Students Battle With Bookstores Over Prices
Amchitka Blast Washington - The underground nuclear test planned on Amchitka Island last Saturday became a point of controversy between the Atomic Energy Commission and environmentalist groups. The AEC claimed that the test was necessary to determine the effectiveness of the bomb which will be part of the ABM system. Environmental organizations have protested the test on the grounds that it will cause tidal waves, earthquakes and radiation leakage into the sea. The governments of Canada and Japan, which lie closer to the island than the U. S., have protested the testing, but President Nixon refused to halt it on the basis of national security. The Supreme Court sat in special session Saturday morning to hear a plea by the environmental groups for an injunction against the test and voted 4 to 3 to grant it. Representatives Named United Nations - The People's Republic of China has named Chiao Kuan-hua and Huang Hua, two men knowledgeable in Soviet and American affairs, to head up its U. N. delegation. Chiao is the Chinese deputy foreign minister and will head the General Assembly delegation. Huang Hua, who was ambassador to Canada, will be a permanent U. N. representative and the delegate to the Security Council. The United States has announced it will continue quasi-diplomatic relations with Peking through the U. N. delegation. Antibusing Rider Washington- The House passed President Nixon's request for $1.5 billion to help with school desegregation, but tacked a rider on the bill placing harsh restrictions on using busing to accomplish tho goal.

Mr. Wayne Harper has discovered that book sales alone cannot keep the bookstore in operation
By LYNNE PIERCE The bookstore at the College of William and Mary has been frequently under attack from the students because of what they felt were exhorbitant prices for books. The administration has constantly stood behind the bookstore and defended it to the point that students felt they were being ignored. Consequently, the Student Association sponsored the sale of new and used textbooks this year. Because the bookstore is owned by the college, controversy has arisen over whether the Student Association should continue its policy. The Lankford Bookstore is privately owned, but it also is continuously under criticism from students. Most of this criticism stems from the fact that many students feel that books and other articles are priced too high.Mrs. M. P. Farrier, a former owner of the bookstore, and Mr. Wayne Harper, the present owner, agreed to answer questions on the pricing of books. Mrs. Farrier owned the bookstore for nine years before she sold it to Mr. Harper last year. One reason Mrs. Farrier gave up the store was that she could no longer run it on the profit she
was making. The book publishers set the price range of their books and allow up to a twenty per cent profit. However, Mrs. Farrier said, "If you don't get forty per cent profit for overhead, you can't stay in business, and added that most stores downtown get a fifty per cent profit. For this reason, the bookstore has to sell other items to make up the difference. Mrs. Farrier said she tried to handle only books and stay at the twenty per cent mark, but that she finally had to sell. Mr. Harper also said he had found out that the profit from the books alone could not pay for the overhead of the store. The other items sold in the store cover a large part of this cost. Mr. Harper said that he makes only the twenty per cent allowed by the publishers, but he declined to disclose what his overall profit was last year. When asked how students sometimes are able to find books at a cheaper price than his, Mr. Harper replied that the other store must have had the book left over from the previous year. Since the book had been bought at a cheaper price, less could be charged for it. The only control
imposed on the bookstore by the college is the Bookstore Committee. This committee is composed of faculty and students and is supposed to insure that bunks are not overpriced. Mr. Harper also explained his policy on returning books. He said some students had been buy-
ing their Ixioks, keeping them for two or three weeks and then would find a used hook for a cheaper price and would want to bring the new book back. The only way that a student can i • turn a textbook now is if she dTO| I course and brings the .-.lip from the registrar with the book.
Miss Bishop Elected President Of VAEA The Virginia Art Education Association held its fall conference Friday, October 29, at VCU. The VAEA is a department of the Virginia Education Association. At this meeting Miss Bishop, Chairman of the Art Department of Longwood, was elected president for 1972-1074. The program focused upon the related or visual and performing arts and was titled, "Involvement in the Related Arts." The conference provided an opportunity for those involved in elementary, middle school, ondary, and higher education to "discuss and debate the value,
feasibility, logistics, and results of dynamic related arts experience in art programs at all levels of instruction," according to Alan Landis, former Vice President, VAEA. After registration and the election of new officers, tin'inference continued as Dr. John Mahlmann, Executive Secretary, National Art Education Association, spoke on "You Gotta Have Art (Visual and Performing)."

A Commentary:
LC Films Become Kiddie Matinees By LYNNE PIERCE The American Heritage Dictionary defines a lady as "a woman having refined habits, gentle manners and a sense of responsibility." If you add to this the idea that a lady also knows how to conduct herself in every situation, it becomes obvious that the term "Longwood Lady" is a misnomer for the students who attend movies on this campus. Since the beginning of school, several movies have been shown on campus and although the quality of the films fluctuates, the audience reaction is always predictable and horribly the same. Perhaps these girls - girls because I seriously doubt that real young women would act in this manner- are trying to show that they really are releasing the tension from what they consider their heavy burden of homework. Certainly, a whole zoo of animals released from their cages could hardly make more noise to show their gratitude. These outbursts of noise always come at strategically planned points in every movie. The first explosion can be expected if the projectionist is unlucky enough to start the film on the lead-in tape instead of di-
rectly at the beginning. Longwood students seem to feel challenged to prove that they can count backwards from 8. I can never understand if these gifted viewers think the rest of us cannot read or if they doubt their own ability. At any rate, I'm always glad to have most of them make it to one. Another sure way to send these youngsters into palpitations is to provide them with a handsome leading man to drool over. (If my references to the audience seem to take on a more juvenile tone as I go along, it is because this is what seems to happen to these girls as the movie progresses.) There is a traditional picture of adult males and their conduct at stag parties or films. Certainly, their conduct cannot far surpass, if indeed it does at all, the conduct of the female wolf segment of the Longwood audience. At a recent showing of "Bullet," this section made itself particularly vocal. Before Steve McWueen had even appeared on the screen, ripples of oohs and ahs passed over the group. When his face finally flashed up, the audience was racked by screams and loud sighs, which were accented by a continuous barrage of highpitched whistles. The commotion
eventually died down, but not until a considerable amount of the initial dialogue had been lost to those who wished to hear it. Of course, one can always count on the "cute" comments that girls seem to feel compelled to make when any scenes hinting at love or sex take place. The recent showings of "La Dolce Vita" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" were particularly good examples of this. There is always a constant tide of snickering and cries similar to "We know what you're going to do?" I would hope that by the time she reaches college every student would have some knowledge of certain areas of life. The list of complaints could grow quite long, but the point would still be the same - Longwood students as a group simply do not understand how to behave during a campus movie. It is time you realize that your conduct is not only unbefitting of the title you have given your self of "Longwood Ladies," but it is embarrassing to students who are unfortunate enough to bring guests on that night. Perhaps until the students learn better manners, the film offerings should be restricted to "Snow White" or "Bambi," where childish reactions are expected.
Support The Primaries Underclassman do you want a strong student government for the 1971-72 session or a puppet show. The choice is yours. This Thursday the students at Longwood will be given an opportunity to exercise one of the privilege or rights (as the case may be) of voting in a student government primary. Let me quickly make it clear that I am not in any way Indicating that the student response in the past has been anything but enthusiastic, but I would hope that in this primary the students will show as much if not more interest in their student government. Interest should be shown, if for no other reason than this election is being run in a different manner. The campaigning policy has been changed in this election to permit campaign managers to put posters and signs around the campus to initiate more interest and familiarity with their respective candidates. If these girls can spend the time during the mid term testing session to make signs for the "hopeful student government girls then I think that the underclassman can certainly make an effort to support the primaries Support your student government. It might be too late tomorrow LW

Etttrw b tkt &AK Term Papers Dear Editor, I could hardly believe my eyes, but there it was on page three of the Rotunda (Nov. 3,1971): an advertisement for "Termpapers Unlimited" complete with telephone number for speedy results. With the College currently engaged in a self-study for continued accreditation, I question the wisdom of such advertising. As a member of the faculty, I wonder if student use of these services might not be a violation of the Honor Code. As a former journalism student, I wonder if such advertising in a student newspaper is not a violation of the code of journalism ethics, a code as binding on student publications as on the public press. Sincerely, Elizabeth Etheridge
INo Papers Dear Editor, This weekend between one hundred and one hundred fifty student teachers returned to Longwood a little bewildered and quite uninformed. What is being built next to the dining hall? What happened during Oktoberfest? Have the new members of Who's Who been chosen? What new legislation have the boards passed? WHAT'S GOING ON? In the past student teachers have received copies of THE ROTUNDA to keep them informed. This year we received none, and as a result we are eight weeks behind the times. What happened? Lynne Wilson
Amoebic Monster To the Student Body: As you are walking around campus, marveling at the expansion that has taken place in recent years, do you ever think of what this means to Farmville? Monetary aspects are not what I am thinking about. The appearance of Farmville itself is more in my line of thinking. Many of us complain because Farmville is a small town and its entertainment facilities are admittedly few. However, we all knew this before we arrived here. The college seems to have found an answer to this though in that it is slowly gobbling up the town. Longwood is like some sort of amoebic monster from a science fiction film. It slowly sends out its tentacles and then with a sudden gulp another part of Farmville disappears. This is done under the guise that the college needs to expand to meet student needs and the size of the student body. For this reason, we are going to build another maintenance building, a physical education building, more athletic fields and parking lots. All of this while classrooms are going unused. The most obvious expression of this expansion is the disappearance of small wooded areas around campus and the old beautiful homes that once stood in the area around Curry and Frazer. A perfect example is the piece of land between Curry and the Fine Arts complex. On top of that rise sits a comfortable but majestic home surrounded by huge shade trees. The possibilities of such a place as a spot of retreat for students from
the sterile appearance of the campus are unlimited. Instead, it will all eventually be cleared to make way for a physical education building and a parking lot. Instead of looking out on trees, students will then be able to stare at blacktop. The same thing is happening over by the new maintenance building. Those homes still bear signs of human habitation. A child's deserted toy fire engine sits in the front yard of one with only the wind ringing its bell. I suppose this description sounds euphoric, but if it accents my meaning, then so be it. I am certainly no lover of Farmville itself because I complain about it as much as anyone. However, I think it's time the students realized that we, as well as the town, are paying for our progress. How many of you like to go for walks on Sunday afternoon just to get away from studying? Well, you's better enjoy them, because, the way Longwood is expanding, the scenery won't be here long. One last thing to consider What's happening to the people who lived in these houses? Farmville's housing situation is limited at best. Of course, you say they could refuse to sell their homes, but I wonder how much resistence can be put up against a state institution bent on achieving its own ends? For a generation that's supposed to be so aware of the problems of others, we seem to be ignoring the mess in our own backyard. Lynne Pierce

Works Of Printmakers From Win ston-Salem On Exhibition The work ofSixWinston-Salem Printmakers will be exhibited in the Bedford Gallery, Longwood College, from Saturday, November 6, until Tuesday, November 23. (Gallery hours: MondayThursday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; 7 p.m.11 p.m.; Friday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday, 2 p.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday, 2 p.m.-10 p.m.) In the study of 19th and 20th century artists' works, we find that they have made many contributions to the world of art in styles and techniques. One of the most interesting of the aspects of contemporary artists is their work in printmaking. This graphic technique has been used for many
centuries by groat masters such as Durer in his dry-point of •Praying Hands', 1509, Holbein in his 'Dance of Death' woodcuts of 1523-1524, and Rembrandt with his many techings of Biblical subjects, c. 1650. Honore Daumier early in the 19th century discovered the many possibilities of lithography, and the German Expressionists of the 20th century used woodcuts as their technique for their powerful religious, political, and psychological statements. Very few, if any, of the printmaking techniques are simple. Each requires the knowledge and talent of an artist plus extreme
The new practice organ offers music students a chance to refine their talents.
New Practice Organ To Be Shown At Open House The Music Department of Longwood College received delivery of a new 6-stop tracker practice organ manufactured by Karl Wilhelm, Red'd, Designers and Builders of Mechanical Action Organs, St.-Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada, on October 28. The installation, regulation and voicing of the new instrument was done by Mr. Christoph Linde of the Wilhelm firm. In talking about the new organ, Mr. Paul S. Hesselink, Assistant Professor of Music and instructor in organ at the college, said,

"The acquisition of the Wilhelm organ gives the organ practice and study facilities at Longwood a new excellence. Though modest in size, the instrument is extremely versatile. In the quality of materials used, and in details of design and craftsmanship, every facit of fabrication was done with the utmost attention to artistic and aesthetic ideals. I know of no finer organ practice facility in the state." The Longwood Student Chapter of the American Guild of Organists will host an open house, Thursday, November 11, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. to show and demonstrate the new instrument.

Publication Code: Big Brother Or Paper Tiger By LYNNE PIERCE The William and Mary FLAT HAT and the Mary Washington BULLET, the newspapers at both colleges, found themselves in the center of controversy over their journalistic practices last year. The FLAT HAT and its editor eventually faced charges on printing obscene material, THE BU Ll.FT lias had charges of irresponsible journalism leveled at it .IIKI i- presently involved in several court cases. The effect of these incidents on the Virginia General Assembly was to produce an intense interest in the publications of Virginia colleges and the COdM which Deemed them. The investigation contacted concluded in a movement in the legislature to restrict the amount of hinds given to the publications, Longwood became susceptible to this when it was discovered that it had no code of ethics tor Publications Board, Alth >u thi i .i t itemenl on editorial i> tponsibilit] In tin college handbook, it ted thai a statement g iving the board's feelings on plai iai ism ■ad obscenity to be adopted as a protection for the publication . The code would also demonstrate to the legislature thai the board is willini', to take disciplinai \ action against a publication if III •eededi
Committee Action When the suggestion was submitted to the Publications Board last year, they began drawing up a code and then turned their work
over to a committee composed of Cookie Howell, the VIRGINIAN editor and acting chairman of the board, Dr. William Frank, VIRGINIAN advisor, LiseWorthington, the ROTUNDA editor, Mr. Douglas Young, ROTUNDA advisor, and Margaret Webb, who, as a member of Legislative Board, sat in to give suggestions. The committee drew up one code which was approved by the Publications Board and submitted to Legislative Board at the end of the school year. The administration and the staff sent the code back to the committee with sugIted changes which were incorporated into three revisions drawn up over the summer by an ad hoc committee of Cookie Howell and Dr. Frank. Legislative Board lias never made any sug■ tiotis for any of the submitted plans.
The revisions were passed by the Publications Board, but more suggestions were made by the administration. After several more changes, a code was approved by Legislative Board and was adopted bj the Board of visitors al its meeting last Prida;
Real Authority one of the major problems with the code is going to be who Is going to enforce it. The Publications Board, ai a subordinate board of the Student Government, has "next to DO power" in the words of its chairman, Cookie Howell. Cookie -aid the committee originallv proposed that cases involving publications be handled by the
board, but this idea was rejected. The system eventually adopted requires that a reported violation go before Judicial Board, which will work in cooperation with Publications Board. Publications Board, however, will serve only in an advisory capacity and will have no vote in the trial. Interpretation of the code is another expected problem. Obscenity, for example, is considered anything offensive to the "general readership of the individual publication." Cookie said that the code was made general to cover the scope of all of the publications, but nothing had been said about who would judge whether something was obscene or not. According to the code's wording, it is conceivable that a poll would have to be taken of the student body to reach an opinion.
Opinions Mr. Allen Wier, advisor to the GYRE, felt that since there the statement on editorial msibility in the school handbook, he could see no reason for a code; b iwever, he understood the point of wanting to provide ome protection for the publications, lie saw no controls in the code, though, and felt that it generallv would have no effect on the GYRE. Mr. Wier said that all material accepted on the basis of its literary merit with some concern for the prevailing moral standards of the student body. He added that if he felt something would be challenged, he would advise the staff of it; however, they
would make the final decision and the responsibility for printing it would rest with the editor, Mr. Wier also felt that only the student body could judge obscenity in the GYRE since, according to the code, it is the general readership. Unlike the newspaper, the GYRE would not be distributed to be seen by the Farmville community, alumni or parents. Therefore, students, who he feels hold more liberal attitudes, should decide the limits of the magazine. Mr. Wier also pointed out that the statement in the handbook and the code were pointed at the purse strings of all publications and if they were independent, would be unnecessary.
"Unprofessional" Mr. Douglas Young, sponsor of THE ROTUNDA, particularly objected to section three which calls for a statement on opinions expressed in the publication. He said "traditionally what is on the editorial page is taken as the opinion of the editor and anything labeled commentary is the opinion of the writer." Mr. Young feels that having to make a statement to that fact is "unprofessional." Mr. Young also agreed with Mr. Wier that because of the statement in the handbook, a code was unnecessary. However, he felt that because the paper comes out more often, it will be affected by the code. Lise Worthington, editor of THE ROTUNDA, had no comment when asked about the code.
Publication Code The following is the Publication Code approved by the Board of Visitors on November 5. The Publications Board offers the following guidelines with reference to the responsibility of the editors of each of the three officially recognized campus publications, the Gyre, the Rotunda, and the Virginian. 1. The Gyre, Longwood's literary magazine, is a compilation of student work including short stories, poems, essays, reviews, artwork, and photography. The Gyre tries to encourage serious writing on the campus and to produce a magazine of quality representational work. 2. The Rotunda, Longwood's weekly college newspaper, aims to keep students, faculty, administration, and alumnae informed of current affairs; to reflect campus opinions; and to serve as a chronicle of college activities, 3. The Virginian, Longwood's yearbook, gives an account of Longwood life, the academic and the social functions, the campus proper, and the Farmville community. Either of the followm shall l>e classified as plagiarism in student edited publication and shall be considered violations of the Honor Code and subject to the jurisdiction of the Judicial Board: 1. The use of written work from any source without proper acknowledgement; 2. The use of photographic prints or artwork without a re(Continued on page 7)

Ends Season With 6-1-1 Record Longwood's hockey team captured twelve places on the Tidewater Hockey Team and took the first place title in the Tidewater area at the annual tournament held this week end at the College of William and Mary. These girls will journey to Potomac High School in McLean, Virginia, November 19-21 toplay in the Southeast Field Hockey Tournament. Anyone winning a position on a team at this tournament will then go to the National Hockey Tournament. Those girls from Longwood who were placed on Tidewater teams are: Loretta Bunting, right halfback, Tidewater 1st Team; Beck Burch, right halfback, Karen Smith, left wing, Ellen Dunn, left halfback, and Dana Hutcherson, goalkeeper, Tidewater 2nd Team; Diane Derrick, right wing, Nancy Dmock, left fullback, and Beth Cobb, right fullback, Tidewater 3rd Team; Susan Wagner, left inner, and Margo Gray, center forward, Tidewater 4th Team; and Diane Padgett and LucySale, substitutes. At the tournament, Longwood
fell to William and Mary 2-0, but came back to defeat the Richmond Club 2-0 and Westhampton 3-2 and capture the Tidewater Area Title. Longwood College had a good season, ending with six wins, one tie, and one loss for the first team, and a five win, one tie, and one loss for the second team. Recent games showed Longwood in the scoring columns. Mary Washington College was defeated 5-0 in first team competition and 9-0 in second team competition in a game played in Fredericksburg. During Oktoberfest week end, Longwood tied the Richmond Club, which is made up of many Longwood alumni and area teachers, with a score of 2-2. The most recent game was placed in Richmond against Virginia Commonwealth University. Longwood's first team won 3-0 and the second team followed with a winning score of 4-0. The first team is coached by Miss Diane L. Davis and is managed by Miss June Beninghove.

New Faculty At Campus School Praise Children And Facilities By VALERIE BLANKS Two new teachers holding positions at Wynne Campus School this year are Mrs. Gladys Seiwell and Mr. David Alexick. Mrs. Seiwell is presently teaching the second grade at the Campus School. She has taught in several places but calls Richmond, where she was born and raised, her home. Besides teaching, Mrs.Seiwell is working on her master's degree by taking night courses at VCU. She is also interested in the theatre, especially children's theatres, and attends whenever she can. In noting a trend in her years of teaching, Mrs. Seiwell said that "the education system is always changing. Now children are exposed to life and life situations more." She also noted that teaching methods have changed in that many more media - films, film strips, television, record play-
ers, and tape recorders — are used. "The present education system helps widen the horizon of the child," she said. As art director at the Campus School, Mr. Alexick teaches art classes for all seven grades. Mr. Alexick grew up in Williamsburg and has lived in Virginia most of his life. He earned his Bachelor and Master degrees of Fine Arts at VCU. He then taught at a junior college in York, Pennsylvania. For the past three years Mr. Alexick has been working on his doctorate at Penn State, which he hopes to receive in a year or two. Mr. Alexick said he likes living in Farmville and working at the Campus School, and praised the well-equipped facilities of the school. He is also pleased with the active attitude of the students. "Young children are more challenging to work with than older students," he said.

Seeing Double Becomes Common On Campus By BECKY NICHOLSON For centuries multiple births have fascinated people, but according to the eleven sets of twins on campus it isn't that unusual. Three of the sets of twins are day students. They are Janice and Joyce Foster, James and Thomas Nixon, and Maria and Mireya Silveira. Most of the twins feel that the greatest advantage of being a twin is being able to share clothes. The second greatest advantage is as Leslie Schatz says, "You always have a friend
along." Debbie and Diane Amme are Physical Education majors from Virginia Beach. They are probably the most psychic of the group. Both of them remember people peering into their baby carriage, and when they were six years old they had the same dream. Both of them like the same things, and they use the same gestures and expressions. Their brother is the only one in the family who can always tell them apart. The only disadvantage of being a twin, to Debbie
and Diane, is the fact that people notice them more. Denny and Terry Moyer are education majors from Lynchburg. They are very close, and when one twin cries the other cries too. Their hobbies include sewing and, when they were younger, planting lollypops in their "candy garden" was a favorite pastime. The Schatz twins are from Hampton, Virginia. Cindy is an English major, and Leslie is an Elementary Education major. They think alike and their moth-
er says that the letters they send home are almost identical. The only physical difference in the two is that one is left-handed and the other is right-handed. Leslie says that it doesn't bother her when people get them mixed up unless it is someone they have known for a long time. Sarah and Susan Smithey are Math majors from Richmond. Their greatest interest next to Math is drawing. Sarah says that the greatest advantage of having a twin is that she knows the same situation and can understand better. Charlene and Glenda Rice are French and Elementary Education majors, respectively, and they are from Richmond. Proton* bly not half the people on campus know they are twins because they aren't identical. In fact, most people think Charlene and her older sister are twins. Their characteristics are as varied as sisters of different ages. Irene and Josie Bonds are sophomore elementary education majors from Richmond. They think alike, respond with the same reactions, and oven date the same guys, but ttiey don't share the
same friends. Their parents encouraged them to be individualistic. People don't usually get the two confused unless it's on the telephone. Bobby and Debbie Ellin are from McLean, Virginia. Bobby is an elementary education major and Debbie is a double major in elementary and physical education. They like all sports, especially tennis. Bobby is interested in oceanography and Debbie enjoys music. Their friends say that they are completely different. Bobby Is right-handed and Debbie is ambidextrous. Bobby says that the disadvantage of bein B twin is that others think of them as one instead of separate individuals. Betty and Patsy Garland are elementary majors from RoaDOke, They have similar interests, but their reaction irenl always the same. Betty ays that the greatest disadvanta eofbeing a twin is that people try to cornpare them. Like Betty, most of the twins agree that it's certainly not as weird being a twin, i ipeoole might think, To rm t twins it's no different than vine a regular sister.
