Nineteen Faculty Members Join Longwood's Staff
Dr. Willett, Dean Blackwell Preside First Term There are 19
newcomers to Long-
wood College faculty, making a total of 126 faculty members who
will serve during the 1968-1969 academic year, it is announced by
President Henry I. Willett, Jr.
In addition to the 19 new faculty members, there are a number of
new staff members, two of whom are Frank H. Williams, assistant
business mana- ger and treasurer, and Joanne Holt, assistant dean
of students.
The top ranking new member of the faculty is Dr. William L. Frank,
pro- fessor of English and chairman of the English department.
Holder of the M. A. and Ph.D. degrees from Northwestern University,
he is also the recipient of the B.A. and M.A. in education de-
grees from University of Southern Mississippi.
He has taught at Northwestern Uni- versity, Delta State College,
andSouth- east Missouri State College. While at Southeast Missouri
State College he was director of freshman English and was
chairman-designate of the depart- ment at the time of his
appointment to Longwood. A former executive direc- tor of the
Mississippi Association of Teachers of English, he has published
articles on American literature and the teaching of English, and
currently is in the process of writing a book.
The two other holders of doctoral degrees who have recently joined
the faculty are Dr. David A. Breil, as- sociate professor of
biology, and Dr. George II. Buteau, Jr., assistant pro- fessor of
biology.
The department of education added two new members to its faculty.
T. C. (Culley) Dalton, assistant professor of education with
administrative respon- sibilities as director of special serv-
ices, is a former elementary school principal. Mrs. Maurice P.
Sneller, Jr., is an instructor in education who Uught several years
in the public schools of Roanoke County.
In addition to Dr. Frank, the Eng- lish department added four new
mem- bers to its faculty. They are: Carolyn M. Craft and Susan May,
both assis- tant professors of English; and Carol Jean Drowota and
Fred P. Herndon, instructors.
Exchange Program Broadens Range OfCourseOfferings
In order to broaden the range of course offerings at both Longwood
College and Hampden-Sydney College, a cooperative exchange program
has been set up.
The statement issued by the Aca- demic Policies Committee on
Septem- ber 16, 1968, announcing the new pro- gram, reads as
follows:
"The variety of courses available to Longwood students has been in-
creased by a cooperative arrangement with Hampden-Sydney College.
Under the terms of the arrangement, full- time students at either
institution may enroll for courses at the other institu- tion
without added expense.
"Students desiring to take advan- tage of this program must secure
ap- proval from the Dean of the College.
"Longwood College students may find these academic areas of
particu- lar interest: Bible and Religion, Classi- cal languages,
and Computer mathe- matics."
According to Dr. Herbert R. Black- well, Dean of the College, all
courses that are offered at Hampden-Sydney, but not at Longwood,
will be available to LC students under this program. It may also
provide opportunities to re- solve irreconcilable conflicts in a
stu- dent's class schedule. Dean Blackwell expressed hope that many
students from both campuses would take ad- vantage of the new
policy, especially to increase their selection of courses in major
fields and in electives.
Where necessary, transportation to Hampden-Sydney, for students
making use of this program, will be pro- vided by Longwood
College.
Two part-time faculty members were added to the foreign language
department. Mrs. Maria H. Koonce, instructor in foreign languages,
re- ceived her M.A. degree from East Carolina University. A former
bilingual secretary for Dupont in Kinston, N.C., she hopes to begin
work on her doctoral degree in September. Mrs. Diana A. Saunders,
assistant professor of for- eign languages, received the M.A. from
West Virginia University.
Thomas P. Burke, Jr., assistant professor of history, fills the
vacancy created by Dr. C. G. Gordon Moss' retirement from the
department of history and social sciences. Another member of
Longwood's department of history and social sciences is John M.
McCrimmon, who has been appointed
instructor in sociology. An assistant professor and an in-
structor were added to the mathe- matics department. Mrs. Sandra A.
Bollinger, instructor, is a 1964 grad- uate from Longwood with a
B.A. de- gree in mathematics in English. An assistant professor of
mathematics, Mrs. Cada R. Parrish comes to Long- wood from Morris
Harvey College.
Miss Pauline V. Boehm, assistant professor of music, received her
bach- elor's degree from Iowa State Teachers College and the M.M.
degree from Northwestern University. Prior to coming to Longwood
she was assistant professor of music education at Mus- kingum
College, in New Concord, Ohio.
In addition to Dr. Breil and Dr. (Continued on Page 4)

By PAT LUCAS Longwood College welcomes the new
Assistant Dean of Students, Miss Jo- anne Holt. Dean Holt taught at
Oak Park Elementary school in Oak Park, Illinois and, prior to
accepting her new post, was a counselor at Cam- bridge High School
in Cambridge, Ohio. She holds a B.A. degree from the Uni- versity
of Illinois and a M.A. degree from Northwestern University.
When asked her first impression of Longwood, Dean Holt replied,
"Friendly." She went on to say that perhaps a deeper meaning would
be sincere honesty and mutual trust.
Thus far, her duties have included arranging freshman rooming and
as- sisting Dean Brown with upper class- man rooming. Dean Wilson
has re- vpql°d that Dean Holt will act 3? a liaison between the
housekeeping de- partment and the head residents con- cerning
physical aspects of the dormi- tories. She will also be doing
personal advising and later will be working with House
Council.
Dean Holt says that improvements in housing will be made only in so
far as funds are available. This year there are 63 floaters
compared with 75 last year. Although it is not preferable to
have triple rooms, the only way to avoid this is to raise the room
fee, which few students would favor.
Of course the newest developments in housing are the two ten-story
high- rise dormitories. The first of these is scheduled to be ready
for use the fall semester of 1969 with a capacity of 386
students.
The new dormitory will have a head resident and an assistant head
resident with student counselors on each floor.
The second and third floors will be sorority floors and will be
occupied either by two of the present sororities if any express a
desire to move from Stubbs or by the two new sororities which will
be colonizing on our campus in February.
The fall 1969 session will see an increase of approximately 200 new
stu- dents. At this time students in Ruffner and South Ruffner will
be housed else- where as these rooms will be con- verted to offices
and classrooms.
With the second dormitory which will house 396, enrollment will in-
crease by only an additional 200. This will cut down on tripling in
many rooms.
"Americans from Africa," a one credit-hour course, offered jointly
by Longwood and Hamp- den-Sydney Colleges, will meet for the first
time tonight at 7. The class will combine TV and live lectures, and
will be taught by Dr. Toppin of VSU, and Mr. Heinemann of
Hampden-Sydney. The class is open only to seniors and juniors on an
elective basis, although others may audit the TV lectures. Anyone
interested in the course should attend the first meeting tonight,
and then complete registration in the Registrar's of- fice. The
class will meet every Wednesday night from 7:00 until 8:30 or
9:00.
Student Officers, Faculty Attend Luncheon
Artist Series Begins Opera Performance Premieres At 8 P.M.
Wednesday, September 25, is the date of this term's first Artist
Series, the production of Mozart's three-act opera, "The Abduction
from the Ser- aglio." The opera will be performed by the Turnau
Opera Players in Jarman at 8:00 p.m. The music will be pro- vided
by the Richmond Little Symphony conducted by Edgar Schenkman.
Tin-Turnau Opera Players, a nat- ional group composed of eight
singers, a musical director-accompanist, and two stage technicians,
came into being thirteen years ago. Since their concep- tion, they
have staged over 750 per- formances of sixty-five operas, includ-
ing seven permier temporary works. This 1968-69 season marks their

ROTUNDA Waves New Flag Change of policy or a change from a previous
procedure is
often symbolic of a new vitality, a regeneration of the old life It
means reawakening, discovering fresh ideas, beginning anew.
Change is not a condemnation of the old, the traditional. It is the
recognition that one is in a rut, that one has come to rely too
heavily on the past It is an extension, another link in the chain
of progress
With this in mind and in an effort to keep in step with Long-
wood's advancement during the past year the ROTUNDA has adopted a
new banner Thanks to Susan Davenport's creativity we are able to
present it to you in the first issue of the 1968-1969 ROTUNDA. As a
result of this change we are able to give the student body five
more inches of space on the front page along with an attractive
flag. Five inches is not o great deal, but it is a beginning
Your student newspaper is ready to serve you The ROTUNDA begins
another year — M. K. M.
Jarman Only Half-Filled Jarman auditorium was only half-filled, and
yet we complain
that there is nothing to do on the Longwood campus. The Colleagues,
after many headaches, after much consterna-
tion, and after the exertion of a lot of effort, managed to engage
the Showmen in concert for the entertainment of the student body
Yet, Jarman was only half-filled.
Students have demanded more dances, more concerts, more en-
tertainment here on campus Yet, Jarman was only half-filled.
Are we to ascertain from the small number in attendance at
Saturday's concert that Longwood ladies are no longer interested in
bringing outside entertainment to their campus' If this is the
case, we con save other planning committees the troubles and
expenses of contracting such groups It will save Longwood from
future em- barrassment — M. K. M.
Schedules Cause Confusion;
Sacrifice For Free Saturdays By LIBBA BALL
"But, I've got to have this course." "I'm sorry, young lady; we
just
don't have room in here for you." Are many of you disappointed
about
your schedules this semester? Have you found that sacrificing
Saturday classes and adding two hours of daily class time to your
schedule is more of a burden than a week-end relief?
Considering some alternative argu- ments:
Do you prefer daily 8 o'clocks to the previous set-up of a possible
10 o'clock Saturday class? Are you find- ing any study time between
the first and second sessions of a class on cer- tain days?
Have you realized that the courses that meet for nearly two hours
twice a week, tend to leave us bored, exhausted, and suffering from
unnecessary back pains?
What we won't do for a free week- end!
Many of us have classes on some days from 8 until 4, with only the
45 minute lunch break. Our spare time during the week has to be
spent on concentrated study of day-to-day as- signments. Little has
been gained by freeing us from campus on Saturdays, since any
research work on projects must be completed on the supposedly
"free" day.
Schedule conflicts, too, present their continual problem. Four-year
planned courses of study have been mapped out for those of us who
have cfeoMB our majors. This eliminates a student's taking
unrelated courses; however, a large percentage of girls are unable
to gain admittance into these
es. Our classrooms are too small,
or we dont have enough teachers. What- ever the problem is,
something should be resolved.
A music course, required for ele- mentary majors, recently
convened. Since the students were prospective teachers and had
plans to student teach the following year, their music require-
ments had to be completed this year. Unfortunately, there aren't
enough pi- anos. Their Instruction is being ham- pered by three
girls on a piano.
Other schedule changes we feel are unfair include the higher course
tu- ition and the two dollars add-drop charge. Why should a
student, on a loan or scholarship, be penalized $30.00 if she is
taking nineteen hours in or- der to accelerate? Advisors are sup-
posed to help their advisees determine their courses of study.
Fine! But, why shouldn't they be fined part of the $2.00 add-drop
charge? After all, the student is following Ids advisor's recommen-
dations.
For those whose classes last until the late afternoon on Fridays,
what chance do you have of finding a ride home? The
Washington-Arlington peo- ple, especially, have a disadvantage with
the buses. Unless they can elimi- nate late afternoon classes, they
are "doomed" to stay in Farmville until Saturday. Rlcfamonders,
also, are at a disadvantage. Unless they have early afternoon
classes, they won't arrive in town until after ten. Those seniors
who do have cars, are either student teach- ing, or neglect to
invite riders.
The majority of us didn't want to attend Saturday classes, and now
we're suffering the consequences. Should we reverse our decision or
content our- selves with the newest privilege?

Letter To The Editor
(Actually we aren't really freshmen. We just want an even chance
for a date!)
Whenever color spirit Is at a peak, or whenever Longwood girls Just
feel like singing, they gather in the Ro- tunda. Each class and
each color has spirited songs which are sung with great enthusiasm.
And learning to sing these songs has for many years been one of the
ways by which each one of us has felt that she has become a part of
Longwood.
Recently there have been several ostentatious displays of rudeness
dur- ing activities involving the Red and Whites and the Green and
Whites. Such behavior is not in keeping with the sin- cere Blue and
White spirit which has previously united us.
Exhibiting disrespect for another's spirit, whether red or green,
does not add to class or color spirit, nor does it win Gelst
Festival skits, or add points toward Color Cup; it only displays
our lack of consideration for others.
If each class and color maintains a degree of consideration for
others, the result will be a sincere spirit deserv- ing of respect.
It is this consideration for one another that overshadows both the
spirit of Red and White and Green and White, and strengthens our
Blue and White Foundation.
Sincerely, SM DB

"The Showmen" perform at Longwood to help the Colleagues welcome
the freshmen and transfer students.
"39-21-40 SHAPE" Appears At LCr
"The Showmen" Perform In Concert
Half. |, mil. .i thr Foal Ulrica al KararllU. Virginia, andtr
By FRANCES KIMBLE The Colleagues sponsored a concert
Saturday, September 21, in honor of the freshmen and transfer
students. The concert featured The Showmen with the Satisfactions
as the back-up band.
The Showmen got their start 15 years ago in Norfolk while the
members were still in Junior high and high school. They called
themselves the Humdingers and were managed by a friend, Noah Biggs.
In the group's early years they appeared in teen hops and nonbeer
clubs.
In 1961 the group changed their name to The Showmen and recorded
"39-21- 40 Shape" and "It Will Stand." As a result of the recording
"It Will Stand" the group received national publicity and was
featured in Life Magazine in 1963.
In the fall of 1966 The Showmen gave a concert at the University of
North Carolina for a crowd of 4,500. Thi.-, was their first
experience in front of a large crowd. Since this time The Showmen
have been full-time singers with 99ri of their engagements in col-
leges or predominately college clubs. They have appeared In all the
major colleges and universities in the South.
The five-member group works out of Norfolk, \ Leslie Felton, Milton
Wells, Gene Knight, and !
Knight are the original members from ilk. Donnie Ray Boone from
Kin-
ston, North Carolina, recently replaced General Norman Johnson.
They range in age from 21 to 26.
Friday night The Showmen had ap- peared in Raleigh. Following the
Long- wood Concert, the Showmen traveled to Salisbury, North
Carolina, for a concert that night. Their next engage- ment in this
area will be October 26 when they will give an early concert it VMI
and a late concert at Washing-
ton and Lee. They will give a concert al VPI November 9 and at UVA
No- vember 17.
Bill Kennedy, the manager of The Showmen, said, "an interesting
aspect Of the group is that their popularity and demand is based
largely on their shows rather than a long repertoire of strong
hits."
1 week the group released a new recording, "Action," on Bell
l.ables. The first indication showed this would be a big record for
the group.
The future is looking even stronger for the Showmen now that they
have concerts scheduled in the North such as in Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and cities in Ohio.
11. R, Parker, back-up band direc- tor for the Showmen, said, "we
love working for all girls any day and are
iid to coming back in the
future." The back-up band, The Satisfac-
tions, are a seven-member group with members from Danville,
Richmond, Farmville, and Crewe. The group has been together for two
years and has released two records, "Girl With the Mini Skirt On"
and "You Don't Know Like I Know." They will make an- other
recording on October 5.
The group has backed up singers Joe Simon, Stevie Wonder, and Eddie
Floyd. They presently work in six states and have played In major
southern uni- versities and colleges.
The Virginia Museum's Art- mobile, featuring rare Byzantine
Treasures, will be at Longwood from September 23-27.
The Museum's collection of Byzantine art was assembled by Marvin
Ross, the Museum's ad- visor on Medieval and Byzantine art.
The works in this exhibit range in date from the fourth to twelfth
century. The jewelry represents the most important group in the
exhibit according to the curator of the Virginia Museum. Earrings,
bracelets, brooches, and rings, many made of gold and silver and
decorated with jewels, are dis- played in the Artmobile.

A A Presents Sports Activities
During Annual Demonstration Hockey, swimming, fencing,
basket-
ball, or lacrosse, what is your game? This question was posed to
the new freshman class, Thursday, September 19, at the Athletic
Association Demon- stration. The demonstration, which be- gan at
4:15 p.m. on Barlow Field, pre- sented exhibitions of various
sports in order to create interest in our new and old students for
intramural and varsity sports, whether as players or
spectators.
In Barlow Gymnasium, a series of talks and demonstrations took
place. A talk on basketball by Lynn Colemin was followed by a brief
game between the Green and Whites and Red and Whites. Volleyball
was explained by Beth Rice; badminton by Shorty MarU coni; and
fencing by Anna Pettis. Sev- eral members of Orchesis presented a
dance number from last year's
pageant, following a talk by Doris Richards.
Meanwhile a water show was given in the pool by members of the
varsity swim team, the H20 Club, and the Corkettes. Each number was
explained by Stephanie DuRoss. Two solo Inter- pretations, a dual
synchronized num- ber, and a water relay were presented.
In Tabb Circle, moreofLongwood's sports were represented: bowling,
by Janet Harpold; table tennis, by Debbie Remsburg; golf, by Jo
Newberry; bi- cycles, by Chris McDonnell; and ten- nis, by Betty
Jane Rogers.
When all three groups had seen the various demonstrations, they re-
turned to Barlow Field to watch sev- eral Longwood hockey players
in action and a game of lacrosse, another of Longwood's varsity
sports.

Eleven seniors received their Ath- letic Association blazers
September 19 at the annual AA banquet. Those girls getting white
blazers were Anna Pettis, Becky Bondurant, Linda Atkinson, Cathy
Hass, Jane Tibbs, and Ginny Sire. Receiving blue blazers were Jane

To receive a white blazer students must collect at least 45 points
by their senior year and to earn a blue blazer students must earn
at least 35 points. Points may be earned by participating
Mac's Facts Last Thursday's AA Demonstration
was well-organized and gave a well- rounded view of Longwood's
expanding athletic activities. Too bad so few freshmen decided to
take advantage of the interesting afternoon.
Judy Turner had quite a hard time last week, along with a few
others, maintaining her balance in the old gym.
Hearty congratulations to all those people who were awarded blazers
at the AA banquet.
Alma, was it really that warm at the Physical Education majors get-
together?
Barbara Jenkins is in fine shape for powder puff football should a
team be formed. Her favorite tackle dummy is "nightie watch," and
Dillard can vouch for that.
Tricia and Donna have started at- tending burnings early and have
found that alcohol burns better than card- board boxes.

"This year for the first time trans- fer students may earn points
through their senior year," said Jane Tibbs, president of the
Athletic Association. "These blazers will be presented at the
picnic later in the spring."
Also new to the club this year is Miss Callaway. She will advise
the group and coordinate the intramural program.
Intramural Tennis Doubles;
Night Shirts
Fault! Double Fault! If you know enough about tennis to
understand what has just been said, then last Monday should have
been the beginning of a good experience for you. Monday was the
first day of matches In the Class Tennis Doubles Competition. Any
two members of the same class are eligible to play. The tournament
is played by single elimi- nation rules, in which partners remain
In competition until they lose a match. The winners receive points
toward the class cup.
Last year, the finals were composed of two teams of freshmen. The
winners played Dr. Heintz and Dr. O'Neil as a finale to the
tournament and im- pressively, the "more experienced" players won.
This year, the winners will again make their debut against Dr.
Heintz and Dr. O'Neil. Maybe the "younger set" can pull through
this time!
Although tennis doubles are held in the fall, the singles
competition is held in the spring. The tournament is run in the
same manner as to en- tries and elimination, with the winner also
receiving points toward class cup.
Be sure and check the boards as to time and day and support your
class and friends in their matches!

"Sing Out South" is a regional development of the international
move- ment "Up With the People" which seeks to emphasize the
positive aspect: of this country and the world. Through songs this
group of high school and college students wants to show that the
youth of the country are not apathetic; that they are not all
hippies; that they want our world to be a peaceful one and that
they are willing to pay the price for freedom. They want to put
freedom on the move in every country
and to offer a positive alternative to violence and anarchy.
The titles of some of their songs show the spirit and purpose of
"Sing Out": "Don't Standstill," "Life Is Getting Better Every Day,"
"What Color Is God's Skin?" "Can't You Hear America Calling?" and
"The World Is Your Home Town."
The real desire behind "Sing Out" can perhaps be best explained
with words from the theme song, "Up With People":
"If more people were for people, All people everywhere There'd be a
lot less people to
to worry about And a lot more people who care."
A proposed pizza and fried chicken call-in service, special prices
on par- ticular items during certain periods, and new menu items,
such as banana splits, are among the recent ideas for service
changes in the Slater Snack Bar in the Lankford Activities Build-
ing.
According to Vera Boggs, manager of the Snack Bar, such changes are
badly needed to meet the needs of the students. "We want this to be
their place, with their ideas," she said. She welcomes aU
reasonable suggestions for further changes.
Fried chicken and pizza will be added to the menu in the near
future. Details have not yet been completely worked out, and prices
must be ap- proved by the college. Once the plan is ready, however,
students may be able to order these items by phone, and then pick
them up when they're ready.
Another innovation is the idea of 'specials." On certain nights,
for periods of from one and a half to two hours, the management may
offer free

cokes, reduce prices on onion rings, or turn the juke box on free.
These are only a few possibilities.
Frequently requested items are also being added to the menu. Banana
splits are the first of these.
The management is also looking for ideas for special events on big
weekends: something to please the girls, and to fit in with the
date situation.
Mrs. Boggs is working toward im- proved service through a faster
check- out system. Other possibilities being discussed include a
card tournament, sing-alongs, and decorative posters.
Panhellenic Council Welcomes Sororities Open Rush In Spring
By PATTY KINGSLEY Representatives from three sorori-
ties will beat Longwood during the week of the 22nd to hold
