New Proposal For SGA ByCHRISTI LEWIS Wednesday evening, November 5, at 7 p.m., Legislative Board will be holding an Open Forum to discuss the new proposal for Longwood's Student Government Association. For almost a year, members of the executive council of the Student Government Association, various students, and administration have been working together to reconstruct the existing system. Hoping to unify the various organizations included in the entire Student Government Association, they have come up with a new proposal. One of the most significant changes is the establishment of a Student Senate. The Senate will be composed of the 10 executive council members, 13 residence hall representatives, four class presidents, 12 class representatives, two day students, and one graduate student. They will meet once a month or when special meetings are called by the president. There will be five major committees under the Student Senate: Legislative Review, Campus life. Residence Hall Life, and Student Union. Another major change involves the Residence Hall Councils. Residence Hall Councils and Judicial Board will handle all judicial procedures while the new committee, Residence Hall life, will coordinate Residence Hall Councils and help with problems in the residence halls. All Residence Hall Presidents (one elected from each residence hall, two from Curry and Frazer)
will serve on the Residence Hall Life committee. As explained in a handout on the new proposal Judicial Board will be set up as follows: The Judicial Board consists of a chairman, vice-chairman and secretary, and a pool of 16 members from the senate who generally take turns as coordinated by the vicechairman. This pool of 16 is comprised of the 12 class representatives, the SGA treasurer, SGA recording secretary, chairman of Campus Life, and the chairman of Residence Hall Life Committee. The investigators for Judicial Board shall consist of two seniors, two juniors, two sophomores, and two freshmen. The committee for Honor Code violations consists of four of the above, one selected from each class and likewise for the College Violations Committee in addition to three administrative staff members as selected by the President of the College. Under College Violations, the Judicial Board will be responsible for vandalism, physical abuse, threats, descriptive conduct, interference with judicial procedure, repeated andor serious violations of college regulations, and tampering with fire equipment. Under Honor Code Violations, the Judicial Board will be responsible for lying, cheating, plagiarism, and stealing. Judicial Board procedures would be the same as outlined in the Handbook For Students on pages 21, 22 with one addition (Continued on Page 8)

Sign-In/Sign-Out Proposal Vetoed By JODI KERSEY does not suggest abolishing the The Residence Board existing visitation hours, just the submitted a proposal to the procedure of signing in at the Administrative Council asking dorm desk. Linda Wheeler, that they abolish the sign-in - chairman of Residence Board, sign-out procedure. The proposal said that the board feels that
Student Parking: A Problem By MELODY CRAWLEY Student parking in unauthorized parking areas is fast becoming a campus-wide problem. "It is a horrendous problem in the new parking lot (Lancer Hall)," according to Campus Police Chief Smith. The new lot has spaces clearly marked. There are 57 spaces for students, five handicapped spaces and four visitors spaces, in addition to faculty spaces. There is also a parking problem with student cars behind the Cunningham Residence Halls and Jarman Auditorium. These spaces are reserved from 7 a.m.5 p.m. Students are allowed to park there after 5 p.m. and on the week ends. Chief Smith referred to page 13 of the Student's Handbook. Students are authonzed to park in the following lots: Lankford, Her, designated portions of Campus School lots, designated portion of Bedford lot, Ely Street, Venable Street and Race Street. "We have ticketed over 1,000 students cars this year," stated Chief Smith." This is a tremendous increase over last year." Section D.b of the
handbook states that registration decals will be taken away after four tickets in any given semester. Section D.c says that anyone who has three unpaid tickets will not be able to register for classes and transcripts will be withheld. Chief Smith added that the student's records would be flagged and no grades will be given. Because of the persisting problem, all cars parked in towing zones will be towed at the owner's expense as of November 5 at 8 a.m. Students will not be notified, as was the policy before. Cars parked in fire zones and handicapped spaces will be towed immediately. Signs have been erected on all towing areas. Notices of the towing policy have been printed in Daily Bulletin last week by Dr. I>eo Salters, Dean of students and Vice President of Student Affairs. Chief Smith stresses that "if a student comes in late at night and feels that it is unsafe to walk a long distance, please contact Campus Police to pick her up and take her to the dorm." he adds that he had rather a student do that than to park in a towing zone.
signing the honor code is all that should be necessary. Anything beyond that, such as the sign-in sign-out policy, is an invasion of privacy. The proposal was turned down by the administrative council. There were no specific reasons given as yet to why the council refused the proposal. The Residence Board intends to resubmit the proposal with the inclusion of one more suggestion. The new addition says that guests must be escorted in and out by the main entrance of the dorm. The rest of the proposal is as follows: We, as members of the Student Government Association of Ix)ngwood College, propose the following alternative plan to the present sign-in - sign-out procedure now in effect in the residence halls: A. That the sign-in - sign-out procedure be eliminated B. That the sign-in - sign-out procedure be replaced by the following: 1. Guests visiting students who reside in the residence halls use the present paging system 2. That guests must be escorted by a member of the opposite gender and present student of Ixmgwood College to and from the room of their host or hostess while on a floor of the opposite gender, or at any time while on the hallway or any public area on that floor (exclusive of first floor public areas). 3. That the stated proposal be considered the limit and is subject to ratification in each (Continued on Page 8)

Semester's Schedule Revised
Questions Answered The following are the answers lo the Press Conference questions Thursday, October 30. The questions are submitted by legislative Board to President Henry I. Willett, Jr. 1.) Could you give us a specific history on circumstances banning kegs of beer from Residence Halls. Is something wrong with having kegs of beer in Residence Halls? Damage is one major reason for not having kegs in the Residence Halls. Other considerations are the size of groups and fire codes. It was
suggested that Residence Board should work on this with Dr. Leo Salters, Dean of Students. 2.) What are the policies of campus police? Should we revise them? Do they need to be publicized? There will be a future article in The Rotunda. 3.) Why are Physical Education classes only one credit courses when they involve so much time and effort? It was reported that some schools do not give any credits. In the P.E. class, the outside work is not as excessive as others. 4.) Why can't the Snack Bar be
used in conjunction with the Dining Hall (paid for by tuition)? This question was referred to Gordon Inge. 5.) Can other rooms on campus be designated or used as party areas? Residence Board will be consulting with Dr. Salters on this. 6.) Will the new gym accommodate concerts?—Yes. Press Conferences are held several times each semester. Questions may be submitted to Legislative Board to be answered.
By MELODY CRAWLEY The Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs has announced a change in the academic calendar for next semester. The previous calendar had classes beginning Wednesday, January 14,1981 and ending Thursday, April 30, 1981. With the change, classes will begin Tuesday, January 13, 1981 at 8 a.m. and end Wednesday, April 29,1981. Examinations will now end on Friday instead of Saturday. According to Dean Carolyn Wells, "This seems to be a better pattern for second semester than the one published in the front of the 1980-81 Ixmgwood College Catalog. Specifically, it is desirable to pick up one more day to prepare for graduation." April 20, 1981 has been set aside as a Reading day. With students pre-registering now, Dean Wells states that two days are not needed for registration any more. However, the Registrar's Office needs an extra day to prepare for graduation. Graduation will be Saturday, May 16, 1981.
Dance Company Concert 12 Monday 13 Tuesday 23 Friday
This Week By MELODY CRAWLEY "Dance Company is growing up. We are developing into a very strong company and this semester's performance is an example of our maturity. The dancers are stronger technically allowing us to perform choreographic works of a much higher sophistication than has been seen in the past." A quote from one of the members of the company sums up the growth of the dance company that will be displayed at this year's Fall Concert, November 6, 7, and 8 at 7:30 p.m. in Jarman Auditorium.
13 Friday
The concert will consist of Grace Ann Rodgers, "Wings of performances choreographed by Dreams" by Lorie Blackard, the members.

Junior Ring Dance By BRENDA COLEMAN On Saturday, Nov. 8, the hard work and year long efforts of the Junior Ring Committee of the Class of 1982 will come to a close with the Junior Ring Dance. The dance, a celebration of the Juniors receiving their rings, will take place in the Ix>wer Dining Hall from 9 p.m.-l a.m. The band Toppz, a group specializing in beach and top 40's music, will
provide the entertainment and music for the dance. The Juniors are working on a theme with which to decorate the lower Dining hall which will aid in making Saturday night a night to remember for all. The dance will be a semi-formal affair that may be attended by anyone in the student body. Tickets will be on sale Wednesday through Friday in the New Smoker and at the door Saturday night. The price is
$5 per couple with the exception of Juniors, who will only be charged $4 per couple. The Juniors are urged to attend this dance because it is the biggest event of the Junior year and is a dance given in their honor. Everyone is invited to attend an evening of fun and dancing as well as a night that may hold special memories many years from now.
Professors Find Mutual Interest By DEBRA CUNNINGHAM Contrary to popular belief Longwood and Hampden-Sydney do cooperate at times. Dr. Michael Lund, a Professor of Victorian Literature at Longwood, and Dr. Mary Saunders, a Professor of Victorian Literature at Hampden-Sydney, taught a workshop at West Virginia University on Saturday, October 18, 1980, entitled "Teaching Victorian Novels to Undergraduates: A workshop." They developed methods of teaching Victorian literature after discovering that they held a mutual interest in this topic. Long novels during the Victorian period came out as articles in the 1830-60's as magazine installments. The Victorians read the novels in bits and pieces. This is just one incidence in which IiOngwood and HampdenSydney have found it useful to compare, research, and discuss classes as well as other subjects.
To Narrate Film Naturalist Thomas A. Sterling will show and narrate his widely acclaimed film, "Quebec Whales and Labrador Tales," on Monday, November 10, at 8 p.m. in the Wygal Auditorium at Longwood College. The screening is part of. the Audubon Wildlife Film Series and is sponsored locally by Longwood's Student Union. The public is cordially invited to attend free of charge. At the point where Quebec's Saguenay River flows into the St. Lawrence is perhaps the world's greatest concentration of whale species—nine of which make these waters their summer home. Underwater, Sterling films the white undulating forms of belugas. He joins the whale watchers in boats which, with skillful handling, pull up alongside the giant finbacks and humpbacks. By helicopter he films the giants as they breach, blow and rhythmically cut through the water of the St. Lawrence and the Saguenay
Gorge, a special wilderness of North America. Sterling also takes viewers through the quiet forest near Tadoussac, which harbors moose and whitetail deer, then through small farms carpeting the valleys to the Port of Sept Isles, where iron ore from northern Quebec and I^abrador is loaded aboard freighters. The Quebec North Shore and I Labrador Railway takes viewers north to the vast tundra and boreal forests surrounding Schefferville. Sterling's camera focuses on the region's fascinating wildlife habitat—the bogs which are home to the phalarope and snipe, the spruce forests which shelter the black bear and courting spruce grouse, and the great windblown expanse of tundra, home of the caribou, lemming, and willow ptarmigan. Sterling, a field naturalist by training, believes that films "are the most effective medium to bring the idea of conservation and wilderness preservation to all."
LONGWOOD COLLEGE BOARD OF VISITORS MEETS November 6. 7 BOARD SESSIONS ARE OPEN TO STUDENTS
Vincent Price In "Diversions And Delights" By SUSAN BUTLIN You've seen him in major television shows, a number of motion pictures, heard his voice on radio flicks and concerts. He is a master of eccentric roles and his name affiliates itself with "spooky" or "horror-filled" atmospheres. He is known throughout the United States and longwood is honored to present Vincent Price in "Diversions and Delights," November 11. His distinguished career of over 40 ranges from stage appearances to books written, television programs to recording. Price has held White House appointments (Fine Arts Committee and Chairman of Indian Arts and Crafts Board for the Department of the Interior), to college and University Board of Trustees and Board of Directors member. The November 11 performance is a little different from Vincent Price's usual roles. "Diversions and Delights" written by John Gay is a "one-man show" and Vincent Price will be portraying one of the most successful playwrights and most original contributor to 18th century drama, Oscar Wilde. In order to appreciate such a performance, one needs a little background on Oscar Wilde (1865-1900). Mr. Wilde was described by critics of his time as the type of man who "affected a languishing air, wore eccentric clothes and long hair, and carried lilies and sunflowers about him." Yet he was also acclaimed as being a brilliant writer and was compared to George Bernard Shaw. However, honor and fame followed his death, and much of his work reflected a bittersweet comedy and tragedy of his life. For instance, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is considered the
most famous of his works, which supposedly represents morality, yet satire seems prevalent behind the screen. "An Ideal Husband" and "The Importance of Being Earnest" (1895) were the last things written before tragedy fell. In 1895, Wilde was arrested and sentenced to two years imprisonment with hard labor on the conviction of sexual immorality (a homosexual accusation ). At the same time, his two sons disowned him. He was exiled and after his prison term, he

changed his name to Sebastion Melmoth. He drank to forget his sorrows, his spirit broken in prison, health failing, Oscar Wilde died in 1900. Before his death he performed John Gay's one-man show, "Diversions and Delights." Vincent Price was fascinated by the prospect of portraying Oscar Wilde and he said, "Wilde's is a genius that has never died. Genius is something that fascinates people because so few people have it." (Continued on Page 8)
Ladyhouse Blues Next Production By PAM UPDIKE The current production by the Speech and Dramatic Arts Department and the Longwood Players is "Ladyhouse Blues." The five-women cast consists of: Dr. Rita Howe, a faculty member, playing the part of the mother, Liz; Robyn Reynolds, a drama major, playing the part of Helen; Gwendolyn Sublett, playing the part of Dot; Tamara Nash, playing the part of Terry; and Gracey Rice, playing the part of Eylie. The play, written by Kevin O'Morrison, is set in 1919, in St. Louis during World War I. The title comes from a name given to apartments in St. Louis during the war. All of the men were away at war and the women were left alone to care for themselves. The particular family that the play is concerned with is a very close-knit one that has been
uprooted from the land and moved to St. Louis. The play iteself centers around the family breaking up and the five women of the family anxiously awaiting the return of the only son from the war. v "Ladyhouse Blues" is directed by Dr. Douglas Young. Technical Director is Richard Gamble; Stage Manager, Jeff Sledjeski; Assistant Stage Manager, Ginger Moss; Assistant Director, Sherry Forbes; Sound, Lisa Swackhammer; House, Brenda Coleman; Props, Lisa Howell and Carla Murla; Lights, Nina Leffue; Costumes, Shelley Gluse, Make-up, Sandi Stabler; Stage Crew, Rob Marenick; and Publicity, Pam Updike. The show will open on December 3 and run through December 6 in Jarman Auditorium.

SNA Presents Mason-Roller Line Bv SUSAN BUTLIN November 15, Saturday Night Alive presents A. Whitney Brown with special guest, Mason-Roller Line. The Mason-Roller Line contains an extra interest for the Longwood campus. Why? Because Charles Mason and Dale Roller, two seniors here at Longwood, form the band. Both music majors and business administration minors, Dale and Charlie are headed for a supportive music career. They are an acoustic duo. Charlie sings tenor and plays an Ovation acoustic-electric six string guitar. Dale sings baritone and plays a Guild D312 twelve string guitar and Gibson custom built five string banjo. Recently the "Mason-Roller Line" joined the NECAA (National Entertainment Campus Activities Association). This organization gathers College entertainment buyers with sellers. Dale and Charlie can now affiliate themselves with college and university campuses all over
ts.e states. As a matter of fact, Dale and Charlie have tentatively scheduled a block tour in February. The band hopes to spread its name through the Southern Colleges such as Jacksonville University, Queens College and George College. The band came together due to the split-up of another band, "Southern Hospitality." Dale and Charlie both played with Southern Hospitality which stayed in existence approximately six years. The five members of that band started in their high school days and toured a few college campuses, among them was Longwood. I^ast spring, when Southern Hospitality split up, Dale and Charlie exclusively became a duo. They had been playing as a duo on the side for three years. The Mason-Roller Line plays pop, country, blue-grass, and southern rock, ranging from past to present tunes. Each write, (Continued on Page 8)

A Whitney Brown Mason Roller
Amidst all the rock, jazz, country, boogie and disco entertainment, stand-up comedians still compete, and on November 15, Saturday Night Alive will present one of the funniest stand-up comedians in the college entertainment circle, A. Whitney Brown. Brown's comedy act is something different for Longwood College. Although other solo comedy acts have performed in Jarman Auditorium, A. Whitney Brown is known to keep his audience always interested in what's going on. Brown writes and performs his own material and uses his juggling abilities in his act. Brown's career started at the bottom of the ladder — the streets of San Francisco, but Brown commented, "Collecting a crowd is the easy part, but people only, stay when they are really being entertained. That's why I like the streets, it's honest." From the streets, Brown's career soared to appearances at Ix>s Angelos night clubs, San Francisco comedy clubs, television shows and
national tours. Brown's style of comedy is totally dead-pan. He never cracks a smile during his performances. Critics believe this is one of Brown's best techniques besides his quiet, unassuming character. Audiences, in the past, loved to tease him and try to get him to laugh. Therefore, he accomplishments what not many comedians can do well, audience involvement. Brown's juggling ability ranges from balls to flaming torches to machetes. This combination of talent seems to be basis enough for an interesting show you don't want to miss. The finale, especially, is the climax of the young comedian's talent. He masterfully juggles three 24" razor sharp machetes and carries on a conversation. Brown hopes some day to become "The Whitney Brown." Admission is $2.00 and the performance will be downstairs in the lower dining hall at 9 p.m. Don't miss it. Come watch A. Whitney Brown and see for yourself why this versatile character may very well become "The Whitney Brown."

students for life in the real world. The knowledge that is necessary for life does not come entirely from books. People educate each other every day through relationships and communication; we learn how to deal with the real world better. Most of us here at Longwood are at least 18 years old. Legally, we are adults, but it seems that we are being treated as children. As adults, we must make our own decisions and be responsible for our actions. The impositions we face here prevent us from doing this. We are not permitted to have friends visit us when we want. We must enter and exit certain doors at particular times. This is especially and added inconvenience when our arms are full of books and we have to walk completely around our dorm in order to get to our room and relieve the burden.
what to expect, I was floored to find that it wasn't the usual "trash tour" that I have made so often in my short professional career. Instead, I was treated to the sight of freshly painted room and corridor walls, natural wood doors, and a host of tired, but proud, residents. Similar stops in Frazer, Main and Stubbs convinced me that I was not dreaming—that it is possible to find and support creativity on the halls. These projects will last longer and be more influential than the senseless destruction of ceilings, doors, and windows that periodically plagues us. So, to those residents who are giving time, effort, and money in order to create a new atmosphere in our halls, you have my admiration and thanks. Keep up the good work, Tom Nanzig Director of Housing P.S. To anyone interested in starting similar projects, see your Resident Supervisor or Area Coordinator for details.
Congratulations ARA To the student body— This past Thursday all of Ixmgwood College were invited to ARA Slater's 25th anniversary of service to the college. Faculty, staff members and students were served (what many are saying was) one of the best meals to come from our dining hall. Gordon Inge did an excellent job of having to supervise the entire event. Having to feed over 2000 people was a great task to undertake and I feel he did his job well. Doris Carey did an excellent job in supervising the workers. Not once did I see a worker not doing his or her job. The cooks, waiters and waitresses, and hosts also all did an outstanding job in preparing and serving the meal. Congratulations on a job well done!!!

Why Freud Never Said It Was Easy
AGATHA CRISTIE By BRENDA COLEMAN The student body of Longwood was treated to the last Spotlight Concert of the semester to be presented by the Student Union on Monday, October 27. The concert did not feature a singer, nor a musician, nor even a dramatic poet or reader. Instead, the concert was the one-woman show "Freud Never Said It Was Easy," performed by Muriel Bach. Following in the tradition set by Hal Holbrook in "Mark Twain Tonight" and Julie Harris in "The Belle of Amhearst," Miss Bach carries on the art form of a one-person play. However, Miss Bach adds a special dimension to her show—she portrays six, as opposed to one, women, all distinctly different and individualized. In addition to acting in the show, Miss Bach also wrote and produced this show. In her show, Miss Bach tried to recreate the happiness and struggles of the six different women she chose to portray. Their struggles centered upon Sigmund Freud's prescription for a healthy human—"Ueben und arbeiten"—love, work. The audience only saw a few moments of each woman's life, but in those special few moments, their entire lives were on display. Miss Bach kept in close contact with the audience from the very first moment she entered as author Agatha Christie until she exited as Israel's former prime minister Golda Meir. All make-
GOLDA MEIR up on stage before the audience with Miss Bach provided details and transition from one character to another. She explained the success and failures of each woman seeking that delicate balance between love and work, preparing the audience for the next character. This smooth transition between the scenes added greatly to Miss Bach's overall performance. The extraordinary women chosen by Miss Bach to portray were Agatha Christie, concert pianist Clara Schumann, French writer Colette, union organizer Emma Goldman, renowned efficiency expert Lillian Gilbreth, and Golda Meir. Miss Bach used mannerisms, dialects, and costumes to make each woman come alive. The uniqueness of each portrayal conveyed the essential spirit and qualities of these women and the vision they possessed—to be fulfilled by love and work. They each succeeded, but only after experiencing both pain and joy throughout their lives. Miss Bach's performances were of an extremely rare and wonderful quality. She slipped into each role with apparent ease and professionalism, always leaving the audience wanting more. Her exposition into the lives of six unimportant women enabled the audience to know these women intimately—as well as themselves. Longwood was indeed privileged to be exposed to the talents of Muriel Bach.

"Like Mother-Like Daughter" By PUBLIC AFFAIRS Linda and Lydia are good friends. They have several things in common. Both are freshmen at Longwood College and both are day students, commuting from Buckingham County. They are also mother and daughter. Iinda Davenport lives with her husband and two daughters near Mt. Rush. She is a second semester freshman at Longwood, having transferred academic credits she earned 16 years ago at Arlington State College in Texas to Longwood. She is majoring in business administration. Daughter Lydia graduated from Buckingham County High School last June and is now majoring in drama at Longwood. She caught the "acting bug" working in drama productions during high school, and her cherished dream is to go to New York City after college. "I don't expect to be a movie star or act on Broadway, Lydia says. "I would just like a chance to try acting in New York." The head of the cheering and support section of the Davenport family is husband Howard, a maintenance supervisor for Buckingham County Schools who also operates a custom cabinet business. Last but not least is second

daughter Cynthia, an 11-year-old who wants to be a doctor. Cynthia's ambition to study medicine is one of the reasons Mrs. Davenport decided to return to college at this time. "I have been planning to go back to school for several years," she said. "I decided to do it now so that I can help pay for Cynthia's education." A week day in the Davenport household begins at 5:30 a.m.

Howard prepares breakfast while the three students in the family dress and collect books, papers, etc. Mrs. Davenport and Lydia leave the house around 7:00 for the 45-minute-to-one-hour drive to Longwood, depending on whether or not they can pass the school buses along the way. One of their almost-daily challenges is "finding a place to park at three minutes to eight and flying up three flights of stairs to the first class on time." The first one to arrive home in the afternoon starts dinner preparations. Other housekeeping chores are a family affair, too. "Actually, the house just sort of sits there until everyone can pitch in and get it done," Linda said. Both Linda and Lydia are carrying full academic course loads (17 credit hours each), and both of them have work-study jobs on the campus. Linda works 15 hours per week in the Computer Services Department, and Lydia works eight hours per week in the Employee Relations Office. In addition to attending classes and her job, Lydia also spends about four hours a week working on drama productions as required by her stagecraft class, and three hours a week in the computer lab for her mathematics class. And, of course, there are themes and term papers, reading and other out-of-class assignments to fill all those spare minutes! For a change of pace, Lydia helps her father sand and stain the cabinets he builds. She and her mother are often called on to insist in installing the cabinets, a job that requires several sets of hands. (Continued on Page 8)

SPORTS Handicapp Program Developing By TOM STANLEY Thousands of people have one, many have several, but one thing they all have in common is the love for life. Some people are born with one, others acquire it later in life; but either way they live with it until the day they die. You might have one too, and not even realize it. They come in a wide variety of classifications and categories; but generally speaking, it is physical limitation of the lower extremity or a permanent physical disability. If you have a permanent physical disability, whether it is noticeable or not; or if you are under doctor's orders not to engage in intercollegiate or intramural sports because of a bad knee, an operation that limits your activities, or some other similar limiting factor, you can play sports; and you can still lead an active physical life. Mr. Frank Brasile, Assistant Professor of Therapeutic Recreation is now in the process of developing an athletic
program for students who qualify. The program is being developed to offer sports to such students under certain legal provisions that require that all schools maintain equal facilities for all students. Mr. Brasile is willing to devote his personal time to the organization of this program and he needs the support of those who would qualify to play, or be interested in helping. The variety of activities available under the program could include skiing, weightlifting, archery, swimming, flying, kayaking, basketball, boating, scuba diving, hunting, camping, golf, tennis, track and many others. The number of activities available under the program could include skiing, weightlifting, archery, swimming, flying, kayaking basketball, boating, scuba diving, hunting, camping, golf, tennis, track and many others. The number of activities actually
available would be determined by the number of participating students and the coordination of special programs with other schools. Several students on campus are already taking advantage of Mr. Brasile's help. Bill Frazer is a member of the Richmond RimRiders, a competing wheelchair basketball team coached by Mr. Brasile. Debra Spencer is active in swimming competition and has been very successful, winning several medals this past summer on the regional level. Other students are needed now to expand so that Longwood can have its own teams organized for competition with other DarticiDating colleees. If you feel that you would qualify for a program of this nature or if you would like to find out more about it, there will be a meeting for anyone interested in room 203 Lancer Hall on Monday, November 10 at 6:30 p.m. YOU don't have to be a spectator because of that knee injury or that bad ankle, now you can be one of the players.

Kersey Scores 33 From SPORTS INFO Freshman sensation Jerome Kersey, who has been called by Lancer coach Ron Bash "the recruiting coup of the year in Virginia," popped in 33 points in a losing effort Saturday afternoon as the Whites beat the Blues 99-92 in Longwood's preseason intrasquad scrimmage at Lancer Hall. While Kersey and the performance of several other individuals were positive notes for the Lancers, two off-court developments were of a negative nature. Junior Wilbert Hall, a 6-3 JUCO transfer from Somerville, New Jersey, who was slated to see a lot of action in the coming season, left school and will not play for the Lancers this season. Friday, Longwood got some more bad news when it was learned that freshman guard Mitch Walker would be sidelined from two to three weeks with a separated shoulder. The freshman should be back for the November 22 season opener vs. Maryland Eastern Shore, but may miss the November 15 exhibition against the Scotland National team. Several players performed well in Saturday's scrimmage, but Kersey and 6-6 soph Ron Onstood above the rest. Kersey hit

Sports Editor's Turn The time has come once again for me, as Sports Editor of the Rotunda, to pay tribute to another Great Athlete. This person is not recognized at Longwood as an athlete because he does not play any sports. But he is an athlete; he is a body builder and his name is Bill Brent. I have known Bill since my freshman year here. It has been truly gratifying, as well as a lesson in dedication, to watch him move from an unknown to a recognized figure on the body building scene. Bill is strongly dedicated to his hobby. He neither smokes nor drinks. During training he always warms up before he lifts. He insists on the strictest form.
He attributes his ability to lift to a strong sense of concentration. In preparation for a contest Bill adheres to a strict diet consisting mainly of tuna, apples, and grapefruit. On the night of Saturday, October 18, Bill captured the state title in the short class of the Virginia Body Building Championships in Hampton, Va. He was a pre-contest favorite, after winning the teenage title the previous year. He finished the contest three points behind the overall winner after a grueling minute and a half pose-down. His stage presentation received a roar of praise and appreciation from the audience. His stage manner and grace on the posing platform are
unparalled. Bill has been training for two years. During this period he has won titles of: 1979 teenage Mr. Metropolitan, 1979 Teenage Mr. Virginia, second place teenage Mr. Capital 1980, and 1980 Mr. Virginia. Bill gives much credit for his success to three people: Danny Richard, Margi Fanton, and Cathy Idelson. He also states that many others have helped him along the line. When asked what his goals were in body building he casually states that "I want to be Mr. Universe." With his talents and drive that may just be a distinct possibility, we, at Longwood, wish you much luck and are proud of you, Bill.

Your Turn Thanks Dear Students, Faculty, Staff and Parents, On behalf of Geist, I would like to thank all of you for making Oktoberfest 1980 a success. Even with the rain, everyone pulled together in a true Blue-nWhite spirit to make Saturday run as smooth as possible. It would take a whole page in order to list all those people who worked so hard and deserve so much praise in preparing for last week end. The spirit of cooperation, dedication, and enthusiasm is what Oktoberfest is all about. Thank you, Pam Wagner Geist Oktoberfest Chairman

The Student Government Association is asking students to please review the proposed SGA sheets that were distributed throughout the dorms, attend the forum to ask questions and to learn about the new structure, and especially to vote on November 10,1980, in your dorm to accept or reject the reconstruction of the Student Government Association.
Mason-Rollei (Continued from Page 3) therefore, original material is also incorporated with the easy, relaxed atmosphere their music creates. Original songs range from anything from a fast contemporary melody to an instrumental, or songs that make you feel good to ones that tell a story, such as, "Ever Popular Curfew." Although there has been no definite sign of a recording contract, Dale and Charlie have their sights set on 1981. The band is completely self-sufficient. They do their own bookkeeping and business arrangements needed to manage a group. The Mason-Roller Line is known through Longwood's open-mike jams. They have performed for these shows the past three years. Last spring they were the opening act for the spotlight concert of Josh White, Jr. and they showcased in the Virginia unit of the NECAA last April. "We like to present songs as we, "The Mason-Roller Line' see them. The best reaction from our audiences comes from songs they can participate in; songs they can get rowdy with, or just a fast pace tempo they can sit back and enjoy," said Dale Roller. Songs such as "Dear Abby" (John Prine), "Please Don't Bury Me" (John Prine), "Rocky Racoon" (The Beatles), "Norwegian Wood" (The Beatles), are just a few of the many songs the Mason-Roller Line band plays.

(Continued from Page 3) "The continued use above tragedy is generally what every person wants to do with his life, to use above the tragedy of mediocrity, which is the greatest tragedy of man." Mr. Price also made this comment about acting, "Me, I love acting. It's so much more real than life — and that's Wilde, of course." The evening will be set in the year 1899, and Vincent Price will invite you to spend the night with Sebastian Melmoth, in a concert hall on the "Pue de la Pepinier," Paris, France. Don t miss this exciting event. Come see Vincent Price in person and witness why critics acclaim him as being one of the most "gifted performers of the stage and screen today."
(Continued from Page 5) To get away from it all, the Davenport family goes camping. They have camped in California and Florida, but mostly they enjoy "going to the mountains or the beach on week ends." Going to college is apparently contagious for those associated with Linda and Lydia Davenport. Linda's mother, who is manager of the Amherst dress plant, would like to take classes at I-ongwood, too. If the dress plant closes, she will probably join her daughter and granddaughter in their daily trek to the Ixmgwood campus.

Previous performers such as Barry Drake and Mike Williams showed a great deal of interest in the Mason-Roller Line, enough to give advice on bookkeeping, places to play, generalized tips on organizations. Other people such as I. B. Dent, Director of Student Activities, have given enthusiastic support to keep the band moving as well as help spread their name. Obviously, the Mason-Roller Line is going somewhere. Just think, Dale and Charlie are two of Longwood's own students! Come out and watch them in their first Saturday Night Alive performance before other college campuses grab 'em up!
