Photo by Leigh Allen, The Ring-tum Phi Public Affairs Director Grace Sarber and President John Ripley show off the new name and logo for Southern Virginia College for Women, formerly Southern Seminary College. Southern Semi_narychanges its name to eliminate religious connotations ' By LEIGH ALLEN and GREGORY PATIEISON Phi News Editors The vocabulary of W&L students was changed forever Tuesday when Southern Seminary Col- lege became Southern Virginia College for Women. Southern Virginia President John Ripley said the new name clears up confusion about the school’s mission. “It says who we are, what we are and where we are, but especially what we are not," Ripley said in a press conference Tuesday. “They see ‘gseminary’ and think we’re a convent.” First-year Southern Virginia student Carolyn Sanders said people from her home state of Michigan were confused by the old name. “They ask me if I’m going to be a nun,” Sanders said while her horse grazed on the front lawn of the college Tuesday morning. “I just quit gelling people where I was going to school.” Ripley said the new name is one in a series of recent changes for the 125-year-old Buena Vista college, aimed at increasing the school’s enroll- ment and academic reputation. Ripley said the name “Southem Seminary” was a detriment in attracting new students. “Hopefully this name will prevent prospec- tive students from walking past our admissions table at recruiting fairs,” said Ripley, who was recently appointed president of the college. “The new name manifests all the changes we made over the summer in the leadership, the adminis- tration and courses.” The college’s colors will also change from purple and gold to brick red and hunter green. Ripley said the new name was selected by the‘ Board of Trustees earlier this month. Students were told of the change at a special assembly Tuesday morning, one hour before it was an- nounced publicly. ’ Although Ripley said most students like the new name, some say they preferred the old one. “I don’t think they should have changed it,” said Wendy Cullen, a senior from Buena Vista. “I’ve lived here all my life and I don’t want it to change. It’s a tradition.” Ripley said an independent researcher gave six names plus Southern Seminary to a group of college students in North Carolina and asked them to rate the names from best to worst. He said a name similar to “Southem Virginia College for Women” was at the top of the list and “Southem Seminary College” was ranked last. Ripley said the class of ’93 will receive diplo- mas from Sem. The class of ’94 will be the first to graduate from Southern Virginia. The college was established in 1867 as The Home School for Girls in Bowling Green, Va., and became Southern Seminary when it moved to Buena Vista in 1901. Since then it has been named Southern Seminary and Junior College, Southern Seminary Junior College and, most recently, Southern Seminary College. Sem alumna Beth Thompson, ’82, said she supports the name change if it helps recruit stu- dents. “Enrollment is down,” Thompson said. “I’d rather be an alum of a college by a different name that’s still standing than one that’s just a vacant building.” , Christine Will, secretary of the College Republicans, said her group will be at the polls in Lexington until they close, and then will watch the results.

Two weeks ago, the house corpora- tion suspended Phi Delt social func- tions and closed the kitchen after a Students to rush violations, peri- odic damages to the fra- ternity and the Home- coming mishaps prompted the house corporation’s punish- ment, Howison said. Some parents said closing the Phi Delt kitchen was a cruel and unusual punishment. “We were significantly concerned and upset that suddenly the kids couldn’t eat,” Phi Delt father Thomas Sumner said. “We are not as concerned with the social activity probation.” Sumner said that though each member‘ s food money will be refunded, ' that still leaves Phi Delts with the ques- tion of where to eat. Sumner said the meeting was edu- cational, but the absence of a house corporation representative left parents with unanswered questions. “The meeting was somewhat one- sided because we had to continually refer to the deans,” Sumner said. “This C] see PHI DELT, page 6 payfor pavilion until 2003 By FRANCESCA KEFALAS Phi Staff Writer How much would you pay for the Student Activities Pavil- ion? $19.95? $29.95? How about $677,000? “A lot went into [the pavil- ion] and it's not obvious to the casual observer," Capital Plan- ning Assistant Frank Parsons said. AssistantTreasurer and Con- troller John Cuny said $277,000 The student of the cost was paid by the uni- . versity and the other $400,000 is being paid for by the student body. I In 1984, the Executive Committee agreed to give W&L about $25 out of each student’s activities fee until the building is paid for. Cuny said $311,000 was still owed on the pavilion after the 1991-92 school year. EC Vice President Ames Hutton said the student body will pay $49,150 on the pavil- ion this .year. Cuny said that at the current rate the pavilion will be paid off in 2003. Parsons said extra features made the pa- vilion so expensive. Parsons said the plumbing and electrical fixtures, a special floor, high cinder block Photo by Mallory Meyers, The R/ng-tum Phi Activities Pavilion cost $677,000. walls, circulation fans, wall drains and large roll-up doors made up 40 to 45 percent of the building’s cost. Parsons said the features were needed to make the pavilion useful to both the Student Activities Board and athletics department. Parsons said the university thought that when the pavilion was built the student body would use it more than it does. He said the change in the drinking age from 18- to 21-7 years—old hurt attendance at pavilion events. “As soon as we had two classes of stu- dents, those who could drink and those who could not drink, attendance dropped,” Par- sons said. “But for the first couple of years, it was a hugely successful building.” From the W&L News Office Former Nixon administration official and con- victed Watergate conspirator G.

And from what we saw, things are off to a good start for the fledgling society. The performances by all five contenders for president were admirable. The mock candidates were true to their platforms and characters. ’ Junior Cottie Miles captured the homey spirit of Bill Clinton as he strayed from the stage to be near the audience. He addressed audience members by name and repeatedly tailored his statements to the college-age crowd. V Senior Andrew Schneider brought George Bush to the stage. Schneider’s almost whiny voice and carefully placed pauses, bal- anced against quick, dramatic lines like, “Watch out!” formed an echo of the president. Schneider also deserves credit for portraying the Republican president. That was a contrast to Schneider’s liberal image on campus, arising from his association with the ACLU. His eager participation in an ironic role was a service to the literary-society environment, challenging people’s preconceptions. Freshman Tom Fink filled the bi g(?) Texan shoes of Ross Perot. Fink had on hand no less than a dozen of the fiery billionaire’s trigger lines and phrases. He ranted about the debt, “the gorrilla charging up the front steps,” and promised task forces that would look at the “plans lying all over Washington.” At one point he let Miles/Clinton‘ and Schneider/Bush tear into each other for a few minutes before getting up and remarking on two-party gridlock. The real heroes of the debate are Richard Hill and Cameron Humphries, who portrayed the Libertarian Andre Marrou and U.S. Taxpayers candidate Howard Phillips. Hill and Humphries had the challenging task of researching the more obscure candidates. Both, fully in character, expressed their appreciation for inclusion in the public forum. And both presented the platforms with which voters, including students, are not very familiar. This again is true to the literary-society goal of intellectual enrichment. The debate was wisely held in the Generals Headquarters rather than Lee Chapel or some other, more formal place. This is consis- tent with the Literary Society’s goal of “intellectual challenges within social environments.” This forum offered intellectual stimu- lation and entertainment all in one. Students’ motives in attending ‘the debate seemed to vary. Certainly some people came most importantly to learn more about the parties’ platforms. And it seemed that some people came solely to see their friends role play. We might_ suggest that students approach the event somewhat more open,-mindedly; frat.emal_alle- giances seemed to sway the audience polls. But most of the spectators probably went to the debate seeking a mix of education and entertainment, and that is a reasonable expectation. The Literary Society indeed seems to be filling a unique role on our campus filled by no other organization. If the society can maintain the quality of its presentations at a level with that of the debate, even with room for improvement in tenns of attendance, then the the group might begin a fine, new tradition at W&L.

Is the self-styled ‘ ‘different sort of Democrat” the genuine article or merely a masked man grabbing for more Rocky Mountain votes CHRISTOPHER MATTHEWS Tribune Media Services than he deserves? Is Bill Clinton building a mandate for centrist, even conserva- tive Democratic government the 46-year-old Arkansas governor was billing himself last week, rejecting both the ‘ ‘trickle-down” economics of Bush-Reagan Republicans and the ‘ ‘tax and spend” legacy of his own party’s once-dominant left. ‘ ‘Of all the people running for presi- dent this year, ’ ’ he told western crowds, “only one has ever passed a balanced budget and only one has ever taken on the lobbyists.’ ’ A taste for fiscal responsibility and a distaste for what Ross Perot called ‘ ‘men in $1,000 suits and alligator shoes” is not all the Fifteen Point Fa- vorite was pushing last week. In an all-out appeal to Bush-weary Republicans and sometime Perotistas, Clinton now steers a starboard course on every high-fever issue from deficit- spending to welfare cheating and street crime. ‘ ‘I'liere’s a new Democratic Party, ’ ’ he declared to Colorado and Wyoming audiences, ‘ ‘and anew Democratic can- didate.’ ’ One who backs the gas cham- ber for killers, bad times for welfare chiselers, and jail for young, first-time criminals. So what are we to make of Cliriton’s pre-election tilt rightward? , Is what we're hearing a display of or simply padding his win in the Electoral College? Does he seek a policy mandate Nov. 3 or only a popular one? With the election fast approaching, and with PresidentBushattacking hard at Clinton’s sincerity, this is the key question of the 1992 election: Is Bill Clinton the man he says he is or merely an Arkansas-accented mem- ber of the Walter Mondale-Ted Kennedy-Jesse Jackson faction? Does he intend to steer an indepen- dent course, or dance to the tune of the interest groups who anticipate the Democrat’s arrival in Washington as a groom awaits his bride on their wed- ding night? 4 I have two reasons to hope that Clintonmeansprecisely what he’snow confessing in cities like Cheyenne and Pueblo —- that he intends to build a centrist Democratic administration, attuned to economic growth rather than redistribution, to individual responsi- bility rather than public largesse, to justice for criminals rather than “fur- loughs.” The first is Clinton’s long support for the maverick Democratic Leader- ship Council. This is the largely-South- em group of governors, senators and members of Congress who rallied to- gether after Ronald Reagan’s 49-state fi.‘.'.\i i\\ii\l.\'.\\iI it fit‘ t':\'i.‘. \‘1i\\£i tit .iidli\\\&s:ii\\\;} :\\i\‘\l\\i\\ The Ring-tum Phl, October 29, 1992 .'

To many observers, this one included, the DLC ’s challenge to the old Democratic establishment —was more than a shift rightward. It was a rescue operation, a bold campaign to free Democratic candidates from the clutches of the interest groups: the teachers who claim imperial control over education policy, the labor unions who seek to dictate trade policy — whatever the impact on consumers, the fat-cat contributors who treat foreign policy as a bidding war. As a chairman of the DLC, Bill Clinton has led the charge against this Old Democratic Order . And while he’s displayed an often unsavory pen- chant for back sliding, the Arkansan‘ continues to argue, hardly a week be- fore the ’92 election, that Democrzfis need to get beyond their old losing, interest group ways, no matter how comfortable they’ve become. The fact that he’s returned to his centrist roots so close to Nov. 3 is the best evidence that Clinton is seeking not just a middle-class victory butga pro-middle class mandate as well. @1992 Tribune Media Services, Inc. D WASHINGTON—Everest has been conquered and the Amazon has been explored, so the biggest challenge remaining for intrepid people is to state reasons for re-electing George Bush. Here goes.

But regarding the judicial branch, where an ethic of process should prevail, Clinton seems purely result-oriented. America's notorious litigiousness (more than 18,400,000 civil suits were filed in stead on the argument that Clinton would be even GEoRGE WILL state courts in ,cerning education and the — 1 . politicizing of culture. Regarding these subjects, Bush’s administration is at its best and a Clinton adrriinistration might be at its worst. The leaders of Bush’s Education Departrnent— , Secretary Lamar Alexander, David Keams, Diane Ravitch — and Lynne Cheney at the National En- dowment for the Humanities are valuable precisely because their intense interest in ideas makes them so unlike the president they serve. A Clinton presidency probably would bring to education policy the sclero- sis of the public education lobbies, and to the NEH the batty political culture of a college English depart- ment chock full of deconstructionists. There are 200 other reasons to re-elect Bush. That is the number of federal judges Bush would nomi- nate, at his current rate, in a second term — approxi- mately one every seven days. Regarding judicial appointments, Republican superiority is still striking and supremely important. Republican nominees are less apt to regard the judicial branch as a second legislative branch, and Clinton and Congress might do what Carter and Congress did when they ex- panded the federal judiciary by 30 percent. When Clinton singled out Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackrnun (the least intellectually formidable of today's nine) as a sitting justice he would have liked to have appointed, he may have been merely in woge. It cctihuld wellbetrue. 1990, up 30 per- ut on epositive side, Washin ton P ' cent in just six Rugnac-ityonbeha1fofprin_ g ost Writers Group years) is both ciples is much-needed con- - cause and effect of the lunatic prolif- eration of lawyers (from 260,000 in 1960 to 760,000 today). Americans tend to turn every social dispute into an angry clash of “rights,” so America is becom- ing an increasingly discordant arena of individuals and groups throwing elbows and shredding commu- nity feeling. Alas, Clinton is the candidate of the trial lawyers. His party is full of believers in litigious liberalism. They prefer to pursue social change through litigation rather than legislation, or through legislation (like the Americans with Disabilities Act and the most recent Civil Rights Act) that breeds litigation. Furthermore, the Democratic Party is suffused with sympathy for the doctrine of group rights. That doctrine is Balkanizing America into grievance groups (the phrase is Shelby Steele’s) claiming victimiza- tion and elaborating agendas for racial, etlmic and sexual spoils systems. Because of the ideology of victimization, it is improbable that a Democratic president will talk fonhrightly about the crisis of character in those portions of the American commu- nity that are being destroyed by bad behavior — crime, drug abuse, irresponsible procreation. ' Regarding the economy, Clinton’s sometimes naive and sometimes tendentious bandying of wealth distribution indicates both bad economics and half- baked moral theories. With his unreflective rhetoric CIinton’s election would end about “the rich” paying “their fair share,” and ids ‘ promise of increased equality through income redis- tribution, Clinton shows that he does not know the crucial questions about modern society, let alone useful answers. ‘ James Q. Wilson frames the issue as follows. Largely because of genetic factors (and partly be- cause of advantages of nurturing that are not any- nable to redistribution by government), people differ in aptitudes. Society tends to reward useful aptitudes. d This produces hierarchies of pay and power that are resistant to rearrangement by government, including government attempts to redistribute income. » Such attempts usually are perverse because they ignore how income differences are necessary reward activities. The attempts are short-sighted be- cause history suggests that economic growth — which redistributionist measures can inhibit ——does more than redistributionist measures to narrow in- equalities. The attempts are indefensible. Or at least undefended, because liberals like Clinton are so cocksure of their moral intuitions that they feel no need to explain exactly why society would be bettcr off if income distribution were made more equal by government action. Liberals confuse an adjective (“fair”) with an argument. A Clinton presidency would be hyperkinetic. The negligible presence of the Bush presidency in Ameri- can life is perhaps the best reason for preferring Bush to Clinton. ‘ Bush is presiding —— without reflection, of course —— over a welcome miniaturization of the presidency. Another Bush term and that office may be back where it belongs, back where the sainted Coolidge kept it, on the periphery of national consciousness,- drained of priestly pretensions about being custodian of “values.” Restoration of constitutional balanQe and a sense of political proportion would be served by four more years of this incredible shrinking presi- denc . y @1992, Washington Post Writers Group gridlock . -.~»:vvv.? ~ - "If we see ~ "g.’*.a“;".7‘:§’1:\"«s .3‘ ~“i"«’.*i.’«. @112 i.Rittg—tunt lfllii Executive Editors . . . . . . . . . .Cathryn Lopiccolo, Richard Peltz News Editors . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Advertising does not reflect the opinion of The ' WASHINGTON— Pursuant to the sound advice that one should perform an unpleasant duty each day to stay in moral trim, today I concoct the best case I can for electing Bill Clinton. One reason for electing Clinton is government it already is getting, and certainly does not need most of the additional government that Clinton promises and that the Democratic Con- gress will merrily augment. But the nation does need some more govem- ment. Americans, who GEORGE WILL Washington Post Writers Group waste $14 billion worth of time and fuel because of congested highways and airports, need in- that re—electing Bush would prove there is no penalty for failure in American politics. That is a recipe for increasing the national stock of failure. Bush’s record is poor and his carn- paigri has been execrable. Before the 1988 campaign a Democrat said, “If we can’t beat Bush, we have to pick another country.” If after these four years and this campaign the Demo- cratic Party loses again, it may become as irresponsible as the Republican Party became after 1948 (remember Joe McCarthy), when it lost a fourth con- secutive election. Furtherrnore, it might be useful, if only to restore the good name of gridlock, to have responsibility firmly fixed in one party controlling both po- litical branchesof the federal govem- ment. Why anyone would want Washington’s political culture to be given an opportunity for unrestrained expression, 1 cannot imagine. But people complain about gridlock, so let it be gone. The resulting growth of government will at least be accompa- nied by clarity about which party is accountable for the mess the growth inevitably will make. America does not need all of the creased spendin g on in- frastructure. The nation needs some preventative government -— measures to forestall future and larger demands on government. Child care and public health education are examples. America ranks 25th among nations in the immu- nization rate of preschool children and worse regarding immunization of non- white children. And almost half the mortality in America is related to health- damaging behavior — smoking, drug and alcohol abuse, unsafe sex and driv- ing, etc. Clinton’s life has unfortunatelybeen an almost seamless glide from campus into government, but at least he has been a governor and may be amenable to fresh thinking about federalism. For decades the federal government, that overbearing and overreaching under- achiever, has been on a binge of “activ- ity acquisition” (Alice Rivlin’s phrase). It is now buckling beneath the weight. We need a sorting-out of federal from state and local responsibilities. It is possible, if just barely, to hope Clinton can undertake this, against the opposi- tion of all the interests to which he and his party are beholden — interests with much invested in their leverage in Washington. Onthetheorythat“onlyNixoncould have gone to China” — the theory that there are some thorny issues only con- servatives (or liberals) will be trusted to touch — perhaps it is time for liberalism’s moral vanity to meet real- ity. Clinton and his party think they have cornered the market on “compas- sion” and can ‘—‘control”_ the cost of medical care. Let them come to grips with facts like this: 30 percent of all Medicare dollars are spent on patients in the last twelve months of life. Fifty percent of American youths do not attend college. Half of America's high schools have no physics teachers. Half of the math and science teachers are not certified in those subjects. Perhaps Clinton can reason with the most retro- grade force in American education — his fervent sup-- porters in the public education lobby — to raise standards and spend the ample education dollars more sensibly. (Per American jects. _ ifty percent of not attend college. Half of America’s high schools have no physics teachers. Half of the math and sci- ence teachers are not’ certified in those sub- taxes pledge to 99 percent of taxpay- ers. Itshould be entertaining to see him try to keep that promise (and the prom- ise of middle-class tax relief, and of deficit reduction, and of dozens of new programs) and also keep his libeial friends friendly. 6 ) (Actually, to be pitilessly fair, Clinton promises several substantial new taxes on workers and consumers. Requiring business to pay re-training and medical care taxes will take money from what otherwise would be work- Q I ers ’ wages and from consumers through increased prices of goods and services.) The paramount issue is how to re- store sustained eco- youths d0 cientto generate jolgs and the revenues e- quired for a welfare state serving an ag- ing population. Per- haps Clinton is cor- rect. Perhaps such growth will be achieved by siphon- ing money from wealthy investing in- dividuals and giving» it to politicians to pupil spending on grades K-12 in- creased 35 percent in constant dollars during the last decade, but much of it stuck to the Velcro of bureaucracy.) Liberals who excoriate Bush for his “irresponsible” no-new-taxes pledge shouldnote that Clinton pledges no new taxes on individuals other than those with adjusted gross earnings of at least $150,000 and on joint filers cam- in g at least $200,000. That is a no-new- disperse (often to public employees who are the new core of the Dem!- cratic Party, which represents govem- ment as an interest group). Perhaps.

The Blue Jays beat the Braves. The Blue Jays beat the Braves. The Blue Jays beat the Braves. Ifeel better now. And let’s get bit cleared up here so I don’t get any more really cool letters: I’m not a bandwagon Blue Jays fan; I’m anti-V Braves. Actually, I really don’t have much to say this week. Not that that has ever stopped me before, but today I am truly ‘at a loss. However, (Was hoping I was just gonna end the column like that, huh? Wrong. I won’t let you off that easily.) However, I would like to men- tion that there’s a guy ridin’ around in a golf cart/motor scooter/bi g wheel/ green machine combination who is tak- ing his job way too seriously. And I know, that you know, that I know, that you know, exactly who I’m talkin’ about. This guy’s job is not that difficult. Nor is it that big a deal. And yet, he makes it a big deal. He once tried to give me a ticket on a bike. A bike! A friend and I were going back to the house one after- noon on the sidewalk; I would like to men- tion that there’s a guy ridin’ around in a golf cart/motor scooter/big wheel/green machine to write me up for riding on the side- walk. I started to bike away, but was afraid he might have Turbo in that can, and instead justthanked him for the warning. Others have not been so for- tunate, however. I know one student who received a ticket, on a bike, for running a red light. And still another who got a speeding ticket on a bike for go- ing over 15 mph. I'd ask whether or not he has any- he was walking, I was _ . _ thing better to do onmybikeandwewere combination who IS with his time,bfi1t keepingpacewitheach ' ' ° it seems that e taking [118 _]0b way too does_ whenever other.

Yés. word. But sure enough, ' 9 he’s not only the you-know-who ges- talk“! al,)0ut' meter person tured to me. I thought he was waving, so I moved along and waved back. But he kept doing it, which led me to the conclusion that there was something wrong with him, so I approached him and his three- wheelin’ tricycle, where he proceeded (wouldn’t wantto start anything sexist, y’know?), but he’s also the dog catcher. It is not my intention to demean this man’s occupation, but there’s some- thing about that job that intrinsically armoys me, besides the fact that I have to pay money. I’ve come to the conclu- sion that it’s because he acts too cool. I’m surprised he hasn’t put a sticker on the back of his vehicle that says: ‘ ‘R;D. RADICAL DUDE.” He should be motorin’ down Washington Street with “R.D. RIGHTEOUS DEATH” painted on the side, Terminator shades on, and a big, old, leather belt that has a notch for every ticket he’s written. Sort of a hybrid between Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mr. Farley from “Three’s Company,” and Mr. McPheeley from ‘ ‘Mister Roger’s Neighborhood.” Then he'd at least look the part he’s got the atti- tude for. And it might actually be worth the price of a ticket. Maybe if he didn’tride in the scooter, I’d like his job a little more. Or if every once in a while he left a note saying ”Next time it’ll be $10,” instead of a ticket, I'd appreciate his effort. Or if he smiled when he wrote the ticket like Baner does, maybe I'd like him as much as I looooove Baner. Maybe. But perhaps the only reso- lution would be to stop giving those darrtntickets. ‘Relax R.D. Acarparked for more than two hours isn ’t the end of the world. Take it easy. And write me something meaningful next time you get my car. It's gold, with a Maryland plate. 6 Parking problems To the Editors: I am writing in regard to the lunacy of the parking mystem in Lexington, Va. I parked my car in the parking lot behind Bestseller Books. I parked it a 9:45 a.m., noticing that they had changed the lot from ' a two-hour to one-hour limit. I returned to my car at 10:57 a.m. to find a dog catcher/rent-a-cop placing a ticket on my car. When I told him that I was there for only a few mminutes extra he told me “no grace, one-hour limit, move your car every hour.” Though I did comment on his use of the English language, I realized that this was happening to all other cars in the lot. I have also noticed that many of the parking lots have been changed from two-hour to one-hour limits. 4 This “screw the students” tactic obviously will . force students from these lots even though we are forced to pay car taxes, which I’ve paid. There is no. possible way for a student to even go to one class and return in time so as not to get a ticket. If the patrons of Lexingtonvare pleased with this tactic maybe W&L should no longer openvourrpark- ' _ in g lots in the summer to Lexington citizens. After all , I pay taxes for the Lexington streets, but they do not pay a car registration fee for W&L parking lots. _ Sincerely, Bill Chappell, ’94 A‘ Junior Class President Scholar speaks up for program To the Editors: The Washington and Lee faculty will vote next Monday on the proposed elimination of the Univer- sity Scholars Program. Certain administrators and faculty members feel the program no longer serves the purpose for which it was created — to give intellectually motivated students a chance to meet and take courses outside the regular curriculum. Some of the faculty contest that the quality of students at Washington and Lee has so improved over the past few years that the program no longer applies to the needs of students, since all students are of an equal level of intelligence. Yet I feel it is necessary to examine this situation a little closer. While University Scholars do not by any means claim to possess intelligence superior to that of other Washington and Lee students, they were however chosen to participate in the program be- cause of their intellectual motivation and eagerness for learning. But does the present Washington and Lee community as a whole provide an environment conducive to intellectual thought, motivation, and “curiosity? Perhaps, for some. As a freshman last year, I remember the excite- ment I felt when I left for college — I eagerly anticipated opportunities to discuss and share ideas with other individuals, both inside and outside the classroom. Yet upon my arrival, 1 instead found myself ridiculed for studying and for wanting to study, and it seemed as though working as little as possible to achieve one’s desired grade was the primary goal. I was admitted to the University Scholars Pro- gram during the fall of my freshman year and since Miller ’s treatment was unfair ‘Dear Editor: The manner in which the SCC has expelled Marcus Miller disgusts me and embarrasses Washington and Lee University. Throughout my four years in Lexing- ton the W&L community cultivated a special atmo- sphere which placed a gentleman’s conduct before distrust. 3 Mr. Miller’s actions this fall were both absolutely honest and gentlemanly in nature, amounting to nei- ther trespassing nor harassment. To conclude that Mr. Miller’s conduct was unreasonable and intoler- able the SCC had to abandon both common sense and justice. They revealed their desire to condemn Mr. Miller again for an incident last year that was of so ‘ 0 little substance that even a Lexington court dis- missed it. _ What Mr. Miller has been expelled for is failing to see that the SCC applies different standards of behavior to different students and thus requires certain students to “know their place.” I, as many others, have known Marcus Miller to be a true and honest friend for six years and I would stack his moral character against that shown by the members of the SCC any day. It is a shame that the SCC represents Washington and Lee University in this disgraceful fashion. 4 Paul C. Galanides ’90 Interviews and Photos -‘By Jameson Leonardi then have found encouragement from and conversa- tion with other Scholars. While I do not suggest that Washington and Lee is intellectually barren and void of all thought-provoking activity, I submit that the program gives exceptionally motivated students the ' opportunity to come together. _ To my knowledge, the majority of students here, much to the dismay of the faculty, do not sit around on weekends engaging indiscussions about lifeviews, religion, etc. (OK, exception, Jim and Babli). The University Scholars Program gives me that chance and for me had really just begun with the seminar I ' took last spring. I beseech the faculty, then, not to vote down the program but instead to consider its continuation, for even though it would gradually phase out, I would hate for freshmen to miss this chance and for future prospectives to be turned away by Washington and Lee’s lack of a centralized honors program While I recognize that problems exist within the program, I feel that with considerable revision University Schol- ars can survive. ‘ ’ Yes, its administration and structure need reorga- nization, perhaps to create a more inclusive program that would work with the honors programs of indi- vidual departments. The scholars themselves need to take an active role in planning, restructuring, and the overall amending of the program. If we are motivated enough to participate in the University Scholars Program, I promise that we are indeed motivated enough to aid in its reshaping and continuation.

While many agree there is still progress to be made, few will disagree the attitude towards women at W&L has changed dramatically in the past seven years. The main reason W&L turned to coeducation was the declining quality of the applicant pool the admissions office was seeing. “Very few strong applicants were looking for an all-male student body. Coeducation was the practical answer to saving our academics,” said Associate Professor of Eco- nomics John Gurm, who has been associated with W&L as both a student and professor for 51 years. In August 1985, Associate Dean of Students Anne Schroer-Lamont, a psychologist with background in work- ing with gifted women and career development, was hired specifically to aid the transition of women on W&L’s campus. Schroer-Lamont was not to initiate any programs alone, but rather to be a sounding board for the ideas of the students. The women at W&L strive to be equals with their male peers. “The biggest movement for women is for them to come here and achieve academically, be elected to significant positions, and party,” said Schroer-Larnont. The admissions office quota seems to influence women’s comparable academic performances as well as their chances of obtaining student government offices. ' “The quota of 40 percent women versus 60 percent males was made by the Board of Tnistees. The Board didn't want to enlarge the size of the University but researched that our male athletic program couldn’t function at its traditional standards with less than 1000 males,” Guim said. “The consequence of this limit is that the cutoff for females is higher, thus their average GPA's are consistently higher.” Students agree that the quota causes inequalities in the classroom. “It seems the girls’ statistics are a lot higher. It can be aggravating. It seems like unfair competition because it’s almost like two different standards,” junior J .B. Meek said. “It ends up guys are competing with people who could have The Ring-tum Phl, October 29, 1992 FEATURES y FAITH TRUMAN Phi Staff Writer ended up at Yale. Girls can be intimidating in the class- room.” “From what I’ve seen so far is that girls do a little more . work in preparing for class. Maybe it’s because guys have had a lot to do with fraternities lately,” freshman Les Borden said. The majority of students feel they are treated fairly equally in the classroom. “My professors treat us all the same. I haven’t found a difference,” said freshman Ainsley Fisher. “I’ve never had any experience with an unfair professor and I’ve had a bunch of classes where I’m the only woman. It hasn't made a difference,” senior Liz Randol said. “The professors are all pretty fair. Deep down 1 get the feeling the professors still feel like girls are something to look at,” freshman Chrissy CA Coed Future: ‘A rzd this if the H0me—Ec0n0mz°cs I building. . . .. ’ Donnelly said. The prejudices that once faced women nmning for office are no longer abundant, women say. “When I was a freshman, guys would go up to women in my class that were nmning for office and tell them ‘Girls just don’t rim for office here. It’s not appropri- ate,”’ Randol said. The quota seems to be a factor in the success of women in ob- taining offices. “Many members of the Women’s Forum feel the quota is holding us back from serving in leadership positions. We are currently trying to find out the reasons it isn’t changed,” senior and Women’s Forum President Shannon Comer said. The relationship"between W&L students and nearby women’s college students has also been debated since coedu- cation. “The social situation before women was unhealthy. The From The Ring-tum Phi, Oct. 20, 1983 guests from women’s colleges College Democrats Proudly Support ’ People First Clintonl Gore '92 _come here thinking they’ll have '1985]. And it has been a very were treated badly by many too many. Coeducation has brought much healthier conditions,” Gunn said. “I would like to see a better relationship with the women,” said Comer. “The term ‘road cheese’ is not supportive. W&L is their only social outlet. 1 would like to have a place for them to sleep and feel safe. We have not made too much progress in getting the Women’s Center approved for this, due to liabilities.” Some female students don ’t wholeheartedly welcome the presence of these out-of-town women. “The women’s college students are pretty nice. I just wish they'd go somewhere else to party,” said Fisher. Some students say the dating scene for W&L women is rough. “For the most part, men don’t seem to have any respect [for women’s college students] '9 structure is male dominated and the fraternities are still so strong. A lot of progress could be made. I would like to see women have more voice on campus and in the student government. The women’s activities need more funding, and most colleges would have an active staff along with the Women’s Center," said Comer. ’ The Women’s Forum would also like to see the return of the Status of Women Committee. . In 1988 a diverse group of male and female professors, undergraduate students and law students investigated the advancement of women on campus. "‘They conducted a very thorough study. They planned for the committee to meet every year, but it wasn’t done,”’ said Comer. Not all students look forward to the permeation of these programs. I “The advent of women has brought this college closer to the national norm. lhad planned to come toaschool thatwas untouched. Feminism and political correctness are very demeaning to this grand institution, ” Meek said. I “Tradition makes W&L what it is. Women have opened the doors to change and it just seems there is less and less of the traditional W&L. But I don’t see single-sex education as better than coeducational,” sophomore Ryan Boone said. A conglomerate of coeducational studies from Yale, Princeton, Davidson and other colleges that have undergone coeducational adjustments show it takes about seven tog eight years before women openly discuss changes with a college’s coeducation program. “We are finding our voices right on time. This year’s freshmen feel more like that first class of women. I have spent more time with them than other classes. They are asking questions and venting their anger,” said Schroer- Lamont. ' 0 “Women have brought so much to W&L. There is now a total sense of well being and happiness. Women have raised this school to a quality which nobody anticipated,” said Gurm. “It would be unrealistic to go to a single-sex college. Life isn’t like that,” Donnelly said. “We need to learn to live together.” , Editor's note: This is the first of a two-part series about W&L women. Next week's article focuses on Women’s Forum. and the women here have the same prejudice. That doesn’t apply for everyone, but tl1at’s a tendency,” said Randol. “I think W&L girls have a huge chip on their shoulder when it comes to women’s college stu- dents,” Meek said. “W&L girls the pick of the litter because of the ratio and it’s a cold surprise when they find out there are four significantly large girl schools nearby.” Men and women say the over- all attitudes between the sexes on campus have obviously under- gone a change. “There has been a definite change in the attitude that males have towards women [since healthy change,” Schroer- Lamont said. “However we aren’t finished with the transition until the attitude is not even an issue.” “I personally have a problem with the attitude between the ‘lAn_d then my adviser said, ‘The boys may be a bit curious at first . ‘”" I////./ti ¢ . sexes at this school.

Staff Writer when Sigma Chi and Sigma Phi Epsilon move into their new houses in ‘Davidson Park next fall, Washington and Lee's three-year, $13 million game ' of fraternity house musical chairs will finally be over. But the administration is still play- ing with the possibilities of what to do with_ the old Sigma Chi, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Kappa Sigma houses. According to Dean of Students 9 David Howison, Sigma Chi’s proxim- . ity to campus makes it ideal for admin- ‘ istrative uses. é‘ ‘ “[What to do with] Sigma Chi is the , priority decision,'f Howison said. “We're definitely’ going to use that space to support the students in some way.” ‘ 7 Howisonsaid he hopes the house ‘ will hold administrative offices that serve students, like the Career Devel- . opment and Placement Office. Sigma ‘Chi couldalso be the home for some , _st1_rde_nt offices currently in the Univer- S sity "Center, or a combination of stu-' dent and administrative offices, Howison said.“ ' v‘ '-gflowison said the house will defi- nitely not be used as a residence. A decision probably will be made toward the end of winter term, Howison said, so renovations can begin as soon as the Sigma Chis move out in June. Capital Planning Assistant Frank Parsons said construction crews won’t have to add restrooms, party rooms or kitchen facilities to the house, which makes administrative renovation cheaper than Fraternity Renaissance. “[Sigma Chi] will need more than a touch up and paint up job,” Parsons said. “But it’ll cost substantially less than the $500,000 and $600,000 ex- penses in Fraternity Renaissance.” Parsons said the renovations may not have to be done with concern for durability, since fraternity men won't be living in the house. A “The administration won’t be rest- . mg on the wash basins,” Parsons said. “These things go on in fraternities——- we have to nail [sinks] to the wall for [fratemities].” Parsons said the cost of renovations will depend on whether Buildings and Grounds can handle the magnitude of the project. He said the money for the renovations will come from allocations in the Capital Projects budget, which must be approved by the Board of Tnrstees. Howison said Associate Dean of the College W. Lad Sessions is cur- « rently living in the old Kappa Sigma house on Washington Street, but the house will become Outing Club head- quarters by winter term. Next fall, ‘ NEWS juggles fraternity houses Outing Club members will be able to live there, in an arrangement similar to that of the International House. Parsons said the university is lim- ited in its choices for the future of the Sig Ep house because of its remoteness from campus. He said it will either be sold for residential use or renovated for faculty apartments. Howison said that it is unlikely that W&L will spend much money on the house and that it will probably be sold. “Personally, I’d like to see some entrepreneur make it into a bed-and- breakfast,” Howison said. When uses are found for Sigma Chi and Sig Ep, the end of fraternity reno- vations will be in sight. The only re- maining unfrnished house is Delta Tau Delta, which will begin renovation within the month and should be fin- ished by September 1993. The Kappa Alpha house was sched- uled to be open in September. KA members should move in this January. The new Sigma Chi and Sig Ep houses are on schedule, and will be ready for occupancy by the beginning of the next school year, Parsons said. Fraternity Renaissance began in the spring of 1990 with renovations to Sigma AlphaEpsilonand will end with the completion of the Delt house in the fall of 1993, Parsons said. He said the 14-house project cost W&L about $13 million. :,-.., Family ties victory over-Sewanee.

KA was scheduled to be completed in September. By JEANNE BRIGGS Phi Contributing Writer A reported case of measles at Clinch Valley Community College in southwest Virginia has prompted Washington and Lee’s Student Health Services to make sure students have gotten all their shots. Dr. Jane Horton, director of the student health center, said children receive measles vaccinations when they are 1 year old, but in 1989 the Advisory Committee on Immuni- zation Practices, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College Health Association reported that the immunization wears off. For this reason, Horton said doctors are now recom- mending a second booster vaccination one month after the initial vaccination. Current juniors and seniors were not required to receive a second» vaccination upon entering W&L, but freshmen and sophomores were. Doctors at the health center are checking studentrecords for students who have not received the second vaccination, Horton said. .. . . I i When the health center discovers a student who has not received the second immunization, a letter is sent home and the student is asked to come in and receive the immuniza- tion. Ifthe student is not properly immunized, he or she will Phi Delt parents question punishmen Ci From PHI DELT, page 1 left people with question marks. It was a major disappointment that the house corporation wasn’t there.” Phi Delt parent Frank Surface said he was pleased that Atkins and Howison made the effort to talk to parents about the situation, but said he still thought the punishments were too harsh for the crime. “I thought it was a fair exchange of ideas,” Surface said. “There was a lot of discussion about severity. Parents thought the punishment was not appro- priate for the event, and that an entire frat was punished for the act of maybe a single person. ” Howison said the Student Affairs Committee, which voted to support the house corporation’s original punish- ment, would not have to approve any revision in the sanctions. 463-7969 F ADOPTION OPTION 1 Tim and Vicki wish to share our home with an infant.

With a little more than nine minutes left in this battle Sewanee faced a second and 14 as a result of a holding penalty. Young ’s replacement, Robbie Lyle tried to get it all in one play and Newman makes him pay. Newman stepped in front of the intended receiver and picked off it off. He returned the ball to the Tigers’ 40. The Generals got the big break they needed and with 9:07 left, and down by one, they had a shot at a major upset. At this point, Fallon still wanted the seven points. “I only go for the field goal when faced with it and that’s all we got left.” _ On the first two plays, Moore picked up 14 and put the Generals at the Tigers’ 25. Steiner hit Hodges for four, then Moore for four. On third and two, Mason tries to go over left side but is dropped just about a half-a-yard short. Fallon called on freshman Drew Thomas to try a 34-yard field goal. By now, most of the 5,680 spectators were on their feet. Sewanee called a timeout to try and “ice" Thomas. Finally, the teams lined up for the kick. Thomas had already had one kick blocked late in the first half, this was for the lead. The ball was snapped, Steiner set it and Thomas kicked it. A Sewanee defender came flying in from the right side and got hisftngertips on the ball,'but to no’ avail. V E The ball sailed through the uprights and the Generals led 17-16. ‘ There was still six minutes to go, though, and Fallon 1 knew it.

The Generals will face Randolph- Macon College on Friday as the ODAC Final Four travel to the campus of host Virginia Wesleyan. Senior Michael Hill scored the first goal, which was all the Generals needed. Senior Reid Murphy scored twice, giving him eight on the season. Murphy, atri-captain, has scored 30 goals in his career, which places him among the top goal-scorers in W&L history. In the three game winning streak, Murphy has scored five goals and assisted on three. The Generals’ career goals record is 38, set by Scott Fechany (1965-68). Washington and Lee lost to Randolph-Macon in their first meeting this season, 1-0. The Yellow Jackets have one of the premier goaltenders in the conference, Rick Wilcox. However, W&L has scored an un- believable 20 goals in their past three games. The team had only produced 14 goals in their first 11 games while allowing 20. But they annihilated Bridgewater 9-0 and Lynchburg 8-0 in consecutive contests. “We’re just pulling it all together," said junior Dan Rhodes. “[Bridgewater and Lynchburg] weren't top teams, but we've been moving the ball around real well.” Bridgewater was fielding its first intercollegiate soccer team since 1942. As for Lynchburg, who W&L outshot 42-2, the Hornets’ coach resigned last week and several of their key players missed the game with a suspension. Generals assistant coach John Bur- gess said they handled Harnpden- Sydney fairly easily. “We seem to match up against them well,” said Burgess. The game was the second time in which the Generals shutout H-SC on the road. They beat the Tigers 2-0 three weeks ago. “We definitely played real well, but not great,” Burgess said. “We still haven't hit our peak.” Burgess said he and head coach Rolf Pirariian feel that the team has yet to play up to its potential, but anything can happen in the playoffs. Rhodes believes the team hasasolid chance against Randolph-Macon. “I’d much rather face [R-MC] than Virginia Wesleyan," he said. Va. Wesleyan has knocked the Generals out of the ODAC Tournament the past two years. "They're real good,” said senior Mike Mitchem, “but our confidence is really high right now. We’ll give them a game.” Mitchem, a senior tri-captain, is one assist short of tying the W&L ca- reer assist record. He recorded his 21st against Harnpden-Sydney. Burgess said that in the tournament anything can happen. “[On winning the title] We have to get there first, but in the playoffs who knows what can happen.” Women advance to next round in ODAC tourney By Jusrm MCNAUL1. Phi Staff Writer The Generals were solid gold in Tuesday’ s Old Dominion Athletic Con- ference quarterfinal, defeating Lynchburg 4-0, earning a date with regular-season champion Randolph- Macon College. R-MC enters Friday’s game in Ashland, Va. with a 14-2 record, hav- ing defeated the Generals 3-1 in Sep- tember. The fourth-seeded Generals’ 10 losses are the most in their five-year history. Head coach Jan Hathom thinks the Generals (5-10) have arealistic chance to win the ODAC tournament. “We're as good as Randolph-Ma- con, we just need to prove it,” she said. Tuesday’s drubbing of Lynchburg, coupled with a strong second-half rally in Satiirday’s4-2loss to regional power Messiah, supports Hatliom’s confi- dence in the team. The defense has been strong all sea- son while the offense has sputtered, scoringonlyninetimesinit’slast twelve games. Junior Aspen Yawars opened the scoring with a goal on a free kick from more than 30 yards out. Yawars’ first goal of the season was the early goal the Generals have lacked all season long. "The early goal was the difference, so that we just played and we didn’t worry,” said Hathom. Sophomore Anne Spniill caught fire in the second half. Spniill sparked the rout with her third goal of the season, opening a 2-0 lead. ‘ , Spruill chipped in her second goal from six yards out, it was 3-0. Sophomore Jenny Lynch completed the scoring with two minutes left in the game. it Junior Kate Stimeling notched her second shutout in three games, aided by junior Allison Lewis’s strong play * at sweeper. The Generals knew they were im- proving after the second half of their game against Messiah. After spotting Messiah a three-goal lead, the Generals picked up the tempo and played much of the second half. Junior Angie Cairington made the score 3-1 on a penalty kick. She also , added the Generals second goal a few minutes later. Carrington leads the Generals ’ scor- ers with five goals. The goal closed the gap to 3-2, but W&L couldn’t muster a tie the game and Messiah scored with two minutes remaining. But the Generals couldn’t come any closer, and lost a tough one, 3-2. The second half electiified the Far- ents Weekend crowd and excited Hathom. “Even an hour after the game, I felt like we had won,” she said. “I don’t know if the kids understand the magni- tude of what we did.” Tuesday’s win shows they did. w By SEAN O’RoURKE Phi Sports Editor The Generals’ football game against the University of the South epitomized the way football should be played. Football purists were in their glory after Saturday's game. It had everything a great game is supposed to have: big offensive plays, great defense, few mistakes and its out- come was decided in the final minute of play. Both teams played at such a high level that the W&L faithful didn’t do their usual halftime split. Now you know the game had to be good. Sewanee was 5-0 entering the contest and had an offense which featured a nationally-ranked quar- terback and running back. Russ Young was in the top 10 in comple- tion efficiency; Carl Cravens was among the nation’s leaders with an average of 130 yards rushing per game. The Generals’ defense would be under the gun from the get-go, and they responded with big-time play. Sewanee opened the game at their own 30 and Young gave the Gener- als a preview of what they might face the entire afternoon on the first play. Young rolled to his right and let go, on the full run, with a forty-yard bomb down the right side. W&L freshman corner back Graig Fantuzzi had a better beat on the ball than the receiver, and was able to knock it down. Head coach Gary Fallon said the secondary played an excellent game and the difference was in the team’s nhilosonhv._ “They were going to the foot- ball,” said Fallon. “Before we’d let teams have completions in front of us and then we’d hit them. “This time we played aggressive and got some good knock downs.” On the second play of the game, Young overthrew his intended re- ceiver and that set-up third and 10. The Tigers then looked to their main offensive weapon, Cravens. He took an inside hand—off and raced up the middle for a pick-up of 15 and a first down. The Tigers would be successful on all three third downs they faced on this drive. Sewanee moved down the field on the strength of Cravens’ nmning, and a big 16-yard completion from Young to James Spriggs at the Gen- erals’ four. Cravensscored a sweep to the left on the next play. The Generals started their first drivefrom their own 35, and it would set the tone for the rest of the after- noon. The Generals marched down the field by mixing in run and pass, and they took what Sewanee’s defense would give them. The Generals also had great suc- cess on third down. Geren Steiner hit Tommy Mason for seven on a third and five; on third and one, Steiner picked up two; on third and three, Steiner hit Bob Ehret, who made a great leaping catch, for 10; on the fourth third down, Steiner completed a 10-yarder to Hayne Hodges which set up a first and Volleyball readies for ODACs By MARK SAPPENFIELD Phi Staff Writer The dank lights of the Warner Cen- ter afforded the Washington and Lee volleyball team little solace as they left the court, dejected, after a tough five- game loss to Hollins College. The loss in their final regular-sea- son contest, took some of the luster off an outstanding year for the volleyball team, but not much." A less talented Hollins team simply managed to hold on throughout the match, then capitalize on W&L mis- takes when they presented themselves. W&L won the first game easily, perhaps too easily, 15-4. The Generals suffered a big blow early in the game. Sophomore stand-outJenriiferGarrigus injured her ankle during the third point of the match. Her loss would prove costly later in the match. The second game was a little more difficult, as Hollins seemed to get into a grove. The Generals prevailed, though, 15-10. From the second game on, Hollins seemed to do just enough to keep the ball in play, and managed to score points despite some solid play from the Generals. The third game was along and ago- nizing one as W&L lost its edge com- pletely and fell into lackluster play. The Generals staked themselves to a 13-8 lead before the roof caved in. W&L failed to score another point, losing the game 15-13. From that point on, the Generals seemed lost, and although Hollins did raise its level of play a notch, they still were well below the Generals at their best. Hollins somehow eeked out a 15- 1 2 win in the fourth game of the match." The low point of the match was game five, when Hollins finished off the Generals 15-8. Unfortunately, this match was not the fitting end to the excellent season the team had. , With an overall record of 13-13, 4- 5 in Old Dominion Athletic Confer- ence play, the Generals are a vastly improved team. In fact, with a good showing at the ODAC Tournament, which begins first round play Nov. 3, the Generals could finish with the second winning season in the team’s five-year history. Appropriately enough, freshmen Chrissie Hart and Cheryl Taurassi led the team against Hollins with 14 kills and 20 assists respectively. Hart finished atop the statistical heap for the season with 184 kills and 60 block points. While Taurassi fin- ished with an outstanding 402 assists. Garrigus, who will return to the line-up for the ODAC Tournament, 3 led the team in aces with 37, and racked up 249 digs, the second highest total on the team. Senior co-captain Leslie Hess led the team with 287 digs, and also com- piled 177 kills. The senior from Hous- ton, will try to lead the team the Gener- als to their first ever ODAC title, and in this season of firsts, one never knows. The one major aspect the team needs to work on is playing at its highest level, for an entire game, no matter what the competition. Head coach Kristi Yarter said this is what will make the Generals competi- tive with the top teams. “We're competitive with everyone in our conference,” Yarter said. “We played Guilford, who, to my knowl- edge, is the best team in the league, to five games. If that’s the case, the lower teams of the ODAC shouldn’t even be any competition.” W&L will get a bye in the first round of play. They will open in the second round against an unspecified team on Nov. 6.

Cravens was the offensive star of the game, whlle Newmavl sparkled on the defensive side. Newman earned ODAC Defenslve Player of the Week honors for his performance on Saturday. goal. On the Generals’ fifth straight third down, Wilson Moore plowed over the right side for three and a touchdown. The drive took 16 plays, it con- sumed more than eight minutes and probably most important of all, Steiner was 7-for-7 for 47 yards. Fallon said the quick start by Steiner is exactly what the team’s needed. ‘‘I talked to Geren about getting off to a better start. I told him you don’t get many chances in the first quarter or half.” On Sewanee’s next series, the de- fensive star for the Generals made his mark. Free safety Marc Newman would have his best day as a General with 16 tackles, one interception and three pass break-ups. His efforts earned him Old Dominion Athletic Conference Defen- sive Player of the Week, the second straight week a General has won that honor. “The secondary felt real solid on Saturday,” said Newman. “We mixed it up more and played real aggressive." On the second play of Sewanee’s second drive, the Tigers’ starting QB, Young, broke his arm. He would finish the drive, but not return the rest of the way. That left Cravens as the only real threat for the Generals’ defense. Even with that knowledge, Cravens had a career day. On the Tigers second possession of the second quarter, Cravens handled the ball seven times on 10 plays and accounted for 33 yards. Cravens capped the drive by bowl- ing over one of the Generals’ comers for a three-yard touchdown. Like the first quarter, W&L would respond on the very next drive. This time, it was Michael MacLane’s replacement, Tommy Ma- son, who led the offense. Mason car- ried five times for 54 yards, and it was his 35-yard dash down the right side that set up the Generals’ second touch- down. On second and goal from Sewanee’s four, Steiner found Moore on a screen and Moore just carried 21 Tigers line- backer into the end zone for his second touchdown of the half. The TD tied the game at 14 and would be the last one for either team the rest of the game. Fallon said the offense worked all week at keeping the ball for long peri- ods of time. “Our whole thinking was that their offense was their strong point. But if they're on the bench, they can’t do much. “We wanted to keep the ball but we also wanted points, not field position." The final 30 minutes was domi- nated by the defenses, and Sewanee’s struck first. For the entire third quarter 11; Generals were pinned in their own end. They never made it past their own 24. W&L started their third drive of the quarter at their own one-yard line. Moore got them two on a run up the middle, then Mason tried 3 get more on the left side. He wish s he hadn’t. Mason got stood up by three Tigers but wouldn’t go down. As Mason was trying to spin out of trouble a fourth Tiger popped him in the back and knocked the ball, free. The Generals recovered, but i the end zone resulting in a free two points. ’ ' ' The shot Mason took was so ‘ hard that the ball flew ten yards in the air and ten yards backwards. Mason didn’t miss a step, though. He returned for W&L’s next serie9. The score would remain 16-14 for the rest of the third and most of the fourth. Sewanee counted on their big horse, Cravens, to rim out much of the time. W&L did an excellent job o.f Cl See SHSOCKER, page 7 )’ Where is everybody?

Democrat Bill Clinton, played by junior Cottie Miles, swept the mock debate, win- ning over the audience of about 65 in a poll of applause, whistles and yells. But runner-up Republican George Bush, played by Andrew Schneider, stole the show in terms of laughter with his squeaky, shaky voice and exaggerated gestures to , imitate the president. “Maybe the Soviet bear is gone,” Schneider/Bush said, “but there are many wolves out there. Watch out!” Third parties made a strong showing with freshman Tom Fink as independent Ross Perot, senior_ Richard Hill as Libertarian Andre Marrou and senior Cameron Humphries as Howard Phillips for the U.S. Taxpayers Party. The candidates answered questions posed by moderator Dean of Students David Howison on a range of topics, from abortion and the economy to drugs and national defense. Miles imitated Clinton’s down-home style in an MTV, “Rock the Vote”-style presentation. He walked with the microphone and ad- dressed the crowd on a personal level, as “students who are worried about their future.” “Is it right, a man who works every day, who slaves, can’t afford health care?” Miles/Clinton asked. “‘Let’s let them die”’ is the Repub- lican response, he said. Schneider/Bush accused his Democratic opponent of being “Gover- nor Gloom ‘n’ Doom.” “He says he’s gonna tax the rich,” Schneider said. “But I tell ya, watch your wallet!” Miles presented a Democratic platform that included a national health care system, pro-choice legislation, increased employment through a better education system and education on drugs rather than interdic- tron. But Clinton’s alleged use of marijuana and anti-Viemam war activi- ties were an ever—present issue. “Andre [Marrou] says we should legalize drugs ‘cause it’s fun,” Schneider said. “Well I don’t think it would benefit Governor Clinton, because he didn’t inhale.” “I might have smoked marijuana in England,” Miles came back. “And I might have enjoyed it, too. But that’s past me now.” Schneider presented a Republican platform of a tax credit to the poor for medical care, maintaining the national defense and pro-life legisla- tron. “Who can you trust?” was the Republican theme. Hill as Andre Marrou had his moment in the spotlight when Howison asked about his party’s plank to legalize drugs. Imagine, Hill/Marrou said: “The entire country gets high and is nice to each other.” He said drug-control laws were first enacted as prejudice against opium-using Asians in the West. “Victimless crimes like drugs should be made legal,” Hill said. Hill attacked Bush, Clinton and Perot as, respectively, “the right- wing socialist,” “the left—wing socialist” and “the fascist socialist.” “‘Give me your money, and I’ll do nothing,”’ say the Republicans, according to Hill. And the Democrats say, “‘Give me your money and let us solve your problems.” “Libertarians believe you can have your money and solve your own problems,” he said. Libertarians would eliminate the income tax and reduce government by 90 percent, he said. Libertarians also advocate national defense only for U.S. land. “We’ve got cool stuff,” Hill said of U.S. military technology, like the “Uranium P-32 Space Modulator.” But “Germany and Japan can afford to defend themselves,” he said. Humphries, playing the lesser known Howard Phillips, turned heads when he addressed the national-defense issue. “The Red Army is still alive,” Humphries/Phillips said. “They ’ve got enough grain in storage to feed their people for years.” The U.S. Taxpayers platform also advocated the elimination of the income tax. Fink loyally portrayed billionaire Ross Perot, minus the east-Texas twang, delivering such familiar Perot-isms as “I didn’t create this problem; I’m here to solve it" and “There are plans lying all over Washington.” “You’ve got a headache this big,” Fink stretched out his arms, “and it’s got your future written all over it. Two little, yellow Nuprins are not going to solve your problem. And that’s how you might characterize our government: little and yellow.” Fink/Perot and Hill/Marrou followed Miles/Clinton and Schneider/Bush in audience approval, with Humphries/ Phillips receiving a good-natured mur- mur. Among the spectators at the GHQ was the wife of Democrat Steve Musselwhite, the congressional con- tender from Virginia’s Sixth District. “It was more entertaining than TV,” she said. _ Senior Meredith Gronroos said she hoped the debate would help her place her vote, but she only left the debate more confused than when she came. “Bill Clinton was the best dressed,” Gronroos said. “And little Ross Perot was adorable. But they didn’t help me decide. There are too many choices.” Schneider’s effective performance as Bush gave some audience members a sweet surprise. . As founder of the W&L chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, Schneider’s casting had invoked some doubters. But out of character, Schneider took the irony in stride. “Maybe the conservative campus is having an effect on me," he said. “But it’s all in fun. Sorry, Dad.” Phi Staff Writer Craig Burke reported Photos by Mallory Meyers, The Ring-tum Pill‘ for this article.
