NUMBER FIVE

Tickets Are Still On Sale

By SUSAN THOMPSON Yes! It's true! The Bangles an coming to the 'Wood foi Oktoberfest, October 25. Why you may ask? Well, why not, if the price is right. Longwood College has a commitment to the Student Union for additional funding for special events, and in a survey conducted by SUN last year, a big name concert was what the students wanted. In the past, the only prohibiting factor was the price. Other bands that were considered by SUN were R.E.M. and the Outfield. Having the Bangles play here will cause a drain on available funds for the rest of the year, but it shouldn't prove harmful. Besides, SUN feels that a small loss is worth it to have a big name band play here. A loss is not predicted, however, as long as Longwood College students show thei*support and turn out for the show Three thousand tickets are oi sale as of October 1, and unti Octobner 6, those tickets are being sold exclusively to Longwood College students, faculty, and staff. There is no limit to the number of tickets one can buy, at $8 a ticket. After

It's DO joke — the Bangles will be here for Oktoberfest.

Something New Tau Kappa Epsilon, a fraternity colony at Longwood College, has chosen a novel approach to raising money for charity.

TKE members will take turns pushing a hospital gurney bed from Cumberland County High School to Longwood the morning of Saturday, Oct. 25. They plan to arrive on the campus in time to take part in the Oktoberfest Parade. The money they are raising will go to the United Way of Prince Edward.

"We hope to raise at least $1,500," said colony president John Pastino. "We've already received more than $1,200 in pledges. So far, 300 people have pledged contributions."

A fraternity colony is a group of male students on its way to becoming an official fraternity.

People have been pledging so much per mile or simply pledging one amount, Pastino said.

Contributions also will be accepted during the 20-mile trip from Cumberland to Longwood.

The event will begin at 4 a.m.

TKE members will work in seven-man shifts, each of which will be responsible for covering five miles. Pastino estimates that each mile will take about 20 minutes, based on a test run.

A van carrying Pastino and other colony members will follow closely behind. For the first eight miles, a fire engine or a rescue squad vehicle also will follow, with its lights on. Most of the trip will be along Route 45.

The Oktoberfest Parade will begin at 12:15 p.m.

This is the TKE colony's first major fund-raising project. Last

year, colony members visited people once a week at the Senior Citizens of Prince Edward (SCOPE) center and picked up and delivered clothing for Domestic Assistance for You (DAY) clients.

TKE became a colony — which requires at least 15 interested males — on Feb. 8. The colony has 37 members. A colony can become a full-fledged fraternity after one year. TKE should gain official fraternity status by next April, said Pastino, a junior from Albany, Ga. Those who wish to make contributions should send them to Box 1129, Longwood College, Farmville, VA 23901. Checks should be made payable to United Way.

October 6, though, tickets go on sale to the general public. The concert is being advertised in areas in about an hour and a half radius, with concentration in Richmond, Charlottesville, and Lynchburg. The capacity of Lancer Hall is 3500, which means that the gym won't be overcrowded. The concert is general admission with 500 chairs on the floor plus bleacher seats.

The gym floors will be covered with tarps, but due to the danger of damage to thr gym floor, dancing will not be permitted.

Food, beverages, and smoking will also not be allowed. These rules must be adhered to or else this will not only be the first concert of this size here at the 'Wood, but the last.

The doors will open at 7 p.m., and the opening at 8 p.m. will be a band called EIEIO, who is currently touring with the Bangles. Playing time for both bands is flexible. Special parking for the concert is being worked out between campus police and the Student Union. The fact that the Oktoberfest booths have been moved from in front of lancer to Stubbs Mall is helpful.

Student Union asks for student input both before and after the show, and on any other matters concerning the student body.

SUN meets every Monday night at 6:15 in Lankford and everyone is welcome. If you are unable to attend, you can leave your comments or letters at the SUN office located upstairs in lankford. Please address all letters to the Student Union board or Jay Fitzhugh. The next concert will be Wild Kingdom on November 21. SUN needs suggestions on where you'd like to see this concert (ie: lower dining hall, Her field, etc.).

Student Union is hoping for a sold-out concert as tickets are already selling quickly.

Hopefully the Bangles concei will be the start of something here at Ixmgwood that will catch on.

Longwood College administration has shown tremendous help and support and should be congratulated. Special thanks to those who made it possible to use I^ancer Hall despite the risk to the gym floor.

Get your tickets, show your support, and enjoy the Bangles!

Say It Isn h So!...

Editor's Note: The following is an opinion from a person who identified his-herself to me simply as "A Friend". This person realized that "it is not routine journalistic practice to accept unsolicited and unsigned works for publication..." but the theme is all too true and the implications of "date rape" are devistating.

Therefore, I thought I'd print it as a guest editorial to give you all something to think about. Space will be provided in future issues of The Rotunda for comment, rebuttal or support. Thanks for listening....

BHB I read the story and thought...it cannot be true! Surely for this to be happening something has to be very wrong. Maybe it was simply a misunderstanding!

I was wrong...the facts are there and the stories are real, too real at that!

Did you know that: * 54 percent of all women survey experienced some form of sexual victimization! * One in every seven women were victims of rape, according to the prevailing legal definition! * One in thirteen men admitted to having fulfilled the prevailing definition of rape or attempted rape, yet virtually none of those men identified themselves as rapists! * Of the women who were raped, almost 75 percent did not identify their experience as rape! * 57 percent of the rapes reported in the study were perpetrated by first dates, and 84 percnet were perpetrated by acquaintances! * 75 percent of the women raped were between the ages of 15 and 21; the average age at the time of the rape was 18!

These are the facts from a study involving 7000 students at 35 institutions of higher education, amongst our best and brightest.

Guys, they are talking about us, you and me, our friends, the people we see in the hallways and in the dining hall. Friends (men) are hurting, exploiting, and destroying relationships with friends (women) and these women are our friends, sisters, and classmates.

The averages reported in the study would suggest that on our campus no matter where you live, at least two people on your

sROTUJNDA Editor- In-Chief

residence hall floor have been involved in such an act. Worse yet, it implies they see nothing wrong with their behavior!

These facts cause me to wonder if I would-could ever do such things? Why should I be exempt?

Would I ever force a kiss on a reluctant or resisting date?

Have I ever "copped a feel" thinking it was no big deal?

Would I use my strength, size, or quickness to trap a woman and prevent her from leaving a situation in which she was feeling uncomfortable?

Do I think a woman is "asking for it" by a style of dress or talk, by being in the wrong place, or just by being?

If my date said no more, even after some "making out" would I insist on more...and more...and?

Would I stand by, watch, and maybe laugh as my roommate, suitemate, or anybody for that matter, was forcing himself on a woman despite her objections?

How loud must a cry for help be until I am going to do something?

Well, I think I've begun to become tired of it all. I am sick of the things I am reading about that are occurring on our campus. I am sick of women being scared of me and my friends, and now I am going to do something about it all!

No more laughing at the sick jokes that degrade and make fun of women, no more sitting by while others are being scarred for life by the actions of the few, while the rest of us sit around and watch!

But what can I do, after all I am only one person? Will these acts on my part help? I hope so because I too am scared of the problem and want it to stop!

I will be sure my friends know that I have changed, no big announcement just the truth from now on. I'll tell people that I think it is wrong what has been happening and that now we must act to stop it. I'll write President Reagan, Senators Trible and Warner, Representative Daniels and ask them to give back the night. I will tell Governor Baliles, he has daughters, he must care!

I'll post articles on the subject around on the bulletin boards and in the classrooms, I'll donate one night's worth of beer money to the D.A.Y. Center. Most of all I am going to care and let people know that something is wrong!

On Sept. 15, Honeywell launched its fifth-annual Futurist Awards Competition, an essay contest that asks students to predict technology advancements 25 years from now.

Honeywell wants college students to imagine the year 2011 and write essays about the technological developments they foresee. This year's contest will offer 10 winners $3,000 each and the chance to work for Honeywell next summer.

Last year, 450 students, representing 325 colleges and universities in 47 states, entered the competition.

The contest is open to all fulltime students at any accredited college in the United States.

Students are asked to leap 25

years in the future and write an essay predicting developments in one of six technological areas: electronic communications, energy, aerospace, computer science, manufacturing automation or office automation.

A second essay must address the societal impact of the technological predictions. Each essay must be no longer than 1,500 words.

Students can receive contest rules by writing Futurist Rules, Honeywell Telemarketing Center, Honeywell Plaza MN124164, Minneapolis, MN 55408, or calling toll free 1-800-328-5111, ext. 1581. Requests for entry material must be received by Dec. 31, 1986.

Completed essays must be postmarked no later than Jan. 31,

1987. In February, a panel of top Honeywell scientists and engineers will judge the essays on the basis of creativity, feasibility, clarity of expression and legibility.

Winners will be announced in early March, and each of the 10 winners will receive a two-day, all-expense-paid trip to Honeywell's headquarters in Minneapolis.

Honeywell is a Minneapolisbased international corporation that works together with customers to help them achieve their goals through the application of computers, communications and controls.

The company has 94,000 employees worldwide, with 1985 revenue of $6.6 billion and net income of $281 million.

Study In Innsbruck

The University of New Orleans will sponsor its 12th annual session of UNO-INNSBRUCK, an International Summer School program in Innsbruck, Austria.

This educational-travel experience will involve over 250 students and some 30 faculty and staff for the summer of 1987.

"UNO's popular Alpine summer school attracted students from 35 different American universities and colleges and several foreign countries for the summer of '86," says Carl Wagner, Associate Director of the Office of International Study Programs at UNO. "As a result, UNOINNSBRUCK is now one of the argest overseas summer schools â– ffered by an American university."

Applicants are already lining performing for Oktoberfest in Lancer Hall.

Also performing will be the Dance Company in the dance studio just up for the 1987 session. Part of the secret may be that more than 70 down the hall. Don't miss them. courses in many different academic subject areas are offered in this magnificant and scenic Alpine Innsbruck setting

Look at what the

in the "Heart of Central Europe".

While participants can earn up to ten semester hours of credit, their classrooms are surrounded by the towering Tyrolean Alps, whose peaks are always snowcapped.

Naturally, courses offered with UNO-INNSBRUCK focus on the cultural, historic, social and economic issues of Europe. But, during the 1987 session courses in business and science will also be taught. All instruction is in English, and faculty from the University of New Orleans, guest professors from other American universities and from the University of Innsbruck will participate. All college credits earned are fully transferable. A very special feature of the 1987 program will be Governor Richard Lamm of Colorado who will teach several history courses concerning the great issues of today that Western nations must face.

During the session, students are housed in the Studentenhaus

at the 300 year-old University of Innsbruck. The school is a fiveminute walk from the many inns, cafes, and beer gardens in the "Old Town" of Innsbruck. And, three-day weekends offer ample time for students to travel, hike in the Alps, or ski on the nearby glaciers.

UNO-INNSBRUCK-1987 will convene with gala opening ceremonies on June 28th and end on August 8th. An optional threeweek tour of Western Europe and a one month work-study castle restoration program in Belgium are available to interest students.

Registration for UNOINNSBRUCK is already underway. Enrollment in the program is limited, so interested applicants should apply as soon as possible. Information and a full color brochure describing the program in detail can be had by writing to UNO-INNSBRUCK1987, c-o International Study Programs, Box 1315-UNO, New Orleans, LA 70148.

Love Will Find A Way

Peterman 's World

By MATT PETERMAN During this week or the next, President Reagan will sign into law a bill that will provide the Nicaraguan freedom fighters with $100 million in military and humanitarian aid. The long delayed aid is greatly needed as the Soviet Union has supplied communist Nicaragua with over a billion dollars of mostly military aid. The Soviets support has greatly increased in 1986, as the Gorbachev Doctrine, which states, whenever the west tries to liberate a country, the Soviet bloc will push back twice as hard, has kicked into full gear.

The Sandanista regime is rewarded with weopons like helicopter gunships, tanks, and an array of sophisticated missies for their repressive governing of the Nicaraguan people. The Soviet Union has also provided the Sandanistas with Cuban military advisors whose experience gained in Afghanistan and Angola are a great help to them.

Many Americans would rather give the Contras nothing and be passive. They scream, as a scare tactic, that it will be another Vietnam which for the most part is false. The undeclared war that the U.S. carried on in Vietnam is so deeply complex and involved that the analogy is weak. The U.S. Congress has even passed legislation that orders all Americans to stay out of a 30 mile area close to any Nicaraguan border and discourages any travel close to these areas. It must also be noted that until the aid bill is signed, no

»1W

governmental agency will give any funds or resources to the Contras.

On the other hand there are many Americans who could not wait for Congress to make up their mind. Recently a C-123 transport plane was shot down with a sole survivor, who happened to be American.

Though the U.S. government is not involved in this particular or any facilitating of supplies to the Contras, it does not discourage this type of activity. Had Congress passed this aid more quickly, tragic incidents like this plane crash could have been avoided.

As the Gorbachev Doctrine begins to penetrate Central America, the U.S. must be strong in repelling so as the true heirs of the Nicaraguan revolution, the Contras, can triumph. Though the Sandanistas claim Nicaragua is a great democracy, they forget that the system they have installed is a communist dictatorship. With or without U.S. pressure, Nicaragua will continue to import arms for what future devious actions remain to be seen. One look at Cuba gives one a picture of what Nicaragua will become in the years to come: anything but free.

Though the Gorbachev Doctrine applies to the entire world scene, a win for it in vunerable Nicaragua could give rise to the entire collapse of Central America. The U.S. must be strong in the face of a dangerous threat that could disrupt peace in the decades to come.

By ROBIN MARTIN Mike and Michelle Estes met the very first day of their freshman year. They were married July 25, 1985, the summer before their sophomore year. They are now Juniors, and had their first child, Brandon Todd Estes, this summer on July 31, 1986.

How do two college kids manage to pay their own way through school, juggle classes, marriage, and have a 24-monthold child? It's not easy, as Mike put it.

This simply puts a roof over their head. Mike is also Head Student Supervisor for the dining hall. Michelle was a student supervisor last year. In addition to this, Mike was awarded a $3,000 scholarship by ARA on April 23, 1985. They also have several financial aid loans.

Michelle is a special education major, taking nine hours. Her classes are in the morning. They have only one conflict on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30-2:20, when a friend sits for Brandon.

Iranian Hostage Speaks At Longwood The United States and other Western nations will not curb terrorism until they are "consistent in making terrorists pay each time they strike," a former hostage in Iran told a Longwood College audience recently.

Col. Charles W. Scott, who was one of 52 Americans held hostage at the American Embassy in Tehran from Nov. 4, 1979 until Jan. 20, 1981, spoke at longwood Oct. 2. He is an authority on international terrorism.

The lecture was sponsored by the Student Union.

Terrorism will continue 'until the civilized nations of the world can be brought to realize that terrorism is clearly an international threat and an international problem; that it will require a concerted, cooperative effort by all nations if we are to deny terrorists the sanctuary, safe passage and support they now enjoy, and without which their operations can't succeed," said Scott.

At the same time, the U.S. should not over-react to the threat of terrorism. "The greatest threat posed by the terrorist is that we may be provoked into an excessive reaction, adopting libertylimiting legislation and oppressive counter-measures. So far the actual injury caused by terrorism against the U.S. has been relatively light."

"We need to remember that fear, distrust and the feeling of government impotence are the tools employed by the terrorist to force radical change in a society, or even cause a government to collapse. When we over-react, we play into the hands pf our avowed • enemies.

America has been at war for almost six years, although we are "reluctant to face reality," he said.

"The murder, torture and kidnapping of innocent Americans by terrorists, on orders from any state that sponsors and controls them — providing them training, arms, money, safe passage and sanctuary — constitutes a direct act of war against the U.S. by the sponsoring state."

"Our failure to consider statecontrolled terrorism an act of war in the past has served only to embolden terrorists and their masters in countries like Libya, Iran and Syria, among others.

Unfortunately, even after the April 14 strike against Libya, most Americans are not willing to concede that we are at war.

And the performance of our allies' gives no cause for optimism that we will win the fight against state-controlled terrorism any time soon."

Our country's experience in Vietnam "infected Americans and our European allies with a kind of moral paralysis against the use of military force, even in response to blatant acts of carna'gstagainst ouricitizens and our nation."

Terrorist acts have increased 10-fold in the past decade and more than 90 percent of them have achieved their objectives, said Scott. Last year, there were more than 800 terrorist operations worldwide and 928 men, women and children were killed by trerrorists — only 23 were Americans.

"So, contrary to what the terrorists preach — that we are the prime targets because we are universally hated - terrorism is

clearly an international problem, not a threat unique to America."

The major sponsors of terorism are Libya, Iran and Syria, said Scott. Unfortunately, some Western nations "bow to their own short-term financial and political interests in lieu of opting for an effective policy to fight terror."

These countries include Italy (which has a $5 billion annual trade with Libya), Austria (which sells chemicals to Iraq for the production of poison gas), West Germany (which is a major trading partner with Iran), Greece and, surprisingly, Israel.

"We've all heard the cliche: One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. To me, this is the ulitmate example of our moral confusion. But it's exactly what the terrorist would have us believe. They also persist in calling themselves guerrillas. They are neither freedom fighters nor are they guerrillas . . .Guerrillas are irregular soldiers that fight regular military forces.

Terrorists almost never engage regular military forces; their prime targets of choice are weak and defenseless civilians, women, children and old men included."

Scott said that Israeli Ambassador Netanyahu

provided the best definition of terrorism — "the deliberate and systematic murder, maiming and menacing of the innocent to inspire fear for political ends."

"There is a popular myth that terrorism is a natural outgrowth of the frustration and anger of the downtrodden masses, especially in the Third World. Although this kind of terrorism does exist, it is not widespread, nor is it a major threat."

"The kind of terrorism that has menaced the world over the last decade is state-sponsored — it's also, by definition, statecontrolled — terrorism. Without state sponsorship, international terror would be extremely difficult, if not impossible."

We need to adopt new and bolder methods to eliminate terrorism, Scott proposed.

"Until recently, we fought the war against terrorism by not fighting it at all. We insisted on following a rigid list of nearly impossible-to-satisfy rules of engagement — prohibiting direct punitive action unless we could positively locate the individual terrorists involved in an attack and catch them alone, totally isolated from innocent civilians' so noncombatants would hot be in jeopardy."

"Had we fought World War II with this kind of self-imposed

restrictions, we'd all be marching the goose step today.

We've fought this tedious, and in my view, unnecessary moral battle agianst ourselves for years because we failed to grasp the essence of terrorism, that it's a sneaky, unconventional form of warfare, but nonetheless it is war!"

Scott gave tips that reduce the chances of Americans becoming a terrorist victim — keep a low profile, stay away from airports with poor security records, don't wear expensive clothes and jewelry, don't stay in airports longer than necessary, look around for suspicious characters and actions, and, as you travel, look for cover where you'll be protected if shooting breaks out.

Scott said he "fully supports" President Reagan's air strike against Libya in retaliation for its support of a terrorist act in West Germany.

"It should have been our policy all along. We are at war and you can't win a war that is forced on you by rolling over and playing dead. If we can convince the terrorists and their sponsors that we will be consistent in making them pay each time they strike, we will finally be in a position to curb terrorism by making it highrisk, expensive and less effective than has been the case."

Sports Wrap Up Men's Golf Concludes Season

Smith To Coach In Japan Dr. Barbara Smith, women's golf coach at I-ongwood for 20 years, has been chosen to lead the NCAA women's golf contingent which will play in Japan December 10-12. Dr. Smith is the first coach of a non-Division I team to be selected in the six years that the NCAA has fielded a women's team in the competition.

Previous coaches chosen fo the NCAA-Japan competition were from Oklahoma State, Tulsa, Texas Christian, Miami and Florida.

"Naturally, I feel quite honored but also very surprised," said Dr. Smith, coach of Longwood's NCAA Division II program.

•'There are so many good coaches out there I couldn't imagine why I was selected."

Dr. Smith was recommended for the post by the NCAA Women's Golf Committee of which she is a member. The recommendation was approved bv the NCAA Council.

One of the top college coaches in the country, Dr. Smith was named LPGA Coach of the Year in 1983 and NCAA Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year in 1985.

She has led Longwood to second or third place finishes in national tournaments in four of the past six seasons. Seven LC golfers have been named Ail-Americans in that same span.

Dr. Smith will work with Page Dunlap of Florida, Caroline Keggi of New Mexico and Kate Rogerson of Kentucky, the top three undergraduate finishers in the 1986 NCAA Women's Golf Tournament. Wake Forest coach Jesse Haddock will coach the sixmember men's team in the NCAA-Japan competition.

The U.S. contingent will meet in I>os Angeles December 5 and arrive in Tokyo December 7.

After two days of practice, the teams will engage in three days of match play and return to the United States December 14.

Player of the Week Kim Howells Freshman goalkeeper Kim Howells notched her sixth shutout of the season Thursday in I-ongwood's 1-0 field hockey win over Radford. For her performance, Howells has been named longwood College Player of the Week for the period October 12-19. Player of the Week is chosen by the Ixmgwood sports information office.

Howells had six saves in the Radford victory, which gives Ixmgwood a 9-5 record. Coach Sue Finnie credited her with one of the game's key plays when she stopped a shot right in front of the goal by Radford Ail-American Sue Neal.

"Kim made a beautiful save on that shot," said Finnie. "It was a big play, but she has been making those kind of plays for us all season."

Howells has a fine goals against average of 1.3 for the season. Take away logwood's 91 loss to James Madison on astroturf and her goals against average is a stingy 0.7. Her play has been a key factor in Longwood outscoring the opposition 38-17 in 14 games.

Field Hockey Celebrates 60th To say that Saturday will be a big day for Longwood's field hockey program would be an understatement. Not only will the College be observing its 60th Anniversary of hockey, Lady Lancer coach Sue Finnie could get her 100th career coaching victory if LC can defeat LaSalle.

Longwood brings a 9-5 record into the LaSalle game after beating rival Radford 1-0 last Thursday. A game at Virginia Commonwealth Tuesday was rained out and will be played Monday, October 27.
