Q - Why do letters to the editor have to be signed? (Initials Witheld) A - Editor l.ynne Pierce replied: 1 feel that anyone who has an honest opinion that lie wants to express should have no quams about signing his name to it. If I have an idea, I want people to know it's mine. At the same time, it acts as a type of restraint in that people usually will not use letters to make personal and unjustified attacks against individuals if they have to put their names at the bottom. Also, I like to know who is using the paper as a means of expression in order to protect the paper and the student body. I understand however that some students are afraid to use the ROTUNDA as a means of expression because of a fear of reprisals from other members of the Longwood community. I can only re-emphasize that the ROTUNDA stands behind the right of every member of our community to express a legitimate opinion in this column. I have been to administration members before because of unfortunate incidents which I think it should be said however that most people on campus are very receptive to letters, whether critical or complimentary, and students should feel no aversion to writing them. Q • Why was the story on Susie Glasheen written? Isn't the feature story to be of interest to the whole student body? If. M A - This question was also the subject of a letter to the editor. I would suggest that you refer to the Editor's Note under this letter for your answer. Q - What were the results of the survey taken from the dining hall last year? D.C. A - Only 36% of the students participated in the survey, according to Mr. Carbone, and the dining hall prefers at least 50% for an accurate count. Another survey will be taken in November. The most popular foods served, according to the survey, are roast beef, roast turkey, hot roast beef sandwichs, beef steak and fried chicken. The most unpopular dishes are roast beef hash, pizza, fried scallops, fish and grilled cheese sandwiches. Q - What can happen if a boy is caught here in a girl's room? What if a girl and boy are caught

Legislative Board Hears Results Of New Curfew Procedure By BECKY NICHOLSON Terry Jones, Chairman of Residence Board, reported to the Legislative Board last week about the results associated with the new curfew procedure. In Curry and Frazer together about 55 used the privilege per night while an estimated 15 to 25 used the privilege in other dorms. Most of the violations came under Guest Rules. Terry reminded the Board of the fact that guests must be signed in, and, concerning curfew, they must either come in with their hostess or before her. AU students were held responsible for their guests, and violations resulted in denial of the privilege. Residence Board resolved most of the problems that arose, and fewer violations occurred after the first week end. The infirmary committee reported to the Board last week, and in this report the committee stressed two points. The first was that students be reminded to notify their Head Resident when going to the infirmary after 9 p.m. The Head Resident will notify the Campus Police who will take the student to the infirmary. This rule was enforced to ensure the safety of the Individual while on her way there. Secondly, a student should go to the infirmary herself if she want-
ed medication instead of sending someone else. This rule was created due to the Drug Laws enforced in the country. The question of extending library hours in the evening was again brought to the attention of the Board, but a definite answer was not reached last week. After talking to Dean BlackweU, Bobbsie Bannin thought that the answer would probably be a negative one. The reasoning was still focused around the facts that: (1) it would cost more money because more workers are needed at night for security reasons. (2) Last year's survey conducted by Mrs. LeStourgeon showed that the number of individuals using the library dwindled considerably by 10p.m. The Board received a letter from Colonel Abrams concerning the new public address system in the dining hall. All of the equipment will be wired in Mr. Carbone's office for security reasons, except for the "mike" which will remain in the dining hall. Also, Colonel Abrams sent another letter to the Board in regard to student concern about poor lighting around Curry and Frazer. Colonel Abrams said that the street in front of these dorms belongs to the town of Farmville.
last night in Wygal by the Smithsonian Institution's Touring Puppet Theatre with the puppeteers Allan Stevens and Company. The group was sponsored by the Central Virginia Chapter of Virginia Museum and Longwood College. Allan Stevens and Company have been creating puppet shows for the Smithsonian for over two years. They have performed on tour all over the country and also maintain the resident puppet theatre at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. Some of the adventures which the yarn-haired Tom encountered were conning his friends into white-washing the fence, witnessing a graveyard murder, unveiling Injun Joe as the culprit, courting Becky Thatcher, and getting lost in the cave. Conducted also this week in conjunction with the theatre were seven workshops for the Art and Drama majors. Some of the topics discussed and demonstrated were the construction of simple puppets, history of puppetry, adapting a play for puppet theatre, style and choice of puppets, manipulation techniques of hand, rod, shadow, and string puppets and the use of puppets around the world.

Dean Wilson Attends Regional Association Of Women Deans Dr. Ruth B. Wilson, Dean of Students, and Miss Vonnie Jones, Assistant Head Resident in Curry Resident Hall, attended the annual meeting of the Regional Association of Women Deans and Counselors in Annapolis, Maryland, on October 20-21. Approximately fifty women from Maryland, Delaware, the District of Columbia and Virginia met to discuss various aspects of student personnel work. According to Dean Wilson, the highlight of the Conference was an address by Sister Kathleen Feeley, President of the College of Notre Dame of Maryland, who spoke on "Shaping Forces in the Education of Women." These forces, as seen by President Feeley, include humanization, spiritualization, equalization and
individualization as they apply to women in a rapidly changing world. "Student personnel workers," said the speaker, "should help their students to see that the choices they make in any facet of their daily living determine their values in life as a whole and to help them cope with life." The speaker recommended three books that she felt might help in this area because they contain experiences, good and bad, of others who had to learn to choose, to cope and to establish their values. These are PRIVATE FACES; PUBLIC PLACES by Abigail McCarthy; BRING ME A UNICORN by Ann Morrow Lindberg; and JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL by Richard Bach.

Leadership "I'm going to the Head Table and complain." How many times have you said those very words, perhaps substituting one of the boards or other groups on campus for the Head Table? Probably many times. But how often do students go to one of these organizations to offer a compliment? I think it is safe to assume that there isn't a mass stampede to do this. Leadership is a very difficult role to fill. It means that the responsibility for directing someone's future but your own has been accepted and must be carried out to the best of your ability Often it means spending hours thinking about one point, weighing the pros and cons, to reach a decision that will guarantee the best possible course for the group. Sometimes, unfortunately, it means standing against a VOCAL minority because you know they do not represent your group and that you cannot let yourself be swayed by their clamoring to a policy that would work to the detriment of the majority. No one has ever said that leadership is easy, though Anyone who accepts such a position knows beforehand that it is going to be difficult. Often, I suspect, they actually enjoy the difficulty because they view it as something of a challenge to their abilities. Too often, though, the challenge is negated by the indifference and lack of positive response from the student body. Complaints are good and should by no means be stifled. They stimulate action, which in turn hopefully brings about new policies to benefit the group. However, they must be balanced by some expression of support from the students, or the will to lead could easily be crushed. As an example, Student Government worked very hard to get the new visitation and curfew policies into effect. Many complaints were heard about the delays, having to stay up late and so forth, but few people considered we were lucky to get these policies at all. Most of us have no trouble being able to participate in these programs without once thinking of the struggles that took place to make them possible. Your leaders don't want an outpouring of emotion in their behalf. Most of them would probably be embarrassed if this happened. But I don't think it's unreasonable for them to expect some understanding and patience from us. They may be chairmen, presidents, vice-chairmen, secretaries or whatever, but they're also students. They make mistakes and they need encouragement. Nothing can be done overnight and be done well. No one can function under only criticism. Perhaps we should keep in mind that, when we put them in those positions, we assumed a responsibility to them - support. Maybe the next time, when you're coming to the Head Table or attending a meeting, it can be because you want to recognize them for a job well done. The highest praise they can receive is the praise of a fellow student. LYNNE

Oktoberfest
Unsigned Dear Editor, Once upon a time, a Longwood lady of the Class of '47 fell into the disfavor of a local witch, and the evil witch cast a sleeping spell on her. Our Longwood lady would not wake up until a handsome prince found and kissed her. The year 1972 happened to have an abundance of handsome princes and so our '47 Green and White got her kiss and the spell was broken. The question here is left to you: do you think that when she woke up and looked around at Longwood she would realize she'd been asleep for 25 years? The buildings might tell her something, but the personality of the school would probably convince her that she'd had only a short nap. Why does Longwood not catch up with the times? For example, years ago when a girl came to college, she was probably away from home for the first time and needed something to take the place of her family. Class spirit and school spirit in skits, color competition, and CHI were necessary to help her adjust to the change. Few freshmen now are that untraveled, "so the Green and Whites and Red and Whites" are reduced to triteness. If you disagree, consider this: how often are you proud to tell a date or your family about who won the color cup (if you even know) or about the paint battle? Longwood - the teacher factory - is producing out of date products. Maybe we do "teach to teach" (if that is possible), but who has had any instruction dealing with very real problems in schools today such as racism and drugs? And while we're on the subject of drugs, why do many of our faculty and administration gasp at the idea of drugs and marijuana and lecture against them without really knowing what's going on? There are no "withdrawal symptoms" to smoking majijuana (yes, you do smoke it not "take" it), in fact, it is a
Editor's Note: Please refer to the statement of policy under the first question in the Catalyst column.
Academics All too often, we the student body, become so involved in extracurricular or social activities that we place our academics second. Granted outside activities enhance our intellectual knowledge, but it Is not a substitute for the higher learning we all strive for. During this week of academic emphasis, we should stop and reflect on the fact that Longwood is founded on the premis of increasing knowledge. The college offers its students much in their individual pursuits of knowledge. The most obvious aid to academic achievement which Longwood offers is classroom instruction. We tend to take our fine faculty staff for granted, often rationalizing that poor grades are the professors fault, rather than facing the realization that they are a reflection of our own lack of effort and participation in the subjects offered. Our honors program is an excellent opportunity for individual learning. We can pursue whatever field of endeavor interests us most. With the guidance and assistance of a professor we are able to take pride in our individual achievement. Perhaps we need to overcome the peer pressure of "academic snobbery." It seems to be out of style to have above average grades and therefore eligible for the honors program. Another opportunity for learning offered by the college is the many visiting lecturers and workshops. These scholars provide outside stimuli and enrich our college community. By taking advantage of these we can supplement our classroom learning. The academic advantages offered by Longwood are more than
we could physically utilize. But, during academic emphasis week let us reflect on our opportunities and our duties to ourselves to make greater use of the means available.
Appreciation Dear Editor, It is with gratitude that I here recognize the gift of $30.94 given by the students of Longwood College to the United Fund Drive. I, on behalf of the community organizations benefited, sincerely thank you for your contribution. Robert Blasch Chairman, Longwood College Division, United Fund Drive
Mock Elections Editor's Note: The following letter was received by the Mock elections committee and forwarded to the ROTUNDA because they felt it was meant for the entire student body.
Dear Friends, I was stunned and shocked to see that the Student Body at Longwood had voted 70 per cent for Nixon - 12 per cent for McGovern and 8 per cent for Schmidt. Where is your realism and your idealism — you know they are interchangeable! I thought crime meant something to the American people, but it seems one has become so accustomed to it, that in high places it is accepted as a pasttime. This Administration under Mr. Nixon is engulfed in corruption - and Mr. Nixon is entangled too. The watergate case the ITT affair - the wheat deal the milk fraud — the Social Security slip which some in my family received the other day. They were prepared for the raise of 20 per cent which was passed with Mr. Wilbur Mills help over Mr. Nixon's disapproval as he wanted only 5 per cent. Yet he, Mr. Nixon puts a slip in each letter to fool the people. Now the latest take over of the news is terrific! Our papers are completely one-sided. They distort the truth and take nearly everything out of context. I think they have brain-washed the American people. From what I've heard about the Teapot Dome scandal, it was a mere tea party by the Nixon frauds! Eisenhower in 1952 received letters three to one to dump Nixon, (he never liked Nixon) and if he had we wouldn't have (Continued on Page 6)

Richmond Sinfonia Will Perform Nov. 5, In Wygal The Richmond Sinfonia, a group of 32 principals from the Richmond Symphony Orchestra, will perform Sunday, November 5, at 8:00 in Wygal. The Sinfonia, formed in 1965, is perhaps the most notable of the smaller groups within the main Richmond Symphony specifically created to take live orchestral performances to smaller communities. Since the Richmond Symphony came under the direction of Jacques Houtmann, the orchestra has enjoyed considerably greater fame and attention than ever before. Thanks to the creation of these smaller groups the Symphony has become much more active in areas outside of the capital city. The Sinfonia's reputation has grown to the point
that it is much sought after for concerts not only in this country but also in several European Festival Cities. They have been selected to appear in the 1972 Summer Arts Festival in Bermuda. Now, thanks to the interest of the support of its Corporate Patrons and the National Endowment for the Arts, area residents will have the opportunity to enjoy this extremely versatile ensemble whose local performance will be sponsored by the Central Virginia Chapter of the Virginia Museum and Longwood College. Tickets for the performance will be sold at the door and are $2.50 for adults, $1.50 for students and a 50£ discount for museum members.

By JEANNIE ENGLAND Chinese art is 3,000 years old and is as vast a topic as the grains of sand on the beach, according to Miss Nancy Leitch of Longwood's Art Department who presented a slide-talk for the Oriental Society on four of the grains of sand: the great Chinese bronzes, pottery and porcelain, sculpture, and painting. The unique, integral design and spirit or vigor found in the Shang and Chou bronzes as well as the importance of animal life were highlighted by colorful slides of these great pieces of Chinese Art. Pictures of pottery and porcelain stamped or carved in design and sometimes crackled or colored with glazes, reflected the Chinese sense of restraint and the symbolic use of nature. Some of
THE ROTUNDA
the most colorful slides presented were of Chinese sculpture in wood, clay, stone, and green or mutton-fat (white) jade. The interest in animals and the skill employed in these carvings are again typical of Chinese Art. Nature is the subject matter for Chinese paintings and, since the main objective in painting is to combine spirit with objects and not to depict the object alone, even the scenic mists and mountains in Chinese drawings seem to be alive. Chinese Art, particularly paintings, has not changed greatly over the years. The contemporary works are much like the traditional ones perhaps because the traditional are still very strong in China.
Photographs of sculpture by Janet deCoux will be on exhibit in Bedford Gallery from October 27 through November 12. The artist is a native ofMiles, Michigan, and has studied at the Carnegie Institute ofTechnology, New York School of Industrial Design, Rhode Island School of Design and Chicago Art Institute. Miss deCoux was an apprentice under C. Paul Jennewein, A. B. Cianfarani, Gozo Kawamura, Alvin Meyer, and James Earl Fraser. Miss deCoux has received numerous awards which are evidence of the quality of her sculpture. They include a Guggenheim Fellowship and renewal, the Widener gold medal from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, a grant for creative endeavor from the National Academy and National Institute of Arts and Letters, and the Carnegie prize. Her work has been exhibited widely, including a one-man show at the Carnegie Institute, Artist of the Year Show of the Arts and Crafts Center, a show sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh, and many group shows. The sculpture by Janet deCoux reflects religious subjects such as the Saints Angela, Benedict, Scholastica, Mary and Joseph. Much of her work is very large and adorns churches, chapels, public and private collections. Statues, altars, portraits, doors, and even medals reflect her sensitivity with sculpture. The photographs of her work are being exhibited in Bedford Building Gallery and can be seen during the regular gallery hours.

Court held at Windsor in 1184 into a Christmas Court that never was. This historical drama is based on the facts of the outcome of the characters' relationshipssuch things as who kills whom and when. But the quality and content of these relationships as well as the characters and passions of the people in the play are fictitious. The action is based largely on the nonexisting laws of primogeniture in Henry's time. The aging Henry is faced with the problem tliat very rarely was a king ever followed by his eldest son. When a king died, it was an open season on the English throne, a fact responsible for much of Henry's action in the play.
Cast Under the direction of Dr. Patton Lockwood, the cast includes faces both familiar and new to the Longwood stage. Belinda Brugh, a senior Drama major, will portray the remarkable queen, Eleanor of Aquilane. Dave Clark, a Hampden-Sydney senior, is cast as Richard, the eldest son in the royal family. The younger son, John, will be played by Stanley Kelsey, a resident of Farmville. Jeffree Hudson, a newcomer in a major role, will be playing the role of the beautiful Alais Capet. Two other newcomers in THE LION IN WINTER are Dr. Bob Webber, a professor in the math department here, who will play Philip Capet, King of France, and Dawson Nash, a freshman at Ham pden-Sydney who portrays Geoffrey.
Henry II One of the mostinterestingactors in the play is Lee Tatum who is playing Henry II. Tatum is a college mate of Lock wood's from the University of Virginia where the two acted together into productions. Tatum is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and the University of Virginia where be received best actor awards for every play he was in. Today he resides in an historical 208-year old Buckingham farmhouse, Clarernont, and works as an advertising executive in Richmond. As Henry II in the play, Tatum finds his character involved in a political romance triangle between his imprisoned wife,Eleanor, and Alais, the intended wife of his son and the sister of France's king, Philip Capet. The play is Tatum's first role in 13 years. When asked whether he will act in more plays now, he replied, "Not from a professional standpoint. It's important and fun, but there's a lot more security in what I'm doing now than in the theatre. "I'd like to another one at Longwood but I don't want it to be another 13 years."

THE ROTUNDA
Wednesday, November 1, 1972
Even during normal loads, The Jarman lot seems to offer several parking spaces that the faculty is not making use of.
Current Parking Facilities Seen As Adequate Bv DEBBIK BASTEK There was a time when seniors were the only students at Longwood permitted to have cars on campus. Since 1970, however, the picture lias changed significantly - and questions have been raised during the past few weeks about current parking facilities and the designation of available spaces on campus. According to Col. B. B. Abrams, Director of the Physical Plant, Longwood liad no parking plan until the fall of 1970 when juniors, for the first time in the history of the college, were allowed to keep cars on campus. At that time, the first parking plan was made, designating specific parking areas for students, faculty, and members of the administrative staff. Parking Lots Other than the small parking lot behind Jarman, the first parking lot of any consequence, that behind Lankford and by Bedford, was opened in the fall of '70. The Lankford lot was initially used to provide parking for students and the college pool cars. Space availability on the townowned streets which run through the campus was divided on the basis of the population percentage of students, faculty, and staff. Spaces were then assigned on the basis of utilization and convenience. Col. Abrams added, "Although
most of the streets around the campus are town streets over which we don't have full and legal control, the town has cooperated in our use of the streets for parking our personnel, and as long as the students, faculty, and staff cooperate, we probably can continue the use of the streets for our purposes." In the fall of 1971, a survey was conducted and it was found that faculty members were not fully utilizing the previously reserved Bedford parking lot. On this basis, 17 of the 27 spaces were opened for student use. The opening of Frazer dormitory presented additional parking problems. The town of Farmville allowed parking on only one side of the street running in front of the high rise dorms. Students, however, began parking on both sides of the street, creating difficult passage for cars. The college then constructed a temporary parking lot with cinders to help relieve the problem. Col. Abrams explained, "Every chance we get, within our resources, we put more cinders on it, roU it, and fiU the ruts." Last spring, Pine Street was also opened for student parking. A group of seniors came to CoL Abrams shortly afterward and said that the distance between their parking space and dorms was too far to walk with luggage and wanted to know what could be done about it. By the time the
group returned from student teaching, two more temporary parking lots had been constructed at the intersection of Spruce and Radford Streets. Lot on Ely Street Since the start of the current semester, the first in which sophomores are allowed to have cars on campus, another temporary lot has been constructed on Spruce Street. Students living in Stubbs, Cox, and Wheeler dorms found that other than the Jarman lot, which is reserved for faculty members, there were only town streets in their area. Longwood owns two lots on the west side of Ely Street, on which coal has been stored for the past three years. The Master Plan calls for the construction of a permanent parking lot there eventually, and Col. Abrams had the coal removed from one of the lots to provide another temporary lot for these students. Students living in the Cunninghams were also having problems getting close enough to their dorm to load or unload cars. The parking plan was modified, allowing parking on Madison Street between Pine and Ely from 1 p.m. Fridays until 8 p.m. Sundays. This modification was announced in the Daily Bulletin for several issues. The complete rules and regulations involving parking will be published in the next issue of the Student Hand-
book. Student Complaints Students have voiced complaints about the sometimes muddy, dusty, temporary parking lots, and CoL Abrams pointed out that everything possible is done to keep the lots in shape. However, cost is a major factor involved in maintenance — it costs several hundred dollars just to get a lot graded. Old house foundations and town sewer lines cause additional problems and cost when a lot is being cleared for use as a temporary parking area. Some students have asked why the temporary lot across from Curry and Frazer can't be paved over. The Master Plan calls for the construction of a new Physical Education building, which will have a permanent lot built in conjunction with it. The permanent lot, built at a cost of $110,500, will not be constructed where the temporary lot is currently located. "The College is trying very hard to get the lot and P. E. building approved," Col. Abrams stated. "We've been working on this now for two years." Day Students Day students also park in the designated student areas, as no distinction is made between the day students and a resident student. The only difference between the two is that day students do not have to pay for a
parking decale, "because their parents uaually pay taxes anyway." Col. Abrams added, "We think we're the only four-year state-supported college in Virginia that doesn't charge students for parking." Faculty members enjoy special parking privileges, because it is felt that as some members have to go from one building to another for classes, it is, in the long run, to the students' advantage. The Jarman lot, noticeably empty at intervals, is reserved for faculty members because they come and go, whereas students leave their automobiles in place for most of the week. Students parking in theElyStreet temporary lot have expressed concern over the possibility of car theft, and Col. Abrams noted that students may move their cars into the Jarman lot overnight. Some 170 Vacant Spaces Although some students may feel they are inconvenienced by a lack of parking space, at the present time no real problem is apparent. A survey of the parking situation conducted the week of October 16-20 revealed 170 vacant spaces on campus. Of these, 50 were in the LankfordBedford parking area. And, as Col. Abrams remarked, "The plan has been working well."

Hamburger Eating Contest At a hamburger joint in Boone, N.C., the students of Appalachian State University were challenged to a hamburger eating contest. Nearly 300 hungry students decided to enter including only 15 girls. Some of the participants claimed they had been training for this event by either eating a whole lot to stretch their stomach or not eating at all so they would be overly hungry. The winner of the event consumed 32 hamburgers in less than two hours. The winner commented on his victory by saying, "All I have to say is that it's a shame that the Olympics don't have a hamburger eating contest."

The weekends of October 7-8 and 14 were busy ones for LC fencers and their coach, Miss Sally Bush, Assistant Professor of Physical Education. A group of five traveled the first weekend to Mary Baldwin College to attend the annual coaches'clinic which was enlarged this year to accommodate all interested collegiate fencers. Approximately 35 coaches and fencers attended. Several were visitors from South and North Carolina who are involved in starting programs of their own and looking for assistance. The guest clinician, Miss Denise O'Connor, who is from New Jersey and teaches at Brooklyn City College, New York, was back for her third clinic. Miss O'Connor, a nationally ranked fencer and a past01ympian(1964Japan), gave demonstrations on all levels of fencing and discussed such topics as electric fencing, teaching the beginner, varsity drills and strategy, and advanced techniques. Miss Pat Flynn, New York City, assisted with the clinic. Sessions with private lessons was also a part of the clinic. Attending with Miss Bush were Robin Fekety, returning from last

When It Rains, It Pours Letters (Continued from Page 2) this psychopathic case in the White House now. Mr. Nixon shouldn't have been allowed to go on TV with that "childish checker's" game - for it influenced the majority of people. I like to think of what the London Times said of the late Adlai Stevenson"At home he kept the light of intellect burning through a period when it was not fashionable to think." The way we are going now I doubt if we should have won our Independence! Our minds seem to be in a mire of pollution. Here we have a former Professor of History, a Ph.D., highly cultured and a decent Christian gentleman running for President against a rank opportunist, strictly partisan who is noted for his reversals. Mr. Nixon is surrounded by mediocrityMr. Rogers is the only gentleman in his Cabinet, and he is resigning. Mr. McGovern has promised outstanding people with Mr. Wilbur Mills as Sec. of Treasury. Mr. Nixon purposely made the busing issue last year a political football to entrap the South. As Mr. Wallace said so many times that Mr. Nixon was talking out of every side of his mouth — then suddenly Wallace was paid off (you know the sto.y) that was before he was shot. I want this horrible war endedit is immoral and unholy. We shall never be able to make restitution. Mr. Nixon has no idea of closing the war, he is too intrigued with Thieu, and he wants a military victory. The French learned years ago that this is impossible. "There is no liberty to men where passions are stronger than their religious feelings; there is no liberty to men in whom ignarance predominates over knowledge; there is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves." Ever since the mock election at Longwood College this has been on my conscience. Sincerely, Nancy Howie Booker
Yearbooks To the Editor: There is something awry in Longwood somewhere. On January 7, 1971, I Innocently ordered and paid for (in full - $6.50) a 1971 (my graduating class) VIRGINIAN. Granted, I have moved twice since I placed that ancient order but my yearbook was never delivered to either of my previous addresses. Having gone to and graduated from Longwood, I am used to foul-ups and waiting and waiting for things but now I would appreciate someone sending either a yearbook or a refund to my present address. Thank you, (I hope) Donna L. Wadsworth P.S. I can still produce a bona fide receipt.
Plagiarism Term paper time is approaching fast. To avoid plagiarism, please refer to the following pointers: 1 - Start your term paper well in advance of the due date. Many plagiarized papers were the result of a last minute rush to get a paper done. This may result in mistakes in footnoting or an "I don't care - I just want to finish" attitude. If you can not have your paper done on time, arrange a conference with your
campuses and of state, national and international occurrences. How then would you classify this article? Certainly it would not be placed under the mentioned categories. How then does the term "filler" strike you? Mary Lou Glasheen is a wellknown and apparently responsible member of our college community. Yet this gives no one the right to mark her sister Suzie as a special individual whom everyone should recognize. This includes the management and personnel of Nottingham Inn. The rule of the establishment is for everyone to present an identification card upon entering. But Susie is an exception because her last name is Glasheen and Mary Lou is her sister. We say let Susie earn her own title so she may be known as Susie Glasheen, not Mary Lou's sister. We want it to be known that we Mr. Horne hold no grudge against either of Editor: the Glasheen sisters, only against Controversy can be stimulating the injustices this article porand I am sure the concepts of trays to every student on this limited government and free en- campus.

Glasheen Story We failed to see the purpose of having the article, "So Far Suzie's The One Without The Title," included in the ROTUNDA. Perhaps the reason was beyond our level of intelligence and if the author could explain the point she wished to express in writing the article, we might possibly be persuaded to see things her way. In our opinion, the ROTUNDA exists to inform the students of important events and issues which take place on this and other
ever, the humor of the Glasheen story was in the fact that they are often mistaken for each other because of their physical similarity. However, the rest of the student body appears to have missed the humor and interpreted the story as a promotion campaign for Susie. This was probably due to the unfortunate choice of a headline and captions for the pictures, which, as editor, I accept full blame for. I must admit though that I am rather surprised to And that so many students would be so
petty as to believe that the ROTUNDA would promote anyone on the basis of a relative's accomplishments. I feel I must extend a sincere apology to both of the Glasheen sisters for any embarrassment that the article has caused them. The story certainly had a different effect than was intended. However, this does not mean that the ROTUNDA will cease to run such stories. Anytime I And a light humorous story, it will be printed. I can only hope the student body will be more receptive. LP
Personal Attack Dear Editor, After having read the latest ROTUNDA and the article on the Glasheen sisters, I felt a little injustice had been done. A little injustice to the many series of sisters on the Longwood campus that have made a place for themselves and never received a write-up like the one I just read. Just for an example, perhaps you remember the Umbdenstock sisters, Elinor, Carol and Cathy. All of them were standouts on campus and they didn't get the recognition that Suzie, Mary Lou and Betty Ann received. Perhaps it's because they weren't the most "beautiful" individuals that the Glasheens are claimed to be. I just want to say that there are many sisters on campus that deserve the article space. Perhaps Suzie wouldn't run into so much hassel if everyone didn't know who's sister she was and could find her own "title" on her own! I would prefer not to give my name. I hope this is suitable for publication. Asst. Editor's Note: I feel a reply to the above letter is necessary and as writer of the Susie and Mary Lou Glasheen story, I would like to answer it. The Letters to the Editor column is printed every week as a means by which students, faculty, and others can express their opinions. The column does not function however, as an outlet to express personal opinions on others, as I feel the above letter is doing - which is one of the reasons the ROTUNDA requests letters to be signed. Because Mary Lou Glasheen is a well known figure on campus who has a younger look alike sister and because there had been much confusion in getting the two mixed up, the article was chosen as a "brite" (interest story),
not as a means to make it easier for the younger sister to find a "title." Perhaps the title of the story swayed its purpose in the wrong direction. In writing the story, I chose only the incidents that referred to them looking alike and tried to use a light style to make it funny. If the article was in poor taste because it didn't include all sisters on campus now and in past years, I can only justify it by saying it was not written as intentional publicity for one pair of sisters. The example that you gave of the Umdenstock sisters is a bit belated for the present editor's choice of stories cannot be dictated by a previous editor's standards. SIGNED: Pam Watson

Dracula Not A Vampire", According To Dr. Fhorescu By BARBER A RADFORD "Dracula wasn't a vampire at all," declared Professor Radu Florescu, Wednesday night. The Commons Room was crowded as Dr. Florescu began to lecture on his latest research project, which he reports on in his book, IN SEARCH OF DRACULA (McNally and Florescu, New York Graphic Society, Ltd. Greenwich, Connecticut.) Professor Florescu claimed that Dracula has been gravely misrepresented since Bram Stoker published his novel, DRACULA. The real Dracula was a midevil Romanian prince, not the Victorian English gentleman of Stoker's tale. Known as "the impaler," Prince Dracula committed many atrocities, killing up to 100,000 people in six years. In Romania, however, the prince is a national hero because he helped fortify the country against Turkish invasion. He was cruel, but most of his crimes were justifiable by RAISON D'ETAT. Dr. Florescu explained that the Oriental imagination is such that the tales of Dracula's atrocities frightened them as much as the crimes themselves. The professor said tales of Dracula were found in Russia and Germany's early folklore, probably carried through marks by
word of mouth. These stories were the only forms of early fiction, and were probably considerably embellished, but Dracula's vampirism was not invented until Brian Stoker's time. The legend of vampirism could have sprung from either of two Romanian traditions. When a man renounced Orthodoxy for Catholicism, the peasants assumed the man became a vampire; Dracula renounced his religion in order to marry a Roman Catholic Princess. Vampirisam is also practiced in Romanian today. Dr. Florescu said there is no evidence though that Dracula drank blood. Professor Radu Florescu was born in Bucharest, Romania, a descendant of aboyar noble family, that can be traced to the time of Prince Dracula. Dr. Florescu recieved his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Oxford University as a British Council Scholar. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Indiana. With Raymond A. McNally, Dr. Florescu has investigated Prince Dracula for several years. In addition to their previously mentioned book, a film starring Christopher Lee, tells the dramatic story of Dracula. An expert on Romanian and East European History, Dr. Florescu teaches at Boston College in Massachusetts.

Students For Community Service Present Program By CHRIS YATES The Students for Community Services had a general interest meeting in Lankford Building on October 19, where program plans of the organization for the 197273 year were presented by the coordinators in charge of tutoring, recreation, clothing closet and housing projects. Tutoring coordinators Lance Van de Castle, Moogie Terrell and Mary Berlin announced the beginning of tutoring and enrichment programs in the Mary Branch Elementary School in Farmville at the corner of Ely Street and Route 15. Those students interested in tutoring will be matched with the children needing help by Mrs. Mary Venable, principal of the school. Mrs. Venable was also very interested in starting an enrichment program of extracurricular activities for the students such as chess, and athletic skills. Those interested in tutoring or an enrichment program were told to contact Lance. The recreation program organized by Jack Fentress, Wendy Burkhardt and "Bam Bam" Jeffers will get under way with the basketball free-play period in Iler Gym at Longwood, from 9-12 on Saturday mornings. Until more gym space becomes available this program will be limited to boys 10-14 years old. Games will be organized and fundamental skills will be taught. Also planned is an expanded sports program to include football, tennis and soccer, and an arts and crafts class.

Those interested in any of these programs were asked to contact Jack, Bam Bam, or Wendy. The clothing closet, under the direction of Dee Dee Alexander and Sara Fredrick, will go into operation this week. The clothes now in the Clothing Closet were donated by the Clothing closet of Hampden - Sydney's College Church, which is run by a committee of women from the church and located in Dr. Ronald Heinemann's house. The closet will be open approximately eight hours a week and will be staffed and run entirely by the Students for Community Services. The new location for the closet will be the old elementary school across the street from the campus school on Main Street. Anyone who would like to work or would like to donate clothing may contact Dee Dee or Sara. The housing program, under Robin Hill and Don Cochran, will be underway as soon as materials can be obtained.
Survey On Food Preferences Being Taken On Thursday By BARBERA RADFORD A recent question in the Catalyst asked what happened to the food survey taken in the dining hall last year. Slater processed the forms but only 36 per cent of the students participated. Again the survey is being taken, Thursday November 2. Hamburgers will be served at lunch that day, and Mr. Joseph Carbone, manager of the ARA services, said if necessary to get full participation he would open every table in the dining hall for that meal. "We'd like to get as many students opinions as possible". The only requests Mr. Carbone made were that the students fill out the forms with pencil, that will be provided; that the students write only in the spaces provided and put all comments at the bottom of the form.
By JANET LYNN TENNYSON Residence Board has set penalties for infractions of the new self regulatory curfew system. Any girl who returns after 6 a.m. and has not signed out for an overnight, will have the self regulatory curfew privilege revoked for the remainder of the semester. If a girl fails to sign out properly, she should be penalized by having her self regulatory curfew privilege taken away for the remainder of the semester. If a girl does not take her duty after she has signed up to serve a shift, she will be called to appear before Residence Board and be tried. "We wanted to set a penality for the violations of the curfew so that the dorm councils can meet and discuss these", said Terry Jones, chairman of Residence Board. "There should be one set penality for each violation," commented Denise Morris, who is vice chairman of the board. "It would take too much time for Residence Board to listen to each violation", said Terry, "even though we have a cut and dried policy, all cases may be appealed if the girl involved is not satisfied".
Student Union Plans Raspberries Concert On December 1st By SANDY WALTERS Are you worried about registration for second semester? The big event will take place on Saturday, December 2, in Lankford.

It will be held in Jarman auditorium and will also feature a second act. The Raspberries have a current hit entitled "Please Go All The Way". The price of tickets has not been decided as yet, but will be announced at a later date. There will be a dance on Saturday night from 9 p.m. - 1 a.m. It will be held in the Gold ^oom which will make it necessary to limit the number of people attending. The decorations will be of a Christmas nature and refreshments will be provided by the Student Union. There is a possibility of eggnog and other Christmas favors being served. Immediately after the dance there will be a pancake breakfast served. The price will be approximately 60<?-65<? per person. Lankford will remain open on Saturday night until 4 a.m. in accordance with the activities being held. Tickets will be sold in advance because of the necessity of limiting the attendance at the dance, only 250 couples' tickets will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.

Professors Of Social Science Publish Articles In Magazines By BETSY NUTTER Several of Longwood's professors in the Social Science Department have had articles published in various magazines. Recently Mr. Richard T. Couture wrote an article in the GOOCHLAND COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY MAGAZINE for the autumn issue of 1972. Mr. Walter E. Martin, Jr. printed an article in the NORTH CAROLINA EDUCATION JOURNAL in the October, 1972 issue. "Boiling Island" is the subject of Mr. Couture's article. This island is located near the north-
ern bank in the James River. Mr. Couture did an indepth study of the history of the island, its owners, and residents. Much of the article concerns events in the house on Boiling Island which was built in 1771. And now belongs to Mr. Couture. Mr. Martin's article is on "The Low Status of Geography in Our Schools." Mr. Martin reaches the conclusion that status of geography in our schools is mediocre at best, and he offers suggestions for improvement in the high school systems.
L.C. Seniors To Take Federal Service Entrance Examination DUST AND ASHES
"Dust And Ashes" To Appear At Wesley Center On November 8 By JANET LYNN TENNYSON "Dust and Ashes" will be performing at the Wesley Foundation Coffee House on November 8. Beginning at 7:30 p.m., the concert will take place at the Wesley Center. Since 1968, Dust and Ashes have been traveling full time witi their style of music ministry. The duo consists of Tom Page and Jim Sloan who now reside in Nashville, Tennessee. "We feel there is a need to recognize God's truth as it appears in places where it may be disregarded," commented the duo," and some of these places are the lyric of contemporary pop composers like Bob Dylan and Paul Simon." Page is a United Methodist minister, attended Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D. C. and was ordained in 1968. He has a long history of music, having started singing with his father who sang professionally. Sloan served two years as a
correspondent with the U.S. Army in Vietnam, using his skill as a journalist. His creative style of writing has led through newspaper and magazine editing. Dust and Ashes currently have two albums entitled "From Both Sides" and "A Different Shade of Blue". Dust and Ashes were staff members of the United Methodist Board of Evangelism for two years but now operate independently. The experience the two have had composing, singing and performing has helped them achieve a rapport that enables their music to speak with authority and purpose. And that purpose for the past four years has been to allow the uniqueness of their music to speak prophetically and realistically of the relationship between God and man. Students who attend the performance, are asked to bring blankets and pillows. The dress is also informal and everyone is invited to the Free affair.

More than 3,500 men and women competed in these tests with more than 60% attaining an eligible rating. The FSEE was designed speci-
fically for college students. One test can qualify a person for approximately 60 different career fields in many Federal agencies at locations all over the country. Open to seniors and graduates in any academic major, the program is appropriate for students in all curricula except Engineering, Physical Sciences, Accounting and a limited number of other technical fields.
75th Anniversary Commemorated By Kappa Delta Sisters By MARLENE OLIVER A brief ceremony was held on October 23 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Kappa Delta Sorority which was founded here at Longwood on October 23, 1897.
