Our Town Succeeds With

Multi-Talented Cast By BRIDGET SCHERZ

"Y'know, Babylon had two million people in it, an 1 all we know about 'm is the names of their kings ..."

"Our Town," presented last week by the Longwood Players and the Department of Speech and Dramatic Arts, is Thorton Wilder's affirmation of beauty in the ordinary "acts" of living — The Daily Life, Love and Marriage and Death. Out of Wilder's theatrical tune capsule unfolds an animated portraiture of Grover's Corners, a small New Hampshire town at the turn of the twentieth century.

Our host throughout the play is the Stage Manager who, apparently well versed in the "busyings" and "dallyings" of the residents of "Our Town", makes all the necessary introductions, supplies a little town history and places the action in context of a time and setting. Lee Tatum, with his hat cocked back on his head and hi3 thumbs tucked in his belt did a fantastic portrayal of ihe stage Manager as he saunters leisurely into interludes and action of the play to interject a little simple,

aown-home explanation of things. In his interpretation of the Stage Manager, Mr. Tatum seemed to embody in the speech, stance, and gesture of the character a sense of the New England way of perceiving life that made his character so credible. One problem however that is a kind of dialectical discrepancy — instead of a New England accent, Mr. Tatum had more ting«3 of a Western or perhaps Southern one. However, the manner in which Mr. Tatum spoke with his "visitors" to Grover's Corners, far outdistanced this shortcoming in credibility.

The remainder of the cast comprises a sociological "Noah's Ark" of the types of "ordinary folk" one might expect to meet in a town such as Grover's Corners. There is a boy, George Gibbs, and of course a girl, Emily Webb, played by Hank Dahlman and Kerry McCarthy. Both wisely tempered the element of innocence to their advantage, charming the audience with its humor rather than provoking them with an excess of sugared gullibility. Hank and Kerry, as

most of the other major characters, directed their speech and gestures to another character clearly and forcefully enough so that the audience did not have any difficulty "overhearing". Henry Emerson and John Hudson, as the tathe-s ot George and Emily also gave effective portrayals. The roles of the mothers played by Vicky Mann and Barbara Wood presented an added challenge in that they required an extra helping of mime in acting out the daily household chores. Both actresses effectively conveyed that sense of detachment blended with an almost instinctive need to fuss over their children that is associated with the New England mother of that time.

Although this particular interpretation of the play did not lend itself to a technical extravaganza, there was solid evidence of some hard labor invested and a job well done The lighting special of the coi.stellation in the death scene was a nice touch in that it put what Wilder was saying in a universal perspective — both the

The Dining Hall Committee at its meeting on September 22, 1977, discussed the problems which occurred at the last Birthday Dinner. Residence Board requests that students cooperate with the Dining Hall Committee in trying a new method of entering the Dining Hall for Birthday Dinner.

Groups of S are to enter by way of the porch on the east side of the

Dining Hall and through the double doors on that side.

Groups of less than 8 are to enter by way of the main door. They are asked to please try to get a group of 8 before entering the Dining Hall.

The west door of the Dining Hall will still be used as the exit. Your cooperation will be most appreciated.

people of Grover's Corners and the audience are under one sky. The shift from warm to cool illumination when the Gibbs stepped outside to smell the flowers was also evidence of crew's awareness of detail. The costumes were appropriate to the needs of the characters and what changes there were appeared to have been made smoothly. Likewise, the set crew moved in quickly and got the job of moving

things done quietly. According to the program (and

which I suppose is ultimately always the case) there were some "concerned citizens" of "Our Town" who did double-time on different crews or between acting and tech. And I hope that they realize their personal ovation, along with everyone else that has worked so hard, in the pleasure that this production has given to those who have seen it.

As Oktoberfest 1977 Nears The Herman Festival

By DEBBIE NORTHERN Beer, fellowship, and fun are the trademarks of the German

festival, Oktoberfest. The carnival, held in Munich, celebrates the annual season of buying and selling, feasting, merrymaking, and drinking. This year it was held from September 17-October 2. |

Oktoberfest originated in 1810 when Max Joseph of Barvaria gave a grand party to celebrate his son Ludwig's marriage to Theresa of Sachenhildenburghausen. It was such a success that the people clamored for it to be an annual event, and the site where it is held to this day was renamed Theresienweise, after Theresa

At the festival are booths, rides, the roasting of animals over open fires, agricultural shows and horse racing.

Mrs. Betty Kidder, Treasurer of Longwood, was fortunate enough to have been able to go on the Longwood College Alumni Association's trip to Munich from September 16-27.

While in Germany, she went to the top of the Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany; to the royal castle, Neuschein; to Oberammergau, home of the famous woodcutters. Also she visited the Olympic Village of the 1972 Olympics and saw where Mark Spitz won his seven gold medals.

In addition to sight-seeing, Mrs. Kidder went to Oktoberfest three nights. She was fascinated by the enormous beer halls where each beer distiller sells his own special blend of beer, serves food, and brass bands provide entertainment. There were about 10 beautifully decorated halls. Mrs. Kidder, who does not normally enjoy beer, found the German brew "delicious." She also said the people were extremely friendly and that "fellowship was the main thing." Mrs. Kidder was amazed that the barmaids could carry four one-liter mugs in each hand.

There was also a parade which lasted for 24 hours with units from many different countries, German beer wagons, and German costumes.

Mrs. Kidder feels that Longwood's traditional Oktoberfest "captures the spirit" of the German festival.

Reds And Greens Busy When asked about

Oktoberfest plans, Sara Jo Wyatt, chairman, said, "Everything is looking good!" Reds and Greens are busy every night practicing skits and building and painting sets. Cheerful posters have been placed all over campus, and the balloons for the weekend have arrived.

The fun and enthusiastic group of Klowns is also hard at work. The ushers and usherettes are learning their dance. There are many new and exciting things planned for this year's festivities.

A puppet show sponsored by the Student Union will be an added attraction this year. Sara Jo said, "It is for all the kids at heart." Another difference in this year's Oktoberfest is the fact that the weekend activities will be extended through Sunday when a concert sponsored by S-UN will be held on Lankford Mall.

Sara Jo concluded by explaining that all the shows this year will have at least one performance in the morning. Therefore, it will be easier to see all of them without conflicts with the Midway and Hockey game. She said, "Everything is falling into place."

New Chemistry Professor

Plans Seminar

By PAMELA L. McDOWELL One of the new faculty

members on campus is Dr. Berwyn E. Jones, a Welshman from Lincoln County, Nebraska. Dr. Jones received his Bachelor's degree from Nebraska Wesleyan University, and his Phd. from Kansas University. His previous teaching experiences include twelve years at Monmouth College. Illinois, where he pioneered the Keller plan leaching, and two years at Upper Iowa University. When speaking ol coining to Virginia to teach at [xmgwood College, Dr. Jones commented, T found the offer at 1 xmgwood exciting. Five years ago this college didn't have any Chemistry majors. This year we will be graduating nine. The facultj IN excellent and the students enthusiastic' At the present time Dr. Jones is teaching classes consisting of General Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry. Students taught by Di Jones will study chemical literature in the library and also learn to >:ive seminars. The Seniors will give seminars on their projects of subjects from other seminars.

Of the teaching profession Dr. Jones remarked. Of all professions, teaching is the only one where the professional's purpose is to render his service to the consumer. A teacher teaches a student to think and the student should put emphasis on the ability to solve problems."

During the next several years, Dr. Jones is interested in obtaining outside funding for scientific equipment. These grants would come from Science

This year Dr. Jones has instituted the first Chemistry Seminar. The seminar has been on the curriculum for several years but never materialized. This seminar, which enrolls all Chemistry majors, exposes students to all facets of chemistry that are not a part of the normal undergraduate curriculum. Dr. Jones also explained that visiting lecturers are scheduled to appear at longwood, one of whom is Dr. Hawkridge, a professor from V.C.U. He will appear October 17th and speak on light reactions in green plant Photosynthesis.

Why Is That Art? By LINDA CARRILLO

"Why is That Art?" is the topic of Jeff Davis' lecture tomorrow night, and also a question often asked by viewers of 19th and 20th century art.

One of the Virginia Museum's Visual Awareness series, Mr. Davis' lecture will deal with the characteristics that constitute a work of art.

In addition to his discussion, he plans to present slides of representative works of the major movements in the two periods from such artists as Paul

Cezanne, Piet Mondrian, Marcel Duchamp, and Andy Warhol.

A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, the artist has also studied philosophy at the University of Erlanger, West Germany. His work has been displayed in Virginia and Washington, DC. in both one- man and group shows.

The public is invited to attend the Jef* Davis lecture and slide presentation at the Bedford Auditorium, October 5 at 3:00 p.m.

Show (Hoses Tomorrow

Photography Varied

In Subjects By CONNIE BARBOUR

This week the Showcase Gallery in Lankford exhibited the photographic talents of Lazelle Webb Parker. Miss Parker displayed over twenty black and white photographs showing her obvious talent The photographs ranged from close-ups to long distance shots, landscapes, animals and people. Different lighting, developing and exposure techniques were used to achieve a variety of her prints, such as in one titled "trilog>", three sett of three photographs. A technique employing the use of back lighting to produce a silhouette-effect is exhibited in

the photograph titled "Babes". Miss Parker's shots are well

taken, well developed and well arranged. They are interesting and appealing to the viewer because they have been taken at various angles and perspectives to show depth and distance. They also display a variety of personal interests. "Oyster Festival '76 Series" is a series of ten photographs showing several events of the festival. Others, like "Kentucky Road" and "Fall 1976" possess a clear, crisp quality inviting to the eye.

The public is invited to view this exhibit in the reading Rooms of the Lankford Building through October 5.

Three Seniors

Receive

Scholarships

By LINDA CARRILLO Three seniors were the

recipients of Ixmgwood's newly- established Art Department Scholarship Awards. Donna Athey, studio art major, Susan Harrell in art education, and Mary LaPrade, an art history student, each received $100.

The requirements which corresponded to the three separate fields inohided a portfolio of works, projects in art education, and research papers.

The scholarships, which were open to all junior and senior art majors, were supported by the Oktoberfest Art Auction '76.

Color And Movement Displayed

In Alexick's Exhibit By PAM KELLETT

Have you been thinking about color lately? Probably not. The colors around campus are pretty consistant, red brick, green plants, blue sky, khaki pants and regulation alligator shirts. Well, Bedford Gallery offers you a definite change with David Alex- ick's exciting exhibit of sixteen paintings.

Each piece is a design impression that further elaborates the theories of Cezanne and Matisse. Color and well thought out movements demand attention.

One of the first paintings you see is "Apollo Image: Androgynos Reach", a brilliant and cheerful pink, yellow and orange image of rocket shapes reaching for the sky. gently strained by contrasting black and green. The painting next to it, "Apollo Image: Promethean

Music Fraternity

To Present Musicale By FRANCESHALL

Sigma Alpha Iota, the honorary music fraternity, will present a Musicale on Thursday, October 6 at 8:00 p.m. in Molnar Recital Hall. Those students who will perform in the Musicale are new pledges in the fraternity and will be initiated at the end of this month.

"The Musicale is one of the requirements for their initiation," stated Robin Hewlitt, president of S.A.I., "Pledges

most demonstrate a certain degree of musicianship to become members."

The students who w»ll perform in the Musicale are Susan Carpenter, Sandy Chambers, Kristen Holberg, Nelle Jones, Tony Kent, Sandy Martin, Abby McChesney, Rene Rowland, and Vicki Thomas. There will be piano, violin and vocal selections. A reception will follow the Musicale and the public is invited to attend.

Flame" is a cooler impression. A true blue flood of space envelopes small darting orange shapes and a yellow sun with a hint of green below.

On a different side of the Universe, a tropical explosion of color commands a different im- pression. In Tropic", a mix- ture of warm and cool colors converges in a meeting of circles. The green and pink forms, supported by a wafting hi in- foreground in "Martinique" seems to depict a map of islands.

On a different; more geometrical plane, "Cardwall Point Beacon" and "Beyond the Landscape: Color, Cosine, Tangent" show colors actively reacting to each other with strong contrasting black influence.

Some of his most interesting paintings are the result of still life studies. For example, a cool "Still Life Ixindscape" stares out of a 3-dimensional broken gold circk with purple and green fighting against each other for bright yellow spots. A warmer "Still life in Green, Orange and Purple" represents a more elegant approach using the unfinished appeal of white canvas. Here, a simple contrast of aqua and magenta with orange hold together a stronger linear design.

The entire exhibit seems to be, in 'tself, an episode of color composition. You don't have to really understand what you're seeing—it's one of those things that, even if you don't spend a lot of time with it, you won't easilv forget.

FROM THE EDITOR .

Next Saturday is the last day for Virginia Citizens

lo register to vote. Election day is November 8, at

which time not only will the nexl governor be decided

upon, but also the fate of the Virginia Bonds.

Remember, a new gymnasium can only be constructed

it the Referendum is passed. If you are not registered

by October 8, you may not vote; Longwood needs your

vote.

After two incidents which have recently happened,

I personally am convinced that additional room is

needed in the Health and Physical Education

Department. A few days ago in a swimming class, Dr.

Johnson wanted to show a film, but the only available

place to show it was in the lifeguard office at the pool.

The office, approximately the size of a postage stamp

(one of the rectangular ones), had to seat about twenty

students. With space at a premium, a screen was

replaced by a folded shower curtain hung on the office

door.

Last week end after the soccer game with

Christopher Newport, in which Goalie Joe Link was

injured, the whirlpool was needed. Do you know where

the whirlpool is located, or rather tucked away. Two

friends needed to contact Joe and knew only that he

was wherever the whirlpool was. Neither campus

police nor the infirmary nurse could tell the two where

to find it or him. Finally they walked into French and

screamed "Hey Joe." The coach and athletic trainer

heard them and led them back through the equipment

rooms to the whirlpool.

Obviously, additional space would be an asset to

the department. You can help alleviate the present

situation — Vote Yes for Virginia Bonds.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Judicial Board Support

Dear Editor, I feel that some individuals on

Longwood College are not being very fair. Individuals that do not even know the judicial board members are simply tearing them apart with derogatory remarks. I know a few of the judicial board members and per- sonally, I feel that there are no nicer people on campus. I know that judicial board did not or would not do any of the utterly ridiculous things mentioned in September 27 edition of the Ro- tunda, just to do them or because

the deans suggest. Judicial board members are doing their job, what they were elected to do. If males want positions on the board, then let them run against the females and we will see if the campus really wants men to represent the justice of the campus. 1 feel that judicial board is doing a fine job. I've been with one of the board members when she was called out at 12:00 midnight on judicial board business not to return until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. To me, that position does not seem too desirable. But yet, she does it, knowing that it is late and she could be sleeping, knowing that the next day she will get all kinds of comments thrown at her by students who only know the one side of the story. I feel that it is not fair to the judicial board members to be jumped upon for doing a job that many other people on campus would not want. Stop and think the next time you pass judgment - you're judging judicial board before you have all of the evidence, so who are you to talk?

Concerned Freshman

A Lot Of Good

At Longwood

Dear Editor, We believe we can speak for

many others on this campus when we say we would like to see the Rotunda return to its original purpose — to inform the student body of events on campus. Why waste so much energy and space to matters concerning only a few students? It seems to us much more beneficial and informative to include articles explaining proposals brought up at the Student Faculty Retreat, and events occurring in the music department as well as in other departments on campus. Contrary to the comments going around the campus, we feel that there is still a lot of good here at I.ongwood, and we can either spend our time complaining because rosebushes have thorns or rejoice because thornbushes have roses.

Sincerely, AnnWyatt

Gretchen Rogers Displays

Handwoven Art By DEBBIE MOUL

Knit one, pearl two, crochet needles and sewing machines could not yield a more culturally antiquated exhibit than that of Gretchen Rogers, now open to the public in the Lancaster Library Gallery from September 30- October 24, 1977. The articles on display range from simple belts done in an array of colors to the most elaborate handwoven jackets similar to those that one might view in Sack's 5th Avenue display window.

Mrs. Rogers has been weaving for six years and has wanted to weave forever. She has studied and been educated in schools in Ohio, Massachusetts, England, Iceland, New Foundland, Israel, and Virginia. Mrs. Rogers studied weaving at Newton College, in Newton, Massachusetts. She possesses a B.A. degree in Adult Education and is a member of both the Handweavers' Guild of America and Richmond Weavers.

Mrs. Rogers was first exposed to colors and textures of the beautiful countryside, having been reared in rural Ohio.

Through weaving, with the. use of contemporary color**1 and designs, she is able to keep faith or continuity with the past. Weaving is something that people have always done, and through it Mrs. Rogers finds pleasure in bringing beauty into the everyday home. She enjoys making beautiful things that people might readily use, specializing in clothing and creations for the home. Handwoven clothing articles must be shaped on a loom and therefore have no seams, often making them longer-lasting and more endurable as were clothes in the days of old. When weaving, one takes a lot of time in just threading the loom, sometimes as long as two days.

Mrs. Rogers likes old things and houses. Her husband, two daughters and she reside in a 1000-1820 vintage farmhouse on three acres of land in Worsham, Virginia. When visiting, one may be welcomed by an influx of animals; two sheep, one dog, one rabbit, and assortment of hens (which supply them with eggs), chickens, baby chicks and two

"insomniac roosters. * Willie, a terrier, is the latest addition to the family.

The original house has,been added on to. It is a large house with twelve foot high ceilings, white mantles, brick fireplaces throughout the house and it is furnished with antiques. Mrs. Rogers has a country yellow kitchen with a large picture window enabling her to gaze out over the land. In the evenings, deer may be seen cavorting across the fields. Yellow gingham curtains hang above a yellow wooden sink and a huge asparagus fern hangs in a smaller window, the setting undoubtedly picturesque and similar to one that Laura Ingalls Wilder might use in describing their "Little House on the Prairie." Up the banister ^d stairs, we come to "Her Corner," her 44" loom facing a large window. Outside is a seemingly immortal pecan tree, having reached the ripe old age of 200 years. Pecan nuts lay scattered upon the ground.

Mrs. Roger's attitude about farm living and eating their own

Open Mike Features

New Talent By TWINKIE PLANT

The first Open Mike of the fall semester was held in the Gold Room last Wednesday night, presenting many new faces of those performing the talent we have here on this campus.

The night began to "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" sung by Bonnie Bnggs, Bonnie Connor, and Cindy Cummins. Rusty Harley then joined Bonnie Connor in an original piano piece that he had composed. A bit of Neil Young was captured as Dave Wilson and Steve Druen hit the audience with "Helplessly Hoping'] among other favorites.

Not only was Neil Young in the picture, but the style of Carly Simon was clearly shown aj

Kelly Helms began "Anticip- ation". Kelly also sang a couple of her own songs; the first tune on trust. Kelly feels that 'in any relationship two people have, if you don't have trust you really don't have anything." Her song implies the same.

Performing once again this year is Carol Brooks on the piano. Carol is a music major and played many pieces by Dan Fogelberg, James Taylor, and Barbara Streisand.

To tie things up for the evening Craig White changed the mood beginning with "Pidrin' to "Beat The Devil". He sang many others that deal with social commentation.

"My favorite music is one that

grown food is exemplified when she says "I want the children to know that all meat is not cellophane wrapped in the grocery store." The Rogers have a one acre garden and fruit trees. They have considered getting a cow but Mrs. Rogers does not like the strenuous idea of having to milk the cow. There have been times when the family has sat down to dinner and everything

has been home grown except the milk, butter md cheese.

Mrs. Rogers simplicity and down-to-earth nature are clearly seen through her work. Many of the disDlav items in the Gallery are for sale.

Take the time to observe and enjoy the many creations on exhibit,and if possible speak with Gretchen Rogers. She is a very fascinating woman.

Dr. Sprague To Co-Star

In 'Dear Liar'

By PAULA JOHNSON

Dr. Rosemary Sprague of Longwood's English Department will be appearing with the Daniel Players in the preformance of the play Dear Liar by Jerome Kilty. The play will be held October 6-8 at 8:30 p.m. at the Southside Community College, John H. Daniel Campus, in Keysville.

Dr. Sprague, in the role of Mrs. Patrick Campbell, will be co- starring with Dudley Sauve who plays George Bernard Shaw. Dear Liar is a dramatization of the correspondences between Mrs. Patrick Campbell and George Bernard Shaw, whose friendship lasted for 40 years.

Dr. Sprague was asked to play the part of Mrs. Campbell by Dudley Sauve, who is also the director of the Daniel Players.

Dr. Sprague said that Mr. Sauve and she had talked about doing the play before, but their schedules were always in conflict.

Mrs. Campbell came through an era when a star was expected to be a star. She was always giving a performance. Said Dr. Sprague of Mrs. Campbell: "She was a professional from the word 'go.' She was well educated and an accomplished pianist. The letters reveal numerous facets of her life."

When asked how she fell about the plav, Dr. Sprague said, "I love it. It represents a challenge forme." V» as she excited9 "Quite excited - and very nervous."

makes social commentary. Its fairly easy to write editorials but to do the same thing by writing or playing music that makes a statement becomes more critical to the audience because they see yo'j do it."

Craig polished the evening off by doing an original ballard "I felt I had to make my opinion known. Some people can write into what has been happening on this campus. I hope that people will continue to direct letters to the editor on ANY issue they feel important."

This first open mike was a success featuring many talents. Sign up sheets are available in the Student Union Center for the next open mike. Everyone is encouraged to participate.

Tennis Team Easily

Defeats Averett Uy DEBBIE NORTHERN

The I/mgwood Tennis team took an easy win over Averett last Tuesday, 8-1, to bring the team to a 3-2 record. Coach Phyliss Harriss commented that the competition was "not the toughest" but she felt the team was giving their all." Coach Harriss also felt that the team needs "work on placement."

Some members of the tennis team paired up with faculty members and male students to take on Mary Washington in a mixed doubles match last Wednesday. The match, which Iiongwood lost 1-5, was just for fun and does not count in the seasonal record. I-ongwood will have a chance to get even with Mary Washington in mixed doubles when a team travels to compete against them on April 21, 1978.

The next home tennis match is October 6 at 3:00 p.m. against VCU. Today I-ongwood travels to

Staunton to face Mary Baldwin College.

Webb Places Third

In Invitational By DEBBIE NORTHERN

Longwood College golfer, Kay Smith, placed third, with a score of 83, in the championship flight of the Mary Baldwin Invitation Tournament held September 30- October 1. Twelve colleges from Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina were represented. The winner was Brenda Baker of Madison who shot an 81.

The golfers played as individuals in flights determined by their season scores, thus they

played against golfers of their own level. Other Longwood golfers to gain recognition at the Tournament were Becky Webb, who came closest to the pin on the 18th hole, and Penny Stevens and Deborah Hood, who won prizes in their respective flights.

Coach Barbara Smith says she was "not happy with the way they scored as a team." She added that with practice they should be prepared to play well Wednesday when they travel to William and Mary.

Fencers To

Also Sharon DeBiase, a member of the Olympic Fencing Squad, and Linda Vollkommer, Fencing Coach of Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, will be assisting her.

So far four fencers have signed up to go to the clinic, which will concentrate on footwork, strategy, repair of electrical fencing equipment, new rule changes, and officiating.

Longwood's Fencing season will begin with preseason practices November 1 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in Barlow Gym. The first match begins November 12 at the Washington Intercollegiate Open at the University of Maryland.

Soccer Loses Aggressiveness

Falls To Liberty Baptist

Longwood's one goal scored on a direct kick by Kotnornlk

Photo: Nancy Cotter

By Margaret Hammersley The soccer team seemed to lose

their aggressiveness last - Thursday, suffering another defeat, on the road at Liberty Baptist. With the final score Longwood 1, liberty Baptist 8, I.ongwood's one goal came 25 minutes into the second half as David Komornik scored on a direct penalty kick.

Trying to combat their weaknesses, the team members are going back to practicing the basic fundamentals of soccer. What is it going to take to play and win? "Plain hard work," answered Coach Williamson.

Although the team is a varsity team, the coach commented, "We are still a beginning soccer team." At this point the team has some learning to do. "It'll take a year or two to reach the proficiency level of the other teams," Williamson added.

With liberty Baptist domi- nating the game, they scored five goals first half and pre- vented Longwood from mov- ing into her own offensive zone. Liberty Baptist's Lawson, assisted by Kirim, scored six and

a half minutes into play. Two and a half minutes later, goalie Joe link fumbled a save allowing Barclay to score. Liberty Baptist's third goal was scored by Rascher, 214 minutes into the half. The final two goals of the half came within a minute of each other. With ten minutes left in the half, link left the immediate area of the goal to take the ball away from Wemp, who passed to Kirim to score. The situation was repeated as Wemp scored the fifth goal, assisted by Barclay. Longwood's trouble was the lack of support behind link.

The second half brought Ix>ngwood their one goal, and Liberty Baptist three goals. Fifteen minutes into play Bates assisted Hammond for goal number six. Bates assisted the number seven goal scored by Kirim.

A tripping penalty allowed Komornik his direct kick to score.

The game's final goal, scored by Wemp, assisted by Kirim, left I-ongwood down, 1-8.

Thursday, October 6 at 4 p.m., Longwood hosts Mary Washington.

SPORTS Equestrian Major Offered

At Colleges

Page? THE ROTUNDA Tuesday. October 4, 1977

By DEBBIE NORTHERN Are you tired of the same old

majors like English, Art, Home Economics? H^w would you like to major in Equestrian Studies? If so, you would have to attend a college like lake Eric College, a private woman's college in Painesville, Ohio, to take advantage of this offering.

Lake Erie has classes in Equine Nutrition, which is about a horse's digestive system and feed; Equine Health; and Stable Management, about teaching, design, financing, taxation —

even how to sell manure to mushroom farmers. Also offering are courses entitled Methods and Materials of Teaching Riding and Musculoskeletal Dysfunction, which is taught by Veternarian Richard Chamberlain and is about "60 common equine hip and leg ailments."

Extracurricular activities include dressage, equitation, jumping, cross country, and fox hunting.

According to Women Sports Magazine, "The idea is to combine a liberal arts education

with a practical career training to produce the renaissance horsewoman."

About 50 per cent of the 190 students in the Fall 1977 Freshman class came for the horse studies. Lake Erie's riding facilities include 440 acre Morely Farm, with stables, bridle trials, and an indoor equestrian center. The school has 30 mounts of its own and 60 students provide their own horses.

Their big event is the annual Prix de ..Ville Jumping and Dressage show in April. This is equivalent to a homecoming at other colleges.

The first program graduates have had much success, 2u*out of a class of 29 have entered horse related jobs.

Charlotte Bayby, a graduate, has oecome head trainer at Fox Run Farm in Ohio and two other graduates show horses for Hugh Wiley, a former Olympian.

The only fear for the program is that there might not be enough jobs for all the Equitation Studies majors since other schools have begun to have similar programs. Lake Erie's program was instituted to increase the school's enrollment, which it has done significantly.

In Virginia such colleges as Averett, Radford and VPI offer Equitation or horse science majors and minors. Longwood has riding classes, a riding team, and a riding club, the Lancers. Ms. Sally Bush, riding team coach and riding instructor notes that horsemanship has "exploded in the last 10 years" throughout the country.

Hockey Team Crushes Tech

And Cavalier Club Terry Voit, Juli Dayton, and

Cathy Ix)we led the scoring attack for the Longwood College field hockey team in last Tuesday's 4-0 win over Virginia Tech.

"It sure makes life a lot easier," admitted LC Coach Dee McDonough after the victory on IiOngwood's Barlow Field. The coach noted some definite improvements in her team: "They were more aggressive today. They talked to each other more and worked together more."

Citing the team's biggest weakness as "lacking that second wave of attack," McDonough noted, "That's something that could hurt us later on."

McDonough commended Theresa Ware, Cathy Lowe, and Wanda Peterson for keeping the defense moving, thus holding the Tech team scoreless.

Juli Dayton scored on Longwood's third offensive drive seventeen minutes into the first

half. The more aggressive Longwood team made seven shots at the goal during the half, while the Gobblers took only one.

Leading 1-0 after the first half. Longwood executed good defense in the second half and prevented Tech from making direct shots at the goal. Longwood missed some good scoring opportunities early in the half but continued its aggressive offense, taking thirteen shots at the goal.

Terry Voit scored her first goal with sixteen minutes off the clock. As I.<ongwood continued to penetrate the Tech territory, Cathy Ix)we scored for Longwood with ten minutes remaining in the game, and four minutes later Terry Voit scored her second goal.

The JV team advanced to a 1-1 record after defeating Virginia Tech 2-0. Freshman Donna Deats and Sophomore Debi Kinzel each shot a goal. Defensively the team looked very good, keeping the ball out of the striking circle. The

Riding Team In

First Varsity Season

By DEBBIE NORTHERN Coach Sally Bush and the

Longwood riding team are looking forward to their first full year of being classified as a Varsity Intercollegiate sport. Ms. Bush is predicting a successful season, which lasts the entire school year.

"Last year's riding team was very successful considering it was hard to find facilities and horses for practice." said Ms. Bush, referring to the fact that the team had no set practice time and did not have varsity status until the spring. Last year the team took 21 ribbons in competition.

Tne Longwood team is a member of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association, along with 12 other colleges. This years's riding team will be competing in seven divisions, the Walk-Trot, with Beginner and Advanced Classes; the Walk- Trot-Canter, with Beginner and Advanced classes; Novice on the Flat; Open on the Flat; Novice horsemanship over fences; and Open horsemanship over fences. The Association also has two Alumni divisions.

Sixteen riders tried out, with only eight making the team The riders for this year are Freshmen

Alice Bartlet from Gloucester who has nine years jumping experience, Leslie Henry from Williamsburg, who has i years experience jumping, Sally I-owe from Staunton. Rhonda Powell who has five years flat riding experience, and Anne Powers from Richmond who has been showing jumpers for five years. Other team members are Juli Tracy Nokesville with five years experience in both juni; and fla», Junior Meg McDona.,1 from Annandale. Senior Kathie Marth from Edgewater Park, New Jersey and Freshmen Reserve Rider U'anne Mattox, who both have four j experience jumping and fl.

According to Ms. Hush, I-ongwood has a "very young team", but they all have experience. She says, "Hopefully next year we can increase the team."

Their opening show is at The Barracks" at the University of Virginia, where this year's Regionals will also be held. I/mgwood will be assisting in the administration at the Regionals.

On October 21, the Fall lancer's Horse Show will be held at 1:00 p.m. Joanne Jones from Buckingham County will be the judge.

on George Washington but was defeated in two out of three games, 2-15, 16-14, 15-12. VPI placed first in the tournament, George Washington second, Madison third, and Longwood finished last.

Coach Carolyn Price felt the team played hard," but that Saturday they were up against big colleges with tough teams. She felt that the season is off to a good start.

Tonight the volleyball team will go to Lynchburg to play against Randolph-Macon Women's College and Ijbcrty Baptist. Wednesday night will be their first home game against Hollins at 6:30 p.m., with the second team playing at 7:30.

Longwood offense dominated by keeping the ball down at Tech's defensive end for the major part of the game.

Saturday Longwood played host to the Cavalier Club of Richmond. Longwood came away with a 7-0 win to boost their season record to 3-1. In the first half Carol Filo and Terry Voit each put in one goal and Terry Donahue lead the scoring with two goals. Carol Filo and Terry Voit popped in another goal each, with half time substitute Debi Kinzel adding another score in the second half. Robin Rowen did not have much action come her way, only having to clear the ball once.

Since the Cavaliers did not have enough players to make up a second team, the longwood JV only took them on for a 25 minute contest. Longwood's offense controlled the game, but was unable to score leaving the game a scoreless tie.
