International Week Kicks Off CamOUS Safety PATR1C HOWARD PATRIC HOWARD Staff Writer

On Thursday afternoon, an International Exchange Panel Discussion was held in Salon A of the Dining Hall Annex.

The purpose of the panel was to enlighten Longwood students to the opportunities and advantages of studying abroad.

The faculty for the panel included Longwood Faculty members Dr. Stephen Keith, Dr.

Raymond Cormier, Dr. Lily Goetz, Dr. Earl Gibbons (Dean of the Business School), Dr. John Reynolds, and Dr. Nancy Cripple.

A faculty member of HampdenSydney's study abroad program was also in attendance.

Though the seminar itself was lightly attended by Longwood's student body, the panel was able to impart a good deal of wisdom and a few memorable stories from their past experiences abroad.

Dr. Keith shared stories both good and bad. The latter came at a time when Dr. Keith took some of his students on a three week practicum to Honduras, where they visited a bilingual school, and were encouraged to shadow and ask Honduran teachers about everything.

One student claimed she had pretty much learned everything necessary after two days.

EDITORIAL

PAGE 2 I consider myself to be an unusally blessed person. I have never had to endure more than I could handle as a person, and I think I am extraordinarily happy.

With Thanksgiving fast approaching I have been asking myself what I feel most grateful for this year.

In light of recent events I believe a great deal of consideration will be given to this matter around tables all across our country.

I don't just have two parents, but two best friends. They live just IS minutes away and while I can occasionally feel the constraint which that puts on college life, I am always grateful they are just a phone call away.

Last week I was depressed when a broken transmission kept my boyfriend from coming to see me and my dad surprised me with dinner and a movie. It meant the world to me, especially because doesn't even really like going to the movies. They are truly the greatest parents anyone could ever ask for.

I have so many other great people in my life. I have a wonderful grandmother, who is a great listener and more good friends than I ever thought possible, including all those I've made on the paper this year.

My boyfriend is one of my greatest blessings. Fatebfoughus together 1,500 miles from home in Colorado and we've never looked back.

When I was ten I inherited a collection of 3,000 Harlequin Romance novels. Once you read enough of them, it becomes pretty hard to match up in real life. Matt does. Our romance has been filled with enough magic and adventure to far oudast the requisite 107 pages any Harlequin manages to.

Beyond these things, I am grateful for so many of the things I am able to take for granted each day.

I always have enough to eat. I don't live in fear. As a woman I am counted to be worth as much as a man (as long as we aren't talking pay equity or an Equal Rights Amendment, sorry I couldn't resist) I live in a country where I can sit here and write freely about my views on our government while my best friend's husband ships out on the U.S.S. Stennis to defend my right to do so. Even though I may be writing about how wrong he is to do so. That is the value we place on freedom and we so unapologetically.

All articles, advertisements, letters to the editor, and pictures must be received by five p.m. the Friday prior to the next Friday's publication.

K\\ letters to the editor must be typed and include name and telephone lumber. Any person wishing to have his/her name not appear on the >ublished letter must request so in writing. All letters are subject to editng.

The Rotunda is an equal opportunity employer and is looking for beople who are interested in writing or layout. We currently have posiions available and ask anyone who is interested to come to our meetngs, Mondays at 5:30 p.m.

Some letters to the editor have been edited for space constraints

Letter to the Editor

This concerns all the letters to the editor about the dining hall, and, personally, I am sick of looking at them.

To start this off, I have read each of the many articles concerning what they[students] would like to see.

Yes, each of us has paid thousands of dollars to eat the food provided for us at breakfast, lunch, and light lunch and at the dinner times; of course you want to see food that YOU consider to be edible for YOUR body.

If you have a complaint, you can always go to a manager or a student supervisor (one of the green shirts) and let them know what is going on.

Also, I don't know if you all realize this or not, but they have these cool little cards that you can put your suggestions onhey, WHY NOT USE THEM! These suggestion cards ARE looked at by the ARAMARK Managers. There are many ways that you can get your opinion out there before going to the paper to announce it to the entire Longwood world.

In one letter to the editor from "Natalie," she stated that she just couldn't understand why stealing stuff from the dining hall is a problem.

Hmm-wonder why- only that it's an honor violation; along with stealing anything else such ashtrays, silverware, bowls, plates, cups., etc.

Did you really need to name call? You could've asked if you could take something out of the dining hall.

Don't ask the student workers, you could've asked the person who told you that stealing Longwood Dining Hall materials was a bad thing to do.

She is an awesomely nice person, and just because you had a disagreement doesn't mean that she is a totally inhumane person.

She is one of the nicest ladies.

For the article about wanting more fruit and such, maybe there isn't a tremendous request for fruit. Majority rules in this case.

If there is something you

need, talk to one of the managers; they are all friendly people and want to help you with whatever you need.

I am disappointed in Longwood's students for their thinking (or lack thereof) and the way they come across.

Now if there are people running around with big carts of plates, do you honestly think it is wise to walk in front of them? Do you realize that the carts do not have breaks?

I am also disappointed that individuals are acting like children by putting their heads under the soft serve ice cream machine.

I am disappointed that ARAMARK employees and student workers are treated unfairly for their speed of retrieving something or if they were misunderstanding of what food you would like to eat.

There are a lot of things surrounding the workers, and sometimes you just have to repeat yourself.

I am disappointed that individuals attending Longwood College have enough decency to walk around collecting food items they want to eat, but as soon as they are done eating their food they leave everything on the tables.

Yes, the employees get paid to work, but do not get paid to be your maid. You can get written up for leaving trays on the table, did you know that? I think you do now.

ARAMARK employees work a lot and sometimes do not get to go check on the dining area until later on in the shift and if there are plates, cups, trays, spills everywhere, it makes the amount of time they have on the actual serving area diminish.

How can you honestly say anything about the dining hall unless you have walked in our shoes? Have YOU worked long hours and served impatient college students?

Common sense people, that's all it is. These ARAMARK people are the best people you will ever know, and, personally, I am disgusted at how they are

treated.

What gives YOU the right to first off say anything about these wonderful people whose main goal is to serve you?

Shouldn't you be doing something to thank them? Their job is not easy but it is rewarding.

To know that you helped someone live a longer day by nourishing his or her body and brain is a good feeling to have.

If you look at any other college, their food may or may not be as delectable as Longwood's Dining Hall, but YOU were the one who asked to attend here.

College is a time for learning new things, finding out what we need to do in order to be what we want to be, which we might end up with, etc., and sometimes it doesn't seem that way.

I do not know if Longwood's students feel that in this quaint little town of Farmville the only thing to complain about is the service and selection of food at the dining hall, but seriously people, they are trying.

If you have any concerns, you should put them in the box.

And just because they might not get answered right away, maybe that means something,- like, oh I don't know, maybe they are preparing your food in order to nourish your body and your brain well enough to get you to class or get you throughout the day.

You are in college now learning to be whatever you want to be and do. You are considered an adult, so start acting and thinking like one.

If there is something you would like to see more often, why not talk to one of the managers or put in a suggestion. I once had a suggestion about cheesecake and the next day there was some sitting out on the dessert bar. (Thank you for that by the way.)

They are nice people and want to help you. How about a show of gratitude next time? Why not a simple thank you and a smile for all their hard work for preparing your food, for you?

Editor's Note: Letters to the Editor are published as a forum for discussion. They are not statements of fact but rather reflect the opinion of the author. They do not in any way reflect the opinion of this staff. We make every attempt to publish every letter we receive. This section is meant to encourage dialogue on campus and response letters are both welcomed and accepted.

I expect to have this concluded sometime during the Spring Semester pending the outcome of elections.

I plan to compile this information into a report and distribute it to all the agencies involved including the student body.

If the conclusions in the report are justifiably student profiling then I will request that Farmville react appropriately or we will take legal actions to resolve this issue through proper channels.

This is my personal commitment and may not wholly reflect the opinion of the Administration.

However, it is important to note that there is always constant dialogue with the Office of Student Affairs and other offices to help rectify this on-going issue.

I speak regularly with all major administrative offices and can personally assure you that they do not support any practices which involve student profiling, harassment, or any other illegal practice.

Finally, if anyone has any information regarding student profiling and harassment, they should feel free to contact me at mwparris @longwood.lwc.edu.

It is important to get the badge number or name of the officer to help pinpoint the problem at its source.

Again, strides are being made through cooperative efforts; however, something like this hasto be thorough and takes some time to ensure it is credible and performed correctly.

Verbal Diarrhea ROYAYRES Staff Writer In the wake of the new year, we should all come to grips with the fact that certain things we grew up with during childhood just aren't true.

The moon is not made of green cheese, the cow did not really jump over the moon but around it, and the tooth fairy did not leave us money.

You see, I've got a bone to pick with the tooth fairy. That double-crossing jerk has stiffed me out of all the money he owes me.

I figure there are about 20 preliminary teeth you grow up with before you begin growing in the adult teeth.

In my day, the average rate of a baby tooth was about 1 dollar. That's 20 bucks worth of teeth

I'm out of, and it doesn't end there!

I've been charging interest since my last baby tooth, which fell out about 10 years ago.

I've added 25 cents for every month that the tooth fairy did not cough up the cash, so the overall total comes out to 2,400 bucks.

This may be childish to some, but when you're in college you have certain expenses such as alcohol and adult entertainment.

These things will not be denied; they will be fueled! And 2,400 dollars is a lot of money to anyone, let alone a college student.

So I say to this tooth fairy: give me my money or I'll tell the dentists where you are, and you know how they feel about you!

Since then, strong competition has driven prices way down, which has been good for consumers.

Today, however, the industry is changing, with traditional long distance calling volumes remaining flat or declining due to new technologies - the use of cell phones and the Internet as a substitute for such calls.

"In sum, the telecommunications industry is going through some very tough times right now.

I have never seen times as uncertain as they are right now.

I have been accused of being something of a Pollyanna, so it is no surprise I take a positive view of the future.

Good behavior is also one of the most sought after qualities that an R.A. should possess.

Disciplinary probation is not allowed for any of the resident advisors.

The qualities that are most desired in an R.A. are responsibility, open-mindedness, motivation, and above all else being able to meet the emotional needs of the residents.

There are a few drawbacks

The amount of free time is also affected; sometimes plans are must be scheduled around the duties involved with the position.

Between the weekly meetings, rounds, desk duties, studies, and other activities, there is little personal time.

Former R.A., Abigal Evans, states why being an R.A. is so great, "there are many benefits to being a RA.

What I love is the fact that I can be there to help someone in times of need. I love being a role model, as well, and hope that I do my job well.

The greatest benefit, however, is probably meeting new people and knowing that you are making you college experience even greater because you have many peers to interact with and hang out with!"

Former AT&T executive visits Longwood, discusses telecommunications industry A former AT&T executive who recently visited Longwood discussed technological advances, mergers and acquisitions, and profit margins in the telecommunications industry, but she illustrated one development with a personal anecdote.

"My son works three blocks from the World Trade Center, and I tried to reach him on his cell phone on the morning of September 11," said Wilma R. "Willi" McCarey.

"Like everyone else, I couldn't reach him. Fortunately, he was line and was home by 11 o'clock.

In fact, he didn't even make it into the city; he lives in New Jersey and commutes by train, and everyone was taken off the train and watched the events from the New Jersey side of the river.

Because the train station under the World Trade Center was ruined, now he takes a ferry to get across the river. He passes 'ground zero' every day."

NOVEMBER 16, 2001 SAFETY cont'd p. 1 years, they have noticed changes on the campus. The most obvious would be the addition of the blue emergency phones on campus. Eighteen emergency phones were placed in different locations, mostly near parking lots, during the fall 2000 semester. The phones' purpose is mostly for use when there is an emergency, but they can also be used late at night to get an escort to take you home.

The emergency phones are not even the newest addition to Longwood College.

During the 2000-2001 academic year, Longwood College began locking the front outside doors to the lobbies of the dormitories at 12:00AM Sunday-Thursday and 2:00AM Friday-Saturday. The way to gain entrance into the lobby was through unlocking the door with a room key.

At the start of the current academic year this changed with the new systems. Instead of using a room key to enter the lobby students gain access with their ID's.

The hours of the outside doors being locked remained the same as the previous year until the September 11 th terrorist attack.

Since the terrorist attack the doors have remained locked at all times.

Even though there have been several new additions in the past couple of years, Longwood College has always had a strong security system.

Though there are lighted walkways, student's walking at night can always call x2091 and campus police or a student in Night Walkers will escort them back to the dormitory. The Longwood College Police Department has a full-time staff and the dispatch center has some one answering the phones 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Studentfs can also view safety and Security tips at HYPERLINK "http:// web.lwc.edu/housing/safety.htm" http://web.lwc.edu/housing/ safety.htm.

Longwood is dedicated to keeping students safe on and off campus. They have increased security measures on campus and have began working with the Farmville Police department to hold students accountable for their actions off campus.

Best of the Best Honored for Service at Greek Dinner ANNIE HUNSBERGER Staff Writer Members of the Greek societies gathered November 14 in the grand ballroom of the dining hall to honor those who went above and beyond the expccted.carning the title "The Best of the Best."

Affiliates of the Interfralernity Council (IFC), National Panhellemc Council and those belonging to the Pan Hellenic Council, came dressed in their best to support their fellow Greeks.

The Best of the Best Awards is held every year to honor those Greeks who have been nominated by their chapters as someone who best exemplifies the ideals and heart of their organization.

The event commenced with Dr. Shockley speaking of her experiences as an Alpha Chi Omega

at the College of Kansas. She believes that the negative stereotypes associated with the Greek society were created partly from pop culture giving examples from the 1980s hit "Animal House," with Greek organizations becoming the "punching bags" of our culture.

Olivia Acosta, Longwood's new Head of Greek Affairs, presented certificates of achievements to those Greek members who earned a 3.5 cumulative average and those who earned a 4.0 this semester here at Longwood.

Members of Rho Lambda including Rebecca Allen. Jen Black, Avery Johnson, Paula Simnowiitz, and Jeanette Amorosa, acknowledged Amy Lyon member of Delta Zeta Sorority and Andrea Rowe member of Kappa Delta Sorority for their outstanding contributions.

Order of Omega followed suit recognizing their new mem-

bers Amber Eavers, Ashley West, Laura Weinhurst, Carrie Garp, Rachael Kcsler, Rachael Yanta, Sally Maher, and Shannon Burks.

The long anticipated award for Best of the Best had finally come.

] New Interactive Service for Longwood College FEATURES

NOVEMBER 16, 2001

MORGAN MAHAN Staff Writer Come springtime, logging on to Longwood's website will never be the same. In addition to the structural renovations already underway on campus, the school's technological approach is receiving a make-over just as rigorous.

Any LWC student who engages in campus events, enters the student union, or participates in a intercollegiate activity is prone to have heard about SIN; Student Information Network, the brainchild of Senior Anthropologist major, Gordon Van Ness IV. "SIN is dedicated to bringing the students the latest information about college life and the surrounding Farmville area. SIN is the unification of a college campus through words, thoughts, ideas, and the peaceful exchange of information. SIN is made by

students, for students."

SIN will allow a student or staff member to enter into an interactive palm pilot-type program customized to meet the needs of a person living inside the globe of Longwood College upon typing sin.lwc.edu; into the address bar.

Active with his hall council freshman year of Fall '98, Van Ness realized the limitations of communicating campus activities, programs, issues, etc. through the distribution of flyers and messages on sidewalks rewritten in chalk.

He looked for ways to ameliorate this weakness, and the idea of an interactive planner available through a computer formed in his mind; practically every student owns a computer.

"Regardless of that person's interests, goals, or vocations, they are going to wake up and do some kind of work on their

Longwood Gets Blurred STEPHANIE RIGGSBY Public Relations Manager

On Wednesday, November 14, members of the English and Art Departments put on Blur Between the Arts, an "exhibition converging on poetry and the visual arts."

Many members of both departments came out in support of the program.

The program featured friends and classmates Anthony Rivera and John McLaughlin, as well as artists Kate Mason,

Garth Fry, J. Eiden and Artist of the Month Michael Williams.

Rivera and Williams created the program for their Writing Poetry class, taught by Dr. Hood Frazier. While some students opted for smaller projects, they wanted something bigger.

Not only did the exhibition feature art work, but an open mic was offered for all interested in reading their work.

Most of the artists presented their written work, as well as members of Dr. Frazier's class.

Other presenters included Carrie Schafer, an English major and Masha Graf, an Elementary Education major.

Graf read from her collection entitled Lunch Box Poems, Inc. Dr. Craig Challender and Dr. Frazier presented works of their own.

MickyFinn was on hand to play some accoustic numbers while students and professors perused the artwork.

The Rotunda's own Michael Lawrence presented work of his own, which garnered a great response

Vaughn and Lee bring originality to WLCX MATT TAYLOR Staff Writer

Once again, the Rotunda explores the inner workings behind Longwood's radio station WLCX through its DJs. This week, we spotlight two influential board members; Willard A. Vaughn and Greta Lee. Name and information: Willard is a 20 year-old sophomore and has been at WLCX for one semester. Show name: 'The Best in College Radio."

Time: Every Friday from 10pm till 12am and every Saturday 9pm-2am with Matt Burnham. Music played: Everything.

Willard enjoys being a DJ because: "[I am] able to entertain people, whether it's one person or 24,000. That and playing music."

Other responsibilities: Willard is WLCX's Music Director. His job is "to keep in contact with record companies, make sure our music is updated to coordinate with my assistant music directors and keep the board members and other members of WLCX informed of what I'm doing."

Plans after Longwood: "I don't know what 1 want to do when I grow up. Right now I'm

just having fun doing what I'm doing."

Most interesting event that happened on the air: "We actually did a live remote from the Wheeler front desk."

Last words: "Don't believe everything you hear about the station, listen to it and make your own opinion."

Name and information: Greta is a 19 year-old sophomore and has been at WLCX for three semesters.

Show name: "The Country Show." Time: Every Sunday from 3-5. Music played: Country. Greta enjoys being a DJ because: "I like the music."

Other responsibilities: Greta is WLCX's Program Director. "1 assign time slots to people and listen to make sure their shows are going well."

Plans after Longwood.

"Hopefully, I'll work for a professional station; country station of course."

Most interesting event that happened on the air; "I got a request for monkey sounds. A guy from Piedmont called when he got out and told me how much he enjoyed listening to my show while he was in there."

Last Words: "If you like country music and want to be part of the station, you can come be my partner."

Sigma Sigma Sigma KRISTIN HELMSTETTER Staff Writer On April 20, 1898 a group of women never imagined that the secret society they founded, known as Sigma Sigma Sigma, would go any farther than Longwood College.

Founded at the State Female Normal School, known as Longwood College today, Tri-Sigma consists of 185 chapters with 104 being active. Sigma Sigma Sigma is the longest continuing presence at Longwood College and has remained an active chapter since its founding in 1898.

Sigma Sigma Sigma is the first sorority to install a hearing impaired chapter, a chapter in Alaska and an overseas chapter with its Eta Mu chapter in Mannheim, Germany at the University of Maryland-Mannheim. TriSigma is also the only sorority to establish and maintain its own philanthropy. The Robbie Page Memorial

(RPM) was originally established to help find a cure for polio, but later switched over to play therapy for terminally-ill children.

Longwood's Alpha chapter was awarded five national recognitions at National Convention over the summer.

These awards are: The Triennial Music Program, Initiation Success, Honor Roll, Standards of Efficiency, Recruitment Efficiency, and the Scholastic Honor Roll Citation.

Tri-Sigma's colors are royal purple and white. The sorority's flower is the purple violet and the jewel is the pearl.

The national symbol of Sigma Sigma Sigma is the sailboat, representing a continual forward motion and never moving backward. The Alpha chapter's local symbol is the butterfly exemplifying eternal friendship.

However, the Sigmas here at Longwood have the most fun with the skull and crossbones

symbol. This symbol is one of loyalty and represents the open motto: "Faithful Unto Death."

It is not unusual to see a mem-

ber of Sigma Sigma Sigma sporting attire with the skulland-crossbones.

Spring semester of 2001, Sigma initiated thirteen new members and this fall they initiated eight. The sisters partake in many activities together including service projects, road trips, dinners and more. On November 18 at 3:00pm, Sigma Sigma Sigma will co-sponsor a Cystic Fibrosis Walk and a cookout to follow with the brothers of Delta Sigma Pi. The members have many memories of sisterhood to take with them wherever they go. The friendships and bonds that the sisters of Sigma Sigma Sigma share are undescribable. In Tri-Sigma, you're not just a sister in college, you're a sister for life.

Faculty Spotlight - Professor of Graphic Design, Christopher Register KEVIN BOPP Staff Writer

Not too many students are aware of the professional positions our professors have held before teaching here at Longwood College.

Christopher Register, professor of Graphic Design at Longwood College, has been extremely successful throughout his professional career.

After receiving his Master's degree in painting, printmaking, and design theory at George Washington University, Register got a job as a design chief for the American Rifle magazine.

After working there for three and a half years, Register was later hired at Time Life as an assistant art director where he worked on Time Life books, such as Understanding Computers, The Civil War, and True Crime.

In 1994, he was elected to

work in the trade division as the Director of Design in Trade Publishing. There he worked with the Discovery Channel, Mrs. Field's Cookies, William Sonoma, the U.S. Postal Service, and many others.

Throughout his career, Register aided in the design of hundreds of books. "I worked on thirty books a season," he said.

In addition to his success as an art director, Register is also internationally known for his fine art skills. Across the country, his paintings have been accepted in a variety of shows.

He has also won various awards for his work, such as a first place award in the Mazza Gallery in Washington, DC, and a Purchase Award at George Washington University where his collection still remains.

In 1983, he was commissioned by the NRA to do three paintings and twenty-five drawings for the National Shooting

Match.

Despite his success in the real world, Christopher Register's academic career in college was difficult. He started out pursuing a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a concentration in photography at George Washington University.

However, during the summer before his senior year, Register's portfolio was destroyed in a dangerous flood.

Because of the destruction of his portfolio, he switched his concentration to drawing during his senior year.

Since he arrived at Longwood College in 1998, Register has helped the art department tremendously. "[1} brought in expertise in graphic design and real world experience," said Register.

Within four years, he has introduced to the students a graphic design program where he initiated an internship lab in

Bedford, and a stronger graphic design program in Stoa, the multi-media lab at Longwood College.

Register has also run galleries at Longwood College, and has been a part of the committee that helped develop the Communications concentration.

Last year, he also brought Barry Moser, one of the country's most renowned typographers and illustrators, to speak at Longwood College and to teach workshop classes in typography and illustration to the art majors.

Almost every Graphic Design major at Longwood College is privileged having Christopher

Register as their professor.

"He tells you what type of caliber employees want to hire in the Graphic Design business," said Brian Jones, a senior Graphic Design major.

Over a majority of the Graphic Design majors in the class of 2000 have received excellent jobs in their concentration within three months after graduation.

Many art majors agree that Register is a professional, but modest individual, who knows how to get the job done.

Register's expertise and professionalism serves to combine both the work ethic and pride to Longwood College.

"Shrek" comes to video DAVID BECKER Staff Writer

Fans of animated films rejoice! The new special edition of "Shrek" is out on videocassctte!

The new video still has all the hilarious qualities of the original but now boasts an all-new extended ending, including a karaoke style sing along.

Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) is a cynical ogre whose swampy home has been overrun with annoying fairy tale characters. Growing tired of the antics of the intruders, he enters into a bargain with the scheming Lord Farquaad (voiced by John Lithgow) to clear the swamp and give him the deed to the land if he can rescue the princess from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon.

The feisty Princess Fiona (voiced by Cameron Diaz) has been waiting for her knight in shining armor her whole life and is all but thrilled to find a green

ogre under the mask. At first, she is hesitant to befriend her rescuer, but soon learns that they have more in common than she thinks.

Also, from the beginning of the movie, Shrek can't seem to get rid of a wiseass ass named Donkey, voiced by Eddie Murphy.

First he only annoys Shrek but soon he becomes his sidekick and teaches him a valuable lesson about friendship, something that is unfamiliar to the endearing ogre.

Although one would think that this movie is strictly for kids, "Shrek" proves that films work on many levels. Many of the jokes

in this movie arc sure to zoom way above kid's heads and make the adult viewer ask their self, "Did they just say that?" At one point, during Shrek's crusade to save Princess Fiona his friend, Donkey is caught by the dragon.

Fiona asks Shrek why they aren't leaving and Shrek replies, "I have to save my ass."

Although kids may not pick up on the mature jokes, the numerous burping and farting are sure to bring a smile to their faces.

The movie is perfect for people of all ages and leaves the viewer feeling warm and fuzzy all over.

I think this movie is Shrektastic!

larly arresting, in particular "Dog Door," a collaboration with one of Linkous' musical predecessors Tom Waits. Linkous, in addition to singing, plays "metal things,' giving it a distinct yet disturb ing flavor. "King of Nails" is another piercing assault, with brittle guitars and crisp drums, giving way to an uproar of distortion and abrasive effects. Linkous spouts in the background "The toothless kiss of skeletons / And the summer hail / I'm the king of nails."

But the coarse bits are few and far between.

For the most part, the album is a restrained yet relieved performance, which looks at the aftermath without dwelling on it, and it shows that Linkous can still be both fragile and disquieting.

i^T

K0R08G0P6S Aries The opinions of others weigh heavily on you this week. Why do you constantly let people control the direction of your life? Stand up for yourself. Show the world that, just because you have strange desires to dress up like fluffy forest animals and prance about, acting out scenes from BAMBI, you should be considered weird.

Taurus The psychic fat woman who lives below you has predicted your fiery death. Realize that you are basing the events of your life on the advice of a woman who views the characters from STAR TREK as "friends of hers". So enjoy what short time you have left. Hey, I just said ignore her, I never said that she wasn't right.

Gemini Your double sided personality has created severe problems in your current relationship. This my be due to the fact that you are a hermaphrodite. Don't change a thing about yourself; you are a beautiful person...freakish, but beautiful.

Cancer An entire library bookshelf will fall on you shortly. Umm, next week you probably don't want to read this page, it only gets worse.

Leo You smell fresh and very mildly fruity. This attracts large bees that you are allergic to. While in the hospital you will be manhandled by a large nurse named Lou. A relationship will blossom from this molestation. You will have odd looking children.

Virgo A hospital stay is in your near future. This will be one of the few recorded incidents where amputation will be necessary in order to get a finger from out of someone's nose. Hey, your mother warned you as a child that this would happen, didn't she?

Libra Due to a strange obsession with cheese, friends and relatives alike will have you institutionalized for an undetermined amount of time. You will make great friends with a sock puppet named Herbi.

Scorpio You have a very nasty rash in a place we won't talk about. The inflammation of this area will slowly grow until you are puffed up like some exotic fish. The government will decide to harvest your infected organs for rash research. Long after your painful, itchy death, there will be a realization that you were allergic to cats and a simple shot would have saved you from so much agony.

Sagittarius People like you for your charming personality. Everything in your life will turn out wonderfully. The sun always shines wherever you go.

Capricorn You will murder Sagittarius. Those happy bastards somehow manage to suck the luck from anyone that they get near. After completing this horrible act you will go out for a chocolate milkshake. You will feel content and fulfilled.

Aquarius Exotic underwear is in your future. So many colors and styles that it will scare and overwhelm you. Has anyone noticed that I have not slept in a week? Please don't letter bomb me for these horoscopes.

Pisces Due to a hectic schedule and a genetically based dementia, you will start to envision yourself as the Queen of Spain or a large squirrel who hungers for nuts. Refuse the sweet temptation of these dementia nuts for they shall prove to be your crunchy, protein filled doom.

Expectations For Men's Basketball Are High GREG PROUTY Sports Information What will the 2001-02 Longwood men's basketball team do for an encore following the unprecedented success of a year ago? That is the question for third-year Lancer head coach Mike Leeder, and first-year assistant coach Jason Hamm.

All the Lancers did last season was accomplish the best oneseason turnaround in NCAA Division II (+19) while finishing 238 to equal the most wins in the program's 21 -year Division II history, and the second-most wins in the program's 25-year overall history. Longwood also won its first CVAC Tournament Championship, earned only its fourth NCAA Tournament appearance, and shattered the school record-book with 41 new school-records.

"I think we have raised the bar a little bit here from where it has been in the past," said Leeder.

"I think the expectations will continue to increase and hopefully we'll continue to bring in the type of players who can meet those expectations."

Gone is Colin Ducharme, a consensus first-team Ail-American and the NABC, DAKTRONICS, and Division II Bulletin National Player of the Year, who posted a double-double average of 19.6 points and a national-best 15.8 rebounds.

Ducharme, who set 10 new school-records, is now playing in Italy.

We are certainly going to miss everything that Colin meant to the program last year, and we're grateful for everything that he did," explained Leeder.

Returning, though, is senior DAKTRONICS Ail-American Jason Pryor/Hampton-Fort Walton Beach (Fla.) who led Longwood with his 24.8 points, shooting 49% from the field and 84% at the free throw line. A 6-2 guard, he added 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 63 three-pointers (41%), and a team-best 54 steals (1.8).

Pry or scored a school-record 745 points last season, and posted 30straight double-figure scoring games en route to establishing six new school-records, including a Lancer Hall-record 41 points. He had two games with at least 40 points; eight games with at least 30 points; and 20 games with at least 20 points.

"Jason has a chance to be

one of the best players in the Donohue/Warrenton-Fisburne career-highs of 19 points and six rebounds. Davis is expected to country," stated Leeder. "He is a Military Academy. fantastic scoring guard, a real A 6-6 forward-center, Boyd make an impact for the Lancers good ball-handler, and he has be- started 21 games last season, av- with his athleticism, including a come a better defender.

tough schedule that includes 20 CVAC games, featuring two games each against defending champion and NCAA Elite Eight participant Queens (N.C.), Belmont Abbey (N.C.), and Pfeiffer (N.C.).

The non-conference schedule is highlighted by a two-game tournament to open the campaign hosted by NCAA Tournament participant and preseason #18 Clarion (Pa), and non-conference contests against NCAA Tournament participant and preseason #2 Charleston (W.Va.) on the road, and a home-and-home with CIAA member North Carolina Central.

"I think the league has really improved," commented Leeder. "There will probably be four or five teams fighting for that top spot in the conference.

"It's a challenging schedule - our region is strong, but I think our league has really gotten difficult."

The preseason publications think highly of this year's edition of Longwood men's basketball.

Both Basketball Times and Street & Smith's have picked the Lancers #9 in their respective preseason Division II national polls.

The Division II Bulletin has Longwood ranked #13 in its preseason poll, and first in the CVAC. As mentioned earlier, Pryor is a preseason All-America choice by all three publications: preseason player of the year and top 25 for Basketball Times; firstteam by Street & Smith's; and honorable mention by Division II Bulletin.

"I think it is great, and it's happened real quick - to think of where we were at 24 months ago - it is a testament to the type of players we have brought in and the assistant coaches (Hamm and former assistant Marc Hostetter)," explained Leeder. "It's all very exciting for our program."

The conference coaches, however, picked the Lancers to finish third in the preseason coaches poll - though they did, as mentioned earlier, place Pryor on the preseason All-CVAC team.

Queens and Belmont Abbey were picked one-two, respectively, in the conference preseason poll.

Longwood will once again look to make believers out of everyone with its talented and experienced team. If all goes according to plan, it could just be another season to remember ...

Rounding out the freshmen class are Burton, a 5-11 forward and All-Metro selection, and Meldere, a 6-0 forward and AllState selection. Both Burton and Meldere can go inside and outside, allowing the Lancers to become more versatile with their line-up.

In addition to the players, former standout guard Caren Forbes returns to her alma mater to assist Coach Duncan and the Lancers this season. Forbes, ranks as Longwood's all-time assist leader (532-5.0 apg) and fourth in all-time scoring (I.48()-I4.0ppg). Her number 44 jersey was the second jersey to be retired in Lancer History.'We are very fortunate to have Caren back at Longwood," stated Duncan.

"She is a tremendous asset to our program."

Longwood opens its 2001-02 campaign Nov. 1617, with the 10th annual C&L/ Lancer Invitational. Following the tournament, the Lancers will travel to North Carolina to take on NCAA Division I opponents High Point (Nov. 19) and Elon (Nov. 28) before opening up conference play at Lancer Hall Dec. 4 against CVAC rival Belmont Abbey (N.C.).After the BAC contest, LC is scheduled to play in the West Chester (Pa.) Tournament, where the Lancers will face Pitt-Johnstown again in the opener - they will be joined by Molloy (N.Y.) and West Chester (Pa.). Then it is CVAC competition for the rest of the season.

The Lancers were picked number one in the 2001-02 preseason CVAC coaches' poll.

Longwood with its new talent and returning experience will be a force to reckon with as they look to upend four-time defending conference tournament champion Belmont Abbey and secure their first-ever CVAC Tournament Championship and automatic qualification to the NCAA Tournament.
