In looking for the next form of entertainment for W&L they sought something different, fun and funky. They choose something that would stand out from the traditional bands that come to W&L parties. BY GINGER PHILLIPS T STAFF '\X/RITET2 Washington and Lee students know Wayne of Night Owl Music as the local music guru. But this weekend, Wayne, a former W&L student, will kick off his shoes and party with his customers. On Saturday, Wayne will host local bands at the first Night Owl Music Band Partv. According to Wayne, bands scheduled to per- form include recording artists :Magraw Gap (whose bluegrass lsounds are familiar to the W&L “social scene); singer/songwriter Leslie Tucker; the man and wife duo Jones and Leva; the “swing/ jazz/bluegrass” and Greenhouse Defect; the String Dusters, with their “fiat-pickin’, ragtime” beat ; SHOW|NGisupp0rt for local musicians, Wayne Raynal will sponsor a band party in the parking lot next to Night Owl Music on S.

The first band will crank it up at 11:30 a.m. in the parking lot beside Domino’s Pizza on S. Jefferson Street. “Let’s pray for good weather,” Wayne said, “because if it rains, we’re going to have to move it inside and that might be a little uncomfortable.” If you want to check out one of the musicians before theshow, or you find that you just can’t get enough ofthem after the party, you can visit Wayne’ at Night Owl Mu- sic, 25 S. Jefferson Street. “You can buy new and used al- bums, CDs and tapes or order what you want for at least a dollar less than the standard price,” says Wayne. Volunteer programs offer students the chance to learn from the young and the old, While making important contributions to individuals’ lives BY IEE ANNE APPLEGATE ——————?———— STAFF WRHER The language of love is uni- versal. Although students may not understand the Czech lan- guage in “Kolya,” the Film So_ciety’s first fall flick will speak to the heart. ~ The l997.movie from the Czech Republic won the Acad- emy Award for Best Foreign Film. The story is set in the era of the “Velvet Revolution,” and tells of an old musician who be- comes the guardian of a small Russianboy. President of the Film Society Marisa Frost (‘98) voted to run the light-hearted “Kolya” (in Czech with subtitles) because she likes to open the students up to things that aren’t in English. Troubador brings free flicks to Lex The society will also show “Looking for Richard” (Sept. 26 and 27) and “Everyone Says I Love You” (Oct. 10 and ll). “Looking for Richard” is a documentary about the making of actor/director Al Pacino’s “Richard III.” Shakespeare fans may be in- terested in the film’s revealing foot- age of Shakespeare’s “Richard III,” as well as background on the history and staging ofthe play. “Everyone Says I Love You” is Woody Allen’s 26th film, but his first musical. The film won acclaim for the juxtaposition of nostalgic songs and its contemporary setting in New York, Venice. Allen avoided casting professional sing- ers, so with the exception of Drew Barrymore, the actors (including Allen, Tim Roth, Goldie Hawn and Alan Alda) croon the tunes themselves. “Everyone knows Woody Allen!” said Frost. But not every- one might know another more lo- cal attraction: senior Molly Norton’s brother. Edward Norton, who plays the love in- terest of Barrymore’s character. “If it weren’t for the movies provided by the Film Society,” Frost noted, “many students would otherwise avoid foreign and non-mainstream films. Everyone should try and take advantage of the screenings because they’re free movies and the best movies." Screenings begin at 7:30 in the Troubadour Cinema on the corner of Henry and Main.

Be a mentor BY MATT GOOCH STAFF Wanna Hope had decided by the fifih grade that she would drop out of school in the 10th grade just as her mother did. Hope’s guidance counselor, some- what troubled by the lack ofdirec- tion in the young girl’s life, re- ferred Hope to Lexington’s Big Brother/Big Sister Outreach Program, part of Washington and Lee’s University Federation. Upon meeting the troubled youth, junior Elizabeth Houston learned that Hope’s favorite pastime was bowling. “Really?” Houston asked, “Do you bowl a lot?” The young girl shook her head, “No, I’ve only been twice.” That aftemoon, Houston took Hope bowling, later de- scribing the seemingly mundane experience as “incredible” and “moving.” “I never would have thought that I could have brought so much happiness into a little girl’s life,” Houston says. olu , “Anything we did, whether it was bowling or the movies or lunch on the playground, was for Hope the most exciting thing in her life.” The Big Brother/ Big Sister program is designed to pro- vide positive role models for elementary- middle-or high- school students in Lexington whose parents are either not in the home or too busy for their children. By sharing quality time with these area youths, the big brothers and sisters hope to make a difference and observe positive changes in the behavior and rationale of the youngsters. The local program is autonomous from the national Big Brother/ Sister Program, which necessitates local ini- tiative here at W&L. Students interested in participating, should watch for upcoming signs and announcements. President Matt Craig said, the program is in desperate need of volunteers, especially boys, that will provide di- rection and role models for the area’s young people. pOr‘!l’lIlI%I i BY ADAM ROOT STAFF WRFTER Of the several service organiza- tions in the Lexington area, the Rockbridge Area Hospice is certainly S one of the finest. The essential goal ofthe Hospice is to provide home care to terminally ill patients. Moreover, the Hospice fulfills both the spiritual and physical needs of patients and their families. Dr. Mimi Elrod, a great admirer of volunteer work, feels the Hospice is “an absolutely wonderful service. The patients want to have their loved ones near them and want to be in familar surroundings.” There are many ways Washington and Lee students can become involved with the Hospice. For example, a student may take on the role of a patient care volunteer and help care for terminally ill patients who wish to stay at home. A student could also become a special—events volunteer. Special events volunteers give out informa- tion about Hospice speakers and petition for grants. There are also office volunteers, many of whom are W&L stu- dents, who file papers and help with computer work. Because the Hospice is currently holding its 1997 fall volunteer training program, it’s the ideal time for students to get involved. Margaret Watkins, who has served at the Hos- pice for three years, both recruits and supervises the volun- teers. Watkins explains that her goal for the Hospice is “to enable them (the patients) to live life fully." She has also formulated her own personal ideas about the benefits of volunteerism: “When you help people, you gain back a tre- mendous amount of knowledge and insight into what people can cope with under such adversity.“ A future Hospice activity that W&L students can par- ticipate in is “Hussle for Hospice,” a five-mile hike around town. Watkins hopes W&L fraternities and sororities will sponsor the event to be held on Oct. 19.

When Doug can take his German mother there and she en- joys the food. Edelweiss, located north of Lexington off I-81, offers tasty German fare at reasonable prices. The rustic log-cabin atmo- sphere and authentic music create a unique experience for those who are adventurous. We first visited Edelweiss in mid-August, stopping in during the early evening as we drove home from a friend’s wedding (the source of last week’s dubious picture). We entered to find a small, intimate atmo- sphere with seating for 40 patrons. The hostess quickly seated us at a cozy corner table and presented an enticing menu. Doug chose the Sauerbraten, an old family favorite consisting of thin roast beef in a special sour German sauce, while Robin selected Rindsrouladen, beef tenderloins wrapped in ba- con with carrots. Both dishes came with side orders of green beans, cabbage, red cabbage and spatzel (short, fat German noodles). While we waited for our main dishes, we enjoyed fresh rolls with butter. The main course arrived quickly; although its appearance lacked the polish found in res- taurants such as the Sheridan Livery Inn, the food was tasty and very filling. We lingered over the meal and after eating so much were unable to partake of dessert. Since our visit, Doug has returned twice with other company. He has sampled two dishes, the Rindsrouladen (which Robin recommended) and the Huhnerbrust, chicken breasts in a wine sauce. He also tried the Black Forest Cake and decided it was an ex- cellent resolution to a delightful meal when combined with coffee. Doug’s only remaining obstacle is to get Dirk, his Dutch boss, to accompany him on his next visit. Edelweiss, like the Pink Cadillac Diner, requires a short drive from Lexington, but the unique and deli- cious food at both these restaurants makes the trip worth- while. Edelweiss offers an excellent option for an unusual date or a night out of town with friends. Go to Staunton to catch a movie and stop by Edelweiss for some Ger- man food on the way. W&life Senior ventures far afield in Venezuela Q. 3 3 01 no ‘I N no 0 -1 01 BY STEPHE\J Pasce ‘——‘:‘j STAFF WRITER Last winter, Kate Giese, a senior Poli- tics major, stepped away from the Wash- ington and Lee lifestyle. After two and a half years of the same types of classes, Giese realized the importance of learning off campus. Giese participated in a 15-week pro- gram in Venezuela through the School of International Training. The program was divided into three parts. For the first six weeks, Giese lived with a local family while studying the Spanish lan- guage at the University of the Andes in Meridia. At first, Giese found that her communication skills were lacking. “They spoke so fast. Everything was so overwhelming.” The experience in Venezuela opened Giese’s eyes to the differences and qualities of cultures. “I found out they have a different concept of privacy than we do here,” said Giese. “When I first got there, the entire family, the father, and all the brothers, went into my room to unpack my suitcases.” Kate Giese left behind the class- rooms of Washington and Lee to learn more about the Spanish language, ecology and herself Although the language and culture barriers were difficult to overcome at first, the sensitivity of her host family and the community as a whole encour- aged Giese while she improved her communication skills. The peaceful demeanor of the people, called tranquillo, greatly struck Giese as unusual and refreshing. Giese recalls “riding up in the mountains in old, beat-up vans that would occasionally break down. When this happens, every- one calmly gets out of the van and calmly waits for the next van.” Giese’s studies were not confined to Venezuelan language and culture. Dur- ing the second part of the program, Giese examined various ecosystems: the central plains, the Caribbean coast, the mountain rainforest and the Andean cloud forest. For six weeks Giese and the other students traveled to the different ecosystems to ob- serve and study. Giese met students from all over the world. ‘ “There weren’t many students from the U.S. Many came from Western Eu- rope. Russia and Venezuela. Americans tend to go to Europe; whereas people from other parts of the world tend to go down there.” Although their native cultures and lan- guages were varied, they shared common interests, spirit, love for learning and open- mindedness. The final three weeks of the program constituted the Independent Studies Project. Students were encouraged to expand their knowledge of a specific topic in the region of their choice. Giese chose to study fishing regulations and declining fish populations in the Orinoco RiverBasin in Llanos. Afierthey finished, the students met again in Meridia to share their projects with each other. When the 15 weeks were over, Giese had grown accustomed to her life in Ven- PAGE 5 ezuela. “I didn't want to leave,” Giese claims. “I definitely want to go back.” I Many of her new fiiends stayed and found internships and job opportunities. Giese returned to Lexington for the sum- mer and was a Robert E. Lee Research Scholar. Recently, she was named one of 70 national recipients of a Morris K. Udall Scholarship for environmental policy. Giese calls her experience in Ven- ezuela, “One of the best things I’ve ever done. I would recommend study abroad to anyone.” W&L offers many opportunities to study abroad. Students should con- tact Tiffany Cummings in the Office of International Education. Environmental studies in a less exotic locale Giese’s program dealt with a topic that is fairly new to the W&L cur- riculum: Environmental Studies. When Giese entered W&L in 1994, she was “surprised at the lack of any program for environmental studies.” In 1995, then Dean of Academic Affairs John Elrod catalyzed the effort to fill this gap. “He brought people togetherto brainstorm, and then established a commit- tee,” explained Associate Dean Kenneth Ruscio, now chairman of the Environ- mental Studies Committee. “The committee came up with a proposal. We’ve been in the process of implementing that piece by piece over the years.” The Committee’s intends to establish an environmental studies program incorporating guest lecturers, special events and an expanded curriculum. “One of the things the program is trying to do is provide informal links between study abroad, Outing Club and speakers,” says Ruscio. “We see this as an interdisciplinary field, but still one which requires students to have a disciplinary base to work from.” Giese envies students who have the opportunity to participate in the new program. “It’s great,” she says. “Attitudes around campus have changed greatly towards environmental issues.” Other students apparently share Giese’s enthusiasm. “We thought there would be a high demand, but it’s been beyond our expectations,” admits Ruscio. The program is open to all majors; its goal is to involve a wide array of disciplines. Interested students can pick up a copy of the program’s newsletter in the Williams School, or talk to a committee member. $§‘ Guaranteed Credit cards with Credit Limits Up To $10,000 Within Days!

Hathom is also impressed with the team’s eight freshmen, who are very capable of playing on the varsity level. The fresh- men have played so well that Hathom feels they have raised the playing level ofthe entire team. “This team is the most motivated I've had in a long time,” Hathom said. ‘‘We’ 11 see what we are made ofin the next couple of weeks.” ' The women’s soccer team, which was picked third in the preseason ODAC coaches poll, beat Kenyon Sat- urday 1-0, and Randolph-Macon Women's College 4-1 Sunday. Men’s_ Soccer With the returning core of last year’s record setting 12-6 team and an incoming wealth of freshmen talent, W&L’s men's soccer team should be vying for the ODAC championship for the second year in a row. This year’s team boasts three re- turning All-ODAC performers, as well eight other veterans from last year’s squad which finished second in the ODAC tournament. The defense, al- ways a strong point for W&L soccer, will be anchored again this year by All-American sweeper Michael Parker. With Senior Kingsly Chukwu and sophomore Ben Thompson secur- ing the backfield, the defense should’ be solid. The real story on this team, how- ever, is the potent offensive threat. In past years, the team has had trouble putting the ball in the back of the net. Not this year, says Coach Rolf Piranian. “Last year we relied on two players to do most of our scoring,” stated Piranian. “This year, we have four or five guys and we expect to score from a ' lot of different places.” The two guys Piranian was refer- ring to are junior Sam Chase and sophomore Jamie Parker. Last year, Parker broke the school record for goals and points set by Chase the pre— ' vious year. Chase is already sixth on the all-time point list with 63. «The most improved aspect of the team is the midfield. Experienced players Mike Germain,‘ Scott Letourneau and Mike Kaczka should provide stability to a midfield infused with new talent. ' ’ The shaky spot for the Generals may prove to be the lack of experi- ence at the goalie position. With start- ing keeper E. J. Murphy sidelined with an injury, freshman Jordan Ginsberg will be starting in goal. Ginsberg looked sharp in a preseason scrim- mage last Saturday but has not yet proven himself in league competition. son. In fact, Head Coach Jim Men’s Cross Country Washington and Lee’s Men’s Cross Country program, a virtual mainstay at the university since 1915, embarks on its 83rd year of competi- tion this fall with many expectations and few question marks. Head Coach John Tucker believes that this year's strong senior class (Jason Callen, Will Olsen, Greg Ruthig, and Taylor Shultz), coupled with last season's disappointing 2nd place finish in the conference should have the Generals in the thick of things for athird ODAC championship in the past four years and a possible NCAA Division III championship berth. The team quali- fied for the NCAAs in 1995 and won consecutive ODAC championships in 1994 and 1995 before last season’s setback. . Senior Jason Callen has been All- Region, All-State, and All-ODAC each of his first three years and was the ODAC Runner of the Year in 1995. Senior Will Olson was All-State and All-ODAC after finishing second in the two races. Senior Taylor Shultz has been All-state has been for the past two years and was All-Region in 1995. Junior Darrick Alford is a key returner and freshman Alex Taylor should also be a nice addition to an already talented squad. ' Women’s Cross Country The traditionally strong Washing- ton and Lee Women’s Cross Country program kicks off a new season this fall with high hopes of defending its ODAC championship of last season. In fact, Head Coach Jim Phemister’s Generals have become somewhat of a dynasty in ODAC competition, win- ning four out of the last five champi- onships. Hoping to pave the way for this year's squad is senior Carson Flowers, who was ODAC Runner of the Year last season and also earned All-State honors. Other top returnees include juniors Lisa Brennan and Natasha Dorofeeva. Brennan was All- ODAC last year after running sixth at the conference championship meet and Dorofeeva has been All-State each of her first two seasons after fin- ishing second both times. CD FA N CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 was never a dull moment with Whitey in the booth. Ironically, the day ofhis death, the Phillies were playing the Mets, the team Ashbum finished his career with in 1962 and the worst team in base- ball history. And the Phillies won 1- 0 that night. Ashbum wore #1 with the Phillies. We’ll miss you, Whitey. I'll now devote the rest of this week’s space to recapping the good, the bad and the ugly events of the summer of 1997: The Good: *Who can forget Davis Love III’s triumphant walk to the 18th green at the PGA Championship with the rainbow overhead? The rainbow symbolized the end of a long drought for Love, who was often labeled the best player never to win a major championship *The Pittsburgh Pirates and Mil- waukee Brewers, two small-market baseball franchises who are constantly rebuilding, have contended for the first place in their divisions through out the summer. The Bad: *While the Brewers hung with the Indians in the AL central, the large-market White Sox waved the surrender flag and dismantled their team, trading Wilson Alvarez and Roberto Hernandez, even though they were only 31/2 games out of the first at the time. Too bad they didn’t dump Belle. *Jerry Jones bragged all through training camp about how he was re- making the Cowboys’ image. It so inspired Deion Sanders that he de- cided to become a minister and Sports SEPTEMBER 15, 1997 Michael Irvin decided he liked foot- ball again. Too bad Jerry didn’t tell Barry Switzer. Switzer, who usually plays four cards short of a full deck, tried to pass through an airport metal detector with a hand gun. Like that would have frightened anybody. The Cowboys ended camp by trashing their dorms and urinating on the car- pet. Yup, same ol’ Boys. *Old favorite Allen Iverson, per- haps thinking he was on the I-81 dragstrip between Lexington and Roanoke, was in a car that was stopped for going 93 in a 65 mile an hour zone east of Richmond. With marijuana on the car floor, no less. The Ugly: *The Mike Tyson- Evander Holyfield horror show. I’ll spare the cliches. *Mount Bryan Cox, which was only dormant for about nine months, erupted Labor Day night in Green Bay. Cox, who rampaged his way to THREE unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, including two on the same play, acted so foolishly that his own wife wouldn't speak to him for sev- eral days. *Washington’s Mike Westbrook turned into one of Compton's Most Wanted after his bloody, apparently unprovoked, attack on teammate Stephen Davis. Coach Norv Turner then had to remind Westbrook that he was in Westminster, Maryland, not South Central, LA. God help us all if West brook and Davis ever step onto the same offensive huddle this season. It could ignite the first bench—clear— ing brawl in NFL history involving only one team.

Well, regardless, this all reminds me ofa story I heard from one of the entities living in my brain: Apparently, this entity was the soul of a man named John who was formerly employed in a frame manu- facturing plant.
