The musicians will take their seats, actors will sharpen their voices, and technicians will give the finishing touches to the set All of this effort is to accomplish what seems an impossibility. They plan to breathe life into words and notes, to create another world in the grandest of forms: theater. This will be a world of music, fantasy, wonder, and dreams. The Mikado is a musical requiring a full orchestra, an extensive cast, a large group of technicians, and much more than just hours and dollars. This musical is a reality thanks to the dream of Dr. See MIKADO page 3

EDITORIALS Letters to the Editor:
Alpha Chi Rho Defends Themselves Against Allegations of Sexual Harrassment by Brothers Dear Longwood Community, Students protesting the Alpha Chi Rho bench were on target with signs that were displayed during their sit-in on Thursday afternoon. They are correct; much of the problem is respect. However, it is not about trying to make us, the brothers of Alpha Chi Rho, respect the women of Longwood. We already do. The issue of respect should be applied to those who feel threatened by the brothers who sit on the bench. These people who feel threatened need to gain more self-respect. Our silly, however innocent,
comments are not directed towards you. The comments we make are directed toward our female friends and are humerous and in good fun. A perfect example is my relationship with my "little brother's" girlfriend. When I see her, more often than not, I will make a comment similar to "Hey sweetheart." Then she, more often than not, will respond with, "Hey big daddy." I feel lucky to have such a relaxed relationship with a person I have only known for two years. Furthermore, I will not sacrifice this relationship due to bystanders who feel offended.
Neither will she make such a sacrifice. Another example occurred just recently. One of my fraternity brothers spotted his girlfriend coming out of the dining hall. Upon eye contact, he called out, "Hey baby." Moments later, a female student tapped her on the shoulder and stated, "You don't have to take that anymore. I am sick of it." My fraternity brother's girlfriend turned to her with an odd look and replied, "That is my boyfriend." Needless to say, that was the end of their conversation. This is exactly the prob-

lem: IGNORANCE! I apologize for those who feel we pick on them every time they pass the bench, but we do not. In the email message sent to faculty, staff, and students, students cited comments previously mentioned along with discontent with the "AXP Rating Scale of Women." This is another example of ignorance, because it does not exist! Also mentioned in the e-mail message was "threatening laughter." Once again, I apologize to those who feel threatened by brothers who laugh on the bench. However, we will not cease to laugh whether it is on the bench or any other place. We are not laughing at them. This seems to be an issue of lack of confidence and, as previously mentioned, self-respect.
Thursday during the protest on the bench, one faculty member claimed that we were in denial because we said we do not sexually harass women. Proof that we do not harass women was in the large number of female friends that accompanied brothers on the bench during the protest. We had an overwhelming number of supporters, contrary to the protesters. These were males, females, brothers, and non-brothers. These female students who rushed to our aid are the one's that receive our comments. Some of the girls on the bench felt it was such a misconception, that they began to jokingly make harassing comments to their friends and sorority sisters.

A Reserved Floor for Everyone? by JARRETT HAAS Arts and Entertainment Editor
"¥~Xiversity. It is a concept that M m is preached to us constantly -*_-^as college students; how to appreciate it, how to deal with it, etc. So it should be assumed that, as students living in residence halls, we should be learning to live with people who act different, look different, and have different habits. So where is the diversity in all of the new halls students want? Recently there has been a lot of talk about a drama hall or the great "satisfaction" hall (a hall exclusively for non-drinkers/smokers). Where is the diversity when groups of students with common interests and habits choose to seclude themselves from the rest of us who are so different we can not even live next door? Longwood stresses oncampus life through to graduation. Many find this an unfair rule, but the rule is there so that students can learn to appreciate and grow from the ex-
I
_
periences they gain from other students. How can this happen? Well, you have to have everyone agree to accept everyone else! What's next? Campus tours will have to point out the residence hall for slightly short people who smoke but choose not to drink. Or perhaps a residence hall for "hippies;" they might call it the PEACE hall. The kicker is that our administration will probably feature these new halls for those who choose seclusion in the next catalogue. That is great It will tell how on-campus life promotes diversity then feature all the halls for those who choose seclusion. The answer is simple. Either let every group of "dissatisfied" people have their hall, or simply stop with the idea of diversity. The administration likes the idea of diversity and learning from others. So do most students on campus. If everyone starts gettmg tneir own hall, how can we stop a group of forty people who want to start a "fascist" hall? Think about it

Conflict Arises Between Student Government and Judicial Board By MELANIE BARKER Chief Copy Editor Over the past two weeks, a conflict has risen between the Student Government Association and the Judicial Board. Because of an unprecedented number of hearings, Jeremy DiMaio, Co-chair of the Judicial Board, deemed it necessary to promptly appoint 15
members out of the 30 member board. Discrepancies in the constitution have also come up to impede a quick solution to this dilemma. The constitution states that the Judicial board has the right to create and implement the 15 positions for justices. However, it also states that these positions must be approved by the senate. Since DiMaio has appointed these justices without the
approval of the senate, it was voted to bring DiMaio up on Student Arbitration charges for violating the constitution. Penn Bain, President of the SGA and Judicial Board member, announced his resignation from the Judicial Board to avoid conflicts of interest on this matter. The next SGA meeting will convene April 15 in the ABC rooms. Meetings are open to the public.
MIKADO continued from the front page Nancy Haga. Dr. Haga decided that Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado should be a tribute to and in remembrance of the late Dr. Rosemary Sprague. "Rosemary loved the opera, she loved music, and she loved Gilbert and Sullivan," Dr. Haga said. "Dr. Sprague left an endowment to Longwood College to be used for cultural events on campus, and since we have new people at the college who haven't heard of her, I thought we needed to do something in her memory," Dr. Haga continued, "The Mikado is a three year dream." Guest director Sam Scalamoni was hired by Dr. Haga a year and a half ago. Since March 14, Scalamoni and his wife, Lauri MacMillian have been preparing for the production. For three years Scalamoni has been directing full-time, off-Broadway, in regional theaters and at universities. Lauri MacMillan has many Broadway credits and is designing the 25 full costumes to be used in the production. "This production is encompassing all the art
departments. I think this is going to be the size show they haven't seen at Longwood for a very long time, with an on stage cast of 19, an ensemble . of singers, and a 25-piece professional and student orchestra," Scalamoni said. Dr. Don Trott, chair of the music department and director of the Camerata singers, has spent the semester working with die vocalists. The students with major singing roles have been rehearsing every night for five weeks. The plans for The Mikado have been in motion for years now. Dr. Haga went to many student organizations to attain funding for the $30,000 production. Not only is The Mikado the embodiment of a dream, it will also be a production unlike any other Longwood has attempted. The time and money spent exceeds all expectations, and this musical offers a chance for students and citizens of Farmville to have a first hand glimpse of Broadway. "The Mikado is an experience the students will never have again," Dr. Haga said. She explained her excitement about this unique opportunity. Scalamoni shares in this excitement, saying, "It's going
to be gratifying to the students to be able to entertain the audience," he explains, "The audience is going to come and be entertained. I don't think this is going to look or sound like a college production. With all the professionals working on this project, it's quite a professional show." The students of Longwood College should not miss the opportunity to see such a professional production. The admission for Longwood students is free. The same invitation is extended to the citizens of Farmville. The cost of general admission is $7; senior citizens, students, and LC employees - $5.

Dedication of the Giving Tree Shows Longwood's Commitment to Community Service by SHELLY PERUTELLI Staff Writer
TT"X education of the M M Giving Tree took JL~S place next to the New Education Building this past Monday, April 7. In honor of Dr. Patricia Cormier's inauguration, this tree is to show the college's commitment to community service. "The tree is a symbol of what we will become in the future," President Cormier said. The stone in front of the tree has a message that summarizes what the tree is about. It reads, "As this tree grows, so grows our commitment to serve." "The greatest attribute of Longwood is recognizing,
from the beginning, the college's commitment to the community," President Cormier said. Students involved with the GIVE organization were present to tell what volunteering means lo them. "Volunteering means to me to make a positive impact on a child's life and learn about the community," Jenny Webb said. Other GIVE volunteers have other definitions of volunteering. "Volunteering means to me receiving more than I give," Kelly Coghlan said. The GIVE office places Longwood students in positions that reward them and the community. "Longwood students gain a sense of community and give back to the community in which they live while they are at college," Tammy Covington,

Kristine Palmer, Chair of the Faculty Senate, presented Cormier with a gavel as a symbol of continuation of the Faculty Senate. Another gavel will be passed down to each Chair of the Faculty Senate. The inauguration's theme and date is engraved on the gavels. "The sharing of the gavels are a commitment to sharing communication successfully in the future,' Palmer said.

Longwood To Host CVAC Baseball Tournament Longwood College will host the Pepsi-All Sport Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference Baseball Tournament Thursday through Sunday. The eight-team double elimination tournament will be played at Longwood's Lancer Stadium and Hampden-Sydney College's Yank Bernier Field with free admission for all games. Longwood, 29-7 overall and 15-7 in the CVAC after going 1-3 last week, will play a 3:30 game Thursday on its home field. The Lancers, however, don't know what seed they' 11 be or who they will be playing. As many as four CVAC games, which were rained out Saturday, must still be played to determine the final standings and the seeds for the tournament. Longwood hopes to make up its final two games with Erskine Tuesday, just two days before the tournament begins. Last week Longwood dropped three at league foe St. Andrews 14-4, 6-1 and 4-0 Wednesday and Thursday, before bouncing back to beat Erskine in a single game Friday 9-2. A scheduled twin bill with the Flying Fleet Saturday was rained out and must be played for the Lancers to have a chance to clinch sec-
ond place in the regular season and the No. 2 seed in the tournament. At least one tournament seed is set. No. 1 Mount Olive, ranked fifth this week the Collegiate Baseball Magazine NCAA Division II Poll, is 33-5 and 21-2 in the league. The Trojans will play the No. 8 seed Belmont Abbey (11-35,4-19) at 12:00 Thursday at Lancer Stadium. Lonzwood 9.

After Bassett hit his fifth homer in the second inning, Rhett Pfitzner, Fred Stoots and Shawn Torian hit solo shots in the seventh. Pfitzner hit his 12th homer and added three hits for the Lancers. Cox, Stoots and Torian had two hits each for Longwood. Sophomore pitcher Mike Lewis won his sixth decision of the season, going seven innings for Longwood. Lewis is 6-0 for
