1970 Geist Recognizes Outstanding Students
BRENDA BROWN BANDI MrMlRTRV H\RH\R\ BANNIN Ml Hint REMSBl'RG JODY MAC E
Junior Festmeister, Sophomore Mittenmeister, Usherettes Chosen With the Oktobertest weekend not
far in the future, Geist has announced the 1970 Festmeister, Mittenmelster, Geistmeister, and the eight usherettes for this year's activity-packed weekend. As the German word Geist sig- nifies, the girls who were carefully chosen by members of Geist are rec- ognized for their intelligence, imagi- nation, and their overall outstanding Longwood spirit and devotion.
The position of Geistmeister, given to the senior who most represents the traditional Blue and White spirit, was given to Sue Rinaldi.
Sue, vivacious and fun-loving, comes
Psychiatrist
Infirmary Staff This year Longwood has added to
its staff psychiatrist, Dr. James C. Sams. Dr. Sams comes to us from tin University of Virginia.
Dr. Sains is on campus every Wed- i.iy and may be seen by appoint-
ment made through the infirmary nur- . He also reserves the hours after
3:30 for those girls who for some 11 '.i -nil could not make an advance ap- pointment. His office is located on the
mi floor above the Infirmary. The student health fees pay the retainer for Dr. Sains, but any additional costs »iii be billed directly to the student.
Dr. Sams' .ii vi.es are open to any student wishing his help. He said he is "aware ol the prejudice" peychia*
tuntei, but also pointed out thai emotional conflict is a part of
. One of the major problems in treating college students, he stated, r thai the indent does not know how
i lentlal his visit is kept.Dr.Sams' Dl v.lth Longwood is that any
he may keep art his DWfl MI 11 >rda md not a part of
the student's college records at all. Dr. Btini IS I welcomed addition
originally from Portsmouth, Virginia. While here at Longwood she has been active in almost every facet of college life. Her various activities past and present include Secretary of Student Government, Junior Representative to Legislative Board, Sophomore Repre- sentative to the May Court, general chairman of the Miss Longwood Pag- eant, Sigma Kappa Corresponding Sec- retary, and she is also a member of the Colleagues. Sue is an elementary education major hoping for a Bachelor of Science degree.
Festmeister for the 1970 Oktober- test is Beverly Aston, a junior, Her duties will include acting as mistress of ceremonies. This is the highest recognition that Geist gives a member of the Junior Class.
Beverly, from Suffolk, Virginia, plans to be an elementary education teacher, as she is working toward the Bachelor of Science degree in the elementary education department. Bev, a really dedicated student, has been the sophomore class historian, a Col- league, the YWCA sophomure counse- lor, a contributing member of the Financial Aid Committee, and she has been named the Business Manager for the 1971 Miss Longwood Pageant.
Tapped for the 1970 Mittenmeister is Carol Chorey, a sophomore. Her duties Oktoberfest weekend will be to supervise over the midway. Carol, who has shown both spirit and loyalty, certainly deserves this recognition.
Carol, a physical education major from Virginia Beach, has been very active in all the physical sports of- fered here at Longwood. She has played varsity hockey, many intramural sports, and has been the representative to the Athletic Association.
In addition to these three important positions, Geist elected eight usherettes, two from each class. Their duties will consist of introducing the class skits in form of dance, and to seat the guests. Those honored were Debbie Remsburg, Brenda Brown, sen- iors; Sandi McMurtry, Jody Mace, juniors; Martha M<>rnssette, Becky West, sophomores; Joan Foster, Bob-
bie Bannin, freshmen. Debbie Remsburg is an Elementary
Education major from Loudoun, Vir- ginia. Debbie's record for leadership certainly cannot be disputed. She has been class Vice President, Alpha Sig- ma Tau Rush Chairman, elections committee co-chairman, dining hall committee chairman, and she is also a Pea Picker.
Brenda Brown from Newport News, Virginia, is working towards a Bache- lor of Science degree in History. Bren- da, an extremely capable, girl, has held positions on Legislative Board ever since her freshman year. She has been chairman of Ring Dance, a member of the Concert Choir, and she was chairman of the Environmental Teach- in that was held on the Longwood campus last year.
Sandi McMurtry is a Psychology major from Holland, Virginia.
Sandi has shown a great deal of Long- wood spirit. She has been a red and white spirit leader, a Colleague, a student assistant, an active member of the Longwood Players, and a representative to the Lankford Student Union.
Jody Mace, an Elementary major from Newport News, is an outstanding example of the Longwood spirit. Jody has been the Rotunda's exchange editor; she has worked very closely with the Student Government Association as the recording secretary; she was the junior ring chairman, an active member of Sigma Kappa, and she is cur- rently the Canterbury Club president.
Martha Morrisette, from Farm- ville, is an elementary education major. In spite of being a day student, Martha has been extremely active in activities at Longwood. She has been a Colleague, and is a member of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority. Martha has also been a Nurse's Aid at the Southside Community Hospital
Becky West is also an elementary- education major. The active sophomore
from Roanoke has held the positions of vice president of the freshman class, a member of the freshman com- mission, a member of the tennis team, a participant in the Geist production of last year, a member of the Athletic Association Social Committee, a sup- porter of the intramural sports program, and finally she is a member of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority.
Joan Foster and Bobbie Bannin are the two prospective freshmen who have shown outstanding spirit and leadership qualities already. Joan is from Richmond and is yet undecided in her major. Barbara, from New York, is a Physical Education major.
These 11 girls, each a complimen- tary example from the four classes, will spark enthusiasm and purpose on the weekend of October 30, the 1970 Oktoberfest festival. JOAN FOSTER

Class Of '74 Speaks 1 5ot*iE THINGS NEVEH CHANGE Instead of the traditional formalized editorial welcoming the
new freshman class, the Rotunda staff decided to devote this space to the freshman in a different manner Since first impressions are always important a poll was taken dealing with Orientation, 1970 and how the freshman felt about it. The freshmen chosen at random, were urged to respond truthfully, but were under no obligation to answer everything in a complimtentary fashion It is to be remembered, however, that only a small number of the Freshman class was approached so naturally there are many opinions that were omitted; It is hoped however that many of these opinions express the views of those freshmen who have not yet had their say In any case, pay attention upper- classmen, the freshmen are 800 strong and are speaking to you.

A:
What impressed you most about orientation? The genuine concern that the administration showed to the freshmen impressed me the most - Kathryn Wood Everybody's friendliness, especially the friendliness of the orientation leaders and colleagues - Elaine Johnson
Everybody's friendliness. The program lasted too long. Orientation test shouldn't be held during a school week - Kathy Taylor The mixer! - Brenda Childress The organization and timing - the student assistants were great - Lynn Hamilton Honor code signing and beanie caDping — Marie Wiemer What did you think of the orientation test? It was awfully picky; but we should know the information - Brenda Burchett During orientation, which group left the greatest impression upon you, colleagues, student assistants or irientation leaders? The student assistants were most friendly and therefore I felt they meant more to me - Karen Perkins What do you feel could have improved Longwood's orientation program this year? There were boring orientation meetings; otherwise an excellent program — Janis Rowe It should've been a little shorter. Make it on a day other than Sunday allowing the roommates to go downtown together for curtain rods, rugs, etc. for the bedroom. Give the rest of the day off for getting settled in the rooms instead of rushing off to meetings - Vernie Harris We thought Chi should walk after honor code signing - too many assemblies, we may flunk out - Kay Perkinson, Marie Wiemer Not too many assemblies - Susan Talbott Slow it down a little bit - Susan Dowdy When classes started, don't have any more meetings- Lin Davis Did you learn anything from Longwood's orientation program? What? Yes, everything written in the handbook told of the different aspects of college life and the orientation program gave you time to experience these aspects and get used to the college - Kay Biggs Does the orientation program make you feel more welcome than you would have felt at another college without the program? Yes, well, another school might have the orientation program, but they couldn't make you feel wanted and welcome as this one did. - Daria Poole What was your first impression of Longwood's orientation program? Your last impression? Oh, I liked It ... it got a little hectic; but I still attended everything and I'm glad I did. I felt the same from the first-Debbie Waldron
Longwood Apathy Movement
Victimizes College Newspaper By ETHEL REITER
Mourn not the dead . . . Hut rather mourn the apathetic throng- The cowed and meek Who see the world's great anguish
and its wrong, And dare not speak.
Ralph Chaplin Irving Kristol in his essay, "What's
Bugging the Students?" states that the students of the 1950's were con- formists for plain, obvious, and traditional, conformist reasons. The death of this "silent generation" gave birth to an age of nonconformist!), idealism, and active concern. However, if this responsible concern exists at Longwood it does so with only a hand- ful of students. Cooperation, involve- ment, and interest are foreign words to a vast majority of the student body. Again this year the Rotunda suffers miserably as victim of the Longwood Apathy Movement. I know of no other movement so massively supported. 1 have visions of the Apathetic Student Society becoming the major organization on campus, encouraging the spirit of indifference, laziness, and uih|ii«'stloning tolerance.
Every week the Rotunda weakly crawls off the press and humbly awaits your scorn and criticism. Skimming the headlines, you throw the paper aside. If you are not completely In- different, then you are dissatisfied with the lack of pertinent facts, or maybe a slanted story, a misquote, or with another critical commentary which in your opinion is totally unfair. Several of these accusations may be valid, but
with a staff of approximately five people it is difficult to interview, report, write, lay out, and circulate a perfect newspaper. When help is so scarce that one person is forced to write three articles, they naturally become quite biased. Then there are those of you who are content with a newspaper which contains campus gossip, student council activities, dining hall com- plaints, and so forth. However, this is the newspaper of the past. In recent years collegiate journalism has mod- ernized, and the Rotunda staff would like to see the same trend In your paper. It is vital to show concern for problems In the larger society and their relevance to the academic ivory tower. Surely, a few students have opinions on academic and administrative affairs, community matters, and national is- sues. The Rotunda exists as a means of voicing such opinions and ideas.
We, the members of the Rotunda staff, are concerned about the future of your newspaper. Without help it cannot survive. We voice this plea in the interest of the student body, In conclusion, I would like to quote the 1970-71 Longwood College Student Handbook which states,
The Rotunda is a medium for the journalistic efforts of ALL students. Anyone interested in journalism can find valuable experience by contributing to this newspaper, which seeks to uphold the highest standards of journalism. It invites the interest and sup- port of ALL in the college community.

A Staunch Stand Complimented Dear Editor,
At 1:00 Thursday in the Gold Room, I attended my first Longwood press conference. As a freshman it was a new experience for me and I was greatly impressed with the entire production. Particularly was I Im- pressed with Dr. Willett's views con- cerning the drug situation.
In the confusion and excitement of the past weeks I guess the thought of narcotics was pushed from my mind, temporarily, but hearing Dr. Willett answer the various questions last week, I was reminded once again of the many dangers of drugs. I remembered with apprehension how easi- ly it was to obtain drugs in my home town and even in my high schooL I thought about the lives that had been destroyed or altered because of a "bad trip."
It seems now that all a person has to do is walk down certain areas of any city and he will be confronted with pushers, users and go-betweens. It's frightening to think about our future generation when a great majority of them might be mutated because their parents once "shot speed" or "dropped a few downers."
It is my sincere hope that Dr. Willett will continue his policy con- cerning narcotics. Until everyone Is aware of the danger of drugs, some- one must take the incentive and show his concern for the misuse of drugs. Longwood has taken a stand, true it's not a liberal stand but it is for the benefit of the students and should be supported by everyone here.
Sharon L. Sapp, 1974
To the Editor: I was encouraged to hear at Pres-
ident Willett's press conference (10- 1-70) that the Legislative Board has recommended that a study be taken on the proposal that alcoholic bever- ages be allowed on campus. It has been suggested that open meetings on the subject be held and a student survey be conducted.
This seems to indicate that at last Longwood has decided to move with the times and recognize the fact that college girls, even future elementary and secondary school teachers drink.
Many colleges in Virginia, includ- ing well-respected women's colleges such as Randolph-Macon, Mary Wash- ington, Sweet Briar and Radford, al- low the consumption of beer on campus either at a place designated for such or in the dorms. Many girls at Longwood would prefer having some places established on campus where they could drink or being allowed to drink in the privacy of their dorm rooms.
It seems to me that Longwood as well as parents would encourage rather than discourage students to drink within the confines of the college instead of while riding around in a car or at the local drinking establishments.
As with any suggested change in policy, there is bound to be disad- vantage as well as advantages. The Cons as well as the Pros on this subject should be carefully consider- ed. If drinking is allowed, either in the dorm or at a specified place on campus, additional regulations may be needed to insure that students do not infringe upon each other's rights.
Whatever side of this proposal a student may favor, she should be sure to speak out and let her opinion be known.
Stephanie Sivert Class of '72
Non Existent Academics To the Editor:
Recently I have heard of an academic affairs committee. Who is on the committee and what is their func- tion? Does this committee evaluate the teachers at the college periodically? Each day the students are evaluated by their participation in class and by their work, but does anyone check up on the teacher to see if he or she is doing his or her job? In one class I had two years ago I never received any of my tests back until I walked into the exam. How is a student sup- posed to realize her mistakes if her teacher is too busy to ever hand back a test?
I know that a teacher has to do a lot of other things besides teach her or his classes. But because we are in the process of learning to be teachers, shouldn't our teachers set an example for us?
If several students come to this committee with a real complaint about a teacher, does this committee investi- gate and if so, what is done to cor- rect the situation?
I think a committee like this one Is good for a college. Why is it that very few people know of its exis- tence?
Linda Jones
Opinions And Comments Wanted
The Rotunda staff wishes to urge all students to submit to the Letters to the Editor column. There is no policy on length, or subject matter. The only stip- ulation that is rigidly enforced is that students must sign their name on the printed material. We hope that you won't feel in- timidated in any way. Please sup- port your college newspaper.
Mash Highly Fragmented And
Badly Flawed But Good Show
Basically MASH is a comedy con- cerning life in an emergency medical aide station near the front lines in Ko- rea. In tone and structure MASH is very much of the modern school along with movies like Easy Rider in which there is practically no plot but instead a heavy reliance on stringing together many independent episodes any of which could be cut without disturb- ing the rest of the movie. This is a technique which when used expertly as In Nicodemi's excellent "Simon of Brooklyn" can seem to flow smoothly and yield a tight movie, or which as In ' Easy Rider" can be fed to adol- escents even when used sloppily if draped in a suitable message. Unfor- tunately, Mash is meant for an adult audience as well as adolescent yet the capsular anecdotes are not skillfully welded, resulting in a noticeably rough series of transitions.
The continuity of "Mash" is badly disturbed in the second half of the movie when a shift is made from the muddy hills of Korea to a football field elsewhere on which a game is played for morale building purposes between the MASH unit and another out- fit. While the game episode is amusing, it constantly breaks the flow and gives the impression that Preminger and Nichols were looking pretty hard for material with which to pad the flick to salable length.
Sutherland and Gould are the draw- ing names but the rest of the cast is uniformly good. They do an excellent job of caricaturing men and women ac- tually to be found in the service and they catch well the bawdy, crude, yet subtle humor of the military. It is the acting and the good direction of the unconnected episodes of the movie which make up for the fact that as a whole it is rather poorly made. All the stereotypes are present: the tough, mindless sergeant, the gung-ho W AC, who takes the service seriously - the Oriental kid being taught to mix mar- tinis, the pathetic chaplain whom no- body takes seriously, and above all the fellow, whether doctor or jeep-driver, who was drafted and cannot quite figure why he is where he is but wishes he were not. The action of the movie combines these characters in portray- ing events far too good to be true but highly amusing.
All in all, the movie is well worth seeing, it should be kept in mind that it is a caricature. Amusingly, some students seem to regard it as pure idealism, which it, of course, is not.
Longwood Faculty
Bedford Building By KATHRYN WOOD
The new Bedford Art Gallery is the scene of a Faculty Art Show, which started October 1, 1970, and will continue through November 1, 1970. The Gallery is open from 9:00 a.m. until
6:00 p.m. daily and from 2:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Sundays. The students of Longwood as well as the public are invited to attend.
The artists are Miss Barbara Bish- op, chairman of the Art Department, Miss Annie Lee Ross, Miss Elizabeth Flynn, Mrs. Janice Lemen, Mrs. Nancy Leitch, Mr. Paul Roulllard and Mr. William Stucket. A reception will be held Sunday, October 11, from 2:00 until 5:00 p.m. for the public to meet the artists.
Some types of art represented in the show are photography, oil painting, ceramic, and collage.
Mr. Paul Roulllard feels that the "Art Department has worked very hard for the show. Each member is very well represented with the individuality of each member showing through. There is a great variety on display with a richness of style. The works range from abstract to pop to plexiglass."
When asked about the building, Mr. Roulllard said, "The Bedford Build- ing is a beautiful building. It has made the Art Department very prominent."

Hockey Team Loses Opener Coach Plays For Richmond
Longwood College's Hockey Team lost their opening game of the season to the Richmond Hockey Club by a score of 4-1. The game was played on Longwood's Barlow Field.
The Richmond Club picked up most of their scores during the first half. Three of the goals were credited to their powerful center forward, and the last goal was scored by Longwood's Hockey Coach, Dianne Davis. It was indeed ironical to see a coach play against her own team. At half time, Longwood's coach returned to her college players to give them helpful hints, then returned to Richmond's side to receive strategy plays from their coach.
Although Longwood's players look- ed good, they could not compete with
the experience and team work of the Richmond team. The opposing team showed good foot work and speed with their forward line, and excellent passing.
Longwood, at times, showed good passing and good strategy. Her weak- est part seemed to be with her forward line who frequently we-e neither keep- ing up with each other nor working together.
Outstanding players of the game were Freda Lunsford, Sue Manahan, Janet Ford, and Margaret Lowry. Two freshmen, Beth Cobb, playing fullback, and Becky Burch, who made Longwood's only goal, showed great skill and good prospects of becoming top hockey players.
Competition Rises As Tennis Singles Begin
Intramural tennis singles started last week with members of all four classes competing against each other. The tennis players play a Pro set in which the winner must win eight games, but she has only to win by one game. Therefore, the maximum number of games to be played are 15. (8-7)
To be completely out of the tournament, a player must lose twice. If there is a winner in each class, a round robin tournament will be held to decide which class gets the points toward class cup.
Freshmen tennis players include: Barbara Bannin, Lynne Hamilton, Kar- en Mayor, Deggie Amme, Diane Amme, Tina Nelson, Graham Meldron, Pam Williams, Charlotte Fugett, Shirley Chappell, Betty Watson, and Susan HalL
Barbara Cridlin, Linda Wall, Cathl Looper, GailGossage,Dottle Bolunnon, Terri Gadsby, Angle Beverly, Cindy Cain, and Andy Lasslter comprise the
list of sophomore players. The Junior pros include: Suzanne
Morgan, Cathy Smoral, Bobble Thurs- tou, Kay Harvey, Ellen Dunn, Joan Lawter, Terry Crump, Janet Ford, Margaret Lowry, and Nancy Fowlkes.
Janet Harpold, Nedra Dlstel, Ruth Holdren, and Kathy Wilson make up the Senior Intramural tennis players.
Team Reorganizes Gets New Coach Adds New Faces
A young team, a new coach, a large schedule, and Longwood's varsity hockey squad begins its 1970 season. Led by Miss Dianne Davis, the team in- cludes returnees Freda Lunsford, co- captain, Jane McCaffrey, Patty Coogan, Ellen Dunn, Debbie Ellenbrand, Janet Ford, Nancy Fowlkes, co-captain, Mar- garet Lowry, Suzanne Morgan, Susan Stutz, Carol Chory, Diane Derrick, and Jackie Santoro. Senior Sherry Wil- liams, sophomores Barbara Cridlin, Mo Hunt, Sue Manahan, Sandy Oliver and freshmen Loretta Bunting, Becky Burch, Beth Cobb, Dana Hutcherson, Brenda Price, Joy Ross, Beth Turner, Wanda Wallace, and Paula Williams are listed as those playing their first varsity hockey season. Managers are sophomore Diane Weymouth and freshman Jenny Johnston.
The team's first chance to work together against outside competition came Saturday, September 26, at West- hampton College where they attended the annual Tidewater Field Hockey As- sociation clinic. The day included stickwork in the morning and games in the afternoon. This opportunity of playing preseason games at the clinic, plus many hours of laps, stickwork, and game situations here at practice sessions, should see Longwood's team ready for any situation.
The schedule for the remaining games is:
October 10 Old Dominion Here 12 VCU Here 17 Westhampton There 20 Madison Here 23 Bridgewater There 24 Lynchburg There 31 LC ALUMNI Here
November 3 William and Mary There 7 Tidewater College Tourna

Hockey Intramurals Brings Sororities, Dorms Together
Hockey Intramurals began this week with the dorms and sororities competing with one another. Each team gets to play at least two games before being eliminated. The games are played in the afternoon with junior physical education majors officiating. A trophy will be given to the champion of the intramurals. Class and color competition will follow intramurals.
The teams consist of players from Alpha Gamma Delta, Wheeler, Sigma Kappa, Cox, Alpha Delta Phi, Tabb- French, Curry, Delta Zeta, Alpha Sig- ma Tau, South Cunnningham, Kappa Delta, North Cunningham, Sigma Sig- ma Sigma, Main Cunningham, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Zeta Tau Alpha, Fraz- ier, and Alpha Phi.

Archer To Attend East Coast Tournament
Longwood College's archery champion, Georgia Freeman, will attend the East Coast Intercollegiate Archery Tournament at Glassboro State Col- lege in Glassboro, New Jersey, Oc- tober 10. The tournament consists of shooting a Columbia Round at 50, 40, and 30 yards, 6 arrows to an end, and 4 ends to a distance - a total of 72 arrows. Also, the 300 Round will be shot — 25 arrows each at the 60, 50, and 40 yard distances.
Miss Freeman, a junior, has been a member of the Longwood Archery Team since her freshman year when she broke the school's standing record with a score of 548. In the fall
of 1969, she placed fourth in the tournament at Glassboro. Miss Free- man was first place with a score of 566 at the State Collegiate Tourna- ment in the spring of 1970. This sum- mer, August 31-September 6, the Long- wood Champion attended Teela-Wooket Archery Camp in Roxbury, Vermont, to learn different skills and to receive more training. The archers came from such places as Canada, Arizona, and the Virgin Islands to attend the ses- sion of training. Another archer at the camp, Barbara Brown, won third place at the World Tournament in Wales this September.
Wet Workouts And Practices ! Add Up To New Swim Team
After a week of workouts, practices, and a lot of "wet" fun, members of the Longwood's 1970 swim team have been chosen. Those selected for their skill and ability to perform well in the water were:Sherri Beatty, Tater Brown, Linda Burgdorf, Ellen Cahill, Eleanor Challen, Susan Clark, Leslie Edwards, Kathy Hipskind, Lois Hrubik, Kathy Kutsher, Mary Ellen Sasiowski, and Kathy Umbdenstock. Manager is Carolyn Starmont.
Tryouts were held each afternoon last week with the final decision rest- ing with swim coach Sally Bush. Al- though the turnout for the team was not too good, Miss Bush is expecting great results from the selected members.
Team practices will beheld Monday and Wednesday from 4-6 p.m., and each Tuesday and Thursday from 3:15-4:50 p.m., plus any extra practices which
may be needed. The schedule for the season is as
follows: October

Longwood English Department Adds Four Facility IMemhers
Longwood College has gained four in* teachers in the English Dtp&rt- ment. New to the -t.iff an> liisi Cath- leen Hosey, Mrs. Camilla Mason Tin- nell, Mr. David C. Vest, and Mr. Allen Wier. Both Miss Hosey and Mr. Vest have been appointed assistant professors. Mrs. Tinnell and Mr.Wier are instructors in the English De- partment.
Miss Hosey, a native of Pennsyl- vania, holds the B.A. degree from Rosary College and M.A. from Loyola University. In June, she expects to romplete the doctoral degree in Cla siial Studies. When asked how she liked Longwood, Mrs. Hosey replied that the "campus is unique and beautiful. It I itiiiu' in the heart of his- torical Virginia and isn't overwhelmed by the urban area." She also finds the girls "interested and enthu.M and a pleasure to teach."
Mrs. Tinnell holds the B.S. and M.S. degrees from Radtord College. She is the wife of a member of the natural sciences department, Mr.
Wayne H. Tinnell. Mrs. Tinnell said that Bbc has had a favorable impression of both the faculty and the students. She has been out of teaching for a year during which time she had a baby and kept house. She doesn't anticipate any problems. She stated that she "feels at home at Longwood and is impressed with the caliber of the students." She was particularly impressed with the freshman orientation.
Mr. Vest holds the A.B. degree from Birmingham-Southern College and the M.A. from Vanderbilt Uni- versity where he is expecting to com- plete the Ph.D. degree in June. In 1969, Mr. Vest won the Academy of American Poets Prize at Vanderbilt for a collection of poems which he wrote. Outside of the classroom his chief enjoyment is writing poetry. Mr. Vest likes "good poetry" and con- siders himself a writer first and then a teacher. Mr. Vest is also a pianist and likes rock and roll music and classical music. Mrs. Vest is a native of Tours, France, and works in the French lab with Mrs. Ernouf.
Mr. Wier was originally from San Antonio, Texas. He received his B.A. from Baylor University and is a can- didate for the M.A. degree from Lou- isiana State University. He held a former position as a Graduate Teach- ing Assistant at Louisiana State Uni- versity.

People all across the United States whether they reside in one of our large metropolitan areas or on one of the back roads of Prince Edward Coun- ty, whether they have graduated to the "degenerate" over 30 age bracket or have been drawn into the ranks of the "effeminate corps of emasculated intellectuals" - are in the midst of experiencing a rude awakening. The celebrated vision of an "America the Beautiful" is being harshly replaced vwtli tin' more realistic pictures of a nation |>ervaded with eye MTU ind gross human conditions.

Warning Given To
Students On Drug
Usage On Campus
Dr. Willett held his first press conference of the 1970-71 school year on October 1 in the Gold Room. He welcomed a full crowd, explaining to new people that personalities are not involved in such conferences.
A great deal of the period was spent discussing narcotics. Dr. Willett was very firm on this stand about drugs. If at any time, there is sus- picion of narcotics present in a girl's room, Dr. Willett or Dr. Blackwell can and wili authorize a search of that room. There need be no advance warning of such a search, and the resident of the room need not be present. Using narcotics is a federal offense. The courts have given the college the privilege of handling its own cases. The school Judicial Board ap- proaches all areas with the assump- tion that a student is Innocent. In a suspension case, there is an automatic review by a faculty and student committee. A student may appeal her case.
When asked if narcotics was much of a problem at Longwood, Dr. Willett stated that there has been one case this year; the girl was suspended, but on the college's recommendation she was not prosecuted. Dr. Willett indicated that he is stressing this information as a warning.
On the question of prior notice to a demonstration, Dr. Willett replied that any event on campus must be registered on the college calendar and arrangement for facilities must be made. No disruptive event will be tolerated.
Dr. Land, director of the new campus school, has asked that student observers dress as they would for teaching. Pants suits are acceptable, if they are suitable for teachers.
