Women And The Bible Topics Of Father Burghardt By BECKY BENNICK Contemporary issues such as evolution and women's lib are not usually considered part of the "topical repertoire" of most priests and ministers. Instead, we tend to think of them as only being concerned about the balance of good and evil in society. Father Burghardt proved this to be a misconception, however, when he addressed Ixmgwood College faculty and students this past week. Thursday, April 20, Father Burghardt presented a lecture that was especially significant to Longwood's predominantly female student body: "Women's Lib, or, What'11 We Ever Do if the Women Go Free?" "I don't claim to know all of the answers," said Father Burghardt, "and I already have five strikes against me. I'm a man, a scholar, a theologian, a Jesuit, and a celibate." But, regardless of his "batting average," he presented a lot of sound advice for women. Before he would recommend a solution to the problem of women's confinement by social barriers, he first wanted to answer two questions: has woman really been oppressed? And, what has caused the oppression?
In answer to the first question, Father Burghardt sounds a solid "Yes." "But," he says, "Because it is such a subtle oppression, even the oppressors are blind to it." He points out five factors that clearly indicate the oppression: 1. Woman has been defined as a domestic animal. 2. Woman has been treated as a sex object. (The emphasis here is on "object".) 3. Opportunity has been unequal. 4. Our culture has been male dominated and male oriented. 5. Women until recently, have not played a significant role in the American decision making process. Father Burghardt pointed out that there exist some exceptions to these general statements, but that they are precisely that— exceptions: "Things are changing, but not quickly and not all over the world." He then went on to explain why the oppression exists. "It is a result of history and culture," said Father Burghardt. Tracing the oppression of women from Ancient Greek and Roman civilizations all the way through present day, he feels that such elements as faulty psychology, economic determinism, minconceived theology, and poor
communications are to blame. He also suggested that women are socially confined because men are not liberated, that is, because men are insecure. But how are we to solve this problem? Father Burghardt suggested six methods. 1. "Assert the primacy of the person." Pursue personhood before womanhood. 2. Do not center attention on the female physiology, but rather, strive to develop culture and the individual personality. 3. Work at refreshing and updating the theological concepts of the sexes. 4. Promote justice. 5. Strive for a "friendship" relationship between men and women. 6. Don't play down marriage; revise its outdated implications. "What I am advocating,"' said Father Burghardt, "is that women discover their personhood." Another controversial issue on which Father Burghardt spoke was "Evolution and the Bible." He presented this lecture Friday, April 21, to Mrs. Helen Savage's Philosophy 401 class and to the many people who chose to sit in on the class. As a starting point for his presentation. Father Burghardt
In a very light-hearted, amusing spoof on "Fiddler On The Roof," the senior class presented the highlights of their four years at Longwood at the Senior Assembly on April 18 in Jarman. Linda Crovatt was Joan of Arc, clinging desperately to tradition. The seniors snowed how traditions had changed since they had been here, and of course traditions which will never change. After the skit, the seniors sang some of the songs they had used throughout the year in color competition and then dedicated songs to each of the classes. The assembly brought closer the realization that the class of 78 will soon be leaving. Before the show, Dean James Gussett presented the ARC awards. These awards have been

pointed out that many students enter college with fairly sound Biblical training only to have it shattered when faced with a logical, scientific presentation of evolution. But, said Father Burghardt, 'science and the Bible are
perfectly compatible." To justify this statement, he outlined three points for discussion. "The first thing to realize," said Father Burghardt, "is that the Bible is the history of salvation, not a textbook of (Continued on Page 4)
Housing Concerns Expressed At Discussion
By MARY DL'NAVANT Fees for seniors, housing, resident assistants, and recreational facilities were the main issues under discussion during the press conference on Monday, April 17 in the I«mkford reading rooms President Willett said that those who will be student teaching can expect that semester of field work to cost more than any other.

Law Enforcement First For Campus Police By KAREN SHELTON "We could best be described as a service organization," said Chief Neil Smith when questioned about the responsibilities of the Ixmgwood College Campus Police. "There are few things that we will not do to assist students." Obviously, from the very beginning of the college, some type of guard and protecting agent has been necessary. In the beginning, there was only one man known as a WATCHMAN to carry out these responsibilities. His duties were just what his name implied-to patrol tht campus and lock doors As enrollment increased, so did the size of the police force. There were now two watchmen. Chief
Smith joined the force in 1956 as one of these watchmen. While he served as a watchman, Chief Smith said that "there was no coverage at all in the daytime. We only worked at night from about 5 p.m. to 6 a.m." All of the patrolling then was done on foot because the department ownec no cars. When there was a need for a car to transport a student to the infirmary or hospital, "we would borrow one of the campus cars for our duty then return it straight to the parking lot." The Campus Police force has now expanded to meet the needs of the growing campus community. There are eleven present officers comprising the force and giving 24 hour coverage seven days a week. Zero cars has
now become three. And the force has its own radio frequency on campus and also a radio that connects the office to all other police stations in the state. Campus Police have the same authority as any other police officers in Virginia. Their primary responsibilities are to enforce the law and assist the college in enforcing college regulations. Chief Smith concluded, "We are willing to do anything we can to make being here easier for students, but law enforcement naturally comes first."

Walden Pond Displayed By DEBBIE NORTHERN Clifton Jones, presently a senior at Ixingwood majoring in biology with an environmental science emphasis, recently completed a scaled model of Walden Pond. Jones did this as a project on a prose writer for his American Literature class under Dr. Jo Leslie Sneller. His degree from Southside Community College in Drafting Design and Technology, and his year and a half at Virginia Tech studying civil engineering and technology, greatly aided him
with the construction. He chose Henry David Thoreau because he agrees with Thoreau's views on nature and life style at Walden Pond. He commented, "I wanted to do a project that was different from the typical projects that were being presented." The structure is 3-4 pine with 14 birch siding and finished in walnut stain. Jones spent eight hours on his project. There were no problems with the actual building of it, but it was too large to fit through any of the doors so it was placed in the library.
McDonough And Petersen Selected By DEBBIE NORTHERN The lacrosse team traveled to William and Mary to play in the VAIAW tournaments held Friday and Saturday. The team played William and Mary and Piedmont Club on Friday and UVA on Saturday. Juli Dayton, Kim Garber and Wanda Petersen were asked to play for selection trials.

By BECKY BENNICK Summer vacation means many different things to different students; for Brenda Hester it means a trip to Italy. As a member of the Friendship Force sponsored by President Carter, Brenda will spend ten days in Genoa, Italy as a representative for the state of Virginia. She first heard about the tour while on Christmas break and decided to apply for the trip. After filling out a general application and going for interviews, Brenda was notified that she had been selected from over 600 applicants to be a member of the Friendship Force. To prepare for her trip, she has attended numerous seminars and is now learning to speak Italian. The purpose of the tour is to promote goodwill and friendship and to experience the lifestyle of another culture. While in Genoa, Brenda will stay with a host family; in exchange, a young person from Italy will come to stay with a host family in Richmond. As an English and communications major, Brenda feels it is very important to promote communication and cultural exchange. In her attempt to accurately portray the life of young Americans, she will spend two or three days at an Italian university talking about college life in America. But Brenda realizes that speech is not the only means of communicating—a friendly smile does a lot to promote goodwill. She hopes that through her interactions with her host family she will encourage the sharing of cultural ideas. Brenda is eagerly awaiting her May first departure date: "These are the ten most important days of my life."

70 Runners Compete In Minithon By DEBBIE NORTHERN About 70 runners competed in the first annual Hampden-Sydney to Longwood Minithon on Saturday. In the men's 25 and under division, James Alexander finished first with a time of 37:17 to lead a field of 25 runners. Wade Kirby with a 38:08 followed in second place. In the men's 26-39 class, Ray Gaskins led the field of 15 runners with the time of 39:59. He was followed by James Hilliard with 42:54.
The 40 and over men were led by first place winner R. K. Hubbard who completed the course in 42:50. George Jackson with a 43:03 followed. Donna Lowe, a Longwood senior, ran the course in 48:54 to win the 39 and under women's division. Shelly Schuyler placed second with 50:17. In the women's 40 and under division, Mary P. Brion placed first out of a field of three contestants. Extra tee shirts for this event will be sold today in the New Smoker.
Archery Team Second In State By CRICKET April 18 was the day for the Virginia State Archery Tournament. It was a beautiful day — if you happened to be a duck. The members of the Archery Team straggled into breakfast at 7 a.m., wondering if we were really going to shoot. We found out at 7:15. It was cloudy in Richmond, but it wasn't raining yet. All systems were go. Well, almost. The week before, Kaki Hicks broke her hand in gymnastics class. It was hoped that she would be able to shoot for the state meet, but no matter what we tried, Kaki just couldn't hold the bow comfortably. Besides Longwood and University of Richmond (Westhampton), James Madison University had both a men's and women's team and VPI & SU had a men's team competing. The teams had practice from 40, 50 and 60 meters. After a short meeting with the Lady Paramount, everyone was ready to shoot. The meet was just barely underway when two Irish setters came trotting across the field. There was a brief intermission while I took care of them. The rest of the morning went smoothly. After lunch, it was time for another Easton 600. Half way through, the rain from Farmville caught up with us. After much deliberation, it was decided that we would continue to shoot. The SCOREBOARD Tennis April 23 — Longwood 7, Bridgewater 2 Baseball April 12 — HampdenSydney 26, Ixmgwood 1 Men's Golf April 30 Longwood 347, Averett 351 (Tim White had 78, LC's lowest par)
rain eventually stopped — at just about the same time that the archers did. Everyone gathered inside for refreshments while the coaches added up the scores. The individual women's awards went to three Madison girls, and three boys from Madison took the individual men's awards. On the team awards, Madison's men took first, with the team from VPI & SU taking second. As for the women's teams, Westhampton placed third, Ijongwood second and Madison first. Individual scores for the morning were: Susie Powell — 390, Alda Brown - 258, Kathy Bique - 232, Marcia Gray - 245. Afternoon scores were: Kathy Bique - 281, Susie Powell - 272, Alda Brown - 269, Marcia Gray -252. Overall, the girls did real well. The team is fairly young and inexperienced, but I think that with lots of time, effort and determination, we'll be ready to roll next year!

FROM THE EDITOR . . "Headwind" And "Starbuck" Another semester will soon come to an end and we will depart for the summer. Some of us will return in the Fall. . .while others will not. They are the ones The Rotunda wishes to wish good-by and express thanks for all the good times had during this semester. To the seniors, we wish you the best of luck and hope that you will be successful and happy. You have added a lot to Longwood, but we who are left behind will carry on the traditions and help make Longwood become even better. Let us prepare for the challenge of welcoming the baby Red and Whites of the Class of 1982 and make them feel at home here. See you in the Fall. Have a great summer! Special Reminders: Summer school fees must be paid at registration. Get your library books back soon!
FROM CHI At the start of the academic year, CHI of 1978 printed a letter in The Rotunda explaining the meaning of the symbol that it uses. The ideals which the four columns of the Rotunda represent are actually a statement of the four aspects of college life that CHI supports: spiritual, intellectual, recreational, and social. Throughout this entire year, the group has tried to encourage participation and exellence in all of these areas as well as supporting the college and its activities. The spiritual life has been perhaps the most evident as it has been the most physical. Obviously, individual faith is a personal spirit and CHI seeks to support campus rather than religious enthusiasm. CHI has sought to generate spirit through its Oktoberfest projects — the cake, spirit banner, and fire banner — its Christmas "Spirit in the Sky," and by the numerous welcoming and congratulatory banners that have appeared in the Dining Hall. The intellectual side of Longwood College has been encouraged in several ways. The emergency loan fund is financed by CHI so that monetary needs cannot hinder education. CHI of 1978 has also funded an additional scholarship that was presented at the Awards Ceremony. Finally, CHI has tried to recognize and commend students with outstanding academic achievements. The recreational aspect of college life has been supported by banners at athletic events, plays, dance concerts, and other events. Commendations were awarded to teams, departments, and individuals. The most forceful step in this area was the CHI Symposium on Self Defense to insure personal safety in all actions. Finally, the social activities at Longwood College have been encouraged by the group. Because Longwood students achieve so much in this field, CHI has only sponsored college related events such as Oktoberfest and Spring Weekend. CHI has also tried to initiate student interest and participation in campus functions. Banners and support were visible at Song Fest, Sophomore Auction, and Oktoberfest tapping. Special flags were flown to enlist involvement in major-minor elections as well as the state elections. In short, CHI of 1978 has endeavored to uphold an ideal. Many of its projects have been new and unusual, but they have all carried concern and support for the student body in their novelty. CHI may represent an ideal, but its members are only human. Congratulations to all graduating students and good luck on exams.

"Back in the USSR" "Do You Feel like I Do," "Don't Stop Thinking About Tcmorrow," and "Listen to the Music" were among their first selections. A drum solo by Mike Tubb highlighted "Jumping Jack Flash" and E.B. Mears sang the golden oldie, "Johnny Be Good." Urged on by members of the audience, Headwind concluded

However, the audience called Starbuck back with a Longwood standing ovation and for their encore, Starbuck performed "Carry Me Home'' and "Going to Knoxville," which included a round of spoon playing by Bo Wagner. All in all Starbuck provided one of the best concerts in Jarman for a long time, because they played good time music for a good time crowd!

Students Opinions Of Teachers Expressed By BECKY BENNICK Student teaching is an important part of many Longwood students' educations. To help future teachers realize what characteristics high school students find important in their teachers, Jan Lane has conducted a survey of the tenth and twelfth grades of Carroll County High School. Jan was pleased with the 70 per cent return of the survey. She gave the students an opportunity to voice their opinions on teachers, and most of the students were enthusiastic to reply. The characteristics most students found important dealt with teacher-student relations. Phrases such as "listened to students," "Cared
about students," "knew the students," and "knew the students outside of class" were found in many of the responses. Jan pointed out that the school she surveyed was in a rural area where personal social contact is highly valued. Dr. J.L. Sneller's English Methods class, of which Jan is a part, spends a lot of time discussing the role of the teacher. Jan feels this outside project clearly reveals what the students expect: "they want the teacher to recognize them as individuals." Otht" aspects the students found important were the teacher's obvious enthusiasm about the topic, adequate preparation for the class, and the ability to stimulate and motivate the students.
Brown Attends Convention Alda Brown, a Longwood College sophomore from Richmond, attended the National Convention of Delta Psi Kappa, held in Kansas City, Missouri, April 5-7, where she was elected vice-chairman of the Student Interprovince Committee.

Delta Psi Kappa is a national physical education fraternity, affiliated with the American Alliance of Health and Physical
Education and the professional Panhellenic Association. The fraternity has some 49 undergraduate chapters and eight alumni chapters throughout the United States. Alda is a physical education major at longwood, a dean's list student, and is currently serving as vice president of the college's Intramural Activities Association.

By HI I I AH BOLDEN On April 13 the Psychology Club went on a field trip to Powhatan Correctional Center. The members who attended were Cassi Dearing, president; Beulah Bolden, vice-president; Evelyn Combs, treasurer; Betty Ann Davis; and David Talley; along with Dr. Ed Smith, sponsor, Ms. Phyllis Wacker; and Mr. David Stein. Dr. Fred Mallory, who is the director of the Treatment Program at the center, guided the club. The club ate a delicious dinner and then related with the Contact Extension Group, North Housing Unit, minimum security. Such expressions as "We are glad that you all came because it shows that someone on the outside i.s concerned and caring about us;" "We want to get ahead and are striving hard;" "The Correctional Center does not really correct;" "We are human;" and "The public needs to be educated about what the prisoner has to go through mentally and physically" were related. The club also came in contact with the Powhatan Correctional Center maximum security. Here, the prisoners' main concerns were employment, loss of voting rights, adjusting and competing with society. Both the minimum and maximum security prisoners stressed the fact that they tell it like it really is and that newspapers and television touch upon the surface about what prison life is like. Much insight was gathered from the field trip. It was a learning experience that broke into some of the curiosities of the club. The club plans many more such field trips next year and invites others to participate.

science." The Bible was not intended to answer scientific questions, but rather, "to tell the story of God's relationship with man." Once the individual has accepted this concept, he is ready to tackle the second point: what about error in the Bible? According to Father Burghardt, one must understand that the Bible encompasses many different genres; it is important to recognize which genre is being employed before one can distinguish if an error exists: "Literary form is important." He pointed out that the historical accounts should, by virtue of their genre, be exact in every detail. If they are not. then an error exists. But in the case of the book of Genesis and other books intended only to illustrate religious concepts, the words must not be taken literally. Just as a modern novel develops characters and themes but is not held as factually true, so too should the illustrative books of the Bible be free of "literal bondage." Father Burghardt's third point was that "the Book of Genesis is just an illustration. It's purpose was to show that the universe originated from God." Genesis did not attempt to explain in scientific terms the actual stepby-step intricacies of biological development; it merely asserted that behind the entire creative effort was a Creator. "Thus, in my mind," said Father Burghardt," there is no conflict between science and this theological concept."
