New Personnel Added
In Administration
This year, as in previous years, St.
Mary’s has some changes-in person
nel. This year there have been three
new members added to the adminis
trative stalf. Rev. Robert B. Hobgood,
the new chaplain, came to St. Mary s
from his parrish in Jacksonville, Fla.
Living in Jacksonville most of his
life, he attended Jacksonville Senior
Fligh and graduated from the Uni
versity of Florida in 1965. He re
ceived his ministerial degree from the
Virginia Theological Seminary in
1968. Mr. Hobgood enjoys listening
to his stereo and reading in his spare
time. Fie and his wife Nancy and
their daughter Susan are planning an
extensive trip across country to the
West Coast and Canada for next
summer. Mr. Hobgood feels that
there is opportunity for close contact
between both the faculty and stu
dents but he thinks that both groups
must put forth the initiative to create
a meaningful relationship.
This year a new position was cre
ated in the St. Mary’s administration
land in charge of tbis office is a re
turning alumna. Miss Sealy Cross.
Miss Cross is from Marion. She at
tended prep school at St. Mary’s Hall
in San Antonio, and then transferred
to St. Mary’s Jr. College. In her new
job, she will travel extensively in Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South Caro
lina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Ala
bama with the “College Day” pro
grams and will interview guidance
offices and students. Miss Cross feels
that St. Mary’s is constantly chang
ing, sometimes quite hectically, but
she loves it and feels great hope for
the future.
Another new face is that of Rev.
Henry A. Witten, who is from the
Cleveland area. He attended a pri
vate boys’ school in Shaker Heights,
Ohio. He received his Bachelor of
Science in education from Baldwin-
Wallace College. He then studied at
Virginia Theological Seminary. Mr.
Witten’s favorite pastimes are playing
golf and tennis. As Director of Col
lege Relations, Mr. Witten believes
that there is a good foundation given
by the students for opportunity and
a promising future.

MOVIE REVIEW
In August of 1969, close to 300,000
people came together on Max Yas-
gar’s farm in New York and lived
for three days — an experience that
has come to be the legend of Wood-
stock. The movie, now playing at the
Cardinal Theater, is a record of the
event, objective enough to be termed
documentary. It is a product of care
ful editing and an honest desire on
the part of its makers to give a true
picture of the festival.
The musical performances which
were chosen to be included in the
movie are representative of the kinds
of talent which were displayed at the
festival. Highlights include the per
formances given by Richie Havens
and Santana. But perhaps even bet
ter than the music are the parts of
the movie which show the people
themselves. For the most part, one
sees the peace and love reflected in
the lifestyles of these people — this
Woodstock nation — But there was
something else at Woodstock that
cannot be drowned by the music or
escaped from with pot or concealed
by the ideals of peace and love.
Watch the faces. Look into the eyes
of the young people you see in the
movie, and read what is there. Some
of them seem to be searching for
something.
The Woodstock Festival was three
days of fun, but what was there to re
turn to when the last notes of Hen
drix faded? Many stayed to clean up
Mr. Yasgar’s property, but most
moved on. The movie closes with
scenes of the debris left after the fes
tival. The kids left without looking
over their shoulders, but these scenes
leave a lasting impression on the
movie audience as they hear the
words of Joni Mitchell’s poetry:
We are stardust, billion-year old
carbon
We are golden, caught in the
devil’s bargain.
And we’ve got to get ourselves back
to the garden.
THE MIDI —
Will It Be Worn At SMJC?
A recent poll was taken on the sub-'
ject that faces many of us — whether
to wear the new midi length. Most of
the opinions expressed revealed oppo
sition to the midi. Descriptions rang
ed from “tacky” to “repulsive!” In the
words of Betsy Blee, senior, “The
midi hides the true bod.” Ainslie
Jones, freshman, and Mary Zaytoun,
senior, agreed that the longer look is
more attractive on taller girls than on
shorter ones.
Several girls defended the new
look. They tbink that it is “com
fortable,” “unique,” and “fantastic.”
Some of the girls interviewed had
ulterior motives, however. Jane Eg
gleston, senior, likes midis because
she doesn’t have to shave her legs as
high. Peaches Rankin likes them be
cause they hide what she referred to
as her “fat legs.”
The faculty proved to be on the
negative side of the question. Miss
Eaton thinks the new look is un-
sexy.” Miss R took no definite stand
by merely saying that the longer
clothes were “fasnionable.”
