Rotunda Parking Problems Plague LC and Others By PAMELA FITZGERALD Staff Reporter As colleges and universities enlarge and put up additional buildings, they are building on potential lots. 'This takes away close-up parking", says Sue Justen, parking division man ager at the University of Washington In Seattle. "As we replace surface lots with ramps and garages, they are more expensive so people are paying more" she admits. The question is how much more. That depends on the school. Here are some yearly permit prices around the country. The University of Arizona students pay $20 for surface lots farthest from campus and $1325 for a "premium" 24 hour reserved spot. At the University of New Mex Ico general student permits are $45. A reserved spot complete with your own "Reserved for (your name)' sign will cost $325. Faculty reserved spaces are $265 at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln and student reserved spots are $150 with remote lots costing $10. The yearly permit prices at Longwood are $20 for students; $25 for full time faculty, staff, and ARA workers; $10 for stu dent teachers: and $12.50 for parttlme faculty and staff.
As the parking problems at I-ongwood, as well as around the country increase, the schools are incorporating a larger number of shuttle services that make for a college version of park and ride. The shuttle services are being used to make better use of remote parking areas. These services are free to the students at Is our bus service. The Farmvllle Area Bus. Some universities are trying to Incorporate different types of transportation. One way. In Art zona. Is the U Pass" which costs students $6 per month. This buys them a 24 hour free access to buses, emergency rides home by taxis and night security shuttle services. Some of the statistics from the campus police department here at Longwood Include 1.602 total parking spaces. 1.114 spaces are reserved for resident students Including the lot be hind Little Caesars. Commuter students are allotted 106 spaces. 341 for the faculty and staff, and 41 spaces for the food service workers. Also, there were 2.427 park Ing decals sold including duplicates. Resident students make up 1.046 of that number; commuter students. 580; faculty and staff, 761: food service
workers. 21: and there were 19 special permission freshman de cals sold. These figures don't equal out. If you place them side by side, you will see that the residents have plenty of parking spaces If they use all of the lots to total capacity. In actuality, there are approximately 68 parking spaces left over If every resident parking space Is occupied by someone who bought a decal. The commuters, on the other hand, have a reason to complain about the parking situation. With only 106 commuter park Ing spaces, there were 580 de cals sold. This leaves approxl mately 474 commuters without parking spaces. Granted, not all of the commuter students are on campus at one time but this number Is very high. The faculty and staff also have a reason to complain about the parking situation. With only 341 parking spaces, there were 76! decals sold. This leaves about 420 faculty/staff without a parking space. At this point, the college has Its emphasis on building. Talks have been underway, however, about moving parking to the outer perimeters of campus but there is no decision as of yet.

LC Implements Vandalism Reduction and Beautification Plan By DINA M DAWSON News Staff With Its new Vandalism Reduction and Beautification plan under way. Longwood is on the path to reaching its future goal as a showplace within the next couple of years. The creation of the new plan to clean up Longwood began last April and has resulted In actions that will affect, or have already affected, not only the campus in general but the student population as well. One complaint made by the administration here at Longwood was that the floors In the dormitory buildings did not shine like the floors In the buildings that house admlnls tratlve offices. Thus, to solve the problem, an extra floor crew that works every night from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. was hired. The crew, which goes from building to building. Is responsible for continually adding extra layers of floor wax and buffing the floors In general. Hiring SUI h workers was an Important first step as Mr. Hurley added that "having shiny floors goes a long way to create an impression." Other things that have been done recently to Improve the look of the college Include adding new windows to Curry and Frazler, making plans to add new ceilings and new floors In Cox and Wheeler, painting the halls in Curry and the Cunningham, making preparations for the rederoratlon and renovation of the commons areas In each dormitory building, attempting
to Improve the lighting In each dorm building, and assigning more community service hours to offenders who perform sm h activities as cleaning stairwells. Ms. Phyllis Mable talked about an Idea that Is currently in the works saying "we are trying to build strong relations between students and housekeepers. If students are fond of the partlcul a r housekeeper responsible for their particular building, then the students might not contribute to messes that would take longer to clean up. Housekeepers may get discouraged when students trash the floor, or the bathrooms are gross. But If the students and housekeepers get together Its a new energy." In addition, a team Including Mr. Rick Hurley, vice president of Business Affairs. Ms. Phyllis Mable. vice president of Student Affairs. Mr. David Rettlg. director of Housing, Mr. Melvln Moore, director of Buildings and Grounds. Dr. Sue Saunders. Dean of Students and others plan to tour the college once a month looking to see If the cleanliness of the school, Involving both the grounds and the dormitory buildings, has Improved. The team also hopes to see a reduction In the amount of vandalism done to the dorm buildings here on campus, as well as cutting down on the amount of cleaning duties the staff has to perform in summer after the students leave Ai Ing to Mr. Hurley there Is "one
million square feet of living space and because the dormitories are usually left extremely unclean" It takes the housekeepers all summer to prepare for the upcoming year.
Usually, extra housekeepers have to be hired, and the overall task Is so hectic that It leaves less time for the housekeepers to prepare for the summer sessions and other conferen

SGA Presidential Candidates
Letters To The Editor Editor, The Rotunda: I'm writing this letter out of concern for my safety as well as everyone else. Just recently ev erybody has been notified about the Incidents on campus, and what is being done to stop these Incidents. We are also told to walk In pairs and how there are red phones around to call dl rectly to campus police for an escort back to the dorm or wherever you want to go on campus. This Is all great to know but using these options and knowing about them are two different things. You're probably wondering what I'm trying to say. I'm saying that the red phones are not doing what we think they do. Some students and faculty be lleve that once you pick up the phone, campus police will know exactly where you are and will come right away. Wrong!! When you pick up the red phone, you have to wait for someone to answer the phone (usually right away) then you have to tell them where you are, where you want to go and sometimes why you're going there. After giving all this Information you are put on hold while they find a campus police officer to come pick you up. Once an officer has been found, It takes five minutes to a half hour before being picked up. The waiting Is not a problem, but when you are standing by a phone to be picked up you are taking a risk If It Is more than a five minute wait. Some reading this will not believe It and others will since It has happened to them. My friend did not believe me either until one night she went with me to park my car. This Is what happened: 12:25 a.m. — picked up phone. It was busy.
Scott Gllsson. Junior. Biology major 1.1st other organizations or activities you are Involved In. Also please note any specific honors won or office held? Sigma Phi Epsllon Fraternity: Rush Chairman. Rush Council: Intercollegiate Soccer; Judicial Hoard; Vice President of Sophomore Class: 1 st Runner up - Best Man on Campus - 1990 Why are you running for this office? Student government Is an Important aspect of collegiate life. It should be run firmly and confront Issues seriously. I feel that I could be a strong leader on campus and represent the student body to the college faculty, administration, and Board of Visitors. If elected what are your future goals or objectives you have to better the student body through your new office? I would face issues such as racism, getting a football team, and Judicial and honor board being run by the administration rather than the students. What do you feel is the role of the Student Government at Longwood? SGA should be an effective voice for students interests on campus. In recent years It has too often been too docile In representing students. How would you Improve the Student Government here at Longwood? SGA is In need of strong leadership and organizational skills. An effective leader would identify student concerns and would on long-term and short-term goals. A solid committee system Is necessary to accomplish these goals.
12:30 a.m. — finally got through and talked to someone 12:40: (we were put on hold, also). 12:40-12:50 a.m. — stood there waiting to be picked up; finally did. During that twenty minutes, anything could have happened; plus we could have walked to our room by then! Don't get me wrong, campus police has done a super Job during my four years here. I've also have had campus police follow me. when driving around, while I found a parking space and waited for me to take me back; however, my friend and I believe that there needs to be more campus police patrolling the area. We also believe there needs to be more phones around campus that are more accessible. For Instance, place phones In the parking lots of Frazer and behind Cox where they can be in a well lit area. Also, phones should be placed along Pine Street instead of having to walk around buildings, like Wygal and HIner. With Concern. Tammy Helm Linda C. Moore Editor. The Rotunda. I am presently incarcerated In a Florida prison. And I have no family or friends on the outside to communicate with. I am writing to you in the hopes that you will publish my letter, if this is at all possible, with further hopes that some of your readers may write to me. I am 31. white, have many varied Interests, and will eagerly answer all replies. Trusting that this letter finds you and all your readers In the best of health, and thank you. Sincerely.

The Political Corner with Keith Johnson Have you ever stopped and asked yourself about education? Sure you have, but what about the problems facing education today? Today we as a Society face increasing rates of teenage pregnancy as well as the dilemma concerning the esralat ing use of drugs by school children. On top of this the United States has had and still continues lo have large tiiiinliei •. of high school dropouts Well, It doesn't take ope long to we why end thus draw their own conclusions For Instance, drugs and that strong appeal for quick profit lure many young teenagers out of school and into the strasts one begins to also wonder If II Is the schools thai .in- in .i need of reform or quite
possibly many of today's par ruts I once eras employed .u ,i local toy store close lo where 1 lived and It was there I began to see some oi the problems being society Parents would come to the in.ill .tnd drop their children oil ioi hours without escorting them and thus the children ran throughout the mall iin.il>.itol
it w.is not long aftei the parents
departure that these children became severe problems. Many of these problems involved larceny, trespassing, destruction of private properly and other se vere offenses. It was not long after that 1 be gan lo see and hear of parents complaining about the eclm ,i tlonal system. Sure, there are problems In education but maybe we as a society should not look to the educational system to solve all of our problems. Maybe the greater problem exists III ourselves ,ui(l the unwillingness of many of today's parents to spend time with their children and show some concern for their proj i We hi.line our politicians and educators, but It is a problem thai cannot be the result of their actions alone. K will lake effort and (arlng by the next genera tion oi parents and today s par entS 10 help solve this piohlcm So. lake time and help alleviate this problem before tomorrow becomes anothei dismal ila\ Keith Johnson is a senior political science major at Longwood.

Darrell Alan Wells. Sophomore, Math and French major List other organizations or activities you are Involved In. Also please note any specific honors won or office held? Member of Alpha Lambda Delta Honorary Fraternity; Herbert R. Blackwell Scholar; Phi Kappa Phi Certificate of High Scholastic Achievement; Member of the Longwood Ambassadors; Member of the Rotunda Task Force Committee; The Dean's list. Why are you running for this office? It seems to me that too many complaints have been lodged against the SGA to no avail. It's time for someone to put student government back on track. It's time for someone to take hold of the reins and fulfill the "general will of the student body." If elected what are your future goals or objectives you have to better the student body through your new office? I will strive to get students more Involved. That Is the primary weakness of our student government. With more Involvement, the entire student body will benefit because of a greater sense of unity and a more exact Idea of the "student will." What do you feel Is the role of the Student Government at Longwood? The role of student government Is to propose and execute legislation beneficial to the student body, present and future. This requires SGA to be Aware of student concerns as well as to Inform the students of crucial Issues. In short, to benefit every Individual culturally and Intellectually. How would you Improve the Student Government here at Longwood? First of all. I would like SGA to become more prominent on campus. In general, what student government does Is a mystery to the student body. I would strive to bring SGA issues to the student body. One method would be to place fryers on the cafeteria tables. Another would be to use The Rotunda as a voice for SGA. Secondly. I would like to see SGA have more voting representation on college committees, namely the College Council. Also. I feel that SGA should restore monthly meetings between SGA leaders and the President of the college. Finally. Ixmgwood has one of the strongest student government constitutions In the state. Let's put It to use!

If I am elected as Vice President. It Is also my goal to facilitate communication between the student body and the Student Government. What do you feel is the role of the Student Government at Longwood? I believe that the Student Government is here to act as a liaison between the students and the administration. Ideally, the Student Government is a representative group of the campus as a whole who would bring varied points of view to light before making a policy decision. How would you Improve the Student Government here at Longwood? As a result of the recent concern of many people on the status of SGA. I hope to improve SGA by working to integrate as many people as possible Into the system. I feel strongly that the SGA is an asset to us. the students, and to our school. Unless we take the opportunities for participation that we are given now. we may not have this opportunity In the future. Seth Johnson. Junior. Psychology List other organizations or activities you are involved In and any specific honors won or office held? Honor Board: Captain. College Soccer Team; All VISA Conference Team as Freshman; Scholarship Chairman of Sigma Phi Epsllon. Why are you running for this office? Because I feel that I have demonstrated my leadership ability on the college soccer team. I am confident that I can effectively lead an SGA which has not operated all that well during the past year. If elected what are your future goals or objectives you have to better the student body through your new office? 1. Faculty class evaluations should be made available to students. 2. Campus beautiflcatlon: Pine Street should be closed and a pedestrian mall created. More fountains are needed 3. Student representation on the college council and departmental curriculum committees. What do you feel Is the role of the Student Government at Longwood? SGA should be an effective advocate of students rights and interests to the administration, the college council, and to Board of Visitors. Too often recently It has not been a voice for students.

I would work hard to Identify student concerns, make them into long-term and short-term goals and work effectively and persistently with the college administration to get them accomplished.

Involvement In activities I feel is important to better oneself, therefore the Longwood student body will be more unified. I also would make sure the students are kept Informed and that all suggestions or opinions are welcome. What do you feel is the role of the Student Government at Longwood? The Student Government works to plan activities on campus to provide the students with enjoyable things to do. It keeps Longwood going with Its functions because the students are pleased, therefore having a positive feeling on campus. Student government also Interacts with administrators to make sure everything runs smooth and successful. How would you Improve the Student Government here at Longwood? I think Student Government officers should make themselves known more. I would like to involve the students by publicizing the SGA meeting, so more students can take part. Last, encouraging faculty and student response to the actions by SGA; to make sure SGA is meeting the needs of everyone. Cheryl Swain. Junior. Political Science major List other organizations or activities you are involved in. Also please note any specific honors won or office held? Alpha Gamma Delta Why are you running for this office? I would very much like to become more Involved in campus activity. I would like to be able to make a difference and get things done for both students and faculty on campus.

Greeks Called to Enact Reforms By JOE HARPER Staff Writer Greek life In the year 2000 will be very easy to describe. Ac cording to Gary Bonas, there won't be any - unless Greeks nationwide reform their patterns. Bonas. Greek Affairs Ail visor at Vlllanova University, spoke to an .ill Greek audience addressing the future of Greek Life. He asserted five points re latlng to the future ol Greek Life. That social Greeks are antl in teUectual and elltlsl are two reasons Greeks are facing tough times nationwide. The others were thai Greeks abuse alcohol, haze, .mil an- guilty of sexual abuse, Bonas spoke In depth on the subject ol date-rape and Greeks' responsibilities eon i cining this offense, The president of Ihe Long wood Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC). Bobby Williams, reacted to Bonas' speech by saying thai on Longwood's campus, Hie major concern among Greeks is alcohol abuse, Even though Williams is imsl (he new alcohol policy. he sees that it does curb abuse at fraternity parties on campus Other steps being taken, said Williams, are stricter ABC laws, which do aid In resolving the
problem. He continued by em phasizlng that Is the responsibility of every Greek to resolve
the situation among oui broth mil sisters Amidst complaints from campus police that the new alcohol policy is harder to enforce than when kegs were allowed. Williams responded by saying that now more than ever il Is ihe fraternities' responsibility to Cnloi i e It. clue lo IFC disc I pi it i. ii % stipulations. Chapters thai violate Ihe code lose chapter room privileges and must do service hours as a result. As for Greeks being elitist, Williams doesn't think thai the whole system is so but rather only Individuals. He points out that every Greek on campus has friends who are not In a Greek
organization. Fraternity rush results this semester were meager, but Williams doesn't see the system slipping away. The numbers can !«■ taken as the Greek System not doing well, but if you look at the positive things the Greek System has done In recent years, it is hard to say that we re in danger. The Greeks play a major part in the governmental system of this campus. I.e. SGA. Judicial and Honoi Board Many members play Vital positions on sports teams as well."
Fall Fashions Hit LC By TAMMI TITCOMB Features Writer As this year's fall fashions hit Ihe stores. Longwood students are quick to grab them up! Fall Break gave students an opportunity to shop, shop and shop and shop. As they sport their new clothes, it Is fairly obvious that LC students are Gap shoppers. Judging from the large number of dark green, mustard and burgundy colored clothes. Besides the typical fall colors — rust, cream, green and brown — other "not so Fall" colors are popular this season. Campus favorites Include magenta, royal blue, purple and lime green. Prints are definitely in style this season, especially with Longwood males. They look good and oh-so GQ in their dark paisley button down shirts. Whether wom with dress pants and bucks or Jeans and hiking boots, this look is hot this cool season! Question — What Is what the •?%!# am I going to wear today?" Answer — a popular expression heard every morning In each girl's dorm room. This expression Is most effective if screamed at the top of one's lungs while staring disgustedly at one's closet. (If you find yourself in this situation, refer to roommates for needed clothing items.) When girls do find something
Guys are also wearing sweaters this fall, though they prefer V-necks. They are a "cool" clothing Item this season according to one male here. Males are also big fans of sweatshirts, and so are females. They are perfect to wear this season as they are nice and warm and comfy. All kinds of sweatshirts have been seen on this campus — college sweat shirts. Greek sweatshirts and sports sweatshirts to name a few. As the leaves change and fall to the ground, colder weather Is fast approaching. IX students are bundling up to beat the cold. Both guys and girls are staying warm In J. Crew and L. L. Bean Jackets. Leather Jackets are still popular on campus and are always In style. Bundle up this fall (It will make your mothers happy) and for Pete's sake, go shopping if you have no *?®#%! clothes to wear! to wear, it Is most likely a sweater this fall.

Do You Know Who Ernestine Harris Is? By ANGELA BOYD Features Writer You recognize who she Is. You see her everyday, but you have never realized who she Is. When you think of the dining hall, who do you think of? Tina right? Well. Ernestine Harris Is bettei known as Tina The ID lady! Tina Harris was born in the Farmville hospital on November 11. 1945. She Is 46 years old. a mother of four and a grand mother of two. She has been married for 25 years. Two of Tina's children work alongside her in the dining hall. How did she get her Job? In August of 1984 Tina left her 10year Job of secretary to the director at the Central Piedmont Action Council and came back
to Longwood College. Tina says. "My most favorite thing about Longwood Is the students." Tina has worked her way up In the pasl two years. Her title: AKA Head Cashier. Her duties Include checking IDs. making IDs, and she Is head of the points plan, it seems Tina is at the dining hall all the time, but she works 10-7 Monday through Friday. During her free time on Saturdays Tina babysits her grandson and granddaughter. Tina also goes dancing and loves to sing. She grew up In the church and was a member of the choir as a child. Tina graduated from Prince Edward High School In 1965 and went on to attend two years of college at Virginia State.
Tina loves living In a small town. She says. "I went to live In Pennsylvania, but after three days my grandmother had to come pick me up because 1 was homesick." If Tina could get one point across to Longwood students, this would be It: Tin not a mean person. My Job requires me to require you to have your ID when you come to eat In the dining hall. I'm not your enemy I only want to be your friend." Why is Ernestine Harris referred to as Tina? When she was little everyone called Ernestine Tinny." The name stuck and later It turned Into Tina. Always remember Tina's famous last words. "Hey Baby, where's your ID?"
Comic Novelist is Coming Back to LC Eric Kraft, the Boston novelist whose writing has been described as both "incredibly beautiful" and "wonderfully eccentric," will make a third visit to Longwood College next week to read from his work and visit classes where his stories are being studied. The reading will be Monday. Nov. 11. at 8 p.m. in room 209 of the new Library at Longwood. The public is invited to attend free of charge. Kraft is the author of The Per-
sonal History. Adventures. Ex periences & Observations oj Pe ter Leroy, a series of eight novellas published from 1982 to 1985 by a small press In Cambridge, Massachusetts. A ninth serial, entitled The Young Tars." is so far unpublished; the author read from that story during his first visit to Longwood in 1987. In February of 1992. Crown Publishers will bring out all nine Peter Leroy novellas In one volume, to be titled Uttle Follies.
The Peter l.eroy stories are about growing up and are loosely based on Kraft's own childhood In Babylon. Long Island. New York. A lot happens lo Peter, and yet not much happens to him. I think life is like that for most people," Kraft said. Critics have called Kraft "a major new humorist" who writes "bedtime stories for adults, recalling the feelings of childhood...all told through the eyes of a grown up who makes fun without ever being mean."

Good News To Russia With Love: Money, Modems Favors And Blue Jeans Seniors By AMY BIRINDELLI Staff Reporter Finally, some good news foi graduating seniors concerned about the road ahead of them: 77% of Longwood •tudenta who graduated In 1990 are now employed In an area directly related to Iheii major. This really is good news in
light of the i'< esalon that's been In lull lorre the past year. The numbei of people being hired has dei reased because s de creasing number of people are getting promotions. Says Bill Proud ol the Career Planning and Placemen) Center, "It's dim cult for graduates to move Into a position righl away because the peopje already In those starting positions aren'l moving ahead Last year, the Career Plan rung and Placemen) Center con ducted a survey of all 1990 Longwood graduates with 49% of them responding. Their results
were Interesting: 82% of 1990 Education majors are now teaching full-time; ioo% of Special Education majors are also teaching ruUtlme; and 93% of Business Administration majors are working fulltime. The majority of the alumni are now making $21,000 to 24.000 a year. This Is slightly below the national average starling salary of $26,458. Most of the Class of 1990 are working In education, medical fields, government agencies, sales, or banking and finance. These results do not correspond with a recent report on Career Movement and Management Facts which stales the Job categories experiencing the most growth: engineers, computer personnel and customer services

At Kansas state University, "Operation Blue Jeans" hopes to collect 1 million pairs of blue and ship them — before Christmas — to the U.S.S.R. feam members are organizing
the projerl as part of their semester work in business strategies. The effort, led by faculty adviser Fred Rice, includes sending letters in small business Insli lules a) more than 500 colleges and inviting other campuses to collect and pack up clean, set \K (able |cans for mailing. 'Americans arc the most gen erous people on the planet, says Alex Randall, who is spearhead Ing yet another assistance effort - sending computer parts to the U.S.S.R. - for the East Wes) Education Development Foundation, a Boston-based charity. They try to help the downtrodden." Earlier this year, when former Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze accepted the
first of loo computers donated to him by Randall's organization, he remarked: This machine will help us do great things." Randall Is zealously combine the country to find used computers, word processors, printers and office equipment for people In the U.S.S.R. From all over the country, hundreds of pieces of used equipment are pouring Into the Boston based foundation. Many of the contributors are from companies that are moving up Io more sophisticated equipment. Among recipients have been Moscow University, the depart men! of economics at Sofia Unl versily and the Czechoslovakia!! Ministry of Education.

Senators Propose Reform in Student Loan Program WASHINGTON (CPS) - If two senators have their way. there could be more money and less hassle for students Irying to get college loans and when Its lime to collect, the IRS can do the Job. In an unusual bipartisan proposal to overhaul federal student aid programs by U.S. Sens. Dave Durenberger (RMlnn.) and Paul Simon (D 111.), existing federal guaranteed student loan programs would be replaced with a new program that ties loan repayment to postcollege Income. "Federal student aid programs need a fundamental overhaul." Durenburger said in introducing the Financial Aid for All Students Act of 1991" on Oct. 22. The proposal would eliminate most of the money that the Higher Education Act
promises to banks. Instead, scholarships would be offered for top students. Pell grants would be Increased and loans would be granted directly to students. The proposal follows a report by the General Accounting Office that said replacing the GSL pro gram with direct loans could save the government $620 million to $1.47 billion a year. The sweeping proposal, which would begin In Ihe 1994-95 academic year, would enable students, regardless of income, to receive up lo $6,500 in loans for the first two years. $8,000 for the last two years and up to $11,000 per year for graduate students. When students complete their education. Ihey would make payments, depending on size of income, to an education loan
account through increased Income tax withholding by their
employer. The Durenberger-Slmon pro posal Is currently being offered as an amendment before the Senate Education and Labor Subcommittee, which is working on reauthorization of Die Higher Education Act. Not everyone is happy with the Durenberger Simon pro posal. Education Secretary Lamar Alexander opposed direct loan programs In a letter to U.S. Rep. William Ford (D Mich.) earlier In October. Alexander says the programs would increase the current fed eral debt by more than $10 billion per year and would eliminate risk sharing features that the current loans system has to help insure efficient loan ser vicing.

After compiling a record of 10-17 last year, ninth year head coat li Shirley Duncan, assisted by Loretta Coughlln, sees several good points concerning the Lady ! .me en this year, but also must face KVeral negatives as well. First, the good. I,ongwood returns nine players, three of whom are returning starters. Additionally, the Lady Lancers have five seniors, who give the ■quad good leadership. Now the bad. Longwood has lost All American Carmllle H.nnctte and Ann Callaham. All Barnette did was rewrite the record lx>ok en route to becoming Dmgwood's all time leading cartel scorer with 1.569 points. last spring her number 43 Jersey became only the third Jersey to be retired In Lady Lance: history. Callaham was last seasons third-leading scorer, as well as the leader In BMtStfl and steals. "Obviously, we have some very big shoes to fill." com mented Duncan. "But everyone returning saw lots of action last in. Our live seniors give us an experienced team." Additionally, the Lady Lancers face a challenging schedule. Besides playing In tournaments In North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Longwood plays 10 other games on the road. Among the returning starters are senior co captain Salene Green and sophomore Cassle Ensley. Green, a 5-11 forward, averaged 9 points and 7.4 rebounds last year. She led the •quad With 199 rebounds. A third year captain. Green Is a leadei l«>th on and off the court.
Delllnger,
"Salene Is a dedicated team member and plays with ■ lot ol determination." says Duncan. She has developed Into a very smart player." Ensley. a 5 6 guard. Is the leading returning scorer. She averaged 11.1 points In her first season of collegiate action, as well as handing out 74 assists and making 35 steals, both M< ond on the team. Additionally, F.nsley led at the free throw line shooting 77 percent. "Cassle Is a smart, heady player who can score from out side (team leading 41 threepointers last season), penetrate or dish off." comments Duncan. "She's worked hard over the summer to continue her level of good play." The third returning starter comes from among three players who split time starting a year ago. They include seniors Teresa Carter, Heather Green and Cassle Mullenlx. Carter, a 5-11 center, averaged 5.8 points and 4.6 rebounds. Shooting 44 percent from the field. Carter is the leading returning field goal shooter on the team. Heather Green, a 6 0 forward. Salene's sister, scored 4.7 points and grabbed 4.3 boards. Mul lenlx. a 5-10 forward, is the second-leading returning scorer (along with Salene Green), after averaging 9 points. She also grabbed 4.9 rebounds per game. 'Teresa's vastly Improved and has the potential to dominate Inside," says Duncan. "Heather's strength Is her Intensity on the court, and Cassle Is a good In slde/outslde player, an Intense competitor who hates to lose." Other returners for Longwood Include senior guard Tena Phllbrlck. Juniors Carl Delinger and Mandy Evans, along with sophomore Ana Litton. The 5-7 Phllbrlck. a co-captaln, averaged 5.2 points.

showed signs ol emerging last
season, and could be a force around the basket. Evans, a 5-9 forward, spent last season learning the system after transferring from UNC-Greensboro. She has excellent moves around the basket and should contribute more tliis year. Litton, a 5 8 guard, is the best athlete on the team.

In addition to four returning players. Including starters Joe I.owe and Bryan Weaver. Can has ten talented newcomers to work with.
