A committee of faculty and staff from Longwood will be chosen in the near future to set up guidelines and direct implementation of the program on Longwood's campus. According to information given by Dr. Jennifer Apperson, Professor of Psychology at Longwood, it looks as though Longwood's committee will be adequately challenged. (Continued on page 4)
By LINDA M. NYGAARD Staff Reporter Next week you may ask yourself why trash is being dumped onto the normally Immaculate lawns of our Longwood campus. The answer, of course. Is Earth Day's birthday. On Wednesday. April 22, it will be 22 years since the first International Earth Day was celebrated. This day was estab llshed In the hope that people would become more aware of the problems facing our planet's future, and, as a result, work together toward finding solutions. Today, however, the environmental problems of twenty years ago have only worsened, and the solutions, although Identified, have yet to be incorporated by many in their day-today lifestyles. As Earth Day 1992 approaches, colleges and universities are looking toward promoting their environmental science curriculums and student research projects, as well as dally campus events and lectures throughout the week. For the second consecutive year, the Longwood College Earth Club has planned dally activities foi the week beginning Monday. April 20. so that students can come out and celebrate Earth Day. The week Is designed to not only be educational, but fun for all who attend. •On Monday night. April 20. the Earth Club will host the Cafe. A movie, entitled The Environmental Revolution." will be shown from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. •On Tuesday. April 21. any Interested students will meet at 12 noon by the fountain, outside The Rotunda, for a "Campus Clean Up Day. On this day, students circulate around the campus, collecting and disposing of trash from around the grounds. •On Wednesday. April 22. the Earth Club will have Informa tlonal tables set up around the campus. In addition to various pamphlets and brochures, stu dents may pick up an awareness ribbon to wear for Earth Day. •Also scheduled for Earth Day. beginning at 7 a.m.. Is what Is being called the "landfill event." For this all day evenl,
the Earth Club will collect a substantial amount of trash from around the Longwood campus, which they will consequently assemble In a huge pile onto the lawn between Lancaster and North Cunningham. Earth Club members and Longwood volunteers will then search through the pile to find all recyclable Items. At the end of the day. the percentage of all recyclable materials will be calculated. Students will then be able to witness the large amount of recyclable goods that are needlessly being discarded Into the trash, and are. therefore, adding waste to already packed landfills In the area. As Jennifer Wyatt. President of the Earth Club, pointed out. this waste could easily be prevented "If people would Just take the time to care." •On Thursday night. April 23. the Earth Club has arranged to have a band from Norfolk. "Dying Echo." play outside on Stubbs Mall. Admission will be free. The band is tentatively scheduled to begin around 7 p.m. Although unconfirmed as of press time, there are arrange ments currently In the making for a "surprise band" to also perform that evening. Looking beyond Earth Week's activities. Longwood will offer a special Interest hall for students that are Interested In helping out with the environment, recycling materials, and generally maintaining a clean hall. This hall, which the Earth Club ap plied for. will be on the first floor of Main Cunningham beginning In the fall semester, 1992. Any student that would be Interested in living on this hall next semester should notify the Housing Office early, as stu dents will be assigned as space is available. Longwood, however, is not the only college that is taking mea sures to save our planet. For ex ample. In 1991 at Clark Unlver slty in Worcester. Mass.. the school founded the George Perkins Marsh Institute, the na tlons first university research center devoted to studying the human causes of environmental change and the global re sponses.
The Institute Includes a Center for Technology. Environment and Development: a Center for Land. Water and Society; a Center for Global Urban Studies; and. the Clark Labs for Carto graphic Technology and Geo graphic Analysis. At Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva. N.Y.. several geosclence students are working at various sites across the state to study environmental and ge ologlcal conditions. One group Is studying the effects of chemical waste believed to be seeping Into Seneca Lake from a landfill in the nearby town of Dlx. The local community hopes that the students can determine whether toxic cheinl cals were dumped at the landfill, which has been closed since 1981 after runoff waste was discovered leaking Into a popular fishing stream. A second group Is examining the spread of an industrial chemical through the town of LeRoy's water table following a 1970 train derailment that caused 30.000 gallons of trichloroethene to spill. The chemical, which attacks the central nervous system, was washed away rather than prop erry contained and vacuumed. At the University of La Verne In California, the school recently established a major in Environ mental Management, designed particularly for business stu dents who will soon be dealing with environmental Issues at a rapidly Increasing rate. At Abilene Christian Unlver slty in Texas, the school Just added a interdisciplinary class called Environmental and Technological Science, which focuses on several hot environmental topics - from the depletion of the ozone layer and acid rain to the disposal of hazardous waste. All students are required to take the class during their sophomore year. For those who think that they might be Interested in getting Involved with the Earth Club at Longwood. students Just need to show up at a meeting. The meetings are held every Thursday night at 7 p.m. in the French IV lounge.
Donill Details Thoughts On Three Issuses By TODD BUCHANAN Staff Reporter Dr. William F. Dorrtll. Long wood's president, was recently Interviewed about three Issues on campus this semester. These three Issues are: the new Interview shows on WLCX; the meningitis scare; and Spring Weekend. The radio shows, says Dorrtll, are really a good Idea but what we, as students, must realize is that there are also the opinions of others on the campus. The radio programs should seek a balance between the views of the hosts of the programs and the rest of the Longwood com munlty. He went on to say that the station and Its programs definitely adds positively to the variety of activities offered on campus. Dorrlll's reaction to the meningitis scare was somewhat more In depth. As far as he Is aware, this was the first Ume that Longwood has had to deal with a mass Inoculation and we could only learn from our experience. One problem that he touched on in-
volved Virginias Public Health Department and Its "taking over" of the whole Inoculation process. Dorrtll says that our staff should have shown more assertlveness In dealing with the entire sit ua tlon. Furthermore Dorrtll attributes the need for the Inoculations at Longwood to a previous Incident that took place when an Individ ual from Lynchburg College vis Ited Radford University and the disease was spread. Overall Dorrtll believes that our people handling the Incident did "the best Job they could under the circumstances." As for Spring Weekend. Dor rill agrees that weather was ob vlously a factor, and has been for a while. He believes that to possibly avoid such Inclement weather, a later date for the weekend should be scheduled. Although Dorrtll thinks that Spring Weekend Is very worth while. It definitely cannot be held Indoors if the weather Is uncompromising. Finally, Dorrill stated that he was pleased with all the activities that were able on Spring Weekend

COMMENTARY EDITORIAL
According to our calculations, there are 457 students at Longwood College. Our basis for this assumption Is the number of students who managed to vote in the recent SGA elections. This number Is contrary to the information we have received from the college. According to the administration, there are approximately 3.300 students currently enrolled at Longwood. This editorial Is directed at the 2.400 or so students who didn't care enough to show an interest In their governance system: What In the world is the matter with you? How can you not have an interest in what Is going on around you? Don't you people have any brains? Or any desire to control the events around you? And the really scary thought is that you same Ignorant and apathetic lumps are going to (not) vote In future local, state, and. God help us all. national levels. Perhaps a few of you have an excuse. Deadly Illness Is acceptable. But a lack of caring is not. People talk about the Ideals of democracy, and condemn those countries who hold their people In political bondage. But too many Americans are In a self-imposed bondage, a bondage whose fetters are forged of ignorance and apathy. We must break free of our bonds and become Involved, contributing members of society. This can be accomplished in a number of ways whose ultimate goal is the creation of an informed and active electorate. The failure of more and more people to even read a newspaper is a symptom of a sick society whose death knell Is augured by the election of succeedlngly pathetic public officials. America's obsession with image rather than substance does not bode well for the future of our country. We must learn to look beyond a facade of political correctness In our candidates for office and educate ourselves to explore the issues. For example. Bill Clinton, the Democratic party front runner, has been touted by some as an Ideal candidate for president. But the focus thus far has not been on issues
and solutions. Rather it has been on his alleged allalr with Genlfer Flowers and his experimentation with marijuana while In college. Who cares? How many of you have experimented with drugs? And as to sex. Bill Clinton is not the first potential or actual U.S. President to have dallied (or In Clinton's case, allegedly dallied) outside the bounds of holy matrimony. John F. Kennedy is rumored to have had Marilyn| Monroe (as well as a number of hat-check girls, waitresses, and government workers) as a sexual partner, and Thomas Jefferson's supposed mistress was an African slave known as Sally Homings.

These two gentlemen are continually ranked by historians as two of the best U.S. Presidents. Thomas Jefferson is considered to be the renaissance man of American colonial times and Jack Kennedy has been almost deified recently. Their personal activities had no bearing on their performances. Unfortunately, the electorate is blinded by the mudslinging and personal allegations made by battling candidates of both parties, a situation which exacerbates the lack of focus on issues. However, this situation continues only at the indulgence of the American population. Our ignorance and disinterest as to issues and candidates is seen on all levels, from schoolwide to nationwide elections. Sadly. Longwood students are echoing a national trend of unlnvolvement. There are a few exceptions, however. Most notable in our mind Is Mark Tuetlng. a Longwood student whose political involvement is extensive. Not only does he take an active role in campus governance. Mark has recently become a delegate to the Virginia presidential caucus. We need more people who seize their futures and who will definitely make a difference. And to the rest of you lemmings, take a hint and make your own future. Don't leave such Important decisions as who makes the rules that govern your life to someone you don't even know.

Divinity School Hosts Condom Art CAMBRIDGE. Mass. (CI'S) — The condom has been elevated to the status of art by the Harvard Divinity School. In an unusual art exhibit, titled "Sacred Condoms.'' divinity school students viewed condoms covered with beads, fur. yarn, leather, and feathers. There were condoms filled with honey. There was even one with a tiny baby shoe in it. Karen Norberg. the artist who created the body of condom works, Is a psychiatrist and director of child psychiatry consultation at Boston City Hospital. The Idea Is to move away from the embarrassed, secretive, forbidden kind of association to making (condoms) acceptable," she told the Associated Press. However, the exhibit was open only 90 minutes a day for two weeks at a time when most students at the school were on vacation. A divinity school spokesman said the exhibit was not publicized and was used In teaching students at the non-denominational school how to counsel people about sexuality.

7,000 Letters Means New Zip For LC By CHRISTY MOTTLEY Staff Reporter "Don't forget to write. Here's my address: Jane Doe, P. O. Box 123. Longwood College, Farmville.VA 23901." Everyone likes to get mall. It's depressing to walk to the mallbox, open It to discover that It Is empty. What makes It worse Is when your best friend opens hers and finds four letters! As you said those last goodbyes to family and friends as you headed for Longwood. you most likely gave out your address, in hopes of receiving mall at least once a semester. Recently, there's been an address change for students receiving mall on Longwood's campus. According to Chuck Allen. Postmaster of the Farmvllle Post Office. "On an average there are approximately 7.000 pieces of mall that are forwarded from our office to Longwood each day. That's approximately two pieces per student." At the beginning of 1991. Allen spoke with Longwood's Postmaster, Allen Franklin. Together they worked on obtaining a special zip code for
Longwood College. The first step necessary was a letter of request. A letter was sent to Allen requesting a zip code solely for the school. He then proceeded to contact the proper authorities In Richmond, the state postal headquarters, to begin the process. Approximately nine months later, based on the volume of mail and the number of people, Longwood College was issued the zip code 23909. This new zip code cuts down on additional handling by employees in the Farmvllle Post Office." stated Allen. "All our mail comes pre-sorted from Richmond.

Demographics are the makeup of the show's audience, whose members are primarily between the ages of 18-44. The college audience Is one group the show Is targeting because of the show's sophisticated nature.

By ROSE ANN PITZL Staff Reporter The Longwood Players, performed The Importance of Being Earnest last week. Although the play was not as well attended as comedies have been In the past, it was a success. The lower attendance can not be attributed to any lack of talent by the cast, who brought Wlldens comedy to life with their Impressive mastery of the dialect and grasp of the Victorian time period. The action In the three act play took place In three staged locations. Act one In Algenon flat. Act two In the Manner gar den. and Act three In the Manner House conservatory. This put a great demand on the set designers to create three striking sets, which they accomplished. The set design was spectacular. Due to the scenery change between acts and the length of the play, a 10mlnute Intermission followed each act. The members of the cast por trayed Wilde's upperclass In an Impressive manner, and cap tured the essence of the period In their nuances. It was obvious that they not only understood, but appreciated the subtle humor In Wilde's work, and put great effort into the delivery to Insure that the audience did as well. Some problems with line delivery occurred In the early performances, but Saturday's performance went without a hitch. The Importance oj Being Earnest Is a comedy that centers around the theme of double Identity and deception, a satire of Victorian manners, and mortality. The farce of the play surrounds the frantic activity of two men that fall In love with women who know them under the false name Earnest. David Nelson Richards Is Algenon Moncrleff. an upper class bachelor who. bored with his aristocrat life, sets up a separate Identity for himself In the county. Rick Codding Is John Worthing, who Alegenon discovers is playing the same
+ RESERVE
game, bunburnlng" as he calls It, under the alias Earnest. John falls In love with Algenon's niece Gwendolyn, played by Kate Dunnet. but soon realizes that before he can marry her he must somehow merge his two identities and tell her that his name Is not Earnest. This becomes Increasingly difficult when she tells him that his name Is the main attraction. Algenon places himself In the same boat when he. as an attempt to make both of their lives more Interesting, goes to John's place In the country as John's fictitious brother Earnest. It Is here that he falls for John's ward. Cecily, who, like Gwendolyn falls In love not with the man. but with the name Earnest. The obstacles that the couples must face are the lies between them and two very strong characters. Gwendolyn's mother, performed by faculty member Pam Ai kin and Cecily's governess. Miss Prism, performed by Ann Helm, also hamper the romantic efforts of the two gentlemen. Longwood staff member. Hal Sherman, was convincing as Rev. Canon Chasuble, the devout village clergyman who In the course of the play Is asked by both men that he christen them under the name Earnest. Daniel Ellis had the double role as both Lane, manservant to John Worthing, and Merrlman, butler to Algenon. and Jonathan Church appeared as the footman. Satire can be difficult to exe cute effectively, especially when It Is of this subtle nature. The cast did an Incredible Job and did the script, and all of Its rapid one liners. Justice. The last theatrical performance of the semester will take place on April 25, 27 and 28. It will consist of two Japanese productions — The Nightingale. and A Thousatul Cranes. These productions will take place at different times during these dates, in both the morning and evening hours.

Farmville Joins Fitness Craze By CASSANDRA YELLIS Staff Reporter In a world gone mad with los lng weight and being In shape. I.umvllle offlrlally Joined the craze with the opening of Ultimate Fitness on March 7. Ultimate Fitness started with three Individuals who noticed that Farmville had no facilities for people to work out and get into shape besides those located on the campuses of Longwood and Hampden Sydney. The threesome, who Introduced Ultimate Fitness lo Farmville included. Mark Drlnkard. Hunter and Lewis Martin, all from Ap pomattox. They are not new to the fitness field however. Lewis Martin owns another gym In Appomattox. Drlnkard. who graduated from James Madison University in 1987. owns a convenience store In Appomattox and wanted a change. He remembers having to go off campus to work out while he was in college and worrying about open recreational hours which proved to be an In convenience. Ultimate Fitness is for the town of Farmville as well as the students. Drlnkard stressed "We offer facilities to students they have not had. and an atmosphere more conducent to workng out..." Students may purchase memberships by the month, semester, or school year at affordable prices. Some of the equipment featured Includes some Nautilus, but mostly Pro Line which is
manufactured In Texas. Ranging from a full line of free weights, dumbells, barbells. Incline and flat benches, squat racks. Life fitness bikes, stair steppers and treadmills that are all comput erlzed, there are machines for every body part. In addition to the equipment, there are shower and locker rooms facilities, a pro shop and supplements for those who wish to train more heavily. One real advantage Is that there are trainers available to help people with the equipment and develop programs for their own personal work out. which Is very useful If you are a beginner. The machines are also set up for circuit training, where the upper body is worked out and then the lower body. This way one part of the body can rest while the other part is being used. Along with a full line of weights and machines. Ultimate Fitness offers aerobic classes at many times during the day. es peclally for those who have a hectic schedule. There are six aerobic instructors, several of whom taught aerobics classes at Longwood. The turnout so far at Ultimate Fitness has been good, according to Drlnkard. They are open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the week. 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Drlnkard stated that Ultimate Fitness will begin opening at 6 a.m. on Mondays. Wednesdays, and Frtdajys.

Future Promising In Campus Battle (Continued from page 1) In 1988 Dr. Apperson conducted a study at Longwood concerning sexual assault. Three hundred and fourteen students, randomly selected, were surveyed on the Issue of sexual assault. The results proved Inter esting. At some point in their lives: •59.5 percent of women and 14.4 percent of men have been sexually assaulted by a dating partner consisting being touched, held, or kissed against their will •74.6 percent of men and 61.1 percent of women disagree with the statement that a woman who Is drunk and forced Into having sex Is at fault. •13.7 percent of women have been physically forced by a dating partner to have sexual Intercourse. Overall, both men and women feel pressure to be sexually active, but more women feel comfortable saying no to sex than do men. Men and women have certainly become more sensitized to the issue of sexual assault and harassment with the recent highly publicized and televised trials of Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas and Patricia Bow man/William Kennedy Smith. No longer Is sexual assault a topic that should be kept a secret; Instead people are more aware of
y
e what it is. when It happens, and how to stop It. In another survey prepared by the Longwood Office of Student Affairs In 1990. 3.751 students from eight colleges in Virginia (843 from Longwood) completed surveys conveying their Ideas about substance abuse. •60 percent of the students had regretted their behavior after using alcohol. •40 percent had had unwanted sex after using alcohol. The Longwood results indicated a slightly higher proportion of regular drinkers than the overall Virginia results. The survey also Indicated that the most common drug used amon£ those surveyed Is marl Juar.a, with 45 percent of students reporting using it. The Governor's Task Force on Sexual Abuse and Assault will provide a solid foundation that will aid In improving these problems at Longwood. In the areas of Education. Treatment, and Enforcement, Longwood Is expected to curtail sexual and substance abuse on campus, and hopefully there will be a noticeable Improvement In the near future. The first step is for stu dents, faculty and staff to be come cognizant of these prob lems so that they can work to gether for a solution.
Do something good. Feel something real.
The Court Case (Continued from page 1) That's why many fear Roe v. Wade will eventually be reversed. Most activists don't expect the Pennsylvania case to overturn Roe v. Wade because of the upcoming election. But, Massle and others note that the require ments the court is considering in the case are a major departure from the abortion cases heard in the past few years, the most noted (Rust v. Sullivan) dealing with federally funded family planning centers and the type of information they can give women about abortion. The major departures In the Pennsylvania case deal with the Information a doctor must give patients and the 24 hour waiting period. "There are two parts to the information requirement." Massle explains. "First, either a doctor or referring physician must tell the woman of the na ture of the procedure, the risk of having an abortion, the medical risk of carrying the child to term and the gestation period of the fetus. "Also, someone must tell the woman that the Pennsylvania Department of Health has pam phlets about the unborn child .iiul its development. They must also tell the woman her other options, including the fact that the father could be held liable for financial assistance or that the woman could be eligible for prenatal care through the state. "Finally, they must certify In writing that all this informa tlon has been given to the woman. Massle says. According to Roe v. Wade, a state cannot regulate those things that the Pennsylvania law has spelled out.
"It's another assault on Roe v. Wade, like Webster (v. Reproductive Health Services), where the states are trying to pass more restrictive legislation." Massle says. "Hie (court's) decisions of the past few years haven't been major departures from the past rulings, but they've tended in the direction of showing greater tolerance for regulations." In the 1989 Webster case out of Missouri, the court granted states wider latitude to regulate abortions. "If the Pennsylvania case is upheld, we will see these inroads develop." Massle says. "The court could uphold all of the (Pennsylvania requirements) and still uphold Roe v. Wade." But. after the Pennsylvania case, the battle against Roe v. Wade could become increasingly stronger. Louisiana and Utah both have major antl abortion laws headed toward the Supreme Court that basically provide a direct challenge to the rights guaranteed In Roe v. Wade. Pro-life activists are pushing to have the 1973 case overturned and then will focus on convincing Individual state legislators to limit abortion. Pro-choice activists say they don't want a state-by-state fight If Roe v. Wade is overturned. Rather, they are lobbying Congress for passage of the Freedom of Choice Act. federal legislation that would set a national standard for abortion protection based on the prlru I pies established by Roe v. Wade. If re-elected. President Bush has said he will veto the bill if It makes It to his desk; activists on both sides say they aren't sure whether or not enough congressional members support the measure to override Bush's veto.

The Student Development Office is at it again. Spring break has come and gone, and they have pumped out yet another round of surveys. Approximately 900 students returned to campus to find that they were among the randomly chosen few to receive a golden packet In the mailbox which included not one but three surveys, this time. We are all assured that each and every one Is of the ut most importance. Two of the Instruments relate to Longwood's ongoing data collection regarding the change and development of our students, but the third is something different entirely. A new staff member In the Student Development Office. Onie McKenzle. has designed a student opinion piece that allows us to evaluate the services, offices, and programs that effect our dally lives. She swears they need our evaluation of these programs and services in hopes of making this place the best that it can be Makes sense, I guess... So. if you are one of the lucky ones, be a pal and gel those surveys back to the Student Development Office.

I'm sore! 101 pitches the previous night made me pay this morning. 9:15 a.m. -1 take a long, long hot-shower. I even use the Water-Plk. That damn thing is a gimmick. It doesn't massage me. Just shoots three fat ropes of water at Fire Department speed Into your back. After I catch my breath after having the crap beat out of me in the shower. Todd, Mark, and 1 go to eat at Shoneys. 11:00 a.m. - We leave for the ballpark. Today we play Morris College in a doubleheader. 6:00 p.m. - Being the superior team, we slaughter rule them twice. Pretty much a typical Lancer beating of an opponent, except for one thing. Fellow pitcher Wayne Weaver threw a nohitter. A major feat any time you can accomplish, today put Wayne In the books forever. We arrive back at the hotel. 7:00 p.m. - Mark. Todd. and I went to the mall on Coach's shuttle. Wc wanted to find a new restaurant, but ended up at l'1/za Hut. We talked and ate for a long while, then went back through the mall to find the arcade. After you play a couple of games, we can start giving oral report cards on players, teams, umpires, etc. 1 guess It's a way to pass the time. 9:00 p.m. - We arrive back at the hotel and pack because we are leaving Florence for Columbia in the morning. 10:00 p.m. - A friendly game of cards Is being played, for fun, not money of course. Yeah, for fun. Midnight lights out. Saturday, Feb. 20 10:30 a.m. -We ship out of Florence on time. As I am going through my stuff to make sure Uiat I have everything. I find $17 In my wallet that wasn't there before. Hmmm? I wonder where that came from? 11:30 a.m. - We stop at Darlington Raceway In Darlington. South Carolina. It was pretty cool because I've never seen a super-speedway, nor any speedway, before. Todd particularly enjoyed It because he has two stepbrothers and race professionally. After pictures, etc. we left. 12:48 p.m. - We arrive In Columbia, and check Into the Columbia Northeast Hotel. For tonight, Mark Simon and Todd Howman and I must share a room. Hmmm. Let's see. I'm a senior. Todd's a Junior, and Mark's a freshman. I wonder which two will get their own beds and who will get the cot? 2:30 p.m. - We arrive at the ballpark and do the same old. s.iiiu- old. My soreness Is almost gone, considering I may have to pitch tomorrow. Bill Mart/ and Maik Simon pitch tcxl.iv against Benedict College 9:00 p.m. - We won both games and are on our way back to the hotel Bill pitched well and Mark tied a school record for most strikeouts In a game. I Just tried to encourage everyone during the games, and got In a couple Innings as the play by play man. When he Is not pitching. Bart videotapes our games, a freshman responsibility. I wandered over and Just started commenting on the mike, and the next thing you know, we were In the fifth inning. It kept me In the game, much like keeping the scorebook. or charting pitches, etc. 10:30 p.m. - After eating at some pitiful restaurant called Waffle House, which should be called Awful House, we managed to keep our food down and go to the club In the Hotel. Myself. Todd. Wyatt Fllppen. Bart, and Brian Bassett went down there to shoot pool. It was pretty fun. except for some little weasel running around making sure we paid $1 every time we played. What a Job. b^WJ'nfl l°r money. 12:30 a.m. - Todd and 1 fell asleep, while Mark stayed downstairs In his parents' room.
