As the first day of the fall rapidly approaches, students take advantage of the weather and the scenery studying Tailgating moved to lacrosse field By MlCliAEL HEWLETT Phi Associate Editor At tomorrow’s first Washington and Lee football game, the time-honored tradition of tailgating, or a party out of a truck, will be held inside the fenced Lacrosse practice field which is beside the freshmen parking lot. Director of Security Mike Young announced the new policy during Wednesday night’s Interfraternity Council meeting. “Saturdays have become another reason to have a big party,” Young said, “and we can’t have that.” IFC president Ryan Connolly said reservations. “l just won’t be as much of an expe- rience as it used to be,” he said. “It used to be an all day Foxfield-like event.” The university is concerned with any liability it might incur if an acci- dent happened that caused injury to a student or damaged the school’s prop- erty, he said. Associate Dean of Students for Greek Affairs Leroy Atkins agreed. “The real issue is that we cannot afford to have a three hour party with people drinking,” he said. “We have a responsibility to this university to pro- tect it. We have no choice.” Young said W&L Security will start shutting down the tailgating parties at Barbecue in Buena Vista will provide food for the parties. He asked the fraternities who are having tailgating parties tomorrow to please cooperate. He said’ he hopes the policy will work out. These parties need to come under control, Young said. W&L Security has received reports from people com- plaining about property damage. “We’re not trying to keep you from having a good time,” he said. Atkins said he wants to keep the school from being liable for anything. ‘‘I’m not anxious to have money coming out of our endowment because we let students do something that is not healthy.” “I think people will cooperate,” he said, “and hopefully, more people will watch the Generals destroy their feeble opponents.” In other [FC news, Kappa Alpha fraternity will not have abig Tear Night party tomorrow.

Concerned over the unusually large amount in the fund, the EC requested that Darcey Livingston, Acting Pub Board President, meet with the com- mittee to discuss the surplus. The Pub Board consists of the edi- tors-in-chief and business managers of The Ring-tum Phi, The Calyx, the Po- litical Review, the Ariel, and the Jour- nal of Science. A sixth campus jour- nal, the Arete, was added Wednesday night during the Board’s first meeting of the academic year. The mission of the Board is to act as sole publisher for all the publications and to appoint all editors. A minimum of $3,000 is kept in a reserve fund to absorb possible end-of-year debts or unanticipated expenses of the publications. The surplus resulted from money raised last year by The Calyx. The yearbook ended the year with $8,000 more than anticipated. Increased rev- ' enues from student picture fees, the patron drive, and advertising accounted for $7,500. The Calyx also cut ex- penses by several hundred dollars. In early September, the E.C. exam- ined the financial records of the Pub Board in preparation for the budget hearings. They immediately noticed that the Pub Board had substantial funds, yet campus publications under the Pub Board did not reflect that sur- plus with lowered budget requests. Hence the question arose: How is that money being spent? “There was a concern on the part of the EC over what all that money was doing there,” said Pub Board advisor Brian Richardson. Keith Benedict, EC President, was concerned that the Pub Board might squander the student activity fees. “We don't want to see the money go down a black hole,” said Benedict. Additionally, he demanded more accountability for how the money will be spent. Livingston reminded the EC that it could send a non-voting member to Pub Board meetings to see first-hand how surplus funds were being allo- cated. .'.she also denied concerns that the funus would be mismanaged. “All surplus funds go directly back into the publications. For example, we [The Calyx] want that money to buy new computers,” said Livingston. EC member Amy Gorham suggested that the Pub Board provide a detailed account of how the reserve funds are spent to avoid further confusion. Benedict added that he wants to see the surplus spent on campus publica- tions, but he advised Livingston to purchase only what is necessary. “We’re comfortable with what you’re doing, we just want to account for student money,” concluded Benedict.

West-Settle joins administration By RYAN BEAMAN Phi Staff Writer Cecile West-Settle has been appointed Associate Dean of the College. The former Asso- ciate Dean, W. Lad Sessions, is currently serving as Dean of the College to fill the void left by the ascent of John W. Elrod to President. West-Settle, a Romance Languages professor, began work under her new title on July 1 and will remain for the next three years, as Associ- ate Dean of the College is a rotating position among the faculty. Although West-Settle has been exposed to the workings ofthe university by serving on various committees, her new job itinerary holds a much broader list of activities, which includes matters concerning the automatic rule and read- mission, chairing a committee comprised of eight faculty members dealing with Gradu- ate Fellowships, and work on Release Scholarships which enable students to work with faculty members during the‘ summer. in addition, she has also assisted Dean of Fresh- men and Residence Life Den- nis G. Manning with resolving schedule conflicts and advising. West-Settle enjoys being more ingrained in the work- ings of the administrative as- pect of the university and she maintains she still has a good deal of contact with students. She is teaching one Spanish course in each of the Fall and Winter Terms, which provides a welcome change in her day. With her job still rela- tively new, West-Settle is un- clear as to whether a career in administration might be ap- pealing to her, but she appears enthusiastic about her role within the university. More checkpoints keep Security busy By ETHAN KRUPP Phi Staff Writer codes. The bar codes can be placed just about anywhere. Previously, the officers had to lug around a 14 pound clock that was advanced with keys placed around campus. The new device weighs less than a pound and is carried in a pouch worn on the officer’s belt. Washington and Lee Security officers seem to be patrolling a lot of new areas this year, including individual fraternity houses. Mike Young, Director of Security, said the increased presence of officers is due to a new check point system. The Deister System, a computer driven checkpoint system, enabled W&L Security to increase the number of areas checked on each patrol from 30 to 200. Security officers currently check 62 points on campus. Young said some of these points include the fraternity houses. He stressed that the officers are not trying to spy on students or catch fraternities breaking the rules. The checkpoints were placed in each house because the school owns them and is interested in keeping them in good condition. Young also pointed out that the checkpoints are placed in areas in the house where Buildings and Grounds frequently inspects for maintenance reasons. This does not mean officers will ignore activities in the house. ‘‘If something draws [the officers’] attention, they’ll check it out,” Young said. The system operates on bar codes and a wand-like device that reads the bar Young said that the new system allowed a better accounting of what was checked and when it was inspected. He said after each shift, the scanning device is down-loaded onto a computer where the reports are stored. The reports for any patrol can be called up almost instantly. Each report shows the officer on patrol, the areas check, and what time they were checked. ln addition to better accounting, the new system allows Security to respond to problem areas. Young said because of increasing thefts on the lower levels of the law school library, a new check point was added. The checkpoint insures that areas where problems have occurred will be patroled. Another checkpoint was added on the lower levels of Leyburn Library after unwanted sexual advances were made towards several students last year. Officer Scott Rowe said he likes the new system more than the old one. He said the old system encouraged officers to hurry because the clock was so heavy and awkward. Every checkpoint is supposed to be checked twice a shift, according to Rowe. the money. Young said the computer read-out of the patrols provides an opportunity to check the quality of work of the officers. Young said the system cost $2800 to purchase and install, but is worth By SARA MCCRONE Phi Staff Writer On a typical week- night during Rush, the freshmen men put ontheir khaki pants and navy blue jackets and head out to catch aride to fraternity houses while their dormmates a few floors upsettle down to watch TV or do some home- work. But last night was different for the fresh- men women, who found that although they didn't have to get dressed up, they did have some place to go. About one hundred freshmen women filled the rain site in the Uni- versity Center to near- capacity. Student lead- ers of the event’s spon- sors, Panhellenic, Women’s Forum, and Women and Leadership, were pleased by the turn- out and took the oppor- tunity to welcome the freshmen to W&L and to invite them to participate in women’s groups on campus. “We are glad that freshman are voicing their opinions from the outset,” Sakina Paige, ChairpersonofWomen’s Forum, said. “Women’s Forum addresses the con- cerns of all women on campus, and by having events like this, Women’s Forum pro- vides a place for them.” Paige acknowledged that the social was also planned for a time in which freshmen women may have been feeling left out because of the prevalence of Rush func- tions for the men. women can also feel like they know upper-class women on campus and that they can walk up and say hello,” she said. “This activity, as well as demonstrating that the women’s groups are very united, serves to help form friendships among freshmen and upper- class women.” The choral group Ju- bilee, comprised of up- per-class students and two freshmen women, kicked off the series of events designed to gen- eratecamaraderieamong the students. As the all- female group performed excellent renditions of Mamas and Papas songs and Go-Go’s tunes, women of all ages lis- tened and snacked on Creamsicles and Nutty Buddies. After the per- formance, a wide range of female student lead- ers, including SCC Chairperson Madeline White, Women and beadership Chairperson Karly Jennings, and Panhellenic leader Suzanne Sharpe, encour- aged the freshmen women to seek leader- ship positions. “Just get out there and do it,” EC secretary Amy Gorham advised. “Freshman year is a good time to apply for positions and seek office.” Gorham and the sophomore and junior class presidents advised ~ freshmen women to at- tend a panel on seeking leadership positions that will be held in C-school on October 3 at 4:00. Jennings emphasized that Women and Leader- ship is not just for women who already hold leader- for those who want to develop leadership skills at W&L or out in the work force. “Sometimes groups get too fractioned or di- vided,” Jennings noted. “This is one big group for everyone; we have members who are from the Christian right to the far left and everywhere in between. That’s what we're hoping for.” PanhellenicChairper- son Suzanne Sharpe oommentedthatinvolve- ment in sororities also promotes leadership skills. “Being in a sorority is conducivetobecominga leader. Almost everyone in a sorority holds sortie l e a d e r s h i p position,”Sharpe said. The event seemed to be a big hit among the freshmen women, who went to watch the season premiere of Friends in the Women's Center on the third floor of Gaines Hall, which Paige stressed is open at any time to any woman on campus. Especially pleased with the activity were those women who had won prizes for speedily answering such survey questions as “What is the only predominantly fe- male department?” (Arts) and “Which lan- guage is taught by all fe- male instructors?” (Rus- sian). “I think it's great be- cause I won this T-shirt!” freshman Keri Dunphy exclaimed, proudly dis- playing her prize which read: “W&L Women: Quality Doesn't Have to Travel.” OCR::/Vol_095_096/WLURG39_RTP_19950922/WLURG39_RTP_19950922_002.2.txt BEYOND THE BLUE RIDGE Popcorn mogul Orville Redenbacher dies at age 80 Orville Redenbacher, the well-known creator of Orville Redenbacher popcorn, was discovered dead in his bathtub on Tuesday. Police investi- gators report that the eighty-year-old public figure died of natural causes. Fans of Redenbacher’s popcorn will be relieved to hear that his popcorn empire will continue under the guidance of his family. Welfare reform legislation survives Senate scrutiny Washington, D.C.—After months of revision, the Senate passed a sweeping welfare reform bill Tuesday by a majority of 87 to 12. Reforms passed in the Senate bill include a five-year limit on welfare benefits, a requirement that beneficiaries work while receiving welfare, a new system of block grants to states. and denial of benefits to legal immigrants. The bill will now come before a House and Senate conference commit- tee which will discuss compromises between the current bill and one passed by the House earlier this year. Debate will likely focus on such issues as the “family cap,” which would deny or reduce benefits for women who had more children while on welfare, or variations ofthe cap, including increased grants to states which reduce illegitimate births. Bosnian/Croatian forces to end assault on Serb holdings Bosnia~—Bosnian and Croatian forces agreed Tuesday to end their massive offensive against Serb holdings in western and central Bosnia, including Banja Luka, the town which is currently harboring 100,000 Serbian refugees. In the past week, their combined efforts have gained more territory for the Bosnian government than they have held since the beginning of the war with Bosnian Serbs over three years ago. Officials halted the raid on Serbian strongholds in light of growing concerns that the assault would jeopardize the continuing peace talks with Serb forces and possibly incite military action. The war continues in other regions of Bosnia despite pressure from NATO to end warfare in the former Yugoslavia. NFL facing identity crisis as Jerry Jones’ case escalates Atlanta, GA—.ln recent weeks the court battle over Jerry Jones‘ alleged violations of NFL advertising procedures has been escalating. While the Cowboys‘ owner and other members ofthe NFL remain optimistic that the - conflict between Jones and NFL Properties will be resolved out of court, many, including Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, insist that ifJones wins his case the effects on the NFL will be disastrous. The case, including a $300 million lawsuit filed by NFL Properties against Jones, raises several central issues, such as sponsorship of stadiums and athletic products, competition with other leagues, and equal access to players. Tagliabue is convinced that these issues will not be resolved by the owners. Jones’ alleged violations of NFL procedure and the resolution of the lawsuit against him will likely be the incentive for a close examina- tion of the NFL’s business relationships, as well as its licensing policies. GOP WATCH Parties clash over Medicaid and Medicare budget cuts In recent weeks GOP activity foreshadowed the controversy over what will undoubtedly be one of the most complex issues of the 1996 campaign. Senate and House Republicans, as well as Republican governors, became embroiled in the battle over Medicare and Medicaid as the scheduled makeover of the national programs approaches. Democrats promise that any of the planned Republican cuts and changes (such as caps on doctors’ fees, incentives to join HMOs and increased premiums) in funding will leave thousands of children, elderly and disabled without the means to procure medical treatment or prescrip- tion drugs. Republicans are also registering mixed opinions about the reductions in funding. While Republicans in Congress view the cuts as integral to their budget plans, GOP governors insist that the cuts must be reasonable in order for the states to withstand them. The Senate and House are also arguing the issue of whether or not the Medicaid program should be turned over to the states or should remain an entitlement. The issue promises to figure significantly not only in the Republican campaigns, but in the party battles as well. Proposed foreign aid cuts to cause controversy The GOP’s proposed foreign aid cuts became the subject of controversy within the Republican Party last week. The cuts, which Democrats allege will preclude international communication to the point of isolating and endangering the United States, have also been criticized by Republican Appropriation Committee Chairman Mark Hatfield. While a proposed House and Senate compromise bill would bring about less drastic cuts, Hatfield remains concerned about the effects of the cuts on the State Department and the United States Information Agency. The budget cuts have received the support of Senator Phil Gramm, Senator Robert Dole, and Senator Richard G. Lugar, all candidates for the GOP nomination. However, the proposed cuts are a continued cause for concern among those who had hoped for less stringent attacks from the GOP leaders on foreign affairs budgets.

It is probably a bit of each. Students at W&L can find out for themselves through Liberty, the University’s computer network, and related ser- vices provided by Campus Computing. W&L’s Internet access and other services are certainly not the most technologically advanced in any sense, but they do provide users with basic connections and fairly comprehensive features to enable them to communicate around the world, con- duct research and share data, participate in conversa- tions grandiose and trivial without borders and be- come familiar with the cutting edge of multi-media and programming. Certainly, most schools, and even businesses, would be thrilled to wake up and find that they had been equipped with the computing capabili- ties available to W&L’s students, faculty, and staff. Of course, gaining access to all of these resources is not as simple as turning on a computer, but W&L Computing has made the process fairly straightfor- ward. W&L students and others affiliated with the University may purchase computers through pro- grams run by Apple and Dell at Student Computer Purchase in the computing center on the first floor of Tucker Hall. The programs allow the purchase of up to one desktop computer, one notebook computer, and one printer per year at substantial discounts (the limits are designed to avoid competing with com- puter retailers). After a computer has been purchased, or brought from home, students may purchase a packet consist- ing of a disk and a cable which will connect their computer to the campus system, Liberty, via phone lines installed in all University housing. Students living off—campus can connect to Liberty via their own phone lines using a modem. Most students are already familiar with e-mail. E- mail allows users to send information to any other computer user in the world with a valid e-mail address. Letters, programs, images, etc., may be sent via e-mail. Students frequently communicate through e-mail with friends at other colleges, friends they have made previously through online services such as America OnLine or CompuServe, parents or other family, or participate in mailing lists on certain topics, ranging from the basics of computer use to religious discussions to favorite television programs. All students, whether they know it or not, have e- mail addresses which can be accessed through Lib- erty on personal computers or in any of the computer labs on campus, or the library. Passwords and ac- count names were sent to students over the summer from the Telecommunications Office. Pub Board to add new publication By EMILY BAKER Phi Executive Editor The Publications Board voted Wednesday to add a new publication to the five already under its wing. Bill Rust, editor of the Political Review. requested that the Board in- clude the Arete, an annualjournal now in its first year. TheA rete will complement the Ley- burn Society’s Speaker Program,which last year held discussions on local and international issues ranging from Win- ter Rush to Chechnya. The journal will include student, professor and guest essays, interviews, student reactions and critiques. The Pub Board agreed to fund 50 percent of the Arete’s first year operat- ing budget, or $400. “We thought thejournal would com- plete what we’re trying to do with the Leyburn Society,” said Billy Poynter, W&L e-mail received an upgrade recently to PINE 3.91, the program used to receive, sort, and work with e-mail. The upgrade essentially does not change the way the program works, but it does allow USENET newsgroups to be accessed via PINE in- stead of via TIN, the Liberty newsreader. Computer services still recommends the use of TIN, however, simply because the two are fairly similar and students are likely more familiar with TIN. Annie. named for Annie White, longtime W&L librarian and founder of Fancy Dress, is the University’s catalog system. It can be accessed via Liberty in private rooms and also at locations through- out campus. Students can leave comments about the library and request new materials in addition to searching for books, periodicals and other research sources. Using Annie before heading to the library allows students to cut down on time spent searching in the stacks and spend more time on actual study and research. Liberty is the name of the computer’s interface system. Included in Liberty, in addition to e-mail capabilities and connections to Annie, are several other features that allow W&L students to find and use information effectively. Some are used primarily for non—curricular activities, while some are used almost exclusively for serious research. The USENET is an international system of “newsgroups,” groups broken up by the subjects discussed within each. Topics range widely from cars to coffee to Conan O’Brien to foreign languages to politics, and on and on. Virtually every topic is represented, and if it is not currently, a sufficient show of interest is enough to make sure it is. In addition to groups available to anyone in the world, W&L’s USENET service includes W&L-specific topics such as computing, Christians on campus, and individual class groups where students and profes- sors can discuss and organize their classes. Much of the USENET, many students have found, must be slogged through to get past the flames (vitriolically abusive “discussion”), trolls (attempting to provoke flames), ads (a severe violation of Internet etiquette), and just plain useless discussion to find the interest- ing or informative bits that can lead to discussion or present unfiltered news and opinions from around the world. The IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is sort oflike a live USENET. Users can talk live to people around the world, again on topics as various as the people who participate. While some may abandon the IRC as a hotbed of horny undergraduates pretending to be things they are not, cybersex is not the only option. Discussions of religion, pop culture, and even live “game show”—type groups are also popular. The World Wide Web is what many people mean when they talk about the Internet or the Information Superhighway; though it is only a part of the total picture, it is a quickly expanding part growing in usage and popularity. WWW is a multi-media format allowing users to see pictures. read text, and hear sounds all in one integrated “document.”The WWW’s editor of the Arete (the Athenian word for excellence). The Leyburn Society is named after Dr. James G. Leyburn who said in his 1979 address at the Omicron Delta Kappa assembly that “many Washing- ton and Lee students so soon begin to specialize that they miss the riches of this University’s superb curriculum.” The Leyburn Society attempts to provide students with the opportunity to explore areas not discussed in class. President John Elrod agreed to be the Society’s first speaker of the year. Rust and Poynter also hope to per- suade author John. Grisham to speak. just plain good looks have made it extremely popu- lar, though a lot of what is there may be less useful than the information to be found in other formats. The World Wide Web at W&L can be most effectively accessed via labs in Gaines Dorm, Newcomb Hall, the library, Parmly, the C-School, and Robinson Hall. They are connected to Liberty via Ethernet connections, which allow them to effec- tively run the memory-greedy Mosaic and Netscape programs which allow the Web to be seen in its full glory. For purely informational needs, the Web can be browsed in a text-only format from private rooms using Lynx from the Liberty UNIX prompt. W&L Computing is contemplating connecting private rooms with Ethernet connections, but no definite plans have been made. In the meantime, solutions using other programs are being improvised to make the Web more accessible in complete form to private rooms. Many students and others at W&L have designed their own Web “pages,” now accessible from the W&L Home Page, which feature their own interests, artwork, and writing. Hints about creating personal Web pages are also accessible from the W&L Home Page. Also available are commercial services which make research easier and more topical, as well. W&L has made UnCover, Firstsearch, and Lexis/Nexis available from Liberty. These services are designed for research related directly to academic work, and include databases of articles in journals, newspapers, magazines, as well as government documents and legal and medical news. New developments in computing this year in- clude several thousand dollars’ worth of new com- puters in the student labs; a new administrative computer, AUGUSTA, which is ten to 20 times faster than the old system, has ten times as much central memory and three times as much disk space; a new network file sewer for administrative users; an upgrade in W&L’s Internet link from 56,0()0 bits per second to 1.5 million bits per second; a newer, faster processor, known as LOGIC, for USENET newsgroups; an increase in ports so that more users can be connected at once without waits, and new SLIP/PPP connections accessible via phone lines to allow full Web usage; a Student Help Desk in Tucker 227 which will provide general user assistance and some multimedia facilities for students, and a new System Information Hotline at 463-8409 which will announce scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and will recite the new dial-in numbers for the University’s modems. New developments in W&L’s computing capa- bilities are announced and discussed in the “wIu.computing” newsgroup on Liberty ’s USENET, and changes are taking place every day. While most students still. may only be using their e-mail or connecting to Annie for preliminary research, there is a full range of opportunities to learn more about, as well as learn from, the Information Superhighway—— or whatever you want to call it. Cable 2 boasts new shows, new equipment Write to he D17/i We welcome your imput phi@wlu.edu By EMILY BAKER Phi Executive Editor Cable 2, Washington and Lee’s Io- cal-access television station, starts its fall programming with new shows and new equipment. The equipment cost about $36,000 and includes three cameras, tripods, and a new switcher. Engineers came in over the summer and rewired the stu- dio. The journalism department received the money after the administration ap- proved a plan submitted by department head Hampden Smith. Cable 2 managers plan an expanded lineup for this year. Programming be- gins at 5:30 on the weekdays and runs till 10. Exact times for all shows have yet to be set, but Program Manager Callie James expects to set the times in the next few weeks. The Dating Game and W&L Genes return to the lineup, which will also feature new shows. The Roommate Game, James said, is patterned after The Newlywed Game and is designed to let roommates dis- cover more about each other. Today's Issues, which follows a roundtable discussion format, will fea- ture discussions on student media, the Virginia Women’s Institute for Lead- ership at Mary Baldwin College and student internships. The station this year subscribes to the Burly Bear Network, a show aimed at college students. The show includes a recurring cooking segment called Half-Baked and a music segment. “On the first show, they follow the Samples around,” said James. “So it’s good music, no MC. Hammer or any- thing like that.” With the expanded line-up, director Lucy Barnett hopes to attract a wider variety of students to work for Cable 2. “Freshmen can’t take journalism classes yet,” she said. “This is the first opportunity for them to get involved with broadcasting. And we want people to know it’s not just for journalism majors.” OCR::/Vol_095_096/WLURG39_RTP_19950922/WLURG39_RTP_19950922_003.2.txt 1'; 4 C A. The Ring-tum Phi, Sept. 22, 1995 1 Q PAGE 3 HIDY BRING-S,F’ALETTE OF INFINITE POSSIBILITES TO CAMPUS BY CINDIE YOUNG Phi Features Editor On the role of graphic art within today’s culture, visiting artist Lance Hidy declares that it affects “the way we think of ourselves, see ourselves, and see the world.” Himself an accomplished figure in the world of graphic A art, Hidy shared own insight last Tuesday evening on the ‘process by which an idea can become so powerful a form of expression on paper. Before an audience brimming over the seats of duPont Hall onto the carpet and into the door frames, lance Hidy reflected upon the origins and course of his own artistic ‘career, opening his lecture with a salute to a resource ' available to every college student, the school library. “What a difference the college resources made to me,” Hidy exclaimed, “and to students at W&L as well!” As an undergraduate student at Yale, Hidy whiled away ‘many hours hunting though stacks of old books and illus- trated manuscripts. His hours there proved of value, and Hidy, who had always considered himself more a fine artist than any other type, found in these books an introduction to a world he has K THE POSTER LANCE HIDY CREATED FOR THE W&L IEYBURN LIBRARY ‘K/Ai13=i’~IC?ON ANE‘ IE3 UNl‘.’ER’,I‘§"I LIBRARY A program.

After the hour-long dose of in- tense emergency room drama, those students addicted to the series can ,4 flick off the T.V. and once again settle back into the routine of their own lives. For one group of W&L g‘ Dr. Darcy Russell of the Biology Department has assisted in rounding up students to participate in the pro- I IWorI2ing tor the Community I at Stonewall Jaclzson Hospital the extended care facility, which deal with the elderly. ' Sawyer now intends to become physician assistant, and attributes he certainty about her future career choic to the “wonderful” experience hertim at Stonewall Jackson has given her. Sawyer fondly recalls working i the clinic of Doctor Zel, particularl when given opportunities of workin with actual instruments and real pa tients, and remembers with relief tha the doctors and nurses took the time t explain things; such helpfulness ha made her tasks all the more valuable never left since, that of graphic art. Appreciative of the visual effect alone of the elaborate illustrations he found, Hidy gained from his searches an appreciation also for the history and tradition of graphic art. “Renaissance art,” Hidy reminded his audience, “was basically commerciaI;” DaVinci, Raphael and nearly all the other masters of their day worked under commissions, whether for private patrons or public religious institutions. Graphic art, then, has held a role in modern civilization over a span of many years, and has evolved into an “inter- national language,” in Hidy’s words. As a language of images, graphic art depends upon both the technique of the skilled craftsman, and the impulse of the fine artist. Hidy, a man in whom both technique and impulse meet, describes the result as “an exploration of surprises,” a constant discovery of new images. Lance Hidy is a pioneer in the world of graphic design, in the truest sense of the word, and is now involved in exploring graphic art at the-outermost boundaries that tech- nology allows. The computer has become for Hidy both paintbrush and canvas, and with the roll of a mouse he enjoys “an infinite palette of possibilities.” On his cherished Macintosh, Hidy is able to work freely with an image, experimenting with its color, size, shape and texture. He is satisfied only when he has found “the inner nature of each medium, the Zen.” Wondering at the freedom with which creativity can flow from person to machine, Hidy remarked, “If you can think of it, you can do it,” adding in the next breath, “You can even do things you can’t think of.” Hidy closed his lecture with a demonstration of his creative process, projecting on the wall the images that appear on his computer screen as he creates a work of art. Hidy has been an active presence on the W&L campus throughout the past week, attending classes, participating workshops, and holding brown bag lunch discussions and public lectures; he is, however, no stranger to Lexington. Hidy visited the town several years ago when commis- sioned to design a poster for W&L, and within the next few months he and his family will leave New England, to become permanent members of the Lexington community. It is perhaps only fitting that the poster of internationally recognized graphic artist Lance Hidy hanging today on capus walls has as its subject the very building from which his own interest in graphic art sprang up, a college library. An exhibition of the work of Lance Hidy is on display in duPont Gallery through October 16, and additional posters and books of the artist may also be viewed in beybum Library.

In t .: it . _t .,. ., _ _ BYDARCEY LIVINGSTON Phi Staff Writer Prof. Claudia Emerson Andrews’ favorite restaurant doesn’t exist—at least not in town! She loves Mexican food, and says, “One of my great disap- pointments is that there isn’t a Mexican restaurant in Lexington. Don’t you think it would go?” Actually, I’m kind-of partial to Taco Bell..... With or without the restaurant, Prof. Andrews still likes the town, and adores her job teaching at W&L. The class she takes most seriously is her creative writing class, because it is so near her heart. Prof. Andrews stresses that above all else, she is a poet-—a revelation she arrived at not so long ago. In fact, she probably would still be a rural letter carrier, running a bookstore on the side, if not for a certain conversation she had with her husband, Jesse. ‘‘I came home one day and said, ‘I think I really know what I am.’ He said, ‘Well, what is it?’ and I said, ‘I ’m a poet. That’s what I am. That’s what I want to pursue.’ He said, ‘I’m just so glad you finally figured that out.’ I feel like most people would have said, ‘You’re what? You better not quit your job! ’ He could have responded in a lot of negative ways, but it was only after that that I went on to graduate school. When she’s not busy teaching, she likes to spend time writing poetry, or scribbling in her journal. ‘‘I would encourage everyone to keep a journal,” says Andrews. “l’ve been keeping one on and off since l’ve been about twenty. But l’ve been writing very faithfully for about ten years. lt\rquote s a good place to let off steam!” Prof. Andrews uses her journal to write about her daily activities, and to jot down ideas for her P°°II'Y- A populartheme in her poetry is the elderly, and Prof. Andrews explains why. “My father had three old maid aunts, and we went to visit them every Sunday without fail. I have very vivid early memories of going to visit them and being made to kiss them and be nice to them——it was just awful! But, I write about them now. I remem- ber them and I hope I didn’t show my disgust at the time ‘cause they were real sweet ladies.” - However, Prof. Andrews did not always want to be a poet, or even a teacher for that matter. “The main thing I wanted to be for a long time was a country music singer. So, when l was in my teens, I started playing the guitar and singing. That was my dream: to go to Nashville and be a country star. I wrote my own songs. Actually, when l was in college in Charlottesville, I played guitar and sang for money in bars.” Prof. Andrews also likes to‘ spend time with her menagen'e——six cats, three dogs, and a chicken named “Cluck” who visits her home on occa- sion. “Jesse always says that I’m a budding cat lady——you know, those weird women in cities who have shop- ping carts and a lot of cats,” relates Andrews. “I hope it’s not that bad, but I am a sucker for strays.” Most of her pets indeed are strays; she rescued one of her cats from a nearby dumpster when it was just a kitten. The one thing the professor does not like about herself is the fact that she’s a negative thinker. “I worry that things are going to go wrong even when I don’t have any reason to think they will. My husband accuses me of driving my car off the bridge before I get to the bridge! I have a very vivid imagination, and I can imagine disas- ter easily.” Prof. Andrews\ vivid imagination also nurtures her students, who will continue to learn and grow through her teaching until her appointment ends next June. ’vv\’VV\’VV\!

For many years, Lexington’s two male col- leges closely guarded their tradition of single-sex education. The admission of women was first considered by W&L in 1896 as a means of increasing registration and income, but while The Ring-tum Phi advocated co-education, the faculty voted it down nine to one. 89 years later, in the fall of 1985, the first female students enrolled at W&L. VMI, on the other hand, has re- mained an all-male institution. Resisting change “We feel our system is best done in a single—sex environment,” said Mike Strickler, Director of Student Affairs at VMI. “Obviously it has been suc- cessful over the last 156 years. and it is important to us to keep this tradition.” Many people support this tradition, including representatives of seven women’s colleges, who fear that if the federal government succeeds in forc- ing the all-male VMI to admit females, all-female colleges would find them- selves in jeopardy as well. “Studies have shown that some stu- dents perform better in single—sex schools,” said Lt. Col. Courtney Wheeler, a 1972 graduate of VMI who, like most alumni, stresses the impor- tance of keeping VMI an all-male school. “States should provide single- sex programs for both sexes. The sys- tem at VMI works well as it is; it would have to be remarkably changed to ac- commodate women.” The rituals and rigor of VMI have long been a part of the school’s tradi- tion, and VMI is infamous for the ha- rassment and intense discipline the stu- dents must endure their freshman year. Specifically, VMI uses the “adver- sative method,” in which students are subjected to intense physical and psy- chological pressure——with no pri- vacy——in an effon to build group cohe- S1011. Spokespeople for the women’s col- leges argue that the premise behind the need for separate leadership programs for women is that the methods used in VMI are appropriate only for men. Court action Much controversy has arisen con- cerning VMI’s all-male admission policy recently. In its 1990 lawsuit against VMI and the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Justice Department said the military college’spolicyviolated the 1964 Civil Rights WOMEN IN THE fered the state of Virginia three op- tions: 1) to admit women to VMI and make the necessary adjustments, 2) to set up a parallel program for women at another school, or 3) to end public funding and turn VMI into a private institution. Virginia chose to set up an altema- tive program for women at Mary Baldwin College in nearby Staunton, hoping to satisfy constitutional con- cems without abandoning VMl’s tra- dition. VWIL establish ed Mary Baldwin College explains the resulting women’s program, Virginia Women’s lnstitue for Leadership (VWIL), as a rigorous program de- signed to give students the knowledge, skills, character and opportunities that will allow them to obtain and succeed in positions of leadership in the private or public arena, includ- ing the military.

Judge Jackson Kiser ruled that VMI should be left alone. The Fourth Circuit Court of Ap- peals ruling last fall agreed with Kiser but insisted there was still a 14th Amendment problem.

Students will be members of the Virginia Corps of Ca- dets. Because it is of- fered under contract with the Common- wealth of Virginia, fi- nancial support is avail- able to all Virginia resi- dents, lowering the base tuition. The VWIL program coordinates military training with the Reserve Of- ficerTraining Corps at VMI, but other- wise is vastly different from its male counterpart. “Our goals are different,” explained Professor Brenda Bryant to potential students at Mary Baldwin’s visiting day last weekend. “VWIL is a 24-hour leadership environ- "THE ‘RATS’ ARE RE- Scott Dittman have worked closely with Mandeville, helping her organize her schedule and trans- fer credits, since her admission to the uni- ment as opposed to H M“, versity last spring.

In the VWIL program, meanwhile, participating women will wear uniforms once a week, and al- though they face similar academic pres- sures, theirs will be, according to Bryant, “a nurturing and positive com- mumty.” VWlL’s charter class of 42 women has received much media attention over the past month, and both VMI and Mary Baldwin are pleased with the positive publicity the program has re- ceived. “It has exceeded the expectations of [both schools],” Strickler said. “We are 100% behind the program. It will accomplish what it has set out to ac- complish.” W&L woman a VWIL partici- pant ‘ The VWIL participants, however, are not the only females making a de- but on the VMI campus this fall. W&L freshman Jennifer Mandeville was awarded a four-year Army ROTC scholarship before receiving her letter of acceptance from W&L. W&L’s Dean Sessions and VMl’s tional objectives,” said Dittman. After the Citadel’s harsh reception of Shannen Faulkner earlier this fall, Mandeville and many of the VWIL participants were concerned about the reaction of the VMI cadets. “The girls were scared; many of them had emblazoned in their minds the picture of the guys at the gate of the Citadel,” Bryant explained. “But the last thing that VMl wanted was that image of its tradition. We are very pleased with the hospitality of VMl.” While the VWIL students only at- tend a weekly military science class at VMI, Mandeville must also fulfill the physical training of her ROTC scholar- ship at VMI. “The ‘rats’ are really nice,” Mandeville said. “They treat me like a brother rat; we splash through the mud together, and help each other out.” Mandeville will be the second fe- male student to be commissioned dur- ing her time at Washington and Lee. Her predecessor, Loretta Lee Vandenburg, set some high standards of success for Mandeville to follow. Vandenburg had completed a year at the US Naval Academy before trans- ferring to W&L. She then took military science classes here and was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps in December 1990 by the VMI ROTC unit at a special ceremony in Lee)( Chapel, going on to score the second highest of any woman on a Marine Corps leadership exam and was se- lected for the American Gladiators pro- gram. j‘ An uncertain future for single- sex education As more opportunities open for women in the military, females are bound to continue to challenge single- N sex traditions. Last June, the Clinton Administra- tion asked the Supreme Court to appeal the decision by the US Court of Ap- peals that allowed VMI to exclude,‘ women provided that Virginia created ‘ the leadership program at Mary Baldwin College. In its appeal, filed in May, the Administration argued that the appeals court relied on “harmful gender stereotypes” when it approved A the plan earlier this year. A brief filled by the Justice Department rejected the argument that women could not with- stand the adversative program: “The history of sex discrimination in the United States has been replete with official assumption that women and men properly belong in restrictive sepa- rate spheres and plat different societal roles according to sex. The exclusion ‘ of women from VMI impermissibly' recognizes one such assumption~—that where military-style education can be preserved in its ‘true’ and most regorous form, women simply do not belong.” The Supreme Court must now de- l. cide either to hear or to decline the case. Until then, the prospect of women one day attending VMl as full-time students is left to speculation. As Dittman put is, “only God and the Army know” what will happen.

Like many of W&L’s most revered traditions (Fall Rush, choosing your own housing, speaking to each other, etc.), yet another is falling by the wayside. A few days ago, University Security notified the Inter—Fraternity Council and Panhellenic Council that tailgates, the ever—popular party outside of a Jeep Cherokee trunk, were to be restricted to the fenced lacrosse fields. Additionally, they are to last only two hours from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The administration cites safety and liability concerns as justification for the new limitations. Undoubtedly, that ’s a valid concern. Nevertheless. all-day tailgates are part of the W&L experience. Football games simply won’t be complete without chicken wings, bourbon-and- cokes, and Dave Matthews cranking out of a car } stereo. Tailgates, tubing on the Maury, and hooking I up under the moon at the Ruins-—-these are the « events that make undergraduate life unforgettable. Washington and Lee students are a generally 7 easy-going and well-mannered bunch. For the most part, they know when to say when. Drunken ’ tragedies are a rare phenomenon at W&L, thank God. The Hill’s concerns regarding tailgates, while thoughtful, are largely unfounded. We certainly can’t recall any tailgating nightmares. For better or worse, student autonomy has become a buzz phrase around the W&L campus. Trespasses against the fiercely valued independence of students are not treated lightly. Restricting tailgaiting seems a foolish choice for which the administration is rallying. Indeed, more important issues facing the student body demand the Hil1’s attention—-sexual assault, violent hazing, and drug abuse, to name a few. . Tailgates are about harmless fun. They offer a respite from the stressful working week. They provide a chance for the W&L community to gather and support our fighting Generals. Like Garbo, tailgates should simply be left alone. Quote of the Week “Bowties have been relegated to the land of nerds, geeks and dweebs. That’s Manning, Atkins and me.” —-Professor Andrew Jackson Holliday PAGE 5 l i‘ ‘lhoj u\\\ 3’: EM become 't\ get-» slrtoda! even, \/eor:_ Overdue political overhaul in works JOSHUA HESLINGA, ’98 To say that the 1996 elections will be imponant may seem banal to most, but here I intend to put a new spin on that statement. I think the 1996 elec- tions are likely to tell us as much about what sort of political system we want to have in place as they will about particular candidates or ideologies. The most obvious example is the continuing question over the possibil- ity of a third or fourth candidate, run- ning as an independent. However, I would argue that the mere presence of an independent candidate won’t tell us nearly as much about the future of the two major political parties as pundits think. In 1992, America was subjected to the candidacy of egotistical billionaire Ross Perot. Like the electorate, Perot wanted change immediately. Conse- quently, he passed up his excellent chance to form a third party and chose instead to leave his followers drifting in the wind after the election. What’s the difference, you ask? The difference is that many states have an automatic threshold guaranteeing bal- lot access to a third party if it scores above a certain level in the previous election. In other words, Mr. Perot could have been sitting at the head of a third party in 1996 with ballot access in dozens of states guaranteed. The polls consistently show that a large segment of the American electorate views the possibility of a third party favorably. While the most likely independent candidate in 1996 remains open to ques- tion, it seems as though a strong possi- bility exists. With that in mind, it will be the identity and beliefs of any inde- pendent candidate that will be the deci- sive factors in any possible fonnation of a third party. Are voters and activists merely interested in the instant gratifi- cation of an independent candidacy rather than the real change a third party would bring? If a third party does emerge, one wonders if the American political sys- tem itself will adapt to prevent the possibility of more presidents by plu- rality. In a four-candidate race, assum- ing for the sake of simplicity that ap- peal remains constant nationwide, the winner need only have 26 percent na- tionwide to be elected in an electoral landslide. This is hardly true majoritarian rule. , Reform of the electoral college sys- tem is never discussed in current politi- cal talk. Yet it may be one of the most important reforms needed in American government. It would probably only take one gross example of this or one election thrown into the House of Rep- resentatives for the American people to demand change. But then again, why wait until something goes wrong? This year has also seen the extreme front-loading of the primary schedule as states scramble to move forward in the process in order to remain relevant. The results of this 1996 shuffle may reverberate in years to come as future primary structures are studied. Will legislatures merely play “Can you top this?” or will a better primary system emerge? A major structural question also exists for the two parties themselves. Since 1994, we have seen an unprec- edented flood of conservative Demo- crats moving to the Republican party at all levels of government on at least nominally ideological grounds. Given the intense dislike of the liberal wing of the Republican party for their religious conservative brethren, the next couple of years may determine if liberal Re- publicans are likely to abandon the GOP. The 1996 election and events shortly afterward may finally reveal whether we are seeing an ideological solidification in the parties or a mere flood of rats jumping a sinking ship. Another major question to be an- swered deals with the ideological ten- dencies of the voters themselves. Since the 1996 election, the liberal media has been chanting the mantra that the vot- ers merely had a tantrum in 1994, de- nying any ideological bent to the change in the fervent hope that it will become accepted fact. This dubious illusion ignores im- portant advances by conservatives in 1994, particularly social conservatives. Nonetheless, we are likely to find out what the ideological bent of the elec- torate really is. Is the “radical middle” made up of merely cynical iconoclasts or will it continue the House Republi- cans’ conservative revolution? 1996 will also be about the future of Congress. Since 1994, virtually every political scientist agrees that the major spotlight has shifted to Congress from the presidency. The congressional elec- tions in 1996 may be much more im- portant than the presidential election, for a couple of reasons. In races for the Senate, the deluge of Democratic retirements (seven so far) presents many open races, in which voters will not only decide between Democrats and Republicans. They will also determine whether they want more of the active conservative Republicans or the moderate deal-makers to run for these slots. Senate Majority Whip Trent Lott would be one of the favorites to suc- ceed Bob Dole as Majority Leader if necessary, and the Republican party in the Senate would certainly take on a more hard-line tone under the former Gingrich colleague. Will the voters empower the recently ascendant Sen- ate conservatives to enforce more party discipline and stick to their guns, or will they measure politicians by the number of bills they produce? This theme of principle versus com- promise is paralleled in the intensify- ing Gramrn/Dole primary collision as well as the upcoming budget fight. Republicans will soon be called on to choose whether or not to blink in their stare-down with Bill Clinton. Major forces in both houses are willing to undergo a government shutdown if they can force Clinton to sign Republican appropriations goals into law. All of the above also says nothing about the numerous Constitutional changes that may be imminent, from term limits to a balanced budget to religious equality. Nor does this ad- dress the huge upcoming debates over radical reform in both the tax code and the structure of the executive branch. Nor the continuing questions of devo- lution in government and the restora- tion of federalism. The 1996 elections and upcoming debates will soon create the most thor- ough examination of the American political system in decades. This will include answers to many lesser-known structural and electoral questions be- sides the popular ideological ones. An old Chinese proverb says, “May you live in interesting times.” Some- how, I think we have that one covered.

What else am I going to do with those three and a half minutes of unscheduled time I have between 4:56:30 and 5 a.m.? The answer, of course, is nothin’ more than politick, politick, and politick some more. And while you can find analyses of the political situation—who the Republican nominee will be, whether Clinton will get a primary challenge, if Colin Powell/Steve Forbes/Lowell Weicker/Ross Perot/Bill Bradley might be the new political sav- ior—pretty much anywhere, where else will you find a practical guide to Fun with the Presidential Election than here in “The Far Middle”? That’s right. Politics can be so much more than old white guys in dark suits and red power ties talking about “welfare” and “budgets” and “crap like that.” In fact, it can be Fun with a capital F. Modern technology and the quest for votes have combined to allow you, the average American schlub, to have a voice in our government. Allow me to elaborate. For instance, last year, when one of my personal heroes and a great American, Joycelyn Elders, was fired as Surgeon General, I had the great pleasure of writing a message by e-mail to the President (at president@whiteh0use. gov) which began, “You f--- ing moron,” and went pretty much downhill from there. While this was viscerally satisfying (try it, you’ll see), l’m pretty sure it never actually reached the President himself. His e-mail is probably even more clogged than his regular mail. So while the Secret Service men who showed up at my door in Graham-Lees dorm seemed interested, I can’t help but suspect that I may not have gotten my point across. Undaunted, l have tried to think of other ways to get my political message through to the big-time movers and shakers in Washington. This is really not an easy thing to do, as the nature of politicians today seems to be to isolate themselves as much as possible from “the people,” principally because “the people” are angry at “the politicians” for running “the coun- try” into “the huge, festering pit of debt so great that it can hardly be comprehended by the human mind, much less paid off in our lifetimes” in which we find ourselves. They are likely to get beaned with a ripe tomato. Luckily, Jerry Brown still believes in communi- cating with the people. He started the lovely trend of “800-numbers” in 1992, which has now spilled over into most mainstream campaigns. So now, you can talk directly to the candidates, for free! Or at least those guys who answer the phones when you call. I have found it most effective to call late at night, when they are least expecting it. It’s a fun study break to sit back and punch in 1-800-GO-PAT-GO, then just wait for the hilarity to begin. You’ll hear some- thing like: “Thank you for calling GO-PAT-GO. This is Amy. Pat Buchanan is looking for patriotic Ameri- cans like yourself who will support his efforts to take America back from the professional politicians who run Washington. To add your name to our list of supporters, I just need your name, address, and phone number. Would you like to add your name to our list of supporters?” to which 1 like to respond, “No” and then just see what they come up with. “What?” and “OK, how may I help you?” are the standards, which make me have to think of more witty things to say. My favorite reply was, “Well then, would you like to order a free trial copy of Soldier of Fortune magazine?” Or if Pat Buchanan is too scary for you, try the Bob Dole campaign. Their number is 1-800-BOB-DOLE. Catchy, huh? Sort of like the man himself. If you call the Dole for President number, you’ll hear Bob Dole sayi_ng: “This is Bob Dole. Thank you for calling. Eliza- beth and I would be honored to have your support. America needs strong leadership, and with your help, we can rein in the federal government, reconnect it to our values, and reassert our influence abroad. But it ’s not going to happen without a lot of hard work. That ’s why we appreciate your willingness to help.” Then you’ll be invited to learn more about how you can join the Dole for President team or give a donation by phone. This might not sound like as much fun as harass- ing real live people late at night, but with a little creativity, it can be much more effective. The first thing you should know about politics, just in case you don’t know anything about it yet, is that there is one thing that can give you political influence when nothing else can. No, l’m not talking about voting. No, l’m not talking about wearing a big red-white-and-blue button featuring a goofy mug shot of your favorite candidate. No, l’m not even talking about being informed about the issues. (I do, however, recommend these, too.) No, what l’m talk- ing about is DONATING BIG MONEY. That’s right. If you can even hint to the right people that you’ve got some big money to hand around, you could become a candidate’s best friend. Suddenly you’ll be invited to breakfasts and lun- cheons and dinners and speeches and garden parties and private teas, oh my! Your candidate will forget about his own political stands and suddenly become interested in what YOU think about a balanced budget, illegal immigration, and a whole host of pet issues you might want to bring up with him. What’s that you’re saying? You don’t have big money, but you’d like a piece of the action, too? You think you have something to say about important issues that might be constructive or instructive? Well, just do what I did. When Bob Dole finishes talking, hit 2 to donate big cash. l’m not saying you should lie and say you’re ready to sign over your life savings. l’m just saying that maybe, when the record- ing asks how much you would like to donate, go for the grand, man. I pledged $1000, the federal indi- vidual contribution limit. Now, l’m not sure yet if I ’ll be able to afford to actually include a check in the envelope that arrived in my mailbox a few days later when I return it to the campaign, but I will definitely be including a short note letting them know exactly where I think the campaign may be coming up short in the ideas department. Hey, all’s fair in love, war and politics, so enjoy yourself! And remember, when the only way to get a presidential candidate eager to tear into a letter from an ordinary citizen is to make him think it’s stuffed with cash, don’t be shy in letting him know what you think about that. - OCR::/Vol_095_096/WLURG39_RTP_19950922/WLURG39_RTP_19950922_006.2.txt Growing up and getting published DREAM LAND Richard Weaver I realize it’s fairly well-known that I found a great deal of inspiration from my mail. This week it wasn’t just an inspiration; it was a calling. A letter arrived offering me a “once in a life- time experience.” “My knees turned to jelly” is how Kathleen Sue Jones of Carmichael, California described it when it happened to her. Alvin Tresselt, “Dean of Faculty” at “The Institute of Children’s Litera- ture,” wanted me to send in a writing sample for a children’s book! Alvin implied that “the heaven-on-earth tum- ing point will be your first letter of acceptance from an editor, followed by the unforgettable experience of seeing your words and your name in print.” Alvin even sent a little book cover with my name and “Growing Up” on it. As I went through the letter 1 saw that Deborah Wells of Leesburg, Vir- ginia also said her “knees turned to jelly.” This was too good to pass up. l’ve decided that my new goal is to write a children’s book. I want my knees to turn to jelly. Alvin even offered to enroll me in a special class if my story was not yet quite ready for publication, for a spe- cial fee. In fact, there was a important notice that the Connecticut Board of State Academic Awards recommended I receive 6 college credits should I complete Alvin’s special children’s book course. I of their story before actually writing it. It allows you to sketch out your ideas so that, in my case, they fit into my allotted column space in the Phi. Since I will most likely need a cor- porate sponsor to pay for the publica- tionof my children’s think it’s pretty obvious that this wouldbeanexcel- lent replacement for taking a Spring Term class, in- stead of taking something silly story I have no z qualms at all about throwing in refer- ences to any num- ber of products. In fact, I may even hold some sort of auction for the right to ap- here at W&L, pear in my story. like Biology. My story is “But where roughly like this: a will I get the idea for a children’s story?” I asked myself out loud. I little boy named Brian, in Nike Air shoes, walked into the Dollar Tree in thought about Lexington where he writing about sawforsale(forone Jimmy, a seven- dollar) a Super year-old heroin Power Robot addict, but since Ranger plastic claw that had been done already, I took the letter’s advice and decided to draw from my own experi- ences and then make up details to make them interesting. it’s common practice for serious writers like myself to write a synopsis Announcing... The Ring-tum Ph1"s new e-mail address: ph1'@WIu.edu Use The Phfs new e-mail address to send letters to the editor, items for General Notes, or story ideas. (they’re in the toy aisle—really). Brian thought, “Wow, wouldn’t it be neat to have a cheap Mighty Morphin Power Rangers knock-off toy!” He stuck his hand in the back pocket of his Levi jeans to pull out his wallet when his conscience began to speak: “Brian, you can’t buy this product; it would deprive the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Industrial Corporation of its due royalties. Brian, how would it make you feel if you made only $100 million off your line of overpriced, easily breakable plastic toys?” Brian thought about it for a while and realized the moral of the story, which he noted came on the second to last page of the story, was to give people their due credit (and money). To rip off the Power Rangers would not only be a mean thing to do, their lawyers might have to come to your house to turn your knees to jelly, if you understand what I’m saying. Brian walked next door to Wal- Mart, where he bought several Mighty Morphin Power Ranger products, as well as more Levi jeans. ‘‘It feels good knowing l’ve ben- efited corporate America,” Brian said. And he headed home to his parents, who reminded him that this is what “Growing Up” is all about. The End. If a story like this can get me six credits, I don’t care what anybody else thinks: I’ll tell it to my future children, and say, “This is what Daddy learned in college.” And they’ll be proud. And then they’ll go out and buy me something.
