Board Of Visitors Hear Forum with a representative from the Attorney General's Office on the Freedom of Information Act. Dr. Rosemary Sprague, a Board of Visitors distinguished professor of English, was the first faculty member to speak in the forum. She reproached some of her colleagues as having revived "unhappy memories" of the past. She quoted faculty memers as saying, "If we don't get Henry this time we'll get him in May." She expressed great concern over ending the controversy adding that she had never felt fear of reprisal during her 17 years here. Dr. Robert P. Webber, of the Department of Mathematics, cited the merit pay system as a specific example of communication difficulties between administration and faculty. He said there was a "lack of consistency" in this matter. He cited the budget as an example of communication between administration and the board. He said it had taken him "four months and three attempts" to receive a copy of a budget in which the addition was done correctly. Dr. David A.

By MELODY CRAWLEY The 15 different presentations aired to the Board of Visitors in their first open session Thursday centered around faculty input. Twelve of these presentations were made by faculty members. Dr. James M. Helms Jr., professor of Government, was allowed to sit on the board for questions. He was not given
voting privileges. Dr. Helms described himself as a "faculty member in anguish" because he did not understand the board communication policy. The board emphasized that faculty should feel free to communicate with them. Dr. Helms was allowed to speak before the board in closed session after some discussion
Fees To Increase ByDEBRA CUNNINGHAM Among the topics discussed at the Press Conference on Tuesday, March 4, in the Ix>wer Dining Hall was the seven per cent increase in the students' overall fees. This would bring an increase of approximately $200. There will be a five dollar increase in the students' activity fee. There was much discussion on the increases made in the past in the Students Activities fees and the Athletic fees. President Willett also announced that there may be some modification in the Laundry Fee due to the utilization studv now uoinK on. There are some more decisions that are of particular interest to the student body that were presented at the Press Conference. The Faculty has approved the use of pluses and minuses in the grading system. This is to begin in the near future. Beginning July 1, 1980 there will be no Sales Tax on textbooks sold in colleges or universities. The suggestion that was made some time ago about having birthdates put on I.D. cards next year has been approved. President Willett encouraged students to keep pressing the Administration for information when they need it. There was much discussion relating to the new gym. There has been no definite decision reached on what teams will play
in the new gym. However, it was announced that Barlow gym will be used as Social Work classrooms next year. The Board of Visitors will select a name for the new gym in May. Graduating Seniors will be given a tour of the new gym before they leave. The predicted date of completion of the new gym is July 15, 1980. Also in the Sports, there will be a JV Women's Basketball team at l>ongwood next year. There was very much discussion on the academic standing and admittance of male athletes at Ixmgwood. President Willett informed those present that males had to have the same SAT scores as females to be admitted, and that they needed to maintain the same grade point average as females. He also stated that there is a process where students can appeal the Admissions Committee, and that "all academic eligibility comes through the Dean's office." Also l/Higwood has not completely filled its enrollment for the next year. The work on the parapet wall of the Dining Hall is to begin in the near future. The proposed needs of Jarman were not considered an emergency so funds were not allocated for that project, however, it can be submitted to the General Assembly again at a later date.
supportive rising cost in Athletic fees. "Students are being ripped off financially," he stated. He received clapping from students when he reported that athletes are being given special treatment. He cited the recent privilege given Intercollegiate athletes to register first along with Seniors and terminal professional students. Dr. Anthony Cristo, of the Economics Department and Chairman of the Presidential Advisory committee, brought four major concerns before the board. These concerns included the Tea Room, facilities improvements, college communications, and faculty pay. He, along with three other members of the committee (Dr. Wayne Tinnell, Dr. Gerald Graham, and Dr. John Peale), thanked the board for allowing them to speak in the forum, suggesting that it might be continued in the future. The question of the validity of the faculty survey in the management team report was discussed. President Willett reported that the team had not followed their manual in conducting the survey. Members of the President's Advisory
Committee assured the board that the faculty supported the accuracy of the survey. Dr. Cristo told the board that it may have failed in precision, "but you got it in regard to issues raised." Dr. Peale presented the Campus Ministers document as an example of changes needed. This document, among other things, asked for changes in the student services Dr. Jerry Cardwell, chairman of the Sociology and Anthropology Department, reported to the board that faculty on campus push their colleagues to choose sides. He said that in the one and a half years that he had been here he was asked constantly whether he was pro- or anti-administration. "The situation at Ixmgwood right now is a little more volatile than it ought to be. When questioned by Board member M. Ralph Page of Richmond, Dr. Cardwell stated that he had not felt a climate ol fear. Dr. Elizabeth Flynn, of the Art department, called for changes in the bookstore, Freshman Orientation, and library hours Dr. Edwin Vassar, Director of Student Teaching, said, "I have i Continued on Page 81

Freshman Production: Out Of This World By ROBIN REYNOLDS For the past few weeks the Freshman class has been working diligently and secretly on their annual production. Thursday night their efforts were presented to the rest of the school. The play is an original work of the Script Committee, made up of twelve freshmen. The play is about Meeke and Eeke, who are from an alien planet, sent here to observe college life, particularly Ixmgwood College in Farmville, Virginia. They discover the elements necessary for partying, beer and loud music, the symbol of Ixmgwood, good ole Joanie, who was played by Kim Williams. They are filled in on the
pros and cons of Longwood through freshman orientation. They are exposed to the hazards of registration. Meeke and Eeke have a glimpse of Oktoberfest, other games and activities, and Christmas traditions at Ix>ngwood. Then they travel to "Hampster City," where the Hampsters are described quite vividly. They wear button down shirts^ khaki pants and topsider shoes. They do have variations, such as horn-rimmed glasses and sweaters. The alligator is their religious symbol, because everyone wears it. Then came the fun part of college life, studying for exams. And then it is time for everyone to go home for the summer, "a liquid-secretion from the eye" time.
Preview: The Mousetrap By MINDY HIRSCH If danger, excitement, and mystery appeal to you, be sure to see the Longwood Players' presentation of Agatha Christie's play, THE MOUSETRAP. This play, which is the longest running play in the English language, will be performed April 9-12. Dr. Ixxkwood is serving as the faculty director of THE MOUSETRAP. It is free for Ixmgwood students. The plot concerns a young couple, Mollie and Giles Ralston, played by Melanie Hudnell and Dale Roller This couple runs a small lodging house in England. Their guests consist of (mristopher Wren, an anemic young man played by Chris Conner; Mrs. Boyle, a melancholy and critical woman portrayed by Vicky Mann; a retired military man, Major Metcalf, played by Jeff Sledjeski; Mr. Paravicini, a delightful" Frenchman played bj Frank Creasy; and Miss Casewell, a decisive woman, portrayed by Iisa Hughes. An immense blizzard forces these guests to be isolated at the inn. The largest part, Detective Serjeant Trotter, will be played bj Randy Cook. Detective Trotter comes to the inn to
investigate a mysterious murder ... one that took place at the lodge. The intriguing fact is that, due to the blizzard, no one is able to leave the inn — and no one is able to come to the inn, either. Therefore, it appears that the murderer is one of the members of the isolated group. The technical aspects of the play are also intriguing. Richard Gamble, the faculty technical director, explains that the script of THE MOUSETRAP "dictates a lot of crucial set handling." There are parts of the play that the audience must see clearly as well as parts that the audience should not view. It is also important that the set look mysterious in order to convey the mood of the play. Agatha Christie was certainly one of the most distinguished mystery writers of all times. She was also astonishingly prolific, having written some sixty novels, nearly two hundred short stories and nine full-length plays. But of all her works, unquestionably the most successful is THE MOUSETRAP, which opened in Ixmdon way back in 1952 and is still running. Come see this chilling mystery play to see if you can detect "whodunit."
Omega Outa Staters By W. TAYLOR In case you have not heard, there is a new organization on campus called Omega Outa Staters. It is not a fraternity, but a group of men who have come together to unify and organize the students with similar social interests. Some people refer to them as "the basketball team" or "the black frat," because thev have many black members who also play for the Varsity Basketball team. Omega Outa Staters is a brotherhood not restricted by skin color or other ridiculous prejudices. Omega was founded by six men who wanted to improve the quality of the social life and enable students to become better acquainted while at Ixmgwood. Founders of the organization are Shack I^onard, Florida; William K. Ford, North Carolina; Larry D. Williams,
New York; Michael Owens, Florida; Elliot Hedley, New York; and Walter L. Taylor Jr., Massachusetts. They have involved themselves in more than social functions, because they want to demonstrate that they have a serious concern for their school and the community. Giving blood, playing benefit basketball games and participating in the Superdance for Muscular Dystrophy are some things which they know will help someone else. They want their organization to have a positive effect on their members, Ixmgwood College and Farmville. They extend an invitation to any male on campus, who is interested in Omega, to come and talk to any member of the organization. They are also looking for any interested females to be "Sweethearts."
The two narrators, Meeke and Eeke, were played by Mark Winecoff and Carrie Chumney. Meeke II and Eeke II, who were reliving the tale of the travels, were played by Ross Conner and Patty Carrie. The rest of the cast consisted of a variety of characters: a drunk played by Lisa Bowers, a registrar played by Lynda I^ansinger, Christmas elves and general crowds. The Freshman Class has done a great job. They have put forth a large amount of energy and deserve a hearty thanks from their fellow students for an enjoyable evening.

Steward-Tugging Return
Betsy Duncan, a member of the finance committee, brought in approximately $1,000 worth of pledges over the telephone on Saturday. The most outstanding donations were given by Lawson Ford, Lester Andrews, and Josiah Bunting, president of Hampden-Sydney College. Much hard work went in to making this year's superdance such a success, and as President Willett stated in his closing remarks, "No one can call Longwood College apathetic when they see what has been done here." Alpha Sigma Tau sorority, IB. Dent, Marjorie Croxton, Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, Phi Beta lambda fraternity and WSVS Radio Station received certificates and engraved Jefferson cups for their work, "above and beyond the call of duty."

Jazzers Love
Professionalism In
Child's Play
A Laid-Back Style
By LISA SPENCER Jazz lovers who missed the Child's Play concert Saturday night really missed a great show. Child's Play was excellent, and its rhythm and blues selections were just as good as the jazz numbers. The band's first set of songs consisted mainly of other musicians' work. They did an excellent rendition of Duke Ellington and several other big names in jazz. The second set was definitely the group's best. This set
included all their own work, especially the numbers on their next album. Several of their selections came from the origins of jazz — the old time gospel music. The drummer stole the show with a tremendous solo that earned him a standing ovation from several in the crowd. The next time that Child's Play is appearing in the vicinity, it would be advisable to see them. If you are a jazz fan, you will not be disappointed. If you aren't, you will be after hearing this superb group.

Lancers Charge To Victory; On To Illinois ! By HOKE CURRIE One couldn't blame Coach Ron Bash and his Longwood basketball team for pinching themselves Friday night just to make sure the dream was real. The no-game, Ix>ngwood-Who? Lancers earned a berth in the NCAA Division III final four with 78-61 pasting of ninth ranked Potsdam State Friday night as a frenzied crowd of 1,600 chanted their approval at the HampdenSydney Athletic Center. Now 28-1 (best record of any men's team in the nation on any level), Longwood faces the ultimate challenge Friday night at 6:35 CST. The lancers must battle two-time defending national champ North Park (263) in the first final four game at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. Upsala (24-4) and
Wittenberg (28-2) will play in the second semi-final tilt Friday night. Losers will play a consolation game at 6:35 Saturday night with the championship contest to follow. To get to the final tilt Ixmgwood will have to beat a team which can only be described as awesome. The Vikings blasted a talented Jersey City State team Saturday night 86-63, despite the fact that 6-10 All-American center Michael Harper contributed little because of foul trouble. While Harper, who averaged 22 points and over 12 rebounds per game in the regular season, is a legitimate pro prospect, the Vikings are a long way from being a one-man team. Point guard Michael Thomas scored 24 against Jersey City and 6-7 Keith French came off the bench to
score 15 points and grab 16 rebounds. North Park, located in Chicago, has not only its starting five, but its entire team returning from last year's second in a row Division III championship season. The Vikings averaged 85.9 points per game, shot 54.2 per cent from the floor and outscored opponents by 19 points during the regular season. The Vikings also have one of the tallest guards in the country in 6-7 Modzel Greer, who is also considered to be a pro prospect. North Park is coached by Dan McCarrell. No Time To Savor While Longwood has little time to savor its big win over Potsdam State, neither the Lancers nor their fans will soon forget Friday night. After playing its regular season games in tiny French Gymansium, which seats 200 comfortably, Longwood got unprecedented fan support against the Bears when a fired-up crowd of 1,600 turned out. The victory and the whole night were special. Coach Ron Bash, who has taken teams to the Division III final four previously, called it probably his most satisfying win ever. "Considering the circumstances, it was my most satisfying win," said Bash. "We were still considered a no-name team going into the Potsdam game. People will hear about us now. Our players really came through under difficult circumstances and the response of the fans from Longwood and the town of Farmville was most gratifying." Ix)ngwood tri-captain Shack I>eonard (Riviera Beach, FL) felt the crowd had a big impact on the Lancers' performance. "We just didn't know whether we could draw a crowd or not," said the senior guard. "This is what we've been waiting for, a little encouragement. And it was a big moral boost, I'll tell you that." Team Win Bash credited several players for playing key roles in the victory. As has been the case all season, the triumph over Potsdam was a team win. Leonard contributed 12 points, 10 rebounds and six assists while directing the attack. Ken Ford

Lacrosse Season Holds Strong Hopes By DAVE GATES •Control!" "Ask for the pass." "Diagonal cuts!" "Sprint into each cut!" "Keep your legs moving!" "And Go!" A young, new coach, with whistle, stopwatch and stick, stands directing an energetic group of athletes; drilling and pressing them to their potential. A physically demanding sport, new to some of them, and the constant challenge of each game of the season lies in the weeks ahead. Coach Jane Miller and the ladies of the tang wood lacrosse Team are pulling themselves together as a playing unit, developing, and striving to be ready for any challenge they may meet. A versatile coach, Miller has had experience guiding teams in Field Hockey and Basketball as well as lacrosse. In addition to her lacrosse position, she was also the Women's Basketball assistant coach and teaches physical education. She received her B.S. degree from Northeastern and her M.S. from UNC-Greensboro. Miller has played on the United States tacrosse team for three years and was named to the U.S. reserve team for two years. The first team seems to be a strong and consistent group of players. The team is made up of many veteran players lending experience to their play. Individual appraisals of the players cannot really be
determined as yet. The restrictions of indoor practices had its hinderances, among which was the coach's ability to view individual skills. From recognition last year, certain players can be seen as strong hopefuls in this season's play. Cindy Dropeski, Debbie Cosby, Julie Dayton, Kim Garber, and Denise Snader were chosen to positions on Division II Va. State College teams last year. Miller stated that there are also some 'really good new people" who are actually new to the game and at the time playing on the first team. The second team is quite apprehensive right now. They are all basically new to the game and are learning fast as they are faced with the new experience. In game situations, the first team members that do not play will play in the second team game. Coach Miller hopes to allow all second team members to get a chance to play. Miller is confident, yet hesitant, in assessing the coming season. The team has not been able to practice outside until this week, therefore she has not seen people on full field. With the first game of the season at home, Thursday, March 13, she realizes that "anything could happen." The game of lacrosse is one of quick, strong movements, precise timing, intricate technique, and harsh physical demands. Coach Miller has been pressing the team through
tedious drills and instruction in preparation for the season. In practice sessions she finds herself "a little verbose," stopping often for specific techniques and instruction. Because of the practice conditions the first game will be a tough one, but useful as a learning experience. Looking ahead, Miller feels that "'if anything we'll be aggressive." The team play will be drawn from the play of the defense. Miller explains that "defensive assignments are clearly defined," therefore enabling the team to utilize the strength and consistency in these positions to push an aggressive Longwood offensive attack and aid the apprehensive goalie. She has been directing her attention to accurate passing, going to goal and beating the opponent, constantly going forward and "no standing still." She intends to strengthen their attack by the offense "creating overlaps." Coach Miller and the players are approaching the season as a "fresh beginning." They are working to develop their skills and potential, and unifying their efforts as a team, to face their opponents, representing tangwood and dedicated to their sport. A season can be termed a success if it is simply completed, by a unified team. The support of spectators and victories can add to that all the more. With the hope of both, the 1980 lacrosse season begins.
