The SAB proposal includes plans to spend $64,265 on entertainment, about $22,000 more than last year, and $5,280 on publicity, more than twice last year's publicity budget. 9 Hobson Barnes, SAB vice chairman and treasurer, said $9000 of the request would go to get the Spin Doctors at the Pavilion on the Thursday before Christmas weekend. SAB has not sponsored an event on that night before. SAB chairman Robyn McCord said the increase in publicity is an attempt to increase attendance at SAB events. She said the effect of more publicity has already resulted in at increased turnout for SAB interviews. The StudentBar Association asked the EC for $51 ,925.62. SBA treasurer Andrew Colocotronis said the money will help fund 22 organizations in the Law School. Colocotronis said SBA funds organizations regardless of partisanship or religious affiliation. SBArequested $47,999.06 last year andreceived$41,000. Colocotronis said the larger request is mostly due to an increase in the cost of supplies. Contact requested $29,500 from the EC, $7,550 more than last year. Contact Chair David DeMilt said Contact expects to get one major speaker and five or six other speakers for the coming year.-DeMilt said major speakers, such as author Robert Fulghum, can cost from $8,000 to 10,000. s The Graham-Lee-Washington Literary Society requested $5000 from the EC. GLW Society Co-Chairman Cameron Humphries said literary societies were the most important educational and social aspects of W&L for 100 years. The GLW society was founded last spring and is asking the EC for money for the first time. The EC has about $30,000 more than last year to allocate R) student organizations thanks to a $15 increase in the student activities fee and a $29,000 budget surplus from the 1991-92 year. The 1991 -92 EC began last year with $205,408, $14,150 of which was a surplus from the previous year. They allotted $199,150 to student organizations. The current EC has $234,000 to give to student organizations. ’ EC President Josh MacFar1and said the EC wants to insure that the budget benefits the most students. ‘ ‘We're looking to give the most funding to groups that benefit the most or the majority of the student body," MacFarland said. ‘ Budget hearings began Monday and will finish tonight. The EC will deliberate on the budget requests in a public meeting Monday at 7 p.m.. In other E.C. business, the first-year law class elected Kevin Webb,'88, to the EC. Webb said being away from W&L made him appreciate the Honor System. ‘ ‘One of the reasons I wanted to come back to W&L was the Honor System,” Webb said. “lnthe EC, you're inacommittee that deals with both the undergraduates and the law school.” 0 WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA OCTOBER 1, 1992 35 ii” Pledges THE SNAG 52 Actives Total 40 75 45 76 57 56 66 47 67 54 44 49 71 38 22 38 By FAITH TRUMAN Phi Contributing Writer Fomial Rush ended Sunday with 91 percent of men who participated pledging a fraternity. Phi Kappa Psi pledged the largest class, 35, a result Phi Psi Rush Chairman Steve Johnson attributes to the total involvement of the actives in the rush process. “Everything was unified. The seniors got motivated and there was a lot of cooperation throughout the house, ”Johrison said. “I think the freshmen were attracted to that.” On the other side of the Rush results, Lambda Chi Alpha and Chi Psi pledged the smallest classes, five and three respectively. Lambda Chi Treasurer Allen Flickinger said only tearing five pledges will not cause financial problems. ‘ ‘We're existing smoothly right now,” Flickinger said. “This won't affect us overall.” Lambda Chi Rush Chairman John Godfrey said he would like to see some changes in the Rush process, but said he is not sure what is needed. “I think the present sign-up system is screwy. Lot s of freshman suicided other houses and didri’t get bids at all,” Godfrey said. “I think our distance from campus hurt us too." Chi Psi House Manager Mark Connelly said not having a fully renovated house may have hurt their Rush. However, he said they were pleased with their three-man pledge class. “We always say it’s quality, not quantity," Connelly said. Rush left freshmen with a variety of impres- sions. ‘ Beta Theta Pi pledge Andy Vota said he chose Beta because he felt the most comfortable there and had a great time. , ‘ ‘In my opinion, it’s the best house on campus 246 men pledge in lopsided Rush Photo by Mallory Meyers, The Ring-tum Phi Other freshmen think the Rush process could be improved. ‘ ‘I think Rush was too formal and political,” Sigma Chi pledge Chad Dobbins said. “I went with the people I knew the best and the house I felt was right for me,” he said. Sigma Alpha Epsilon pledge Curt Futch said he felt there was not enough time to make a decision. “Rush takes too long, but it’s still hard to get to know everybody.

New rules lead to fewer injuries By GREGORY PATTERSON Phi News Editor New Tear Night rules designed to reduce injuries and alcohol violations seem to have worked. According to administration and security officials, one student sus- tained a minor injury Friday, the first Tear Night under regulations passed last spring by the Iriterfraternity Coun- cil. Last year, seven students were treated at Stonewall Jackson Hospital for injuries including a broken leg and a concussion. Last spring, the IFC mandated an alcohol-free period from 5 p.m. to 8 pm. onTear Night when bids must be accepted Dean of Freshmen and Residence Life Dennis Marming said one fresh- man cut his chin and needed stitches when he slipped on a dance floor. Overall, Manning said he was pleased with the weekend. “It was a success for the adminis- tration as far as personal injuries and trips to the hospital," Manning said.“l hope we can keep this track record in the future.” Dean of Students David L. Howison said there were only two alcohol-related student arrests Friday. Howison attributed the taming ofTear Night to IFC President Sam Rock and Vice President Tom Washmon. “Sam and Tom met with the fresh- men Thursday night and told them to act responsibly,”Howison said. “This is a student success.” Security, infirrnary and police of- ficials agreed that Friday’sTearNight was a departure from the past. for me," Vota said. “They get the sweetest babes." “I've been here for twenty years and this was the best one ever,” secu- rity officer Thomas “Baner” Bane said. “It was not the wild carrying on like in the past." At the ‘Student Health Center, which last year was filled withpassed- out students, Nurse Jane Wheeling said no one came in Friday night. Lexington Police Chief B.M. Beard said the new rulesaccomplished their purpose. “Things went well,” Beard said. “Something must have worked.” One fraternity member said the new regulations slowed, but did not stop, the traditional Tear rituals. “I think after [8 p.rn.], people did what they had always done, but it was less intense,” Pi Kappa Alpha Vice President Walter Todd said. “Overall stress,” freshman Gretchen Hall said. “I worry about friends being disappointed.” it was better.” Photo by Mallory Meyers, The Ring—tum Phi Drinkin’ in the rain Magazine ranks W&L 22nd for second year By NIKKI MAGAZINER Phi‘ Staff Writer For the second year in a row, U.S. News and World Report ranked Wash- the --.

Being in the top 25 makes W&L very visible, he said. Although ranked 9th in ‘student se- lectivity, W&L is rated 49th in f'man- cial resources and 41 st in student satis- faction. Although these categories bring W&L’soverall ranking down, the num- bers are not as clear-cut as they seem. The financial resources ranking is determined by dividing the school's operating budget by the number of students, according to Assistant to the President Tom Litzenburg who com- piled W&L’s statistics for the survey. W&L’s operating budget is lower than other liberal arts schools because of low tuition and the fact that W&L does not use tuition revenue to fund scholarships, Litzenburg said. If W&L raised tuition and used the extra in- come to fund scholarships, the rankings would rise.

Sophomore Lucy Cavett said, “It’s good publicity - especially since it is the third year in a row that we've been number one in this category." “Parents are definitely looking for the lowest prices and the best deal," freshman Julie Sauers said. According to Kozak, however, “the $1800 tuition difference (between W&L and Grinnell) is really consid- ered negligible. It depends on what format one uses to calculate the total.” _ ‘ ‘Overall, I think we're getting an excellent education for the money we're paying,’ ’ sophomore Krista Lindsey men entering W&L between 1983 and 1986 that graduated within 5 years and the percentage of alumni contributing to the Annual Fund. This category is only wonh five percent of the total ranking, but paints a distorted portrait of the W&L student. “I think students here are a lot hap- pier than the statistics say,” Murphy said. Dean of Students David Howison said that the retention rate of the last two graduating classes reached almost 90 percent, which is considerably higher than the figures used in the survey. In future, reports. the satisfac- tion ranking should increase, he said. Howison said that in the Princeton Review, where student satisfaction data is figured differently, W&L is ranked as one of the highest. The U.S. News ranking system re- lies mostlyon statistical data that quan- tifies categories such as academic repu- tation, student selectivity, faculty re- sources, financial resources, student satisfaction and freshman statistics. A survey that asks university officials to rate other schools in their category is a small part of formula. Byusing mostlynumbers, the maga- zine tries to eliminate subjective evalu- ation, Litzenburg said. According to Litzenburg, almost all of the numbers sent in to the magazine can be taken right from a financial data report that is annually filed with the federal government. While administrators agree that it is anhonor tobe listed inthe top 25, some students are not satisfied with the rank- mg. “Everybody we give tours to is just totally impressed," said senior Evan Allison, Chairman of the Student Re- cruitment Committee. “Being 22nd doesn’t hurt us at all, but I really think we should be moving tip.” OCR::/Vol_092/WLURG39_RTP_19921001/WLURG39_RTP_19921001_002.2.txt PAGE 2 Ellis ‘fling-tum lfllti Founded September 18, 1897 How many do you need? Brotherhood is possibly the most important principle underpin- ning the social fraternity, as the name implies. The idea is that you find close friends in your fraternity, people with whom you like to party, hang out, learn and live. Brotherhood is not supposed to be about division and cliques. , A pledge class numbering in the 20s or30s raises serious doubts about the class’ notion of brotherhood. It’s only natural that in any group of people division occurs. In a group numbering in the 20s and higher that effect will be substantially magnified. Rival subgroups will form. Things will be said behind others’ backs, and the seeds of deception will have been planted. Yet fraternities seem so greedy as to be blind to these perils. Intoxicated with competition, the fraternities have made the goal of Rush to get the most pledges, with little thought to the chapter’s future. Everyone wants one year in which the numbers go through the roof. Why? So that they can take it easy the next year? So that tliey’ll be talked about all year as the house that got so many pledges? Whatever the reason, the welfare of the individual freshman men is being stearnrolled. They’re being cheated out of the fraternity experience for the sake of numbers and selfishness. They deserve more than to be one identical element in a throng of pledge “brothers.” There is no rule or mechanism in place right now to stop fraternities from mass pledging. Some fraternities will certainly argue for a quota system; others will say there are too many restrictions already. It’s too early to say that one particular change would be best for the system. But it seems that if fraternities would take a little responsibility for their futures and the welfare of their members-to-be, there wouldn’t be any need for a change at all. Finally, a word to pledges: be cautious in your fraternity experience. There is no reason your fraternity brothers should not be your closest friends on campus, but if they are youronly friends, you have a problem. Don’t limit your horizons. Don’t let the fraternity become the purpose of your existence. The temptation to do so will be enormous, but you '11 be letting so much of college life pass you by. 1941: the year The dancing and music stopped after Homecoming in 1941. It would not resume until after the war. With the U.S. entry into World War II, life at Washington and Lee changed dramatically. Road trips were abolished to save gasoline and tires. Football called it a season; they would not play again until 1946. W&L men left to fight, many commissioned before they could receive their diplomas. Many would die, 17 from the class of 1942. This weekend the members of the class of 1942 will receive the highest honor W&L can bestow on alumni. They will become Five-Star Generals. We applaud the men of the class of 1942 for their brave representation of Washington and Lee in a somber hour in America’s history. And for those fortunate enough to be able to return to W&L today, we welcome you. We hope you find W&L with traditions and honor in as fine a state as in your day. Quote of the Week Continental drift is the only hope for the South to rise again. — a professor OPINION ,I_:‘::| ('11 Hl".’.!|'.".'-'-"7. -"-_ themuslc stowed The Bing-turn Phl, October 1, 1992 LOS ANGELES— In June 1991, California was in the throes of its an- nual exercise of mending its budget imbalance for the foreseeable future. A Democratic state legislator scoffed at the idea that the impending tax in- crease—the largest in the history of any state—would cause businesses to flee California. Oh sure, he said, is a nuisance for a big corporation with lots of lawyers, but it is an incentive to go east—to Tonopah or Tucson—for the small businesses responsible for 85 percent of new jobs here. A study by five California utilities says that in the last five years the state has lost 668 manufacturing plants or “They're going to take all those yachts from Newport Har- bor and move them GEoRGE WILL to Tonopah, Ne- vada.” Try Tucson. That is where the Hughes corporation is taking 4,500 jobs. When considering relocation of its missile-building operation, Hughes compared Arizona and California re- garding about 50 factors—taxes, regu- latory burden, utility rates, labor costs, housing, etc.—and decided Arizona was superior in all but two categories. Big economic battleships like Hughes (and the Southern Pacific Rail- road, agribusinesses, Hollywood stu- dios) built California. Now, however, they are becoming as marginally im- portant as, well, battleships. And many large corporations are innovative only at the political entrepreneurship of de- vising alibis for poor performance and wheedling subsidies from states. Still, as Gov. Pete Wilson says, “You need some 80 permits to get a business going in Los Angeles.” That the fate of ourPOWs. Did the Nixon administration Washington Post Writers Group plarmed expansions. Wilson says he has a sheaf of advertisements from states—Utah, Oklahoma, Arizona, “Hell, even Michigan. That's insult- ing”—attempting to lure California firms. ‘ ~ ‘ 7 The fact of federalism is iricreas- ingly a force for conservatism. Com- petition between states to sweeten the business clirriate makes government restraint and refonn mandatory. For example, Wilson has called a special session of the legislature in October to deal with the fraud-ridden workers’ compensation system. Originally intended to help workers injured on the job, it now pays “stress” claims and makes “stress mill million- aires” of many lawyers and forensic physicians. The system costs Califor- nia employers $11 billion a year. Hitherto, the system has been do its utmost to get our peoplebackfrom tliatfar- off land?

There has been explosive growth of social spending. With 1 2percent of the population, California has 26 percent of Americans receiving Aid to Fami- lies with Dependent Children; in 1964 one in six did. This has squeezed out infrastructure spending. Since 1970 the miles of highway lanes has increased by apaltry 15 percent. Intlie 1950s and 1960s, 20 percent of that state budget went for infrastructure; in the 1980s, less than 5 percent. The result is mil- lions of commuters creeping along in congestion, daydreaming about Ari- zona. Hence Wilson’s squeeze of spending on virtually all social pro- grams. In 16 of the 24 years from 1967 to 1990 California was governed by Ro- nald Reagan and his soul mate George Deiikrnejian. But in 1991 California got, in Wil- son, a governor who would do some- thing not done in 50 years: He made the 1992 general fund budget get smaller. A $10.7 billion budget gap was closed without new taxes. Of course there may be “trickle down taxation” as burdens are shifted from the state to cities and counties that may raise taxes.

For Henry Kissinger, the answer was contained in that lone, illusive catch—word: “credibility.” “Why not withdraw?” Isaacson quotes French President Charles de Gaulle asking Kissinger a month after Nixon’s inauguration. “A sudden withdrawal might give us a credibility problem,” he answered. “Where?” de Gaulle inquired. Kissinger cited the Middle East. “How very odd,” de Gaulle answered. “It is pre- cisely in the Middle East that I thought your enerriies had a credibility problem.” Yet this highly-prized “credibility” was essential power in 1969?

LETTERS Community made Freshman Orientation a success - To the Editor, I would like to take this opportimity to thank publicly the entire W&L com- munity for providing such a warm and enthusiastic welcome to the class of 1996 during the Freshman Orientation program. Of particular importance was the work of the Freshman Orientation Committee, and its leadership, Robert Wilson and Teresa Williams, and the dormitory counselors, all of whom gave uriflaggingly of themselves. Planning and organizing orientation activities and staffing virtually every orientation event —from Playfair to airport shuttles —— made for a very smooth opening week. Thanks also go to: Mr. Jim Arthur, Mr. Randolph Hare, Mr. Bill Radford, and their staff who saw to it that all of the dorrnitoriesandotherfacilities were in irnrriaculate condition for check-in day; Mr. Jerry Darrell and Mr. John Taffe and their staff who furnished the culinary touches for several meetings and special occasions, including the Friday evening program in the GHQ; Jim Farrar, Rob Mish, Matt Felber, Southern Comfort, JubiLee, and Gor- don Spice for providing a festive Alunmi Association BBQ and choral program. Professor Sanders’ comments on the history and traditions of W&L were, as always, provocative and stimulat- ing, and the Honor System Orientation was especially meaningful, with Pro- fessor Lamar Cecil ’s eloquent remarks a highlight. EC President Josh MacFarland and the Executive Com- mittee insured that freshmen were not only attentive but were also made more sensitive to and appreciative of per- haps the most cherished tradition of W&L. Others too numerous to mention also contributed to the Freshman Ori- entation program, and this general note! must suffice to thank you. I am pleased that the class of 1996 was the benefi- ciary of such a community effort! Sincerely, Dennis Manning Dean of Freshmen and Residence .

And per- haps just as important, does this reject allpotential of having youbemy Home- ifirning date? Speaking of which, it is that time of yearagain. Time to get out those Wash- ington and Lee ties, slowly slipping them around the necks of your dates and...oh, did I say that? Terribly sorry. I truly hope I didn’t offend any fe- rflales, particularly sophomores, who don’t wear ties. That might be con- strued as...chauvinistic, would it not? And I would hate to have any chauvin- istic tendencies appear in this column because of my obviously bitter attitude toward females, particularly sopho- mores, due to, of course, my romantic failings with the freshmen of last year. NO, I could not allow something like that to occur. It would be inappro- priate. Instead, I would like to demon- strate my generous attitude toward the welfare of feminist ideas, particularly tmse of the sophomores, in examining the trulychauvinistic spirit of this week- end which we are all going to cel- ebrate. I am truly offended. One would think that an institution as fine as Wash- ington and Lee, although reaped in tradition, would have the decency to outlaw such a debasing celebration. I mean, what is the true goal of Home- coming? To get drunk. Okay, I'll grant you that point. But what is the huge occasion around which Homecoming is centered? It’s not for alumni, be- cause they get their own weekend. (It’s called Alumni Weekend for those who are confused.) It’s not for the football team because most everyone leaves at half-time anyway except for the die- hard fans. Of course not. It’s all about the Homecoming Court; the Show; the Exhibition. It is the reason we go. It is the reason for the centerfold spread in this week’s edition of the Phi. It is the reason for every conversation concem- ing women until the Queenis chosen.It is the essence of the Homecoming cel- ebration and quite frankly, I’m sick- ened by it. Every social organization nominates a beautiful girl to represent them in an effort to win the “respect and admiration” of the entire W & L community. How can such a crock continue to exist? Why are all these girls so beautiful? Why isn’t a rather obese woman with acne and a really great personality ever chosen as a nonri- nation? NO, no one would ever think to nominate someone of that nature. Why? Because it’ s deep-rooted in chau- vinism, dammit! And what happens once these beautiful women raded? On the football field itself, dressed as nicely as they can, IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!

It can be the ticket to weekend eu- phoria, it can become a destructive habit, and it is one of the most irnpor- tant problems facing W&L, adminis- trators say. “There isn’t a more important topic on campus. If we could get students more interested in the [prevention of abusive drinking], it would make a big difference,” Associate Dean of Stu- dents and Counseling Psychologist Anne Schoer-Lamont said. In 1990, a survey conducted among the freshman class revealed that 71 percent of those who responded knew someone with a drinking problem. In contrast, 77 percent reported they could stop drinking after one or two drinks, but 48 percent felt pressure to drink. Sixty-eight percent reported an in- crease in tolerance, one of the early signs related to alcoholism. “I see it in the classroom. People come into class at eight or nine abso- lutely reeking of alcohol. There’s defi- nitely a problem here,” Assistant Pro- fessor of Spanish Gwyn Campbell said. Campbell, a recovering alcoholic herself, said that she has spoken with four W&L students who had admitted drinking problem. Schroer-Lamont said 20 - 25 percent of the students she O The Ring-tum PM, October 1 , 1992 FEATURES counsels have an alcohol-related prob- lem. “The problem at W&L is not so much alcoholism in the addiction sense,” said Dr. James Worth, univer- sity counseling psychologist. “The ence of alcohol,” Worth said.

When the abuse habit becomes ha- bitual, the body chemistry alters and a true craving for alcohol develops, a person has crossed the boundary into alcoholism, Worth said. The momentary sense of euphoria and relaxation associated with drink- ing can not compensate for the long- term negative effects resulting from alcohol abuse. The results of abusive drinking come in many forms. At times, the alcohol abuser is not the only victim of his or her actions. “We know a high percentage of sexual violence occurs under the influ- the school's so hard and it relieves stress. That's the main reason I drink Sunday through Thursday. On Friday I drink for fun,” junior Kevin Emerson said. “I don’t call drinking in college alcoholism.”Campbell disagrees.“I think a lot of people who think it’s a phase are kidding themselves,” Campbell said. “Alcoholism doesn’t discriminate. I’m scared for a lot of our students, not a few, a lot.” Habitual abusive drinking does not go unnoticed, especially by the friends of a problem drinker. “There’s a time when you need to face up to it. We should be old enough and mature enough to tell a friend he has a problelm,” junior Matt Goodwin said. ‘No thanks’ Staying sober remains the sole option for some’ By CAMERON HUDDLESTON Phi Contributing Writer For a non-drinker at W&L, feel- ing comfortable in a social scene centered around alcohol and drink- ing can be a difficult task. “At times I wish I drank to get people off my back. It would make my life easier,” sophomore Goose Garrigus said. Due to a history of alcohol- ism in her family, Garrigus does not partake in the usual weekend ritual of drinking. “'I'here’re a lot of alcoholics in my family, and I’ve seen how it messed them up,” she said. The decision not to drink is not an easy one for her. At times her peers have questioned her decision and have placed pressure on her to drink. “People tell me I’m scared. They tell me you can control alco- holism. Usually they're drtmk when they say it,” Garrigus said. As a non-drinker, Garrigus has had the opportunity to observe the drinking habits of students at par- ties from a sober standpoint and has seen a lot of abusive drinking. In fact, she confronted a friend last _ year who she thought had devel- oped an abusive drinking pattern. “We told the person we were scared for [him]. We didn't want the person to hurt [himself]/’ she said. Garrigus said the initial con- frontation was difficult but was well worth the effort considering her friend took the advice. Sophomore Robert Eison says he recognizes the harmful effects of alcohol, like Garrigus, and main- tains sobriety at all times. “I think alcohol breeds medioc- rity,” Eison said. “There’s a substantial number of students who become mediocre during the week because of alco- hol,” he said. Eison said he’s been in classes where he has observed hungover students or students who have focused so much attention on drinking that they have nothing to. offer intellectually in class. ‘The motto at W&L is study hard, play hard. People equate play- ing hard with drinking hard, which is totally contradictory. Play- inghard implies beingfo- cused and enjoying it.’ However, drinking hard inherently dulls the senses and in- hibits physical and mental capacities,” Eison said. So what's wrong with an occasional“ dulling of the senses? Eison responded that each person has the right to make that decision. Eison has opted to live an alcohol-free life because “when you’re drinking, nothing mental is going on.” ' Also, Eison does not drink in an effort to avoid the harmful effects of alcohol. “Why take therisks when you can take more fulfilling risks? Put your energy in something use- ful, something you'll remember,” he said. O The decision not to drink was not a difficult one for Eison, but he does believeitmightbediffrcultfor others at W&L. ‘_‘I’m not trying to be some type of hero, but I'm very focused and confident about what I want to get out of life and alcohol 9 isn’tapart of it,” he said. However, some people were not as comfort- able with his decision and pushed him heavily to drink. “At a party when I’m offered a drink, I say ‘No thanks,’ and they say okay and walk off,” Eison said, at because he does not drink, there is an elimination of a complete topic of conversation, which he does not like. “It amazes me how much en- ergy people put into drinking. If that’s all you look forward to, you . don’t have much to live for.” Bryn Mawr Lesbian Alumnae Network Bucknell University GALA Catholic University GALA Duke University GALA George Washington University GALA Georgetown University GALA Gettysburg College GALA Mannhattanville College GALA Massachussetts Institute of Technology GALA Michigan State University GALA Northwestern Law GALA Oberlin College GALA Princeton University GALA University of Illinois GALA University of North Carolina GALA University of Rochester Lambda Wake Forest University GALA 7 » West Point GALA Western Maryland College GALA William and Mary GALA W&L WASHINGTON & LEE ..

When not engaged in name-callin g and accusations, Republican Bob Goodlatte and Democrat Steve Musselwhite discussed issues such as congressional reform, social benefit programs and political action commit- tees. Attacks by each candidate on each other’s integrity made up the majority of the debate. During one exchange, Goodlatte said Musselwhite had lied about accepting campaign contribu- tions from labor unions, first denying and then later acknowledging the con- Photo by Lindsay Coleman, The Ring-tum Phi During a debate in Lee Chapel Monday night, Republican congres- sional nominee Bob Goodlatte uses a chart to illustrate what he called out-of-control government spending. tributions. Musselwhite said Goodlatte had re- ceived contributions from Oliver North. Musselwhite attempted to defame North, but applause and cheers from the audience at the mention of North’s name drowned him out. Both candidates stressed the need to reform Congress by cutting adminis- trative costs. Goodlatte, a strong pro- ponent of congressional reform, sug- gestedcutting congressional staffs and budgets by 25 percent. “There is too much bureaucracy in our government. The excessive num- ber of committees and subcommittees in Congress results in exorbitant ad- ministrative costs,” Goodlatte said. Goodlatte cited urmecessary perks and benefits and abuse of the franking privilege as contributing factors to gov- ernment overspending. Musselwhite agreed on the need for reform and said Congress is absorbed with passing the blame for America’s failed economic policy instead of try- ing to solve it. In response to a question on how to improve entitlement programs, Musselwhite said unemployment was a major issue facing Congress. Musselwhite said he favored labor in- The Ring-tum Phi, October 1 , 1992 Candidates trade barbs during debate centives and job education training to put unemployed Americans back to work. “We've been giving out fish. Let's start giving out fishing poles,” Musselwhite said. “If a man’s hungry and you give him a fish, it will feed him fora day. If you give him a fishing pole with instructions on how to use it, he’ll never be hungry again.” Pointing out flaws in government health care benefitprograms,Goodlatte advocated Medicaid reform as a prior- ity for overhauling social benefit pro- grams. He proposed instituting a voucher system to allow Americans to “shop for their health care” and thus become “health care consumers.” Goodlatte also said he favored wel- fare reform and was against cuts in social security. Both candidates agreed that the power of PACs to manipulate Con- gress is undermining public opinion on most legislative issues. Musselwhite said PACs are a major O O stumbling block in the legislative pro- ‘ cess. He also said PAC campaign con- tributions have made it tougherjfor non-incurnbents to get elected. “For too long, the answers [of how to raise campaign money] have come from PACs and lobbyists in [Washing- ton]. We should limit the amount of money these groups can give to Con- gress,” Musselwhite said. . Goodlatte agreed, saying “95 per- cent of a congressman’s campaign funds come from political action com- mittees.” During a question-and-answer pe- riod, a W&L freshman asked about the candidates’ support of Ross Perppas the man who “seems to have the ght ideas.”Goodlatte and Musselwhite both said they would support the election of Perot as president if he received the majority of the popular vote in the Sixth District.

By SEAN O’RoURiu5 Phi Sports Editor They say patience is a virtue. Well, I don’t know how virtuous the Washington and Lee football team is, but until last weekend, their patience was wearing thin. Last year, the Generals went nine straight games without a win. They salvaged part of the season with a win over the Georgetown Hoyas in their final contest. At the start of this season, head coach Gary Fallon said this team was betterthan last year’s and would not repeat the nine-game drought. That prediction seemed in serious trouble after the rout by an especially talented Emory & Henry squad. But then came the Centre Colonels. Just what the Gener- als ordered. The 32-22 victory this past Saturday takes a great deal of pressure off the coaches and the players. It removes the fear of a repeat of last season. “It[the win] definitely takes alot of the pressure off,” said junior full back Wilson Moore. “It’s nice to get one under our belts and get to know what it feels like to get a win.” A good deal of the pressure during the game was allevi- ated by Centre themselves. For the first 30 rrrinutes of play, the Colonels self- destructed. They made error after error and gave the Gener- als ample opportunity to take the game over. Which they did ~ A big problem against Emory & Henry was W&L’s inability to capitalize on mistakes. They seemed to solve that problem against Centre. Fallon believes the team’s ability to capitalize on the mistakes gave them more and more confidence as the game went on. “It plants a real positive seed in their minds. With more success, they gained more confidence, and confidence is the biggest part of this game.” upset Colonels for first victory’ Junior Duane Van Arsdale got the ball rolling with an interception on Centre’s first possession of the game. The Generals promptly moved to the Colonels’ ten, where sophomore standout Michael MacLane scampered over the left side of the line for the first score of the game. On a day that saw almost an inch of rain, it was an impressive play just for MacLane to be able to cut like he did. Centre handed the Generals another gift on their next series. W&L’s defense held and the Colonels were forced to punt. However, Centre’s center snapped the ball ten yards over the punters head and the Generals took over inside the A few plays later, sophomore Geren Steiner connected with classmate William Propst on a ten-yard out for the generals second score of the afternoon. Propst did a beautiful job keeping at least one foot in bounds while getting inside the end zone marker. “We were able to move the ball well both running and passing,” said MacLane. “We mixed up the plays and their defense had to adjust every time.” Centre’s giving mood continued on their next series of downs. W&L’s defense held and again, Centre was forced to punt. It was an instant replay of the first attempt. The ball flew over the punter’s head and the Generals took over on the Colonels’ eight. W&L made quick work of this opportunity. Steiner found all-American punter, and back-up tight end, Bob Ehret on a roll-out to his right. The defense forgot about the 6’3’ ’, 205-pound senior and Steiner hit him in the middle of the end zone. At the end of the first quarter, the Generals had a commanding 20-0 lead. “Overall, the team did a nice job,” said Fallon. “The offense moved the ball around; the defense bent, but didn’t break; and our special teams played great. They put on nice rushes on the errant snaps.” Moore saw the offensive explosion as a combination of strong play out of the entire offense. “The line blocked a lot better this week, and Mac [MacLane] ran a lot harder. Also, Geren[Steiner] read the defenses better this game.” Moore was also being modest, because with the loss of Mark Goglia for the season, Moore had to switch from wide receiver to full back. Fallon thinks that moved added strength to the offense. “We had to move Wilson to full back and he added some punch to our passing attack,” said Fallon. “Also, since he's such a big, strong kid, he was to add power to our blocking and nmning game.” The lone highlight for Centre was the nmning of their star freshman, Kris Garrett. Garrett finished with 144 yards on 21 carries. Included in that total was a 44-yard TD run that was a thing of beauty. He avoided six or seven would-be tacklers with pure agility and speed. But that was it. The Generals and Colonels finished dead-even in total offense, 281-281, but then again, the Generals didn’t have far to go to get most of their points. Steiner had a good game. He had some problems throw- ing the ball with some zip, but he finished 11-for-23 for 73 yards, three TD passes, and most importantly, no intercep- tions. In fact, the Generals did not have any turnovers. MacLane was the big man on the ground again. He racked up 148 yards on 25 carries and two touchdowns, including an incredible 67-yard dash in the third quarter. Moore added 49 yards as the power back, he also caught one pass for a TD; Propst hauled in five passes for 27 yards and one touchdown. This week will be a different story, though. Randolph- Macon pays a visit to Wilson Field to be W&L’s Homecom- ing opponents. The Yellow-Jackets pose the same problem to the Gen- erals Emory & Henry did, they're big and fast. Fallon feels the team needs to continually improve to beat Randolph- Macon. “We can ’t afford to rest. If we want to win more, it means getting better. Randolph-Macon is a good team and we will need to play our best to win.” Photo by Leigh Allen, The Ring-tum Phi Sophomore Michael MacLane has been the spdk plug In the Generals’ offensive engine. In two games he has racked up 219 yards rushing. He will be a major factor in the Homecoming game against Randolph-Macon. SPORTS NOTEBOOK The lack of space given to this week's sports section has forced the sports editor to create a summary sec- tion for most of the fall sports. For all the coaches out there who are disap- pointed by this lack of attention, the sports editor apologizes. The journey begins with the W&L water polo team. Head coach Page Remillard took his young team on the road to compete in the Virginia State Championships at Richmond. The Generals entered the competi- tion as one of the top favorites, behind the host Spiders. W&L got off to a good start by dispatching Virginia 19-12. It was the young contingency that propelled the Generals to victory. Freshman PatMcKennaledthe scor- ing with six goals, giving him 17 on the season. Sophomore Derek DeVries contributed four, and junior Jacob Berrnan three in three. Senior P.J. Waicus kept up his out- standing play in goal by recording six saves. Next up for the Generals was an overrriatched Hampden-Sydney. W&L cruised to a 14-2 victory. Again, Remillard’s young players stepped in and got the job done. Berrnan continued his scoring barrage with four against the Tigers. Sophomore Tony Diederich added three, while sopho- more goalie David Silvester filled in nicely for Waicus by recording 15 saves and only allowing the two goals. This set-up the rematch with Rich- mond. Two weeks ago the Generals SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY student, Winston J aeb, founded Califomiaindoor, a rest- ‘ room advertising company that grossed over $100K while he was attending SCU full time.

Junior standout Greg Golub tried as hard as he could to keep W&L in the game. Golub recorded four goals inthe game to raisehis team- lead in the category to 25. But Richmond just was not going to be denied this win. The final, 16-10. Despite the numbers, Waicus ended with eight saves. Nextup for the Generals is the South- em Water Polo Tournament to be held Saturday and Sunday at the Cy Twombly Pool. Men's soccer is next on the list. The Generals have had a difficult time duplicating last year’s fast start. 'I‘hey’ve run into some tough oppo- nents, and at times have looked totally out of synch. This past week, they played two games that were like day and night. First up was Old Dominion Athletic Conference rival, Guilford. It was a shoot-out from the opening tap. W&L scored two goals in the first four minutes. Each time, the Generals used their heads to score. Senior Greg Williams took a comer kick out of the air and placed a perfect header over the outstretched arms of Guilford’s keeper. J uriiorlohn Robinson followed soon after with another header, this time off a free kick. Generals led 2-0. Then the defense began to fall apart. Guilford scored five goals the rest of the first half, and added one more in the Do You Want VISA & Mastercar Credit Cards?

Today, the Generals welcome Roanoke College to Liberty Hall Fields. W&L is 2-4 entering the contest and is looking to get back on the winning track. The volleyball team is having a rough time overcoming their lack of experience and their lack of blocking. However, they are managing to test a number of very talented teams. After coming within mere points of upsetting defending ODAC champi- ons Guilford, the Generals traveled to Tennessee to compete in the Maryville Tournament. They ended at 1-3. W&L opened up with a heart-break- irig loss to Asbury, 15-12 in the fifth. Senior co-captain Leslie Hess led the Generals with 15 kills, while freshman Cheryl Taurassi had 44 assists, two away from W&L’s single—match record. Leslie’s younger sister, Catherine, finished with 12 kills, while junior co- captain Tara Burns had 10. The Generals went on to beat Gallaudet three games to none; they loss their last two: to Thomas More, 3- 0, and Union, 3-0. W&L finished their week last night at Eastern Mennonite College. The Generals were looking to do against EMC what they couldn't against Guilford, beat a top ODAC opponent. It was not to be as the Generals fell, 15-4, 15-6, 16-14. The loss drops the Generals to 4-9 with Roanoke College coming to town on Friday evening. On the cross country front, it can- tinues to be the Josephine Schaeffer story. Schaeffer is two-for-two now with her win at the Dickinson Invita- tional. She ran a personal-best, 18:03, which was the fastest time recorded on the Dickinson course since 1987. It helped propel the Generals to a second place team fmish. Freshman Amy Mears and sopho- more Kim Herring both placed in the top ten to solidify W&L’s finish.

Senior Keith Rinn finished 13th overall and was W&L’s second fm- isher. Finally, men’s tennis opened their abbreviated fall schedule with the Rolex Regional Championships. Players from Division III schogls from all over the area came to compete. W&L’s top player, junior Robbie MacNaughton, made it to the semifi- nals in singles, losing to the eventual champion, Holden Knight of Christo- pher Newport. The big success came in doubl s, where MacNaughton teamed with ' freshman Pete Hammond to win the doubles title.

Widespread Panic was chosen by the SAB after Hansen coordinated with local booking and talent agencies. “We looked for bands that are on a set tour and will be in the region at the time.

Autumn is here, it’s football season and Washington and Lee students are about to partake in the Homecoming festivities. It's that once-a-year show when every- one is glad to see the recently, and not-so- recently, graduated. A time when the la- dies amaze with the new fall colors and the guys impress with the old ones. Immersed in the heart of this gala week- end is a football game. Meaningless for some, indispensable for others, and, for the rest, merely a side- show to the half-time activities. For the players on the field, it’sachance to impress a captive home crowd. ' This year’s game features one of the most heated rivalries in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, as the Generals welcome the Randolph-Ma- con Yellow Jackets to Wilson Field. The rivalry be- tween the Generals and the Yellow Jackets began back on Oct. 17, 1903. W&L won the first meeting 39-0. The totals for the last 89 years favor the Generals, who hold a 20-17-3 edge. Rando1ph—Macon holds the edge on W&L since 1980, 5-6-1 . Inthose 12 games, the Yellow Jackets have outscored the Generals 256-220. Some of the games have had huge im- plications on the Generals’ seasons. In 1981, the Generals won their first Old Dominion Athletic Conference title under Gary Fallon. The Generals went 8-2 that year, 4-1 in the ODAC. Their only loss in conference play was to Randolph-Ma- con in a heart-breaker at Day Field, 13-10. In 1984, the Yellow Jackets crushed the Generals 49-9. It was one of the worst defeats W&L has suffered under Fallon. The Generals got revenge in 1985, heat- ing Randolph-Macon 31-19. The win pro- pelled W&L to its second ODAC title during Fallon’s tenure, During the past two years, the Yellow Jackets have won by an average of 27-7. That does not diminish the intensity of the rivalry, however. In fact, it only adds fuel to an already out-of-control fire.

A Photo by Mallory Meyers, 7'he Fling-tum Phi and Plna Benlncasa W0l'k on the Decorations, parade return as Homecoming traditions By CATHY MCCULLOUGH Special to The Ring-tum Phi When one thinks of Washington and Lee, one thinks of traditions such as the Honor System, the Speaking Tradition, Mock Convention and Fancy Dress. But all of these traditions, with the exception of the Honor System, have experienced absences from the W&L campus at some time. Forttmately the students and faculty did what they could to revive these customs. And this year, yet another W&L tradi- tion will be resurrected: the Homecom- ing Parade. Beginning at 11 a.m. on the day of the Homecoming game, the parade will be- gin its course at Brewbaker Field, make its way down Main Street and Washing- ton Street, and then proceed out Route 60 ending at the Liberty Hall Ruins. All campus organizations have been invited to submit a float or convertible to partici- pate in the parade. Although this year’s parade will have a different format from the parades of long ago, organizers hope it will generate spirit and enthusiasm. The 1992 Homecoming parade will combine the ideas of fraternity decora- tions which began in the 1930s, with the idea of the students marching through town before the game, a tradition that began in the 1940s. Former Professor of Politics William Buchanan, who graduated from W&L in 1941, recalls lavishly decorated frater- nity houses. Chicken wire, colored crepe paper, and electric lights adorned the houses. The night before the game, the stu- dents gathered in front of Doremus gym- nasium for a rally, which was followed by an informal dance. At this dance the freshmen were re- quired to wear green bow ties. The color showed their naiveté and “innocence, and the bow ties could “designate a freshman like nothing else” reported the 1934 Homecoming issue of TheRing-tum Phi. Former Professor of English Sydney Coulling, '46, remembers the Pajama Parade. The first year students had to march from the gym through town carry- ing torches in their pajamas. In cold weather, the freshmen had to wear their coats and ties underneath their sleep wear. The parade route took the freshmen back to Doremus. With their torches, the freshmen would light a bonfire in front of the gym. A pep rally then followed. Once the pep rally came to a close, the students toppedofftheirevening by crash- ing the State Theater for a free movie. The theater received so much business from the students during the school year that they allowed this one indulgence. In the late 1950s, the fraternity deco- rations and Pajama Parade were still part of the Homecoming agenda. The fresh- men not only looked forward to the week- end to prance through town, but they also anticipated the football game. Professor of History Holt Merchant, ’61, said that when he was at W&L the fate of the Homecoming game was of particular importance to the freshmen. If the Generals won, they no longer had to wear their beanies; they could burn the hats after the game. In the late 1960s, some of the other W&L traditions died out for a while, and so did those of Homecoming. The idea of restoring the Homecom- ing parade arose from the huge success of the Mock Convention parade in March. Members of Kathekon, the student alumni association, have been working with stu- dents and city officials to organize the event. Campus organizations, fraternities and sororities, the local school bands, fire departments and even past Homecoming queens will participate in the parade. The winner of the float competition will be announced during half-time of the Homecoming game, along with the ‘Homecoming queen. The Alumni Office plans to present a three-foot trophy adorned with a mink at the base to the winning organization.

Maybe that's not the case with Assis- tant Alumni Director Rob Mish and Alumni Staff Associate Matthew Felber, who ascended the attic’s stairs to find that perfect “gag” prize for the winner of this weekend’s Homecoming Parade float competition a moosehead. Mish said while in search for the moosehead, he and Felber changed their minds. Ideas for potential awards degener- ated from the moosehead to a “big tacky trophy” with something “W&L about it.”A stuffed mink was their final idea. The two-tiered trophy is three feet high and displays a 18-inch stuffed mink wearing a W&L “Class of 20??” T- shirt. Nearly 30 W&L organizations plan to participate in the parade. Each float will be judged on how well the creators demonstrate originality/creativity, design/execution and spirit. Tom Hooper, president of Kathekon and grand marshall of the parade will present the mink trophy to the winning organization, but it will be on pennanent display at the Co-op/Bookstore, Mish said. Each year's Homecoming parade float competition winners will have their names engraved on the trophy. The winning organization will receive a smaller trophy to keep. History Professor and University His- torian Taylor Sanders said the story of the mink at W&L goes back to the 1830s, when VMI was founded. He said Washington College students would call the cadets “rats” because they looked “gray and scruffy” in their gray uniforms, and the VMI cadets nicknamed Washington College students “minks” because they were “sleek and mean. ”I'he cadets, who had a curfew of about 1 l p.m. on the weekends, were resentful that Washington College stu- dents would wait at the gate and pick up the cadets’ dates when they went in. “Minks are awful animals,” Matt Felber said, grinning. “They're called thieves of the night.” s<»A»L<»Ei HOMECOMING SPECIALS SUITS — SPORT COATS — o o 0 or o 0 Check our new Timberland TIES - College Town Shop 111 W.

This year, members of the class of 1942 will join the distinguished ranks of the Five-StarGenerals,anhonorheldbya1un1ni who graduated more than 50 years ago. Joining the Five-Stars in this year’s Homecoming activities will be those at- tending a Cluster Reunion for alumni who have graduated since 1989. Planned ac- tivities include a luncheon on the Front Lawn Friday afternoon, a special Home- coming seminar given by professors Holt Merchant and Taylor Sanders, and a recep- tion to meet the Homecoming queen nomi- nees at the Alumni House. For the Five-Stars, this schedule seems tame when compared to the one they kept during their undergraduate days. “It was the bi g—time fall deal,” says Lauren Wild, ’38, about Homecoming. The first event of Homecoming week- ends 50 years ago was a Friday night pep rally in Doremus. After the pep rally, the freshmen had to panicipate in a torch light pajama parade. Former W&L professor Sidney Coulling, ’48, said, “Since proper dress was required of Washington and Lee men at all times, freshmen would put their pajamas on over their coat and tie.” Then, with freshman beanies and torches, they would parade down main street behind the W&L band.

Don't Let The Holidays W&L dances to the Tony Pastor '- v Orchestra in 1941 always ended at the State Theatre on Nelson Street, when hundreds of W&L men re- fused to pay admission and walked into the theater to see a free show. “Of course, the show they played for Homecoming usually wasn’t worth pay- ing for,” Coulling said. The next Homecoming event would be the first of three dances held during the weekend. The women who were expected to arrive in Lexington as dates would be listed in the Homecoming issue of The Ring-tum Phi by fraternity house. For the class of ’42’s last undergraduate Home- coming, the Phi reported, “The Phi Delts lead the list with thirty-three visiting girls.” The Homecoming dances were led by a “figure,” in which a lady and her escort The Ring-tum Phl, October 1 , 1992 were announced, then waited in a pre- scribed figure for the announcement of the other ladies. Friday night was the Sopho- more Prom. On Saturday morning, the fraternity houses would be judged for the decora- tions they had erected to support the “Big Blue Eleven,”a.ka. Generals football team. “No one would ever miss the football game,” Wild recalled. The attendance of- ten ran as high as 8,000. The Generals ’ fate in the Homecoming game was of particu- lar interest to freshmen, who could toss their beanies for good if the Blue won. After the game, it was time to dance again at the post-game tea dance. Saturday night brought the Cotillion Club dance, which featured the announcement of the Phi Gamma Delta's hospltal takes thlrd in the 1937 house decoration contest. winner of the decorations contest. In 1941, Kappa Sigma took top honors for their display. The 1941 dance was also broadcast over the Mutual Broadcast Sys- tem, and University President Francis P. Gaines addressed alumni who could not make it back to Lexington. The '41 Homecoming was declared the best yet, a perception sharpened in the memory of its participants by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Pearl Harbor ad- dress and the changes it brought. The class of 1942 lost 17 members to fighting in World War 11. Many students were commissioned immediately and did not return for their diplomas until the mid- 1940s. But return they did, as they will again this weekend. Happy Homecoming!
