Longwood College Chemical Research Has Potential Space Applications Chemical research underway at Longwood College has potential application for space and aviation uses. The research also enables chemistry students to get "real, hands-on lab experience" in three areas — polymers, crystals, and organic chemicals from pine trees. "NASA, for example, is interested in the development of polymers that will not melt but will remain flexible and strong at high temperatures," said Dr. Patrick Barber, director of Longwood's chemistry program. "We're trying to achieve that," he said. Polymers are compounds with high molecular weights. Some polymers — like cellulose, DNA, and proteins — are made naturally in biological processes. Others — like nylon, plexiglass, and polyurethane — are synthetically made. The polymer work being done by Longwood chemists is funded in part by a grant from NASA. Dr. Barber, along with Dr. Maurice Maxwell, Leonard Klein, and chemistry studerts, are working in cooperation v ith NASA scientists at the Langley Research Center. "Our work here at Longwood breaks ground for NASA," said Greg Chiles, a senior chemistry major. "Their chemists will take it one step further and determine if our polymers have potential for their purposes." The recent acquisition of seven state-of-the-art instruments is "a tremendous boon to the research," Chiles said. "Our ability to determine how a polymer is shaped and structured has increased at least a thousand percent with the new instruments." The new instruments, valued at more than $100,000, were funded as part of the million-dollar-plus appropriation by the 1984 General Assembly for renovation and modernization of Longwood's science facilities. There are various ways to create polymers. In Dr. Maxwell's research, he is using an unusual organic acid as the basic starting material. That
Jimmy Coleman and Dr. Patrick Barber discuss analysis results in their research project. acid chloride is combined with other compounds to form the polymers. Subsequent steps in the process include filtering, rinsing, drying, and crystallizing the polymer. Then a number of tests are performed, to determine relative molecular weight, the temperature at which the material is no longer flexible, and its melting point. The Longwood professors and students have been doing polymer research for several years. "At this point, we're trying to improve the materials we've already made," said Jimmy Coleman, a senior. "We're trying to get the molecular weights up and to pull out more of the solvent." In another part of the research, Leonard Klein and his team are investigating the structure of polymers and how other compounds can be hooked to them. Crystal growth and structure research is being conducted by Dr. Barber and his student associates. They are "growing" lead tin telluride crystals which could be used to measure infrared radiation. "Dr. Barber's project is apparently the only one like it in the world," Coleman said. "The crystals are still growing, but the project seems to be successful." Dr. Robert Lehman and students Donna Donkle and
Tamara Marshall are "evaluating pine foliage as a potential source for naval supplies and fine chemicals." They are extracting resins and other organic chemicals from several species of pine trees that grow in southside Virginia. Their work begins with shredding the pine needles, followed by "a great deal of washing, separating, evaporating, growing crystals, and filtering," Donkle said. Finally, the compounds are analyzed by liquid and gas chromatography. In addition to their immediate findings, the researchers hope that "the gas and liquid chromatographic patterns of these pine needle constituents will provide data for future investigations." The student researchers work one-on-one with their professors during each phase of the projects. "The professors tell us what needs to be done next. We have to learn how to do it and then do it," Chiles said. "We're in the lab every afternoon, Monday through Friday, until dinnertime," Donkle said. "This experience is really going to pay off for us. I visited Consolidated Laboratories in Richmond recently. They were impressed because I knew what they were talking about, and I knew how to (Continued from Page 4)
Longwood's Summer Writing Workshop By MELISSA CLARK Longwood will host its first annual Writing Workshop for high school teachers and students this summer. The workshop will be presented in two, two-week sessions from June 15 until July 12. Each session will attempt to help high school teachers and students develop their writing skills under the guidance of the workshop's faculty and guest lecturers. Certain faculty and guest lecturers will be offering special evening lectures that will be open to Longwood students, faculty and the community. Among the lecturers will be the director of the workshop: Billy C. Clark, Writer-in-Residence at
poet; David Halevy, Senior Editor, Time Life Magazine; Charles McCarry, Senior Editor, National Geographic; Karen McManus, Technical Editor, BETAC Corporation, and John Weisman, Editor, T.V. Guide. "The director, Billy C. Clark, is a noted American author of 12 novels and numerous short stories and poems. His writings appear in many high school and college literature books. The Champion of Sourwood Mountain was offered by the Book-of-theMonth Club. His book A Long Row to Hoe is used by a number of universities as a study of Appalachia, and was selected as

No Kidding This Time Barrett "Mick" Baker was recently selected to assume the command of Editor-in-Chief for next year's Rotunda. Although Baker will only be here for one semester, he was chosen over two other candidates because of his previous track record in the field of journalism, having worked for Union Communication Services (a Washington-based Public Relations firm) for the past five years during the summer months, and for his dedicated work with the Rotunda for the past two. "Currently we seem to be having a little trouble with getting money for next year's paper," stated Baker, "butI'm hoping that will all be worked out when the time comes to start putting it all together." Baker, with the suggestion of the Publications Board, will be implementing a new "internshipapprentice" program to teach interested persons the various aspects of what it takes to put a newspaper together — from copy editing to layout; the actual
process of putting the paper in its final form. "We've had somewhat of a staff problem for the past two years," said Baker. "I don't know if people are waiting for a personal invitation or they just don't want to get involved — maybe it's a little of both. Well, if you're waiting for an invitation, here it is: I need help! If you don't want to get involved, that's your perogative. But I can say this: working on the newspaper doesn't necessarily commit you to putting in vasts amounts of time — we really are an informal group and we usually do have a lot of fun with it. The new Editor went on to say that working on the paper doesn't always mean writing articles, either. "We need photographers," he said. "We need people in the dark room; we need all kinds of help — and we're, hopefully, going to be able to do all the training necessary to get these people — and make them good at what they do so jthey can take that skill with them when they leave Longwood."

It wasn't until recently that I reached a point where I could get my mom to admit that it was a good move to transfer to Longwood. True, I left George Mason in favor of the 'wood because this small town college will sell you a diploma even if you don't know a foreign language. (By the way is that 15 dollar diploma fee Greenwood's charge for signing the damn thing, or what? Jeez, Dave Winfield and John Riggins give their autographs away.) When I arrived at Longwood, I found many more reasons to be here. This school is an incredible land of opportunity; the size and personality offers virtually unlimited chances for people to grow academically, socially, and extra curricularly. Students here take for granted the benefits of having faculty members know them by name; extensions, career counseling, recommendations, friendship, after class tutoring: These are all things you would have to wait in line for at a big school, and at the end of the line, behind the desk, would be a stranger. With faculty involvement, Honors programs and independent study a motivated student can find neverending challenges at Longwood. If you don't find them, you're not looking. The social life, with the easy, friendly... well, suffice it to say that even a GEKE can find buddies. Opportunities in the S.G.A. and other student organizations are absolutely without limit. To look at the list of committee positions and offices I've held in Just 2 years is a joke. Somebody might say, "that boy is an over-achiever, a definite born leader-type". Bullcrap! All I did was raise my hand and meekly say, "I'd like to try that position." Surprisingly, there were openings. Three months at Longwood and I was on the President's Student Advisory Committee, students who meet with Greenwood and tell her what we think about Longwood. What the hell could a new student contribute to that group? Not much. In one year I am Editor of the paper. There should be a line at least 3 years long for this position, but in fact the wait is only a few months. Now one of the main reasons for these openings is the general apathy that is circulating this generation and I cannot get a handle on that; but I can now understand the other reason for nobody trying to make Longwood better: no matter what position a student holds, as the situation is today, the student is absolutely and utterly powerless. In my time on the President's Student Advisory Committee, I can honestly say that we did not accomplish one damn thing. Not one little thing; it's all talk. A typical example is: We're all talking about how to improve the usefulness of the Lankford building, Greenwood pulls out the chalkboard and starts drawing additions to Lankford, wings with a new cafeteria, etc. Come on, we can't even get money for a couple new trees around here, what's with the wings? Greenwood's line to students is "5 years from now..." Everything is 5 years away, like the Soviet Union's ; CoiHwu. The b«ei© theory behind tb* 5 yMr thing ia that» percent of all students
here now will be gone in 5 years and won't be around to remember the promises. You know, student leaders or The Rotunda can pin down some of the lower-level administrators and make them look bad, but the ones on top are untouchable. From my conversations with Vice President for Circular Reasoning Phyllis "pat you on the rump and send you home'' Mable over the past couple years: Me: The French Gym is just sitting there, empty, being wasted. The S.G.A. would like to begin working towards a renovation... Mable: "Well I don't know what the situation over there is, but I know nothing can be done anytime soon." Me: "Whaa?"

Me: "Several years ago, the yearbook was given 10,000 dollars to publish, but the staff dissolved and the money was put in a savings bond that matures soon. If this money is given back to publications to buy type-setting stuff, the money would be made back in one year. For example, The Rotunda would save 5.000 to 8,000 dollars the first year. The Virginia, Gyre and Broadsides would also benefit." Mable: "Well, I'm not exactly sure what happened there, but that money will be redistributed to all student groups and you can't have it. A good idea though." Me: "That explains it" Me: (For the third time) "Why did you approve (a vindictive, but look who's talking) Student Activities Fee Committee Budget that didn't give The Rotunda any '86-'87 money and didn't explain why we were fiscally eliminated?" Mable: "You'll get your money, they will arrange it next year.. .if you want to get down to that shitty level, four members of the faculty have been in here saying that The Rotunda is awful and were wondering what they could do about it." Speaking of Rotunda control, at least half of my editorials this year have addressed problems that can only be corrected by the Board of Visitors. Before the Board meets, they ask Greenwood to prepare a report to brief them on certain situations at Longwood: I heard last week that the "information office lady" sends a copy of The Rotunda every week to Board members. I was ecstatic!" "They hear me, they hear me!!" Maybe my ranting will do some good. But what does the Board wish to be briefed on in May? They told Greenwood that "The Rotunda is not something that Longwood can be proud of," They wish to be briefed on what can de done to clean up The Rotunda. Jeez! What about comprehensive fees for student teachers? What about a student member of the Board? Visitation Policy? Or maybe Judicial Board freedom? Didn't they read it?? ? How depressing. If I can find Greenwood this week, I will present her with the list of Supreme Court decisions that slap down any administrative attempt at controlling the student press. But the point is that the Board of Vasectomy skipped the concerns of the students and went right to Cowpie to find bad words. Last semester, somebody told me, "everybody reads The Rotunda, dude, the press is powerful and so are you." Sadly this is not true. Over the past 2 years, I've seen over thirty letters to the editor about parking — everybody rages about parking. Apparently it is the number one problem that students have. This semester, they re-landscaped the front of French and had about 150 sq. yards of dirt to dispose of. What did they do with if They dumped it right in the middle of the parking lot by the tennis courts, thereby eliminating about 50 student parking spots. The student newspaper has no power because the students have no power. We gave it a shot. I think we did a helluva job this year. There were lots of things we wanted to do, but time and the system seemed to run against us. Our goals were set so high that it was impossible to achieve them, and I guess that's the way it should be. Lots of people complained about us this year, but everybody read us. Ninety percent of The Rotunda copy was valid news and information this year but it was the other 10 percent that brought the circulation to 3000 and allowed the real stuff to be seen by all.
The purpose of this editorial (is there one?) is certainly not to discourage participation by students in Longwood's political wiffleball. Many other schools have powerful student bodies which come together and successfully make demands on administrations. Longwood could be the same way. If the students just got off their fannies and became a unified group, the powers that be could no longer dismiss student representatives as 'a few kids who'll be gone in a couple years.' I guess this feeling of non-accomplishment is familiar to some others who went from a nobody to thinking you're somebody with power and slowly realizing that you're just another schweenie on the treadmill. Proposing, meeting, voting, arguing, petitioning, tugging on the skirts of the ao^ministration — you're like a tick on their legs, they pick you off, check you for Spotted Fever and flush ya. Would I do it again? Hell yes! I had a great time; got a car out of the deal, stashed away some money for a rainy day and it's getting cloudy already. To those who follow, on this page and in student government, hang in there 'cause someday an issue will arise and the students will stretch their bed sores, pull the wool from their eyes and act like the paying customers they are.

THE ROTUNDA
Pog. 3
-
Sigma Beta Dicky a Dear Rotunda, It has come to my attention that a new fraternity-sorority has been introduced to Longwood. No I'm not talking about TKE. I'm referring to Ric Weibl's new organization which has been wreaking havoc on all of the Greek organization's halls on campus. Think of Ric Weibl as being Pledge Master and being high and mighty; or so he seems to be trying to prove. Ric Weibl said that he is not to be doublecrossed because he is the big guy, the college, and we are not in charge around here, and that inevitably the big guy wins. He says that we must come to him with proposals. Pledging is a game. I knew that drawing a lottery number made housing selection almost a thrill. But why do the Greeks have to play Ric Weibl's pledging game. Ric has the power to giveth and to taketh away your room. If you don't play the game you lose your room and get randomly beamed somewhere else on campus. I had to do lots of stuff I didn't want to
when I was a pledge. Mr. Weibl seems to enjoy making students sweat it out. Power is wonderful. Anyway here are the rules to the game. To enter, you must not pay your deposit before deadline or you have to forget to pick up your white card from housing. Once entering you are told that you are bad, irresponsible, and out of luck. Next you are told what you should have done. Lastly you are told of a vague plan to get yourself out of the mess. Now comes the hazing. As if everybody isn't busy enough this time of year, you are asked to come up with a suitable means of punishment for yourself; or whoever is responsible. This is to be a reminder to prevent any future irresponsibility. The more absurd the better the punishment. I'm not sure if someone has said they'll write 1000 times "I will be responsible" but I'm sure it would be suitable punishment. I'm sorry but how much sillier can it get? Sincerely, I.M. Amused

When I first heard that I was to be the new Editor of the Rotunda, my first thought was to get on everybody's good side so that we could get as much done to improve the paper and student participation on it with as much cooperation from the faculty and administration ?s possible, not to mention the student body itself. Well, it looks like that's not going to happen. Therefore, I'm not even going to try to be nice. I don't know how you feel personally, but I feel like I've been pushed around, and in some cases, even lied to, since the day I got here. Consequently, I've been pushed to the limit and no longer wish to be pushed any further. The circumstances behind this lie in an editorial written by my predecessor, Frank Raio, who found the need to slap a certain John Pastino on the wrist for over stepping his boundaries in the power department — an editorial that I can't say I would have written but, consequently approved of. Well guess what? The issue isn't dead yet, and to make matters worse, you and I have been drawn into it. That was the straw that broke that camel's back! It appears that Mr. Pastino got a little mad about certain accusations written by Mr. Raio and subsequently, being the
>
And Saunders Dear Editor: I have a couple of things to mention as I have been saving up for this grand opportunity for quite some time. For lack of a good starting point, I'll start at the end, my most recent complaint. Let me begin by asking a question; Do students have rights? The Judicial Board says Yes; Sue Saunders says Yes; Barb Gorski says Yes; they all say read your Handbook and Statement of Student Rights available in Barb's office. But wait, someone forgot to tell Phyllis Mable. Or maybe they just don't apply to me? Oh well, I was guilty anyway, so what the hell. My second grievance is with you, Mr. Raio (sorry Frank, but you asked for it). Actually it's your repeated attacks on the Minimum Sanctions Committee that I have a problem with, namely because I was on the committee. I would just like to let it be known that the committee was not in total agreement on
A Letter From Next Year's Editor chairman of the student activities funds, decided to stab back at Mr. Raio by eliminating the Rotunda from the Student Activity's budget. In other words, the Rotunda is getting absolutely no money for operations next year. That's right — ZERO! Why? Because we didn't have a staff — a move that did not hit its original target of Mr. Raio but instead wounded me quite effectively. However, this wound is not fatal due to the fact that if Mr. Pastino or his gang of Puppet Administrators don't want a student paper next year, then so be it — it's really no skin off my nose because if I have to, I'll take the Rotunda underground, with or without staff, and print a smaller version that could contain items of embarrassemnt to certain parties. Issues that the student body need to know but are being kept from — lack of funding does not take away my Constitutional rights or yours to freedom of the press. On the other hand, I would think that you, the students of Longwood, would be a little tired of these administrative cat and mouse games to show where the power of this college really lies and might find some interest in fighting to maintain the Rotunda in its present form. The fact still remains however, that we do have a very

these things, and thus not all "pin-heads," but hey that's democracy for you. My next complaint is with censorship (A favorite Frank?) It seems that while the Rotunda can correctly print whatever it pleases, the average student who attempts to invoke his first amendment rights (whose essence is applied to the states through the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment — how's that Dave) through flyers and posters which are continually barred by the minority conscious, moral invoking Dean of Students Office (sorry Sue, but I still love you) with its extremely prejudiced use of the famed "approval" stamp. Well sir, while I could go on forever (o.k. guys throw the flag, a little exaggeration) my typist is about to go AWOL — which by the the way reminds me of the Military Science Department, but I'll save that one for later. J.D. Fitzhugh
Thanks To Fraternities Editor, The Rotunda: I would like to thank 2 fraternities at Longwood for their recent service provided. First, the Sigma Phi Epsilon, thanks for filling the holes and putting up new strings at the basketball court on Main St. which is primarily used by our community kids and I secondly would like to thank the brothers of Omega Psi Phi, who number in few (2) but serves the community very well. Recently they held a clothes drive collecting clothes for the needy of the community. So to Eric and Mike, keep up the work and to the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity, again thanks and keep serving our community in such a manner. Chuckie Reid Asst. Recreation Mgr. Longwood College

small staff for next year's operation — if this issue ever gets resolved. If you'd like to get involved in solving it then, show the people "in charge" that you're tired of being pushed around and you're willing to fight for what is yours. How? Send a letter to the Rotunda, care of box 1133, stating that you would like to be on staff next year. Please include your name, current address, and position that you would like to cover. Currently we need interviewers, writers, advertising staff, photographers, dark room printers, copy editors, and various other positions that still need filling. You do not need any experience as we will be training people in various positions as they start to fill. If you aren't going to be back next year, or you don't care to work with the Rotunda, show your support by sending me a short note (to the same address) voicing your opinion on this subject. Faculty are also encouraged to participate in this as the student newspaper is also meant to be a forum for yourselves as well. Please make responses as long as you like or as short as saying "I don't think it's fair" and sign it. Otherwise, we might not have another chance to do it next year — unless we spray paint it on the administration's walls... B. Baker

Gramm-Rudman Takes Aim
Survey: 1 In 5 Male Collegians Have Cone Smokeless Even as the surgeon general, the American Cancer Society and the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association last week joined in coincidental unision to call for bans on all advertising for Carolina University professor released a study showing that more than one out of every five male collegians dip or chew tobacco. Still other preliminary data released at the same time indicate that quitting a smokeless tobacco habit may be far more difficult than giving up smoking. In perhaps the most surprising news in a week of surprising smokeless tobacco news, Eastern Carolina Prof. Elbert Glover announced that 22 percent of the nation's male college students either dip or chew tobacco. Glover and three associates asked 5,500 students nationwide about their tobacco habits, also finding that two percent of the females surveyed said they used smokeless tobacco. *In recent years, of course, many schools — Stanford, Maryland, Miami and Pacific Lutheran, among others — have restricted or simply banned smoking in classrooms and other ramnus haunts. Few, however, have bothered to ban smokeless tobacco use. Last week, the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association came close, asking its member schools to ban all tobacco substances during games and practices. At the same time, the American Cancer Society, meeting in Daytona Beach, endorsed a resolution to ban all cigarette and smokeless tobacco ads, especially those directed at young people. The group wants to extend a new ban on smokeless tobacco advertising on electronic media to print media, too. In a speech to the same group, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop released a report finding that long-time smokeless tobacco users are 50 times more likely to get cheek or gum cancer than nonusers. "I am very alarmed at the high rate" of student use of the am i

substances, exclaims Molly Laflin of Bowling Green State University. Laflin, who assisted Glover in the nationwide survey, adds dipping tobacco is far more popular than chewing it. Smokeless tobacco has become popular on campus, she believes, because commercials suggest it is safe, an impression further promoted by the number of seemingly healthy athletes who use it. "You look at the World Series, and you see the players doing it," Laflin says. One reason may be that they can't stop. In a separate study, Glover attempted to get 41 students at an unnamed Christian college to quit smokeless tobacco. "They certainly had incentive to quit," he adds, because the school threatened to expel them if they failed. Glover found their withdrawal symptoms were similar to smokers', "but more intense." None could quit. Only one student managed to go more than four hours without dipping or chewing, and he used nicotine gum, Glover reports. The same quit-tobacco course has a 38 percent success rate among smokers. In his nationwide study of students' smokeless consumption, Glover found that 23 percent of the smokers who started puffing before they were 10 were still smoking in college. But 61 percent of those who began using smokeless tobacco before they were 10 years old were still addicted by the time they got to college. One reason smokeless tobacco may be so addictive is the continuous consumption of it by its users, Laflin speculates, adding dippers often put a pinch under their lip before going to sleep. Glover and his cohorts also found campus use of smokeless tobacco varied by region. The rate was highest — 28 percent — among men at southwestern campuses. A relatively low 15 percent of the men at northeastern colleges chewed or dipped, the nation's lowest rate. Delta Sigma PI would like to thank ARA for supplying the utensils, cookware, and Ingredients free-of-charge to the contestants In the Chill Cook-off.

At 1987 Student Aid On December 12,1985, President Reagan signed Into law what has since become a household word — the Gramm-RndmanHollings Act Gramm-Rudman (as we will refer to it) is a balanced budget measure whose chief sponsors were Senators Phil Gramm (R-TX), Warren B. Rodman (R-NH) and Ernest F. Hollings (DSC). Under this Act an automatic deficit reduction procedure will be imposed through fiscal year 1991. Gramm-Rudman has already tone into effect for 1986 and will cut 11.7 billion dollars. 50 percent of these cuts will come from defense and 50 percent from nondefense areas. The financial aid office staff at Longwood Is concerned about the impact Gramm-Rudman wul have on student aid dolkrs; however we are also concerned about the possibility of the wbUcltysiiiToundingGrainm-^^ Kd funds. We URGE all student, who would otherwtoe file for financial assistance to do so regardless of the Gramm-Rudman Act. At this time it is uncertain which financial aid programs will be affected or the dollar amount at any particular Institution. It is predicted that Virginia's Institutions should be able to absorb the first round of budget reductions. If an automatic reduction is again reauired hirtier education programs could be cut an estimated 15$43.2 million. Since Gramm-Rudman will directly affect college students in needofaid funds, you need to let your congressman know how important student aid is to yon, communicate to them that without this aid voumay you may not be able to finish your education, and thank them for their support. And above all, file for the aid dollars that are still available to you.

That record was broken by Melanie I^ee, who shot 53 percent from the field this past season. When asked about this, Boska said she was happy for Melanie and that there is no competition for records between her teammates. "If someone performs better than I do then it's better for the team that they are playing," said the junior. She also noted that she always sees room for improvement in her game. Boska learned about Longwood from a friend and probably wouldn't be here now if she hadn't received a scholarship. She says that she is glad to be at Longwood because the pace is much slower here on campus than at home. Her parents have always promoted and supported their children's interests,
especially in sports. Karen has a brother who has played volleyball for Virginia Tech and two sisters who have played basketball for the United States Naval Academy. One sister, Bernadine, was the first female to score 1,000 points at the school. She also played volleyball for USNA. Boska likes Longwood for several reasons besides the slower pace. She likes the pretty campus as well as the size (enrollment of 2,600 students). Boska notes that it is much easier to know more people on a smaller campus. "It's nice to walk around campus and be able to stop and talk to other students," said the junior. Boska stays busy in the offseason by playing basketball with friends, practicing the flute and competing on the Longwood Lacrosse team. She took up lacrosse last year as a way to let out some of the same energy she does in basketball. Boska is performing well in lacrosse, just as she does in basketball and everything else she sets out to do.

LANCER SPORTS Rugby Club Continues
Rohm Player Of Week
To Slap Hiney; Hampsters How hot has Longwood hitting sensation Jeff Rohm been recently? So hot, that if he was able to maintain his current pace he would break former Longwood Ail-American Doug Toombs' record for batting average — an unbelievable .565. Rohm, who has established or tied three school records over the past two weeks, has been named Longwood College Player of the Week for the period April 20-27. Player of the Week is chosen by the Ixmgwood sports information office. All Rohm did last week was extend his record consecutive game hitting streak to 12 and tie the lancer mark for homers in a game — two. He also hit .579 with 14 RBI, a doulbe, two triples and four homers in Longwood's first four games of the week. The junior catcher, who also fills the designated hitter spot, leads the team in batting average at .434 and in RBI's with 38. As of April 7 he was hitting .382 with just 16 RBI's. That was before he set another record for consecutive hits, with eight coming in games against Norfolk State and liberty April 12 and 14. Rohm realized a baseball player's dream last Thursday against Hampden-Sydney when he hit for the cycle. He started out with a triple and a homer and then followed with a single and a double. For the day, he was 4-6
with four RBI. He had driven in five runs with two homers and a single the day before in a 15-7 win over William & Mary. Longwood record holder for doubles in a season with 17 last year, Rohm had hit 10 doubles, three triples and six homers heading into the Wake Forest
game Sunday. He needs just one more double to tie the career record for doubles (34). Rohm was an All-State, AllDistrict and All-Region performer at Western By DAVE LARSON Albermarle in 1982. He is Longwood first traveled to majoring in business at Hampden-Sydney last Thursday Longwood. to face their archrivals. With no real big surprise as to the outcome of the game, Longwood crushed the men from H-SC, 42-0. Longwood played their second game of the week away at ODU again for the 5th time in a row the men from Longwood came out on top 19-3. After these two wins under Longwood's belt their record stands at 4 and 1 with only one game left.

Karen Boska Top Athlete And Honor Student By GWEN WALKER Center Karen Boska, a junior from Alexandria, was the third highest scorer for the I-ongwood women's basketball team during the 1985-86 season. The junior is also an outstanding student. What makes the accomplishment so great is the fact that Boska has had a 4.0 grade point average for the past two semesters. Boska, who finished the season with 248 points and 182 rebounds, says the key to her academic success is not waiting until the last minute to do her school work. "I stay on
top of all assignments by using travel time to study instead of sleep. Road trips can be very long, and it would be a waste of time to just sit there looking out the window or sleeping," said Boska. The junior averaged 9.9 points and 7.3 rebounds in the Longwood 25-game schedule. She shot 51.3 percent from the field and 65.1 percent from the charity stripe. Her totals included 30 assists, 17 steals and 8 blocked shots. She is a team-oriented player and feels she has cWtributed leadership,
hustle and team spirit to the I.ongwood program. Head Coach Shirley Duncan states that Karen is totally committed on the court, whether it be in practice or a game. "It's that commitment which has grown into an addiction to academics," said Duncan. Boska is quick to point out though that she does not lock herself into her studies when she's not on the court. "I make sure I have enough time to relax as well as study," said Boska. (Continued on Page 7)
I^ast Thursday the Longwood College Rugby Hub traveled to Hampden-Sydney to defend last semester's 41-0 victory over HSC. Ix)ngwood started right in to what later became a crushing victory. Phillip Casanave started the scoring off with the first try of the game inside the 5-minute mark. After the initial score Longwood didn't let up on the Hampden-Sydney team until a 360 halftime lead. Other scores in the first half were made by: Tom Ganun, 1 try; Dave Rackly, 1 try; Dave Larson, 2 trys and Tracey Kilby, 1 try. The point after conversions were made by Tim Seymour and Dave Grant. After the first half, Longwood decided to pull the majority of their Aside out and put their B-side in to finish the game. Although there wasn't a lot of scoring, except for a try scored by Vann Staton, the B-side played an excellent game. Players from both the A-side and B-side teams played a super game and are congratulated on their performances. The second game of the week was played Saturday at ODU.
The Longwood Club has been looking forward to this game all semester and went down to ODU in the right frame of mind to play. This game was one of the hardest games Longwood has played all year. The men from ODU take Rugby as serious as the men from I.ongwood. However, ODU didn't have what it takes to win, IxHigwood won 19-3. The first half was the best half for I^ongwood scoring 13 pts. The first try was scored by Dave Larson about midway through the half. Tim Seymour followed this with a penalty kick from 25 yds. out. I .arson scored the second try to end the half. The second half was not as fruitful as far as points are concerned for the Longwood Club. The only score was a try by Phillip Casanave off of a beautiful pass from Dave Rackly. This put the score at 19-0. With only a few seconds left on the clock ODU scored a penalty kick. That killed the chances of Longwood's 4th straight shut out. The B-side game was a very hard played game also. The ODU team won a close decision 10-6. Alan Stancil scored the only try with Tim Seymour making the point after conversion. The Longwood team has been playing some of the best Rugby, if not the best ever in the history of Longwood Rugby. In the last five games Longwood has allowed only 9 pts. to be scored on them and has scored a total of 171 pts. The support from the fans al home games as well as awaj games has been a contributing factor to the victories.
