Longwood Elects Ford By Landslide; Political Week Debates Candidates, Issues By ANNE CARTER STEPHENS and ANITA CRLTCHF1ELD On Tuesday of Political Week, a debate was held between Senator Virgil Goode, Democrat from Rocky Mount advocating Carter, and Carl Roague representing the Republican party. Each debator was given 10 minutes to discuss their candidates and then 4 minutes for counter attacks. Mr. Roague opened the debates by talking about inflation. He pointed out that two years ago, the unemployment rate was 12 per cent and now it is down to 5.3 per cent. He also said that the President has done much to cut down the federal deficit and wants to continue to do more. Contrarily, Carter is in favor and would sign bills that would increase the deficit. At the beginning of the recession two years ago, when President Ford took office, interest rates shot up, business couldn't get money to enlarge their businesses and the rise in unemployment rose. Since then, he has tried to cut spending and taxes to give money back to the private sector. By doing this, Ford leaves room for private expansion which creates more permanent jobs. Carter's plan for decrease in unemployment calls for creating federal jobs. Usually these jobs are menial and
degrading. Under President Ford four million new jobs have been created in 18 months. Also, Ford wants to focus welfare benefits on those who actually need them. Representating Governor Jimmy Carter, Senator Virgil Goode said that both candidates had good and bad points, but Jimmy Carter comes ahead in good points. He like Ford, also wants tax reform which will benefit the middle class, instead of the rich. He pointed out that Carter was in favor of energy development and wants to pass legislation to control consolidation of large oil companies. He ended by saying "Jimmy Carter offers change for the ordinary citizen." Roague, during the next four minutes attacked Carter's evading issues. He said that although Carter favored tax reforms, he used the same tax reduction shelters. Also Carter's tax reforms as proposed would increase taxes for the middle class.Roague said, "I'm sick of Carter's avoiding issues" referring to conflicting stands concerning federal spending, amnesty. He also showed defects in Georgia's government since Carter's governorship. Senator Goode commented that the democrats have controlled Congress for 22 years. He also said that Carter was in favor of the deconsolidation of large oil
companies because of the monopoly on the coal and uranium fields. He finished by saying that Carter was in favor of more accurable tax for those who pay the most; the middle class. For the next 20 minutes the audience was allowed to ask questions. At the end of the discussion, the debators commented on the candidates they represented. Dr. Sullivan, professor at UVA, spoke on Thursday night of political week. His topic was "Liberty or be Crippled; Understanding the Nature of Contemporary Political Argument". He started his lively and humorous speech with a Civil War story explaining his choice of titles. In the 1850's, a Kentucky congressman wrote to the Virginia congressman about Kentucky's non-acceptance of the end of slavery. The Virginian wrote him about a girl who was going to embroider a motto on her sweetheart's jacket, but she couldn't decide on just the right one. "Liberty or Die" seemed to be the best one, so she asked him about it. He answered by say, "Liberty or Die seemed to be too severe and couldn't it be changed to Liberty or be Crippled." This attitude is reflected in today's society; there's so much apathy, it's very difficult to get people to be committed to

He continued by stating that Public Politics is Public Argument. Arguments tell the attitudes of people towards people in their views. It also lies at the bottom of politics. Rhetoric-the study of dialogue, is used to impress and persuade people in these arguments. However the state of public argument had given rhetoric a bad name. President Nixon, in his inaugural speech, mentioned rhetoric several times. "H it were only Nixon and Agnew who demeaned rhetoric the present election would be simple." Dr. Sullivan pointed out that people expect those people (the politicians) not to misuse conversation, but politicians like Carter, Nixon, and Martin Luther King all have made optimistic speeches with the general theme "The America We know..." He continued by asking if candidates miss speeches. In a Roper survey, it was concluded that today the average voter made his decision on the candidates character rather than his stands on major issues. This was reflected in a comment Archie Bunker made on his show last week. He said he wouldn't sell wheat to the Russians who use the wheat to make bread who would buy peanut butter to eat with the bread. Dr. Sullivan also talked about the rehersal of candidates to take
a stand. Most candidates "stay in the middle" to suit the most people. The Democratic Party has been known to write speeches based on surveys telling the likes and dislikes of people in a certain area. He said that most candidates use language to avoid major issues and issues that count are issues of character. The news media consisted of the next portion of his speech. He showed that news telecasts were 16-20 ideas with 10 commercials in between. Reporting is not the only aspect of media's effect on people's attitudes. Emotion provoking commercials also have much affect on the viewing public, and the media is neither good nor bad in this respect. But it does have an effect on peoples attitudes. For example, Jimmy Carter won the first three primaries which got the rest of America "on the Bandwagon." This shows the way media covers things determines results and it does control peoples feelings. The debates are the best example. Dr. Sullivan pointed out that debates can't tell all. The candidates had to choose a situation that would show their character. He also showed that the media offers no way for the Americans to argue and no chance to see an issue in reality. After his speech, Dr. Sullivan conducted a question-answer session in which the audience questioned Dr. Sullivan's views.

THK ROTUNDA, Tuesday, November 2, 1976
A Challenge There are very few students who manage to attend four years at Longwood College without coming in contact at some point with either Residence or Judicial Board. Whether this contact is in the form of being a board member, defendent, witness, or listening friend, virtually everyone knows something about the procedure called a trial. Residence Board concerns itself primarily with offenses occuring in the dorms, and Judicial Board handles problems involving lying, cheating and stealing. Let's take a look at the differing natures of the cases of the two boards. Residence Board tries such violations as open house infractions (and in the co-ed dorms how many have not broken this rule, but look at the few who have been caught), drinking in public (how does one go from a hall bathroom containing a keg to a room without being in public), and leaving and entering dorms after hours (how can you confine a free adult to his or her quarters between certain hours). Compare the formal trials involving these "major" offenses with the trials of Judicial Board. Cheating, stealing and plagiarizing are the most common violations. How can you justify a board trial for illegally leaving a dorm and for cheating on an exam with the same seriousness? Granted the offenses and hopefully the penalties differ, but the stigma and overall fear of a trial are identical. It is of no value to complain and expect changes without offering some possible solutions. What exactly are the purposes of a dorm president? Why not actively involve the Dorm Council and let them set penalties for minor Residence Board violations? For example, a violation of open house hours could receive first a verbal warning, second a written warning, and third a suspension of visitation privileges for one week end. Some circumstances could warrant a trial, but board members could decide that. This system would eliminate the need for the large number of trials, and Residence Board could concern itself with more serious and pertinent matters such as property damage and possibly small theft claims. Fewer trials would also mean that board members could work toward changing some of the archaic rules that persist. Why has no one looked into the idea of visitation hours during the week, or converting one of the high rises into it CO ed dorm with twenty-four hour visitation for those who want it? The idea of allowing beer in sorority chapter rooms has been talked about for years. Let's finalize it and go on to other things. Once upon a time there was talk of installing an investigative committee or office in the two boards, so that the Chairman and vice-chairman would not be the ones to confront the accused student. Investigators could present the case to the entire board, and all would he totally objective. Granted, the chairman has no vote, but opinions are easily made known in nonverbal ways. The Rotunda challenges the boards. In this beginning year of coeducation, make sure that penalties are not given out to set an example, and be consistent in the ones that you set. Avoid setting harsher penalties for certain students to make a point with the rest of the campus. Avoid preoccupation with trivialities to the extent of overlooking major offenses. Let's face it — there are some rules that the majority Of tins campus breaks, and it seems unfair to prosecute only a few. Avoid sitting on a soapbox. There are Offenses being committed that need serious attention. Concentrate on these, and let the petty things solve themselves.

Q()mmentary:
Self-Awareness Lost On Campus As Students Don't Bother To Learn By LISA SMITH Perhaps it is time for some straight talk about personal awareness. No—not "apathy" or "student involvement", or any of those words everyone hears from the time they step into a freshman dorm until the time they grab their diploma four years later. Those words have lost their meaning somewhere in the shuffle. However, awareness is something none of us can afford to lose and something we can all contribute to. It can be awareness of ourselves or awareness of other people. Either way, we as a student community and as individuals need to be informed and made aware of changing attitudes in ourselves and others. It is a known fact that Americans in general take much for granted. We have everything we need so why bother to become aware of things we do not feel we are interested in? Self-awareness seems to involve some sort of background in psychology while student awareness is something we do not have time for. This kind of thinking and rationalizing can send this country and its individuals into a deep depression and the only excuse will be that no one was "aware" of what was going on. You may be asking yourself— What is all this leading up to? Well, there are several ways in which we can become aware of what is going on in this college community and in the world. For example, the most common topic of this year—besides the Bicentennial—has been the Presidential elections. In an effort to inform us as citizens and as voters the S-UN set aside last week to be Political Week. Many
hours were spent lining up speakers and events so we could learn more about the election, the different political parties, and the answers to our questions. But it seemed everyone already knew everything about the election or we just were not interested. The latter reason is the best guess and there just does not seem to be any reason to spend all the monty the Student Activities Fee Committee allows different organizations on something no one is interested in. Do not worry though students— you were not alone— the faculty and administration were not interested either. Many students did not even know there was a Political Week. This brings us to another point. Please consult your weekly newspaper, The Rotunda. It is senseless to have a weekly newspaper if no one is going to read it. Mass Media tells us that even if we do read the paper, it is probably about the events and topics we are already familiar with and know the most about. This brings us back to personal
awareness. In order to expand our knowledge we must expand our reading and thus gain an insight into what is going on around us. We all have a tendency to shy away from things we do not know anything about, however, this is really not what is best for us. Neither the S-UN or The Rotunda asks any credit be given to them for this service. They only ask that we take advantage of these resources and use them. We paid for them and it is an obligation that we owe ourselves to become interested in a variety of things that benefit us. Motivation is lacking on this campus and it is up to the students to do something about it. Remember, who we are now will carry over into the years after graduation. Educated and personally aware people are greater in number in the working world. To those who have supported the various happenings on campus and off, you are to be commended, for you have contributed to the best cause ever—your own self-awareness.
A Letter From Chi
change those rules that have been bothering you for years, Get Involved. If you feel that the Judicial or Residence Board trials have been unfair, run for an office and change it. The Student Government needs leaders. It needs people with determination, patience, and ideals. The best voice within the student body is through the Student Government. The Student Government cannot function without good leaders. Concerned leaders are essential if we ever hope to get the apathetic complaints redirected. The student leaders of the past have worked hard to bring about the few changes that we have seen and with the added dimension of transitions with coeducation, the challenge is even greater. If we expect to continue changing and updating the rules and regulations of Student Government, we need leaders who are not afraid to take "No" for an answer. Running for an office is not the only form of participation needed to make the Student Government work; there also has to be someone supporting those leaders. This not only includes a vote once a year, it also includes suggestions, complaints and most of all help. The Student Government cannot function if the only people working are those in the leadership positions. We would like to urge you to consider these comments carefully and if you have certain complaints or ideas, fill out a petition and run for an office. If you don't run, at least support those who do. Sincerely, CHI 1977
Dear Students, Faculty, and Administration: Petitions for Major-Minor elections are now available. We would like to urge those of you who have been complaining for a year to take an active part in Student Government. Air your views in a direction where they will be heard. If you want to

Apathy Of Students, Professors Inexcusable And Frustrating By JO LEILI On Tuesday evening, October the 26,1 had the good fortune to witness what was to be for myself a unique and first time experience. On that night, at 8:00 p.m., in the Gold Room, two distinguished members of the Virginia political system came together to match wits and policies for a debate. Their mannerisms, speech, and issues were exceptionally lively and colorful, as well as stimulating and thought provoking. I was left after the hour and a half encounter, actually questioning my choice for Presidential candidate, who until this time I had been firmly committed to. However, after an hour and a half, I was also left with a more overriding memory of my "unique experience," one of embarrasment, humiliation, and frustration. The total head count that night for the debate was 30. Out of a campus consisting of roughly 2,000 in the student body, this represents about a 1.5 per cent attendance. To say the least, I was amazed that during a presidential election year, one with such extreme issues and a "neck in neck" race, such a total lack of interest could be shown by the students. Was an hour and a half too much time to give up to become exposed to the talents and knowledge of these two men, who so graciously gave of their free time to come and speak at
Longwood? Was that test the next day (if any?) so important that one of the representatives, Virgial Goode, actually mentioned verbally (however not maliciously) the 30 person attendance? Was the excuse inadequate publicity, even though the Rotunda publicized Political week in October 19, and October 26 issues, the event was listed on the Student Union Calender handed out at the beginning of the semester, and fliers and a banner appeared on campus? In my four years at Longwood, after hearing four years of complaints from various organizations and sources about the general apathy of the student body, Tuesday night was the most outstanding example. Note, though, that I only mentioned students in my above complaint. That is due to the simple fact that of those 30 persons attending the affair, not one was a Professor from Longwood (with the exception of I. B. Dent, Director of Student Activities.) Not one of the professors who for years have been preaching to the students that they "don't attend enough or any of the lectures offered," "Look a well rounded education," or "aren't exposed to all the forms of media such as the lectures on this campus," had the interest to make a showing at the debate. These same professors,
(especially some of whom are in departments which should have been most interested in aspects of this election; and any election information), are^ perhaps the same ones who have criticized the Student Union in the past, for its one sided "Lacking cultural and intellectual activities "type of program. This was brought to the attention of the Student Union, and honest, hard, effort is being put into revisions, as evidenced by political week, the Jacques Cousteau series of the previous week, and visiting artist Muriel Bach on October 12, as well as films, concerts, coffee houses, mixers, and other more social oriented events. What would have been the general comment if no organization had thought to sponsor some sort of Politically oriented event on campus for the Presidential Election year? Apathy? Perhaps I am being too harsh, though, because Monday night's program had a doubled attendance of about 60 as compared to that of Tuesday, which while still not great is certainly better. The "improved attendance" was for the movie the "Candidate," starring Robert Redford. Oh, and the reason for the "improved attendance?" I guess it's just that Redford had to be better looking than anyone who could have spoken Tuesday night.

Responsibilities, Rules, Duties And School Activities Of Longwood Deans ByTOMHAWKE And DEB EAGLE Since the beginning of the first semester, many students have been aware of the presence of the deans, but they never fully understood why they occupied the luxurious rooms in the Rotunda. Many students have formulated theories pertaining to the actual responsibilities of the deans in regards to the functioning of the school. However, many questions have gone unanswered and therefore, questions still remain. In the paragraphs that follow, we have attempted to inform the students of the understood duties of the deans as compared to the duties which they actually undertake. Dean of the College, Dr. Carolyn Wells, possessing a B.A., M.S. and a Ph.D., is supposed to discuss academic problems which cannot be resolved by faculty advisors or a department chairman, resolve exam conflicts, get permission to enroll in summer courses at another institution and to take work by correspondence. To our knowledge, this is exactly what she does. As far as discussing academic problems, as you will later see, every dean on campus does this. Exams haven't been given yet, so we can't really comment on her actions in exam conflicts. As freshmen, we haven't had the opportunity of getting permission to enroll in summer courses at another institution, which is given by her. Therefore, we can define Dean Wells as an upperclassmen-dean; that is, strictly working with the problems of upper-classmen. Dean of the Students, Dr. Mary Heintz, possessing a B.A., M.S. and Ph. D., is supposed to discuss personal problems with the
students, discuss social regulations, obtain information about sororities (and soon to be fraternities), arrange for late return of groups to campus, withdraw from college, check the activities calendar, make room changes and make changes of adress. According to Dean Heintz, her duties include counseling students with any kind of problems except academic problems, student rosters, helping students undecided about a career or major, advising them, resolving any problems concerning the dining hall, the student union, the activities calendar, but she does not serve as a disciplinarian. We find it difficult to understand how she can find time for such duties, when she is constantly engaged in some formal meeting. Assistant Dean of the Students, Terri Swann, possessing a B.S., and a M. Ed., stated that her job was also counseling, both academic and personal. However, unlike Dean Heintz, Dean Swann has time to talk to the students about losing their contacs down the sink. Among her more important duties, are housing and dealing with problems concerning the Residence Halls. She seems to do quite well at this, as is evident by the good condition of the housing arrangements. Associate Dean of the Students, Dr. Jan Harris, possessing a B.S., M.S. and Ed. D., carries on the same duties as Dean Heintz, which were previously mentioned. Assistant Dean of the College, James C. Gussett, possessing a B.A., M.Ed., and a Ed. D., carries on the same duties as Dean Wells, which were also
previously mentioned. According to the Longwood College Student Handbook, p. 129, the primary function of the Head Resident is to counsel students with their personal problems. It appears that each dean of the college also has a "primary function" of this nature. Evidently, we have an intersection of these two jobs. Should we cast our Head Residents out into the cold and one day read their names on the unemployment list9 With this in mind and the evident fact that many jobs of the deans do overlap; just what do they specialize in when using so many different titles of authority? It kind of makes you wonder.

LC Actors Strike Again With Production Of 'The Glass Menagerie9 To Be Staged Nov. 1113 By SUSIE TRANSUE Just three weeks after the production of William Shakespeare's play, 12th Night, the Longwood Players and the Department of Speech and Dramatic Arts are in full swing again.

LC SOCCER TEAM: A LC Players Realize Inexperience,

VX
See Hustle As Main Asset ByMARGARET HAMMERSLEY The men's soccer team which has been together now for little more than a month, has stopped to look at themselves and locate their mistakes, stronger aspects, and potential talent. Of the soccer players, several got together and spoke with the Rotunda. Those players were: Richard Hunt, a freshman physics major, playing the positions of left wing and half back; David Yerkes, a freshman business management major, playing the positons of wing and half back; John Giza, a freshman majoring in earth science, playing the positions of full back and half back; and Bill Hesse, a junior therapeutic recreation major, playing the position of full back. When asked for the opinion of the first match with H-S, Richard commented, "I think we beat them despite the score.." John added, "We played better played good defense." Bill agreed that "The defense played damn good." Bill also stated, "We won a lot — we won dignity." Commenting on the impression that the Longwood team made on the H-S team, Bill said, "We left them with their mouths hanging open." The Longwood team is basically inexperienced as a team. The players realize this
and are working hard to develop difference between practices and the potential they possess. games. "During practices.he Speaking of the performance of couldn't hang onto the ball, but the first match, which is equally during the game he was a totally applicable to the team's different man — he just played performance in general, Richard fantastic." The final question asked of the commented, "It was definitely our hustle that helped us — there players was, "What do you think were a lot of guys who didn't have of H-S as a team?" Dave control, but just because of their answered that H-S was hustle they beat the H-S guys, "definitely a good team, but I they beat them to the ball." don't think they play together as Richard continued, "Despite the a team." He added, "They play fact that only eight of us have too much of an air game." John really played soccer, we looked commented that they "were like a team that disorganized as a team." Bill felt had... .practiced quite a while." somewhat different that John John described the defense as concerning the team's possessing an "extraordinary organization. He saw H-S as amount of initiative and organized, "They knew agressiveness." Bill felt that the positions; they knew what to do, team was a "little unorganized." what to expect." And he added, When asked if he saw any talent "But they did not have the spunk, on the Longwood team, he the initiative to get up and go that replied, "Yes I did — very much. I felt we had."

It shows, for one player — goalie Bud they run hard, and they have Atkins. Richard noted the done a nice job!
H-SC Players Surprised At First Meet, See Potential In LC Team By MARGARET HAMMERSLEY After the second match with HS last Thursday, three H-S soccer players offered comments on the same questions asked of the logwood Players. As members of an organized soccer team, they evaluated the teams objectively. •Mayer Eric Zedaker was basically impressed with the I-ongwood team. He commented, "There are about four good guys they play well individually, but they're not a team yet." One of the players which he complimented was goalie Bud Atkins, "The goalies's probably the best guy on the team." Comparing the two matches, Eric stated that Longwood played a worse game the second match than they did the first. Feeling that H-S was more organized the second match, he commented that the HS half backs carried the game and were able to get over the
longwood full backs, "The full backs didn't know how to play it." Eric also suggested that longwood might have passed more. When asked of the potential of the team, Eric forecasted optomistically, "They'll be good once they get together." After viewing the first match, Tom Coyle, a half back, "was impressed with a couple guys." He felt that Ixmgwood gave H-S a good game, and added that H-S was basically unorganized. After the second match Tom believed that both teams remained unorganized, but he felt that the Longwood team "had an idea what to do with the ball." He also added, "You came a lot closer to scoring today." Jimmy Lewis, a player-coach, commented that during the second match Longwood "didn't play as well; we played much better, we had some people that didn't play last time." Jimmy contributed the strength of H-S during the second match to the fact that they were surprised by
Longwood during the first match, "I think we were surprised winning one to nothing last week and I think a lot of people got fired up." He sees potential in the Ixmgwood team and hopes to see it developed. He offered, "We've been taking to your coaches and we're trying to get them to keep on pushing soccer because the potential's there." The question was asked if there was any hostility between the two teams. Jimmy answered, "H-S guys don't want to lose to Longwood guys, so there's a little pride involved." Eric added, "There are no hostilities on the field." When the subject of Coach Williamson came up, Jimmy stated, "If you can get a coach who can take a team that's never played before and play as well as those guys can, he's doing all right." (The Rotunda extends its appreciation to the HampdenSydney players for their cooperation. A special thanks to Tom Coyle.)

LC Runs Hard Game As Re-match Brings Defeat By MARGARET HAMMERSLEY The Longwood and HampdenSydney teams met for a re-match last Thursday at HampdenSydney. Longwood was again defeated, 4-0, but that is not to say that they did not run a hard game. H-S was prepared for the match and gave us a good game. The four goals were scored with two in each half. Those players scoring were Skip Baker (two goals), Tom Crowder, and Jay Hundley. Longwood's team, compared to that of H-S, is unorganized and less skilled, but the efforts and energy which Longwood puts into their game cannot be measured. The team strenuously strives to better themselves with each practice and each game. Goalie Bud Atkins deserves a great deal of credit. Four goals may have gotten by him, but
more would have gotten by him if he did not posses the skill that he does. Considering the area which he has to guard, and the intense pressure put upon him, Bud played a nice game. For a spectator on the sidelines, more than once you'll hear the co-captains' "Hustle! Hustle!" And hustle is exactly what number 33, Walter Hughes does. Much to the advantage of the Longwood team, he can run. Tommy Pultz and Richard Hunt, among others played extremely hard. The Longwood soccer team really deserves our support, but you won't understand why until you've seen them play. The next match is scheduled for Saturday, November 6 at Lynchburg College. (10:30 a.m.) The team's first home game will be played Thursday November 11, against Southside Community College.
By MARGARET HAMMERSLEY For those of you who are unaware of it, there are sixteen guys who get together every other afternoon about 5:30 at the campus school and kick a black and white ball around — they are better known as the men's soccer team. Over the past month Coach Williamson has put together a JV team. Although several guys on the team had played in high school, others had never before played. Practices were more of a teaching and learning situation than a coaching situation. Practice was formally scheduled for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday yet the team met on their own time to learn and practice skills. The players living on first floor Tabb conduct strategy meetings everyday where the guys group together and talk soccer. Coach Williamson, several players, and several HampdenSydney players were very cooperative and made themselves available to the Rotunda for comments and interviews. This is Dick Williamson's first year at Longwood; he is a Mississippi U. alumni. Speaking of the first match with H-S (the score was 10, H-S), the coach said, "Having only been practicing for about a month, I think we did super; we got 105 per cent play out of everybody." He added, "I think H-S was good, I don't think they were any better than we were.
being honest." The coach explained that the team made some early mistakes because it is a young team. It takes a little time for the team to get to know each other, who can play what best, and where. As Coach Williamson is new at Longwood, he did not know what to expect from H-S, but said of the first match, "We felt we could play with them and give them a fairly competitive game even though we didn't feel, we were, or should be, as skilled." Despite the disadvantage that H-S has an organized soccer team, the team played well. He faulted the team for concentrating too heavily on getting into position to shoot, ra er tnan shootin "? g There were several problems in the first match, some of which will take awhile to overcome. During the first match the coach was anxious to witness the physical condition of the guys. Because of the small number of players, substitutes were infrequent and the players tired easily. Taking that into consideration, the coach commented, "We played as well as, and sometimes better than HS." Commenting on last Thursday's performance, Coach Williamson stated that he did not think that either team played as well as in the previous match. He felt that our players ran hard, and that they got down to the goal, but just didn't get it in. Coach Williamson also
commented on the inexperience of some of the players. He looks upon this season as a "proving ground" for the team. The athletes are still in training and there is more teaching than coaching at this point. The team is also still in the process of organization. The coach commented, "Enthusiasm that college freshmen exhibit will off set experience." As all of the players except one are freshmen, if they stay with it, they will build a solid foundation for the upcoming seasons. The coach sees the rivalry that is growing between the teams as healthy. Expecting that rivalry to grow, he stated, it's already pretty intense, but that's not bad as long as you keep it within reason kept in the spirit atmosphere rather than in a destructive atmosphere." Coach Williamson extended his gratitude to H-S for scheduling the two matches. Speaking for the players as well as himself, he offered, "we're excited and pleased with the support Ixmgwood has given us we'll play better if we know IiOngwood is behind us." The soccer team certainly deserves all the support we can give them! (As a side comment, speaking of his first impressions of Longwood, Coach Williamson said, "I think Longwood is fantastic one of the friendliest and warmest college campuses I've ever been on I'm impressed!)

Burgwyn, vice-chairman of Legislative Board, said, "When you run (for an office) its all personal fulfillment." Emily explained that nobody pats you on the back but said, "You learn so much." The offices of chairmen and vice-chairmen are open to rising seniors. Rising juniors may request to run for secretary and other offices. A candidate must have a 2.00 average. Emily Burgwyn said that signup sheets for the committees of Student Liaison, Academic Affairs, Student Activities Fees and Pulbications Board will be posted in the New Smoker soon. Legislative Board representatives were told to encourage students to sign-up for these committees. A press conference with Dr. Willett will be held on Tuesday, November 16 at 12:46 in the Gold Room. Topics to be discussed at the press conference will be printed in the November 8 issue of The Rotunda. The Stuff-the-Bus contest, sponsored by Legislative Board, has been approved. Karen Kimbrough and Mary Bruce Hazelgrove are in charge of this project designed to raise money for the Herbert R. Blackwell Scholarship. Details about the contest will be published in later editions of The Rotunda. Susann Smith summarized comments made by Dr. Willett at a luncheon held for Legislative Board on October 25. Dr. Willett announced that there was $6,000 available to spend on capital improvements around campus. The Snack Bar is one area marked for improvements starting in December. The improvements to the Snack Bar should be finished by the beginning of next semester. Dr. Willett also acknowledged that communications between the administration and students could be improved. Dr. Willett explained that deteriorated steam pipes are being replaced in front of Cox and Wheeler. The new steam pipes will save money by reducing heat loss. The construction on South Cunningham is directed towards fixing its leaky roof. The November 8 meeting of Legislative Board will be held in South Cunningham at 7:00.
By MAUREEN HANLEY Dressed in his country's robe, the Venerable Ladhu Reripoche entered the C. Room in Lankford at 1:00 on October 28th. Behind him walked Professor Jeffrey Hopkins, who is a member of the University of VA's Department of Religious Studies. The topic that they discussed was the Tibetan technique for mind development. The Venerable would speak in his native language and professor Hopkins would interpret what the abbot was saying. The abbot started his discussion by stating that "we are living in a time of freedom, where we have the right to practice any type of religion that we desire." He said that since we have this power now is the time to achieve whatever we want in order to improve the future." The abbot then discussed the techniques a person should use, in order to mold a better future for themselves. "The first step is to engage in a means to improve this lifetime, which is why people select a religious practice. "Using this idea, the abbot then discussed Budda and one formation of his religion, and the various forms of teaching his beliefs. In order to save time, the abbot selected the "Teaching of the Great Vechencal," to discuss. He stated that "the welfare of others is extremely important in the Great Vechencal and the way that you train for this achievement is through the mind of enlightment. The abbot then proceeded to discuss the earthly difference between a friend, an enemy and a neutral person. In this discussion, he explained that ■ in this technique there is no difference between the three, because a person who
is a friend now was an enemy in the past, while a person who is a friend now will be a neutral person in the future. So that "all three have helped or hurt in sometime in your lifetime, thus there is no difference. When a person has reached the point of understanding this he has completed the 1st step and proceeds to the 2nd step. In this step, the individual "recognizes everyone as his mother and he extends his mind back through his birth stage, fetus stage and continues past his numerous lifetimes. During this time he realizes that he had an unlimited number of mothers, thus everyone has been his mother in one of his previous lifes." The abbott stated that this stage is very dificult to do and it takes a great effort to achieve this point. The third stage, a person enters, is when the individual is aware of his mother's kindness and the hardships that she has undertaken. He stated that "a mother will do whatever she can to take care of her child and that she does not think of herself. "Once you have reached this stage you should extend your kindness to others," said the abbott. The fourth stage is when the individual develops the intentions to repay everyone for their kindness. Once this has been achieved then the person should move to the 'love of pleasantness" and then the mode of cultural passion. In the last step, stated the abbott, the individual examines himself and discovers that he is a free being. When this person realizes the power in his interior himself then he is a Budda and the point of enlightenment has been reached.

LC Volleyball Team Loses To Mary Washington ~-^But Wins Against Ferrum And Liberty Baptist ByTERIDUNNIVANT On October 26, the Longwood College volleyball teams again took to the road, traveling to Mary Washington for the week's first match. Longwood took some time to warm up, and dropped the first game to Mary Wash. 15-5. Then they turned it around and put it together for a win in the second, taking it 15-13. The third game Longwood played in style. They traded points with Marh Wash, and made some fantastic plays, but they just didn't hold on long enough. Mary Washington took the game 15-12 and Match. Then the JV's came out—ready to play after a two week layoff. Freshman Kaye Carter, in her first starting appearance, ripped off ten quick service points before Mary Washington could get the ball. The points were long, but it was a short game for the JV's at 15-5. In the second game Mary Wash, came alive and started sending the ball back. LC just wasn't playing their game, and after losing Cindy Thomas to a reinjured knee, they lost some composure and also lost the game 15-6. LC got everything back together in the last game, but won the game and match in somewhat sloppy form. The last one went to Longwood 15-12. Wednesday night the varsity traveled to Jefferson Forrest High School to play an exhibition match at the school's annual volleyball tournament. They took on Lynchburg College for the second time this season, but lost in a close match in which coach Carolyn Price said she "almost had heart failure" during some points. The team's improved play was only a preliminary to
Thursday's games with Ferrum and Liberty Baptist College. Thursday night saw Longwood's varsity capture their first wins of the season. They easily took the first game from a much improved Ferrum team 153. The momentum didn't hold, however, as Ferrum came back in the second game leaving LC on the short end of a 15-2 score. The third game proved to be another battle with LC and Ferrum trading points several times until the Blues finally grabbed the lead and pulled out the game 1513. The Liberty-Ferrum match followed, which Liberty took in two games. In the final match of the night, Longwood met Liberty, again faking the first game 15-13. But as in the previous match, LC couldn't hold on in the second. They started out well, but dropped the lead and fell behind. Liberty took that game 15-8. Again the third game was the wild conclusion to the match. Longwood gave the home fans some thrills—and a victory which well deserved their second standing ovation of the night. The final score was Longwood 15, Liberty 7. Speaking on the week's games, Mrs. Price said, "The JV deserves a lot of credit for winning the third game from Mary Wash., because it's really hard to come back after a second game loss." She also noted "100 per cent improvement" in the varsity's game against Lynchburg, and she's looking forward to playing them again and taking the match. With both teams having won some matches, the varsity two and JV's three,

and built some confidence, Mrs. Price is hopeful of a successful conclusion to the season. The results from Saturday's Lynchburg tournament will be in next week's Rotunda. This week, on Tuesday night (tonight), Longwood plays their last home games of the season. The games are against William and Mary and Bridgewater College, and they begin at 7:00 in Her gym. Wednesday has in store a trip to VSU in one of the annual "big" games of the season. As Tuesday's game is the last one at home, a large crowd would be marvelous. Please come out and support the teams by making lots of noise. Again we offer congratulations to the teams and hopes for continued success.
SPORT FOLLIES By DIANNE HARWOOD Joy has been restored in the hearts of those who withstand the winters' fury to watch those everloving girls who call themselves hockey players. I think a little bit of joy also arose in the girls themselves as they ripped Mary Washington 6-0 and VCU 1-0 in this week's contest. Longwood traveled to Mary Washington College last Tuesday to take on the winless Mary Wash squad. The girls were flashing shades of their old form as they recorded 38 shots on goal and over nine minutes of penetration time. Inners Terry Voit and Carol Filo shot in three goals apiece to give LC the large margin. Objectively speaking, I must say the team looked a bit better than they had in previous outings. However, I must withhold the ultimate praise because I know the team has the potential to do better. Hopefully they are stockpiling all their talent and plan to utilize it in the upcoming tournaments. The squad also recorded a 1-0 victory over VCU in their final home game of the season. The girls put on a good show of stickwork, footwork and teamwork as they recorded over fourteen minutes of penetration

time. Terry Voit took the scoring honor midway into the first half that put Longwood on top. With one non conference game to go, the team record stands as weight wins three losses and two ties. The JV squad ended their season with two impressive wins over Mary Washington and VCU. Linda Baumler, Debbie Kinzel, Kim Furbee and Suzanne Ash each scored once to give LC a 4-0 win over Mary Wash. The VCU game went to Longwood on goals by Courtney Mills, Linda Baumler and Debbie Kinzel, with the final score being 3-1. This gives the JV's an impressive record of ten wins, and two losses. Congrats on a job well done, baby blues. The "play of the week' occurred last week; this prestigious honor goes to freshman Wanda Peterson, who proved that you don't have to put the ball in the cage to score. Miss Peterson was attempting a penalty flick against VPI, and although the flick went over the cage, she was awarded the goal due to a goalie infraction. A job well done, Wanda, for a job that you almost didn't do. Player of the Week goes to the Virginia Beach Baby, Miss Carol Filo. Carol, a junior physical education major, has had just a bit of trouble scoring this year. But apparently she has found the handle, as illustrated by her
three goals against Mary Washington. Nice, Carol, nice. And now for the highlight of the column; the "Sally Custer Quip": "The drying up of Mary's Wash" and the destruction of "Virginia's Common Wealth" served as a warning of the strength with which Hurricane Longwood will be hitting the Tidewater Area next week end at the state tournament."
Tennis Record Remains Good By DEBBIE NORTHERN The Longwood Women's Tennis team has now played a total of 10 matches with various colleges. Their record to date is 6 wins, 3 loses, and 1 tie. They have defeated Randolph-Macon twice, Randolph-Macon Women's College, Mary Washington, VCU, and Sweet Briar. William and Mary, Mary Washington and Madison have been the only teams to defeat IiOngwood. The one tie was with Westhampton. Lisa King, who has been on the team for four years, is the only senior on the tennis team and played her last match yesterday against Sweet Briar. She and Mary Barrett won the deciding doubles game of the match to put Longwood ahead 5-4.

I^ura is ver dependent on her family and a very fragile individual who sees herself as "a piece of my glass menagerie." When asked about the character Laura, Bene replied that, "Iaura is letting her crippled leg stop her from maturing and meeting people." Bene does not feel that the short span between the production of 12th Night and the production of The Glass Menagerie has hurt the actor performances at all and that the cast is indeed ready for the opening night. Adding to that, Bene replied that she is normally an uptight individual but the

professional requirements of the teaching staff may be given appropriate faculty rank as determined by the governing boards. The program existed as far back as 1964 and has been amended a number of times, most recently in June, 1975. The program calls for persons appointed to the list of positions outlined in the attached memos to meet the minimal qualifications for entrance to the academic profession. Because many institutions have, in the past, and continue to have, some situations in which individuals with only the bachelor's degree have been employed, the Personnel Office has indicated that the bachelor's degree would be the minimal requirement. This does not imply that the same rank will always be given for the same degree. Consideration of administrative personnel has to include such factors as degree of responsibility and long-term professional training which might cause deviation from the traditional master's and doctor's degrees. At the present time, there are 16 full-time administrative personnel, and 6 librarians who have faculty status. Of the 22 individuals involved, 20 possess at least a master's degree and the remaining two have done work on the master's degree. There have been no persons hired to positions carrying faculty status who do not possess a graduate degree since 1971. The Longwood Board of Visitors has reaffirmed support of the State plan at meetings on February 3, 1972, and August, 1972. It reiterated its support for full faculty voting rights for these individuals and indicated its opposition to anything less than full citizenship. According to the American Association of State Colleges and Universities' national survey in March of 1975,53.4 per cent of all administrators nationally in state-supported institutions have faculty rank.
