Digging up a little History By ROB CHAPMAN Not much is left of Morton's Mill — a few stones, a metal contraption that has trees growing up through it. and a mill stone. The evidence that remains is only enough for an archaeologist to enjoy — an archaeologist like Longwood College professor Dr. James Jordan. Located Just outside of Farmville along the Cumberland side of the Appomattox River. Morton's Mill was one of several sites that the Longwood College Archeology Field School has worked on this summer. Jordan, along with 25 students, spent three days digging, excavating and searching for fragments of history that hopefully would provide clues to the origin as well as the destruction of the old mill. Jordan estimates that the mill was constructed between 1819 and 1824 to mill grain — back in the days when batteaux were probably going full force up and down the Appomattox River and local farmers would bring their grain to the mill by wagon.

There is no record of construction of the canal and the dam for the pre-Civil War mill. The only thing left are the fragments of history to prove that it ever existed — pieces of the mill stone, the lock for the mill, the cement foundation of a storage building, and a mysterious well. Jordan and the Archeology Field School have In past summers uncovered countless Indian relics on a variety of sites (most notably the Morris Field Site in Buckingham). And he admits that he is most interested in pre-historic archaeology and the studies of Indian culture, but because prehistoric and historic archeology (which Is the time of European contact and written record) are overlapping, he feels the field school being drawn into historical field. The Longwood Archeology Field School has done extensive work in the Appomattox River Valley over the past eleven years while other areas of the country have served as an attraction for archaeologists. Jordan says that the

Appomattox River Valley is "sort of out here in a no archaeologist land ... so any little thing we can do. even on a small mill like Morton's Mill. Is an addition to an understanding of our past that, in all honestly, if we don't try to do it. the likelihood that anyone else is going to try to do it ... is really very slight." Once mills were as plentiful as churches and were the center of community activity — much like the general store. Now, there's only a handful of these historical landmarks remaining. Jordan says that even if the information that they discover isn't earth shattering, it may be beneficial to someone in the future, long after the field school is gone. One of the key pieces of evidence of the mill's existence, the mill stone, was found lodged under the roots of a tree located on an Island in the canal. "It doesn't look like a big piece of stone, but it took four pretty healthy 19 or 20 year old guys to get that thing up (on the bank)." said Jordan. Although fragmented.

Longwood students dig at Morton's Mill site. the consolidated sand stone has proven to be very durable. Jordan said that one former owner of a mill said that such a stone would wear out the miller instead of the miller wearing the stone out. According to the owners of the property, Jim and Kathy Charleston, tradition has it (Continued on Page 3)

Off the wing

Advertising Manager Having Just adjusted to the idea of a smaller defence budget; one that would cover all of the important systems and maintain strength without extravagance. I was shocked to read the morning papers a few days later. Congress had voted to restore funding to every single program the Pentagon had recommended be cut. Who did they think they were today? Where were all of those bold men who foretold economic doom everytime the Reagan administration asked for an increase in defence spending? Where were those wanna-be statesmen who said we can't mortage our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to pay for our defence today? Where did all of those represenatives who wanted to control the deficit go?

would worry about the deficit later, and restored funding. It's time to go to the mat with the Democrats in Congress. Demand a straight answer from the masters of muddle. Does Congress want to balance the budget or not? My guess is they don't care. The deficit is a good issue, so long as it doesn't require having to make any tough decisions. The majority of the Democratic congressmen who supported the re-funding of cut programs decided to be squishy on the issues, or as they like to phrase it: "I had to re-evaluate my position on the issue, in light of new information." Translation: "I had to change my mind because I didn't ever think this would happen." This is a typical example of Democratic Congressional doublespeak. They don't hesitate to criticize the They went to a committee defence buildup's effect on room and decided that they the economy. But. they don't

want to cut back for fear that their districts would lose money. or Jobs. To paraphrase the Washington Post. "They're against weapons, but pro-Jobs." It is time that Democrats in Congress decided which is more important the well-being of the nation (as they see it). or picking up some votes here and there. Perhaps, they need some advice. My advice to Congress is simple: "Don't prostitute ideology for votes. If you have an idea, stick to it. People will respect you more."

by Mike Whitford A strange thing happened this summer. The Pentagon recommended cuts in their own budget. When I heard this my Jaw went slack. "What do you mean the Pentagon cut its own budget!". I cried out. "Impossible." I was wrong to get angry. Defence Secretary Dick Cheney chose to cut programs like the V-22 Ospery. the F14D and the Mlgetman missle. All of these programs were part of the Reagan administration military buildup. And. all of these programs have two things in common. They are all in the predeployment stage, and the roles each was to fulfill can be executed by existing systems. After some soul-searching I realized that the age of large defence budgets was really over. This is the kinder and gentler administration of fiscal conservatism, spending restraint, and deficit reduction.

INDIANAPOLIS. IN — Tau Kappa Epsilon International Fraternity (TKE). the largest college social fraternity in North America, has voted to eliminate "pledging" in all TKE chapters. The legislation was passed by the undergraduate delegates from the fraternity's move than 280 chapters during the 45th national convention held this past weekend in Indianapolis. Indiana. Eileen Stevens, whose son (a pledge of Klan Alpine local fraternity) died as a result of hazing and founder of the Committee to Halt Useless College Killings (CHUCK) made the following statement during the TKE international convention. "More than 50 students have died from hazing incidents during the last 10 years. Whenever you have a two-tiered system where there are members and pledges', the opportunity for hazing persists. Tau Kappa Epsilon undergraduates have taken the lead in removing that opportunity." Instead of a pledge period, new recruits will be initiated immediately and will have all rights and privileges of full membership. Newly initiated members will participate, along with the other members, in a Membership Development Program which includes three levels of educational achievement. All members are expected to complete these levels in order to main active membership each year. Former President Ronald Reagan and a member of TKE from Eureka College in Illinois is a featured narrator in a new educational video tape series which is included as part of the Membership Development Program.

Each module covers different areas of fraternity education, including: Leadership and personal development, academic achievement, fraternity history and lore, chapter management, organization and structure, member star) dards and responsibilities, and alumni involvement opportunities. The legislation as passed by the delegates calls for complete implementation of the Membership Development program over a two-year period. Full implementation should be achieved by September 1. 1991. "This implementation time will provide us with an opportunity to fine tune; the new program and educate our chapters in its use," said T. J. Schmitz, Executive Vice President and CEO of the fraternity. 'We will also seek the cooperation of all campus administrators and interfraternity councils to modify their current rules so that our new members may be initiated immediately. Several TKE chapters will pilot the new member program this fall, but most will begin using the program after the Spring Regional Leadership Conferences in March and April of 1990. During the conferences, a couple training and implementation program will be presented to be undergraduates in attendance. The issue of eliminating pledgeshlp has been reviewed by the Fraternity Executives Association and the National Interfraternity Conference. All national fraternities are currently reviewing their own membership programs. It is anticipated that other frater nlties will be making similar charges to their membership structure In the near future.

'The Towers." and "My Fathers Stroke." They are best described as dark and smoky, melancholy and brooding works, focused on a

single, representational subject.

The Commission has established these awards, recognizing exceptional talent, to support and encourage the work of Virginia's professional artists, and to keep Virginia a vital place for artists to live and work. The prizes are intended to support Virginia artists in the creation of new works and in their efforts to advance their careers,
