MADD, SADD, Others Present Cases During Alcohol Awareness Week
By DEBBIE RIPPY and JULIE CRUMPTON In March of 1981 the first chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers was started in Virginia by Susan Midgett whose 14-year-old son was killed by a drunk driver on Sept. 30, 1980. The driver hit the boy who was located over 15 feet off of the highway and proceded on as if he had only hit a dog. He was apprehended 2^2 miles away with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .33. At present, the man is out on a work release with a job at a bar and grill just 3 blocks from Susan Midgett's house. He will get his license back this coming Dec. 2. Susan Midgett spoke last Monday night at Jarman Auditorium, the first of Longwood's Alcohol Awareness Week speakers. She provided some interesting statewide statistics. There are 500-600 deaths annually, 42 deaths monthly, and 10-11 deaths weekly due to drunk drivers. Nationally there are 26,000 deaths annually, 500 deaths weekly, 71 deaths a day, and 1 death every half hour. One thousand or more victims are crippled, injured or maimed for life yearly. Drunk drivers cost $24 billion a year in property damage, human life, and funerals.
The punishments for these offenses are rather slack. If the driver is caught drunk a second time there is a mandatory jail sentence to be served at his convenience. If he is convicted of involuntary manslaughter he will face a sentence of 1-10 years when it used to be only 1 to 5. When MADD marched at the General Assembly, they were still Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. Since then the name has been changed to Many Against Drunk Drivers. Mrs. Midgett stated that her group is not out for destruction. They only want progressive change in the laws to help prevent the accidents caused by drunk drivers. •'More than two-third's of adults drink occasionally. Most do so moderately.

Minority Students Increase Pursued By Dora Ann Daniels Back in 1978, the Federal Government and the United States Department of Education were informed that there still existed several institutions of higher learning in the state of Virginia which were not in compliance with the established desegregation laws. Faced with the possible cutoff of federal funds, Governor Dalton acted as overseer of a possible method to effect desegregation in these institutions. The outcome: the Virginia Plan. The Virginia Plan is the product of an agreement between the state of Virginia and the Office of Civil Rights of the United States Department of Education. The purpose of this plan was to increase the number of other race faculty, staff, and students in Virginia's predominately white, statesupported institutions. The Department of Education established enrollment goals for each of the fourteen public, predominately white institutions in Virginia, with hopes that all
objectives would be met by June 30, 1983. Unfortunately, the Virginia Plan has not been considered successful. By their own admission, Virginia attests to falling short of their goals. By Fall, 1980, only 1286 minority students had been enrolled in Virginia's traditional institutions. This is 334 short of the 1,650 they had hoped to have enrolled by that time. As of June 19,1982, the Reagan Administration rejected the Virginia Plan as a failure and ordered Virginia to come up with a new strategy to bring about desegregation in these schools. Longwood College is one of such institutions under Federal scrutiny. The College has chosen to direct their efforts towards the recruitment of black faculty, students, and staff. During the past four years, Longwood's recruitment efforts have been somewhat successful: the school year 1979-80 marked a good year for recruitment of students as did the years 1980-81 and 1981-82 for faculty and staff recruitment. However none of these efforts
have been consistent. The 1982-83 school year marks the beginning of a concerted, continuous effort to recruit minority students, faculty, and staff to Longwood, despite the fact that the overall plan has been deemed a failure. With the installment of Longwood's new President, Dr. Janet Greenwood, and other new persons under her administration, great measures are being taken to insure the enrollment of minority students at Longwood. The summer of 1982 saw colossal effort to recruit minority students. An "ad hoc" committee was formed whose duties were to locate and recruit minority students for the 1982-83 academic year. The committee began by confirming the minority applicants already accepted to Longwood by sending to each student personal welcome letters from Dr. Greenwood and Edna Allen-Bledsoe, Minority Affairs Coordinator. In addition, Ms. Allen-Bledsoe and Delores Scott, a new minority Admission Counselor, made a personal
phone call to each student. Other plans of action include location of additional applicants through review of applications on file, the contacting of local schools, and the reviewing of the available lists of high school graduates from the past three or four years eligible for admission to Longwood. Just as tremendous effort has been made to recruit the minority to Longwood, that much more effort has been made to keep the students here. "The quality of black life has to improve at Longwood," says Ms. Allen Bledsoe. "The minority student needs to see evidences of a college environment that is culturally and socially enriched enough to fit his-her needs." Efforts to retain minority students include the emphasis of black organizations on campus. The Afro-American Student Alliance and the Basic Gospel Choir are such organizations. In addition, there are two black Greek organizations on campus; Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and f Continued on Page 2)

,& By MIKE LYNCH As predicted, the Spanish Socialist Workers Party had a field day in the country's recent National elections gaining 201 of the parliament's 350 seats for a clear majority and making Felipe Gonzalez Marques Spain's new prime minister. Spain's army did not, as feared, retaliate with a military coup, stating that they would support whatever party comes out on top. The victory marks Socialism's reemergance as a political power after they were ousted in Spain's civil war 47 years ago. The conservative opposition now comes from the second most successful party, the Alianzo Popularises, led by Manuel Fragot Irisbasne. And if the socialists fail to succeed in solving Spain's many problems, highlighted by 16 percent unemployment and 12 percent inflation and a still very touchy governmental structure, the Alianzo's will probably win the majority in the next elections two years away. The Socialist's goals are not going to take quite as abrupt a turn from former policy as one would expect, mainly due to the fact that there is very little manuevering room in the economic crisis and they want to please as many people as possible, socialist or not. The only industry that will be nationalized is electronics and the only real touchy issues are the proposals to legalize abortion and withdraw Spain from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The National Conference of Catholic Bishops, the ruling body
J
of this country's 51 million Catholics, recently drafted a pastoral letter condemning American and NATO strategies of deploying nuclear arms, should the Soviet Union invade Western Europe by conventional methods. Putting themselves in direct conflict with government directives, the architects of the letter stated that "We do not perceive any situation in which the deliberate initiation of nuclear warfare, on however restricted a scale, can be morally justified." The letter is not intended as a strict directive to the country's Catholics but rather as a guideline should decisions in that area need to be made. For antinuclear activists, the letter could not have come at a better time as general elections were upon the public and the fact that the letter would have influence on the races was undeniable although the Catholic hierarchy has publicly denied that this was their intent. Government reaction to the letter consisted of the statement that we need the nuclear strategy mainly as a threat to the Russians to stay put and also as a counter balance to the fact that the Russians enjoy a 2.6 to 1 advantage in conventional firepower. The Catholic response: "We have judged immoral even the threat to use nuclear weapons." A scuffle between local police of Miracle Valley Arizona 100 miles south of Tuscon, and members of the Christ Miracle Healing Center and Church, an all-black religious group
originally from Chicago, resulted in two deaths and two police officers wounded. Augusta Tate and William Thomas, Jr., both of the church, died in the altercation which was ignited when police tried to issue warrants to two of the church members for failure to answer traffic violations summons. Five men then attacked the two officers who proceeded to call for a back up. Nine police cars responded and around 100 church members were out to greet them with any kind of weapon they could find. The police fired no shots, although they were clearly outnumbered until two of them were hit by shotgun fire whereupon they started shooting back while retreating. After the fight, ten members of the church were arrested which probably did not upset them too much since arrests of Christ Miracle members have been commonplace ever since they arrived. Claiming that the townspeople were not exactly being nice to them, the congregation started patrolling their own streets with the intention of keeping everybody else out. They filed civil rights suits against the local authorities, even though the rest of the black townspeople got along fine with the whites, and once ran the police out of their neighborhood at gunpoint. In the face of these charges and many others against them, the church members refuse to leave insisting that they are simply living a life of total holiness according to the Bible. No one else seems to agree.
Flight Service Lands In Farmville ByGEREELYELL "Theoretically, it's a profit operation, but its my hobby too." This is what Fred Hanbury, manager of the Citizen's Savings and Ix>an in Farmville had to say about his new business, a chartered flight service and flight school. Mr. Hanbury, a certified flight instructor for Air Virginia in Lynchburg, is offering, to both the Farmville community and the college students, services in the areas of in-flight air training, ground school, and chartered air flights. In addition to being a flight instructor, Mr. Hanbury is also a commercial pilot with 480 flight hours logged. He received his commercial and instrument ratings at Flight Safety in Vero Beach, Fla., and his instructorrating at Air Virginia in Lynchburg. For his flights, he uses either a Cessna 172 or Piper Arrow plane, both standards of the small plane type "The Cessna plane is owned by Air
Virginia and the Piper is my own," said Hanbury. "Both are heavily insured with personal liability in the millions. Both are very safe planes, very standard in chartered flights." Hanbury hopes to build up the service of the remodeled Farmville airport, which is now owned by the town. When asked about the expense of flying, Hanbury replied, "I don't charge for my time, just for the expense of the equipment and gasoline. I'm trying to build up the service, and that's where all the profit is going." Basically, a chartered flight costs about $50 an hour for 1-3 persons. What that means is that three people could split the cost and fly for the same price as one person. The distance of a one hour flight is approximately from Farmville to Washington D.C. "I'll fly people pretty much anywhere as long as there is an airport nearby," said Hanbury He has recently flowi. people to the Worlds Fair and Florida 't had any offers
from Longwood students yet. Hanbury is also offering flight instruction, both ground school and in-flight. Ground school costs $100 per person for 35 hours of instruction. Upon completion, the student should be ready for the F.A.A. Private Pilot Written Test. In-flight hours cost $42 for solo and $52 with an instructor. Forty hours are needed to complete the requirements for a private pilot's license. "I offer instruction ranging from private to commercial," commented Hanbury. "The flight school will be held at the Farmville Airport." When asked why he began his new business, Hanbury replied, "I wanted to offer a reasonably modern flight service to Farmville and in the process, profit by gaining more flight time for myself." If interested in a chartered flight or flight school training, Mr. Hanbury can be reached at 392-3147 during the day or 392-3614 in the evening.
Artist-of-theMonth Award The winner of the Longwood College Art Department's Artist of the Month Award for October is Kathryn DeHaven for her silkscreen print, "Adventures in Print." Miss HeHaven was born in 1962 in Dayton, Ohio. As her father was an Army officer, she and her family have traveled extensively. She feels fortunate in having lived in Africa and Germany and in having had the opportunity to see the famous works of art which surrounded her. After four years in Germany, Kathryn and her family returned to the United States to reside in Newport Virginia, where she graduated from Menchville High School in 1980. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. T.R. DeHaven, now live in Dale City. Kathryn was uncertain of her major when she came to Longwood her freshman year. After taking a few art classes,
however, she knew exactly what her interest was: the field of art. She is presently a Junior Art Major, working towards a B.F.A. degree in Crafts. She plans to use her artistic ability to fulfill her goals in the future. She enjoys designing and building toys for children, and hopes some day she will be able to sell her work in a small store of her own. Second place in the studio competition went to Rebecca Silberman, a Freshman Art Major from Leesburg, and third Place to Wanda Lloyd, a Senior Art Major from Blackstone. The Artist-of-the-Month Contest is a monthly competition open to all students enrolled in Art classes at Longwood. The award carries a $50 cash prize and the winning works are displayed in the Bedford Art Building at the College. The competition is now in its third successful year.

Minority Students (Continued from Page 1) Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Efforts are being made to insure the presence of other black Greek organizations in the near future. The newly dedicated N.P. Miller Room in Curry Dormitory is designated as a meeting place for minority students, where they can study, hold A.A.S.A. meetings, talk, or just relax. A biannual newsletter entitled "The Summit", has also begun publication as of Fall, 1982. This newsletter is geared towards minority students, with hopes that they will actively participate in its publication. Development of a Minority Studies Program at Longwood is currently taking place. The Social Work Department will act as coordinator of the curricula and have committed themselves to the locating of a study area. Another approach to the
retention of minority students is the visibility of minority faculty and staff on Longwood's campus. The implementation of a Faculty Exchange Program is highly possible in the near future. Under this program faculty from Norfolk and Virginia State Universities would come to Longwood to teach in substitution for Longwood faculty members sent to teach at these predominately black institutions. The United States Department of Education is currently reviewing a revised Virginia Plan submitted by John Casteen several weeks ago. According to Gary Groneweg, Director of Admissions, ther '?hnically no longer exists a vt.-ginia Plan. "Longwood has made a conscious commitment to insure the enrollment of minority students and we will continue to do so, Virginia Plan or not."

Normally, considering the events of the previous week and the passing of liquor by the drink for Farmville and Prince Edward County on November 2, alcoholism should have been the subject of any editorial commentary. A short paragraph or two describing the advantages of pina coladas over lobster newburg or the disgracefulness of running 70 down route 15, one six pack per mile. However, a major event has anticipated this writing and caused me to reconsider the subject for my editorial. In a way (a strange way) the new subject is analogous to alcoholism. It has a corruptible influence on youth and spreads like that liquid fire through the system. It destroys judgment and general mental capabilities (particularly siphoning visceral material from fact) and finally it disables — leaving the victim a raw mass of paranoid nerve endings. Simply put, it's a cold war. About a week and a half ago in the Frazer TV room, Dr. Crowl and Dr. Helms both of the Longwood history department debated certain U.S. foreign policy moves. A more or less rhetorical question was thrown out to the student audience: Rotunda "Would the Soviet Union ever attempt a nuclear weapon first strike aimed at the U.S.?" The answer — wide-eyed head nods and a growing consensus — Yes. Yes? Rather a shocker to anyone who has faith in the basic intelligence of college students. The right answer is, of course, no. To paraphrase Mr. Weinberger, a USSR first strike is not really a possibility because the U.S. or NATO would actually be the first potential users of nuclear weaponry due to a possible Soviet conventional attack. Simple; engraved in our foreign policy, Lonpwood but the students still said Yes. I write this with no real hopes ('.olfll*IK<* of a change in student opinion, because one finds that the basis for most decisions made by students and others (from Dr. Helms to President Reagan) is a knee jerk ideology with its roots Editor-in-Chief in fear (the roots of conservatism Joe Johnson in general) — a delusion propagated by Reagan's SPORTS IIH i mi Kay Schmidt steadfast refusal to talk detente NKWS union Mike Lynch and .a consequential cold war Pl'BI.KITY/FKATl'RK M il I on (ind> (orrell mentality which forms a window KEATl'RK EDITOR Johnel Brown Aovmuma MANAODI MIMJ v*—t of crisis for U.

Once again, students are distrustful and objecting to yet another brainchild of the new Longwood administration. As tuition, room and board creep up dollar by dollar each year, living expenses leave students a bit strapped for funds and more critical of the way their monies are being spent. Recently students were informed that effective January • 1983, a $100 damage deposit would be collected of each dormitory student. The $100 would be kept for the entire time a student resides at Longwood, and returned to the student, in full, providing no damage or vandalism expenses were assessed to the student's account. Students are questioning the "If tlmnttfte w dime in o mule or on o hall. administration's proposed use of tuiil the hliune van not ln< aH*e**e<l. oil the the collected deposits, and more importantly the use of the MiuileiilH...uill be hrhl reniumnihle timl interest accrued on the sum of the bUleil.

VCU "Sigmas Block Show By DORA ANN DANIEL Saturday, October 30, was a fair, mild night, the perfect weather for the clusters of people standing outside the Commonwealth Room restless, waiting for the show to begin. However, the show couldn't begin without the main attraction: the brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated from Virginia Commonwealth University. This black Greek organization was invited to Longwood College by the AfroAmerican Student Alliance to perform a block show. "Blocking," a social ritual characteristic of the eight existing national black Greek organizations, consists of a series of synchronized dance steps and chants with a variety of head, arm, and hand movements incorporated into the routine.
ni
The Sigmas, scheduled to perform at 8:00 p.m. didn't arrive until 9:30 p.m., finding many of their audience perturbed and impatient, or simply gone. Nonetheless, with their fraternity sweethearts cheering them on, they gave an impressive performance, evoking a healthy round of applause from the remainder of the audience, along with some cheers, whistles, and standing ovations. A dance followed the show, giving the visiting fraternity an opportunity to mingle with Longwood students. The affair ended at 2:00 a.m. with the students reluctant to see their visitors leave. There were several goodbyes and invitations to return with the Sigmas extending an invitation to the students to attend their next performance at VCU on December 3, 1982.
Suds Beat Energy At The Worlds Fair ByUZD'SURNEY It was just after 12:00 Friday afternoon when we pulled off the road and stopped the car on the shoulder of Rt. 460 West, just outside of Farmville. The four of us jumped out of the white Ford Escort, loaded down with suitcases, cameras and 2 grocery bags full of junk food, and wildly began scribbling the words "KNOXVILLE OR BUST WORLD'S FAIR" on the rear window in thick heavy lines of ivory soap. Seven and a half hours later we pulled into the driveway of Three Chimneys of Knoxville, our place of residence for the weekend. At 10:00 p.m. we were sitting on the porch of the second floor watching the daily fireworks of the World's Fair. Early Saturday morning, we headed out, a ticket in hand, to attend the fair. We entered the gates, gazing at the enormous pavilions, confused as to which direction to follow first. Finally, we found ourselves headed toward Australia. ENERGY ENERGY boomed the voice as we entered the building. We stopped to watch cartoons on conserving Petrol. ENERGY ENERGY rang the voice as we fell in step with the crowd and wandered past the exhibits of windmills and new machinery. ENERGY ENERGY echoed in our minds as we stepped out into the sun and proceeded to the Federal
Express show. Little did we know ENERGY was to haunt us continually for the next two days. The expansion of technology and our ever changing society were pointed out through the Federal express show. Numerous screens, each showing a different picture changed every few seconds to show new products on the market. A family was portrayed as being lost and caught up in the whirlwind of technological advancement and seeking ways to deal with these new ideas. Exiting the Express theatre, we strolled through the fair observing the sights and people. We soon found ourselves standing in line for a live performance called Sing Tennessee. Waiting in line we heard fireworks and sirens ringing in the air. The 1982 World's Fair had reached its goal, the 11 millionth person had just walked through the gates. Before the start of the show, the 11 millionth couple, from Connecticut, was escorted onto stage. One by one, representatives greeted them and presented them with an elaborate gift from their country. Among these gifts were books, wood carvings, paper weights and many bottles of wine. T.V. cameramen and reporters were scattered throughout the crowd capturing the special moment. Sing Tennessee was a medley of songs which made Nashville famous. Songs of long ago to
present day were sung and acted out, reliving moments in history. The talent of the performers was rewarded by a standing ovation from an appreciative audience. Leaving an hour of entertainment behind us, we moved on to Germany...Italy...only to find that ENERGY and its benefits to society was still being embedded into our minds. We headed to the Budweiser House. Here, it was not long before we forgot all about energy and technology...Eventually leaving the Budweiser House, we headed for Mexico, Japan, the Phillipines...Hungary...In each pavilion we walked around observing but not absorbing all the facts and information presented to us. We retraced our footsteps...to the Budweiser House. We found this to be the only place where we could relax and truly "absorb" our environment. We still had much to see, so off we went. Canada, Egypt, Peru, ENERGY, ENERGY. It was getting to be 10:00, time for the pavilions to close. When they did, we stationed ourselves on a bench to watch the fireworks. The show was tremendous, with dozens and dozens of fireworks darting into the air and bursting in the night. When the fireworks ended, we headed to a Halloween party...at the Budweiser House. The place was crowded with people of all (Continued on Page 8)
Settini Entertains Full Crowd By DEBBIE RIPPV He calls himself "Tim Settini, the Mime (me, me)." When I first saw him, he was dressed casual and was very relaxed and put my nerves quickly at ease. There was a stool in Mr. Dent's office that Tim quickly started studying and commented that it might be a good addition to the act. He then laid across it and began humming the theme to "Superman" while spinning on it. He was inspired by a clown, Jango Edwards, who about 10 years ago, cooled out about 200 bikers with his mime talents. Tim went on to study in Boston at the Pocket Mime Theater. He performed street mime for about five years. He prefers to perform in clubs as opposed to colleges since he gets a wider cross section. He has realized this in just the past year. After the performance he stated that he also enjoyed performing at Long wood. As a child, he was rather shy since his family moved around a lot due to his father's job and learned to make friends easily by displaying his drawing ability. He was raised by strict Roman Catholic parents and describes himself as a 'creepy little kid.'
From this he uses one of the grade school teachers, Sister Rosangela, in several jokes during the show. He graduated from Western Illinois University as an art major in painting and sculpture. At age 33 he has his own cafe called Cafe Debris, which he drew the blueprints for and has completed in the past five years when not working. He does perform there and has sort of a Vaudeville house. Recently he performed with Flip, the clown mime that was here over Oktoberfest. Tim considers himself a clown. His own definition is "a clown can do anything at all." A clown uses the art of mime, music, jokes, etc. The hardest part, though, is writing and coming up with new ideas. He gets his ideas from what is in front of him. Different things around us, if looked at, are rather funny. Before the show, Eddie Esalto commented on Tim's performance. "He is one of the most touching, yet funny performers you will ever see at Longwood. He doesn't look at it like a job, rather just something he enjoys doing." Tim began the performance on roller skates and had a few ad
libs with the noises coming from Stubbs. He pulled out the stool he was horsing around with in Mr. Dent's office and repeated some of the same antics. After removing the skates, he talks about graffiti and described it as the "bumper stickers for the toilet." Then on to bathroom pranks of which he learned some from his three younger sisters. He demonstrated the many uses of a flute and then suggested a sing-a-long when he played the guitar. Everyone was interested in this possibility when he quickly shouted, "I hate insincere enthusiasm!" The serious part of the show included two very artistic skits. The first was "The Heart Takes the Stage" in which a janitor cleaning up after the show in one of the dressing rooms, believes he is the star. However, reality returns. "The life cycle" was very moving. You see how quickly one goes through the many stages of life and how soon it is over. At first, everyone is still while watching the new infant, then giggle as he is a small child and near tears when he is old. He ends by telling us he is our 'crazy man,' our 'exception.' If nothing else he has proved that.

Bishop Exhibits Work Three handmade paper and fiber collage works by Barbara Bishop were included in the ARTPAPER exhibit at the F & M Gallery in Richmond during the month of October. The exhibit was sponsored by the Hand Workshop, Inc., with support from F & M National Bank. Ten Virginia artists who utilize handmade paper in their work were represented in the exhibit. They are: Nancy Dahlstrom, Hollins; Laura Pharis, Carolyn Ferrell, Nancy David, and Dale Keator, all of Richmond; Rebecca Humphrey and Barbara Fast, of Harrisonburg; Liz Kregloe, Staunton; William F.
Harmon, Bon Air; and Ms. Bishop, who is chairman of the art department at I/)ngwood College. These artist practice the ancient craft of papermaking, a process which has not changed since the Chinese Ts'ai Lun first formed paper from mulberry trees in 195 A.D., because it offers "a variety of aesthetic qualities," "much flexibility for color, texture, and form," and is "a very exciting and unpredictable process." Ms. Bishop's works in the exhibit were Earth Shield — Three and Four, and Measure of the Land, Two.

Lancers Win Visa Semifinals By HOKE CURR1E and BECKY DUNK Longwood's hard-charging soccer team took a giant step toward a state title Sunday afternoon as the Lancers defeated Roanoke 4-2 in the Virginia Intercollegiate Soccer Association state semifinals. Now 14-3-1, Longwood will host the winner of Wednesday's semifinal battle between Lynchburg and Virginia Wesleyan in the state title game Saturday afternoon at 2:00 on First Ave. Field. Longwood closes out its regular season Wednesday afternoon with a contest at William & Mary beginning at 2:30. While the Lancers got good news on the field Sunday, there was some disappointing off-thefield news. Longwood will apparently not receive a bid to the NCAA Div. II Playoffs despite having one of the best records in the nation. The South Region selection committee ranked three Florida teams above the Ixincers. "We're disappointed," said Coach Rich Posipanko, "but not too surprised. I had heard earlier in the day (Sunday) that our chances looked pretty good if we beat Roanoke, but it didn't work out that way. Two members of the selection committee are from Florida and they feel that Tar.pa, Central Florida and Florida International are stronger than us." Only 12 teams are selected for the Division II Playoffs nationwide. In Sunday's VISA state semifinal game against Roanoke, longwood scored first with only nine minutes gone in the game and held the lead throughout the rest of the match. Senior Gus Leal and junior Tim
Brennan led the Lancer offense by scoring two goals apiece. Leal now has a total of 51 career goals (a school record) and Brennan has 32 total points. Goalie Brian Sprinkle played a good game, stopping many Roanoke shots. In regular season play last week, Longwood beat rival Hampden-Sydney 5-2. in the Farmville Herald Challenge Cup TheLancers bd at the half by just one goal, but went on to score two more in the second half for the victory. High scorer for the game was Leal with his third two-goal game of the season. The other three Lancer goals were scored by Steve Kern, Dan Bubnis, and Tim Brennan. Kern and Brian Allmendinger each had one assist in the game. Posipanko called Sunday's
Volleyball Upping their record to 7-10, Longwood's volleyball team split with Roanoke and Mary Washington Thursday night, beating the Maroons 15-10, 15-13 but falling to the Blue Tide 10-15, 15-11, 15-11. Longwood ends its season Monday at Chowan with Elizabeth City. Earlier in the week (Monday) the Lady Lancers fell to Eastern Mennonite 15-12, 15-13 and Liberty Baptist 15-9, 15-7. Coach Joyce Phillips praised co-captains Kathy Gunning and Elaine Olay and freshman Karen Moye for their play in Thursday's twin bill. "Moye did a good job at the net and Gunning and Olay played well overall," said the coach. "Gunning was a real motivator for the team in Thursday's action. She keeps talking and helps keep the team fired up."
Player of the Week From Sports Information Senior back Mike McGeehan, who stepped in for the injured Joe Parker and helped Longwood's soccer team reel off three wins in a row, has been named Longwood College Player of the Week for | the period October 29 to November 5. Player of the Week is chosen by the Longwood Sports Information Office. McGeehan, in his fourth year on the lancer squad, led the way on defense from his centerfullback post as Longwood beat Mount St. Mary's 5-2, Radford 2-0 and Hampden-Sydney 5-2 Friday. The win over The Mount and Radford (October 30-31) gave Longwood the title in the MidAtlantic Div. II Classic. "Mike did a great job filling in for Parker," said Coach Rich Posipanko. "He provided us with leadership as well as outstanding play. His play helped us give up just four goals in those three games."

Number One On The Team And A Grandmother Too
By BECKY DUNK Angie Coppedge is the number one player on Longwood's women's tennis team. She also happens to be a grandmother. "When the other girls on the team talk about their moms and dads coming to the matches, I talk about my husband and kids coming to watch," says Angie. A Farmville resident and senior at Longwood, Angie is married (her husband is a doctor in Farmville), has several children and just recently became a grandmother. This fall she tried out for the Longwood women's tennis team. Not only did she make the team, she's the number one player in singles and teams with Lisa Barnes of Suffolk at number one doubles. Dressed in complete tennis apparel and racquet in hand,
Stickers Longwood's field hockey team ended its season Wednesday with a 2-1 win over Division I VCU. The Lady Lancers upped its record to 8-7 overall and 2-0 in Division II play. Trailing 1-0 at halftime, the Lady Lancers rallied to score two points in the second half to defeat the Lady Rams. Senior forward Chris Mayer scored the tying goal at 5:34 into the second period and freshman Susan Groff scored the winning point with 94 minutes left in play. Groff and B.J. Casey each picked up an assist, while goalie Lorrie Garber had seven saves. "Chris has been a leader this year as a cocaptain," said Coach Bette Harris. "She demonstrated her leadership quality in the VCU game by playing assertively to score the tying goal which helped the other players get motivated to play better." The Lady Stickers, which boasts one of the toughest schedules of Longwood athletic teams, played nine Division I schools mis season. Their season was highlighted by wins over Division I Richmond (1-0), Davidson (4-3) and VCU (2-1) and Division II Randolph-Ma con (0-0) and Radford (4-0). Longwood competes in NCAA Division II. Groff led the Lady Lancers in scoring this season with seven goals, followed by Pam Esworthy with five and Mayer with four. Garber headed up the defense, averaging over sue saves per game while allowing only 1.8 goals per contest. The senior goalkeeper had six shutouts this season. KMS
Angie explains why she tried out for Longwood's tennis team: "All of my friends had become too busy to play, so I decided to look elsewhere for tennis partners. I wasn't sure I could make the team, but it was my only shot. This is my last year ... I knew I couldn't do it (play on the team) any more after this." An avid tennis player for the past 10 years, Angie had earned a reputation as one of the top women netters in the area, but she played mostly "social tennis" before this fall. "I didn't play tennis in high school because women didn't compete as much back then," she says. "If I had been given a chance, though, I think I could have been a superstar." Angie says that when she hit the court for the very first match, "I asked myself, 'What am I doing here?" It took me a while to settle down and get over the nervousness." A large part of Angie's nervousness stemmed from the fact that she is older than her opponents. "I overcame my uneasiness by reminding myself that everyone's equal on the court," she says. "Age isn't a factor in winning a match. It just depends on who plays the best." "When I first made the team," says Angie, "I worried that the other girls wouldn't accept me because I'm older and play in the number one spot. They accept and support me as much as they do each other, though. The girls have really been great. We're all in it together." The women's tennis team recently completed their season. Angie finished with a record of 3-7 in singles and 6-3 in doubles. She lost three three-set singles matches after winning the first set. Angie won't be able to play spring tennis because she will be

Angie's courage, combined with a love for the game and the desire to win, add to her effectiveness as a player. "I'm a big competitor," she says. "I love to win. But I have to be patient and consistent. What probably helps me the most is that I hang in there. If I fall behind, I simply try to make it up on the next volley." "My tennis game is contradictory to my nature," Angie says. "On the court I'm calm and patient. Off the court I i always have to be doing something ... I can't sit still!" This need for something to do, the overabundance of energy which Angie possesses, compelled her to return to school several years ago. "My kids are grown and my husband works all day," she says, "so I decided to come back to school. There was no point in just sitting around doing nothing." (Continued on Page 8)

From Sports Information Last year in a season which produced an 8-15 record, the Lady Lancer basketball team was known for its defensive abilities. Coach Jane Miller believes her team must make strides in realizing its offensive potential in order to make the 1982-83 season a success. Longwood limited foes to 63.9 points a game and held the opposition below 70 points in 17 of 23 contests. Trouble was, the Lady Lancers scored but 56.5 points themselves and poor shooting was a big part of the problem. Miller feels her club is ready to score more points and bag more wins in the coming season. "We've been developing a strong defensive team," said Miller. "This year we need to improve our offensive output. We should get more scoring from our guards this year and I feel we have a group that can put together a winning season."

R.O.T.C. Update By CINDY CORELL Rappelling down 40 foot towers and small mountains, and firing military weapons on official Army rifle ranges are among some of the activities students enrolled in Longwood's Military Science courses have been doing so far this year. More than two hundred students are enrolled in these courses this semester, and they have had several exciting experiences since September. September 17, all of the students in the Freshman course, about 90 went to the University of Richmond campus to rappel down a 40-foot tower there. The next day about nineteen students went on a Ranger expedition to the Kyanite Mine, located on Willis Mountain. There, these students rapelled much more realistically down the face of the mountain. They were instructed by Dr. Alan Ferrell, the Head of the Foreign Language Dept. at Hampden-Sydney College and a
Reserved Green Beret. Also on this weekend, the third year advanced R.O.T.C. (Reserved Officer Training Corps.) cadets went on an outing to Aberdeen, Maryland for a planned orientation tour of the duties of an officer in the Ordinance Corps. The trip included a brief look into the firing and optical systems of armoured vehicles, and a sneak preview of the latest super-tank, the M-l Abrams. In mid-October, all the advanced R.O.T.C. students travelled to Fort A. P. Hill to complete a Field Leadership Exercise (F.L.X.) with the R.O.T.C. students from the University of Richmond. The cadets stayed in Army Barracks, ate C-Rations and spent the days firing military weapons and navigating map and compass courses.
