Meaney Takes Crown In First Pageant Ever
Pkoi» kj Afar Darling
The verdict is announced • • • By KENT BOOTY Knstine M. Meaney, a 21year-old senior from Setauket, N.Y., was crowned Miss Longwood Saturday night in a Miss America preliminary before a crowd of more than 1,200 in Jarman Auditorium. Kristine, an elementary education major who was entering her first pageant, also was the talent winner and was named Miss Congeniality. She won the evening gown competition and tied for first in the swimsuit competition. She will compete at the Miss Virginia Pageant in Roanoke this July. Kristine receives a $1,000 scholarship provided by Golden Corral of Farmville and $650 in wardrobe expenses for the state pageant, also from Golden Corral. Wanda Carter, a junior from Hanover, was first runnerup. She was a finalist in the 1985 Miss Longwood Pageant. Sandra Clayton, a junior from Richmond, was second runnerup. She won the interview competition. Anita Washington, a junior from Glen Allen, was third runnerup. She tied for first in the swimsuit competition. Both Sandra and Anita were also runners-up in last year's Pageant. The runners-up receive, respectively, scholarships of $500, $250 and $100, all provided by Golden Corral. Kristine is a member of Al-
pha Delta Pi sorority, which has dominated the Pageant in recent years. Members of Alpha Delta Pi have won five of the last six pageants. The Miss Longwood crown was placed on Kristine's head by sorority sister Carl a Lockhart, a junior from Chesapeake who was the 1987 winner. As soon as the Pageant ended, members of Alpha Delta Pi hugged Kristine on stage and serenaded her with the song, "To Thee, Alpha Delta" — just as they did last year to Carla. Kristine was sponsored by The Fashion Post, Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, and Alpha Delta Pi. The Fashion Post also sponsored last year's winner. For the talent competition, Kristine sang "If My Friends Could See Me Now" from the musical "Sweet Charity." Kristine, who will graduate in December, was a four-year starter on the field hockey team. This fall, she will be an assistant coach of the team. In addition to the two tropies she received for winning the Pageant and the talent competition, Kristine took home several other prizes provided by local merchants. They are: a pair of pearl earrings encircled with diamonds from the Crown Collection at the Green Front; a Jantzen swimsuit from Baldwin's, a silver bowl from Cumbey Jewelers (for Miss Congeniality), a silk scarf of her choice from Travis', free manicures for a year from Tracey's "Backdoor" Salon, a bouquet from Rochette's Florist, and a sash from Caryn's Creations and Pairet's. The crown was from Martin the Jeweler. The Pageant, which featured 10 contestants, was seen by a highly enthusiastic, capacity audience of at least 1,225. It was emceed by Sherry Thrift Bradshaw, who was Miss South Carolina 1986 and was first runnerup to Miss America. Ms. Bradshaw, a world champion women's dogger, clogged to the song, "Are You
from the Longwood Company of Dancers and the Lancer Line, who performed the Can-Can," said Winkler. Members of the audience also were impressed by contestants, who sang, danced, played a Franz Liszt composition on the piano and did a dramatic monlogue. "Without a doubt, this was the finest group of contestants we've had in the six years I've been doing the pageant," Winkler said. Wanda Carter sang "Going All The Way"; Sandra Clayton sang "Over the Rainbow"; and Anita Washington sang "Crazy." The other contestants were Teresa Bunn, Amy Church, Alice Flora, Susan Holzman, Beth Miller and Holly Westenhoefer. In one interesting twist, the judges' final results were taken on stage to Ms. Bradshaw by Caroline Webber, the 6-yearold daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Webber, the Pageant's auditors.
From Dixie?" The Karen Sherrill Dance Arts Troupe, of North Carolina, was as popular with the crowd this year as last year. Members have won more than 50 firstplace awards in dance competitions throughout the Southeast. "They are one of the most outstanding and creative dance companies in the South," said H. Donald Winkler, executive director of the Pageant. "We're glad they accepted our offer to come back and perform. When one considers that many of the dancers are high school and college students, it's truly remarkable." Karen Sherrill told Winkler that they have performed at 25 pageants and the Miss Longwood Pageant "is by far the best pageant." The Lancer Edition, directed by John Campbell, "also was well-received, as were dancers

Dear Editor, As much as I enjoy the Pi Kapp parties in their chapter room, I think it is unfair that they can enlarge their chapter room when other fraternities on campus don't even have a chapter room. I'm speaking of Alpha Phi Omega, the national service fraternity on campus. We were told that getting a chapter room would be virtually impossible because social fraternities take precedence over others such as ours. The fact that a fraternity is social or otherwise has little to do with the issues as I see it An APO member who didn't sign their letter to the Editor

hall is not the place to put "colors" where everyone comes to eat on what should be common ground. I have heard that the SPE's were allowed to put their heart up as long as they promised to clean their dishes. Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that nearly every Roundtable has the management complaining about people picking up their dishes after themselves. It seems to me that SPE's are being rewarded for what they are already supposed to .

Students are really fed up with the amount of vandalism at Longwood. Every weekend students are faced with one huge mess do. My questions to ARA are if you noticed the fraternity not when they walk into their dorms after a relaxing weekend. cleaning the tables after them- Do the students know that come the end of the year they selves why didn't you take (as all students) are going to pay for all the damage done? managerial action and speak to Why is it that some students purposely break windows them or offer punishment? My every weekend, and tear up the dorm they live in? Do the next question to management is: how are you going to reward students not care about the college they attend? Most Longwood students are proud to be here, take the GDI's for taking up their dishes and for choosing to be an pride in the school's appearance, and are even participating individual and not be a member in the beautifi cation of the campus. However, if the vandalism of some students does not cease, the helpful work of many will go unnoticed due to all the trash, beer bottles, and graffiti on dorm walls and elevators. We believe it is a matter of self pride and the level of maturity that some students at Longwood are lacking. If students get their act together and start taking some pride in their school, dorms, and mostly their own well being, the problem of vandalism will cut down. To those of you this article pertains to, the next time you think of breaking a window or door or maybe even throwing trash on the ground, think also of the many students who will be paying for your stupidity. ■

of the Greek society? All one has to do is to look at the "Greek" section of the dining hall to see dishes piled up. On a Friday evening while eating lunch I noticed where the "Greek" section, especially the "Delta" section was cluttered with dirty dishes. I asked an ARA worker, who was cleaning tables nearby, to ask a lone Delta to clean the messy table where he was sitting. She said it would probably do no good. I asked, "why not go tell management?" and she said they would not take any action either. It seems to me that most of the dirty tables are left by male Greeks and yet it is these same organizations who get a privilege which is not available to everyone. There seems to be a lack of logic in the thinking of ARA management. I have also been behind a Greek who had left his I.D. at his room at the "cardclicker" let him into the dining hall. However, when a GDI had the same problem the same "cardclicker" sent him back to get his I.D. There were no extenuating circumstances in either case. It seems to me the Greeks are already given opportunities not available to the GDIs on campus. However, that is not the issue at hand. The Greeks can display their colors in numer*

Dina Schiano ous places on campus. They do not need another area on campus for Greek publicity battles. The dining hall should be a place for all to enjoy. There have been great improvements made in the interior of the dining hall over the four years that I have attended Longwood, however the "graffiti" on the drinking area walls distract from the overall aestheticness of the dining area. When visitors come to Longwood they will see the letters but is this the proper place for them to be seen? Let's hope not, for Longwood has more to offer individuals than different Greek organizations. I feel ARA is making a mistake by encouraging segregation to take place in what used to be a place for all individuals to come together and socialize while eating. I think it would be best if ARA withdrew their permission for letters to be displayed in the dining hall and for them to realize that we as students are all equal and would like one place on campus to come and enjoy ourselves regardless of what organizations we belong to. A Disappointed Student who didn't sign their letter to the Editor.
Dear Editor, It has recently come to this student's attention that a serious infraction of Longwood students' privacy has been occurring. Longwood employs numerous students to work in various positions in the administrative offices. They are greatly in need of these jobs and deserve them, but are working under administrations that are evidently in need of management improvement. While working in these offices, the students have access to financial and academic records of other Longwood students. If the duties the employed students perform in their jobs require them having access to other students' records, then those duties should be altered. The administrative offices that employ the students are disrespecting all students' privacy by allowing this infraction and need to seriously review their administrative policies. I, as a student, do not want any other students to know my financial and academic standings unless I choose to disclose the information myself, and am probably not alone on this sentiment Lisa Milliner

LONGWOOD BUSINESS INNOVATION CENTER SEEKING NINE INTERNS By MATT PETERMAN The Longwood Business Innovation Center (LBIC) has announced nine openings'in its internship program for next semester. As an intern, one would perform the "day to day activities of the Center and be involved in managerial and technical assistance projects," according to Dr. Larry Minks, Executive Director of the Center. Students chosen for the internships not only participate in many aspects of management and gain valuable experience, but also earn three credit hours. Applicants should be from the School of Business and Economics and preferably be attending Longwood in the Fall of 1988 as well. LBIC opened its doors last year to promote four primary objectives: To help stimulate economic, industrial, and community development programs, to improve new enterprise formation and development, to enhance the level of productivity and human resource development, and to improve organization development methods and processes. Through the year, with the help of Longwood students, it has assisted new and existing organizations to become more competitive, prosperous,and has helped them expand. According to Dr. Minks, "The Center was recently cited in a bulletin by the National Alliance for Business and U.S. Department of Commerce as one of the most innovative approaches to rural economic development established in the past year." To demonstrate its commitment to results, Dr. Minks
cited that: "the Center has serviced over 150 client requests since its opening on October 28,1986. We have also worked with over 25 organizations in providing either project work and/or managerial and technical assistance throughout the region and state." The Center is currently expanding in many ways. Plans are in the works to branch the Center out to various locations in Southside Virginia. This includes "the delivery of two weekend entrepreneurship courses designed for entrepreneurs and small business managers." These will be delivered around the state. Two major research programs include a Forest Products Industry Project and a Rural
Aerobics for Heart to Start An "Aerobics for Heart" program - a fund-raiser for the American Heart Association will be held at Longwood College on March 30. Groups of Longwood students will do aerobics from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Lancer Gym. They are currently seeking pledges. The event is sponsored by the Physical Education Majors Club, the Therapeutic Recreation Organization, and Delta Psi Kappa, a physical education fraternity. Several persons will take turns leading the aerobics for 30-minute segments. Registration is 6 p.m. Prizes will be awarded to the students who raise the most money.
FUNDRAISER IS BIG SUCCESS Peoples Drug was the local beneficiary of a St. Patrick's Day fund-raising effort in Farmville by members of the Longwood Chapter of Kappa Delta Sorority. Collegiate and alumnae members of Kappa Delta collected donations at Peoples the week of March 14-21. In addition, they sold doughnuts on Saturday the 19th. Thousands of Kappa Delta members across the country took part in the fund raiser to benefit local affiliates and chapters of the National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse
(NCPCA), the sorority's national philanthropy. Eighty percent of the funds collected will remain in Prince Edward child abuse prevention programs. The remaining 20 percent will go to the NCPCA for nationwide public-awareness programs. Kappa Delta Sorority began supporting the NCPCA in 1980, and began the annual, nationwide Shamrock Project in 1984. More than $410,000 has been contributed from the fund raisers to support child abuse prevention efforts throughout the country.
Economic Developm e n t Monitoring and Research Program. The Center invites applications for internships for the FALL semester. Applications and resumes need to be submitted prior to March 30. Interns this semester include: Katherine E. Grooms, Tamara C. Jones, Laura Patrice Landers, Diane J. Sage, Somer Sloan, Heidi Greenberg, Jesus A. Strauss, Tim Tabler and Tom Maroney.

Black Greeks Summer Field School ™Notwhat Going Forth You Think
By JAMES HACKLEY . The presence of black Greek letter organizations can be found on virtually every American college campus. There are eight principal black Greek organizations that compose the existence. The four major fraternities are Omega Psi Phi (founded 1911 at Howard University), Alpha Phi Alpha (founded 1906 at Cornell University), Kappa Alpha Psi (founded 1911 at Indiana University) and Phi Beta Sigma (founded 1914 at Howard University). The existence of black Greeks on predominately white campuses is often misunderstood by non-black students, faculty, and administrators. The traditional practices of black Greeks are often feared or ridiculed because they are not understood. Non-black observers often have problems watching black pledges walk in a line uniformly dressed with serious faces. This serious dedication is often considered entirely unnecessarily or even "hazing" by spectators. Pledging and other duties are taken seriously by black Greeks and they take pride in their actions. Uninformed opinions and biased observations only take away from the never-ending dedication that all Greeks share.

Successful Alumnae Returns To LC Johnston to Direct PETER PAN in April Theater owner and actress Melissa Johnston once believed "doing theater isn't really work." Fortunately the '76 Longwood graduate abandoned that philosophy to help create the Richmond Theater Company, a troupe which gave 1500 performances last year to children in Virginia and neighboring states. Ms. Johnston described her path to success in an interview with Bonnie Angresano, staff member of the Office of Career Planning and Placement. The owner of the nonprofit touring Children's Theater also starred in the local production of Top Girls. Her performance as Marlene won her the distinction of Best Actress of 1987 by theater critic Robert Merritt. As artist-in-residence, Ms. Johnston will direct Longwood's upcoming play, Peter Pan. She will also teach a class in children's theatre. The entrepreneur took an indirect route in achieving her career goals, but discovered that her experiences outside theater proved beneficial in her
present position. Following graduation she worked for a furniture leasing company, an employment agency, in sales and as an assistant in the Richmond revitalizatdon program. She said, "Even though my previous jobs had not been satisfying, I learned vital skills that I put to use in the job I love. "I use all the marketing, management, sales, accounting and office skills to run my own company. "We have grown in five and a half years to be a quarter of a million dollar company!" She added, "My current position includes directing and producing plays. I not only oversee the actors, but I supervise the technical aspects, such as lighting and costumes as well. "I am the literary manager, so I select the plays we use, which are original works by local playwrights, and work with them to adjust the script and plot so they work well." Ms. Johnston ended her success story with some savvy ad-

The Miss Longwood Pageant Saturday night proved to be an exciting event. There were many highlights for the evening - including the dynamic Karen Sherill Dance Arts Troupe, the Lancer Edition and, of course, finding out who would be the next Miss Longwood. The pageant began with a bang when the energetic dance troupe rocked with "The Rhythm Is Gonna Get You." The contestants then introduced themselves while showing their stuff in bathing suits. All of them have smashing figures. After the sesquicentennial minute and the impressive Lancer Edition, the talents of the contestants finally got under way. When I heard Wanda Carter sing "Going All the Way" with pure emotion I felt sorry for number two; however, Beth Miller turned out a charming monologue. Other impressively talented contestants were Kristine Meaney, who sang "If My

The second half of the show was filled with more crowd pleasers; energetic dancing, impressive clogging from Sherry Bradshaw, MC for the night, and the evening gown competition. While showing their beautiful gowns, all the contestants told the audience of their future ambitions, except Sandra Clayton, who gave a quote from Shakespeare. Most of the contestants said something pertaining to their education or theatre major, but Susan Holzman and Holly Westenhoefer gave quite different outlooks because of their different majors. Susan is a speech pathology major and will help others to overcome their speech impediments, and Holly is a German major who wants to help our country by becoming a foreign diplomat. Finally, the night
heightened to a climax when the time came to announce the runnere-up and Miss Longwood '88. Anita Washington took third place, Sandra Clayton second place, Wanda Carter first place. Miss Congeniality, the Best Talent award and Miss Longwood '88 were all won by Kristine Meaney. A few comments from some Longwood students: "I was definitely pleased with the outcome. The show was very organized.1 was never bored - except during the sesquicentennial minutes.'' "I thought the Dance Art Troupe was awesome. The Dirty Dancing theme really caught the attention of the audience." "Carla Lockhart was very poised. I loved her speech - it was natural and sincere." Congratulations to all ten contestants who worked so hard for the pageant and who had the guts to go up on stage representing Longwood College.
Finnish Students To Spend Time In Farmville By DR. NELSON D. NEAL From March 30 to April 6 Longwood College students will have the opportunity to meet and live with 35 Finnish students who have chosen to visit our campus over Hungary or Greece. These 4th year physical education majors from the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland want to visit Virginia for their annual trip. If you're wondering why they chose to come to Longwood for a 10 day trip it's because from 1983 through 1987 Longwood had a teacher exchange program with Jyvaskyla which allowed seven Finnish professors to teach at Longwood and eight Longwood professors to teach over there. The students decided that since so many teachers had been exposed to our college and because they knew some of our teachers they would come and see Longwood and Virginia for themselves. If you have a vacant bed in your room or suite and would be willing to have one of the 16 men or 19 women stay in your room please contact the Department of Physical Education for details. Call 392-9266 to make a new friend and learn about the life styles of the Finnish people.

Ex-Lancer Star Kersey Making His Mark In The NBA By MASK KIRK When National Basketball Association teams search for players to fill out their rosters, they usually look to the major colleges for help. Rarely do performers from the small college level survive the final cuts of NBA squads. However, there are exceptions to this rule. One such exception is former Longwood College star Jerome Kersey, who is currently terrorizing opponents for the Portland Trail Blazers. Picked by the Trail Blazers in the second round of the 1984 NBA Draft, Kersey has steadily progressed since early in his career when he was considered a marginal prospect by most experts. This year, in fact, he has taken the opportunity and put it in a stranglehold. As of March 11, he was averaging the following numbers: 20.3 points per game, over eight rebounus, nearly four assists, 51% field goal percentage, and 74% field goal percentage. All of these numbers are drastic improvements over his career averages. Kersey has also enjoyed gre*t«sufcces« -ire siftgl* garrhh this season. Take a look at some of these numbers: — February 12 vs. Denver: 34 points and 20 rebounds in 40 minutes. — February 28 vs. Atlanta: 35 points, sank 35-foot 3pointer at the buzzer to win the game. — March 8 vs. Dallas: 33 points and 15 rebounds in nationally televised game, voted player of the game. — December 31 vs. Philadelphia: 36 points (career high) There are two major reasons for Kersey's sudden rise into the NBA spotlight: more playing time and improved shooting
Most of his career highlights before this season were of the dunking variety: runnerup to Michael Jordan in the 1987 NBA Slam Dunk Championship, winner of the 1986 Blazer Summer Slam Dunk Championship, and so on. However, his fortunes began to change after his second place finish at the '87 Slam Dunk Championship. He began to score more points and gain more notoriety, as shown by his being voted "Best off the Bench" for Portland by the Blazers' fans. Moreover, his teammates selected him as cocaptain of the team along with Terry Porter. This success was closer to that which he endured at Longwood. After graduating from Bluestone High School in Skipwith, Va., the future NBA star began his dominant career for the Lancers. His four year stay at Longwood netted him many records and honors. A small sampling of the Kersey record sheet at Longwood would include the following: — most points scored, ca-

That's only telling part of the story! However, Kersey feels Longwood helped him in more way* than in just molding him into a star basketball player. "I've always been a hard worker," Kersey told Jaynes in the Hoop magazine article. "But being there (Longwood) really helped in that regard.

Two Kelvin Davis, Bill Conroy, Mark Moeller and Robbie Smith combined for seven homeruns in two games over the weekend as the Lancer baseball team routed St. Mary's Saturday 22-2 and Christopher-Newport Sunday 12-6. The Lancers had dropped a 7-2 decision at Old Dominion University Wednesday. Now 9-6, Longwood hosts Shaw Tuesday for two, visits Bridgewater Wednesday and hosts Division I West Chester Sunday at 2 p.m. A game at Liberty, originally scheduled Saturday, has been moved to Monday (March 28) at 3 p.m. Longwood has now clouted 24 homers this season and the long ball was crucial in the victories over St. Mary's and CNC. Davis had a record-tying seven RBIs and two homers in Saturday's victory and came back with a two-run dinger in Sunday's win. The senior shortstop is currently hitting .610 with 33 RBIs, eight homers, eight doubles, and three triples. His RBI total is just two short of the 35 leader Jeff Rohm accumulated in the entire 1987 season. In Christopher-Newport, the Lancers beat a Division III team which had knocked off Norfolk State the day before. The Captains held a 2-0 lead after two innings as righthander Mark Parnell fanned seven in a row, before Longwood got on the board. Senior Robert Jackson, of Farmville, got things started with a two-out single and Davis followed with his eighth homer to tie things 2-2. When the CNC rightfielder booted his fly ball down the line, Moeller made it all the way to third. Conroy put the Lancers ahead to stay with a blast over the fence in left-center for a 4-2 lead. He also had a two-run homer in the fifth. E. J. Bryant, of Lynchburg, picked up the win to even his record at 1-1. The junior went five innings, giving up six hits, two earned runs, walked none, and struck out five. Senior Steve Gedro picked up a save with four innings of relief. He struck out five and walked one. Parnell recorded 12 strikeouts, but gave up 12 hits.
Longwood's gymnastics team, in what coach Ruth Budd termed an average performance, finished fourth in the USGF Southeast Regional Meet at Indiana University of Pennsylvania Saturday night. The Lancer gymnasts will next turn their attention to a meet Friday night at Radford starting at 7:00. Longwood will wind up the season in the Virginia State Meet April 2 at James Madison. Host IUP won the team title with a 180.05 and IUP's Michelle Goodwin was the allaround winner with a 36.5.
West Chester was second at 170.5, Navy third at 168.65, Longwood fourth at 166.75 and East Stroudsburg fifth at 160.45. Budd praised Natalie Taylor for her showing. Taylor was Longwood's top place winner with a fifth on floor and a 9.15 score, best on floor for a Lancer gymnast this season. Taylor scored a 32.05 all-around for 16th place. "I was proud of Natalie," said the coach. "She worked hard over break and had a real good meet."
LC Ties For Fourth At Peggy Kirk Bell Invitational Senior All-American Tina Barrett started her spring season off with a bang over the weekend, winning the individual title in the Peggy Kirk Bell invitational women's golf tournament at Windermere Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, while leading Longwood to a tie for fourth place out of 16 teams. Barrett, the two-time NGCA Division II individual champ, shot 73-82-76-231 to edge Tracy Chapman of Indiana (7386-73-232) for the crown in a field of more than 80, mostly Division I, golfers.
While Missouri (957), Indiana (959) and Kansas (984) finished one-two-three, Longwood charged back from a first day standing of ninth to tie Iowa State and Wisconsin at 993. The Lady Lancers shot 327-346-320-993. Coach Barbara Smith's team had the second best score of the day Sunday (320) behind Indiana's 312. Also contributing to the Longwood showing were Gretchen Pugh, 88-87-78-253, Marcia Melone 85-89-80-254, Ashley Warren 87-88-88-263 and Leigh Russell 82-89-86-257.
