Man offers oral sex over phone; harasses W&L library patrons 0 By RICHARD WEAVER Phi Associate Editor When a freshman male picked up the pay phone on the first floorof the Leyburn Library Sun- da night, he did not expect the v0 ce at the end of the line to offer oral sex. Thecallerasked the freshman to meet him in the fourth—floor bathroom of the library. The freshman then called Washington and Lee Security and went to the bathroom along with a second freshman. The two looked under the stall doors and saw the feet of a man standing up. The two freshmen left the bathroom and waited nearby outside. A man they described as ap- proximately 37-40 years old soon exited the bathroom. The freshmen watched the man as he left. File Photo Washington and Lee Leyburn Library has been plagued recently with tele- phone calls by a man who offered oral sex to male W&L students. 3 “He looked kind of sketchy, and he walked fast away from us,” the freshman who picked up the phone said. The two followed the man to the third floor where he left out of a side exit. In the meantime security had arrived on the first floor. The. freshmen returned there, and then the phone rang again. The fresh- men picked up the phone and it was the same caller. The fresh- men talked to him and kept him on the line while security noti- fied the Lexington police, who ' traced the call. The freshman was unable to identify any suspects in a police , lineup, according to Lexington Police Chief Bruce Beard. The freshman did describe the man in the bathroom as being about 6 feet, 3 inches, with greying hair. Police do not think the caller ‘ is the same person who has ex- posed himself at least four times on the Washington and Lee campus, as well as at least once in town. - “We feel like we're looking at two people,” Beard said. W&L Director of Security Mike Young said that his team would step up patrols of the li- brary, but that no security officer would be assigned to the library itself. The investigation continues. If you have any information re- ' garding this incident or any other similar to it, please notify the Lexington police at 463-2112. Graham-Lee-Wash. society debates U.S. News ranking By MICHAEL HEWLETI‘ Phi Staff Writer Should Washington and Lee strive to be one of the top 25 Liberal Arts colleges in the United States? The Graham-Lee-Washing- ton Literary Society attempted to answer this question when it sponsored its Third Annual Spring Dinner Debate on Wednesday, May 11 in Evans Dining Hall. Arguing the affirmative side were Associate Professor of Eco- nomics Arthur Goldsmith and junior English major Ashlie Kauffman. Professor of History Lamar Cecil and Executive Com- mittee vice-presidentlimmy Kull argued the negative side. The debate ended in a draw. Goldsmith said if W&L sim- ply fulfilled its mission statement, there would be no problem at- taining the top 25 position. “The challenge W&L faces is an internal challenge,” Gold- smith said. “The challenge is to satisfy our own unique mission statement.” Goldsmith said there was a desperate need for a student cen- ter and an international center where faculty and students from different cultures could meet. He said a special burden should be placed on the administration to fulfill the mission statement. He said there should be more topic- based courses or seminars in- stead of discipline courses spe- cific to the department’s major. the Executive Committee may announce.” Goldsmith said the most prominent yet unspoken prob- lem on campus is the alcohol abuse rampant among students. He said he blames the adminis- tration for turning a blind eye to the problem. Kauffman said the 60/40 ad- mission policy is discriminatory and should be abolished. Noting that female alumni generally give more money to the institution, she said the policy is not needed, and its abolishment will not be threatening to the men’s athletic program or to the fraternities. Kull said the people who cal- culate the rankings of the top 25 Liberal Arts colleges do not care about" the- "unique-‘traditions of Washington and Lee and neither do the students. “We used to appreciate char- acter, honor, and tradition,” said Kull. He said the two main reasons the W&L has held steadfastly to its traditions is because of its Southern heritage and the fact that it works. He said SAT scores are overemphasized, and charac- ter is de-emphasized. “Character should be the mea- suring stick of success,” said Kull. Cecil said the U.S. News and World Report should get out of Washington Hall and return it- self to the local barbershop where it belongs. Cecil said W&L should recognize and be proud of its uniqueness. “We have to come to grips that we are a Southern institu- tion,” said Cecil. “We need to understand that Bob Tompkins, EC president, could not be reached for comment. ‘ I -4 we are different.” Cecil said he is not against change, however. “We recognize that old bottles f need new wine,” he said. “What ~ we do not need is pretension.” Goldsmith said the university j needs more diversity in order to = make W&L the best possible university it can be. V “We need to be a growing,; evolving, diverse community,”: he said. ; Sophomore Nick Waddy, who ; attended the debate, said he‘ agreed with the negative side. “I think ultimately it’s not SAT scores or admissions statis- tics that induce students to come to W&L,” said Waddy. “It’s in- tangibles like community, tradi- tion, and history.” Sophomore John Branam said he thought both sides had good points, but the affirmative side did a better job of presenting their arguments more clearly. “I think the negative side re- lied too heavily on vague ideas such as character and tradition,” he said. Branam said the affirmative brought up important ideas like the call for a student center, more seminars, and a international cen-. ter. He said the key to the affir- mative side’s argument was the idea that Washington and Lee should strive to be the best leam- ing institution as possible. ‘‘I think in general it’s a poor excuse to say we should not be in the top 25 percent,” he said, “be- cause it allows us to settle for mediocrity.” Eating Disorders The problem . hits home at , W&L, P ‘ too.

Gay-Lesbian Legal Issue group, organized in W&L law school By MAC JENNINGS Phi Contributing Writer On April 18, a group of students at the Washington and Lee law School announced the formation of the Com- mittee on Gay and Lesbian Legal Issues. After receiving funding from the Student Bar Association earlier this year, the group is currently organizing for next year. Upcoming events are to include lec- tures from guest speakers and debates between speakers or members of the law faculty. Also, the committee plans to sponsor informal discussions and media presentations. Thus far, a preliminary meeting has been held and a documentary film shown. . The purpose of the committee is to establish a forum at Washington and Lee for education and discussion about gay and lesbian legal issues. In addition, the committee seeks to increase awareness of gay and lesbian legal issues throughout the community and to foster an atmosphere of accep- tance and appreciation of gay men and lesbians based on mutual respect and dignity. According to second-year law stu- dents Paula Effle and Steve Powell, who together founded the group, there are currently thirteen law students, five members of the law faculty and one . ‘WELCOAME W & L .--XLU MN-l Photo by Betsy een, Te R A banner day...

Involvement in the group isnot indicative of sexual orientation, ac- cording to Effle. Effle predicts that, in the future, gay and lesbian legal issues will stretch into every comer of the legal world, from criminal rights to employee ben- efits to discrimination laws. Unfortunately, according to Effle, these issue are not covered thoroughly in the curriculum at Washington and Lee Law. Therefore, the committee hopes to generate more interest in gay and les- bian legal issues and to acknowledge the importance of these issues. When asked about the reaction.of the law school community to the for- mation of the committee, Powell noted: j ~ that the response has--been generally‘- positive. “There is a good deal of diversity among the student organizations at ‘)8 law school,” he said. “In general, there is a ‘live and let live’ atmosphere.” ' Effle agreed. “The reaction has been good, al- though there is a lack of knowledge about the issues involved.” Any member of the Washingfon and Lee law school community who is interested in joining the committee should contact Paula Effle for further information.

Coulling speaks of alums . By EMILY BAKER Phi Staff Writer Washington and Lee alumus Sidney M.B. Coulling chronicled the University’s long history of producing graduates who go on to bigger and better things. Coulling, a 1948 graduate, officially began the alumni weekend festivities Thursday night in Lee Chapel with his speech “ODK, Leadership, and the W&L Tradition.” The tradition Coulling spoke of be- gan with the first graduating class of Liberty Hall. With that group of men, the University began its penchant for graduating students who become prominent leaders in their career fields. W&L has graduated 31 governors of states, 2 state senators, and 63 mem- bers of the House of Representatives. Also among its alumni are four Su- preme Court justices, and numerous recognizable names in the areas of jour- nalism, art, literature, and the sciences. In these areas, Coulling said, “not a week passes without the spoken or written word of a W&L graduate.” Coulling credited the adoption of the Honor System with helping prm duce such distinguished alumni. “No single act in the history of the University has continued so signifi- cantly to determine the quality of its leadership,” said Coulling. In addition to taking pride in the history of the University ’s alumni, sag Coulling, “we may look also with con- fidence to the future.” He predicted a continued tradition of excellence with future graduates, including the induct-L ees of Omicron Delta Kappa who were formally initiated later that evening. Coulling began his careerwith W&L, faculty in 1956. He served as chairman of the English department from 1978 until 1986. Coulling has received sev- eral awards honoring his achievements and service to the University. He re- tired from teaching in 1991.

The next song, “No Sense In Loving,” has a similarly lamenting western sound and these tracks dominate the sound of the end of the album. The beginning of the album sounds more like main-stream rock or songs that could be put on MTV. The first two songs, two of the best on the al- bum, start the album off gradually. “Slate,” the first song, has a slower feel and a prominent lonely fiddle sound which moves nicely into the next song, “Acuff—Rose.” It picks up the pace, saying, “Everything cuts against the tide when you’re by my side.” “The Long Cut” sounds like a western Pearl Jam song that is actually good.

(New Madrid is a town in Missouri besides being the fault line running through the south- west corner of Missouri; and Cickamauga could be either).

Associate Dean of Students Buddy Atkins said he “didn’t know people did [tunneling].” Mike Young, Director of Washington and Lee Security stressed the dan- gers of tunneling. “There are really hot steam lines and if you put your hand on one, or back up into one, or hit you head, you can get a seri- ous burn,” said Young. He also said, ‘‘It is prohibited and you could be arrested. Anyone one we catch, we will send before the Student Conduct Commit- tee.” BothYoungandArthur stressed that the tunnels are dark and filled with potential dangers like the hot pipes and drop-offs that could result in a seri- ous injury, especially since students are unfamiliar with the layout of the tunnels. Arthur said Buildings and Grounds attempts to keep people out of the tunnels by locking as many‘ gates and entrances as possible. However, some entrances can not be locked because they might potentially trap workers in the tunnels, creating an emergency situation.

He also said that B&G personnel have caught people in the tunnels and witnessed them entering or exiting the them. When that happens, they notify W&L Security.

[Editor’s note: The Ring-tum Phi does not encourage anyone to enter the tunnels due to the tremendous safety risks and potential for criminal and SC C prosecution. ] Holocaustdeniersrefuted By MICHAEL Hrzwu-:rr Phi Staff Writer With the popularity of Schindler’s List, there is a greater interest in the Nazi Holocaust. Hitler’s horrifying and systematic extermination of Jews has been well documented. Yet, in Deborah Lipstandt’s new book, Denying the Holocaust: The Growing/Assault on Truth and Memory, there is a movement to deny the Holo- caust ever happened. To some people, the idea that anyone would deny an historical fact seems ridiculous, but as Lipstandt said, a fringe group of ex- tremists are beginning to move into the mainstream, calling for open debate about the Holocaust on various college campuses. She notes the disturbing trend of Holocaust deniers to send ads to college newspapers, urging them to print them in the name of free speech. Lipstandt offers a fascinating look into the thought and methodology of the Holocaust deniers. Holocaust denial has its roots in the attempt by revisionist American histo- rians who were disturbed by American involvement in World War II. They argued that the Allies brutal behavior toward the Germans far surpassed the systematically cruel treatment of the Jews. ' Lipstandt argues Holocaust deniers used these arguments to support their theories. At first, deniers trivialized the Holocaust by comparing it to the actions of Stalin and other massacres throughout history. When this failed, the deniers reverted to denying the \ Deborah Lipstadt Destyingtite i”lGlC9€3:i.lS l»‘.l'V Holocaust as a whole. Central to their theories is the argument that the gas chambers were not used for extermina- tion. Lipstandt meticulously challenges this and other twisted theories about the Holocaust. However, her refuta- tion of the deniers’ assertions some- times borders on tedium. Much more interesting was her discussion of the denier’s entry in to mainstream soci- ety. The Institute of Historical Review has been the primary headquarters of deniers in America. They publish a magazine, The Journal of Historical Review, which is deceptively designed as a scholarly publication. Lipstandt argues this publication and organiza- tion are so slick that they fool even the brightest people. She tells the story of a senior history major at Yale who mistakenly sent his thesis to TheJ our- nal of Historical Review, thinking it was legitimate publication. Furthermore, Lipstandt is shocked by the incredible gullibility of college students and administrators. The idea that students may come away thinking there is an “other side” is “the most frightening aspect of this entire mat- ter.” Bradley Smith, an avid Holocaust denier, has sent ads entitled ‘The Ho- locaust Story: How Much is False? The Case for Open Debate.” Some college newspapers have printed them, oftentimes in the name of First Amend- ment rights. Lipstandt rejects this argument be- cause there can not be “open debate” on an historical fact: the Holocaust happened. The controversial notion of “political correctness” has been used as a weapon by the deniers, something that makes Lipstandt pessimistic. She makes a provocative argument against the deniers being protected by the First Amendment, especially their activities on college campuses. Ultimately, Lipstandt makes a pow- erful argument about the danger these deniers present to the truth of the Nazi Holocaust. She presents a thorough examination of these Holocaust de- niers and shows how ridiculous their arguments are. Some parts of the books, especially her challenges to the de- niers’ assertions, are dry. The book is hard to wade through at some points. However, the message of the book is an important one. We must not let these deniers continue to assault the histori- cal fact of the Holocaust. By KIRK SUsoNG Phi Movie Reviewer P. C. U. — mick We all fondly remember Animal House’s grand old Faber College, that gloriously stereo- typical institution from a mythologized 1960’s IvflLeague. Wouldn’t it be great if some enterprising film makers decided to update that story, and in the same wry and overstated humor depict the Ivy League in the nineties? The makers of P. C. U. hoped to do exactly that; unfortunately, their movie is more in the trfilition of Up the River than Animal House. Port Chester University is certainly the mod- em Ivy League college. The special interest groups have run amok and have destroyed any sense of community (or fun) among the stu- dents. Most students are part of some special inter- .0 est: “womynists,” gay—rights campaigners, black activists, academic nerds, etc. One group of students whatever isssue is most pressing in the news for a week, and the next week moves on to another of the world’s problems. A young high-school senior (played by Tim Lawrence) is visiting the campus for a week- end, to decide if Port Chester is the school for him. Hls host is Droz (Jeremy Piven), who lives in an old frat house caled “The Pit” (frater- nities were thrown off campus in the sixties). In the'Pit reside the last of the true college students, those reckless sex—drugs-rock n’ roll types that make the college years so wonderful (and largely blacked out). Unfortunately, at Port Chester fun is basi- cally no longer allowed, and the entire campus hates the inhabitants of the Pit. These fun- loving kids often disrupt campus rallies with clever pranks; for example, they toss the cafeteria’s meat supply at protesting vegetar- tans. As a result, the president of the university is coming down on them hard, and unless they raise seven thousand dollars they will be thrown out of the beloved Pit. So, they decide to throw a glorious all-campus party to raise the money, save “The Pit” and incense the president; even if they don’t raise the money they will go out in a ball of Flaming Dr. Pepper’s. Sadly, the movie falls on its face when it comes to the characters. the are all flat and uninteresting. Sure, Bluto was a stereotype, but John Belushi gave him some personality, a few habits and traits (the shifty eyebrows) which made him distinct. We don’t laugh with this movie’s “big, dumb guy,” nor do we cry with him. “Gutter” (Jon Favreau) is just big and dumb, and nothing else. We just wonder why we should care. It is precisely this sort of apathy which all the characters in the film inspire. Maybe if the characters won’t rescue the film, the fast-paced and innovative directing will. But, no, that doesn’t happen either. The directing is brisk, but the shot selection is mundane and unmentionable. And you will be very happy that the film moves so quickly because you can’t wait to leave the theater. (At any rate, the directing goes so briskly because there is so little film to direct: it’s less than ninety minutes long.) And, surprise, surprise, there is no salvation for the film in the plot. At first the trouble of an annoying administration breathing down the nexts of the fun-lovers seems scarily familiar (Fraternity Renaissance, anyone?) But exactly what we expect to happen does happen. The pre-frosh finds love and alcohol, the crew get to keep the Pit and the Balkanized campus reunites in a sort of youth-of-the-world- unite brotherhood, which is so very touching. Really. Basically, the creators of this film had a good idea, to resurrect Animal House in the nineties. Unfortunately, the plot is predicatable, the characters are flatter than fraternity beer and the jokes normally adolescent. ' You might see the Mudhoney single from the soundtrack on MTV and be inspired to go see this film. Resist that temptation. If you really want to catch the film’s few funny lines or David Spade’s humorous evil preppie char- acter, do so on HBO, where it’s free. The Rating Scale fififififi — Go buy this as soon as it comes out on video. It is an instant classic. “You'll laugh; you’ll cry; and maybe,just maybe, you’ll learn something about yourself." fififirfi — Go see this film now, while it's still on the bigscreen. It’s worth a few Oscars and the seven bucks you'll pay if you see it outside Lexington. Overall, “Better than Cats!” fififi — Okay, so there have been better films. Nevertheless, it is a good example of its genre, and you should probably see it on video- tape, especially if you are a fan of the actors or director. Still, probably “Better than Cats!” ikfi — It happens to be on HBO, and you’re blowing off tomorrow’s reading. Although your time would probably be better sewed on your education, it's free and you're bored, so go ahead and watch it. 15' —- Even if it's free and your best friend said he never laughed harder, trust me, this one sucks. Don'twaste yourtime, or at least don't waste it on this. (There's always MTV.)

Perhaps, the faculty did not recog- nize that the Standards for Fraternities does not mention the word hazing, that there is a serious legal question about the SAC’s jurisdiction in the matter, and that there is even more serious question about the SAC’s conduct in reviewing the matter de novo and then imposing a sanction far more harsh than that suggested by the IFC. Perhaps the faculty did not stop to think of the absurdity of a sanction which penalizes most harshly those it is facially intended to protect —— those pledges who were “hazed.” Perhaps the faculty did not reflect on how the imposition of the sanction, under the circumstances, gives every appearance of being a repudiation of the principles set forth in the Board of Trustees’ Policy Statement Relating to Campus Life, especially the concept of student self-govemance. Perhaps the faculty did not under- stand that the sanction flies in the face of the 1990 resolution of the National lnter-Fratemity Council House of Del- egates which states: “Restrictions on rush when used for disciplinary pur- poses are neither educational nor de- velopmental and therefore are not an acceptable sanction for men’s fraternities.” Just maybe, the faculty had not been given the facts on both sides of the issue because its vote mirrored the administration’s view. It is not unrea- sonable to conclude that the vote was the result of just one more step in the rather extraordinary efforts made by the administration to support its position. The faculty owes it to itself, to the students and to the University to be fully informed and to carefully con- sider the issues before taking a public position on the subject. The “charge” against Phi Gamma Delta, Dennis Manning’s January 6, 1994 memorandum, recounted two events which took place at the Phi Gam house. The of anyone’s imagination can be con- sidered an event for serious hazing. Yet, the facts were ignored. The second event described in Den- nis Manning’s memorandum was a consensual social event which took place on Saturday, December 4, 1993 after a concert held that night. Although John Wilson, in rejecting our appeals, concluded that this second event was hazing, that conclusion flies in the face of the sworn statements of those involved. No objectively reasonable person consider the i n c i d e n t “hazing.” first, was a pledge rally which took place between ap- proximately 12:00 midnight and 12:45 a.m. during the evening of Monday, Novem- ber 29, 1993 (morning of No- vember 30, 1993). D e n n i s Manning’s recita- tion suggests that --—-cc The administration disregarded the facts, refused to honor state- ments made by pledges and other members of the fraternity and, as has been admitted by at least two members of the administration, used this John Wilson, to some extent, must have recog- nized how inac- curate Dennis M a n n i n g ’ s memorandum was because, when heaffirrned the SAC deci- sion, he empha- sized different grounds. The Phi Gams had been the session lasted close to four hours. It did not. It lasted between 40 and 45 minutes. Dennis Manning’smemo- randum states that “the pledges were all very drunk. The tone of this episode. . .was abusive — massive push ups and drinking.” That simply is not true. It states that the pledges “were forced to do push ups until they col- lapsed from exhaustion.” That is not true. We know that because we, unlike the SAC, investigated. We talked to all pledges involved except for Jay Taggert. We took statements from each of the pledges’. The rally under no stretch situation to “send a message to fraternities.” tried and con- victed on one al- leged set of facts, but the convic- tion was upheld through a slick massaging of the circumstances. No longer were the Phi Gams charged with hazing in which there was massive physical abuse and exces- sive forced alcohol consumption. No, now the “hazing” had become “seri- ous,” primarily because it was planned in advance — because it was “premeditated.” In short, John Wilson said the “haz- ing” was “serious” because he said it was. It did not matter that his definition SUbs(:RIbE TO ”THE STUCIENT VOICE OF W&L,” of serious did not jibe with the state- ments in the University Handbook that “serious” or “severe” equates to seri- ous injury. The suspension of Phi Gamma Delta by the SAC is troubling to us on two levels. The first is obvious —— it is unjust and unfair. The suspension is not warranted by the facts and is not supported by any University Policy Statement or definition of hazing. Not only is the penalty insupportable, it penalizes most ‘harshly those whose interests it supposedly is trying to pro- tect — the pledges. The second level is broader and is related to our concern for the Univer- sity itself and the Fraternity System. The administration’s conduct repre- sents a rejection of many of the values and concepts which have made W&L great. While lip service has been given to support for the Fraternity System and concern for students, the administration’s actions have shouted a different story. The SAC imposed sanction is an obvious attempt to elimi- nate Phi Gamma Delta from Washing- ton and Lee. It is difficult to imagine any frater- nity at W&Ltoday which readily could survive the elimination of rush. The handling of the situation also has made a mockery of the administration’s oft stated support for the Honor System. The administration disregarded the facts, refused to honor statements made by pledges and other members of the fraternity and, as has been admitted by at least two members of the administration, used this situa- tion to “send a message to fraternities.” The ends, therefore, justified the means. The facts and the interests of those involved did not matter. The original sanction suggested by the IFC and the extraordinary efforts of the Phi Gam House Corporation were ignored.

Although she has regained weight, Jane does not feel she is recovered. “I think I would be recovered if I could look at my body in the mirror and say, ‘You look good.”’ In addition to her distorted body image, Jane is still tempted by thoughts of not eating. “It starts in the morning when I’m at breakfast and think, ‘I don’t have to eat anything today. It’s kind of exhila- rating. If I don’t eat anything, I’ll think, ‘Hey, I didn’t eat today.

With the game at 13-13 in the fourth- quarter, Towson appeared on their way to victory scoring four of the next five goals. The ’94 Generals 12-11 comeback victory over Roanoke, a game they trailed 11-6 in the final minutes, reminded Farrar of the Towson game. “It never crossed our minds we’d lose. We had the confidence and the ability to win those kind of games,” said Farrar. Having pulled within 17-16, W&L took a time-out in the final minute to set up a play. With the players expecting Bauer to be given the ball to restart play, Emmer had Lichtfuss take possession. Lichtfuss scored with 14 sec- onds left to force overtime, and he and Bauer each netted a goal in the extra-session for the 19-17 victory. An ill Skeet Chadwick proved healthy enough to shut-out Towson for the final 16 minutes in goal. Both Farrar and O'Connell agree that was the toughest and the pivotal game in the sea- son for the Generals, who improved to 10-0. Going into the final game of the regular season, a showdown with Emmer’s former Cortland State, the defending Division III champs, 13-0 Washington & Lee was liftedto number-2 in the national rankings. Only Mary- land stood ahead of W&L. The Generals responded with a 14-4 Wil- son Field trouncing of the Red Dragons to complete their second—straight perfect regular season. They now seemed assured of hosting the first two NCAA Tournament games and would not face Maryland until the champion- ship. But something funny happened on the way to the playoffs. While W&L was pounding on a quality opponent, number-3 Johns Hopkins beat Mary- land. The pollsters reacted by showing just how much skepticism they still had of W&L’s abil- ity. Hopkins (who had lost to two of W&L’s victims, Navy and Virginia) was elevated to the number-one ranking. Maryland, despite the loss, was dropped onlyto number-two. The Generals were, thus, rewarded for beating Cortland State by being dropped in the polls to number-three! Huh? Yes, the top-ranked team had two defeats, the second-ranked team had one loss, and the third-ranked team was unbeaten. ' A Baltimore Sun writer probably best summed up the happenings: “...the establish- ment kicked Washington and Lee and some 1,600 students in the britches.” Emmer called the new poll “an injustice.” “You can’t crack the lacrosse establishment just by winning,” he said at the time. “They can’t believe this little school in the Virginia Valley can be any good.” “It reflected that people still didn’t believe in W&L,” said O'Connell. Both O'Connell and Farrar feel that poll stood between W&L and the national title. After topping Navy, 11-9, in the first round of the playoffs, the Generals had to travel to Johns Hopkins for the semifinal game. “I like our chances if we’re playing that one at home,” Farrar said. Added O'Connell, “If Hopkins had come to us, we would have beat ‘em. At Wilson Field, that comeback doesn’t happen” What happened, though, was an 11-10 Hopkins victory that ended the season for Wash- ington & Lee. Tremendous defensivework by Farrar and Rob Lindsey enabled W&L to take a 10-7 lead into the fourth-quarter, but the Blue Jays con- trolled faceoffs and were aided by three penal- ties called in their favor. The winning goal came with just 1:50 remaining. “If we had gotten into overtime,” said Farrar, “there’s no question in my mind we would’ve won.” Washington & Lee’s best assemblage of 4&4--H4-74 Efilljliltlllltiliitilg Ellltteit at tlgr Eiattirtt tttttt Qrttttmz Fri., May 13 - Third.

Emmet was named National Coach of the Year for an unprecedented third straight‘ time, Chadwick received the C. Markland Kelley award as the country’s top goalie, and seven Generals were named All-Americans. Bauer, Chadwick, and Lichtfuss were among the nation's eleven First Team All-Americans. This year, Lichtfuss joined Bauer and Chadwick in the Lacrosse Hall of Fame. The amount of individual awards bestowed on members of the ’74 Generals makes all the more impressive how cohesive the team played on the field. “The guys knew what had to be done,” said O'Connell. “Egos didn’t get in the way of each other.” Farrar recalled how close the players were to each other. While students were headed south for spring break, he remembered, the team was traveling north together for games. “Those teams [’73 and ’74] were able to create a chemistry that caused people to be very, very close. We had a very tight team.” In the twenty years since the Generals de- manded and captured the attention of the na- tional scene, W&L has retained a high-quality lacrosse reputation. Farrar, though, feels that 1974 was the “high-water mark” for W&L lacrosse, and the contrary is hard to argue. Washington & Lee has reached the semifi- nals once in both the Division I and Division III Tournaments since that season, but has never chased the national title quite like 1974. “We believed in Jack Emmer,” said Farrar of his team, “and he believed we could do it.” When O'Connell looks back at his time at Washington & Lee, the football champion- ships, the basketball titles, even the 1988 men's tennis national championship, all don’t quite compare with the team he helped take to as high as the number-two ranking. This team was different. “I don’t think I’ve seen anything that’s out- done that team.” Ion-Fri!-ssatti-Noon IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIo' Marshallville, Georgia-: A Peach of a Town! : Women’s Tennis The Washington and Lee women’s ten- nis team responded to their first loss of the season by coming back to defeat the Univer- sity of Califonia at Santa Cruz 6-3 in thier next match. The previous match saw the Generals lose to Williams College by the score of 5-3. The Generals gave Williams all they could handle, as the match was tied at three apiece following the singles competition. Wil- liams then took both doubles matches to win the contest. In the win over UCSC, junior Marilyn Bakerwon her 26th match of the year, besting the school record for wins in a season of 25. The old mark had stood since 1991. Baker has amassed a 67-10 record in her three years on the W&L team. The Generals took five of the six singles matches against UCSC to clinch the contest. Ayers and Baker added to the total by chalk- ing up their 20th win as a team on the year in the doubles competition. With the win, the Generals move to 22-1 on the year. The team season comes to a close today with a match against Emory for fifth place in the tournament. Ayers and Baker begin play in the individual tourna- ment on Saturday. Women’s Lax Five W&L players earned All—Old Do- minion Athletic Conference honors in the most recent selection. Senior midfielder Angie Carrington and Junior defense Carrie Niederer were selected to the first team all-conference while juniors Lindsay Coleman, Dana Cornell, and Nicole Ripken were placed on the second team. Ripken’s selection was all the more impresive considering the W&L junior only played in nine games on the season due to surgery to remove a brain tumor. In those nine contests, the Generals’ Star scored 19 goals and 6 assists to finish the year as the team’s third leading scorer. Coleman was W&L’s leading scorer on the year with 35 goals and 12 assists for 47 points. Cornell contributed 10 goals and three as- sists from the defensive wing position Men’s Tennis Senior Robby MacNaughton will com- petein the NCAA Division III men’s tennis championships in California later this month. . The senior compiled a 14-9 record as the number one player on the Old Dominion Athletic Conference champion Generals. MacNaughton is ranked 15th in the country by the most recent polls. The trip is not an unfamiliar one for the senior. This year marks the third appear- ance for MacNaughton in NCAA single! play. He, along with Peter Hammond, has also been selected as an alternate to com- pete in the doubles draw. Golf The period of anticipation has ended for the Washington and Lee golf team. The Generals were notified on Wednes- day that they had not been selected to play in the NCAA Division III Championships.
