Lottery Begins Today After all the debates and headaches, Virginia takes a big step today launching its lame attempt at a lottery. Our lottery consists of a top prize of $5000 which will hopefully be raised to $10,000 soon. All tickets, sold at many businesses in Farmville. are all scratch (where no excitement is involved) and after all the hype of the new system dies down, the lottery will not be as big of a success as expected. In order for a lottery to be truly successful it must have a game where one picks numbers and finds out the next day or week whether the picks were a success. So, if Virginia wants to gather enough revenues to make its lottery practical, it must £o for the prizes that reach in the millions.

^COMMENTARY Pageant
The New American Hero By ED MATRICARDI The Democrats may have begun the 1988 Presidential Election suffering from what many called the Blur Factor, but they are entering the final leg of the election with a seemingly unbeatable team and a new American Hero. A new American Hero for a new American Post-Reagan Era. A hero who offers America a future radically different from her past A hero who began his life as a leftest outcast, but now leads the progressive wing of the Democratic National Party. A hero whose positions, speech and color separated him from his fellow Democratic Candidates, and who capitalized on America's perennial support for the underdog. Though he lost the nomination to Mike Dukakis. Jesse Jackson is the New American Hero, whose ideas have moved his party and will soon swing the United States of America, towards the left and Socialism. Mike Dukakis' bid to the Presidency is the Democrats ' pratlcal way to institute Jackson ideals of social spending and big Govt. The Democrats realize that no responsible American would vote for a candidate who is the "Anti-Christ" to the American way of life. A man who would have America turn into a welfare state where the few work for the masses and not for themselves or their families. The Democrats hope they can put one over on the American people and elect Mike Dukakis, a man who stands with Jackson in his continued efforts to destroy the American Dream and America's Productiveness.
Though Mike Dukakis claims to be a product of the American Dream, his past actions, policies and future intentions, prove he owes no alligance to it. Like Jesse Jackson. Mike Dukakis does not believe in a work ethic; he believes in a gift ethic. Along with the largest Tax Hike in Massachusetts. History. Michael Dukakis has turned a $200 million budget surplus into a $400 million budget deficit. America certainly will enter a new American era with her new American Hero and a President Dukakis. An era not of capitalism, competition and production, but of stagnation and decline. Both Jackson and Dukakis argue need and they are right: Something must be done about the poor. Things like training and edueating them to perform jobs and to make a living on their own, if possible. Not flooding funds that prove ineffective, ineffecient to men and women whose only right to it is their own Inability to make it themselves. Ability is the root of capitalism and advancement. But Jackson and Dukakis reject this theory. Both see ability as a selfish evil which discriminates against the opportunity of the less able. The battle cry of opportunity for the poor and minorities has been the backbone of their complaints against the Reagan Administration. George Bush and the Republician Party. Opportunity: Well, that sounds fine and well, but the opportunity they offer is tantamount to taking by force from those who have to give to those who need. What they fail to realize
is the disasterous consequences of a system that takes from those who work and give, to those who need. If one looks at history, the countries which practice this principle bankrupt themselves; for no nation is so rich that she can live Indefinitely off her past production. And live off her past production is Just what a country is forced to do when it accepts this creed, for the crops reward not the farmer but the parasite. A system which rewards those who do not work at the expense of those who do. forces the mover and the shaker to quit, for not only is it easier, but now more profitable not to think, not to work and not to produce. Jackson and Dukakis would have a man's failure be tne fault of everyone in socie ' ty but ^at man. They offer a crutch, and consistent with human nature anyone who has the choice, will take the easy way out. This is America, not the Garden of Eden. We do not have an inexhaustable supply of funds, only opportunity; Which is out there, it Just takes ambition and desire to find personal ability and use it. Anything worth having is wort }» earning. Unfortunately most Americans have forgotten this: They want it given to them and this is why in November the Democrats will be successful In turning Americans against their heritage and their dream. America will elect Mike Dukakis to the Presidency and our new

Golfer (Continued from Page 8) "The American players are better coached and have played against some of the top players in the world. In South Africa, we have difficulty getting competition because we are banned from most international events," says Sole. "It is frustrating because sportsmen are hurt due to politics." Sole hopes her experience and ability will help bring more success to the Lady Lancers, who have won the last two Division II National Championships. "The team has a difficult task ahead of it, so we're all

pretty nervous," says Sole. "I wish the team huge success, because we want to keep the flag flying at Longwood." If her first collegiate tournament is any indication, Sole should be a real boost for a Lady Lancer squad decimated by graduation. The freshman shot a 76-74-89-239 to tie for eighth place in the 12th Longwood Invitational. The leader of the tournament after two days, she had trouble getting her game going in the final round. Lady Lancer coach Barbara Smith is delighted to have Sole on the Longwood squad. "I believe Daphne will be one of our best players," said Smith. "It will take time for her

THE ROTUNDA SEPTEMBER 20,1988
SPORTS Longwood Imports South African Golfer By MARK KIRK Imagine giving up your job, leaving your family and friends, and selling most of your personal belongings in order to travel halfway around the world to attend college in a foreign country. If you can comprehend this situation, then you should be able to understand what Longwood College golfer Daphne Sole has been up against. The 26-year-old freshman, formerly a resident of Cape Town, South Africa, gave up a job as a medical technologist and an honored spot on her province golf team to come to Longwood for the pursuit of a career in golf, medicine, or perhaps both. Along with fellow freshman Angie Monro of Alberta, Canada, Sole ranks as the first
foreign Lady Lancer golf recruit. A three-handicap golfer, she was only able to leave her native land for college in America thanks to several good breaks.. Her biggest boost came from Paul du Toit, a "friend from back home" who notified colleges of her golfing ability while on a tour of America last year. He heard of Longwood coach Barbara Smith while in Florida, phoned her, and was able to interest her in pursuing Sole. Eventually, Sole chose Longwood over Rollins College because of the offer of a full scholarship. "Paul du Toit is the main reason that I'm here at Longwood," says Sole, whose accent reminds one of Crocodile Dundee. "There is no way that I could have come over to America and visited colleges on my own." Period of Uncertainty Despite Sole's desire to come to the United States, she still had to endure a long period of uncertainty about whether or not she would be allowed into the country. Her departure from South Africa was hampered by several minor technicalities. "I also had a lot of trouble in securing a visa, which is hard to get in South Africa," Sole explained. "I had to go to the American Consulate four times
before I was finally able to get one." After finally being allowed to come to Longwood, Sole encountered another problem: getting adjusted to life away from home. She admits her first few days in Farmville were difficult, but she now feels more comfortable after better understanding the lifestyle. "I had to make a lot of adjustments when I came here. There have been shocks here and there, but I'm slowly but surely becoming adjusted. I've had to learn how to fit in with other people, but I'm enjoying it a lot better now," Sole explained. Now that she has begun to "fit in", the pre-med major should be better able to concentrate on the game she loves so dearly. The fact that she enjoys golf so much comes as no surprise when one realizes that her entire family plays the game (two of her cousins have spent time on the PGA Tour, as well). "Actually, I didn't play much golf during my teen years because of other school sports. My family wanted me to play more team sports, which is good for that age," says Sole. Once Sole began to play more, however, her golf game became something worth talking about. At the age of 17, she earned one of four spots on the Western Province golf team, becoming the first person under 18 to play for the province.
During Sole's career, she has chalked up ten state (province) victories, including the Southern Cape Championship in May with an 80-72-152. Sole considers that victory to be her finest. "In that tournament, I beat Gilly Tebbutt (considered to be the top South African golfer) in a four-hole sudden death playoff to claim first place. I enjoyed that victory the most because it was my most recent win and it was my last tournament there. It was a nice sendoff," explained Sole. Not So Nice The sendoff from the Western Province Ladies Golf Union was not so nice. When union officials learned in April that Sole planned to leave South Africa to attend college in the United States, they deleted her from all future team events. "I had been a member of the Western Province team for nine
years, but they just gave me a kick in the face," she recalled. "It was quite upsetting for me. "One day before we were to fly to Johannesburg for a tournament, they called and told me that since I was planning to leave, I had been replaced on the province team. They just I gave me the golden handshake (i.e. - you're fired) and said, j 'Thanks, mate!'" A friend, Texas Christian golfer Barbara Pestana, informed Sole later that the best course would have been to wait 1 to notify the union of her intentions until the day before her departure for the U.S. Chance To Perform i Despite her years of experience with tough competition back home, Sole is pleased to have the chance to perform against top American players. She feels it will be a good opportunity to improve her game. (Continued on Page 7)
