This was the first weekend of this type, and it gave students and alumni a chance to meet, network, mingle and talk about school and jobs. “We’re trying to establish a rela- tionship between the undergraduate students and the alumni,” senior and _ MSA president Brian Jamison said. The Black History Jazz Cabaret, a semi-formal, invitation-only event hosted in the Hampton Inn Col Alto Ballroom, brought student leaders, faculty and alumni together to enjoy the music and celebrate the heritage. The MSA sent invitations to various student leaders, faculty departme t heads, administrators, food service and bookstore staff and alumni, and members also gave out invitations to other students they thought would enjoy the festivities. The Bernard Harrison Jazz Ensemble performed with smooth jazz tunes from 7:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. “We had a great tumout,” said se- nior Shanntonette Wade of the suc- cessful event. “Dean Howison was there, Dean McCloud a lot of people came.” The weekend fun did not stop with the cabaret, though. At 11 p.m., right after the Jazz Cabaret, the MSA hosted the 01’ School Party, a DJ party at the Pavilion that was open to the entire student body. Students partied until 3 a.m. “Several different colleges were represented at the party,” Wade said. The weekend turned out to be a great success, thanks to the efforts of the MSA. Though future events of this type will probably not be this large, plans are in the works for more festivities nextyear. “The plan is for us to do something like this every year,” Wade said, “something for the students and alumni and faculty to get together ” 0i0 COGS)’ ha Senior Travis Mells and sophomore Shari Henderson chat at the Minority Student Association Cabaret on Saturday night. On Friday afternoon, Habitat For Humanity broke ground on Project Horizon’s battered women’s shelter, which will be lo- cated on Vamer Street. Construc- tion will be completed during the weekends of March 13-14 and 20- 21 with the help of Lexington residents and students from W&L and VMI. Habitat For Humanity is still look- ing for more volunteers to get involved with the project. “We need people who are willing to come out and actually stay and put the skills we’ve taught Habitat for Humanity breaks ground on Horizon safe house them to use,” sophomore and Habitat Secretary Tim Koss said. “It’s going to be a really worthwhile project,” Koss said. “We believe that people will come away with a feeling of enrichment.” For those interested in volunteer- oo b Elly Bames/PhotoEditor ing to help with the project, a train- ing session will be held on March 13 and 14.

W&L goes postal with 20¢ card By Polly Doig NEWS EDITOR Ever wonder just what a philatelist is? Not even a little bit? As Washington and Lee University celebrates the first day of issue of its very own postcard this Thursday, Lex- ington will no doubt be full of philat- elists -— also known as postage stamp collectors. The 20-cent postcard is part of the United States Postal Service’s Historic Preservation series, and features a full- color image of the Colonnade taken by university photographer Patrick Hinely. “What will be of interest to collec- tors is the opportunity to receive a first day of issue program and the hand-canceled stamped card,” Neil- Penick, director of W&L’s 250"‘ Ob- servance, said. “This is really a spe- cial event for the University.” A ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday in Lee Chapel, where post- cards will be hand-canceled for attend- ees —— which has the possibility of increasing the value of the postcards. “February 1 1th is the only day the _ postcards will be hand-canceled, pro- ducing several variations which is what collectors are going after,” W&L communications writer Louise Uffelman said. “If there’s an error, par- ticularly on just some of them, [the postcards] will be worth some money in the future.” ‘ According to Uffelman, postcards will be made available after the cer- emony ‘to students who would like them. The remaining cards, which will be distributed though Virginia post of- fices, will be canceled by machine. The W&L postcard will be a regional is- sue limited to a press run of six mil- lion. The Colonnade appeared previ- ously on a three-cent stamp in 1949, which commemorated the University’s ' bicentennial. This was the first time that a university was featured by the Postal Service on a stamp. According to Uffelman, the pro- cess of being granted the postcard began three years ago, with the plan- ning of the bicenquinquagenary, and was helped along by such alumni as Sen. John Warner ’49, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, and John Nolan ’70, a former Postmaster of New York City. Larry Creamer, Postmaster of Lex- ington, will preside over the ceremony that includes the Virginia Military In- stitute color guard, and remarks by someone who never could tell a lie — George Washington. Old George, as well as members of the presiding party, will also be available to autograph the postcards following the ceremony. 00 C011 CS)’ ml _V Ollil UC D-hall observe Groundhog Day with ‘Road Kill’ theme (above) University Dining Services sponsored a theme dinner last Tuesday entitled “Road Kill Buffet” in honor of Groundhog Day.

Under the cover of the night, SLC members, with the help of W&L Security, sneaked into the co-op building, and left each member of the co-op staff an African violet and one big ‘Thank You’ card. The card thanked the co-op staff for being so good to students. “We were all very touched by their thoughtfulness,” Assistant Manager Judy Sensabaugh said.

This weekend, the Executive Corn- mittee found a student guilty of an honor violation I never knew was a crime. And I would place a bet that ‘most of you reading this never thought it was “wrong” either. In fact, I know many of us have done just what this student was fotmd guilty of doing —- “stealing” from the dining hall. The basics ofthe case are all you needtokrrowtoexarnineyourowncul- pability. The student used another student’s card to swipe and eat off the fieshmanmealplan. Thefieshrnan vol- untarily gave the other student their card because the freshman was not eatingthere forthatmeal, and sothe meal, theoretically, was going to waste. In another instance, the “guilty” stu- dent shared food off a student’s plate —— clarified, one student ate their meal, and the other ate the leftovers that were going to be thrown away. How many of us out there are “guilty” of this too? When I thought aboutallthetirnesIguessIhavevio- lated the Honor Code (as the EC deter- mined how it apples to the dining hall), itmademereali2ethatthis“guilty” stu- dentwasthe scapegoat, caught inaweb of mistmderstanding and common prac- tice. Whataboutall the times I forgot my card and the swiper let me go through the line without writing down my name or number? What about the times when the swipe machine was unattended and I either didn’t have my card or for some reason, the machine said I didn’t have any meals left when I thought I did? I went ahead and got my food and never gave it a second thought. My meals are paidforalreadysolfiguredthed-hallis getting its money anyway. What aboutthe time when I brought my parents with me for breakfast and I got them cups of coffee, some fruit and my mom shared my bagel? Three of us ate off my one meal swipe. What about the time my best friend fiom home was visiting and I wantedto show her the d-hall? I swiped twice, and I thought that deducted fiom my meal plan and that she was paid for. What about all the times I got extra frozen yogtut or juice or Gatorade or fruit or cereal or bagels and took them back to the dorms to eat later? What about the times my friends have been sick with the flu or too hungover to make it to brunch, so I got breakfast for them and took it back? What about the time I had metings in the University Center and during the breakslgrabbedadr1'nk(inoneofthose plastic d-hall cups)? I took it out of the d-hall without swiping because it was between meals, and all I really wanted was a How many of us have done these same things? How many of us are now considered “guilty” of an honor viola- tion? I would guess the majority of us who take classes on the hill, or gradu- ate with a Washington and Lee diploma, have done some “offense” against the d-hall, without knowing it It’s a shame that this student was the sacrificial lamb for us all. His case was a test, pushing the Honor System into the realm of Sunday brunch and Tuesday night dinner. We have all paid ourduestothe dining hall. Otuparents hadno choicebuttobuy intothatfull fieshman meal plan, and because of that, I felt entitled to do the things I have done. I never thought of those actions as dishonorable or stealing because hundreds of d-hall meals have gone wasted in my years here. There’s nothing to be done, no way to protest this injustice. The EC has delivered their verdict, and the dining hall has our meal plan money whehter we choose ot eat there again or not. I just felt I should warn you, because almost all of us have committed these “crimes.” Anonymous. P.S. I submitthis letterto the Editor anonymously because in our Honor System, I feel like there is no guarantee against incriminating yourself. That goes against our constitutional rights ascitizensoftheUnited States,andfur- thermore, it prevents us fiom speaking out against the Executive Committee and the Honor System.

For anyone headed down to New Orleans this weekend, the following tips and reminders might prove helpfirl in maxi- mizing the incredible adventure you are about to take. —First of all, you’ve seen bare breasts, right? So don’t spend all your time on Bourbon Street. Definitely don’t miss the city’s most notoriously naughty thoroughfare. Go to Pat O’Brien’s. Have a few Hurricanes. Hell, you can even buy a few $1 shots from that sketchy guy on the comer. You won’t be able to find a bathroom, so find a side street, make sure no cops are around and let it all go. ——W&L students are all familiar with the term “pre—party.” Be prepared to do lots of it. Remember that wherever you are trying to go, and whatever you are trying to see, mil- lions of other tourists are looking to go to the same places and see the same things. So get there EARLY with lots of Dixie and stay LATE with even more. —The ATM machines at Fidelity banks don’t charge a service fee for Crestar ATM cards. Stay away fi'om Whitney — $2.50! I’m not familiar with First Union’s cards, sorry. —Looking for lunch? Have a fried seafood po-boy at Mother’s Restaurant on the comer of Poydras and Tchoupitoulas. ——Since you probably haven’t seen enough images of General Lee, take a streetcar ride from Lee Circle (St. Charles and Howard Ave). Travel all the way to Carrollton Ave., enjoying the beautiful uptown architecture all the way down St. Charles. Finish off at Madigan’s and have a few drinks with some 12-year-olds. —Get a daquiri at any one of the drive-thru daquiri places. —Do not buy Mardi Gras beads. Off His ROCk€I' 3 Stephen Pesoe ’O1 -—Stroll through Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery, original resting place of Jefferson Davis (removed by his wife Varina upon the burial of P.G.T. Beauregard because the two couples didn’t get along all that well). —The cops are busy, stressed, over-worked and under- paid. Be nice to them. Do what they say without asking questions. —Beware of wrong truns. Bad neighborhoods seem to appear out of nowhere. ——Brennan’s, Antione’s, Galitoire’s, Commander’s —— eat at one of these places and bring your Visa card because . . . well, you know. —Remember that you got your shoes on your feet. —A good place to settle down for the evening is Fat Harry’s at 4330 St. Charles Ave. just ofi‘Napolean Ave., next store to Copeland’s restaurant (a great place for a meal). ——It’s late, or early, depending on how you look at it. You need something in your stomach. Stop at Cafe du Monde (Decatur and St. Ann) for an order of beignets / ben yays /, a cup of coffee and a 15-cent paper hat. —Watch out for the pot holes. —Bu_ild up an appetite and go to The Central Grocery for a whole Mufielatta. —See the Village People and Kool and the Gang Saturday night in the Krewe of Endymion celebrating eternal youth and 300 years of Mardi Gras. Check out the largest float in Mardi Gras history, Captain Eddie’s S.S. Endymion, an 80- yard long superfloat carrying more than 200 riders, a $100,000 Bose sound system and more than a million feet of fiberoptic lighting. —Next Sunday don’t miss Bacchus, Jim Belushi and his reign as the god of wine as he and his krewe celebrate Jules Verne with a four-mile stroll through the city. —Monday night, see Orpheus’s hope floats canying Harry Connick, Jr., and Sandra Bullock as the krewe of music and merriment celebrates Opening Night at the French Opera House. —Adrnire the beautiful Fambeaux carriers by throwing quarters. —Find your spot along St. Charles early on Tuesday mom- ' ing. Make friends with any of a number of the groups of overweight, classy young gentlemen with a keg in the back of mom’s old station wagon and a homemade portable toi- let (the two go together like red beans and rice). -24-hour Trolley Stop Café! Belgian waffles, omlettes, steak and eggs, Southern gravy! You are in for a true late night treat. —Go see the Zulu king and queen, but don’t try to find them down on St Claude and Dumaine. —Keep an ear out for the incredible St. Augustine march- ing band. WOW! —Order jarnbalya with a meal and understand why your friends from Louisiana refuse to eat the D-Hall’s rendition of the plate. —As for parking: Good Luck! Let me know if you come up with a solution. Your best bet is to park at a friend’s house and walk, which reminds me — always wear comfortable shoes, which you got on your feet. —If anyone tells you not to do anything stupid, ignore them.

FEBRUARY 8, 1999 ’ Dancing brings culture,pleasure to W&L i . E,W&L students ‘,than ever find ‘ Classes ranging from swing and shag to ballet and Spanish dancing have taken the W&L campus by storm W-»TBy Elianna Marziani S'm1:'F WRITER ; There’s a whole lot ofdancing going on at Washington and Lee University. There has always been dancing at the Friday and Saturday night band and DJ parties at frater- nity houses, but dancing at W&L has expanded recently to include everything from big band dancing such as swing and shag to ethnic Spanish dancing to more conservative fomrs of dance such as ballet. .» The University has sponsored several types of dance classes and dance instructor Frank Roupas has come in from the outside world to lead W&L students in swing, fox trot, waltz, cha-cha, samba, mambo, tango, merengue and ballroom dancing. Span- ish language assistant Yolanda Charlan is teaching classes in the traditional flamenco style and W&L Dance offers classes in ev- erything from ballet andjazz to tap and funk. Why is dance suddenly so popular? Owen Barker, direc- tor of student activities, explained that the emergence of dance fonns such as swing at W&L is not surprising. “The explosion ofswing dance is something that is happening all over the country,” Barker said. “Music is very cy- clical," he said. “The resur- gence ofthe big band era is natu- rally leading to a revival in the type of dance that went along with that music.” As for the interest in other, more tradi- tional dances such as ballroom dancing, Barker said, “Many young ladies at «- W&L are going through their debutante seasons and are thus learning or taking -refresher courses in the dances to accom- pany the obligations of this period.” While both of these reasons for why more 1themselves’_,:'. Edancing ilocelyn Bowman put it best when she said, “It’s r r the night away are enlightening, perhaps sophomore just fun I " SWING: JUMP, JrvE AND WAIL Bowman participates in the University—sponsored swing classes that senior Christine Bragg andjunior Heather Reid have been teaching for the past two weeks. With swing being one of the types of music to grace this year‘s Fancy ‘Dress Ball, interest in it has grown significantly on campus. Swing dancing originated with the Shag, the South Carolina state dance and a traditional southern dance. ‘While Barker is planning to organize a shag class in the spring, swing is in the spotlight at W&L now. Barker said, “At the beginning ofthe year, one thing I ' “”“’~“”*;3=.*<=srat¢2¥‘5%"*‘v’3 lwanted to do was to offer free swing classes.” In October be reserved Doremus Gym for fournights in both Elanuary and February, planning to offer one class for 40 people. i L 1 Campus Notices announced the openings for the swing classes at 2 p.m. on Jan. 13. Within an hour and a half of this e—mail, all 40 slots had been taken. Two days after he sent out the e-rnail. Barker had more than 150 requests to join the class. As a result. Barker‘ created two additional swing classes. Now there are two beginners’ classes and one advanced I class that accommodate a total of 160 people. The first three classes have gone very well, according to many par- ticipants, and the last lesson is scheduled for Feb. 8. The students taking these classes are very excited about them. Sophomore Renee Harper had her reasons for sign- ing up for the course. “I thought it was a neat opportunity to learn swing,” she said. “It’s awesome, it’s fun to learn and to practice, and it’s really a gift to the students who are participating. “It’s totally awesome of Owen Barker to have orga- nized these classes for the students. I have always wanted to learn how to swing dance, but I don’t know ifl would have pursued classes else- where,” Harper said. Bow- m a n echoed the high praises of the swing classes, when she said, “It’s just great fun and really laid back. I love the instructors and am having a great time learning the basics of swing.” Barker was pleasantly surprised with the suc- cess of the classes. “I really had no idea it would go over this well,” he said. Because of the fantas- tic response, he is con- sidering offering more swing classes in the spring along with classes in shag dancing. SEVILLANAS, A NATIVE DANCE or SPAIN While the oldie but goodie dances from earlier in the century are coming back in vogue, more ex- otic dances are taking hold of little Lex- ington as well. Yolanda Charlan, a native language classes in the sevillanas, a traditional dance originating from southern Spain. The natives of southern Spain cel- ebrate the feria de abril, a week-long fes- tival during which everyone lives in tents, dances the sevillanas, drinks sherry made locally and eats traditional foods of the area. The sevillanas is a dance consisting of four steps in three periods. “It’s the most typical dance in Spain —— it’s a tradition!” Charlan said. She describes it as a sensual dance in which one moves the arms in rhythm with the legs, “always creating shapes in the movements.” A ""'” “It’s also a way to flirt,” Charlan added. One might wonder how such a unique dance became part of the W&L student activities portfolio. It all started last year when another language assistant wanted to share this unique cultural experience with her students, and members of the VMI and Lexington community who wanted to learn. After seeing the great excitement generated by sevillanas and the large student involvement in it last year, Ellen Mayock, professor of romance languages, asked Charlan if she would consider teaching a class this year. Charlan was eager to take up the offer, and the first two student wants to help reduce those I statistics.

' Knowledge of the Spanish language is not necessary to participate in the sevillanas classes, and a schedule of classes can be accessed from the W&L Spanish department’s home page. THE TrMELEss APPEAL or BALLET While many students are going exotic and trying new dances like sevillanas, other students are enjoying more traditional, conservative forms of dance like ballet. W&L Dance is a student organization that offers night classes for a variety of different dance forms from jazz to modern. The group was originally created, however, for ballet. Senior Sarah Moore teaches many of the W&L Dance ballet classes. Missie Belcher, a dance instructor at Lexington Dance Studio, also teaches one club class each week, in addition to a ballet-for-P.E.-credit class through the University. Sophomore Faith Collins has enjoyed the opportunity to continue her study of ballet at W&L. A 14-year student of ballet, Faith had planned on taking ballet classes in town. “Swingers” Stephen Pesce ’01 and his date dance the night away at the 250th Ball. The 150 students currently participating in the W&L swing classes will soon be ready to show off their new moves at the Fancy Dress Ball on March 5. let dancers. Anyone who has taken ballet in the Lenfest Center’s Re- hearsal Hall can tell you that the set-up is not ideal. The bars and mir- rors are not in the cor- rect places and the floor is not quite suited for se- rious ballet work. For dancers, how- ever, these problems, while frustrating, are not enough to stop the dancing. “You don’t want to see something as beau- tiful as ballet die,” Collins said. “W&L Dance is really improv- ing and getting better. Each year we see more participation.” The group performs a recital at the end of each year, incorporating all the forms of dance represented in the group into one perfomrance. Collins expressed frustration atthe apparent lack of interest in dance displayed by some members of the W&L community. “You’d think at W&L, there’d be more interest in see- ing those forms of art grow,” Collins said. “I think that Photo by Emily Bames/Photo Editor ail dancing is the purest form of art. It involves music and the human body. You use every single part of your body. When you can do it and do it right, it is the most beautiful thing ever — it’s almost defying limits.” ' Dancing truly does defy limits, whether they be limits of grav- ity, defied by female swing dancers who are swung up into the air as though they weigh nothing, or limits ofthe human body (do ballerinas’ legs truly belong up by their ears?). With swing and ballroom dancing, sevillanas, ballet and the huge variety of other dances perfomied by W&L Dance, and all the exciting classes awaiting students in spring term, there are plenty of opportunities for students to jump on the bandwagon and dance, dance, dance.

You shriek. People you meet on the Internet are stalkers and axe murderers! Well, that’s true of some ‘net users, but not everyone. If you’ve ever opened Netscape, YOU’ RE a ‘net user. So am I. In fact, I met my fiance on the Internet. It’s true. Want to know the details? Read on. Most people meet through chat rooms, like those on America Online©. Chat rooms are just places into which you can wander, places full of people talk- ing about any one of an in- finite number of topics. It’s only natural that people with similar tastes who meet in these rooms will start e—mailing each other personally. E-mail is great for getting to know P°°P1e ‘”ith°“t actually Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan star in “You’ve Got Mail,” ha"mg‘° k"°w them‘ They a movie about finding true love on the Internet. could be lying about them- selves, that’s true. But nothing says you have to meet these people in person. So chat rooms are a great place to start. Now we come to the way that I met Scott (my fiance): Internet personal ads. It was late on a Saturday night last May, and I was ready to see what kind of weirdos this electronic medium could introduce. I put out an ad in Yahoo! for the St. Louis area that said, basically, “I’m coming home for the summer, I was wonder- ing what kind of interesting people live in my area, yada yada yada.” My only contact information was my Yahoo! e—mail address. The response was staggering, but only one ad was re- ally scary. From the initial replies, I e-mailedsome of the people. I had no real interest in meeting any of them in person, but sometimes, the thought of doing that (which was decidedly risky, as everyone knows) was a bit of a thrill. When I went home in June, I arranged to meet one per- son, Travis, IRL (in real life). When you meet an Internet person, always meet in a public place with plenty of people, right? Well, my parents were terrified on my behalf, so they insisted that Travis (a local college student and jazz guitar- ist) come to our house to get me so they could get a look at him. Luckily, he put up with that. Ultimately, we didn’t get along well enough to keep in touch, but I had done it. I had met someone from the Intemet. The world was my oyster. Scott was the only other person I met from the ‘net. Again, my parents in- sisted that he come to the house, saying, “He could be an ax murderer! We have to meet him and get his license plate number!” He humored them. Scott is a computer programmer (ofcourse) in downtown St. Louis, and we hit it right off. We had an uncanny number of things in common, and things went really well. I even affectionately call him “Ax Murderer,” for the ‘net person he might have been. The wedding, incidentally, is set for Sep- Photo courtesy www.darkhorizons.com tember 25 of this year. Yes, I was one of the lucky ones. I met people from the Internet who had been honest about themselves and their lives, and they had no mali— cious intent whatsoever. The moral of the story is be open- minded but careful. Most people out there are just like you, but some are not. out any of your p e r s o n a I infonnation in chat rooms, don’t believe ev- erything people tell you online, always meet in public places and think cautiously. The Internet is a huge world‘ of learning and opportu- nity, and it is the medium of the future. Be courageous but careful, and good things could hap- pen to you, too. Happy chatting!

Sophomore guard Joel Kauffrnan scored a game-high 27 points for EMU and shot 17-18 from the free-throw line, including four technical free-throws in the final six sec- onds of the game to seal the victory. “We played very hard, and that’s the most frustrating,” W&L head coach Kevin Moore said. “You win a game like this one and it does so much for your confidence . . . but if you lose it’s like sticking a knife right in your heart.” The Generals trailed 79-78 with :27 left in overtime when freshman forward Bob Bustamante missed a three-pointer from the top of the key. Walt Plyer came down with the offensive rebound for the Generals and W&L called a time- out with 18 seconds left. Following the time-out, junior center Rich Peterson caught the ball on the right block, went up strong against a double team but missed the shot. Although there ap- peared to be contact, no foul was called and EMU forward Neal Lewis came down with the rebound, Bustamante fouled Lewis to stop the clock with six seconds remaining. Immediately following Bustamante’s foul, senior guard Kevin Cobbin appeared to push Kauffrnan, and Cobbin was whistled for two technical fouls. Bustamante’s foul and Cobbin’s double technical com- bined to give the Royals six free-throws and possession. Lewis hit one of two from the line and Kauffman hit all four technicals to seal the victory. “We kept falling behind, but we battled back and played tough,” junior forward Scott Hudson said. “We made some big shots and almost came up with some big defensive stops.” The Generals trailed 67-61 with :40 left in regulation but W&L pulled off a thrilling comeback to send the game into overtime. Sophomore guard Will Ballard banked in a tliree- pointer with six seconds remaining in regulation to send the game into overtime tied at 68-68. The Generals pulled off the comeback without the ser- . vices of Hudson and junior center Brian Ricketts, who both fouled out in the final .2230 of regulation. The Generals lost Ballard just four seconds into the overtime period when he was called for his fifth foul. The Royals went to the foul line 42 times compared to just 21 for the Generals. EMU shot 31-42 (74 percent) while the Generals shot 14-21 (67 percent). The Generals were whistled for 29 personal fouls compared to just 18 for the Royals. “They scored 31 of their 82 points were from the foul line,” Moore said. “That is very frustrating.” Five players finished in double figures for the Generals, led by sophomore guard Chad Braley with 17 points. Ballard had 16, Hudson and Peterson scored 14, and Cobbin tallied 1 1 . Along with Kauffman’s 27 points for EMU, junior for- ward Quincy Longacre had 17 points and nine rebounds Junior forwand Scott Hudson protects the ball during Sat and Lewis had 14 points. The Royals shot 56 percent from the field, while the Generals shot only 39 percent. W&L turned the ball over only 14 times and outrebounded the Royals 20-1 1 on the offensive glass. “We took care of the ball well and we rebounded well,” Moore said. “But the thing we didn't do a good job of is preventing their big guys from catching the ball in scoring position.” The Generals remain one game ahead of Lynchburg for the 8th and final spot in the upcoming ODAC tournament. The Generals host Lynchburg on Wednesday night after visiting Randolph-Macon on Monday night. Swimming crushed in Atlanta By Steele Cooper SPORTS WRITER The men’s and women’s swim teams traveled Saturday to Atlanta to face traditional favorite Emory. Both the men and the women lost their match-ups, but the meet was not without its bright spots for the Generals. The men (7-6) lost by a 160-75 margin, but their usual leaders did not come away empty handed. Sophomore Colin Hayes gamered-two wins in the 100 and 200 fly, with times of 53.30 and 2:00.24, respectively. Hayes’ classmate Rob Little finished the 200 [M with the win- ning time of2:06.50, andjunior Jared Fribush won the 50 free with a time of22.16. The men’s 400 free relay team also brought home a win for the Generals. “We knew the competition here was going to be Track fares well at VMI tough, but I think everyone did well. It’s time now to focus on swimming well at the Invitational, which I know we’re very capable of doing,” said Fribush. The women (9-7), riding a high from earning the most wins on a season in school history, fell to Emory with a 167-80 score. Senior captain Margaret Hoehl once again turned in an insurmountable performance, thereby continuing her incredible season. Hoehl won the 200 free (1 :58.97) and the 500 free (5: 16.38). The women’s 400 free relay team also defeated Emory in that event. The men and women of Washington and Lee swim- ming will begin to close out their season next week. The men will swim in the SCAC Invitational February 18-20, and the women will vie for the title in the ODAC/ SCAC Championships February 19-21. Chamberlain wrestles well Photo by Emily Bames/Photo Editor urday’s game. Guilford Quakers foil women’s b-ball _ By Tod Williams SPORTS WRITER It was a week of role reversals for the Generals: some good, and some bad. The outcomes of the Randolph- Macon Women’s College game and the Guilford College game were the oppo- site from the teams’ first meeting ear- lier this season. And for once, Wash- ington and Lee was the one riding high on a winning streak. Just over two weeks ago, Berry Lowden’s last-second layup gave the Generals a 63-61 win over Guilford. But vengeance was in the Quakers’ cor- ner when they entered the Warner Center on Saturday, and they walked away with an 83-70 win. But last Tuesday, it was the Gener- als who avenged an 86-79 loss to RMWC last December. Junior Ansley Miller drove north to south in the game’s finalseconds to put W&L up 55-54 up for good. That was the fifth win in the streak, and the first time that they have played more than two win- ning games in a row. Unfortunately, it came to an end with Saturday’s loss. Saturday’s loss was far from appar- ent until well into the second half. W&L jumped out to an early eight- point lead in the game, and they car- ried the same eight-point lead into the break. After halftime, the Generals ex- tended flieir lead to 12, but they weren’t far enough ahead of the Quakers, who took the game from there. Shooting percentages tell the story of W&L’s second half demise. The Generals shot 44 percent in the first half, but let their accuracy slip to 35 percent in the second half. The sec- ond half did see Miller connect the trifector, the only make in ten General attempts. But Guilford prospered in the last 20 minutes. Having shot only 35 percent in the first half, the Quakers saw the need to step it up, and they certainly did. Guilford’s 55 percent second half would be all they needed for the 13 point win. Again, freshman Jessica Mentz paced the Generals with her 20 points. W&L’s lone senior, Chrissy Burghardt helped outwith her 17 point and 1 1 board double double. Megan Babst proved to be the soup Nazi for the day, as she de- nied service to the Quakers four times; Babst also notched 10 rebounds. Guilford’s bench seemed a little deeper than the Generals’ did on Sat- urday. Three Quakers came off the pine to combine for 42 points, while W&L’s bench could only muster 16 points. . Prior to the last-second heroics of Miller in Tuesday’s win over RMWC, Burghardt became the first General in the school’s 250 years to score 1,000 career points. The thrilling win came after a very tight game. W&L led the entire game, until the last six seconds, but never by more than seven points. RMWC took the lead for the first time as Stephanie Marcial nailed a ten- footer to put the Quakers up with 5.7 ticks left. W&L called a time out, but, after returning to the court, and hint.-93- , ing what would come, another time ou was called. This time the General came out in a different setup, whic was obviously successful. Once Miller ‘l ~“. got the ball, it was all over for the Wild- . ; cats. After weaving through a host of. S bodies, Miller hit her layup, with only~f' :‘ 1.1 seconds left. But RMWC, inbounded and took one last heave at“; the basket. Yet again, Mentz lead the Generals this time with her fourth double doubl of the season. Burghardt, the millennium; woman, added 12 points and five steal'_s:E for the Generals. Tara Carleton ofRMW(§ :3 ' s. .44 led all scorers with her 25 points. The Generals look to avenge a 70- 53 loss to Bridgewater earlier this year as W&L hosts the Eagles at the Warner Center Tuesday night. 711te1'nat1'anaI ‘Blah ‘75'eb1-nary 25, 1999 ' 77mrsday ' 8 p.m. presents €99-IQ_,5istro zooo Extraordinlst Craig Karges presents a fantastic Sophomore Josh Chamberlain reached the finals of the149-pound weight class bracket at the Newport News Apprentice School Invitational .'
