Wilson in a speech at Tuesday night ’ s lnterfratemity Council meeting. “The fraternities at W&L are, .without question, the most active and vital social organizations in the Alcohol use to be examined By Cathy Lopiccolo Staff Reporter The Health Education Committee will be sponsoring a series of events next week to mark National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, according to W&L senior Nancy Hickam, co-chairman of the Committee. “(We want) to get people to be aware of the effects of alcohol and how much they drink,” Hickarn said. “A lot of people don't realize they have a problem with alcohol or how much they depend on it.” The first event planned by the committee is a banner contest on the weeks theme of “Absolut Awareness," taken from the brand of liquor,‘ said senior Carter Montague, the committee’s other cliaiiman. The residence halls will be making the banners for cornpetition “The banners are supposed to be done on this Friday and judged. The winning hall gets an ice cream party or a pizza party, and their banner will be hung somewhere on campus during next week,” Hickam said. Monday night Michael Deaver, who served as Deputy Chief of Staff under former President Ronald Reagan, will speak in Lee Chapel. ,l.l Please see ALCOHOL page 3 institutions,” said Wilson. “This school has a lot of confidence and a lot at stake in the leadership the fraternities provide.” The only setback for the program thus far, Wilson said, are cost overruns. “We had been hoping to keep the renovation within our original cost estimates,” Wilson said. “Unfortunately, the first four houses are running about 30 percent over cost.” The current poor quality of the houses is related to what Wilson called “the general decline of the fraternity movement." Since the late ‘stile. A K’.

Wilson said the trend was particularly apparent at W&L. During the 1982-83 school year, about 62 percent of W&L students were fraternity houses. Now, said Wilson, the percentage of male A SAB rules revised; BGCOUHIS By Brooke Jzirabek Staff Reporter The Executive Committee has revised the financial procedures of the Student Activities Board after the SAB amassed a $26,000 deficit for fiscal year 1988-1989. To do this, the EC broke the SAB budget into two parts instead of giving the SAB one lump sum as it had in the past. The Fancy Dress Ball fund has been separated from the SAB general fund. The general ’ fund of S40,0()0 was further sepa- rated iiito funds for Fall ($15,000), Winter (Sl5,()l)()), and Spring (Sl(),()(l0). The EC also eliminated all SAB charge accounts. All SAB pur- chases must now go through the Business Office. The SAB will have to get a check from the Busi- ness Olifiec for a predetermined amount of money and then cash it in order to purchase ice, cups and any other supplies. “This will prevent charges from closed coming in late and prevent not giv- , ing an accurate account of where money has been spent," according to EC President Willard Dumas. He said the new procedure will give the EC a more accurate account of expenditures as well as “requiring SAB to plan and organize better." “The SAB considered it a personal attack when [the EC] cut their bud- get, but the budgets of all the other campus organizations were also cut,” Dumas said. The number of organizations to which the EC goves funds has in- creased from about 5 or 6 two years ago to about 25 this year, said Du- mas. The student activities fee that each student pays yearly to provide funds for these student groups has increased by only $5 in that time. Dumas said the EC will seek the approval of the Board of Trustees to increase the yearly student activity fee by at least $10. “If we don't raise the fee,” he said, “we'll be in the same position next year."

Will Jones, who had not applied for a position on the Fancy Dress committee in the first interviews, was named the new vice chairinini. Hitz resigned from his position as vice chair after Richard Spence was appointed chairman. Spence also resigned from his position say- ing the SAB was willing to cooper- ate with him only if he played by their rules. He could not accept their rules and quit because, he said, . .:.« his hands “were tied from the start.” Hitz, who had applied for the position of chairman while Spence had applied for the position of audi- tor, resigned because he believed he was more qualified to be Fancy Dress Chairman then Spence, al- though Spence had similar organiza- tional experiences in high school. Hitz also said he would accept a position other than chairman only if he could work with the chairman. EC President Willard Dumas said Hitz was the only applicant for the position because "the job has gotten so big it scares students away." ' After Spence resigned, declaring the SAB would not cooperate with » w v: -w-.-»..- .. hi.»-_ :e.4~."_~.“\f!~i-: .. . .'

He added students may think "those people aren't willing to bend those expectations, so a lot of stu- dents don’t want to come into a po- sition" where the supporting people refuse to change their ideas. Dumas said the EC is attempting to change the chairrnan’s job de- scription and encourage the three officers to share the burden because the responsibility is too big for one person to handle alone. é! ."é.!!2""".!"'!:-‘!‘..4.‘.‘t:‘:-'-é'2’¥‘!’V‘?‘.!‘!"!' ,---<:~ ~. - students has risen back to about 90 percent, and the old attitude about fraternities has begun to change. “You students have inherited a system that’s been in decline for almost 20 years,” Wilson said. “Frankly, the shape of your houses reflects that, but you are the people who can change it.” Wilson assured the fraternities the school is committed to insuring the fraternities’ survival, through the renovation program. “Fraternities have been since before the Civil War,” here said Wilson. “I think we can agree that fraternities are too important to just football game.

Patrick Hinely. let them slip away.” Wilson said many other colleges, such as Williams College and Amherst College, reacted to mounting liability problems with fraternities by simply eliminating them. ‘ Other colleges, such as Dartmouth, imposed tight new restrictions on fraternities without offering to help the houses attain them, thus effectively sentencing the houses to extinction, Wilson said. “It was almost as if they were hoping the fraternities would fail,” Wilson said. “But here, the students, alumni, trustees, and even Walsh most of the faculty have said fraternities are too important to let them go by the wayside.” The goals of the program go far beyond simply rebuilding the houses, Wilson said. “Fraternities were once considered homes where one could select the people he could work with, party with, and grow to maturity with,” said Wilson. “Now, they’re seen as just a party pavilion. We're hoping to see that change." The renovation program is set to begin this summer, when work will begin on four houses. tapped for A.D. post By Jay Plotkin Sports Editor Wednesday afternoon, Washing- ton and Lee announced that Michael Walsh will become the school’s next athletic director effective Dec.‘ 1. “l was impressed with every- thing I saw when I came down to visit,” said Walsh. “I got the im- pression that the athletic program was healthy. I was impressed with the professionalism and enthusiasm that the coaches showed toward both their teams and their teaching jobs.” Walsh becomes the fifth athletic director in W&L’s history. He re- places William McHenry, who re- signed over the summer. Walsh comes to W&L from Dartmouth College, where he served as head baseball coach and assistant athletic director since 1981. Said Walsh, “I’m very excited, and my family is very excited about coming to Lexington." Said W&L president John Wil- son, “We are delighted that Mr. Walsh and his family have accepted our offer to join the Washington and Lee community. We look for- w.ii'd to his leadership, gained through his years of experience as a coach and an administrator. “He comes from an Ivy League Michael Walsh school with the balance of academ- ics and athletics in the proper pro- spective. He understands otir situa- tion and will be able to provide us with fresh views that someone from outside the community can bring." His specific duties at Dartmouth centered around event management, budgeting, marketing and NCAA compliance. Walsh, 41, was also part of a management team that iri- stituted a five-year plan for improv- ing the quality of Dartmouth‘s com- petitive sports program. Within four years, the plan produced Dart- month's best won-lost record in 27 years.

Last year was an interim period for the student organization, accord- ing to Smith, and was “definitcly" worth the resulting budgetary prob- lerns. “We knew it was going to take a year, maybe two, to get the stu- dents psyched to go to an SAB function," said Smith. The financial headaches of last year’s Fancy Dress stemmed from the Thursday night B.B. King con- cert, which loss. “We had a huge name for incurred a substantial ock The Connells played the Pavilion Friday night of Thursday night and you just can’t support that," said Smith. No records exist, however, of exactly how much money was lost since the receipts for Thursday night’s ticket sales and tickets for Friday’s ball were never separated. Smith said the Friday night Fancy Dress Ball initially made money for the SAB. This was true originally, according to a budget report sent to the Executive Com- mittee immediately after Fancy Dress. That report showed receipts approximately $2,000 over costs. That figure, however, failed to con- sider bills yet to come in, said Smith. Incoming Fancy Dress bills con- tinue to create pressures for this year’s SAB. The latest bill — more than $800 from Rose's — arrived just this past Tuesday, according to this year’s SAB. Treasurer Katie Duwel. “Even to this day, we don't know what was actually spent be- cause we don’t know what bills are yet to come in,” said Duwel. The unorganized handling of money was the biggest problem with last year’s SAB, according to Smith. “We had so much money going through our hands last year, more than we had ever, because we brought in more money. We had bigger entertainment and bigger bud- gets,” said Smith. Smith blames last year’s SAB treasurer Mike Carroll for not keep- ing accurate records of the charges and future bills. “There should have been a ledger kept, but we've been looking and we can't find it,” said Smith. Smith says she handed the bills to Carroll and expected him to keep the records. “The treasurer is supposed to be on top of things...I had a million other things to do,” said Smith. Smith said her requests for a sepa- rate FD account were tumed down both last year and the year before. “What the FD chairman needs is a secretary. Perhaps the establishment of a Fancy Dress au- ditor this year will help," said Smith. Homecoming. Staff photo bv Cary Baber. OCR::/Vol_089/WLURG39_RTP_19891012/WLURG39_RTP_19891012_002.2.txt OPINION Lexington tries . a new tax dance The personal property tax in the city of Lexington is 5.5 percent. To put it in more graphic terms, if a Washington and Lee student were made to pay this tax on a brand-new BMW 325i convertible, the bill would come to $1,950. Lexington is, as its leaders like to say, “financially stressed.” Because the city is restricted from expanding, Lexington has few ways to expand its tax income. Thus was born the notion to tax student cars. After all, don't students park their cars here nine months out of each year? Don't they use city streets and take advantage of city services? 30 they should pay the same tax as year—round residents, right.‘ Wrong. The reason is simple. It's not legal. The issue hinges on the distinction between in-state and out—of-state students. For out—of-state students who pay property taxes back home,s there seems to be no question. Section 58.1-3511 of the state code says, “Any person domiciled in another state whose motor vehicle is principally parked in this Commonwealth during the tax year shall not be subject to a personal property tax on such vehicle upon showing of sufficient evidence that such person has paid a personal property tax on the vehicle in the state in which he is domiciled.” The statute goes on to say that a “similar tax” in the car owner’s home state will make him exempt. In the next paragraph, the law says someone who has paid a personal property tax in Virginia and a “similar tax” in his home state “may apply to such city or county for a refund of such tax payment.” I , Lexington City Manager Joseph King, in a letter to The Ring-tum Phi, said, in his opinion, that meant students could be made to pay the difference between Lexington’s tax rate and that of the student's home state. l That assessment, we believe, is faulty. Every state, as well as the federal government, provides for refunds of excess tax payments. Accidents happen. Every year, many people pay taxes for which they are not obligated. If such cases, they can apply for a refund of the unnecessary payment. i‘ That appears to be the case here. If a student were to pay an urmecessary tax to the city of Lexington, the law provides him with a means to get a refund, not the city with a means to tax students twice for the same property. I Although the law does not seem to address in-state students, we believe the doctrine of fairness obligates the city to exempt in-state students from the personal property tax as well. Is it fair to subject in-state students to what amounts to two personal property taxes? Lexington’s rate is the highest in the state, so every in-state student would pay at least a fraction of that 5.5 percent. Also, is it fair to tax in-state students while those students who have, by accident of birth, escaped Virginia residency are exempted? King said Lexington is waiting for the city attorney to deliver an opinion on the matter. There is no need to wait. The law is clear. Lexington will have to look elsewhere. Lee remembered One century and nineteen years ago this morning, Gen. Robert E. Lee, then the president of this college, died. He was remembered earlier today in a memorial service in the chapel that bears his name. During President George Bush's visit to Charlottesville last month, the then—president of the University of Virginia, Robert O'Neill, pointed out that Thomas Jefferson is mentioned at least every two hours on the UVa campus. “There are worse habits,” he observed. The same is perhaps often said of Lee here: Why must we praise him constantly? Weren’t their two founders? And didn’t anyone else do anything for W&L? The answer, of course, is yes. But there is a reason why we remember Lee so fondly and so often. Perhaps Maj. John W. Daniel explained it best, when he spoke at the unveiling ceremony for the statue that rests in Lee Chapel: Here for five years the General devoted himself to the cause of education, and here under him that cause nobly flourished. Here he demonstrated that comprehensive grasp of every subject connected with his sphere; and the keen apprehension of the demands of this progressive age, and of a land entering as it were upon a new birth. His associates in the faculty loved him as a father, and all who saw or knew his work with common voice proclaimed the conviction expressed by one of the most distinguished of his associates, that he was ”the best College President that this country has ever produced."

MY VIEW By Gary McCullough and Aelica Ingenthron What is the purpose of a stu- dent—run Executive Committee? If there is any point in having such a committee at a liberal arts school, then it seems logical that such a committee would promote the same kind of atmosphere that is condu- cive to a liberal arts education - an education which, under ideal circ- urnstances, promotes an open ex- change of ideas for the benefit of none other than those who have the courage to exchange them. So, con- sidering the importance of such a committee, if there is any doubt as to whether the committee is per- forming to the best of its capabili- ties, then such a doubt must be ad- dressed immediately. For, if the committee fails to do this then it betrays not only itself, but the stu- organization"? The impression which I gathered from their com- ments was that a political organiza- tion is anything which “personally offen " any one of the EC’s mem- bers. Rest assured that if I were a member of the EC and had the right to make my decision in the same manner, then the Liberty Hall Vol- unteers sure as hell wouldn't have received $900 which they were allo- cated for the year. After all, I would have made my decision pure- ly on that which I found offensive. And what could be more‘ offensive than a group of southern college students marching around in Con- federate uniforms? Didn't the Mi- nority Student Association boycott Fancy Dress two years ago on the basis that the same theme had’ racist cormotations? The point of this is not to attack the Liberty Hall Volunteers, but to attack the principle by which The EC denied Amnesty International, a committee which is designed to pro- mote human rights, their fair share of the EC’s central funding. I, per- sonally, would have rather seen that $900 go toward saving prisoners of conscience. However, my opinion does not count - not because my opinion is not important, but appar- ently because I am not a member of the EC. Even the W&L student handbook classifies Amnesty Inter- national separately from the political organizations. One might assume that bias is, entering into my interpretation of the EC’s decision-making process. ' However, I am basing my argu— I ment solely on what I was told at the meeting, which can be summekii up well by EC Rep. David Antho- ‘ ny, who said, “I personally find your organization offensive." 'Well, 0 all I have to say to that person is that I find YOUR organization quite ' offensive. But who cares what ei- I ther of us think? - the point is that the student body has to live with ’ what he thinks, not with what It think. Even the United States government has a system of checks ‘ and balances. Think about that! ' ,. D on women being offended by the theme. It was just that — a theme! Secondly, responding to last week's car- toon depicting a W&L guy dressed up as a W&L girl for Homecoming Queen: I don't understand why W&L women winning Home- coming Queen should create a fuss. It should be that way. A Hollins/Sweetbriar, etc. girl winning W&L Homecoming Queen is like an Australian girl winning Miss America because "she speaks English and visits America a lot." Sincerely, Rachelle Nock, ’9l FD applicant addresses EC I am writing this letter as a formal complaint to the Executive Committee for what I consider behavior on. the part of both individuals on the EC4and the EC as a whole. I do want it to be to be unfair and disrespectful would imagine, following so disastrous an interview, that there were many that probably did not even read my application with any particular care. This is a practice which defeats the entire purpose of the written application. As well, this procedure shows great disrespect to the applicant and, quite frankly, an incredible amount of gall on the part of the members of the EC to assume any position of authority in the decision-making process, given the unpreparedness of the committee members and the inequity with which the applicant was treated. For this procedure does not take into account the confidence and eloquence so well expressed on paper but lost in the transition to speech in front of a panel of thirteen members by a nervous applicant to a position that does not require such eloquence in speech. My second complaint is to an individual on the EC, second-year law Rep. Mark Cobb. It is directed at a question asked of me by Mr. Cobb after my formal dismissal from the interview by Mr. Dumas. It was a question that, so phrased and so timed," could do nothing but to further the detriment of my interview. I should hope that every subject who falls prey to an interview by the EC is not treated Student asks: is SAB lying?’ Last week I paused over two words that appeared in Richard Spence's editorial on his SAB experience. The words were “creative bookkeeping" quoted from Alexander Hitz. What does this mean? According to Spence, they represent “fraud, mismanagement, and lies.” If what Spence asserts is true, have members of the SAB breached the Honor System? To my knowledge, the White Book does not address the question of how one maintains his finances. Is it any wonder that the Hill has been curtailing student responsibility with examples like the SAB? Let's hope that the SAB has answers for the accusations made by Richard Spence. Jeff Woodland, '91 dents it represents and the institution ‘ which brings them together. , One of the problems which can occur within such a committee is ' the presence of bias.

EWS Students affected by Hurricane Hugo By Kelley McCabe Staff Reporter Shortly after hurricane Hugo crashed through South Carolina, W&L senior Mary Hipp left school to survey the damage done to her home on Pawley’s Island, just south of Myrtle Beach. Hipp found that although Hugo broke only a window of the main house where her family resides part time, the separate house where Hipp resides was levelled. To help Hipp and others who suffered injuries and property damages during the storm that passed through South Carolina three weeks ago, food, cleaning supplies and other necessities were shipped to the area from all over the nation by groups like the Salvation Army. “Stuff was coming in from Volunteers By Tracey Thornblade Staff Reporter Have you ever wondered why a bunch of Washington and Lee students would be marching around in uniform on a chilly Sunday afternoon? The answer is that these men are the Liberty Hall Volunteers, who held a memorial service for Gen. Robert E. Lee today at noon in Lee Chapel. The group was originally founded in 1861 at Washington College by Prof. James White to fight in the Civil War. The band of 73 men, 57 of them students at the college, participated in every battle, "march and encampment which Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson commanded from May 1861 to Lee’s surrender at Appomattox in April 1865. Two Washington and Lee students re—forrned the group in 1987 to preserve the historical significance of the volunteers’ presence on the W&L campus. John Williamson and Earnest Shaver were the two who reactivated the group. One of Williarnson’s ancestors had ‘been 'one~of" the 1 everywhere,’ said Hipp. Alpha Phi Omega, W&L’s service fraternity, was one of the many groups who sponsored a drive for the survivor's of Hugo. The drive was organized by Lexington resident Mirabai McLeod. McLeod initially tried to donate goods through the Red Cross, but when she discovered the Red Cross was not participating in a relief program, she decided to organize one on her own. McLeod said she publicized the drive through newspaper notices and radio blurbs in the Lexington area. Alpha Phi Omega also posted signs around campus. Although only two boxes of goods were collected from W&L, McLeod said concerned individuals from the area donated many cleaning supplies, non-perishable food items, and baby food.

The drive successfully filled a 24-foot long truck, donated by U- Haul, which was stationed in Kroger’s parking lot all Saturday, said McLeod. Two VMI cadets drove the truck to a small town in South Carolina near McLellanville. hold service for Lee “For other groups it's only a hobby, but members here have a respect for the traditions of the group.” — Kent Gregory Kent Gregory, the current president of the group, said the volunteers are serious about their commitment to the organization. “For other groups it's only a hobby, but members here have a respect for the traditions of the group," he said. Gregory also stressed that the group is not sectional. although the volunteers represent members of the Confederate militia. In fact, many of the volunteers are from the North. Throughout the year, the Liberty Hall Volunteers participate in a variety of activities. Each year they march in several parades in the area and hold a service commemorating the armiversary of Lee’s death.

Although there are no planned activities scheduled for Thursday, Hickam said the Health Education Committee has asked..all .professors to “give a little spiel on alcohol By Merrill Watson awareness" during classes. The final activity is a Battle of the Bands at the Pavilion. Campus bands will compete for a $5(X) first place prize and a $250 second place pnze. “We're going to judge the bands on the yelling and applause of the crowd. So hopefully the bands will bring all their friends to clap for them," Hickam said. The committee is also conducting a survey, ' “We’re trying to become aware of what alcohol problems there are on campus,” Hickam said. “The display areas will have information about alcohol and drinking laws that people can pick up." “It’s very hard to educate people on campus about alcohol and its effects," said Hickam. “We're trying to do it in a fun way." particularly exciting now as most battles are celebrating their 125th anniversary. ‘ The Liberty Hall Volunteers attended three battles last year. Members buy authentically designed shirts and hats to participate, and the Executive Committee allots nine hundred dollars to the group to purchase additional authentically- styled equipment, Last year several of the volunteers participated in the 125th armiversary of the battle of New Market with several VMI cadets. A movie was made on the scene, and that film will be a permanent part of the exhibit in the Hall of Valor at New Market. This morning at 9:30 the bells of Lee Chapel tolled nineteen times to mark’ the time of Lee’s death. At noon, the volunteers marched from Washington Hall to Lee Chapel for the memorial service. Capt. Robert Peniston, the chapel curator, made opening remarks. Afterwards, Prof. Taylor Sanders gave a speech on Lee's life, followed by a reading of the death scene from a Lee biography. Next, Lee’s favorite hynm, “How Firm a Foundation,” was played. The service ended with I a recession from the chapel. BUDGET from page 1 tions that are allocated funds by the EC for the 1988-89 fiscal year is $32,000. The previous year showed a surplus of $20,000, according to Assistant Controller Don Holt. All surplus money at the end of the fiscal year is placed into a stu- dent reserve fund. Because the money to pay for last year's deficit came from the reserve fund, the fund was depleted to $l,(X)0. University President John Wilson granted the EC a one-time gift of $15,0()0 this year to help the student organizations with their finances.

Homecoming win puts Generals on track for best season in — By Jay Plotkin Sports Editor People say that everything runs in cycles. If that is true, Washington and Lee football faithful hope that the cycle is true every five years. It was five years ago when W&L won it’s last Homecoming football game, ironically against Maryville. In that game, W&L played a rather slow first half before exploding for 35 second half points on the way to a 42-17 win. The next week, W&L played at Hampden-Sydney for the Tiger's Homecoming game, in which the Generals prevailed 32-20. Next week, the Generals will travel to Harnpden-Sydney. Is this the second coming of 1985? “I hope that 1985 turns into 1989,” said W&L head coach Gary Fallon. “It’s nice to talk about, but it’s got to be done in the present. Our main concern is to stop them from doing what they do and for us to do what we do, and to come home with a victory. That’s what we’re going over there for.” On Saturday, the Generals played a relatively uneventful first half, cautiously cruising out to a 10- 3 halftime lead. The Generals received the opening kickoff before the Homecoming crowd of 5,005, and junior kick returrier/slot back Carl Gilbert almost gave the crowd a lot to cheer about early. After fielding the kick off the ground, Gilbert disappeared into a crowd, and then appeared up the far sideline, and was knocked out of bounds at the W&L 49-yard line after a 29-yard retum. - From there, junior tailback Mason Pope went to work. Three straight carries got the Generals a first down, most of the yards coming on second effort. Pope then caught a pass from senior quarterback Phillip Sampson for a gain of 14 more. After two more rims netted the junior 14 yards, the Generals were on the Maryville 15-yard line. Senior Scott Jackson took an inside handoff from Sampson and got down to the six, where Pope proceeded to barrel through the left side into the end zone for a 7-0 W&L lead. After Maryville was forced to punt on its next drive, Sampson made his only mistake of the game. On second down from the W&L 34, he tried to throw a middle screen, but Maryville nose guard Jess Massengill intercepted the W&L signal caller. It was only Sampson’s second interception of the year. The Scots kept the ball on the ground, and their drive stalled when fullback Zack Blanton was stopped on third down at the W&L six. Maryville settled for a 23-yard field goal from Scott Porter to make the score 7-3 at the end of the first quarter. ' When the Generals initial drive of the second stanza stalled and Pope had to punt, Maryville returned Sampson’s early gift. On, their first play, in almost the exact place on the field as Sampson<’s interception, tailback Keith Washington fumbled going into the line when he was hit by senior linebacker Mike Pack, and sophomore nose guard Greg Kiehl recovered for W&L. Sampson worked the Generals down to the Maryville eight,_ and Pope got five yards to the three. Then head coach Gary -Fallon reached into his bag of tricks for the halfback pass, Gilbert corralled Pope's pass just out of the back of the end zone. Pope lost a yard on third down, and Quayle was called WALSH from page 1 Said W&L interim athletic direc- tor Richard Miller, “I think [Walsh’s] basic experience in a situ- ation similar. to ours at Dartmouth, even though Dartmouth is Division I-A, is not so far removed from what we are dealing with here. That, I think, is the greatest thing he brings to us.” As baseball coach, Wals is credited with turning the program at Dartmouth around. In 1981 Walsh took over a losing team, and in 1987 led the Big Green to a 24-14 record, the Ivy League title and the No. 1 ranking in New England and a spot in the NCAA Division I baseball championships. Walsh, a member of the NCAA Division I Baseball steering comrnit— tee, was a finalist for national Divi- sion I Coach-of-the-Year honors in 1987. He was named the 1987 Northeast and New England Coach- of-the-Year. Walsh currently serves on the Executive board of the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Coaches Association. Walsh graduated from the Uni- versity of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1971. He attended Albany Law School from 1971 to 1972 and has done graduate work in sports _j C.E. Hardy Jeweler 35 S. Main Street 463-4121 administration at his alma mater in 1975. Before coming to Dartmouth, Walsh served as head baseball and basketball coach and admissions and financial aid officer for the North- field Mount Hermon School, the nation's largest co-educational inde- pendent school. Said Wilson, “Michael is gentle- man from a fine family with high values. He has good character and will be a positive influence on all of our lives.” Walsh's first duty at W&L will be to name the new head men‘s la- crosse coach. On the lacrosse program, Walsh said, “Things tend to go in cycles, and lacrosse is not quite up where we would like them to be. Our goal is to get the program back up to par.” Said Walsh, “W&L is a highly competitive, well-rounded university with a proper balance between ath- letics and academics. This is Divi- sion III, and I'm comfortable with the situation. It is similar to Dart- mouth, and each school has it’s unique problems.

The play was good for 80 yards and the Generals defeated Maryville 26-10. W&L file photo by W. Patrick Hinely. Sampson dropped back and looked down the left sideline for junior split end Craig Irons. Irons made a leaping catch as two Maryvill: defenders collided and fell down at the W&L 40. Irons had clear sailing down the sideline for what would have been a 91-yard touchdown, but he stumbled at the Maryville 20 and was pushed out of bounds at the 10. The 80- yard completion brought the crowd to its feet, and put life into relatively complacent W&L team. The drive stalled as Sampson was sacked, and the Generals settled for Quaylc’s second field goal of the day, from 32 yards out to take a 13-3 lead. The rest of the third‘ quarter was uneventful, and W&L had to punt as their first drive of the final period stalled at their own 34. . The Scots took over on their own 42 with backup quarterback Mike Wimpee, a passing specialist in the game. On his first'pass, he was incomplete. On his second pass, he was complete, but to the wrong team. Junior safety Brad Miller read the pass and picked it off at the 42 in front of the Scots’ bench. Miller ran unrnolested down the sideline to the five, ran over three Scots would-be-tacklers into the end zone for the touchdown and a 20-3 lead. It was Miller’s second interception of the year. Miller’s retum broke the game open, for on W&L’s next possession, against what looked like a beaten Maryville team, Sampson set yet another record. On second down from the Maryville 28, Sampson faked a handoff to Crosby and found a wide open Irons for a touchdown. It was the senior’s 28th career touchdown pass, breaking the old record held by Jack Berry. Quaylc’s kick was no good, and the Generals led 26-3. The Generals defense, which had played very well, gave up a token touchdown late in the game making the final score 26-10. Pack led the defense with 15 tackles. Miller made 14 tackles, three for losses. Kiehl had eight tackles and a sack, .§. years A and the defensive bookends of sophomores John McCallum afid Scott Williamson each had fiye tackles and a sack.

In every game he has played this season, Washington and Lee senior quarterback Phillip I Sampson has either tied or broken a W&L school record or passed a career milestone. For his accomplishments, Sampson has been named The Ring-tum Phi Athlete-of-the-Month for September. In W&L’s first game, Sampson shattered the record for passes’ completed in one game, previously held by Jon Thornton at 24. Sampson finished the day with 34 completions. In game two Sampson threw four touchdown passes to tie the .record held by Thornton, Steve Fluharty, and Jack Berry. 4 Against Centre in the season’s - third week, no records fell, but on his first completion, Sampson , went over the 3,0()0-yard passing ;. marker for his career. ‘ In week four, Sampson’s 311 . yards passing broke the record ‘ for passing yardage in a single ,1. game fell, previously held by Fluharty, and last week, against Maryville, Sampson took over , the lead in touchdown passes for a career with 28. Berry held the old mark of 27. i For the season, Sampson has a remarkable 89 completions in 131 attempts with just two interceptions for 1,057 yards and 10 touchdowns. His passing efficiency rating is an astounding ;._ 157.8, good enough to place him third in the nation. An average i ATHLETE-OF-THE-MONTH efficiency rating is 100. On his current pace, Sampson could break every W&L record a quarterback could hold except passing attempts. Upon returning to school this fall, Sampson had an idea of how close he was to some of the records, but “during the games, though, none of us think about what kinds of records we may be breaking or what kind of f e a t s w e m a y b e accomplishing.” What makes Sampson's season even more remarkable was that he spent the summer in London. “I was able to throw the ball some, but there weren’t really any good weight rooms where I could work out.” Sampson is also quick to point out that he could not put up the numbers he has this year llllp Sampson i tion. W fil p by . ea . Patrick Hinely. without help from some rather large friends. “People always say that the offensive line doesn't get any credit, but our offensive line has really played out of its head this year. We lost a couple of really good offensive linemen last year, and this year we didn't know where we would stand, but these guys are just playing great. “It's the same with Russ. He’s hardly carried the ball this year, but he's just a part of any record the team might set as anyone is.“ The offensive line consists of senior Rich Poli, juniors Rob Christensen, MIke DeMelfi, Rob Robertson, and Frank Sudell and sophomores Jim Henry and Rob Thomas. Aside from being the Generals starting quznterback in Sampson rewriting recor book the fall, Sampson is also an Old Dominion Athletic Conference Pole Vault champion on the track team. On the field, the 6-2, 195- pound senior out of St. John’s High School in Houston, Texas is having an All-American season. Off the field, Sampson would just as soon spend a quiet day out in the country with some friends as anything else. “I like to spend time out in the country at some of my friends country houses. I have a bike that I enjoy riding. I like hanging out at the fraternity house. I’m just a regular old guy,” said Sampson. After graduation, Sampson is unsure of what he plans on doing. “I’m thinking about getting a job back in Houston,” said Sampson. “But if I can’.t find the kind of job I want this Christmas, then I’ll probably end up going to law school.” Sampson said his career here at W&L both on and off the field has had many memorable moments, and he has had his share of the good and the bad. “I can think of some pretty memorable bad things that have happened to me, but I’ve had tons of great things happen as well, things that have meant a lot to me. One thing that will always stand out for me was our game at Bridgewater last year. It was a huge win, and I think everyone who was on that football team will remember that forever.” Congratulations to Phillip Sampson, The Ring-tum Phi’s Athlete-of-the-Month for September. 6 A By John Laney 4 Staff Reporter , It has been the long and winding road that has hurt the Washington ' and Lee men‘s soccer team. ,, The Generals proved how tough .they are at home when they {entertained the best team in the v South Region last Saturday. , On Saturday, the Mary ‘.Washington soccer machine rolled “into Lexington with a 9-1 record. The Eagles were ranked seventh in 4 the Division HI national polls, No. '1 in the South Region, and had won -eight straight games. In their past 9,13 home games, the Eagles had not been scored upon. On the road in Lexington was a “different story, though. The Generals ‘fare unbeaten on the Liberty Hall “Field, and freshman Mike Mitchem jggnade it evident early on that W&L {would not be intimidated. Mitchem scored early in the first "_half to give W&L a 1-0 lead which _';held until late in the game. Junior pylon Bull again had a tremendous game, keeping the Eagles off the "board until late in the game. Mary Washington evened the score near the end of the match with a ‘penalty kick. With ten minutes gone in the game, the Generals were scrambling for the ball in front of the Eagles’ net. A lot of bodies hit the ground, and while the Mary Washington players screamed for a dangerous play, Mitchem poked the ball into the goal. W&L nearly increased its slim lead at 17:56 of the first half when sophomore Jeff Zieger clanked the ball off the right post with a shot from the right wing. Although Mary Washington had just one shot on goal in the first half, they kept Bull busy in the second half. With constant offensive pressure, the Eagles got off a point- blank shot, and sent several headers just over the crossbar. 8 W&L’s defense refused to fold, nd it appeared that the Generals were about to pick up their fourth straight victory. However, with 15:10 remaining Zieger drew a whistle for tripping at the top left edge of the penalty box.

The Eagles then tied the score as their penalty shot to the right side beat a diving Bullf For the next 15 minutes the game seemed destined to head into overtime as neither team mounted a serious offensive threat. Then, with just under 10 seconds remaining in the match, it looked as though Mary Washington would emerge with the win. An Eagle forward behind the Generals’ snuck in defense and broke away with ball down the left side. With the game clock running out, he launched a shot. Bull dove to his right, deflected the ball, and turned to watch it roll wide past the right post to send the game into overtime. In the first overtime, Bull prevented a loss for the Generals again by snuffing another one-on- one breakaway at 11:20. ,W&L’s best scoring chance in overtime came in the second period when the Generals let loose a flurry of shots after the Eagles could not giThere’s no place like Liberty Hall clear the ball from their backfield. Head coach Rolf Piranian was not quite satisfied with holding Mary Washington to a tie. “I felt like we could have and should have won,” he said. “In the second half we got tired, didn't play very smart and lost our composure.” The Generals, who have yet to win a game away from Liberty Hall Field, took to the field Wednesday for an Old Dominion Athletic Conference game with Lynchburg. Said Piranian, “This is our biggest week of the season," Piranian said. “We haven’t proven ourselves on the road this season.” The Generals continued to be jinxed on the road, as Lynchburg ended the Generals’ unbeaten streak at four with a 3-0 win. On the season, the Generals are 4-5-1, 2-1 in the ODAC. The Generals are 4-0-1 at home and winless in five tries on the road. W&L will get another chance to right its road woes with a conference game at Virginia Wesleyan Saturday. .::: :: 2: 2: :: W&L sports in the Phi GOLDEN CORRAL.

In journalism Prof. John K. Jennings‘ family, that expression is more than just a phrase —- it truly applies. For three generations, Jennings men have walked down the colonnade as students of Washington and Lee. During a Homecoming luncheon Saturday, Jennings, his father and his son talked about life at W&L. Prof. Jennings’ 83—year-old father, Matt Jennings, of Fayetteville, Tenn., is more robust than his wiry son. His gruff voice and expressive eyes say he's a no nonsense man. He is a little hard of hearing; Prof. Jennings repeated many of the questions the reporter asked. “I went to Washington and Lee some years ago,” Matt Jennings said. “I graduated in 1927. My brother James and I both did. Of course he was older. He's 86 now. "I wanted to breed Jersey cattle," the senior Jennings recalled, “but my father wanted me to go to school and study something else. I went, to please him. And when I got out, I bred Jersey cattle.” The elder Jennings said he majored in history, ‘math and geology — "and girls.” “I'm glad it went co—ed,” he said. “It’s really much more convenient. We use to have to go all the way to Randolph-Macon.” Jennings’ said he didn't meet his wife at college. “Nope, I got her at home in Tennessee,” he sniffed. “When I was here," Matt Jennings said, “I didn't have time to do much besides study. I wrestled some, but I needed my extra time to study. It was difficult getting through.” The oldest Jennings said he did not put pressure on his son to come to W&L but strongly suggested it. Prof. Jennings, however, had interests different from his father’s. "I wanted to be a journalist, so that was my major,” said Jemiings, who graduated from Washington and Lee in 1956. Generational Jennings. From Left, Matt Jennings, '27, John Jennings, '56, and Matthew Jennings, As a student, said Jennings, his extra—curricular activities included The Ring-tum Phi and WREL, the local radio station. "We dir.Ln.’t have a radio station on campus at that time,” he said. He met his wife Julie during graduate school at Stanford. Unlike his father, Prof. Jennings stuck pretty close to his major when he graduated. He went to WDBJ-TV in Roanoke after graduation and in 1959 came back to W&L to teach. As for co-education, Prof. Jennings said, “I'm glad the women came, too. I was all for it from the beginning. It improved the facilities, and everything looks better.” ‘ “You lcnow, there wasn't a footbridge when I was here either,” the eldest Jennings said. “I don’t know if that was before the women or not. But, we use to have to wade across the bottom.” The senior Jennings said he did not spend all of his working years raising Jersey cattle. He spent 32 years of his life with the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. “I was president of the National Practice up for IM Billiards Midnight Madness 11:30 p.m. - 2 a.m. Fridays Music, games and prizes Come see. .. our new bar and lounge with an extended menu, billiards and darts!

Now, that was a big day. The mayor and governor even turned out for that one.” Jennings retired in 1973. “What do I do now?” asked. “N0thin’l I believe the phrase is retired. And, I am fully that.” Prof. Jennings, 55, is his parents’ only child. "He was a good boy, a fine sort,” his father said. “Not a moment’s trouble.” Prof. Jennings smiled, embarrassed, and looked away. Prof. Jennings son, Matthew, a freshman at W&L, has, a sister Sarah, who is a freshman at Lexington High School. “I like Washington and Lee and decided to come here," Matthew Jennings said. “My dad didn't try ’93. Matt Jennings returned to Lexington for this year’s Homecoming weekend. File photo. to make me come or anything; i just wanted to. I don’t think his being a professor at the same school I attend is really a big deal. I just don’t think about it. “I'm majoring in journalism, also, and I have a morning radio show,” he said. “I plan to try out for basketball, too.” “Professor de Maria is his adviser,” Matthew’s father said. “I don’t think there's really a chance I'll get him in one of my classes. By the time he has to take my journalism law course, I hope to be on a sabbatical.” Matthew’s grandfather said he keeps in touch with his son and grandson through phone calls and visits. “We talk to them about once a month," he said. I “And they'll visit about twice a year or we'll go down," Prof. Jennings added. “I have to know everythin that's going on with W&L,’ sai the eldest Jennings. “I have to keep up, and John’s a pretty good source." 130 S.
