How can a college with a student population of over 3.(XM) let these positions go up lor election unopposed' When walking around campus on any given day it is easy to heal students complaining ahout sonic issue or recent event II the current

that many students have given upon the SGA as an effective vehicle to arbitrate these grievances. SGA meetings usually draw only a handful of students and a majority probably could not pick the SGA president out of a lineup. This is not the time to point fingers al any individual or group.

Upon his arrival in 1978, he began as an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Coordinator of Anthropological Sludies, assigned to develop three anthropology classes for the 11 students minoring in anthropology. Today Jordan is Professor of Anthropology and the Director of the Archeology Field School. The program now consists of 24 courses, including Honors courses, internship courses, and the summer field school program. 42 undcrgraduales are currently enrolled.

Unfortunately many cracks in the student representation system has led us down this road. From one point of view it seems that many students, residential and commuter, simply feel left out ol the student government process. This happens when the Student Senate spends a majority of their allotted time discussing "in-house" issues such as dress codes for meetings, attendance policies, and the use of their individual titles. This would not be the case, however, if a firm agenda was set, Whether the topic is student rights, parking, or security, the agenda has to be set by the students. When a firm agenda is not set. a vacuum is created which leaves plenty of room for much of the in-house quarreling mat SGA has experienced tins so tnester. Once again, this is not a slam on

The Stale Theater destruction brought aboul a great opportunity for the Archeology School to show their stuff. Often enough, people do not know what archeology is all about. Many, when asked what archeology details, rambled off stones of Indian burial sites. Egyptian mummies and yes. even dinosaur bones These answers were the reasons Dr. James William Jordan. Professor of Anthropology and head of the Archeology Field School Program, jumped at the opportunity to excavate the Theater she. "I wanted people who hail only heard about archeology to actually sec it." Main street, during the Heart ol Virginia Festival, gave him this chance. On May 7th. 1994, current students from the Archeology Field School, graduates of the program and even a few interested high schoolers excavated the site of the former SlateTheateron Main Sireet.

Longwood Honors its Military Veterans tary veterans. Among our current faculty, there are veterans who served during (he Korean Warin the 1950'sas well as, veterans of the recent Gulf War. In addition, the Military Science department employs several members of the U.S. Army currently on active duty, and runs a training program for future Army officers. Marshall Hall, Associate Professor of History, served in the U.S. Navy from 1951 to 1955. Hall reflected on his service, "My experience in the military I thought very worthwhile. I learned a good deal and always got a fair shake from the Navy. I'm glad I had the opportunity to serve." Hall, who earned the rank of Lieutenant J.G. while with the Navy, also pointed out several Longwood

by Ellen S. Aldcn November 11 ih marks (he annual observance of Veteran's Day. At Longwood we recognize the fifty plus military veterans among our (acuity, and the several veterans win > are now students. According to the Financial Aid office, an average of fifty students a year receive veteran's benefits, many for their own service and many for the service of a parent. Originally called Armistice Day, November 11,1919, marked the end of World War I. In 1954 the name was changed to Veteran's Day to honor veterans of World Wars I and II as well as the Korean War. Now. Veterans Day is celebrated in remembrance ol the service of all mili-

faculty who are also veterans. Among these was Dr. Kitter of the Math Department, now retired. Kitter was a "true hero," according to Hall. Kitter served during World War II, and witnessed the Bataan death march. From the Vietnam era, Ms. Debby Cooper, in the Human Resources Department, served with the Medical Core of the Army from 1969 to 1971, In addition to Ms. Cooper, many other faculty members served during the Vietnam Era. Due to privacy regulations, the employee relations office could not release the names of any veterans, but there arc at least six faculty who served during the Vietnam era. These Vietnam veterans teach in such areas as anthropology, education. English, business, and physical education.

S.G.A. Discusses Safety and Funding by Brenda Huffstutler As the semester comes to an end. the Student Government Association has wrapped up most of the 'ssucs it tackled with . There are a lew things still left to talk about though before the Organization is placed into new hands Safety on campui iaccess control system) was discussed, as well as, the usual allodtions of money. During the November Kth meeting, attendance was low. Idling in lor the vice president position was RobPostel. Andcovering lor secretary was Ashley Balker In terms of safety and security, the acccsss control system was brought up again. According to Jenny Jones. SeniorClass President, "Nothing is going to be done this semester." This was restated from Rick Hurley. The Legal Affairs Chair, Rob Postcl. suggested the security issue should be taken up with the state. Postcl strongly felt, "The state should have gotten back to us faster." There was no way of Longwood knowing that the access control system was not feasible until they were refused. Until more information is given on this issue, everyone will have to w.ut until next semester I-'or Junior Class President, Chris Holroyd, the main issue is just to gel a black key so that he can gain access into his dorm. Fra/cr. Money allocation was also discussed Stephanie Levmc and Rob Postcl have decided to attend the Ninth Annual Black Association Conference on the earlier suggestion by Alon/o Ross The amount requested for this COnfenaca is $390 to cover rcgistralioil fees, rooms, and traveling expenses. Mild discussion arose over the dispersal of funds and traveling costs.

Postel justified wanting clarification of funds dispersal,"I don't want to get kicked out of school for messing with funds." Allison Ross, in charge of campus elections, suggested, "If that's the case, you might want to save receipts." Upon conclusion of the discussion, motion carried for the entire $390. All of the SAFC allocations I or this semester were also approved and passed.

In other SGA news: - December graduates will be able to stay until the day of graduation duetotheeffortsofSenator-at-largc, Sonja Bethca. - Residence Hall Association President, Rob Postel, along with three other representatives will be going to Kentucky this weekend to be part of a Residence Hall Association conference.

Big Brothers and Sisters Are In the Making by Christine Hadermayer On November 2nd. concerned community members gathered to discuss the possibility of a Big Brother. BigSisterprogram in Prince Edward County. The program was originally proposed several years ago, but there was not enough interest to get it started. This meeting, though, brought out 22 members of the community, a large contingent of which were social service agencies, school boards, and churches. Longwood was represented by Dr. James Hodgson, Professor of Sociology, Hilton Hallock who is Director of Student Services, and assistants of Dr. Don-ill. While much enthusiasm was shown for the program, it is still in the works. The overall goal of the group is to establish some form of mentoring program for the children. A steering committee, consisting of eight members from each of the service agencies and churches, is try-

ing to decide the feasibility of the program. Within the next two weeks the committee hopes to sit down and set up a strategy. While it is up to the local chapter as to who gets a 'big sibling', Dr. Hodgson has described it as priority based. Most likely it will deal with children in single parent homes who arc in need of a role model. Longwood's part in the program is yet undecided because of the requirements to be a big sibling. It requires a three to four year commitment of several hours a week. Because of the time schedule of the average college student, it is difficult to make that commitment. Dr. Hodgson has different ideas. He hopes to help out by having the college hold fund-raisers*

One veteran of the Gulf War. Matter Sergeant Knox. who currently tciches in the Military Science department, has been a member of the Army for 19 years. Knox feels that the treatment of veterans by the general public was very good after Desert Storm. Knox served with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment in Saudi Arabia and Iraq He also pointed out the "team building and leadership aspect of military service" not experienced in ordinary life. Did you know that Longwood even had a Military Science program? It may be one of the best kept "secrets" here on campus. Currently 53 students (43 male, 10 female) participate in the Reserve Officers Training Corps offered through the Military Science department. De-

In the midst of the defeat, Cumberland native Roderick Trent played well for Longwood. emerging as the team's leading scorer and rehounder. Longwood. 23-6 a year ago, got in early foul trouble against the Crusaders, a team of former college stars who lost at Kentucky Wesleyan Sunday and at Liberty Tuesday. With LC sharpshooter DcVonne Johnson limited to three minutes time in the opening half by three quick fouls, Longwood trailed 3830 at the break.

Freshman Lcroy Holliman added seven points for the Lancers. Leading the way for Kentucky were former Fcrrum stars Everett Foxx and Walter Webb. Foxx, a 63 jumping-jack with moves and a soft touch, led all scorers with 23 points. Webb added 15 points and three other Crusaders reached double figures. Crusader coach Robby Speerhadjusteightplaycrsavailable for the night, but they were more than a match for Longwood's 16player roster Mike Champion, a 6-10 center from Gon/aga University, shot poorly (2-14), but scored 10 points and grabbed a game-high 12 boards. Foxx, who added seven rebounds, was matched up briefly in the first half with his younger brother William Foxx, a junior guard for the Lancers. The Foxx brothers call Ruthcr Cdcnn, Va. home.

This time of year also means graduation for many Longwood students. Commencement will take place Oil Saturday, December 17th at 11 am in Lancer Gym.

This is (he first year the residence halls have been open to graduating students, and because of (he high demand, (his practice will continue.

The speaker for this December's commencement will be Dr. John Ficgc, president of Eastern Shore Community College and father of Bill Ficgc, who is to graduate this December. Roots says they felt it would be appropriate to have another college president speak. It is an added touch that Dr. Fiegc's son will be graduating. Although Dr. Ficgc has not provided the COOrdi nator with a specific topic, Roots layshe will be speaking on the theme of community, which is die college's theme this year. Until this year, Longwood was Ibfl only institute in Virginia to have a December graduation. The main reason for having a December ceremony is that sufficient student in-
