Special Jury Clears Longwood By MELODY CRAWLEY
President Willett testified before the Richmond Special Grand Jury during the summer.
A special Richmond grand jury found insufficient evidence in July to recommend criminal prosecution of Longwood officials. President Henry I. Willett, Jr., was called before the jury in June probing alleged corruption within state purchasing programs. He was called before the jury after a state police investigation of contracts between longwood and a printing consultant, Media Directions Inc., of Atlanta. This investigation stemmed from a study done in the State's Department of Purchasing and Supply, last week. The longwood examination was part of a second interium report which included Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Virginia Commonwealth University, and University of Virginia. The jury reviewed a series of contracts with an Atlanta design consultant and an affiliated printing company, Stein Printing Co., Inc., also of Atlanta. These companies produce Longwood's recruiting brochures and campus guides. Media Directions Inc. is owned by Stein Printing Co. Inc. Media designed Ixmgwood's 1972 view book and since has done a market research study which includes the 1976-78 catalog. According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch this summer, part of the investigation stemmed from the use of color photography in the publications. They sighted the 1976-78 college catalog which used four color pictures on its front and the campus guide which uses color photos exclusively as examples.
John J. Mitchell, the college's director of public affairs, also testified before the special grand jury In an interview with Mitchell, he explained that Stein Printing had only received two of the four contracts over $5,000 from the school. Stone Printing company in Roanoke was awarded the 1976-78 catalog contract Contracts for printing are awarded by the Depart ment of Purchasing and Supply in Richmond. They handle all bids. The college only knows who receives tin contract. longwood College has requested that Shin Printing be allowed to bid. The contracts with the Atlanta firms total $30,000 for consulting and printing services. President Willett stated that as far as he was concerned, "not a penny of tax payers dollar's was wasted." The president told the Richmond Times-Dispatch in May that if there was something wrong with the procedures, "we would strongly recommend that the state adopt such a policy and longwood College will be happy to abide by it." The state has since set up recommendations or guidelines that Longwood had adopted. Before the investigation there were no juch guidelines. The grand jury found that Longwood officials were possible "unwilling parties to a bidding fraud" President Willett stated that, "they found no illegal activity" as far as longwood is concerned He alsi pointed out that the special jury investigation has been completed, involving state purchasing and longwood \ final report has been submitted by the jury
Fees Committee Stagnant By DOUG STROBEL The Student Fees Committee has been an area of increasing concern among organizations and appropriate administrators over the last few years. Hie crust of the problem has been a stagnant or even inactive committee at key appropriation
times. Apparently, it has been difficult to bring student committee members together in order that they may do their appointed jobs. Organizations need to have their budgets approved by the end of each academic year so that some foresight can be used
Enrollment Projections Predicted Stable By BARBARA BAKER The enrollment figures of longwood College are predicted to remain stable throughout the 1980s. We should have all residence halls filled in the HMO's. says Dr. William Peele, VicePresident for Administration. This year the enrollment figure of students had been predicted to be 2,355. However, the actual headcount is 2,400, plus. The reason for this greater number is the increase of returning students on campus; whereas, in the past an average number of 100 students did not return to school. According to demographic studies, there may be a slight decline in enrollment figures in the mid to late 1980s as the result of a nationwide lower birthrate
during the 1960s. These studies are conducted by the Department of Planning and Budget in Richmond and should turn out to be accurate excepting a dramatic change in the nations economical situation. Will there be more males at longwood next year"' Dr. Peele says yes, if past figures are any indication of the future, longwood is experiencing a steady increase ot male enrollment as the news of its being coed is spread by admission counselors and students alike. Dr. Peele states that the entrance requirements for males are the same as for females and no exceptions are made for males for the purpose ot increasing their number on campus
in planning their activities for the next school year. The committee has let budgets ride over to the fall thus fostering limited time for appeal and promoting confusion among those concerned. The committee has been heavily made up of students and will continue so because of a strong administrative belief that students should handle the student appropriations However. this year the committee has been reduced in size in order to make it easier to get all the members together on a specific date. The committee will be comprised of seven students, one faculty member, and the treasurer of the college. Each class will be represented on the fees committee. Another change this year will be the introduction of set meeting times for the committee. In the past the committee was only brought together on a random basis. Dr. Carolyn Wells, Dean of the College, has been instrumental of reshaping the committee. It must be emphasized that she and all others concerned have a fervent belief in heavy student participation on the committee. longwood is one of the only schools where the business office does not handle student appropriation. The idea is that the students add a personal touch to an area of student concern

These flyers can be seen throughout I-ongwood's campus; you have probably seen them and, if you are like many of longwood students, you do not know what SRO is and you watch "The Young and the Restless" at that tune anyway! But, since SRO is a program that your fellow students broadcast, there is reason to tune in. SRO—Standing Room Only—is a weekly radio program involving the Radio and TV Broadcasting (lass iSpeech 311)

Hiner-A Building For All Ages
By JANET REYNOLDS The Hiner building plays a major part of life at longwood. It provides classroom, laboratory, and office space for the Department of Education and Psychology. Also, many anthropology and sociology classes meet in Hiner. The Bureau of Teaching Materials, the audio-visual center, and the tape and film library provide materials as instructional aids to teachers and students on the campus. A closed-circuit television facility expands the resources of learning further. Through the Department of Education and Psychology, students can acquire their student teaching assignments from one of many areas in Virginia. longwood teachers go to Appomattox, Charlotte, Halifax, South Boston. Chesterfield, Henri to, Lynchburg, Roanoke, Fairfax. Danville, Prince Edward, Colonial Heights, and Prince George regions. Constructed in 1912, while Dr. Joseph L. Jarman was the fourth president of the college, the Hiner building was originally known to the area as the Farmville The I>ongwood Car Decals have improved in appearance this year, Training School.

Farmville area attended the school, enabling students to practice teaching. June Ellington, a former pupil of the Farmville Training School, remembers that there was highest regard lor the teachers." Both boys and girls, from grades one to seven were taught by the student teachers. Children could choose to transfer to the public school in Farmville or remain at the Training School. There was a College High School also at the Training School. The area of Long wood's campus today where the Coyner and Graham buildings are located, along with Barlow field, was a play ground for the children that attended the campus school. The building is named after Miss Winnie Vee Hiner. who was a head of the Department of Education and Psychology at longwood. longwood has a history of being known as a teachers college. Obviously, Hiner and the Farmville Training School has contributed tremendously to that history. The various services contained in Hiner will continue to assist in the education of many of us at longwood.
Students Form
English Club By JOD1KERSEY The arrival of the longwood English Club has come with great enthusiasm from students majoring or minoring in English. The first meeting was held two weeks ago and 15 people attended to begin discussing the formation of the club. Even though the club is just forming, there have been ideas proposed concerning the purposes and goals which will be extremely beneficial to those students involved. Dr. Michael Lund was selected to be the club's advisor and he has accepted this position. Some ideas that have been
agreed upon for the club are social gatherings which will include having members of the faculty as guest speakers and having discussion sessions of students writings as well as the great literary works. The club will give students an opportunity to snare their opinions. It will also help to create better relations between the students and professors. As the membership increases, the longwood English Club can only be a successful endeavor because of the interest and determination of students and professors.

Preparation Advised For Job Hunters By JUDI STANLEY On August 29, 1979 the Longwood College Placement Office sponsored a program for student teachers and all other interested students. The speakers for the evening, Mrs. M.E. Mitchell, Don Cable, and Henry Emerson, presented information concerning job interviews, qualities possessed by teachers, hiring processes, and steps to take in applying for a job. Mrs. Mitchell, a Longwood Alumni and Director of I-ongwood's Board of Visitors, spoke of the hiring processes in Newport News, an urban school system. According to Mrs. Mitchell, before interviews are scheduled, the school must have received the applicant's
application, transcripts, and placement file including recommendations. After the school has secured this material an interview with the applicant is scheduled. Mrs. Mitchell stressed that "first impressions do count," so be sure to talk to the interviewer and to maintain eye contact. The interviewer will ask questions to discover your feelings in certain areas. Samples of these areas and the questions that may be asked are: 1. Planning and OrganizationHow important is planning in the overall idea of teaching? 2. Motivation—What type of learning environment do you seek to create in the classroom? 3. Flexibility-Would you prefer to teach alone or with
others and why? 4. Professional Committment— When did you first decide to become a teacher? 5. Diagnostic Teaching— In planning for instruction, what provisions would you make for children at both ends of the learning spectrum? 6. Teacher—Student Relationships—Describe the relationship you would like to have with your students. 7. Discipline-What characterizes your style of classroom management? 8. Reliability What nonrequired activities were you involved in during student teaching? 9. Priorities—What is the ultimate goal in teaching students? To the questioning process, Mrs. Mitchell added three areas in which the applicant is watched during the interview. The first, personal aspects, included appearance, voice quality, interest, empathy, poise, tact, and enthusiasm. In considering instructional processes, the interviewer looks for attitude
towards teaching, conception of classroom management, flexibility, and knowledge of instructional strategy. The remainder of the eligibility of an applicant is determined through experience (student teaching or other teaching experience), transcripts, and references. After this interview is held, there may be a second interview with a particular principal. Then the job candidate should maintain contact with the office through phone calls and letters of thank you. In opening, Don Cable, director Df Personnel in the Campbell County school system (a suburban system), advised the students that one should carefully follow the school system's instructions for application since each system is different. Cable informed students of items that the principals and personnel directors consider: 1. Preparation—Knowledge of subject material, variety, past work, transcripts, student teaching, and attendance records. 2. Recommendations—Get
recommendations from professors, employers, student teaching, previous teachers; one principal stated, "Recommendations are of prime importance as the persons giving them have worked closely with the prospective teacher and know the person on a more individual basis." 3. Personality—Ease of composure, poise, selfconfidence, desire to work, maturity, dedication, resources, outside interests, sense of humor. 4. Children—Knowledge of characteristics, child development, desire to work with children, concern, and recognition of individual differences. 5. Communications—verbal skills, grammar, using of slang, and ability to express self. 6. Miscellaneous—Agtressiveness, plans for the future, compatibility with the school community, your interest in the school (do you ask intelligent questions?). Cable answered the question "Why does one applicant get a (Continued on Page 6)

them with academic and social life at college. It is a well known fact that i problem is easier solved when caught at its beginning instead of at its middle. This program can be whatever the students want to make it. But an interest on the part of the students is necessary and vital if any type of counseling or academic service is to be installed and continued at I/ongwood. It should be known that students have a great deal of power on campus. At many times, though, the students are not willing to put out the energy or the time required to get certain things accomplished. It should also be noted that cooperation and support needs to come from all sides, students being just one aspect. There was once a tutoring service available on campus, but the department heads discontinued turning in the names of students willing to tutor. In turn, the service was abolished. Was it a good program? Did anyone get anything from it? More importantly, is the need for such a service still present? Academics are important, as we all find out one way or the other. But the motivation to "get the job done" too many times is not present. If this becomes a habit, where is the student supposed to turn to for guidance and advice? Miss Swann's door "is open for anyone with study or campus problems." She comments, though, that student imput, interest, feedback and trust are extremely essential and are some of the major factors that will start and keep such programs going on campus. The study seminars are still open to anyone interested. If such a program would be beneficial or at least help to develop a better understanding of academic self, attend one or two sessions. There is nothing to force attendance or a return visit.

Your Turn* Freehmen Plea Dear CHI: Longwood has been changing many of their traditions in the past few years. The newest, of which, is separating the Freshmen class from one another instead of freshmen housing as in the past. Rumor has it that CHI basically walks each time on the Collanade and in front of the former freshman dorms. This letter's purpose is to ask CHI in their future secret walks to possibly exhibit the honorable CHI tradition in front of the Wheeler Dormitory. This is a plea from the intrigued and awaiting freshman (and upperclassmen) of Wheeler.

When the students are away for the summer, what happens at Longwood? That's what most of the Longwood population was wondering after an article that appeared in the Wednesday morning Richmond Times-Dispatch. It seems that a lot of students had not heard of President Willett's appearance before the Richmond special grand jury this summer, or of the planned management studies. One of the first points that President Willett made during an interview with The Rotunda, Thursday was that there was no relationship between the team of "management specialists" and the grand jury investigation. Upon our request, we were shown the final report issued by the grand jury. They came to the conclusion that the Longwood officials which were involved in the second interim report, were possible "unwilling parties to a bidding fraud." They went on to state that, "The procedures used by most state agencies to develop specifications are particularly inadequate." The whole investigation of Longwood came from their involvement with a hired consultant firm, Media Directions and Stein Printing Company, both of Atlanta. The main question seemed to be if there were any unfair contract awardings to Stein because of Media Directions. The awarding of contracts is not done by Longwood, but by the State Department of Purchasing and Supply. Longwood's involvement with that process was that they did request that Stein Printing Company, who owns Media Directions, be allowed to bid. They received two of the four contracts over $5,000 that they bid on. Now that the grand jury investigations are behind Longwood, let's hope that even though there was no "illegal action" or "studied negligence" on the college's part, there was still something gained from it. Media Directions is still under contract to design two more jobs for the college: an athletic brochure and up-dates of the academic brochures. The question now is: Will the administration continue to deal with the Atlanta firms? That may be one of the suggestions made by the "management specialists." Even though their coming here has nothing to do with the jury investigation, one of their suggestions for improvement may just be to consider hiring a local consultant firm. The management group was designed by Governor John N. Dalton and Secretary of Administration of Finance Charles Walker to aid state agencies. The group of experts will study the business operations for the college and make suggestions for improvements. There is one similarity in the jury investigation and the "management experts." The jury was concerned with contracts that would give the college the "highest quality goods at the lowest possible price." The management group is going to try to make suggestions to streamline operations and save money. They should be considered a welcome sight. MCC
anything — except increase the carbon dioxide level in that general vicinity. Longwood is not a perfect college. It needs fresh creative ideas to keep it going. If you have questions or solutions to problems, Longwood offers you several platforms, unlike larger colleges. If you have something to say, or just want to know what's going on, come to the Press conference today at 12:45 in the Lower Dining Hall or come Sunday to the Student-Faculty Retreat which begins at 3 p.m. in Lankford. The Administration will be at both meetings to address your questions. If you can't come to either meeting talk with your class Legislative Board member or write a letter to the Editors of The Rotunda. Let your voice be heard. Sincerely, Debbie Northern Geist Tapping Dear Editors, Oktoberfest Weekend means excitement and fun for the entire student body. If it is to be a success then everyone must do their part by helping with class organization booths and skits. Not only will your color class benefit from the help, but you will gain a sense of satisfaction knowing you were a vital part of the weekend. Geist will be recognizing those students who have shown enthusiasm and a willingness to give their tune and energy at Oktoberfest Tapping Thursday night at 7 p.m. in Jarman. Two ushers from each class will be chosen as well as a Mittenmeister from the sophomore class, a Festmeister from the Junior class, and a Geistmeister from the senior class. Also the klowns for Oktoberfest 1979 will be announced. Everyone is invited to tapping. Show your spirit! Become involved with plans for the biggest festival at Longwood. Blue and White Spirit, Geist Prowler Escapes Dear Editors, This past Saturday night at around 11:30 p.m., while sitting in the chapter room on 2nd floor Stubbs, my sorority encountered a prowler "peeping torn" on the ledge outside the window. After being called, campus police responded to the cry of help and found the "peeping torn" had escaped. This should go to prove that if a man can climb up to a second floor ledge and peer in that something is wrong with campus security. I personally think that the night security should be increased on campus. A Frightened Zeta Spirit Shinei Dear Student Body: During this week the Oktoberfest spirit here at longwood is beginning full force with Klown tryouts and Geist Recognition ceremony Thursday night to tap clowns, class ushers and the Oktoberfest meisters. Oktoberfest includes a wide variety of activities for everyone, Green and White or Red and White, to become involved. Everyone's help and participation is needed to make this year's Oktoberfest successful. Look around and see how you can get involved in Oktoberfest! Don't let all the fun pass you by!

ABORTION: A Woman's Right To Choose By JANET CLEMENTS "While I was trying to decide whether or not to have an abortion, one person suggested that by the use of candles and cloves, I could have a 'will the baby out of my body seance,' " stated a Longwood student who had an abortion. Another student commented that "I knew a 15 year-old girl that found out she was pregnant, and she did belly flops off of the high diving board trying to kill the baby." Attitudes such as these could be responsible for approximately 90 abortions performed on Longwood students from September 1978 to April 1979. This number only accounts for those students who went to the Prince Edward County Health Department for help, and does not include girls who went elsewhere for help. With its legalization in 1973
abortion differs depending on the number of weeks pregnant the woman is. Early abortions performed on women three months pregnant or less are done by the suction method in a clinic or hospital. In this procedure the contents of the uterus are removed by suction, and the procedure takes no more than five to ten minutes. The cost of the suction type abortion is $135, and although the procedure is uncomfortable, it is not described as being painful. After the sixteenth week the saline method of abortion is used. A hospital stay is required, and in this procedure a saline injection is given which terminates the life of the baby and causes the mother to go into labor. This type of abortion costs approximately $800. Abortion has become quite a controversial issue throughout
"When they told me 'yes, you are pregnant' it all collapsed on me. I thought that it could never happen to me, and I was totally shocked.." abortion has become an everyday occurrence with approximately 1.5 million being performed per year in the United States. Of these legal abortions 85 per cent were performed on girls between the ages of 14-24. This age group includes college students, and apparently Longwood students have done much to support this high rate. The Family Planning Clinic for longwood College students, located at the Prince Edward Health Department, was established in September 1978 at the request of college officials. The purpose of the clinic is to help students concerning birth control, abortions, and veneral disease. There is no charge for students at the clinic, and all family planning services are totally confidential. When a person thinks she may be pregnant, the Health Department will give a pregnancy test, and if the test is positive, the family planning team will provide a counselor to help the girl make the decision that is right for her. The alternatives for a problem pregnancy are marriage, single parenthood, adoption, or abortion, and the counselor's main job is to explain each of these choices to the girl. The counselors all agree that they will not make up anyone's mind for them but will help them decide for themselves. Nan Jennings, abortion counselor in Farmville, stated that many longwood students quit school because of a problem pregnancy. "My biggest problem comes with trying to get the girls to realize their priorities. Many girls will say that they can't have the abortion on certain days that I set up because of practice for some sports team or a test the next day" commented Ms. Jennings. The abortions are not performed at the Health Department in Farmville, but the counselors act as a liasion between the girls and the Abortion Clinic in Richmond. "After they have the abortions most of the girls never come back to me for further counseling. I guess they are embarrassed, and when I happen to see one of the girls at the Red Lyon or around town, they usually hide their face from me, avoid me, or leave altogether," she said. Abortions performed up to 24 weeks after conception are legal in the U.S., yet the type of
the United States, and many people feel that abortion is just a nice word for murder. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that in the early stages of pregnancy the decision is up to the woman and her doctor. Some people feel that abortion is not moral — others feel that it is more ethical to have an abortion than to have an unwanted child. One Longwood student found herself in this predicament, and for her it was "the most devastating decision I've ever
said 'yes, go on and have the abortion,' but at that time in my life I really wanted someone to say 'no, don't have the abortion, we'll help you.' I didn't turn to my parents, and they probably would have been the ones to say 'we'll help you.' "My decision was based on the fact that I was young, I wanted to further my education, and most of all I didn't have any money. In making such a decision the overwhelming feeling is that you're totally alone. I decided to have the abortion because it wouldn't be fair to have a child without a father and without adequate finances. At that point I wasn't mature enough to handle the pregnancy, let alone having the child. It wasn't a question of marrying the guy because I knew I wasn't in love with him, and we could never have made it as a family. "I went to the Richmond Medical Center for Women on a Friday morning for my abortion. The procedure there is to pair two girls up and let them be together through the entire lead-up process to the abortion. The first thing you do is have a check-up, and then you meet with your group. The girl I was paired with was about 15 years old and it was her third abortion. She was totally ignorant of birth control, and none of the counseling seemed to phase her. "The entire counseling session was great, and I never felt pressurized. It was very much a free will decision, and if you decided you didn't want the
Abortion Facts: — Abortions performed in the first trimester of pregnancy are six times safer than childbirth. — An unborn baby's heart begins to beat between the eighteenth to twenty-fifth day. — One out of every three couples practicing birth control will have an unwanted pregnancy within a five-year period. — At nine to ten weeks the unborn baby squints, swallows, moves his tongue; if you stroke his palm he will make a tight fist and at three months he is sucking his thumb vigorously. — Abortion is usually free in England, Sweden, Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union and China. In many other countries abortion costs are subsidized by the government. — By eleven to twelve weeks the baby begins to breathe, fingernails are present and by sixteen weeks it has eyelashes. — "No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother" -Margaret Sanger — "Thou shalt not kill." — Exodus 20:13 made." Some women cannot afford to raise another child, some do not want to bear a child out of wedlock, and some do not want to interrupt their careers. Whatever the reason, having an abortion often triggers complex emotional conflicts. This is true in the case of a I-ongwood student who had an abortion four years ago. Her experiences clearly reveal the inner conflict which this life altering decision causes. "When they told me 'yes, you are pregnant' it all collapsed on me. I thought that it could never happen to me, and I was totally shocked. I didn't automatically turn to the abortion route, and I thought seriously of adoption or even keeping the child. I turned to friends, and my younger sister, and they all advised me to have an abortion. Up until that time I had been anti-abortion, and I didn't think I could go through having one. I really love children, and the idea of having the opportunity and not taking it really bothered me. Everyone
abortion, you could get up and leave at any time. The whole counseling session took about four hours since it was very involved. They were concerned about your health and concerned whether you really wanted the abortion. "The actual abortion took all of about three minutes. They used the suction method, and there was no real pain during the course of the abortion itself. I was weakened by the abortion and some cramping did occur. The coldest part of the whole ordeal was the actual abortion itself. They got it over quickly and moved me into a room with beds in it until I was unable to stand up and walk. When I got to my apartment I did feel a little depressed. The depression was because I had not really wanted to have an abortion, and I chose it as a last resort or what I thought was a last resort. I'm sure now looking back I could have thought of a thousand things I could have done instead. I do not regret the abortion because I think that
even though my reasons for chosing the abortion were not the right reasons, they have ended up being rationalized throughout the last four years, and I can deal *ith it now. At the time it was more traumatic. "I did wonder what it looked like, but I kept telling myself I have made the decision, now I'm going to have to live with it, and
such a responsibility. A baby is nothing to base a marriage on, and a marriage that's forced on you because of a pregnancy doesn't have much of a chance. "The experience did help me to mature, and at this point in time I would never be in the situation where I would get pregnant again. All I have to say to anyone in the position to get pregnant is
in order to do that I had to do some sort of rationalizing. At that point in time I tried not to think about the fact that it was probably a small and miniature sample of life, and I just didn't want to deal with that then. "What is so heartrending is a few weeks later when you are talking to someone, and they say, 'Oh, did you hear that so and so had an abortion?' you just have to let it fall off your shoulders — you've done what you think is right for you and the situation at hand. If I had let half the comments that people made about abortions bother me, I would probably be in Eastern or Western State right now tearing out my hair. "When I look back on the experience, I regret that I put myself in the situation, but I have no one to blame but myself. That was the hard thing to face because a lot of people try to blame it on the guy or sit around saying 'why me?' You have to face the problem by realizing that it was your fault that you got pregnant in the first place. "Considering the abortion issue, I feel that abortion is not for everyone, but that it is an individual decision. I don't want to see anyone else ever go through what I did. I don't want someone to have to sit and debate whether or not they want to have an abortion. It's a horrible burden to put yourself through and very, very awkward to have to deal with in your own life. It devastates you for a period of time because you don't know where to go or what to do. You're constantly questioning your motives and asking yourself 'Am I just having this abortion because I don't want the responsibility for my own mistake?' and that was the hardest question to answer. if I'd had the baby I would never have been prepared for
DON'T BE STUPID because it only takes one time to get pregnant. It only takes going to bed once and that's plenty!" For this student abortion nelped her to salvage her life ifter her problem pregnancy, and she was able to continue with tier education and put her problem in the past. Yet some people have extreme psychological problems after an abortion. An account of such a problem occurred with a 44 year-old lady who had been childless during her marriage. A Christian women with a Jewish husband, they had been unable to adopt a child because of their mixed religion. She longed for a child but was sterile as several tests had shown her tubes to be blocked. After a routine examination with her doctor, she was told that because of continuing fibroid enlargement, her uterus would have to be removed. After hearing this she went into hysterics and collapsed on the floor. After considerable time, sedatives and support she revealed her story. She related how she had become pregnant while in college and had had an abortion "by an excellent surgeon." She had been sterilized by the abortion. Throughout her marriage she had hoped that she would somehow conceive. Now the doctor had just told her that her womb must be removed and her last hope for a baby was gone forever. Her only words were, "I killed the only baby I ever bore." Throughout the United States there are many people who want to outlaw abortion and decide how the rest of the nation should conduct their lives. The abortion debate is spreading throughout the U.S., and one onlooker calls it "a battle of bumper stickers between people with their minds I Continued on Page 6i

You'll have a good opportunity during the Student Union sponsored Special Events Week coming up September 22 through the 28th. This year's general theme is "American Folk Culture", and will provide a good opportunity to explore what life was once like. To set the mood for the week of entertainment and education, the first day provides some of both in an outdoor setting. From 1 to 11 p.m., the Dell will be transformed into the past by various demonstrations and exhibits of folk crafts as well as country and bluegrass bands.

Musical DiversityIncites Enthusiasm By FRANK CREASY What will three dollars buy these days? Normally, not much. But the Longwood students who paid three dollars to see last Tuesday's concert would probably say that they got their money's worth (and if your Economics professor had been there, he would have agreed). The S-UN sponsored concert packed a one-two punch of Robbin Thompson and the Dixie Dregs, whose reputations preceded their appearance. The evening began as Robbin
demonstration, also in the Gold Room. Thursday afternoon, from 1 to 4 p.m., there will be a showing of three films dealing with folk arts and crafts—"American Folk Art", "Folk Artists of the Blue Ridge" and "Under the Covers" in the White and Green Rooms. To conclude the week's events, The Apple Chill Cloggers will demonstrate the art of clogging to bluegrass music. The time is 8 p.m. in the Red, White and Green Rooms. With the combination of educational and entertaining events, hopefully Special Events Week will offer "something for everyone" who is interested in a gone but not forgotten past.
Thompson and the No Slack Band displayed their ability to incite enthusiasm throughout an audience. Thompson and the band, always a Longwood favorite, began with an upbeat stylization of "Sweet Virginia Breeze". Other hits such as "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" and "Highway 101" left Jarman auditorium ringing with applause and screams of praise. The No Slack Band has proven time and again why they are respected professionals. They come armed with close-knit and finely honed instrumentation which is tempered by outstanding vocals. Despite Thompson's spectacular show, the undisputed showcase of the night was the Dixie Dregs. The Dregs are a quintet consisting of guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and electric violin. The biggest difference between the Dixie Dregs and most new groups is that the Dregs shun vocals to highlight the quality of the music itself, which is a blend of four major musical distinctions-rock, jazz,

country and classical. Any attempt to enumerate the diversity of musical talents enamored by the Dixie Dregs would tend to be voluminous in detail. Their style is so new, so unique, that it may be years before their impact on the music world, is fully recognized or appreciated To realize the excitement the Dregs can generate would have required only a glance at the audience in Jarman. From the strains of their country-style song "The Bash", until the end of the concert, the audience was on its feet, applauding and cheering. Few groups to visit Jarman are capable of such a feat. Was the concert really as good as all this? Ask someone who was there, as for myself, I got my three bucks' worth.

The first production of the season by the Longwood Players is a new, exciting, play entitled, A Former Gotham Gal. The play, a comedy set in the present, will be performed September 26-29 in Jarman Auditorium at 8 p.m. The play was written by Gloria Gonzalez, a successful new playwright, who is presently working on a pilot situation comedy for CBS-TV, and recently completed a full length film for ABC. Miss Gonzalez resides in West New York, New Jersey. A Former Gotham Gal won the 1978 Southeastern Theater Conference Playwriting Competition and is also being put on in full production at the new Playwright's Theater in Washington. Gotham Gal is a play about an unusual woman named Geraldine who has gathered around her a strange menagerie of people in her household. There is Anthony Baker Ford, the famous deafmute TV critic; Cissy, the wouldbe actress who entertains at shopping centers dressed as a chicken or a bear; Sammy, the black detective, dedicated to her profession, his jogging, morning coffee, and his macho image; Papa, interested in pornography and poker, and a n'er-do-well from Geraldine's past; and finally, Daphne, a photographer who wanders in off the street with Geraldine's son, Rhett; and Marty, a little league coach who barkeeps on the side. The principal character is school systems all were the same; however, he stressed that in his system the placement file and references were most important. Therefore, one should have references written by people who could make a sound, professional judgement of one's work. When asked if it is advisable for a student to work on a masters degree before or during teaching, all three speakers said that this is a good idea. While the school must give a higher salary to a teacher who has obtained a masters degree, they like to see the enthusiasm and such plans for the future. In answer to a question concerning job openings in the next few years, the speakers agreed that mathematics, science, SDecial education,
Geraldine, and the activity of this wild collection of people centers around her. She has a rough exterior, but is a very tender individual on the inside. She has had many husbands and lovers and has led a rather wild and permissive life. At the same time, it has been an unlucky and heart-breaking life, a not very fulfilling life. Much of the action of the play centers around the return of an old boy-friend named Jack to her life. Jack's return proves to be as funny as it is disruptive, and in the end, is another great disappointment for Geraldine. However, Geraldine has one unique quality as a person and that is endurance. In spite of all her disappointment, she maintains her humorous perspective on life and continues to collect a menagerie of unusual individuals in her household even as others leave either in sadness or in the joy of finding a new life. Vicky Mann plays Geraldine. Other members of the cast are: Kerry McCarthy, Rusty Hurley, Diane Wright, Marshall Jones, Jack Tolbert, Chris Conner, Neil Sawyer, Tom Willis, and John Crosby. Dr. Douglas Young, who is the director, is very pleased with the hard-working cast and crew, and has enjoyed working on this play. He says that A Former Gotham Gal is guaranteed to make you laugh. The play is free with Ixmgwood I.D. and $2.50 for general audience. Parental Discretion is advised. speech pathology, and grades four through seven would be the most open areas. The least open areas will be physical education, history, and English.
Abortion (Continued from Page 5) already made up." People that are pro-abortion rally around their cry of "Abortion: A Woman's Right To Choose," while their opponents shout "Abortion: A Woman's Right to Kill." There are pros and cons to the abortion issue, but only the individual can decide whether it s right for her. The Supreme Court has made its decision—the decision to let people choose. The facts only serve to add further confusion to the issue.

Miller Rejected Ry MELODY CRAWLEY Ix)ngwood College has rejected Miller Brewers' proposal to sponsor their first basketball tournament this fall. The Board of Visitors had given its approval of the sponsorship at its .July meeting with a heated discussion and a final 5-4 vote. According to President Henry I. Willett, Jr., he decided to reject Miller's offer after hearing much opposition to the fact. He stated that this subject aroused a lot of people and he received more correspondence on this than on a lot of other matters. The major objection to Miller sponsoring the tournament was that the) were a brewery. President Willett had told the board in July that he was, "Not sure in the long run that the harm would be that great. I wish it were other than a brewery." The Miller proposal included the bearing of some $3,000 in expenses for the four teams competing. It also included conditions that the tournament name mention Miller Brewery on banners displayed in the gymnasium, and that a hospitality room be provided. Under their plan, the college would keep all gate receipts. The college is in the process of trying to find another sponsor for the November 23-24 tournament. However, the tournament will be played with or without a sponsor. Funds will be obtained from the Longwood Foundation. The tournament will feature four teams: I-ongwood, Stony Brook (N.

swim. A year beforehand. l)r Berkis made headlines when he swam 10 miles across Maryland's Chesapeake Baj m less than twelve hours, earning several Red Cross mileage certificates. He accomplished this by swimming from Kosenhaven on the western shore to Tilghman's Island on the eastern shore. In May of 1978. he completed a 100 mile swim in Florida. Berkis has also swam off the New York Shore and the Ciulf of Mexico. As a teenager, he polished his swimming skills in the Baltic Sea Today, the "part-time Floridian" reveals that he enjoys bicycling, skiing, and skating, but "swimming is my favorite physical exercise." Despite his advanced age, Dr. Berkis was recently advised by a heart specialist to "continue strenuous physical exercises." A nonsmoker and moderate drinker, Dr. Berkis plans to continue his demanding regimen. "Good sleep and exercise go together," he observed. He also advises people of all ages to eat a well-balanced diet, which includes fruits, vegetables, and cod liver oil. Though he considers it "risky," Dr. Berkis is thinking about swimming across the British Channel; one of his lifetime dreams.
