Findings On Phone Fiasco By BETH A. LORD Many Longwood students were enraged when they got back on campus after Christmas break and found out that they could no longer use the credit cards they waited in line for at the beginning of last semester. Instead, they had to get personal authorization codes to call long-distance. This transition occurred over break making it impossible for the college to notify students or give them their codes before they got back on campus. Rose Hurley of Telecommunications made 250 flyers, which were posted all over campus in an attempt to alleviate the inevitable confusion. She says the administration knew when the phone system was first put in that students would need to use authorization codes for long-distance sometime in the future, but it was not expected to be necessary until Fall '90. This past semester, 150 students used authorization codes as part of a pilot program. The program was so successful that Longwood decided to give codes to everybody ahead of schedule. Students will benefit from ., ., ,, . ,, the, use~.ofe the .„authorization codes. They will not have to

pay the 80 cents that they were charged for each longdistance credit card call. Calls made with the codes are not taxed. Students will be billed directly through Longwood's Telecommunication System and wm have approximately six weeks to pay their bills, Also, students can use their codes to make calls from any phone in the system. Calls made this way will be charged to the student whose code was used. ThiS is the latest, state of tne art phone system. Each room js equipped for the hook-up of a voice message service. Students whose phones have this feature can call from anywhere and retrieve their messages. There are also many data options available. Students can have contact with host computers, electronic bulletin boards, the campus library's catalog and catalogs of other libraries, and even their parents' PCs. students can even hear the time of day by calling 2730. Telecommunications has also installed thirteen emergency phones in strategic locations on campus. They are marked with red and tan s ri ed ! P "Eme*enry Use Only" stickers. A student who picks ., receiver . _ up the ofr one oif;.these

phones is put in contact with the Campus Police, who know immediately the location from which the student is calling. Sometime this semester or next semester, students will once again be able to use their credit cards if they so desire. They will also be able to make 1-800 calls, According to Ms. Hurley, "this js Just a matter of software adjustments" The Telecommunications Department will soon be offerinS Cable TVi Electronicmail service is expected to be available in the future. Ms. Hurley urges students to be patient. "As with any new system, it takes time to get through it". She encour ages students to call her at 2606 if they have any questions or complaints, need service, or need to report that a campus pay phone is out of order. Students who have not yet received authorization codes may pick them up on Tuesday, January 23, from 4 7 in Lankford Conference Room 2. In the meantime, these students are encouraged to use their calling cards at the pay Phones.

Longwood Water Testing Receives Grant The Virginia Environmental Endowment has awarded a grant of $12,354 to help support and expand Longwood College's water analysis program in Southside Virginia. The grant will fund many of the direct costs involved In the project for a two-year perlod that began last month and will continue to Scptember of 1991. Longwood is funding indirect costs of the program. A letter from the Virginia Environmental Endowment announcing the grant award states: The VEE board commends Longwood College for sponsoring this program as a valuable community service

and an excellent opportunity for students to apply their academic skills. We believe that this program has great potential to stimulate public interest in the local environmental quality of Southside Virginia, and we encourage Longwood to explore new opportunities to inform its neighboring residents about the importance of water resource protection." The water testing project was begun last spring by Keith Johnson, a Longwood chemistry major from Hampton. Working under the direction of Dr. Patrick Barber. Johnson tested 42 samples of drinking water brought in by area residents.

Response to the initial announcement of the water testing service was so over whelming that radio an nouncement had to be aired asking people not to bring any more samples to Long wood for testing, "It was obvious that fami lies in our area are concerned about the quality and safety of their water." Barber said, Cnntrnts uurucitta commcmary. £ewsfeatures ^flen('er" Classim-cis. lersonais Sports

Business Manager Kim Bell

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, On Tuesday evening. December 12. 1989. our students were engaged in a snowball fight on Stubbs Mall. On the first call. Kara Lancaster, had been hit in the eye by a snowball. The second call involved Kate Dunnet who had been tackled by a student, fell seriously dislocating her knee. The I*rince Edward Rescue Squad was called twice to the scene. On the last call as the vehicle drove up. LC students began to pelt it with snowballs. Our squad members tried to assist the injured student, moving down the hill to where she was located. As the squad members were working, the snowballs continued. It is true that no snowballs hit the squad members, but they were thrown around, behind and above them in an intimidating manner. Kate finally was transported to Southside Community Hospital and later that evening had to be moved to Medical College of Virginia Hospital where surgery was performed. As second semester begins. Kate is still at home recuperating taking physical therapy, and suffering some permanent nerve damage to her foot. On duty that night were two Longwood alumni. Donna Grosc( lose. '77. Pat Payne. '73. Jeanne Bedner. R. N..

CPS

and Pete Jenkins administered the necessary first aid to the student. They were in total disbelief that the snowball fight continued in this situation under the circumstances. During the 1988-89 school session, the Prince Edward Rescue Squad made 125 calls to the Longwood campus. Each time an ambulance is started, the cost is $40. This covers the cost of gas. the cost of insurance, the cost of equipment, and the cost of the ambulance. The squad members riding with the vehicle are VOLUNTEERS. That means that these people donate their time without any compensation FREE. The cost to the taxpayers of this county for rescue squad service to Longwood College is $5000.00. At this time no contribution is made to the Prince Edward Rescue Squad by this college; so. Students, you are getting a FREE ride every time the vehicle appears on the campus. We are extremely pleased that we have 14 members on our squad that are students at Longwood College and Hampden-Sydney College. They are dedicated young people who are willing to be a part of this community. At the present time Mark Sarver, a LC December graduate, is the president for 1990. Are there any students at

Longwood College who CARE? Are there any students at Longwood who would offer to assist the Prince Edward Rescue Squad when it arrives on the scene? Are there any students at Longwood who would step out of a crowd and help to control unruly spectators? Are there any students at Longwood who would remove the students that are throwing snowballs? Are there any students at Longwood who would say. "I am sorry" or "Thank you"?. I have been a faculty member at Longwood for over twenty years; in addition. I am a member of the Prince Edward Rescue Squad. The students at LC are special, mature, caring, sensitive, responsible, and concerned. At least, I think so. Am I wrong? Nancy Haga

Today, as I look back on my life and four years in college... I can only daydream. I daydream of all the memories. Memories of the past, hopes for the future. You hear this over and over, but it is so true. You're never gonna have it like you had it in college. I could honestly say if I could change anything in my life. I would not change having gone to

Longwood College. I am Just as proud, as if I had gone to William and Mary. Believe it or not it is just as respectable. So many of you do not understand...College is what you make of it. REPEAT College is what you make of it. You can be a gogetter and get involved, join an organization: AMA; Student Government; a fraternity/sorority; or even hall council. Or Just sit back and let college pass you by and complain about everything and hate being in college. College should be the time of your life. If not, you're missing out on something great. I can tell you this from personal experience, when going on job interviews the question I was most asked was not what my GPA was, or what classes 1 took, but what extracurricular activities I participated in. In fact, on the 35 interviews I participated in. I was never once asked my GPA!! Now don't get me wrong, your GPA is very important but the things that really set you aside from everyone else is what you do outside the classroom. Sometime ago I was asked the question..."What does being Greek mean to me?" And to this day I can stand behind my answer. Being Greek has helped me in more ways than (Continued on page 3)

Renewed Interest In European Travel Foreign study groups say U. S. sludents have immediately responded to the vast political changes sweeping through Eastern Europe by clamoring for study programs in Eastern Bloc nations. They say few such programs will be ready by the summer, however. "We have gotten quite a bit of response." reported Juliette Shapland of the Council on International Educational Exchange in New York. Students, she said, are hoping to see first-hand the recent changes in Poland. Hungary. East Germany and Czechoslovakia. Beginning in the fall of

1990. the CIEE will offer 16week academic programs in Warsaw and Budapest. The programs will cover economics, political science, history and culture. And although they had been set before the recent political changes, course content will now get in to controversial areas, and thus, will be vastly Improved. "There will be a tremendous difference in what courses will be like." Shapland promised. Although it's too early to know what sort of foreign study opportunities will be available in Eastern Europe, many predict a growing number of them.

New Longwood Work Study Longwood College is participating in the new Virginia Work-Study Program which is state-subsidized employment for college undergraduate students. The program, which emphasizes off-campus public service employment, is administered by the State Council of Higher Education. The Council has designated student Jobs in Virginia's public school divisions as having top priority for state funds available under the program. The purpose of the program is to place students into the public school system

as teacher aides, tutors, etc. Funds are available to Dong wood to subsidize wages paid to students employed in the program during second semester 1989-90. We feel that this program has great potential for Longwood and we are currently seeking students to fill several openings in the area schools. Eligibility requirements include being a Virginia domiciled resident, enrolled as a full-time student, having financial need and pursuing a degree in teacher education. Interested students should contact Mrs. Garrett in the Financial Aid Office.

Top Five Of The Eighties So the eighties have ended, big deal. But what do the nineties hold In store for the music-listening masses of Longwood College? Who knows, who cares, and does It really matter? No It doesn't. Since I partied a little too harder than I had anticipated on New Year's Eve. I missed my flight to New York City, tlius missing out on a stellar opportunity to meet the faverave bands that played MTV's New Year gig. So instead of presenting some staid music review. I've decided to do a top five list of the eighties for your reading enjoyment, or to put it more simply, a chance to ponder yet another "Best of. . ." list. My top five picks for the recordings of the decade are as follows: Coming in at number five is "Jed" by an outfit called Goo Goo Dolls. Contrary to popular belief, the band did not acquire the moniker due to their unending passion for stick Ken dolls in the microwave oven, with the temperature set at charbroilnuke. But the band does blend good lyrics with a fiery, highspeed tempo. Goo Goo Dolls sounds like an unholy mix of the Smiths and Husker Du. Standout tracks on this 1989 release include "Up Yours" and "James Dean." The coveted number four spot is filled by the Jesus and Mary Chain. Bursting on the

alternative music scene In 1985 with the stunning "Psychocandy," the Jesus and Mary Chain made music that was comparable to a chainsaw-in-a-tornado sound. Using a hell of a lot of feedback, the Jesus and Mary Chain spawned a number of Imitators Including Ultra Vivid Scene. Of the four LPs that the band has released. "Psychocandy" still remains a stunning testament to a pi oneertng band. Look for the songs "Just Like Honey" and 'The Hardest Walk." What could the number three album of the eighties be? Well since I'm auhoring this article. I'm gonna tell you. The Cure released "Pornography" In 1982 to wide critical acclaim. Just because the critics liked it however, the LP did not fare badly in sales. The Cure cemented a solid cult following here In the good ole U.S. of A., while taking their rightful position as a supergroup In Europe. "Pornography" is a dark and brooding masterpiece of morbid songs that deal with the squalor and pain of love, life and lust. Frontman Robert Smith undoubtedly caused many of his fans to wonder about the state of his mental health. "Pornography" is one powerful album, and the best that the Cure has recorded to date. I must tell you though.

this album carries the Fish MacGlll warning sticker: "Do not listen to If severely depressed, as you may be prone to throwing yourself off of tenth floor Curry." The best tracks on this LP are "One Hundred Years" and "The Hanging Garden." Number two belongs to the veterans of the alternative scene. New Order. After springing back from the death of former lead vocalist Ian Curtis. Joy Division rechristened itself New Order, added on a keyboard player, and history was made. Utilizing the latest in synethesizers and studio effects. New Order began to put out LPs that had the dance club throng moving about. With the release of their 1987 retrospective "Substance — 1987." New Order gave the public a two compact disc set of previous hits like "Shellshock." "Blue Monday" and "Confusion." The band was also kind enough to Include such rare tracks as "1963." "The Beach" and "Shame of the Nation." New Order tightened Its grip on the music systems o f homeowners and dance clubs alike with the release of "Substance." If you want to move your body in tandem with girl or guy of your dreams and still not be called "pervert!' then this album is for you. At last campers, the number one position, numero uno. eins. eva. un. For you monolingual types, I used Spanish, German. Greek, and French. If I had a drum set I'd request a drum roll, but I don't so I'll Just have to make do. The number album of the eighties is awarded to a relatively obscure band, but that shouldn't remain for much longer, called Dramarama. Oh yes. they're even better than the Sex Pistols and the Celibate Rifles. In 1985 the band recorded "Cinema Verite" and a better album there hasn't been since. "Cinema Verite" Is a lethal combination of witty lyrics and clever rhyming, with a dash of sarcasm thrown In for taste, and the music Is relentless, frentlc. and never loses its edge. "Anything Anything (I'll Give You)" Is a love song that portrays love as it usually is. a desperate act that two people have to do. like shooting up Junk. "I got wasted she got mad/Called me names and she called her dad/I got crazy and he did too/Wondered what I did to you" is a stirring portrait of love and relationStudents enjoy ice cream at the Lankford Beach ships in America.

LongWOOd Ponders

Football By JEN DOOLEY To many students, college athletics may not seem like a very important aspect of the overall college experience. To the coaches and athletes, however, it is a primary concern. The Intercollegiate Athletics Review Committee (IARC) plays a major role in decision — making for Longwood athletics. The committee submitted a report to President Dorrill on January 17. 1990. The primary emphasis of the report was focused on "a proposed move to Division III, emphasis upon conference affiliation, expansion of the array of sports, and a more equitable distribution of limited funds. According to the report, the evaluation of the athletics situation was concurrent with four primary concerns. The committee would like to promote a more diverse student body, continue to promote a close sense of community on campus, expand envolvment of students as participants as well as spectators, and increase Longwood's visibility within the state and region. Consideration with respect to division standing came to a decision between remaining in Division II or changing to Division III. Essentially, there is no major fundamental difference between the two divisions except that Division III does not permit athletic scholarships. The outstanding advantages to switching to Division III lie in the opportunity for teams to compete closer to home than was previously possible. Competition within the state and region would reduce travel costs which, at present, amount to $92,540 (25% of the budget), as well as "develop the kind of intercollegiate rivalries which can have significant influence in building school spirit and

tennis. Men may participate in baseball, basketball, golf, soccer, wrestling, and tennis. The committee suggested a few changes in the variety of sports offered. It was recommended that women's soccer and men's and women's cross country be considered and that the currently offered wrestling and gymnastics be phased out. Two explanations were offered for the latter suggestion: ' 1) Neither sport has much potential for Division II or III competition within our state and region because of the geographic dispersion of institutions currently sponsoring teams, and 2) In comparison with most other varsity sports, neither has involved a large number of students, either as participants or spectators." Based on a concern for the participants and coaches, it was recommended that no change in team competition be undertaken prior to the end of the 1990-91 academic year. The committee also recommended the Introduction of a football program at Longwood. "It would assist in the college's efforts to recruit more males and minorities. Further, it would support Longwood's goal to communicate better its current mission and status as a comprehensive coeducational Institution. It would also provide a recreational opportunity on the weekend which would encourage many students early in the academic year to stay on campus. The committee suggested a one year period of further study before any final decision is made. Installment of the program would not be considered before fall. 1993. The report proposed a few major budget changes. Men's basketball would drop from $24,000 to $20,000. Men's golf would be reduced from community support". $6,500 to $3,500 and softball Based on the afore men- would increase from $6,710 tioned advantages, as well as to $10,000.

UDC seven rebounds. He had four points and six rebounds in the second half, and at times was the dominant rebounder on the court.

UDC used 11 players in the first period, but were unable to wear down the Lancers' seven-man rotation. Amadou Fall scored 14 points and pulled down 14 boards to lead the Firebirds.

PROCTOR

Proctor Wins Title Despite some unsettling news on Friday afternoon. Longwood wrestler Ted Proctor defeated the Southeast Region's number one ranked wrestler in NCAA Division II to take the championship title at 158 lbs. at the Newport News Apprentice Tournament on Saturday. The Longwood squad finished eighth out of 12 teams participating in the event. Chowan Junior College took the team title with Pembroke State finishing second. Just prior to the team's departure from Ixmgwood on Friday, the team and head coach Steve Nelson learned that the sport may no longer be in existence at Longwood after the 1990-91 season. The information came from a report issued by the Intercollegiate Athletics Review Committee (IARC) which has been conducting research on the future of the athletics pro gram at Longwood. The committee recommended that wrestling and women's gymnastics be "phased out" of the athletic program by the end of the 1990-91 academic year. No action will be taken on the report until the February 23, meeting of the Longwood Board of Visitors. "I think the news had a great effect on the team." Nel son said Sunday. They calmed down some when we got to the tournament and they competed extremely well this weekend. This tourna . ment had some tough competition." Ranked second in the Southeast Region in NCAA Division II going into the tournament. I*roctor chose to concentrate on his wrestling, rather than the IARC report. His 4-2 victory in the chain pionship match over number one-ranked Scott Allen ol Pembroke State will mow Proctor into first place In the regional rankings. Nelson said.
