Kull prepared a five-page financial break- -c own of the proportions of student activities ees used by the SBA, which funds all law chool clubs and activity groups. Kull’s report a utlined, among other things, the proportion of l omy that goes toward paying for “frozen unds”— funds that all W&L students must pay 'nto, such as the Pavilion fund and the EC ' eserve Funds. According to Kull’s report, law students pay $10 toward university-wide activities, while undergraduates pay $70.65. In order to have law students “pay their fair share,” Kull proposed cutting the SBA’s fund- ing, which was tentatively approved at the EC’s budget hearings, by $13,000. Kull’s motion failed. “You could go through and attack every little detail in this budget,” said SBA President Patricia McNemey in the ensuing argument. “You’re strapping us, basically.” McNemey said the School of Law has a different social setting than the undergraduate side of the campus. Law Class Representatives agreed. “We depend on our organizations to provide a social setting,” said EC Law Rep James Rambeau. Hackney said many undergrads pay addi- tional money for their social settings. pay their own social fees,” he said. Other EC reps suggested that the SBA could raise its membership fees in order to ease the need for EC the EC compromised on a figure of $41,883, a figure $5,000 less than the allocation made during the budget hearings. Due to the adjustments in funding. Kull suggested a remedy of raising SBA fees from $20 to $56. “Thirty-six bucks is a big chunk of cash,” said McNemey, adding that many law students are “living on loans.” During one point in the argument, Second—year Law Rep Kevin Webb suggested that if the $13,000 cut were approved, the SBA should considerseparating from the EC completely, a notion that EC President Bob Tompkins referred to as “blackmail.” Kull the budget, the EC had to de- fer final approval of the bud- get to its next regular meet- ing. Under the Student Body Constitution, the EC must ap- prove the budget twice, in consecutive meetings at least a week apart. The EC made an additional adjustment to the budget by replenishing the Publications Board Reserve Fund. Through a budgeting error years old, it was depleted by $5,700 in an unconstitutional move on the part of the EC. Tompkins produced a copy of the minutes which allocations to clubs were made out of the Pub Board Reserve Fund. “Your constitution says that the EC cannot do that,” said Pub Board Advisor Brian Richardson. The EC unanimously approved a motion to reimburse the Pub Board and simultaneously reduce the allocations of the publications under the jurisdiction of the Pub Board by 17 percent. These publications include The Ring-tum Phi, The Calyx, The Journal of Science, Ariel and The Political Review. V Tompkins said the purpose of the reserve fund is to pick up any debts incurred by the publications under the Pub Board’s jurisdic- tion. Tompkins said the EC’s move allowed them to solve the budgeting error constitution- ally, without hurting the publications. “The money’s still there,” he said. “They’ll just have to take it out of the Pub Board Re- “A lot of [undergrad fraternity members] After more than two hours of deliberation, from the EC’s October 7, 1991 meeting, in serve.” Q Cadet receives racial threats Photo by Melissa Wolf, special to Te Ring-tum Phi A freshman completes his “tear” at a fraternity house Friday.

By NANCY PAvLovic Phi Managing Editor Fraternity Rush officially ended last Friday, Oct. 1 but not before it added 240 men to the ranks of Washington and Lee University’s 16 fraternities. Of the 254 men who went through rush, 94.48 percent pledged, or joined, a fraternity during Tear Night Weekend (Oct. 1-2). Unlike last year, freshmen men did not choose one or two houses in disproportionate num- bers over the other houses. “Only 2 percent of the people who didn’t go through with it, either got a bid and decided not to accept or didn’t receive a bid,” lnterfraternity 1 Vice-President Ryan Donaldson said. Chi Psi got the largest pledge class this year with 25 freshmen. Delta Tau Delta received the few- est with only two pledges. Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Phi Ep- silon followed close behind with each getting 24 pledges. Last year, the number of pledges per house ranged from 3 to 40. 1 According to Donaldson this year’s pledge classes are “more equally distributed than in year’s past.” But, Chi Psi President John #1 Hudson cannot believe pledge class sizes are being described as “evenly distributed.” “The numbers are right in front of you and they’re still saying it was evenly distributed,” Hudson said. “But you still had houses getting great numbers and houses getting killed.” Hudson, nevertheless, is pleased by their performance this year and attributes much of their success to being back in the fra- ternity house. During last year’s Rush, the Chi Psi house was still under renovation. “It made a world of difference being back in the house this year,” Hudson said. “It was kind of hard last year to expect a freshmen to tear at a fraternity when they can’t see the house and what it’d look like.” Delt has both the smallest pledge class of the year and the smallest fraternity on campus. Counting the two new pledges, Delt has 17 members, seven of whom will graduate this spring. Until this fall, Delt had been on suspension since January 18, 1992 for vandalizing their frater- nity house. House President I» See RUSH, page 4 By SARAH GILBERT Phi Staff Writer Virginia Military Institute cadets are angry and scared this week after one cadet received racial threats and the school administration brought in the FBI to investigate. A member of the first class at VMI received three threatening letters, two of which had varying degrees of racial overtones. The cadet, whose name has not been released but has been identified as a black athlete, received the first letter a little over a week ago. The letter was printed from a computer within VMI and said, “You’ll be next.” The second letter was subtly racial, but defi- nitely threatening bodily harm, and the third had definite racial overtones and was also very threat- ening. Rumors that this was a death threat have surfaced, but are unsubstantiated by sources close to the situation. Some sources inside VMI believe this incident may be linked to a problem about four weeks ago, in which a black fourth—classman, or freshman, also an athlete, was involved in two or three confronta- tions with upperclassmen. First class member Zack Scott explained the situation. “Usually, when a cadet swings at another cadet, he’s thrown out,” Scott said. ‘‘In this case, he was only penalized.” Evidently, the rat had initiated a shouting match and had been in at least one physical fight. He was not conforming to the rat line well, and the consen- sus was that he did not like VMI from the begin- ning. Shortly after his penalization and the subse- quent uproar within the student body, many of whom felt he was being “protected” because he was an athlete, the cadet withdrew from the institu- tion. The OGA, a committee of cadets called Pri- vates, which is the internal court system for the corps and usually handles problems such as harass- ment and threats without the administration’s in- put, was not asked to be a part of either case. The first letter was taken as a joke by the first- classman, but the second, more threatening one was publicized to the coaches and first class mem- bers at VMI. The third prompted the administration to address the Corps of Cadets. “Threats to or assaults upon any cadets, whether racially motivated or not, will not, shall not, be tolerated,” said Major General John Knapp, VMI superintendent in the address. Knapp also said that the initiator of the notes, if and when he is caught, will be summarily dis- missed, and his name will be turned over to the police. Cadets and administration believe the culprit is a cadet or group of cadets, largely because of limited access to barracks. Scott, who is also a black cadet, believed that race relations at VMI have changed over the years. “When I was here five years ago, there was less of a racial tension,” he said. “In the past few years, I have noticed adefinite change in the level of racial undertones.” Scott felt the victim was picked out for threats, not because of his relation to an earlier incident, but because of his position in the institute. A source close to the victim of the threats said that the first-classman was “pissed off and con- bsee VMI, pag£10 mt \iu)I " I I 41- OCR::/Vol_093/WLURG39_RTP_19931008/WLURG39_RTP_19931008_002.2.txt O The Ring-tum Phi, Octobe»r_8_,_1993 BEYOND THE BLUE RIDGE The World China resumes nuclear tests China conducted its first nuclear test in over a year on Tuesday.

NEWS Phi Delts make “a big mess’ Leroy “Buddy” Atkins was called out to see the mess by Phi Delt faculty advisor Joseph Goldsten. Atkins de- scribed the situation in the house as “[the] kind of mess you would expect from four-year-olds who had been drinking.” “They just made a big mess,” Atkins said. “I don’t think they did any perma- nent structural damage but it was a pretty childish way to act.” The fraternity was brought before the Interfratemity Council’s Judicial Board which referred it to the Student Affairs Committee, IFC Vice-Presi- dent Ryan Donaldson said.

Washington and Lee’s peer counselors can help. Composed of 28 W&L students, the university’s peer counseling group offers an open ear to students with concerns ranging from stress to homesickness to homosexuality. “My dream was that we would have a group of students trained year round to provide a service to W&L students,” said Dr. James Worth, university psychologist and founder and director of peer coun- seling at W&L. “We’ve got some really visible people,” said head peer counselor, junior Julia Podlas. With a one in three acceptance rate last spring, peer counseling was able to draw in a very select group. “We cut some people who shouldn’ t have been cut,” said Dr. Worth, saying that the pool of appli- cants was so good last spring that students who would normally be well-qualified as peer counselors were not accepted. “We had the finest group of applicants [last spring],” said Worth. Last year, approximately 10 percent of the stu- dent body went to peer counselors. The average counselor received eight to 10 people, according to Podlas. _ Peer counselors are people students are usually comfortable talking with. “I ’ve always been a person people can just come “talk t.s.>.3:.§tt.i....r>.e<.>.r2l.<:-.’.T...... " " “I like feeling like I’ve helped someone get through a tough part of their life,” said junior peer counselor Megan McCloskey. Counseling is not always a piece of cake for the peer counselors. They have to be available anytime, according to Dr. Worth. Also, the responsibility of counseling can sometimes be hard. Not all problems are easy to address and sometimes are impossible to address. In that case, the student is referred to the university. “Sometimes it’s hard to keep personal views to yourself,” said Podlas. Training helps counselors with all the glitches counseling presents. “The peer counseling program is the best trained program,” said Podlas. A two-day training session with an emphasis on listening skills is followed by meetings every every month. Much of the training is done by Dr. Worth. “A high percentage of peer counselors who apply for dorm counselors have gotten in,” said Worth. Listening skills are key. Peer counselors are also taught to motivate students to foster their own self- Photo by Francesca Kefalas, The Ring-tum Phi The University Peer Counselors and Dr. Worth give students someone to talk to. “I was just fascinated with what he was doing.at Lynchburg College,” said Worth.

The SFHB, founded in order “to hear and adjudicate allegations of sexual misconduct involving Washington and Lee students,” con- sists of four faculty members and four students. Two faculty and two student members are also appointed. This year’s faculty members are Professors Brian Murchison, Pamela Simpson, Cecile West-Settle, and William Watt. Roger Jeans and Nancy Margand are the faculty alter- nates. Student members are Justin Bakule, Shawn Copeland, Julia Podlas, and Laura Voeckel. Student alternates are Brian Hucks and Sakina Paige. If a student has a complaint, he or she can take that complaint to the SFHB Mediator. The 1993-94 Mediator is Anece F. McCloud, asso- ciate dean of students for minority and interna- tional student affairs. The Mediator then dis- cusses the complaint with all parties involved, in an attempt to resolve the complaint. If it cannot be resolved, and the complainant so desires, the SFHB will hear the case.

SFH3 members claim success cused not guilty.Two complaints of sexual mis- conduct were reported to the Mediator, but the complainants did not request any formal action. “[The SFHB] is serving the purpose it was created for,” said member Shawn Copeland. But, “it hasn’t received much publicity, good or bad.” “The system is working,” said McCloud. She added, however, “we have not received complaints from all the students who may have had complaints.” McCloud emphasized the confidentiality of the system, and said, “It’s important for stu- dents to be able to have confidence that other students will not know about [their reports].” “I don’t think students have any reason to feel otherwise [than confident],” said Copeland. “I would hope people would feel free to ap- proach it.” * Board member Julia Podlas also thinks that not all students come forward with their com- plaints. “There are so many cases that go unreported,” she said. Voeckel also stressed the need for students to feel secure in the system. “The system can’t work without students reporting their com- plaints,” she said. The board meets in the event of a case, and other times during the year, “to discuss issues of procedure,” said Board Chairperson Cecile West-Settle. “Right now we’re working on alcohol awareness week,” said senior Sarah Butler, co-chair of the While the peer counseling program has gone beyond Dr. Worth’s original goals for the program, “I would very much like to see the peer counselors kind of like the trusted people around campus,” he 1987.

Money. Cleveland Hickman, professor emeritus of biology, donated $50,000 to the Biology Department. According to Shoulders of Giants: News of the Campaign for Washing- ton and Lee, the money will be used to endow the Biology Lecture Series. Due to previous budget restraints, the department had difficulty in affording more than one guest; lecturer per year, and seldom for more than one day. Hickman also designated an additional $4000 to the pro- posed $20 million science center. “We have many majors in biology, but insufficient space for teaching and research,” said Hickman. According to Farris Hotchkiss, Vice—-president of Uni- versity Relations, Hickman’s gift is vital to Washington. and Lee’s $127 million fundraising campaign. “A gift of this sort brings us more encouragement for the University ’s future than I can possibly say,” said Hotchkiss. Hickman believes that his gift will be beneficial for W&L. “It’s been very helpful and will continue to be so for ' years to come,” said Hickman. a- OCR::/Vol_093/WLURG39_RTP_19931008/WLURG39_RTP_19931008_003.2.txt I e Ring-tum Phi, October 8, 1993 ALCOHOL, from page 1 In the 1990 Carnegie Foundation report Cam- Lip: In Search of Community presidents of leges and universities across America were ed, “What three campus-life issues have en ‘you the greatest concern?” The most quent response to that question was “Sub- nce abuse — primarily alcohol.” A report from the Student Affairs staff at shigton and Lee, dated September 1993, ws that W&L ranks alcohol as one of its atest concerns too. “In the fall of 1991, the Student Affairs staff t in a series of workshops to consider the blem of alcohol at Washington and Lee,” tes the report. “We concluded that alcohol use among students at Washington and Lee is roblem that needs to be addressed.” How well is the University getting across its ssage?

In 1989-1990, the number of alco- l related arrests dropped to 152. The number clined after that to 117 in 1990-91 and only « in 1991-92. Bufin the 1992-93 school year, incidents of est for alcohol related charges went up again, 121 arrests. This year there were six arrests r drunk driving within the first two weeks of e sses. There were fifteen arrests for DUI all t year. Dean of Greek Affairs Leroy C. “Buddy” kinfi said that part of the reason for the tructuring of Tear Night two years ago was help prevent injuries due to intoxication. But is year, as in years past, broken bones and rained muscles marred Tear Night for some. Dr. James Worth, university psychiatrist d head of the campus alcohol awareness ogrfln, said that alcohol also poses greater reats to students. An arrest for public drunk- riess or an ankle sprained in a fall down the ». irs are only minor symptoms of alcohol use. “The VMI/Phi Delt fight would never have occurred if there were no alcohol present,” said Worth. “In social problems where there are student injuries and deaths, alcohol is almost always present. I haven’t ever dealt with an acquaintance rape where alcohol wasn’t in- volved. “And who knows how many relationships broken, how many excellent GPAs fallen to average or below, or how many careers left because of alcohol,” Worth continued. Newly published studies have shown that abuse of alcohol affects learning and memory. Not only can drinking to excess make you have blackouts in which drank less more often.” Swartzwelder pointed out that the type of drinking that goes on at colleges, including at W&L, is exactly the type that causes the most damage. Most colleges students drink very little during the week, but then have a “blow- out drinking spree” during the weekend. “It’s a totally different psychology,” said Swartzwelder. “They ’re looking for a real strong alteration two times a week. That’s exactly what disrupts memory.” But there is a distinction between alcohol use and alcohol abuse. Just because you drink does not mean you can’t remem- ber anything, but it can affect your long term memory, and your ability to learn. Worth ex- plained that means that two weeks af- , ter drinking a dozen beers, you could still be suf- fering from a USO ing evidence of use Symptoms of dependency ' Trying to cut down or quit using some substance, and failing at it ' “Blackouts”, or lapses of memory, after ° Using the substance while alone, or hid- ° Using the substance to forget about prob- that you are abus- ing alcohol. “Abuse is us- ing alcohol to the point where you are impaired in somefashionand tothepointwhere you are endan- gered by addic- tion,” said Worth. “It’s a “mental hang- lems of worrigs two partrisk.

The degree of impairment increases with the amount of alcohol imbibed. “It is clear that when it comes to alcohol affecting how well your brain is working, the important factor is how much you drink per drinking session,” said Swartzwelder. “We don’t understand why, but in non-alcoholic drinkers the amount that is drunk per drinking spree is what affects learning. Scientific data show that if when you drink, you drink a lot, you’re hurting your brain more than if you to say alcohol is evil. The University’s position is to encourage and, where necessary, enforce the use of alco- hol in appropriate and risk free ways,” said Worth. However, Worth added that college stu- dents are at greater risk to become abusers of alcohol or alcoholics, especially students at W&L. “A guess that I have is that alcohol abuse at W&L is higher than the average school — that’s not a data based statement,” said Worth. “But we do know statistically that alcohol abuse is higher where there is fraternity membership. That’s true nationwide. While other schools have 20 to 30 percent membership in fratemi- ties, W&L has 75 to 85 percent membership.” By extending those figures, that means that W&L very likely has more students who abuse alcohol than other schools as well. Peer Counselors Sarah Butler and Jennifer “Goose” Garrigus, co-chairs of the peer coun- selor education committee, said the pressure to drink is hard to resist at W&L. “There definitely is a problem at W&L,” said Butler. “The average drinks per person per week at W&L is way above the national aver- age. Dr. Worth told us about a survey on college campuses on the west coast. The drinks per person per week average there is 2.9. I know lots of people that drink way more than that here. They might be drinking responsibly, but we are way above the national average. “If you took students out of this college situation and put them in the real world-— if they drank this much— they’d be considered alcoholics,” said Butler. Garrigus said the pressure to drink is espe- cially great on freshman. “lt’s so hard not to drink when the pressure is so hard,” said Garrigus. “The freshman have never been in this atmosphere before. Alcohol is easy to abuse here because it’s easy to get.” Head peer counselor Julia Podlas agrees. “l’ve had freshmen come to me and ask if they have to drink to fit in at W&L.” said Podlas. “Girls come to me and say ‘I’ve never drunk before and I don’t want to start now’.” W&L surveys of entering students show that most students drink even before they get to W&L, however. “In a recent survey of the freshman class at Washington and Lee, 75 percent of the class reported that they drank alcoholic beverages before coming to W&L,” says the Student Affairs report. And most students increase their drinking when they come to college. Therefore the potential for abuse also in- creases. And as abuse increases, so do its conse- quences. “Alcohol continues to be a standard feature at the traditional W&L fraternity party,” the Student Affairs report stated. “A significant number of the cases handled by the Student Conduct Committee involve alcohol abuse. Also, our surveys on sexual assualt/date rape indicate the detrimental impact of alcohol in cases of sexual misconduct.” Worth addedthat alcohol’stendency to lower inhibitions also makes for a lot of problems with regretted sex and unsafe sex. lcohol abuse concerns administrators “AIDS is a big concern,” said Worth. “But who wants herpes, genital warts, or chlamydia? If you’re drunk and out of control, a condom is the last thing you think about.” Academic problems often stem from alco- hol abuse. Worth said that in a report by the University of Minnesota, studies showed that students with a GPA below 2.5 were three times more likely to have drunk to intoxication within the past month than those whose GPAs were higher than 3.5. Dean Howison said that he usually becomes aware of students with alco- hol problems when they are flunking out of school. “What it takes too often is for the person who needs help to hit rock bottom,” said Howison. “In a way colleges are pretty good at dealing with extreme situations. We are working with people who know they are hurting. But the person who abuses alcohol on a regular basis doesn’t see it as a problem.” But Podlas said that W&L students often turn to alcohol to relieve classroom pressures. “Students deal with a lot of self esteem and stress problems by turning to alcohol,” said Podlas. “A lot of self-esteem problems turn into an alcohol problem.” On the positive side, however, I-Iowison said that there has been a decline in highly abusive behavior in recent years. “We’ve gotten word out to students so that friends are looking out for friends,” said Howison. “It has helped to reduce the extreme problems.” Worth and University Health Educator Jan Kaufman are analyzing the data from last year’s alcohol use survey. When those results come in, more will be understood about the character of alcohol and drinking on campus. But for now, Worth, peer counselors and other student leadership groups such as the Student-Athlete Mentors and fraternity presidents are all work- ing to provide a support network for those who find they do have an alcohol problem. Educa- - tion programs are developing to address the problem as well. “The only way to manage [the problem] is through education,” said Podlas. Butler agreed. “We’re not trying to shove this down peoples’ throats,” Butler said. “But we want to make people aware of alcohol’s effects on you. We can’t tell people what to do. So we’re trying to take the approach that we’ll give you some- thing to think about.” Worth concluded that drinking in general at W&L is not the problem. Irresponsible drink- ing and drinking to excess are the problems. “I hope the student body doesn’t think that the administration is the grinch that stole party- ing,” said Worth. “Have fun but be safe.” ON THE SHOULDERS , or GIANTS ‘THE CAMPAIGN FOR 0 Washington and lee ... .,-.a.,.......,._ ..-. .... fl-...-..—.,-.-...4—w...«.;-».....-,...,..—,,..,.,_,.,,\V__”_ 1 > A0 $8 7 million raised from contributions by 12,692 alumni, parents, friends, faculty, stafi’, corporate, and foundation donors. $40 million to go A to reach our goal of $127 million by July 1, 1995.

The local event, organized by English Department head Ed Cra n and W&L students Kelly Bro zman and Cameron Howell, is part of; the national Writers Harvest, the largest literary event to fight hunger in the country with over 600 readers participat- ing in over,-150 readings.

The other half will go to national agencies for hungerreliefthrough Sh@‘Ou'r"Strength, a non-profit hunger organization of people in creative fields. The Writers Harvest program started several years ago with Frederick Busch, a novelist and teacher at Colgate University. “Hghought that a reading might be a good way for creative artists — _. Rin-tum Phi October 8, 1993 to raise money to combat hun- ger,” said Prof. Craun. Because the project is under- written by American Express and the Princeton Review, “we have no overhead,” said Prof. Craun. “Every bit of money goes to com- bat hunger.” “I just think it’s a wonderful opportunity to share talent for a worthy cause,” said reader Char- lotte Morgan, who was recom- mended by the Maury Rive- Writers. Morgan read two prose po- ems about American icons Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe. The other readers were VMI professor Mary Balazs, who read three of her poems; W&L senior Jeff Mikita, who read his short story “Silent Mice”; W&L pro- fessor Dabney Stuart, who read three of his poems; and W&L senior Cameron Howell, who read six poems, including two new ones. “Rather than just get some outside author,” Prof. Craun said, “it’s what’s true to W&L to have these students and teachers read. We hope to do it again next year and build it up.” ‘I/I/6&1; zfe Photo by Joe Framtom, The Ring-tum Phi Jeff Mikita reads his short story at the Writer’s Harvest Student group schedule All organizations listed are planning Tailgate parties in the freshman parking lot before the chi psi , f°°tb31lgah‘°- M05‘ are Wnning Friday: afternoon Cocktail floats in the Homecoming pa- party T3‘ 3150- Evening Banquet Mi1101'itJ’ Students A55°ci3' Saturday: evening band party tion Sigma Saturda)“ 10 P-m- to 1 a-"‘- Saturday: afternoon Cocktail Homecoming Formal with DJ party A1911“ Phi Omega Evening party with ‘The City’ Saturday: afternoon Alumni Lambda Chi Alpha C0Ilft3i1 Pan)’ Saturday: evening party with P1 Beta Phi ‘The Big Picture’ ichi Omega I ": ; 'Phi:Kappa Psi vKaPP=* Al2.l“:'§lTh°*8..'-1-1.-. .

So let’s talk about dirty rush and rush lies. The Interfratemity Council will tell you dirty rush and lies hinder rush, and they would be right in telling you so. But that is not a complete evaluation of the situation. Has it ever occurred to the fraternity members who concoct these lies that lying, of any sort, is dishonorable behavior? Has it ever occurred to them that rush lies are just as serious as lies in the classroom? It would appear some fraternity members have never consid- ered that a lie is a lie — no matter where it is told. We do not want to condemn every fraternity member or entire fraternities. We would really like to think that the people who make up the lies you hear over and over again during rush are the minority. But, the fact that this minority gets away with their rush tactics is ridiculous. Every student signs their name to a little card that says they agree to live by the rules of the White Book. The White Book clearly says that lying is an example of dishonorable behavior. So, just a couple of weeks after the freshman hear this great speech about how honorable we are here at W&L, we give them rush. Shortly after that, some fraternity members find it necessary to lie to freshman men. Nice example we’re setting. It’s like saying, “Oh by the way, you know that big long speech we told you was really important? Well, forget it for now. This is rush, you don’t need honor for that.” Funny isn’t it, but rush lies might be the only ones that pay off; at least in the short term. A little wizardry and some manipulated truths have been known to get a house at least another pledge or two. More importantly, they’ve been known to cause another house to lose——sometimes big. But this is rush and big boys don’t cry — unless it’s about the lies some other house has been spreading. During rush, the short term, you can tell a freshmen a lie and he just might buy it and your house for warning him. But in the long run, the course of four years, he’ll know he found brothers who didn’t believe enough in honor or themselves to have conducted a clean and fair nish. Most importantly, he’ll know those brothers didn’t think they could get him to join their fraternity unless they lied about another. Maybe it’s been so long since someone tried to take the honor system outside the classroom that we no longer believe it could exist off the Hill. Our new look... If you flipped to page two to read the staff editorial, you probably got very confused. Not only that, but you probably saw some new additions to the Phi on your way to this page. For example, our comics on page six. You’re probably asking yourself “Did Kefalas hit Lotto or some- thing? How can they afford to run 14 pages and have a comics section when the EC cut their funding?” Don’t worry about it. Let us sweat thefinancial details. Right now, you are holding in your hands the first newspaper (in a series of many) that reflects the direction the Phi will be taking in the future. We have expanded our coverage, and plan to expand even further in the future. In addition to all the campus news, we are covering newswor- thy events at other area campuses. Additionally, we are covering world and national news in our new section “Be- yond the Blue Ridge.” Issue stories, such as this week’s alcohol abuse story, will also be seen quite frequently. They are intended to spark debate and put things in perspective at W&L. Feel free to let us know how you feel about these issues. We’ve also moved things around inside the news- paper for aesthetic purposes. We hope you enjoy the new look of The Ring-tum Phi. It is something we have worked very hard on and are very proud of. And yes— you get the comics, too. Quote of the week It’s not like being at the Phi Delt house. They come and get you here.

I believe this was a mistake of enormous proportions. The Trident was founded last spring term by a small group of former Ring-tum Phi staff members, disgruntled over what most of the campus saw as the Pa)’- Tliis fund has been the subject of some controversy of late because of the EC’s denial of funding to the campus chapters of the American Civil Liber- ties Union and Amnesty lntemational. The EC explained its actions by stating that these groups are ideologically and waningquality politically of our student partisan and newspaper. I thatthey are While their associated motives may PATRICK with off- havebeenhon- campus or- orable, their MCDERMUIT9 ganizations actions were 994 that hold unnecessary ~ strongpoliti— and the funding .~— cal opinions. they received This deci- for this new sionispredi- publication was, at best, questionable. The editors of The Trident, desper- ate for start-up funding for their new publication, turned to the Campus Re- porting Committee (the CRC). The CRC is an off-campus committee that is not affiliated with the university. It was established a few years ago by W&L students as the publisher of The Spectator, an ultra—right wing publica- tion. The editors of The Trident, by ac- cepting funding from the CRC, made it the publisher of the paper. If the editors of The Trident had been content to exist on their advertising income and on fundingfromthe CRC,this allwould have been perfectly acceptable. The problem is, The Trident decided to request a budget from the Student Ac- tivities Fund, a fund into which we all cated on the belief that you and I, as W&L students, should not have to pay to support the political agenda of an off-campus or national organization with which we may disagree. Now, without taking sides in the great ACLU vs. EC debate, I must say that the committee’s decision to fund The Tri- dent seems to contradict the spirit of their previous statements. While The Trident may not be vo- calizing the opinions of its publisher quite as dramatically as The Spectator does, it is still controlled by an off- campus organization with strong po- litical views. Is it really conceivable that the CRC would simply give its money away without having any con- trol over how it is spent and what is said with it? The editors and the business manager of The Trident say yes. They told the Executive Committee that they are merely a branch of the CRC, a branch, they added, which is not con- nected to the CRC. I would very much like to see a branch that is not con- nected to its source. Has anyone seen any free-floating tree branches lately? No, of course not. And why? Because a branch, by definition, is connected to its source in order to survive. Without the tree, the branch dies. Without the CRC, The Trident would do the same. So, the question remains, why did the Executive Committee fund an or- few blacks who got in on a quota caus- ing trouble, and of those who disagree with them as politically correct radi- cals who ought to be run-offcampfis. Is this what your university is all about, intolerance and hatred for anyone or anything different? I don’t think so, and I don’t think that you want to have your Executive Committee providing such an organization with funding. Does the CRC have a right to’say whatever it wants in a publication it funds? If they are funding the publica- tion, absolutely. Should we be paying ganization with these off-campus po- for it? Absolutely not! liticalconnections The fact that when they had de- M________ the CRC’s bias nied ‘funding to Why the EXecu_ isconservatiozeis two other groups for the same rea- sons? Only the committee mem- bers can answer that, and perhaps we should ask them to. As stu- dents, we must ask ourselvesifwere- ally want to be tive Committee fund an ‘ organization ‘with these off-campus political connections when they had denied funding to two other groups for the same reasons? really not the is- sue here. The is- sue is whether we should be paying for them to express that bias. Takengis a whole,thepolicy of the Executive Committee not to fund partisan funding a newspa- per that is con- trolled by the CRC. Isn’t one Spectator enough for this campus? Let ’s not forget that the same people who publish your weekly edition of The Trident also publish The Specta- tor. The Spectator has brought you articles that spoke of campus sexual assault as a myth drummed up by over- sexed feminists, of race relations on campus as being nothing more than a organizations is a good one, but it must apply to both sides. If we are to deny funding to groups which have been traditionally thought of as “liberal,” we must also deny fund- ing to traditionally “conservative” groups. This is just common sense. It is not an attempt to destroy any of these groups, on the contrary, they add much needed debate to the campus. We §m- ply need to be consistent. University stands at crossroads Last week U.S. News and World Report released its annual rankings of colleges which upgraded W&L to 20th among small liberal arts co1leges.The rise comes from the fact that W&L has more students who graduated in the top 10% of their class, a lower acceptance rate, and a higher SAT average. But while such statistical data has im- proved, W&L’s traditions, its most valuable assets, have exists. been gradually vanishing. W&L is a great school be- cause its traditions provide a unique educational experi- ANDREW OLMEM, W&L alumni off campus. Without the bond of a common history, alumni have no reason to contribute to W&L, since the W&L they attended no longer Reducing the number of men on campus would also adversely affect other W&L traditions. Since the university took control of the fraternity system through the renaissance program, it is the administration’s responsibil- ity to see that its policies do not adversely affect any house. By adopting a 50/50 ratio the contributes so much to its character.We should be proud that W&L’s character makes it unlike an- other college and shouldn’t fear that it turns off prospective students. Students come to W&L for its unique character, not because it has a 50/50 ratio. The more we waste time debating the 6W40 ratio, the more we neglect taking steps to positively change W&L. Allocating more money for study abroad programs and financial aid, or providing houses for the sororities, are actions that would improve the university. Instead of acting on such practical improvements, resources are wasted on studying the 60/40 ratio.

Not eqry student may find it appealing or benefi- . cial, but a university throw out all its benefits, just to emulate other so called “top” schools. No attempt is even made to try and understand why such a policy actually contributes to W&L’s exceptional educational environment. The 60/40 ratio is a product of co-education. It allows women to attend W&L while keeping alive W&L’s all-male heritage. Co-education could have mitted to geographic di- versity.

Spos would like to start this week’s column by issuing a death threat: ANTED—Dead or alive (but pre erably dead and chopped up into little pieces with a La Machine food processor) — that freshman guy who went around to all 16 fraternities and made every Greek male on this campus sick. Spos is offering a re- ward here. Whoever can bring me the head of this person will receive the $5 in dimes lying on my dresser, as well as my undying gratitude. As you might be able to guess, Spos has been victimized by the freshman class’ cruel Typhoid Mary. I spent the better part of last week in bed, occa- siorfially coming out of my room to eat meals or to gather information about the E.C. for my alter—ego, the mild- mannered news editor, Tom Hespos. (Incidentally, I would like to apologize to Professors Craun, Kozak, Richardson and John for my poor class attendence. l’ll (art coming to class again once my doctor gives me some cool drugs that can nullify this sensation that my si- nuses are filled with butterscotch pud- ding.) I remember the days of my youth when being sick was actually fun— yoigot to stay home from school and think about the torture your classmates were enduringwhile you watched “He- Man” or some similar mindless car- toon show. These days, staying home sick isn’t nearly as fun. Sure, you get to think about the torture your class- mates are enduring, but you hope to God that someone is taking good notes (and is willing to let you photocopy them). I remember vividly how this whole sickness thing started. I was procrasti- nating (as usual) by playing John Linus Pauling’s theories on vitamin-c, I was pretty ticked. The next morning can only be de- scribed as pure hell. I first awoke at 5:30 in the morning for no apparent reason and realized that the little tickle in the back of my throat had somehow transformed into a painful sore throat with accompanying annoying cough. I went downstairs to get a glass of O.J., just in case Mr. Pauling happened to be correct about the vitamin-c thing. I settled back into bed at around Madden Football six a.m., bliss- on my friend S 3 COI[llllg 0 fullyignorantof E’‘°’S5eg“ 0”‘ class again once my Wm“ was ‘° esis. Just as my , come, heroic New york doctor gives me some Thecbckra- Giants chalked up a field goal against the evil P i t t s b u r g h Steelers, I began to feel this tick- ling sensation in pudding. cool drugs that can nullify this sensation that my sinuses are filled with butterscotch dio alarm went off at precisely 8 a.m. As I reached over to turn it off, I wonderedaloud which one of the back of my throat. I remem- ber thinking about what a pain it would be if I were to be sick on Thursday night (which is when we friendly Ring- tum Phi people stay up all night doing secret newspaper production stuff). I remember looking for my vitamin-c pills and not being able to find them because one of my fraternity brothers flushed the pills down the toilet so that he could use the container as a dice cup for “three man.” As a firm believer in my friends had convinced me to drink enough beer on a school night to leave me with a crippling hangover. Then I remembered that I hadn’t been drinking the night before. It was horrible. It felt like someone had jammed a hot glue gun up my nose and emptied its contents into my si- nuses. My lungs didn’t feel so hot either. I briefly considered getting out of bed to go to class, but 1 instead laughed to myself at the notion and Spos seeks W&L’s Typhoid Mary PAGE 9 once again cruised off into dream land. At around 2 p.m. I awoke with a start. One of my derelict fraternity brothers thought it might be amusing to kick pennies under my closed door and into my dresser, thus making a stupid plinking noise and waking me up. (In- cidentally, this particular frat rat, Doug, is the kind of guy who wipes boogers on your doorknob for fun. Wait’ll he finds out what Spos did to his tooth- brush, heh-heh...) After clubbing Doug over the head with my Brit Lit textbook (a weighty volume of several hundred pages), I attempted to-go back to sleep, but found it impossible. Eventually, I was forced to leave my bed in order to participate in Rush, which is the sick social tradi- tion that started this whole thing in the first place. Think about it— Shaking hands with over two hundred people is - just about the greatest way to transmit disease. And yet we do it each and every year, like its no big deal. Anyway, I am still sick, even as I write this column (Sunday night about 7). I am also getting increasingly pissed just knowing that some freshman out there is going to read this and laugh uproariously, knowing that he infected almost the entire male Greek popula- tion. I think I will increase the award to $6.11 by including all of the pennies that Doug kicked under my door. Mis- ter Spreader-of-Disease, whoever you are, I will find you. Prepare to make peace with your gods. MY VIEW MICHAEL HEWLETT, ’96 One day when I got tired of looking at Oprah, I turned to see what Maury Povich was doing. Well, suffice it to say, the show was pretty heated, which of course caught my interest. People were yelling about reparations for blacks after 400 years of slavery. They wanted that 40 acres and a mule their ancestors didn’t get after the Civil War. During the course of the show, a white girl stood up and said she could not understand why blacks were so anggy. She believed that the struggle was over, and that blacks should be happy because they have Black History Month. I just shook my head. Why should I be happy when Black History Month occurs ;in the shortest month of the year? Why should I jump for joy when it took approximately 30 years to establish a national holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr.? Should - I bqglad when only one month is set aside for black history and the rest for white history? Is the black experience that limited? Somehow I don’t think that is what Carter G. Woodson had in mind when he established Negro History Week in 1926. Think about it. In all those American history classes you’ve taken, what have you really learned abo t the contributions of blacks. Not much except that blacks were slaves, that there was a Civil Rights Movement, and that in 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream. Oh, and Rosa Parks refused to get up. At least that’s all I can remember learning in my history class. Well, there was something about Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and Booker T. Washing- ton. Butwhat about Malcolm X? What about Marcus Garvey or W.E.B. du Bois? What about the Buffalo Soldiers or the Tuskegee Airmen? Did you know that Garret Morgan, a black man, invented the gas mask and the stop light? Or that Dr. Daniel Hale Williams was the first man to operate on the human heart? And who was the first woman to own a bank? Maggie L. Walker, a black woman. And maybe, just maybe, there was more to the Civil Rights Movement than Martin Luther King, Jr. Ever heard of Fannie Lou Hamer, Dorothy Height, or Ella Baker? Besides, Shirley Chisholm ran for presi- dent long before Jesse Jackson even talked about “Nationtime!” And by the way, that liberation flag you always see with the colors red, black, and green was created. by Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the early 1900’s: Red stands for black blood, black stands for black pride, and green stands for black hope. Isn’t all this just as American as George Washing- ton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Abraham Lincoln? Why wasn’t I taught about this when I took American history? All my life l’ve heard what white people have done for this country. I learned all about the Founding Fathers and how they created that magnificent document, the Constitution of the United States. I learned about the Declaration of Indepen- dence which declared that all men are created equal. Everything was white, white, white. But I could never find the black people. I’m not saying that white people didn’t help build this country, but what I am saying is that white Americans didn’t do it alone, not Celebrate black history each month when black slaves were in the field picking cotton and tobacco from sunup to sundown. ' Marcus Garvey once said that a people without its history is like a tree without its root. My ances- tors were not just slaves. As W.E.B. du Bois once said, blacks “have fought their (white people’s) battles, shared their sorrow, mingled our blood with theirs, and generation after generation have pleaded with a headstrong, careless people to despise not . Justice, Mercy, and Truth, lest the nation be smitten with a curse....Would America have been America without her Negro people?” What some people don’t seem to get is that black history is American history. Blacks are not the only people who need to learn about it. All Americans should learn about it. Afrocentricity has nothing to do with it. Black history is not just about what white people did to black people —— it’s about what black people have done for themselves and for this coun- try. Black history is about dignity, self-respect, pride, and triumph just as much as it is about oppression, racism, and tragedy. The black experience is rel- evant because it is part of our collective human experience. That is what history should ultimately be —— the history of human experience. Learning about black history could go a long way in smashing racial stereotypes. It could lead to better understanding and greater insight into the problems of racism. Black history in its truest sense is more than 28 or 29 days out of the year. It’s a life- long endeavor. So if you have some time, stop by the Maya Angelou Library in Chavis House and pick up a book on black history. We both have a lot to learn. LETTERS U.S. News & World Report ranking means little Toe the editor: ' hat’s with all the ooohing and aaahing over W&L’s unremarkable 20th—place finish in the latest “top colleges” issue of U.S. News and World Report of which a more fitting name, anyway would be U.S. Lies and World Propaganda)? All the baffling talk about how they come up with that list really means this: it’s made up the night before by §bunch of half-assed journalists relying on no discoverable criteria - apart from what schools are giving certain journalists’ dumb kids admissions breaks that year, or what schools have promised to 4‘ Interviews and Photos By Joe Framptom certain journalists big-paying campus appearances in the near future. If you’re naive enough to doubt what I’ve just said, think about this for a second. On this year’s list, Haverford weighs in at number 7, while Bryn Mawr ranks a humble 15th. Now, as anyone who knows anything about those two schools will tell you, students at each are always making the short trip to the other campus to take classes and participate in special programs and what- not. I once worked in Italy with a Haverford archeol- ogy major who’d done most of his meaningful academic work at Bryn Mawr, had twice studied overseas under their auspices, and had an archeol- ogy-type job with them. _ The point is, Haverford students and the Celticly- named Bryn Mawr’s fine ladies get essentially the exact same educational experience. So why the 8- place gap? Fine “report” there, U.S. News.

Student Body Notice Four freshmen students were found in violation of university policy for smoking marijuana and drinking on campus.

The FLC was selected by Dean Mamflng, following an application and interview. “If you look at the leadership credentials of this group, you will find that they bring a wealth of leadership experience from their high school backgrounds to the university,” said Manning. The 11-member council’s first project was the building of a float for Saturday’s HfQne- coming parade. It incorporates a replica of Old George, which has been given to the freshmen for their use on their float . - “The freshmen have been really coopera- tive. We raised over $125 from the dorms to go towards building of the float,” said council member Erin Dougherty. '0 After freshman elections in two weeks, the FLC plans a survey to see what activities the class is interested in participating. The elected freshman president and vice president will head the FLC. Members of the FLC include Sara Benson, Adrienne Bryant, Ashley Deaton, Erin Dougherty, Steve Fanning, Amy Gorham, Heather Hicks, Hollis Leddy, Justin St. Clair, Alvin Townley, and Gill Uhlhom. Alternates are Kristin Manion, Marcus Rayner, and Allison Simmonds. “With our activities, we hope to keep our class close,” Dougherty said. . I D.

How Student Discounts and Price Protection contribute to upward growth. A variety of factors have been 1 suggested as contributing to the economic growth of students, including (1) more lottery winners between the ages of 18 and 22, (2) a 37% increase on earnings from bottle and can returns, (3) more students doubling earnings in the lightning round of game shows, and (4) the Citibank Classic Visa” card. It’s this last one, however, that affects most students. 1] The Citibank Classic Visa card offers immediate savings to student cardmembeis. You can save up to 26% on long distance calls versus AT&T with the free Citibank Calling Service“ from MCI.‘ And you can capitalize on a $20 Airfare Discount for domestic flights? Savings on mail order pur- g chases, sports equipment, magazines and music i‘ also abound. Maximize these savings with a low variable interest rate of 15.40/03 and no annual fee, and you can significantly improve your personal - .

Economists believe Washington was unhappy because he felt he could have received a better deal on war supplies. If he used a 1 Citibank Classic Visa card, he would have been assured of getting the best price and probably to be gr0SS). Put another Way, One , would have been happier (Artist rendering of how he would have appeared on the dollar.) even have enough savings to reinvest in a CD or two (the musical kind, of course). 11 On the way to the record store, or any store for that matter, take stock of the 3 services concerned with purchases made on Monarch Notes® Version: the Citibank Classic card. Citibank Price Protection assures one of the best prices. See the same item “*6 Citlbank Classic V153 93'“ will be there for you with special stu- advertised in print for less, within 60 days, and Citibank will refund the difference up to $150.4 To protect . dent discounts, no fee, and a low if these investments, Buyers Security“ can cover them against accidental damage, fire or theft (ordinarily rate. . .so your own econmny will bemorelikeaboomthanabust.

Carrying it can help prevent fraud or any hostile takeover of your card. (Insiders speculate that it makes quite a good student ID, too.) Even if one’s card is stolen, or perhaps lost, The Lost Wallet“ Service can replace your card usually within 24 hours. ‘ll So never panic. As we all know, panic, such as in the Great Panics of 1837, 1857, and 1929, can cause a downswing in a market. But with 24-hour Customer Service, there’s no reason for it. A question about your account is only an 800 number away. (Panic of the sort experienced the night before Finals is something else again.) 11 Needless to say, building a credit history with the support of such services can only be a boost. You’re investing in futures—that house, that future car, etc. And knowing the Citibank Classic Visa card is there in your wallet should presently give you a sense of security, rare in tbday’s—how shall we say?—fickle market. 11 To apply, call. Students don’t need a job or a cosigner. And call if you’d simply like your photo added to your regular Citibank Classic Visa card.

Following a harsh 0-4 start, the W&L men’s soccer team has rebounded to play improved ball in their recent games. While the overall record stands be- low the .500 mark, the team has gradu- ally improved in their last few games to post wins in tight games. During the last week, the Generals posted a 1-0 OT victory against Guilford. This fol- lowed a 4-1 loss to Randolph-Macon. The team is led by Shag Drewry with three goals on the year. On the whole, W&L relies on a balanced at- tack with 13 different players posting goals on the year. The Generals have the potential to pick up the pace and make a charge in the conference. Washington and Lee sports have come out of the gate with a stumbling gate on the whole, but at least the men’s soccer team has made a concerted ef- fort to build a successful season. If the Generals maintain their balance and build upon their strengths, they will be atough opponent for any team through- out the season. Now that the team is enjoying a 5 game homestand, they need to make up the ground which was lost at the start of the year. On Saturday, the Generals play host to Dickinson College with hopes of beginning their resurgence. It remains to be seen whether or not the Generals can maintain their recent suc- cess. lf they can, then the W&L men’s soccer team might still make some noise in the General sports world. With some skill and good fortune, the team might just accomplish this goal. .e-...e~=' fig’.

Nelson St. Cross-country Is anyone surprised? Yes, once again, sophomore Josephine Schaeffer set a course record and won the field of her cross country meet. For the fourth straight time, Schaeffer set the record at the Frostburg Invitational last weekend in a field of 16 teams, leading her team to fourth place overall. Schaeffer has yet to race a course in which she did not win and set a course record. Saturday’s time was her second- best of the season, 18:50. Sophomore Amy Mears, finishing in eighth place, ran a time of 20:35 On the men’s side, sophomore Brad Paye finished in 25th place. Paye led the Generals to a eighth place in the Frostburg meet. Second finisher for the Generals was freshman Alvin Townley. Tomorrow, the men will travel to Lynchburg for an invitational, but the women will remain at home to train through the weekend. Volleyball Falling off their exceptional start, the volleyball team finished in third place at the Emory Invitational. With a 2-4 record for the weekend, the Generals fell to 7-8. The team began the season with a 5-2 record, equally the best start in school history. W&L defeated Agnes Scott and Methodist, and lost to Principia, Sewannee, Oglethorpe and Emory. This weekend the Generals travel to the Goucher tournament.
