In Your Rotunda: This week’s online poll is “What would you like to see more of in The Rotunda?” Definitely take a chance to vote, especially if you feel like this student.
So far, the results are:
Forgot about EARN!: You’d think that with an intrepid student-run think tank tackling the issues of money and brand-advertisement at Longwood, we’d no longer need to hire outsiders. But no.
Next week: Pranks.

Remember: The SGA is hosting a Student Services Open Forum this evening at six in the Lankford Ballroom. Never have so many prominent members of the Longwood community been gathered together at one time. That’s a fact.
In Your Rotunda: These folks know how to grab you by the lapels and keep you reading. Here’s how they do it: begin with a word, a word the simpleton reader may not understand. Give the word’s definition. Proceed to lecture.
For example, here’s a word: irony. Definition: when a WMLU member, fresh from being issued an official reprimand on Sunday by her fellow board member, publishes an article in the Rotunda titled “Apathy IS a Problem.” The editors knew what they were doing when they filed this baby in the Entertainment section.
Is it possible to capture the essence of Longwood’s students and staff in a single photo?:
Yes!
UPDATE: We originally wrote that the WMLU member/Rotunda writer was “raked across the coals.” This was an exaggeration. Based on the descriptions of the Sunday night meeting, the proceedings were civil.

Mall Brawl: Officially, “Longwoodstock” will occur this Saturday. But if anything ever resembled the hastily organized 1969 gathering of freaks, it is Friday’s Battle of the Bands at the Lankford Mall, sponsored, as always, by the squirrelly freak-fest that is WMLU. They have a behemoth of a show lined up. From four to ten PM you’ll be able to hear thirteen bands, twice what Mortar Board is offering on Saturday. All the bands have at least one member affiliated with Longwood. Two bands will get cash prizes while the others, like most of the bands at ’69 Woodstock, will get nothing.
Here’s the schedule:
B.C.’s Pickup ———– 4:00pm
Arch Stanton ———– 4:30pm
Jackie Stem ———— 5:00pm
Big Fresh Meat ———– 5:30pm
Juice Mouse ————- 6:00pm
Sonic Skandal ———— 6:30pm
Go Indigo ————– 7:00pm
Thine Heart ————- 7:30pm
Hell City Sinners ——— 8:00pm
Dream Atlantic ——— 8:30pm
I Am the Kid ———— 9:00pm
Black Raptor Hoedown – 9:30pm
One Ambition ———– 10:00pm
Military Intellijanks: A Longwood Professor will soon be publishing a report that examines the U.S. military’s bad habit of selling old computers without erasing sensitive information.
Cut…!: That tour de force of college promotion, LU uncut!, has been removed from the Longwood home page. We knew it would happen one day…but this was too soon. It was only three years old! It had so much potential. It’s all too sudden. We never had time to say goodbye.
Master Plan: If you haven’t seen Vision 2020: The Longwood University Campus Master Plan video, check it out here.
Reminder: We’re now accepting artwork submissions. Photos, sketches, paintings, Paint and iPhone doodles, comic strips, etc. Submissions do not have to pertain to Longwood.

The Other Acclaimed Horror Writer: Peter Straub, writer of seventeen horror novels including Ghost Story, will give a reading in the Molnar Recital Hall tonight at eight. Straub was supposed to do this a year ago, but had to reschedule. If you’re free tonight, go see it. Horror writers in person > Thirsty Thursdays.
RIP Frog: For those who have been at Longwood for a while, a good friend recently passed away. Will Pettus, an ’06 alumnus, died this week of a heart attack while in Cumberland Gap, Kentucky. If you knew Will and would like to pay your respects, go here. We’ll remember Will as an educator and an outdoorsman. He smiled a lot, knew how to hang out, and he liked overalls. There aren’t enough people like Will, and we’ll miss him.
HEADLINE HEADLINE HEADLINE: We would just like to say that we think it’s pretty awesome and quite fitting that the rugby headlines in the Rotunda ARE IN ALL CAPS RAHHHHHHHHHH.
Big. Ass. Website.: If you haven’t already noticed, you no longer have to include WordPress when typing in the name of this website. Just type longwoodhole.com
ALSO: We’re now accepting artwork submissions. Photos, sketches, paintings, Paint and iPhone doodles, comic strips, etc. Submissions do not have to pertain to Longwood. It just needs to be weird, funny, interesting, or a combination of all of these characteristics. A black and white photo of an old person’s wrinkled-ass hands does not, in our opinion, fit into those categories. But if the wrinkled-ass hands are flicking us off, well, we would certainly publish that!

Crackers With Less Cheese: In case you haven’t already heard, Longwood’s funding has suffered a $3.5 million cut from the $30 million in general funding. All the other state schools received similar shaftings.
The End of a Dumbass Era: The two-headed duck thing, also known as Two-Headed Trojan Duck or Tacky McTacky, is finally gone. Freshmen must now search for a new eyesore as a backdrop for their photos. Here’s a good start.
Why Longwood? Pocketcams, bitch: So we recently found this hidden hunk of wonderfulness…
“Their classes. Their activities. Their thoughts. Their friends.”
After we finished the last season of ”The Sopranos” this summer, we were wondering where we’d now get our daily drama fix. Fix found.
Unfortunately, despite the website’s claim that each week they’ll be posting an “episode from their life,” three of the seven bloggers have so far submitted exactly dick.
Maybe they are saying that life at Longwood is mostly about forgetting important shit you were supposed to do. We would buy that.
