Oktoberfest 1997 L.E.A.F. <**<"Increases P By: JEN GANDY Staff Writer
' hat do clowns, floats, firetrucks, and balloons all bring to mind? The Oktoberfest Parade of course! Crowds began to gather Saturday morning around 10:45 a.m. to watch the parade. Longwood students, many accompanied by family and friends, lined Redford and Madison Street, along with prospective students and their families. The parade included fire trucks, numerous student organizations, clowns, music, balloons, and candy. The parade was a great way to begin the day's festivities.

Longwood Students I Longwood Walk For Worthy Cause Forensks Society Off To A Great Start ^J By: MATT RTNKER Staff Writer
M l very year Longwood fl students raise money ■ J to help with Alzheimers Disease. This year the walk served as a kickoff for Oktoberfest. All of the money from the walk goes directly to Alzheimers research. Freshman Jamie Carroll said, "I wanted to do something that would help the people who suffer from Alzheimers." The walk circled the campus, beginning near the Lancaster building. The
group walked up to the baseball complex, then walked down Main Street back to the Lancaster building. Carroll said, "It was fun to go out there and walk with my friends for a good cause. It was neat to see that college students care for a disease like Alzheimers." The walk was broken up into two groups. The total number of participants was not known, but was thought to be close to a hundred. Brianne Oetzel said, "I went out to the walk for a good cause, there were lots of people out there."

TT Then morningbroke, \/\/ oo Tuesday October 7 V 7, students and faculty *cte in for a treat as they Wy Longwood's main area. Written in chalk were such as, "At least deaths occur each year due to air pollution in the U.S.; Almost 1/2 of all American rivers, lakes, and creeks are still damaged or threatened by water pollution; Americans throw away enough aluminum every three months to completely rebuild the country's entire commercial airline fleet; Aluminum beverage cans constitute 80 percent of all aluminum found in landfills." All of this information is valid and can be verified if one so desires to pursue such an endeavor. The chalking event was done by the Longwood Environmental Awareness Foundation (LEAF) in an effort to educate the Longwood community about the many troubling problems of the present day. One LEAF member exclaimed, "It is important to let Longwood < students know that environmental problems are human problems: air pollution kills people; (affecting
mostly children, the elderly, and people with asthma. Water pollution contaminates drinking water and can kill aquatic life, indirectly hurting fishing industries, etc. Once peopled understand that hurting the environment is, in fact, hurting ourselves, then maybe they will change their perspective and, perhaps, change the world!" ^^^ It should be noted that the worTd population has expanded tremendously within the last two hundred years and is now approximately 5.8 billion and rising (population has more than doubled within Longwood students' parents' lifetime). As population grows — at an exponential rate — natural resource use skyrockets producing more waste and pollution which intensifies the flame of environmental destruction and human suffering. In order to do the chalking, LEAF got the o.k. from Longwood faculty, but another group, or perhaps individual, without permission decided to attack LEAF. This other group wrote threats like, "Eat me liberal scum! Why don't you get in the trash can! Reagan for President 2000! Buchanan for President 2000! This is college not high school! Die Liberals!"

Letter to the Editor: Women's Soccer Team Explains Questioned Actions Dear Editor, We would like to take this opportunity to address the entire Longwood College student body. Recently, the Women's Soccer Team came under fire from the campus for our actions and our appearance on Monday, August 25, 1997. On August 24, we had our first scheduled contest, a scrimmage against Fernrrn College. Following the contest, a member of the Men's Soccer team invited both teams to his family's cottage at Smith Mountain Lake for some swimming and dinner. During that evening, the Women's team got together and discussed the exciting upcoming season. One area we addressed was to find a way to bring attention to our team. Although we would like more fan support from the students, faculty, admin i strators, and community, it appears that our actions on August 25 were not the way the handle the situation. The resulting confusion that the Women's Soccer Team was promoting hazing was something that we sincerely wish had not happened. Our intentions were not to promote hazing, but to express team unity and become more recognized. On behalf of the entire Women's Soccer team, we sincerely apologize for any misconception that was created by our actions. We have also asked the Director of Athletics, Jack Williams, to have the athletic department sponsor a workshop on hazing as soon as possible. He has informed us that he will eliminate one of our scheduled Spring tournament trips and use the money towards the sponsorship of a hazing workshop that will be directed by Student Affairs. Thank you for allowing us to address this unfortunate, but very imrxttant, situation. We trdy hope rJiattois occurerc* has not cast any undue criticism upon c^ team and to nity will continue to support Longwood College Women's Soccer. See you at First Avenue Field! Sincerely,

Alpha Chi Rho- Our Oktoberfest weekend was a successful one. It consisted of pool tournaments and sitting around catching up with the brothers and alumni. The alumni participation was excellent, with about 20 alum coming back for the weekend. Our Kool-Aid and corndog booth fund raiser went extremely well. All together, including fundraisers and donations, we totaled over $500 for the weekend. Saturday night, our 80s party with Alpha Sigma Alpha
was a huge success. The party consisted of 80s music, dancing, and outfits in which the ASAs outdid themselves. Our Oktoberfest weekend was all it was talked up to be. Alpha Sigma Phi- No Report Phi Kappa Tau- So far we have completed 75 service hours for the Longwood campus. During the Oktoberfest weekend, we participated in the Alzheimer's Memory Walk, helped with security for bands, and helped the guests park their cars. We are now in the process of Adopt-AHighway, the FACES project, and Adopt-A-Wrestler at Cumberland County High School. Our National Consultant came down and visited us October 19, and we are looking forward to the upcoming service drive. Pi Kappa Phi- No Report Sigma Phi Epsilon- No Report

Kappa Delta Sorority Celebrates Centennial Anniversary With Founders' Day Gala at Longwood On October 23, more than 150,000 mem bers of Kappa Delta Sorority nationwide will mark an important milestone in their history—their organization's 100th birthday. In honor of the Centennial, Alpha Chapter will host a Founders' Day celebration October 24, starting with a dedication to the clock at 1:30 and followed by tours and a reception. "This is truly a memorable day for all members of Kappa Delta," said National President Elizabeth Wibker.
"As we embark on our second century, it is fitting to remember our vast and rich heritage, and to build on it to make an even more rewarding future for our members. The Centennial is a milestone in which all Kappa Deltas should take immense pride." Kappa Delta sorority was founded October 23, 1897 at Longwood College. The first sorority founded at Longwood and in Virginia, Kappa Delta has charted 194 chapters and more than 470 alumnae associations across the country, and has donated
ing the week when we kicked off the Adopt-A-Campus program. The ASAs and ourselves took two afternoons to clean the grounds of Longwood. Not only did we have a great time, but we helped out Longwood as well. Thursday, we participated in the Alzheimer's Memory Walk and made a contribution. Friday night we had a great party, and we would like to thank the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi that partied with us. Saturday morning from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. we had our annual philanthropy event, the Gurney Push. We raised over $800 to benefit the United Way and the Dave Buchanan Scholarship Fund. Saturday, we were security at the Fighting Gravity show, and we had a great time. We had another successful Chapter Room party, and a good time was had by all. To sum the weekend up, we would have to say it was a productive one.

In honor of the Centennial, Kappa Delta will make a special presentation to Longwood College Friday, October 24, where the first face of a four-sided clock will be unveiled., recognizing Kappa Delta as the first of the "Farmville Four," the four National Panhellenic Conference sororities founded at the university. For more information on the local celebration, please contact Sally Statham at 3953138.
As you can see, the Fraternities on the Longwood Campus are staying very busy and getting involved in the community while still finding the time to have a good time.
respectful to the Longwood community, and a demonstration of the ignorance still present within the Longwood community. Scientific evidence was displayed by LEAF; the other group had no scientific evidence to back their words up — they simply attacked LEAF in order to push their own political agenda. LEAF does not claim any political partisanship; regardless of one's political views, (he environment is something that must be protected to assure the safety of humanity. After all, humans are a part of the environment and can be negatively impacted by its destruction. LEAF'S message is clear: environmental problems are real and cannot be swept under the carpet any longer. Each person can make a difference and working together, great changes are possible. As people walked by the chalk writing on the ground, one voice stood above the rest saying, "These words are a cry for help."
SGA Senate Convenes for October 7 Meeting by JESSICA McCAUGHEY, Rotunda Staff Writer 7The senate meeting of the Stu dent Government Association met, as they do each Tuesday. October 7 at 12:45 p.m. in the ABC rooms of the Lankford Student Union. The meeting began with the Vice President's call to order and roll call. Penn Bain, President of the SGA, went over the special orders of theday. These included the norrun* tion of two new students to committees Next, the officers of each class gave their reports. After the Officers' Reports, the chair of each committee gave their reports. The committee of Constitutions proposed new constitutions for
the new Longwood College History Club and for Young Life, which was described as "a religious group, whose mission is to reach local adolescents." Jeromy French presented the committee report on the publicity of the SGA. French apologized for the SGA's booth at Oktoberfest, saying that the tooth was not what it should have been. "Someone went so far as to call it pathetic," said French. Bain later agreed with French and said, "The booth wasn't up to our standards. We've realized that next year we need to make an effort to improve it" During the new business, it was decided that elections will be held November 4. 5. and 6. Ballot counting will be held at 7 p.m. November 6.

Fighting Gravity Returns To Longwood To Kick Off Oktoberfest Weekend by GREG McCARNEY Arts & Entertainment Editor
V lighting Gravity was the ri headlining band for the JL Oktoberfest Kick Off Concert Friday, October 3. This six piece, Richmond based band has been jamming together for almost 11 years and finally returned to Longwood after a two year drought. Following Longwood's own Hard Left, Fighting Gravity captivated the crowd and played lively music which had everyone dancing. Fighting Gravity has been classified as a ska band in the past, but this assumption is not correct. Although the band has a large ska influence with the up-
beat tempos, the off-beat guitar, keyboard comps, and the smooth sounding fills by the horn section, Fighting Gravity also has hints of R&B, Jazz, Reggae, and even Classic Rock in their music. This potpourri of music styles is what has kept Fighting Gravity together as a unique group with a loyal following. Lankford Mall was packed with people cramming together trying to get close to the stage as Fighting Gravity performed. The crowd danced and sang along to their favorites in the Fighting Gravity catalog. Songs like "Our House," "Land of Ska," "Real World," and "Holida," brought huge waves of cries from the fans. Schiavone "Vonz" Mcgee,
lead singer, was active and lively with the crowd by doing call and response and by borrowing a couple of baseball caps. Dave Patterson, bassist and backing vocals, was jumping around so much throughout the set that he almost crashed through the stage. Fighting Gravity just completed recording their new record which they are planning on releasing in February 1998. This new record will be released on the Mercury Record label and will give Fighting Gravity a larger market for their record. Following this release, Fighting Gravity will be touring and supporting their album. Check Out Fighting Gravity on their Official Web Page at: www.fightinggravity. com

Cooper's Comments On:
Beating the Winter Blues by SHARON COOPER, Rotunda Staff Colunist Maybe you're in denial, running around cam pus in short shorts. Maybe you still have on tank tops, sun dresses, and shorts. Maybe you're even still wearing white dress shoes (I can hear a few of my friends now—eeuuhh!). Well, I've got bad news for you. Winter is coming. We may have a little hint of warm weather a few times in the next few weeks, so go outside when it happens, but don't expect to be pulling out shorts and bikinis. Some people love this time of year—the leaves are still pretty and hanging on to the trees by a thread, but as winter rushes in, the leaves fall and leave naked, dead brances. Sound pessimistic? Well, you may be aching for the hot days of summer (not if you live in an unairconditioned dorm) or you
may be dreaming of playing in the snow, but I guarantee at some point you will get the winter blues. If it hasn't happened yet, you will forgot or lose your umbrella, (or maybe you still think you don't need one) when it is, of course, pouring outside. Or you will want to go outside and run or play in your favorite spot, but it will be just too cold. So, to slow you up from getting down, here's my advice on combating the winter blues: * Leave an umbrella in your book bag or briefcase or whatever you carry. You'll be glad you did. * Treat yourself to something new and warm—maybe that angora sweater you've always wanted, or a new pair of padded gloves. If you didn't get enough of your winter clothes over fall break, then it may be time for a road trip.
•Have lots of your favorite hot drink in your room or house— hot chocolate, coffee, tea are great to have around. •Rent good movies and invite friends over instead of freezing outside at a party, or buy that good book you've always wanted to read. *W6rk out—I don't want to hear any excuses. Go to the weight room or go swimming in Lancer (make sure you have some warm clothes and a hat after you've finished), or take a fitness class—you can sign up at any point in Der. All classes are inside and you don't even have to create your workout •Be thankful you have somewhere warm to go home to. So there's my advice. Maybe we will actually get some snow for once while we're here at school. It will probably never happen, but we can always hope.
Volcano Erupts Onto Video by SARYNA SOMERVILLE Rotunda Staff Columnist When a movie bombs at the boxoffice, the stu dio that released it prays that it will do well on video. This is the case with Volcano. Tommy Lee Jones stars in one of the biggest boxoffice disappoint-

ments of the summer. The movie is entitled Volcano, but there are no volcano's in the movie (strike one). The plot is centered around a volcanic-like eruption of lava. So where does the lava come from? The lava creeps up to the surface from way down in the earth because of constant quakes. Needless to say, no one in California (where the movie takes place) expects lava to creep down their street in the middle of the day. This leads to understandable and predictable chaos. Actually, the entire movie is predictable. Within the first 20 minutes you know (well, I knew) who is going to live no matter what, and who was going to save the day. The only thing I could not predict was how really bad the movie was going to be. Now I understand why Volcano only spent about three weeks in the theater. Volcano is one of the movies where so much money is spent on special effects that the powers that be could not afford to hire decent actors. Of course most actors would look mediocre when compared to Tommy Lee Jones.
The supporting cast of Volcano would look bad when compared to Pauly Shore (strike two). In an attempt to be summer 1997's Twister, Volcano follows the now generic, one word title, disaster film formula (strike three). You know, the movie where man goes against nature and actually wins. The thing that sets Twister apart from Volcano is Twister was a good movie. For Twister, the man against nature thing worked. A lot of its success is due to excellent writing and directing. Twister was exciting, intense, and contained excellent special effects. Volcano attempted to be these things, but failed. A good friend of mine loved Volcano. You may like it also. Yet, I suggest that if you are in the mood for a man against nature film rent Twister or Dante s Peak, another volcano movie. Neither Dante's Peak or Volcano are great movies, but at least Dante s Peak is a volcano movie with a volcano actually in it. Grade: D
From the Rafters: A Look Into What Goes On in Housing by ED BELL, Director of Housing/Guest Colunist ~W~ TTelloooooo Longwood. § m Adrian Cronaur (aka. JL JL Robin Williams) used a similar opening to announce an on going dialogue with the troops in the popular movie Good Morning Vietnam. With my greeting, I would like to begin an active dialogue with you the readers of The Rotunda. As the new Director of Housing, I am interested in hearing your thoughts, questions, ideas, and suggestions concerning the Housing Office specifically, but also about the campus culture and what makes Longwood tick. "From the Rafters" will be a weekly column that will address your questions about housing as well as a running commentary on issues you bring to my attention. I invite your questions and comments to my e-mail address: ebell@longwood.lwc.edu. Each week I will address one or more of the questions about housing and comment on things otherwise offered by interested parties. I am also offering a racquetball challenge to all comers - all skill levels are welcome. If you beat me you get your name in print. If not, you become a statistic. A running box score will be posted at the end of each column.
Though the racquetball challenge will be a way you can talk with me one-on-one, my office door is open to visitors and I welcome an opportunity to talk with your hall or organization about issues effecting your housing and things in general. Question of the Week: How was it decided that the heat would be turned on - or off? This is a good question and one that is dictated more by Mother Nature then administrators. Based upon forcasts, time of year and general trends in the weather, the heat was turned on October 15. This was not just a flick of a switch. We primarily have steam and hydronic heating systems in the buildings. When both systems are turned on or transfered from airconditioning to heat it takes a bit to get a "head of steam" up to warm the place. Equally, when it is turned off, it takes a bit (up to 24 hours) to cool down. Facilities Management has been trying to gage the weather. Though we all love the Indian Summer effect, it can be frustrating when trying to get the temperature right in the halls - this includes the academic buildings. Suggestion: wear a sweater if it gets cool and turn the fan on if it gets warm. We are negotiating with Mother Nature on this one. Racquetball: Ed-0; Challengers - 0.

AIDS Lecture Centers Around College Campuses When Joel Goldman dis covered he was in fected with HIV, the virus which causes AIDS, his life changed dramatically. As he began the emotionally-draining process of calling friends, family, and fraternity brothers, he came to understand the tremendous challenge of life with HIV. Today, Goldman and T.J. Sullivan, a fraternity friend from his days at Indiana University, are touring the U.S. bringing their message to college students from coast to coast. In addition to challenging stereotypes about AIDS, Goldman and Sullivan are teaching students how to reduce their own risk of HIV infection and the risk of their friends. In doing so, their program, "Friendship in the Age of AIDS," has become one of the most popular programs on the nation's college circuit. Since the pair began travelling in 1993, more than 350,000 students have seen the program which blends humor and real-life college scenarios to drive the prevention message home to the college audience. When we started doing this
program in the early nineties, we never had students coming up to us who knew someone with HIV or AIDS," Goldman said. "These days, there isn't a single night when we don't have several students who have a parent, a friend, a family member, or someone close to them with HIV. More and more, students are realizing that if it's not them, someone they know will have HIV." Goldman and Sullivan travel full-time with their program to more than 100 campuses each academic year. Goldman, 34, is based in Columbus, Ohio.
Sullivan, 29, is based in Denver,
Colorado. Their presentation centers around Joel's experience as a fra-
ternity member and the risks he took mixing unprotected sex and alcohol. Sullivan teaches students about alcohol's effect on decision-making, the workings of the HTV virus, and ways students can reduce the risk and prevent infection. The two men have been received so well on campuses nationwide, largely because they speak in a language and from experiences relevant to college students. This is our generation's Vietnam," Sullivan said. "We are
going to be losing our friends if we don't get busy and start protesting. We have to make sure our campuses, and our friends, are dealing realistically with this issue." Sullivan said that although this is not the first AIDS awareness presentation for most of the students in the audience, he believes it is the one that will stick with them. The program often resembles a comedy concert, using blunt language and adult themes to capture the audience's attention. These students really don't expect to laugh this hard at an AIDS program," Sullivan said. "It doesn't take students long to realize that we're not your typical AIDS educators. I think that's why students listen and learn something from us." Goldman and Sullivan gave their lecture in Jarman Auditorium Wednesday, October 8. For more information about HIV and AIDS, contact the National AIDS Hotline (24 hours) at 1-800-342AIDS.

Theatre At Your Fingertips continued from page 7 edy, breath and depth of theatre right here at I.ongwood, most of which is under one roof, Jarman auditorium (don't foxget about Wygal and Lancer Productions, which bring in productions that end up all over campus). Even if you look back just at the last few semesters, Longwood has had all kinds of theatre: theatre that makes you laugh—Parallel Lives, Gttater Tunes, theatre that makes you cry— / Never Saw Another Butterfly; theatre where you could be a kid again— Alice in Wonderland; and theatre that makes you think—Rage, The Falling Man, and LizanL just to name a few. Of course, maybe you have a favorite play, one that has stayed with you long after you' ve left the auditorium. Certainly, the above categories are generalizations—most productions are combinations of them all. They are divided up this way to remind you that really great theatre is here for just about any kind of audience member. The most recent play on campus, Sam Shepard's True West was

at moments both hilarious and touching, ridiculous and serious. Congratulations to Dylan Noebels on his directing debut for Alpha Psi Omega; everyone involved should be very proud. By the way, after seeing the show this weekend, I was amazed once again by the honest acting of a Senior Theatre major, Brent Fox. There were so many other talented actors and technicians involved also. If you haven't been to a play in a while (or at all), you are really missing out If you're a Freshman or a recent transfer, then you probably didn't recognize the plays above. However, you have an opportunity to see years of great theatre. If you're a Senior, well, it's obviously to lale to see the plays of the past, but there are many productions at your fingertips this semester alone.

Hard Left Opens Oktoberfest With Solid Performance i>y GREG McCARNEY Arts and Entertainment Editor
The opening act for the Oktoberfest Kick Off ConCert was Hard Left, a band formed by a group of music majors at Longwood. Hard Left is a hard jamming quintet with a distinct sound incorporating funk, bebop and jazz. Hard Left formed only two months ago and is moving at an extrodinary pace with their
musical creation. Hard Left is composed of a drummer, guitarist and bassist, but strays from the normal band set up by using a tenor sax and vibraphone. Hard Left dos not use a singer either. This leaves the music of each instrument to do the singing. Hard Left's set consisted of covers by bands or artist which have influenced the members. They covered tunes
like "Cold Sweat" by Jame Brown, "Hit it and Quit it," by Funkadelic and many more. Covering artists ranging from Miles Davis to Sly and the Family Stone allowed Hard Left to play with a versitil style of improve solos and let the band showcase their talent. Hard Left will be playing more gigs around campus in the coffeehouse and other such areas.

Carbon Leaf Plays For The Midway Crowd by GREG McCARNEY Arts and Entertainment Editor
The music of Oktoberfest continued in Saturday afternoon with Richmond's Carbon Leaf. Carbon Leaf provided music for the Oktoberfest Midway as people walked and browsed the many booths open by Longwood clubs and organizations. Carbon Leaf played a full hour new material mixed with old and even through in some covers done in their own way. (To the dismay of two loyal fans, they still won't play "Free Bird".)
Carbon Leaf has played many times on Longwood's campus in the past year and has been well received every time. Carbon Leaf will be returning to Farm vi11e later this month to play at Charley's on October 23. Carbon Leaf played to and beyond the expectations of fans present at the show. Carbon Leaf was having a great day with beautiful day outside and was a great feature to have on the Midway. Carbon Leaf will be releasing their new album " Shadows in the Banquet Hall" on October 11. It will be availible on the Longwood Bookstore.

Military Science Program Teaches Barbara Jo Revelle Gives True Meaning of Leadership Photography Lecture by MELANIE BARKER Chief Copy Editor Longwood emphasizes strong leadership qualities, confidence, and the ability to work in a team. Few programs teach these traits like the Military Science program. Close to 60 students participate in the 23 year old program headed by Captain Kevin Henderson, who has been at Longwood since May, 1997. Either entering as a Freshman, or joining the program after previous military service, the cadets are qualified to enter the Army as a Second Lieutenant after graduation. The cadets, including the seven that commute from Hampden-Sydney College, do
not just wear their uniforms two days a week and take the selected courses and labs. They participate in numerous events that sharpen their skills and benefit the community. The Color Guard plays an essential role in Convocation, Commencement, Oktoberfest, and other prestigious events hosted by Longwood. Many of the cadets take part in Adventure Training, which spotlights their skills in rifle marksmanship, the Leader's Reaction course, and repelling. Field Training, which teaches students about Army life, and the Ranger Challenge, where top Longwood cadets compete against others from Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware are two other important events in the cadets' schedules. The cadets also particiapte in the
Telephone Registration Starts Next Week by SHELLY PERUTELU Copy Editor
Phone Registration for spring semester starts October 27. The Registration Office has many tips to help students during registration. "Students should check ahead of time and make sure that all registration hold flags have been taken care of," Sharon Perutelli, Student Records Manager said. Students are required to see their advisor prior to registering. Advisors may report to the Registration Office any student who has not been advised, and the Registration Office may remove their access to register by telephone. "We want to emphasize to students that it is critical that every student see their advisor prior to registering by phone. An advisor can catch that one small point that a student may have missed," Sandi Scarborough, Assistant Registrar said. Advisors have access to degree audit, which is a software program that pulls up the degree requirements of a student. "This is a wonderful advis-
ing tool and more reason to see the advisor," Scarborough said. If a student calls the Voice Response Unit (VRU), and it is busy; the student should hang up and try again later. Students should not use the ring again feature on the telephone as it ties up the lines. The Registration Office is initiating a new pilot program this semester where department chairs and academic deans have on-line access to process overrides. Students can still come to the Registration Office to process overrides. The new program is a backup to the process that occurs in the Registration Office. "We feel this will be an attractive alternative to the current method because students are already required to have the department chair's signature for an override. The new procedure will mean less legwork for the student," Perutelli said. The hardware for the new VRU has arrived on campus and installation is underway. In addition to registering for classes, the features of the new VRU include student access to grades and their financial accounts, including financial aid information.
annual Alzheimer's Walk, The March of Dime walk, and the Walk-A-Thon. They also helped to refurbish St. Theresa's Church. Currently, the cadets are gearing up for the Ranger Challenge, which takes place October 24-26 at Fort A.P. Hill. Cadets competing are required to disassemble and reassemble a maching gun, in addition to completing, in two hours, a ten mile road march while wearing a 50 pound pack. The Military Science Department is always trying to expand by recruiting more students through education about the program. Located in Wynne 211, Henderson is available to answer any questions about the Military Science program. He also encourages students with questions to stop any cadets they may see.

Barbara Jo Revelle, photographer and filmmaker, presented a slide show Thursday, October 16 in Bedford Auditorium for students and staff. Revelle is the Chairperson of the Department of Art for the University of Florida. She has previously taught art at the University of Colorado, San Fransico University, UCLA, and Arizona State University. Revelle has been featured in magazines such as; Z-Magazine, Art Week, and the New Art Examiner. She considers herself to be a documentary shooter that moved from autobiographical work to public art that focuses on people and the cultures of the
world. Revelle believes that art should not be enshrined and that the process of art-making is more important than the final masterpiece. The slide show consisted of various pieces of her artwork including one of her most prominent works, the 20 foot high, two block mural in Colorado. Revelle spent three years creating the arrangement of one inch bathroom tiles to display the faces of 84 women and 84 men. The mural depicts Colorado's history of multi-cultural integration. Revelle emphasized the idea of creating meaning through pictures and suggested focusing on symbolic content when making art Revelle's lecture and slide show offered a new view on art to many students and staff.

Longwood Women's Soccer Drops A Pair Of One-Goal Games Longwood dropped a pair of tough one-goal decisions last week, falling 3-2 at CVAC opponent Erskine (S.C) Oct. 18 and then 2-1 in overtime to Wheeling Jesuit (W.Va.) at home Oct. 19. Coach Todd Dyer's squad is now 10-4 overall, 5-3 in the CVAC. LC will host two matches at home on First Avenue Field this week, beginning with Lenoir-Rhyne (N.C.)

At EC, LC was down 2-0 at halftime after a slow start in drizzling rain. After the intermission, the Lancers gained their second wind. Sophomore defender Christy Reynolds/Dale City, Va.C.D. Hylton HS got her first goal of the season when she drove a ball to the side net after intercepting a through-pass from junior forward Kieley Munnikhuysen/ Montclair, Va.-C.D. Hylton HS. Longwood tied the game with 9:58 left on the clock when junior forward Anna Mangiaracina/ Virginia Beach, Va.-Green Run HS fired a shot past the keeper off a cross from freshman forward
and leading scorer Erin Hirschi/ Virginia Beach, Va.-Salem HS. Still high after the goal, the Lancers fell when Erskine scored their third goal just 12-seconds later. It was a tough match," said Dyer. "By the time we started to play in the second half, it was too late." At home against WJ, the Lancers faced a squad ranked fourth in the NSCAA/Umbro Division II Great Lakes Region coaches poll. LC was down 1-0 at halftime, but came back to score the equalizer early in the second half with a successful penalty-kick taken by sophomore defender Angela Snyder/Sterling, Va.-Park View HS. The teams battled for the remainder of the half and worked their way into the first overtime period. Wheeling Jesuit ended the game by scoring at the 2:25 mark. "I think we were just fatigued," said Dyer. "We had a long road trip and a tough match the day before, but we really battled."
