Parking Survey Reveals 'Space Available'

By BETSY NUTTER

Q - "Can something be done about the noises and unsteadiness of the Wheeler dorm elevator?"

A - The elevator company in Richmond, with whom the college has a service contract, has been working on the elevator since September 5 to repair the pumping unit which was leaking fluid.

As of the 14th, when the contractor again inspected the elevator, it appears to be working more smoothly. There is no hazard in operating the elevator because of the built-in safety features. The contractor has been asked to provide a proposal as to what major overhaul can be performed to place the elevator in perfect condition.

Q - "I've noticed that a number of bricks in the library walkway are not only loose, but completely separated creating a potentially hazardous situation.

I remember a question in the Catalyst about this situation last spring - can something be done about the problem in the near future?"

A - Repairs were made on the brick walkway this spring.

This type of walk is sensitive to heavy pedestrian traffic, vehicular traffic making deliveries to Library, and climatic conditions such as rain, freezing and thawing, etc., all of which loosen the mortar between the bricks. Even weeds and grass growing between the bricks can loosen them. The walk will be inspected and any repairs required will be made at an early date.

Chile Crisis Chile has begun pulling itself back together after the bloody coup that left a president dead, installed a military junta government and totally disrupted the life of the nation. The junta ordered banks and stores to open during an eight-hour lifting of curfew between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

The military continued mopping up action against die-hard Allende supporters still sniping throughout the city. Scattered shooting could be heard SaturContinued on Page 8)

Students have recently been complaining about an apparent lack of parking spaces on campus. A survey of the situation was taken to determine how many cars and empty spaces there are.

According to the survey, there are 118 empty spaces. Legislative Board requested this survey at their first meeting and the campus police took the survey at 11:00 a,m. on Tuesday, Sept. 11.

On the surface this would appear to be perfectly in line but after probing the circumstances many flaws in the survey are evident. The most glaring one is that it was taken on the second day that parking decals were given out. Until students got their stickers they could park anywhere, which would naturally be the closest to their residence hall that they could get. All cars without stickers really belonged in other areas. Bobbsie Bannin, Student Government president, commented, "If kids could get away with it they'd park the closest possible even if it was in an illegal spot. Technically, cars during the survey were not where they belonged." Because of the decal situation, the real rules were not in effect.

The survey included all parking spaces on campus. Many of the empty spaces were ones in which students are not allowed to park.

Legislative Board Involvement Legislative Board requested that another survey be taken.

Since the student teachers left Monday, Sept. 17, any parking lot squeeze that might have existed is now alleviated. Legislative Board's main concern is with future planning and preventing the lack of student spaces. Bobbsie Bannin*s theory is that "even if student population does not increase the number of cars will.

We must look ahead. Now most seniors have a car at least partial time and there are few who do not need one for student teaching; they are almost a necessity. It is a pretty safe predic-

tion that most students will have cars. The situation used to be such that the person with the car was the exception, whereas now it's the person without who is.

We're in an affluent society."

The two vacant lots across from the Rotunda were planned as possible parking lots but the Board of Visitors postponed any such plans due to a current money crunch. Parking area and landscaping would cost $45,000. Any project that exceeds a $5,000 budget has to be submitted to and approved by the General Assembly. Col. Carr feels sure that $45,000 would not be granted for a parking lot at this time.

Parking Currently Satisfactory Col. Carr sees the current parking situation as quite satisfactory. **We have a 120-car parking lot in the plans for the new physical education building."

The budget for this has been submitted to the General Assembly and they will meet in January to consider the governor's recom mendations, c o L Carr stated that the new building is a reasonable request and that it is based on need.

In order to make our parking situation appear more pleasing CoL Carr compared it to the ones at the University of Virginia and at the Medical College of Virginia. The walking distances are much greater at U.Va., and at MCV there is a $90 parking fee per year. MCV is a state institution that built a parking deck and they charge rent in order to pay bond holders. Here a student pays $5 for a parking sticker. This money pays for the sticker itself and the administration hiring the campus police since parking is one of their areas of enforcement.

Handbook Statement The student handbook specifies that students can park in Lankford, Her, Curry-Frazer, designated portion of Bedford, Ely and Venable parking lots. The following streets are open to resident student parking: Ely from High

During the hours of 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., resident students may park anywhere on campus except those spaces reserved for administrative officers between dining hall and South Ruffner Hall and for medical personnel in Tabb

Mr. Dalton comments, "It is a natural thing to feel then willUa parking problem but the statistics show that there is no problem. We all can't pull right up to our front door." Col. Carr observes that "we even find girls driving from Curry and Frazer to the dining hall to eat." The validity of student parking complaints is questioned by the administration.

The Proper ChannelsUp A Creek/ Legislative Hoard is finally taking steps to rectify a long-standing slouch in its committees, and while this fact is in itself worthy of note, efforts should not end with current reorganization considerations Board committees should serve a four-fold purpose: first, to give adequate Board consideration to and investigation of specifically designated areas; second, to sufficiently explore a particular area of interest and adequately investigate all factors involved so as to present the student body with a fair and reliable report; third, to contribute to productive change where necessary so as to improve the quality of student life on campus; and, most Important, fourth, to allow the general student population an organized means through which suggestions may be submitted and problems brought to light.

Granted, not all the Board's committees are of interest to every student. However, when a student has a complaint or suggestion, she is usually told to take it through the "proper channels," and this most often means one of the Board's committees.

Unfortunately, the "proper channels" have often ended with a committee name in the past. Problems appointing students to various committees still arise in spite of the fact that an appointment is usually obtained by any student interested enough to sign her name on a committee list in the new smoker. Committees have been poorly run, attendance by members has been sparse, and the average student apparently has little knowledge of what means of expression are available to her through the committees because no adequate list of membership and purpose is made available.

As the Board moves toward a firm grip on its committees, perhaps it should look a little farther beyond the immediate problems to the very reason the committees exist in the first place - the students. In doing so, the Board might consider following the example set by the College committees and publish a list of committees, their purposes, and membership which would be made available to the student body upon request.

The availability of such a list would enhance opportunities for students, help the committees and the Board to solve a most pressing problem, and help to better fulfill the purposes for which the committees were created in the first place.

Solving the "mainstream" problems isn't any easier with the committees "up a creek" - the members, the chairmen, and the Board should take the responsibility for providing a paddle . . .

Dear Editor, This college seems to be very coordinated. If it is then, why do they close tables during meals?

Two days in a row our table, number 214, was closed. If you want to eat, you have to go somewhere else to get the food your parents have paid for.

If they assigned you a table to eat at, then that table should be open. If they're going to close them, don't assign them! If they don't have enough waitresses, hire more or let the ones working have more tables.

I'm getting tired of eating peanut butter sandwiches in my room.

Do something now or give back the food money we've paid the unfortunate souls of closed tables.

Sincerely, Enold Gay Elliot EDITOR'S NOTE: Mr. Carbone was out of town last week, and could not be reached for comment. However, an explanation of table closing procedure will be printed in next week's ROTUNDA.

Dear Editor, I'd like to let everybody know how good it feels to be a member of Longwood. Everyone here has been so friendly and helpful. The spirit here is really contagious.

Reds and Greens just serve to intensify the "Blueness" of us all. I was introduced to just about everything at and about Longwood last October; and I can't begin to express the depth of the feelings I had then. Orientation strengthened my feelings, loyalty, and overall spirit. After the sing tonight chills went up and down my back and tears came to my eyes. Maybe I'm just supersentimental, but every time anything comes up about Okoberfest or sings or hockey games, I'm there to shout down anybody who

says they're nothing.

CHI has a special place in my heart, too. I wasn't told I was going to get pregnant if I stepped on those blue letters. I was only told about the helpful things CHI did, how they really supported the school, and commended students for their support. And I like the idea of CHI's identity being secret. It's more fun to guess what CHI is and who's on CHI. And it's good to know there are the kind of people who place a value on school spirit the way CHI does. I hope I never lose my feeling for CHI and Blue and Green and Red because if that feeling ever gets lost, then I'll have lost something that means a great deal to me.

And if I lose that feeling, I'll know then that I don't belong here because I won't be able to wholeheartedly contribute to Longwood.

Press Conferences Dear Editor, As a senior I would like to speak to the Freshman class for a moment concerning an event that will take place this Thursday that will undoubtedly impress them tremendously ... the President's Press Conference, What should one expect from such a gathering? Well, actually NOTHING! Oh, the cookies will be good, the coke will be cold and Dr. Willett will look smashing if he wears blue, but not much else will be worthwhile. In past years

there have been only a few times that these meetings between leaders and followers have been significant and those rare occasions always seemed to have ended with a talk about "dealing in personalities."

Questions are encouraged but one should understand that these questions should deal with important Longwood matters such as bicycle registration and putting tape on the walls of Tabb and French. God forbid that anyone ask about that elusive "list" that keeps popping up in conversations around campus.

The purpose of the press conference? Well, it's to show us just how down to earth our administration is - of course, it's to enlighten us on Longwood policies — of course it's to give the administration a chance to get to know us better - of course it's generally a waste of time - of course!

Blue and White Love, Sharon Sapp

Parking Hassles Dear Editor, I write to you because I am fed up. I returned to school this year on crutches, and because I live in Curry Dorm, I have been driving a car to all my classes.

The first week of school I went to the campus police to see if I could arrange to have special permission to park near the buildings I have to go to. They told me in so many words that (Continued on Page 8)

Charles Smith Holds Bedford Showing Features Recent Block, Acrylic Paintings An exhibit of some fifty works

by Charles Smith, veteran Virginia artist and teacher, will open to the public in Bedford Gallery, on Thursday, September 20, and will remain on display through October 16. Most of the exhibition space will be given to acrylic paintings done since Mr. Smith retired from teaching at the University of Virginia in 1963, Mr. Smith's careers as teacher and artist have resulted in his establishing and chairing three college studio art departments: R.P.I, (now V.C.U.), Bennington College in Vermont, and the University of Virginia. He has published eight of his own books and portfolios, some of them in second editions. He has designed and helped design fifteen other books.

His paintings and prints are in over twenty public collections of museums in this country and abroad, and of American colleges and universities, including Longwood College.

During the Bennington years, he evolved his technique for doing Block Painting. This is printing a composition, on paper, using small wood blocks cut in geometric and other simple shapes.

Each wood block must be inked separately and pressed into place. A composition can never be repeated exactly, so a monoprint results. Many wood shapes provides a very enlivened surface, making the print close to the variations possible in painting.

Block Painting was the name he gave the technique, which caught on immediately in the New York galleries. Soon Block Paintings began to circulate all over this country and abroad. His wood blocks, wood engravings, and linoleum prints had already been recognized by having been included in many collections, including Lewis Mumford's FIFTY PRINTS OF THE YEAR for 1930.

It was about these prints that Berkeley Williams, Jr., in PRINTS, March 1932, wrote, "Charles Smith is no academician working out problems of

representation; he is an artist presenting his creation. He can depart from the factual and retain the recognizable features of external objects only in so far as they serve to indicate to us the source of inspiration."

If Block Painting was one of the first breakthroughs in techniques of contemporary printmaking, so was another highly innovative technique he pioneered. He combined a wood or linoleum control block with the use of many other materials from which he printed, developing more variety in printed pattern and texture than had been done before. It was in this time frame that his pure abstractions emerged. He feels that his pure abstractions are what he does best and what he enjoys most doing.

S.C., which resulted in his third book, OLD CHARLESTON, Mr. Smith went to live and work in New York. His one man show in an important gallery there inspired Sherwood Anderson to write the foreword for the catalogue. Mr. Smith speaks of the New York years and the Bennington years as being most productive and stimulating, partly because of his contacts with others who were doing innovative work in dance, drama, and literature, as well as visual art.

Throughout his career, he combined art making with art teaching, and has been equally respected and admired in bom demanding fields. Since his retirement from teaching, in addition to painting every day, he has designed mosaic murals for the two banks in Richmond, the Bank of Virginia and Second NaLife History tional Bank in West End. Other mosaic murals of his design are Charles Smith was born in used in two public high school Waynesboro, Virginia, and had buildings. little or no background for art.

Art Show At W & L

Mr. Homer L. Springer, Jr.'s one man showing of twenty paintings and twenty drawings opened at Washington and Lee University on September 10 and will continue until the 28. The drawings are studies of the human figure and plant form. They range in size from 5"x7" to 2'x3' and are framed and under glass. The paintings are done in acrylic, pencil, and gold leaf and range in size from 16"x20" to 3'x4'.

Mr. Springer states that an artist must schedule his painting time carefully or other things will interfere. He sets aside two hours each day to paint and feels this is the best way to get his work done. Although he enjoys painting he would like to continue his teaching.

A faculty member since 1968, Mr. Springer believes that the Art Department is successful because they work as active artists as well as teachers. The department sponsored a Faculty Exhibit two years ago at which time Washington and Lee saw examples of Mr.Springer's work and scheduled his current showing. Another such exhibit is tentatively scheduled for late winter or early spring.

His work is being shown in the Dupont Gallery and is open to the public on week days only. In October Mr. Springer will have another one man show at the Roanoke Fine Arts Center.

'London $ Other Things' photography by Dr. Carolyn Wells and Mary Ann Bent ley in the library gallery simple and familiar elements of rural Virginia combine to make his work both forceful and tender.

The two linoleum prints, done about 1939, one in two colors and the other in three colors, continue this genre.

Only six of his Block Paintings are in the exhibit; only a few are to be seen outside of collections.

In this group, his quiet, whimsical humor is evidenced in PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN. In his Block Paintings, he established himself firmly as a sensitive and original abstract artist. An illustrated description, HOW BLOCK PAINTINGS ARE MADE, and a commercially lithographed portDEN, accompany this part of the display.

Eight small acrylic paintings and twenty-four larger ones, all done since 1963, will make up the rest of the show. In the work

of the recent decade, the same direct, confident compositions continue. The perfection of balance achieved in many variations is as apparent as it is in all his work up to this time. The obvious difference in the newer work is that subdued, restrained color has given way to jewel like hues, the shapes seem smaller and livelier, making the surfaces, dance with delightful movement, often rapid. The life work and self discipline of the artist provided for these liberated and spontaneous joyful expression. In his own words, Mr. Smith says "I liad to paint and draw. It seems I had to do it and I did for fity years," The Bedford Gallery will be open Mondays through Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and 7 to 11 p.m.; Fridays, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturdays, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sundays from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Cast Of Autumn Production 'Earnestly' Reflects On Play

By KAREN FOSTER Constant rehearsal brings the animated cast of "The Importance of Being Earnest" closer to the October 4 opening night performance in Jarman. Under the direction of Mr. Douglas Young, the actors continue to learn, not only their parts, but their characters as well.

Because the well educated, prosperous and confusing Jack Worthing "is not my normal character," Rand Lander believes, "it is one ot my more challenging roles. I like the play," he adds. "I like (Oscar) Wilde's stuff, and I like Victorian satire."

The psychology major has previously appeared in "Midsummer Night's Dream" and "The Fantastiks."

Susan Bower also likes this comedy and adds, 'I've read... that this play has a social message, but... I think it's a whole lot more enjoyable if you just laugh at it." Concerning her part of the somewhat innocent Cecily, she says, "I identify with her very much." Other acting experiences have included "A Streetcar Named Desire," "You Can't Take It With You," and "Up the Down Staircase."

The artificial Gwendolen is "a complete opposite from me," notes Susan Strauss of her character. Nor is she "especially taken by the play, but I am putting all my efforts into doing the best job I can ...""Under Milk wood" and "Rosie Probert" are on her list of accomplishments.

Jim Wiant, having worked with professional and semi-professionat theatre groups in Cleaveland, does not "feel alien at all" in the role of the young cynic, Algernon Moncrief because "I've had it before. I

think the character suits my personal character." Wilde's comedy "is my favorite play. I think it's very difficult. . . but Ienjoy the challenge."

"It's hard, it's really hard," echoes Amy Fluckiger concerning her role of the domineering Lady Bracknell. Amy insists that she was made to try out by "friends, but I'm glad I did."

This Drama-Speech-English major has also been seen in "Peer Gynt" and "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie."

Pam Anderson, also cast in the latter play as well as an one-act, says of her present part as the governess, Miss Prism: *ÂŤ. . . she's a little different from anything I've ever come across before. I like tier."

Concerning "Earnest;" "I think anyone who would come to see it would enjoy it very much. In view of the fact that five of the nine-member cast are freshmen, Pam thinks, "It's really nice that we have some new fresh people on the â– tags,*1 One is Clark Lindsay who states ttiat his part of the minister, Dr. Chasuble "is hard because it's not me. It presents a challenge. Wilde's play is "... funny . . . I'm glad I'm in it."

Chris Ross (Merriman) and Dawson Nash (Lane) were unavailable for comment.

Crew chiefs for "The Importance of Beinc Earnest" include Jeff Hudson (student director), Joanne Noseck (stage manager), Byrd Ouinlivian (lights), Pam Thompson (sound) and Kathe Catozella (props).

Others are Louise Scolamiero (make-up), Sharon Eppe (set), Salli Robinson (costumes), Dianne Varga (publicity) and Brenda Tune (house).

Mr. Tom Doogan, newly appointed Director of the Student Union.

Doogan Sees Student Involement As 'Making' The Student Union

By JANET LYNN TENNYSON "My philosophy is that the more the students do, the better and what students want, makes the Student Union," commented Mr. Thomas Doogan. With this the time is set for the activities and events concerning the Union with Mr. Doogan serving as its director.

"At Longwood, the previous director and students set up a good entertainment program", said the native of Harvard creek Pennsylvania. "We do hope to expand the experimental college and the residence hall programing series, while having the film series, the concerts and Wheel", he commented.

The next big weekend includes many activities from the Student Union, the weekend starts off with a "Beer and Pizza Happy Two Hours"on Friday from 9 until 11 p.m. This will be in the ABC rooms ofLankford and there will be some cost involved with the food. The movie for the week end is "The War Between Men and Woman" and will be shown Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights at 7:30 p.m. in Bedford Auditorium. The admission will be 50 cents.

On Saturday, September 22, there will be a bus trip to the State Fair in Richmond for the all day event. Saturday night from 7 until 9 p.m. there is a concert out on Longwood Estate. The Saint Louis Jazz Quartet will be performing as part of the artist Series and sponsored by the Union.

"They aren't a name group maybe, but I guarantee if you come to the concert on Saturday, you'll enjoy it", advised Mr. Doogan. He and other Student Union representatives heard the group at a convention in Ohio and signed them for this concert.

While not a complete jazz group they tend toward Three Dog Night- Chicage style with a black female as the lead singer. Transportation for the concert is provided free.

Concerning the year's activities, Mr. Doogan noted, "We plan every event not to make

money but to break even-we do plan to use all the money appropriated for the Student Union so that there is nothing left".

Mr. Doogan holds a B.S. degree in education with a concentration in math from Edinboro State College. "I taught high school math and enjoyed the students but wasn't happy with the discipline involved in the classroom", he said. He did his graduate work at Western Illinois University and served as a graduate assistant to the vice president for student affairs.

"I heard about the opening of this job here at Longwood from Tim Brown, last year at the convention in Ohio, so I applied", said Mr. Doogan. The people, administration and students are very friendly and I felt good about the relationship here between everyone", he added.

Mr. Doogan and his wife, Karen, live in Farmville. Mrs. Doogan is an instructor in the math department at Longwood.

They came to Farmville this summer and lived in Frazer Dormitory until they found the house they are now buying.

"The Student Union should be run by the students - the more student involvement the better the program: I feel the students should plan, organize and run the co-curricular activitites", commented Mr. Doogan. Ultimately, the new director feels his job is as a responsibility to the students, for they are the Student Union.

"These popular songs were musicial compositions as opposed to folk songs. They were imported from Mother England along with other forms of culture and tangible merchandise. But I like to trace the development of America's music in both the written and oral traditions."

So stated Taylor Vrooman, Colonial Williamsburg's balladierin-residence who performed for the year's first Coffee House on Friday, Sept. 14.

An eighteenth century mood, set by candles and red checkered tablecloths, was heightened by Mr. Vrooman's colonial costume, six-stringed laute and baritone voice.

"If you listen carefully," he pointed out, "you can come across some fine satire" in the old ballads. Many of the tunes originated from "Pills To Purge Meloncholey," an English songbook which he stressed can be found in many libraries today.

Mr. Vrooman has twice traveled around the world, singing the ballads in several languages. His eighteenth century songbook and record album have been placed on the market.

New Professors, Foreign Students Join Language Dept.

By BROOKE DICKERMAN Miss Anita Ernouf is proud to announce two new professors have joined the French Dept.

Mr. Anthony Maurice is from Duke University, and Mr. Richard Brodesky, from Harvard University. Both are teaching several classes in Ruffner Hall.

Cornelia 'Connie' Schmitz from Germany,DominiqueLiaume from France, and Monica Chiang from Peru have all joined the language department as assistants this year. Connie is in this country for the first time, Monica attended Longwood last year, and Dominique has done extensive traveling in the U.S.A. Monica Chiang loves the dorm and campus but she wishes the intellectual atmosphere was higher. Monica came to Longwood through the Institute of International Education. She will be transferring to a northern college next semester.

"We have no campuses in France and very few people live in dorms." states Dominique Liaume. She is glad to be here and get a chance to absorb the atmosphere in a rural area of America. Dominique is from Tours, France which is reputed to have the purest French accent.

She commented that she is currently working on her Masters in English and will teach that language in France next year.

When asked how she liked it here, Connie Schmitz enthusiastically exclaimed, 'I love it.'

She just graduated from high school last year and is taking French and music courses here for the experience. Connie said that her English teacher used to teach at Longwood and that she sends some of her better students here for a year of study. Next year Connie will be going back to Germany and will be continuing her study of languages.

Favorable Results From CLEP Tests Taken By Freshman

Promotion by 'Goodness?'

At the University of Minnesota nearly all the students polled (99 per cent) felt that evaluating a faculty member's teaching was important and even more important when he was up for a promotion or raise. A majority of these students would like to be involved in the actual evaluation of the faculty members.

When asked what kind of job security the faculty members should have, 53 per cent felt they should have limited job security, that is giving faculty members a one or two year contract.

Twenty-seven per cent thought they should have contracts of several years' duration, and nine per cent chose permanent job security with no firing except for cause.

This poll conducted by the Office of Students Life also concluded that most students have little contact with faculty members outside the classroom. When asked the number of faculty members from whom the student would ask for a recommendation, or with whom they could discuss a non-classroom problem the answer was frequently only none, one or two.

Students Call For Options Students are calling upon institutions of higher education to provide them with a wider range of options in their curricula.

The University of Iowa now has a program that meets this growing demand for inter-departmental majors by offering letters from the university's School of Letters for such work.

"The program is open to undergraduates starting in their sophomore year," explains Alan Nagel, associate professor of English and comparative literature who also is serving as chairman of the major in letters program. "There is a 36 semester hour version of the major which has no foreign language requirement beyond the general University requirement."

There is also a 30 hour version of the major where the student reads in translation in three different literatures although this version requires also six semester hours of literature read in a foreign language.

Nagel goes on to explain that "further study in language is encouraged, and with the new offerings of intensive language courses by several departments, an undergraduate can more quickly learn and begin reading a second foreign language. In both versions, courses should show some historical distribution so the student isn't concentrated in a single period, such as only literature since 1850."

Letters in addition should take 12 semester hours in supplementary courses related to their individual programs, and in accord to the student's own plans and interests.

"International studies such as the major in letters require a certain range of interests that wouldn't necessarily be part of an English major's program," Nagel says, when explaining the rationale for the supplemental work.

By JEAN TATE The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)enabled several entering freshmen to receive many hours of college credit by taking by-pass tests in different areas.

"Students can take an exam which covers an ordinary introductory college course - such as English Composition or American History," said Dr. Thomas Hamilton, Assistant Director of Admissions and Director of Institutional Research.

The examinations were administered in two ways. Some students whom it was felt might benefit from the tests were spotted while they were applying for admission to Longwood. These students took the CLEP tests in their home area. Other students took the tests while at Longwood over the summer during academic orientation.

The tests were taken by 29 students in all, either at home or at Longwood. Some of the students took several tests. Out of 40 tests taken, 32 of the examinations were passed. There was an 80 per cent passing rate. If a students' score fell within the 40th percentile, she passed the

exam and got credit for the course which the exam covered.

Two students who took the exams got 16 credits each. One student passed the exams with a total of 22 credits, while a third student received 31 hours of credit, making her an instant sophomore.

The CLEP program has received favorable reactions from members of the administration at Longwood.

"I'm very pleased with the CLEP program," noted Dr. Blackwell, Dean of the College.

Dr. Hamilton added that a brochure on the entire program is being made for distribution to potential applicants.

A student taking advantage of the examinations can use the results in three ways. The program can be used for enrichment to enable a student to have time for additional elective courses that she would like to take. The program can be used for acceleration, so that a student could graduate in less than four years, and the CLEP program can also be used to slow down, so that a student can take her time and proceed at a slower pace.

Volunteers Needed For After School Recreational Program

By SUSAN WOOLDRIDGE Why not get into SHAPE? Regardless of its name, SHAPE is not an exercise program, but a year long recreational program for the children of Prince Edward County and the cityofFarmville.

SHAPE (School Home Activity in Prince Edward) will begin its after school activities this week at the Prince Edward Recreational Center.

SHAPE'S main goal will be organizing and offering activities after school and on Saturday for children in grades one through seven. The four areas of the program will be recreation, music, art and drama. Other activities will include classroom instruction, tutoring, remedial reading and field trips.

Ken Ackerman, a former VISTA worker in the Prince Edward County area, will direct the program. He will be assisted by four coordinators, aides and volunteers. According to Ackerman, approximately 60 per cent of the staff has been hired and all the materials for the programs have been purchased.

"What we need now is manpower," said Ackerman. "The professors at Longwood have been helpful in directing interested students to us."

He added that students with special interest or talent in drama, art, music or physical education are needed as volunteer workers.

SHAPE is funded through the

Prince Edward Council on Human Relations and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

The program will utilize the playground facilities of the Campus School and the Prince Edward County Public Schools in addition to the home-based Recreation Center.

SHAPE'S programs will be scheduled each week day afternoon from approximately 3 to 5 p.m., and on Saturdays. Any student interested in working as a volunteer should contact Ken Ackerman at the Recreational Center (across from the Campus School) or call 392-6876.

Longwood Students Again Used In College Recruiting Effort

By BETSY NUTTER

Recruiting of students for the 1974 term is planned and will soon get underway. Recruiting is an essential part of a college's success. Mrs. Frances Brooks, Director of Admissions, will personally attend many of the scheduled college nights throughout the state. New to Longwood'sadministrative staff are Andee Maddox Oglesby and Cassandra Wilkes who are Admissions Counselors.

Tom Hamilton, the Assistant Director of Admissions and Director of Developmental Research and Ray Alie, the Assistant Director of Admissions and Director of Placement will handle out of state recruitment.

All will be working closely with high school guidance counselors in order to help misinformed counselors and bring others up to date concerning Longwood's changes and achievements.

Current students are being incorporated in recruiting efforts.

There are many reasons to use students recruiters. The first goal is to encourage people from their high school to go to college night and go to the Longwood booth. Another is to distribute L.C. brochures and actually introduce perspective students to the campus by giving them tours.

Students interested in helping will make appointments with their high school counselors during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays to talk with high school sophomores, junior and seniors who would like to have a first hand account of Longwood and what it has to offer.

Longwood students who participate in this program will be given folders, catalogues and pamphlets to give to prospective students. Anyone interested in this project should contact the

admission office and leave her name.

By using current students as recruiters, the admission office gets names of interested students that they would not ordinarily have gotten. Alumni also help in this way by sending names of students that they teach. Work is being done directly through the alumni chapters by inviting perspective students to the chapter's meetings.

Since only three booths can be visited by the high school student during college night the effectiveness of all the planning and work is questionable. Andee Oglesby stated that, "College night is most worthwhile because through this we can reach the greatest amount of students at one time. The students benefit because they come to listen."

The college night calander is jammed tight. Longwood is sent the schedule from the Scheduling Committee of the Association of Virginia Colleges. This schedule is sent to many institutions of higher education throughout the state. The institution is requested to respond telling each high school whether or not the institution wishes to be represented at that school. There will be Longwood representatives at each college night that is on the schedule.

Recent Longwood graduates are employed at strategic points throughout the state for recruiting purposes. Mary IngramBruner is in the CharlottesvilleAlbemarle area. Lynn Coleman Agee and Pat Necessary Brown are in Roanoke and Southwest Virginia. In the Virignia Beach and Norfolk area are Jo Ann Melchor Peterson while Terry Van Cantfert Pearson works in the Chesapeake and Portsmouth area. Jody Mace works in the Peninsula area.

Classes Elect Chairmen, Make Plans For Coming Year

By ELLEN CASSADA Along with the new places and faces of the school year comes the meeting of each class to make plans for the coming year and to elect chairmen of various activities.

The Senior class meeting was caUed to order September 13 by Robin Glascock, president. She told the class that caps and gowns can still be ordered from Mr. Harper at the Book Store, and that hoods will be ordered in the near future. The next item of business was the electing of the numerous chairmen of the committees. Those chosen were: Chri Bailor, announcements; Mary Alice Noel, Senior Sneak Day; Janet Baker, assembly; Cindy Kendrick, class gift; Barbara

ROCHETTE'S Flowers For All Occasions

McMillan, Senior banquet; and Susan Wall and Cathy Cummins, Senior elections representatives.

Also meeting September 13 was the Junior class with Susan Smithey, president. Plans were discussed for the Oktoberfest dance, scheduled for October 12 from 9:30-1:00 a.m. in the Gold Room, with "Grandeur" to be the guest band. Chairmen who were then chosen for the various committees were: Peggy Childress, publicity; Judy Terry, project and money raising; Cydney Cherry, student union representative; Beryl Dixon, dining hall representative; and Karen Goins, Oktoberfest dance chairman.

Debi Carter, sophomore president, opened their meeting, and among the new business discussed was the paint battle between the sophomores and freshmen to open the Oktoberfest festivities.

It is scheduled to be held on Wheeler Mall, and hopes are that there will be more enthusiasm than ever before. Chairmen for the battle are Jan Waldron and Sue Thacker. Other heads include: Millie Barnes, Sophomore Auction; Reva Hash and Beth Hatch, ring committee; Julie Willard and Kim Anderson, Sophomore Week End; Edna Rice and Katrine Bateman, road show; Judy Ellis, skit; and Gayle Webb, banquet committee.

are Pat Lunciford Renner and Debbie Hyatt Conner. Kathy Moffitt, Linda Southworth and Brenda Southworth are stationed in the Richmond area.

Even though the college night program is full and there will be Longwood representative at each one, there will always be an admission worker on campus to interview a visiting student.

Students are again encouraged to submit their names if they are interested in helping with the recruiting program.

Thelma Hudlow- ISeiv Head Resident For Cunningham

By JANET LYNN TENNYSON South Cunningham has a new head resident this year. Mrs. Thelma Hudlow feels, "I had three daughters of my own so now I have 185 new girls as my daughters - and they are a great bunch, too".

A native of Salem, Virginia, Mrs. Hudlow has been working as a buyer for a Roanoke store for the past ten years. However, she commented, "I wanted more time to spend with my family and being head resident allows this time."

Mrs. Hudlow knew Longwood well having a daughter, Sherrill, graduate from here in 19G3.

"Having three daughters graduate from college, I felt I could realize many of the young girl's problems".

Having lived in Roanoke, Richmond and Covington, Virginia, she also housed Longwood girls while they student taught. Concerning her outlook of the job this year, Mrs. Hudlow added, "I can't think of anything better to keep you young than being with the young".

Goodwin Lake in Prince Edward County was the setting for a picnic given in honor of all Science majors at Longwood last Wednesday.

According to Dr. M.W. Scott, Chairman for the Department of Naural Sciences, there were close to 100 people present, out of which only about 35 were the staff and their families. They arrived by the college bus or the student's cars. He explained that a few more had signed up earlier, but apparently went to hear a talk at Hampden-Sydney by Lt. Governor Henry HowelL. This was one of two picnics to be given this year by the Natural Science Department to bring the science majors together and to let the professors get to know their students personally rather than just on an academic basis. Dr. Scott commented that it is also interesting for the students to meet the members of the staffs families. "It was a new dimension", as he put it.

It has been a custon in the past to have the picnics in the fall and in the spring of the year, stated Dr. Scott. Since the picnic was sponsored earker in the year the weather was nicer. There were also less people there. Dr. Scott explained that last year there were approximately 180 students who attended the picnic, some of whom were not science majors. This is the reason they had to resort to having tickets printed. "The department as a whole works together a little better and students work harder as a result."

The food was provided by the Slate System Food Management.

Commenting on the help the department received, Dr. Scott stated, "I have enjoyed working with Mr. Carbone and without his assistance of providing food, it would be a real problem in feeding that many people." A few of the new majors had the opinion that "It was not like any other picnic they had been on."

The students had hot dogs and hamburgers that the staff grilled outside, and some students made this statement that "the food tasted better than in the dining hall." said Dr. Scott.

Shortly after they had fininshed eating, the entertainment was provided by Mr. and Mrs. Meshejian and Dr. Jane Holman.

Mrs. Meshejian plays the guitar and Mr. Meshejian plays the banjo, as well as anything else that has strings, according to Dr. Scott. Dr. Holman also plays the guitar, along with the violin. Be cause of the fact that the performers did not have time to practice, they did not think the music was too good, but Dr. Scott stated that the students re-

ally enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. It was not a competative type of atmosphere as it would have been if they had had programmed entertainment. "That is really the secret of the thing", commented the department chairman. He added that the only type of competition was to see how many people could eat the most food. The students could eat first and walk around the lake later or eat when they wanted to.

Dr. Scott explained that for the past five years, they have been having these picnics. One year in particular, he recalled that it rained and they had to fry the chicken inside and everyone had to eat in the different labs and the corriders. He added,"That was a lot of fun really, it was just pouring rain." Last year he commented, someone forgot the plates and Dr. Wells, and Dr. Holman ended up eating out of the box that the rolls came in.

When something does not work out, they can always use the second option. "It is real nice to talk with people like that, and the majors are real helpful. They are right there throwing in to move ice and food and whatever needs to be done. They really get involved with it."
