On Thursday, January 28th the Speech and Theatre Program will be sponsoring the fifty minute presentation of the life of Martin Luther King Jr. The performance, "I Have A Dream", will be given in Jarman Auditorium at 10:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m. The production, by Theatre IV of Richmond, follows Dr. King's life from his birth in Atlanta in 1929 to his assassination at the age of 39 in Memphis. The title of the dramatization is from Dr. King's passionate plea for equal rights and justice in his 1963 speech in Washington, D.C. In dedicating one of his books to his four children, Dr. King wrote: "I dream that one day soon they will no longer be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
SGA's SEMESTER SIZZLING WITH ACTIVITY By SOMER SLOAN The Student Government Association held their first meeting of the semester on Thursday, January 21,1988. President Ricky Otey addressed several issues that are pertinent to this semester. One of the biggest projects for Vice President Tim Hale, secretary Patrice Landers and the rest of the executive senate is the creation of the Student Academic Advisory Committee. SAAC will be comprised of select members from the School of Business, the school of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education. Secondly, the Residence Life Advisory Committee will be holding their first meeting of the semester this Thursday, January 28 at 1 p.m. The topic to be addressed will be keeping Longwood students on campus for the weekend. The theme is reflective of the statement "What ya doing this weekend?" February is Black History month, and on February 7, Charles Magnum will be speaking in Jarman Auditorium ... In addition, Minority Affairs will begin tutoring for those (Continued on Page 3)
By MATT PETERMAN After many months of renovation, the old French basketball court has been transformed into a modern racquetbaii facility that any health club would envy. In addition to the four courts, locker rooms and offices have been either added or brought up to date. The project, which carries the price tag of $450,000, will be finished by the end of March. The facility, which is completely adapted to the needs of the handicapped, will be under the regulation of Carolyn Calloway, The Director of the Division of Intramural and Campus Recreation. Calloway expressed relief at the thought of the courts finally being completed after 5 years of waiting since the project was first proposed. The hours the courts will be open have yet to be decided, (Continued on Page 3)
By ALISON K. MILLER ISL continues to acquaint students with the program and to acknowledge those students attending Longwood from other countries. This was the purpose of the banquet for International Studies at Longwood, held in the Virginia Room last night. Says ISL director Dr. Reynolds, "I'm interested in getting to know more of the foreign students on campus and am encouraging them to get in touch with me." The banquet guest list included ISL members, foreign students who attend Longwood, and faculty members and administrators. The banquet was funded by the office of Longwood's president, Dr. George Healy. Following the banquet was the final segment of Dr. Daniel Metraux's lecture on the History of Japan, presented in Bedford Auditorium. Other presentations included in ISL's awareness of Japanese history and culture this semester will be a program
Chamber Music Series Performance Monday Longwood College's Chamber Music Series will present the Roxbury Chamber Players in concert on Monday evening, February 1, at 8 o'clock in Wygal Auditorium. The ensemble performs music from the baroque to the present day and record on the Opus One label. They have commissioned and premiered nine new works. Longwood's Chamber Music Series is sponsored by the Department of Visual and Performing Arts and the Longwood Arts Council. The final two concerts in this year's Chamber Music Series will feature the Garth Newel Trio on February 22 and the Richmond Sinfonia Strings on April 11.
ISL programs this semester focus on Japanese history and culture. about Japanese art, aesthetics and religion, presented by Jane Griffin of the Smithsonian Institute, February 16, in Bedford at 7:30 p.m., and a Koto concert March 30. Dr. John Reynolds has been working very hard along with student assistant Cyndi Wessels, on familiarizing Longwood's campus with the program, some of their efforts include keeping students informed about what is happening in ISL with a bulletin board located next to the foreign language lab in the basement of Grainger. They are also working on a video collection of careers in international business and study abroad information. The international Studies program's hopes of establishing a minor will become reality in September 1988. ISL expects to be working in cooperation with other colleges and universities throughout Virginia in the near future. Longwood is already a member of the Virginia Council for Study Abroad and the Virginia Consortium for Asian Studies. ISL will be continuing its emphasis on Asian studies this fall with beginning Japanese taught by Fumiko Kinjo from the Hokkaido Foundation.

Freedom Of The Press R.I.P. The U. S. Supreme Court has taken a step towards the Orwellian age of 1984 with one of its latest decisions: censorship of high school papers. The seemingly small constitutional infringement, politely worded as 'giving administrators "broad latitude to suppress controversial stories'" so as not to appear blatantly restricting, is most likely the first in a series of bills and decisions which will eventually turn this country's presses into puppets of certain superiors. Control was begun at the high-school paper level so as to be subtle. Eventually this congressional paranoia of freeminded individuals, a result of nationwide conservative tendencies which have developed over the past decade or so, will reach national news and publication levels, acting, in essence, in much the same way as Russia's KGB, allowing only what the guys in charge want us to know about to be released to public. Control of the college press will be next, followed by small town papers and corporate newsletters. Finally, metropolitan newspapers and national news publications will fall to the hands of congressional censorship. If one looks closely the chain of events leading to the demise of the American press is as apparent as it is appalling. The public was first subjected to mass restriction when the alcohol awareness kick began the raising of the drinking age all over the place. Presently, there is a greater risk of dying as
a result of a draft notice, which can affect males at the age of 18, than there is of dying as a result of alcohol, since it can't be legally consumed before the age of 21 in most places. Then it was the seatbelts. Conservativism is written all over those suckers. Suppression at its best. People are
"... a listless, unopinionated generation has evolved, and they don't care." told that seatbelts are for their own good — HA! They're a conditioning tool, employed in the creation of a submissive public who won't care about the fact that the government is taking over their presses. And do you know what? This plot is working. Today's youth is the product. A listless, unopinionated generation has evolved, and they don't care. No rallies, no riots to prove a point — nothing. Nothing but Max Headroom and the Beastie Boys. Everything is done by the rules, with neon and sequins to cover up the mundaneness. It's all just a theory, but it is a possibility, and it is scary. Why don't they just lock high school students away (until they're ready for the draft) so as to shield them from all of life's problems? Why can't high school students write about issues such as AIDS and pregnancy and the likes — issues that could potentially effect them? Issues that are alive in the same world that they themselves are? Issues that they have a right to learn about?

Beyond Longwood
INF Treaty, Pancreas Cancer, And North Korea By MATT PETERMAN OThe Senate went to work yesterday on the question of ratifying the INF (Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty) that President Reagan and Mickail Gorbechev signed during their December 7th summit. Despite conservative opposition to the treaty, it is expected to be ratified some time in April. Reagan in weekly radio address said: "Its a good treaty, a solid one with the most extensive verification provisions in history." The treaty requires that all US and Soviet medium range missiles (300-3000 mile range) to be dismantled within three years. This ultimately eliminated an entire class of missiles. The Democrats who back the treaty are expected to fight against amendments that may be added from conservatives, this could stall the treaty and or kill it altogether, because in it could change it in such a way that The Soviet Union would not ratify it.
Qln a report released in the Western Journal of Medicine, a study has linked smoking and coffee consumption to a high risk of cancer. The cancer involved is pancreatic. In a study done in the past, studies of those who drank large amounts of coffee resulted in the same findings. However, this study indicates that there is higher risk for those who drink a lot of coffee and also smoke. Those people drinking three or more cups of coffee per day have a four times greater chance of developing cancer of the pancreas, if they also smoke. O North Korea is furious at the United States for labeling it a terrorist state, after it was revealed that North Koreans had orchestrated the bombing of an airplane. The label could cost the nation many millions of dollars as it hurts their chances for loans in the international scene. The North Koreans are retaliating by refusing to give the United States ashes of soldiers killed in the Korean War.

Court time will be coordinated by a 24hour in advance sign-up system. Walk-ins will be allowed only if those signed up don't show. Play time will be limited to 30 minutes. According to Calloway, "some equipment will be available for check out." Balls will have to be supplied by the players. "I just hope that those who use it will have patience with us," says Calloway, speaking of the trial and error period.
SGA (Continued from Page 1) students in need of assistance. A small fee is required for these services. The senior class is looking for input from its peering concerning issues such as Senior Ball and Commencement Services in May. -. President Otey has formed a new task force designed to reconstruct the Judicial Board's Constitution. The board is presently torn between becoming an entirely student or administrative run organization. The first meeting of this task force will be held February 12 in the Prince Edward Room at 12:45 p.m. S-UN has announced that Barry Drake will speak on his involvement with the original Beatles on February 23rd in the Gold Room. New Orientation leaders are needed more for the summer and the upcoming school year. Lastly, and most importantly, the search for the new president of Longwood College is still in the works. A committee of 18 members is working on the screening process. We, as the student body need to make our opinions known on what we would like to see in our new president as well as all of the other issues addressed above. The Student Government is here for you, but without your input and support SGA will only be as strong as its weakest member. The next meeting will be held on January 28,1988 in the Conference Room of the Student Union. Vice President Tim Hale will be presiding. All SGA meetings are held on Thursdays at 6 p.m. Everyone is always welcome to attend.
The courts have an upper deck that allows viewers to watch the games from above. One of the courts features "a solid glass wall" that allows viewing from the lower deck, according to Richard Hurley, Vice President for Legislative and Business Affairs. Administrators and faculty will be scheduled to use the courts during times that

students don't tend to use them very much; morning or during dinner time, for example. Intramurals are planned and will operate in the same manner as all other intramural events. For those who do not know how to play racquetball, classes will be offered. As to when these plans will take place, a tentative date is next semester.
Baliles Budget Will Bolster Longwood By MATT PETERMAN Governor Baliles exposed his proposed 1988-90 Biennium Budget (budget for the next two years) on January 13, at the opening of the 1988 General Assembly. In that proposal, Longwood would be given the authority to hire 19 more people. These are enrollment-driven job possibilities and could go down if enrollment drops. Only the General Assembly can give the Board of Visitors permission to hire new people. Salary increases for faculty and staff range from 7.17% to 2.5%, depending on the status in each particular case. The big news in the budget is that Longwood's plans for a new library are going forward quite smoothly. According to Brenda L. Atkins, Special Assistant To The President For Legislative Relations, "the Governor has recommended in his proposed budget that only planning monies be funded in 1988-89 for most capital outlay projects, with construction monies funded in 1989-90 from lottery revenues." "The Longwood Library Construction Project ($6.8 million) is on the Governor's list of projects to be funded in 1989-90," stated Atkins. Other points of interest include a $382,557 increase in student financial aid, approximately $300,000 for an Academic Services Center and Computer Hardware/Software Maintenance Contracts. The budget will be decided on in the next 50 days, the time stretch known as the "long session." This session ends on March 12. According to Atkins, "During this .. . session, legislators will decide on a state budget and process approximately 2,000 bills and resolutions." "Because it is so early in the session, very few bills and resolutions have been introduced," commented Atkins. This "long session" is the biggest moment for the General Assembly and the time where a lot of work is pressed into a limited amount of days.

Lancer Line Working Hard By CHERYL JEFFREY At tonight's men's basketball game, the Lancer Line will entertain Longwood students and visitors with a routine to Corey Hart's "Boy in the Box." This will be one of the last performances of the season for the seventeen member drill team whose captain is Bonita Turner and co-captains, Frances Cataldo and Suzy Monette. Dr. Marie Silveria, a Spanish professor at Longwood, is the team's sponsor. "It's been a very productive season," said Ms. Turner. "We're not only worked as a team, but we're also friends. Everyone works hard for one goal. We've had a lot of support from faculty and friends, and we'd like to thank them for their support." Tryouts for next year's team will be held in March. Ms. Turner says that being on the drill team is a great opportunity for public exposure, leadership experience, and development of talent. One of the later performances will be on Wednesday, February 10, when there will be a "special" performance to Michael Jackson's "Bad" in Lancer gym. There will also be performances at the Special Olympics on February 20 and during Spring Weekend.
Life After Longwood 'You sacrifice a lot, mostly your social calendar." (This article is one of a series of interviews with recent Longwood graduates who have already made significant strides in their careers. The alumni tell how their alma mater's Office of Career Planning and Placement helped them get where they are. Best of all, their stories offer hope and inspiration for "life after Longwood!") Mike O'Shea '85 MAJOR: Business Administration CURRENT JOBS: Accountant II at MCI, Arlington, Virginia (Q: What has been happening to you since you left Longwood?) A: "I started working at MCI Telecommunications Corp. the day after I graduated from Longwood, and have been with the company two and a half years. MCI offers a full range of telecommunications services to business and residential customers. It is a growing company (MCI has almost doubled in size since I started) with good benefits and a good salary, although salary is by far not the most important thing in a career." (Q: How did you experience the job market as a new college graduate?) A: "I had several offers, which I believe were the result of hard work, although metropolitan Washington D.C. is a very good area
OCPP [i LOOKING FOR A NdSCOTH
rank when I moved to the Property Accounting Department, where MCI keeps track of its billions of dollars worth of assets. My specific area of responsibility is the switches that are vital for the communications industry." (Q: What are your goals? Where are you heading in your career?) k. "I don't fxpect to be with MCI forever. In addition to my job here, I own my own business together with my father. It is an automotive franchise and we are building a muffler shop in Richmond. Eventually, I expect to move to Richmond and run the shop on a full-time basis, but that won't be for a couple of years. Right now, it's tough. You sacrifice a lot, mostly your social calendar." (Q: What advice or tips do you have for currently enrolled Longwood students?) A: "Seniors, when you're at home, look at companies to see which ones appeal to you. If you start now, you are actually going to get what you want. If you wait, you'll get the leftovers. I felt sorry for classmates who waited until after graduation before they started to think about getting a job. Ideally, you should have started getting your letters of application in the mail during Christmas. You should definitely mail them before spring vacation. Practice your interviewing skills at the OCPP. I learned several mistakes to correct. Don't let your first interview be the real one. (Q: What is a positive memory you have of Longwood?) A: "The people I was there with. The faculty, in particular, made a great deal of difference. The teachers' particular strength was that they gave very good practical advice in addition to the book learning. Because of the good teacher/student ratio, I was able to get outside help when I needed it. I keep in touch with several other Longwood graduates who are also accountants, and they are all doing well." (If you need help with your career/continuing education goals, resume and letter writing, self-directed job search strategies or employer information, stop by the Office of Career Planning and Placement on the second floor of Ruffncr.)

(Q: Briefly discuss your career path. How did you get where you are with your current employer? What do you do in your current position?)

During Christmas vacation I mailed out the 95 resumes. During the second semester, I heard back from the ten companies who wanted to meet with me. I had plenty of time to pace the interviews at my own convenience. I went home on weekends and stayed over on Monday for job interviews. By the time graduation rolled around, I had my job lined up.

team was looking to find an identity for itself after losing several key players from last year's squad. However, after an early January road trip netted them three wins and improved its record to 10-6, the team was looking to challenge for the Mason-Dixon Conference championship. One of the main reasons for the Lancers' success has been the performance of junior forward, Darryl Rutley. After a slow start, Rutley has caught on fire over the past month and has raised his scoring average to nearly 20 points per game. Included in the stretch was a 26 point effort in an 82-74 victory at Armstrong State. One of the major reasons for Rutley's sudden scoring surge has been his move from shooting guard to small forward, with junior Bobby Dobson moving to one of the guard positions. "I enjoy playing small forward, because it is my natural position", says Rutley, who has averaged over 20 points since the switch. "Moreover, I feel comfortable there, and I've been able to score more." In addition to improving his scoring, Rutley has made strides in his leadership ability. He is still far from satisfied, however "I would like to become even better", comments Rutley, "by improving my rebounding and ball-handling." Leadership would seem to come naturally to Rutley, considering he is the oldest player on the Lancers and has performed at the Division I level with Monmouth. Fortunate for Longwood basketball followers, Rutley decided to return to his home state to play. After graduating from Trinity Episcopal High where he was a 3-time All-Prep selection and 2-time team most valuable player, Rutley signed with Monmouth. Although he did not enjoy as much success there as he has at Longwood, he was able to earn a starting position as a freshman. Moreover, he tossed in 14 points that year against eventual national champion Villanova.

Shelton Breaks Record On Balance Beam By MICHAEL PHILLIPS Longwood's gymnasts had two three-team meets over the weekend, and despite several outstanding individual performances, came away with a record of 1-4. The LC gymnasts will be in action next when they travel to the University of Maryland at Baltimore County Saturday for a 2:00 meet. Friday, Longwood faced James Madison University and the U.S. Naval Academy. The deep and experienced JMU roster was too much for the Lancers and Navy to handle. Although Navy provided the top three all-around performers, led by Michelle Reyes (36.55), James Madison (171.40) walked away with first place over the Middies (166.10) and Longwood (162.75). Lancer freshman Cindy Shelton set a new school record of 9.0 on the balance beam, topping the old mark of 8.90 set by
Player Of The Week
Junior John Stukes turned in another outstanding week at 134 pounds for the Longwood wrestling team and has been named Longwood College Player of the Week for the period January 17-24. Player of the Week is chosen by the Longwood Sports Information Office. Stukes won his fourth tournament title of the season Saturday (a Longwood record) in the Washington & Lee Invitational with a pin and a 10-1 decision. Thursday he beat an opponent from Campbell 10-5. Now 23-2-1 for the current season, he has an eyepopping 59-5-2 mark in three seasons at Longwood and ranks number one in winning percentage in Lancer history. Now nationally ranked in NCAA Division II, the Deep Creek High School graduate is a strong threat to advance to the Division II National Tournament. He previously won titles at 134 pounds in the Winston-Salem State, York College and Newport News Apprentice Tournaments. "John has dedicated himself to being the best that he can be," said Longwood coach Steve Nelson. "He is working very hard and if he continues in the direction he's headed, I feel he has a good shot at advancing to the national tournament." JOHN STUKES
LC GRAPPLERS TAKE W&L TITLE Nine of 10 Longwood wrestlers placed in the top four Saturday as the Lancers cruised to victory in the Washington & Lee Invitational wrestling Tournament in Lexington, Virginia. Eion Kelley at 126, John Stukes at 134 and Doug Hartley at 190 grabbed tournament titles as Longwood rolled up 79.75 points to beat second place Washington & Lee (51.5). Stukes was named Most Outstanding in the tournament. A stronger field of teams awaits Longwood in the Lancer Duals Saturday in Farmville. Defending champ Pembroke State, which beat LC 36-6 before Christmas, returns along with Norfolk State, Virginia State, Ferrum and Washington & Lee. Action begins in the team tournament Saturday morning at 8:30. Longwood will kick-off the competition against an undetermined opponent. Kelley upped his record to 14-8 by winning all three of his matches - on a pin, a 13-3 decision and a 12-3 decision in the finals. He also grabbed a 6-5 win Thursday in Longwood's 26-13 dual match loss to Division I Campbell. The Lancers are 1-7 in dual matches. Hartley literally survived to win his crown at 190 and up his season mark to 12-8. With a bad shoulder and a painful ankle, the freshman got a first round bye, won a 6-0 decision and held on for an 8-7 decision in the finals. "It was one of the guttiest performances I've ever seen," said Nelson. "Doug was in a lot of pain in the final match, but he toughed it out. He deserves a lot of credit." Other place winners for Longwood were Tommy Gilbert, 2-2, 4th at 142; Ted Proctor, 2-1, 2nd at 150; Andy Mautner, 2-2, 4th at 158; Dave Taylor, 2-1, 3rd at 167; Tim Mason, 3-1, 3rd at 177, and Jesus Strauss, 3-1, 3rd at heavyweight. W&L Invitational results: Longwood 79.75, Washington & Lee 51.5, Newport News Apprentice 46, Davidson 40.75, Gettysburg 38.5, Gardner-Webb 34, Johns Hopkins 27.25 and Furman 15.

(163.70) couldn't keep up with a healthy Towson team (179.90). N. C. State brought only four gymnasts to Lancer Hall and could do nothing but hope for good scores from all of them. Freshman Teri Dore did her part in trying to lift Longwood's team score as she had what coach Budd called "a good meet." Dore's all-around score of 34.10 placed her fourth behind three Towson State gymnasts. Other all-around competitors for Longwood were Lynda Chenoweth, 33.8, Shelton, 33.65, and Tammy Zeller, 32.0.
Lancers Win 4 Of 5 Road Games Longwood's men's basketball team will be looking for a confidence-building 70-66 win at Pittsburgh-Johnstown Saturday afternoon to carry over in rugged home contests against Liberty and Mount St. Mary's this week. The Lancers upset the Mountain Cats, minus leading scorer Tyrone Doleman, as junior Darryl Rutley scored 18 of his game high 26 points in the second half. Now 11-6 overall and 1-0 in the Mason-Dixon Conference, Longwood should be considered an underdog in MDAC tilts against the Flames Tuesday and Mount St. Mary's Friday, says LC coach Cal Luther. Saturday, Longwood came back from a 34-31 halftime deficit to drop UPJ to 10-6 overall and 1-2 in the league. Saddled with four troubles in the first half, the Lancers used halfcourt trap and manto-man defenses to unsettle Pitt-Johnstown in the second period. Dale Shavers, Greg Holloway and Bobby Dobson all had three fouls in the first half and sat part of the period. "We played well in the second half," said Luther. "We played better defense and got the ball inside more." The Lancers shot 60 per cent in the second half as Rutley, Doug Poppe and Shavers paced the comeback. Poppe haf 15 points and six rebounds, and Shavers 15 points and nine rebounds. Rutley, averaging 17.2 ppg., hit 11 of 18 field goals and four of five free throws. Holloway contributed eight points before fouling out.
