Two years ago the university claimed a national championship compliments of the men’s tennis team, but the latest championship has come in a slightly different arena. Last Sunday the Fiji Love Natives, winners of W&L’s fourth annual Lip- Sync contest, and finalists in the na- tionwide SAMS (Students Against Multiple Sclerosis) “Rock—a-Like" contest, were chosen as the top act in the nation. The Love Natives, one of six acts chosen by SAMS to perform live on MTV from Daytona Beach, were the favorite act of viewers across the na- tion. ~ The voting was done entirely on a call-in basis, and when it was over the Fijis had accumulated 31 percent of the votes, beating the runner-up group from the University of Missouri, which got 28 percent of the votes, ac- cording to Love Native Tyler Suiters. “All the credit goes to the people here at W&L,” said Suiters. “From wh heard, people were voting four anfiive times.” z7""‘We couldn’t have done it without W& ,” said Love Native Larry Par- ker, “especially the Fij.” Voting from the Fiji house was ex- ceptionally strong in support of the WASHINGTON AND LEEJLJNIKVERSITY The girls there loved our gyrating.

A tape of their act, in which they lip-sync Morris Day and the Tirne’s “Jungle Love”, was then sent to New York, according to Gerald Darrell, organizer of the contest at W&L. There it was viewed by a panel of SAMS judges,said Darrell, and was selected as one of the top six acts in the nation. The group left W&L for Daytona on March 15, according to Suiters, where they trained for two days before the final competition. Aside from some extensive tanning and lifting, the group had a chance to perform their act at Daytona’s 701 club the night before Sunday’s final, according to Suiters. With that performance under their belts the Love Natives felt comforta- ble, said Suiters, and when it came time to perform in front of the camera they weren’t nervous at all. “Once we saw everyone else’s acts [Saturday night] we knew we had a Love Natives, left to right: Kirk Sohonage, Larry Parker, Tyler Suiters, LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA Jim Ambrosini, Dan Bevil, Hayward Lee.

Society. « it For the Love Natives, the road to ‘ the national championship was a long good chance at winning,” said Love Native Kirk Sohonage. “We were just anxious to get out there and do our thing,’ ’ said Suiters. Once their performance was over the group knew they had done well. . “We, felt , great, about it,”. said Suiters. “We knew we did a great job.” “The girls there loved our gyrat- ing,” said “lead singer” Jim Ambro- sini. “The women were just throwing themselves at us.’ ’ ' When the announcement was made that they had won, none of the Love Natives were particularly surprised. “No one was going to beat us, we knew that ” said Parker, “although we were a little afraid of the Go-Gos [the group from the University of Alaba- ma], they were big and intimidating.” “The group from Akron which didn’t perform might have given us a run for the money,” said Sohonage. According to Suiters, the Akron group was there for the competition, but could not perform because MTV couldn’t get the rights to their song “Summer Lovin” from the Grease soundtrack. Meanwhile, the reactions back in Lexington to the Love Native victory were very emotional. “The exuberance we all felt was somewhat akin to winning the World Series, the Superbowl and the NCAA basketball championship all wrapped. in one,” said Nash. “Just the realization that we were national champs-it was incredible,” said Fiji pledge Matt Cook. “Everybody was really pumped,” added Johnson. “We were all so proud to be Fijis.” For the Love Natives, one of their biggest thrills came in representing W&L, according to Ambrosini. “I think our victory was good for the school,” said Ambrosini. “How many times does a small school like W&L get represented on national television? ’ ’. . . “It’s not just a victory for us,” add- ed Suiters. “It’s a victory for the whole school.” The Love Natives said they also en- joyed meeting a number of television personalities who were in Daytona, especially MTV V-J Julie Brown. “I could tell the first time Julie and Law School is among nation’s top 25 ,, J c o .By Tracy Thornblade Staff Reporter Washington and Lee’s Law School was ranked 25th in a recent survey of the best law schools in the United States, according to the March 19 issue of U.S. News and World Report. The 175 American Bar Association- ,, accredited schools that award J.D. degrees were included in the survey, which picked Yale as O the number one law school in the nation. The survey, which was conducted by the l Washington office of Market Fact, Iric., and , which included surveys of business, medical and engineering schools in addition to schools 5 of law, were compiled for U.S. News during the winter of "1989-90. Schools were ranked based on their degree of student selectivity, placement rates after graduation, instructional resources available to students, and their academic reputation among other schools and law firms around the country. Overall rankings were determined by converting the scores for each attribute into percentiles and weighting the scores accordingly. The highest total score was labeled a “I00,” and the other schools were ranked by converting their scores to a percentage of the top school's score. Randall Bezanson, dean of the W&L Law School,‘ said he was contacted by U.S. News several months ago and asked to send some objective data about the school. Bezanson said he did not hear from U.S. News again until he received a press release of the survey results Friday. Bezanson said when he was first contacted by U.S. News he was not all that impressed by the undertaking. Nationally, law schools are so diverse with respect to size and structure that it is really difficult to make comparisons, he said. However, considering that this is the first survey of this nature that U.S. News has conducted, the magazine did, in his estimation, “A pretty good job basing their evaluations on a number of factors.” W&L’s Law School is by far the smallest of the institutions included in the top 25. Most of the larger, public institutions are affiliated with public research institutes, which enhance their reputations, Bezanson said. Washington and Lee warranted its rank strictly on the basis of its own merit, he said. The U.S. News rankings will have little effect on admissions at W&L, Bezanson said. “Washington and Lee’s Law School is already widely regarded as a uniquely fine, small law school. The survey results only confirm this fact,” he said. John Falk, president of the W&L Student Bar Association, said the rankings could have some impact on students at the law school, particularly as they search for jobs. The study confirms the quality of W&L and enhances graduates’ potential for finding a job with a top firm, he explained. , . , . .. ‘Sphomore sensation Washington and Lee pitcher Steve Momorella unloads against Ham- .,pen—Sydney Wednesday. in three complete games this season, the sophomore right-hander has given up only four earned runs.

The rising sophomore class elected Joshua MacFarland with 182 votes and Kirk Ogden with 172. Incumbent Sean Gatewood lost the EC race with 151 votes — Robert Wilson rallied 132. Rising sopho- mores returned Richard Burke to the presidency with 197 votes to Donald “Chip” Ridge’s 141, and Jeremy Carroll to the vice presidency with 189 votes to Jean-Paul Boulee’s 158. Voters from the the rising sophomore class numbered 353. At the EC's Monday night meet- ing, EC President Willard Dumas thanked all candidates for running. “The student body appreciates the time you put in,” he said. After an informal vote Monday night, the EC decided to extend the deadline for White Book Revisions Committee applications to tomorrow, March 23. Cl Please see EC page 3 DG accepts plan, to try again By Alisann McGloin Staff Reporter Delta Gamma National Rep- resentatives have responded to the Panhellenic Council of Washington and Lee University ,by' approving a proposal for Delta Garrirna’s coloniza- tion and acknowledging W&L’s Delta Gamma Interest Group, according to Panhellenic President Nancy Mitchell. “We’re looking forward to working with Delta Gamma in their estab- lishment at Washington and Lee,” Mitchell said. Delta Ganirna’s acceptance of the Parihelleriic proposal enables the PHC to acknowledge the legitimacy of the Delta Gamma Interest Group, which had petitioned the PHC for a voice on the council. Vicki Nixon, Delta Ga- mma National Director of Expansion, agreed with the PHC that the interest group should be allowed to have a voice, but not a vote, on the PHC until colonization. In response to the group’s official acceptance by Parihel- lenic, a DGIG representative was pre- sent at the PHC meeting Tuesday night. - The PHC will also allow initiated Delta Gamma s to have Contact with this interest group until its coloniza- tion.

VMI faculty say yes to coeducafion By Jason Kelley Staff Reporter Sixty—three percent of Virginia Military Institute faculty members re- sponding to a poll favored admitting women to the all—malc school, but a majority of them also support State Attorney General Mary Sue Terry's efforts to defend the single sex policy. According to a news release from Blair Tumor, president of VMI’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors, most of the respondents who favored admitting women were in favor of Tcrry’s legal battle with U.S. Attorney General Dick Thornburgh, who had set a Feb. 20 deadline for VMI to agree to admit women or face a sex dis- crimination lawsuit. Several of those instructors who favored Tcrry’s lawsuit but also fa- vored admitting women felt that deciding the matter in court would “at least clarify the legal issue,” Turner said. Terry's suit, filed in the U.S. district court in Richmond on Feb. 5, claims that VMI’s exclusion of women is constitutional under the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 “Admission of women to the VMI undergraduate program is not necessary to provide equal op- portunities for women within the Virginia system of higher education,” the lawsuit said. A similar survey was done at Washington and Lee in 1984, before it began admitting women. At that time, over 65 percent of the faculty members who responded to a poll by a sociology class said that they “stro— ngly believed that W&L should be- come a coeducational institution.” A majority of instructors at the time believed that coeducation “would be in the best interests of W&L with regard to attracting aca- D Please see VMI page 3 OCR::/Vol_089/WLURG39_RTP_19900322/WLURG39_RTP_19900322_002.2.txt Cultural diversity, at what sacrifice? Last Wednesday, a panel convened to discuss multi- culturalism at Washington and Lee. Most of the panelists « seemed to agree that the university is taking steps in the V right direction, but there is room for improvement. James Rambeau, president of the Minority Student Association, said he believed the school could do more. Dean Kenneth Ruscio, representing the university, said, “greater diversity is an opportunity,” and “we must dedicate ourselves to making every person in the W&L community feel at home.” Equally important as attracting minorities to the faculty, "A is attracting women to the faculty. Some candidates might be wary of the student attitudes. Others may not like ' faculty attitudes. In this case, W&L itself was the barrier _ to attracting a woman. ‘ The journalism department has just added a new ' faculty member for next year. Toward the end of their search, the field of candidates had been narrowed to four —— two men and two women. Brian Richardson accepted the position last week. The field of women narrowed itself. One of the woman candidates decided W&L and Lexington were not for her. She preferred a larger school 3 in a larger setting. If the size of Lexington and ._ Washington and Lee frighten candidates away, what other characteristics of the town and school might prohibit attracting qualified people? Should Washington and Lee hire less-qualified minority and women candidates just to have them on the staff? No. Should Washington and Lee diversify the perspective of the faculty by hiring minorities and women? Yes, if the candidate’s different perspective makes up for the lost experience. Much can be said for a diverse faculty, and the same , is true of making the whole community comfortable, but the first objective of recruiting both faculty and students should be their potential to excel in their fields. The Fij On the subject of cultural diversity, the Exotic, Erotic, Narcotic Fiji Love Natives deserve a Laurel, and Hardy handshake for their stellar performance in Daytona Beach. Those who say their win speaks well of the school are right. Way to go guys. Yo! LETTERS The Fijis say thanks Now that we've returned from our national tour, we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Washington and Lee who watched and voted for the Fij on Sunday. We were really quite amazed at the number of people who said they called in for us. Some of them are going to have some pretty big phone bills next month. Nevertheless, it was a close contest and all your votes helped make ' the difference for us. We would have won by a bigger margin if Sohonage thrusted in synch (just kidding, Kirk). All in all, the trip was a total blast and intellectually stimulating, not to mention a few other stimulations. We were psyched to win and could not have done so without the support from our school and feel its a victory for all of us, although we're keeping the car. Thanks again everyone.

Yes read- er, today’s youth are in such serious trouble that they leave us only two possible alternatives: either we kill them and throw them, along with their electronic big wheels, into the Grand Canyon or I write a long serious article chastising them but offering no solutions. Since we have neither the time nor the inclination to haul all of America's youngsters off to Arizona, it looks like we’d better settle for the article. To begin with, our elementary school kids are really stupid. Now back when I was in elementary school (10 years ago), educators were talking about how we were playing kickball while kids in Japan were de- signing computer chips, so everyone agreed that we were pretty stupid. But nowadays kids are so stupid that educators, having forgotten the Japa- nese, now compare American youth with domestic reptiles. According to these professional educators, many of whom are them- selves reptiles, Johnny, who is the average American 10-year-old, doesn’t know what state he lives in or the difference between water and dirt or that his name is Johnny. In compari- son, Guadalupe, who is the average 10-year-old Iguana house pet, knows his name well enough to come when you call him in from the backyard for his piano lessons. The mentioning of Guadalupe’s piano lessons has presented a perfect transition to our next big subject: music. Ten to 15 years ago, disco music was the big craze and everyone who was even remotely cool owned a strobe light and a collection of disco singles. This is a pretty embar- rassing fact but at least everyone got over it. But kids these days are get- ting into something that they’ll proba- bly never get over: New Kids On The Block, which is a group of pre-pubes- cent males who dance like John Travolta on speed and dress like transvestites. The ideal evening for the typical 12-year-old girl is to go to a New Kids concert, scream at the top of her lungs, and rip off her clothing. Sure, women did the same thing for Elvis, but that was different because Elvis was cool. At least he was full grown. The New Kids have at least five years before they even have to shave. Our only hope is that they lose their popularity when their voices change during puberty or that they get heavi- ly into drugs during high school and quit singing. Perhaps the worst problem with the youth of today concerns the tele- vision. When I was younger and spending the majority of the day rot- ting my brain with television, at least I watched good programs. With clas- sic heroes like Woody Woodpecker, the Three Stooges and Tarzan, I was inculcated with the positive values of throwing food, drinking beer anti”. 0 having a good time with scantily clad women like Jane. Kids today have television heroes like the Smurfs and Pee Wee Her- man, whose sexual orientation is questionable. While the Smurfs seem heterosexual (though its debatable because there’s only one female member in the group) they live in an unrealistic egalitarian communal com- munity. If Woodie the Woodpecker spent a day with the Smurfs, he’d probably steal everything, have his way with Smurfette and drive the other smurfs, even Happy Smurf, to suicide. Because of the fact that my pet iguana, Guadalupe, has just reminded me that Woody the Woodpecker is now on television, I am compelled to end this article immediately. If any readers have young siblings, I suggest that they lock them up in a room with Cheerios, Led Zeppelin albums and Three Stooges videotapes and leave them there until they grow up. Or, if you have time, take them on a little trip to the Grand Canyon.

The Ring-tum Phi Post Office Box 899 Lexington, Virginia 24450 Ortega is still better than Samoza MY VIEW By Alan Heinrich In her “My View” last week, Ms. Spreng was certainly correct to point out that moral outrage sometimes blurs one’s reason. However, a greater threat to one’s rational judgement is the eagerness to interpret important events based on ideological agendas — agendas developed not for the purpose of understanding the truth, but for perpetuating fundamentally unjust and undemocratic power structures. Both she and Mr. Brubaker demonstrate this unseemly eagerness in their columns. Both Ms. Spreng and Mr. Brubaker seem to have misplaced over 100 years of history by suggesting that Nicaraguan poverty was a Sandi- nista invention. Though enjoying low inflation, high agricultural rates and a healthy trade surplus, in the twilight of Somoza’s Nicaragua there_ were over 200,000 landless peasants throughout the country. The fact that the Somoza family owned 15 percent of all the land in Nicaragua gives poignant insight into the realities of the time, illustrating the ephemerality of so many economic indicators when the distribution of resources is as askew as it is in Central America. Although Ms. Spreng agrees with me that “there has been much to indict" in U.S. relations with Nicaragua, she fails to see two very important facts: 1. Relations with Sorrioza were not an isolated and unfortunate incident — rather, they were part of a systematic policy of interventionism, militarism and dependen- cy; and 2. There has not been official recognition of — much less, repentance for - this policy; in fact, it continues to this day. Therefore, there is ample reason to harbor deep suspicions regarding this latest chapter in the United States’ affront to Nicaraguan sovereignty. Let's take a closer look at the history of this system. Since the 19th century, Latin America has figured in the North American scheme of things in one simple way: as the cheapest possible suppli- er of natural resources. The latter part of that century saw the United States and Britain hood- wink Central Americans with various railroad swindles, culminating in the staggering accumula- tion of property by Minor Keith’s infamous United Fruit Company. Ever since those times, the United States has viewed Central America with that peculiar possessiveness the only word for which is imperialism. Let me illustrate this. In March of 1950, George Kennan —- a high-level State Department official, formulator of “containment theory,” which provided the major theoretical justification for Viet- nam, yet was a theory which he first developed under the name of “Mr. X” (presumably ashamed to sign his name to it) — had a meeting with U.S. Latin American ambassadors in Rio de Janeiro. During this meeting, Kennan outlined U.S. policy objectives in Latin America. The first of such objectives was “the protection of our raw materi- als." I needn't comment on the force of the pos- sessive adjective here. Kennan concluded, “The final answer might be an unpleasant one, but... we should not hesitate before police repression by the local government... It is better to have a strong regime in power than a liberal government if it is indulgent and relaxed and penetrated by the Com- munists.” The Latin American people themselves could have dem- ocracy only if they chose their leaders from within the pool of candidates accept- able to the United States. The force of Kennan’s statement, of course, is that the parameters of the Latin American political spectrum are to be set by the United States. The Latin American people themselves could have democracy only insofar as they chose their leaders from within the pool of candidates acceptable to the United States. That is, Latin American sover- eignty was to be undermined as a matter of policy. In fact, the United States has not strayed from the course that Kennan outlined. In 1954, the Eisenhower Administration planned and funded the overthrow of the Arbenz government of Guatemala — which came to power through one of the fairest and most open and democratic elections in that nation’s history. Thanks to the agrarian reform legislation of Arbenz — which was to redistribute only the unused portions of the United Fruit Company’s ill-gotten land holdings, for which they were to be compensated by the government — Washington began to cry in unison: “Communist!" The incoherence of this reasoning can be seen in the remark which John Peurifoy, the U.S. ambassador to the country, made to a Guatemalan official shortly before the invasion: “Agrarian reform had been instituted in China... China is today a Communist country.” Since then, Guate- mala has witnessed a bloodbath. Less dramatically, the United States has had El Salvador militarized to the point where there is no possibility of an Arbenz ever coming to power: as the October bombing of the headquarters of the labor union FENESTRAS demonstrates, political opposition is swiftly eradicated by the army — the same army that has received over $4 billion of U.S. aid over the past 10 years. For Ms. Spreng, Carter apparently represented a change in such policy. Rebutting my assertion that Carter actually continued the great U.S. tradi- tion of “philotyranticism” with regard to Somoza, Ms. Spreng responds, “Even Henry Kissinger stated that ‘the Jimmy Carter Administration active- ly participated in the overthrow of the Somoza government.’ ” (Even Henry Kissinger?? What does that mean? Ms. Spreng is well aware that Kissinger is a Republican crony). However, when Kissinger accused Carter of helping to topple Somoza, what he really meant was that Carter did not embrace the murderer with the same enthusi- asm as did past presidents. It is true that Cages‘ temporarily cut Somoza off from U.S. economic aid after the most horrifying human rights abuses were reported. But it was soon restored. Just two months before Somoza was driven from Nicaragua forever, Carter helped Somoza receive a $66 million loan from the International Monetary Fund. Ms. Spreng must think that Carter intended to drive Somoza out of Managua by beating him with dollar bills. Thus, Carter no less than other presi- dents bears responsibility in the $1.5 billion debt Somoza left behind: a figure that dwarfs Carter’s aid packages to the Sandinistas. None of this is to suggest that Ortega is a great guy. But it is doublethirik at its worst to equate him with Somoza: Ortega may be a bully, but Somoza was a murderer. More importantly, Mr. Ortega’s actions are not done in my name. Why are Ms. Spreng and Mr. Brubaker so outraged by the sorry state of things in Nicaragua, when our government has been funding armies whose abuses of human rights make Ortega and his men look like Jeffersonians? This funding is conducted by leaders who claim to be representing us: that makes us all accomplices to murder.

Sophomore Mike Adams is in the final stages of completing a com- puter program that creates bibliogra- phies and outlines, writes in foreign languages, unnoticeably lengthens papers, scrambles confidential doc- uments and allows the user to “talk” to the computer in plain English. He expects the program to be released next month, Adams has written his program, called Thesys, to work in conjunc- tion with the WordPerfect word pro- cessing program. He said he plans to begin selling the program in about three weeks here on the W&L cam- pus and across the nation. Adams, who is currently on leave from the university to complete the project, said that Thesys will sell for $50 retail, but W&L students will probably be getting a discount. “Advance sales from other uni- versities and businesses will already allow me to return to W&L without parental financial support,” he said. The program can create bibliogra- phies in any of the four recognized standard forms. It takes entries from different types of sources and orders, punctuates, spaces and alphabetizes them in a few seconds. In a demonstration, the program ordered and alphabetized a bibliogra- phy with 171 entries in just three seconds. Thesys also creates outlines by setting up the format and automati- cally placing entries. For students, though, the most exciting feature is that Thesys will almost unnoticeably expand the size of a paper by up to 25 percent. By altering the spacing between certain letters and characters within words (a process called keming) the program can make a 10 page paper fill 12 pages without any noticeable sign of alteration. In some applications of the pro- gram, the user is able to “command” the computer without using the tech- nical prograrnrning language. The user could type in “Please set the right margyn [yes, misspelled] to about three inches,” and the comput- er would be able to understand and execute the request. Adams said, “This feature makes it a convenient program for the non- technical user. It’s pretty much idiot proof.” Adams said he has spent approxi- mately 2,500-3,000 hours writing the program. His parents provided the more than $11,000 it has cost to get in- struction manuals, a cover design, and the computer diskettes printed, he said. Adams decided to develop and market his program idea on his own. The president of WordPerfect corpo- ration encouraged him to do so even though WordPerfect does not itself develop programs from sources other than their own research and develop- ment department. Adams said he has representatives at W&L who are helping him sell the program, and he hopes to get one student from each state to help him sell Thesys to universities all over the country. The program still has some bugs and is being proofread by W&L German Professor Robert Young- blood, who is an expert on biblio- graphical resources and who has been a major contributor to well known bibliography style manuals. Adams hopes to have the copy- righted program ready for release within three weeks, but he said he would rather make sure that all the problems are ironed out and release it late rather than have users encounter problems.- Thesys also allows the user to type with characters from four differ- ent foreign languages and to use scientific symbols not present on the regular WordPerfect keyboard. Adams said he discovered using WordPerfect macros (groups of com- mands defined by the user in the program) to create his own programs last summer while working as a programmer at the Army Institute of Chemical Defense. Even though he failed Computer Science 111, he says the approachto programming logic and management that he learned in Computer Science 110 was an invaluable tool in allow- ing him to create Thesys. Adams has plans for follow-up programs. but does not want the nature of these disclosed because he fears that competitors, especially large software companies, will be able do develop these ideas faster than he can. Adams said he lost his enitire program in mid-January because his diskette went bad. Because he did not have a back-up disk, he said he had to reprint the whole program from his memory and the minimal notes he had been keeping. Adams said his real interest is not programming, but foreign language literature. He said he would like to get a doctorate in one of the romance languages and be a college professor. MSA to hold weekend conference By Cathy Lopiccolo Staff Reporter Minority students, prospective students and alurrmi will gather this weekend for Washington and Lee's second Minority Student/Alumni Co erence. vxccording to James Rambeau, . ,.- ;Sid6I1[ of the Minority Students 0 1 T C «it Association, the purpose of the con- ference is to bring the alumni closer to current students and the campus in general. “In the past several years we've found that minority alumni have not returned to campus or have been less active than other alunmi. A confer- ence of this sort is to bring the alum- ni closer and to generate interest in what’s going on,” Rambeau said. In addition to current students and alumni, 22 prospective minority stu- dents have been invited to participate in the weekend activities, according to Rambeau. The prospective students arrived today and attended a reception this afternoon where they had the oppor- tunity to meet current W&L students, especially members of the Student Recruitment Committee, Rambeau said. Tomorrow the students will attend classes and have interviews with the Admissions Office and pro- fessors who teach subjects in which they are interested. Two panel discussions are sched- uled for tomorrow afternoon after the 12-18 expected alumni arrive. “The alumni will participate in a panel discussion on the significance of a Washington and Lee education and what it can do for the students. They can give their perspective on student life during their own time,” Rambeau said. ' The deans of students will con- duct a second discussion on campus life in general, and a reception for alumni and students is planned for that evening. While the prospectives are being interviewed Saturday morning, Anece McCloud, Associate Dean of Students for Minority and International Affairs, will chair a discussion with current VMI from page 1 demically qualified students.” However a majority of both stu- dents and alumni responding to that poll felt that W&L should not be- come coeducational, citing costs and a loss of distinctiveness as the two major disadvantages of admitting women to the school. According to Tumer’s report, some of the faculty responding to the VMI poll who opposed coeducation were openly hostile to those who supported it. One professor suggested that any faculty member who did not agree with VMl’s admissions policy should leave the college; another stated that simply taking the poll on the issue was a disservice to VMI. Other respondents believed “the By, Karsten Amlie What do you think of F constitutional issued were clear, that women had to be allowed admission to the state school,” according to Turner. Many faculty members commented that admitting women would mitigate some of what the respondents per- ceived as abusive practices in the barracks. A spokesman for VMI said the school probably would have no offi- cial comment on the poll, and Tur- ner’s statement said the AAUP is not a part of the school administration. “Its actions and opinions can not be interpreted as constituting any part of VMI’s official position,’ ’ according to the release. students and alumni on recent campus events. That night the MSA is spon- soring a dinner-dance and band in the General Headquarters for the minority students and alumni. The weekend activities will end Sunday morning with an informal brunch in the University Center be- fore the prospective students leave campus. While prospective minority stu- dents will continue to visit the cam- pus annually, Rambeau said after this year, the Minority Students/Alumni Conference will be held only every four years. EC from page 1 The deadline, originally set at March 12, was last week extended to March 19, because the EC had re- ceived only 12 applications including only two from the undergraduate campus. First-year law Rep. Julie Alagna said that not enough notices were posted at the Law School, and some law students did not know that the applications were due. EC Vice President Jonathan Sheinberg feared that extending the application process further might not give the committee time to accom- plish something this year. He also noted that most of the applications received were from law students. Applicants must sign up for an interview outside University Center Coordinator Carol Calkins’ office. Cold Check Committee Chairman James Rambeau presented a budget report to the EC. The Cold Check Committee cur- rently stands in deficit by $349.82, according to the report, but expects to recover $668.99 from liabilities, yielding a positive net balance of $319.17. Rambeau reported that $73.50 of $113.50 in fines has been collected, with one fine outstanding. The Cold Check Committee was unable to cover some checks written by an international student from Ke- nya who has withdrawn from school, according to Rambeau. Assistant Dean of Students Kenneth Ruscio plans to contact the former student’s family with a list of debts. Sophomore EC Rep. Caroline Wight reminded Rambeau that the EC voted that the Cold Check Committee levy no fine less than $5 so that students would take fines more seri- ously. Fines as low as_$2 were previ- ously levied. Rambeau added that he would soon resign from his post as chair- man so that he may participate in the Washington Term Program. He rec- ommended that the EC consider Cold Check Committee Secretary Robert- Shelton to fill the chairman post. The Fancy Dress Committee post- poned their budget hearing until next Monday. Sheinberg said the FD Com- mittee’s financial totals will be more definite by then. Liberty Hall Volunteers did not appear for their budget hearing. The EC unanimously voted to freeze their account. The Minority Student Association and the Volleyball Club will present budget reports to the EC next Mon- day.

Aside from the 16 members of the interest group, there will also be initiated members of Delta Gamma present from other uni- versities such as James Madison Uni- versity. According to the agreement be- tween DG and the PHC, Delta Gamma will have the opportunity to begin co- lonization as early as next fall. This colonization is plarmed to be as close as possible to the men's fall rush dates. Following colonization, DG will also have the option to “contin- uous open bid,” accepting pledges at any time following the formal coloni- zation period through Dec. 5, 1990.

Quota, the number of bids each group are each able to give out during the formal rush period, will be split four ways, Mitchell said. Delta Ga- mma will not be required to include the girls who are interested in coloniz- ing before winter rush in its quota, al- lowing DG to give out the same num- bcr of bids as the other three sororities during formal rush. PHC also agreed that following Winter Rush, only Delta Gamma should have the opportunity to “con- tinuous open bid.” Each of the three sororities willingly consented to this limitation since all three chapters were well over “total,” Mitchell said.

' The Generals finished second to g1Old Dominion Athletic Conference rival Bridgewater College, perhaps ‘their toughest opponent this year. The men were able to outpoint other ODAC foes Eastern Mennonite and 4Roanoke College. The final tally for the men on the day was BC 80, rW&L 50, EMC 33, RC 6. There were a number of first ’place finishers for head coach Norris ,Aldridge. Senior tri-captain Wes Boyd was a double winner, finishing first 4 in both the 100 meter and 200 meter rdashes. Senior Scott Williams won the 400 meter run, junior tri-captain lDavid Martin won the 1500 meter \ run, and sophomore Charles Edwards "finished ahead of the pack in the t 5000 meter run. The lone field event winner was senior tri-captain Phillip Sampson in the pole vault. 4 The Generals also experienced a little bad luck as junior Carl Gilbert ‘ could not compete because of a I0't@N0“0'-'0'!

Said A]- dridge, “Carl’s absence hurt us be- cause he gets a lot of points for the team.” The extent of Gilbert’s injury is not yet certain, and Aldridge is taking no chances. Gilbert will not run this weekend at the Liberty Invi- tational. The women had a very impressive day as well losing by only eleven points to John Carroll University, but handily defeated Easterh Mennonite, Bridgewater, and Roanoke. The women’s final results were JCU 87, W&L 76, EMC 34, BC 6, RC 0. Senior co-captain Beth Stutzmann won four individual events to lead the Generals, including helping the 4x100 relay team break a school record. Juniors Sandi Dudley and Lisa Jay also contributed to the strong team performance. Dudley won the javelin and Jay was the discus throw winner. Head coach John Tucker noted junior co-captain Sarah Bolte’s fine performance in her 400 meter school record breaking performance and her leg in the 4x100 meter relay. This weekend the men travel to the Liberty Invitational facing mostly Division II and low Division I schools. The women will travel to Davidson for the Davidson Invitation- al. ft By John Laney Staff Reporter With the scored tied at 0-0 in the fifth inning of yesterday's baseball game against Hampden-Sydney, soph- omore first baseman T.J. Daly had some advice for his Washington and Lee teammates. “You play to win, you don’t play to play,” he said, his voice loud enough for all at Smith Field to hear. Thus inspired, the Generals moun- ted two offensive threats in the sixth and seventh innings after their de- fense came up with three quick outs to halt a bases-loaded threat by the Tigers in the top of the sixth inning. Yet, W&L did not win on this day, the first full day of spring, as Hampden-Sydney (5-5) picked up runs in the seventh and eighth in- nings to escape with a 2-0 victory despite another fine pitching per- formance by sophomore Steve Momo- rella. It was W&L’s fourth loss by two runs or less this season. The loss dropped the Generals’ record to 2-5, 0-3 in the Old Domin- ion Athletic Conference. In a week’s schedule shortened by poor weather, . W&L’s only other game was a 7-5 defeat against Eastern Mennonite this past Thursday. Saturday's double- header against Randolph-Macon was rained out. Yesterday, Harnpden—Sydney, the defending ODAC champions, loaded the bases in the sixth on a hit bats- man and two singles. H-SC then tried a suicide squeeze, but Momorella threw the lead runner out at the plate. Tiger Third baseman Marco Pollina SPORTS NOTEBOOK From Staff Reports For the second year in a row, the entire Washington and Lee swimming contingent returned to Lexington with Division III All- America honors. Sophomore. Jay Smith could not continue his unbeaten string, but he could continue his string of All-America years. Smith fin- ished seventh in the nation in the 100-yard backstroke at nationals. Smith earned All-America honors for his top-eight finish, but he was not alone. Joining Smith was sophomore Chip Nordhoff, who earned Hon- orable Mention All-America hon- ors in both the 200 freestyle and the 200 backstroke, and the W&L freestyle relay team of Smith, Nordhoff, junior Jim Dunlevy and sophomore Doug Brown, which earned Honorable Mention All- America honors in the 200, 400 and 800 freestyle relays. The Washington and Lee men’s lacrosse team saw their three-garne winning streak snap- ped with a loss at Roanoke on Saturday and then stubbed their toes Wednesday against Lynch- burg. After falling behind 8-0 to Roanoke in the first half, the Generals could not come all the way back for the win. A second half rally fell short. The Generals had closed to 9-6 on a goal by senior Chris Mastrogiovanni, but could get no closer as the Gener- als fell ll-7. Sophomore Wiemi Douoguih led W&L with three goals and junior goalie Tom Cos- tello made 14 saves. On Wednesday, the Generals again fell behind late at Lynch- burg and had to make a come- back.

After receiving the relay throw from Durant, Daly made a perfect throw to catcher Chris Kavanagh to nail the runner at the plate for the double play. As the Generals returned to their dugout, head coach Jeff Stickley repeated I‘ tly’s words, “Play to win, don’t play 9 play.” W&L 1 an proceeded to get two of its four ‘ts when Durant lined a single to le‘ field and sophomore ' Brain Harper xlooped a single to left. They were b(; *1 stranded on base. The Genera s other scoring chance came in the SC, /enth after Kavanagh started the inning with a ground single to left field. Sophomore Pete Castiglione, running for Kavanagh, reached second on a failed pick-off attempt, but the inning ended when he was tagged out in a rundown after , rounding third base too far on senior Kirk Thompson’s single. The Tigers scored in their half of the seventh on a‘single, a stolen base coupled with a throwing error and another single. The lead increased to 2-0 in the next inning by way of an unearned run. With the loss, Momorella’s record fell to 0-3, although he now has 15 strikeouts in three complete games. Momorella was 6-0 last season. This past Thursday, W&L held a 3-2 lead over after three innings, but ended up losing 7-5. “I thought we played fairly well,” Stickley said. “But we couldn’t hold the lead and then we couldn’t score at the end. We’re getting people on base, but we‘re just not scoring effort falls short again, 2-0 them.” Eastem Mennonite scored two rtms in the fifth inning and three runs in the sixth on three doubles. W&L countered with two runs in their sixth inning and started a come- back in the eighth with the score 7- 5, but an interference call on junior Tim Wheeler, who was hit with a thrown ball while coming into second base, produced two outs. The Generals then loaded the bases when junior J.T. Swartz and Thompson got singles and senior Bobby Rimmer reached first on a throwing error. But that was as far as the threat would go and the game ' called after eight innings because of inadequate light. “I didn't think it was a very good call,” Stickley said, referring to the interference ruling. “But that's the way it goes. It didn't lose the game for us, we should have been ahead at that time.” Sophomore Pete Klingelhoffer went 2-for-4 and Kavanagh was 1- for-3 with a triple and two runs scored. “We just need to score runs when the opportunity arise and play better defensively, but that will come with playing,” Stickley said. “The next couple of weeks will tell a lot. We’re excited about play- ing,” he added. In the next couple of weeks the Generals will play a lot as yester- day's game kicked off a series of nine games in 11 days. W&L played ' at Lynchburg today and will host doubleheaders against Emory and , Henry on Saturday and Randolph- ‘ Macon on Monday. Women start season with _ six consecutive ODAC wins; By Matt Jennings Staff Reporter If the first few matches of the spring season are a gauge for how successful the Washington and Lee women’s tennis team will be this year, then the remaining Division III teams should look out. Coming off a 9-1 fall record, the Generals opened the week by soundly defeating Old Dominion Athletic Conference foes Hollins 9-0 and On Friday, the Generals faced Randolph-Macon in Ashland. The top six, consisting of junior Kelly Mar- tone, senior Teresa Southard, junior Kathy Leake, freshman Mason Smith, sophomore Brannon Aden and fresh- man Elizabeth Hancock all won, clinching the match. The doubles were cancelled due to darkness, giv- ing the Generals a 6-0 win. The Generals continued eastward trek on Saturday with a stop at Virginia Wesleyan, with the results much the same as in Ashland. W&L tumed back VWC 6-3, sparked by a three set win by Martone at No. 1. Martone pulled out the win in a tie breaker, 6-2, 3-6 7-6 (7-5). Southard, Leake and sophomore Muriel Foster, recovering from ill- ness, all followed with straight set wins, and after Smith lost a tough three set decision, Aden clinched the win with a convincing 6-0, 6-1 win.
