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
dis- tributed 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 so- ciety; 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 in- fluence
the nation's thinking and the national candidates.
Choice '68, as the program is call- ed, was inspired by students,
is fi- nanced by "Time" magazine, and will be conducted by students
on 1500 col- lege 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 fin- al arrangements for the
primary at Longwood. They urge each student to study the ballot, to
carefully consider her choice, and to vote in this pri- mary 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
What is woman? The que-tion was the topic on which Father Walter J.
Burghardt spoke la .t year at Long- wood. Tuesday, April 23, he is
re- turning by popular request to give an- i.tln-r speech
continuing along similar lines. He '*ill speak in Jarman Audi-
torium at 7:30 p.m. after returning from San Fi A native New
i, Father Burghardt was ordained at Woodstock College in 1941 where
he
v<l M.A. and Ph.D. degi Presently he is a professor of
patrology and patristic theology at Woodstock College. He has been
man- aging editor of "Theological Studi- "
n' .:.u. : on Page 3;
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 meet- ings.
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 sched- ule, 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 class- es should be
confined to Tuesday and Thursday evenings to allow open times for
Artist Series, plays, and other as- semblies. 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 sched- uled 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 elimi- nating 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 con- ference 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 neces- sity 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 stu- dents 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 class- room 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 cer- tain 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 min- utes 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 min- utes 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 re- sponsible 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.
Present at Hie fashion show were i the six best
garments. Accordin I i lieill New- Mary Bi , -chairmen
of the fashion show, tbi I i^r- ill be modeled on '

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 com- petition held in Richmond, Miss
Temple will represent the state at the national convention of Phi
Beta Lambda, na- tional organization for college busi- ness 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 an- nual.
Linda Hudson, a sophomore busi- ness 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 educa- tion 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 chap- ters 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 stu- dents. 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,
present- ed a fashion show with lunch at their store. About thirty
outfits were modell- ed. That afternoon a psychology pro- fessor,
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 prac- tices, 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

Badminton Finals Won
By Jrs., Gain 5 Points As Intramural and Class Badminton
came to a close, the Junior Class participants discovered there
would be 5 Class points added to the Jun- iors' total one way or
the other. 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
be- cause 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 as- sistant 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 dis- cuss 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 prob- lems 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 tele- vision which allowed the
Negroes to see what the whites were doing. Harry Golden also
supported President John- son's policies in Vietnam and the stu-
dent 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.
