Oktoberfest Features Lancer Hall Dedication

By SUSAN BUTLIN Oktoberfest is right around the corner and amidst all the fun, festive activities a special event will take place. Special? What's so different about this year's Oktoberfest, you say? Find out, Saturday, October 25, at 11 a.m.

— Watch an expected crowd of 3,000 people witness the dedication of I/)ngwnod's newest addition. Lancer Hall.

Four and a half million dollars went into the construction of lancer Hall. According to Nancy Shelton (chairman of the dedication committee), Lancer Hall will probably be the last state financed building on longwood's campus.

Other members seated on the dedication committee were: Dr. Shirley O'Neil, Dr. Carolyn Hodges, Hoke Currie, Dr. Lou-

ard Egbert, Roy Hill, T. C. Dalton, Dr. Ralph Hundley, Gordon Inge, Miss Penny Robinson, Dr. Carolyn Wells and Dr. Henry Willett, Jr. Together this committee sent out 16,000 invitations and organized the dedication ceremony.

ROTC members will present the color guard, the concert band will play the national anthem, and Tammy Byrd, president of the student body, will make the pledge to our flag. Reverend Hungate, father of student, Robin Hungate, will lead the invocation and benediction ceremonies.

Then the initial formalities will take place: Eric Robinson, Director of the Board of Visitors, will accept the building with the specification manual and keys from Macllroy and Parris (architects of Lancer Hall) and

'Barefoot In The Park" Superb Entertainment

By NEIL SAWYER Theatergoers this past week were in for a rare treat with the Drama Department's and Ixmgwood Player's production of Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park". Despite the fact that this was the first Longwood College production for several freshmen cast members and also the directorial debut for Drama Department faculty member Richard Gamble, the play went superbly. The cast deftly handled this engaging light comedy and received great support from a large, appreciative crowd.

Director Gamble chose to experiment in this play with a cabaret-style atmosphere seating the audience at tables on the stage, in close proximity with the actors. This intimacy greatly enhanced the interplay between audience and actor and added to the already strong crowd support.

The cast of the play was uniformly excellent, especially considering that only veteran performers Frank Creasy and

Jeff Sledjeski had acted in previous Longwood show.

Newcomers Sherry Forbes, Jerry Dagenhart, Myra Pierson and David Wood all made splendid Longwood dramatic debuts.

Sherry Forbes and Frank Creasy starred as Corns and Paul Bratter, the young couple whose rocky start at married life provides the focus of the play.

Jerry Dagenhart played Victor Valasco, the eccentrid neighbor.

Myra Pierson played Corrie's mother, Mrs. Banks. Jeff Sledjeski and David Wood had supporting roles as the Telephone repairman and the Delivery Man, respectively.

Praise is due to the crew of this play for their efficient work under conditions of limited space.

Richard Gamble, doubling as director and set designer, made sure the play went well under space conditions which could have detracted from the play.

Altogether, this fine collective effort ensured four evenings of good, lively entertainment for all those fortunate enough to attend.

Founder's Day. Secondly, is the building's name. Lancer Hall is the only building that was not named after a person known to Longwood's campus. The use of a sport symbol, the Lancer, was chosen by the student body, alumni and faculty members which the Board of Visitors approved in May 1980. The name is quite fitting since Lancer Hall will be used as the main athletic area. Also, this is the first year every alumni that graduated from Longwood has been asked to come which adds up to 13,000 people. Former board members and the foundation board members along with parents of current students, business From Sports Info Romeo Guest Co. representatives executives who contribute to the (builders of Lancer Hall). In college, representatives of turn, Mr. Robinson will turn over Hampden-Sydney College and the building to Dr. Willett. those of neighboring community Former governor Mills E. colleges were all invited. To add Godwin, will be the guest of honor to this already long list, all deans and will be the speaker for the and assistant deans of every single four year college and occasion.

Plans for Lancer Hall were approved in the 1960's and architectural blueprints were drawn up in the 1970's. Since Governor Godwin served from 1966-1970 and then again in 19741978, it was only fitting that he be the guest of honor since he was very instrumental in obtaining university in all of Virginia were the approval for Longwood's sent special invitations. Of bond referendum. The bond, for course, not everyone will come, three and a half million dollars, but a crowd is expected. Last, the was approved in November of times of many events had to be 1977, actual construction began moved either an hour up or back.

The promotional aspect of the in September of 1978 and in the late summer of 1980, Lancer Hall dedication also has some advantages. Guidance counselors was completed.

The biggest move, however, is Midway. For years Midway has taken place in front of the campus police parking lot. This year, Midway will be held in I<ankford parking lot. Because of this all cars must be moved Wednesday, October 22. The Art department is also moving their exhibit to Bedford. The nightly events such as: skits, cakecutting, and Oii-walk. will proceed according to tradition.

A special luncheon in honor of Governor Godwin will include dignitaries on campus and will take place after the dedication.

Later on that afternoon a "dedication cocktail buffet" for special guests and parents will conclude the memorable occasion.

Oktoberfest Weekend

Hopefully, each student will do his-her part.

Don't miss the dedication; it will probably be the only one you ever see at Longwood. Nancy Shelton stated about the dedication, "I hope the weather is good and we have good attendance from the student body as well as parents and alumni."

ARA's 25th Anniversary Automatic Retailers of America (ARA) will be celebrating their 25th Anniversary of service to Longwood College, October 30.

The service has been at the College since September, 1955.

In honor of this occasion, the ARA National Headquarters is serving an anniversary dinner for students, faculty, and staff.

Invitations have been sent to staff members who will attend.

According to Gordon Inge, faculty and staff have been invited on a certain schedule so that overcrowding can be avoided. The meal will be served family style from 5-7:30 p.m.

Students are asked to remember the extended hours.

Inge also emphasized that Members of the cast of Barefoot in the Park received standing student fees were not paying for ovations at several performances. »v ■"" Mort,>n this meal.

Longwood Pageant Still In Existence

ByMITZI MASON At the weekly meeting of Legislative Board before Fall Break, the subject of the Miss Ixmgwood Pageant arose when three young ladies presented the board with new plans for the future pageant. The three ladies have formed a new committee made up of a chairman, Betsy Clark; a director, Sharon Raunswinder; and a business manager, Debbie Cosby.

The committee feels that the major problem of the past pageants not being a total success was simply mismanagement. The fact that there has been no financial advisor in the past was included as one of the greater problems.

As Oktoberfest draws near, Klowns practice for their big night on Mismanagement in the area of Jarman Stage.

By Melody Crawley publicity caused very little interest among the student body.

Another problem included is that in the past there have been no co-

Egbert Trial Set

By PAM UPDIKE A trial date of March 31, 1981 has been set for the suit against IÂťngwood College and Dr. Lourd E. Egbert Jr. Sueing them are Oxford of England, Theodore Presser Co. of Bryn Mawr, Pa., and Novello and Co. of Kent England. These three plaintiffs are seeking $50,000 from each defendant in statuatory damages, plus costs, and injunctions to halt any future infringements. They charge that Egbert and the college copied music to which they own rights and passed these copies out to students, then later performed these musical works, without obtaining permission from the firms' in question.

Such songs as "Twelve Days of

Christmas," "Torches," "Here We Come A Wassailing," and "There Is No Rose of Such Virtue," are said to have been used.

The college will be represented

by Attorney General Marshall Coleman and private legal councils from Washington and New York. President Henry I. Willett stated, "I'm very impressed with the legal service that has been made available."

Dr. Egbert was not able to comment.

The attorneys have asked U.S. District Judge D. Dorch Warriner to dismiss the suit because the complaints allegedlyfailed to abide by all the provisions of the 1978 revised federal copyright law.

Woods To Write PBS Play

By CONNIE FALLON W.C. Woods, assistant professor of journalism here at Longwood has been commissioned to write a play for a new series to be broadcast on PBS. WNET-TV (Channel 13, New York) is commissioning American fiction writers to script original teleplays in an effort to reduce public television's dependence on the BBC for material. Writers presently at work on the project include such popular writers as John Cheever, Donald Barthelme and Isaac Bashevis Singer.

QUESTIONNAIRE FOR STUDENTS

signers for the checks. A major problem dealing with this was that the person who wrote the checks for prizes was to write them for only half of the amounts, and the longwood Foundation was to cover the other half with a check payable to Longwood College to go towards the girls' tuition.

The person in charge of writing checks wrote them for the full amounts of the prizes, therefore throwing the treasury into a financial bind. One course of money is the Longwood Foundation; and they will no longer assist the pageant. The committee also feels that the traditions of the college are fading fast and the pageant would just be another. The committee has many solutions to their past problems: 1) The biggest problem of mismanagement would be solved

dramatization of a novel by Ursula LeGuin. "Very good stuff". Woods called it, "Much better than being put to sleep by Alistair Cooke."

Woods, who free-lanced as a fiction writer and journalist for ten years before coming to Longwood in 1976, has had very little experience at screenwriting. "I spent the summer in Hollywood ten years ago playing tennis with Mario Puzo's secretary while she was supposed to be typing the script for The Godfather", he said.

"The screenplay I was working on ended up in the trashcan. I'm much more sanguine about this one." Woods' present attempt is based on an as-yet-unpublished long story called "Available Light" which he calls a meditation on comic books, flying saucers, domestic shadow boxing, and medieval thought."

The story also includes dinosaurs.

When asked what he will be paid for his story, Woods would only say that he's not placing any orders for a new Ferrari.

Anthropology Film Series The first film in the 1980-81 Anthropology Film Series will be shown Wednesday evening, October 22, at 7:30 p.m. in Bedford Auditorium. The film is entitled Rivers of Sand and is a study of the Hamer, an agricultural and herding culture of 15,000 people who live in the southern part of the country of Ethiopia in Eastern Africa.

The theme of Rivers of Sand is the exploitation and subjugation of women in the Hamer culture and the social price which men must pay in the unequal arrangement their culture demands between men and women. Among the Hamer, the men relax by tending their cattle, hunting, decorating themselves, and telling legends about their

exploits while the women are the farmers, preparers of food, tenders of children, and the performers of most of the useful tasks of everyday life.

The film Rivers of Sand was directed, photographed, and narrated by the world famous anthropological filmmaker, Robert Gardner.

All films in the Anthropology Film Series are free. A brief introduction to the film and to the Hamer people will be given before the film by Dr. James William Jordan, Associate Professor of Anthropology.

Students and faculty of Ixmgwood College and the general public are invited to attend the screening of this classic film in anthropology.

Simkins Lecture Given

By T.D. Young ByJODIKERSEY On Thursday, October 16th at 7:30 in the Wygal Building Auditorium, Dr. Thomas Daniel Young gave this year's first Francis Butler Simkins Lecture to a large audience of students and faculty.

Sound Gallery Conies Alive

By SHEILA GOLLHARDT This Friday and Saturday night. Oct. 24-25, Sound Gallery will be filled with the Texas music of Bill and Bonnie Hearne.

Some of you will remember them playing in the snack bar for a coffeehouse. Bill and Bonnie have been playing together since 1968.

This is their third performance here at Ixmgwood College.

Bonnie, who plays piano, works her electric magic with churchy chords left from her early gospel training, with echoes of Bessie Smith and Linda Ronstadt. Bill, who plays guitar, grew up listening to commercial country and western music. He has his own style of flat picking so to play rhythm and melody at the same time.

Bill and Bonnie have

performed at every Kerrville Folk Festival. They have opened for top artists such as John Denver, Doug Kershaw, The New Riders of the Purple Sage, Rusty Wier, plus many more. You will be astonished by the electric sound of Bonnie alone, and by Bill backing up. They now have a base player who played with them last year, around the end of November, for a coffeehouse.

Now they also have a drummer, which adds to their music as a whole.

The show is Friday and Saturday night of Oktoberfest week end It starts at 8:30 p.m. in the Red-White-Green rooms.

General admission is $1.00 w-ID so please come out and help Sound Gallery support OKTOBERFEST this year with BILL and BONNIE HEARNE.

Oktoberfest In Music

By PAM UPDIKE The Ixmgwood College Music Department will be extremely busy this Oktoberfest week end.

On Saturday morning, the Concert Band will perform at the Lancer Hall Dedication Services.

Under the direction of Dr. Harbaum, the band will play a March, an Overture and the Star Spangled Banner.

During lunch, from 12:30 until 1:15, the Jazz Band, directed by Allen Butler, a new full-time professor in the Music Department, will perform. The band will play a few of last year's favorites and some pure jazz selections.

Following lunch, the Concert Choir will perform in Jarman Auditorium from 1:30 until 2:15.

This will be a Pops concert featuring a medley from A Chorus Line. Concert Choir President Marjorie LeReau choreographed the show and there will be solos by several students.

At 2:30, the Concert Band will perform once again; this time on the Midway. They will feature several show tunes, German Music, and some light classical music. Concert Band President, Tom Sullivan commented that it is a "smaller band but, better quality this year."

A German Oom-pah band will be walking all over campus playing German polkas and waltzes. This Oktoberfest looks to be one filled with music!

Art Exhibit

By NEIL SAWYER October 19 through November 23, an impressive exhibit of paintings by Cordray Simmons and Lue Osborne is on display in the Bedford Gallery, and is sponsored by the Longwood Fine Arts Center.

Lue Osborne and Cordray Simmons were participants in New York City's art scene from the mid-1920's to about 1947.

Their interest was mainly in day to day life in America.

Maybe the most important fact about Lue Osborne and Cordray Simmons was that they pioneered what we know now as acrylic painting.

Through their

experimenting with formulas and techniques they laid the groundwork for many artists today who employ acrylics for more durable paintings.

One particular point of interest about the exhibit is that a student, Pamela Mayo, has been chosen to be Guest Curator. Pam is a senior Art History Major studying the work of Lue Osborne and Cordray Simmons in preparation for Honors paper.

This exhibition represents the preliminary steps towards the final honors paper.

Exhibit hours are during office hours weekdays and 2-6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

North Star Band Is Coming

By SUSAN BUTLIN Do the songs "Virginia," "You're the Reason," "Have You Seen Her," and "On the Road" ring any bells? They might after Oct. 26. To round out the Oktoberfest activities, SUN will set up the Sunday afternoon outdoor concert featuring the North Star Band. Admission is FREE and will be in Lankford Mall at 2 p.m.

According to the Washington Post, the North Star Band music is "... a progressive country style that freely incorporates tasteful touches of rock, Western swing, honky-tonk, and R & B." Maybe the five members of the band are so successful because of the individual versatality. Al Johnson formed and manages the group, he is the lead singer and plays the guitar; Lou Hagar plays the piano, clarinet and has studied music in college. Jim Robeson plays bass and sings.

Jim is an ex-DJ and owns his own recording studio: Paul Goldstein is on percussion, Jay Jessup plays the pedal steel and dolro, and is a back up singer. Jay also has experience with the bass, banjo and guitar. Each member of the group writes ,so almost all of their material is original.

Their other material is recreations of old songs with a new twist or new songs with an old blend.

The North Star Band is an east coast group and, "Tonight the North Star Band," is their debut album, consisting mostly of ballads and hard driving countryrock, bluegrass type songs. The

Tuesday, October 21, 1980

Mountain-Ear, Colorado paper said this about the group and album, "the album could be a sound-track to a movie shot on location in a roadside honky-tonk filled with desperados," and "this group features some of the best foot stomp'n country you could hope to hear."

Fairly a new group, this group deserves a chance to show Longwood what they have to offer. Let's give it to them. Enjoy the expected "nice" weather, sit around the Landford Mall and listen to the new sound.

Remember, October 26, 2 p.m., but most important — it doesn't cost you a thing.

By JOEJOHNSON Live from Longwood's Ixwer Dining Hall — it's Saturday Night. Hey, wait a minute ... it's not Saturday or even Friday night . . . heck, it's Thursday night. Well, it's also October 2, the beginning of fall break, so Saturday Night Alive with Rock Mountain was still aptly named.

And for all those "Southern Fried" rock fans from Ixmgwood, it was a night that would long be remembered.

Rock Mountain played once before at Ixmgwood and received an enthusiastic welcome. They were again eagerly awaited in the packed lower dining hall.

When walking in the dining hall, one got an almost sedate feeling of ease. The lighted candles on each table and the blacked out stage, coupled with the low murmuring of conversation, gave one a feeling of calmness tinged with the tension of expectation.

The night soon exploded in a kaleidoscope of music and bright lights as Rock Mountain played their first number, a song from their new album, which ended in a Freebird style, slam-jam, guitar twanging, drum-beating finish. Hard rock n' roll was their strong point, but they played many other songs which showed their whole range of talent.

The female vocalist, Patty Albigese, for the group seemed to dominate the stage with her clear strong vocals and easy pantomime movements. The lead guitarist, John Tyler, wearing a 1940 brimmed hat, and the other lead player (and Slideguitar), Howard Williams, got down to some skillful guitar picking which left the audience ecstatic. • The drummer, Jim Callaway, and the keyboard player, Ix>u Simmons, gave the group the needed balance to synthesize the band's dynamic sound. The bass player, Mike Robbins, also added to the background. Once he grabbed the spotlight with a terrific bass solo which left the audience exhausted from cheering.

They played such favorites as You're No Good; She's a Ix>t Like You; Just What I Needed; Weed, Whites and Wine; Rocksanne, You Got that Right, Ix;t It Run, Crazy Love; Kick it Out; plus a Grateful Dead medley and some songs from their new album.

All in all, it was a fantastic performance, topped only by the pyramids of beer cans left at the tables. So, if you like countryrock or maybe just good ol' rock n" roll, watch for Rock Mountain — they're definitely on the way un in the 80's.

Tracks will appear this Thursday night, Oct. 23. Saturday Night Alive! is presenting Tracks, a five piece high energy rock band from Richmond, Va. Their repertoire ranges from Super-tramp to the Stones including work by Tom Petty, Cheap Trick, Le Roux, The Cars, Led Zeppelin and originals. There will be limited admission. Tickets will be sold in the lankford student union office.

This week is one of the most important weeks on campus. You can probably tell why from all the articles in this week's newspaper, for there seems to be a reoccurring theme. In case you have not heard — This week end is Oktoberfest!

With Oktoberfest comes the traditional week end celebration. Headed by Geist, the entire student body seems to be getting involved.

A lot of changes are being made in Oktoberfest this year. It seems that there's a lot of moving around. In addition to the yearly activities, this Oktoberfest will have an added event. Longwood's new gymnasium complex will be dedicated.

This complex is the pride of some on campus. It provides Longwood with additional facilities for tennis, dancing, basketball and swimming, just to name a few. It will probably be the last building to be built on Longwood's campus in a long time because of State funding. (You can see this by taking a look at the College's Capitol Outlay plan. In this bienium, the College was turned down by the State to build a needed Fine Arts Center.)

For Oktoberfest, a lot of the activities will center around Lancer Hall in honor of it's dedication. Dance Company concerts will take place in the new dance studio; Catalina shows will take place in the new swimming pool (That is if the pool has finally been fixed. Yes, there have been some problems in that area); the biergarten will be on the patio of the complex.

In addition to this, Geist plans a New Midway. Students will be slightly inconvenienced by this move. Midway has taken over all of Lankford parking lot, so that means all the cars have to go. In fact, if there are any cars left at 12 noon, Wednesday, they will be towed.

All in all, this should be the biggest and best Oktoberfest. So, all of you suitcase college students — Leave your suitcases under the bed this week end and invite everyone to Longwood — We're going to have a celebration.

become involved with Oktoberfest. More people mean more competition in color rush and booths, and would help tremendously with the skits.

Other than that, everything is going very well. The people here are putting a lot of work into this Oktoberfest. That makes John and I work even harder because of their efforts. I'm excited about the enthusiasm I've seen. It makes my job easier and a lot of fun in the long run. "Anyone who knows Lynn knows how shy she once was. "The responsibilities of Oktoberfest have made me come out more." Lynn interrupted the interview to glance at the greenand-whites rehearsing, as she did quite frequently during the interview. One could almost see a sparkle come into her eyes when she said, "I've gotten to know a lot of people instead of just meeting them. That makes my job worth it!"

Lynn is an elementary education major who lives on a farm in Smyth County, Virginia.

She is a member of the Alpha Gamma Delta social sorority and served as her pledge class' president. She has also been a member of the Ring Committee for the Class of 1981 and participated in activities such as orientation, Sophomore Roadshow, and Oktoberfest.

"I'm very happy I chose to come to Longwood. I have many special friends here and have many special memories that will make me remember college.

Oktoberfest is one of those memories. I know Oktoberfest will still be part of Longwood ten years from now. Sure, some traditions will fade. I feel, however, that the red and green spirit and traditions will be carried on as long as concerned people care. Even when the school finally has a ratio of 60 percent to 40 per cent, I know the guys will also help carry on and accept our traditions."

§v Oktoberfest 1980 .£>

By BRENDA COLEMAN Imagine if you will balloons filled with red and green water based paint flying through the air. Then picture approximately fifteen people passing a mattress over their heads with their feet (of course while they are on their backs) and then all fifteen piling on that one single bed. Wait, there's more—skits performed with cries of "Green and White," "Red and White," and "Blue and White" piercing the air (and eardrums) of all those around.

What is it—a day at a funny farm? No—it's color class competition!

Preparations for these color class competitions began many weeks ago with the election of the class chairmen. Since then, both Reds and Greens have worked separately and together to create a fun-filled week of Oktoberfest contests that will lead up to the final presentation of the Oktoberfest cup on Saturday, night.

Paint battle on Tuesday night kicks off the competitive week.

This traditional contest has the red Freshman class (Class of 1984) and the green Sophomore class (Classof 1983) attempting to cover each other with their respective colored paint. This year's paint battle begins at 6 p.m. in Wheeler Mall and has many rules and regulations that

must be followed in order for the tradition of paint battle to survive. The rules are as follows: 1. Use only water base paint.

All other types of paint could seriously hurt a fellow student and could disqualify your class.

2. Do not use any type of pressurized objects or containers to spray your paint with.

3. Do not throw unmixed paint!

4. All participants must stay

within the sidewalks of Wheeler Mall. Leaving this area or throwing paint outside of this area will disqualify your class.

5. Your class nor color class may turn over your opponent's paint.

6. All paint must be brought to the designated roped off areas between 5:45 and 6 p.m. to be checked by Geist.

7. Cooperate with Geist by following these rules and by

listening to their instructions the night of the paint battle.

Another color competition that occurs on Saturday is color rush.

This competition consists of five to seven athletic events that put able athletes from both classes against each other in such events as a mattress race, water balloon toss, and find-your shoes relay.

These events often prove to be hilarious as well as fun and leads to a genuine feeling of spirit and

cooperation between the two classes.

All four classes compete in the booth competition. The individual classes organize, manage, and build their own booths. They will sell various products ranging from mugs to felt hats to frustration pencils. The winning classes receive points that figure in the competitive tally.

However, the most important competition reaches a climax Saturday night when the color class skits are performed. Both classes write an original script, hold auditions, stage, build a set for, and direct the skits. They are judged for musical content, dance, script, costumes, and over-all performance and theme.

This year, both classes have a Joan of Arc theme which enables them to be judged on a more equal basis than years before.

The final tally will take place right after the last skit is performed. All the scores are added and the overall winner of the Oktoberfest cup is announced. However, even though the contest pits Green against Red, we are all joined together under I>ongwood's blue and white spirit of competition.

High up in the clouds. Physically that's exactly where you could be, soaring around campus in one day. A new attraction on Her Field, in the midst of none other than Oktoberfest. A ride with a thrill, introduced by the Student Union. What could it be? How about a 70-foot hot air balloon ride. That's right, October 25, Longwood I.D. holding students have a chance to become one of the lucky people to experience such a ride.

Because of the expected excitement only thirty people will actually go up but that does not mean YOU do not have a chance.

Requirements consist of filling out the entry blanks below.

Winners will be chosen one of two ways. First there will be a

box placed in the student union office to place your entry blanks.

A student may enter as many times as he wishes. Entries will be taken from 8:30 a.m. -11:00 p.m., Monday, October 20Thursday, October 23. On Thursday and Friday during the lunch and dinner hours winners will be announced.

Second there will be designated areas for students to place entry

blanks at each Saturday Night Alive performance on October 18 and October 23, winners will then be drawn those nights by the visiting musician or group.

Remember, these entry blanks are only available to Longwood students, so go ahead and take advantage of this exciting opportunity. An equal chance for all, what have you got to lose!

Sports Editors Turn

SPORTS Sports Medicine

By PAM UPDIKE

During my service to the Rotunda as Sports Editor, it has thus far not been my policy to elaborate on sports events.

However, on the night of Oct. 2, 1980 Muhammed Ali, the selfproclaimed "Greatest fighter of all time" met his fate in the ring in Las Vegas, Nevada. This truly sad moment in the history of Boxing prompted me to pick up my pen and pay tribute to a living legend. Ever since I've been old enough to remember.Muhammed Ali has been my idol; through all the great ones I've seen him triumph, as well as falter. But always I have been in his corner.

The reason I'm such a die-hard Ali fan is because he has illustrated a tremendous sense of pride in himself and has demonstrated, by and large that he has interesting fortitude.

The team that is part of every team is known as the Longwood Sports Medicine Staff. This group of fourteen dedicated students are represented at every sports event, home and away, and every practice. It is a strictly volunteer program and is actually on the job training.

The goal of the athletic training Senior Kay Smith rebounded program at Longwood is the care from several weeks of sub-par and prevention of athletic injuries. Hollis W. Powers, a past performances to fire a 76 and win Volunteer athletic trainer for the the one-day VAIAW State Open U.S. Olympic team, is Golf Tournament Thursday at Longwood's trainer and in charge Lexington Country Club, and for her efforts, Smith has been of this program.

I can only find one flaw in his actions and character. Although I won't elaborate on the subject I feel it was wrong for him to evade his inclusion in the Armed Services of the United States.

It is so hard for us to watch a legend meet the same fate that he has administered to countless others; but the old must, and do, make way for the young. My hat is off to Larry Holmes because now he may finally receive the credit he needs and deserves.

In hope that Ali never decides to foolishly return to the ring; it should be said that I will be the first one in his corner rooting for him again. So here's to you, Muhammed Ali; my sentiments are with you. You've been a great champion; the Greatest of all time.

Eastern Kentucky, which couldn't score against Longwood and longwood won 1-0. Another game was played against Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt was not a challenge to Longwood's Lancers because the Lancers won 11-0.

Player Of The Week

In the world of soccer, goalies face perhaps their toughest test when opponents are awarded a penalty kick. With no one to help out, the goalie must go one-on-one with a foe who is trying his best to boot a shot into the net. longwood freshman goalie Jeff Carino, who stands a mere 5-7, faced not one but two penalty kicks in longwood's game at Delaware Valley College last Wednesday. Carino, in only his second start of the season, stopped both penalty shots as the Lancers defeated Delaware Valley 4-1.

For his efforts in Wednesday's game and victories Friday and Saturday Carino has been named Longwood College Player of the Week for the period October 3-10.

"Jeff had 14 saves against Delaware Valley," coach Rich Posipanko pointed out. "Saving two penalty shots is almost unheard of. He has made

tremendous strides since the season began."

Carino, a graduate of Gloucester High School, has been alternating in goal recently with another freshman Kurt Peters.

He has helped Longwood ring up a 7-3 record as the Lancers have broken practically every team and individual school record.

I^ast week longwood won four games on a trip to Pennsylvania, defeating Valley Forge 7-0, Delaware Valley 4-1, Cabrini College 3-2 and Allentown 2-1.

An All-District performer in his prep career, Carino was MVP two years at Gloucester and captain his senior year. The Business Administration major is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred A. Carino of Gloucester.

pulled through with a 1-0 victory.

Longwood was coming home after a victorious tour to face their rivals, Old Dominion.

The Lancers were ready strategically to play ODU. Mary Milne did a fine job of covering ODU's leading scorer person-toperson. By intercepting passes and blocking shots, Mary depleted ODU's offensive drive.

Another key defensive player for Longwood was senior Kim Garber. Kim's stick work stunned many of ODU's offensive players. Despite Longwood's efforts, ODU won 1-0. Longwood will be looking forward to beating

Simkins Lecture (Continued from Page 3) Tennessee writers since 1865.

Dr. Young discussed southern fictional literature between the years 1925 and 1945 during WWI (modern period) and after WWII (contemporary period). He described the changing attitudes of the writer after WW II concerning place and function in literature. Young said, "Artists became more concerned with discovering their place in this absurd universe."

The universal myth of the human condition known as "the Southern legacy" said Young,

■'hi "

Tuesday, October 21, 1980 was the evidence of a more traditional society revolving around family, friendship, folkways and customs.

Young discussed in great length three main writers during this period. Donald Davidson, said Young, describes in his work the traditional society of the antibellum south. Davidson wrote how the south tried to establish and maintain democratic principles much like the society of Thomas Jefferson's day.

Allen Tate was the next writer discussed whose works revealed the southern value of literature which differs from the common American attitude. Tate describes the concrete forms of any lasting society such as the southern social point of view including conventional manners and a code of honor. Writers became contemporary when they lost this traditional identity and used a novelty of technique and a

superior "detachment" from the society.

Writing took on a new consciousness after WWII with writers concentrating on time, not space, the present moment as unique, living by chance and forgetting one's own nature. The new contemporary writer described special characteristics within the plight of humans.

After WWII, Young described how the south had to re-enter the world. The attitudes of the paternalistic south and the capitalistic America were clashing and southern writers began to change. Young said this change was evident in such works as T.S. Elliot's Wasteland. "The Game of Chess" is a dramatic presentation describing the grandeur of the past. However, this past can no longer be participated in or passed on.

"Social responsibility and personal honor became meaningless to the postmodernist" said Young.

,• *-£>::>

American attitudes had shifted to a European doctrine of perfectability for all people.

Commentary (Continued from Page 4) several other teaching assistants, feels that students need, "to focus their papers and develop a clear individual base in grammar from which to write." Dr. Sedgwick, who received a BA from Harvard, an MAT from Columbia Teacher's College, and a doctorate from Boston University, defines the basic need of most student writers as a need "to discover the perimeters of a sentence. For example, most students need to learn what a runon, a fragment, or a comma splice is, and how to avoid these sentence problems."

The Writing labs serve not only the English department, but all college departments and all students. The labs are open and any professor may recommend a student for specific writing problems.

Self-motivated students who desire assistance in specific areas may join a walk-in class until the problem is conquered. In today's job market, writing skills are an invaluable asset. With six graduate assistants willing to help students and prospective employees acquire these skills...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

Your Turn Red Wishes Dear Student Body, The Red and Whites wish to extend their best wishes for all, this Oktoberfest week end. May it be a time of joy, love and spirit for all to enjoy and cherish. Good luck Geist, Greens and Reds!

2) Reorganization and structure of the committee has taken place.

3) They are aided by a Financial Advisor and are adding other advisors.

4) The overall interest by committee members to make the pageant successful and purposeful is strong.

5) They are going to try and obtain more publicity and support from patrons.
