New Security System For Residence Halls By SHERRY GATEWOOD This summer, the Housing Office will be installing a new security network in each of our dormitories on Longwood's campus. This hightech system will increase the personal safety of our students as well as help to prevt ill outside crime. The new access system will cost $24,000. It will be financed by the Housing Office and consequently not affect tuition. A "review committee" was established including David Rettig. Director of Housing, two REC's. and three enrolled students. This group reviewed ten separate systems and unanimously chose the "Gibraltar 2000". distributed
by Alpha International Inrorporated. One outstanding feature of the system is the use of keys because they are much more durable than the popular credit-card accesses. Longwood College is not the first to install this system. It is currently in use at the University of Alaska, the Pentagon, and several other buildings. Each student residing on campus will receive a key, complete with a magnetic strip, which will allow them entry their dormitory. A computerized box placed directly above the door handle will "read" the strip and open the door. These magnetized locks will not be placed on the outside doors, but rather will extend
from the lobby. Visitors must enter the lobby ana where the desk aide will call upstairs and verify thai they are to be admitted. The disk is equipped with an override button so that, after clearance, the visitor may gain entry. Currently. Mr. Rettig has formed an Interest committee with nine other students They are debating such ques tions as whether the system will be in use twenty four hours or Just when the desk is closed. He welcomes com ments and encourages any student or faculty member who would like more Information to contact him in the Housing Office.

Less a condemnation of Division III. than Longwood's comfort and dependence in Division II status. it was repeatedly voiced where coaches and athletes stood. Competition and rotarity were often mentioned, but the heart of the Issue was athletic scholarship; Division II has then. Division III doesn't. Additionally some of the logic of the proposals was questioned. Wrestling coach Steve Nelson took Issue with the supposed increased male enrollment football would bring as males have come in conslstant numbers to wrestle for Nelson teams. Teams which, he stated gained their success through strong Instate recruitment. Perhaps the strongest plea came gymnastic from coach Ruth Budd.

By DAVID PARISH While no definite answers were found in the conflicting logic expoused throughout the packed Red, White, and Green Room, it was unquestionably clear of the emotion which demonstrated the event. An open forum to discuss proposals made last week by the Longwood Athletic Review Committee concerning the future of Longwood Athletics was marked by determined pleas against the tampering of Lancer teams. At the center of the controversy is the spectre of football coming to Longwood. While the gridiron sport has an enormous popularity that could carry with it potential spectator (financial) success.

At a time when the athletic budget is being reduced, it seems ridiculous to propose a football team. A football program would cost thousands of dollars to start up, not to mention the cost of building a stadium. There is no guarantee that we will ever have a successful team that will attract quality players or students. Any qualified or talented player is not going to join a newly formed football team without a record. It seems more logical to simply put our support behind the successful teams we have already. We have quality athletic programs and we should continue to improve and develop them. It is only fair to give them the support that they deserve.

pick out my dress to wear to inspirationals. the final parties. I couldn't sleep. I was so excited. But. at 1:30 a.m.. my Rho Chi came knocking on my door to tell me I had received no invitations back to inspirationals. I was crushed. No one understood why I was so upset. I Just couldn't believe it. Everyone said. "Don't worry about it, you don't need to buy your friends' anyway." I wanted to be a part of a sorority so bad! I would have done anything for my sisters and I just didn't know why they didn't choose me— not even one out of three of the ones I went to. I understand that it is very hard for them to choose also but they should at least not make us feel so loved and wanted and then turn around and say. "Ah hah, we're not Inviting you back now." (That's the way it seemed, anyway.) It's Just not fair at all! I don't hate Greeks now or anything like that— I envy them, because I want to be given that chance to be one. The only thing I hate is being told by a bunch of strangers that they hope I make the "right decision" and "walk" to them. They all say "follow your heart— it's your 5ecl8ton/ but when lt c*mes down to it. it's all their decision and all you can do is hope they like you enough. hope you say the right words and maybe they'll invite you into their sisterhood.

Speaks Views By DENISE DAUBENSPECK "The Constitutional Implications of Roe V Wade" was presented by defense attorney Sarah Weddlngton at Hampden-Sydney on Wednesday. January 31. She began with her personal background and explained how she came to handle this particular case. She proceeded to explain the Supreme Court procedures and concluded with a question/answer period. The Roe V Wade case was Weddington's first and only Supreme Court case. She obtained the defense attorney's position by volunteering her time and effort. It began as a principal case, but lacked a plantiff. until Jane Roe contacted a lawyer. The case progressed and became known nationwide. Weddington commented "When I began this case I never thought I would still be talking about it twenty years later." This case is not only discussed.
but continues to be a controversial topic. Weddlngton discussed the biological and moral viewpoints that she encountered. She also commented on numerous cases that used Roe V Wade as backing. One particular case argued that if life began at conception, a person picked up for driving under the influence had the right to add the nine months of biological development to his current age. After concluding her presentation. Weddlngton opened the floor to questions. The audience responded by asking her personal opinion on abortion and questions pertaining to the legal aspects of the case. In addition to answering questions Weddlngton made herself available for interviews and autographs.

9"Iity Of Llfe Study Starts By KEN ROCKENSIES This week, students living on campus will be receiving from their R. A. a survey comprised of two separate instruments: The University Residence Environment Scale (URES) and the Longwood College Quality of Life Study. This questionnaire is designed to gather perceptions about the quality of residence hall life at Longwood. and is part of an ongoing effort since 1984 to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of the living/learning environment on our campus.

The results will be used to identify trends, pinpoint areas of concern, and formulate future residence life goals. Please set aside some time this week for this very worthy task. All answer sheets and questionnaires will be due to your R. A. on Friday. February 9th.

Courtesy of Public Affair* Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, a critically acclaimed play that explores the expert of black musicians In the 1920s and '30s. will be pre sented on Monday evening, February 12. at 8 o'clock In Longwood College*s Jarman Auditorium. The play is set in a Chi recording studio in 1927. The great blues singer, Gertrude "Ma" Rainey. and her band are there to record "Black Bottom." On first Impression. Ma Rainey is a brassy and demanding "star in the grand manner." But beneath her bluster is the knowledge that she is being exploited by her white agent and the white owner of the record company. In the shabby rehearsal room adjoining the studio, the four members of Ma's band talk about their past and the ongoing struggle for survival and dignity. For the most volatile member of the group, that past Included atrocities that have festered In his mind and spill out In bitter speech— "Where the hell was God when all this was going on?" Woven through the emotional intensity of the play Is the music of the blues and what that music means to the performers. As Ma Rainey says: "The blues help you get out of bed in the morning. You get up knowing you ain't alone. There's something else in the world. Something's been added by that song. This be an empty world without
the blues. I take thai emptl ness and try to fill it up with thing."
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, ribed as "brutal and explosive." was the first I series of plays written by An gust Wilson. It won the York Drama Critics' Cil rd for best play in 1985. Frank Rich, writing for The

She died in 1939 and is burled in Porterdale Cemetery In Columbus. A marker at her grave honors her as "Mother of the Blues."
