't“unacceptable" I By James Lake Associate Editor Washington and Lee's chapter of Phi Delta Theta has hired a house mother and has been put on probation after the chapter's house was left “just generally trashed" at the end of May, according to - Associate Dean of Students Leroy r “Buddy” Atkins. In an Aug. 22 letter to chapter President Warren Holland, Atkins said the probation, which will continue at least until Jan. 29, 1990, limits the number of Phi Delt pledges to 15. The probation also bans week- - night parties and limits the Phi Delts to only four parties per month and only two per month in the Phi Delt house. 1 Also, the house grade—point average must rise at least one place per term in the rankings of fraternities, and the chapter me.-‘t ' “develop -and implement an ongoing service project to benefit the community, the college or the Greek system," Atkins wrote. Finally, “the chapter must improve its relationship and cooperation with other Greek organizations on campus and substantially improve its reputation,” the letter said. In an interview Tuesday, Atkins said the 1988-89 academic year was «the second straight that ended with Phi Delt house in condition and in .,\jolation of W&L's Standards for ' , fraternities. ”. ,_ _ house's _ . included 4‘ ea. :0 A‘ § Q-.1 § -$%_¢ He said this spring's damage broken ceiling fans, removed or partially removed light fixtures, broken windows and kicked- in doors. Also, he said beer cans and other trash were left throughout the upper floors. University Proctor Charles "Murph" Murray said he entered the house on June 1 and discovered that nearly all the windows on the second and third floors had been broken. ‘ “Clearly there is an attitude that ‘exists in the house that this is the thing to do," Atkins told The Ring- gum Phi Tuesday. “We must make it .«,,‘glear that this is not the thing to do, aliiat this is forbidden."

Atkins said, “after viewing the condition in ' which the chapter house was left following final exams, there is no question that a substantial number of brothers lacks the minimal respect for property and particularly for the chapter house which is required by the Standards." ‘ Atkins said the probation is “intended to be a stern reminder" of the importance of compliance with the Standards and “to serve as a guideline for the rapid solution of chapter problems.” He said that, if the conditions are not met, W&L “will withdraw its recognition of the chapter." While Holland said he understands Atkins’ position, he said some aspects of the probation — particularly the limit on the number of pledges — were “a little unfair." He said representatives of his fraternity met with Atkins Wednesday and asked him to rescind some aspects of the probation, but he said those appeals failed. "A few bad people have done the damage," Holland said. “I don't think anybody in this house now had anything to do with that.” Holland said he thinks most of the damage to the house was caused by some of last year's Phi Delt seniors on the mgnt of May 29, the 0 Please see PHI DELT page 4 1-.. 4..-p..v:-u '-i»vv- '-- -w--- J . a rising senior at Washington’ and Lee, was shot and killed on June 21 by his mentally ill brother, who was killed the following day in a police shoot- nosed as a schizophrenic. police records show. tation of Eben's m . en troubles. in father. in lg lg t cHnry resign; Daly reassi By Jay Plotkln Sports Editor Over the summer, several major changes were made in the Washington and Lee athletic department. In unrelated moves, athletic director William McHenry resigned from his post and head lacrosse coach Dennis Daly was reassigned to a new position within the department. McHenry, who also serves as the head of the physical education department, held the position of athletic director at W&L from 1971 to 1989. His resignation went into effect on July 1 of this year. Said W&L president John Wilson, "Bill's wonderful, outgoing personality and admirable values have given great strength to the work of our university. I am confident that Bill's experience and character will lead to a stronger department of physical education and a revitalized intramural program." McHenry, a Swarthmore, Pa. native, received his bachelor of science degree from W&L in 1954 ware County, in downstate New York.

Police arrived at Murphy's Pond, a tion near the family hunting cabin, at 12:15 At about 1:30, Eben appeared from hiding, still armed with a shotgun. During the following three hours, Eben talked with his father's law partner about his will and police officers attempted to talk Eben into surrendering. At about 4 p.m., Eben began to finger the trigger of the shotgun, and the 13 police officers on location took positions ranging from 70 to 450 feet away. approximately [McDowell] was holding the shotgun above his head. He was observed to put his finger on the trigger, for the first time. and his master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1961. McHenry started his coaching career at Pennsylvania Military College, where he coached football, swimming and track and also served as director of the intramural program. In 1958, McHenry moved on to Williams College, where he served as lacrosse and football coach. His next stop was in Lebanon Valley, Pa., in 1961. He was named director of athletics and chairman of the department of physical education at Lebanon Valley College. In 1971, McHenry‘, came to Washington and Lee, where he held the same jobs. From 1973-77,- McHenry served as, head football coach, during which tiriie he guided the Generals to a 12- 36-2 record. In 1977, McHenry resigned as football coach in order to concentrate fully on his administrative duties. McHenry has long been active in the affairs of the NCAA. He has served on many NCAA committees, including his current position of chairman of the NCAA Division 1]] football committee. He was recently Young resigns; will coach again By Brian Root Staff Reporter William Grafton Young, an assis- tant director of admissions and the coordinator of minority recruitment at W&L, resigned his position Wednes- day to be an assistant basketball coach at Eastern Tennessee State University. "I've grown very attached to Washington and Lee since I came here," said Young. “However, this is a unique opportunity for me to get back into coaching, and I'm anxious to get started." Associate Director of Admissions Julia Kozak said,“We're obviously very sorry to lose Grafton. He's done an absolutely tremendous job for us in the admissions office, and we'll certainly miss him, no question about that." Young came to W&L in 1985 as an assisstant to Generals Head Bas- ketball Coach Verne Canfield, and joined the admissions office two years later. Since Young was placed in charge of’ minority recruitment in 1987, the number of applications from minority students has risen greatly, said-Kozak. “This last year alone, there was a 23 percent increase in the number of applications from minority students," Young said. “I think that indicates a lot of the old attitudes about minority students are slowly going away." However, Young said, there is still a lot of animosity toward minor- ity students on campus. "The fact is, when I'm talking with a minority prospective student, I have to be honest and tell him that there are still some places where he won't be accepted," said Young. "Old habits die hard, but I think at- titudes here will eventually change." “When people see a black, or asian face on campus, they automatically think this kid must have gotten a break (from the admissions office), but our goal has never been to sacri- fice the quality of the student body just to have more minority represen- ties Fair Wednesday afternoon on the Front Lawn.

The Board of Trustees granted McHenry a one-year leave, and he will return in the fall of 1990 to resume his duties as head of the physical education department. An eight-member committee of university officials has been appointed to name a replacement for McHenry as athletic director. The committee is headed by William Watt, head of the chemistry department. The other members are Larry Boetsch, Associate Dean of the College; Barry Machado, chairman of the athletic committee; Cinda Rankin, assistant athletic director; Gary Fallon, head football coach; Tom Jones, head athletic trainer; Richard Miller, associate director of athletics and physical education; and William Hartog, director of admissions. Miller and Hartog have input into the interviews but do not vote on a candidate. Miller will serve as interim athletic director until a replacement is named. Grafton Young tation," Young said. According to Kozak, the school plans to hire an interim replacement to serve out the rest of the year, and then begin a "nationwide talent search" for a full-tirne replacement in January. The school has already offered the interim job to an as yet unnamed individual, said Kozak. loca- 4:20 p.m., He then began lowering the gun to his shoulder," says an official police summary of Eben's actions the day after the murders took place. Then Eben fired a single shot in the direction of an attending deputy. The shot fell short, and police returned fire. Eben was hit by two bullets and “imme- diately went down,” said a county official. He was later pronounced dead on the scene. Police believe Eben's final confrontation with the police was probably a planned sui- cide. Eben neither opened fire on the police while still under cover, nor did he attempt to take cover during the three hours of ne- gotiations that followed. The police’ killing of Eben was pro- nounced “in all respects proper and justifi- able." Lexington to collect student tax Many may be able to avoid paying By Pat Lopes Associate Editor According to This fall, the city of Lexington will, for the first time, begin collecting personal property tax on cars owned by Washington and Lee Virginia Military students, but students whose cars are taxed elsewhere may avoid the tax altogether. Lexington Mayor H.E. “Buddy" Derrick, the taxing of student cars is not the result of any action by Lexington City Council. Instead, Baker will be enforcing state tax laws. "We're not out to say, ‘ah ha, we're out to jump on these students and tax these students,"’ said Derrick. “The law states that they should pay." According to section 58.1 of the Virginia code, a municipality can tax motor vehicles “normally garaged or parked" within city limits. However, the same statute also insures that car owners cannot be taxed twice. The statute states that the Said Miller, “We have started interviewing prospective candidates, and we expect that the interviews will last into early October." A replacement will be named as soon as possible, added Miller. On Aug. 30, the university announced that Daly was being reassigned.He had been the coach of the Generals since 1984, when he arrived from successful tenures at Amherst and Middlebury. In his six seasons with the Generals, Daly's teams posted a record of 30-49. His best season was in 1987, when the Generals made it to the NCAA Division III final four, posting an 11- 4 mark. When asked about the reassignment, Daly said,“l have no comment at this time." Daly will remain at W&L as an assistant professor of physical education and an assistant football coach. According to Miller, the fall lacrosse season has been cancelled, “because we don't want to waste any of the practice days allowed by D Please see TAX page 3 gned the NCAA. I feel that it would be a waste of practices to go through the fall with one coach and then have to make the players adjust to a new coach and new philosophies in the spring." To make up for not playing a fall schedule, the starting date for spring practice, which normally is February 1, will be moved up. Until a new coach is named, assistant coach Jim McKeon will serve as interim head coach, handling all of the lacrosse tearn’s off-season business, including a meeting with all returning and incoming lacrosse players to explain the situation. A new head coach will not be named until after an athletic director 1S chosen. Wilson firmly stated, however, that, because the university currently needs to fill two positions in the department, one person will not fill both slots. The athletic director will be named, and then he will go through the process of naming a new lacrosse coach, Wilson said. Reward offered by Scarboroughs By Greg Euston Editor The parents of Mary Ashley Scar- borough have offered a $5,000 re- ward for any information leading to the conviction of the driver responsi- ble for the hit-and-rim accident that left their daughter dead March 16. Since the reward offer was made public in late July, Lexington Police have received about a dozen phone calls, mostly from western Virginia, but as far away as California. So far, none of the leads have panned out, Lexington Police Chief Bruce Beard said Tuesday. According to Beard, most callers have seen cars that fit the general description of the vehicle assumed to be involved in the accident. Police are looking for a 1987 metallic blue Honda Accord, possibly with front- end or windshield damage. The car is also missing its horn cover — the only piece of debris, aside from flecks of blue paint, found at the scene. Scarborough, then a W&L fresh- man, was killed while walking along East Washington Street, near the po- lice station. She was 19 years old. After the accident, Lexington Po- lice began looking for the blue Hon- da. Beard said he notified Honda of- ficials and asked that any part orders for this area be flagged for further investigation. “The university is working close- ly with the Lexington Police Depart- ment. in this matter," said Brian Snaw Director of University Com- niunications. Reward posters are be- ing distributed to newspapers and colleges in western Virginia through Shaw's office. Copies of the reward poster were sent to police chiefs throughout the state, Shaw added. Officials have asked that anyone with information about Scarborough's death contact Beard at the Lexington Police Department, 300 East Wash- ington Street, Lexington, Virginia, 24450.

That fact most of us have accepted. But deaths among college—age students are always a little more unexpected and little more surprising. And in a student population of 1,500, a death affects everyone because our college atmosphere allows a certain intimacy between students, even between students who are not friends. After a few years here most of the names and faces are familiar to everyone. However, death is also news. Hard news. Cold news. And death is big news. Especially in a student body of 1,500. I was shocked when I first heard of the death of Dan McDowell, for Dan was more than a familiar face to me. When I learned of the tragedy this summer, I did not at first consider it a news item for THE RING- TUM PHI. I think that I immediately closed over the news and tried to absorb it. I even asked the person who notified me about Dan’s death not to tell me any of the details surrounding the murders. My own way of dealing with death is to blot out images, soften hard facts. I knew who, but I didn’t care about with what, when, where or why. It is with this attitude intact that a fellow Ring-tum Phi staffer, in talking about our plans for the first issue of the Phi, mentioned that, of course, the story about Dan’s death would be the lead story on page one. I recoiled. That had never occurred to me, for Dan’s go on an inside news page, or maybe we could run it “below the fold” on the front page, or maybe we didn’t have to run it at all, since the murder had not taken place when school was in session. Of course, after thinking about it, I realized that Dan’s and his farnily’s deaths are a big news event and V they would have to run on the front page. Everyone is talking about it. In our journalism classes we learn to look at news by asking, “What is the most important item? What has the most impact on the readers?” In our simulated reporting classes, death is always in the first paragraph by asking, “What is the most important item? What In our simulated of the story if it is a part of the story...or you get an F for bad news judgement. But I didn’t learn in my journalism classes how to successfully remove my emotion from the manner in which I handle the news around me. I didn’t learn where to run a story’ about the horrible event murder of a friend. I didn’t learn how to report the facts without feeling like I was sensationalizing the matter. I can only hope that I have learned now, and that our decision to run the story of Dan’s death on page one will be accepted by his close friends. I have been pulled from my shell and I have been forced to stare all details of his murder in the face. I have also seen the media handle this story in excrucitaing detail, down to gruesome facts that left searing images in my mind. I searched for the middle ground, and hope that I will be considered neither less of a journalist nor less of a humanitarian for the way I chose to handle this story. I knew the name behind the face. I knew the guy who loved to ski and spoke French with a beautiful accent. I wish’ only that the news could somehow portray who he was, and not Dan only as the victim of a horrible crime. —- SLM Ours and Yours The Ring-tum Phi, as the student voice of Washing- ton and Lee University, feels an obligation to publish each and every student-opinion piece it receives, and we encourage students and other members of the W&L community to submit letters or “My Views.” However, we reserve the right to edit any and all submissions for reasons of taste, libel, clarity or length.

I reacted by saying that I thought the story could The Ring-tum Phi, September 7, 1989 Honor and what it means MY VIEW By Todd Peppers I am now entering my fourth year at Washington and Lee. During the last thirty-six months I have grappled with some troubling inconsistencies in our Honor System. I want to start by saying that the Honor System is one of the unique aspects of our in- stitution. When I tell campus visi- tors about our community of trust, they express amazement over unlock- ed dorm rooms and unsupervised ex- ams. The Honor System is one of the things I cherish most about iwashington and Lee. Yet paradoxi- cally, it is also the one subject which Icauses the most confusion and sad- .ness for me. I am not the only person at Washington and Lee who has watched fellow students be banned , permanently for honor offenses. Al- though saddened by the loss of ac- quaintances and friends, I understand their actions led to the painful out- come. My confusion arises when other students, whom I perceive as committing greater acts of dishonor- able behavior, are allowed to return to Washington, and Lee to graduate. I am not using the Honor System to call their behavior dishonorable. It is my own set of moral values that la- bel their actions as dishonorable. Allow me to expand my thoughts. The “White Book," the “bible" of the W&L Honor System, says “the freedom given to students stems from the understanding that persons attending this university will act honorably." Washington and Lee stu- dents have defined honorable actions as those that do not involve lying, cheating or stealing. The White Book adds “the Honor System is based on the ftmdamental principle that a spirit of trust pervades all as- pects of student life." The two key words are HONOR and TRUST. We trust our fellow students in the sense that they will not commit these three acts. But are we defining “honor" too tightly? It seems at Washington and Lee we have become hypnotized by the words “lie, cheat or steal." We are blinded by the fact that hon- or can stretch beyond these three words. I propose that our narrow definition of honor is critically weak- ening the Honor System. I accept the‘premise that lying, cheating V and stealing; are dishonorable acts and should be punished by per- manent expulsion. However, we need to go one step further. Let's put aside the Honor System for one moment and consider the following question: Using your own set of personal values, not what the Honor System tells us, which would you a candy bar from Kroger, or, 2) sell- ing drugs in our community? Both actions break existing laws. And the two actions can lead to punishment. My set of values indicates that sell- ing drugs is a greater evil than steal- ing candy. I also believe society agrees with my viewpoint by assign- ing drug dealers harsher penalties than those assigned to shoplifters. Do you agree? Now we need to place the two crimes within the parameters of our Honor System. Cannot one make the legitimate claim that the students of Washington and Lee consider shop- lifting a greater crime than dealing drugs? If a Washington and Lee student is found guilty in an Honor Trial of stealing a candy bar, then the only punishment is permanent expulsion from the school- Washington and Lee student is con- victed in a court of selling drugs, and serves the entire sentence, then he or she can retum to our school. Stop and ask yourself: do you believe it is fair to expel the shoplift- er and allow the drug dealer to return? If a A dangerous and incorrect conclu- sion can be made from my line of reasoning. I am not trying to prove that any actions which break laws of the state are dishonorable. Speeding tickets and jaywalking are not suffi- cient reasons for removing a student from school. My conclusion is we have an Honor System at Washington and Lee that, as a piece of machinery, functions quite well. Every student is well versed on the procedures gov- erning honor trials, the rights of the accused and the punishment for the guilty. Those are the cogs of our mechanism. Yet, for the machinery to work, a definition of honor must be provided. The definition that the student body is using— by focusing on lying, cheating and stealing - has critically weakened the Honor System's original intentions. Read the White Book carefully. It states, “Although honorable con- duct cannot be codified, lying, cheat- ing and stealing are clear examples of breaches of the Honor System. The system applies to any conduct considered dishonorable by the stu- dent generation involved." The key phrase is "ANY CON- DUCT CONSIDERED DISHONOR- ABLE BY THE STUDENT GENER- ATION INVOLVED." [caps mine] I used the selling of drugs for an example of conduct we might label as dishonorable. We shouldn't stop there. I suggest our “student genera- tion" start asking themselves some key questions: is date rape a dishon- orable act? Are deliberate actions that cause bodily harm dishonorable? And what of selling illegal sub- stances? qr drunk driving that re- sults in the death of another? The goal of my paper is not to whip the student body into a frenzy. My point is not to suggest that un- derage drinking is an honor offense - — there are much greater issues to consider. I call upon this "student generation" to take a close look at the definition of honor on our cam- pus. Can we be proud of the evolu- tion of the honorable “Washington and Lee gentlemen?" We often evoke the ghost of Robert E.

S Family travels THE SBAR SIDE By Jon Sbar Back somewhere in history, after the earth was formed from planetary jello-fragments and before geologists began eating their laboratory samples for lunch, a newspaper man named Frank devel- oped the Golden Rule of Journalism: “If you want to avoid getting poisoned or stabbed in your sleep never write critical stories about your rela- tives unless they're dead or too far away to harm you physically.” Since all of my relatives are currently in other states and countries, I feel safe enough to begin discussing a recent family trip to Africa. But be- fore we get to Africa (literally,_ if you're having hallucinations like mine) let me share some start- ling family history. Descended from Jewish Russians, I am the only son in a family of six; I have three sisters - Tami, Karyn and Shannon. Tami, the oldest one, is married to a Southern Baptist from Florida. Karyn, the second oldest, was married this past summer, to_ a moslem from Morocco who has a French Catholic mother. Shannon, my twin, is currently single although I expect she will soon armounce her engagement to a Native American Indian with Buddhist grandpar- ents.

Now that readers are fully up to date on my strange family situation, I can get to my Afri- can trip. After surviving a grueling American wedding in May, my family traveled to Morocco in North Africa for a Moroccan ceremony in late July. My brother-in-law, Kareem “Abdul—Jabaar” Tahiri is from Casablanca, so naturally our Moroccan expe- rience began there. Although the word “Casa- blanca" tends to evoke romantic images involving the horrnone-laden actor Humphrey Bogart, a more accurate representation would involve me, weak firm jet lag and chronic diarrhea, sitting in a restaurant that is hotter than a sauna, trying to find something on a menu that does not involve eating sheep brains. Like most stupid tourists in foreign countries, my family spent a great deal of time traveling great distances to look at camels, palaces and other arbitrary objects which look impressive in post cards but inevitably turn out to be excruciat- ingly boring. Also, no matter where we went (even if it was in the middle of the Sahara), a horde of fully mobile merchants, speaking broken English, were always at our side. These walking thrift shops would follow us around for hours 3 lies (U3 £.W) wuar A cAtAHITY.’ this what he imagined when he spoke of his one simple rule? Africa insisting we buy useless trinkets\. And because I wanted nothing more then to be left alone by ' these parasitic entrepreneurs, I bought every trin- ket in sight. Trinkets I brought all the way across the Atlantic in carry on luggage to store in the back of the garage until my Mom forces me at gun point to take them to the Salvation Army. Compounding the problem of the t:rinket-wield- ing mobile merchants was my immediate family which carmot go more than five minutes without experiencing some type of intra-farnily distur- bance. Though these disturbances norrnally come * in the form of verbal arguments or temper tan-_ trums, at one point, the family broke up into teams and had a bench clearing brawl. A major cause of family tension is that between my three sisters and Mother, at any given moment. one of them is afflicted with PMS. PMS, which literally means "Periodic Mental Sickness," is a psycho- logical state of mind occurring monthly in fe- males. It is generally characterized by anti-social behavior, violent mood swings, and sudden trips to the drug store.

That ‘locality may be in Virginia or in another state. Local residents pay the city $5.50 for every $100 of the assessed value of their car, a rate that City Manager Joe King said may also be applied to cars driven by local students. In the past Lexington‘s city council has overlooked strict application of this code to W&L and VMI students, but budget constraints are forcing the council to increase its tax base, said Derrick. The mayor pointed out that 60 percent of the property in Lexington is non-taxable, and that most of that property is owned by W&L and VMI. “It seems unfair to continue to raise taxes on 40 percent of the property," said Derrick. “Students that are here for nine months are citizens for nine months," he continued. He said that, since students utilize roads, the police and other city services offered to citizens. students virtually are citizens. Accordingly, Derrick said students should help support the services they utilize. But King emphasized that the provision barring double taxation does have some stipulations. First, only payment of a personal property tax at home, not any other sort of tax related to ownership of a car, will exempt students from taxation in Lexington, he said. Second, he said students must pay the city the difference if the car tax paid in their hometown is less that the car tax levied in Lexington.

Lexington Commissioner of Revenue Courtney Baker will work with the W&L administration this fall to inform students that all cars must be registered with the city and to track down students who fail to comply. “State law requires that people register," said King. “But if the commissioner is aware of unregistered property, he can still assess and tax that property. “We’re hoping that everyone will come forward," he continued. “If they don't, I'm sure the council will say we want this code to be followed to the law." Derrick and King both said students who fail to register their cars will be breaking existing Virginia law. —- W&L sophomore James Pike contributed to this story. Dean John to take year off, , then resume full class load By Lee Fleming Staff Reporter Lewis John, who has served as dean of students at Washington and Lee since 1969, will resign from that position at the end of this academic year. John. who also serves as a professor of politics, will take a one year sabbatical during the 1990-91 year before rejoining the faculty in the university’s School of Commerce, Economics and Politics. A 1958 graduate of W&L, John said there was no single reason behind his decision. “A number of long-range plans have come to an end, ” he said. “It just seemed like a good time." University President John D. Wilson said John had “been talking about it for a number of years.” Wilson said a university search committee, chaired by Director of Admissions William M. Hartog III, will conduct “a national search" for a new dean of students. The committee will also include three students, he said. John earned a master's degree from Princeton University and a doctorate from Syracuse University. His professional career began at Washington and Lee served as assistant dean of students and director of financial aid. He is a former president of Student in 1963, when he Association of and was the the Virginia Administrators In 1985, he was awarded the fifth annual William l Webb Pusey III award by the W & L student body's “outstanding i Executive Committee for dedication to the university.” i —W recipient of that 5 organization's Outstanding Professional Award in 1983. \ ,5 Personnel 9... -«_ service and Although he has eagerly anticipates the challenge. T By Scott Richardson Staff Reporter In an effort to ease the burden of nish on freshmen. the Interfraternity Council has reduced the number of open houses from 12 to nine, council president Kevin Nash said Monday. Freshmen will sign up Sunday for the nine houses of their choice, but a computer program will randomly se- lect the order in which rushees attend the open houses. The first four rush dates will be handled in a similar fashion, with the computer matching rushees’ preference cards to each fra- ternities’ preference lists. “The IFC decided to have no more than nine open houses because people were skipping the last three," Nash said. Rushees must attend at least six open houses and a minimum of five rush dates. Bids may be ex- tended at the fifth rush date. Associate Dean of Students for Greek Affairs, Leroy C. “Buddy" Atkins said he hopes the random or- dering will alleviate some of the pressure on freshmen to make defini- tive first and second choices. “It hurt the freshmen when they signed up for a later nish date and not the first or second." he said. Not knowing the fraternities try to gauge a freshman's interest and pre- ference by how high he places a house's msh date, often times rushees get left out in the cold, he said. “It's embarassing for a freshman to be left standing ‘in a house expect- ing a bid, and not getting one while IFC restructures rush they are being given out all around him," Nash said. “There have not been any prob- lerns since everyone‘: been back," he said. “We've made it crystal clear that we expect everyone to abide by the rides. No house is go- ing to get away with repeated viola- tions this year." To build a better working relationship between the fraternities. the IFC held a casual meeting Mon- day to allow all of the house presi- dents to becorrie acquainted and to reinforce adherence to rush guide- lines, Nash said. “It would be the death penalty for a fraternity to lose rush pn've- leges. No one wants to see their life- blood disappear, but it could be an altemative," Nash said. ' Bio major interns with DOE From News Releases Washington and Lee senior Delia Faytli Truett was\ one of 80 students to take part in the U.S. Department of Energy's Student Research Participation program this surrirner. The program is operated by Oak Ridge Associ- ated Universities‘ SciencelEngineering Education Divi- sion. Truett, a biology major from Friendsville, Tenn.. conducted her research at Oak Ridge National Labora- tory. During her 10-week appointment in the Chemical Technology Division, Truett studied enzymological pro- cessing of lignocellulosic substrates. “Part of DOE's mission is to encourage student interest in technical and scientific research and develop- ment," Dr. Richard Wiesehuegel, program director said. “The SRP program is an important vehicle for doing that. The program lets us attract capable students in science, math, computer science and engineering to meet current and future labor market demands," Wiesehuegel said, “and this becomes crucial when projections iridi- cated fewer students are choosing academic programs in science and engineering." On a day-to-day basis students such as Truett con- duct research on state-of-the—art equipment using ad- vanced energy technologies under the guidance of DOE and DOE laboratory staff. but it's the real-world work environment that makes the impact. Comments from students include statements such as “gained a better view of the inner workings of groups and group dynam- ics; ' "more aware of the importance of innovation. d°di°fili0n. and Pl’id¢;" “gained an extensive knowledge of project -management policies and procedures;" and "the most interesting aspect of the SRP research experi- ence‘has been simply observing the steps involved in carrying out the research in general." The effects of the program are best summed up by former students, Wiesehuegel said. “We have had more than 2,000 participants since 1958. and statistics indicate that 54 percent of former SRP participants work today in research--mne percent of them in a federal government facility," Wiesehuegel said. “Students still tell us the program gives me some ideas as to what areas to ex- plore in graduate school. and of course, this is part of DOE's mission." 1 _ _T_he SRP program is open to graduate and upper division undergraduate students majoring in engineering, physical and life sciences. mathematics, computer science or the social sciences. Applications outnumber appoint- ments by about four to one, making competition strong among candidates who possess the potential for success- ful scientific careers.

TALKBACK What did you think of the The return management groups. of the wooden nickel By Cary Baber Staff Reporter Three years ago the W&L Food Service created point cards as an alternative to the 20—meal plan. The following year the Co-op began ac- cepting points and business skyrock- eted. Originally, one could pay for an “odd" purchase, such as $1.45, only by having one and a half points taken off or by having one and a quarter points taken off and paying 20 cents out of pocket. Last year “as a service to the students," said the University Food Service Director Gerald Darrell, the Co-op added “five cents a.ltema- tives,“ ranging from bubble gum to lollipops to peppermint patties, as another option to maximize the effi- ciency of the point card system. And now, the W&L Food Service has added a fourth option--tlre wooden nickel. The idea of a token to be used in the Co-op and the GHQ belongs to Rick Armstrong, manager of the Co- op. The W&L Food Service had the reusable tokens made at a cost of ' “one or two cents, a negligible a- mount,” said Darrell, “to keep up with students‘ requests.” Another new addition to the Food Service will be Washington and Lee insulated travel mugs. During the month of August, the Food Service used approximately 800 styrofoam cups each day. Because styrofoain is not biodegradable, many other universities have converted to paper cups. The W&L Food Service has decided to respond to this envi- ronmental issue, while at the same time reducing drink prices, by selling a reusable cup. The cups will be on sale in front of the Co-op tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for $2.50, bev- erage included. Beginning Monday, the mugs will be sold for $2.50 without beverage. Refills. excluding milk, orange juice. and alcoholic beverages, will cost 50 cents for as long as one owns the mug. The mugs are self-service and strictly non-transferrable. Wooden nickels and insulated travel mugs are signs that the W&L Food Service has it's eye on the fu- ture. And, the nickels are the next step towards a “cashless society," a‘ concept centering around a debit card that can be used for purchases in the co-op. bookstore, GHQ, Dining Hall and serve as an ID card for the li- brary and certain other university functions.

W3 By Brian Root Staff Reporter The number of burglaries of cars and residences of W&L students is expected to be unusually high this weekend as fraternity rush gets underway this weekend, said Lexington Police Chief Bruce Beard at the Interfratemity Council meeting Tuesday night. “We're going to see a big increase in the number of larcenies this weekend," said Beard. “They (the burglaries) usually happen during parties, especially when so many houses are throwing parties at once." “Please encourage all members of the student body to remove all of their valuables from their cars and to lock their apartments," Beard said. "Also, please make sure that students Underage risks By Brian Root Staff Reporter A new law enacted by the Vir- ginia State Legislature this summer enables the courts to suspend the dri- vers license of anyone convicted of tmderage possession of alcohol, As- sociate Dean of Students Leroy “Buddy" Atkins said at the Inter- fraternity Council meeting Tuesday night. If a person under the age of 16 is convicted of underage possession of alcohol, the court can prevent him from obtaining his license for six months, said Atkins. If the person is PHI DELT from page 1 Hcense visiting from other schools do the same." Beard said the police offer to conduct, upon request, a “safety inspection" of any house or apartment to determine its vulnerability to a potential burglar. “These inspections will help you keep your things safe and they'll help us prevent these kinds of crimes," Beard said. Beard also outlined the new. tougher amplified sound regulations. Now if a fraternity receives a noise violation,a citation from the police for illegally loud noise, the house will not be given a permit for such loud noise for one week. in addition to whatever penalties are levied by either the courts or the IFC. “We're going to be very fair and consistent about how we enforce this drinking loss between 16 and 21, he can have his license suspended for six months. “I don't know to what extent this law will be enforced," said Atkins. “But you probably shouldn’t prance down the middle of the road with your 12-pack under your arm." Atkins stressed that such new laws compel fraternities to reevaluate‘ their policies for distributing alcohol at parties.“If we get only one thing accomplished this year, let's make sure you (fraternities) understand that you just can't give out alcohol to people at parties," Atkins said. “You just can't afford to be in the beer business anymore." day of spring term exams ended, but he also said “We're really not exactly sure who did it." Nevertheless, under the terms of the probation, Atkins said that, by Oct. 1, the chapter “must identify the members responsible for the vandalism of the house. take appropriate internal disciplinary measures against them and assist the house corporation in completing necessary repairs." On Wednesday, the living room and entrance hall at the Phi Delt house had already been repainted, and Holland said painting and re- carpeting upstairs would also soon be completed. He said he was confident his fraternity would make the Oct. 1 deadline for repairs. Atkins said the deadline for compliance with the university’s Standards is the beginning of spring term, when “there will be a hearing to determine the chapter’s future at Washington and Lee." But Atkins said that, “under conditions of unusual progress” and with the approval of the Phi Delt house corporation. the hearing may be held as soon as Jan. 29. Holland said he's confident his fraternity will be ready to for a hearing at that time. Chapter advisor Joseph Goldsten, who is also on the board of Phi Delt's house corporation, agreed with Atkins that conditions at the house at the end of the 1989-90 were “unacceptable.“ But he said the decision to hire a house mother is not punitive action and called that move “a positive approach." “We want to make survival and growth under the Renaissance work," he said, referring to W&L's Fraternity Renaissance, the program to restore the school's fraternity houses that led to the adoption of the Standards. Under the Renaissance program. all houses which are renovated by the university will have to hire a resident manager, Goldsten pointed out. And he predicted that most houses will hire house mothers to fill that role. “The sooner we get in line the better,” he said. Mata McGuire, a former restaurant owner who was the house mother at W&L's chapter of Zeta Beta Tau for six years, was hired by the Phi Delt house corporation over the summer. Goldsten said she, in addition to living in the house, will attend all house activities. But, he said, she will not be a chaperon; for example, she may choose to attend only part of a party at the house, he said. Although she has only just begun her duties, McGuire said she doesn't see any problems. “I expected resentment," McGuire said, because of the circumstances under which she was hired. “But the boys seem very responsible. I haven't seen a bad apple in the bunch." Atkins emphasized that the probation Phi Delt is under is not the result of any action by the Interfratemity Council. He said Tuesday that it is possible that the IFC will also take action against Phi Delt, but Holland, who is a member of the IFC’s Judicial Board, Wednesday told the Phi that the IFC will not take any action against his fraternity.

Although noise permits extend until midnight, Beard said, an officer has the option to close the party down before then if he considers the party to be “out of control." “The only problem I leave with that is the possibility that a house could be cleared of a noise violation in court, would the house still not be able to receive a noise permit?" asked IFC Vice—I-‘resident Hunt Neidringhaus. “Most of the time court cases aren't even heard for two or three weeks,” replied Beard. “So I think we'll have to abide by this internally, regardless of what the court's decision was."

The Generals responded ‘by finishing the season 5-3-1, tied for third in the confer- ence. The Generals ended the season with a foungzime winning streak. The 1939 Generals will be hard pressed to prove that last year's performance was no fluke. The will need healthy contributions from the 35 returning lctterwinners from last year's squad to improve on last year's record. Head coach Gary Fallon is excited about what this year's team is capable of doing. And for good reason. Offensively, both starting quarterback Philip Sampson and backup Chris Srnythe, senior roommates, are back to guide the Generals again. Sampson started in the Ge- nerals’ two-quarterback system and completed 55 percent of his passes for over 1,000 yards. Smythe, primarily a scrambler, completed an outrageous 77 percent of his passes (27-35). Back are junior tailback Mason Pope and senior full- back Russell Crosby, a two-year starter. They were last year's top two rushers. Pope took the ball into the end zone five times. Although both are experienced, they will shoulder almost all of the Generals _ground work. "We don't have a lot of depth in the backfield as far as experience is concerned,"said Fallon. “We’ll work Kirk Sohonage at both fullback and tailback this year.” When Sampson and Smythe throw the ball this season, they will be throwing to an experienced, deep group of [fleet-footed receivers. On one side, juniors Craig Irons and Chris Acebal will share the split end spot. Irons led the team in receptions and receiving yards last year. On the other side will be junior speedster Carl Gilbert, an Senior Scott dackson runs in the open field. The Gener- als open their season Saturday at Emery and Henry.

Joining thorn will be senior all—ODAC tight end Bob Martin. Backing Martin up will be sophomore Brian Polo ready despite losses From W&L Sports Information There are two ways to look at dire straits. It can either be the end of your world, or, especially if you're Washington and Lee water polo coach, it can be the start of a new one. With what Remillard is facing for the upcoming season, he easily could be preparing his samurai sword. Gone are the team's top three offensive threats from the last two years. Departed seniors Dave Dietz, Dave Reavy and Moose Herring — all three of whom were all-conference first- team selections in '88 - accounted for 134 of the Generals’ 178 goals last year. Reavy and Dietz also were named All—Americans for the second year in a row. That, however, is the past. And while the loss of 75 percent of your offense in one fell swoop might seem like a good reason for an exit stage left, Remillard is happy right where his team is. “Whenever you have large losses from graduation, you have mixed feelings," he said. “Sure, you're losing some talent, but it's also exciting opportunity for some underclassmen to move into bigger roles. “I'm very excited about our recruits and the people we have coming back. I think this group is going to surprise people with how quickly they blend into that higher level. There will be no superstars. We will have to rely on each player to reach all of his potential." While the losses might lead people to believe the Generals will field a team of relative no- names for 1989, nothing could be further from the truth. The strength, most certainly, will be defense. Senior David Olson, arguably one of the top three or four goalies in the East last year, is back again as W&L‘s final line of defense. Playing primarily in the deep end, Olson made 77 saves last year. The Generals also will benefit from some developing young talent that now will have to come to the fore. Sophomore Alan Herrick showed signs of becoming one of W&L‘s best- ever defensive players last year, and Remillard is expecting him to ‘l. county at. .

Dittman, who led the Generals to a fifth-place finish in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference last year, said she was pleasantly surprised by last year's results and is ready for new challenges this year. True, W&L will sorely miss the services of departed seniors Vanessa Hartman (All-ODAC), co-captain Melissa Thrasher and triple threat Amy Smith. But the returnees could more than make up for the departures. Leading the way is two- year team MVP Lisa Jay, a junior who controls the W&L attack.

Dittman said the team will need “This is an important year for to get the most out of its bench, too. our program," Remillard said. Players like seniors Debbie Grove, “This year we can legitimize Beth Anne Lamb and junior Kliainla Dhouti will be called on to make key contributions. The difference between last year's group and this year's, said Dittrnari, is experience. Even with the players. Our keys will be Olson. in goal, and Herrick in the pool.” The Generals will need to find some goal—scorers, though. Only five players who actually scored a goal last year return to this year's team. Of the returnees, Smith and Davis could be the most promising future scorers. Smith was a high school All- American in water polo, while Davis was a three-year lettennan in water polo at California's Sunny Hills High School. Some needed punch should come from the incoming recruits, as well, Remillard said. W&L as an East Coast contender.

Gilbert will also handle the kick—off returns. In his freshman year, Gilbert.retumed a kick-off 95 yards for a touchdown against Randolph-Macon. The offensive line is where the Generals were hardest hit by graduation. Said Fallon, “We graduated four people on the offensive line who played a lot of foot- ball. Mike Magoline and Mike Holiefield alternated at left guard. At right guard, Julian Philips (All-ODAC) is gone, and at right tackle, David Surface (All-ODAC) is gone as well. We have to find replacements for them. "We'll probably be bigger on the offensive line this year, but I'm not sure we've got the seasoning that we had last year." Juniors Rob Christensen and Frank Sudell will anchor the line this season. They should receive help from sophomores Jim Henry and Rob Thomas, juniors Rob Robertson and Mike DeMelfi and senior Rich Poli. Defensively, despite the loss of two All-Americans, the Generals look strong. Last season W&L gave up just over two touchdowns a game. All-Americans Jim John- son (DT) and Tom Skeen (LB, P), bolstered the defense. Skeen is second in interceptions on W&L‘s career list. He led the team in tackles for three years. Also gone is LB-DT Hughes Melton. Melton had seven tackles for losses last season, third on the team. But don't fret for the Generals yet. Back is the entire starting secondary, including all—ODAC selections Bland Warren and Bobby Rimmer, both senior comerbacks. Joining them will be junior safeties Clark “Boomer" Wight and Brad Miller. The entire secondary from last year was in the top ten in tackles. Wight was second on the team in interceptions last season. Two freshmen should also see time in the secondary this year, Juarez Newsome at strong safety and Don Dempsey at free safety. The defensive line will be anchored by tackles Dave Radulovic and Scott Silverman, who led all returning linemen in tackles last year. Also back to shore up the defense is stand-out linebacker Mike Pack, who was second on the team in tackles. Said Fallon, “We won't be very big on the defensive ,.. said her 1989 club already should have more volleyball experience than any other team she's had. “Our offensive system has been put in," Dittman said. “We won't have to spend so much time trying to figure out who goes where. We certainly have the potential to be better than we've been. The players we have coming in to the team are even better players than we've had in the past, and they're all definitely more experienced." The healthy stock on hand has Dittman ready for some tangible improvement. The Generals finished fifth in the ODAC regular season, but injuries during the ODAC Tournament made getting to the semifinals a near impossibility. This year, Dittman would like to see her team work its way into the top four in the conference. "It will be very challenging to try to finish third," she said. “The conference is getting more and more strong coaches that will make for more and more strong teams. But we definitely want to move up one or two places in the standings. I think the character of the W&L student, pcong year : line, but we'll have the quickest ends I've seen in my twelve years here." Occupying one end will be John McCal1um, a sopho— '7 more. At the other end will be junior Caner Quayle. Backing them up will be converted defensive back Scott Williamson. “We're’not overly big on our line,_but we are real _ heavy on hustle and effort and attitude," said Fallon. Aiding Pack at linebacker will be sophomore Trey Cox, who, according to Fallon, has shown signs -of _ becoming a strong linebacker. Another returning weapon the Generals will be looking forward to utilizing is junior placekicker Carter Quayle. Quayle, a junior, earned All-America status last season by connecting on 10 of 12 field goals and scoring a team-high 44 points. However, Quayle will have to deal with a new rule. This season, kickers are not allowed to use tees on field goals and extra points. . Another new rule that will come into play this year deals with penalties on the defense _on plays where the offense scores a touchdown. In the past. the touchdown would count and the penalty be assessed on the kickoff. Now the offense has the option to enforce the penalty on , the extra point, moving the ball half to distance to th goal or enforce it on the kickoff. The new rule coupl with the no-tee rule could induce an increase in th number of two—point conversions attempted by team around the country. Fallon says his team is ready for this season's opener at Emory and Henry. Said Fallon, "We try to take it I, one game at a time. We want to block out all the other distractions and just concentrate on our opponent. Our‘ main objective right now is to beat this Emery and Henry squad, and I believe we have a good doing it." 1 / Fallon, the 1988 ODAC Coach-of-the—Year, is begin- A ning his 12th year at the helm of the Generals. He is the schools all-tirne winningest football coach. During his; tenure, the Generals have claimed two ODAC champion- ships and have had winning seasons in seven of the last ’ nine seasons.

While the Generals may still be a year away from threatening ODAC powers Bridgewater and Eastern Mennonite, Dittman believes the foundation is very nearly in place. And that foundation could be the cornerstone for another winning season in '89.

We've had so much growth so far. I'm really excited about our potential. I think our ‘skill level could be another level above last year." The reason for such excitement is the return of 13 lettermen, along with a promising group of freshmen. Back are defensive standouts Sarah Allen, Beth Stutzmarm and Nancy Mitchell. Both Allen, a senior. and Mitchell, a sophomore, were All—ODAC selections, and Mitchell, W&L‘s Female Freshman Athlete-of-the-Year last year, was a first-team All-ODAC selection, a first-time honor for a W&L women's soccer player. “Once again we should be strong defensively," Hathom said. “My coaching philosophy is to emphasize defense, and we have some very strong players there again."

She made 169 saves last year and allowed just 2.75 goals per game. The forward line also should be strong for the coming season. The Generals return six of their top seven scorers from the 1988 season, including senior Catherine Baillio. W&L‘s leading‘ scorer each of the last two seasons. Sophomore Ashley Gray, the second—leading scorer for the Generals last fall, and senior Joelle Jackson, a co-captain along with Allen, should bolster W&L‘s offensive attack. Hathom said the area of concern will be midfield. Only two proven performers, sophomore letterwinner Morgan Warner and junior reserve Paige Kilian, are back for 1989. Warner, who started 15 of 16 games last season, was third on the team in scoring last season, while Kilian saw action in 14 games in 1988. With the defensive and offensive strengths already on reserve, Hathom knows the 1989 season could be another turning point for the young W&L women's soccer program. In 1987. W&L‘s first year of play in the ODAC, the Generals went 2-8-3. Last year, the Generals were a game shy of .500, recording a 7-9 record and finishing fourth in the ODAC regular season. The Generals were edged by Sweet Briar in the first round of the ODAC Tournament, but the remarkable turnaround earned Hathom ODAC Coach of the Year honors. 8: CRAFT SUPPLIES 463-3355 “-eta N CONTINUES Room Mlles & Sand N e - ro rletors JV?"/‘J/J‘/./J€/}..7..'fl‘J‘/fl.‘/'./'Jb'.5V'.o<‘AV.‘o€P ashington & Lee P mak Improving will be made even more difficult by a challenging 1989 schedule. There will be nary a rest stop throughout the 17-game regular- season slate. “Our schedule is going to be really tough,“ Hathom said. “There will be no game that's going to be easy. There should be some games we should be able to win, and there will be some games where we will have to work hard just to get into a position to win. But I think this group is up for that challenge. They're very excited and gung-ho. They’re ready for that level of competition. ' ' Making the future look even brighter is a promising group of freshman. Twelve first-year players are looking to make contributions right away, and Hathom says some will have a chance to do just that. The Generals also will need some leadership, and Hathom is confident in her returning veterans, especially captains Jackson and Allen, to supply the guidance her team of 21 underclassmen will need. And where the Generals could be is the upper echelon of the ODAC. Hathom is willing to be patient, but she can't dampen her enthusiasm for the 1989 campaign. “We're going to have more of a shot this year," she said. “We could end up surprising some of the upper echelon teams. I'd like to shoot for the top three in the conference. That would be nice. But we have a lot of the finer details to work on. It's a lot of pressure in a way, but pressure makes diamonds, doesn't it?" From W&L Sports Information Heavy casualties due to graduation, a murderous schedule, and the prospect of an expanded and soccer-strengthened Old Dominion Athletic Conference await head coach Rolf Piranian and his Washington and Lee men's soccer team in 1989. Piranian, who enters his 14th season as the W&L soccer boss, is not crying the blues, however. He likes his players, and with a few breaks along the way, he also likes their chances at making a run for the conference title. The potential for Piranian is to shed tears of dismay. Gone arefive senior starters, including co-captain and All-ODAC back Sid Udicious, co-captain Mike Veliuona and leading scorer Johnny Sarber. The five departures took with them 20 years of collegiate soccer experience and 18 varsity letters. But it's all water under the bridge for Piranian. With a schedule that includes some of the top-ranked teams in the nation and a brutal conference slate, there's no time to worry about the past. The 16-date schedule is dotted with traditional regional strongmen like Guilford, Mary Washington and North Carolina Wesleyan, in addition to an early- season weekend two-fer in Baltimore against Johns Hopkins and Camegie- Mellon. Six seniors should figure prominently in the W&L fortunes in 1989, and leading that group is two- year starter Patrick Brown, who holds the W&L all—time record for assists and was the Generals‘ leading scorer in 1987.

And an average team is not going to get the job done in the ODAC. The conference expands to seven teams with the addition of, former Division H power Randolph—Macon and perennial regional power Virginia Wesleyan. To sweeten the conference pot, the ODAC will be conducting a post-season tournament in men's soccer for the first time this year. The top four league teams in the regular season will compete for the championship on the final weekend in October.

As a freshman last season, midfielder David Hooker had three goals and one assist in 13 games, and he is expected to strengthen the midfield along with sophomore letterrnan David De Falco. Up front, the Generals should get support from junior David Gilmore, who had two goals and two assists in eight games last season before being sidelined with injuries, and sophomore lettermen Bobby Weisgerber and Chris Miyamoto. In addition to Caggiano and Eckman, the W&L defense should be bolstered by two lettermen, junior Duke Dillard and sophomore John Miller.

Paradise, located at 16 N. Main St., opened its gates to Lexington on Aug.29 as a gift shop specializing in metaphysical merchandise. All the items in the store, including a variety of crystals, incense, New Age music and books on personal growth and development, are intended to be spiritually uplifting. However, Paula Weiss, who owns the store with her husband Steve Martin, said the store isn't purely a metaphysical shop. Paradise also features a selection of cards, stuffed toys, jewelry. candles, and clothing. “Basically it’s just a fun gift shop, but undemeath that is a lot of love and a lot of spiritual presence," said Weiss. Weiss, who with Martin directed a center for well—beir1g in Pennsylvania before coming to Lexington, said she was told a store like Paradise would not be successful with the largely conservative student population at Washington and Lee. “I think today‘s students, including the Washington and Lee students I've observed. are unique and individual and want to be accepted as individuals and to do their own thing," she said. “They're exploring and they're very alive. That's my perception and that’s one of the reasons I decided to go ahead with the store." ' Weiss said she also believes there , is a strong undercurrent of interest in spiritual matters in the Rockbridge area. “Everywhere you go there are normal people — and I'm not talking spaced out California people — but normal housewives (who are interested)" she said. Weiss said so far her gamble has paid off. Business has been “far beyond" her expectations and she said people from “every level of community here" are showing interest in the store. “There's something for everyone, that’s how we wanted to make it." Above, Weiss shows J.Scott Fowler how to get the most bell for his buck. At right, one feature at Paradise includes a peaceful seating area centered around a heavily toliaged water fountain. The area is open to anyone who ventures in. Staff photos by Cary Baber. RESERVE OFFICERS’ she said. "the merchandise in Paradise comes from all over the world so certain items are truly one of a kind, said Weiss. She said she buys for the store by trying to “look through the eyes of the students and tourists" and is also open to suggestions from customers about what they would like to see. Weiss said she also tries to keep most of the items in an affordable price range. “You don’t want a store that people are only able to come in and look at like a museum. You want them to come in, have fun and know they can have anything in the store,” she said. Paradise is also a place where people can go “just to be in the space," said Weiss. ‘Customers are invited to relax in a seating area centered around a fountain and exotic plants. “I'm interested in something different, something that’s exotic," she said. “People have told me it’s, not Lexington, and I said, ‘No, it’s Paradise, and it’s meant to be something different."’ Paradise is open Monday through Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m..
