Nine Percent Increase Proposed By MELODY CRAWLEY The Board of Visitors will be asked in May to approve a nine per cent increase in the fees of the college. President Henry I. Willett Jr. released the proposed new changes last week. The Board had previously approved a 6.9 per cent increase. The president is now asking for $35 more. This nine per cent includes an increase from $146 to $190 in the Athletic fees. The Activity fee will increase from $35 to $40. This increase was requested by the Student Activity Fee Committee at the February Board meeting. In 1977, the Student Activity fee was five dollars more than the Athletic fee. President Willett says he sees that Activity fee increasing again in the next budget. In the construction category, the proposed fee structure includes $30 for AUXOP construction and $30 for E and G construction. The AUXOP fee will help finish paying for the Lankford Student Union building. E and G construction is for the new Physical Education building. The cost of that new facility is $4,750,000. The state will pay approximately four million

dollars of that figure. The Student Union fee of $65 is for building maintenance of Lankford and not for S-UN activities. The only sections to decrease in dollar value are the laundry

by the college were more formal affairs and provided other opportunities to refresh memories. When talking to returning graduates, some of the most heard comments were on the fact that many buildings have remained the same while many policies have changed. Questions about the new physical education building were asked frequently and questions as to further expansion. One alumni asked if CHI still makes walks at night around freshmen dormitories and this opened more memories of attempts to find out who was on CHI and surprises when burnings finally took place. One alumni mentioned that lights had to be out by 11 p.m. when she was here 20 years ago and that it was good to see a little less rigid rules today. A craft sale and tour through Longwood Estates were arranged with some alumnae touring through the residence halls also to pay homage to particular rooms. At the Estates, alumnae recalled the Saturday afternoon strolls out to the house to eat those famous tang wood cinammon rolls. The day ended with an Alumni dinner. Many graduates stayed until Sunday afternoon to attend the Spring Choral Concert. Founder's Day week end proved to be a success with many friendships renewed and memories discussed among old friends. Promises were made to meet again on the next Founder's Day celebration.

By MELODY CRAWLEY The college issued a statement Thursday in reply to the Judicial Board's refusal last week to handle any more narcotics cases. The prepared statement issued from the Office of Public Affairs stated that the cases for now would be handled by the administrative officers and Campus Police.

(lass Elections Class Elections will be held this Thursday, April 24, in the Rotunda from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. All offices have been closed for petitions except for the presidents of sophomore and senior classes, and the secretary of the sophomore class. Petitions for these offices are due to Becky Lee at 2-5904, Frazer 740 by midnight tonight (Tuesday, April 22). All rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors are urged to vote Thursday. The winners will be posted Thursday night on the petition board in the Rotunda.

President Henry I. Willett Jr. would not go into details Friday as to how the cases would be handled. He did say that narcotics on the campus would be dealt with. He added that anyone caught selling drugs would be turned over to the State Police. "This has been done in the past," he said. The Judicial Board remains firm in their decision not to deal with narcotics. Threats to the Board are among the six reasons listed for their refusal. They will continue to handle non-drugrelated Honor Code violations. New procedures will be developed by the College in the coming months. Dean Mary A. Heintz stated that "the College has always taken a firm stand relating to the use of narcotics on the tangwood College campus and will continue to do so. We feel that because of this strong stand narcotics usage is comparatively low on our campus."

Dancers Salute Spring By CINDY M. MORRIS The I-ongwood College Company of Dancers presented their 1980 Spring Concert on April 7-19, 7:30 p.m. in Jarman Auditorium. The Company of Dancers under the direction of l)i Betty A. Bowman did a superb job in demonstrating their dance and choreographic abilities to a very receptive audien The concert was a light program which was a perfect salute to Spring. The program began withthe IMPRESSIONIST SUITE mixing musical accompaniment with dance in a salute to Debussy. The first dance of the suite was entitled Sails'*. The dance choreographed by Grace Ann Rodgers captured the audience in an atmosphere of sailing. The musical accompaniment of Miss Frieda Myers was a perfect piece for this well performed dance. The second piece among the suite of dances, a light dance entitled Interrupted Serenade," was choreographed by Adrienne Heard. The choreography depicts two Spanish Matedors battling two bulls. The dance was performed as a ritual to the accompaniment of Rene Rowland. Tracey Hormuth choreographed "The Maid with

the Flaxen Hair" as the third piece in the suite. The accompaniment of Emily Sue Wilkinson was a slow and carefree musical score which set the tempo of the dance for the three dancers. The final piece among the IMPRESSIONIST SUITE, performed by the entire company of dancers, was entitled "The Engulfed Cathedral." The dance was very abstract in depicting an old legend of a sunken cathedral in the sea, which rises one day a year Following a brief five minute pause, the concert continued with an enchanting second half of the program. The tempo of the concert was picked up by the dance '•Festival'', choreographed by Vanessa Baird. The composition reflected the various types of dances that are enjoyable to many people. "Moments of Time," a unique piece choreographed by Elizabeth Cardin, illustrated the elements of time outlining life's happenings that are portrayed in this symbolic dance. The bright costume and varying tempos of the dancers symbolized the elements of time. A lively piece "Salute to Studio Dance Teachers'', choreographed by Eileen Mathes, involved many "steps"

that one has learned throughout their dance experiences. A moment of silence swept over the audience as "Awakening" was performed. The fast paced aggressive dance, choreographed by Adrienne Heard was performed as a trio. The dance illustrates the feelings of many individuals today, feeling helpless and angry in a world of changes. A delightful dance entitled "On The Corner" led us to the fantasy world of the night life on street corners. Vickie Berman choreographed this jazz piece about three ladies of the evening, who have an encounter on the corner. A complete student musical composition and dance were combined together in the "Farewell Preocessional". The original music was created by Rusty Hurley and the dance choreographed by Sherry Hogge.

Telephones

There is an easy way for students to discontinue telephone service at the end of the school year—use the telephone. By calling Centel now at 3923121 students can avoid inconvenient waits at the business office for removal orders to be processed at the end of the spring semester. Students who leased equipment are responsible for returning their telephones to the company. By calling in the removal information beforehand, students need only drop off their phones at Centel's business office at 208 South Main Street. "We want to make it as easy as possible for students to terminate their service," said Jim Mahan, business office manager. "Bycalling first, then dropping the phone off, students can save time and get money off their bills."

Three Principles For College Life By DEBBIE NORTHERN In a lecture last Thursday entitled 'Journey of the Intellect," Rev. Walter J. Burghardt, S.S., gave advice on what college life should be like. He urged students at IiOngwood to structure their college careers on three basic principles: accuracy, universality, and a unified vision. Father Burghardt believes it is important to grasp what knowledge we can to the fullest extent. We must be exact and methodical in our quest for knowledge. For instance, in literature we must try to discover the feelings which motivated the author to write. Universality is the desire to broaden our knowledge and horizons. We must never be content with a minimum effort of achievement, according to Father Burghardt, we need to step outside the narrow confines of our own self. If we do, a suspicion may grow that there are dates more important than our own," said Father

Burghardt. A unified vision is based on past knowledge and culminates in wisdom. The full vision cannot be attained until maturity, but in the meantime it may be begun. We must gradually achieve perspective (views, not opinions), said Father Burghardt. One must desire knowledge for perfection of the self and for love. "Knowledge is the first step to love," said Father Burghardt. The discovery of God's creation should draw us closer to our fellow man and native. Father Burghardt fears Ix)ngwood students will complete their four years at college without forming views, with no sense of location or time, and no consistency in their arguments. He fears their educational experience will seem like "four years of rock and roll interruped by class." "I hope during the four years, you will not only learn, but learn to love," concluded Father Burghardt.

One-Act Festival Tomorrow By LINDA WHEELER How would you like to get out and relax before exams begin? You can do so by attending the One Act Play Festival on Wednesday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m. in the Studio Theatre in Jarman Auditorium. There will be four plays presented. They are: "The Restaurant" by Dan Greenberg, directed by Chris Conner. The play centers around three characters, played by Randy Cook, Susan Clift, and Frank Creasy, in a European restaurant and what happens when "things" start to happen to two of the characters. "The Ladies Should Be In Bed" by Paul Zindel, directed by Susan Clift. The play has six characters in it, being played by Diane Wright, Elise McCarty, Faith I>ancaster, Vicky Mann, and Lisa

Hughes. The play is about a group of middle class matrons who meet for bridge and are quickly drawn into more dramatic, disturbing matters. "Jealousy Plays a Part" by Charles George, directed by Linda Wheeler. There are seven characters in the play, being played by Lisa Swackhammer, Diane Wright, Melanie Hudnall, Mark Winecoff, Bonnie Walthall, Ginger Moss, and Neil Sawyer. The story deals with the first rehearsal of a play and the reactions of the people when they are assigned their parts by the "chief moving spirit of the dramatic club." "No Snakes in this Grass" by James Magnuson, directed by Judi Stanley. The three characters in the play are being played by students from the (Continued on Page 8)

As the year comes to an end, we sometimes stop to wonder where the time has gone. This is the last newspaper of the school year. . . and in less than a month the Class of 1980 will be graduating. What has this school year brought to Longwood College? That is certainly a big question, for Longwood College has been an eventful place since we arrived here in August. There have been the usually exciting events of Oktoberfest, Freshman elves, Mardi Gras, Spring Weekend. . . and then there have been the first ever events such as the John Dos Passos Award and Roy Clark as Visiting Artist. These things have put Longwood in headlines. But then we look at what has really given the small comprehensive College in Farmville, Virginia news coverage ... it scares us.Those headlines contain such words as Special Grand Jury, Management Team, and Judicial Board. And that's what the public reads about us! Yes, we're just like any other college ... we have narcotics problems, and Judicial Board can not deal with them. It's too bad that the newspapers had to aid in bringing that fact out. So, where do we go from here? It's the end of the year and all is still not well. Judical Board is standing firm on their decision not to handle the cases any more. The administration has turned this duty over to the administrative officers and the Campus Police. They have promised to come up with a permanent policy in the coming months. And now we look at that gaila events called Press Conferences. Attendance has gotten slightly better, but it is still the same people every month. It's almost like a ritual for those who attend and for those who don't... well, sometimes they might pick up a copy of the newspaper and read about it. And, then there are the questions .. .they seem to be on the same subjects every month. Athletics and the dining hall head the list every time. Oh, for the days of parking problems again. (Just kidding!) Then there is the new event of open Board of Visitors meetings. By the way, that event is coming up real soon ... as a matter of fact the first of May. There have been a few students who have learned the meaning of closed session to the point that it means a long wait. We must say though the faculty has shown an extreme amount of interest in these meetings. For the past five months it has been the Board's primary and almost only duty to deal with the Governor's Management Team Study. The school year has been full of good and bad. Hopefully, we have learned from the bad and we unite to strive together to correct it and improve our college because of it. We shouldn't have to take any more faultiness and error. The good has boosted our moral and we must continue to strive for it. Longwood College is a good school and it can be even better if we ALL work together. Good luck on exams and have a great summer!

the Intramural Activities Association. This time my interest lies with Her Field. Iler Field, in the past, has always been on IAA field. The IAA has always scheduled their events assuming that we could use this field as we chose. It appears, however, that next semester, there is a great possibility that the IAA Is going to have to rearrange their schedule to accommodate the scheduling of the home soccer games. The IAA does not object to sharing our field with any athletic teams if the need to schedule a couple of games on Iler due to scheduling problems. The soccer team. however, scheduled all of their home games on Iler Field without consulting either the IAA or the scheduling committee. The IAA is not too pleased with such an action and would like to ask the support of the student body on this issue. The IAA realizes that there are problems with the conditions of some fields at Ixmgwood. But, in the past, the soccer team has always used First Avenue field in the fall and the hockey team has used Barlow. During the fall, the IAA serves approximately 400 students through intramurals. Due to the number of our participants and the scheduling of our events and practices, the IAA needs Iler Field every day from 4 to 10. Iler has always been IAA field and we do not appreciate the fact that our use of it could be greatly shortened. You, as a student, could be of tremendous help on this issue by giving the IAA your support through letters to the administration issuing your opinion. The IAA serves you, as a student through our various activities. But, without the same amount of time we have had on Iler in the past, we cannot continue to do so. Thank you. Sincerely, Susan Towler Vice-president, IAA

Longwood's First Visiting Artist *

1

By MELODY CRAWLEY He's a star, but he's still "just a down-home country boy." That is the only way to describe Roy Clark, superstar of country music and television. Clark, a native of Meherrin, Virginia, was honored Visiting Artist on Longwood's campus April 14. "Music is one of the most special things that could happen to an individual. It's a great day for me," said Clark at a luncheon held in his honor in the Commonwealth Room. Clark was almost two hours late arriving in Farmville. He had planned to fly here aboard his own jet directly to the Farmville airport; however, due to rainy weather, he was forced to land in Richmond. Mr. and Mrs. Hester Clark, parents of the 47year-old star, were among the 125 guests who attended the luncheon. Clark gave credit for his outlook on life to his parents saying, "It's the gift of these two great people here." Mayor David Crute welcomed Clark to Farmville. He read a proclamation that made April 14 Roy Clark Day. He was also presented the first Board of Visitors Visiting Artist medallion. The medallion of the Ixmgwood seal rested on a wooded plague in the shape of the state of Virginia. In presenting the award, President Henry I. Willett, Jr., called Clark "a great man." Visiting Artist Clark's main purpose as Visiting Artist was to talk to the music majors. Before a group of them later that afternoon, he was very humble in saying he did not know what he could teach them. "They know more in their first six weeks here about what it is they are doing than I do," he added. Clark had no formal musical training. He learned music from his father and uncles in Meherrin. He said they would sit on the porch picking their banjos and guitars when he was a boy. .Âťâ–

t ... i..

X The day for Clark did not end at Ix>ngwood. He was the guest at nearby Southside Community Hospital where he cut the "gauze" opening the new Roy Clark Emergency Treatment Center. Here he was presented a cake In the shape of a guitar made by ARA Slater Services at Ixnigwood. Getting Here It took two years of correspondence to arrange for Roy Clark's visit. Henry Fulcher, a close friend of Clark's and announcer at Farmville's radio station, WFLO, was instrumental in getting him to come. Fulcher worked with Ix>ngwood administration as a liason to Clark. The college hopes to have Clark on campus once a year to work with music students as part of his role of Visiting Artist. Clark's Publicist Preceeding Clark's atternoon visit Kathy Gangwisch, publicist for Clark, spoke to the music students at 11 a.m. Sitting on the edge of Wygal stage, Ms. Gangwisch amazed the students present as she made a partial list of her cliental. They included the Oak Ridge Boys, Tammy Wynette, George Jones, Lou Rawls, Bill Cosby, I,oretta Lyn, and Donna Summer. In a question and answer period, she revealed the various forms of the industry one could enter as well as the pros and cons of it.
