Pruitt Captures Miss Longwood Crown By BRUCESOUZA It was sort of like scoring a hat trick. It seemed like the new Miss Longwood, Martha Pruitt a sophomore from Cape Charles, won every category available. Pruitt seemed flabbergasted as she wrapped up Ms. Congenaility, Most Talented, and finally the Ms. longwood title. The pageant was hosted by Jonna Fitzgerald, Miss Texas 1985, who was also 2nd runner up to Miss America 1985. As a hostess she did a far superior job than last year's hostess, although her continuous attempts to perk up an uninspired audience soon became boorish. The evening's entertainment highlights included some extraordinary musicianship by Miss Texas, as she played her fiddle to everyone's delight. Also featured were those veritable little imps from Richmond, The Held Over Sisters. These precocious little pixies had everybody smiling, as they belted out popular tunes both past and present. Miss LoilgWOOd 1985, Kim Kenworthy reminded the crowd why she was chosen last
year by serenading an appreciative audience. The unsung heroes of the show were the members of the Longwood Jazz Ensemble who provided the background music during the swimsuit and evening gown competitions. The contest itself consisted of only 9 entries, as senior entrant Iisa Zuraw was unable to attend. All contestants performed admirably as the talent show featured many singers, a floutist, and two dancers. The swimsuit display seemed to dissappoint many, as some of the contestants filled out the posterior portions of their swimsuits a little too well. All in all it was a decent night's entertainment as long as you're not ardent feminist. The technical aspects of the show went relatively smooth with the exception of a few miscues. Martha Pruitt will go on to represent Longwood at the Miss Virginia pageant to be held later this year. The Rotunda would like to extend its congratulations to first Runer up Carla IiOckhart., second Runner up Susan Reagan, and all the other contestants.

Inside... Minimum Disciplinary Sanctions SGA Update Nostalgia Fall Schedule
Longwood Reorganizes Curriculum College Will Divide Into Three Schools By CATHY G AUGUR AN Longwood College is presently in the process of dividing its curriculum into three separate schools: the School of Education, the School of Arts and Sciences, and the School of Business.
Martha Pruitt adds some last minute touches.
Prior to this reorganization, every department head had to go to the Vice President of Academic Affairs to approve their every move. This is the same system of administration that has been used since well before the high-rises were built, doubling enrollment. tast summer it was realized
that the system must be broken down in order to be more efficient and avoid confusion. The result in these three schools, each of which will be headed by a dean who is also a teacher. They will be in charge of questions concerning curriculum, faculty development, and co-college programs. The dean selection process is now underway, and should be completed sometime in April. The results of this change on the students and faculty will actually be nothing at all, as it is basically a formality. Most
colleges of Longwood's size (15003000 students) are organized into specific schools, according to the enrollment's interests. Course offerings will not be effected as the faculty number and curriculum quality are upgraded. Prospective students have come to expect 'schools' of their major from a college. For example, a future business major would rather enroll in a school of business than in a department of business, putting Longwood "a little bit behind the eight-ball," as Dr. Jacques of the Business department put it.

My Page It was quick and it was sure. Longwood's student-run disciplinary system, the way in which students have been regulating themselves here for years and years, the process that has seen good times and bad and has improved markedly in recent semesters, was destroyed this month in one fell swoop. Sliced and diced, demolished and abolished by Longwood's "Q-tip" administrators (a useful group, unbreakable, with soft heads on both ends, these things become self-defeating, dangerous even, when pushed too far into your ear; although never around for very long, there is always another one in the box. Once again, the Q-tips have acted, the latest administrative travesty is the development of Minimum Saction Guidelines for Disciplinary Cases. A group made up primarily of administrators and faculty members, sat down and tried to think of every rule that could possibly be broken at Longwood. The list covers every violation from using sex to get a better grade to gambling and burning candles, (I can see Stubbs now "Open this door right now, I know you're having a candlelight ceremony in there, you brazen hussies.") For every violation, there is a minimum punishment that must be levied by the judicial and honor boards. There is no room for flexibility, lenience, special considerations. The disciplinary system has been effectively removed from the hands of the students of Longwood. On the bright side, we are all still allowed to decide on our own what clothes we will wear each day and the Board of Visitors has just recently struck down the proposal allowing the Housing Office to arrange marriages. Next on the agenda, the administration will be reevaluating the pros and cons Farmville's Free Market Economy. A judicial board member told me that he "feels like a puppet, we have absolutely no flexibility, I think the whole thing stinks." I submit that the recent surge in student participation as board members will reverse as soon as the members begin to feel the strings being tied to their hands, their feet, their minds. The administration has said that the reason for the mimimum sanctions is the descrepancy between punishments dished out by the boards, the R.E.C.s and the Dean of Students. Students accused of a violation have a choice between an administrative hearing or a
board hearing. The sanctions emerging from these various forums either have been too inconsistent, potentially or actually. I say: so what? This problem is one that faces the U.S. Judicial System too. It is due to the silly American belief that justice prevails before all else, that each individual case is different, and must be decided on its own merits. No legislature or elite group can make assumptions about incidents or situations that have yet to occur. The committee that compiled these minimum sanctions could have devoted their entire careers listing every possible consideration, circumstance and conceivable factor, and the list would still be lacking. Each case must be considered separately, no effort is capable of anticipating even the most clear cut violation. In fact, didn't some Italian sociologist make up one of these lists a couple hundred years ago? Where is he now? Dead, just like his silly minimum sanctions work. The rule at Longwood is for the Dean of Students to review and approve every decision made by the disciplinary boards; in the past the Dean has had no hesitency to overturn both the "verdict" and the sanction. Surely the Dean will not allow improper santions slip by her desk. Why must this minimal student imputbe eliminated? Longwood brouchures sent to high schoolers taut this system as an example of the respect students get while "living fully" at college. The student-run judicial system used to be one of the best things about Longwood. The number of students involved now is very high. The system was getting better slowly but surely until these new minimum sanctions have changed the entire basis for student decision-making. Judicial Board Member: "I will not obey these minimum sanctions, they will have to fire me before I go against what I believe is right." I urge all disciplinary board members to toss these sanctions in the trash where they belong. The authors of this document do not have access to the facts and testimony of the cases. Only you have access to the information upon which to base a sanction. Only you can decide on a fair and proper punishment for the various offenses. If the administration forces you to follow the sanctions and ignore your heart, your mind, then save yourself some trouble and quit the damn boards. There are inexpensive computers that perform the simple tasks that board members are now being asked to do. The minimum sanctions have eliminated your usefulness. Your time can be better spent pulling up a couch, watching the tube and chugging a cold one. Your judgement is no longer needed.

Letters To The Editor
ARA Workers Respond
To the Editor: This letter is written in response to last week's article "ARA Police" written by Dina Ezelle and Deborah Shelkey. We'd like to clear up a few misconceptions. The students who serve you as waiters and waitresses have two or more tables to wait on. This means they are very busy running back and forth to bring you your food. Every effort is made to please you. The reason orders are not taken until everyone is seated, is to assure that everyone gets their choice. This is the result of a decision made after complaints that we didn't wait for everyone to be seated. As any employee in any establishment, we have rules we must follow. Yes, waiters and waitresses are often treated rudely. The fact of the matter is that we're your fellow students and friends. There isn't any need to be rude. If you have a problem with one of us, please see one of our supervisors. There are usually two student supervisors at every meal, or you can talk to Doris Cary, Rick Johnson, or fill out one of the blue "response" cards. Your complaints are taken seriously so voice them. Instead of sitting back and talking, do something about it! We all care
about your complaints and every effort will be made to improve the problem. Sections of the dining hall are closed off near closing time. This is so we can have one side of the dining hall clean to make sure we get done before our next classes, etc. Doesn't it make sense to have the few people that come in late eat on one side rather than scattered all over? We can't spend the whole day in the dining hall, and this system enables us to get our work done and see to our other commitments on time. We make sure there are always enough accommodations. In closing, we'd like to add that we are not monsters trying to ruin your meal. We are here for you but we need your cooperation. Please help us by cleaning up after yourselves and treat us as you'd like to be treated — with common courtesy and respect. We're only human, therefore we are capable of mistakes but we do work hard to make the dining hall a better place to eat in. We'd also like to take this opportunity to cordially invite Dina Ezelle and Deborah Shelkey to work in the dining hall to see our point of view before they form bad opinions of us.

"Bay Shore To Predge Your Wok" To The Editor: I would like to know why Ixmgwood College hires so many foreigners or professors with accents which the students cannot understand? This semester this problem has been brought to my attention because fifty percent of my professors fill either one or both of these stipulations. I am finding it hard to understand one of these professors in particular because she talks incoherently and does not explain material so that the average student can comprehend. When one asks her a question, she has not mastered the English language enough to understand your question, let alone answer it. I would like for the administration to sit in on her class to see if they could solve a problem after she had inadequately explained the proper method to solve the problem. I question not only her credentials but also her competence to teach. Take for
instance, the other day we had a test with very few problems on it and she gave us a problem that could not be done and did not catch her error until fifteen minutes was left during regular class time. I have maintained a 3.0+ average since my second semester here so it is not my stupidity that prevents me from learning the material dictated by incompetent foreign professors. One could advise me to register for classes taught by true Americans but in two cases these foreigners are the only professors that "try to teach" these particular classes and in the other instance it was a choice between two foreigners. I encourage the administration to answer my question of why hire foreigners that do not deserve the pay check we provide when they do not perform their job of educating us. Name withheld until grade received!

The SGA Is Rolling My Fellow Students, I would like to take this opportunity to communicate some information that I feel is important to you as a student at Longwood, a "State of the Association" address if you will. The upcoming elections on April 17 will be the one of the most important elections in a long time. We will be voting not only on new class officers and honor-judicial board members, but also on a new visitation policy and the amendments to the SGA Constitution. Deb Anas and the Residence Hall Life Board nave been hard at work all semester formulating a new visitation policy for the student body, I will return to Longwood in May to present the proposal to the Board of Visitors. If passed by the Board, it will take effect next semester. We have also been working this semester on a much needed revision of the SGA Constitution. I will not attempt to list all of the changes here, but let me summarize them by saying that we have basicallv abolished the Executive Council and reorganized the executive powers under a more realistic Student Senate. There have also been some developments in the state legislature that will be of interest to you. The General Assembly has approved revenue bond projects which include 5 million dollars for the greek housing project, 1.3 million for the renovation of Cox and Wheeler into efficiency apartments, and 1.1 million for the acquisition of additional parking areas. Also in the project is money for the replacement of bathroom plumbing, fixtures and tiles in Cox, Wheeler, Stubbs, and South Cunningham. We have many more plans for the rest of the semester and next year, all of which are at a stage where we need your input to help us make the best decisions for all of us. I urge you all to come out to Student Government meetings and exercise your voice. Meetings are held every Thursday at 6:00 in the Conference Center of Lankford. John C. Colangelo SGA President

Dear Mr. Editor, This last Monday I had the misfortune to visit your Longwood Campus while driving an automobile. In most cities, towns, and even college campuses a car is not considered a liability (we will not consider New York City) but when I arrived on your spacious campus I quickly began to note a serious lack of space for guests. Is it that guests are not welcome here? Is the administration embarrassed of something that they'don't want outsiders to see? Low admission standards are hard to see from the road anyway! I quite frankly was upset but not near as upset as the next morning when I hiked back to my car only to discover a ticket on it. I guess that guests have to be out by 8:30 in the morning! Tell me Mr. Editor, does your administration handle everything with such brilliance? Are all problems handled with efficiency, some how I doubt it. Mark B.Holland

Is Letters To The Editor Dear Editor, There are some of us on the Longwood campus who have recently discovered an appalling situation centered in our newlyacquired television rooms. Some 1 are taking their dates over to the Lankford Building for a presumed night of watching the "telly", and turning our precious television rooms into makeout headquarters for the unimaginative. Now why can't these people find some other place for their "courting' and spar kin' " instead of taking up a whole couch and a whole television room? It would be fine for couples to gather, several in a room, but they should be willing to share the room with the dateless and not demand privacy for their own concerns. Those TV rooms were built for the enjoyment of all, not just a few, and they were equipped with televisions and furniture for the comfort of all.

"PI Guy" Tommy Johnson Dear Editor, As seniors looking back over four years at Longwood, we have seen many beneficial changes take place, both social and academic. One of the most favorable of these has been that concerning class attendance, but we feel that there is still room for improvement. Under the present system each professor makes his own regulations regarding attendance in his classes, but it doesn't take one long to realize that it is most often those jprofessors' lectures are uninteresting, of little worth, andor impertinent to tahe course that allow few or no "cuts" at
all. It would seem that a system of unlimited cuts in all classes (with the possible exception of performance classes) would serve to keep both students and professors "on their toes," for then the instructor would have to make his lectures either so interesting that the student would not want to "cut" (and this is not unusual even now with some of
our faculty) or so valuable to the student generally and to the course material that the student would feel that she could not "cut" (this, too, is found among courses). An unlimited "cut" system would be a challenge to all and would bring greater academic satisfaction to the students of Longwood. We would like to ask the students, faculty, and administration: Why don't we take another look at this situation? Sarah Wright Ginny Daughtrey Carolyn A. Prillaman ShepBlue Susan Tarrant

Advanced Scuba Spring Breaks In Bahamas By NELSON BORDEAU Everyone in our advanced scuba class anticipated the Bahamas to be a perfect paradise, and it was. The first night of our adventure brought us to the island of Bimini. Bimini is a very small island; you could walk around its perimeter in about fifteen minutes. The island itself was once a coral reef which resembled hardened lava rock with deposits of sand and shells scattered amongst its surface. targe leafy palm trees, provided shade to make the sun's intense heat a little more bearable, protruded all over the island. In the middle of Bimini lies one dusty dirt road. On the roadside there were small gift shops and plenty of places to get a cool, intoxicating beverage. Early the next morning our class left the island and headed for our first dive site! When we arrived for the dive, the captain informed us we would observe a sixty foot tug boat which had wrecked there last year. Dive partners were paired up and splashed in one after the other. Under the crystal blue water laid the rusty framework of the boat about thirty yards away. The

Housing Office Opinion: The No Pet Policy Out Of Closet
By ROBIN MEEK Remember your first few weeks as a college freshman, the feelings of being homesick, of missing your family and friends, but most of all your pet? A pet can be a best friend and a security blanket when facing the new challenging world of college. Why doesn't Longwood College allow pets other than fish and why do they exclude the carnivore family? When I say pets, I do not mean horses or St. Bernards — just easy to handle, house raised dogs and cats. The R.E.C. of the Collonades gave me the following reasons for not allowing pets in the residence halls: fleas, allergies of the other students, and the problem of confinement. Last year Longwood had to purchase approximately two hundred new mattress and boxsprings because of flea infestation. The exact cause of the flea problem could not be proved as the result of a house raised animal, but it was suspected, according to Rick Weibl, Director of Housing. If a pet's owner is confined to the room with his pet, wouldn't he
invest in methods of preventing fleas for the pet's comfort as well as his own? I recently read a letter submitted to Ann lenders that stated it is actually better for a cat to keep him confined in your house instead of letting him run loose out doors. When the animal is outside he has a better chance of picking up various diseases and insects. Granted one dorm room is not exactly adequate room for a pet to run and play in, but think of the constant love and attention you and your roommate can give the animal. I feel the only substantial argument the housing office has regarding the no pet policy is for the occupant who is to inhabit your room after you and your pet leave, if he or she suffers from allergies. This can easily be solved by designating a hall to be used, year after year, for the sole purpose of pets and their owners. Shouldn't someone get a special interest form raised for a hall that would allow pets? Another gripe Rick Weibl of the Housing Office has was that
3 WEEKS UNTIL
come the end of the second semester when the students are packing up to go home they tend to leave their pets on campus. Mr. Weibl approximated that last May there were between twenty to twenty-five cats left wondering around campus. It could not be proved that all of these animals belonged to the students, but, nevertheless, homes had to be found for all of the felines. If a student has the pet with him all year he should have become very attached to it and should not just discard the animal at the end of the school year. In high school, certain rights and privileges were denied to us because a select few would abuse the rules. This is college, and we are supposed to be adults and should be treated accordingly. Why not let those of us who want the responsibility of maintaining a pet have the opportunity to prove that we are adults in a way other than just b> our ages. We should not let the crusade for a hall for pets and their owners turn out like the twenty-three hour visitation rights.
Create cleanness. Alitterbit at a time.
Following last year's Room Selection Process, the Housing Office sent an evaluation of the process to 200 randomly selected resident students asking them their thoughts and opinions about the process. The results of that evaluation have been used to improve this year's Room Selection process. Several improvements that returning students can look for this year relate primarily to a desire for more information about the process being available. Therefore, the Housing Office intends to make better use of posters and the ROTUNDA. After improvement will be the offering of two ROOMMATE SEARCH SOCIAUS. Given the success of last year's effort, it was decided that two socials would allow for those persons needing to fill their room-suite or seeking to find a roommate to have a greater opportunity to locate one another.

otifjini AUAJUVUIM,
One thing that has not changed is the effort on the part of the Housing Office to make the process as simple and hassle free as possible. For the second year, the Housing Office will be offering rising seniors the opportunity to live off campus. The Senior lottery will be implemented as a part of the Room Selection Process and will be used to permit up to fifty resident students who have earned and are attempting enough credit hours (90) to be considered seniors next fall. All resident students who were eligible received specific information via campus mail. The Housing Office will notify the fifty residents released from the residency requirement prior to room selection so that they will not compete with other residents selecting rooms. If they are unable to find a place to live off campus, they may still be housed where space is available. ARA Dining will also be providing meal plan options for off campus students as it has done in the past. The Board of Visitors have authorized the use of a lottery as a means of dealing with an anticipated housing "crunch." Next year as the result of the closing of South Cunningham for spring semester and a greater number of new students desiring to attend Ixmgwood it is believed we cannot accommodate everyone in the halls.
Taken To The Limit The lower dining hall was taken to the limit with the LIMIT on Friday night. Sun had organized the buying of beer in a different fashion this mixer. Tickets could be bought at two different locations in the mixer. It seemed to work much better carding the students once they were in the mixer. The LIMIT played both pop and new wave music. AXP served beer to all patrons for 75 cents a cup. Both negative and positive comments were made on the price of beer. If you have any suggestions or comments about the mixer or any SVN events — I urge you to come forward and give your suggestions.

Book Review: Clan Of The Cave Bears By CHARISSE McGILL The Clan of the Cave Bears is a group of men, women, and children who live in a cave about the time Homo-Sapiens began. According to Victor Barnoiw who wrote An Introduction to Anthropology, the Clan were Neanderthal Men. The Neanderthal Man had a thick skull, low brow bridges, heavy chinless jaws and teeth, and facial protrusions. The skull often had a low elevation. The Neanderthal skulls were often very long, and broadened out behind the ears. They often had broad noses, large eye sockets and a forward projecting upper jaw. The mouth was very broad, and the neck was thick and heavy with muscles. The leg bones were bowed, but the Neanderthal stood upright. The men had barrel liked chest and powerful arms and legs. The women had breasts and had a menstral cycle like the woman of today. The Neanderthal man stood about five feet tall and the woman about four feet nine inches. Neanderthals did not have the
vocal capacities of humans today, but made limited sounds and hand gestures to constitute a language. Evidence shows Neanderthals hunted and used fire. They were the first to bury their dead. Sometimes graves were dug in the back of the cave and the bodies were put into the fetal position. The book, Clan of the Cave Bears, begins with the Clan searching for a new cave. An earthquake has destroyed their home. A human girl of five years old is also stranded by the earthquake. When the girl tries to find food and shelter, she is attacked by a cave lion, who wounds her but does not kill her. The clan stumbles upon the little girl in their search for a new cave. The Clan's medicine woman treats the girl and begs to bring her along on the journey. The Clan is weary, because it is against their tradition to allow anyone but clan to be amongst them. Since the girl was hurt the leader agreed to bring her along.
When the girl gets better, she finds the Clan a cave to live in. The Clan is weary of her but accepts her because she led them to a place where they could hunt and live in safety. The girl lives with the Clan and learns the ways of the Clan. She becomes one of them even though she is different. She becomes the daughter of the medicine woman, and as she is accepted more and more she becomes a medicine woman herself. Clan of the Cave Bears deals with emotions such as fear, love, hatred, and jealousy. This book shows how two different stages of human beings live together and the joys and problems they face. It portrays the beginning of Man and how the world may have been before the dawn of the Homo Sapien. To read Clan of the Cave Bears is to see the beginning of the world, and how other humans may have survived in it. I would suggest Clan of the Cave Bears as enjoyable reading for anyone with a vivid imagination.
The tour group will enjoy magnificent scenery along the Rhine River, in the Rhinegau vineyards, the Vogelsberg Mountains, and the thousandforest of (year-old Rhinehardswald; outstanding examples of Gothic architecture, including the Cologne Cathedral, the University of Marburg, the Town Hall of Goettingen, and the 13th-century St. Elisabeth Church; and visits to castles, fortresses, inns and taverns that date from the 12th century. The cost of the tour is $1,695, plus $160 tuition fee. Included are round-trip air fare (New York to Brussels and return), land transportation, continental breakfast daily plus 10 dinners, accommodations in first or superior class tourist hotels, entrance and guide fees, lectures and performances. For complete information on the Fairy Tale Festival Tour, write or call the Office of Continuing Studies, Ixmgwood College, Farmville, VA 23901, telephone (804) 392-9256.

Longwood Offers Tour To Germany Among the opportunities Ix)ngwood College is offering during the summer of 1986 is the 'Fair Tale Festival Tour," a twoweek visit to the Hesse and Weser areas in central Germany where the Brothers Grimm collected folk tales, myths, and legends and wrote them down as Grimms' Fairy Tales. The tour is scheduled for August 6-20 and will be directed by Dr. Mary Stuart Woodburn, associate professor of education at Ixmgwood. The tour will be of particular benefit to educators who work with children, Dr. Woodburn said, but also is designed "for families to enjoy together." Academic credit is available, and expenses are tax deductible if the tour is used to maintain or improve professional skills. The itinerary in Germany includes Frankfurt, Marburg, Kassel, Hamelin, Bremen, and numerous villages and hamlets. Visits to special exhibits, fairytale castles and theme parks, museums, local festivals, marketplaces, inns, lectures and performances are among highlights of the tour.

A PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICER ordered anti-Adolfo Calero slogans painted on a Duke U. bridge to be blotted out before the Nicaraguan contra leader, scheduled to speak there, arrived. The director of public safety says, "We should not be concerned about political signs . . . somebody in public safety made a mistake and I'm not real happy about it." ILLEGAL BICYCLISTS could cost the U. of Arizona as much as $100 million in federal aid if a veteran wins a lawsuit concerning violations of Federal Handicap Regulations. A lack of bicycle regulations has allowed students to lock their bikes to handicap rails and in front of doors. The president of the UA Veternans Club — a handicapped person — says he will sue if UA does not regulate the bikes. A BILL TO PHOHIBIT HAZING by student organizations died recently in a Indiana legislative committee. The committee chair says hazing is already covered under a state "recklessness" statue, but the Indiana U. dean of students says that "Whatever is avialable is not being used for hazing." A FILM entitled "Football Fever Strikes Again," shown to hall and fraternity residents at Northwestern U., surprised its audience and prompted housing officials to toss penalty flags. The movie's sponsor, Campus Crusade for Christ, told hall officials that the film was full of football highlights and would be a good warmup for the Super Bowl — but failed to mention the film's religious overtones. "They didn't lie to us," says one official. "They just presented it to us completely wrong." THE FLOOR SHIRTS, designed for the residents of a Michigan State U. hall, are eliciting mixed feelings from the men who are supposed to wear them. The front of the shirts say, "We draw the line at ugly women," while the back of the shirts bear a drawing of a "pig lady" with a red line running through it. "This is a college," one resident says. "You expect more maturity." STUDENTS LIKE THE IDEA of seeing syllabi before enrolling for courses, according to a survey by the U. of Oklahoma student government. The survey also found that students are evenly divided on the question of a plus and minus grading system, and overwhelmingly prefer cans over cups for their soft drinks. A $4 MILLION BUDGET makes the U. of Florida student government one of the richest in
the nation for schools of comparable size. The U. of Michigan's student government controls $2 million, Florida State U.'s $1.7 million, and the U. of California-Berkeley's $900,000. I-ongwood's SGA has a budget of $1000. A PETITION calling for a recall election for the U. of Hawaii student government president was submitted to the student senate with twice the number of required signatures. The petition charges the president with Tunning an "unethical and illegal" campaign, using student funds to hire an assistant and to pay for a dinner for himself and two guests, and failing to fulfill campaign promises. UNIVERSITY OFFICIAL at Northern Illinois U. are tampering with financial figures to make it appear as though the student government's operation of the Student Food Service is losing money, according to charges made by the student government president. The president says NIU wants to turn the food services over to a private contractor. "We know what their game is," he says, "and they're going to have to start playing fair." "DEBBIE DOES DALLAS" was shown by a student group at the U. of Illinois as a protest against the student government's efforts to ban pornographic films from campus. The X-rated film attracted more viewers than all six shows of each of the other three movies ("Footloose," "French Connection" and "Raiders of the Ust Ark"( on campus that weekend. THE ROTC BUILDING WAS "BOMBED" with confetti and flowers when more than 30 U. of California-Santa Barbara students engaged in a mock war game to make an anti-military statement. "What is this, the '60s.'" asked an angry ROTC administrative assistant. "SAFE" (Straights Against Faggots Everywhere) is a student group organized at the U. of Delaware to stop the funding of the school's Gay and I-esbian Student Union. Meanwhile, students at Utah State U. formed the Heterosexual Alliance to "discourage publicity about homosexuality." USU also has a Gay and Lesbian Alliance. MYSTERIOUS GRAFFITI ARTISTS have students at the U. of Wisconsin baffled. The graffiti - a circled letter J — has been appearing on campus building, desks and blackboards, but no one seems to know its origin or meaning. (Continued on Page 10)

Intramural Update Softball Takes Tough Opener The fine line between winning and losing in any sport often hinges on defense, and such has been the case for Long wood's women's softball team thus far in the season. The I^ady lancers got off to an 0-6 start last week, despite out-hitting opponents in several games.
3:00. Ixmgwood's top hitters so far are Gough (.368), Tina Hall with a .333 average, three doubles and two triples, Dailey (.333) and Jill Everett, .316. The Lady Lancers have a respectable team batting average of .272. Tuesday against Virginia Wesleyan, Longwood totaled eight hits in the opener to three for the Marlins but came out on the short end of 5-2 contest. Five errors hurt the Lady Lancers. Hitting leaders were Julie Biscoe, Lois Kinch and Hall with a pair of safeties each.
Walks have also played a role in I/>ngwood's slow start. Lady Lancer pitchers have issued 44 free passes in the first six games. In Saturday's first-game, 13-8 loss to a strong Lock Haven team, Ix>ngwood had 10 hits to the visitors' five, but six Lady Lancer errors negated the hitting Longwood took a 3-0 lead in the advantage. Mary Dailey had three hits and Penny Gough two nightcap, but Wesleyan rallied with an eight-run third inning, for IiOngwood in the opener. and took the victory 12-5. It was all Ix>ck Haven in the In last Monday's season opener nightcap as the Pennsylvania Longwood out-hit Vermont 7-6 but team took a 9-1 win. committed five errors, helping This week Longwood will seek the visitors take a 6-2 win.

Golf Team Takes Second Despite a medalist 78 from newcomer Richard Hardy Longwood's men's golf team finished second behind HampdenSydney Friday in a three-team match at Longwood Golf Course. The Lancers, who are playing in the Elon College Tournament Monday and Tuesday, totaled a 337 to finish six strokes behind Hampden-Sydney's 331. Virginia Wesleyan was third at 370. In addition to Hardy's nineover-par 78, longwood got an 82 from Ty Bordner an 86 from Mark Marshall, 91 from Kevin Hare, 92 from Chris Gray, and 99 from Jeff Ramey. Joe Bernat shot an 85 for Longwood, playing as an individual. "We did not play very well," said coach Steve Nelson. "Neither Bordner or Marshall are playing up to their potential right now. It's still early in the season, however. We have the potential to be a good team. Next Monday the Lancers will play in a four-team match in Lexington, VA with VMI, Washington & Lee and Bridgewater, before hosting Hampden-Sydney and Newport News April 2.
CO NEWS (Continued from Page 8) THE PI KAPPA ALPHA fraternity was kicked off the San Diego State U. campus for at least five years for its role in an alleged gang rape of a freshman sorority pledge at a party. Thirty of the chapter's 110 members also face administrative charges which could lead to expulsion. Meanwhile, the fraternity suspened two of its own members for recording a "rape hotline" message on a telephone answering machine. The message told callers to "arrange" a rape by leaving "your name, number, age and time you would like yours to occur . . .Group discounts available." PROFESSORS WOULD BE [PROHIBITED from profiting from tost books sales at their own universities if a bill now before the Arizona legislature becomes law. Student complaints prompted an Arizona congressman to introduce the bill requiring professors to turn over text royalties at their own school to the university. The Arizona Board of Regents is opposing the bill. STUDENT ACTIVISTS are speaking out against a proposal to incorporate a county ordinance prohibiting sleeping or camping on private property into the U. of California-Santa Barbara campus regulations. The students say the rule would infringe on constitutional rights to free speech and freedom of assembly. Annual events such as a rugby tournament, dog show and frisbee competition would also be affected.

TUESDAY. MARCH 25, 1986
Player Of Week Lancer third baseman Marty Ford came up with a defensive gem Saturday which would have been good enough to make the WTBS late-night sports show as "The Play of the Day." For that play plus an outstanding week, Ford has been named Longwood College Player of the Week for the period March 16-23. Player of the Week is chosen by the Longwood sports information office. In the fourth inning of Saturday's opener with Mount St. Mary's Longwood held a 3-0 lead. The Mount had runners at second and third with one out when the next batter ripped a line drive that had "hit" written all over it. Ford dived to his right and speared the smash before doubling up the runner at second base to end the inning. The I -iruvrs went on to win the game 7-0 and sweep the doubleheader. "That was the greatest play I've ever seen in college baseball," said Lancer coach Buddy Bolding. "You won't see a ball hit any harder than that. It would have been a great play if Marty had just knocked it down. He really picked us up and took them (The Mount) out of a
MARTY FORD potential big inning." In five Longwood victories last week Ford hit .450, getting nine hits in 20 at-bats. He had four doubles, a triple and a homer with eight RBI's and 10 runs as well. He also stole six bases in six attempts. Hitting .367 for the season with seven doubles, Ford ranks second for the Lancers in RBI's with 15 and has scored a team-high 21 runs. A three-year starter, he is a graduate of Patchogue-Medford High School.
Gymnasts Close Out Season
Baseball Wins 5; Tough Schedule Ahead Boosted by five wins in a row, Longwood's baseball team enters a six-game stretch against three teams which figure to be in the hunt for a spot in the South Atlantic Regional playoffs. The Lancers host Maryland Baltimore County for two Tuesday at 1:00, St. Augustine's Wednesday in a 1:00 twin bill and visit always tough Norfolk State Saturday for two games. The UMBC doubleheader has been scheduled for Thursday but was moved to Tuesday. The Retrievers and Norfolk took two from Longwood near the end of the 1985 season, snuffing out the Lancers' playoff hopes. If Longwood continues to hit the ball at a .380 clip as it did last week, the rest of the season should be a success.
