The hole in the ground blocking the way will Que there for a while. The future Watson Gallery, which will fill that hole, is slated for completion in February. University Coordinator of Capital Planning Frank Par- sons said the project looks behind schedule, but the pro- jected completion date has not been changed. A Until then, Parsons said, people will just have to walk around it. ‘ ‘Building the library shut down all the back campus for several years,” Parsons said. “You can endure it. It's not always pleasant, but you can’t build a building without inconvenience.” The Watson Gallery, an extension of the Reeves Center, is will house a collection of antique Chinese furniture, jade upieces and porcelain donated by Mrs. William Watson, whose husband was a 1929 W&L graduate. The collection is valued at over $6 million. Besides shifting the campus traffic patterns, Parsons said the greatest problems created by the construction site will be the noise and dust cast on the nearby buildings, the allery takes shape most affected area being the five classrooms on the fourth floor of Tucker Hall. While the most noisy and dusty phase of the project, excavation, has now been completed, air conditioners have been installed in the Tucker classrooms to combat the problem while classes are in session. Professor Laurent Boetsch, head of the Romance lan- guages department, said faculty members working in Tucker are happy with that solution. Boetsch said a planning group anticipated the noise problem last spring. “We simply would not be able to teach with the windows closed [due to the heat]," Boetsch said. “And certainly we could not leave them open due to the noise and dust." The language departments briefly considered cancel- ing all classes on Tucker's fourth floor, possibly shifting them into extra rooms in Parmly Hall and the Military Science building. But Boetsch said. that solution was rejected. Construction of the gallery, which is being funded by a separate donation from Watson, will not go- over its $800,000 budget, University Treasurer Lawrence Broomall said. ‘ ‘I’ve been told by the Board of Trustees that it won’t” go over budget, Broomall said. “Therefore, it will not.” City enters voting dispute with letter to college students on the left, workers raise the frame on the future Watson Gallery.

SEPTEMBER 10, 1992 Hughes not indicted By GREGORY PATTERSON Phi News Editor indict former W&L senior Richard Hughes on attempted rape charges. Hughes, who was a senior last year, had been charged with attempting to rape [name redacted], a 20-year-old Sweet Briar College student, on May 10 at the Phi Gamma Delta house. Hughes’ diploma was being withheld pending the completion of the case, but Dean of Students David Howison said ‘ Wednesday the faculty will prob- ably deal with the matter at its next regular meeting. Howison said ' it is formal faculty policy to withhold the degree of any student charged with a felony. In Hughes’ preliminary hearing in Rockbridge County General District Court June 30, visiting Judge James Joines denied a motion by the defense to dismiss the charges, but he told prosecutor Eric Sisler the case was not a strong one, according to local newspaper accounts.. “I’d hate to be on the jury that convicts him with the evidence that I’ve heard,” Joines said. we essrclraubaelrtestifred in-lune thatshespent theevening of May 10 at a party at the Fiji house trying to avoid Hughes, whom she already knew. Shortly after midnight, she said, Hughes, a member of Fiji, pulled her into a room, forced her onto a bed, lay on top of her and started to pull her clothes off in an attempt to have sex with her. CI W&L, SBC students react to decision. See page 6 El See HUGHES, page 6 A Rockbridge County grand jury Tuesday refused to By RICHARD PELTZ Phi Acting Executive Editor t It looked like the bitter battle between students and the _ city registrar over voter registration was finally over. Then, last Thursday, Lexington City Council threw its hat into the . ring. After a circuit-court order in May upholding City Regis- ‘ trar Lucille Joyce's refusal to register second-year law student Chris Kowalczuk to vote in Virginia, Kowalczuk filed his intent to appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court. !But that appeal died 55 days later when Kowalczuk failed to file a required statement explaining his side of the case, Rockbridge County Circuit Court Clerk Bruce Patterson . said. So the courts endorsed Joyce's decision-making. That case struck a blow to one of Mayor H.E. “Buddy” ' Derrick Jr.’s defenses of Lexington’s tax on student cars, which applies even to students who do not vote in the city. oWhen students complained about taxation without repre- ‘ sentation in the fall of 1991, Derrick said that students who M did not like the tax could register to vote and oust him from office. The City Council then adopted a policy to encourage student voting, City Manager T. Jon Ellestad said. Now the council is publishing its policy in the form of open letters in The Ring-tum Phi and the Virginia Military Institute student newspaper. . Joyce worked with Ellestad to prepare the letter, but she . later opposed City Council’s involvement in the issue. “The City Council has nothing to do with registration,” - Joyce said Tuesday. _ The letter encourages students to carefully consider vfiiere they want to register. It also tells students what questions to expect when registering. “The registrar does have the authority to ask questions beyond what the application requests,” the city’s letter says, “as long as the registrar does not single out one class of applicants such as students, young people, or a particular racial group.” The controversy about who may vote stems from, the word “domicile," which is not clearly defined in the Code of Virginia. The law puts two requirements on people seeking to vote in Virginia. They must have a “place of abode” and be domiciled where they apply. . _ In determining domicile, the law says that “consid- eration may be given” to the applicant's finan- cial independence, income taxes, marital status, parents’ residences and registration of personal property, like a car. But the decision is ultimately the local registrar’s. In Kowalczuk’s case, Joyce said he had not paid state taxes or registered his car in Virginia when he applied for residency. But Kowalczuk said in May that he is financially inde- pendent, has a Virginia driver’s license and last lived in his former home, Ohio, in 1980. Kowalczuk would not comment for this story. Thecar tax is allowed under Virginia law if the car is kept in Lexington the majority of the fiscal year. The tax is 4.25 percent of the value of the car.

Hush: ‘Not just girls and beer’ By LEIGH ALLEN Phi News Editor Ninety percent of freshman men are I expected to participate when fall Rush begins with an IFC-sponsored band in the freshman quad Friday afternoon. Interfratemity Council President Sam Rock said he expects a successful rush because of the large number of men in the freshman class. ‘ ‘It could work out to be almost 16 guys per house,” Rock said. “That's more than in the last few years.” Rock said the Rush schedule will be similar to last year's. However, Tear Night will differ from those in past years, Rock said, so as to decrease the number of injuries caused by excessive drinking. Rock saidTear Night will begin at 5 p.m. on the last Friday of Rush with an alcohol-free party where bids will be accepted, followed by a band party from 8 p.m. until midnight. IFC Vice President Tom Washmon warned fraternity members and rush- ees against violating the IFC contact rules. IFC rules prohibit contact between freshmen and fraternity members ex- cept during fonnal Rush functions and “open contact” periods. Fraternities can be lined up to $500 and a freshman could lose his rush privileges for a first-offense violation, Rock said. Rock said freshmen should keep an open mind about the houses and meet as many people as possible. “The best fraternity for you might not be the one that throws the best parties,” Rock said. “It’s not just about girls and beer." ‘ ’ Says who?

By now you have seen the front—page story on the grand jury's refusal to indict Richard Hughes on charges of attempting to rape Sweet Briar sophomore [name redacted]. This case, along with other sexual misconduct cases, has prompted us to re-evaluate our guidelines regarding the names of complainants and defen- dants in such difficult situations. In the past year, the W&L community has demonstrated that it is overwhelmingly against the disclosure of the accuser’s name in most sexual misconduct cases. Nevertheless, we favor naming accuser and accused; doing so helps to de—stigmatize rape victims and keeps the community informed. And in the interest of fairness, we carmot continue to name the accused — regardless of his guilt or innocence — while protecting the accuser in every case. If we were to do what we believe is right, we would likely lose our jobs. While we would not mind losing our jobs in defense of a principle, we must choose our battles carefully. Continuing to strengthen The Ring-tum Phi is worth a concession on this issue. Therefore we have developed a new set of guidelines, effective immediately, for sexual misconduct cases. For sake of illustration, consider the conventional case of a woman charging a man with rape. When the charge is filed, the Phi will report the accusation, but without naming either person. Naming neither is preferable to having readers assume that the man is guilty, while allowing the woman to act as an anonymous accuser. In the case of an acquittal or dismissal of charges, the Phi again will not name either person. The man will not have been proved guilty, and thus his reputation should not be injured. As long as both the man and the woman are innocent of any wrongdoing, they should receive the same treatment. And since community standards prohibit narriing the woman, we will not name the innocent man. In the case of conviction, the Phi will name the man but not the woman. We have no interest in protecting the reputations of convicted felons, so our duty to cover the courts outweighs their privacy interests. And once again, community standards prohibit naining’'the‘woman:'“' * “ ’ " ’ These are the guidelines we will use — guidelines, not rules. The guidelines apply to every case, but sometimes there are other overriding interests. In this case, telling you who plastered our campus with posters maligning the Fijis is such an interest. For weeks during last spring, a fraternity fought minors launched by an attacker they could not combat effectively. Without knowing the source of the fliers, students could not evaluate the accusations’ truth- fulness. It is for that reason — and not merely because [name redacted] brought an attempted rape charge - that we name her. The expectations of our readers told us not to publish [name redacted]'s name; that interest in most cases would outweigh our desire to de—stigmatize rape and our duty to report on the courts. In this case, however, our responsibility to name the distributor of the fliers tipped the scales in favor of publication. Recognizing that we cannot now reach our ideal of full disclosure, we regret last spring’s decision to print Hughes’ name. In the future, our crime coverage will be less informative, but more fair. Perhaps one day our community will mature to the point that we do not have to take such measures to protect innocent defendants from a presumption of guilt, and victims from an undeserved social stigma. OPINION The Ring-tum Phl, September 10, 199 Q Ellléi. El Presidente passes out the bananas WASHINGTON — The U.S.A. has begun to look, sound and act like a banana republic. It’s no joke, Mr. and Mrs. North America. Remember those crazy gov- ernments to the south who kept power by intimidating the peasants with state- of-the-art military prowess, bribing them with newly-printed government tion campaign. From his Pentagon com- mand post, Bush's defense secretary signaled that the state of Missouri will soon be producing a new batch of F15 fighters for Saudi Arabia. Cost: Another escalation in the Mid- east arms race. Benefit: 11 electoral votes.

Cost: An escalation of tensions in the China Sea. Benefit: 32 electoral votes on Nov. 3. Back in Washington, there were more salutes to the President’s re-elec- who would roll up debt upon debt year after year? Where the latest junta would create its very own instant cash using the govemment-owned printing press? Where the nervous president would keep his beloved palace by buying off the right people, while the country's real problems of unemployment, crime and social division were put off to some distant “mafiana"? Watch proud Yankee George Bush dance this number. With the 1992 budget alone $314 billion into the red, Bush told the storm- wracked people of Florida last week that the federal government is going to cover the cost of Hurricane Andrew dollar for dollar. Not the usual 75 per- cent federal share. rriind you, 100 per- cent! Where's this new U.S. money to come from? By borrowing more bil- lions on the world market, adding up more debt, more interest costs, more deficits for later generations. Cost: Impossible to calculate. When an earthquake struck Northern Califor- nia in 1989, the state and localities had to pay part of the repair job. This cre- ates an obvious incentive for local lead- ers to do some timely planning, to try and minimize the damage of future earthquakes. The Hurricane Andrew precedent means that when Hurricanes Bill or Charlie come howling, the fed- eral government will be asked to pay the full tab once again. With what? Benefit: 25 electoral votes. Bush was equally generous to the voters of Louisiana, promising to keep out sugar imports, even though An- .drew destroyed much of the domestic crop. ' Cost: The consumer gets hit with higher prices for sugar and everything it goes into. Benefit: 9 electoral votes. Next stop, South Dakota. Bush gave I wheat farmers a billion dollars in I.1eW ' export subsidies. Benefit: 3 electoral votes. Finally, the biggest election—eve bonanza of all: a promise to “index’ capital gains. Not all voters are tempted by such, temporal rewards. For them, there is that ultimate weapon of the rightfihe pulpit. Last week, we heard Vice Presi- dent Dan Quayle railing against the “adversary culture,” keeping up his daily cnisade against Hollywood, the “media elite” and other threats to the voter’s soul. .

The Ring-tum Phi Post Office Box 899 Lexington, Virginia 24450 WASHINGTON —- Trollope’s political novels have been called ideal reading for a lazy Labor Day weekend because if a breeze blows over a few pages while you nap, never mind, plunge back in. The narrative moves at such a measured pace that noth- ing much will have been missed. This presidential campaign may now be like that. Its themes are clear. A Democrat more liberal than he wants to seem, and a Republican less conservative than he wants to seem, are leading parties whose differences have narrowed, and whose ranges of politically possible policies are narrow. Liberalism developed when liberty was threat- ened by the forces of has shifted, to the disadvantage of Democrats. Watergate and Vietnam caused an erosion of confi- dence in governments. The mobility of money and businesses inhibits governments because wealth can flee currencies threatened by inflation or juris- dictions where growth is slow or government is meddlesome. So parties whose promises depend on strong government are decreasingly plausible. Further- more, long recessions and slow growth increase individual anxiety and decrease social solidarity, thereby weakening society’s support for collective actions. On the other hand, aspects of both order -- state or church. economic vigor and its absence can Today'people feel more GEORGE WILL help Democrats.

Now that (since last October) government jobs oumumber manufacturing jobs in America, an insufficiency of government is not seen as the problem. The Democratic Party's change of mind — its movement toward the center — reflects recognition that it cannot win the presidency by changing the composition of the electorate. That is, it cannot win by mobilizing non-voters among the poor and mi- norities. Political scientist Ruy Teixeira of the . Brookings Institution calculates that if turnouts by blacks, Hispanics and poor whites had each been 20 percent higher in every state Bush won in 1988, Dukakis still would have lost by 102 electoral votes. Over the last 30 years America's political center corporations shrank by 4 million jobs and from 58 percent of industrial output to 42 percent. Rapid change generates stress, and thus generates support- ers, and thus generates stress, and thus generates supporters for a liberal party that equates any social distress with “victimization" and a failure of gov- ernment to enforce “faimess.” The Bush recession was especially unsettling, for three reasons. First, it came after the long - ninety-two month — Reagan expansion which had convinced people that business cycles are products of government mistakes that government should know how to avoid. Second, Bush's recession came at the end of a low-saving decade, when people felt particularly vulnerable. Third, it came when the elite white collar component of the work force was larger than ever. The recession involved much prun- ing of middle management jobs, so articulate and assertive components of the electorate (including jour- nalists) were anxious. The weakening of social solidarity, the erosion of confidence in government and the increase in anxiety have made the issue of taxation paramount. Duringghe second World War an Irving Berlin lyric was: " You see those bombers in the sky? Rockefeller helped to build them. So did I. In war Americans were shoulder-to-shoulder. To-’ day they are throwing elbows, especially about taxa- tion. , The issue of taxation arose among English-spe?ik- ing (sort—ot) people l,0()0 years ago under King Ethelred the Unready, in connection with the Danegeld, an armual tax for the defense of the realm— actually, to pay tribute to the marauding Danes. Today George the Implausible is promising a tax cut that Congresswill .4. v not deliver, to be balanced by spending cuts his own ‘ party will not countenance. Clinton promises to bl.1l ld a New Jerusalem by squeezing millionaires until they squeak. But considering that a hefty $4 trillion will be spent on private consumption this year, it is odd for conser- vatives to argue that any tax increase Congress is apt to impose on individuals will radically reshape the economy. It is equally implausible for liberals toflay that Clinton's policy (management efficiencies, gov- ernment spending to increase growth, and never a discouraging word for the middle class that has most of America's money) will alter the deficit that paralyzes and disgraces government. So if you nap for now, you will have no trouble picking up the thread of this year's by-now famiflar political narrative. City spells out voting registration regulations * To the Editor, domicile. abode does not necessarily determine tions you may have concerning your It is the position of the Lexington City Council to encourage any stu- dents who are legally entitledto vote in the City of Lexington under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and wish to do so, to register with the City to vote. Registration Procedures Any individual may apply for voter registration with the City Registrar, 300 E. Washington Street, the county Registrar in the basement of the Court- house on East Washington Street,(this office has an entrance on Washington Street across from the frame shop) or at any of the special registration sites. Each individual will first be asked if Lexington is their home and if they are registeredelsewhere. Applicants should note that the question refers to their current domicile which may ormay not be the same as their parents. A new domicile is not attained until the until the old one is abandoned. A person demonstrates in the way in which he conducts his life which of the places of abode available to him is his domicile although length of stay at a place of If Lexington is not your home, but you do reside within the Common- wealth of Virginia, you may apply for voter registration and your application will be forwarded to the proper juris- diction for processing, If Lexington is indeed your home then an applicant must complete a Vir- ginia voter registration Application list- ing the following: full name, including the maiden and any other prior legal name; age; date and place of birth; social security number, if any; whether the applicant is presentlyaUnited States citizen; address and place of abode and date of residence in the precinct; place of any previous registrations to vote; and weather the applicant as ever been adjudicated to be mentally incompe- tent or convicted of a felony, and if so, under what circumstances the applicant’s right to vote has been re- stored.'I'his card is then signed and the individual takes an oath under penalty of perjury that the information pro- vided is accurate. The registrar will answer any ques- application to register. The registrar has the right to determine if any appli- cant meets the requirements set froth in the Constitution of Virginia and the Code of Virginia.

Every year y'all do the same thing. You get so excited that you are the center of attention of the sopho- mores and juniors and seniors, that you deliberately forget you freshmen coun- terparts. Guess what? It’s time to pay. You’re no longer the center of atten- tion, and guys do not forget. You will be cast off, left alone to wallow in your own pity, and drink beer with all your girl friends. Don’t get me wrong; you may get lucky with some freshman guy, but that’s about it. Hey, what can I say? You deserve it. So freshman girls, pay attention. Go out with the upperclassmen. We’re much more fun anyway,.but don’t treat the guys like the pledges they are.

Another example: “State Police —— Next Right.” This sign should read: “Slow Down — there's a cop around this next bend.” Fortunately, my driving time in New Jersey is short. Onward into Pennsylvania! Pennsylvania is a very thought-provoking state. It’s very easy to get completely bored and lose yourself in thought here. For instance —— on I-78 on the left — hand side, there is a Keebler cookie factory. About 1000 feet down the road is a Stroh’s brewery. One might wonder- do the workers at Keebler ever go over to the brewery trying to swap boxes of E.L. Fudge for a keg? It boggles the mind.

Everyone slows down on the interstate because a roving pack of state troopers has been spotted driving pink Miatas with little green alligators sewn on the bumpers. They pull me over right after I cross the Mason—Dixon line so that they might check my car for drugs and tasteless clothing. People don’t believe me when I say that Southern prejudice against Northemers begins right when you cross “the line.” If you were to straddle it, you would see the IROCs with handguns in their glove compartments on one side and the armed pickup trucks on the other. These vehicles never cross the line.

Finally, I reach the state in which my destination lies.

WORTH By Dr. James Worth The “Ask Dr. Worth” column will return to The Ring- tum Phi this fall every other week. Since itis too early for me to have received any questions yet, I asked a Phi staff member for some ideas. She suggested I say something about social pressures here at W&L, especially with regard to the incoming freshmen. It has seemed to me that from a social standpoint the fall term at W&L is, particularly for freshmen, the best of all times and the worst of all times.It is the best of all times (at least so far in your life) for many exciting reasons. You are in an incredibly beautiful community, surrounded by bright and attractive people your own age, and given more social freedom than you've ever had before. Our campus traditions emphasize socializing, partyingandhavingfun,aswell sports or on the social scene, everyone is seeking suc- cess. Not everyone can come in first. Do your best, but don’tbediscouraged if success does elude youoccasion- ally this fall. It's OK not to have a date, not to get in the house you wanted, not to have an A on the first English paper, even if you were a standout high school student in every way. Dig in for the long haul and by the time you are a junior and a senior you'll have your share of victories. If you are a female: (1) You, too, are going to be nished this fall by the upperclassmen, but in a little different way than fresh- man guys. That's not necessarily bad. Still, you need to make good decisions, decisions which are self-esteem- ing. Don’t let yourself become an item on someone else’s agenda. (2) There is a lot of alcohol at W&L. You will have plenty of opportunities to drink. If you decide to abstain . you will avoid many potential as academic excellence. From the earliest mixers, to the Fancy Dress Ball next winter, to the lush (pun only partially in- tended) days of springtime in the Shenandoah Valley, this is a school where working hard really is combined with the op- portunity to play hard as well. But as they say, every rose has a few thoms. Freshmen are Center. Questions to Dr. Worth can be submitted in person or anony- mously to either Room 128 of the University Center or to Carol Calkins in the University problems, but the truth is not everyone will make that deci- sion. If you decide to drink here, then keep in mind how vulnerable you are if you be- come intoxicated. The decision to drink self- protectively must be made in advance, not after your 5th beer. If you are going to drink, try to have female friends with you who will be sober enough to uniquely vulnerable to a vari- ety of stresses, pressures and outright dangers, which through lack of experience they may be unaware. Some of these may be unique to W&L, but most, if in fact not all, of them are encountered on every other American campus. My sense is that freshman males don't always face the same vulnerabilities as freshman females so I will sepa- rate the genders as I make these reflections. If you are a male: (1) By all means avail yourself of the Rush activities that present themselves to you if you are so inclined, but keep it in perspective. Being a member of a particular house is not a life or death matter. Indeed, fraternity membership itself, like all choices, has debits and credits. Don't let yourself get pressured into a premature choice. You can find peace, love and happiness at W&L as a fraternity member or as an independent, or you can be unhappy either way. (2) Don’t let the relaxed, convivial atmosphere of the first few days here mislead you. You will most likely be working harder than you ever dreamed possible within the first few weeks after classes begin. Keep your priorities straight. Budget your time. There are many opportunities to play hard but you have to pay the piper. (3) This is a highly competitive place, as well as being friendly. Whether it be in the classroom, in intramural help you should that be neces- sary. Drink slowly and moderately enough that you always know what you are doing and feel in control of yourself. If you think you've reached your limit, switch to soda. Don’t let anyone pressure you to drink or to drink more/faster than you want to. (3) There is also a lot of sexual activity at W&L. You will have plenty of opportunities for that, too. You need to make your choices consistent with your values and health (mental as well as physical). Pregnancy, STD’s and even sexual violence are risks if you choose to be sexually active, though you can take precautions that will reduce the risk level. Remember, guys may play kiss and tell games. Just don’t think that casually hooking up with someone on Satur- day night will always be a well-kept secret. Trust me, it won't. It also won't necessarily lead to either friendship or further romance. (4) As with freshman males, don’t expect to be consistently successful this fall. In fact, try defining success in broader ways. Not having a date gives you an opportunity to do other things which may be just as enjoyable. Not getting into a particular activity frees you up for something else. Not getting high grades on your first set of exams educates you about the academic realities of this place. Sometimes we can learn more from our perceived failures than our so-called successes, which means they really weren't failures after all. \ The Ring-tum Phl, September 10, 199 » A survivial guide to men's Rush Upperclassmen give tips for enjoying the chaos . By JENNIFER LATHAM Phi Staff Writer Although fraternity Rush has been described as a trip through hell to get to heaven, most freshman men manage to cultivate good memories in the first three frenzied weeks of college. “You can look at it this way,” sophomore Adam Plotkin said. “It’s a bunch of free parties that present great ways to meet people. It’s one of the most hectic times in a guy's life, but it's also one of the most enjoyable.” Among upperclassmen’s favorite Rush activities are Tear Night and casual afternoons spent at the houses. “I enjoyed the skeet shoots and parties out at houses in the country,” junior Mac Tisdale said. “A lot of plarming goes into the afternoons of open contact when the freshman guys are taken to Goshen and to play golf,” he said. Meeting fraternity brothers in classes also contributes to freshmen’s memories of Rush and, ultimately, the decisions they make. “I met a guy in a drama class who became one of my good friends and was my big brother when I joined the house," senior John Godfrey said. “The strength of that friendship was evident on Tear Night, because I knew I'd joined the right tlvltles of Tear Night. On weekriights, while the seasoned Rush veterans are busy welcoming swarms of freshman men to their houses, freshman women generally entertain themselves by observ- ing the pre-party hoopla. “Last year we sat and looked out my window and watched the parade of guys in tan pants, bucks and navy blue jackets,” sophomore Beth Provanzana said. This attire is made possible largely to the domestic services freshman women offer the nishees. “I found out that no guys know how to iron,” sophomore house.” . Stacy Cofield said. In the past, freshman women were not spectators to the extent that they are today at W&L. “I remember being curious, confused and unfamiliar with Rush terms during those weeks, but women in classes before mine could go with guys to the Rush parties,” senior Teresa Williams said. Williams said this firsthand experi- ence was either beneficial or aggravating, because women who were invited were either “ignored or paid attention to, depending on what the guys preferred at the time.” Among other things, women can benefit from the extra study time and much-needed sleep during men's Rush. SOME W&L men enjoy the bachannallan ac- “We got to watch T.V. in the Graliam-Lees lounge; we actually had it to ourselves,” Provanzana said. Time for relaxation seems to be taken for granted b ‘ women, who cannot fathom the pressure experienced by the men. “All the guys were asking, ‘What are we going to do next?’ while all the girls were asking, ‘Where's the next party?’” sophomore Stacy Bogert said. Sophomore Stephanie Sheperd agrees. “As a freshman, frat parties became kind of overwhelming. A lot of people had never experienced something quite that wild. It was nice to have a break from it,” she said. However, on weekends when the parties are in full swing,freslirnan women should heed the advice of uppertfiass _ women who have experienced the delirium. “Don’tcarryany type of con- tainer with you from party to party,” said Williams. don’t take it personally if guys goal is to meet other guys”; “Trytohitasmanyhousesas possible,” said Provanzana. “I would've liked to have met more people by going to more than one house on Tear Night,” sophomore April Powell said. O Sheperd agrees that fresh- tliemselves by staying at one P311)’- “Tryto meetupperclassmen, rather than being intimidated and standing in a corner, keeping to yourself," Powell said. As for the men, the most ba- sic advice is to keep an open mind and to pledge the frateniity that has the most comfort- able atmosphere. “Visit as many houses as possible,” senior Mark Van Deusen said. This can make a difference in the end of R h. “There's a place for everybody,” sophomore Michael Neal said.“We’re trying to impress the freshman guys just as much as they're trying to impress us.” “You should be looking for the best brotherhood in a group of guys you'll be spending the next four years with here,” Godfrey said.Above all, the brothers of W&L frater- nities stress staying in control. “Don’t get too drunk, and avoid the Lexington police lfire the plague,” Godfrey said. , Though fraternity Rush can suddenly thnist men into a whirlwind of activity, some brothers urge moderation. “The key word is ‘balance’,” sophomore Brian Hucks said. “Rush is important, but classes are, too.” File Photo Although in these next few weeks being a part of a ' brotherhood may seem like the end—all, be-all of a gu6"s existence, just being a part of Rush is key. “Tell yourself it's not the end of the world if you don ’t get into a fraternity,” Neal said, “because the world will go on.” Brotherhood.

W&L Capital Planning Coordina- « tor Frank Parsons said he expects that the entire Renaissance program, in- cluding thenew Sigma Phi Epsilon and Sigma Chi houses in Davidson Park, will be completed by September 1993. Not a formal pan of Renaissance, Chi Psi has independently been reno- vating its house to meet the university’s new fraternity standards. Renovations include building a house mother's suite, creating more student housing, rede- signing their party room and adding a patio and additional bathrooms. Chi Psi Lodge Manager Mark Connelly said the work, which was to be completed by Sept.l, fell behind due to problems with their independent contractor. He said the 23 students that will live in the house planto moveinby Sept. 20. “By that time, the first two floors should belivable,’ ’Connelly said. “But the ‘entire project will be done by Octo- ber l.” House residents have found temporary lodging in Gaines and Woods Creek, causing a controversy between fraternity members and law students sharing Woods Creek Cen- tral. University Security Director Michael Young saidhis office received complaints from law students about a loud party the night after Chi Psi mem- bers moved into Woods Creek. To settle the situation, the univer- sity moved the fraternity members to Woods Creek West and Gaines. Despite a recommendation from Associate Dean of Students for Greek Affairs Leroy C. “Buddy” Atkins Photo by Leigh Allen, The Ring-rum Phi Construction workers at Chi Psi place gravel for a walkway connecting the front of the fraternity house to the newly-renovated party room. chi Psi hopes to complete constuction by October 1. against holding Rush in the house, Connelly and Chi Psi Assistant Rush Chairman Matt Gilman said enough of the construction will be completed in time to host Open Houses and parties. “We’re taking all the precautions necessary to have a party,” Gilman said. “We’re real confident in that.” Gilman said the basement party room and patio will be finished for Rush. He also said the fraternity will hire security guards to patrol areas un- der construction whenever guests are in the house. Kappa Alpha, originally slated for completion last month, fell behind schedule earlier this year. Parsons said that the work fell even further behind this summer. The target date for KA to reoccupy their house is Jan. 1. KA will hold their Rush Dates and Open Houses in the University Center, KA President Hank Huff said. The fraternity will host their rush parties in the Boiler Room on Henry Street. Delta Tau Delta, removed from Re- naissance when the chapter was sus- pended for vandalizing their house last winter, reapplied in July for an esti- mated $400,000 in repairs to their Lee Avenue house. No changes will be made to the blueprints finalized by the university last year. Parsons said the university is taking bids for the Delt project now and ex- pects construction to begin this fall and to be finished by next fall. ‘ ‘But remember, they will be on critical probation for three years,’ ’ Par- sons said. “That means if they stub their toe, they ’re out.” Pi Kappa Phi and Phi Kappa Psi moved back into their East Washing- ton Street houses last week to find several rooms devoid of furniture. “It’s just one of these things that shouldn't have happened,” Parsons said. “There was a misunderstanding in placing the orders. It turns out we were given some bad information.” Both houses are missing furniture fortheirliving rooms and diningrooms.

Cl HUGHES from page 1 [name redacted] said she managed to free herself at one point and stand up but did not leave the room. She said Hughes pulled her back onto the bed and started kissing her while she tried to tell him that she could not have sex with him because she had a boyfriend at Virginia Military Institute. [name redacted] said Hughes let her go when she told him she would go break up with her boyfriend and come back. She said in court that she did really have aboyfriend, but made the story up in order to get away. [name redacted] also said she tried to scream once, but Hughes silenced her by kissing her on the mouth. During cross—examination, [name redacted] said she and other Sweet Briar students were responsible for posters that appeared on the W&L carn- pus earlier in the spring. The fliers accused Frjis of raping women and videotaping brothers having sex with women without the women knowing the taping was taking place. Hughes’ attorney, Thomas Simons, also said [name redacted] and a friend met with Lexington Police Chief B.M. ‘ ‘Bruce” Beard several months before and told him that some Fiji members had videotaped women and chapter members having sex. ‘ ‘Were you both not told at that time to stay away from the Fiji house?” Simons asked. “I don’t recall,” [name redacted] said. Lexington Police Officer Steve Crowder, who investigated the alleged rape attempt, testified that the woman told him she had seen a red flashing light in the room that could have been a video camera. Crowder said he searched the room where the alleged rape attempt took place and found two videotapes, but the content of the tapes was not related to the complaints. Bernard Porter, a senior Fiji mem- ber who lived in the room where the alleged incident took place, said he entered the room May 10 and saw [name redacted] and Hughes standing next to his desk.

Call them “Piranian’s Piranhas”, if you like. Just don’t call them the best team ever un- der coach Rolf Piranian, unless he says so. “'Ihere’s potential for this to be a very good year,” said Piranian, “but you're putting the cart before the horse to call it a good team right now.” Coach Piranian felt that undo pres- sure was put on his squad by an article in the Rockbridge Daily Press that called his ’92 Generals “..probably the best that Piranian has had during his tenure at W&L.” “I was upset by that,” said Piranian. “That didn't come from us [Piranian and assistant coach John Burgess].” Although the coaches aren’t seeing stars over the Generals’ potential, they feel that the team should be on the upswing if they can avoid the injury bug that infected their 1991 campaign, which they ended at 8-6-2, 4-3 in Old Dominion Athletic Conference play. Senior midfielder Mike Mitchem, ‘W&L’s career assist leader with 16, had two goals and two assists in the first four games of last season, but saw action in only one of the remaining 12 games due to a knee injury. “We never had our_top 1 1 players in the lineup together last year,” Piranian said. According to Piranian, there have been no major injuries thus far, but minor sprains have limited the practice time of Mitchem and freshman Chad Dobbins, who may challenge for a start- ing spot. The Generals open their ’92 season this weekend in the Franklin & Marshall Tournament, but the commanding gen- eral isn’t predicting a third straight tournament title for Washington and Lee. “We had an intersquad game last week and it wasn’t where we wanted to be,” he said. “Playing back-to-back games is tough, but we may have the depth on this team to challenge for it. We've changed the formations a little bit this year and it'll take a little time for things to fall into place.” Photo by Jameson Leonardt, The Fling-tum Phi Coach Piranian hopes this kind of hounding by senior Reid Murphy will produce goals for the Generals. After a successful 1991, W&L is expected to challenge for the ODAC title this year. The goaltending position seems to have fallen into the right place, though. Senior Mike Steinbrook will continue to defend the keeper position he won midway through last season. “It was clear in the second half of last year that he was our number one goalie," said Piranian. In the 1991 ODAC Tournament, Steinbrook saved his best performance for what was, unfortunately, the Gen- erals last performance. In a 1-0 semifi- nal loss to undefeated Virginia Wesleyan, Steinbrook made a season high 15 saves. Steinbrook finished the season with a .859 save percentage and a paltry 1.23 goals against average. “He was just awesome,” Piranian said. “It was the greatest game of his career.” In front of Steinbrook this year will be the familiar 6’3" All-South Atlan- tic sweeper Greg Williams. Williams was the Generals defensive MVP last season and looks to protect W&L’s half ofthe field. Hisjob will be a little more difficult this year with the gradu- ation of fel low defenders David Hooker and John Ziegler. However, a strong offensive squad should help keep the pressure on the other side of the center field line. W&L’s top five point scorers from last season return, including All-South Atlantic forward Reid Murphy. More significant than Murphy’s 1991 totals of nine goals and two assists, including four game winners, is the fact that when Murphy scored, the Generals were 7-0. “Reid is the key player for us,” said Piranian. “He’s an outstanding offen- sive player.” Piranian, who now ties his former coach Joe Lyles’ mark of 17 straight years guiding W&L men’s soccer, hopes that these pieces will fall into place and land the team in the national tournament for the first time in his tenure. . “I felt a year or two that we should have been selected,” he said. “I won’t be happy until I make it there.” When Coach Piranian finally does make the Division III national tourna- ment, it will probably then be with the best team he has coached in his tenure at W&L. 64 OZ.

Hagge FOOTBALL, WATER POLO, SOCCER, VOLLEYBALL, CROSS COUNTRY Generals begin season with renewed confidence Fallon looks to the run—and—gun to revive W&L offense; expe By SEAN O'RoURiu2 Phi Sports Editor If you can meet with triumph and disaster, And treat those two impostors just the same. __uIfs9 This phrase from Rudyard Kipling’s classic poem greets every tennis player as they leave the locker room to enter the famed Centre Court at Wimbledon. I don’t think Washington and Lee head football coach Gary Fallon has ever made that awesome trek, but he has incorporated Kipling’s thoughts into his motto for the 1992 season. “Early on I brought in the 1-9 record to show we had a lot of work in front of us,” said Fallon. “You can leam a great deal from history and past experiences. Now I’m easing away from it. You can’t dwell on it, you have to block it out and get on the positive side.” The 1-9 record Fallon is referring to was the final result of a tough 1991 campaign. After finishing the previous two seasons at .500, the Generals were looking at last year as a rebuilding period. This year Fallon says he ex- pects better results. ‘‘If we took thefield rightnow,we’d do much better than we did last year,” said Fallon. “We have veterans at left tackle, left guard, center and right guard. Left tackle is the only spot we have to fill. “We also have two tight ends back, the same running backs and experi- enced wide receivers. Our quarterback also has some seasoning.” , One of the big problems the Gener- als encountered last year was lack of possession time. Their offense had trouble staying on the field long enough Photo by Leigh Allen, The Ring-tum Phi Senlor trl-captain Lyle Smith prepares to put a hurtln' on freshman Jay Mccardell.

That is the situation facing Washington and Lee women’s soccer coach Janine Hathom.. Hathom lost seven girls to graduation, including the 1991 ODAC Player of Year, defender Nancy Mitchell.

The offense handled the ball for an average of 25 minutes per game. Fallon be- lieves the new rim-and-gun offense, W&L’s version of the nm-and-shoot, if executed properly, could be the an- swer. “We don’t have a big tailback to grind it out, but we have a good set of receivers and a quarterback to get the ball to them. They should keep us on the field if we execute. Execution is the big part of this offense.” However, don’t be surprised if Fallon decides to switch back to their old I-forrnation offense. He does not believe this offense will be used exclu- sively. “The nm-and- gun is not set in stone,” said Fallon. “If we’re having problems offense like they had to last season. “We have good linebackers and . good group of defensive linemen. Las year we asked the defense to buy time for our green offense. We’re ho in 3 we don’t have to do that this yeafi)” The defensive line and th linebackin g corps make up the stren gt . of the unit. Spears is a mainstay a defensive tackle, along with fellow senior Thomas May and sophomor Jason Chartrand. Smith anchors th defense from his linebacker posflion He’s joined there by sophomore Jame ~ Maberry. The defensive backfield was a sor‘ spot during parts of last year. Junior Bill Harker and sophomore Jon Wagne seem to be the leaders at the comerbac s spot this year, while sophomores Marc Newman and Stephen Cox should .- more experienced at their safety posi tions. One final area where the General may have an edge is in the number department. The Generals nearly doubled in size with a large inflm o freshmen. Fallon says this will mean there will be some inexperienced play- ers on the field at times, but that it doesn’t diminish his expectations of them. “We need them to mature in ahurry,” said Fallon. “They’ll probably make more mistakes because of their green- ness and inexperience. But, they have to get the job done.” Fallon said it’s like going into battle. Once that first shot is fired the ne . guys are no longer new. With the season-opener only fie days away, the Generals seem ready to avenge that 1-9 record. It won't be easy. Then again, if it was easy, there would be no need for “If.” else. But if we’re doing O.K., I don’t want to change anything.” The four-receiver offense worked well for the Generals in their last game of 1991. W&L handled the Georgetown Hoyas, 27-12. Geren Steiner was the triggerrnan for the Generals against the Hoyas and he will be called upon again to run the offense, as will the Old Dominion Athletic Conference’s lead- ing receiver, William Propst. One of the tri-captains, tight end Josh Levinson, will have to show senior leadership on the field. The Generals defense looks to be a solid unit again this year. The two remaining tri-captains are on the de- fensive side of the ball, seniors -Phil Spears and Lyle Smith. Both will play an important part in protecting the Generals end zone. Even though this unit is good, Fallon does not believe the defense will be asked to buy time for an inexperienced play in goal. She recorded a school -record nine shutouts, and posted a 0.88 goals against average. Hathom says that the defense will need the most work this year . She says their lack of playing together will be the sticking point. “The defensive end will need the most work, not because they’r really inexperienced, but they just haven’t played together,” said Hathom. ‘ The questions will be answered quickly as the team travels east to challenge Virginia Wesleyan on Saturday. A strong showin; could give this team a lot of confidence, exactly what Hathom is (1 she had d upon to looking for. in assists “I have a lot of confidence in them.
