The Graharn-Lee-Washington Literary Society and the Student Activities Board are sponsoring a mock debate, in which student impersonators will represent presidential candidates. Last night, students auditioned to play roles of the major candidates in the presidential race. Hopefuls were given three minutes to impress a panel of faculty and student judges with lcnowledge of their candidates. Junior Andrew Schneider will take center stage Oct. 28 as President Bush. “I hope the debate will educate students,” Schneider said. “Especially those students who didn’t watch the I ebates.” Junior Cottie Miles won the rights to Democratic nomi- nee Bill Clinton, and freshman Tom Fink will portray ‘independent Ross Perot.

According to an annual survey of freshman women, six women in last year's freshman class were raped and six were sexually assaulted. Of the 12, 10 said they were as- saulted by W&L students and two did not say who assaulted them. The survey was conducted by Asso- ciate Dean of Students Anne Schroer- Lamont. Senior Shannon Comer ana- lyzed the results for a sociology class. Seven women who said they were raped or assaulted said the incidents occurred in the freshman dorms. One woman said the incident hap- pened in Gaines, two in fraternity houses and one at a country house. One woman did not say where the incident happened. The 12 women who said they were raped or assaulted at W&L made up 9 percent of the freshman women, down from 11 percent in 1991 and 14 percent in 1990. The survey also found that the per- centage of women who were raped or assaulted before they came to college has gone up, from 7 percent in ’90 to 15 percent in ’92. The survey said only two of the 12 women who said they had been as- saulted or raped said they reported the incident to university officials. . Percentage of students at W&L and statewide agreeing with the following: Ila woman knows she is going to be raped, she ml , ht as well relax and enjoy It. It a woman engages in necking and she lets it get out of hand, it’s her fault it her partner forces sex on her. Results provided by the Dean of Students Office W&L men doubt charges more By GREGORY PATTERSON Phi News Editor W&L men are three times more likely than other Virginia college men to believe that a woman who charges a man with rape is lying. A survey of sexual attitudes given to 5,000 Virginia college students in October, 1991 and to 262 W&L freshmen last spring indi- cates that W&L men place more blame on a woman in a rape situation than college men in the rest of the state In the survey, 18.1 percent of W&L fresh- man men agreed or strongly agreed with the statement, “Most men accused of rape are really innocent.” Statewide, only 5 percent of college men surveyed agreed with the state- ment, less than one-third of the W&L male response. Associate Dean of Students Anne Schroer- Lamont, who conducted the W&L survey, said W&L men seem to be more concerned about being charged with a rape they did not commit. “There is a pretty high fear on this campus of being wrongly accused,” Schroer-Lamont said. Schroer-Lamont said that overall, men have a lot to learn about rape. “Male students seem to have a lesser de- gree of sensitivity to rape,” Schroer-Lamont said. The survey also indicates that women at W&L are more sensitive to rape issues than college women statewide. ‘ Two. percent of women around the state said that most men accused of rape are inno- cent. At W&L, just 0.8 percent of the women surveyed agreed with the statement. Most of the survey questions show W&L men to be less sensitive and W&L women to be more sensitive to rape issues than other Virginia college students. The survey found 44.8 percent of W&L men believed women “cause their own rape by the way they act or the clothes they wear,” while only 35 percent of men statewide agreed with the statement. For women, 15 percent of women agreed statewide, but only 9.1 percent agreed at W&L. In some situations, W&L men were notas willing as other college men to place the blame for rape on the woman. Only 5.2 percent of W&L men said that a woman who goes to a man ’s room implies that she wants to have sex, down from 9 percent for other Virginia college men. W&L men were also less likely to believe that the woman is at fault if she kisses a man and is later raped. W&L men were also less likely to think that a woman who initiates a sexual encounter will have sex with anyone. The survey also found that 54.4 percent of the W&L men surveyed believe there is too much peer pressure on college students to have sex, up from 48 percent statewide.

Shaw back on councfl By LEIGH ALLEN Phi News Editor Washington and Lee Director of Communications Brian Shaw has re- joined the Lexington City Council four months after his four-year term on the council expired. 0 The council appointed Shaw last Thursday to replace A.C. “Sonny" Jordan, who retired last month. Shaw said someone from W&L tra- ditionally sits on the council. When Shaw decided not to rim for re-election last May, W&L Director of Develop- ment Lex McMillan ran for a seat but was defeated. Shaw, who was not at the Oct. 15 meeting, said Lexington Mayor H.E. ‘ ‘Buddy’ ’ Derrick approached him af- ter Jordan’s retirement and asked him if he would be interested in rejoining e council. Shaw said last week that he did not campaign for the position, but said he would accept the seat. “I would welcome the chance to serve the people of Lexington again,” Shaw said. Joan Dunbar, who owns a local real Estate and construction firm, said she applied for the vacant seat through the CityManager’s offrcethreeweeks ago. Dunbar said she wrote letters to the council members explaining why she believed herself qualified. There was no public discussion on haw’s appointment at the meeting, ‘ and Dunbar was not mentioned. Councilman Greg Raetz said before the meeting last week that Shaw was the top choice to replace Jordan be- cause of his experience on the council. ‘ ‘There’s no substitute for someone Who has council experience,” Raetz said. “My personal view is that Shaw will be an excellent addition to the council.” Shaw will serve the remainder of Jordan’s term, which expires in June 1994. 0 «mam Photo by Mallory Meyers, The Fling-tum Phi . . .

Facult discusses future ofW& honors program By GREGORY PATTERSON Phi News Editor The University Scholars program faces an uncertain future after a motion was made at the last faculty meeting to eliminate the program. The faculty tabled the motion and will take the issue up at its Nov. 3 meeting, but the move has left current scholars confused as to why the program might be killed. University Scholars Director John Evans said a faculty committee began reviewing the pro- gram last spring to determine if the program was still serving a useful purpose. “It is a reasonable thing to review a program to determine if it is wonh keeping,”Evans said. “No trumpets sounded, it was just an intelligent administrative decision." According to the Catalog, the Scholars pro- gram provides “extra challenge and opportunity for our best prepared, most able students.” Stu- dents admitted to the program must take a read- ing course, three honors seminars and must write an honors thesis. Scholars may also design inde- pendent seminars and take one-on-one tutorials with professors. Evans said the program was designed in W&L’s last days before coeducation when the quality of students was at a low point. “The very bright students had trouble frndin g one another and this program helped them do that,” Evans said. Evans said the conditions which made the program a necessity then are not true any more because the quality of students is much better now than it was in the early 1980s. “The original cause no longer holds,” Evans said. “The question is, do you continue a pro- gram when the conditions that brought it into being are not there anymore?” Evans said the program is taxing on faculty members who agree to teach a course for the Scholars. “Not only are they teaching a course in addi- tion to their normal duties,” Evans said, “but they must prepare a very intensive course that they will never repeat.” Some scholars said the program may need to be revamped, but not eliminated. Scholar Scott Howe, ’93, believes the mission of the program has evolved. “It’s not the best and the brightest anymore,” Howe said. “Now, it’s the most motivated.” Howe acknowledged that the scholars have not had areading seminar or a speaker for awhile, two of their traditional activities. Scholar Jim Prather, ’93, said the program can be salvaged. “Whatever is wrong, it’s nothing so severe Cl See SCHOLARS, page 4 EC denies ACLU funding, calls group ideologically partisan By LEIGH ALLEN Phi News Editor The Executive Committee denied the Ameri- can Civil Liberties Union funding Monday, say- ing the group is ideologically partisan, despite a petition signed by about 250 students in favor of funding the group. ' The EC voted unanimously not to give the ACLU $1250 that the group had requested. EC representatives Robert Stewart and James Rambeau abstained, and Carol Pierce, Jay Stearne and Kevin Webb were not at the meeting. ACLU President Andrew Schneider said the ACLU is not partisan because it does not support political candidates. He said the ACLU’s goal is to fight for the Bill of Rights and teach and defend civil rights principles. EC Secretary Bob Tompkins said an organiza- tion does not have to support political candidates to be partisan. “There are different interpretations of the Bill of Rights and what it means,” Tompkins said. “The ACLU supports a particular ideological stance on that.” Schneider said about 95 percent of the people he confronted signed the petition in support of ACLU funding, even if they did not agree with the organization as a whole. The EC examined the petition, but some mem- bers questioned its validity. “I would like to know how many of those 250 people knew what they were signing," senior EC Rep. Susan Mosely said. Sophomore EC Rep. Robert Stewart said some EC members took the petition too lightly. He also questioned how representative of the student body the petition is. EC President Josh MacFarland read a state- ment by Spectator Editor Cameron I-lumphries dur- ing the meeting. Humphries stated hisopin- ion that the ACLU should not be funded. “We heard [Schneider’s] side and 1 had gotten some opinions contrary to that,” McFarland said. “I thought it would behoove the committee to hear the other side.” Schneider said the statement was filled with misconceptions about the ACLU. “The [statement] was half erroneous,” MacFarland Schneider said. “The thing that struck me most was that Josh had planned to do research on the ACLU and a week later it consisted of only a [statement] by the editor of the Spectator.” Stewart said he thought Hurnphries statement was unnecessary. “It wasn’t supposed to be a forum,” Stewart said. “It was supposed to be us discussing with [Schneider] whether or not we were going to fund the ACLU.” Stewart said the EC scrutinized the ACLU more closely titan most groups making requests. “Because of the national reputation of the ACLU it got that kind of scrutiny,” Stewart said. Most EC members said they were concerned with the national reputation and ideologically partisan stance of the ACLU and not the activi- ties Schneider proposed in his budget for the campus chapter.

During the past week, we have received many questions about the reasoning behind this change, and we think it is only fair to explain. In the past, the Phi has received a bulk “donation” from the Executive Committee, which meant that student activities fees paid for both student and faculty papers. The Phi was treated as just another student organization, potentially at the mercy of the student government. In theory, any EC, present or future, could have closed the Phi’s account and shut down the paper for controversial articles. If the Phi is to function truly as a “real newspaper,” such an arrangement could not continue. This year, the Phi proposed a change in its relationship with the EC. The EC purchased a subscription on behalf of the student body for a semester, with the option of renewing or canceling the subscription at the beginning of winter term. The agreement was closer to the “real worl ” relationship of news- paper to subscribers, freeing the paper from potential pressure and relieving the EC from liability for the Phi’s actions. During the negotiations, the EC and the Phi recognized that students should not spend their activities fees for faculty and staff newspapers. This would be comparable to the subscribers of The Washington Post paying extra for their papers so the Post could send free subscriptions to one group of readers, say professors. If the faculty and staff wish to receive a product, then they should pay just like anybody else. The EC and the Phi agreed that a block faculty subscription, similar to the one sold to the student body, would be a fair solution. The Phi then notified university administrators to explain the new arrangement and to offer them a bulk subscription for faculty and staff at the same rate paid by students. The admin- istration proved reluctant to reach an agreement, saying they could not understand the Phi’s reasoning and asking for more time to consider the proposal. As of now, they are still resisting what they condemn as a “break from tradition.” Until the administrators make a final decision about the subscription or another system of payment is arranged, the Phi will allow individual faculty members to purchase their copies outside the Generals Headquarters or in the Co-op. We look forward to a prompt resolution of our discussions with the administration. ’ I _.._..»_,.- ....,v..,..t_.,.» .. Parents!

Lucky him. Someone once said Times Square is beau- tiful if you can't read. GEORGE WILL Washington Post Writers Group New York today is tol- erable if you can't un- derstand political commercials like the one snarling from the cab radio, revil- ing “mudslide Bob Abrams” as a thrower of “manure." The Democratic nominee for sena- tor is Robert Abrams, the state’s attor= = ney general, who recently madenewsi by skipping Manhattan’s Columbus Day parade and calling his opponent, two-term incumbent AlfonseD’Arnato, a “fascist.” Abrams is a liberal in good standing (wants to cut defense spend- ing 50 percent; favors gay rights as a litmus test for judicial norriinees) but did not duck the parade for the correct liberal reason (that Columbus was a fascist who inflicted Eurocentri sin and syphilis on the indigenous peoples of the North American paradise). Rather, Abrams, who needs cash, had to go prospecting for some of it upstate (where he paraded for Colum- bus in Binghamton). Anyway, most of this state’s Italian Americans—-1 5 per- cent of the voters—are Republicans. Besides, Abrams has an Italian prob- lem. Remember Geraldine Ferraro and the rumors of mob associations that muddled the Mondale-Ferraro ticket in 1984? Last month Abrams won a four- wayprirnary,beatingFerraro by 11,254 votes out of 1.5 million votes cast. lriitially Ferraro had a 30-point lead. Then another rival, Elizabeth Holtzman, this city's comptroller, mob-cormected pomographer for three years after she promised to have him evicted.

He called Abrams a savage and a “sissy.” A savage sissy? Go fig- ure. Abrams was born in the Bronx on the Fourth of July —— a good career move — in 1938 and has been a politi- cal careerist since age 27. Heis running as an outsider, of course, as is D’Amato, who is seeking to win years 13 through 18 in the Senate. No slouch as a name-caller, D’Amato answers the “fascist” charge by calling Abrams something worse-— an “incumbent." Abrams calls D’Amato “a desperate rat.” D'Amato calls Abrams a “sleaze bag." New York, once upon a time the nation's cultural capital, has the most intellectual senator, Pat Moynihan, and the least, D’Amato, who is known as the Senate's Bart Simpson — crude and proud of it.

Kennedy was hand- some and confident on TV. Richard Nixon was ill- looking and nervous. The 1960 election went to Kennedy. That's the way it goes in a close election. A Vice economy grew at 3 percent a year and created 10 million new jobs. Under George Bush, the annual growth rate has been halfthat of Carter's. The result: There are fewer pri- vate-sector jobs now than the afternoon President makes a bad ap- pearance on TV one evening and has to wait eight years for the top job. A President CHRISTOPHER MATTHEWS Tribune Media Services Bush was inaugurated. Translated to kitchen-table econom- ics: Parents who sent goes to bed after saying something stupid about Eastern Europe. Gerald Ford wakes up the next morning a Palm Springs retiree. But 1992 is different. It’s an election year when nothing the candidates do or say counts for much. Just ask yourself: Is there some thought George Bush could impart before Nov. 3 thatmighttum your vote? Is there something about Bill Clinton's personal life that would lure or deflect your loyalties? Probably not. The entire year has been like this. An attractive woman calls a New York press conference to say she's had a 12-year tryst with the Arkansas front- ninner. The country enjoys the soap opera, then turns the channel. The polls do their windsong, then return to normal, just as they do when the Clinton “draft" story makes its periodic zip across the newswires. I So what is this election about? Why is Bill Clinton as incapable of losing our support as George Bush seems in winning it? Whydo 80million people watch the TV debates, yet come away stuck in the same positions they started with? Why is an electorate known for having second thoughts in the weeks before balloting proving itself so stubbom? Here are five reasons, in order of importance: 1. The Economy. Under J immy Carter, the kids to college find them homeagain, with- out jobs, much less ca- reers. Both spouses work but find themselves living no better than before. A successful business is no longer one that makes a “killing”; it's one that survives being killed itself. 2. The Cold campaign backing the Democratic presidential can- didate because of homefront concerns like education, health, workplace policy, and, in many cases, abor tion. By Election Day, that “gender gap” has closed? This year, both genders are being driven by do- mestic issues: job security, health insurance, guaran- teed home medical leave. Thanks to the gong show the Senate Judiciary Committee made of the Clarence ' Thomas-Anita Hill hearings, both genders are sup- porting women for high office. . If the “gender gap” disappears in 1992, it will be because men have decided to vote with their wives - not the other way around. 4. Anti-incumbency. This cuts much deeper than the House bank scandal or the call for term limits. Resentment of political big shots has been bubbling for years. And there is no more high-profile incum- bency than the’ man living all War.Eversince the '40s, we Ameri- cans have picked one kind of Presi- dent — some guy who was in uni- This year, both genders are being driven by domestic issues: job security, health insur- 5- ance, guaranteed home medical leave.

Graffiti reflects positions on lllsues (“Coed Sucks” - duPont first ifloor), and affirms roles in society (“I am the Snapper” - Robinson first floor). lnmy extensive search throughoutcam- pus for cool graffiti, I have even come across graffiti with deep philosophical implications (“Marshall Boswell is ?ahweh- pray to him, 0 English ma- jors” - Payne second floor). What prompts a man to become so overly philosophical while engaging in the commonplace activity of dispos- ing of bodily wastes? Is it a deep- seated need to express oneself or a siriple lack of something better to do while taking a dump? The motivations behind these washroom pieces of art are many.

Methinks that professors from the poli- tics department got tired of seeing their names on the walls in bad context, so they sent 10 zillion little memos and Post-It notes to President Wilson ask- ing foran anti-graffiti subcommittee to ‘ be established. Again, you heard it here first. I wish I knew whether graffiti is as prevalent in women’s bathrooms as in men's rooms. However, nothing could drag Spos into a women’s room short of a John Deere tractor. The reason for this iswhatever lurks in a women’s room requires that women go there in packs of two or more to face it. (“Ex- cuse me, Betty. Could you go to the restroom with me?”) I don’t care to guess as to what is in there, but it probably would send Godzilla running for his life. What are Spos’ personal favorites you ask? Well, my favorite on-campus specimen appears in the bathroom on the first floor of Parmly Hall. It simply reads “Delt Lives.” My favorite non- campus graffiti appears on the bottom of a bathroom stall in a truck stop somewhere inNew Jersey. Right above the space between the stall and the floor, where you can see the feet of the guy squatting next to you, someone etched the words “Beware of Gay Limbo Dancers.” Spos laughed so hard, he nearly rocked himself off of the can. If the toilet-paper holder not been in a convenient spot so as to serve as a handle, Spos rriight have fallen off and created an embarrasing situation. Such is the power of the written word. ' Humor coIumnist’s superhero offends readers To the Editor: I am an avid reader of your newspa- per. One of the aspects I admire most about your paper is the Phi’s boldness. Iifiseems as though you're not afraid to say anything. I love the “Talkback” section, for instance. However, this past issue, I believe, you really went vice. Next time you decide to write a creative writing piece, stay away from manes like “Richard Head, Ben Dover, Phil McCrevice, and A. Nel Sphinc- ter.” And write about something that everyone can appreciate. Do you really think the females on this campus en- joyed that article? too far.

As a male, I know how guys talk I around other guys, and I have no prob- lem with it. However, material like this has no business being in a university newspa- per. It really brings down the character of the publication. Personally, I would bc ashamed to show this newspaper to my parents, who brought me up in the atmosphere of astrong Christian house- hold. I think they would be appalled. I was disgusted myself. I mean, who wants to read about an eight-foot penis ejaculating all over a criminal? That's rgtlly disgusting! Sure, we all have our sexual fantasies, but come on! An eight- foot penis? Get real, Chris, it’s just not going to happen! Not only was the article gross; it was also completely pointless and bor- ing. If you get your jollies writing a utmasturbatinginapublicrestroom with the latest porn issue, then please keep your thoughts to yourself. I don't want to hear about it. The article just simply lacked real humor and creativ- ity. Let me give the author some ad- I I =s;.*ti:iifttitrti:.‘::'.i?.$.i.t‘i§‘:f.a:t.'E thathe should apply for a job at Pent- house magazine. And be honest, Chris. Did you really go over the material of the “Erection Man” article with your family at the dinner table? I think not. In any case, I hope not to discover any more articles of this type bastardizing our fine W&L publication. Thanks. Most Sincerely, Craig Sears, ‘96 To tlieEditor: The article in last week's Ring—tum Phi, “Erection Man Battles Diabolical Villains,” was the inevitable result of pen and paper combined with an infan- tile sense of humor. _ Though I am unsure of the purpose behind this “opinion,” I assume that the author's oiigirial intent was to amuse. Neither the concept nor the finished product contained amodicum Interviews and Photos A By Jameson Leonardi What are your plans for Parents Weekend? of humor, and served only to insult the intelligence of the entire W&L student body. I also question the judgment of the editors who chose to publish this ar- ticle. The staff claims that the paper “observes current court definitions of_..,obscenity,?f If this article is any indication, 11.19 °,b$¢TVat.ion.is=cirrsory- aI-h¢§t—- ln R<>.ih.it.l!ni¢edSta1a: .354. U.Se 476 ((1957-) the "Supreme Court‘ found material to be obscene when, “applying contemporary community standards, the dominant theme of the material taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest.” The Supreme Court laterexpounded on this test in Jacobellir vs. Ohio , 378 U.S. 184 (1964). “A work cannot be proscribed imless it is ‘utterly without redeeming social importance,’ and hence material that deals with sex in a manner that advocates ideas, or that has literary or scientific or artistic value or any other form of social importance, may not be held obscene and denied constitutional protection.” I fail to see any social importance which this article may contain.

WORTH By Dr. James Worth W&L can be a very intense place. Do you have any suggestions or ideas about stress management? Stress management strategies tend to fall in three separate categories: making the stress less intense, making yourself stron- ger, or getting the hell away from the stres- sors. The first two, which can be done together, emphasize staying engaged with the stressors, but the third an excellent social life, and still has time for involve- ment with extra-curricular activities, you will invari- ably find an expert time manager. Talk to him about how he manages his time. Another thing I do in my own life which I advocate to students is making the effort to write down a plan for your week which includes specific times and activities. You can purchase weekly organizers at a book store or you can come to Mrs. Calkins’ office in the Univer- sity Center and she will give you one of my handy- dandy time-management sheets. It really does help. Meditation, self -reflection and even prayer (for those who pray) are ways to ground ourselves and face our day from a centered, focused frame of mind. Reducing the stress at its source is the sec- one takes you away from them. There are many ways of making yourself stron- ger, physically and emo- tionally. Don’t ever underesti- mate the importance of physical conditioning in helping you cope with psychological stress. When Bobbie Fisher Questions to Dr. Worth can be submitted to Carol Calkins in the University Center. ond major approach. If the stress comes from poor communica- tion, a lack of assertiveness,orfeelings which do not get ad- equately expressed, you can develop better inter- personal coping skills. This can be accom- plished by reading, talk- ing with others you trust 5:). L was the world chess champion he always in- cluded strenuous exercise as part of his preparation for a big chess match. Eating three wholesome meals per day, getting enough sleep (based on your own requirements, which vary from one individual to another), and getting regu- lar aerobic exercise will enable you to see better times and do better things. I personally advocate jogging and usually run five miles in the early morning. It has changed my life. But the main thing is that you have a routine (preferably five times per week) in which you get your heart rate above 130 for at least 20 minutes. When you get those endorphins coursing through your body it pro- duces a subtle but lovely high that is all the more delicious because you know it is natural and healthy. Another important way to make your- self more affective and thus better able to cope with stress is through good time-management practices. Whenever you meet a student who has good grades, and learning from them or a counselor. Roommate problems, romance pains, family strains, and all the other interpersonal stressors are made worse by either holding your feelings in, exploding with anger or doingthose little cutting things whic “get even” with someone without really finding a solution. Even academic stress can be reduced by talking with the professor, who might have some tips for you to increase your effec- tiveness or, in some circumstances, might be willing to negotiate a stick- ing point with you. When these two approaches fail it is sometimes best to leave the field. That might mean ending a rela- tionship, withdrawing from an ac- tivity, dropping a course, or in an extreme case even temporarily with- drawing from school. I am not saying you should duck your responsibilities. However, if you are being overwhelmed by unrelenting stress, sometimes a retreat is the most re- sponsible action available to you.

MEAT I :__________J PAGE 9 edges Lynchburg By J Usi1N IVICNAULL Phi Staff Writer Two overtime victories halted the women's soccer team’s seven-game losing streak and secured a fourth seed in next week's conference tournament. Wednesday's 2-0 overtime victory at Lynchburg College wrapped up a 4- 4 record in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference and fourth place in the standings. Before the game, head coach I an Hathom spoke of the importance of a victory. “We need to win so that our destiny is not in someone else’s hand," she said. A loss could have dropped the Gen- erals to the fifth or sixth seed, depend- ing upon this Saturday's Sweet Briar- Lynchburg game. A Sweet Briar win could have sent the Generals to Vir- ginia Beach to take on a strong Vir- ginia Wesleyan squad in the opening round of the ODAC Tournament on Wednesday. Butapair of goals mid-way through the first overtime earned Washington and Lee the fourth spot. Nearly nine minutes into the 15- minute period, junior tri-captain Angie Carrington blasted the game-winner off a feed from senior tri-captain Su- san Moseley. Carrington shouted glee- ful approval after the 15-yard shot sailed over the Homets' goalie. Less than two minutes later, sopho- more Jenny Lynch took a long lead pass from junior Aspen Yawars and beat the keeper one-on-one. Junior tri-captain Kate Stimeling notched her first shutout of the year as she and the defense thwarted Lynchburg’s attack for 120 minutes. Juniors Allison Lewis, Kathleen Eastland, and Yawars, along with sophomore Marina Jackson, denied Lynchburg easy shots and beat them to loose balls. The strong week began Saturday with a 2-1 overtime victory at Guilford College (NC). The win was the Gener- als first in a month and raised their ODAC record to 3-4. W&L outplayed Guilford, but trailed 1-0 after a first half goal by Moseley. The senior beat her defender and evened the score with 3:33 remain- ing in the game, sending the game into two l5-minute overtime periods. Freshman Jennifer Robison headed in a Moseley comer kick for the game- winning goal in the first overtime. The goal was Robison's third of the season. The defense held Guilford to three shots in overtime and 10 for the game. The defense came out strong against a better Methodist squad on Sunday, the second game in the North Carolina road swing. Stimeling saved nine shots in the first half. before giving up two second- half goals. The offense had several good opportunities, but failed to score, as the Generals fell 2-0. W&L enters Saturday's Parents Weekend game with Messiah with a 4- 9 record and their tournament berth locked up. Hathom feels strongly about the team's chances to upset Messiah. “We really play well when parents are here,” she said, “and we could upset them[Messiah]." The team is much more confident now than a week ago and it shows in their play. “It came down to scoring a goal and winning a game to break the [scoring] drought," said Hathom. The Generals‘ open the tournament athome against the winner of the Sweet Briar-Lynchburg contest. If it's Sweet Briar. W&L will be looking to avenge a 1-0 loss a couple of weeks ago. By KEITH GRANT Phi Staff Writer It was bedtime for Bridgewater after the sun set on Brewbaker Field Wednesday night as the Washing- ton and Lee men’s soccer team pounded the Eagles, 9-0. The Bridgewater College soccer team is the first the school has fielded since 1942. Thus, the Generals made the in- fants of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference look as if they belonged at Brewbaker playing for the adja- cent Maury River Middle School. The contest was the first night game ever for the W&L men’s soc- cer, and the Generals lit up the . .scoreboard foras manygoals as they had scored in their previous nine games combined. Brewbaker’s lights went on shortly after game time. W&L expe- rienced an immediate power surge, scoring four times in a 13 minute span. Freshman Bill Garcia started off Men make history with first night game at home the Nightmare on Waddell Street with a breakaway goal ten minutes into the game. It was Garcia’s second this year. Three minutes later, senior Mike Mitchem used his head for his first of three goals off an assist by freshman Chad Dobbins. Mitchem, a tri-captain who is two assists shy of the W&L career mark of 22, added his second goal less than one minute after the first, drilling home a ten-yarder after a scramble in front of the Eagles’ net. Though Mitchem went assist-less, his three goals were the eighth, ninth, and tenth of his distinguished W&L career. - Freshman Nick Tatar scored once inthefirsthalf and classmate Bo Manuel -nailed scores to-give Generals’ freshmen four goals for the game. Junior Dan Rhodes also scored two in the second half to round out the slaughter. Senior Reid Murphy, the Generals’ leading scorer with three goals coming into the game, assisted on three of the first half goals, giving the tri-captain -«ingten for their regular season fi- six assists this year. W&L (5-7. 3-4 ODAC) could have made it much worse. The Gen- erals outshot Bridgewater 23-3. The shutout was the fifth of the season for W&L. Unfortimately, they had stniggled to find their scor- ing touch before Wednesday. A 4-0 shutout of the Generals by Virginia Wesleyan last Saturday left them scorelessintwostraightgames. Overall, the Generals had been I outscored by their opponents 20-14 before meeting Bridgewater (1-10, 0-7 ODAC). The Eagles have scored just seven goals all season, but 15 of their 21 players are freshmen and sophomores. The Generals will remain in Lex- nale on Saturday. W&L will take on Lynchburg College aspartof the Parents Week- end sports schedule. Next week, the Generals willtrytopreventthelights from going out on their season as play begins in the ODAC Tourna- merit.

Well, Josephine Schaeffer is a perfect candidate to start a new se- ries of those commercials. She's quickly becoming a na- tionallyknown figureincross coun- try, but her feats are just now being fully realized. ' Schaeffer led the women’s team to their first ever State Division IU 111 Championships this past week- end, while winning her fifth con- secutive race. - Schaeffer’s success is a pleasant surprise for head coach Jim Phemister, but it’s even more sur- prising to her. “I am very surprised,” Schaeffer said in a very modest tone. “I didn’t know what to expect in college races. But the team keeps pushing me, and Coach Phernister is a great help.” Schaeffer finished first in the Schaeffer runs away with mark meet, setting a course and school record with a time of 17:54.
