Plans Being Make To

Make College Barrier Free By DEBBIE NORTHERN About a year ago, HEW Secretary Joseph Califano signed the regulations implementing Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This section stated that all facilities receiving HEW funding must make all their services accessible to the handicapped, employers may not discriminate against the disabled; free public education will be available for disabled children; and all programs at HEW-supported colleges and universities will be made available to the disabled. By June 1980, all high schools, community colleges, and colleges must be made barrier free. The federal government has left it up to the states and colleges to fund this project, which is creating problems. The federal government does not wish to give federal monies for the implementation of barrier-free facilities, and the states and colleges do not have the funds. Dr. William Peele, vice President for the Administration at Ixmgwood says this college is in the developmental planning stages to comply with HEWfl regulations He said that no one was opposed to the concept and Longwood has been trying to dn this for years. Di Peele commented that so far the estimated tall) for costs of the project range between $250,000 to $350,000. The costs tor such schools as University of Virginia and Virginia Tech go much higher At .i recent meeting to discuss this problem, one university found that it would WK'A 50 million dollars if it were to strict!) abide i>\ the

regulations. According to Dr. Peele, Ixingwood has estimated it will cost around $20,000 just in the construction of such things as ramps. Two per cent of the residence hall capacity must be able to handle handicapped students. Some of the costs will have to be met through auxiliary enterprises, such as student fees. 1 /ongwood is interested in ways to provide programs for the handicapped and yet save money. They will have to decide what will need to be done to make buildings accessible, such as either building elevators or moving classes to another building. An architect suggested that Stubbs would be the best place economically to house handicapped students. This proposal has not been seriously considered by the college administration. Many campuses are finding that making all its programs accessible does not mean making every building accessible, according to the College Press Service. Volunteer efforts to provide services for the disabled often result in the receiptof state, federal or grant money. Small groups of students, faculty and staff founded the Office of Programs for Students with Disabilities at the State University of New York. For a year, volunteers and one paid staff member ran the office until B federal grant provided for three and one half paid staff workers. The grant also provided an increase in services which included counseling and advocac) assistance for students on and off campus.

Home Furnishings Class Takes Trip ByPAULA JOHNSON Despite the treacherous ice that fell across Virginia last Wednesdaj. March 8, the Home Furnishings class, under the direction of Mellnda Ingram, wenl tÂť WiUiamsburg to see some of the original pieces of the period. Prior to their visit the class had been studying the history of home furnishings. While there, Miss Ingram and her group toured the George

Wythe House, the Governor's Palace, and the cabinet maker's shop. The group also took in the Craft House, which had furniture reproductions of the WiUiamsburg period, and the bakery, which was a treat on such a cold and wet day. Many of the students we.nl in "to see the way the people of WiUiamsburg lived." Miss Ingram stated that the trip was an enhancement to the class.

Thefts Increase On CampusStudents Urged To Take Precautions By BECKY BENNICK During the past few weeks, Ix>ngwood College has been the scene of numerous thefts. To date, the thief has not been arrested; however, Campus Police are keeping a careful watch on the campus grounds. Lankford and the physical education buildings have been the key targets. Two weeks ago

$150 was stolen from the book store. Mr. Harper said that while one person was being helped at the back of the store, another person stole the money from behind the counter. Mrs. Ennis, a secretary in the S-UN office, had her pocketbook stolen. While Mr. Dent and a secretary were doing paperwork, someone stole Mrs. Ennis' purse

S-UN Features Guitarist The Student Union will present Mr. Barry Drake on March 31 at 8:00 p.m. in the Gold Room. Barry Drake was born in Jersey City, New Jersey. Attending Manhattan College, disguised as a pre-med student, he fell in with numerous undesirables and before long was caught up in the folk music revival going on in Greenwich Village. Barry began playing at coffeehouses and colleges in the area and quickly lost interest in academic pursuits. One day in 1967, Barry found himself on a Greyhound bus en route to San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury. While there he played his music in the coffeehouses of North Beach. An opportunity to attend graduate school in Oceanography was too much to resist and he was on his way to California again after getting a B.S. in Biology in New York. As fate would have it, Barry, once again, spent most of his time playing his music in San Francisco, and never made it back to grad school. He returned to New York to work the clubs in Greenwich Village and quickly became a member of the guitar toting songwriter community there. Eventually, the creeping self doubt and depression, common to the artist trapped in an insensitive city, sent Barry scurrying on a journey to Europe and North Africa. The trip ended with a very successful appearance at the Cambridge Folk Festival and some recording offers. Coming back to the states in 1970, he moved to Woodstock, NY. and accepted a recording contract with Capitol records. An album, "Happylanding" i Capitol

St-776) was released, produced by the heavy hand of Terry Knight. Barry, displeased with the over-produced album, left Capitol and turned his efforts to playing live music, in front of live audiences, his own way. He toured the country with The National Coffee House Circuit for four years. Feeling the need to grow and be in control of his own fate, Barry left the National Circuit to go on his own. In the past six years he has played at more than 100 colleges and clubs. Barry is currently living high in New York's Catskill Mountains, working on new songs and getting out on the road as often as possible.

from the front office. It was found on the stairs outside the bowling alley with all the money missing. Other people have had wallets emptied, too. Ms. Harris of the Physical Education Department, had her wallet stolen from her desk while she was in the next room making a phone call. It was found in the trash can in the ladies' room at McDonald's. Again, only money was taken. The Campus Police are quite concerned about this matter. Lieutenant Webb said that as many as five to six thefts have been reported each week. Usually it is money and pocketbooks that are taken, but other things, such as keys, have been taken as well. I,t Webb asks students to report to Campus Police any unauthorized person seen in a dormitory or classroom building. He also suggests trying to give a complete description of the person so that a suspect card can be filled out. In addition, Lt. Webb suggests that students not carry large amounts of cash on them. They should lock up their valuables and keep a close watch on their checkbooks. These practices may help discourage future thefts.

Barry Drake will be performing in the Gold Room on March 31.

Poet, Novelists Will Read At Literary Festival By QUENTIN VEST Poetry and fiction will share the spotlight during this year's Ijterary Festival, sponsored by the English Department in cooperation with the GYRE. The three-day series of public readings set for April 3, 4, and 5 will feature an all-Virginia lineup, including an appearance by Otis Douglas, a member of the Ixmgwood faculty. Headlining the festival will be novelist Allen Wier, who taught creative writing at Ijongwood during the early !970's and helped to establish the current series of literary programs by enticing to Ixmgwood such noted authors as David Madden (Wier's mentor at \SU) and Erica Jong. Mr. Wier's wife, Dara, appeared in last year's festival, reading from her new book, BLOOD, HOOK & EYE. Allen Wier himself has two books scheduled for publication later this year by Ii>U Press — a collection of short stories and a novel. His stories have appeared widely in some of America's most prestigious literary magazines, such as the Georgia Review and the Carolina Quarterly. Wier

currently teaches in the writing program at Hollins College. Allen Wier will read on Tuesday evening, April 4, at 7:00 in I.ankford ABC. Poet Joseph Garrison will open the Festival on Monday night, April 3, at 7:00 in East Ruff tier 306 ion the third floor near the Rotunda). In addition to being a prize-winning and widelypublished poet, Garrison is a Professor of English at Mary Baldwin College, a classical guitarist, and, as he puts it, "the husband of the only practicing woman attorney in Augusta County, Virginia." He has published many important essays and articles on American Literature. Nearly every serious student of Edgar Allan Poe has read Garrison's essay, "The Function of Terror in the Work of Edgar Allan Poe." Poe's influence on Garrison is discernible in several ways, but above all in the quiet, hypnotic intensity with which he reads his own poetry. At VCU's Festival of Virginia Poets in 1975, Garrison electrified an audience on a dreary November afternoon. His performance was

highly praised in the next day's papers. Novelist-critic-poet Ron Carter, probably most familiar to Virginia readers as a regular reviewer of fiction for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, will also participate, reading one of his most recent stories and perhaps some of his poems. But by far the most familiar face and voice will DIVING INTO YOURSELF by JOSEPH GARRISON Standing at the end of a three-meter board, you need the twelve feet of water in the well. You count up the years, like the pennies you sec. since you were a swan. You lean out and look at the face flickering back at you, not yours but like one you have recalled from a dream. You remember your past, its breech presentations. Now is the time to find yourself, to meet yourself the right way, head first, when you go down into your rising image, leaving only the sound of a single, round pebble and the widening rings that mark the place where you have entered.

belong to Otis Douglas, who make his second appearance for the GYRE festival. Mr. Douglas, a product of the high-powered MFA program at the University of Iowa i which also produced Flannery O'Connor), also holds an M.A. from Auburn University. He, too. will read from his recent fiction. Time and place for the readings by Carter and Douglas will be announced. This year's festival should serve as proof that Virginia continues to provide a home for some of this country's most vigorous and original creative work, and that some very in-

teresting writing is bein^ done right here m our own area. While the Literary Festival has brought such world-famous writers as Russia's Andrei Voznesensky. South Africa's K/ekiel Mphalele, and Robert Penn Warren to Ixmgwood, the festival this year expresses its continuing commitment to exposing the Longwood audience to the best writers from our own state All sessions of the festival are (•pen to the public at no charge. The GYRE and the English Department invite everyone to attend and have a face-to-face encounter with today's literature

Cockroaches In hood

In the latest faculty meeting on March 6, the Faculty voted against any new changes in the General Education Requirements. The committee worked hard in preparing new guidelines, which probably had some met its and were designed to make the student a wellrounded, educated person. But one aspect that most educators seem to overlook are courses designed, not only to better the lives of the students, but society as a whole. Courses such as first aid and CPR should be a vital, manatory part of anyone's education. U. S. News and World Report recently printed an open letter urging all high schools in the nation to offer CPR courses. Should American colleges do no less? With the rate of deaths due to heart failure on the rise, everyone should be taught what to do if confronted with this type of emergency. As of now, I.ongwood only offers first aid courses to Physical Education Majors, while this course should he taught to prepare students for everyday emereenies. This course apparently is well taught and those taking it are able to rationally respond to situations they arc confronted with and this spontaneous reactions might just save a life. They certainly saved min<\ (in Friday. March 10, while eating lunch, part of my hamburgc" became lodged in my windpipe. Unable to breath. I attempted to dislodge this particle by swallowing Coke and coughing, all to no avail. My friends at the table immediately upon noticing what was wrong tried to help. One slapped me sharply on the back and when this failed ran to find help.

I. myself, would have been unsure what to do in Ihis type of situation, which could occur any day. The majority of the student body arc likewise ignorant of basic emergency procedures. Therefore, The Rotunda HUMS the faculty, and administration to make First Aid classes available to more students or require Iheni as General Education requirements. This type of < our; e is just as important, if not more so. in causing students to make quick, logical judgements and benefiting society as a whole.

Dear Editor, The cockroach is actually a very clean insect. In fact, the first thing a cockroach will do if touched by a human is clean himself. Although much could be said about the cleanliness of the cockroach's habits, nothing can be said about the cleanliness of his habitat. Cockroaches live and breed in an environment that is usually characterized by filth or unsanitary conditions. I charge that conditions such as these are actually allowed to exist in our own dining hall here at I/mgwood. On Monday, March fi. 1978. while making one of my rare appearances in our dining hall, I was confronted by one such dastardly creature having a field day in our bread basket. I subsequently made it a point to introduce the culprit to Mr. Klassen, who obligingly produced a new basket of fresh bread. I have no idea what course of action was taken after the incident, but I venture to guess that very little, if anything, was done to relieve our dining hall of this infestation. Being no authority on the subject of food preparation and handling, I must regretfully abstain from offering any solution to this problem. However, I feel that it is my duty as a student of I»ngwood to inform my peers of the conditions that exist in our dining hall, as establishment that could neither exist nor operate without our support.

Senior Spotlight

Music Is Dahlman''s Life By ALVIN CASTLE The next time you say hello to Hank Dahlman in passing, and he doesn't respond, don't feel insulted. He's busy. 'When things are on my mind, I can walk right by people and not even know they're there." A lot of people misunderstand Hank. Some think he's pushy, some think he's a snob. But, he values his time at Ixwgwood and uses it purposefully. Hank didn't achieve notoriety here until he played the lead role in Fiddler on the Roof as well as it can be played. Not bad for a music major who considers drama a sideline. Considering he has to take seven classes to get 16 credits, there's not much time for sidelines or anything else. Ever since his senior year at Jefferson High School in Tampa, Florida, Hank has been on a direct line toward his major goal; to teach music. "I get more satisfaction seeing someone else perform something that I've taught them than doing it myself." Believe that.after he has turned down such offers as touring the Midwest with his band as a backup to a major group two years ago. "It was a big decision to make after a bad year at Milligan" (Milligan College, Johnson City, Tennessee.) But, it was the strong education department at Ix>ngwood and, the presence of Dr. McCray that influenced Hank to attend here. "I knew there was a lot of antimale sentiment here as well as racial hang-ups. But, the choral department is top quality and there's a good vocal program," he stated. Indeed, music is Hank's life. He plays bass guitar, guitar, piano, tuba and baritone and sings. Like most knowledgeable music people, he can appreciate all forms. •Well, with the exception of I^wrence Welk. That's the kind of music you hear in a dentist s office. I wouldn't buy a Feron Young album, either." Hank's life sounds typical show business. Of course, he was born in Manhatten, New York. He's the son of an ex-producer who quit the business to repair broken-down boats. Still, today, Hank must go to the water to relax. He has bummed around

and worked odd jobs to keep money in his pocket. Paying his dues, so to speak. But, why would he pick Ixmgwood? "It's not as bad as people make it sound. I knew the HampdenSydney situation was a little weird. It took a little while to get used to the MG's cruising around campus." "I will say one thing for the Honor System. In terms of cheating, it's very fair. But, it's scary to think you could get thrown out of school for being caught with a girl at five after ten. On the other hand, that rule doesn't affect people on 3rd floor Frazer." "1 guess that's just Virginia. It's the most conservative state in the Union." Hank Dahlman may never be famous. But, he'll be happy and successful. "My whole bag used to be success. But, I can see people who have reached the goals I have set for myself and they're miserable. That's tragic. I believe life is organic. For it to hold meaning, you have to have solid beliefs. Security in your principles. Your life is constantly changing. If you don't change with it, you'll stagnate and rot. Make yourself happy with what you have." It's the low-key approach that turns on Hank. He wants conduct and perhaps compose the music, not perform it. He wants to teach it, not play it. He'll always be in music, however. He couldn't do work he didn't enjoy. "The work is my reward." "A lot of people don't work at the things they like because they never took the time to find out what they like or believe in. Our sense of values must be all screwed up. It's disgusting that people arc starving in Appalachia while we are inventing new and improved ways to blow up the world. Why, because people won't do what they believe or feel is right. They just work 8-5 to survive. That's existing, not living!" Behind all the idealism, there is a reality to Hank Dahlman. He is very serious about his education. He wouldn't waste his time if he wasn't. Some times he over extends himself to where he walks past you in a daze. (Continued on Page 6)

First Year Of Baseball Looks Good For Lancers BvROGER STRONG "It's our first year. We haven't recruited any players, yet we hope to finish around 500," says I/tngwood baseball coach Bill McAdams. Optimistic'' Most would think such an outlook (.500 season) to be a bit beyond the capabilities of a first year college level team. McAdams, however, has a few reasons for believing in the potential of this year's squad. Although LC has not actively recruited any players for this season, they have managed to come up with some bonafide college talent. Possibly the biggest key to Longwood's success this year is Mike Vermillion, a transfer from Florida, the hotbed of college baseball. Vermillion will be counted on in many respects. His most important role will be as a pitcher. "We must get some complete games out of the starters if we're to be successful," said McAdams. Thai means that Vermillion, who will be the backbone of the pitching corps, must produce on the mound for the lancers. He is also an excellent hitter, (best on

VASAP Helps Drunk Drivers B) IH.BBIENORTHERN Recently the VASAP Van made an appearance at LongWOOd to demonstrate breath test devices used by the police and bars. They also distributed information about drunk driving.

The Virginia Alcohol Safety Action program is a statewide program designed to identify and apprehend excessive drinking drivers. It also helps these drivers In offering individual treatment through education and rehabilitation. Participants in VASAP are persons who have been charged with Driving Under the Influence. This charge can be made by obvservations by the arresting officer about your driving behavior or if a bloodalcohol content test reveals a level of .10 per cent or greater, Virginia has an 'implied concept" law, whereby the driver automatically agrees to a chemical test for intoxication if arrested for DU1.

Goes To Regionals The Longwood College gymnastics team placed third in the Virginia Federation of Intercollegiate Sports for Women Tournament held at William and Mary February 26. The LC gymnasts combined for a total of 118.1 points. James Madison University took first place with 131.15 points, and William and Mary finished second with 123.30. Lancers Dede Kirkpatrick, Debbie Harrison, and Claire Gilless qualified as individuals for the Region II Tournament to

be held in Ixmisville, Kentucky, March 10-11. Ixmgwood's team score in the state competition has qualified the team as well for regionals. As one of the twelve teams from the five states composing Region II of the AIAW, IxHigwood faced challenging competition in the regional tournament held this weekend. LC Coach Ruth Budd expected the team to do well, however, noting that I/>ngwood finished less than four points behind Georgia College, ranked 19th in the nation, in a recent meet at East Carolina.

Demythologizing Going Into The Woods By GEORGE STONIKINIS, JR. dreaded "whatever-it-is" is waiting for you to appear. You Yep, this is one of those kind of are absolutely justified in your articles.

All those "bugaboos" are out removes some irrational fear so that you no longer have any there and their numbers and reason to refrain from doing influence increase the more you something you don't want to do in read and go to the movies. Why, the first place; like walking into the special effort you have to the woods. make to discover they even exist Venturing into the wilderness is a testament to their conjures bizarre fears which just elusiveness. Thank God for the begin with anxiety about rabid creative, they have introduced animals or lurking perversions of more healthy nail-biting fear into nature. Generally, no logic can our lives than campfire story dispell the feelings that somehow tellers. More than anything, all Bigfoot's habitat-range has this fright must have a basis and expanded to include just where has to exist or the quality of you are, or extraterrestrial life wilderness is lost. forms will choose just that time A number of techniques may be and place to set down in front of employed to combat such fears. you. Whatever the cue provided First, everything comes out at by the latest novel, movie, or night so nocturnal visitations into horror tale it is sure to constitute the woods should be limited. If a sufficient foundation for you must spend the night in the absolute certainty that the wilderness, always remember

the warmer the sleeping bag the less you have to fear. If the sleeping bag can be pulled over your head threat of attack or encroachment is especially minimized. Substantial tents or mobile campers eliminate anxieties entirely. There is something in all this interpretation about a return to the womb, but we won't go into that now. Second, do not attempt to scientifically analyze the element of stress. A good example of this is snakebite. This year you have one chance in two hundred thousand of being bitten and one chance in twenty million of dying of snakebite. Now this scientificappraisal makes you no less skeptical of snakes; if it did, you'd probably be the turkey who got bitten. Third, venture out in numbers; take other people along. It's a

plain and simple fact that uglies are repelled by crowds. "Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my!"; are quickly dispersed by large congregations of folks tramping through the underbrush. Seldom, if ever, have large groups sighted the likes of the abominable snowman, Ix>ch Ness Monster, enraged pumas, or man eating deers. The group may also try holding hands. There are other techniques for enhanced security one could use like whistling, carrying weapons, wearing coordinated attire, and being armed with an ever-ready camera to record the anticipated assault. But, these approaches require more advanced skills and should be used only by the more experienced outdoorsman. Now, what is the lesson learned? If there isn't the least little bit of anxiety or

apprehension in your outings then you must be on a picnic. Healthy fear and cautious trepidation must characterize your style as you mark time in the wilderness; or you must realize the world holds no further wonder or unknowns for you. So, if you can't face challenge then relegate yourself to the more mundane world of nailing up paneling or cleaning the oven Thrill is what you seek'.' Then. psyche yourself out; go ahead and make a real adventure out of life.

Faculty Votes < ontinued from Page 1) Each member thought up their own concepts and the committee looked at other college's General Education Requirements. At one time the committee thought about bringing in the National Endowment for the Humanities, but this idea was rejected. The preliminary proposals were brought to the January 31 faculty meeting, where faculty members were allowed to comment on them. I-ater, a group session with 50 to 60 faculty members met to discuss the requirements. There was a concern expressed that basics were necessary, as was macimum flexibility for the students, meaning having basic requirements and electives in General Education. Also, there was a discussion about mterdisiplinary courses. Miss Bishop stated that the ( (immittee "spent a great deal of time" debating many points and talking to "a lot of people in many areas." As Miss Bishop stated in her preliminary statement at the March 6 meeting, "General Education is based on those studies known as the liberal Arts, which embrace the broad areas of the Humanities including Philosophy, Literature, and the fine arts, and of communication including grammar, composition and speech, mathematics, natural

sciences (physical and biological) and the social and behavior sciences." The Ad Hoc Committee was interested in finding what was best for students and faculty. They felt that an increase in the amount of General Education requirements could occur without hardships and would not limit the electives outside a students own major requirements. Miss Bishop felt the Committee was concerned with giving the students opportunity to become well educated and familiar with essentials. Miss Bishop said her Committee had done a good job and was very positive. She believed that there will probably be another review soon, but this Ad Hoc Committee was desolved by Dean Carolyn Wells in the March 6 faculty meeting. (See page 4 for sections of Proposed Revisions which passed.)

Miss Longwood (Continuedfrom Page 1) Lyndi's most memorable experience was when she won the title of Miss Congeniality in the National Tobacco Festival. Of this experience she said "It was truly rewarding and I'll always cherish it." She was greatly influenced by the current Miss Virginia. Tern Barlett. According to Lyndi, "The greatest way to achieve is to have belief in yourself." To Miss IxHigwood 1978 Lyndi's words of wisdom are "Remember to be yourself at all times because you are an ambassador of Ixwgwood wherever you go." Following Lyndi's enlightening speech the girls modeled swimsuits. After which Lyndi and Charlie sang "Southern Nights." Next was the modeling of the evening gowns. While waiting for the judges' decision, Charlie and Lyndi provided the audience with jokes and encores of "Riders To The Stars," "Southern Nights," and "Isn't She Lovely.'' The entertainment was furthered by Lyndi singing "Cabret," her winning talent for the Pageant of

1977. After a nerve-racking 20 minute delay, the judges reached their decisions. The Most Talented Finalist Award went to Jill Zeavin. The second runner up was Patricia Shirey and the First Runner Up was Linda Kulp. The new Miss Ix>ngwood 1978 is - Miss Kim Turnbull. So, amidst tears of joy and screams of ecstasy, Miss Ix)ngwood 1978 took the first steps of her career. Among the gifts bestowed upon the contestants were $500 to Miss I/)ngwood, $300 to 1st runner up, $150 to 2nd runner up and gifts from some of the Farmville merchants. The money awarded to the girls will be credited to their tuition here at Ix>ngwood. Special thanks goes out to all those who helped to make the pageant a success. Especially the pit band composed of John Hudson. Andy Pittard, Pam "C.B." Brown, E. B. Mears, Michael Tubb, and Susan Bernard.
