Washington and Lee University l ‘ Monday VOLUME 100, NUMBER 19 MARCH 30, 1998 ‘Save the trees is BAMBI ENJOYS the woods that some feel are doomed by the Master Plan. XSAB stands behind «band, money choices BY GINGER PHILLIPS —-———————-—- STAFF WRITER «{ As the legend goes, “REM”, once played at Washington and Lee’s Fancy Dress. Every year people talk about the what ifs and the maybes and the “I will definitely go ifs.” : This year, the big names thrown around the colonnade included, “The Mighty Mighty Boss Tones”, “Black Crowes” and the “Beastie Boys.” Real- ity? The “Violent Femmes.” ‘=’ The SAB sold around 1300 of the I 800 tickets, said Philippe Barret, SAB treasurer. Although the concert did not sell out, Wes Armstrong, SAB president, ,, said the percentage of W&L students ‘ was greater than in years past. In the past four years, only Coolio and “Widespread Panic” have played to sold out crowds at the Student Pavil- "l ion. Amistrong attributes this sell out to the purchase of tickets by local resi- dents and high school students. Despite the recent wave of criticism Q the SAB has received, Chris Noland, vice-president of entertainment, feels the interests of the student body are at the heart of its decisions and existence. The SAB encourages any unsatis- '4 fied student to become personally in- volved with the SAB in the following years. The current board consists of 62 members who vote on the band choice. This year their choices included Bruce Homsby and the “Gibb Droll Band.” According to Noland, more than 35 bands were considered based on price and availability. Some bands like “Wide- spread Panic” were out of the country during the week of FD. Barret said the SAB looks to spend between $30,000 and $50,000 on an FD band. At a total cost of $30,000, the “Vio- lent Femmes” were cheaper than Coolio or “Widespread Panic.” Top dollar bands like the “Beastie Boys” are too expensive. The SAB is funded by the Execu- tive Committee through student ac- tivity fees. Of the $135 fee each stu- dent pays, about 25 percent of that or $34 goes to SAB. Armstrong says the SAB spends every cent it is allocated each year. Generally students pay be- tween $10-12 for tickets to the “big” concerts of the year: Homecoming, Christmas Weekend and FD. The SAB also funded hypnotist Tom Deluca in February and the band “Right On” during freshman orientation. “We figure if the EC gives it to us we should spend it,” Armstrong said. The SAB is in good financial shape. It is trying to put together some Spring Term concerts and it will put money into the Buffalo Creek Music Festival this year as it has in years past. Courtney Miller contributed to this article Students support car, not bikeculture BY WILL HARDIE —-——--—?-News EDITOR en President John Elrod first arrived at Washington and Lee, he asked Facilities Planning Coordinator Frank Parsons why there were so few bicycle racks on campus. “I said to him, ‘it’s hard to park a BMW in a bicycle rack,’” said Parsons. A student on a bicycle is still a rare sight at W&L, a fact that vexes Uni- versity planners working on the long- temr development master plan. “If more students would ride their bikes instead of driving their sport- utility vehicles, it would solve a lot of our traffic problems,” said Par- sons, who is known in University planning circles as “The Parking Czar.” The master plan mentions cy- cling, but proposes no changes to encourage it. “Although the campus is gener- ally compact and conducive to bi- cycle transportation, very little use appears to be made of bikes on cam- pus,” the document reads. “There _ is a bike rack at Graham Lees Donni- tory which gets good use, but stu- dents are seldom seen on bikes!” Parsons said that many students use their cars for unnecessarily short journeys, such as from Davidson Park fraternities to the “Corral” parking lot on Jefferson Street. Such journeys could easily be made by bicycle, saving parking spaces and easing road congestion. “It ought to be an idea that would occur to students who are as smart as they are suppose to be here,” Parsons said. “The ultimate human quest to- day is not a cure for cancer or world peace or getting to Mars, it is for the parking place of ultimate proximity.” Senior Brian Fobi shipped his bi- cycle to W&L from Oregon three years ago, but still has not ridden it in Lexington. Although W&L’s ge- ography might be conducive to cy- cling, he said that the attitudes of its students are not. “It’s a car culture,” he said. “They think riding bikes is a high- school thing.” Parsons agrees that social mores make all the difference, and added BY KATHRYN MAYURNIK e—MANAcINo EDITOR Junior Rhett Stook, an avid outdoorsman and a member of the Out- ing Club, stood on top of Jump Moun- tain Saturday, looking out over the ter- rain of the Lexington area. One of the main reasons that Stook came to Washington and Lee was to take advantage of the outdoors. As he soaked up the view, Stook wondered if the several million dollars worth of ad- ditions to W&L, which will be added in the next several years, will be visable some- day from the peak of the mountain. He, and other members of the Outing Club, feel that the master plan, especially plans to build a new baseball. field between the pavilion and the law school parking lot, will encroach on the community’s enjoy- ment of the landscape. “I feel that the woods in that area are a valuable resource to W&L and the Lexington community,” said Stook. Stock is also concerned that the con- struction will affect the trails in that area. “I spend a lot of time back there moun- tain biking,” Stook said. However, President Elrod be- lieves that Outing Club’s concerns are “ill founded” and the new base- ball field and other projects will not affect the trails. “The stand of trees in that area where the trails are will not be removed,” Elrod said. “The wooded sight line will remain.” However, Elrod does admit that the woods where the baseball field will be built will have to be cleared. “But, to my knowledge, the baseball field will not affect the trails in any way,” Elrod said. Coordinator of Facilities Planning, Frank Parsons, said “ he didn’t know” if the trails would be affected. “But I do know that this school needs a new baseball field, .and that is very important to the atheltic program,” said Parsons. “And there are trails that cross that area where the baseball field will be built I think if the Outing Club is con- cerned about the removal of the trails, they should meet with us and suggest where we can build new ones.” Parsons said it is unfortunate that trees need to be cut down, but says that this is a necessary step toward improv- ing the university. “Sometimes its impractical to put a lot of money into saving trees when the trees end up having to be taken down anyway,” said Parsons said. Many of the trees, like the ones on the sorority house site, are old and , says outing club rotting and ready to come down any- way, Parsons said. “Those pine trees by the pavillion are only there because they were planted by the university in the first place And those trails haven’t been there since the Indi- ans either.” Nonetheless, Stook feels that the master plan is an omen of doom for W&L’s landscape. “I foresee this campus expanding into the woods even more as the years go on,” he said. “Before you know it, nothing will be left.” Stephanie Miller, a member of the Outing Club, agrees. “It is just a valuable resource,” Miller said. “Chances are, the deple- tion of that resource will continue, and it seems like such a shame to lose that.” W E HAVE ll\l A Senior Bill Warnock vivaciously leaps for his “sock ball, " as senior Reed Deupree looks on. Many students took advantage of the 85 degree weather this weekend Hollister Hovey/Photo Editor that students’ tastes can be fickle. “If more people [started cycling], all of a sudden it would become the in thing to do,” he said. Because bicycle racks are already available and parking spaces are scarce, there is little more that the University can do to encourage cy- cling. Parsons said that the admin- istration would be reluctant to try to coerce students away from their cars, because such a move would be unpopular and would draw accu- sations of authoritarianism, cur- rently a sensitive issue. Though cycling is healthier than driving, Parsons said that some may be put off by the risk of an accident. “Riding a bike in Lexington can be adventurous in terms of personal safety,” he said. Lexington’s roads are narrow and often lined with parked cars, and its drivers are not always attentive to cy- clists, he said. “Even if half of students started cycling and the other half stick with cars, ifthey kept going at the speed they do now, there would still be a problem. “Nothing would be more pleas- ant than if more students would ride bicycles, but I don’t know the magic words that would make them do it.” Delt house, a very, very fine house, residents say BY CHRSTINA JULLIAN —j—————- STAFF WRITER What happens when you put 18 girls from four different sororities in one house? Not what most would expect. In its first year as a residence facility, the former Delta Tau Delta House has proven to be a success. The house provides a unique housing opportunity for sorority members while serving as an al- ternative to Gaines Hall or Woods Creek. “The Delt House is used pri- marily as a residence facility, but it also holds sorority functions,” said Sarah McCrone, Panhellenic president. Currently 18 women from four sororities occupy the house. Although Kappa Kappa Gamma’s national charter prohib- ited them from living there this year, but several Kappas will live in the Delt House next year. The women in the house now have enjoyed the luxuries it af- fords. Elizabeth Harvey, sopho- more KD, said, “The Delt House is really awesome, and I think it’s even better than the frats. Every- thing is new and the house pro- vides many amenities. It’sjust like being at home.” The house has a living room, breakfast room, kitchen, and TV room for its residents. Harvey be- lieves that it far surpasses Gaines. Some people think that those in the Delt House are isolated, but Harvey disagreed. “We are actually less isolated than you might think. We get to live with about 20 others whereas those in Gaines live in much smaller groups.” Harvey also noted that as a special bonus they are able to mingle when sororities have func- tions downstairs. Because the Delt House has been so successful, many fresh- men were eager to live in it next year. Any interested sorority mem- ber turned in her name to her so- rority representative on the Panhellenic Council, and lots were drawn to see who the lucky women would be. Georgianna Hickam, a freshmen Chi Omega, was pleased with the results. _ “It looks like we’re going to have a great group of girls in the house next year. I’m looking for- ward to becoming friends with women from other sororities.” Sarah Riggs, a freshmen Kappa, is also excited about meeting other women. “The Delt House might serve in breaking barriers between the sorori- ties. We’ll have a great opportunity to interact with people we may oth- erwise never know.” Riggs decided to live in the Delt House because of its accommodations. “Since our class won’t have a chance to live in sorority houses, the Delt House will provide the type ofcamaraderie found in a so- rority house,” Riggs said. “It will be a very beneficial experience.” OCR::/Vol_099_100/WLURG39_RTP_19980330/WLURG39_RTP_19980330_002.2.txt PAGE 2 Don’t you ever wish you could have been Eric Swensen? I wish I was Eric Swensen. I wish I was Kevin McManemin. Heck, sometimes I wish I was Jackie Terrebone. I’ve been an editor on the Phi since spring term of last year, and in that time, I’ve had to bite my glib lip and hold my opinionated tongue every time the Phi received a letter about how much I suck or how much the paper sucks in general. I hold great envy for those ""' r Y Ti-+E)‘lHl£: V Le:ters to the Zimmer makes ammends Dear Editor: In the March 23, 1998, edition of the Ring—tum Phi, I was quoted in the “Talk Back” section of your paper in response to the question, “What would it take to get you to a W&L athletic event?” I responded “A competent W&L team.” This response, accurately quoted, was poorly worded on my part. It conveyed a meaning that I did not intend. Due to the offense that has been taken by mem- bers of ’The the W&L community with regard to my quote, I ask that you please print the following clarification in your next issue. I have said a lot of stupid things in my life. After 53 phone calls, 12 angry letters, 25 menacing e-mails, 2 death threats, and 3 burning efligies of myself, I must rank my response to the Phi’s “Talk Back” question in last week’s issue among the most idiotic of them. In that publication, I said that it would take “a competent W&L team” to get me to go to a W&L athletic event. While I meant what I said (and I was accurately quoted), what I said was not what I meant. Okay, that didn’t make any sense. What I’m trying to say is that what I actually meant by my quote was that I go to W&L athletic events in order to see com- petent W&L teams play. I was not (intentionally) implying that we have no such teams‘. Granted, my response was poorly worded to say the least, and if I weren’t me, and I read what I had said, not only would I be unsure of my identity in this twisted hypothetical situation, but I would also think, like many of the Phi’s readers" did, that I (the “I” who was quoted) was an ignorant jerk who knew nothing about the hard- working, talented W&L teams I was bashing. In fact, I would be the first to burn myself in efilgy while damning me to hell. But alas, the whole thing was a mistake. I chose my words carelessly and ended up offending people. For all of you I unintentionally slighted, please accept my sincere apologies. I am aware of the successes of W&L athletics and furthermore am proud of them. So please accept my sincere apologies. I am aware of the successes of W&L athletics and furthermore am proud of them. SO please forgive me and whoever left that headless chicken on my doorstep, please remove it. Sincerely, John Zimmer ’00 A modest proposal for smokers Dear Editor, Having witnessed the suffering of out smokers during the recent cold snaps and monsoons, I am moved to offer this proposal on their behalf: That we construct some well-ventilated gazebos, per- haps modeled after our seemingly-trademark gatehouses, at suitable locations around campus (though certainly not anywhere which could be seen from our historic front lawn). Within each would be a 55-gallon oil drum and a plentiful stack of butt ends of 2x45, which, as anyone who’s spent time around a construction site in cold weather knows, provide the world’s warmest heat. Hardhats would ‘i —- Maciej Golubiewski ’99 “I haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about the Phi.” — Elizabeth Huston ’99 V R1iog—a1m Phi’ be optional. In warmer weather, he drums could be filled with sand, loosely packed, and serve as ashtrays. Smokers could alsox use the sand to bury their heads in, should they be as- sailed, no matter how civilly, with antismoking rhetoric. Patrick Hinely ’7 3 Sexual misconduct is the worst kind of honor violation There is a disturbing trend at this university to View dis-y honorable conduct only in terms of lying, cheating and steal- ing. Lee’s concept of honor was meant to apply not only to academic situations, but to social ones as well. The Student Handbook acknowledges this — in most cases. For example, the Student Judicial Council rules, which deal with most)‘ non-academic violations, list physical assault and “(activi- ties) which endanger a person” as violations which require “immediate suspension” (p. 28). The Handbook treats situations involving sexual mis- conduct differently Sexual misconduct can include, but is‘ not limited to, forced sexual contact, physical assault with sexual intent, and forced sexual intercourse. Of these, only a conviction of rape requires the penalty of dismissal from the university. A conviction of another form of sexual mis-x conduct warrants lesser penalties. All fomis of sexual misconduct should be punished by dismissal from the University. Matters involving sexual misconduct are matters of honor. We consider stealing to be an honor violation ~—- regardless of whether the amount)» stolen is $10 or $10,000 — and sanction it with dismissal. Why? Because “honor is not measured by degree.” The pun- ishment does not reflect the magnitude of the crime, but rather the student’s disregard for standards of honorabl conduct. Likewise, a person convicted of any form of sexual‘ misconduct should not be allowed to remain at this Univer- sity simply because he did not rape. Currently, a student found guilty of sexual misconduct (other than rape) can be penalized with counseling, con‘. duct probation, and/or social probation. Ifit happened again, chances are it would never be reported; less than 1 in 100 acquaintance rapes are. Yet, oddly enough, that same stu- dent could steal from you and the University would expel him as a matter of honor. V The message this sends is disturbing — it is less of a breach of honor to sexually assault a girl that it is to steal a few dollars from a classmate. How can we make this kind of claim? Sexual misconduct is the worst kind of honor vio- lation — it is lying, cheating and stealing all at once — and is of greater gravity than a violation of academic trust. Lee would be appalled. His standard of gentlemanly conduct did not end at the classroom door. It applied then, and should still apply today, to all areas of student life. Sexual assault and rape are violations of honor and trust which strike at the heart of the ideals on which this University was founded. How can students who commit such crimes be deemed hon- orable? “ Kristen Hitchens ’00 I What was your opiriieri of the P121’ this year?_., “I don’t think you want my quote.” -— Cassie Shaner ’00 K OCR::/Vol_099_100/WLURG39_RTP_19980330/WLURG39_RTP_19980330_003.2.txt 1 spring issue of Shenandoah, ' The Washington and Lee Uni- -. versity Review is now avail- work by Lousie Herreshoff, .

The book, which came out at the end of January, is a collection of 12 stories which won the Midlist Press First Series Award for Short Fiction. Oliver, a tall figure wearing a purple sweaterand a broad smile for the occasion, appeared in Northen Auditorium Tuesday afiemoon and read “Companion,” the last story in the book, to a crowd of about 30 local teachers, stu- dents and fans. “The reading was pleasant,” he said afterwards. “l was nervous beforehand, though.” Oliver was among friends, however. He is director of the Virginia Military Institute Writing Center, and teaches at VMI and W&L. His stories have been published in literary maga- zines and earned him prizes for writing. He has published several story collections already, and copies of Oliver’s last few volumes were clutched in the hands of the mesmerized listeners during his reading. Oliver admitted that he, too, sometimes has difficulty with the creative process. He said that “Companion,” a low-key love story, was difficult for him to write. He said he had been trying to make the story into some- thing it wasn’t, but once he accepted the story for what it was, he was able to create it to his satisfaction. Overall, he is content with his teaching and writing. This latest book is already a hit; members of the audi- ence who had read the stories discussed their favorites and praised his work. After Oliver finished his reading, he was met by a line of people seeking autographs and words with the author. He smiled, chatted, and signed copy after copy of his book. “Women and Children First is also an ironic title,” he said, pointing out one of the more appealing aspects of the book. “Most of the characters don’t get any help from men. They’re strong on their own.” ESPN covers W&L Riding Team event B-HFILB f the six members of the W&L riding team who quali- fied to compete in last weekend’s Regional Finals in Raleigh, NC, five members placed high enough to qualify for the Zone Finals which will be hosted by W&L and covered on ESPN on April 20.

Ska Against Racism tour brings genre back to its roots BYHOLLISTERHOVEY ——:~— PHOroE3nloR ome claim that ska made multi-racial bands legiti mate to the public. This month, the genre is coming together to fight for one of its original messages — abolishing racism. The Ska Against Racism tour is crossing the country raising money for local chari- ties in each city to abolish prejudice. “Less than Jake,” “The Toasters,” “Mustard Plug,” “The Blue Meanies,” “Five Iron Frenzy,” “Kemuri,” Mike “Bruce Lee” Park and “MU330” are iheadlining the one-and-a-half month ltour that hits The Boathouse in Nor- folk, VA on April 17, Godwin Hall in A Harrisonburg,VA on April 18 and the 9:30 Club in D.C. on April 21. Ska music has a 40-year history intertwined with politics and politi- cal activism. “Ska music originated in Jamaica as they were gaining their independence from Britain in 1962,” Rob “Bucket” Hingley, head of Moon Ska Records and lead singer of “The Toasters” said in a recent interivew. A few years later, eco- ’ noniic depressionhit Jamiaca, /and the music became slower and more ' depressing, evolutionizing into rock steady and reggae. Even though original ska is upbeat and happy, it always was a form of pro- test music. “A lot of the original mes- sages of ska music are being lost,” Hingley said. “First, right from the get- go it's rebel music coming from the trench tainted ghetto In the ’70s, for example, it was particularly politically charged because it was like a reaction against Margaret Thatcher and right wing politics in England. It was a shout out against unemployment. A shout out against racism. A shout out against sexism.” Original Jamaican ska bands like the “Specials” were characterized by a “two- tone” theme representing the black and white races. There were both black and white members in many of the original bands, at a time when this was quite rare. A checker board is still A l t h o u g h original ska dynamite issue at that point.” In the 1950s, before ska’s transfor- mation into reggae, former Island Records president and founder Chris Blackwell brough ska legend Laurel Aitken to England. The genre became fairly popular, but didn't make its way across the Atlantic for over a decade. In the late ’70s Hing1ey’s work at a comic company sent him to the United States. He wanted to feed his love for ska mu- sic, so he formed a band in ’81 that he called “Not Bob Marley.” This small band that played music previously un- heard by Americans renamed itself “The Toasters.” Within two years, it had an album under the Moon Ska label which Hingley started. one of the most recog- I Since then, “The nizable symbolsofska 1 S 1.1 p b e a t Toasters”has re- music, but much of the a n d h a P P Y I married very success- meanlng was lost . ful and Moon Ska ls when ska came to 1 t a 1 W a Y S one ofthe most influ- America fiom England. wa s a f o rm ential ska labels in the “For me itwasapretty O f P ro t e S t industry with new- politicallychargedmu- . ska bands like mu S 1 C . sic in the ’70s, but it has’t translated too well to music in the ’90s because people 'dori‘t’havé too much to worry about if you think about it,” Hingley said. “I think racism is a big issue over here that no one wants to talk about. 1 think that’s one of the reasons they didn’t promote “two-tone” over here be- cause politically it was too much of a “Dance Hall Crash- ers,” “Let's Go Bowl- ing,” “The Slackers,” “The Bluebeats” I and “Hepcat.” While most of these bands stay close to actual ska standards, the bands that have infused punk with ska have become the most popular. Punk- ska bands like “The Mighty Mighty Bosstones,” “Less than Jake” and “Goldfinger” started out as purely punk bands, but added horn sections as the ska trend spread. The popular band “No Doubt” can be considered a pop-punk—ska band, but the ska influence is actually smaller than the media has made it out to be. “A lot of people just see some punk band playing an upbeat guitar on MTV and think that’s [ska],” Hingley said. He hopes that the transient fame surrounding these pop-ska bands will help bring authentic ska music to the forefront. “Hopefully we’ll just be in a little bit ofa better position,” Hingley said, “because well make some inroads in terms of publicity and get some grounding for real ska music off the backs of the wannabies.” Hingley believes that the original genre will withstand the test oftime as long as passion remains. “There are people who really believe in the music for what it is because it’s a way oflife for them. Then there’s people who are only in it for the money. Those are the types who will desert the sinking ship when it’s not fashionable, but 1 don’t really care about them,” he said. “I’1l still be playing this musiciwhen ’tliey’re' ' i doing something else.” * * * The interview with Hingley took place this fall over the phone at WL UR for the Skatology radio show hosted by Lara Ellison, Jessica Helm and H ollister H ovey.

Roanoke had just tied the game with 10 seconds left in regulation and had also drawn a penalty, giving the Ma- roons an extra man advantage and a great deal of momentum heading into the extra period. But just when things looked dark- est for the Generals, an All-American came to the rescue. Senior Ed Dougherty scored a short-handed goal ten seconds into OT to give the Generals a thrilling 6-5 overtime vic- tory in one of the most dramatic la- crosse games in Generals history. Since the Generals had possession and were a man down at the end of regulation, there was no face-off at the beginning of OT and instead the extra session began with the ball in the stick of Dougherty. The all-American blew by the entire Roanoke defense, ripped the game-winner past Maroons goalie Evan Kaplow, and was immediately mobbed by his teammates in a post- game celebration. “I wanted to find an open man and pass it to him, but we were a man down so nobody was open and I really didn’t know what to do” said Dougherty as he described his heroic game winning goal. “All of the sudden I saw an open- ing and Ijust ran; 1 saw an opening in the goal. I just shot it and it went in and then I just started going crazy.” The game was tied 3-3 at the end of the first half as the Generals got first half goals from sophomore Colin Dougherty, and freshman Matt Dugan, and senior Tom Fallace. Both teams went scoreless during a defensive third quarter as the game entered the fourth quarter still deadlocked at three. The Generals soon took command, however, as freshman attackman Ben Lucas scored back-to-back goals to give the Generals a 5-3 lead with 5:59 to play. But just as the Generals were be- ginning to smell the sweet scent of an upset-victory, the Maroons came back to tie the and send the game to OT with two goals in the final 2:40. Momentum was obviously was with the Maroons heading into the overtime but someone forgot to tell that to the Generals. “We had it in hand and then here we are all of the sudden in overtime down a man,” said Dougherty. “We were pretty nervous. I’m sure nobody expected us to come out and score with a man down like that.” “We were confident going into OT,” added Dugan, the leading scorer for the Generals who had 1 goal on Saturday. “It wasn’t the prettiest goal, but it went in and that’s all that mat- ters.” It was a huge victory for the Gener- als and for their seniors especially, who had not beaten Roanoke during their first three years at W&L. “We [the seniors] had never beaten them before,” commented Dougherty. “It was one of goals this year for both the seniors and for the entire team.” Now the question for the Generals is whether or not they will face the al- ways-feared let down afier a big win. The Generals have been recently plagued by late-season losses which have knocked them out of the NCAA tournament. “We’re really excited right now but we have to be really cautious,” said Dougherty. “We’ve been this high before and we’ve gotten knocked right back down.” “We can’t overlook the weaker teams,” added Dugan. “We have to go out and play hard everyday.” Senior goalie Scott Jackson had another huge game for the General as he tied his career-high with 17 saves. The victory improves the seventh ranked Generals to 6-1 on the season and W&L should climb a few slots in the new poll. The Generals also knocked off 15th-ranked Connecticut College 12-8 earlier in the week. Baseball extends winning streak to 4 Washington & Lee's baseball team improved its record to 8-6 and 6-2 in the ODAC by sweeping Emory & Henry (2-10, 0-2 ODAC) yester- day afternoon at Smith Field. In the first game, the Generals used a three-run second inning in which the Wasps commited three errors to grab a 4-1 lead. Sopho- more right fielder Christian Batcheller slammed his fifth home run of the year in the fourth inning to give the Generals a 5-1 lead. Sophomore sec- ond baseman Andy Thompson hit a two-run triple in the fifth inning to finish off the scoring at 7-1. Junior pitcher Bob Weston gave up seven hits and one run, while striking out seven and walking none in seven innings to run his record to 4-1.

They dropped a strong Mary Washing- ton team Saturday 13-7 after a dis- appointing loss to Colby College Thursday. “The loss to Colby was a good wake-up call for us,” senior Whitney Parker said. “We realized that we needed to get over it and move on. [Mary Washington] was a good win for us.” In addition to getting the Gener- als back on a winning track, Saturday’s win also marked coach Jan Hathorn’s 100th victory at W&L. Hathom is currently in her tenth season as coach of the Gen- erals. The milestone was an- nounced after the game. The Generals (8-1, 5-0 ODAC) led 7-3 at halftime and scored the first two goals of the second half to open a six-goal lead. Mary Wash- ington scored three straight goals to cut their deficit to 9-6 with 21 :56 EXECUTIVE EDITOR to play. W&L put the game out of reach by scoring four goals in just over four minutes. “I think we really stepped it up on Saturday,” said junior Lauren Francis. “We really put it all together.” Seniors Whitney Parker and Lorraine Taurassi each scored hat- tricks for the Generals. Freshman Liz Borges, Senior Betsy Howe and Se- nior Mary Jo Mahoney each added two goals. Junior Cory Metee also scored for W&L. Borges, Parker, Taurassi and Senior Emily Gipson also added an assist each. Ginny Jemigan was the story for the Generals once again, kepping the Generals in the game by saving 75 per- cent of Mary Washington’s shots. “There’s always a couple of players who step-up every year,” Parker said. “She’s one of the ones this year. Last year was very hard for her, playing be- hind (All-American) Brooke Glenn. She’s really amazed me this year.” Despite four goals from Taurassi, the Generals dropped their first game of the year Thursday to Colby 12-8. The game was back-and-forth as the clock neared the 15 minute mark on the first half, but the next 15 min- utes belonged to Colby. Seven goals later, Colby took a 8-3 lead into halfiime. Parker added two goals for the Generals, while Borges and Mahoney each scored once. The win over Mary Washington put the Generals back on the winning track before their ODAC showdown when Roanoke College comes to Lex- ington Thursday at 4:00 p.m. Roanoke (4-3, 3-1 ODAC) in on a two-game losing streak, dropping games to Middlebury and Hartwick. Roanoke has also lost to Randolph- Macon and only defeated Mary Washington by two goals. The Gen- erals beat both RMC and MWC. ‘‘We’re really psyched,” Parker said. “In my four years, we’ve only beaten them once, and they’re our biggest rivals: We all know there is a lot on the line.” J O C k 3 l1 0 I18 —fr0m sramepom Women’s Track Washington and Lee set two school records and won both events at the Battleground Relays.
