Curfew Changes Highlight Conference

Q - Why with all of the financial cut backs are there appearing on campus so -.nany extras like banisters at the steps of Lankford and Bedford, little white signs with the names of buildings and new drapes in the Rotunda?

J. T. A - Dr. Willett supplied us with the following answer: Banisters on the two buildings involved were necessary in order to eliminate safety hazards and are top priority items in my opinion. There have been several accidents on these steps.

We have received numerous complaints throughout the years for lack of identification of buildings. Funds for the signs identifying the buildings were allocated long before the budget cutbacks took place.

Q - Why were the state cars sent back to Richmond? Organizations are going to be put in a hardship when they want to take a trip. If we're going to save money, I can think of a lot of areas better than eliminating transportation. A. C. A - Dr. Willett forwarded this question to Col. Carr, Vice President for Administration, who supplied us with this answer: The justification for having the State cars is to provide transportation for members of the faculty who are involved in supervising student teachers and performing other official state travel. At the end of the student teaching period, we must send the cars used for that purpose back to the Central Garage. We have, when transportation is available, allowed student organizations to use them. All state agencies must submit a justification to the Central Garage when requisitioning and retaining state cars. Requisitioning and retention of these vehicles on the basis of student organization use is not sufficient justification to Central Garage.

To B. C. M., who asked the question about being able to study in Jeffers during the exam period, we've had some trouble getting an answer to your question. As of the time the Rotunda went to press, we had no answer. However, if the answer to your question has not appeared in the Daily Bulletin already, it will before the end of the week.

The Trials Of Judicial Board "Do you remember when you used to look up to the Judicial Board Chairman?"

Those of us who attended Senior Assembly and sat through the selection of the new members of Cahoots had this "remember when" hit us right between the eyes. There was a definite tensing in the audience, which grew more pronounced as the comments grew more biting and specific.

Frankly, I didn't find the comment surprising.

Excluding the freshmen and transfers, there can hardly be a student on campus who doesn't remember the extreme criticism that Judicial Board came under last year. For those of you who weren't here, students took issue primarily with the closed trials, the wearing of black robes and the fact that the accuser doesn't have to face the accused.

There was also a general demand for a counseling service to be set up and education for students in "college" law.

Judicial Board will have to face the fact that there is still much dissatisfaction among the student body as far as its operations are concerned. This was best evidenced by the opposition that was raised early this semester when the board wanted to extend its authority to cover incidents downtown.

Changing the robes to blue and writing down procedures were hardly enough change to satisfy the anger that was manifested last year. Nothing has even been heard of the counseling service since the first of the year. If it exists, it's more secretive than the board.

However, the comment made by Cahoots was a very personal one and has its basis only in the side of the coin just presented. If you flip the proverbial coin over, you see a somewhat different picture of Judicial Board.

How many of us could sit on that board, knowing fully that it's a job that has to be done, but that whatever decision is reached will affect a student, certainly for the rest of her college career, if not for her life? Many of us tend to look at members of this board as just other students, who run for a position in Student Government for a little glory and maybe to have a little power. I've heard them compared to gods sitting on Olympus, hurling down decisions in thunderbolts.

It's odd that the girl sitting next to you in class can be your best friend until you or one of your closer friends has to appear before the board. Suddenly she becomes a student-eating monster. It especially hurts if she is a friend and won't give you special consideration because of that.

These girls don't change like that. They don't take the jobs for glory or power. There can't be a job on campus that's any more deficient in either.

It's probably reasonable to say that they perceive a real need for the Honor Code and its enforcement.

They're sincere in trying to implement the rules in the fairest way possible for all students, without playing favorites for anyone.

There are still many things that I find disturbing about the way this board functions. I also think many students overreacted ridiculously to the Cahoots' barb. We have here a case where both sides are right. Change is needed and quickly, before the board loses all of its respect among the students and ceases to be a viable organization. However, the students on the board deserve some admiration for what they're trying to do. The project for next year should be to change the board, not the caliber of students serving on it.

On behalf of the staff, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a pleasant summer.

To the Seniors, who are reading their last issue of THE ROTUNDA, we wish you good luck in your chosen futures. We will be prepared to serve the new and returning members of the faculty and student body next fall. We think THE ROTUNDA has had a good year and, with the same help and cooperation, we can have another one next year.

%&kttÂť fctk (Qfrtor Appreciation Dear Editor, As a graduating senior, I would like to express my appreciation to the Administration, Faculty, and all the many people who maintain the facilities and services provided to students here at Longwood.

I appreciate Dr. Willett and the Administation's attempts to build a communicative relationship with students and the efforts of the Faculty to uphold a high standard of education.

I particularly appreciate the thoughtfulness and services of such persons as Mr. Carbone and the ARA Slater staff, Tim Brown and the Student Union, the Campus Police, the Buildings and Grounds staff, the Public Relations Office, and most important, the Placement Office!

Thank you, Brenda Allen

To The Seniors To the 1972 college graduates: When I think of what it means to be graduating from college in today's world, I reflect sometimes on the story that is told of an old and wise teacher in ancient Greece. It is said that there was no question which the teacher could not answer and nothing which he could not understand. Finally, one student thought of a way to discredit his teacher's wisdom.

The student planned to conceal a bird in his hands. He would ask the old man to guess what he was holding and, if he guessed a bird, the boy would ask whether it was dead or alive.

Should the old man guess dead, the boy would let the bird fly away. But, if the wise man guessed the bird was alive, the boy would crush out its life and open his hands to reveal a dead bird.

And so it happened, until the boy asked, "Is the bird alive or dead?" The old man replied, "My son, fhe answer to that question is in your hands."

Today the future of this Nation surely rests in your hands.

Whether the promise of progress and prosperity will be realized, whether democracy and freedom will grow, whether men

will continue to be governed by human wisdom - all this, and more, rests in your hands.

You are the best educated generation in our history. What will you do with your knowledge and ideas? How fully will you engage your mind and will and spirit in helping to make America an even better place to live?

I am hopeful that you will use your talents and knowledge to help make our Nation's ideals a reality. Now is the time for a future of peace, for more responsive government, for equal opportunity for aU. I congratulate you on what you have finished and look forward with hope toward what you can now begin to accomplish.

Tennis Courts Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to bring to light a situation that needs attention. This letter concerns the over-crowded conditions of the tennis courts, of which there are only six for over 2,000 students. Because of the limited court space (especially at night with only four lighted) it seems that student* and faculty would appreciate a reminder of the need for courtesy and consideration on the court. I feel that students and

faculty should never occupy a court longer than one hour, and they should play doubles if possible. When others are waiting, (and this is usually the case), promptness between and during games is certainly desirable. I want to remind students that we do have priority over local residents, Hampden-Sydney students, and faculty. On several occasions I have waited over a half hour to play and at least one of the courts has been occupied by HS boys. The only time I am successful in getting a court is when I carry racket and balls to a meal, rush through, and leave ten minutes before the general outward flow. Last Wednesday night I was lucky enough to obtain a court by following this procedure. My partner and I had played a grand total of 25 minutes when we were graciously informed that he had to leave to give our courts to administrative members. Needless to say, the relaxation gained from a few games of tennis seems hardly worth the frustration which parallels getting or keeping a court. I think the need for more courts or at least more consideration is strongly evidenced by the fact that our president has to "run off" students.

Sincerely, Lynn Woodlief

The crown of "Miss Longwood 1972" now rests upon the head of Miss Janet Leigh Howard. "I had mixed emotions at first," said Janet, who received the title through tlje reigning queen's retirement.

Amy Minter, could not be reached for comment on her retirement.

A junior from Roanoke, Va., Janet is a biology major who is undecided about career plans.

She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph D. Howard, of Roanoke.

"I am excited now and I am a little scared, too," began Janet, as she talked about the duties and pleasures of being the title holder. She plans to work on the steps for her dance routine, between studies and appearances as Miss Longwood.

About her talent, "My main interest is in animals and in the dance I am trying to portray the innocense of a baby chick, and show the laughter that is part of nature," explained Janet.

"I want to use the same basic routine with a few changes,' said Janet. The talent presented also included the ability to create and sew the costume which she wore for the dance.

As a student at Longwood College, Janet is active in many organizations. She was honored by her class by representing them in freshman and junior years on the May Day court. She served on the Virginian staff, and is a member of Lychnos, the honorary for math and science majors. She served as secretary for the junior class and was recently elected as secretary to the rising senior class. A member of Judicial Board and Sigma Kappa social sorority, Janet serves as secretary of Geist.

From her experience as a student assistant, Janet plans to be an orientation leader in the fall.

Janet was chosen Roanoke Valley's "Junior Miss" and went on to become "National Miss Breck of 1969." When asked why she entered the college pageant rather than the hometown one, she said, "I am proud and I want to represent Longwood College because I like it and really care for this school".

After finishing this semester, Janet will have five weeks to prepare for the Miss Virginia pageant. "I guess I'll rest up and work on my dance ant try to get a tan," noted Janet.

Residence Board Considers Curfew Changes

Radford Board Approves Changes In Social Rules

By PAM WATSON The board of visitors at Radford college, concerned by faculty unrest, students' complaints, and a sharp enrollment decline, approved last Tuesday a top-to-bottom change in the school's social regulations.

The board also approved a reorganization of the college's structure that was set up by the former president, Charles Martin, Jr. A school of arts and sciences of the familiar outline will replace the "division" system Martin set up. A still-to-be appointed dean will replace half a dozen or so division heads.

Dr. Preston Durril, currently head of the abolished division of natural sciences, was appointed by the board to become dean of the school of graduate studies.

Dr. Robert J. Miller was appointed dean of the school of natural sciences.

The newly created school of arts and sciences will combine the present schools of the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.

In other action, the board approved changes in social regulations that include relaxation of curfew and dormitory visiting privileges and an end to the college's attempt to control the activities of students while they are off campus. These approvals conform to recent court rulings concerning in "loco parentis" and acknowledges the General Assembly's recognition of the majority status of the 18-year-olds.

If the college had continued to lay down social restrictions on its students, it would have found itself in the position of regulating the social habits of the town's 18-year-okl registered voters.

According to Frannie Keys, president of the student body, a student committee began work about three and one half months ago on an 80-page report that included research done on rules of other colleges, results of surveys that had been sent out to students and parents, and students' feelings about present rules, and a list of proposed changes they wanted in social and academic areas.

This report had been approved by the college senate before being presented to the board of visitors.

The approved changes that will take effect in September include no restriction, on where students can spend overnights. For the first time Radford girls will be able to entertain visitors of the opposite sex in their rooms from six to 11-.30 p.m. on Fridays, two to 11:30 p.m. on Saturdays, and from two to seven p.m. on Sundays if a dorm as a whole votes and approves it.

SEE US FOR k 6001 SELECTION OF GRADUATION SIFTS!

A change was also made in the curfew hours. Students will not be allowed to have self-regulated hours. Under this ruling dorms will remain open until 2 a.m. on weekends after which all students will be able to obtain keys to the dorm with which they can come in at any time after 2 a.m. A parental notification form will be sent to all parents asking whether they approve of their daughter having self-regulated hours. If a student's parents do not approve but she engages in self-regulated hours the college cannot punish her for staying out past two a.m. but will send a letter to her parents notifying them that she has done so.

Frannie Keys, when asked about the past enrollment decline, said she feels that these new changes will have a definite effect on an increase in enrollment. "I am very happy and pleased with the concern and hard work of students that went into researching the report that caused these changes."

According to Lynn Nystrom, editor of the college newspaper, students are "ecstatic" about the changes, and the final guidelines will be completed in the next week.

Library Considers Circulation Changes

By VALERIE BLANKS The library staff is in the process of deciding whether a change is necessary in its present circulation system.

They are studying and evaluating other circulation systems to determine the one that will be the most suitable for our situation. If they decide a change, is necessary, they will ask the State Legislature to make the necessary funds available.

As the system stands now, books can be checked out for an indefinite period. This means the student is guaranteed two weeks to keep the book, but after that it is subject to call. If, for instance, after this two week period another student wishes to check out the same book and he asks for it at the desk, it will be recalled for him.

The major problem that has been incurred by the library is that of students taking books out of the library without signing them out, and then keeping them for long periods of time before returning them or not returning them at all.

To make the present system more effective, two changes will be made before summer school starts. The staff plans to convert all the entrances to the library, except the front entrance, to fire exits so that students will enter and leave through one door.

All periodicals will be put on the ground floor with an attendant present at all times.

Next year the library staff hopes to take a full scale inventory of the books to discover which ones are missing and replace the essential ones.

DINKI BURNER

Oinki Burner Represents Longwood At Festival

By JANET LYNN TENNYSON Miss Lila LaMerle "Dinki" Burner represented Longwood College as princess in the Apple Blossom Festival. The annual weekend, this year on May 4, 5 and 6, was held in Winchester, Va. A sophomore, English major, Dinki was one of the 27 princesses who was an attendant for Queen Shelly Moore, daughter of the West Virginia governor.

"It was hectic, but I loved the whole weekend," said Dinki whose home is Lurey, Va. "I met Billy Graham, Howard Kosel and Miss Virginia 1971."

By JANET LYNN TENNYSON Residence Board is investigating several schools in Virginia where there is no curfew system for female students. "We have called Mary Washington, Madison and Radford so far," said Terry Jones, chairman of Residence Board. This involves the change that Residence Board has proposed and is considering concerning curfew and open house.

"I had the meeting with Dr. Willett to discuss curfew," said Terry Jones, "and he wants us to work on a system."

At Madison, there is a requirement that all girls have parental permission in order to stay out past the curfew time.

"Longwood isn't even interested or considering this, we want no curfew rules for everyone, including first - semester freshmen," added Terry.

In its use at Madison, between 35-50 girls take advantage of the system on weekends. However, "it cost Mary Washington $400 to change the locks on the doors," noted Terry.

"We want to pass something by next meeting," said Terry, "so we can present a detailed system to the Board of Visitors in August."

The dining hall committee chairman, Denise Morris, read a

letter of reply from CHI. "There has been a desire on the part of the students to have a flag placed in the dining hall," said Denise, "so organizations were contacted and CHI is considering the suggestion."

Mention was made at the Residence Board that bicycles are being placed in front of the fire escape doors at Curry. It was decided tnat a sign would be posted regarding the nonobstruction of these doors.

Paula Williams, fire warden, said, "There will be no more fire drills this semester."

VAPHER Holds Meeting

By ROBERT H. SELLS The Executive Council of the Student Section for the Virginia Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation met last Saturday at Longwood.

Class Of 1972 Ends Year With 'Bang'At Assembly

By PAM WATSON Seniors ended their year with a bang last Wednesday night in Jarman when they presented the annual senior assembly "Cramalot."

A presentation was made first

by Mr. Blasch when he announced the charter members of Phi Kappa Phi for 1973. The requirements for membership is a 3.5 average for seniors and an average of 3.7 for juniors.

Those honored were: Phi Kappa Phi Chosen Seniors Mary Susan Adams, Cora Diane Bottoms, Mrs. Sammy Burnette, Mrs. Suzanne Carter, Mrs. Thelma Dalmas, Mrs. Sandra Gee, Donna Marie Gibson, Cynthia Nan Hudgins, Barbara Lynn McCord, Bettina Ann Moody, Janice Ann Meyers, Margaret Ruth Pulley, Barbara Jean Patterson, Cynthia Lee Tyson and Mrs. Sue Bonham.

Also honored were Juniors Patricia Diane Alley, Jeanne Brinson Davis, Nancy Lee Goodman, Gladys Arlene Green and Viola Lynn Hines.

The show began as Pat Necessary, decked out in top hat and tails, led the •choir' in their theme song - "Cramalot." The skits during the assembly depicted the events which occurred during their years as underclassmen. Some of the more humorous memories showed a freshman physical education class playing hockey. As one student recalls, I used to think hockey was a dirty word, now it's required." And then there was naive Nancy trying to sign out on the 'who, what, when, where, and how' sign out forms to go to her first fraternity party with Joe College.

Priceless Comments Interspersed between scenes, Pat Grady added such priceless comments as "Support your local book store - cash a check; Support the infirmary - eat Slater food; Support class colors - go

to class and take your coloring book; Support Willett - rally at the tennis courts; or Invest in the future - buy a yearbook."

"Smiley Deany" Wilson interrupted the program to make two very important announcements.

She announced that the college had contacted Jeanne Dixon and that Miss Dixon has denied her prediction that there will be a mass murder at a small girls' school; and students were asked not to use Steve McQueen's credit card number to call all over the U. S.!

Other scenes included a typical rainy registration and a roof scene complete with bathing beauties and a portable swimming pool.

Cahoots Remembers Cahoots stole the show as they began with their traditional remarks annually bestowed upon administration, fellow classmates, rules, and school organizations. This year they tried to bring back "freedom of speech as a part of democracy" by selecting some of their choice memories about Longwood and relating them as "Remember when"...

Cahoots then tapped in 14 Juniors who they felt met the stiff qualifications for membership.

Those tapped were: Diane French, Bobbie Crowell, Ella Becker, Joyce Page, Eleanor Challen, Kathy Kutscher, Kathy Simmons, Susan Hudginsk Cindy Dixon, Martha Ritchie, Jody McKeever, Kady Dale, Debbie Hyatt, and Brenda Gioninni.

ARC Awards At the conclusion of the show Dr. Gussett presented the Arc Awards to those girls who have shown outstanding work "behind the scenes" and have not been recognized by CHI or Geist. The seven girls were: Belinda Brugh, Nell Skinner, Kay Burcher, Rosie Davis, Nancy Reynolds, Kathy Hollins and Betsy Raines.

by ELLEN ADAMS The Longwood College Archery Team had its third meet of the year on May 2 at Westhampton College. Longwood won the meet with a total score of 2294 points over 2094 points for Westhampton.

Wanda Wallace of Longwood took first place with a score of 488. Diane Glascock and Judy White of Westhampton tied for second place with scores of 483.

Third place went to June Beninghove of Longwood with a score of 468.

The team ends its season with a 2-1.

Longwood Tennis Team Defeats WH By Score 5-0

By SHARON CURLING Longwood's Varsity Tennis team defeated Westhampton on May 10 by a score of 5-0. Those girls playing singles were Ellen Broderick, Charlotte Fugetteand Bobbsie Bannin. The double teams winning were Debby EllinCharlotte Fugette and Brenda Blackwell-Bobbi Ellin.

During the week of May 4,5,6, 7, members of the team attended the Alta Malta Tennis Intercollegiate Tournament at Mary Baldwin College. Those attending were Anne Ford, Bobbi Ellin, Charlotte Fugate and Debby Ellin. All four members played both singles and doubles. Anne and Bobbi represented one doubles team and Charlotte and Debby the other. Anne and Bobbi lost their first round of single matches. However, both played very well. Bobbi split sets with a girl from U. Va. and had to finish the match the following morning. She lost the third set to give the match to U. Va. Anne played and lost to a girl from Vanderbilt, who was seeded third. Charlotte and Debby won their first singles match.

Bobbi proceeded in winning her first consolation match and losing the next one. Anne, Debby and Charlotte lost their consolation matches knocking them out of the second round matches.

In doubles, Bobbi and Anne were teamed up with a third seeded team from Vanderbilt.

Inspite of a good show, they lost the match putting them out of competition because there are no consolation matches in doubles.

Charlotte and Debby won their round doubles by beating two girls from Va. Intermont. In the second round they were teamed up with two girls from Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt took the first set 6-1 which involved some long volleys. In the second set Longwood was ahead 5-3 and it looked like they were going to take the set. However, Vanderbilt came back and took the set and the match.

Badminton Finals Yield Winning Teams For Classes

Cahoots tapped their new members at the assembly.

Intramural sports entered their final events last week with the completion of the Badminton competition. The winning teams for each class were: FreshmanBetty Bryant and Marily Dull; Sophomore - Dana Hutchenson and Lucy Sale; Junior — Gail Gossage and Barb Cridlin; Senior - Martha Hicks and Kay Harvey. In the competition between these teams for class honors, Gail Gossage and Barb Cridlin won for the Juniors.

Champion Title In Golf

By LOUISE MOSS At the Virginia Intercollegiate Golf Tournament, held a May 6 and 7 at Longwood Estates, Penny Stallins successfully defended her title as champion of the tournament. The Longwood Golf Team also retained its title as State Team Champions.

The Intercollegiate Tournament is based on stroke play.

Any golfer who averages 110 or less and is on the team may participate in it. Longwood's team was composed of Coach Dr. Barbara Smith, Louise Moss, Ann Santore, Becky Bailey, Penny Stallins and Lisa Dixon.

On Friday, the golfers participated in a Team Best Ball Event.

In this event, two golfers team together, and the score is determined by adding the lowest score on each hole. Penny and Becky teamed together to win this event with a score of four over par 39.

Louise and Ann tied for the runner-up prize but lost to the VPBU team in a playoff on Saturday.

When the tournament was over and the scores were tallied on Sunday, Penny Stallins had won the tournament for a second time with a two day total of 165. Runner-up for the tournament went

to Sandi Hadaway of Roanoke College who shot a total of 177.

The Longwood golfers also received a silver dish for winning the State Team Championship.

In this event, the two day totals of all the team members are added together. Longwood had the lowest total with 742. Runner-up in this event was William and Mary with an 851. For the second year in a row, Longwood's name will be inscribed on the plaque at the clubhouse as being the State Team Champions.

Dr. Smith seemed to express the feelings of all the team members when she remarked, "It's been a wonderful season. I'm extremely proud of each and every one of you and will look foward to another great season next fall."

LEARNING WHICH DOES NOT ADVANCE EACH DAY WILL DAILY DECREASE

Colleges In The News Students Set Own Hours WILLIAMSBURG - New standards that allow dormitory students at the College of William and Mary to set their own hours for visits by members of the opposite sex have been approved by College President Thomas Graves. In a letter to student officials last week, Dr. Graves gave students living in college residence halls "selfdetermination in establishing the policies, procedures and administration of visitation for that hall." The new system will go into effect in the 1972-73 academic year.

Free Tuition RICHMOND - Dependents of full time faculty members in Virginia's state - supported institutions of higher education should be given free tuition, according to a resolution passed by the Faculty Senate of Virginia last week. The resolution was aimed at providing additional incentive and compensation for the faculties. Another resolution dealing with faculty compensation called for the governor, for state-supported schools and for the board of trustees of private institutions to see that funds appropriated for salaries of teaching research positions shall be restricted to that purpose. As a sideline to a request for a limitation on the powers of the executive committee, Dr. PattonLockwoodsaid the idea of State assistance to private institutions of higher learning met with antagonism at his college, a state-supported institution.

Nonresident Tuition RICHMOND -Out-of-state college students, who recently won the right to vote where they goto school may balk at paying nonresident tuition at Virginia colleges and universities next fall, college officials fear. State-supported schools charge substantially higher tuition rates for nonresidents, and the legality of the tuition differential is under court challenge in several states.

Virginia's tuition law, provides that a student must be a legal state resident for one year before he is entitled to the lower resident tuition rates. Some college administrators fear that knowledge of the legal challenges to out-of-state tuition might bring a flood of requests by students who are registered voters now because of recent Supreme Court ruling striking down residency requirements for voting. The law which is based on the economic rationale that state residents whose parents pay state taxes whould have lower tuition rates than that of out-of-state students. If such tuition laws are not upheld in the federal courts, the financial impact on statesupported college and universities would be enormous college officials say.

Enrollment Increase CPS - Enrollment in the nation's colleges and universities will increase 55% during the 1970*s and will reach a record 13.3 million by the fall of 1980, the U. S. Office of Education predicted last week. The projections, were developed by the National Center for Educational Statistics and assume that recent trends in enrollment, class size, per pupil expenditures and others will continue during the coming decade.

Sign-Out Procedure Approved During Legislative Meeting

By BECKY NICHOLSON Last week at the Legislative Board meeting, members revised the secondhand bookstore policy, approved a new sign-out procedure for dormitories, and announced the editor of the VIRGINIAN for next year.

Bookstore There is a possibility that the secondhand bookstore will not go into effect next Fall Mr. Harper has a clause in his bookstore contract that gives him an exclusive franchise on the sale of all textbooks - secondhand or new books. Since this legal technicality has arisen, Colonel Carr, Mr. Paul of the Business Office, and Bobbsie Bannin wiU meet with Mr. Harper this week to discuss this clause.

Although the Legislative Board approved the draft of the secondhand bookstore, portions of the policy were revised last week.

The major revision was in the "price change" procedure. Now a student may change the price of her book, but it must be changed during the first three days the center is open. The student may change the price no more than two times for any one book.

Sign Out Last week Residence Board submitted a new sign-out system to the Legislative Board which the Board approved. This change does not concern overnight trips, and turning your card to OUT when leaving campus until curfew will still remain the same.

The new system consists of a file cabinet containing boxes marked Monday - Sunday, one marked Indefinite, and one marked Infirmary. Each box has alphabetical dividers A-Z. In order to sign-out a student nils out a blue slip stating her destination and puts this in her envelope. Then the student signs out on the sign-out envelope. Next, she places her sign-out envelope in the box labeled the day she is to return to

school. For example, if she returns on Monday, she will place her envelope in the Monday box in alphabetical order according to the initial of her last name.

If for instance, the students' last name begins with "C," she places it under the "C" section, but not necessarily in alphabetical order with the rest of the sign-out envelopes already in that section. The Head Resident does not look in these boxes until curfew on the night in which the box is marked.

The sign-in procedure is similar to the old method. The student takes her card from the file box and initials it. Then she removes the blue slip and places her card back in her space on the rack.

Finally, students must inform the Head Resident if they plan to use the Indefinite or the Infirmary box. This will give the Head Resident some idea as to where or how long the girl is going to be in case of an emergency.

Frazer dormitory tried this system on an experimental basis, and it was successful as far as the students and Head Residents were concerned.

Committees It was also announced at the meeting that Publications Board elected Mary Alice Noel as the Editor for the VIRGINIAN next year. Barbara Deford became the new Business Manager.

The Infirmary Committee reported on its meeting to the Legislative Board last week, and made two proposals. First, the committee proposed that all rising juniors have a complete physical before their junior year.

Internal physicals would be considered optional for students.

The second proposal was that all participants in varsity sports should be given a physical every year. The Infirmary Committee wanted to get some opinions from Legislative Board before they presented their survey in the Fall.

Holton

Senate leaders Mike Mansfield, D-Mont., and Hugh Scott, R-Pa., returned to Washington last Sunday night from a three week visit to the People's Republic of China.

Neither senator would discuss details of their trip or talks with Chinese leaders until they had reported to President Nixon.

Kennedy Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, DMass., was quoted in a Boston Globe interview last Monday as saying "People understand where my sympathies are in this election. They are with Sen. George McGovern and the position he takes." Kennedy added however, that he didn't think a preconvention endorsement of McGovern "would make any difference anyway."

Muskie In a special interview last Wednesday night, Sen. Edmund Muskie, who has withdrawn from active participation in the preferential primaries, said that he though Sen. McGovern would have no trouble whatsoever in gaining the Democratic nomination, provided he won in the California primary. The California primary takes place on June 6, along with four other state primaries.

Byrd Sen. Harry F. Byrd, Jr., IndVa., said last Tuesday that the U. S. decision to mine the harbors of North Vietnam and interdict Russian shipping was six years late. "The President has taken a serious step. Had such action been taken six years agoor four or five years ago -the United States would have been spared many casualities and much anguish."

Primaries In last week's Democratic preferential primaries, Sen. Hubert Humphrey was declared the winner of the West Virginia primary by a 2-to-l margin over Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace. Sen. George McGovern did not enter the West Virginia primary, but he did defeat Sen. Humphrey in the Nebraska primary, accumulating a surprising number of votes.

(Continued from Page 1) He said that there has been more theft on campus in the past three weeks than any time he could remember. He also said that in the past few weeks there have been two Judicial Board cases involving suspension for theft, and that there are many pending.

"Everyone of us is going to have to do something if we're going to eUminate it entirely," he said.

"The time has passed" he said, "that we can leave a wallet or billfold sitting on a desk for a sustained period of time."

He told borrowers to be very careful and let the owner know something of hers is being borrowed.

He wished to stress the legal point that, "Any situation which involves forgery of a check or involves a banking policy is a felony under the laws of Virginia."

Civil authorities will handle any such cases, he said.

"Let's all please try to work together on this/' he asked.

Gov. Linwood Holton has been urged by Del. Warren David of Fairfax to call a special session of the General Assembly prior to July 1 to make the possession and sale of hashish illegal.

been set by the state. The first is anyone who already has the scholarship, regardless of class or major. Second is that juniors and seniors should receive it.

Thirdly come sophomores in certain subject areas - economics, sciences except biology, math, library science, industrial arts, special education, physical education for girls, kindergarten, primary, and elementary.

Mrs. Groneweg reminded students that the scholarship must be applied for on a yearly basis.

Need is not a factor he said.

Other Topics Discussed Other areas touched upon include the promotion of the campus police.

In reply to why two of the policemen who have been at Longwood for only four months were promoted over those who have been at Longwood for up to 12 years, Dr. Willett answered, "Time on a job is not the only thing to be considered."

He said that other factors, such as education and previous experience, are also taken into consideration.

As for the tennis courts, Dr. Willett said, "When our people come to play, they should have priority."

He said that students have the right to ask nonstudents to leave, or that they can get a campus policeman or a member of the administration to ask.

In regards to the proposed parking lot on Buffalo Street, Dr. Willett explained that it would cost $28,000 to refurbish the college-owned houses located at 300 and 302 Buffalo Street. Rather than let the houses stand unused, they would like to construct something.

One suggestion, he said, is to tear down the houses and turn the land into a mini-park.

To cut down on taking unchecked books from the library, Dr. Willett said that this summer he anticipates having only one access to the Ubrary.

To close the press conference, Dr. Willett wished to announce that the following areas are being worked on: 1. a committee for the selection of Who's Who; 2. more activities on week end; and 3. more informal sessions in the dorms similar to press conferences.

Greeks Donate Gift Landscape Funds For Stubbs Mall

By PAM WATSON Work began last week on the relandscaping of the mall between Stubbs and Lankford. The funds for the project were given by last year's and this year's Panhellenic Council.

A gift in the amount of $500 was raised from sorority dues and Hush fines and was presented to Col. Abrams two months ago for the purpose of landscaping Stubbs Mall. Col. Abrams consulted several nurseries for estimates and Bridgeman-Tyler Nursery in Crewe was hired to complete the project.

Shrubs, hedges, and approximately 35 pine, oak, fruit, magnolia, and crepe myrtle trees will be planted within the next week.

The landscaping plans that are being used are part of an overall plan for the college that have been approved by the State Art Commission and that will gradually be completed as new buildings are built and funds are raised.

According to Col. Abrams, no other organization on campus has supported any such project like this before. "Thanks and appreciation should be extended to Panhel for their hard work in raising this money."

Kappa Omicron Phi Inducts Members And Elects Leaders Kappa Omicron Phi, honorary home economics association, recently initiated new members and installed officers for 1972-1973.

By JOHN D. GUTHRIE Hampden-Sydney Correspondent The Prince Edward Volunteer Rescue Squad is now putting the finishing touches on their new building which is located on the corner of east Third and Bridge Streets in Farmville.

The building is designed to house six ambulances. As of now, the squad owns three ambulances, costing over $10,000 each, and also a Dodge crash truck and boat trailer which together cost $20,000.

Crash Truck The function of the crash truck and boat trailer is worthy of a word of explanation since not all rescue squads have these two pieces of auxiliary equipment.

The name "crash truck" gives some idea of its use. This vehicle is driven to the scene of any serious auto accident. It is fully equipped to answer most any need.

It has its own self-contained power plant generator system which supplies electricity to large mercury-iodide flood lamps which are fixed to the roof of the vehicle. These bright lamps will provide all the light that is needed at the scene of a night time accident.

So often you hear someone say that he or she was pinned in a car involved in a serious accident. The crash truck carries all emergency equipment designed to free a pinned victim in a wreck.

Other features that make this vehicle so versatile are its having four-wheel drive and a truckpowered winch. If, for example, a farm tractor has turned over on operator, pinning him underneath, an 'A' frame can be put into operation in three minutes so that the winch can be used, like on a wrecker, to lift the tractor off the victim.
