Changes in the plan of General Education requirements for all students have been approved by a faculty vote of 2 to 1. These changes, designed to give greater flexibility in individual programs, will go into effect in September, 1969. Following the revision of the State Certification Requirements for teachers, which became effective July 1, 1968, the administration appointed, in March, 1967, a faculty committee to suggest possible changes in the General Education curriculum. Members of the General Education Committee were Merry Lewis Allen, assistant professor of Mathematics; JoAnn M. Fritsche, instructor in English; E. Lee Land, assistant professor of Education; Helen Barnes Savage, assistant professor of Philosophy; Joseph M. Scolnick, Jr., assistant professor of Political Science; Dr. MarvinW. Scott, associate professor of Biology; and Edwin H. Vassar, associate professor of Education. After over a year's deliberation by this committee, and spirited discussion by the faculty, the following changes were approved. "Humanities: 18 semester hours. Six hours in Art, Music, and Dramatic Arts. This work may be in any courses within the student's competency. Three hours in English Composition. In addition, the student must pass a proficiency examination. Six hours in Literature. This includes literature in foreign languages. Three hours in Literature or Philosophy, excluding Philosophy 460. "Social Sciences: 12 seme hours. Three hours in American Hi tory. Nine hours in courses in at least two of the following areas: Economics,
Geography, Government, History, Sociology, and Anthropology. "Natural Sciences: 8 semester hours. One four-hour laboratory course in each of two of the following sciences: Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physics, and Physical Science. Natural Sciences requirements for elementary education majors meet this requirement. Physical education majors will take prescribed courses in Physiology and Anatomy in addition to a basic fourhour course in General Biology. "Mathematics: 6 semester hours. Mathematics 123, 124 are required for elementary education majors. Students in other curricula will take Mathematics 261, 262; Mathematics 161, 162; or Mathematics 111, 112. "Health and Physical Education: 4 semester hours. "Departures from the general education program may be made in exceptional cases. Each program must have the approval of the Dean of the College and a faculty committee appointed by the President." It can be noted that, under these changes, two years of history courses will no longer satisfy the Social Science requirement. The student must take at least one course in some other area of social science. Al o, KM six hours required in art, music, or dramatic m n I) ba flit up. It will no longer be nece ,m for all six of these hours to be in one of these fields. Then is a major change In tin Natural Science department.

Then I numl
Uon in the total quired hours In Hi
and Physical Education. Health Education courses are still required. Dr. William L. Frank, chairman of the Department of English, will head a committee to recommend the details of the proficiency examination for English Composition. The new General Education requirements constitute the first step in major curriculum changes which will be taking place within the college. The next step is within the individual departments of instruction. Heads and members of the departments will review their major requirements for the possibility of changes therein. Nothing in the current changes affects any major requirement of any department or the requirements for the sequence of courses in teacher education. The whole matter of curriculum is currently under review, according to Dr. Herbert R. Blackwell, Dean. He stated two reasons for this: a desire to reflect the changes made by the State Board of Education in the State Certification Requirements; and a belief that it is healthy for a college often to take a close look at its curriculum. The only class unaffected by these changes will be the present senior class. All "old students" returning next September will be able to choose which set of General Education requirements can best be adapted into tbttr vhedules. This policy is clarified on page 64 of the 1968-1969 catalogue. New students will be required to meet the new set of rtqulrtinnl . The COLLEAGUES want to congratulate the chosen usher' tt' for Geist - especially the Freshmen.

Fate Of The Bond The editors of the Rotunda are concerned about the fate of the Bond Referendum in the November 5 elections. We realize the necessity of having this referendum approved in order to advance higher education in Virginia We would like to think that Virginia students are receiving as high a quality of education as any students in the United States We should also like to think that our facilities are equal to those anywhere in the world However, we would only be fooling ourselves if we thought that our colleges and state-supported institutions could keep pace with those in other states unless the present educational facilities are supplemented We need passage of the bond referendum During the post few weeks we have become aware that many students, including those of voting age, are totally unaware of the upcoming bond referendum Many on campus have no idea how this vote will affect them. Indeed, very few students are aware of the specific ways in which Longwood College will benefit from the passage of »he bond issue In an effort to correct this situation, we shall devote a portion of the October 16 issue of the Rotunda to the Bond Referendum, with special attention to what passage of Chapter 17, as supplemented by Chapter 805, will mean to Longwood's immediate future, and to the development of community colleges throughout Virginia. — M.

Are You Informed? Certainly there are very few people on the Longwood campus who couldn't tell you that Tuesday, November 5 is election day, and name the three presidential candidates And most of them could probably also name the three running-mates But suppose we make the questions a little more challenging. How do the candidates stand on Viet Nam, law and order, and the other issues-* Is there also a Congressional race in your district next month3 If so, who are the candidates' Is liquor-by-the-drink on the ballot in your county3 How does a bond issue raise money? These questions are all of vital importance, and all should meet with a ready response from educated collegians Certainly, for those who have reached twenty-one, the reason is obvious An educated electorate is a necessary prerequisite to good government. Of course, a maiority of the students at Longwood are not of voting age But this is no excuse for ignorance of the issues in this election The learning and understanding of current events is an important part of becoming fully educated Oaily national and local news is easily accessible It requires little time and effort to scan a newspaper, or watch or listen to a TV or radio news broadcast. And the time invested is never wasted It isn't necessary to be a registered voter to be an informed citizen All it takes is interest in the fate of our nation, our state, and our communities — MAM
Gresham Speaks On English At Massachusetts Institute Foster B. Gresham, associate professor of English at Longwood College, spuke at the final session of an invitational leadership training conference conducted by the National Council of Teachers of English in Springfield, Massachusetts, on October 4 and 5. Approximately forty representatives from state and regional English organizations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, the New England states, and Quebec, as well as representatives from state departments of education in the New England states will be attending the conference. Currently serving as executive secretary of the Virginia Association of Teachers, Gresham spoke on "Common English Association Problems and Solutions." Other speakers at the conference will be Dr. Alfred Grommon, Stanford University, and Dr. Geraldine LaRogue, Teachers College of Columbia University. Having served as president of the Virginia association during 1951, Gresham began his executive secre-
tarial work the following year when the membership in this state organization numbered 148; the 1968 membership closed at 2,465. Gresham edited the "Virginia English Bulletin," from 1951 to 1960. In 1955 his "Teaching of English in the Virginia High Schools" was published by the association and given wide distribution throughout the state. Having served as acting chairman of Longwood's department of English for the past three years, Gresham teacher, children's literature and methods of teaching English, and is director of the adult reading improvement program. He, also, visits public schools to observe Longwood English majors who are practice teachers. The conference in Springfield is one of a series conducted by NCTE throughout the nation over a threeyear period to strengthen the work in state and local professional organizations in English. The conferences are strictly invitational In each region in which they are held.

Sister Students Tell Experiences Of Traveling Throughout Europe, U.S. By LIBBABALL Two sisters teamed up and decided to come to Longwood. One is now a junior, the other a freshman. The two girls, Julie and Camille Primm, have lived all over Europe and the United States. Their father, a Navy captain, has been stationed in Stuttgart, Germany, for two years. Prior to that, the girls lived in Paris for eight months. This summer, Julie, a member of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, worked in Stuttgart. "I worked in a German IBM office translating and typing letters in English. Funny thing, though, I was only paid 84? an hour!" The girls accompaniedtheirparents and two brothers on a two week camping excursion. "We camp somewhere every weekend," they admitted. "Daddy's V.W. camper has really been great for travel." DurinQ the trip, they stayed in Callais, France; took a ferry to Dover, England; camped in southern England and Wales; ferried from Wales to the free state of Ireland; visited Edinburg, Scotland; toured London; and then returned to Germany. "While in London," Julie began, "we saw Big Ben, Westminister Cathedral, visited Parliament, Hyde Park and London Bridge; rode on the underground 'tube,' walked inside the Tower of London, toured the Old Curiosity Shop, saw Madame Toussard's crown jewels, shopped at Piccadilly Cirus, window - shopped on Carnaby Street
saw a portion of the changing of the guards, viewed historic Trafalgar Square, and," she paused, "the most novel sight was Elizabeth Taylor's sea yacht. Every time she and Burton do a movie, she insists her poodles come along. Customs prevent the dogs entering the London port, so the yacht is anchored in the harbor with the dogs aboard during their visit. We even saw a couple!" In Scotland, they saw the "piping in of the Scottish regiment." "The men wore kilts and played their bagpipes," Camille explained. "One of our most exciting experiences occurred on the way into Ireland," Julie related. "There was an epidemic of hoof and mouth disease. All tourists were ordered to leave all food, fruits, and vegetables behind, or we couldn't go into the country. They made us turn in all our foods, even the canned fruits and meats imported from America. We really ate out a lot after that!" "Even worse than that," Camille said, "our V.W. had to be 'craned' onto the ferry. The trip was from 2 a.m. until 5 a.m. and we were all seasick. There was an incident where an old man was attacked by two young Irish 'tough guys' . . . adding up to a pretty exciting ferry boat ride. We just didn't think we should have lost all our food, risked having the bus craned, and been exposed to the ferry ride; but our father insisted on seeing Ireland. I'm glad, too, because it was one of the most scenic countries we saw!" In other travels, the girls have seen

Monaco, Switzerland, and Berlin. "Last August we rode on a military train, which runs at night, to East Berlin. We took a bus tour in East Berlin and were shown what the Russians do. The whole area looked sad. The people who waved to us seemed very unhappy. We were really upset." "Checkpoint Charlie is something else," they said. "The guards keep a close eye on aU tourists, carefully checking passport pictures with your face. One guard has a pole with a mirror attached to its end. He runs this pole under the bus to check if any of the people are trying to escape into the free country. There are television cameras on everyone there and the monitors are viewing every move you make." Both girls have trinket charm bracelets with items from nearly every country they've visited. One charm is the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, another shows Denmark, and still others remind them of areas in the U.S. they've seen. The girls modeled a kilt outfit that, Julie explained, "is the dress kilt for the Stuart clan." Camille sports a pair of German knickers.

Longwood Wins Impressively; Old Dominion Goes Down 7-0 By LYNNE COLEMAN In new, pleated navy blue kilts and white blouses, the varsity hockey team whisked to an impressive victory over Old Dominion Saturday, October 5. The "Longwood Ladies" showed off their uniforms in style with the first win of the season. The game consisted of two twentyfive minute halves with a five minute break between them. The game began with an exchange of the ball as both teams carried the ball to the opposing striking circle but could not score. Finally JaneTibbs,L.C.'sown"Hockey Queen" successfully completed a push for the first score. Longwood then took the initiative and continued the drive. Beautiful saves by Anna Pettis, well hit corners by Phyllis Carter, and good offensive back-ups by the halfbacks dominated the second half play. The final touches were added as Jane Tibbs scored three additional goals; Becky Bondurant, two; and center forward Barbara Snellings, one.
Ljreek
Old Dominion attempted to reach the striking circle, but failed to do so after the first five minutes of play. This depended greatly on Longwood's defense and fantastic efforts by two fullbacks, Cathy Hass and Jane Richardson.
Heintz, Callaway Coach Basketball; Begin October 15 Varsity basketball training sessions will commence on Tuesday, October 15, at 7 p.m. in the Student Building Gymnasium in preparation for the opening game of the season on December 7 with Longwood hostessing Bridgewater College at 2 p.m. Coaches for the team this year are Dr. Mary Heintz and Miss Carolyn Callaway.

Congratulations go to the members of this year's varsity hockey team and its co-captains, Anna Pettis and Cathy Hass. Don't worry, Seniors; hockey will be fun anyway! Tennis doubles is nearing completion. The winners will have the honor of playing Dr. O'Neil and Dr. Heintz for a free meal. Margaret, did the "Blush-On" brush really go down the drain? People say that our hockey field is smooth — so what was your excuse this week, Alma? Fifi found that "Waltzing" had its advantages and disadvantages; especially with a stick in one hand! Tibbs, are you sure those tennis shoes weren't in that bathtub? It may not rain anywhere else, but it sure pours from the "rafters" in North! Right, Paula? Hockey Team, good luck this Saturday against Lynchburg! Above all: Learn to take all things quietly.

"Up With People" is a national group which started in 1965 and has since spread throughout the country. The "Sing Out South" group from Richmond is part of this organization and has helped start the Longwood group. Members of the groups have written all the "Up With People" songs, and each group has their own song for the area from which they come. The Longwood group does not yet have a name, but they are considering different ones at the present time. The group will include students from the Farmville high schools, Hampden-Sydney, and Longwood. So far the group, with Mr. Rubley as advisor, has about seventy members including a drummer from Longwood, guitarists from Hampden-Sydney, and a banjo-playing professor from Longwood. For their first performance during Geist weekend, Longwood is buying the group a hundred "Up With People" books to get them started.
