Small Turn-Out, Numerous Questions Highlight Press Conference By THALIA F. GERACHIS The April Press Conference by Dr. Willett took place Thursday afternoon in the Gold Room. Due to clear tennis courts and 80 degree weather, it was not very well attended. Susann Smith opened the meeting by announcing the recent activities of Legislative Board in the last few weeks. These included Pitch In Week, the fresh paint jobs to the benches and Lankford outdoor furniture by the boards and the proposed Bus Wash next week at the physical Plant. A tree will also be dedicated to Donna Norton on Stubbs Mall next week. Approved March 30 were new Judicial Board proposals. These include changes in the Campusing procedures which will be announced later. Passed April 12 were the Residence Board proposals dealing with coeducational residence halls. These will also be announced later. Dr. Willett's address was opened with comments dealing with the value of Press Conferences. He said that they were begun 8 years ago as another vehicle for student expression. They serve a purpose to only those that attend. If a student cares enough about something, she'll come. Any questions students have may be given to Legislative board or Dr. Willett beforehand or at the Conference. Student voice is always welcomed. Dr. Willett said that no major decision that he has been directly involved in, has not already been discussed at these meetings. Dr. Carolyn Wells then discussed the reason for an August preregistration. She said
that two major reasons included the fact that it is very difficult to know in April what one wants to do in August and students need more time to think about what they want to take. Dr. Wells said that "I feel very positive about this so we'll see what happens." Registration will begin at 9:00 on August 31. Summer School information will be available May 1 and mass mailing of fall catalogues will take place this summer. Dr. Wells also responded to one worried student's question about the
possibility of not getting a class she might need to graduate. Adjustments will be made so that no senior will be in jeopardy of not graduating on time. "An orderly and organized way of registering is by computer but it is dehumanizing and takes away from the personal aspect, so we will continue with this way of registering," stated Dr. Wells. Students will still be able to register for H-SC classes and these schedules are now available in the Registrar's Office. In closing the discussion on preregistration, Dr. Wells said that "we are morally and legally responsible for registering students, but if you anticipate any special problems, please give us some advance notice." Mr. Harper in the book store will be given information determined by past figures and some educated guesses will be made on the question of book sales. The Academic Policies Committee has rules that varsity athletics will now carry course credit towards general education requirements. The maximum will be 8 credit hours and participation will be reevaluated so that grades will be given to participants. Dr. Heintz stated that a Leadership Conference Committee has been formed to discuss the proposed leadership seminar question. She said that "it is being looked at closely." Funding is being sought to add new journalism, government, psycology or sociology professors to the College. As indicated by the
chairman, this will be a net increase in the College of two professors. The State legislature in Richmond has a new program designed to prosecuring of private monies for attracting additional help. This is known as the Eminent Scholar program. Private funds by the College will be matched 50-50 by the legislature. These funds are above and beyond normal allocations and are designed to improve quality education. Dr. Willett announced that fees for next year, not formally approved, state an overall increase of 4 per cent. "Fortunately, we're lower than any other state institution, escalating costs being what they are." This will be an approximate rise of $100.00. The college is 14 per cent above last year's admissions as of this iime last year. Good overall applications, half of which are male. Dr. Willett also said that 3 times as many incoming freshman students meet the Scholars program requirements as they have in the last three years. In introducing Mr. Klassen of the Dining Hall, Dr. Willett said that "we have been giving some thought to the feeding system — but we have no final decision yet. Although this review is not because of the move to coeducation, it is a motivating factor. Mr. Klassen said that he is looking into relevant possibilities for feeding. A continuous feeding program is now under close investigation. This would extend hot breakfast to one hour, the lunch hour to 1^-2 hrs., and the
dinner hour the same as lunch. The advantages to students are many. It would offer more flexibility in their schedules, would also eliminate the need for assigned seats and closed tables. There would probably be a need for two shifts of waitresses — meaning that the need for waitresses would be great. The likelihood for closing the downstairs dining hall is probable. A decision on Birthday Dinner hasn't been made yet. Slater is trying to improve and upgrade our dining hall program — but feedback is needed. If students have any ideas, please get in touch with Mr. Klassen or the Dining Hall Committee. Dr. Heintz also said that this may possibly add another MWF class and still leave TTH afternoons for meetings, etc. Mr. Klassen said that ' z of our food cost fee goes to food and the other half to running the dining hall, including labor, utilities and replacements. A student complaint after the meeting about the dirty dishes situation brought this reply:"dirty dishes are a big problem now — I am aware of it. It is a personnel problem of negligence that I have to control." In closing the Press Conference, Dr. Willett announced that next week a number of students will be asked to evaluate some of the College publications — this does not include the newspaper or the yearbook. This evaluation is being done for admissions purposes. "We're very happy with the 14 per cent increase but we're constantly striving for improvement."

Push . . . This last issue of the semester gives an opportunity to look back and wish and to look forward and hope. Too many choose to dwell in the past and wish things had been different. A lot can be learned from the past, but only if applied to the future. Longwood has a long way to go before it will become the college it is reported to be, and the only way it will be bettered is for the apathetic students and faculty to stop sitting and start voicing opinions and pushing for change. It is all too easy to simply sit back and complain, but it is evident that this has never and will never bring about action. If only a few cry out for answers and new policies, it is assumed by those with final authority that the majority is happy and there is no real need to listen to the radical few. Conversations then tend to go in one ear and out the other, serving only as a means to take up time. Too many meetings between administration, faculty, and students are not taken seriously. Suggestions are deemed trivial and forgotten. Only after they are constantly brought up month after month are they considered with any lasting importance. For years, students have been asking for academic credit for intercollegiate sports, and have recently been pressing for credit for those students in positions of leadership. Now, team members will receive the credit they have deserved for so long. How much longer will we have to ask for a leadership class? If student government leaders of the future are any more apathetic, the entire idea may be dropped. Needless to say, a class will do little to help this year's workers, unless implemented immediately. The idea of personal satisfaction achieved from putting out hours upon hours of work each week is a weak one. Satisfaction does little for a quality point average, unless bringing it down because students have taken their jobs too seriously. Many are forced to take less semester hours during their terms of office in order to do what is required both of the office and of classes. Perhaps students should put their grades above their offices and do only what there is spare time to do. Then nothing would ever be accomplished. At least a leadership class would have time set aside each week for the purposes of evaluating offices. What would be so hard about setting it up? It could be a great time of discussion and feedback among students, and evaluation by the professor could be in terms of the amount of improvement accomplished by the students. Sitting still and saying nothing results in a nothing office and the student could be evaluated accordingly. Speakers could be brought in from a Richmond newspaper, from the General Assembly, or other numerous possible sources and could give student leaders some ideas to add to their own. How long will it take the administration to stop dwelling on past accomplishments and look to possibilities in the future? Longwood will not become better it it remains the same. The future lies in the hands of those who are willing to push, no matter how far.
Many thanks Until next year! Visiting Artists' Series
Thanks From SUN Dear Editor, On behalf of the Student Union I would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU for all your help, cooperation, patience, enthusiasm and on and on . . . You, the Student Body, Student Union Members and Workers, the Rotunda Staff, and Faculty-Staff-Administration, have helped to make this year a big success for the Student Union and its programming. So now in the close of this another academic year I would like to wish each of you a happy summer. I would also like to encourage your involvement and cooperation in the Student Union and its activities in the coming year because it is only through your help that we can get things done for you. See ya next year Roxann Fox
Artists' Thanks Dear Editor: The Visiting Artists' Series Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank the students, faculty, staff, administration, and everyone else who helped tc make this year's productions such a great success. Your attendance and support have been heartwarming, and definitely not ignored. We only hope will we continue to have your support in the years to come!
Chi Letter It seems only appropriate at this time of the year (the hectic finale) to pause and give thanks. The members of 1976 CHI would like to thank the students and faculty of Longwood for their support throughout the year. We would especially like to thank our sponsors who have donated their time and energy. This year was one of changes — some obvious, others more subtle. The forum on human sexuality was hopefully the beginning of annual programs which present information on controversial but relevant topics. It seems some students were disturbed over the chosen topic. The various presentations were not intended to dictate any particular moral behavior but rather, to promote an awareness of sexuality. The CHI booth at Oktoberfest was another first. Members made the prizes and donated homemade crafts. Alumnae CHI members were asked to work. This venture proved very successful and we believe the proceeds will allow CHI to become a more active campus organization, (too, this allows us to make contributions to the Landscape Committee and the Longwood Scholarship fund). Dr. Blackwell gave a special
Thanksgiving blessing on behalf of CHI — it was (and is) our hope that you felt the necessity of feeling both fortunate and thankful for all our gifts. While the Bicentennial contest was not as well represented as we had hoped, it was successful in that it allowed individual talent to be recognized. This was also an experiment (of sorts) in communications. A comprehensive newsletter was sent out to alumni CHI members informing them of this year's projects and plans, (the idea here being improvement of internal communications). Communication is a word which has probably been overemphasized and yet partially neglected on Longwood's campus. CHI of 1976 has seen improvement of communications as a necessity. While it is true that CHI has not physically shown itself, we have tried to support and encourage both individual and group efforts with an active approach. CHI hopes to always support the entire student body and strives to recognize efforts of students, faculty, and organizations. Visible signs of CHI's support and appreciation are the letters, and candles which are sent out and banners which are hung during the year. We sincerely hope that our efforts have improved the college community in some way. We realize that all efforts would be fruitless without your support. For this, we thank you. CHI of 1976
Legislative Board Meeting HighlightsExams, Open House, Constitutions By MARY LOUISE PARRIS The meeting of Legislative Board on April 12 met in the Commons Room of "Curry and Frazer. Volunteers from the group of representatives were taken to help in giving alternate exams if any professor needs someone to pass the exams out and take them up in his or her absence. Nominations for the Arc Award, an award given to a
worthy senior who has not been recognized, were taken. Two rising seniors, Willa Derbin and Jessie Bruce were nominated by the representatives. The Residence Board Proposal on Co-Educational Residence Halls was approved. This prososal states: "During the hours other than Open House hours in which a Residence Hall is open to
nonresidents; all guests of the opposite sex must remain in the areas which are accessible to them through the main entrance of the Residence Hall (such as the main parlors).

Weak Complaints And Invalid Excuses Nurture Apathy On Campus Today ByJEANPOSSNACK Who do you plan to vote for? Vote? Yes — there IS a presidential election approaching — didn't you know? Out of those of you who did know there is an election, how many of you could name the candidates? Do not worry Longwood. You are not the sole target of my grief. This commentary could appear in any college paper across the country and it would be applicable. Remember the 60's when students burned and demonstrated and HAD A CAUSE TO FIGHT FOR? Of course we were not there, but we remember enough. How many of you even HAVE A CAUSE TO FIGHT FOR? Students today really do not care. The idea for fighting for something that will only indirectly affect us is ridiculous. Why should I do it? Let the next fellow. The amount of complete and total apathy existing today is enough to see us through the next three decades. The majority of students seem to only care about keeping decent grades to be able to get a job; getting into nursing school or law school; dressing for Greek Week; getting a date to Easters; or anything but the man who will eventuaUy run this country for the next four years. Three months after
graduation who will remember how many 4.0's you got; how great you looked one week; or who you went out with? No one. BUT, the very same man will still be in office, running our country. Do not give me any more excuses about why you are not participating in your very own student government; about why you are not writing for the very newspaper you condemn to hell; about why You, the CONCERNED student, are not concerned enough to do anything. I have heard all of your excuses about that. What I do want you to do is give me one valid excuse not to care about the President of the United States. Not one valid excuse exists for you to give me. I would be surprised if one third of you has taken time to register to vote. It takes less than five minutes of your precious sunbathing time to fill in one small card. What takes most of the time is dragging you away from your soap opera, suntan oil, and books. So who are you going to vote for? You won't vote. But you will be the first to complain about social security, income tax, and that man with the gun pointed at you. Are you laughing yet? I am. I laugh to think that you will even read this, so why did I write it? Because, unlike you, I vote to make my vote count.

Senior Activities To End Year By MAUREEN HANLEY As another year comes to an end, the class of '76 is busily working on various senior activities, such as the senior Banquet, senior skit and deciding on a gift for the college. "Since this class is graduating in a bicentennial year, Dr. Willett along with the members of the senior class, decided to do something different for the Senior banquet," stated senior class president, Terri Sawyer. "Instead of the traditional banquet, held in the lower dining hall with the little sisters giving a skit, the class decided to have a semiformal banquet, on April 26, with a social hour before hand," said Terri. This is the first time that a class has broken the tradition but the majority of the class felt that interest in the traditional banquet was dying so they voted to have their banquet in the main dining hall with a social hour before hand that will be sponsored by the alumni association," commented Terri. The next night, following the banquet, the seniors will present their annual skit. Terri stated that ■ 'they are presently working on plans and ideas for the skit." Then on May 15 graduation will be held. Terri said that, "Dr. Willett will select their speaker for this graduation from various names that have been submitted.*' So, after four years at ole Longwood, the seniors will conclude their final year with various activities that will be a r em ember ance of their college days.
about him and he could leave out the year 1965 (which he couldn't remember anyway). Hesitantly his manager agreed. Several weeks later, he received the following information. It was wrapped around a rock, thrown through the window of his office and marked "return postage guaranteed. ' ... The first time Tom Parks ever performed was as the M.C. for a high school talent show. It was at this time, when Tom first stepped on that stage, in front of all those people, that he decided what he wanted to be; a Certified Public Accountant. In 1973, armed with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Journalism from the University of Florida, Tom Parks moved to Atlanta to lake his place in society and found it had already been taken. (A high school drop-out from Denver got it in 1970 while Tom was taking a final exam in Comparative Religion. The guy was now making $28,000 a year with stock options.) A weaker person in the face of this kind of disaster would have given up and moved back in with his parents. Tom's parents moved and didn't leave a forwarding address. That left two alternatives, become a comedian or go into a coma ... so The second time he stepped on stage was late in 1973 at the tender age of 23. A career was launched. Since that time Tom Parks has appeared with such greats as Neil Sedaka, Red White and Blue Grass, Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show and J.J. Cale. Tom is now in the process of writing a book entitled "How to Raise Chinchillas in your Temporal Lobes," a definitive guide to selecting a college and what to expect from four years of all night poker, eight o'clock classes and institutional food. (Hint: Euell Gibbons has one.) To support his growing need for paper and pencils, Tom is also touring the country speaking on high school fads, college grads, plants in heat and his mother's cooking.

Co-Education ?! Guys And Class Traditions- Be Friendly, Longwood Ladies ByJEANPOSSNACK Guys. They will be here soon. And then hopefully our social lives will pick up tempo. But what about all those class traditions that got people like me to come to Ix)ngwood? What will happen to our beloved Modine Gunch and Sally Red and White? Will their male counterparts be Morrison Gunch and Stud Red and White? How about Oktoberfest? Somehow the idea of us electing a Geistmister and a GeistMS.ter just isn't kosher. Will color rush become a tackle football game? What kind of guy will want to come to a girls' school? We all know the type: short, high voice, soft hands — your basic queer. Fear not, L.C., these guys can be cheerleaders for the girls who will undoubtedly be participating in the tackle color rush. Do not forget red and white sings and green and white sings. How many guys will want to dress up as Santa Claus and the Jolly Green Giant just to go sing songs about that women's libber Joan of Arc? What will become of Freshman Production? Freshman pinning? How many guys will be willing to stand in the 100 degree Sunken Garden forever in stiff white dresses just for a cheap ribbon pin?
The Sophomore Road Show will benefit with some males along, but what about Sophomore Auction? Sophomore Weekend? The Junior Ring Dance? The Ring Ceremony? Senior Capping? Even though these are the thoughts of everybody, in my esteemed opinion, not much will change with the arrival of the male species. First, officials are not expecting three thousand males next year. If this were the case, perhaps we would have a problem. However, with less than one hundred males on a campus of two thousand girls, cultural shock is the last thing to worry about. Secondly, these traditions are long-standing ones. Over the years, with the addition of males and the adjustment to males, evolution will take its course and these things will be amended. However, changes take time, and surely the traditions of many years will not be abolished in one year for less than one hundred males. Administration and officials have requested that we be civil and that we do not alienate these males. Stereotyping these males is the best way of alienating them. They will be coming to Ixmgwood for a good education — just as we did. It is your choice. You can be friendly or you can alienate them and you. So be friendly Longwood, and boost your social life.

By MAUREEN HANLEY As the class of 80 makes its debut at Ixmgwood College, many new, exciting, and unexpected adventures, situations, and people will greet them. First their room will be swamped with their colleague, student assistant, and orientation leader, then the wall will be invaded by the "gentlemen" from Hampden-Sydney and finally their eyes will glare upon their new fellow male classmates. So, with the arrival of the boys, the numerous unanswered questions such as "What will they be like"? or "How many are coming"? or "How will they effect the school"? will finally be answered. With the admitting of the boys, Ixmgwood's traditional "all girls" methods and ideas are destined to undergo change, especially since they are housing upperclass boys on second floor Frazer. What once was an all girls pajama party could turn into a wild year long beach party. Also I wonder how many of the guys will endure the rigorous cattle drive towards the dining hall to endower the food or if they will just use their football skills and tackle their way to the door. Then once at their assigned table I wonder if they will understand that the food has to u<> around to eight people and not one person per bowl. For, as Longwood has to remember, they are still growing boys. Also the boys are already on the fencing team and in the dance company. So, the hockey, tennis, archery, and swim teams better be prepared for a co-ed squad, but just think how much more fun you can have on those road trips! Also, I wonder how well the boys are going to comply with a curfew or a nightly stop to nighty watch. Since guys are suppose to be more independent than girls I wonder if the rules will be broken or "if what's equal for girls is equal for guys" will be applied. Then there is always the question of dating? Will the I-ongwood boys bring competition for the Hampden-Sydney guys; to the point where the H-S guys will finally meet defeat with the L C. girls Thus it appears that the arrival of the guys, are bound to make many changes with Ixmgwood's present policies. So that the class of 1980 is destined to contribute many unique and unexpected situations and problems for Longwood and its student body.

LB. Dent To Appear In Taint Your Wagon' KEYSVILLE - The tuneful Lerner and Loewe musical, "Paint Your Wagon," opens a six performance run on the John H. Daniel Campus of SVCC Thursday evening, April 22, at 8:30 p.m. This Broadway hit marks the tenth production in less than two years by the dedicated Daniel Players, a drama group sponsored by the Daniel Campus of Southside Virginia Community College. "Paint Your Wagon" is a funny, family-type entertainment, recounting a renown turning point in American history, the California Gold Rush. Bringing to life this era is a large cast of characters — muscular miners, mischievous maidens, merry Mexicans, and misplaced Mormons. Some of Southside Virginia's finest singing actors recreate the exhuberant roles.

Summer Olympics Tickets Still Available To Women Tickets to the Summer Olympics in Montreal, plus lodging, are now available through the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, of which our Athletic Department is a member. "We are very proud to offer great Olympic package trips, with excellent tickets to major events, plus a wide range of accommodations," said Sandy Wiener, the overall coordinator of the Olympic project. The Summer Olympics run from July 16 through August 1 and promise to be one of the best ever. Furthermore, the Olympic games are unlikely to be this close to the United States until the 1990's, if ever. Tickets available include track and field, volleyball, soccer, equestrian, basketball, and other important sports. The lodging
ranges from deluxe youth hostels, through private homes in downtown Montreal, to complete service motels. Prices start at $193 per person for eight days of tickets and eight nights of lodging in a youth hostel, through $384 per person for the motel package. "Many people think the games are all sold out, but this is not so," said Mr. Wiener. 'We are pleased that because of our access to tickets and lodging, lots of people from this area will now be able to see the most important sporting event of our time, in a city as close and as attractive as Montreal." Mr. Wiener says that anyone who is interested should get in touch with him at Convention Specialists, 32 Court Street, Brooklyn, New York, 11201. His telephone number is (212) 6240686.

Wednesday night, April the 14, at 5:00 p.m., served as the datte for the initiation of the new Junior and Senior candidates and two faculty members into the honor society of Phi Kappa Phi. Held in the Longwood College Banquet room, the initiation was followed by a banquet after which the chapter was addressed by speaker Mr. Maurice Duke, the Book Review Editor for the Richmond Times Dispatch, who discussed the plight of the humanities today. The society of Phi Kappa Phi, with a motto of "May the love of learning rule mankind", is an interdisciplinary organization which attempts to maintain unsurpassed standards. It elects initiates from all recognized branches of academic endeavor, such as liberal arts, engineering, business administration, agriculture, education, pharmacy, etc. In this way, the society seeks to reward academic excellence wherever it can be identified in any institution that has a chapter of this organization. The constitution of the Longwood Chapter of Phi Kappa Phi operates within the framework of the constitution of the national chapter, and specifies certain criteria and
limits to be observed each year in selecting to membership. These conditions are summarized as follows: The Longwood chapter of Phi Kappa Phi limits its membership to those students of marked academic achievement. Juniors elected to membership must have an academic average of 3.75. Seniors chosen must have an academic average of 3.50. In addition, two members of the faculty whose academic records in both undergraduate and graduate work match that of the student members may be elected to membership each year. Dr. Craft and Professor Crowl were initiated as faculty members of the organization at the April 14 Longwood College ceremony. Dr. Craft is a graduate of Agnes Scott college and holds the Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. Last year she was engaged in post doctoral work in Religious Studies at Yale University. Professor Crowl is a graduate of Davis and Elkins College and holds the Master of Arts degree from the University of Virginia where he is a candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree.
