By Pat Lopes Assignment Editor The Lexington Voting Regulations Board is bringing voter registration to Washington and Lee. City Registrar Lucille Joyce will be here Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. She’ll be at the ODK Circle outside the Co-op if the warm weath- er keeps up, but if temperatures drop she'll move into the Co-op or the University Center. The voting board asked Joyce to come to W&L after receiving com- plaints from students that they were harassed when they tried to register to vote. According to the board's president, Bill Stearns, the registrar was not intentionally harassing stu- dents. Instead, he said, she was ask- ing the students questions to deter- mine whether they were actually residents of Virginia, which is re- quired to register. Despite what he called Joyce’s good intentions, Steams said singling out any group of registrants for ques- tioning was clearly illegal. He said Joyce no longer ques- tions the residency status of students, and she’s coming to W&L to make up for any problems students may have had in the past. Students may be especially inter- ested in getting a voice in city gov- ernment because of the number of issues before the city council which are directly related to student life. Specifically, city council will be considering the approval of the W&L Master Plan and conditional use per- mits. However, Stearns encourages students to think carefully before registering to vote here. Gaining a voice in Lexington city government FD tradition in the black By Chris Baradel Staff Reporter The Fancy Dress Ball, traditional- ly a black-tie affair, started a new tradition this year — the event was run in the black. “Conservatively speaking, we were about $6,000 to $8,000 under budget,” said John Hamilton, Fancy Dress auditor. “We could end up as much as $10,000 under budget.” Hamilton said that not all book- keeping is finished yet, but he will know how far under budget the event was by Monday’s Executive Commit- tee meeting, when the Fancy Dress Committee presents its financial re- port. A new system of budgeting helped keep the Fancy Dress budget more organized this year, said Kath- leen Duwel, Student Activities Board Treasurer. The Fancy Dress budget was kept separate from the rest of the SAB budget, making it considerably easier to determine the bills and revenue, she said. Last year, the Fancy Dress budget was lumped in with the budget for other SAB ac- tivities. Another vital change in the finan- cial organization of Fancy Dress was that there were no charge accounts this year, Duwel said. All incidental expenses were paid for out of a petty cash fund, she said. Last year the SAB could not keep track of "11 the charges that were amassed, and it was getting Fancy Dress bills into the summer. The late bills greatly con- tributed to the $22,000 deficit the SAB had last year, she said. Also, the ball was very wisely budgeted this year, according to Du- wel. “We budgeted according to the minimum income we thought we would get from the ball,” she said. “In the past, the committee made the budget according to income they thought they might get from the ball — it was more of a stab in the dark.” Associate Dean of Students Leroy “Buddy” Atkins was invaluable in advising the committee on how to set the budget because of his past ex- perience with Fancy Dress, Duwell said. The sale of Fancy Dress memor- abilia was» an example of the smart budgeting, according to Duwel. “In the budget, we counted on selling half of the memorabilia, but we did much better than that,” she said. Hamilton said the ball “probably” lost money last year. The new restric- tions on spending helped make the Fancy Dress Committee members more cognizant of the need to spend wisely, he added. The Fancy Dress Committee spent about $57,000, according to commit- tee chairman Alexander Hitz. The money paid for expenses such as decorations, bands and printing.Hitz said about 1,300 tickets were sold but over 3,000 people attended the ball. More people attended the ball than tickets were sold because some people get in free, he said, such as professors and Fancy Dress workers. The ball ran smoothly, according to Hitz. “We had no problems," he said/‘There were no complaints from anybody about anything." does have some losses, he said. Students definitely lose a voice in their hometown govemments, almost definitely lose coverage under their parents’ homeowners insurance and possibly lose residency status in their home state, according to Stearns. In addition, claiming Lexington to be your legal residency comes at a price, local taxes. Still, Steams said, students do have the option of voting here for four years and re-registering at home after gradution. Furthermore, he said, students can buy their own homeown- ers’ insurance, which will vary in held today Dumas elected senior rep. By Rick Peltz Staff Reporter Willard Dumas, Thomas Spurgeon, Leslie Lewis and Stephen White brought in majorities in Monday’s election to claim the positions of senior Executive Committee repre- sentative, senior class president and senior class vice president, respective- ly. Dumas captured 169 of the 582 votes cast for senior EC representa- tive; 291 seniors voted. John Fial— cowitz faced Andrew Gaffney in today’s run-off for the other EC seat. Matthew Malloy was eliminated from the race Monday. Dumas did not wish to comment on his win. Spurgeon captured the senior class presidency with a comfortable mar- gin of victory over opponent Bryan Patterson. Two of the senior class vice pres- idencies will be occupied by Lewis and White next year. John Neslage and Cristina Robinson contended for the third in run-off, while David Blank and Jonathan Myer stood de- feated. White attributed his victory to “the job I’ve done for the last three years” as a class officer.

In rising junior elections, William Jones, Clayton Kennington, Spencer Patton and Caroline Wight all moved to the run-off for their class’ two EC seats, leaving Ward Maedgen and Jon Omdorff behind. The race for junior class presi- dent narrowed to Read Folline against Willie Henderson in the run-off. The junior class vice-presidential election yielded the only write-in candidates. Jennifer Fischer, who appeared on the ballot, lost to Wil- liam Toles, also on the ballot. Toles, however, today faced write-in candi- date Christopher Haley who received 66 of the 271 votes cast for the post. The freshman class yielded the highest voter turnout with 354 voters. The 708 votes cast in the 12-candi- date election for sophomore EC rep- resentatives selected Sean Gatewood, Joshua MacFarland, Kirk Ogden and Robert Wilson to face one another in run-off. Richard Burke and Donald Ridge advanced to the run-offs for sopho- more president, defeating Michael Hill and Thomas Washmon.

Last week, that :effort failed. __ SAC is now composed of five faculty members and administrators and five students. The students -- the }presidents of the Interfratemity Council, the Executive Committee, the Student Bar Association and the Student Conduct Committee and the head dorm counselor — {together serve as representatives of the student body. To us, it seems only logical that PHC also should have voting representation on SAC, since that committee is currently voting on issues that directly affect the women’s fraternities. Right now, the PHC has voice on all issues and a vote — waived to PHC from IFC - only on those issues affecting the sororities. Needless to say, this is a cumbersome compromise. To give the sororities equal representation, SAC moved to give PHC representation equal to that of all other SAC members, and to add a sixth faculty member in order to maintain an even ratio of faculty to students. Nevertheless, the faculty, in one afternoon, voted down the SAC’s proposal for this minimal restructuring, even though SAC, a committee with an administration- appointed or faculty-elected majority, debated relevant issues for almost six weeks before making its proposal. The faculty apparently feared too much Greek influence on SAC and were in general unwilling to enlarge the committee. But an increase from 10 to 12 is not excessive. Yes, another faculty member would have to join the committee, but is that really too much to ask? SAC exists so the university and students can meet to monitor and take part in the “co-curricular” activities of the school. W&L has always accented the importance of developing well- rounded individuals, and it seems odd that the faculty would balk at continuing to support that idea. It is true that committees such as SAC can be draining diversions from academia for professors. But we hope that it is not any reluctance to work with students that is keeping the faculty from wanting to enlarge SAC. We would like to believe that there isn’t a “not me!” attitude among those to whom we turn for support and advice on so many matters. The negative votes for the proposal seem also to be stemming from a general anti-Greek sentiment. However, the faculty approved the colonization of the three sororities, and it seems out of place for the faculty to attempt to damn them now by not allowing them full representation. Further, the social system at W&L is, rightly or wrongly, based largely on the Greek system. It is backwards for the faculty to attempt to attack this reality by not allowing PHC to vote. In actuality, however, the “Greek vote” would increase to only about 16 percent of the entire committee’s vote. This percentage could in no way prove to be a major factor in swaying SAC voting — especially since the faculty will still control selection of a SAC majority. Also, it seems that the faculty are wrongly assuming that the PHC and IFC are of similar stock and would vote together on all issues, simply because they are both “Greek.” But the two groups are vitally different in their structures, orientations and duties, and the issues affecting each group are incomparable. Fraternities have weekend parties and house rules and noise violations to contend with, while sororities need to approve occasional hotel rentals for parties and are working to find housing. In any case, the PHC accounts for 60 percent of the undergraduate female population — not a negligible amount of women with essentially the same interests. Similar-sized interest groups are represented on SAC without question by the head dorm counselor and president of the Student Bar Association, so it would seem that mere size is not the problem. To be fair, this question of representation is extremely complex. But that is the problem. The faculty voted it down quickly. This issue requires a closer look and reconsideration by the faculty. All involved should reconsider their initial reactions and listen to the facts.

When we realize to our horror that our country has supported a dis- gusting tyrant like Anastasio Somoza, reason eludes us. Passion sets in, causing good people to jump without thinking on the bandwagon of any leader who claims to have answers. There is much in the history of U.S. relations with Nicaragua to indict. In his “My View” column last week, Alan Heinrich rightly points that out. But the Sandinista regime wasn't the answer to Nicaragua’s problems just because the man it overthrew, Anastasio Somoza, was a bad guy. Nic- aragua’s revolution didn’t end in 1979 when Somoza was overthrown; it was subverted by a group just as heinous as those it replaced. U.S. involvement helped the revolution in the 1970s, and it helped complete it in the 1990s. Painting Jimmy Carter as pro-Somoza is a gross misrepresentation of the facts. Upon arrival in office, Carter almost immediately stopped military aid to Somoza. Even Henry Kissenger stated that “the Jimmy Carter administration actively partici- pated in the overthrow of the Somoza govem— ment.” Moreover, in the first two years of the San- dinista regime, the administration gave $118 million in direct aid. This was much more than the United States gave to Somoza.

The group that overthrew Somoza was a genu- ine coalition of many ideologies. The ruling junta included several moderates like Anturo Cruz and Violete Chamorro. One by one democratic ideals were betrayed. Many who became Contra leaders, like Adolfo Calero, fought with Daniel Ortega’s group against Somoza, but became disillusioned with the totalitarian regime that resulted. The Sandinistas originally promised open elections as soon as possible after the overthrow of Somoza. After taking power, they reneged on that commitment until 1984. It is impossible to know ‘what the result of the elections might have been if the main opposition candidates, Arturo Cruz and Virgilio Godoy, had not declined to run due to government threats, lack of media access, and limited organizational time, The aid from Nicaragua to insurgents in El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras and Ecuador is also staggering in volume. In 1985, Ecuador broke off diplomatic relations with Nicaragua for “gross, inadrnissable attacks on the dignity, sovereignty and independence" of that country - involving terrorist attacks. During the 1983 trial of terrorists in Costa Rica, the defendants admitted receiving logistical support and training from the Sandinista regime. Since 1981, Nicaraguans have been recruiting Nicaragua: a U.S. suces. and training Hondurans as armed insurgents. The Honduran government has even arrested Nicaraguan advisors to these insurgents in Honduras. In December 1980, El Salvadoran rebels receiv- ing military material from the Nicaraguan govem- ment complained that the volume of arms ship- ments was so large that they could not assimilate it all. A rebel leader said that in 1981 and 1982 virtually all of this unit's arms came from Nicara- gua. Nicaraguan syrnpathizers often say that many captured rebel weapons are of American manufac- ture, but serial numbers show that these were originally sent to Vietnam. The list could go on and on. The Sandinistas failed in many of their prom- ises to their citizens. The government was proud of its campaign against illiteracy, but free-lance writer Dee Rivers Stirnpson reports that though tuition is free, many poor children do not attend because urtiforrns and books are not free. In Masaya, a small city south of Managua, Stirnpson saw a mother throwing rocks at the Sandinista Youth office shouting “You carmot have my boy!" A man wept in the middle of a frus- trated uprising that “Everyone had betrayed us. They carmot have any more of my sons! They promised us democracy, everybody always prom- ises democracy.” Real wages fell 71 percent between 1979 and 1981, before all U.S. support ended, Even given our economic boycott of the country, the United States consumes 25 percent of all of Nicaragua’s exports. Real income in 1985 was about the same as it was in 1960. Maybe Nicaraguan wealth was subverted for arms to El Salvadoran rebels.

The Ring-tum Phi Post Office Box 899 Lexington, Virginia 24450 By Thomas Brubaker I write this arti:le in response to Alan Heinrich’s article, “Election Blues in Nicaragua” that appeared in last week's Phi. Mr. Heirrrich’s article had two main points: to lament the recent Sandinista election loss in Nicaragua, and to criticize U.S. involvement in Nicaraguan affairs. I feel compelled to provide some facts about Nicaraguan life during Sandinista rule, since Mr. Heinrich failed to do so. In 1979, the Sandinistas promised democracy, but they delivered a decade of dogmatic Marxism-Leninism. By 1989, Nicaragua had become the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. ammunition shipments to communist terrorists in El Salvador. The Soviet Union and Cuba supplied Ortega’s regime with over $2.5 billion per year in military aid during the mid 1980s, and Nicaragua built up the largest army in Central America. The Sandinistas engineered this economic collapse while Ortega censored the press, and Party members enjoyed lives of luxury. Mr. Heinrich somehow attributes the Nicaraguan economic failure to “the result of U.S. policy." I remind Mr. Heinrich that Daniel Ortega, not Ronald Reagan, decided to nationalize private land, destroy coffee plantations, and wreck a once- thriving Nicaraguan economy. for eight years to regain freedom. Mr. Heinrich accuses the United States of exporting revolution when he terms this nationalist struggle “his [President Reagan's] Contra war.” However, I find it ironic that Mr. Heinrich later rejects the idea of “exporting revolution" by passionately defending the principle of indigenous revolutions arising from oppression and poverty. He accuses the United States of something he asserts does not exist, and he fails to recognize the legitimate Contra indigenous revolution. Mr. Heinrich attempts to take the moral high ground and accuse the United States of knowing what is right for Nicaragua. He asserts that Nicaraguan people have rejected, isn't Mr. Heinrich guilty of the same paternalistic attitude he accuses U.S. policymakers of? Mr. Heinrich questions the judgements of the Nicaraguans in the recent free election. I can understand his reservations because they have had little experience in free elections; the Sandinistas ruled for a decade before submitting to one. However, I have confidence in the Nicaraguan people. Again I find it ironic that such a passionate defender of Nicaraguan nationalism, which Mr. Heinrich claims to be, laments the will of the people. Why is Mr. Heinrich “Blue” when Nicaraguans are shouting with joy? Where do the election posters go? MY VIEW By Rick J. Peltz Somewhere there must be a place where all the campaign posters that disappear from campus get together and have a drink and a laugh at their candidates’ expense. The number of posters that disappeared in this week's election and the previous week’s campaign- ing unfortunately exceeds a number attributable to rain and wind. I say unfortunately because that leaves human interference as the only remaining option. Senior Executive Committee Rep. David Radul- ovic said at Monday night’s EC meeting that Buildings and Grounds was probably responsible for the removal of most of the posters. He has a point. In some instances, posters disappear in indiscriminate fashion, whole sets re- moved from a wall and such. This seems to indicate that someone concerned with the beautifi- cation of our campus is choosing to remove posters from certain places wherever they may detract from. the homey, non—comrnercial atmosphere. However, B&G Superintendent James Arthur said Monday that no posters were removed by B&G personnel unless they were, essentially, on something white, such as columns, or doors to most buildings. What I find more disturbing is that many posters are removed in seeming discriminate fashion. Case—in-point: I myself placed five posters on brick walkways for a friend and candidate late at night before . Monday's elections. Some time between 3 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Monday, one of those posters was removed. Some time between 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m., three more were removed. All four of the missing posters were in clear view of passersby; three were in plain view of polling places where Voting Regulations Board representatives should have been stationed; three were definitely removed during prime pedestrian traffic hours; and one was removed from the company of other posters surrounding it. Mr. Radulovic said that B&G is probably responsible. However, Mr. Arthur said that B&G removed no posters from brick walkways. Moreover, it does not follow that B&G would discriminate one poster from a bunch. Some person, therefore, outside of B&G, must have deliberately and wrongfully removed at least one of those posters I placed, likely more, and likely witnessed. This is not an isolated case. In speaking with the EC Monday night, I learned that candidates’ posters are commonly discovered missing without explanation, and often when others around them have not been disturbed. I call upon the student body, the EC, and the Voting Regulations Board to recognize that the removal of candidates’ posters, in such an illegiti- mate fashion as I have described, is at the very least poor conduct in violation of the spirit of trust that supposedly pervades W&L life, and at the very most may be argued as an honor violation. We cannot compromise our community of trust in any way. Every act that violates that trust and every witness to such an act who doesn't report it is one more stain on W&L's armor of honor. No one should want such a stain to be their most lasting contribution to W&L. 9 ‘C Vfi OCR::/Vol_089/WLURG39_RTP_19900315/WLURG39_RTP_19900315_003.2.txt < 4. 5 V out 6 4 ‘. f Y “;‘»‘_,. -.3, V“ 4‘ 1-‘ -9- :Rabies cas '; 4 1 5 NEWS VOTE from page 1 The Master Plan and the condi- tional use permits are two separate issues. The Master Plan calls for the rezoning of land owned by W&L, including Red Square and the David- son Park area across the street from _ the Police Station. Approval of the plan will allow renovations of fraternity houses to continue as planned in the Fraternity Renaissance program. The conditional use permits are exemptions to a city ordinance that limits to four the number of students that can live together in a single house. A number of W&L students live in houses covered by these permits. The permits are now being considered for renewal, but their renewal is in jeopardy. In a recent public hearing, local residents pointed out that the houses could be rented to Lexington’s low _income residents. Also, local residents have complained about student distur- bances of otherwise peaceful neigh- borhoods. If these permits aren’t renewed, students expecting to live in these homes will need to look for new living arrangements next year. The ultimate fate of the Master Plan, the conditional use permits and related issues that may come up in the future lies in the hands of city council. Although both the plan and the permits are now being considered by the Planning Commission, all action recommended by the commission must first be approved by council. TAX from page 1 request raises several legal ques- tions. Under federal law, according to Wilson and the W&L Student Handbook, schools usually are not allowed to release information about a student without his permission. ' Maj. Gen. John Knapp, superin- tendent of Virginia Military Institute, recieved a similar letter from King, and Wilson said Knapp has asked for, but has not yet re- ceived, a legal opinion from Vir- ginia Attorney General Mary Sue Terry as to whether the schools le- gally can turn over such a list. Wilson also said he told King he has other questions about the tax- collecting effort. The president said he is concem- ed that turning over the information the city wants would encourage stu- dents to refuse to register their cars with the university. Also, Wilson said, he is afraid that to comply with the city's re- quest would encourage students to live outside of the city and thus dis- courage involvement in on-carnpus activities. Finally, Wilson said he told King he does not think Lexington “has taken fully into account the fact that over 80 percent of our un- dergraduate students come from oth- er states” and that many of those students pay a similar tax back home. ' “It seems on the surface a most unwise course to invest in a tax-col- lecting effort with such a small number of potentially elligible tax payers at stake,” Wilson said. e reported in Rockbridge Co. By Chris Baradel Staff Reporter Rockbridge County has its first confirmed rabies case in several years, according to John R. Tucker, a santarian at the Rockbridge County Health Department. A pony, pastured on the west side of U.S. Route 11 between Tirnberlake and Fairfield, was infected with ra- bies, Tucker said. “I don't know how it happened,” he said. ‘‘It doesn't make sense. The pony was confined in a ham for several months.” Tucker said the pony was most likely infected by a bat, because bats are the only animals that carry rabies without being infected by the disease. Also, since the only other reported cases of rabies near Lexington have been in Augusta County, it is unlike- ly anotiaér kind of animal could have 4 ftriiva/ed far enough to infect the pony, Tucker said Rabies, which is fatal for ani- mals, can be treat.-:‘. in humans with a series of intermuscular shots, ac- cording to Tucker. Rabies shots, which have a reputation for being extremely painful, are painful now for a different reason, said Tucker. “They aren’t so physically painful anymore,” he said, “as they are U: financially painful." The cost of the ‘rabies vaccine, J shots and physcians’ time totals about $1,500 per person, according to Tuck- er. The disease is transmitted when the saliva of a rabid animal passes through the skin of a person or an- other animal. ' ' It is improbable that someone could get the disease from eating or drinking something that came in contact with an infected animal, Tu- cker said. Some symptoms rabid animals have that students should watch out for are aggressiveness and an inability to swallow, Tucker said. “Any change in the behavior of your animal indicates something is wrong, and you should get your animal confined and take it to a vetemarian,” Tucker said. The Commonwealth of Virginia requires all dogs more than six months old to be vaccinated for ra- bies, Tucker said. Dogs must get their first shot at six months, an adult shot at one year and a shot every three years thereafter. Every dog in Virginia must also be licensed with the state, he added, and it is impossible to get a license without proof of vacination. Cats must be vaccinated once a year, he said. Tucker said he hopes this is an isolated cases of rabies. “I have no reason to suspect that it is anything other than isolated,” Tucker said.

SPRENG from page 2 Mr. Heinrich describes our anti- Sandinista policy as “counterrevolu- tion," and therefore, wrong. If that is accurate, _ we must agree that the students in Tienarnrnen Square were counterrevolutionary as well. Thus, if we carry the logic further, we would have to agree from his characteriza- tion of counterrevolution that the stu- dents in China were somehow wrong. I'm not prepared to accept that argu- ment. I question the entire premise. To equate the American Revolu- tion with the Sandinista government is also intellectually irresponsible. I dignify it with a response because I do not want any naive readers to be confused by the glamour of the argu- ment. The American__ revolutionary, leaders never lied about their goals, were as democratic as possible, and encouraged so much initial public criticism that they had to completely scrap their initial plan of government and draft a new one, which they subsequently sent to the people for approval. The Constitution has been copied all over the world and is widely respected as a work of genius. Our experience is the exception. Revolution has a depressing habit of going awry — as it did in France in the 1700s, Russia in 1917, Spain in the__1930s, and; as _r_no_s,t people now realize it did in Nicaragua in 1979. The Nicaraguan people ‘supported the overthrow of Somoza, but they‘ never picked the government they got as a result. Mrs. Chamorro may now have the chance to bring the real government of the people, by the people and for the people to Nicara- gua. If the United States participated in the process in a positive way, well, good for us! EC from page 1 ter tonight. A student expressed concern to the EC at the comrnittee’s Monday night meeting that many campaign posters were wrongfully taken down prior to and during elections. Senior EC Rep. David Radulovic proposed that Buildings and Grounds may be removing the posters. Buildings and Grounds Superin- doors and columns would be re- moved. EC President Dumas said he would address the concern to Goings. Also at Monday night's meeting, Dumas, on behalf ‘of the student body, thanked all candidates for their efforts. EC Secretary Christopher Giblin later added that “[VRB Chairman] Wesley Goings deserves a lot of credit for the fine job he's done.” Giblin cited “three years of devoted service to the VRB [and] W&L" on Goings’ part. In other EC business, Dumas re- ported that two applications to the White Book Revisions Committee have been received from the under- graduate campus and 10 from the Law School. The EC extended the deadline for applications to Monday, March 19. “We need people on that com- mittee," said EC Vice President Jonathan Sheinberg, urging more students to apply.

For the past two seasons, the Washington and Lee men’s lacrosse team had losing grow on them like a bad rash. But recently, however, it seems that the Generals have found the calamine lotion and have cured the losing rash. In defeating Ithaca Tues- day in their home opener 13-4, W&L extended it’s winning streak to three games, the longest in three years. After handling Old Dominion Athletic Conference rival Randolph- Macon a week ago Wednesday, the Generals travelled up to Lancaster, Pa. to take on Franklin and Marshall on Fancy Dress Saturday. Said first-year head coach Jim Stagnitta before the trip, “The guys are focused. They know they played probably their worst game of the season last year against F&M, and they want to prove to themselves that they could play a better game. We are going up there to do one thing, and that is to beat Franklin and Mar- shall.” Goals by senior midfielder Jim Jones tied the game at 1-1 and fresh- man David Schiminger, the Generals led 2-1 with 7:30 to go in the open- ing quarter. From there, however, F&M scored the next three goals of the quarter to take a 4-2 lead after the period. Junior gbalie Tom Costello had a rough first quarter, giving up four goals. Said Stagnitta, “Tornmy strug- gled in the first quarter. He had his worst game in college last year against F&M, and they were letting him know about it — jawing at him before and during the game. But he hung tough." Junior middie Todd Garliss brought the Generals to within 4-3 to start the second quarter off an assist from sophomore Wiemi Douoguih, and Jones tied the game at 4-4 with 8:08 to play in the half. After another F&M goal, junior attaclanan Mike Moseman tied the game for W&L at the half with his goal 2:12 before intermission. In the third quarter, the Generals took control of the game. Sophomore attackrnan Jeff Roberts scored with 12:52 left in the quarter to start the ball rolling, and Douoguih and Mose- man continued the roll with goals of their own to give the Generals an 8- 5 lead heading into the final quarter. After F&M scored to make it 8- 6, Roberts and Jones tallied the fm- ishing blows to extend the lead to 10,-‘6. F&M got two late goals, the last ‘with 1:16 to play, to make it a 10-8 game, but the Generals held on for a 10-8 win over 13th ranked F&M. Said Stagnitta after the win, “We beat a team that had more individual talent than we did. We won because we played a better team game than they did and executed everything we wanted to.” Costello rebounded from his slow start to record 20 saves, including 14 in the second half. Jones had a car- eer—high three goals to lead W&L, Senior Jim Jones runs the ball toward the goal in W&L’s 13-4 win over Ithaca Tuesday on Wilson Field.

The Fllng-tum Phl, March 15, 1990 while Moseman had two goals and an assist and Roberts added two goals. Tuesday, on a sun-drenched Wil- son Field, the Generals were red-hot and could do no wrong in the first half. Senior attackrnan Chris Mastro- giovanni set the stage when he batted a pass from junior Clark Wight into the net just 1:50 into the game to open the scoring.Wight scored with 11:22 left, and Jones closed the first quarter scoring with a goal 38 sec- onds from the end to give the Gen- erals'a 3-0 lead. In the second quarter, Douoguih scored 14 seconds in and followed that with another goal with 10:55 left to make it 5-0. Roberts scored 32 seconds later to make it 6-0. Jones scored his second goal with 8:17 left and Garliss (7:25), Mastrogiovanni (7:01) and Schirninger (1:38) finished the first half scoring. Mastrogiovaririi opened the third quarter by registering his third hat trick of the season, off Moseman’s third assist of the day. After that, however, the W&L offense took a break, and Ithaca ran off thrw straight goals, all by Bill Aldrich. In the fourth quarter, Roberts scored his second goal of the day, and Douoguih followed with his third as the Generals cruised to the 13-4 win. , Mastrogiovanni and Douogiiih each scored three goals. Jones and Roberts added two apiece. Moseman handed out four assists and Wight dished out two.

The Generals will host Roanoke College, Eastern Mermonite College, John Carroll University, and Bridge- water College, and men's head coach Norris Aldridge believes this will be his tearn’s toughest challenge all year. The action begins on the track at 3:00 p.m. Besides the six-year unbeaten streak, the men have accumulated nine Old Dominion Athletic Con- ference indoor and outdoor titles in that time. However, the same suc- cess will not come easily as evidenced by a second place finish to Lynchburg at the ODAC Indoor Championships in February. It was the first time since 1984 the Generals failed to win the indoor crown.

This year, Aldridge acknowledged that the depth is unproven, but claims that is still there. Said Aldridge, “We don’t have a lot of proven depth. The good thing is we have a lot of potential. That’s going to be key, and I think it will be even more of a key than in the past.” However, to ease the transition, a group of top performers are returning to this season’s squad. Leading that group are the 1990 tri-captains ‘of senior Wes Boyd, junior David Mar- tin, and senior Phillip Sampson. Boyd, after struggling with injury last season, has returned strongly to top sprinting form, winning the ODAC 60-yard dash during the indoor sea- son. Martin also had a fine winter season, winning the ODAC indoor mile with a 4:27.6 clocking. Samp- son, who has twice won the ODAC pole vault championship, will look to add a third in his finalseason.

So many of 'ur guys hadn’t played much be- ore,” head coach Jeff Stickley said, eferririg to the fact that W&L lost ‘ e players to graduation. Z W&L opened the season with a 4- _ loss against Holy Cross on Thurs- yday, and was then smothered by West ‘ Virginia Tech on Friday, 11-4, before ‘coming back to sweep WVa. Tech in ‘ii doubleheader on Saturday, 15-4 and .15-4. , L After four straight home games, the Generals traveled to Bridgewater ‘on Tuesday and dropped a 3-1 deci- ,sion to open the Old Dominion Ath- letic Conference season. On Thursday, with the score tied at 2-2 in the ninth inning, Holy Cross loaded the bases with nobody out and #proceeded to score two runs to take (a, 4-2 lead. The Generals scored one run in 4 their last at bat when sophomore T.J. ‘Daly’s ground out to second brought home freshman Mike Steinbrook. For gthe game, sophomore outfielder Brian ‘Harper was 3-for-4 at the plate and scored a run. , Sophomore pitcher Steve Momor- ella, last year's W&L Freshman Ath- ‘lete-of-the-Year, gave up four runs, ‘two in the first inning and two in the ninth, but allowed only one hit from Vthe second through the eighth inning while registering eight strikeouts. “Steve pitched a heck of a ~ game,” Stickley said. “We gave ourselves a chance to win and that’s (what we're looking for. The biggest . thing for us to work on is to make sure we score enough runs. We left la lot of people on base.” 4 On Friday, WVa. Tech scored four runs in both the third and sixth ‘innings on their way to an 11-4 vic- tory. The Generals picked up three runs in the fifth inning on back-to- ‘back doubles from junior first base- man J.T. Swartz and junior outfielder Tim Wheeler. Swartz was 2-for-3 with two rims scored. “They just hit the ball better than ASPORTS us,” Stickley said “They smashed it around pretty good. They deserved to win that one.” The first game of Satiirday’s doubleheader against the Golden Bears saw the Generals erupt for 15 runs as 11 different players crossed the plate. The second game was a bit tighter. W&L picked up five runs in the first two innings and held on to win, 5-4. “I was pretty pleased with the way we came back to win the dou- bleheader, especially on the day after Fancy Dress,” Stickley said. “We had some great pitching.” That pitching came from senior David Smith and sophomore Toby McCoy. Smith won the first game and earned a save in the second, after McCoy had been pitching a perfect game going into the fourth inning. Smith also went tliree-for-six at the plate on Saturday. “He (Smith) was just in a groove, he was ahead (in the count) of a lot of hitters," Stickley said. “He’s By Jay Plotkln Sports Editor If you told someone in passing on the Colonnade that the Washington and Lee women’s lacrosse team was going to fare well against national powerhouse Washington College on Tuesday, tliey' would have first called you crazy and then reminded you that a year ago, Washington College de- feated the Generals 15-3. But that was last year. To open the 1990 campaign, the Generals gave head coach Jan Hath- om every reason to smile about what this season could bring to Lexington despite losing 12-8. “I was really pleased with the ef- fort. We played hard for all 50 min- utes. I think we learned a lot from playing a team of Washington’s cal- iber in the first game.

I think if you take away some first game nervousness, then this game could have very easily been 8-8." . Despite the fine effort, Hathom still thinks the team has a long way to go. “We still have a long way to go, but if this first effort is any in- dication, we stand a very good chance of doing well this season.” The Generals travel to take on Old Dominion Athletic Conference rival Bridgewater today and will play host to Western Maryland Saturday on Liberty Hall Field.

OCR::/Vol_089/WLURG39_RTP_19900315/WLURG39_RTP_19900315_006.2.txt By Joshua Manning Staff Reporter Anyone attending the Minority Student Association/Ornnicron Delta Kappa panel discussion last night expecting a consensus of opinion was probably disappointed. Although no specific conclusions were reached, the evening did shed light on the topic of cultural diversity. The question addressed was, “Does the university promote or inhibit cultural diversity?” Specific areas such as W&L’s curriculum, social life and admission policies were under scrutiny. Panelists discussing their percep- tions of multiculturalism at W&L were Assistant Dean of Students Kenneth Ruscio, Minority Student Association President James Ram- beau, Interfratemity Council President Kevin Nash, Executive Committee President Willard Dumas, former International Club President Jennifer Spreng, Spectator Editor Paul Legarde, and Assistant Professor of Sociology Anne Wortham. At first, the speakers summarized their ideas about cultural diversity. Dean Ruscio stressed his feelings that diversity already exists on carn- pus. “Greater diversity is an oppor- tunity; not a problem,” he said. He W&L|FE Grappling with cultural diversit also remarked that multiculturalism enriches Western society, therefore, knowing about other cultures helps us understand our own. “We must dedi- cate ourselves to making every person in the W&L community feel at home.” James Rambeau disagreed with this view. He feels that Washington and Lee has not been doing nearly enough to promote multiculturalism because everything “tends to be seen in black and white.” He beleives that, while many traditions are good, traditions that impede the success of the University must be changed. Rambeu said that, while the curriculum is generally euro—centric in content, it is slowly changing. Willard Dumas took the same general viewpoint. The University’s effort in attracting culturally diverse faculty members has disappointed him. Dumas’ main point was that bringing diverse students here is not enough. Dumas feels that, once students are here, they seem to be isolated by the social structure of our campus. Kevin Nash addressed the entire idea behind multiculturalism. “We should not change our current cur- riculum, but rather augment it by offering the study of other cultures for those who are interested.” On the socialissue. Nash said that while ‘dent has the desire The Rlng-tum Phl, March 15, 1990_ fraternities rriight have inhibited cul- tural diversity in the past, that the problem is in the process of being corrected. He did not mention what steps were being taken. Tak.ing Nash's idea further, Paul Legarde vocalized his thought that we live in a society based upon European ideas. “It is not surprising that Amer- ican universities are euro-centric, and American culture demands that they be that way. W&L is working very hard to bring diverse students and professors on campus.” Dr. Wortham, who is a new profe- ssor at W&L, hoped that the panel discussion would help her discern the extent of cultural diversity on cam- pus. She said, “Generally, I have problems with the concept of multi- culturalism because it tends to be used to undermine the legitimacy of cultural pluralism. The term should not be used to put the intellectual heritage of the West on the defen- sive.” _ Wortharn believes that, because America has a pluralistic culture all of its own, we should strive toward intellectual independence, instead of multiculturalism. Jennifer Spreng bases her view- point on the thought that every stu- to fit in at Washington and Lee. “Everyone has the right to feel good about thenisel— ve . Similarly to Dean Ruscio, Spreng believes that the community as a whole must work to promote different cultures. “Relations between groups at W&L are not perfect, but they tend to be resolved with much less acrimony than at so many other schools,” she said. Once each panelist had a chance to'speak, ODK Vice-President Shawn Copeland, who served as moderator, opened questions to the audience. While many issues were address- ed, the University’s admissions and recruitment policies were discussed in depth. Currently, the University’s admission process does not adhere to any percentages (sex not included), rather it strives for the widest diver- sity possible. This often results in special recruitment of minority stu- dents. One glaring question concerning the acceptability of this policy seemed to remain: Should there be a blind admissions policy? According to Rambeau, one of the event’s organizers, the goal of the evening was to “promote discussion and get a general assessment of stu- dent opinion on the topic.” This is the second year the panel discussion has been conducted. Last year's discussion followed similar lines. Will the third? ROTC conducts exercises with VMI From News Releases Operation —- Winter Warrior pitted Washington and Lee‘s ROTC Mink Battalion and Virginia Military Institute’s New Market Army ROTC Battalion seniors against the under- classmen for three days of training exercises in George Washington Na- tional Forest earlier this month. The first ever joint exercise, held Feb. 3-5, helped prepare the third- year cadets for Advance Camp at Ft. Bragg, N.C., this summer, said New Market Army cadet Chris Larlee. The cadets were also able to put into practice the tactics they learned on the fall training exercises at Fort Lee, N.J. Upon reaching George Washington National Forest Friday evening, the Winter Warrior Platoon moved through the’woods to the first patrol base. From there, the platoon divided into three different squads and con- ducted security patrols of the area in order to secure the perimeter, recon- noitcr terrain, and gain information about the enemy, the seniors from the two units. The long night, complicated by little sleep and frequent frrefights with the opposing forces, came to an abrupt end when the cadets were awakened at 5 a.m. Both sides we-.re D. Iuman_, Blaclrstnclr & Associates armed with M-16 rifles and bl-'1i(. ammunition. In the morning, a re cieuv of the night’s activities was held and the units prepared to move to the new patrol camp. Upon arrival at the second camp, the squads conducted reconnaissance patrols of an enemy base, to be raided in the morning. The informa- tion returned by the scouts was used by cadet leaders to determine the direction of attack and locations for assault, support and security elements for the raid. ' Completing the recon of the raid site, the three squads joined together for a platoon ambush of enemy for- ces using a nearby trail. After the PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES!

There they were able to eat a hot meal and change into dry clothes. Movement to the raid site began on Sunday morning at 3 a.m. Again, the platoon had to move through the dark, wet forest, led by cadet leaders. The raid was short, fierce and suc- cessful. The department of Military Art and Leadership will hold another exercise during Spring Term at Ft. Bragg to further prepare for this summer's Advance Camp.
