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.

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.

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.

Seniors Receive Blazers; Honored At Banquet
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 Erdman, Peggy Shultz, Stephanie du- Ross, and Linda Martin.
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

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.

If I had a bell, I'd paint it in the morning, but it was done at night!
in varsity sports, intramural class and color teams, and by serving on the board of officers and committees.
"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!

Administrators Meet To Discuss School Programs, Issues
Area school superintendents met at Longwood College on Saturday, Sep- tember 21. Attending the meeting were Longwood administrators and their wives: Dr. and Mrs. Henry Willett, Dr. and Mrs. Herbert Blackwell, Dr. and Mrs. Clurles Patterson, and Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Dalton. Area super- intendents and their wives included Mr. and Mrs. G. Hunter Jones of Campbell, Mr. L. 0. McGhee of Char- lotte, Mr. and Mrs. E. Armstrong Smith of Cumberland, Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Hodge of Dinwiddie, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ciuffin, Jr. of Halifax- South Boston, Mr. and Mrs. James W. Thweatt of Lunenburg, Mr. and Mrs. Blanton of Nottoway, and Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Caldwell of Powhatan. Also attending the meeting were Mr. and Mrs. James Anderson, Jr., principal of Central High in Buckingham, and Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Payne, director of Instruction in Mecklenburg.
Following registration in the ABC Room, Mrs. Willett took the ladies on a bus tour of the campus and the estates. The superintendents met in the ABC Room to discuss the program in the school. Some of the topics in- cluded the Graduate program at Long- wood, the bond referendum, the Long- wood College Forensic Tournament for Southside Virginia high schools, and the Virginia Association of Student Government meeting to be held here in October.
After the discussion, the superin- tendents and administrators had lunch in the dining hall and later attended the Hampden-Sydney football game.

Sing Out South Group Sings For World Peace
Monday, Sept. 30, 7 p.m. C room in Lankford
A film produced by Encyclo- pedia Britannica will be shown and there will be a speaker to introduce any interested students to the teachers aide program.
The Richmond, Virginia, cast of "Sing Out South" entertained in Jar- man Auditorium on Friday, Septem- ber 20, at 8 o'clock p.m. in honor of the freshmen and transfer students.
"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
NEW FACULTY (Continued from Page 1)
Buteau, Wayne K. Meshejian, assis- tant professor of physics, joined the natural sciences department. Mr. Meshejian received the B.S. degree from Samford University and the M.S. degree from Virginia Polytechnic Ins- titute, where he was an assistant in the physics laboratory.
Two instructors, Carolyn R. Calla- way and Judith Ann Fath, have been added to the physical and health edu- cation department. Miss Callaway re- ceived her B.S. degree from University of Maryland and M.S. from University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Miss Fath received her B£. degree from Boston University and M.S. from Uni- versity of North Carolina at Greens- boro.
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 meetings with vari- ous officials of the college. Each visit- ing sorority will have three meetings with the members of the administra- tion, Panhellenic officers, and sorority advisors. Meeting sessions will be held for Alpha Delta Pi on Monday, Sep- tember 23, and for Alpha Omicron Pi on Wednesday, September 25. Alpha Phi will come on Thursday, September 26.
Two out of the three visiting so- rorities will be chosen to become new chapters on the Longwood campus by a vote of each of the nine existing so- rorities on October 1. The two chosen sororities will hold their rush in Lank- ford Building on February 23, 24, and 25, at which time representatives from other chapters of the two sororities will be on campus to help.
After rush their chapter meetings will be held in Lankford Building until the new High Rise Dorm is completed. Chapter Rooms will be provided in the new dorm for these selected sororities.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.
South has been rid of all ants thanks to several members of third floor.
If I had a bell, I'd paint it in the morning, but it was done at night!
in varsity sports, intramural class and color teams, and by serving on the board of officers and committees.
"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 Group Sings For World Peace
Monday, Sept. 30, 7 p.m. C room in Lankford
A film produced by Encyclo- pedia Britannica will be shown and there will be a speaker to introduce any interested students to the teachers aide program.
The Richmond, Virginia, cast of "Sing Out South" entertained in Jar- man Auditorium on Friday, Septem- ber 20, at 8 o'clock p.m. in honor of the freshmen and transfer students.
"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.
