Shockley Sept. 9 on nine felony counts of distribu- tion or transmission of sexually explicity materials involving a child. The investigation of Shockley’s home in the 100- block of West Nelson Street yielded a dozen 3.5-inch diskettes containing compromising pictures of mi- nors gathered from different sources on the Internet. .1 The case marks the second time in ayear that the Lexington community has been rocked by charges of sex crimes involving minors. Rockbridge County Cir- cuit court convicted Virginia Military Institute history professor Paul G Pierpaoli, Jr., on Feb. 4 for soliciting sex " with aminor and having carnalknowledge ofa child. Shockley, 31, came under suspicion inApril when Lexington police received areport fiomthe Waynesboro (Va) Police Departmentthatamanhaddiscovereda set A of vulgarpictures onthe Internet belongingto Shockley. Officer Jonathan Shenk investigated the images, which were hosted on Shockley’s Yahoo! account, where they could be shared with other users. To determine if Shockley tookthe pictures himself, Shenk ‘ and VMI Post Officer Huey Johnson posed as a 14- year-old Asian girl from Staunton and sent the sus- pect several e-mails to provoke a response. “It’s a usual practice,” Shenk explained. During '4 the correspondence Shockley gave out his cell phone number and solicited sex from the ofiicers in dis- guise. They also learned Shockley did not own a computer himself and instead relied upon public ac- cess to the Internet. it It is unclear how long the offending pictures were displayed on the Internet, but Yahoo! officials immediately ‘complied with.~Lexington police re- quests to disable the account. Lexington police stressed that none of the pic- 2 tures appeared to be taken by Shockley and that he had no prior sexual offense convictions in Va. Shockley also faces one misdemeanor count of possession of child pornography, one count of use ( of a communication system to solicity sex with a minor and one count of marijuana possession when he is arraigned Sept. 23.

When asked about her loss, McKinney pointed to the large amounts of money that pro-Israel groups raised for her opponent. Her father, William McKinney, was even more outspo- ken: “Jews have bought everybody. Jews. J-E-W-S.” Better reasons than a Jewish conspiracy may be ascribed to her defeat. In 1991, McKinney made a pro-Iraq speech, whose anti-American themes caused many fellow Con- gressmen to quit the chamber. More recently, McKinney criticized American foreign policy in a letter begging for money from Saudi Arabian Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. Bin Talal had previously offered ten million dollars along with a screed blaming the attack on the World Trade Center on America’s policy toward Israel. New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani refused it. McKinney’s defeat was motivated by her attempt to purchase domestic political support at the price of American foreign policy. Good riddance.

Mugabe would be well advised to take pointers from Nelson Mandela, who, after the liberation of South Afiica, pleaded with educated whites not to flee the country be- cause its survival largely depended on their expertise not only to train the black populace, but to keep the country running. 3) Saddam Husseir1’s sympathizers, who include U.N. Secu- rity Council members China and Russia, are urging t.he United States nottoactunilaterallyagainstIraq,butinstead, go through the U.N. Of course, this is not to say that they merely want to rubber stamp the process; rather, they do not want the U.S. to invade because they have significant financial prospects at risk in Iraq, namely, oil. President Bush has done them a favor (and showed his commitment to involving the rest of the world in the war on terror) by delivering a forceful speech to the U.N. this past Thursday. The president made it very obvious: Iraq must either immediately change its ways orface swiftand devastatingmilitary action. He certainly gave more than ample proof, citing, for ex- ample, the fact that Saddam has flagrantly violated U.N. resolu- tions no less than sixteen times since the Gulf War. Why, then, are other nations resisting by using the U.N. approach, which will enable thernto veto war orat least support it but on their own terms? Clearly, selfish interests motivate them as is the case with China and Russia. While I applaud President Bush ’s good faith demonstration by going to the U.N., I certainly hope he will not hesitate to act unilaterally should the rest of the world (save for Great Britain) choose to act selfishly. Judging by his words and actions so far, he will again prove his mettle. 4) The latest Florida election controversy is a sickening example of political posturing. Having narrowly lost the Demo- cratic primary election for governor ofFlorida, fonnerAttomey General Janet Reno is attempting to get the votes in Miami-Dade county recounted in the hope that she will be declared the win- ner. However, the rest ofher party (including her opponent, Bill McBride) are clamoring for her to stop calling for a recount, and accept the election results as they stand. Funny, how when dealing with their own, the Democrats are more than willing to overlook a potential voting error, yet when faced with the pros- pect of a Republican’s legitimately winning an election, they run and scream and call foul play. Not only that, but there still exist many liberals who contend that despite his obvious compe- tence and honorable service to the country so far, George W Bush is still an ‘illegitirnate’president. It’s irritating and childish, yet we can take comfort in knowing that at any rate, Florida is better off by not having Janet Reno as a potential governor. While life is probably less interesting without the ludi- crous, it would certainly help a great deal of people if the above cases were to be righted. Here’s to hoping some good comes about, and soon. Letters to the Editor Student locker facilities a disgrace Dear Editor, As a senior woman at Washington and Lee, I was immensely thrilled upon returning to campus to discover our new fitness center. Like many students in our com- munity, I belonged to Omega Fitness Center last year because I believed the facilities at Washington and Lee were inadequate for my exercise needs. Since the new fitness center opened on August 22, I have visited it nearly every day and have been duly im- pressed. Many of my fellow students with whom I have spoken agree that both the quality and quantity of new equipment is superb. The attendants are eager and help- ful; the facility is clean and well kept. Thanks to dona- tions and alumni contributions, the students, staff and faculty that comprise the Washington and Lee commu- nity are allowed access to this wonderfiil facility. This year, rather than join a fitness center in town, my friends and I prefer to workout together on our own campus free of additional charges, In addition to creating the new fitness center, Wash- ington and Lee also constructed new and improved locker rooms equipped with air conditioning and a plethora of lockers. Students, however, are unfortunately excluded from the use of these locker room facilities; whereas, fac- ulty and staff are admitted. I believe the students of Washington and Lee are being treated unfairly. Wash- ington and Lee spent a great deal of money on these locker rooms from which the students of our community are inappropriately banned. Furthermore, the grungy, moldy, completely unkempt locker rooms the students are forced to use, have not been revamped. We, the students of Washington and Lee, are ma- ture adults. We deserve the full use of all of the new exercise facilities constructed for the use of the Wash- ington and Lee community. After all, if the faculty, staff, and students can workout and get sweaty together in the same area, what reasonable basis can there be for the same individuals not to be able to share the new facilities where they can clean up after their exercise activities. Under the present conditions, it would be an embarrass- ment to our University if alumni were forced to use the old locker rooms, which are dank, steamy and feature standing water, and which are a far cry from the high level attention and detail spent on making the new fit- ness center and faculty/ staff locker rooms. I ask each student to contact our new fitness center and file a verbal or written complaint against this unfair treatment we are being shown. I trust that, if a significant number of us complain about being excluded from the new locker rooms, our university will quickly change this policy. To segregate the students from the rest of the community is unjust, and this type of exclusionary policy does not reflect the values that come to my mind when I think of Washington and Lee. Sincerely, Emery Ordernann ‘03 New commons should include a post office Dear Editor, I am an alumnus of Washington and Lee, Class of ’45, who chose to return to the area in later years. I reside just over the city line in Rockbridge County. A few months ago I dispatched a letter to the Mayor of Lexington con- taining remarks conceming the local post office similar to those that follow. I indicated I was not in his constitu- ency. However, the post officer serves a wide area. I also indicated I was surprised the local weekly newspaper had not picked dup on the visible problems. I left a copy of my letter to the mayor at the publisher ’s officer, just a block from the post office, with no forthcoming reaction. My letter expressed concern about the location of the post office, parking problems, lack of access to the outside mail drop, and often long lines at two windows for service, etc. However, my main purpose in writing the letter was to strongly urge a sub-post office on the W&L campus incorporated within present new construction to alleviate what can only get worse.

However, service at the two windows is normally courteous as personnel contend with the pressures and periodic chaos. I am sure the local post office is pressed for space. Most colleges I know have postal service for students ofien located near dining, snack, and bookstore facili- ties. VMI obviously has such campus service. It’s unfor- tunate the post office is in the location it occupies. I was told by one official that city and Washington and Lee officials had discussed the matter, but had opted to stay as is. I was told that the post office provided an impor- tant contact between students and the general public. I was also told it helped nearby downtown merchants gain customers. I was somewhat surprised by what I consid- ered thing reasoning. I provide this letter to you wondering how students would react. Maybe my overall reasoning is thin! Sincerely, E. Dean Finney ‘45 Diversity initiatives need strengthening Dearliditor, I am one of the facilitators who led discussions of the video Skin Deep for freshmen during orientation.. I wish to address the negative reactions I witnessed, and to ask the fieshmen to take the leadership role in helping to make future diversity orientations for freshmen more meaningfiil. As a result of several racist incidents a couple of years ago, W&L needed to take a strong stand in order to continue to attract and retain quality students. One such effort towards takingastandwas training 18 studentspriortofalltermof2000 to present Anti-Defarnation League materials. I had the privi- lege of participating with that group in 40 hours of training in diversity issues and facilitation skills. The ADL facilitatorteam then presented workshops during freslnnan orientation. We, not unexpectedly, were the target of criti- cism fiom fieshmen who felt that the exer- cise was awaste of time. However, we con- tinued to work with various campus groups on request. This year, the video Skin Deep was chosen to be the jumping point of discus- sion. I am not familiar with the particulars of how the video came to be selected, but I agreed in principle with the narrower fo- diversity. In the space of two hours with the freshmen, we simply could not get very far beyond the top introductory layers of diversity education if we encompassed all of diversity as a whole. We have in o11r arsenal a really powerful video that truly stimulates the intel- lect. However, we cannot jurrrp to that level immediately; we have to start with less threatening exercises that build enough participant harmony and trust so that discussions remain safe and useful. We also have to present exercises that engage participant interest and help them feel that they have a stake in the discussion. When we are lirrrited to the introductory mate- rial by time and thus do not reach the deeper levels, we do run into the danger of seeming superficial. Nevertheless, the intro- ductory rnaterial by itselfcan be useful. VV1th Skin Deep, we were able to explore in greater depth one aspect of diversity, allowing us to explore the the topic of racism, and by extension diversity, more meaningfiilly. I tried to help all segments of students in my own group of fieshmen feel acknowledged by explaining that we realize diversity is about more than racial differences but we simply could not give all such aspects meaningful treatment in a short amount oftime. Intruth, we were still only able to scratch the surface of racism. However, as a freslnrran orientation activity, the discus- sion was not intended to provide a complete course in racism. Rather, it was intended to provoke thought about the subject and encourage freshmen to incorporate these issues into their studies in the next four years. It also was intended to create a level of awareness that a variety of cultures converge on cam- pus when a fieshman class is formed. We needed to help avert If diversity education was planned for some other point in the year, with adequate time alloted for deeper reflection, it might seem much more relevant to the freshman who has lived for several °l1S°I1fa9iSmthan1he20001°°°US0na110f months in the dormitories and has in his or her classes explored cultural topics. as simple as it may first seem. With these goals, we probably seemed to many a silly “love your neighbor and let’s all get along’ ChOI'l1S. We are in fact far from idealistic. We know 5 people will dislike each other, roomates will fight, and so on We ~ simply bring to you a perspective from which conflicts may be viewed Ifa conflict arises, awareness of possible roots in cul- tural differences may lead to a resolution. We also represent a sincere, as opposed to a politically conect token, effort from the administration to address problems that we know exist on campus. We are, after all, not immune from problems in the world as a whole that have their roots in intolerance. Further- more, we hope that students leave Washington and Lee truly able to handle the world at large, and that includes having diversity skills. In particular, we hope for Washington and Lee commu- nity members to understand that many diversity-related prob- lerns are unconscious in nature. I heard many freshman claim that little racism and such exists today in the world I heard fieshmen claim it is a simple nranner for us to all get along on campus. It was not my role as a facilitator to preach; thus I deliberately kept my responses to those comments brief and geared toward bringing more student viewpoints into the con- versation. Here I wish to offer a more extended view Certainly, there may be fewer overt incidents of racism We are thankfully more tolerant as a society of racial difference than we were in 11 J the Jim Crow days. However, we as humans seem to have a I psychological tendency to put people into categories, and much of this happens without much awareness on our part. While not all categorizing is bad, some of it may lead to inter- personal conflict. We need to become aware of the conflict- causing categorizing we do, much of which is detennined by a combination of familial and societal programming. We are not threatening anyone with a label of “racist”; accusation and blame is not the point of diversity education. However lofty and commendable our diversity educa- tion goals may be, perhaps the freslnnen are right that we are I not going about this in the best manner. Perhaps freshman orientation is not the best time for this sort of exercise. Placed among the potpourri of requiredpresentations, and with limited time, such exercises will ofien appear to fresh- men as a token to multiculturalism, a chance for the administration to preach a set of feel- good values to the newcomers that “of course everyone knows”. If diversity edu- cation was plarmed for some other point in the year, with adequate time alloted for deeper reflection, it might seem much more relevant to the freshman who has lived for several months in the dormitories and has in his or her classes explored cultural top- rcs. Unfortunately, it is our experience that voluntary discussions are not well-attended, and often we wind up preaching to the choir instead of reaching students who have not given much thought to these issues. If we wished to truly make a difference, attendence would have to required at that event later in the year. Perhaps it is still pru- dent to have a discussion during orientation so that flesh- rfren are prepared for the culture clashes. Perhaps diversity education should just be built into the curriculum and not discussed as a separate designated event to avoid the ap- pearance of “token-ness”. I don’t know the right way to go about this. I challenge the freshmen who felt that this year’s format was a waste of time and “fake”- I overheard the phrase “ a piece of crap”- to think about what would be a better and more meaningful approach and to bring those suggestions to the attention of administration and facilitators. In this vein, I must warn that many ofthe original 18 facilitators have since graduated. My class, which will gradu- ate in June, contains the last of the facilitators. We have learned many facilitation skills from the ADL training that enable us to work with any discussion, regardless of whether or not we are using ADL exercises. We will need to ensure that the skills are passed on to future classes. It will be up to this year’s freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to guide the fiiture of peer-led diversity education at this university.

Life is good... write for the Mondays at 5 RTS Br IE BY TRAN KIM sTAI~‘I«' WRITER The Lexington community now moves to a dilferent beat with the emergence of a new West Afiican drum and dance group. Taught by Laura Rich and Terrance Henderson respectively, these classes will meet for one Saturday every month through fall term. Organized by local resident Mirabai McCleod, and coordinated through the Dean of Students Office, this project initially began as a whimsical desire from Senior Medhanite Tekle who simply wanted to learn African dancing techniques. W&L funds the program to allow students to take the classes free of charge while W&L employees and their family members pay a $10 fee and non-W&L participants pay a $20 fee. Each Saturday morning from 10- l 2, participants beat various rhythms on the genuine African drums provided by Rich. From 1:30-2, a children’s drum class is held at $2.50 for W&L children and $5 for non-W&L children. Then from 2-4, participants are led by Henderson in the movements of traditional West African dances. Held in the srriall gym in Doremus, participants in theAfiican Drum class learn three different striking techniques called a base, tone, and slap, which are used to create the various rhythms on a diernbe, or standing, drum. A base is made by striking the center of the drum head and removing it quickly to allow for a deep resonance. A tone strike is created by swiftly tapping the edge of the drum. Slaps are made by striking the drum edge with the tips of the fingers while the heel of the hand hits the rim. Students also had a chance to play the various horizontal drums called the kenkeni, the sangban, and the doundoun. These drums are struck using a Drums sound C:\’l’HE.RlNE C.

For first-timers, playing can be a challenge due to the intricate rhythmic patterns. Also, the repeated hand strikes can be quite painful. However with practice, Rich says the pain will diminish while the rhythms become intuitive. “The secret to playing the drum is to enjoy it,” Rich said. While enjoyment is also crucial to African dancing, the key is to let go. Henderson explains, “[African dancing] comprises of very natural movements inspired by natural organic stuff.” Unlike ballet, tap, and other forms of popular dance that focus on intricate choreography and flexibility, the emphasis in African dance lies more on movements natural to the body and inherent to everyday life. More happens when you let go,” Henderson said. Senior Patrice Wedderburn attests to the importance of moving naturally. She said, “It was an amazing experience. I felt in touch with my body and it was very natural. You just go with the rhythm of the music.” The class began with a series of warmup exercises to stretch the entire body to make it more conducive to the dance movements. For half an hour, participants stretched body parts ranging from the ankles to their ribcages to their shoulders. After warming up, students learned various dance steps I J These movements involved leaps, hand motions, and hip thrusts, among others. Though students learn particular steps, these steps are meant to be modified by each dancer to suit his or her mood and interpretation of the drum beats. The emphasis is placed on feeling the beatsratherthanondancingthe stepsinapreciserriamier. Both Rich and Henderson bring artistic traditions that have endured for hundreds of years. These classes enable them to share a unique and interesting history ‘Mom, SEPTEMBER 16, 2002 I jLIST WANT To BANG ON THE DRLM ALL DAY: Top: The West African drum class learns to play.

PAGE 6 W;-r;i:_\i RTS & LIEE travel through time in the Pink Cadillac BY MCQUEEN CALVERT STAFF WRITER Just a short 10 minute drive up Highway 1 1, past the V. Lexington City limit takes you back 5 decades to the 50’s diner known as the Pink Cadillac. It can be spotted from over a mile away, due . to its cheery facade of bright pink paint and 50’s signs. The interior is filled with Rock ’n’ Roll «paraphernalia and Elvis memorabilia with plenty of classic tunes in the background from all of our favorite Oldies bands. _ The menu has a decent array of food choices, but I would recommend a simple hamburger. This seems to be the most popular item on the list, served with French fries, which are excellent. Most of the THE. KING. Elvis (inset) and his pink Cadillac. other items on the menu are decent in taste, but for a good ‘old burger, this is the place in Lexington to visit. The service is not spectacular, but the environment is definitely impressive. For instance, there is even a separate ice cream parlor type area for those craving the vast selection of desserts. For a weekend dinner, this is a great place to go if you have transportation and if the other eateries in the limited walking distance are getting to become too repetitive. Next time you and your friends decide to dine out, instead of insisting on returning to the always popular Salernos for the twentieth time, try the Pink Cadillac. Elvis will be waiting. }Ul(“$(lX,ll(IESY()l7WUWiL1ll\“]-ilI\'H{>i(JIK)3\J,.‘\\l)li()\il1'il'DJEl'/lAl{l§m(C-\Dlll ALHli\ll. Lexington. Virginia Fri., September 20 7:30 pm.

With the brutal colli- sions of helmets, the clash of sticks and the pounding of the turfl the Gen- ‘ crals prepare for battle each day, with one-unfortunately inevitable result: I injuries. Alas. in the ferocity of their prac- ,; tice and games, W&L athletes do get beaten up. Luckily. expert help is there to help prevent and heal those inju- ries -— in the athletics training room, run. by Head Athletic Trainer Holly 8‘ Snyder. “The injuries we see around here are the same that you’ll see at any Division I school,” Snyder said. “The 3 only difference here is that we don‘t have quite the same caliber of athletes. They’rc workingjust as hard, though, and that means they’ll get hurtjust as I much.” ‘ Snyder attended Indiana Univer- . sity for her undergraduate work, at- taining her bachelor of science degree there. She then attended the Univer- ‘ ,, sity of'\/irginia for her graduate work, . obtaining her masters in education " there. While at U Va, she worked at Wash- ington and Lee as a graduate assis- *;- tam, and was formally hired here in } 1999 as the associate head trainer. Last j summer. then-llead Trainer Tom Jones entered phased retirement, and Snyder ‘{ was hired to replace him. I-lers was a busy summer she Matlitt. and returned only when jun- ior George Merrell was injured. The Generals looked strong defen- sively until the final two .lohns Hopkins drives. W&L coach Frank M iriello believed that his defense wore down at the end of the game. “They were out there a long time. that’s for sure," he said. “Our offense played a lot better this year than they did last year and kept us offthe field a little longer. But we had too many min- utcs out there, and that’s going to cause some problems mental break- downs, physically you can’t match up. We just got tired." The two teams played to a score- less draw in the first half, thanks in part to Mafiitt’s two picks. Thejunior safety intercepted Fernand at the W&L, l0-yard line in the first quarter‘ and at his own 13 in the second, put- ting an end to two long Blue Jay pos- sessions. Johns Hopkins drovc 48 yards to the Generals’ 10 in the final minute of ’the first half, but Matt Castagna missed a 27-yard field goal as time expired. W &l. came out strong to open the second half. as junior quarterback Peter Dean marched the Generals down the field. Dean hit sophomore tight end Patrick Ncuman for a 23-yard strike down to the Blue Jays‘ 9-yard line and tossed an 8~yard touchdown to sophomore Taylor Callaham two plays later. ALI.

Snyder said. ‘‘I’m very happy with the staff. They‘re all excellent workers.“ Snyder noted that the training room is a little small for the number of ath- letes they serve. but that the facility is of good quality. “We do occasion- ally liave athletes sitting on the floor receiving treatment. but thcre’s a pro- posal fora new room in the works. so W&L responded with an eight- play drive that began from their own 24-yard line. The possession included a 30-yard pass from Dean to Sullivan on a third-and-l2 play. and Sullivan punched it in from 10 yards out for a l4-7 load with l :20 to play. “You’rc pretty fl red up that you’re .\lim~.x.i. .1! »ll (.;lI)S(.)t'1, field hockey co-captain.

Fernand and Wolcott hooked up again to open overtime, as the quar- terback found his receiver for a 24- yard play down to the W&L l-yard line. Fernand sneaked the ball up the middle to put the Blue Jays up 21-14, and the Generals went four-and-out. Miriello was pleased with his team ‘s overall effort, and he echoed Sull.ivan’s sentiment that Saturday’s game against Gui.ll’ord is what the Gen- erals are really shooting for. “Wc‘ve got to lick our wounds, so to speak. We'll look at the tape, look at the mistakes we made and correct them,” Miriello said. “(Guilford is) an ODAC game, it’s the first one we’ve got to get to get to the title, and that’s our focus. We’re going after the title, one ODAC game at a time." It’s the little things that should make the difference for W&L, Sullivan said. “In terms of our running game. we were one block a way a lot of times. The linemen need to stay on blocks a half-second longer. I need to make reads a little quicker, a little faster." he said. “Everything just needs to speed up a half-second more, and we should be unstoppable."

Freshman midfielder Jane Beall responded with an unassisted goal to tie the game, but the Wolverines bookcnded two goals around half- time to earn a 3-1 victory.

The Generals took the top four spots en route to win- ning the men’s competition with 16 points, easily outdis- tancing Southern Virginia College, which took second place with 52 points. For Schorr, it was his first competition of the year after sitting out the Elon Invitational on Sept. 7 with a small injury. “I was disappointed that there weren’t more teams com- peting at our course, but I was excited to be back in com- petition,” he said. Following Schorr, sophomore Steven Chambers fin- ished the course in 29:28.87 to take second place, fresh- man Andrew Johnson took third place (29:48.12) and se- nior captain Will Teichman finished in 30:27.86, good enough for fourth place.
