V The state branch of the National Association for ; the Advancement of Colored People considers the top‘ too hot to discuss until a decision has been ‘ made at the state convention. The decision, at press . time, was expected at any minute. _ “It’s a timing thing,” said first-classman Zack Scott. “The NAACP just happened to be meeting this week, so they picked up the issue.” Meanwhile, rumors run around the East Coast. “ y uncle from North Carolina called and asked about the cadet killed in racial beatings,” said Estes. I “And then my mom’s hairdresser in Raleigh asked Clark xlilains do her about a black cadet killed in a racial incident.” Estes also reported a magazine article which castigated VMI for having the “nerve” to not only refuse to admit women, but to decide to stop admitting black cadets. Sources say the current theory on campus isthat a cadet who really disliked the victim of the threats simply took his hatred too far. “He’s the kind of guy that you either really like or really dislike,” said one first-class source. ‘‘It wasn’t as much the fact that he was black as the fact that somebody just disliked him personally, and took the race factor on as well.” While rumors run across state lines, national and state organizations decide their opinions, the FBI investigates, and media on every level inves- tigate, the cadets have forgotten the incident. “I’m not seeing any FBI. I’m not seeing any police. I’m not seeing anybody,” said Estes. Scott agreed. “It’s old news,” he said. LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA OCTOBER 15, 1993 Reviewof Honor System in Works By THOMAS Hesros Phi News Editor seniors Nathan Dunn, Cameron Howell and John Richert; Second-year law student Ashley Rowe; and A committee of nine students has begun the process of reviewing the White Book and may change the Honor System at Washing- ton and Lee. At its regular Monday meeting, the EC heard the first report from the White Book Review Committee, a group composed of EC-appointed students that will review the Honor System. “We haven’t discussed very much sub- stantially,” said committee Chair Ames Hutton. The group is composed of nine students: Hutton, freshman Adam Branson; sopho- Stakes. than the EC’s. Hutton.

IFC to review Rush Tear Night presents conflicts for next year By NANCY PAVLOVIC Phi Managing Editor If the fraternities liked this year’s Rush, they’d better hold onto their pants next year when Tear Night will fall on Home- coming weekend. But that may be achange un- der consideration in the last two— and—a—half weeks of October as the Interfratemity Council and fraternities began examining the new Rush system. “Right now, we want to get feedback on all the changes we’ve made,” IFC Vice President Ryan Donaldson said. “We’re trying to fine tune Rush, not really change it.” According to IFC President Curt Smith, fraternity members were pleased with the way Rush worked. ‘ “There weren’t a lot of com- ments [at the meeting] because there seemed to be a general con- sensus that the system worked pretty well.” Sigma Nu Rush Chairman Brain McClung said the new sys- tem addressed many of last year’s concerns about Rush. ‘‘I think we accomplished a lot of what we set out to do,” McClung said. Under the new rush system, closed contact rules went into effect when the freshmen arrived and lasted until the Wednesday night before classes.

Casual and open contact began that Wednes- day evening, with formal Rush beginning thesecond Monday of classes. Rush Counselors and open houses for all 16 fraterni- ties were also added this year. Under the old Rush rules, freshmen and upperclassmen were under closed contact rules untilalmostoneweekafterfresh- men arrived on campus. At the start of Rush, freshmen cut six houses from their list and chose only nine houses to visit during open houses. Rush Counselors were seen as the most effective addition to this year’s Rush. “General consensus was that Rush Counselors were effective and very helpful,” Smith said. “We just need to train them sooner and better.” Smith said the majority of the fine-tuning would revolve around the open contact period and the effectiveness of the open houses for all 16 fraternities. “We need to look at the open contact period and whether the time frame needs to be adjusted or the entire period changed,” Smith said. “Although people were generally satisfied with the 16 open houses, some felt [they] would be more effective if we had more open contact after- should not be the only force in determining what Honor System issues should be looked “I think the purpose of this is to have input from the EC, but not to have the EC pulling the strings,” said Tompkins at Monday’s EC meeting. Hutton said the committee planned to get input on honor issues by polling the students, faculty and administration. But Hutton said the purpose of the committee is not only to review the Honor System, but to “edu- cate the students first, so that they know what they’re talking about.” The committee may also sponsor debates in Lee Chapel or in the I-vsee EC, page 4 wards.” Lambda Chi Alpha President Robert Ferris thought the 16 open houses were beneficial to most houses. I, “The 16 houses helped out a lot of the houses,” Ferris said. “lt’s fairer to the freshmen be- cause last year they had that first weekend to narrow 15 down to nine houses so if you heard one bad thing, you didn’t go check that house out.” McClung agreed adding the open houses worked to his fratemity’s advantage. “The 16 open houses, al- though a strain on fraternity mem- bers and freshmen, are benefi- cial. There are some guys we met only during the open houses that are now in our pledge class,” McClung said. But Phi Gamma Delta Presi- dent Moke Wolfe said the 16 houses were “useless.” “By the time open houses came, the freshmen had already decided where they wanted to go,” Wolfe said. Sigma Phi Epsilon President James Hess thought the open houses were a good ideabut came too late. “It’s good to have the fresh- men go to all 16 houses, but people have already made their decision at the parties before they made it to open houses,” Hess said. McClun g said the open houses were a worthwhile part of Rush and should not be discontinued. “Our house [Sigma Nu] and Chi Psi are really in favor of it,” McClung said. “Houses that usu- ally had a good Rush thought it was a waste.” Some have suggested switch- ing the period of open contact with the open houses but such a move would mean the periods of open contact would then have to be dry. Since formal Rush is free of alcohol, any period between open houses and Tear Night would also have to be subjected to all the rules and regulations applying to formal Rush. Smith said switching open houses with the open contact pe- riod just is not possible. ‘‘If you have open houses, Rush has begun. You can’t just start and stop,” Smith said. “ln the in—between period, you’re in violation.” “Open houses should be moved up to the first week,” Wolfe said. ‘‘It’d be better for the freshmen to come tocampus, then have the open houses and then have two weeks of open contact. Then have a week of formal Rush activities.” Ferris suggested another band party after the open houses could help some freshmen decide where to pledge. “Another band party could bsee IFC, page 4 ficer R.D Clark, the biggest problem created by student’s pets is when the animals run loose. The Lexington leash law states that a dog must be “under owner’s immediate control.” When a student’s dog is picked up, it is taken back to the student, if the dog is registered with the city. If the dog is not registered, it is taken to the shelter, where the boarding fees are $8 a day. If a ticket is issued, the pet owner must pay a fine set by a judge. A dog that bites someone and is not vacci- nated against rabies must""be boarded in the SPCA shelter for ten days, which costs $80. By law, every dog staying in the Commonwealth of Virginia for longer than 30 days must be vacci- nated for rabies. Clark’s chief concern is animals being hit by cars. He said any student who hits an animal Not paying tax may damage credit property tax which also applies to boats, motor- cycles, trucks, and business property and equip- ment. The tax is known as a car tax because it applies predominantly to automobiles. The tax applies to anyone who has an out-of—state car in Virginia for more than six months. Ellestad said there is no double taxation—if the student pays a car tax in another state, he doesn’t have to pay a tax in Virginia. If the vehicle is registered in another locality but is garaged in Lexington for more than six months out of the year, the student pays the tax in Lexington.

At Monday’s EC meeting, Hutton asked for the EC’s opinion on procedural matters for the White Book review. According to Hutton, there are “some very vague guide- lines in the White Book [for an Honor Sys- tem review].” Tompkins said he would like to see the committee report to the EC at the start of winter term, before submitting the results of their review on March 1. Another concern was the violation of confidentiality if the WBRC were to discuss specific honor trials in their meetings. Tompkins said he would like to protect the confidentiality in the case of current stu- dents, but said he didn’t see a need to make a rule regarding what the WBRC could and could not discuss. Second-year Law Representative James Rambeau agreed. ‘‘I think you can adjust the fact patterns,” he said. “Make them hypothetical... Student A and Student B.” Hutton said the WBRC meetings would be “for the most part, closed.” Some debate ensued when Tompkins sug- gested that an EC member be present at WBRC meetings to offer input. ‘‘I think they should put these things to- gether without our influence,” said EC Secre- tary Ashby Hackney. Hutton said he plans to put together a calendar for the WBRC to follow while con- ducting their review of the Honor System. I addition, he said the committee has ac quainted itself with the White Book in lht. two meetings it has held. ‘ “We’ve got three people who have prac-i tical experience,” he said. 3 Other business covered at Monday’s EC , meeting included an appeal from Kevin Roddey, business manager of The Ring-tum‘ Phi, who asked that the EC not cut th ‘~ budgets of the publications under the _fill'lS'l, diction of the Publications Board. The E. tentatively decided to cut each Pub Boar publication by 17 percent at its meeting tw weeks ago, in order to correct an old budget ‘ ing error. The funding cut became officia Monday when the EC passed the budget b 1‘ approving it for the second time. I " IFC to examine Rush h>lFC, from page one help them see what you’re all about.” McClun g suggested that some formal function precede the open contact period so that freshmen could meet all fraternities in a casual setting before the open houses. “lFC might considersponsor- ingacookoutorsomethingwhich would allow the freshmen to meet five or six guys from every house before open house,” McClung said. “So if a freshmen decided to go to a fraternity during the second week, they would know a few brothers at the house and not feel awkward or out of place.” Others have suggested that the open contact period be shortened. Car tax can affect credit rating I->CAFl TAX, from page one garaged for the majority of the year. In order to resolve this dif- ficulty, Ellestad said that if the student has his car in Lexington for the more than six months of the year, it is assumed that his car is garaged there. Ellestad said the past four years the car tax has been $4.25 per $100 of assessed value. Five years ago, it was $5.50. Failure to pay the car tax, ac- cording to Ellestad, will result in the treasurer filing debt warrants against the owner, which would appear on the owner’s credit record. Ellestad said that the warrantappearingontheowner’s credit record acts as an incentive to pay. Ellestad said that if the stu- dent fails to pay the tax, the courts will intervene to force payment, but he adds that it is more diffi- cult to force out-of-state carown- ers to pay. According to Le;v.ing- ton Cit y Treasurer Pat DeLaney, it is difficult for the court to force an out—of-state resident to come to court because that is beyond the jurisdiction of Virginia. DeLaney said that a court judgement will go against the resident’s credit record, but the owner will never have to serve jail time. Usually, the car tax . will be paid oncethe owner re- ceives a copy of his credit record and calls the treasurer’s office. She said that sometimes the owner finds that there was a mis- take and doesn’t have to pay. Delaney said that the trouble comes when people are not forth- coming in their information. As for W&L students failing to pay their car tax, Delaney says that the students have either paid or discovered that they didn’t have to pay. “The open contact times re- ally weren’t utilized the way we thought they’d be,” McClung said. “lt might work better if lasted five days or a week.” One potential reason for short- ening open contact next year may be to prevent Homecoming week- end and Tear Night from occur- ring the same weekend. “Tear Night next year, under the current system, will be Home- coming Weekend,” McClung said. Homecoming weekend can- not be changed due to the foot- ball schedule. Kathekon and the IFC will need to reach some agreement about this before Rush plans for next year can be final- ized. Donaldson hopes to have the review of Rush completed quickly this year. “Last year, we took all year to work it out,”'Donaldson said. “We hope to get it done by the beginning of November.” ThelFCwillalsobeholdinga meeting with the freshmen on Monday evening at 7 to discuss deferred pledgeship. “lt’s not so much about their rights as it is about how they are to become part of the house,” Smith said. “They’re not pledges during the fall, they’re social members or whatever you want to call them but they’re not pledges.” Smith said there is a list of regulations as to what the fresh- men can and cannot do during the remainder of this semester. Deferred pledgeship means tha the freshmen are not offidall «. pledges until the beginning 0 winter temi. “Deferred pledgeship mean the freshmen have 10 weeks 0.‘ get really comfortable with th house and the brothers they’v decided to join,” Wolfe sgfi.

Yes, bartending. “It was a blast,” said Aussiker of her bartending school experience last summer. Not many people go to bartending school as a summer activity, but W&L’s Home- coming Queen is not an ordinary person. Aussiker is the vice president of the Chi Omega sorority, a member of the leadership honor society Omicron Delta Epsilon, a mem- ber of the Student Affairs Committee, a G. Holbrook Barber Scholar, and the head dorm counselor at W&L, as well as one of the leads in the Theatre Department production of The Flies. As the head dorm counselor, Aussiker works closely with Dean Manning and the other dorm counselors. “I’m here if they need anything,” she said. “I really enjoy them [the activities] all. You try different things throughout yourwhole W&L experience,” said Aussiker. Part of her experi- ence included being nominated twice for home- coming court. “I was thrilled just to be nominated,” she said of her nominations by Sigma Chi both this year and last year. “I was very surprised and happy to be chosen as Homecoming Queen,” Aussiker said.

The number of young adults with hepatitis B is now 77 percent higher than it was 10 years ago. Hepatitis B is 100 times more contagious than HIV. One in 20 Americans has been infected with the virus, and each day 14 Americans die from hepatitis B-related illnesses. Once inside the body, the virus strikes the liver, and may lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer. The risk among carriers of developing liver cancer is 200 times higher than that of non- carriers. There is no cure for hepatitis B, but there is a vaccine. People transmit the disease through infected blood or bodily fluids including semen, vaginal secretions, and saliva. Hepatitis B can be transmitted through vaginal, oral, or anal inter- course. The risk of contraction is increased for those who are sexually active, have unprotected sex, have more than one sex partner, have another STD, share needles for injecting drugs, or work in health care. Also at risk are natives from areas where hepatitis B is endemic, including Alaska, the Pacific Islands, Africa, Asia, and the Amazon region of South America. Most of those infected do not suspect they have hepatitis B, because its symptoms are so similar to those of the flu. “It can fool people at first,” said Dr. David Copeland of the W & L inflrmary. Symptoms include nausea, fatigue, vomiting, loss of appetite, jaundice, and ab- dominal pain. Dr. Copeland recalled no recent cases of hepatitis B on the W & L campus. If there were such a case, “we would offer the patient an infirmary stay. But there’s probably not much we can do,” he said. “There is no treatment, just rest and good nutrition.” The American College Health Association recommends that all college students be vacci- nated against the hepatitis B virus. Some schools require the vaccination and most medical stu- dents are required to be vaccinated. “Any student who is going to be involved in health care should get the vaccine,” said Dr. Copeland. The vaccine stimulates the body to produce antibodies, which protect those exposed to the disease. It is given in a series of three shots with a total cost of around $130. asked questions by a panel of five judges. “It was a great honor to be picked,” she said. While being W&L’s Homecoming Queen doesn’t involve any specific duties, Aussiker feels that being the queen means “being a representative of the school and all that it en- tails—spirit, friendship, and tradition. I hope I can do it.” Aussiker has more than queenly duties to fulfill, though, Like all W&L seniors, next year she will have to face those two familiar four- letter words: real life. “It’s scary being a senior. Part of you is really excited and part of you says ‘Don’t take me away’,” said Aussiker. Although she came to W&L planning to be 21 Physics major, Aussiker is now double major- ing in Journalism and Theatre. Next year she plans to get her Master of Fine Arts in acting and plans to do bartending on the side for money. Aussiker got into theatre when she audi- tioned for “The Skin of Our Teeth” her fresh- man year. “I got the bug,” she said. With her many activities, Aussiker has to be very organized. “I have this huge black book,” she said. “I live off coffee. Coffee is my favorite food.” If coffee is her favorite food, W&L is defl- nitely her favorite place to be. “I can’t imagine being any place else and being as happy as I am here,” said Aussiker.

The 38er Alligators donated $25,000 to the University AND,sponsored a sky-diver for half-time. The football team played really well, at least for the first half. Seems like it would have been a close to perfect Home- coming. But it wasn’t. Close, but no cigar. And we can’t think of a good reason why it couldn’t have been perfect. Few students may have realized there were a couple of floats missing from the Homecoming parade. They were not missing because of a last minute construction disaster or a flat tire. They were missing because some students decided to totally disregard one important rule for partici- pating in the parade: no alcohol. Apparently, students on two floats decided they could ignore that little rule. No one can claim ignorance of the rule as a defense either. Many students will tell you the Lexing- ton police made it absolutely clear to them alcoholwas not an option on a parade float. The parade float registration materials also made this very clear. So why did a few students decide to ignore what they were told? Good question. But what is even more confusing 1S why they felt it so necessary to have alcohol on a parade float at 1 1 :00 in the morning? Don’t get us wrong. We are not saying W&L students are not allowed to have fun. We are not saying alcohol IS an evil g thing either. But there is a time and a place for alcohol, and the Lexington Police made it very clear the parade was not ' the right time or place. The biggest shame in all of this is that students and the Alumni Office have worked very hard the last two Home- comings to revive an old W&L tradition. The students who completely disregarded the alcohol rule just didn’t care. ' They didn’t care about the work Kathekon and the Alumni Office put into organizing the parade. And they didn’t care about the work theyhad put into creating their own floats.

Sarah Wyatt The Ring-tum Phi is published Fridays during the undergraduate school year at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia. Funding for The Ring-tum Phi comes primarily from advertising and subscription revenues.

The answer, inci- cards read something like this: “Book ABC by John Doe was removed from the school library in Smalltown, Kan- sas, after parents complained of its profanity and sexual content.” Of course, some weren’t actually “removed”; they may have been “ob- jected to” or “reviewed by the school board.” This is when I clued in to the fact that their idea of banned might not Angelou writes about themes relevant his left arm, and his right hand was moving so fast and his heart was beat- ing so hard that I was afraid that he would die.” While child abuse is an issue that needs to be addressed, I’m not sure that I want my thirteen-year-old addressing it in that context.

Even those religious children. groups who have tried to restrict the liberty of con- science of others have en- joyed the benefits of Jefferson’s law. Thomas Jefferson real- ized his statute of Religious ANDREW SCHNEIDER, ’94 Freedom and the Constitu- tional guarantee to religious liberty would not be self- enforcing. Each successive generation of Virginians would have to maintain the “etemal vigilance” that, as Thomas Jefferson said, is “the price of liberty.” Especially today, Virginians cannot afford to take their inherited freedoms for granted. Pat Robertson’s Virginia-based Christian Coalition would love to impose its religious morals on others if only it could elect its members to political office. Already the Christian Coalition has managed to infiltrate the ranks of the Republican party. In this year’s Virginia state elections, dozens of candidates, affiliated to varying degrees with the Christian Coalition, are running as Republicans. The most prominent of those candidates is the Republican contender for Lieuten- ant Governor, Michael Farris. Michael Farris, a 41 year old lawyer and member of the Christian Coalition, was the treasurer for Pat Robertson’s 1988 presidential campaign. He also worked for the Moral Majority in Washington state before he settled down in Virginia 10 years ago. Currently, Farris is the president of the Home School Legal Defense Association, an organization he founded to support families who educate their own taxpayers to subsidize re- ligious schools and thereby religions to which they do not sub- scribe. State support of reli- gious education is an is- sue that has been around for a long time. In 1784, Patrick Henry proposed a bill in the Virginia leg- islature to provide state funding for religious education. The bill if en- acted, would have re- quired taxpayers to des- ignate a church to re- ceive a proportionate al- location of state funds. The Farris campaign captured national attention when the candidate denounced public schools as a “godless monstrosity,” “val- ues indoctrination centers” and “a multi-billion dollar in- culcation machine.” Farris, who with his wife Vicki, has educated their eight children at home for 12 years, would support a state tax credit of up to $2000 per child for the cost of public, private, paro- chial or home schooling. This tax credit proposal, which he calls “educational choice” would deal a heavy blow to our liberty of conscience by forcing James Madison, also a Virginia state legislator at the time, responded to Henry’s bill by writing his famous A Memorial and Remonstrance A Religious Assessments . In this document, Ma declared that religion “must be left to the convi and conscience of every man.” He added th legacy of government support of religion mo to “superstition, bigotry and persecution. Madison’s arguments not only helped to d Henry’s bill but they also laid the intellectual dations for the Constitutional ban against an e lishment of religion. The Virginia General A bly enacted Jefferson’s bill for Religious Fre in place of the defeated Henry bill. Michael Farris andthe Christian coaiiimns take a second look at Virginia’s rich history provides more than a few lessons on religiou' erty.

(JOE STUDENT: “Try and tow my car away with that horse!” W&L SECURITY: “High ho, Silver, about it: tour, we heard quite a few from Lex- ington motorists.

WORTH College counseling services consistently will tell you depression is the “common cold” of mental health problems on campus. lt’s not a question of whether or not you’ll become depressed but when, how intensely and for how long. Fortunately, most students who become depressed experience it only as a temporary case of the blahs, a bad day or perhaps even a bad week. Usually this kind, .. of depression is a reaction to some sense of loss, which has emerged in the normal course of daily events. More than a simple disappointment, this brief reactive depression could be triggered by a low exam grade, a stormy romance, troubles at home or peer problems on campus. Homesickness, a very common experience among freshmen, is a form ‘of depression caused by the “loss” of one’s daily routine and contact with home. For most students, homesickness disap- pears within a few days or weeks as they develop a new set of friends and a new routine at school. Recognizing depression, either in yourself or oth- ers, can be difficult. Feeling sad is not the same thing as being depressed. Symptoms of Depression Depression is often accompanied by a numbing of feeling. The depressed person is apt to deny being depressed but will instead say that he or she has been tired, less energetic, not as well organized as usual and perhaps even lethargic. Depressed individuals find the things in life they used to enjoy no longer hold the same appeal.'I'hey typically have changes in their eating and sleeping patterns. Some, especially those who are mildly to moderately depressed, may eat and sleep considerably more than what is normal or usual for them. But as depression deepens, sleep usually become fitful and disturbed, often with a pattern of waking up nterviews and Photos y.Joe Framptom TALKBACK early in the morning and not being able to go back to sleep again. Appetite drops off and weight loss can occur. Sexual interest may diminish, too. Depressed people frequently find their sense of confidence is lower, and they blame themselves for things. They won’t believe or accept the compli- ments others give them. Although depressed people desperately need the emotional reassurance and support of their friends, they often become irritable and somewhat withdrawn, which discourages oth- ers from approaching them. This can be something of a vicious cycle. The depressed person has trouble seeing their decreas- ing contact with, others .is not a rejection but is the reaction they themselves have provoked. Often accompanying depression are physical symptoms that are not associated with an actual disease. Headaches, stomachaches, backaches, skin reactions, constipation or diarrhea and chronic fa- tigue are the kinds of symptoms campus physicians report hearing from students. Anxiety and tension are also typical among those who are depressed. Acute or intense bouts of anxiety, known as panic attacks, are especially common among those with moderate to severe depressions. Suicidal Thinking The symptom of depression that is most fright- ening to others is the emergence of suicidal think- ing. Almost no one seriously contemplates suicide who is not significantly depressed. Although most people who threaten to commit suicide usually don’t actually do it, most who have killed them- selves did threaten to do so. Consequently, no suicidal threat should be taken lightly. One other statistic is worth keeping in mind. Males threaten suicide less than females but actu- ally succeed in killing themselves more frequently. One of the real fears and misperceptions is if you have a friend who you know is depressed, you Political consultant Lance Tarrance, ’63, will discuss current trends in U.S. public opinion on Tuesday, Oct. 19 at 8:00 p.m. in Room 327 of the C-school.

Actu- ally, just the opposite is true. By giving a depressed friend the opportunity to discuss any suicidal feelings he or she might have, you can reduce the likeli- hood that your friend will actually take his or her own life. If you have a friend who is de- pressed and who makes some kind of suicidal threat or even broad hint he might prefer death over life, don’t ig- nore the possibility. Sit down with your friend and let him talk about it. Try to be as accepting and calm as you possi- bly can. In such a situation, if you get upset or start trying to give a little lecture about how wrong it would be for him to actually do something to himself, you will cut off the communication pro- cess. Instead, quietly and patiently in- vite him to tell you how he feels. Don’t worry about having answers for his problems. He has to work out his own answers. You can be helpful sim- ply by listening and by accepting his feelings. Don’t hesitate to ask directly if he has ever thought about hurting him- self, especially if he has brought the subject up first. In particular, find out how detailed his plans may be. Some- one who has only vague or general thoughts about self-destruction is in less danger than one who has selected a time, place, and means for ending his life. You can even ask a person to rate the chances of taking his own life — 10 percent likelihood, 50 percent or higher. While even a low estimate must be taken seriously, someone who says the chances are 50 percent or higher would be considered overtly suicidal. It probably seems very strange to think of yourself talking to a friend about these kinds of things. Probably, it is something that won’t ever happen. But it could. Thinking about it in ad- vance will make it easier for you to act in a purposeful, helpful way. How To Help A Sui- cidal Friend So, what is your worst fears are confirmed? What if your friend shares with you that he indeed is depressed and has a strong desire to end it all? What should you do? First of all, take a deep breath, relax and remember one important thing. Your friend would not have confided in you in there weren’t a big part ofhim that wanted to live. Otherwise, your friend would have simply gone out and done away with himself. That you have even been told is a sign that a healthy part of that depressed person is mobi- lized and wants to get help. This is one time when you must not worry about breaking confidences or appearing to be a tattletale. Sooner or later, you are going to have to see that his information is passed on to some- one who can help your friend. If your friend is willing to go to a minister, physician or mental health professional, or to a college adminis- trator or faculty member, then all you need to do is make sure he gets there. After that, you are off the hook. But if he refuses to do that, you need to be prepared to tell someone on your own. That may seem to be unfair in one sense, especially if your friend told you his problems in strictest confidence. But death is irreversible, and so are many forms of injury that people can inadvertently inflict upon themselves in a failed suicide attempt. He may not realize it at the time, but your going to someone else could save your friend ’s life or health. You simply have to trust that one day he will be healthy and mature enough to recog- nize what you were faced with. Most likely, he will be very grateful to you. If you sense a fellow student really could attempt suicide in the immediate future, do not leave him alone. Call a friend or some responsible person on campus. Stay with your depressed friend until he has been taken for help. Explain to him what you are doing. Tell him honestly if you are fright- ened, and don’t be ashamed of that. He has told you something that is very frightening. But don’t blame or criti- cize him for his self-destructive feel- ings. He already is loaded with guilt. Simply tell him you value him and will not allow him to do anything hannful, even if that’s what he truly feels he Room available with three sophomores - $140 mo.

If the depressed friend does not appear immediately suicidal but you suspect that he could become so in the future, see if he will make a “non-suicide agreement” with you. Even if this seems silly, it has been shown to be a very powerful helping technique. Ask the person to promise you he won’t do anything self-destructive for a specified period of time. It could be a day or a week, or even longer. Get him to commit to this, even in writing. This promise, though made to you, is actu- ally a covenant with himself. It is not an absolute guarantee, of course, but is a very important commitment that many depressed and suicidal people will honor. During the time you have bought with the non-suicidal pact, you can do everything in your power to get the student to a counselor or some other person who can help. Or, if he refuses, you can talk to a counselor or dean about the problem. Treatment of Depression Depression can be treated and over- come. The simple reactive depressions we all occasionally experience usually go away with the passing of time. A good long chat with a friend or a call home to a parent may speed the process along. When the depression seems to be lasting longer than two to three weeks, it might be helpful to talk with someone in your campus counseling service. The people there are trained to The Ring-tum Phl, October 15, 1993 deal with what you are experiencing and will probably be able to help. Some depressions are biological in nature, meaning there is a physical reason for them. No amount of talking will make this kind of depression go away because it isn’t a matter of ac- cepting or dealing with factors in the outside world. Rather, it is a matter of an imbalance in body chemistry. Fortunately, there are a variety of antidepressant medications which can be prescribed that are often quite help- ful. New medication that has hit the market shows special promise of alle- viating depression without producing disruptive side effects. Antidepressant medication is not like an aspirin that works in 15 or 20 minutes. It may take as long as four to six weeks to build up in the blood stream and produce maximum results. The newest antidepressant works faster than older ones, but the effects are still not going to belinstantaneous. If there are panic attacks, these, too, can be reduced by medication. Tran- quilizers, such as Xanax, are frequently prescribed, and they do work quickly. Panic attacks are disruptive and fright- ening. If you’ve never had one before, you may think you are having a heart attack or even going crazy. The feelings are extreme dread and fear. Your heart may beat wildly, your hands get cold, and you may have tightness in your chest. The feelings build up to a sort of climax, then taper off, leaving you feelingtenseand spent. Panic attacks are extremely unpleas- 6 ant.'If you have having any symptom: like these, depression is a definite pos sibility. ' Drugs and alcohol are particularl; tough on depressed people.

The hook i: that alcohol and many drugs, espe- cially marijuana, are themselve9 de- pressants. lt’s like trying to put out 2 fire by pouring gasoline on it. Many suicides that do occur are done under the influence of a sub- stance. So if you are depressed, b especially cautious about any form 0 chemical use. It may seem like it lnlps, but it could be pushing you deeper intc the problem. Maybe the bottom line on all of this is simply to recognize that mild depres- sion is probably going to come into the lives of us all from time to time. We learn special ways to cope wifii it. Whether we simply wait it out, talk t a friend, go on a shopping spree 0| distract ourselves by becoming more deeply immersed in our regular activi- ties, any non-destructive coping tech- nique is okay. However, if we find that after sev- eral weeks the depression hasn’t l ed, it might be time to see a mental health professional. He or she really can help. There is no need to simply let natur take its course when treatment exists that can greatly speed up the recovery process. . © Dr. James W. Worth, 1993 . Iver Get A Pal Smashed!

Eyes on the ball... sPORTs Shut from eomn, fotall struggles Os By STEPHEN WILLIARD Phi Assistant Sports Editor Less than spectacular, dismal, even failing—All are words that have been used to describe this year’s Washing- ton and Lee football team. With an 0-4 start to the 1993 cam- paign, the Generals have made most people forget about the promise that abounded at the inception of the sea- son. A 5-4 season last year had many holding out hopes of a second straight solid, winning year. The most recent loss in the General ’s string was, by far, the most painful. Leading 14-7 entering the 4th quarter, W&L looked to be on their way to the first victory of the year against the Davidson Wildcats. A two touchdown rally by the Wildcats spoiled the Gen- erals hopes however, and left W&L on the short end of a 21-14 Score. Senior Tom Mason turned in an outstanding perfonnance in the loss, however. Mason rushed for over 100 v _ _ ' . . yards for the second straight week, '5 _, _ ' ‘ _ turning in a 135 yard effort.
