Howison will replace Lewis John, who will begin teaching full-time. Howison, who has been at St. Lawrence since 1968, said he decided to leave the New York university WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY because of the nature of Washington and Lee. “There are very few schools in the U.S. that could convince me to leave St. Lawrence," Howison said. “But this is an opportunity I am excited to accept.” Howison, who is a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity and an alumnus of Ohio Wesleyan, said he is a strong supporter of the fraternity system. “At every institution I’ve been involved with, I've seen the positive aspects of fraternities,” Howison said. “I’m committed to the system, as is W&L.” Wilson said Howison played an important role in St. Lawrence’s program to improve fraternity life. “He has a full appreciation of the fraternity system and will be an ac- tive ally for students and alumni,” said Wilson. “He is enthusiastic about our decision to renovate the fraternities." St. Lawrence Student Body Vice President Ramsey Goodrich said Howison is pro-fratemity. “He sup- ports the fraternity system in every way.” Goodrich said Howison is also a fantastic administrator. “He is in touch with the students,” added Goodrich. “He is not just in the administration build- ing, but out on the campus.” Wilson said after he met How- ison, he was not surprised to learn LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA St. Lawrence’s Howison to succee the search committee unanimously recommended Howison for the vacan- cy. He described Howison as calm, measured and intelligent. “He thinks before he speaks._” “He has a great deal of experi- ence,” continued Wilson. “His values have been shaped in institutions with similar commitments as ours.” Howison said he is honored and proud to join the’Washington and Lee administration. “Everyone I met at W&L was first rate,” Howison said. “I was tremendously impressed. The quality of academics and the tradition make it very special.” Howison earned a bachelor’s de- gree at Ohio Wesleyan, a master’s at Miami University and a doctorate in education at Indiana University. He served as residence hall director and freshman advisor at Miami University for three years before he joined St. Lawrence. Howison, who has taught several courses in Sports Culture, said he has noticed parallels between the athletic programs at St. Lawrence and W&L. “Sports are critical to a liberal education,” said Howison. “At both schools, athletics and student support are essential.” Howison, who has two teenage children, said he is not sure when he and his family will move to Lexing- ton, but he is “looking forward to coming South."

By Alisann McGl0in Staff Reporter The Washington and Lee faculty Monday voted down a proposal to give the Panhellenic Association full voting privileges on the Student Af- fairs Committee. SAC, according to the Student Handbook, has “authority for all non- curricular matters affecting student life” at W&L. PHC had proposed that a fourth faculty member be added to the com- mittee, andthat two of the faculty members be elected every other year to two—year terms. Under the present format, one SAC faculty member is elected each year for a three-year term. The committee is currently chaired by Dean of Students Lewis John. The other members are Associate Dean of Students Leroy “Buddy” Atkins, Prof. Robert de Maria, Prof. Kathy Koberstein, Prof. Lisa Alty, EC Presi- dent Willard Dumas, Interfratemity Council President Kevin Nash, Stu- dent Conduct Committee President Brandon Canaday, Head Dormitory Counselor Mary Alice McM0rrow, and Student Bar Association President John Falk.

Although the members of SAC approved the proposal by a vote of 8-2, any such proposals must be approved by the faculty as a whole. “SAC reports to the faculty and requires the approval of the faculty," Atkins said. Some of the concerns expressed by faculty members who wppOSCd the plan were that, with the addition of two more members to the committee of 10, it might become too cumber- some to get anything accomplished, Atkins said.

The new restrictions,, which must be ap- proved by City Council, limit residents to three convictions for noise and litter violations an- nually. The new rules would also require land- logds to provide “defined and surfaced” park- ing and to give neighbors their tennants’ names and information about their vehicles. The new rules, if approved by council, will apply only to houses with five to eight stu- dents, since the commission decided on a limit of no more than eight students living in the same residence. The permits would be reviewed every five years, at which time the commission could deny renewal. The commission said police convictions, not complaints, would apply for a 12-month period, beginning June 1 every year. In houses receiv- ing more than three police convictions in one year, the “extra” students allowed under the conditional use permit might be evicted and the permit would be “subject to revocation” by the commission. Comments favoring the new rules were voiced by Susan LaRue, co—chairman of Thresh- old, and City Council member A.C. “Sonny” Jordan at a Feb. 15 commission meeting. “Our concern is these are houses that were Wilson considers request for list of student cars By James Lake Asociate Editor Washington and Lee President John Wilson said he is still considering how the school will respond to Lexington’s latest effort to students for owning automobiles. Wilson last month received a letter from City Manager Joseph King, asking for a list of students who own cars. King wants the list so Commissioner of Revenue Courtney Baker can more easily collect Lexington’s personal proper- ty tax. “There are a number of things I want to take fully into account,” Wilson said. On the one hand, W&L does not want to be accused of obstructing the city’s efforts to collect a lawful tax. But, Wilson said, “There are many nega- tive factors associated with [collecting the tax].” Among those factors, Wilson said, are worries that collecting the tax would encourage Law Students examine tax issue see page 4 students to live in the county or to refuse to register their cars with the university. Also, Wilson said the school doesn't “want to violate the understanding we have with students about how their records are kept." According to W&L‘s Student Handbook, federal law allows schools to release only “directory information” from a student's files without his permission. That includes a stu- dent’s address, telephone number, place of birth, major, activities, degrees awarded and, in the case of athletes, height and weight. Under normal circumstances, only the stu- dent and a school employee “who has a legiti- mate interest in reviewing such materials” can have access to additional information, the handbook says. available for low—to-moderate income families. They have now been bought and renovated to house W&L students," LaRue said. She said her hope was that the new restrictions would help to make the tennants become “good neighbors.” H Jordan, asking the commission if they had driven through the “Diamond Hill” area recent- ly, then asked the commission if they would like to have any of the large student residen- ces as their neighbors. Jordan was given a “no” reply by many commission members. Jordan said the buying up of the residences on Diamond, Randolph and Massie Streets has forced many low—income families to move to Willow Springs, where they are now on wel- fare because of excess travel expenses between Lexington and Willow Springs. Hearing set for Master Plan Approval of Washington and Lee’s Master Plan is “in the final stages” City Manager Joe King said at the Plan- ning Commission meeting last week. The commission and City Council have set a joint public hearing on the zoning issues for 8 pm. on March 29. But King said legal work has not begun for consideration of whether the city should extend W&L‘s institutional zone to include the fraternity houses.

OCR::/Vol_089/WLURG39_RTP_19900308/WLURG39_RTP_19900308_002.2.txt OPINION FD: less spending, more headaches Once again, ’tis the Fancy Dress season. (It’s always easy to tell when ’tis the season, because students look a lot more well-groomed at parties than ususal). With the season comes the budgeting and accounting headache for the Student Activities Board treasurer and FD auditor. Last year, as we all know, was a financial disaster. First, the decorations chairmen were assigned, rather than chosen. People who showed more than a casual interest in a certain arena of the big or little gym were made chairmen. They were given no budget. They were not made to order anything ahead of time, although they were advised to do so. As a result, many things were bought as they were needed — on the SAB’s charge accounts. It was amazing how almost every establishment in Rockbridge County was signed up for an SAB charge. If you needed something, you didn’t ask anyone if you could go purchase it; you didn’t tell anyone you were going to purchase it; you just went. Last year no one was in charge of the accounting, so eventually people who were sent on errands just threw receipts away. It was thus not at all surprising that when fall came bills for untold amounts were still pouring in. This year the situation was reversed. The decorations chairmen were made to apply for the positions. Each chairman was given a strict budget. Each chairman had to order everything he could before Christmas vacation. Decorations had to be ordered by section so budgets could be kept within each section. And, there are no charges. Despite the good relsults the Executive Committee expected from this policy, it is somewhat of a mixed blessing for those involved in the practical aspects of decorating for a $69,000 party. Here’s the problem: checks are written twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. This leaves little leeway when having to run to Wal-Mart for last-minute items that couldn’t be ordered. Or, try explaining to a supplier that you need it to be sent today but could they please wait a couple of days for the check to be written. This also presents the logistical problem of knowing how much you need the check to be written for before leaving for the store. This entails going to the stores, pricing each item, and then going back to the store when the check is written. Neither system is perfect. The former encourages liberal spending; the latter results in frustrated decorations chairmen. One alternative that could be considered is a purchase order system, which would require students to submit purchase requests in advance, including rough estimates of the items’ costs. This would allow for proper accounting on the part of the SAB, as well as flexibility in buying on the part of the decorations chairmen. Also, place one person in charge of the finances, someone who knows each chairman’s budget well enough to issue purchase orders within each budget. That’s the way to stay within the budget. Next year’s FD auditing is apt to be better still than this year’s. Each year we learn from our mistakes; hopefully this year will be no different. ‘My View’ policy As the editors of a student newspaper, we feel an obligation to publish every student-opinion piece we receive, and we encourage students and others in the W&L community to submit letters or “My Views.” Submissions should be made on an IBM-compatible disk, if possible, and must be in our office, Room 208 of the University Center, by noon on Tuesday to appear in that week’s edition. In addition to the work of W&L students, when space permits, we occasionally publish as “My Views” columns from syndicates or other newspapers in an effort to present a variety of viewpoints on the issues of the day. However, the appearance of a “My View,” regardless of its source, does not indicate an endorsement of its views by the editors. The Phi is indeed our newspaper, but it is no more ours than it is yours. The quality and diversity of its opinion page are dependent on your submissions.

MY VIEW By Alan Heinrich The recent election of Violeta Chamorro’s UNO coalition in Nicaragua — financed to the tune of $20 million by the U.S. government — is the latest chapter in the U.S. govemment’s immoral inter- ference in that country. From the early days of “gunboat diplomacy” and marine invasions to its institutionalization of the treacherous Nicaraguan national guard and the empowerment of Anastasio Somoza Sr. to its active support and morally- oblivious financing of the dictator’s murderous regime, the United States has proven itself to have nothing remotely resembling a morally sound basis for its latest endeavors in Nicaragua. Despite the enormous suffering of the Nic- araguan people, despite the unabashed corruption of Anastasio Sr.’s heir, Anastasio Jr., who once boasted “Nicaragua is my farm,” despite the brutality of the Nicaraguan national guard, which routinely tortured men, women, children and the elderly, and treated the American TV audience to ii 'n\\‘\,‘ I ~" it < \\l.l<»\ ’ "-‘"29 I'll; \‘ \ i /" the murder of ABC newsman Bill Stewart on live television, the U.S. government clung insistently to the Somoza regime. Even in the final moments of the murderer’s rule, the Carter administration pressured the Inter- national Monetary Fund for a $66 million loan for the tyrant. Faced with a population largely illiterate and greatly malnourished, suffering from a devas- tating earthquake and cut off from the swift and effective channels of U.S. aid that characterized Somoza‘s U.S. relations, the Sandinistas defaulted on the $1.5 billion debt Somoza left behind. This precipitated Washington’s anti-Sandinista obsession, fueled with the rhetoric of anti-communism — despite the fact that according to U.S. government sources‘ themselves, the FSLN received more support from Mexico, Venezuela and Costa Rica than from Cuba. Reagan wasted no time in initiating his eco- nomic war as well as his Contra war, enlisting many ex-Somoza officers under the leadership of the Somocista Enrique Bermudez. Not surprisingly, economic collapse resulted. This collapse — the result of U.S. policy, not Sandinista mismanage- ment — was responsible for the election of Charn— {A i \ \“\\\\\‘\\\\\\\~e ; Electionlues in Nicaragu orro’s coalition. It is painfully ironic that the leaders of the United States, a nation with its very origin in revolution, should be ignorant of the nature of revolutions today. Cuba did not “export” revolu- tion to Nicaragua, nor have the Sandinistas ex- ported revolution to El Salvador — revolutions have indigenous causes, such as poverty, injustice and political oppression. To speak of Central American revolutions as needing an exporter, given the social realities of the region, is nothing short of an insult to the human spirit and a betrayal of the United States’ own philosophical foundation. In Central America, with its vast social inequal- ity, revolution is logically synonymous with democ- racy: democracy is only truly possible in a country with a relatively equal distribution of power and wealth. Let's hope that the Charnorro government proves to be different than the other U.S.- backed governments of Central America, past and present, which have been fundamentally counter-revolution- ary, and recognizes that a democratic government must be for, of, and by the people, and not the protectorate for the privileges of the elite.

The Ring-tum Phi Post Office Box 899 Lexington, Virginia 24450 THE SBAR SIDE By Jon Sbar On an important day in Washing- ton and Lee history, sometime in the distant past, General Lee was so bored that he called his faithful horse, Traveller, and other campus authori- ties together to discuss great works of American literature. The meeting went smoothly until Traveller became so disgusted with Stonewall Jackson’s analysis of The Scarlet Letter that he spit his oats onto the carpet and threatened to leave the university and get a job pulling buggies around Lexington with the tourist bureau. To prevent this argument from becoming physically violent, Lee tactfully changed the subject. Lee: Whoa, Traveller, why don’t you relax. It’s only a book. And you, Stonewall, shut up already about the Scarlet “A.” Listen, we need to invent some grandiose campus that even the students can enjoy. Do either of you Civil War has-beens have any suggestions? Traveller: I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we pay tribute to the sun on the first day of spring. We can all drink the nectar of Bacchus, god of California wine, and dance around Sociology student defends fraternity survey I wish to take this opportunity to apologize for any misunderstanding that might have come out of my Sociology 280 study on the Greek system. Unfortunately, many people have approached me in defense of the fraternity system as if the purpose of my survey was to discredit the fraternities of Washington and Lee. For one, this survey was not specifically aimed at fraternities at W&L. Also, I find it interesting that only men who are involved in the Greek system have found it necessary to complain. Even though the survey is aimed to extract information about sororities as well, the women do not find it a personal attack. ‘ I in no way wish to attack the fraternities or naked in the woods. Lee: Good idea but it’s a bit too pagan. Don't forget I’m a Christian. Tliey’ll never name a chapel after me if I sanction paganism! Stonewall: I’ve got a better idea. Why don’t we have a big formal dance in the gym with two live bands. The students can dress up in fashionable uncomfortable clothing, eat dinner at expensive restaurants and get stinking drunk. We’ll even encourage the female participants to spend long hours in between songs and conversations in the bathrooms doing God knows what. Lee: I like the idea, but it sounds too much like a high school Prorri. Stonewall: Yeah, but what if we have some dance thene like the Trojan War, for example, and spend thousands of dollars making the gym look like a Trojan battlefield. Traveller can even pull a chariot and you can pretned that you're Achilles. Also, we could invite the faculty and administration and encourage them to get as drunk as the students. We could even have a special student dance comrriittee. Lee: That sounds great, but what's the dance committee for? Stonewall: To make sure that the dance theme remains secret until the week before the dance. Lee: Okay, but what are we gonna call this thing? Fancy Slacks? Stonewall: How about Fancy Dress? Traveller: Yeah, that's perfect. And so Fancy Dress was born. Although Traveller trampled Stonewall Jackson, who was dressed up like Hector, the Trojan warrior, at the first Fancy Dress Ball, the FD tradition continues sucessfully into the present. This year’s theme is Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, and my sources inform me that at this very moment, as I write, the FD studnet staff is busy decorating the gym with objects relevant to the novel like Gatsby’s dead body and the green light. For those of you who have never read Great Gatsby cliffnotes or seen the movie, here’s a higlily-technical summary. Jay Gatsby, who calls everyone “Old Sport” and grew up dirt poor, is a wealthy bootlegger living in New York (i.e. the wasteland). Gatsby has purchased a gigantic mansion and an excessive amount of shirts in order to attract Daisy (or is it Rhododendron), the love of his life, who turns out to be about as interesting as petrified wood. Daisy’s liberal sexual attitude is appropriately symbolized by a green light at the end of Gatsby’s dock LETTERS sororities. The behavior patterns described in the survey come from scholarly studies on fraternities and sororities in the past. These were not accusations aimed at W&L. It is also not to suggest that this is evident in every fraternity and sorority in the nation. The study merely attempts to study gender roles that emerge from the possible influence of these institutions. Perhaps the study will indicate that the ideas, and even biases, toward these institutions are unfounded. I welcome any indication that this is true. In order to prove this one way or the other, however, the survey is necessary. This study is in no way a liberal crusade to wipe out sororities and fraternities on this Once attention. .-1 campus. It is also in no way sponsored by the administration. I am simply writing a paper for a sociology class. I realize that fraternities have been under great scrutiny lately, which explains in part the defensive attitude. This attitude is understandable. I only hope that a system that is working so hard to maintain a respectable image on campus will have enough confidence in itself to answer this survey honestly so that the attitudes on this campus can be conveyed. again, I misunderstanding. Thank you for your time and Cammie Seymour, ’90 (had she been virtuous the light would have been red). At the end of the novel, Gatsby is murdered in his swimming pool by a minor character. The point of the novel is obvious: if you live in the wasteland and have a swimming pool, watch out for minor characters who might try to murder you. My confidential sources have informed me that next year’s FD theme will be The Industrial Revolution and that the gym will be appropriately decorated with sulfur- dioxide emissions and noisy factory machines (at least we have something to look forward to). Self-proclaimed FD-theme specialist, Alan Herrick, predicts that the 1992 theme will be The Cold War (one can only guess how the gym will be decorated for this one). Before I end this column, I’d just like -to rerriind underage readers that the consumption of alcoholic beverages by anyone under 21 years of age is illegal in the state of Virginia (my probation officer said he’d lcnock a month off of my sentence for mentioning this fact). Of course, Gatsby lived during prohibition and served grain punch, champagne and Old Milwaukee Beer at his parties, so I wouldn’t be overly concerned with this rule. apologize for any 7 ¢ % t?

With that cliange WVLI will be able to reach listeners as far away as Staunton and Waynesboro to the north, and Bu- clianan to the south. 4 The station currently serves the Rockbridge County area with an adult contemporary format, said Putbrese. , Putbrese said there were two rdasons for the change in format. First, there is no classic rock station in the Staunton area. “We wanted to fill the void,” said Putbrese, “there is. no classic (rock) station now.” Second, Putbrese said he wants to atiract a greater listening audience from the local colleges. Mary Bald- win College in Staunton, Sweet Briar Cbllege in Amherst, and Randolph Macon Woman’s College in Lynch- burg, will be able to receive the more powerful signal. Washington and Lge, VMI and Southern Sem are within the current coverage area. S Putbrese expects the change in format to take place around April 15. ’ WVLI will not begin transmitting with a more powerful signal until a l AC from page 1 site for a new tower is approved, said Putbrese. Putbrese said the approval process takes about six months, but they wanted to change to classic rock before then so they can work out the new format. Putbrese said that responses to the change have been “very positive in Staunton and Waynesboro and among regional advertisers, especially beer companies." Putbrese said that clas- sic rock generally carries a listening audience between the ages of 18 and 49, and those listeners are primarily male. WVLI is considering a site on the Blue Ridge for its new transmitting tower, said Putbrese. The tower will be about 250 feet tall.‘ .,Right now the station’s transmitter is near a garbage dump north of Buena Vista, said Putbrese. ' There are several criteria that must be met before the new tower will be approved, said Putbrese. The Federal Aviation Administration must approve the tower to make sure it will not interfere with air traffic in the area, and the FCC must be sure that the transmissions will not interfere with the quiet zone that surrounds the Green Bank observatory in West Virginia, Putbrese said. The tower also must receive zon- ing approval, said Putbrese, and have certification that radiation levels from the tower will be safe for animals and people. At three kilowatts, WVLI was certified as a class A station bv the FAA. ¢ niify and sorority members influence grgater than their representation al- lows for. ¢Atkins noted that the recommen- dation brought to SAC by the Panhel- lcriic Association “ was a rational and" natural continuation of the thought process that was in place when the SAC was established in the mid-seventies. ’ ’ ‘Nancy Mitchell, president of the Pa hellcnic Council, said, “SAC considered the proposal for many weeks, and a lot of discussion went into it.

CEO stresses role of ads By Blair Simmons Staff Reporter Calling advertising one of the most sought after assets America can offer the Eastern Bloc, Time, Inc. Chief Executive Officer Reginald Brack, '59, said advertising is the key to a free economy and a free press. Advertising increases sales vol- ume, making mass production practi- cal and bringing down prices, Brack said. Falling prices stimulate compe- tition for better, cheaper products, he said. As advertisements increase their promises of quality improvement, they also implement a program of quality control far beyond what the government could possibly achieve, Brack said. “Advertising is not a science, not a fine art, not show business,” he said. “It is a specialized, commer- cial form of discourse." By pouring money into the media, advertising liberates the press from dependence on federal funds, freeing it from government regulation, Brack said. If advertising spending were re- duced by oriiy five percent, about 140 television stations, 175 newspapers and 1,500 magazines would fold, he said. “Advertising is the most efficient way yet found for a seller to tell a buyer about a product," Brack said. “One. ad in Time magazine reaches 30 million people in 200 countries around the world.” Brack said that he wanted to dispel some of the myths about ad- vertising. He said there is an important distinction between “bad” advertise- merits and “deceitful” ones, calling the latter almost extinct in the nation- al media. Saying that bad advertisements are part of the system, Brack said the fear of litigation and the need to be competitive usually prevent adver- tisers from being intentionally decep- tive. . Brack said he is leaving the United States next week to do market research in the Eastern Block. Spreading information and knowledge is the first priority over there, said Brack, and the American media is trying to help them privatize their press.

Ironically, we in Lexington find ourselves at the center of this conflict, not because of our proximity to Panama, but because the feminists have chosen Virginia Military Institute as an appropriate follow-up to their successful conquest of a dog kennel. Last week, The Ring-tum Phi chose to reprint an editorial that appeared in another collegiate newspaper. This is an unusual occurrence for our school newspaper. Either The Ring—lum Phi staff was too busy publishing the Fancy Dress supple- ment to write their own editorial, or someone believed that the editorial offered a unique and compelling argument for allowing women to fight in combat. Due to the quality of the last week's issue and the article’s weakness, the decision to reprint it must have been primarily due to time restraints on the editorial board; it could not have been for any other reason, because the article offered nothing but an exercise in fallacious rea- soning and feminist rhetoric. In her column, Mary Jo Dumiington stated that women should be admitted to the front lines in the interest of “gender equality." The article admitted that Capt. Bray’s contributions to the conflict were, at best, clouded. More recent reports describe an Army cover-up of women refusing to obey orders, of their emotional breakdowns, and even of Capt. In wars past, men were not sent to the front lines for any other reason than than they were men. We do not honor their physical strength. Bray’s most glorious victory — arriving at a deserted dog kennel. The article in last week's Phi concluded that Capt. Bray’s accomplishments were not due to any military achievement, but because the press referred to her as a soldier, and not a woman. In past wars, have soldiers who captured positions vacated by the enemy, failed to obey orders, or undergone emotional breakdowns during conflict received such attention? Of course not. The only reason that Capt. Bray received any attention whatsoever was because she is a woman. Those who cite the events in Panama as a step toward “gender equality" within the military are only fooling themselves. There is no question that male soldiers have failed to obey orders, suffered emotional breakdowns in the heat of conflict, and even captured abandoned enemy territory. It proba- bly even occurred in Panama. But the American public does not hear about it, and those soldiers do not have their picture on the cover of People or, any other magazine. The issue of women in the military has not opened up any question of “gen-i der equality,” but that of gender inequality. But, since when has gender equality had any- thing to do with war? Men have never been sent to the front lines merely on the basis of physical ability. They were sent because they were men. There are a great many strong and able—bodied men in our Army. Were the United States to reinstitute TALKBACK . What is youropinion of W&L professors’ having to retire at age seventy? Photos by Erik Bertlesen the draft, it is a fair assumption that there would be a great many weak and ill-suited men within the military ranks as well. In wars past, those men sent to the front lines were not sent because they could do a certain number of push—ups, run a given number of miles, or for any other reason except that they were men. We do not honor their physi- cal strength. They fought for their country; they fought for the right to raise their families in a free nation; they fought for the rights of their mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives to enjoy equality. They did not fight for women to become men. At no other point in Western civilization has a nation considered military service either a right of its people, or a privilege. It is, and will remain, a duty. Those calling for women’s placement on the front lines in no way promote gender equality. Aside from the obvious distinctions that are already present in our military for women, they also establish a potentially moral precedent: If we are to place only those women on the front lines who are physically capable of doing so, why shouldn't we do the same for men? Furthermore, if we allow only those women to fight who so desire, why should we not obligate only those men who also desire to fight? If our nation is to defend itself in time of peril, then Mary Jo Dunnington’s argument would not establish anything but a far greater gender inequali- ty than now presently exists. If we as a nation are to follow Mary Jo Dun- nington’s suggestion that military service be dele- gated only to those who wish to fight and those who are capable of doing so, not only is our military in grave danger, but the nation it is intended to protect and the freedoms it upholds.

The key issue concerning the tax, the brief says, is whether student cars are normally “garaged” or “parket ” in Lexington. “All students should first evalu- ate whether or not they maintain an automobile in the City of Lexington for more than six months in any calendar year,” the brief advises. Those who don’t probably do not have to worry about the tax, accord- ing to the brief. Those who do need to find out whether the owner of the car is currently paying a personal property tax on it. The brief next divides students according to whether they are “in- statc” or “out—of-state." “The law is clear,” Falk said. If the city can establish that a vehicle is primarily kept in Lexington, the owner will probably be subject to the tax, although he may be able to obtain a refund later, he said. Students from Virginia may pay the tax, provide proof of having paid elsewhere and request a complete refund. Virginians who do not volun- tarily pay the tax but receive a bill from the city should check to see if their cars were assessed properly, the brief advises. Lexington City Manager Joseph King has said the city may try to re- fund only the difference between the two taxcs, but the SBA brief says case law does not appear to support GENERAL NOTES watching should contact Jason Daywitt at 46441665 or Ken Woodrow at 261-1580.

Stull, “supports the opposite conclusion, that personal property such as an automobile will be taxed in only one Virginia locali- ty,” the brief says. For students not from Virginia, the law provides a “non-resident exemption” that means students who can show they pay property tax else- where do not have to pay it in Lex- ington. Those students may want to simply tell the city that they are not required to pay, the brief advises. But out-of-state students whose cars are not taxed as personal proper- ty “will in all likelihood be required to submit to the tax,” according to the brief. Falk added that students who register to vote in Lexington and own a car are very likely to have to pay the tax. demonstrations of oriental painting on silk and rice paper, pottery and porcelain jewelry-making.

Only eight of the twenty-five ‘players on the pre-season roster are 4 juniors or seniors, and only a few of those are provenperforrners. But the pyouth of the team hasn’t discouraged Stickley. ‘ .' The Generals, who finished tied .for third in the Old Dominion Athlet- ic Conference last season, are picked ‘to‘finish next-to-last this season, no ,doubt because of graduation. Last season, the Generals finished ‘ll-9, 6-6 and made Smith Field a Q ,SPORTS veritable death-trap for opponents, winning seven and dropping only two at home. W&L reached the semi- finals of the ODAC tournament be- fore falling to eventual champion Hampden—Sydney. Stickley makes it clear that his 1990 edition has a lot of work to do. “We are not a very good team right now," he said. “But we have the potential to be as good as we were last year.” Last season's team, which hit .310 as a team and scored 10 runs in a game four times, graduated nine players, none of whom will be easy to replace. Outfielder Tom Skeen and catcher Eddie Klank, the leading power hit- ters will be sorely missed, as will shortstop Harry Halpert, first base- man Max Petzold and third baseman Tony Waskiewicz. The five players started all 20 games a year ago. Skeen and Klank, who combined for six home runs and 37 runs batted in, were second-tearn All-ODAC selec- lions. Also gone are pitchers Mike Tem- ple, David Holland and Chris Cun- ningham. Designated hitter/pitcher The Ring-tum Phi, March 8, 1990 Richard Grace is also gone. Grace and Temple each registered two wins and Grace hit .372 as the designated hitter. Leading the offensive returnees will be senior second baseman and co—captain Bobby Rimmer. Rimmer, a second team All-ODAC player, started every game last season while hitting .351. Joining him will be junior outfielder Tim Wheeler, who hit .323, including a three-run homer in W&L’s 18-8 win at home over Eastern Mennonite in the ODAC tournament. Also returning are sophomore T.J. Daly and senior David Smith. Both will see time at first base and on the mound. Daly hit .467 last season and had a record of 1-3 as a pitcher. Smith was second on the team with three home runs last season. Anchoring the pitching staff for the Generals will be last year’s Freshman Athlete-of-the-Year Steve Momorella. The sophomore had a record of 6-0 in seven starts with three complete games and one shut- out. Momorella got the win over Eastern Mennonite in the ODAC toumey. Sophomore outfielders Brian Harp- Youth to be served on Smith Field er and Pete Klingelhofer will also add valuable experience to this year’s team. The pair combined to start 25 games last season while driving in 15 runs. Junior Chris Kavanagh will look to take over the catching chores from Klank. Stickley will look to sophomores Jason Hendricks and Toby McCoy along with freshman Justin Denny to contribute on the mound this season. The ODAC, which gets tougher every year, may be even more trouble this year. Perennial power Lynchburg is as strong as ever and the league's coaches like the Hornets to win it all. Other strong squads include Hamp- den-Sydney, Bridgewater and new league acquisition Virginia Wesleyan. Youth, inexperience, uncertainty are the watchwords for W&L baseball this spring. But Stickley plans to throw a few curves at those who picked his team to finish last. “Things might be slow at the beginning because of our inexperi- ence, but we could be a fine team at the end of the season. Our goal is to do as well as we did last season, and I think potentially we can be that good. But we've got to get much better than we are now.” ‘ IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII From Staff Reports Washington and Lee junior Carl Gilbert, who met the Divi- sion III national qualifying stan- dard in the triple jump in early February, has been selected to compete in the NCAA Division 9 III Indoor Track Championships, which will be held Friday and ’ Saturday at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. Gilbert, W&L’s multi—purpose performer who was named Old Dominion Athletic Conference Indoor Track Athlete of the Year at the Feb. 24 ODAC Champion- ships, was one of 11 participants SPORTS NOTEBOOK selected to compete in the triple jump. The national triple jump preliminaries and finals will begin on Saturday at 10 a.m. Gilbert, from Bassett, Va., equaled the Division III qualify- ing standard with his leap of 46- 11 at the VMI Winter Relays on Feb. 10. Gilbert, the only Divi- sion III athlete to place in the meet, finished third in the event. Gilbert is currently ranked seventh in the nation in the triple jump. The top six finishers at nationals earn Division III All- America honors. W&L has never had a Division III All-American in indoor track. From Staff Reports Washington and Lee freshman Claire Dudley, the 1990 Old Dominion Athletic Conference Swimmer of the Year, will seek to become the third woman in W&L history to earn NCAA Division III All—America standing when she competes at the national championships at Williams Col- lege in Williarnstown, Mass. Dudley will swim in the 200- yard individual medley, the 100- yard breaststroke and the 200- yard breaststroke. Dudley, from Jacksonville, Fla., is currently ranked fifth in the nation in the ‘ 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:31.45. At the ODAC and Atlantic States Championships, Dudley won the 100 and 200 breast- strokes. She finished third in the 400 individual medley in the ASC competition and won the 400 individual medley in the ODAC meet. Dudley, who will swim in the nationals March 8-10, holds three school records, including the 400 individual medley, the 100 breast- stroke and the 200 breaststroke.
