The General Obligation Bond: What You ShouldKnow Be/ore You Vote According to Brenda Atkins, Longwood's executive director of governmental affairs and special projects, every public college and university will receive some funds from this bond. "There are 122 projects on the bond bill, 68 of them are for renovations for buildings over 50 years old. Jarman is 51 years old," points out Atkins. "Buildings that old do not have the current technology, and there are safety and handicapped accessibility issues as well." The new buildings created through the bond are also essential to maintaining the current educational standards in Virginia. It has been ten years since the Commonwealth has used a bond to improve its educational institutions. "There are 325,000 students currently enrolled in Virginia's public higher education institutions," explains Atkins. "In the next 6-8 years there are

On Tuesdav November 5, \ lrginians will take time out of their daily lives to choose their leaders and voice their opinion on important issues. Among these issues are several bonds that need the approval of the public to take effect. One bond will provide money for improvements in state parks and recreation areas. The other bond will help provide $900,488,645 for renovations and improvements in all state colleges and universities. Longwood University is among the institutions that will directly benefit from this bond, receiving $4.7 million to renovate Jarman Theater and $7.2 million to build a connector between Wygal and Bedford to house the rapidly growing Theater and Communications Program.

Mike Lysaght (2nd from lejt) gave John S. White 111 (right)and S.Truett Cathy (2nd from right) a tour of Lancer Cafe on October 24. S. Truett Cathy, the founder and chairman of Chick-fil-A Restaurants, toured the Chick-filA Express on the Longwood Campus while visiting October 24 as Executive-in-Residence in the College of Business and Economics. The tour was given by Mike Lysaght, Longwood's director if dining services, and Pam Coleman, manager of Lancer Cafe ARAMARK, the university's dining service provider, man*
ages the Chick-fil-A franchise, which is part of Lancer Cafe. Mr. Cathy, who was accompanied by his son-in-law, John S. White III of the Richmond area, also gave a talk at Longwood, Eat Mor Chikin, Inspire More People,
and spoke to students in a joint class of Principles of Retailing and Legal Environment. His visit was part of the College of Business and Economics' 2002-2003 Executive Excellence series
supposed to be 32,000 more students coming into Virginia colleges and universities. If some of these new buildings aren't built then there won't be any place for these students to go. The Commonwealth of Virginia won't be able to educate some its citizens if there aren't some additional facilities." The bond would provide money that would not be available through other means. "There is no way that the Commonwealth would ever have $900 million at one time to pay for these improvements," explains Atkins. Despite Virginia's current budget problems, the General Obligation bond will not lead to increased taxes or tuition. "General obligation bonds have no taxes that are associated with them," according to Atkins.

Demonstrators marched in Washington D.C. Saturday to protest war with Iraq.
Anti-War Protestors Converge on DC James Hare Opinion Editor
On Saturday, October 26, 2002 more than 100,000 protestors met within sight of the Vietnam War memorial, Lincoln monument, and Washington monument to protest war against Iraq. After a number of speakers including college students, very young children, Susan Sarandon, Patty Smith, and Jesse Jackson the protest continued with a march to the White House. At one point, the marchers stretched for over 5 city blocks. After circling the White House,
the front of the march was held up at Constitution Avenue waiting for the back of the march to pass. The march has already been described as one of the most significant peace marches since the 1960s; however, its size is comparable only to marches held in the midst of that conflict. As a march to preempt war the numbers were unimaginable The marchers came from many different walks of life. College students, senior citizens and working Americans were

Earlier this fall Longwood University's President Cormier was one of two presidents m Virginia to be offered a substantial pay raise. According to her contract, she can receive an increase from pnvate funds even if she does not receive an increase from the state funded portion. This year all state employees received a 2.5% bonus including President Cormier. However Longwood's Board of Visitors also approved a raise in March last spring semester from the Longwood Foundanon of $10,000 for her overall performance. The Foundation is made up of annual funds and donations made
every year to Longwood. However, President Cormier did not accept the raise by the Longwood Foundation. "She did not feel that it was fair to her fellow colleagues if she were to take the raise," said Longwood spokeswoman Kathy Worshter. President Cormier currently makes a total of $205,000 a year, with $117,000 as the state portion and $88,000 from the Longwood Foundation. This salary also includes state benefits, the Longwood House, a vehicle, a life-insurance policy, and a renrement fund, which are all perks of Longwood University's President position. Yet President Cormier still ranks in the mid-to-lower bracket of the pay scale compared to the
other eleven Virginia college Presidents above her in pay. UVA President John T Casteen leads the pack with a total $330,000 a year. The only College Presidents below her in pay include Norfolk State, Radford, U.Va.-Wise, and Virginia State.

Words From the Editor my editorial. I guess I could be a REAL journalist and comment on some national news or budget cuts, but by Thursday 1 usually need this space to vent. So forgive me, but this week I want to talk about the fact that I have no clue what I want to do with my life after I graduate. I have settled into a comfort-
able existence at Longwood, and while I am ready to face the real world, I'm not ready to leave the perks of small town life and all my friends. Anything after May is a huge void. To many people, I think that I come across as focused, driven, and always in control. I'm supposed to be that girl that has a master plan for my future, and it should include at least one of the following: fame, fortune, and immense happiness with my life calling. Okay, so the real deal is that I'm clueless, and I've come to accept the fact that maybe that's okay. I don't know too many 20-
somethings who know exactly what they want out of life, and many of my closest friends "have it all together" like me. I have to give myself room to learn more about ME and what I want to do with my life. I've ruled out the circus, professional basketball (only because I'm 5'2"), an alligator handler, and a stunt double for Vin Diesel. I haven't ruled out graduate school, journalism, writing, or working at McDonalds. My fear is that I will disappoint others or disappoint myself if I don't do something meaningful or important. I've been known to have a difficult time making decsions. It's

hard enough for me to decide what to wear in the morning, much less make life altering decisions such as a career or graduate school. Are life decisions something to take by the horns and twist them to where you want? Or do they gradually happen to the point where you don't have to make a decision because you instinctively know what's right for you? I'm scared that if I slow down for one minute, I'll never do anything with my life and setde for less than what I want. Settling is the one thing that my mom taught me never to do. I used to be one of the most
uptight people on the planet (some people might still say that I am), but I have changed since I came to college. Now I realize that life is full of twists and turns, and that everything can change from day to the next. So maybe making a "life plan" is futile. I am by no means a fatalist, so don't mistake my words as such. I'm just beginning to realize that I am allowed to take time to make important decisions in my life.

Darnit Brokaw! Cover ike Real News! James Hare Opinion Editor
This weekend I attended a protest march in Washington, DC. Over 100,000 people were there with me. We were a very heterogeneous group. Young and old, African American and Caucasian, college students and labor unions all to protest a war against Iraq. Nobody was there to express love for Saddam Hussein. We met to decry a war that even the most hawkish members of Congress said 100 to 1 of their constituents opposed. We gathered to fight against the forces that have always fought against peace. We gathered nonviolendy to oppose violence. We did all of these things, and yet we haven't even received more than a few news stories in papers and a few minutes of coverage on national news programs. Here we were, one of the most significant peace marches in Washington since the 60's; moreover, we stood with our brothers and sisters across the world to stand up for what we knew was right and the media just ignores us. Since when was "fair and balanced" reporting just showing one side of the story? Since when did the opposition lose the right to be represented? We're not crazy fanatics bent on making the world safe for dictators. We're peaceful people who feel there are other ways to solve problems than naked force. We believe that it's wrong that the Iraqi people have been made to suffer MORE for the callous behavior of their leader. Instead of helping the Iraqi people, we seek to bring more heartache and pain upon them. Instead of engendering new friendships in a region of the world where our friends are few and far between, we seek to upset more people and lose the few
allies we have. The time for a war against Iraq will never be right because we cannot continue to make the mistakes of the past. Did World War I lead to peace in Europe? No. It led to World War II. The real reason Europe is at peace was the Marshall plan, which rebuilt the shattered economies of the region. In the Middle East we have to realize that colonial ambition and its effects are what the real problem is. Why does Saddam Hussein have biological weapons? Because we, the United States of America, gave them to him when we were scared the formerly colonial state of Iran would become too powerful in the region. After a US-friendly ruler was in control of Iran we dropped our support for Iraq. As long as OUR interests weren't directly threatened we didn't care. Our policy today is more of the same. We're not interested in making life better for the people of Iraq; instead, we're interested in securing a source of oil for our SUVs. Our callous disregard for the safety of civilians is shocking. How exactly are we supposed to dislodge Hussein in the city of Baghdad, a city of 5 million, without shocking civilian casualties. After that, we're in for a long haul rebuilding the country and making a real government for the people of Iraq. I.owball estimates of the cost spiral up to about $200 billion dollars. As I sit in the office of The Rotunda I can see how many articles we've written lately about state funds disappearing. Two hundred billion dollars would go a long way to balancing the budgets of the states in budget trouble. Education, health care, and
jobs would all benefit from an infusion of money. The problem is it wouldn't do what it seems the Bush administration wants to do. One of the signs I saw at the march read very simply: "War is Peace" "Freedom is Slavery" "Ignorance is Strength" Those three sayings are from 1984, which I've mentioned before. They sum up the ideas of Ingsoc (English Socialism), the totalitarian government that is described in the novel. One of those principles applies here. To keep the masses from expecting too much, a means to use capital without increasing the quality of living is necessary. The formula in 1984 seems to be the same Bush is pushing for now: UNENDING WARFARE. And that's really what I oppose. The fear of war leads people to ignore the deterioration of our nation and our freedoms. The need for leaders makes us unwilling to question the status quo. The cost of war makes the gut feeling that things were better less important. This war is not the last because Bush's doctrine of preemption will lead our country into war time and time again. If that's not what you want, there's a couple things you can do: First of all, VOTE! Only by voting can we send an unequivocal message that we don't want war. Second of all, take part in protests. A favorite slogan of resistance movements is "The people united have never been defeated" and that is true. When we work together to let our government know how we feel it makes them change. It's not enough just to feel it. If you are silent, you mean nothing. Yell and scream your heart out, because it's the only way other people are going to listen. Live with conviction and passion. You only get one chance at living, and to live it without really feeling deeply about SOMETHING is the biggest failure imaginable.
I know I'm only one of thousands of people who have something to say or were affected by the shootings in Northern Virginia, Maryland, and the DC. area. But I thought that someone's personal experience with this might help. Thirteen victims. Ten dead. All at the hands of two men. For me, going home over fall break was the most troublesome experience I've ever had. On October 4, when the woman was shot at the Michaels i. Fredericksburg that's when the shootings became real for me. I've lived in Fredericksburg since I was 5. Fredericksburg is my haven; it's that place that makes me feel safe. It's like Farmville except bigger. That first shooting in Fredericksburg was at a Michaels, right next to a mall, and a store I worked at one winter. It was a scary thought to think in the past 16 years how many times I had been there. I remember thinking that maybe the shootings would stop. I remember, between shootings, our lives got back to normal. Then the shooting on October 11, the day that we all left school for fall break, happened. That day in class the sniper was all we talked about. Driving home that day I'm sure all of you going to Northern Virginia and other places saw the flashing cop lights and the traffic off of exit 126. Well, that's my hometown. This time the shooting occurred
at an Exxon gas station right off of 1-95 and only a block from the first college I went to. Tons of my friends still go there, and I was very worried about all of them. That wasn't the worse of it all there isn't even a way to describe how I felt when I drove past the scene. Undercover vans, flashing lights, yellow tape, but I had never seen as many cops in one place as I did that day. It was hard to see my community in such a way. The hug my mom gave me that night was most likely the biggest one I'd ever gotten. She was just happy that I had made it home safe. Some of you maybe were touched by these incidents even more so than I was. And I'm sure your parents were just as worded as mine were. Classes being cancelled in Richmond were nearly unbelievable to me. When I was home I would hear about dances and games being cancelled and postponed. Still to this moment, I cannot believe that in my town the SAT was cancelled. Maybe the thing I was most angry about was not being able to just walk around the town, see my friends, and do all those normal things. I missed out on things. And it seems like people began to be afraid of the most normal things. Getting gas became t chore that even people in Farmville were afraid of. The sniper was a type of terrorist. Hopefully now we can all begin to live our lives again.

BOND coaW p 1 "The funding to repay the debt service comes out of the.general fund of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The total debt service on the bond is less than 1% of the general fund budget'' The debt service for the first year has already been set aside. "Once all the bonds are sold, it will take about 25 years to repay the debt service." If the economy takes a while to recover, the state does not have to sell all of the bonds Voter approval of the general obligation bond only gives the state the right to sell the bonds; it does not require it to sell them. "The bonds are sold over a period of time," explains Atkins. "Not all the $900 million would be sold in any given year. They will probably be sold over 7 to 9 year period of time. The commonwealth is limited to selling no more than $250 million a year The bonds should actually have a positive effect on the economy," adds Atkins. It is estimated that the general obligation bond will generate more than $1.5 billion in economic activity by 2008, and will create thousands of new jobs in every region of the Commonwealth.

Longwood Grad Inspires Arts Students ana Communication Scholars Rachacl Kesler Staff Writer
Last Thursday, October 24th, the Career Center presented a box lunch workshop for Arts and Communications majors, with guest speaker Stacey Bates. Held in Salon A, this workshop gave interested students a chance to learn more about jobs in the field of Mass Communications and the best ways to pursue them. Bates received her undergraduate degree from Longwood in sociology and went on to complete a Master's degree in Mass Communications from VCU. She now works as a communications consultant and media relations specialist for Trigon. Dunng the one-hour workshop, she spoke about her undergraduate and postgraduate expenence, as well as about her job choices since graduating. At Longwood, Bates wrote for The Rotunda and says that she values the writing experience she gamed. As a Sociology major, she enjoyed the small community and personal attention that Longwood offered. She decided to pursue a Master's degree immediately after graduation and was accepted on full scholarship to VCU Bates spoke very highly of the Mass Communications department at VCU and recommended it for anyone thinking of pursuing a career in communications or advertising After VCU, she was hired as the Director of Communications for the public school system in Williamsburg. In this position, she independently created press releases, newsletters and booklets, and dealt with the news media, public television station, and students in the schools. Bates was the school system's spokesperson, a stressful and important role, especially during times of concern for public safety, such as the sniper situation over the past few weeks. Hex job was to maintain constant contact with the media and report on the students' safety, requiring her to be quick on her
feet, polished and reactive to inevitable changes. After working for the public school system, she wanted to expand her knowledge and abilities to other areas of communications. She was hired to work for Tngon health care company, in corporate communications. She explained her job function, as well as that of media and employee communications. Her department, media relations, is in charge of all copy wnting, editing, and advertising of Trigon's newsletters and publications. "You are going to have to become as expert in whatever field in which you choose to work," she advised. Learning about every detail is what it takes to efficiently represent and sell the company and its products. Bates brought some samples of her work in newsletters and brochures, and talked about the projects she had worked on, including publicity
for the recent Bay Bridge Run sponsored by Trigon. Stacey Bates provided information about many possible career choices in the field of Communications. She shared her knowledge of media, publishing, writing, and editing and stressed the importance of internships and externships. Also, the students at the workshop were given the opportunity to get answers and advice about specific questions involving their majors and interests. During her presentation, Bates was polished, confident and informative. It was a helpful forum and I found it to be useful in providing advice for students of all ages and majors. The Career Center offers various lunch forums, workshops and other activities for all majors.

The New And Improved Career Center Aja M. Brooks Staff Wnttr At some point during college, most Longwood students will need the services of the Career Center. Mary Meade Saunders, is the director of The Career Center , which is located in Lancaster 139, next to the Financial Aid office. She began in July and is making some changes and updating the office. The Career Center has been developing programs for students based on past evaluations and from conversations with students and faculty. One of the Career Center's goals is to have information accessible in the students' room via Internet. The staff realizes that it is hard getting to the Career Center, especially considering students are busy with homework and projects, etc., so now you can use many Career Center resources without leaving your room.
Freshmen students might not be fighting their way through the door but the upperclassmen should. Their website www.longwood.edu/career holds a lot of informational oudets to start the search for an internship, work-study on campus, volunteering opportunities and future jobs. It helps in planning, from resumes to internships, from choosing a major to planning your career. On the homepage, LancerTRAK provides you with a database for posting your resume and gives information on jobs and internships sent to the Career Center for Longwood students. The office just bought an internship series that lists internships nationwide in many different career fields. The series )iÂŤts internships in: International Affairs, Women's Rights, Media, Sports, Environment, State Parks, Law and Policy, Resorts, Congress, Human
Rights, and History, as well as internships with America's top companies. Their website gives information about when employers are coming to campus, graduate schools, GRE's, and financial aid for graduate school, etc. The Career Library has gotten a bit of a face-lift as far as information goes. Walking into their library a year ago, one would find possible internships from the 1980s. Over the summer, the staff went through the library and threw away many of old publications. The office has ordered and is now receiving many new books and publications with information for the students. They are also doing their part to save by having their handouts on the web site rather than printing hundreds of copies. Overall, the Career Center's updated website and office are becoming more user friendly.
October 31, 2002 PROTESTS cont'd p.1 all represented. Many ethnic groups, including African-Americans, Asian Americans, Palestinians, and Jews were all in attendance. The vast majority of the marchers were not members of fringe groups; rather, they were Americans who felt disenfranchised because their opposition to the war had not been heard by their Congressional representatives. Signs voicing sentiments like "Drop Bush, Not Bombs,"
"Regime Change Begins at Home," "No Blood For Oil," and "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" abounded. The protest was loud and angry, but was completely nonviolent. The Washington police reported only 3 arrests, compared to 600 during the IMF-Worldbank protests a month earlier. This march demonstrated that the anti-war movement is alive and well and that Congress and the President must consider alternatives to war.
Demonstrators use handmade signs to voice anti war sentiments during the DC protests this weekend.
APO Holds National Service Week Wkat Your SGA Is Doing Prtst Ktltast Alpha Phi Omega, a co-ed National Service Fraternity, active on mote than 350 college campuses nationwide, announced that it will hold its "National Service Week" November 4-10, 2002. "National Service Week 2002" is one of the largest college service projects throughout the United States. The National Fraternity's individual chapters sponsor campus and community projects simultaneously throughout the country to draw greater attention to a specific cause and to involve as many people as possible in a unified volunteer effort This year, Alpha Phi Omega Chapters nationwide will place the emphasis on their service in "Utilizing Our Resources to Build a Stronger Community and Nation." This is die 24th annual event of its kind," said Jack McKenzie, die Fraternity's National
President and an administrator at Clemson University in South Carolina. "When National Service Week began there weren't as many service organizations and efforts on the college campus as there are today. We believe national efforts like this have increased awareness about volunteerism." "We have more than 17,000 students involved with the 350plus chapters on college campuses around the country," explained Ed Richter who sits on the organization's National Board of Directors as the Service and Communication Program Director. "National Service Week is something that gives all of our chapters a chance to spread the word about our programs. "Chapter members have the chance to perform valuable service in the community while also developing their leadership skills. Planning service projects is a
great way to learn how to organize events. And, there are coundess opportunities for friendship within each chapter and between chapters." Alpha Phi Omega is the nation's largest fraternity and the only one whose primary purpose is service. It was founded in 1925 and membership is open to all students.

The SGA meeting this Tuesday the 29th began with the swearing in of senator Ian Sale and Judicial Board representative Amber Mader. A large part of the meeting was spent discussing the resolution that President Magyar proposed to the senate about the limited enrollment on incoming students. The idea was to initiate an enrollment freeze, only allowing a set number of people in each major. Secretary Lindsey Gibson stated that this resolution could mean that "we might potentially accept someone less qualified over another" and also noted that the senate liked the idea but believes that more research needs to take place. Upon the senate's vote, the resolution was opposed with 10 votes not in favor, 7 votes in favor, and 3 abstentions. Mike Smith and Andrew Freundt announced that they will
be talking with people in the dining hall in the next few weeks to find out student concerns and how they can help to address them. The junior class is collecting goods for Madeline's House and encourages everyone to give any food, clothes, etc. On November 20th, a band will be playing in Jarman where items for Madeline's House will be collected. Chante Johnson announced the Ambassadors for Christ organization will be hosting a movie in the Cox Glass Lounge this Friday at 8:00 p.m. where all are welcome. Finally, the yearly terms are quickly coming to a close—all SGA offices will be open. Applications for all positions are available outside of the SGA office and are due by November 6th at 2:00 p.m. No specific experience is needed to be a senator and in order to be an executive board member, one must be on the senate for at least one semester. Elections will take place November 8th-14th.

And Faitk Hill/Tim McGraw uou are not. Stick to college and tkat business degree, because karaoke is as far as uou will with uour lack o( singing talent Acruarius (Jan. 20-Feh 18) Stop being selfish_you make Karen from Will and Grace look like Joan of Arc. This is the season of giving, so don't waste uour paycbecks on sboes and try buying uour friends a gift for once. Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Ask that sexy power figure out already! You have nothing to lose, and powerful people are always looking for someone else to take charge once in awhile. Aries (Mar. 21-April 19) You are an enigma to those around uou. Tru to open up and let uour guard down once in awbile. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Do not go as Woody from Toy Story for Halloween. You will look like a nerd and no one will let uou near the keg for the whole night. If uour Toy Story obsession must surface, at least go as Buzz Lightyear. Now there s a real man. Gemini (May 21-June20) You are committment phobic. Don't be afraid to jump into something headfirst and worry about tomorrow later. What uou have now could result in a great friendship or something even better- uou just have to go with the flow. Cancer(June21-Julu22) You recently asked someone to forgive uou for uour transgressions. Give that person time to absorb the situation- uour persistence will only make it worse. Eventually, everything will work out tke way it's supposed to, even if it's not what you want right now. Leo(July23-Aug.22) Be wary of embarassing moments this week Don't get caught on camera doing something tkat you wouldn t want published in tke newspaper.

how . )r. Lector (Anthony Hopkir was captured. Anci also tells the very beginning oi Dr. Lector's stay in the mentai institution under the watchlui eye of Dr. Chilton (Anthony Heald). After a particularly riveting beginning in which Graham visits Hannibal Lector in his home to help profile a serial killer, revealing Dr. Lector's close ties with the FBI. While there, he discovers Hannibal Lector's little secret, that Lector is the murderer they are looking for, and almost becomes a victim himself to a . cannibalistic craving. After Hannibal's arrest and trial^ summarized in about five minutes, the real plot of Red Dragm emerges and reveals a new set of murders and a new killer. After two identical murders of families living in different states with no apparent connection the

It was a shame to see such few people at this exciting band event. This 80's Hip Hop Cover Band provided an exciting set that rocked for several hours. While the music may have come from the eighties, the hip-hop theme was definitely from the nineties and from today. The music had a great beat, and it was exciting to see the singers change the songs to their own versions. Front Butt is made up of six members: Dr. Edit (Guitar and MC), The Pirate (Guitar), Etch a Sketch (Vocals, MC), Munnyshot (MC), The General (Drums), and the Infamous LOG (Bass). Each member had some vocal parts, so there aren't just two people that

were worth the time. Each song had a rap beat to it, and it was interesting watching the crowd dance and jump to each song. There may have only been a few people there, but those few people made it exciting and fun. It seems a shame that so few people were there, I wish more people would have come in to at least enjoy one or two songs. There were many activities going on that night, such as the BET Comedy Tour and The World Series, but a person could have made a short trip to the Lankford Ballroom to enjoy some songs. If another such event were to take place, take a few minutes just to enjoy some good music, because you may not know what you are

sing all the songs. It was interesting watching the vocalists at certain points. One would just run outside and grab a couple of people who may have been just walking down the street. The vocalists would also introduce themselves to the crowd, as most singers would, but would also have the crowd introduce themselves. Each person in the audience had to introduce themselves to everyone else and the band would pull people out of the crowd to participate. Some of the songs they played were: 12 3 4 (Jam end), Walk This Way, California Love, Whoop There It Is, Ice Ice Baby, Jump Around, and Baby Got Back. While those songs may not sound very appealing, their versions
both about doing whatever you can to save the relationship. Other songs on the cd include "Beautiful" and "I Think I Will." Both songs are happy songs and are very upbeat. "Beautiful" is interesting in that Faith is actually speaks the first few stanzas instead of singing them and then goes into the chorus. I like the way she did this song because I think speaking brings in more emotion at times instead of just singing. Faith also sings about rough times in life and how you take them and move forward. Two songs that show this are "Free" and "Unsaveable." "Free" is about having a rough life, yet breaking down walls along the way and eventually succeeding, hence the tide "Free." "Unsaveable" appears to be about being abused and finally saying this is it and leaving the abuser even if they try to say they are sorry. Both of these songs
are powerful in that they seem to say that you can move on and start anew. Another theme on this cd is losing someone. Two songs that show this are "If You're Gonna Fly Away" and "You're Still Here." "If You're Gonna Fly Away" is about a woman who is telling her man, who appears to be suicidal, not to leave, but to take her with him if he is going to do this. "You're Still Here" is about a woman who lost her man and can still feel him all around her. Both of these songs are heartwrenching and Faith gets that across beautifully. There are also quite a few other songs on this cd that I encourage you to check out. So, if you are wondering if you should buy this cd, I would say yes. Regardless of whether you are a Faith Hill fan or not, if you are loosing for something new to listen to, then this is the cd for you.

Coackes Now Recruiting Younger Players Chico Harlan U-Win The inspirational story — one that's become a rare underdog anecdote in Michael Jordan folklore — goes something like this: Jordan gets cut from his high school varsity team sophomore year, improves, comes back and become1! the best player ever. These days, though, a similar scenario might unfold more like this: The next talented basketball player gets cut sophomore year, misses a key recruiting penod and never gets another sniff from Division I recruiters.
Today college coaches begin scouting earlier than ever before, hoping to gain an edge on increasingly steadfast competition. "We're already evaluating sophomores," Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said. "Things are being moved up a little bit, and that can lead to bad decisions." Think that's bad? Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said he's recruited players in sixth and seventh grade. The trend toward earlier and more intense recruiting came under scrutiny this summer when
Derrick Caracter, then a 6-foot-9, 286-pound rising ninth-grader from Scotch Plains, N.J., asserted himself as one of the most dominant players in a Nike showcase camp.

vating relationships from an early point." And that's the challenge, because strict NCAA rules prevent many kinds of contact between college recruiters and prospects before the middle of a player's junior season. For example, players are only allowed to make an official campus visit after Jan. 1 of their junior years. Assistant coaches cannot even telephone a recruit until March of that year and are allowed only one call per month. Therefore, much of the early contact is done through unofficial visits - allowed at any time
while freshman Zach Gibson/Virginia Beach-Kellam added an insurance goal (63:47, unassisted) in the second half. Freshman keeper Billy Hawver/Virginia Beach-Kellam made three saves for the Lancers.
