SGA Elections Big Blunder By Jen Capstraw Staff Reporter 'Hie validity of recent Student (iovemment Association election resuits are being questioned Contusion involving general polling procedure, missing petitions for office, and can didates' names missing from ballots all called for a highly unusual election. According to Article 5, Section l. Part D of the S(i A Constitution. " The specific date, time, and place of S( IA elections shall be decided by Campus Elections chair, with tire approval ot the Student Senate. Information regarding elections shall be publicly announced at least two weeks before the day of elections." The Student Senate did not vote on the date, lime, and location ol the election, nor was the information announced two weeks before the election began. At the polls, proper II) verification was not always, it ever, checked ide first day of elections, (ii eg Rasnake closed pollsearly due to misprinted ballots. Rasnake. formerly SGA Treasurer, who resigned over election difficulties and philosophical differences, realized that names were missing from the ballots when one candidate (whose name was absent) pointed out the error. Everyone who voted that day was contacted and informed thai they were eligible to re-vote the next day when
ballots were corrected. Apparently, a lew petitions lor offieehad been misplaced which caused the omissionol the candidates' names. Also, on the final day of elections. aJudieial Board candidate'snaine was printed in the Honor Board column. (>n a lew of the ballots, a stray arrow pointed the name to the correct column, on others the name was scratched oft and handwritten in the appropriate column, and on the rest of the ballots, the error went uncorrected. No more was done to rectify the mistake Results, too. were questionable A candidate must receive 5lr/< of the votes in order to win (heir office. In the case ol one particular office, a candidate received a maiorily vote, but was shy ol 519 by a lew votes The ballots were counted again, and this nine the vote exceeded 51%. I he ballots were counted a third tune, and were exactly 51'/< Voles must be counted in the presente Of an Honor Board member, w hid! they were, [here was. however, a tune lapse between each ballot COIint, and the unlocked box which ballots were kept in could have easily been tampered with Students gel to choose who they wish to be m these positions. Students, when brought up on charges, or acting as witnesses forotner students, mIN face these people, it is unfair thai they must be tried and judged by
people who may not have attained their positions fairly—people the student body may not have chosen. Shawn Arlington, SGA Vice President, says." Ihingshave lobe handled differently in die future. S( i A is in the process of changing election procedures so these problems will never arise again." Possible changes may include ballot format there may now be space for write-in's and listed candidates' names may be placed in random, as opposed to alphabetical, order. More care will be taken widi petitions of office as well. S( iA members may no longer count votes: S(iA will designate a person whose sole responsibility will be to count the ballots alter elections; it cannot be a voting senator. A permanent judicial branch may also be added to SGA in the future. Presently, a Student Arbitration Board ads as a son of judicial branch, but because lhe board includes a voting senate member, there may be bias Also, this board exists only when needed. Says Aninglon, "It a separate judicial braiichexisted. dicre'sa very gcxid ChBDCe that this election would have been run differently, with stricter rules." I le adds, "I am very concerned about the fair and equal representation of all the students at I .ongwood College."

PERSPECTIVES Student Health Needs Rx By Jen Caps!raw Opinion
For the considerable cost of attending I .ongwood College, students should, at the very least, be provided with adequate health services. I, along with a number of other students, have had only poor experiences with Student Health. Depending on which end ails you, you are diagnosed with either bronchitis or chlamydia. II not. then .Sudaled and Robitussin are the prescribed cure-all. Students have been diagnosed with pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases without any testing, then learned at other health facilities that their problems were much more minor. One student, having been told she was pregnant, informed the nurse that, unless it was an immaculate conception, pregnancy was not possible. The nurse's skeptical response: "Are you sure'!" A similar incident occurred when another non-sexually active student was told, without testing, she had chlamydia.

The opinions expressed in The Rotunda are not necessarily those of the students, faculty, staff, or administration of Longwood College. Signed pieces reflect the opinion of the author. The purpose of this page is to provide an open forum for public discussion of issues, events, organizations, or persons. I recently visited Student Health one Monday, having become ill over the weekend. After waiting an hour, I was told (what a surprise!) to take Sudaled and Robitussin, and ill wasn't feeling better to return on Wednesday. My symptoms did not improve, so I went back and waited another hour. "Well, there's nothing we can do for you," said the nurse coldly as she closed the examining room door, "I would let you see the nurse practitioner, but she has a really had headache today. Come back tomorrow morning before 8:(X) if you want to see the doctor." Though thoroughly frustrated by this point, I returned Thursday morning at Editor, The Rotunda: MS! before someone gels hurl on cam7:40 a.m. I waited half an hour to see a doctor for a whopping three minutes, who sent me on my way with This letter is being written 10 those pus. a couple of prescriptions which I had promptly tilled.

Mother Courage Sloths Along
M u$ic Ifdt68 Fan Mourns Cobain's Death By I.iz Moriarty Staff Reporter Nirvana is no longer. On Friday, April 9, the body of Kurt Cobain. the bond*I lead singer, was found dead in his home. He was the victim of a selfinflicted gunshot wound to the head As with any suicide, so many questions are raised. Why did lie do it? What must he have been thinking? But die questions never really get answers, because they're whisked away with the death of die man who could answer them. Lveryonc makes die generic assumptions ... his alleged heroine addiction, the pressure from his profound fame, his marital trouble with Courtney Love... they had to be the causes of his breakdown and consequent suicide. But who's to say for sure' All we're left with are MTV memories and some truly amazing work from die mind of a musical genius. There seems to be such a void. It's hard to watch all of the old
of people who weren't familiar with Nirvana's work, or really just didn't care, were quickly annoyed with the extensive coverage of die band, growing impatient with those who were actually mourning his death. I, on the odier hand, was appreciative of the coverage, and was glad that MTV paid Kurt Cobain the respect (hat he deserved. It was nice to relive some of die musical events that die band was involved in, and taking a trip down memory lane helped me appreciate Nirvana and Cobain even more. It didn't matter that he committed suicide or "look the easy way out." as some like to say The fact still remains that, in his living years, he made some great contributions to the world of "alternative" (yuck) music. Nirvana is considered the first "grunge" band to have surfaced from the underground of Seattle and make it big, and it look hard work, talent, and musical depth videos and performances, knowing to establish the sound that the hand Kurt's gone now. Ihe MTV images has made its own. make his death seem unreal, because as they Hash across the screen over Joe Tortunato. a junior at I.ongand over again, the pictures make it wood, had this to say about the coverseem M it he's still with us, alive and age: "1 don't think MlV went oversinging boiud. because people should know At first seeing all of the Ml V cov- about what he was going dirough— erage made me sad. because it was |usl suicide and pressure. His death ttx) much to take in all at once. A lot shouldn't be downplayed just because
it was a suicide." I suppose for people to joke about someone's death after the fact is expected; most of us are so uncomfortable with even the thought of dying thai joking about it is die easiest way tocope. As widi any celebrity's death, those who were unaffected by the loss began to circulate the same old stupid jokes that have been heard a million limes before. Only they're not tunny. Some sensitive soul even chose to scrawl, "KURT IS DF-AD" across the bulletin board on the sixth floor of Curry. Although some might laugh at such immaturity, what if it were your husband that had taken his own life? ()r your brodier7 Or your son? When it hits home, the death of anodier isn't so funny anymore.

There were no men to lend a hand because diey were fighting a war. Her eldest son Bilif uxik off to fight, and her younger son. Swiss Cheese, was hit by eleven bullets from a firing squad. Mother Courage was left all alone with her mute daughter, Kattrin, played by Teresa Louise
Regardless of the different attitudes that people take when it comes to his death, die fact of the matter is that Cobain was quite a musician, and from all I've heard, he was a shy and sincere man His music reflected tlie ideals, concerns, and philosophies of many, and his death is truly a great loss. Hopefully, the musical legacy that Cobain never really wanted to create will be cherished and continually honored by his family, friends, and faithful fans

Staff Reporter Lancer Gym was packed die night of April 16 for the step show featuring black sororities and fraternities competing for the right to call themselves the best steppers on campus. The first to step were (he women of Alpha Kappa Alpha. Decked out in black tuxedos and pink hats. AKA represented themselves with an elegance and charm unique to the sorority. Although the ladies only received third out of the three sororities competing, AKA definitely had die most class. Delia Sigma Thett followed widi a performance that was much stronger DST not only stepped well, but they also showed off tlieir beautiful gospel voices. Their singing was as strong and powerful as tlieir stepping. The crowd went wild for DST, especially when the women put down the
rival AK/V without bothering to be polite. Obviously, a lot of hard work and practice went into IXS T's routine, and the sorority deserved first place. Coming in second place was /eta Phi Beta. ZPB'a performance had neither .^owy outfits or put downs for any othersoronty. In fact the ladies of /.I'D should be commended for including in their performance their belief in the importance of unification ZPB may not have stepped as strong as DST or had the class of AKA . but the women of ZPB were definitely the most sportsmanlike and gave a vigorous performance widiout beingcexky.
The Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity performed after the sororities had their turns. The men of A PA could not escape attention—not when they began dieir performance by darkening the gym and stepping in strobe lights.
The women in the crowd went crazy watching APA do its routine with obvious:sexual overtones. Hie men strutted their stuff with a confidence and strength that couldn't be ignored. I Infortunately, APA's competition was either missing or unprepared. The fraternity from Virginia Commonwealth University could not m;ike it for unknown reasons, and Phi Beta Sigma was unprepared for die show but refused to be unrepresented. Two members of PBS performed, but it was obvious the routine hadn't been practiced. As a whole die show was entertaining, but it could have been made belter if competition had showed up from other colleges. List year's step show was much better only because other colleges competed and provided variety for the show.
