By NANCY PAVLOVIC Phi Contributing Writer Phi Delta Theta’s house corporation suspended all chapter functions for the remainder of fall term to punish the chapter for damage done to their house during Homecoming weekend. Also, Kappa Alpha was put on social probation for the rest of fall term by their national organization for violating alcohol policy during Tear Weekend. The Interfraternity Council Tuesday approved putting Phi Delt on “extensive social probation” for damage done at a party with Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delt President Jim Eddings said. During the party, a $500 chair was broken when a Beta alum and a Phi Delt brother fell on it while wrestling. Eddings also said partitions between stalls in an upstairs bathroom were pulled out of the wall by a sophomore Phi Delt pledge. A In addition to being prohibited from holding so- cial events, Phi Delt must close its kitchen. Eddings said members’ food money will be refunded. Only men who live at the fraternity house will be allowed inside. Members who broke the chair will pay for a replacement, Eddings said. “Extensive social probation is not the worst they could do to us, but it is still serious,” Eddings said. “We are not going to be a social entity until we clean up our act." Eddings said Phi Delt was already on social pro- bation for rush violations when the damage occurred. He said Associate Dean of Students for Greek Affairs Leroy C. “Buddy” Atkins came to inspect the house the morning after the party, after he received a call- from a house corporation member. “Basically, he told us we ought to start packing our bags,” Eddings said. Atkins said the damage was just the most recent in a string of incidents at Phi Delt. “It was a minor incident, but there have been a number of minor incidents at Phi Delt in the past," Atkins said. n forbuying alcohol, serving minors Eddings acknowledged that Phi Delt has a history of damaging their newly renovated house since they moved in January 1991. “It’s mostly stupid little boy stuff, ” Eddings said. “Every fraternity breaks things, but at Phi Delt we do it more often.” Phi Delt’s housemother said she believes the members deserved the punishment. “Closing the kitchen and taking their parties away would not seem fair if it was just everyday wear and tear, but this was deliberate damage to the chair and wall,” Mata McGuire said. “The house corporation had every reason to punish them because it was deliberate.” Some members said the house corporation was pressured by the administration to impose such a harsh sentence. “Atkins told the house corporation how serious he took the situation and they're trying to equal his feelings via the punishment,” said a member who 0 See PHI DELT, page 6 ‘ CLU renews '.tdget battle By FRANCESCA KEFALAS Phi Staff Writer C W&L’s ACLU President Andrew Schneider demanded onday that the EC re-evaluate its decision to deny his A cup funding.

Schneider said the ACLU is not different from Amnesty International, which received $700 from the BC. In other business, junior EC Rep. Jimmy Kull said he met with Dean of Students David L. Howison and Director of Communications Brain Shaw to discuss a plan that would allow students to work off their car tax in community service hours. Kull said both Howison and Shaw like the idea, but both said they believe Mayor H. E. “Buddy” Derrick would not. Kull said he will meet with Derrick soon. The plan would be “a two-win situation,” Kull said. The EC also took a second vote on the budget and passed it uianimously.

The university armounced plans last week to build a three to four foot brick wall along Wash- ington and Jefferson streets to replace the black metal railing that currently borders the front cam- pus. W&L Director of Capital Planning Frank Par- sons presented plans for the wall to the Lexington Planning Commission last Thursday. “That railing has been part of our campus for so long that it's almost invisible,” Parsons said. “But it’s actually ugly as sin.” Parsons said he did not want Lexington resi- dents to view the wall as something designed to keep them away from the W&L campus. “It’s a friendly wall,” Parsons said. “It’s the kind of wall you cart sit on.” Parsons said the $175,000 for the project is being raised by the class of ’43. The wall will commemorate the 19 members of that class who were killed in World War II and will bearaplaque with their names. The wall will extend from either side of the war memorial at the entrance to the Corral on Jefferson Street. The wall will stretch to Letcher Avenue on the north and to Washington Street on the south. At the corner of Jefferson and Wash- ington, a raised concave portion of the wall will display “Washington and Lee University, founded 1749." According to an architect’s sketch, the wall will be constructed of red brick to match existing brick walls in Red Square. Parsons said constnrction on the wall will begin as soon as the Lexington City Council gives final approval of the project. He said the wall will be built in stages, as money is raised by the class. Parson said he is confident that the money will be raised in time to complete the wall by Alumni Weekend in May, when the class of '43 will have its 50th armiversary. “There are-several individuals in this class who have the means to undertake the entire project," Parsons said.

By MICHAEL Hnwurrr Phi Contributing Writer Washington and Lee's student po- liticos are getting busy as the Presiden- tial election edges closer. College Democrat President Cottie Miles said his organization will set up phone banks in November to call reg- istered voters and encourage them to vote. Also, Miles said the College Democrats have plans to go to Wash- ington, D.C., to see Democratic presi- dential candidate Bill Clinton’s inau- guration, if Clinton wins the election. Miles also said literature booths will open this weekend at Kmart from noon until 4 p.m. Students will hand out political literature with information about Clinton and his stand on issues. College Republicans Chairman Amanda Stewart said the College Re- publicans plan to work with Bob Goodlatte. a candidate for Virginia's 6th Congressional District. At local football games, students will pass out flyers about Goodlatte. Christine Will, secretary of the Col- lege Republicans, said her group plans VMI-W&L fight prompts attempt By Kxrna YDEL Phi Staff Writer A fight last"we‘e'k‘l5etwe€riVMI ca- dets and a W&L student has prompted administrators from the two schools to try to ease tensions between the student bodies. Washington and Lee Dean of Stu- dents David L. Howison and Virginia Military Institute Commandant Mike Bissell met Monday with students who were involved in a fight Oct. 8 that sent one W&L student to the hospital. “The purpose [of the meeting] was not so much why [the fight] happened, but how we can ease the tension," Howison said. Howison said he met with Bissell, thetwo cadets from VMI and two W&L students to discuss the history of con- flict between the two schools. The most recent violent encounter between cadets and W&L students oc- curred early Oct. 8 in Red Square. Chris Murphy, a member of Beta Theta Pi, said a VMI cadet came to the Beta house at about 3 a.m. The cadet and the W&L students exchanged in- sults, and the cadet and Phi Delta Theta member Josh Helton got in a fight. Murphy said the cadet was injured and had to get two or three stitches in hislip. Bissell said the fight started when the cadet came over to have a cigarette and talk to a few W&L students on the street outside the Beta house. Accord- ing to Bissell, the cadet was approached by a group of students who knocked his cigarette down and smashed his fingers when he tried to pick it up. After the cadet went back to the barracks, five or six other cadets re- at reconcilation turned to Red Square at about 5 a.m., Howison said. According to W&L Se- curity Director Mike Young, the first cadet was not in the group that re- turned. The second group of cadets went to the Beta house and then to Phi Delt, looking for Helton, Young said. Murphy said a cadet went to Helton’s room and told Helton that the police were outside and wanted to talk to him. Murphy said that once Helton got outside, he and one of the cadets got in a fight. Young said the cadet knocked out three of Helton’s teeth. Bissell said the cadets who came to the Phi Delt house just wanted to talk to Helton about what had happened earlier, and that the cadet who entered the Phi Delt house did not tell Helton that the police were outside. Murphy said Howison called him Monday to talk about the incident. “We decided it would be a good idea to have a meeting to clear the air and make amends,” Murphy said. Murphy and Helton were at the meeting along with two of the cadets involved in the fights. Howison said the group cleared up many misunder- standings between the two schools. The students mostly discussed the differences between the two schools, Howison said, and they agreed the differences could be worked out. “I didn't sense any hostility,” said Howison. “I thought they genuinely wanted to work this out.” Students from both schools agreed that they would work to promote better relations between schools, to prevent anyone else from getting hurt. “We came to an understanding that we would do our best to talk positively about the other schools,” Murphy said.

OCR::/Vol_092/WLURG39_RTP_19921015/WLURG39_RTP_19921015_002.2.txt PAGE 2 Glitz ‘tiling-tunt lfllti Founded September 18, 1897 Punishments teach the wrong lessons Washington and Lee preaches honor and civility as its highest virtues, virtues individual students are held accountable to by the Executive Committee and the Student Conduct Committee. One - would think the administration of a university steeped in such traditions would be all the more intent on instilling good moral values in its students. Recent events, however, have shown that the university’s lessons are doing anything but instructing students on the proper ways to live their lives. Lesson Number One: Justice is not blind. In reprimanding fraternities for destroying their houses, the, university administration seems to be following the Orwellian rule that some fraternities are more equal than others. Last year, the university suspended Delta Tau Delta fraternity for one and a half years after three Delts wreaked havoc in their soon-to-be reno- vated house. When asked why the punishment was so severe, Dean of Students David Howison proclaimed that Delt’s punish- ment was “the new standard” for fraternities. ‘ Perhaps it is the old standard. Less than one year after the Delt decision the newly renovated Phi Delta Theta house suffered at the hands of a few brothers and pledges. According to the university’s self-proclaimed standards, Phi Delt should have been suspended A at least until next fall. But Phi Delt was only partially suspended for three months. Why the change of rules? Perhaps the administration doesn’t want to lose one of the larger houses on campus. Perhaps influen- tial Phi Delt alumni turned the heat on under the university's toes. Or maybe the university realized the Delt decision was a grave mistake. Lesson Number Two: Individuals can hide behind the curtain of a group. When the administration decided to suspend Delt last winter, they set a patently unfair precedent. An entire fraternity suffered for the irresponsible actions of three of its members. Two of those members have graduated and one was expelled from the fraternity. But the remaining brothers are suffering for the actions of those three. Are we being taught that brotherhood should be so strong as to force an innocent person to sacrifice himself for the stupid and irresponsible actions of another? No affiliation can ever make someone responsible for events beyond his control; just joining a group does not force an individual to give up independent thought and actions. Still, the university has decided to continue teaching herd morality. The entire Phi Delt house is being punished for the transgressions of one or two. Perhaps the university decided to maintain one of its own standards and punish the entire Phi Delt as it did the Delt house. Perhaps the university is missing the point. The administration has erred doubly. First they applied an unjust standard to Delt. Then they changed the rules, yet left them unjust. The only way to rectify both mistakes is to punish the individuals responsible for the damage in Phi Delt, and to allow Delt back on campus immediately. The student body of Washington and Lee is made up of unique individuals. Students are not cattle to be herded together by accusations or punishments. The administration should laud indi- viduals for their accomplishments and make them rectify their mistakes. Do not lump them all together in categories for convenience’s sake. To do so is to teach a lesson far removed from this university’s standards of honor and civility. C.L. , F.K.

If Bush and Co. had gotten their way, a White House official confirms, the President would have strode onto the Missouri stage armed with the same staff—drafted ‘ ‘talking points” he’sbeen reading on the stump in TV interviews. Sadly for the script-addicted Presi- dent, it didn’t work out that way. Nego- tiators for Clinton and rimning mate Al Gore rejected the idea of candidates bringing “notes” to the televised de- bates during the early hours of Oct. 3. Indeed, they threatened to add in- sult to injury, dating the President's representatives to let the debate talks founder over the Bush-Quayle desire to bring “Cliff Notes” onto the stage with them. The effort of the President's han- dlers to arm their man with “notes” for his prime-time debates with Clinton and independent Ross Perot is, itself, a nasty confession of Bush’s re-election predicament. A President who once derided press concerns about his lack of a “vision thing” now find himself relying on other peoples’ words to de- fend his own presidency.

Fallacies of trade agreement cleared up WASHINGTON— The fact that the North Ameri- can Free Trade Agreement has caused Bill Clinton anxiety indicates why he causes anxiety: Some of his better instincts seem to flicker like candles in the wind when they conflict 6 lar industries and interests. However, NAFTA is progress. Today Mexican tariffs are, on average, two and a half times higher than U.S. tariffs. (Clinton’s support . for NAFTA may have with the strong, steady ap- 'less to do with a philoso'- A petites of some of his con- GEORGE WILL phy of freedom than with stituencies. Still, his en- a political calculation: dorsement of NAFTA—— Washington Past Writers Group Michigan, Ohio and Illi- grudging and guarded nois are among the 10 though it was, and not for the right reasons—is a mildly encouraging portent of the probable Clinton presidency. It is said that NAFTA will, if ratified, create the world’s largest common market, encompassing 365 million consumers, 20 million more than the Euro- pean Community. But it will not really be like the common market that now extends from Maine to California. NAFTA is not nearly as good as it’s cracked up to be by its supporters becaifse it is not what it is said to be It is not really a free trade agreement. In fact, a 2,0()0-page free trade agreement is a contradiction in terms. Twenty paragraphs would suffice to establish really free trade, which does not require armies of bureaucrats to enforce the hairsplittings of legions of lawyers. NAFTA reduces many trade barriers, but, in ef- fect, moves others outward, to serve as ramparts around Mexico, Canada and the United States. Con- sider, for example, the “rules of origin” regulating domestic content requirements of goods defined as “North American.” The rules include this triple niggle regarding textiles: North American yarn must be used in fabrics made in North America for clothes cut in North America. NAFTA creates a regional bloc to rival, and impede, the exporting Pacific Rim nations. Many of the 2,000 pages, properly deciphered, record U.S., Canadian and Mexican jockeying to protect particu- states selling most to _ Mexico.) NAFTA will quickly mean cheaper and more plentiful fruits and vegetables, products currently subject to tariffs pro- tecting U.S. farmers. NAFTA will, after a 15-year phase-in, further link the commercial lives of three nations that already have huge trade flows with each other. Critics of NAFTA cite the disparities of development between the United States and Mexico, with its population of 85 million (four times that of Canada.) They fear the flow southward of low-skill jobs. « But the Mexican economy is just one-twentietli the size of the U.S. economy, and the Bush adminis- tration guesses that the increased bilateral trade would increase U.S. GNP only slightly. Ross Perot, the timidest Texan, quakes about the menace of Mexico, saying NAFTA would apply “a giant sucking—sound vacuum on what used to be industrial America.” NAFTA is especially important in forcing people to define their stance toward the future. Are they too timid about change? Are they too confident they can discern the shape of the future? Recent administration testimony supporting NAFTA resulted in this cockamamie headline: “Trade Pact Could Cost Up to 150,000 Jobs” The administration also says there would be 325,000 new jobs created in the first five years, a net gain of 175,000. But stay with the idea of “lost jobs.” lftlie mental- ity common among NAFTA’s liberal critics had prevailed when the automobile industry was in its infancy, government might have strangled the infant _ in its cradle—in the name of “compassion," of course. The Richard Gephardts of that day would have said: Pity the poor tanners, hamess-makers, buggy , and buggy-whip manufacturers, livery stable opera- tors, blacksmiths——woe!

A President Clinton and a Democratic Congress could have a grand time using NAFTA as an excuse for spending and regulating (called “tran- sition strategies”) to help those hurt by freer trade, and those who think they are entitled to compenst tion for any inconvenience of change. But if Clinton gets to the White House he should hew to the most sensible sentiment he uttered on the way there: “Protectionism is just a fancy word for giving up.” ©1992, Washington Post Writers Group LETTERS W&L comunity receives resounding thanks - Dear Editor: Wildcats.

However, while approaching the check- out line he sees a man in an overcoat there and a very frightened sales clerk nervously handing over every copy of Bloated Buns and Gals From Girls Schools. Upon closer observation, Dick realizes that the man in the overcoat has a gun and is actually robbing the store of its entire inventory of those magazines! Dick can no longer handle himself. He's disturbed that the man is holding up the store, but even more agitated that he is taking Dick’s only true love. Fear and hate and anger boiling within him, and excitement tingling him be- cause of his capacity to feel these emo- tions, Dick suddenly drops his twinkies and begins to....enlarge! Bursting out of his clothes and physically trans- forming, Dick becomes an eight-foot erection within 10 seconds! Not knowing what has happened to him,and not caring at thispoint in time, Dick starts to yell at the thief, but finds that he does not quite know how. Now even more frustrated, he begins to pump himself up and down to try and facili- tate some type of movement. The crook hears this commotion and turns, horrified by this huge pha1lic...thing. He is now scared and fires a shot at it. Dick miraculously dodges the bullet but can no longer contain himself. In a frenzy of uncontrolled spasms, he ejaculates, covering the criminal in an extremely viscous liquid, rendering him defenseless. After a few minutes of twitching Dick relaxes, returning back to nomial, thoroughly exhausted. He graciously takes the copies of his wanted maga- zines, free of charge, and staggers home, not quite understanding what tran- spired, but conscious enough to know that he will have to save Bloated Buns for tomorrow. rm-;m( TKAMSPOKTER PxC.Cll)ENT OPENS A T-2\Fi' (N TIME, Ti>(l7°\P0§’lt~l(: Two CULT!/(KES or emozmowl r r I Ji LET ME oer THl$ smA\eHT~ ’ You SAlL AROUND THE Hm/ens 1>tsco\/e'e\He NEW W09‘-D 3, L°°""“" %‘I>MTHlvM <’»sV~‘~T+w%“ AND wNV€RT'NG ‘:1’ ; NA'n;ve's v To Acme ma ,__¥ll./.U\/_W\N.l SIM ? it “\ \wcT /.l,. 1 if ‘ hilt 19.3 <:§ DAMM 1T KIM’ "£'IV\ _ A §QQ,Tc)KI NOT‘ P>»_V_,.-- c.

According to Barnes, the SAB re- ceived $63,000 from EC this year, $8,000 more than last year. With this money, Barnes said that SAB will be able to sponsor more events and provide better publicity for those events. “We doubled our request for pub- licity,” Barnes said. Barnes said publicity was a prob- lem for SAB last year, “especially at smaller events.” According to Barnes, SAB has ‘nearly finalized plans for the Spin Doc- tors to play at the Pavilion on Christ- mas Weekend. “It’s as sure as sure can be,” he said. In addition to booking bands like the Spin Doctors for big weekends, Barnes said SAB plans to host bands in the General Headquarters. According to Barnes, SAB has booked the Super Grit Cowboy Band for Oct. 21. and a Dixieland jazz band for Oct. 28. Barnes said SAB has tentative plans to book the Dave Matthews Band, Dash Rip Rock and Valence for other dates in the GHQ. SAB also has plans to host a jazz band during winter term and to have SGG&L play on the Colonnade in the spring. SAB will also sponsor a cocktail party in the Fairfax Lounge for Parents Weekend. Recently, SAB has sponsored mov- ies in the newly reopened Troubadour Theater. t According to Barnes, movies will be shown in the Troubadour Theater on the first Sunday of each month. As for this year’ s Fancy Dress band, Barnes said that booking a good band depends on who is touring in the area at the time. “A lot of itis just luck,” he said. “It’s a bad touring time for bands.” VF You fllre Corc[ia[[y I noitecf to L1 Tczrents ‘Weekend’ Reception frictay, Octolier 23 4:30 - 6:30 pm. in Qaines Qatenouse‘ Sponsored Ey The King-‘Tum Tfii and tlie Society of Trofessionaijournafists flllfmemfiers of the ‘W551. community and parents are invited to attend. -1 JJ Photo by Mallory Meyers, The Fling-tum Twln brothers Martin and Jason Dunn discuss plans for proposed VMI-W&L group. q 1 Brothers plan W&L-VMI group By CAMERON HUDDLESTON Phi Staff Writer A family bond has motivated two brothers to overcome the rivalry of two adjacent yet ironically isolated schools, Washington and Lee and Vir- ginia Military Institute. W&L junior Jason Dunn and his twin brother, Martin, who attends VMI, have set upon a course to unite students from the two schools. “I’d like to have something more in common [with VMI] sporting events,” Jason said. “We’re not looking to make a great union between the schools. We just want some sortof tie,” Martin said. Jason and his brother are in the planning stage of establishing an orga- nization comprised of students from both schools. Jason said the organization will be community service oriented and will occasionally sponsor historical lectures at Lee Chapel and VMI’s Jackson Hall open to all students from both schools. Jason has already contacted VMI historians, who said they are willing to speak on the history of the two schools. “You’d think there couldn't be any schools more different. But both are tradition oriented, and both have a strong honor system,” Jason said. Before the semester began, Jason presented his idea to Dean of Students David Howison, who expressed full support of the potential organization. Howison and Commandant Mike BissellatVMIhadpreviouslydiscussed the idea of such an organization but did not go forward with the idea because of a lack of student interest, Jason said. Both Bissell and Howison are offer- ing Jason and Martin full support but are allowing the brothers to take the initiative to establish the organization on their own. “I’m not really an organizational person. I've never done anything like this before,” Jason said. Nonetheless, Martin said Jason is the true organizer while he is merely gaining support from fellow VMI ca- dets. He and his brother have decided to form a committee or “think tank” of three or four students from each school to develop the goals of the organiza- tion. If all goes well, Jason would like to have a meeting of this committee be- fore the end of the month. Once they have accomplished this, they will present the idea to the Lex- ington Leadership Council, which is comprised of W&L and VMI adminis- trators and Lexington city leaders. Howison suggested taking this route as a means of gaining further support for the establishment of the organiza- tion. . Jason has also discussed the idea with Executive Committee President Josh McFarland and EC Vice Pres‘! dent Ames Hutton, who he said sup- port the formation of the organization 100 percent and will provide financial support through the EC. “It's all up to me now,” Jason said Jason said he would have formed the organization earlier if he had reai ized the need for it. _ He said he had always been aware of VMI’s presence, but conflicts be- tween the two schools did not become apparent to him until his sophomore year. Jason said that the thing that realb; focused his attention on the two schools was a recent article in The Ring-tum Phi concerning a fight between VMI cadets and W&L students. “I want it [the organization] to be positive and not justa reactionary thing. I want it to be more than a way to shot; cadets aren’t bad,” he said. So far, Jason has received support from students at both schools, but he hopes to gain even more, especially from freshmen and sophomores. Considering they only have one more year before they graduate, J asog and Martin are counting on that year to strengthen the organization. “I hope it doesn’t end as soon as my brother and I graduate,” Martin said. pres en ts 21,, ifim OCR::/Vol_092/WLURG39_RTP_19921015/WLURG39_RTP_19921015_005.2.txt Q "1 e Ring-tum Phl, October 1 5, 1992 FEATURES . 9 510,- X inin 0.0 .0 i - year include Choral Fan- fare.

McDermott said he began organizing the group last spring and got a very positive response from students and alumni. “People know how the disease is spread and they know how to protect themselves, but the percentage of people who practice safe sex is way too low,” McDermott said. He said the major goal of the W&L AIDS Education Project is to increase that percentage. The project’s other aim is to heighten the level of compassion for people McDermott said the group will plans AIDS aware- ness activities during the year and will promote their goal by distributing information and hosting speakers. Rob Catrere, '72, a clinical psychologist, will speak Nov. 10 “The fact that no student has publicly announced that he or she is HIV-positive does not mean we don’t have HIV-positive students on campus,” said McDermott. McDermott said the group also hopes to bring sec- tions of the AIDS quilt to Lexington for display. The quilt was first displayed in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 11, 1987, and contained 8288 three-by-six-foot cloth panels. On Saturday, the quilt covered 15 acres in front of the Washington Monument and contained more than 20,000 panels, each unique. While statistics coldly indicate the havoc AIDS has wreaked, the quilt brings the people who make up the statistics vividly to life. “Visiting the quilt provides a perfect opportunity for people to begin talk about the many difficult issues surrounding HIV and AIDS,” according to booklets distributed by The Names Project, the group respon- sible for displaying the quilt.

Associate Dean of Students for Freshmen Dennis Manning saidhe will make FOC part of the university’s regu- lar budget, instead of having to get bits and pieces of its budget from different places. Co—chair Phil McKoy said FOC has traditionally relied on the Executive Committee, the Dean of Students and the Associate‘ Dean of Students for Freshmen for funding . “Money shouldn’t have to come from EC. FOC should have a perma- nent account under the school with control by the dean of freshmen,” McKoy said. Manning said the money he has given the FOC in the past comes out of the budget for the freshman dorms. “Basically FOC takes up all the J money we could use for dorm activities during the year,” Manning said. Expenditures for FOC this year in- cluded t-shirts, the Freshman Record, rental costs of a bowling alley and miniature golf course, a band on Pizza Night, transportation, entertainment during the Adopt-A-Freshman dinner and Playfair, a professional group that leads ice-breaker games. The FOC spent $12,600 on orienta- tion this year. Last year, FOC received $500 from the EC. This year, the co-chairs peti- Hearing board members named By JEANNE BRIGGS Phi Contributing Writer Juniors Laura Voeckel and Justin Bakule were appointed by the Execu- tive Committee to serve on the new Student-Faculty Hearing Board. The SFHB hears and adjudicates complaints of sexual misconduct that involve students at Washington and Lee. The board is made up of four students and four faculty members. Voeckel and Bakule join seniors Romana Franks and Michael Bergin. Faculty members are Associate Pro- fessor of Romance Languages Cecile West—Settle, Professor of Law Brian Murchison, Professor of Art History Pamela Simpson, and Professor of Phi Delt, KAon social probation El PHI DELT, from page 1 asked not to be identified. Eddings agreed. “The severity of the punishment is stemming from the Hill,” he said. “Right now they ‘are trying to appease Buddy [Atkins].” Eddings said the chapter has cre- ated new rules for when things are broken and hopes that this punishment will put an end to damage at Phi Delt. “What the house corporation has The Ring-tum Phi, October 15, 199 I « FOC Co-chairs Teresa Williams and Robert Wilson prepare for I this year's freshman orientation. tioned the EC to cover the $13,000 cost of orientation, but only received $2,000. “The EC said they didn’t want to give us the full amount because they didn’t want the university to believe the FOC had become a part of SAB,” FOC Co—chair Carlin Jones said. Although a university account has been established and an increase in funding from the EC has been pro- vided, Manning is still in the process of creating a separate line item for the FOC budgeting process, but to do so he Chemistry William Watt. Voekel is a dorm counselor and has led freshman date-rape seminars. ‘ ‘I realize [sexual assault] is a major problem on this campus, and it is im- portant that it is dealt with in a respon- sible way,” she said. Voekel said she considers herself a good listener and hopes to be able to be impartial as a board member. Bakule said he felt the role of the committee was not only to ajudicate cases of sexual misconduct but to edu- cate students about sexual assault on campus. “The key for all of us is bringing fairness [to the board],’ ’ he said. Bakule also serves as adorrn counselor and has led a date rape seminar. The board was formed last spring done is in the best interest of the house and hopefully we can learn from it,” Eddings said. “We ’renot all heathens .” Meanwhile, KA will also be out of commission socially for the rest of fall term. < KA President Hank Huff said the fratemity’s national office put the W&L chapter on social probation for violat- ing alcohol policy on Sept. 26. Huff said KA did not card people coming to a party and served alcohol bought with chapter funds on the Sat- C Photo by Leigh Allen, The Ring-t I P must receive approval from the Boar of Trustees. “I think FOC has grown in size and ‘ scope to warrant funding,” Manging» said. “It provides a meaningful experi- l ence for upperclassmen during the year. and clearly benefits the freshmen.” McKoy said orientation is too im- portant to skimp on. “We’re trying to orient one-fourth of the student body to W&L tradit' n,’ McKoy said. “We shouldn’t hold ck. at all [financially].” after the dissolution of the ConfiRen- tial Review Committee, which wa previously responsible for cases of physical as well as verbal assault. The‘ SFHB does not have the authority t‘ hear verbal assault cases. ‘I, Sexual misconduct is defined as ‘ ‘in- I appropriate physical conduct or threa ._ of a physical nature" by the Statement on Personal Conduct published by the» Dean of Students Office. ; Students who believe they are vic-I tims of sexual misconduct can bring“ their complaints to Associate Dean of Students Anece McCloud, who ac% as” a mediator in all cases.

Over the past 8 games, W&L has w only twice. - t weekend's tournament at the Java] Academy yielded a 1-3 mark, ‘I. ropping the team to 9-9 for the year. During the eight games, W&L faced * 1 )me of the East Coast’s top teams. In th e toumament-opener, the Generals w pitted against Slippery Rock— th 2 o.1teamontheEastCoast(ranked N . 10 in the nation). Slippery Rock had beaten W&L 19- 3 e week before. The Generals lost the rematch, but behind the efforts of sop omore Derek DeVries, the team do bled their previous output, falling 18 ’. The Generals rebounded with a 16- 10 win over Queens. Points leader junior Greg Golub blasted a season- high 6 goals by the Queens keeper, which proved to be the margin of vic- tory in the team’s second win over Queens this season. Navy proved to be too much for W&L in the tearn’s third match of the weekend, stopping the Generals 15-3. The 11-9 overtime loss to Johns Hopkins in the final game of the week- I end was much more disquieting. “The Hopkins game was frustrating for us. We weren’t sharp and I wasn’t happy with the rotations Ihad created,” said head coach Page Remillard. “I don’t think we went into the game with the right frame of mind. All that's his- tory, that was a game we shouldn't have lost.” . Despite the team’s apparent rever- sal in fortunes, Remillard is quick to point out that the mistakes that have resulted in the closer losses are correct- able. “We’re not as disciplined as we’d like to be, because we’re not used to playing with each other. We’re very young. We will improve with these games under our belt.” In addition to the intangible matura- tion that needs to occur as the season progresses, the team has also showed a weakness in its man down play. “We're not getting the job done on either side [of man advantages.] We’re not responding,” said Remillard. “We’re not putting the ball into the cage, and we ’re not getting good shots on goal.” W&L has only converted 39% of its man up advantages, their opponents have been successful 43% of the time. One of W&L’s “Freshmen to Watch,” Rich Cober, said the team has to develop better chemistry. “All of us are going to have to come together. We really don't have a domi- nant scorer, so we’re going to have to play better as a team so we can get better scoring chances and improve our defense.” With more experience and a week to iron out the problems that arose over the weekend in Amiapolis, W&L will attempt to level their season series with Richmond at two. The last time these two met, Rich- mond netted three goals in the final three minutes to down W&L at Cy Twombly Pool 14-13. W&L looks for a measure of re- venge in front of the home crowd Fri- day at 7 pm. .4. By JUSTIN MCNAULL Phi Staff Writer Asuccessfulteam cannotbe mea- s ed only by its victories. Accordingly, the women’s soc- ‘cer team’s 2-0 home loss to Gettysburg last Saturday pleased head coach Janine Hathom. “We strung together a good 9U minutes and played better than we ve in a while,” she said. Although the loss stretched their losing streak to seven games, the Generals stayed with Gettysburg for most of the game. “We lost another game, but we lostbetter," said Hathom. “We made them beat us. We made one small nflstake and they took advantage.” After shutting out Gettysburg’s potent attack in the first half, the visitors found the back of the net in . the second. “It came down to a defensive miscue on the first [goal],’’ said Ihthom, “but their second goal was just beautiful‘. “Gettysburg probably didn't real- ize how competitive we can be,” said Hathom. “It helped that they underes- timated us. “Since we ’re in such a rut it all gets magnified and seems longer and greater than normal. We just need to become more consistent. The kids are just bust- ing and I can’t ask them to do much more.” The hard times have forced this team to practice harder than any team Hathom has coached in her six years at W&L. “It’s almost a blessing because they’re working harder and setting a precedent,” she said. “We’ve learned an incredible amount and will see it down the road.” The Generals travel the roads of North Carolina this weekend, playing at Old Dominion Athletic Conference foe Guilford and a powerful Methodist squad. The Generals should beat Guilford and the Methodist game will be ex- tremely challenging, according to Hathom. “Methodist isn’t having a good Photo by Jameson Leonardi, The Ring-tum.Phi Senior Susan Moseley prepares for a colllson with a player from Gettysburg. \'Nomen,’s soccer loses in spite of improvements year,” she said. “They'll be better than us, but we can keep it close.” The team rounds out its season withLynchburgand Messiah, games that W&L should win. “Out of the next four games, we have the possibility to win three,” said Hathom. “I think this will be a good trip for us and we will be on our way to Lynchburg, Messiah, and the [ODAC] tournament.” Hathom looks forward to the tournament quarterfinals on Oct. 28. “We could be overlooked and surprise people. I really like this team and I'll say it until I’m blue in the face.” W 8: L UNIVERSITY LENFEST SERIES PRESENTS -MARTHA GRAHAM II Tickets available NOW! § - S.
