Petitions To Circulate By MATT PETERMAN and LEE FORD Do you want partying to disappear from Longwood College? According to the most recent poll, if you are with the majority of Ixmgwood students you surely don't. KEEP LONGWOOD COLLEGE WET (KLCW) is a newly formed student organization to keep Ixmgwood College from going dry. This group recognizes that
generations have enjoyed. It wishes to stop this domino effect which is increasingly appearing to be a trend of the 80's and the nation's march towards conservatism. "They want to preserve a wet campus because sooner or later the trend will reverse," commented Bob Woods, a Longwood student. A panel discussion on the pros and cons of Colleges having a dry campus will take place tonight at
petition will be presented to the Board of Directors and Longwood College President Janet Greenwood upon completion. A minimum goal of 2000 signatures is hoped for in order for a strong case. Should the campus go dry against the wishes of Longwood students, what will life be like at Longwood: 1) Long walks to local bars every time you desire to party, 2) No parties on campus, 3) Long drives to HSC, 4) No drinking at the cafe, 5) More people leaving on the weekends, and 6) Basically, not much Longwood. This petition will give SGA President, Ricky Otey, a clear mandate to argue for a wet campus should the votes become reality, thereby representing the student body for which he serves. Any questions or comments should be sent through campus mail to Box 826, or contact one of the following officers of KLCW: Chairman, Lee Ford; President, Matt Peterman; Vice President, Keith Darrah; Treasurer, Tim Oliva; Secretary, Jason Craft.

Beer, Chili And Rock-And-Roll! By CATHY GAUGHRAN YAY! Spring Weekend '87 is quickly approaching. If the area is spared any and all forms of precipitation from the 10th to the 12th,.a good time will be had by all. The fun will get an early kickoff with this year's newest Spring Weedend attraction, Oozeball, sponsored by the LC Ambassadors. Preliminary matches will begin on Lankford Mall at 3 p.m. on Friday afternoon. If you have too good a time Friday night, you'll be awakened (probably quite rudely, depending on just how hard you party) at 10 a.m. on Saturday by the sounds of one of Longwood's best amateur DJ's supplying prefestivity tunes for everybody stirring their chili pots along Stubbs Mall in preparation for the Chili Cook-Off. The cook-off starts at noon and will be judged by 10 students, with winners announced at 1 p.m. The Chili Cook-Off is brunchlunch for the day; for a new twist, one that will not be found in your local ARA dining hall anytime soon, you can wash your meal down with a nice cold beer in the
Beer Garden, open from noon to 4 p.m. (and open again at 8 p.m.). You can enjoy this meal to the Top40-Dance tunes of Mainstream, who will be performing on lankford Mall from 12 to 4 p.m. Eat quick so you can watch the continuation of the Oozeball preliminaries, which start up at 1:30. (If the weather's crummy, this might be the only event of the weekend to go off without a hitch — while chili gets soggy in the rain, and most people have an awfully hard time holding an umbrella while playing guitar, mud just gets gooshier on inclement days...) There will be a short pause in the fun to allow us to eat dinner back at Blackwell's Saturday night, but things will pick up again at 8 p.m. with the Waxing Poetics, who will be cranking out progressive rock ditties for us on lankford Mall late into the evening. Sunday will be a day of OOOZEBALL Finals, "dining on the mall", and recovering from the previous day's fun. Make plans to stick around for what looks to be a really fun weekend!
KEEP LONGWOOD COLLEGE WET the absense of alcohol at mixers, fraternity parties, the cafe, or anywhere on campus will destroy the already ailing social life at Longwood College. "Longwood is yet another College trapped in a domino effect which is sweeping the state of Virginia trying to make all campuses dry," said Steve Evans, a member of KLCW. KLCW is fighting for all students who will eventually come of age while attending Ixmgwood and who wish to drink if they want to. Taking this away from those 21, who are basically Juniors and Seniors, will be depriving them of a major social situation that past
7:30 p.m. in Lancer Hall, room 207-208. The panel consists of Sue Saunders, Dean of Students; Joe McGill, Director of Student Services; and Ricky Otey, President, SGA. This is your chance to air your views on a policy that one student called: "A policy that will ruin a tradition that has existed for many decades." All questions will be addressed and all concerned are asked to attend. Those unable to attend are asked to sign the petition that will circulate. KLCW will be circulating a petition April 13 and April 14 throughout campus dorms soliciting your support. The
