Sexual assault video educates Photo by Darran Winslow, The Ring-tum Phi Students show video to promote awareness By MICHAEL HEWLET1‘ Phi Staff Writer “No relevance.” “Rough love.” “Full blown discrimination against men.” “An- dther thing ugly women complain about.” These are some of the responses that W&L students used to define date rape in a survey conducted by Denise Branard, ’92, and Heather Turner, ’92. Branard and Tumor used the results of the survey to make Painful Encounters: Forced tkx by Someone You Know, a video based on interviews with W&L rape victims. Branard and Turner made the video last year as a project for Professor David Novack’s Gen- der Relations course. _ Branard decided to make the video after she went through training with the iockbridge Area Coalition Against Sexual Assault (RACASA). According to Branard, most of the videos at RACASA were out- dated. She said people [on campus] were “lulled into a sense of security.” Branard said it was not difficult to get W&L victims to come forward. Associate Dean of Students Anne Schroer-Lamont helped arrange it. After researching general literature, statistics, and gender surveys, it took Branard and Turner six weeks to com- plete the film. VMI to host Lexington’s third movie By THOMAS HESPOS . Phi News Editor Whoever handles publicity for the City of Lexington is doing an incredible job. For the third time in a year, Lexington will host a movie, this time on the campus of Virginia Military Institute. Filming will start July 10. The movie will be called Conduct Unbecoming: The Court Martial of Johnson Whitaker, according to VMI Director of Pub- lic Relations Mike Strickler. According to a news release by Strickler, the movie is based on a true story of a black cadet who attended West Point in 1881. Whitaker, the only black cadet at the academy at the time, was assaulted in- his room a few months before his graduation by three masked men. Whitaker asked a court of inquiry to look into the incident and the court instead charged Whitaker with the crime. Whitaker was found guilty and asked for a court-martial to clear his name. The resulting trial found Whitaker guilty of faking the incident, but the conviction was later overturned. VMI was chosen for the filming because Virginia is a right-to—work state which will not force the producers to pay actors union _ wages. According to the release, Harry Jones, a ulti—ta1ented Emmy award-winner, will pro- gitce the film for Showtime, a cable television station. The movie will not appear in theaters. This year, four W&L women, Heather Rhodes, ’93, Lyrac Van Clief, ’93, Elizabeth Dettmar, ’94, and Betsy Kleiner, ’.93, have shown the video to the Interfratemity Coun- cil, Phi Gamma Delta, Pi Kappa Alpha, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Al- pha Theta. “There wasn’t a lot of discussion after- wards,” IFC President Curt Smith said. “I don’t think people expected a presentation with such an impact. It’s a pretty powerful presentation. It kind of puts things in per- spective when it’s people you know and see around campus.” Elizabeth Dettmar, who participated in the making of the video and has been part of the rape support group on campus, said she wanted to make people aware about date rape. “We wanted an educational tool to help change students’ attitudes about date rape at W&L,” said Dettmar. Schroer—Larnont believes the video can serve as an effective tool in changing atti- tudes. “It is the most powerful tool that we’ve found thus far to demonstrate the problem of forced intercourse by someone you know,” said Schroer-Lamont. “Many of the men who have attended these programs seem to be deeply moved by the personal stories of our own students.” Novack believes the video can be an ef- fective tool in combating date rape. “One of the things important about that videotape is that it attempts to make male and female students more aware in communica- tions,” he said. Novack said the video also made women more careful, made men listen to what women want and don’t want, and made men more sensitive to the need for sexual relations to be consensual. . For Betsy Kleiner, the video exists to educate people and to serve as a healing process for herself. Kleiner said that because she graduates inlune, she wanted to show the video to all of the fraternities and sororities before she receives her diploma. Kleiner said the videotape “hits people pretty hard.” Dettrnar believes the vide‘o"i‘s making impact, but she has her doubts that it will change people’s opinions. “I think it’s asking for a miracle to expect that this [video] will change attitudes at W&L,” she said. “It's going to take more than a video.” Smith agreed. “I don’t think one tape is going to change people’s attitudes,” he said. “but having people in the houses who are educated helps. I think education is what prevents that kind of stuff [from happening]. [IFC] will help out with the program if they want to do it again next year.” Art Pavilion By MELISSA Cuims Phi Staff Writer For those who are wondering when the Watson Pavilion will finally open, they have a while to wait—it won’t be ready until the fall. “It’s been a very complicated build- ing and it took the contractor longer than he bargained for, ” said Frank Parsons, university coordinator of capital plan- ning. I The Watson Pavilion, an extension of the Reeves Center will house a collection of antique Chinese furniture, jade pieces and porcelain donated by Mrs. William Watson, whose husband was a 1929 Washington and Lee graduate. The col- lection is valued at over $6 million. Mrs. Watson requested the building be called the Watson Pavilion, not the Watson Gallery. Construction of the building will be completed in late May, but Watson Pa- vilion won’t be open to the public until opensinfafl next school year. “We’re hoping to be open to the Uni- versity family when school is back in session, ” said Director of the Reeves Center Tom Litzenburg, who is in charge of preparing the Watson Pavilion for Mrs. Watson. Litzenberg said it will take all summer to do the inventory of the collection and to place it in the building. Litzenburg said the dedication of the Watson Pavilion will take place the week- end of October 23, with the Board of Trustees present. Parsons said the contractor will be working on a list of “all the little things that need to be attended to,” like remov- ing extraneous nails and touching up paint in spots. Parsons said one big job that still needs to be done is cover ing the steel pipe on the top of the columns with white column covers. Parsons said the covers are appar- ently “lost in transit.” “Nobody knows where the heck they are,” Parsons said. LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA MAY 13, 1993 SAC reviews Beta conduct problems By FRANCESCA Karxuxs Phi Executive Editor Beta Theta Pi Fraternity went before the Student Affairs Com- mittee at 2 p.m. today for a re- view of the fraternity”s conduct during the school year. SAC officials said their “con- cern is a pattern of unacceptable behavior in the house particu- larly concerning house damage.” Dean of Students David Howison said SAC can either place Beta on critical probation, suspend the fraternity or take no action. Beta appeared before the Interfratemity Council May 4 and was placed on conduct probation for the remainder of the school year, IFC President Curt Smith said. “We suggested that Beta take things into their own hands,” Smith said. “We told Beta if we have any more problems with them we would automatical lyput them on social probation.” The IFC hearing was the re- sult of a string of events: 0 On April 6 Beta made an agreement concerning fraternity conduct and house maintenance with their house corporation. Smith said Beta initiated the agreement and requested help from their house corporation. 0 On April 22 a Buildings and Grounds inspection indicated continued maintenance prob- lcms. 0 On April 24 Security was called to the Beta house for a complaint of loud music and bottle throwing from the back porch on to Red Square‘. Beta Chapter Advisor Farris Hotchkiss said he did not want to comment on the details of Beta’s SAC hearing until the hearing is over, but he did acknowledge there have been problems in the house. “The house corporation, for the Betas and the other fratemi— ties, has a responsibility as land- lord,” said Hotchkiss. “In this particular case the house corpo- ration has been paying close at- tention.” Hotchkiss said the Beta house corporation met last weekend and took action on the fraternity. Hotchkiss would not comment on the nature of the action, but Smith said Beta dismissed one fraternity member from the house last weekend. He said one other fraternity member had been dis- missed earlier in the year. Associate Dean of Students and Greek Affairs Leroy “Buddy” Atkins said house in- spection reports have listed dam- ages that go beyond that of other houses. B&G Inspectorlim Boyd said Beta’s weekly house inspections have showed more damage than most other houses. Boyd said damages have in- cluded furniture sawed in half, indoor furniture left outside, party damage from the basement to the third floor, damaged light fix- tures, holes in walls, damage to the roof gutters and broken win- dows and doors. “If the damage continues like this it won’t take long before they are back where they were [before Fraternity Renaissance], ” Boyd said. Beta’s repair bill for the month I of March was $1869.91, Boyd said. Boyd, who inspects all the fraternity houses, said Beta’s re- pair bills are usually higher than the other fraternities. ButAtkins saidthe Betas have tried to fix the problems on their own. “They’ve tried to do all they can to straighten it out.” By FRANCESCA KEFALAS Phi Executive Editor Students who eat dinner at the General Head- quarters will be out of luck next fall. Gerald Darrell, director of food service, said the GHQ will close beginning fall term because the restaurant is not doing good business and the space can be better used. The GHQ will lose several thousand dollars in revenue this year, Darrell said. “When the drinking age was 18 [the GHQ] was very successful,” Darrell said. “The last two or three years business has dropped.” - Darrell said the GHQ is only busy between 1 noon and 12:40 p.m., for lunch, and 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for dinner. When the proposal for the new student center fell through, Darrell approached Dean of Students David Howison with a plan to turn the GHQ into another room, like others in the University Center. Darrell said after 2 p.m., when the GHQ closes, the room will be available for catered affairs, bands, debates or other functions involving a large group of people. Darrell said he is planning several cater- ing menus that will cost $6 to $7 per person. Darrell said he has had to refusepeople who want a catered event because the University Center can not currently accommodate them. “I am turning away 100 people who want to have a dinner because I have a restaurant to feed 30 people,” he said. Student Manager Chris Crenshaw does not agree with the new plan. “Generally the student employees don’t ap- prove,” said Crenshaw. _ I _ ' _ _ _ Photo by Bethany Smith, The Fi/'ng—tum Phi Junior Nathan Dunn enjoys dinner at the Pit with a friend. GHQ to close for dinner Darrell told Crenshaw about the new plans for the GHQ, Crenshaw said, but he thinks the plans were already finalized. “My opinion can only count for so much,” Crenshaw said. “After all, I’m only a stu- dent.” ‘ . Howison said he and Darrell met with a group of freshmen, including class president Dax Mahoney, to discuss possible plans for the GHQ. Howison said Dean of Freshman and Residence Life Dennis Manning will work with the freshmen next year to lead the way toward utilizing the GHQ for nighttime activities. ‘‘If we find out it’s not successful after the first term then obviously we have to re—think the whole ‘ GHQ,” Howison said. Crenshaw said he is concerned with how much work will be available for students with the new GHQ plan. Darrell said that won”t be a problem. “There can be as much, if not more, work down there at night.” Darrell said the GHQ will have one manager and a part-time worker and the rest of the employ- ees will be students. GHQ customers are mostly the same people every night, Darrell said. A big concern was where GHQ customers would eat dinner, he said. Darrell said the Co—op will open at 6 p.m. instead of 8 p.m., or may even stay open the whole day. He said he wants the Co—op to have a dinner special, like the GHQ has now. This year business dropped at the Co—op for the first time in 24 years, Darrel said. “There’s just much more competition than there was before.” ‘Living with HIV’: one 25-year-old’s story By NANCY PAVLOVIC knew I could never. tell my parents,” ‘‘It was learning to live for another “I view myself as having a temii- thing.” Phi Managing Editor With her chin—lengLh auburn hair and easy smile, Beatrice von Guggenbcrg looks like the average 25-year-old with her entire life still in front of her.

We hope you have been listening and‘ watching. The truth is, if you’re having sex and you‘re not practicing safe sex you can get infected with HIV. AIDS is not a homosexual or drug addict disease, it’s a human disease. The fastest growing population of HIV positive people are teens and women. Experts will tell you f your going to have sex wear a condom, or have your partner wear one. The very idea of not practicing safer-sex is ludicrous. If you don’t protect yourself during sex, you’re having sex with everyone your partner has had sex with in the last 10 years. Although wearing a condom greatly reduces your chances of getting the HIV virus, abstinence is the only proven method of prevention. Use a condom, it won’t kill you if you do. But it might ifyou don’t. ——- F.K.. N.P. The GHQ (R.|.P.) It is the end of the month. You paid the last of the bills yesterday. You have no cash left. Fortunately, you have some money left on your University Card. Where will you go for dinner? The Co-op? Not likely. The Co-op is great for lunch or for a pre-class snack, but not all that good for dinner. How about the D-Hall? Also not very likely. You've eaten every meal the D-Hall has to offer at least 100 times. As a matter of fact, if you see just one more plate of.Tuna Devonshire or Chicken Cacciatore, you will probably go the way of the disgruntled Michigan Postal worker. So where do you go? How about the Pit? Oh yeah, you forgot. The Pit is closed. Why is the Pit closed? Because it is losing money. But where is it written down that the University has to make enormous profits from student meals? Recently, University Treasurer Larry Broomall told a jour- nalism student that Skylark, the University-owned retreat facil- ity, lo)§t__§.1flQ,QOQ last year.’ You djonftseeg the University closing“ V Skylark down. So why should the Pitbe closed? The real problem here is students who use the Pit were never really asked their opinion about closingthe place. Jerry Darrell and Dean Howison got together a panel of freshman to decide the fate of the Pit. When was the last time you saw a freshman in the Pit? It’s true the Pit isn’t a busy place, but maybe another solution could have been found if someone bothered to ask the students who eat at the Pit. Well, all of you who eat at the Pit on a regular basis will soon be able to enjoy fine dining at the Co-op. Maybe the university will even open a restaurant at Skylark.

Funding for The Ring—tum Phi comes primarily from advertising and subscription revenues. The Washington and Lee Publications Board elects the executive editor and business manager, but The Ring-tum Phi is otherwise independent. Letters and other submissions must be in the Phi office, room 208 of the University Center, by noon on Tuesday to appearin that week’s edition.

The Ring-tum Phi Post Office Box 899 Lexington, Virginia 24450 Ex-Spect My View By Cameron Humphries As for the time being, The Ring-tum Phi remains Washington and Lee’s paper of record, I am answering Mr. Pat McDermott’s mischaracteri7ation of the Hedquist/Spectator affair de- scribed in an April 29th “My View” in your publication. It is hard to believe that half of the student body wasn’t here when the affair occurred. l was then editor-in- chief of the W&L Spectator in March l99l when our advertising editor in- formed me that a professor was ap- proaching Lexington merchants and “intimidating” them into ceasing their patronage of the publication. (So meek were her efforts, however, that she even lacked the courage to deliver one letter face-to-f ace, supinely preferring instead to leave the letter on a merchant’s countenop while the atten- - dants were in the back.) Though I am not schooled in the finer points of anti-trust law, those who were informed the Spectator that Hedquist’s action was, at best, margin- ally legal. While it is legal to organize public boycotts or otherwise overtly protest a business’ activities, it is not legal to covertly approach one busi- ness and attempt to coerce them into ceasing their commerce with a second business, But this is exactly what Hedquist did. I take strong issue with Mr. McDermott’s characterization of Hedquist’s “ordeal” with the Spectator’s “well-known hatred.” It is, of course, all too characteristicof ultra- leftists like Mr. McDermott to equate differences of opinion with hatred, but for those of us who value people as much or more than policies, it is pos- sible to enjoy personal relationships with those with whom we also share disagreements. It is not my disposition to hate. Thus,despitemydifferenceswithPresi- dent Wilson, deans Elrod, Howison, Ruscio, and countless faculty and other administrators, I nevertheless maintain strong personal relationships with them. The Ring-tum Phi, May 13, 1993 Among the many fond memories I will retain of my four brief years at W&L will be those relationships I held with so many of whom I was also critical. I fear, as is so often the case with the values and traditions of W&L, that this may not be the case “in the real world.” Professor Hedquist’s responses to the entire affair were, however, very indicative of the real world of which she is a product. Before the Spectator printed one word, before the Richmond Times-Dispatch published one para- graph, and I assume, before anyone knew of her activities, the Spectator approached the professor. Hedquist was extraordinarily confrontational from the f irstencounter forwards. She hardly agreed to see anyone from the maga- zine at all. When she did, she refused to explain why she wrote the letters or whether or not she intended to continue writingthem. She wouldn’t tell us who she wrote or how many advertisers she contacted. Other than repeating that her “personal correspondence is per- sonal,” she said almost nothing. We offered her an unedited article in the Spectator; she declined. We asked her to write a letter to The Ring-tum Phi; she refused. ' , The Spectator responded in its April 1991 issue with an editorial once again asking Hedquist to explain why she believed attempting to adversely affect the budget of an independent publica- tion was an appropriate action for a university professor. Hedquist re- sponded by firm g of f a second round of letters; this time using registered mail. Reacting to what we had no option but to perceive as a threat to the financial stability of the publication, the Specta- tor adopted an “aggressive position.” We placed her picture on the cover of the magazine, we forwarded the story to the Richmond Tirnes-Dt'spat(:h, and we’ informed some national organiza- tions of her activities. The rest is history. Personally, though Mr. McDermott and other like—minded illiberal won’t believe it, I bear no ill will towards Professor Hedquist. As far as I’m con- cerned, the matter between Hedquist and the Spectator never became per- sonal. Her colleagues, however, did not hesitate to make it so. Hedquist’s superior, Pamela Simpson, used a mis- understanding within the department, coupled with a deliberate mischaracterization of a personal meet- ing between me and her to offer a gross exaggeration regarding my character to the student body via a letter to The Ring—tum Phi’. She stated quite errone- ously that I verbally intimidated Hedquist, interrupted Hedquist’s class, and treated Simpson with hostility. Of course, anyone who knows me recognizes the charges to «be ut- terly false, but alas,_ those who don't are free to draw their own conclusions. I asked foran apol- ogy; she refused. I haven’t spoken As for Profes- sor Peck, her em- barrassments are already legend- ary. She, of course, levied the stock incitements againstthemaga- zine and its edi- tors: racist, sex- ist, etc. —- all without substan- tiation.

What could be more ‘diverse’ than a group of like-minded individuals coming together to found a publication, 21 forum, for their ideas. ator chief denies allegations, tion, a forum, for their ideas. The founders of the Spectator sacrificed time, money, untold grade-points to produce the first issues. And for that they were greeted with nothing less than the hypocritical, unqualified r - sentment of a small, but vocal, minor- ity within the W&L community whose best definition of diversity is to convert Washington and Lee into one of any number of small liberal-arts colleges that currently clutter the landscape of higher education. The Spectator con- stitutesadistinbt voice in the Rainbow Coali- tion that Mr. McDermott so eloquently de- scribes.

And while you’re at it, get your facts straight, Pat. The Spectator has al- her “well known hatred.” But I’m sure McDermott wouldn’t call any- thing that Peck did or said “hate.” Ac- cording to his letter, that’s just diver- sity. “Diversity,” Robert Holland writes, “Drip, drip, drip.” And with the tirade on “diversity,” Mr. McDermott, you tell on yourself and other members of your self -righteous, self -styled clique.

What could be more “diverse” than a group of like-minded individu- als coming together to found a publica- ways distributgd copies to its ad- vertisers as well as to the student body. So as for trying to invent some new justification for Hedquist’s (and Peck ’s, lest we forget) cheap attempt at totali- tarianism, be more creative next time.As for Professor Hedquist, I wigh her well. But the mistake was hers, not ours. I regret that she lacks the charac- ter to tough it out here until the comrnu— nity was once again willing to accept her (and eventually W&L would have). She could leani a lot about diversity from staying here. And so could yogi, Mr. McDermott. Diversity threatens honor system MY VIEW By Andrew J. Olmem as individuals.” In response to the “My View” by Patrick McDermott in the April 29 Phi, I find the author’s call for an increase in politically motivated diversity at W&L a threat to this unique university. One of the strengths of W&L is that students, for the most part, all have a related belief in the ideals of the university, panicularly the Honor System. This, as we know, allows for an incredible academic environment that fosters intellectual achievement and promotes friend- ship. Take it away, and W&L would cease being an extraordinary school. It would become another school where students, divided into their own petty self- interest groups, have no respect for the institution. Why destroy an environment which so many students find advantageous, to accommodate students who do not believe in it? Instead, students should come to W&L because they believe in and want to uphold its ideals. Mr. McDermott’s advocacy of tolerance and di- versity has a distinct political slant. He says W&L should be more tolerant, but causticall y calls thosewho do not support gays “homophobic.” Would not a more tolerant W&L be more open to other perspectives, instead of trying to suppress them with unfair, nega- tive labels? He defends a teacher who tried to suppress a student publication that was not of heror his political persuasion and then calls these students and alumni who criticize her “intolerant.” The only viewpoint that deserves tolerance by Mr. McDermott’s stan- dards is his own. Also, Mr. McDermott unfairly criticizes the greek system, implying that it is some kind of social evil behavior. Students should be allowed to choose which organiza- tion theyjoin. Next, the greek system is not out of control. During par- ties the fraternities take extra security precau- tions by having sober officers and sober driv- ers available. Regula- tions by the Hill further ensure that the greek sys- tem does not get out of control. Finally, mem- bers of fraternities and sororities understand the value of being part of a group and the danger of being a self-centered in- dividual. Most members maintain a good balance and well-rounded. which promotes intolerance. “The lack of tolerance,” he writes, “causes us to maintain and subsidizea greek system which is totally outof control, so that we might all fit into the appropriate cliques rather than stand out First, abolishing the greek system is not tolerant between their greek responsibilities and the pursuit of their own individual interests. This adds to the quality of W&L by making greek members more responsible If Mr. McDermott really wants diversity he would not demand that W&L conform to other schools. Real diversity means some schools are single-sex and some are co-ed, some are ethnically diverse and some are homogeneous, some have traditional academic programs and some have radical academic programs. erancc.” Havingavarietyofdifferentstylesofschools is true diversity, not having every school adopt the same politically motivated agenda of “diversity and tol- Education at W&L will not be improved by promoting tolerance and diversity of the politically correct brand.

In- stead of buildin walls, more should be done to increase financrt aid, improve the science facilities, eliminate the greek fees (which excludes students from the Greek system), and promote the ideals of Lee. W&L should not sell out its fine traditions just to improve its standing in a college guide or to conform to students’ political persuasion. The bcnef its of a W&L education have been proven, hence there i! no reason for W&L to radically change in order to satisfy college guides or Mr. McDermott. ~r.4- _ ...J= .1‘-:2’-.'\.".--‘:~-"“‘~ To each his / Y OCR::/Vol_092/WLURG39_RTP_19930513/WLURG39_RTP_19930513_003.2.txt The Ring-tum Phi, May 13, 1993 Si>'os’ SPACE By Tom Hespos Note: Spos was not feeling his usual self this week, having spent the week- endflunting wild alumni with Marlin Perkins and Ted Nugent. He claims to have been knocked unconscious at ap- proximately 4 a.m. on Saturday night when an empty beer keg was hurled from the terrace of the Fairfax Lounge and bounced off his noggin. Fortu- nattdy, Spos was able to dispatch an underling to a FAX machine and send in his field report for the weekend ex- cursion, which we will present in its entirety.

Hunting Wild Alumni: a field study respectfully submitted to The Ring-tum Phi by M. Perkins, T. Hespos and T. Nugent. Wild alumni are an interesting breed. Scattered across the country in posi- tions of great importance, wild alumni are extremely unpredictable and, at times, very dangerous. The most con- sistent observation about wild alumni is that they return en masse to Lexing- ton,V irginia every spring, presumably to breed.ln order to study the life cycle and social habits of the wild alumnus, we assumed the roles of participant observers within the natural habitat of the wild alumnus. We set up camp in the Corral, pitching tents and assem- bli t our extremely sensitive observa- tion equipment (a pair of stylish bin- oculars —— $75 in the Spring Eddie Bauer catalog.) As the alumni began to roll into town on Friday morning in their BMW ’s, Miatas and Mercedes Benzes, our extremely sensitive observation equipment revealed that the vast ma- jority of the alumni had brought an Spring marks wild alumni interesting variety of intoxicants with them. M. Perkins suggested that these alcoholic beverages were offerings to the god of public embarrassment, lntoxieata-— bringerof icky upset stom- achs. (T. Nugent thought this was a bunch of B.S., but M. Perkins has spent the better part of his life observing primitive tribes and wrestling jungle vermin for Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, so we accepted his hypoth- esis.) Friday night brought many insights into the complicated social structure of the wild alumnus. At approximately 7 p.m., alumni emerged from their tem- porary lairs at Holiday Inn, the Keydet- General, and the Comfort Inn, and con- verged on the various fraternity houses in Lexington. Once there, they partici- pated in a complex social ritual that is very similar to the “pecking order” ritual that chickens tend to engage in. In this ritual, male alumni call atten- tion to themselves in an attempt to make other male alumni feel less suc- cessful. They do this verbally, saying things like: “As I’m sure you’ve already heard, I made CEO last year,” or “I love my new Lexus. It’s so much better than the Maserati I was driving last year.” As the night goes on, the male alumni make their offerings to Intoxicata by drinking several alcoholic beverages and participating in the following‘ reli- gious rituals: 1) Throwing up on another alum nus’ shoes, or e 2) Attempting to mate with female undergraduate students (usually unsuc- cessfully). . A Friday night yielded several inter- esting insights into the breeding habits of the wild alumnus. At approximately 2 a.m., those powerful alumni that manage to secure a W&L undergradu- ate or road-school mate go off to mo- tels, fratemity houses or the Libeny Hall ruins in order to nest. T. Nugent would like to note that it is during this mating period that the wild alumnus is most vulnerable.

Maybe the time has com-é’io start listening and ' sccondis a quotation ‘ paying more attention to the forces outside and in former Yugoslavia who have something else to say. No one has to look very hard through Belgrade University to find a very strong opposition to Slobodan Milosevic and his peons. American and world univer- sities are full of very distinguished Serbian and Croatian scholars who strongly condemn the policies of “their” governments. They need a chance to be heard in and outside of Yugoslavia. The point that one may learn from talks with such people is, there is no one side to blame in this terrible war, rather a very small minority representing official governments. Governments which gained power and control over their respective republics by feeding their peoples with lies, fears, rumors and the worst possible propaganda. That perspective never had a chance to be represented in your panel. I have spoken with several people attending the lecture, many of whom share my assessment of the meeting, including Dr. KrzystofJasiewicz. Let me finish with the sugges- Sofiety: 1 am writing this letter as a Yugoslavian-American to express my deepest disappointment with the panel discussion entitled: “Achieving a Lasting Peace in Former Yugoslavia,” held on April 8, in Lenfest Center. Under the pretext of an open academic discus-' sion you have allowed the panelist to flood the room wifi quasi—inte1lectual rhetoric (Dr. Cohen), and offi- cial propaganda by Brarikovic and Vujovic (surpris- ingly to the lesser extent?). The real shock came in the beginning with your announcement that the public was not allowed to ask any questions. My impression about these kinds of discussions was that it encourages an open discus- sioa, no matter how controversial it may be. If your guests requested such a protocol then they should not have been invited in the ’first place. If that decision was made by the organizers, then the public should not have been allowed inside the auditorium and ultimately we would not feel cheated in thinking we were welcome. {is said in the closing statement, the issue at hand is a very complex one indeed. “Experts” like Dr. Cohen can never achieve anything but more destruc- -"...7(.~'l". .. - 1"-".4 }' .1‘. disappoint eral members of the Class of 1943 with only a bow and arrow, and would like to add that without hunters to control their population, wild alumni would overpopulate their ecosystem and starve to death over the long, harsh winter. With the sun’s rise on Saturday, the devastation of the night before was revealed to SGBSOI1 T. Nugent observed one alumnus who, with the aid of several “Harvey Wallbangcrs,” had convinced himself that he was Bob Hope. Swinging at nonexistant golf balls with invisible clubs, the alumnus slurred something about his 9()th birthday drawing near. T. Nugent put him out of his misery with a well-placed us, Large arrow.

Hope- fully, this will grant us further insight into the migration habits of the wild alumnus. Further nesting and subsequent breeding occurred on Saturday night. Those not engaging in reproductive activities continued to worship lntoxicata by drinking beer and cock- tails. Several alumni were observed while drunkcnly meandering down the streets of Lexington, calling out names of old fraternity brothers or attempting to find their way to The Palms. As the alumni departed in thunder- ing herds, the undergraduate students and administration of Washington and Lee let out a sigh of relief. Hopefully, with the aid of field studies like this one, we will one day understand the . bizarre world of‘the wild alumnus. However, if we are to continue our studies, we need your help.

Brandon Neblett, '93, chairperson of the program, said, “The most impor- tant thing l’ve learned is how to inter- act and deal with kids. An eight-year- old sees things differently than an adult, ' and l’ve had toyleam how to be patient an@ supportive and how to tell when my younger brother wants to talk.” W&L students who volunteer to be a big brother or sister to a Rockbridge County child generally spend time with their younger sibling on the weekends or after school. Neblett said, “I spend about three hours a week with my little brother. I’ll go over to the little guy’s house and we’ll play basketball or go to Sweet Things foran ice cream cone. He lives out of town, and he loves running around the countryside and exploring an3 showing me the things that he’s found.” One advantage of the program is that W&L students volunteer to be a Big Brother or Sister for the year, and a successful often students will spend two years or more with the same child. “To have an impact on a kid, it has to be a long-terrn commitment,” ex- plained Neblett. “When I lirst started, I realized that you can’t give a couple of weeks and expect to make a differ- ence. The biggest thing that we em- phasize is continuity. It’s important to fit into the kid’s life.” “When my little brother is psyched to have me show up at his school or be with his family and friends I know I am hav- ing a positive effect on his _ ‘ life," said family and friends I Neblett.

I think my younger brother really looks up to me because l’ve shown him things that he’s never done before. For instance, we went to the library one night and rode adult is all about. I see someone who is happier now than when I first met him,” Neblett said. Other W&L participants have had similar experiences with their younger brothers and sisters. Eric Shirley, ’95, said, “It was en- joyable to make a young child feel that up and down the el- evatorbecause 'ne’d neverbeen in one,” Graham said. Miriam Neel, ’94, is one of the few women who has a younger brother. She said, “It’s a challenge to come up with things to do with him because he is such a ball of energy. I worried because I thought he’d do better with a e kids’ lives big brother, but it has worked out well. He looks at things differently. When I am with him, lsee the world from a ten- year-old perspective and it’s interest- ing.” Margie Page, a guidance counselor at Central Elementary in Lexington, said, “l’ve been working with the pro- gram for four years and we’ve gotten more and more people from W&L to work with us.” “Some students simply call and ask ifwe need tutors,”she said. “The kids are very grateful for the attention they get. They talk about their big brothers and sisters and it really does make a difference,” Page said. Neblett said, “The great thing about this year is that we were swamped with freshmen and ifwe can get them to stay with the kids for four years then the possibilities are endless. Their'expo- sure tothe different side ofthe world by dealing with children in an economi- cally depressed area like Rockbridge County is something that a lotof W&L students don’t get.” “There’s no doubt that an experi- ence like this helps you be an under- standing adult and a better parent,” said Neblett. “It’s been hard to organize things this year with the big increase in big brothers and sister, but I think we’ve done a good job.” A collection of artwork by John D.

' The Generals (12-2) will play at Ohio Wesleyan University on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. The Bishops (10-1) are the tournament’s fourth- seeded team. Although Washington and Lee’s two losses this season came against two of the tournaments’ field, the Generals defeated fourth- ranked Roanoke College, 9-8, at Wilson Field lastThursday. The win gave them the Old Dominion Athletic Conference title and eamed the team the bid that would otherwise have likely gone to Roanoke.

W&L raced to a 5-1 lead in the second quarter and never trailed. Roanoke closed to within 5-3, but a Washington and Lee score just before half-time provided the Generals with a three-goal lead. W&L held a 9-6 lead late in the game that put the hometown fans in a celebratory mood. Although the Maroons made things interest- ing with two more scores—the second with 15 seconds left—the White and Blue ran out the clock for its sixth conference win and the title. The championship was the second in the past two years for W&L. in the ODAC’s first eight seasons, Roanoke went undefeated versus conference opponents and won each title. However, the Maroons have been held to only two ()DAC crowns in the last five years. The matchup with Ohio Wesleyan is considered an excellent draw for the Generals, who entered the Roanoke game ranked tenth in the nation. Washington College (1 1-3), who defeated W&L 12-10 ear- lier this season, has the unenviable task of opening against top-seeded Salisbury State (13-0). The winner will face the winner of the W&L- Ohio Wesleyan game in the semi-finals. The Generals appear to be entering the tournament playing their best lacrosse of the season.The team’s last three victories were versus Division I Mount St. Mary's College, Roanoke, and Division I VMI. The 18-3 win at VMI’s Alumni Memorial Field last Saturday was the biggest blowout in the Lee-Jackson Classic’s six-year history. In that game, Generals’ senior attackman Wiemi Douoguih tied the nine-year-old school record for goals in a game with eight. He has scored 25 goals in W&L’s last five contests. This week, Douoguih was declared the ODAC’s Player of the Year, the second General to receive that honor. son Classic at VMl’s Alumni Memorial Field. Next stop for women’s hoops? Only time will tell as W&L basketball team achieves varsity status By SARAH GILBERT Phi Sports Editor After becoming the winningest of the three college-level bas- ketball squads in the booming metropolis of Lexington, Virginia, where’s a girl to go? The Final Four? Disneyland? Varsity‘? The Washington and Lee women’s basketball team, for now, will take the third option with open arms. After only three years, senior Courtney Smith’s brainchild has become a winning club, going 7-5 during the 1992-93 season. Next year, the brand-new team will play 21 games as a Division 111 independent and, in 1994-95, will join the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. History professor Barry Machado and Earl Edwards of the W&L computer center served as volunteer coaches for the fledg- ling team. “Weset as our goal to get the ball rolling,” Machado said. “We hoped to show that there was a genuine interest. “The conventional wisdom was that [W&L women] weren’t hard—nosed enough to play basketball. They demonstrated beyond question that there was a- readiness to develop, improve and compete.” Not only did the Generals compete, they succeeded. They rounded out their season with a second place at the Virginia-North Carolina Tournament at Mary Baldwin College, losing to nation- ally ranked Meredith College. “We had a few shaky games, but we came on strong at the end of the season,” said Machado. Washington and Lee is conducting a nation-wide search for a coach who will take the responsibility for both the women’s volleyball and basketball teams, to be named June 1. The new coach will have a strong base (though wholly made up of walk- ons), as only one current player, Smith, will graduate this year. “Having a coach who can actually recruit players will help,’ said Machado. Basketball, as the eighth women's varsity sport at W&L, hopes to rival the meteoric rise of the rest of the Lady Generals. “This is an exciting time for W&L athletes; if [the basketball team] can measure up to the maturity of the women’s lacrosse team, it will be well worth it,” said Machado. The maturity level of the women’s basketball team, even with its present club status, should not be underestimated. “What stood out was how many players on the team made great strides,” said Machado. “We genuinely looked like a basketball team at the end of the season.” 7 Sogpwve 3a.om£TH£ W!NNW¢5l£5T 'r£Am no L‘I'—$4NfiTbN- HON wt-MT AR?-350% faowéfb Do? I passing ability, I don’t think you can keep him from getting it," said Guilford College assistant coach Mike Ketchum thinks that Ohio Wesleyan’s best chance to win is to prevent Douoguih from gegting the ball. At the same time, though, he doesn’t think it will be possible. “You have to deny him the ball, but with his size and the team’s Ketchum. ‘ Douoguih’s scoring surge has put him into a position to reach some ofW&L’s long-standing records. His 47 goals this season are the most by a General since Rob Morgan set the present record '53 goals in 1975. Douoguih’s 72 points are the sixth highest single- season total for a General, 13 short of the record which was also set in 1975, by Don Carroll. The senior is also just two goals short of becoming only the fifth General to net 100 for a career. Joining Douoguih with All-()DAC honors are Hunter, Murtagh, senior Josh Levinson, and senior Kirk Olsen. It is the second time that five Generals have achieved that distinction. V The Generals and Ohio Wesleyan are no strangers to one anofner. The Bishops knocked W&L out of both of its previous appearances in the Division III toumament. After the Generals defeated Ohio Wesleyan during the 1987 regular season, the Bishops routed W&L 17-4 in the toumament’s semi-finals. In ’91, Ohio Wesleyan defeated W&L both during the regular season and in the toumament’s quarter—finals. The Bishops have won the last five meeting between the two. Although both schools’ offensive, defensive, and goaltending statistics are very even, the Bishops tallied wins over Division 1 Michigan State, 13-1 1, and Division I power Notre Dame, 13-8. However, Ketchum thinks W&L might come away with a win. “[W&L] has better athletes,” he said. “They’re deeper and faster. ondalc - - on ck it ‘ Lexington Bike Shop I Jansport daypacks and book bags ' I , INTERNATIONAL E M P LO Y M E NT Make money teaching basic 1 give them a good chance [to winl.” Photo by Darran Winslow, The Ring-tunbPhi Douoguih shoots past his VMI opponent, scoring one of his school-record eight goals in Saturday’s Lee-Jack- SPORTS NOTEBOOK W()MEN’S LACROSSE Afterits meteoric rise to glory, the Washington and Lee women’s lacrosse team fell at the murderous hands of f irst-ranked Trenton State in the Generals’ first-ever National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 111 tournament appearance. W&L fell 18-4 to the Lions, after holding them scoreless for nearly 14 minutes in the first half. A 7—lrun by Trenton St. at the close of that half, however, was the Generals’ downfall, and they never recovered. Senior Lisa Dowling scored both of W&L’ssccond-half goals for a school-record season total of 81. TRACK AND FIELD Washington and Lee trackstcrs ran away with it all at University of North Carolina Saturday. Not only did both the men’s 400- and l600—meter relays teams achieve National Collegiate Ath- letic Association national provi- sionally qualifying times, but the 1600 relay broke a school record that has stood since 1939. As if the men hadn’t done enough, freshman Josephine Schaef f er continued on her head- long rush to track and field glory by bettering her provisionally qualifying time in the 10,000- meter run. Schaeffer shaved 36 seconds off her previous time, obtained at the Duke Invitational in April, finishingin 37:34.9l.She willbe notified May 23 whether or not she will race at the National com- petition at Baldwin-Wallace Col- lege in Berea, Ohio. She placed third in the race. Juniors Scott Covey and Tohn. Robinson, sophomore Hayne Hodges and freshman Dax Mahoney need only to decrease their time of42.46 seconds in the 400 relay by 46 one-hundredths of a second to qualify automati- cally. ’ “We have a chance to run the automatic qualifying time if we get our hand-offs a little faster,” said coach Norris Aldridge. “i think we have a good shot.” Equally amazing was the 160() relay team of senior David Phillips, sophomore Grant Cowell, Mahoney and Robinson, whose time of 3:18.45 in the longer relay was better than a time of 3:19.4 set by the 1939 squad in the mile relay. “They ran well,” Qaid Aldridge. “If they get in [to the NCAAtoumament],they’llhave a shot at making the top eight, which they have to do to make All-American.” TENNIS ‘ Members of both the men’s and women’s tennis teams will be flying north in the coming week to compete against the best of the National Collegiate Ath- » letic Association Division II . _ Sophomore Marilyn Ba er will compete tomorrow and Mon- day at Carleton College in St. Paul, Minnesota.

MacNaughton will compete in the singles portion of the tour- nament, and he and Hammond will join forces to play in The doubles tournament.
