Staff Reporter This weekend over 800 families are expected to attend the thirty-fifth annual Parents’ Weekend at Washington and Lee. Parents’ Weekend, which is coordinated by the Development Office, will feature ’ several activities designed to familiarize the entire family with the Washington and Lee community. Lex McMillan, an alumnus and W&L’s Director of Development, said, “It’s very who have relation to W&L have an oppor- tunity to become acquainted with the peo- ple who live and work here.” President John Wilson and his wife Ann will hold a reception at Lee House for freshman and their parents from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Friday. This reception will provide an opportunity for students and parents to meet the Wilsons and to tour the historic Lee House, where Robert E. Lee and his farrlily lived during his presidency. Also on Friday, there will be a Choral Ensembles and University Wind Ensemble concert in Lee Chapel. The concert for ances by the University Chorus, the Glee Club, the Women’s Chorus, Southem Com- fort and JubiLee. Lindsay DeHaven, a ju- nior and member of the University Chorus, the Women’s Chorus, and JubiLee.said she is looking forward to the concert. “It’s always one of the best perform- ances because the parents are so supportive and enthusiastic,” she said. On Saturday at 11:30 a.m., Wilson will deliver his “Report to Parents" in Lee Chapel. Wilson will discuss the state of Washington and Lee and inform parents of the progress in the administration. Follow- els composed of an administrator, a faculty member and a student available to answer any questions parents might have about Washington and Lee. On Saturday and Sunday, the University Theatre will feature its season opener, “The Body Shop.” This musical comedy, written by Washington and Lee drama Prof. Tolri Ziegler, will be at 3 and 8 p.m. in the University Theatre, located on the comer of Henry and Main streets. Junior Karen Meyers, stage manager for “The Body Shop,” says the play is “fun for the whole family." W&L’s annual Parents’ Weekend to begin tomorrow W&L students, $6 for adults and $4 for other students and senior citizens. Those wishing to attend are advised to call ahead, as some shows may already be sold out. For most students, it is not the various activities which make Parents’ Weekend special, but it is the parents. Many students have not seen their parents in eight weeks and are looking forward to this family re- union. Matt Moberg, a freshman from San Francisco, is especially excited about see- ing his family. “I want to hear all the details of the earthquake.

It includes $25,000 for entertainment, $15,000 for souvenirs and $17,250 for decorations. The total revenues are based on projected sales of 1,300 tickets at $40 each, 2,200 T-shirts for $9 each, 4,500 cups sold at the price of two for $1, and 1,300 posters at $3 each.

The IFC Judicial Board voted to give $1,200 to the Spectator. This is the first time the IFC has given money to a campus publication. “It is the IFC’s responsibility to contribute to different avenues of communication,” said IFC Vice President Hunt Neidringhaus. The Spectator published its first issue of the school year last week. Last year, the magazine did not receive funding from the Washing- ton and Lee Publications Board. The magazine, in the opinion of the Publications Board, was a “duplica— tion of efforts,” meaning that exist- ing publications already fufilled needs the Spectator planned to ad- dress. Paul Lagarde, editor of the Spec- tator, said the magazine would not be under any sort of control from the IFC as a result of the funding. Lagarde said although he and the magazine's publisher, Ray Welder, plan to petition the Publications Board for money this year, he does not expect the request to be granted. The IFC also granted $13,000 to Contact, a student-run organization which brings speakers to W&L each year. Last week, the IFC delayed vot- ing on the budget request pending a presentation from Contact to the whole IFC, including representatives from each fraternity. Contact's entire budget totals $31,000, according to Contact Co- Chairman Thomas Sheehan, the oth- er $18,000 having been given by the Executive Committee. “We would like to start holding receptions for each speaker in frater- nity houses this year,” said Shee- han. “I think that would help frater- nities with their relations with peo- ple outside the W&L community.” Sheehan said Contact would wel- come more suggestions from frater- nity members as to what speakers should be invited. Fraternities have previously paid $10 for each member to Contact. Under the new arrangement, each house would pay $12 for each member, and the IFC would make up the difference. The IFC also decided to help the SAB pay for at least one, and pos- sibly two, concerts this year. According to Applcbaumi the "IFC agreed to make up whatever losses the SAB might incur for both concerts, as long as the losses did not exceed $5,000, so that the SAB would show no loss. Finally, the IFC gave $1,350 to the Health Education committee for the promotion of Alcohol Awareness Week. The IFC paid for the sound system at the Battle of the Bands last Friday at the student pavilion. “I heard the event went really well out at the pavilion,” IFC Presi- dent Kevin Nash said.” wt‘ — OCR::/Vol_089/WLURG39_RTP_19891026/WLURG39_RTP_19891026_002.2.txt OPINION The Ring-tum Phi, October 26, 1989 The Se|f—Study is a stilted study Something very important happened last week, and many Washington and Lee students didn’t even know it. With a loud thud, a two-volume, 440-page monstrosity fell in the laps of W&L’s trustees. Its name is the Washington and Lee Long Range Plan, more commonly known as the Self-Study. The study was tagged by its authors as a comprehensive look at our college; it is said to include opinions from faculty and students. But, with all due respect to the study’s authors, we hope the trustees went in with shovels drawn. While the study does contain some good ideas, most of it seems devoid of fiscal realism and student input. We realize that the purpose of a self-study is to come up with a list of needs, and perhaps it is appropriate that the authors were concerned more with what they would like W&L to have than with what W&L should pay to get. But we hope the trustees realize that this list must be pared down. Far too many of its suggestions are justified by statements like this one dealing with residence life programs: “Compared to other colleges, we are greatly understaffed and underfinanced.” That other schools spend money for something is hardly a reason we should also. There is throughout the document an undercurrent of animosity toward the importance of fraternities at today's W&L, none-too-subtly veiled as an effort to build class unity. For example, the study labels as “essential” the moving of fraternity rush to the winter. And, in an attempt to provide places other than fraternity houses where students may gather, the study calls for the building of a new student center. That » building would include not only a new Co—op, which we do need, but also vast lounge areas, which we don’t. Even though W&L’s sororities, the prime users of Fairfax Lounge, seem well on their way to building lodges of their own, and even though Gaines Hall and the University Center provide ample space for other campus groups, the study’s authors would like to see another Fairfax, or another Arlington Women’s Center. Given that the use of these places by sororities will end as soon as lodges go up, we would be hard-pressed to find two more under-used facilities on campus; now the self-study says we need a third. This idea and others indicate the study’s authors do not understand that W&L is a university, not a small college. The “W&L community” is in fact a collection of many intersecting communities composed of students from across the nation and around the world, most from different frater- nities and sororities, with many different interests and from many different backgrounds. To deny this is to deny the very nature of Washington and Lee. Getting back to the bucks, it seems the authors included every idea they considered “good,” regardless of costs. Among other things, the study suggests adding six employees to the staff of the Dean of Students; expanding services designated for minority students; creating a committee to track women’s needs; renovating virtually every building on i campus; and hiring new professors from’-oneeend of the’ campus to Zthe other. These may sound “like neai ta?-,;.s,‘"‘%m; they will cost‘ an awful lot of time, and money. To be fair to the study’s authors, they did consider where this money will come from. And, as you might guess, they didn’t suggest cuts in their salaries as an option. To quote from the study, “Our students deserve the best. Their families are, with certain exceptions, able to pay for it.” That’s right. the answer to the funding question is higher tuition. The study goes to great pains to justify an increase by comparing W&L’s tuition to the tuition charged by “institutions we select as comparable.” And guess what? The average comes out to be higher than W&L’s tuition. The study is generous; it suggests that W&L charge only 85 percent of that average. But, since the present rate is 73 percent, W&L could gouge its parents for a hefty increase and still keep tuition well below the average for “compara- ble” institutions. Why hang on to that “Best Buy” ranking when we can build a new Fairfax Lounge instead? We encourage all W&L students to sift through this docu- ment; a copy is at the University Library’s main desk. No doubt you will find some of its ideas worth supporting. But we also predict you will find things you dislike, particularly if you're concerned about how they are paid for. And we urge the trustees to refuse to accept this pipe- dream as gospel. Seek student opinions before you spend a dime. Realize that, while some students may have had something to do with this document in its infancy, any student contributions have gone through quite a filter. In sum, while there are good ideas in the Self-Study, there are also bad ones. We hope W&L’s trustees will get first- hand help from students in trying to see the difference.

'1 \ ' MY VIEW By Taylor Sanders EDITOR'S NOTE: At a memorial service marking the 119th anniversary of the death of Gen. Robert E. Lee, Washington and Lee history Prof. Taylor Sanders spoke on Lee and his legacy. The words that follow are adapted from that address. On this page last week, I discussed the ethics of Lee and how they guided his policies as president of Washington College. Remember that the general was a Evangelical Christian and a Victorian gentleman. Unlike members of the South's “Bowie Knife and pistol gentry,” Lee had his own more gentle social and ethical code, based on self—denia1 and self-control. In applying that code to his —+ \-vqvf U'Vq1'\.vV"'\Y ” \‘ \\-\\k\ A; L” students, Lee would place relation- ships over rules, values above ab- stractions, and community over codes. The other person rather than any abstraction forged the iron core of Lee’s approach. For example, a professor once told the General that a decision regarding a student would upset precedent and that precedent must be preserved. Lee answered that when it comes to yotmg people one should respect the person more than the precedent. We can find evidence of this in Lee’s great decision — the one Douglas Southall Freeman said “Lee was born to make” — to resign his commission in the Union army. In the abstract, Lee believed that slavery was both a “moral and a political evil” as damaging to the whites who practiced it as to the blacks who suffered under it. As an episcopalian Evangelical, he prayed that a heightened moral atmosphere in America would lead to eventual , , t V ‘./,’r‘. " /I ./I - development, -/ ./ 5'" AT] / v AND ANoTH£R .

Lee’s“ abolition — a common southern view among evangelical Christians. As a life-long soldier who admired Washington and the generation of the American Revolution, Lee was a firm Union man who in principle believed that Secession was fundamentally wrong. Had Lee’s decision been based merely on a knee jerk devotion to duty, then we could imagine Lee serving under Lincoln and commanding the Union armies. Given what we know about Lee, his system of ethics and his belief that a student’s moral and spiritual development was even more crucial than a young man's intellectual what can we learn from Lee today? Lee believed that the use or abuse of power shows an individual in his or her truest light, how can we best apply those old South “values and traditions” for which the general stood? Is all, or indeed, is any part of the Lee legacy; legacy pertinent for today? . " Some years back I had a long conversation with an alurrmus who’ was living in Charlottesville. Wei, mused about why Thomas Jefferson seems so alive at UVa, yet Lee’s'£ legacy at times seems so moribund 9 in Lexington. We decided that Jefferson’s legacy was primarily‘) intellectual — an eighteenth century enlightemnent spirit, searching, 7 questioning probing — a legacy that _ could thrive on any modern campus. The Lee legacy was primarily“ spiritual and moral —- nineteenth century, high Victorian morals at that. If the question is essentially « one of morals and mores, then we. can trace the decline, if not the collapse, of essential aspects of the Lee legacy back to the 1920s, at‘ least. The last of Lee’s old faculty had been dead for two decades and, his “boys” were rapidly; passing from the scene.

LI must say this spot is comparable to purgatory for a number of reasons besides the tempera- ture: laundry, in itself, is a chore and a night- mare to every college student, but my grief is compounded by the fact that the change ma- chine is never functioning. From the very be- ginning of this school year (literally, I mean the first day my feet touched W&L soil on Sept. 1), this ever-so-important machine, vital to the cleanliness of appearance to so many students, has been “out of order.” I would like to propose a new laundry system that would be much more effective, even though it would be slightly expensive to change from the old system of using quarters. In the long run, however, the benefits would be enormous. (I honestly think that our school can afford a new system and owes it to its students, especially since we were ranked as the number one best buy in a liberal arts edu- cation in the Oct. 16 issue of U.S. News and World Report.) I think our coin-operated laun- dry machines should be converted to charge card machines. A similar process has already been installed in the library with the copying machines. Instead of relying on quarters, stu- dents would be able to insert a magnetic-strip card with a designated amount of charges into the laundry machines. Just think, you could charge this home too! This process would eli- minate the headaches of the change machine, stop people from using the post office’s stamp machine for change, and relieve the bookstore workers from furnishing students change for laundry. Hopefully someone important will hear and understand my plea before my laundry piles up too high! Buried in bundles, Kimberly Allison, '92 Women only? Ordinarily, I am not one to jump up on the soap box, but an advertisement in your Oct. 12 issue forced my hand. The ad is for a discus- sion of “the feminine images of God" with the unusual title, “Our Mother Who Art In Heaven." The discussion is open to all wom- en students, faculty, and staff of the W&L community. My Wednesday nights are booked; I doubt I would go if I were invited, but that the lead- ers of this organization feel privileged to ex- clude half of the W&L community from their controversial meeting counters many principles this decade has tried to instill. Since women's groups have led that battle, it seems particular- ly hypocritical that the leaders of this particular LETTERS group would sponsor a weekly women’s—only event. Maybe the attendees of this event don’t share the exclusive bent of the organizers, but to the latter I say, “Ladies, you seem to want to have your cake and eat it, too.” It just doesn’t work that way. While women and mi- norities are fighting to eliminate discriminatory behavior, what would motivate some in that group to practice it on their own? Editor, as manager of an enlightened cam- pus newspaper, I believe you, too, bear some of the responsibility for the content of the advertisements you accept. If you would re- consider running an ad for an organization whose practices offended public policy, perhaps you want to reconsider also the tacit approval you have given this group. There’s a big war in Richmond about wom- en in VMI, among other issues. If a group of women don't want to practice non-discrimina- tion themselves, they demean the efforts of women throughout the nation. Sincerely, James T. Feezell, Law ’92 EDITOR'S NOTE.‘ The appearance of an ad in The Ring-tum Phi in no way indicates an endorsement of the group or individual pur- chasing the ad by the Phi’s editors. Student offers campaign tips EDITOR’S NOTE.‘ This letter was submitted to The Ring-tum Phi staff before last Thurs- day's runoff elections. If I could offer any bit of advice to per- spective candidates running for election at W&L, it would be: AVOID USING PERSON- AL PRONOUNSl In the past election for freshman class president, my poster read: “Why Vote for Him...When You Can Vote for Kim." Now, I realize that I really should have said, “Why Vote for Him/Her/The Other Can- didaw (and. by the way, the ‘Him’ just hap- pens to rhyme with my name, mind you) When You Can Vote for Kim.” That would have been very ettective. If one really wanted to ignore the fact that another woman was running, that “Him" just happened to rhyme with my name, and that most people would understand that the pronoun stood for all other candidates (a quick point of English grammar: we use the third person pro- noun when referring to all mankind — men and women included); I suppose, not considering all of this, one could convince oneself that my rhyme had a malicious, conniving, feminist intent. It certainly makes it more interesting if I could be labeled a die-hard ultra feminist, doesn’t it? I'm sorry for the disappointment, but the reality isn‘t so exciting. I simply wanted a catchy rhyme to convey the idea that people should vote for me because I felt I was the best candidate.

Respectfully, { Lee Rorrer ’93 In response to John Ford's letter printed _in the previous Ring-tum Phi on the Homecoming Queen situation, I would like to say a few words on coeducation here at Washington and Lee. Every student presently on this campus made a commitment to W&L upon entrance to this school to support the school’s decision to make W&L a fully-coeducational school and the decision to have an eventual 50-50 male- female ratio. It is indeed fortunate that the ratio will continue to promote equality, for as the ratio evens out, the school will be able to ' be choosier in who it decides to accept. This will make W&L a better school, pushing it up to higher than 18th in the ranks. The special relationship between W&L and the surrounding girls’ schools should always exist, but the girls form these schools are not students at W&L and should not be thought of as such. They should not receive the privileges of students here, such as being chosen Home- coming Queen. Assuming your high school was coeducational, would your high school have chosen a Homecoming Queen from anoth- er high school? . They have every right and, I hope they continue, to be a part of the social life at W&L. They do no have more of a place on the campus than any student here at all. They represent an outdated tradition —— a stagnation in light of coeducation. If they wish to be considered as Homecoming Queen candidates, perhaps they should attempt to transfer. Elizabeth R.

Although President Henry ' Lewis Smith preached the old high minded values, most of the students - found them quaint and old—fashioned. They gave him a fair hearing, but then threw themselves into the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and the “fast" life. It’s interesting to note that many thoughtful southerriers during that period also feared the loss of the old positive Southern mores. C. Varm Woodward points out that the fear of becoming “indistinguishable” from the North and of being “submerged under a national steamroller” of materialistic, Yankee values haunted the mind of the South in the early thirties. W&L has been part of the L national trend. Lee built a community in the , midst of a collapsed civilization. He was surrounded by young men, 1 many of whom rankled under moral , restraints. They came from backgrounds marked by poverty, I defeat and despair, along with a collapsed secondary educational system, waning parental authority q_ and relaxed family control. Many were bitter’. Some were wild and 5 unrestrained. A few were “incurably . vicious.” In five years he turned the ‘way toward a new, kinder South, that unfortunately has never been totally realized. But he made a start. ' He did it by concentrating on one boy at a time. How can we re- capture this legacy? Every time a student helps a hapless freshman, comforts a grieving friend, cordially greets a ‘visitor on campus, or goes to ' church, he takes a step in the right direction. Every time a person with ‘ power uses it lovingly and responsi- J bly to assuage pain, humiliation and alienation, Lee's legacy shines ' brighter.

A new generation of relatively‘ THE SBAR SIDE By Jon Sbar Last year I celebrated Parent's Weekend by writing a strongly- worded article on the negative aspects of having a mother. Since then I have been beaten, bruised and boycotted by hostile, pocketbook-wielding middle-aged mothers all over the world. These women, who believe the sword is mightier than the word processor, think that strong-arm tactics can change my anti-mother article plans for Parents Weekend '89. So, without wasting another word, I reveal the obvious subject of this article -- my dad (this one’s for you, Mom). Yes, reader, it's time to put the spotlight on the enigmatic , Wardrobe The Ring-tum Phl, October 26, 1989 The man who spawned Jon Sbar man in the background. The natural place to begin this personality profile is, of course, in the closet. In Dad’s closet there are enough bell-bottom slacks, leather sandals and fat ties to revive the l960’s. Dad, who has the fashion instincts of horse dung, keeps these clothes in the closet because he does not know how that they went out of style two decades ago. Maybe, someday I’ll steal all of this stuff and open up a Hippie Factory Outlet. So, reader, the next time you find yourself laughing at something I'm wearing, keep in mind that good fashion sense is a hereditary disease. Leaving the closet, we move down the stairs into the family kitchen, a room where Dad spends a lot of time eating breakfast cereal out of giant salad bowls. If you ask someone about Dad, even someone who hardly knows him, they will undoubtedly laugh and reply:“You mean the guy who eats cereal out of a salad boWl?” Here’s exactly how he works: every morning about 7:30 Dad takes skim milk, three or four different kinds of healthy breakfast cereals (the granola kind that looks and tastes like twigs and din), two or three bananas, and mixes it into a huge salad bowl. He then proceeds to eat the concoction with an army-sized spoon that-could easily be used as a trench shovel. Next we turn to the inevitable subject of physical health. Unlike most men his age who keep busy working, watching television and waiting for grandchildren, Dad is a I fitness nut. His only vice is a strong addiction to animal television documentaries. However, Dad did not become health conscious with the trendy Crystal Lite “let's-go—on— a- diet" aerobics generation. He was ‘riding his bike to work back in the 1970s when everyone, including Jane Fonda, threw grapefruits at any adult who had the nerve to ride his bike in traffic. Judging from Dad’s healthy lifestyle, readers can imagine how he reacts to me when I roll out of bed after a late night and, at 11 a.m. with beer on my breath, head down stairs for a bowl of Cap’n Crunch and a day of idle television viewing. Sometimes for fun he wakes me up at 6 a.rri. to go ‘ jogging. He often asks me why I can’t be more like Brutus (the family dog) who is always ready to wake up for a rim. Unlike Mom who constantly sends me letters and cookies, Dad has only sent me one brief note since I’ve been at college. The note was scrawled on the bottom of a letter from Mom. Here is an excerpt: Dear Jon.‘ Sorry we keep missing each other on the phone. I had fun hiking with you this summer...l hope water polo is going well and you are using your mountain bike a lot...Today Brutus flushed a deer, a red-tailed hawk and a grouse while I was running on a hiking trail in the woods. See you soon, Dad Because I am still financially dependant on Dad, and hope to remain that way at least until middle age, I think it would be in my best interest to end this article at once. I hope all you mothers are satisfied. situation around and pointed the‘ The dawning of theAge of Aquarius? MY VIEW By J. Cameron Humphries I read recently that according to the New Age hippies, ours is the Age of Aquarius. To those scholars of the heavens, Aquarius ‘is the sign of love and hate. I remember Mother taught me, “never fall in love with an Aquarius for they will only break your heart.” This age we are in, however, means far more than love, hate, and motl1er’s ad- monition; Aquarius is also the sign of de- struction. I do not know just exactly how long we have been in the Age of Aquarius, the New Age is not too terribly specific here; but I cannot help but think it is an outgrowth of “the lost generation” and the wide scale disillusionment following the Great War. Herriingway and Eliot, among many others defined their generation as lost, hollow, and physically and emotionally impotent, making it unable to find meaning in existence. A quick reading of the day's news painfully reminds us that ours may not be a lost gen- eration, but we remain far from found. Al- though they were perhaps forerunners to this Age of Aquarius, their prophetic words echo far more truth of our society today, than they did when our grandparents read them some fifty years earlier. With today's prob- lems of drugs, sex, violence, teenage sui- cide, etc., in addition to being the lost gen- eration, we are also the troubled. Perhaps this is the Age of Aquarius; if so, why? I remember fondly my junior year in high school when I studied the beloved American philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emer- son. His irrirnortal mutation of the Socratic Code is perhaps more the root cause of the Age of Aquarius than Shirley McClaine and her glowing rocks. When he said, “To thine own self be true,” he sent America, much less Western civilization on a crash course for catastrophe. Later James and the other American Pragrnatists would extend this intellectual and philosophical blasphemy, but the Age of Aquarius begins with the radical thought that man, which already controls far too much in this world, could control truth. The effects upon man since the advent of this effrontery have most definitely caused an age of chaos, call it Aquarius if you please, and now on this crash course for If man determines truth, morality, or what have you, then Hitler was com- pletely iustified in his ac- tions. Why? He was being true to himself. destruction, we are left to wonder why. Yet, among all the many difficult ques- tions twentieth century man is faced with today, the answer to this question is simple: Man does not control truth, period. As long as man believes that he rriight control ulti- mate reality, he will remain disillusioned. It is much like a failing math student. The poor failing math student will continue to fail, causing whatever grief from parents and school, in addition to not understanding math, just as long as he insists upon his answer being correct. The failing math stu- dent does not create the correct answer; the faltering society does not determine truth. Something is not true ‘simple because it Ultimately something which is true will work because it is true, but merely because something seems to work does it constitute truth. One is easily reminded of such truths by Hitler. If man determines truth, morality, or what have you, then Hitler was completely . justified in his actions. Why? Because he was true to himself when he murdered six million people. Furthermore, the people of the world, you and me, should praise Hitler, not deride him, because he was more true to himself than any human ever known to walk on earth. However, the only “truth” which Hitler followed was that of destruction and Aquari- us. As long as man insists on determining his own truth and morality, man will pro- ceed to destroy himself. As long as man ‘ maintains that he is the ultimate being in the universe, he will continue to wage war against perfection and pursue the persecution of his own potential and of his soul. When I look at society today and their value of self above all else, I can’t help but agree with the New Age. “This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius...” By Merrill Watson works; truth is not determined by utility. Pro-choice: protecting women’s rights MY VIEW By Elizabeth Parkins and Pamela Patton “I think contraception is disgust- ing — people using each other for pleasure.” — Joseph Schneider, Di- rector, Pro-Life Action League I. Cameron Humphries’ extreme- ly murky “My View,” with its lim- ited comprehension of medical fact (classifying the fetus as an organ, and falsely clairriing that it struggles against abortion), its suspension of reality(mankind conquering death and achieving immortality) and its highly sophomoric tone, have no place in an intelligent discussion of the abortion issue. Dealing with the matter in such a callous manner does a great deal of disservice to "women who must struggle with the real problem of unwanted pregnan- cy. Furthermore, by comparing a woman’s right to abortion to Hit- ler’s “Final Solution,”Humphries is confusing a woman’s freedom to voluntarily choose an abortion with a totalitarian state’s forced genocide. Or is he ascribing to the fetus a “will to live” comparable to that of concentration-carnp victirris? We must assume so, since he does as- sert that the fetus struggles for life against an abortion. This notion is the featured mes- sage of the right-to-life film “Silent Scream,’ which was shown in Lex- ington recently. It’s a romantic no- tion, but it’s just not true. The New York Times answered the film's charges way back in March of 1985 by featuring five medical experts who discounted the theory that a l2—week—old fetus(91 percent of all abortions are performed within the first trimester) has sufficient nervous system development for any degree of consciousness, much less the ability to sense danger and react to It. To equate the life of a fetus with the lives of the victims of the world wars (and, as Humphries so precisely expresses it:“tlie war be- fore that one and so on and so on...") is an affront'to the worth, valor and dignity of those who suf- TALKBACK 1 Scott Hamilton, ‘90, Virginia V Beach - “I think he’d be of- " fended that people wear baseball , hats in the buildings.

We strongly support Mr. Hum- phries’ right to his anti-abortion stand.

Lee were to come back today, what would he think of the state of affairs at W&L?

We know that there are those who will never agree that a wo- man’s concerns are more important than the continued development of a fetus. But, if abortion is made ille- gal, and women are forced into un- safe, “back-alley” clinics, or are forced by the state to bear unwanted children, we will find that, to once more quote Humphries, “millions of souls are crying for justice, if we don’t answer them, who will?" Except this time the souls will be those of women — your class- mates, neighbors and sisters. How will you answer them? ‘90, New York say, ‘Where are Patsy Sclutto, City — “He’d the kegs'?”’ -..»- ‘w -~' T?‘ OCR::/Vol_089/WLURG39_RTP_19891026/WLURG39_RTP_19891026_004.2.txt x.-.r 1‘: ; ;' ‘ ;~r:v'.~'.\v~.‘-e':r'.«:.rt-revise t~ L"-“ ; .-2 -.-. ~ 1 ‘ '1 . _- .~,\V« ,- 7 Mobley said. -.. -. .. , .. . - posted good scores, while the nov- .-:.<'.-wva-t-.'.:-a-'.: e:-..\'v'.~:.:v'."..r1as'—.<‘s- L ‘J 1. ‘tag: -9 .i,.~., _- _ 4 '3. .¢‘.-1.v.e.¢is. .0.

Meredith Gronroos summed up her first experience by saying, “I had always wanted to try something like this. It was different than the Schwarzenegger films I've seen, but no less fun!” The shooting exercise was a part of the basic military science class, according to Capt. Ramon L.

He also used papers from the Danish Royal Family and from the Hohenzollems, the Royal Family of Prussia, to aid in his research. Cecil said he was prompted to write the book for several reasons. First, none of the popular biographies of Wilhelm II told him what he wanted to know. In addition, the more he read about Wilhelm, the more bizarre and curious Cecil felt his personality was, and the more interested he became in studying his personality. effective than his making it manda- tory. The dorm counselors, along with Dean Schorer-Lamont, previewed the video and felt that it presented the ideas that they wanted to get across to the freshmen, McMorrow said. “The video begins with a very visual scene of the aquaintance rape, but then becomes the story of what happens to the victim and the agres- sor after the event,” she said. One freshman male who was asked what the felt of the program said, “It seemed that the video put a guilt trip on the guys and the dis- Ceil to sign copies of latest book His research was most concerned with investigating what parts of his upbringing and lifework related to the book. Finally, the time of Wilhelm’s reign (1888-1918) is right in the midst of Cecil's period of specialty in the German Empire (1871-1918.) Wilhelm 1]: Prince and Emperor, 1859-1900, is the first of two volumes. The end of this book marks the ».half-way point in Wilhelm’s life and also marks a critical year in the history of the German Empire. Cecil said he completed the second volume. “I am a great believer in the value of biography,” Cecil said. “It seems to me that Wilhelm H's role in history is an important argument for biography. For example, one cannot understand Imperial Germany without first understanding the men who ruled her.” has already research for the cussion was mainly geared towards what the girl should do to avoid date rape.” Schorer-Lamont responded, “Un- til we analyze the freshman evalua- tions that were filled out, we will not know how they all felt about the program, but it is the case that the male physiology ultimately causes the rape, and there must be some degree of discussion about trlpw the female can try to prevent 1s.” According to Schroer-Lamont, students who have attended the pro- gram have become much more sen- sitive to the issue of date rape. i 618 in» ons 8.

Fresh- 1 an Andrea Cardamone scored the 1;; goal of the game during the . overtime period, and the Gener- scored a huge upset in a game that everyone was sure they would lose — everyone, apparently, but the Getierals. j“It was awesome,” said coach Jan Hathom. “The team was ready, and they went out to win.

Cardamone scored the only goal in W&L’s into the game. The final goal for the Generals was scored by Card- amone, off of a direct kick by soph- omore Ashley Hurt, with about twenty minutes remaining. The victory was especially grati- fying for the seniors, who have seen some very tough losses to Hollins in the past, and who, according to Hathom, “all played well.” Hath- om especially cited the play of Hurt, classmate Katie Seeman, and senior Catherine Baillio. “We played great as a team,” said Hathom. “It was an awesome, wonderful game.” Saturday the Generals traveled to Wheeling, W.Va., to take on Wheel- ing College, where they suffered a 4-0 loss.

Seldom do you see a game the caliber of a Notre Darne-USC or an Oklahoma-Nebraska or an Alabama-Aubum or a USC-UCLA clash early in the year. All these games are extremely physical and emotional with the outcome usually decided on the final possession. On Saturday, Washington and Lee and Bridgewater will tee the ball up to renew what has developed into a first rate-rivalry. Close, hard hitting games make for better rivalries, and last season’s W&L-Bridgewater clash not only fit the rivalry bill, it fit the bill and then some. Not only was the action on the field highly contested and intense, but the press box saw some heated moments, as did the locker room after the game. Bridgewater took a 10-7 lead with 1:21 left in the fourth quarter. W&L then went on perhaps its most impressive drive of the season. The drive started on the W&L 33 with 1:21 left, and quarterback Phillip Sampson threw the Generals down the field in impressive fashion. On the first play, Sampson hooked up with Craig Irons for 16 yards to midfield. After three straight incompletions, Sampson and the Generals were faced with a fourth and 10. Sampson found a diving Chris Acebal for 12 yards to keep the drive alive. A 23-yard strike to Carl Gilbert got the ball inside the Bridgewater 20, and another strike to Irons got the ball to the five. On first and goal, W&L wasted no time. Sampson went to his favorite target, and Irons came up with a diving catch in the end zone for a 14-10 W&L lead with just 32 seconds left. The game wasn't over. Head coach Gary Fallon recalled a game against Randolph-Macon a few years ago when his team scored a go- ahead touchdown with 32 seconds to go, and lost the game as R-MC drove down the field and scored with two seconds left to steal victory from the jaws of defeat, so to speak. With 32 seconds to go and W&L to kick off, Fallon's thoughts turned to that Macon game. When Carter Quayle's kick bounced off an Eagle return man and W&L recovered, Fallon let off a tremendous sigh. There would be no miracle comeback this time. The W&L comeback would not have been possible if not for the timely play of linebacker Tom Skeen. Skeen came up with two interceptions in the final period, one saving a touchdown in the end zone. In the press box, the W&L radio crew of Jim Lake, Hayward Lee and Mike Shady and Sports Information Director Mike Stachura were placed next to the Bridgewater school president, who turned out to be an avid and adamant Eagle supporter, often venting his emotion on the radio crew. The Bridgewater SID was put in an almost helpless position, as he could not tell his employer to “please tone it down a bit.” He apologized later for the president, not on his behalf. ‘That brings us to football season 1989. W&L comes into the game with a 4-3 record, Bridgewater is 34. But as in every other good rivalry, throw the records out the window - they don’t apply for now. Fallon has told his team that he expects a donnybrook. Bridgewater certainly hasn't forgotten last year’s game, and any W&L football player will tell you that last year’s win was the highlight of the season. The major thing I feel will decide the game. It is Parents’ Weekend at W&L. Under Fallon, the Generals are 8-3 on Parents’ Weekend. Prediction: In another hotly contested, physical contest, the parents will pull the Generals through.

On Saturday, W&L earned their first road win of the season with a 3-2 win over Washington College, after losing five away games and tying one. Saturday’s victory in Chester- town, Maryland, pushed the Gener- als’ record above the .500 mark for the first time this season since the 5-3 win over Deriison in W&L’s home opener. More importantly, Saturday's win proved to the Generals that they can be successful on the road. Their new-fourid success carried over into yesterday's game in Ashland, Vir- giriia. Randolph-Macon, 6-8-3 (1-3-2 in the ODAC), a former top-20 Divi- sion II power, joined the ODAC this season. The .Yellow Jackets were coming off of an impressive 2-1 win over Mary Washington, the top ranked team in the South.

With 7:15 remaining in the first half, Kyle Farming netted his first goal of the season on an unassisted shot to put W&L up 1-0. One ntinute lat- er, Mike Hill scored an unassisted goal to give the Generals a 2-0 lead, a margin that held for the rest of the match. Senior goalkeeper Jack Pringle registered his first shutout of the season (the 10th shutout of his ca- reer), arid collected 10 saves. Ran- dolph-Macon launched 20 shots at the goal, while W&L had 19 shots. On Saturday, Washington Col- lege had a 2-0 lead in the second half. Their first goal was sent past Pringle after a breakaway down the left side. In the second half, the Shoremen scored again when the W&L de- fense delivered a weak pass back to junior goalie Jon Bull. The ball was intercepted and Washington College scored on a two—on-one situation to take a 2-0 lead and apparently ex- tend W&L’s road woes. The Generals started to make their comeback from the two goal deficit when the Shoremen altered their play in the middle of the field. Give W&L’s midfield room to play and they will make things hap- pen. The Shoremen quickly learned as they watched their lead slowly melt away. The Generals started on the comeback trail when senior Rick Silva was tripped in the penalty box. Awarded a penalty shot, Silva sent the free kick straight into the middle of the net.

With about 20 minutes left in the match, the Washington College de- fense gave W&L’s cause a huge lift. Fanning was pressuring a defcnseman, who tried to pass the ball back to his keeper. The pass missed the keeper and rolled into the net with the keeper and senior Scott Levitt in pursuit. The rarity is known as an “own goal," and this one tied the game at 2-2. The Generals got the road mon- key off their backs with six minutes‘ left. Freshman Mike Mitchem sent a crossing pass from the left endline to Levitt, who sent a left-footed vol- ley into the back of the net. Levitt’s goal proved to be the garne-winner and snapped the Generals season- long road woes. In the first post-seasori ODAC tournament, W&L will play host to arch-rival Harnpden-Sydriey tomor- row at 3 p.m. on Liberty Hall Field, a.k.a. the Field of Doom. The Gen- erals are unbeaten playing on the Liberty Hall Field with a 5-0-1 mark, the lone non-win being the tie with Mary Washington. W&L de- feated H-SC earlier this season 2-0 on goals by senior Patrick Brown and sophomore Chris Miyarnoto. Lynchburg and Virginia Wesley- an will play at 1:00 Friday after- noon, before the W&L-H-SC clash. Lynchburg handed W&L their only conference loss during the year and Virginia Wesleyan played the Gen- erals to a tie. The winners will meet on Satur- day at 11:30 for the tournament championship. The winner of the tournament will receive an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III tour- nament. from page 6 - shifted the momentum a little bit." Barineau regained the lead for the Tigers on a tliree-yard run, but Renrieker and the defense held firm until Sampson could put the Generals into the end zone late in the game. Said Fallon, “I thought we had our best offensive line performance of the year. They were really getting after Sewanee‘s defensive people. ’ ' The offensive line of juniors Frank Sudell, Rob Christensen, Mike DeMelfi, and Rob Roberton and sophomores Jim Henry and Robert Thomas opened the way for Pope to gain over 100 yards for the second tirrie this season and allowed only one sack of Sampson.

The Generals received good news on the injury front after the Sewance game. Senior comerback Bland Warren, who has missed the last two games with a neck problem, is about 95 percent probable to play, said Fallon. Game time is set for 1:30 at Wilson Field.

Arkansas is a team I loaded with foreign players, and _ their superior skill level and strengili played a large part in the defeat. ,» However, Remillard was convinced that the international style of play allowed by the officiatirrg crew contributed to the outlandish final score. The physical style of play punished the Generals, wh rely on their superb team speed to win games. ; “It was the roughest game I've been involved in the last threb years," he said, adding that thg tighter the game was called, the closer the final score would my! been His greatest concern after thh tournament, though, was not Arkansas.

W&L ‘Weekly Calendar ¢. ‘Q’ spent the last few days utilizing our efficient ' library staff. They helped me pour over old newspaper clippings, out-dated alumni magazines and numerous books on ghosts. I consulted books on Southern ghosts, Virginia ghosts, and even Confederate ghosts. I talked with professors who together represent over 100 years of Wash- ington and Lee history. I even begged Captain Peniston to reveal any tales of specters in the basement of Lee Chapel. My search did not divulge one Washington and Lee horror story. It appears that we do not have a ghost on the campus. Yet my article is not a complete waste for I can tell you about phantoms that are alleged to haunt the surrounding city. Granted they are not W & L ghosts, but these ghouls still might pro- vide you with a little excitement come Hallow- een. My information comes from the book The Gentle Ghosts: Legends of the Historical Shenan- doah Valley. The book was written by one-time Lexington resident Anne McCorkle Knox. Let us first turn our attention to the cadets of the Virginia Military Institute. Washington and Lee is older than V.M.I, but those lucky guys Knox writes that a few cadets declare that they have heard mysterious noises in Jackson Memorial Hall. The Hall contains a large mural of the Battle of New Market. One night a cadet fell asleep in the Hall, and he was accidentally locked in the building. The cadet claims that the mural came to life — its figures began to move and the sounds of battle echoed in Jackson Me- morial Hall. The story is still well—known to cadets. Finally, Knox informs her readers that some say that the ghost of William M. Simpson, class of 1924, can be spotted on the V.M.I. parade grounds. Simpson was a sculptor, and there is a monument on the parade grounds that bears his art work. Knox writes that when darkness falls over the grounds, people claim that the ghost of Simpson is seen lingering near his artwork. But the Virginia Military Institute doesn‘t have a monopoly on Lexington ghosts. Knox’s book also spins tales of spirits that prowl the streets of _Lexington. She tells the story of a Washington and Lee student that once lived in an apartment behind the modem—day Rockbridge County Court House. The student was an adopt stands the Reid-White house. Knox writes that the former head of the Washington and Lee University library, Henry Coleman, claimed to hear a ghost and witness its destruction. While staying alone in the house one night,‘ Coleman heard footsteps descending from the house’s attic to the basement storage room. After several metal objects were knocked over, Coleman says he then heard the footsteps climb to the master bedroom on the second floor. Coleman heard a loud crash, followed by the footsteps once again mounting the attic stairs. The final sound was the slamming of the attic door. The next mom- ing Coleman discovered that a painting in the bedroom lay smashed on the floor. Knox writes that if an intruder had climbed back into the attic, he would have then found himself trapped; there was no way to exit the attic “without wings.” In later years children claimed to hear footsteps in the Reid-VW1ite house.

Not everyone is cut out to change the world. After all, it takes educa- tion, skills and a spare two years. Also a willingness to work. Hard. This year 3,750 Americans will join the Peace Corps to do just that. They'll do things like build roads, . plant forests and crops, teach English, develop small businesses, train community health workers, , or even coach basketball. However, what they'll be doing isn't half as important as the fact that they'll be changing a little piece of the world '. . .for the better. And when they return, these 3,750 Americans will find that experience doing hard work will have another benefit. It's-exactly what their next employers are looking for. Solgive the Peace Corps your next two years. And while you're out changing the world, you'll also be making a place in it for yourself. Peace Corps recruiters will be at the University Center in room 109 from 7 pm until 9 pm to show arfilm about Peace Corps on Oct. 26. Sign up for interviews at the Placement Office.
