Wilson explains W&L’s mission statement Wednesday night. Wilson sees slow growth priority on the university’s agenda, but the sports facilities and fields also need minor improvements. Wilson said the university’s mission statement is in- tended to help W&L “find itself in the huge, sprawling, untidy system of higher education in the United States.” Wilson said he does not believe minority or women's studies departments have a place at W&L. “Our attempt to develop and study those areas within our main-1 ine fields is far preferable to having individual depart- ments,” Wilson said. One questioner asked Wilson whether the fraternity system would ever be returned to complete student control. “We had a period of 25 years where there was very little responsibility to thepphysical structures [in the fraternity’ houses] ,” Wilson said. "If the real question is whether or not we will go back to the old days when you could tear the heck out of the house—no.” By GREGORY PATTERSON Phi News Editor University President John D. Wilson told a crowd of 35 Wednesday night that, after a decade of revolutionary changes, he forsees only “evolutionary development” in W&L’s future. In a Graham—Lee-Washington Society discussion about the university’s mission statement, Wilson said that after coeducation, the creation of two new science majors and the construction of Gaines Hall and the Lenfest Center for the Performing Arts, only small improvements in the university are left to make. “I see a period of slow, deepening, evolutionary devel- opment,”.Wilson said.

They could be breaking the law. Washington and Lee University A senior John Godfrey said he saw a city police officer in a university parking lot, recording license plate numbers. Godfrey said when he attempted to drive out of the parking lot the police officer blocked his exit with the police car, until he could write down the li- cense plate number. Godfrey said at the time he didn’t believe the officer had done anything wrong, but when he spoke to friends he began to wonder about the policeman’s actions. W&L Director of Security Mike Young said the university allows po- lice on university property anytime. “We depend on the Police Depart- ment to help us out, so we let them on our property,” he said. W&L Professor of Law Scott . Sundby said the policeman was within the limits of the law when he was in the W&L parking lot. “It’s not illegal for him to write down the [license plate] numbers,” Sundby said. “That’s why they make [license plates].” Sundby said the policeman acted incorrectly when he blocked Godfrey’s exit from the parking lot. “That is essentially a seizure,” Sundby said. “You have to have some suspicion to make a seizure. It's a tech- nical violation of the Fourth Amend- merit.” Although policemen are allowed on university property, Sundby said, they are not allowed on private property without an invitation or a warrant. “You’d hear a hue and cry if homeowners found police officers in their driveways,” Sundby said. Lexington police Chief B.M. Beard refused to comment on the situation, saying he would need more details and proof that it actually happened. University President John D. Wil- son said he could not comment on the officer’s actions because he did not know the officer’s intentions. Wilson acknowledged police can getstudent license plates numbers while on campus, but said he would not help the police in their search. “I’m not going to turn over our ‘ registration list to the commissioners office,” Wilson said. Lexington Commissioner of Rev- enue Courtney Baker said she gives police a list of places to look. “We’re not doing anything in the dark here,” Baker said. “We have al- ways used every resource possible to make the assessments. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people to pay a tax on a car if they have it here most of the year.” By GREGORY PATTERSON to kill the program, many current scholars partments to see if they serve the same pur- Phi News Editor The University Scholars program will con- tinue to operate and accept new members while a committee decides its fate. ‘At a Nov. 2 meeting, the faculty did not vote on a motion introduced last month to eliminate the program. Instead, a committee A of faculty and students was formed to study the program and recommend in the spring . whether it should be continued. “The committee will study all the possible i midifications of the program,” Scholars advi- . sor John Evans said. At the October faculty meeting, the Courses and Degrees Committee recommended elimi- ' nating the program because it was not fulfill- ing its original purpose. In its evaluation, the committee surveyed professors and graduates ofihe program, but not current students. According to the W&L Catalog, the hon- ors program provides “extra challenge and opportunity” for qualified students, who take discussion seminars and must write an honors thesis. Students who complete the program graduate with the notation “with honors” on tlpir transcript. After hearing about the recommendation voiced their opposition. Dean of the College John Elrod said the protests weighed heavily in the decision to table the recommendation. “It caused the committee to think twice,” Elrod said. Elrod said the new committee, which in- cludes six professors and three students, will first have to think about the nature of honors work. _“Before they think about the University Schol- ars specifically, they should think from the ground up about what honors work should be at the collegiate level,” Elrod said. Then, Elrod said, the commit- tee will have to compile data about the University Scholars’ history, such as the number of people who have completed the program and what grades they have received. Elrod said the committee will also exam- ine honors programs within individual de- Jackson .

Meanwhile, Evans said, students will con- tinue to be admitted to the program. “The program will continue in its present form,” Evans said. If the new committee does decide to eliminate University Scholars,Evans said, the program will be phased out, rather than abruptly stopped, so all members will be able to graduate from the program. Evans said applications are being accepted from next year’s freshman class, but current freshmen and sophomores may also apply before Thanksgiving. Students are usually admitted to the Uni- versity Scholars program before entering fresh- man year, though freshmen and sophomores are admitted to the program during the year. Elrod said the committee will report its findings in the spring to the Courses and Degrees Committee, which will make a rec- ommendation to the full faculty. Scholar Matt Jackson said he was relieved about the decision and said he hopes the result of the study will be a new and improved program. “I think we showed a willingness, not just to preserve the program, but to work with professors to mold it and make it better,” Jackson said. .973 2.829 By J .D.

Virginia Supreme Court Chief Justice Harry Carrico, North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice James Exum and Florida Supreme Court Justice Leander Shaw. will preside over the final rounds of the competition, which pits law students against one another in the fictional case of Holy Fundamentalist Church v. City of Danburg. The finals will be Nov. 19 at 4 p.m. in the Lenfest Center. The competition is named for John W. Davis, aW&L law professor in the 1950s. Davis is best known today for representing the school board in Brown v. Board of Educa- tion, the landmark Supreme Court desegregation case. Forty-eight second- and third—year law students partici- pated in this year’s competition, which began Sept. 3. with a round of arguments before student judges. This year’s problem involves a decision by the fictional City of Danburg to allow a Jewish Community Center to display a menorah on city property during Hanukkah. The Holy Fundamentalist Church sued to stop the city from allowing the display. The church argues that by allow- ing the display the city was endorsing the Jewish religion. The city contends refusal to allow the display would violate the Jewish Community Center’s freedom of speech. If you go to Thursday’s final rounds in the , John W. Davis Moot Court Competition expect- ing a coherent and thought-provoking debate, you are likely to be sadly disappointed. The point of Moot Court competition is to give . competitors the opportunity to learn how to argue an appellate case, which is by no means an orderly process. Appellate advocates must be able to think on their feet and answer, with speed and precision, questions posed by the judges relating to the subject matter of their arguments, usually in mid—sentence. The questions and the arguments are highly specific. For the spectator, this boils down to one statement of cruel truth: If you haven't done the research yourself, you probably aren’t going to understand much of what’s going on. This warning is not meant to discourage any- one from attending the Davis finals. For those contemplating acareer at the bar, observation of the finalists as they nimbly field obtuse questions about minute points of law will provide a wonh— while glimpse at the actual processes underlying Many law students believe Doug Kilday got a serious edge in last year’s competition when the bells in Lee Chapel started ringing during his argument . He remained calm, didn’t lose his train of thought and he won. (Unfortunately, this year’s competition is being held in the Lenfest Center, so no one will be ableto repeat this coup de grace.) If you’re interested in constitutional law and want to try to follow the arguments, here are some keycases and phrases to listen for: The three-pronged Lemon test. No, it isn’t a weird method of telling fortunes with fruit or anything like that. Law students love multi- pronged tests of applicability, and this year's Moot Court problem offers a doozy. The case of Lemon v. Kurtzman offers a mechanism for courts to deal with an Establishment Clause challenge.

On the agenda was the traditional Executive Committee report on the Honor System, which always draws the attention of the board. But this time the report received more attention than usual. We would like to have reported in the news pages exactly what happened. The problem is, we don’t know. And neither, it seems, does anyone else. Versions of that weekend vary from person to person, and all the more from day to day. Included in EC President Josh MacFarland’s report to the . Board of Trustees was an account of last year’s only open hearing, in which a student was dismissed. It just so happens that the dismissed student has a relative in the university's alumni administration. We do not know if there is a connec- tion, but members of the Board of Trustees apparently received a number of letters questioning the outcome of the case. (The dismissed student said last week she has no knowledge of this subject relative to the Board of Trustees.) According to several students, many alumni in the dismissed student’s home state were also contacted and asked to participate in an effort to have her conviction reversed and to have her reinstated at the university. Here’s where it gets sketchy. One source told us that in Atlanta the board actually discussed finding a way to return the dismissed student to the W&L classroom. The debate may have gotten as far as a vote. MacFarland appropriately objected, and the motion was rejected. On the other extreme, a second version of the story says that the board dutifully passed along the letters questioning the case’s handling to MacFarland and the EC. The board said it would never presume to affect the Honor System, giving the student government the option of ignoring the letters, considering them, acting on them or whatever. And there is a third story, which says adminstrators, and possibly the Board of Trustees, discussed allowing the dismissed student back at W&L to audit courses unofficially. Whether any board or EC action would have been necessary for this option is unclear. (You might be interested to know that the first two scenarios came from the same person in one 24-hour period.) It could be the death knell for the student-autonomous Honor System if the Board of Trustees or university administration were to take any action running contrary to the letter or spirit of the White Book. The Executive Committee and the Honor System are the only branches of student government in which the university faculty and administration have not meddled, be the meddling for better or worse. According to at least one version of the story, MacFarland recognized this and prevented any further incursion into the students’ self-govemment. If this was the case, we appreciate MacFarland’s actions. . But we would like to suggest that the very fact that the board, the administration or alumni may have considered altering or circum- venting the Honor System is a threat to that system. The report of the EC ( president to the board on the Honor System_ should not provoke disc't_is- ‘ sion of any specific case unless thereis evider'ice’of some extraordinary I miscarriage of justice. Even then, any decision regarding the fate of the Honor System or any honor matter previously handled by student representatives should be made with due discussion in an open forum where student voices carry equal weight. The future of the Honor System should never be discussed behind doors closed to all students. Likewise, once a case goes to open _ hearing, it should never be re-adjudicated in a less-tlian-open hearing room. The Board of Trustees and the university administration must remember that the Honor System was created as a student check on student behavior. It has become apparent to us that many university officials, in Lexington and elsewhere, do not feel bound by our ideal of honesty. It seems hypocritical that those same officials should presume to alter a tradition they neither comprehend nor practice.

Clinton needs to read lips CHRISTOPHER MATTHEWS Tribune Media Services Little Rock, Ark.—In the earlymoming hours after victory here, Bill Clinton arrived tortur- ously late to a rally of campaign workers. With confetti clinging to his coat, the President-elect came to seal a covenant: he would not become, he swore, yet another prisoner of the White House. He would retain the umbilical cord between himself and the people who had nurtured and protected his candidacy. This post-midnight oath at the Little Rock convention center is the most worthy promise of the 1992 campaign. Rather than command we read his lips, the new leader committed himself to it read ours. ~ But who will make sure that he does? Plenty of Washington, D.C. barbers stand ready to cut Bill Clinton’s thick hair. Who stands ready to keep the new President’ s head itself from getting too inflated and out of control; too in love with the notion of a second Camelot? Who will whisper to him beneath the lilting strains of “Hail to the Chief” that the music and the big-picture summitry and the White House itself are incidental to the job of rescuing the Ameri- can dream? The likely suspects are those same, feet-on-the- ground folk who helped right.’ ‘He ran an outstand- ing campaign,’ Dan Quayle said of the Democratic President- elect. ‘If he runs the country as well as the campaign, we’ll be all Wise words. Stan Greenberg. Two hours later, Clinton and Al Gore appeared outside the govemor’s mansion wearing the dark blue suits of office. The impres- sion was unmistakable. The grubby business of politics and elections was being left to the grunts; the fine business of government was being taken up by less soiled hands. We've seen something like this before. Four years ago, after winning a brass knuckle bout with Michael Dukakis, the winner declared the carn- paigri “history” and moved briskly to a more pleasant topic, George Bush’s own long-awaited succession to the office Ronald Reagan had been keeping from him the last eight years. The seeds of Bush’s political destruction were - , planted that very day. Having won the presidency with the help of Peggy Noonan‘, the eloquent I speechwriter who’d grown up in the Sears Roe‘- buck suburbs of New Jersey, and Lee Atwater, who had made his name running South Carolina campaigns against people named Tumipseed, he turned to others when he took office. Bush shifted power to people like Nicholas Brady, his new treasury secretary; Richard Darman, his new budget director; people with neither feel nor fondness for Americans who, unfamiliar with the grand fiscal matters of state, are nonetheless all too familiar with less celes- tial realities, like telling a teen-ager there’s not enough money for that college he’s been dreaming about. Clinton get there, that youngish team who kept the election ’s central issue theirown irreverent motto: “The economy, stupid!” The danger lurks that these roughnecks of the campaign trail will be bumped aside by those more groomed to the ways of official Washing- ton, just as a group of Clinton-Gore aides went to their favorite Little Rock eatery one night last week to find their favorite room reserved for the newly-arrived crowd of “FOBS” or “Friends of Bill.” Suddenly those who worked to put Clinton in the White House were sensing the chilling presence of those who’d met the candidate at Oxford or Yale law, those with the credentials to serve in national office yet incapable of an exis- tential leap like those who joined the trail back when victory seemed uncertain, if not downright unlikely. The day after election produced another sign of partition between campaign and government. At noon came a press briefing featuring casually- dressed aides such as James “Ragin’ Cajun” Carville, Paul Begala, Mandy Grunwald and For his taste in company- Ivy League, old money, so- cially confident—George Bush paid a price last Tuesday. The country has paid an even higher one. There is justice in what the voters did. They rejected a President who was as stunned by his first meeting with a supermarket price scanner as Jimmy Carter appeared in an earlier election year by a killer rabbit. He was beaten by campaign workers aware of real people, those who don’t dare enter a supermarket without having checked the prices themselves and clipped the coupons from the newspaper. Clinton has promised to read the lips of such folk. And if he’s smart, which he is, the Arkansas governor will stay within complaining distance of those campaign folks who helped put him in a position to make, that presidential promise. “Herananoutstanding carnpaign,”Dan Quayle said of the Democratic President-elect. “If he rims the country as well as the campaign, we’ll be all right.” Wise words. ©1992 Tribune Media Services, Inc. _ 9 The Ring-tum Phl, November 12, 1992 Americans ' shrugged in a voting booth GEORGE WILL Washington Post Writers Group ’ Washington—A dozen N ovembers ago, at the dawn of a conservative presidential era, Walter Mondale, in his grace- , ful concession speech as vice president spoke of the majesty of the people wielding “their staggering power.” Only four . times in American history has one party held the preside cy for more than 12 consecutive years (the Republicans h ve not since 1896-1912) and this year the people's decision was « « a kind of continent-wide shrug: Might as well try someone else. Sixty-two percent of those who voted, voted against the incumbent president. But 57 percent voted against the next ‘ president. Ross Perot’s dalliance interruptus with the elec- torate produced a plurality president. No novelty, that. From 1824 (the first election in which most electoral votes were determined by popular voting rather than voting in state legislatures) through 1992 there have been 43 elections. In 15 the winner received less than a majority of popular votes. Only four times has the winner received less than 44 percent, but two strong presidents, Lincoln gd V d Wilson, received 39.8 and 41.8 respectively. Wilson Nixon (who won a first term with just 43.4 percent) won re- election. Although Clinton got just 43 percent of the popular vote, his 69 percent of the electoral votes is much better than the . 56.4 percent of the popular vote. In fact, the 1992 result resembles the 1912 three-way race when Wilson’s 41.8 percent of the populartvote won him 81.9 percent of the electoral votes. The disparity between Clinton’s popular . and electoral vote percentages resembles Eisenhower's disparities in 1952 (55.1 popular and 83.2 electoral) and v Reagan in _1980 (50.7 popular and 90.8 electoral), two elections when previous voting patterns were emphatically ruptured. In their four most recent victories prior to Tuescfiy, Republican presidential candidates won a stunning average -' of 91 percent of the electoral votes—better than the 88.3 _ percent that FDR won in four victories. On Tuesday Bush won just 31 percent. But Republican strength was already ebbing four years ago, when Bush did worse among Demo- crats than any. Republican had done since 1952. Dukakis, although now derided, did unite his party, winning bacb a majority of “Reagan Democrats” ( who were just 7 percent of the electorate). Bush was the first Republican to win a first term while his party was losing strength in both the House and Senate. This year Bush became, in part, a belated casualty of his greatest success, the Gulf War. His postwar popularity convinced him he could coast to re—election, relying on his nimbus rather than an agenda. Bush’s campaign confirmed historian Robert Conquest’s droll law: The behavior of an ' organization often can be predicted by assuming it to be controlled byacabal of its enemies. But Bush ’s campaign- constant improvisation revealing consistent insincerity— ‘was condign-.punishinent‘of5the Republican Party for‘mak- ., ...--. ~ ~ ,;,_.,:.'

Their activism is both a cause and consequence of “interest-group liberalism”—belief in brokering maximum satisfactions for the maximum number of factions. Repub- licans, being less comfortable brokering interests, require a 3‘ higher quotient of appealing ideas, both to motivate the -, ' selves and attract supporters. Hence the party should ot have put itself in the hands of a person so unlike the 1 “conviction politician” who preceded him in the presidency. Bush lacked authority, a derivative of convictions con- nected to passions. The epitaph of his presidency could be Kingsley Amis’ pbem “The Masters”: That horse whose rider fears to jump will fall, Riflemen miss if orders sound unsure; They only are secure who seem secure; Who lose their voice. lose all. As usual, and contrary to naive expectations, incumbents were not an endangered» species on Tuesday. Only three incumbent senators lost and 93 percent of House incum- bents won. Those numbers explain this one: In all of the 14 states where the political class could not prevent the peorfle . ’ from voting on term limits for U.S. senators and represen- tatives, the people imposed limits to enhance political competition. As a step toward radical reform of Washin gton’s political culture, this is potentially more important than the presidential result. The unsentimental cashiering of the incumbent president expressed the electorate’s exhilarating sense that son9e chafing restraints have been shed——a cheerful belief that risks can be taken. Today the nation is more physically secure from foreign attack than at any time in its 216 years. Domestically, it is a nation with problems—but it is a temperate, prosperous, successful nation with problems. The importance of this election, historically, is that it was the least important election since the 1920s. 0 The electorate seems to have cast a cold eye on govem- ment and politicians and decided that it and they have only limited purchase on only some problems. Hence the sense of a nation serious but unenthralled. Hence at the end of the campaign, the continental shrug: Might as well try someone else. ©1992, Washington Post Writers Group 9 Students can protect Goshen Pass environment a . To the Editor: LETTERS For many students, the Goshen Pass section of the Maury River is the ideal place to get away from it all. With its beautiful scenery, climbable rocks, and V cool whitewater, it offers the ideal set- ting to relax and return to what’s really important. Today, we have an opportimity to protect this valuable resource for fu- ture students and for future Virginia residents. Goshen Pass is currently under consideration for designation by the Commonwealth of Virginia as a protected Tier III, Outstanding Re- source River. Basically, such a desig- nation would preserve existing water quality by preventing the issuance of new permits to discharge treated or other waste into the protected section of the river. Existing permits would be grandfathered into law. The State Water Control Board is asking interested parties to comment on the designation through this Mon- day. We should all write and encour- age the State Water Control Board to make such a designation. In our letter, we should try to ad- dress why we believe the Board should make such a designation. The regula- tion requires that a Tier III waterway provide (1) an exceptional environ- mental setting, and (2) either excep- tional aquatic communities or excep- tional recreational opportunities. Therefore, our letters should address the exceptional setting and recreational opportunities available at the Pass. In other words, simply tell the State Wa- » ter Control Board why the Pass is so special and important to us as students. This designation is not without op- position. The community of Goshen has voiced its official disapproval of the measure. Apparently, they believe that designating the Pass as a Tier III area would discourage industrial de- velopment and prevent the construc- tion of a sewage treatment plant in the town. Those in favor of the designation rightfully disagree with the official town position. Supporters question whether the town of Goshen is suited for future industrial development. A narrow, winding highway provides the main access to the town. In addition, as evident from the recent factory clos- ings in Buena Vista, the trend in this area has been for industry to move out, rather than move in. Consequently, if industry looked to develop in Rockbridge County, it probably would J be more attracted to the recently va- cated industrial sites just a few miles down the road in Buena Vista. However, even if industry decided to develop in Goshen, the new regul - tions would not bar upstream develop- ment. Instead, such adesignation would merely require industry and govem- ment to comply with higher standards and limitations than are currently im- posed. In fact, the regulations autho- rize waivers of the restrictions for im- portant economic or social develop- ment in the affected area. This is not a choice between jobs and the environ: ment.

And what did we do in school? A couple of phonics lessons, a few simple mathematics problems, perhaps learn about the parts of a flower. Pretty Q‘ ple stuff. I specifically remember pending about a week watching “Charlotte’s Web” on one of those projectors that needed to be turned at ’ the sound of the beep while a tape 0 recorder was playing. Of course, this brilliant technology insured that no frame would ever have the correct dia- logue, especially when an eight year old was tmning the tantly, we developed unique bartering skills thatlast withus even today. “You gonna eat that Twinkie? I’ll give you my grape jelly sandwich for it. No? Well how about frames, which made foranextrernelylong week. Although that was the same week that a girl in the class stapled her hand about a dozen times on purpose, deserv- edly winning all the guys’ respect, and making me curious as to why I remem- ber that point in time? Wilbur or try- ing to staple my own hand? So we get through the classes and then get to enjoy the best part of the day: re- cess.(Ithinkthatwas my sandwich, these Oreos and this pear that you can throw at JoAnn later for your Twinkie and one Pop-Tart? Yeah? Cool.” Lunch traded or eaten by the to- ken fat kid wear- ing“Huskies,”we went outside to use our newly ac- quired weapons, which was the only real use for fruit at that age. (Pears were the best because they squished on con- the largest word in ourvocabularies at the time.) Although lunch was pretty important too. Not that we ever ate anything that was good for us, but we had really cool lunch boxes. Guys had G.I. Joe or Superhero lunch boxes; girls had Holly Hobby or Barbie, and if you were undecided at the time you had something like The Muppets. But perhaps more impor- tact.) You had to throw them at the girls, because they had cooties. After you squished the pears on them and they cried, the boys went to play another intelligent game, “Kill the man,” while the girls jumped rope and sang “Cinderella, dressed in yella, went upstairs to kiss her fella,” etc., etc., etc. Why didthe name calling and insulting rhymes always involve kissing? “Graham and Jenny sittin’ in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Wil- low in a baby carriage,” etc. etc. etc. But we played those games, got grass stains on our “Wranglers,” and finally lined up to go back inside. Once there,wehad two more classes of learning how to properly use an inside address on a letter, or went to the library to check out books like “Where The Wild Things Are.” Of course, if it were Friday or the day before a break, we might get to go to the cafeteria and watch “Willy Wonka and the Choco- late Factory,” which was a much better way to end the day than learning how to write your name in two-inch letters. A quick bus ride home, and within 10 minutes we had our play clothes on and kickball in hand. The hardest de- cision carne right at this time: What do I eat for snack? Which Pixie stick should I swallow: grape or lime? Or how many links should I eat off of my edible necklace or bracelet? Seriously, that was the biggest choice we had. Then we played until dinner, fed our vegetables to the dog under the table, who didn't like them either, did our four math problems and 10 sentences for homework, watched “The Dukes of Hazzard” (if it was Thursday), and went to bed by nine. It didn't get much easier than that. I wish I were eight again. D GOSHEN, From page 2 Monday, our letters should be in the mail TODAY.

Sincerely, Adri Spain "93L The W&L Law News Editorial Board The Environmental Law Forum LETTERS EC member criticizes subscription policy To the Editor: As I was perusing the last edition of The Ring-tum Phi, I noticed for the first time that on page two it says, “Founded September 18, l897.” This struck me because I had just been reading about the new policy of charging faculty and staff for the Phi. Why change something t.hat’s been work- ing well for 95 years?! To my knowledge, no previous Phi staff has decided to charge faculty for copies of the Phi. For some reason, this year’s staff, headed up by the business- like Cathy Lopiccolo, seems to think the W&L weekly newspaper should run like the Wall Street Journal. As an EC member, I heard about the new idea of the Phi ’s budget allocation being thought of as a “subscription to the student body” during the budget process. Though I thought it was sort of silly that they wanted to change the system around, I could see the point that the Phi wanted to free itself from any potential EC control. Though I don’t recall this being made clear, Iprobably assumed it would be taken out of some sort of faculty dues, since the student’s billing is taken out of their student activities dues. I think that if it had . . been made clear to the EC. that faculty would actually be . _ , 3 , .~. 9 chargeda quarter each time they went to pick upa paper, few This is our opportunity to be heardzl» 1 members I would have approved their allocation.’ Further’- ‘more, the Phi received the same budget allocation they have V gotten in the past. They do not even need the extra revenue that they are seeking through charging the faculty. The faculty and staff here, though not technically so, are an intrinsic part of the student body of this campus. All that this ridiculous new policy does is cause alienation between the students and the faculty. The faculty won't buy the papers, rightfully so, and will become more distanced from the students with whom they seek rapport. Therefore, the students are actually put at a disadvantage by the faculty not reading the paper. It’s not amatter of the 25 cents; it's the principle of trying to create a strict business relationship in our relaxed W&L environment. If the editors are so interested in mnning a “real-world” newspaper, as they have said, then why don’t they print some articles that are worthy of a “real-world” newspaper? I dare say that the Wall Street Journal would have printed “Erection Man!” Finally, the system worked fine for 95 years, and why should the 92-93 editors impose their silly idea of rtmning the Phi likea“real-world”newspa- per and change the system to the detriment of faculty and students alike? Moseley,-F393 -~ V-Senior EC rep. Amnesty International educates W&L To the Editor: “No one shall be subjected to tor- ture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment,” states Ar- ticle 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 1 don’t think there is a single person at Washington and Lee who could pos- sibly disagree with this statement and yet there seems to be some very anti- Amnesty International sentiment on campus lately. This seems to be due primarily to misconceptions about the nature of Amnesty International, which is not a liberal, radical, or politically partisan group. Amnesty International is about edu- cation. Students attending such a pres- tigious school as Washington and Lee are no doubt intelligent, but they are also sheltered in many ways. Most don’t even realize there are human rights abuses taking place every day around the world because their own environment is so safe and serene. For many of the students who do realize, the victims of torture hardly seem real. Amnesty hopes to promote a more global vision and provide infomiation for students so thatthese victims can be seen as real people, not just lamentable statistics. Amnesty also serves as a means for students to act on their be- liefs. We’re very lucky to be able to attend school and express our opinions and beliefs without fear of the conse- quences. In many countries, men, women and children are imprisoned solely for their beliefs, race or ethnic origin. If these individuals have nei- ther used nor advocated violence they are considered prisoners of conscious and the worldwide network that is Amnesty International works impar- tially to free them. The recent EC explanation for the ACLU decision states that funding for the W&L chapter of Amnesty may be rethought in the future. Thought is ex- actly what Amnesty is trying to pro- ‘Interviews and Photos By Jameson Leonardi Who is the sexiest professor and why? 1 Nicole Casteel, ’93, Valrico, Fla. — —“Dr. Knox because he wears Birks.” TALKBACK mote, but realistically we need funding to reach out to the student body. Our EC funding pays for movies, speakers and posters, not postage stamps as the Spectator’s gossip column “Heard & Overheard” might lead you to believe. It’s true we send a lot of letters to governments around the world request- ing the release of prisoners of con- scious, but the postage is paid for by dedicated students and through outside donations. I hope when EC budget hearings start next fall, members will keep in mind what Amnesty International is really about, not the misconceptions. Amnesty Interrtational at Washing- ton and Lee works — the prisoners of conscious who are now free can attest to that.

OCR::/Vol_092/WLURG39_RTP_19921112/WLURG39_RTP_19921112_004.2.txt Music Review FEATURES The Ring-tum Phl, November 1 2, 1992 Maniacs, Mondays blossom By REBECCA CROW Phi Music Columnist GIN BLOSSOMS NEW MISERABLE EXPERIENCE (A&M) From the barren desert of Tempe, Arizona, the Gin Blossoms emerge as anew band that clings to the folksy rock tradition of the Byrds. Their debut LP, New Miserable Experience, lends itself easily to the pop side of the alternative spectrum. Featuring recurrent themes of lost love, early love and drunkenness, the lyrics are very teeny-boppish and, unfortunately almost kill the strength of the music as a whole. The first three songs allude to alcohol use from the perspective of a teenager. (Were they writing for the younger audience, or what?) -In particular, “Hey Jealousy,” their first single, develops from this point of view. Vocalist Robin Wilson, while promising to re- main faithful to his love, croons, “Do you think it would be all right if I could just crash here tonight? You can see I'm in no shape for driving.” If you think those lyrics are great, guess what? They continue for 10 more songs. Most sparks of true talent fly at the beginning of the LP. At the end, all the melodies blend into the monotonous murmur that gener- ally occurs on al- bums that lack diver- sity. A refreshing break occurs with “Cajun Song,” which features a distinctively Cajun sound, and “Cheatin’,” which incorporates a dash of country. Nonetheless, lyrics about love and drinking still prevail. I guess some themes apply to all genres. Fortimately, the jangling guitars and powerful rhytlnns of the songs prove that the Gin Blossoms have the talent to progress into the innermost circles of rock. This is an excellent effort for a debut album that lends itself to much future development and growth. The Blossoms are definitely a band to watch. THE ***k********‘Ir**************************************k 10,000 MANIACS OUR TIME IN EDEN ( Elcktra ) On Labor Day 1981, six young musicians per- formed together for the first time in a small club under the name 10,000 Maniacs. Now, ten years later, they are one of the biggest sensations in alternative rock. The combination of lead singer Natalie Merchant’s eerie alto and their diverse musical roots (calypso, folk, reggae, rock) have charmed a generation of music lovers. Merchant’s impassioned vocals crooned the woes of social and political injustices, touching the hearts of many into affecting change. “ Three years have passed, however, since Blind Man’s Zoo, and the Mani- acs have a new pro- ducer, Paul Fox (Robyn Hitchcock, XTC). Gone are the oommentative lyrics that empowered and carried the songs. On Our Time In Eden the depth comes from very subtle allegorical references to the Catholic assump- tion that we are fallen beings who can not recreate paradises here on earth. The first single, “These Are Days,” commands people to find their inner strength, their inherent ability to adjure the world and mold it into what it should be. _ _ Ironically, ratherthan describing paradise, “Eden” depicts a garden in which we are all roses who suffer from a lack of spiritual refreshment. Merchant queries, “Is there still time? If we wake and discover in life a precious love, will that waking become more heavenly?” Perhaps Merchant sees our world with the same eyes as T.S. Eliot saw his in “The Waste- land.” For those who feel the Maniacs have not devel- oped in the last decade, Our Time In Eden offers “I’m Not The Man,” a death row monologue recited on the behalf of a black male accused of a crime he did not commit. “Call out the KKK,” he cries. “They're wild after me.” Merchant’s unearthly chanting set to a pounding rhythm sounds far closer to the synthesized notes of Suzanne Vega than the folksy Maniacs. Once again, the 10,000 Maniacs have produced a work that causes our hearts to drone with ache and leap with joy simultaneously. Paradise may be lost ***&********§*****§*********** STUDENT ACTIVITIES BOARD PRESENTS Tom Del u ca Saturday, November 14, 7:30 p.m. in the Lenfest Center ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥-¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ forever, but in our minds and hearts, our time in Eden is as real as our days on Earth. HAPPY MONDAYS YES, PLEASE (Elektra) Those of you who thought that the Happy Mon- days had finally met their end should be overjoyed about their new release, Yes, Please. Their diverse sound brought a rough edge to popular music that still remains today. Unfortunately, arrests for drug possession and their gangster image quickly tore the Mondays from the music scene. Late in 1991, however, the Mondays hired a new booking agent, Ian Flooks, who pushed them to record again, this time with the production team of Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz (Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club). Like the Happy Monday’s previous efforts, Yes, Please is totally relaxed and carefree, yet put to- gether in a manner intended to produce excitement. Fans of Pills ‘N’ Thrills may be disappointed by the lack of heroin-induced lyrics, but please don’t be dismayed. The style is as cocky as ever, only with rhythms and lyrics that are tart, sharp and sparkling. “Monkey In The Family” adds a touch of fun to the collection by following the ambiguity of a They Might Be Giants song. “Sunshine And Love,” whose title almost appears to have been stolen from the Tom Tom Club’ s single “Sunshine and Ecstacy” (released in the spring), “Love Child” (no, they are not closet Diana Ross fans) and “Total Ringo” are classic Happy Mondays riffs. The rhythm forces you to get up and dance. Ryder’s recovery from drug abuse and his growing confi- dence is emphasized in “Angel,” which concerns the firsten- counter one has with a doctor or perhaps a therapist. Overall, this al- bum is exemplary. Onlyif the New Kids On The Block were to suddenly mature, learn to write real lyrics and learn to play instruments can I imagine any band putting forth more quality effort on a come-back album.

S01 Wachtler, a distinguished W&L alum- nus in the class of ’5 1, stepped down Tuesday as New York state's top judge, three days after being accused of harassing and attempting to extort $20,000 from a former lover. FBI agents arrested Wachtler, 62, Saturday. The FBI alleges that Wachtler began contacting with sexually explicit letters and phone calls a New York City woman, with whom they say he had had a relationship. The FBI alleges that the harassment of the woman escalated to threatening to kidnap her daughter and blackrnailing her. The woman, Joy A. Silvennan,_is a Repub- lican socialite and one-time Bush nominee to be ambassador to Barbados. She is related to Wachtler by marriage. The FBI arrested Wachtler Saturday after agents witnessed him pick up an envelope sup- posed to contain the money they allege he extorted from Silverrnan, The New York Times reported. Wachtler received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Washington and Lee in 1951 and a Bach- elor of Laws degree in 1952. In recent years Wachtler has been men- tioned in political circles as a contender for New York governor and U.S. Supreme Court justice.

"V’\-‘p-I Guide makes sense of Moot Court C] From GUIDE, page 1 not “foster an excessive governmental entanglement with religion.” Appearance of end0rsement.This is the crux of the 1992 Davis problem. ‘ The Supreme Court has recently inter- preted the Lemon test as prohibitive of religious displays that even appear to endorse a particular faith. If the menorah’s presence on city property gives the mere appearance that the city is endorsing the Jewish faith, it cannot be allowed. Time, place, and manner restric- tions. These have been upheld as a valid means of regulating displays, demonstrations, etc. without violating participants’ freedom of speech —— the means by which expression is con- ducted may be restricted, but not the basis of the content of that expression. Many cases relating to the Davis prob- lem involve‘ titriegiplace laid vmarmer restrictions, either as a contributing factor leading to the litigation or as a proposed solution. Lynch v. Donnelly and Allegheny County v. ACLU of Greater Pitts- burgh.'I'hese cases stand for the propo- sition that a municipality may permit a display if the religious content is out- weighed by neutral, secular content. Sometimes lawyers jokingly call this the “three—reindeer rule” — if a holiday display contains an otherwise imper- missible religious symbol, three rein- deer are sufficiently secular to detract from the religious content. (This is about as witty as constitutional law scholars get.) The more permissive “coercion” standard. Intended as a replacement for the Lemon test and argued by Jus- tice Kennedy in his dissent in Allegh- eny County, this test would allow gov- emmental support /of religion unless ticipating in the religion. The City of Danburg may try to argue this, even though the Supreme Court rejected it this summer in Lee v. Weisman, a Rhode Island graduation-prayer case. Compelling state interest. For speech to be abridged, the state must argue that considerations of public policy compel that abridgement.
