Lost in the Supermarket won Friday night’s battle of the bands. Soul Kitchen placed second. Those two bands led off Saturday night’s program, followed by the WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY Motown band Black and Blue and the head- lining band Let’s Active. Superdance Co—chairrnan Christie Charnp- lin said the $30,000 goal for Superdance this year was met even though contributions fell just short of last year’s mark. According to Charnplin, most of the money has already been collected, but some of it is in pledges. She said she hopes every- one“ will follow through and contribute what was promised. “Friday night went really well — it was a great time. Saturday, though, I think the weather hurt us in terms of attendance, but it was still fun,” Charnplin said. Charnplin, along with Co-chairman Allen Richardson, Vice—chairman Matt Wherry, and Faculty Advisor Fontanne Bostic, led a com- mittee of 40 that started planning the event back in November. most of any single dancer. The Student Activities Board was the largest organizational contributor and Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Kappa Alpha Theta led the fraternities and sororities in contributions. the majority of the revenue. It was great to see so many houses close to 100 percent participation. And even though it was difficult because it was close to rush, it was great to see the sororities participating,” Charnplin John Suttle, a freshman, raised $200, the “Fraternity support once again provided said, adding that the law school showed good participation as well. The prize trip to the Bahamas was not given out because no single participant raised the $250 dollars required to claim this prize. However, a number of other weekend trips for two were given to the top money makers. Suttle won a trip to the Williarnsburg Hilton, and the Law School's top contributor, Beth Benston, won a trip to Balcony Downs. The SAB was given a weekend at the Dupont Plaza in Washington, D.C. Sigma Alpha Epsilon received a weekend at the Greenbriar and Kappa Alpha Theta won a night and brunch at the Belle Grae Inn in Staunton.

Elementary School students a view of it all from behind hi on two By Genlenne Mongno Associate Editor FEBRUARY 8, 1990 Superdance 1990 earns $30,000 for ‘Jerry’s Kids’ This is the second year that the Super- dance has used the two-night format. Pre- viously, the dancers had been required to start dancing on Saturday morning and continue, with intermittent breaks, all day and into the evening. Champlin said she thinks the new format has worked out very well. “The hardest thing to work out is the bands. We really have to start looking in November, but no band wants to sign a contract in November for a February concert date,” she said. She said there were no last minute sur- prises and that the Superdance staff worked very well together to get everything done.

Bowen said at a preliminary hearing on Jan. 30 that he believed Comerwas travelling west on Washington Street in the eastbound lane when he hit Scarborough. Bowen said the location of evidence found at the scene supported his conclusion. Comer’s attorney Thomas Spencer said a judge would set a trial date on May 7. Master Plan supported at public hearing By Andrew Waters Staff Reporter ‘ Washington and Lee’s Master Plan received praise from most of the people who turned out for last Thursday's public hearing, but a few residents asked for assurance that the city's tax base would not shrink. Sixteen people gave short presentations before the Lexington Planning Commission; 13 spoke in favor of the Master Plan while three either opposed the proposal or questioned parts of it. Part the Master Plan proposes to expand the city's institutional zoning district to include fraternity houses the university plans to acquire through the Fraternity Renaissance Program. Some citizens were concerned that Lexington’s tax base would shrink as a result because W&L would not have ‘to pay taxes for the property. Jack Page, a Virginia Military Institute professor and Lexington resident, said he wanted assurance that the university will pay taxes. “I would like to see all property within the city limits pay assessed rates as determined by the city and have open appeals thereof." W&L’s Coordinator for Capital Planning Frank Parsons said the university would give donations to the city in lieu of taxes. The donation would be an “escalating thing,” he said. “As assessments go up, donations go up. The city is losing nothing from this," he said. W&L and VMI currently give the city donations in lieu of taxes on a voluntary basis. Because W&L, VMI and churches are exempt from paying city taxes, more than 50 percent of the land in Lexington is tax free — - a greater proportion of tax free land than in another city in Virginia. Consequently, Lexington residents pay more taxes than any other citizens in Virginia, said Mary Gentry, chairwoman of the Planning Commission. “The Planning Commission is aware that 10 years from now the same people will not be on the [W&L] Board of Trustees nor on the Plan- ning Commission," Gentry said, “so something must be put into writing’ to. insure adequate donations in the future. Leroy C. “Buddy” Atkins, associate dean of students, told the commission that the Fraternity Renaissance Program represents a potential for increased income to the city. Fourteen new jobs will be created, he said, because each fraternity will have to hire a resident manager. ‘ Former Plarming Commission chairman Henry Ravenhorst said the city should go ahead and approve the expansion of the institutional district according to the outline in W&Ls Master Plan. Ravenhorst, who was on the planning cornmission-when the institutional district was established in 1985, said fraternities were not originally included as part of the district be- cause the university did not own them at that time. “It would seem to me that fraternities being an adjunct of the university that they could be included as a permitted use as opposed to a conditimal use,” Ravenhorst said. If the city agrees to include fraternities in the institutional district, the university can have changes approved on a system-wide basis rather than go through the process of applying for a conditional use permit for each house. Members of the Planning Commission expressed concerns earlier, however, that the city would relinquish the ability to review proposed changes in the future if it allowed the expansion. D Please see PLAN page 5 Semester—|ong probation ends early for Phi Delt By Chuck Broll Staff Reporter Phi Delta Theta was taken off probationary status last Thursday afternoon by the Student Affairs Committee upon recommendations from the Interfratemity Council and the chapter's House Corporation, Phi Delt Chapter President Warren Hol- land said. Associate Dean of Students Leroy C. “Buddy” Atkins said “under conditions of unusual progress” and with approval of the chapter’s House Corporation, the probation was lifted Trustees By Blair Simmons Staff Reporter Undergraduate tuition will be raised from $10,100 to $10,850 for the 1990-91 academic year, an- nounced Washington and Lee Presi- dent John D. Wilson. The Board of Trustees decided to increase the average cost of room, board and tuition by 7.3% to keep up with inflation in the cost of books and periodicals, computer software and faculty and administration travel, said Wilson. « The average cost will jump from an average of $13,602 to an average of $14,595. “I was hoping to keep it under 7% but I couldn't, doing all the other things we wanted to do,” Wilson said. W&L costs less to attend than sooner than expected. According to the Sept. 7 issue of The Ring-tum Phi, Atkins placed Phi Delt on probation on Aug. 22 for failing to comply with the univer- sity’s Standards for Fraternities at Washington and Lee. According to University Proctor Charles Murray, damage to the Phi Delt house last spring term included broken ceiling fans, removed or par- tially removed light fixtures, kicked-in doors and broken windows on the second and third floors. Beer cans and other trash were also left over the summer, Murray said. In a letter sent to Holland, Atkins approve comparable private schools in the Southeast, said Wilson, with the ex- ception of Hampden-Sydney. The next lowest tuition rate is $10,867, at Davidson College. The most expensive school in the area is Georgetown University, cost- ing $13,250 for the 1989-90 academic year. W&L Law School tuition will go up from $10,300 to $11,200, staying below tuitions at comparable private schools in the region, said Wilson. Executive Committee President Willard Dumas said he told the Board that law school students may be presenting a petition requesting a referendum to determine whether or not there should be separate honor systems for the law and the under- graduate schools. “If members of the law school request a referendum, we would do said the house was left “just general- ly trashed” at the end of the spring term. Atkins said it was the second consecutive year the fraternity was found in “unacceptable” condition and in violation of the Standards. The letter placed several restric- tions on the chapter to be completed by the beginning of the coming spr- ing term. These included limiting the number of pledges to 15, prohibiting weeknight parties, and limiting other parties to four per month with only two occurring at the Phi Delt house. According to Atkins, the house was also required to raise its Grade Point Average one place per term in the rankings of fraternities. In addition, Atkins said, the frater- nity was required to “develop and implement an ongoing service project to benefit the community, the college or the Greek system.” , “The chapter must improve its relationship and cooperation with other Greek organizations on campus and substantially improve its reputa- tion,” he said. Other restrictions, which were to have been completed by Oct. 1, required that the -house take appro- priate intemal disciplinary measures, assist the House Corporation in com- pleting the necessary repairs, and tuition increase that,” said Dumas after speaking with the Board. “However, the Board reminded me that they have final authority on all matters of the Honor System.” The Board of Trustees approved the creation of a new position in the Journalism and Economics Depart- ments, two new positions at the law school and the accommodation of Dean Lewis John's move to the Poli- tics Department in an effort to en- rich the student-faculty ratio, Wilson said. The Board also decided to hire a staff member for the Computer Cen- ter in Tucker Hall, a manager for the Lenfest Center and Building and Grounds help for the Lenfest Center and the Fraternity Renovation pro- jects. Thirteen million dollars worth of bonds have been sent to the bond market to raise capital, said Wilson. The Board plans to use that money to upgrade the Prime computer system and to go forward this summer with the Fraternity Renaissance program. Work on the addition to Lewis Hall, to accommodate the papers of Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell, is scheduled to begin as soon after Commencement as possible, in hopes that it will closed up by September, said Wilson. The Board also approved progress on the Lenfest Center but moved the projected completion date to the end of September, said Wilson. The Board is planning a special meeting on April 5-6 to discuss long- range plans and goals, such as a, science building annex, a student center and improved athletic facilities for men and women under the stands at Wilson field, Wilson said. identify the members responsible for the damage to the house. Holland said representatives of his fraternity first met with Atkins on Sept. 6 in a failed attempt to get Atkins to rescind some parts of the probation. Holland officially applied for the termination of the probation- ary status in a Jan. 30 letter to the IFC Judicial Board. In the letter, Holland said Phi Delt had “fulfilled all of the objectives and stipulations of the probation.” According to Holland, the house limited its pledges to 15, complied 0 Please see PHI DELT page 5 Ne trustees If convicted, Comer could be sentenced to up to five years in prison for t-and-rtm andten years for involuntary manslaughter. W&L buys old house from ZBT By Chuck Broll Staff Reporter Goodloe Lewis defeated Les Lewis for the position of 1990-91 lnterfratemity Council president and Associate Dean of Students Leroy C. “Buddy” Atkins said the university and Zeta Beta Tau have agreed on a price for the purchase of the ZBT house, at Tuesday night’s IFC meet- ing. Lewis will serve as president beginning spring term, along with Vice President-elect Mike Skarda, Secretary-elect Jonathan Symonds, Treasurer-elect Foster Bowman, Se- nior Justice-elect Eric Mutz and Ju- nior Justices-elect Rob Rambo and Greg Hicks. Atkins gave no specific price regarding the purchase of the ZBT house because the agreement is only a verbal one and contracts have not yet been signed, he said. Atkins did say, however, that the final price was more than the univer- sity wanted to pay, but less than ZBT national originally asked. The house will probably be the future home of Kappa Sigma, but it may also be used to house various fraternity students during the Fratemi~ ty Renaissance, Atkins said.

OCR::/Vol_089/WLURG39_RTP_19900208/WLURG39_RTP_19900208_002.2.txt OPINION ‘Only one rule’ Friday in the Moot Court Room of Washington and Lec’s Law School, first-year law student Mitch Neurock laid out what he and several law students are calling “Proposition L.” These proposed amendments to the White Book would allow the Law School to set up its own honor council and to conduct its own open hearings. While Neurock’s‘ ideas have some merit, we cannot support them. As two law students pointed out on this page last week, the Honor System is an important bridge between the Law School and the undergraduate program. But it is not simply a means to unity. The Honor System is perhaps the most integral part of this university; it should be the greatest lesson we take from this place. Neurock’s proposal does not take this into account. For example, he suggests that, because expulsion could cost a law student his career, only law students should judge law students. He implies that a law-only jury would be less likely to convict one of their colleagues than a jury that includes undergraduates, because law students understand what’s at stake. Neurock wants us to ask, “Is the punishment appropriate to the crime?” The willingness of any student to ask such a question reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the Honor System. Because our community is based on a premise of trust, violation of that trust necessarily means the offender must leave W&L. Whether an act “merits” expulsion is irrelevant. That is why the EC and juries are asked only to determine guilt; once guilt is found, the case is decided. To understand the White Book is to understand that expulsion is the only possible response to an honor violation, because a violator of our trust cannot possibly remain a member of our community. Also, Neurock claims undergraduates must ask too many questions to understand how the Law School works; he says curricular differences make undergraduates poor judges of honor in the Law School. The implication is that the definition of what is honorable varies according to where one is in relation to Woods Creek. This treats honor as a set of calibrations rather than a concept, as a technical standard rather than a shared ideal. The Honor System is very simple. If a student does not violate our trust, he is trusted. That trust crosses all lines of color, age, sex _— and school. To divide the Honor System is to divide that trust, to compartmentalize honor. That undergraduates and law students do not meet often is unfortunate, but it reflects the natural inclination for people to seek as friends those with whom they have much in common. All W&L stu- dents are nevertheless bound by a commitment to honor. To separate the means of enforcement necessarily would endanger that concept and jeopardize essential aspects of the Honor System, such as the single sanction, the ab- sence of rigid definition and the contributions students make to the Honor System campus-wide. « , There are other reasons to oppose Neurock’s plan. Under his proposals, the diminished candidate and jury pools would make holding impartial hearings all but im- possible. Also, law students would still help elect the undergraduate schools’ chief Honor System custodians, because of the EC’s governmental duties, but those offi- cers would have honor authority over undergraduates only. This distinction would discourage law students from run- ning for Big Three offices and would further deprive undergraduates of contact with law students, and law students of contact with undergraduates. We can all benefit from the Honor System by studying it and making its ideals our own, and the system can benefit from us if we work to preserve and improve what has been given to us. Indeed, that mutual nurturing may be W&L’s greatest mission and its greatest asset. For those reasons, we applaud Neurock’s efforts. But his ideas would undermine the system, not improve it. The response to his suggestions must be a resounding no. Quote of the week We are winning the. war on drugs! —— D.C. Mayor Marion Barry. As National Review observed, that’s the The Rlng-tum Phl, February 8, 1990 Who saved The SAB did OUR VIEW lllllil '7DT0xImsfng 8 The EC did “\‘~§\\*~ - "t f: E \ //V4, 4;,//' ’ . / the SAB. -.2 \ OUR VIEW EDITOR'S NOTE: This ‘Our View’ was submitted by SAB Chairman Charles Conklin, Vice Chairman Stewart Hammond, Entertainment Director Michael Applebaum, Fancy Dress Chairman Alex Hitz, Fancy Dress Auditor John‘ Hamilton, and Publicity Director Schuyler Rideout. It has come to our attention that one of the candidates for president of the Executive Committee, Willard Dumas, intends to take autonomous credit for the Student Activities Board’s ten thousand dollar surplus from the fall. Subsequently, Dumas plans to use the fact that the SAB has succeeded in providing a variety of excellent entertainment without significant loss as a premise for his campaign. Actually, this premise warrants clarification. Although the EC as a whole did implement effective and sensible structural guidelines for the SAB earlier this year, it is indeed the SAB, itself, that is responsible for -the success of carnpus-wide entertainment at a minimum net cost. This is not something that has been easily achieved; it .has required painstaking organization, communication, research, and teamwork on the part of the SAB. As an example, the first event this year, a concert by the Truly Dangerous Swamp Band, sponsored by the SAB, earned a net income in excess of eight times the combined revenue of all SAB-sponsored events from last year. Certainly a member of the EC who does not sit on the SAB or even attend the majority of SAB sponsored events can not be considered responsible for the success of the SAB this year. Through careful planning, the SAB planned to provide eight events at a net cost of $13,000. However, because of the SAB’s hard work, the net cost of all these events was only $3,000. While we appreciate the EC’s preliminary efforts, it is the SAB that executed and expanded the new policies. We and not the EC were responsible for the major and minor decisions that saved the $10,000 of the projected budget. And we believe that if anyone has the right, or feels the need to take credit for this action, it should be the SAB, and not a candidate for the president of the EC. . 54., EDITOR'S NOTE: This ‘Our View’ was submitted by SAB Treasurer Katie’ Duwel, SAB Law School Publicity Chairman Martika Parson and Operatiom Director Ann Gregory. - ‘ i ., The changes that spurred the current success of the Student‘Activities Board’ can be largely attributed to the Executive Committee and its leadership by. President Willard Dumas. Last year's board mismanaged its allocation, and al $20,000 deficit fell on this year’s EC. Change was a necessity. I The EC insisted in the fall of 1989 that the SAB improve both structure and organization to prevent further financial disaster. Vice President Jon,‘ Sheinberg “beseeched” SAB chairman Charles Conklin to take charge and straighten out the SAB. President Dumas insisted that votes be taken, minutes‘ be kept and meetings be held at regular times and in the EC Room. These, demands were met, as were many others, by the entire SAB. Each member stopped using charge accounts and became accountable for the responsibili-‘V’ ties of his office. The changes were time-consurning but well worth it. yl Each student pays a yearly activity fee with his tuition, and a large portion of that fee is allocated by the EC to the SAB. The money assigned to the SAB is to be used solely for entertaining the student body. The SAB is. accountable to the EC and, ultimately, to every student. Many financial updates are given to the EC and to students through The Ring-tum Phi. w . Because our fall budget was extremely conservative and the books were, watched carefully, the SAB has $10,000 more this term than we'd planned on." This money, too, will be spent wisely and diversely to entertain as many; interests as possible. For this, much thanks is owed to both the EC and the SAB for wise judgement and planning. . Although the SAB is a subcommittee of the EC, its purpose is not political, We praise those leaders who have committed themselves to protecting the rights and interests of the student body. The actions of the EC this year have forced the SAB to reevaluate ineffective policies. These changes were effected through the hard work and leadership demonstrated by the EC. This is a year of transition for the SAB. Through the guidance of leaders like Dumas, and our willingness to cooperate with the EC, success is inevitable for the SAB. ’ problem — his side is winning.

Kull’s letter to the editor concerning this year’s Gentlernen’s “Buffet” (this year, the meal was served) is unfair, but not unprovoked. I have attended the “ Buffet” since its inception four years ago. This year is the first time that I have seen any of the guests misbehave. The “Buffet” was founded by some class- mates of mine for the purpose of celebrating the South. Even this year, the majority of the guests discussed history (military and other-wise), constitutional law (particularly the erosion of states’ rights), and southern culture. The embar- rassing episode in which certain guests harassed the waiters was not representative of the eve- ning’s events. The song to which Mr. Kull referred, “Lin- coln killed the Constitution,” written by Mark- ham S. Pyle (W&L '84, ’88L), more accurately reflects the thinking of the original guests of the “Buffet" in its third verse: The sovereignty of states is something that is now all gone...The Tenth amendment fades away like stars before the dawn...The federal undertak- ers tore up Arlington's fair lawn...’Cause the Constitution’s dead..Help me dig up old John Randolph”!-Ielp me dig up old John Randolph... Help me dig up old John Randolph... And hide away his bones. LETTERS The recent events in Eastern Europe have vindicated the concepts of local autonomy and states’ rights, and these are what the “Buffet” celebrates. Four years ago, when the “Buffet” began, about half as many gentlemen attended. The invitations were not as selectively extended this year as a number of the guests were not gentle- men. In fact, after this year's “Buffet," a num- ber of the old timers retired to more tranquil settings and discussed (1) how rude some of the guests had been this year and (2) how the guest list should be prepared with more discrimination so as to include only gentlemen. What was originally an evening of comradery, history, and culture, degenerated into an evening (albeit isolated) of drinking by some guests. General Lee would have disapproved I join Mr. Kull in hoping that it will not be repeated next year. James N. L. Humphreys, '84, ’87L Reader says Phi should censor letters I am writing to you regarding the colurrm “Two Law Students Defend the Unified Honor System" that appeared last week. Having taken issue already with the authors, I now turn to address your publication of the letters. Given that the editors and writers of The Ring-tum Phi represent the next generation of the guardians of American media, you owe it to your readers to uphold the honored privilege of Free Speech. However, given also an audience of well-educated and generally open-minded students, are you required to print, without discrimination, every letter submitted regardless of content? On closer examination, those columns you printed last week appear less concerned . with presenting a counter-argument for your readers to consider than with bashing a student having the brazen audacity to criticize the status quo. What place do the free use of inflammatory expressions as ‘yellow journalism,’ and ‘fear tactics’ have in your paper? Is everyone free to make personal attacks in your editorial columns, such as accus- ing another student of being ‘pompous,’ ‘arro- gant,’ or ‘ludicrous?’ Does The Ring-tum Phi have the journalistic duty to print such thinly- veiled disparagements? While the objective arguments presented by the authors may have been worthy of being aired, the manner in which they presented those argu- ments was hardly as meritorious. Is it enough, then, having printed this written assault, to stand behind the disclaimer, “The views expressed herein are not necessarily...?” Instead of polling the results of the Bud Bowl, why not find out whether your readers want a paper steeped in the standard of journal- ism being set by daytime talk show sensational- ists, or an accurate, objective reporting of what the issues are in the W&L community? Put me down for the latter, please. I already get the Enquirer at Harris-Teeter. J. T.

In this article I have decided to i ’ 4 address those perplexing mysteries of human existence that have frus- trated philosophers since the old ¢ days when mankind was still float- ing around in that post-big bang, evolutionary bowl of clam chow- ’ ; der, and journalists were allowed . ._,A.,--4:-. . . . l to tell careless readers to go back and slowly re-read the first sen- tence of their articles. The first perplexing mystery in- t volves movie theaters, where peo- ple have historically gone to avoid talking to first dates or family members. For some strange reason, a subversive and highly annoying group of people persist in clapping at the end of emotional movies H: such as E.T., in which an ugly, extra-terrestrial creature is inte- grated into American society after proving he can use a telephone and ride a flying bicycle. Do these movie clappers believe that the cast and producers of E.T. are ,5 sitting near them in the theater and ' deserve to be rewarded? Perhaps the clappers are all addicted to an expensive psychedelic drug that is dispensed freely to anyone with the nerve to clap at the end of a movie. Maybe the clappers have been told by Ann Landers or Oprah Winfrey that daily clapping will bring them wealth, love and a new wardrobe. Maybe the movie clappers also clap when they hear a good song on the radio. Maybe we should move on to another per- ‘i plexing mystery. (Readers who Sbar penetrates world mysteries think this is a good idea should now applaud). Perplexing mystery #2: Why is every motel room in the solar system, even those that have vi- brating beds, fumished with at least one Bible? Answer: Back before they in- vented churches, pious families woke up early Sunday, put on their best clothes, checked into a motel room and without hesita- tion, turned on the vibrating beds. Of course, I'm only joking. Motels provide Bibles so patrons have drug-free alternatives to staying up late and watching porn flicks. Perplexlng mystery #3: How come the corporate world has been allowed to take over college foot- ball to such an extent that the Orange Bowl is now referred to as the “Beatrice-Mutual of Omaha- Toyota-Drink Florida Orange (Juice) Bowl?” Answer: I have no idea but let's just thank God that journalism is free from any type of corporate influence (eat Cap’n Crunch Cereal and fly Delta Airlines). Perplexlng mystery #4: What happens to all the gum that people constantly spit out onto the ground? Answer: According to the person who answers the phone at the Bazooka Joe Gum factory, all the old gum pieces bonded togeth- er (literally), teamed up with an indigenous rock faction and lob- bied to gain control of a layer of the earth's crust. Perplexlng mystery #5: What influenced me to write an article that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that I deserve to be locked up in a building with people who express themselves by drooling? Answer: Actually, I had plan- ned to write an award-winning editorial on developments in East- ern Europe when it occurred to me that I keep up with current events by reading novels and, consequent- ly, know nothing about the subject. Honor by an EC alumnus MY VIEW By Christopher deMovellan I enjoyed reading D. Ross Pat- terson's thought-provoking article titled, “R.E. Lee’s ‘Honor’ vs. the Honor System.” It is a treat to see students concerned about the current and future status of the Honor Sys- tern. I do not intend to rebut Mr. Pat- terson because I generally agree with his point of view. I would like to clarify and/or editorialize on some of the comments made, based on my experience with the Executive Com- mittee. We must first define two words which are often used interchange- ably: honorable and honest. Webster’s Dictionary defines honorable as “at- testing to creditable conduct — char- acterized by integrity; guided by a high sense of honor and duty.” Web- ster’s defines honest, “free from fraud or deception.” In layman’s terms, honorable is someone who is morally and ethically upstanding and treats others with respect. Honest is someone who does not lie, cheat, steal or do any other associable act that falls between the cracks of these general examples. It quickly becomes apparent that one can be honest without being honorable, but one cannot be honor- able without being honest. If we can agree on these terms I will continue. It was said last year that we should change the Honor System to “Do not lie, cheat, or steal in Rock- bridge County.” I respect the individ- ual for his/her clarity (but not so much for his/her character). The White Book states that the Honor System is “according to the current student body generation.” That means it is up to each individual to shape the Honor System. It would appear that the current system governs that which is (dis)ho- nest rather than that which is (dis)ho- norable. I hasten to add that this is not written in stone...it is not written anywhere for a very good reason. When the “current student body generation” decides that the Honor System should include acts that are (dis)honorable (beyond dishonest), then the acquaintance rapists, drug offenders, vandals, and those who continue to insist on hazing will be dismissed under the Honor System. The Executive Committee has the ability to do these things today. They probably will not unless you, the student body, emphasize the fact that students, not the EC, control and support the strength and standards of the Honor System. Ross commented on the support of the faculty and administration. I wish to explain that in my experi- ence, the faculty and the admirristra— tion have been 100 percent behind the Honor System. The members of the faculty benefit from the system of mutual trust as well: when a student says she/he was sick, the student can be trusted. There are exceptions, but they are few. President Wilson has assured me that every member of our community is expected to act within these standards, and even faculty members are held accountable. It is important to note, however, that there is a delicate balance be- tween the pursuit of an ideal and the existence of reality. The fact that we actively support one of the strongest honor systems in the country does not eliminate the reality that people lie, cheat, and steal. The faculty and students must balance between the naive and the cynical. Therefore, a gentle reminder that all work is pledged is healthy and may deter temptation. An occasional request for a note from the infirmary does the same thing. If you are telling the truth, be mature enough not to take it personally; the next time you won’t need a note. The Honor System is very impor- tant to all of us. Its strength makes Washington and Lee unique. I thank D. Ross Patterson for his article because the Honor System grows with every tough question and every critical analysis. P.S. It is true that you take the Honor System with you to you post- graduate endeavors. Honor versus the Honor System MY VIEW By Todd Peppers I am writing in response to D. Ross Patterson’s commendable article concerning the disturbing trend in the definition of honor at Washington and Lee. I essentially agreed with most of the points Mr. Patterson raised. The question I want to pose is: are there any students in the Washington and Lee community who agree with him? Do you think that honor goes beyond lying, cheating, and stealing? I_f a W&L student is found guilty of leaving the scene of a fatal accident, then do you consider that action dishonorable? Please remember that the Executive Committee is run by the students of W&L. We select who will sit on the EC, and we — the “student generation” — decide how to define honor. I have difficulty interpreting the mood of our student generation. Are there W&L students who agree that honorable actions exclude harmful actions toward others? If there are students who think it is time to change the definition of honor, then I urge you to act on those feelings. I have talked with a few students about my worries concerning the Honor System Some agree with me, in principle, that actions such as date rape or the selling of hard narcotics do constitute dishonorable behavior. But these students add that the Honor System at W&L couldn’t handle an expanded definition of honor. One professor informed me that the Honor System gives us “three-fourths of a loaf of bread. What you want is to expand the definition of honor and try to get the whole loaf of bread. It just isn't possible,” he said. “The Honor System would be fatally weakened.” I am not satisfied with this conclusion. In a Phi article last September, I raised a fundamental question but failed to get a response. I will ask my question one more time — what do you consider to be the more dishonorable act: the shoplifting of food, lying to a fellow student or date rape? All three acts do occur on this campus. But during my tenure at W&L, and to the best of my knowledge, only the first two acts have gone to honor trial. How can we permanently expel students from school for cheating — forever changing the course of their lives -— while not bringing students before the EC for actions we deem equally reprehensible? As W&L students, we claim to live by Lee’s one rule that “every student must be a gentleman." And I agree with Mr. Patterson that the privilege of being a W&L student “must cause [us] to conform to a higher standard of behavior.” But that doesn’t always happen at General Lee’s college. Honor must go beyond unproctored exarrrs during finals week and unattended watches on library carrels. I came to W&L a passionate supporter of the single-sanction Honor System. I thought honor was not a question of degree, and that the only punishment for a violation should be permanent expulsion. Now I am not so staunch in my convictions. I hear W&L students remark that they regard certain actions utterly devoid of honor, but that the system would be unduly burdened if the EC tried those cases. What they are saying, in essence, is that date rape and cheating are both dishonorable, but one is much easier to prove — therefore honor will be defined by the ability to prosecute a case. This is wrong. I ardently support the single-sanction Honor System if it applies to all actions that are C] Please see PEPPERS page 5 No math, no God, notruth? Absolutely! :MY VIEW jg, By J. Cameron Humphries Among the many activities in which I par- ticipated in my senior year in high school . were the visits to perspective colleges and ' universities. Perhaps my most memorable " visit, the visit to Washington and Lee aside, was a trip to small, northeastern liberal arts school. My parents warned me against the northeast universities — my mother said, r “they just don’t think properly up there." .‘Perhaps this admonition sparked my interest - even more, and I proceeded to visit one of ‘these small schools. Unlike Washington and Lee, this universi- l ty chose only to promote one of their depart- Qments, most appropriately labeled “Anti- ’ Math.” To the best of my knowledge, this .1 was the only university in the world that offered such a program. Basically, this program allowed its students to explore and exploit the fallacies and hidden contradictions of mathematics. A small brochure in the admissions office stated, “We are confident that our Anti-Math program will be the cornerstone of 2lst-century thought.” Im- pressed by their originality, I asked to visit the head of this department. His classroom was surprisingly modest, although it markedly contained no structure. The walls were of uneven height and the ceiling looked as though it were about to collapse. Posters of atomic mushroom clouds, nuclear missiles, collapsed architectural struc- tures, and cartoons of robots controlling mankind covered the walls. A subtle feeling of repulsion filled me as I looked upon the professor who designed this course. Then he looked up to see me. “Welcome, you must be the perspective.” “Yes sir, it is a pleasure to meet you.” “Yes, this is the Anti-Math room. This room is a temple to the foolishness of man’s unquestioning acceptance of mathematics. For example, did you know that when Euclid developed mathematics — yes that’s another important point, math has not always existed, man merely invented it to explain some matters of the universe, but that’s another subject - he tried to begin by defining all his principles at first, then using those he would deduce all other theorems. Well, he couldn’t do it.” The professor became flushed at this point. “No, he had to insert another principle to prove that parallel lines do not converge. Geometry just falls apart because of that. Of course you know that Frenchman had to come along in the 18th century to try to tidy that oversight up, but by then it was too late. And what about divisibility by zero? Mathematics just cannot handle it. We just as well take the whole system on faith. How do we know that two plus two equals four? How do we even know that we are talking about the same two, the same four? It’s all relative; there are no absolutes. That's the kind of subject matter we cover with our intro to Anti-Math class. You’ll study the contradictions and the conse- quences of math. “Look at that,” he said, pointing to the poster of the mushroom cloud. “You’re a smart boy, you know what horrors nuclear weapons cause. If it weren’t for math, there would be no such horrors. That’s right, no weapons, no wars, no borders, nothing. It is mathematics which divides and separates man. Well, that’s enough for an introduction to our program. I look forward to seeing you next fall.” ‘ On the trip home I realized how simply foolish the thought of Anti-Math was. In the vain pursuit of living in a world without math, he only further asserted its absolute existence. Merely because he chose not to acknowledge measurement in the design of his classroom in no way altered the fact that the only thing the professor had failed to use was a ruler. In an odd sense the premise of Anti-Math required that its followers first acknowledge that math exists, so that they could “step outside" the rules of math to disprove them. Yet as I returned to high school, and then to college, I noticed a no- less-absurd Anti-Trutlr, Anti-Church and Anti—God program that permeated every college and university in the world. For some reason “intellectual man” has found it per- fectly acceptable to apply the same fallacious arguments that the professor used in his Anti-Math thesis to “soundly” ridicule the notion that Truth exists, organized religion is valid, or that there is a God. Instead of attacking what the Truth states, we attack what man has done and attempted to justify in the name of the Truth. We live in a world that lives and teaches the professor's final argument, “there are no absolutes.” Yet this very premise assumes the existence of at least one absolute. We laugh at the thought of Anti-Math and his arguments, but why?

I have been on the Executive Committee for three years. I believe strongly in our Honor System However I have heard student opinions concerning White Book procedures and would call for a White Book Revisions Com- mittee right now, although it is out of the regular four-year cycle. Despite the deficit the EC in- herited from last year, the EC was able to fully fund the widest array of student groups and activi- ties to the benefit of the student » PRESIDENT Willard Dumas body. Junior, Bovl/ling Green, Ky. Listed below are a few of the reasons that effected my decision to run for President of the Execu- tive Committee. I would like to see the Execu- tive Committee take a more active role in promoting student aware- ness in controversial areas such as the CRC. Secondly, I disagree with the practice of appointing members of the student body for positions for which they did not apply. Specif- ically, last semester the EC re- First-Year Law, We have made your student-appointed leaders accountable for your student dollars (SAB). Because of that siuration the EC was forced to take action which resulted in a raise of the Student Activities Fee. I don’t represent any special interest group on campus, but I try to represent the broadest possible spectrum of interest among the student body, when I carry out my duties and responsibilities. Tom Hatcher ceived resignations from the Fancy Dress Chairman, Vice Chairman and Auditor, all of whom applied for different positions than they received. Finally, I believe I can lessen the possibility of an adversarial relation- ship between members of the student body and the Executive Committee. By recognizing only violations of the student body’s trust as honor viola- tions, fears of an overzealous Executive Committee will be put to rest. Robert Sau nook When Robert E. Lee estab- lished the Honor Code, he created with it_the understanding that the students of Washington & Lee would work together to create a society of honor and trust. With that goal in mind, the Executive Committee was formed to unite the student effort and ensure that President Lee's desire was main- tained. The Executive Committee was not formed to work against the students or function apart bring the students together in a team effort Lee's vision of a society of honor and trust. Junior, Harrisonburg, Pa. The Washington and Lee Honor System is the best of its kind. It can be better. We need to return to a community of trust. That means trials only when cases are clear cut and with intent. That means an Honor System that works for you, with an EC that backs you up if your honor is questioned. That means a budget" policy that reflects your interests, not someone else’s sense of right and wrong. You deserve an effective EC. from the students, rather, it should - ‘> that will ensure President In an effort to unite the student body again, I propose to increase the faculty's awareness of the role they play in the honor code, to ensure that ' all proceedings are kept confidential, and most important, to help the stu- . dents feel that the EC is in touch with their needs. Tom Spurgeon willing to fight for your rights. I don’t lmow if I can make all those changes, but I'll certainly Hy. I hope you’ll consider‘ me. In reference to my photo, if elected I also promise to shave more often and dress better. The Ring-tum Phl, February 8, 1990 VICE PRESIDENT Mark Cobb Second-Year Law, DeFuniak Springs, Fl. Having served two years on the Executive Committee, I am fully aware of the responsibilities of the vice-president and believe I am the most qualified candidate. In addition to the standard EC duties, the vice president super- vises the allocation of the student body funds; he also advises the accused during honor proceedings. During my two temts, I have helped distribute over $300,000. The addition of the money from the increased activitv fee calls for an experienced leader. ' As advisor to the accused, the vicepresident plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of the honor system. With my experience, I will fairly administer the goals of the system with the rights of the accused. The EC represents the voice of the students; I wish to grant more stu- dents a greater responsibility. I support positive change, and encourage everyone to vote. Hopefully, that vote will be for Mark Cobb. John Fialcowitz Junior, Garden City, N.Y. The Vice President shoulders two distinct roles. He or she serves as the Student Body’s financial administrator. Having represented my class for two years on the Executive Commit- tee, I have cooperated with past Vice‘-Presidents in constructing equitable budgets that reflect student needs and concerns. I have stood for conservative allo- cations and structural improve- ments in the Student Activities Board during this lean fiscal year. . As Chairman and Co—Founder of Live Drive, I worked with other students to create the program in 1988. Since then, Live Drive has developed into an organization consisting of 108 members and has car- ried over 3,000 passengers. The Vice President also serves as Techni- cal Adviser to the accused during honor proceedings. Again, through my two years experience I have developed a detailed working knowledge of the White Book and its procedural guidelines. Rays Welder Junior, Beeville, Tex. I'm Ray Welder, candidate for Vice President of the Executive Committee. I must confess that this is the first time I have ever been interested in an EC position. The reason I am running is that too often, it seems, the Executive Committee is too far removed from the students. I’ share the concerns of the undergraduate and law students that the current EC may not reflect the fundamental sentiments of the student body. A spirit of trust should per- , va'de the workings of the EC and its dealings with students. Student. representatives are students just like everyone else — not quasi-administra- tors. The Executive Committee should be receptive to the needs of the student body as a whole. If elected, I will strive to make the EC as open and accountable as possible. If you believe as I do, that it's time for a change, then vote Ray Welder for Vice President. ‘K 9 SECRETARY Jeff Kelsey First-Year Law,‘ Collierville, Tenn. * I have lived and worked under the Honor System during the last four years as a W&L undergradu- ate, and I appreciate the prestige and the privileges which that system brings to our comrnu.nity. Ours is truly a unique experience, even among schools with honor systems. In order to retain this unique lifestyle, I believe we need strong leaders on the EC who will protect the Honor System, but who will listen to construc- tive criticism and tr'y to improve . ‘ r the overall effectiveness of the EC. I have proven my leadership abilities over the last four years as a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, president I » of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, vice-president of the Inter-Fraternity Council and president of Kathekon. Also, I think I cart be a uniting factor betweax 5 the law students and the undergraduates because I understand the correct of both sides. Clayton Kennington Sophomore, Dallas, Tex. ~. .5 I have the ability to do a fine job. Currently, I am serving my second year on the Executive Committee as Sophomore Repre- sentative. In this time, I have partaken in a variety of occur- rences. I can draw on this pan experience when called upon to make decisions about the Student‘ Body budget, committee appoint-I ments, and Honor matters. Fur- thermore, I am extremely orga- nized and never have problems with getting tasks done on time. ‘ ,. ’ I would use my experience and abilities to see to it that the Executive Committee continues to operate smoothly. Caroline Wight Sophomore, Thomasville, Ga. Having served on the Execu- tive Committee as Sophomore Representative, I have a realistic view of the importance of this body. I know the time and effort involved, and I'm willing to make the commitment. I care about W&L, its values and its people. This intense love of W&L is what has made my job so reward- ing and so difficult. Even with the compassion and empathy I feel for other students, I trust my judgment and integrity to see that trust and honor are upheld. I'm asking you to elect me not only because I believe in W&L, but because I am qualified. I've had the benefit of on-hand experience, and I am also an English major, so I think I would be best suited for the Secretary position. I care about W&L. I care about all students’ opinions, and I would greatly appreciate your support on Monday. 4" "I ~.‘ Vote on Mondaynr EC explains its election procedures “I attempted to get across to the candidates that it only makes them look bad when they talk about other By Rick Peltz Staff Reporter (703) 463-2833 WM.

In A015.- By Alisann McGloin Staff Reporter Fourteen women have established a Delta Gamma Interest Group in order to proceed with the addition of Delta Gamma Women's Fraternity at Washington and Lee University. The interest group, which held its first meeting Monday night, has peti- tioned Panhellenic for an observation seat on the council. However, Pan- hellenic Council carmot officially accept the Delta Gamma Interest Group [DGIG] until it receives a petition including each mernber’s name. The Council also needs the approval of Delta Garrirna’s National Council. The interest group has been in touch with some of DG’s national representatives and is receiving help from local alumnae. Elizabeth Besen- felder, DGIG's national contact repre- sentative, has been in touch with a colonization representative as well as DG’s national expansion director. The purpose stated by the interest group is “to have enough women interested in Delta Gamma to colonize in the fall, to invite inter— ested women to learn about DG and the Greek system and to get more PEPPERS from page 2 4..»~d_:&Q'4¢§ dishonorable. And I signed a card during my freshman year that pledged my intentions to live in our community of honor. But when I see students permanently expelled from this school for shoplifting while other students are not brought before the EC for dishonorable conduct (are there any who will not define date- rape as dishonorable?), my faith in the single-sanction begins to waver. I call on the EC to address the questions that Mr. Patterson raised. The EC has the “primary responsibility for enforcing” the Honor System, yet the EC cannot try cases unless students approach EC members with potential honor violations. Nor can the EC alter the definition of honor without the support of the “student generation.” Changes will not take place if students are reluctant to express their opinions. If you are troubled with the issues I have raised, then talk with a member of the EC and let him know -that some students are troubled by our community of honor. The Ring-tum Phl, February 8, 1990 14 women rally for DG information about Delta Gamma for those women definitely interested in rush.” According to Besenfelder, Delta Gamma national representatives have said that 32 women must commit to rush in the fall before they will re- turn to the university. The main activity of the DGIG at present is to get the word out that DG is still on carripus and that DGIG exists, said Beserifelder. According to Besenfelder, mem- bers of the Delta Gamma Interest Group will go through a form of “installation or ‘rush’ process through which a distinction will be made between those members who are committed to rush next fall and those women who are unsure.” The first ceremony will be held on Feb. 28 for those women com- mitted to rush Delta Gamma in the fall. * Since the installation will not be sponsored by Delta Gamma, an infor- mal ceremony will be held for wom- en who say they will definitely rush in the fall. Parihellenic President Nancy Mit- chell said “There is nothing we would like more than their success.” She said, however, that Parihellenic cannot recognize the group until they officially request such recognition. DGIG members discussed social activities as well as a philanthropic project which may begin as soon as they are recognized by Panhelleriic.

Holland said the house has been repaired completely and none of the current members were involved in the destruction of the house last spring. Phi Delt Chapter Advisor and Pro- fessor of Administration Joseph Gold- sten, writing on behalf of the House Corporation, submitted a letter Jan. 30 to Atkins that also requested the temiination of the probation. “The members clearly understood that the future of the Phi Delta Theta chapter at Washington and Lee Uni- versity was in jeopardy, and have responded in a positive, gentlemanly manner,” Goldsten said. In addition, Goldsteri said, “the most significant and pervasive change that is associated with the probation- ary period is a visible change in attitudes. There is a true sense of community and brotherhood. Mem- bers do not tolerate the anti-social behavior of a few. During the proba- tionary period, abuse of property has virtually been non-existent." Phi Delt will continue to imple- ment some of the stipulations of the probation including continuation of community service projects, Holland said. House mother Mata McGuire, who has been a “primary force in posi- tively altering attitudes and behav- ior,” will remain at Phi Delt, Gold- sten said. Although Phi Delt has not official- ly applied for the Fraternity Renais- sance program, it will probably un- dergo reconstruction beginning June 1 with the rest of the “Red Square" fraternities, Atkins said.

At that time, W&L students, as well as the community, will have the chance to talk one-on-one with black leaders of Lexington and the University body. The Chavis House library will be rededicated during the reception in honor of a Black scholar. Officials have said that educational pioneer Carter G. Woodson is being strongly considered for this honor. Other scheduled events include music days at Evans Dining Hall. From Feb. 26-28, the dining hall will air music by nationally known black artists encompassing many different music sectors. Finally, black educational consul- tant and author Jwanza Kunjufu will lecture at Lee Chapel on Feb. 28. Kunjufu will speak on the educational deficiencies of black youth within the public school system. According to MSA president James Rambeau, all of these activities are “to provide the campus at large, as well as the Lexington community, ' with exposure to a broader range of "black culture and history." W&L and VMI will sing together Z By Todd Peppers Stan‘ Reporter Tomorrow night the Washington and Lee Choral Groups will combine talents with Virginia Military Insti- tute’s Glee Club for the first time in over sixteen years. The three groups will be joined by the Mary Baldwin College Chorus in Lee Chapel at 8:00 p.m. The Cho- ral Festival is open to the public. “This event is special for two reasons,” said Glee Club Director and Music Division Head Gordon Spice. “It is the first time in my Shops set to open this Spring By Macon Miles Staff Reporter K—Mart, Food Lion and Revco, the three major tenants of the new Stonewall Square shopping center located on U.S. 60 east of Lexington, are scheduled to open in the spring. K-Mart, which has moved into its new 86,000 square foot store, is already preparing for its grand open- ing on March 25. It will open its doors, however, on March 22. This K-Mart is one of the pilot stores for K-Mart Corporation's new image of the 90s which it has adopted in order to remain competi-« tive in the discount store market. According to Charles Barger, Jr., one of the developers of the shopping center, First American Bank has signed a lease to open an office at the new strip mall. The bank will be located at the entrance to the parking lot near the new Hardee’s, which is tentaviley scheduled to begin construction by’ March 1. Hardee’s and First American Bank will be constructed where Bill's Tune Up now stands. The developers have made arrangements to rebuild Bill's Tune Up further east U.S. 60 on the other side of the road. A new traffic light will also be installed at the shopping center’s entrance.

New members are elected by Phi Beta Kappa members of the faculty, staff and Law School on the basis of Grade Point Average (GPA) and program of study, said Goehring. The national policy allowing only the top 15 per cent of the senior class is often reduced at W&L, al- lowing fewer than the top 10 per cent. Juniors are elected for Phi Beta Kappa at W&L only if they have a GPA of 3.9 or higher, said Goehr- mg. "There is not any assurance that anybody over a specific GPA will get elected," said Goehring. "Their pro- gram of study must be liberal arts oriented." Two members of the Class of 1989 -— Tracy A. Williarns and Kevin L. Yeager — were elected be- cause they were eligible at graduation but not at the time of election last year. Ward Wright Briggs, Jr., Class of 1967, will be the guest speaker at the convocation and will be initiated as an honorary member. He is a Pro- fessor of Classics at the University of South Carolina. "Phi Beta Kappa is mainly in-‘ tended to honor and promote scholar- ship; it doesn’t do things in a social sense," said Goehring. Founded at the College of Wil- liam and Mary in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa’s name is derived from a Greek phrase meaning "philosophy - - the guide of life." It was founded as a secret social and literary fraternity, but the secret aspects were dropped in the early l800’s when it became an honorary -society based on scholarship. There are currently about 240 chapters at liberal arts and humanities oriented colleges and universities all over the country, said Goehring. Phi Beta Kappa publishes the Key Repor- ter and American Scholar. "Phi Beta Kappa was founded as a socially active community for people who were rather radical, for an inter-play of intellectual tempera- ments and minds," Goehring said. The Gamma of Virginia Chapter was founded at W&L in 1911 and currently has about 45 faculty and staff members, nine Law School members and seven under-graduate members, said Goehring. Convocation will be on March 15, during which the Phi Beta Kappa Sophomore Award will be given to the sophomore with the highest GPA.

For a while. On Thursday night at Emory and Henry, W&L turned in one of its better halves of basketball in over a month, but it wasn't enough as the Wasps fought off the Generals to win 80-77. E&H looked as if it would make short work of the Generals. The Wasps opened up a 31-18 lead mid- way through the first half. But the Generals hung tough. 'lhey fought back to 31-25 but fell behind again 38-25 minutes later. The Generals closed the first half with a 7-2 run to bring the game back to 40-32. Junior captain Mike Holton led W&L with 10 first-half points. Said Holton of the three-hour ride to Emory before the game, “I pretty I, much said to myself, ‘enough is 37.: enough.’ If someone is going to do anything to get the team out of the doldrurris we've been in, it needs to be me." Holton continued his onslaught in the second half, and got help from ‘. ‘ his mates. E&H led 44-35 with 17:15 . ‘ to go when W&L went on its first "' run of the second half. This 11111 gave the Generals their first lead since 2- V, 0. Holton capped a 15-5 run with a I three-point goal to give W&L a 50- W 49 lead with 12:04 to play. Making up the other half of the W&L backcourt during the run was -. junior guard Andrew Manson, who had a career high six points in his 11 minutes of handling the point guard responsibilities. E&H wasted little time in regain- ing the lead. Luke Sampson followed Holton’s three pointer with one of his own to give the Wasps a 52-50 lead, and Craig McLaughlin's lay up gave E&H a 65-56 lead. Again W&L seemed on the ropes, but again they fought back, playing like the W&L teams fans saw 1-§_,PORTS Junior captain Mike Holton looks to the two teams met in Emory, The Ring-tum Phl, February 8, 1990 pass in W&L’s first game against Emory and Henry in Lexington.

Emory and Henry withstood the run, and Leon Hill tied the game at 73 and the teams traded baskets until E&H led 77-75.

Gilbert, who placed third, was the only Division III athlete to place in any event at the meet. “After the jump, I came out of the pit and fig- ured I had jumped around 46 feet,” Gilbert said. “When the armouncer said 46 [feet]-11 [inches], I couldn't believe it. It’s a feeling you can't descri .” Gilbert’: jump equaled the Divi- sion III national standard. The nation- al championship meet will be held at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. on March 9-10. The junior from Bassett, Va. set the school record in the triple jump last spring, with a jump of 47-10. Gilbert is also a member of the 41X)-meter relay team, which has the best time in the Old Dominion Ath- letic Conference this season. Also faring well for the Generals was senior sprinter Wes Boyd. Boyd turned in a personal best 6.4 seconds in the 55-meter sprint. Last season, Gilbert qualified for the national championships in the triple jump in the outdoor season. Gilbert was also a five-time all- ODAC perfonner last season He was also all—ODAC in the individual 400-meter run. He was also all-ODAC in the 400-meter relay both indoors and outdoors. The 400- meter relay team posted the best time in the ODAC last year. Gilbert was also a member of the 16()()—meter relay team, which won the ODAC indoor title. Gilbert set the triple jump school record of 47-10 in the Hampton Invitational, the same meet which qualified him for the national champi- onship meet. The indoor track team will com- pete this weekend at Va. Tech. Gil- bert hopes to qualify in the 400-me- ters also. win...or lose. After Casey tied the game, the Generals forced a turnover with 17 seconds to play, the game still tied at 77. But Holton, who had been the hero all night, made one fatal mis- take. He was trapped in the back- court and tried to loft the ball across the court to Casey, but Derek Elmore stole the pass for E&H and fed Hill underneath the basket. Holton arrived a split-second late to draw the charge, and Hill's lay-up Carl Gilbert Rich Paini Smith extends win streak to 22 as swimmers sink Radford by 54 By John Laney Stall‘ Reporter The Washington and Lee men’s swirmning team overwhelmed Radford University on Saturday with a 107- 53 victory. The 54-point margin of victory at Radford was the largest for the Gen- erals this season as they improved their record to 7-5. “I was real pleased with our performance once again,” said head coach Page Remillard. “We are continuing to improve individually, and that is helping us win the meets we are supposed to win.” W&L simply dominated Satur- day's rrieet, winning ten of the 11 events and earning second-place points in four events. “We were a much better team,” Remillard said. “Their [Radford’s] team is very young. This is their first year in swirnriiing. “They ran a good meet and their pool was super. It’s nice to have a pool of that quality in the area. We went front the worst pool (we've seen this season) to the best pool in one week,” Rernillard added, refer- ring to the fact that Shepherd Col- lege’s pool has only four lanes and no starting blocks. Sophomore Jay Smith improved his unbeaten streak to 22 with a vic- tory in the 100-yard freestyle (48.17). Smith also bettered the qualifying standard for the 100-yard backstroke with his victory in the leadoff leg in the 400-yard medley relay. Smith finished his leg with a time of 54.80. Coming into this season, Smith had said he set a goal to consistently swim the 50-yard freestyle in 21 seconds and the 100-yard freestyle in 47 seconds. Although his times have somewhat slipped from his intended goals during the last three meets, Smith is still winning his races. “It’s hard to be on top every week," Remillard said. “I think he's doing fine. He’s a super person, a super student and a super athlete.” The Generals’ roster was strength- ened by the healthy return of junior Jim Dunleavy, who had rriissed a week of practice with a bout of the flu. " Dunleavy won the 10()O-yard freestyle event (10:09.44) and finished second in the 500-yard freestyle (5210.14). “He seems to be back on track,” Remillard said. Both of W&L’s relay teams swam to first-place finishes. The 400-yard medley relay team composed of Smith, sophomores Stuart Towns, Doug Brown and Chip Nordhoff finished in 3:57.54, while the 3:35.55 finish for the 400-yard freestyle med- ley team (Smitl1, Nordhoff, freshmen Andrew Pearson and Chris Hagge) beat Radford's team by nearly 45 seconds. Finishing out the individual victory list for W&L were Brown in the 200- yard and 500-yard freestyles (1:54.58), (4:53.67), Towns in the 200-yard individual medley (2:O5.09) and the 200-yard breaststroke (2:23.51), Nordhoff in the 200-yard backstroke (2109.07) and Hagge in the 50-yard freestyle (23.31). The remainder of the Generals’ second-place finishes were collected by freshman Marco Lotano, who was good as Holton fouled him with eight seconds left. The free throw was good, and the Generals could only get a desperation three point shot from Casey, which was off the mark. Holton led all scorers with a career high 26 points on 10-of-14 shooting. Junior center Chris Jacobs was also in double figures for W&L with 19. The 80-77 loss left the Generals 12-8, 7-6 in the conference, but head coach Verne Carifreld was pleased the way his team played against the hottest team in the conference. “We played very well, well enough to win. There were so many positive things that came out of the second half, maybe these young men can hold on to that and we can go on from here." But the Generals did not hold on to their second half play against E&H back in rainy Lexington when they took on conference foe Virginia Wes- leyan on Saturday. The Generals shot themselves into a hole early and not even a red-hot Pat Gallavan could shoot the Generals out of it. After a brief W&L lead, the Blue Marlins took a 25-16 lead on a bas- ket by Trevor Williams with 9:01 to play in the half. W&L then flashed to life, sparked by Casey’s breakaway lay-up and went on a 12-0 run over the next five minutes, capped by two free throws from Manson. Five different players scored for W&L during the run. But VWC closed the half with an 8-2 run to lead 33-30, capped by Daryl Reid's lay up at the buzzer. The Generals found themselves in a hole at the break mainly due to their shooting, just 34 percent for the half, while VWC connected on a 52 per- cent clip. In the second half, VWC pulled out to a quick nine point lead on two free throws by Williams with 12:56 to play. The lead then grew to 14 with 5:01 to play, 53-39. Enter Gallavan. After missing his first two shots, W&L’s version of the Microwave set the temperature on high, and proceeded to hit three con- secutive three pointers to bring the Generals within five at 53-48 with 3:21 to play. After two free throws from Jacobs, Gallavan struck again from three point range, cutting the lead to 56- 53, but that would be as close as W&L would get. VWC put the game away from the free throw line, mak- ing 13 of their last 15 over the last two minutes to ice the 67-59 win, extending the Generals’ home losing streak to three. Gallavan led W&L with 15 points, all in the last four minutes of the Struggling Generals look to start over game on three point goals, and Casey added 14. On the afternoon, W&L shot just 29 percent. Holton and Jacobs, the teams top two scorers, shot a combined 2-of-21 and totaled 12 points. So after a month of struggling, Canfield has decided to start over. “We’re taking the very positive ap- proach that the struggle is over. We're treating things like practice started yesterday. The season starts with Mary Washington.” The Generals have lost five out of their last six to fall to 12-9, 7-7 on the season. However, Canfield warns, “We’re not through yet." Tonight the Generals will look to bounce back in their final regular- season home game against Mary Washington. Game time is 7:30 in the Warner Center.

Grapplers split at Gallaudet By John Neumann Staff Reporter The Washington and Lee wrestling team, led by freshman Rich Paini’s two pins, picked up a decisive victory over the host team after dropping an initial decision to Washington and Jefferson in last weekend’s Gallaudet Triangular. The Generals soundly defeated Gallaudet, 38-16, after losing to a tough W&J club, 28-15. Head coach Gary Franke expressed surprise at the ease of his club’s win over Gallaudet. Commenting on the W&J match, he said, “We just didn't come out with enough individual performances to win.” ’ The Generals jumped all over Gallaudet from the beginning of the match. Pairii recorded his fall with just five seconds to go in the rriatch, and junior co-captain Larry Pilkey, grappling at 126-pounds, needed just 2:37 to pin his opponent. Freshman Doug Lamb and senior co-captain Lee Garlove each won by forfeit, at 134 and 142 respectively. After four quick matches the Generals held a commanding 24-0 lead. Ryland Scott, another freshman, Jay Smith... extends win streak to 22 swam the 1000-yard freestyle in 10:29.11, Pearson in the 200-yard freestyle (1:57.93) and Hagge in the 100-yard freestyle (51.04). “Everybody had a good meet. The optimism is there and rightfully so,” said Rernillard. The final dual meet of the season for the men is at Mary Washington on Saturday. The Generals have never lost to the Eagles. pinned his 158-pound opponent in 3:48. Freshman 167-pounder Jamie Selway lost, and Franke was prompted into some tactical moves to secure W&L’s 30-12 lead. Franke bumped sophomore Peer Soderberg up two weight classes to 190 pounds. In Soderberg's place at 177- pounds, Franke sent junior Bill Avery onto the mats. If Avery could avoid being pirmed, the Generals would win the match. The plan worked as Avery only lost by decision and secured the team victory for the Generals. It was Avery’s first action of the season. After spending the fall in China, Avery rejoined the team after Christ- mas and has been working out with the team to regain his shape since then. Franke did not feel he was ready until this past weekend and has held off using him. The Generals won the final two bouts to put some icing on the cake. Soderberg did not seem to mind the shift in weight classes, winning by technical fall and Conkling sealed the victory with an 8-7 heavyweight win, only his second decision of the year. The Generals did not fare as well in the W&J match although some bright spots did shine. Pairii recorded another pin in this match, 5:26 into the 118 match. Garlove soundly de- feated his opponent 10-2 while Scott squeezed out a 2-2 draw. Soderberg registered a win, 4-0, at his more comfortable 167-pound weight class. Overall, Franke was pleased. “It was a great team effort on our part in both matches. We are where we want to be conditioning-wise and we are looking forward toward this weekend’s Virginia College Division * Championships.” Next weekend’s championships at Virginia State University in Peters- burg include all Division H and III Virginia schools. Norfolk State, Newport News Apprentice, Longwood College and Washington and Lee will all compete along with Virginia State for the title. Franke believes that there are strong wrestlers on every squad but Virginia State and Longwood seem to be the strongest along with Norfolk State. On February 14, Longwood Col- lege will come to town for a dual meet. “Longwood is tough and they match up well against us, but I ex- pect us to do well,” said Franke. The match is slated for a 7:30 start. Herring doubles, Sauers breaks records in win From Staff Reports The Washington and Lee wornen’s swimming team recorded its second win in its last three outings against non-Old Dominion Athletic Confer- ence opponents with a 114-87 win over state rival Radford last Saturday. Sophomore Jodi Herring-scored two individual wins, and freshman Stephanie Sauers set two school re- cords as the Generals rolled over Radford. Herring set season—best times in the 1,000- and 500-yard freestyle events, winning with times of 11:19.79 and 5:33.11 respectively. Sauers broke records in the 50- and 100—freestyle races, breaking records set last year by Herring. Sauers’ times were 25.29 and 56.25 seconds respectively. Said head coach Page Reniillard, “Stephanie is really coming on strong. She is swirmning her lifetime best times and has completely ad- justed to our intensity level. Jodi continues to lower her times.” Junior Sharon Coleman, along with Sauers, came within a fraction of a second, five-one hundredths to be exact, of qualifying for nationals. Coleman set a season best time with her win in the 200-butterfly. Senior Kris Amoroso (200-free- style), junior Rachelle Nock (200- breaststroke) and freshman Claire Dudley (200 IM) were also individual winners. The 400 medley relay team of Amoroso, Nock, Coleman and Sauers also brought home a first place for W&L. “We’re coming back together after hard training,” said Remillard. “I also think the team is developing a lot of confidence.” Next Saturday W&L swims against Mary Washington. A win would bring the Generals’ record to 6-7 overall, 3-0 in the conference. The Generals hold the best time in every event in the conference except the 1650, but Reniillard is confident his team will take over the top time in that event as well. “We will get that time. And then we'll be in position to win our third straight ODAC title.” The ODAC championships will be held Feb. 23-24 at Hollins College. \‘ &‘ 0-. 1 :1 .4 .r $ -ragweed s.

Wolfe’s Bonfire hits silver screen By Pat Lopes Assignment Editor Sherman McCoy will think he's at the top. He’ll be the leading Wall Street bonds broker. He’ll be married and have a kid. And he’ll even have a gorgeous girlfriend to fool around with on the side. But one evening as Sherman McCoy drives through New York, he'll find out that all the things he has won't get him out of the mess he drives into. By December of this year, we’ll be there to watch him as he burns in Bonfire of the Vanities, a $30 million movie based on Washington and Lee alumnus Tom Wolfe's best selling novel by almost the same name. Wolfe also wrote the best seller which became a 1983 block buster, The Right Stuff. Warner Brothers bought the mo- tion picture rights to Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities and the lead- ing roles have already been cast, according to producer’s assistant Mo _L_ospinoso. Tom Hanks is Sherman McCoy, Melanie Griffith is McCoy's girl- friend Maria Ruskin and Bruce Willis is Tom Fallow, a seedy journalist who follows McCoy's downfall from Wall Street wizard to Harlem jail inmate, according to Lospinoso. Brian de Palma is directing and Fred Caruso is producing. De Palma and Caruso have worked together on Dressed to Kill and Blow Out. The screenplay was written by Michael Christopher, who also wrote the screenplay for The Witches of Eastwick. Lospinoso said shooting will begin in March on location, with street scenes in New York and indoor shots in Los Angeles. Didn’t win the Bahamas trip?

Tie, a European History major from Dallas, made a quick dash to the Berlin Wall a few days before Thanksgiving to become a part of history. He decided to make the trip at 2 p.m., and later that evening boarded a plane bound for Berlin. Tie made the trip on the condition that he be back in time to meet the family for Thanksgiving dirmer in St. Louis. On the way to the airport his father expressed concern over his son's sudden impulse. Tie justified his actions by saying, “I pay $10,000 a year to study history, but I’m only spending $1,000 to see history being made." Also, Tie plarmed to sell pieces of the wall, or “Die Mauer” as souvenirs to pay for his trip. - Upon reaching Berlin, Tie caught a bus and made a I beeline for the wall. His mission was to chip off the piece where he had spray painted his name earlier in the year, when he had travelled with the German department during spring term. Unfortunately he soon found that the section with his name on it had been one of the few which had been opened up for easier access between the two Berlins. He set to work on another section and stored the pieces in a hotel room across the street; When he left Berlin the next day, Tie took with him eighty-seven pounds of “Die Mauer." When he returned home, he cut the stone and applied asbestos sealant to keep it from crumbling. To the stones he attached engraved gold plates. Tie sold the stones for $30 apiece, including a photo of the piece still in the wall and an affidavit of its authenticity. The pieces sold so quickly that Tie decided to return to Berlin two weeks later with his brother. This time he pulled out about four hundred and fifty pounds of “Die Mauer,” which he shipped back to the U.S. in a huge crate. Tie said the biggest problem in getting pieces from the » wall was the police. “As long as you were casual about it they didn’t care, but if you made too‘ much noise or were obnoxious about it, the police would confiscate your tools.” Often this meant throwing them into “no man’s ' land,” which is the space between the two walls V separating East and West Berlin. Tie said he spent at least five hundred dollars on tools while he was there. After spending a few days in Berlin, Tie travelled alone to Prague where he signed a petition for Havel to become President. He had a difficult time getting into Czechoslovakia, however, as he was there right about the time of the revolution. After trying both the East and West Berlin Czechoslovakian embassies, Tie finally drove back through West Germany, followed its border to where it meets the Czech border and entered the country at that point. I c The greatest things about his trip were “The people I met and the conversations I had," said Tie. Despite the language barrier, he was able to talk to several Germans, including a student, Matthias Lehmann and an East German soldier, Gurmard Reppin. Tie remembers vividly the conversation with Reppin, who explained that both East and West Germany need each other. He commented that “The West Germans have eyes to see what they want, ears to hear what they want, and feet to go where they want, whereas East Germany has the soul which will make the two one.” When Tie returned home he was interviewed by Channel 8 in Dallas, after which he received numerous calls from people who wanted pieces of the wall. This week he plans to travel to Washington, D.C., where he will present his senators a.rId congressman with souvenirs. Some of Tie’s memorabilia will be displayed in the library the near future and he may speak on campus.

El Cafe, which will be located on the comer of Main and Jefferson Streets, will open this spring, Leslie said. Leslie recently bought the build- The Hodge Podge housewares and the Jefferson Florist and Garden, which he will convert to a restaurant. According to Leslie, El Cafe will feature a Tex—Mex cuisine, mostly Mexican, including tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. “Although the menu has not been finalized, we do have plans for several speciality dishes which carmot be found at restaurants such as Chi Chi’s," Leslie said. Several W&L students have ex- can restaurant in Lexington. ' Senior" Dede Connor, who eats out several nights a week, said, “A Mex- ican restaurant will be a nice change. Lexington needs more choices of restaurants. I just hope it opens before I graduate!” Freshman Jen Paciorek, when told about the plans 'for El Cafe said, “That's awe- some!" The Jefferson Florist has already found a new location in Lexington at Monday, Feb. 19. Sally Lincoln, manager of The Jefferson, says, “We are thrilled with the new location. It is more open and light.” She adds, “We are also excited about the Mexican rest- aurant.” Hodge Podge closed last week.

The play by Patrick Meyers is a thesis project for Washington and Lee seniors David Daves, Michael Dixon and Mary Hipp. Daves is the director of K 2, Dixon acts in the lead role of Harold, and Mary Hipp is responsible for the light design. Dixon is joined by Washing- ton and Lee sophomore Mason Pettit in the role as Taylor, the only other character. The title refers to the play’s setting: the second highest mountain in the world. The play begins shortly after the two men are caught in a climbing accident that leaves Harold with a broken leg. At first the two men desperately seek a solution that will allow them to both descend the treacherous slope; eventually they will come to the horrible conclusion that only Taylor can leave the mountain. The play focuses on the bond between the two friends since, ultimately, Harold will order Taylor "to salvage one life which can be saved, and to live on for both of them." In the February edition of the drama department’s Curtain Call, director Daves wrote that “the situation of two men facing a battle with natural forces is not a new one. But what makes the play so interesting is how the men, Taylor and Harold, relate to each other...at first glance Harold and Taylor seem to be complete opposites, black and white. However, upon closer examination it appears that rather than being opposites they are each other's mirror image.” Auditions Daves added that “...in the end we are alone. For Taylor and Harold, however different their own lives are, in the end, meaning is given to them through each other.” On Monday I attended part of the K 2 technical rehearsal. What I witnessed was not the finished product; nor was I able to see the play in its entirety due to the frequent stops. Yet the “diamond in the rough” that I saw is rapidly emerging into an impressive production. One of the hardest chores an actor can face is trying to rriaintain intensity while the flow of the play is constantly interrupted, yet both Dixon and Pettit kept a high degree of concentration during the practice. Both W&L students offer solid and authentic characters. Dixon has the daunting task of portraying the crippled Harold. Daves wrote that because of Harold’s disabilities “his ideas, thoughts, feelings, had to be expressed solely through language. My task as a director was to make this verbal activity as essential and real as the physical activity of the other character.” Harold is a physicist and a devoted family man; Taylor is a fiery district attorney who views love as a battle zone. Pettit, besides having to create the believable character of Taylor, also gets to demonstrate his mountain climbing skills. (Mountain climbing in a theater? Just a testimony to Tom Ziegler’s set.) During the two hours I spent in the theater, I was impressed with both Pettit and Dixon; from broken legs and shattered spirits, to hypothermia and rage, their injuries and emotions rang true. Moveover, I was struck with the way Daves interacted with his actors. He hung on their every movement and, during breaks offered praise, subtle criticism, and suggestions. Both Pettit and Dixon appeared to work well with their director. The most striking aspect of K 2 is the set designed by Tom Ziegler. I am constantly amazed that, from such diverse shows as Little Shop of Horrors to «No Exit, Ziegler, with the aid of technical director Gary Hurniston, can offer such superb sets. If Ziegler can consistently produce these wonderful results in the cramped and antiquated Troubadour Theatre, then his creative genius will go wild in the Lenfest Center. This particular set is unique. The audience does not sit in the normal Theatre seats, but rather in the downstage area of the stage. Soaring above them is a 24 foot mountain side that is shrouded in fog and stretches into darkness. The actors are located on a small ledge which is located on the side of the mountain. The play opens with a five-minute sunrise and later features a realistic avalanche scene. The illusion is perfect, and Daves warns his potential audience to “bring a coat; it gets very cold at 27,000 feet.” I‘ will not assign K 2 one of my arbitrary grades since I did not see either a finished or complete product. But if my glimpse of the show is at all accurate, then Daves, I-Iipp, and Dixon have collaborated on a strong senior thesis. Take a break from the movies and go see K 2. The play opens Feb. 9 and runs through Feb. 14. You can phone the Theatre at 463-8637 for reservations. Plays do not come with movie ratings, but the Curtain Call notes that adult language is used in K 2. on Tuesday From Staff Reports Auditions for the University Theatre's one-act plays, “Grace- lan ” and “Love is the Best Doctor,” will be held Tuesday at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Wednes- day at 7 p.m. Senior Mary Hipp will direct “Graceland,” a play by Ellen Byron. Moliere’s “Love is the Best Doctor” will be directed by junior Karen Meyers. The student-directed plays are at the heart of W&L’s educational theater program, according to a statement from the theater. Facul- ty perform only an advisory role; the students chose the plays and will cast them and design the productions. The plays will be performed in the Troubadour Theatre March 29 - April 1. Alum jumps into Panama From Press Releases “At the two-minute warning, I was praying pretty well. At one minute before the jump, I was pray- ing like I’ve never prayed in my life.” That is how 2nd Lt. Jon Missert described his first combat jump into Panama on Dec. 21. A 1988 gradu- ate of W&L, Missert was commis- sioned in June of 1988 and is pres- ently Company Fire Support Officer with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, N.C. The 82nd Airborne was alerted at 9 a.m. on Dec. 18, drew equipment _ and moved to a secured area six hours before the jump. The mission, according to President Bush, “was to safeguard the lives of Americans in Panama, combat drug trafficking, and protect the integrity of the Panama Canal Treaty.” When it came time to jump, Mis- sert said he was scared, but there was so much to do, and his ruck was Fancy _Dress is just around the corner, so »why not impress your _ date with the foxtrot or a perfect waltz.

In broken Spanish, Missert was able to communicate with him. The Panamanian guided him toward the airport and exclaimed, “Thank God you're here.” From there, Missert moved on toward the airport to link up with his company and continue the mission. As Fire Support Officer, Missert was to use artillery, air support and mor- tar available to him and neutralize PDF headquarters, thus clearing the way for the infantry. Once this was accomplished, the task left was basi- cally for the infantry to go in and mop up, Missert said. While he was scared throughout the military action, Missert knew the importance of his mission and said he thought it was necessary for the U.S. to intervene. As a military officer, ns!
