Carousel Termed Cautious Success ByDUDLEYSAUVE Seeing a production of a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical is like greeting an old friend you haven't seen for a few years. After a joyful reunion you begin to make mental notes on how that friend has changed. In the case of the production of CAROUSEL, a cooperative venture of the Ixmgwood Players, the Department of Music, and the Department of Speech and Dramatic Arts, this reviewer had three hours for those mental notes. A blue editing pencil would have helped the show tremendously. Even the Rodgers and Hammerstein Library which controls the production rights includes a clause in its contract stating that the show can be cut to help the production move smoothly. It would have been wise to follow this suggestion. The integration of story and character into music and dance to advance the plot was a
Rodgers and Hammerstein innovation. Indeed, the director's notes on the program inform the audience of this fact. For the most part the elimination of the dancing would have advanced the plot (and, incidentally, materially cut down the running time) in this production. The dancing children were cute, the dancing men didn't delay the show because they danced during the song, but the opening pantomime, Louise's ballet on the beach, and the girls' dance interlude in "June Is Bustin' Out All Over" seemed interminable. A musical is designed so that major set changes can take place behind a closed curtain while another scene takes place in front. Several close curtainchange set-open curtain delays added to the length of the show. There are, however, several moments of sheer beauty in CAROUSEL. Every time Mary Breeden began to sing, the
Fall 1980 Tentative Housing Plan The following tentative fall housing plan has been developed by considering predicted housing needs as well as input from Residence Board, students, resident staff, and administrative personnel. Please feel free to direct comments, suggestions, or questions regarding this plan to the Housing Office by February 29, 1980. North Cunningham — freshman men Tabb — freshman women Curry (7 and 8) — freshman women Cox — open to all men Main Cunningham — open to all men Frazer 2, 3, 4 — open to all men where fraternities are not housed Wheeler — open to all women Curry 2, 6, 9 & 10 - open to all women South Cunningham — open to all women Frazer 5-10 — open to all women French — open to all women (Note: French Hall may undergo major renovation effective January, 1981) Stubbs — will house all sororities Notes: 1. Rooms and suites will be assigned during room selection only if filled to capacity. 2. No single rooms will be available with the exception of the three single rooms in South Cunningham. 3. All regular triple rooms will be clearly designated for upperclass sign-up. Students who wish to voluntarily triple-up in a regular double room may do so by special request to the Director of Housing. 4. Conversion of double-occupancy rooms to triple occupancy will include all Curry and Frazer triples (not occupied by staff members) and French 205 and 206. 5. Homesteading will be allowed by roommates in all undesignated, upperclass residence hall rooms. 6. Sororities and fraternities will provide the Director of Housing with lists of members and suggested room assignments. Members who cannot be housed will need to go through the regular housing process. 7. The Stubbs Hall ground floor rooms not currently assigned to the sororities will not be reserved for freshman women. 8. Should tripling become necessary, freshmen will be assigned with other freshmen whenever possible and any upperclassman affected by an over-assignment will be notified as quickly as possible. 9. The following areas may not be homesteaded: North Cunningham, Tabb, Stubbs — ground floor, designated RA rooms, designated handicapped rooms, fraternity and sorority spaces, Curry (7 and 8) and South Ruffner.
audience was thrilled. The clarity of tone, the accuracy of pitch, the emotion in her words were a joy to hear. Local audiences, familiar with Mrs. Breeden's roles in SHENANDOAH and CAMELOT, were not disappointed in her Julie Jordan. The part is made for her, and even in comparison to the original Julie, Jan Clayton, Mary comes off on top. From the opening notes of "If I Loved You" she felt no doubt that she was in command of the role. Rebecca Nunez's "Carrie" was a good foil for Julie's serious ness. Her voice is beautiful and her comedy deft. I feel that she played the part too old—or perhaps it was her costume and make-up. Billy Bigelow, played by J. Douglas Blevins, is the anti-hero of the show. His -singing is nice. His acting needs improvement. He wasn't totally believable as the rough, self-centered, ladykilling Billy. How does he "throw away my sweater and dress like a dude" when he's already dressed like a dude. "Soliloquy" was a disappointment. Robert Webber was appropriately prim and proper as Enoch Snow. His comic interpretation of "Geraniums In the Winder" was fun. The orchestra, under the direction of Louard E. Egbert, was a beautiful compliment to the show. It's a thrill to hear good music performed well, and this was. If the main curtain had been open, we could have heard the overture and entre-acte better, but sacrificing the pit brought the actors closer to the audience.
Carrie played by Rebecca Nunez sings of the Wonderful Mr. Snow as Julie played by Mary Breeden listens in Longwood Players Production of Carsousel. phot0 by Jacklt 5tw CAROUSEL is full of singable and memorable songs: "If I Loved You," "I'm Going to Marry Mr. Snow," "June is Bustin' Out All Over", "This Was A Real Nice Clambake," and of course the hauntingly beautiful "You'll Never Walk Alone." The latter song, used as the finale to the show, brought tears to the eyes of many sitting around me. All in all. CAROUSEL was an enjoyable, if long, evening. It was entertaining and a classic in the repetoire of musical comedy. If
you've never seen it, you owe it to yourself to see it. If you have seen it, comparisons will be inevitable. Perhaps comparing a college production to any other production is unfair. If the purpose of educational theater is to provide students with the literature of the theater and to provide a vehicle for students to get experience and to learn, then CAROUSEL was a good choice and served its purpose. And it was a cautious success.
Student Government Day Set By ROXANNE SLAUGHTER Would you like to have a voice in issues and express your opinions? Here is your chance, Student Government Day! Legislative Board is the sponsor of Student Government Day which has been planned for March 4. The day is organized so students may get together with faculty and administration. A student is assigned to a faculty or administration member with whom he or she can spend the day, attend lunch or the Banquet that evening, talk with for any given length of time about concerns, Student Government, or the Faculty, Administration member's job. A student may also elect to attend class with the faculty member, take your assigned person with you to your class, or to the Press Conference. The list of main events for this year's Student Government Day is lunch at 12:05, a Press Conference in I-ower Dining Hal! at 12:45, a mock trial-time to be announced, and a banquet in the
Virginia Room at 6 p.m. The banquet in the Virginia Room will have entertainment by Charlie Mason and Dale Roller. This year's guest speaker will be Dr. Anthony Cristo of the Business and Economics Department. Dr. Cristo's topic of discussion is not known at the time. Also, the Board of Visitors have been invited to the Banquet so this will provide an opportunity for students to talk with them. On March 6 and 7 the Board of Visitors will be meeting again. Students are urged to sit in on their meetings. The Board has stressed in the past the lack of communication between the students and Board members. Mary Slade and Julia Combs, co-chairpersons of Student Government Day, said, "Preparation first began with over 250 letters being mailed to all administration and faculty members. They were given approximately two weeks to respond. Out of these 250, only 30 some teachers responded at all.
This is a very small percentage and we were quite disappointed." They are really pushing for students participation because it has been felt that in the past many students did not turn out, so therefore the faculty and administration have lost interest. Flyers have been placed all over campus and sign up sheets were placed in the New Smoker for students. Julia Combs stated that administration and faculty members could still sign up for lunch or the banquet, by contacting her at Box 831 or Mary Slade, Box 204. Further information on SGA Day will be in the Daily Bulletin. It has been stated that in the past the main problem was getting the students to get in touch with his or her assigned person before SGA. Day. Students must contact the person prior to March 4 to set up an agenda for the day. So go out, get things set up with your person and spend the day trying to improve things here at your school, Longwood College!

Jammin9 Blues Greets Enthusiastic Crowd
By LISA SPENCER If an architect who played in bars at night decided to devote all his time to only music, what would be the result? Great—if the architect-musician is Jamie DeFrates. Jamie's performance in the Gold Room Tuesday night is his second appearance at Ijongwood, and he says he loves it here. "I enjoy the informal-type audience," Jamie remarked. And most of his audience really enjoyed him. His Jim Croce-type melodies were the kind that stick in a person's mind for a long time. Probably the audience's favorite song was one that Jamie said will more than likely be the name of his next album. "Struggles" is the type of song that can easily be related to by everyone. Practically all of Jamie's songs were that type. He sang about everything from Abraham Lincoln to himself. When asked after his performance what he does to prepare for a concert, Jamie said that he takes deep-breathing exercises. "It helps to relax my diaphram," Jamie stated. Apparently, it worked well Tuesday night because after his show, Jamie had a line of admirers asking for his autograph and making him promise to return to Longwood next year.

Sanders A Definite Hit By MARK M. SLOAN Longwood students were treated this weekend to a talented and creative artist in the person of Don Sanders. Despite the conflicting times of play "Carousel," and a party for Main Cunningham residents in the Lower Dining Hall, attendance was fairly good, and those who came enjoyed Sanders' show immensely. Don Sanders is a native of Houston, Texas, where he has been performing since 1966. In the late Sixties he began touring the national folk circuit, appearing with such acts and performers as Josh White, Johnny Hammond, and Pete
Seeger. He also enjoys teaching his skills, and participates in workshops and residency programs. Sanders' music combines a light, melodic style with lyrics that are deceptively poetic. He established an instant and intimate rapport with his Longwood audiences, delighting his listeners with humorous and satirical songs of his own composition. His music is very personal and unique, not to mention entertaining. Don Sanders made a definite hit here, impressing his listeners with his individuality, charisma, and wit. We were honored to have such fine talent here at Longwood.
By MINDY HIRSCH Ix)ngwood "(k)t the Fever" last Thursday night when the Allstars appeared on campus. The Allstars, a prime rhythm and blues band, from Charlottesville originally, was, according to many students, "excellent; the best Saturday Night Alive band the S-UN has put out." The Allstars opened to an enthusiastic crowd with a jammin' blues tune. Their opening statement promising not to play disco met with overwhelming approval. The band demanded a response from the audience — and got it. Few members of the audience failed to be captured by the Allstars' musical talent. The Allstars began five years ago in a Charlottesville living room. They've progressed since then and have had numerous performances along the East Coast. The Allstars have also been the backup band for several prominent groups including Muddy Waters and George Thoroughgood. Dick Green, the
lead guitarist, is the only surviving original band member other than the manager. Green's guitar wailed the woes of sorrow' oil many of the band's blues tunes. His guitar seemed to "Gently Weep" on several of the Allstars' blues jams. Two band members, Carlo Novi on sax and Tony Pallagrosi on trumpet, once played for Southside Johnny. Together this horn section and the guitar section, with Dick Green, rhythm guitarist Sandy Grey and Steve Riggs on bass guitar, enthralled the audience. Paul Hammond's concluding drum solo was also a definite crowd pleaser. Although the female vocalist, Lucile Schoettle, accompanied only a portion of the Allstars' performance, her presence did add dimension and she inflamed the enthusiastic crowd. The comments that the Allstars were "dynamite," "great." and "fantastic" rumbled throughout Thursday night's audience. And, as one student explained, "it looks like the band is having as much fun as I am!"

His aims for the company were simple: to introduce opera as an art form to

Reply To Parents Dear Editor, I would like to thank Residence Board for their letter of two weeks ago which dealt with my earlier gripes in such a constructive and understanding manner. I was very impressed with the amount of favorable response my letter received in general, not only from students who agree with my views, but from faculty members and even a few administrative personnel as well. However, if I may, I would like to address a few remarks in the general direction of the authors of the now famous Petersen Response. Let it be known that I do not mind constructive criticism of my personal views in the least, but I do resent personal remarks, gross misinterpretations, and rhetoric, especially when backed by poor grammar and few facts. For one thing, my letter was not entitled "What's Wrong with Longwood". I merely submitted a personal opinion on one single facet of the system that annoyed me, which in no way could have been misconstrued as a "dissertation" against my school. If I had wished to choose a college more "in keeping" with my views, I would have done so. However, I came here for an education, not for the experience of agreeing to every whim or idle regulation imposed upon me. Thus I find the statement "if one is in conflict with the regulations, one should go where they would be happier" ridiculous. If all of us shared this view, where would we be today? If the American colonists had chosen not to fight Britain's regulations, but instead to move somewhere where they'd be happier, we might all be living in Egypt now. I don't always agree with my parents' views either, but I'm not going to go look for another set of folks. The point is, rhetoric aside, rules are made to be tested, improved, updated, or revolted against if necessary, especially those that no longer serve a useful purpose. And as for exaggeration, the statement that concerns other colleges with unrestricted

Your Turn visitation which said, "the students' safety is constantly in jeopardy" seems a bit hard to swallow. This would imply that students are walking around, looking over their shoulders, in constant fear of rape or death, just because they're allowed to visit each other more. Sounds pretty rough,' huh? I would like to see just one example of a student's safety having been threatened directly as a result of a visitation rule. I do realize that the potentiality of an increased security problem under unrestricted circumstances exists, but our rules allow a large margin for security problems as well. (Besides, I don't recall demanding unrestricted visitation in my letter.) Anyway, if someone intends to do damage to a person or property, it's highly unlikely that the time of day or a set of regulations is going to stop him (or her). This can easily be evidenced on our campus by the problems Stubbs dormitory had recently with a prowler. Our visitation rules did not hamper this activity in the least. It was the campus police, not a set of regulations, that finally ended the threat to student safety the prowler caused. So Mr. and Mrs. Petersen, the security and safety you seem so sure exists because of rules that tell us when and for how long we can visit in other dorms seems sadly lacking. And if you don't like that, I suggest you look somewhere else to send your children, where they can be guarded over more according to your views. Sincerely, BiU LeWarne
stated that the Judicial Board investigators have the right to ask the administrative assistants for help in searching the room. The question was then asked why the administrative assistants were allowed to do this, since the Handbook given to the students at the beginning of the semester did not state anything about it. Miss Lowe's answer was, "If you'd like to see it in black and white, we can sure put it down." I fear that Ms. Lowe is unaware that there is a Legislative Board on campus. Their duty is to interpret the Constitution of the Student Government Association and set the rule that the students follow. The Judicial and Resident Boards are here to enforce these laws. I would be very frightened of the law enforcing arm of the SGA starts making up their own rules. The Handbook on the new Judicial Board states: "The two investigators conduct the search while the (administrative staff members and campus police) control the traffic to and from the room or rooms and prevent harassment, intimidation or interference during the search. At times, it may be necessary to regulate traffic or conduct in the hall." Nowhere does it state that administrative staff members, Head Residents or even Resident Assistants have the right to assist in a search, or even be present in the room during a search. Please, Ms. Lowe, let the Legislative Board do their job and make sure that Judicial Board follow the rules they make. I-ongwood is not a Wild West Town of the 19th Century and we don't need "Frontier Justice"! Respectfully, George K. Bennett III
Search Procedures Dear Editor, In last week's article about the press conference, one paragraph struck a discordant note. It was about the new search procedures being used by our Judicial Board. In repeating what the article said, some student raised the question of what role the administrative assistants had in the course of a room search. Sally Lowe, Judicial Board President,
Election*; Committee Dear Editor, In the February 12 issue of The Rotunda, reference is made on the Editorial page concerning student involvement in the S.G.A. An appeal to the student body is made on the need for everyone to become involved in the direction that the three governing boards here at Longwood are taking. I
•Editor's TurnThere is a coined phrase that is used a lot around this college that offers a lot of different results. The phrase, "We'll check into that," is used by the administration, staff, classified employees, faculty and students alike. Students get frustrated when they hear this line from administrators, especially at Press Conferences. Its not that they do not check into it, its just that sometimes the answer is never heard. For example, what happened to the "We'll check into putting birth dates on ID's" from two years ago. Well, Friday brought a quick "We'll check into that" and they did. After hearing several students question the fact that large quanities of dog food were being delivered to the Snack Bar and Dining Hall, The Rotunda approached Gordon Inge with the question. He, along with the District ARA Manager and Longwood's Food Produce Manager, was shocked by the question and immediately answered that no dog food had been delivered to ARA Services. He quickly added the familiar line, "We'll check into that." Not more than 15 minutes after the meeting ended, he telephoned us saying he had an answer to the dog food mystery. It seems Wayne Harper, our favorite bookstore keeper, has large quanities of dog food delivered to him in Lankford. Why Mr. Harper needs dog food we do not know. But, as long as he does not try to feed it to us that's his business. What does worry us though is the thought of having it served in our Dining Hall and^br Snack Bar. With recent promises to improve the menus, the addition of dog food just did not fit in .. ."No, folks .. .It's not that bad, yet!" Were happy to say that the question was answered and that those unidentified dishes served every now and then for lunch and dinner are not dog food. Finally, we thank Mr. Inge for his timely reply to "We'll check into that." That's one time it really did mean what it says.
nope my story can be a prime example of what happens when people become apathetic and non-caring about their student government. Last semester, during MajorMinor elections, by coincidence I happened to come across the Elections Committee while they were tabulating votes. At this time the committee consisted of Jan Bates, Teresa Ware, Becky Lee and Kathy Chase. I was asked to give my help in tabulating the votes and it soon became apparent to me that this committee had certain people that they wished would win certain offices and others that they hoped would not receive the standard fifty per cent plus one that is needed in order to win the election. Much to my dismay, the committee started critiquing several of the candidates and in particular one person who they were strongly opposed to winning office. As the discussion became more intense, the members of the committee started to moralize about the candidate in question and were being very judgemental as to how "bad" an officer he would be if elects. Shortly, the votes were tabulated and much to the committee members' surprise, the candidate had won by more than 100 votes over his closest opponent. At this point, the committee once again started to pass opinion and comment about the moral standard they felt the candidate did not possess. Soon the conversation evolved and one of the members suggested that instead of declaring the candidate a winner, that "it would be in the best interest of the College" to have a run-off election between two of the competing candidates. After more conversation on the nature of the election, the committee decided to call a run-off. The committee chairman said that she would go and talk to Dean Heintz and explain the situation in hopes that if a re-election was to take place that another candidate would win the office. By this time, I was clearly distressed because the candidate had most definitely won by more than the ten vote margin needed to call a run-off. Not only that, but the committee, at this point, had no idea that they were insulting and slandering a personal friend of mine who had decided to run for office due to my prompting of him to get involved in the student government. I could not tolerate what was happening any longer, and once I had gotten over my shock at the self imposed power of this committee I spoke up. I reminded them that their function here at the College was to only count the votes and declare winners, not to pick the winners at their choosing. I also reminded them that this was a College wide election with the students voting in who they thought best for the office. The decision was not the committee's to make even though they knew better than over 600 other voting students. Needless to say, the committee realized that I was not going to tolerate what they had tried to do. After a few moments of uncomfortable silence, the chairman of the committee decided to give the office back to the winner and not declare it a run-off. It does not end here however, and much to my horror, the committee then started to talk about the ways that "they could get the candidate out of office" since they had to declare him a winner. Talk soon began on how (Continued from Page 8) '

Advisory Committee Active On Campus
Ribbons And Lace By LAURA ALLEN Ribbons, lace, satin and chiffon were some of the components for the designs shown at the Spring Bridal show presented by the Longwood Home Economics Club. Styles by Joytime, Milady, and Jena were presented and narrated by consultants, Mrs. Wheat and Mrs. Angel, from Tiffany's in Petersburg, Virginia. The latest fashions in gowns for the Mother-of-the-Bride, bridesmaids and brides were presented. The first category shown was the gowns for the Mother-of-the-bride. These gowns were in soft pastels or vivid hues and would be a beautiful complement to any wedding. Many of these selections had soft fluid lines that were contrasted by more tailored looks in jackets. Any of the designs shown in this category would enhance that very special lady, the Mother-of-the-bride. Bridesmaids gowns were the second group shown and ranged from sassy to elegant as styles went from a handkerchief style street length dress to full length gowns. The colors for bridesmaids gowns included soft pastels of yellow, peach, and blue and darker vibrant hues of rich royal blue and sea foam green. Co-ordinating hats were also shown in this category and the consultants pointed out that these items are very popular at this time.

Fisher To Help Promote College By MINDY HIRSTH Boyd Fisher, an avid outdoorsman, is Longwood's new Admissions counselor. Baseball, golf, tennis, and jogging are at the top of his list of activities. Fisher also enjoys social activities and listening to "easy" music. Fisher graduated from lx>ckhaven State in Pennsylvania. While there, he lettered in baseball. Lockhaven, he said, is similar to Longwood, both are small colleges. Fisher received his masters degree in March, 1979 in Counseling Education and Student Personnel Services at Pennsylvania State University. He then taught health and P.E. for five and a half years and coached the track team at a secondary school in Pennsylvania. He was glad to come to Longwood; "Admissions work gives me a chance to utilize my graduate work."
Representing Longwood, processing and evaluating applications, and promoting the college are Fisher's principal jobs as Admissions Counselor. Since Longwood is expanding its admission's program, it's possible that Fisher will return to his native state, Pennsylvania, to do some advertising. He believes that one of the college's strong points is its size. The fact that Longwood is small enables students to be more involved in athletics and other activities. Fisher explains that "unlike other schools, Longwood is adding more sports, especially mens sports, while other schools are taking them away." Fisher finds Longwood friendly and cooperative. He enjoys the Farmville area. His only complaint involves the low number of restaurants. Being a bachelor, he enjoys eating out often.

By CHUCK COLE On Saturday night in the French Gymnasium, the Longwood Lancers faced a highly-touted Division II basketball team from the University of the District of Columbia (UDC). UDC had already knocked off the University of Maryland at Baltimore County, which was ranked in the top ten of Division II basketball. And for a while, it looked like the game would be tight like everyone expected as both teams swapped baskets in the early going. But, the Firebirds of UDC seemed to be intimidated by the hostile environment of French Gym. They had trouble playing within the confines of the court at first as Referee Sid Smith and Umpire Donny Vaden continually called a line violation on the visiting Firebirds. While the Firebirds were struggling, the Lancers were shifting into high gear. The Lancers fell behind the rebounding and scoring of Kenny Ford and Mike Wills who hit for 9 points and 8 points respectively in the first half. The Lancers shot poorly in the first half, canning only 11 of 27 shots from the floor for 41 per cent. Longwood held an 11 point advantage at the half with a 38-27
halftime score. The Lancers wasted no time in the second half as they continued to dominate the Firebirds. Longwood continued to add to their lead by making key steals and playing good defense which forced the Firebirds to turn the ball over to the Lancers. Kenny Ford led second half scorers with 11 points. He had 19 points for the game. Four other Lancers hit double figures, for the game. Shack Leonard scored 15 points in this final regular season game as a Lancer. Ron Orr (14 points), Joe Remar (13 points), and Mike Wills (10 points) round out the Lancers who scored in double figures. The Firebirds were led by Mike Daniels and Mike Roach with 14 points apiece. Steve Smith added 13 points in the losing cause. He alsQ grabbed 15 rebounds to win rebounding honors. The Firebirds were stunned by the Lancers. Their frustration was epitomized by two Joe Remar dunks off the fast break. UDC also held the ball for the final 1:22 to ensure that the Lancers wouldn't go over the century mark. Longwood won the game 95-66 to gain its 25th win of the season. The Lancers stand at 25-1, the Shack Leonard soars to the loop in one of his last home Photo by Hoke Curne second best record in all of appearances. college basketball.

Longwood entered their final home game February 19 after wins over George Mason and St. Mary's, and a loss to Virginia Tech. The Lancers sought revenge against Liberty Baptist's narrow 63-61 defeat in Lynchburg earlier in the season. Longwood proved to be the stronger team in the second go-round burning the Flames 79-63.

Soccer Workshop Scheduled A soccer coaching workshop will be held March 14 and 15 at Longwood College. Bill Killen, Director of Coaching Clinics for the National Soccer Coaching Association of America, will be the instructor. Killen is also the Director of Coaching Schools for the U. S. Soccer Federation and the Men's varsity coach at Old Dominion University. Attendance at all sessions will lead to an F coaching certificate. The workshop is only open to Health, Physical Education, and Recreation majors. Instruction sessions will be held Friday, March 14, from 7-10 p.m. in 106 Der Gymnasium and on Saturday, March 15, from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and 1-4 p.m. on Der

Kitty Hughes is the student director of the workshop. Registratk n is from February 25March6.
Ruggers Begin With A Win Last Saturday was a beautiful day for rugby, and the Longwood Ruggers did their best to play beautiful rugby as they faced Virginia Commonwealth for the second time. The match was a payback fixture, as they lost to' V.C.U. last year. The game, refereed by a Referee Society official, demonstrated how much Longwood has learned in their three season existence. The game was relatively physical as the Longwood scrummers controlled the ball all day by pushing the V.C.U. scrum all over the field. The L.C. backers did their best to support. The first "try" of the game was by one of the V.C.U. players, who missed the conversion and left the score at 4 to 0. The Longwood ruggers came back and Henry Bear, the leftside winger, (Continuedon Page8)
Ixmgwood controlled the game from beginning to end. Senior Mary jane Smith had 21 points for the Lancers in her final home game. Brenda Fettrow contributed 17 points and Cindy Eckel 14 points in the excellent shooting game. It was a different story as the Lancers faced two strong DC teams later last week. Thursday, Longwood fell to University of DC 66-44. During the first half, the Lancers lost ground early to the DC Firebirds, who ran up a 25-8 lead. At the half the score stood at 38-22. Again Smith led the attack with 19 points. Amy Gates was the Lancers' strength under the board with 20 rebounds. Saturday the Lancers did not fare any better against the Catholic University Cardinals, taking a 70-54 beating. Longwood's offense did not really click the entire game. Smith was the only Lancer in double figures with 10 points. She also pulled down seven rebounds. Fettrow followed with 9 points and 9 rebounds. The Lady Lancers closed their regular season play with a 10-17 overall record, 3-1 in the conference. Thursday at 12 noon the fifth ranked Lancers will meet fourth ranked Hampton Institute (4-3 conference) in the VAIAW Division II state basketball championship at William and Mary. In other first round action, first seed Radford (6-1) will play eighth ranked Richmond (0-7), second seed VCU (6-1) Is against seventh seed Liberty Baptist (25) and third seed William and Mary plays sixth seed George Mason (3-4).

Hughes, Grimm Play Last Home Game By DEBBIE NORTHERN Neither Kitty Hughes Annandalei nor Lori Grimm (Arlington) have set any school records or been a "star" during their Longwood careers as cagers, but the two seniors have played major supportive roles. Wednesday marks the final home game that Hughes, Grimm, and fellow senior Maryjane Smith (Pamplin) will play for Longwood. Kitty, a 5-7 forward, began playing for the Lancer jayvee team her freshman year. After this stint on the second team, she moved up to varsity. Lori, a 5-2 guard, took to the court her sophomore year as a second team player and has been playing varsity for the last two seasons. "I try to do my best, but I'm not really a starter," said Kitty. "It's hard to come off the bench cold and work into the offense. Since I'm not that tall, I have to be sure to get position under the boards and hope the refs call a foul on my opponents." Her strategy of trying to draw fouls has often paid off for the I^ancers as Kitty is 10 for 10 from the foul line this season. After sophomore guard Connie
LORI GRIMM Murray was injured in January, Lori became a starter for the Lancers. She says she tries to keep the tempo of the game under control, but really enjoys running the fast break. "My shot is sometimes hot and sometimes cold. This slows me down," said Lori. "My main objective is to get team morale up."
Both Kitty and Lori have noticed changes in team attitudes throughout their years on the squad. The seniors would like to see the bench do more cheering for their teammates. "When I first came here I could tell a lot of the other teams we played bickered constantly. I thought this was terrible. Now I see it happen sometimes on our team and I don't want to see it happening to us," said Kitty. "I think the people on the bench need to be supportive." This year has been a rough one for the Lancers as they have worked on coordinating their young team. "I think our playing has improved during the second semester," said Lori. "We are not giving up, even though we've lost some close games. It is a young team. It should develop through hard work and dedication." Both players agree that a lot of talented athletes have played for Longwood over the years. They cited 1977 graduates Sue Rama (who scored over 1,000 career points), Anita Stowe, and Linda Baumler. Currently, they think
Mike Wills: The Duke Of 'Dunks9' By BETH LICARI The basketball is loose. A I>ancer grabs it and passes it to Number 54 as the fans scream their delight. Number 54 hustles down the court and takes a flying jump at the basket. The only play that could follow is...A THUNDER DUNK! The one player on the men's varsity team that just itches for a dunk is none other than Number 54, Mike "Dunkin Donut" Wills. The 6-6, 200 pound freshman center comes to Longwood from St. Albany, NY. where Coach Bash contacted him from Stony Brook (NY). Dunkin visited longwood last March and liked the college right away. "I couldn't get over how friendly everybody was," says Dunkin. "I couldn't find that in New York." During his years at Forest Hills (NY), Dunkin got recognition as high rebounder for two years, high shot blocker for two years, second high scorer for his junior year, and high scorer for his senior year. Dunkin was also honored as all-city, all Queens, all-division, and during his junior year he received the honor of starting at center for the New York Champion team. Dunkin was missing from the line up for a while because of many disputes with Coach Bash about Dunkin's attitude about his low playing time. As Bash's and Dunkin's temper rose, Bash
suspended him from the team. Dunkin commented on his attitude saying, "It's hard coming onto a college team and sitting on the bench after being a starter in high school. I wanted to contribute more to the team." After being suspended, Dunkin went to his teammate and good friend Jim "Thrill" Sixsmith for advice. Thrill gave Dunkin the advice to apologize to the coaches and Dunkin did just that. After talking, Bash decided to leave the decision of Dunkin returning to the team up to his teammates. The team spoke highly of Dunkin and Bash decided to bring Dunkin back into practice but he'd have to wait until the time was right until Dunkin could dress out for a game. Dunkin pushed hard during practice with Thrill on his heels. Dunkin dressed for his first game a few weeks later, but no one noticed him until his smashing come-back during the Southeastern (DC) game on February 9. During that game Dunkin snatched 2 rebounds scored 13 points, and if you were there you would remember the "Thunder Dunks" that Dunkin slammed twice during the game. Dunkin is a big factor on the team now and he's contributing more to the team than ever. Dunkin states, "Even off the team I supported every game, but it's good to be back."
Dunkin's attitude of his game has changed. He now believes the way he's going to succeed is "to do what Bash wants me to do," said Dunkin. Dunkin takes his friendship with Thrill very seriously. "We push each other," says Dunkin, "we give each other confidence." Dunkin believes in Thrill's ability to play. "Thrill is a good play maker and outside shooter. Whenever he takes a shot I start running down court to play defense," says Dunkin, "because I know he's going to make it. I think of him as the white Lloyd Free." Dunkin believes that Thrill has (Continued on Page 8)
Chambers Takes First By KATHY CHASE Friday, February 15 was the day of the first intercollegiate Horse Show of the Spring Semester. The show was held at the Barracks Stable in Charlottesville, sponsored by the University of Virginia. Shannon Chambers gave an outstanding performance in her Novice Equitation over Fences Class and consequently won a 1st place ribbon and trophy. Robyn Walker also did well in her class and won a 6th place ribbon in Novice Equitation Over Fences. Janet Young, in her first show since she moved to the Advanced Walk, Trot, Canter class, won a 5th place ribbon. The high point riders for this show were Shannon Chambers and Kathy Chase in Novice Equitation on the flat, Robyn Walker in Novice Equitation Over Fences and Erika Cristea and Karla Weber in Advanced Walk, Trot, Canter. The next show is on March 20. It will be co-sponsored between Mary Washington College and Ixmgwood. The show will be held at Hazelwild Farm in â&#x20AC;˘Yedericksburg.
KITTY HUGHES Maryjane Smith, who recently became the second Lancer to have over 1,000 career points, and Brenda Fettrow are top-notch players. It was the team with Rama, Stowe, and Baumler as its backbone that gave Kitty her greatest highlight at Ixmgwood. "The best game possible was when Longwood beat ODU 64-60
my freshman year. I was keeping stats and screaming my head off," Kitty said. After the success of the team in past years faded, fan support has also dropped off. "Fan support has increased three or four times from last year," said Kitty. "People who I don't even know come up to me and say congratulations." "I think fan support will improve with the new gym," said Lori. "It will also help team morale by giving them pride in their facilities." The two players both have enjoyed their years on the squad and have learned a lot about the game of basketball and about sportsmanship. They both say they can apply what they have learned to their careers as coaches. "It's hard to believe it has been four years," they both exclaimed. Even though they are anxious to get out into the world, they both will miss their teammates and friends at Longwood. Kitty and Lori plan to support the team in the future and will often be seen in the new gym to cheer the I^ady lancers on.
Orr Week's Top Cager Freshman center Ron Orr (Elizabeth, NJ) hit an amazing 14 of 17 field goal attempts in two games last week while scoring 28 points. Longwood coaches have tabbed the 6-6 cager as McDonald's Player of the Week for the two performances. A starter for much of the season, Orr came off the bench to score 14 points in the Lancers' 8567 victory over Emory & Henry Monday and 95-66 triumph over University of District of Columbia Saturday night. The wins boosted Longwood to a 25-1 count for the regular season. One of three I^ancer players who calls Elizabeth, New Jersey home (guards Joe Remar and Joe Goydish are the other two), Orr is averaging 8.7 points and five rebounds per game while hitting over 63 per cent of his shots from the floor. The firstyear eager has played key roles in several Longwood victories. Ron averaged 12 points and 10 rebounds per game last season, playing on the Elizabeth High School team with Remar. This year, Orr and Remar have helped IiOngwood attain its first national ranking in history. Currently rated 15th, the Lancers have been selected for the NCAA Division III top 15 each week the poll has
RON ORR been compiled. Assistant Coach Mo Schoepfer says Orr has made tremendous strides since the beginning of the season. "Ron has improved steadily since we began practice in October," said Schoepfer. "He has worked very hard, and thic hard work has enabled him to make the transition from high school to college basketball pretty smoothly."
Volunteer Action On The Go By SUSAN BUTUN Believe it or not, there are still people who give up their spare time to help others not as fortunate as themselves. Cle Everett, who serves as the chairman of the fund raising campaign headquartered at the WPAK radio station, is one of these people. Longwood students Larry Williams, Mike Owens, Tom Cole, and Chuck Cole all know about PAK-15 and Friends because they also donate their
spare time to see that each project is carried out. These projects aid the needy and have been very successful. In their most recent campaign, PAK-15 and Friends raised enough money to send Annette Anderson, a blind athlete from Cumberland County, to the Blind Olympics. The funds were raised in past from the WPAK basketball team, which plays benefit games with area organizations. i Continued on Page 8)

(Continued from Page 7) On Tuesday, February 19, the "PAK-ATTACK" played the Farmville Jaycees in a benefit game. Jim O'Hara, Sports Editor of the Farmville Herald, led the opposition. The proceeds went to aid Annette and her coach Kempie Tilerson. The Jaycees led by as much as ten points in the first quarter, but PAK-15 had yet to release their brutal attack. Coming from behind, the PAK-Attack scored bucket after bucket with quick steals and a lightening fast break. Team rebounding and pressure defense powered the PAK-Attack to a 5644 halftime lead. They continued the pressure and pulled out a 104-92 victory behind Mike Owens' 33 points and 22 rebounds. Larry Williams added 22 points to aid the victory. Faculty members of Prince Edward and Cumberland High Schools, the Jaycees, WPAK, WSVS in Crewe, as well as 16 other organizations form the Benefit League. The league was formed this fall to specifically help needy people. Many people have benefitted from this project. The committee has provided many needy families with stoves, clothing, groceries, and food. In addition, they have provided services for the handicapped such as care and aided in paying their medical bills. This Thursday night, the PAKAttack takes on the Dribbing DJ's of WSVS. The proceeds will be donated to the MuscularDystrophy Association. Gametime is 8:30. The volunteer program has no pressures or boundary lines.

Ruggers (Continued from Page 6) scampered into the try zone for L.C.'s first score of their spring season. The conversion was missed and the half ended with a score of four apiece. The second half saw more dominating scrum activity, and three or four close calls as the Longwood club kept the ball near the V.C.U. try line for most of the half. With two minutes remaining, the scrum pushed the ball down close, where Wilson "Beef" White picked it up to ramble into the zone and scored. The game remained at 8-4 as Longwood held onto the ball, ticking the seconds away. The B-side for Ixmgwood was very impressive in their first match ever. They lost, though, 186 in a down pour. The party was won by the Longwood Ruggers. Mike Willis (Continued from Page 7) a lot to prove to everyone just as Dunkin did during the Southern (DC) game if Thrill were given a chance. Dunkin is an active outgoing student at Longwood. He's majoring in Business Administration, but his real future is centered on being a radio disc jockey. He has a special love for music and being a DJ fits his personality. Besides basketball, Dunkin is a member of the new active social group, OMEGA OUTA STATERS. Dunkin also works as a DJ at a disco outside of Farmville.
Debate Tournament (Continued from Page 2) The tournament was directed by LB. Dent, the director of Student Activities; Mrs. Nancy Anderson, of the Department of Speech and Dramatic Arts; and the members of the Forensic and Debate Class. A Regional Debate Tournament is being held on campus today.

To Miss Mamie, The Friend Life is sweeter, stronger, fuller, more gracious thing for the friend's existance, whether he be near or far. If the friend is close at hand, that is best; but if he is far away he is still there to think of, to wonder about, to hear from, to write to, to share life and experience with, to honor, to admire, to love, (copied) P.S. Thanks for the Valentine's message! Love, Miss Emily
