ON THE COVER: A montage of Washington and Lee insignia—a needlepoint rendering of the University crest and a needling bumper sticker—the kind of things one would expect to find in, say, a dormitory room. These particular decorations, however, showed up among the carrels of Lewis Hall, where W&L law students spend much of their time. Photographer Sally Mann made the picture while documenting activity in the new building. The picture essay begins on the opposite page. fed viii LEWIS HALL PORTFOLIO Lively Activity in the New Law Building Confirms Its Place Among the Finest Lewis Hall has attracted increasing attention ever since its dedication less than a year ago—attention from the Judiciary and bar, from legal educators, and, not least, from current and potential law students. Even before the School of Law moved into the building in 1976, interest in the new facility, which is generally considered to be among the finest in the country, prompted a dramatic rise in numbers of applications, even beyond the general nationwide increase. (W&L now receives more than 10 applications for each place From continuing professional education such as the client counseling conference... LEWIS HALL PORTFOLIO ... to realistic training for future professionals provided by moot court competitions. in each fall’s entering class, and quality has increased no less dramatically.) Literally from the first day, when the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held formal hearings in the Moot Court Room in conjunction with dedication activities, Lewis Hall has been much sought-after as a place to conduct conferences, symposia, competitions and the like. In terms of physical facilities, the consensus among law educators who have been around is that W&L and Stanford, in that order, possess the best. (The Lewis Hall architects, Marcellus Wright, Cox & Ladd of Richmond, have recently been engaged to develop a law- school building program for Northwestern University, for instance, on the strength of their achievement here.) The level of activity in Lewis Hall in a period of only several weeks in mid- winter perhaps best indicates the professional interest in the building among judges, lawyers and lawyers-to- be. There were three separate moot court competitions, a major interdisciplinary conference on the topic of client counseling, and a regional meeting of the American Bar Association’s law student division. Despite the growth of technological aids to learning, such as audio-visual equipment allowing the student to watch himself in practice and computer-based information retrieval systems for research, the most-used tool in the law library is still the book. LEWIS HALL PORTFOLIO Learning takes place all over Lewis Hall: in the library, classroom and study room... More than 60 professionals in the field of law, medicine and counseling attended the client counseling conference, which was coordinated by Lawrence D. Gaughan, W&L law professor. All four Virginia law schools had a hand in planning for the conference, as did the Virginia Bar Association, the Virginia State Bar, the counselor education program at James Madison, the family development department at Virginia Tech and the Judge Advocate General’s School in Charlottesville. The authors of two recent books on client counseling for lawyers, together with three other scholars in the fields of psychology, psychiatry and law, made up the guest faculty. The rest of the faculty for the conference, designed to provide continu- ing education for professionals, consisted of law professors, counselors, educational consultants and attorneys. The regional Jessup International 4 ... but home away from home for most 1s the carrel. Moot Court Competition was held in Lewis Hall in early March. The W&L team—John E. Coffey, William D. Broadhurst, Jessine A. Monaghan, Robert B. Hill and Ellen Arthur—came in second, losing to Catholic University by one point. Monaghan won second place for best oral arguments. Ten schools besides W&L—from Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and Washington, D.C.—participated. That same weekend, 10 schools competed in Lewis Hall in the ABA- sponsored client counseling competitions, ultimately won by the Or LEWIS HALL PORTFOLIO Lewis Hall enhances the W&L tradi- tions of small-group meetings, close student-faculty relationships and the latest learning tools, combined with something Tucker Hall had little of—room to relax and read the sports page... University of Kentucky. The University of Louisville came in second place. The W&L team of Channing J. Martin and Stanley G. Brading was knocked out of the competition during the early rounds. The fourth circuit of the law student division of the ABA also held its regional conference here in March, complete with moot court competition, workshops, and a lecture by Clark Mollenhoff, professor of journalism at W&L and Pulitzer Prize-winning former Washington Bureau chief of the Des Moines Register and Tribune. He spoke about the case of former U.S. Attorney David Marston in a talk on “The Political Pitfalls of Philadelphia 6 --.

W&L law professor James Phemister and his wife, Carol, led a seminar and workshop on the Equal Rights Amendment during one of the afternoon sessions of the conference. ODK-FOUNDERS’ DAY 29 Students and Four Leaders Are Honored During Convocation Seventeen undergraduates, five law students, three prominent alumni, and the father of a recent W&L graduate were “tapped” into membership in Omicron Delta Kappa in January. The honorary initiates were Walter E. Michaels, 51, head coach of the New York Jets; Houston H. Harte, also ’51, chairman of the board of Harte-Hanks Communications Inc. of San Antonio; Stuard E. Wurzburger, ’28, a retired New York City labor consultant who now resides in Lexington, and W. Martin Kempe of Orange, Va., father of Martin A. Kempe, ’75, and chairman of the W&L Past Parents’ Fund. The ODK “tapping” ceremony took place on Lee’s Birthday, Jan. 19, in conjunction with Founders’ Day exercises. Dr. William A. Jenks, William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of History, was the principal speaker; his topic was “Other Founders.” Dr. Jenks said that “with some admitted strain upon logic,” parallels could be found in the careers of V. I. Lenin and Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud, the founders of the Soviet Union and Saudi Arabia. “Most Westerners in 1918 discounted Lenin as a shooting star, soon to disappear,” he said, “and few knew anything of Ibn Saud. In retrospect, they too were founders—founders of states widely dissimiliar today, save in their significance to us.” “If we fail to get along with the first, the world may come to a rather abrupt end,” Dr. Jenks said. “If we mismanage our ties with the Arab Mideast, who supply us with 25 percent of our petroleum imports, who tend to op for moderation in oil negotiations, we could face panic at home and discomfiture abroad.” Concluding his scholarly talk, Dr. Jenks said: “We commemorate today a man who could not have enjoyed that power which sends men to their deaths in battle. His last years might have been exercises in futility and bitterness, as I think Lenin’s and Ibn Saud’s were. Rather, he was able to refound a school which had become a shadow. And I like 8 Dr. Jenks addresses ODK-Founders’ Day convocation; in background are Roy L. Steinheimer, dean of the School of Law, and Edwin Craun, assistant dean of The College. to think that all who come to Washington and Lee are better persons thanks to his stay here. As citizens, taxpayers, possibly as Congressmen, military men or diplomats, you will have to live with entities as complex as the Soviet Union and Saudi Arabia. Whatever your station in life, you can learn from President Lee’s courage, patience, and sense of justice: “Courage to recognize that our integrity as a community requires our treasure, and if all goes badly, our blood; “Patience to evaluate the proposals which come from other communities, proud of their accomplishments, yet aware of the catastrophe which a resort to naked power can bring; “A sense of justice that admits that all is not pretty in the American past, and yet remembers that we have shared our material goods with, and often have demonstrated an affection for, the world’s distressed. “A fearsome challenge? Yes. “One that my generation met with signal success? You know better. “The sort of thing old men preach to the young? Indubitably. “But President Lee obviously thought that his generation’s failure did not preclude the next generation’s attainments. If you spent 35 years of your life at his college, as I have, you have to believe that there is a reasonable chance that the dedicated few will offset the follies of the many.” Omicron Delta Kappa is the national honor society for campus leaders. It was founded at W&L in 1914. Currently, there are chapters at about 130 other colleges and universities throughout the nation. Michaels went directly into professional football after his graduation from W&L, playing successively with the Green Bay Packers and the Cleveland Browns. He then spent 10 seasons with the Jets as defensive coordinator, moved to the Philadelphia Eagles in 1972, and rejoined the Jets in 1976 as head coach. He was inducted as a member of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame last April. Harte has been an extremely generous supporter of both the annual and capital fund-raising programs at Washington and Lee. The communications firm of which he is chairman owns 26 daily newspapers and 54 non-daily publications in 33 markets. It also owns three television stations and will acquire, pending F.C.C. approval, Southern Broadcasting Co., whose holdings include radio stations in Virginia. Harte is a regent of East Texas State University and a former member of the Air Force Academy board of visitors. Wurzburger is a former member of the W&L Alumni Association Board of Directors. He has been Class Agent for 1928 for several years, and that class will set a record for participation at its 50th reunion this spring. He is a member of the Lee Associates. Kempe, former vice president of The Rochester Foundation, currently owns and manages a farm in Orange in central Virginia. Though he is a graduate of Dartmouth, he was chairman of the Parents’ Council while his son was a student and is now head of a new parents-of-alumni program. Third-year law students “tapped” were Mary Kathryn DePoy of Rutland, Vt., editor-in-chief of the Washington and Lee Law Review; Edward T. Duncan of Washington Grove, Md., a Law Review editor who ranks at the top of his class academically; David P. Falck of Manchester, Conn., head of the law school’s Burks Scholars, and Jon P. Leckerling of Huntington, N.Y., managing editor of the Law Review. Undergraduate seniors “tapped” were Jerry M. Baird of Fort Worth, assistant head dormitory counselor; Mark A. Bradley of Roanoke, named a Rhodes Scholar this winter; Charles V. Brown III of Stony Brook, N.Y., All-American goalie on the lacrosse team; Mark H. Derbyshire, co-captain of the soccer team and a midfielder on the lacrosse team; IT. Mark Duncan of Roanoke, co- captain of the football team and president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes; Also, Charles E. Hinkle of Temple, Tex., president and director of the W&L Jazz Ensemble; Howard F. Knipp III of Gibson Island, Md., vice president of the Interfraternity Council and a varsity wrestler; James S. McNider III of Lynchburg, senior class vice president, chairman of the Student Control Committee and co-chairman of the 1980 Walter E. Michaels, ’51 Houston H. Harte, ’51 Mock Republican Convention; Gerald L. Maatman Jr. of Inverness, Ill., All- American golfer; Stephen E. Mattesky of Carlisle, Pa., president of the IFC; Richard W. Stein of Jacksonville, president of the University Federation, and John S. Strong of North Wales, Pa., assistant head dorm counselor and student representative on the faculty Courses and Degrees Committee. Juniors elected into O.D.K. membership were George Ballantyne of Martin Kempe Stuard E. Wurzburger, ’28 Houston, a three-year letterman on the football team; Douglas A. Byrd of Baton Rouge, a class representative on the University Council; Malcolm G. Coleman II of New Orleans, one of 53 Harry S Truman Scholars in the nation and entertainment editor of the Ring- tum Phi; William M. Webster IV of Greenville, S.C., co-chairman of “Contact ’78”; and Peter M. Williams of Cincinnati, class president and vice chair- man of the Student Control Committee. 9 FANCY DRESS 1977 Fabulous Affair Lives Up to the Glories of the Pharaohs W&L students had their 71st Fancy Dress Ball the last weekend of February—and proved that the party is still what the New York Times once called “the outstanding collegiate social event of the South.” The music was provided by Duke Ellington’s band. (Fancy Dress’s impressarios, sophomore Art Dunnam and senior Jim Foreman, told the Reng-tum Phi that the word they received was that the crowd enjoyed the old Ellington standard songs more than the more modern music.) Evans Hall and the adjoining Student Center were exquisitely and elaborately decorated in line with this year’s theme, “The Glories of Egypt.” (The Fancy Dress Committee didn’t overlook anything to make it a never-to-be-forgotten evening. Couples even received a pair of souvenir coins specially made for the affair.) There were about 3,000 people at the ball—mostly in tuxes and gowns, but a noticeable number in full evening dress. Jerry Darrell, the popular manager of W&L’s food 10 services, staged a candlelight dinner just before Fancy Dress in the University dining hall and a hangover brunch the next day. Fancy Dress began the day before the Ball, with fraternity and other small-group parties and a Student Activities Board concert with the Four Tops that night. Partying continued through the weekend, highlighted, as usual, by the schoolwide Saturday afternoon get-together at Zollman’s Pavillion on the Buffalo Creek just outside town. (One of Fancy Dress Weekend’s fans must be Mother Nature. The bitter cold broke just long enough for the party at the river, with the temperature way up in the 50s. The same thing happened last year, too.) A Washington Post reporter who had been at Fancy Dress last year came back again this year (his brother is a W&L sophomore) and wrote a story headlined “THE PARTY: College-Wide Bash Makes Rousing Comeback,” mostly about the Buffalo Creek party, and although he did point out that working hard during the Fancy Dress was fancier and dressier this year than ever. They came in costumes ranging from Fred Astaire white tie to Lawrence of Arabia desert duds (facing page). The exotic decorations included a genuine belly dancer who was the favorite decoration of everyone who could get into the Cockpit to see her; clearly she was the hit of the evening in the eyes of Dr. William J. Watt, Dean of The College (immediately above). A concert by the Four Tops, who have become practically a fixture at W&L big weekends, inaugurated Fancy Dress Weekend (top right). Ball-goers were wall-to-wall the next evening (lower right). week and partying hard on the weekends “has become a tradition, almost a credo, at Washington and Lee,” some people weren’t amused at the publicity over some of the crazier antics at the creekside party. (The Ring-tum Phi dismissed the Post article as “typically slanderous,” and Charley McDowell, who heads up the Richmond Times- Dispatch’s Washington, D.C., coverage and who insists that no Fancy Dress can possibly top the 1947 ball he vividly remembers, genially teased the Post reporter, in an article reprinted in this magazine, for only now discovering “that a lot of ‘dancing, drinking and carousing’ goes on during a college dance weekend.”) But Fancy Dress is best told in pictures. Four W&L photographers covered it this year—Sally Mann, head photographer; David Abrams, ’78, and Nancy Spencer at the Ball, and Douglass W. Dewing, ’77, assistant publications director for the University, at the river party Saturday. These are some of their photographs. 11 Alumni and other older types will be glad to see proof (top left) that W&L undergraduates still actually can dance—and do. They were perhaps inspired by the mellow sounds of Duke Ellington’s orchestra (immediately above). The decorations were intricate and extensive; the chairman of the Student Activities Board, Bill Tucker, reports they used 2% acres of paper and 1,250 square feet of gold foil, a third of a mile of wire to light 749 bulbs, two gallons of glue, four pounds of nails and two pounds of glitter; they bought four bales of hay for the camel they rented (we told you it was authentic right down to the ultimate details!) and 54 kegs of beer for the humans. The next day, every- body took it easy at the traditional afternoon- after party on the banks of the Buffalo Creek outside Lexington (left). By Charles McDowell, ’48 FANCY DRESS POSTSCRIPT Washington’s Presence in Lexington: Look and You Shall Find Peale portrait Old George This column by CharlesR. McDowell Jr., a 1948 graduate of Washmgton and Lee, appeared im the Richmond ‘Times- Dispatch on March 2, 1978, and is re- printed with permission. A reporter for the Washington Post recently attended “Fancy Dress” week- end at Washington and Lee University in Lexington and wrote a story in which he disclosed that a lot of “dancing, drinking and carousing” goes on during a college dance weekend. The story was less banal-than that really. It was lively in some of its specific observations and interesting in its view of generational fluctuations in college partying over the years. Anyhow, I am not in a mood to challenge the author’s facts or theme. But I do have a quibble. A reporter from a grand Washington paper, ven- turing deep into the Valley of Virginia on a sociological mission probably would expect at least a quibble from somebody like me—a resident for my first 22 years of the town he visited and an alumnus of the college he wrote about. The following paragraph from the story is the subject of my quibble: ‘Tt’s a sheltered community, always has been,’’ said one old grad. Politically con- servatwe, Lexmgton has pictures of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson promimently displayed around town. (‘How come there aren't any pictures of Washington?’’ one date wondered. “I don’t know. There just aren’t,’’ her escort answered.) I have no doubt that those quotes are legitimate. But because no effort is made to give perspective to the quotes, I would say the paragraph suggests that Lexington is a silly old holdout for the glory of Southern rebellion, a town so Stuart portrait backward and conservative that it doesn’t properly appreciate the father of the federal republic. It is true that Robert E. Lee is well- represented around town in paintings and sculpture and in some marvelous prints by a pioneer photographer, Michael Miley. You see, Lee went to Lexington after the Civil War to be president of the college. He lived in Lexington, died in Lexington and is buried in Lexington. Some considerable continuing interest in him strikes me as normal and not necessarily sociologic- ally significant. As for Stonewall Jackson, he was a roomer for a time on the college cam- pus (in a house I later lived in without swearing allegiance to the Confeder- acy), and he was a teacher at the neigh- boring Virginia Military Institute. He, too, is buried in Lexington. I am not sure that George Washing- ton ever came any closer to Lexington than Natural Bridge, 14 miles away, and, to be frank, I am not convinced it was he who carved his initials in the bridge. Washington did give $50,000 worth of canal stock to the college in 1796, the largest endowment laid ona college up until then. It was appreciated and still is, and so is Washington the man. The young lady who didn’t see any pictures of Washington and her escort who said there aren’t any betray limited range and curiosity. Perhaps the most famous portrait of Washington, Charles Willson Peale’s of 1772, hangs prominently in Lee Chapel, of all places. It really isn’t a parochial picture. It was lent to the National Portrait Gal- lery (right here in Washington) a couple of years ago to be the central piece in the bicentennial exhibition. In Admissions Office In President’s Office A Gilbert Stuart portrait of Wash- ington hangs in the Washington and Lee library. The young man in the newspaper story ought to have seen it, although the girl and the reporter probably should be forgiven. There are dozens of other Washing- ton pictures in Lexington, and there are several famous sculptures. I sup- pose sculptures count as symbols of re- spect. Anyway, “Old George,” a massive wood carving, stands atop the main building of the college. VMI has a Houdoun statue of Wash- ington. The president of Washington and Lee has a bust of Washington in his office, and there is another in the admissions office. A booklet readily available in town gives the following standings on im- portant sculptures in Lexington: Washington, 6, Lee, 5, Jackson, 4. But enough of fine art, I want to disagree with the notion that Lexington is sheltered. It has two colleges, and the comings and goings of their students and faculties create a continuing stir. ‘The town receives television and news- papers, and fairly regularly is host to lecturers, wandering politicians and big-city reporters. As for the idea that. Lexington is conservative politically, that has to be a relative judgement. I would say it is moderate and enlightened, but I am prejudiced. Many of the conservatives in the surrounding county of Rock- bridge would say Lexington is radical- liberal. If anything 1s clear to me after living in both Lexington and Washington, it is that Lexington has the broader and less self-conscious view of the world, in- cluding the place in it of pictures of Washington, Lee and Jackson. 13 GAZETTE Farrar Moves to New Alumni/Admissions Post Ce James D. Farrar, W&L’s director of admissions for the past 16 years, resigned that position in March to assume new duties as the University’s coordinator of alumni for student recruitment. The University began a search for a new admissions director immediately, and hopes to name a successor to Farrar in that position by the end of the current academic year. Dr. Lewis G. John, dean of students, will continue to act as admissions director in the interim. Dr. John’s office has overall responsibility for both student affairs and admissions. In his new position, Farrar will greatly expand the use of alumni—both as individuals and through organized alumni chapters—in seeking to attract qualified students to attend W&L. He will work closely with both Director of Development Farris P. Hotchkiss and Alumni Secretary William C. Washburn in drawing on “the enthusiasm and energy of Washington and Lee’s far-flung alumni,” Farrar said. “For many years, we have seen effective use made of alumni by other colleges and universities. While W&L has been able to make only limited efforts along these lines so far, our experience clearly indicates that we have a large untapped source of help in our alumni, if we can coordinate and direct their efforts properly.” Farrar said he views his new duties as “a challenging change. I’ll be working in an area that requires the kind of professional guidance and coordination to which I can bring my experience in admissions and my knowledge of Washington and Lee’s constituencies.” Noting his length of service in the admissions directorship, Farrar said his resignation stemmed from his conclusion that “the job is one that no person should hold indefinitely, both because of the pressures it entails and the need for new perspectives in student recruitment and selection.” President Huntley praised Farrar’s “dedicated and skillful service” throughout the 16 years he was admissions director. “Jim Farrar is one of Washington and Lee’s great strengths and resources. For 26 years he has performed invaluable service to the 14 James D. Farrar University, and I am grateful to know that he will continue to do so in the years to come.” He said Farrar is better qualified to undertake the new alumni/admissions responsibilities than anyone else. A 1949 W&L graduate, Farrar joined the staff in 1952 as assistant admissions director. When the late Dean Frank J. Gilliam retired as admissions director in 1962, Farrar succeeded him in that position and was also made associate dean of students. UCLA law teacher named head of Lewis Law Center A leading international law authority, Frederic L. Kirgis Jr., has been named the first director of W&L’s Frances Lewis Law Center. Kirgis is currently professor of law at the University of California at Los Angeles, where he has taught since 1973. He was visiting professor of law at W&L last autumn. He will assume his new duties at Washington and Lee Aug. 1, according to Roy L. Steinheimer Jr., dean of the W&L School of Law, who announced Kirgis’ appointment. The Frances Lewis Law Center was established through a $2-million endowment in 1972 from Frances and Sydney Lewis of Richmond. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis gave $9 million in all to Washington and Lee’s law program, $7 million of which supported construction of the University’s new law building, named for them. Kirgis received his undergraduate education at Yale University and his law degree from Berkeley. He was an associate in the Washington, D.C., law firm of Covington & Burling, specializing in international claims, prior to entering teaching. He was a member of the law faculty at the University of Colorado from 1967 until he joined the UCLA law faculty seven years later, and spent a year’s leave of absence in research study at the London School of Economics. He is the author of International Organizations in Their Legal Setting: Documents, Comments and Questions, and is currently working on a book on international consultation, scheduled for publication next year. The Frances Lewis Law Center is designed to function in support of W&L’s law faculty and students both inside and outside the formal law-school curriculum. W&L faculty may be able to take sabbaticals to work full-time on law- center research projects; there may be research programs for students and summer research opportunities for faculty members. Visiting scholars may be brought to the law center in residence for a semester or academic year or for the summer; there may be visiting attorneys’ and visiting judges’ programs as well. Special-topic seminars and conferences will also be conducted under the sponsorship of the law center. Exhibitions Recent exhibitions of artworks by W&L people: —Black-and-white photos by W&L’s prize-winning head photographer, Sally Mann, were on display this winter both in duPont Gallery on campus and in New York City’s Pfeifer Gallery. Among the prints on display in both exhibitions were a number of her rare platinum prints, several traditional silver prints of landscapes and other familiar Rockbridge scenes, and examples from a new series of abstract photos on which she is currently working. —A photo-essay on the development of French cathedrals in the middle ages was exhibited in duPont Gallery for part of March, and the deputy cultural counselor to the French Embassy, Roland Husson, visited W&L for the opening. —Photos by Frank A. Parsons, assistant to President Huntley, and paintings by Mrs. Ralph Daves of Lexington, mother-in-law of S L Kopald, a member of the Board of Trustees, were on display in the W&L Bookstore. —Photographs by David Abrams, a senior journalism major who is a student assistant in the W&L News Office, were on display in a one-man show in January at the Roanoke Fine Arts Center. New poetry editor named by Shenandoah Richard Howard, Pulitzer Prize- winning poet and former poetry editor of American Review, has been named the new poetry editor of Washington and Lee’s quarterly literary review Shenandoah. Howard, who is also president of the American chapter of P.E.N., the international association of literary writers, succeeds Eleanor Ross Taylor as poetry chief of W&L’s award-winning magazine. Howard, a frequent visitor to campus, was here most recently in March for a reading from his own works in a program sponsored jointly by Shenandoah and the Glasgow Endowment for the creative arts. Other visitors Other visitors to campus this winter have included: —Robert P. Clark, executive editor of the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal and Times, for two days of meetings with W&L journalism students, and to deliver a public talk on the topic “Our Beleaguered Press: Ethics on Trial,” sponsored by the Society and The Professions ethics program; —Robert W. Greene, a senior editor of Newsday (Long Island) and director of the so-called “Arizona Project,” a team of 20 journalists who followed up the investigation of crime in that state which cost fellow reporter Don Bolles his life, for a two-day symposium involving W&L students and professional reporters, and for a public talk, “Exploring the Impossible—A Search for Journalism Ethics,” also sponsored by the Society and The Professions program; —John F. Melby, a career American foreign service officer with extensive experience in the Far East, including the chairmanship of joint State-Defense Department missions in the Phillipines and Southeast Asia, for a lecture, “The Chinese Civil War Revisited,” sponsored by W&L’s East Asian Studies Program; —Gerald C. Loucks, vice president of Sunburst Exploration Inc. of Denver, on the topic of searching for oil in geologic formations similar to those in the Rockbridge area, sponsored by the geology department; —Pianist Richard Collins for a concert of 20th-century works by Berg, Schoenberg, Busoni and Ives, sponsored by the Concert Guild; and —Charles H. Breecher, a former officer with the State Department, the Agency for International Development (AID) and NATO, for a talk on “The Constitutionality of the Panama Canal Treaties.” Phi Beta Kappa taps 25 W&L’s chapter of Phi Beta Kappa has elected 14 undergraduate seniors, 10 juniors and one 1977 graduate to membership. They were initiated into the academic honor society at Phi Beta Sc aa = Construction on the new $9.26-million li brary—with a capacity of 500,000 volumes and individual study Kappa Day ceremonies in March. David D. Bien, a 1951 W&L graduate who is now chairman of the history department at the University of Michigan, was the speaker at the convocation. Phi Beta Kappa initiates from the senior class were David T. Adams of Panama City, U.S. Canal Zone; Walter P. Benda of Austinville, Va.; Hall B. Clark of San Antonio; William J. Edwards of King George, Va.; Bill R. Fenstemaker of Warren, N.J.; Robert F. Hedelt Jr. of Warsaw, Va.; David J. McLean of Rutherford, N.J.; Gerald L. Maatman of Inverness, Ill.; Glenn A. Miller of Rockville, Md.; Mark L. Mitchell of Blacksburg, Va.; Robert W. Moorhead of Denver; Robert N. Mucciola of Windber, Pa.; Keith A. Teel of Dublin, Ga., and James M. Underhill of Babylon, N.Y. Elected from the junior class were Robert E. Atkinson Jr. of Kingstree, S.C.; Douglas A. Byrd of Baton Rouge; Malcolm G. Coleman II of New Orleans; Michael F. Follo of Gadsden, Ala.: Harry F. Hoke III of Richmond; Edward U. Kissel of Birmingham; John R. Lewis Jr. of Natural Bridge; Larry P. McNulty of Nicktown, Pa.; David Randolph Scott of Grosse Point, Mich., and James R. Shoemaker of Frederick, Md. Robert A. Ford, a 1977 graduate, was also elected to membership in the W&L Phi Beta Kappa chapter. Bien, who earned his Ph.D. at Harvard, spoke on the topic “Time’s Perspective and the Problem of Understanding: The French Revolution’s Enemies.” areas for 800 students—remains ahead of schedule. Occupancy of the new building is scheduled for the Christmas holidays in December. Then, McCormick will be remodeled for the Commerce School and Newcomb Hall renovated for The College. 15 NORM LORD W&L’s High Priest of Total Fitness “I’ve never seen Norm Lord at rest,” says Jim Farrar, who’s been pretty energetic himself in admissions work at W&L for 26 years. “The man isa horse. He never stops.” Lord has been going strong ever since he joined the faculty at W&L in 1946. Whatever he does—teaching, coaching, running or officiating—“he always does it 101 percent.” Lord’s_ inexhaustible en- thusiasm for sports, his posi- tive attitude, and his belief in what he calls the “euphoria of fitness,” have made him a paragon at W&L. “You have to take a Norm Lord course. He’s a legend,” said Michael Gallagher, ’79, editor of the Ring-tum Phi. These days Coach Lord is deeply involved in teaching aerobics, which used to be called running. Students from earlier years probably recall his hearty welcome at fresh- man camp. “He’d come out to Natural Bridge with all kinds of equipment and set up an elab- orate physical competition in- volving everything from bad- minton to football called the ‘Olympic Games,’ ” Farrar re- members. “He would intro- duce the other coaches and al- ways had some kind of story about the origin of their sport. He told the kids soccer de- veloped from a skirmish be- tween the Romans and Gauls. When someone was decapi- tated during the fight, the ex- cited victors started kicking the head around.” According to Lord, cheer- leading was born when a fren- zied group of Englishmen cheered Lady Godiva’s bare- backed approach into Coven- try. Other alumni may remem- ber Lord as coach of the suc- cessful track teams from 1955 to 1967 or as the coordinator of team trips to other colleges. With characteristic thorough- ness, he planned for every- thing—even “rest stops” were thoughtfully included for the comfort of the traveling ath- letes. “In all those years, he never missed a detail, except for 16 once,” said Frank Parsons, as- sistant to the president and a pretty fair detail man himself. “Coming back from a trip to Sewanee, he forgot about the time-zone change and we had to race to catch the train at Chattanooga. But that was his only oversight ever!” Students today either mar- vel or joke about Lord’s thor- oughness. “He treats his courses with such serious- ness,” says Gallagher. “At the beginning of the term, he hands out a syllabus. He gives assignments, homework and handouts in class. It’s just like being in the Commerce School!” There are plenty of student stories about his classes. Re- gardless of what is being taught, Lord includes physical fitness tests, heartbeat and pulse rate checks at the be- ginning and at the end of the term and a series of intraclass competitions including the “Telegraph Tournament,” run over long distances by telegram; the “Tombstone Tournament,” an _ all-day event testing stamina; and a “Co-ed Tournament.” In the last-named, dates are required to participate, fostering Lord’s philosophy of “Fun, Fitness and Friendship.” Many students take Lord’s courses not because they want to develop a particular sports skill, but just to get in shape. “You get results from Coach Lord,” said Bill Kerr, a 1977 graduate. “I took squash and lost my beergut.” Lord uses class tournaments and fitness tests to keep his students’ interest while they improve physically, and he has applied the same techniques to his aerobics course. “If you run the same course, it gets boring,” he says. So he mapped out a series of courses throughout Lexington and Rockbridge County which might be compared to historic walking tours—except the students run. Students have the choice of seven courses. ‘The Stonewall Jackson, an in- nercity run, pays tribute to the Civil War hero by covering all the Lexington buildings and shrines associated with him— including the Jackson Arch and statue at VMI, the Lee- Jackson House on the W&L campus, the Jackson House on Washington Street, Stonewall Jackson Hospital, and the Stonewall Jackson Cemetery. The House Mountain run takes students out into the county—they are allowed to drive to the base of the moun- tain—and up and over one of the county’s most scenic land- marks. Lord practices what he preaches. He runs every day no matter where he is. “I’ve run in parking lots in Detroit,” he says, “on hotel roofs in Tokyo, in strawberry patches in Norway and cemeteries in Copenhagen.” He believes in his own gospel. “There may be better forms of exercise, but for total fitness, running is tops.” Frederic Schwab, professor of geology and another avid runner, once overheard stu- dents talking about the aero- bics course. At the beginning of the term Coach Lord told them “This is the best course you'll ever have at W&L.” One student said he thought Lord was kidding at first, “but by the end of the term I agreed with him.” Schwab credits Lord not only with promoting fitness among students but in the faculty and staff as well. “He’s teaching us all how to fight middle age.” Lord hasn’t confined the fight to the locker room, gym or athletic field. Although it was more than a decade ago, many faculty members re- member an impassioned speech he gave at a faculty meeting to protest a proposal to do away with physical edu- cation requirements. Lord argued that it was important to preserve a program of fit- ness at W&L because Ameri- can society was being overrun by machines and man was al- ready too dependent on them. At the climax of the speech he asked his audience “What will you choose?” and held up a stopwatch, representing fit- ness, and an electric tooth- brush, signifying decadence. The faculty voted for the stopwatch, and the physical education requirement stayed on the books—the only man- datory requirement left at WEL. No picture of Coach Lord would be accurate if he weren't wearing his referee’s whistle. For 38 years, he has officiated for every sport “ex- cept ice hockey and _ horse polo” and at every level “from the majors to girls’ basket- ball.” “Norm is considered the best track and swimming starter in the state. He’s been a leading Southern Confer- ence football official for years,” said Farrar, who has officiated with Lord at many games since Lord taught him as a student. “It’s impossible for him to overlook a penalty,” laughed Farrar. “I remember the time Norm officiated at a little junior varsity game against St. Christopher’s about five or six years ago. He was down the field when he saw a penalty upfield. He threw his hand- kerchief and was running toward the players when the W&L coach called out from the bench, ‘What was that for?’ He hesitated for a split sec- ond—because he didn’t see the penalty exactly but he knew there was one—and then an- swered, ‘A flicker, that was a flicker’ and ran on. That’s Norm.” —Jan Shivel » By Bill Schnier Sports Information Director WINTER SPORTS REVIEW Basketball Team Has Banner Season; Swimmers and Wrestlers Excel The 1977-78 basketball Generals won both the regular season and tournament championships in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference this winter, had their second consecutive 20-plus-victory season, and won the first NCAA post- season game in the University’s history. The team finished the season with a 22- 6 record. For the third time in the last four years, W&L went to the NCAA South- Atlantic Regional tournament. The Generals won the semifinal game against Jersey State City State College, 66-65. In the championship game, W&L was defeated by host Kean College, 80-64. Entering that final game, the Generals had won 12 of their last 13 contests. Senior guard Pat Dennis, a 1977-78 co-captain, was named Outstariding Player in the South-Atlantic Regional tournament. He had 29 points ih the Jersey City win and 30 in the loss to Kean. Those 59 points gave him an even 700 for the year, breaking the school record for points in one season of 656, set by Jay Handlan, ’52, 27 years ago. Dennis finished his W&L career with 1,428 points, seventh on the all-time W&L scoring list. A third-team All-American last season, Dennis averaged 25.0 points a game this season and was named the ODAC Player of the Year for the second straight season. A potential first-team All-American this year, he would be the first W&L first-team selection since Dom Flora, ’58. Junior forward Dave Leunig was named second-team all-ODAC this season and set a school record with a free throw percentage of .852. Junior point guard Mike Wenke passed off for 259 assists in 1977-78, anew W&L mark, and now has 548 career assists, also a W&L record. Sophomore forward Larry Meyer’s .553 field goal percentage was the fourth highest in W&L history, while the team’s average of 88.9 points per game is the highest ever. The basketball Generals received honorable mention in every NCAA Division III national poll this season. Last year they finished the year ranked fourth nationally, but failed to win an NCAA game. Included in this year’s wins were three each over Lynchburg and Bridgewater. The wrestling Generals won the ODAC title and captured Wrestler of the Year honors with junior Ed Rodgers. The team finished with a 9-8 record and defeated VMI, James Madison and the three ODAC opponents. It was the second straight year W&L took the conference title. Seven other wrestlers won all-conference honors. Rodgers won 24 matches, one shy of the school record. Sophomore Ray Gross (142 lb.) was 22-9-] this year, second best on the team. Other double figures winners for W&L were Dan Kniffen (190), 18-14; Warren Mowry (ULT.), 15-13; Howdy Knipp (126), 14-11-1; and Jim Flippen Junior tri-captai Ed Rodgers was named ODAC Wrestler of the Year. (150) and Tom Oxendine (177), both at 12-14. Rodgers, Gross, Knipp and Kniffen competed in the NCAA Division III national championships. Only Knipp won a match. The W&L swimmers set three state records in the state meet and took third place, behind Richmond and Virginia Tech. They finished their season with a 10-1 dual meet record, their best ever, losing only to Richmond. Among the opponents defeated were Division I schools James Madison, VMI, Virginia Tech, George Washington, William and Mary, Virginia Commonwealth and Old Dominion. At press time, seven W&L swimmers were competing in the Division III nationals in Grinell, Iowa. Senior 13- time All-American John Hudson qualified in the 200, 500 and 1,650 yard 17 SPORTS REVIEW freestyle events. Co-captain Keith Romich qualified in the 100 and 200 yard freestyle and the 200 yard butterfly. Other W&L national qualifiers were Drew Pillsbury in the 100 and 200 backstroke and the 400 individual medley, Chip Hoke in the 500 and 1650 freestyle and the 400 individual medley, Bob Newcomb in the 100 and 200 freestyle, and freshman Jay Diesing in the one meter diving. The 400 free relay team of Newcomb, Scott Duff, Romich and Hudson also qualified. Hudson, Romich, Duff and Hoke are | all returning All-Americans. Last year, W&L finished ninth nationally and had five All-Americans on the roster. The indoor track and field team finished third in the ODAC Indoor Championships. Junior Phil Dunlay was all-conference in the 35 pound weight toss event. The two mile relay team of Richard Bill, John Morris, Bill Welch and Chris Daniel also won all- conference standing. The 1978 spring season opened on March 6th with Duke upsetting the lacrosse Generals, 12-10. The stickmen had an exhibition against Mount Washington on March 11 and were to be at home for four games, beginning March 20 with Ohio State. 13-tume All-American J] ohn Hudson 18 NEW FOOTBALL COACH Gary R. Fallon Comes to W&L From Princeton Gary R. Fallon, most recently offensive coordinator at Princeton University, is Washington and Lee’s new head football coach. He had been a member of the Princeton coaching staff since 1972. Fallon, 37, a 1962 graduate of Syracuse University succeeded William D. (Bill) McHenry, who stepped down as W&L’s head coach at the end of the 1977 season to devote his full time to his duties as athletic director and head of the physical education department. Fallon was also appointed an associate professor of physical education at W&L. McHenry, in announcing Fallon’s appointment said, “We are very fortunate to obtain the services of Gary Fallon. He brings to Washington and Lee an exceptionally fine football background which spans a coaching career at several levels. Gary, as an Ivy League coach at Princeton, has worked with the type of students and alumni we have here at W&L, and his basic coaching and teaching philosophy regarding Division III football should enhance our position in years to come.” Fallon is the 30th head coach in the 93-year history of football at Washington and Lee. He was chosen after an exhaustive search that began in November and continued into January. “We were most impressed,” McHenry said, “by the quality and quantity of the applicants for the position.” Fallon was Princeton’s offensive backfield coach and receiver coach before becoming offensive coordinator last season. For three years prior to his term at Princeton, Fallon was assistant football coach and offensive coordinator at Ithaca College and also assistant lacrosse and assistant wrestling coach. He received his B. A. in physical education from Syracuse in 1962 and his M. A. in special education from there in 1967. At Syracuse, he was an honorable mention All-East fullback in 1961, and the Syracuse teams on which he played went to the Cotton Bowl in 1959 and to the Liberty Bowl in 1961. He was captain of the 1962 Syracuse lacrosse team and was chosen to play in the North-South All-Star lacrosse game. He was also a wrestler at Syracuse. After graduation, he spent the 1962 season with the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League and with the Hamilton Ti-Cats of the Canadian Football League. He was a member of the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL in 1963, and he also played semi-pro football as a runningback and linebacker with the Syracuse Stormers of the Continental League and Mohawk Valley and Scranton of the Atlantic Coast League. A native of Watertown, N. Y., Fallon is married to the former Patricia Grant; they have three daughters, Kelly, 15, Carrie, 13, and Susan, 10. This article by Steve Waid appeared mm the Roanoke Times & World News on March 4, 1978, just before WSL played its first game in the NCAA Dwision III South Atlantic Regional tournament. Excerpts are reprinted with permission. Pat Dennis has those well-scrubbed, big-smile good looks that some smart ad executive might want to use ina Pepsodent ad, or something like that. You know his type: solid college student, good upbringing, industrious, pleasant personality. Odds are he was an altar boy when he was a kid, maybe even a Boy Scout—or both. But there’s considerably more to Pat Dennis than being the image of Jack Armstrong. In the first place, he’d probably cringe if he thought everyone pegged him for the All-American boy. Secondly, he is perhaps the most outstanding basketball player to come to Washington and Lee in two decades. In a career that has spanned three varsity seasons and will last as long as the Generals advance in the NCAA basketball playoffs, Dennis has established himself as the complete player. In the last two seasons, during which Dennis has metamorphisized into the premier player he is, W&L has won 46 games and lost only 10. It has won the Old Dominion Athletic Conference basketball championship three straight years and has been an NCAA post- season entry in three of the last four years. In three seasons, Dennis has: e Moved into seventh place on the W&L all-time scoring list with 1,369 points. [He wound up with 1,428.] e Moved from a 4.8 points a game average in 1975-76 to a 24.7 average this season. @ Come well within range of the single-season scoring record of 656. Dennis has 641 points and needs only 16 more to break the mark. [He set the record with 700 season points. ] e Been named a third-team All- By Steve Waid PAT DENNIS Basketball Star Proves That Good Athletes Do Find Happiness at W&L American in 1976-77 as well as the Virginia College Division Player of the Year in the same season. e Earned the ODAC Player of the Year title twice in succession. e Taken second place on the General’s squad in rebounds with 6.1 per game—and he is a guard. e Established a school record in shooting percentage by hitting 57.4 percent of his shots last season. e Let none of the above go to his head. In fact, Dennis’ beginning at W&L was downright humble. “I remember I applied to the school because my parents knew about it and I knew some friends who went here,” said Dennis. “I had heard of Washington and Lee at home (Towson, Md.), when the lacrosse team would come up there to play.” At Loyola High School in Towson, Dennis’ basketball ability was camouflaged. He was the third guard on a Catholic league team that played 19 PAT DENNIS routine, unspectacular basketball. “We would walk the ball down the floor and then set up for a good shot,” said Dennis. “We would go up against Baltimore schools like Dunbar with Skip Wise and play like that. I didn’t get to play much so I knew I wasn’t getting much notice. “In fact, I didn’t draw much attention from the colleges. Washington College in Maryland was the only school that showed an interest in my basketball ability, but I guess that might have been because I applied there.” When Dennis selected W&L, he had no idea that the school’s basketball style would complement him as it has. Dennis was fully indoctrinated into a freewheeling, running attack when he came to W&L four years ago. It called for constant movement on offense in the search for the open man. Dennis liked it immediately. “I preferred the quicker tempo,” he said. “And in my first year, I played on the junior varsity team. That might have been the most important season for me. Coach (Dennis) Bussard worked with me and I began to get a whole lot of play. “I found myself getting better and better because I grew more confident. I felt I was helping the team and things were falling into place.” Sull, Dennis was by no means the player he is now. When he moved up to | the varsity three years ago, he was as nervous as one might expect when he got into his first game. “[ was playing behind John Podgajny and I got in when it was time for him to take a rest,” Dennis recalled. “I went out there and started pressing because I felt I had to do something while I was in there. “My first shot was a 25-footer from the wing: It was an air ball. That was embarrassing.” For Dennis, air balls have been as rare as meat loaf at a vegetarians’ convention since that day. Dennis is the compleat shooter, with the ability to hit from just about anywhere on the floor. “IT have always considered myself a good shooter,” Dennis said “But when I got here, I learned to score in more 20 different ways. I learned to shoot inside and to play the post. I’ve done both a lot more than I did in high school.” Dennis at present carries a 24.7 scoring average and is hitting at a 52.9 percent clip. Those are more than impressive Statistics. But at W&L, basketball, while competitive, is still on the NCAA Division III level. At that level, good city players aren't lured by scholarships because there are none available. They are forbidden by the NCAA as Division III schools are small and have tight budgets. Considering that, would Pat Dennis be the player he is now at say, North Carolina or Virginia? “You often watch those teams play on television and you see the players that get a great deal of the attention,” mused Dennis. “I’ve often thought as I was sitting there how I would do in another situation—like at one of those schools. “But I would not trade the situation I have here for one at a bigger school with a bigger program. I’m content here. “And at the big schools, you can find yourself starting one year and then they'll bring in a high school All- American the next year and you'll be on the bench. You are out of a job.” At W&L, much the same as it is at any other comparable school, the players have their goals and work toward them with the intensity shared by their fellow players in higher classifications. “People look at Division III and say we're just out here playing,” said Dennis. “But we are working as hard as the major schools. Sure, we don’t have the overall talent and quickness of big schools but, for us, working for the ODAC championship and an NCAA berth is just as important as winning the ACC is for Maryland or North Carolina, no matter how many people bother to take an interest in us.” The Generals’ next goal is to win in the NCAA, something they have failed to do in their previous two tries. [They beat Jersey City State College in the semifinal and lost to Kean College in the final. | “We’re working hard to win,” said Dennis. “Last year, we felt pressure because we were ranked fourth when the playoffs got under way and we felt we had to win. This year, we don’t feel that way. I think we are peaking just in time.” Dennis’ career has been a satisfying one, he says, but there’s always some concern over the future. “In one way or another, I’ve played basketball every day since I was a freshman in high school,” he said. “When it’s all over here, I would like to try and play in Europe because realistically, I don’t feel I have the talent to play in the NBA. “But whatever happens, it is going to be tough to give up basketball. I’m not sure I’m going to know what to do without it when the time comes to go out into the world and get a job.” And it’s a safe bet that for a good while, Washington and Lee basketball isn’t going to know quite what to do without Pat Dennis. CHAPTER NEWS Lacrosse Coach Emmer Is Winner of ’78 Lynchburg Citation LYNCHBURG.
