Influenza Plagues Longwood Community , By PAM HIGGIN8, Asst. Director of Student Health Service Influenza appears to have reached the Longwood Community. Visits to the Student Health Service have doubled this week for students experiencing may symptoms of viral illness. Influenza is a respiratory infection that occurs in epidemics, most often during the winter months. Several kinds of viruses are responsible for this illness. Influenza is highly contagious, which is why it tends to occur in epidemics. The most common initial symptom is headache, usually across the forehead. Headache is often accompanied by pain behind the eyes that worsen when the eyes are moved up or to the side. Early in the course of the illness, muscles ache and you may feel weak. Fever is often present, usually ranging from 100 to 103°, but higher in some cases. Fever generally subsides over 2-3 days but may last as long as a week, even In uncomplicated cases. Cough, usually dry and hacking, sneezing, runny nose.
sore throat, itching eyes, and chest pain may be present from the beginning of the illness, but more commonly appear as the early symptoms begin to subside. Uncomplica<ed illness lasts from 7 days to 3 weeks.

i NE WS Summer Job? Think Taxes If you are going to get a Job this summer, the Internal Revenue Service urges you to take a few minutes to think about taxes. There are many factors which can affect your taxes for the year. Can you be claimed as a dependent by someone else? If you can. whether or not someone else actually claims you, you will not be able to claim your personal exemption when you file your tax return. Do you have Investment Income, such as Interest on savings accounts? If you can be claimed as a dependant by someone else, that Investment Income will probably be taxed If your total Income Is over $500. You will be able to claim a standard deduction only against your earned Income, such as wages. Do you receive a scholar-

Longwood's SGA Is also sponsoring 13 students to "dive Into leadership at the IV Leadership Conference." Earlier in January Tonya Moore brought up a concert
on the proper recognition of Martin Luther King. Jr. Day. After elaborating her points with Hudson, they have formed a committee to study the feasibility of having the day. or a segment of it. off in remembrance of King. After recent meetings with President Dorrill and VicePresident for Academic Affairs Don Stuart, Hudson reported that "both administrators were very receptive to the ideas." There Is a lot of looking into it. but they both share my attitude that any student concern is worth listening to and working with. SGA also co-sponsored a Leadership Conference for Hall Council Saturday, Jan. 21. The conference was directed by Ken Rockensis. A "credit for leadership" committee has been launched and Is headed up by Senate member Rob Essington. The committee intends to make
the issue of student leaders getting compensated for their devotion and hard work. The SGA has.also reacti vated the Dabney S. Lancaster Scholarship and will be forming a committee to re-evaluate the criteria and rules concerning SAF. Both of these issues will be publicized in the near future in The Ro tunda. SGA meets every Thursday at 6:30 in Lankford's Conference Room I. All Senate meet ings are open to the public and students are encouraged to play an active role In SGA s weekly meeting.

Probation Has Heightened My Awareness Editor. The Rotunda: As part of my probation, I was required to fulfill an educational assignment by writing a letter to the editor on what probation means to me. Probation, as a form of punishment, really makes one watch his step. A student really becomes aware of the rules used in the student handbook, even though he or she should already be aware of those rules. No one really stops to think about what it is like to be on probation until he or she is put on it. For a student to go before the Judicial Board or Honor Board, while he is already on probation, could

Victory Without War: What College Students Can Do By RICHARD NIXON Chances are good that Mikhail Gorbachev will still be In power In the Soviet Union when today's college students reach their fortieth birthdays. If his economic reforms succeed as Deng Xiaopeng's have In China, his Influence could be profound enough to Influence the course of history Into the twenty-second century. To most college students, if domestic politics are a fairly remote phenomenon, foreign affairs are an almost hopeless abstraction. Usually our campuses have paid attention only when there was something to be against. Awareness has been equated with
more precisely, a generation without war. While he pursues his goal we could do two things. We could sigh with relief and turn to our own narrow interests and pleasures, taking advantage of the reduction in international tensions by reducing our role on the world stage. This is the counsel of the new negativists, who can be found not only In our great universities but also in the news media, big business, and politics. The platform of the new negativists is the new isolationism. Unlike the old isolationists of the 1950s, the new isolationists oppose not only American involvement abroad but also defense pro-

IrU. opposition, as in Vietnam and South Africa. Otherwise students are content to focus on their studies and their other preparations for the working world. In the years between now and the next century America will fall hopelessly behind the Soviet Union if the creative power of our young people is consumed in the purely selfish pursuit of financial gain and social status. If the United States is to survive in the twenty-first century and fulfill Its destiny as what Lincoln called the last, best hope of the earth, it will only be because the generation now In college rose to the challenge. If Gorbachev's "new thinking" Is successful it will be because he managed to refocus the energies of the Soviet Union from expansion of its empire abroad to reform of Its economy at home. He knows that the problems he faces will require at least a generation to solve. He needs a generation of peace - or to put It
grams at home. Obsessed with the twin fears of another Vietnam and of nuclear war. their knee-jerk response to a crisis is to tum it over to the United Nations - which in effect means to do nothing. If we go down that road, when Gorbachev's new, stronger Soviet Union stands astride the next century the old America will be no match for It. Instead, we must anticipate the challenge of Gorbachev's new thinking by building a new America - an America newly confident of its military and economic powers and also of Its spiritual appeal. If we have only twenty years before a relnvigorated Soviet Union turns its sights to renewed expansion, we have no time to lose. We must think and act boldly. We must restore the credibility of the U.S. strategic deterrent and also bolster our conventional forces in key theaters. We should help those who are fighting to prevent a community victory, as in Angola.

and those who are trying to overturn a communist victory, as in Afghanistan and Nicaragua.
Military power is only half the equation. We must take advantage of Moscow's flagging economic strength by Improving our own competitive position around the world. We should work to improve living conditions in the Third World to undercut the political appeal of communist slogans. We should make it clear that even if there were no communist threat in the developing world we would devote our efforts to reducing its pervasive poverty, disease, and Injustice. At the same time we must reaffirm our guiding values at home by finding new ways to enable all our citizens to share fully in America's success. We must solve the problems of the urban underclass, the homeless, and the poor. We must rectify the inequalities from which blacks and other minorities suffer.

Since Vietnam the leadership class has undermined the United States THE ULTIMATE IN ELEGANCE. in foreign policy by questioning its motives and Its principles. Its obsessive skepticism is one reason the new negativists argue that we have lost both the will to lead and the faith in ourselves that would enable us to lead.
nk .
To restore that faith we must look to our roots. Two centuries ago our newly-born nation caught the lmaginaUon of the world not because of its wealth or power, for it was poor and weak, but because of its Ideas. We need to restore faith in our ideals. In our destiny, and in ourselves. War produces unity in a common purpose and stretches man to his ultimate. We should reach for the same unity In peacetime. The total effort required to fight a war must be mobilized to oulld a better peace. The next generation of America's bent-educated young people Is the indispensable element In this effort.

'To successfully resolve the Earth's environmental crises. America's youth must be armed with both knowledge and understanding of the natural world around them." said Jack Lorenz. executive director of the Izaak Walton League. Hayes, who will chair the coordinating group, was also the national coordinator of the original Earth Day in 1970. That event, which was confined to the United States, had more than twenty million participants and is widely credited as marking the birth of the modern environmental movement. One striking difference between the 1990 event and its 1970 predecessor is the intent to link key organizers around the world in a stateof-the-art computer network. Organizers hope that the event will lead to a much higher degree of communication and cooperation among environmentalists around the world. Earth Day 1990 will be headquartered In San Fran Cisco and Washington. D. C. Its Interim address is: Box AA Stanford University California 94305.

The Mysterious Hole By ROB CHAPMAN There's a mystery at "Ingleside." No. not a murder, or a theft or any sort of hideous crime. It's simply a hole In the ground. But how can a hole be a mystery? It can In this case because It's located In the basement of the 190-year-old Ingleside home In Rice. Why Is It there? Who put It there? What purpose does It serve? These are all questions that even the most inquiring minds might want answered. But where can one go to get answers for questions like these? A detective perhaps. But. with a 190 year old home, the trail would have long been cold. A lawyer to research the legal documents might find some clue. But records from the 1800s often prove scanty at best. This leads us back to the hole Itself. Longwood College Anthropology professor James Jordan is an expert in such matters. Jordan, in an effort to find the answers to these questions, set out with a group of senior archeology students armed with a list of possibilities, shovels, brushes, and picks on an investigative expedition.
