EC approves $295,545 budget

By SARAH GILBERT
Phi Executive Editor

At 3:30 a.m. this morning, the Executive
Committee voted upon the complete version of
their $295,545.44 budget.

After 39 student organizations requested
funds totaling $372,451.78, the EC was forced
to cut roughly $80,000 from organizations as
diverse as the Preston Society and Men’s Panel.

After preliminary deliberation, the EC was
able to reduce the budget to $298,879.24, and

‘ continued to reduce the budget further, but will

not release the pared-down version until this
afternoon. The committee will vote again Sept.
26 after student groups have had a chance to
view the proposed budget.

The most bitter debate in the EC office last
night concerned the funds requested by the
Student Bar Association.

Law students contribute the same activities
fees that undergraduate students do, but the

turn allocates funds to law

Undergraduate and law
members of the EC dif-
fered greatly in their view-
point on the SBA, and the
$45,000 requested was
hotly debated.

Many undergraduates
felt that they were “subsi—
dizing” the law students’
social opportunities and a
question was made of
whether the law students
should get a figure equal to
their contribution in stu—
dent activities fees.

After subtracting $25
per student for the Student
Pavilion, a fixed expense
that was contracted by the
1984 EC, the law students
contribute $40,700.

As this number was

tion keeps to overcome the
problem of a non—coincid-
ing fiscal year (the law

three weeks before the un-
dergraduates), the EC de-
cided to go with that fig-
ure.

Other large allocations
included the Student Ac-
tivities Board, which
landed $70,000 after pre-
liminary deliberations. The
EC members were pleased
with the ideas and enthusi-
asm of this year’s SAB
leaders.

secretary William Toles, a

publicist, sophomore Hollis
Leddy.

“There is a lot of energy
pumping through the SAB
right now,” she said.

The SAB plans to have
new activities to appeal to
every student, such as a jazz
band and comedians.

The Calyx, which lost
$12,000 last year, was given
$26,000, about $8,000 more
than last year, with precau-
tionary advice on raising
more funds this coming
year.

ing its budget slashed by

Busy Rush schedule
entering final week

By MICHAEL HEWLEIT
Phi Staff Writer

All but 10 freshmen males are busy investigat-
ing fraternity houses in this year’s newly organized
Rush.

Senior IFC president Kevin Batteh said Rush is
going very well. He said the Rush schedule was
rearranged this year. Last year freshmen had open
contact where the fraternities could do whatever
they wanted with the freshmen such as hiking in the
country or going to ski resorts. The freshmen then
had open houses where they visited all the fraterni-
ties for thirty minutes each. After that, they turned
in preference cards and formal rush began.

This year, freshmen males visit all the houses
first. Then they have open contact before formal
Rush starts. Batteh said the open house dates were
pushed to the weekends so freshmen could concen-
trate on their academic work.

Senior IFC vice-president Christopher
Lamberson said the administration wanted Rush to
be shorter this year to prevent freshmen from being
distracted from their work.

Lamberson said last year the open houses didn’t
serve their purpose.

“Open houses are meant to show freshmen all
the 14 houses,” said Lamberson.

Lamberson said that becauseopen houses were
two weeks later last year, freshmen already had
some preferences before they had seen all the
houses.

IFC treasurer senior Brian King said IFC mem-
bers have been monitoring the Rush process to
make sure the parties are dry (i.e. no alcohol.) He
said this rule is new in being fully enforced this
year. He said if something were to happen to the

freshmen, the whole fraternity system could be
held liable.

He said the members also make sure that at least
three houses are present at any fraternity party
during open contact.

. Kingsaid the Rush cou_nselor§,_ who take the

freshmen to the open houses, also make sure there
are no Rush violations. The Rush counselor system
was implemented last year.

Still some of the freshmen males find Rush to be
a little overwhelming.

“After about the 13th open house, it gets a little
boring,” said freshmen John Harper.

Freshmen Robert Hughes had similar feelings,
but he said he enjoyed it nonetheless.

“It’s overwhelming going to five houses at
once,” said Hughes. ‘‘I knew it would be a way to
meet some people. I just wanted to check out things
and see what was going on.”

Harper said he is rushing because he sees spe-
cial benefits in joining a fraternity.

“I think they constitute the majority of your
social life, “ he said. “You also get lifelong friends.
When you graduate, you get a network through
other chapters if you’re looking for a job.”

However, some freshmen males decided not to

rush. Freshmen Jason Sorens said he had some,

problems with the fraternity system.

“I feel it’s kind of a way to buy friends,” he said.
“I prefer to pick and choose my own friends.”

He also said he considered the financial costs of
joining a fraternity and decided it wasn’t for him.

“I don’t think I’m losing out,” he said. “Every
time they had Rush, I was out with my friends.”

Freshmen Michael Bailey said he decided not to
Rush because of time constraints with basketball.

“I don’t think it’s [Rush] the thing for me,” he
said.

Sullivan brings new
insight to law school

. By SARAH GILBERT
Phi Executive Editor

“The challenging thing in le-
gal education is, how should law-
yers be trained? and what is the
function of law school?”

Barry Sullivan has recently
joined the Washington and Lee
law faculty, as dean of the law
school, with a commitment to
“the continuum of legal educa-
tion.”

“We ask what are the respec-
tive responsibilities of the legal
profession and the law school,
and where do you strike the bal-
ance,” Sullivan said in an inter-
view with the Phi. “We must
realize that it is all a continuum,
what I call the continuum of legal
education, and we are only a part
of the continuum.”

A very successful lawyer and
an experienced educator himself,
Sullivan is in a great position to
help strike that balance at Wash-

ington and Lee Law. Sullivan
comes from his position as a part-
ner at Jenner & Block in Chi-
cago, where he worked for 13
years after his stint as assistant to
the solicitor general of the United
States with the Department of
Justice.

He graduated cum Iaude with
honors from Middlebury College
in 1970 and received his JD.
from the University of Chicago
in 1974, where he was associate
editor of the University of Chi-
cago Law Review and National
Honor Scholar.

Sullivan’s W&L connection
come from his clerkshipwith U.S.
Circuit Judge for the U.S. Court
of Appeals, John Minor Wisdom
’25. Wisdom recommended
Sullivan to the search committee
which later decided to offer
Sullivan the deanship.

Sullivan has reacted very posi-
tively to Washington and Lee
and says that he appreciates the
emphasis of the faculty.

“We have a terrific faculty
committed to teaching and inter-
ested in research, without being
inordinately interested in one or
the other,” he said. “Many of our
peers in terms of ranking exalt
research over teaching; we don’t
do that.”

He was also very interested in
the honor system at Washington
and Lee.

“The honor system is really a
part of what the university is about
and what the law school is about,”
said Sullivan. “When you enroll
in the law school, you are mak-
ing a commitment to be a person
of honor for the rest of your life.”

Sullivan is very committed to
instilling the students of the law
school with a sense of honor.

“The legal education is not
just about acquiring a certain
body of knowledge,” he said. “A
profession dedicated to the pub-
lic good requires its practitioners
to be dedicated to honor.”

He gave the first-year law stu-

dents a serious talk about honor
on Aug. 19.

“By saying that you are ready
to study law —— and to undertake
the responsibilities placed on law-
yers in this society — your are
representing that you are pre-
pared to live, not just three years,
but a lifetime of honor,” he told
the as embled students.

“['lfhe license to practice law]
represents an extraordinary privi-
lege. It is a great privilege to
stand before a court and say ‘ May
it please the Court. I appear to-
day on behalf of the Board of
Trustees of Washington and Lee
University, or the Public Service
Commission of West Virginia,
or the Judges of the State of Illi-
nois, or the most impecunious,
wretched and despised person
who has exhausted all hischances
in life except for you.’

New law dean brings rich experiences

done, between him and the death penalty, for a crime
he may not have committed. Surely, Justice Holmes
was right when he said that one can live greatly in the
law.”

Sullivan’s experience in the legal world has been
largely appellate, consisting of taking cases which
had already been decided in trial courts on to appeals
courts, at the district, state and federal level.

The cases he argued and for which he wrote briefs
were as varied as civil rights and a series of cases on
railroad re—organization.

The railroad reorganization cases occupied much
of his time, and c0nc'ern'e'd so many unusual points of
law that they were often brought to appeals courts.

“It got to the point that most of the cases cited by
both sides in these issues were precedents which I had
argued or written briefs for,” said Sullivan.

For the future, Sullivan has no changes or im-
provements planned for the law school, but he does
plan to teach a spring semester course on Supreme
Court practice, in which students will practice argu-
ing and writing opinions on cases that will be coming
up before the Supreme Court this year.

He also plans to teach an undergraduate course,
perhaps in the 1996 spring term, as a way of bringing
his experience to the other side of the bridge.

Right now, however, he is content to remain
wholly in his role as dean.

_ “l’m glad that l’m not [teaching],” he said. “I’m
finding the administrative job enough to fill my
plate.” »

“They will be more interactive and
hopefully allow students to know them-
selves better.”

At resume workshops, students will
break into groups and critique sample
resumes, a change from the usual lec-
ture format of the workshops.

The first resume workshop will be
September 19 from 4 to 5 PM, and the
first interviewing workshop will be the
21st, also from 4 to 5 PM. Both are in
room 109 of the University Center.

Future plans for the CDPO include
“an invigorated outreach to the fac-
ulty,” said Lewis. “We want to support
them in their departments and ask them
for their support” with opportunities
for students.

The CDPO tentatively plans to add
their services to the Liberty network.

“We’re hoping to create a database
of internship opportunities that stu-
dents can access without leaving their
dorm rooms,” said Blackburn. _

The staff emphasized that the office
is for students of all grades, not just
seniors.

“No matter what position they’re
in, students need to make the most of
their resources,” said Lewis.

“We’re serving as the turning point
where students are moving from jeans
and Tevas to a more professional im-
age,” said Lorig.

So far, the staff has received posi-
tive feedback from students and fac-
ulty on the new office.

“We hope it will be a place that
students feel comfortable coming to,
someplace with an inviting feeling,”
said Lorig. “We’re here to help.”

By ETHAN KRUPP
Phi News Editor

The old Italian game of Bocci has
returned to Lexington for another year.

Washington and Lee Bocci Ball
Commissioner David L. Howison offi-
ciated the second round of the 1993-94
Bocci Ball Tournament on Thursday.
Four teams competed for the right to
advance to the third round of the tour-
nament. The Dorm Counselors placed
first, followed by The Ring-tum Phi.
The International House came in third,
and T heSpectator, represented only by
senior Allen Gillespie, finished
dead last.

Howison declined to comment on
who would advance to the next round.

For those unfamiliar with bocci, it is
played with one small ball, the palina,
and eight larger bocci balls. The goal
is to place as many balls as possible
closer to the palina than the other team.
The game does require some skill to
get the bocci balls near the palina,
although j unior Paul Howe of the Dorm
Counselors felt that luck was also a
factor in the game.

It is unclear what other teams re-
main in the running because Howison
has refused to comment on the status
of any teams.

Gillespie tried hard, coming close to a positive score, during the round of double point
play, his balls rolled outside the playing area, causing him to get eight negative points.

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

The DIP/DUI question...

One undeniable fact at Washington and Lee University
is that our bright and beautiful students occasionally
choose to let loose from the strictures of their studies,
have a few beers, and generally make fools of themselves
in the name of fun and relaxation.

As many of these students are of age and legally
capable of doing whatever they deem necessary with
alcohol to relieve all that pent-up energy, we at the Phi do
not have a huge problem with this.

The administration and even the police have verbally
supported our rights to occasionally get, shall we say,
wasted.

Unfortunately, the most popular spots to imbibe in
Lexington are not the same as the spots most students
choose to sleep.

In other words, after one becomes under the influence,
one must finds one’s way home.

We like to be optimistic, but no one can believe that, for
every drunk person in Lexington during a given night,
there is a willing and available and sober and car-
possessing designated driver.

Often, there is no one who even fits one or two of the
necessary characteristics for conveying an intoxicated
person home.

So, our mythical, 21-year-old, model student decides
to walk home.

After all, this is a small town. Better to risk a few
stumbles along the way then to get behind the wheel of
two tons of unpredictable steel. Right?

Wrong. Lexington’s finest are on the first street comer
past the Palms, and bring our model student back to what
we like to call the slammer to spend the night.

Because he or she decided not to risk endangering
other people’s lives and the possibility of a “driving
under the influence” arrest, the student is slapped with a
“drunk in public.”

What purpose does this charge serve but to punish

people for choosing not to drink and drive?

If someone is belligerent or passed out in the middle of

Nelson Street, the police would be justified in taking him
or her in. But in the case described above, the usual case,
there is no justification.

How can we avoid the situation? It is not against the

law to become inebriated.

Lexington police, however, have made it effectively

against the law to become inebriated anywhere outside
the privacy of one’s own home.

Quote of the Week:

“The Spectator. Conservative in editorial philosophy,

liberal in bocce (sic).”

---His Excellency, David Howison, Bocci Com-
missioner and World is Leader in Bocci Wisdom, after
Spectator athlete Allen Gillespie sent his fourth out-
of-bounds ball rolling down the Collonade for triple
negative points.

TRA DI TION , , .

U.S. has vested interest in Haiti

At a seminar I attended this summer the question
of Haiti came up; one of the professors suggested that
the United States could and should just ignore Haiti.

The logic behind his state-
ment is obvious. Haiti has

neither nuclear weapons
nor a sophisticated army;
it provides no imports we
cannot get elsewhere, and
Haitian-Americans’ politi-
cal force is non-existent.

 

“political” refugees the U.S. automatically let in until
last month, one will find that many Haitians qualify
under the heading of “political” refugees than many
of the Cubans currently at
Guantanamo. This is not to say
that Castro has not persecuted
people for political reasons;
however, as far as I know,
Castro has not advocated wan-
ton torture and murder of inno-
cent people to the extent the

Despite my great reluctance to advocate military
action of any kind, anywhere, I believe invasion is
the only option. I do think it should be an invasion
followed by an almost immediate withdrawal to
avoid charges of American imperialism. The mili-
tary dictatorship should be removed from the island
but only under guidance of the United Nations. If
one looks at the crimes that have been committed
since Aristide’s removal from office, I think Cedras
and other top officials could justiflably be charged
with crimes against humanity. Under no circum-
stances should we repeat the mistake we made with
Noriega, arresting them under U.S. laws to be tried

Why isthere evenathought military dictatorship of Raoul
of invasion? Cedras has.

The answerto that ques- So why don’t we simply let in U.S. courts.
tion is that we do have a the embargo drivethe dictator-

stake in the future of Haiti. Currently, the U.S. gov-
emment is paying to keep Haitians in detention cen-
ters in Guantanamo. Whether we like it or not, our
money is irrevocably tied up in the future of Haiti.
There is also a more personal side to this. Many
families have been separated by the ban on immigra-
tion from Haiti. These are families who may have
been in the U.S. for years. who have contributed in a
positive way to American society. During my senior
year of high school, a girl, who was still a Haitian
citizen, was called back to Haiti to visit a sick relative.
Despite the fact that she and her family had lived in
Miami for several years, she was not allowed to return
to the U.S. In this time of emphasis on the family, it is
wrong that we are breaking apart families because of
when and where they are emigrating from.

We can also no longer hide behind the excuse that
the Haitian emigration is the result of purely eco-
nomic problems and not political. Admittedly, Haiti’s
economy leaves a lot to be desired; however, I think
if you look at the circumstances of many of the Cuban

refugees, their first com-
plaint about Cuba is the
economy. The majority
of United Nations mem-
bers have recognized the
futility of the Cuban em-
bargo and want the U.S.
to open up trade with
Cuba. Most moderate
Cubans feel the same
way; unfortunately their
voices are drowned out
by the radical exile com-
munity in Miami. If we
simply keep the embargo

from Haiti in the future?

ship out? A few decades ago we instituted a embargo
against Cuba — Castro is still in power. Now, if you
listen to the complaints of the majority of Cuban

on Haiti in place, won’t we be laying the foundation
for an eventual exodus based on economic reasons

The second goal of such an invasion should be to
set up free and open elections. I do not think
Aristide should automatically be put back into
office. It has been approximately four years since

cue--—

I f we simply keep the embargo
on Haiti in place, won’t we be
laying the foundation for an even-
tual exodus based on economic
reasons from Haiti in the future?

Aristide was elected,
almost time for a new
election. If the Haitian
people want Aristide
back in offlce they will
vote for him. At that
point, once the new
president is in office,
there is no reason for
an American military
personnel to be in Haiti
except if they are on
vacation.

Perhaps then we can
return the Haitians we

are holding at Guantanamo to Haiti. We can use the
money to help Florida take care of all the immi-

grants that were let in prior to the August blockade.

U.S. does not need to invade Haiti

Al Gore has become the latest mem-
ber of the Clinton Administration to
restate that “one way or another,” that
is, by force of arms if required, the
military regime in Haiti will be re-

pansion of democracy has always been
an important goal of U.S. foreign policy,
it has never been our sole objective. It
is simple-minded to assume that we are
preparing to invade Haiti simply be-

credibility not trolled by a

ministration but also of the United
States has been staked on the success
or failure of a third-rate military junta
now governing one of the world’s most
obscure nations.

Given this bluster on the pan of
Clinton and his subordinates, we can
take it virtually for granted that an
invasion will occur if the military
regime is not dissolved within the com-
ing months. Basic questions still re-
main, however, even if the course of
U.S. policy is now set: are we right to
place such a high priority on the resto-
ration of democracy in Haiti? And,
even if this is a worthwhile goal, is
Father Aristide the right man for the
job?

We might answer the first question
by making it clear that, while the ex-

elite. Why do we not invade these na-
tions as well? The answer is, of course,
because doing so would be hard.
Clinton may indeed be devoted to de-
mocracy for its own sake, but it is no
coincidence that he has chosen one of
the weakest countries in the world upon
which to demonstrate his zeal. We
should recall that while U.S. troops
stand ready to invade Haiti in order to
restore democracy there, we are also
negotiating amicably with the govem-
ments of Cuba and North Korea.
Also, China’s status as a “Most Fa-
vored Nation” trading partner was re-
cently renewed — a curious commen-
tary on our embargo policy against the
Haitian generals. The lesson here is
that Clinton is only a starry-eyed, gung-
ho partisan of democracy when it suits

him. Whether or not forcibly fostering
democracy is, in the final analysis,
worth the sacrifice of American lives is
something I leave to the reader to de-
termine on his own.

And what of the doubts about Fa-
ther Aristide? First it needs to be said
that Aristide’s followers are not very
sophisticated or forgiving people: many
of them can be expected to demand
their pound of flesh should their leader
ever regain power. Aristide ’s infamous

conclusive reasons to believe that a
U.S. invasion could ever put an end to
rightist assassinations (we can’t even
put an end to murders in our own capi-
tol, let alone anyone else’s). Further-
more, the killing set off by a return of
Aristide to power could be just as un-
palatable.

We have yet to learn whether a U.S.
invasion of Haiti could ever achieve its
objective of a stable, democratic gov-
ernment there. It may be instructive to

OPINION

Riding the job circuit to Moline

GREEN LAND
Betsy Green

A belated hello and welcome to my
column. I’m sure all of you are fasci-
nated by every aspect of my glamour-
ous life, so I’ve decided to share with
you a dark, moldy chapter of my life:
my summer. Consider it the memoirs
of a Working Woman.

When I was forced to leave Lexing-
ton, The City That Never Sleeps, for
Moline, Illinois, City of A Thousand
Forbidden Delights, I quickly found
myself jobless and broke. My brother
had just obtained a wonderful temp
job. The Boy was paid eight dollars an
hour to sit at the airport holding a sign
that said “John Deere” on it. (It may
interest you to know that in addition to
being the City of A Thousand Forbid-
den Delights, Moline is also the Farm
Implement Capital of the World. I kid
you not.) Inspired by The Boy’s good
fortune, I trekked over to the temp
agency to find a job to supplement my
exciting career in the dynamic world of
French fashion. In other words, my job
as a sales associe at Express was not
paying me enough. I was amazed at
how quickly the agency found a job for
me. In retrospect, this should not have
suprised me, considering that the only
qualification needed was to own a pair
of steel-toed boots. Armed with my
steel-toed boots and determination, I
began my summeras a working woman
at a factory called Export Packaging.
What was I thinking?

My day began at four in the mom-
ing. This is not a good thing for some-
one who has trouble going to an 8 a.m.
class (Sorry, Professor Hall). I wore
really old jeans, a W&L shirt to remind
me of better times, and a hideous pair
of brown safety glasses. My duties
were not too demanding. In essence,
the monolith that is Export Packaging
is a division of Caterpillar. I took small
tractor parts like bolts, screws, hoses,
and big heavy yellow thingies out of
boxes, counted them, divided them by
destination, and put them in other boxes.
A dolphin could have been trained to
do this. I was paid five dollars an hour.
The perks included my very own marker

and stapler with little tags on them that
said “Elizabeth G.”

You can imagine the skills I picked
up on this job. I learned that bolts are
really heavy and greasy. I can now
operate a hand jack. I know how to use
a time card. Most importantly, I can
waste time like a champ. Each task
required about two seconds worth of
paperwork. My precison stretched that
time out to about four minutes. If I
needed to get new boxes, I carefully
studied each box before taking it back
to my work table. I also spent a lot of
time staring blankly into space.

My job was not a pleasant one. It
was tedious, and to use an industry
term, “icky.” These
problems were com-
pounded by my su-
pervisor, Margie.
Margie is about thirty
years old and has
worked at Export
Packagingforfartoo
much of her sad life.

tered an environment in which I take
no pride in my work and consequently
make the occassional error.” I thought
better of it and shrugged. I was prob-
ably more upset by Margie than I should
have been. I was complaining about
how Margie thought I was stupid when
my co-worker Phil, who wore signifi-
cantly more jewelry than I did to
accesorize his Manson shirt, said,
“Dude, if your supervisorthinks you’re
dumb, then go with it, man.” A good
point. The next time I accidentally sent
5,000 Heavy Concrete Things to
Melbourne instead of Morton, Illinois,
I said, “Oops. Messed up again. What
can you do?” Margie fumed, but seemed
to accept this
answer as the
truth.

E x p o r t

really not the

rather hard to respect someone who
comes to work wearing shirts that say,
“Don’t [Unprintable] Talk to Me. I’m
Stressed,” and “Midwest Regional
Armwrestling Championships: Con-
tender.”

Margie alsoseemed to find me mind-
numbingly stupid if I ever missed any
of the intricacies of tractor parts. One
day she came and screamed about a
quarter of an inch away from my face,
“What the [obscenity] are you think-
ing, you [naughty word]? You really
[deleted] [deleted] this time! Why did
you [fornicating] get this wrong?” I
considered telling her the truth, some-
thing like, “Well, Margie, I guess the
reason I made a mistake was that your
utter lack of leadership skills has fos-

LETTERS

about drugs,
gin, and serial killers. The most fright-
ening of all was a weird guy whose job
it was to take out the trash all day long.
I was cheerfully counting buttons one
day when a strange guy came up to me.
I had never seen him before. He said,
“Betsy?”

“Yeah?” I answered blearily.

“My name’s Paul.”

I waited to see what Paul had come
to talk to me about, and found that that
was it. Furtherpondering the situation,
I found it weird that he knew my name.
Margie, who had worked with me ev-
ery day, did not know my name. Baffled
by how I could be both Betsy and
Elizabeth, she gave up. I was pretty
sure that Paul also knew my social
security number and what my score on

the math section of the SAT’s was.
Later in the day, Paul came up to me
again.

“Betsy?”

“What?” I asked. Bear in mind that
all I have ever said to Paul was “Yeah?”
and “What?” Apparently I said it well,
because he then asked me out.
“Ummm... I can’t. I’m, ummm,
Amish,” I answered. Paul ran away in
fear and never spoke to me again. What
could I do? His career was emptying
trash at Export Packaging, and his bi-
ceps were about as big around as my
wrists. Come to think of it, Paul is a lot
like Richard Weaver, only with a job.

In a way, I learned a great deal about
labor-management relations from my
work. The offices of the managers were
air-conditioned, but the places where
all of us toiled, lifting heavy objects,
were not. Every once in a while, the
management attempted to appease us
with popsicles. I tried to rally my fel-
low workers together and to open their
eyes to the oppression in front of them.
“Can’t you see?” I screamed, “They’re
just trying to keep us happy so they
don’t have to invest any real money in
our safety! They’re just trying to...
Hey, they have green ones!”

I’m sure all of you are wondering
how I tore myself away from this won-
derful job to go back to W&L. It wasn’t
easy, but one day I snapped. It was a hot
day. I was tired and had not had time to
eat my nourishing meal of a whole lot
of coffee before work. I was not in a
good mood.

Margie came over to me and said,
“You’ve been [inappropriate for a pub-
lication] sitting down too [not up toPhi
standards of journalistic integrity] much
on this job. I don’t want you to sit down
for the rest of the time you work here,
including on your breaks.” I was, to put
it mildly, enraged. I couldn’t sit down?
What was she going to do, follow me
into the bathroom to make sure I was
standing? I waited until the whistle
blew for my first break, returned my
coveted stapler and marker, wrote
“Herein Lie The Seeds Of Revolution”
on my work table, punched out, and
left without a word to anyone. I was
free.

The memoirs of a working woman.
They’re not pretty, but they’re true.

  Manning thanks freshman orientation aides

To the editor:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank
publicly the entire W&L community for providing
such an enthusiastic and supportive welcome to the
Class of 1998 during the freshmen orientation pro-

gram.

Of particular importance was the work of the
Freshmen Orientation Committee, and its leadership,
Sue Krawchuk, and the Dormitory Counselors, all of
who gave unflaggingly of themselves. Planning and
organizing orientation activities and staffing virtually
every orientation event — from Mandatory Fun 101
to airport shuttles — made for a very smooth opening

week.

Thanks also go to: Mr. Bill Elswick, Mr. Randolph

Hare, Mr. Bernard Butler, and their staff who saw to
it that all of the dormitories and other facilities were
in immaculate condition for check-in day; Mr. Jerry
Darrell and Mr. John Taffe and their staff who fur-
nished the culinary touches for several meetings and
special occasions; Jim Farrar, Rob Mish, Chris Main,
Kathekon, Southern Comfort, JubiLee, General Ad-
mission and Gordon Spice for the Alumni Associa-

tion BBQ.

Special kudos to Sue Krawchuk for her extraordi-
nary work with virtually every aspect of orientation;
Tina Hand for her work with the Freshmen Record;
Ms. Joan Neel and the APO Service Fraternity for
excellent leadership of the community service activ-
ity; Professor Kirk Follo, Megan Femstrum and Peter

Weissman and the Outing Club for organizing the
overnight hike; Dean John Elrod for his thoughtful
reflections on academic life at W&L and Professor
Taylor Sanders for his insights into the history and
traditions of W&L; Kevin Webb, Professor Lamar
Cecil and the Executive Committee for a meaning-
ful orientation to the Honor System.

Others too numerous to mention also contrib-

uted to the freshmen orientation program, and this

general note must suffice as a thank you. I am
pleased that the Class of 1998 was the beneficiary
of such a community effort!

Security director warns
of new Virginia laws

Dear Students:

While you were gone over the sum-
mer holiday the laws of Virginia
changed regarding drinking and driv-
ing in this state. There are several sub-
stantial changes that have toughened
the DUI statutes. You need to know
these changes:

1. The Blood Alcohol Content level
has been reduced to 0.08%. You are
legally considered to be driving under

the influence if your BAC is 0.08% or, ~
higher. If your driving in1_paired,_-=

(accident, moving violation, etc.), you
could be convicted of DUI if your BAC
is lower than 0.08%.

2. If you are under 21 years of age,
driving with a BAC of 0.02% but less
than 0.08%, (this could be as little as
1 1/2 to 2 beers), is punishable by a fine
of up to $500 and a six months driver’s
license suspension. This is a ZERO
TOLERANCE statute.

3. If your license has been sus-
pended for an alcohol related offense
and you are found driving, the vehicle
you are driving will be impounded
immediately for 30 days. The court can

impound the vehicle for an additional
90 days upon conviction.

4. As of January 1, 1995, your
driver’s license will be automatically

Vrevoked for _7 days if you are found

driving with a BAC of 0:08%, or if you
refuse to submit to a breath test.

5. Also beginning in January, you
will no longer have the option of re-
questing a blood test instead of a breath
test for an alcohol offense.

It’s pretty easy to see that Virginia

-has become very serious about drink--,,._

ing and driving. Every year some of
our students are arrested for DUI and
those students have not found that to be
a very pleasant experience. With these
changes in the law, it will be much
easier for you to be in violation, if you
choose to use alcohol. The choice is up
to you, but the penalties are severe.

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE
HAVEADESIGNATED DRIVER

Sincerely,
Michael L. Young
Director of Security

Emory and Henry spoils Generals opener.

By STEPHEN WILLIARD
Phi Sports Editor

Washington and Lee was hoping for
a different story line from that of last
year. Emory and Henry once again
played the wicked witch as the Wasps
again spoiled the season opener for the
Generals.

A While game was a rough one for the
Generals offense — W&L turned the
ball over six times—the defense showed
signs of living up to its preseason prom-
ise.

The running game was never able to
quite get off the ground as W&L’s lead-
ing rusher, J .P. Josephson accumulated
only 39 yards. The Generals are still
looking to fill the shoes of Tommy Ma-
son and Wilson Moore in the backfield.

Sophomore fullback Aaron
Wilkinson left the game early with a
sprained ankle as well.

The return of wide-out William Propst
threw a positve light on the afternoon.
Propst caught six passes for 61 yards in
the contest.

“I thought they played with a lot of

79

enthusiasm, commented head coach
Gary Fallon.

The defense will be relied on to pro-
vide the spark this season based on the
number of returning starters.

“We went into the season thinking
on paper that was our strong point,” said
Fallon.

Fallon also said that the team will try
to throw the ball more often to take some
of the pressure off the mnning game.

According to Fallon, the team will
try to take the season one game at a time.

“Our biggest goal right now is to beat
the next opponent,” said Fallon.

Fallon expects the team to be greatly
improved from last season.

“We’ve got more seniors and juniors
dominating the starting roles,” stated
the veteran coach.

Despite the loss, Fallon remained
optimistic about the season.

“I think it’s going to be a real good
year for us, regardless of how the wins
and losses come out,” remarked Fallon.

The Generals have the week off be-
fore facing Centre College on the 24th.
W&L will be looking to avenge last
season’s 21-15 loss to Centre.

W&L Hall of Fame honors new inductees

BY KEITH GRANT
Phi Staff Writer

Washington & Lee could be
called a university of names.
Buildings, fields, dormitories,
and plazas all across campus
bearthe namesoffigures promi-
nent in the school’s history.

Most of these names, if not
the people, themselves, are
known well to members of the
university. It is understandable,
though, that some of these me-
morials get overlooked, particu-
larly when located deep inside
the Warner Center, like the A.
E. Mathis Wrestling Room.

But Archie Mathis has
moved up in the world. The late
W&L wrestling coaching leg-
end was one of the four 1994
inductees into the Washington
& Lee Athletic Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame, estab-
lished in 1987, increased its
membership to 32 with the in-

duction of Mathis, Brian Bell’49,
Skeet Chadwick’74, and Pat Den-
nis’78 at last Friday night’s cer-
emony in the Evans Dining Hall.

Mathis coached the W&L
wrestling program to national
prominence upon taking over the
four-year old program in 1925.

After accumulatinga 17-year
coaching mark of 80-21 -3,
Mathis was killed while serving
the country in World War II. Six
of his former wrestlers also gave
their lives in the war.

A man whose career included
nine unbeaten seasons and four
Southern Conference champion-
ships was probably best described
in a letter to the W&L Athletic
Hallof Fame Committeethat was
read at the induction ceremony
by Professor of English, George
Ray.

The letter was written this
passed summer by Rosa Fletcher
Crocker, the daughter W&L
legend,Forrest Fletcher.

Crocker wrote of a circus that

once came to Lexington during
her childhood. The ringmaster
was trying feverishly to get a
challenger to go one-on-one with
his “Wild Man.”

“Up got a man who made his
way_down the bleachers to the
center of the ring, taking off his
coat and tie as he went,” the letter
said.

“I well remember a great
cheer which went up when that
audience saw who had gone
down; and although I was not
wearing a timekeeper’s watch, it
could not have been more than
half a minute before the Wild
Man was tightly pinned to the
floor, by Archie Mathis.”

Mathis’ final team at W&L,
the 1941-42 squad, finished a
fittingly perfect 6-0.

Bell was a football and base-
ball standout for the Generals
and had the privilege of playing
for another of W&L’s Hall of
Fame coaches, Richard “Cap’n
Dick” Smith.

W&L water polo set out on their quest to regain the EWPA title with a 2-2
split at the W&L Invitational against Richmond and Queens College. The

Generals defeated the 16th ranked Richmond team in the final game.

 

Water Polo splits in tourney

BY STEPHEN WILLIARD
Phi Sports Editor

Expectations are always high
when you are the defending
champion in your sport.

The Washington and Lee wa-
ter polo team was confronting
the challenge of a return to domi-
nance this past weekend in the
W&L Invitational.

The Generals opened the tour-
namentwithacome-from-behind
11-10 win versus Queens Col-
lege.

In the second game, the Gen-
erals fell to Richmond in over-
time 16-14. The third game saw
a fatigued squad lose 19-7 to
Queens.

16th ranked Richmond did not
long enjoy their victory, as the
Generals rebounded to defeat the
Spiders 10-8 in the final game of
the weekend.

Head Coach Paige Remillard
was pleased with the overall per-
formance of the weekend.

“We played three games on
Saturday and the fatigue and drain
certainly reared its ugly head,”
remarked the coach.

Stars for the Generals included
senior Reuben Munger and jun-
ior Frank Braden who each scored
four times against Queens in the
first game.

All-America goalie David
Silvester also stepped up his per-
formance for the weekend, cul-
minating in a 15 save effort
against Richmond in the final
game of the series.

Remillard thinks that the loss
of All-American Greg Golub
actually helps the team in some
respects.

“Now if you shut down one
player, someone else is there,”
said Remillard. “That has been a
smooth transition.”

This coming weekend the
Generals face their toughest test
of the young season as they jour-
ney to Annapolis and the Eastern
Water Association Tourney.

The Generals will be compet-
ing against three top twenty-five
opponents in Princeton (19),
Navy (14), and Slippery Rock
(22). _

“Now we’re playing at a very
strong national level,” said
Remillard of the coming week-
end. “If we win a game, I’m a
happy guy. If we win two, I float
home.”

When asked about the com-
ing season and the quest for a
repeat EWPA title, Remillard
remarked that Johns Hopkins was
probably the favorite to take the
crown.

However, he summed up the
spirit and tradition of the team by
adding, “If they take it, they’re
going to earn it.”

Smith reportedly called Bell
“the finest athlete I ever coached
at Washington & Lee.”

As a baseball player, Bell
earned all-state honors in 1947,
1948, and 1949.

In ’48, he batted .419 with a
Southern Conference-leading six
home runs and a still-standing
school-record of 22 stolen bases.

His most memorable play as a
collegiate came on the football
field. While returning a kickoff,
Bell was aided by a
photographer’s flash that appar-
ently caused two University of
Richmond defenders to tackle
Bell’s lead blocker. The 94-yard
return for a touchdown was one
of the Associated Press’ sports
oddities of the year.

After playing football briefly
with the Washington Redskins
and Detroit Lions, Bell was on
the verge of singing a baseball
deal with the New York Giants
when he suffered a career-end-
ing knee injury.

In more recent times, the other
inductees, Chadwick and Den-
nis, helped W&L chase national
championships in the ’70s.

A member of the National La-
crosse Foundation Hall of Fame
in Baltimore, Chadwick was one
of the best goalies in lacrosse
history.

He was voted the nation’s out-
standing goalie in 1974 and
helped the Generals to the Divi-
sion I NCAA semifinals both his
junior and senior seasons.

“By our junior year, Skeet
was the foundation of the team,”
said formerteammate Ted Bauer,
himself a Lacrosse Hall of Famer.

Bauer, always quick to knock
that team’s defense, described
Chadwick’s remarkable indi-
vidual performance in a ’73 play-
off game versus Navy: “No de-
fense. No help. No goal.”

Chadwick still holds many
school records, including a .720
save percentage in 1974. That
year and 1978, he represented

Once again the Wasps of Emory and Henry managed to spoil the opening game of the football
season. This year, the score was 23-2 as the Generals turned the ball over six times, five via the

$-

A

the United States at the World
Games.

Like Chadwick, Dennis didn’t
break onto the scene until his‘
junior year, a year he was voted!
3rd-Team All-American and Old
Dominion Athletic Conference
Player of the Year.

His single-season scoring

record of 700 points in 1977-78,;

still stands.

That season, Dennis repeated
as ODAC Player of the Year and
earned 1st-Team All-America
honors.

l
Those two seasons, W&L‘

went 45-11, won back-to-back
ODAC titles, and was ranked as
high as fourth in the nation.

In ’78, Dennis was the final

cut from the Boston Celtics’ trainfi‘:

ing camp, ending his hopes for a'
professional career.

However, his coaching ca-
reer appears to be blossoming.
Dennis is entering his third sea-
son as the head coach of Theit’
Citadel.

New assistants aid teams »

BY STEPHEN WILLIARD
Phi Sports Editor

Four Washington and Lee ath-
letic teams opened the year in
1994 with a slightly new look.

Men’s lacrosse, water polo
and swimming, volleyball and
women’s basketball, and
women’s lacrosse and soccer all
have added new assistant coaches
to the staff this year.

KevinAnderson brings hisex-
perience as an All-American
midfielderfor Loyolatothe Gen-
erals’ lacrosse team. Anderson
starred for Loyola over the last
four years and played against the
University of North Carolina in

the 1991 national championship
game.

Coach Paige Remillard of the
water polo and men’s swimming
team will be aided by new assis-
tant Conrad Stuntz.

Stuntz was an All-American
at Bowdoin and captain of the
water polo team.

The volleyball and women’s
basketball teams will get help
from a former foe. Brenda Daivs,
the Old Dominion Athletic Con-
ference player of the year in bas-
ketball and volleyball last sea-
son, will be on the side of the
Generals this season.

Davis brings the experience
of four years with one of the top
volleyball programs in the con-

ference.

Jami Dansingburg will be a
new face on the W&L women’s
lacrosse and soccer teams this
year. Just as Guilford lost Daivs
to W&L, so the shoe was on the
other foot with former assistant
Sue Behme. Dansingburg is re-
placing Behme, who is now the
head coach at Sewaneefi.
Dansingburg was an all-region
goalie with William Smith last
season as Smith reached the
NCAA semi-finals.

All of the teams taking on’
new coaches are drawing from a‘
wealth of recent playing experi-
ence. Each coach should aid their
respective squads as they pursue
successful seasons.
