By BETH A. LORD Students should be prepared for some parking changes after Spring Weekend. Due to the construction of the new library, the Lankford lot will need to be vacated before the morning of Monday, April 10. Cars can be moved to the lot designated for student parking behind Little Caesar's Pizza on Vernon Street. This change, among others, was proposed by the Parking Advisory Committee, made up of both administrators and students and appointed by Dr. Dorrill last spring.

Notices informing students that all cars need to be moved from the Lankford lot will be circulated in the dorms and on campus on Sunday. April 9. On the morning of the 10th, construction equipment will be moved onto the lot, which is the site of the new library. During that week, a fence will be built around the entire construction area. The ground-breaking ceremony Is scheduled for April 17. with actual digging beginning on the 18th. The closing of this lot will result in the loss of 130 parking spaces.

The Little Caesar's lot. with 176 spaces, has been leased

by the college for five years.

Students have expressed security concerns due to the fact that this is an off-campus parking lot. In response to this, the college will make sure that the area Is welllighted, secured with gates and barbed wire fencing, and patrolled by the police. Bythis fall, a video camera will be Installed for surveillance.

The town of Farmville is planning to extend the sidewalk from Little Caesar's to the corner so students will not have to walk in the street, This lot is designated only as "student parking" and is not restricted to either resident students or commuter students, Mr. Rick Hurley, chairman of the Parking Advisory Committee, encourages stu dents to be patient with the administration while these changes are taking place, "Whenever parking changes are made and problems sur face, adjustments should be made until such time as a good balance in the dlstribution of parking spaces is achieved. "By this fall, a new lot south of Lancer should be completed, and the lot In front of tnc Wynne building w111 ** enlarged.

SGA Votes (Continued from Page 1) the Longwood Ambassadors.

Flans for the court were proposed by Mike Klnzel representing many students who saw a need for an extra court.

Funding for the court is minimal since the digging will be done by Longwood s physical plant and the sand Is provided free of charge.

After much deliberation during the meetings the Student Government Association voted in favor of the court, and recommended that it be built in a mannerism not affecting Geist and Oktoberfest: as weU as other activities that occur on the mall. SGA Senate also compiled a committee which would work with the construction of the mall in order to maximize its attractiveness.

It was the consensus of the senate that this volleyball court could enhance student life here through Its use, and since there was already an existing court there, another one would be okay If located directly next to it. The senate does feel however, two courts are enough, and the remaining sections of the mall should beleft untouched.

President Drew Hudson and Greek Council Representative Rocco Tricarlco. abstained from the vote.

MNEWS Longwood No Exception To The Temptation of Plastic Money C3fc 'TfTTTTTTTTFTTTrfTTrfTTTTTTTTfTTTVTTT

By J.M. RUBIN (CPS) — American Express, known as a company for business executives and yuppies, unveiled a plan In midMarch to woo college undergrads.

With bait like cheap airline fares and magazine subscriptions, the huge financial services firm says It will start trying to tempt students at the 1,000 biggest campuses In the country to carry its credit card.

The move Is emblematic of a larger trend, various consumer advocates say. of students being able to get credit more easily during the last three years.

And many of the consumer advocates don't think the credit card companies' new Invasion of American campuses is a very good Idea. "(Students) are acquiring credit at a time when they are poorly suited to use it wisely." said Mike Heffer of Consumer Action, a San Francisco lobbying group, when told of the new American Express effort.

"Credit cards got me into financial trouble." agreed University of Houston senior Scott Fox. "I charged too much, and didn't have the money to pay for (it). I am in the process of paying them off now."

But the student market "is the right place to be now" to sell credit, said Celine Gallo of American Express (Amex). adding undergrads probably will prove a good source of business for the company in the future.

"It's Important to start early with people who will be better earners." she said, notIng students are Just starting to form brand loyalties. The credit card companies make their money by claiming three-to seven percent of each purchase made with their cards, and by charging customers interest on the unpa interest on their bills.

As anyone who's had a brochure slipped into bookstore purchases or seen booths set up at student unions can attest. American Express' ambitious new effort is only the most recent foray onto campuses for credit card companies, which until Just a few years ago considered students as risky and probably Incapable of repaying loans regularly.

For example. Bank of America, which owns a big part of VISA, began aggressively marketing to students in 1986 when. B of A spokeswoman Susan Clevenger said. students '*''*'

"became more responsible.'

Of course, there was nothing magical that happened In 1986 that suddenly changed students Into more responsible credit users, observed University of Florida finance

Prof. Arnold Heggestad.

The answer to why credit card companies abruptly decided they wanted to start signing up students had more to do with demographics — there are fewer credit-worthy adults to be wooed these days — and the economy, he said.

"If the economy is strong," Heggestad noted, "it's a safe bet seniors will get Jobs when they graduate."

"And to be futuristic for a moment." he added. "10 years from now the paper society — checks — will be gone. The companies that can put their plastic in people's pockets will be the big winners. The college market is more receptlve to change, so they may be the best group to grow into."

"Their purpose." Consumer Action's Heffer believes, "is to create a population of adults tuned Into the credit world."

So Citicorp in New York, which started asking students to carry credit cards in the mid-eighties, has issued about 1.5 million VISAs to students, a company spokesman reported.

By contrast, "only" some 500.000 students carry American Express cards now.

To catch up to VISA and MasterCard, "we're proposing an Integrated marketing program that Includes the cards, along with benefits and services tailored to the needs of students." Gallo said.

Students "accepted" by Amex get a $600 credit limit.

Some students and campus advisers, however, wonder if it's a good thing for students. '/////

Thirty-five percent of the students who asked Universlty of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) for extra financial aid from 1986 to 1988 said they needed it to repay credit card debts. UCLA counselor

John Hoyt said.

Iowa State University financial counselor Ann Swift said she's seen an increase in the number of students suffering from high credit card debts in recent years, and that some contemplate bankruptcy.

Only 40 percent of credit

card holders nationally pay their monthly bill. The other 60 percent have an average monthly balance of $1,600." said Swift.

Credit card abuse has become so common that the University of Southern Maine holds a session about students and credit cards at its freshman orientation. Indiana University of Houston senior Rlchelle Williams said.

I was always in the hole. I cut (the cards) up. and kept paying on them to get rny financial situation together."

The credit card companies. of course, see their efforts dlfferentlv "We're extending the notion of financial responsibility." contended Amex's Betsy Ludlow. "Students have needs for a financial Instrument Just like anyone."

Gallo maintained the Amex cards give students "less opportunity to overspend" because they're required to pay off their balances each month.

"I believe they are good in emergencies." Houston's Fox agreed.

Time Will Tell On Parking Changes Next Monday, the Lankford resident and day student lots are scheduled to be closed to let the Avis construction company begin the building of Longwood's new library.

Consequently, the last days of the 1989-90 academic school year are going to be perceived as a bit inconvenient for those resident students with cars on campus. They will be forced for the most part to park somewhere outside of the campus.

This small change lasting less than a month will pass quickly as will the 18 months it will take to complete the library. Complaints about the parking no doubt will be discounted as petty and unsubstantial, and justifiably so.

But, where the Parking Advisory Committee went wrong in its redistribution of spaces, was designating the lot behind Little Caesars for resident students. The elaborate plans to secure this area such as police monitored camera, emergency phones, lights, fences, and locking the fence at dusk would not even be necessary if these spaces were designated for day students.

As per their classification — day students, indicates, they come to Longwood during the day and leave during the day.

This Is ideal for the parking lot that becomes a security nightmare after the sun goes down not only because of the threat of cars being broken into, but more serious, students being assaulted.

This is not an issue of day students vs. resident students. but one centering around safety and the school's operating of a quasi impounding lot that unduly constricts the movement of resident students after dark.

It is encouraging that the concluding paragraph of the Parking Advisory Committee's report states that none of the changes should be viewed as permanent. It simply appears that their desire to have day students as close as possible to their classes, and subsequently when they leave at night, more parking spots for those visiting the campus for events, overrode the issue of what is in the best interests of the resident students.

Nothing is more important to the college community than the safety and well being of its students. And let's hope the present changes will go forward without a hitch, but with all changes, time will tell Just how effective they will be.

The clamor over the recent oil spill in Prince William we as a nation find some substitute to oil that we can stomach, Sound in Alaska has prompted many environmental groups to (nuclear power has the bad name as dangerous) then spills and push Congress and the President to reevaluate their positions their rather disastrous environmental effects are ca'culafed on further exploration of Alaska's North Slope, which would risks.

Currently, the North Slope produces about 2 million barrels of oil per day which equals about 25% of United States domestic supply. If this were to be curtailed and future exploration killed, the U.S. would need to turn more heavily to importing, which is dangerous because it makes the U.S. vulnerable to a repeat of the gas shortages of the seventies and the runaway inflation that arguably was a result.

The Exxon Valdez spilled approximately 10 million gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound since human error grounded it on a well-marked reef. Exxon has been under fire for its slow clean-up effort which Is a result of an unrealistic contingency plan.

Administration Needs A Second Look At Restoration Dear Editor, I am writing this article in reaction to the "restoration" now being done in the school's Rotunda. As an historic preservation major, I am appalled at what the administration has let happen. First of all why not call the Rotunda by what it is - a dome, nothing more. A true Rotunda's arc should be able to touch ground level if an Imaginary circle was drawn

Let's Look At Today Dear Editor.

In the past two years we have heard and read about the "Master Plan" of Longwood College. We have cheered such items as a new phone system, increased parking space, a new computer lab. ... etc...

However other items such as new dormitories and increased enrollment to 3500+ as well as the destruction of and expansion into adjacent neighborhoods are a cause for concern. I feel the College should address the important issues of quality living conditions, education, and a streamlined bureaucracy before expanding.

Longwoods computer sys-

tem has failed to submit hall GPA's on time in the past few years, there are days in which the Fianancial Aid Office is unable to locate specific records, and Cashiering and Student Accounts repeatedly sends erroneous bills to students as well as keeping records on the computer in nonchronological as well as Illogical order. I could go on and on about the SNAFU s at Longwood College (and other colleges and universities) but I Just want to point out that there is much work to be done in the present and at this moment before looking into Longwood's future.

Dean Grubbs

Student Emotionally Defends Friend Dear Editor: After reading the article in last week's Rotunda.

"Students Voices must be Heard not Railroaded." 1 feel compelled to write a reply. I totally agree with the headline and have stated so many times. The story that supports the headline, however, is filled with untrue statements.

The writer of this article, which was not signed, clearly did little if any research on the subject or the topic before making this bold statement.

The issue of the new sand court is not a new topic. The idea was discussed several

times last year. I feel the SGA Senate was correct in its vote last Thursday and should be commended for taking a strong stand on the facts not the false perceptions presented in last week's article.

Students' voices are important, very Important.

There is only one problem. No one can make students be concerned or Interested.

Students must be involved in the process, not Just sit back and wait until the process is finished and then complain.

The statement that bothers me the most is that my former vice president Tim Hale was trying to go behind

Master Plan For Continuing

someone's back or that he was not interested in student concerns. If you don't know Tim Hale, read his statements in the front of your handbook, His statement clearly shows what kind of person Tim Hale is. Tim Hale has done more for Longwood than most anyone. Who do you think fought for more parking and actually got results? Who do you think led the election process that had tremendous student involvement? Who was it that argued for lower tuition and fees for students and got results? The answer is Tim Hale. The reason I bring this to your attention is because there are so few students that really go out of their way to defend students' rights and I don't like to see a good hard worker falsely accused. Tim Hales record as a student leader and a student activist Is one that can match anyone's. That's the facts.

If I could give the writer of that article some advice? I know catchy controversial headlines get results. In the future, however, don't make statements unless you have facts to support those statements. The Rotunda is not the place to discuss someone's character.

Respectifully submitted.

Ricky L. Otey Ricky Otey is a past SGA President.

completely around. Our Rotunda would not even touch the third floor!

Secondly the "Rotunda" was built in 1905. not the mid 18th century as the furniture and draperies.now put in. would have us believe.

What's wrong with 1905. Why try to trick the public and pass it off as something it is not?

The furniture, a poor imitation of Chinese Chip-

pendale. (I assume), has no place there, and by the look of it, anywhere else. If Ihey want Ml accurate portrayal of the school and the "Rotunda", why not put in appropriate furniture, like Victorian style?

What also needs to be done is a paint study to see what color the walls actually were. not Just another coat of paint, (This one will make the fifth!)

They even refused Mr. Couture's offer to do it himself!

How can a student feel he or she is getting a good education from his or her teacher when the administration itself refuses the help of its departments, such as History and Art? We have some excellent teachers at this school who know what should or should not be done in restoration and in building new structures. Why doesn't the school wake up and use its own fine resources?

It Is also inaccurate of them to paint the floor boards a bright color, the original was dark brown; which it should be to cover up shoe marks and dents.

I am glad to see other students upset at what the Renovations At Lawnwood administration has done for Editor's Note: Because the now can we students feel a Letter To The Editor, "Student Part of tnls school when our Emotionally Dejends Friend," advice and Judgement is not includes many shallow accu asked or counted?

Game time is 3:00 at the Farmvtlle Armory Field.

Longwood outhit its first opponent. Coastal Carolina, 30-26. but could not put the runs across. Jill Everett went 2-4 and scored a run. A. D. Miller absorbed the loss. She allowed seven runs on seven hits, fanned one and walked five. Miller's record is 3-6.

LC Sweeps Tigers Longwood's baseball team won four of six games last week, sweeping twlnbllls from Virginia State and St. Paul's and losing single games to Division I foes Liberty and Richmond. The Lancers, 18-7. don't play again until Saturday when they travel to Christopher-Newport.

Maryland Eastern Shore will visit Sunday for two games, starting at 1:00.

The Lancers beat St. Paul's 11 -0 and 7-1 last Sunday and took two from Virginia State Wednesday 11-1 and 5-0.

Friday. Richmond pinned a 41 defeat on Longwood. and last Monday the Division I Flames whipped the Lancers 17-4.

Highlighting the week was the play of senior pitcher E. J. Bryant, who got both wins against Virginia State, and junior tri-captain Robbie Smith, whose consecutive game hitting streak reached 16 before he went hitless in four trips at Richmond. Smith beat the old record for game hitting streak of 13 which Jeff Rohm set in 1986.

Bryant. 5-0. pitched a total of 11 Innings Wednesday against Virginia State, allowing an unearned run. four walks, and seven hits. He struck out 10 and shared the second game shutout with sophomore Dennis Hale who pitched the last two innings.

Hale struck out four and gave up one hit.

Bryant lowered his earned run averaged to 1.39. The righthander has given up Just five earned runs In 32.3 innings of work this spring. In addition he has two saves. 20 strikeouts and just six walks, while giving up just 20 hits.

Just as they did in the sweep of Virginia State. Smith and senior tri-captain Bill Conroy led the way as Longwood beat St. Paul's 11-0 in Sunday's opening game.

Smith had two homers and four RBI and Conroy drove In four runs with a homer and a single. Smith now has a team-high seven homers and 25 runs-batted-in for the season.

Longwood collected 14 hits In support of sophomore lefthander Tim Patrick who moved his record to 3-0 with four Innings of work. Patrick allowed Just one hit while walking one and striking out four. Jeff Parr pitched the fifth and final inning as the contest was called on the 10run rule.

In the nightcap, a pinchhit grand slam homer by Parr in the sixth sparked Longwood to a 7-1 victory. Conroy.

Chris Cherry and Mark Moeller had two hits each for the Lancers. Parr hit his first collegiate homer following singles by Cherry. Scott Abell and Eric Kllllnger.

Freshman Steve Blood picked up his first win with three innings of shutout relief. Blood pitched the fifth, sixth and seventh Innings, striking out five and allowing one hit. Bryant pitched to one batter In the fourth In

relief of starter Steve Gedro.

Gedro struck out nine In 3 2/3 Innings while giving up a homer to Clarence Tennell and a total of five hits.

Richmond pitcher Mark Sweeny limited Longwood to six hits and one run Friday as the Spiders took a 4-1 win on their home field. Junior Pete Crisclone and senior Greylin Rice, who had two hits each, teamed up to produce the lone Lancer run.

With two outs in the third.

Rice singled and went to second on a wild pitch. Crisclone followed with a double, scoring Rice.

Richmond scored all four of Its runs off Longwood starter Dennis Hale who gave up 11 hits in six innings of work. Hale is now 2-2 for the season. Freshman Buddy Williams struck out four and gave up one hit over the final two innings.

Veterans Vince Osbom and Mike Pugh picked up wins at No. 3 and No. 5 singles and teamed up for a victory at No. 2 doubles, leading the Longwood men's tennis team to a 5-4 triumph over Bridgewater Wednesday afternoon In Farmvllle.

Osborn won his singles match 7-5. 6-4 over David Bird. Pugh won at No. 5 by a 7-6. 7-6 count over Tim Eye. Osborn and Pugh then beat Bird and Eye 5-7. 6-1. 6-3 In doubles.
