Thieves strike student autos Last’ I->See EC, page 7 Photo by Bethany Smith, The Ring-mm Phi A Chemistry Project W&L Security confiscated this marijuana-smoking device recently. The bong is made from materials “borrowed” from the chemistry department. A member of the chemistry department found the bong during the summer and turned it over to security. Among the items confiscated by security this year: beer kegs and beer funnels. Director of Security Mike Young said security returns kegs to the distributor after confiscation. Two kegs were taken early this year, while over 30 were taken during the course of last year. —-Ethan Krupp By THOMAS Hesros Phi News Editor If you park your car in a uni- versity lot overnight, you should probably reconsider. Thieves have hit at least three student cars in the past week and a half, breaking side windows and removing car stereos. “My door window had been broken out,” said freshman Ja- son Barton, describing how thieves broke into his Mitsubishi Eclipse in the freshman parking lot. Barton said thieves removed his Alpine CD player from the dashboard of his car. Washing- ton and Lee Security called Barton at 2:30 a.m. on Friday morning to inform him that his car had been broken into. Secu- rity also called freshman Philip Jordan after determining that Jordan’s car had also been bro- ken into. “Somebody knocked out the small vent window,” said Jor- dan. Jordan’s CD player was also removed from his car. .lordan’s car alarm was set off by the thieves, but the thieves entered the engine compartment and cut the wire that provided power to the alarm system, thus silencing it. Between Barton and Jordan, $1,300 worth of property was damaged or stolen. Perhaps the same thieves vic- timized senior Leland Yee, who had his window smashed and his stereo stolen. Yee described his stereo as “a cheap model.” “You’d think they would at least take a decent one,” said Yee, who reported only $190 worth of damage on the police report. Yee’s car was parked in the university lot near the Lenfest Center when it was burglarized. Chief Bruce Beard of the Lex- ington Police Department said the police have some suspects in the break-ins. According to Beard, Washington and Lee Se- curity officers also have some suspects of their own. “W&L Security saw some suspiciouslookingvehicles,” said Beard. According to Jordan, police may attempt to apprehend the criminals by taking fingerprints from the car. All three victims have filed reports with the po- lice. Yee found some irony in the situation. “I survived an entire summer in D.C.,” he said, “and I get back here, and what’s the first thing that happens to me?” IFC hands down Rush violations By NANCY PAvLov1C Phi Managing Editor As Tear Night draws near, two more fraternities join Pi Phi in the ranks of those who have violated Rush rules. Phi Delta Theta and Chi Psi each received Rush violations stemming from two separate incidents which occurred last week. Chi Psi received the violation for breaking closed contact rules. Under closed Contact rules, freshmen and upperclassmen fraternity members cannot talk to each other. According to Chi Psi President John Hudson, the violation occurred last Tuesday after Rush Open House Night number “You’re not supposed to have contact after 9 p.m.,” Hudson said. “Some guys were talking to the freshmen at the house after the open house.” Hudson said a freshman who was not at the house reported the incident. “He knew the guys that were here and took it upon himself to tell a Rush Counselor who in turn took it upon himself to bring it to the IFC,” Hudson said. Phi Delt received their violation when members of the fraternity purchased beer for some freshmen men, lnterfratemity Vice President Ryan Donaldson said. hvsee RUSH, page 6 TWO. By NANCY PAvLovic Phi Managing Editor A non-tenured professor will make Washington and e history as she challenges her department’s decision to not renew her contract. Assistant Professor of English Demaree C. Peck filed an appeal with the President’s Advisory Com- mittee Friday, Sept. 24, requesting a review of the English Department’s decision to not continue her contract. “In essence, it is a denial of tenure,” Peck said. “It cuts short my probationary period by two years. I had not been led to expect that decision.” Peck, who joined the faculty in 1988 as an in- structor in English, began a four-year probationary period for a tenure track position in the department the following fall. Candidates for a tenured position must complete a six-year probationary period before being considered for tenure. Peck would have been up for a tenured position in 1994-95. However, in May of 1993, the eight tenured mem- bers of the English department examined a portfolio of material which included student evaluations, re- views by faculty who had visited her class, letters solicited by the department from all her former stu- dents as well as three articles she has had published and several chapters from her book on Willa Cather. According to English Department Head Edwin D. Craun, the department followed the procedures out- lined in the University Faculty Handbook in consid- ering her case. Under these procedures, her job per- formance must be evaluated in three areas, namely teaching effectiveness, intellectual achievement and academic citizenship. It was at this time that the Professor appeals decision Craun however would not comment on the spe- cific reasons for her dismissal in order to protect Peck’s privacy. “We are not allowed to make anything but the most general statements,” he said. Peck though is not sure how or why the depart- ment arrived at its decision. ‘‘I can’t really speak about the English department’s decision because I don’t really know what they considered,” she said. “They told me they were not going to renew my contract because of deficiencies in academic citizenship and deficien- cies in teaching which have not been specified. I don’t understand the decision; it hasn’t been ex- plained to me.” After classes ended last spring, Peck began look- I->See PECK, Page 7 department opted not to renew her contract. By MICHAEL Hswusrr Phi Staff Writer Virginia Military Institute has submitted a federal court a proposal to resolve the controversy over whether women should be admitted to VMI. According to a copy of the “VMI Defendants’ Proposed Remedial Plan”, a Virginia Women’s Institute for Leadership would be established at Mary Baldwin Col- lege. Virginia Tech would maintain its co- educational Corps of Cadets. The Leader- ship Institute would be open to all qualified women and will in some ways be similar to VMI. In the proposal VMI cited numerous times the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court of Appeals which found that a single—gender undergraduate institution is justified and can ., be beneficial “for young women who may be otherwise be denied leadership opportuni- ties in coeducational settings.” Under the ruling the state must establish an equal edu- cational opportunity to women that is similar to VMI. VMI assertsthat its plan satisfiesthe Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. According to Crista Kcade. Director of Institutional Advancement at Photo by Bethany Smith, The Ring-tum Phi f irginia Military Institute cadets in formation Mary Baldwin, said that the 4th Circuit Court will hear debate on the plan on January 6,. Public Relations Director Lt. Col. Mike Strickler said that Governor Wilder has ap- proved of the plan. According to Strickler, a subcommitte consisting of two members of VMI ’s Board of Visitors, two members of Mary Baldwin’s Board of Visitors, and five members of the govemor’s staff will over- see the program on a continous basis. As opposed to women schools such as Southern Virginia School for Women, Mary Baldwin was chosen primarily because it was a four year college and has had long tradition of educating women, according to Strickler. Kcade said that the academic faculty on September 24 accepted the concept of the Virginia Women’s Institute for Leadership as being in line with the school’s committment to educating women by a vote of 52-8. She stresses, however, that no specific plans for the Leadership Institute have been made. Kcade said that the president, Cynthia H. Tyson has endorsed the plan, but an aca- demic curriculum has not been established. Strickler says that students in the Leader- ship Institute would be lodged in the regular dormitories, but once the number reaches VMI proposes compromise I->See VMI, page 6 Photo by Bethany Smith, The Ring-tum Phi A student uses one of Annie’s terminals. Annie is now equipped with more features, which will make research easier, than before. Annie’s new dress Computer gets a face lift By MELISSA SAWYER Phi Staff Writer The students and staff of Washing- ton and Lee now have more access than ever to electronic information. The W&L on-line catalogue, named “Annie,” is available to all computer users with Liberty accounts. Through Annie, users can access a wide array of information around the world. Annie is updating its technology. “Two years ago it would not have been possible to do this,” said Hugh Blackmer, a reference assistant at Leyburn Library. Blackmer regularly updates the system’s resources. Part of the new system includes Gopher, a campus-wide information system. It is internationally connected to list electronic periodicals according to subject. Blackmer and other pro- grammers regularly choose and catego- rize new electronic periodicals to add under the various headings. In addition, Gopher now contains several step-by- step guides to using the computer sys- tem itself. Blackmer said that the Gopher sys- tem is constantly being updated. He said that professors could even put their lecture notes on the computer system for students to retrieve at their leisure. bsee ANNIE, page 6 OCR::/Vol_093/WLURG39_RTP_19931001/WLURG39_RTP_19931001_002.2.txt _PAGE2 rihe amg-tum am The Student Voice of Washington and Lee Founded September 18, 1897 Lock it up It is a frustrating feeling. You walk out to your car to drive out to Wal-Mart or McDonald’s or whatever and you find a surprise: your window is smashed. That’s not all... several valuables are missing, including your car stereo. If you read our story on automobile break-ins this week, you will soon realize that this is not happening just in New York or Los Angeles. It is happening right here in Lexington. In fact, it is happening right here on our campus. Problems like this are extremely frustrating. After all, you can’t sit around watching your car all day long. The bottom line is this: If thieves want to get at the contents of your car, there is very little you can do to stop them. What you can do is try to make your car look less inviting to a burglar. Locking doors is not enough. If you have valuables in your car, cover them with a jacket or a towel. If you have a pull-out stereo or a removable face- plate, take it with you. If you have a car alarm, arm it. Truly, having to invest in an auto security system in Lexington is sad, but it is a sadder experience to come out to the car one morning to find a surprise. We are used to leaving our personal belongings around campus and find- ing them in the same place when we return. It is time for Washington and Lee students to realize that despite the honor system that governs our lives, we are not living in a theft-free world. One can almost see how an outsider could consider W&L a thieves’ paradise. Students leave the tops on their convertibles down and merrily skip along to class, without a single concern in the world, leaving valuables out in the open. If we were thieves, we would probably spend some time in Lexington, too. So, don’t trust the world. The world does not live by the Honor System. Separate and not equal Soon a judge will decide whether or not Virginia Military Institute’s proposal for remedying their co—education problem is suitable. If the judge likes the plan, Mary Baldwin will become the home of the Virginia Women’s Institute for Lead- ership and VMI will go on as it has since its beginnings. ..

The exhibit was a thought provoking educa- tional display of library books, statistical information and other factual material supporting both groups’ belief that the death penalty is a violation of human rights. The Executive Committee refuses to fund any group which takes a position on controversial issues such as capital punishment. The EC likes to call such groups “ideologically partisan.” They believe by “ap- proaching issues of national politics with complete neutrality,” they can best serve the W&L community. If the truth be known, the Executive Committee is not living up to its own ideals. How can the Executive Committee claim that it is completely neutral to issues of national politics when they fund groups like the AIDS Education Project? Is not AIDS prevention, like the death penalty, a politicized national issue? How about the Outing Club and their promotion of recycling? Women’s Forum, Men’s Panel and the pus.

Their fears are clearly unwarranted as one can see jusgby looking across the ravine how the law school ably manages to fund all of their organizations regard- less of a group’s ideology. Finally, the EC is fond of making the argument that the Graham-Lee-Washington Society and the Contact Committee, both of which receive EC funding, fulfill the campus need for intellecyial discourse and the free flow of ideas. Unfortunately, the Executive Committee does not appreciate the vitality and energy which politically oriented groups bring to the intellectual discourse and free flow of ideas on campus.

The proposal will create another state-‘funded insti- tute that will supposedly give women the same leadership and military skills that men receive at VMI. Proponents of the new plan say that women and men learn differently and build confidence and character in different ways. There are not too many people that would be willing to argue against this point. But will the separate institutions provide the same opportuni- ties for their graduates? Before any judge okays this plan, that judge needs to sit down and think deeply about its consequences. That judge needs to ask some tough questions that may not be easily answered. VMI graduates have many opportunities for state jobs because they are VMI graduates. Will a woman who has graduated from Baldwin’s Leadership program be given those same opportunities? Will the military embrace one of Baldwin’s graduates as it does VMI’s graduates? These are not meaningless questions. If the state intends to create an equal opportunity for women, it has to make sure that opportunity is equal on all levels. Unfortunately, history has shown that separate usually does not mean equal.

Sarah Wyatt Address thepoorindiv Last week I saw something that we who are wrapped in our tight little cocoons of parental support rarely glimpse—the real face of poverty. “Joshua,” as I shall call him for anonymity’s sake, is neither devil nor saint. He is neither wholly respon- sible for his plight nor free of guilt. Joshua is 46 years old. He has no marketable skills. His last job was Joshua’s wife, you see, is handi- capped. She is burdened by a debili- tating and eventually fatal disease that confines her to a wheelchair. When the state learned that Joshua’s time working at Hardee’s left Matthew at home with his mother, they intervened. Because his wife could not adequately care for her child, the state insisted Joshua not leave the child alone with part-time her. Failure minimum- to comply wage work at with this di- Hardee’s, on r e c t iv e which he and Ryan would have his wife resulted in “ b a r e I y l)ennard9 Matthewbe- scraped by.” ’94 ing taken Before he into the cus- was married, tody of the Joshua was state. regularly in Because trouble with the law. Released from prison without a way to support him- self, he soon turned to petty theft, stealing small items from local apart- ments and then selling them. While he has, by all appearances, put those par- ticular misdeeds behind him, they surely help to account forthe financial situation he now finds himself in. While a part-time job and marriage seemed to bode well for Joshua, new trouble soon arrived in the unlikely form of a child. The third member of Joshua’s family is a blonde haired, blue eyed beauty of a boy, eighteen months of age. “Matthew’s” face glows like the sun on a weekend mom- ing and his constant curiosity leads one to think the child would be of some promise were his social situa- tion improved. Joshua clearly loves the child and maybe it is fatherhood that has finally tamed his less desirable impulses. He handles Matthew with a love and pa- tience that I have seen in few fathers. Joshua’s son has brought joy into his life, but he has also brought difficul- ties. minimum wage will not pay for a baby-sitter, Joshua quit his regular job and now does odd jobs on which he can take his son. That is how I met Joshua. He was going from door to door, carrying Matthew, asking if there were any chores he might do. Odd jobs have not provided enough to support the family and they have sold most of their meager possessions. Their house is no larger than one of ourclassrooms. It makes my run-down apartment look like middle-class com- fort. Unable to pay their bills, they have now had their gas shut off, and they have been unable to bathe for a week. They have no phone. They have no car and Joshua must hitchhike (with Matthew) to find work or purchase diapers. So Joshua goes door to door refusing handouts but begging work. People do not like to see poverty and as a consequence they do not like to see Joshua. Often, when he knocks on a door looking for menial work, the police are quickly called and he is chased off as a nuisance. Perhaps Joshua is a nuisance, es- pecially when he intrudes on our two car garages and white picket fences, but there are other questions that need to be asked. Just what is this man supposed to do? We wish he did not exist, that this suffering did not con- front us. But he does exist, and we should wonder how we would support ourselves and our family were we in his shoes. It is not a half-fictional, emotional portrait that I have painted. These are simply the facts. There are, of course, other facts, which will either allow you to push the image of this man from your mind with a clear con- science, or, if you still care, will strike a chord of helplessness about the whole issue. Joshua’s troubled past may be rel- evant, but he has also contributed to his troubles in the present. While they cannot pay their gas bill, the family- has a dog. Be- sides the expense of feeding it, the dog’s recent ad- ventures in a neighbor’s yard cost Joshua 75 dollars in fines. That is what led to his inability to pay his gas bill. Joshua also smokes, to the People do not like to see poverty, and as a consequence they do not like to see Joshua.

You cannot sell your pos- sessions forever. And what long-terrn good could it do to pay off his gas bill? It would only be turned off again when he vgas unable to pay next month. Joshua is very juvenile in that he seems unable to grasp and deal decisively with the big picture and instead lives day to day. The decisions people make are impor- tant. We want to help but we do not want to throw money away, either. We want Joshua, and those like him, to be resp<9n- sible. But what do we do if someone is willing to make a clean start? Does it matter that sometime in the past they may have laid the foundation of their current troubles? Perhaps.What if the problems come from decisions made in ignorance rather than malice? What about Matthow and those like him? How do we help the child without sup- porting the irre- sponsibility of the parent? I have asked plenty of qu@- tions, but cannot begin to give an- swers. Maybe there are no an- swers. In the end the points I want to make are simlje tuneofacartona are quickly called and ones.

Last year, I found the Phi to be about the worst college rag I had ever seen — anywhere. Its negative tone and salacious fixations were an embarrassment to many members of the community. As a newly recruited faculty member, I felt so demoralized by the Phi that I soon stopped reading it. Had we moved to Washington and Lee or to Sodom and Gomorrah, I wondered! Happily, this dismal period in the Phi ’s history now seems to have ended. Once again, people are writing about what is interest- ing and important to all of us: health care, alcoholism on campus, cultural diversity, and films — not just about fraternity brawls. Usually, the quality of a college newspaper is a reflection of the quality of the college itself. A good college therefore needs and deserves, a good student paper.

The other day I was sitting in the Ring-tum Phi office (or, as we call it, “Shangri-Phi,”) reading other peoples’ computer files and listening to the ra- dio. ' At the end ofa WREL “music mix” gvhich typically consists of successive ngs by Elton John, Metallica, Barney the Dinosaur, James Brown, and Zamfir, master of the pan flute), the disk jockey came on the air and an- nounced that the fourth person to call the WREL studio line would win two tickets for World Championship Wres- tflng in Roanoke with Ravishing Rick Rude and Ric “Nature Boy” Flair. It was not necessary to know the answer to a trivia question or anything; you just had to be the right caller. This was a contest that required no talent, and since I don’t have any, I called in. G The disk jockey picked up and in- formed me that I had won. A few min- utes later, he aired our recorded con- versation, which included my sponta- neous comment that “I have really been looking forward to seeing WCW wres- tling.” . Phi Art Director Phil Carrott wit- nessed my excitement in the office at having won. This included several rebel yells, setting off of small fireworks, a prank call to Carol Calkins, and several shots at the Phi dart board with some X-Acto knives. I then decided that a i all-expense-paid trip to Roanoke was in order, to investigate the news- worthy effects of fat sequined men tackling each other and their impact on Washington and Lee students (me). Accompanied by my friend and pro- fessional wrestling aficionado Nick,we arrived in Roanoke expecting all of the sports world’s major figures, as well as all of the networks, to be on hand for the upcoming match. However, we were met at the parking lot by a traffic attendant, who was simultaneously di- recting us to a lot and trying to calcu- late the black market value of our car’s spare parts. Before I go on, I must take a minute to say that I, as a habit, do NOT attend WCW events, except whenever 1) they are free 2) I am really bored, and 3) I want to hang out with the cultural elite of southwest Virginia. I must emphasize how elite the crowd was: they tucked in their WCW T-shirts and spit into cups instead of onto the floor. They stood in line to purchase copies of WCW magazine which was touted, various times over the loudspeaker throughout the evening, as pretty much the authority on Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat’s family life, the break-up of the British Bulldogs, and Arne Anderson’s new line of action figures. Nick and I took our seats and waited for the match. After several minutes, the stadium lights dimmed, and sud- denly there was a distinctive white light reflecting from the WCW wres- tling mat and the voices of angels were singing in the background (or maybe it was the non-stop screams from the groups of 14-year-old boys sitting near us). We definitely had entered wres- tling nirvana. There were several matches between wrestlers whose names I cannot recall, (I guess they could be classified in the wrestling “minor leagues,” not yet measuring up to WCW professional standards). I do remember that one of their names sounded something like “Hespos,” but I couldn’t be sure. Any- way, one of these matches involved a British wrestler who was accompanied by his top-hatted valet. Now, please forgive me if you are up on WCW trivia and know his name, but take it from me, it didn’t matter what this guy’s name was; once the audience heard he was British, he was doomed. The 14-year-old boys were shouting “U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A., etc.,” waving the American flag, and shouting for his opponent to kick England’s butt. At this point Nick raised the relevant point that it sure has been a long time since En- the ring onto the ground. This is the maxim of professional wrestling; for every action there is an opposite and exaggerated reaction. The finale of the evening was defi- ‘nitely the title fight: Rick Rude vs. Ric Flair. Before the actual competition, both Rude and Flair gave a brief speech touting their sports prowess,_ good looks, and virtues of their home states, and then stripped off their robes. The immediate impression on the audience was: these guys are really, really old. And look at their hair! Who did that? Clorox?

Even though our seats were high up in the Civic Center, we could for sure detect about 3 inches of space between a wrestler’s blow and the part of the other wrestler’s body the first guy supposedly hit. It was as if both wrestlers had major depth percep- tion problems. This was no matter, because even if one of the wrestlers had given the other a “high-five,” the other probably would have reacted by flipping over backwards, hitting the ropes around the mat, and flying out of assume also for spite,because only minutes earlier Rude had derided the crowd by calling them a bunch of “Backwoods Roanokers.” Rude violated the sacred wrestling rule of not taunting the crowd especially when many of them are from the back- woods, from Roanoke, and have guns. And he paid the price. He was still lying on the mat when we left. All and all, that evening was pretty interesting. Scary, yes, but also inter- esting. So, if you’re bored one week- end and you want a little spoits action, go see the WCW. Join the invasion. Confederate flag symbolizes pride MY VIEW ‘ Nicholas Waddy, ’96 When I read Michael Hewlett’s invective against the Confederate battle flag in last week’s Phi (part two in his now-weekly “Sins of the Honkies” series), I was really quite bothered. I promised that I would respond. Since the Confederate flag is an honorable flag, I will try to give it an honorable defense. Let me be clear: I am not a Southerner. I am from upstate New York, where, far-from"naving~a’draw1,'-‘1 we speak with a distinct nasal accent, usually foiind only in lower primates with sinus conditions. Atany rate, because of my place of residence, I cannot be accused of writing this out of any blind parochialism. Nefend the flag not because it is “mine,” but because it deserves to be defended. Mr. Hewlett had a lot to say about how the Confed- erate flag is a symbol of “[a] time when black women were raped and black men were emasculated. .. when homeland. Dean thanks FOC, T9 the editor, I would like to take this opportunity to thank publicly the entire W&L com- munity for providing such a warm and enthusiastic welcome to the class of 1997 during the Freshman Orientation program. Of particular importance was the wbrk of the Freshman Orientation Com- mittee, and its leadership, Carlin Jones and Phil McCoy, and the Dormitory Counselors, all of whom gave unflaggingly of themselves. Planning and organizing orientation activities and st‘affing virtually every orientation event-—from Playfair to airport shuttles——made for a very smooth opening week. Thanks also go to: Mr. Jim Arthur, Mr. Randoph Hare, Mr. Bill Radford, and their staff who saw to it that all of the dormitories and other facilities were in immaculate condition for Check-in day; Mr. Jerry Darrell and Mr. John Taffe and their staff who furnished the culinary touches for several meetings and special occa- sions; Jim Farrar, RobMish, Jerilyn Farren, Southern Comfort, Jubilee, General Admission and Gordon Spice being black and being American were two different things.” To him, “[the flag] represents oppression.” Fair enough. But he is very unkind to those of us who see things differently (we figure prominently in his piece as “supposedly intelligent human beings”). To us, the Confederate flag represents, in addition to the injustices alluded to by Mr. Hewlett, honor, integrity, duty, and aristocracy in its best sense. We should remember the extraordinary character of those who fought under it: men from every walk of life exhibiting an awesome ferocity in the defense of their It is difficult to respect federal soldiers in the same twayg‘ ‘let us remember, by and large Northerners ' fought not for the -liberation of black folk (for whom they cared little), but forthe solidifipation of Northern power over the agrarian South. The Confederate flag is not the only Southern icon under attack these days; even our respected patriarch Robert E. Lee has been lambasted by revisionists. Both Lee and the flag have detractors and fans, running the gamut from those who see in them only the evils of slavery to those who over-romanticize LETTERS others who helped orientation Confederate history until it becomes a sort of civic religion. We should be wary of extremes. The characters of Lee, of the South, of the flag: none of these are spotless. But is surely unfair to pigeonhole any one of them as “inappropriate” or evil. A flag is a symbol; the only way it can be evil is if that which it represents is evil. Are we prepared to render such a harsh judgment on the South? Surely not, for to do so would be absurd and grossly inhumane. In effect, I would challenge Mr. Hewlett to move beyond his own sensibilities, to examine the flag in a more universal light. On one hand, it does stand for an age in which WASPS were dominant or at least 1 moreso than they are now; on the other hand,some 3 gofthose WASPS‘,‘W€§£'L_ nien l,ike§RobeitE§‘gLee._Men : who, while imperfect, history has judged to have been honorable and decent. If many Southerners, and many Americans too, choose to see the Confederate flag as (on balance) a symbol of that kind of nobility of charac- ter, that is their right. I encourage them to display it with pride. for providing a festive Alumni Associa- tion BBQ and choral program. Special kudos to Sue Krawchuk for her extraordinary work with virtually every aspect of orientation; Fran Kefalas and Nikki Magaziner fortheirwork with the Freshman Record; Ms. Joan Neel and the APO Service Fraternity for ex- cellent leadership of community service activity; Professor Kirk Follo and the Outing Club for organizing the hike to the saddle of House Mountain and the Chessie Trail walk; Professor Taylor Sanders for his remarks on the history and traditions of W&L; Bob Tompkins, Interviews and Photos By Joe Framptom Professor Lamar Cecil and the Execu- tive Committee for a meaningful orien- tation to the Honor System.

Campus leaders say growing activity reflects a new outlook By LAKEISHA TowNEs Phi Staff Writer Amid the flurry of academic and social activities at Washington and Lee, there is also an active religious com- munity. The Registrar’s office report on de- mographic characteristics for 1993-94 shows that 921 students expressed a religious preference. 872 students in- dicated Christianity as their preference while 34 selected Judaism and 15 chose “other”. Among the denominations of Chris- tianity, the three most popular choices were Catholicism with 275 students, Episcopalian with 192 and Presbyterianism with 127. Though the total number of stu- dents expressing a religious preference has dropped by 229, there is a growing amount of religious activity on cam- pus. Last year, there were five groups on campus providing religious activities and support. Hillel, the Jewish student organiza- tion, provides a medium for students and townspeople to participate in reli- gious functions. Since the nearest synagogue is in Staunton, Hillel is one of the only fo- rums in the county for observing even the major Jewish holidays. A representative of Hillel could not be reached for comment. The remaining four groups are all Christian. Though there are now enough people interested to sustain this many Christian organizations on campus, participation in religious groups has not always been so popular. University Registrar Scott Dittman said when he arrived at W&L in the fall of 1985, Christian support was not easy to find. “The first couple of years, the Christians were a real quiet voice on campus.” Then, around 1987, the Christian community experienced “a real movement...an explosion,” said Dittman. More students attended meetings of lnterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IV), Campus Crusade for Christ formed on campus, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) became even more ac- tive, Dittman said. Dittman is excited about what’s .3. - .' ‘I: T; ',"fiw"' o\_guuIu '" , ..}i ', ° going on in the Christian community. “At least looking at the last eight years, Christians have become more a part of the main campus,” Dittman said. The growing level of student in- volvement with religious activities has been noticed by many organizational leaders. “There is much more involvement in every aspect [of lnterVarsity],” said junior Katie Stephens, IV president. “I’ve seen more interest in Bible study and fellowship in general.” “The numbers as a whole at the BSU [Baptist Student Union] have gone up,” said juniorAlan Carter, BSU presi- dent. He adds that although it takes a while to get freshmen and new Chris- tians involved, he is excited about the increased attendance. Sophomore Julie Sauers, co-leader of FCA, is also encouraged by the growth of Christian involvement. “There is definitely more interest,” she said, “FCA seems to be growing.” “There’s a definite increase,” said Catholic Campus Minister Burr Datz. Datz, a 1975 W&L graduate, said stu- dents are more involved with the church and living out their faith. “I get a sense that people just want to get in touch with God,” Datz said. He said more students are attending retreats and activities at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, and those who regu- larly attend often bring friends.Datz Baptist Catholic Episcopal Lutheran Methodist Presbyterian O Other Christian Judaism I El El Other no preference Theatre department sets cast for The Flies From Stafi Reports The Theatre Department has set the cast for its first production of the year.

Other Washington and Lee students with featured roles are senior Ellen Dean as Clytemnestra and fresh- man Jason Shaffer as the tutor of Orestes. Acting in the roles of townspeople are sophomores Phaedra Cianciulli and Jeanne Dillon, juniors James Durbin and Brian McClung, freshman Ian Leavy and senior Avery Rembowski.

Cen- v red in the basement of the Robert E. ' e Episcopal Church, Yellow Brick 'oad is one of only two licensed child are centers in all of Rockbridge unty. As administered by Ms. Hunter ohfing, executive director of the cen- r, it is an environment that gives hildren “as much free time as pos- ible, for kids are born to learn.” The Yellow Brick Road program egan in 1976 in a woman’s basement part of her master’s degree program. he program grew into a non-profit ompany when people realized that the majority of parents desperately seek- ing child care in the area had no way to pay for it. An extensive scholarship system was set up to help local parents affordthe oftenexpensivecostsofchild care. As part of its outreach program in 1978, the Episcopal church contrib- uted the use of its basement and utili- ties for $25 a month. Mohring, known as “Hunter” to the children, says that even with her “pretty title” of executive director, she fills any role she needs to. Some days, she makes lunch for the children with cherry tomatoes from her own garden. As she grates carrots for a salad, a little student waltzes in wearing a prin- cess costume to say hello. Hunter takes all the interruptions in stride saying “we’ve got to deal with the kids as individuals.” The only other licensed child care center in Rockbridge County is in a Buena Vista woman’s home. However, Yellow Brick Road is receiving its most noticeable competition from the new Montessori school in Lexington. The center cares for 23 children daily, the majority of them for 40 hours a week. Hunter said that her job is a very gratifying one, although it gets very hectic at times. She said that she read in a magazine somewhere that “child care workers hear as much loud noise in a week as a construction worker with a jackhammer in six hours.” FEATURES Left: children who attend Yellow Brick road enjoy playtime. The children are also given more structured activities throughout the day. Below: There are several teachers in the Yellow Brick Daycare center. Each teacher is responsible for an age- group.

Strickler said that students would take 12-18 hours of Lead- ership courses that would make up a Leadership minor.

Furthermore, Strickler said that like VMI, there would be an Honor Code established at the Leadership Institute in addition to the rigorous physical training and ROTC. However, that is where the similarities end. Strickler said that there will not be a rat line system at the Leadership Insti- tute.

The truth is, you can't afford not to. Not when you realize that your retirement can last 20 to 30 years or more.You'll want to live at least as comfortably then as you do now. And that takes planning. By starting to save now, you can take advantage of tax-deferral and give your money time to compound and grow. Consider this: set aside just $100 each month beginning at age 30 and you can accumulate over $172,1o9* by the time you reach age 65. But wait ten years and you'll have to budget $219 each month to reach the same goal.

Once charged, however, the deans would not take part in the formal deliberations of According to Williams, there are two issues to be considered in Peck’s “Two issues are at point here.

However, ac- cording to Wilson, who will formally appeal will allege the English depart- ment did not follow standard proce- dure. “The AAUP stipulates that inad- equate consideration is the threshold allegation and should be first dealt with,” Wilson said. “Judging by her initial reaction, I fully expect there will be a second petition.” Peck’s decision to file the 67—page appeal was strengthened by the sup- port she received from both students and faculty members. . “There were some professors an students who asked if there was any- thing they could do and I began think- ing of asking the department for recon- sideration. Some students even wrote letters to the department asking for reconsidera- tion,” she said. Junior Melissa Miller was one stu- dent who sent a letter to the department requesting a review of Peck’s case. “Professor Peck is one of the best professors here,” Miller said. “When I talked to Professor Craun, l was given no real answer as to why she was let go. I’m not sure she received one.” Miller believes the'_English depart- ment did not’ haxléijust ‘cause‘t‘o’termi‘- A " nate Peck’s contract and did not take student opinion adequately into con- sideration. “Everyone I talked to had very posi- «Beck challenges department ruling responses,” Miller said. ‘‘I expect they will disregard student opinion [about the appeal]. Look at the way they did it with Professor Lynch.” Although the department did re- ceive some letters from students after the decision had been made, Craun said the department opted not to recon- sider. “The tenured members of the fac- ulty decided not to reconsider their decision based on [the letters],” he said. “The group decided there had been a fair evaluation already.” Because the appeal is the first of its kind, no one involved with the case is sure how to proceed next or how long it w ill be before a decision is reached. “I have no experience with this type of procedure,” Williams said.“lt [the appeal] could drag out for the semester but the hope is, on both sides, that it won’t.” Although Peck feels “students should let theirvoices count,” she wants to “see the process move along as ob- jectively as possible without any out- side interference.” The English department, Craun said, is not worried about the appeal. , ‘ ‘‘I "think “I can ‘safely say for my colleagues that we have nothing to fear from a review,” Craun said. “The fac- ulty handbook is our guide and it is quite explicit about those things that &L tries to comply with ADA By RICHARD WEAVER Phi Staff Writer The Washington and Lee campus needs some work, at least when it comes to serving the handicapped. The university is currently working to comply with the regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This law became effective in July 1992, and prohibits discrimination based on an individual’s impairment. The ADA applies to all private em- ployers, state and local governments, government agencies, and labor unions. Violations of ADA cannot be crimi- nally prosecuted, but if the institution does not respond adequately to a complainant’s request, that institution is liable for punitive damages. How- ever, the university could be prosecuted under state law, as well as be liable for damages. The state of Virginia’s code, the Human Rights Act, coincides with the new federal anti-discrimination laws. According to the ADA Handbook (which is published by the Department of Justice and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission), violations of the Human Rights Act now fall under the same repercussions as those applicable to race, sex, national origin, and religious discrimination underTitle VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Director of Capital Planning Frank Parsons has made arrangements for handicapped students, faculty, staff and visitors over the years. “For now, the most difficult prob- lem is dealing with campus visitors who have special needs that we can not anticipate. However, when we know we will have these visitors, we see that they are taken care of (when on the campus),” Parsons said. “We know what the (new ADA) regulations are, and as problems are brought to our attention, we do the best that we can,” he added. The protection laws concerning physical addition (the installation of ramps, elevators, etc.) can exempt some buildings if it can be proven that the alterations would be an “undue hard- ship” on the operation of the establish- ment that ownsthebuildingorinbuild- ings of a historical nature, such as the academic buildings on the Colonnade. Gaines Hall and Graham-Lees dor- mitory are up to ADA standards, but Woods Creek apartments are not. Ac- cording to Parsons, not all university housing must comply with the regula- tions, as long as a handicapped-acces- sible alternative is provided for those students requiring it. The newly-built Sigma Chi and Sigma Phi Epsilon houses are equipped with wheelchair lifts, as part of their compliance with ADA. However, the other renovated fra- ternity houses only had to comply with the Fair Housing Act at the time they were constructed. “Had we had to comply with the ADA at the time of the renovations, the university could not have afforded fra- ternity renaissance,” Parsons said. Because the university now owns all of the fraternity properties, it now shares liability for an lawsuits that may ’ result from discrimination or lack of accommodation for the handicapped on the part of the fraternities. The new science building will be built according to ADA specifications. The recently-opened Watson Pavilion also complies with ADA. EC, Pub Board clash I->EC, from Egg 1 “The fact remains,” said Richardson, “this money was taken from the Pub Board without approval.” . E.C. President Bob Tompkins said he wished to discuss the situation with Assistant Controller Don Holt and past E.C. President Bo Russell before any further action is taken. Russell was E.C. President at the time of the budgeting error andauthorized the transfers of funds. Russell distributed the money to two campus clubs: The~Ring-tum Phi got $5,000 and Club Volleyball got $700. The E.C. did not have an explanation for why Russell illegally took the funds from the Pub Board reserve. During its annual budget hearings, the E.C. tentatively set aside $2,700 bisiflis and all promotions.

SophomoreJosephine Schaeffer has achieved far more than the human mind can conceive orthe human body should be able to endure. For the first time in Washington and Lee history, a cross country athlete has gone undefeated, setting the course record on each of three courses she has raced on, re- setting the school record, and sat out practice because of a spider bite. Yes, Schaeffer was bitten by a spi- der bite this week, but never fear, she said as she ran back and forth on the Washington and Lee track, “It feels good now. Well, not good, but...” and she laughed. Running 45-50 miles a week to stay on her toes, the least of Schaeffer’s worries is a little insignificant pain that doesn’t affect her performance (she intends to race this weekend at the Frostburg Invitational, Oct. 2). Top on herlistofThingtoWorry About: where to go from here? A two—time All-American, Schaeffer’s margin of victory (a new statistic I personally created for this unprecented necessity) is now 1:12.6 for the season. That means that she has beaten the entire field at each of her cross country meets so far this season (one which contained over 200 run- ners) by an average of one minute, twelve and two—thirds seconds. Last weekend Schaeffer ran in the File photo Schaeffer runs to second place at last year’s track and field championships in Berea, Ohio. SPRING BREAK ‘94 SELL TRIPS, EARN CASH, & GO FREE!!

This was also a course record; Schaeffer has set three course records in as many meets this year. Her time helped Washington and Lee to a second-place finish in the meet, after a Divison II team, Millersville. Teammate and sophomore Amy Mears finished a strong eighth with a time of 19:47. Schaeffer was pleased with the course. “It had good variety,” she said. “A little bit of everything; hills and good down-hills, some terrain, and even good weather.” Hesitant to call any performance ’ her best, she was happy with the race. “I still want to work hard and im- prove even more by the end of the season, but I’m pleased,” she said. What sets Schaeffer apart? No one seems to have an answer for that all important question. Some have the gall to ask, What’s so special about that? Running around and around really fast? Well, anyone cannot do it. (I tried.) It is a unique talent; whether it is her technique, her genetic make-up, her long history of intensive training (Schaeffer was running road races in grade school) or her work ethic, not even her coaches can tell us. They just know that they are happy to have her . Last “year, Schaeffer blew the competition’s minds not only locally fit" but nationally, as she came on the Na- tional Track and Field Championships with a provisional qualifying time (sig- nificantly below the time required to automatically qualify an athlete to ad- vance to the National competition for Division III) and astounded her com- petition by finishing second for an All- American honor and a new school and personal record. - When every personal record on sets is a school record, every time one sets is a course record, running could get blase. But Josephine Schaeffer just keeps running, laughing about an in- fected spider bite and hoping to im- prove. There’s nowhere to go but up, Photo by Sarah Gilbert, The Ring-tum Pf Schaeffer works on one of her 45-50 miles she runs every week with the Washington and Lee woman's cross country team to prepare her for another All-American hopeful season.
