The second ap- peal was filed on behalf of the FIJI pledges by Frank “Terry" Griffin, father of FIJI pledge T.J.Griffin. “When he found out what happened, the events and the circumstances of the trial, he felt some- thing needed to be said,” Griffin said. “That’s why pend FIJI for 18 months for hazing on Jan. 17. Wilson gave FIJI an extension on the 10 days it had . to file the appeal, making the new deadline Friday, Feb. 4. Griffin said his father appealed on the same four grounds as the FIJI fraternity: lack of due process, punishment too harsh, false information in the letter to SAC from Dean of Freshmen and Resi- dence Life Dennis Manning in which he charged FIJI with hazing, and “the wrong guys being pun- ished.” However, the senior Griffin appealed only on behalf of the FIJI pledges. “There was no coordination between us,” said Photo By Betsy Green, The Ring-tum Phi he decided to get involved.” By STEPHEN WILLIARD Phi Staff Writer The worst is over.

The petition was sent to Gerry Darrell, director of food services, and was signed by 70 law students. Darrell approached the Executive Committee Jan. 25 for advice on the smoking policy for campus eating areas. The EC was split on its advise. The Health Education Committee has also proposed a ban on smoking in campus eating areas. Some students have said cigarette smoke is offensive.

The break would fall on October 20 and 21. ‘‘It would be a four-day week- end called reading days,” said Dean of Students David Howison. Howison said he introduced a proposal for a mid-fall break last year, but it was shot down by faculty. “This year we tried it again md it worked. Perseverance paid off,” Howison said. The faculty approved the break for the 1995-1996 calen- dar earlier this year, but voted Monday to start the break for the 1994-95 year. “The logic was that if we al- ready had it in the calendar for ’95-’96, then why not put it in for ’94-’95,” said Dean of the Com- merce School Larry Peppers. Peppers said Washington and Lee usually plans its academic calendar two years in advance. “The faculty view this as an experiment,” Peppers said. “There’s a clear sense that the faculty want this to work.” “I hope it’s not abused and turned into a five-day break. If it’s abused itwillbe eliminated,” he added Students also want it to work. ‘‘I think it’s great,” said junior Todd Stanton. “From Septem- ber until November is entirely too long to go without a break.” Stanton was also pleased with the length of the break. “Two days is even better than one day. Then people who live in Atlanta or far away can go home,” said Stanton. Seniors were pleased, but cynical. “We won’t get to enjoy it,” said senior Brian Carpenter. University faculty and admin- istration will get the long week- end as well. Spanish Professor Laurent Boetsch voted against the break at the faculty meeting. “My view is that I don’t deny that people get worn out, but there are a lot of reasons why and only one of them is academic,” Boetsch said. ‘‘I’d rather have two days in which we’d only have classes — no meetings, no dances, just classes.” But the majority of the faculty agreed that the break was a good idea. “I think it’s a great idea,” said Music Professor Gordon Spice. “I’ve always thought we needed a break; both faculty and students and staff and adminis- tration need a break.” Number of High School age users increases By THOMAS Hssros Phi News Editor Last year, a non-student sold almost two pounds of marijuana to members of the Washington and Lee community. His base of operations —— Gaines Hall. “Jim” said he sold other drugs in addition to marijuana over the course of a few months last year. He sold psilocybin mushrooms aswell. It all started small. “A bunch of people I knew approached me and asked me where they could get a bag (of mari- juana),” he said. “My majority of dealings was in marijuana. I never made any real monetary profit. I just never had to pay for any of my own drugs.” Jim sold to several groups of people. He was careful about his dealing. His buyers rarely dealt with him personally. ‘‘I was real paranoid about [getting caught],” he said. “That’s why so few people dealt with me personally.” Before establishing a base of operations in Gaines last year, Jim dealt drugs around town. His dealings were most often in marijuana, but co- caine, mushrooms and LSD were not outside his‘ reach. Friends with connections within the W&L community soon approached him about moving the drugs he was bringing into the area. Jim’s business in “hooking people up,” as he put it, quickly made him a popular man in certain social circles. He was reluctant, however, to turn a small operation into a profit-making machine. “Doing it for profit really made me feel kind of bad about it,” he said. Jim had to close up his business when he became worried about being caught in Gaines with the drugs. Too many people knew about his operation, Jim said, so he got smart and left the dormitory for good. “Too many people were dropping my name,” he said. While Jim was dealing out of Gaines, however, so See DRUGS page 5 OCR::/Vol_093/WLURG39_RTP_19940211/WLURG39_RTP_19940211_002.2.txt BEYOND THE BLUE RIDGE The World Israelis, Palestinians approve initial security agreement Israeli and Palestinian leaders signed an initial agreement that paves the way for an overall agreement on security issues between the two nations.

By SARAH GILBERT Phi Staff Writer Portions ofthe ceiling of the Watson Pavilion may have to be adjusted due to slight errors in the architect’s and contractor’s plans for expansion and contraction. However, the problem is not severe and will not cost the University any- thing, said Thomas V. Litzenburg, di- rector of the Reeves Center and Watson Pavilion. “When you have a building with such high ceilings and with a dome with a copper roof, it is rare that you would get it right,” Litzenburg said. Another adjustment the staff of the Watson Pavilion is facing is the lack of humidity in the gallery. When the building was designed, the architect, John Coplin, was told that 90 percent of the artwork would be ceramics, which do not require humid- ity adjustments. He decided at thattime not to include a humidifier in the cen- tral heating and cooling system. Now, however, more furniture has found a home in the Watson Pavilion and independent humidifiers must be crack the furniture. Litzenburg said that the adjustment was nothing more than an annoyance. “We’re now revisiting the question of humidity since we want more mois- ture in the building,” he said. “It is not an uncommon adjustment.” Litzenburg said the ceiling problem would not be fixed until the summer. “We expected that because of the nature of the dome there would be some movement,” he said. “We are going to continue studying it until we have a very good estimate of the extent of the expansion and contraction.” The problem will require only the re—tapingofsome comers ofthe ceiling where the drywall intersects, a mea- sure which the contractor had antici- pated. ‘‘If that’s the only problem we en- counter with the building, we’re emi- nently pleased,” Litzenburg said. Overall, the staff of the Watson Pavilion has found the building ex- tremely well—appointed. “As each day wears on, we’re more and more impressed with the build- ing,” Litzenburg said, “both with the excellent job the contractor did, and the subtlety ofthe design and the work introduced, so the dryness would not of the architect."

IFC discusses new Rush plan“ By MELISSA SAWYER Phi Staff Writer Plans for a deferred fall or winter Rush were considered in Tuesday’s lnterfraternity Council meeting. No consensus was reached, however, and discus- sion of the options is to continue in the next few meetings. The IFC for the second week in a row accepted suggestions concerning next fall’s Rush schedule from fraternity representatives. The council had a preliminary proposal which includes holding Open Houses sooner and adjusting the periods of Open Contact, when freshmen can associate openly with fraternity members. Associate Dean of Students for Greek Affairs Leroy C. “Buddy” Atkins said the faculty voted last week to add a two-day fall vacation next year. He said this change to the calendar could give the planners more options. Atkins said he advises the fraternity representatives to discuss various plans with their houses before holding an IFC vote. One alternative Atkins proposed was a type of deferred Rush in which the Open Houses would be held at the beginning of the fall term, and preference parties themselves would not be held until the fall break. ln this plan, those students who wish to Rush would stay in Lexington over the break. Junior Adam Plotkin, a Sigma Nu members, said he had developed a plan of his own, which would involve a similar deferred Rush. Atkins said either Rush would be shortened to avoid the problems caused by alcohol at parties or lengthened so it would be more casual. 6 A representative from lambda Chi Alpha said a lengthened Rush would be a financial burden on that « fraternity. “We couldn’t keep up with the houses that have ten or fifteen thousand dollar social budgets,” he said. “More than likely the current Rush procedure will be in effect this year, but [the IFC] will consideréhe pros and cons of the fall break,” said IFC President Curt Smith At the meeting Smith said he wanted IFC to work with the Student Activities Board to have a school- wide activity one weekend during Rush.

If the Mary Baldwin plan is accepted, VMI may be able to retain its all-male status by launching a parallel program at MBC. Security system considered By KATHLEEN QUIRK Phi Staff Writer The dorms at Washington and Lee may soon receive card-access systems for security, which would require anyone wanting to enter the dorms to use a university card to unlock the door. W&L Director of Security Mike Young said the system would start with the outside doors to the freshman dorms and Gaines, as well as the indi- vidual women’s halls and pos- sibly all individual halls. “The card access system,” said Young, “would eliminate anyone without a university card from the buildings. And it’s all on computer, so access can be resticted even further, such as an individual hall hav- ingtheir’s programmed to keep out anyone but the people who live there for certain times of the day.” “So at, say, 11:00, only the girls on the hall can unlock the door and everyone else - Young whether it’s Ted Bundy or your boyfriend — can’t get in. ” “We’re talking about a lot of expensive hardware here,” said Young. He estimated the cost forjust the outside doors and hallways to be around $50,000, and he said while funding has been requested, no purchases have yet been made. “The card-access security system has been in my plans for a while,” said Young. “lt’s been a goal of mine since I came here three years ago. When they rewired the dorms for cable and computers, they put in the wiring for this kind of system. The wiring’s all there — we had the foresight to do that —- we just need the hardware.” Young said increasing se- curity at W&L “has been a gradual process. When the women first came here, noth- ing was locked. ‘They added locks to the hall doors, but they weren’t used much.” “Now we have alarms to keepdoorsfrom being propped open and security guards watching things at night." From Staff Reports Virginia State Attorney General are on opposite sides of a plan designed to alleviate Virginia Military Institute’s coeducation woes. The plan, which involves the estab- lishment of a program for women at Mary Baldwin College, is supp rted by the attorney general, who sai the program could create female versions of the male citizen-soldiers who gradu- ate from VMI. The Justice Depart- ment, however, maintained that the parallel program at Mary Baldwin will allow sexual discrimination to con- tinue. 9 State Attorney General James Gilmore told U.S. District Judge Jack- son Kiser that the program would dif- fer from the program at VMI in that it would eliminate the combat training and military-style atmosphere found at VMI. But Justice Department Amor- ney Gary Haugen said the differences in the two programs are based on gen- der stereotypes, which is contrary to a 4th U.S. Circuit Court ofAppeals deci- sion on the VMI case. Kiser ruled that VMl’s educational experience would suffer if women were to be admitted, but his decision ofthree years ago was overruled by a higher court.

Essential Compact Discs for February By BETSY GREEN Phi Staff Writer There is one phenomena that seems to be com- mon among Washington and Lee students. 9 The lack of a decent radio station causes CD collections to explode. Instead of j ust charging home an armload of CD’s the next time you buy books, consider a more rational approach. After all, you can’t buy every CD that looks good. A refined collection also demands variety. If you only buy three CD’s this month, which should they be? I Do yourself a favor and pick up Lyle Lovett’s 1992 releaseJoshuaJudges Ruth . You will be taken in by the piano music and acoustic guitars. Lovett’s -voice is like a comforting hand on your shoulderthat warms you all day. Joshua Judges Ruth blends songs with an amaz- ing array of sounds. “You’ve Been So Good Up to Now” will make you want to slow dance with someone special. The gospel sounds of “Church” prompt you to clap and sing along. The first wail of sax in “All My Love Is Gone” pulls you into a bluesy, introspective mood. Joshua Judges Ruth is the CD that should be on your stereo the next time you’re in a quiet, mellow mood. Make yourselfa cup coffee, look out the window at the rain, and listen to Lyle Lovett. Even non-country fans will realize that Julia Roberts was the lucky one. Every CD collection needs to be stocked with some classic rock. Hotel California by The Eagles is an essential. It would be impossible not to like this CD; these are songs you forgot you know by heart. Joe Walsh’s guitar playing is not to be missed. Don nley’s vocals have a fascinating hint of restraint that gives the songs and almost unreal feeling. So many things in Hotel California have that same intriguing mystery about them.

Roll down the windows, turn the volume up, and sing along. As you belt out “Life in the Fast Lane,” imagine all of the people who must have done the same thing before you, everyone from Amy Fisher and Joey Buttafuoco to your parents. Finally, search as hard as you have to forSmeared, the debut album by the band Sloan. Sloan is at the forefront of the growing music scene to the North in Halifax, Nova Scotia, reputed to be the next Seattle. Sloan’s sound is hard to describe. They are a bit reminiscent of the bemonheads or Radiohead, but with a style like nothing you have heard before. Sloan’s lyrics are clever and will remind you of people you know. The song “Underwhelmed,” for example, is a hilarious description of unrequited love. “She skips her classes and gets good grades. I go to my courses rain or shine. She’s passing her classes while I attend mine.” The vocal harmonies and irresistible drum beats will keep you moving through the faster songs. The rhythms will follow you for the rest of the day. Chris Murphy’s vocals in the slower songs will be a secret only you can hear. Next Friday as you’re getting ready to go out, crank up Smeared and toss your hair around.

As the University entered its first quarter of the new four quarter system, it had a civilian student body of approximately 100 students, the smallest in the Universities’ history. The total W&L student body, including civilians and Army SpecializedTraining cadets numbered 325. On February 1 1, 1969, the Phi reported a story concerning the invasion of Q Lexington by unidentified flying objects. On three occasions in less than a week a red, fiery UFO was reported flying across the Lexington skies. The first sighting was by residents of Taylor Street. They said that the object stopped and hovered above the Robert E. Lee Hotel for about five minutes. During this time it lowered a fireball to the ground. The same residents reported a similar incident three nights later, however this time the fireball was lowered on Stonewall Jackson hospital.

Trustees also stated that they would investigate thoroughly the possibility of coeducation. On February 9, 1989, the Phi reported on various W&L and Lexington area robberies and acts of vandalism. The previous year had seen the stealing of approximately 100 tapes from the Bookstore and various items from carrels in the undergraduate library.

The Foreign Student to arrive in theaters soon By MELXSSA SAWYER Phi Assistant Features Editor Washington and Lee’s campus will soon be displayed in movie theaters throughout the United States and Eu- rope. The movie adaptation of Philippe Labro’s The Foreign Student is due for release this spring. Labro, an exchange student at W&L in 1956, wrote The Foreign Student about his experiences at a small southern college. For the movie, the college is called Asheland-Stuart, a coeducational school. The Foreign Student which was published in 1986, was on the French bestseller list for 30 weeks, and won a major literary prize. Labro is now a renowned author in Europe, and has had several subsequent bestsellers, in- cluding One Summer Out West, Le Petil , and Fifteen. Labro is also a director,,but orginall y had refused to direct the production of his own novel. After going through three produc- ers, however, including 1954 W&L graduate Paul Maslansky (The Police Academy series), finally Tarak Ben Ammar (The Color Purple) got the filming process rolling. French fashion andjournalism pho- tographer Eva Sereny, winner of the British Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences award for her short film The Dress, agreed to work on the film. In December of 1992, Sereny and her producer, Mark bombardo, were scouting a place to film the movie. After looking throughout the Caroli- nas and Georgia, they saw Lexington and decided that W&L was the perfect location. After some initialhesitation, the administration agreed to allow the filming to take place on campus, start- ing in March. Many W&L students and alumni were chosen to be a part of the film, along with actress Robin Givensand actor Marco Hofschneider (Europa, Europa). ' Some W&L students working on the film had speaking parts. They received on-screen credit and the Screen Actor’s Guild minimum daily wage (about $460) for their work. Several students also worked as extras for the film. Junior Brian McClung auditioned in Richmond and received a speaking. part in the film. At the time, McClung said “lt’s a total fluke. lt wasjust luck.” Once the auditions were over, the camera crews filmed the Colonnade one day and Evans Dining Hall. the second. Senior Heather Aussiker, an .extra in the film, said she was surprised the director didn’t take more shots ofW& L. “It would have been hard‘ for the University to accommodate more [film- ing], especially with all ofthe students here,” Aussiker said. , I Aussiker said that the scene she worked in was the opening sequence, in which the student first arrives on - campus. This opening sequence ofthe film shows the Colonnade. “lt’s a beautiful shot. The school looks really good,” said Aussiker The film,with an $8 million budget, will be released by Gramercy Films, reportedly in March. Lornbardo said he hopes to have the film play in at least 250 cinemas nationwide.

A recent survey of51,000 high school and eighth grade students in more than 400 schools found that the anti-drug message is not being listened The University of Michigan study found that 9 percent of eighth graders, 19 percent of 10th graders and 26 per- cent of 12th graders admitted to using marijuana in the past year. Compared to an identical survey taken last year, hese are increases of between 2 and 4 éercentage points. Dr. James Worth, counseling psy- chologist at W&L, said these statistics will affect W&L’s student body soon. “lt’s going to affect all colleges and universities,” he said. ‘‘I don’t think we can put our heads in the sand about That.” Worth said he gets information about the drug problem at W&L from various sources: students, other faculty mem- bers and fellow counseling psycholo- gist and Associate Dean of Students Anne Schroer-Lamont, to name a few. 0 “[My information] is a little better than what an average person might hear out on the street because some of it is privileged communication and people would have no reason to lie,” he said. “The common wisdom around here has been ‘yes, we have alcohol Qroblems, but we really don’t have drug problems’ But I’m hearing that we actually are having an increase in the use of recreational drugs.” A W&L senior agreed with Worth. “I’d say [drug use] is up,” he said, “especially with the freshmen.” Q Worth said he is aware of which drugs are commonly used by W&L students: marijuana, but not heroin; LSD, but not freebased cocaine. Freebasing is a method in which co- caine is put into solution and injected, rather than snorted. . “I understand from what l’ve been told that marijuana usage is increasing and is fairly widespread,” he said. “I’m hearing that there is at least some use of cocaine on campus, although l’ve not heard of any crack. I hear occasionally about LSD and mushrooms. I have not heard of any heroin use. l’ve not heard about freebased cocaine.” Another senior agreed. “Pot is definitely the main drug of choice on campus,” he said. “LSD and ’shrooms come and go. They’re here one day and gone the next.” Worth said he has not heard about the use of designer drugs, which are substances manufactured in a labora- tory to function like other drugs. “Designer drugs... I haven’t heard one way or another, but it does seem like there’s more talk about use of drugs now thanthree years ago,” Worth said. Worth said he is particularly dis- tressed by the notion that students who may have problems with drugs may rule out seeking help from the university ’s two psychologists because they are wrongly seen as a part of the disciplinary process at W&L. “I am not part of the disciplinary process in this school,” Worth said. “I wasn’t hired for that. I don’t want the students to think that they have to come in and get a spanking from Dr. Worth if they’re caught with drugs or alcohol.” Worth stressed that he is there to help students. A student who ap- proaches Worth with a potential drug or alcohol problem is guaranteed con- fidentiality, he said. Worth said he will give a student a fair assessment of any problems they might have with drugs or alcohol, should they ask for one. “If [a student] is addicted, he needs to know so that he can get help. I just don’t want the student body to think that we (Worth and Schroer-Lamont) are disciplinary people. It comes across that way. I don’t know what to do about it and it really bothers me.” Worth said after he establishes a rapport with a student who comes to him for help, he can conduct an assess- ment and a drug and alcohol history for the student. If the student shows no signs of addiction or strong psycho- logical dependence, the student can be dealt with as an ordinary student counselee, Worth said. “However,” said Worth, “if there is a question of addiction or strong psy- chological dependence, then we would probably refer to a drug treatment cen- ter for a second assessment to augment our own.” These assessments contribute to a recommendation for the student, Worth said. If a student is mandated to have a session with Worth but the Student Conduct Committee, Worth said he would tell the appropriate dean that the student came to see him and what he recommended to the student, but no details of the conversation would be given. A contributor to the drug problem, Worth said, is the strong Greek system that provides much of the social life at W&L. However, the individual fraterni- ties themselves may not be contribut- ing to the drug problem. Rather, Worth said, the people who take risks with drugs are generally more gregarious, impulsive, spontaneous and somewhat more rebellious. “Where do people like that usually hang out? They’re probably not going to be alone on a Saturday night in their donn room,” said Worth. “They’re probably going to be a member of a social club or fraternity — As a group, the kinds of characteristics that lead a person to join a fraternity may also be the kinds of characteristics that may lead a person to experiment with drugs.” This is not to say that campus Greeks are the culprits, said Worth. “There are people in fraternities who have never and will never use drugs or even alcohol,” he said. And the social aspect of the Greek system adds to the temptation to abuse drugs, Worth said. “There’s a social aspect to the use of substances,” Worth said. “If your group tolerates or encourages the use of mari- .

Flip: tiling-tum lfilii The Student Voice of Washington and Lee Founded September 18, 1897 Common courtesy Suppose you are renting an apartment from a local landlord. The landlord wants to make some repairs to your apartment. What does the landlord do? He makes an appointment or some kind of arrangement with you, right? But when Washington and Lee’s fraternity members rent prop- erty from the university in their fraternity houses, those basic concessions go right out the window. Many fraternity members will tell you unfamiliar repair and maintenance people are con- stantly walking in and out of their fraternity house without being announced or telling anyone why they are there. Why this invasion of privacy? Is it too inconvenient for Build- ings and Grounds to call a fraternity house mother to set up an appointment to make repairs? Evidently so. Most service businesses set up an appointment with the people who hire them. If your television set breaks, the repairman will let you know approximately what time to expect a visit. If you have problems with leaky pipes, you can expect the plumber to set up an appointment rather than just “dropping by.” Safety Officer Jim Boyd of Buildings and Grounds also likes to make surprise visits. His inspections of fraternity houses often come at inopportune moments, such as in the early morning after a Wednesday night party. But regardless of when these inspections occur, they all have one thing in common: they come without warning. A This doesn’t seem to make sense. Boyd inspects the fraternity houses for damage and for cleanliness. Maybe if he gave the fraternity house mothers some advance warning about when he will make a visit, the brothers in the house would have a chance to fix any damage or clean any mess that needs attention. This could save B&G a trip and save the fraternity a bit of money. Now let’s get back to the rental property scenario: If you were renting an apartment from a landlord in town and an unknown person walked in without being announced, what would you do? Maybe you would call the police. Perhaps you might challenge the person at the door. Maybe you might do something else. But you would not allow the person to just walk in and out of your apartment, would you? How does the situation change when you rent a piece of property from the university? It doesn’t. Or at least it shouldn’t. The members of W&L’s fraternities, or anyone who lives in university housing for that matter, should not tolerate this blatant violation of their privacy. Whatever the legal implications of the situation may be, it is rude and inconsiderate to barge into someone ’ s private living area, regardless of the reason. An ounce of prevention Lexington Police Chief Bruce Beard would like to pass along a few words of wisdom to those who will be leaving town for break. He said students should lock their doors and secure their windows before leaving. Seems obvious, doesn’t it?'Double check to make sure you’ve locked up. Beard advises driving a nail in the top frame of windows that don’t have a lock so the window can not be raised. //_,,{x\K<\ ..\>*l/4.». C Cultural insecurity threatens war It is probably trite by now to write an article on the situation in Bosnia; most of us are tired of hearing about the whole thing. So let me be clear that it is not my intention to analyze the war there in political terms only, and to propose a set of actions that President Clinton, for example, should undertake. That would be fruitless. Instead, I will try to analyze the war from a more detached, historical point of view. In short, I shall ask: just why are these people fighting in Bosnia, and what does it, or should it, mean for us? Let me preface my interpretations with this simple reminder: there are two sides to human nature, the social and the selfish. Different words can be used to expressed this duality, like communal and individual- istic, but it all amounts to the same thing. It is human NICHOLAS L. WADDY, ’96 worked around, not tink- ered with. Prejudice may be a human imperfection, our own paths, to establish our own unique and personal “cultures?” Why not create a world society based on tolerance, and not on moralism? Throw off the shackles of tradition, in short, and be free. fortunately this is all non- sense —-— abstract dreaming worthy of the philosophes, but not of right-thinking people. For did we not say that it is part of human nature to form these attachments to the group, even to dislike those not in the group? Does anyone still believe that human nature can be per- fected, or even essentially changed? If so, they should put off all such illusions: human nature ‘must be Cultural insecurity has never existed at the same Tempting indeed, but un- ideas may serve to soothe long-lasting divisions, but in the long run they inevitably lead to a reaction, to a reassertion of cultural differences, even by way of force. Let us remember, frightened people are violent people. ‘ What can be done? We must blunt the influence of forces like relativism and individualism: th lead to the death of culture. moreover, as we mentioned, that culture refuses to die — it is too embedded in our natures. When threatened, it reacts (and strongly too). We must provide, therefore, a vehicle for nations and ethnic groups to feel secure in their identities, to feel that they may stand some chance against the onslaught of MTV and Coca—Cola, and against all the em- blems of our valueless feel-good pop culture (most especially Barney, the culture—destroying dinosaur). The problem IS, high level as it does today, mainly because of the dubious bless- Beard also advised Students who are leaving town to ask nature to divide into groups, and to be suspicious of but it is alsoa humanfact. ings ofthe age of mzfls Someone who is staying to look after their bejohgings while they and feel superior to those outside of one’s own par- What should it all . . communications, so are gone.

Beard also said Lexington police have a vacation property checklist. Students should call or stop by the police station to fill out a form that lists the name and contact number of the student, and lists valuable possessions on the property. Police will also ask if the mail will be picked up and if the lights will be on. Police then check the property while the resident is gone. If all this advice seems like good old common sense, that’s because it is. Use it. Quote of the Week: “Tiny bubbles...In my wine...make me happy!” ~—VMI cadets hollering cadence to an old Don Ho song Ellie lilting-htm lfllii the war in Bosnia is being fought based on social motivations, specifically ethnic motivations. Tradi- tional groups, like Muslims, Serbs, and Croats, dis- trustful of each other and anxious to ensure the sur- vival of their respective peoples and traditions, have taken up arms in a messy civil war. You might call it nationalism; you might call it chauvinism; you might call it fascism — all the same, you cannot deny its essentially collective nature. The tempting answer to the Bosnian question, then, is this: abolish the accursed institution of preju- dicial nationalism. Encourage all people to think of themselves as members of one human family. Or better yet, why should we even feel such a need to submerge ourselves in a group identity; why should we not face the world as individuals ready to carve out ticularly surprised that Bosnian Muslims and Serbs like to kill each other; it is nothing new and will probably never change. It means that all people crave a social and cultural identity, even for the purposes of making themselves feel superior, and that this will prob- ably never change. It means that the pace at which traditions and cultures are being uprooted by the siren songs of rationalism, materialism, and individualism emitted by the West should concern us. In the short run, these alluring human nature can be perfected, or even essentially changed? I f so, they should put off all such illu- sions: human nature must be worked around, not tinkered with. Prejudice may be a human imper- fection, but it is also a human fact. haps the fact that they are notacomnmnplace yet should be). Some- times we are not Ill “just the same”; some- times we cannot “just get along.” However unappealing a realiza- tion it may be, people need walls between them: if you tear th down, look out! They will be built up anew, taller and thicker than before, and scarred with the suffering caused by good intentions. The Age of Reaction has already begun; Bosnia is a foretaste. Bon appetit.. Recycle now, before you have to ' I have decided to write this week about one of my favorite topics, envi- ronmentalism. The lack of it at W&L has been bothering me for a while now, especially since Lexington would seem “Seinfeld.” Hate to break this to you, but landfills don’t stop expanding be- cause you are watching “Seinfeld.” Right now, sitting at home in Lexing- ton, it seems really unlikely that a to bet it wouldn’t be as much fun if it was surrounded by concrete and in the middle of a city. Once again a healthy environment comes into play. As for all of you who are hunters, you can’t reasons for being environmentally aware hold true for both the U.S. and Lexington, although, for examp e, Detroit’s natural atmosphere can’t re- ally be compared to Lexington’s.

Now to get down to why you should turn off lights and save water. Well, for those of you who pay for utilities, it saves money. I can get you all sorts of charts and graphs to prove thisto you — just let me know. For those of you who live on campus, I guess your motivation will have to be in knowing it is the right thing to do. Now as for recycling, previous col- umns have gone into why you shouldn ’t recycle due to opportunity costs. Ifyou go and recycle, you may end up missing advantages to living in Lexington. One of these is a great environment; you don’t have to worry about smog or noise pollution, unless you’re at a fra- ternity party. However, even Lexing- ton is not immune from environmental threats. Last yearthe Maury River was threatened and by extension, so was Goshen Pass. The Outing Club last year worked on a letter-writing campaign to de- clare the Maury exceptional water so that during Spring Term, there would be someplace to go after classes. Then there is ZoIIman’s. Everyone com- plains that you get too close to nature when you party out there. I am willing in recycling it is fairly environ- mental in other ways. We use china in the D- Hall instead of plastic or paper.

I usually run out of quarters b ore I am through, so my clothes don’t usually get that clean, so my clothes don’t smell that great, so don’t get near me if you know what’s good for you. But this is not the reason I frequent the Lexington Coin Laundry. Being a writer of imminent success and also infiiedibie humility, I visit this estab- lishment for its rich mosaic of people ' striving to find electric-heat peace in a cold world of frigid strife, or some- thing like that. Also, they have the best sign I have seen in Lexington: “Large Capacity Warsher: $2.” That’s right, “vfltrsher,” not “washer.” Recently I was in the Lexington Coin Laundry with my friend Melissa when we spotted a rather large woman doing her laundry. “Jane,” still wear- ing her work uniform, had a can of Old Milwaukee in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Without warning, “Jane” walked up to us and announced we should never have foot surgery, be’- cause it never heals. She then showed us her unhealed foot. “Jane” was not wearing shoes. Right then and there Melissa and I drafted a law saying A) one may not go barefoot in a ‘ laundromat, es- pecially if they have nasty foot wounds. This law hasonly one clause. On this par- ticulartriptothe Lexington Coin Laundry Phil and I metavery nice woman named Joyce. Joyce was using 10 washing ma- chines at once. When I asked her if she liked (Joyce) if she had ever seen other pets at the laundromat, and she said that once a student had brought his pet 3- foot long boa constrictor. You have to wonder if the snake laid any little boa eggs while he was in the laundromat. Keep those shoes on! Getting back to the dog: “This is Chance’s first time here, ' because if] left him at home he would be lonely,” Joyce said. After chat- ting with Joyce. I met her friend- i n - l a u n d r y , Ellen. Ellen was working on five loads of laun- dry,butsaid she had ‘used up to 12 machines at once. Ellen of- fers Washing- ton and Lee stu- dents a laundry the Lexington tip: separate Coin Laundry colors before better than the washing. Wash-O-Matic Ellen says laundromat near she once saw a Beyond Video, « Joyce gave me the first of many anti- Wash-O-Matic epithets I heard that afternoon. “l’ve only been there once, but the machines cost more and they don’t do a good job,” Joyce said. ‘‘I’m never going back.” «~ On this particular trip to the Lexing- ton Coin Laundry Joyce was accompa- nied by her dog, Chance. I asked her W & L male wash an entire load ofunsorted clothes, and when he saw the aftermath, he took all his clothes and threw them directly into the trash. Ellen also did not have kind words for Wash-O-Matic. “They rip you off over there with small machines and bad dryers,” Ellen said. “I’ve only been once.” Both Ellen and Joyce denied ever seeing anybody taking “dryer rides” at the Lexington Coin Laundry. After I finished talking to Ellen, I noticed a man who was kind of hunched over and just staring into space with a deranged look on his face. I thought he might be a postal worker, so I went over and talked to him. “Are you Tom Hespos?” I asked. Just kidding! I really asked him: “What do you think about the Lex- ington Coin Laundry?” “It really sucks,” Gary said. Gary was NOT happy at all with the women whowere using many machines at once. He’s been using the Lexington Coin Laundry for several months now and is just about fed up with people who leave their clothes in the washers, people who hog the dryers, park in the parking lot, vote Republican, eat a lot of fiber, etc. “There ought toibe a law,” Gary said. Then he wiped his nose. When I asked Gary if he had tried going to Wash-O-Matic, he snorted. “I went there once and it, well, it smelled,” he said. I think it’s obvious that all ofthis is leading up to a rumble between the patrons of Wash-O-Matic and the Lex- ington Coin Laundry. Instead of the “Bloods” and the “Crips,” this will be a fight between the “Slow Dryers” and the “Broken Detergent Machines.” And the prize will be the title of Biggest Dirtbag Hangout in Lexington. W&L students will be invited to watch the action. At the end ofthe afternoon Phil and I left our friends at the Lexington Coin Laundry. We’ll be back there in a few weeks, as you probably will. Say hello to Chance when you’re there. TV offers good escape from work MY VIEW Brad Philipson, ’97 Sunday afternoons at W&L seem to be purgatory between the grueling classes and even more grueling wgekend parties. I, personally, refuse to leave my bed between noon and 2:30 p.m. But, in between this period of short-term hibernation and dinner time is a three hour void unaccounted for. I have developed filling these hours into an art form. Some call me a lazy couch potato, but there is more involved in my Sunday activity than that. There is’ deep mind-exhausting, existential, Zen, mioggi- istic, mental state which must be properly reached before allowing oneself to sit mindlessly in front of three hours of drivel on a small black box with a 13- inch screen. Zen thing. a substittfifi Well, most of it is drivel. Bud Light commercials make an enlightening statement on the veiled genius of our generation as we outsmart fifty—something, arrogant, menial servants who have rationalized them- selves into thinking they are in positions of power (“YES, I am!”). But I digress — let’s get back to that The first step along the path to total consciousness does not involve the Dalai Lama and a legally retarded greens keeper; it involves a comfortable seat. After carefully positioning yourself within reach of the remote, you must first find the most brainless thing on the air—‘-“CHiP’s” works best, but you can improvise Watch it for at least 10 minutes and let all thoughts of doing any work before 7 p.m. drift out of you. Next, you must learn to be the remote. Hold it out of position of the buttons. Above all, do not relinquish control. If it falls into evil hands there is no measuring what could happen: civil war could break out, lives could be lost, empires could crumble, Erik Estrada could get another TV show! . I think ljust soiled myself. Anyway, after you have bonded with the remote and are wearing clean underwear, it is time to chose the proper subject for the afternoon’s viewing. Football games usually work, but the season over, mediocre late ’80s mov- ies about high schoolers will work. The key here is lack of superficial mental strain. Let your mind withdraw into itself. While your eyes are focused on large sweaty men beating each other up for large sums ofmolney, your subconscience can travel the globe, reaching depths of introspection never before reached by anyoineoutside of a poverty-stricken monk in dis- LETTERS carded woman’s clothing mindlessly roaming the streets of Istanbul in search of pocket change and a small French poodle named Mikie. But enough about my family. When you are ‘done, you will probably not remember what hap- pened, but, if you are lucky, you will feel a sense of inner peace.

We will be selecting approximately six rising seniors and eight risingjun- ~ iors. For anyone who might not be familiar with Kathekon and what we I d our Statement of Purpose reads as fo ows. The term KATHEKON comes from the Greek phrase, “to kathekon,” which loosely translated means that we “have an obligation to serve and to be mind- ful of our duty; an obligation to do that O which is meet and proper.” It is a word that seems to represent General Lee’s sense of duty. . Founded in 1984, Kathekon is a cre- ation of the Alumni Office and the Alumni Board of Directors and has a two-fold purpose: 1) to recognize un- dergraduates and law students as alumni-in-residence and therefore fa- miliarize and involve them with the Alumni Association and its work on behalf of the university, and 2) to work as a civic leadership group on campus, using its energy and influence to affect the Washington and Lee community positively and constructively. From its inception Kathekon has been involved in numerous campus events of a public relations nature. While remaining flexible and open to special projects that may be appropri- ate forthe group to undertake, Kathekon has developed the following list of annual projects and/or events that \it sponsors of in which it participates: 1) Kathekon hosts the Freshmen Orientation Barbeque sponsored by the Alumni Association. 2) Kathekon hosts a New Faculty Cocktail Party each Fall at the Interviews and Photos By Joe Framptom TALKBACK Alumni House. 3) Kathekon sponsors the Annual Homecoming Parade. 4) Kathekon plays an integral sup- port role in Homecoming and the Five- Star Generals program. _ 5) Kathekon members write per- sonal letters of congratulations to all students admitted under the early deci- sion program. 6) Kathekon plays an integral sup- port role in the Spring Alumni Week- end. 7) Kathekon members provide ush- ers and other support for Parent’s Week- ' and end and Board of Trustees meetings. l(athekon’s Statement of Purpose gives a good general overview of what we do as a group, but we have also been looking to expand the list of annual projects and events. Kathekon posts signs and posters in an attempt to keep the speaking tradi- tion alive. We are hosting a senior class cocktail party later in March. We will be looking into helping to build the new playground at Brewbaker Field, the junior members are planning a cookout for the junior class Spring Term. We are looking for students who feel they can contribute to Kathekon, and we strongly encourage all who are interested to apply. Applications can be picked up outside of Carol Calkins’ office in the University Center, and a sign-up sheet for interview times is also located outside Carol Calkins’ of- fice. Applications must be returned to the box outside of Carol Calkins office by March 1, and interviews will be held on March 8-10. Ashby R. Hackney President of Kathekon .

With a black-directed movie night Feb. 4 and a Black History night at the Letitia Pate Evans Dining Hall Feb. 9, MSA president Ayanna Brady kicked off a month she hoped would help bring the whole community to- gether. “l’ve heard a lot from other students [at W&L] that black students on campus hold themselves separate from the rest of the student body,” Brady said. “MSA is open to everyone who wants to participate.” Activities planned for the rest of the month include the keynote speaker, attorney Patricia Russell-McCloud, who will present a lecture in Lee Chapel Feb. 22 and a Black History Month party for the children in Lexington, as well as another black movie night Feb. 25. Brady emphasized the fact that the activities were open to both the entire campus and the extended Lexington community. “The MSA goal is empowerment,” she said. “We want to empower both Lexington and the W&L community with understanding and di- versity.” The MSA will join the VMI minority asso- ciation, Promaji, for a reception supporting the military school’s first-ever organized Black History Month activity, a parade on the VMI campus. . Brady said that many W&L students who are not in MSA were worried about whether or not they were welcome at Black History Month activities. “We want [everyone] to get involved,” Brady said. “MSA is open to everyone who wants to participate. We would love to have the support and help of anyone who wants to participate.” “V The Ring-tum Phi, February 11, 1994 Joint judicial board . lies dormant this year By -HILLARY OLSON Phi Staff Writer The Judicial Board set up last academic year by Student Conduct Committee President Rajeev K. “Reggie” Aggarwal to investigate incidents between Virginia Military Institute cadets and Washington and Lee students has been surprisingly inactive. The organization has conducted no joint investigations this year, as no student has turned in any requests, said Aggarwal. Aggarwal said he instituted the system at the beginning of last year when three fights broke out between cadets and W&L students in a short period of time. Aggarwal noticed that the Student Conduct Committee, when hearing its cases, consis- tently heard only one side of the story. It was hard to reach a fair decision with only one viewpoint. 6 Therefore, he suggested to the VMI J udical Board that they work together on cases involv- ing both schools. The ad-hoc joint Judicial Board would only be in session when called upon, said Aggarwal. _ W&L investigators could question VMI cadets and vice—versa about the specific incident; “The whole idea was just to set up a way to hear both sides of the story,” Aggarwal said. Aggarwal said the incident last fall concern- ing cadets and students at the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house “was not even brought to my attention until a couple days later.” The case went directly to Colonel Michael Bissell, commandant of cadets, and was not handled by cadets. The joint committee was not notified as a result, Aggarwal said. “The board could_still be used in the future if incidents are called to our attention,” he said. Slander suit continues Ia» WHEELER, from page 1 ment; Vicky Saunders, administrative sec- retary of career development and place- ment; Anne Shroer-Lamont, associate dean of students; and President John Wil- son have all been sent subpoenas. These officials were required to sub- to FIJI, from page 1 Bishop. “We talked to each other about our findings and wrote separate appeals.” Griffin was away on business and could not be contacted before press time. Griffin is a Delta Tau Delta alumni and graduated from W&L with Bishop in 1968. FIJI President Ralph “Moke” Wolfe would not comment on the contents of either appeal. “We don’t want to do anything that will sway President Wilson one way or the other,” Wolfe said. “The way he handles it is up to his discretion.” Wolfe said he does not know how long Wilson will take to return FIJI ’s appeal to SAC. He will review FlJI’s appeal when he returns from Florida where he is working on the capital ' campaign. Wilson took over a month to return Delta Tau Delta’s appeal of its five-year suspension in 1992 to SAC. FIJI pledges Neil Kelleter and Griffin said although they could pledge elsewhere, they have no intention of doing so. They also said they think FIJI was treated unfairly by SAC. “There’s no question that the facts of the case were manipulated, there was false infor- Photo By Betsy Green, The Ring-tum Phi FIJI may not be able to have any fraternity events in their house until 1995. FIJI makes two appeals mation involved,” Griffin said. “One incident, by the way, the University has defined hazing, can be construed as hazing but there was never any physical danger or where‘ we could harm ourselves physically or emotionally or mess up our grades.” Kelleter said he was not hazed by FIJI. “I feel as a person, a competent adult college student, I have the capacity to determine whether I did something against my will,” Kelleter said. “Everyone of us had the same choice. I can’t say I was forced because I chose to do it.” “Ifthe University is telling me that I wasn’t competent enough to make decisions for my- self, then I can’t see how they can want me in this University.” Both freshmen said they thought the SAC punishment could only hurt the freshmen. “Ifthis system is supposed to protect us then why are they destroying us?” asked Kelleter. “We’re not going to be a fraternity until our junior year ifthis thing sticks. We can’t inititate until junior year. That’s not what we set out for.” Griffin said his father wrote the appeal be- cause he felt the same way. “He wrote on behalf of the pledges because we were being taken advantage of and no one listened to what we had to say,” he said. mit documents by Jan. 28.

He said they are get- ting a jump on renovations they originally planned to start af- ter graduation. He said the stairwell B&G is currently painting will be the last before renovations. Hare said the renovations Photo By Betsy Green, The Ring-tum Phi are part of a three year plan to - have a wing kept off-line each year for refurbishment. “We wanted to concentrate on a specific area and get up to our standards thatwe felt were acceptable,” he said. He said there was pressure to finish in time for special programs that are held from the mid-June to the first of August. He said there was also pressure because some students arrive early to train for sports. Hare said representatives fromthe special programs agreed to scale down the num- ber of participants. He said Building and Grounds would work with the special pro- grams’ schedules. Hare said the renovations are preventive measures to in- sure the safety of the building. He said they go through each hallway and suite to thej§ex- amine the carpets, plumbing, and the heating/cooling sys—. tems of each room. “It gives us time to check out the mechanical aspects of that room,” he said. He said the renovafions cover 25 percent to 3:’ percent more square footage and will be completed in the beginning of the school year.
