Friday’s Tear Night should prove less chaotic than in yutrs past, or so the IFC hopes. Last spring’s decision by the Interfratemity Council to try to calm things down on Tear Night goes into effect Friday. Where fraternities in the past have indulged in beer slides, wrestling . and excessive drinking, this year they will experiment with coats, ties and sit-down dinners. The new regulations mandate that all bids be accepted ween 5 and 8 p.m. No alcohol can be served then.

Jimmy Walsh, editor of The Foot- bridge, disputed an editorial last week in The Ring-tum Phi claiming his pub- ligation had not accomplished its goal becoming a viable news magazine. “I’m disappointed (with the ruling) because we felt that the magazine added value to the university community in a number of different ways,” Walsh said after the decision was rendered. “They ‘sgid we had a liberal agenda, but they uldn’t back it up.” Walsh also said the magazine would not have relied on the Pub Board for printing costs. Last fall, the Pub Board voted to partially fund two issues of a news magazine on a trial basis and then de- dde whether to grant the magazine membership on the board. Walsh and Associate Editor Alex Ruskell said they could choose to try to overturn the ruling by going to the EC, but they will make that decision later. The Footbridge produced two edi- Qons last year and is currently gearing up for a mid- to late-October indepen- dent edition.

The science center will be the fourth in a series of seven major building projects being paid for by the current dents Leroy C. “Buddy" Atkins agreed about the priorities but said he thinks the proposed student center would add a sense of commu- nity to W&L that does not exist now because so many students live off cam- pus. . “If it weren’tfor Rush,” Atkins said, “freshman men and women would never meet any upperclass students.” Elrod said three architectural firms will present models and price tags for the science center to the university by Nov. 15. He said he hopes construction of the new building and renovations of Parmly and Howe will take no more than three and a half years. During that time, students will have to “work around” the construction.

Head Dorm Counselor Phil Spears said new alarms have been installed that buzz loudly when a door to a girls’ hall has been left open more than 45 seconds. “Doors being propped open have been in the past a security risk, an invitation to danger,” Spears said. Another change is the addition of a security guard who patrols both the freshman and upperclass dorms from Wednesday to Sunday, 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. The presence of the guard has eliminated the dorm counselor on-call program. According to Elizabeth Currall, head resident assistant in Gaines Hall, there was no apparent need for an on-call R.A. Spears said having security officers patrolling in the dorms offers a more secure atmosphere, especially for freshmen. He said the on-call program is urmecessary. Senior Erika Lee disagrees. “As a freshman you need to have a dorm counselor 24 hours a day for personal emergencies or medical emergen- cies,” Lee said. Security also has a new Suzuki Sidekick which students may call to get rides when they feel uncomfortable walking home, Director of Security Mike Young said. But he asked that students not abuse the service. Despite the changes, some women, especially in the freshman dorms, have complaints. “'I'here’s no way to check if someone is a welcome guest at 3 a.m. or if someone doesn't belong there,” freshman Karlene Jennings said. “We’ve had drunk people mnning down our halls at 3 am.” Freshman Colleen Thompson said she still worries about the possibility of rape on campus. “I’m worried about it because there is too much drinking, and therefore, people aren’t in their right state of mind," Thompson said. “Anything can happen. I never go any- where alone and I always make sure I lock my door.” But Ashley Bell, ’96, said security at W&L is more reasonable than at other schools. “At a lot of schools I’ve been to you have to have security cards to get into the building,” Bell said.

Students from all over campus participate in the ritual opening of EC budget-hearing season next week, in a four-day ceremony. Each campus group comes before the Executive Committee and performs its dance. It’s the EC’s job to distribute among these groups the student activities dollars. This year the EC will have more money to allot. This year’s increase in the student activities fund will put about $30,000 more in the coffers. With all those organizations parading through the EC room for their piece of the pie, things can get a little hairy. Perennial battles ensue. Questions arise about how last year’s money was spent. The issue of organizations’ political ideologies breaks out. EC members debate procedure (it’s not written down anywhere how all this is supposed to be done). Essentially, it gets really hot and sweaty in there. So we ’ve thrown together some ideas we hope EC members might keep in mind throughout the tumult. The EC policy of not endorsing organizations that exist primarily to espouse a stated or demonstrated, culturally or politically partisan ideology is wise. This guards against student dollars going to support causes antithetical to many students’ beliefs, and it keeps the student govemrrient above petty political battles among rival groups. The EC is also wise to consider how many students benefit from a petitioning group ’s activities. Though the EC has habitually asked this question in the past, there have been some startling inequities. The Soccer Club last year received $245, which seems reason- able. But Club Rugby received $921, Women's Club Basketball $1,020, and Club Ice Hockey $1,500. Those figures seem dispro- portionate to the number of students who benefit from club sports. The Independent Union received $2,100 last year, and the new Exhibitionist Drama Club received $500. Again, student participa- tion in these organizations does not seem to warrant those kinds of expenditures. Moreover, there is an alarming trend in budget requests. Harking back to the financial games of 1989, the last time the EC determined budget allocations primarily by taking a percentage of the requests, organizations generally are asking for more money each year than increased costs could begin to justify. The EC is therefore forced to make bigger and bigger cuts each year, and there is constant pressure to raise the student activities fee, which hardly need be done as much as it has. W ‘ One might think there is some intentional inflation -of budget requests going on in this most trusting of communities. ’ In looking at the budget this year, we recommend the EC draw a distinction between groups which serve solely their members and groups which serve the university community. The former need not be barred from allocations, but their requests should be scrutinized with skeptical care. The latter-type group should receive the bulk of the allocations. Another perennial battle concerns the Student Bar Association. In the past, SBA’s requests have exceeded the amount of dollars put into the pot by law students. The EC is in the habit of cutting the SBA request to an allotment that hovers aroimd the amount law students contribute. But because of raised voices and veiled threats of law- school secession from student government, the EC undergraduates are always made to feel like they walked the edge of a cliffin cutting SBA’s request at all. Don’t. Law students benefit from almost all of the services of the other organizations, including and especially the Student Activities Board. The SBA allotment should be less than the sum of 1aw—student dollars in the activities fund. This year’s big players will probably be the SAB, SBA, Contact and publications. As well it should be, as these groups strive to serve large groups of students in the university community. But the EC should be careful to look at all requests in terms of the number of students served, and with a critical eye. .3 ~;p‘ hi — CL, RP, LA, GP Zillir fling-trim iflltt Executive Editors . . . . . . . . . .Cathryn Lopiccolo, Richard Peltz News Editors . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Leigh Allen, Gregory Patterson Editorial Page Editor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The system made sure of that. Some of these options involved putting on a uniform. Dan Quayle chose the Indiana National Guard. Bill Clinton agreed to join ROTC at the University of Arkansas law school. Neither course was overly frought with danger. Quayle stayed in Indiana. Had Clinton pursued ROTC, he could have delayed his military service four more years. As a law graduate, he could ‘have delayed his military service four more years. As a law graduate, he - could have expected to spend his Army years not leading soldiers in battle but de- fending or prosecuting them in court. ' Had young Bill Clinton taken this route, he would not be taking flak today for dodging front-line service in an unpopular war. He would be reveling in applause for having done his duty. Such is the hypocrisy that fogs our rear-view look at the countiy’s least popular war. . Clinton’s critics continue to divide his generation between those who supported their country in time of peril and those who did not. In fact, there were numerous ways to avoid both the horror of front-line Viemarn service and the ignominy of the draft dodger. Some of these options were in the military itself. Unlike World War . 11, Vietnam was an inland war, fought in the fields and jungles, witlfihe infantry and the Marines facing the worst of it. The decision to join the National Guard, the Coast Guard, even the Navy meant taking on far better odds of avoiding front-line combat. Safe billets could be found even in the Army. A graduate school classmate of mine managed to get himself a direct commission as a finance officer. ‘ Draft-age Americans had other opportunities for a deferment: the CHRISTOPHER MATTHEWS Tribune Media Services Fresh-meat myth shatters MY VIEW By Kris Lawrence, ’96 Capri Suns. I was very impressed by the gentlemanly behavior of the two guys. After we got past talking about the naked women poster on Freshman meat! To tell you the truth, that’s exactly what I thought I would be labeled as when I arrived at W&L this fall. Every year my college friends would come home from freshman term and tell me horror stories about being scammed on and gave me the ‘be careful’ lecture. My first night at W&L, I was determined to not be fooled by the fraternity guys. ‘ N o, I would be smarter than that,’ I told myself. No beer, no ‘house tours’ that lead to the bedroom, and Icertainly would avoid ‘can I see your dorm room?’ But, I still thought in the back of my mind that just maybe W&L would be different. While experimenting with the speaking tradition, I met two fraternity guys. My friends and I walked back to the house and I wondered if I would feel pressured to drink a beer. I was shocked to find a fridge full of cokes and milk. Now don’t get me wrong there was a complete stock of beer but they were more than willing to give out their the wall, the conversation became almost intellectual. Hours of conversation from about everything from Spariky’s to my fa- vorite grocery store turned to a discussion about God. All the while, I thought to myself, could this be true? Nobody was trying to get me drunk and into bed. All those stories told by experienced freshman were completely opposite from what I was experiencing right then and now. Yes, maybe W&L was different. What other schools have guys that want to talk divorce instead of sex? While on the escorted walk, one of the guys discovered my coffee maker was not working and offered to fix it. Now all of you are probably thinking he was planning to make his move then. Wrong! He fixed it, set my timer, and left. thanks. After years of ‘freshman meat’ stories, I discovered I wasn't meat, but just a fresh- man! The guys are great! You guys know who you are, congratulations! You changed my pessirriistic view on dirty frat houses—— Peace Corps, VISTA, high school teaching, uniformed commissiog in the National Health Service. What did all these options, uniformed and civilian, share in com- mon? All required that the applicant possess the ability and the resources necessary for a college education. If you had the money, the talent and the parents to find your way to higher education, you had the key to avoiding the draft. Deferrnents after college were granted to those who had qualified for deferrnents by going to college in the fgst place. - Why were the well-off protected this way? Interesting question. Why was my own graduating class, that of 1967, given a one-year “moratorium” to attend graduate school? Probably because President Lyndon wanted to cut the steam from the growing anti-war movement one more year. Why did my Peace Corps contingent receive, along with our letter of acceptance, an unsolicited offer of draft counseling? Why did Hie relinquish our deferrnents a_month early so as to technically qualify us for the 1970 draft call —— which had already been completed. The effect was to exempt us from the draft altogether, since we would not then be eligible for a Selective Service call in 1971 or later. Probably for the same reason the Selective Service system spent so much of its other energies back then preserving attractive, non-fightiflg options for America’s better-off young men: to reduce anti-war oppo- sition among those with the money, the clout and the voice to effec- tively protest the war. This much, at least, needs to be remembered as voters consider the relevance of the Democratic nominee’s presidential qualifications: Bill Clinton’s ultimate refusal to accept one of those attractive, non- fighting options to Vietnam or resistance is less a discredit to him mm it is to the system that offered them. © 1992 Tribune Media Services, Inc.

Since then Carol Moseley Braun has been surfing on a wave of friendly (sometimes swooning) media attention. Williamson, noting that her name is now better known than the govemor’s, knows he must change the contest from a choice between ‘ ‘a 43-year-old white guy and a 44-year-old black woman with a nice smile.” Sitting in her county building of- fice, smiling serenely, she seems to know what he says he knows: Other things being equal, in a contest today between a man and a woman, 50 per- cent of voters are indifferent, 10 per- mg.

But to Williarnson’s charge that she is a “far-out left-wing liberal” from “the Chicago machine,” she replies, smiling, that the charge is “an oxymo- ron” because the machine is inhospi- table to far-out left-wing liberals.

It is simply tragic to walk through this campus and see signs besrnudging the names of presidential candidates.

Slan- dering campaign candidates or other persons is a childish tactic. Fine. Feel free to support your presidential choice.

Kathryn Noel Barbour, '93 secretary of state cable us in Africa two years later, urging us to I LETTERS tional a Democrat as he was a Repub- lican. She wants to raise taxes on the reptilian rich, “to invest” in this and that, and to siphon off more federal dollars for Illinois, which she says ranks 48th among the states in the ratio of dollars sent to Washington and dollars returned. She expects to get to the sen- ate partly because ‘ ‘the senate demystified itself” in the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill debacle. She does not mean, as some journalists have suggested, that most women are, or were, inflamed with sympathy forHill. They weren’t. Rather, she means that the senate Judiciary Committee con- vinced people that you could not throw rice in a restaurant without hitting half a dozen people who would be better senators. Fewer than three in 10 of the state's votes are cast in Chicago and Williamson hopes that downstate vot- ers are still Chicagophobic. But they do not dislike Democrats. Today most downstaters are represented by Demo- cratic majorities in both houses of the state legislature. Williamson believes Braun wasted her post-prirriary glow, much as Bush wasted his after Desert Storm. Williamson says she failed to produce an agenda beyond her persona. But her persona is much of her agenda, which is to ‘ ‘open the senate to working-class people.” On those terms, all she has to do to succeed in the Senate is get there. Williamson feels dragged down by Bush who, he says, is perceived as intolerant on moral issues and injuri- ous to the economy. Democrats - lieve Braun will help Clinton by - creasing Chicago’s turnout, especially black voters. Since the Democrats’ ri- otous convention of 1968, no Demo- cratic presidential candidate has won a majority of votes in the city and its suburbs. ‘ Illinois is, as Michael Barone says in “The Almanac of American Poli- tics,” the megastate most representa- tive of Blacks and Hispanics, city- dwellers and suburbanites and farm- ers, the affluent and the impoverished. It also is a presidential bellwether, hav- ing voted for the winner in all butt 0 elections in the last 100 years. (It voted against two Southern Democrats - Wilson in 1916 and Carter in 1976.) Considering that Dukakis got 49 per- cent of Illinois’ vote in 1988, Clinton’s lead today is not surprising. Strange, the way political evens echo and ricochet. If, as many political soothsayers believe, the presidential election will be settled in the Middle West, the decision may be shaped by what happened in Illinois’ Senate pri- mary last March. © 1992, Washington Part Writers Group 0 To the Editor, As editor of The Footbridge magazine, I feel compelled to answer last week’s editorial, ‘ ‘A Footbridge for the Future.’ ’ I offer the following objections both for the factual inaccuracies and for what I believe to be an error in judgment. Your editorial stated that the Pub Board paid $500 to help the magazine get started. In fact, the actual amount was $350. I say this not to belittle the Board’s generous contribution, but only to set the record straight. ' In addition, the editorial listed what it believed to be the six big stories at W&L last year (emphasis mine), saying that “None of these stories was covered in the pages of The Footbridge.” In fact, three of those stories: rapes on campus, the CRC, and the reinstitution of Alpha Phi Alpha were discussed in the second issue.

Economic treaty benefits all parties NIY VIEW ByJohn M. Gunn On Aug. 12 the chief executives of Canada, the United States and Mexico took a great step forward for the peoples of these countries when they signed a . treaty to establish the North American Free Trade Afisociation (NAFTA). When ratified, this treaty w 1 create the largest free-trade area in history, larger, even, than the European Community. I be- lieve this treaty will prove to be one of the most important economic events in the history of the United States and of all North America—indeed, another milestone toward fuller integration of the entire global economy. ‘There will be transitional problems of adjustment inalltl1reecountries:(1)Some temporaryunemploy- merit is inevitable as resources shift from compara- tively less efficient employrnents to comparatively more efficient ones; (2) Some permanent decline will occur in particular industries, and inparticular 1ocali- 1‘ ties, in each country, as the more effective structure V oflproduction evolves; and (3) Some laborers may have to make geographical moves they do not like, and both some laborers and some investors from the declining industries will suffer at least relative, per- manent declines in their incomes. When the restructuring of industry throughout the continent has been completed there will be more real production in the aggregate, in each country. Re- sources no longer needed to produce what formerly they were producing (inefficiently), become avail- able to produce additional goods and services the nations previously could not have had. Thus, there will be a higher average real wage and higher stan- dard of living in each country. In addition, it is highly probable, though not quite certain, that the distribution of income will be im- proved, even as the average increases. In general, it will be those who had the higher incomes previously (those whose resources were “relatively scarce”) who lose and those whose incomes were lower (own- ers of the “relatively abundant” resources) whose incomes will be increased most by increasing trade. The gains will NOT be equal in all three countries. We are a disparate group of three countries who enter into this arrangement-—the advariced and ‘wealthy USA ‘and Canada, with the much less developed, much less well-to-do Mexico. The USA, already the world’s largest and most diverse economy, has the least to gain from addi- tional specialization and trade according to compara- tive costs. Mexico, by contrast, should gain the most proportionately. But all will gain substantially. Moreover, the USA and Canada, can have nothing but benefit from a more prosperous, more stable Mexico. And even from the point of view of the world’s environment, experience has been that the nations with the highest per capita real incomes are the ones taking the most action to preserve the envi- ronrnent—raising the income of Mexico will enable that country to contribute more to the global effort for sustainable lifestyles. The treaty is far short of an ideal one. There are some outrageous, special-interest exceptions in it. But including these special-interest, monopolistic provisions apparently was the price of getting the treaty signed. Once NAFTA is established confi- dently, we can work to remove these unjustified subsidies to special-interest groups. Half a century ago the late Wendell Wilkie argued that the most critical factor in the economic develo - ‘merit ofthe'USAto‘that date was that it was the iarg t free-trade area on earth. Now it is about to become a much larger one. John M. Gunn has been an Associate Professor of economics at W&L since 1967.

So even if one ac- CQNS your definition of news at W&L as simply “the big six” stories, the Footbridge did deem some of them as worthy of elaboration. Another point rriade in the editorial was that The Footbridge was created only to be a news magazine. In fact, if y&i look at the credo and the mission statement of the rriagazine —the guide- lines setby the Pub Board—there is no mention that the publication should cover hard news at all. fact I spotted in your editorial, they point to what I feel was an error in judgment. You stated that articles which are intended for entertainment, such as Alex Ruskell’s “Why I Love Elvis” piece, may be enjoyable to read but their ‘ ‘value in a campus magazine is at best, debatable.” Cannot a magazine which extends beyond the same six stories which are the focus of every issue of the Phi be valuable? I believe so. I suggest that if a magazine encour- ages students to take the time to work on skills such as writing articles, man- aging funds, selling ads and learning what makes a publication work — t is valuable. Also, if it attracts readers to examine writing with amixture of plea- sure and criticism, (and judging from the verbal and written responses to our first two issues, The Footbridge did) it is even more valuable. I regret that you do not see the “value” of our magazine, but I am grateful for the staff and readers who do. Sincerely, Jimmy Walsh The Footbridge ‘ .

Why do people turn to ho- mosexuality and can they be helped? Homosexuality is a subject everyone thinks : about at one time or another, but most people have trouble talking about objec- tively. There is a lot of misunderstanding. College students are often afraid to ask questions for fear of being labeled, so these misunderstandings tend to persist. Homosexuality is no longer considered a psychiatric illness, yet gay men and lesbians need a great deal of personal strength and courage to face the enormous pressure from straight society. On a personal level, you don’t have to approve of or accept homosexuality. That's your own business. But at a social level it is not acceptable and may even be illegal to harass people about their sexual orientation. In fact gay men and lesbians are everywhere in society but, because many of them feel they must remain hidden to be safe, they are largely an invisible minority. Over the years I have counseled many gay men and some lesbians, both in the undergraduate student body and the law school. They are represented in the major Greek organizations, student government, dormitory counselors, Phi Beta Kappa and Renovated Troubadour Theatre opens See y’a|| at the movies By JOYCE BAUTISTA m°Vle5- Feanues “It [the Troubadour] -————————— can be used for meetings It once served, at dif- but films have priority,” ferenttirnes,asapool hall, Eppes said. 9 roller rink and hardware The opening is being store. paid for through the Stu- But tomorrow evening’s black-tie event marks the return of the Troubadour Theatre to one of its former uses as a movie house. “The Troubadour has been turned into a first- rate university cinema,” Washington and Lee Dean dent Activities Budget,_ Associate Dean of Stu- dents Leroy “Buddy” Atkins said.

A number of people op- pose it on religious grounds and in some places homosexual acts are passing for straight. Often their best friends were heterosexual. A lesbian or gay male almost never will approach a straight per- illegal, even between consenting adults behind closed doors. Heterosexuals ask, “How could anyone do sexual things with someone of their own sex?” The answer is not completely known. Homosexual- ity has existed since mankind has kept records and occurs among all cultures. It does not seem related to intelligence, social class or race. Males are somewhat more likely to be homosexual than females at a ratio of something like 2 to 1 or 3 to 2. The actual amount of homosexuality in American society is estimated to be 3 to 6 percent of women and 6 to 9 percent of men. The number of males who have en- gaged in at least one homosexual act lead- ing to orgasm may be as high as 20 percent. Researchers are more and more coming to believe that homosexuality is caused by a complex combina- tion of factors that include both genetic predisposition and environmental influence. A large number of gay men and lesbians realized they were different even as children. One thing is certain: people don’t consciously choose their sexual orientation, they discover it. Straight people may not realize that gay men and lesbians are usually surprised and, until they accept their orientation, troubled by their homosexual feel- ings. Society frequently treats them with disdain, thus forcing them either to hide their orientation or experi- ence rejection and condemnation. son. The only time I have known that to happen was when the straight person (knowingly or not) sent some confusing signals about what they wanted to happen. Gays and lesbians know that a straight person won’t be interested in them physically and respect that. Sexual preference is not related to how well you can play your gender role or how secure you feel in your masculinity or femininity. Gay men can be very masculine and lesbians very comfortable with their femininity. On the other hand, people can have ter- rible doubts about their adequacy as males or females yet not be at all homosexual. ’ Since homosexuality is no longer con- sidered a psychiatric illness, mental health professionals have stopped using the word “cure.” If an individual has homosexual feel- ings but is sufficiently bisexual that they can be- come romantically attracted to members of the opposite sex, it is possible for them to marry, have children and lead a heterosexual lifestyle. ‘ However, individuals who are only weakly or not at all interested in members of the opposite sex cannot change their orientation. Neither drugs nor counseling seem to make any difference. They can be celibate of course and attempt to mimic a heterosexual adjustment, but for them this would be to live a lie. It would also deny them the intimacy and companionship all human beings need.Accepting oneself as gay or lesbian is not always easy, nor is it easy for many straight folks to deal with the real or suspected homosexuality of someone they know. of Students David for the renovation came Howison said.

Even with this enthusiasm one can see that he does not bear ill will to- wards Russians, a popular animosity that has caused problems in a different part of the former union for Kryuchenkova’s family. They used to vacation ir1 Georgia (one of the former fifteen republics of the USSR), but now ethnic violence against Russians prevents her farni1y’s return. When the conversation turned to W&L’s Honor System, the students spoke with great pride that they were able to take part in such a unique sys- tem. “A system like this would never work at home it’s really amazing how seriously it is taken here,” Japanese student Daisuke Kusaka says, lower- ing his voice to emphasize his words. Kusaka wanted to gain a new per- spective of his home country by expe- riencing the completely different ways of the United States. As an exchange student from Kansai Gaidai University in Osaka, he is study- ing sociology for one year. With a smile or laugh or a pat on the back of his friends, Kusaka shows that he enjoys the company of his new schoolmates. Rocio Grimaldo came from Panama City, Panama to study journalism. She was very excited because her parents had just sent her a box full of her favorite Latin music stars’ cas- settes that she can put with her Ameri- can music collection. She melds the two cultures of Panama and the USA together and is comfortable with all people, no matter what their background.

The discussion turned to the con- tinuing Russian oc- cupation of the Japanese Kuriie is- lands, captured in the closing days of World War II and never returned to Japan. “I believe that history is history and wecan’tchange v it. We must respect the generation of Russians who now lives on the islands; I don’t see any rea- son to give them back to Japan,” Kryuchenkova ar- es. “I think the Rus- sians should just keep them; it was the Japanese who started the aggression,” Kusaka agreed. When Grimaldo and Kryuchenkova walked several miles to Kmart recently to do some shopping, they were sur- prised by the reactions of some Ameri- can students, who were amazed that they had willingly walked so far. “Americans are so used to going everywhere in cars. In Panama we think nothing of walking, but Americans can be lazy sometimes when it’s easier to get in a car,” Grimaldo explained. With a familiar guitar strain coming from the living room, all heads craned to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers on MTV, followed soon by the attached bodies dancing in front of the screen. The talk was finished, but it was clear that the evening had helped each student understand the others’ opin- ions better and respect more other peoples’ customs and ideas. 6 In ACROSS 1 Festive 5 Feel one's way to Happiness 14 Slaughter of baseball 15 Flaxen cloth 16 Garnet and coral 17 Over all 18 Notions 19 Sts. 20 Does again 22 Manner of preparing food 24 Slice 25 Vaticinators 26 Abuse 30 Thawed 34 Yoko — 35 Protective mail 37 Probe 38 Animal fat 40 Fathers 42 Control strap 43 Caper 45 Counts calories 47 Play a part 48 Used car deal 50 Fundamental parts 52 Stores 54 Got the prize 55 Vacuum 58 Tired looking 62 Cease 63 Wild eseapade 65 Land expanse 66 Stare at amorously 67 Weary 68 Man 69 Look intently 70 Winter vehicles 71 Noble Italian family DOWN 1 Outfit 2 Poker stake 3 Lariat part 4 Side 5 Shines brilliantly 6 Frees (from) 7 Small bill 8 Serenity 9 Came after Colonnade Crossword @1992 Tribune Media Services, inc.

Republican Bob Goodlatte, ’77L, and Democrat Steve Musselwhite will debate national economic policy is- sues on Sept. 28 at7p.m. inLee Chapel. Cottie Miles, president of the Pi Sigma Alpha politics honor society, a debate sponsor, said Washington and Lee is the perfect place for the event. “We couldn't have asked for a bet- ter location. Lexington is located in the center of District 6, right between Roanoke and Staunton,” Miles said. “Also, the fact that it is being held on campus in Lee Chapel gives the stu- dents access.” Though the focus of the debate will be on the economy, Miles said students will be able to ask the candidates about any issue. “I hope that the student body gets involved in this and comes out to meet the candidates and help decide who will be the next congressman,” Miles said. Miles said Musselwhite is the fa- vorite in the race because Democrats have held the seat for the past 20 years. Bob Denton, a politics professor I from VirginiaPo1ytechnic Institute, will _ __ moderate the debate. The event is sched- uled to last about 75 minutes.

Eleven new faculty members in nine departments are teaching classes for the first time here this fall. “I’m very pleased with my classes so far,” Professor of Religion Winston Davis said. “Despite Rush, students are still prepared." Davis, a specialist in Japanese Bud- dhism, taught at six different schools, including Stanford and Princeton, be- fore coming to W&L. He has written two books and several articles on Japa- nese Buddhism and related topics. Heather Miller, a new professor of English, said she is looking forward to working with her students. “I ’m very impressed by the quality of work at the undergraduate level here,” Miller said. Miller, who will teach creative writ- ing, is the author of five novels, a volume of short prose, four poetry vol- umes and has had several poems pub- lished in literary journals. Before com- ing to W&L, Miller taught a creative writing program at the University of Arkansas. Assistant math professor Douglas Szajda said he already feels at home at W&L. “It’s a lot like my undergraduate school,” Szaj da, who went to Lafayette College, said. “It’s a very pretty cam- pus and everyone seems very friendly.” Other faculty members new to the Hill this fall are Hugh Blackmer and Betty Ruth Kondayan in the University Library, Evan Bridenstine in the the- atre department, Agnes Carbrey in the art department, Malcolm Crystal in history, Jonathan Filer and David Jorgensen in geology and Domnica Radulescu in the romance languages department. Miller said W&L is just what she was looking for. “I wanted a good school in a good area with a good writing program,” Miller said. “I’m in love with W& .” Post office boxes restricted for safety By NIKKI MAGAZINER Phi Staff Writer If your post office box happens to belocated in the leweri level of the Lexington Post Office this year, don’t>t_ry to get”? to it after the main office closes. . According to Postmaster Larry Creamer, the lower level boxes will only be accessible to postal patrons from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, for safety reasons. Creamer said the Lexington Police Department recom- mended the lower level be closed after hours because it is not visible from the street. This would increase the likelihood of vandalism to post office property and violent crimes against postal patrons, Creamer said. Lexington Police Chief B.M. Beard expressed a concern over the vandalism. Beard said someone broke into the annex in the middle of the night last year and vandalized some of the boxes. . . Creamer. said that violent crime was also an issue in his éldse the ‘lower level. “No_ rn_o_t_lie_r or father would want their child to be hurt,” .Ahe saigi,jf,W;g,qlso have to look out for female snidents.” Creamer said the post office had considered hiring secu- rity guards to guard the lower level at night but the expense proved to be too high for the post office budget. Creamer said although students may not have full-time access to their boxes, the quality of service to the students has been increased by moving the boxes to the lower level from the annex. He said mail will be placed in the boxes earlier and access to certified mail and packages will be simplified. Dirty House? ' Dirty Bathroom? Dirty Apartment? Call Linda. at 261-4774.

And MOVE. Volleyball comes close to upset By MARK S Phi Contributing Writer Inconsistency hounded the Wash- ingtonandLeevolleyballteamthrough- out the second armual W&L Invita- tional. The Generals finished fourth in the five-team tournament. W&L finished 2-3 for the weekend, defeating Carnegie Mellon and Wash- ington and Jefferson. Their losses were attire hands of Maryville, Sewanee and Goucher. Experience is what the Generals lacked against the defending Old Do- minion Athletic Conference champi- ons, Guilford, last night. W&L’s over- all record stands at 3-4. W&L started the week off well with a surprising 15-12, 15-13 victory over the eventual nrnner-up of the tourna- ment, Carnegie Mellon. However, they were unable to draw on that momentum, and lost to Maryville in quick fashion, 15-8, 15-9. Head coach Kristi Yarter said the team reallycouldn’t get in gear for Maryville. .“We never really showed for that match,” said Yarter. “Everything good that we had established in the first match against Carnegie Mellon de- serted us.” The Generals went on to drop their next two matches, against Sewanee and Goucher, each in three games. In both, W&L managed to win the first game of the match, only to lose the next two. Against tournament cham- _ pion Sewanee, W&L fell 7-15, 15-5, 15-5. In the match versus Goucher, W&L won the first game 15-12, and was leading 13-10 in the second. But Goucher mounted a furious rally to take the game 16-14. Goucher contin- ued to roll, taking the third, 15-6. W&L finished the tournament with a hard-fought 15-6, 2-15, 15-12 win over Washington and Jefferson. The losses showed the Generals’ lack of consistency. Yarter feels the team needs to relax more. “We were very inconsistent; very good at times, very bad at others. The bottom line is that we need to be more consistent to win,” said Yarter. “I’m stressing to the girls to remain calm. If they stay relaxed and in control instead of getting tense we can improve tre- mendously.” The team did show considerable improvementinkills and blocking from the previous weekend’s games at Chris- topher Newport. Senior Leslie Hess had a team-high 23 kills in the touma- ment, while sophomore Jennifer Garrigus and freshman Catherine Hess each added 21. Freshman Chrissy Hart helped so- lidify the defense by leading the team in blocks. “We improved on the two things that I wanted to: serving and block- ing,” said Yarter. “Our form and tim- ing improved on our blocks and we were much more accurate with our serves so we were able to cut down on many of our errors.” The defense continued to be the strongest part of W&L’s game. Leslie Hess finished the five games with 68 digs. Garrigus added 65 digs to her team-leading total of 92 digs this year. Garrigus is now averaging 4.4 digs per e. W&L opened their 1992 ODAC season with a game at the Warner Cen- ter against a solid Guilford team. The defending champs appeared to be over- whelming favorites on paper. On the court, it turned into a spectacular con- test. The Generals continued their early- match domination by winning the open- ing game 15-13. Guilford returned the favor, 15-11 in the second. W&L took the third 15-10, and dropped the fourth 15-5. The two battled back and forth in the fifth and deciding game. The Quak- ers pulled the final one out, 15-12. A tough loss to a heavily-favored team can do one of two things: crush a team, or make them stronger. The team will be put to another test this weekend as they travel to Maryville to compete in the Maryville Tourna- merit. Water polobsats 0 BROWN, from page young and definitely susceptible to making mistakes of inexperience. Against the top-ranked team in the east these mistakes will definitely cost you. and they definitely did. The young W&L team was over- whelmed by Slippery Rock, 19-3. The Generals could not get anything going offensively against the more experi- enced squad; on the defensive end, Slippery Rock’s strength was the key factor. This game topped off a roller coaster-like emotional ride for the young Generals team. W&L ended the weekend at a very respectable 2-2, upping their season mark to 5-2. They are confident, however, that they will bounce back from the two tough losses and head into the Virginia State Championships at Richmond on a strong note. The Generals will be looking for their fourth straight crown this week- end. The competition will be tough, but the Generals can go into action know- ing they have won this tournament three years straight and have beaten two Top 20 teams so far. Classes got you down?

At times the team seemed to be on fire and totally in sync. Other times it seemed that the strength of the highly ranked teams that the Generals faced seemed impossible to overcome. Overall, however, the weekend was an excellent test for the Gener- als and showed the team is ready for the challenges of the rest of the season. The Generals opened up against thepowerful,nationallyranked team from the University of Massachu- setts. Not many will forget that less then one year ago the Generals shocked UMass in the Eastern Championships. “I’ve talked to people who have been followingthe team and UMass hasn’t forgotten about us,” said head coach Page Remillard. “They’ll be gunning for us.” His prediction was correct as UMass overpowered the Generals, 15-7. Senior Chris Hagge led the Generals with two goals in a losing effort. Momentum was definitely Water polo tops Brown for first time against the Generals as they went into an all-important match with 16th ranked Brown University. The game against Brown proved that momentum shifts quickly. Remillard’s troops pulled together to defeat the favored team from Brown. The contest was exciting from the start as both teams battled back and forth. The Generals led 9- 5 at the break and held off the hard- charging team from Rhode Island. W&L pulled out a 14-12 win. Junior Greg Golub led all scor- ers with four goals, while Hagge and senior Andrew Pearson had three apiece. Senior P.J. Waicus had a solid game in goal recording 10 saves. This was the first time W&L defeated Brown. The Generals’ next opponent didn’t have the reputation of their preceding two adversaries, butnev- ertheless provided formidable op- position. Queens College was a tough match and the Generals didn't overlook it. The Generals took the contest 16-12. Hagge, Golub, jun- ior Jacob Berman and freshman Rich Cober all scored three goals in the game. Next up for the Generals was the number one ranked team in the nation. , The game against Slippery Rock showed the Generals are still very [3 See BROWN, pgge, 7 Rolex tennis tourney comes to W&L again From Press Release Washington and Lee will play host again to the Rolex Southeast Tennis Championships this weekend. The tournament, which runs from Sept. 25-27, is usually attended by a number of the best Division III pro- grams in the area. Both singles and doubles titles will be on the line, as will a trip to Corpus Cristi, Texas to compete in the Rolex National Small College Tennis Cham- pionships. Last year, W&L’s own Richard Yates won the tournament and was able to compete against players from other Division III programs from around the country. This year, another General will be one of the favorites. Junior Robbie MacNaughton, who will be W&L’s number one player this season, is expected to challenge for this year’s title. MacNaughton had an outstanding sophomore season, and even pushed Yates in preseason action. This year, he’s expected to fill the gap at No. 1 left by Yates. A number of colleges from the area are expected to compete. Players will be coming from: Washington College, Averett College, Catholic University and Christopher Newport. 1 ‘ After this tournament, the Generals travel to Virginia Tech to take on the Hokies Oct. 1.

Women’ssoccer feels effects of small team Fatigue sets in during Denison; team faces toughest stretch of schedule By JUSTIN MCNAULL Phi Staff Writer When the victorious Big Red of Denison walked off Liberty Hall Fields last Saturday, they left behind a beaten and exhausted Generals squad. The 4-0 defeat, coupled with Friday’sfatiguing 1-0 win over Hollins, taught the Washington and Lee women not just about soccer, but about them- selves. “We learned a lot about how to play through frustration, that we’re in better shape than we thought, and not to count ourselves out,” said head coach Janine Hathom. The home stand started off with a perplexing one goal victory over Hollins in which the Generals out shot Hollins 31-0. Despite their offensive dominance, the Generals were unable to find the back of the net as Hollins’ goalkeeper made 17 saves. “We knew we weren't on, we weren't finishing,” said Hathom. “[Hollins] hung in and played really well." Sophomore Anne Spruill scored the lone goal on senior Susan Moseley’s assist 1:52 into the second half. “Hollins was much tougher than we expected and is a good lesson leamed,” said Hathom, who was surprised at the effort needed to put away Hollins. “They left us pretty whooped to come out and play Denison.” Against a better than expected Denison squad, the Generals played timidly and looked veryuninspired and fatigued. “We were intimidated,” said Hathom, “and when you're tired, the intimidation grows. Even though they’re a good team, we sort of gave them the game.” Denison controlled the ball for most of the game, outshooting W&L 32-1. The powerful Big Red offense beat freshman goalie Mims Rowe twice in each half. Rowe stopped 12 shots, but seemed frustrated and out-of-sync as three other shots bounced off the cross- bar. Injuries forcedtheGenerals, already fielding a reduced squad, to play with- out sophomore Jennifer Lynch and jun- ior Kate Stimeling. Lynch sprained her right ankle and won’t play for at least another week. Stimeling’s injured hip should have healed enough to al- low the junior to play a limited role in today’s game against Randolph-Ma- con College. The Generals will need to be at their finest for today’s showdown with the Yellow Jackets, last year’s Old Do- minion Athletic Conference tourna- ment champions. RMC is 5-0 (3-0 in ODAC) and has outscored their oppo- ' sition 34-1 this season. Last week's 9- 0 triumph over Hollins was capped by seven assists for Jennifer Kohler, an NCAA women’s soccer record. Junior Kathleen Eastland and sophomore Marina Jackson will need to shut do the Yellow Jackets’ potent attack fo the Generals to a chance.

Lewis Is ’ one of the many who must endure long minutes because of the small number of players on this year's squad. Unfortunately for the Generals, the schedule only gets rougher, as they play somg of their main competitors within the next few weeks. The Generals don ’t receive a break as they travel to Baltimore on Saturday to take on a solid College of Notre Dame (Md.) squad. They must then prepare for ODAC foe Roanoke and national powerhouse Mary Washington College the next week. These four games should be a solid preparation for late October’s ODAC tourney, but Hathom admits that “we ’ve . got our work cut out for us.” “Although it wasn’t expectedbthc Denison lesson was perfectly planned,” said Hathom. “It’s the wake up call we needed.” Photo by Jameson Leonardi, The Ring-tum Phi Freshman Josephine Schaeffer rounds the final corner on her way to the finish line. Schaeffer crossed that line with a faster time than any other W&L woman In history. Freshman sh atters CI'OSS._ country course records From Staff Reports Freshman Josephine Schaeffer had a heck of an opening for the Washing- ton and Lee women’s cross country team. Schaeffer competed in her first intercollegiate race Saturday, and by the time it was over, she had broken two records. “.1 was definitely surprised with out- come,” said Schaeffer. “I guess it was one of my best races.” Schaeffer finished the 3.1-mile race in 18:5 3.Thattime was 1:43 fasterthan the course record and :17 ahead of formerGenerals runnerCecilyTynan’s all-course record of 19:09, which was set in 1989. Schaeffer led from start to finish. She forced the main pack of runners to keep up with her from the opening gun, but they weren’t able. Schaeffer trotted to the finish line all by herself. Another freshman, Amy Mears, also topped the old course record by finish- ing with a time of 20:41. Sophomore Kim Herring fin- ished third for the Generals. Despite the good times, W&I. fell to perenial powerhouse Mary Washington, but beat Sweet Briar and Sheperd. Schaeffer says she’s not used to the hills around the course, but be- lieves she can run better. In fact, Schaeffer says that she’s rim a bet-. I ter race. “In high school we only raced three miles instead of the 3.1 miles. and I ran a faster time.” Well, if she can rim a faster time, the Generals are looking at a real possibility of challenging Mary. Washington. But Schaeffer says that she doesn’t feel any reason to put any extra pressure on herself just be- cause of one race. “I’m just going to do the best I can,” said Schaeffer. “I’m just go- ing to run my best.” ’ Satin Shoes dyed in 1 hour Downtown Lexington 3 West Nelson M-F 9:30-5:30 464-6666 Sat. 8:00-12:00 Don’t miss the Phi’s special Homecoming Supplement next week Get a new image...ln A Flash 20x30 COLOR PHOTO POSTER $24.95 WITH COUPON FROM YOUR 55MM COLOR NEGATIVE POSTERS FROM SLIDES OR PRINTS ALSO AVAILABLE 14 E.
