Longwood Feels Campus Organizations give Strong Housing Crunch Showing at Involvement Fair By BETH LORD Longwood is on the rise! Were raising our admission standards, striving for excellence in our academic departments, and planning to expand our campus. But progress has its price. Were also accepting more students than ever before, and students need places to stay. The Housing Office notified 18 new students over the summer that they would have to be housed at the Longwood Motel until on-campus spaces became available. "We made sure we didn't put any freshmen out there, only upperclassmen transfers." said Housing Director David Rettig. A few students in this predicament decided to commute; others Just didn't show up. In the end only 12 people had to stay at the motel. Two were moved on-campus before the weekend was over, and the last was scheduled to get a room this past Friday. Longwood's residence halls have the capacity to house 2.193 students. Currently they are housing 2.365. with many students living in triple rooms. This overcrowding has

been a factor in the decisions of many students to move offcampus. At the present time 750 are living off-campus after having been released from their residence hall agreements or approved through the off-campus lottery. This brings Longwood students Into contact with Farmville residents and subjects them to the town's laws. According to Gerald Spates. Farmville's Town Manager, two laws affecting off-campus students have been expanded. The first was enacted in response to calls from parents complaining about the overcrowded apartments in which their sons and daughters lived. Today, only a single family or 3 unrelated persons may legally reside in an apartment or single family residence, consisting of separate kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom facilities. This prevents overcrowding and serves as a safety measure in the event of a fire or other emergency. The second law states that the (Continued on page 7)

By DENISE DAUBENSPECK A large number of campus organizations participated in this year Involvement/Interest Fair. The various groups assembled Saturday in the Student Union to display memorabilia and promote the organizations. Each of the organizations present agreed that the event was a great way to advertise and obtain new members. Additional comments were made by those participating in the fair. Members of Alpha Sigma Alpha said "the displays show the uniqueness of the different sororities, and how different groups perform ceremonies." Three members of the Delta Zrta Sorority commented "whenever you want to find a pake to get involved, you can, and the fair gives people the opportunity to meet the members behind the organization". A member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity expressed his desire to get more people involved in the community and try to ease the tension between college students and the surrounding community.

The idea for the fair was adopted from a work group at the Longwood Student Leadership Conference. This event was coordinated by Marie Bristow and sponsored by the S.G.A. Preparations for this year's fair began last May and extended into late fall. In early spring a memorandum was distributed to various campus organizations detailing the purpose, structure, and deadlines for the project. The introductory letter was followed by an interest meeting In which one representative from each organization was requested to attend. The only formal requirement involved was the completion of an application form used to reserve a display table. This year was the first time the Interest Fair was combined with Involvement Week. This week numerous events were scheduled to arouse interest and participation among the student body. The events available included the Steven Wright concert. Xlaopo Hung's lecture on the China Student Protest. Al Romes and Gary Stevens per-

formance, the lip sync contest, and the presentation of "Gorillas in the Mist." (Unfortunately, the move was cancelled due to technical difficulties.) Those who attended these events received a raffle ticket that qualified them for numerous prizes, including Longwood cups. mugs, keychains. teddy bears, pillows, sweatshirts, and twenty to thirty dollar gift certificates. These prizes were awarded at the conclusion of the Involvement Fair. Several organizations felt the success of the fair depended upon its location and wished the weather had permitted an outdoor affair. Despite the location and desire for a better turn out. the fair appeared to be successful.

Letters to the Editor

Business Manager Sarah Tetterton

Concern for Writing Skills Dear Editor We are constantly trying to Improve our educational system. We provide computer classes, pre-business classes and psychology classes so our children can be better prepared for life. These classes have much to offer, unfortunately basic skills such as writing are getting lost In the scuffle. For our children's sake we cannot forget the fundamentals. Advanced college preparatory classes should have a basis In writing classes since writing is a basic form of communication. A student may take college prep classes and realize that those classes aren't helping him/her in their English 101

class where basic writing skills are required. There are many aspects of writing that are key to a person's success. Proper grammar Is necessary in speaking and writing effectively. If one is to get their point across, they must be able to organize their thoughts. The ability to write clear, concise memos and business letters are important In a professional and every day setting. A muddled letter can cost someone a major account, or It can hinder warranteed work on a new dryer. Writing classes should be thorough for our children's best Interest. Another Important point to remember is that every teacher should

emphasize writing in their classes. Assignments that include writing essays, research papers, business letters, or any other writing assignment can only help students. Practice in good writing skills is key to good communication skills. Writing effectively should be stressed on the same level as speaking effectively. There are many different forms of writing, and all of them are important. As teachers we do our students a favor If we assign written tasks. The student sees that we think writing is important to learn, and our editing their papers, a crucial atep in teaching effective writing. shows them we really read

To the Editor As a future teacher of writing I would like to express my concerns and values about the importance of writing. I belive there are too many young adults sitting in the high school classroom thinking."! don't need to learn this. I'll never have to write for my job." There are most likely a few college students with this same attitude as well. Everyone in our society will have to put what they need to say into words at one time or another regardless of their profession. Suppose you are

traveling and have a bad experience with the airline you chose or the hotel where you stayed. You may want to make the administration of these businesses aware of the problem so they can correct it; you may want to request a refund from the company; or you may Just want to warn others so they can avoid making the same mistake you did. Phone calls will probably not be effective. A letter, when written clearly and directly, however, will probably produce the effect you want. There are other reasons for

learning to write. At one time or another you may need something (a scholarship, a loan), and an essay expressing your needs and desires may be in order. If you can say what you want to convey clearly and efficiently, you will have increased your chances of getting what you want one hundred per cent.

their papers while it helps them Improve their writing. Teachers are supposed to prepare students for adulthood, and adults are expected to be able to express themselves on paper. It cannot be emphasized enough how important good writing skills are. People are expected to be able to communicate through the written word, and this skill must be taught thoroughly in school. A 4.0 In pre-buslness classes Is no substitute for a 4.0 in a creative writing class. As elementary and high school teachers it is our duty to maive sure our students are competent in their writing skills. A future teacher

a misconception that there is a right way to express yourself. There are certain formats used in business letters and essays, for example, but what about stories and poems? Anyone can tell a story well and anyone can write a poem. Unfortunately our schools in America have Instilled in you people's minds that there are right ways and wrong The most wonderful kind of ways of writing. I hope some writing, though, is creative of this can be erased somewriting. So many people say how, and people will become that they Just cannot write.

Huang Speaks on China Crisis By Ryan Heck On Tuesday, September 12. at 7:45 p.m.. Xlaopo Huang, a citizen of China, gave her personal view of the recent turmoil In China and put It in a historical perspective. The lecture was attended by approximately thirty people, predominantly Longwood students and faculty. Mrs. Huang divided her lecture into two main parts: her view of China looking from the present into the past and her personal thoughts on the recent prodemocracy riots in Tianamen's square and the subsequent military actions by the Chinese ruling party. In the first part of her address. Mrs. Huang stressed that this sort of rebellion was common for the Chinese people. She gave as example her own teenage years when she participated in the redguard movement that brought about a restructuring of chairman Mao's government. Also she told how her parents had originally participated in the formation of the People's Republic of China in the early 1930s. Mrs. Huang felt that this trend was due to the fact that China has never had a government which will allow

it to grow and change with its peoples' needs and demands. However, she does not believe that these periodic revolts really have any drastic lasting change. The revolt that put the communists in power really didn't help anything, and the cultural revolution that Huang participated in In 1966 only resulted in Mao being able to get rid of certain elements in the government that he did not like. The students, disillusioned and cynical, were sent away to the countryside for "re-education" by the peasants. As far as the more recent riots in China, Xlaopo has mixed views. On one hand she thinks that the prodemocracy riots are an important step In China's maturation, but on the other hand she feels that the riots, at least for the present, may have slowed progress down. She was impressed by the students' courage and by the support she received from the rest of the Chinese people. She did feel, however, that the students had pushed too hard. She thought the students would have accomplished much more by making compromises with Don Chow Ping instead of

forcing the government to take military action. Mrs. Huang appeared to be rather optimistic for the future, although things may be more strict In China for a year or two. the seed of rebellion has been planted and will come to harvest before too long. It was made very clear by Mrs. Huang that, even though the Marxist socioeconomic of government had failed, any new. more democratic government was not simply going to be a carbon copy of the United States. She said that China must look to the U.S.. to the world, and most importantly to China herself for inspiration. China has her own history, culture, and customs that make it a unique unto itself and which will prevent it from Just adopting from any one country.

published in the Journal of Field Archaeology, in the summer of 1986. However, even though the experiment was somewhat similar, that study focuses on the damage to the projectile points during use. not the actual effectiveness of the weapon. An expert on projectile points. Kenny Roberts, aided in the experiment by knapping the points. The students quickly confessed that the project would have been even more time consuming if they had to do the tedious chipping of the quartz that eventually shapes into what many of us refer to as an arrowhead. They soon found out that the projectile points weren't the only part of making weapons that took lime and patience. "Preparing the shafts for the spears and arrows took a lot more time than we expected." explained Gray. Her companions echoed in agreement. Hickory sapling, bamboo, red maple, and dogwood, were searched out. cut. stripped, shaved, and whittled down to size. Each shaft took about an hour of handling before it began to take on the appearance of a weapon. Duplicating the cordage, used to tie the point onto the shaft, was another tedious task. Somehow, Kathryn was the one to end up finding out that the best material for the cordage was deer tendon. 'The squirrel lntestin-2 rotted." said the biology major without any inkling of disgust. The tendon required some preparation other than Its removal, since it has to be pounded with a rock to flatten it out and then soaked. Rawhide also proved to be good material for cordage. Instead of using super glue or goop. the students, stuck In their authenticity mode, used pine sap to mount the points to the shafts. On L; D»iy, a sheep carcass, don-i'ed'by an area farmer, was used to complete the experiment. The demonstration definitely seemed to segregate the enthusiastic archaeological students from the mildmannered diggers and scrapers. Although many of the students Joined in to listen to the presentation given by the team, few would leave their seats under the shade of a large canopy to view the demonstration from close range. Kathryn and her professor. Dr. Jordan, definitely showed their dedication to their science. She would measure and

record the "effectiveness" of each weapon, while Jordan was on the scene recording every moment of the demonstration with his camera. During the demonstration, five spears and four arrows were launched; however, only one arrow and two spears actually penetrated the carcass. For the casual bystander, it appeared that bringing home the bacon, or the lamb chops, was even more difficult than originally predicted. The students drew a different conclusion. After examining their data, the information revealed that the weapons which did penetrate were the shaper tipped modern replications, suggesting, perhaps, that the authentic points when originally made would have been sharper thus making them more effective. Another factor the students feel made their weapons less effective was the lack of force at which the weapons were launched. After all, these were students, not hunters whose main role In life was providing for their tribe. Interestingly, the cordage made out of the tendon and rawhide held on every launch. On one of the implements, man made fly line was used and it broke, leading one to wonder if fishermen made their own cordage would we have fewer fish tales? As a result of our experiment, it is possible to conclude that prehistoric hunting implements were in fact effective tools," wrote the team in their resulting paper. "If we had time to Improve on our weapon making techniques, we could probably prove that prehistoric weapons were much more effective than the testing done today." they agreed. ' After their study, one has to wonder if the students will stop and think before they ask. 'What's for supper?" Thl» article rrprlntcd from August 23. 1989 Issue of W* Farnwllle Herald

College professors think their students are not very well educated. Three-fourths of the 5.000 college teachers queried last spring by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching said their undergraduate students are "seriously underprepared in the basic skills." preliminary data reveal. Complete results of the survey, which the Washington, D.C.-based Carnegie group conducts every five years, will be released in November. Professors at two-year schools complained most

frequently, with 84 percent saying students lack basic skills. Sixty-five percent at libeial arts colleges said their pupils don't know enough. Two-thirds of those surveyed thought colleges spend "too much time and money teaching students what they should have learned in high school." The data, says Carnegie President Ernest Boyer. prove "the nation's public schools are disturbingly deficient." To boost sagging language skills. Boyer proposed that all freshmen be required to take an expository writing class.
