Student Wages Increase By MELODY CRAWLEY Marvin Ragland announced Thursday an increase in student work study wages. The announcement was made at a meeting with work study supervisors. As of October 1, 1980, all work study students will be paid minimum wage ($3.10 hourly ) The change was made due to the Educational Ammendment which now govern colleges to pay minimum wage to students. Before this time, the dining hall workers and Student Auxiliary Police were the only work study students to receive
minimum wage. The change in the ammendment means that a student will receive the same amount of money, but work less hours, according to Ragland. Benjamin H. Johnson, Director of Accounts Payable, gave the supervisors a formula to figure out student hours. When a student picks up their November check, they will receive two checks. One check will pay the 20 cents per hour increase for October. The other check will be for November with the increase included.

Craft Lectures On Sin By JODIKERSEY On December 1, Dr. Carolyn Craft, Professor of English, gave a Departmental Seminar at the Alumni House entitled "The Usefulness of Sin: the Case of I^ncelot a"nd Gdinivere". The lecture, based on the version by "Jhomas Mallory, was attended by a small appreciative group. The lecture was intriquing not only because of the information revealed about I^ncelot and Guinivere, but the thoughtprovoking themes that were emcompassed irt*the story by Dr. Craft. The lecture concerned the paradox of heightened spiritual perception through sin, thereby creating a usefulness and need for sin. Dr. Craft explained how I^ncelot had to turn to evil and learn to be a sinner in order to achieve sainthood. "Only through the knowledge of passionate sin", Continued Dr. Craft, "could he obtain self-confidence in life through passionate love of God". This paradox can be compared tc the crucifixion of Christ which brought redemption. The lecture's interesting theme considered the paradox that out of evil comes love"Lancelot lacked spiritual perception", said Dr. Craft, "because his understanding oi love centered around worship, reward, and punishment — not relationship and sharing". I<ancelot's description of sin was a lack of freedom, explained Dr. (raft. He lacked steadfastness, faithfulness and constancy to Guinivere and to God.
Mallory's concept of sin was not necessarily discreet action. Mail is constantly engaged in contemplation of the degree of a sin, Mallory believed, when God thinks of them all the same. Dr. Craft continued, "Lancelot realizes that he could commit mortal sin as he has an adulterous affair with Guinivere, but believes that every man should bear his own burden and put all trust in God".

Val had an additional honor bestowed upon her this past week. Here class elected her as this year's Madonna. "I was SHOCKED! I'm proud and happy, but I feel that both of the other candidates, especially my roommate Robyn Black, portrayed the characteristics of the Madonna as well, if not better, than myself." When asked what her predictions were for longwood in the year 1990, Val named quite a few ideas. "The male-female population will probably be 50-50. Academics will become harder and pinch down on the students a little more than they do now. Admission requirements will be toueher. Because of the gym, sports will play a larger role in Longwood life. And many changes, including traditions, will come about to meet the growing needs of the students of Longwood." "However, the biggest situation I'd like to see changed is the fact that the achieving student is many times separated from the average student, not only grade-wise, but in all aspects of the college community. The average student makes up the greater bulk majority of this campus, but rarely is the average student given that pat on the back. The average student goes unrecognized, which adds to that wave of apathy that is so evident sometimes on this campus. This situation must be changed in order for all to take advantage of everything a college can offer.

The third and final film in the 1980-81 Anthropology Film Series will be shown Wednesday evening, December 10, at 7:30 p.m. in Bedford Auditorium. The film is entitled Dead Birds and is a film study of inter-tribal warfare in contemporary New Guinea. Dead Birds is a study of the Gugum Dani people, a tribal society of several thousand people who live on the island of
New Guinea in the Pacific Ocean. The Dugum Dani think of themselves as birds; the greatest honor, and the focus of everyday life, among these people is the killing of a child or woman or man from an enemy village. Dead Birds shows this daily warfare among the Dugum Dani and the important ceremonies which follow the killing of an enemy villager. All films in the Anthropology Film Series are free.

Opportunity knocks ... Do I have to answer? This is a question I pondered over two years ago when I was asked to take the position of co-editor of this newspaper and last year when I stepped up to editor-in-chief. For me it was a very important question. It gave me not only a chance to know people associated with every phase of Longwood College, but it gave me some very valuable experience in a field which I hope to make my career. I am grateful to everyone for all the help I have received. The job of editor is not an easy one, but with the help of the Public Affairs Office, Sports Information, President Willett, my roommate, The Fannvtlle Herald, Student Union, and my professors who understood when I needed to leave class to go to a board meeting, I made it through. Most important were those special people on my staff that guided me through it all. I have made some mistakes! I have no excuse for them, but to say that this was a learning experience, and I have learned. Yes, Opportunity Knocks ... Do you have to answer? College life is full of opportunity. It may not always jump up in your face, but it's not hard to find either. It may be in the form of a Student Government job, helping with Student Union, joining a fraternity or sorority, or getting a work study job. Your goals and your aspirations will help you find opportunity .. .do not turn it away! Jodi Kersey is the new editor of The Rotunda. There will be a need for reporters and photographers next semester. Opportunity knocks for you to get involved with the student newspaper... Will you answer?
Ladyhouse Blues Review By NEIL SAWYER This last week, the Longwood Players and the Department of Speech and Dramatic Arts presented "Lady House Blues", a play by Kevin O'Morrison. "Lady House Blues" was set in 1919 and dealt with the lives of five women during World War I but, beyond that the play centered on the slow deterioration of a family waiting for their men to return from war. The cast consisted of Rita Howe as the mother, Liz and her four daughters played by Robyn Reynolds, Gwendolyn Sublett, Tamara Nash and Tracey Rice. An excellent job was done by the entire cast and a particularily shining performance was given by Ms. Howe whose confident stage presence dominated the play from the moment she walked on stage.
Under the direction of Dr. Douglas Young the cast worked as a tight unit which well reflected the closeness of the family. Credit must also be given to Richard Gamble for his excellent stage design and the whole of the backstage crews headed by Jeff Sledjeski. Despite the excellent performance the play had a slight flaw which cannot be attributed to either director or actors. The play though very intense tends to loose its direction in a few scenes. Emotional interaction levels between the players often seemed to change too quickly and appeared unwarranted. The end result of this was that the viewer was left confused as to what the playwright was aiming to portray. Yet even with its slight problems "Lady House Blues" came off a success.
Tree Remains Important Tradition "It's the first sign of Christmas at Longwood!" "It brings the Christmas spirit to us all!" "It brings CHI bells and elves, too!" All of these are statements made about the huge Christmas tree that always goes up in the Rotunda the week after Christmas. It is a Longwood tradition that has been around for' over 25 years and will probably' outlast many of the other traditions. This year the 25 foot high tree was placed in the Rotunda by the maintenance crew last Tuesday and, contrary to popular belief,
the tree was brought in through the front door and not lowered through the dome of the Rotunda. The search for this year's tree began before the Thanksgiving break. In past years the tree had been cut on the property of Mrs. June Ellington; however, Mrs. Ellington sold her property last year. This year, the huge tree was found on 700 acres of land South of Farmville, belonging to Mrs. Jackie Wall, Mrs. Wall is director of Art at Campus School. Past Freshman Class Presidents, Linda Paschall, Duke Rollins, and John Todd, accompanied Dean I,eo Salters and the 1980 Freshman class

Approximately five feet had to be cut off of the original tree so that it could be transported back to school. It was then treated with flameretardent before being put up for the elves to decorate on Tuesday. The tree with all its Christmas gaila will remain in the Rotunda until the end of exams.

Player Of Week
By LISA SPENCER After suffering two losses Cindy Eckel, who scored 33 Friday to James Madison and points in 63-61 triumph over Slippery Rock, the Longwood
gymnasts will be looking for a win against Virginia tonight. The team has been plagued with injuries and illnesses so far this season, but Coach Ruth Budd is expecting a good meet against Virginia. The meet, which will be leld in Lancer Hall at 7 p.m., should help bolster the team's confidence after Friday's defeat. Slippery Rock took first place in the tri-meet with a team score of 119.85. James Madison was second with 117.15, and Longwood finished third with 110.80. Despite the fact that the Lady Lancers were defeated, Coach Budd feels that the team competed well. "The scores did not represent the performances as well as they should have," she said. Longwood did have three gymnasts who placed in the meet. Sharon Pillow scored at 7.25 in the beam for a third place finish. Freshman Monica Chandler also had a third place finish in the floor exercise. Kathy Idelson was sixth in the allaround competition. "We're looking forward to a better meet than before against Virginia," stated Budd. "We've had a lot of trouble this season, but having a meet at home will really help the team."

All-Stars All-time leading scorer Gus Leal and standout junior Dana Gregg are members of AllVirginia Intercollegiate Soccer Association Central Division team for 1980, giving longwood two representatives on the 11man all-star squad. The All-Visa team was chosen last week by vote of the league coaches. Leal and Gregg will play for the VISA Eastern All-Star team in the VISA All-Star game December 7 at Averett College in Danville. Leal was also chosen for the all-star tilt a year ago. Gregg is in his first year with the Lancer program after transferring from Wilmington College in Cincinnati. A sophomore forward, Leal scored 16 goals and had two assists in leading Longwood to a 9-7 record this season, the lancers' first winning record in history. With 18 career goals, Gus ranks as Longwood's all-time leading scorer. He was a tricaptain for 1980. Gregg, a back, was a key factor in longwood's successful season as he scored nine goals and had one assist. Noted for his aggressive play, Dana was a sparkplug for Longwood throughout the season. "Both Gus and Dane deserve this honor," said Coach Rich Posipanko.
Men's Basketball ByJOHNTODD Thanksgiving break was not a happy time for Coach Bash and his longwood I^ancers basketball team. The I^ancers played 3 games and lost 2 of them. The I oncers started off by visiting Salem College in West Virginia. Many of you should remember this is the team that ruined Longwood's unbeaten regular season record last year. Salem defeated Longwood for the second year in a row by 1 point. The final score was 70-69. During the course of the game, the lancers didn't shoot well and this was a factor in their defeat. Longwood then traveled to Augusta, GA to play in a tournament there. The I^ancers won the first game against Piedmont College 96-76. The I^ancers faced Voorhees College for the championship and lost 5251 on a last second tip in by Voorhees. Jerome Kersey and Joe Remar were both named to the AllTournament team. This week end Longwood College sponsored the Second Annual Longwood College Basketball Tournament. The teams were longwood. Liberty Baptist, Southeastern of Washington, D.C., and Friendship College of South Carolina. The Lancers were defending champions of the tournament. longwood faced Southeastern in the first round of the tournament. Superb play by all the I^ancers enabled them to trounce Southeastern 100-63. This was a total team victory with each of the players scoring at least two points. Some of the individual high points were Ron Orr's team leading 22 points. Jerome Kersey, Thomas Alston, and Jim Sixsmith also scored in double figures with 17, 14, and 10 points respectively. Big man Albert Jay led the team in rebounds with 12 while Kersey was second with 9. While longwood was trouncing Southeastern, Liberty Baptist was struggling to defeat Friendship. This set the championship game between longwood and Liberty Baptist. longwood started the game off fast by playing aggressively on defense. The lancers shot poorly but used good passing to open up a 36-23 halftime lead. At the beginning of the second half, Ixmgwood looked as if they might blow Liberty Baptist out of the gym. The Flames then pulled a half-court press that flustered the lancers for a while. To go along with the aggressive defense, the Flames became hot on offense, throwing shots up from anywhere on the court and making them. longwood's lead was cut to four points and things didn't look good for the lancers because two key players, Kersey and Remar, had fouled out. Coach Bash instructed his team to be more patient and work the ball in to the big men. Orr responded with a basket and two foul shots, strengthening longwood's lead to 8. Anytime the Flames came close, center Albert Jay would hit a key shot, longwood won the game by a score of 69-59. Several lancers played an excellent game. Sophomore Ron Orr led the team in scoring with 18 points and rebounds with 13. Jim Sixsmith had 12 points and shot 75 per cent from the floor. Albert Jay had 11 points and Jerome Kersey with 10 rebounds and were both dominant forces.
