SG A Open Forum on The Rotunda By MIKE LYNCH "Ludicrous." "Embarrassing." Many Longwood students were not entirely pleased with the past Rotunda issue on drugs. One group of students was so displeased by the tarnished implication to the school's image put forth by the Rotunda's special drug issue that they approached Phyllis Mable, the Vice President for Stuaeni Affairs, asking for a way to put a stop to all this negative material dispersing from the student paper. "A group of students was standing out in the Rotunda and they trooped into my office (after reading the drug issue), Mable told The Rotunda, "I told them the Student Activities Fees Committee allocates money (to the paper) and is responsive to the President. They could recommend to the SAFC that they withdraw the paper's funds. Or they could talk to the SGA." From Mable's office the peeved students caught up with Trisha Boyle, SGA President, who subsequently brought the proposal before the Student Senate for consideration. "A group of concerned students came to us and said that they had some negative feelings about the paper and would like to put (the proposal) in action," Boyle said. "It went to the administration before it came to us. And the administration passed down to us
activities fees. At a Student Senate meeting of March 2, we voted to oppose the proposal." Instead, the SGA set up an Open Forum, which took place last Wednesday for informal discussion relevant to the problems of The Rotunda. A handful of the Student Senate was present along with a few I/)ngwood Ambassadors whom the SGA had asked to attend. They were joined by some students and a few faculty
Don Winkler, Director of Public Affairs, addressing the crowd in Jeffers at the Open Forum. members all with the purpose of discussing The Rotunda. The entire editorial staff of The Rotunda was present to justify the paper's position. that we promote their proposal of The first hour of the forum taking away the student went fairly smoothly with
legitimate complaints and suggestions to Rotunda editor, Joe Johnson, being acknowledged and illegitimate ones being ferreted out gracefully. Particular objects of discussion were the accuracy of facts in the more controversial issues, sensationalism, fair representation of campus groups, writing style and the numerous typographical errors that have appeared. The basic argument was that the paper is sent to other schools and shown to prospective students and their parents. Objectors to the paper's method pointed out that The Rotunda is taken by these people to be a representative of Longwood College as a whole. It hurts the chances of getting students and money into the college when the campus newspaper is so negative. Of particular concern at this stage were the two most ominous articles of the paper, the drug issue and Running Scared. Johnson justified the printing of the article on Walt, citing the harassment he was receiving at the time. Accusations towards the drug issue did not have so much to do with the subject as they did with the sensationalism. Why, people asked, were so many articles on the same topic printed in one issue? Johnson countered that that edition of the paper was meant to be that way. It was a special issue, largely devoted to the campus drug scene.
Publications Board By JOHNEL BROWN "The publications board is a practice in hypocrisy," said Joe Johnson, current editor of the Routnda, referring to Longwood's new publication board, which will have its first meeting April 6 from 1:30 - 3:30 in Longwood's board room. "What we're seeing established at Longwood is an organization consisting of 7 members, 4 of whom have vested interest in making sure Longwood has a good public image. To have such a body functioning in a ruling capacity over student publications can only lead to trouble." The new board which is the brain child of Phyllis Mable, Vice-president of Student Affairs, has actually "been on the books
for a number of years." But Miss Mable pointed out "it just has not been functioning ... it should have been functioning all along." The difference between the original and new board is the key to controversy which has student editors of publications at Longwood steaming. In the constitution of the original board membership was held by 'the editors-in-chief and the business managers of the publications, the faculty advisor for the publications and four student members selected at large and appointed by the senate (of the Student Government Association), plus the treasurer of the senate and the director of Public Affairs."
The membership of the new board, all of whom were selected by Phyllis Mable are Ronnie Brown, Sports information writer, Becky Dunk, Sports information writer, Nancy Lang Communication chairman for SGA, Robin Elder, winner of the Miss longwood Pageant, Don Winkler, director of Public Affairs, Douglas Young, Drama professor and Amy Poore. Phyllis Mable said "lay people receive the service of student publications therefore they should have an opportunity to have some input into the (publication) services." When asked why editors and faculty (Continued on Page 4)
David Areford made quite an interesting presentation when accusations of the paper being totally negative were brought up. By simply going through each of the year's Rotundas and stating the top story of each paper, Areford showed that such accusations of negativism are a falsehood. In fact, only two of the last 18 editions of The Rotunda displayed negative front page stories, Running Scared and Longwood or Bongwood. The tone of the meeting started to change during the last half hour and the reason for the
classic over the years at making your side look good whether it is or not. He answered close-ended questions (those that require a simple yes or no answer) with lengthy talks that allowed him to dodge the tricky points and he countered the anger that the newspaper staff displayed when they questioned him by displaying an even-keeled combination smile-smirk that Nixon's press secretary would have been proud to have. He never even once showed any lack of control. When Winkler stated that the
Student publication editors and supporters listen to Winkler's argument. change was easy to identify. It reason editors of publications was the first time Don Winkler, would be ex-officio members of the college director of Public the new publications board, was Affairs and a member of the that they would present a conflict Publications Board, spoke up. of interest the bad vibes hit a The subject was turning to the peak.

-Coming Events— Robert Stone to be Awarded Dos Passos Prize Book Award in 1974 for Dog Soldiers. He published his third novel in 1981, again to critical acclaim. In addition to fiction, Stone has written journalism and the screenplays to two of his novels: "WUSA" (adapted from A Hall of Mirrors), Paramount, 1970, and "Who'll Stop the Rain" (adapted from Dog Soldiers), United Artists, 1978. The 44-year-old Stone has been hailed as one of the finest writers of his generation. Raymond Sokolov wrote that "Stone, of all the new writers, has gone farthest into the other America and the dark side of his own mind." Stone's themes are as broad as his experience. He traveled with Ken Kesey's merry pranksters
Longwood College has announced the award of the 1982 John Dos Passos Prize for Literature to novelist Robert Stone. The Dos Passos Prize, established in 1980 at Longwood, includes a medal and a cash award of $1,000. It commemorates one of the greatest of 20th century American authors by honoring other writers in his name. The winner is chosen by an independent jury appointed by the College each year. The prize marks the most recent recognition of the work of the Brooklyn-born Stone, who has also been recipient of the William Faulkner Foundation Award for "notable first novel" in 1968 for A Hall of Mirrors, and the National THURSDAY, APRIL 28
during the 1960s, and covered the war in Vietnam as a reporter. From these disparate experiences came backdrops to the construction of his first two novels. Hugh L. Moore wrote of A Hall of Mirrors that "no recent novel has more contemporaryrelevance nor more radical themes." Nonald Newlove summed up the novel's main character, Rheinhardt, as "a matchless juicehead, an unregenerate rogue genius of the bottle, a 29-year-old alky-andpothead disc-jockey who is the soul of the hip '60s, shipwrecked in Dixie." Moore called Stone's view of modern society "a profoundly pessimistic one." A writer for Time said, "Stone's theme is the
inextricable grip of the underworld on its inhabitants." Stone turned to the world of drugs for his second novel, Dog Soldiers. It is the story of a naive American journalist in Vietnam who smuggles heroin into the U.S. and involves his wife and an unknowing friend in a harrowing attempt to sell the narcotic. P.S. Prescott called the novel "part melodrama, part morality play" and added, "It is a world in which innocence or vestigal remnants of decent behavior prove fatal to their owners ..." For his third novel, A Flag for Sunrise, Stone turned to the Central America of the 1970s. An imaginary country, Tecan, is its setting, and revolution its theme. The novel is a serious look at America's obsession with ■

ENTERTAINMENT The Thorn Birds By CINDY CORELL The television mini-series was introduced to audiences with the famed "Roots," and the T.V. form was just as successful with the following "Rich Man, Poor Man," "Shogun", "The Winds of War," and most recently, "The Thorn Birds", the most successful so far. This is a young form of the entertainment media, holding well to its own with skyrocketing ratings everytime it spends a week on network television, aiding network T.V.'s battle against the oh-so dangerous pay-T.V. When the newest mini-series dictated ratings the last week of March, it spanned four generations of a family in Australia while sweeping over ten hours of prime time ABC. "The Thorn Birds" was watched by viewers before 59 percent of the television sets in the United States. Not only did •The Thorn Birds" make a name for itself in the book form, a novel by Colleen McCullough, and as a recordbreaking mini-series, it also was known for its unique plot. In the story, a young priest, Father Ralph deBricassett, in a parish in New South Wales. Australia, has as a parishoner, Mary Carson, the wealthiest woman in Australia. There, he meets Mary's young niece, Meggie, then ten. This meeting begins a relationship destined to affect the two for the rest of their lives. Throughout the story Father Ralph falls more and more in love with Meggie each time he sees her, and he feels his vow of celibacy threatened and finally consumed by their love. This threat and vow breaking brings to light questions about this vow, and other characteristics which make Catholic priests men of mystery, as well as reverence. This topic came flying to the news media soon after the program was first aired. ABC's "Night Line", and other similar news programs
grabbed the topic and tossed the positives and negatives of the issue around on the air. But as Father Andrew M. Greeley, a professor of Sociology at the University of Arizona, and a noted novelist wrote in his article for T. V. Guide, "Do Priests Fall in Love? Of Course, They Do," viewers may have missed tow important points in this miniseries: 1) "It is very unlikely that the novel would have been such a success if a priest had not been the central character in the romantic tragedy," and 2) "Father Ralph's worst sins were not of the flesh, but of the spirit — ambition and insensitivity." This fascinating plot probably greatly encouraged the 59 percent of the T.V.'s to be tuned to ABC these four nights, despite any discomfort some may have found in the subject. David Wolper and Stan Margulies, who began their success and the miniseries with their production of "Roots", led this production also. Carmen Culver wrote the screenplay, strong, and yet relatively like the book. Daryl Duke's direction is seemingly faultless. It moves just right, holding interest to the story, the character's motives, and noted historical happenings. The casting isn't quite as perfect, but when it's good, it's great! Richard Chamberlain is an extraordinary Father Ralph, and Bishop Ralph, and Cardinal Ralph. During this, it's impossible to find a trace of Dr. Kildare or Count of Monte Christo in Chamberlain's act, though they too were strong characters in Chamberlain's career. Jean Simmons plays Meggie's mother, a cold forbidding woman whose experiences have played an evil game of cause and effect with her life. In the end, her character is complete when she finally reaches out to save Meggie the same fate. Christopher Plummer also puts in good performances as Arch Bishop Vittorio, who looks after

and into Father deBricassert. Sydney Penny is a delightful young Meggie. Her character is not wanting from her performance. The casting goof came with none other than the lead, though. Rachel Ward, a British model turned actress gave talented performances in her major films "Sharkey's Machine," and "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid," but she has come to her limits in "The Thorn Birds." Sydney Penny played young Meggie with vivaciousness that could charm a priest, all in keeping with experiences we as the audience know she has had, but when she is transformed to grown up Meggie, what happened? Young Meggie went upstairs to get dressed for a party one night, and came floating down with a petulent look on a Cover Girl face and a misplaced English accent. She outgrew all she was in the transformation. "The Thorn Birds", may sound like a concentrated Harlequin Romance with a hot issue plot, perhaps it was. But 59 percent of the T.V. sets last Sunday through Wednesday night tell the story well.
Movie Survey Results By FRED W. CAMPBELL Some of you may remember an article of mine that appeared several weeks ago in which I offered a somewhat sad excuse for not reviewing the Walt Disney classic PETER PAN. In this same article, I also called for the Longwood College student body and faculty to voice their own movie opinions by sending in a list of their favorite and least favorite motion picutres. Those of you who remember that article may also be wondering what became of the results of that little survey. One of the first and most in depth responses I received was from Dr. David James, who turned out to be, like myself, a hopeless movie fanatic. Some of his favorite films include such titles as Citizen Kane i he called it "the movie about the dark side of the American character) and Casablanca (what he calls "the movie about the bright side of the American character"). More faculty response came from Dr. Lund, who likes Reds, A Man For All Seasons, and The
Graduate, Dr. Sprague, who counts Cabin In The Sky as her favorite and Friday The 13th as her least favorite; and J. A.
Hardy, who likes Patton, The Sound of Music, and Star Wars, and dislikes Blazing saddles. An interesting view came also from Dr. Cook, who likes Picnic and Nashville. The student response was as varied and unique as the faculty's. Bill Todd, a Ixmgwood senior, names Cool Hand Luke, The Verdict, and Das Boot as three of his favorites, and The Rose and Reds as some of his least favorites. Mary Ruth Shields thinks Quadrophenia is a good film and considers smokey and the bandit "a read dog." Other student favorites include E.T., And Justice For All, The Grapes of Wrath, The Parallax View, The Rose, and Halloween; while other "dogs" included Dressed To Kill, Wolfen, The Greek Tycook, Victor, Victoria, and Jaws II. Even though the scant response to my little survey was expected, it was still a bit surprising A solution to my problem came from Dr. Lund, who said that to ask people to name their favorite and least favorite movies is also asking them to review and evaluate their lives, which is something most people don't like to do. What more can be said?
Chris Sizemore: One Eve in Review Cats have nine lives. That's eight up on most humans. However, Chris Sizemore, a very human middle aged woman, has 13 lives on the cat. That's 22 lives. If the numbers are confusing they should be. If the concept is perplexing remember that truth is stranger than fiction and the truth is Chris Sizemore has had more lives than an untouchable reincarnated to a Brahamn. She was at Longwood March 24, lecturing to a packed Jarman Auditorium on her experience as a multiple personality. She is the "Eve" of the popularized book and film "The Three Faces of Eve," a fact that Chris does not want soon forgotten. She has recently (1977) published her own book and the title I'm Eve tells something of the personality which spoke that Thursday night. "In the time frame of three months I saw a man drown . . . my mother's arm severely cut... a baby's coffin, and a man sliced in half at a lumbermill." She split like the man chopped in half, developing one of the most unique defense mechanisms ever conjured from the human psyche — she became another person. Literally "... I know she was there... I saw her... She had the skinniest legs and the knobbiest knees ... her hair was cropped short, just below the ears... She had on a straight sleeveless dress and wore an old, shapeless
sweater. . . she was real. I know it." She was Chris, taking up for Chris. She was one of the 22 "Eves" which peeled away from Chris's personality like onion skin. She was the first in a long line, during her 40 years of multiple personalities. It's difficult to imagine the 57year-old woman that appeared on Jarman's stage wearing a formal suit, pearls and broach as the end result of such an experience. She looked, as one student observed "like anybody's grandmother on her way to a bridge club." But appearances are fooling and Chris, though she may not look or act the part, has had a tempestous existence. She has been painter and poet, blind and virginal, obsessed with the color purple and strawberries. She has been beaten and has tried to commit suicide. She has tried to strangle her daughter, Taffy, with a Venetian blind cord. It was the last incident which led her into treatment at the psychiatric ward of the Augusta University Hospital. Dr. Thigpen and Dr. Geckly, her psychiatrist, originally diagnosed her as a dual personality. An under estiment, to be sure, but still the right idea. "They helped me enormously" said Chris. Throughout the therapy, techniques ranging from hypnosis to role playing were
used. Fascinating discoveries were made. One of her personalities would be allergic and the other's wouldn't. One personality could be given a tranquilizer which didn't affect another. At times Chris could perceive herself as a 21-year-old darling, running through the daisy fields and within minutes a 179 lb., 58-year-old woman. IQ's would alternate between personalities from a 115 IQ to a 165 IQ. Arthritis would strike the aged Chrises and not even be known to the youthful. Personalities wrote notes to each other, talked to each other and at times, died with one another while Chris, the bod" Chris, lived on. She was an ncitii \ story. Dr. Thigpen and Dr. Cle» kiy decided to cash in on their patient. Chris left the two psychiatrists "under the impression she was well." And Dr. Thigpen and Clerkly started the mills grinding on a book they were thinking of writing entitled The Three Faces of Eve. Chris, however, was not well and her personalities fragmented again and again in groups of three, like toothpicks out of pine. She found that other psychiatrists didn't believe her story. They assumed Chris had simply read the accounts of the spectacular multi-personality, Eve, which had been recently (Continued on Paged)

S Publications Board advisors were no longer included on the board, Mable said "to include editors on a publications board would be a conflict of interest." The editors of the publications at Longwood will be allowed to attend all board meetings in an "exofficio" capacity. "What that means," said Joe Johnson, "is that we get to stand and twiddle our thumbs while rulings on standards and procedures are handed down by a board consisting mainly of people who function in Public Affairs, Sports Information or a similar capacity, people who want to make damn sure Longwood is always represented in the best light. Such a membership will go a long way toward compromising any objectivity that a publications board should have, and it follows any objectivity that an editor serving under such a board will have." Johnson continued, "The constitution of the old board which had editors voting, faculty advisors voting and student representatives selected by SGA voting, allowed for more student

Your Turn Student Editorial
Dear Mr. Editor, I am writing in reference to the editorial written by Jeff Abernathy in the March 29th Rotunda. Unfortunately, I know that Mr. Abernathy speaks for the majority of The Rotunda staff. I am also aware that his view is extremely defensive, onesided, and critical. Contrary to the view taken by many Rotunda staff, the whole college is not out to get or control the newspaper. Creating a battle ground between The Rotunda and the college community will not recruit new staff members or drum up support. Mr. Abernathy apparently misunderstands the concepts of "responsible journalism." Blowing issues out of proportion, indulging in sensationalism, misrepresenting situations, misquoting, printing old news without identifying it as such, and distorting articles by poor editing control and a grcator balance are offensive to any intelligent between those who would cry foul reader of The Rotunda and over a controversial story and cannot be attributed to lack of those who would be willing to go staff.

Tuesday, April 5,1983 Dr. William R. Harbour is an Assistant Professor of Government at Longwood College. His first book, The Foundations of Conservative Thought: An Anglo-American Tradition in Perspective, explains the basic principles of conservatism and how these principles are applied in practice. Following is a Rotunda interview with Dr. Harbour: Rotunda: What prompted your interest in conservatism? Harbour: I was always interested in the topic. When I was a freshman in high school I saw Meet The Press with Barry Goldwater and I thought that was interesting. I started to follow his campaign for the presidency in 1964. Since then I've been interested in the topic of conservatism. Rotunda: Is your book meant as a defense of conservatism? Harbour: It's meant as a sympathetic explanation. I try to be fairly objective in so far as I'm able to be objective on the subject. I try to assess the main principles but also the main problems. I try to point out some obstacles I think that conservative thinkers have to try to overcome. Basically, I tried to produce something that would be informative to the students and the general public as far as what are the main things that conservatives stand for, why do they believe these things, and are these beliefs consistent. I try to explore both the internal problems and the external challenges to conservatism. Rotunda: What is conservatism? Harbour: Actually, I don't think there's any easy sentence, paragraph, or definition that one can give. Any such simplisrtic definition would be too reductionist in nature and be unfair to the subject matter. In your book, the first chapter is entitled "The Religious Who do you begin with religion? Harbour: Conservatives are Harbour: Conservatives are always talking about getting to the basics, emphasizing the more important things in life. Then you ask the people who call
Rotunda Interviews William Harbour themselves conservatives what are the most important things in life and you start tracing that back. Sooner or later I think you get to the subject of religion. Rotunda: Is this why religion is so important to the conservative? Harbour: I think it is simply because some of the greatest conservative thinkers have emphasized that in their view, there is a god or there is some kind of supreme being; that there is more to man's existence than the mere physical existence that he has. It simply springs from the fact that leading conservative thinkers would have these religious beliefs. Therefore, it happens as they try to explain what is right about society and what is wrong about society that you have these references. I think something else ought to be explained here. As you have the emergence of conservatism after the Enlightenment and around the time of the French Revolution, many critics of the Enlightenment, and critics of the French Revolution, who helped get the ball rolling for modern conservatism, were apprehensive about what they saw to be a danger to traditional religion by the Enlightenment. Rotunda: If religion is so important, why do conservatives caution against the mixing of politics and religion? Harbour: The problem there is that while most conservative thinkers have stressed the importance of religion, religion is not the only aspect to these thinkers. I think that among the greatest conservative thinkers there has been an attempt to avoid a kind of theological reductionism where every social and political problem is imagined to have some kind of religious solution where one goes to the Bible and one finds the appropriate message. Therefore, one doesn't have to think about economics, one doesn't have to
Changes in Housing Modernization is the theme — sunbursts, woodchips, and newly varnished floors. The most recent beam has been cast over Longwood's residence halls. Major changes have been made in the housing patterns - shifting males to traditionally female halls and females to male halls. South Ruffner, Wheeler, Stubbs and French will remain female halls. Tabb, however, will house freshmen men on the first and third floors, and freshmen women on the second. Curry will have men on the third, sixth and ninth floors. Ground and first floors of Cox will be for freshmen women. The most drastic change for Longwood is the introduction of a co-ed floor in North Cunningham.
The third floor of North is designated for men and women with G.P.A.'s of at least 3.0 and who want to live in a high study area. Randy Chittum, Resident Assistant for the co-ed hall, is conducting interviews of prospective residents for the hall. "One of the things we'll be looking for is people who are really interested. We're not as worried about G.P.A. as people make it sound. We're more interested in people who want to live in a 24-hour quiet environment." The hall will have Sunday through Thursday round the clock quiet hours. The high study co-ed hall represents another step towards broader option for resident students.
think about sociology or political science. I think most conservatives would reject that for several reasons. Their view of the nature of things is such that by nature they reject doctrinaire and highly ideological thinking — thinking which puts things into formulas and I believe for those people who reduce everything to

a religious point that that's exactly what's taking place. Also in conservative thinking, there is a suspicion about any kind of fanatical, highly emotional political doctrine. What conservatives fear about the extreme mixing of the two is that you wind up with this kind of doctrinaire fanatical thinking. Rotunda: Yet conservative groups such as the Moral Majority are involved in political campaigns and lobbying. Harbour: That's the irony of this point. Twenty years ago, conservatives directed this point against liberal ministers. Today,
raise the point that an orderly society is an essential theme in conservative thought and that tradition is a crucial ingredient to achieving an orderly society. Why does tradition play such a major role? Harbour: I think for conservatives it is a real melee to organize one's existence. For most conservative thinkers it is impossible to prove every issue to be true. One has a problem of infinite regression in that in the end as they look at questions of order and stability, they're inclined to argue that what makes possible a decent society,

where there's a degree of harmony, is where people are brought up with certain feelings of obligations toward their nation, towards others and these things are learned as a matter of habit. They're not something that one goes to school and one takes a class in ethics and through some kind of logical justification one discovers — hey, I ought not to steal, I ought not to murder. Rather, I think the conservative believes that the key to social order is stable traditions where people have a sense of security and belonging Where you'd have reduced alienation. People would have a greater sense of meaning to their lives. Rotunda: In modern society, there's been some criticism that people are gradually leaving traditions behind. Doesn't this create an obstacle for conservatives? Harbour: It certainly makes people who refer to tradition appear rather quaint at times. The conservative will probably argue that it creates far more problems for modern society because it's a source of disorder in modern society. Rotunda: What are some of the main problems facing contemporary conservatism? Harbour: I think one of the main problems for conservatives right now is given the nature of modernity and their critique of it, what do they suggest we do about all these problems? Especially the non-economic, non-political problems. The kind of social, cultural, religious, and personal problems that they see in society. What's the solution to all this? Rotunda: Do conservatives offer solutions to these nonpolitical problems? Harbour: they do present alternatives — well, gee, we ought to take seriously these traditional beliefs. We ought to take seriously returning to more family authority, a greater reliance on religious and certain moral obligations. But to suggest that is only to say, •Hey, modern society is so defective, all you (Continued on Bock Page)

Lancer Sports SPORTS BRIEFS Golfers to Defend Title Coach Steve Nelson is hoping his Longwood men's golf team can come up with a strong showing Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the Virginia Collegiate Championships at Hot Springs, Virginia. Longwood is the defending College Division State champion. The Lancer golfers may have to play over their heads to repeat as champs. The top two performers on last year's team, Ail-American Tim White and Bryant Reese, are
no longer on the team. Veterans David Moore, Stan Edwards and Richard Miller performed in last season's championship. "I hope we show considerable improvement and find some consistency," said Nelson. "We have an outside shot at winning, but we'll have to play superbly." With Thursday's match at Radford rained out last week, the Lancer golfers have been out of action since March 27.
IAA Update ByTRlSHASWANSON Spades is in the semi-finals and play-offs should be some time this week. Softball began last week, but due to rain hasn't progressed very much.

Ferrum longwood's women's tennis team, 0-1 after a 9-0 loss to the William & Mary junior varsity Friday, visits Christopher .â– Newport today, hosts Hollins Wednesday and takes on Ferrum in a home match Friday. Both home matches begin at 2:00. Coach Carrol Bruce felt her team performed well against a strong William & Mary-
squad. "We proved to be competitive as several sets were close," said the coach. Of this week's action, Bruce commented: "Hollins will be the toughest team we'll face this season, but we should be able to compete successfully against both Ferrum and Christopher-Newport. Both matches will be close, but we should come out on top."
Lacrosse Team Faces I R With Saturday's game at Sweet Briar rained out. liOngwood's women's lacrosse team will resume play Wednesday at 3:00 on First Avenue Field when the Lady Lancers host Division I Richmond in their first home

Barnes Named Player of the Week Junior Lisa Barnes, who won the No. 2 singles title at the Emory & Henry Tournament March 25-26, has been named Longwood College Player of the Week for the period March 25 April 1 by the Longwood Sports Information Office. Barnes won all three of her
matches by scores of 10-9, 10-3 and 10-9 with the first and third matches being decided by tiebreakers. She rallied from a 51 deficit and won the tiebreaker 97 to defeat her first round foe from Iincoln Memorial. In the championship match, she won the tiebreaker 7-5 to take the title.
leading Longwood to a tie for second place in the tournament, Barnes was the top performer out of a group of four longwood netters who reached the finals. "Lisa's tennis is definitely 'on the rise' right now," said coach Carrol Bruce.
Lancers Face Tough Schedule Hoping for fair weather and a chance to make up some of the 11 games which have been rained out, Longwood's baseball team hosts doubleheaders Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday this week against some formidable opposition. Now 10-4 and ranked seventh in Division II in the latest Collegiate Baseball poll, Longwood has home twinbills with Norfolk State Wednesday, HampdenSydney Thursday, Division I Maryland Eastern Shore Saturday and Division I Georgetown Sunday. Defending South Atlantic Region champs, the Lancers
have received excellent pitching thus far, but an uncharacteristic lack of hitting. Longwood pitchers have a sparkling earned run average of 3.14, led by Mickey Roberts 3-0, 1.50; Scott Mills 2-0, 1.93 and John Dipierdomenico 1-2, 1.96. The team batting average is just .283, far off of last season's .338. Longwood baseball coach Buddy Bolding picked up his 99th and 100th coaching wins Tuesday when Longwood swept Virginia State 15-1, 11-2. Bolding has a record of 100-50-1 in 5 years. Senior David Rumburg had a tremendous day with two threerun homers (one in each game).
Also ripping the long ball were John Sullivan, Allen Lawter, with two-run homers, leading hitter Dwayne Kingery with a solo shot and freshman Larry Allocco with a three-run circuit clout. Roberts pitched a complete game to get the win in the opener on a four-hitter. Highlighting the nightcap was a four-inning stint by senior Ron Jones. Jones, who had minor surgery on his arm recently, struck out seven in four innings and looked impressive in his first action of the season. Jones' return gives Longwood a solid eight-man pitching staff.

Lancer Sports Chesterfield Sluggers Help By BECKY DUNK "One of the keys to having a good season," says longwood College baseball coach Buddy Bolding, "is to have a demanding schedule. By competing against good teams like Duke and Virginia Tech, we're forced to work harder and develop as a good team." And Bolding has developed a good team. In four short years, he has led the lancers to a combined record of 90-46-1, the South Atlantic Regional Championship in 1982, and a berth in last year's NCAA Division II World Series. Without a doubt, the 1983 season looks good for the lancers. With a 10-4 record to date and the help of Chesterfield natives Sonny Bolton and Chris Wilburn, Ixmgwood may be on the road to another outstanding year in baseball. Although both Bolton and Wilburn attended Clover Hill High School, this is the first year they have been teammates. Bolton, a junior, plays left field for the lancers while Wilburn, a freshman, divides his time between right field and the designated hitter slot. Bolton, a business major who hopes to open his own business one day, transferred to Longwood after one uneventful year at Ferrum. "Baseball was a relatively new program when I came here," he says. "I wanted to be here to help start it... I was also really impressed with the coach." Bolton has made an impression of his own on Ixwigwood college. In 1982, by far one of the best seasons of his career, he was named to the South Atlantic Region All-Tournament Team, the 3rd team All-South Atlantic Region, and was chosen as the team's "Most Valuable Player." In addition, he batted .379 and had a team high 15 doubles and 41 walks, while tallying 5 homeruns,

This season he has played in 12 Thus far this season Bolton has games and had 8 hits with 4 played in all of Longwood's 14 games, batted in 12 runs, and RBI's. On defense, Wilburn has slammed 3 doubles and 1 had 10 put outs and no errors. "I came to Longwood because homerun. Defensively, he has it has the reputation of being a recorded 14 put outs and 3 assists good baseball college," Wilburn with only one error. "I feel that I've improved since says.

He has a lot of confidence in his ability which he carries onto the field. With this confidence, he often sets the stage for how the offense plays." Last year, it was Bolton who asked coach Bolding to consider recruiting Chris Wilburn. He had seen Wilburn in action and felt he could add something to the I-ancer attack. Presently, Wilburn, a business administration major, is one of two starting freshmen. As a high school senior, he won All-State honors and batted .471 with 20 RBI's. In addition, Wilburn was
LC Ruggers Defeat Rams ByROLISONSCHOTTA The LC Rugby team raised its record to 3-1-1 after defeating VCU 11-9 Saturday. Coming off a victory over Washington and Lee, Longwood was more than ready to take on a VCU Club they had yet to beat. VCU, who had a slight size advantage, was kept guessing during the entire match by the hard-hitting Longwood backs. Dean Driskill, a four-year veteran of the LC squad, played a key role in Longwood's offensive effort that kept the VCU team in their own territory for much of the match. Keith Barnes recovered a losse ball deep in VCU territory and was able to lunge
into the end zone for Longwood's first score. Longwood's kicking game left much to be desired in the victory. Several short field goals which could have put the game away were missed, along with both extra point attempts. The Rams, on the other hand, were able to stay close due to their strong kicking. Several unnecessary penalties brought the Rams to within two points. Only superb I/ongwood defense prevented VCU from stealing the match. A penalty kick late in the second half threatened to give VCU the win, but the attempt fell short, preserving Longwood's three-game winning streak.

(Continued from Page 5) have to do is believe what we believe." Then the question is how do you get people to change their basic beliefs? It is most difficult. Another danger for contemporary conservatism is that there's been too much identification of conservatism with proposed economic ideas. For instance, much of the debate in the early years of the Reagan administration has been on Reaganomics, supply-side economics, and deregulation of the economy. This is part of contemporary conservatism, but in reality that's the part of contemporary conservatism that is pretty much borrowed from 19th century liberalism. It leaves out all together what I view as the more important principles of conservatism and that is the traditional attitudes. Rotunda: Many people equate conservatism with this economic policy. Your book, however, stresses quite the opposite. Harbour: The heart of conservative thought. I believe on a philosophical basis has little to do with whether Reagonomics is a miserable failure or whether we have an amazing economic recovery and we enter some kind of boom era. This is important in one aspect of conservative thought — the economic aspect. But it doesn't say anything about notions of tradition, authority, religion, or community.
SGA Open Forum (Continued from Page 1) So the forum ended for the time being And as I left my mind lingered to an old Rotunda that I read months ago. Back then the administration had no feud with the paper. The articles were exactly what the people of the forum had expressed a desire for. No homosexuals or drugs. Just nice articles about the various campus groups and Student Union events and such. Anybody from out of town who had read that paper would surely have gotten a good opinion of the college. The editorial page was totally positive to the school with the exception of one piece. That piece was the editor at the time accusing the students of various ugly things because the week before, most students had only given that week's Rotunda enough time to tear out a coupon from Hardee's and then throw the paper on the floor. But I'm sure the irate group of students that stormed in to Phyllis Mable's office last January would not mind such a situation. And that's probably what The Rotunda will be like if they have their way. Harmless, optimistic, and ultimately useless.

So far as medical science and faith can predict she is like them now, one person — the "real" Chris Sizemore and surprisingly or not she is eager to tell her story. Chris has appeared during the 9 years since her recovery on "Good Morning America," "Today," "Donahue," "60 Minutes," and P.M. Magazine. She has made a film entitled "Alive and Well" and is selling her paintings (created in 7 personalities no less) some at $10,000 a throw and exhibiting them 6 times a year around the world.
