These discussions provided material for the new alcohol task force. " University Health Educator and Interfra— temity Council Advisor Burr Datz led one discussion group with Assistant Athletic Di- rector Chuck O’Connell. Datz, a 1975 gradu- . ate of W&L, said he recognizes the magni- tude of the problem and wants to do some- thing about it. “There’s a river of alcohol abuse running through this campus, and_I want to reduce 4 the flood to a trickle,” Datz said. In Datz and O’Connell’s group, students mentioned the difficulties in finding an effec- tive solution that the university community can still accept. Junior IFC member Quincy Springs said the biggest problem is attitude. “We have a lot of people here who plan to get trashed. . . we need to change the ideas about that,” Springs said. A: Datz agreed and said that alumni consump- tion of alcohol at Homecoming and Alumni Weekend proves that campus culture pro- motes heavy drinking. “We do a lot of things that are diseased, and We’ve done them so long we think they’re normal,” Datz said. Springs also suggested that fraternities require more of their members to undergo discusses ‘ ‘culture of alcohol’ ’ photos by Emily Barnes/Executive Editor BRAINSTORM: In the Morris House, students surround Dean Dalhouse in a constructive discussion on the presence of alcohol in campus life (top right).

TIPS (Training in Interventions and Preven- tions) to reduce the likelihood Of distributing alcohol to already intoxicated students. Senior Peer Segelke said that the BYOB policy, instituted his freshman year, has not done much to change the distribution of alcohol at fraternity parties. Segelke ac- knowledged the difficulties involved in en- forcing existing university policies on al- cohol, but said that something has to change. “Somewhere, the axe should come down,” Segelke said. Director of Security Mike Young also par- ticipated in the discussion. Young, who handles many situations involving alcohol, said he is frustrated with the way alcohol-in- duced problems are handled at W&L. “We encourage bad behavior because we never punish,” Young said. Dean of Students David Howison also led a discussion group. Howison said his group discussed several possible solutions, including Greek organizations developing their own versions of Live Drive, balancing personal responsibility and university responsibility, and the possibility of a single—sanction suspen- sion penalty for a DUI charge. Senior Jenny Anne Kneisel, president of Chi Omega and a member of HoWison’s dis- cussion group, hopes Greek organizations can encourage their members to take more per- sonal responsibility. “The university can only do so much,” she Said. However, Kneisel said that the discus- sion was along Way from finding a solution. “I think it was a very positive experience, but we only started to scratch the surface,” Kneisel said. English Professor Suzanne Keen took notes for HOWison’S discussion group. She said she was amazed at how long the discussion con- tinued and how much the students said. “They covered a whole spectrum of is- sues,” Keen said. Keen also said that the task force will have a lot of useful information and view- points to consider when they read the meeting notes. “They have an incredibly hard job,” she said. Freshman Joel Pepera, in a disussion group led by Dean of Freshmen Mark Dalhouse, said his group discussed the dis- parity between a strong honor code and al- cohol-related behavior. “The Honor Code is supposed to rule ev- ery aspect of our lives. . . if we don’t expand our concept of honor, the school will need more regulations,” Pepera said.

Members of the team formed to help plan for the environmental aspect of the building include Physics Professor Bob Akins, also chair of the University’s Environmental Planning and Management Committee; Director of Physical Plant Scott Beebe; Director of Fa- cilities Planning Tom Contos; and juniors Blaine Clarke and Helen Downes, both interns for Association of Colleges of the South, which addresses Southern en- vironmental issues. ' This group was joined by several VMDO architects at the Sustainable Campus Development Clinic at Emory Uni- versity in Atlanta this weekend. There they learned about “sustainable buildings,” Clarke said, “that meet the needs of the campus now with- out diminishing the resources for the future.” “The Woods Creek area used to be so beautiful until we built the Science Center, library, parking garage and sorority houses,” Associate Dean of Students Leroy “Buddy” Atkins said. “It used to be one huge woods that nobody though could ever be overwhelmed, but now it is overwhelmed. This plan is a hope to restore the area to the way it once was by taking advantage of the natural terrain,” Dean of Students David Howison said. Construction of the University Commons will begin this summer. The new building perches on the ridge Over- looking Woods Creek, next to Leybum Library and adj a- cent to Reid Hall. “The Commons will have two equal sides, not just a front and a back, in order to incorporate the front of Reid Hall and to create an amphitheater effect,” Howison said. According to Howison, in 1904 university planners faced Reid Hall’s facade towards House Mountain, where they believed the campus would develop. Reid Hall was going to be part of a second Colonnade facing the oppo- site direction. No other buildings were built in that direc- tion, however, leaving Reid Hall with a “Wrong-facing” facade. Planners were faced with the necessity of providing a route for the service vehicles delivering to the bookstore and food service facilities. instead proposing an underground tunnel in front of sketch by VMDO VIEW FROM WOODS CREEK: Architects’ plan to minimize environmental impact on campus. With environmental considerations, they Wanted to avoid building a road up the hill behind the library, Graham—Lees dorm that travels underneath the Doremus lawn and parking lot to an underground load- ing dock near the Commons. In addition to harmonizing with its surroundings, it is hoped that the Commons will provide a new social and recreational outlet for the W&L student body. “We need a place on campus where all members of the community can gather for activities or to have more opportunities to interact socially,” Howison said. “I think that the Commons is aII essential component of the liberal education of students at Washington and Lee.” SEE ‘COMMONS’ ON PAGE 2 ‘Tilt: fling-tum ifllii November 13, 2000 Generals footbal to Swarthm , OCR::/Vol_103/WLURG39_RTP_20001113/WLURG39_RTP_20001113_002.2.txt ‘PAGE 2 ' @112 filing-tum lfllri NOVEMBER 13, 2000 ‘COMMONS’ FROM PAGE 1 The building will probably include a food service area, a movie theater, offices for different campus or- ganizations, a coffee shop, a mail room, and lounge ‘areas.

Franke, in his 28th year as coach of the Generals, wants an improvement from last season’s 7-5 mark, which in‘- cluded a 3-3 record in the Centennial Conference. , “I think that this team, right now, has the potential to be a better team than last year,” Franke said. “I hope that we can have a better dual meet record than last year.” V The Generals lost two seniors, captains Chad Casto and Alex McManimen, from the 1999-2000 squad.

Juniors Ben Segal (125) and Ivan Zdanov (174) and sopho- more John Polena (133) areW&L’s key returning grapplers. Franke expects freshmen Cory Little (141), Steve Saks, and Joel Mueller (184) to have an immediate impact. Never- theless, the coach admits that their inexperience at the col- lege level provides a level of uncertainty for the Generals. “We’re practicing, and we’re working on what we think will make us successful,” Franke said. “It really depends on how our freshmen do, because we kind of know how our upperclassmen are going to do.” After nearly a month of preseason practice, the Gener- als opened their schedule Sunday with individual compe- Franke has wrestling team determined to improve tition at the VMI Keydet Invitational.

Generals’ prospects go inside-out Men’s team loses two key frontcourt starters, but , returns depth to backcourt By Jeremy Franklin SPORTS EDITOR Normally one wouldn’t highly anticipate a season after losing over 19 points and 16 rebounds per game from the previous year — especially when the current roster fea- tures just two seniors and one junior. But second-year Washington and Lee men’s basket- ball head coach Jeff Lafave has to be at least somewhat optimistic about his team’s prospects in 2000-01. Despite the youth of the team, the Generals — who finished 9-16 overall last year, including a 6-12 mark in the Old Domin- ion Athletic Conference — are far from inexperienced. “We had a lot of freshmen on the floor getting some time last year, so yve’re hoping they’ll contribute this year,” Lafave said of his quintet of ‘second-year players, who will be complemented by the same number of freshmen. “A weakness is trying to mesh the five incoming fresh- men with five sophomores.” The Generals will have depth in the backcourt this sea- Football falls to Swarthmore son, despite the loss of point guard Walt Plyler. Lafave feels confident that sophomore Will Cotter, who saw ac- tion in all 25 games last year, can run the show from Ply1er’s slot in the lineup. “[Cotter] has a good understanding of the offense, and he’s trying to take a leadership role,” Lafave said. “He brings to the table something a little bit different than Walt, as far as scoring off the dribble.” Senior captains Will Ballard and Chad Braley will join Cotter in the backcourt, and both will be relied upon on both ends of the court. Ballard led the team in scoring with a 9.2-point average in 1999-2000, and Braley contributed 7.9 per game. Two swingmen, junior Bob Bustamante and sopho- more Scott Hetterrnan, round out the returning W&L backcourt. Bustamante, who averaged 8.8 points and 4.6 rebounds a game last year despite missing nine games due to injury, and Hetterman (6.7 points, 3.7 rebounds) can play a variety of positions for the Generals. “We’ve got some versatile kids,” Lafave said of the backcourt. “We have some depth and we can do some things there.” The Generals’ inexperience may show up in the frontcourt, however, with Brian Ricketts (9.0 points, 8.6 rebounds) and Scott Hudson (7.1 points, 5.3 rebounds) no longer around to muscle their way inside. Although the Generals have several talented underclassmen, Lafave is concerned about physical disparity between last year’s post players and this season’s class, which features sophomore Jake McAlister and 6-foot—6 freshmen David Bode and John Saxon. ‘‘It will be very hard (to replace Ricketts and Hudson) because of the physical size of the young guys,” Lafave said. “They’re probably more skilled than Brian and Scott, but they’re 20 pounds away. We’re going to have to re- bound as a team.” Even if the Generals get off to another slow start, Lafave believes his team will be a contender in the postseason. Last year’s team began the year 04 but won its first ODAC Tourna- ment game in 10 years against Bridgewater in the quarterfinals, that W&L will look to build upon in 2()()0-01 . “Every season has its moments of uncertainty,” Lafave said. “But anytime you have success on that level, you can build on it. “We’re setting ourselves on improving, and what we need to do to make ourselves successful in February. It’s going to be a game-in, game-out process.” The season begins Friday at the Gettysburg Tournament. ODAC Football Final update ‘ By Jeremy Franklin SPORTS EDITOR Swarthmore rolled up 386 yards of to- tal offense, including 151 yards and two touchdovms from tailback Ken Clark, as the Garnet Tide defeated Washington and Lee 16-6 Saturday afternoon. The Generals managed just 179 ‘yards of total offense, falling short of their first six-win season since 1985. Senior Marc Watson rushed 20 times for 101 yards, extending his single- season school rushing record to 1,325. Freshman Sean McGarvey, making his - first collegiate start at quarterback, completed 6—of-13 passes for 43 yards, but was picked off three times. On the defensive side of the ball, junior Jeff Bahl racked up 15 tackles ,_and a sack, giving him a team-leading 108 tackles for the year. Senior Will . « ‘ I , Baker, who led the Generals with five interceptions, picked off a Scott Murray pass and also tallied 10 tack- les against the Garnet Tide. After Clark’s one-yard TD run put Swarthmore up 6-0 with 9:43 left in the first quarter, sophomore Chris Sullivan returned the ensuing kickoff back 80 ‘ yards for the game-tying score. A two-yard touchdown run from Clark put the Garnet Tide back on top with 12:01 remaining in the game, and Rob Castelluci’s field goal with 2:42 to play extended the lead to ‘16-6. The Generals finished the 2000 sea- son 5-5 overall, posting a 2-4 mark in the Old Dominion Athletic Confer- ence, resulting in a fourth—place tie with Hampden-Sydney and Randolph-Macon. in season finale Standings ODAC Overall 1 Team W L PF PA W L PF PA ”” " Emory&Henry-x 5 1 203 158 8 2 315 199 Bridgewater 5 1 244 106 9 1 .361 146 Catholic 4 2 261 167 6 4 326 248 Washington&Lee 2 4 113 166 5 5 223 232 Hampden-Sydney 2 4 160 155 4 6 270 256 Randolph-Macon 2 4 118 162 3 7 166 277 Guilford 1 5 93 278 1 9 126 444 Sydney 17 Ring-(um P/Ii File Photo November 11 Results Swarthmore 16, W&L 6' Bridgewater 46, Catholic 33 Randolph-Macon 26, Hampden- Emory & Henry 34, Maryville 17 Greensboro 35, Guilford 20 l l NCAA Division III Playoffs First Round (November 18) Western Maryland at Emory & Henry Bridgewater at Washington & Jefferson x-2000 ODAC Champions NEUTRAL ZONE.

The Bush campaign’s polls had indicated, in fact, that G.W. was poised to win popular election, but likely to lose the Electoral College; thus, the Bush folk had flooded the media with rhetoric about making sure that the “VV1ll of the People” would be respected. Now, those very same people are trum- peting that the integrity of the Constitution must be pre- served. Whatever ends up happening to Bush is irrel- evant, what truly holds significance is how the United States government deals with the situation.» The situation in Florida is unique in the history of our country. Although presidential races have been close in previous years, two anomalies have arisen that make the case in Florida completely unprecedented: barrages of lawyers and a borderline monkey-retarded media. The media incorrectly reported the results of Florida not once, but twice in the course of the election night, which stirred up trouble in both the Bush and Gore carn- paigns. The second time the media called the election, they spurred Gore into making a concession call to Bush. Now, I can only imagine what Al Gore said when he had to call Bush back, “You know, George, how I said all that stuff about this being a good race, and the better candidate winning. . . well, I was just kidding — screw \dH'A1% wt? wit” BMichael Critenden CONTRIBUTING EDITOR In response to a phone call I received this week from two loyal readers, Mr. Sterchi and Mr. Radcliffe, I have decided to choose this week’s beer based on its compatability with seafood dishes, specifically a lobster and brie cheese bisque. Though I know I didn’t get back to you guys in time for your dinner, for future reference, the right beer for the meal would be the Shipyard Brewing Co. ’s Summer Ale. Another beer hailing from the fine state of moose, lob- ster, and skiing, Shipyard’s Summer Ale is modeled after classic Bavarian wheat beers. A paradigm of the traditional American wheat beer that has cropped (sorry, bad pun) up in the last 20 years, Summer Ale has a less aggressive taste than its Bavarian counterparts. For those looking for a clean, cool taste, its inviting golden color, mellow malted wheat flavor and less hoppy characteristics are the perfect comple- ment. Brewed with Hallertau hops and Two-row British Munich, Pale—Ale and malted wheat malts, Shipyard Sum- starring ryan truax A i’~rri<-»°~1- WI‘ you!” I I mean, Gore probably got a good chuckle out of the entire affair, but the fact that he was put into that position by the media’s irresponsible reporting wasn’t fair. People in states on the West Coast, too, may have been influenced strongly by the results of the elections on the East Coast —— and the media’s misrepresenta- tion —- no let’s not kid ourselves, blatant dumbassity — of the voting results could have completely thrown the election the other way. Some right-wing pundits have even claimed that media’s coverage was part of a vast liberal, Holly- wood conspiracy to oust the Republicans from their position of power. Of course, most of the people who say that are kooks. . . The second major election anomaly is that the elec- tion has now been put out of the control of the Ameri- can people and into the control of money-grubbing, power-pining lawyers. The biggest post-election night news on the various candidates was which lawyers and how many of them were being dispatched to Florida to represent the Bush and Gore campaigns. The legal battles over the recounts, the confusing bal- lots, and the legitimacy of the entire election of Florida might just decide who the next President will be. While the letter of the law must obeyed, it should L, Q5 «swam-...a-I not be twisted and exploited like a pair of used edible underwear. And as everyone who is familiar with the O.J. Simpson trial knows, lawyers are prettydamn good at doing exactly that. There have been very few elections in American history in which the votes of its citizens have counted ‘ for so much and for so little. In states such as Florida, Wisconsin, and Oregon the margins between Bush and Gore have been mere thousands of votes and in Florida’s case, less than 500 votes separated the two candidates. . If just a few more American citizens had exercised their God- and Veteran- given right to vote, the country would not be in the dispute it is facing now. Yet under our country’s Electoral College system, the fact that Gore received more of the popular vote is irrelevant. Now, the race for the position of president is won through playing a huge game of geopolitical Risk, rather than trying to win over the support of the entire American populace. I It is ironic that the entire election has boiled down to the legal battle over a single ballot, in a single county, in a single state and the only thing left for the American people to do is to watch the “Exclusive, All-Encom- passing Election Coverage on Prirne—Tirne Television.” But then again, it could be worse: we could live in Canada, eh? i ll ”* ?. ~ ..A‘ ‘mars. : - ‘'7'’ watt $‘FATE« 13*? fiéEJ:u:3T;:_3— §":fi,::§§§:%rE§R,§§ E ..

The beer is best served with a lemon or lime, and brings back memories of warm summer nights at Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth, grilling on the l940’s— era carrrp grills and hanging with friends. First brewed in 1995, Summer Ale is brewed from April-August and is available in both 12 02. bottles and kegs, not in the usual 22 oz. bottles that Shipyard offers almost every other beer in their repertoire. Originally founded as Federal Jack’s Brew Pub in Kennebunk, Maine, Shipyard moved to a four—acre plot on Newbury St. in Portland, Maine in 1994, on the very site where famed American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born. The brewery has undergone three expansions and now produces over 85,000 barrels of beer a year. In 1996 the company opened the first rnicrobrewery and brewpub in an airport at the Orlando International Airport. _ Available in the Northeast and in Florida, I give Ship- yard a 17 out of 20 on the recentered “Yai-Craig” beer scale. A great beer for seafood dinners, and especially bisques, Shipyard Summer Ale is another in the long line of finely crafted Maine beers. I know, I know, I have to branch out, which is why in my next column I will be reviewing the local pub/bar Traveller’s for their beer se- lection and ambiance. Once again, I appreciate all phone calls and emails with suggestions for future beer col- umns. Any ideas, email me at crittendemn@wlu.edu, and until next time, tip one back for me. :: W3‘.
