Life Style Residence Halls To
Offer New Visitation Hours-
Renovations To Start Soon By ILONA WILSON
With the arrival of Dr. Janet Greenwood, longwood College has seen many changes. Such changes will become more observable in the future especially in the residence halls. Among these changes are resi- dence life options and building repairs.
Mr. Tom Nanzig remarked over visitation changes spying "These changes took so long because the administration was much more conservative (in the past) in their attitudes. Dr. Greenwood has a much different attitude. She has been instrumental in encouraging life style residence halls."
Housing Preference Surveys done in February of this year showed high interest in coeducational options, Greek options, no smoking options, freshman only areas and extended visitation. Of the 1875 surveys that were distributed, 895 were returned. Following are residence options for 1982- 83 Coeducational Options:
South Cunningham 2nd floor will be for men; Main Cun- ningham 3rd fl. annex will be for women; Frazer and North Cunningham will also be coed. Greek Options:
Expanded Housing will be in Cox and Frazer for two fraternities; Stubbs will continue as a sorority area; one sorority area on Curry 2nd will be added.
Freshman: French, Tabb, North Cun-
ningham and Curry 7 and 8 will be reserved for freshmen.
Extended visitation: Sun.- Thurs. noon to midnight and Fri.-Sat. noon to 1:30 a.m. will be in Frazer, Main and South Cunningham, Curry, Stubbs, Cox 1, 2, 3, and Wheeler ground floor and floors 1 and 2.
Moderate Visitation: Mon.- Thurs. 3 p.m.-ll p.m. Fri.-Sat.— noon-l:30 a.m. Sun. — noon-11 p.m. will be in North Cunningham, Tabb, French, South Ruffner, Wheeler 3rd floor and Cox ground floor. Single sex options will continue in Tabb, French, South Ruffner, Stubbs, Wheeler and Curry for women and Cox for men.
Co-op maintenance will have Cox Hall as a student custodian program area for men and Wheeler for women. High Quiet zones will be in the areas of Tabb Hall 3rd fl. for women and North Cunningham 3rd fl. for men. Commented Dr. Salters: "We started working on life style

By CINDY CORELL "There's an easier way to
make a living," warned Ronald E. Carrier, at the Inaugural Ceremonies of Long wood's new President Saturday afternoon. President Janet D. Greenwood obviously wasn't listening, however, as she was installed as Longwood's 20th president and the first woman president of public four-year college or university in Virginia.
The ceremony oegan with a procession of seniors, faculty, delegates of more than 100 learned societies, colleges and universities, and the President's party. Darrell Harbaum directed the Longwood College Concert Band performing the processional which included Longwood's former Alma Mater. The Army ROTC presented the colors of state and national flags and Rebecca Nunez, senior music major led the audience in singing the National Anthem. The Rt. Rev. C. Charles Vache, Bishop of The Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia presented the Invocation.
Thomas D. Rust, rector of the Board of Visitors, welcomed the alumni, faculty, staff, administration, students and visitors to the ceremony. Susan May, president of the Organization of Teaching
Faculty, and Cherie Stevens, president of the Student Government Association both extended a warm welcome to President Greenwood. The Camerata Singers performed a revised version of Virginia's state song, "Carry Me Back to Old Virginia," under the direction of Louard Egbert.
Opening remarks were then made by members of the President's party. These included The Honorable Dan Daniel, United States Congressman, Duvahl Ridgeway- Hull, alumna and Roanoke Physician, Gene Dixon, Jr. president of Kyanite Mining Corporation, J. Bryan Brooks, president of Southside Va. Community College, Josiah Bunting III, president of Hampden-Sydney College, and Ronald E. Carrier, president of James Madison University.
Mr. Rust then proceeded with the ceremony and installed Dr. Greenwood president of Longwood College. As she finished speaking her vow, the Cameratas broke softly into song with "Morning Has Broken."
As President Greenwood began her inaugural address, a slight sprinkle began and grew stronger, blooming umbrellas throughout the crowd. As she continued though, the sun
returned, summarizing the brief shower as a mere respite of the sun's heat. In her speech, Dr. Greenwood outlined educational goals for longwood students and emphasized "we must project the reality of the world as it will exist in the year 2,000 and must seek to prepare students for living in that world...or at least to retain one's sanity in a world that is bound to become more complex and more frustrating." She said that Longwood must be "especially concerned with preparing students not only for earning a living but also for learning how to live...and for learning how to live a complete life, a fulfilling life in the 21st century,...if students are banking on money and jobs for their ultimate satisfaction in life, they may be in serious trouble when the jobs aren't there or job dissatisfaction occurs..."
Dr. Greenwood urged Longwood faculty to restructure course offerings, including "a more effective merger of career education and liberal arts education," in order to provide all students with saleable work skills as well as skills in communication, economics, technology, rearing a family, and in engaging in social and political activities.
In addition to the long- (Continued on Page 2)
College To Be Hurt By- Campus School Closing ByJOEJOHNSON
"Only if a sudden miracle from Heaven occurs" said Dr. Greenwood in reply to a question covering the J.P. Wynne Campus School's ability to stay open for next year. The question was answered at a meeting between the college administrators and parents of campus school students earlier this March. The outlook for the Campus School still remains bleak.
The decision to cut funding for the campus school was made in June of 1980 by the State Council of Higher Education. The Campus School is a laboratory facility housing students from kindergarten through 7th grade, and is dependent on state funds for financing.
The result is no Campus School for next year. The repercussion
of which will touch everybody from the students who attend (approximately 200) to Longwood's students who use the school as an observation facility, to the teachers who work there.
Where the students who now attend the campus school will go next year is undecided. But since approximately 130 of them live in Prince Edward County, the local county schools will carry the brunt of the influx of children into the public school systems.
Dr. Crayton Buck, director of the Campus School who attended the State Council of Higher Educations meeting which decided the fate of the J.P. Wynne School said, "The decision was based solely on economics. There will be no funding for next year, because the council had to find a way to cut cost."
But Dr. Buck feels that "in the long run it's not going to save money...they are going to have to replace what they lose here in some way. We do about 11,000- 12,000 contact hours per year...if you're going to maintain that in your program, you're going to have to pay for it some way."
The contact hours consist of everything from pre-student teaching and basic tutoring to observation hours for a wide variety of Longwood's departments including psychology, social work and elementary education.
Lynn Hoeton, a social work intern, who has over 180 work hours at the school said, "This place is a human laboratory. The smallness of the school and the closed circuit television make

recognized values of liberal-arts education, she said that students need to have a 'world consciousness so that they recognize that the needs of one person and one nation are related to the needs of other persons and nations...the desire and the
capacity to use leisure time well...an appreciation of the importance of human values...and a sense of direction, if not a meaningful philosophy of life, so that our students know where they are going and why."
Dr. Greenwood said that the College would be developing "a
closer and more productive partnership" with the private sector through increased internships, co-op programs, and other opportunities for businessmen and students to interact. She emphasized that Longwood has been working closely with community leaders to assess the needs of the region and "to develop, cooperatively, Longwood's participation in helping to meet those needs.'"
"We stand ready," she said, "to offer special workshops, seminars and programs to business and industrial personnel, educators, professional people, and other segments of the community...and tee are proceeding to raise private funds to build a Fine Arts Center as the center for the arts in Southside Virginia."
Following the address, the audience sang the Alma Mater, led by the band and the Camerata Singers. After the Benediction and Recessional, the crowd attended the reception in Lankford Building where they admired and tasted Dr. Maria Silveira's huge inauguration cake on display there, and were entertained by the Music Department's brand new Show Choir, directed by Dr. Louard Egbert.

options last spring. We in student affairs implemented ideas received from surveys and this has resulted in options for fall of 1982."
On April 2nd Roy Hill, Tom Nanzig and Dr. Greenwood toured the residence halls. Security, general hallway conditions, and improvements that had been made were noted.
To help with security approximately 700 locks (dead locks) will be put in all the Cunningham. Tabb, Curry and Frazer. So, for example in Curry and Frazer, there will be a key to enter the suite and then locks and keys to each of the two rooms in the suite.
"I have been trying to remedy the situation (of needed locks) since July of 1979. Credit goes to Dr. Greenwood for supporting
Art Instructor
Receives Award
Andy Edmonson, an in- structor in the Longwood College Art Department, has been awarded a $200 cash prize in the Virginia Watercolor Society's Third Annual Juried Exhibition in Arlington.
The award, given by Mead Corporation of Washington, D.C., was given to one of Edmonson's hard-edge geometric abstracts, one of two of his paintings included in the exhibition. The exhibition is on display at the Metro Campus of George Mason University until April 23.
Edmonson was recently the recipient of a $500 purchase
requests for money," said Tom Nanzig.
Much work is proposed on Cunningham areas. Director of Physical Plant, Mr. Roy Hill, described the plans for North Cunningham, the annex and Main Cunningham. Such changes include: new bath fixtures, new floor coverings, a sprinkler system, new light fixtures, painting and finishing of both areas. The basement of North will be turned into a nice kitchen area and lounge. The annex basement storage rooms will become lounges and a kitchen with a small storage space. Roof work will be done on North, Annex and Main; the roof of South was done in '76. There will be heat controls on all radiators (like French has) in the Cunninghams and fire petitions will be added at different points. Work on the Cunningham will begin in January if it is finalized
through the board. Painting in Tabb and Curry will
be done this summer as much as possible and is fundable.
There is also a proposal for handicapped bedrooms in the South Cunningham basement.
"If plans go through (fee tuition as scheduled and proposed presently) and are approved by the board there will be significant increase in the amount of funds available for repairs and other improvements in the residence halls," said Dr. Salters.
"If students would quit vandalizing rooms, we would do work that needed maintenance. Students will be billed more strictly in the future for damages as many things (such as doors) will be completely repaired this summer," remarked Roy Hill.
"We hope in the future," said Nanzig, "that students will find ways to improve residence hall life here at Longwood."

By JOEJOHNSON Probably the most difficult
thing about producing Sophocle's Oedipus Rex is retaining a modern audience's attention. The play has very little onstage action and it would not be an understatement to say that Sophocles fell in love with his own dialogue. (Although after reading the play one surely can't blame him). Faced with this dilemma and the demands of a contemporary play watcher for entertainment, one can only say that Director Patton Lockwood has made a most noble effort in the Longwood Player's produc- tion of Oedipus The King.
It was an effort, in that it did not always succeed in riveting the audience's attention. There were too many actors and actresses who did not carry the full power of their lines to their parts, leaving the audience distant and not fulfilling what Aristotle claimed a tragic play should be-namely, a catharisis of emotion. The audience should have left this production of Oedipus The King feeling drained mentally and emotionally. Instead one is left with a vague feeling of wonder at the originality of the special effects but little or no empathy with Oedipus, his eyes now blood filled pores.
Jim Greene, who played the chief priest in the opening scene of the play, ought to be banished from Longwood's stage. His lines, which told of the awful plight the city of Thebes was suffering, were delivered in an Atari like monotone. Somehow, I
think the chief priest of a city, that was suffering a firey plague, might bring a bit more spunk to his plea.
The same is true of Faith Lancaster, who played a shrewish Jocasta. Although she raised the volume of her speeches and did quite a bit better than Jim Greene, Faith still needs to work on the subtle pause and voice inflections which are so necessary to this type of play.
After watching Lisa Magill's rendition of a bitchy queen in "Once Upon a Mattress," Faith's pales by comparison.
Which brings UP another sore point for this play. Why wasn't Chris Conner casted as Oedipus? His performance as Creon was the most powerful of the play. Although Fred W. Campbell did a good job, his movements were stilted and the effect of the headstrong king, impulsive in proclamations, quick to anger and slowly working out his own fate is almost lost. Chris Connor's movements and acting were smooth and eloquent. He made a noble figure and out-Oedipused Oedipus.
Bob Lemieux as Teiresias came off as a timid character, holding on to his cane as if it could ward off Oedipus' wrath. His scene which was so potent with ironies and subtle double meanings and even to»a certain extent comedy was lost on his performance. It is hard to believe the oldest and wisest man in the

world was a wimp. The Corinthian messenger,
Jeffrey Thomas, was obviously used for comic relief. He trotted onto the stage looking like something out of a Ringo Starr movie and played his part excellently. The only question is why does a noble messenger from Corinth look like Fred Flintstone? For that matter, why does Jocasta, who is supposed to be Oedipus' mother, look like his daughter? Why does theTheban herdsman look like he's wearing a bee's hive? And, finally, why does Teiresias have a page boy
haircut? The play had its good points
though. Ronald Hurley's musical scores were excellent and brought about a mystical excitation, which beautifully complimented this play. His scores for the chorus were highly original and contained an interesting langauge rhythm,
which sounded similar to the Roman Catholic religious chants at Good Friday Mass (with the exception of clapping hands, of course). The only complaints in this area — it was difficult to understand their lines and

choreography should have been more precise.
The stage design of vertical sideprops, over the entrance backlighting and slanted stone court by Richard Gamble was fantastic. Lighting for the play was beautifully done and the last scene with the floodlights on Choregos in blood red was stupendous. But as happened so much throughout this play, Choregos, like certain other actors and actresses, did not live up to the lines.
Winners Of The April Artist-Of-The-Month Award
The winners of the Longwood College Art Department's Artist of the Month Award for April are David Volz and Elisabeth McGuinn.
David, whose plexiglass sculp- ture, "Space, the Final Frontier," won the studio art award, is presently a sophomore at Longwood. He is working toward a B.F.A. degree and will be concentrating in Printmaking and Graphic Design. A native Virginian, he resides with his mother, Mrs. Marguerite G. Volz, in Fairfax. During his last year at Oakton High School, David was responsible for designing and printing posters for the school. It was then that he became interested in Printmaking.
Currently an officer in Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, David is responsible for designing and
printing the annual Oktoberfest poster. He has also designed his fraternity's hall mural which was just completed on Third Floor Frazer.
Although his concentration as an Art Major is in printmaking, which he plans to make his career, his prize-winning work was done in three-dimensional design.
Miss McGuinn was the winner in the Art History section of the competition, for her paper discussing the architecture of the Dulles International Airport. Lis is presently a Junior working toward a B.F.A. degree in Drawing, with a Minor in Art History. Born in Munich, Germany, she currently lives in Northern Virginia with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. J. McGuinn of Vienna. She is a 1979
graduate of George C. Marshall High School.
Second Place in the Studio competition went to Mary Ruth Shields for a plaster sculpture, "Monica," and Third Place was awarded to Kathryn DeHaven for her "Rocking Horse," a mixed media piece.
Second Place in the Art History area was awarded to Michael I^wandowski.
The "Artist of the Month" competition is a monthly competition for all students enrolled in art classes at Ixmgwood. The award carries a $50 cash prize for first place winners and the winning work is displayed in the Bedford Art Building first floor hall. The competition is now in its second successful year.

Dr. Greenwood, during her inauguration speech, had the quote ot the week: ". . . if students are banking on money and jobs for their ultimate satisfaction in life, they may be in serious trouble when the jobs aren't there or job dissatisfaction occurs."
Greeks Continue To Eat Dirt
Barry Driver ran a one-man campaign against the unfair treatment Dr. Armstrong and Dr. Salters rammed down the throats of the Greeks. Both frater- nities and sororities really have no voice in decision making at Longwood because: 1.) The administration is more concerned with the hypothetical problems of drinking than the actuality that drinking is reality; 2.) A weak interfraternity system and 3.) Greeks that in- dependently will not fight for their rights.
The Greeks are exactly where they were in February when Dr. Greenwood promised Dallas Bradbury that action would be taken immediately.
The Rotunda Is Dying
The Rotunda is a disgusting newspaper. In the past it has been a newsletter for Sally-Red-and-White, Gang Green and every other assanine antic at Longwood. Finally it seems all the class color crap is dying. Thank God! It once seemed that the only intellectual thing reported on was where in the hell those rag dolls were hidden or when Chi walked. And nobody really cared except the few that were involved.
The sad thing now is that we do not even have students to write bathroom wall graffiti. There are only 4 people that write the entire paper every week. The Rotunda is a disgusting newspaper.

Where the hell is a word or two, or even a score from the men's tennis team? The damn rugby team, not even a college- supported team sport, gets half a page for losing and the men's
tennis team defeated both Randolph-Macon and Roanoke last week, but must wait for space in a later paper! Get on the ball!
Unsigned
Editor, the Rotunda, I would like to take this
opportunity to explain why I asked the Greeks to take the stand that they did this past weekend. As many of you know I made public on Thursday an editorial on how I felt the administration had been handling Greek issues. Also, I asked the class of '82 to boycott the inauguration. During the week I contacted each fraternity and on Thursday I presented my editorial and request before the Panhellenic Council. Not once did I hear any opposition and much support was promised.
On the day of the inauguration I did not pass out copies of my editorial. Up until that time I told everyone that I planned to do this. I never actually intended to embarrass the administration in front of Dr. Greenwood's guests and I do not think we did. What we did achieve was to bring this issue to the attention of everyone on campus. This is not just an issue over Greeks having alcohol in their chapter rooms. More importantly, it is an issue over students and student groups such as student Senate not having a voice on this campus.
There were several results that came out of this weekend. Many people stood up and backed our issue. Some students stood up and strongly objected to our stand. A few previously respected student leaders did not stand up for what they or their groups stood for because they did not wish to
jeopardize their reputations. The Dean of the college totally lost her composure over the issue. And finally the College President did not let herself get put in a bad situation. Those students who took our stand and also the President have my gratitude and admiration. Those students who stood up against us also have my respect because what this college needs is people who stand up for what they believe in.
Now that we have brought this issue out in the open I hope that we the students and the administration can work together to iron out the problems. Copies of my editorial will be available so everyone will be able to see the facts leading up to this situation. I hope that there will be no hard feelings or loss of respect from either side because the Greeks and administration can work together in a positive manner. But, in order for this to happen there must be an equal effort on both sides.

Editor, the Rotunda, There was a time when the

"Jim & Bejae SNACK BAR 8 PM
According to the procedures for student proposals, the issue went on to the administration where it was acted upon selectively. They agreed on the issue of visitation, but rejected our request to reclassify the rooms and allow the consumption of alcohol. The main issue surrounding the proposal was undoubtedly the use of alcohol in the chapter rooms. Myself and other advocates of the proposal were quite disappointed when our request was denied. We were not only disappointed at the denial of our request, but also the effectiveness of student government. As students, we followed all the guidelines for student input to college policy and all the many efforts went for nothing. I am an active member of Operation Care and recognize the need for responsible use of alcohol in our community, but is to restrict student freedom the way to promote responsibility? Asking a friend what was the purpose of student government, the reply was "to make the students feel that they have a say in the policy of the school." Right now it seems that student government is a symbolic gesture amidst authoritarian rule. Personally, I feel confident that the newly inaugurated president will bring about positive changes to this college. The students need and want a say in what is to be here at IiOngwood. We are what the school is all about. I ask the administration to be more responsive to the students' desires. I also ask the students to become more active to ensure that you receive the benefits that are rightfully yours.

observation in this type of school really advantageous. Plus Longwood is so close by it makes it easily accessible for education students to get here. It's an excellent training area for teachers to get their feet wet."
Students of the Campus School feel no better about the upcoming displacement. "They are running a petition with over 50 signatures or so to send to the President" said Lynn. The students probably have a right to be disgruntled. They will be shifted from a school with some of the best developed Art, Music and Physical Education programs to such schools as Prince Edward
p County, "where the established music and art program is a one hour class twice a week", said one teacher who had substituted at the county public school.
Dr. Buck has pointed out that there are local alternatives for
(Continued from Page 1) students choosing a school next year, but for the 130 who live in Prince Edward, it is a choice between attending Prince Edward Academy where tuition per student is about $1,000 or the public school system.
The teachers at the campus school are also put in a bad position. Even those who are tenured are job hunting. Sandy Stauffer, a teacher at the Campus School said "All of us are having to find a job, even those that have tenure. It's difficult for those who have been here for quite a few years. For a teacher that has taught for more than 10 years, it's hard to find another school that will pay the same wage...that is willing to pay for your experience and expertise."Thus far only one of the 12 teachers has found another position.
Longwood has had several suggestions on what to do with
the soon to be empty facility. One of the most hopeful was housing the Southside Special Education Consortium (currently housed at Prince Edward Public Schools at the campus school. But the consortium proposal i which was voted on by school superintendents from seven surrounding counties) did not get the support of Prince Edward County.
Don Winkler, Longwood College's director of Public Affairs said that there are currently no plans concerning what will be made of the Campus School next year. Dr. Buck hopes that the building will be used in a manner that enhances the edu-| cational program for Long- wood College. "Longwood has a fine reputation as a teacher training college...without it (the Campus School) that reputation will be tarnished".

Jazz Specialist To Speak on April 21
Show Choir Comes To Longwood
By CINDY CORELL It all started at the beginning of
the spring semester of 1982. Flyers were distributed over the campus advertising auditions for Longwood's Show Choir which was trying to get off the ground. Tentatively entitled Vocal Arts Ensemble, the few (fifteen) performers, accompanist, and director finally came together. They rehearsed several times a week for hours at a time, hoping against hope and using the tremendous amount of faith they all share to become the professional performers that they proved themselves to be Saturday when they debuted at the Inaugural Reception.
"This is the maiden voyage of a brand-new group who's time has come," said Director Lee Egbert to the audience, dedicating the first performance "to you, and to President Greenwood, and to Longwood College."
The hundreds of people who drifted around through the Gold Room and A-B-C rooms stopped for the two 15-minute shows that the Show Choir put on. The electricity moved like lightning into the room, leaving the audiences thoroughly entertained and highly complimentary. They were moved from body swaying rhythms when the number "Great Jubilations" opened the show to tender emotions from numbers such as "It Was Almost Like a Song" and "You're the One" and back to spine tingling excitement as they closed with a "Fame" medley including "Fame," "Out Here On My Own." and "I Sing the Body
Electric." Their voices blended like ;i
rainbow's colors and their moves, choreographed by Horace Scruggs. Sabra Seneff and Eileen Mathes. were similar to a Broadway chorus line This. group is definitely here to stay, much to the satisfaction of Longwood College. Students, faculty and administration alike were moved by the show, the enthusiasm of the group and the talent finally being shown. But the Show Choir needs more than just this support at performances, though they greatly appreciate it. They need several musicians (drummer, electric bass player and a jazz pianist) more singer-dancers to audition for next semester. Members of the ensemble receive one credit hour. They also need equipment and funds to build on the strong foundation they have managed to construct. The investment seems worthy to anyone who has seen the lively group.
The Show Choir plans to travel to high schools, spreading their enthusiasm and talent to easily inspired high school students. This is in addition to performances on campus throughout the semester. But the music costs money; the microphones and amplifiers cost money. With help and financial support this group will find no limit to their abilities, and students across Virginia and audiences here will have no limit to their enlightenment and entertainment.

Coming on the heels of a 10-0,
Team Ranked 16th With Mark of 22-4-1 12-3 sweep of St. Paul's Friday, the weekend wins gave Coach Bolding plenty to smile about as he looks ahead to his team's chances of advancing to post season play for the first time ever.
"If we continue to play as we are, we should have a good shot at a bid to the NCAA Division II Playoffs," said the coach. "This is the first time we've ever had two wins this big back-to-back. When you demonstrate that you can win the big games back-to- back, it should establish you as a legitimate playoff contender."
Longwood faces a tough slate of nine games over the next eight days. After a trip to Virginia Monday, the Lancers visit James Madison Wednesday, Lynchburg Friday, St. Mary's (MD)
Saturday and Bowie St. Sunday before returning home to host Hampden-Sydney April 26. Longwood closes out its season at Washington & Lee April 27. St. Mary's and Bowie St. are twinbills.
Ranked 16th in Division II in Collegiate Baseball's latest Top 20, the Lancers did nothing to tarnish their reputation last week despite a tough 9-5 loss to Virginia Commonwealth Monday. Longwood swept St. Paul's Friday as Mickey Roberts pitched a three-hit shutout in the opener and Bill Catron came back with a four-hitter in the nightcap. Roberts struck out seven and Catron nine.

SPORTS Todd And Kersey Pace
Longwood Netters
From Sports Info Coming off a 1981 season record
of 1-13, Ixongwood's tennis record now stands at 6-4. One of the major reasons for the team's sudden turn-around is the outstanding play of members John Todd and Bryan Kersey.
Todd, a junior business major, has found that the team's sudden change can be attributed to a better attitude on the part of the players.
"Everyone pushes each other a lot more this year," he commented. "Last year everyone was working on an individual level, but this season has been a real team effort."
A graduate of Fort Hunt High School, John has also found his own tennis career undergoing a major rehaul. His current singles record is 6-4, a sharp contrast to his 1981 mark of 1-12. He plays in the No. 2 position.
i guess the major difference in my playing this year has been in my attitude," John said.
When 1 step out on the court now I have a lot more confidence than I did last season."

"We worked out all year round this season," he stated. "If it was too cold or too messy, we played indoors. I think that the extra practice really helped boost my game and my confidence."
John's teammate and doubles partner, Bryan Kersey agrees that the team shares an unusual closeness.
"There is a good atmosphere on the courts, both at practice and during the matches," Kersey commented. "All of the players are very close — we even hang around together after practice."
Bryan, a freshman majoring in biology, has had little trouble adjusting to the pressures of college competition. His singles record is 7-3 in the No. 4 position, and he and John lost their first doubles match only last Saturday.
"In a way, I guess I'm glad we got that first loss over with," he joked. "Now we can settle down and win the rest of our matches."
Kersey admits that his long- term tennis goal is basically team oriented.
"I want to win all of my remaining matches, mostly because I want the team to be able to qualify for post-season competition," Bryan stated.
In doubles, Todd and Kersey have been a force to reckon with. They have teamed up for a 7-1 mark at the number 2 position. Both players feel that their personal friendship has contributed to their success.
Sometimes we get a little irritated with each other when one of us makes a mistake," John offered. "But we're such good friends that we get along well together on the court. We like to play together."
Kersey participated in cross country, basketball and tennis at Peninsula Catholic High School and was captain of the tennis and basketball teams. Todd participated in tennis and basketball at Fort Hunt and has played rugby at Longwood.
