Freedom Summer Students Dance For MD Campaign College campuses across the country are the focus of a massive student recruitment drive for an unprecedented voter registration campaign aimed at registering one million low income votes. The campaign, "Freedom Summer '84," has already gained wide support from campus organizers and leaders including students recently selected as paid coordinators. They will launch a recruitment blitz to enroll 5,000 student volunteers who will register voters at public assistance offices, "cheese lines," health clinics and other social service agencies in 60 cities. The 10-week project, June 1 through August 11, is sponsored by the United States Student Association (USSA), the National Student Educational Fund and Human SERVE (Service Employees Registration Voter Education) Fund. The drive marks the 20th anniversary of "Mississippi Freedom Summer 1964," a movement which drew students to the deep South. They plaed a major role in mobilizing and registering many disenfranchised Blacks, helping to gain passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1964. Freedom Summer '84 will involve a broader spectrum of statewide student associations, student governments and campus-based fraternities and sororities. They will be supervised by leading voter
registration organizations such as the Voter Education Project, Midwest Voter Registration and Education Project, Southwest Voter Registration and Education Project and Project VOTE! Many students will receive course credit, while more than 40 social work departments are placing students as part of field work programs. "Freedom Summer '84 will be the most important project that students can commit themselves to this summer. It will be an invaluable learning experience and provide the opportunity to move into the forefront of the political arena," said USSA President Greg Moore. "By November, any lingering doubts about the importance of students in the electoral process should be dispelled." USSA includes 3.5 million members and affiliates on over 300 campuses. Many of the affiliates have already recruited volunteers and are conducting campus voter registration. Freedom Summer Coordinators, selected from every region, will be paid weekly stipends and will launch campus rallies, teach-ins, classroom speaking and other drives to reach large numbers of students. Human SERVE Executive Director Hulbert James noted that student participation will give significant momentum to ongoing registration drives at social service agencies. Human (Continued on Page 4)
An energetic group of Longwood College students recently danced for 21 hours to raise money in the fight against muscular dystrophy. The "Super Dance," held in Ixmgwood's lower dining hall, began at 6 p.m. on Friday, April 6, and lasted until 3 o'clock the following afternoon. Thirty-two students participated; all but six danced the entire time, said coordinator Eddie Esatto. Those six people had to limit their dancing for medical reasons. They raised more than $2,200 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Esatto said. Each dancer had received pledges - some per hour, others a total pledge — prior to the dance. "This year's dance was a rebuilding process," explained Esatto. "We've had Super Dances at Longwood since 1979, but we didn't have one last year. We were trying to acclimate the freshmen and sophomores who didn't know what a Super Dance was." The dancers took 10-minute breaks every hour, and reserved a half-hour for dinner Friday and a half-hour for breakfast and lunch Saturday. "This was a dance-a-thon, not a dance marathon. But they still danced their hearts out." Pi Kappa Phi fraternity coordinated the dance, with help from all iraternities and sororities. About 500-600 people attended a mixer Friday evening at the Super Dance. "The mixer helped, because those people saw
Jim Steve and Susan Aasen dance to "Rock of Ages". the dancers and said to themselves, 'Maybe we'll do this next year,' " Esatto said. "We're hoping to have greater participation and raise over $6,000 next year." Billy Duncan, a disc jockey for Q-94 radio station and a former Longwood student, played music from 6 Friday
evening until 1 in the morning. "I can still hear music playing in my head," laughed Esatto, who was in the lower dining hall from early Friday afternoon until a few hours after the dance ended. Asked if the dancers felt "dead" by Saturday afternoon, Esatto said, "Actually, they were fairly peppy near the end."
LIVE '84 A Success A funny thing happened — or, rather, didn't happen — during LIVE '84 on Saturday, March 31. Organizers of LIVE '84, a Longwood College-sponsored volunteer work day in the community, had expected something to eventually go wrong with the first-time event. However, they were pleasantly surprised. "I thought we'd have some problems at some point in the day, but everything went like clock-work," said coordinator Tom Bailey. "The volunteers were great," added Bailey, a senior from Richmond. "We never had any complaints. Sign-in wasn't supposed to start until 8:30 — we Trae. Good^ o. M Taa Alpha remove. Step.es ,ron, wiadow tad^tj^l*^ at the Old Mill.
faculty and staff took part in the work day, known as "Longwood Initiates volunteer Energy." Volunteers performed yardwork at the homes of senior citizens and Ixmgwood's Alumni House; painted windows at the Old Mill; picked up trash along several roads; cleaned the former high school; Scope Senior Citizens Center, and the United Way-Red Cross office; and visited patients at Eldercare and Holly Manor. "We had doubled the number of workers for each site, thinking some wouldn't show, but just about everybody that we assigned to a work site showed up," Bailey -aid. "So the jobs got finished a lot quicker than we had anticipated. There were very few no-shows."
The work began around 9:30 in the morning, as the longwood bus transported workers to their sites. Members of Alpha Chi Rho fraternity and Kappa Oelta sorority worked at the former high school. Members of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority worked at the Old Mill, which is now used by the Waterworks Players, and visited at Eldercare. Alpha (lamma Delta sisters picked up trash along Rt. 15 south. Members of Longwood's Institutional Advancement staff worked outside at the Alumni House "I talked to guys who were driving the town trucks and they said they had never seen people working so hard," said Bailey. "They picked up 275 bags of grabage."

Yes, that's right, friends and neighbors, for a nominal fee of twenty-thousand dollars per year your children will be able to follow in your footsteps and graduate from Longwood in the year 2006. Longwood — The University. You heard it right, friends — Longwood University. And they'll have their choice of any one of two-hundred and thirty-seven majors to choose from. Yes, two-hundred and thirty-seven. Majors from kayaking to bricklaying. That's right, Longwood, the Southern Women's College in Farmville, Virginia, is finally growing out of its diapers. There will be no stone left unturned. The College Board of Visitors met last week and approved an eleven percent hike in tuition and fees for the 1984-85 year. In-State resident students will be paying $4,383 while out-of-state students will pay $5,608. For you English majors, that's a $17,532 per diploma for in-state and $22,432 per diploma for out-of-state students. The Board cited the pursuit of "educational excellence" as reasoning for the increase. The current increase comes on the heels of another, and, it seems, is part of an endless love of increases. As students, our input into the actual necessity of the increase as well as the budgeting itself, is nill. We are at the mercy of THE BOARD, as it chooses to cite vague reasons for the increase. Further in the pursuit of "educational excellence", the Board authorized the proposal of additional programs in the Longwood curriculum. These programs may be proposed to the State Council on Higher Education and, if approved, initiated between 1986 and 1993. They include, at the undergraduate level, programs in Actuarial Science, Management Information Systems, Public Justice, Rural Development, Energy Resource Management, Public Administration, and Nursing. At the Graduate level, your kids might be able to pick up an MBA at LU! The Board of Visitors and others are clearly setting their sights somewhere around Jupiter. It would be ludicrous to establish thirteen new degree programs at a school with 2500 students, and the attempt to do so would only harm the existing programs. Longwood currently has a vast majority of business majors, and the economics minor was recently dropped from the Business Department. And we're now going to be able to support thirteen new majors? Hardly. The effort is one in a series of such actions which makes some few look very good, while the students of this college only suffer. Editorial Staff
Your Turn To the Editor: "Unity" may be defined as a group of individuals coming together to achieve a common goal. Now a group of students here, at Longwood College, have put these words into action, by forming Unity. Unity's main objective is to dissolve the silly prejudices that are on Longwood's campus. The group hopes to accomplish their goal by presenting a play entitled "Not You" by Terry McAllister, a member of Unity. This play will have many of the prejudices that blacks and whites feel towards each other. How did Unity originate? It was Charles Pace's workshop on Sunday, February 5, 1984, that brought together and motivated ten students to form Unity. Pace,
through a series of discussion questions, assisted the students in realizing how little black and white students get together, and how usually when they do get together the main goal, of both races, is to party. Unity realizes that people should be regarded as people rather than by color; therefore, they would like to see black and white students, not only partying together, but going beyond that type of relationship to a group of people with a common goal... a Unity.
Dear Sir: I would like you to put the following article in the next issue of The Rotunda. If there are any problems, please do not hesitate to contact me. On April 18th, ARA will feature a birthday dinner featuring a variety of French items. This decision to offer French menu items is correlated to the promotion which is entitled "Restore Freedom's Symbol." This promotion revolves around the restoration of the Statue of Liberty which was given to us by the French people in 1886. This restoration which is entirely being funded by public contributions is essential as time and environmental factors have played its toll on the statue. Indeed, without 230 million for restoration the Statue of Liberty will close by the year 1996. For this reason, we are asking that the Longwood community work
in conjunction with ARA towards this worthy cause. Contributions need not be large. A mere 50 cents from every dorm student would allow Longwood to contribute close to 900 dollars. Let's all do our share and preserve this symbol of freedom. Donations will be collected on the evening of April 18th. Once again, let's all do our share! F. Dunseth ARA Services

SPRING WEEKEND Gene Cotton A Review By EDDIE HOLLANDER I didn't want to review Gene Cotton's show Thursday night in the Gold Room. One of my favorite artists was here at Langwood, half-way through his performance and I wasn't enjoying it. The songs were good, naturally. After all, this was Gene Cotton with "Ocean of Life" and "Before My Heart Finds Out," which were both hits in the seventies. His twelve-string guitar-work on "Ocean of Life" was impressive and the crowd was appreciative. Still, we were an hour into this show, and I wasn't excited. It wasn't great' it was just good. I was worried that this show was going to be the Gene Cotton Top Ten Hits Hour. Fortunately, I soon found that I was wrong. Most of the songs were from Cotton's albums, but played many of his less popular tunes. "Junk Song" was very enjoyable, and Cotton had a good time with it, drawing the audience in to participating. "Cosmic Book of Jokes" was one of the evening's many reversions in to a 1960's
spirit, and an example of Cotton's brilliant song-writing. "Yours People" was also very good. Cotton's twenty minute comedy routine was unnecessary and it wasn't in keeping with the mood of many of the evening's songs. I didn't come to see Gene Cotton the comic, and the routine was not good enough to make me want to see him again in that mode. Once he was through the comedy, however, I was again impressed with his music. His interpretation yes, interpretation — of the Beatle's "Eleanor Rigby" was the highlight of the show. It was superb, and it showed the heaviest emphasis on Cotton's soothing voice of any song all night. "Friend of Mine," written on December 9,1980, was a good follow to "Eleanor Rigby." "Shine On," which may be said to be Cotton's theme song, was also very good. Cotton closed the show with "Circle Song" and a singalong of "Amazing Grace." Cotton's performance was good, though perhaps not at its best, and I hope to see Gene Cotton at Longwood again.
STATES In another Student Union's freebie, The States were a resounding success for the third year in a row. But that was no surprise. With the best combined drumming, bass and vocals of any Longwood-caliber band there was no chance that The States were going to be anything but a great time. And if that show was any indication of where they are going in the future, it's right back here next year, instead of on to bigger things where a band of their ability should be. One could see it in the air about the band that they have settled into touring either as a warm-up for other bands or in such lucrative places as Longwood's lower dining hall. They played their songs with definite ease, an ease that indicated not only a lot of familiarity with the songs, but the sheer fact that most of the newer songs they were playing were easy. Like many bands today, The States have shifted their style enough to be considered another of the syntho-pop bands that are turning up all over the country. Certainly The States figured that their talent would go over big when offered to the same audience that bought up the
Snuff A Success By VINCE DECKER Snuff played to one of the biggest paid crowds of the year in the lower dining hall Saturday night. No worn out pre-programmed synthesized funk this night — just good ole stompin' music — Southern rock at its best. Their sound, blend of early Eagles with a bit of Charlie Danielsish fiddle thrown in for good measure had the audience out of their chairs and jumping early. The vocal harmony was reminiscent of Crosby, Stills and Nash. The three guitarists stood there looking and sounding good, but the real visual excitement was provided by violinist Cecil Hooker. Hooker never sang a word, concentrating on his bowwork, going into the audience several times and gyrating to the music with his two feet of hair flying everywhere but into the strings. The song list included covers and originals but no imitations. Some of the hotter covers included Neil Young's "Ohio," "Longtall Sally" and "Friend of the Devil" by the Grateful Dead. The Southern beat and Hooker's bowwork made me want to square dance to the Dead. Snuff originals like "Boys From Oklahoma," "Night Fighter"
and "Definance in the Face of Disaster" got some of the evening's biggest responses. Lead guitarist-singer Chuck Larson introduced most of the songs and was loaded with humerous little cracks. "This is for all you people who are into farmin' and stuff like that" opened a Bluegrass medly. The introduction to "Awesome Annie" got the
most laughter: "I saw her in the corner a couple of minutes ago — she was resting her breasts on the table." I was expecting to see an Alabama clone and was very pleasantly surprised that I was wrong. Snuff is more of a Rock band than a country band, but that blend made for some real fine hodown rock and roll.

(Continued from Page 1) SERVE is a clearinghouse for agency-based registration within the human service community. Agency-based registration gives new dimension to the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Summer Campaign. That era marked a peak in student activism fueled by the civil rights movement and anti-war protests. Unlike the 1964 campaign, concentrated in the rural deep South, the 1984 effort will be launched in large urban centers and industrial states where millions are unregistered. Freedom Summer Registration sites include: California, Connecticute, Colorado, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

"Every person on the team knows his job and if we all contribute, we will have a chance of making it again."

Golfers Finish Third Despite a final day letdown, Longwood's women's golf team managed a tie for 6th place out of 12 teams in the Penn State I^ady Lion Invitational Golf Tournament Saturday and Sunday at the Penn State Blue Course in State College, Pennsylvania. While Division I power Ohio State won the crown with a 918, Longwood put together rounds of 328-334-354 for a 1016 total and a tie with Bowling Green (OH) for sixth place. The team finish went as follows: Ohio State 918, Minnesota 927, Penn State Blue 975, James Madison 987, William & Mary 1000, Longwood 1016. Bowling Green 1016, Dartmouth 1029, Amherst 1042, Rutgers 1099, Penn State White 1141 and Yale 1352. The tournament consisted of 36 holes Saturday and 18 Sunday in an endurance-testing format.

PITCHING STATISTICS Player
By KELLY SICKLER On Tuesday morning, Her field was graced with the presence of athletes of every size, age, and background. The purest kind of athlete. Athletes whose determination and stamina helped them to overcome even the greatest of handicaps. The 4th Annual Special Olympic games began at 9 a.m. with a parade consisting of kazoo players, clowns, athletes and their sponsors. In all, there were approximately 75 athletes participating in events such as the softball throw, the 50 yard dash and the broad jump. There were even special activities for the severely handicapped who for some reason were unable to participate in the regular activities. One new event that turned out to be especially successful was a dance held

inside Her gym in which everyone participated. Tuesday was cold and overcast, but the Olympics were a success, thanks to the Therapeutic Recreation Organization, who sponsored the Olympics. Also deserving recognition were the individual sponsors, who helped the athletes, and to the many area stores and businesses who donated so much. The participants came from the Sheltered Workshop, Charter Oaks in Blackstone (a training center for the handicapped), and area elementary and middle school special education classes. The mood was not "win" but instead "do your best, give it your all." And even though ribbons were given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, everyone that participated was a winner.
