Longwood Students Study Abroad Some Longwood College students did something last summer other than work a temporary job or acquire a tan. Several went to a bullfight and the famous Prado art museum in Madrid, others visited the Black Forest in Germany, and one picnicked in France's cave region and toured the Louvre in Paris. Eight students took part in a four-week program at the University of Madrid in Spain. Two others studied at the Goethe Institute in West Germany for eight weeks. Another studied at the University of Toulouse in France for about a month. The study-abroad programs, which focus on language and culture, are part of I>ongwood's emphasis on international awareness. "Everybody should go to a foreign country at least once," said Laurie McManaway, a senior from Bedford who went to Madrid. "You'll learn to appreciate this country even more, because we're so fortunate here." Students at the University of Madrid, among them sophomore Rick Osborn of Farmville, took two courses, which included language, art at the Prado, and international public relations. They also went to a bullfight in which a matador was hurled into the air, toured the Prado — which has works by Picasso, Goya and El Greco — and went to villages in southern Spain. In Granada, they saw the Alhambra, a famous 14th-century Moorish palace. Spaniards are a friendly, sociable people who like to go to discotheques and bars in the evening, but public drunkenness is almost unheard of, the students say. "They're carefree," said Susan Alonso, a junior from Miami. "Whatever happens tomorrow, happens tomorrow. They care only about today. They're not ruled by the clock like we are. They might go out partying and get only three hours' sleep before having to go to work the next day."
One cultural difference is that Spanish women almost never wear shorts or jeans. "That's why I stuck out like a sore thumb; I was wearing jeans," said Alonso, whose grandparents were native Spaniards and whose

parents immigrated to the U.S. from Cuba. "In Spain, even if you're poor, you dress well." When she wore shorts one day, McManaway was scolded by an elderly Spanish woman who considered her "very immoral." Oddly, though, topless sunbathing is commonplace. "At an apartment pool one day, only myself and another American were wearing tops," McManaway said. "We were stared at because we were different. We felt weird." Dr. Maria Silveira, a Longwood Spanish professor, has taught at the University of Madrid the past two years and is one of the program's directors. Her brother-in-law, Dr. Jorge Silveira, who teaches at Hampden-Sydney College, also

Craig Hardy, a senior from friendly and eager to please," said Hruby, a senior from Ellicott Midlothian, studied at the City, Md. "I went horseback University of Toulouse, located in riding, saw a jumping a city of 900,000 in southern competition and watched the France. IiOngwood is one of three World Cup soccer final (West American colleges that has an Germany lost to Argentina) in a exchange agreement with the German home...The local wine University. "Toulouse is kind of like the was excellent, because Staufen is (American) South," said Hardy, in a wine-growing region." one of only five students in his While the Madrid students stayed at a dormitory with other class. "People are friendly and American students, Hruby was open and hospitable. They have lodged in a German home with an less exposure to Americans than international flavor.

Valley, which is famous for its
caves that contain prehistoric artwork. He spent three days in Paris, went to Lyon to meet a pen pal he had corresponded with for four years, and visited a family in Montargis he stayed with during a trip to France in 1982. All but one of the students are fluent in their chosen foreign language and they were pleased with their ability to communicate. There were some minor problems, though. Debbie Jessup, a senior from Richmond, said the taxicab drivers in Madrid were difficult to understand because they use a lot of slang. Osborn has some trouble shopping for clothes because all the measurements are in metric. "One day I was shopping for a sweater and I couldn't remember the verb for to put on,'" he recalled. "I used the wrong verb — 'to take out,' or something like that. Eventually, the saleslady understood what I was trying to say and corrected me." Osborn missed American food. "Spanish food has a lot of garlic and we got sick of French fries, which they served us every day. I ate at McDonald's two or three times. They also have a Burger King, a Wendy's and a pizza parlor in Madrid." Patty Fishback, a senior from Lovingston who went to Madrid, speaks little Spanish but picked some up. "It comes to you, because you hear it all the time," she said. "I tried to communicate in Spanish — and that helped." By going to a foreign country, said Osborn, "you definitely catch an ear for the language. Even if you don't improve your speech, you improve your comprehension." McManaway credits the international public relations course she took with giving her a new perspective. "You learn not to judge other cultures, you learn to understand other cultures. The first week there, I went through culture shock. I made the mistake of judging their culture. It was kind of bumpy at first, but I had a wonderful time.*'

The Rotunda
A Word From
Greenwood Honored
The New Editor First of all, I would like to express how excited I am to be the new editor of the Rotunda. I hope to innovate many new ideas into the paper that will satisfy the needs of the students, faculty and administration of the college. Next, I want toxexplain a simple principle of life: Things do not change, unless you make them change. The administration and faculty can't read the minds of the students, nor can the students read their minds. Surveys are not another way to add to your pile of monotonous work. Ms. Mable and her staff do not make up these things as a new form of cruel and unusual punishment. It isn't to keep you from soap operas or partying. If a complaint or suggestion isn't heard, nothing can be done about it. An example of this is the dining hall service. I have only been here two and a half years, but the dining hall has improved immensely. I was so excited to have chunky blue cheese other than the kind that squirts out like ketchup. These changes occurred because students voiced their opinions. If you don't like family style, tell them. If you do like family style, tell them. Last week Sheri Nunn, Longwood's nutritionist and lower dining hall manager, came to the Ambassador meeting and spoke on nutrition. She asked for suggestions about the dining hall, and she got them. Maybe all the suggestions won't materialize (I don't think Bob Smith will get his sushi bar), but maybe some will. Janet Greenwood holds open forums concerning different issues to receive input from everyone. Only a handful of students show up to voice their opinions, and this does not represent the school. S.G.A. is another vice. Meetings are held every Thursday night at 6:00 p.m. at Lankford in the Leadership Conference Room. Remember, the students elected the members of S.G.A. Writing editorials to the Rotunda is another way to voice views for everyone. If you don't like something, say so, and maybe it will change. If you do like something, say so, and it might stay. Kim Setzer
The Department of Psychology hosted a reception for Dr." Greenwood to celebrate its first year as an independent department. Dr. Greenwood, whose background is in psychology, was made an honorary member of the Psychology Club. Michelle Massie, club treasurer, presented her with a Psych Club T-shirt with the slogan "Hug a psychology student, we're conditioned to respond."

CAMPUS NOTES Delta's Honored By JEFF ALLGOR This past weekend Skip Winchester, Jamie Faison, John Dennis, Jeff Allgor and Bob Smith from the Zeta Mu Chapter of Delta Sigma Phi attended the East Coast Leadership conference at N.C. State in Raleigh, N.C. The conference included a chartering of a new colony and seminars on issues such as legal liabilities and antihazing. At the awards banquet, I>ongwood's Greek Man of the Year for 1986, Bob Smith, was awarded Delta Sigma Phi's Outstanding Active of the Year. This award is given to only two brothers across the country out of all current actives (12,000). Bob also was honored with an Order of the Sphinx Medallion for service to his college and his fraternity. The Zeta Mu chapter announced that they will host the Spring Conclave here at lx)ngwood College. Delta's from all over the east coast will attend this gala weekend event. The Deltas expect approximately 300 brothers to participate in this leadership Retreat.
Silberman Photographs and mixed media works by Rebecca Silberman are featured in the Showcase Gallery (1st floor hallway, Bedford) through Dec. 12. Ms. Silberman completed requirements for the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, cum laude, from Longwood this past summer. She is now taking advanced courses in French at the College and plans to begin graduate school next fall to pursue the Master of Fine Arts degree in painting. Her exhibit includes more than 30 recent works, many of which are for sale.
Math Winners Ty Bordner and Kevin Spencer were the winners of two math contests sponsored recently by the Mathematics and Computer Science department. Bordner, a math major from Herndon, won the contest for
students in calculus and above, which was the higher-level contest. He received a check for $75. Kevin Spencer, an elementary education major from Lexington, Ky., won the contest for the level below calculus. He also took home a $75 check. The two contests, held Nov. 6, drew 28 participants and were designed to generate interest in mathematics. They featured challenging problems posed by math professors. A similar contest was held last spring. In the contest won by Bordner, Philip Sprinkle was second, Grace Vanhouten was third and Jennifer Swann was fourth. In the other contest, Allen Fountain and Pat Holland tied for second, Mary Dickerson was fourth, Vicki Francis was fifth and Matt Morgan was sixth.
Concert Choir longwood College's Camerata Singers and Concert Choir will give their traditional Candlelight Concert on Tuesday evening, December 9, at 8 o'clock in Farmville Baptist Church. The program will feature sacred music of the season. The Concert Choir will sing "Carol of the Bells," "Gloria in Excelsis Deo," "The Virgin's Slumber Song," and others. The Camerata Singers' program includes "What Is This Lovely Fragrance?" three pieces by William Mathias, "Coventry Carol," and others. The concert will conclude with a choir and audience carol sing. Dr. L.E. Egbert directs the Camerata Singers, a SATB chorus of Longwood's premier vocalists. The Concert Choir is directed by Chris Pace, a I-ongwood alumnus who is an adjunct faculty member in the music program. The Candlelight Concert is open to the public at no charge.

On His Toes By Mama Bunger Through an exchange-grant program, Dr. Nelson Neal and his family recently spent time teaching at Jyvaskyla University, Finland. Neal, who has been Longwood's Dance Company Director for the past four years, was in Finland January 28-August 28 teaching modern dance, dance choreography and dance in education. Mrs. Marna Neal taught conversational English to sophomores while their 10-yearold daughter attended the Normal School. Jyvaskyla University has the only physical education major in the nation. Dr. Neal found the university students were hard workers. They were more skilled in dance because they were P.E. majors; unlike Longwood's dance classes which have various majors fulfilling general education requirements. The current members of the Dance Company are Kelly Shannon, President, Sandi Dovel, Amy Harrell, Kim O'Conner, Kim Cecil and Taddy Espigh. New members include Allison Cole, Alison Miller and Susan Hanks. Next semester Tammy Tipton will take over as Dance Company Director. She plans to hold tryouts January 19-21 from 3:30-5 p.m. in the dance studio. All interested males and females should watch for upcoming information on the Company. After finishing at Jyvaskyla, Dr. Neal spent 12 weeks at the Normal School teaching 2nd-6th graders modern dance. He also taught four dance workshops for kids in another small city. After finishing teaching, the Neal family spent the last two and one-half months sightseeing in 14 European countries before returning to Longwood.

Longwood Football? By MICHELLE HUMMER longwood Football 10-0. You have seen the bumper stickers and, of course, the Longwood Football jerseys. It's a big joke, Ix)ngwood vs. UCLA, home, be there! It takes a lot more than stickers and t-shirts to make a football team, though. In order to form a football team, Ix>ngwood must institute a five-year plan for athletes. The plan is being considered by the Intercollegiate Athletic Committee which began reviewing the college's athletic program last spring. Since the addition of men to the campus in 1976, however, the subject of football has not even been formally discussed as a possibility. The plan is being considered more for the existing sports at Ixmgwood. Along with the five-year plan, IiOngwood needs a stadium, not to mention a place to put one. The
soccer field could be transformed into a multi-purpose stadium, but parking would be a major problem. Longwood has limited parking already. Finally, in order to get a football team at Longwood off the ground, a mere 2 million dollars must be raised through private gifts and increased student fees. With only 2,789 students, a football program will increase tuition by more than 700 dollars. If, by some small miracle, we do get the funds, stadium, and the approval for a football team it will take a number of years to get a full schedule of games. The college's size and location limit it to Division II and Division III. If a Division II team, Longwood will offer football scholarships, requiring more funds. Most likely, the team will be Division III, offering no scholarships, but traveling great distances for games. Most Division III teams in Virginia are in conferences
and are locked into schedules for up to five years. So as a Division III team, Longwood will play teams from nearby states. In the end, scheduling could be the biggest headache. The decision to create a football team at Longwood College will come only after a careful study of the value of such a major step. As you see, the sides are about even: Pros + positive effect on enrollment + increased school spirit + profit from home games Cons -f- increased tuition + parking problems 4- loss from home games At this point, the fate of Longwood College Football is in the students' hands. It will take much work, money, and time, but in the end, the addition of football could put liOngwood College on the map.

T'was the night before Break And all through the college, Every student was stirring, At least to my knowledge. All the rooms were set up in Holiday cheer, In hopes that the decorations would bring Christmas more near. The books were stacked up under everyone's beds And visions of real sleep and food danced in their heads. When suddenly there arose such a noise, Every girl ran to the window to see if there were HampdenSydney boys, They opened the windows — and what should appear? But 20 hungry Deltas coming too near. • My God, my hair!", all the girls screamed in fright. And they ran to the mirrors to see their sight, While the Deltas just stood there singing in line Wondering just what the girls had in mind. Not a word said the girls, but they went straight to work. They flew back to the windows and decided not to flirt! They closed the windows and pulled down the shades, But even with this action The Deltas were not phased. Together they went and ascended the stairs And came face to face with the girls' glares. The girls cried, "We want respect, more than a one night stand. We want conversations not just the feel of your hand! " So out with you boys, out with you all Dash away, dash away, dash away all!" Dumfounded the boys left, (they decided not to fight) They went back to their rooms Alone for the night. And as they walked the girls heard them cry, "Gee, Longwood girls have feelings too, And not just nice thighs!" From Tina, Dining Hall Employee

Chenowith Paces Gymnasts By RICK RIVERA The Longwood gymnastics team traveled to Radford Saturday to participate in a trimeet along with the Highlanders and William & Mary. The lancers placed third, but coach Ruth Budd expected the outcome under the circumstances. Being Division I schools, Radford and William and Mary were able to compete under different rules. For the two Division I colleges the competition was basically a scrimmage. Radford and William & Mary were able to enter all their gymnasts and then choose the top six scorers to represent them. Longwood, on the other hand, had to designate six representatives beforehand. The I^ancers top scorer was Lynda Chenoweth with an allaround score of 32.75 for seventh place out of 14. Chenoweth placed third on the beam with 8.6 and was Longwood's highest finisher on bars with an 8.05. Kiersten Artese had a good showing, capturing fourth on the vault with an 8.55 and was the lancers' top floor gymnast with a 7.95. The judges, as a rule, were not very generous on floor exercise. Overall, coach Budd felt that it was an excellent opportunity for the I^ancers to see exactly how much work they must do.
Ixmgwood women's golf coach. Dr. Barbara Smith, left Friday for Japan and the 12th NCAAsponsored United States-Japan golf competition. Dr. Smith will be coaching the U.S. team of Florida's Page Dunlap, New Mexico's Caroline Keggi and Kentucky's Kate Rogerson. The U.S. contingent, which also includes a men's team coached by Wake Forest's Jesse Haddock, arrived in Japan
Sunday. After two days of practice, the teams will engage in match play against their Japanese opponents for three days and return to the United States December 14. Dr. Smith is the first coach of a non-Division I team to be chosen to lead the U.S. Women's group in the competition. She is recognized as one of the top women's golf coaches in the country.

"Coach of the Year Longwood soccer coach Rich Posipanko has been voted Virginia Intercollegiate Soccer Association "Coach of the Year" for the second time in his career. The honor was voted by the VISA coaches. Posipanko, who led Longwood to its third state title in five years this fall, has an outstanding 88-4118 record in eight years with the
Lancers. He guided LC to a 13-5-2 mark and a 14th place national ranking in Division II. Longwood upset Christopher-Newport 2-1 in the VISA title game November 19. Also picked as VISA'S top coach in 1982, Posipanko led Ixmgwood to state titles in 1982 and 1984 when the Lancers tied with Mary Washington for the
crown. He was also named MidAtlantic Division II Coach of the Year in 1982. A native of Levittown, PA, and a graduate of Slippery Rock University, Posipanko had coached several All-Americans and numerous All-Region and All-State players over the years.
