THE ROTUNDA

Wednesday, April 10, 1974

LC Students Cloistered By Choice'/ Long wood's annual Literary Festival is definitely one of the most worthwhile activities to take place during the academic year. It provides the chance for students to hear, first-hand, some experiences, ;ind opinions, as well as readings, of people active in a broad range of literary arts. By these standards, this year's Literary Festival was a success. In terms of participation by the student body, it was a little less than that.

Like any cultural event on this campus, the Literary Festival suffers chronically from a lack of student interest. It is understandable that it came at a time, this year, when many students were overburdened with work. And it is also understandable that some students are simply not as interested in this field as they are in others. However, it is hardly understandable that attendance could be as poor as it was. (One event was attended by only three people.)

It is a common criticism of traditional education that it is too oriented to the classroom and textbook, and too much emphasis is placed on grades.

As a result, students merely regurgitate memorized material on written tests, forget it immediately, and therefore graduate with a very limited and narrow field of knowledge. I can hardly disagree with this, but it must be admitted that occasionally colleges will offer the chance for a worthwhile, memorable learning experience outside the classroom. When it does, it is rather sad to see it virtually ignored by an overwhelming majority of the student body.

This is even sadder, however, when one considers that such events are, for the most part, funded by student activity fees. This provides concerts, lectures, and other programs to students virtually free of charge, which they would have to pay dearly for outside of this institution (should they even have the opportunity to see them).

Many students have expressed the opinion that too much money is appropriated on this campus for athletic and religious organizations, saying that, as a college, Longwood should emphasize thefinearts and academics more. Could the school be justified, however, in spending overwhelming sums of money for activities that are supported by only a mere handful of the student body? And unless an event is as exciting as the frisbee championships, provides free highs on Jesus jellybeans, Longwood ladies are very reluctant to attend.

If too much emphasis is placed on athletics and social events at this school, the student body as a whole must share a large responsibility for the blame. And if they graduate from here as educated idiots, with no idea of current trends in literature, art, politics and feeling that the only thing they have learned here that will stick with them is the route between Farmville and their home towns, they must share part of the blame for this themselves, too. Longwood does occasionally provide opportunities to broaden one's horizons, and to exercise one's mind in other ways besides rote memory Like others, I feel that certain activities should receive more financial support. However, the priorities given can only be a reflection of the student body - JANE -

Spontaneous Christian Dear Editor, I would like to reply as one of the "Holy. Rollers" to the letter in your Wednesday, March 13 edition.

I am truly sorry that this person (and perhaps others) considers our spontaneous sing on Lankford steps "planned" to keep away the evil streakers. We had no knowledge that there would be streaking that night. The sing started because it was a beautiful night and we all wanted to sing something that was meaningful to us, to praise the Lord. As for the idea that we were advertising for Religious Emphasis Week - it never entered our heads.

I am sorry that this person was turned off to Christ by someone mistakenly telling her that she had to announce out and cry publicly about accepting Christ as her Lord. This is wrong. No, you WON'T go to hell, you don't do these things. It's ridiculous! This person whom she talked about should have considered Matthew 7: 1. Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2. For with what judgement ye judge ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

This is in reference to her saying of that person that he judged people (which we are all guilty of) as to their destination. And how does he know that, ". . .he ha^a reserved seat in heaven!'?

Look to John 14: 1. Let not your hearts be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

This assures us that if we believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior we have a place with Him! it is one of the most POSITIVE assurances that God's Word gives us! Jesus is a PLUS in life!

I know Jesus was proud of us Thursday night now that I think about it, because He says that a SPONTANEOUS witness of His glory was pleasing in his sight.

With His Love, "Tommie" Wells

No Interaction Dear Editor, During our three years at Longwood, we have noticed that little, if any, interaction (taken place) between the departments of the College. While attending sports events, we have seen only Physical Education instructors present. During the Literary Festival, we saw only English instructors at the readings. Why? We realize that the instructors are busy within their own department, however, we feel that Longwood would benefit greatly if the departments supported one another.

Name Witheld by Request

Irony And Wasted Energy Dear Editor, In response to Martha Morris' letter concerning the Terri McKee's of this campus, I would first of all like to say that the opinion stated was my own personal one and was not intended to be stereotyped. There seems to be a lack of understanding.

Hopefully, I will clear this up.

First of all, in my one sentence quote in the Rotunda I intended only to state that the black students' opinions seem to imply that they are being discriminated against concerning the rooming

situation, and they feel that in this case they are being alienated from the rest of the student body.

I also stated that it appeared ironical to me that the black students voiced a need for separate "or special" activities (AAA) and in this way, in my opinion, they would alienate themselves.

I agree with the need for black courses in the curriculum, because it would be totally voluntary as whether to take these courses or not, but in regards to the "special activities" I feel that in reality the black students would be segregating themselves from the student body.

If you feel that changes in the extracurricular activities are needed I think that the best way to achieve success in this bureacratic society is to work within the system. Because of our bureacratic society, effective changes generally do not evolve from a separate entity, but through slow changes from within. I believe that this applies especially to the formal and structured norms of this college.

In regards to your comment on your opinion of the policy of the sororities regarding their lack of contacting black students I would like to state that sororities never approach any student regardless of race concerning their participation in Rush. An act of this sort would violate Panhellenic Rush Rules. You also mentioned that your classmates didn't ask whether you were going through rush or not. I really fail to see the significance of this.

In my summation, I feel that too much of your energy is being spent by working through a separate organized group. I believe that your efforts would be more wisely spent with constructive participation in numerous college activities.

Terri McKee

Be careful with fire.

Remember: there are babes in the woods.

And those baby fawns, rabbits, squirrels and trees need ,i safe, happy home They need a place where they can grow up strong and healthy.

Rosalind Schneider To Be Presented In Bedford Farmville, Va., April 3,1974 - Rosalind Schneider, painter, sculptor, and independent filmmaker, will be featured in a special presentation entitled "The Artist as Filmmaker" on Wednesday evening, April 10, at 7:30 in Longwood College's Bedford Auditorium.

The presentation will include the showing of Ms. Schneider's film triptych, "Parallax"(shown on three screens), and a discussion of the artist's interest and development in filmmaking as it relates to her work as a painter and sculptor. She will also show slides of her paintings and sculpture.

When premiered at the New York Cultural Center, "Parallax" was acclaimed as "an original, engrossing art experience." The public is cordially invted to attend this program.

Ms. Schneider will also meet informally with groups of students on Wednesday and Thursday to discuss basic concepts and techniques of Super 8 mm. filmmaking.

This presentation is the first in a special program at Longwood College concerned with filmmaking and related forms of graphic arts. The program is funded by a matching grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Virginia Commission for the Arts and Humanities.

Barbara Bishop, chairman of Longwood's art department and director of the filmmaking program, explained that the grant is for the establishment of "alternative education programs -

to finance involvement of resident and visiting filmmakers who will offer participants opportunities to learn the concepts of filmmaking and related graphic design."

She added that the program will concentrate on developing the talents and skills of high school students, college students in teacher-training programs, and professional educators in the area through workshop participation and critiques focusing on communication media.

Ms. Schneider began her career as a painter after studying at the Art Students League In New York and attending the Syracuse University School of Fine Arts. She has had one woman shows of her paintings, prints and sculpture since 1963.

During the past several years, Ms. Schneider has Increasingly turned to filmmaking. Her main technique is the use of multiple superimpositions. "There shouldn't be two things lying flat together on the screen," she says. "I want to fuse them to create something new and abstract, then separate them, building tension, then fuse them together into something different again." She does her own camera work and film editing.

Her films have received critical acclaim at the Whitney Museum New American Filmmaking Series, Yale Film Festival, Festival of Women's Films in New Ycrk, Women and Film International festival in Canada, and the New York Cultural Center.

"A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM" APRIL 18-20

Company Of Dancer's Spring Concert "A Rare Cultural Event" A REVIEW

By DEBBYE TEABO Anyone who missed the Longwood College Company of Dancers' Spring Concert, missed a rare cultural event on Longwood's campus. The concert was performed on April 2nd, and it was dedicated to Nan Pace who has been a member of dance company since 1971.

The program was made up of 11 dances. The first -Hisoarawas choreographed by Nan Pace.

Nan's use of interplay between the dancers made this dance excellent. Linda Morris, Nan Pace, Marsha Spear, Penny Worley, and Carla VanFossen all danced with superb technical ability, thus making this Nan's best dance yet.

The second dance was entitled Srachma. It was a solo, danced and choreopgraphed by Vickie Hileman. The costuming and lighting were excellent in this dance, but the dance itself left the audience somewhat disappointed. There was not enough development of It. Enigma, the third dance on the program, was choreographed by Cindy Williams. This was Cindy's first attempt at choreographing, and overall it was a success. At times the dance was a bit dependent on the music, but Becky Phipps, Carla VanFossen, and Cindy Williams danced well, and there were interesting movements in the dance. Another choreographer who shows great potential for later choreographing Is Angela Carrington. In Plrithivi the lighting, costumes,

and movements were soft and yet dynamic. The ending was fantastic. The dancers in Pirithivi were Betty Edwards, Cyndi Davis, Anmarie Nemetz, and Angela Carrington. A real crowd pleaser, Nostalgia was choreographed by Harriet Bagwell. The dance was jazzy and light, and good contrast to the previous dances which were somewhat somber and heavy. The only fault with this dance was the inconsistency within it. The movements in the dance were from the 60* s. The costumes were from the "Roaring Twenties". And the music was definitely from the 40's. However, most of the audience consisted of college students who were born in the 50's so that this inconsistency was overlooked. Harriet Bagwell, Yetta Daniels, Patty Merrell, and Becky Phipps made this dance a fun one to watch.

The next portion of the program was composed of four dances and was called Zodiac Images. The first dance, Gemini, was a duet choreographed by Nan Pace and Vickie Hileman. The dance was developed pretty well, but both dancers are so technically strong that they couM get out on the stage and do a two-step and it would turn out a masterpiece!

There were points in this dance where the individual dance styles of Nan and Vickie were noticeable, but overall the dance was very good. The second dance was duet choreographed by Susann Smith, and danced by Susann and Cindy Williams. The

movements were interesting and Susann shows great potential for future choreographing. Aquarius was a soft, flowing dance. Yetta Daniels choreographed the dance, and Cyndi Davis danced with her.

This was Yetta*s first attempt at choreographing and it was a successful attempt. Yetta is a very individualistic dancer and I would like to see her dance a solo at some future date. Aries, the last dance in the Zodiac, was one of the best dances on the entire program. Through Carla VanFossen's excellent choreographing the dancers gave the audience the illusion of fire. All of the dancers had clear, sharp movements and Carla, being costumed differently, became the central figure in the dance. The other dancers in Aries besides Carla were Mandy Crisp, Betty Edwards, and Sandy Williams.

The final dance on the program, Murala, was choreographed by Vickie Hileman.

Vickie has previously proven herself to be an excellent dancer and choreographer, and this dance proved no exception. All of the dancers - Vickie, Ann Whitaker, Peggy Childress, Angela Carrington, and Penny Worâ&#x20AC;˘ ley - executed the dance very well. My only regret about this dance was its placement at the end of the concert. Murala was a somewhat moving dance that left the audience on a somber note. A better placement of the last dance, perhaps Nostalgia, would have won the dancers a standing ovation which they truly deserved!

Literary Festival Draws Small Crowds, But Still Termed Fantastic

By KAREN FOSTER "It's a littledi ing when you work so hard for something

and then you don't have a big turnout," stated BrendaBurchett, editor ol tl, re" and head

of last week's literary festival, "but all in all, I think the entire festival was fantastic."

The third annual event opened last Wednesday with a short story reading by Mr. Otis D.juglas.

Set in a Virginia marina, it centered around a troubled alcoholic.

U dnesday evening, D;\ Quen* tin Vest presented his poetry to a small audience. Ranging from humorous to serious, he entertained the listeners with several stories concerning the origins of the poems he read.

Mr. Jerry Brown opened Thursday's sessions with a reading of his short story, "The Two Lovers", a different type of love story set in the South and narrated by a young boy.

"Directions in Contemporary

asked in 20th century drama are ones of survival; "what is it impossible for a man to do or what is it really possible for a man to do."

"The new drama," Mr. Young contended, "is supposed to be a rational statement of emotions and instincts."

Dr. Hooker pointed out "a verydefinite parallel between cinema and literature" as film "owes a great deal to drama and the novel." However, she stressed the "analogy between film and poetry only when you have an artistic film" â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as opposed to a commercial one.

"All major countries of the world have a cinema, just asthey have a literature," Dr. Hooker continued.

Mentioning the "great importation into the United States in past years of literature from other countries," Dr. Vest pointed out what he termed "the scholar's nightmare: - translations by writers who cannot read the poem in its original language. In addition, he stated that "the idea of an antagonism between a poet and the audience he's supposed to have is fading away. Poetry doesn't have to be unintelligible to be good poetry."

"Literary art,: Dr. Vest later

added, "gives us the image of man as he is in our time."

Thursday evening, James Seay of Vanderbilt Universitypresented a readingofanumberof poems from his books. Friday morning, he talked about poetry and threw the floor open for questions and experiences.

His poetry, Mr. Seay explained, "starts with an idea -something abstract," and he constantly searches for '-new metaphors and images. "To avoid imagery," he stressed, "is to fall into poetry which is terribly dull."

Friday afternoon, originallyscheduled for student readings, featured Dev Hathaway, a poet from Charlottesville.

"Overall, the whole thing went well. I was a little disappointed at the number ofpeoplewho came because we worked hard to get this thing for the whole school," Brenda Burchett said.

"Everybody that participated in the Festival was tremendous.

I think it's fantastic that we have so many on the English faculty who have so much to offer.

"I think Mr. Seay is adynamic individual and a great poet, " she concluded. "It's just too bad more people didn't see it, because the entire Festival was an event to be remembered."

Three genre were represented: drama by Mr. Douglas Young, film by Dr. Charlotte Hooker and poetry by Dr. Quentin Vest.

kiary Baldwin Speaks Cut Cn Honor System STAUNTON, VA. (I.P.) - "I have an awful time conceiving what things would be like around here if we didn't have an honor system," commented Dean Marjorie B. Chambers of Mary Baldwin College. "Would it simply be everyone for herself?"

This is a common question in a community which subscribes to the principle of honor as its verybasis. Yet perhaps arising as frequently are questions and expressed concerns about the viability of an honor system in light of its seeming occasional ineffectiveness, the justness of its decisions tangibly manifested by direct action.

"The honor system is clearly dependent upon student initiative, enforcement and support," commented President William W. Kelly.

Patty Lacy, '74, Honor Council chairwoman, views the foundations of the honor system as even more basic. "Common sense on the part of individual students is so much a part of maintaining and enforcing an honor system," she asserts.

According to Dr. Kelly, Mary Baldwin's honor system works very well in the opinion of outside observers. "This may be attributed to our compact campus and the close community of mutual trust which results," he noted.

At times, however, these same factors may prove deterrents to the honor system. A strong sense of community allows students the option of choosing to view "their

faith in one another as more important than the system itself," Dr. Kelly noted. "That you have to rat on your friends is an indigenous complaint under any honor system," he added.

Acknowledging that certain sentiments might prove detrimental to the concept of honor, Dean Chambers noted the paradox of an honor system. "It's a form of life that's difficult to start if you don't already have it. Because "each individual has a personal code of morals, all aspects of community life cannot be covered by the most effective of honor systems," she remarked.

"An honor system can be burdened down - made to cover far too great an area," agreed Dr. James Lott, associate professor of English and advisor to the Honor Council. For this reason Honor Council concerns are limited to include "only those forms of lying which prove harmful to the communal life at MBC," Dr. Lott explained.

"There are many kinds of lying that we can't include under our jurisdiction," Lacy noted. "Lying may be personally unethical without infringing upon the rights of the entire community," she added.

Instances of lying about judicial infractions tend to fall within this personal category. Such incidents serve to point up the need "to better define where the jurisdiction of the Judiciary Board ends and that of the Honor Council begins," Lacy said.

Grant Provides Funds For New AV Kquipment Longwood hti recently obtained a tirant from the federal government, to be matched with Institutional funds, to purchase new audio-visual equipment.

TIM equipment will provide facilities for students to view filmstrips which would have ordinarily been shown during classroom time on their own time. It also includes tape duplicators which will make eight cassettes simultaneously.

A synchronized tape recorder will also be included in the purchase. This will enable slides as well as tapes to he made for student use.

According to Mr. Tom Hamilton, Director of Developmental Research, the ultimate result of the equipment could be that a

movie could be made of an entire course, and left in the library for students to view at will. Exactly how much actual effect it will have on teaching m?thods "remains to be seen," Mr. Hamilton said.

The grant originated from a report made during Longwood's Self-Study and Evaluation Program last year, that students were not having enough exposure to audio-visual materials.

A committee was appointed to Stud) the situation and draw up a list of needed equipment. The committee "worked on the principle of simple to the sophisticated," said Mr. Hamilton.

Upon arrival of this equipment, the only audio-visual capacity which will be unavailable to Long-

LongwoocTs Lacrosse Season Opens With Three Losses Longwood College opened their season with a game at William and Mary which they lost 10 to 5. Miss Hoffman (the coach) believes that "we may have lost in points but we won in spirit."

Since it was the first chance to play as a team, the girls did a great job. This is me first time many of the girls have even played lacrosse, and they came through beautifully.

The second lacrosse game was "home" against Miry Washington on April 3, which Longwood lost by a close score of 10 to 8. The team played well keeping in close contact with Mary Washington's players, preventing

more goals from being scored.

Saturday, April 6, saw Longwood play their second home game of the season, losing 11 to 5 to Bridgewater College. The score may be high, but the game was well played with Longwood making some fine plays.

The team members of the 1974 lacrosse team include: Sue Ball, Katrina Bateman, Sue Bekus, Brenda Blackwell, Donna Brabaker, Liz Carroll, Emily Easter, Jennifer Edwards, Jenny Marrow, Barbara O'Brian, Terri Sawyer, Karen Smith, Kim Stacy, Debbie Thomason, Sandy Woods, Brenda Jordan, with managers Miry Thornhill and Judy Adams.

Interstate Agreement Cheapens Out Of State Graduate Work ATLANTA - Students in several Southern states, tentatively including Virginia, can now enroll on a resident-tuition basis in selected graduate programs in other states.

The arrangement, which will become effective this fall, is made possible through the Academic Common Market, a project of the Southern Regional Education Board. The interstate agreement provides for the reciprocal sharing of academic graduate programs.

Students from participating states will have access to master's or doctoral degree work in such fields as African history, home economics, radio astronomy, water pollution ecology or nuclear engineering - to name a few of the program entries.

Thus far, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee have joined the Market.

The participation of Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia is tentative but expected in the next several weeks - pending, in some cases, only the almost certain ratification of the agreement by state legislatures or boards of trus-

tees.

The programs in which residents of a participating state can enroll depend upon their state's arrangement. Under the Common Market agreement, each member state puts a number of its programs in a "market pool" and then arranges for its residents to have access to out-of-state programs not offered in its own institutions.

The number of out-of-state programs thus made available at in-state rates ranges from Maryland's five to the 80 West Virginia will offer its residents, provided pending legislation there allows that state's entry into the market.

By making such programs available to students, needless duplication of graduate programs will be avoided.

As Dr. William Hovenden, who directs the regional administration of the program, phrased it, "It is not only impractical and expensive, but also nearly impossible for any single state to provide the full array of programs required to meet the diverse higher education needs of its citizenry."

On the other hand, by offering highly specialized programs to out-of-state students at in-state rates, praticipating institutions will increase enrollments in such "uncommon" programs which, in many cases, have the capacity for additional students.

More specific information can be obtained from the Virginia state Mr. Gordon K. Davies. Mr. Davies is the associate director of the State Council of Higher Education. His mailing address is: 10th Floor, 911 Board Street, Richmond, Virginia 23201.

Current Crop Of College Students Finds More Problems Than Solutions With Liberated Sex "I sometimes think we'are all victims of the new morality," says a 22year-old UCLA senior interviewed for the just-released April McCall's article, WHY YOUNG PEOPLE ARE TURNING AWAY FROM CASUAL SEX. "When I was growing up, it was regarded as taboo to admit you weren't a virgin. Today it's almost the reverse. If you're a virgin you're considered a curiosity."

In gathering data for the article updating student attitudes toward the sexual revolution they inherited from their older brothers and sisters, authors Kenneth and Betty Woodward talked to hundreds of young men and women, many of whom reflect the feelings of the Michigan coed who said, "I sometimes wish I were in college ten years ago, when people just dated. I think I would have been happier."

According to the McCall's report, "Hundreds of thousands of young Americans are entering college to find themselves in the middle of a sexual revolution they did not create but one that has shaped their lives ... Many students now find that sexual liberation has not been liberating at all." The new-found freedom has not only failed to solve old problems, but has created awholeset of new ones, causing students to "look wistfully back to the days when dating, not mating, was the expected behavior on campus."

"It now seems clear," say the Woodwards, "that after a period of promiscuous sexual experimentation, a growing number of young men and women are embracing what Columbia University psychiatrist Joel Moskowitz calls 'secondary virginity:' a self-imposed chastity born of sexual disillusionment, insecurity, and oftentimes emotional confusion."

Having interviewed campus counselors, psychiatrists and gynecologists as well as students, the Woodwards make several observations about current attitudes toward sex on campus and the reasons behind them. ♦Though the sexual revolution has produced a mass of information on human sexuality available to the public, most college level students remain relatively ignorant on the subject. Dr. Richard V. Lee, director of medical clinics at the Yale school of medicine says, "The notion that young people know more about sex than their parents has not been demonstrated in my medical practice." * "Short of peeping into keyholes, there is ... no way of knowing how many of the 10 million college students have had sexual intercourse." However, the just published FEMALE AND MALE: DIMENSIONS OF HU-

MAN SEXUALITY, by Dr. Elaine Pierson and Dr. William V. Lee indicates that "By the age of 20, 40 per cent of all white students from middle-class families or better, no longer are virgins. These families produce the bulk of today's college population." *The Woodwards believe the sexual "myths" that abound on campus becloud statistical information. Enormous peer pressure resulting from the sexual revolution which allows, if not encourages, sexual activity on campus has, according to Dr. Lee, created "a new sexual ideology (that) is as dictatorial and cruel as Victorian prudery ... It refuses to accept virginity as a reasonable way of life . . . It allows no choice - it's liberation or nothing." As a consequence, students are reluctant to discuss their sexual activities. One Michigan senior told the Woodwards that "it would be easier to interview a homosexual than to find a virgin willing to talk," and a social worker at UCLA commented, "It's pretty awkward for a student here to admit that he or she is a virgin." *The double standard still prevails, "None of the young men we interviewed," say the Woodwards, "would admit being a virgin and most seemed to feel that sex was their right in any close relationship. But few women endorsed such a casual approach to sex." *The ambivalence of student values reflects the confused standards of their parents. Dr. Moskowitz claims: "Today's students have been getting mixed signals from their parents and so they have to pick and choose."

He has critical words for the religious institutions, traditionally a stabilizing point for teenagers approaching adulthood: "Instead we now get young priests and rabbis who feel that if they espouse 'contemporary'views, they can seduce young people into their congregations."

In their attempt to cope with [jeer pressure, myths and misinformation, students are developing solutions of their own. Contrary tothe belief that coed dorms breed promiscuity, Dr. Her son claims, "Coed dorms tend to cre-

ate incest feelings among residents . . . There's an unwritten rule that dictates against dating around in one's own residential college." Off-campus group living arrangements, called "nesting" appear to be, and sometimes are group or trial marriages. But more often they are "attempts by students ... to carve out an island of stability amid social flux." Such groups may imitate the family structure with members assuming the roles of absent parents.

These behavior patterns, says the McCall's report, may well be what Dr. Moskowitz calls, "a ground swell of sexually experienced students who have decided . . . t.) embrace secondary virginity rather than continue to pay the psychic costs of casual sex."

The Woodwards conclude: "When the insights and hindsights of medical and social c unselors are added to the students' own testimony, a rather unliberatim picture of campus life emerges . . . This turning away from casual sexual relationships . . . may be part of a culture-side search for some kind of sense and security in an otherwise senseless and insecure society."

Honor System (Continued from Page 5) Within the Honor Council itself, however, encounters with such "gray areas" have not arisen, she noted. Rules ol procedure provide that there shall he no more than one dissenting vote on any decision handed down by the council, and "we generally operate on the assumption that the decision will be unanimous or at least such that the member casting a dissenting vote feels that she can trust the Judgment Ol the group," Lacy explained.

"We are a diverse group and I feel that this is one of our strengths," she remarked in discussing Honor Council deliberations. While the Honor Council's decision! have been characterized by their definite nature, members satisfied that their work has not forced them into the province of the arbitrary, out of their deliberations have arisen questions of a personal nature.

Causes And Cures For Snoring Researched Snoring is an age old, bothersome problem, of which little is known about the causes and cures.

Even though snoring is thought to be "unsociable" in women, anyone with normal hearing would be able to pick out the unmistakable noise of snoring oven in The Longwood dorms. It has been found that males do snore more than females, but this difference has resulted from the fact that snoring is acceptable in males.

Dr. Ira Albert, an assistant professor of psychology at Old Dominion University, completed an article on the scientific causes and aspects of snoring.

CAUSES DI SNORING Age was found to be a very determlnini factor. Children iiih-n snore because of pathological obstructions to the critical n ..in-. One investigator found that 30 per ('('iit of all problem snorers are under the age of 10.

Between the ages of 10 and 30, the frequency ol s noring generallj it buf after the age of 30, n ,r mi becomes prevalent.

It was also found that many pathological conditions promote snoring, as well as exposure to dust, smoke, or other irritants.

An Investigator found that 80 per cent of his patients who snore had other chronic symptom! such as inflammations ol

the tonsils and adenoids, septal irritations, tumors, infections, and allergic reactions.

It was found that the genetic makeup such as size of the tongue and neck of an individual appears to be a predisposing factor in snoring and these are often the result of heredity.Obesity, which is highly influenced by heredity, is also positively related to snoring.

Snoring in rural areas could be predicted to be less than large urban areas. The reason for this would be that relaxation adds to the amount of snoring because of less contraction of facial muscles.

As commonly thought, the head and body position are extremely important to this topic. Most snoring occurs with the individual on his back with mjuth open.

HOW SLEEP EFFECTS IT There is a dispute among scientists about whether snoring occurs only in certain stages of sleep. Some scientists believe that snoring is more likely to occur during dreaming, where as others dispute this. In a recent study, it was found that the greatest amount of snoring occurs at the beginning of the night. This is explained by the fact that as the night progresses there tends to be a shift from mouth to nose

breathing, and this makes snoring less likely.

POSSIBLE CURES Numerous techniques have evolved for the cure of this annoying infliction, or habit. Nearly 200 inventions have been patented with the U. S. government, at last count, for the relief of snoring.

But none of these devices has been successful for the majority of cases, because the variables affecting snoring are so different.

One suggestion for a cure arrived around the time of the American Revolution. This was performed by the insertion of soap into the offender's mouth.

The result of this act is temporary strangulation and a veryfrightening and rude awakening.

One remedy which can be accomplished without causing the snorer to awaken was to whistle.

Chin straps and braces of many varieties are made with the purpose of forcing the person to keep his mouth shut. This reduces the volume of air passing over the soft palate and uvula.

Other techniques were patented to punish the patient from sleeping on the back. Some are constructed with balls which are strapped to the back and cause discomfort when the person turns on his back. Several other devices are assembled so that

Notorious Flapper Returns To The Screen

By BETH KAFFERTY A liberated woman was the star of a cartoon series which -pre-dated Walt Disney. This star of writer Max Theischer is now back as a college flapi>er from the nostalgia days, by the name of Betty Hoop.

As the "nostalgia era" moved from the 50's to the 40's, it took a sharp turn when it hit the 30's. Now ap|>earing at theatre's as a big success are the Betty Hoop cartoons which were created between 1928 and 1934.

These cartoons are assembled under the title, "Betty BoopScandals of 1974". Among these are three Betty Hoops, two "Screen Songs", where vou follow the bouncinr ball, "Talkartoons", anil the early "Out of the Inkwell" short cartoons. AH of these add up to less than an hour and a half of "clean rated" cartoons.

Max Fleischer's work usually enters into the crazy configurations of absurdism and the surrealism. Fleischer posses a wild Im as' ination which is most evident in the comparison of his "Snow White*', which appeared in 1937,

THE SOFT DRINK WITH THE SOFT PRICE

llll

with the Disney version for the old tale. In the end of this version, Snow White's body, which is played by Ms. Boop is carried in a glass coffin in a conveyor belt, through a weird subterranean cavern. All manners of ghouls and beasties dwell in this cavern, including the evil queen who flies overhead on her magic mirror, turns into a dragon, and then conveniently turns inside out. While this is happening, Cab Calloway, another cartoon figure is singing "St. James Infirmary Blues."

Fleischer's style is referred by some to be ahead of its time, although it seems crude in some respects. One accomplishment, of Fleischer, was that he was able to sneak a few risque touches past the guidelines of the rigid production code. One example of this is when a tiny Boop- sized brassiere was flung over the top of a screen while Betty is changing costumes on stage during a burlesque revue.

Fleischer fought a never-ending battle with labor unions, and it apparently made him a better man. There are extraordinary amount of violence in his films.

His cartoons deal with subjects that are still very relevant today. Such topics as politics, where Betty Boop introduces her running mate as Mr. Nobody, the Depression, criminal justice, even homosexuality are dealt with in his series.
