Today, Wednesday, April 24 Long- wood College is participating in a nationwide collegiate presidential pri- mary. Each student is urged to care- fully consider her choice and to vote. At 7:30 tonight the Longwood Forum presents a panel discussion on the issues of today with Forum members Dr. Helms, Dr. Snellner, Mr. Scolnick, and Mr. Hevener in the ABC room of Lankford Building. Then at 11:00 voting will be conducted in every dorm. All students enrolled in this college are eligible to vote. Your participation is necessary in this effort to deter- mine the voting preferences of an entire group of the U.S. population. The UNIVAC Division of Sperry-Rand Corporation will process the ballots and the results will be published in the "Rotunda" and in "Time Maga- zine" the first week in May.
Unpredictable events have charac- terized this political year. The course of action in Vietnam has taken a new turn. These changes were unforeseen by the CHOICE '68 Board of Directors. Romney's withdrawal came early enough to remove his name from the ballot, but these more recent events were too late. The line on the ballot marked "OTHER" will accommodate these changes, but write-ins may only be used for the first choice.
Also there seems to be some in- consistency concerning the alterna- tives on the Vietnam referendum. "Temporary suspension of bombing" will be interpreted as a temporary suspension of all bombing. "Maintain current level of bombing" will be interpreted as maintaining the present level of limited bombing.
We can not turn away from the issues of today. This poll will give the college students a chance to voice their opinion. What are the feelings of the potential candidates concerning the referendums on the CHOICE '68 ballot?

CHI
TION SHOULD THE U.S. PURSUE IN VIETNAM?
Kennedy, Democrat: "We pursued a strictly military policy in Vietnam. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost in vain. I can only hope that we and our adversaries can now find it within ourselves to make the mutual concessions that can bring an end to this terrible war."
McCarthy, Democrat: "I believe that the only solution is to reverse the process of military and political escalation. We must Immediately halt all bombing in North Vietnam. We must halt the escalation of the ground war and begin a gradual disengage- ment in South Vietnam."
Nixon, Republican: "North Viet- nam is the aggressor and the South the invaded territory therefore the U.S. is obligated to maintain a sufficient level of military activity to convince the enemy that he cannot win and for him to continue pursuing a military victory is not worth the cost. If sup- port for the aggression in the South diminishes, then the bombing can dimmish."
Reagan, Republican: "We should close Haiphong's harbor thus cutting off 85T( of the supplies that make the war possible. We should pose a threat of invasion of North Vietnam to the point where they will have to pin down some of their forces on a defensive basis.
IN CONFRONTING THE "URBAN CRISIS" WHICH SHOULD RECEIVE HIGHEST PRIORITY IN GOVERN- MENT SPENDING?
Kennedy: "In my judgment, jobs and job training are the key to solving the urban crisis. In America you are what you do, and every man deserves a chance to hold down a job and sup- port his family with dignity and satis- faction."
McCarthy: "We must move on to establish a whole new set of civil rights. Basic among these must be the right to a decent job - a job which becomes the dignity of man, which returns him satisfaction as an intelligent and creative person, and which allows him at the same time to support his family decently and re- spectfully."
Nixon: "Earnings from a job would provide the urban poor with the digni- ty that no income subsidy will ever provide. It would also provide both social mobility and the opportunity for the poor to either improve their own housing, or move to new housing. The strongest chains holding the urban poor to the ghetto today are neither legal nor racial but economic."
Reagan: "I hate to start out by using the word 'crime,' I'd rather use the word 'morality.' This involves not only the misdeeds in high office, but crime in the streets. We've turned to a kind of permissive attitude - a softness on the part of our society, an unwillingness to fix blame and individ- ual responsibility. We must make it perfectly plain tliat there will be no toleration of law-breaking of any kind, that we will meet, with whatever force or power necessary, (hose who do take the law into their own hands."
CHOICE '68 enables the largely disfranchised college student to make an impact with his views on the sues and the candidates. President John,on has expressed his support of this project. "1 hope the public service TIMl ming will really be one - because if there is one thing disappointing to me about young people,
that they don't use all the op- nities available to them to make
their government a better govern- ment." As young people we are con- cerned with the future and it is aj that we are for we will spend more time there than the oidtl , opu-

Looking To November,
What's Your Choice '68? Choice 68 What does it mean to you' Today is our chance to
express our opinions on current issues and candidates in the first Notional Collegiate Presidential Primary. Specifically, this is how we may define Choice 68
But on a broader scale, we may look ahead to November. There our choice will directly affect the future of our nation. A large per- centage of us will be voting in this 1968 presidential election. It's an exciting thought, but it's also a challenge and a responsibility.
We can't go blindly into the voting booth this fall. We must choose the man that we honestly believe can best do the job. This means we must know all the facts Becoming thoroughly acquainted with the candidates and their platforms, and with the major issues, is a must. And it's not as difficult as it may seem.
The |ob of the mass media is to inform the public. Newsmen follow all the candidates, and all we have to do is sit back and read a newspaper or watch a TV broadcast to hear what each of them has to say There is no excuse for ignorance of the issues
As college students votinq for the first time, we should feel this responsibility to be informed keenly We should realize the import- ance of each vote, and of the final outcome.
Your vote does matter, and it shouldn't be taken lightly. Make it a point to find out all you can about the candidates. Read and listen-to facts and opinions-and then make up your own mind. It is your responsibility as a citizen to make what you believe to be the best possible choice. This is your Choice 68. — M. A. M.
Amy Vanderbilt Referees,
Pass The Peas, Hike! By LIBBA BALL
"Pass the peas. . .pass the pota- toes. . .pass the corn. . .hike!"
Sounds like the calls in a football game, but in actuality, the scene is typical of the every-day manners in our dining hall. Have you taken the time to notice your own behavior or the behavior of those at your table during a meal? It can prove quite shocking when you think of college girls plowing in the bread basket for the freshest slice or grabbing that piece of chicken before the blessing.
Truly these are some of the more radical examples, but have you ever been guilty of taking that last tomato before the others have been served? B.L.T.'s are supposed to have "toma- toes" too, but if there aren't any more, somebody's left with a bacon and lettuce sandwich - m-m-m tasty!
Think of the girl who sits at your table when hers is closed. Do you treat her coldly? Have you "shoved" a dish at someone regardless of her full hands, and impatiently dropped the dish in her plate? Did you take time to introduce her to the others at the table, or were you so concerned in making sure you sent back for the third helping of French fries that you didn't notice her?
Did you take half the tartar sauce before anyone else had any, or are you the type who pours out most of the cream with your coffee? Remember the bread pudding? I bet you did since you used all the sauce; and the piece of strawberry cake with the most strawberries — you're eating it! So tliat's why you decided this was your night to serve dessert! Amy Vander- bilt, if only you were here. . .
Anyone who openly complains to these offenders is considered a true rat fink - so meet "R.F. #1" while 1 attempt to make us see ourselves as others see us. Would you eat like this at home? Certainly not! By the time we're eight or nine years old our parents have trained us to eat
civilly - you know, pass all the food quietly in one direction, take your share and only a second serving if everyone else has had a first, and never to eat during the blessing. Why can't we practice these same rules at school? Are we representative of our homes and families while at school? You don't want others to think your family eats this way, do you? When you go out to eat, suppose you find yourself behaving as you do here. Wouldn't you be embarrassed?
It is an unwritten "law" that those at a table take turns pouring the tea, stacking, and serving the dessert, but all too often, the same girls do the same chores. This really is unfair. Try to be a little more considerate of these girls and do your part in helping make the meal as pleasant as possible.
Let's make an effort to tolerate these things called "good manners." Don't sneak food before the blessing, don't pass the food like a footbaU, don't take your share and everyone else's, and greet your guests cord- ially, and you will find meal time to be a pleasure.
"Please pass the peas. ..thank you."
Dr. Henry Willett, President of Longwood, Mr. E. Angus Powell, rector of the Board of Visitors, and Mr. L. Marshall Hall, com- mencement chairman of the facul- ty committee will meet with all Seniors in Jarman Auditorium, Tuesday, April 30 at 5:00 p.m. to discuss the commencement ex- ercises.
All questions and details con- cerning commencement will be fin- alized at this time. Also, Mr. Pow- ell has several important matters to discuss with the graduating class.
It is important that all Seniors attend this meeting.

Education Teachers Travel To Boston To IRA Convention
Miss Beatrice Bland and Miss Kate Trent, of the Education Department, will attend the thirteenth annual Inter- national Reading Association Conven- tion in Boston, Massachusetts, April 24-27.
The theme of the convention, "Read- ing in the Total School Curriculum," will be interwoven in various symposia, seminars, and general sessions. Some of the topics to be discussed are the role of preschool instruction, reading for the gifted, and the role of linguis- tics.
The major speakers for the con- vention are national authorities in as- pects of reading. These speakers in- clude Nila Banton Smith, author of several textbooks, Donald D. Durrell, famed for his outstanding testing of reading ability, and Nancy Larrick, an international authority on children's literature.
The purposes of the convention are to give educators the opportunity to hear national authorities, to dis- cuss the newest trends in reading, and to examine new reading materials.
James McCombs, Associate Profes- sor of Music at Longwood College, was elected president of the Virginia Chap- ter, National Association of Teachers of Singing, at the spring meeting of the chapter which was held at Madison College on March 23, 1968.

HONORS COUNCIL The Honors Council has completed
the first phase of a project to collect material on graduate financial aid. In- formation from approximately one hun- dred colleges and universities in the United States has been filed in the Honors Council Room in Lankford Building. This file is available to all Longwood students. If you are interest- ed in graduate work, you will probably also be interested in the kinds of graduate aid that are available. This file is being made especially for the benefit of these interested students.
Letters To Editor
Mr. James Hopkins will speak on some aspects of journalism at 4:00 p.m., Thursday, April 25, 1968, in the ABC room of Lank- ford. Mr. Hopkins is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University and is presently studying at Duke Uni- versity. His talk is sponsored by Pi Delta Epsilon, and the public ll u.vited to attend.
Dear Editor, Recently theadministrationdecided
it would be a nice idea to participate in the nationwide presidential primary CHOICE '68. Apparently the Student Government agreed and was asked to handle the arrangements.
Attempts by the political organiza- tions to carry out campaigns for their party's candidates has been almost nil. I hope that a large voter turn out tonight will prove that the apathy ap- parently existing in our campus lead- ers is not a correct indication of the feelings of this campus. We are the ones with the most at stake for we will live the longest and be the most affected by this government. Let's get out and show that we really do care.
Sincerely, Carolyn Cummins

Teams Break Rope, Tie For Field Day; Sophs' Song Wins
"A great success" and "barrels of fun" are the two phrases which best describe the A. A. Field Day held last Thursday on the Mall. Competition be- tween the Reds and the Greens was again at its best; the Green and Whites took first place in the three-legged race, the Crab relay, and the powderpuff football game, while the Red and Whites captured first places in the Potato sack race, the Peanut race, and the Lifesaver relay. Determined that the competition should not end in a tie, the A. A. provided a rope for a Tug of War. Needless to say, the rope broke under the tension of all the Reds and Greens.
Cokes and hot dogs were sold by the A. A. and the Colleagues sold cot- ton candy. Dillard Vaughan, co-ordi- nator of the activities, and Suzanne Turner, mistress of ceremonies, should be congratulated for a job well done - just ask anyone who partici- pated!
The climax of the Field Day was the song contest, held that night in Jarman. Congratulations to the Sopho- mores on their winning song, and to the Seniors who were the runners-up. With the additional gain of 5 points for their song, theSophomores now have 20 points toward Class Cup.
Longwood Varsity Tennis Team takes a break during one of their many practices.

Defeat Old Dominion By 5-0
I've noticed that since the bicycles have been moved to the Lankford Build- ing, they've been getting a real work out. Thanks to the A.A. for seeing the need to have them made more avail- able to the student body.
Congratulations to the Tennis and Golf teams on their victories last week. The tennis team has a match scheduled this Friday with Madison College. The Varsity Archery team will be shooting against Madison at the same time as the tennis match. This will be the first Archery match of the season. Also, on Saturday the Tennis team will host Bridgewater College in an afternoon match. Bridgewater will be bringing its Lacrosse team, too, so there should be plenty of action in the area of Barlow courts and field on Friday and Saturday. Come out and support our varsity teams. I'm sure that Mrs. Harriss and Miss B need people to serve as scorers and linesmen. If you'd like to help out, be sure to con- tact either one of them. It's a great way to get a 'front row seat'.

Winning its first match of the sea- son, the Varsity Tennis Team went all the way out Saturday to defeat Old Dominion College, 5-0.
Marsha Franklin, playing number one singles position, enthusiastically outwitted her opponent, Sheryl Chubb, and won 6-4, 6-4. Seeing more action than the other players, Anna Pettis, no. 2 singles, remained determined to win and came out victorious over Rob- in Whitten with the score of 6-3, 9-7.

Longwood's two doubles teams also came out on the bright side. Suzanne Turner and Debbie Haller placed ahead of D. Ellen and E. Yamada by winning the match 6-0, 7-5. Jane McCaffrey and Betty Lane defeated Old Do- minion's number 2 doubles team with ease and confidence. The score of their match was 6-3, 6-3.

Softball practices are coming along fine, but there are a couple of classes that need more players in order to have a team. Check with VannieGunter and Betty Layne for practice and game schedules. Remember, it could make a difference in the Class Cup com- petition!
Congratulations to the Sophomores and Seniors for taking first and sec- ond place, respectively, in the song contest. Be sure to check the A.A. showcase in the Lankford Building to see the Blue and White Bunny deco- rated in Red and Green.
Did I hear someone say they hoped it would rain - it couldn't be any of the Varsity Tennis players; they only had 4 matches scheduled for this week!

A Medical Answer For
So Stiff Muscles Loosen Up and You're Back Into Action
DOCTORS who specialize in back troubles report most aching backs are due to weak, tense muscles
which can go into painful spasm as you suddenly bend, stretch or twist. To relieve such backache doc- tors recommend the pain-relief compound in Anacin^ Analgesic Tablets. And Anacin gives you more of this medication than any other leading tablet.
Anacin is a special fortified formula. It promptly relieves pain, helps reduce swollen tissues, and so re- leases pressure on sensitive back nerves. Then notice how stiff muscles loosen up and you move around with greater ease.
Only Anacin has this special fortified formula. It's not found in any other prod- uct. See if Anacin's exclusive formula doesn't work better for you.

Giest Conference Planned For April 24; Everyone Invited
The Geist Leadership Conference will be held on Wednesday, April 24. The first part of the conference will take place at 5:00. At this time Dr. Willett will talk on the values of participating in extracurricular ac- tivities. Everyone is invited to this conference, and it is especially hoped that anyone who finds no value in clubs and otter activities will come to this. A question and answer period will fallow Dr. Willett's speech. At 7:00, until 8:00, there will be eleven small discussion groups according to the types of clubs. These will be led by a member of Geist and will be grouped according to: language, publi- cations, honoraries, Greek organiza- tions, fine arts, classes, athletics, departmental, religious, political, and student government organizations. There will be a secretary in each
roup who will take notes and have them mimeographed so that each per- so attending will have a copy for future reference. The purpose of these small discussion groups is to have the or- ganizations discuss their common problems and try to find solutions to them. Everyone is invited to this con- ference, and each organization is asked to send two representatives.

The Longwood Lacrosse teams traveled to Richmond last Wednes- day to participate in the first inter- collegiate lacrosse game on the L.C. Varsity level. The first stop was at St. Catherine's where the L.C. II team played a 15 minute game which ended with a 0-0 score. Although the game was a short one, the players began to work as a team and really got the feel of the competition and skill involved.
Hurriedly the team boarded the bus for a short ride to Westhampton Col- lege. L.C. made a good showing in their first real game, but Westhamp- ton emerged as the victors. Westhamp- ton scored the first two goals, and then Longwood bounced back to take a three to two lead. Westhampton scored another one as the lead changed hands again. Near the end of the 25 minute first half, center, Jane Erdman, crashed through three defensive pUy- ers to score L.C.'s fifth goal. On the play Jane was accidentally injured and

was unable to play the remainder of the game. Longwood pulled through with lots of teamwork which enabled Bar- bara Snellings and Marcia Tench to do most of L.C.'s scoring. Linda South- worth was s.Mit in to take Jane's place as center in the second half. The inter- ception of passes proved to be the down- laJl of Longwood in the rest of the game. The ball often oi bottled up and the defense could not get it past mid- field, so L.C. was limited to only one goal while Westhampton took full ad- vantage and came out the winners by a 16 to 6 score.

Today, Wednesday, April 24 Long- wood College is participating in a nationwide collegiate presidential pri- mary. Each student is urged to care- fully consider her choice and to vote. At 7:30 tonight the Longwood Forum presents a panel discussion on the issues of today with Forum members Dr. Helms, Dr. Snellner, Mr. Scolnick, and Mr. Hevener in the ABC room of Lankford Building. Then at 11:00 voting will be conducted in every dorm. All students enrolled in this college are eligible to vote. Your participation is necessary in this effort to deter- mine the voting preferences of an entire group of the U.S. population. The UNIVAC Division of Sperry-Rand Corporation will process the ballots and the results will be published in the "Rotunda" and in "Time Maga- zine" the first week in May.
Unpredictable events have charac- terized this political year. The course of action in Vietnam has taken a new turn. These changes were unforeseen by the CHOICE '68 Board of Directors. Romney's withdrawal came early enough to remove his name from the ballot, but these more recent events were too late. The line on the ballot marked "OTHER" will accommodate these changes, but write-ins may only be used for the first choice.
Also there seems to be some in- consistency concerning the alterna- tives on the Vietnam referendum. "Temporary suspension of bombing" will be interpreted as a temporary suspension of all bombing. "Maintain current level of bombing" will be interpreted as maintaining the present level of limited bombing.
We can not turn away from the issues of today. This poll will give the college students a chance to voice their opinion. What are the feelings of the potential candidates concerning the referendums on the CHOICE '68 ballot?

TION SHOULD THE U.S. PURSUE IN VIETNAM?
Kennedy, Democrat: "We pursued a strictly military policy in Vietnam. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost in vain. I can only hope that we and our adversaries can now find it within ourselves to make the mutual concessions that can bring an end to this terrible war."
McCarthy, Democrat: "I believe that the only solution is to reverse the process of military and political escalation. We must Immediately halt all bombing in North Vietnam. We must halt the escalation of the ground war and begin a gradual disengage- ment in South Vietnam."
Nixon, Republican: "North Viet- nam is the aggressor and the South the invaded territory therefore the U.S. is obligated to maintain a sufficient level of military activity to convince the enemy that he cannot win and for him to continue pursuing a military victory is not worth the cost. If sup- port for the aggression in the South diminishes, then the bombing can dimmish."
Reagan, Republican: "We should close Haiphong's harbor thus cutting off 85T( of the supplies that make the war possible. We should pose a threat of invasion of North Vietnam to the point where they will have to pin down some of their forces on a defensive basis.
IN CONFRONTING THE "URBAN CRISIS" WHICH SHOULD RECEIVE HIGHEST PRIORITY IN GOVERN- MENT SPENDING?
Kennedy: "In my judgment, jobs and job training are the key to solving the urban crisis. In America you are what you do, and every man deserves a chance to hold down a job and sup- port his family with dignity and satis- faction."
McCarthy: "We must move on to establish a whole new set of civil rights. Basic among these must be the right to a decent job - a job which becomes the dignity of man, which returns him satisfaction as an intelligent and creative person, and which allows him at the same time to support his family decently and re- spectfully."
Nixon: "Earnings from a job would provide the urban poor with the digni- ty that no income subsidy will ever provide. It would also provide both social mobility and the opportunity for the poor to either improve their own housing, or move to new housing. The strongest chains holding the urban poor to the ghetto today are neither legal nor racial but economic."
Reagan: "I hate to start out by using the word 'crime,' I'd rather use the word 'morality.' This involves not only the misdeeds in high office, but crime in the streets. We've turned to a kind of permissive attitude - a softness on the part of our society, an unwillingness to fix blame and individ- ual responsibility. We must make it perfectly plain tliat there will be no toleration of law-breaking of any kind, that we will meet, with whatever force or power necessary, (hose who do take the law into their own hands."
CHOICE '68 enables the largely disfranchised college student to make an impact with his views on the sues and the candidates. President John,on has expressed his support of this project. "1 hope the public service TIMl ming will really be one - because if there is one thing disappointing to me about young people,
that they don't use all the op- nities available to them to make
their government a better govern- ment." As young people we are con- cerned with the future and it is aj that we are for we will spend more time there than the oidtl , opu-

Looking To November,
What's Your Choice '68? Choice 68 What does it mean to you' Today is our chance to
express our opinions on current issues and candidates in the first Notional Collegiate Presidential Primary. Specifically, this is how we may define Choice 68
But on a broader scale, we may look ahead to November. There our choice will directly affect the future of our nation. A large per- centage of us will be voting in this 1968 presidential election. It's an exciting thought, but it's also a challenge and a responsibility.
We can't go blindly into the voting booth this fall. We must choose the man that we honestly believe can best do the job. This means we must know all the facts Becoming thoroughly acquainted with the candidates and their platforms, and with the major issues, is a must. And it's not as difficult as it may seem.
The |ob of the mass media is to inform the public. Newsmen follow all the candidates, and all we have to do is sit back and read a newspaper or watch a TV broadcast to hear what each of them has to say There is no excuse for ignorance of the issues
As college students votinq for the first time, we should feel this responsibility to be informed keenly We should realize the import- ance of each vote, and of the final outcome.
Your vote does matter, and it shouldn't be taken lightly. Make it a point to find out all you can about the candidates. Read and listen-to facts and opinions-and then make up your own mind. It is your responsibility as a citizen to make what you believe to be the best possible choice. This is your Choice 68. — M. A. M.
Amy Vanderbilt Referees,
Pass The Peas, Hike! By LIBBA BALL
"Pass the peas. . .pass the pota- toes. . .pass the corn. . .hike!"
Sounds like the calls in a football game, but in actuality, the scene is typical of the every-day manners in our dining hall. Have you taken the time to notice your own behavior or the behavior of those at your table during a meal? It can prove quite shocking when you think of college girls plowing in the bread basket for the freshest slice or grabbing that piece of chicken before the blessing.
Truly these are some of the more radical examples, but have you ever been guilty of taking that last tomato before the others have been served? B.L.T.'s are supposed to have "toma- toes" too, but if there aren't any more, somebody's left with a bacon and lettuce sandwich - m-m-m tasty!
Think of the girl who sits at your table when hers is closed. Do you treat her coldly? Have you "shoved" a dish at someone regardless of her full hands, and impatiently dropped the dish in her plate? Did you take time to introduce her to the others at the table, or were you so concerned in making sure you sent back for the third helping of French fries that you didn't notice her?
Did you take half the tartar sauce before anyone else had any, or are you the type who pours out most of the cream with your coffee? Remember the bread pudding? I bet you did since you used all the sauce; and the piece of strawberry cake with the most strawberries — you're eating it! So tliat's why you decided this was your night to serve dessert! Amy Vander- bilt, if only you were here. . .
Anyone who openly complains to these offenders is considered a true rat fink - so meet "R.F. #1" while 1 attempt to make us see ourselves as others see us. Would you eat like this at home? Certainly not! By the time we're eight or nine years old our parents have trained us to eat
civilly - you know, pass all the food quietly in one direction, take your share and only a second serving if everyone else has had a first, and never to eat during the blessing. Why can't we practice these same rules at school? Are we representative of our homes and families while at school? You don't want others to think your family eats this way, do you? When you go out to eat, suppose you find yourself behaving as you do here. Wouldn't you be embarrassed?
It is an unwritten "law" that those at a table take turns pouring the tea, stacking, and serving the dessert, but all too often, the same girls do the same chores. This really is unfair. Try to be a little more considerate of these girls and do your part in helping make the meal as pleasant as possible.
Let's make an effort to tolerate these things called "good manners." Don't sneak food before the blessing, don't pass the food like a footbaU, don't take your share and everyone else's, and greet your guests cord- ially, and you will find meal time to be a pleasure.
"Please pass the peas. ..thank you."
Dr. Henry Willett, President of Longwood, Mr. E. Angus Powell, rector of the Board of Visitors, and Mr. L. Marshall Hall, com- mencement chairman of the facul- ty committee will meet with all Seniors in Jarman Auditorium, Tuesday, April 30 at 5:00 p.m. to discuss the commencement ex- ercises.
All questions and details con- cerning commencement will be fin- alized at this time. Also, Mr. Pow- ell has several important matters to discuss with the graduating class.
It is important that all Seniors attend this meeting.

Education Teachers Travel To Boston To IRA Convention
Miss Beatrice Bland and Miss Kate Trent, of the Education Department, will attend the thirteenth annual Inter- national Reading Association Conven- tion in Boston, Massachusetts, April 24-27.
The theme of the convention, "Read- ing in the Total School Curriculum," will be interwoven in various symposia, seminars, and general sessions. Some of the topics to be discussed are the role of preschool instruction, reading for the gifted, and the role of linguis- tics.
The major speakers for the con- vention are national authorities in as- pects of reading. These speakers in- clude Nila Banton Smith, author of several textbooks, Donald D. Durrell, famed for his outstanding testing of reading ability, and Nancy Larrick, an international authority on children's literature.
The purposes of the convention are to give educators the opportunity to hear national authorities, to dis- cuss the newest trends in reading, and to examine new reading materials.
James McCombs, Associate Profes- sor of Music at Longwood College, was elected president of the Virginia Chap- ter, National Association of Teachers of Singing, at the spring meeting of the chapter which was held at Madison College on March 23, 1968.
Other officers of the chapter, which includes all of the state of Virginia, are Edythe Schneider, vice-president, Madison College, and Dr. George F.

Dear Editor, Recently theadministrationdecided
it would be a nice idea to participate in the nationwide presidential primary CHOICE '68. Apparently the Student Government agreed and was asked to handle the arrangements.
Attempts by the political organiza- tions to carry out campaigns for their party's candidates has been almost nil. I hope that a large voter turn out tonight will prove that the apathy ap- parently existing in our campus lead- ers is not a correct indication of the feelings of this campus. We are the ones with the most at stake for we will live the longest and be the most affected by this government. Let's get out and show that we really do care.
Sincerely, Carolyn Cummins

Teams Break Rope, Tie For Field Day; Sophs' Song Wins
"A great success" and "barrels of fun" are the two phrases which best describe the A. A. Field Day held last Thursday on the Mall. Competition be- tween the Reds and the Greens was again at its best; the Green and Whites took first place in the three-legged race, the Crab relay, and the powderpuff football game, while the Red and Whites captured first places in the Potato sack race, the Peanut race, and the Lifesaver relay. Determined that the competition should not end in a tie, the A. A. provided a rope for a Tug of War. Needless to say, the rope broke under the tension of all the Reds and Greens.
Cokes and hot dogs were sold by the A. A. and the Colleagues sold cot- ton candy. Dillard Vaughan, co-ordi- nator of the activities, and Suzanne Turner, mistress of ceremonies, should be congratulated for a job well done - just ask anyone who partici- pated!
The climax of the Field Day was the song contest, held that night in Jarman. Congratulations to the Sopho- mores on their winning song, and to the Seniors who were the runners-up. With the additional gain of 5 points for their song, theSophomores now have 20 points toward Class Cup.

LC Netters Score First Win
Defeat Old Dominion By 5-0
I've noticed that since the bicycles have been moved to the Lankford Build- ing, they've been getting a real work out. Thanks to the A.A. for seeing the need to have them made more avail- able to the student body.
Congratulations to the Tennis and Golf teams on their victories last week. The tennis team has a match scheduled this Friday with Madison College. The Varsity Archery team will be shooting against Madison at the same time as the tennis match. This will be the first Archery match of the season. Also, on Saturday the Tennis team will host Bridgewater College in an afternoon match. Bridgewater will be bringing its Lacrosse team, too, so there should be plenty of action in the area of Barlow courts and field on Friday and Saturday. Come out and support our varsity teams. I'm sure that Mrs. Harriss and Miss B need people to serve as scorers and linesmen. If you'd like to help out, be sure to con- tact either one of them. It's a great way to get a 'front row seat'.

Winning its first match of the sea- son, the Varsity Tennis Team went all the way out Saturday to defeat Old Dominion College, 5-0.
Marsha Franklin, playing number one singles position, enthusiastically outwitted her opponent, Sheryl Chubb, and won 6-4, 6-4. Seeing more action than the other players, Anna Pettis, no. 2 singles, remained determined to win and came out victorious over Rob- in Whitten with the score of 6-3, 9-7. Lynn Coleman found no difficulty in

Longwood's two doubles teams also came out on the bright side. Suzanne Turner and Debbie Haller placed ahead of D. Ellen and E. Yamada by winning the match 6-0, 7-5. Jane McCaffrey and Betty Lane defeated Old Do- minion's number 2 doubles team with ease and confidence. The score of their match was 6-3, 6-3.
All the students and faculty who attended the match were elated to see Longwood triumph over Old Dominion since Longwood was defeated last Wednesday by Mary Washington. Anna Pettis and Jean Hendricksplayingnum- ber one doubles were the only winning Longwood players.

Did I hear someone say they hoped it would rain - it couldn't be any of the Varsity Tennis players; they only had 4 matches scheduled for this week!

A Medical Answer For
So Stiff Muscles Loosen Up and You're Back Into Action
DOCTORS who specialize in back troubles report most aching backs are due to weak, tense muscles
which can go into painful spasm as you suddenly bend, stretch or twist. To relieve such backache doc- tors recommend the pain-relief compound in Anacin^ Analgesic Tablets. And Anacin gives you more of this medication than any other leading tablet.
Anacin is a special fortified formula. It promptly relieves pain, helps reduce swollen tissues, and so re- leases pressure on sensitive back nerves. Then notice how stiff muscles loosen up and you move around with greater ease.
Only Anacin has this special fortified formula. It's not found in any other prod- uct. See if Anacin's exclusive formula doesn't work better for you.

There will be a secretary in each
roup who will take notes and have them mimeographed so that each per- so attending will have a copy for future reference. The purpose of these small discussion groups is to have the or- ganizations discuss their common problems and try to find solutions to them. Everyone is invited to this con- ference, and each organization is asked to send two representatives.

The Longwood Lacrosse teams traveled to Richmond last Wednes- day to participate in the first inter- collegiate lacrosse game on the L.C. Varsity level. The first stop was at St. Catherine's where the L.C. II team played a 15 minute game which ended with a 0-0 score. Although the game was a short one, the players began to work as a team and really got the feel of the competition and skill involved.
Hurriedly the team boarded the bus for a short ride to Westhampton Col- lege. L.C. made a good showing in their first real game, but Westhamp- ton emerged as the victors. Westhamp- ton scored the first two goals, and then Longwood bounced back to take a three to two lead. Westhampton scored another one as the lead changed hands again. Near the end of the 25 minute first half, center, Jane Erdman, crashed through three defensive pUy- ers to score L.C.'s fifth goal. On the play Jane was accidentally injured and

was unable to play the remainder of the game. Longwood pulled through with lots of teamwork which enabled Bar- bara Snellings and Marcia Tench to do most of L.C.'s scoring. Linda South- worth was s.Mit in to take Jane's place as center in the second half. The inter- ception of passes proved to be the down- laJl of Longwood in the rest of the game. The ball often oi bottled up and the defense could not get it past mid- field, so L.C. was limited to only one goal while Westhampton took full ad- vantage and came out the winners by a 16 to 6 score.
