Appropriations Hesitantly Releases Figures

By JOAN FEATHERS STAFF REPORTER Two weeks ago the Rotunda began efforts to secure information concerning budget allotments to clubs and organizations. It was intended that there be a table showing the allotments given each club last year and this year.

The Appropriations Committee readily gave the information concerning this year's appropriations. However, when the subject of last year's appropriations was brought up it was disclosed that the committee had voted that no information from last year's appropriations be given out by the committee itself, that it is up to each club to decide if such information will be made public. In order to obtain the necessary information it was finally necessary to search through old issues of the Rotunda to find the story with last year's allotments — information which could have easily been supplied by the committee.

One reason given for this withholding of information concerning funds supplied by students is that this year's

Workers Finished Rotunda Reopened First Sing Held

Joan, bark on the rixhtful spot, Hit- Rotunda.

By MARY FRANCIS BALDWIN STAFF REPORTER A long awaited day at Longwood College finally arrived when the Rotunda was once again opened to students, faculty and visitors. It was officially opened last Wednesday when the Reds and Greens got together for a traditional Blue and White sing around Joan of Arc. The Rotunda area, which use to house students, administrative offices, and classrooms, was closed last year for renovation. South Ruffner was the only section which was used again last year for a dormitory.

While closed, workmen spent hours building and remodeling offices. Many personnel offices, including the President's, have been relocated on different floors of Ruffner, but the offices of the Deans remain in the same location.

Third floor Ruffner is now used by the Foreign Language Department. Beams were inserted to help support the dome of the Rotunda. Also, the Information office, with Mrs. Clarkand Mrs.Orange as hostesses, has been moved from the Alumnae House back to its place of honor in the Rotunda.

Stamp Out Apathy, Support Major Elections

committee should not be held in any way responsible for actions taken by last year's committee nor be questioned in regard to anything done by that committee. Dean Holt expressed some concern that students would not be able to make accurate judgments in comparing the allotments for each year.

In reading the table it is important to keep in mind that there are many things which would cause the sums in each year to differ. Did the club have a balance at the end of the previous year? Were there any discrepancies in a club's budget the previous year that would affect the allotment for the coming year? Has there been an increase in student enrollment which would necessitate more funds, such as in the case of yearbooks? Has the club or organization added some new causes or projects to their agenda that would require more money?

The reason for emphasizing the necessity of making budget allotments public is that each year each student pays an activities fee. Without it, no club or organization at Longwood could exist, for it is from the activity fee that clubs get the money to operate each year. The money the clubs or organizations receive comes only from this fee, and no money is supplied from any other source. Each year the total activity fee money is given to the Appropriations Committee, which is a committee under, and responsible to Legislative Board. Various clubs submit their books and budgets from the previous year along with a projected budget and bid for the coming year.

The books are then audited by Pi Omega Pi and returned to the committee, which decides how much money will be given to each club.

Basically, in appropriating the money, the committee has to take into consideration the entire picture — the number of clubs and their requests, versus the amount of money available.

To be eligible for funds an organization must strive to benefit the campus as a whole and try to make a positive contribution to the student body.

In spite of the fact that clubs must follow certain procedures, it is up to each club to use the money as it sees fit - the Appropriations Committee makes no recommendations as to how the money should be handled except that it be spent to benefit the student

body.

The appropriations run from year to year, with the money being given at the start of each semester. The committee usually meets in the spring to begin planning for the coming year.

However, this does not mean the committee is inaccessible during the rest of the year. If it should happen that a club doesn't get the money it feels is necessary, or is dissatisfied in any way, they can appeal to the committee for more funds and their request will be taken into consideration. As an added safety measure a contingency fund is kept for use In emergencies.

There has been one major adjustment recently made in the structure of the committee. In previous years the committee consisted of a few students with a majority of faculty mem-

bers. It was brought to the attention of Legislative Board that students were in the minority in making decisions that involved student money and the structure was changed to allow students the majority voice.

The members of the committee include the class treasurers, the president and secretary of the student government, two rising sophomores, two rising juniors, and three faculty members. Currently serving on the committee are Brenda Southworth, Betsy Craig, Ann Ingram, Anne Becht, Casey Wilkes, Nan Sayles, Bonnie Moseley, Mary Adkinson, Kathy Bozard, Terry Jones, and Melinda Lewis, chairman.

The three faculty members are Frank Williams, Assistant Business Manager, Tim Brown, Director of Student Activities, and Dean Holt.

DR. LARA HOGGARD

Dr. Lara Hoggard To Hold Concert At LC Nov. 8

By BELINDA BRUGH STAFF REPORTER Longwood College wUl be the host school this week end for the Virginia Inter-Collegiate Chorus. Participants in the three day weekend festival will be the various college chapters in Virginia of the Music Educator's National Conference.

Guest conductor for uns festival will be Dr. Lara Hoggard who is currently Director of Choral Activities at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dr. Hoggard has not only gained a unique reputation as a musician of outstanding capabilities, but also as teacher, conductor, and writer.

He has exerted an impressive and continuing influence in American music and education. In 1967, Dr. Hoggard was named William Rand Kenan Professor of Music, one of five endowed chairs at UNC. The festival will end Sunday afternoon with a concert in Jarman Auditorium at 3:00 p.m.

The program will consist of such selections as Schubert's Mass in G; Orlandus Lassus', My Heart Is Offered Still To You; Hugh Robertson's, O Lonely Heart; and Theron Kirk's, It Was A Lover and His Lass. Admission is free and the public is invited to attend.

Deadline For Major Election Petitions Extended Due To Lack Of Support The 1970 Fall major elections are suffering greatly from lack of support.

As of Friday, October 30, many of the offices were without running candidates. Debbie Remsburg, Elections Committee Chairman was forced to announce the lack of support, and had no choice but to extend the deadline for submitting petitions. Several petitions did go out over the weekend . . . and by Sunday night response had increased somewhat.

This lack of student support although not officially causing the overall program to be changed has caused internal havoc. As the schedule stands, the first petitions were to go out Tuesday, October 27, and were to be posted by Sunday, November 1. Because of the lack of support, and extended deadline the petitions will now be posted and receive the required number of signatures before November 3rd in order to hold the scheduled conferences. This means that students had two days to see the major elections candidates on the elections board.

It should also be noted here that if the applications for officers are not adequate, or the stipulation of an overall 2.5 grade average is not maintained, plans then will have to be delayed.

As the elections board stands now, the IO major offices are being sought after by only 17 girls.

The response so far to the major elections campaign indicates that in-

terest in the student body is certainly lacking. For, as the table indicates, no more than two contestants are running for any position, and in some cases the one election has already been held as only one girl is running.

The interest factor here is a very important one, for if students are not satisfied with their present student Government, they are doing little to alleviate the problem for 1971-72 season. Major officers have begun to wonder if students who are not interested enough to run for the various officers, wiU be interested enough to even vote.

Students should be aware that the conferences will be held on Wednesday from 7:00 until 9:00 p.m. Each candidate will be given two minutes of speaking time and three minutes for questioning time. It should be noted heie that attendance will be guaranteed as the freshmen have been required to attend.

Is Competition Really That Important ?

Geist, to many has always been a cherished weekend at Longwood College, in which the tradition of Blue and White spirit was carried out But, it has become apparent, especially by the actions of both Reds and Greens this weekend, that the true sisterly spirit is dying Both Reds and Greens had worked hard to prepare their respective skits and had given up many long hours of studying time to present to the parents, friends, and students an enjoyable evening, and indeed it was However, it was fortunate that the visitors did not hear or see what was said and done after the winner was announced Many Reds and Whites cried and expressed their feelings of defeat, meanwhile, the Green and Whites seemed to gloat with expressions of victory.

Is this showing the Blue and White spirit' Is this upholding the traditional meaning of Geist3 If so, our meaning of spirit and tradition needs to be revised Sure, the weekend was full of competition between the Reds and the Greens, but competition is not a new word to our vocabulary It has been around since the colonists first settled this land. There was competition to see who could settle a colony first and there is competition in all businesses today to a certain extent, competition is good, for it makes people strive to do their best But, it need not be carried to extremes A teacher once said to me that I should be mature enough to realize that I don't have to compete with anyone else The only person I needed to compete with was myself This should apply to the Reds and the Greens, too They don't really need to compete with anyone but themselves, and in so doing strive to make everything they do their best Gloating about victory or crying over defeat is not expressing a mature college attitude Both colors need to take a look at themselves and see if they are really trving to portray the true Blue and White spirit of Longwood Ask yourselves this question, "Is competition really that important3" — M. F. B.

IS IT THAT IMPORTANT??

Communication Blackout If there is any idea emphasised on this campus, it is communication Usually, the stress is placed on communication between the administration and the students, or between the faculty and the stui lent! But maybe we're overlooking a more important problem the lock of communication between students One can look at Geist to el Unit the problem does indeed exist Where was the co-operation when girls from SRO, Longwood's radio program, were trying to obtain information about Geist to broadcast3 They were offering ten minutrs radio time, but it seemed that no one was willing Hire factnng the anticipated events At the last minute ^nc Geist member finally came through With this information added to the girls' own past Geist experiences, an SRO program featuring Oktoborfest was pieced together At the Senior Class meeting, it was that an alarmingly few seniors were participating in prethe other seniors3 Perhaps they were tired ot having their ideas reacted because they weren't important Bel >r< v,i' can begin to exchange ideas and opinions with the administration and faculty, we have to share and co-operate among ourselves That is what successful communication is all about — V E B

November 4,

Letters To The Editor The Board Responds I would like to make some comments concerning the article in the last issue of the ROTUNDA. Upon being interviewed last Sunday night at 9 p.m. I will have to admit I was a little irate. Although treated courteously, I was made to feel that both Casey and I had been hiding some big secret concerning the question naire and what the Legislative Board has been doing about the possibilities of having alcohol (not just beer, as the headline incorrectly states) on campus. If any stuA. MADDOX dent ever read the Legislative Board minutes, which have been posted in each dorm for the past three weeks, they would already know that the board has been working on the questionnaire and had presented a tentative one to Dr. Willed. They would know that we were discussing more specifically questions to be on it due to the fact that the Physical Education Department is also doing a questionnaire in which factual information concerning drinking will be contained. Another reason we cut the questions down is we wanted to condense all the material into one page for brevity.

By writing such an incorrectly headlined article, I feel that the students have been made to think that the board has finally revealed some big secret which they have been hiding.

This definitely is not the case! I would like to remind all students again that all our meetings are open and meeting times are announced ahead of time in the minutes of each week.

We have nothing to hide — why should we? We are your representatives and are only trying to do the job you elected us to do. We are always welcome to your opinions and questions, but may be sometimes reluctant to answer questions concerning all the intricate details of a matter because we may not always have all the information at hand and do not want to say something which is untrue.

It is true that this board, as any other board, works closely with Dr. willed. And this is as it should be.

We are extremely lucky to have such an interested and capable President as he to help our Student Government to be the strong, efficient organization that it is. My quote, found in the last paragraph of the article, was taken out of the context in which it was found and I would like to explain it. Casey, as the board's representative, talks to Dr. Willett daily to keep up the communications between the two, and to inform the board about what is going on each week within the college. As vice-president, I naturally do not communicate with Dr. Willett as often as Casey because I receive my information from her.

I would like to add that I think the entire paragraph of the article should have been left out. Both Casey and I were very frustrated at the way we were interviewed without previous notice, the lateness of the hour, and the abruptness with which we were approached, besides the fact that we were supposed to be in a required meeting at the time. We both do know "exactly what's going on" concerning the questionnaire and now, so should all the students, the advisory board members, as well as the faculty, thanks to the article. And now that everyone is informed, I hope students will come to the next board meeting to see what steps will be taken next and to see how much such an article has set us back in our progress with either the Visiting Board members and/or students.

Thank you, Andee Maddox Vice-President of Student Government.

Day Students Upset Dear Editor: I would have thought that you, as an editor, would not let a sarcastic, untruthful insinuation of a minority group of fellow students be printed in our newspaper. The statement I'm referring to that contains this insinuation

is in the third column of the front page of the issue dated October 8,1970. The statement is the following: "In spite of being a day student, Martha has been extremely active in activities at Longwood."

With the phrase 'in spite of being a day student' you have unjustly hurt the feelings of these students. First of all, I think you have no grounds on which to make such an insinuation that these particular students do not participate in activities or that they are inferior to the dorm students. If you took the percentage of the day students as compared to the percentage of the dorm students that participate in activities, you will most likely find that the percentage of participation for the day students to be higher than or close to that of the dorm students. This block, there are approximately eighteen hundred sixty dorm students as compared to eighty day students. Second of all, the day students are very ill informed as to the exact day, place, and time these activities are taking place. In fact, these students seem to be left out purposely.

As an editor, you owe these students a formal apology, especially to Martha. It's the least you can do.

Sincerely, Sarah Andrews

False Accusation In spite of everything else that I have been accused of in the past few weeks, I can certainly say at this time that I have not let "a sarcastic, untruthful insinuation of a minority group of fellow students be printed in the ROTUNDA. I am well aware of what was said about Martha, as I wrote the statement myself, in spite of being a day student, Martha has been extremely active in activities at Longwood.''

With this statement, I have not insinuated that day students do not participate in activities, or that they are In any way inferior. What I have said though is that I realize the problem that day students have in finding out just what is going on around campus. I have complemented Martha on the fact that she has shown outstanding activity, in spite of the communication factors that do exist between boarding and day students. Martha herself took the statement as a compliment, and not as an attack on Inferiority. Therefore, day students you have not been abused. In fact, you have just brought more attention to yourself by your outstanding member, Martha, who has been commended for her outstanding efforts in trying to bridge the communication problems that do exist.

The Editor, L.W.

An Unwarranted Criticism I would like to comment on the cartoon in the October 28 issue of the Rotunda. 1 feel that it was not in keeping with the true purpose of the Editorial Section. Instead of offering some form of constructive criticism, the cartoon was a direct SLAM towards the whole institution.

It offers no specific criticism towards any aspect of Longwood. The cartoon reflects a feeling of apathy on the part of the cartoonist, who seeks to escape the "unbearable" situation here at Longwood, rather than offer some workable solution for her criticism. How can we the readers know what she is dissatisfied with, when she gives us no grounds to build on. We can only presume that she is discontent with the overall atmosphere at Longwood. Certainly Longwood is not the ideal college, but name one school that is. However, it is up to each student to strive to make Longwood the very best we can, and it is only through constructive criticism accompanied by ideas or suggestions that we can attain this goal. Longwood has much to offer and with the help of every student it will have more to offer. However, if any student is so completely dissatisfied with the overall college atmosphere here at Longwood, she should seek an institution which would better reflect her ideas. Thank you.

Debbie Hyatt

Cartoonist Responds The cartoon was DIRECTLY related to the editorial opposite it, as has been the policy of the Rotunda. Apathy, I realize, is not a problem unique to Longwood. The cartoon was intended to stress the fact that Longwood is a suitcase school. People do tend to vanish on Friday! Professional cartoons as a rule point out faults rather than offer a plan for "reconstruction". Perhaps if the cartoon offended some people it at least woke them up.

Donna Wadsworth

Vicious Rivalry Last year a Longwood senior was ridiculed for comparing the Red and Green contesting to the "Cardinal and Bluebird rivalry" of a kindergarten class. I did not agree with her then, but I am inclined to now. I was backstage Saturday night after the Geist skit winners had been announced and I was appalled at the immaturity of some of my peers. Green and Whites were cruelly gloating over their victory and razzing the losers. And there were the Red and Whites who were crying and gnashing their teeth and planning their revenge (physical and mental). I thought Geist was supposed to promoted unity in the school and not a division. Green and Red spirit seems to be anhilating Blue and White Spirit. Longwood needs unity to survive and unity seems to be missing from much of our activities.

Donna Wadsworth 1971

A Vote Of Thanks Oktoberfest has come and gone, and in my opinion it was a great success.

Much of the success of the weekend was due to the valuable technical assistance of a Longwood alumna, Pat Quinn. She made the skits what they were. Pat was at dress rehearsal Thursday night and made several suggestions to both Green & Whites and Red & Whites. She spent the bette--part of Friday afternoon helping us to reset and hang more lights. Pat offered her assistance to both colors, and I, for one, gladly welcomed it. Her assistance gave the skits a professional quality, which has usually been absent. Thank you, Pat Quinn.

Pieter Laundon, 1971

Players Announce Tryouts for the Longwood PlayersHampden-Sydney Jongleurs' production of Eugene Ionesco's EXIT THE KING will be held Wednesday and Thursday, November 4 and 5 from 7:30 to 10:00 P.m. at the Jarman Studio Theatre.

There are three female and three male roles in the play which will be presented December 10, 11, and 12, in Jarman Auditorium.

The play is one of Ionesco's most ambitious efforts, and it draws freely on the use of comedy and absurdism as well as tragedy In a sometimes bizarre mix of styles.

Scripts are now available for an advanced reading of the play and may be obtained from Douglas M. Young of the Speech and Dramatic Arts Department who will direct the play.

Support The Rotunda wishes to thank an the interested students who have supported the Letters to the Editor column this week.

Students are reminded that Letters do not have to be any specific length, but that they do have to be signed.

The Rotunda staff wishes to urge all students to support the newspaper, for it is in this way that we are able to find out what the general consensus of opinion is. We urge and welcome your support.

An Opinion On Student Activities

By ETHEL REITER STAFF REPORTER As a social institution, education is basically conservative. It has failed in a number of ways to meet effectively and adequately the changes confronting it in a rapidly growing society. Therefore, student activities in concept and practice seldom progress to a point of value and E, RMTFR significance.

At Longwood students are treated as immature high school adolescents incapable of meeting their personal, social, and academic problems without the assistance of college personnel or an appropriate campus organization.

Such student activities have a few faults, in spite of the pleasures involved (clown for a week-end, secret sessions, or Maypole dancing) and the rewards gained (close friendly ties with administrative officials, group identification, or the reputation as a well-rounded individual). Although the catalogue statements of purposes are idealistic and inspirational, these organizations are scarcely worthy of such classification. In the first place, there is an over-emphasized concern with trivialities. Countless clubs are founded for no challenging reason, and consequently the code becomes one of proper attire, pleasant attitude, and Amy Vanderbilt etiquette. To add to the abhorrent state of affairs many administrators delight at such programs. Another example of concern with trivia is the organization and conduct of student government in general. This organization is overly obsessed with rules and regulations.

Student government leaders are often so fearful of violating a rule of parliamentary procedure or an inside confidential agreement that they fail to present or expose crucial issues or problems. Student activities are extremely sentimental. Not to say that bouncing clowns, unknown ghostly singing spirits, or red and white hockey players are pointless, but they do tend to be quite emotional and anti-intellectual. Fortunately, these campus clubs do accomplish something. They provide a perfect escape from reality; unless, of course, one plans to join a circus or permanently reside in Never Never Land.

Higher education should provide students with the understanding they need to work toward a more effective democracy. Democracy requires persons who are skilled in human relations, experienced in working toward democratic ideals, and able to combine an intellectual and practical approach to social problems. There are a few rumpus organizations at this Southern college that meet uptOtlMM standards.

The latest, The Student Social Interest Action Committee, though opposed, liandicapped, and pressured has done a tremendous service to the Farmville community and will continue to do so. Why don't more students seek this type of realistic and admirable involvement?

Longwood Day Students Not Aware Of Campus Activities

By CHRISTINE SHARP STAFF REPORTER From hearing opinions around campus, it has almost become a consensus that the day students felt left out of extracurricular activities. Because announcements are made at mealtime, it is hard for day students to find out about meetings and other activities. In an effort to discover how day students really felt, a survey was run. The questions were as follows: What do you think of Longwood as a day student'' Do you feel left out of extracurricular activities, and if you do, why?

The reactions to the survey were very good and also optimistic. Some of the comments were the following: A Junior, "Being a day student isn't so bad until someone finds it out."

A sophomore commented, "Longwood is a great college so why shouldn't we take advantage of it." Another sophomore said, "One of our biggest problems is not being informed of dining hall announcements." One of the Freshmen said, "I feel it's what we make it." Other freshmen said, "I don't see a thing wrong with it."

"Day students miss out on all the announcements that take place in the dining hall. We can't participate in activities until we get the word."

"Being a day student is not the worst thing in the world. We enjoy each other very much and become close friends. Being a day student may have its disadvantages, but there are some rewards. I've been one for three years and I'm not any worse off for it," stated a Junior. Joyce Foster, a Senior, voiced her opinion, "It is harder for a day student to become involved in extracurricular activities. A day student really has to be interested in something to take all the extra effort to become involved. I don't feel discriminated against because of my being a day student. I have dormitory friends and feel accepted."

From the comments it appears that most day students are not only satisfied with being a day student

but really like it. The greatest problems with extracurricular activities seems to be with underclassmen who have not yet learned the schedule of activities.

Victorian Institute Is Longwood's First; Termed A Success

By MARGARET BLAIR STAFF REPORTER The Victorian Institute held on October 24, the first of its kind at Longwood, may become an annual event.

The institute is designed as a forum where scholars can present innovative theories concerning different aspects of the age.

Dr. J. 0. Bailey, of the Department of English of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was guest speaker at this year's Institute.

He discussed Heredity in the novels of Thomas Hardy. Papers were also presented by W.T. Duke, R.T. Couture, and Dr. Rosemary Sprague, of the Longwood College faculty. Not only were politics, history, and literature brought out in their papers, but the discussion afterwards also ranged from topics concerning Darwin's Origin of Species, opera, art, and philosophy.

The attendance at the institute showed that Longwood was well-represented by many departments: art, education, English, speech, and philosophy among them. Visiting faculty and students came from Staunton, Williamsburg, Hampden-Sydney, Clinch Valley College near Bristol, Virginia, and also from North Carolina. However, Tery few Longwood College students attended.
