TKE's Gurney It Up
Tau Kappa Epsilon members push gurney, with fellow member Rob Clater on it, in Oktoberfest Parade. Members of Tau Kappa Epsilon, a fraternity colony at Longwood College, pushed a hospital gurney bed 20 miles last Saturday to raise money for the United Way of Prince Edward County. "Everything went fine, everything went as scheduled," said colony president John Pastino. "There were no major problems." The 37 members of TKE took turns pushing the gurney from Cumberland County High School to the Longwood campus. They left Longwood at 3 a.m. and
proceeded from the high school at about 3:45, Pastino said. The trip, most of which was along Route 45, went faster than expected, "There wasn't much traffic until 9 or 9:30, when we got close to town," said Pastino. A van carrying TKE members followed closely behind the walkers. After arriving back in Farmville, the students went to Longwood House, the residence of Longwood President Janet Greenwood, and then returned to the campus at about 10 a.m. TKE members marched in the
Oktoberfest Parade, which began at 12:15, pushing fraternity brother Rob Clater in the gurney. "We found out that it was easier to push with someone on it, because the wheels would vibrate otherwise," said Pastino. Pastino estimates that the project raised about $1,500 for the United Way. Persons pledged so much per mile or just made a contribution. A fraternity colony is a group of male students on its way to becoming a full-fledged fraternity. TKE should gain official status by next spring.

Guest Editorial
"Yeah, Longwood's got the second highest drinking rate in the state," said the sophomore, half proudly. "Well that's a dubious honor of sorts, don't you think?" said I. "What I wanna know is, who's number 1?" asked the new freshman. Indeed, there seems to be much ado about drugs around the country nowadays and with reason enough, but the reputation for drug use at Longwood College appears to be little match against our reputation as a beer drinking capital of the state. Now, however, with the adoption of the state's grandfather clause banning alcohol sales to persons born after July 2, 1966, the college might have to look elsewhere for claims of fame. But to what extent will the victims of the state's new drinking ban accept their fate philosophically? One of the nation's most outspoken advocates of the new drinking ban, Joan Carboy, director of the Washington, D. C. chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving says the law will encourage young people to alter their attitude toward drinking. "I think that in 10 years you'll see a whole different picture. Young people will find they can live without getting drunk." But will the new law make drinking worse, as some believe? Will there be an increase in alcohol-related accidents and deaths? Is it true, as rumored, that many, if not most, students have just simply carried on drinking ("life-as-usual") and it doesn't much matter that the laws have changed? And what about fraternity and sorority parties? As one 19-yearold put it: "We have to be a little more careful; we call it 'being discreet.' We essentially do as we want. It's not so much that everyone knows we are anyway, it's that everyone expects us to. That's why all the partying will just continue as usual." Well, maybe — and maybe not. Local, regional, and state authorities all seem to indicate that personal civil liability can be connected to "social-host" responsibilities. "If people are being served alcohol at a fraternity party and then go out and get in an accident or cause some sort of damage, then the fraternity itself would be wise to prepare for a lawsuit. Particularly should there be any minors involved . . ." said a D. C. educator who is also an attorney. And colleges must also worry about what is referred to as the "deep-pockets" scenario. This is when the plaintiff tries to show
negligence by any and every organization connected to the defendants) thus making them liable also, hoping to get money out of their "deep-pockets" too. A college, if sacked by just 2 or 3 successful lawsuits, can prepare to close its doors. Quite simply, colleges can ill afford to be vulnerable. One Longwood administrator feels that the new drinking ban, "is just one more example of how society teaches young people that they can break the law and get away with it. That is what this will teach. Students will go off campus to drink, as they already are, they will ride around in cars, fake I.D.'s will become a cottage industry." Another administrator feels the dilemma goes farther than that, "the main problem connected to drinking in our society is not one of enforcement but, rather, existential. It is a problem of emptiness, pain, boredom, loneliness, compulsion, addictions, and disconnection. In our culture it is easier to have sex with someone than to get to know them. In such a convoluted society, is it really such a puzzlement why young people would turn to a little liquid courage to get through their everyday life?" Historically, alcohol has not always been misused through time. Beer was the nectar of the greek god Zeus. But, if sales can be used as a modern day indicator, alcohol consumption has become an institution in America. Ma, apple pie, and a Micelob. In matters of individuality and choice there aren't always a lot of right answers. But, as if it's any help, some answers are more right than others. It's enough to make you STOP and THINK: Do you want a drink. Joe McGill, Director Student Services

Faculty Art Exhibit Works by 10 members of Longwood College's art faculty are on exhibit in the college's Bedford Gallery through November 21. Drawings, photographs, paintings, mixed media works, stained glass "windows," ceramics, and a basket are included in the show. The wide diversity in themes, media, and sophisticated techniques makes the exhibit a showcase of the possibilities in contemporary art. Mark Baldridge is showing "Angel Wings," two stained glass windows hung side by side. Baldridge, who is best known for his jewelry creations, has been working with stained glass for several years. This is the first time he has shown stained glass works locally. Barbara Bishop is showing eight photographs, including a series of five studies of Briery Church in Prince Edward County. The artist used Polaroid film and manipulated the emulsion to enhance images and textures. She also is exhibiting a handmade paper, wood and fiber work entitled "Dream Fish." Christy Crews Dunn's two drawings have American Indian themes. She used pen and ink with a frottage technique. Carol Edmonson is showing

one of her large willow baskets and a handmade paper work. Randy Edmonson's contributions to the exhibit are three ceramic "pots" and an acrylic painting. Tray Eppes' two works — a wall hanging and a pot — are of vapor-glazed clay. The striking circular wall piece is aptly titled "Window to Another World." Elisabeth Flynn is showing eight color photographs, including scenes of fiords, mountains, and a village in Norway. Chuck McCarter's two paintings are mixed media on canvas and paper. He uses a technique of color over color, sometimes five or six layers of colors, that produces a gem-like quality. Amie Oliver is showing 10 large graphite and mixed media drawings. Homer Springer's 11 works include drawings in pencil with gold and silver leaf, mixed media collages, and "icon" assemblages that combine leather, wood, fur, tintype, and handmade paper. The Art Faculty Exhibit is open to the public during the following Bedford Gallery hours: 9 a.m. to noon and 2 to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday; 7 to 10 p.m., Monday through Thursday; and 2 to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
ByCATHY GAUGHRAN Longwood's future is being planned right now — today — as we live and breathe on its very campus. "Where? By whom?" you ask. By a series of Strategic Planning and Issues Management Work Groups, I answer. The Board of Visitors has drafted six broad goals to work at while trying to set the directions of Longwood's future. These include (1) student life quality enhancement, (2) development of centers of excellence (for example, the three schools that were singled out last year: education, business and arts), (3) quality of living and learning environments, (4) enrollment management and gradual increases in enrollment, (5) effective and efficient resource management, and (6) increasing support for the college from alumni, the community, etc.
Strategies by which these goals can be achieved are in the process of being developed. Some of the guidelines to be followed in doing so are identification of trends and issues that might effect the college, such as birth rate and fund availability, trying to predict them and deal with them and their consequences, and ranking them in importance to LC. The next step in the process of securing a confident future for the college is to make predictions about the future, to be compared and discussed. Participation of the college body in this project is essential for a full-rounded view of certain aspects of the school. Some student organizations will be involved just by the nature of their responsibilities on campus, such as our Student Government, but any and all students and
faculty are urged to become involved. There are to be eight study groups to review separate areas of importance. These will include groups working on teaching, curriculum and student outcome qualities, quality of student-faculty relations and environments, centers of excellence, admissions-related issues, such as the marketing of the school and its image, why do or don't students stay here and how can students and faculty become involved in this, college involvement in the community and vise-versa, enhancement of private and public support, and resource development. These issue study groups are still in the process of being put together, so now is the perfect time to get involved in them. Anyone interested in being in one of these groups please contact Mr. John King on 3rd floor East Ruffner, or at 392-9397.

SEX "Sex and the Supreme Court" is the topic of the next Faculty Colloquium Lecture at Longwood College. Dr. David S. Calihan, associate professor of government, will give the lecture on Wednesday, November 5, at 7:30 p.m. in Wygal Auditorium. The public is invited to attend at no charge. In his lecture, Calihan says he will explore "recent sex-related caselaw and its progeny," touching on such subjects as prostitution, sterilization, socalled sexual deviance, sexual discrimination, contraception, pregnancy,and pornography. Calihan states that American society "has always had — and seemed to enjoy — an awkward ambivalence about sexual activities, about sexually affected associations, and even about thoughts and discussions of
recreational and occupational sex." He added that "our courts also have been frequent and not altogether consistent contributors to the Sex Wars." A member of Longwood's faculty since 1961, Calihan taught previously at Manchester College and served as a municipal judge in North Manchester, IN. He is a graduate of Earlham College and holds a J.D. degree from the Ohio State University College of Law, a master's degree from Ohio State, and the Ph.D. in political science from Miami (Ohio) University.

attendance at Longwood home basketball games, according to Lancer sports information director Hoke Currie. "We feel that our men's and women's teams play an exciting and entertaining brand of basketball," said Currie. "We wanted to do some things to give more community residents and Longwood students a reason to come to the games. Once they see what Longwood basketball has to offer, we believe they will want to come back. "Many things have come together this year and many people have been working behind the scenes to make the upcoming season a success. I'd like to thank student assistants Rob Clater and Jamie Motley for their work in setting up the promotions schedule over the summer." Longwood marketing professor Burt Brooks and student-interns Sherri Clemmons and Sherry Massey really got the ball rolling last year with a study about college faculty and student awareness of home athletic events. "We learned from the study that many faculty and students were not that aware of home athletic events," said Currie. "We have tried to put into motion many of the recommendations made by Massey and Clemmons designed to increase attendance. "We've tried to broaden the base of our fan support by involving groups from the community as well as the college. We're going to attempt to have something for everyone," he said. Longwood men's and women's basketball teams have attractive home schedules for 1986-87. The Lancers have 15 home contests on tap, while the Lady Lancers have 12 home dates. For more information about Longwood basketball, phone the sports information office (3929391) or the athletic office (3929323).
Recreation 375: Leadership Development Beginning in the spring semester, the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Department will introduce a new course, Recreation 375, "Leadership Development Through Wilderness Pursuits." The course will offer students a unique opportunity to enhance their leadership potential through a variety of outdoor experiences and challenges to personal growth. Although this course emphasizes a specialty area, it produces an element of adventure and excitement to leadership development by using the outdoors as the setting that will benefit and appeal to many types of professional fields and career options. Along with classroom sessions, a large percentage of course time will be spent in the outdoors. Students will learn technical skills (i.e., rappelling, rockclimbing, orienteering, backpacking, initiatives and ropes course activities) in addition to actively participating in a leadership capacity. Through a variety of experiences, situations, and decision making
processes, students begin to develop a leadership style that displays self confidence as well as a commitment to the role. The focus will be on group interaction skills as well as individual competencies as both areas are dependent on each other when successfully leading groups safely into the wild outdoors. No previous experience is necessary upon entering the course. Students who are genuinely interested in this 2 credit credit leadership course are required to be in good academic standing and to participate in an interview process before registering for the course. Any student, faculty, or staff members who have questions regarding the course, may contact Ms. Rena Koesler, Lancer Hall-Rm. 131, or call 3929266. A special slide presentation will be shown on Thursday, November 6, in Bedford Auditorium at 6:30 p.m. This 25 minute slide presentation will provide you with a visual explanation of what you can expect from this unique leadership course.

Sports Wrap Up Volleyball By RICK RIVERA Longwood's lady volleyball team suffered two setbacks at home last Thursday night. The Lady Lancers (12-18) are entering their final week of action with matches at Chowan Monday (6:30), Randolph-Macon Woman's College and Christopher-Newport at home Wednesday (6:00) and at Liberty (6:00) Friday. Thursday's matches proved to be disheartening for coach Linda Elliott and her team. Against Mary Washington the squad had a season high 17 kills, five of which were credited to Teresa Carr. "The team just wanted to win too much," stated Elliott. Inconsistency on the court again spelled disaster for the Lady Lancers. Longwood played excellent in spots and terrible in others as mistakes were made one right after the other. The story was the same in the match with Liberty, which won 15-3,154. Overall, it was perhaps the best hitting night Longwood has enjoyed. Besides the 17 kills, Longwood also got some great shot-blocking from Kris Meyer with five blocks. Stephanie Coukos had another profitable evening hitting the ball extremely well. Elliott praised both Mary Washington and Liberty for having strong and disciplined teams. Consistency on their part made the difference.
Soccer Ixmgwood's soccer team beat Hampden-Sydney Wednesday 10, but fell to nationally ranked Christoper-Newport 3-1 Saturday as the I^ancer record moved to 10-5-1 for the season. Coach Rich Posipanko's squad, ranked 15th last week in Division II, is just one win away from clinching second place in the Virginia Intercollegiate Soccer Association Eastern Division and a berth in the VISA playoffs. The Lancers visit Averett Wednesday at 3:00 and host rival Randolph-Macon Saturday at 2:00. A win in either game will give Ixmgwood a playoff berth. Three out of four spots in the VISA Playoffs have already been determined. In the Western Division (4-0-1, 8-5-2) is in first place while Lynchburg (2-1-2,133-3) has nailed down second place. Christopher-Newport (5-0-
JOHN ANDERSON 0,17-3-0) is the Eastern Division champ and will play the Hornets in the first round of the playoffs. Longwood will play at Liberty Wednesday, November 12 if the Lancers can beat Macon (1-34), 78-1) or Averett (0-3-1, 8-8-1). Should the Lancers qualify for the playoffs, next Monday's regular season game with Liberty in Farmville will be canceled. The Lancers are still in contention for a berth in the NCAA Division II Tournament. Bids are expected to be announced Sunday. Longwood played hard in Saturday's loss at ChristopherNewport, according to Posipanko. He singled out goalkeeper Dave Goerke, back Jeff Robinson, forward John Barone and midfielder Craig Reid for their play in the loss. The Captains led 1-0 at the half, but Longwood tied the game at 11 on a goal by Reid, asissted by Barone 66 minutes into the game. CNC got a goal when the linesman ruled a shot had broken the plane of the goal cage as Goerke knocked it out. The host team added another score with about a minute left. "We had a chance to win the game," said Posipanko. "He played pretty well." Each team had nine shots on goal. Goerke came through with seven saves for the lancers. Barone scored in the second half on an assist from Mahfoud Kyoud Wednesday to lead Longwood over HamptonSydney. Longwood out-shot the Tigers 17-7 and got six saves from Goerke who went all the way to earn the shutout. Heading into the end of the regular season, Barone is the top scorer with 8 goals and 5 assists. Scott Gittman is second with seven goals and three assists. Mark Kremen has 9 assists and 3 goals while Mike Edge has 6 goals and 2 assists.
Field Hockey
Rugby Wins State Title
Ending the regular season on a positive note, Longwood got a 5-0 victory over Mary Washington Wednesday in field hockey, finishing with a fine 10-6-1 record and getting coach Sue Finnie her 100th career hockey win. The Lady Lancers extended a string of winning seasons to five in a row. Freshman Melissa Gwinn had 2 assists and a goal, and Diane Brown 2 goals to pace the victory. Laura Goetz and Traci Strickland scored once each. "It meant more to get our 10th win of the season than for me to get number 100," said Finnie. "I wouldn't have felt the season was a success without getting win number 10. As for my 100th win, it just means I've got a long way to go to 200 wins. "I feel real good about the season, particularly in light of the fact that we'll have everybody back for next year," said the coach. "This is a close-knit group. They are aware of the future potential we have." Finnie also singled out link Diane Bingler for her "high pressure" game. The junior had 19 interceptions-tackles for the afternoon. Goalkeepers Kim Howells and Susette Stone combined on the shutout. Goetz got the goal and Strickland the assist in last
