military books since childhood, severe myopia prevented Clancy from Joining the service, although he did serve briefly in the Army ROTC at Loyola. Clancy's interest in writing fiction resurfaced In 1976 when he read of the attempt of a Soviet Frigate's crew to defect to Sweden. The Idea, he says, rattled around in his head for years. Finally, he imagined the frigate as a submarine and a novel based on the incident began to take shape. The fledgling author completed his first draft in Just over six months. Although Clancy had never been in the military, he boned up on technical knowledge from such books as Combat Fleets of the World and A Guide to the Soviet Navy. His grasp of the material was such that everyone from critics to military and intelligence experts hailed The Hunt For Red October for Its uncanny realism. Other novels by this exacting author are Patriot Games, The Cardinal of the Kremlin, and Clear and Present Danger, his fifth novel, which he claims to have researched in a week. It has been recognized as his best work since The Hunt for Red October. The movie version of Hunt for Red October, Is due to be released in March 1990 under the title Red October, stars Sean Connery as the Soviet Captain.
Special Olympics celebration dance In the gym wrapped up the day's events. Special Olympics is sponsored annually by the Therapeutic Recreation Organization. The group publicized Interest meetings, and many students volunteered to be "buddies". The TRO also sponsors the pre-game events and half-court games when Longwood plays basketball at home.
By DACIA DORRIES Congress this month will start seriously considering a bill that would force colleges to tell students, employees, applicants and their parents how many crimes occurred on their campuses. While many public relations-minded administrators oppose the bill because it could make their schools look bad. a group of college security experts resolved Jan. 12 to oppose it because it would be unenforceable. "We're not in favor of the law because it's not policeable." said Jan Sherrill of the Center for the Study and Prevention of Campus Violence (CSPCV). which concluded its annual conference Jan. 11. Major support for the bill comes from students, parents and faculty members who say they need to know about local crimes in order to protect themselves from them. Currently, only 352 of the 3.200-some two- and fouryear colleges in the country bother to report crimes to the Federal Bureau of InvestIga tion. which tracks criminal activities. The quality of the statistics, moreover, is uneven. While one school may report a crime committed on what is legally a city-owned curb, an other school may decide not to report It as a "campus" crime. Consequently the former college, appearing to be a dangerous sinkhole, may have a harder time recruiting students and faculty members than the latter one. which comes off looking like a relatively pacific oasis of learning.

ommentar Image Of Rescue Gymnastics Seeks Squad Upheld Recogniton
To the Editor. I was recently troubled by a Letter to the Editor in The Rotunda on January 22, 1990, concerning the Prince Edward Volunteer Rescue Squad. It seems that we don't care. We don't seem to understand or conceive that this is a purely volunteer organization, composed of men and women and even our own peers who are as busy or more so than ourselves. They give of themselves unselfishly to help others. We take advantage of the fact that when we have
been hurt or are ill that we have a free ride to the hospital. Members of this great community give donations to support and keep up this wonderful service. As long as we are in college we are members of this community. The rescue squad does not discriminate against us because we are college students. They are here for us when we need them, so let's show our appreciation and support. Debbie Collins
Editor. The Rotunda: I wonder how many nonperformers realize the importance of recognition for a Job well done and for the efforts put into that Job. On Saturday. Jan. 20. the Longwood Gymnastics Team gave an outstanding performance to a large and very appreciative audience, and won a major victory against the Naval Academy. (Contrary to the opinions of a certain infamous committee. the gymnastics team receives extremely large audience support for every competition).

is customary to put a big headline in the paper — something like "Gymnasts Fall Again". Everyone knows the empty feeling of studying like mad for an exam, only to receive an F. Well, that's how our team felt, after fighting so hard to win this meet and receiving no credit for it. It sure doesn't do much for the morale of nine girls and two coaches, who don't think it's too much to ask that for the three home meets at Longwood, we receive a bit of recognition. Ruth Budd.

Preparing For After Graduation By BILL FROUD
Another academic year Is more than half over. For seniors, it is a time for finishing course requirements and looking ahead towards the future. If you are a senior, have you given any serious thought to your "life after Longwood"? Have you begun to research your Job/career options? Do you have a resume ready if the "perfect" Job opportunity knocks on your door tomorrow? For most people. Job searching takes on average 36 months from beginning the search until accepting the job offer. Therefore, if you wait until May to begin, you may not find the job you want before November. Furthermore, in May the competition for Jobs will increase due to other college graduates, like yourself, all suddenly looking for employment at the same time. To avoid this, begin
your job search campaign now. There are many tilings you can do to make your Job search more effective and efficient. Come to the special Senior Job Search Orientation tomorrow evening, Tuesday, January 30 at 6 p.m. in the Career Library. CPPC. 2nd Floor South Ruffner. You will learn about all the Important job search information available within the Career Library and also receive the spring schedules for recruiters, workshops, and special career programs. Take advantage of CPPC programs while you are still here. If you cannot attend this program, at least come visit the Career Planning & Placement Center (CPPC) soon. Hope to see you Tuesday night.

This week, we're gonna look at a band that should have had a hell of a lot more popularity than they did. at least more than the Beatles had. the Velvet Underground. Making an unassuming appearance in 1967 with the release of their album The Velvet Underground and Nico, the band was very different from the other acts that were making music in 1967. in that they said everything "was alright." To hell with Vietnam and political extremism, the Velvet Underground dealt with more seedy issues than those, issues like heroin addiction, coming to grip with the desperate feeling hip. shooting methedrine; ballads that deal with confusion, anger, self-doubting, selfloathing, moral damnation. and the sheer pain of falling out of love^ Verve/PolyGram has re-

leased a 15 track compendium of the Velvet Underground's greatest hits. Appropriately entitled The Best of the Velvet Underground: Words and Music oj Lou Reed, this compendium is a knockout with the original "Sweet Jane" and "Femme Fatale." along with Reed's stark and horrifying "Heroin." a look at the amoral spiral of an addict's descent into a personal hell. Also included are tender ballads like "Pale Blue Eyes" and ' I'll Be Your Mirror." The Velvet Underground a,e'£e foundmg^fatnere ofaT ternaUve/progressive/avantgarde music. Their influence *an be heard in the musical works of Tom Tom Club. Cowboy Junkies. Gang of Four. Echo and the Bunnymen. R.E.M.. the Feelies, Bryan Ferry. Sonic Youth.

With Lou "the scrooge" Reed writing songs about urban decay and drug addiction, based on the works of William S. Burroughs, and musical style that ranged from lush to hard, gritty experiments in noise-rock. along with minimalist rock & roll. The Velvet Underground consisted of the aforementioned Reed on guitar. John Cale on bass, piano and electric viola. Sterling Morrison on guitar, bass and organ, and Maureen Tucker on drums, with Doug Yule replacing Cale in 1968. Sometime model and vocalist Nico sang vocals and songs like "All Tomorrow's Parties." an anthem for the then downtown scene, and the classic "Femme Fatale." Nico's voice was monotonal and her thick accent lent a distinguishing sound to the band likened to the Eurogloom of the early eighties. But. despite the tone of the voice, Nico's vocalizations provided an emotional range that had no limits. Listening to Nico sound off on "All Tomorrow's Parties" put a chill in my spine with that voice singing about decadence, coupled with an ordered sense of music and rhythm, makes the song damned frightening and an aural delight. Hey, this compact disc is one hell of a testament to the genius of a band that should have been more appreciated by the public and the damn critics.
By JIM WOOD I'm a country boy. Never had cable, always the same ol" five. Three networks on VFW and two public stations on Ultra-High. Now, Longwood hath given us free cable service. Oh Boy! "The Beverly Hillbillies" on a hundred different channels! Isn't it kind of funny to realize that you never had it so good before a certain change? Let me clarify that last one. I'd always thought it would be nifty to have the power of Arts and Entertainment or CNN in my hands. Much to my chagrin. I find that when the T.V. is on. it's more than likely tuned to HBO. TNT (I like old "Looney Tunes." especially from the forties), or even worse: yes. eventhough I should stick a shotgun in my mouth after admitting it. I even watch MTV. My God. people are scared of "Ice"? My friends. T.V. is the most horrible drug imaginable! Guaranteed, educational aspects of television are numerous. There is the news, cultural programs (although
usually a collection of windbags taking themselves too seriously) and on cable Nickelodeon offers Mr. Wizard. Mr. Wizard has many things to offer. Why. Just the other day I learned that if PVC vinyl is heated in excess of 300F it emits toxic fumes. Of course, being the kindly teacher he is. Mr. Wizard warned. "Kids, don't try this at home!" Still can't figure out Just what he meant by that. Cable has had such an impact on my life. Just last night 1 dreamed that I was strapped in a chair watching "Remote Control" and when it was "snack time" someone dropped bowling balls on my head. That same dream kept repeating, which kind of makes sense when you think about it. In conclusion. I'd Just like to say: Arrgh! Aiggh! "Now listen to a story bout a man named Jed."

By SARAH RAFFETTO Sixty dollars is a shame to waste. Did you know that part of your tuition goes to the student activities fund? Then the money is divided up between different organizations. Part of the money goes to the Student Union Board. The board is a student run organization that programs events during the school year. The students in the organization are not elected to the positions but are volunteers who spend hours bringing various events to the campus. Whether you go to the events or not you money is still being spent. So it is like wasting your money. Does that make any sense? Some of the fun events your money was used for was an indoor mini golf game, summertime anytime beach party. Regency, and a game show called Blizzard of Bucks.
