My Page "I was trying to go back to sleep after deciding to blow off P.T. (Physical Training)...I heard this loud explosion. It sounded like a shotgun in the stairwell, that's how loud it was. Then the familiar fire alarm." That was how a R.O.T.C. candidate described the early stages of the Curry fire on Thursday morning. Apparently some loser woke up early or stayed up late in order to toss some type of fireworks down the trash chute. The garbage at the bottom of the chute then caught on fire. The smoke rose and escaped through broken doors that will not close. I will not waste ink raging on the lunatic who caused this fire. This homicidal human facsimile is a rare example of what happens when beastiality and exotic drug-use are combined without contraception. This person has obviously slipped through the nearflawless Longwood admissions system which has even the highestranked high school prospectives biting their nails. A shoe-in for the Quadaffi Scholarship, this hiney-wipe is destined to go down in the anals of mass murder history when he-she discovers a more effective way to incinerate hundreds of people. This fire has brought my attention back to yesteryear, when I had the opportunity to enjoy the fire drills, broken elevators and charming R.E.C.S. that make the high-rise high-life so very special. I remembered how those trash chutes are on weekends and went over to Frazier to relive those sweet memories. First we should review basic trash-chute operation (I used to be head-guy-in-charge of one of these babies before I decided to get educated). There is a little closet type room on every floor with a hatch in it. You put the trash in the hatch and it falls down the chute, a light sensor in a big compactor tells the machine to compact all the trash into big squares. When the square gets to a certain size, the machine turns itself off. Then your head-guy-in-charge of the trash pushes the big square away so the machine can make a new one. But if he is asleep or talking to some chick, the garbage builds up in the chute. Then the head-guy-in-charge must climb up in the chute and pull all the trash out. This teaches the head-guy-in-charge to either: A) stop

talking to chicks or B) go get educated. The point is, however, at Longwood the head-guy-in-charge of the trash chute isn't talking to chicks or getting educated, he just isn't paid to move the big squares on weekends. Every weekend the story is the same. Trash builds up higher and higher in the chute, sometimes the chute is backed up all the way to the 4th or 5th floor. This gets very nasty, considering some of the things that Longwoodians throw away. On second floor Frazier, the hatch has broken off, so the trash fills the room. Inevitably, some jerk will come along and open the door and the crap flies out like it was Fred Flintstone's closet. Only it's not bowling balls and golf clubs, it's a slimy grungy mess only comparable to the green stuff from the bed scene in "The Exorcist". Or that stuff that came from the basement in "The Amityville Horror", only not as thick. If somebody dropped fireworks in the trash chute on a weekend, Farmville would witness its first nuclear-type mushroom cloud. This sanitational travesty is a health hazard, and a fire hazard, plus it is gross. Having the head-guy-in-charge push the squares away on weekends would be ten times cheaper than having a whole crew clean the mess on Monday. One end of Longwood runs around trying to catch and crucify the students who ignite, while the other end stacks the wood in perfect piles to be burned.

Talent Search '86 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29 To The Editor: In the January 21st Rotunda, James Caleb is quoted as saying that people who view the return of Halley's Comet as a marketing opportunity have some definite reasons: they are "trying to make a name for themselves . . . (or to) use that for a stepping stone for other products . . . But, I think that most of them are just in for a fast buck. I don't believe people when they tell me that they are not in it for the money or they aren't in it for something. They must have some goal in mind or else they wouldn't be doing it in the first place." I do not know if Mr. Caleb was quoted correctly or if, after some reflection, he would continue to maintain this view. However, I do know that the view attributed to him rests on a confusion and is false. The confusion is between the goal of an action and the person who has that goal. The fact that my actions are mine does not mean or imply that the goal of my actions is me. It is true that a person involved in marketing a product or any other action, if their action is not random, unmotivated behavior, must have some goal or purpose in mind. It is false that a person's purpose must always be to make
money or otherwise advance their own self-interest. For example, someone might admit that smoking is a harmful addiction which does not advance her self-interest, and yet continue to smoke. That such a person may admit this, and yet continue to smoke, does not show that her self-interest was really, at the moment of lighting up, to have a smoke. It shows instead that there is also a difference between immediate pleasure-seeking and long term self-interst. The point that not all human actions are self-interested can be made, and has just been made, without any appeal to examples of altruistic or self-sacrificing actions. There is nothing sentimental, soft-headed, or unrealistic in denying the view attributed to Mr. Caleb, known to philosophers as "psychological egoism." Psychological egoism was first refuted by Joseph Butler in the 18th century, and today is accepted by almost nobody who has considered the matter carefully, whatever its apparent popularity in marketing circles may be.

The following is the fourth in the series of articles extracted from Rotunda issues during the past sixty-five years of publication.
State Board Names College Longwood Wednesday, March 30, 1949 Beginning with the 1949 summer session, this college will be known as longwood College, according to the decision of the State Board of Education at its regular monthly meeting last Friday. This action of the Board marks the fourth time within the past 65 years that the name has been changed. President Dabney S. Lancaster first proposed that the name be changed during the January meeting of the Board. That body agreed to take action on his request in its March meeting and designated its entire membership as a committee to decide upon a new appellation. In making its decision, it was guided by the suggestions and opinions of the students, faculty members, alumnae, and friends of the College. The actual change was
made under authority granted to the Board by the General Assembly in 1938 when it passed an act permitting the colleges at Harrisonburg and Fredericksburg to change their names. This act stated that the Board could change the name of the college at Farmville at a later date in the event that the change was requested. Although "Longwood College" was the favorite choice of what President Lancaster terms a "tremendous majority" of the students, alumnae, and faculty members, there was not complete agreement among the Board members as to the new name. Their final decision was influenced by the fact that the Longwood estate is an integral part of the campus and that it is
one of the better-known Southside homes of historic importance. It is the site of the birthplace of General Joseph E. Johnston of the Confederate army, being originally a colonial grant to the Johnston family from the British crown. Later the property passed into the hands of the Venable family. The present home was the birthplace of Colonel Charles Venable, a member of General E. Lee's staff and for twenty years chairman of the University of Virginia faculty, a position equivalent to the present-day presidency of the University. Commenting on the change, President Lancaster said: "I believe that under the new name the college will go forward to new heights, new attainments, and will serve the State in an ever increasing fashion."
Editor Pushed Out For 'Vulgar' Article NEW YORK, NY (CPS) Pace University officials last week appointed a campus paper editor to replace the one they recently pushed out of office for publishing a "vulgar" article about AIDS in November. Former editor Brian Sookram resigned shortly after controversy arose over publication of the article, the second in a series about acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), the illness which the Centers for Disease Control s| eculates will afflict at least one person on every college campus by the end of the school year. The article referred to anal intercourse — which many doctors believe is responsible for helping spread the disease - in common "street language," administrators charged. In response, a faculty committee voted to hold a "hearing" into Sookram's behavior and to freeze the budget of The Pace Press until a replacement was found.
The administration also seized 3,000 copies of the paper before they could be distributed. "It was not meant to be vulgar," Sookram says. "It was appropriate for the purpose of the series because of the nature of the disease. That sort of language can relate to most people." By freezing the paper's funds, the faculty council effectively stopped The Pace Press from publishing for weeks because there was no money with which to operate, a newspaper staffer says. Sookram resigned before the hearing took place. "I decided to resign to get the paper running again rather than prolong it to the 9th (of December), the date of the hearing," Sookram says. Some other journalists see the affair as a censorship case. "I think it's outrageous," says Paul Ryan, student paper editor at the Pace sister campus in Pleasantville, N.Y. The faculty council "set a very dangerous precedent."
Pace officials did not reply to College Press Service's requests for an interview. Sookram certainly is not the first student editor to ruffle the feathers of faculty and administrators. In November, members of the Wayne State University Publications Board fired the editor of The South End in response to an editorial explaining the editor's decision not to accept military advertising in the paper. Administrators subsequently reinstated the editor's First Amendment rights. In 1983, administrators at Howard University in Washington, D.C., expelled the student editor of the school paper for her coverage of alleged sex discrimination at the university. A district judge in Washington, D.C., however, ordered the editor re-enrolled within a month of her expulsion. In recent years, administrators censored material or restricted

editors at Calvin College and California Polytechnic State University, among other schools. The most notorious incident was at Baylor in 1982, when students editorialized against administrators' threats to expel students who apperared unclothed in an upcoming Playboy magazine feature. In response, Baylor officials cancelled three editors' scholarships. The lone Baylor woman ultimately appeared in Playboy subsequently was awarded her
diploma quietly during a summer session. General campus reaction to the current conflict at Pace has been minimal. Sookram says he's gotten support on "a personal level," but that students "have not acted to fight the administration." Still, he believes the assertion of faculty control over content will intimidate his successors and keep the paper focused on bland, inconsequential issues. "When it (the paper) starts up again, what kind of paper will it be?" Sookram asks.

IN AN UNPRECEDENTED CRACKDOWN on underage drinkers, a Lawrence, Kan., bar owner sued a U. of Kansas student who entered his private club with false identification. The small claims court awarded the bar owner $500 in damages — the amount he was fined by the Kansas Alcohol Beverage Control Board for violating the age requirement. A $3 MILLION LAWSUIT has been filed by a Saint Mary's College nursing student against the U. of Notre Dame. The student was raped last May on the road between the college and university. The suit charges that Notre Dame did not provide adequate security. EXPELLED FOR BEING TOO FAT, a former Salve Regina College nursing student is suing the school for $2 million. In August, administrators sent her a letter saying she could not return for her final year of the nursing program because she had failed to live up to her promise to lose two pounds per week. The student had maintained a grade-pointaverage of 3.6. "INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR" is whit West Virginia U. labeled the incident that led a 17-year-old freshman to charge five of the school's basketball players with sexual assault. Critics, calling for a formal investigation by the Board of Regents and the state legislature, say the school erred in treating the charges as an internal disciplinary matter, and that sexual assault "is automatically a criminal charge that belongs in a court system." The university refuses to reveal the names of the students disciplined or the sanctions imposed. SUBCOMMITTEE APPROVES TYING STUDENT AID TO GRADES: The Sentate Subcommittee on Education has approved a measure to require juniors and seniors to maintain a "C" average to get federal student aid. The measure is part of the Senate version of the Higher Education Act of 1985, which probably won't reach full Senate debate until February. MUSIC MAJORS THINK MUSIC MORE EXCITING THAN SEX: Music majors ranked music, a good movie, natural beauty, art, physical contact with other people, and opera as more thrilling than sex, according to a Stanford U. study published in the December issue of Psychology Today magazine.
BOSTON U. DISPLAYS MARTIN LUTHER KING'S TRANSCRIPTS: BU archivists said they recently found the grade transcripts for King, who got a philosophy doctorate from BU in 1955, while they were transferring past records to microfilm. King, it turns out, never got less than a B. BU will display the transcripts at its library in honor of the new federal holiday celebrating the slain civil rights leader. SURVEY: MOST FACULTY WOULD ADVISE STUDENTS AGAINST TEACHING: Fortyfive percent of the nation's college teachers think this is a bad time to start an academic career, a national survey by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has found. And, in a separate survey by the Educational Testing Service, 51 percent of the teachers from kindergarten through college would "hesitate" before advising a student to choose a teaching career. About a quarter of the nation's teachers, moreover, are "very" or "fairly" likely to leave the teaching profession by 1990, a poll released by Metropolitan Life Insurance over the holidays said. Most teachers — at all levels — say they are disheartened by low salaries, shoddy academic standards, badly-prepared students and limited chances for career advancement. CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK PUTS A THIRD OF ITS STUDENTS ON ACADEMIC PROBATION: Dean Alan Fiellin says the mass disciplining is part of CCNY's effort to raise its academic standards. MOST U. MICHIGAN STUDENTS HAVEN'T HEARD OF APARTHEID: A recent campus poll in Ann Arbor found 51 percent of the students responding hadn't even heard of the South African government's segregationist laws. SAN DIEGO STATE VETOES BANS ON CAMPUS SMOKING, CYCIJNG, SKATEBOARDING: SDSU President Thomas Dayvetoed a University Senate measure that would have banned smoking on most part of campus, reasoning prohibiting smoking in private offices was "too intrusive.' Day also vetoed senate measures restricting bicycles to roadways and completely banning skateboarding on campus, citing technical problems with the proposals.

THE CLASSIFIEDSMANY AG GRADS ARE AVOIDING WORKING ON FARMS: Only about five percent of the students who graduated from U. West Virginia's College of Agriculture from 1975 to 1984 took jobs on farms, Prof. K. D. Mclntosh of WVU's recruiting committee reports. Mclntosh wouldn't blame the farm economy depression for the students' career choices, saying instead the choice of non-farm work was a tribute to how broadly the university prepares its students for all kinds of jobs. OKLAHOMA STATE STUDENTS WANT CLASSROOM CAMERA REMOVED: Student are complaining that tough new anticipating measures — including video taping in lecture rooms and having to state their names in front of the camera before dropping off their tests — invade their privacy and hurt their grades because they increase test anxiety. INSURANCE COMPANIES DROP NORTHWESTERN'S FRATS AND SORORITIES: NU's risk manager could not find any firms willing to sell liability insurance to the greek houses, citing big insurance, claims involving greeks at Texas and the U. of Denver. NCAA MAKES DRUG TESTING MANDATORY FOR SOME ATHLETES: At its annual convention in New Orleans, the National Collegiate Athletic Association voted to require all athletes in the NCAA's 78 championship events to be tested for drugs, starting August 1. U. Michigan Athletic Director Don Canham says the vote effectively means all schools will test all athletes to avoid being "embarrassed" if and when they get to championships. WOMEN DROP SCIENCE BECAUSE OF MARRIAGE CONCERNS, RADCLIFFE STUDY FINDS: Female students tend not to consider science and engineering careers because they believe they're not compatible with marriage and family life, a study by Radcliffe College and the Educational Testing Service has found. The results were "surprising and not a little confusing," says Radcliffe's Norma Ware. NOTES FROM ALL OVER: Students in Bologna, Italy put Sylvester Stallone's Rambo character on mock trial, sentencing him to sensitivity training with Mother Teresa.

Wrestling Stung by three loses in dual match competition last week, Longwood's wrestling team is preparing for a dual meet with Ferrum Tuesday night at home and the third Tiger-Lancer Duals Friday and Saturday at Hampden-Sydney. Coach Steve Nelson's team will seek to end a four-match losing streak when Ferrum visits Tuesday for a 7:00 bout. In addition to Longwood and Hampden-Sydney, Virginia Tech, Virginia Military, Pembroke State, Gallaudet, Newport News Apprentice and Ferrum will take part in the Tiger-lancer Duals. The Lancers have finished second in the team competition the past two years. To have a shot at making it to the finals this season I^ongwood will have to beat Newport News in the first round. The Shipbuilders pinned a 33-28 defeat on Ixmgwood last Tuesday as Pete Whitman, 142-pounds, Billy Howard, 177-pounds, and Jesus Strauss, heavyweight, got wins
for the Lancers. Longwood and Newport News will square-off in first round action Friday. Rounds will begin at 6:00, 7:30 and 9:00 Friday night. The competition will resume at 9:30 Saturday morning and the finals are tentatively scheduled for 2:00 Saturday afternoon. I^ast Saturday the Lancers ran into some rugged competition at Liberty University, falling to the Flames 51-3 and to Division I George Washington 52-3. Ixmgwood's record dropped to 3-5 with the defeats. Howard won a 52 decision at 167 pounds against Liberty and Whitman won by a 63 count at 177 against George Washington to account for the Lancer point totals. Longwood soccer Ail-American Mark McArdle has joined the wrestling team and plans to compete at 118 pounds in matches this week. McArdle wrestled for three years in high school, but will be seeing his first college level action.
Gymnasts Fall iiie Longwood gymnastics team received its top score of the year, but fell short of William & Mary, losing 173.0-164.5 Friday night at Williamsburg. The loss dropped the Lancers to 2-4. One highlight for Longwood was Lisa Zuraw's record breaking 9.05 in vaulting. The score topped Longwood's previous high (Sharon Pillow, 9.0) and placed her second in the meet. Freshman Lynda Chenoweth led the Lancers in All-Around scoring 33.4 and finishing 5th. She also finished 5th on bars (8.3), tied for second on beam (8.4) and turned in the best Longwood score on floor (8.65). Junior Debbe Malin also performed well for Longwood. The junior placed 3rd in vaulting (8.9) and finished 6th t/n bars (8.15) and all-around (32.35). Ixmgwood Head Coach Ruth Budd was pleased with the way her team performed. "Our scores were improved from last week and everyone looked better," said the Longwood coach. "William & Mary has a good gymnastics team and the score

Player Of The Week: Lisa Zuraw Senior Lisa Zuraw broke the existing Longwood vaulting record with a 9.05 score in a gymnastics meet at William & Mary Friday night, and for her performance, Zuraw has been named Longwood College Player of the Week for the period January 19-26. Player of the Week is chosen by the Longwood Sports Information Office. Zuraw's 9.05 beat the 9.0 mark which former Lancer standout Sharon Pillow recorded in 1980 and helped Longwood run up a 164.5, the third highest team score in Longwood history. Zuraw also holds the Longwood record for floor exercise, a 9.4 which she was awarded last year.
"I'm excited for Lisa that she got her best score on vaulting in her senior year," said coach Ruth Budd. "She's a good vaulter. She comes off the horse well and gets good height. She did a handspring with a full twist on the record-breaking vault. Her 9.05 is not far from the maximum for that vault, a 9.4." The record-setting performance landed Zuraw a second place finish in vaulting Friday night. A four-year performer on the Lancer gymnastics team, Zuraw was a State Champion in beam, floor and all-around at Park View High School. She is majoring in business at Longwood. LLSA ZURAW
