So How Do You Start A Club Here?

By CATHY GAUGHRAN There are over 80 student-run clubs and organizations on our campus. Have you ever wondered how they got there or how YOU could start a club? It's simple! Before you do anything else, read the section on student organizations in the student handbook (pg. 64 of the 1986-87 calendar). Once you know what the purpose of the organization will be, go see Paul Striffolino in the I^nkford Student Center Building and talk about it with him. He'll help guide you in the right direction as far as choosing potential advisors and writing up a constitution.

The purpose of your club will play a large part in who your advisor should be, and what needs to be included in your constitution.

Choices for advisor should include faculty and-or staff members who will know how to help the club in a number of ways, including giving intelligent advice, helping find new activities to undertake, and finding additional money sources and incomes.

Not all constitutions will be exactly alike, but they will have some basic similarities. All club constitutions name and give the purpose of the club, state

qualifications for and responsibilities of members, give details of offices necessary in such an activity, and define the objectives of club meetings.

Beyond this, constitutions vary from club to club; for example, the Foreign Language Club needs to define aspects of their club that may not pertain to other clubs, such as the Rugby Club or the College Democrats Club. You can obtain a copy of guidelines for drawing up a constitution from Paul Striffolino in Lankford or from Phyllis Mable in the Rotunda.

Once you have a constitution, submit it to the Student

Folk Ensemble

The James Madison University Folk Ensemble will give a performance of international folk dances on Tuesday, November 18, at 7 p.m. in the Lancer Hall Dance Studio at Longwood College.

The Folk Ensemble, directed

by Janet Sponheim, will perform dances from Germany, Bulgaria,

Hungary, England, and the United States. The group emphasizes authenticity of costumes, dances, and music from each geographical area.

A participation session will follow the performance.

Members of the ensemble enjoy sharing dances, so those who wish to learn a few folk dances

are encouraged to join in.

The performance is funded by the Longwood College Arts Council and sponsored by the dance program of the Department of Physical Education, Health, and Recreation.

The public is invited to attend the performance at no charge.

Government so they can approve it. The only real reasons they might have for not approving a club's existence on campus might be (1) we have a club that does the same thing already, or (2) there is no reason why anyone in the world would ever want to join it; a javelin-catching club, for example....

Registering your club with the Student Government gives you the rights to reserve space on campus for meetings and activities and apply for student activity fee funds, and your events can be advertised in Campus Bulletins and other campus publications.

Clubs on campus include academic clubs as well as special interest clubs. Some, like Tau Kappa Epsilon Franternity, are just being formed. Some, like the radio station and the yearbook, have been revived within the past few years. Some, like the Rugby Club, are clubs because they cannot be anything else. The Rugby Club is a club instead of a team because "the sport is dangerous—we're supported by the school, but not sponsored by the school", remarked coachpresident Tim Seymour.

Although there are over 80 clubs on campus now, there could be 80 more—all we need is someone to start them!

A.M.A. After a weekend of exhausting meetings and roundtable discussion panels, the Ixmgwood Chapter of the American Marketing Association returned recently from the 1986 Northeast Regional American Marketing Association Conference held at Penn State University.

The "Making it Happen in Marketing" Conference, which was held November 14-16, hosted over 300 students and advisors representing 40 different chapters of the A.M.A. The Longwood Chapter was represented by Chapter President, Barrett Baker, Executive Council Member, Robert Turner, and Chapter Advisor, Mr. Burt Brooks.

Several different programs were offered in five different sessions so that each individual would have a chance to attend the programs they wanted to see most. The programs included topics such as: Time Management, How to Kill an Idea, Understanding Your leadership Style, Women and Other Minorities in the Workplace, Marketing Research, and learning About the A.M.A., just to mention a few. There was also separate roundtable

discussions for all Chapter Presidents, all Financial Officers, and all Chapter Advisors which was mostly an informational exchange between Chapters to see what other schools were doing and what could be done to improve individual Chapters.

Plans to attend the International Conference in New Orleans were also discussed. This event will take place April 9-11.

Ixmgwood hopes to send some representatives to this conference as well so that they can start to get more recognition for the School and for the Chapter.

A great deal of good ideas were generated from the Regional Conference. The Longwood Chapter hopes to bring these ideas home and implement them in a manner so that members are not just there for resume purposes, but to get actively involved and to learn some skills that they can take with them after graduation. If you would like to get involved with the A.M.A. in one way or another, please contact Burt Brooks in Hiner or Barrett Baker at 3929909. It is never too late to get involved.

On Sunday I went to see "The Wall" as it seems to be called. You know the one, it is in Washington, D. C. and honors the men and women who died in the Vietnam War. Have you ever really seen it, not just on TV but up close? Did you see the people, family and vets?

Again, I found the stories I had heard to be true! It is a very moving experience. More than that I found it to be a frightening and horrible experience. I also watched the movie on television about Agent Orange and the position of our government that there is no relationship between illnesses affecting Vietnam veterans and Agent Orange.

War is a horrible waste and some have said they feel it to be necessary. War is a waste of the men and women who inevitably die.

War is a waste of our valuable resources that could be better used to feed the hungry and develop cures for the illnesses plaguing our world. War is most frequently caused by men trying to prove they are right, more right, and-or stronger than other men. What's the point?

I want to be sure it is understood that I am not being critical of our veterans, they have been pawns in our own ignorance.

In recent elections less than 40 percent of the eligible voters cast ballots. Does this mean it was not an important election or does it mean that people are too caught up in themselves to bother with it?

Don't tell me you couldn't go home...they do have absentee ballots even in Virginia! Don't tell me you didn't know it was Election Day...it was in all the papers, the news, the radio, and even on my door step.

You may think that little was happening in the world that needed your vote. Can this be true? Our U. S. Congress recently approved a new tax bill that is NOW affecting your financial aid, it is affecting investments and donations to Colleges and other not for profit groups, the laws of the 99th Congress have even reached in to the food you eat and the clothes you wear.

This same Congress "allowed" the President to spend money in South American in order to "bring freedom" to the people. This is being done with guns and bombs that are designed for killing...that

is all! The Congress "supported" the President in his effort to build the biggest gun of them all (SDI) despite the advise of our best and brightest scientists that it cannot be done.

In the late 1950's and early 1960's it was fashionable to think that we were at peace and that the conflicts in such far away places as Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia did not really impact on our lives. I believe we are doing the same thing now in such places as Nigaragua, El Salvador, and the Honduras. We have troops, guns, money, and people in those countries and sooner or later someone is going to kill one too many "Americans" (in Vietnam it was a fake killing of sorts: remember the Gulf of Tonkin).

Wake up people, the tragedy of Vietnam should never be repeated again. Vote, read, understand the people in other worlds. I don't wish to cry for more who have needlessly died.

Good Tidings The National Boychoir of America will present a Yuletide treat for the entire family on Thursday evening, December 4, at 8 o'clock in Longwood College's Jarman Auditorium.

The concert is part of Longwood's Series of the Performing Arts. General admission is $6. For young people under 18, senior citizens, and Ix)ngwood employees and their families, admission is $4.

Longwood students will be admitted free with ID. The National Boychoir has given standing-room-only performances throughout the U.S. and Canada. Their Christmas season concerts feature well-known and not so well-known Yuletide music from around the world.

Founded by Brahmachari Keith, a conductor, pianist, and

composer, the National Boychoir made its New York debut in 1980 at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall. That same year, they appeared in the Concert Hall of the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. At the invitation of President Reagan, the choir performed at the White House during the 1982 Christmas season. The following year, they participated in the Metropolitan Opera Company's Centennial celebration with a concert at the Met's "Villa Pace" Museum and Arts Center.

The choir has recorded three albums under the Vantage label and is scheduled to record a fourth album upon return from the current tour.

Buy A Car A new book published by Ford Motor Company is designed to help consumers become smarter new car shoppers, especially first-time buyers — many of whom are college students. "Car Buying Made Easier" is a reference guide that takes buyers through all the steps of the car or light truck buying process. "This is an objective book which will help people make an informed choice about any vehicle, regardless of who produces it or sells it," said James D. Donaldson, executive director of Marketing for Ford's North American Automotivve Operations. "It fits right in with our customer-driven philosophy, which gives customer satisfaction a top priority in everything we do.

"We have high confidence in our products," he added. "We believe that a better-informed public making knowledgeable comparisons will buy more of our cars and trucks."

The guide is designed to help prospective buyers narrow vehicle choices as they read through it. It starts with a quiz to help buyers identify the vehicle size that best fits their needs, and a quick comparison chart of new cars and trucks that include price ranges, features, uses and powertrains.

Other sections cover body styles, engines, powertrains, options, getting the best deal, financing and how to take delivery of a new vehicle. Also included is a glossary of automotive terms, and a guide to using the service department correctly.

"We believe this guide is especially effective for college students who probably are buying a car or light truck for the first time," said Mr. Donaldson.

"In addition to detailed product comparisons, the guide also explains what is involved in the buying process, describing such things as price negotiations, financing, trade-ins and credit in easy-to-understand terms."

Sweet Briar Exhibit "Landscape in Photography," an exhibition of 19th and 20th century original prints on loan from the Virginia Museum, will open on November 18 in Pannell Center Gallery.

The collection of 40 photographs surveys the history of the medium while focusing on the environment, a primary subject for photographers since the mid-19th century. Early photographers desired to express visually what words could not.

The Sweet Briar exhibit includes 19th-century examples of straightforward documentation of the American West and exotic faraway places in Europe. Other cameramen, like Henry Peach Robinson, rigorously followed traditional lighting and compositions of artistic convention. He dressed and posed professional models and manipulated them to serve as focal points for his landscapes.

At the turn of the century, photographers controlled the printing process to obtain romantic soft edges. This prompted a reaction against

mechanical control of the image.

Ansel Adams refined this appreciation for a technically pure approach in his majestic landscapes. Today's photographers appear to shift from the purist approach, picking and choosing from a broad and varied legacy to create fascinating and thoughtprovoking images like those by Linda Connor and Jerry N. Uelsmann.

The photographers mentioned above are among more than 30 artists, including Edward Steichen, Eugene Atget and Edward Weston, represented in the exhibition at Sweet Briar.

The exhibit is open to the public free of charge, through January 29, 1987, Tuesdays-Fridays 10-4, Saturdays 10-1 and Sundays 1-4.

For further information on these and other art exhibits at Sweet Briar College, call Carma Fauntleroy, Director of Galleries, at (804) 381-6248.

Estudiantes Intercambio International de Estudiantes, A.C., a student exchange program, is offering local families the opportunity to share their home life with a young boy or girl from Latin America. Students will arrive in November, December, or January for a two month stay.

To the Editor: It is a shame that Longwood College does not see fit to adequately serve its students.

The increasing tuition that we students pay demands that, in return, we receive the highest quality in services to all of Longwood's facilities. One facet of campus continues to be neglected; that is the issue of access to buildings for disabled students. A percentage of all campus buildings are supposed to have ramps and other means of access for the disabled population, according to the law.

It doesn't take much effort on the part of Janet Greenwood, other administrative faculty and staff, or the students to see that the only buildings with adequate access are Lancer Gym, Student Health Center, and Curry and Frazer Dorms. Some of the other buildings have elevators, but that still does not solve the problem of entering the building. The rest of the buildings have nothing but stairs. Even the library, a. jmildjng utilized bv the entire student body is not adequately access]] r^ngwood can find money to hire additional faculty, establish more parking, increase dining

hall hours (which means more money to pay employees to work additional hours), etc., to make life better for students, but it can't find the funds to help the disabled of the campus.

At the beginning of this semester, I dislocated my knee in the Lancer Cafe and had to use crutches. At one point, I needed to use a wheel chair to get to my classes on time and keep up with my college schedule, but I was unable to do so because none of the buildings in which I had classes had ramps. I was forced to use crutches and the stairs. (I almost fell many times!)

Since my accident, I've encountered many students on crutches, canes, using braces, etc. I have become more sensitive to this issue than I was in the past and I think it's high time we do something about it.

Many people say that it's not an important or pressing issue because so little ot the college's population falls into this "disabled minority." To them I say: "Never pass judgement until you've walked a mile in the shoes of those faced with this terrible dilemma!"

To the Editor: Recently there has been a lot of talk on how Longwood should get rid of Family Style Dining. There are some good reasons to get rid of Family style, but most people don't take the time to think of the many good reasons to keep it.

Without Family style there would be a long wait for a table because most students don't fill the tables up with eight people and that would mean a lot of wasted space. Then you would have to wait for one of the dining hall employees to clean the table since most students are just too lazy to take their trays to a truck or the window. The dining hall currently employees about 200 students and most of them would lose their jobs and there aren't enough jobs on campus to replace the jobs lost. One thing that most students don't realize is that one of the major holdups is the mess that they leave on the table, and

the fact that they sit and talk for about 10 minutes while the line out the door grows. If Longwood wishes to get rid of Family style dining then the students are going to have to start picking up after themselves.

You can bet that I quickly found my listing and tore it out. I was personally outraged that the college would be so careless about confidential information.

Even more upsetting is the fact that, last year, I encountered this same situation, except it was at the Science Building. I don't think that any student's confidential records should be made available to the public, even if it is through the trash.

The college owes it to its students to seal such listings and dispose of them somewhere other than in boxes at a public exit. After all, I don't remember seeing confidential information about faculty lying about anywhere.

Please, give the students a little

To The Editor: Recently, I was exiting through a door in the Rotunda area (the location shall remain unnamed for confidential reasons), and I had to dodge a few piles of boxes that were obviously intended to go out with the trash. I bumped into a small pile, and as I bent over to pick up some papers which had teetered out, I happened to notice that they were computer print-outs of deserved respect — our privacy confidential student information. is at stake here.

Wrestling Longwood's wrestling team got its 1966-67 season off to an outstanding start last Wednesday night with a resounding 41-2 victory over Newport News Apprentice before a vocal home crowd in Lancer Hall.

This week the Lancers will compete in the Elon College Tournament Friday and Saturday in Burlington, North Carolina. Following the trip to Elon, Longwood won't resume action until December 3 when they visit William & Mary.

Potentially the best Lancer team ever, Longwood lived up to its advanced billing by winning nine of 10 matches and tying one Wednesday night.

Heavyweight Jesus Strauss and 190-pounder John Kelly recorded pins and 118-pounder

Tim Fitzgerald blitzed his foe 23-5 in match highlights. Tommy Gilbert also won in overwhelming fashion with a 19-4 technical fall at 142 pounds.

Also gaining wins for the Lancers were: Ben Bartlett at 126, 7-3 decision, John Stukes at 134,11-6 decision, Billy Howard at 158,11-5 decision, Matt Meurer at 167, 10-8 decision, and David Taylor at 177, 13-12 decision.

Longwood's Pete Whitman battled Kevin Olinger to a 7-7 tie at 150 pounds.

"The hustle was great," said Lancer coach Steve Nelson. "I was pleased with the effort, but technique was lacking. Our freshmen did a real good job.

That was the best performance we've had in Lancer Hall in a long time."

Henry IV The Longwood Players will present Henry IV, the tale of a madman who thinks he's "royal," on Wednesday through Saturday evenings, Nov. 19-22, in Jarman Auditorium. Written by the 20th-century playwright, Luigi Pirandello, the play explores the life of a man who "has strayed from reality" and believes he is the German king, Henry IV. The consequences of his charade are sometimes amusing, sometimes tragic. The cast includes friends and foes of the make-believe monarch, who masquerade as counsellors, monks, queens, and guards to fulfill his fantasy. The production is directed by Dr. Patton Lockwood, Professor of Speech and Theatre. Curtain time is 8

p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday; 8:30 p.m. on Friday. Admission is $4 for the general public; $2 for Longwood faculty-staff, senior citizens, and students; Longwood students free with ID. The Camerata Singers, Longwood's premier mixed choral group of 34 singers, have been chosen to sing at this year's Virginia Music Education Association convention in Roanoke, Nov. 21. The group will perform three pieces by Emma Lou Diemer (a California composer who was guest composer for Longwood's Contemporary Music Symposium in 1983); Hor che'l ciel e la terra

by Claudio Monteverdi (from his 1638 book of madrigals about

Love and War); Six Chanson by American Paul Hindemith (on selected poems by Rauier Maria Rilke); three nativity anthems

by British-born William Mathias; and Solfeggio by a contemporary Russian composer, Arvo Pyart. The Camerata Singers will perform at E.C. Glass High School in Lynchburg en route to the convention. Dr. Lee Egbert; Associate Professor of Music, directs the Camerata Singers; accompanist is Nancy Sherman.

The singers, selected by audition, are from numerous academic fields: physical education, history and government, prelaw, art, theatre, business administration, psychology, home economics, elementary education, biology, and music.

Women's Basketball Preview Longwood College women's basketball coach Shirley Duncan approaches the upcoming season with mixed emotions. The Lady Lancers will be more experienced, but youth still dominates.

"We're more experienced than we were last year, but we're young," said coach Duncan, whose team finished 8-17 after back-to-back 16-win campaigns.

"We also have a very tough schedule with five Division I opponents, but we're looking to improve on last season's record."

While the 1986-87 edition of Lady Lancer basketball will have eight returning squad members, just four of those players have considerable experience. Only seniors Caren Forbes and Karen Boska and juniors Angle Hill and Barbara Burton have played more than one year.

Co-captains on this year's team, the 5-7 Forbes and the 6-1 Boska have been starters for three seasons. Forbes averaged 13.6 points and handed out 126 assists last season. She is Long wood's all-time leader in assists with 371 and has scored 1,046 points. Boska has been consistent over the years. She averaged 9.9 points and 7.3

rebounds in 1985-86. She has 741 points and 580 rebounds for her career.

"I'm looking for outstanding seasons from Forbes and Boska," said Duncan. "They have been an important part of our program since arriving on campus."

Hill, a 5-7 guard, started 18 games last season and played in 24, averaging 5 points per contest. A 6-2 center, Burton played in 18 games after regaining her eligibility at midsemester. She scored 3.8 points and pulled down 3.8 rebounds.

Missing from the lineup will be 5-11 Melanie Lee, last year's leading scorer (14.5) and rebounder (9.0). Lee chose to pass up her senior year of basketball because of commitments to an academic internship.

Four sophomores, who got their feet wet in 1985-86, appear to be ready to make big contributions. Center Sandy Rawdon, 6-1, guard Angee Middleton, 5-6, forward Kita Chambers, 5-10, and forward India Walton, 5-10, are improved and should help.

Newcomers include junior transfer Jill Everett, a 5-10

forward who will be eligible in January, and freshmen Jennifer Crusade and Deirdre McDaniels.

Coach Duncan says Everett's presence will give the team a boost in January. Both Crusade, 5-7, and McDaniels, 6-0, had standout prep careers.

"We should be a much stronger team when Jill Everett becomes eligible at the end of the first semester," said Duncan. "We'll be playing with just 10 players for our first six games."

"Our returning players came back to school greatly improved," said the coach.

"They worked hard over the summer to get ready for the season. Plus, coach (Loretta) Coughlin's conditioning program this fall is beginning to show excellent results on the floor."

Longwood, which tied for fourth in the Mason-Dixon Conference last season, has been picked fourth by league coaches and third by the MDAC sports information directors in preseason polls this fall. With the addition of Randolph-Macon to women's MDAC play, the league will have five teams once again.

Mount St. Mary's, Liberty and Pittsburgh-Johnstown are also members.

Tip-Off Tournament Begins Friday Six weeks of pre-season practice will come to an end Friday night at 7:05 when Longwood's men's basketball team takes to the floor for its regular season opener. Three newcomers will likely be in the starting lineup for coach Cal Luther's squad.

Longwood plays Division III Newport News Apprentice in the fourth Par-Bil's Tip-Off Tournament opener. Division II's Queens and Bloomsburg will square-off in the second contest at 9:00 with the winners meeting for the title at 8:30 p.m. Saturday.

First round losers play at 6:30 for third place.

The Lancers, who have made two trips to the tournament finals, will be looking to win the Par-Bil's event for the first time.

Luther is sure of only one thing as the season approaches.

Longwood has basically a new team and will make mistakes early.

"With so many new players on the squad, we'll make mistakes early in the season," said the coach. "I just hope we can make progress as things develop."

Expected to be in the starting lineup Friday are 6-3 senior Kevin Ricks and 6-0 junior Art Monroe at guard, 6-6 Quintin Kearney center and 6-4 Darryl Rutley and 6-4 Kevin Jefferson at forward.

Ricks and Kearney were starters on last season's 14-13 squad, which ended up second in

D if

the Mason-Dixon Conference.

Kearney averaged 11.9 points and 7.6 rebounds while Ricks scored 7.4 points and led the team in steals (63) and assists (114). Both have played well in pre-season scrimmages.

Luther has been real pleased with the play of Jefferson, who will be the first freshman to start for Longwood since Ricks in 198384.

"Kevin (Jefferson) has been slowed by a bad ankle, but he has been a pleasant surprise," said Luther. "He has come along real well and earned a starting spot."

Luther is counting on Rutley and Monroe to pick some of the scoring slack left by the departure of last year's top two scorers Lonnie Lewis and Kenneth Fields. Both Monroe and Rutley have scored well in preseason play.

The Longwood coach expects senior Eric Pittman and red-shirt freshman Doug Poppe to be his top players off the bench.

Pittman and Ricks are Lancer co-captains.

Par-Bil's Food Store of Farmville is sponsoring the tournament for the fourth year.

Par-Bil's also plans to donate $500 to the Longwood athletic scholarship fund in honor of a Longwood Player of the Tournament.

Previous Par-Bil's Tournament winners have been Shippensburg, High Point and West Virginia Tech.

Soccer Beats Liberty Playing for the Virginia Intercollegiate Soccer Association state title has become a habit with the Ix)ngwood soccer team and 1986 will be no exception.

Longwood, will meet

Christopher-Newport 118-4) Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 in Newport News with the state title on the line. The Lancers advanced to the title tilt with a 2-1 win over Liberty Saturday on penalty kicks, while Christopher-

Newport beat Lynchburg 1-0 to reach the finals.

The Lancers won the state crown outright in 1982 over Lynchburg and tied Mary Washington for the title in 1984.

Christopher-Newport lost a 1-0 decision to Bethany in the NCAA

Men's Basketball Preview Coach Cal Luther and his I-ongwood basketball team enter the 1986-87 season facing a major rebuilding year. Five seniors, who were members of last season's top eight, must be replaced.

"We lost two All-Conference players and several top reserves off last year's team," said coach Luther. "We will be very young and inexperienced this season with only three seniors on the squad."

The two All-Conference players gone from last season were forwards Lonnie Lewis and Kenneth Fields who averaged over 36 points per game between them.

"On the other hand, we're encouraged by the potential of the young players who have joined us," said the Lancer coach. "We're hopeful that they'll be able to develop by the time league play rolls around to make us competitive in the Mason-Dixon Conference again."

Longwood ended up 14-13

overall and 7-3 in the MasonDixon a year ago to place second behind nationally ranked Mount Saint Mary's. This season in preseason polls the Lancers were picked to end up last (fifth) in the league by the coaches and fourth by the MDAC sports information directors.

Top returnees are seniors Kevin Ricks, a 6-3 guard, Quintin Kearney, a 6-6 center, and Eric Pittman, a 6-2 guard. In 1985-86 Ricks led the team in steals (63) and assists (114) while scoring 7.4 ppg. Kearney averaged 11.9 pts. and 7.6 rebs. Pittman scored 4.6 per contest.

Also back are sophomore guards Bobby Dobson 5-11, and Robert Pierce 6-1, who saw limited action in '85-86. Among the newcomers are 6-8 red-shiri freshman Doug Poppe and 6-4 sophomore transfer Darryl Rutley, who sat out last season.

Junior college transfer Art Monroe, 6-0, has shown much potential. Sophomore guard Tony Good 6-0, made the squad this

year as a walk-on.

Lancer freshmen include 6-4 Kevin Jefferson, 6-6 Greg Hollo way, 6-2 Dale Shavers, and 6-0 Gary Austin, who will be eligible in January. Austin was a starter on one of Cumberland High's Class A State Championship teams.

While Longwood's newcomers have considerable potential, the key to the upcoming season could be how well the rookies are able to blend in with the returning veterans. ' 'We have to come together as a team," said Luther. "With eight new players on a squad of 13, we've got to get used to playing with each other. We're hoping to develop as the season progresses."

Longwood's beefed-up schedule includes Division I's AlabamaBirmingham, North Carolina, Charlotte and East Carolina. In addition, coach Luther expects the Mason-Dixon Conference to be as strong as it has ever been from top to bottom.

Playoffs last week. The Captains, who beat Longwood 3-1 November 1, have allowed just 14 goals in 22 games thanks in part to goalkeeper Rick Longobardi.

Wednesday's game will match the first (CNC) and second place (LC) teams in the VISA Eastern Division.

Longwood, which has won four of its last five games, was ranked 14th in the final NCAA Division II poll last week. The I^ancers dominated Saturday's game at Liberty with 25 shots to the host team's 15.

Liberty got on the board first

missed at least five good scoring opportunities, but the defense was tremendous."

Posipanko praised goalkeeper Dave Goerke crediting the junior with four game-winning saves.

Longwood has a 6-2 record since Goerke began starting. The Longwood coach feels his team can win Wednesday if it plays with the intensity displayed Saturday in Lynchburg.

Ixmgwood landed seven spots on the All-VISA Eastern Division teams announced last week.

Robinson, a back, Edge, a midfielder, and Barone, a

4 Z**r PLAYOFF CELEBRATION — Lancer players had reason to be happy after upsetting Liberty. on a penalty kick by Sam Johnson. Freshman John Barone tied the count at 1-1 on a breakaway from 20 yards out mid-way through the second half.

After two overtimes left the teams deadlocked at 1-1, penalty kicks were called for to decide the berth in the VISA finals.

Barone, Jeff Robinson, Mike Edge, Rich Venere and Mark Kremen made their one-on-one attempts for Ixmgwood. One miss by the Flames was all it took to give the Lancers the win.

"We have been playing well the last three games," said Lancer coach Rich Posipanko. "We

forward, were named to the first team.

Barone is Longwood's top scorer with 10 goals and six assists while Edge has collected six goals and two assists.

Robinson has three goals and two assists. Edge and Barone are freshmen.

Making the All-Eastern Division second team from Ixmgwood were Goerke, sweeper Erick Karn midfielder Mahfoud Kyoud and Kremen at forward.

Goerke, Robinson, Karn, Edge, and Barone will play for the East in the VISA All-Star game December 6 at 1:00 in Farmville.
