Archeological Dig Proposes Questions By JODI KERSEY A small piece of glass is accidentally broken and Bob Flippen, the glass expert, quickly studies the pieces to make sure it was not an extremely important artifact. Dr. Jordan checks on the verdict and assures the guilty foot that it won't have to be sacrificed! Every object scraped out of the ground may be a major discovery for Dr. James Jordan and the students of Archeology accompanying him on a dig at Hampden-Sydney. The site of interest is the small building located at the back of the President's home at Middlecourt. Mrs. Josiah Bunting, wife of Hampden-Sydney's President, contacted Dr. Jordan at Longwood when she discovered there might be historical artifacts of value located in a small cabin which is considered to be a slave cabin built around 1829. The suspicion was aroused, when workmen who had been hired to renovate the cabin for a guest house found piles of old bottles located under two floors of

He added that the dig was only possible through the

cooperation of Hampden-Sydney and the body of people that were experienced in Archeology. Many of the students participating are those who assisted Dr. Jordan last summer at Anna's Ridge in Cumberland County. During the preliminary digging, objects that were found were such things as chicken and frog bones which relate to African customs. Shells, buttons, various pieces of glass, pipes and many other objects were excavated. The dig is especially interesting because of the idiosyncrasy that has arisen in the original room of the cabin. All concern has now been placed on this room instead of all three rooms of the building. This puzzle is not in conflicting dates of artifacts, but the unusualness of the brick feature in the floor. The students have dug the floor deep enough to clearly distinguish three separate brick pits with a walkway in between. This walkway extends to the window which used to be a door. Dr. Jordan is very eager to continue the dig to try to establish a legitimate reason why this room would have the brick pits. A possible hypothesis suggested by t)r. Jordan is that this particular room was used for heating water for a wash room or a butcher's house. About two hundred pieces of quartz were also excavated which suggests that these were heated and then thrown into the water to make it boil. Another possible hypothesis is that these three brick features are actually three separate rooms or compartments for sleeping with the walkway leading to the former door. Another ticky feature that complicates the research is that arrowheads and small scrapers which would have been used for hides were excavated two and a half feet below the original clay floor. The cabin could be located
Dr. Jordan and the students have centered their attention on the original room of the cabin. on a pre-historic Indian site. The time limit has been extended to include one more day of excavation in the original room of the slave cabin. The many questions concerning the cabin will be further considered as Dr. Jordan and his crew return this Thursday to continue their dig.

Senior Spotlight
Commentary Dear Editor: There is something very disturbing happening on I>ongwood's campus. I am happy to see students showing their concern for something that they feel is a good cause. What I'm referring to is the food fast scheduled for Wednesday. This sounds like a good idea the way it is presented. But how many of you have really taken a good hard look at it. There is an article in last Thurday's Wall Street Journal, concerning food aid. Although it does not use African countries as an example, it does point to other similar countries where we have
given food aid and the starving people weren't helped one bit. The money and food sent to these countries goes to the governments and the middle class. I don't think there is anyone at longwood who could prove to me that the money sent as a result of Wednesday's food fast would put one morsel of food in a starving person's mouth. Another aspect of this to look at is if we are able to feed these people is it really going to help them. It has been proven in countries like India that if you feed them they get stronger. If they get stronger they make more babies. If they make more babies then they can't feed themselves again. This
Letters Program Congratulated Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank and congratulate the Therapeutic Recreation Organization of I>ongwood College as well as the various sororities and fraternities on campus who volunteered many hours of their time to make last week end a spectacular success for the disabled citizens of Farmville, Virginia as well as the disabled students of I>ongwood College. In this, The International Year of the Disabled, it is very important for us to begin to focus in on the capabilities, desire, and needs of our disabled citizens, which are not much different than our own. In one weekend, the Longwood College campus saw a well organized Special Olympics program for the retarded citizens in our community, as well as a competitive wheelchair basketball game, organized to raise funds to send the
competitive disabled athletes from Longwood College to regional and national competitions for the physically disabled. I would also like to commend both Stacie Southwick and Kelly Reeves for their numerous hours spent in organizing these two events. I hope that these events will become annual affairs on the Ix)ngwood College campus, and that they will receive the same warm response from the students, faculty and staff as they did this year. In conclusion, I hope that our concerns and efforts to break down architectural and additudinal barriers toward the disabled did not cease at the end of these events, and that we will consciously make an effort to focus in on the ability of all individuals and not the disability. Sincerely Frank M. Brasile
Class Of 1981 May you always remember those glorious moments of acquiring your education, not the pitfalls along the way. You learned so much at Ix)ngwood. Your days were full of new experiences. Your grades weren't easy to come by, but you've made it. And your
graduation has come at last. So step forward with pride and assurance. And may you find success, happiness and great personal fulfillment in all that you will do. With much love, The Sophomore Class

1981 Gyre Literary Festival By JACQLLINE BURTON Longwood's Literary publication, THE GYRE, is sponsoring its annual liter- ry festival. Several events were scheduled to occur during a week-long period for this year's festival. THE GYRE commenced its 1981 Literary Festival Tuesday, April 14, with a short fiction reading given by Dr. Maurice Duke at 3:30 p.m. in Bedford Auditorium. Dr. Duke is a professor of American literature at Virginia Commonwealth University, a book-editor for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and a writer of short stories. Dr. Duke read four short stories, the inspirations for which were drawn extensively from his personal experiences and curiosities in everyday living. The first of these, "Editor's Choice," is the story of a softhearted magazine editor who is approached by one of the countless "literary widows" who is trying to have printed a poem written by her late husband. "Hide and Go Seek." the second
story Dr. Duke read, is a surrealistic story of a man hallucinating while sailing alone at sea. The third story, "To Grandmother's House," deals with the psychological anguish of a young Vietnam Veteran in search of the truth concerning his grandmother's insanity—an illness he feels he may have inherited. The final story, "An Act of Contrition," is the ironic account of a crippled man who risks his own life in order to kill his dying brother before he can pray for redemption and die of natural causes. The second event of the Gyre festival was a poetry reading by Tom O'Grady on Thursday, April 16, at 7:30 p.m. in Bedford Auditorium. Mr. O'Grady teaches at Hampden-Sydney College and is editor of the HAMPDEN-SYDNEY POETRY REVIEW. He has published two collections of poems, one of which has been translated into French. Mr. O'Grady, who calls his books "books of forms," agrees with the opinion that form
contains meaning. The form of a poem is dictated by what is being said and how it is being said. As well as explaining his theory of poetry, Mr. O'Grady read a number of poems from his FARMVILLE ELEGIES including: "Parade," "Sally Sitting on a Chestnut Mare," "Sitting Under a Picture of Robert E. Lee in a Little Bar Somewhere in the South of Virginia," "At the Phoenix Slaughterhouse," "Charlie in his Uniform, 1944," and several love lyrics among others. The next upcoming event of the literary festival will be a reading of original poetry on Wednesday, April 22, at 3:30 p.m. in Bedford Auditorium. The reading will feature the poems of Longwood faculty, students, and area residents. Also part of the 1981 Literary Festival is an exhibit of works by artists whose work will appear in THE GYRE this year. This exhibit is located on the second floor of the Bedford art building and is open to the public.

The Comedy Of Errors Review By JODI KERSEY And NEIL SAWYER If anyone attended "The Comedy of Errors" performed by The Ixmgwood Players expecting to see a typical Shakesperian fine arts dramatization, they didn't find it on stage in Jarman Auditorium from April 15th-18th. That is not to say, however, that attendance would have been wasted. Under the direction of Dr. Patton Lockwood, the liberally executed acting of the cast served to make the last play of the semester an extremely entertaining amateur production. The fatal flaw of the play was the lack of transition from character to actor. The transition which should have taken place between the setting up of the stage and the actual play did not seem to completely develop. Therefore, many of the veteran actors were playing their parts professionally while the great number of new comers insisted on being themselves, hamming on the stage instead of striving to be actors. This was the major disappointment in the play. The actors had a one to one rapport with the audience, but numerous occasions suggested laughing with the person, not the character.

Characters in this play who should be highlighted are Ross 4 Connor portraying Dromio of Syracuse and Sherry Forbes protraying Adriana. Connor succeeded on stage mainly through hamming much of the time instead of acting, but his presence on stage caught the total attention of the audience. Nevertheless, there were times when one was tempted to agree "Come, Dromio, these jests are out of season"! Sherry Forbes Forbes displayed a believable performance was as equally character as Adriana. The set for "The Comedy of intriguing in the play.

Art Historian Symposium By JOE JOHNSON The fourth annual symposium for Art Historians in the Virginia area was held on Friday, April 17, in Bedford Auditorium. Sponsored by the Ixmgwood Fine Arts Center and the Department of Art, "the symposium gave us a chance to meet new Art Historians, exchange ideas on class teaching procedures and research and even make new friends... it combined the social and professional" said Dr. Elisabeth Flynn. The day began with Richard C. Flint's lecture entitled "Punch's satire of Aubrey Beardsley." Dr. Flint is an instructor of Art History at Virginia Commonwealth University. Dr. Flint's paper focused on the distinctive spirit of Punch's (an English satirical journal) critical treatment of Beardsley and his art. His lecture was followed by Gerard Maurice Doyon's talk on "Why so few Women Artists in the History of French Art. Doyon is presently chairman of the Art Division and professor of Art History at the Washington and I/ee University. Doyon's lecture dealt with several critical questions concerning women's role in art. It was well illustrated with color slides. Although the subject was treated with lightness and humor, it leaves one with serious thoughts concerning the exclusion of French women as artists and the profusion of French women as subjects of that art. After a small break, Betsy Fahlam gave a lecture entitled "An American in Paris; the Art of Guy Pene'du Bois in the 1920's." Fahlam is an instructor for the Art Department at Old Dominion University. In her lecture Fahlam explained how Guy du Bois' art, as well as his life, reflected the internationalism of the period. Jerri Pike from the Virginia Polytechnical Institute gave a lecture entitled "Attic BlackFigure: A Vase, A Grafitto and a Workshop." Dr. Pikes talk had a three fold purpose: 1) to attribute the vase to its rightful workshop and painter, 2) to demonstrate how not only the style of the
figure—drawing, but also the shape of the vase and its floral decoration are support for the attribution, and 3) to discuss the subject matter of the vase which was Athena, Apollo and Dionysus. After lunch the symposium continued with Sharon G. Jones talk on "The Iconography of an American Relic: George Washington's Masonic Apr The lecture dealt with Washington's Masonic Apron which was an almost sacred cloth worn during the solemn rituals of A society known as Free Masonry Jones identified the main elements of Washington's Apron and compared them with other major works of art from the 18th and 19th century. Michael T. Gilliath then gave a lecture on "The Art Noveau Movement: Virginia's Contribution." He is now teaching at the Virginia State University in Petersburg. Gilliath's lecture dealt with the contribution of Ella lx)uthan to the short lived Art Noveau movement. He frequently surpasses the examples of the Art Noveau movement which are preserved in museums. Charles E. Sicillia gave his lecture on "I/eonardo. Ix>dorico, and the Mulbery." Sicillia is an educator at the Old Dominion University. The paper dealt with a comparison of I/eonardo Da Vinci's work and I-odorico's work and their use of the Mulbery tree as a decorative vegetation and a symbolic representation of their personal, political and dynastic ambitions. The final lecture was given by Kenneth A. White. The paper was entitled "The Urbanisn of Teotilancan." White gave a lecture on the culture of Mexican Middle America. The talk covered the earliest times of Circa 1500 B.C., up until the conquest in 1521. He also gave interesting details on the site of Teotilancan, it's urbanism, palaces, pottery and frescoes.

Sports Editor's Turn Once again, a controversial issue has come about that I feel needs to be addressed. That issue is immaturity; specifically on the part of former Basketball coach, Dr. Ron Bash. By now most of you have read the article in the Richmond Times Dispatch featuring Ron Bash. This article, in my estimation, should never have to cross the gaze of a civilized human being. This is only a way for a distraught cry-baby to dishonor IxMigwood College. The only analogy I can draw from the situation is the spoiled child who doesn't get his way, while playing with friends, who disgustedly grabs His bat and His ball and His glove and goes home depriving others of the pleasure of participating in a sporting event.
Actions such as those of Dr. Bash, certainly dishonor the name of the majority of coaches who really attempt to get along with others and treat their players as human beings, instead of using them as pawns in a nowin game of chess. If I sound as if I'm biased for Longwood, I am. I played softball with Dr. Bash this past summer and discovered what a real egotist he is. This overendorsement of ego is used as a weapon against those whom Dr. Bash has wrongly mistaken as his lessers. I have two final points. One, if I was Dr. Bash's next employer I would be careful of him attempting to also stab me in the back. Two, good-bye. Dr. Bash, and good riddance.
