Par- ticipants in a two-day panel discussion at W&L on the topic ‘‘The Presidential News Conference: Problems and Promises’’ watch President Reagan’s March 6 news con- ference shortly before the first session. As they watch, they were videotaped by a news crew from a Roanoke TV station. And as they were videotaped, they were photographed by W. Patrick Hinely, ’73. Story starts on Page 1. by Bill Moyers ‘Toward Rebuilding a Sense of Consensus’ Bill Moyers, moderator of the two-day panel discussion on the topic, ‘‘The Presi- dential News Conference: Problems and Promises,’’ set forth the significance of the program in the following introductory re- marks at the second session. When I gave the commencement address at the University of Maine three years ago, a young woman who had just graduated said to me: ‘‘Mr. Moyers, you have been in both government and journalism. That makes everything you say doubly hard to believe.’’ It is that skepticism about both govern- ment and press that prompts the concern of this affair which was provoked by [Wash- ington and Lee University journalism pro- fessor] Ham Smith and supported by his colleagues in the Department of Journalism here. It is, and was, that crisis of legitimacy that brought about the convening of the Commission on Presidential Press Confer- ences of which Ray Scherer and the former Governor [Linwood Holton] who is with us tonight . . . . were a part. Good and decent men on both sides of the fence . . . have tried to grapple from their various perspectives with the crisis of legitimacy and credibility in the country. We are not... talking only about a plumbing matter between the President and the White House press corps. It is not simply a question of techniques. A disorder has hung over the White House for the last 20 years, and it seems reflected in manifestations far more sub- stantial than the disarray of the press con- ference. Good things were said this afternoon about the way Dwight Eisenhower con- ducted his press conferences. It was not lost on me that Eisenhower was the last Presi- dent to leave the White House with a measure of affection and success, the last President to finish the constitutionally allotted two terms to which a President is eligible. Kennedy, elected and assassinated, Johnson, elected and disgraced; Nixon, elected and discredited; Ford, appointed and defeated; Carter, elected and defeated. Bill Moyers Five unsuccessful Presidents in a row. It was not lost on me that the last Presi- dent to leave the office with esteem and affection is said, by members of this panel and others I know, to have been the last President to have successful press confer- ences. There is, I think, some relationship be- tween the disorder that lies deep at the White House and in our society and in the crisis of communications of which the public press conference is one revelation. I do not mean to suggest that fixing up the press conference will put Humpty Dumpty together again and all will be well with a republic that has been over the past 20 years embroiled in war and corruption at the highest level, in inflation and war in the Middle East, in [an] energy crisis, in a crisis of its youth, in the crisis of drugs, and many other of the crises that have plagued this country in the last 20 years. But I do think that one small victory for coherence in an incoherent time would be a step toward rebuilding the sense of con- sensus that is missing in this country. And I think, therefore, that the agenda that we are discussing in these three sessions is far more important than at first blush it might have appeared to have been. This is a subject that is discussed often over bars, in the back of the bus, at social engagements, and wherever men and women of the press corps convene. But it is a problem that goes to the heart of the whole question of legitimacy and credibility of democracy today. It is an old and familiar problem. If any of you have read the history of the first administration of George Washington, you know how many times he sounded like Lyndon Johnson as he stormed around his office, demanding of his aides to know what in the world those scrounges in the press meant when they were writing such terrible things about him. It is not a recent problem. And every administration experiences it. Here is a story in the New York Times in 1969 about how Nixon is off to such a good start in holding news conferences and what a contrast his press conferences are to those of Lyndon Johnson, which had been, in the end, so dismal. Here, in the same paper four years later, [a story] headlined, ‘*Presidential News Conferences Dying Quietly Without Nixon’s Concern.”’ Here [in] the New York Times [of] Feb- ruary, 1977, ‘‘Jimmy Carter has chosen the best possible way to conduct press confer- ences.’’ And here, a few years later, ‘‘After two and a half years in the White House, President Carter and his top aides seem to have concluded that the Washington press corps is more a hindrance than a help in getting the president’s message across.”’ And another story in the New York Times quoting Carter officials as saying the ad- ministration has decided that the press is the enemy—not the Russians, not inflation, not the Arabs, not the belligerent populace, not a disaffected middle class, not the per- sistence of poverty, but the press. And here, as usual and right on time in the same newspaper, a headline, ‘‘Reagan To Meet Press Informally Every Week, Off To A Good Start.’’ And then a few days later, ‘‘Reagan Reads the Riot Act to An Unruly Press Corps.”’ There is something, I think, congenital in this condition which we are discussing here in these three sessions. p by Jeffery Hanna ‘MR. PRESIDENT?’ A Panel of Notable Newsmen Dissects the Presidential News Conference At 2 p.m. on March 6 in the White House, Ronald Reagan conducted the second nationally televised news conference of his presidency. At 3:30 that same afternoon in Lee Chapel, a panel assembled for the first in a two-day series of discussions. The topic? ‘‘The Presidential News Conference: Problems and Promises. ”’ Great timing, right? Blind luck, actually. It was pure happenstance that the panel’s opening session started before the TV cameras had cooled off in the White House. Of course, the coincidence was a happy one—mostly happy, anyway. Although President Reagan’s announcement Thursday that he was calling a news conference for Friday did mean one of the scheduled panelists (ABC News correspondent Sam Donaldson) was in Washington rather than Lee Chapel that afternoon, the topic could hardly have been more timely. Not that timeliness mattered, really. Considering the way the sessions went, considering the lively and informative (not to mention thoroughly entertaining) exchanges between panelists, the audience would undoubtedly have been Captivated no matter what subject was under consideration. It was little wonder, too, given the composition of the panel, which included: —Bill Moyers, press secretary to Lyndon B. Johnson and editor-in-chief of ‘‘Bill Moyers’ Journal’’ on the Public Broadcasting System, whose son Cope is a senior at Washington and Lee; —Ray Scherer, former NBC White House correspondent and co-chairman of a commission which studied the presidential news conference at the University of Virginia’s White Burkett Miller Center for Public Affairs. —Frank Cormier, Associated Press Washington correspondent and the man who, for 10 years, traditionally ended each presidential news conference with those familiar words, ‘“Thank you, Mr. President’’; —Bill Plante, the CBS News correspondent who was recently assigned that network’s White House beat after covering the Reagan campaign; —Clark Mollenhoff, the Washington and Lee journalism professor who made his presence known (and his booming voice heard) at many a presidential news conference while he served as Washington bureau chief for the Des Moines Register and Tribune; —Ron Nessen, press secretary to Gerald R. Ford and a former Washington correspondent for NBC News. It was an imposing group, a ‘‘high-powered’’ group as one newspaper account put it. Here, after all, were six men intimately familiar with presidential news conferences from Truman to Reagan; six men who had distinguished 2 Ron Nessen, Gerald Ford's press secretary themselves in their respective careers; but, best of all perhaps, six men who took genuine pleasure in relating their experiences and concerns with each other and to the audience. The idea for the conference belonged to Hampden H. Smith, associate professor of journalism at W&L. When Smith called Moyers to suggest such a symposium, Moyers was admittedly skeptical. ‘‘I frankly wondered whether the topic might not be too parochial to be of general interest,’’ confessed Moyers, whose fears proved unfounded judging from the way in which attendance increased at each session. During more than six hours of dissecting and scrutinizing past and present news conferences, the panel agreed that the news conference remains a vital instrument which has been abused and misused by recent Presidents; that Reagan’s experiments with the format have, for better or worse, restored a measure of decorum to what had become chaotic mob scenes; that the keys to an effective news conference are frequency and regularity; that television has drastically altered the nature of the news conference, again for better or worse; and, that the news conference is well worth saving (and improving) since it helps preserve the people’s right to know. Early on, the panel identified what it considered the goals of a news conference. The presence of two men—Moyers and Nessen, who once served as press secretaries—provided balance between the often opposing goals the press and the President have for such events. Moyers, for instance, related F rank Cormier. AP White Hous chief : how President Johnson once summarized his feelings for the news conference by saying: ‘“Those S.O.B.’s want me to make news, I’m just going to do my best to keep from making a mistake.”’ Aside from obvious goals (disseminating information, giving newsmen access to the President), the panelists hit upon a few areas which were less obvious. Mollenhoff suggested that a President sometimes learns as much from a news conference as newsmen do since a reporter’s question may well *‘inform the President about those activities the reporters know of within the administration that the President may be unaware of.”’ Citing the isolation of the modern presidency, Plante noted that a news conference ‘‘brings the most detached (President) down to earth.’’ Added Plante: ‘‘We need some vehicle in which impertinent questions can be asked, in which the leader can be bearded... .”’ Nessen pointed to the news conference as a means of intra-government communication, calling it ‘‘an opportunity for the President to let people in his government know what he is thinking.’”’ While Cormier said there is value in subjecting a President to direct questioning, he also contended that recent Presidents have usually used the opportunity to propangandize. ‘‘Presidents say what they want to say,”’ Cormier insisted. ‘‘It doesn’t matter what you ask as long as there are some key words which the President can respond to Bill Plante, CBS News Much of the conversation centered on Reagan’s recent experiments with the format. In his March 6 news conference, for example, Reagan had selected reporters by lottery, pulling names out of a jelly bean jar. Opinion was divided on whether the tamer, more dignified format was an improvement over the less dignified, but livelier, practice of reporters leaping to their feet and shouting, ‘‘Mr. President!”’ Mollenhoff, who rarely had trouble getting a President’s attention during the most chaotic conferences, argued that ‘the ultimate of decorum is in a dictatorship. I hope it does not get to the point where the press conference is rigged.’’ Nessen also opposed the lottery, which was ironic since he had instituted just such a system when Ford held news conferences away from the White House and a prearranged roster of questioners was required to allow local media an opportunity to question the President along with the regular White House press corps. Explained Nessen: “‘It is a matter of liveliness versus a certain kind of stilted atmosphere.’’ The lottery system—‘‘Reagan Roulette,’’ as it was quickly dubbed—was one of the recommendations made by the Commission on Presidential Press Conferences. Scherer, co-chairman of that commission, understandably favored Reagan’s experiment, suggesting that ‘‘it put a certain order to things.’’ The liveliest issue, by far, involved television’s impact. Mollenhoff insisted that the presence of cameras (introduced during Eisenhower’s presidency, but used for live transmission under Kennedy) has inhibited newsmen, causing 3 PRESIDENTIAL NEWS CONFERENCE Ray Scherer, NBC News them to tone down questions so they will not be perceived as verbally assaulting the country’s chief executive in living rooms from coast-to-coast. Questions which might have been asked without the world watching are no longer asked, Mollenhoff argued. Throughout the debate about TV, there was an undercurrent of yearning for the good old days when newsmen were ushered into the Oval Office where they could sit around the desk and chat informally, almost intimately, with the President. All that changed drastically when the news conference became a half-hour TV show with the President cast in a starring role and, according to some panelists, speaking through reporters, rather than to them. Plante was the chief defender of the electronic media. Though he admitted the news conference has become a ‘‘spectacle,’’ he wondered whether that is television’s fault or ‘‘our problem of not wanting to be perceived as pains in the neck on TV?’’ Added Plante, ‘‘Television intruded on an existing arrangement that worked well. But the fact is, it has been this way for 20 years. It is a fait accompli. Perhaps we should consider how to live with the fact of TV rather than to recover what is forever lost.”’ Too, Plante objected to those recommending that in addition to monthly televised news conference the President ought to hold informal sessions which cameras are not allowed to record. ‘*We should be allowed to take the tools of our trade with us. A camera is a tool of our trade,’’ argued Plante. 4 Clark-Mollenhoff, W&L journalism professor ‘You are a reporter,’’ countered Moyers. Is it necessary to have that camera with you every time you see the President?’ ‘It is,’’ answered Plante, ‘‘a question of access.”’ What made the panels work was the chemistry of the panelists. As much as anything the audience was entranced by an atmosphere which Moyers quite aptly likened to ‘‘veterans sitting around the campfire discussing old war tales. Moyers had some of the best tales to tell of his days in the Johnson White House when, he explained, ‘‘our credibility got so bad, we couldn’t believe our own leaks.”’ There was a time during Moyers’ tenure when Johnson required emergency gall bladder surgery. The plan was to keep the surgery secret until shortly after 3 p.m. when the stock market had closed. But an enterprising wire service reporter got wind of the breaking story and confronted Moyers with it 12 minutes before the tickers were to stop on Wall Street. ‘‘I pulled out a cigar and started lighting it while I casually strolled to my office door and locked it so the reporter couldn’t leave until the stock market closed,’’ said Moyers. ‘‘He started screaming at me to let him out. And I kept lighting my cigar.”’ There were also occasions, according to Moyers, when he would receive a telephone call from the President early on a Saturday morning. ‘‘He’d ask me if there was anyone in the press room,”’ said Moyers. ‘‘I’d say, ‘No, Mr. President.’ And he’d say, ‘Fine. Call a news conference.’ ”’ Imagine spending a night on Broadway without ever leaving the Lexington city limits. Impossible? Nothing, it seems, is impossible when it comes to Washington and Lee’s annual Fancy Dress Ball. As anyone who has ever attended one of these gala bashes knows, the sights and sounds of a Fancy Dress are unmatched. This year was no exception. Picture a young man all spruced up in black tie and white tennis shoes, gyrating to a band calling itself Wedsel’s Edsels and belting out the best (if, indeed, there really is such a thing) of the Beach Boys. Or if ‘‘Help Me Rhonda’’ is not exactly your cup of tea, how about the pickin’ and grinnin’ of Riders in the Sky, a country- western trio whose stirring rendition of ‘‘Cool Water’’ would make Gene Autry’s eyes glisten? There was all that at Fancy Dress. And more. Much, much more. In short, there was a little something for everyone at this latest edition of what was Fancy Dress 19S1 Photographs by W. Patrick Hinely, ’73 and Tammy Teal once considered (and most assuredly still is) *‘the outstanding collegiate social event of the South,’’ in the words of the New York Times. This year’s theme, ‘‘On Broadway,’’ was carried out to the nth degree, from the yellow brick road in The Wiz to the graffiti-filled red brick walls of West Side Story. Some of Broadway’s biggest hits became themes within the theme. For instance, the main ballroom, Evans Hall, was magically transformed into a scene straight out of Camelot. Okay, so maybe Richard Burton didn’t make it. But there was a King and his Queen, majestically portrayed by James W. Whitehead, secretary of the University, and his wife, Celeste, who could hardly have looked more regal. There was even a Merlin, courtesy of biology professor Randy Emmons, whose costume (complete with white rabbit) was all the rage. Music in Camelot was provided by Peter Duchin and his orchestra. Fancy Dress veterans insisted there has rarely been a more danceable dance, thanks partly to Mr. Duchin but also partly to the fact that the ballroom (at least in the early stages of the evening) was a bit less crowded than in years past—less crowded, in this case, meaning not quite as congested as a medium-sized cattle car. From Camelot, dancers wound their way through a maze of rooms, all decorated as sets of other Broadway shows. Riders in the Sky held forth in the Oklahoma room where their sagebrush and saddles looked perfectly at home. Wedsel’s Edsels, their ducktails gleaming, were be-bopping on the set of Grease. Down in the Showboat (which is Fairfax Lounge during more mundane times), the Dixieland Strutters strutted their stuff while Roomful of Blues provided the sounds down on the set of Hello, Dolly in the Cockpit. For those ear-weary souls looking for a change of pace and brave enough to wedge their way down the hallway to the Cabaret, magician Bill Clary spent the night cutting young women in half. The weekend actually began the night before the Ball when folk singer John Prine presented a concert. As usual, the parties continued non-stop. Clearly, Fancy Dress is not getting older—only better. ARET W&L INs AND OUTs Admissions Steady... Applications for admission to Washington and Lee this year have been at a nearly identical pace with a year ago when the University had its highest number of applicants—1 ,413—-since 1966. Moreover, this year’s applicants compare favorably on a qualitative basis with last year’s pool which represented one of the strongest in recent years in terms of Statistical measures of achievement and personal records. As of March 1, 1,340 candidates had made application to the University. On the same date a year ago, there had been 1,351 applications. According to William M. Hartog, director of admissions for W&L, the eventual total will likely reach 1,400 applications. That would represent a decline of less than one percent from a year ago but would mark only the second time since 1973 that applications have reached or exceeded 1,400. Hartog expects the University to offer admission to 800 applicants. As of March 1, 456 applicants already had been offered admission, and 60 of those ...And Placement Is Even Better If the Class of 1980 is any indication, W&L graduates are doing quite well in today’s crowded job market and competitive graduate and professional schools. Members of the University’s most recent baccalaureate class are—for the most part—doing what they want to do, according to Michael A. Cappeto, associate dean of students and director of career development and placement. Cappeto bases this belief on the findings of the Placement Office’s annual survey of recent graduates. More than 83 percent of the 1980 graduates answered questions about their graduate study or jobs as well as their salary, career plans and orientation. The survey, which was not undertaken until October 1980, allowed graduates ample time to conduct a job search or begin graduate study. While some graduates indicated they were not admitted to the law, medical, business, or graduate school of their first choice, they were nevertheless accepted somewhere, in most every case their second or third choice. Likewise, most graduates who began looking for jobs found them and indicated they are satisfied with the work they are doing. Almost one-third, 30.2 percent, entered graduate and professional school as full-time students, slightly less than last year’s 35.7 percent. But, according to Cappeto, “‘these Statistics should not be regarded as a valid measure of the percentage of W&L alumni who pursue graduate education, since there is a growing trend for students to work a few years prior to pursuing a graduate program.’’ For the fifth year in a row, more undergraduates entered law school than any other single type of graduate study—14 percent in all, a figure that has remained fairly constant over the years. The University of Virginia topped the list of law schools with 1980 graduates in the first year class (five), followed by W&L’s law school (four). All told, graduates are enrolled in 23 different law schools, ranging from Duke to Georgetown to Oklahoma to Rutgers. The number of graduates entering other graduate or professional programs, business school, medical school, or graduate programs, is down slightly from a year ago. Nearly three percent entered M.B.A. programs at nine schools, including New York University, Tulane, and the University of Texas. Nine medical schools, such as Louisiana State, Virginia, and Vanderbilt, were represented by 4.3 percent of the graduates. And nearly nine percent of the Class of 1980 entered graduate school programs other than law, business, or medicine. Graduates reported entering 18 graduate schools, including Cornell, Dallas Theological Seminary, the Pratt Institute, and Texas A&M, to earn degrees in nearly had confirmed their intentions of enrolling next fall. In qualitative terms, the 456 admitted had average Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores of 566 on the verbal portion and 616 in math. The 60 who confirmed have average SAT scores of 573 verbal and 596 math and rank in the 84th percentile of their high school classes. This year’s admissions program has involved some perceptible shifts from past years, especially in terms of the geographic areas from which applications are being made. ‘“We have attracted more students this year from what have not traditionally been strong W&L areas,’’ says Hartog. ‘‘We have, for instance, had a number of applications from such places as Albuquerque, Phoenix, and Tucson as well as increases in applications from California. . ‘While we are receiving about the same number of applications from cities where W&L traditionally has drawn well, those applications are now coming from different schools in those cities. ‘‘Our expanded travel itinerary in admissions plus the continuing growth of the alumni admissions program are chiefly responsible for the shifts.”’ During the current academic year, W&L admissions officials have represented the University in 34 different states and have taken part in 50 to 60 “‘college nights’’ for high school seniors. In addition alumni have represented the University at another 50 to 60 of those college nights as part of the alumni admissions program which is directed by James D. Farrar. ‘*More and more, the role of alumni is taking on greater meaning in admissions,”’ says Hartog. ‘‘Our goal is to increase the alumni admissions program from the 56 cities where we now have programs to 80 cities in the next year.’” Aside from the invaluable alumni involvement, one of the most successful new techniques the admissions office has employed involves a direct mailing campaign. The admissions office has, for the past two years, obtained lists of the top high school seniors from throughout the country as identified by the College Board which administers the SAT tests. The seniors on those lists—10,000 a year ago and 20,000 this year—receive W&L admissions literature designed specifically for a direct mail campaign. ‘Nothing has been more effective than the direct mailing,’’ says Hartog, supplying figures which show that direct mailing last year generated 108 applications which, in turn, resulted in the enrollment of 38 freshmen who had average SAT scores of 608 verbal and 645 math. This year, 150 applications were generated through the direct mailing campaign. “More and more, this technique will become a major part of what we do,”’ says Hartog. ‘‘There is no question that we are reaching more ears now than ever before. But the one thing we continue to emphasize in the admissions program is that ours remains a qualitative search, not a quantitative one.”’ 20 different fields, such as geophysics, mechanical engineering, psychology, interior design, and architecture. Cappeto noted the decline in recent years of graduates entering humanities-related graduate programs. The second half of Cappeto’s report dealt with graduates who went to work immediately after graduation. Nearly 60 percent of the graduating class obtained jobs after graduation. This figure is slightly higher than the five year average, 57.4 percent. Business, education and the military were the most popular careers. The report distinguished between a job and a career—a career being the type of work composed of one or more related jobs. The report noted that ‘‘statistics show that during his working life, the typical college graduate will have three different careers composed of twelve different jobs. Also, today’s college graduate is expected to keep his first job for about two years. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind that the results of this study show the types of jobs and (maybe) the first careers entered by the recent graduates. Results are not predictions of future careers of the Class of 1980.”’ Slightly more than half of the graduates who did not enter graduate or professional school received job offers on or before graduation day. About 10 percent received jobs in each of the five months following graduation so that by late October (when the survey was made) only 7.6 percent of the class remained unemployed. All but six unemployed graduates indicated they had just recently started their job search or were not seeking work. Cappeto concluded that *‘unemployment affects only an insignificant number of recent W&L graduates.”’ In terms of employment quality or underemployment (the underutilization of skills, education and human resources which is a serious problem in labor markets today) graduates again fared well. Although 15.7 percent of job holders believed they were underemployed, only 8.7 percent saw no future in what they were doing. To measure the job satisfaction of recent graduates, questions were asked about job challenge, long range career goals, salary, geographic location, and type of work. In general, the Class of 1980 seemed satisfied with their jobs. More than 85 percent found their jobs challenging while 67.3 percent indicated that their job was consistent with their long range career goals. Most (67.9 percent) said they were satisfied with their salary and even more (85.6 percent) with the geographic location of their job. The median annual salary range for graduates was $12,000 to $12,999—up $1,000 from 1979. When asked °whether or not they were satisfied with the type of work they were doing, 84.9 percent indicated that they were. ODK CONVOCATION Four Alumni Honored; President Huntley Discusses the Concept of Leadership Omicron Delta Kappa, the national leadership fraternity founded at Washington and Lee in 1914, honored four prominent alumni at the University’s Founders’ Day- ODK Convocation on Jan. 19. The occasion marked the 174th birthday of Robert E. Lee. President Robert E. R. Huntley, the principal speaker, discussed the concept of leadership and its future in America. The four alumni inducted as honorary members were Earl T. Jones, a retired meat packing company executive; Joseph L. Lanier, retired chairman of West Point Pepperell, Inc., (who was inducted in absentia); Dr. E. Darracott Vaughan Jr., surgeon-in-charge at the New York Hospital- Cornell Medical Center; and Harry W. Wellford, U.S. District Court Judge for the Western District of Tennessee. Nineteen students—15 undergraduates and four law students—were also inducted into ODK, which now has chapters at more than 160 colleges throughout the country. A highlight of the convocation was the announcement that W&L’s ODK chapter has established the Rupert N. Latture Outstanding Sophomore Award to be given annually to the W&L sophomore who best exemplifies the ideals of ODK. Rupert Latture, professor of political science emeritus and now special assistant to the president, is the sole surviving founder of ODK. He celebrated his 89th birthday on the day before the ceremony. Jones is a member of W&L’s class of 1930. He is the former president of the Jessie Jones Sausage Company of Raleigh, N.C., now part of General Mills, Inc., a veteran of the U.S. Navy, and a trustee of Peace College. Jones was class agent for W&L’s class of 1930 from 1974 to 1980 and became one of the most successful fund-raisers in the University’s history. In 1980, Jones raised almost $54,000 for the University’s Annual Fund with donations from 92 percent of the members of his class. Lanier received his B.S. degree from Washington and Lee in 1927. He is retired chairman of the board of West Point Pepperell, Inc., of West Point, Ga.—one of the nation’s largest textile manufacturers. He has been a director of West Point Manufacturing Company, Dixie Cotton Mills, and the First National Bank, and a 10 F. lax, "SIL, president of ODK, announces : Rupert Latture Award. trustee of the Girls Training School. Lanier was a member of W&L’s Board of Trustees from 1953 to 1975. Vaughan graduated from Washington and Lee in 1961 and received his medical degree from the University of Virginia. A former member of the faculty of the University of Virginia, he is surgeon-in-charge and James J. Colt Professor and chairman of the urology department at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center. He is also a member of the Scientific Advisory Board and the National Kidney Foundation. In July 1980, New York magazine named Vaughan one of the ‘‘Best Doctors in New York.”’ Wellford, a 1946 graduate of W&L with a law degree from Vanderbilt University, is U.S. District Judge for Western Tennessee. He has been a director of the Memphis Community Council, chairman of the Shelby County Republican Party, and a member of the committee to draft a new charter for the city of Memphis. President Huntley’s remarks on leadership came on the day before Ronald Reagan was sworn in as the 40th President of the United States and also one day before the release of 52 Americans being held hostage in Iran. He began by pointing out how difficult the concept of leadership is to deal with, saying that it is similar to the concept of sincerity. “‘Both qualities,’’ he said, ‘‘are frequently praised in the abstract—but in reality may be found most distasteful.’’ Echoing characteristics often cited when talking of leadership, Huntley spoke of how important commitment is to what one believes to be true, but also identifying the problems in being committed to one’s beliefs which become self-evident, as well as determining what constitutes commitment. One way out of this dilemma, according to Huntley, is to find another person whom one greatly admires or is attached to and become committed to follow that person and his or her beliefs, no matter that he or she may not be in a formal position of leadership in society. This type of person, the charismatic leader, is perceived as having a special talent or grace, but this poses problems for a democracy, for “‘if a democracy will work only when it can produce charismatic leaders then it is fatally flawed.’’ He touched on another aspect of leadership—authority—when he said that ‘“sometimes we actually want to be the victims of circumstance or the minions of authority.’’ But this may not apply, for ‘‘always straining for recognition within each of us is that deeply rooted knowledge of our humanity, of our personal individuality and responsibility.’’ Huntley pointed out that we know we were not placed on earth to ‘‘shuffle aimlessly down some predetermined path, even if the path be strewn with rose petals.”’ The American experiment, to build a Earl T. Jones, ’30 Dr. E _ Darracott Vaughan Jr., 61 os governmental structure on the premise that the principal sovereign is the individual, also presents problems, for the people may grow weary of the burden of self-rule. Huntley said that “‘such weariness might show itself in a general attitude of the people to conclude that anything which is not forbidden by the state is approved. Such an Harry W. Wellford, ’46 Joseph L Lanier, ‘27 attitude, quite obviously, soon puts the state in the position of the sole repository of the values by which individuals and groups in society are to mold their beings . . . As the common personal and moral values we once shared are dissipated, as the problems of a modern overcrowded society press in around us, we are increasingly likely to yield to that ancient tendency to give up a personal sovereignty which we no longer know how to exercise.’’ And, Huntley said, ‘‘there will always be, as there have always been, those among us who will urge that such a course is precisely the right one, even the noble one, for us to take.’’ Huntley pointed out that our founding fathers based our nation on a concept of leadership which is defined in terms of service to others, a truly revolutionary experiment in politics. Telling his audience that we are all privileged persons, in that we have a large measure of control over our destinies, with better opportunities and a better understanding of the world around us, Huntley said that we are all quite capable of becoming leaders, with or without charisma. "It requires courage to seek and to accept leadership of that rare but essential variety which increases the opportunities for others to achieve and to exercise effective personal sovereignity over their lives and destinies. It requires courage to be the kind of leader who seeks not to control but to serve, the kind of leader who measures his effectiveness, not by the patina of his image or the acclaim for his achievements, but rather by the extent to which his leadership has enabled others to be effective and valuable persons. ”’ Student initiates included four third-year law students: Philip D.

Freshman survey shows law is still top choice Law continues to be the leading career choice of W&L’s freshmen, according to an independent survey taken last fall of entering students at W&L and 354 other colleges and universities throughout the nation. Asked to indicate their ‘‘probable career occupation,’’ 29.9 percent of the W&L freshmen selected the ‘‘lawyer (attorney) or judge’’ category on the questionnaire. That compares with the 4.1 percent figure for all freshmen at the colleges taking part in the survey. The figure for the Class of ’84 was up slightly over a year ago when 25 percent of W&L’s Class of ’83 said they intend to enter law. The second leading choice of this year’s freshmen was ‘‘business executive’’ which was the choice of 17.9 percent (as compared with 10.1 percent on a national basis). Next came ‘‘physician’’ with 13.6 percent of the W&L freshmen planning to pursue that career (contrasted with 3.5 percent nationally). Following those three categories were ‘‘writer or journalist’? which received 4.9 percent and “‘engineer’’ at 3.7 percent. The survey was directed by the Graduate School of Education at U.C.L.A. on behalf of the American Council on Education (ACE). As usual, a vast majority—88.1 percent, to be specific—of the W&L freshmen surveyed indicated that the University’s ‘*good academic reputation’’ was a ‘‘very important’ reason in the decision to enroll at the school. In the national survey, 50.8 percent of the respondents checked ‘‘good academic reputation’’ as a very important reason for their enrolling. Also as usual, the W&L freshmen characterized themselves as politically conservative to a greater extent than their peers around the country. At W&L, 42 percent indicated their political orientation is conservative; nationally, 17 percent chose conservative as their political orientation. As for their expectations of the next four years, 63.7 percent of W&L’s freshmen estimated the chances were ‘‘very good’’ that they would join a social fraternity; 47 percent felt they would maintain at least a B average; 67.7 percent expected to be satisfied with college; and, 17.2 percent anticipated a change in their career choice. Henneman to become assistant law dean Edward O. Henneman, assistant professor of law at the University, will become assistant dean of the School of Law on August 1. The announcement was made by Roy L. Steinheimer, dean of the School of Law. Henneman succeeds William Mc. Schildt, who is leaving to enter private practice in Hagerstown, Md. Born in New York City, Henneman is an honors graduate of Yale University and received his law degree from Harvard in 1962. He was associated with two New York law firms as a specialist in trust and estate law before coming to Washington and Lee in 1972 as associate director of development and director of deferred giving programs. Henneman became assistant professor of law in 1978. He presently teaches courses in trust and estate and family law. Schildt leaves W&L after four years as assistant dean. He received his B.A. degree with highest honors from Washington and Lee in 1964 and graduated from the University’s School of Law in 1968. From 1968 to 1972, Schildt was assistant (and later associate) dean of students and assistant admissions director for the College. In 1970, he was given additional duties as coordinator of the freshman year, then a new position at the University. He also taught law, commerce, and administration during that time. He joined the law firm of Miles and Stockbridge of Baltimore, Md., in 1972 and was later assistant United States attorney for the district of Maryland. Edward O.

Without so much as breaking stride, the Generals dashed into the fire and proceeded to battle the blaze, putting their new running shoes and warmups on the line in the process. Before long, the fire was extinguish- ed, and our heroes regrouped and trotted off as the local fire department arrived on the scene. Explained one of the eight: ‘‘We collected ourselves and headed into the sunset, just like the Lone Ranger after a day’s work.”’ Well, not exactly like the Lone Ranger. The Generals wound up back in track coach Norris Aldridge’s office, asking for new warmups to replace the sooty ones. 13 Le GAZETTE Administration Professor John DeVogt and Commerce Fraternity President David Irvin, ’81, talk with Philip Morris Vice Chairman and W&L Trustee Ross R.

Asian Studies meeting draws large attendance The Southeast Conference of the Associa- tion for Asian Studies held its annual meeting on the University’s campus in January, attracting more than 100 participants from 16 states and five countries. The Association for Asian Studies is the major scholarly organization for specialists on Asia. It publishes three separate journals on Asian studies. The Southeast Conference is one of eight regional organizations. Co-sponsored by W&L and Virginia Military Institute, participants included professors from universities and colleges throughout the Southeast as well as representatives from government, private business, and foreign embassies. Some of the topics discussed at the conference included ‘‘The Place and Role of Asian Women,”’ ‘‘Chinese Ideology and Modernization,’’ and ‘‘Politics and Economics in Southeast Asian States.”’ Roger Jeans, associate professor of history at W&L, served with VMI professor Patrick Mayerchak as local arrangements chairmen. Minor L. Rogers, associate professor of religion at W&L, and James T. Yashiro, Howerton Scholar-in-Residence at W&L, participated in panel discussions during the three-day conference. Keynote speaker for the event was Eleanor H. Jordan of Cornell University, president of the Association for Asian Studies. W&L superdancers raise $21,189 for MD research Their feet ached. Their legs wobbled. Their eyelids sagged. And their ears were ringing from the music. But when the participants in Washington and Lee’s third annual dance marathon finally stopped dancing at 2 o’clock on a Sunday morning, they had raised $21,189 toward muscular dystrophy research. More than 140 dancers participated in the 30-hour marathon, dubbed ‘*Superdance °81.’’ For the third year in a row, the event exceeded its stated goal which had been set this year at $20,000. Six bands, ranging from golden oldies music of the ’50s to disco, kept spirits alive and feet moving (if only barely toward the end). Special events also helped keep everyone awake, if not exactly alert. W&L’s fencing team gave an exhibition, the Muscular Dystrophy Association showed a film, and there was even a version of *‘The Price Is Right.”’ : But once again the most popular of those auxiliary events was the pie-throw in which W&L professors and administrators offered themselves up as targets for cream pie thrown by the highest bidder. This year’s targets included James W. Worth, W&L’s counseling psychologist; journalism professor Hampden H. Smith; Dan Murphy, assistant dean of students for fraternity affairs; and, Edward C. Atwood, dean of the School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics. Atwood established a new pie-throw record when one of his former students bid $115 for the honor of tossing a pie at the dean. Co-chairmen of ‘‘Superdance’’ were James B. Hemby and Frank W. Brower. Junior William W. Bourne received the most pledges, $1,156. W&L musical groups go on holiday tours Two of Washington and Lee’s student musical groups—the Glee Club and the Brass and Percussion Ensemble—went on tour during the University’s Washington Holiday in February. The Glee Club began its tour by performing for the University’s Board of Trustees, which was holding its annual winter meeting in Baltimore. The 30-member ““Superdance ’81’’ participants exceeded their goal for the third consecutive year, raising more than $20,000 for Muscular Dystrophy research. 15 Le GAZETTE Brass and Percussion Ensemble perform at Orlando’s Science and Space Transit Planetarium . . . . .

TWO SUMMER PROGRAMS 1 Humanities Institute for Business Executives The University will offer this summer a course in the humanities for rising business executives that President Huntley has said has ‘‘the promise of truly distinctive service to the business community.’’ The Washington and Lee Institute for Executives—to be held from June 14 through June 27—will relate the humanities to contemporary business issues and their far- reaching ethical implications. The Institute is designed primarily for men and women who are moving, or who may soon be expected to move, from middle-level positions in business where decisions are relatively narrow in scope and technical in nature into positions of greater responsibility where decisions are broader in scope, less technical, involve more components, and have far-reaching consequences. The brochure announcing the Institute notes: “Studies in the humanities have long been the chief form of inquiry designed to nurture the wider vision and to develop the qualities of mind so essential to executive leadership. They develop the mind’s capacity for distinguishing the good from the bad, for thinking about the side array of components found in all long-range decisions. Thus studies in the humanities are directly beneficial to the life of the corporation. ”’ The Institute is not a charm school, nor another ‘‘management development’’ workshop, nor a short course in ‘‘decision- making analysis.’’ A premise of the Institute is that the effective executive—the person with insight, imagination, wisdom, the larger vision—attains qualities for problem solving not so much from textbook learning and technical training as from studies of man himself, that is, from knowledge of the lasting products of man’s mind embodied in the humanities. President Huntley said: ‘“We have no ability to tell businessmen what to decide. Nor will intellectual rejuvenation for participants in the Institute be more than a pleasant, welcome by-product of our program. What we propose to do is simply this: to help rising executives confront their new challenges with broadened humanistic perspective, a sharpened ability to recognize ethical problems as they arise, and richer capacity to think with precision in resolving ethical quandries.’’ By making use of W&L’s excellent faculty and facilities during the two-week session, the approximately 30 participants will pursue the Institute’s goals by examining classical literary and philosophical writings and by analyzing contemporary business issues using the case method. The program, which received a substantial grant during its early planning stages from the National Endowment for the Humanities, has three prominent businessmen as advisors: Andrew Lewis, president of Best Products Co., Inc.; Ross R. Millhiser, vice chairman of Philip Morris, Inc., and T. Justin Moore, chairman and chief executive officer of Virginia Electric and Power Co. These men share a deep concern for the breadth of perspective which the next generation of decision-makers will bring with them as they rise to top executive positions. Lectures by members of the Institute faculty and guest professors and group discussions will highlight each day of the program, with such outside events as art demonstrations or recreational activities rounding out evenings of study and reflection. Participants will also have full use of W&L’s superlative athletic facilities and opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Rockbridge area. Additional information about the Institute is available.

Its primary goals are to stimulate and extend the intellectual curiosity of the participants and to help them dispel any anxieties about their ability to meet the academic and social challenges of college. The participants—students who will graduate from high school in 1982 and who are academically oriented, self-disciplined and have a strong secondary school background—will take two courses selected from a list of 12. The courses, all taught by outstanding W&L faculty members, will cover such diverse topics as ‘‘Contemporary Economic Issues,’’ ‘‘Leadership in the ’80s,”’ and ‘‘The Theory and Practice of Public Speaking.’’ In all, there are courses available in Administration, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, English, German (in translation), History, Physics, and Political Science. There will be sufficient time for recreation and social activities as well, all under the direction of an experienced professional assisted by college-student counselors. Activities will include squash, handball, basketball, tennis, swimming, etc., as well as movies, dances, field trips, and plays. Applications for Summer Scholars ’8 1 are due not later than May 1. Students will be notified by May 15 whether or not they have been accepted. Persons interested should apply as soon as possible.

Smitherman, a 6-7 center from Mt. Jackson, Va., was selected to the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) all- conference first team while Hoy, a 6-3 guard from Bryn Mawr, Pa., was named to the All- ODAC second-team. Smitherman, who earned his fourth varsity letter, started all 26 games this season and joined with Hoy to lead the team with a 14.0-point scoring average. He finished his career with 1,034 points. Smitherman also led W&L in field goal shooting, connecting on 54.4% of his shots, and finished second in rebounding, averaging 8.5 per game. Hoy, a three-year letterman, also averaged 14 points a game and had 920 for his W&L career. A second-team all- conference selection for the 1978-79 season, Hoy finished second on the team in assists with 72. The Generals concluded their season with a 60-58 set-back to rival Hampden-Sydney College in the quarterfinal round of the fifth annual ODAC Championship Tournament held in Salem, Va. W&L’s 16-10 final record is the team’s 14th winning mark during head coach Verne Canfield’s tenure. —E— Swimming Washington and Lee’s swimming team, which compiled a 3-7 dual meet record this winter, qualified three individuals and a relay team for the NCAA Division III national championships in March. Mike Bernot, a junior from Hampton, Va., qualified for the nationals in the 50-, 100- and 200-yard freestyle events. Rob Crawford, a sophomore from Ft.

The Generals, coached by Page Remillard, have been represented in the Division III championships each of the seven years they have been held. Indoor Track Washington and Lee’s track team, which placed third in a five-team field at the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Indoor Track Championships, now turns its sights toward the outdoor schedule. At the ODAC indoor championships, the Generals claimed first place finishes in four of the 14 events while running up a team score of 44 points. W&L’s individual event champions were junior John McKee of Clarksdale, Miss.., who won the shot-put with a heave of 42 feet, 7 inches; sophomore Gene Fellin of Hazelton, Pa., who won the pole vault with a 13-foot, 3-inch effort that tied the Wé&L school record set in 1954; freshman Kevin Kadesky of Dallas, Texas, who won the 60- yard dash title with a 6.6 seconds clocking; and the mile-relay team of seniors Billy Morris of Jacksonville, Fla., R. J. Scaggs of Roanoke, Va., freshmen Eroll Skyers of Bridgeport, Conn., and Kadesky, which turned in a 3:39.3 minute performance.

"“These were very pleasing individual performances,’’ stated eleventh-year head coach Norris Aldridge. ‘“While we simply did not have the numbers to overcome Lynchburg for second place, our younger athletes came through with some strong showings to earn the individual honors.”’ Wrestling Washington and Lee’s wrestling team posted a 4-9 record this winter under eighth- year head coach Gary Franke. The Generals’ key senior was captain Dave Stoeffel, competing in the 167-pound class. Stoeffel compiled a 10-12 overall record and a 7-5 dual match mark. Classmates on the squad included Jim Forte and Jerry Broccoli, both of whom competed in their first season on the W&L mats, Les Heart, who missed all but one match due to injury, Charles Adler, and four-year manager Vince Rospond. Four freshmen held spots in the starting line-up this season.

ON THE COVER: Washington Hall and Lewis Hall linked by the Footbridge over Woods Creek—symbolic of what some W&L observers perceive to be a widening gap between the undergraduate school and the School of Law. News Office Director Jeffery Hanna and Assistant Pub- lications Director P. Craig Cornett, ’80, set out to examine this issue from many angles. Their in-depth report starts on Page 1. THE WOODS CREEK GAP How Wide is the Separation Between the Law School and the Undergraduate School? IL, the fall of 1976, Washington and Lee’s School of Law packed up its torts and its texts and moved, leaving the cozy environs of Tucker Hall on W&L’s historic Colonnade to take up residence in spacious, modern Lewis Hall. The move created an obvious division—a physical one— between the law school and the undergraduate school, separated as they are by Woods Creek. But now, five years after the move, some members of the University community are concerned that this physical separation has caused, or at least magnified, other divisions and that there exist differences which simply cannot be reconciled no matter how many footbridges span Woods Creek to connect the schools. Has there been a change? Or is it only imagined? Has the relationship between the two schools been altered by the relatively recent geographic separation? Or has there always been an invisible, perhaps inevitable, line of demarcation? If, as some argue, the relationship has changed, is that a desirable change? And if it is not desirable, can anything be done to reverse the trend? What will be the future relationship between the law and undergraduate schools? These questions are not necessarily new. Conversations about a growing rift between the two schools has been heard on both sides of Woods Creek for some time now. But the issue rose to the surface in March when student leaders addressed the questions, touching off a series of articles and editorials in both the Ring-tum Phi, the undergraduate newspaper, and its law school counterpart, the Law News. There is, in the debate, some common ground. Virtually everyone associated with Washington and Lee seems to acknowledge that some separation between the undergraduate and law schools not only exists, but is quite natural given the different purposes and goals of the two schools. Yet, there are those who contend that one of the University’s distinctive traits is a certain sense of community that pervades the campus. These are the people who not only suggest the situation has changed, but also lament that change. But is it really any different now from what it ever was? William McC. Schildt, 64, ’68L, assistant dean of the law school, says no. ‘‘There was no more interaction [between undergraduates and law students] when I was in law school than there is today,’’ says Schildt, speaking from the perspective of one who attended W&L both as an undergraduate and a law Student. Andrew W. McThenia, ’58, ’63L, a professor of law who addresses the question from the same perspective as Schildt, agrees, saying: ‘‘People who think the separation is a ‘new’ thing are freezing history at a point in time when they were here, the way things were. There was a separation then, it has manifested itself in different ways, but there has always been Separation.’’ And from that same perspective Robert E. R. Huntley, "50, ’57L, president of the University and professor of law, suggests: ‘‘Nostalgia has a way of visiting the past with a rosy glow that never existed. There’s always been a separation between the law and undergraduate students. There was a Separation for me when I was a student. On the other hand, for several reasons, separation is a greater fact now.”’ Why is the separation more apparent? First and foremost, there is that geographic separation. The move from Tucker Hall to Lewis Hall represents a move of no more than 300 yards. In some respects, though, it might as well have been 300 miles. Law students simply do not need to come to the main campus very often. The exceptions are meals in the dining hall or co-op and use of the gymnasium. Also, undergraduates find little need to cross the ravine to visit the law school. And it is not a situation limited to the respective student bodies. The move created an obvious division—a ‘‘Faculty interchange is not quite as great now as it has . been,’’ admits Roy L. Steinheimer, dean of the law school, PY SICON VETERE ASCH ‘partly because it’s difficult for those of us in Lewis Hall to undergraduate school, separated as they are go to the Alumni House every morning for coffee.”’ by Woods Creek. The footbridges are there, though. So the physical separation, while a factor, is not the only change in the relationship. ‘*The physical division has made the separation that has always existed more evident,’’ says Schildt. Louis W. Hodges, professor of religion, adds that ‘‘a community—a sense of relating among human beings ‘“*People who think the separation is a ‘new’ thing are freezing history at a point in time when pursuing a common purpose—can be aided by spatial they were here, the way things were. There proximity, but not generated by it.’’ was a separation then, it has manifested itself What, then, are the other changes, the other differences? Some figures help explain: in 1957, there were 97 ae students in the School of Law while in 1980, four years after separation. ”’ the move, the law school enrollment was 334—more than Andrew W. McThenia, °58, *63L triple the number of 23 years earlier. ee With the change in numbers has come an even more dramatic change in the composition of the law school student body. For instance, the law class of 1959 had 29 graduates representing eight states. By contrast, the law class of 1979 in different ways, but there has always been | had 115 graduates representing 25 states. Law students now come from more undergraduate institutions than ever before—144 different schools as opposed to just 79 in 1970. All of this did not just happen, of course. The University instituted a law admissions policy designed to make the law school a strong national institution. Joseph E. Ulrich, ’59, ’61L, professor of law, observes that “‘when you decided to go out and recruit and bring in people from all over the nation, you necessarily had a more diverse group. The first year I was on the admissions committee, we had about 250 applications, the great majority from Washington and Lee and V.M.I. Over the next few years, we had 1,300 to 1,500.’’ Starting in the 1976-77 admissions year, Washington and Lee graduates were no longer given special consideration in admission to the School of Law. Prior to that change, Washington and Lee had been a seven-year program for many students: four years for the bachelor’s degree with another three for the law degree. Of the 185 students enrolled in the law school in 1970, 46 (or almost 25 percent) had received their undergraduate degrees from Washington and Lee. Ten years later, that figure was 26 (or less than eight percent) out of 334 law students. The fact is, W&L undergraduates are no longer encouraged to apply automatically to W&L’s law school. ‘‘The advice I give to an undergraduate is that if you’ve been to Washington and Lee, an all-male institution in a small town, for four years and you can get into a law school as good or better than Washington and Lee, then go,’’ says Michael A. Cappeto, director of career counseling and placement for the undergraduate school and pre-law advisor. Adds Ulrich: “‘My own impression is that for Washington and Lee students [undergraduates] it’s better to go some place else for law school.”’ The decline in the number of W&L undergraduates strolling across the footbridge to Lewis Hall for their postgraduate work has unquestionably contributed to whatever division exists between the schools. Fewer law students have ties to the undergraduate community. Clearly, the law school has become a different institution from what it was several years ago simply in terms of the diversity of its student body. That diversity involves more than the increasing number of undergraduate schools represented in the law school. There was a crucial turning point in 1972, for it was then that the law school began admitting women. Without question, that event had great impact on whatever gulf might have existed between the two schools. **With the addition of women, the law school becomes more and more a socially distinct and self-sufficient community,’’ says Lewis H. LaRue, ’59, professor of law. The differences in the composition of the respective student bodies do not stop there, either. In any given year, about 20 to 25 percent of the law students will be married—a figure far greater than that in the undergraduate school. And, as another point of comparison, the average age of the entering first year law student is slightly over 23 as opposed to the average age of an entering The move from Tucker Hall to Lewis Hall represents a move of no more than 300 yards. In some respects, though, it might as well have have been 300 miles. ‘A community—a sense of relating among human beings pursuing a common purpose— can be aided by spatial proximity, but not generated by it.’’ Louis W. Hodges Professor of Religion In 1957, there were 97 students in the School of Law while in 1980, four years after the move, the law school enrollment was 334—more than triple the number of 23 years earlier. ‘“‘The advice I give to an undergraduate is that if you’ ve been to Washington and Lee, an all- male institution in a small town, for four years and you can get into a law school as good or better than Washington and Lee, then go.’ Michael A. Cappeto Pre-law Advisor W&L freshman—18. Too, more law students than ever are entering law school after spending a year or more in the job market. With these striking changes in the law school student body—the variety of undergraduate institutions represented, the addition of women, the increase in the married student population—t is little wonder the law students and undergraduates find less common ground than in the past. Says McThenia: *‘It’s not surprising to me that there is not going to be a lot in common between a 42-year-old woman who has returned to [law] school and an 18-year-old freshman in college for the first ttme. They approach life differently and have had different life experiences. And both are now at Washington and Lee.”’ There are still other changes. Some observers note that legal education—i.e., the way law students are forced to perform—is also different now. Huntley, for instance, says that ‘‘there is a likely difference in the maturity and motivation of undergraduate and law students, a difference that is endemic to the situation. This has now been enhanced by the greater competition among law students in any law school to excel. The competition in law and in a tighter job market has increased the unity that exists in the law school. ‘‘In the old days, it did not make a difference how well you did in undergraduate or law school—not nearly the difference it makes now. But now the greater competition for satisfactory grades and good recommendations has increased the professional competition among law students. Now law students simply have to work a lot harder.’’ There are other, more visible, signs of the separation. Access to support services, dining facilities in particular, have added to the division. For many years, Washington and Lee students were virtually forced to eat at fraternity houses since there was no campus dining hall open to all students. As a result, most law students began or continued an affiliation with a fraternity—and thereby a relationship with the undergraduates. The addition of a dining hall open to all and other support services has lessened the fraternity affiliations of law students. For the past several years, the law school and undergraduate school have operated under different academic calendars. In 1970, the undergraduate school instituted its new curriculum with an accompanying change in calendar— two 12-week terms followed by one six-week term in the spring. The law school curriculum, meantime, requires two 15-week terms. That means that while classes are in session for 30 weeks at both schools, the two groups are only on campus together for about 21 of those weeks, allowing for varying holiday schedules and not counting pre-examination reading days and examination weeks. In 1979, for the first time, there were separate commence- ment exercises for the two schools—again for very important reasons. The undergraduate calendar requires that commencement take place during the first week of June at a time when law seniors would have been out of school for about three weeks and in the middle of bar examination review courses. eee aeeeeeeee—s———o—~™m™m™—™" ~~ **Both schools have their own classes for good, pedagogical reasons,’’ says Lewis G. John, ’58, dean of students in the undergraduate school. ‘*But when both undergraduate and law schools were on the same academic calendar, there was a more natural congruence.’’ It is, perhaps, these differences in the calendar that fuel some conflicts between the two student bodies. For instance, when the undergraduate campus is on break for certain vacations, some University support services are not available to law students who are still in class. The dining hall, for one important example, does not serve meals. The infirmary operates under shortened hours. The swimming pool closes because no lifeguards are available. This creates a situation in which the law students feel slighted. James F. Berl, ’81L, president of the Student Bar Association (S.B.A.) summarizes that feeling when he says: ‘“The University seems to revolve totally around the undergraduate campus.”’ Adds Daniel R. Collopy, ’81L, treasurer of the S.B.A.: ‘“We sometimes get the feeling that we’re being treated as second-class citizens.”’ Samuel L. Flax, ’81L, a third-year law student, observes: ‘“Many law students feel that since they pay the same tuition as undergraduates, they should be entitled to the same University services. Most law students really don’t realize that if this were an autonomous body of 350 students [in the law school] they wouldn’t have these support services in the first place.”’ Aside from these general complaints, there is the special situation arising from the presence of women law students on a campus with an all-male undergraduate population. Malinda E. Dunn, ’81L, a third-year law student and law representative to the University Council, speaks to that question when she says that ‘‘the University was really lacking in support services for the women law students until recently. There are still special problems that women have here that I’m not sure anyone recognizes.”’ There is also the matter of the structure of several campus-wide governance committees. The University Council, the official intermediary between the students and the faculty and administration, is composed of 27 members. Only three of those 27 are from the law school. The Student Body Executive Committee, which is responsible for administration of the Honor System and the supervision of all campus student activities, is composed of 12 members and includes a designation for only two law representatives. Although it is theoretically possible to have five, it has never been more than three in recent years. Law representatives are not consciously excluded from either the University Council or the Executive Committee—or from any other group, for that matter. But the law school is unlikely to get a significantly strong voice in student affairs. Some student body leaders point out that law students are represented as much as they want to be. Robert H. Willis Jr., ’81, a senior and president of the student body, says: ‘“When the effort for better communication is made, it seems to be made only by the undergraduate side. And law students often say they don’t ‘With the addition of women, the law school becomes more and more a socially distinct and self-sufficient community.’’ Lewis H. LaRue, ’59 Professor of Law ‘“, . . the greater competition for satisfactory grades and good recommendations has increased the professional competition among law students. Now law students simply have to work a lot harder.’’ Robert E. R. Huntley, ’50, ’57L President of the University and Professor of Law i have enough representation, but every law student who applied to a student body committee this year was accepted.”’ The Student Bar Association, the law school student organization, regularly receives approximately 86 percent of the student activity fees that law students pay for their non- classroom activities. The remainder is used for general student body functions, both undergraduate and law. Some law students feel the S.B.A. should receive more; some undergraduates think it should receive less. ‘*There are many people who advocate giving the S.B.A. all of their student activity fees and letting them do with it as they please,’’ says Eric T. Myers, ’82, a junior and president- elect of the student body. ‘‘But that would probably make the division between the two groups even more pronounced. ’’ Adds Willis: ‘‘We understand the differences in the needs of law students, and we give them more freedom on spending than we do with any other campus organization.’’ Perhaps the greatest issue in the division between the two schools involves the Honor System. It is not a new problem. Richard A. Denny, a 1952 graduate and president of the Washington and Lee Alumni Association, addresses that issue when he says that ‘‘the chief concern of many alumni regarding the division is with the Honor System.’ And Flax, who is president of the University’s chapter of Omicron Delta Kappa national honorary society, puts the Situation in perspective: *‘There is a basic resentment among law students regarding the Honor System. Many feel that, . considering the composition of the Executive Committee, they would not be judged by their peers in an honor hearing. But I don’t think that most law students recognize the intangible assets the honor system provides: free access to the stacks in the law library, 24-hour access to the law school in general, being able to leave your books in a carrel without fear of having them disappear.”’ Adds Sara A.
