Comedian Jimmy Fallon Entertains Longwood KIM URANN Features Editor It is not often that Longwood greets a famous guest for entertainment. Last Wednesday, though, that changed. Saturday Night Live comedian Jimmy Fallon filled Jarman Auditorium to almost capacity when he came to perform his stand-up routine. Fallon started off the night with a group of perfect impersonations. H e warped into other comedians such as Adam Sandier and Jerry Seinfeld and poked fun at actors

like Nicholas Cage. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves as Fallon joked on Farmville and surrounding cities.
Visitors at Longwood love to make fun of this town, so it was not too surprising that he did as
well. Would we really have respected him in the morning if he hadn't? Probably the person who had the most fun was the heckler in the audience who kept up a conversation with Fallon for a good ten minutes. Of course, he did not escape the mockery either. Fallon put on a good show, and I laughed through the whole hour. I don't think I will be able to look at a Troll doll without giggling for quite some time, though.
What's All the Buzz about? KIM URANN Features Editor We all saw the posters, and Iwe all heard the rumors: RA's and REC's of Longwood College, drunk and acting stupid. Who could resist? Apparently, not many people. Students packed into the [Lankford Ballroom on tuesday night to watch ten lucky people drink free alcohol. In theory, this seemed a Igoodidca. Dustin Morris, Director of the Wellness Center, designed the program to inform us college students about alcohol and its effects. He invited Steve Clark, the [coordinator of Alcohol Abuse Prevention at Virginia Tech to lost the event.
Farmville and Longwood police were there to answer questions from the audience and to administer breathalizers to the people drinking. The program looked at five different factors to compare the rate of alcohol absorption. The effects of the amount of food injested prior to drinking, the level of tolerance of the drinker the different drinks, the difference in gender, and the effects of drinking water while drinking alcohol were all tested. At the end, Clark showec the audience that how much fooc you eat affects the rate of getting drunk, a higher tolerance means you can drink more and not feel See BUZZ p. 12
Longwood Tells Students to "Swallow This" Headlines of the Week Photo by Anthony Colucci
CHRIS STANTON Staff Writer Mike, Tracy, Brenda, Samuel, Sanna, and Marcus, six students from Stony Brook College in New York City, visited Longwood's campus to talk to students about sex, drugs, and alcohol. This small band of traveling actors and actresses describe real life events of abuse from alcohol, hallucinations from drugs, and STDs from unprotected sex through character dramatization. Led by Kathleen Flynn-Bisson. along with Dustin Morrison, the group discussed signs of the various problems and the things you can do, both personally and for others, to get help. In the confines of Lankford Ballroom, the six students per-
formed for about an hour, and talked for about a half hour to forty five minutes. The skits performed included those pertaining to abuse from alcoholic parents and significant others. Some of the other topics performed were the possibilities of receiving a sexually transmitted disease from unprotected sex, and the implications it could have to all those around you. The ideas of hallucinations from dropping Acid and the flashbacks that may occur later all came up, along with some of the other implications that it has on life, especially after someone has quit taking acid. Out of all these problems and topics, it was mentioned that sex. alcohol, and drugs do happen on this campus, as well as all
other campuses. The discussion of places to turn for help included the RA and REC of your building and the on-campus meetings of AA, or those in the Health Center. Counseling is also available for those seeking to talk about their problems. For more information on the traveling group, its members and information on the topics discussed, call Kathleen FlynnBisson at 516-632-6682.

The Dangers of Legal Drugs MICHELE THOMPSON Copy Editor We all take drugs on a regular basis in this country and most others. In any store you walk into it is easy to find hundreds of over the counter medications for anything from foot fungus, to nausea, to the common cold. Most of us don't think about the potential dangers of these drugs For instance, Tylenol, which millions of people take on a weekly basis for headaches, is easy to overdose and causes liver damage with prolonged use. Many people are on a longterm regimen of a specific class of drugs called Psychotropic drugs. These drugs affect the nervous system specifically. Examples of psychotropic drugs would be antidepressants such as Prozac, tranquilizers such
as Zanex, and stimulants such as Ritalin. Antidepressants are useful in helping people with depression, but they do have side effects. Some of these side effects, which your doctor might not be aware of, are vivid nightmares, insomnia, agitation, and ironically, depression. These symptoms can go on for months, and people naturally think that they need the drug to avoid being depressed. The truth is, most depressed people don't need to be on drugs for life. The problem can be solved easily by weaning yourself off of the drug, decreasing the amount taken as slowly as 1/2 a pill this week, 1/4 next week, 1/8 the next. Tranquilizers are used often in patients with anxiety

Stopping Starvation in the Classroom and the StudentProfessor Relationship KIM URANN Features Editor There was a threat to take away the student's light to eat food in the classroom. The following are several emails that resulted in a decision to allow students to eat in the classrooms.
Dear Dr. Harbour: My professor of Western Civ informed me today of the regulation that food and drink are not permitted inside the classroom by order of you, the department chair. I find this to be extremely offensive and perplexing. I pay for my teachers to be here because I pay for tuition. The administration here at Longwood has already set down more rules than I can remember when it comes to conduct and attendance, and many of them are understandable. However, because I am a student, I have a very hectic schedule, and I am often forced to eat on the run while walking from one class to another. I do it, though, because I know that I need nourishment in order to maintain my energy. It just so happens that I am not able to finish eating in time before class starts, and I will bring food into whatever class I may have at that time. Now I find I am not able to do that in my history class, which is an early class for me and the first in a line of classes for that day. If I am able to eat, take notes, pay attention, and not bother the
other students or teacher, what right do you have to tell me I cannot eat (something, let me remind you, that all humans need to do)? I would appreciate it if you would consider changing this policy because it portrays you as someone who does not care about the health concerns of the student population. I understand that they are some good reasons for making a no food or drink policy, but I believe the benefits of nourishment far outway any inconveniences. Most people do not eat in class to be annoying or bothersome; we are simply hungry. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Kimberly Urann Class of 2002
Kimberly, Those who sit on high are usually too busy to respond to slight breezes, but in this case an exception is in order. You wrote me a great letter, one of the best petitions from my subjects this high office has received in many years. I would be honored if you took one of my political science classes, where, as an uncaring, arbitrary despot, unconcerned about the health of our students, and having no wish to promote m students the desire to act or behave in a professional manner, I will allow you to eat junk food (please, no apples) in class. Sometimes local officials in
this kingdom of Longwood misinterpret imperial instructions. By my leave, you are hereby free to do to Dr. Munson (make that Mr. Munson now) whatever you and your comrades deem appropriate. Indeed, in the course of time, perhaps you should have his job. Dr. Harbour, Master of the Dark Side and your servant

Speak Out What are jeur spring breafc plan? "This spring break I plan to spend time with my girlfriend and her family in Herndon. We are probably going to go shopping and visit Great Falls. Also, I am excited about spending time outdoors fishing, canoeing, camping, etc..." Kevin Tschai
"I'm going to Flagler Beach, Florida, for some fun and sun with some awesome friends. I also hope to catch a spring training game while I'm there." Jeromy French
Dear Ms. Urann: Dr. Harbour has forwarded to me a most eloquent communication from you to him that justly protests against his truly despotic attempts to prevent student nourishment. As I expected, he tried to shift the blame to yours truly, which is precisely the sort of behavior that caused our department to consider him especially qualified for the position of chair. You may rest assured that I will not enforce his repressive policies, unless the food in question contains caffeine, sugar, aspartame, chocolate, nuts, poly-unsaturated fat, processed dairy products, hormone-injected meat, or fresh fruit picked by non-union workers. Don't be swayed by attempts at intimidation by those tempted to forget that their authority rests on the consent of the governed. Your most humble and obedient servant, J. Munson

NEWS&VIEWS Lip Sync Raises Laughs and Over $1,000 WENDY K1KKPATRICK Opinion Editor If you weren't in Lancer Gym on Thursday night, you missed out on the fun! Lip Sync, the rowdy contest between Fraternity and Sorority pledge classes, was a huge hit this semester. 14 social Greek organizations performed to a packed, standing room only, gym. Most groups had the audi-
ence laughing hysterically and singing loudly to the music that they were Up syncing to. As usual, many songs were repeated by different groups and there was a heavy dose of recent pop hits. However, it was the unique performances and the occasional surprise move or old song that kept the audience rolling.
Delta Zeta and Alpha Chi Rho took first place for Sororities and Fraternities, respectively. The evening went off with only a few hitches, and only one performance being cut short for content All in all the event was a success, raising $1,050 for IFC and NPC and all the canned food donations will go to F.A.C.E.S.

PAGE 5 NEWS & VIEWS Students become aA Little Richer" Want to be an RTA? MARCH 9, 2000
BECKY TAYLOR Sports Editor "Who wants to be a millionaire?'' is the question asked to the world every Sunday, 1\iesday, and Thursday night. At Longwood College the question of, "Who wants to be a little richer?" was asked on March 1 to about 60 students/faculty/ and staff in the Hiner auditorium. Amanda Stombaugh, Bonnie Mahclcic, April Powers, Lindsay Fogg, and Mark Fisher presented this game show replica at 7:00 p.m. that night. Dr. Blauvelt played the part of the host, while Bonnie Maholcic was the hostess who ran the evening. Scott Hopson, featured in the band First Floor, played his keyboard adding sound effects just like the ones from the real show. The game was set up almost exactly to the one on television. There were, however slight, changes which were presented by Mark Fisher. He told the audience, who all purchased a ticket
for a dollar, that they had the opportunity to win $16.00. They had the choice of three life lines, but could only use two of them. The life lines were S0/S0, ask audience as a whole, or choose one audience member to ask specifically. The questions were going to be worth $.50, $1, $2, $4, $8. and $16, the big money. Each contestant was guaranteed to win $2 as long as they got to that question. When it was finally time for the contestants to be selected, Bonnie drew the first name out of the "hat". Kurt White was selected as the first candidate. He made it all the way through all the questions, winning $16.00, using only one life line. The second contestant was Cindy Owen, who walked away with $2. Kevin Arp was third, and he won no money at all. Drew Walker answered all of his questions correctly, using both life lines. He won $16.00. Whitney Shaw, relying on the help of her tennis coach, Dave Wolden, won $16.00 as well.
Todd Wippy was the sixth competitor, who walked away with $8.00, he pulled away from the last question, because he had already used both his life lines. Trip Medagor and Nicole Jordan were the next two.They both only won $2.00. The tennis coach at Longwood, Dave Wolden walked away winning the big $16.00, while lacrosse player Kris Denson finished off the last bit of money with the final question, winning $12.00. The questions ranged from professional team names, to Longwood athletes, to the Olympics. They were all generated by the presenters of the group. This project was for an O and A (Organization and Administration) class that is required of all Physical Education majors. Amanda Stombaugh concluded, "I think we had a really good turnout. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. There was a lot of participation and many people went home with some money!"
GEORGE LANUM Asst. Features Editor Greetings user from behind the terminal. This week's technology article written on a lot of espresso and little sleep, is geared to the more experienced computer user. In fact, this is a call to anyone and everyone who feels that he or she knows a thing or two about computers and would like to put his or her talents to work. As the visions of graduation dance in the heads and hearts of many fellow RTAs, we are looking to hire our replacements. The workload is substantial, but very manageable. The benefits and rewards far out weight any amount of work. One of the primary benefits is free room and board, a prize package worth $4400. In addition to these, one of the primary rewards is getting to meet with people that will give you jobs in the future. Several members of the RTA program have met with and received job offers from individuals in high paying, well
known corporations. If you are knowledgeable in computers and have an interest in going into a computer-related field (which field isn't a computer-related field, I dare you to find one), then this position is for you. If you are interested in this opportunity or simply care to learn more about the program, please attend our open house on Monday March 21st. The meeting will take place in the B room in Lankford Student Union from 6:30 pm until 8. Refreshments will be provided. On a light note, by now you hopefully know how to develop and design a web page. Your next question (and I saw this one coming): how and where can I host my page for free? Let us forget the word '"free", so the world can see it. Long in the making. Longwood College is proud to announce Lancer Web.- This is free student web server. This

The Rotunda Newspaper Takes a Trip to Seattle MELISSA GILL Editor-in-Chief and WENDY KIRK PATRICK Opinion Editor February 24-27, The Rotunda Newspaper had the opportunity to attend the Associated Collegiate Press' 16th Annual International College Newspaper Convention in Seattle Washington. While there, we attended many breakout sessions that taught us a little more about journalism. Some of the sessions included. Ten Tips to Improve Copyediting, Ethics in Action. Covering Collegiate Sports, Trends in Photo Technology, Online Design, Ten Ways to Motivate your Unmotivated Staff, and many more. The conference took place in the Crowne Plaza Seattle hotel in downtown Seattle. There were other colleges attending from many areas of the U.S. and beyond. Of course, after the sessions, there was plenty of sightseeing to do. We were lucky enough to have snagged reservations at the Space Needle. This was a very yummy (but extremely expensive) restaurant Some of the other sights visited were
Planet Hollywood, Old Navy, Pike Place Public Market, Jimi Hendrix's grave, Seattle Center, The Seattle Aquarium, and NikeTown. We had a great time and were able to learn a lot about the journalism field as well as a ton about the city of Seattle. Personally, I had many new experiences. I flew for the first time (a very cool experience). I also took my first trip to the west coast. I also had never seen a sea otter or seal before, so needless to say, I took a half a roll of pictures of seals and sea otters. All of this traveling made it quite difficult to come back to Farmville. Some of us were plotting to "accidentally" get on the wrong plane and end up in some random area (London anyone?). But we somehow made it home. We were tired, but smarter about many things.
The conference provided us all with a great experience. Just the opportunity to talk to students at other colleges and see their newspapers gave us plenty of fresh ideas to try here on The Rotunda. We learned from some of the best inthe journalism field about law, libel.
ethics, copyediting, webpage design.and much more. For those of us who are moving on in May, the confemece also provided valuable information on the job market and ways to find employment in the journalism world. The staff is lookingforward to implementing some of the things we learned, and if you want to hear more about Seattle, please come find
one of us, because we are eager to talk to anyone who will listen about what a great time we had on the West Coast!

MARCH 9, 2000 DRUGS cont. p.2 disorders such as social phobia, and in psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. These drugs are highly addictive, both mentally and physically. Their side effects include irreversible nerve and brain damage with long term use, though in some cases, and especially with children, this can happen in a matter of weeks. The stimulant Ritalin is used mainly in young children who are diagnosed with ADD/ ADHD. It helps them to focus on concrete tasks such as math, but
inhibits abstract thinking. Stimulants are the most addictive drugs known, and range from caffeine, to amphetamines like Ritalin, to cocaine. In young children especially, they stunt growth of the brain, skull, height and weight. Long term studies on these drugs are difficult to accomplish, and are not required for FDA approval. There are very few longterm studies done, because it requires in depth observation for at least 30 years to know what can
happen because of a drug. Your doctor doesn't necessarily know about the side effects of the drugs he or she is prescribing you. He/she knows how the drug can help you, but may not know how it can hurt you. Doctors are not trained to know this information, they leave it up to pharmacists. Please, before taking any drug, research it's effects. You can look them up on the Internet, or in the library in the Physician's Desk Reference.

The office hours are posted right by the door, so if no one is there at the time you will know when to come back.
BECKY TAYLOR Sports Editor Do you ever have that day when you are just feeling so down and your friends are just too busy to talk to you? Everything in your life has just crashed on you at the same time. No one is available for you to vent with, for you to get advice from. What are you going to do? Well, the answer of this scenario could be going to see a Peer Helper. The Peer Helpers are an organization on campus who, in a situation like this, will just listen to you. They will open up their ears to listen to whatever is on your mind. If you would like to vent, scream, cry, or need advice and you either do not want to talk with your friends/family or they are not available, check out a Peer Helper. It is FREE!
What else do the Peer Helpers do on campus you ask? Well they sponsor the Angel tree that
more than half of the campus participates in around the holidays.

This project defines the principle of giving back to the community. Students buy gifts for a selected person and then the Peer Helpers deliver these gifts to a certain site where the people can pick them up. They also consult with the counseling center to help them in any way possible. One of the ways Peer Helpers benefit the students is through RA scheduled programs. RA's
contact the office to schedule one of the following programs: nutrition, rape/sexual assualt, stress, sexual responsibility, and alcohol responsibility. They are currently working on a drug responsibility program as well. Once the program is scheduled, the Peer Helpers go to the designated area and present the program to the participants. These programs are very informative, and yet very entertaining. In conclusion, the Peer Helpers are very beneficial to people on campus. They are there to help in whatever way needed. If you are interested in having a program, you can contact the office at x2657 or the program coordinator, Bevin Rice, at x3SS7. Please feel free to contact the office if you need anything or if you want to join this organization.

CD Review: Smashing Pumpkins MACHINAJThe Machines of God MELISSA GILL Editor in-Chief Drugs, death, firings, and many other random controversies couldn't hold them down. A mutated form of the Smashing Pumpkins just released their 5th album. MACHINA/The Machines ofGod. During the making of this album, the band changed drastically. Jimmy Chamberlain, the previously fired drummer, returned early on. A few months later, bassist D'arcy called it quits after 10 years in the band (to later be brought up on drug charges). Shortly after her departure. Hole bassist. Melissa Auf der Mar quit Hole to join what is now the new Smashing Pumpkins. Somewhere along the way, the album was made. MACHINA proved one of my theories on drummers in rock bands-you gotta have one. Adore was a rather disappointing album. The drum machines and mushy vocals didn't seem to cut it This
time around, the Pumpkins opted for a real drummer and some different topics. The album staru with the catchy rock anthem The Everlasting Gaze. In this Billy Corgan exclaims, "You know I'm not dead" proving thai he is ready to roll again.
The Everlasting Gau was also the first single released from the album. I admit this ended up being the fault to me. I heard me song and was instantly expecting to get my pants rocked off by the album, but honestly, that is the
only truly hard rocking song on the album. The other songs are quite good, but they seem to be a continuation of adore with a real drummer and a faster tempo. Some say that MACHINA goes back to the old school Gish days. I can agree in parts. I love the older pumpkins material. This seems similar to it in that it has that spacy Pink Floyd feel to it at times. Other than that, I have a hard time connecting it all. The album does not disappoint It has many good songs on there that can be quite addictive. One example. Stand Inside Your Love. As soon as I heard it, I was instantly hooked. There is no stopping it. Some older Pumpkin fans that expected Jimmy Chamberlain to rock the band silly may be a little disappointed, but otherwise, they are in store for a good pumpkin experience. •••1/2

LeeFarrior, M. Basketball
Jill Younce, W. Basketball
Beau Dickerson, Wrestling
The senior athletes of the Longwood College winter sports have earned a lot of deserved recognition. Thanks to the Women's Basketball Head Coach. Shirley Duncan and the Wrestling Head Coach, Brent Newell I was able to compile the following information. This page is designed to honor each senior from each team of a winter sport. Shirley Duncan gave her insight by saying: Kali Brown: Kali capped off an outstanding career with her best season, breaking the 1000 point mark, being named to first team All CVAC, and helping to lead her team to an outstanding 20-9 season record. Jill Younce: Jill also capped off an outstanding career with her best season, breaking the 1000 point mark, being named to the All CVAC second team, establishing a new record for three point shots, and helping to lead the team to our 20-9 season record. Terri Williams: Terri did not get the opportunity to play a complete senior season due to a torn ACL playing preseason pick-up. However, she was with the team daily supporting in every way she could, and worked to rehab her knee with the hope of playing at the end of the season, which she was able to do. Younce finished season with team-best 16.1 scoring average , with 4.9 rpg and 3.5 assists. Brown finished with 11.3 ppg and 5.6 rpg. She also tallied 4.5 assists and 2.7 steals. Younce tied the school record for three-point field goals with 225. Brown finished 9th all-time in career points with 1,243. Kali and Jill will graduate in May. and Terri has one year remaining since she transferred to Longwood. According to Brent Newell, wrestling coach: Beau Dickerson (Gloucester H.S., VA)- preseason ranked 12th in NCAA Division II in the 1651b weight class. Suffered a season ending injury before the season began. His

record was 18-14 as a Junior and he placed in many tournaments throughout his first 3 years. He was a 3 year varsity starter. Kris Lucas (Valley Central H.S., NY)- 4 year varsity starter. Wrestled in the Heavyweight division all 4 years. Placed 1st in Washington and Lee Invite, 3rd in the Apprentice School Invite and had a record of 18-10 his senior year. Helped Team earn most dual meet wins in history of the program and also helped team to 2 tournament titles this year (Washington and Lee Invite and Apprentice School Invite). Using information from Greg Prouty, sports informtaion director, the men's basketball seniors tallied high despite the injuries they faced. Farrior and Hughes each had their final season cut short by injuries, Farrior missing the final three games and Hughes missing the final 13 contests. Farrior finished his career ranked #6 on the all-time scoring list at the College with 1,300 career points. Additionally, he ranks #2 in career free throws (295), and #5 in career FT% (295-403, .732%). Hughes finished his career with 54 blocks to rank #4 all-time at LC. Williams was the only senior to last the entire season. With his leadership, the men's basketball team finished out the season with 4 wins.
Seniors,
Terri Williams, W. Basketball
The students at Longwood have enjoyed watching you play and compete throughout the years. I know the coaches have enjoyed every minute of your time and effort you have put forth on the court or on the mat. Your teammates will miss your leadership and knowledge of the sports. I personally wish you all the best of luck with your lives and athletic careers if any of you dream of continuing them at the next level. Congratulations! - Becky Taylor, Sports Editor
