. The verdict is in and both sides are
-}aiming at least a partial victory.
The President’s Advisory Commit-
ee issued its report on Assistant Pro-
fessfi of English Demaree C. Peck’s
J Appeal Friday, Jan. 7, more than three
months after she filed her appeal op-
osing the English department’s deci-
1. ion not to renew her contract.
“We have won an unprecedented
victory, although it is less than I had
anfld,” Peck said. “Despite the ques-
ions that remain about due process and
rofessional judgement, this is an im-
ortant step in unpeeling what hap-
erred in the English department.”

WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY

Craun, however, claimed “the basic
finding was to exonerate the depart-
ment completely from all findings of
inadequate consideration.”

The committee, as charged by Presi-
dent John D. Wilson, was to determine
whetherornotthe procedures followed
by the English department were ad-
equate. They were not to address issues
of fairness or academic freedom. The
committee’s decision is two-fold; while
claiming the process was not inad-
equate, they also unanimously recom-
mended the English department ex-
plain fully their decision to not renew
Peck’s contract to her.

“The committee was charged to see
if the procedures had been carried
through and not to address questions of
fairness,” said Professor H. Thomas
Williams, Jr., chair of the President’s

Advisory Committee. “The
committee’s decision was not to imply
that something was wrong with the
English department’s decision.”

Copies ofthe committee’s findings
were sent to Peck and Wilson. To date,
Craun and the English department have
not seen the report.

“We have just been generally in-
formed by the administration of the
general findings of the committee,”
Craun said. “I would like to be free to
comment on it but I just don’t have
enough knowledge. I have been told to
refer all inquiries to the president.”

According to Wilson, the commit-
tee found “that there was no inadequate
consideration” and suggested “the de-
partment consider providing a more
elaborate explanation to Ms. Peek in
the spirit of collegiality.”

LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA

“The formal inquiry was to deter-
mine whether the provisions in the
decision to evaluate for
reappointment were ad-
equate,” Wilson said.
“The department was not
at fault.”

Peck, who joined the
faculty in 1988 as an in-
structor in English, be-
gan a four-year proba-
tionary period for a ten-
ure track position in the
department thefollowing
fall. Candidates for a ten-
ured position must com-
plete a six-year proba-
tionary period before be-
ing considered for ten-
ure. Peck would have been considered
for tenurein 1994-95.

However, the English department
decided in May of 1993 to cut short her

probationary period af-

lio of materials which
included student evalu-
ations, reviews by fac-

class, 21 letters which
were solicited by the de-
partment from 111
former students, as well
as three published ar-
ticles and several chap-
ters from her book on
Willa Cather.

formed of my dismissal

that ‘We don’t have to tell you any-

vided with a satisfactory explanation
for my non-renewal, I could have ac-
cepted it. A university of all places
ought to be a place where reason and
explanations can 've found when asked
for. But the view that such things hap-
pen because ‘ it is just so,’ is not rational
and not worthy of the tradition of honor
at Washington and Lee.

“One of the greatest ironies of this
wholething isthe English department’s
refusal to give me reasons in order to
protect my privacy.”

Peck said the English department
has attempted to “make an issue of my

SAC to hear FIJI
hazing charges

By E. LEE DAUGHERTY
Phi Contributing Writer

Phi Gamma Delta fraternity has been charged
with violating the university’s hazing policy and
will go before the §_t_u_dent Affairs Committee on
"Friday, January‘ I4. '

According to Dean of Students David Howison,
the charges included in the report are systematic
drinking and physical abuse of pledges.

Dean of Freshmen and Residence Life Dennis
Manning communicated the charges to SAC and
also‘ to the Interfratemity Council which reviewed
the case Tuesday night at a closed meeting.

“My understanding is that [the IFC] took the
report very seriously and handled the case respon-
sibly,” Howison said.

According to Interfratemity Council President
Curt Smith, the IFC heard the case and handed
down a verdict Tuesday night. The IFC verdict
itself will not be disclosed until after the SAC
reviews the case on Friday.

Smith said the IFC will report their actions to
SAC and offer suggestions for action they believe
the committee should take, but said SAC operates
under different rules from those of the IFC. The

IFC verdict is enforceable, regardless of the out-
come of SAC meeting.

Manning’s report was filed on the basis of
information given to him by freshman John K.
“Jay” Taggart, a former FIJI pledge. Taggart him-
self has not filed any charges against the fraternity.

Taggart has declined to comment until the SAC
hearing is over. ,

“We have informed the national fraternity,”
Howison said. “So far they’ve taken no action.”

FIJI President Ralph “Moke” Wolfe said he had
been directed by the IFC to not discuss the case.

The SAC is a committee made up of four faculty
members, six students, and two members of the
administration. Howison said the job of the com-
mittee will be to determine whether the hazing
policy was violated and, if so, what action should
be taken.

Howison said SAC can do one of four things: 1)
put the house on critical probation, 2) suspend the
fraternity for up to five years, 3) expel the fratemity
from campus, or 4) take no action.

Any action taken by SAC or the IFC can be
appealed. SAC’s decisions are appealable to Presi-
dent John Wilson and IFC appeals are made to the
Dean of Students and heard by the Board of Ap-
peals according to the IFC Constitution.

Professor of Chemistry
George S. Whitney, known for

‘ his energy and dedication to his

students and organic chemistry,
died Tuesday evening.

Whitney had been battling
prostate cancer for some time,
but his love for teaching kept him
going until September, when he
made the decision he could no
longer continue teaching.

Junior John Cox, who took
organic chemistry last year, said
“[Whitney] was so excited about
[organic chemistry], even if he
couldn’t stand up for the entire
lecture, he brought energy to it
when you knew he had no physi-

cal energy whatsoever.”

Whitney came to Washing-
ton and Lee in 1962 after receiv-
ing his Ph.D. from Northwestern
University. He became a full pro-
fessor in 1973.

“He was very worried if his
illness might affect how his stu-
dents were taught, he felt that
when he had gotten to the point
where his health was such that he
couldn’t teach as effectively as
he wanted to, he put the interests
of his students first and did what
had to be done,” said Erich
Uffleman, Whitney’s replace-
ment for the year. “It took tre-
mendous courage to teach as long
as he did and tremendous cour-
age to stop when he did.”

The department is now in the
process of hiring a permanent
organic chemistry professor.

Cox added, “I don’t know if

people understand how a class
like organic works  the class
became a family because of the
way it was taught by professor
Whitney. He thoughtorganic was
the neatest thing in the world.”
Whitney taught organic chem-
istry in one form or another since
he came to W&L. “He taught 
the first of the chemistry [general

education requirements]. He tried
to reach out to kids that were not
chemists,” said chemistry pro-
fessor Mike Pleva. “He included
organic and the kids who took
that course learned how to make
nylon. It was known as the nylon
class.’’ " .

Mexican rebellion continues

Indian rebels in Mexico bombed electric towers and shot
up a military base Sunday. The rebels are seeking to further
the rights of Mayan peasants. Four bombs exploded in
Mexico City Saturday. The rebellion began January 1, with
the capture of several towns in South Mexico. Since then,
over 105 people have died, most of them Indian rebels.

Oil spill makes a big mess

An oil barge spilled 750,000 gallons of oil after colliding
with a coral reef last Friday off the coast of San Juan, Puerto
Rico. The barge hit the reef after its towline snapped. Rough
seas have slowed efforts to stem the flow of oil still spilling
from the barge.

Neo-Nazis spread violence

Neo-Nazis in Germany carved a swastika on the face of a
girl in a wheelchair after she refused to repeat fascist slogans
including “Gas the cripples.” The attack has caused a
nationwide manhunt for the suspects. Eighty handicapped
people reported attacks from extremists last year and the year
before. Since 1990, neo-Nazi violence has killed 30 people.

Branch Davidian trial begins

A jury was seated Wednesday for the trial of 1 1 survivors
of the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas. The
members will be tried for murdering four agents of the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, which raided the

- compound in February. The defense will try to show that the
cult members acted in self-defense. If convicted, the 1 1
defendants could get life in prison without parole.

 

Scientists to examine radioac-

Wilder won’t run for Senate

Virginia Gov. Douglas L. Wilder unexpectedly withdrew
from the U.S. Senate race Thursday night. Wilder made the
announcement at the end of his last State of the Common-

The Executive Committee had some suggestions
for the Committee to Review Coeducation at their
regular meeting Monday night.

“If you get the campus leaders together... they’ll
go back and tell their groups what you’re all about,”
said EC President Bob Tompkins to members of the
coeducation committee.

Members of the EC gave suggestions to the presi-
dentially-chartered group about how it might be
more effective at soliciting the opinions of students
about coeducation.

EC Vice President Jimmy Kull and Secretary
Ashby Hackney suggested that the opinions of men’s
groups might help the committee.

“Have you thought of going to the IFC?” asked
Kull.

Coeducation committee member Frankie Jones
said the group is not yet up to that stage.

To show or not to show.

Late last year, Washington and Lee
students overwhelmingly chose not to
show up for their Calyx pictures.

According to senior Anthony
Catalano, co-editor of the Calyx, less
than a third of all freshmen, sopho-
mores andjuniors attended the picture-
taking sessions despite the many mea-
sures taken to increase the consistently
poor turnout.

“We moved the location from the
University Center to Reid Hall and
advertised extensively hoping that
things would be different,” Catalano
said

“In the past, some students simply
did not want to pay the $15 setting fee
charged by Andres Studios. Now they
could have charged it home,” Catalano
added.

Catalano blames the attitude of the
students for the low turnout. He stated
that many students do not show up
because they think it is not the “cool
thing” to do.

“This is the students’ yearbook, their
history. lt is here so that 20 years from
now they can remember each other and
share their memories with their loved
ones,” he said.

He also commented that the low
turnout make the staff’s job more diffi-

day will most likely be February 2.

calls this term and last, according to Johndrow.
Between eight and 12 people have reported the

EC aids co-ed committee

“Campus life is such a big part... that we haven’t
got around to all of [the campus groups],” said Jones.

The coeducation committee has 12 members:
three students and nine professors and members of
the administration. They are scheduled to report to
the president of the university in August.

Hackney said he was concerned that some of the
professors on the committee who were hired after
coeducation began at Washington & Lee would not
be able to compare the all-male W&L with the co-ed
W&L.

“A lot of these professors (on the committee) are
recent professors,” he said.

Coeducation committee member Daniel Felton
assured Hackney that some of the professors on the
committee were able to provide that perspective.

Junior EC Representative Alex Cross inquired
about the results of attempts by the committee to
solicit opinion through The Ring-tum Phi and The
Trident.

although no actual threats were made. Some of the

“We’ve changed a couple of phone num-
bers,” said Dana Camper, W&L’s telecom-
munications service manager.

Telecommunications has been working
with university services and will be talking
to the Executive Committee.

ln addition to crank calls, many stu-
dents’ phone boxes have been locked.

Crank calls aside, however, some stu-
dents may be unwittingly leaving nasty
messages on other’s machines.

When students record obscene or un-
caring messages instead of their name into
their phones, that message automatically
replays to the recipient.

“The one thing we'd like would be for people to
put their original name and last name. It makes it hard

for other people if you don’t,” said Camper.

said.

This year the sororities have tried to
eliminate dissatisfaction that resulted
from last year’s Rush.

The sororities were also asked to
take a harder look at minority mem-
bers.

“There is an emphasis this year on

keeping in mind that'W&L is a small

community and it is not in the best
interests of the sororities to be as exclu-
sive. Because there are fewer of them
than the fraternities this means that a
lot of girls who don’t ideally fit a
sorority’s character could potentially
be left out, like last year,” said a soror-
ity member who requested her name

Dean search continues

By LOURRAINE TioAs
Phi Staff Writer

Randall P. Bezanson, Dean of the
Law School and Professor of Law, is
leaving his position as dean at the end
of this year.

A search committee consisting of
eight members of the Law School fac-
ulty and chaired by Washington and
Lee President John D. Wilson will rec-
ommend a replacement. Wilson will
make the final decision. The commit-

tee has also consulted some ‘students
and alumni, according to Bezanson.

One member of the search commit-
tee, Associate Dean of the Law School
and Professor of Law Mark H.
Grunewald, said “the process is still
quite fluid. Even within the last several
weeks, new candidates have been en-
tered.”

Grunewald expects the candidate
pool to narrow and interviewing to take
place in February, with the final deci-
sion to be made in mid- to late March.

.,
This is Bezanson’s sixth year at
W&Las dean of the Law School. Be-
fore coming to W&L, he taught at the
University of Iowa Law School.

Bezanson said he will teach next
year at the University of Iowa Law
School and “will presumably return”
to teach at W&L Law School the fol-
lowing year.

“It is the custom to leave for one
year so that the new dean will feel free
to propose changes or other new direc-
tions,” said Bezanson.

half years ago, said Stinson. When
Harb’s and City Steaks & Subs opened,
however, his profits fell by more than
50 percent. He brought in live music
on the weekends, trying to cultivate a
crowd that would come in for lunch
during the week as well. ,

“I was the vessel through which the
music was distributed to the public,”
he said.

But when Stinson could not meet
his January rent and yearly license re-
newals at the end ofl993, he decided to
close. The 20-year-old business closed
December 31.

W&L senior Alex Haw said he will
miss the restaurant and its owner.

“It was the cultural center of the
entire town,” said Haw. “Frank was a
nice guy.”

Haw said he liked how Stinson al-
ways sat down and talked with his
customers, making it a down-to-earth
environment. He said he will miss the
R&B and old—time music and the veg-
etable soup, which he said was the best.

While Stinson closed for financial
reasons, The Bone co-owners Neil
Arnold and Paul Bowen decided they
did not have the time to devote to the
business to make it as successful as
they wished. They closed January 9.

The business "grew by 17 percent in
1993, said Arnold, but “it’s a collective
decision on part of my partner and
myself to discontinue this business on
the basis of economic forecasts and
long—terrn development of the assets.”

Arnold lives in Virginia Beach, and
the demands of the business were tir-
ing, he said.

“I tried to stay absentee. I tried
bringing managers in,” he said, but
business was better when he was in the
restaurant.

After opening in July of 1991 , The
Bone had the largest capacity for bands
of any Lexington restaurant and at-
tracted both students and locals.

Arnold‘ booked the live music on
weekend nights with with the help of
Night Owl Music owner Wayne
Raynal.

lnthe future, Raynal will book bands
for The Raven & Crown, said The
Raven & Crown’s co-owner Chris
Gorman. In fact, the two bands booked
for The Bone on January 13 and 14
have been rescheduled to play at the
Raven & Crown.

“I ’m not glad the otherplaces closed,
because it’s good to have a variety of
places to go,” said Gorman.

However, he said he does think the
restaurant will have an advantage now
that it did not have before.

then went to the infirmary just before
5:00.

A nurse at the infirmary said she
could not release the names of patients
or at what time they came in. She
would not verify that Flowers had been
in the infirmary that day without an in-
person request from Flowers.

Owens said she called local high
school principals looking for Mary
Stuart. but no one of that name was
registered at any high schools in the
area.

Owens said a W&L student called
her later, saying he had seen what hap-
pened and could identify the woman in
the store. He asked to remain anony-
mous.

“We called the police with that in-
formation." said Owens. "We [Owens
and Hoke] identified her from old news-
paper photos.“

“ Last week someone else who had
also been in the sto_r§ during the inci-

dent identified the person,”said Owens.

“I have also been interviewed by the
Honor Court,” said Owens. “l have
refused to testify until the individual
has the right to go to trial.”

“In this type of situation where the
individual is going to college we don’t
want them to be kicked out of school,"
said Owens. “We would prefer the
people not to have shoplifting on their
record, but have to do community ser-
vice and go to the high schools and
middle schools and explain how they
almost ruined their lives. We don’t
want them to lose their educational
opportunity.”

Flowers said Thompson would tes-
tify for her in court. She also said she
talked to her mother and her brother on
the telephone during that time.

“I was in my room the whole day,
tryingto study for an exam.” said Flow-
ers. “The fact is that it rests on what
somebody says about me. Its my word
against theirs.”

“If I get charged with that I get
kicked out of school. I don't think
that’s fair.”

Whitney was said to be someone
that could talk to anyone for hours.

“I don’t know anything that George
Whitney wasn’t interested in; he was
the last of a breed and that breed was
the Renaissance man,” said language
professor Robert Youngblood.

Perhaps the people that he touched
most were those that went through his
class. They were probably the people
he cared for most as well.

“He was the most genuinely con-
cerned professor I’ve ever had. He will
be sorely missed,” said senior Jon
Yeargan.

Junior Mike Witsil said “he cared
more about teaching than any profes-

sor I have had here...I have learned
more outside the classroom in his class
than I have learned inside the class-
room with any other professor.“

When it came to grading quizzes in
Whitney’s class, he would be very le-
nient if you thought you understood the
problem and give you credit, but if you
failed to attend the event at Lenfest the
night before you lost a point. Witsil
remembered a phrase Whitney would
use when a student had a test and
couldn’t attend a music recital —
“Don’t let your schooling get in the
way of your education.”

Youngblood said Whitney “can
serve as a beacon for W&L students;
they can have a strict field of study, but
also enjoy a lot more in life.”

Lisa Alty,the otherorganic chemis-

something Whitney said when he was ,

diagnosed as terminally ill. “‘I feel like

a guy who jumps out of an airplane and,

pulls the ripcord but the parachute
doesn’t open, I try the safety chute nd
it doesn’t open either. I can enjoy the.
view or I can scream the rest of the way
down.”’

Professor of Biology Thomas Nye
said “I could always count on him for
something unusual to be added to my
life.”

Whitney is survived by two sofis, a
daughter and a grand child.

The Rin-tum Phi January 14. 1994

By David Wilmington
Phi Features Editor

lt’s not every day you get to hear a musical genius
logged by another genius.

Trumpeter Miles Davis died in 1991 after being in the
refront of jazz and popular music for almost 40 years.
turally, his death was followed by a number of reissued
leases from various record companies. Miles Davis an-
logies and personal eulogies from anyone who ever
ssed him on the street. Joe Henderson, a tenor sax player
d co league of Davis, chose to pay his respects in a more
ani gful manner — he recorded his interpretations of
vis’ own music.

Henderson’s 1993 release, so near, so far, is subtitled
/lusings For Miles” and features music written or made
pular by Davis. Co-producer Richard Seidel writes in the
er notes, “lt struck me that there was a whole group of
lly interesting compositions that had been written and/or
rodflzed by Davis but which were rarely, if ever, recorded
performed again after their initial appearance. We de-
ed to explore that repertoire on this album.” That’s not to
; these are obscure or inferior tunes. ln fact, four of them
~ confirmed jazz classics. The original performances by
l vis and his assorted side men were probably intimidating
ough to discourage faint—hearted musicians from offering
msflves for comparison.

Joining Henderson on this album are drummer Al Foster,
ssist Dave Holland, and guitarist John Scofield. All four
n worked with Davis at different times but have never
iyed together as a band. Foster was very close to Davis and
yed in his bands during the early 70s and early 80s.
)ll3l'ld and Scofield were each with Davis for three years,
t Hepderson was only in the band fora month. Henderson’s
iliarity with the repertoire more than makes up for any
k of personal experience with Davis’ band.

The first notesofthe album make itobvious Henderson’s
nd is as mellow and rich as any in the history of the
trument . The opening composition, “Miles Ahead,”
ws Henderson to demonstrate the absolute evenness of
tong while creating a playful, energetic solo. The slow
e of the melody combined with the initial sparse instru-
ntation is reminiscent of Henderson’s last album, Lush
E.

The beginning of the solo chorus on “Joshua” provides
example of Henderson’s new melodic vocabulary. He

In November of 1993, W&L ac-

That is, until partner Dale Hogue

is one of the highlights of the album due to its rhythmic
intensity and blues jubilance. Henderson’s solo is a 1993
statement of blues tenor sax characterized by flights of
dissonant harmony resolving into laid back blues riffs. He
swings gracefully on top of Holland’s sustained quarter note
bass line and Scofield‘s short, plucky guitar accompani-
ment. Scofield’sspacy.colorfullydissonantchordingseems
to drive Henderson into a kind of frenzy at the end of his
solo.

Holland starts his solo by cooling things off with mea-

phrases as ifsavoring the sound and listening for inspiration
(which he receives. in part. from Henderson, who you can
hear commenting in the background). As Holland relaxes

Blue explained, “ ‘Flamenco Sketches‘ is a series of five
scales, each to be played as long as the soloist wishes until
he has completed the series." Henderson uses this extremely
open structure to create a kaleidoscope of musical impres-
sions. Where the original “Flamenco Sketches”solossounded
like three different expressions of endless longing,
Henderson’s solo feels like a whirlpool of emotions churn-
ing inside a single person. He manages to evoke memories
of saxophonists John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderly in
his solo. Pan of his final statement of the melody is an
invocation of Davis himself. Scofield manages to make one
of the most famous piano accompaniments sound as if it
were written for guitar and Foster is able make brushes on
a snare drum sound like the distant maracas of a carnival.
The piece ends with Henderson is last notes fading like sighs
into the sound of his breath over the reed.

axophone great pays tribute

enderson remembers Miles Davis in ’93 Jazz release

Both “Teo” and “Milestones” are good examples of the
group’s ability to interact melodically and rhythmically
while swinging together at different tempos. “Sidecar”
touches on Davis’ rock influenced sounds of the late 60s and
early 70s. While the rhythm section lays down a plodding,
almost rap-like, backbeat, Henderson manages to swing
even better than Davis did on this type of tune.

The only shaky element on the album, as heard in
“Circle,” is Scofield’s ability to swing. The ballad is one of
Davis’ most interesting pieces because of the way the
harmony, melody and rhythm seem to push everything
forward while constantly tying each other up. Scofield’s
playing is hannonically fascinating, but doesn’t seem to

‘swing — especially when playing with Henderson and

Foster who can swing using a single note. The only tune
where Scofield seems to let loose and swing is, appropri-
ately, “Swing Spring.” Here, he manages to keep his adven-
turous harmonic and rhythmic identity while maintaining a
relaxed swing during his solo.

so hear, so far is the second in a series ofjazz composer
songbooks Henderson is recording for Verve records. In the
tradition ofthe great Ella Fitzgerald songbooks, Henderson
and his producers pick a specific composer and record an
album focusing on a specific era or form of that composer’s
works. Henderson’s first songbook recording, Lush Life.‘
TheMusic ofBilly Strayhorn, was released in 1992 to almost
universal critical acclaim. His popularity has continued to
grow as shown by numerous “Jazz Artist of the Year”
honors in various magazines. Listeners are realizing why
Henderson is revered by the new generation ofjazz musi-
cians: he encompasses and filters the tenor sound of older
masters while fluently speaking and creating with modern
harmony.

As this kind of popularity usually creates an interest in
artists’ older work. here are some suggestions for those who
wish to investigate Joe Henderson. Two classic recordings
from the 60s, when Henderson was considered a product of
the Detroit jazz scene, are Page I and Mode For Joe. Both
albums feature outstanding sidemen and excellent writing.
Recent albums include The State ofthe Tenor: Live at the
Village Vanguard (Volumes 1 and 2) and Soul Gestures in
Southern Blue: (Volume 1) Thick in the South. The latter
recording was made with Wynton Marsalis’ band and guest
drummer Elvin Jones. Thick in the South is destined to
become one of those albums people kick themselves for not
paying attention to sooner. The compositions are the most
elegant statements of modern blues conception and
Henderson’s playing is nothing short of legendary.

Needless to say. ifyou get the chance to see him live. Joe
Henderson is. to quote an old saxophone teacher, "one of
those cats you sell your car to go see.“

B PECK, from page 1

percent of all her student evaluations were
overwhelmingly positive and if obvious gender
bias was discounted, 98 percent were positive.

flStudents have consistently praised many
strengths such as enthusiasm, imagination and
the ability to facilitate an open and animated
discussion,” Peck said. “As a female professor
who welcomes a variety of materials and per-
spectives, Irhave been particularly important to
the women and minority students.”

Many students did not respond to the
department’s request for a letter because of a
growing cynicism about the department, Peck
said.

After the department’s decision was made,
16 additional letters were sent in. In addition,
sophomore John Branam circulated a petition
Wdnesday, Jan. 12, which garnered more than
80 signatures showing student support for Peck.

“Many students have told me they were
cynical about the English department’s process

after what happened to John Lynch and did not
believe student opinion would be considered,”
Peck said. “The English department is ignoring
the student voice which is strongly supportive.
I believe the charge of teaching inadequacies is
a pretext for other motives.”

Late last spring, following the denial of two
separate requests for reconsideration and writ-
ten reasons for dismissal, Peck began looking
into other options open to her. She opted to file
the appeal after learning the American Asso-
ciation of University Professors (AAUP) stipu-
lates a committee composed of elected faculty
members should hear cases in which a “faculty
member challenges negatives decisions because
of inadequate considerations or more substan-
tial considerations such as discrimination or
denial of academic freedom.”

The only such committee at Washington
and Lee, the President’s Advisory Committee,
was chosen to hear the appeal. The six elected
faculty members began reading Peck’s 67—page
petition in early November.

The committee was to base its conduct on

that outlined for the standing committee by the
AAUP.

In reaching its decision, however, the com-
mittee based its judgment on university guide-
lines regarding the process of renewal and
tenure decisions as set forth in the Faculty
Handbook.

“A process, that in our judgment was not
flawed, still needs to be explained fully to
Professor Peck,” Williams said. “If a more
complete explanation of their decision is given,
it will certainly allow her to make more in-
formed decision as to what her next step will
be.”

However, the committee’s recommendation
to the English department to provide a detailed
letter explaining their decision, is - for Peck -
indicative of a major flaw in the department’s
considerations.

“According to the Faculty Handbook, the
candidate must receive a letter of evaluation
and the AAUP says you are to be given specific
reasons for dismissal; the English department
did not do that,” Peck said. “Now, the English

department will have to be accountable for their
decision. They will have to provide principled
reasons for my non-renewal which are consis-
tent with the factual record.”

Although the committee has reached a deci-
sion, there isThere is some debate as to whether
the English department will have to follow their
recommendations.

“It [the committee’s report] certainly doesn’t
end the issue one way or another,” Williams
said. “Another decision has to be made and the
next step will be his [Wilson]”

Peck said the committee’s decision poten-
tially provides a means of reopening negotia-
tions between the English department and her-
self although a mediator may prove to be nec-
essary since “the English department has proven
themselves to not be impartial.”

Branam said the findings of the committee
provide W&L with an interesting opportunity.

“The most valuable piece of this whole
situation is justice. The process that has gone on
with Professor Peck is wrong and correcting
that process is most important,” Branam said.

  

The Ring-tum Phi. January 14, 1994

ck decision still unclear

“This isn’t just a Professor Peck situation. It’s
a vehicle through which W&L can improve its
bad habit of narrow-mindedness and prove
itself a just institution.”

Despite the findings of the committee, the
sex discrimination charge filed against the uni-
versity with the Equal Employment Opportu-
nity Commission (EEOC) still stands.

“I don’t think the fight is over. lt’s just one
step in a larger process,” Peck said.

Although she views the findings of the com-
mittee as a victory, Peck nevertheless remains
concerned about the procedure and the ability
to make “power serve principle.”

“Perhaps it is only because the President’s
Advisory Committee did not consider issues of
fairness and objective professional judgment
based on the evidence, that they were able to
conclude there was adequate consideration,”
Peck said.

“They only considered the barest formali-
ties of procedures. I still have many questions
about the fairness of the English department’s
process.”

VMI still searching for solution

Strickler said he is not worried about the implications of the recent

By MICHEAL Hrswu-:1'r

A VMI proposal to start a parallel program for women at Mary
Baldwin College may still be alive.

On February 9, the Federal District Court in Roanoke will begin to
analyze Virginia Military Institute’s proposal to establish a similar
leadership program for women at Mary Baldwin. V

According to VMI Public Relations Director Colonel Mike Strickler,
the case will be presided over by Judge Jackson Kiser, the same judge
who ruled in VMI’s favor in 1991 in the United States 4th Circuit Court
of Appeals. '

Last June the Supreme Court refused to hear the case and sent it back
to a lower court.

Stricklersaid Kiser ruled that VMI had four options: become private,
create a parallel program for women, accept women, or propose other
creative alternatives.

VMI proposed that a Virginia Leadership Institute for Women be
established at Mary Baldwin College with one difference—-no rigorous
training program for first-year cadets.

Strickler said the Federal District Court will decide on the consti-

ruling by the Circuit Court, which said that the school must admit
women. Strickler noted that only one woman would be taking classes
and would be exempt from the school’s more stringent physical require-
ments.

He added that VMI has been struggling over this issue far longer than
the all-male Citadel.

“I think that ours [case] would have more of an effect on them than
theirs would have on us, ” said Strickler.

Anne Marie Whittemore, a lawyer with McGuire, Woods, Battle &
Booth in Richmond, said that VMI’s proposal satisfies the conditions
mandated by the Circuit Court.

Whittemore said she sees no conflicts with the Brown vs. Board of
Education decision, which dictated that separate but equal is inherently
unequal.

“We believe there are gender differences that would justify single-
sex [education],” she said.

Whittemore said the president and dean of Mary Baldwin will testify
along with various expert witnesses. According to Whittemore, Dr.
David Reisman, professor of sociology at Harvard University, will
testify that the program at Mary Baldwin will achieve some type of
leadership for women similar to VMI and that it is a unique and

tutionality of the proposal.

The Student Voice of Washington and Lee
Founded September 18, 1897

Favorite Prof
Passes Away

Washington and Lee is known for professors who care
about their students and take the extra, intangible step to help
us in our education. Even among a faculty known for its
dedication, George Steven Whitney stood out.

Professor Whitney gave his students more than book
knowled e. He gavethem his love and ener y. He pushed his
students t at one extra step, but Professor itney was a man
that was willin to go that extra step with them.

Professor itney’s students and colleagues have said
the will miss him. But anyone who has heard someone speak
of rofessor Whitne knows his influence will reach farther
than what he accomp ished in his lifetime. Professor Whitney
was notfjlust a professor and a collea ue. He was the kind of
person I at has the ability to change lives. Professor Whitney
will be missed, but he will not soon be forgotten.

How would you like it if someone came into your home

You probably would not like it at all, but that is essentially
what the university is oing to do to the residents of Gaines 1
Hall. The Gaines Hall Revitalization Committee has been
meetin all school year to try and make Gaines a more
desirab e place to live — no small undertaking. But the

each individual was su posed to write down what they liked

Save the planet, adopt a driver

DREAM LAND
Richard Weaver

We have got to do something about
this problem with people who do not
know how to drive. In the past month I
have encountered people who have I)
driven directly at me in my lane, 2)
tried to back up onto freeways, and 3)
p$sed me, pulled in front of me, slowed
down, and then waved to me, in that
order. I think you’ll agree this madness

‘ has got to stop.

Instead of doing homework, I have
spent the past week designing the per-
fect plan to reform this nation’s driv-
es. But before I unveil it, here is some
relevant background information.

For Christmas my cousin Jenni re-
ceived a wolf (really, this is relevant).
My other cousin Cindi found some
organization that deals with such things
and adopted a wolf for Jenni from a
pwk that roams Montana.

Apparently, for a fee, one may adopt
a wolf (or a whole pack) and receive
updates on where the wolf is roaming,
its family tree, as well as a picture. I
understand that you can even write
your wolf letters. The adoption fee
stwposedly goes toward the preserva-
tion of endangered species in the wild.
There are similar programs for blue
whales, eagles, The Trident, etc.

The adoption of random things such
as the above has inspired the perfect
solution to the aforementioned prob-

lem: there should be an Adopt-A-Driver
program. Before a license is issued,
new drivers would be required to find
a person who would be accountable for
any obnoxious driving the new driver
may commit.

For example, let’s say Robert E.
Student is driving along Henry Street
and he speeds up and pulls into the last
parking space, just as you are about to
pull into it. Instead ofbecoming sense-
lessly angry,

of resolving motoring disputes?” I
would then answer, “Because I com-
pleted Coach Jones’ Driver’s Educa-
tion Program,” and I am now omni-
scient.

When I was fifteen I took a driver’s
“education” course so that the insur-
ance company wouldrelease my mother
and simply charge us exorbitant rates
for our cars to be insured. My instruc-
tor for this course was Coach Jones of

assuming Tom

message to his adopted driver not to do
something so stupid again. Another
traffic problem: solved.

Now, you may be asking yourself,
in these exact words, “Richard, what

For the
course, the
school pro-
vided us with

wagons the size
of two Hondas
and a Hyundai
welded together. One of Coach Jones’
first acts as my driving instructor was
to point out our car had yellow govern-
ment plates; therefore, no policeman
could pull us over.

At this pointl should mention Coach
Jones was a connoisseur of fine rap
music. In fact. his driver’s ed course
required rap music, specifically M.C.
Hammer, be played atexcessively high

volume whenever we were driving.
His driving philosophy was something
like “Check your rear view mirror one
time for every bass beat.” This trans-
lated into his yelling “CHECK YOUR
REAR VIEW MIRROR ONE TIME
FOR EVERY BASS BEAT,” to which
I would respond, “WHAT? I CAN ’T
HEAR YOU!” Coach Jones would then
nod his head and look out the window.

When we drove around town Coach
Jones offered a running commentary
about 1) how stupid people are and 2)
his ex-wife. Coach Jones was also a big
fan of testing the time it took to get
from 0-60 m.p.h. in one of the station
wagons (11.8 seconds). I learned a lot
of stuff you can’t learn in a classroom
from Coach Jones.

I don’t think I need to say anything
further about my qualifications as Su-
preme Driving Authority. But I will
take the opportunity to add that we
could even involve W&L Security and
TheirTow-Truck Friends in the Adopt-
A-Driverprogram. If an adopted driver
messed up, we could have Tom Hespos’
car towed away. The possibilities for
driver improvement are limitless.

Please express your support for the
Adopt-A-Driver program today by

Clinton’s gay policy falls short

MY VIEW

should all be lined up and shot.” Someone with so
much fear and hatred for a particular group is not to be
assuaged by the knowledge that his homosexual co-

Melissa Sawyer, ’97

President Clinton’s new policy on gays in the
military is really nothing new — and as far as
pglicymaking goes, it is marred by ambiguity. The
policy permits homosexuals to “enlist,” but prohibits
“homosexual conduct.” This standard meets neither
the demands of the gay-rights activists, not those of
the opposition. Furthennore, it fails to fulfill either of
its two goals: that military morale be preserved while
the equal rights of homosexuals are enhanced.

The foundation of the Pentagon ’s consistent oppo-
sihon to allowing homosexuals in the military has
been forwarded by repeated official statements. The
basis of these has been that allowing gays in the
military at this time would undoubtedly lower the
morale and disrupt the cohesiveness of that particular
body. The military has justified its special policy on
homosexuals for years by declaring the military to be
ahody unlike any other, governed by certain neces-
sary infringements of personal conduct, and not sub-
ject to the same doctrines of equality the general

public has come to expect.

The new policy does little to protect this “military
morale.” Homosexuals will now be allowed to de-
clare their sexuality, as long as they do not participate
infiny conduct to express their lifestyle. For example,
a serviceman may not be dismissed for attending a gay

bar or subscribing to gay literature.

He may, however, be subject to review ifhe is seen
engaging in any physical acts - from holding hands
with a person of the same sex to sodomy. Wouldn’t
however the mere knowledge that a fellow service-
rrgn was homosexual have a morale-lowering effect
among his homophobic peers‘? Those who fear show-
ering with homosexuals will not be spared that —
indeed, they will be more likely to know the exact

identities of their gay peers.

One serviceman, recently quoted in The New York
Times, said when he was asked what he thought about

might allay this effect.

and absolute secrecy.

workers will never openly participate in any activities
related to their orientation. There is little incentive in
the new policy for improvement of the relationship
between hetero- and homosexual servicemen that

The Clinton policy is equally unsuccessful in meet-
ing the goals of the gay-rights activist — namely, that
homosexuals in the military be permitted to openly
express their orientation. Nominally these activists
have gained some ground in that recruits can now join
the services without lying about their sexuality. They
need no longer pretend to date members of the oppo-
site sex in order to “prove” themselves, or make
clandestine visits to gay bars. These advances are
largelyinsignificant, however. It is unlikely that more,
people will feel comfortable declaring their orienta-‘'
tion, fearing they will almost certainly become the
targets of their watchful and brutal peers. The fact that
the Pentagon (under judicial, executive, and public
pressure) will now openly allow homosexuals to
serve does not ensure an end to the physical and
emotional harassment of gays by their peers.

Furthermore, the policy does not satisfy the gay-
rights activists’ desire to subject the military to those
liberties and equalities guaranteed by the Constitution
and reaffirmed repeatedly by the courts. Certainly, the
homosexuals’ right to free speech is better protected
in that they may now declare their orientation. With-
out the right to express this sexuality, however, they
are not afforded the equal protection granted to het-
erosexuals. What serviceman would be willing to
declare his homosexuality, thereby opening himself
to attacks from his peers, without being able to partici-
pate in activities related to his chosen lifestyle that
would make the declaration worthwhile?

This policy then creates a de facto silence that
varies little from the former policy of an outright ban

Enforcement ofthe new policy is problematic, and
depends specifically upon the individual officers. An

officer that is anti-gay is more likely to actively
investigate and effect the prosecution of conduct
violations, while a more liberal officer may chose to
overlook some minor violations. The rules govem-
ing conduct are further complicated by their scope:
they extend into the servicemen’s behavior both on
and off the base, thereby giving the enforcement
officers jurisdiction over every aspect of the

servicemen ’s sexual behavior and family life. Mean-

lifestyle.

while, gay soldiers who have infringed upon the
rules and committed conduct violations are easy
prey for vengeful or blackmailing peers.

Finally, in a stroke damaging to both the activ-
ists and the opposition, the policy contains no
requirements for education, either about homo-
sexuality itself or the common fears related to that

against homosexuality stem from a fear of AIDS.

there is a fear that homosexuality itself is a conta-

Recent genetic research, however, has shown
homosexuality is not merely a behavioral choice —
there is a growing consensus among scientists that
our sexual orientation is inherent at birth and un-
changeable. Separatism then is not the answer to
those who fear homosexuality.

The new policy’s only major success is in that it
furthers Clinton’s political goals. It isa compro-
mise that has neither fully alienated the religious
right nor closed the door upon further pro-equality

Thanks to the wonders of the Na-
zional Football League scheduling (and
noney grubbing), we were treated to a
series of games this past weekend that
have no bearing on the playoffs what-
soever. Those Raiders are a real pow-
erhouse, just ask Cincinnati (for those
of you who were not keeping track, the
Raiders ended the BENGALS WATCH

a rematch of last year’s strange game.
To win the Superbowl, the Oilers will
have to equal the longest winning streak
in NFL history with 14 wins. The
Houston team has something to prove
after last year’s fiasco (the Oilers blew
a 35-3 second-half lead).

The NFC (besides, of course, what
Chris Bennan calls the NFC Norris
division) should once again provide
some interesting games.

The 49ers have one of the most
potent offenses in the game with QB
Steve Young, wide outs Jerry Rice,
John Taylor, et al., and the Cowboys

long can the AFC continue to lose?

So that this does not get too terribly
monotonous, I will move to the realm
of college basketball.

This past week saw the top five in
the polls completely re-worked. Ar-
kansas somehow managed to lose to
Alabama, Kentucky lost to Georgia,
and North Carolina lost to Georgia
Tech.

The Duke Blue Devils would have
become the next number one team if
they could have beaten Wake Forest
last night. The Devils lost on a bizarre
three point basket at the end of the
game. Clinging to a 68-66 lead,
Randolph Childress shot what appeared
to be a three point basket. The signal
from the referees was unsure at best,
and the scoreboard did not change.
Duke coach Mike Kryzewski, thinking
that the score was tied, did not call a
time-out and a Grant Hilljumper at the
buzzer rimmed out.

The Devils have responded to the
loss of Bobby Hurley and Thomas Hill
by bringing in Eric Capel and Greg
Newton as freshmen. Cherokee Parks
is finally living up to the his initial
expectations. The Devils should con-
tinue to put together a solid season.

Parting Shots-

How did Carolina manage to lose to
Georgia Tech by 20 points? l know GT
is good, but still, what happened?

The welcome sign at the Lynchburg city limits will
likely soon read “Generals Go Home.”

For the third year in a row, Washington and Lee
claimed the rights to the Turner Gymnasium with a
victory that stunned the home Lynchburg College fans.
The win is a key one in the Old Dominion Athletic
Conference standings for W&L (5-7, 3-4 ODAC).

W&L defeated the Hornets 70-67 Wednesday night in
a game in which the Generals trailed by eight with three
minutes left. A vision of senior Robert Miggins will now
haunt Turner Gym along with those of previous Hornet-
killers Bob Ehret and junior Mark Connelly.

Miggins scored four of his 15 points in the final 29
seconds to lift the Generals to the victory
that matches the team’s overall and con-
ference win totals of last season. Sopho-
more Cam Dyer had a game-high 20
points while the team held Lynchburg’s
top scorer, Anthony Cummings, to just
10 points.

“lt’s always big to win one on the
road, especially a conference game,”
said head coach Verne Canfield.

Washington and Lee had suffered
back-to-back defeats to Roanoke and
Mary Washington before beating
Lynchburg. The Generals’ 73-66 loss
versus Roanoke on Saturday, Jan. 8,
ended a three-game winning streak by
W&L. The Generals gave the confer-
ence-leading Maroons a run for their
money by fighting back from 10- and l l-point deficits in
that game to pull within two late in the game.

Although it was a loss, the Roanoke game was the
fourth consecutive strong performance by W& L, a streak
that ended Monday, Jan. 10, at Mary Washington.

The Eagles entered that game 1-5 on the season, with
their lone win coming against Shenendoah. However,
Mary Washington was fired up for the Generals and

W&L rally eventually evened the score at 57 in the final
minute, but with the game-clock at l 4 and the shot-clock
about to hit zero. the Eagles’ Jeremy White nailed a
three-point shot to bring the capacity crowd to its feet.

 

CAM DYER

failed on a three-point try. He had a game-high 14
points.

One factor that hurt the Generals was an off-night by
leading scorer Dyer. The sophomore was held without
a point in the first-half. Although he made some tough
baskets during the Generals comeback, he finished
with a four-of-13 shooting night.

“Cam has stepped up nicely as a sophomore,” said
Canfield. “He has to realize, though, that as a team’s
leading scorer, defenses will step up against him.”

Dyer was obviously not discouraged by the Mary
Washington game, though. He attempted 21 shots from
the field in his 20-point, six-rebound effort. Miggins
grabbed nine rebounds and has 19 points, 19 boards,
and five blocked shots in the last two games.

The W&L—Lynchburg affair was tied at half-time at
Turner Gym. The Hornets came
out buzzing and looked as though
they had finally broken the home-
court General-Ginx. [The previ-
ous two W&L visits to Lynchburg
resulted in buzzer-beating, game-
winning Generals’ baskets.]
Lynchburg led by as many as nine
and had an eight-point advantage
with three minutes remaining.
That’s about when the Generals
must have said “Oh, are we play-
ing in Lynchburg?" Two minutes
later, the contest was tied and
WLUR announcer Brian Logue
(who is the W&L Sports Informa-
tion Directorin hissparetime)was
having flashbacks to the previous
two trips to Lynchburg College.

The Hornets’ Wilbert Steppe, an 89 percent free
throw shooter, missed on two foul shots with 49 sec-
onds left. Twenty seconds later, Miggins drove from
the top ofthe key and made the lay-up for a two-point
Generals lead.

Women shoot toward win column

By BILL RUST
Phi Staff Writer

The women’s basketball team
has won three of its last four
games to bring the record to a
strong 5-4.

Thursday night, the Generals
demolished the sorry Sweetbriar
Vixens, 66-20.

Freshman Virginia Yoerg led
the way, scoring more than one-
third ofthe team’s points with 23
and 14 in the first half.

However, the win was re-
markably balanced, in that every
General but one scored in the
game.

Yoerg now leads the Gener-
als with 86 points.

Sophomore Sandra Holmes,

and senior Karen Stutzman lead
the team in its 43-41 upset of
Sewanee last Tuesday. Holmes
scored 10, and led the team in
rebounds with 10, while

Stutzman scored a team high 14
points.

The Lady Generals were
down, 33-35, with seven min-
utes to go, when Holmes hit two
important free throws to tie the

score at 35-all.

Washington and Lee, with the
helpofasix-pointshootingspree,
held on to defeat Sewanee 43-
41.

The Lady Generals had an
easier time last Saturday against
the Wesley Wolverines. The team
made the long trek to Dover,
Delaware well worth it with a48-
38 win.

The Wolverines came within
two in the second half, but sopho-
more Stacy Williams scored three
to solidify the Generals’ lead.

Yoerg led the team with nine
points, and senior Mary Tankard
led with 10 boards.

W&L had four players score
eight points or more in that con-
test. Holmes, Tankard, Williams

and Yoerg all had a hand in scor-

Dedication is often what sepa-
rates the great uthlclc from the
average athlete. With the Wash-
ington and Lee men’s and
women’s swim teams, dedica-
tion is what keeps them ahead of
the opposition.

Bothsquads keptuptheirwin-
ning ways on Wednesday night
with wins against Buffalo State.
With the wins, W&L swimmers
remained undefeated on the year
(men- 2-0, women- 4-0). Coach
Paige Remillard saidthattheteam
should continue to improve as
the season wears on.

Both swim teams have put in
Ircmcndous amounts of work
during rhc course of the season.
“l’m very impressed with their
cffort, " said Remillard as he
described the training practices
of the two teams. According to

the mcn‘s coach, the swimmers
worked harder over break than
they do during school.

Coach Remillard especially
praised swimmer Tony Diedrich
for his recent performances.

“He is the consensus most-
improved,” said Remillard ofthe
streaking swimmer. Diedrich
recently set 21 lifetime best in a
meet, an unusual feat fora swim-
mer in January.

The men’s team has suc-
ceeded despite a series of inju-
ries. Junior co-captain Grant
Holickey went down to a pos-
sibleseason-ending shoulderin-
jury recently.

Also, DavidStillmanand.lohn
Rowe have succumbed to viruses.
“Without a senior class, losses
affect the team more dramati-
cally,” said Remillard.

Coach Remillard praised the
commitment of both teams by
alluding to the fact that the ath-
letes often missed breaks due to

training and meets. “The sacri-
ficc is rewarded by relationships
and experience,” said the coach.
Remillard said that since sports
compete with so many other
things, it is sometimes difficult
to maintain focus.

Success has been the story for
both teams this year. The
women’s team has won 18 con-
secutive Old Dominion Athletic
Conference meets over the past
few years.

Last year, the women won
every event they entered in the
conference meet, but because of
a lack of numbers, were not able
to claim victory as a team.

This year, the women have
added much needed depth and
are the early favorites to take the
conference title.

Coach Remillard was quick
to complement the women.

“The women are my favor-
ites to win the conference. l
believe that they will dominate

the top spots,” said coach
Remillard. Whenthe final tallies

Swimmers remain undefeated;
women’s ODAC streak at 18

are taken, both squads should be
at or near the top of the heap.

Wrestlers
struggle, ..
win once

By STEPHEN WlLLlARD
Phi Assistant Sports Editor

 

Returning from break can
sometimes mean a letdown in
performance, but the Washing-
ton and Lee wrestling team over-
came the letdown this past week-
end in the Western Maryland
Quadrangular. 0

During the weekend, junior
Eric Shirley contributed three
wins as W&L posted its first win
of the season against Western
Maryland.

Lea Abercrombie also en-
tered in a key 4-3 victory in [re
match.

in the other two matches, the
Generals lost to Johns Hopkins
24-16 and to Messiah 31-9.
Against Hopkins, Shirley, Rob

de Clerk, Adam Williams. Owen '

Smith, and Colin Looney all won.
According to Rob de Clerk.
“There were a lotofclose matches
that could have gone eitherway."
The Generals look forward to
a home meet this weekend against
Davidson and Pensacola Chris-
tian in the W&L Triangular. .

“We feel like we had a good
week of practice and will do well
this weekend,” said junior wres-
tler Eric Shirley.

Washington and Lee has
shown great depth in the middle-
weight division so far this sQa-
son. The team is young (there are
only three juniors on the team)
and expects to improve.

“We’re pretty young and
should improve as the season
moves on,” said sophomore Rob
de Clerk. g

When asked, both do Clerk
and Shirley said that they expect
the team to improve as the season
moves along.

The W&Lwrestling squad has
put forth the dedication that is
necessary to produce a winning
performance. This team shou d
be competitive throughout the
season.

Track & Field

Both the men and the women
indoor track and field teams be-
- gin their seasons this weekend as
they travel to Lynchburg for an
open, unscored meet. .

This meet, Jan. 15, will be the
first step as the Generals quest
for the indoor Old Dominion
Athletic Conference Champion-
ship.

The men placed third last year,
and will be led by captains Scfitt
Covey, Todd Burkey and John
Robinson, all seniors.

Sophomore Dax Mahoney,
however, won the highest honors
last year as he was awarded the
Outstanding Performer honor at
the 1993 outdoor ODAC Cham-
pionship.

The woman’s team is at an
unusual place; the Generals are
still struggling with an unofficial
ODAC sport. though Washing-
ton and Lee routinely captures
the unofficial indoor champio3-
ship.

The women are led this year
by captains, senior Wendy Neel
andjunior Kim Herring. Sopho-
more Josephine Schaefferiscom-
ing off an All-American season
in cross country and hopes 0
repeat her trip to Nationals in
track last year. where she was
awarded All-American honors
with a second place finish in the
l0.0()()-meter run.

A strong class of freshmen
and the return ofall of last year’s
school-record-holders shou d
guarantee the Generals a repeat
of last year‘s unofficial indoor
championship.

This ycar‘s indoor ODAC
Championships will be held Feb.
26 at L} nchhurg.
