TlQ;re were 31 people not voting and one write-in ballot for junior Andrew Schneider. Tompkins said his experience on the EC will _ smooth the transition to a new committee. “Because so much of what goes on is passed down, [having] that continuity will make our work ' much more consistent,” Tompkins said. Olunior Jimmy Kull beat second-year law stu- » dent James Rambeau 569 votes to 534 for the vice presidential spot. Six students cast write-in votes for junior Joe Ramseur and 76 did not vote. Kull, currently a junior EC representative, also cited experience as an asset to the next EC. “Last year there were only four of 13 members 4; with experience,” Kull said. “There was a lot of hesitiation during budget allocations and appoint- ments because we didn’t understand how the sys- tem worked. “Hopefully [we] will be able to use our experi- ence to guide EC members in these two processes,” Kull said. Junior EC Rep. Ashby Hackney defeated junior Maurice Cole and first-year law student William Toles with a total of 578 votes to become secretary. Toles received 364 votes and Cole got 202, with 41 students not voting. Hackney said he has confidence in next year’s president and vice president. ‘ “Bob’s really well spoken, and he listens well,” Hackney said. “[Jimmy] is really responsible.

LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA FEBRUARY 11, 1993 Students rally for prof By NIKKI MAGAZINER Phi Senior Copy Editor In the movie “Dead Poets Society,” stu- dents distraught over the firing of their favor- ite professor stood on their desks, exclaiming “O Captain! my Captain!” in protest. Last week, the Walt Whitman phrase ap- peared onposters along theColonnade. Wash- ington and Lee students were protesting the English department’s decision not to offer a tenure-track position to Instructor John Lynch. “I think that the main point [of the protest] is to show support for Professor Lynch, and to let [other students] be aware of what is going on,” sophomore English student Stacy Donovan said Feb. 4. Donovan was one of about 30 students who protested Friday by wearing black and sitting on the lawn in front of Payne Hall. Lynch said he was moved at the sight of the signs. “I was touched that students could think such things about me,” Lynch said. “It’s hard. I was in tears more than once while walking around campus.” Lynch, who was hired two years ago for a temporary, non—tenure track position, was a finalist in the search to fill a tenure-track post, Professor of English Edwin Craun said. But though a 10-member student commit- tee overwhelmingly preferred Lynch for the opening, the English faculty recommended another candidate. Craun said he would not release the iden- tity of the candidate because she has not yet responded to the job offer. For the past month, the English depart- ment has been narrowing the national search to fill a position vacated by Professor Sidney Coullin g two years ago. Craun said ‘W&L'ihired Lynch for a non- tenure track, two-year position after the first search for a tenure-track professor proved unsuccessful. ’ Craun said Lynch was hired with the un- derstanding that the tenure-track job would reopen this year. A tenure-track position is one where the insructor teaches for six years before being evaluated for tenure. Last fall, W&L begana new search. Craun said a four—member faculty search commit- tee narrowed down about 350 applicants to four, one of whom was Lynch. Craun said candidates were evaluated based on strength of writing, strength of teaching and the potential of the applicant to be an effective member of the university. He said these qualities are also the basis for tenure and salary evaluations. Craun said that because of recent state education funding cuts, the job market for English professors was exceptionally com- petitive this year. “We aim for the top people,” Craun said. “There was a backup of very strong candi- dates. [The department] had more trouble making decisions at every stage of the pro- cess than we have ever had before.” Lynch and the three other candidates were asked to come to campus to teach a class for the English department faculty and 10 se- lected students. Craun said the students were asked to observe each candidate’s teaching and sub- mit evaluations to help the faculty in their .

But when the English students found out that Lynch was not offered the position, the protests began. Some students said they were upset be- cause they thought the faculty ignored the opinions of the student committee. “Who are the better judges—the people who sit in their offices or the people who sit in classes?” freshman John Branam said. But Craun said that while teaching is the most important factor, there are other con- siderations in choosing a professor. Dean of the College John Elrod agreed that the faculty should have more weight in the decision than students. “W&L is a teaching institution,” Elrod said. “There is no one more acutely aware of this than the faculty. The faculty’s job is to perpetuate itself. They are driven by the same motivations as the students.” And one of the lessons students learned from Lynch was how to pursue what they believe in. “Part of what I teach is that students should think for themselves,” Lynch said. “[Students should] ask their own questions and take their education into their own hands.” Lynch said last week was an important educational situation for his students, be- cause they were compelled to ask the ques- tions they needed to ask. Students wrote letters to academic deans and English faculty members in tribute to Lynch’s unique teaching style. “Lynch epitomizes open-mindedness,” junior Kate Stimeling said. “He is diversity.” Though there were few students still wear- ing black on Monday, the signs and senti- ments of disappointment remained Elrod said the “O Captain! my Captain!” allusion to Dead Poets Society demonstrated how much the students cared, but said the comparison is not appropriate. “In the movie, the professor is leaving because the institution is behaving incor- rectly,” Elrod said. “I didn’t like that. W&L has behaved correctly.” - Elrod said that if the candidate who has been offered the job declines, the decision will be reconsidered by the English. depart- ment. But he said the opinions of protesters would not affect any reconsideration. “We have to stay on course,” Elrod said. “We have to do what we were going to do, as if the students hadn’t done what they did.” But the decision leaves Lynch deprived of what he calls “the shape of my whole life.” “I think that for me, in the end, teaching is my whole life,” he said. “What matters to me is that my teaching matters to my students.” to run By GREGORY PA1‘rERsoN Phi News Editor former location of Hunter and Huntress.

The Big Four results are in. The good news is that all the candidates this year were real people (Mickey Mouse didn’t campaign). The bad news is that many of the candidates might as well have been the same person. This year’s races were dominated by incumbents. There were only three challengers to six incumbents. The race for the two highest offices, Executive Committee president and vice presi- dent, included only current EC members. We can’t help but attribute the shortage of challengers to the early elections. We have said in this column before that the Student Body Constitution never intended that elections be held before February break, and by deviating from that wise intent, the EC might have limited the race. The contest for president was particularly disappointing. We would never endorse a knockdown-dragout debate in which candidates attack one another’s sexual histories. But maybe a little disagreement? Tompkins and Hutton would do nothing but en- dorse one another. For voters, it was like choosing between Channin and White Cloud. You could only tell the difference by squeezing. . But students must accept some of the blame for this year’s quie race. The turnout of less than 1,200 would be impressive for a developing country where the people have to take boats to the polling places, but for our small, intellectual community nestled among Virginia’s mountains, 1,200 is pathetic.

Voters voted for access, by picking up the phone, turning on theirradios and TVs and, in some cases, talking directly to the candidates.” Dole, himself a grandmaster of the sarcastic sound-off, pointed out that not everybody likes what they hear out there. The backers of Bill Clinton cheered, he said, when the Democratic I candidate successfully used programs like “Larry King Live” to win the elec- tion. Now, when the radio waves reso- nate with a nastier attitude toward their man, Clintonophiles take a different view of call-in. Last year, talk radio and television represented a “hi gh-tech breakthrough.” This year, the airwaves’ action over gays in the military is dis- missed as “a bunch of radio windbags rallying an audience of kooks.” Fair enough. But there’s a differ- ence between using radio and TV call- in programs to communicate with the people, even as a sounding board. It’s another to think that those calling in constitute a random sample of Ameri- can opinion. ACNN-Gallup poll asked people if they approve of ending the ban on gays in-the service. Forty-three percent said they did,»5O percent said- they didn't. ANewsweek poll showed the public tilting the other way: 53 percent said homosexuals should be able to serve, 42 percent said they shouldn't. Does this closeness of opinion reg- ister in the raging call-in lines? I doubt ll. Still, the power of this new, elec- tronic Third House of Congress is pro- viding a helpful reality check for the older two. up _ Case in point: Zoe Baird’s nomina- tion to be the country’s chief law en- forcement official was a sure pre—inau— gural bet.

The Ring-tum Phi Post Office Box 899 Lexington, Virginia 24450 WASHINGTON — In his first radio address from the Oval Office, President Clinton said that “for the last 12 years our leaders haven’t completely leveled with us.” Make that 13. Clinton and his team, who used the transition to repudiate or blur campaign premises, have used their become a promise that the tax increase on the middle class will come after the increase on the wealthy. Sympathetic news reports say Clinton has “dis- covered” that there are not enough wealthy people to pay the govemment’s expenses. Time out.

In Washington Post journalists have de- his confirmation hearing as director Writers Group scribed? If he is just discovering that the Management and Budget, Leon Panetta endorsed a deficit reduction ratio of two-thirds spending cuts to one-third tax increases. “Unrealistic” is now the word from Panctta’s former Democratic colleagues in Congress. A realistic guess may be that the ratio of tax dollars raised by tax increases to dollars cut from spending will be at least 10 to one. A pitched battle, we are told, rages within the administration between two factions, one wanting tax increases to cut the deficit, the other wanting spending to stimulate the economy. The predictable compromise will be: Taxes up, spending up, the deficit up. The economy is growing; unemployment, which never got as high in the recent recession as in many others, is falling; productivity growth in 1992 was at _ a 20-year high; and there is the stimulus of a $320 billion deficit. Yet the administration wants another $31 billion stimulus for the $6 trillion economy. Why? That is what “New Democrats,” like old ones, do: They try to micromanage an economy moved by billions of private decisions daily. The promise of a rniddle-class tax cut has been supplanted by a search for slightly disguised ways of raising taxes on the middle class, as with an energy tax. Clinton says: “Before Iask working Americans to work harder and pay more, I will ask the economic elite . . .” The operative word is “before.” The campaign promise of a middle—class tax cut has middle class has most of the money in America, a reassessment of him is called for. hotly controversial, will be a party document from the start. Not smart. The loudly trumpeted first fruit of Democratic’ hegemony over both political branches of the gov- emment is the Family and Medical Leave Act.

It must have a depressing effect on job creation (especially the hiring of young women). Firms covered by the ac? must pay the full health insurance costs of on-leave workers, as well as the costs of any temporary replacement workers hired until the regular workers return from leave (up to 12 weeks annually, which can be taken intermittently). And this act probably is just the thin edge of an Another reputation that has risen high without much ballastofevidenee may have to be revised.

Rather, it is causing students to respond to literature and help them discover what they themselves think. It is just such teaching which will be lost with the pass- ‘ ing of John Lynch from the face of Washington and Lee University. Ihave known the teaching of this man for the shckt period of six weeks. But in that time I have come to experience stimulating work in its finest hour. It is, as I have said, teaching which causes students to respond to literature so that. they might form their own opinions and ideas as they read. In our Victorian Thought class we have had wonderful discussions and arguments. Wpdo not sit as machines and transcribe words to a page in a process devoid of creative thought and imagination. In this class we can come together and be human talking about how we feel and what we see. This is an experience which I appreciate fully with every class and will value far beyond my days at W&L. ‘As well, let me say that I have come to know few teachers whose loyalty and allegiance to his students is so visible. Both in word and deed John Lynch has made clear that above all things he is here for the students. It has been said that: 2 Washington and Lee is a,‘.‘teaching institution” — whosetmission focuses on the students.’ It is I mqde clear in the Mission Statement: “The- University recognizes teaching as its central 1 function. It believes that the personal associa- ’ Bob Dunlap and his concessions staff, and finally to the spectators who came out in droves to show their tion of its students with a highly qualified and motivated faculty holds the greatest promiseof inspiring in them a respect and thirst for knowl- edge that will continue throughout their lives.” If such things be so, then I can think of no better place for John Lynch. However, we have found out that Professor Lynch will be leaving us at the end of this year due to circumstances beyond his, or our, con- trol. I am sorry for this. But I do not feel so sorry for myself as I do for the classes of students to come, who will not have the oppor- tunity to experience his teaching. However, lcnowing of this loss has made it a difficult time for the many students who have come to know Professor Lynch. The words of William Wordsworth might be welcomed in the day when we look back upon our days with Lynch: “Though nothing can bring back the hour / Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower; / We will grieve not, rather find / Strength in what remains behind; /In the primal sympathy / Which having been must ever be; / In the soothing thoughts that spring / Out of human suffering ” Dr. Sidney Coulling, one of the great teach- ers of this university, chose John Lynch for a reason. Because, like himself, he is above all .things..I..;a.teacher. ’ Respectfully, Robert H. Wilson, ’93 ACLU raises questions To the Editor: I was bemused to read in “Civil Liberties,” the national newsletter of the ACLU, that the student government of Wash- ington & Lee had “distinguished” itself by refusing to fund a campus chapter of the ACLU on the grounds of it being “too controversial.” If I recall correctly, the student government has the discretion to fund or not to fund campus organizations from moneys involuntarily conscripted from the student body as activities fees. As aproud member of the Virginia ACLU and former director thereof, I must say I don’t know quite how to feel about the matter. On one hand, it is par for the course if the ACLU fails to receive subsidy from any “govemment,” and that is probably for the best. “Govemment” subsidy of the ACLU seems an oxymo- ron. On the other hand, I am thankful that my tenure at W&L Law School in the early '70s opened my eyes andgenabled me to see beyond the end of my ignorant, sheltered, privileged nose to comprehend how our society and its privileged “mainstream” few (the dominant culture represented at'W&L) have systemati- cally and continually deprived the iconoclasts, the different and the other “wogs” of this planet of their civil liberties, with nary a thought about the ultimate jeopardy to their own civil liberties thereby. If the ACLU is “too controversial” for W&L student govem- ment, that is not the ACLU’s problem. It will get whatever money itneeds from other sources, to be sure; perhaps from some of us “controversial” alumni (in lieu of the Annual Fund). _ t _The, more important question is, how is _th_e_, privileged, yet. 8 pathetic hierarchy of the,W&L student body going to get enlight- enment? H. Watkins _Ellerson, ’73L SAMS advisor, EC comment on Lip Synch To the Editor: «Sincere appreciation and thanks are extended to all who participated in the 1993 Lip Synch Contest; ham and John, and the poster girls.

Jvlost importantly, kudos go to Ashley Myler, Elise Hagensen, Beth Provanzana and Talley Woolley. These young women worked diligently, beginning last spring, in planning this year’s event, our most successful to date. We surpassed our financial goal _ with $4300 in gross proceeds. Revenue after ex- pegses will be donated to the National Multiple SAMS chairperson and her committee: Sclerosis Society and this year, for the first time, shared with the Rockbridge Area Relief Association (RARA) . In response to the article appearing in the Jan. 28 issue of The Ring-tum Phi: yes, there were isolated incidents of student misconduct and yes, it was unfortunate that some students chose to look for ways to gain access to the Pavilion without paying admission. However, these incidents paled in com- parison to the 95 percent of student spectators and volunteers who conducted themselves in the “true spirit of W&L.” The event was a complete success: the committee accomplished all of its goals, most everyone had a great time and W&L students made a generous contribution to two worthwhile charities. Plans for next year’s Lip Synch are already underway to correct any deficiencies that may have occurred student life.” The sucess of the Lip Synch contest is marred by the fact that literally hundreds of people chose to enter without paying. Whether through willful ignorance or outright deceit, taking advan- tage of relaxed security at such an event is wrong. Our community of trust contemplates an environ- ment, academic and social, where no unnecessary rules exist. Let us not jeopardize this privilege by such thoughtless acts.

But Dean of Admissions William Hartog, one of six panel members, said there is a genuine concern that parts of the admissions process are unfair. “When the Board of Trustees de- cided on coeducation, the one topic on which they all agreed was that the transition to co-education should oc- cur slowly,” Hartog said. “Now that we’re eight years removed, there is a is not fair. Men compete against men and women compete against women [in the admissions process].” Hartog said the male-to-female ra- tio is probably close to 62-38. He called the ratio a “very, very, sensitive topic, one that we speak about on adaily level in the admissions office. There is no doubt that sex-blind admission would make for a stronger class.” Hartog said that if the present class had been admitted on the basis of a gender blind policy, the ratio would be 50-50. being a minority.” The reasons cited for the 60-40 ratio included the impact of a decreased number of men on the athletic program and on the fraternity system The panel also addressed. the need for more minorities in the student body.

Ram beau said that every black alum- nus who he contacted about coming back to W&L had a negative reaction. Rambeau said that it is important to get minority students to become inter- ested in W&L. He said he has noticed a significant difference in the white students admitted in recent years. “They tend to be more open- minded,” he said. “We must change from within by bringing in more di- verse white students.” ‘Foreign Student’ gets go—ahead in From MOVIE, page 1 the Colonnade, Evans Dining Hall, the old Doremus Pool and dorm exteriors. The rest of the film will be shot elsewhere in Virginia, possibly in Richmond, Shaw said. The movie is based on Phillipe Labro’s semi-autobio- graphical novel based on his experience as an exchange student at W&L during the 1950s. Eva Sereny will direct the movie, which will be in English. Marco Hofschneider (“Europa, Europa”) will play the lead role, and Robin Givens (“Boomerang”) will play a black woman with whom he has an affair. In December, film crews came to Lexington to scout possible shooting sites. Shaw said he escorted them around campus and to nearby sites, including Zollman’s Pavilion. If the production company decides to film here, Labro himself might come to W&L, Professor of Journalism John Jennings said. “I don’t know if he’ll be here,” Jennings said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he did come.” Shaw said that Labro’s schedule would be the deciding factor. “I talked to him a couple of days ago, and he indicated that he’d like to [come], but he’s very busy,” Shaw said. Shaw said Labro has not contributed to the writing of the screenplay but does support it. Shaw said that, since Labro has directed several films, the author might be interested in the filming from a director’s standpoint. Shaw said he contacts the Virginia Film Office almost daily and hopes to have a definite answer soon. The movie will be distributed by Universal Studios and will probably be released this fall or near Christmas, Shaw said.
