both New York City and Washington,

, “Seeing all the people that
died, all the families, it’s so tragic.
I didn’t like the feeling of being
o helpless,” Kim said.
With assistance from Dean of
Freshmen Dawn Watkins, she orga-
0 nized a relief fund drive on campus
because organizing an immediate
5 blood drive was nearly impossible.
The fundraiser, held last
Thursday in front of the Co-op,
Praised almost $900.
“During this kind of situation, you
V tend to feel so negative about the world

b

and pessimistic about human nature,”
said Kim. “Knowing that there are so
many good people who are willing to
be so generous with their time and re-
sources is very heartening.”

Fundraising efforts will con-
tinue indefinitely.

Collection jars will soon be
placed in locations such as Evans Din-
ing Hall, the University Center, local
stores, churches and the fraternity and
sorority houses.

Watkins will write the Red Cross
one large check for the combined efforts.

“It has been a pleasure work-
ing with Tran,” she said. “I was ex-
cited to see a freshman step out and
work hard on this project.

“She is surely an asset to the
Class of 2005 and Washington and

Kim informed the campus of

1AA chapter meets
-on W&L campus

. Meetings provide students help for addiction

BY DAPHNE TRAINOR
STAFF WRITER

Q A local chapter of the nationwide
Alcoholics Anonymous organization
Q. has added itself to the list of services
devoted to the well—being of W&L’s
Q student body.

Those interested now have the
option of attending meetings at
Fairfax Lounge.

Alcoholics Anonymous is an
international organization for men
‘ and women struggling with a drink-

ing problem. Membership is open

to anyone.
1 According to the organization’s
website, AA “is nonprofessional,
p self—supporting, nondenominational,
multiracial, apolitical, and available

5 almost everywhere.”

There are no age or education re-

. quirements.
Although AA was already pro-
viding services in the Lexington-
' . Rockbridge area to students as well
as community members, this is the
Q first time that meetings will be held

V on campus.
g The organization’s meetings
have been well received by many.

Junior Will Coffman, the only
p student member of the Alcohol
Task Force established last year,
said AA meetings are an option

It

 

 

open to those who think they may
need help.

“(The meetings) are a good
outlet for anyone who thinks they
need to go or who just wants to see
what (the meetings) are like,” he
said.

Although the Task Force was
not directly responsible for bringing
the AA meetings to campus, it had
previously recommended an in-
crease in substance-control options
on campus.

The Task Force lends its full sup-
port to the meetings.

W&L Health Educator Jan
Kaufman, the driving force be-
hind these meetings, considers
AA to be an excellent resource
for “students [who] are unsure
whether or not they have a prob-
lem or are concerned about their
level of drinking.”

Kaufman said the meetings can
help identify whether an addiction
problem exists or not.

“Attending a few meetings will
provide the answer to the question ‘am
I addicted?”’ she said.

While some say that the
University’s focus has been on pun-
ishment and regulations, the addition
of AA meetings on campus draws the
focus back to the students them-
selves, Kaufman added.

Students will have an opportunity
to donate on campus next month. Chi
Psi fraternity will sponsor a drive in
the Doremus Gym on Tuesday, Octo-
ber 23, from noon to 6 pm.

This drive should be the first of
several, said N abor’s Service League
President Carroll Thompson.

“NSL is fullywsupportive of
(the blood drives),” Thompson
said. “This is something
that...seems especially important in
light of recent events.”

But collections and blood drives
aren’t the only campus efforts.

Last Wednesday, Evans Dining
Hall sponsored “Skip a Meal,” a pro-
gram that donates the money other-
wise spent on meals. Greg Pearce,
associate director and executive chef
at D—Hall, said the participation of
460 students raised approximately
$1035 earmarked for the Red Cross.

Three freshmen toss-
ing a football on their
dorm hall accidentally
knocked out a sprinkler
head last Thursday, flood-
ing the second floor of
Graharn-Lees.

“We were trying to get
a hall-length pass,” fresh-
man Trent Hawthorne said.
Hawthorne, who was on
the receiving end of the
pass, jumped into his room
for towels after the water
began rushing out.

The incident happened
at about 9:30 pm in the se-
curity-side of Graham—Lees,
alsoatfecting somefirst—floor
rooms. No one was injured
and the only damages re-
ported included soaked rugs,
towels and laundry.

Junior Dan Tortora,
the hall’s dorm counselor,
was in his room watching a
movie when he heard some-
thing that sounded like a
fire extinguisher going off.

,“The sprinkler head
was shooting out a nasty,
smelly, gray water,” he
said. “You could barely
see because of the trust. It
smelled like a rainforest.”

Tortora immediately
called University Security
and the Physical Plant.

Hawthorne said
someone from the Physical
Plant tried to turn off the
streaming water by hitting
the sprinkler head.

“The (Physical Plant)
guy hit the sprinkler head
with a doorstop or some-
thing to try and divert the
water,” Hawthorne said,
“but then it came out
three— or four-tirnes worse,
all on his head.”

“It was a mess,” said
Director of University

took a while to shut off
the water.”

Young said the water

Students frequenting the Snack Bar or GHQ
are finding higher prices and fewer choices.
Both campus dining locations have
trimmed their menus and raised prices to cover
costs. The GHQ drastically reduced the num-
ber entrees, offering fewer than 10 items. The
GHQ lost nearly $50,000 last year. Dining Ser-
vices Director Gerry Darrell estimates that
W&L’s only choice for restaurant-style dining
lost more than half of its business to meal plans
at the new sorority houses. As a result, only the
most popular items, such as the Colonnade Club
Sandwich, were kept.
Darrell added that the cuts were necessary
to keep the GHQ open, and that a few new items
were added.
“We were really getting hammered,” Darrell
said. “There was talk of closing the GHQ, and
we came up with the menu to allow us to reopen.”
Junior Myles Svendsen cats at the GHQ
several times each week. Svendsen said he was
shocked by the reduced menu size.
“There’s basically nothing on the menu
now,” Svendsen said.
Dining Services has also attempted to boost
the number of GHQ patrons. Last year, fresh-
men were allowed to eat one meal per week in
the GHQ. This was raised to three per week
after last year’s losses.
The Snack Bar has also felt the squeeze
of dining services. Specialty items, such as the
black bean burger, were removed from the
menu. Prices have also gone up-10-20 cents

VMI cade s  
assault PiKA

BY JONATHAN WORTIIAM
STAFF WRITER

Virginia Military Institute cadets attacked two Wash-
ington and Lee students and one alumnus early Saturday
Sept. 15 at Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, witnesses said.

Scott Hook ‘00 said two plain-clothed males
“mooned” the PiKA house through the living-room win-
dows at around 2 a.m. Several sophomore PiKA brothers
went outside to assess the situation. Hook followed.

PiKA had a party earlier that evening, which was bro-
ken up by the police. The house was almost empty and
campus security had left before 2 a.m.

Hook said he and his sopho-
more brothers shook hands with the
men, who introduced themselves as
VMI cadets. Soon after, a cadet ran
through the group and started swing-
ing atone of the PiKA sophomores.

Hook took a step toward the
fight in confusion, he said, and was
slammed against the house mother’s
door. After having his head knocked
against the door, Hook fell to the
ground unconscious. Witnesses say
that the cadet who was beating the sophomore PiKA
dropped him to begin punching Hook in the head.

There are still bloodstains on the house mother’s door.

Hook was treated at Stonewall Jackson Hospital for
a fractured jaw and a lost tooth. His jaw is wired shut,
forcing him to drink from a straw for the next six weeks.
Hook worked as an event marketer, where he visited col-
leges to talk and distribute pamphlets. Since he is unable
to smile and talk to people, he had to quit.

Later that morning, W&L junior John Polena, a PiKA
brother, was also attacked by plain-clothed cadets behind the
Beta Theta Pi fraternity house. He lost two front teeth and was
treated at Stonewall Jackson Hospital, where he saw Hook.

Hook, who worked in New York City and witnessed
the World Trade Center attack, said he came to Lexington
to take a break from the chaos.

“I would never fight anyone in a million years,” he
said. “There’s no reason to do it, especially after 5,000
people died only three days before.”

VMI Public Relations Director Chuck Steenburgh
said that he was not aware of this specific situation.

“Any conduct that discredits VMI and the Corps of
Cadets is taken very seriously,” he said. “Both the Corps
of Cadets and VMI have their own methods of discipline,
and both are equally serious.” '

When asked what punishment would be rendered
in a scenario like this one, Steenburgh said that he
could not comment.

The case could go before VMI’s Officer of the Guard
Association, in which the likely punishment would be four
months of confinement and other service duties, said a
VMI first classman (senior). It could also go before the
Honor Court, the Corps’ highest disciplinary board. If

Dining services
cuts menus, services

on most sandwiches and 10-30 cents on spe-
cialty drinks such as Stewart’s sodas. Pizza was
raised from $1.50 to $2 per slice. Snack Bar
Manager Jeff Lynn said all increases were
small, and were necessary to offset price in-
creases by suppliers.

“All increases are a direct result of price
increases to us from our vendors,” Lynn said.

Some students were upset about the re-
duced selection of healthier items such as the
black bean burger and turkey burger. Sopho-
more Joe Mueller, a vegetarian, said he almost

ate at the Snack Bar.

“I was kind of upset about it,” Mueller said.
“It’s nice to have more choices.”

Although the price increases and smaller
menus might be necessary to cover costs, Din-
ing Services cannot explain their huge markup
on wholesale prices. Lynn admitted that the
Snack Bar charges 50 percent over cost for sand-
wiches and prepared food, and anywhere from
60-80 percent over cost for snacks. By contrast,
Stop In Convenience Store charges approxi-
mately 30 percent over cost. A Nature’s Valley
granola bar, which costs 75 cents at the Snack
Bar, can be bought for only 49 cents at Stop In.

Dining Services Associate Director Gre-
gory Pearce said dining services takes great care
in pricing its selections, and that such dispari-
ties in price are rare.

“I’d say that across the board, you get bet-
ter deals with us,” Pearce said.

must make more money than is necessary to

found guilty, the cadets would be expelled. Due to restric-

The first classman said the incident has been “hush-
hush” around barracks. He said the cadets responsible
have high-ranking friends in the regiment.
“Somebody’s lying, because the stories are differ-
ent,” the first classman said. He asked not to be identified.

“No VMI [cadets] will be allowed in our parties from
now on,” Malone said.

Hook sent a letter to University Security Director
Mike Young, W&L Acting President Larry Boetsch and
VMI Commandant Col. Eric Hutchings, asking for help in
identifying the responsible cadets. Young forwarded the
letter to Lexington Police Department, which has a sepa-
rate investigation pending.

Alison Trinidad also contributed to this story.

The university requires that dining services must
make more money than is necessary to cover costs. Din-
ing services sets a goal to meet all its costs and return an
extra 10 percent to the university. Pearce said these mon-
ies are not profit.

“lt’s more like a contribution,” he said.

Pearce cited the attempts to keep the GHQ open,
new menu items and the new meal plan options as ex-

dents.

reserve had to empty. He said the re-
served water smelled badly because
it had stood so long in the pipes.

Tortora said two guys had
stripped to their boxers within 10
minutes of the rupture and dove
into the water. Female freshmen
from the third floor came down with
cameras, he said.

A group—effort clean-up had tow-
els hanging out to dry the next day.

“It was really cool, because the
whole dorm came with mops to help

out,” Hawthorne said. “At least a
dozen people were pushing mops. The
girls from the third floor started a towel
collection for the guys.”

Both Dean of Freshmen Dawn
Watkins and the Physical Plant sys-
tems director carne to help clean up.

“Dean Watkins was soaked,” said
freshman Jesse Cook.

Cook was taking a Spanish
test in his room when the sprin-
kler broke.

“Black water just started pouring
under the door,” he said.

Cook waited until the water

had subsided before leaving his
room and, instead, blocked his
door with a towel and a load of
laundry. He said Tortora instant
messaged him to make sure every-
thing was all right.

As of yet, no disciplinary action
has been taken. Young said Security
knows has not had a chance to speak
to the responsible party. Tortora said
the freshmen are apologetic and
should not be punished harshly.

“It was just a bunch of guys play-
ing football,” he said. “We’re going
to play lacrosse from now on.”

 

Laptop stolen

Two weeks ago a computer was stolen from sopho-
more Corinne Mathieu. Her Dell laptop was taken from her
carrel at Leybum Library, a facility continuously open to
the public.

Last year there were 17 burglaries into locked facili-
ties, in addition to the theft of 18 bicycles left unlocked
and unattended.

Director of Security Mike Young credits the
university’s strong honor system with such low numbers.
However, most thefts occur where the public has access.

Young warns, “If it’s important to you, don’t leave it
alone!”

TAFF EDITORIAL

W&L’s next president, and
why students shouldn’t
expect to help select him

Members of the student body rightly com-
plain that they have little to no influence in the
selection of Washington and Lee’s 23rd presi-
dent. The “listening forums” held in Lee Chapel
are open jokes. The president should be “hon-
est,” “fair to fraternities,” “understanding.” Not
much to argue there.

Including one undergraduate on a faculty-
dominated Presidential Search Committee is a
token gesture. Reminiscent of the Alcohol Task
Force, that single student is adrift in the cur-
rents of professorial and administrative agen-
das, with minimal power to steer the process to
student interests.

Besides, no matter how influential a student
 could be, how can he begin to adequately repre-
. j  sent his 1700 undergraduate peers? And could the

. Board of Trustees afford for him to represent us?
I Consider the president’s duties. As Presi-
 dent of the Corporation of Washington and Lee,
_ he is its chief executive officer. He is the only
‘  member of the Board of Trustees who does
,, not need to seek reelection after five years, or
is limited to two consecutive terms. He is ex
ofiicio chairman of the faculty and appoints
and is a consulting member of its committees.
W And five deans, three directors, two vice presi-
i dents, and the university counsel report to him.
From admissions to discipline, the Presi-
 dent can mold the student body, encouraging or
; discouraging certain types of behavior--say, al-
:14 cohol consumption.

It is very possible that the Board will look for
an enforcer to lay down the law for the new al-
cohol policies. There are precedents. Many be-
‘ lieve that Dean of Students David Howison was
f brought in to strong-armthe Fraternity Renais-
I sance.

 And it is not merely for convenience that we
 have been using the masculine pronoun. We can
be almost certain that the next president will be a
. married white Protestant male, over fifty, from an

ing wrong with any of this. We’re just not expect-
ing anything else. And since the office demands
national standing, expect a politician who has never
been publicly wrong or inconveniently right.

W’s masterful spech inspires

I hope that Americans, on both
sides of the aisle, now realize that they
elected a strong, decisive, purpose-
ful President. George W. Bush is cer-
tainly the right man for the job. Even
his worst detractors and harshest crit-
ics must acknowledge that his ad-
dress to the nation on Thursday night
was a brilliant performance.

Without question the best—deliv—
ered speech of his career, Thursday’s
address should be remembered by
history as a defining moment in Ameri-
can oratory. The content was beauti-
fully written, both forceful and fair, de-
livering a strong message, expressing
sympathy for the victims, and boldly
announcing America’s firm resolve to
defeat the terrorist threat.

He was resolute. “Our grief has
turned to anger, and anger to resolu-
tion.” Expressing both sorrow and
esteem for the fire and police men who
gave their lives, Bush told Americans
that we must refocus our energies to
ensure that this never happens again.

The speech was constructed to
answer America’s questions. Why did
this happen? “They hate what they
see in this chamber: a democratically
elected government.” Bush attempted
to put in understandable terms the
sheer madness that would drive some-
one to commit such an act. He ex-

plained that, “They hate our free-
doms.”

How are we going to respond.
The President pointed out that,
“Americans should not expect one
battle, but a lengthy campaign unlike
any other we have seen.” This war is
not about revenge. America has no
bloodlust and our military will make
every effort to avoid civilian casual-
ties. That is why the
President delivered
our demands to the
Taliban. They had
they option to end
this war without any further blood-
shed. Instead, they have chosen to
reject out proposals for peace and “will
share in their fate.”

There have been and will be no
hastily designed missile attacks to
placate those calling for blood. The
President has directed our military to
conduct an operation that will not end
until terror is exterrninated.

RIGHT or THE AISLE
 America’s resolve

The best line came about halfway
through. ‘”I'hey’re heirs to all of the mur-
derous ideologies of the twentieth cen-
tury. By sacrificing human life to serve
their radical visions, by abandoning
every value except the will to power,
the follow in the path of fascirn, Nazism,
and totalitarianism. And they will fol-
low that path all the way to where it
ends in history’s unmarked grave of dis-
carded lies.”

The President
yet again announced

and, simultaneously,
drew a line in the sand between our
righteous campaign for justice and the
despicable attacks on innocent civil-
ians. Moreover, he reassured Ameri-
cans by comparing the al Qaeda ter-
ror network to the enemies we have

faced in _the past. Although hidden,

there exists an enemy that we will seek
out an defeat no more definitively
than we defeated the Nazis or Impe-

rial Japan. Bin Laden is not that dif-
ferent from Hitler or Tojo; we will find
him and he will be killed.

What was most noticeable, and
most meaningful, however, was the
honesty with which the speech was
delivered. President Bush truly
meant every word, and the tears that
welled up in his eyes when he held
aloft the policeman’s badge were
not for show, but were a genuine
display of emotion.

Unlike his predecessor, who
would have bit his lip and professed
that he felt our pain, President Bush
truly does sympathize. His emotions,
his concern, his anger, and his reso-
lution, came through in his speech
and no one doubted their genuine-
ness.

After President Bush’s address,
America can be certain that the ter-
rorism will be exterminated. As he said,
“We will not tire, we will not falter and
we will not fail.”

Letters to the Editor

America must respect mosques, etc.

Dear Editor,

I disagree with Kirwan’s statement that “externiinat—
ing” those responsible for terrorism must inlcude,
among other things, destroying their places of worship.
In fact, destroying their places of worship is a danger-
ous move as it could possibly be interpreted by the
Islamic world as an anti—Muslim statement. ‘Instead, let
us show that we understand the difference between
Islam as a religion and the terrorists who happen to be
Islamic, and leave the places of worship alone. Destroy-
ing mosques is analogous to destroying churches
because the KKK claims to be Christian. Places of
worship are sacred expressions of human spirituality
and as such should be respected.

Sincerely,
Julie Fitzer ‘O3

Student recalls friends who perished in WTC

Dear Editor,

On August 28, as I was departing from my first visit to
New York City, in Penn Station, I noticed a Jew in traditional
dress, a Hassid I think, and I watched him for a few seconds as
he descended an escalator.

Iremember thinking to myself that if only we could under-
stand why this man is what he is, why he goes this way and
not that, why he wears black and not white, then we would
know everything. But that was an idle thought, probably
extraneous to what I’m trying to say.

A few days before I was at a family friend’s house in New
Jersey having dinner with a New Yorker, a Jewish man, and his
wife. Idrankbeer, and everyone else drankwine. The man was
what you could call stereotypical, and he reminded me of the
scene from Annie Hall. He’s a real Jew, I thought to myself.

Maybe I’m a bigot for thinking that, but I did, and there’s

TALl<BAc1<:

no use getting away from the truth. He was affable and gre-
garious, and we discussed his daughter’s lack of academic
direction, the frustrations of working in large corporations,
and the beauty of the Semitic languages. He showed us the
pictures from his family’s trip to India. I found out a few days

ago that he worked in the World Trade Center and did not,

escape.

And yet much dearer to me is my friend and brother James
Gadiel, newly employed in the firm of Cantor Fitzgerald, of
whom my memories are all happy. I didn’t meet up with James
in the city; he was an entry—level broker and didn’t have much
time, I guess, but then I didn’t really try. The last time I saw him
was Fancy Dress. We ate at the same table, he and Mary side
by side as usual.

Of these three Jewish men, the first will remain unknown
to me; the last two are brought together in a mountain of
destruction. I was going to end this by saying goodbye to the
dead in their ancestral tongue.

But the only word I know for that is Shalom, which I think
also means “peace,” something that was robbed from them in
their final moments, and that may not be afforded to us who
carry on the memory of these days.

Sincerely,
William Martin ‘03

Representative Lee is not a coward

Dear Editor,

I would not characterize Representative Lee as a cow-
ard. An unpopular stance does not automatically makes
one a coward. In fact, I would be more inclined to charac-
terize the holder of an unpopular stance, such as Lee, as a
brave person who is not afraid to stand up for
her principles.

Sincerely,
Julie Fitzer ‘O3

Patriotism  
Isn’tantI-Muslim

Americans must reject senseless hatred

The events of Tues., Sept. 11, 200 l—and the en-
suing days since then—have forced us all to go to bed
every night as a nation of one. No longer can we act
only for ourselves; whether we like it or not, we are a
nation at war.

Not a conventional war by any means, but a war
where the greatest enemy is the unknown. We must
unite in the face of evil by showing resilience against
the enemy. I ask you to unite against one of the enemy’s
friends, unjustified violence.

As you read this, know that in this land‘ of the
free and the brave, there are people who wish it
were otherwise. Someone shot to death Waqar
Hasan, a
storeowner in Dal-
las, Texas. Some-
one murdered
Balbir Singh Sodhi,
a gas station owner in Mesa, Arizona. Someone
killed Adel Karas, a market owner in San Gabriel,
California.

Each of these three gentlemen was an American.
Only one of them was Muslim: Mr. Hasan. Mr. Sodhi, a
Sikh, and Mr. Karas, a Christian, died because they
looked like stereotypical Muslims with their dark skin
and dark hair.

The man who charged with shooting Mr. Sodhi,
Frank S. Roque, said as he was being arrested, “I’m a
patriot. I’m a damn American all the way,” as quoted
in the New York Times. Mr. Roque is no patriot: real
Americans believe in the sanctity of life, and display
that by supporting punishments for those who kill
others.

_ Today, just like yesterday, and just like tomorrow,
we will live with the shadow of last Tuesday’s despi-
cable acts of cowardice. Our hearts still grieve, and we
yearn to heal our wounds.

We are all suffering, and our lives will never be
quite the same for what has happened. Yet, we cannot
let this emotional heartbreak fuel a fire of hatred within
ourselves. ,

President Kennedy once wrote, “Those who
cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat
it.” In 19205 Germany, a proud and once strong
people were angered by the ridiculously low living
conditions brought about by the ruins of war. This
anger led them to accept the leadership of a man
named Adolf Hitler, who went on to lead the Ger-
mans into another horrific war, duringwhich he mas-

RIGHTTIIING RESPONSE

’ sacred 11 million people. We all know that Hitler

blamed and justified his acts on the Jews, who were
by and large innocent of the charges Hitler leveled
against them.

America in the year 2001 is very different from
19205 Germany, but the same anger and feeling of des-
peration is present. We have a very easy scapegoat in
the Muslims of America.

President George W. Bush recently visited the Is-
lamic Center of Washington, D.C., and while he was
there, he made some very courageous and necessary
statements. Among them he said, “The face of terror is
not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is
about. Islam is peace.” President Bush further noted
that America counts millions of Muslims amongst its
citizens, and they make an “incredibly valuable contri-
bution to our country.”

He reminded us that, “in our anger and emotion,
our fellow Americans must treat each other with re-
spect.”

Most importantly, President Bush emphasized that
American Muslims must feel safe. He said they should
not be fearful while they shop for their families, while
they go about their daily routines. Our ancestors fought
long and hard for this freedom of life; let us not destroy
it ourselves.

The core values of Washington and Lee Univer-
sity are honor, leadership, and learning. We can and
should apply these values to every aspect of our lives.
In doing so, we will heed the advice of our President
and uphold our freedom.

Let us be honorable by behaving as gentlemen
and ladies, as General Robert E. Lee taught during his
presidency at W&L. Gentlemen and ladies do not make
others feel unsafe or uncomfortable as a result of their
actions; rather, the true mark of a gentleman and a lady
is that they make others feel at ease.

Let us be leaders, by not stooping to the level of
the terrorists and using violence to vent our anger and
ease our pain. Let us be learners, by ensuring that our
actions be lessons worth remembering.

America will survive, and we will be strong. To-
gether, we will fight our unknown enemy, and we will
destroy it. We shall unite together as a country. “We”
must mean all Americans.

It’s unduly amusing to observe
and study the ways in which W&L
has changed since my freshman
year. By amusing, I mean slightly
disturbing.

Our revered bubble has morphed
so greatly in the last few years that I
tentatively hypothesize that we will
be attracting a completely different

; group of perspectives in the years to

come.
I have been doing extensive re-

‘ search outside the

Co—op, a.k.a. the
Cooperational Fa-
cility of Glory, and
have taken note of
the following transformations and/
or annoying nuances:

1.) The Lexington Police, I’m
not even kidding, have a Wanted
Dead or Alive poster of me in their
headquarters. I can’t go a mere week
without getting pulled over, typi-
cally for “drunk driving” while I’m
sober.

But if not that, there’s always a
whole plethora of moving violations

that can peg me with. My favorite
was when after I blew a zero on the
breathalyzer, an unnamed officer
said, “You know your gas tank door
is broken. How long has it been this
way?”

I’ m sure the only reason he didn’t
give me a ticket for this was because
he probably saw another W&L driver
whose car looked suspiciously colle-
giate.

2.) There has been rampant cell
phone usage inun-
dating the campus
of late. The

school is so small

that I imagine the
only conceivable conversation could
be, “You’re in Payne? No kidding! I’m
in Newcomb! Huh!”

Anyone at the other end of the
line, because of geographical and de-
mographic statistics I don’t care to
go into, would be within 50-foot ra-
dius of you.

3.) After a careful examination of
last Saturday morning, I noticed some
differences between tailgating last

Uiiiivions

year and this year.

Logistically speaking, it’s a lot
harder to maneuver around this
year because you’re limited to walk-
ing up and down sorority row, with
no freedom to roam and frolic like
deer in a meadow. In addition, the
capricious social attitude was some-
what lacking, a mentality that fu-
els the success of Parents’ Week-
end.

4.) All the construction going
on is making me nervous. And my
sympathies extend to the J -school
students who are forced to have
their classes in such small quar-
ters.

I guess there’s a certain
ironic sweetness to being able to
say, after you’re a world-re-
nowned journalist, that you
learned everything you know in
a trailer park.

5.) D—hall prices went up. I
long for the days of slithering into
the D—hall for Sunday brunch,
swiping my unlimited meal plan
card, and eating 14 or 15 bowls of

cereal.

My roommates and I went this
year, and we each all had to part with
$7 to eat a peanut butter and jelly
on a bagel.

I guess dietary habits have
changed in the past couple of
years, too, proportionate with D-
hall inflation.

6.) Last, but not least, the new
alcohol policies. I absolutely will
not go into a ranting and raving
diatribe.

Actually, I’m not going to say
anything at all about it. Just that it’s
definitely changed a degree of the
W&L lifestyle.

It’s a rough time to be a joumal-
ist around here. It’s like walking on
eggshells talking about alcohol here.
Everyone’s sick of hearing about it.
No one wants to antagonize the ad-
ministration. Good thing I changed
my major.

I’m not really complaining. None
of the aforementioned differences
have kept me awake at night; I’m just
asserting how much, in the span of

of survival of the fittest. Years from prices.

This week’s topics for an editorial were limitless. But
it was not until a friend pointed out a small mention on the
front page of Friday’s Wall Street Journal that I decided to
do some digging into a particular organization.

I decided to take a look at the American Conserva-
tive Union, and I realized that even in a time where our
nation should be united, party lines are still first on some
people’s minds.

During a time when our Republican President is plead-
ing with Congress to stay unified, the ACU is planning a
mud slinging ad campaign against Democrats. The sub-
ject of this campaign is the controversial national missile-
defense system.

The ads will take the names of certain Democrats
that are against the treaty-breaking defense network, say-
ing the following: “Do you know (your Democratic rep-
resentative here) is trying to prevent President Bush from
protecting America?”

The real truth here is that these Democrats are attempt-
ing to keep America from throwing money at missile defense
when our money could be much better spent at the moment.

What’s more, we all saw the protests and heard the words
of Europe’s political leaders against this missile—defense sys-
tem. Many of these Democrats are realizing that building this
system, which Russia has stated would make all treaties we
hold with them null and void, is just bad politics.

In an international society such as our little planet,
you simply cannot do whatever you want because you
have the money to throw at a problem.

Money. Now I am no economist, but that is an inter-
esting topic at the moment. Does America have then
money to spend on this defense system right now?

Well, have you seen the performance
of the Dow since it reopened? Miserable,
as to be expected. All this in a time when
people are driving around with bumper stick-
ers stating, “Thank me for your tax refund. I
voted for Bush.”

Honestly, I think that money would be better suited in
the hands of the government now. No tax refund could
serve as the kick in the pants the economy needs right now.

Again, I am going to remind everyone that Congress
was telling the White House before all this occurred that
the $9 million Social Security surplus was needed just to
balance our budget this year.

Thus, we have a problem. We as a nation are now to
largely fund an international war on terrorism. It sounds like
a great idea. However, it seems impossible and very costly.

Now do not think that I have no respect for the im-
portance of our military. My sister who is an Ensign for
the United States Navy would have my head on a plate.

I am also not stating that we should not make some

 
 

""""""""" ”LEfF7§i5CEi§i~El"

sort of military strike against Osama bin Laden’s terrorist
regimes and the nations that we know are harboring them.

However, the full reach of his network is yet to be deter-
mined yet. The Bush administration is currently at odds over
who all is to blame. Some are saying get bin Laden, while others
are wondering if Iraq is not also to blame. There is still as of
now, too many unanswered questions.

I am saying the members of the Ameri-
can Conservative Union should remem-

NICHOLAS RAMSEY ‘O3 ber the words of the President in his ad-

dress Thursday night. “We will direct ev-
ery resource at our command — every means of diplomacy,
every tool of intelligence, every instrument of law enforce-
ment, every financial influence, and every necessary
weapon of war — to the destruction and the defeat of the
global terror networ 
What the American Conservative Union does not
realize that this is not solely a military battle. We are
seeking people in shadows, hiding in all places, and
troops, bombs, and aircraft, may prove to be part of
the solution, but our military alone cannot win this
war. A war that Bush himself stated is against more
than ninety nations holding terrorists.
We have them in our own borders. We cannot forget
the deadly bombing in Oklahoma City where a male, white,
American citizen attacked his own countrymen. Terror-

ists are everywhere, which is what is most frightening.

Meanwhile, the ACU is stating Democrats will sup-
port “meaningless treaties and (continue to) confer moral
equivalence on the nation’s enemies.”

While the grassroots organization states it realizes that
this would in no way protect against the type of attack Ameri-
cans saw on the September 11, they say should serve as a
wake—up that missile-defense is needed. I am not so sure.

The days ahead will prove to be among the most diffi-
cult that Washington has every seen. As the President said,
we need to employ all our resources of diplomacy, intelli-
gence, finance, law enforcement, and national defense.

The ACU needs to understand that at this point, ,

America’s resources can be infinitely better served
in these places rather than throwing more money at
controversial idea from the Reagan era. It remains
to be seen if a missile defense system will even work.

We do know, however, that our diplomacy with
our allies will work. We do know that investing more
money in our intelligence forces will work. We do know
that the power of the dollar is vital as a weapon against
these terrorist networks.

We also know that our current weapons of war can

be well employed in this battle. But most importantly, we .

know that a nation of united elected officials working
together is the best weapon America has.

Customs, new freshman orientation program, starting slow in its first year
of inception, lacks attendaoe by new students

AGAINSTNAIURE

STAFF WRITER

W&L’s admissions office has
consistently chosen a student body
composed of freshman who left high
school as active volunteers, captains
of sports teams, leaders in student
government, editors of school publi-
cations and much more. Many don’t
realize that the faculty and staff drawn
h L to our university also boast notable
A activities that would impress any col-

lege admissions board member.
Only night owls on campus
. would recognize one of these staff
p members: Wanda Pickle, the night

since the fall of 1995.
Pickle works from 12 to 8 a.m. as-
sisting patrons, checking items in and

support activities. Pickle conducts
,. searches and makes reports for ad-
rriinistrative use.

“I really like this job, andllike the

Pickle worked in a variety of occupa-

he Customs program is off to a rocky start, if Thursday

evening’s “Crimes Against Nature” presentation is any in-
dication. Although the event was pro moted heavily in the Cam-
pus Notices and in posters in the freshman dormitories, few
freshmen attended. Dean of Freshmen Dawn Watkins said that
the Customs program was suggested before she took office,
but acknowledged that it was her responsibility to carry it
through its inception.

Because many Customs programs are not
yet completed, Watkins did not know how many
freshmen are still eligible for the prizes that make
up the incentive program for Customs atten-
dance.

Watkins pointed out that the program was
being evaluated as it progressed, and she hoped
most freshmen had taken the opportunity to learn

42-10 Win

Centre pays back 2000 home loss

Colonels otaerl rol to

  

Centre College amassed 447 yards of
total offense Saturday as the Colonels ran
over Washington and Lee 42- 10.

The loss for the Generals (1-2) comes
after a solid performance last week against
Guilford in the home and Old Dominion
Athletic Conference opener in which the
Generals limited the Quakers to 201 yards
of total offense.

This week, however, was a different
ballgame altogether. The Generals totaled
only 166 yards of total offense on 63 plays
from scrimmage, only three fewer plays than
Centre. The difference in the game: the Gen-
erals were 0—12 on third down conversions.

“We just didn’t convert on third downs,”
said junior tight end Jay Thomas, who scored
W&L’s only touchdown on the afternoon.

W&L’s offensive performance was
unsettling. They just could not con-
vert the big plays. Sophomore Peter
Dean and freshman John Barnwell com-
bined for 81 yards passing and com-
pleted only eight passes on 28 attempts.
Sophomore Sean‘McGarvey completed
two of his three passes, including the

One year after getting trounced by Washington’ and
Lee at their own Farris Stadium in Danville, Ky., Centre
College had revenge on their minds Saturday. \

The Colonels avenged last season’s 45-7 loss, and then
some, by stomping the Generals 42-10 at Wilson Field.

“There was definitely revenge on our minds after get-
ting beaten so bad last year,” said senior quarterback Drew
Mildren, who completed 15-of-23 passes for 190 yards
and two touchdowns, both to classmate Joe Guthrie.

Centre jumped out to a 21-3 first quarter lead, extending
that to 35-3 by halftime. Coach Andy Frye, who earned his
first win against W&L in four tries, thought that his tearn’s a
momentum kept the Colonels rolling through the entire half.

“We got them early, and that was the big thing,” Frye
said. “We exploited the special teams early,. and we got
two big runs from Jeremy Britt. Before you know it, they’re
struggling like we were last year.” .,

Britt, a sophomore who joined the Colonels this year,
rushed for 150 yards, 130 of which came in the first half to
complement his two TD runs. Senior Brian Britt returned
an early punt 57 yards for a score and later intercepted a
pass from sophomore Peter Dean. 4

The younger Britt believed that his offensive line held
the Generals’ defense at bay every time he took the haridoff.

On Centre’s first possession of the
game, Britt ran 44 yards around the right

W&L score again, when McGarvey hit

total offense in the first half and 447 for the contest.

“Our offense is a lot better than it’s been the last three
years, but that’s because we’ve got a lot of seniors who’ve
matured,” Frye said. “Our running game has improved drasti-
cally, from being one-dimensional last year. We’re just better.”

The Colonels now return to Southern Collegiate Athletic
Conference play, where they meet another W&L opponent.

“Next week, we’ll be facing a tough Sewanee team, and
they’ll probably be undefeated too,” Mildren said. “It’ll
be a tough one. That’s the SCAC, and that’s important to
us for playoffs and everything like that.”

leyball team began its 2001 Old Do-
minion Athletic Conference sched-
ule with a pair of impressive victo-
ries over Emory and Henry on
Wednesday and Randolph-Ma-
con on Saturday morning.

The Generals defeated the
Wasps 30-22, 30-23, 30- 15, then doini—
nated most of their contest against
the Yellow Jackets, coming up with
a 30-19, 30-28, 30-17 victory.

“It’s a great start,” coach Bryan
Snyder said. “I’m glad because
Emory and Henry and Randolph-
Macon are not bottom-of-the-bar-
rel teams. Those are the teams nip-
ping at our heels and hungry to
knock us of .”

In Wednesday’s matchup, the
Generals (10-1, 2-0 ODAC) were led
by senior outside hitter Lindsay
Ruckert, who totaled 1 1 kills and five
digs.

Junior Stacey Kirnmel posted 10
kills and seven digs, while fresh-
man Emily Wolfing added 10 kills,
three aces, and 10 digs. Freshman
setter Jennifer Lux recorded 30 as-
sists.

eryone seemed to step up whenever
we needed some big plays.

“We have five great ‘offensive op-
tions, which takes pressure off of any
one player.”

The Generals received a number
of tremendous efforts to ensure a vic-
tory on Saturday.

W&L dominated play in the first
and third games, but met some fierce
resistance from the Yellow Jackets,
who reeled off a late run and at-
tempted to avoid a 2-0 deficit.

“We struggled in the second
game, but I think we handled the pres-
sure very well,” Snyder said. “When
they got the late rally, we took a timeout
and responded with a sideout. We
made key plays when we needed to.”

Ruckert and freshman Michelle
Chastain each amassed 10 kills, while
Ruckert added nine digs.

Kimmel played strong defense,
contributing five digs while adding
eight aces. Lux finished with 31 as-
sists.

“(Lux) has really done a great job,
taking control of the offense and
moving the ball well,” Snyder said.
“She’s been able to get everyone in-
volved on the court.”

ART OF THE BACKHAND: Senior Rhysjarnes delivers a backhand in a match in this
weekend’s W&L Fall Classic. W&L won one singles flight and one doubles flight
in an event against The College of Newjersey, Davidson and VMI.

BY IAN R. McILRoY
SI>oRrs WRITER

The Washington and Lee men’s tennis team faired
very well during its Fall Tennis Classic as the Gener-
als took one singles flight and one doubles flight
Saturday and Sunday.

Participating in the tournament were teams from
The College of New Jersey, VMI and Davidson.

“We knew the competition would be tougher
since VMI and Davidson are both Division I
squads,” coach David Detwiler said. “But we didn’t
feel any added pressure. We’ve got everyone back
(from last spring) and added even more depth to
the lineup with a good recruiting class.”

Freshman Marshall Viney took the champion-
ship of the No. 4 singles flight, defeating Rob Gould
of Davidson, 7-5, 6-2 in the finals.

In the No. 2 singles flight, sophomore K.C.
Schaeffer was the runner-up, dropping the champi-
onship match to Davidson’s Jonathan Britt, 6-2, 6-1.

Freshman Paul McClure was the runner-up in the
No. 3 singles flight, bested by Geoffrey Mullen of
Davidson, 6-2, 6-1, in the finals.

Also impressive in early round singles play,
sophomore Austin Kim made an amazing come-
back, winning a crucial third set tiebreaker by the
score of 8-6.

In the championship of the No. 2 doubles flight,
McClure and freshman Jeff Lusk took on their team-
mates in sophomore Graham Nix and senior Zac
Vuncarmon. After a heated match, the experienced
combo of Nix and Vuncannon emerged with a 9-8
(2) victory.

Detwiler has high expectations for his crew this year.

“We have the experience of having gone to na-
tionals last year, and we are eager to go back,” he
said. “Our goal as a squad is to finish the season in
the top eight nationally.”

The Generals, currently ranked 13th, return to
action on Oct. 6-8 in the ITA Southeast Regional -at
Swarthmore College.

Women’s soccer catches fire as ODAC play heats up

W&L improves to 4-1 in conference
play with a pair of 4-1 wins at home

BY GEOFF WHITE
SPORTS WRITER

The Washington and Lee women’s soccer team im-
proved to a four-game unbeaten streak Saturday by
soundly defeating Randolph-Macon Woman’s College.
Before Saturday’s match, the women beat a previously
undefeated Bridgewater team by" an overwhelming
score of 4-1.

Bridgewater drew first blood in Tuesday’s match only
eight rriinutes into the game. The Generals then opened
up their offense, assaulting the Eagles with four goals
before halftime.

Senior captain Kate Bidwell scored first for the Gener-
als. Sophomore Fontaine Marcoux then scored two rapid-
fire goals. The first was off an assist from freshman Rom-
ney Wilson, and the second was unassisted.

Sophomore Meghan Hayde finished the scoring in the
first half, and the halftime score of 4-1 did not change
throughout the second half. Freshman goalkeeper Emily
Barker made seven saves to ensure the win.

The women returned to action on Saturday against
Randolph-Macon Woman’s College. Barker had an
easier day this time, having to make only two saves for
the Generals.

The opposing goaltender saw a bit more action, stop-
ping 14 W&L shots and letting in four goals. In all, the
Generals unloaded 31 shots against the WildCats.

Bidwell scored first, assisted by Marcoux. The sopho-
more eamed another assist, helping classmate Susannah
Hewlett score her first goal of the season.

Sophomore midfielder Phil Miller
scored four goals in two games to
help propel the Washington and Lee
men’s soccer team into Old Domin-
ion Athletic Conference play and
give coach Rolf Piranian his 200th
career victory.

Piranian, a W&L alum who is in
his 26th year as head coach, holds
a 200-172-20 (.510) career record
and is the winningest coach in
W&L history.

junior goalie Brad Hearn said. “He’s
been here a long time and it’s great to
see him have the success he’s had.”

Miller quickly started his offensive
outburst in Thursday’s 2-1 victory
over Lynchburg. The 2000 ODAC
Rookie of the Year opened the scor-
ing on an unassisted goal at 24:34 of
the first half.

Miller extended the Generals’ lead
to 2-0 when he scored at the 63:29
mark, this time off an assist from fresh-
man defender Brian Pirkle.

the two goals by Miller provided all
the offense the Generals would need.

day, despite giving up a late
Lynchburg goal with less than 14 min-
utes to play.

On Saturday afternoon, Miller
picked up where he left off, scoring
another unassisted goal at the 37:00
mark to give the Generals a 1-0 lead
over Randolph-Macon.

The one goal provided plenty of
offense, as junior Tim Foley made nine
saves and earned his first shutout of
the young season. The shutout was
the 12th in his W&L career.

Miller cushioned the lead when he

Cunningham said.

Marcoux avenged the late goal, scoring one of her own
with 11 minutes left in the contest to provide the final
score of 4-1. Freshman Caroline Francht got the assist on
the final goal.

Marcoux, who now has seven assists this season, was
named the most recent Old Dominion Athletic Conference
Player of the Week.

The Generals (4- l , 4-l ODAC) will play Sweet Briar at
home on Monday at 4:30 p.m.

the 57:48 mark off an assist from
sophomore Bret Grote.

The victories on Thursday and Sat-
urday gave the Generals a quick 2-0
start in ODAC play and a strong
launching pad for the season.

“It’s a great stepping stone,” Hearn
said. “We had a rough start and
played some ugly games.

“Now we’re starting to play well
and I think we get better every time
we step on the field.”

W&L hopes to move their con-
ference record to 3-0 on Wednes-
day when they host Emory and
Henry at 4 p.m.
