Warrants Chief Topic At Student Government Forum By NANCY HEWINS Warrants, search and seizure were the chief topics discussed at the Student Government Forum held Thursday, November 9. The informal meeting is conducted once every semester in order for students to offer suggestions and direct questions toward the chairmen of the Legislative, Judicial and Residence Boards. When asked to explain the Judicial Board's search
procedure chairman Petie Grigg said a warrant must be issued by Dr. Henry I. Willett, Sr. If an offense is committed at night, the Chairman must telephone Dr. Willett at his home and describe the details of the need for the warrant. After Dr. Willett's verbal permission is given, investigators and a campus policeman go to the dorm room where the offense has been committed. While the room is being searched, campus police

drive to Longwood Estates to retrieve the warrant from Dr. Willett. Technically the warrant is in effect while the room is being searched, but it is a matter of time before the warrant will be in the investigator's hands. When asked if the search policy of the Judicial Board is a direct invasion of the student's privacy, Miss Grigg responded, "students consent to us searching their rooms and relinquish the right of total privacy when they agree to come to this school." Miss Grigg emphasized that the three Government Boards do not "look for students to turn in" and said, "We're not after anybody." Miss Grigg also stressed the Judicial Board does not search a student's room unless solid evidence has been placed at her disposal prior to the search. A member of Residence Board said out of 23 proposals submitted to the administration to change existing policies on campus, all 23 were rejected. The Residence Board surveys distributed last week will give the board an idea of how students feel on certain issues at Longwood. The surveys will be used as evidence to show the percentage of students who want a policy changed, such as open house hours. Residence Board meetings are held Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. and Legislative Board meetings are held Mondays at 7:00 p.m. Both Boards meet in the Reading Rooms in the Lankford Building.

Administrators Discuss Contracts By MELODY CRAWLEY Constant questioning of students at Press Conferences has led to the Rotunda's request to review several school contracts. The questions, which were always tabled, were concerned with three major contracts: ARA (Automatic Retailers of America) Food Service Co., 0. Wayne Harper, and Glenn Electronics Service. In a meeting with Jimmy H. Paul, Business Manager; Dr. William J. Peele, Vice President for Administration; and Miss Terri Swann, Administrative Assistant to Vice President for Student Affairs, the contracts were revealed and discussed. The contract with ARA was revised in August, 1974 at which time the Service was the lowest bidder. This year there was a six per cent increase in the cost making it $525.44 per student ($16.42 a week for 21 meals). Concerning the contract with ARA, Mr. Paul stated, "I truly
believe that ARA is tops in its field." Mr. Paul also said that he believed in open management and that maybe something could be worked out for students to visit other colleges concerning the food service. The service is free to work out its own meal plans, however they must submit a menu to the college one week in advance. They are also at liberty to do their own buying through their center in Greensboro, N.C. The college does buy the milk and cereal, which ARA then buys. This is only because the school can buy it cheaper. It was also explored that there is never more than a two or three day supply of food kept on campus. Studies have been made into converting from family style service to cafeteria service. ARA estimates the cost to be around one and a half million dollars. Concerning the question asked at last month's Press Conference (Continued on Page 8)

President Henry I. Willett, Jr. answered these charges at the October 31 faculty meeting. He stated, "There is no on-going policy on the part of the college which would give differing groups a different percentage of increase in a given year. On the other hand, in any given year various groups or subgroups or individuals may receive a per cent increase which varies from that received by others."

Rash Of Fires Continues By DONNA SIZEMORE A small kitchen fire and an electrical fire added to I-ongwood's growing list of fire hazards. On November 5th at 11:16 p.m. an electrical fire occurred in Cox. The fire was first discovered by David Wall who noticed smoke coming from the boiler room. The boiler room was locked. Wall proceeded to contact Kathy Bique, the fire warden. Campus police were notified, and they unlocked the boiler room door. The fire was extinguished and no injuries were received. On Monday, November 6th, at 6:40 a kitchen fire took place in
Frazer. The fire was discovered by Laura Smyth. She noticed smoke coming from a trash can on ninth floor. She contacted the resident assistant, but they were unable to control the blaze. Miss Laura Allen, the assistant resident supervisor, was then contacted. The alarm was pulled as she and Mr. Dave Suchanic, an area coordinator, went to the scene of the fire. As the building was evacuated, they extinguished the fire. It was found that some people had been cooking in the kitchen and that something thrown into the trash eventually began the fire.
Introduced By CINDY CUMINS "Three plus two" and "two plus two" become more than simple addends when viewed in light of a program now available to Longwood students. They represent separate phases of a pre-engineering program which functions cooperatively between Longwood and Old Dominion University. Initiated about a year ago, the program is the result of faculty interest in expanded programs offerings for students. Under the direction of Dr. R. Fawcett, Associate Professor of Science, the new plan already has solicited the interest of more than 30 perspective students. A five-year program, the "three plus two" plan enables students to earn dual degrees: one in physics from Longwood and another in engineering from ODU. Upon completion of three years or 102 hours of requirements at Longwood the student may transfer to ODU the summer before his fourth year. Completing Longwood requirements his first year at ODU, he then may earn a degree in physics from Longwood. After completion of a fifth year, he is then eligible to receive a degree in civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering from ODU. The two plus two plan enables students to earn an engineering degree in any area from Old Dominion University. Recommended for students wellprepared in mathematics, this plan requires 68 hours of Longwood requirements (two years), followed by a transfer to ODU the summer prior to their junior year. There, the student may complete two years' requirements and earn a B.S. degree in any of the three areas of engineering. The program, which is composed entirely of existing courses, requires no additional staff or funding. Fawcett, who is enthusiastic about the program's success, feels it will be beneficial to many areas of campus curriculum. "Because the requirements of the program encompass a large range of disciplines, I anticipate that it should be beneficial to many departments of the college. I'm very enthusiastic about the program and its success."
possible salary increases, we have given a figure which is an anticipated average increase for all applicable employees," he added Willett does not believe he misled the faculty in any way. This college policy was discussed and reaffirmed by the Board of Visitors when they met November 2-3 according to Willett. The average administrative increase from 1977-78 to 1978-79 is 100 per cent. The estimated increase for the same time frame is 8.0 to 8.5 per cent. Willett feels that when it is finally computed, any differences between the two groups will be pretty minimal. Willett emphasized that this year the ten per cent administrative average increase included one individual who changed jobs, classifications and received a promotion. If he was removed, Willett believes that there would be almost no difference between the administration and faculty averages. The AAUP reported that the average salary increases for continuing faculty members for the 1977-78 year, as reported by the Administration was: Professors 6.8 per cent, Associates 6.5 per cent, Assistants 7.2 per cent and Instructors 7.1 per cent. Despite these raises, the AAUP alleges that last year Longwood fell further behind the benchmark colleges. In fact, Longwood is near the bottom of the
benchmarks in all categories. Benchmark schools are defined by the State Council of Higher Education. Willett explained that each college is permitted to select from groupings of public institutions in the United Stated with similar characteristics. When Longwood selected a benchmark group it selected those colleges that paid the highest in America. Longwood pays 88 to 89 per cent of the benchmark. Only the University of Virginia meets it benchmark average, says Willett. According to Willett, the Longwood Board of Visitors took action November 2 to request appropriate state officials, while allocating funds for 1979-80, to consider increasing the percentage for those colleges and Universities that lag behind the benchmark. In Willett's "Policy statement on Administrative Salaries," issued November 1, 1978, he states, "In examining salary increases over the past four years, you will find that in the first two of those years, administrative increases were greater than faculty. Two years ago, the faculty increase was greater than the administrative increase." In comparison to other comparable schools in Virginia, Longwood's faculty salaries are higher than Mary Washington or Mary Baldwin, but fall behind (Continued on Page 7)
Cardwell Changes From Business To Classroom ByJODIKERSEY and MELODY CRAWLEY Dr. J.D. Cardwell has been introduced to Longwood as the new chairman of the Sociology and Anthropology Department. Dr. Cardwell has previously been in the business world, but is ready to take on the challenge of academic life here. He feels that Ix)ngwood's institution maintains a good faculty-student relationship. The departments of Sociology and Anthropology have changed the curriculum to help those students who will be majoring in these subjects become more
involved at college. These include—a sociology club for majors, the visiting scholars program which consists of having a noted sociologist in the fall and an Anthropologist in the spring. An informational guide has also been published for majors and prospective majors. Dr. Cardwell believes these additions will improve the department and give it its proper status in comparison with the other departments. Dr. Cardwell received his Bachelor's degree from University of Alabama, his master's from University of Maine, and his doctoral from University of Utah.

An Evening Of Opera Scenes By NELLE JONES On November 10, 1978 at 7:30 p.m. in the Molnar Recital Hall, the Longwood College Music Department presented "An Evening of Opera Scenes." Dr. Genevieve McGiffert of the Virginia Opera Company and adjunct professor at Christopher Newport College, directed an opera workshop prior to the final performance of the opera scenes. Dr. McGiffert holds five degrees, including Bachelor of Music and piano and Bachelor of Music and voice from Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, and the Master of Arts from Syracuse University. In 1970, she was awarded the Ph.D. in theatre from the University of Denver. On November 9, at 1:00 Dr. McGiffert opened the workshop with a music forum entitled "A Singing Actor Prepares: From Medieval Florence to Modern Appalachia." From 2:00-5:00 Dr. McGiffert directed an open rehearsal of "The Forgery
Scene" from "Gianni Schicchi" by Giacomo Puccini, a comic opera of the 19th century. "Gianni Schicchi" concerns the story of a grudy family fighting over the inheritance of a wealthy relative. From 7:30-10:30 Dr. McGiffert directed an open rehearsal of "Susannah," act two, by Carlisle Floyd. "Susannah" is the tragic story a young mountain girl who longs to see the world beyond the mountains. On Friday from 9:00 until 12 noon, Dr. McGiffert directed an open rehearsal of "The Marriage of Figaro" by Wolfgang A. Mozart. This prime example of opera buffa is opera at its traditional best. On Friday night the students presented the selected scenes from the three operas in an overwhelmingly successful production. It was a pleasure having Dr. McGiffert to Longwood and we most certainly look forward to having her back.

Fortunately, your scheme backfired. Most students we've spoken to think your statement was in extreme poor taste and choose to ignore it. Sincerely, Michelle E. Roper Jan Lang Marv Dunavant Bob Skinner Misses LC Dear Friends at Longwood, As some of you are aware, I recently transferred to the University of Tennessee for the benefit of my major, which is now Tourism, Food And Lodging . . . Whopee! Anyway, the fact I want to state is that I am now 154-58-7705, and no longer Carolyn O'Brien, or more commonly known as Babes, Nerd or Fish. It's amazing what an additional 30,000 people will do to a campus. Grant it, alot of benefits are involved with a student body of this quanity, but I don't think the friendliness and individuality at L.C. will ever match that of any other campus. So keep the spirit moving and
treasure every second. Because . . . "you don't know what ya got, "till it's gone." Love ya'll (you guys) 154-58-7705
Sociology Series
Dear Editor: On behalf of the faculty and students of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology here at Longwood, I would like to express our appreciation for the excellent coverage given to our Visiting Scholar Series in the October 24 and November 7 editions of the ROTUNDA. Although sociologists do not endorse the principle that "the medium is the message," we recognize that accurate communication is never independent of the message channel. We appreciate your coverage of Dr. Vemon's visit prior to his arrival and the article by Ms. Debbie Northern summarizing Dr. Vernon's remarks after his departure. Incidentally, after returning to the University of Utah Dr. Vernon phoned me to indicate that he thoroughly enjoyed his visit to the Longwood campus and found the exchanges he had with our students (both in and out of sociology) stimulating and exciting. Thanks. Sincerely, Jerry D. Cardwell, Chairman

Johnson A Familiar Face On Campus By LAURIE HOFFMAN If you are a student at Longwood, chances are good that you know Ann Johnson. An elementary education major from Lynchburg, Virginia, Ann has served the college in many ways. She has helped incoming freshmen as a Colleague and as an Orientation Leader, and she has been secretary of the Student Union for two years. As the first moderator of the Student Alumni Association, Ann strived for communication between the admissions office and Longwood students and alumni. She has also been asked to serve on the Honors and the Alma Mater committees. Ann sang at one time with Tafara, the Baptist Student Union folk team. Ann has been recognized for her involvement in many ways. During her first year at Longwood, she was a Freshman Commission elf and was commended by CHI of 1976. Last year, Ann was tapped an Oktoberfest usher and was initiated into Geist, of which she is now president. She was recently notified that she will be listed in Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Being in the Student Union is one thing which Ann feels has really benefitted her. "I feel like I have been able to improve my leadership ability, organizational abilities," she says of her role as secretary. She is also especially glad for the formation of the SAA. Academics are important to
Ann, as can be seen by her list of achievements in this area. She was one of the first, and one of the first two funded, Longwood Scholars. She served as president of Alpha Lambda Delta, and she is a member of both Phi Kappa Phi (a national honor society) and Kappa Delta Pi (an education honorary). Ann's name also appears in the National Dean's List. Ann is looking forward to student teaching next semester. She feels that the education department has prepared her for the future. She will be qualified to teach kindergarten through third grade and will have certification to teach mathematics. Ann anticipates being able to become more involved in a home church after graduation. She also hopes to marry and have a family eventually. "Longwood is building a good (Continued on Page 7)

Commentary
THE ROTUNDA
Tuesday. November 14.1978
Resolved-It's Time You Got Involved By DONNA SIZEMORE Almost everywhere one may go on campus they can hear criticisms of Longwood. Comments such as: "The Rotunda is a sorry paper.", "We have a terrible basketball team", "The rules at Longwood are unfair.", "The social life at this college is the pits," and other related statements are often heard. We are all ready to find fault in the system at Longwood. However, how many of us are willing to get involved and change the things that are displeasing to us? It's easy to complain, but it takes real courage to take affirmative action. With a student body of over 2,300 people who have varied interests and talents, why do any of Longwood's various student organizations have to suffer from lack of interest? The answer to this question is multi-sided and complex. Some students use lack of time as their scapegoat for blame. However, this is not a legitimate excuse. Academics is undeniably an important part of a truly rewarding education. However, it is only a part. A real education involves interaction with people. Practicial experiences are often the best sources of learning. Extra-curricular activities have a great deal to offer, and they can add a real advantageous ingredient to the college years. Besides being educational, these activities are a lot of fun. Part of growing into adulthood is learning to budget your time. Any student who really wants to find the time to devote to their favorite club, athletic
organization, or interest group can do so. It basically depends on how rich and rewarding a student expects their education to be. Being an active member of your favorite organization can offer a great challenge. Many of these organizations can offer practical experiences for the career minded student. Some students simply do not care. Apathy is abundant in their attitudes and actions. However, on most occasions these students are the first to find fault. It is easy to complain. However, it takes real courage to endeavor to work for change. Give it some serious thought. Get involved in your favorite extra-curricular activity. Most of our college organizations could definitely use more student support. Many are about to die from lack of student nourishment. Things just don't happen to get better. We have to make them happen. Doubtlessly, longwood could use a lot of renovation. However, unless student interest increases along with action, all dreams of change are futile. Change only comes through hard work and perseverance. Students are the only channel through which change can be funneled. We have to show that we care. Until we do, improvements are only a blind illusion. Many people exclaim that they are afraid to get involved. Where would this world be today, if everyone shared this ideology? What if our founding fathers had been afraid to fight for their basic liberties over two-hundred years ago? If no one ever initiated
change, then life on this planet would become little more than a mechanical, monotonous cycle. We would go no where, because we would never start. Progress and success are acquired by people who have the courage to fight for change. Change does not have to mean the abolition of tradition. Effective change is structured to make life better for people. Does Longwood College need change? The concensus of the majority of students adheres to the belief that it does. The first step must come in the change in the attitudes of students. If we really want to improve our college, then the possibilities are limitless. However, if we do not care, then severe limits are placed on the amount of improvement that is possible. If our college clubs, organizations, and sports teams are to progress, then they have to have support from the students. Try to win an athletic event with only a small team roster and a handful of supporters. Make an attempt to establish an active student government when those who are being governed take no interest in the governing process. Try to put together a newspaper with a handful of reporters. These tasks are difficult.
comparable period. Our enrollment is ahead of other institutions for a comparable period. I know of no institution in Virginia that has turned co-ed which has five intercollegiate sports available for men in the third year of co-education. Information that I have available to me indicates that none of the others offered over one intercollegiate sport in their third year. I believe that this same record holds for other areas." Obviously, there is more that needs to be done. The Intercollegiate Athletic Council is currently assessing other needs for intercollegiate programs. The male point of view is well represented by Dr. Bash, Coordinator of Men's Athletics, and Byron Bracey, varsity basketball player, voting members of the council." This statement is one to reassure the student body that much deliberation is being given to the subject of dissatisfaction concerning the male population at Longwood. Dr. T.C. Dalton stated that "College is much like life: It will return to the individual exactly what is contributed to it." Dr. Dalton will be conducting a randomly selected survey of twenty-per cent of the student body in the near future. The survey will contain such questions as: "Are you satisfied with the extracurricular activities the Lankford Student Union has sponsored? Would you be interested in more semi-formal dances, mixers?" These questions, as well as academic

Campus Controversy By SHARON JANOVICH "No wonder the girls always go to Hampden-Sydney and other colleges! We have very few nice social events to take them to here!" says one Longwood male. "I thought the male situation would improve as the years went on," said yet another male student, "but all I see is a lack of progress where we are concerned. I should have transferred before I was a Junior, instead of waiting and hoping for a change!" There seems to be a growing sense of dissatisfaction among a large portion of the male population enrolled at Longwood. The majority of the males, as well as numerous females, feel that Longwood is lacking greatly in the social and athletic areas. "They have money to build a brand new gym, but not enough for a football team? Football is what we REALLY want", stated one male student. And yet another Sophomore feels that the "Student Union spends all of their money getting little-heard-of bands to play, instead of having people that we'd really like to hear!" One must realize, however, that the transition from an allfemale institution to a coeducational one is a gradual and difficult period. When questioned on the subject, President Willett stated: "I feel we have made great progress in co-education during the past three years. Our programs in Athletics and other areas are much further advanced than in other institutions at a

everyday activities can serve as warm-ups for mime. Other exercises are discussed, and they are clarified through lecture demonstrations. Methods of creating illusionary objects are elaborated upon. The author discusses movements, characters, nuances, make-up, performing and teaching. The book suggests that the basic language of mime is one that we have all been using for years. With mime, "your wish is your command." Mime offers the opportunity to explore your own emotions. The basic idea of mime is the use of body language. Reading "Mime: A Playbook of Silent Fantasy" is a truly rewarding experience. The ideas that are advocated by this book are refreshing and useful to everyone who gets a little frustrated and who needs a release mechanism.

Basketball Preview In Blue And White Scrimmages By ROGER STRONG Kenny Ford's jumper with 23 seconds left in overtime proved to be the winning margin as the Blue defeated the White, 81-79 in the first annual intra-squad scrimmage held last Thursday in French Gymnasium. The first half was rather sluggish, as expected. Perhaps the most entertaining moments were provided by Earl Witcher's
enthusiastic player introductions. A big reason for the sloppy first half play was the fact that both teams were running the same plays against each other, both offensively and defensively. The White took a 35-27 lead into the locker room at halftime. Things began to open up a little more in the second half as both teams gradually abandoned the

There were some fine individual performances turned in; most notably by 6'9" Al Murray, who in addition to scoring 12 points, also rejected several shots in a very authoratative manner. In addition, Kenny Ford and "Easy Tee" Alston also had fine games, for the Blue, scoring 22 and 20 points respectfully. The most important accomplishment in the BlueWhite game was the exposition of the players to actual game conditions, including the presence of bonafide college referees, a few fans, and the clock. The Lancers now appear to be well tuned for their first game against Bluefield on Nov. 24 in the Hampden-Sydney Tournament.

Rehabilitation Key To Occupational Therapy By DEBBIE NORTHERN Occupational therapy is the "use of activity-mental, physical and social" to rehabilitate those with physical or mental hindrances, explained Mr. Charles Mosley, Director of Psycosocial Rehabilitation at Piedmont Geriatrics Hospital in Burkeville. Mosley spoke to the Pre-Professional Club November 9. Mosley told the group that occupational therapy toys to teach or reteach areas of daily living which we take for granted. Occupational therapy overlaps phases of many other professionals such as physical therapy and nursing. There are two categories of occupational therapists. The first is registered occupational therapists (OTR) who have received a Bachelors degree. A masters can be obtained by already having an undergraduate degree in OT or in another major. The other class is certified occupational therapist assistant (COTA). A COTA must take a test and graduate from a two year program. In some states they must be registered; Virginia's bill to make COTA's be licensed has not yet been passed. Starting average salaries are between $11 to $13,000 for OTR and $7 to $9,000 for COTA. A two year degree recipient can become registered by taking an examination after approved field work. Mosley said that occupational therapy is the oldest allied health profession besides nursing and one of the first to have a curriculum accredited by the American Medical Association. Occupational therapy grew out of nursing in the 1920's.
Occuptaional therapists, according to Mosley, work primarily in institutions offering long term care, but more and more they are moving into community programs and home health for the aged. Mosley mentioned that there were quite a few openings for occupational and physical therapists. The State Department of Mental Health currently has scholarships available for interested students in return for the student working for the
Facts Revealed (Continued from Page 2) James Madison University and Radford. Longwood is not alone in its low faculty pay scale according to a College Press Service article which states "Howard Bowen, economics professor at Claremont Graduate School, has chartered average faculty wages and benefits from 1903-04 through 1976-77. His figures show that, although salaries have come a long way from 1903's average $1500, real wages have been declining in comparison to other occupations." "Bowen warns that if the disparity continues, faculty earnings in ten years will be 9 to 18 per cent below those in other occupations and, in 20 years, a full third below." Bowen expressed a fear that the current trend of cost-cutting could lead to the more qualified professors seeking more lucrative jobs, and less qualified people will be taking their places. Bowen says the positions "probably couldn't be filled with people at the level of competence of those recently recruited."

Department the number of years they were supported by the scholarship. Yet, it is extremely difficult to get into schools offering an occupational therapy program. Mosley stated that only one out of seven undergraduates were excepted in this field at Virginia Commonwealth University. Slides of the Piedmont Hospital showed how it was organized. The patients are grouped as to their functional levels. Workshops are held for all patients, some of whom are paid to do contracted jobs from such industries as Stackpole Industries of Farmville. Others run a business of refinishing antique furniture. The entire concept if to rehabilitate the patients and help them care for themselves. They participate in many activities and physical exercises. Eventually some are discharged.
Salaries (Continued from Page 1) duPont Religious Charitable and Educational Fund was accepted, $25,000 of this money will be used to supplement faculty salaries next year. This is only equal to a one per cent increase in salaries. The Association of American University Professors is also doing a thorough and intensive study on the total salary picture at Longwood. The AAUP will be looking at the relationship of pay rates as far as faculty verses administration. Other things that frequent the Committee's agenda are enrollment projections, faculty opinions and staff cuts. Dr. M. Cristo said that they have not been informed of any projected staff and faculty changes or cuts for 1979-80. Dr. M. Cristo says that she feels the faculty is supportive in general. "You will always find times when they are divided on an issue." She also stated that the tenured members of the faculty had recently signed a letter in support of the committee. The committee comes in contact with the students in their involvement on the Longwood Council. Some of the committee members are also requested to serve on the committee for selecting students for Who's Who Among Students In American Colleges And Universities and on the Appeals Board for Residence and Judicial Boards.

She feels that more relevant rules are needed and that they need to be more strictly enforced. Ann hopes that the lines of communication could be more open among the students: "With everything I encourage the students to speak up the right way and go through the right channels if they want to say something." "Because of the blue and white spirit, I feel like this year's Oktoberfest was one of the best in my years at longwood," says Ann. It is certainly true that Ann's spirit shows through in everything she does for the school.

Golfer Recognized longwood College's Player of the Week is golfer Kay Smith, who shot an 85 for the Runner-Up trophy in the November 3 VAIAW State Open Championship played on the difficult Kingsmill golf course in Williamsburg. His second-place finish in the state competition was the culmination of a fine season for Smith, who has been low scorer in most of the lancers' matches this fall. In nominating Smith for the award, Longwood golf coach Dr. Barbara Smith cited the golfer's "excellent average" of 80 strokes per match this season, with 73 as her lowest competitive round. A sophomore business major, Smith is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur T. Smith of Covington.

Contracts (Continued from Page 1) about day students buying special meal tickets, Mr. Paul and Miss Swann said that the matter would be left up to Dean Heintz and Mr. Inge. The ARA contract also states that as a service to the Campus Police, they are given their meals, while on duty, free. This is a service offered by ARA and not the college. All of the other staff members pay for the meals eaten in the dining hall. ARA is also allowed to do catering at which time they pay for any student labor used.

Willett, Dr. Peele and other administrators periodically checked, also. According to daily charts approximately 65 per cent of the students eat the dining hall meals each day. Most of the complaints come from students who just do not like the food; however, it is the feeling of the administration that Longwood has better food service than most colleges in the state. Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg contracted ARA as of last year. The only college left to run their own food service is James Madison University. The present contract for the college bookstore was made as of July 1, 1970 with 0. Wayne Harper. Mr. Harper is the stated concessionnaire of the bookstore and pays the college $100 monthly rent. The contract states that the bookstore is to provide the students with plainly marked listings of the subject and course numbers on the shelves with the books and a complete line of paperbacks from various publishers. The students are also to be able to order single books and receive special student discounts on magazine subscriptions through the store. The number of text books ordered, according to the contract, is the number turned in by the college professors. Mr. Harper is not allowed to cut the number unless he has used books to compensate for them. He is also supposed to buy back any books from the students that are to be used the next semester for 50 per cent of the new price. He then is allowed to sell these books back at 75 per cent. This part of the contract raises some questions as to whether or not the student government's Swap Shop is in violation of the bookstore contract. The contract does give Mr. Harper the right to buy the books back from the students, however since 1971 when it was established, the Swap Shop has been in direct competition with the bookstore. Mr. Paul stressed that there was no college money in the bookstore. Mr. Harper's records are handled by him and not the business office, however they are audited by an internal auditor. A bookstore committee is set aside in the contract and is headed up by Dr. James Gussett. Other members include Thomas P. Burke Jr., Dr. Martha E. Cook, Thomas L. Dickens, Mr. Harper, Mr. Paul, Dr. Mark G. Weatherly, Miss Betsy Cooper and Miss Teresa Ware. Miss Cooper and Miss Ware are the two student representatives to the committee. Glenn Electronics Service has held the washing machine and dryer contract with the school since 1963. At this time, they were the only company to bid. One other company was contacted but refused to bid. In the contract, Glenn Electronics is the stated contractor and Longwood College, the owner. The money from the machines is divided 6535 per cent. Longwood's percentage goes into the utility costs and the student activity account. The contractor does all of the servicing of the machines. He provides 24 hour servicing from the time he is notified by the Resident Supervisor. According to Mr. Paul, there are 73,000 washing cycles. The machines are replaced every three to seven years depending on its condition. Glenn Electronics Service Co. is the only service allowed by the contract to handle the washing machines and dryers. Any other procedure would violate the contract.
