Campus Housing Sparks Controversy

By MATT PETERMAN Last Thursday a group of angry Farmville residents told their town council that some off campus students were conducting themselves in a manner deemed unlawful. Isolated cases Included yard urination, use of pyrotechnic devices, use of bottle rockets, drunkenness, profanity, and the breaking of windows. As a result of the complaining residents, the Farmville town council unanimously voted to begin enforcing a law uncovered by Prince Edward Commonwealth at-

torney William Watkins. According to The Farmville Herald: The specific section states that it "shall be unlawful for any person to allow, suffer, or permit in any house or upon any premises owned or occupied by himself any profane, obscene or vulgar language or conduct; any fighting, quarreling or affray; or any loud or unusual noises to the disturbance of the quiet and good order of the town." Breaking that law carries a fine of up to $1000 or up to (Continued on Page 5)

Career Night In Business Was Evening Well Spent By DENISE CLAYTON On Monday. November 7. the Office of Career Planning and Placement and Delta Sigma Pi sponsored another Career Night in Business. The program started with a general session with two keynote speakers. Alumnus Duke Rollins (1982 graduate) gave advice in preparing for the workplace and Warren Green, Regional Services Manager for the Virginia Department of Economic Development spoke on economic development and entrepreneurship. The speakers were followed by two breakout sessions where students could hear more about individual concentrations of interest offered here at If T^' Duke Rollins gave students the philosophy of PUSH

which means Produce a Product. Understand what you are producing, Support what is produced and have fun in the workplace. After following this philosophy, one becomes a PUSHER and can expect financial benefits and reward oneself. Warren Green explained the process for starting entrepreneurships and the advantages and disadvantages of one.

Thanksgiving With the approach of Thanksgiving, a person begins to think of home, roasted turkey with all the trimmings, and a break from studies. For some of us. however. Thanksgiving also means it is time to finish up the projects, the term papers, or anything else the teachers decide on at the "last minute." Also there are exams to start worrying over. How many of us, though, really buckle down to study when we know we are at home, free from our class to class, homework and paper filled schedules? Probably not many. Whatever happened to the old fashioned Thanksgivings we had when we were kids? You remember - grandmother's house, a big turkey, cranberry sauce, your favorite pie, and all your aunts, uncles, and cousins? Sure you do! Everyone was happy to see you. to find out how you were doing in school, and to tell a few tales of what Thanksgiving was like when they were "your age." Life was easier then, wasn't it? Today, it seems, the only time the family gets together for the turkey and the talk is between the football bowl games or at halftime! We all say we are thankful for our health, for our friends, and for our family. But do we really mean what we say or do we just say it once or twice a year (Thanksgiving and Christmas) to please others? In this rapid paced world we live in today, it is hard to know exactly what we mean. The simple joys of life are lost -joys like those of Thanksgiving because Mom doesn't want a house full of people or she Just doesn't want to do all of the cookliig herself. Thanksgiving - or any holiday that brings the family together for that matter - should not be this way. While it is true that college life does somewhat alter past traditions of a homework free break, try not to let that be the only thing you do while you are at home. Take the time to enjoy yourself and your family. And instead of having Thanksgiving once a year, why not give thanks every day?

Right or Privilege? further their education and ensure stability in their future. Going hand-in-hand with stabilizing or having some type of control of one's future is voting, especially for the lYesident. Voting in the United States is not a right, it is a privilege, one that young people should exercise more often. To quote Miss Taylor. "Given that government effects every aspect of our lives, not voting is not caring about one's future. And for young adults such as ourselves here at Longwood pursuing careers, our futures are all we have." I agree whole-heartedly with this statement, and I want to know why many students are attending a college of their choice - supported by the government - to better their futures, yet they do not want

COMMENTARY Off Campus Housing

(Continued from Page 1) 12 months In jail, or both. Town police have been enforcing an ordinance forbidding loud music, but were unaware they had sharper teeth. This is much better." Chief Otto Overton said. The basic facts as could be extracted from The Farmville Herald are below: Town council has discussed the problems students renting houses poses to other residents. They have contemplated an apartment licensing

ordinance and will most likely pass one in the future. While council has felt that the best bet may be to go after landlords, many of whom live out-of-town and out-of-state, local attorney Robert Bruce told them Thursday that "the person leasing it is the one you can nail." In addition to turning toward town police, councilman and residents are looking for cooperation from Longwood. The college in many ways has

greater leverage with its students and can enforce things in ways the town cannot. Longwood president Dr. William Dorrill said Tuesday he wished citizens had come to the college with their problems before going to town council. Dorrill said "communication is a two-way street. I want to be cooperative but it takes two to tango." Dorrill said the college wants "to cooperate to the fullest extent of our control." When asked what controls the college could exert, he said, "I'm not entirely sure, but apparently the town wasn't entirely sure either."

Why Dukakis Lost BY TOM FOSTER George Bush earned his victory over Michael Dukakis by a skillful campaign waged with military precision. Dukakis, ahead early in the campaign by 30 poin.s. failed to seize the initiative. He disappeared from the bat tlefield to tour the countryside. Dukakis failed to concentrate on his opponent's weak points. Had he done so early, he might have chosen the battleground and gained a clear advantage. His hesitation let Bush choose when and where he would mount his attacks. By challenging every facet of the Reagan-Bush record. Dukakis wasted limited resources without securing a single important objective. In contrast. Bush hit again and

again at small weaknesses in the Dukakis record. The Dukakis forces failed to maneuver quickly as opportunities presented themselves or attacks were mounted against the candidate. Bush brilliantly used the element of surprise, raiding Boston harbor and appearing a^ain with Boston police, while the Dukakis forces were predictable - an easy target. The surprise attacks succeeded in part because the Dukakis forces had not identified their own weak points, nor designed an effective defense. Dukakis failed to attack first on the issue of i crime, and when attacked, he retreated. His inaction permitted Bush to drive the attack home with renewed force.

The Dukakis approach was too complex, spread too thinly, with too little clear direction. Because he failed to simplify his campaign, he left himself vulnerable to a simple and clear campaign against him. Final victory requires unity, but a disorganized campaign and Jesse Jackson's virtual disappearance from the campaign, doomed the Dukakis effort. During the next four years, our new President must protect the nation and lead it in an endless series of challenges. His success in the 1988 campaign proves him worthy of that role. If the American people unify behind him. they will assure his success in the battles to come.

One resident's concern that Longwood not think it's being attacked by town residents is important. The town is a community made up of different parts. Longwood is an important part of that community. So are residents who live around the campus. But when any large number of people are brought together there will be some who take their responsibility of citizenship less seriously than others. This is no less true when those people are college students. Another resident told council he expects full cooperation from the college in addressing citizen concerns. He and Overton were to meet with LC vice-president for business affairs Rick Hurley Tuesday afternoon.

the bell on display. The earliest reference to a bell that Dr. Jordan found Is in an 1859 brochure for Longwood. then called the Farmville Female College. "One hour after the rising bell, the boarders assemble with the teachers In the parlor for family prayers." It said. The 1902 issue of The Virginian. Longwood's yearbook. contains the passage. "When the big bell rings, the girls come trooping In. . ." In the college's financial records for 1903-04. there are four entries for "repairs and improvements" to the "school bell." "Whether the rising bell'. the 'big bell' and the school bell' are the same bell, we cannot be sure." said Dr. Jordan. "I'll bet money they're all the same, but we don't have any way to prove that.' ^
