Former F.B.I. Agent Is New Campus Policeman By DEBBIE MOUL "FREEZE! F.B.I." And then what? — the tall, lanky man in blue saunters casually up to you and with a devilish grin on his face says "Hey! What can I do for Ya?" His name is Frankcel Woodson, but you can call him Frank. His beat — Ixmgwood College. Sure he was a special agent for the F. B. I., so what is he doing here? Well, sit back, relax, and listen to Frank's life story. It all started in Cumberland County when Frank graduated from Luther Porter Jackson High School. In June, 1963, he enlisted in the Air Force and went to Albany, New York. From New York, he went to Lackland, Texas for eight weeks of basic training. Frank was stationed for two years in Kansas City, Missouri and in Spangdehlem, Germany for two
years. In June of 1967, Frank said goodbye to the Air Force and went to work for J. Edgar Hoover in November. He had fourteen weeks of training in Quantico, Virginia. He was sent to the Academy as a police instructor. He started out as a fingerprint technician, "latent examiner". While living in Washington, D.C. and working for the F.B.I., Frank attended night school at Strayer College in D. C. It was here that he obtained a B.S. degree in Business Adminstration. In 1970, he entered the Public Relations field for the F.B.I. And after eight years, Frank made it to the top. He was now a Special Agent for the F.B.I., or 'G-man" as they prefer to call themselves. This only lasted for a year for v .*ank spoke his final "Freeze! F.B.I." and came home to
Cumberland County and to Ixnigwood. Frank Woodson is down-toearth, witty and most important, himself. He is married and the father of two girls, ages 7 and 15 months. Says Frank of his girls, "They're tough!" to which one might reply, "just like their daddy." He plays tennis, football, baseball, handball, racketball — a truly versatile athlete. He enjoys music and likes to dance. Says Frank "I like people. I like working with people. And I get along with just about everybody." He likes to treat people the way he wants to be treated. If you see someone in need, give them a helping hand. So go up and introduce yourself and the next time someone asks if you know Officer Woodson, you'll be able to say, "Oh, yea! Frank, the Old Friendly Cop'."
Technical Difficulties Mount In Border-Line Riot By BRIDGET SCHERZ — "Is anyone here taking Radio reported as seen aimlessly I^ast Tuesday, the afternoon and TV?' Isolated bands of the roaming around campus looking drowsiness that customarily frustrated "Soapers" were skyward "for aerials, you know." settles over the TV lounge in the New Smoker was rudely and abruptly splashed by border-line riot activity involving some 15 to 20 students. The apparent cause of the uproar was a seemingly unobtrusive television which unexpectly "gave up its signal" during a crucial part of the daytime serial "All My Children." According to a well informed source the incident occurred when Tara, one of the program's regulars, was ^/OC€€/^ teetering between death and prime-time's answer to guarenteed plot climax, the ever popular coma. The initial reaction was one of general alarm, which shaded briefly to a kind of amused perplexity which quickly ionized itself into vicious outrage when it was discovered that no one present knew how to fix the thing. DR. MICHAEL C. LUND Several solutions were Assistant Professor of English attempted however none to any avail. The first adjustment was made by a patient traditionalist who immediately went for the dials, but ultimately went berserk and was taken away, obThe Reader in Thackeray's iviously shaken, by other members of the group. A second Vanity Fair attempt was made when a student in sneakers began to And Elsewhere'i* deftly work the set over with her feet reminiscent of the Argentine Pele during exhibition. Again no luck. The final effort, also unsuccessful, came from a possible graduate from the Kung Fu School of TV repair and September 28, 1977, recyclement who began doing a little "body and fencer" work on the picture tube with a ragefully 7:30 p.m., Wygal tightened wad of fingers.

Hlad Enthusiastic About Teaching By FRANCES HALL Longwood is fortunate to have a new faculty member. Mr. Hlad hat now Joined the Sociology Department. A native of St. Louis, Missouri, he did his undergraduate work at Boston University and went on ano got his Master's Degree there He .spent the next few years in the service. After that, he worked at Harvard and later at Princeton where he obtained a second Masters degree. Mr. Hlad spent seven years teaching at Ohio University where he was named Outstanding Teacher in 1972. His last position was at Hucknell University in I/'wishing, Pennsylvania, where he taught for three years. Here at l>ongwood, Mr. Hlad is leaching three sections of introdu'-tory Sociology, in hopes of getting more students interested in the Sociology
Department. He is also teaching a course in criminology, deviance, and law. He feels that this is an interesting area for everyone since it deals with a subject on which "everyone has an opinion". However, Mr. Hlad considers himself to be "a fairly diffuse character" because he has interests in so many different areas of Sociology and has taught so many different courses in his field. Mr. Hlad is a fascinating person to talk with, mainly because he is enthusiastic about teaching and about his field. He is fascinated with Soliology and states that, "there are a variety of Sociologies". We are happy to have Mr. Hlad, his wife Harriet and their two sons, age eight and four yea's, with us in the community. Many lucky students will have the opportunity to find out about all these "sociologies" that Mr. Hlad referred to.
Near-Professional Actor Plays Stage Manager By BARBARA SLOUGH AndLEETATUM Every night that rehearsal for Our Town is being held, Lee Tatum drives from his job in Richmond to Longwood to prepare for his role as the stage manager and then home to Buckingham County. If you ask him why, the answer seems simple >el truthful, "it's (acting) something I've always been interested in." he states Bui acting, for Tatum, is more than just a passing interest. At one tune, he seriously considered n as B career and studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. There, he studied under one of the l>est dramatics teachers in the business with such people as Anne Bancroft and the star of the TV series Ben Casey. The lack of stability and security in the field soon led him to study psychologj at the University ol Virginia aft< r the Korean War. Although he had officially given up professional acting, however, he joined the Virginia Players at 11 Va. and won several awards during his college career.
After he received his degree, however, Tatum spent time behind the cameras creating commercials for television and radio until he landed his present job at a Richmond advertising agency. Now Tatum does occasional voice-overs for TV and radio. With his scheudle, he finds it exceedingly difficult to find the lime to participate in the production of plays. The last pai t Tatum played at longwood was the role of King Henry II in lion in Winter in November of 1972 for which he won the best actor award. However, tie first play he was in at longwood was Joan of Arc as produced by the Virginia Players Tatum would like to do more plays than just one every five years since he really enjoys working on a play. In his words. It's a lot of fun and you meet a lot of really nice people. Also. liOngwood lias a real fine drama department and a great stage. For me, he adds, it is as much fun lo do this plaj on this stage in Farmville as it was when I was In New York."

New Business Professor Interested In His Field
Mr. Dickens, newest addition to the Business department. Photo: Audrey Hinek By LINDA CARRILLO The new professor in the business department, Mr. Thomas Dickens, declared that the "whole business area is very interesting to me. I have been active in the stock market and have an interest in management because I have been in management positions before." Recently moving to Farmville from Richmond, Mr. Dickens was previously an administrative assistant at the secondary level, and for the past 8H years, he was an accountant. Mr. Dickens's classes include accounting, management, and marketing. Concerning job opportunities, the business teacher feels that
the business field is probably increasing, certainly as much if not more than the other fields." A trend that "is significantly having an impact on careers is the electronic equipment. I don't think I can look down the road to where computers will be running us." He hopes, though, to teach "an appreciation for this impact, an attempt to effectively use the computing capabilities we have available."Because he has recently been involved in the business world. Mr. Dickens plans to relate his experience to his teaching. He believes that there is 'a big difference between talking about the way things are in the classroom and the actual doing." In reference to the conflicts between a class and a career, Mr. Dickens stressed that he was "a great believer in the case method. Try to draw from real life, real business situations; look at them, analyze them, and determine what you would do." As a first-year teacher, Mr. Dickens feels that the "best thing that I can give to my students in management and marketing is to try to bridge the gap between the theory we talk about in class and the practice of the theory."

Goldsmith Speaks Of
Oceanography Class Learns About Sea
London Guild By DEBBIE MOUL On Wednesday evening, Peter Gainsbury, the Director of Research at the Worshipful Co. of Goldsmith's in Ixmdon added the final touch to an interesting afternoon of lectures and exhibits on jewelry and metalsmithing. Bedford Auditorium yielded a large audience consisting of IiOngwoud students, professors from the Art Department and visiting students from Virginia Commonwealth University. Gainsbury, seemingly at ease and very comfortable with the audience began with an informative talk on the Worshipful Co. of Goldsmiths. The Co or rather the Livery Co. or Guild of Goldsmiths has been in existence since the 14th century. It wasn't until 1327 that the company received the Royal Charter, the year that the company officially commenced. The worshipful Co. is celebrating their 650th Anniversary this year, 650 years of success and outstanding achievements. The original livery companies were concerned with the elections of sheriffs and I.<ord Mayors. In the company, the position of freeman could only be attained through marriage to a freeman's daughter, previous employment in the position or election to the position. The Co. is governed by a court and-or system. They consist of four wellbalanced men; one in four must be with the trade, goldsmithing. The Worshipful Company today has a number of functions and involvements, one of these being trusts and charities. The Co. donates $2-3 million dollars a year to various trusts, a most admirable quality. A Char of the Pyx exists; concern with mints and coinage. For every 5000 coins made, one coin is placed in the •Pyx Box," the purpose being to verify the number of coins saved (Continued on Page 8)
Life From Field Trip By JAN TURNER Wednesday, Sept. 21 The day had finally arrived! No classes or homework for three days because our oceanography class was leaving for the Eastern Shore! The bus was to leave at 6 a.m., and didn't until 6:30 because of Whitney, John, and myself. John's car stalled out on our way over to the science building, so we had to drag our gear all the way there. That's not my idea of having fun at six o'clock in the morning! We all made it though, but barely! It was pitch black outside, and most people went back to sleep. Our first stop was on a beach in Yorktown. We lloked at and jellyfish, and various other animals we could find. It was so good to get away from Farmville for awhile! We stayed there around forty-five minutes, then loaded on the bus again, which was headed for Gloucester Point. There, we saw the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and took samples of fish and plants from the water. It was hilarious I
seeing everybody in waders, which made them look as though they were wearing barrels. We had to go out into the water about waist-high and drag nets. I believe what we were doing was called seining. If not, I'm sure Dr. Batts will be happy to correct me! We learned how to work some oceanography equipment, then got back on the bus to eat lunch. I forgot to mention one very important thing — Ginger sprung B leak in her waders! Our next stop was at the Kenneth Rice Fossil Pit. It looked like the Grand Canyon — it was huge! We stayed there an hour or so and dug up fossils, millions of years old. I didn't find anything important, but it was really interesting — and tiring too. After that, we stopped in Hampton at a Chinese-American Restaurant. Not that I'm partial to the Chinese, but I ordered an all-American seafood platter. I ate until I could hold no more, because I knew I wouldn't get anything like that from the Slater food service! Everyone else ordered either Chinese or

American food, and seemed to enjoy it enough to have rolaids for dessert! Then wt boarded the bus again, which took us to our final destination, Watchapreague. We would be there two nights. I figured the time to be around 8:30 when we got to Watchapreague. Our cottage looked quite nice! All the girls had to sleep upstairs in room "C," and the guys were in room "E." The bunkbeds didn't look too comfortable, but my sleeping bag would fix that. Around 9:30, Dr. Batts and Mr. Austin decided to show films. No-not 'Blazing Saddles," but "The Million Dollar Salt Marsh" and some other fibn whose name I can't remember. We had been up almost 16 hours with no sleep, and I was more than ready to go to bed, as almost everyone else was. Afterwards, Joan and I took a walk to get a little more familiar with the town, then I came back and went to s'eep. Thursday, Sept. 22 At 6:35 wc were awoken by loud knocks on the door. At first I didn't want to get up, but the smell of bacon quickly changed my mind! One odd thing had occurred during the night Ginger had a nightmare about some of the bugs we had caught, and cried out "what is this''" Today we went out into the bay and salt marshes on two open boats. Oiie of the driveis was extremely nice-looking, and all girls got on his boat! Our excitement died down a little when we discovered the ring on his left hand. We caught two huge flounders, crabs, spot, and even a skate and two rays! I ate my first raw clam — dug it up out of the sand, opened it, and carefully gulped it down. Not bad! Near the
end of the day we got out of the boat and walked through sail marshes, picking perriwinkles off the spartina alternifiora' That's another name for smooth cordgrass. We were all soaking wet and freezing after being out in the water all day, and were glad when we headed back to the house. When we got back, we cleaned the fish, cooked it, and enjoyed eating all of it! That was by all means a gourmet meal! We sat around and talked most of the night, then went to sleep. Friday, Sept. 23 We got up around 7:30 I think, and then ate breakfast Afterwards we cleaned up and prepared to leave for Fort Story, in Virginia Beach. After scrubbing pots and pans and mopping floors, we loaded everything, including us, onto the bus. We crossed the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, and got to Fort Story near 11:00. The first thing we had to do was observe the waves and their patterns. Then Dr. Batts asked us to find some beach clams and ghost crabs. We were finally able to take our shoes off and had to roll up our pants, unless we wanted to Met soaking wet again. About an hour later, we arrived at MacDonald's, where I made the mistake of ordering a fish fillet. I had been eating and talking fish for three days! We soon found ourselves back on the bus heading towards Farmville. Th»s had surely been a nice trip, and a nice vacation from our regular school routine! I wish we could have stayed there longer. Everyone in our class knows each other on a friendlier basis now, SO I'm looking forward to seeing them all again on Monday!

The Imposition Of Opinions <
And Values By DAVE PHILLIPS There are those people in any society who find it necessary, in fact imperative, to force their opinion and values upon others Throughout history every social conflict and distrubance can be traced to people of this nature. They are opinionated, dogmatic, narrow minded and archaic in regarding their values, beliefs and morals. They are zealously over ambitious. They can be found anywhere. Even h°re at l/mgwood people can be founa who suffer from this particular disorder. For example, le' us take I.ongwood's own Judicial Board into consideration. Last Thursday night (Sept. 22) they
reviewed the case of a student who had been caught with a small amount of marijuana in his room. It antagonized no one, it imposed on the rights of no one. It was meant simply for personal, private consumption and use. For this horrible crime against nature, the board handed down a one and a half year suspension. Apparently not satisfied with mangling one person's career and wrecking havoc on his personal life, three of these true believers (excuse me, members of "The Board") then proceeded to the first floor of South Cunningham dormitory. There they declared that girls on the second floor had complained of smelling the odor of burning
hemp. It was so bad that "...their eyes stung." The absurdity of this and other statements made by these three board members extends beyond my comprehension. All of this over the drug which a Presidential Commission recommended legalizing and described as being no more harmful or detrimental than tobacco or alcohol. News travels slowly through the backwoods of southern Virginia. Says Carolyn Wells, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College, "I am happy for you that you have chosen to become a part of our Ixmgwood experience." It's been an experience all right. An experience in time-back fifty years.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Double Jeopardy Dear Editor, Wo would like to take a moment or two to comment on the recent harassment of Karl Peterson First of all, since when is double jeopardy commonplace'.' At l-ongw.)od it is beginning to appear like a persons' rights are not being upheld or protected by i he law but more or less crucified by it. When should a person be tried for the same offense twice'.' We thought that 1-ongwood had a Judicial system set up to protect Students and to handle situations that arise within the college. (iranted, informants went to the I own police without going through student judiciary procedures but in this case we feel that the campus should have had nothing to do with it other than to be aware of it. However as things turned out Karl Peterson was brought before Jucicial trial through the 1-ongwood system and in our opinion he was found guilty before the trial even began. We feel there could be many reasons why he it as guilty before trial.
The main reason is that we think the board consists of many students who don't appreciate males now abundant on this campus. Therefore we feel that negative feelings toward the iccused were prevalent. Secondly, although police were brought in to produce evidence none was brought out to fulfill that purpose. Another aspect of the trial is that the oolice were brought in to produce evidence against Karl and a member of the faculty was not even allowed in to speak on his behalf. Where can any of this be justified? Another thought recorded here is that many students are beginning to think that all of the board members including legislative and Residence board members are actually puppets of the deans and not individuals that have the ability to make up their own minds. The deans may say jump and the boards will probablycome back with how high? As a final note we would like to thank Kathy Barcalow for standing for Karl's def ;nse...even though we feel she was fighting a losing battle. Also we would like to thank the many
friends who stood behind Karl. It is unfortunate that the attempts made by these people were to no avail. We will all miss him. Thank you, Twinkie Plant Charlotte Williamson
Judicial Board Questioned Dear Editor, On September 8, Karl Peterson's dormitory room was searched for drugs without his being present. The next day he was arrested, charged with possession of marijuana and paraphenalia, taken to Farmville jail and told his trouble would be greatly lessened if he gave the names of other people that he knew used drugs. Upon refusing, he was issued a summons to appear at county court in October. Soon after, he was summoned to appear before Ix)ngwood Judicial Board, which he did on September 22. At the Judicial Board trial, police IX. Webb testified, saying

that Peterson's room was searched in part for ten bottles of morphine. No morphine was found in Peterson's rocm and Peterson had no knowledge of any morphine. But the officer's loose testimony served to make utterly groundless connections between Peterson and the hard drug that he had no knowledge of whatsoever. Not wanting to divulge the details of the incident and thereby prejudice his later trial in county court, Peterson followed his lawyer's instructions and pleaded the fifth amendment to the questions put to him by the Judicial Board. Upon doing this he was interrogated rapid-fire fashion to trick him into breaking his fifth amendment right. The Judicial Board's decision was to suspend Peterson for a year and a half. So what do we have? A student's room is searched without his being present. An attempt is maue to bully him out of his constitutional rights. Ixwse and groundless implications are made about him in court without examination when the defendant is powerless to defend himself without prejudicing his later case in county court. lastly, the student is given an ultrastrict punishment-for what? The charges were unclear. No accusers were named or present. The confiscated evidence was not ever present to show the Board what and how much the defendant had possessed. Why was a trial held at all, except for the sport of it? It seems Peterson was guilty until proven innocent, anyway-and proving is so tiresome a technicality. Is this an example of the rights that all of us, as students at Longwood College, can expect? Can we accept that at any time we may go back to our rooms to find them being searched? And if ever we are called before Judicial Board, perhaps, before we show, we should do some heavy praying. I think all of us, as Longwood students, should closely examine the present workings of the Judicial Board and its members. The Judicial Board is a necessary function. But are its members performing their functionv Are they keeping juf'.ice or playing power games that condone harassment? If they are playing
power games, who are they playing them on? Whoever they happen to prefer. All of us. You. Dan Corrie
Thank You letter to the Editor: I've always known that 1-ongwood has the greatest girls from all around, but the teamwork and willingness to help in an emergency is overwnelming. One of our girls had been hurt and everyone thought it was just a minor injury. However as the night progressed, she became ill. As the girls heard about her, they came to help in every way they could. They left parties, studies, and preparations for going home for the weekend. Their concern and help was so unselfish and loving. There were others who were not students who were helpful. We are most grateful to them also. We are in an age when we feel that the world has become hardened to people's needs. This is not the case at longwood. Again sincere thanks, Ann Johnson
Irrational Behavior To the Editor: I am writing this letter to complain about the unnecessary and inconvenient searches that are taking place this year at longwood. An example of this irrational behavior of accusing students by members of the Judicial and Residence Boards was displayed at 2:00 Sunday morning. I was awakened by a high member of the Residence Board who was angry at someone who stole her beer. The board member was violently kicking on my suitemate's door and screaming foul language. This was so loud that I thought that the commotion was at my door. By the time I got out of bed, the campus police were on the scene with two members of the Judicial Board. The two Board members has a college search warrant for (Continued on Page 8)

From Circus To Oktoberfest
The Circus Conies To Town By DEBBIE MOUL Clowns and their rib-tickling antics, fresh buttery popcorn, light fluffy cotton candy, and Lisa, the Elephant—they all spell circus. At least that's how Doc Boas of Circus Kirk spells it. Circus Kirk, a three-ring all student circus is coming to Ixmgwood on October 5. Where else can you see 100 volts of electricity pass through the body of the "electric girl" or pet a boa constrictor? Acrobats, high wire performers, clowns, jugglers and many more and they're all teenagers spending their summer vacation in the magical world of a traveling circus. Circus Kirk began in 1958 when Dr. Charles W. Boas, Professor of Geography at York Pennsylvania College came up with the idea of pioducing an all student, threering, tented traveling show. It took ten years for his dreams to materialize. 'Kirk" is Scottish for church, derived from the circus' former association with the Lutheran Church. Doc Boas had been a press agent and a clown for the Ringling Brothers. Circus Kirk has a 52 member cast, high school and college

Chris Legnaioli At Coffeehouse Provided Poetry In Music By BRIDGET SCHERZ 'The hardest thing about performing is what you say in between." To someone who can't execute "Where Have All the ^lowers Gone" on the guitar without getting debriefed by a physical t! .rapist, what Chris legnaioli said at the snack bar the other night seemed to be more than just a bit of a paradox. Flanked by a six and a twelve
string guitar at the coffeehouse Thursday night, Chris seemed more at home playing his music than with a lot of "talky" interludes in between. His choice of songs as well as his style reflect what he considers now to be an almost traditionalist concern for poetry in music. Glancing down a Coke dampened list of "musical groceries" the performer scribbles down to organize his thoughts, I noticed quite a few folk-rock staples among them. In fact, he builds his set primarily from such artists as Dylan, Chapin, Fogelberg, Denver and the Beatles, relying on tone, rather than style for variation. This selection and sequencing of his music is perceptive of the different types of audience involvement in a coffeehouse. During some songs such as "Country Roads," people took a musical intermission from swigging and munching to sing along with Chris, and at other times he strummed a mellow background to quiet conversations. More often he was their personal balladiere as when he sang Michael Murphy's "Wildfire" as if it were his own. A first year student at VCU, Chris studdied music, first through lessons, then independantly, for 13 years. Besides playing with Blue Ridge, a regular RED LYON band, he is an active veteran of the Richmond bar circuit having played in such places as the onetime Gandalf Staff's. He sees his persuit of a Business degree as a good professional asset in providing his own promotional
and managing needs of which he already has taken charge. Having written one completed song, "A Part of Me Is Gone," (Chris is strictly a "melodyman,'* like many of u^ is more often than not "ai a loss for words") he respects the ability involved in the crafting of a successful song one that successfully says something about its writer. Not a theatrically egotistical pei former — or a musician willing to compromise his own standards for the sake of having something to sell, Chris Iiegnaioli defines a successful concert as something that is experienced from both sides of the mike, "you have to please them, and please yourself."
By DEBBIE NORTHERN This year will be the golden anniversary of a yearly fall festival at Longwood. Throughout the 50 years this festival has evolved into wha! is now referred to as Oktoberfest Weekend. The first celebration was Circus, which originated as a carnival sponsored by the Farmville Chapter of the Alumni Association held in December of 1925. But Circus did not become a yearly event until December 10, 1927 when it was sponsored by the Joan Circle of Alpha Delta Rho of the State Teacher's College. School organizations were Invited to put on ring shows, with a prize offered to the best performance. The event, held in the gym. featured, according to the November 30, 1927 Rotunda, a "parade, side shows, freaks, ring performances and all of the animals which anyone might expect to see at a circus." The highlight of the night came with the crowning of Anne Ferree as the Circus Queen. The queen was elected by the student body, but the winner was not revealed until Saturday night. Afterwards a grand parade was held and the Hampden-Sydney Orchestra played for the dance which lasted until 11 p.m. Delta Sigma Chi won the $5.00 prize for their circus performance. The Choral Club and French Circle took Honorable Mentions. The Rotunda called Circus the ■first big cooperative project which has been given in the school." The Second Annual (CollegeCircus was held November 3,1928 with Margaret Leonard as Ringmaster. The Junior Class won the ring show prize and Mabel Fitzpatrick was crowned Queen. This Circus was held in the same pattern as the previous one. It was not until 1935 that Circus was held in October and Alpha Kappa Gamma sponsored the event. Students showing high degrees of spirit and leadership ability were honored by being named to the positions of Ringmaster, Animal Trainer, and Carnival Chairman. Guiding themes and an addition of a day were added in the 1940's. In the 1950's Usherettes were chosen from
each of the classes. In 1966 Alpha Kappa Gamma joined the National Society of Mortar Board, thus changing its name to Geist. which is the German word for spirit. Geist changed Circus to Geist Festival, which was made a weekend affair instead of just one night The expanded event featured a midway, an art exhibit, hocke\ games, color rush, and an H20 Club show. Geist wanted to stress excellence in class skits, not competition, and to promote campus spirit. The first Oktoberfest was held on October 25-27, 1968 sponsored by Geist. Oktoberfest was baaed on the German festival and made as authentic as possible. Fifteen units paraded down the streets on Friday. Saturday's events included the Fort Lee Army Band in concert, a midway composed of 24 booths behind the dining hall, with an additional theme midway composed of seven booths around Tabb Circle; and a hockey game between the Alumni and the Varsiu team. Color skits took place on Friday and Saturday nights. The first Oktoberfest Usherettes were Ann Ailor. Tricia Bates. Susan Davenport. Shorti Marconi, Cindy Jamison. Sybil Prouse, Ann Bristol, and Merb Richardson. Their responsibilities were to do I lie shoe lap ian authentic German dance I at color skits, cut the cake in Ininkford. and man the Geist booth Mitienmeisier was Pal Cloonan who lead the parade, manned the information booth and announced the winners at skits Saturday night. Feslmeister was Dillard Vaughan who was Mistress of Ceremonies at the skits. This Oktoberfest also featured the walk of old Chi, and a Sunday powder puff football game sponsored by the Young Republicans. At the second annual Oktoberfest, the colleges first meeting of parents and alumni was held. The Fort I-ee Hand played again and the midway booths totaled 38. In the hockey games Ixmgwood won over the Richmond Club, but lost to the Alumni. Throughout the years Oktoberfest has become a major school event, keeping the same basic form as when it originated in 1966.
Donna Athey: Artist In Residence ByLISACUMBEY It was dark when I walked through the front door of Bedford. As my eyes adjusted to the brightness of the corridor, I spotted a girl with a big smile and long, shining brown hair, sprawled on the floor. She was concentrating on a silk-screening project; her materials were scattered about on the floor around her. I figured this had to be the girl I was looking for. I introduced myself and asked if she was Donna Athey. I wasn't surprised that she was. Donna is the artist who painter' the English mural in the lower dining hall. She also painted the
Art-Nouveau flower mural in the snack bar. She said she was asked to do the one in the lower dining hall, and the advisement of Miss Bishop (who Donna proudly claims is a genius) painted it during the latter part of last year and the early part of this semester. She says she spent about 54 hours on it. She has done murals before, "...a winter scene for a store back home." She Qoesn't know if she will be asked io do any more murals for this school, but she has her own ideas about what she wants to do for herself. "I'd love to open a store—just a little shop—and sell all kinds of Art." She would do very well in this trade with only
her own work she is extremely versatile in her types of art, her media and her subject matter. She showed me some work she had submitted in applying for a scholarship; there was everything from a brass necklace with hand-made links to a pastel drawing of a hobby horse to a wooden bread-box with a copper front to yarn crafts to..well, you get the picture. Donna loves Ixmgwood, and says she would recommend it to any Art Majors. "Not only does it have a good Art Department," she brags, "but it also has a nice, friendly air about the entire school."

Last Thursday brought double defeat as both varsity and junior varsity played the University of Virginia. With UVA dominating the first half, both teams stood scoreless at the end of the half Ungwood was scoreless, but refused to give up.

Women's Volleyball Gains Momentum By MARGARET HAMMERSLEY This year's varsity volleyball team has been in practice since the beginning of September, preparing for their first game on the 30th. The team will travel to Lynchburg College to participate in an Invitational Tournament. Coached by Ms. Price, and managed by Barbvara Greer, the team consists of 16 members, 10 of which are returning players. Returning are Becky Allen, a sophomore from Fairfax, Virginia; Julie Allen, a senior, from Newport News; Debbie Brown. a junior from Charlottesvil'e; Kaye Carter, a sophomore from Christiansburg; Meg Cook, a sophomore from Salem ; Teri Dunnivant, a junior from Pulaski; Linda Eagle, a junior from Lynchburg; Terry Johnson, a junior from Franklin; Caty Rafferty, a junior from Virginia Beach; Cindy Thomas, a sophomore from Roanoke; and Rhonda Woody, a sophomore from Rocky Mount. The teams three new freshmen are Theresa Harris from Appomattox, Margie LaReau from Lynchburg, and Sherry Will from Madison Heights. Sophomore newcomers include Jean Rosemlein from New York and Cindy Smith from Appomattox. Coach Price sees the team as
looking stronger as a team now than they did at this time last year. She looks to the number of returning players as a strength, gel realizes that the same situation occurs at other colleges. She has cited George Mason University, William and Mary and Eastern Mennonite as the toughest expected competition. Mr. Price commented "I am anticipating an exciting season this year, and am confident we will be ranked among the top teams in the small colleges.
(OCVBCK When Erbe left the OCVBl coach the Adidas team, Debbie went with him. At age 16 she played on Erbe's team, a winning team in the United States Volleyball Association Nationals Competition. She also played on the American team participating in the Mexico World Championships. l^ast year Erbe and Debbie made another move, to the University of Southrrn California. And she plays there today. Debbie practices for hours dairy, for one goal — the 1980 Olympics. Already Debbie has a list of travels and victories to her credit. She toured Korea when with the Adidas Club, and will repeat the tour this summer. In addition she will play in Japan, Hawaii, and Brazil. Like Debbie, Erbe is looking to qualify a women's team for the 1980 Olympics. Erbe is National team trainer. He is looking to high school athletes for recruitment. He commented to Women Sports, "Our greatest resourse, as yet untapped, is the American female athlete".
Women's volleyball is gaining momentum and recognition in the United States. At age 18 the Korean born Debbie Green is one of several women in the sport's spotlight. According to Volleyball Magazine. Debbie's skill and desire for volleyball was not innate. In the beginning of her development, she recalls no desire for the sport, only accompanying her father to socially oriented games.

PGA And World Golf Tides By DEBBIE NORTHERN The winner of the August 59th PGA Championship in Pebble Beach, California and the 1977 World Series of Golf is I^nny Wadkins, 27 year old native Richmonder. He has also won two CBS Golf Classics and various other tournaments. For the first time in the history of the Big Four Classics (Masters, U.S. Open, British Open, and National PGA), there was a sudden death playoff. Those tied for the title in the PGA were Gene littler. Jack Nicklaus, and I*inny Wadkins. littler had lead the Tournament until the final day and it looked like he would be the winner. But Littler fell back into a tie with Nicklaus, with Wadkins only one stroke behind. The next day found all three contenders tied for top honors with totals of 282. Wadkins knocked them rest of the field out of the competition in the sudden death play off holes. Wadkins started touring in 1972
and earned more than any other rookie for that year, $116,616. He won the U.S. Amateur in 1970 I littler I,ad won it 17 years before). Due to a gall bladder operation, Wadkins dropped to 54th on the money list in 1974 and to 88th the following year with $23,582. His recent comeback has included winning the PGA Championship and the World Series of Golf during I,abor Day week end. By capturing a World Championship, a 72 hole Tournament which was held at the Firestone Country Club in Ak-on Ohio, he won the $100,000 purse.

At the conclusion of the games the coach commented on the "inconsistency" of play. She felt that the teams were equal in skill, but UVA "got some breaks at the goal."

are just a few of the functions and concerns of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. The days events were most interesting and informative. Jewelry instructors from various colleges and universities presented slides and delivered lectures on the art of jewelrymaking. Mr. Gainsbury spoke that evening about various jewelry techniques and presented slides of the Goldsmith's Hall in IiOndon and of various items connected with the Worshipful Co. He found the exhibits most enchanting and the people participating to be very down-toearth. He is seeking sponsorship for research on things concerning the silver industry for the benefit of the industry. The evening was a success, both for Mr. Gainsbury and for those that attended, for everybody benefited from the lecture and the slide presentation. Anyone that took the time to look and to listen will undoubtedly concur with this.
Letter To The Editor (Continued from Page 4) my suitemate's room. I overheard that they were going to search my room too. This infuriated me. I asked why and what grounds they had to search my room and the two Board members replied that since my room was connected to theirs, I might have drugs or the stolen beer in my room. I informed them that I did not, and that I had been asleep until the noise in the wall awakened me, and they seemed cynical to the fact that I was losing sleep because of the incident and opposed the search, but let them do it because the Honor Code says I have to. Therefore my room was searched without my willing consent. The two Board members were ineffecier.t in their search and the manner in which they performed it. They did little more than take my room apart. Their search of my room was useless, because nothing was there to be found. The Student Handbook on page nine states that a search may be conducted "by members of the Judicial or Residence Boards if preliminary investigation warrants the search." If the two Board members have the power to search rooms without due cause, then the students of I -ongwood can have their rooms searched at any time and this is against our Constitutional rights. There was no preliminary investigation. The Board members came and searched the two rooms and found nothing that they were looking for. drugs or stolen beer. This is just one example of the overpowered Judicial and Residence Boards. A few females have the power to search a room without due cause and not caring about whose room they search, what time the search takes place, or who gets in their way. Before I came to Longwood, just like everyone else here, I read about the friendly atmosphere and nice people that live and study here. If this is the type of friendly way of life that students can expect when they enter Longwood, they should know about this way of life before' they come. Friendliness is part of the Longwood tradition, and that tradition must stop when the select students issue warrants without just cause. One of many concerned students. John P. Trout
