The results of the 1993 sexual attitudes survey re- vealed these and other attitudes of both men and women of the freshman class. The sexual attitudes survey is j a ggquestion survey developed by e Virginia State Task Force on campus sexual assault. Vir- ginia studied campus sexual as- sault by surveying 5000 college students across the state. lnaddi— tion to personal questions, the WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY pertaining to sexual attitudes. W & L freshmen, in the spring of 1992, were asked the same 25 questions. “As we evaluated these 25 items the first year, we noticed that there were 10 questions where Washington and Lee stu- dents had some percentages in their responses that needed to be addressed in educational pro- grams,” said Associate Dean of Students Anne Schroer-Lamont. When the State Task Force conducted the survey, they sur- veyed not only freshman, but also sophomores, juniors, seniors, and graduate students. “Becauseweare studyingonly the freshman class, we’re deal- ing with a lower level of maturity with our freshmen more than we studied in the statewide survey,” said Dean Schroer-Lamont. LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA NOVEMBER 12, 1993 sexual attitudes In 1993, 15.9 percent ofW & Lfreshman men said they agreed or strongly agreed that most men accused of rape are really inno- cent. This was slightly down from last year’s freshman male response of18.1 percent, but still higher than the overall state _male response of 5 percent. Zero per- cent of freshman women agreed with this statement. At 35.5 percent, more than a third of W & Lfreshman men felt . that if a man does not have sex with a woman who wants to, his masculinity may be questioned.

Black studies major maybe in works Sophomore trying to gauge interest for new program 0 By DAVID WILMINGTON Phi STAFF WRITER interest in Black studies five years ago when he first began teaching at W&L. Although most students have stopped thinking about organizing their classes, one sophomore is looking for more. John Branam has attempted to gaige student, faculty and adminis- tration support to create a Black Stud- ies major at Washington and Lee. After talking to students, Branam said he “really saw a need for that type of program. It would add a lot to the curriculum...there’s a lack in the diwrsity of education at W&L.” Though no official guidelines have been set, Branam has a general idea of the form for the major. After the re- quired courses, Branam said the ma- jor would draw from almost every current department on campus. The cowses for a Black Studies major would focus on aspects of traditional majors that concern black experience. Jarvis Hall, assistant professor of politics, also believes there might be enough interest to begin a new major. Hall said there was not as much 1? Branam “I mentioned it and people thought there was not a constituency,” he said. Hall believes the combination of courses in a Black Studies program would allow professors to make certain concepts clearer than if the courses were spread across different depart- ments. “The importance of black experi- ence to all Americans and the con- nectedness of it could be better un- derstood by bringing the different related aspects together under one major,” he said. The creation of an official major would be an important step toward a more thorough educational experi- ence, Hall said. ‘‘It would almost guarantee a com- mittal of resources,” Hall said ‘‘In many of the classes—english, history and some politics — there sometimes lacks a diversity of thought,” Branam said. “That’s one of the things a Black Studies major would bring. Having a Black Studies Major would not only bring diversity of thought, but also a more diverse student body.” The major would offer something to everyone at W&L, not just to black students, Branam said. “STeients, black and white, are looking for exposure to thoughts they hadn’t thought before. That’s what a college experience should be — expanding your hori- zons,” Branam said. Branam said the theory behind a Black Studies major is clearly inclusive, not exclusive. “By understanding what it means to be black is also to learn what it means to be white,” Branam said. The large amount of interest in the specifically black- oriented classes already taught at W&L makes Branam confident that the student body might be ready for the major. Senior Allison Lewis, Branam’s classmate in Profes- sor Demaree Peck’s African-American Literature class and senior Executive Committe representative, supports the idea. . . “Obviously there is a need,” said Lewis. ‘‘I ’ve noticed that the last few classes at W&L have had a different flavor , they’re more diverse...l think our student body could use some more diversity. We’re a pretty homog- enous student body.” ‘ Lewis sees practical advantages for having a Black I-vsee BLACK STUDIES, page 3 Sex, contraception, and STD’s.

Studies show: a drink a day may keep the doctor away Researchers in Atlanta, Boston and Oakland are beginning to admit that nondrinkers might reduce their risk of heart disease if they have a drink of wine with their dinner. Their study focuses on a comparison between the heart disease rate in France, where tradition places wine on the dinner table, and the United States. The French rate of heart disease is less than half of the American rate. In the United States, 200 people die of heart disease for every 100,000 people per year. The French rate is 75 deaths per 100,000 per year. Researchers are beginning to accept that French wine- drinking may be linked to the reduced rate.

NEWS The Rin -tum Phi November 12 1999 VMI, W&L students gather at Zollman’s for first mixer By EMILY BAKER and MELISSA SAWYER of TheiRing-tum Phi Stafi‘ They spent three hundred dollars on security, but the party went off without a hitch. The event: the first joint W&L-VMI party. “Go out there and meet somebody new.” With this announcement, the band Lost in the Super- market began playing at Zollman’s on Sunday. Approximately fifty Vir- ginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee students gathered at Zollman’s at a party sponsored by the Preston Society, a group organized to promote better relations be- tween students of the two cam- puses. Jason Dunn, a W&L student and a founding mem- ber of the society, said that he was very pleased with the event and that he hoped many more such “mixers” would follow. Dunn’s twin brother, Martin, is a student at VMI. Atticus Gill, a freshman at W&L, said that “it was a good time to throw down the ste- reotypes.” Partygoers appeared to en- joy themselves and the event ended without any complica- tions. , Many of the students agreed that getting to know each other on an individual basis lead them to diminish the traditional ani- mosity. Gill blamed the bad relations on “bad press and fights that get hyped up.” He said that individual disagree- ments are often seen as school issues. George Stringer, a third class student. or a junior, at VMI, said that coaches at both schools encourage rivalries among students. Stringer, how- ever, said that the administra- tors and faculty of the schools did not encourage the tensions or the open fights between their students. The Preston Society spent approximately $1400 on the event at Zollman’s. To build on the success of this event, as members hope, the Society will have to go to the EC to ask for more money. Bryan Patterson, lead singer of Lost In the Supermarket, said relations between the two schools have not changed much since he graduated from W&L in 1991. “I think (the mixer) can be a great success,” he said, at the start of the party. “There are definitely a lot of miscon- ceptions about each others’ schools.” .< .=-W-» Photo by Elizabeth Greenhouse, special to The Ring-tum Phi W&L students and VMI cadets partied together to the sounds of Lost in the Supermarket Sunday.

Reynolds, speaks to students about the secrets of the tobacco lobby in the Leyburn Library's Northen Auditorium on Tuesday. Despite his anti-smoking stance, Reynolds is a reformed smoker, having quit a dozen times since he started smoking as a teenager. By YAI3Iz SEDGHI Phi CONTRIBUTING WRl1'ER Why would Patrick Reynolds, grandson of the tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds fight the tobacco industry? On Nov. 9 in Northen Auditorium, Reynolds revealed the events and Ino- tives that have led him to where he is today. When Reynolds was three his par- ents divorced and he did not see his father for six years. At the age of nine, Reynolds finally wrote a’ letter to his father: “Dear Dad, I want to meet you. Love your son, Patrick.” 0 After being forwarded from place to place, the letter miraculously reached his father’s hand and he was sent for. Unfortunately, as a result of smoking, his father was dying of emphysema. Over the next seven years Reynolds saw his father only fiv_e more times and each time he saw his father slowly wither further away. Watching his father die did not stop Reynolds from smoking. Like many other teenagers, he started smoking to look older and impress girls. Today, after twelve attempts at quitting, Reynolds is finally smokefree. In 1986, Reynolds and a friend went to Washington D.C. with a friend to make donations for the Republican Senate Campaign Fund. During this time, Reynolds met Senator Bob Packwood and innocently asked him why cigarette taxes are so low in the United States— the lowest of any in- dustrial nation. Packwood asked Reynolds to come down to a commit- tee meeting in which they were dis- cussing the expiring 16 cent federal excise tax. He also asked Reynolds if he would like to testify before the com- mittee. At the time, Reynolds found the idea quite distressing and unfathomable. When he went back to California, Reynolds started learning about tobacco issues. He found out about a possible bill banning cigarette advertising in the U.S. As a result, he called up the American Cancer Society and other institutions to testify on their behafi. After this encounter, Reynolds claims that he was besieged with requests for speaking engagements. Reynolds explained that for the most part, his family does not worry about his outspokenness. At first he admitted that because of the family’s previogs experience with the media, they were worried about being embarrassed. They were also afraid that their stock values would plummet. Reynolds sold his ~ R.J. Reynolds stock back to the family in 1979. Reynolds went on to discuss t e strength of the tobacco lobby in Was - ington and the problems with advertis- ing. In reference to the 1992 Presiden- tial campaigns in which both Bush and Clinton received record amounts of contributions from the tobacco lobby, Reynolds said “No corporation ev§r gave money without getting songethi g in return.” Reynolds, deeply disturbed by the tobacco industry’s targeting of teens and minorities, criticized the lack of federal regulation. “Ninety percent of all who smoke are addicted by age 19,” said Reynolds. He said he supports banning cigarette advertising and increasing the smok- ing age to 21. “Tobacco advertising is an abuse of Freedom of.Speech,” Reynolds added. According to Reynolds, since the 1960s, smoking has decreased in fire U.S. and has had a worldwide increase of 73 percent. Reynolds believes that this increase is due to the targeting the Third World and the Far East popula- tions that are eager for the status that America brings.- “This is the greatest crime of we 20th century,” Reynolds exclaimed. \ Photo by Bethany Smith, The Ring-rum Phi Ruth Lewis and Beverly Lorig of CD&P can assist students in their job searches. i OCR::/Vol_093/WLURG39_RTP_19931112/WLURG39_RTP_19931112_003.2.txt - Ring-tum Phi, November 12,1 993 PAGE 3 exual attitudes survey results released ..

According to Branam, there are already enough faculty members to teach the major. He specifically singled out Hall as “most qualified to teach Black Studies at W&L.” Lewis said she believes the hardest resource to come by will be support from the administra- tion. “I think most of the resistance will come from the administration. They’re very con- cemed with tradition,” Lewis said. “I think the traditions at W&L should be the Honor System and academic excellence.” Branam said the efforts of Associate Dean of Students Anece McCloud and Dean of Stu- dents David Howison indicate the administra- tion might be receptive to his plan. “The university has been gathering most of the black students togetherwith Dean McCloud and Dean Howison to get impressions of their experience at W&L,” Branam said. “I’ve talked at some length with Dean Howison and he is very interested but only mildly supportive.” Branam said he has realistic ideas of what goals to pursue with the program. “We’re open-minded. We know we’re not just going to fly in here with Black Nationalism or something,” Branam said. “The main goal is to open people’s minds.” Branam’s current plan is to measure support for his idea. “We’re trying to build a consensus that this would really add something to W&L and then find students interested to sit down with other students and faculty and find out what they believe should be included.” Branam calls the creation of a Black Studies major “a pretty major move for W&L but nonetheless a necessary one.” “I think it’s a no-lose situation,” he said. rces needed to start a new major are prob- Shop for Pappagallo Ladies’ Shoes, Clothing, and Accessories . oppugoggot Hours: 10 - 5:30 Mon. - Sat. 23 N.

Its powlarity with tourists may also account for its long lasting existence. As you might expect, the parade follows a specific pattern every week. The first to march onto the parade deck, the field in front of the barracks, is Band Company. The drummers perform a cadence to keep the cadsts in step. From the three arches of the barracks emerge the nine other companies, separated- into three battallions of three compa- nies each. Each company is led by a company commander in front and a cadet guidon who holds the company guidon, the flag with the company’s letter. e companies are named alphabet, Alpha through India, after the military alphabet used to clarify letters in radio communications. The companies line up in alphabetical order facing the reviewing stand where the officer of the review, often Superintendant Major Gen- eral John Knapp, supervises the parade. Also facing the companies is the Regimen- tal Staff,,a group ofseniorcadets headed by Regimen'tal’Commander' Jon 'Laude'r.~ Lauder delivers the commands of the parade. , The parade colors, the United States, Vir- flanked by two others with rifles who march between the companies and the Regimental 'I'he’Regimental Adjutant, another member of the Regimental Staff, directs the cadets to fix : bayonets on the end of their_rifles.

According to tradition, the cadets’ coatees, dress blouses with tails and gold buttons worn by upperclassman during the parade, have unsewn tails to remind them that cadets at New Market had to cut the tails of their uniforms to make bandages to care for the wounded. The Regimental Commander leads the Corps in Rifle Manual, a routine that emphasizes precision and perfect timing. The band is featured during Sound Off, when it marches back and forth in front of the reviewing stand playing marches with strong drum beats. Band Company Commander George Schreffler leads the band and some- times acts as drum major. The band practices its rather complicated marching routines on Tues- day afternoons on the parade deck and its music on Thursdays after dinner. The Officers’ Call is next, in which all company officers and their guidons come for- ward to face the Regimental Staff. Historicall, this call gave the commander the chance to give instructions to his officers before a battle. The next activity, after the band plays the National Anthem, is Pass and Review. At this point the companies pass before the officer of the review as the band plays a cadence.Each company, lined up from tallest to shortest, marches by with two of its three platoons since many of the cadets are usaually absent because of sport functions. The rats, freshmen cadets, arein a separate platoon because they have not yet been fitted for coatees and still wear grey blouses. As the cadets pass by the reviewing stand, they turn their heads at the command “eyes right” to honor those officers on the reviewing stand. The cadets then return to barracks in forma- tion as the band plays another cadence. With little variation, the cadets dedicate almost an hour every Friday afternoon to honor this mili- tary tradition. “Even though the parades are sometimes a hassle to us, the parents and community seem to enjoy them,” said cadet Vein Wilkens. Fashion mavens take note: don’t expect much radical trend setting on the Washington and Lee campus this winter. It shouldn’t surprise anyone to find students here are ending fall with a traditional look.

Less than 600 students, about 38 percent of the undergraduates, bothered to respond to a survey about a system which governs their every action on this campus. The majority of students who completed the survey did so with the least amount of time and effort. The majority of students answered only “yes” or “no” without elaborating beyond that. Few filled in the area asking for additional comments with only those with a strong opinion using short answers to get their point across. Granted, many students will never be in the position of facing an honor trial, but that does not mean we should ignore revision of the system. Just about the only good thing that can come from simple one—word answers will be the committee’s calculation of percent- ages. But is that all one’s opinion should count for ? Washington & Lee students have never been quick to become involved and participate whether it be filling out a survey, cam- paigning for office, or voting. But one would think students would be quick to take part in the review of a system which makes W&L what it is. Whether they did not respond because of a lack of time or, dare we say, interest, this time W&L students’ apathy caused ’ them to bow out of the debate when they should have been actively participating. The Honor System at W&L is one of the most enduring aspects of our campus. Little else during a student’s career here at W&L will have as great an impact on them as the Honor System. Without the Honor System, W&L is little more than an obscure small liberal arts college in a small town. The trick with the Honor System is: it works effectively only as long as the students actively participate in the system. But this student body sent a loud and clear message that students cannot be bothered to review the Honor System. Perhaps we do not deserve the system. Certainly student apathy indicates the system is little more than words in a book we no longer care about. If there is a time to discard apathy and make time to participate, it is now. Any student that cares about W&L should care about the White Book review. Car 54...Where are you ? Last month, we ran a front-page story about car stereo thieves on campus. This week’s story about the theft of a law student’s truck is just the next link in the chain. Lexington Chief of Police Bruce Beard will tell you car thefts are a rarity in Lexington. But three attempts, one of which was successful, were recently made to steal student automobiles from campus parking lots. So what does this signify? Perhaps local thieves have heard how lax security is over at W&L. Perhaps they have heard W&L freshmen have to park their cars way out in BFE, even beyond the audible range of a car alarm. ‘Maybe they have. heard security patrols of thewcampus parking lots » are feW.,%lidv~f3I, between: 1‘ " ‘ . ’ , I 1 I I‘ ‘ ‘ In any case, thieves seem to have specifically targeted W&Lias an easy mark for thefts. Admittedly, W&L’s Honor System gives members of the W&L community a laid-back attitude toward locking their cars, but precautions can be taken. First, W&L Security needs to step up the patrols of the campus lots. If campus security officers patrol parking lots more often, thieves will probably think twice before trying to break into a student’s automobile. Maybe after prolonged security patrols, the thieves will get the message that maybe W&L is not such an easy tar et. gsecond, students who have to park their cars in isolated lots need to take more precautions. Let’s face it—these isolated campus parking lots just don’t cut it. The freshman lot is a thieves’ paradise -— no one around to hear a car alarm, no one around to see a window being broken, no one around to see the license plate of a getaway vehicle. The Wood’s Creek lot is not much better. Our suggestion: buy something like The Club, an auto theft prevention device. Any police officer will tell you, the harder it is to steal your car, the less likely a thief is to even try. . In any case, the best deterrent against campus thefts is an efficien security force. Students can’t be expected to go through their daily routine with one eye riveted on their automobile. Car 54...Where are you?

But many people . expect and fear a prolonged death on a machine in the hospital all alone and in pain. In our age individuals suffering from terminal ill- nesses can be kept alive well always present. beyond the deterioration of the quality of their life. With this possibility in each of our lives, should be entitled to make the personal decision to end their suffering and hasten their own death. , AANDREW F SCHNEIDER, ’94 Over 20 states in the U.'S. make it a crime for a doctor to assist in a suicide. Yet polls have shown that at least half of Americans support physician assisted suicide. Dr. Jack Kevorkian and his highly publicized assistance in numerous suicides has caused the Michi- gan legislature to enact the most recent statute ban- ning such acts. The Michigan law makes assistance to a suicide a felony punishable by up to four years in prison. Teresa Hobbins and Kenneth Shapiro, both termi- nally ill cancer patients, are mounting a constitutional challenge to the Michigan statute. They have been joined in their lawsuit by seven highly respected medical professionals who specialize in the treatment of chronic and terminal illnesses. Teresa Hobbins has suffered from multiple myeloma, a severe blood disease, for the past six years. Multiple myeloma, an incurable illness, spreads throughout the skeletalsystem, including the skull, leaving lytic lesions (holes in the bones), turriors and weak bones that fracture easily. Pain in her bones is Shapiro said. Moreover, Shapiro an- ticipates that the tenninal phases of his disease may involve extreme and unbearable pain and suffering. He wishes to have the option of assisted suicide open to him. Hobbins has had surgery, chemotherapy and ra- diation to treat her disease. Yet she is well aware that when their quality of life amounts to nothing. Gov emment should not be in the business of coercing u : to preserve life at all costs. That is cruelty masquer viding sufficient drugs to reduce his pain. “My doc- tors will have to wonder if they will be prosecuted for taking a certain course of action that could conceiv- ably lead to my death,” the medical profession may not be able to control the unbearable pain. She has said, “I fight, I cry and I work at it, but when the time comes and disease has got me and there isn7 t an-ything. .. - more I or -'anyo‘ri'e«’else T carti do, I want to have all options available to me — including assisted suicide.” Kenneth Shapiro, the other plaintiff, has suffered from malignant melanoma since 1982. Since then he has undergone over forty surgeries. Many of his treatments have been classified as experimental and therefore risky. Shapiro fears the assisted suicide law will make doctors afraid of pro- ading as moral policy. In Cruzan v. Director, the Supreme Con I grounded the legal basis for the right to die '3 th Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of liberty. Th 2 Court said: “The principle that a competent perso hasa: cniistitutionally protected liberty, interest ,i . Jefusing unwanted.-‘medical-treatment maybe in ferred from our prior decisions.” ,_ Opponents claim that if the courts allow assiste - suicide, euthanasia will be next. This fear is ugwar death.

Students everywhere are anticipating the arrival of the dreaded car tax. If you haven’t received yours, don’t celebrate quite yet.

For underclassmen who didn’t wit- ness the threatened boycott of Lexing- to pay in property taxes if it weren’t exempt, then gives that amount to the city as a gift. In some years, the school donates even more. We should also remember the tens of thousands of dol- lars we pour into the local economy annually through sales taxes.

It is A inequity. useful there- Students fore to first in- who pay form—and to property review for upperclassmen — why the enforcement of the car tax is so egre- gious. The city derives much of its revenue from property taxes. Because Wash- ington and Lee occupies large amounts of valuable property within the city limits, and because its status as an educational institution makes the uni- versity exempt from property taxes, the city says that it is put in a difficult situation. The presence of the univer- sity limits the city’s major source of * revenue. Since it is the university which causes the problem, Lexington figures the logical course is to tax the students. Hence, the car tax. But this reasoning overlooks one important fact. Every year the Univer- sity calculates how much it would have taxes on their cars in their home states are exempt. Students who don’t pay such taxes at home must pay them here. This may seem fair at first glance, but it isn’t. Car taxes presumably go to pay for roads and the like. But states with- out car taxes, such as Texas, still have roads. They just pay for them in other ways, perhaps with higher license and registration fees or higher sales taxes. A Texas resident pays as much for roads as does someone from North Carolina. The North Carolina resident just happens to provide that funding through a car tax and is, as luck would have it, exempt from the Lexington tax. The levy is biased in favor of people from states with property taxes on cars. The tax may also be unconstitu- tional. In addition to the obvious objec- tions (taxation without representation and all that), the tax may constitute a restriction on interstate commerce. It may also involve the taxing of one state by another. These are serious prob- lems, but the potential cost of testing the law in court is so high that no one is likely to attempt it. The other approach — having the law repealed by the state legislature —' came up short a couple years ago, when W&L’s characteristi- cally apathetic student body failed to convey its opinion to the committee considering the matter. Now, it seems that we all just have to do our best to live with the situation. On the bright side, living with the situation may not require paying the tax. The state law under which the city car tax operates has a loophole, and and they plan to transfer the title to yo sometime before the school year be gins. If they transfer the title after Jul 1st, you will avoid the tax. Suppose th A title is transferred on the first of Au gust, and you receive a car ta; bil sometime in November.

So go ahead and avoid the dreaded car tax. Give your car to your parents, and beat the city at its own game.

I am always excited hen I receive my copy in the mail ery Wednesday. It means it is time to eel the pulse of Rockbridge County :2 nd see if the towns of Lexington, niuena Vista, Glasgow, Goshen, Natu- tal Bridge, Raphine, Fairfield, es vius, and Steeles Tavern are still so ing. Raphine? Vesuvius? What? I didn’t c ven know these places existed. Where 2 e all of the Raphians and Vesuvians? ' never see them around. Are they hid- ng? Until I see conclusive proof, I am maintaining the position that someone is nfiking them up. Anyway, The Rockbridge Weekly provides all kinds of information that we at The Ring-tum Phi, frankly, don’t have the guts to print. For example, I admit we have totally glossed over the campaign of B. Eli Fishpaw for the seat of scpervisor of Buffalo District. In the Oct. 27 issue of The Rockbridge Weekly, candidate Fishpaw had quite a show of support on the editorial page with letters under such headlines as “Fishpaw livens debate with bold new ideas,” and “Fishpaw haswision for sustainable future,” not to mention “A vote for Fishpaw is a vote for change.” Think of how much better W&L would be if we all had a working knowledge of B. Eli Fishpaw. The Rockbridge Weekly also fea- Rlng-tum Phi, November 12, 1993 tured a slick ad by Enoch Hager, candi- date for sheriff of Buena Vista. “My only campaign promise is I am quali- tied for the job” was part of the text that accompanied his picture. Now, as all of you political analysts out there are now pointing out to each other, in terms of campaign promises, Enoch has made a doozy. Forget no new taxes; this man promises that he is qualified. One can only speculate as to the amount of po- litical action com- mittee dollars that went towards for- mulating Enoch’s. campaign slogan: “It’s Time For A Change.” Now we get to my favorite part of The Rockbridge Weekly: “The R o c k b r i d g e Traveler”column Here, read this: Word is thatRi- chardLewis, of the _ Bank of Rockbridge, has purchased an inter- esting gift for his wife in celebration of their 10th anni- versary: a rototiller. Now that ’s what! like, a man who knows how to keep a wife busy. I buy those kinds of gifts for my wife too - you know, the kind that] can use as much as she will (this not being one such example)...

LETTERS Rockbridge, and his wife might take their new rototiller and use it to send “the Traveler” on a trip to Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital. This is assuming, of course, that the Lewises would not be really pleased with hav- ing their names associated with anni- versary gift rototillers in The Rockbridge Weekly. I could be wrong. We alsoleam in “The Rockbridge Traveler” of a 549 pound stuffed black bear which was on display at the Lexington True Value Hardware store. The bear, which is the 1991 Virginia State Champion (of what, the column does not say), has now moved to the Buena Vista Ace Hardware store. I assume this ispart of some new stuffed bear pro- motional tour, and Iwould like to sug- gest to the tour managers that they rent the bear out for special events at W&L. Think of the possibilities for a 549 pound bear on this campus: 1) Use it for an Alaskan Wildlife Night themed dinner at the Letitia Pate Evans Dining Hall (Letitia! Letitia! Letitial). ' 2) Put the bear on a leash and attach it to the statue of Old George on top of Washington Hall. 3) Place the bear in the Registrar’s I’ eel the pulse of Rockbridge PAGE 9 Office so that it can be rude and scare away students who want to ask ques- tions about their schedules. 4) Position the bear in the middle of Red Square and see which fraternity would be first in having its pledges dress the bear in women’s clothing. Speaking of bears, and continuing with “The Rockbridge Traveler,” we learn that Tommy Slusser, on his way back from dinner at Shoney’s, hit a 297 pound bear with his car. The Traveler notes that Slusser’s family “owns Nicely Funeral Home in [Clifton Forge] — the company does not, repeat, does not have a taxidermy subsidiary.” What? Anyway, if you need more information on taxidermy, you need look no further than The Rockbridge Weekly’s Hunting Edition special in-_ sert, and thumb through it until you reach the article, “Local Taxidermies Offer Tips for Preserving Kills.” David Grimes offers such advice as “ NEVER haul animal around on hood of car. The heat from engine will cause hair slip- page.” Now, I DON’T want to see any W&L students violating this tip. W&L Security might have to get involved in enforcement, such as in this scenario: JOE SECURITY OFFICER: Well, would you look at this, that Tom Hespos has left another dead antelope tied the hood of his yellow VW. Shall we tow it away? BOB SECURITY OFFICER: Tow the antelope or the VW? JOE SECURITY OFFICER: The antelope. For the money The Rockbridge Weekly is a good read (it’s free by direct mail). I highly recommend you pick it up every week.

I am writing in response to Ryan Dennard’s Oct. 1 opinion column in V which he suggested we “address the poor individually.” Personally, I am very grateful that ~ h hared “Joshua’s” story and posed the questions that are often so hard to . answer, but yet are inevitable ones for anyone to ask who has had a personal encounter with the poor. Fannie Lou Hamer, Dorothy Height, and Ella Baker are just as “American” (Yes, they were born in America. . .) as Jefferson, Washington, or Madi- son, and as such also deserve time in American history classes. Mr. Hewlett, I will admit to being an ignorant cracker, as I do not know those three illustrious ladies; nevertheless, I have a difficult time imagining their contributions on the same level as the Founding Fathers. Or consider his article on the sins of the politi- cally incorrect. Although he says he has “nothing aglainstvthe-free discourse of ideas,” two ,sentences, later he states that “the bottom line is even ina free" society people should not tolerate racial or sexual intolerance.” So which is it, Mr. Hewlett? Are people allowed to believe in the superiority of one race or not? All beliefs deserve protection in a free society, and it hardly seems fair to exclude the racists from this free speech clique. I mean, al- though, what they believe may seem reprehensible and incredible, at one time the concept of a round It is easy to condemn the poor as a collective group, for we often unjusti- fiably see them as inherently lazy, ex- pecting everyone but themselves to do the dirty work of getting them back on their feet. It is easy to see the poor in this light, but only until we have our own per- sonal encounter with a living, breath- ing, and vital human being who just so happens to be poor. Right now I am living in a homeless shelter in a suburb outside of the Bronx in New York. I have come to know many women already since I began my “we volunteer work here in September and have learned a tremendous amount about the homeless poor. Many have made bad decisions in their past, but many of them were made not out of malice, but honestly out of ignorance. Many grew up in environ- ments neither you nor 1 could even begin to imagine, and dare I say that all but one I’ve met is willing to make a clean start. Most admit to their bad decisions. Most wish not to be in the predicament they’re in, living in a shelter depending on others for basic needs, and all want T Interviews and Photos .

At any rate, I do not mean to list all of Mr. Hewlett’s mistakes and attack them one by one. He writes nicely and seems to attempt balanced articles. In fact, I agree with him to a large extent. What is really mystifying, after having read all five of his columns, is his reason for writing them.

Class agent finds improvement in Phi To the editor: As a Class Agent, I have had a sense of obligation to wade through TheRing- tum Phi on a weekly basis. I am always looking for interesting pieces on cam- pus life that I might pirate for quarterly class newsletters. Until this year, this has been a laborious task. However, I am pleased to say that the school paper is now not only an object of labor for me. I can surpris- ingly assert that the Phi has become a pleasure to read from week to week. The copy is well formatted and the articles carry abit of weight, with sound writing to back them up. In addition, you have clearly made substantial strides in attracting new advertising dollars. All in all, an excellent bit of work. Congratulations on your efforts, Best Wishes, Brooks Pettus, ’90 ‘ What is the best class you’ve ever taken at Washington and Lee and Why did you like it?

This meeting lasted well over two hours and at its conclusion it was re- solved that the SBA budget would be set at $40,000, $5,000 less than the amount approved at the initial budget hearings. A few days later The Law News printed a letter from Staci Stone (’95L) in which she criticized Kevin Webb, the Second Year Law Rep to the EC, for his part in the budget process. Several members of the EC questioned the accuracy and veracity of her allega- tions, and responded with letters of their own to The Law News. Due to space limitations The Law News did not print these letters in its latest issue. Because we do not wish to have Ms. Stone’s charges go unanswered, we have submitted our letters along with a copy of Ms. Stone’s letter to The Ring- tum Phi. Sincerely, Bob Tompkins, ’94L Jimmy Kull, ’94 James Rambeau, ’94L To the editor: This letter was submitted to the Law News three weeks ago, but because of space limitations, it was not published. It is a response to a letter to the editor concerning the EC budget hearings — specifically, Student Bar Association (SBA) cuts. q Ms. Staci Stone, a second year law student, unfairly accused Kevin Webb (2nd Year EC Law Rep) of compro- There’s more to black people than basketball But then I remember that girl in my senior mising “his constituents’ interests for personal political aspirations” by vot- ing for a budget compromise which reduced SBA funding by $5,000. I wanted to offer my observations of the night of Oct. 4, 1993, since Ms. Stone was not present at that meeting (or any of our budget hearings). First, I would like to dispute Ms. Stone’s allegation that Kevin ignored his constituents’ interests in an effort to woo potential undergrad voters. I know nothing of Kevin’s future political plans, but I do know that he was critical in forming the eventual compromise — which was, in my opinion, generous to the law school. I originally proposed to cut the SBA budget by an additional $11,000, and I provided detailed explanations to jus- tify the cuts. Kevin managed to con- vince an Executive Committee (with a two-thirds undergraduate majority), to reconsider the proposal in light of the law school’s allocation last year. His argument worked. Second, it is a bit presumptuous for Ms. Stone to demean the worth of Kevin’s service to the law school — especially when she has never attended one of our meetings. I, however, have worked with Kevin for over a year, and I can promise you that he is an excel- lent representative. It is unfortunate that Ms. Stone appreciates neither the countless hours Kevin invests in this committee nor the benefits that accrue to the entire school from his diligence. Despite the fact that my attempt to reduce the SBA’s budget by an addi- tional $1 1,000 failed (mostly due to the arguments of Kevin Webb and Bob Tompkins — not Patty McNemey as Ms. Stone suggests), I do not harbor contempt toward the mostly under- graduate committee for not agreeing with me. I would never be so bold as to say (as Ms. Stone accused Kevin) that the undergraduate members were poor representatives because they did not vote for the plan which attempted to bring a greater degree of equity to the budget process. Kevin Webb deserves more respect than Ms. Stone grants him. Contrary to her ill-informed opinions, I can assure you that the members of the second law class and the entire W&L community are beingserved by an excellent repre- sentative in Kevin Webb. James F. Kull, ’94 To the editor: I write in response to the letter sub- mitted by Staci Stone and published in the last issue of the W&L Law News. Apparently she has no concept of the issues surrounding the budgeting of the Student Activities Fund, much less what transpired at our meeting Oct. 4. This is not surprising consider- ‘ ing that Ms. Stone did not bother to attend the meeting, or make any effort to obtain an impartial account of what took place. It is not Ms. Stone’s opinion on these issues, no matter how = ill-in- formed, that troubles me. It is her un- founded personal attack on her Execu- tive Committee Representative, Kevin Webb, that I find offensive. Kevin was a strong and effective advocate for the SBA during our Oct. 4 meeting. In the course of that two-and-a-half hour ses- sion it became apparent that the $45,000 allocation voted upon tend days prior would not pass a second vote. Vice President Jimmy Kull had proposed a reduction of this sum by $13,000, sup- ported by extensive documentation which suggested the amount should be reduced even further. Kevin presented a compromise which won the support of a majority of the Committee, includ- ing the other three law students. Through his motion and supporting arguments, Kevin kept the SBA bud- get from being reduced by an even larger sum. Tosuggest that he “com- promised his constituents’ interests for personal political aspirations” is in- credible indeed. His actions were mo- tivated by astute perception of the situ- ation and an interest in an equitable _ solution. Kevin and all the other members of the Executive Committee devote a great deal of time and energy to the effective and responsible administration of stu- dent government at Washington and Lee. It is a pleasure to serve with a group of people willing to sacrifice so much of their personal time for the sole interest of bettering this institution. Little irks me more than an insolent slur directed at any one of them and supported only by slothful researching of the facts. Ms. Stone’s injudicious comments are unbecoming of any stu- dent who has earned the right to attend Washington and Lee. Sincerely, Bob Tompkins, ’90, ’94L ' President, Executive Committee of the Student Body ' Stone calls Webb 4 on carpet To the editor: I am writing about the fiasco at Monday’s Executive Committee budget hearing. I call it a fiasco for two reasons: first, the Student Bar Association was allotted $5,000 less than last year’s allotment, and sec- ond, some of the law school’s EC representatives actually assisted in cutting the SBA budget. Apparently, the undergraduates believe that they deserve part of each law student’s fees to provide campus-wide activities, organiza- tions, and services. They refuse to acknowledge the fact that law stu- dents’ and undergraduates’ inter- ests seldom coincide. The campus organizations now receiving our fees exist only on one side of the creek. The law school also has its own newspaper, yearbook, and clubs. In fact, the only organization that has managed to bridge the gap is the ACLU, which the EC refuses to fund. In any event, the EC’s deci- sion about the SBA budget is final, and I am arguing basically a moot point. The real problem with the hear- ing was the representation that the law students received, or, more im- portantly, did not receive. I com- mend Patti McNemey, Ben Kalny, Keith Benedict, and James Rambeau for their efforts to represent effec- tively the law school. Much less deserving of praise is Bob Tompkins, EC president, and Kevin Webb, EC representative for the second-year class. These two EC Letter reprinted from The W&L News. members must have forgotten that they are LAW students. In the hear- ing, neither of them argued by keep- ing the amount that the EC allotted to the SBA last year, or any amount close to it. Instead, they made a motion to allot $5,000 less than the $45,000 that the EC had agreed upon last week. Granted, Bob probably had j ustification for his actions since he was elected by the entire univer- sity and should represent interests of both the undergraduates and the law students. Kevin has no such excuse for his actions. Although he was very in- strumental in the SBA budget’s ap- ‘ proval last year, this year he decided to opt for what he may call “diplo- macy” rather than to assist the other law school EC representatives. It seems that Kevin has compromised his constituents’ interests for per- sonal political aspirations. as a sec- 0 ond—year, I am appalled by such “representation” of my class. I voted for Kevin because he went to Wash- ington and Lee as an undergraduate. I figured that, as result, he could understand better the EC and, there- fore, represent the law school’s best . interests. I guess that I was right in one respect: Kevin does know how to manipulate the EC— for his own benefit. I hope that law students will think about what effective representation means when they vote in the spring. . Staci L. Stone, ’95L MY VIEW Michael Hewlett, ’96 I remember the day I woke up. I had been asleep for a long time. Up until that time, racism had never been real to me. It had been real to my grandmother and my mother, but Iwas too busy snoring. Then, like a brick thrown to the head, I was rudely awakened. It occurred during my senior year of high school. I remember, waiting with a mixture of patience and anxiety for psychology class to end. Out of boredom, I began to ball up paper and shoot for the trash can. Oftentimes, I missed. It never bothered me. I knew very well that I was no Michael Jordan. Or Magic Johnson. Or even Larry Bird. When I missed my third or fourth shot, a white girl in the class said, “You can’t play basketball. You’re not a real black man.” I looked at her for a minute, unable to believe she had said that. After a while, I said something like, “Is that all you think black people are capable of doing: singing and slam- ming a basketball.” How could she say something like that to me? Doesn’t she know black people who don’t play basketball well? But more disturbing than what she said was the fact that she believed it. She didn’t think she was racist. Unfortunately, the only thing she knew about blacks was Michael Jordan. She bought into the myth, the myth of the natural superiority of black ath- letes. It shocked me. Even though I had heard things like that before, it never hit me like it hit me that day. After all this time, I realized that I had lived in a vacuum. Racism had always been something that happened to other people — not me. I had discovered something that James Baldwin had discovered a long time ago-“the price of the ticket.” The price of being black in America today. And what is the price of being black in America today? It means forever being re- duced to second class citizenship. It means forever being judged for what up in the morning cursing God because I am black. I am proud to be black. I think it is truly remarkable that Frederick Douglas and Booker T. Washington could learn to read at a time when it was a crime for a slave to learn. I think it is remarkable otherblacks have done. It means having statistics of black males placed on your shoulder. It means having to almost constantly refute silly ste- reotypes about black sexuality and athletic abil- ity that seem to be rooted in this society. It means trying to not scare people or come off as another Malcolm X. Please don’t get the wrong idea. I do not get done. What is the price of being black in America today? It means forever being reduced to second class citizenship. It means forever being judged for what other blacks have that a people who were enslaved could sur- vive and triumph dur- ing a time when they were thought of as human chattel. Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther Hurston, Dorothy Height, Nikki Giovanni and many others. These are the people who make me proud to be black, proud to be a part of a great and magnificent race. E.

I am black. Although things are much better than 30 years ago, Istill live in a racist society, a society that would rather exclude me than include me. A society that would want me to assimilate and become “white” instead of retaining my black identity. A society that continues to marginalize blacks to the ever present glass ceiling. A society that refuses to see me and makes 00 effort to try to understand black culture, black history, or black people. What that girl said is emblematic of a much greater problem. Too many people still cling to their outdated myths of black people.
