Snack Opening Postponed Friday, September 20 is the date set for the rescheduled grandopening of the Lance Cafe/Recreation Center, although Rick Johnson, Director of ARA Dining Services, seems doubtful of its completion by this time. The newest part of the facility, where the old bookstore used to be, has already been completed. The delays seem to be in getting the old snack bar area in shape, while awaiting the arrival of updated kitchen equipment lack of available labor also seems to be a major consideration in the opening's deadline was supposed to be opened last year. By the time Lance Cafe is completed, it will have cost around $200,000, says Johnson with the money coming totally from student fees. However, according to Phyllis Mable VP of Student of Affairs, included in tuition. These fees have not been increased to accomodate the new center, but rather have been managed wisely over a period of time. Upon completion, The Lancer Cafe will hold 300 people and is tentatively scheduled to be open 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday thru Thursday and will be open until midnight on weekends. Sundays hours will be 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. The Rec Center will basically have two sections: an eatery and an entertainment center although food and drink will be available on both sides. Johnson hesitates to call the new entertainment section a bar because that carries the idea of liberal drinking - an idea that Longwood is trying to deter. As promised last year, beer will be served to those of age, but mixed drinks will be not be served. Virgin Drinks or Mocktails (mixed drinks without alcohol) will be available for $1.00. A 16 oz. glass ol beer will cost only $1.00 and a mug of beer will be 60 cents. Six-

packs will still be sold, but only as carry out - they may not be consumed in the cafe under the guidelines of the ABC License ARA currently holds. ARA will utilize a system of hand stamping that designates drinkers from non-drinkers. Students will be admitted with their Longwood ID and will be permitted to bring as many as two guests, as customary, guests will be the responsbility of their host. In an effort to make the process of distinguishing those that are of legal age to drink from those that aren't, Longwood Colege has come up with a system that involves the new I.D.'s. These individuals who are under aged will find a red dot appearing in the upper left hand corner of their student I.D.'s. Those who are of age will not. Special organizations such as fraternites, sororities and residence halls will not be able to reserve the cafe for special events. The theme behind the student Rec Center is the student, not an organization. It is the to be open to all students at all times," said Phylis Mable.
When the cafe is finally completed, it will house a small dance floor with music being played by the bartender. Future plans for a D.J. booth are currently under consideration.

by Bruce Souza Returning Longwood students will recognize many familiar sights upon resumption of the academic year. The long lines at the book store, the Freshmen who are trying to figure out the difference between West Ruffner and Grainger, and the girl who takes 45 minutes at the salad bar customizing her lettuce. These types of situations are to be expected with a high influx of new students and the general confusion associated with the beginning of the year. As the confusion wanes and people begin to settle in, a latent, and fairly recent manifestation begins to stir in the hearts and guts of many a Longwood scholar. What happened to our cheesy snack bar? Moreover, where's the "Lancer Cafe" that has been promised since I was a young man? My first car always worked until I tried to "fix" it. The example above seems analagous to the snack bar situation. It seems that three months should have been enough time to finish the project, considering half was already finished at the end of last semester. Haven't most of us heard the sardonic warnings of doing a "halfass" job? Now we have one half completely renovated and the other half in shambles. The scenario is hauntingly reminicent of the way the old bookstore looked at the beginning of last year. Will it take another year for the snack bar/Lancer Cafe to open? Perhaps we are witnessing the beginning of a tradition, and should appreciate its historical significance. Recently an informed insider told me that the snack bar would open on October 1. Yet another delay! What happened to opening in August? Do the construction workers of the greater Farmville area hibernate during the summer?
Perhaps we are funneling snack bar funds to the Contras in Nicaragua? Or do we need Congressional approval? Oh, and by the way, isn't it just a little unnerving to walk by everyday and never see a soul in there working. So why the delays? First it was plans being re-drawn. Other reasons cited included the time and tedious nature of complying with state law in reference to processing bids from contractors. Unfortunately, this past lip service has worn thin. The same frustrated remarks are heard from students as they parade past the snack bar debacle. I would have thought the administration involved would have seen to a certain August opening date. It would have provided a comfortable on campus lounge, boosted morale for returning students, and impressed new ones. Perhaps, it is a low priority. I guess eveybody just got too involved bureaucratizing the new alcohol guidelines or making posters for the highly popular Y.A.C. Center. Maybe the guys who were supposed to refurbish the snack bar found steady work fixing the old Red Lion? There really must be some embarrassed administrators at Longwood, considering all the promises and subsequent delays. The February 5, 1985, Rotunda article "Campus Pub Likely To Open In The Fall" is an ugly reminder and epitomizes the failure of the adminstration on this project. History shows us that Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon quickly became accountable to an angry public. I wonder who's accountable at Longwood? Maybe this is what "Living Fully" is all about? Nevertheless, I'm still hoping that my first beer at the new snack bar won't be purchased as an alumnus.

My Page Well, The Rotunda is back on your favorite newsstands once again. This year's first issue is three weeks late because the newspaper was handed over... nah, punted over to me in a state of financial chaos. With the 1985-1986 Editorship, I received a debt from last year estimated at about $4,000.00 (I say estimated because the bills keep rolling in, some in the mail and some through the window with rocks). In addition, I must make up for the 'Special-Super-DuperGraduation-Extravaganza-Issue'. The super duper thing about this issue was that for the first time ever, ads were paid for in advance. What a concept! Only the issue was never published. Whoops! So some of the advertisements you see this year will be printed free of charge, out of the goodness of my heart (and mankind's inherent fear of lawyers). In all fairness, I must say that Jeff Abernathy was a great leader, a tireless worker and a talented writer. I can only dream of putting out such a quality paper with as much consistency as Abernathy did last year. But for Godssake don't let that man get near a checkbook! I mean this guy thinks a ledger is someone who climbs to risky places to get a better view of the Greatful Dead show. Anyhow, The Rotunda is back on its own fiscal feet; it could not have been done without the trust and assistance given to me by Christine Harbour and Phillis Mable.
Help Stop Drinking Games Drinking games are naughty. You know it, I know it. Drinking games make you destroy dorms, kill each other and/or have sex. Not to mention miss classes. The Rotunda is honored to be the only student newspaper at the only college in the world to ban drinking games (Liberty University is a church, not a college). We are in the forefront of an advancing society and I like it. As a public service in support of the new Longwood policy of "No drinking games," The Rotunda will have a life-size piggy bank set up in the New Smoker every Friday morning. All students will be asked to bring all of their quarters to this location for safe-keeping over the weekend. No quarters no drinking games, right? Well, that's exactly what I was thinking. All quarters will be tagged for identification and may be picked up on Monday at the same location. In addition, The Rotunda will no longer accept advertising from local businesses which give change in anything larger than a dime on weekends. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

This assistance was not without some strings attached. I mean, check out some of the things we have to do this year: •We may no longer pay for things with cash. •We are not permitted any more $400.00 Christmas parties. •The Rotunda can no longer buy groceries for the Editor or finance a phone in his apartment. •You know those little stub things that hold the checks in your checkbook? Well, they're telling me that I gotta fill them out everytime I write a check. Geez! •And you know those little white pieces of paper the cashier hands you when you buy something (Harbour calls them receipts, I thought they were coupons or business cards), I gotta save them. I guess they're recyclable or something No matter, now I can get back to the business of running a newspaper. With all of the help Phyllis Mable has given me, I sincerely hope that my inevitable fun-poking at the Administation is not interpretted as a slap in the face; they are certainly are not intended to be. It is my job. Plus I like to do it. The Administration often asks for abuse. Sometimes they beg. Have you seen the new, improved Longwood College alcohol policy? I mean, really, these guys are writing my jokes for me. . .

Extra Curricular Activities Help A r± r^l L Participation in extracurricular activities is the second most important clue in identifying potential managers, says an AT&T study. The undergraduate major was the most important predictor with humanities or social science majors ranking highest in managerial skills. Other predictors - grades or the quality of the institution attended — were less important. The study said grades are useful as a measure of intellectual ability and high work standards but do not relate to most other managerial characteristics. And attending a "high quality" insitution is likewise no sign on its own of managerial success, although it might once have been. "Attending high quality schools has become associated with motivational and personality characteristics that cannot be considered favorable for managers," the study says. The study combined the findings of several surveys conducted over a period of 20 years involving both AT&T employes and others.

CPS -- Students entering the job market this year are increasingly likely to face a new hurdle: drug test. Companies that for the past few years have tested their employees for drug use are now making students who apply for jobs take the same tests, campus job centers around the country report. "It's just starting to surface, in part because more firms seem to be willing to admit they do it," says Robert Riegle, assistant director of placement services at Wayne State University and athor of a recent article on the subject. Riegle learned of the practice last summer, when a student received a letter from an employer notifying him that a job offer was being withdrawn. The letter didn't say why, but in person they told him they detected marijuana through the use of urinalysis," Reigel says. Reigle says the tests can detect marijuana use up to three weeks after consumption. Moveover, he says companies don't alwys tell students they're taking drug tests. Representatives of firms contacted by College Press Service say they do tell job applicants the tests' purpose. They say positive results do not automatically disqualify job applicants. "Keeping the workplace safe is an increasing concern," explains Robert McKee, Atlantic Richfield Company health department director, "particularly given that the use of drugs is becoming so prevalent." ARCO, based in Los Angeles, plans to begin giving drug tests to

applicants later this month, he says. McKee acknowledges the test detects marijuana up to 21 days after use, jeopardizing someone who can smoke the drug on a weekend, for example, without hurting Monday's performance because the drug's psychoactive effects have worn off long before. That is why ARCO officials are being told to use the test only as a guideline, he says. ARCO adopted the test policy in part because it operates several facilities that use hazardous materials. But white-collar firms also are turning increasingly to drug tests. IBM officials, for example, began requiring drug tests for all job applicants late last year. "We feel a paramount responsibility to ensure the safety of the workplace for all our employees," IBM spokesman Tom Mattia says. Problems with excessive drug use by IBM employees in several departments have caused problems, Mattia says. He declined, however, to pro-| vide examples of safety-related| problems among white-colla workers. IBM job applicants get the op portunity to explain positive dru test results, Mattia says. Other firms, such as General Motors, allow administrators at local plants to ask job applicant: to take drug tests. GM's local option drug policy has been in ef feet since the early 1970s. At the Adolph Coors Co brewery in Golden, Colo., jobap plicants take polygraph exam during which they are asked among other things, whether the have abused drugs or alcohol. Officials at the firms using dru tests declined to reveal figures o the rate at which job applicant test positive for drug use. Reigel says students who lear they will be tested for drug use ca also find ways to beat the tests. Beyond that, he is trying to conj vince employers the tests are d limited value. "There is the potential for peoj pie to lose employment unfairly, 1 Riegle says. "You can't tell witl these tests, for example, whethej a person smoked pot while on th job, like you can with alcohc tests." Occasional marijuana us should not disqualify a persoi from employment, Rieg maintains. "If businesses started firirfl everyone who used pot, they! lose a lot more people than thej expect." he asserts.

Ford Player Of Week Senior Tim Ford helped Longwood gets its soccer season started with a bang Sunday afternoon, scoring two goals as the Lancers beat Guilford 3-1. For his performance, Ford has been named Longwood College Player Of The Week for the period September 2-9. Player of the Week is chosen by the Longwood Sports Information Office. An All-Eastern Division selection in the Virginia Intercollegiate Soccer Association last season, Ford took up right where he left off last season Sunday. Putting pressure on the defense, Ford scored twice on break-aways, going one-on-one with the Guilford keeper. He probably would have scored a third goad, but was tripped by the goalkeeper. Mark McArdle slammed in the resulting penalty shot to account for the other Lance goal. Ford spent quite a bit of time sprinting toward the Guilford goal Sunday afternoon and he seemed to have an extra burst of speed every time he needed it. "Rich (Posipanko) really got us into shape with our preseason
I work," Ford explained about his ability to out-run the Quakers. "I was just running good and they (LC teamates) just kept kicking the ball out ahead." Ford who transferred to Longwood last year from Bucks Co. (PA) Community College, had 12 goals and six assists for the Co-State Champs in 1984. A graduate of Pennsbury High School, Ford is majoring in business. He was an All-State and All-Region performer at Bucks County.
Sparked by two goals from Tim Ford, the 12th ranked Longwood soccer team beat Gilford College 3-1 Sunday afternoon in what coach Rich Posipanko called his toughest season opener to date. Longwood will take its 1-0 record to Baltimore, Maryland Saturday and Sunday for the Maryland Baltimore County Retriever Tournament. Saturday it's LC vs. Charleston (WV) at 3:00, after UMBC faces Pittsburgh-Johnstown at 1:00. The championship game is set for 2:00 Sunday with a contest for third place at 12 Noon. "We played very well in the first half Sunday," said Posipnko, "We were well-prepared and our depth was a factor in the heat." Posipanko was able to use 18 players in the first half, helping Longwood shake off the effects of 95 degree heat. A break-away goal by Ford and a penalty kick by Mark McArdle gave Longwood a 2-0 lead at the half. Ford scored on another break-away in the second half up to the margin to 3-0. Then Guilford caught the Lancer defenders napping to cut the margin to 3-1. Goalkeeper Rob Liessem came up with several nice saves in the final moments when Guilford frantically tried to catch up. The Quakers had come into the game with a 3-0 record and a 5-0 win over Averett. Each team had 15 shots on goal in the contest and Liessem and Guilford keeper Mark Kramer each came up with five saves. Longwood's next home game is Wednesday, September 18 when Newport News visits. The Lancers are ranked 12th in the ISAAAdidas Div. II preseason poll. Longwood may be without the services of senior Dan Bubnis for several weeks, if not the remainder of the season. Bubnis was injured in practice Thursday, suffering either a sprained ankle or a fracture. The injury was to be diagnosed Mondy.
