(_3roups show . support for VMI FROM STA FF REPORTS The controversy surrounding Virginia Military Institute’s single-sex admissions policy may soon be settled by the United States Supreme Court. a friend-of-the—court brief filed yesterday, four interest groups asked the Supreme Court to review the Fourth Circuit Federal Appeals Court’s decision that would threaten VMI ’s current admissions policy. Virginia’s five all-women’s colleges filed their own brief in March. Should the Supreme Court decide to take the case into consideration, it may reverse the I ‘. rite Phot Single-sex formations could be a thing of the past at VMPit the Supreme Court does not rule on the case. New pub coming “That location has been a W&L hangout for years,” said Gorman. Gorman originally hoped to have a liquor license for The Raven and Crown by Alumni Weekend, when his class will return to Lexington for its five- year reunion. However, in,.Vir- ginia, a restaurant must be open for two weeks before it can get a liquor license. According to Gorman, The Raven and Crown will be open seven days a week. He said the restaurant will open for break- fast at 6 a.m. and will stay open later as the week progresses. “I'm willing to stay there as long as there are people there,’ Gorman said. “I’m sure there will be nights when I’m there as late as 3 am.” No liquor may be served after 2 a.m., said Gorman. Gorman said it was his part- ner Esther Scherf—Durham’s idea to open for breakfast. Scherf- Durham used to be executive chef at The Wills()n-Walker House. The menu will feature break- fast all day long, sandwiches, fresh seafood and pasta. Gorman said he is taking into account that people are more health—con- scious,buthe willstillofferham- burgers, french fries, and onion rings. ‘ By Andrea Cobrin Phi News Editor Another new restaurant is coming to Lexington. A former Washington and Lee student is opening The Raven and Crown, a new restaurant and puB, under Mountain Copy Graphics. i Owner Chris Gorman envi- sions an Old English decor for The Raven and Crown, which he hopes to open by Alumni Week- end on May 7. Gorman said he wants the res- taurant to cater to W&L and VMI students as well as to local resi- dents. ‘‘I want a place that everyone feels comfortable in,” Gorman said. “A middle—of-the—road plade. Not too quiet, not too loud.” ‘ Gorman was a member of Washington & Lee’s class of 1988, but did not graduate from W&L. The Raven and Crown will be locged at 16 Lee Avenue. The space, which has been empty for two years, previously housed The Subway, a sandwich shop not related to the national chain. Subsequently, it was a meeting place for Sigma Nu fraternity whfle their house was being reno- vated. lower court’s decision, and preserve VMI’s current admissions policy. , The United States Court ofAppeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled last fall that VMI must admit women to the school, provide equal educational opportunities for women or lose their state funding. The court held that VMI may not continue its all-male admissions policy because the policy is inconsistent with the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Equal Protec- tion Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Women’s Washington Issues Network (Women- WIN), Women for VMI, Frank F. Hayden and Oscar W. King Ill, discuss in their brief that the Fourth Circuit’s decision could hurt women’s interests, ac- cording to a press release from O’Connor & Harman, a Washing- ton D.C. law fimt. They argue that the all-women admissions policies of Mary Baldwin College, Southem Virginia College for Women, Randolph- Macon Woman’s College, Sweet Briar College and Hollins College could be endangered by the circuit court’s decision. Hampden— Sydncy’s all-male admissions policy could also be threatened. Also in legal jeopardy would be publicly funded shelters for bat- tered women or rape crisis counsel- ing ccnters, which are normally pro- vided exclusively for women or have institutional missions targeted primarily to meet women’s needs, said the group. Women-WIN is a non-profit, Virginia corpora- tion founded by women and committed to the profes- sional development of women and men who support" limited government, individual responsibility, and economic rights. Women for V MI is an association of5,00() people who support single—sex education and consider the educational philosophy of VMI an important option for men. Frank Hayden, fomier president of the Detroit Board of Education, recommended establishing three public all-male schools in Detroit. He abandoned his plans as a result of a lawsuit raising a constitutional challenge identical to the one brought against VMI. Oscar King, former chairman of the Detroit chap- ter ofthe Urban League, is a proponent of central city all-male schools. The brief states if the circuitcourtdecision stands, it could jeopardize thelfuture of all single-gender programs funded by the govemment. The brief contends that the Equal Protection Clause requires that states provide “generally comparable access for women and men to government services.” These “opportunities may be evaluated in light of the rela- tive demands and needs of each gender for a particu- lar service.” The brief emphasizes the positive benefits that single—sex education can provide. It observes that charges of sex discrimination have thwarted at- tempts to organize single-sex educational programs. The brief was presented to the Supreme Court yesterday at 2 p.m. After hearing the presentation, the court can decide either to review the lower court’s decision or to let the ruling stand. to town Gorman said the average breakfast will be about $3, lunch $5, and dinner $7. The most expensive item on the menu will be about Si 1.50. Gorman said there will be two beers on tap and about 3() differ- ent bottled beers. “We want to have some inter- esting beers you don’t usually find,” Gorman said. The Raven and Cro“wn will offertakc-outand delivery within six blocks and will also be avail- able f or rental, said Gorman. “I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew initially,” said Gorman. “But I do have a lot of ideas for it.” Gorman said he and a few friends came up with the name for the restaurant. There is a black raven and a gold crown on the W&L crest. “I wanted to have a name that fit in with the atmosphere,” Gorman said. The Raven and Crown will employ about a dozen workers. Gorman said they will hire both W&L students and local resi- dents. Gorman said he wants to hold a special grand opening for the restaurant,‘ but he hasn ’ t made any definite plans. “I don’t want to be one of those places that opens with a boom and then fizzles out.” a Rising Class Officers and EC Reps.

According to two Law School Ex- ecutive Committee Representatives, studcnt carrel s in the Law Library have been the targets of numerous petty thefts. “It’s been happening all year,” said First-Year Law E.C. Rep Kevin Webb. “It deals with stuff from gum and pens and ranges up to sweatshirts and walkmans.” Director of Security,Mike Young said he believes the crimes are being committed by townspeople who wait until after dark to enter the library in order to steal items from the carrels. Young said he has reason to suspect a particular townsperson, but the suspect disappeared before his suspicions could be confirmed. Young said he has instructed the library staff to report any individuals they find suspicious-looking to secu- rity. According to Young, security staff will approach any suspicious in- dividual and will ask such an indi- vidual to leave the premises if they have no business in the library. But Webb isn’t so sure that towns- people are responsible. “I’d like to think that it's townies,” said Webb. “Some people have been saying ‘Hey- some law students have to be doing this/” Webb said the thefts are occurring too often for townspeople to be solely responsible. He said most of the items stolen are small, seemingly inconse- quential items, such as pens, chewing gum and soft drinks. But sometimes more expensive items are taken. “I had a walkman stolen,” said first- year law student Shelley Walters. Walters said she entered the library at 9 a.m. approximately two weeks ago to find that someone had gone through her carrel. “All the doors were standing wide open,” she said. Walters said she discovered that her walkman was missing, but did not re- port it to campus security beacuse she thought the chances that the walkman would be recovered were slim. Webb said thefts are reported to him almost every day. Items reported sto- len include sweatshirts, tape players, and a book bag in which a student’s money was kept. Third-Year Law EC Replay Sterne counts himself among the law students victimized by the thief. “I had ajacket taken from my car- rel,” he said. Sterne said the law library carrels are equipped with a lockable closet in which law students can store their valu- ables.‘ He said he has recommended that law students take advantage ofthis feature, despite the presence of the Honor System. , “Once you’re in the W&L commu- nity, you get that sense of trust in your environment,” he said. Webb said he has tried to put an end to the thefts. He wrote a letter to the . W&L Law News reviewing the phi- losophy found in the White Book. He said there is very little the EC can do in such situations because no specific stu- dents are suspected of stealing. Webb said he prefers that campus security handle the problem. Sterne also believes that the prob- lem is out of the EC’s hands. “Unfortunately, therc’s not much we can do,” he said. EC rejects latest budget proposal By FRANCESCA KIEFALAS Phi Executive Editor The Executive Committee rejected the bulk of the year's second proposed budget reformation March 30, while unanimously voting for one of its ar- ticles. ~ Second-year law student Laura Anderson first proposed the budget policy March 15. The proposal con- sisted of five articles and proposed the EC adopt a neutral policy of funding, which would allow the EC to fund all organizations, including partisan groups. The last attempt at budget reformation was made on February 1, when ACLU President Andrew Schneider proposed a policy to allow the EC to fund partisan groups. Anderson told the EC, if adopted, the new proposal would give all groups the opportunity to receive funds re- gardless of current or past partisan ties. The EC discussed the proposal, but did not vote at the time. Anderson returned to the EC March 29, at which point they voted on the proposal. The EC unanimously voted in favor of article three of the proposal, which said all organizations funded by the EC must be open to all members of the University community. Articles two and four were rejected by an eight to five vote. . Article two said the EC “will not punish or reward a student group for taking aposition of social importance.” Article four said EC-funded groups could not require dues. The purpose of the article was to ensure that all stu- dents, regardless of economic status, could participate in student organiza- tions. The EC did not motion to vote on articles one and five. Article one called for funding of all groups, partisan or non-partisan. Article five, which was inconsequential unless the whole pro- posal was passed, setup funding groups. Anderson said her greatest concern is the EC’s ability to change its budget- ing policy at will. “Hopefully the idea of getting some- thing codified will be passed on,” Anderson said. “People need to realize the possibilities ofadifferent EC doing things their own way.” ' EC Presidcntlosh MacFarland said the only two guides the EC has for policy-making are the White Book and the Student Body Constitution. The only guideline the EC has for budget- ing is a statement adopted November 2. That policy states the EC will not “directly fund politically and ideologi- cally partisan organizations. The Ex- ecutive Committee will remain neutral on issues of national politics and politi- cal ideology.” Anderson’s proposal received strong opposition from several EC members. EC Vice President Ames Hutton told Anderson the current bud- get policy works fine. “In my opinion you’re trying to fix something we do not perceive as bro- ken.” Junior EC Rep. Ashby Hackney warned Anderson about trving to change things too quickly. “People come to W&L for what it stands for,” Hackney said. “Granted, everything needs to change. But this is W&L and it’s not going to change overnight.” Freshman EC Rep. Peter Agelasto voted for all three articles of the new proposal. Agelasto said the current policy stilles groups anti keeps them from becoming active in the Washing- ton and Lee community. “I maintain that it is broke for me, and if it’s broke for me, it's broke,” Agelasto said. Third-year Law Rep. Jay Sterne, Second-Year Law Rep. James Rambeau and Sophomore Reps. Carol Pierce and Robert Stewart also voted for all three ariiclcs. Anderson said she will continue to work on a codified budget next year. She said she doesn’t mind writing re- jected proposals as long as the EC makes informed decisions. “Disagree or agree, but be informed about your decision,” Anderson said. , “l’ll spoon feed, they cart knock it down.” OCR::/Vol_092/WLURG39_RTP_19930422/WLURG39_RTP_19930422_002.2.txt PAGE 2 @112 itlingi-tum ifllii Founded September 18, 1897 The all-new, improved Phi “I heard you missed us... we're back!!!” ——David Lee Roth, Hot for Teacher Yes, the rumors you have heard buzzing around campus like so many spring bumblebees are true. The Phi is back, but this time we brought a few new friends with us. Most of our new editors. including some of the ones responsible for this editorial, have never been editors at the Phi before. So you ask, what's the point? Well, believe it ornot, we're really excited about ournew staff. We know what you're thinking: The Florida Marlins are excited about theirnew staff, but they're not writing editorials about it. Bear with us. Like so many major corporations today, the Phi has subjected itself to radical reform. We have downsized our staff, infused the tired, old Phi with fresh new talent and transfonned it into the new, rejuvenated Phi. So what does all this mean to you? It means a better newspaper. ‘ We have just one request: tell us what you think about the papers we put out. If you have questions or suggestions about policy, editorial decisions, or coverage call the executive editor, managing editor, or one of the news editors. Anyone is welcome to come into our office, which is located in the University Center room 208, to talk to an editor. h The new, improved Phi staff is dedicated to putting out a quality newspaper every week. Havefun and be careful Your Mom and Dad have probably used similar words of warning before, but they are just as relevant now as they were then. Every Spring Term, W&L students flock to Goshen, Panther Falls and other places to swim and have fun in the sun. Unfortunately, “nature's water parks” are not without their hazards. Such recreational areas have a dark history. Students who injure themselves at these springtime havens often escape after minor mishaps: a skinned knee here, a bruised am there. Others are not so lucky. , The sad truth is that some of the more serious accidents could be prevented by using common sense. Remember that alcohol and rivers don’t mix. Most importantly, use good judgement in your springtime excursions. The Phi would hate to have to report a tragedy. No More Quarters Effective immediate1y,The Ring-tum Phi will be available to all members of the Washington and Lee community free of charge. . We feel that it is important that the faculty and staff , as well as the students, be informed of campus events. The Phi will be available at the University Center and at the Co-op. Enjoy. Quote of the Week “Just because he sold the most albums doesn't mean he's the best. By that logic, rice would be the best food, Escorts would be the best car, Muslim would be the best religion and living in China would be really cool.'’ —a Washington & Lee student on Michael Jacksorfs claim to be the King of Pop / I // /‘ / WASHINGTON —— Strange thoughts beat upon the brain.

The building suggests a closed world without soft- ness, other than that of flesh. The building seems contorted by anxiety: Angles are odd, implying fissures in neck in the coarse hands of a strong woman (we see nothing of the woman above her biceps). The child, eyes closed, looks uncomfortable but re- signed to, and used to, rough handling. Her face is being wrcnched around to face the camera. The description of the photograph in the display in the new Holocaust Memorial Museum reads: “A mentally disabled girl photographed shortly before her mur- der.” We know the minds of the articulate haters whose ideologies fuel mass murder. But who can fathom the mind of the unknown photographer? The murder of the mentally handicapped was rehearsal for the Holocaust, the story of which is told with cold, controlled fury in the museum's artifacts and images. Visitors to the museum will see film (on screens behind walls too high for children to see over) of mob animalism and other cruelties so savage that they seem to suck the oxygen from the room. But the museum also tells horrifying truths with blander im- ages. Near the photograph of the dangling girl is a photograph of a big building, taken from across the tops of a town's leafy trees.

In mutual trust among students there exists free speech. According to our Constitution and succeeding case law the April Fool's Day issue of The Ring-tum Phi was a legally irreproachable publica- tion. The Student Conduct Committee will respect the Constitutional right to free speech, particularly that greater deference accorded the press in matters of the First Amendment. With such overwhelming privilege, however, ex- ists great responsibility. The Student Conduct Com- mittee feels that the incoming editorial board for The Ring-tum Phi should reflect on that responsibility and consider the philosophy of trust that is the basis for our lifestyle here at Washington and Lee. The April Fool 's issue was designed to shock and outrage at the expense of good taste and consideration of the reading audience. Visitors, not to mention the student body, at Washingtonaiid Lee that week were submit- ted to what amounted to bar room talk that lacked any intellectual or humorous worth. Children visiting the campus were presented with filth that did not speak well of the decorum of Washington and Lee students. The 1992-93 Editorial Board should be ashamed of its final edition. We hope that the next April Fool's issue will better reflcct the talent and creativity of journalists on our campus. The Student Conduct Committee is certain that there is greater ability as well as respoii— V sibility among The Riiig—tum Phi Editorial Board. 9 We hope that the next time the Editorial Board prints for mere shock value they will consider the mutual trust of the Washington and Lee community and the responsibility they have to honor that trust.

This unwarranted attack on the values held by any sensible human being is utterly reprehensible, without any ar- tistic or journalistic merit, and is not indicative in any way of the character that General Lee attempted to mani- fest within those students who studied under him, and still manifests itself in the vast majority of W&L students today.

I didn’t read the letter by Paul Wright to which he was re- sponding, but I can imagine what it said. I want to make it very clear that the Republican party is a very di- verse party. It embraces people of every race, religion, and class. More- over, it is home to people of wildly differing political philosophies. For — this reason, I think that portraying the party asa’whole as nothing more than monolithic organization of “moral ankruptcy” IS unfair. I, for one, believe very firmly that America must strive to rform a positive role in the world. he Ameri- can people were consistently satis- tied with President Bush’s conduct of foreign policy, it should be re- mflmbered, and with good reason. The Persian Gulf was a complicated situation, to be sure. Self-interest was definitely apartof our actions against Saddam Hussein. But I would re- mind Mr. Peterson that President Bush’s rationale for involvement was also animated by a deep sense of Christian com assion for the Ku- waiti people. ur reasons were not totally pure - we admit that — but we did do the right thing. The same can be said of Somalia. To sum up, I am proud to be a member of the Republican party, a party which was consistently seen as “idealistic” and “humanitarian” role for the United States in world af- fairs. I ampfottd‘tI'ia§IIiW.tii1a€world that--has been-positively -influenced (on balance) by the constructive ef- forts of members of both political parties. In fact, I am even proud to live in a country where narrow- minded and insensitive attitudes to- ward the world are quickly exposed by decent Americans like Justin Peterson. The work of peace still beckons us, and I he e that Mr. Peterson will join those 0 us in the intemationalist wings of both parties to see that it gets done. I am sure that he will. Nicholas L. Waddy, ’96 ‘Sports coverage biased . To the Editor: I am writing in regard to the selec- tive coverage of your sports section. Mgre specifically, I am writing to you about the horrible bias in what sports get space and what get zero recogni- tion. Since the spring season has begun, the baseball team has gotten first class coverage about their many thrilling deffats while the Washington and Lee go team prospers in obscurity. I am an avid golf fan and I would very much like to see articles about this team which last time I checked, was doing much better than the baseball team. The past few times I have turned to the sports page I have been very disappointed because the golf team has been neglected every time. This angers me more than disap- points me because you are inferring that golf is an inferior sport, which it certainly is not. Perhaps you will listen to me and pay attention to the golf team and other neglected sports because if you do not, you'll have one less reader or campus. Jay Didier, ’96 To the Editor: Mr. Peterson’s letter regarding the “unambitious outlook” of the Contact Committee came as quite a surprise. He hastily fails to see beyond the names of several of the Contact speakers, and probably did not attend the lectures to which he referred in his March 11 letter. Men such as Dick Vitale, Rocky Bleier, G. Gordon Liddy, Ed Meese, contrary to Mr. Peterson’s opinions, have plenty to.offer-.t ~. ,. . . Last year’s Dick v\litala.speeclLwas.t K ' one of the best" attended Contact events *' of the year. While his speech did fre- quently refer to sports, the main thrust of his presentation was to promote higher education and discourage dmg abuse. Frivolous ideas? Wasted money? Similarly, Mr. Bleier’s talk was also well-attended and a truly inspiring dis- course on overcoming adversity. If one actually attended the speech and heard the challenges Mr. Bleier faced, I hardly think that one would call him a “trivial celebrity;” I’m sure that the thousands of Vietnam veterans would agree. I recognize the fact that Mr. Peterson and others on this campus do not agree with the ideas and outlook of G. Gor- don Liddy or Ed Meese. That is clearly their right, and I admire their convic- tions. However, if they can find politi- cal speakers with everyone in the W&L community will agree, I suggest that they interview for my job. As for the general jab at the so- called conservatism of our committee, it is unfounded. Contact played a key role in bringing both James Farrar and Faye Wattleton to our campus. I do not believe that they are conservative, but correct me if I am wrong. In terms -'of'educational speakers, ;_'Dor-Nerf, the producer of “Columbus and the Age of Discovery.” He deliv- ered an historically accurate, entenain- in g presentation on Columbus’ discov- ery of America. Incidentally, this thought-provoking, educational speaker was the worst—attended lecture of our series. I appreciate the concern and interest in the nature of lectures sponsored and co-sponsored by Contact. It pleases me to know that many people take an inter- est in the work that our committee does throughout the year. However, I do not appreciate ignorant, unfounded, biased slander against Contact. Please get your facts straight, Mr. Peterson. David C. DeMilt, ’93 Contact Committee Chairman Phi golf coverage lacking To the Editor: I am quite upset about your lack of golf coverage in the Ring-tum Phi.

The work was a pain in the butt, but at least I have money for Foxfield. .Things have been hectic lately. The FAX transmissions have been piling up at Spos Central Command to the point ground on Thunderbird. Here’s an excerpt: “The Thunderbird introduction in the mid-l95()’s in- cluded television advertising featuring Sebastian Cabot, Tab Hunter, Caesar Romero and James Mason... Their appeal did not extend to Skid Row.” Sheah...right! Please, Mr. Solomon, ‘of being declared hazards to aviation by the FAA. Soplease allow me to get some of this stuff out of the way. .,First, Spos would like to sincerely thank those rising seniors who voted for him in the recent election for class president (all l4of you). Any- way, the masses have spoken. Sheah...right! Please, Mr. Solomon, explain why several self-respecting ce- lebrities would endorse a wine that costs about as much as a roach motel and tastes like battery acid. Because they got paid. That’s why. explain why several self -respectin g celebri - ties would endorse a wine that costs about as much as a roach motel and tastes like battery acid. Because they got paid. That’s why. Also, Gallo may not directly produce MD Congratulations to Bill Chappell, whose margin of vigtory in the election was nothing short of embarrassingly massive. Spos now realizes that running on the “better senior party” platform may not have served his interests in the optimal way. So what if the rising senior class would rather have a smoothly-running student government than a senior party blowout complete with 147 kegs and Guns ‘N’ Roses. It’s their choice. ‘Secondly, Spos recently received a brief note from one Daniel T. Solomon, communications director for Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery in Modesto, California. It seems that a copy of Spos’ column on cheap wine had found its way to 20/20 or Lightning Creek, but my sources in New York maintain that Gallo indirectly owns the coni- panies thatdoproduce them. You can't fool the Sposmeister. All kidding aside, Spos would like to thank Mr. Solomon . for his kind letter, which he closes by inviting Spos to raise a glass of wine together. One of these days, Mr. Solomon, we will drink together. You will understand if Spos brings his own wine selection, I hope. To conclude this week ’s column, Spos would like to wish everyone a fun-filled exciting weekend. Just remember, Foxfield can be fun, even if you don't get to see the horses. I'll see you there.

They have given a number of entertaining and high-spirited perfor- V mances throughout the year. But many students may not be aware that there is a third co-ed a capella group called General Admission which was founded this year by freshmen Gretchen Hall and Phaedra Cianciulli. twice a week throughout winter term. A Hall and Cianciulli share responsibility for the group; Hall works on the business end, making arrangements and dealing with the administration, while Cianciulli handles the musical aspect. The groups’s faculty advisor is Ms. Courtney Birch. The group has prepared a wide variety of songs ranging from folk to spirituals to alternative groups such as They Might Be Giants for their upcoming concert, which will take place on Wednesday, April 28th at 8 p.m. in the GHQ. General Admission will bejoined by the Virginia Bells and the Hullabahoos, the all—female and all-male a capella groups from UVa. An unusual aspect of General Adrnission’s performance is that they incor- Hall and Cianciulli orga- nized the group, which cur- rently has seven women and g six men, because they saw the need for a vocal group _ that combined women and men. “The all-male and all—fe- male groups on campus are very good, and we thought it was just as likely that a co-ed group can do as well,” porate comical skits along the lines of Saturday Night Live and Monty Python into their reper- toire.

We wanted to give more of an opportunity on campus for students to be a part of an a capella group.”~ Hall and Cianciulli patterned the new group after similar groups at other universities and colleges such as the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania and the University of Virginia. Hall and Cianciulli held auditions before Winter break, and the singers that were selected have been rehearsing General Admission rehearses for Tuesday’s concert that General Ad- mission will de- velop into a well respected and im- portant part of W&L culture. Cianciulli said, “T he music’s been a lot of fun, and it’s also been great getting to know everyone. We have a diverse group of people that has really come together.” The members of General Admission are Jennifer Fern, Kate Wood, Allyson Gardner, Kim Gartrell, Gretchen Hall, Robin King, Phaedra Cianciulli, Rob Neel, S.R.

Student questions sexuality after homosexual encounter future plans for commitment are with women mean you are squarely in the heterosexual end of the continuum. Unless" you begin more regularlyexperiencing gay sex I couldn't even describe you as bisexual. Perhaps the experience you have had can be instruc- tive. In the first place it may take you past labels and stereotypes. More than that it may empower you to see beyond homophobia and to embrace a vision of sexual orientation which views diversity in terms other than a good-bad or right-wrong dichotomy. The fact that you don’t find homosexuality totally disgusting may make this easier for you. One thing you need to bear in mind is that given your orientation you can choose not ever again to have a same sex experience and not to be troubled by that option. Were you one of the 6-9 percent who are homosexual, such an outcome would not be possible. In that situation your only options would be living as a gay man or being celibate and denying your essential personhood. There is one cautionary note. Are there other things that have happened as a result of drinking that worry you or that you would not have done were you sober? If the answer is yes you may wnat to moderate somewhat your relationship with beverage alcohol. This is not to say stop drinking or partying, just an invitation for some self -reflection in that department. The issues of sexual behavior, sexual orientation and confidence in one’s mas- culinity/femininity are important all through life but especially critical dur- ing the college years. If you or any other reader would want to discuss this in person with me please feel free to make an appointment through Mrs. Calkins (ext. 8590). The Ask Dr. Worth column can only continue if questions are sent to me. You can write methrough the U.S. mail system, slip an envelope undermy wait- ing room door, or give a letter to Mrs. Calkins (who will treat it and you with total confidentiality). Future columns really depend on student responses. Ask Dr. Worth by Dr. James Worth After a prolonged absence this column is returning in response to a letter received near the end of last term, too late for an article until now. The letter, which is abbreviated, went as follows: . Dr. Wonh: During my sophomore year, I messed around with a buddy of mine when we were drunk. When I woke up the next moming I couldn’t explain it.

The Generals play for their third consecutive con- ference title this weekend at Sweet Briar. The women finished with a 14-4 overall record and were a per- fect 8-0 in the ODAC. The Generals only less in their last nine matches came against Di- vision II power Armstrong State. Sophomore Marilyn Baker is 14-3 on the season. Of her losses, two came versus players ranked among Division III’s top seven and the other was against Armstrong State. The men's lacrosse team is still on pace for an ODAC season—end- ing showdown with Roanoke Col- lege. The Generals kept their con- ference mark perfect on Tuesday witha 17-6 win atHarnpden-Sydney College. Senior Wiemi Douguih scored a career high seven goals, one short of the school record. Douguih had five goals in the first quarter the l lth-ranked Gener- als went out to a 7-0 lead. Douguih has a team—leading 29 goals for the season. Scott Mackley netted three for W&L, who are now 8-2 overall, 4-0 in the ODAC. During the Spring Break, the Generals romped Virginia Wesleyan (29-1) and Haverford (16-5) before SPORTS NOTEBOOK falling in a heart-breaker to 5th- ranked Washington College, 12- 10. W&L had led 7-5 at halftime, but WC broke a 10-10 tie with 6:()7 to play for the win. Senior David Lefkowitz scored four goals for the Generals, three in the second hall’. Washington & bee will host Guilford on Saturday at 2 p.m. on Wilson Field. A victory will likely mean that W&L and Roanoke will both be undefeated in conference play when they meet at Wilson Field on Saturday, May 6, to decide the ODAC championship. The women ’s lacrosse team also had a big win on Tuesday, beating Hollins College, 21-4. Senior Lisa Dowling could have done the job by herself. She scored 11 (Yes, E—L-E-V-E-N!) goals to shatter her own school record, pre- viously eight. Dowling has 65 goals on the season. That’s 20 more than the school record she had set last year.

Golf— ODAC Championship in Richmond APRIL 22, 1993 Baseball team hits rocky road Generals are outscored 73-24 in last seven games By Kl-Il‘l'll GRANT Phi Staff Writer Now that Mother Nature is through having fun with the Washington and Lee athletic schedules, itis theplayer’s turn to wreak havoc on what were the Fields of Streams. The baseball team got back to work immediately after winter term exams, playing eight games in ten days. Tues- day, the team dropped their seventh in a row, 14-2 at Hampden-Sydney. Starting pitcher Bates Brown had the Generals in the game through the firstfive innings, trailingjust4—0. How- ever, the Tigers sank their teeth into W&L’s hurlers and put six runs on the board in the sixth to seal the game in a hurry. Freshmen Matt Ermigiotti relieved Brown and classmate Greg Pope threw the final two innings. The crushing blow was a grand, slain by Hampden-Sydney’s Mark Hazelwood. Taylor Rhodes went 4- for-5 for the Tigers. Senior captain Jon Hesse had three hits in five at bats for the Generals, lifting his season batting average to a career high .333. Sophomore Geren Steiner had two hits for W&L. Steiner and Hesse are amongthe five W&L regulars batting above .300. With the defeat, Washington and Lee drops their record to 4-10, 3-8 in the Old Dominion Athletic Confer- ence. _ After a double-header split with St. Mary’s College last week, W&L was 4-4 overall, 3-2 in the ODAC. Fresh- man Graig Fantuzzi earned his team- high third win in the opener, an extra- inning 12-11 victory. However, the Generals dropped the second game 12-1 to begin the present losing streak. W&L has been outscored 73-24 in the last seven games. The toughest defeat was an 8-7 loss at Bridgewater in 11 innings, the Generals’ longest game this season. The team’s offensive and pitching numbers are much better than last year’s, when they went 4-21, 1-15 in the ODAC. The previous two games have been very sobering, though. They have been outscored 23-2. The last time their opponnents were held to fewer than seven runs was the fifth game of the season. The Generals host that team, Lynchburg College, Thursday at Smith Field. They then face a pivotal test this weekend, playing back-to—back double- Swim Lessons - $20 3 393510" ff ed ' 8 I Is of classes from beginner to lifeguard at the $5/%§1r.aIr3]iii:r)er€sIty Rggistration April 24 at 10 a.m. on pool balcony.
