Where The Jobs Are and Aren't Results of Manpower Inc. Employment Outlook Survey A thin but visible ray of hope for the future of the nation's employment picture has emerged in the latest findings of the quarterly Employment Outlook Survey. According to the projections of over 11,200 employers polled in 347 U.S. cities last month, the quarter-toquarter drop in hiring plans has halted, and a slight improvement is indicated for the first quarter (January, February, March) of 1983 when compared to survey results of one year ago. While slightly fewer firms plan to hire additional workers in the next three months than last year at this time, the number expecting cutbacks has declined markedly. Uncertainty about the length of the recession seems to be holding back plans for increased staffing in the first quarter. There seems to be a trace of cautious optimism in the survey figures for the first time in the last six quarters. It is most evident in the drop in the number of firms expecting workforce reductions. Reductions must decline before positive factors develop. Expected reductions have declined markedly in some key employment sectors, particularly in the construction and manufacturing industries which have been hardest-hit over the past year. While the number of employers planning to expand their workforce is the lowest seen in six years, the number planning no change is the highest in that same period. It appears that the downward slide which began a year ago has stopped. Regionally, the South continues to offer the brightest future for jobseekers with a major upswing reported by the construction industry. Western employers continue to expect slightly more
cutbacks thaO increases in staff levels, the Midwest reports a more favorable employment outlook typified by a sharp drop in the number of firms expecting cutbacks, and the Northeast continues to predict slow-paced hiring activity. Employers in the Northeast continue to predict slow-paced hiring activity, and some improvement in the construction industry which expects far fewer cutbacks for the first quarter of 1983 than in the past five similar quarters. Overall, slightly more employers in this region expect staff reductions than plan additions; Northeastern survey figures lag behind those reported nationally. Manufacturers are cautiously optimistic with the highest number in the seven-year history of the survey planning no change in employment levels. Manufacturers of durable goods predict the job climate to be similar to that of one year ago, and manufacturers of nondurable goods predict a slightly improved employment outlook. The greatest improvement in
job opportunities is reported by the construction industry: the number of expected cutbacks has declined markedly. Improvement is also noted by wholesale and retail merchants. Seasonal staff reductions are reported for the first quarter as employers return to pre-holiday staff levels, but the cutbacks are not expected to be as severe as last year. The employment outlook has stabilized in the white-collar sectors of services and finance, insurance, and real estate. While the number of job opportunities has not increased in these sectors, the number of employers expecting cutbacks in the finance, insurance and real estate sector has slowed. The Midwest reports a more favorable employment outlook than one year ago. The improvement is typified by a drop in the number of firms expecting cutbacks. This development was particularly evident in the manufacturing sectors with manufacturers of durable goods reporting survey figures which are a great improvement over
those of one year ago. While the same number of employers in this sector plans to hire additional workers during the first quarter of 1983, significantly fewer expect reductions. Likewise manufacturers of nondurable goods predict a halt in the quarter-to-quarter cutbacks reported this past year. Seasonal cutbacks by wholesale and retail merchants are not expected to be as great as in the past two first quarters and the number of employers actually planning increases has risen slightly. Construction employers also report a thin but visible ray of hope with fewer expecting workforce cutbacks than last year at this time. The white-collar sectors of finance, insurance, and real estate and the service industry do not report much improvement. The number of employers planning expansions to staff has diminished slightly, but the number expecting cutbacks has Regionally, the South continues to offer the brightest future for jobseekers with a major upswing reported by the construction
industry. In addition to the predicted expansion in workforce, employers in this sector expect fewer cutbacks than one year ago. The highest number of job opportunities in the South are reported by the white-collar sectors of services and finance, insurance and real estate. Neither group posts survey figures which are an improvement over those recorded one year ago, but employment levels are expected to be stable. Like the national trend, Southern wholesale and retail merchants predict slow-paced hiring activity, but the seasonal staff reductions are expected to be less severe than in previous first quarters. Southern employers in the public administration sector are cautiously optimistic in their hiring plans with a high number planning no change in staff levels. While Western employers continue to expect slightly more cutbacks than increases in staff levels, the construction industry and manufacturers of nondurable goods predict an improved job climate. A major upswing is predicted by construction employers planning to expand staff size while the number expecting reductions has dropped markedly. Likewise, cutbacks are expected to slow in the non-durable goods manufacturing sector and hiring is expected to be similar to that of one year ago. Manufacturers of durable goods are not as optimistic with slightly more employers expecting cutbacks as plan staff increases. Last year at this time, the reverse was reported.

THE ROTUNDA
Tuesday, February 22,1983
Beyond The Score By William R. Leap The crowd is restless and hot. They came to see some good ball playing and to have a good time. They're not expecting a whole lot, they just want their team to win. Some are friends, some are relatives, some skipped a big party and others a cram session in botany to come and see their team win. They're out there, they're anticipating, and they're betting, betting on the winner. They don't all like you or your team, but some of them love you like a son or daughter. They're more than electric they're atomic and they're ready to explode into a howl of excitement, praise, and deference. You know what they're looking for and you know you're not an actor, not a gladiator. You're a basketball player and it's time to play ball; that's all you know. They're just the batteries that get you charged, everything else is you, you and a hardwood floor, a glass board, and an orange rim, the ultimate truth. "Every game's like an NBA championship," he said rather candidly but with an air of complete confidence. At 5'8" 150 pounds, Frank Tennyson is undoubtedly the runt of the litter. But he's bigger than he looks. "He likes to say he's 5'10" but he's really 5'8"..." says assistant coach Earnest Neal with a chuckle. "His teammates see him as being a spark plug or a motivational force for them. He's quicker than all the other players on the ball club and has a lot of espirit de corps." Espirit de corps not only lives within Frank Tennyson, but on the walls of his fifth floor Frazier room. The moment you walk in you feel like you just stepped into the basketball hall of fame. The walls are papered with Sports Illustrated shots of all the big names from Dr. J to Christine Brinkley. And off towards the window an interesting basketball collage is constructed around the words "The Best" and "A Little Child Shall Lead Them." "I think it's an advantage,"
says Tennyson concerning his physical stature. He sits relaxed on his bed and is dressed in cotton sweats. He talks with selfassurance. "I can do a lot of things the bigger players can't." From the Boys Club of Richmond at age five to the National Youth Games for ages fifteen and under through Huguenot High School and Highland Springs High School to Longwood College, Tennyson has been proving on the court that he can do things that bigger players can't do. "You heard of Henderson...he plays for the Celtics; he went to Huguenot High School," says Tennyson with a smile and a definite air of pride. An open young man of eighteen years with a faint touch of shyness, Tennyson clearly desires the recognition he deserves. But he isn't a starter for the Lancers and not likely to be a starter in the foreseeable future. "He is by nature an aggressive player," admits coach Neal bluntly, "but he had some problems early in the season...he wasn't quite sure what he was doing." Coming from being a high school superstar where he could do just about anything he wanted on the court into a college program where the system is totally different, Tennyson naturally had some adjustment problems. "It's more prestigious to start," he explains gazing at the floor thinking, being careful to convey the right meaning. "Starting means a lot but it doesn't mean everything. I'm not hung up over this starting thing." Then came the "freshman blues." The I'm not hungry, I can't do anything right, freshman syndrome. The coaches taking him aside for one of their "private talks," the first tests coming back a little less than par, and worst of all, the girls don't seem to have any taste. It's that time in every freshman's life when the whole world seems to be falling into

little bitsy pieces. For a basketball player it's even worse, concentration is a must. "Doing bad in basketball carries over into my social life," explains Tennyson. "It got so I couldn't sleep and I'd stay up all night reading and studying." He thought of hanging it up and going home. Tennyson is a well-rounded, college-caliber point guard with a sincere interest in academic pursuit. He realizes that professional athletics is probably not in his future. But inside the Lancer's littlest point guard burns a bonfire. He's a high energy player that actively responds to Longwood fans waving their blue and white pompons from way back in the stands. Roughing the early season, freshman white waters, Tennyson has come back with a ferocious intensity that could well shatter the backboard. "I never in my life quit anything I started...I'm kind of an emotional person," he explains in the calm of his dorm room on a snowy afternoon. But what about on the court? Surely there must be some reason why George Mason, East Tennessee State University, and Longwood College actively recruited Tennyson for their programs. "College doesn't dictate that you can't do different things," says Tennyson dryly, almost accusingly. He's looking for some latitude and as much playing time as possible, just like everyone else on the team. Not being a starter, he realizes many of the advantages of waiting on the bench to play. "You can see the mistakes they're making on the court and you know when you go in you're not going to make that one," he says with a chuckle. "There's a lot more pressure to do well." He's been there. He's been on the bench intently watching the game like a pro scout, looking for mistakes, the fouls, anticipating going in at any moment. He knows he's got to know what's going on on the court all the time, just like the coach. He feels the tension grow inside his guts when Joe Remar has got his third foul in the first half and head coach Cal Luther calls for him. Now it's his turn to play ball. He's in the game and the crowd knows it. They're looking at him with scrutinizing eyes...they want to win. In his mind the crowd melts away like jello in the hot sun, they're not there, he can't let them be. He feels the smoothness of the ball on his fingertips as he dribbles up the court eluding a 6'8" guard with capped teeth and getting off a clean pass to Jerome Kersey who slams it home. The crowd erupts into a wild frenzy of excitement. They're his
Tennyson hustles for a block. friends for now and he knows it. But he also knows how fragile that friendship can be not only as a non-starter who can't afford many mistakes but as a favorite of the whimisical fans. He knows they're unreliable and will change colors like a kaleidoscope two minutes later when a not so fine pass leads to a turnover and a hush sweeps through the gymnasium like a forest fire in the Sierra Mountains. "You should have been there" is all he can think. A business management major with his eye on insurance, Tennyson knows the value of security. "I have the same attitude at practice as during the game," he says thoughtfully. He views practice as the insurance policy for a good game. "You have a good practice, you have a good game." And practice he does. He practices with the same intensity as he plays. "He comes early and leaves late," states coach Neal matter-of-factly. Frank Tennyson looks forward to increased playing time in his future years at Longwood but is open to the prospect of a better qualified point guard than himself coming along to fill the sneakers of senior Joe Remar. "If he's doing things we need for
the team, then he should be the one that's playing," he says dryly, gazing at his basketball wallpaper. He may not be a starter for the Longwood lancers, but Frank Tennyson certainly feels part of the team. Whether dashing out on the court at that crucial pressure point in the game or squating down in his super low, free throw stance, Tennyson's mind is on nothing but rhythm and form, rhythm and form. He may not be a Ralph Sampson as an individual basketball player, but when he's on the court his mind's on playing ball and playing it well. Meanwhile, the fans in the backdrop are thinking win.
Jobs (Continued from Page 1) wholesale and retail trade sector is similar to that of last year with regional survey figures lagging behind those reported nationally. Western service employers expect slow-paced hiring activity with slightly fewer job opportunities in the first quarter than offered one year ago. Both educators and public administrators report an improved job picture as fewer employers expect staff cutbacks than one year ago.
BUBA-The Non-Alcoholic Frat
For some people a fraternity is the epitome — the apotheosis of college life. Friends that are as frequent as emptied beer cans, wonderfully insane inductions (recall the raw egg yolk which had to be passed from mouth to mouth by initiates while laying on a tile floor with their hands tied behind their backs) and beautiful sorority women whose dearest wishes are successful ski trips which invoke a nostalgia generally reserved for dead ancestors; flashy toga parties and wild intoxicated runs on an unsuspecting town — what can beat the ultimate hedonistic throw-your-mind-to-the-wind atmosphere of a true blue collegiate fraternity? Another fraternity of course. To be specific, BUBA fraternity, right here at Longwood College. BUBA (beta upsilon beta alpha) is the infrequent exception to the rule. Fraternity pour la fraternity. Esprit de corps — 1 os hermanos united in the common cause of los hermanos on first floor Tabb dormitory, room 107. That is their "headquarters", where the Fraternity's spokesman, David Walton, described BUBA's creation and evolution. "It started as a joke and just got carried away . . . carried
away right into reality. We were just a bunch of fellows that wanted to join a fraternity but wouldn't or couldn't because first, it was too expensive and second, none of us were into partying. BUBA, for us, stands for Brothers United By the Annointed. Don't get us wrong, it's not a heavy religious fraternity, we all share a common faith though. Our motto is 'fratres conociatus ad diem — brothers united by God." In their bathroom are the remnants of their last party — eight cartons of emptied mountain dew and pepsi bottles. "The closest thing we come to a hangover is a bad aftertaste . . . we just think there are better things a frat can do besides drinking itself under a table or hugging the toilet bowls." Although such a unique concept as a non-drinking, non-hazing fraternity should have been eagerly accepted by Longwood's administrators, it wasn't. "At first it was really difficult, Bob Jensen vice president of the interfraternity council took the idea to Dean Ogrosky and he rejected it. He said that there were only 800 men at Longwood and of these only about 10 per
cent joined fraternities. Since there were already five fraternities on campus he felt that another one would be unnecessary ... sort of like over kill I guess. Anyways after hearing his verdict we decided to go to Phyllis Mable (Vice President of Student Affairs) who has the last say in such matters and she was great. She accepted the idea right off. After that it was just a matter of drawing up a constitution and recruiting new members." The fraternity has done relatively well in recruitement considering Longwood's drink-athon attitude. Four new members were inducted February 20 and they are looking for more initiates as soon as BUBA becomes better known. "It's just a matter of time . . . people will see what we have to offer — things like an active intramural sports program, working with charities such as the United Hunger Fund, even dances where, if somebody wants, they can bring a alcohol, but the fraternity isn't going to pay for beer or anything." Another item which may attract new members in an age of tight wallets and squeaking budgets is their fee, which by

David Kramer Speaks On U.S.-West German Relations A slogan on walls in West Germany reads, "Why do the Americans want to defend us to death?" That characterizes the attitude of many West Germans toward the United States, Professor David Kramer, Prorektor of the College of Social Work and Social Work Education in West Berlin, told a Longwood audience on February 10. Kramer, whose institution entered into a partnership agreement with Longwood last November, spent two days on the Longwood campus, discussing possible exchanges with faculty and administrators. He gave a lecture in Wygal on West German-American relations and the rise of alternative political ideologies in Germany. Dr. Michael Haltzel, Longwood's vice-president for academic affairs, noted that the agreement "is starting to bear fruit. It has a great deal of potential for the faculty and, ultimately, for the students of Longwood College" Kramer's position as Prorektor is the equivalent of Haltzel's post. "The relationship (between U.S. and Germany) is difficult to define," said Kramer, a native American and a political scientist. "The simple fact of the matter is that we established West Germany. They feel a great deal of gratitude but also a great deal of resentment. Now, their gratefulness has been replaced
by a critical attitude." "We can't expect Germans to continue to be devoted disciples of the United States," he added. "They have to find their own identity." Kramer noted that inflation "destroyed" Germany's economic system after World War II — the rate of exchange was American cigarettes. "West Germany was shaky at first but quickly developed, with the aid of the Marshall Plan, one of the best economies in the world. Their recovery was mind-boggling; I know Germans who can remember hunger. They created what's been called 'the economic miracle.' " Although the United States is still a powerful nation, said Kramer, it is not as powerful as it once was, and this shift affects U.S. relations with West Germany and all of Europe. Two major issues separating the United States and Europe are the deployment of medium-range U.S. missiles and the Siberian natural gas pipeline, he said. "An overwhelming majority of Germans don't want mediumrange American missiles, which they originally requested," pointed out Kramer. "The debate on this issue has become bizarre in Germany. They criticize the Americans but not the Soviets, ironically ... I don't think it's in our interest, or their interest, to defend them (Germans) against will.
that the U.S. would defend their continent regardless of the consequences, Kramer said. "The Germans started thinking that if the Russians bombed, let's say, Frankfurt, then the United States would bomb Moscow and the Russians would retaliate by bombing New York. Germans don't think that an American President would trade New York for Frankfurt." West Germany, he said, is strategically important because of its location. "It's the dividing line between East and West. The Soviet Union would have to come through Germany to get at Europe. If West Germany became pro-Soviet, it would alter the global power situation. That's not likely now, but it's possible sometime in the future." Unfortunately, the disintegration of the NATO alliance has hurt that organization's chances for a worthwhile arms agreement with the Soviets, Kramer claimed. "I think the NATO alliance is in the process of falling apart. And I'm not the only person who thinks so. Henry Kissinger thinks so, too . . . Though the U.S. is spending more money on defense, I think it's actually less secure, because of the fragmentation of NATO nations." West German fears over the arms race, and the obvious impact of a nuclear conflict, have led to the rise of the Alternative Party, sometimes known as the
"Greens," he said. If the March 6 national elections were held today, this left-wing party — which opposes all forms of nuclear weapons — would probably control Parliament, predicted Kramer. Since the late 1960s, he
continued, young Germans have voted for left-wing candidates, a departure from the past when young people voted like the rest of the country. About 30 per cent of young voters now support the Alternative Party. "This has given a new flavor to German

ENTERTAINMENT Fred Speaks Out- And Makes A Request Or Two By FRED W. CAMPBELL Any of you who have ventured into downtown Farmville in recent days are probably aware that Walt Disney's "Peter Pan" is now showing at the State Theatre. A few of you (a very select few, I'm sure) may even be anxiously waiting to read what I have to say about it. To that select few, I apologize. I have absolutely nothing to say about "Peter Pan." In fact, I have never seen the film myself. Whenever I think about reviewing a film like "Peter Pan" (the sort that have become national institutions) I am engulfed by an overwhelming wave of anxiety and paranoia. Suppose I saw the film and didn't like it; how could I give it a bad review and still maintain a sense of personal safety. If I saw the film and liked it, there would be
those who would doubt my sincerity and say that I was bending to social pressure. Instead, I will yield to a social pressure of a different kind and simply not review it. Part of my problem is that I do not have something that every film critic needs: a good idea of what his readers like and dislike in movies. I never know what the basic reaction to any of my reviews will be. If I had this foresight, I would feel more secure in what I review and know who would hate and who would applaud my opinion. With this sentiment, I now call on you, the students of Longwood College, to voice your opinion in the area of cinematic art. What is the best film you have seen? What is the worst film you have ever seen? Take the time to write down a list of your favorite and
least favorite movies (limit yourself to ten of each, please). It is my aim to compile a list of Longwood's favorite films and also the ones you wouldn't take your worst enemy to see. I am convinced that everyone has an opinion on this subject; everyone has been moved by a particular film, either to tears or to the bathroom. Therefore, I expect an overwhelming response from both students and faculty (this means you, Dr. Greenwood). The final list will then be compared with my own list, just so you can see how your opinion matches with mine. Send your list to me, Fred Campbell, Box 97, the Rotunda, Box 1133, or give it to any member of the Rotunda staff. Don't forget to sign your name. I appreciate and anxiously await your response.

Kramer Speaks (Continued from Page 3) politics," said Kramer. West Germany also experienced a "baby boom" after World War II; between 1958 and 1967, one million children were born annually, twice the normal rate. "Nobody knows exactly what to do with these young people," he said. "They think their economic future is bleak. They're much more pessimistic than young Americans." Since the German economy stopped growing in the late 1970s, Kramer said, the country is increasingly unable to support its welfare state ("It's hardly possible to stub your toe without someone coming to lick your wounds at government expense," he laughed). "They're not just upset and uncertain over missiles. They're upset and uncertain about everything. If there was a war in the Middle East, they'd be cold in two months. The United States has the least advanced welfare state of any capitalist country and we can't afford it — imagine the problems the Europeans are facing." The United States should reassess its relationship with Europe and, in the future, be more candid about its intentions, said Kramer. "We Americans have to face some very difficult decisions about what our (European) interests are," he noted. "We should determine who our allies are and who isn't our allies. We're not helping ourselves by saying we'll come to the aid of Europe; they simply don't believe it anymore. We should tell the West German: do you want a mutual partnership or accommodation with the Soviet Union? There are definitely risks to this, but there are risks to deluding ourselves." "We should put the Europeans to the test," he added. "I think they'll meet the test." .. I
The Rotunda is Lacking By Becky Dunk Any newspaper — be it a major one such as The Washington Post or a small bi-weekly like the Farmville Herald — should be compiled so as to meet the needs of the community it serves. Likewise, a college newspaper should adequately serve the community it caters to. Why then, does the Longwood College paper, The Rotunda, not meet the expectations of the student body? A look at the February 8, 1983 issue of The Rotunda will help to justify my complaint. First of all, let me support my statement that students aren't happy with the paper. At lunch yesterday, I was nominated by my friends to go and gather up several copies of the paper so we could all read it. As I passed through the Rotunda, I noticed that very few people were even casually glancing at the paper. Could it be that bad, I wondered? Several other copies cluttered the floor and the glass cabinets lining the Rotunda walls. I grabbed four papers and weaved my way back through the crowd which was gathering for lunch. I threw the papers on the table where we were sitting and watched as several eager readers picked up a copy. The response among the other seven people at the table was quite similar — each one quickly leafed through the issue, said "boring," or "nothing I want to read," and tossed it back down. Being interested in journalism,
I delved deeper into the copy than week's article! On page 11 we my peers had. What were my read that Randolph-Macon beat sentiments? I had to agree with Longwood. the others — it was pretty bad.

Setting Suzy Straight ByUZD'SURNEY Why is it that only Home Economics majors seem to get ridiculed and harassed for their major? You never hear of anyone walking up to a student majoring in chemistry and say, "Why? So you can play around with testubes and chemicals the rest of your life?", or to an accounting major and say, "What are you going to do? Add and subtract for a living?" Remarks such as these are what Home Ec. majors have to live with everytime they mention their major; the pressure doesn't stop here. It carries over whenever you encounter people who know your major. They jeer and chant "Suzy Homemaker, Suzy Homemaker, Suzy, Suzy, Suzy" until you actually want to use a dust pan and broom... but not for sweeping! It is extremely frustrating, to say the least, to be at a party, at work, church, or home, or visiting and have people make comments such as: "Oh, are you going to be a teacher . . .or "a professional housewife?" ... "or cook and sew the rest of your life?" Or one of my favorites, "So you can hang your degree on the wall and dust it off every day!" Upon first entering the career of Home Ec, such statements would almost immediately make me react in a defensive manner. Now, however, I can only pity such people for their ignorance. Many companies hire Home Economics majors but they do not publicize it. Some of these major companies are Vepco, C&P, A. H. Robins, Phillip Morris, Reynolds Metal, Allied Chemicals, General Electric, and Proctor & Gamble. The true title of Home Ec. is concealed from
the public. Instead, companies tend to list them under titles such as: Public Affairs Director, Communications Consultant, Consumer Information Specialist, Marketing Manager, Account Executive, Energy Specialist, Fashion Consultant, Merchandising Evaluation Engineer, and Nutrition Coordinator. Facts and information explaining the growth and development of Home Economics are available through the media. It's all there. The jobs are varied. To mention a few: Market Service Assistant, Manufacturer's Representative, Production Development Coordinator, Loan Counselor, Legislative Assistant, Consumer Services of TV, Auditor for I.R.S., Film Producer, Food Production Manager, and the list goes on. Home Economics covers areas such as Family and Child Development, Nutrition, Fashion Merchandising, Consumer Affairs, Communications and Business. These job possibilities should be considered the next time people come across a Home Ec. major, rather than admit to their own naivety. The field of Home Ec. has grown vastly. Presently, it is one of the best fields to get involved in. People from other majors often find themselves in Home Ec. positions, among these are business majors. Once in these positions, they find themselves lacking in the skills required of Home Ec. majors. This is just a fraction of the information about Home Economics. Home Ec. majors are in great demand. The stereotyped idea of Home Ec. can go straight down the drain . . . and Suzy too.

SPORTS Women Golfers to Open Season The Longwood women's golf team will open its 1983 Spring season on February 25 in the Troy State Invitational. The invitational will include twenty schools, with only three from Division II — Troy State, Weber State and Longwood. Coach Barbara Smith feels that South Carolina, Ohio St., North Carolina and Georgia are the top four schools in the invitational. "Weber State won the Division II Nationals last year and Troy State finished second, so both teams could prove tough," said Coach Smith. Longwood finished third in the National tournament last year. Coach Smith feels that AllAmerican Robin Andrews has the chance to have her finest season. Last fall in the James Madison Invitational, Andrews won the individual title with a 40-79 -119. Sue Morgan also performed well in the fall. Sue improved greatly as the season progressed, scoring
in the 70's several times. Lanie Gerken also played well in the fall and will join Morgan and Andrews in the top three positions for the Lancers. Lanie was Longwood's top finisher in the North Carolina State Invitational. The remaining three positions for the Lancers will be determined in the practice round at Troy State. The Troy St. Invitational will serve as practice as well as competition, as the Lancers have not practiced as a team since November. The Lancers will host Marshall and William and Mary in the Longwood Invitational March 1213. Coach Barbara Smith, who has led Longwood to six state titles, is hoping the Lancers will improve as the season progresses. "We want to do the best we possibly can and try to improve our scores from the fall." Longwood will have everyone but Donna Turner returning from its fall season.

Longwood Rugby LC Ruggers Fall to VMI in Opening Match By Rolison Schotta The Longwood Rugby Club played its first match of the '83 season against a tough Virginia Military squad Saturday at home. The Cadets' relentless attack kept the LC ruggers on defense for much of the game, with Longwood losing 12-0. VMI was here to avenge a 14-13 loss last year, and their players were pumped up for the rematch. The Cadets used their size and strength advantage to power their way to a 9-0 halftime lead. Despite solid tackling from Longwood's forwards and a strong offensive effort from
outside wing Tod Haymans, Longwood was unable to keep VMI from penetrating deep into LC territory. The most costly losses of the game for Longwood were of Bill Galloway and Wayne Busch, who were both put out of action with head injuries early in the first half. Both are expected to be sidelined for much of the season. Injuries aside, the LC ruggers could not be too dissapointed with the VMI loss. With a large number of new players, the team did well in holding a well-disciplined VMI club to twelve points. VMI also won the 'B' side
game, defeating Longwood 40. Many players from LC's 'A* side played in the game, as well as a couple of volunteers from the sidelines as the team was short-handed. Strong hitting from the entire squad kept the Cadets' game unorganized throughout both halves of play. The Longwood Rugby team is still scheduling games for the spring schedule, but scheduled^opponents include VCU, James Madison, and Hampden Sydney. Home matches are held at the President's field and will be announced.

Buba (Continued from Page3) normal fraternity standards approaches the miraculous. Ten dollars initiation and 20 dollars a semester; used mainly to buy pepsi and chips or other essential "partying" items. Currently BUBA does not belong to the interfraternity council nor do they have any ambition towards getting a national charter. Their six member executive council — President, Mark Bass; Vice President, David Turk; Treasurer, Greg Blank; Secretary, Anthony Russo; Spokesman General, David Walton; and Public Relations manager, Robert George is intent on one thing — brotherhood. They have only two sweaters with their frat letters (one given as a birthday present and the other bought at personal expense) and one poster with clasping left and right hands representing love and brotherhood respectively. It seems a little too simple for a beginning fraternity — such an absurd idea as brotherhood and love and all that schlock, but then the Alpha and Omega started it all with a word — the word . . . what was it anyway? Love . . . Brotherhood?
Magician-comedian David Willis will perform Wednesday, February 23, at 8 p.m. in the Gold Room in Lankford Building. The young performer began his unique career on the streets of Washington D.C. until he became such a success that police asked him to stop. The huge crowds that he attracted were blocking traffic. Although Willis began with an interest primarily in magic, his talent for sleight-of-hand was soon equaled with a good sense of humor, a quick wit, and great comedy timing. He travels with pal Sidney the Skunk who has the distinction of being the world's only skunk impressionist, from coast to coast. He has been received eagerly by college students in almost every state for his interesting and hilarious approach to magic and comedy. The performance, sponsored by the Longwood College Student
Union, is free of charge and the public is invited to attend.
