French Renovation Begins By JOE JOHNSON The girls have fled and the workers have taken over the now evacuated French building. 1st floor FVench building—Mountains of bagged insulation fill the lobby. Black foam and unwaxed floors marked where carpets once layered the hallway. 2nd floor French building—Unhinged doors and dismantled sinks are scattered throughout the stark, barren rooms. 3rd floor French building—A cool breeze blows through gaps where walls and windows once definitely stood. "It is slowly and thoroughly being devastated so that later it may be recreated into a far more efficient and appealing
building," said Mr. Roy Hill, Jr., Director of Physical Plant at Longwood. The demolition of the dorms started on January 26 and will be finished February 11 when the refraining process of the construction work will begin. "We plan on converting the dorms into 2 and 3 room suites with baths and a separate place for studying." Mr. Hill also said that this architectural layout will actually add space for 2 more rooms on each floor. Other improvements are also being planned. New light fixtures and a new public address and fire alarm system are going to be installed. Each room will have its
own telephone and heat control. Radiator covers and vinyl flooring will be added to make the rooms more attractive and easier to keep clean. Six construction companies bid on the French building contract which was approved as a capital outlay project. The lowest bid was made by the Lewis Bridgeforth Construction Co. which is now the general contractor for the undertaking. The architectural firm that designed the floor plan is CrossRhodes Company. The estimated cost for the entire project will be about $629,900. Mr. I. Finney, Resident Inspector for Longwood College,
said that when the idea was first initiated in 1972, the cost was a little over $250,000, but with staggering inflation and quadrupling interest rates, the price soon jumped way past that mark. The Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board of Visitors has also approved plans for redesigning the French swimming pool. It will be an indoor-outdoor pool with a 4'x4' skylight and a sliding glass door or roll-up garage door for one of its walls. This removable wall will lead out onto a patio which will overlook the tennis courts on the west side. The physical plant also has

renovation ideas for Main Cunningham, North Cunningham and the annex. They hope to add fire sprinklers, install new bathroom fixtures and lay tile in all the rooms. They plan on building a kitchen, study and laundry room for the basement of North Cunningham. A suite for the handicapped may be added in South Cunningham. Although the State legislature has yet to approve the Cunningham buildings' renovations, Mr. Hill and Mr. Finney feel confident that by this time next year, they will be drawing up a budget for the improvements needed in these buildings.

Sophomores Do It Up Right ByTAMARANASH For those of you who may think the Sophomores have been out of the limelight lately, think again. As Sophomore Week approaches the Class of '83 has prepared to step out and step out in style. Under Chairman Kelly Jones, the week of February 23-28 is packed full of fun and excitement for the entire Longwood community. The week begins with the Sophomore Auction at 7:30 p.m. in the Lankford ABC Rooms. Chaired by Sarah Rengstorf, the annual auction involves the • auctioning of items donated from faculty and local merchants. Be sure to be there to place your bid for some most interesting and desirable items! Monday is also Red-n-White Day in honor of the freshmen and junior classes but on Tuesday,
it's time to "strut your green" for Green-n-White Day. Tuesday is also the first day of production for the Sophomore Road Show.Under the direction of Lisa Bowers and Cherie Stevens, the "Charlie Brown Gang" will travel to Holly Manor in Farmville. Wednesday, the cast will travel to Richmond to appear at the Crippled Children's Home and the Richmond Memorial Hospital. In compliance with longwood tradition, Wednesday is officially Blue-n-White Day. Put Chairman Pam Coffman, Ross Conner, Mark Winecoff, and seven sophomore acts into a room together and what do you get? Thursday night's entertainment! Held in the Gold Room, Sophomore Open Mike will provide some of the best acts this side of Broadway!
How could one possibly end a week like this with as much class as it deserves? How about a mixer Friday night in the lower dining hall from 9:00 til 1:00 featuring CHESS. The admission will be $1.50 for sophomores, $2.00 for Longwood students, and $2.50 for guests. Mary Cawthorne chaired the Mixer Committee. After all their hard work, the sophomores will be allowed .50 off the admission price to the Student Union's Saturday Night Live with SILVERSPRING. The sophomores have a week planned that will provide something for everyone. Be sure to catch any and all of the activities you can. It's guaranteed that after February 28, there will be no doubt that the Qass of '83 knows how to do it up right!
By JOE JOHNSON The jewelry which was stolen from I^ncaster Ubrary Gallery on January 27 has been returned! Mr. Mark Baldridge, Associate Professor of Art at Longwood is the goldsmith who formed the precious metal works (jewels) which were being displayed as part of the Annual Art Department Faculty Show when they were stolen. The art work's miraculous reappearance was confirmed by Campus Police Chief, Neil Smith, on Thursday, February 12. When asked about the approximate time of reappearance or possible suspects, the Ixmgwood Police Chief refused to comment. The Jewelry was returned to the Longwood Post Office sometime between January 28 and February 10. Patty Scholberg, a student employee of the Longwood Post Office, said that a long brown envelope with a note attached to it had been lying around the office for nearly a week when Mrs. Yeatts, also an employee of the Post Office, read the note which had the letters SPE written on it. Mrs. Yeatts, apparently thinking the letters stood for the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity, put the package in Jeff Houser's mail box. Jeff Houser is a Sigma Phi Epsilon brother who also works in the Post Office. Both Jeff Houser and Patti Scholberg have been questioned by police investigators. When hearing of the jewelry's safe return, Mr. Baldridge said, "I am just thankful to get the work back without harm. I am also thankful for all the support given to me by everybody around here." When asked if he would like to apprehend the person who stole the art work, he said, "Yes...it's people like him (the thief) that make you wonder if all the effort and time you put into a project is worth it...I'd like to burn him as much as possible."

Graham To Lecture From Public Affairs The next Faculty colloquium I lecture at I xmgwood College will feature Dr. Gerald P. Graham discussing 'The Physiological Potential of the Female Athlete." Dr. Graham will speak on Wednesday evening, February 18. at 7:30 in the Wygal Building auditorium. His lecture is open to the public without charge. Title IX legislation has raised many issues concerning the status of the female in the world of athletics, Dr. Graham states. Questions are being asked as to whether the female can perform the same physical tasks as the male and, if so, how close sh< come to the male's level of performance. These questions are important not only in athletics, he says, but to the military, police, firefighters, and heavy industry. Another aspect of Dr. Graham's lecture will concern "the physiological consequences of a woman pursuing highly stressful conditioning," including her
susceptibility to injury and gynecological problems. Dr. Graham's major research interests concern the physiology of exercise or how the body responds to physical activity. A strong advocate of aerobic, or cardiovascular, exercise for fitness, he directs Ixwigwood's annual minithon run. A certified exercise technologist, Dr. Graham is qualified to perfcrm graded exercise testing on persons age 35 and under who have no coronary risk factors and to assist a physician in the testing of all other persons. He has recently been selected to serve on the State Advisory Council of the American Heart Association as a member of the Cardiovascular Health Education Committee. A member of the Ixmgwood faculty since 1972, Dr. Graham holds degrees from Muskingum College, Ohio State University, and the Ph.D. from Kent State Universin

Captivating Parker By LISA KOWALIK William Parker gave an impressive performance in Jarman auditorium last Friday which made opera sound like an understandable and enjoyable type of music, instead of an unheard of foreign language. Mr. Parker, a baritone opera singer, and his accompanist William Huckaby performed a variety of compositions ranging from Charles Wakefield Cadman's "Four American Indian Songs" to Ned Rorem's grisly war scenes. Mr. Parker opened the show with four compositions by Charles Wakefield Cadman, whose music is based on the
tribal melodies of the Omaha and Iroquois Indians. Throughout the show, Mr. Parker used gestures and facial expressions to further explain the operas. Explaining the Cadman selection "Far Off I Hear a Lover's Flute," Mr. Parker related to the audience the "Indians' belief the souls of the dead come alive in the stars of the Milky Way," and then gave a rousing rendition of the song, which describes a soldier looking up in the sky to find the star that is his sweetheart. Mr. Parker brought alive Ned Rorem's "A Night Battle," "Specimen Case" and "The Real War Will Never Get in the Books;" all of which were gr-

uesomely realistic descriptions of the horrors of the Vietnam War. Contrasting with the seriousness of the first half of the show, Mr. Parker opened the second half on a much lighter note, bringing smiles to the audience with Igor Stravinsky's humorous romantic interlude "The Owl and the Pussy-Cat" and concluding with a lively rendition of Charles Ive's "He Is There!," written to commemorate America's victory in WWI. Mr. Parker came out for two encores, "Beautiful Dreamer," which he announced as a Valentine present, and "I Ix>ve My Voice," which he dedicated to all the voice majors.
Sound Gallery Presents Silent Partner By SUSAN BUTLIN Coming up February 24, Sound Gallery presents, "Silent Partner". What is Silent Partners, you say? I'm sure there are quite a few guesses but the right answer is this; Silent Partner is an original rock duo. I say original because they are not a dance band nor does their music sound like any other band.
Kemp Jones and Don Porterfield make up with duo with Jones on the keyboards and guitar, and Porterfield on the bass, keyboards and guitar. They harmonize while they play an array of instruments including a mini-Moog, a Yamaha electric guitar, an acoustic guitar, ke> board bass and electric bass pi is various arcane pedds
treadles and foot switches. Heavy emphasis is placed on their lyrics and vocals. "Hung By A Thread", the duo's debut album, recorded in 1978, consists of Jones, Porterfield and former members Ben Bickerstaff and David James, (both whom of which are no longer with "Silent Partner"). The album has been described as being "natural, certainty of self and directness". The story behind this album is rather interesting. It was fi-
nanced, produced, and designed by the group, as a calculated nsK. No one in the band had much recording experience or familiarity with the studio. Some of "Silent Partner's" previous engagements include: Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, University of Tampa in Florida, University of Georgia and many other places other than universities such as: The Zodiac and Cave in Virginia Beach, and The Sun Deck in Isle
of Palms in South Carolina. It seems that each of their previous engagements turned out to be very successful and Silent Partner has been highly recommended to Ixwigwood by other Student Union Activities Directors. They will appear in the red, white and green rooms at 8:30. Admission is $1.00. Keep February 24th open and see what sounds are rockin' with "Silent Partner".

Rimers of Eldritch is sure to make you think as well as entertain you. Dr. Young, the cast, and crews have worked diligently to prepare Rimers of Eldritch into a fantastic show — one you won't want to miss!

Lancers Sparkle In Victory From Sports Info Ending a four-game losing streak, I.ongwood's men's basketball team turned in its finest performance of the season Saturday night in a 92-79 triumph over host Liberty Baptist. The lancers (15-9) wind up their regular season play this week at home with Radford Friday. Division I Howard Saturday and North Carolina Central Monday. The Lancers, who played at Pembroke State on Monday, face tough opposition in the coming week. Radford, which has been on a hot streak recently, beat Longwood 58-57 January 31. Without a doubt the toughest opponent the lancers will face in the regular season, Howard boasts a towering frontline that measures 6-8, 6-9 and 6-11. Known as "The Dunk Patrol,"
Howard's Bison had collected 76 slams in their first 19 games as of February 10. Leading the way are 6-9, 210 forward James Ratiff with 28, 6-8, 230 forward Larry Spriggs with 22 and 6-11, 220 center James Terry with 18. While Howard has had an up-anddown season, its frontline will present big troubles for the lancers whose tallest eager is 66. The contest will be Longwood's first ever against a Division I foe in men's basketball. Junior tri-captain Kenny Ford flashed the form that made him an All-American last season in longwood's big win over Liberty Baptist Saturday night. Ford canned 10 of 12 shots from the floor and scored eight points in less than two minutes as longwood snuffed the Flames in the second half.
Ford, who now has 976 career points, could become longwood's first 1,000 point scorer in men's basketball if he can score 24 or more points the rest of the season. The 6-2 forward had plenty of help from his friends Saturday night as six I^ancers reached double figures. Senior Thomas Alston hit seven of seven field goals and scored 15 points as Longwood hit 24-27 shots in the second half for a sizzling 88.9 per cent. Alston scored six points in two minutes as the Lancers pulled away from a 36-36 halftime score to go ahead 63-46. (Continued on Page 8)
By LISA SPENCER The William & Mary-Longwood gymnastics meet Friday night was a much anticipated one for the Lady Lancers for two major reasons: It was the first time in two years that the teams have met in a regular season competition, and W&M was the only team Longwood failed to defeat last season. So when the Lady Lancers emerged victorious by a score of 128.55 to 122.30, they realized that their chances for the state and regional championships are closer than ever before. Longwood has only one major obstacle to overcome before the championships begin—they travel to East Tennessee Saturday for a meet with James Madison and ETSU. JMU defeated longwood earlier this season, but Coach Ruth Budd
Player Of The Week By LISA SPENCER Freshman gymnast Monica Chandler dominated last week's gymnastics meet with East Carolina and led the Lady Lancers to a record-breaking team score of 129.75. For her efforts, Chandler has been selected as longwood College Player Of The Week for the period February 6-13. Monica's recent accomplishments include establishing a new floor exercise record (8.75) for Longwood, scoring a season-high 32.95 allaround total, and placing second in vaulting (8.50), bars (7.95), and beam (7.75) against ECU and VPI. But even though she has played a big role in the Lady Lancers recent record-breaking performances, Monica has found it to be difficult to adjust to collegiate gymnastics. "I have found that there is a big difference in high school and college gymnastics," commented Monica. "There is much more competition and pressure than I've ever experienced. But sometimes that pressure makes me perform better." Monica entered the longwood gymnastics program on an excellent note—she was the reigning Virginia State AA Champion in bars, vaulting, floor exercise, and all-around. Although Monica will readily admit that she loves gymnastics, she has no romantic illusions about the sport. "Gymnastics is a big part of my life," she stated,
"But sometimes it can be very lonely. If you're injured, or you have a bad meet, you have to try very hard not to become depressed." A major boost for Monica has been the closeness she has found with the other girls on the team. She has many compliments for her teammates: "Everyone is always ready to help each other. There is always someone there to give you confidence or to help you with a routine. They are really great girls." Monica, who has been the allaround champion for longwood twice this season, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm T. Chandler of Sterling.
feels very confident about meeting them again. "I feel like we can give them more of a run for their money this time," stated Budd. "We have improved tremendously since we last met with JMU." Kathy Idelson was again longwood's mainstay in Friday's meet. She had a season high 33.35 to win the all-around competition, took first place in the balance beam and bars, and second places in vaulting and floor exercise. Lisa Winkler, who transferred to Longwood from W&M, proved she had found a home with the I^ady Lancers by tying with Idelson for first place on bars. Also placing for Longwood were-ALL-AROUND: 2ndSharon Pillow; VAULTING: 3rdPillow and 4th-Kim Pickel; BARS: 4th-Pillow; BEAM: 2nd-Pillow; and FLOOR EXERCISE: 3rd-Monica Chandler and 4th-Pillow. This win boosted the I^ady I oncers' record to 9-2.
Valentine'$ Day Victories ByKURTCOFFIELD The Scrapplers traveled to Towson State, Maryland, February 14 and marked up 2 victories to their record. After losing to host Towson State, 47-6. the mat men came back to defeat Howard University 26-25, and Loyola University of Baltimore 25-21. Against Division I for Towson St. Dan Richards defeated his opponent by a major decision, while Mike Freischlag drew with opponent, accounting for longwood's total points. In the 2nd match versus Howard University, another Division I adversary, longwood was the recipient of four forfeits. With 24 free points all the Srapplers needed was another draw from Mike Freischlag to ice the victory. In the final match against Loyola University, Longwood wrestlers scored their points in a streak, from the 142 lb. class to the 190 lb. class. Both Freischlag and Steve Shennett scored major decisions over their adversaries. In the 3 succeeding matches David Dodd, Roy Carswell, and Joe Bass recorded 11 team points between them, enough to secure the longwood victory. On Tuesday the 17th the Srapplers take on Elon College at 7:30 in lancer Hall. Come on out and support the Wrestlers in their last home match of the season.

SPORTS Sports Profile By MARK KARL SEGAL There is this little town down in the Southern part of Virginia, in the flatlands. And these boring flatlands are theoretically indicative of their personage. But it appears there is an oasis amongst the absence of contour; it is called Clarksville. Clarksville is not actually the oasis, but is the owner of the oasis. And the camel that has been stuffing his gullet at the watering hole happens to be Jerome — not Jerome A. Kersey or Jerome P. Kersey — but just Jerome Kersey. That is all. So Jerome the camel is feeding his face at the oasis — which we will call Bluestone High School. It was there that our hairy desert rhino nourished himself with enough basketball talent and accomplishments to take the journey to Farmville. So far urban theory pertaining to small town accomplishments stands untouched. But I will attack that aspect of the cityslickers as Country-bumpkin. I will be aided by my faithful camel Jerome. He and I will shake the loose twigs from Thoreau's tree of simplicity and prove that the "nice guy" from nature can keep his simplistic values in a screaming world of big guns and succeed. Jerome is a shocker. The big basketball sensation at Ixmgwood while only a freshman is only 18 years old. He didn't leave Clarksville empty handed. His senior year at Bluestone he was first-team all-district, second-team all-regional, his team's best offensive player and the team's Most Valuable Player while playing forward. He didn't come to Longwood on those credentials either. His friend from home, All-American Collegiate baseball player Doug Toombs told the coaches at Longwood about this sleeping prodigy backhome. Martin Schoepfer, assistant coach to Dr. Ron Bash, went to see him play at a tournament. He never spoke to Jerome. "I heard he was there (at the game)," tells Kersey. "I got a letter from Coach Bash to come and scrimmage with the team last spring. He saw me play and said he liked the way I played. Right there on the sidelines he offered me a scholarship to play ball." While Jerome's grandmother was wiggling restlessly in her seat back home at the sound of the big news, Jerome was packing his off court demeanor and getting ready for the haul to Farmville. No one else in the rural high school received a scholarship from any basketball teams that year. "Some folks back home didn't believe me when I first told them. But everybody was happy for me," exclaims Jerome. Jerome is not out after practices sharpening his skills to destroy the enemy (city slicker) mentally. It doesn't interest Jerome to lead such a life. Well without the mental edge of just plain meanness how does he go one on one on the court and always seem to succeed? Perhaps his simplistic values make things easy. Nothing complicated, just a world of good
and evil (stay away from the evil) and work and play. "When you get on the court it is total seriousness. Some guys laugh and stuff before and during the game. But when I am on the court it's time to play ball. You can laugh, sure, but only after you win." Win is what the Lancers did last year (28-3). This year with a move to Division II the Lancers have thus conquered only 14 games out of 23. Not so bad — but not as glamorous as the Final Four team of 1979. Maybe Ron Bash is just stuck in between the years of excellent and very good. Whatever, Bash leaves no room for disgrace. In 1974 Bash coached at Stony Brook; his first season there and only his second coaching. He turned the team completely around. That first season went 2-21. Three years later after consistently bettering the team's win loss record he ended up 27-4. The season before Bash entered Longwood the team was 8-16. He continued his path of destruction with a 19-8 record, then on to glory; 28-3. It was that kind of winning and determination that sucked Jerome's talent into Longwood's Bash oriented basketball vacuum. It was Longwood's vicinity to home and small town atmosphere that convinced him to come. The 6'5", 200 pounder was astonished even by his trip to Alaska where the Lancers played. "When we went to Alaska it was my first time flying. The others had flown before — I think

Lady Lancers Back On Track
I was the only one," revealed Jerome. He even felt that Anchorage was "a miniature New York," and Anchorage is less than half the size of Richmond. But his awe of the big city didn't destroy his small town determination. The Lancers who were expected to go 0-4 in Alaska games some how ended up 3-1 against teams that played the likes of powerful North Carolina. Yet back amongst the 48 contiguous states the Lancers are some how coming up short in the W column. "We make the same mistakes; just little things. When we are losing by a few points we get fouls by trying to steal the ball." Jerome speaks from his dorm room among quarters exemplary of his off court demeanor: beds made, no dust, pictures of basketball games and one of Ralph Sampson standing by the Rotunda in Charlottesville. The pictures are above his bed; looking down on him while sleeping. In the middle of the room sits a coffee table; an altar to his accomplishments. This is where he displays his treasured scrap book of Friday night games that were won. He was a high school hero bringing acclaim and attention to a high school of hamburger eating adolescents. But the days of hormonal glory are over. He is now on the road to real winning. He will always keep that first scrap book but it will lose its importance as he moves to bigger things. Already Bash says, "He is the leader of the team even in the freshman year. Some of the guys look for him when the going gets rough." Longwood is only the beginning, continues Bash. "If he can continue to have the same rate of improvement that he is having now later in life — I see him as having unlimited potential." This doesn't only encompass basketball and Bash knows that. "He has fulfilled all of our expectations on and off the court. He is well respected for his demeanor on and off the court." So our buddy the camel moves on. Longwood will be but another water fountain. Even here in a bigger and faster world than Clarksville, he stands out as an oasis amongst the dryness. "I don't get in to that fraternity stuff. It is not for me," he will tell. He still wants to live his own life at his own pace, and surely he is happy inside. He has to be.
