Curriculum Committee Needs Feedback From Students By MAUREEN HANLEY Longwood, over the past few years, has progressed through a wide variety of changes, not only in their traditions, rules,

VOL. LI

standards, but also their curriculum. What once was basically a teacher's college has now widened its barriers to include other occupational

selections. In order to study this expanding field, a curriculum committee has been established. The main purpose of this committee is "to study the general education requirements for the B.S. and B. A. degrees for the nonteaching preparatory candidate," stated Dr. Sprague, who is head of the committee. This includes only nonteaching majors because, according to Dr. Sprague, "nothing can be done at present about the teaching requirements because they are state set." This committee, which is six years old, was turned into a purpose committee four years ago, and just recently reorganized as a curriculum committee when the need for change was realized. At present "the committee is trying to formulate some distinction between the two degrees," stated Dr. Sprague, "because now they appear very similiar." She also said that the committee has a December 1 deadline to present a proposal to the policy and faculty committees stating any changes that they have formulated. Before this proposal is presented,

a mutual agreement must be reached on what the committee members feel the general education subjects should be. Right now, the traditional purpose of the general education requirements that all students are supposed to fulfill, are to acquaint the students with the four great academic disciplines These consist of the humanities, history and social science, mathematics and science, and philosophy The curriculum committee members, who were appointed by the dean of the college, consists of four students and eleven faculty members. "The members of the faculty who are serving on the committee, requested to be placed on the committee and are very interested in what is going on," commented Dr. Sprague. The four students who signed up and were selected to serve on the committee are Judith Moffitt, Carolyn Henshaw, Gay Harrington, and Dean Davis. These students are very important because "the main portion of this committee is centered around the students and the members are very interested in student input," said Dr. Sprague.

The student members also feel the need for the committee and student participation, for as Judith Moffitt. one of the student members stated. there- is a definite need for this committee, for there should be a separation between the teaching and the nonteaching majors." She al said that "there should more general .specific education requirements and that some of these courses should be required for the student to fulfill before graduation. She feels these requirements are necessary because "you need some of Muse courses to be considered educated." When the question of obtaining a general education as opposed to a specialized education was asked, Ms. Moffitt stated that she "can realize now, as a junior, how important and needed the general education requirements are because as you begin to take more of your major courses, you can understand how they relate to each other.,"' Judith also urges that "all students get involved with a committee; because when something goes wrong they have the right to complain.

LONGWOOD COLLEGE, FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1975

L.C. Attends Area Conference- Various Topics Discussed On October 1, Longwood representatives attended the Peaks of Otter Conference for Area Student leaders and Deans. This was the first year which Longwood has been asked to attend this annual conference, and the representatives were Dr. Heintz, Dean of Students; Rachel Jolly, chairman of Judical Board; Beth Rafferty, editor of the ROTUNDA; and Sue Scarborough, chairman of Legislative Board. The other colleges that were participants are both public and private institutions. These colleges were: Hampden-Sydney, Hollins College, Lynchburg College, Madison, Mary Baldwin, Radford, Randolph-Macon Women's College, Roanoke College, Sweet Briar, Virginia Military Institute, and Washington and Lee The conference opened with student government chairmen from each college presenting a short summary on such topics as change within their institution, areas of concern, and new policies implemented. Hampdsn-Sydney's president mentioned the fact that their SGA is attempting to gain more student representatives on their council. Mary Baldwin's president stated that improving communication was their main theme. Attempting to gain student representation of their Board of Visitors was mentioned by Radford, which Roanoke College has. Another major area of concern during this session besides

communication and increased student representation, was possible revisions of academic programs, which was first suggested by Randolph-Macon and Sweet Briar. Many of the private schools in attendance, such as Hollins, Lynchburg and Hampden-Sydney, who have very loose General Education requirements felt that possibly these requirements should be more stringent. Reasons for this is the fact, that in may of these schools, students take, for example twelve hours out of twenty possible hours of General Education requirements, and these students do not take the subjects that they are less capable at. This causes many students to be deficient in various areas. It also presents a problem when these students take medical boards, law boards, and graduate school exams, because their deficiency is reflected in their scores. Mary Baldwin stated that their college's policy was, if a professor felt that a student, who at the end of the semester should receive a D or an F, would progress in this subject if she was awarded more time, has the right to grant her this extended time to bring up her grade. This, in effect, is the same as receiving an incomplete. Many of the colleges in attendance, are experiencing growth in both student numbers and actual buildings. Madison has christened two new buildings this year, Mary Baldwin has a new student center opening, and

Washington and Lee and Randolph-Macon also have new buildings. Virginia Military Institute mentioned possible renovation of their barracks. Participation in Student Government was another topic of conversation. In working towards a more effective student government, Hollins believes that their program works, whereby students engage in a workshop dealing with such skills as problem solving and decision skill are taught. Madison seems

to have one advantage, in that their SG A chairman is paid $1,000 a year and they also have leadership training in the form of workshops. Mary Baldwin has a system where one hour a week during the day is set aside specifically for SGA meetings and no other organization or class convenes during this time. When all the college representatives were :ÂŤsked if students support and attend SGA functions at their schools, only Longwood and

Mary Baldwin answered affirmatively. Another area discussed was possible solutions to the patting of bad checks by students, which was of interest to Sue Scarborough since legislative Board lias established an Ad Hoc Committee to study the problem and more possible recommendations for remedies. Lynchburg has a system dealing with bad checks where the college does not back the (Continued on Page 3)

Legislative Bd. Recommends Increased Representation- Needs Student Approval By ANITA RIVARD A change in Legislative Board policy with respect to representation may occur in the near future, with the approval of the student body. After discussion at recent meetings, legislative Board has proposed that class representation on that board be increased from two representatives per class to four representatives for each of the four classes, or a total of sixteen class representatives. The exis*'ng system of two representatives per class is set forth in the constitution of the Student Government Association. Any attempt to change the constitution must be approved by two-thirds of the student body voting. According to Sue

Scarborough, chairman of legislative Board, the proposed change will be presented to the student body for ratification during major-minor elections in December. The board members, during recent discussions, voiced the hope that an increase in class representation would better serve the student body as a whole. According to Elaine Snead, corresponding secretary of legislative Board, "Twen'y people is a better representation than twelve." Elaine added that this would provide for "more contact with the student body." General student opinions seem to favor more representation for students by increasing the size of the voting body of legislative Board. Sophomore Debbie

Adams said, "I think it's better with four than with two because four representatives can gather opinions from the whole class a lot easier." Juniors Jan Miller and Kathy Arthur were both in favor of the proposed change. "I think it's a good idea because you'll get more involvement from the student body and different views will be expressed," Jan said. Kathy added, "The more minds you have working, the more input and ideas." Hennie Bruno, a sophomore, believes that an increase in student representation on legislative Board would be a good idea because "it would be more of a cross-section of the student body."

YWCA To the Editor: I would like to express my feelings on the disbanding of the YWCA on this campus. I feel that the "Y" has outlived and neglected to fulfill its purpose

and that a new religious organization is needed to replace it. It is my hope that a group will be formed similiar to the InterReligious Council at HampdenSydney, with representatives from religious groups on campus, campus ministers and other

students interested in the religious aspects of college life. I would like to encourage everyone to let their opinion on this matter be known. Sincerely, Wendy Blackwell

Even Academics

Of Stolen Book Epidemic Raises No Response It is amazing the way students at this college sit back and let "things fall where they may." For those students who spend their precious time in front of the TV. watching soap operas, or making their nightly trip to the beer and pretzel inn, Ahe one area which should arouse a response from them is academics but even this fails to do so. Those students are the first to say that their classes are boring, that they hate their General Education Requirements, and these requirements are the reasons why their cumulative average is so low; but those students are the last to turn their complaints into constructive action by bringing them to the Curriculum Committee.

By ELLEN CASSADA The change in library hours has been a major topic recently. Various students are complaining that the shorter hours seem unreasonable. I agree. There are many week ends when students remain on campus primarily to do research and readings in the library. These week ends provide a good opportunity to obtain reserved materials and books as the majority of students are away from campus. This semester, however, the situation is different. Four hours on Saturday is hardly enough to get very far on a project, and Sunday nights are usually reserved for telling experiences of the past week end. So, we have essentially gone from a week end in the library to four hours. Most students are quick to blame the librarians and the administration for the reduction in hours, but I give most of the credit to students. Yes, students. Statistics are unbelievably high concerning the percentage of books not checked out or returned. This is absolutely

ridiculous. College age individuals should be mature enough to respect property provided for use by the entire student body, and the rights of others to use this property. Misuse and theft of library materials has resulted in money appropriated to the library to be spent in replacing books, rather than in purchasing new ones or expanding the hours. This defeats the purpose of a college libiary — when students must search for books that are often out dated, but more often not even in the library. Then students and librarians must waste valuable time trying to find a book someone thoughtlessly ripped off. What is the pleasure of taking materials that belong to the school? This might be understandable in a nursery school before children learn that everything they see is not theirs to keep. Most college students know this. The honor code at Ixmgwood, so highly respected and for good reason, is based on this knowledge. When the librarians and the administration agree to give students the

privilege of coming and going as we please and of using whatever materials we find, with the sole stipulation that they are checked out, why be so stupid as to end this privilege? There are no fines for overdue books; they can be kept out as long as needed, unless called in. Nevertheless, a Longwood minority has cost the majority time and money. It's a wonder we're not ciiecked as we go in and out to make sure we have obeyed the rules. But whoever heard of people checking our possessions at a college? That would be an infringement of our rights, right? Sure, but if people cannot respect the materials, it is an alternative to losing books. I'd rather have my books checked than have to spend half an hour trying to find a book that no longer exists. Back to the hours. There must be a solution. Hopefully, I»ngwood won't have to return the 5 per cent fee to HEW, and some of the library appropriations can be used to extend the hours. It's a bad situation that no one is happy with, but don't blame the administration. Mrs. LeStourgeon would probably agree lo have the library open twenty-four hours a day if there was money and staff to do it with, and if students would use it. Students will probably be a prime factor in deciding new hours if they come to be. However, it should be considered that because "x" number of students use the library on a particular day or night, subsequent nights could see a larger — or smaller — turnout. Week ends are the only major times to do research. Weekdays are too filled with regular assignments and meetings to (Continued on Page 4)

Traditions To Become Realistic With Co-Education By ELLEN CASSADA Once coeducation comes to Long wood, what will happen to the gentle voice of "Joan of Arc that's leading us to purity," and to from "sister class to sister class," and to "green and white sisters," and to "all hail, Alma Mater, Dear Mother, to thee; Thy daughters true?" A quick survey reveals that most songs contain phrases of sisterhood and greens and reds. Will male logwood College students keep up the traditions? Whoever decides to come will more than likely not care for singing "sisterhood is one for all and sisterhood is for you and me." What will become of tradition? Will there be a co-ed Chi? It'll be a nice change to have actual ushers for Oktoberfest. Will Joan of Arc remain our patron saint? And what of Mary Margaret Truman? How about senior capping and junior ring ceremony and Colleagues and freshman pinning and orientation leaders and student assistants? Can you picture the reactions of parents who are moving in their daughters when a guy in a white and blue smock comes up and offers his assistance? Will we ever "look de» p in the heart of every Longwood girl" again, or will "friendship, love and

tradition. . .fill our eyes with tears" any more? These are perhaps trivial matters, but the songs that are so much a part of Longwood are also primarily feminine, and will have to be revised once coeducation has come. What is a co-ed word for sisterhood? Personhood? Will blue and white and red and white and green and white be replaced? And will tradition remain a vital part of the activities? Will there still be a freshman commission to decorate the Christmas tree? What about fraternities? And Greek Week in cooperation with Hampden-Sydney. Will longwood have its own football, basketball, baseball, wrestling and track teams, with cheerleaders. A big question in many minds deals with leadership. The recent open house changes that were worked for so long and diligently — will they change? Will ideas of proposed changes for the future be disregarded, or totally revised, or put into effect immediately. At an all girls school, it is fairly easy to voice an opinion — those few who do. There is every opportunity to speak out and become a part of the leadership. Once Longwood goes co-ed, will girls take a back seat to involvement? Hopefully

not, but is is a possibility. Another possibility is the gradual fading away of the spirit and class songs, and of the outward signs of Chi and red and green competition. This probably is inevitable. As each new freshman class arrives, girls and guys both, there seems to be less interest in the open traditions of sisterhood and green and red spirit. The feeling is still there — that is evident with the participation in pinning, ring ceremony, and capping. But the idea of best friends competing against one another because one is green and one is red, and "never the twain shall meet," is beginning to lose its importance. Coeducation shouldn't change the traditions, but perhaps the emphasis will be different. Ijongwood is tradition, and it is a drawing card for those who consider attending. Classes are traditionally small and more personal than at a large university. Enrollment is traditionally smaller than many colleges, and students have opportunities to become good friends with those from different backgrounds and interests. Oktoberfest is a tradition, but it is changing already. This year should see more of a German holiday than a time when reds

and greens strive to win the competitions. Joan of Arc is a tradition. Chi is a tradition that is becoming better adapted to the times. With or without coeducation, there will probably be less walks in the middle of the night, and less "freakiness" associated with the members. The tradition should remain. The goal of promoting honor and high ideals is a tradition that should remain. Too many places have no honor code as such, and even though the one at I/mgwood is

misused a lot, it remains nonetheless. Coeducation will require hmgwood to adjust to the times. Traditions will always be a major part, and blue and white spirit will become a part of those who venture to become involved. Stints and competitions, though, will have to get away from colors and classes and become more realistic. Tradition is good. Preoccupation with green or red is not. Hopefully coeducation will give I/mgwood a look into reality.

Seven Member Executive Committee's Goals- Oversee Thomas Sully Gallery Farmville, Va., September 19, 1975 — Ix>ngwood College has announced the appointment of a seven-member Executive Committee to oversee all activities relating to the development of the Thomas Sully Museum-Gallery and the expansion of the permanent collection of Sully works for the future gallery. Members of the committee, appointed by the college's board of visitors, are: Barbara Bishop, chairman of the art department at Longwood; Robert G. Whitton, Alexandria stockbroker and member of the Longwood Foundaton board of directors; Dr. William J. Peele, vice president for administration at Longwood; Dr. Duvahl RidgwayHull, Roanoke obstetriciangynecologist, I^ongwood alumna and former member of the board of visitors; William K. Whidden, vice president of Andrews, Large

and Whidden construction firm in Farmville; Dr. William L. Frank, chairman of the English department at Longwood; and Dr. Henry I. Willett, Jr., president of the college. The Executive Committee is charged with the organization of future fund raising efforts for the gallery, approving accessions to the gallery collection, organizing membership and activities of the Friends of the Thomas Sully Gallery, approving gallery construction plans and proposals made by architectural consultants, developing a public information program, and approving general expenditures of the Sully funds held by the IiOngwood Foundation. In addition, the committee has been given authority to appoint additional committees and advisory groups as necessary. All actions of the committee are subject to approval by the

college's board of visitors. The Thomas Sully Museum Gallery program was initiated in 1971 when Ixmgwood and the longwood Foundation accepted a cash gift of $30,000 and six art objects relating to Thomas Sully from Mrs. Jeanne Sully West of Buckingham County and New Orleans. Since that time, the department of art and the Foundation have sponsored fund raising programs, including the annual Sully Dinner, to raise additional funds for the construction and operation of the future gallery. Patrons contributing $100 or more have become members of the Friends of the Thomas Sully Gallery. Mrs. West has continued to support the program with several generous gifts. A major exhibit of works by Thomas Sully was held in the Bedford Gallery at Longwood during March and April of 1973, and a Sully painting was purchased in 1974 for the permanent collection of the gallery. Thomas Sully was a leading 19th century American portrait painter. Among the more than 2,500 Sully paintings on record are portraits of Andrew Jackson, George Washington, Queen Victoria, James K. Polk, Thomas Jefferson, and many other leading citizens of his day. Sully's professional career lasted over 70 years.

"Beggar's Opera" Brings 18th Century To L.C. BH "Men were born to lie, and women to believe them.-' Such was the case seen Wednesday through Saturday in .Jarman Auditorium during the production Of The Beggar's Opera, presented by the Longwood College Players, the Hampden-Sydney Jongleurs, and the departments of Speech and Drama and Music. The play, written by John (Jay in 1727, was originally a satire on the Italian operas produced before that lime. Gay, also unhappy with the heirarchy in England, makes use of the Koudon underworld types as an attack in the political system and its influence in corrupting the business world. The play begins with Mr. Peachum, portrayed by Ron Keiloch, a receiver of stolen goods who, in turn, sells them to the unsuspecting public. Ron, a freshman ai Hampden-Sydney, was convincing in his role; however, he tended to swallow his words and was not understandable al times, as was the case with the entire cast.

unfortunately so. Ron, howe came through in his hilarious scene with Mr. Lockitt after fighting over the honor of the two gentlemen. "We have the power to hand each other, you know7" Don Reid, a veteran of the .Jarman stage, performed outstandingly in his portrayal of Mr. Lockitt, the warden of the local prison. One wonders how Don kept the inflexions in his voices changing between the low baritone and his beautiful falsetto. However, he kept the audience in stitches and in this reviewer's mind, it was the highlight of the evening. The most outstanding performance was given by Rick Vaughan, the rougish, goodlooking, and terribly scandalous Macheath. While married to six women, Macheath tries desperately to keep each separate while claiming at the same time, "I love the sex." Hick's voice was clear, even in his highest tenor range, his diction was perfect, and seemed at all times in control of his every

movement. His best scene was his solo after being arrested for the second time, was sentenced to prison, and was awaiting his execution. I might add at this point, that the light crew should be commended for their special effects during this scene. The lights were a definite contributing factor to the effectiveness of the mood. As for the women; Carole Scott, the female lead as Miss Polly Peachum, the sweet, but not-so-innocent, portrayed her difficult character admirably. Her soprano voice was a delight to all. However, Carole tended to over-act in many scenes when simplicity was called for. Diann Quinn as Lye Ixickitt, Polly's rival, was excellent at all times when she was on the stage. The audience rolled in the aisles and her best scene, "Madame," was when arguing with Polly over Macheath, "Madame!" The chorus for this production was an asset. The men's chorus, especially were fantastic. Their drinking song was a memorable

Rascal gets caught in Beggar's Opera his words rolled out forcefully and understandably. As Reid portrayed the perfect father to Lucy, Keiloch was the ideal patriarch to Polly. All four were perfectly cast by Dr. Patton Lockwood of the Longwood drama department. Polly, played by Carol Scott, was Shakespeares' Rosalind, cunning yet kind, beguiling yet beautiful. She moved gracefully, never faltering, and continually refused "strong waters" from her chief rival for Macheath's hand, Lucy. Lucy was the shrew, Shakespeare's Katherine. Her nagging, unrelentless flurry of words at Macheath left this ret icwer chuckling at his own misfortunes with the fairer sex. Diane Quinn gave us a very good Lucy at her best when argueing or tempting Polly. Earlier someone of the woman's chorus said. "To cheat a man is nothing, but a woman must have fine parts to cheat a woman." Time has proved this adage true and Diane Quinn makes it real on stage. I particularly liked the usually unnoticed aspects of such a theatrical production. The set, designed by Lockwood and constructed by Bill Atkinson, was effective if only because of its stark off-yellow background to the players bright reds, blues, pinks and purples. Lockwood again used projections, though few to the show's advantage. Dr. James McCray's musicians were good at authenticating the production with ample use of harpsichord, flutes, French horn, and clarinets. Sometimes cues were a bit off but understandably so since it was final dress rehearsal.

By A. CAKTKK MAGEE, JR. "'Was there ever such an unfortunate rascal as I am." So says Captain Macheath, the rapscallious leader of a hungry greedy band of "beggars," in the Longwood Players and Hampden-Sydney .Jongleurs production of The Beggar's Opera. Rick Vaughan, as Macheath, is a veteran of Jarman stage as well as Washington D.C. area stages. He is cast in the lead role and his well- luned voice occasionally bursts into song, much to the delight of the audience. Although l Ins reviewer thinks that Vaughan's performance as Peer (Jynl was his highlight on stage i.i role which landed linn the l!)7l Besl Actor award), he pulls off Macheath admirably. This typical period piece was written by John Cay and performed in London for a record-breaking sixty day run in 1727 and 1728. The Beggar's Opera, full of realism and r anee, is a satire on three ills: ilie Italian opera, which had so degraded itself by the 1700's that John Gay's play all but drove the foreign art form out of England by 1750; a society trying to restore itself but failing; finally, it is a sarcastic attack on the business world, also corrupted by political system in England and the underlying problem as many people viewed it. Prune Minister Walpole. Perhaps the outstanding performance of the night by an actor was turned in by Don Reid of Hampden-Sydney. Somehow he managed to contort his six foot eight inch frame into a position one would expect Dickens' Scrooge to adopt.

It was rolicking yet seriously satirical. Traipse was taken the foolish woman, but in her position she realized that "IÂťve is so very whimsical in both sex. >." The host of ac ~s and actresses who made up each chorus were well directed and instrumental in keeping the action moving. B.

Despite a few problems in comprehending old English dialogue, Dr. Lockwood, director of the show, should be congratulated and thanked for

Rebecca Hall Awarded Scholarship This past summer, Rebecca Hall, a 1971 Longwood graduate, was the first to be awarded a scholarship by the Alumni Association. The scholarship is primarily for summer graduate work here at Longwood. Ability and a desire for education are the main requirements for eligibility for the scholarship. The amount of the scholarship varies, but the average is approximately $350.00. Applications for the scholarship must be filed by May 15th. However, if no graduate applies by this date, the scholarship is then opened to undergraduates.

Commentary (Continued from Page 2) worry much about semester projects. With the hours as they are now, however, many students are al a real loss as to when there will be time to do outside work. A major effort will have to be made in order to use the library during the few hours that it is open, and hopefully the very near future will see things back to the usual times. The library, even with its shortcomings, is kept maintained for our convenience, not for our destruction. Remember that the next time you don't want to take out two minutes to fill out a card and check the book out. Remember also, how you hate to search for a book and not find it, especially when the book is a necessity to complete a project properly. Finally, remember to use the library when it is open, and let people know that you need longer hours. Students can do a lot in obtaining longer hours or having them cut even more. For a change, longwood, don't be apathetic. Your opinion does matter. Voice It. Now.

Oktoberfest Two Days

Away- Plans Finalized OKTOBERFEST 75 is filled with many surprises this year and the latest one will be seen this Friday night. Geist is sponsoring a beer and pretzel party in the A.B.C. Rooms of I>ankford from 9:30 until 12:00. Slater will be providing the pretzels, free of charge, coke and beer will be sold at 15 cents and 35 cents respectively. The purpose of this party came about because of the lack of things to do on campus after the skits on Friday night. The party is opened to all students and their guests and Geist hopes that everyone will take advantage of this opportunity. With all that has been said about this coming week end, there are still a few more tidbits of news. The parents meeting scheduled for 10:00 in the A.B.C. Rooms has been changed to Jarman's Auditorium due to the increasing number of parents expected. The Midway will consist of 42 booths including the Information Booth and thev will range from games, craft items to food and drinks. The judges for the booths are: Ms. Dollins, Ms. Graves, Mrs. Dowdy, Mr. Corriher, and Mr. Alexick. The winner of the booth will receive $25.00 plus 25 points towards the color cup. They will be judging on: creative

Term Papers Still For Sale In State Of Maryland- Law Overthrown

organization was established in order to promote fellowship and scholarship among male students. According to the Association's constitution, the main purpose of the organization is to encourage male students to become an essential part of Longwood College. Through various cultural, social, and recreational activities provided for the entire students body, the association hopes to fulfill it's purpose. The club also plans to make known the legal rights, opportunities, and responsibilities of male students; both among themselves and the other members of the college. It hopes to encourage future enrollment of male students at Longwood. All students, male or female, are eleigible for membership in the Longwood's Men Association. Meetings are held monthly and are opened to any interested student or faculty member.

By ANTHONY SCHMITZ (CPS) — A company selling research papers in Maryland did its homework well enough to have a state law banning the sale of term papers overthrown in a Maryland Circuit Court this summer. The law — matched by similar statutes in a dozen other states — prohibited anyone from selling assistance in preparing term papers that were required for a college degree. The maximum penalty for violating the law was a $1000 fine or six months in jail. The term paper sale ban was ruled unconstitutional in the court test, with a Circuit Court judge ruling that the law was too broad and didn't require that the seller have knowledge of what the research paper was to be used for. The law, the court ruled, made the seller responsible for whatever use the paper was put to. Harry Raymond, the research salesman, has since left the business but Assistant State's Attorney Wallace Klide has filed an appeal to a higher Maryland court. Kilde claims that a number of research firms still haunt the College Park area near the University of Maryland and he still wants a definitive ruling on the law to rout them out if possible. The Maryland law is similar to statutes in New York, California, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio and a handful of other states which ban the sale of term papers. Two

years ago Boston University made successful use of the Massachusetts law and obtained the names of students using illegal term paper services. Some students using the term paper service were dismissed from school, while others had grades lowered in courses for which they had purchased papers. But advertisements for research assistance can still be found in student newspapers across the country. An unidentified spokesman for Collegiate Research Systems, a California-based research assistance firm, said that the laws are nothing but harassment of businesses that should be protected under the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech. Collegiate Research and other firms run disclaimers in their advertisements stating that they don't offer their products as finished papers, the spokesman said. They "simply provide research" — at $2.75 to $7.50 per page — "and then it's the student's prerogative in deciding how to use it." "You can use or misuse anything, just as you could go to the library and copy out of a textbook for a term paper. But we should be given equal protection under free speech just as a library would," the spokesman claimed. Collegiate Research keeps a file of "a couple thousand" papers and a stable of free-lance writers who do original research

on demand. All of their writers must have a bachelor's degree and most hold a master's degree. Writers are usually given a maximum of one week to finish a ten-page paper. Another California firm advertises "thousands of topics" at $2.75 a page in their l(>0-page catalogue. A Research Assistance advertisement claims then research material "is sold far research assistance only not as a finished academic- product." Although a representative said the firm supplies research work to businesses8S well as students, it has been hurt by association with companies only providing finished term papers to students Because of this, sonic student papers refuse to accept their ads. representatives claimed. The Collegiate Research spokesman claimed thai harassment of research firms has been instituted by pressure from the academic community on politicians. They are "hypocrites," he claimed, "who could care less about the Constitution." They may be morally indignant, he said, but they don't have a legal foot to stand on. In Maryland, State's Attorney Klide said he recognized the freedom of speech issue involved in cases involving research assistance firms, but added that "to write term papers and sell them to someone else is defrauding tne community and the state. What is a degree worth then?" He called the First Amendment rights argument used by research houses "specious" and said that a logical conclusion I it would be to prov le underprivileged students w h money so they could buy pre ired papers and compete \ b wealthier students who uld 1 e professionals.

The Ixmgwood College Hockey Team chalked up another win against Old Dominion University and battled William and Mary to a 2-2 tie. The team left Longwood on Thursday morning to travel to William and Mary to play their second intercollegiate game of the season. During the first half of the game, William and Mary was constantly in Longwood's circle and their offense came up with two goals, while I/ongwood could only come up with one. William and Mary came out playing a system that I>ongwood had not seen before and this created problems for both longwood's offense and defense. During half time, Ms. Hodges was able to explain the system and the I/ongwood team adjusted very well in the second half, longwood's defense was able to hold William and Mary scoreless during the second half, while Terry Voit put one in to account for her second goal of the day. This last goal accounted for the tie. Kim Buchanan scored both goals for William and Mary. The Ixmgwood second team fought Willima and Mary to a 4-1

win. Donna VanDervear scored two and Anne Hunt scored one to give Iiongwood a 3-0 advantage at half time. The Iiongwood defense held the William and Mary offense scoreless during the first half with Cheryl Jenkins clearing three attempted goals. During the second half, William and Mary was able to score once, but Sally Terry cleared three shots for a goal. Ginger Nickolas rushed in and scored Ixnigwood's final goal late in the second half to make the final score 4-1 in favor of longwood. Following the two William and Mary games, the Ixmgwood team proceeded to Virginia Beach, where they spent the night and prepared foi their next opponent which was to be Old Dominion University. On Friday, October 3, the teams next went against ODU at Foreman Field. This game was most definitely Longwood's offenses best game yet. The offense came up with 9 goals to beat ODU by a score of 9-0. Terry Voit was high scorer with 5 goals. Terry Sawyer scored two and Carol Filo put two in for Iiongwood! I»ngwood's offense dominated the game from the very beginning as they attempted

By CYNTHIA CROSSEN (CPS) — Women's groups and lobbies heaved sighs of relief as the final version of the controversial Title IX regulations cleared Congress this summer, but their victory may be shortlived. Although the July 21 deadline for disapproving the Department of Health, Education and Welfare' (HEW) enforcement policies passed without congressional action, bills designed to weaken the original Title IX law are still pending. It took HEW three years to devise enforcement regulations for Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 which banned sex bias in any "educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." Many of the enforcement headaches surrounded the effects of Title IX on intercollegiate athletics, which have traditionally been financed and administered almost exclusively for men. The final, amended version of the enforcement regulations was signed by President Ford late in May and released for congressional action in June. Congress then had 45 days to send the regulations back to HEW if they seemed inconsistent with the original 1972 law. Since Congress failed to take action by July 21, the regulations automatically went into effect. Title IX foes in Congress did their best to prevent some of the regulations from becoming law, especially those relating to intercollegiate athletics and physical education classes. HEW's guidelines require secondary and post-secondary schools receiving any federal funds to offer equal opportunity for women to participate in inter-

collegiate sports, either by organizing separate teams or by allowing women to compete for places on the men's teams. Within the three-year grace period, the 2700 colleges and universities affected by Title IX must integrate all physical education classes except for those in contact sDorts. Several attacks on HEW's enforcement policies took place prior to the July 21 deadline but were beaten back by the l'hbying efforts of several women's groups. Congressional observers called the women's lobbying a classic "saturation" effort, but it took three House votes to defeat the "Casey amendment" which would have barred HEW from requiring an end to sex segregation in physical education classes and university-based honorary or professional fraternities and sororities. Although Congress can no longer disapprove of the HEW regulations, it can still amend the original Title IX legislation. Hep. James G. O'Hara (D-Mich.) introduced a bill early this summer to limit Title IX's jurisdiction over revenueproducing intercollegiate sports and physical education classes because, he said, his constituents were worried about boys and girls sharing locker rooms O'Hara's bill was sent back to committee before the July 21 deadline passed and is subject to Congressional review. Women's groups are also facing a Title IX fight in the Senate. Hearings started this week on Sen. John Tower's (R-TX) sports bill which would protect revenues earned by intercollegiate sports or teams from Title IX's ban on sex discrimination. But the fiercest battle to keep the Title IX regulations strong

and effective is now raging between women's groups and HEW. At the same time HEW sent Ihe final regulations to Congress, it published a new "procedural regulation" in which il proposed to stop investigating individual complaints entirely and instead concent rate its efforts mi pursuing what it calls broad-based "pattern and practice" discrimination. Women's groups and some 53 senators who passed a resolution asking HEW to reconsider this proposal believe this would leave no recourse for women or minorities with discrimination complaints except a legal battle in the courts, which many could not afford. Although HEW's guidelines require schools to set up internal grievance Committees, wanen won't have much faith in a procedure "entirely the creature opf the institution that's beinn charged," according to Holly Knox, director of the Project on Equal Education Rights. Knox said most women think the law itself provides almost everything women need to protect their rights in education but thai HEW lias done a "lousy" job investigating cases. HEW doesn't want to cut off funds tu schools think they can drag their feet and delay. It's tune HEW started getting serious aboul enforcing their laws," Knox said. Although HEW's regulations are now the law, Title IX is not invincible. Congress still lias the power to amend the original law if they believe it has been interpreted too broadly. For now, women's groups are hoping that Title IX will be strong enough to withstand the opposition until colleges and universities start changing themselves.

The tangwood defense held the William and Mary offense scoreless during the first half with Cheryl Jenkins clearing three attempted goals. During the second half, William and Mary was able to score once, but Sally Terry cleared three shots for a goal. Ginger Nickolas rushed in and scored tangwood's final goal late in the second half to make the final score 4-1 in favor of tangwood. Following the two William and Mary games, the tangwood team proceeded to Virginia Beach, where they spent the night and prepared for their next opponent which was to be Old Dominion University. On Friday, October 3, the teams next went against ODU ai Foreman Field. This game was most definitely Longwood's offenses best game yet. The offense came up with 9 goals to beat ODU by a score of 9-0. Terry Voit was high scorer with 5 goals. Terry Sawyer scored two and Carol Filo put two in for Longwood 1 Longwood's offense dominated the game from the very beginning as they attempted

collegiate sports, either by organizing separate teams or by allowing women to compete for places «n the men's teams. Within the three-year grace period, the 2700 colleges and universities affected by Title IX must integrate all physical education classes except for those in contact snorts. Several attacks on HEW's enforcement policies took place prior to the July 21 deadline but were beaten back by the lobbying efforts of several women's groups. Congressional observers called the women's lobbying a classic "saturation" effort, but it took three House votes to defeat the "Casey amendment" which would have barred HEW from requiring an end to sex segregation in physical education classes and university-based honorary or professional fraternities and sororities. Although Congress can no longer disapprove of the HEW regulations, it can still amend the original Title IX legislation. Rep. James G. O'Hara (D-Mich.) introduced a bill early this summer to limit Title IX's jurisdiction over revenueproducing intercollegiate sports and physical education classes because, he said, his constituents were worried about boys and girls sharing locker rooms. O'Hara's bill was sent back to committee before the July 21 deadline passed and is subject to Congressional review. Women's groups are also facing a Title IX fight in the Senate. Hearings started this week on Sen. John Tower's (R-TX) sports bill which would protect revenues earned by intercollegiate sports or teams from Title IX's ban on sex discrimination. But the fiercest battle to keep the Title IX regulations strong

and effective is now raging between women's groups and HEW. At the same time HEW sent the final regulations to Congress, it published a new "procedural regulation" in which it proposed to stop investigating individual complaints entirely and instead concentrate its efforts tui pursuing what it calls broad-based •pattern and practice" discrimination. Women's groups and some 53 senators who passed a resolution asking HEW to reconsider this proposal believe this would leave no recourse for women or minorities with discrimination complaints except a legal battle in the courts, which many could not afford. Although HEW's guidelines require schools to set up internal grievance committees, women won't have much faith in a procedure "entirely the creature opf the institution that's being charged," according to Holly Knox, director of the Project on Equal Education Rights. Knox said most women think the law itself provides almost everything women need to protect their rights in education but that HEW has done a 'lousy' job investigating cases. HEW doesn't want to cut off funds Bo schools think they can drag their feet and delay. It's time HEW started getting serious about enforcing their laws," Knox said. Although HEW's regulations are now the law, Title IX is not invincible. Congress still has the power to amend the original law if they believe it has been interpreted too broadly. For now, women's groups are hoping tliat Title IX will be strong enough to withstand the opposition until colleges and universities start changing themselves.

"Human Cancer Viruses- Do They Exist?" Lecture Presented By Dr. Bates- September 29 ByJOLEOJ Monday night, September 29th, in Jeffers auditorium was the date and setting for an 8:00 p.m. lecture, given by visiting scholar, Dr. Robert C. Bates. Choosing the highly controversial. yet pertinent topic of Human Cancer Viruses — do they exist? for the theme of his talk, Dr. Bates magnified the effectiveness of his speech by using various projected studies as his subject gravitated from the general to the specific viral problems. Initially offering to the audience the question "Will evidence actually support the existence of cancer causing viruses?", Dr. Bates then divided his discussion into the three main sub-units of "What is Cancer?", "What is the role of viruses in cancer?", and "Intrinistically speaking, will we one day develop a vaccine against cancer viruses if they do exist?" Describing the first sub-unit topic, Dr. Bates mentioned that "There are about one hundred different types of recognized cancer, a killer second only to cardivascular diseases in the United States." He further continued with "the statistics that in 1973, 665,000 people had cancer, and of these 330,000 died. Cancer is after all an abnormal, irrational, and uncontrollable growth of body cells." Dr. Bates then divided cancer types inte

five major divisions according to the percentage of frequency in occurrence resulting in; leukemia 3.4 per cent, lyphomes 5.4 per cent, Sorcomas 1.8 per cent, Concinomas (solid tumors of the skin, glands, breast, etc. . .) 85.3 per cent, and miscellaneous tumors 4.0 per cent. Next explaining the possible roll of viruses in relation to some cancer forms. Dr. Bates stated "while the role of a virus, which has been known for centuries, has been studied since 1903 and definitely proved to cause cancer in various animals, its a whole different case with humans. After all, can one innoculate a human with a virus that may be cancer producing?" Also discussing that cancer may be caused by other factors or a combined number of these factors, the lecturer called this the "synergistic effect of two or more factors," which included viruses, genetic disposition of the host, immunological deficiencies within the host, exposure to chemicals, and exposure to radioactivity. Types of cancer listed which may possibly be virually induced include breast cancer, leukemia, and cervical concinoma. Dr. Bates, in describing methods of cancer detection, and the presence of a virus in tumors said, "there are a number of

Curriculum Committee (Continued from Page 1) least they are displaying the effort to bring about change as opposed to the apathetic student who always complains but never does anything about changing the system. She also feels that working on a faculty student committee lets you see the professors as people and not just teachers. Another junior member of the committee is Carolyn Henshaw. She feels that "general education requirements are important to make the student a well rounded individual, and that there should not be total emphasis on just your major subjects." She also said that there should be a distinguishing separation between a B. S. and a B. A. degree, for at present this does not exist. Carolyn, like Judith, feels that "a lot of sophomores and freshmen do not realize the need for these requirements but as you get more involved with your major, you realize how important they actually are." The senior member, from the student representatives is Gay Harrington. Gay feels that the purpose of this committee is to "recommend changes in curriculum which we believe are instrumental in assuring the welfare of the college community." Since student input is so important, Gay said that "last semester, in an effort to evoke response from the student body, a questionnaire was printed in the ROTUNDA. After three weeks, the eighteen responses were tallied. It seemed the student body was uninterested in questions which should have been vital: what do you expect (and want) to learn about? What constitutes an 'education?' Should everyone master (or at

least be exposed to) a general body of knowledge or is there the need for general education requirements?" Gay also stated that "it is peculiar that students will become involved with the college and still allow this committee (which is for the students, not the faculty) to function solely on the opinions of four student representatives. I would like to extend a second invitation to the students (a first to the class of 79) to think about the question of General Education. If you then care to write out a statement of your ideas and put it in Box 361,1 promise that you will be heard at the next committee meeting." So, if you feel that a change should be made concerning general education requirements, either to increase or decrease the courses, then express your opinion so that changes can be made. Changes will not be made possible unless the students put some interest and input into the committee so that the committee members will know how the student body really feels about the present general education requirements.

ways used to discover if a virus has caused or is in a tumor. A few of these are by electron miscroscopic examination of tumor tissues or a patient biopsy sample, and by cultivation of tumor cells in checking for viral release." He further elaborated on this aspect, with "also one can survey known viruses for tumor induction potential, but then there does remain a problem, because if found in the tumor, can one definitely say that the virus caused that cancer, or was it just present as a 'passenger virus'?" Other means of detection for virus particles included the detection of known viruses in tumor cells with chemicals or radiation to cause the release of a cyptic virus. Separating cancers into two main groups of "RNA Candidates" those containing a protein, or enzyme which can change RNA (ribonucleic acid) to DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and control cell development, and "DNA Candidates," Dr. Robert Bates said "breast cancer, the third most prevelant type, and leukemia, a proliferation of white cells in the blood which eventually clog up the vital organs are RNA types." DNA Candidates discussed were Burkitt's Lymphoma, Nosopharyngeal Corcinoma,

Cervical Concinoma, Hodgkins Disease.

and

In summarizing his lecture. 1 >v. Bates did feel that "there definitely is hope for the future that we will isolate cancer viruses." He also stated "most likely vaccines that will be effective will be developed, as we already have a vaccine for chicken viruses and a type of cancer in monkeys." The talk was ended by an optoinistic quote from the American Cancer Society which follows that "someday, the worst thing about cancer may be the shot you get to prevent it." Dr. Robert C. Bates, is currently an Assistant Professor of Microbiology at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, in Blacksburg, Virginia. Born in Portland, Oregon on March 8, 1944, he received his B.A. degree at Lewis and Clark College and his M.S. in Microbiology at Eastern Virginia Medical School since 1973. He is associated with the professional societies of the American Society for Microbiology, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Society of Sigma Xi, and the Virginian Academy of Science, and has taught courses in Virology, Viral Diseases, Virology Laboratory, Topics in Virology, Immunology, and General Microbiology

Legislative Board (Continued from Page 1) Harwood was also in agreement. She said, "I think it's a good idea because you'll get more opinions." Patsy Miller said, "The students don't really use the representatives they have, but more representatives would bring in new ideas." Another student commented, "We can try it, but whether or not it will bring about greater awareness and participation on the part of the student body remains to be seen. It does, however, stand to reason that an increase in representation will mean more contact with the student body." Doris Boitnott, a senior who is now serving as chairman of Residence Board said, "I feel that Iiegislative Board already has problems getting interested students to run for the few position now allowed." Doris added, "I question the feasibility of their expansion, however, their philosophy of better representation is admirable.

In talking to Mrs. LeStourgeon, the librarian, it seems that there are several books which have been taken from the library without being checked out. These are reference books, and some have even been missing since this summer. The list includes Roget's Thesaurus, Turabian's Manual, Thrall: A Handbook to Literature, Dictionary of American Biography — Vol. 17, Dictionary of National Biography and Encyclopedia Judaica. People might not realize how serious a matter this is, and I feel that everyone should be made aware of the possible consequences. This is not only a violation of the Longwood Honor Code but also a state offense. This comes under stealing in our honor system and is dealt with accordingly. Under the Code of Virginia, it states that anyone who "willfully or without authority removes any book or other property . shall be deemed guilty of larceny thereof, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished as provided by law." This could be punishable by confinement in jail for not more than $1,000, either or both." Signed: Rachel Jolly, Chairman of Judicial Board

Most recently, Legislativerelated Committees have had problems finding interested students. Maybe if this area were to be examined closer we could have more representation and on a much wider scale than those elected by a class." Sally Grymes, a member of the junior class, said, "I think that if you increase the representation, more people will be aware of things and know what's going on." Caty Rafferty, a freshman, said, "With four people the responsibility will be spread out — they could cover more points of view than two people." The proposed change would tend to permit a more proportionate representation in consideration of the size of the student body. Perhaps a larger work force on legislative Board would enable them to reach the majority of students. In the process of preparing this article, it was found that several students did not understand the mechanics of Legislative Board and their present system of representation. One student commented, "I really don't know what's going on at this school." According to the 1975-1976 Handbook, the purpose of legislative Board is "to generate awareness of campus activities, to utilize student opinion, and to act as a liaison among the students, faculty, and administration." The Board's attempt to increase its representation is another means to reach the student body and incorporate the efforts of all interested students. However, the final decision rests in the hands of the students themselves, and the proposed change deserves our thought and consideration.
