Atkins reminded the IFC of its strong role in the Rockbridge Christmas basket program. The program collects food, toys and money from community organi- zations and distributes them to needy families. “I can remember when no one outside W&L had respect for fra- ternities,” Atkins said. He cred- its the improved relations to “a room full of food, toys and checks that was being donated to the community.” , Not to be outdone, W&L’s sororities also joined community holiday programs. Chi Omega and Kappa Alpha Theta members donated toys and clothing to needy children through Project Angel Tree. “We get a list of 180 kids with their names, age, and clothes size then buy them presents,” said senior Liz Randol, Theta com- munity service chainnan. Kappa Kappa Gamma will bring Santa Claus to the Co-op on Wednesday for holiday pic- tures. For a donation to needy neighbors, students and children can sit with Santa for a photo opportunity. While several other fratemi- ties host faculty cocktail parties, the brothers of Pi Kappa Phi will sing carols, eat cookies and give gifts to a throng of Lexington children. Junior Pi Phi Doug Matia expects up to 80 kids from kindergarten through fifth grade to fill the house tomorrow. The Phi Delta Theta House Corporation, playing grinches this year, canceled the liveliest children’s Christmas party on campus. Santa, Mrs. Claus and nearly 40 children from Lexington’s Diamond Hill area won’t be stopping by for gifts and good times. Fte: 9.:-«aw By LEIGH ALLEN Phi News Editor Distinguished Civil War historian and author Shelby Foote gave a rare speech to a capacity crowd in Lee Chapel Tuesday night. Foote revealed some of the theories behind his unique literary style’ that made his three—volume series on the Civil War famous. “A fact becomes truth only when you love it,” Foote said. “I love the Civil War. It is a part of me.” Foote criticized most modern histo- rians as being dry as dust. He said many historians lack the imagination to add the lifetotheirworksnecessaryto make them entertaining as well as informa- tlve. Foote Foote said writers should turn their prose into art by adding emotion to their works in the same manner as painters and musicians. Good historians should make their works into good literature, he said. After his speech, Foote answered questions for more than one hour on topics from modern literature to the Civil War, the area in which he is most famous. Often referring to the Confederacy as “we,” the Greenville, Miss., native said he believes the most important campaigns of the Civil War were along the Mississippi River. Foote said many people in Virginia believe the most important battles of the war were fought between Rich- mond and Washington and thatall other battles were insignificant. Foote said he believes the opposite is true. “Of all the people in the nation who know the least about the Civil War, Virginians are the worst,’,’ Foote said, History needs imagination, emotion drawing laughter from the audience. Foote said he avoids naming favor- ite or most important men or events from the Civil War. But he said he believes the war revealed two military geniuses, U.S. President Abraham Lin- coln and Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest. “Lincoln was the only one on the Union side who had precise ideas on what the war meant and how it should be fought,” Foote said. Forrest, he said, was a natural sol- dier who could read the mind of his opponents with deadly accuracy. Foote spent three days at Washing- ton and Lee lecturing and speaking to history classes before he left today. 'I'heRobertL.Telford Distinguished Lecturer Series sponsored Foote’svisit.

IFC approves alcohol mentors By JUSTIN MCNAULL Phi Staff Writer The IFC Tuesday approved a program to give each fraternity an in-house alcohol abuse expert, but training might not start until spring. After houses elect new offic- ers for spring term, each frater- nity vice president will attend an initial five-hour training session in the Student Alcohol Mentor (SAM) program, Interfratemity Council President Sam Rock said. University Psychologist James Worth said he hopes the program will train a member of each fraternity and sorority to be a resource on drug and alcohol abuse issues. The SAM program encourages responsible drinking and decision making. Worth» spoke to a November IFC meeting advocating the pro- gram, which has been imple- mented by all four sororities. “If this program would work, the Hill doesn’t have to put heat on you,” Worth said. “It will be a wayto take responsibilty foryour- selves.” Worth said the program be- gan in the University of Virginia athletic department’s program and it has expanded to nearly all of UVa’s 29 fratemities. The W&L athletic department joined the program this fall and Worth said he hopes to begin training fraternity and sorority officers as soon as possible. UVa students, W&L Health Educator Jan Kaufman and mem- bers of the athletic department SAMprogram will probably help with the first training session, Worth said. Worth said he hoped to begin the program after sorority elec- tions in January. He must now determine whether to start the women’ s pro- gram in the winter, or wait and train both groups after fratemi- ties elect officers at the end of winter term, he said. Worth promised that the pro- gram will be tailored to W&L’s tradition of student programs without interference by the ad- ministration. “We hope SAMs will be a valuable resource that will main- tain itself through its successes,” Worth said. Sigma Chi Kevin Batteh, ’95, voiced support at Tuesday’s meeting for the way the program allows fratemities to work out their own problems. “Part of brotherhood is to watch out for one another,” he said, “and to handle things inter- nally.” Photo by Mallory Meyers, The Ring-tum Phi The Sbar Side returns ex Wednesday.

Third-year cadet James Samuel Gillespie III was driv- ing on U.S. 1 1 one mile south of Lexington on the morning of Nov. 26 when he veered into the path of a cement truck in the opposing lane. Gillespie and University of Virginia junior Heather Altizer, who was riding in the car, died at the scene of the accident. The two students, both 20 and both ofPounding Mill, Va., were driving home for Thanksgiving in Gillespie’s 1980 Pontiac when the accident occured. The News Gazette reported Dec. 2 that a witness driving be- hind Gillespie said his car ap- peared to nuddenly veer into the path of the truck. Gillespie was a defensive end on the VMI football team and a civil engineering major. A memorial service will be held Friday at noon in Jackson Memorial Hall at VMI.

Neither rain nor snow, nor dark of night will keep the postman from making his rounds. Except in Lexington. Missed issues in magazine subscriptions, letters that take a week to come from Baltimore, followed by ones that arrive in three days from" Denver, and letters mailed that never see their destinations: these are the problems that plague our small-town branch of the U.S. Post Office. Yet when we lick the back of our stamps, they taste the same as they do in Charlottesville, Washington and Los Angeles. And they cost as much. Phi subscription delivery, which might be described as spotty at best, drew our attention to the post office scene. After countless complaints of irregular out-of-town receipt of the Phi, we thoroughly checked our operation. But the Phis are dropped off with the I.ex post office on a regular, weekly schedule. From there, we just don’t know what happens to them. And neither, it seems, does the post office. We’ve called post office officials high and low, and everyone denies fault.

Also, please contact Lexington Postmaster Larry Creamer at 703-463- 2822, Mrs. Beard at the Charlottesville post office at 804-978-7610, and your local post office, so they know we’re not making this up.

Alas, in this apparent sea of prosperity, we poor, starving students can’t afford presents for everyone on our list. But in the spirit of the season, we will at least present our annual list of what we would like everyone to have. Or maybe what they really want. Or maybe what they really need. Or maybe what they really deserve. We hope they accept our “gifts” with a jolly ho-ho. Or whatever the Hanukkah bunny says.

Peltz, ’93 It’s always hardtoacceptthatsome- one has died. In M.’s casein particular. He was 37, married, with a one-year-old child. He had plans, and he was going places. Just where I might be one day. Not expecting to die. It’s hard to accept that the living intelligence that sat in our living room, with which I carried on a conversation on more than one occasion, is gone, extinguished. M. lived, just like I live. He had memories. He had favorite things. He liked to laugh and to have fun. He knew the wet, juicy taste of an apple when your teeth crunch into it. He liked to watch television. On the night he died, he fell asleep watching television. And T. She woke up, and her hus- band didn't. That night he took off his clothes and put on his bed clothes. He climbed under the sheets and felt the smooth- ness of cotton on bare feet. He propped up his pillow to watch TV. He probably forces a student to forget thought about what he would do the next day. He probably held T.’s hand awhile. He probably thought of his daughter with whom he had played that night. He closed his eyes, and his mind drifted off to sleep, to dream, to heal, just as it did every night, just as I do every night. And something happened. Who knows if his sleeping brain even had a moment to be alarmed, if his subcon- scious mind reacted, maybe with vio- lent dream images, or maybe by jerk- ing a hand and an arm, demanding some physical response from the body, maybe not understanding exactly what was happening. And then oblivion. M. grew up. He remembered his parents. He remembered school. He made friends. He loved people. He probably hated some people. He made jokes. He argued about politics. He remembered everything withthe amaz- ing efficiency of the human brain. And then it was all gone. T. and everyone will corrifort them- selves by thinking of the immortal soul, even if there is no such thing, even if they wouldn’t otherwise believe in it. They’lltalkaboutthelife M.had, rather LETTERS than the life he didn’t, despite the fact that all he was is gone now. They’l1 talk about what he contributed to their lives, even though they will eventually die too. M. didn’tbuildabuilding.He didn’t write a book. We comfort ourselves by saying that what he gave to us and to the world will endure, his spirit, but a hundred years from now, no one will remember him. Even his descendants, his daughter’s cliildren’s children, will know nothing more about him then some very old, two-dirnensional pho- tographs of somebody who eerily re- sembles uncle so-and-so. Or maybe not. All that he was is gone. His chance to guide humanity is gone. Mine likely will be one day too. So it will probably be for everyone I love. There isn't enough immortality to go around. Howcanwe possibly deal with that? How can we deal with that when it’s thrust in our faces like this? How can we maintain our will to live? I guess we forget it. Everyone thinks about it now. But what am I going to do when I’m done writing this? I'm going to go take notes for a history paper, putting M. and T. out of my mind. And nextweek, our family will have Thanks- giving, and we’ll laugh and talk and divert one another’ s thoughts from Aunt Renee and M. We'll go so far as to help each other forget. Even T. will at some point decide to “go on” with her life, which is just a euphemism for deliber- ately forgetting. She’ll backslide some- times, but she’ll eventually “accept” what happened and “go on.” My great grandmother advocates the same strategy with a more positive tone. She says we should seize the day. It’ s anoble sentiment, one I value, to an extent. Often not to a sufficient extent, but I try. And at times like this I try all 9 the more, because tragedy reminds me of it. But isn't this strategy just another euphemism for deliberatelyforgetting? Doesn't it essentially say, “Live now, because the only alternative is to die, which you’ll have to do one day any- way”? Isn’t “seize the day” appealing O for the same reason as a Ziggy cartoon that encourages us to procrastinate? I suppose forgetting is all we can do. I’m going to forget about you, M. I’m going to put you out of my mind. Please forgive me.

The Ring-tum Phi Post Office Box 899 Lexington, Virginia 24450 In the Nov. 5 issue of The Ring-tum Phi, an editorial was published which was a direct attack on the VMI Corps of Cadets and the Commandant, Colonel Mike Bissell. The editorial began by describing cadets in the following manner. “Like wives in the Bible, they seem to be most active before dawn. Fists clenched, shoulders back, staggering with bloodshot eyes and smelling of vomit and stale beer, roving bands of them come to invade late-night Lexington gather- ings.” The paper further declares that “The cadets will make adequate officers, but will they also be gentlemen?” The article continues by offering descriptions of recent cadet actions uptown, including several recent fights. The article was written in a very slanted maruier, and it does not include adequate explana- tions of the incidents. Included is the following description of Col. Bissell. “Bissel’s defense of his students goes beyond mere blind faith and enters the realm of blatant stupidity. Bissel’s apparent ‘us against them’ mentality, which prevents him from punishing his beloved cadets, only allows them to discard responsibility for their actions.” Iwouldliketobegin my response to this commen- tary by expressing my disappointrnent in The Ring- tiim Phi for printing this article. Had the piece been written in a humorous tone, I would understand picking on cadets, but in a serious article, there is no excuse for this type of narne-calling and generaliza- tion. Secondly, I am disappointed that such a stereo- type would be applied in a serious journalistic news- paper. If the Ring-tum Phi had printed stereotypes about minorities, homosexuals, or any group other than cadets, I’m sure they could expect quite a reaction. If The Ring-tum Phi wants to discourage “W&L students from provoking conflict,” then per- and refrain from uncomplimentary blanket remarks about cadets. Personally, I can vouch for the fact that not every W&L student is an example of good citizenship, or even pleasant company for that matter. I know a couple of W&L students who I have long considered to be the most pompous, self-important, horses’ southsides I have ever met. On the other hand, I have had the opportunity to meet some really nice indi- viduals who were friendly and congenial. Let me use as examples a few of my experiences in the past year. Last spring, I was invited, along with several other cadets, to a W&L fraternity party. I had a great time, met a lot of affable W&L students, and enjoyed a good band. I was very impressed by the fraternity and the brothers, and I can say without reservation that every single one was friendly and pleasant. Not that I'm passing any judgment, butl also saw some W&L students who were completely drunk, and who were all too eager to relieve themselves outside and vomit wherever the urge struck them. That weekend, one of the brothers got arrested two nights in a row on the same street by the same officer for being drunk in public. Ironically, this individual was also one of the students that I enjoyed meeting and hoped to rim into again some time. I also had to go to court in Lexington this fall where I was convicted of speeding. Although I was the only cadet in the courtroom, there were more W&L students present than I can count on both hands. The first one was convicted of public drunk- enness, drunk driving, and possession of marijuana. The last one was also convicted of drunk driving. The point by now should be obvious. First, W&L students are not a flock of innocent little lambs. Second, I have not based my opinions of W&L students on the actions of a few miscreants, and W&L students were pot smoking, drunk-driving winos. As for the accusation that anything prevents Col. Bissel from “punishing his beloved cadets,” this is simply not true. I can assure The Ring-tum Phi that Col. Bissel has no qualms whatsoever about leveling . serious and harsh punishments on cadets who rim ‘ afoul of the rules either on post or in Lexington. As an example, I asked the deputy commandant what pen- alty a cadet would get if he was seen leaving a frat house after 1 1 p.m. on a weeknight in civilian clothes while he was not on official leave. Even if the cadet had a verbal invitation and there was no trouble whatsoever involved, the cadet would get 20 demer- its, four months of post confinement, and 80 penalty tours. As any cadet can attest, neither 16 weekends spent at VMI nor 80 hours of marching are anyone’s idea of a picnic. A cadet who starts a fight can be placed on report for “conduct unbecoming a cadet," which, depending on the offense, carries penalties up to disrriissal. The only reason a cadet might not be penalized by the Institute is if he has had charges pressed by the police for the same incident. In this way, the cadet is not penalized twice for the same offense. One point that The Ring-tum Phi failed to address ‘ (or admit) is the fact that most if not all of these fights seem to have been started by W&L students. (The researched details of these incidents are outlined on the front page of the Oct. 13 issue of The VMI Cadet.) While I won’t defend cadets who start fights at fraternity houses, I will certainly stand behind those who defend themselves, and I think the rest of the . VMI community will agree. Charles V. Hardenbergh Editorial Editor, The VMI Cadet Last year ’s open honor trial raises question To the Editor: This letter comes in response to The Ring-tum Phi editorial “Leave honor to the students.” I would like to first of all clarify what went on at the Board of Trustees meeting three weeks ago in Atlanta. Following procedure, I gave an update on the Honor System with regard to our caseload and the various honor orientations. I did mention the fact that there was an Open Hearing last May. the first in two years. Let me now say for the record that there was absolutely no discussion about the spe- cities of the case nor any attempt to reinstate the dismissed student, period. However, following the Open Hear- inglast May there was some discussion among some alumni of the University, as there always is after one of these, about the Honor System. As a result, a few letters were written, including one from the father of the dismissed stu- dent, an alumnus, to specific members of the Board, citing what they thought were problems with the system. So, prior to the Board meeting, the Rector of the University, A. Stevens Miles, wrote me a letter acknowledg- ing that he had received these letters, one of which called for a review of the Honor System by a committee of the Board of Trustees. His responseto that idea was as follows: “In view of the fact that the by-laws of the university clearly state that re- sponsibility for the Honor System re- sides with the students, I believe that it would be more appropriate for the Ex- ecutive Committee to conduct the re- view and decide what changes, if any, should be made. You may feel free to call on me if you would like to have any input from the Board, but the responsi- bility is yours.” To me that is a supreme affirmation of the Board’s commitment to student control of the Honor System. This feel- ing was reiterated to me at the Board meeting in Atlanta. There was no dis- cussion of the points brought up in any of the letters, it was simply left up to me what, if anything, the Executive Com- mittee should do with them. The min- utes of the Board meeting and anyone in attendance will attest to the afore- mentioned facts. Had the Phi done any research into this matter, i.e. talk to those who were at the meeting, or believed what I had told them, the facts that I outlined above, this editorial would never have been written. It is my opinion that the Phi owes an apology to the Board of Trust- ees to whom, because of their commit- ment to the Honor System, student autonomy, and the University as a whole, we are deeply indebted. Sincerely, Josh MacFar1and, ’93 President of the Student EC To the Editor: In reference to the editorial [Nov. 12] “Leave Honor to the Students”, 1 would simply like to reiterate a few points. First I want to commend. The Phi for keeping such a vigilant watch on a system which seems to be suffer- ing from the illness ofpolitics. It is only through awareness that the students of this school can actively protect a tradi- tion which has been revered for more than a century. Specificallywithregardto lastyear’s honor trial, it is important to address certain concerns. A student was charged, tried and found guilty, not by some elite, but by a jury of peers. Representative students of this school concluded that this student was guilty, both in closed and open forums. The issue is no longer one of guilt or inno- cence. The issue now is the future, or rather the present of the Honor Code. To even consider allowing an openly and judiciously convicted student to return to W&L is an outrage. It is tantamount to saying that money and § influence (and perhaps a relative on the Board of Trustees) give one license to extend the boundaries of the Honor Code. For a community which so cher- ishes the memory of Lee, and the stan- dards of honorable conduct, this as- v N L *. as: may ‘:1? <1’ vs. \..a».- ex»-v«-' at V I‘-£4: fii Mir. y .~:¢-.o us‘, .. 9': <>—- ‘‘''...«§ ». ,-,ga_ vi.‘ L‘ .- .,s,.. \a ,4; -1; (‘v : .—..\a-..@..:...-'.. 3.... __ sault on Washington and Lee would be 0 . disastrous. Ii: effects on the character of W&L, and on its reputation would be irreparable. What was reported last week is con- fusing. However, amidst the confu- sion, there is truth.

Kowalyk, ’93 LETTERS Student chides humor columnist To the Editor: I’m writing in reaction to Tom Hespos’ article, which the editors of the Phi decided to include in their November 19 issue. First, on a general note, Tom, I know that you're “Spos" to be funny, but then again the editors of this illustri- ous newspaper are “Spos” to choose a furmy person to write these articles, so I guess it's not entirely your fault that you've been encouraged to make a fool of yourself in print once every two weeks. Your inability to write anything humorous, however, was never enough reason for me to write to the Phi. After all, this year we’ve become used to humor columnists failing rniser- ably. I was finally moved to write because your colunm last week took tastelessness to a new level of which you were (I hope) completely unaware when you wrote the filth. So let me till you in. Four years ago, a Washington and Lee student, Ashley Scarborough, was killed by another student who was driving drunk. One of the pieces of evidence in the conviction of Blake Comer involved a “few front-end paint chips” which were found embedded in Ashley's body. Stan to get the picture? Evidently, your “Uncle Vito” never heard of the incident, but I would think that at some point you had. Yet you decided to write your “humor” in order. colunm anyway, suggesting that we should all begin to rim over VMI cadets with our cars. Advocating “vehicular homicide” to W&L students is about as funny as telling jokes about ovens to survivors of the Holocaust. For their sake, I hope Ashley's parents do not continue to subscribe to the Phi, but whether they do or not, I hope you realize that some sort of printed apology is Two last suggestions, Tom. First, please leave the third- person references to the sports figures and the politicians. Second, I’m sure the VMI cadets are really scared of your Uncle Vito, so don’t worry if a few of them trap you in the away. Delt house (oops...sorry Tom) or in a dark alley late at night. I'm sure if you just mention his name they’l1 back off right To the editors of the Phi, I send my warmest congratu- lations. I didn’t think that it was possible for your con- sciences to ever allow you to print anything more tasteless than “Erection Man," but you’ve outdone yourselves once again. Nice job, guys. Keep up the good work. (Not entirely) Sincerely, Scott A. Smith '93 ‘ AIDS project leader questions Phi coverage _ o the Editor: I am writing to protest the Phi ‘s lack f coverage of what I feel is a very mportant new organization on the . campus, the AIDS Education ’ oj t. I have been considering writ- ing this letter for quite some time but I ve hesitated because I thought it portant to wait and see if a pattern eveloped. Unfortunately, it has. ‘ The AIDS Project was founded this ,ear in order to provide education on rev%ntion and compassion dealing ith this disease. We have received an incredibly warm welcome from the tlinilrersity as a whole, including ad- . inistration, faculty, staff, students, . pus groups and local citizens. It seems the only group that is not willing to welcome our organization is the school’s newspaper. i At the beginning of the year, two different reporters wrote stories intro- Gucing the group to the university. Both 'cles were pushed aside at least three times, often in favor of stories about quclhsubjects as flowers on the tables at i To the Editor: I wanted to write this letter in hopes of informing stu ents about the car tax—what it means to them and hat to do when the tax arrives around Dec. 1. The Virginia state law basically states that resi- dents shall register their cars and pay taxes on them if they are garaged in the city for a majority of the ear. (If you pay a car tax at home, however, you do not have to pay Lexington’s tax.) Since the students have not volunteered to regis- ter Qieir cars with the city, the Commissioner of evenue has been told to get the necessary iriforma- tion any way she can. Dec. 1 many of us (and our parents) will be receiving a bill in the mail ordering usto pay this tax. VMI. All the while, the editors of the paper insisted that the articles on the AIDS Project were bumped for more important news stories. Finally, in October, Amy Yarcich, a reporter for the Phi and an active par- ticipant in the AIDS Project, convinced the editors thatastory about the group's trip to the AIDS Quilt in Washington, D.C. would be a good idea. I thought that, at last, this pattern of ignoring our group was over. I was wrong. Last Tuesday [Nov. 10], the AIDS Project hosted its first speaker, Dr. Bob Carrere, ’72. To my knowledge, the Phi did not even bother to send a reporter to cover the lecture despite two of the editors being personally rerriinded as well as receiving a copy of the press release issued by the News Office. Instead, the editors chose to coverone of two events that occurred last Wednesday night [Nov. 11]—Dr.Wilson’squestion-arid- answer session on the mission state- ment, which was only attended by 35 people. The AIDS Project's speaker was attended by approximately 90 According to the law, residents cannot have their cars legally taxedif they.-,_a_re garaged iI1_*]E.9eXi’§!g§)1}:‘ for less‘ than a majority of the year.

If, while classes are in session, our cars are ga- raged outside of Lexington for an additional seven weeks, we cannot be taxed (because the accumulated time would amount to less than a majority of the year). people. While I don’t think coverage should necessarily be determined by attendance, I simply do not feel that we are being treated fairly. This lack of coverage is unfortunate for many reasons, but most impor- tantly because the AIDS Project is serv- ing such a vital role on this campus. Our generation is the AIDS Genera- tion. It is estimated by many experts that we will be the first group of college graduates who attend more funerals than weddings. Indeed, if the Phi had bothered to cover the lecture last Tues- day, they would have heard that ac- cording to the Centers forDisease Con- trol, college age people are among the groups at highest risk of contracting AIDS. Others in this high-risk group include: heterosexuals, women, and Southerners. Our campus must begin to meet its responsibilities in educating and deal- ing with this disease. Anyone who be- lieves that just because no one has tested HIV positive at the irifirmary, that there are no I-IIV positive students on this campus is a fool. Anyone who says that if we are going to have an AIDS Project we should have a Cancer Project and a Heart Project is being petty. These other diseases are not nearly as preventable as AIDS, and they certainly do not provoke the kind of hatred and bigotry that AIDS often does. The thing that has impressed me the most about starting this group is that something I had only dreamed of happening has happened, the entire community is voicing support for what we are doing, there are no political or religious lines being drawn, I have not received any threatening phone calls, and some of the most unlikely people are approaching me on the Colomiade and asking what they can do to help. We at Washington and Lee should be proud of this, and we should be able to read about it in our school newspaper. Sincerely yours, Patrick McDerrnott Coordinator AIDS Education Project Student advises howto beat the car tax is fightable (and bearable), then they may mistakenly If you choose to join me in fighting the tax by garaging your car somewhere other than Lexington for an additional seven weeks, take your bill to the Commissioner of Revenue’s office and tell them that your car cannot be taxed because it is not garaged in Lexington for a majority of the year. Remember, the bill you receive is not absolute. It assumes that our cars are garaged in Lexington for a majority of the year ——that assumption is notnecessarily correct. You must inform your parents about this tax over break because the Commissioner of Revenue sends a copy of the bill both to your address at school and at home. If your parents do not know that this tax Sincerely, James F. Kull Junior EC rep I - Archivist praises law correspondent, corrects error To the Editor: , As a member of the Law School ‘community, I applaud the inclusion of a Law School writer on The Ring-tum Phi staff. Such a move can only serve to imifiove relations on either side of the bridge. As archivist of the Law School, ‘however, I must make one correction onceming the article onthe MootCourt ornpetition. In her otherwise fine ar- 'cle, J .D. Lowry misidentified John W.Davis as “a W&L law professor in the 1950s." She was off by more than half a century. Davis graduated from the College of Washington and Lee 100 years ago in 1892. He took his degree from the School of Law in 1895. He taught at the Law School for only the following year (1896-97). While it is true that he is best known nationally for arguingthe “wrong” side of Brown vs. Board of Education, I hope the impression was not left that this is the reason the Moot Court com- Interviews and Photos By Jameson Leonardi 4 Roland Chase, ’95, Idstein, Germany “Snow.” petition bears his name. Davis argued 141 cases before the Supreme Court competition (only two others—one of them being Daniel Webster—had ar- gued more), was solicitor general of the United States, turned down a U.S. Supreme Court nomination, was a presi- dential candidate, and was Ambassa- dor to the Court of Saint James, to hit only some of the highlights of his long career. He was not, as Daniel J. Komstein has put it, “Brandeis’s ideal Peoples’ Attorney.” He is, however, by any measure one of the most distinguished graduates of the Law School. It is be- cause this “most accomplished appel- late advocate of his era” consistently stressed the importance of moot court in legal education, that the John W. Davis Moot Court Competition bears his name. Sincerely, John N.

The show will be held in the store and will feature poetry about the clothes, as well as mu- 5%: and food. Warren said that she’s working on a relaxed atmo- sphere and maybe some kind of “ending surprise.” Over the Garden Wall, which opened inJuly, carries hand-made jewelry, Amish baskets, one-of- zfikind clothing, and other art, like pottery and paintings. Most of the pieces are made by artists in the area, in Canada, and even in Eu- rope. ’ Warren said she thinks Lex- ington has plenty of room to grow fitistically. “I want to bring nice stuff you’d usually see in a big city,” she said.

As reported in Curtain Call, the Heidi of Miss Wassenien’s play is 40-year-old professor Heidi Holland, whom the audi- ence meets in 1990 as she shows slides to her art history class at Columbia University. One slide triggers a flashback to a 1965 high school dance. The Tony Award-winning play is directed by Washington and Lee's playwright-in-resi- dence, Tom Ziegler. “When I first saw Wendy Wassertein’s‘ Heidi Chronicles’ in New York a few years ago, I was delighted to encounter an- other poor soul who seemed slightly out of sync with the rollicking turbu- lence of that time,” Ziegler said The main Character Of Heidi is the characters of Debbie and Denise, agrees with Mikita. “It doesn’t male bash at all,” Aussiker said. “It’saboutHeidi’s evolution and what she finds out about herself.” Aussiker is one of several actors who portray more than one character.

The model shows Howe and Parmly Halls, the two current science buildings, connected by a new building with a curved front wall, five front columns, and an exterior glass staircase. “Some [board members] felt it was too modern,” Parsons said. “There was a little bit too much glass in a few places.” Parsons said architects will be meeting with university officials and science depart- ment chairmen over the next year to discuss design ideas. Parsons said the center will not necessarily look like Payette’s model. “They haven’t even talked to the depart- ment heads to see what their needs are,” Par- sons said. “It’s very premature to say what thy, building will look like.” Parsons said the Board of Trustees will have the final decision on how the building will look. ' “Having five columns is like having a five- cylinder engine,” Parsons said. “Believe me it’s going to change.” .

The Generals are preparing for Hampden-Sydney tonlht at 7:30. Big men power W&L during road swing By JUSTIN MCNAULL Phi Staff Writer Streaky shooting forced head coach Verne Carifield to play musical guards, but consistent play by two big men led the Generals to three wins in a three- state, five-game Thanksgiving road trip. Games I & 2 - Sm Antenie Washington and Lee dropped the season opener to Trinity (Tex.) 71-63, but rebounded with a 56-53 win over Harnline (Minn.) in the consolation game of the Trinity Invitational in San Antonio. Sophomore Mark Connelly scored 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in two games as he made the all-touma- ment team. The 6-7 forward made 64 percent of his shots. Connelly’s play impressed Canfield, but it didn’t surprise the veteran coach. “Mark has the potential to be an excellent big man,” said Canfield. “You’ll eventually see him shooting the three-pointer and posting up, but right now we're concentrating on him inside.” Connelly’s height inside helped open up center Robert Miggins, who had 20 points and 12 rebounds during the tournament. “For his size, he’ s the best rebounder I’ve had,” said Canfield. “He hits the boards real hard and takes the ball to the hole real well.” Junior guard Matt Newton also stepped up his play during the touma- ment, scoring 22 points in only 34 minutes off the bench, hitting all four of his 3-point shots and playing strong defense (five steals). “Matt has a great capacity to score quickly,” said Carifield. “He can come off the bench and play great defense.” The Generals needed Newton’s scoring punch as starting senior guards Bryan Watkins and Bryan Brading struggled in San Antonio, shooting an UNIV aRsfT3%' SPORTWEAR T5 VV. WASHINGTON ST LEXINGTON, VA 24450 703 464-3000 Now Carrying Merreii Hiking Boots abysmal 3-for-34. Good games by freshman Derek Carter (nine points. vs. Hamline) and sophomore John Rogers (eight points vs.Trinity) earned the split, despite the team’s ice cold 37 percent shooting. More importantly, the Generals got the ball to the right people at the right times for the Harnline win. . - h‘ The Generals showed up at Sewanee three days later and unloaded, scoring 85 points as five players reached double figures. Watkins came back in a fury, scor- ing a career-high 26 points on 7-10 shooting, and 9-11 on free throws. Brading joined the guard resurgence, shooting well (3-5, 2 3-pointers) and scoring 10 points, his high for the trip. Carter added 13 points and five re- bounds in only 18 minutes of play. The freshman averaged 6.4 points on 48 percent shooting during the road trip. Connelly stayed sharp with 12points and six rebounds before fouling out. Canfield likes how his team re- sponded to Sewanee’s challenge. “This proves we can play at a hos- tile crowd with some poor officiating and stay within our game plan,” he said. “It’s a great thing to see early in the season and is a credit to the play- ers." Game 4 - Bridgewater, Virginia The Generals’ 48-point second half blitz put away Bridgewater, 67-54, as the W&L ended the day atop the Old Dominion Athletic Conference stand- ings (3-l overall, 1-0 ODAC). A first half reminiscent of the Texas shooting syndrome (30 percent) left the Generals down 21-19 at the half, but Watkins and freshman starter Cam Dyer lit up the Eagles, shooting nearly 70 percent. Watkins chipped in 14 of his team- high 17 points in the second half and Dyer scored all 10 of his in the second frame. I - Do You Want VISA & Mastercar Credit Cards?

A 13-2 second half rim put away the Eagles, picked fourth in the ODAC. The Generals shot well (5 1 percent) making seven of 16 tliree-pointers and made 10 more free throws than Bridgewater. Connelly and Miggins threw irinine points each, as Miggins ripped nine rebounds. Rogers scored seven points in only 10 minutes. For his strong second half against Bridgewater and his pasting of Sewanee, Watkins was named ODAC Player of the Week. game 5 - yirginia Beaeh Miggins career-high 20 points and nine rebounds couldn't carry the Gen- erals to a win at Virginia Wesleyan, as only two Generals shot over 33 per- cent. This one was decided early as Vir- ginia Wesleyan blasted W&L 46-28 in the first half and rolled to an 84-68 win. Miggins made nine of 12 shots and pulled down five offensiverebounds in only 25 minutes of play. Senior Darren Johnson showed a glimpse of his talent, scoring eight points (4-7) in only nine minutes. Watkins had 12points anda season- high six assists, but missed 11 of his 14 shots. fl his Week After a rigorous road stint, the Gen- erals hope to continue their winning ways in the Warner Center during a three-garne ODAC home stand before finals.

Senior Bo Harmah and freshman Josephine Schaeffer traveled to Saratoga Springs,N.Y.,to end the 1992 cross country season. ForHannah,it was his secondtripto the championships and the final race in an excellent career. Hannah anchored the Generals this year, finishing first for W&L in every race. Hannah said this trip to Nationals was even more excitingtlianlast year’s. “It was exciting to make it last year,” Hannah said, “but this year was more exciting sincel am a senior andl knew it was my final race.” Even though Hannah finished in 56th-place, he ran his best time of the season, 25:52. “I finished higher last year, but the competition was tougher this year.” Hannah would be the main story of the championships for the W&L faith- ful, but like this entire season, Schaeffer stole the spotlight. Schaeffer became the first W&L woman to earn All-America honors, finishing 12th with a time of 18:27. Schaeffer has been the story for the cross country season since she won her first collegiate race back in September. Schaeffer said she was excited to make the championship meet. “I was very excited but I didn’t know what to expect,” Schaeffer said. “I was pleased with the way Iran, I felt comfortable the whole race.” ‘ ,_ After all Schaeffer has seen this year, she encountered something new in New York. Snow. “This was not my best raQe,”r Schaeffer said, “I had never rim in‘ snow before. I’ve definitely had better, ones.” While Hannah departs W&L for the‘-‘ great unknown of the “real world,” Schaeffer has three more years to im-I ggove on her already impressive nfim-v rs. Schaeffer does understand that with her success this year, the pressure will be on to do better next season. v ‘‘There’s definitely a lot of pressure to improve my times,” Schaeffer said. . “But I’m going to do whatever it tzflies A to improve.” 4 Swimmers continue strong performances in first half ' . By KEITH GRANT Phi Staff Writer 3 . . 9 A year ago, the men’s team went into Christmas break with a 2-2 mark. This year, even without Doug Brown, tli For a school that is said to be on “the Hill”, Washington and Lee has been doing quite well in the water. The men’s and women's swim teams are a combined 5- 0 after each earned a victory Wednesday night. The women won their second official meet of the season by out-pointing Sweet Briar 145-114, while the men’s team defeated VMI 123-82 to improve to 3-0. With two straight comfortable victories, the women swimmers are proving that eight is enough; eight, as in swimmers. Half of the small squad were multi-winners ‘ against Sweet Briar. Senior Claire Dudley and fresh- man Rebekah Prince were victors in three individual races apiece, while sophomores Susan Fisher and Brandi Henderson won two each. Dudley, the team captain, took the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke swim very well.” W&L. Pearson continued to dominate the 50-yard freestyle, finishing first with a time of 22.36 seconds. Sophomore Grant Holicky and freshmen Frank Braden and Justin Dardani contributed wins for ' team heads into vacation with a perfect 3-0 record. . Last month, the Generals beat a determined Mary Wash- ington squad, 120-82, with senior Andrew Pearson leading the way with two individual wins. , “We had respect for them going in,” head coach Page Remillard said. “They thought they were go- ing to win the meet.

Pn'nce’s time of 2:16.61 was faster than the winning time in last. year’s conference championship 200-yard back- stroke. Against Sweet Briar, the Texas native won the 100 and 200 backstroke, and the 100 butterfly. Prince and Dudley have claimed six races each in the first two competitions. Fisher helped the Generals with wins in the 800-yard Generals won handily. This year was no different. . The Generals fulfilled Remillard’s prediction and con- ' tinued to dominate the recent series between the two rival 9 schools. . The men now get to sit on their perfect mark until next ’ semester.
