Betty Ann Glasheen Reigns As May Queen

Q - Will Longwood ever have, or is anything being done to set up a uniform grading system?

P. W. A - Dr. Blackwell, Academic Dean of the College, supplied us with the following answer: A uniform grading system is impossible unless you have uniform instructors. One English teacher, for example, might interpret an essay to be at "C" level while another instructor might consider the same paper to merit an "A". We do review the grades of all instructors each semester. Where the grades of one seem out of line with those of his peers, the department chairman reviews grading procedures with the instructor.

Q - Why is the Rotunda decorated in green instead of blue?

D. R. A - The following answer was forwarded to us by Col. Carr, Vice-President for Administration for the College: There are three basic reasons.

First, when Ruffner was renovated several years ago, the Alumnae requested that the Rotunda decor remain the same as it was before the renovation. Second, a shortage of money for the renovation of Ruffner Hall required that we retain the green rug in the Rotunda and allow for an application of only one coat of paint on the walls. To have changed the color decor of the Rotunda to blue, would have required purchase of a new rug, application of two or more coats of paint to the walls and disregard for the Alumnae request.

It was impossible to obtain answers to two of the questions which were turned in last week because of Dr. Willett's busy schedule. For the people who submitted those questions, they will appear in next week's Catalyst.

Children from the Campus School presented this year's May Pole Dance.

By VICKI BOWLING May Day 1972, held last Saturday, proved to be a busy day, with the May Pole dance, presentation of the court, reception, buffet dinner, and a concert by the Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band.

To begin the festivities on Stubbs Mall, Anne Scott, vicechairman of Student Union, welcomed students and visitors, and introduced several members of the administration who were present.

Dr. Lee Land, director of the Wynne Campus School, acted as master of ceremonies for the fourth year. Following a special welcome to girls who will be attending Longwood for the first time next September, Dr. Land introduced the participants in the traditional May Pole dance.

Children from the second and third grades at the campus school served as the dancers, under the direction of Mr. Bruce Montgomery. They danced barefoot, the girls in green print dresses and white scarves, the boys in white suits and sashes which matched the dresses.

Despite a few mishaps, the dance proceeded as scheduled.

The audience laughed in sympathy at the forlorn dancers who lost their streamers, and loudly applauded their appreciation and delight at the children's efforts.

Dr. Land then presented the May Court.

Heading the court was senior Betty Ann Glasheen as May Queen. Dressed in flowing white, Betty Ann was crowned by her father, Mr. Gabriel J. Glasheen.

ft

The Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band was a great success among those who attended May Day.

-.

The crown consisted of multicolored daisies, matching the daisies which the other court members carried.

Maid of honor Joan Putney assisted with the crowning. Other seniors on the court were Verona Leake, Pat Necessary, Ketsy Gibb and Sandy Cordle.

Juniors Susan Lewis, Mary Ann Boothe, Janet Howard, and Debbie Hyatt were also attendants.

Sophomores Barbara R e n i c k, Loretta Bunting, Jessica Jenks, and Rebecca Moreland, and freshmen Marsha Spear, Daryl Kay Driskill, Cydney Cherry, and Sarah Smithey comprised the rest of the court.

The dresses which the attendants wore, splashed with large different colored daisies, added to the fresh feeling of spring. Hatless, the girls carried single daisies, a different color for each class.

This year's flower girl was Diana Catherine Stuart, daughter

of English professor Dr. Donald Stuart. Diana smiled angelically in a long yellow dress as she sprinkled rose petals in the path of the May Queen.

Eric Land, Dr. Land's son, acted as crown bearer, and as Dr. Land said, Eric preferred to call himself "ring bearer." As he marched down the walk in his short white suit and red boutonniere, Eric seemed nonchalant about the whole affair. He stopped in shock at one point when a spectator snapped his picture!

A reception in the Gold Room followed the festivities.

At the buffet dinner that night, the Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band made a brief appearance to introduce themselves and their music. They were an immediate hit and induced many to come out to their concert that night who otherwise might not have attended.

Wearing silver and purple, the group played to an enthusiastic

crowd at their concert on Wygal Mall. Viewers ranged from five to 65 years of age.

Sounding like a full symphony orchestra, the Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band achieves its sound on empty oil cans, each cut to a specific size. For example, one size sounds like a bass drum, while another sounds like a violin.

Their repertoire ranged from "The Saber Dance" to "Jesus Christ Superstar" to "Cecilia."

It appeared as if they had something for everyone.

Still carrying paper flowers from the May Pole as souvenirs, several incoming freshmen voiced their opinions of Longwood and the day.

When asked if she enjoyed herself, one girl answered with an emphatic "very much!"

Another eager girl said, "I wasn't very excited about coming here in September until today."

Her friends excitedly agreed.

Betty Ann Glasheen is crowned May Queen by her father and Joan Putney as the court watches.

THE ROTUNDA

n IT.

Betty Ann Glasheen is presented to the audience by her father, Mr. Gabriel Glasheen.

May Day For many people in the world, May Day has become a special day for demonstrating force and voicing beliefs in political ideologies. It marks an official day of celebration for Communists all over the world, for it is this day, along with the birthdays of Lenin and Mao, when the Western World is given glimpses of Communist might through the enormous military parades which are put on. It is also the day which has been frequently chosen by student activists in this country to demonstrate their feelings about the government.

Longwood, however, has chosen to celebrate the other side of May Day. Long before world crises could be set off with the touch of a button, the festivities celebrated the coming of warm days and the reawakening of nature. Although many students are beginning to look at this type of festivity as irrelevant and ridiculous, it would be a tragedy to see this type of event destroyed by the callousness of the world we live in. Amidst the darkness and doubt, it's good to know that there can be a point of light.

The Student Union certainly tried to spread some of this light on Saturday. It would have taken a heart hardened to the point of being petrified not to respond to the children as they danced around the May Pole. The excitement and happiness they were feeling should have been enough to make the day worthwhile.

If this spirit began to fade as the day progressed, it was more than revived by the performance of the Trinidad Tipoli Steel Band. If garbage cans begin disappearing from the campus, we'll know that a Longwood Steel Band is being formed.

By all standards, the presentation of the May Queen and her court was the crowning point of the day, in both a literal and figurative sense.

Everyone expects the members of the court to look beautiful. It's the same idea that there's never been an ugly bride, but this court seems to have surpassed everyone's expectations judging from the comments. Even the once controversial and much-talked-about gowns for the court gave them a naturalness that suited the spirit of the day.

This spirit was personified to its finest capacity, however, in the May Queen. Betty Ann Glasheen must stand out as an exceptional choice for this position. She presented a figure of freshness, grace and a communion with nature that could in no better way sum up the real spirit behind the occasion. Betty Ann made a stunning symbol for the day.

The purpose of this euphoric rambling is to point out to those students who scoff at May Day that it has a real purpose. The Student Union, in particular Anne Scott, who as vice-chairman of the union, was chairman of the festivities, worked hard to make the festivities a success and would not have spent the time and money it did if there was no point behind it. Dealing with the realities and darkness of life is important and necessary.

However, if we lose touch with the simple things, reality won't be worth dealing with.

LYNNE

An Open Letter To The Student Body In the almost three years that I have been at Longwood, I can never recall having seen a retraction printed. I can't speak for the policies of past editors, but I can say that this has been true during the present semester because I have stressed to my staff the importance of reporting facts accurately and without bias. Now, because of my editorial last week concerning the Student Government Constitution and committees, the question has been raised as to whether I am capable of following the policy I have established for others.

The Right Words Normally, an editorial is much easier to write than a news story because it is not bound in a journalistic straight - jacket that allows only facts to be printed. Yet this also has the peculiar effect of making an editorial comment that much harder to compose. An editorial is written with the idea of creating an emotion and stimulating a particular response. Each word has to be carefully chosen or the entire meaning of the passage becomes distorted. Apparently, I made several mistakes in choosing my words last week because the editorial has been interpreted completely differently from my intended meaning by a great number of people.

The comments I have received infer that: (1) I have formed gross misconceptions about the role of class officers and (2) I made an unjustified attack on the Student Government. These are obviously points which require some explanation on my part.

Class Officers My conception of a class officer is a person who provides the leadership for a class and establishes policies that pertain to her class. She would be an active participant in the student government to promote the interests of her class and, hopefully, through these interests, those of the school. A person who is going to fulfill this role doesn't have the time or ability to also hold an office in the student government.

I was told after the editorial appeared however, that this concept in no way applies to Longwood. Class officers are only to be spirit leaders. Policies are to be established by the three boards only and in no way interfered in by class officers.

When I reflect on what class officers have been, it's obvious that they've never been more than cheerleaders. If this is what the students want, then there is no reason why an officer can't be a member of a board. That would be like telling the head cheer-

leader in a high school that she can't be a student government officer. My mistake was in seeing the position of a class officer as something more than this. However, if the students are satisfied in being led by cheerleaders, then there is no reason to change the system and I stand corrected.

"Unjustified" Attack Soon after the editorial appeared, I was approached by a fellow student who wanted to know why I dislike the present student government so much that I would make a "completely unjustified" attack on it. She challenged the right of the ROTUNDA to try and destroy the student government. Apparently, she has bought the image of the newspaper that has been created on campus because it often makes critical statements.

I've been trying to fight this image since taking the office of editor and I had apparently deceived myself into believing that I had made some progress. I find it very disturbing that, because one editorial is critical of the Student Government, suddenly the ROTUNDA is lighting the fires that are going to bring down the system.

Present Government I have a great deal of admiration for the present government officers. I can only echo the comments I have heard from other students, that this is probably the best Student Government Longwood has had in a longtime.

It has proven to be progressive and responsive to student desires. It has made a definite effort to implement itself into the campus life and to be a realistic and vigorous source of leadership. Each officer presents an image of dedication to her job and the students. The ROTUNDA would be the first one to stand in the path of anyone intent on destroying this system.

Because the Student Government has been so effective, one tends to forget that it has only been in office a bare three months. The shortness of the time span and the intense effort that was made to choose qualified people seem to explain why committees have been sluggish in getting started. A system of really effective committees is the goal of the president of this Student Government and getting this on its feet and working takes time time which I admittedly haven't given it. The only solution is to take a wait-and-see attitude and make a judgement after the committees have gotten started. However, I feel another guide to measuring the success of an or-

ganization, besides the new programs it introduces, is also the speed and efficiency with which the programs are presented. I hope it will not be next January before the students can enjoy the benefits of effective committees.

Reason For Letter This open letter to you is the result of demands from some students for an apology to the Student Government and a retraction of the editorial. I refuse to do either! Apologies are for when you say something you don't really believe or support. Retractions are for when false facts are presented. Neither of these applies in this case.

I still believe that the constitution needs reviewing. Ignoring the question as to the roles of class officers, there are still areas that need tending to and a review committee would be beneficial to the government in the long run. My information was neither incorrect nor unresearched. Some committees have existed since last semester and they are still sloppy. I will acknowledge that they perhaps need more time.

The purpose of this letter is not to change my editorial stand from one extreme to another. Rather I would hope that it shows how ideas can be moderated. As much as the student government officers, it is my desire to serve the students. If the students feel that more time is needed before a judgement is made, then my editorial was premature. However, to the students and government officers I can only say that criticism in the ROTUNDA is meant to be of a purely constructive nature and not destructive. The interpretation of this rests with each individual student, but the ROTUNDA will not cease to be an organization of critical examination because of anyone's interpretation.

Voice Majors Will Present Recital Wednesday

Medea watches Jason in his grief in learning she has killed their children.

'Stunning'Production Of 'Medea' Praised 4.8 Best Of The Season

By DAVE) VEST Longwood's theatrical season closed on a triumphant note last week with a stunning production of the MEDEA of Euripides, under the direction of Mr. Douglas Young.

This review isba.sed upon the Wednesday performance, which had several technical flaws, but to anyone who sawM EDE A, quibbles over the lights that came on late once or twice and the sound effects that sounded unsure of themselves will see m as trivial as the feminist hocus-pocus that was used to publicize the play (after all, it is pity and fear that make tragedy "relevant," not issues).

To begin with, no one who saw Belinda Brugh and Robert Mcllwaine play Medea and Jason is likely to forget it. Miss Brugh was simply overpowering. She WAS Medea, and the fullness of her characterization was a rare and distinct pleasure. Audiences will recall Mr. McILwaine's fine performance as ProsperoinTHE TEMPEST; he was in complete command of the role of Jason.

After first convincing us of a Jason who seemed indestructible, he made Jason's collapse more terrifying than the murder of Medea's children.

Although Medea and Jason dominate the play, the supporting cast deserves extensive praise.

Joyce Saunders was exceptionally good as the Nurse. It was the best job of playing an elderly woman I have ever seen by a college actress. The Nurse and the chorus of Athenian Women (played by Cindy Baugh, Lottie Lawrence, and Joanne Noseck) had the formidable task of re maining on stage, silent for long periods,

during almost the entire play.

They managed it well, and their gestures and expressions were nearly always interesting in exactly the right way.

Bridget MacKillop and Janet Baker played triple roles with efficiency and often striking effectiveness, especially in their male roles as Creon and Aegeus.

Kate Young and Nash Tatum were just right as the children. Space does not permit the credit the costumes, make-up, and set deserve, but they were all very good.

It was a full measure of the power of tragedy and all-in-all the best production I have seen at Longwood. If there was anyone in the audience who went to Jarman under the illusion that Euripides is kept around as a sort of duty to Kulture, he was unburdened. Aristotle praised Eurpides, in his POETICS, as "the most tragic of the poets," in spite of what he considered to be many stylistic flaws. It is uncanny that audiences living several centuries after the last time tragedy flourished can still be brought to agree. In our society most of the tragic flaws that caused the downfall of otherwise heroic men and women in Greek plays are not even considered defects of character.

I must also say that MEDEA was a fine finish to a semester that has been extraordinary for the arts in general at Longwood.

David Dellinger addresses rally at Hampden-Sydney last week.

The War Is Far From Over

By ROBERT H. SELLS Hamixten-Sydney Correspondent In the spring a young man's fancy turns to?

This spring is like several other previous springs to many college students. The dogwoods reappeared, if not exactly on schedule, at least in a profusion that was commensurate with our expectations. The grass that had become a lifeless brown during the long winter, is once again green. The robins, traditional heralds of spring, have made their presence known.

But, for many students, something else has returned this spring; something that many had hoped would not stare at us from this spring's headlines and obituaries.

The war is still with us. It is with the class of '72 as it was with the class of '68. It is with those who give brothers and boy friends and husbands and fathers, and it is with those who read about it in the RICHMOND TIMESDISPATCH. Protest Movements This spring was inaugurated with antiwar protests. Two weeks ago students at over 175 colleges and universities matched President Nixon's escalation of the Indochina war with the largest wave of antiwar activities to sweep across the nation since the protests over the Cambodian invasion in 1970. Strikes, rallies, teach-ins and marches were held as students celebrated the return of spring and denounced the killings in Vietnam.

Maryland Violence Maryland Gov. Marvin Mandel declared a state of emergency and called out the National Guard to maintain order at the University of Maryland at College Park, where three days of disturbances by as many as 2,000 students had involved rock and tear-gas battles with police and repeated blockades of traffic on crowded Route 1.

Peaceful Demonstrations Most of the campus demonstrations were comparatively peaceful. After a bitter meeting of the university senate, Colum-

bia joined 100 other colleges in a one-day closedown. 50,000 marchers converged on New York City to demonstrate in the rain against the war.

Last week at Hampden-Sydney 300 peaceful students and faculty members for H-S and Longwood rallied for two hours in the mellow of a spring night. And during those two hours, 200 tons of bombs we re dropped over Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. That is what the rally was all about. No policemen were necessary, no tear-gas escaped and no buildings were rocked or burned or barricaded.

Two slide programs were shown, two doves spoke rather plainly against the war, petitions were signed and a poignant ballad expressed one girl's sentiments against war.

Guest Speakers John "Dancing Bear" Leland and David Dellinger, a Chicago Eight defendant, were the featured speakers. Dellinger was a bit more persuasive and much more eloquent and sophisticated.

The main thrust of his speech was that we Americans do not stop to realize what is really happening in Vietnam. We accept, for the most part, Nixon's alibis and his nominal withdrawals, but we fail to comprehend the fact that though there might be fewer ground forces (and who really knows how many are actually there?) the numbers of bombs and bombings increase.

Nixon's Address This was demonstrated dramatically on April 26. President Nixon announced in a televised address to the nation that 20,000 more troops would be withdrawn from Indochina by July 1. But, President Nixon went on to say that the U. S. air and naval attacks on North Vietnam would continue. And they have continued. More than 150 fresh planes were rushed to the theater from bases as far away as North Carolina to assemble the strongest air and sea armada since 1968. The B-52 bomber fleet has been nearly doubled since the North Vietnamese offensive began.

U. S. Record In the first three montns of 1972, President Nixon has sent more bombing raids against North Vietnam than in all of 1971. Senator Harold Hughes summarized the findings of the Center for International Studies at Cornell University when he said: "The level of U. S. activity has declined in recent years, as measured by both sortie rates and bomb tonnage. The prolongation of the war, however, has meant that the Nixon administration has now dropped a larger tonnage of bombs in Indochina than did the Johnson administration. For the years 1965-68. the total was 3,141,000 tons of bombs. By the end of 1971, the total since 1969 was 3,304,000 tons. In all of World War II the U. S. dropped about two million tons; in Korea the total was about one million tons.

We have subjected an area about the size of Texas to twice as much bombing as we did in both World War II and Korea."

Student Mobilization Committee According to the Student Mobilization Committee "the government is not winding down the war; what it is attempting to wind down is the issue of the war

and sentiment against it. However, sentiment against U. S. involvement continues to be the number one issue in the presidential race."

War Issue The war thus becomes even more a political issue, rather than a military or pragmatic one. President Nixon's Democratic Congress has continually pushed for antiwar legislation.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee recently voted 9 to 1 to cut off all funds for U. S. hostilities in Indochina after the end of this year, provided North Vietnam and its allies agreed to release all U. S. prisoners of war.

This and similar legislative acts could feasibly pass in both the Senate and the House. Of course, President Nixon would almost certainly veto any such legislation, but the ensuing political embarrassment could become uncomfortable.

Democratic Candidates' Postitions Sen. George McGovern is the most outspoken political critic of the war. Campaigning on a platform of complete withdrawal of U. S. troops, McGovern redently stated that if elected he would order an immediate with-

drawal in his inauguration speech.

Sen. Muskie has pledged a similar withdrawal within 60 days of his inauguration in return for the release of all U. S. POW's.

Even Gov. George Wallace of Alabama has become outspoken against the war, much to the astonishment of voters everywhere.

"I'm for gettin' out," Wallace said, "it will be tough, but I want us out."

What Can Students Do? But, with all this rhetoric, the troops are still there. And the bombings continue and occasionally increase. What can we do?

We can pledge, as many did who signed the petitions at theH-S rally, to vote only for the presidential candidate who promises an immediate and complete withdrawal.

We do have a weapon. It was not made by ITT or GE or Westinghouse, but we do have an important weapon. This year more than 25 million 18 to 24-yearolds will be eligible to vote for the first time. This is a potent and impressive weapon. As David Dellinger said at the rally, "If the government does not stop the war, then the people must stop the government."

Colleges In The News Dorm Choice BLACKSBURG - According to Roland Wheeler, director of housing, and Landrum Cross, counselor for student programs, the new housing situation, created by the change in open house policy, may cause problems for next year's Virginia Tech students. Students' open house privileges will be decided by parental permission slips which have been mailed to the parents. Parents must sign for the student to live in either a dormitory without open house, with closeddoor open house, or open-door open house. All students, even if they are 21 and self-supporting must still obtain his parent's permission to live in an open house dorn. Wheeler said that the Housing Office is not opposed to students changing their open house classification during the year, but he also added that this might be difficult due to space limitations in the dormitories.

Due to the large number of students, upperclassmen may be turned away from dormitory housing since this is guaranteed only to incoming freshmen.

VMI Film LEXINGTON -Producer Frank McCarthy and writer Paul Casey have arrived in Lexington for research at Virginia Military Institute on the Civil War Battle of New Market, in which cadets from VMI played a major role.

McCarthy plans to produce a motion picture based on the battle with Casey, a veteran television writer. McCarthy plans to remain in Lexington for about a week, with Casey remaining for six weeks preparing an outline for the script. Casey, who recently completed the production of the Academy Award-winning film, "Patton," is a Richmond native and a graduate of VMI. Eliminating "F" WILLIAMSBURG - The elimination of the F grade, is a proposed change in the academic regulations at a meeting of the Committee on Academic Regulations at William and Mary last week. In a report the committee asserts that "the present system of grading is geared too much to recording what the student did not do, and it does so in an ambiguous manner at that. . . The ad hoc Committee feels that the primary function of grades on a student's academic record should be to indicate what has been achieved." Therefore, the Committee has proposed that the grades F, X (absence from the final examination), WP (withdrawn passing), and WF (withdrawn failing) would no longer be used, substituting instead the notation NC (no credit) in all cases except medical ones.

Rotunda Restoration CHARLOTTESVILLE - Edgar Shannon, president of University of Virginia, signed the contract completing the Rotunda restoration plans last week in ceremonies at Monticello. Tricia Nixon Cox, daughter of President Nixon, appeared at the ceremonies. In commenting on the project, Shannon said, "This is one of the most important moments of my life, to help bring about the restoration of one of Mr. Jefferson's finest architectural achievements." Shannon outlined the project's goals to restore the Rotunda to its original specifications and make it the "keystone" of the University.

Seven HSC Biology Majors Participate In Eight-Day Tour

By JOHN D. GUTHRIE Hampden-Sydney Correspondent Seven Hampden-Sydney College students, aU biology majors, are participating in an eightday tour of the Northeastern United States for the purpose of special study of the plant communities of that area.

According to Dr. Stanley Gemborys, who is conducting the study tour, the objective of the trip is to encourage the student to become familiar with the ecology and geology of an area to which he has had no previous exposure.

"The Northeastern United States provides a wide variety of habitats in a relatively small area and is, therefore, well-suited for study by groups like ours, which will be in the area for only a short time," he said.

Students participating in the tour, all of whom have completed a plant ecology course in preparation for the trip, are Joseph Nelson, Lynchburg; John Butzner III, Richmond; Philip Johnson III, Suffolk; Carl Foster, Wilmington, Del.; Vance Shields, Jacksonville, N. C; David Taylor, Bluefield, W. Va.; and Leith Hartman III, Charleston, W. Va.

Teacher Of The Year Gives Talk On Methods

By PAM WATSON Mrs. Virginia Rowe, a fourth grade teacher at William Walton Elementary School and Virginia's 1972 State Teacher of the Year, entertained last Thursday, May 4, in Wygal Auditorium with a talk on "Teaching in the 1970's."

She presented along with the use of an overhead projector and handouts for the audience, three different papers that she has compiled over her 29 years of teaching. The material was gathered from her own classroom teaching experiences.

Her first report was entitled "Accentuate the Positive; Eliminate the Negative." The different types of children were pointed out - such as the dishonest, the aggressive, or the slow learner, among others - and she then listed how to detect such sumptoms for these types, the possible reasons for their behavior, and how to remedy or better the situation.

She then discussed the problems of discipline and how to be an effective teacher.

She conducted the discussion much as she would her elementary classes, thereby making the discussion informal and everyone felt at ease to ask questions.

From time to time, she added funny comments of students or some of her experiences in teaching, and also imitated types of students or traits of a 'bad' teacher.

Questions were raised by the

Mrs. Rowe is a graduate of Longwood and Virginia Commonwealth University, where she is now presently enrolled in the graduate program. She was selected from 13 other nominees who were submitted by school divisions throughout Virginia to the State Board of Education. The award goes annually to a "skillful and dedicated teacher in kindergarten through grade 12."

By JOHN D. GUTHRIE Hampden-Sydney Correspondent Ten Hampden-Sydney College students will study and do independent research at the College this summer as a result of two grants totaling $9,080 from the National Science Foundation.

The grants, $2,120 to Dr. Edward Keiss of the physics department, and $6,960 to Dr. Herbert J. Sipe of the chemistry department, were awarded recently through the Foundation's Undergraduate Research Participation (URP) program. While the award to Dr. Kiess is the first in recent years to the physics department, the chemistry award marks its tenth consecutive grant award under the program.

The grants are aiming 310 awarded this year to 207 of the 447 colleges, universities, and nonprofit research organizations which applied for funds, and represent a total outlay of $3.9 million by the Foundation.

Under the URP program, students are paid up to $80 per week to conduct research and independent study under the guidance of established scientists. The aim of the program is to improve patterns of college instruction by showing faculty members the superior teaching effectiveness that results from placing major responsibility for learning upon the student. Projects in the program will last from 10-12 weeks.

three girls to sign up lor a fourgirl suite. The more this happened, the more roommates would have to be split up in the end to fill the vacancies. Also, any student who did not sign up for a room on her scheduled night forfeited her turn. Finally, a girl with a physical disability, such as asthma, had to be placed on a floor near the ground so that she wouldn't have to walk up ten flights of stairs after a fire drill.

One error she said she made was neglecting to find out when the seniors would graduate. She is in the process of getting this information now. Some seniors will graduate in January, resulting in more spaces.

She feels that the lottery system that Longwood uses is fair, as is the process of signing up according to class.

"This is one of the few class privilege we have left,'' she remarked.

She will work with students who are dissatisfied with their room situation from now until the end of school.

"If they come to me we'll take them on an individual basis, problem by problem," she said.

Norfolk Court Issues Order Halting Sale Of Term Papers From News Reports Richmond News Leader A Norfolk court issued a temporary injunction last week which caused a halt to a Tidewater company's sales of term papers to college students.

The order was issued in the city court on a complaint that was issued by the board of visitors of Old Dominion University of Norfolk. The suit was filed against James P. Duffy, who is an agent for the Resume Service and Termpapers Unlimited, Inc., of Norfolk.

The suit claims that the company has advertised itself to the student public as a seller of term papers since last October. The suit contends that the company provides a catalog containing titles of term papers that a student may purchase and submit to his instructor as his own work.

The company has advertised its service in the university newspaper and distributed handbills on the campus. The advertisements say the company charges $2.50 per page for a term paper already in its library; $4.50 per page for an original term paper; and $1.00 per page extra for a "rush job."

The suit asserts that the company keeps a file card on each paper, saying which professors at a school have received it and what grade it received and that if a paper receives more than two "C's" it is removed from the catalog. The university reports that a number of such term papers have been purchased from he company and have been sub-

left without rooms on the night they signed up were given the option of either being put on a waiting list or fillingextra spaces in the dorms. There were 76 students who chose to go on the waiting list, Dean Nuckols explained.

On Thursday the 76 students on the waiting list were assigned rooms on first floor South Cunningham, normally a freshman dorm.

"We knew we were going to have to open up another dorm," Miss Nuckols said, "but we weren't sure which one. South Cunningham seemed to be the best choice."

Various problems had to be taken care of first, she said, such as reassigning the resident counselors for next year.

"When you house 1500 students, there are going to be problems," Dean Nuckols admitted.

The idea behind the housing philosophy, she explained, is not necessarily to keep friends together, but to have a compact situation concerning rooms and suites.

She gave several examples of problems faced. They didn't want

mitted either in whole or substantial part under the student purchaser's name for class work assignments.

The suit contends that purchasing such term papers is "an intentional and unjustifiable interference with the relationship between the university and the student purchasing and submitting the paper, because it induces the student to break the rule of conduct he undertook to abide by when he entered the university.

One of these term papers, the suit said, "encourages, aids, and abets students in attempting to obtain a degree from the university by fraudulent means and seriously impairs the integrity of the university grading system."

The suit contends that the business activities of the company have directly "subverted the process of learning and encouraged plagiarism, academic misconduct, and intellectual dishonesty."

The court order will remain in effect until June 15 at which time a request for a hearing on the merits of the suit will be made on behalf of the university

by Atty. Gen. Andrew P. Miller.

The suit is seeking to have the temporary injunction made permanent.

Residence Board Discusses Banquet Room, Signing In

By JANET LYNN TENNYSON "The colors for the dining room-banquet room have been approved," said Denise Morris, chairman for the dining hall committee, "and the colors are basically blue." The committee chairman presented the decisions to Residence Board at their meeting, held May 2.

The walls will be an off-white with blue trim on the woodwork.

Carpeting in the new room will be dark blue and the drapes will be a blue and tan pattern. The chairs and tables will be walnut and the chair covers will coordinate with the room.

The board passed a change in the sign-in procedure. When returning to the dorm from an overnight stay, students are supposed to sign-in before curfew. As it is now, students failing to signin by curfew are given a warning for the first offense, and a campus for the second time.

The change will involve the following: for failure to sign-in by curfew, a student is considered late and will have two minutes taken from her late minutes each time the offense occurs. This change will be effective in the fall semester.

There was a lateness investigation report concerning a student who returned to the dorm one hour and 15 minutes after curfew. After consideration of the entire situation, Residence Board gave the student a one week campus.

Residence Board reminded students that late permission is only valid if the student attends the function for which the late permission was requested.

The proposals about no curfew and open house have been set aside for the time being. Board chairman Terry Jones said, "I have a meeting with Dr. Willett to discuss these." The main problem is that the proposals have not been discussed and considered for any length of time, so for now the proposals will have to wait until after the meeting.

Diversity In Higher Education Needed To Help Develop Individuals Condensed from the Richmond Times-Dispatch "What this country needs is a good woman's college."

Improbable as it may seem this statement might become entirely credible in years to come if diversity in higher education is not maintained, th e president of Sweet Briar College warned at a talk he gave in Richmond to the Woman's Club.

"If all higher education is standardized, we are denying the whole purpose of the educational process," said Dr. Whiteman, "which is not to aim for life adjustment, but to develop the individual. Some women simply don't flourish well in a coed school."

Noting a new resurgence of women's colleges after some 70 to 80 closed over the past decade or so, Dr. Whiteman said there are 180 to 190 left in the United States. Schools like Sweet Briar; Radford; or Longwood which has admitted a limited number of

male students, are "holding their own."

The question of preserving diversity is a vital one in regard to settling the financial crises that wrack most schools today.

Noting that higher education is no longer the right of the few, he said that financial considerations must now take in an open admissions policy at most colleges.

This can be manageable, if administrators can avoid making all institutions uniform.

Dr. H. B. Whiteman, who assumed his duties as the sixth president of Sweet Briar last July, reviewed the financial burden in the path of the course of education, and pointed out the dangers to of "too much management consultant efficiency" at colleges.

He related the story of the management consultant hired to reshuffle the business of a symphony orchestra. Pointing out that the orchestra had 12 violinists, the consultant suggested practic-

ally, "Why not cut it down to one and amplify him? " For just such a reason, one can't cut out experience at an institution.

"INSTITUTIONAL MANAGEMENT MUST BE PRACTICAL BUT ONLY IN PART FOR THIS IS THE GREATEST DANGER TO LIBERAL ARTS," HE CONTINUED, "WE CAN'T AFFORD, EVEN IN THEINTERESTOF EFFICIENCY, TO ABANDON THEM.' A final major point to consider in facing up to current financial crises is the pressure on universities to be "social agents." In pointing out new policies announced by Wesleyan and Yale universities, Dr. Whiteman said the schools have stated their purposes to be "for socially desirable objectives."

This form of management which he said involves the use of economic power in terms of stock and voting rights, "puts the schools in a dangerous position."

7 wrong reasons for having a baby 1. "You're married a year now. When are you going to give us grandchildren?"

2. "You want to have a kid, Evelyn? All right, we'll have a kid. Maybe that'll patch things up."

3. "Why knock myself out working when I can have a baby?"

4. "I bet my parents would send us money if we had a baby ..."

5. "Heh-heh, hey Frankie, what are jrcu «lld Margie waiting for?

6. "We only want two kids.

But if we don't have a boy we'll keep trying!"

7. "Sure I want babies. What else is a woman for?"

Photos by Leonard Nonet

These are just seven of the many wrong reasons for having a baby.

There's only one right reason: because you really want one.

And the right time is when you want one. When the baby can be a welcome addition, not an accidental burden.

Unfortunately lots of people who think they know how to go about birth planning don't. (Research statistics

show that more than half the pregnancies each year are accidental!)

That's not having babies for wrong reasons.

That's just being wrong.

Legislative Board Approves Second-Hand Book Store;Slated To Begin Fall, 1972

By BECKY NICHOLSON Last week the Legislative Board approved the corrected draft of a secondhand bookstore which will begin next Fall. The bookstore managers are volunteers who are obtained by LegMain Stn»»t

islative Board. The store will be located in the Honor's Council Room or the Y.W.C.A. Room.

The bookstore will operate for approximately one month. On the first week of its operation students will bring used books to the store, and the next two weeks will be spent in actually selling the books. On the fourth week students who have sold books will come to the store and pick up their money.

The managers issue two identically numbered cards when an individual brings a book into the store. The seller writes the following information on the card: her name, dormitory address.

post office box number, title of the book, and the price. After the card is completed the price cannot be changed!

One of these cards goes into the book, and one goes on file.

The card on file will have the policy of the bookstore on the back, which the student has read and signed. This policy will probably say that the bookstore will not be held responsible if books are stolen, although the managers will do everything in their power to deter possible stealing.

When a purchaser buys a book, she will bring the book to the desk, and she will place a check to the owner of the book or cash

into an envelope. The managers of the bookstore will stamp the date on the book to signify that it is sold.

A list of the purchased books is then placed on the door of the bookstore so that the original owner of the purchased book may pick up his money at the bookstore. The original owner of the book must pay a 10 cent service charge if she sells the book. If her book is not purchased, then the girl must pick it up before the deadline which will be posted in the daily bulletin. All of those books, which are not picked up before the deadline, are forfeited to the bookstore.

If there is any money left over from the bookstore, the Legislative Board will decide what to do with it. At this time there is no way of calculating how much will be left, if any.

Also, at the Board meeting last week, Becky Bailey announced that the library hours could be extended on the Friday before exams on Saturday. Due to alack of volunteers, the library hours cannot be extended over the entire week end.
