At Monday’s EC meeting, EC President Josh MacFarland de- scribed the VRB as “being slow and Spring Term-like” in per- forming their duties. . VRB President John Refo at- trfimtes the VRB ’s slow pace to a delay in delivery of ballots from the law schoolballot boxes. Refo said rather than counting the un- dergraduate and law school votes separately, the VRB “wanted to count all of them at the same t1 6." The undergraduates voted on the constitutionl referendum March 22. Student Bar Associa- tion President Amy Balfour said she turned in the votes to the EC office on time.Balfour said she t ed the votes in on the Sunday 0 Monday after the undergradu- ate spring break. MacFarland said the VRB is not required to turn in their vote count by a specific day. He said the deadline was “sort of nebu- lo s.” “I am 99 percent sure they will be here next week,” said MacFarland at Monday’s EC meeting. WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY A Sight Few Have Seen Photo By Fran Kefalas, The Ring-tum Phi Many W&L students complain about never seeing the horses at Foxfield. But the few lucky students that did were treated to an afternoon of good racing in addition to taking in the warm weather and enjoying the tailgating parties. Gates, Strossen to debate By MIC]-IAEL HEWLETI Phi Staff Writer Exactly one year after the Los Angeles riots, former Los An geles Chief of Police Darrryl Gates and National President of the American Civil Liberties Union Nadine Strossen will debate at Washington and Lee Thursday. The American Civil Liberties Union, Black Law Student Association, and the Federalist are sponsoring the debate which will be held at 8 p.m. in Lee Chapel. Gates and Strossen were chosen to debate at W&L because of their distinct views. “Each brings starkly different perspectives to the issues of law and order, the causes that led to the Los Angeles riots, and the way the Los Angeles riots were handled,” said Andrew Schneider, presi- dent of W&L’s ACLU chapter. Schneider had a particular reason in mind when he chose Gates for the debate. “The purpose of bringing Darryl Gates was to attract a large portion of the school that is ultra- conservative to be exposed to the viewpoint of the ACLU,” said Schneider. Freshman Caroline Connolly agrees. “I think that having the ACLU president here will give students a different perspective that they might not normally be accustomed to,” said Connolly, “but personally I haven‘t seen Darryl Gates, tell the truth, yet so I don’t see why he would change his story now.” President of the Black Law Student Association Laura Anderson said the debate is important. ‘‘I think it’s important ifa group has the oppor- tunity to bring all kinds of speakers regardless of their political affiliation or stances on various issues for the discourse,” said Anderson. Schneider still hopes that the debate will raise consciousness on the campus. “To see a debate like this with a high profile figure in last year’s riots will hopefully make people care about the problems of racism and the problems of police brutality in our nation ’s cities,” he said. ‘Assaults scare UVa. LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA April 29, 1993 IFC fine tunes Fall rush rules By ANDRFA COBRIN AND MELISSA CURTIS of The Ring-tum Phi staff Washington and Lee’s Interfraternity Council voted unanimously Wednesday to adopt a new rush plan for fall 1993. The plan includes: pushing the start of rush back a week, extending casual contact to in- clude Freshmen Orientation ‘week, 16 mandatory open houses and a nish advisor system. IFC president Curt Smith said the new plan will be easier on the freshmen going through rush. “The main things were that we wanted to make it easier on freshmen when they first come in,” Smith said. “[The new plan] will give them more time to get used to the school before they jump into rush.” IFC must vote two times to change their constitution. Smith said they voted on the proposal in pieces last semester before vot- ing on the entire plan Wednes- day. Smith said that the new plan removes some of the ambiguity from rush violations. He said most of the problems last year were associated with the period before rush actually began. By extending casual contact on the hill and around town, there will be fewer opportunities for that to happen. “It’s hard to ask upperclass- men, regardless of whether they’re in a fraternity, to not talk to freshmen in a social setting when the freshmen are trying to become acclamated to the school,” said Smith. Fines for rush violations will be $1500 for the first violation, $2000 and two weeks of social probation for the second viola- tion and $2500 and a semester of social probation for the third vio- lation. The new plan also requires freshmen to go to open house at all 16 fraternities. “This way we’ll make sure every fraternity gets a fair look,” Smith said. The IFC will help enforce this policy with the help of rush advisors. Each hall of fresh- men men will be as- signed to a rush ad- visor who will es- cort them to the open houses and meet with them once a week. The advisers will not be allowed to discuss theirhouse with the fresh- men, but they will be allowed to attend rush parties. In order to keep the fraternities accountable, freshmen will be required to sign in at parties and check out when they leave. Part of the original rush pro- posal that was abandoned last semester was the idea of a cap on the size of the pledge classes. Smith said he thinks thenew rush plan will help alleviate the prob- lem of uneven numbers in pledge classes. Smith said a main cause of the problem was that both freshmen and upperelassmen felt rushed into making a decision. Leroy C. “Buddy ”Atkins, Movie causes campus Associate Dean of Students for Greek Affairs, said he thinks the fraternities need to decide what is a proper pledge class size and work toward more “interfratemal spirit so everybody survives and does well.” “There is a big fear among the students that we'll have a homo- geneous fraternity system,” Atkins said. “When there ends up being chapters with 80 guys or more, that’s when you lose the diversity.” A n o t h e r change for the fra- ternities next year will start when rush is over. All freshmen may only participate in “chapter activi- ties” and not “pledge activites” for the Fall term. F r e s h m a n ‘ pledges may at- tend a chapter meeting, not a pledge meeting; they may help with house cleanp-ups on Satur- day and Sunday mornings as long as there is an equal number of upperelassmen participating; and they may only sober drive once a month. Dean of Students David Howison said that if the new rush plan does not run as expected next fall, faculty members will present a winter rush proposal to the Student Affairs Committee. Atkins thinks the new rush plan is a start in the right direc- tion. “If the fratemitfes abide by their own rules I think it will work out well,” he said. chaos Police caution a ' BY DAVID WALL of The UVa. Cavalier Daily News The man who may have raped two Uni- versity of Virginia students last weekend may have committed another sexual assault Monday night, University Police officials ‘said. The attacker described by the victim of the third assault, which occurred on Whitehead‘ Road outside the Chemistry Building, is similarto those described by the victims of the two weekend rapes. Police are “not ruling out” a connection among the ‘three crimes, University Police Investigator Cassandra Carter said. The similaritiesramong the three crimes are “puzzling,” Carter said. “The descrip- tions [of the attackers] are similar.” Despite the similarities, the Charlottesville and University Police De- partments have no suspects, University Police Lt. Steve Shifflette said. According to Charlottesville PoIiceDet.Randy Higgins, the suspect may no longer be in Charlottesville. “We’re not exactly sure where he is,” Higgins said. “We‘re still looking but it may not be a local person.” A university student was tackled from behind in the assault Monday night and fondled, according to a University ‘Police report. The attacker fled when two other people approached, the report said. The stu- dent was not injured, the report states. “Becauseaknife was notinvolved [Mon- ' day night], it might indicate that the same people were not involved” in the three crimes, rea campuses Carter said. Both the weekend rapes involved the victims being taken to secluded areas at. knifepoint. The Charlottesville and University Po- ,lice Departments are conducting a joint investigation of the weekend rapes, Shifflette said. The men who committed the rapes dur- ing the weekend were both described by the victims as heavy—set black men, about 5- foot-9, with beards and square glasses, a Charlottesville Police spokesman said. The victim of the Monday night assault described her attacker as a black man in his early 205, over six feet tall and without facial hair, Shifflette said. The assault occurred just before l():30 p.m., when the victim was walking alone and heard someone running toward her from behind, according to the report. . She ran to escape her assailant, but was caught from behind and thrown to the ground, the report stated. “I do not know what he intended to do, and neither does’-3 the victim, Carter said. Higgins urged all women at local cam- puses to be more “aware of where they are going at night, especially alone.” A com- posite of the attacker(s) will be available Friday afternoon. Higgins requested that students who were in Charlottesville the weekend of April 23 and have any information about the attacks call him at 804-971-3293.

EC cancels White Book retreat BY TIIoMAs HESPOS By MICIIEAL HEv{t;E'rr Phi Staff Writer Familiar faces at Washington and Lee will be coming to the big screen soon. Beginning Monday, May 3 and running through Wednesday, May 5, scenes for the film, The Foreign Student, will be shot on the W&L campus. The film is based Oil the serni-autobiographi- cal book by Phillipe Labro. Labro was a foreign exchange student from France who attended W&L during the 1950s. Marco Hoffschneider will play Phillipe in the movie. A casting call for extras was held March 10 p in the Arlington Women’s Center in the Univer- sity Center. Several W&L students were called back to Richmond to try out for speaking roles in the film. Sophomore Brian McClung, with his bright red hair, secured a speaking role in the movie. McClung said that 12 students tried out for his role and he and four other students were called back to Richmond. McClungpoItrays amember of adisclipinary committee who is hearing a case on Labro. In the movie, Labro violates the speaking tradition by not smiling when he says hello. McClung said that nothing distinguished him from the other students who tried out for the part. “It’s a total fluke,” said McClung. “It was just 1uck.” Juniors Holley Proctor and Jennifer Ray were cast as southern belles. Proctor said she and Ray will sit in the dorm halls and fawn over Phillipe and two of his friends. Proctor said the three men are considered “gods” at the school and that every girl desires to be seen with them. Seniors Matt Jennings and Tom Hooper also landed speaking roles in the film. Jennings plays a senior at the school who tells Phillipe that the Advisory Committee needs to speak with him, while Hooper plays a varsity , letterman who rides his bicycle past Phillipe and calls him “Frenchy.” Senior Doug Lamb does not have a speaking role in the movie, but does have a large role. He is Hoffschneider’s body double in the film. Lamb stands in for Hoffschneider while scenes are being set up and will also appear in some of the football scenes in the movie. Freshman Richard Weaver is one of the many extras who were cast in the film. “I never throught I would have the chance to be in a movie in such a small place as Lexing- ton,” he said FRoM STAFF REPORTS When Hollywood invades Washington and Lee next week to film The Foreign Student, it will bring a little commotion to the campus. Cathargo Films, who is producing the movie, will require extra parking, the removal of bi- cycles from the Graham—Lees quad and the silencing of the Lee Chapel bells for the film- mg. Sophomore Chris Albert, who is working for the Locations Departmentof Cathargo said Washington Street from Lee Avenue to Nelson Street will be closed to all through traffic. Additionally, all parking on Washington Street will be reserved for the film crew. ‘ Albert said several other areas on campus will be blocked off during the filming, includ- ing the upper corral and certain spots by the gym and the Commerce School. Students will be able to park in the lower corral lot, or in the upper and lower parking lots behind the gym. The bicycle racks in the Graham—Lees quad will be removed so the film will be historically accurate. The bikes currently in the racks must be moved to another location by Friday mom- in g. Albert said no bicycles should be tethered to the railings in the quad on the days of the filming. Bikes can be moved back Thursady May 6. Cathargo may also have to enter a few student rooms to close windows or shades. Any crew members that enter a student room will be accompanied by a Washington & Lee security guard. Students will be asked to re- frain from making any noise during the actual filming. If it rains the schedule will probably change, Albert said. XQ KAE-) KKI‘ Indep. W. Winter Term Report Card Pm STAFF WRITER .. At its April 19 regular meeting, the Executive Committee voted to cancel its retreat to discuss White Book is- sues. “It’s simply not feasible this year,” said EC President Josh MacFarland. The EC voted in late January to d‘ cuss controversial Honor System issues in a closed executive session at Skylark, a university-owned confer- ence center. _ The Student Body Constitution states that the EC “shall not go into executive session except in the case of p ssible honor violations.” “The purpose of the Skylark thing was so that we could take a look at the issues... and pass something on to [next year’s EC,]” said MacFarland. The Skylark retreat was originally scheduled for March 13, but was can- celled because of the blizzard that be- gan March 12. MacFarland brought up the Skylark retreat at the April 19 meeting of the EC and found that its members could not find a suitable time for the retreat that all EC reps could attend. Instead, said MacFarland, the bur- den of reviewing the Honor System will fall on next year’s committee. The EC passed a process for amend- ing the White Book in late February, which calls for a complete review of the Honor System every three years, beginning next academic year. EC Advocate Dan Munroe, a third- year law student, said he has faith that next year’s EC will review the honor system completely. “I hope they do follow through with it,” he said. “I think that they will. Bob Thompkins is really competent.” Munroe said he feels there are sev- eral issues raised by the Honor System that need attention. He said an honor trial differs from a court trial because advocates are not allowed to talk to the EC’s witnesses. Munroe said he feelsitis“extremely unfair” that students who appeal art EC decision are penalized if found guilty a second time. “That should be done away with,” he said. According to the EC ’s current pro- cedure for amending the White Book, a review committee will be appointed by the EC every three years. The committee will be composed of eight members and one chairman. No mem- ber of the review committee may be a member ofthe EC. The committee will report to the EC periodically on the W&L comnIuIIity’s opinions of the Honor System and will submitpropos- als for changes to the White Book by March I. MacFarland said next year’s review will be conducted in open meetings, and not in executive session. “Everything will be all open,” he said.

Last week we ran a story about thefts in the Law School Library. Executive Committee reps. Jay Sterne and Kevin Webb have told the Phi that the thefts are getting worse. Students have had wallets and other valuable items stolen. Apparently, many thefts have occurred in the middle of the day, a time when most law students would notice a stranger. Security believes the thefts at night are being committed by a townsperson. But now these thefts are being committedin broad daylight. It's hard to ignore the fact that the thief may quite possibly be a W&L student. The first thought that comes to your mind might be, “it’s not possible, we have a strong tradition of honor here."The sad, but very true fact is that most of the world does not live under a system of honor, nor do they have a clue of what the word honor means. But will they play by the rules? The IFC and SAC recently reached an agreement for next fall’s fraternity rush. The proposal essentially gives freshman males more time to make up their minds and greater opportunities to see the different houses. The proposal also defines exactly what the IFC and SAC mean by delayed pledgeship. On paper it seems like a good proposal. Freshman still get rush out of their way early, and they will also have time to get settled before becoming pledges. Fraternities have repeatedly ignored the IFC rules when it comes to rush. The big question is will they start following the rules now? Good luck IFC, we hope you don’t need it and everyone cooperates. - If you must drink... Another Foxfield has come and gone.

Blake Comer, a former W&L student is sitting in Rockbridge County Jail, at this very moment, for killing Mary Ashley Scarborough in a hit and run that was the result of driving under the influence. Scarborough was just a freshman here when she died in March of 1989. No one here ever wants to deal with that kind of tragedy again. So, please before you drink a drop of alcohol think about how you’re getting home. We hope that you will keep one more thing in mind when you’re drinking this term. Everyone with two eyes and a brain can see that as a campus we begin drinking more spring term. We're not about to tell you not to drink alcohol. If you want to drink, that’s what you’re going to do. But, be careful with how much you are drinking. Spring term is a time every W&L student looks forward to, but it’s also an easy time to get caught up in drinking. A lot of us go out and party every single chance we get spring term, which can be four or five times a week. If you ’ re getting drunk fouror five times a week you’re eventually going to find yourself in a bad spot. So please, be careful when you’re partying with alcohol.

(W rt - * /5, i; FRIENDLY boo; ‘" ’:%S’ O 9 Political correc WASHINGTON — An institution, we are told, is the lengthening shadow of a man. If so, official mischief at the University of Pennsylvania is of more than merely parochial interest because Penn’s presi- dent, Sheldon Hackney, is President Clinton’s nomi- nee to head the National Endowment for the Humani- ties. So consider the cases of Gregory Pavlik and Eden J acobowitz. Pavlik is one of many col- umnists for the student news- paper, The Daily Pennsylva- .4‘-:"' of the First Amendment was: “Taking newspapers is wrong.” But also: “I recognize that the concerns of members of Penn’s minority community that gave rise to last week’s protests are serious and legiti- mate.” What “concerns” are “legitimate?” Concerns that right-wing opinion is being published? The university will investigate whether - yes, whether — the trashing of the paper violated freedom i of expression. The sever- ity of this investigation can be gauged by an official’s nian.Robustlyright-wing, he iscomprehensivelyoffensive to the politically correct. He denouces Martin Luther King, racial preferences, and much else. He is often ex- treme and heavy-handed, which is to say he is squarely in the tradition of undergradu- ate journalism. And he is the reason why, two weeks ago, some black students met delivery trucks early in the mom- ing, serized almost 14,000 copies of the paper, and dumped them in trash bins. The trashers offered this defense: “Not only are the papers free, but there exists no explicit restriction on the number of papers that any given student may remove.” President Hackney’s mincing description of this assault on press freedom: papers “were removed from their regular distribution points.” Hackney’s first statement was of regret that “two important university values, diversity and open ex- pression, seem to be in conflict.” A remarkable statement. It is clearly craven, yet has no clear mean- ing. (Does the “diversity” value mean that some groups but not all groups that are part of the university’s diversity have a right not to be an- noyed?) A few days laterHackney’s even limper defense (}EORGEVVHJ. Washington Post Writers Group statement that the univer- sity will take into account the fact that those who sup- pressed the newspaper “did not see their protest in the context of its being an infringement of free speech.” Hackney's credentials as a defender of free speech are academically ortho- dox. He defends federal subsidies for Robert Mapplethorpe’s homoerotic exhibits and says disap- proving things about Sen. Jesse Helms, thoughts not perilous on campus. He is a First Amendment funda- mentalist, but with a selectivity that suggests politi- cal calculation.

According to an annual study conducted jointly by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research, 90 percentof all high school seniors have tried alcohol despite the fact that it is illegal for them to purchase it. 1n the United States alone there are between eight and 12 million alcoholics. More than a million of these alcoholics are thou ht to be college-aged. The NIDA/ISR study shows that 41 percent o all college students report that they engage in occasions of heavy drinking at least once every two weeks. The study defines heavy drinking as five or more drinks in a row on a single occasion. The 41 percent figure is the highest of any group studied, ranging from high school students to adults past college and peers the same age who aren’t enrolled in school. College students report a daily drinking rate of almost 4 percent, which is slightly lower than their peers who are not in college, (about 5 percent) which suggests that college students tend to limit their drinking to weekends, during which they drink the most. College men report having five or more drinks in the previous four weeks at a higher rate than women — 50 percent compared to 34 percent. But according to national figures, approximately one in three alcoholics is a woman, compared to the one in six estimate used during the 19605. All of these statistics reinforce that many people’s drinking problems and behaviors begin in college. But how can you tell the difference between a problem drinker, a possible alcoholic and a social drinker when alcohol flows so freely on campuses? One modem—day definition of an alcoholic is anyone who uses alcohol to such an extent that it interferes with his or her personal, social or occupational behavior. Other definitions of the term “alcoholic” focus on the medical and physical symptoms of alcohol abuse. According to Kenneth Kopf, a drug and alcohol consultant at Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania, a person can ask several questions about a friend’s behavior that can help identify a possible problem with alcohol. The questions include the following: V Is the person drinking outside the “norm” for his or her peer group? V Is a senior or graduate student still drinking like a freshman‘? V Is a freshman drinking more than those around him or her? V Is the person suffering consequences as a result of his or her drinking — has he or she been involved in the school’s disciplinary system or arrested for drinking or drinking-related behavior? V Has he or she lost friends because of drinking? V Has his or her drinking interfered with academics? V Does he or she frequently embarass him or herself because of alcohol‘? V Do his or her behaviors form a pattern of negative behaviors? V The two most important questions are questions you can ask your friend directly — Have you ever been concerned or worried about you drinking‘? Has anyone close to you ever expressed concern about your drinking‘? If the answer to any of the above questions is yes and you believe you or a friend might have a drinking problem, Kopf says you can take appropriate action: The most important step is to tell your friend you think he or she has a problem. Give them specific examples of their behavior that have led to your conclusion. If the problem persists, educate yourself about alcoholism. Kopf notes that people tend to educate themselves about other diseases from which friends and family members suffer and alcoholism is no different. The more you understand about the disease the better prepared you are to help a friend with an alcohol problem. Because some alternative definitions of alcoholism involve medical and physical indicators, to further help spot a person with an alcohol problem a basic Hart MEANS IOWRICES understanding of the drug and its effects is helpful. Psychologically speaking, alcohol elicits different responses from different people. Some individuals become more violent and aggressive, while some are considered “happy drunks.” All of the behavior alterations alcohol causes are a result of alcohol effect on the brain. Studies have shown that alcohol enlarges the ventricles and empty spaces found between folds in brain tissue. This effect is related to how much a person drinks. The result of this en~ largement is less blood flow to the brain and pos- According to professionals who treat alcoholics, the withdrawal process an alcoholic endures is SibiY10\{Vrerl::\'elsdofoxy- more severe and more likely to C , .. .. . §e:,03:]. ‘en 5 ‘m W“ 6 cause death than withdrawal from Changes in a person’s a narcotic drug such as heroin. behavior result from alcohol’s ability to sup- press behavioral inhibitors which generally means that people feel less afraid and anxious. Critical thinking and judgment are suppressed as well. Physiologically, alcohol dilates the blood vessels near the skin surface allowing body heat to escape, this gives the drinker the feeling of warmth despite the fact that the body is actually cooling intemally. Alcohol is absorbed rather than digested. Plain water will slow the absorption of alcohol by diluting it while carbonated drinks like soda speed the absorption process. Food also slows the absorption process. Basically, all of the effects of alcohol are heightened in higher concentrations of alcohol in the blood (commonly called a person’s blood alcohol level — legally, most states consider a person to be drunk if they have a blood alcohol level of .10 or higher). Some physical indications of alcoholism include the swelling of capillarifis around the conjunctive of the eyes, resulting in puffiness in the face, forehead, and underneath the eyes. Sometimes, in fair—skinned individuals, the alcoholic’s skin might appear continually flushed. Frequent hoarseness also can occur because of an accumulation offluid in the mucous membranes in the nose, pharynx, larynx, and vocal chords. .Alcoholics also tend to feel nauseous and lose their appetites from an inflammation of the lining of the stomach. ‘ Withdrawal symptoms include tremors (the most common and the most persistent), anxiety, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, as well as “feelings of unreal- ity,” delusions, hallucinations, disorientation and possibly seizures, depending on how long and how severely a person abused the drug. According to professionals who treat alcoholics, the withdrawal process an alcoholic endures is more severe and more likely to cause death than withdrawal from a narcotic drug such as heroin. This, obviously, is the reason so many experts stress prevention. As mentioned earlier, men tend to become alcoholics more than women. But, more significantly, researchers have found that genetics plays a strong role in predisposition to alcoholism. A person with a parent who was or is an alcoholic have a higher incidence of alcoholism, especially at a younger age. Some studies show that of the approximate eight million men who are alcoholics, 40 percent have a genetic predisposition toward alcoholism. The genetic link also exists in women. Research suggests that anyone with any family history of alcoholism should carefully monitor his or her drinking behaviors. Scientists are still researching the genetic link. Ifa person admits or suspects he or she has an alcohol problem, the best step is to seek professional help from a family physician, the National Council on Alcoholism, Alcoholics Anonymous, Dean Schroer-Lamont, Counseling P53- chologist, and Dr. James Worth, University Counseling Psychologist.

Though three players of the top eight are study.- ing overseas spring term, the team won its third straight Old Dominion Athletic Conference title handily this weekend. W&L claimed charnpion- ships in every spot but No. 6 singles and No. 3 young team; only one player, Baker, has had any championship experience. “We’ve exceeded our goal,” she said. ‘ Baker is virtually a shoe-in to get a bid to the National tournament, and she and Ayers hope to go as a doubles team. Though the squad’s only Divi- sion lll losses were to the first- and fifth-ranked teams in the nation (and W&L beat 12th-ranked Swarthmorc), the Generals cannot receive an auto- matic team bid because the regional tournament, which qualifies two teams, is during exam period.

A member of the Washington and Lee club softball team lofts a single during yesterday's doubleheader. The Lady Generals are 4-2 on the season after games against Hollins and Southern Virginia College for Women. SPORTS NOTEBOOK The Liberty Hall Field will host this weekend’s Old Domin- ion Athletic Conference Women ’s Lacrosse Tournament, thanks to Washington & Lee’s 10—9 overtime win at Roanoke College on Sunday. The Generals (12-2 overall, 8-0 in the ODAC) won their first ever regular—season ODAC title in a rematch of last year’s touma- ment championship game. Se- nior Paige Henke scored 25 sec- onds into the first overtime for the one-goal victory margin. Senior Lisa Dowling scored four times to lift her single-sea- son school record to 74. She is two points shy of 100 for the season. Junior Angie Carrington netted three goals, including the game-tying score with 1:15 re- maining in regulation time. Carrington is second to Dowling in goals for W&L with 37, ahead of Henke (31), sopho- more Nicole Ripken (30), and sophomore Lindsay Coleman (29). The Generals have scored 222 goals in 14 games and their average victory is 16-7. The Generals host Randolph- Macon College, who beat Bridgewater in a quarterfinal, Friday at 4:00 p.m. on the Lib- erty Hall Fields. Earlier this sea- son, the Generals beat R-MC 18- 5 in a game in which Dowling scored seven goals and added five assists. In the other semi-final game, Roanoke will play Lynchburg College at 1:30. The championship game is scheduled for Saturday at 2:00 p.m. The Washington and Lee baseball sqaud rode out the sea- son on a 12 game slide to finish 1993 at 4-15 overall, 3-13 in the Old Dominion Athletic Confer- ence. After a very promising 4-3 start, the Generals turned from the Big Bad Wolf into Green Jelly. Opponents outscored the Generals 115-39 over the 12 game losing streak that ended the season. In the final weekend of play, W&L dropped a home double- header to powerhouse Guilford College (5-1 and 4-0), and then lost a a twin—bill at Randolph- Macon College (11-3 and 6-4). Senior captain Jon Hesse, the team’s only member of the Class of ’93, ended his career second on the school’s all-time list for doubles with 21. He batted a ca- reer high .333 this season with nine doubles, 2 home runs, and a team-high 13 Runs Batted In. He also led the team in hits (25), runs (13), and slugging-percentage (.533). Hesse, who had started at shortstop for W&L every game since his sophomore year, struck out only twice in 75 at bats. Sophomore Bates Brown was the team home run leader with three. Classmate Duane Van Arsdale hit .329 with two home runs» (six career) and 12 RBI. Freshman Graig Fantuzzi led the pitching staff in wins (3), com- plete games (3), innings pitched (46.0), and strikouts (33). All is set for the fight of the decade. Bowe-Lewis? No. Knicks-Bulls? No.Roanoke Col- lege—Washington and Lee! The two rivals will be un- beaten in conference play when they meet next Thursday, May 6 at Wilson Field for the men’s lacrosse Old Dominion Athletic Conference championship. Roanoke is ranked fifth nation- ally in Division III, while W&L is tenth. . The Generals have climbed three spots since the pre—season rankings, while the Maroons have fallen two places. Whether that means anything will be decided in front of a rowdy, jam-packed Wilson Field crowd next Thurs- day. W&L improved to 9-2 over- all, 5-0 in the ODAC, with con- secutive routs of Hampden— Sydney College (17-6) and Guilford College (21-4) last week. Senior Wiemi Douoguih be- came the 15th General in history to reach 50 points in a season. He now has 51 points: 31 goals and 20 assists. David Lefkowitz is second on the team with 25 goals. This Saturday, the Generals will travel to Mt. St. Mary’s for a meeting with their Division 1 squad. That will be the last game before the Big One next Thurs- day, which precedes the May 8 Lee-Jackson Classic. “We had a wonderful season,” said ODAC Player of the Year, sophomore Marilyn Baker. She was the number one singles champion and shared the No. 1 doubles title with freshman Julie Ayers. Other singles winners included freshman Shelley Sunderman, Ayers, freshman Helen Chandler and sophomore Leslie Copeland. Sunderman and Chan- dler claimed the No. 2 doubles championship. “It was fantastic—the most championships we’ve ever had,” said coach Cinda Rankin, who was victorious in her own discipline,claiming the honors for ODAC Coach of the Year. She was amazed at the success of her very tournament. Photo by Bethany Smith, The Ring-tum Phi Senior Captain John Hunter fends off his Guilford competitor during Washington and Lee’s 21-4 blasting of the Quakers last week. Record-setters run around From Staff Reports If it’s true that the third time is the charm, the Washington and Lee track teams will be sitting pretty next year. Both the men and the women repeated their performance from last year’s Old Dominion Ath- letic Conference Championships, with respective third and second places Saturday at Bridgewater College. Honors for performance of the day go to the men’s 400-meter relay team of juniors Scott Covey and John Robinson, freshman Dax Mahoney and sophomore Hayne Hodges, which gained first place in conference record time of 42.5 seconds. This time is only two-tenths of a second away from provisional qualification for Division 111 National Championships. Leading the men, as he has done all season, was Greek God (yes, an ODAC athlete was actually overheard calling him that) Mahoney. He earned Athlete of the Year honors after winning the 200- and the 400-meter dash and participating in the winning 400- and 1600-meter relays. Senior David Phillips also had an Olympian performance, winning the 1 10-meter hurdles, plac- ing second in the 400-meter hurdles and running in the 1600 relay. Other individual champions included Robinson in the 100-meter dash and senior Harrison Shull in the high jump. Shull soared over 6-6 in his final ODAC appearance. “We improved in almost every event, both in- door and outdoor,” said coach Norris Aldridge. The Generals fell only 17 points behind first-place Lynchburg and three points from second-place Bridgewater. ' It was the same old story for the women, who set several conference and school records and scored voluminous amounts of points, but fell 27 points short of first-place Eastern Mennonite College. Freshman Josephine Schaeffer had a run—of-the- mill outing, winning both the 1500- and the 3000- meter runs in conference record time. Classmate Sandra Holmes was the General’s only other indi- vidual champion, mastering the javelin throw. Holmes, who earned the second-highest point total for W&L at 22, also set a new school record in the discus throw. Other record setters Saturday included junior Wendy Neel, who shaved five-tenths of a second off her 100 time, and sophomore Sarah Gilbert, who finished the 400 hurdles 3.5 seconds better than her former school-record time. Gilbert was the most prolific point-scorer of the Generals, earning 35.5 points while competing in more events than she could count. Both the men and the women are hoping to obtain National-qualifying performances in post—season competition. The men’s 400 relay is the brightest hope, but Mahoney in the 400, senior Bo Hannah in the 5000 and 10,000 and Phillips in the 110 hurdles are also pursuing qualification. Schaeffer, whose l0,()00 performance at Duke was a provisionally qualifying time, will try for an automatic at University of North Carolina May 8. The Duke race was her first-ever attempt at the event. W&L is down for the tournament, but not out. The players are looking forward to next season, as everyone will be returning. “Our team is improving and there is a lot of promise for the future,” said Baker. Rankin praised the spirit of the team. “The enthusiasm was contagious,” she said. “As soon as we won the championship, they were immediately looking forward to next year.” With two athletes hoping to go to Nationals and an ODAC title, the team can hardly complain. “It’s so exciting,” said Rankin. “I never dreamed that we would be so good.” APRIL 29,1993 Golfers claim third By Keith Grant 9‘ Phi Staff Writer The Washington and Lee golf team placed third in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Championship in Richmond, 27 strokes behind champion Guilford. Guilford golfers placed one-two, and W&L’s Pearce Smithwgck claimed third place with a 158, nine shots back. Smithwick and teammate Bo Williams were both named to the All-Toumament team. Williams shot a 163 to place sixth. Guilford defended their 1992 title with a 630 for the two-day affair. Hampden—Sydney followed at 647, ten ahead of W&L.
