Five-Day Week Approved By Faculty The end of the current school year
will bring an end to Saturday classes, as a new five-day week will become effective in September.
On Monday, April 8, the faculty approved the proposed schedule, which was presented by a faculty committee. Final approval came from the college President, Dr. Henry I. Willett, Jr.
Mr. Harold K. Magnusson, Regis- trar, headed the special committee appointed to study the possibility of eliminating Saturday classes. Other members included Dr. Charles Patter- son, Department of Education; Mr. Billy Batts, Science; Mrs. Eleanor Bobbitt, Physical Education; Mr. Fos- ter Gresham, English; Mr. Walter Hathaway, Art; and Mr. Robert Wu, Mathematics.
Mr. Magnusson collected several alternate schedules, which were distributed to the committee members before they met on Wednesday, March 27. The Registrar also traveled to Mary Washington College to discuss their schedule with the Assistant Dean there. The plans of the University of Virginia, George Mason College, and Lynchburg College were also studied.
The committee discussed first the pros and cons of adopting a five-day week, and then decided upon what they considered to be the best way of
putting it into effect at Longwood. Reasons for the change were given
as follows: 1. The new plan may prove to be
an aid in faculty recruitment. It is hoped that Longwood will now be in a better position to attract qualified teachers.

Choice 68 Invites Students To Vote In National Poll Today's college student differs
greatly from the student of the fifties. The student of those bygone days was running from the war, depression, and a whole array of personal and world problems.
However, the student of the 1960's appears to be a new breed; he has be- gun to answer the challenges facing him. His voice and opinions have been heard and have become a force in society; they have produced a noticeable effect on the American people.
On April 24, the voices of thous- ands of students will be heard again as the results of the nation's first Na- tional Collegiate Presidential Primary are tabulated. These results will influence the nation's thinking and the national candidates.
Choice '68, as the program is called, was inspired by students, is fi- nanced by "Time" magazine, and will be conducted by students on 1500 college campuses across the country. In this area, Longwood and Hampden-Syd- ney will be participating.
Campus coordinators, Mary Masse and Marcia Mitchell, Y-D and Y-R chairmen respectively, are making final arrangements for the primary at Longwood. They urge each student to study the ballot, to carefully consider her choice, and to vote in this primary on April 24. All information and results will have national coverage by "Time" and will be available to all media, both local and national.
Father Burghardt To Return To LC In Jarman Series

2. A realistic view noted that Sat- urday attendance is at best poor. It has been estimated that 30^ absen- teeism can be expected on Saturday mornings. By abolishing these classes, the administration hopes that total weekly cuts will decrease.
3. From the start, the faculty was overwhelmingly in favor of the change. They, too, enjoy having their Satur- days free, not only for travel, but also for attending professional meetings.
4. A five-day week is In keeping with a normal work schedule, in which most Longwood graduates wiU be work- ing.
There was only one major objec- tion to eliminating Saturday classes. Some feared a trend toward more class-cutting on Fridays. Mr. Mag- nusson, however, expressed confidence in the students. He believes them to be mature enough not to take advantage of the situation.
It was therefore decided that a new plan should be adopted. Several were studied, but the one approved by the faculty last Monday is believed to be the one most appropriate for the college. It is a modification of a schedule submitted by Dr. Robert T. Brumfield, of the Department of Nat- ural Sciences. It was chosen to bring the least amount of disruption to the present schedule.
The basic ideas for the new schedule, as released by the committee, are as follows:
1. MWF classes will not be affected; they will remain as at present.
2. All classes scheduled for 8- 8:50 TT will pick up the third 50- minute period at 1 p.m. on Tuesday.
3. All classes scheduled for 9- 9:50 TT will pick up the third 50- minute period at 1 p.m. on Thursday.
4. All classes scheduled for 10- 10:50 TT will pick up the third 50- minute period at 2 p.m. on Tuesday.
5. All classes scheduled for 11- 11:50 TT will pick up the third 50- minute period at 2 p.m. on Thursday.
6. This will leave the hours of 3- 3:50, 4-4:50, 5-5:50 TT open for two hour courses, art labs, and science labs.
7. Instructors may schedule 1-hour 15-minute classes on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons as at present if they so desire, although these classes should be in the 300, 400 range.
8. The evening hours from 7 p.m. on may also be utilized for classes if Instructors so desire, but these classes should be confined to Tuesday and Thursday evenings to allow open times for Artist Series, plays, and other assemblies. It should be noted that the usual assembly hour of lp.m.onTues- day will no longer be left open, and that assemblies will henceforth be held in the evenings.
9. The above procedure will tend to continue our present schedule in most cases, although some adjustments will be required in Tuesday and Thurs- day afternoon scheduling.
10. For those classes now scheduled for three 50-minute periods on MWF and for additional 50-minute periods on Tuesday and Thursday, but at different times from the MWF series, the schedule will be for five days at the same time. This will tend to eliminate scheduling difficulties.
11. For multi-section scheduling, classes will be distributed throughout tin entire possible range on an equal
so as to give flexibility in eliminating confli'
The preregistr.itIon held last week was a necessity dictated by the new schedule. It is expected to facilitate the different job of rescheduling.
In. Willett will hold a press conference on Tuesday, April 23, to answer any questions that the students may have con" iMII the change.

Five-Day Week Implies Harsher Cut Policy
The students and faculty alike are elated by the announcement of the five-day class system This system implies a longer weekend and greater responsibility
The plan involves the some number of hours as the six day week, but the hours will be crammed into a shorter span of time The schedule will be tight, compact, and full There must be as much work encompassed in five days that originally was stretched out over a six-day period This places a heavier burden on students and faculty
Likewise, the studying hours will, of necessity, be more time consuming and the cut policy will be harsher The students will be required to exert self-discipline The faculty is justified in expecting all students to attend all classes unless cutting is an absolute necessity Cutting Friday classes to leave on Thursday will be frowned on by the administration It is hoped that the students are mature enough not to take undue advantage of the situation
It is difficult to revise an old system to accomodate new pro- cedures, but it would take only one word to abandon the five-day week and go back to having Saturday classes If students do not cooperate with the administration to make the five-day week successful, the plan will be crushed and the six day week re-inaugurated
— M K M
Willett Favors Change To Five-Day Schedule
There are several factors that were considered in arriving at the decision to move to a five-day week One of the lesser known factors is the influence that the five-day week has in the recruitment of faculty In almost every instance of recent faculty recruitment, pros- pective faculty members have raised the question as to whether or not the Colleqe operated on a five-day or six-day basis.
Among the other factors considered in adopting the five-day schedule is the idea that it is more in keeping with the general pat- tern of American life as it now exists Eighty-five per cent of our graduates go on into teachinq and we feel that the five-day week more nearly corresponds to the time frame within which they will work after graduation
The only reservation that I personally had in moving to the five- day week was the question of developing a sound academic schedule within this period I believe that the committee, headed by Mr Magnusson, has developed such a schedule Considering this and the strong faculty and student sentiment for the five-day week schedule, I feel that it is in Longwood's best interest that this change be made

Dear Editor: We think that Mr. Gilbert Wood of
Lankford Building should be thanked for his cooperation with the student body.
Wednesday night was a fine example of his cooperation. Mr. Wood went to tin' trouble of splicing wires so that two of the TV sets could be placed in positions that would enable more students to watch the Adademy Awards. He was also on hand to adjust the P\ ts for the best pictures.
Thank you, Mr. Wood for your help and cooperation.

Happiness—Getting To See Someone On Friday Night Instead Of Saturday Afternoon!
Anguished LC Collegian Cries:
Does anybody have the time? This question, familiar to every
collegian, has probably been asked more at Longwood this week than on any other college campus! Talk about time "flying" - our time is really for the birds!
Since our return from spring break, we've found dorm clocks, classroom clocks, and dining room clocks to read different times. We can depend only on the school bell as a time guide. Unfortunately, by the time you've waited for the eighth dong, you're late for class. Or, to site another example, you may miss the first dong and after having heard only seven, you may kick yourself for waking so early, and as a consequence, miss your class. On the other hand, a student reported waking one morning at what she thought was 7:30 but found it to be only 5:30 a.m.
But more troubles arise as a result of not knowing the exact time. Pro- fessors, too, use the hall and classroom clocks as a time guide. They may go by the Grainger time and be five minutes late for a lecture in Hiner; and if the Hiner professor's lecture is held overtime, the Grainger professor is disturbed by student tardi- ness.
Meetings may be scheduled for certain times and we may be from five to twenty minutes late, and unaware of our lateness. For three days, one dorm clock has read 9:00. (Whether or not it is 9:00 a.m. or 9:00 p.m. seems a matter of little concern!) The Stevens clock (usually five minutes fast, anyway), has been twenty minutes fast, and the Cunningham clocks vary every hour. In less than three minutes, I witnessed a certain

clock change from 7 o'clock to 11 o'clock, and it was just 3:00 p.m.-I think.
Signing out may have its perils as long as incorrect time continues. A girl, leaving on adateat7:30(E.S.T.) may accidentally use her hall clock time - say 7:15. She may forget and set her wrist watch by this same time, and consequently be campused for a fifteen minute lateness. Even when our clocks were nearer correct time, the dorm clocks were two minutes faster than the bell. This has been the cause of several previous two-minute latenesses.
Big Ben - we need you! What can be done to synchronize our campus clocks? Definitely we've been faced with endless problems and are ex- pressing our concern, but who is responsible for keeping the clocks on time? One thing is certain, however — there are 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, 52 weeks in a year, and 366 days in 1968 - but what time is it now?
Home Ec Majors Model Wardrobes, "The Senior Year"
By JANET WALSH The Home Economics Spring Fash-
ion Show was held April 16, at 7:30 p.m. in the Gold Room of the Lankford Building. Fifty girls from the Home Economics department informally modeled the clothes they had made. The girls made an entrance from the balcony to appear before the audience gathered in the Gold Room. "The Senior Year" was the theme of the
in show which emphasized the wardrobe needs of the senior years. Clothes that were modeled included apparel needed in every senior girl's agenda for interviews, teas, and those
al occasions. Bright colors de- scribed the sport clothes and casual attire needed for current spring week- ends. Four seni'U iirl. narrated the
ram, They were Lillian Virostek, Susan FarrlS, Martha Lee, and Betty
nl Haley. Following the fashion show, refreshments were served in the A room and a clothing exhibit was on
. In the B room.

State FBLA Names Joyce Temple As Recipient Of Title
Joyce Temple, a Longwood College sophomore from Disputanta, has been named "Miss Future Business Teach- er" of Virginia. She succeeds Rose Mary Street, a 1967 Longwood grad- uate who won the national title of "Miss Future Business Teacher of America" last year.
Selected in recent state-wide competition held in Richmond, Miss Temple will represent the state at the national convention of Phi Beta Lambda, national organization for college business majors, to be held in Washing- ton, D.C., June 8-10.
The honor came to Miss Temple on the basis of her score on the national business entrance test and interviews with a panel of judges.
Active in the Y.W.C.A. and Phi Beta Lambda, she is business manager of the "Virginian," the college's annual.
Linda Hudson, a sophomore business major from Virgilina, has been elected treasurer of the state chapter of Phi Beta Lambda.
The group's Longwood chapter was named one of four honor chapters for the current year. Since the fraternity inaugurated its state awards program in 1957, a Longwood business education major on many occasions has been selected for the state title of "Miss Future Business Executive" or "Miss Future Business Teacher." Longwood's business education majors have won state first-place honors 10 times and first-place national honors three times.
Mrs. Frances N. Hamlett, instruc- tor in business education, is sponsor of the Longwood chapter.
LC Representatives Travel To Dallas IAWS Conference
On Thursday, March 28, Ann Ailor and Sally Heilman attended the Region III Intercollegiate Association of Wom- en Students (I.A.W.S.) Ann is the Vice Chairman of the Legislative Board and Sally is the Vice Chairman of the Judicial Board. Both girls are junior elementary education majors with Ann hailing from Hampton and Sally from Charlottesville.
The I.A.W.S. Conference was held at Dallas, Texas at the Hilton Inn and Southern Methodist University. The conference was held there because this year the National I.A.W.S. President is from Region III which includes most of the southern states, Tennessee, Mis- souri, Kentucky, and Arkansas. There are only two colleges other than Longwood that are in the I.A.W.S. from Virginia - Hampton and West- hampton. The theme of this year's conference was "Age of the Individ- ual."
On Thursday night at SMU the Attorney General of Texas, Waggoner Carr, spoke on "The Critical Age." His main point was that to be an individual in this critical age, one needs to be alert, aware, and take action.
On Friday morning Alpha Lambda Delta had a breakfast for all the girls in the sorority, and the different chapters had an opportunity to exchange Ideas. That afternoon Fortuna Calvo, woman journalist from Argentina who had been a war correspondent for the Dominican Republic conflict, spoke on "Vision of the Time - Challenge to Action." Also that day, there were business meetings, and the officers were elected for the next two years. Some resolutions were also made, to be sent to Congress, schools, or the state legislature to winch they pertain. One resolution was not to have re- structions on foreign travel for students. Another was not drafting grad- uate students. They also decided on a reevaluation of campus regulations, such as sign-out and curfews. Fri- day night the various dorms at SMU gave coffee hours for the states.
On Saturday Neiman-Marcus, the big Dallas department store, presented a fashion show with lunch at their store. About thirty outfits were modell- ed. That afternoon a psychology professor, an attorney, and a professor of education spoke on the educated woman's role in society today in a speech entitled "SUPER-COLLEGE- T A LENT - LACKING - GOSH - IS - IT- ATROCIOUS."

Congratulations to the Varsity Golf team on their 13-2 win over Lynchburg College last Saturday. The match,play- ed on the Longwood golf course, was the first one of the season. Tomorrow the team will travel to Staunton to play against Mary Baldwin and Madi- son. Bring back another victory!
Intramural Softball practices have just started and there is still time to get in the required number of practices, so come out and support your class. Check the A.A. board or see Vannie Gunter or Betty Layne for practice times.
Bicycles may now be checked out in the Lankford building. They are no longer under lock and key, but the student who checks the bike out will be held responsible should the bicycle be damaged in any way.
A quick run down of class points toward the Class Cup shows that the Juniors lead with 25 points for winning Bowling, Badminton, and Volleyball. The Sophomores are next with 15
points for winning Basketball and tie ing for first place with the Freshmen in Hockey, The Freshmen are in third place with a total of 10 points for tennis doubles and tieing with the Sophomores in Hockey, the Seniors are last with no points. (The 10 points awarded for class hockey was split with the Fr. and Soph, each getting 5 points). Class tennis singles, archery, golf, and softball will be the deciding factors for the awarding of the Class Cup, so the competition should be at its best!
Color Cup points have the Green & Whites in the lead with 30 points for taking Color Bowling, Volleyball, and Hockey. The Red & Whites have 10 points for Color Basketball. Again, the Color Cup could go either way, as golf, archery, and softball each carry 10 points. The Red & Whites must win two of the three sports to come up with a tie. Let's come out and really support our Colors as the race for Color Cup comes down to the wire!!
Finding little difficulty in adapting their techniques to the restricting rules of girls' basketball, Longwood's male professors defeated the L.C. varsity basketball team by a score of 42-31. The student-faculty competition drew a large crowd to the Old Gym on March 26 and through spectator con- tributions about sixty dollars was raised for the Heart Fund.
In a successful attempt to demon- strate their faculty and male superiori- ty, Mr. Randall Webb and Mr. Joseph Scolnick copped 19 and 10 points, respectively. Dr. Henry I. Willett, Jr., proved to be very popular with the spectators and he popped in 6 points. Also adding to the faculty scoring and skill were Mr. James Gussett, Mr. Robert Wu, Mr. Robert Stauffer, and Mr. George Bristol.
Though unsuccessful in outscoring their superiors, the varsity team came within 11 points of their opponents.

One way was if Mary Tolley and Becky Bondurant won the final match, and the other way was if Cathy Hass and Ginny Sire could beat Mary and Becky. The realization that the Juniors had 5 points either way took a little of the pressure off the players, but both sets of partners wanted good competition and good games and that's exactly what they got!
The match consisted of two out of three 15 point games. Cathy and Ginny took the first game in a close hard- fought battle, and Mary and Becky came back to win the second game with ex- psrtty placed shots. After the 5 minute

Longwood girls led the children in a song contest.
Pat Quinn, chairman of the show, said the circus skit was selected because of the availability of costumes. In the garden in the skit, there were girls as corn, carrots, potatoes, let- tuce, turnips, tomatoes, watermelons, snaps, beets, and radishes. There were also crows, a scarecrow, a piano, a worm, a rooster, and clowns. In the period that followed the show several of the children tried on the costumes and the girls in the skit allowed them to keep them.
Pat said that she thought the cast received as much enjoyment from the performance as the children did. In di- recting the skit she was aided by assistant chairman, Debbie Denver.
The Sophomore Road Show is an annual event put on by the sophomore class. The girls in the class decide what the skit is and where they present it. This is the first time that a show has been presented at the Presby- terian Home.

Wednesday, April 24, the Long- wood Forum will meet in the ABC rooms of Lankford at 7:30 p.m. Members of the Forum will be Dr. James Helms, Dr. Maurice Snell- er, Mr. Joseph Scolnick, and Mr. Filmer Hevener, Jr. They will discuss the political situation as it is today. Everyone is invited to come for it promises to be an interest- ing evening.
CONFLICT was created with the idea that though students at Virginia Tech and guests are receiving a good education, a purely academic view of life does not give the student sub- stantial insight into the social problems that exist in the world.
Lectures were given at 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. respectively on Wednes- day by William A. Rusher, publisher of the National Review, chief advocate of conservative views in America and a noted debator; and Dr. Carl Oglesby, professor of humanities at Antlcch College, a former president of the Students for Democratic Society, and classified as a "leftist." The topic of the discussions was "Evolution or Revolution in Our National Life" as seen by today's student.
After Mr. Rusher and Dr. Oglesby presented their speeches, they appear- ed on the same platform to answer questions from the audience. When asked who they believed would be the most likely candidate to win the elec- tion for presidency, Mr. Rusher said that the main contest for the GOP would be between Reagan and Richard Nixon. Reagan had "more fresh appeal" than Nixon and the future "will find Gov- ernor Reagan more active" in seeking the nomination.
Thursday Harry Golden, author and newspaper editor of the "Carolina Israelite", and Senator Strom Thur- mond of South Carolina examined the theme focusing on the role of the South in the nation's destiny. Harry Golden said that the New South is booming because "The money is roll- ing in." This is the reason for the end of segregation in cities like At- lanta, Charleston, Richmond. He at- tributed the civil rights drive to television which allowed the Negroes to see what the whites were doing. Harry Golden also supported President John- son's policies in Vietnam and the student protest movements, for "It's in the American tradition -dissent."
Senator Strom Thurmond, a hard core conservative and famous for his record 24 hour and 18 minute filibus- ter in 1954, demonstrated his strong adherence to constitutional principles as well as a strong support of military preparedness. He expressed disap- proval of Johnson's present domestic policies, and whereas Golden felt Sena- tor Robert Kennedy would win the '68 Democratic nomination, Thurmond felt Nixon had the best chances to win the GOP nomination.
