Students Air Complaints As Berryman Explains Dining Hall Meal Procedure

By BETSY NUTTER

Q - With the paper shortage and rising cost of living, I can't help but wonder how the Longwood laundry can affort paper wrappings as opposed to the pins previously used to hold clean laundry together. Exactly how much does the paper cost compared to the pins? Is the money an extra expense that comes out of student pockets? Why is paper being used instead of pins? A.B. A - According to Col. B. B. Abrams, Director of the Physical Plant, "The primary purpose of wrapping the laundered wearing apparel in paper is to keep the items clean. Some students do not pick up their laundry for a week or more. In other cases, some out on student teaching have left their apparel in the laundry a month or more. Instances of this nature usually result in the items being rewashed. Labor requirements are no greater to wrap in paper than tie and pin. The paper is costing about ten dollars per week. Many students have expressed their appreciation for the wrapping service. However, if it is the general consensus of the student body that the paper should not be used, the service will be discontinued."

Q - When will senior informals be ready for seniors to see the proofs, and will seniors be able to buy extra prints of informals? J.M.D. A - Ruth Dobyns, Editor of the 1974 VIRGINIAN, reports that proofs of senior informals will be ready in two to three weeks.

However, informals will not be available in color prints this year. Students may order extra prints.

Questions concerning the dining hall dominated the Sept. 20 press conference with President Willett presiding. Rita Berryman, Vice-Chairman of Residence Board, illustrated an in depth explanation about the process of, and reason for closing tables. Concerning the quality of this year's food Dr. Willett stated, "Current shortages and price problems that affect everybody are at the root of this problem."

Rita Berryman stressed the importance of students and waitresses working together by voting, "it has to be a 50-50 attitude." She also reminded those attending the conference that no one is to eat before the blessing.

The reason for this is, if there are less than five people sitting at a table after the blessing has been said, they have to get up and find another seat so that the greatest number of tables possible will have complete attendance. This procedure is endorsed for purely economical reasons.

Berryman encouraged students to stack their plates and help the waitress as much as possible.

The fact that there are no milk cartons on the tables was blamed on a milk shortage. This, she explained, is not the waitress* fault.

That the students have patience

with waitresses was Berryman's plea. If, however, a waitress is unduly rude or refuses seconds, the involved table should contact Berryman and action will be taken.

Berryman delivered several reasons concerning the "whys" of closed tables. Among them were sororities eating in chapter rooms, departments having picnics, organizations eating together, students absent due to athletic events and general lack of student participation depending upon the menu. Tables are closed on a percentage basis. Mr. Carbone, predicts the number of tables to be opened then the hostesses deduct waitress tables, eight student teacher tables, guest table, head resident's table and the head table because none of these are included in rotation.

Berryman put a damper on closed table gripes by saying that the cost of meals for students would raise 60 per cent if all tables were open for every meal. During Berryman's systematized explanation Bobbsie Bannin, Chairman of Legislative Board, "I feel like I'm having a lesson instead of a press conference."

Flies in the dining hall are more abundant than ever and students were assured that the problem is being looked into. Questioning the logic in certain menus D. Leroy Martin asked, "If they know people won't eat meatloaf,

why do they keep having it?" A round of applause went up and economical reasons were the received answer. Dean Blackwell encouragingly added that a new meatloaf recipe was being checked into.

Dr. Willett summed up the dining hall situation by saying, "Supply problems are unbelievable.

We stand well according to other schools. The food is not as good this year as it was a year ago but considering the overall problems, we're doing well. There is no menu with total consensus."

Parking Frustration A second parking survey was reported taken Sept. 19 at 11:00 a. m. and it revealed that there are 164 empty spaces on campus.

The first survey, taken before student teachers left, showed 118 empty spaces. President Willett commented that parking is always a source of frustration and he still thinks that a correct decision was made allowing freshmen to have cars on campus. Surveys will be taken every two weeks making sure that parking

Dr Harris Notes Opportunities For 'Individual Attention* At LC

By BARBERA RADFORD New! New in the Dean's Office!

Come see her now! Offers unlimited!

Dr. Jan Harris, the assistant dean of students is the new attraction. She was a professional contemporary jazz singer (Roberta Flack type music) and plays tennis poorly. ("I love it, though"). She reads a lot and likes people.

It is not surprising to find she likes people. Before coming to Longwood Dr. Harris was a counselor at First Colonial High School in Virginia Beach.She has been the Assistant Director of Counseling at Old Dominion University, and has taught in the Henrico and Norfolk school systems.

She studied for her Bachelor's degree in psychology and philosophy at Madison only to find she couldn't teach in either area, so she certified in earth and physical science. Her graduate studies were at O.D.U., William and Mary, University of Virginia, and V.C.U. Dr. Harris has noticed a difference between the urban university with 10,000 students and

Longwood's small residential campus. Administration "is the greatest thing." Dr. Harris said, "In a large school there is less time for individual attention.

There's more time here than I could believe. Already I've learned right many girls and hope to know more at the end of the year."

There are likenesses; too, "Students in general, and ODU and Longwood, are concerned about other people. I think a measure of greatness in a'person is their concern for other people."

"The students I've talked to are concerned about other people; concerned about making the world a better place to live in, I'm impressed by their seriousness of purpose."

"Some know what they are looking for," Dr. Harris said, "and those who don't, know they should be looking for directions."

Her philosophy of counseling is "permissive realism." Dr. Harris has been favorably impressed by Longwood." There are more opportunities for leadership here than in a co-ed school they wouldn't have an

Dr, Harris doesn't condemn co-ed schools, though," You need both to offer a choice. Uniformity eliminates choices the individual has. I'm all for as many choice) as possible."

Dr. Harris said of her jot*, "I want very much to hear from the students. I'm here to communicate, not always to solve their problems, but to help them solve their own." She stated "The decisions must be students'. They have to live with the consequences, so they should make the decisions." I'm just here to help weigh the alternatives,"

Dr. Harris had no comment on the tiead resident system.

She sees one of the roles of the bead resident as communicating with the students. Dean Harris says lbs has little to do with the efficiency of the job. ilou in is an important part of the Assistant Dean of Students* job and Dr. Harris ft I , "where you live is a huge part

of the total experience," "When you're unhappy and it can be worked out, we'll do it. Hut I can't see taking from 00* Itudent to give to another."

What is this new Dean's goal while at Longwood? "I want to meet the needs of the students."

"Are Four Enough?

Are Six Too Many . . .?'

"Some commissioners believe that colleges such as . . . Longwood . . . will be cited as institutions with uneconomically small student bodies; that is, as colleges able to accommodate and educate more students than they currently have.

"Longwood could apparently enroll 5,000 students ..."

Students who attended the press conference last week or who have access to a Richmond newspaper are aware of a study done by a Chicago consulting firm in which the apparent conclusion was reached that Virginia's colleges and universities are overbuilt, and in some cases, notably Longwood's, are not making the best use of available facilities. The report has not been made public, and as such, facts about it are not available. Until they are, farsighted speculation concerning its contents would be ridiculous. However, if statements made in the newspapers such as that quoted above are an indication of its contents, then students at Longwood have a legitimate and immediate concern with the report and its possible effects.

As students, we cannot possibly know all the fine intricacies and ways and means of running an institution of higher learning. We are, however, the immediate results of just how effectively those responsible for such knowledge apply it, and as residents on the college campus, must live with both the faults and advantages. The college becomes "home," and how pleasant a living environment the college provides for its students affects every other aspect of college life, from the academics to the most seemingly insignificant social activities.

So let us begin with Longwood's apparent ability to currently enroll over twice as many students as are now on campus. The most obvious question that arises is "where are they going to live? "Are we to expect the state to build new dorms to accommodate all students? Or are we to look forward to three roommates instead of one, four people in space which was designed to accommodate two?

Will our student union, dining hall facilities, and library be expanded accordingly? What, if any, will the effects be on tuition ana fees? And, should physical facilities be appropriately enlarged to handle 5,000 students, wouldn't the apparent conclusion of the report be invalidated simply through necessary expansion and the cost entailed?

The most obvious aside, however, Longwood has a more serious problem to contemplate.

In spite of the many and varied ways students have of evaluating Longwood, in spite of personal attachments (or lack of them) to the college, in spite of the many shortcomings we recognize, in spite of differences of opinion which naturally arise over the role of the college and its many traditions, in spite of apparent injustices, Longwood retains what other institutions either never had or have not been able to attain - an open door to the opportunity for individual expression, suggestion, dissatisfaction, and input.

A trivial point for keeping a college its current size? Possibly - until you turn back three years to the campus riots that spread across the nation. Beyond the war were other student demands and at the root of the problem was a very valid dissatisfaction with inadequate means of communication between students and college administrators.

Many factors are responsible for Longwood's "open door.'"Yet more than any of these is the current size of the student body - large enough for variety of ideas, attitudes, and beliefs, small enough to allow for vocalization of them.

Spencer once noted that "Education has for its object the formation of character." And education cannot be effectively carried out without the best possible living environment conducive to academic study and social activities, and the opportunity for exchange between any student and any member of the faculty and administration. In short, character formation is not simply stamped out by a computer.

An institution of higher learning is made up of far more than a conglomeration of buildings - its essential base is people, and its essential purpose is education. Beyond psychology and the supposed practicality of what is apparently industrial evaluation of a human element, lies the reality of living on a 24 hour a day basis on a college campus.

Longwood with 5,000 students? Let's hope not.

The quality of education is not directly proportional to the number of students per square inch . . .

"Middle of the Road Freshmen Dear Editor, I would like to ask you a question: why is it that so many of the letters you print are so extreme? In the second ROTUNDA issue, a letter was printed that practically sliced CHI in half.

Then, at the other end of the spectrum, in this past weeks' issue there was a letter from a girl that sounded like she was trying to butter up the whole student body. It was so buttery and sticky-sweet that my hand almost slid across the page. So, here's a letter from the middle of the road.

As a freshman here, I have seen many things that have impressed me. Most of the people are really friendly, I love my dorm (second floor Tabb), so far I have enjoyed the activities I have joined, and I am really looking forward to Oktoberfest.

But let's face it. Longwood is not a Utopia. There are some things that could be better. The food, for instance, is not the greatest in the world, some of my classes are boring and at night I hear so many strange noises that I practically have heart attacks.

Generally, I think my days at Longwood will be good ones, but I do get tired of people cutting it to threads or putting it on a pedestal. That's all.

Susann R. Smith '77 Editor's Note: Letters printed

by THE ROTUNDA are "extreme" because that is the manner in which they are written and submitted - whether or not a letter is "extreme," of course, is a matter of individual interpretation.

As was stated in the first regular issue of the newspaper, all letters that are signed by name are printed, and all are treated with equal value.

Longwood Ladies As Women Dear Editor: I am writing to you and the rest of the campus because I am concerned about some of the situations and regulations on campus. I am not a writer, therefore, I will use a paragraph from the book, THE NEW WOMEN, to express my feelings. It states "The social treatment of women in colleges reflects the status of women generally. Hours, dress codes, and housing restrictions, which women have begun to protest put a woman under the supervision and protection (control) of men. Since she is not at home under her father's care and not yet in the control of her husband, the university must be her "protector." This situation is based on the notion that a woman's only "real" role is that defined in the family, as daughter, wife, and mother."

Some of you will relate to this reasoning and some will not. I only hope all of you will realize that it is a statement which means more than just "Women's Liberation." The subject of having no curfew and dorm restriction has been brought up before and I am sure will be again. But it goes a lot deeper than that. Do For further information on the editorial, please refer to page one "* and page eight.

you realize we don't even have one single course about women on this campus? I mean, after aU that's what we are (or will become).

Don't you think it is important to know something about your past history not to mention what the women of today are doing? And this has nothing to do with becoming involved in the "movement" (unless you are inspired so afterwards). It has to do with being the person and WOMAN that you are. I read a quote somewhere that said, "Worried people make changes." Isn't anyone else worried?

Kathy Derrick

Oktoberfest Damage Editor's Note: The following letter is in reference to an incident last week when materials for the Red and White Oktoberfest float were stolen.

To the Editor: There are three different views on this campus as far as Longwood Tradition goes. These being: The attitude of caring and working with it, that of working against it, and the ever present indifference.

For those that are against it, I would like to say, that you can physically damage the hard work put in to such projects but you can never destroy the idea behind them.

Red and White Float Chairman Ms. Gail T. Harrell

Reaction To A Suggestion Dear Editor: I can not tell you how excited I was to hear that Dr. Willett has decided to install cook-out grills at various and central locations! I am sure this addition to our campus will add not only lasting beauty but an atmosphere of scholarly attitude.

I am sincerely hoping that with the addition of cook-out grills the state will allocate funds towards

the installment of picnic tables, swing-sets, sandboxes, and of course snake slides!!!

Again, Longwood leads the way to educational progress and the fulfillment of student needs, it won't be long until Marquette University, along with other major educational institutions follow our cook-out grill trend.

I can see future plaques and monuments hailing Dr. Willett's decision: "A Longwood scholar looked over the horizon and sawcook-out grills."

Sincerely, Darcy Morrison

Waitresses Reply Dear Editor, After reading the article about the closing of tables every waitress generously volunteered to each work two tables in the balcony, the main floor, and the basement, all at the same time!

We were then informed that we would only be paid for working two of these tables and that every student at Longwood would have an increase of $50 added to their tuition. This would help pay for all the food wasted and for the waitresses working such an overload.

All those students who believed the above statements are probably the same students who expect the impossible from our waitresses!

Although we cannot answer your questions concerning table closing the major purpose of this letter is to ask for some courtesy and consideration as fellow Longwood students and human beings.

The waitresses and hostesses of the dining hall are not considered part of "The Staff." We are students just like you who are trying to pay our college tuition.

It is very hard to maintain our jobs. I have actually seen waitresses and hostesses leaving the (Continued on Page 8)

Slater Feeds The Multitudes

By BARBERA RADKORD Dining hall complaints are numerous and not far between.Table Closings, meat quality, food quantity, and other 'spicy'' topics.

Joseph Carbune, director of ATA Slater Food Services, said the difference students detect in tlie food is "psychological probably."

For example, the beef is still US Choice or better, but the cattlemen have not given the beef a chance to age. The cattle are driven from the range straight to the slaughterhouse, rather tlian being allowed to fatten before preparation for market.' But it's the tame quality meat," Mr* Car* bone explaind. "All our meat must be government inspected.

We know it's not up to par, but it's tbe same quality.

"Everybody seems to be trying to get 00 the bandwagon with shortages - milk, meat, flour," he continued.

"You may be Mtlnfl I lot more macaroni and cheese this year," Mr. Carbon* said. "But it's the same quality and the game recipe.*' The quantity has not rone down, either* "We're running the same amount or more than last year."

But, Mr. Carbone, said, usually spending In the Snack Bar down as attendance at meals up. This year Fpwtlng naa gone up in both places.

When the food service negotiated its contract last year. Slater projected its future needs and counted on the usual four to six per cent increase of food costs. This year food prices rose 22 per cent.

Chicken used to cost 600 dollars to 625 dollars per meal.

Now, at 81 cents a pound, the average chicken for dinner costs 900 dollars." ' '1 will not cut back on quality,'' M r. Carbone emphasized.'' I may just have to substitute lower cost items that have high nutritional value."

Mr. Carbone could not say if the food price increases would raise boarding fees next year.

"We hope the increase will reach a plateau. We don't anticipate it's going down."

The dining hall is trying to work at cost, which means cutting down on a lot of extras. " There won't be as many free items as last year," Mr. Carbone said.

Food Preference

Besides price, several other factors help Mr. Carbone decide what each week's menu will have.

The food preference surveys filled out in the spring of each year is one of those factors.

When the results of the survey are returned to Slater, Mr. Carbone checks the figures to find which dishes are best liked and tries to serve them more often.

Cost Of Food Students complain about starch This year the college gave in the diet, but seven of the most Slater more money to work with enjoyed vegetables are those

highest in starch content. Baked potatoes, french fries, baked beans, parslied buttered potatoes, lima beans, peas, and shipeed potatoes all had 70 per cent or more of the vote. Peanut butter and jelly was favored by 75 per cent. Tossed salad was acclaimed by 97 per cent, while roast turkey received a 100 per cent rating. "it's odd. The same recipes used for years, prepared the same way by the same people will change in popularity," Mr. Carbone said, "it's part of the changing food trend." Take this example: in 1967, 78 per cent of the Longwood students admitted they liked meat loaf. In 1973, only 37 per cent of the students liked the dish.

Nutritional value is also important. Occasionally Slater's home office in Philadelphia runs a check on the nutritional value of the food served. The results are compared with the Department of Agriculture's standard the Longwood student's sex and age group. If there are deficiencies, Mr. Carbone tries to correct them.

One food constantly under standard, Mr. Carbone said, was yellow and dark green leafy vegetables, in a woman's college this is serious because women need more iron than men, and these vegetables are rich in iron. The solution was to put more of these foods on the menu.Gradually, the deficiency is being corrected.

Diet Special Mr. Carbone is now working with the dean to try to arrange a controlled dieters' table for those students who are overweight and want to do something about it.

A table would be set aside just for the dieters. If fried chicken were served for supper to the rest of the dining hall, this table would be served baked chicken with no skin. To replace the baked potato would be a plain boiled potato. The vegetables would balance the meal, with a slice of bread and butter. There would be no seconds for this table . . . ever.

According to Mr. Carbone, it is possible to maintain your weight with the meals served

regularly in the dining hall. If a student eats a five ounce pork chop and "some of everything else in normal quantities" she should have basic control of her weight.

Planning "Next year," Mr. Carbone said, "there will be a segment in the Orientation program on dining hall operations for freshmen.' ' The students will understand more, and this may avoid a lot of questions.

"A lot of students don't realize all the planning that goes into it," Mr. Carbone explained."We have to watch preparation time and the facilities available."

"We try to do it like it is supposed to be done."

Communication To Freshmen

By JUDITH MOFFITT

Open Admissions Considered

"Communication" was the topic of a speech given by President Willett, to the freshman class on September 17, in Jarman Auditorium.

The meeting was called to order by Debbie Carder, sophomore class president. A Longwood graduate, Virginia "Jinx" Washington was introduced. Virginia was a Spanish major, she is currently teaching in Amherst County. She got her master's at Georgetown University.

Virginia spoke about Chi, referring to it as a "symbol of the spirit of Longwood." She also talked of the friendship and opportunities offered at Longwood.

Then, President Willett spoke about communication between the students and the administration.

He said that he wanted Longwood students to "develop the ability to look at both sides of a question" before they left Longwood.

President Willett also announced that the first press con-

ference of the year would be held the following Thursday, September 20. He said that the press conference helped "develop better understanding between students and administration" and that many changes had come about as a result of the conference.

President Willett urged students to make use of the suggestion boxes. He stated that it was helpful for the students to sign their names to the suggestions that the administration could talk to the person who made them.

"College Administration," a poem by an unknown author, was read by President Willett in closing. The poem goes: I'm not allowed to run the train or say how it will go I'm not allowed to let off steam or make the whistle blow.

I can't exercise full control or even ring the bell But let the damn thing jump the track and see who catches hell!

The general opinion of the freshmen interviewed seemed to be that the meeting was good and worthwhile.

I haven't been that happy since.

And I know I'll never be that happy again. It was warm and beautiful and so we bought a few bottles of wine and drove to the country to celebrate the night. We drank the wine and looked at the stars and held each other and laughed. It must have been the stars and the wine and the warm wind.

Nobody else was on the road. The top was down, and we were singing and I didn't even see the tree until

The Danforth Foundation is currently sending out, upon request, application materials for its Graduate Fellowship for Women. All materials must be received by January 11, 1974.

The program is designed to develop college and secondary teachers whose study or teaching has been interrupted, at some time, for at least three years.

She may be neither a full-time teacher or graduate student during the application period, which extends from September 1, 1973, to April 5, 1974.

Other qualifications are that the women hold bachelor's degrees from accredited colleges and universities. Thirty-five new appointments are made each year, and it is renewable annually as long as the student remains in good academic standing and follows the study plan submitted in her application.

The stipend will depend upon PROFESSOR CELESTE ULRICH individual needs, but it will not replace income or provide funds for living expenses, except in cases of unmarried women, or those who are heads of their families. The maximum award for the 1974-75 academic year

The parade is being enlarged to a great extent, and as for the midway, more places should be available for families to rest between visits to the booths.

Main Street Plans are also being made for a beer garden on top of the dining Farmville, Virginia hall. Piano music, a new idea, should add a lot to the atmosphere.

National Science Foundation To Award Graduate Fellowships

By BETTIE BASS As one means of promoting the progress of science in the United States, the National Science Foundation plans to award approximately 500 new three-year Graduate Fellowships to individuals who have demonstrated ability and special aptitude for advanced training in the sciences.

In addition, approximately 1,000 Fellows will be supported on continuations of Graduate Fellowships previously awarded.

National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowships are awarded for study or work leading to master's or doctoral degrees in the mathematical, physical, medical, biological, engineering, and social sciences, and in the history and philosophy of science.

Awards are not made in clinical, education, or business fields, or in history or social work, or for work leading to medical, dental law or joint Ph.D.-Professional degrees.

NSF Graduate Fellowships will be awarded subject to the availability of funds. New fellowships to be awarded in Spring 1974 will be for periods of three years, the second and third years to be approved by the Foundation on certification by the fellowship

institution of the student's satisfactory progress toward an advanced degree in the sciences.

Recipients of new three-year awards must begin fellowship tenure not later than the beginning of the 1974 Fall term, but may use the remaining two years of support within the four-year period following the first year.

This will enable them to engage in other institutionally approved activities that contribute to their training.

A 'Longwood Lady' In A French Magazine? Oui!

By JANE BLOODWORTH Longwood senior Robin Hogan has been moonlighting as a model for Martin and Woltz Advertising Agency. Her picture will be appearing in an advertisement for A. H. Robbins, a pharmaceutical company, in medical magazines throughout the United States and Canada.

"It was so funny," Robin said when asked how she happened to be pictured in the advertisement.

She was at a party this summer in Richmond, and happened to meet a young gentleman (a friend's friend) who worked for Martin and Woltz Advertising Agency.

Since this young man worked for an advertising agency, and since he also was a friend of Tom Layman, the art director at A.H. Robins, he knew that this company was looking for a model for an advertisement.

Robin struck him as being right for the job, and he asked if she would be interested. Thinking it was a joke, she agreed.

The next Monday morning, a photographer from Martin and Woltz called. He explained that the advertisement was for a new product by A.H. Robins. He then arranged for a time when some tenative polaroids could be taken.

The polaroids were accepted

by Martin and Woltz. Sixty shots of Robin (from which the best was chosen) were taken for the advertisement. This consumed a half an hour of her time, and she received $30 for it.

The advertisement was run in Canadian magazines in August.

The English version is not ready yet, but it will be run in American journal in the United States starting in November.

Robin had never done any modeling before, but she says that she would like very much to do it again. "I like drama, and I was in a lot of plays in high school. This could go on, and I just love it."

However, Robin adds that it was a little tedious. "It was really time-consuming, although it only took half an hour." Every detail of her appearance had to be perfect, including the rings on her fingers which had to be turned at the right angle.

Robin did not mind this, since she also believes that there is a time to look your best. And, she definitely plans to continue it, should an opportunity arise.

Martin and Woltz kept records of her, and her name is now on the local, state and national advertising list.

Martin and Woltz suggested that Robin go on a tour of advertising agencies. This tour is

arranged through the National Headquarters for Advertising agencies, and it is in training for profession.

The tour is designed to give the perspective model a chance to meet the organizations. An amateur photographer takes pic-

Student participants in the year's first monthly press conference express varied reactions to explanation of table closing.

Press Conference spaces are available to students.

One main parking problem is lack of knowledge about where students are allowed to park. An example would be Wygal parking lot where students are allowed to park except for 11 spaces.

These 11 spaces are, however, not marked and no one knows which ones they are.

come $449,000; college graduate's lifetime income $645,000.

A number of the students, staff and faculty have questioned the change in ROTUNDA policy concerning the printing of unsigned letters. Dr. Willett stated that the change was the only decision that Debbie Bastek, editor, could make under the circumstances.

It is normal standard journalistic policy.

Suggestion Boxes Work Dr. Willett encouraged students to sign any submitted suggestions in order that he might contact you and get further details on the suggestion. A student recently suggested that grill devices be set up at strategic points on campus. The suggestion was seen as legitimate, the student contacted, sights selected and soon these devices will be available for student's convenience.

Due to paper shortage newspapers are not being circulated on a door to door basis. Papers will be available at the head resident's office in each dorm and at the information office.

Last spring press conferences started at 12:45 and board chairmen were given the first 15 minutes to answer any questions from the student body. This method of communication will be used this year at press conference to come.

Dr. Willett explained that he did not expect any major decisions to be brought about at a press conference. He cited as the main goal an "exchange of information." Any institution needs a way and means to communicate and that is the purpose of the President's Press Conference.

If you don't believe me I challenge you to work one calendar week in the dining hall.

Please have some courtesy for your waitress. Does it take too much of your time to say please or thank you? Does it take too much of your time to stack?

By CHARLES COX Times-Dispatch Education Writer Virginia's state college system is "overbuilt" and the men who run the colleges are "overspending'- $10 million or more a year. When the General Assembly gets the facts, it will move decisively to tighten the purse strings and strengthen the hand of the State Council of Higher Education.

That seems to sum up thinking of legislator members of the Higher Education study Commission, whose report, even though it has not yet been completed, is already racking the nerves of some Virginia college administrators.

Del, Ray L. Garland, R.-RoaDOke, a member of the commission that will report on the state of Virginia higher education to the upcoming General Assembly, recently said publicly that some state colleges may have to close because they seem to be losing favor with students.

Otherwise, little has come out about findings or conclusions of members of the commission named by the last General Assembly to probe the financing of and the planning for the state college system.

Recommendations Soundings taken by the TimesDispatch suggest that, as things stand now, the commission report that is supposed to be completed by Nov. 1 will make hard recommendations primarily in three areas.

First, concerning fears that Virginia baa already "overbuilt" in both the community college and senior college departments, some commission members appear ready to call for a moratorium on additional capital building. One exception might cover such urban universitli Virginia Commonwealth In Richmond, Old Dominion in Norfolk and George Mason, which serve.-.

East-growing Northern Virginia, Second, under the general management heading, the senators and delegates sitting on the commission are certain to insist

that better college business practices are a must.

Commissioners are, for example, known to feel that some college professors are networking as hard as they should.

There's considerable sentiment for requiring every professor to teach some stated "load." Four classes a week, or 12 credit hours, has been suggested. The teachers "carrying" less could get permission to do so only if he were carrying an equivalent burden in research or writing.

Michigan and Texas are two states that have already taken this course.

The theory here is that since most college spending goes to pay professors, the way to save money is to be sure that a day's pay buys no less than a day's work. How to regulate this matter, if the Virginia commission decides to try to regulate it, is still causing commission head scratching. Some members think the State Council of Higher Education (SCHE) should be responsible for that regulation.

SCHE Coordinator In any case, the commission's final report is certain to have strong recommendations in a third area. To control individual college spending better, members of the commission headed by Sen. Edward E. Willey, Richmond, are sure to recommend that the SCHE be given more power than it las now to monitor college budgets and coordinate planning of all 39 state institutions of higher learning.

Such was the particular wish of the late Sen. William F. Stone of Martinsville. Stone stirred up the assembly to establish the commission and headed it until his ith last month.

And while there will be grumbling from some legislators, commission members are confident that the General Assembly will vote in hvor >t a state council with more muscle to lay down the law on programs and enrollments as well as money, Those prospects make a lot of college administrators nervous.

They have been used to nuking

By CARL SHIRES Reprinted From Richmond News-Leader 9/19/73 A Chicago consulting firm, in a caustically critical analysis of Virginia's higher education system, has told a General Assembly study commission that the state's colleges and universities have built physical plants far out of proportion to their enrollments.

One veteran legislator said the $200,000 study is certain to save the state's taxpayers millions of dollars as legislators begin taking a harder look at plant-building capital outlay requests.

The 14-volume report remains one of the most closely guarded sets of criticims and recommendations ever produced for the state.

Representatives of the state's colleges and universities involved will begin a series of hearings, closed to press and public, at the Capitol Oct. 2. Other dates for the hearings, with the representatives invited to defend consultant findings, are Oct. 5, Oct. 11, and Oct. 16.

Despite the secrecy surrounding the reports, some of the firm's general findings have become known through off-the-record talks with legislators.

Said Underused During past months, the firm of Donald Shaner & Associates of Chicago sent teams of management consultants for on-site looks at 14 Virginia colleges and universities and some of their satellites.

Those teams, usually three but sometimes two persons, found generally that the state's higher education facilities are underused, that there is a poor ratio of "student-station" use.

In plainer language, there are more buildings than necessary, according to the consultants.

Legislative sources said there were no particular offenders, that, according to the Shaner report, the problem was systemwide.

up their own budgets, then lobbying with members of the assembly for money to finance the budgets. In the assembly they have always been able to count on their alumni friends for help. They don't like the notion that they may have to confine their lobbying to the hard-nosed administrators of the State Council of Higher Education.

The unhappiness of many college administrators dates from the day when study commission staff members arrived on campus and demanded their books. One unhappy administrator accuses commission investigators of operating like "star chamber'' "At judges. we are Aware that the administrators dollars may be unhappier still when they learn the harshness of some of the investigators' conclusions, the commission has invited representatives of the colleges to Richmond next month to give them a chance to rebut charges of poor management. Only after that, says Willey, will the commission make public its report.

Commission members say they do not like the idea of embarrassing the people who run the colleges. But, pointing to the more than $480 million a year that Secretary of Education Earl J. Shiflet says Virginia is spending on its public and private colleges the commissioners insist that the rate at which spending has been increasing, if not the spending itself, has to be cut. To cite a single rate increase index, 197274 operations appropriations for the public colleges totals in excess of $760 million, up 40 per cent over the preceding biennium.

Some commissioners believe that colleges such as William and Mary, Longwood and Rad ford will be cited as institutions with uneconomically small student bodies; that is, as colleges able to accommodate and educate more students than they currently have.

Longwood could apparently enroll 5,000 students; but it is having some trouble signing up half that many.

Savings Seen

a minimum, I'm certain going to save millions of as a result of this As-

sembly Commission on Higher Education, which hired the consultants."

"We've built more than we needed," said another.

State Sen. William F. Stone, who died last month, was chairman of the commission. Richmond State Sen. Edward E. Willey has replaced him.

The eight commission members have steadfastly declined to reveal detailsofthe report. Some were willing to disclose general contents. There had been a pledge, they said, against premature release.

"It's the most traumatic report ever produced for the legislature," said one.

"It's just too hot for release prior to the gubernatorial election," another said.

One commission member gave this explanation: "fou hire consultants and they've got to earn their money.

We don't know that what they say is right. Let's hear it all, then we'll issue our final report and recommendations.

"The consultants have said a lot of things, many of them dealing with administration and management of the institutions. They were, I think, in some instances merely being picky-picky. By what standards do they judge?

I want to know before I make any conclusions."

Another member added: "I personally think that some of the colleges are projecting enrollments and asking for an educational plant that can't be justified by the projections.

"But while there may have been some over-building, that doesn't mean that some particular institution doesn't need a specific facility - a chemistry building as example."

Besides Willey, members of the commission are: Sen. Paul W. Manns, D.Caroline, and Dels. Richard M. Bagley, D.-Hampton; D. French Slaughter, D.-Culpeper; Ray L. Garland, R.-Roanoke; Archibald A. Campbell, D.-Wytheville; W. L. Lemmon, D.-Marion, and former Del. W. Roy Smith, of Petersburg.
