With unanimous votes in both Houses, Congress passed a bill that will revise the way in which colleges report crime, as well as the public’s access to that information. The bill, which President Bill Clinton is expected to sign early next week, calls for public access to certain records from student disciplinary hear- ‘ ings. Security logs in both public and A private schools will have to be updated daily, and made available to students. “Of course it’s not final until the President signs it, but it looks as though the college student media-— both public and private—have won a major legislative victory in their effort to effectively and accurately cover campus crime,” Michael Hiestand, staff attorney of the Student Press Law Center in Washington, D.C said. The bill comes in response to a grass-roots movement that advocates the increased awareness of campus crime as well as the students’ right to know the persons or places around them that might be dangerous. For private colleges such as Wash- ington and Lee, the new bill could have serious repercussions. The Washington and Lee Honor Code, widely considered to be one of the strongest in the country, is upheld mainly by student-run organizations which thrive on privacy. Both the Ex- ecutive Committee and the Student Ju- diciary Committee operate on the premise that their deliberations are highly secret until a decision has been reached, at which time an announce- ment of the crime and punishment is made. “I think that during a hearing, things need to be kept fairly quiet, but once the case has been heard, it’s good to get it all out in the open,” Dean Anne Schroer—Lamont said. Greta Richter, President of the S.J.C., contends that the W&L judicial pro- Jury Finds Lobsterback Guilty of M arder it 1. by Tarah Grant EXECUTIVE EDITOR Without any deliberation, ajury de- livered its verdict of two acquittals and ' two convictions, one manslaughter K '4” andvone murder, in a reenactment of the Boston Massacre trial on Friday afternoon. The Honorable Edmund Trowbridge (Gray Castle ’53, ’55L) announced the convictions to a Lenfest Center audience of over 300 alumni, students and faculty after a two»-hour trial filled with intense de- bate and interruptions from a riotous audience. “The verdict I received, along with my other soldier comrades was exactly as I predicted,” said Hugh Montgom- ery (Chris Luttrell ’0 IL) who was con- victed of manslaughter. Attorneys John Adams (Harvey Handley III ’66, ’72L) and Josiah T Quincy, Jr. (Stephen Annand ’72L) ar- gued for the four British soldiers ac- cused of murdering three citizens of Boston during a confrontation in front ( of the town’s custom house. They pled not guilty and reminded the jury to act — with “patience, candor, and caution” because “the reputation of this coun- try depends on the outcome of this " trial.” The defense focused on the fact i that the confrontation occurred at night, preventing the eye-witnesses from knowing which soldiers were guilty and “it’s better for four guilty men to go free than to have one inno- cent man be punished.” Attorneys Samuel Quincy (Waller Dudley ’74, ’79L) and Robert Paine ! (C.J. Steuart Thomas III ’86L) repre- 1 sented the prosecution. In his open- ing statement, Quincy asked the jury members to “disallow passion from nibbling on the sweet meat of the brain” and to convict the soldiers for “willful, premeditated murder.” The prosecution argued that the soldiers did not kill in self-defense because the citizens were only throwing snow balls which could not seriously harm them. The prosecution and defense pre- sented a variety of witnesses, includ- ing the Town Watchman (Beth Maliszewski ’0lL), a slave (Rajesh Prasad ’99L), a merchant (Sameena Turabi ’00L) and a law clerk (Robert Rogers III ’0 1 L). Apprentice Archibald Bowman (Melissa lnzerilo ’0lL) and wigmaker Samuel Hemingway (Direc- tor of Dining Services Gerald Darrell) gave the most impassioned testimo- nies. Afier demonstrating how he had “pummeled soldiers” and calling one of the defendants “mean as a snake,” Bowman was told by the judge that his “exuberance [was] charming” but he would be pleased if Bowman stuck with “just the facts.” Hemingway was rep- rehended for referring to British soldiers as “lobsterbacks” and for talking to audience members while on the stand. Throughout the trial, outspoken members of the audience voiced their support for the prosecution’s case, calling the soldiers “murderers” who killed in “cold blood.” Perhaps prompted by the audience’s com- ments, the prosecution repeatedly tried to belittle the defense’s witnesses. At one point during the trial when the See TRIAL, Page 2 cess works well as it is. “I’m not try- ing to deny the public’s right to know, but the S.J.C. works to try and correct situations such as these,” Richter said. “For example, the punishment for physical assault is immediate sus- pension——we remove the threat to stu- dents’ safety.” While Richter doubts that the stu- dent media could handle increased access in an accountable manner, Schroer—Lamont says that public ac- cessibility might not be such a bad thing. “I think there can be some ben- efits, and I do think that student jour- nalists are capable of handling it in a responsible way,” Schroer—Lamont said. Currently, under the Family Edu- cation Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), many universities refuse to provide information about the out- come of disciplinary proceedings when a violent crime is involved, cit- ing these outcomes as part of the student’s academic record. Congress also passed a revision of FERPA that permits the parental notification of underage violations of state, federal and local alcohol poli- See CONGRESS, Page 2 1: 5 = 1998 Homecoming Queen Crowned Phi Kappa Psi nominee, senior Theta Anna Lowden, was crowned Homecoming Queen during halftime of the football game.

Hovey/Executive Editor Literacy Volunteers Help Children by Maggie Yates NEWS WRITER In an ideal world, young children who need help reading would first go to their parents. But volunteers who went to tutor children at the Treemont apartment complex, a low—income housing project in Buena Vista, learned that this is not always the case. “It was kind of sad,” volunteer and W&L sophomore Jane Lacy said. “The parents were saying, ‘I’m so glad you’re here. Ican’t read to my kids.’ It definitely opened my eyes.” Though the children at the Treemont apartment complex come from a supportive family background, many of their parents cannot read and therefore have a hard time helping with homework. Due to this, Rockbridge County Literacy Volun- teers has committed themselves to fighting illiteracy in Lexington since 1986. Literacy Volunteers, which has sev- eral literacy programs in Lexington, has adopted a new program geared to help these young children learn to be better readers. Volunteers go to the Treemont apartment complex twice a week to help about 30 young residents with reading and other homework Mondays and Wednesdays. The ma- jor goals of this program are not only to help the students become indepen- dent readers, but also to teach them organizational skills to help them get their work done in a more efficient Photo by VCl1ristie Phillips/Photo Editor For the reenactment of the Boston Massacre trial, Stephen Annand (’72L) represented the British soldiers accused of murdering American colonists. manner. Literacy Volunteers also hopes that these Monday and Wednesday afternoon visits will not only benefit the children, but will provide a teach- ing model for the parents to follow in the future. As of now, the Treemont program only has only a few volunteers, but they are hoping others will join. Literacy Volunteers also have two other programs geared towards chil- dren, Family Literacy tutors and Rov- ing Readers. Roving Readers is a HeadStart program that sends volun- teers either into a school or to an after- school session to read to pre-school aged kids, while Family Literacy tutors provides one-on-one tutoring for a student. ' Unlike the Treemont program and Roving Readers, Family Literacy tutors must have some formal training on how I to tutor children since their duties in- volve helping kids who read below their grade level. Literacy Volunteers gets involved with these children when they are notified by the school about students who need extra help. In addition to offering program for children, Literacy Volunteers also of- fers programs for adults, which include See LITERACY, Page 2 Photo by Christie Phillips Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore speaks at Lee Chapel Rededication ceremony. Holy Book Scandal Threatens VMI with Lawsuit by Jennifer Agiesta NEWS WRITER For 19 years, Virginia Military Insti- tute has given its graduating seniors the Holy Book of their choice. Now, this practice is being chal- lenged by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a Wisconsin-based inter- est group. The group has threatened VMI with a lawsuit if the practice is not stopped, although it has not yet found a current or former student willing to challenge the school’s practice in court. Accord- ing to a survey done by VMI’s news- paper, The Cadet, 83 percent of cadets think the process should continue, and 11 percent agree that it should stop. The FFRF sent General Bunting a letter on August 20 asking him to stop giving out books and also to stop the Baccalaureate Service held on campus before graduation. This voluntary ser- vice is run by the VMl’s chaplain and is Christian in nature. Chaplain Jim Park said it’s a chance for students and their parents to celebrate through prayer the culmination of four years of hard work. The letter said, “The actions of the Baccalaureate Service and handing out holy books is an impermissible en- tanglement of religion and state and an illegal endorsement of religion.” It also quoted the Virginia Consti- tution, Article 1, Section 16: “Noman shall be compelled to frequent or sup- : port any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever.” The group feels that these actions by state-supported VMI give unfair preference to students of faith and that those who do not believe are wrongly forced to distinguish themselves as such or have someone else’s religion forced upon them. General Josiah Bunting, superinten- dent ofVMI, replied on August 25. His letter said that VMI would continue to hand out holy books and hold the ser- vice. Bunting has said that he would fight all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. However, the school is not con- vinced of the seriousness of the threat. Assistant Head of Public Relations Charles J. Steenburgh said the “arro- gant sounding” letter surprised them, and seemed to come out of nowhere. He feels the group may have a hard time finding a plaintiff to fight the school. Annie Laurie Gaylor, editor of the group’s newsletter Freethought Today, told me that even if the group cannot find a student, they do have taxpay- ing members in Virginia who could act as a plaintiff, however they would pre- fer a student. Handing out Bibles was part of VMI commencement from the founding of the institution in 1839. Francis H. Smith, the first superintendent of the school, felt that with a diploma and a bible, a student could achieve any- thing. He frequently wrote on the in- side cover of these bibles a verse from the gospel of Luke: I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not. When Smith left VMI after fifty years of service, the tradition ended. It was reinstated by the institution’ s last chaplain, Charles Caudill, in 1979. The books were not purchased by state funds, but supported by a gift from Pat Robertson of the Christian Broadcasting Network. The books were handed out in a voluntary cer- emony separate from commencement. Cadets have the option of choosing any holy book—Koran, Torah, even the Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy- they would like, or if they prefer not to receive a holy text, they receive a book of quotations called America’s God and Country. Chaplain Park said they give out about 25 of these non-holy books each year. Over time, VMI has handed out over 5,100 books. Chaplain Park and General Bunting both agreed that the books should be given out with the diplomas, as Su- perintendent Smith wanted. In 1996, they brought the two back together, and the separate ceremony died out. Said Park, “We are big on character development here, and we see faith in See HOLY BOOK, Page 2 Ellis filing-tum ilfiht October 5, 1998 OPINION: and fall frolicking W&LrFE: international perspectives SPORTS: soccer still undefeated For and against affirmative action, letter from IFC, Studying abroad, foreign exchange students, and Football gets squashed, volleyball sweeps, women’s PAGE 3 PAGE 4 PAGE 6&7 OCR::/Vol_101/WLURG39_RTP_19981005/WLURG39_RTP_19981005_002.2.txt -1 ' - ‘ I - I V - .- .~ gm‘.-... ..-.\-......nu.......«._v...-.i.....-..-..—. .4 ::..—,..t.mb.-::.at-z:.ee.;..;..un_-:..._:..a:a:ziaa.a_:n. .. .....‘.- .4» 0* HOLY BOOK continued from page 1 God as an aspect of that.” The FFRF sees all of this as a major violation of constitutional rights. Gaylor said, “Whether purchas- ing the books or merely acting as a conduit, it gives students the false impression that this is a sectarian, not secular, institution. Students should not have to distinguish themselves as non—believers.” The Freedom From Religion Foundation was founded in 1978 with the goals of keeping church and state separate and educating the public about the views of non-theists. Their members are “freethinkers.” According to their website, “most freethinkers con- sider religion to be not only untrue, but harmful. It has been used to justify war, slavery, sexism, racism, ho- mophobia, mutilation, intolerance and oppression of minorities. The totalitarianism of religious absolutes chokes progress.” In 1996, the group sued the federal government over the use of “In God We Trust” on currency and as our national motto. Their appeal was brought before the Supreme Court, but was denied. The Court declared the motto “non-religious.” The FFRF says it keeps several challenges in the courts at all times and that it has members in all fifty states and Canada. LITERACY continued from page 1 a literacy program and an English as a Second Lan- guage program. Jones said that the ideal student for the literacy program is someone who realizes that he can further himself with reading skills and is motivated to succeed, though she says that is not always the case. Jones said that at the present time, there were not many adults enrolled in the literacy program due to the difficulty in reaching these men and women. Jones also recently started teaching English as a Second Language class for citizens who do not speak English. She says that students are from various coun- tries including Mexico, China, Russia, and Burma, and that she conducts all ofthe sessions only in English to ensure that the students learn. Though they also pro- vide one—on-one tutoring, Jones believes that classes will serve their purpose better. Ifyou would like tojoin Literacy Volunteers, please call 463-7037 or 463-4324.

Afier closing statements, the judge refused ajury member’s request for deliberation time. “I think you can do it rather quickly,” Trowbridge said. Historically, six of the eight soldiers on trial for the Boston Massacre (where five citizens were killed) were acquitted, and two were convicted of manslaughter. Friday’s jury, com- prised of the first row of the audience, was perhaps more persuaded by the reenactment’s prosecution, for they acquitted two of the four soldiers on trial, convicted one of manslaugh- ter and one of murder, Kieran Bartley (’00L), one of the directors of the reenactment, said. Several law students organized the reenactment, with Dean Joan Shaughnessy serving as the faculty coordinator. Directors Bartley and William Donnelly (’93, ’99L) started re- searching the actual Boston Massacre trial last March. They found historical documents and condensed the testimonies of over 80 witnesses down to eight, four for the prosecution and four for the defense. “From the beginning, our idea was to produce a condensed version of the entire trial,” Bartley said. “[The trial] was chosen because of the example of professional ethics demon- stratedby John Adams and Josiah Quincy, Jr., the men who were the defense counsels for the soldiers. Both men were strong advocates of colonial rights, yet both realized that the soldiers were in need of counsel in what would be a trial for their lives. A number of lawyers had already refused to take the soldiers’ case knowing that public sentiment was strongly against the soldiers.” . Over the summer, Bartley and Donnelly sent witness statements and background material to the law school alumni who had volunteered to be in the production as the counsels and judge. When school started, they got help from the Student Bar Association and its Sesqui- centennial Committee Liaison Robyn Hill (’ 99L). They selected law students to be witnesses and defendants, ordered costumes, borrowed a bayonet from the Liberty Hall Volunteers, teleconferenced with participants, and arranged the post-trial reception. Hill initially had difficulty finding students to volunteer. Ralph Clements (’00L) said he did not want to have a speaking role, but he agreed to “dress up as a British soldier and just sit there.” Clements ended up playing Matthew Kilroy, the soldier who was convicted of murder. “I was glad that I participated after it was over,” Clements said. “I had never been in any kind of stage production before, and so when I walked out onto the stage in that costume, I guess I had a real case of stage fright. I could just imagine the entire audience snickering at me personally. After a while, though, I began to realize that the audience had come expecting me and the rest of the cast to look like this, and that I didn’t look any more or less ridiculous than anyone else up there. By the end of the performance, I was really starting to enjoy it and get into character a little bit. I guess it really didn’t matter since a person on trial for his life would look scared and mortified, too.” Although Bartley and Donnelly did not take the stage, they also were pleased with the production. After Trowbridge announced the verdict on Friday afternoon, the audience gave a long ovation to the participants. “We were happy the way it worked out,” Donnelly said. “We had a couple of discussions I wondering how much the political pressures of the day affected the case, and I really think we got our answer on Friday.” Donnelly, who was a history major as an undergraduate, added that the reenactment was a “nice break from doing law school as- signments.” The mock trial, though, was both entertain- ing and educational for the participants and the audience. “I saw excellent attorneys ply their trade——in period garb, no less,” Bartley . said. “The production could have sewed as a class on litigation technique.” l 9 Solution to crossward on page 8 EL 553.- ‘CD5 — $2 079’ — 5 I ofi’ price as marked _C,’_A,rAL06uE 7'/nes: Q fbrjustp “.4 I. 99 just 5 I.

The move came in response to recommendations of a Virginia task force that studied campus drinking. According to Richter, about 90 percent of the cases the S.J.C. handles are alcohol—related. “The majority of people who come before us are embarrassed and regret what they did. If campus media gain access to that, they’re going to blow it out of proportion. It’s read by * everyone. . . other students and faculty. It’s embarrassing and people remember it.” Which is exactly the argument made by the opposition: in cases such as these media attention is embarrassing, and can serve as a deterrent. At this early stage, it looks like one of the major differences at W&L will be that notices posted after student hearings will name i the defendant, the crime he/she was convicted of and the punishment. “Particularly with respect to sexual assault cases, the women l’ve worked with have had a real need to have a notice posted after the hearing; it seems to be a very important part of the healing process,” Schroer—Lamont said. About 90 percent of campus crime is perpetrated by students against students, and is A related to other social problems. Because of this, provisions were included that deal with ‘ binge drinking and violence against women, as well as the suspension of financial aid for students with drug-related convictions. One million dollars was also set aside for a study of how colleges handle sexual assault, something Washington and Lee was considering making a return to anyway. “We did sexual assault surveys on campus during 1990 - 1993, there’s been talk of going back and doing it again to see where we are now, as opposed to where we were,” Schroer- Lamont said. “When we don’t address something for a couple years, students get the idea that we’re ignoring it.” If So while qarppuses await the ‘practical applications of the new bill, it’s enough for some simply to ‘know that this step has bieieirrtaken. “It’s certainly- beerra long time in coming,” Hiestand said.‘ .rlt . . . . - » University are co-sponsoring a “Making Strides Against Cancer” fundraiser on L The ACS will use the money for research, education and treatment of patients. ‘ Society.

Autumn provides a prime opportunity for those who enjoy a good frolic. Some like to frolic in the form ofa football game. Others prefer to toss the frisbee with friends or their big fuzzy pup named Duke. Still others would rather sim- ply prance around like enchanted fair- ies. Whatever your pleasure, the point remains that a good romping through the crisp autumn air refreshes the human soul in a way that should not be ignored because of minor hindrances. Returning from my final classes last week, I was deeply saddened by a front yard that was graced with heavenly sunbeams and brisk gusts of wind, but no frolicking students. Of course, the reason that no one ornamented the front lawn is because the school is generously thinking toward the future and replenishing the voluptuous verdure for times to come. I am glad that students have the courtesy to re- spect requests not to upset the growth process. I am worried, however, that because of restricted use of the choice spot for fall frolicking students will neglect (or restrain) inherent longings to hop, skip and jump on the way to cold season.

The club, which boasts 40 active members so far, has always been the source of interesting and multicultural activities. This year’s plans are al- ready underway, and Overbaugh said he has a lot in mind for the club this time around. “We have been trying to organize some interesting theme parties, Jamai- can parties,” he said. “We had a samba/salsa party last week.” The group d0esn’tjust stop with parties, though. Trips are also in the forecast. The group will try to take one or two cultural trips to Washing- ton, D.C., each term, as well as trips to more local locales like Natural Bridge and The Museum of Frontier Culture. Members have fun in the group, but they learn, too. Overbaugh wants to continue the tradition of weekly meetings that feature cultural presen- tations that educate members about the fascinating aspects of other cul- tures. The group has already had a slide show, and he plans to encourage international poetry readings, discus- sions, origami demonstrations and other displays of the world outside the red brick and white columns of the Col- onnade. Some old favorites from the club will return this year, too. The annual Orphan’s Dinner, which is a dinner on Parent’s Weekend for members with- out parents here, will be held as usual. The Evening Abroad will also return, which is a chance for students to make presentations about other cultures to the W&L community. Past themes have included Japanese tea ceremo- nies, Judo demonstrations, German techno lip synchs and Jamaican folk songs. With all these interesting events, what does Overbaugh think is the best thing about the club? “The people, by far,” he said. “Sometimes after working hours on an event or meeting, I get so tired, but then in the middle I look around at all these faces, so excited about what’s going on, and it makes all the hard work worth it. That sounds really cheesy, but hey! Everyone involved is here because they really love it, which makes events fun to organize, and even more fun to participate in.” The people are one reason why Overbaugh is impressed with the club, and with W&L as a whole, this year. “Four years ago there were less than a dozen international students,” he said. “This year there are 23 in the freshmen class. I think the school has taken a really proactive move recently, and they’re trying to increase our in- ternational population to help the school expand, and promote it over- seas. I think they are doing an excel- lentjob so far.” Canjust anyonejoin in the Inter- national Club activities? Well, not quite. “Almost all of our events are open to anyone oncampus, so everyone is welcome to come to our meetings,” Overbaugh said. Active members must pay dues, though, of $25 per year, which helps cover transportation costs for the club. “We find that most of our active. members are freshmen and sopho- mores,” Overbaugh said, “but we also like to get upperclassmen involved.” Need a slightly more cultural “home away from home” than you had before, orjust want to learn more about other nationalities and cultures? Anyone interested in joining the International Club can get involved by showing up for club meetings at the International House at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays or calling Overbaugh at 462-4723.

It was so small that I used to ’ joke that ifyou drove by it at 25 miles per hour and blinked you would prob- ably miss it. There wasn’t much to do around this town. In fact, there was so little there that when my friends and I would meet to try to find somewhere to go and have a good time (usually a 30 minute drive, at least), we would all meet up in a park- ing lot behind the auto parts store. Despite the lack of entertainment, there were a few redeeming qualities about the area. The one I recall the most now is a little shop called “The Corner Store,” or to those who lived near it, “Nancy’s” after the lady who owns it. It is basically a little store in the middle of nowhere where you can get almost anything. And most im- portantly, Nancy knows your name. The memory may be a little skewed with time, but I remember tromping through the snow to cross the three miles to Nancy’s to get some vanilla extract for some cookies or something that my mother was mak- ~ Gourmet Smokes, Beers, y Peanuts Tucked Away on Washington Street ing for Christmas. My mother didn’t even know if Nancy had vanilla ex- tract, but she sent me through the snow to get it anyway. I eventually made it up to the store, and when I walked in Nancy spotted me and said, “Hi, Tommy, how you doing?” I think I told her it was cold or something, but more importantly, did she have any vanilla extract? She responded with, “Of course! What kind of a store would this be if we didn’t sell vanilla extract!” Well, I got the vanilla and went home. Many years passed and I eventu- ally came to the small town of Lex- ington, Virginia to seek a college de- gree at a little school in this town called Washington and Lee. As Ijust noted, Lexington is a small town, but it is appreciatively larger than the town where I spent my formative years. I made my way through fresh- man year and into my sophomore year without finding anything in Lex- ington that came close to Nancy’s. During my sophomore year, I was wandering down Washington Street, I believe in search of cigars other than those you can buy at a gas station, when I noticed a sign on the door of a shop that said they sold cigars. I Photo by Christie Phillips/Photo Editor Chuck Smith, husband of Assistant Geology Professor Elizabeth Knapp, is co-owner of Washington Street Purveyors. remembered someone in my sociol- ogy class mentioning the place to me so I stopped in. The store was small and was in what must be one of the older buildings in Lexington. There were three rooms, the main one that you walk into from the street had hot sauces and assorted food stuffs, most of which I had never seen before. The room to the left was lined with beer and the room to the right was lined with wine. Track lighting attached to the floorboards of the floor above the store lit the rooms, the light bouncing off the brown, rough-hewn exposed ceiling beams of the old build- ing and coming to rest on a burgundy floor and old-brick walls. Behind the glass counter that held the cigars was a well-used fireplace that now held the credit card reader and printer on a table. The store was packed to the ceiling with various odds and ends ranging from re- frigerators holding Pepsi and other so- das to cases upon cases of wine lining the floor. There were also racks of beer I had never heard of and the ingredi- ents to make your own beer if you so desired. I noted the store in my mental inventory, bought a cigar and left. It wasn’t until about a year ago dur- ing late October of my junior year that I recalled the little store on Washing- ton Street, because now I was looking for a bottle of wine other than those you can buy at a grocery store. I remem- bered the room of wine, so I stopped in, bought some wine and had a brief FRANK HOBBS EXHIBIT OPENS IN C-SCHOOL Paintings, drawings and prints by Frank Hobbs will be on exhibit in the Williams School of Commerce, Economics and Politics from Oct. 8 to Nov. 17.

FILM SOCIETY PRESENTS “THE SWEET HEREAETER” The next presentation of the Washington and Lee Film Society will be the unsettling drama "The Sweet Hereafter" (Canada, 1997) directed by Atom Egoyan. Screenings will be at 7:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday in the Troubadour Cinema. As always, there is no charge for admission, although contributions are welcome. Atom Egoyan's shattering film, based on Russell Banks‘ novel, concerns a small Canadian town buried in grief after 14 children are killed in a school bus accident. To the town comes a quiet lawyer (Ian Holm), who seeks to repre- sent the residents in a class-action suit. Critic Richard Schickel in Time magazine called “The Sweet Hereafter” a “solemn, subtly structured, beautifully, and utlimately hypnotic movie.” Roger Ebert wrote, “This is not one of those [John] Grisham films in which the lawyers battle injustice and the creaky system somehow works . . . [this is] an unflinching lament for the human condition.” “The Sweet Hereafter” won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Festival and was an Oscar nominee for best director and best adapted screenplay.

W . th I I - —e-mail General Notes to phi@wlu.edu rapping e co umns. conversation with the guy standing be- hind the counter. We traded names and I left the store with my purchase. I think I went back a couple of times after that but I remember going there one particular time shortly af- ter my first visitjunior year. I parked my car a short distance away and tromped up the short hill to the store through the cold of the encroaching and soon to be incumbent winter. I opened the door and walked in. The store was pleasantly warm after the biting chill of the windblown street outside and there was classical music playing softly in the background. I started heading toward the back where the wine was when I heard, “Hey, Tom. What’s up?” The guy who spoke out the brief greeting was Chuck Smith, owner of Washington Street Purveyors, the store I was in now. Chuck found what I needed in the wine section of the store and I left. I went back with increasing fre- quency after that, finding that he rarely didn’t have the wine I wanted, and if he didn’t, he could point out a compa- rable one with great accuracy. The store stopped being named “Washington Street Purveyors” in my mind and took on the name that many in Lexington know it by: “Chuck’s place” or “Chuck’S.” Chuck opened the store in July of 1996 along with co-owner James Owens because, he said, that he “real- ized that Lexington didn’t have a wine shop.” The large volume and selection of wine that ranges from $4.99 a bottle to much more pricey vintages is not the only thing Washington Street Purveyors has to offer. There are also specialty, imported and microbrewed beers, brewing in- gredients and tools, fine cigars, ciga- rettes ranging from American Spirits to Dunhills, hot sauces, cheeses, handmade potato chips, shirts with chili peppers on them, boxer shorts with chili peppers on them, cook- books with titles like “Cooking in the Nude” and every kind of peanut that you can possibly imagine, just to name a small portion of things in the store. Despite this large inventory, Chuck thinks the most appealing thing about the store is the atmo- sphere. “I think a lot of [the appeal] is the setting, the whole building.” He says, “It’s kind ofa feel ofbeing in a [wine] cellar.” It’s hard finding a place like Nancy’s. The type of small store that carries a little bit of everything with a proprietor who knows your name is slowly being replaced with large stores that carry too much of every- thing at the expense of quality. They don’t know who you are and never will. Chuck's place has done a pretty goodjob of replacing Nancy’s while I’ve been in Lexington with one mi- nor exception - I don’t think he has any vanilla extract.

A pen- '23 alty for having too many men on the field set up the Yellow 1; Jackets first score, a three-yard touchdown pass from ,1 Partlow to receiver Michael Becker with 4:51 left in the first quarter. An unsuccessful fake punt led to the next it Randolph-Macon touchdown, this time a four-yard touch- down reception byjunior wide receiver Sean Eaton, with i: 13:40 left in the second quarter. ii “We were substituting a lot of guys in and out and mix- ups happen sometimes,” Miriello said, referring to the costly ;i penalty. “As for the fake punt, they just didn’t buy it. 1 still think it was a good call.” i, The Generals managed to score their only points of the i2 game in the second quarter as Andy Vendig kicked two 3 field goals, one from 32 yards and the other from 37 yards. 3.‘ Partlow threw his third touchdown of the half with 2:54 left 3 in the second quarter, a 6-yard strike to Jon Wells, and the Yellow Jackets took a 21-6 lead into the locker room. if Partlow threw two more touchdown passes in the '1 second half, a two-yard throw to Tom Bush and a 24- yard strike to Eaton. Partlow finished the game 25-51 ;§ for 342 yards and five touchdowns. Partlow did throw "3 three interceptions, but the Generals were unable to do anything with them, going three and out each time they forced a turnover. “The turnovers we forced didn’t lead to any points and that hurts,” said Miriello. “Against a team of that caliber, ;i you can’t afford to not take advantage of their mistakes.” Hollister llovcy/Executive Editor Freshman defensive back Jack Arnold prevents a Randolph Macon player from catching a pass in Saturday’s homecoming battle. The Yellow Jackets did manage to score other touchdowns, however. The Generals struggled offensively all day long and could only muster up 59 rushing yards and 205 total yards. Junior quarterback Christian Batcheller was 22-38 for 146 yards and had no turnovers or interceptions. Sophomore running back Marc Watson picked up 52 yards rushing on 12 carries.

Men’s Soccer Up and Down by Tod Williams STA FF WRITER Homecoming weekend has always been special at Washington and Lee, and the men’s soccer team surely did its part to make the weekend memo- rable. On Saturday the Generals notched their first Old Dominion Ath- letic Conference victory of the sea- son and then followed up on Sunday by winning a circus ofa game in over- time. Sunday’s game against Savannah College of Art and Design proved to be quite a case of Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde. The first halfended in an un- eventful 0-0 tie, but the second half proved to be a little more interesting than the first. At the 51 :50 mark, W&L’s Jon Wright, a senior forward, scored the games first goal off of an assist from fellow senior Mikel Parker.

In fact, they did it twice. On Saturday, the team gave up its first goals of the sea- son to Guilford, yet managed to net the 4-3 homecoming victory to remain undefeated. The win boosted the team’s record to 6-0. Senior captain Karin Treese opened the scoring at 5:56, heading a ball past Guilford goalkeeper Jenny Akman. Just 32 seconds later, Treese schooled Akman once again, scor- ing from 30 yards out to put the Generals up 2-0. The Quakers, however, did not let the score stand. Guilford forward Ingrid Werge became the first player to score against Washington and Lee this season at the 8:12 mark, and Amy Evans helped herteam to tie the Generals 2- 2 before halftime. Five minutes into the second half, freshman forward Kate Bidwell put the Generals up once again with her fourth goal of the season. Sophomore forward Lindsey Williams broad- ened the gap again in the 73rd minute with her first goal of the season, giving W&L a 4-2 lead. That goal proved crucial to the Generals’ victory, as Quaker forward Alison Schott’s penalty kick in the 76th minute put her team one goal closer to tying W&L.

Though the Generals posted 36 shots against the op- ponent, only one shot -was able to find the net. Sopho- more midfielder Shana Levine scored the critical goal 24 minutes into the first half, assisted by freshman midfielder Drew Powers and sophomore midfielder Liz Olson. “We played down to Sweet Briar’s level,” Levine said. “We kept shooting from the outside, even though they weren’t working. We didn’t adjust very well.” The shutout, W&L’s fifth consecutive of the season, tied a team record set in 1990 and again in 1993. The Generals will try to go 7-0 as they host arch-rival Roanoke College this Thursday at the Liberty Hall Fields starting at 4:00 p.m. “We beat them in overtime last year, and we’re expect- ing a really tough game,” Levine said.

OCTOBER 5, 1998 SPQRTS PAGE 7 SOCCER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 36th career goal and 78th career point. Matt Wilson’s assist to Parker was his first oftwo on the day. The Generals would hold their 2-0 lead for over 30 minutes. After the Generals’ sudden offensive burst, the game quickly returned to its previously uneventful state until the 72nd minute when Generals sophomore Scott Lofranco had a collision with the Bees’ Roddy Burgess. The two, who bumped heads in a mid-air struggle for the ball, were stunned as they lay on the ground. A trainer was called out to check on both players, but Burgess jumped up and refused to be examined. Play resumed afterwards when both players seemed to be fine. Approximately six minutes later, at 79:30, Burgess, who had been substi- 1 tuted, went into a violent seizure that lasted more than a minute while lying on the ground in front of SCAD’s benches. Play was stopped as a trainer and a doctor from the stands examined Burgess. Burgess was wrapped in blankets and jackets, and an ambulance was called. Lofranco was relatively unfazed by the accident. “I didn’t realize it, but I must have lost half of a second,” he said. The seizure obviously affected both teams very deeply, according to senior Sam Chase. “We gathered together and said a prayer for him,” Chase said. “It really makes you realize how important a game is when the kid’s on the side almost dying.” Play resumed approximately ten minutes later, and the incident proved to be quite a turning point in the game, Chase said. “That really took the wind out of our sails,” he said. The Bees’ Marten Magnusson scored an unassisted goal just over three minutes after play resumed at 82:39. The Bees scored again on their next trip down, just one minute and fourteen seconds later. Alan Huijsmans Sent an unassisted shot into the net from 20 yards out on the right side. The game didn’t remain tied for very long, though. Chase, W&L’s senior scoring phenom, sent one in at 85:43 off an assist from Wilson to give the Generals a 3-2 lead. The game then returned to a 3-3 tie less than 20 seconds later when SCAD’s James Stokeld scored another unassisted Bee goal at 86:02. W&L had two close shots at ending the game as the clock ticked down. Sophomore forward Jon Wilson almost shot one by SCAD keeper Jonathan Ward at 87:30. On a fast break only 28 seconds later Parker was tripped from behind by SCAD player Freddie Bennett. Bennett received only a yellow card, much to the dismay of W&L coach Rolf Piranian and the rest ofthe team. The Generals were forced to enter their second sudden death overtime game ofthe season as regulation play ended with the game still tied at three. Little time was wasted, though, as Chase ended the game 1:13 minutes into overtime with an unassisted shot from 35 yards out, giving the Generals a 4-3 win. Chase now has 105 career points. SCAD head coach Neil Cunningham said he wasn’t quite Sure about the happenings ofthe game, which sent the buzzing Bees to 4-4-1 on the season. “W&L came out very strong and caught us on our heels,” Cunningham said. “But once we got into it, it was like anything you can do we can do better.” Cunningham said he was very impressed by Chase’s scoring attack. “That number 13 had a great game and especially a great winning goal,” he said. Jordan Ginsberg, a sophomore, spent the entire game in front of the goal for the Generals, his first start on the year. “I wasjust glad to step in there and help out,” Ginsberg said. “The first 80 minutes were great, but I got kind of nervous in the last 10.” Ginsberg was playing in place of the usual keeper E.J. Murphy, who sat out on Sunday due to a sprained ankle. Murphy said he was not worried about thejob Ginsberg could do. “I have more confidence in him than in me sometimes,” Murphy said. W&L head coach Rolf Piranian was positive after the game. “I’m really proud of the guys,” he said. The Generals first conference win of the season came on Saturday, at the heart ofthe homecoming festivities. W&L dominated Guilford College 5-1 at Liberty Hall Fields. The Generals never had a problem generating offense. Chase opened up the scoring only 5:24 into the game. That goal sent Chase over the 100-point mark for his career. The intimidating Quakers tied the game up shortly after at 11:30 when senior Owen Finberg scored. ' Just seven minutes later, Parker reclaimed the lead for good for the Gener- als. Senior defensive standout Mikel Parker scored his first goal of the sea- son sandwiched between a pair of Matt Wilson shots. The two goals were the first career goals for the freshman. W&L outshot the Quakers on the game 18-4. The only dark spot in the Generals’ week came on Wednesday as they fell to the Eastern Mennonite Royals in Harrisonburg. The first half passed without a goal, much like Sunday’ s game. The Royals were first to get on the board as Jamie Miller scored with an assist from Aaron Buckwalter at 65:5 1 into the game. Several minutes later, EMU player Cedric Steiner passed the ball to Jon Moyer, who was standing just inside the pen- alty box. Moyer’s goal put EMU up 2-0, a lead that would prove sufficient for the win. W&L senior forward Jon Wright posted the Generals’ only goal ofthe day in the game’s 85th minute. The Royals outshot the Generals 10-9 in the contest. The Generals, who now stand 4-2-1, 1-2-1 in ODAC play, will host Lynchburg College on Wednesday at 4 p.m. at the Liberty Hall Fields.

Most people might feel this a comment that may be stretching the limits. For them, I say go see this movie. Ifthis movie doesn’t move you, then you are, to quote the film, “a soulless bitch" (this includes men) and should con- sider erasing yourself from the human race. Call me, I will mail you the gun. The movie works on every level that most love stories crash and burn on. Level one, the cast. Most movies that deal with love star Johny Hi-l’m- Good-Looking-This-Is-The-Last- Movie-You-Will-Ever-See-Me-In- Once-My-Good—Looks-Fade and Suzie Whee-I-Can’t—Act-Look-At- My—Hooters. Their dialogue and screen presence make you want to pro- jectile vomit. Not the case here, folks. It stars Robin Williams (Jesus, people, ifyou don’t know what movies he’s been in, crawl out from under your rock) and Annabella Sciora (“The Hand That Rocks the Cradle”), who play a hus- band and wife who have been through more than most people go through in a lifetime. Both stretch the acting range from doting and playful to morose and melancholy, and touch every base in between with a grace and skill that can- not be matched. They are supported by Cuba Gooding, Jr. (“Jerry Maguire”) as a guardian angel/guide and Max Von Sydow (“The Exorcist”) as a scholar who adds to this already dynamic bunch. The second level this movie works on is speed. Hey, James Cameron, get Crossword Puzzle out your notebook. You can make a successful romantic story in under two I’m sick to death of it.

Not here, folks. Thirdly, landscape and scenery. Your average love story is set in a cafe, or a beach, or the city. Blah blah blah, to leave her be. This movie makes “Ti- tanic” look like it was done in a bath- tub. There are no words to explain what you see. It is a technical mas- terpiece that ranks up there with the moment Dorothy opens the doors to Auntie Em’s cottage and be- holds Oz in all its technicolor grandeur. You have never seen anything like this movie, and probably never will. This movie will make you laugh, cry, and fall in love. That is such a blase cliche it makes me nauseous, which is the other thing the movie stays away from. There are more surprises and twists and turns than you know what to do with. Even if you can see the end coming or can pre- dict what happens next, you just don’t care. So, my final advice to you: drop your books and go see this movie. Do not make the mistake of waiting until it comes out on video, you need to see this film on a big screen to truly appreciate it. It Robin Williams stretches his acting muscles in the true epic love story of the 90’s, “What Dreams May Come.” will amaze you; it’s a feel-good tearjerker. This movie will change your perspective on life. A Beginner’s Guide to Shakespeare by Kevin McManemin OUT OF ME HEAD Because we want to inform as well as entertain here at the Last Word, to- day we present, very seriously and without sarcasm or silly jokes, the first part of our very serious series “Pass- ing Your Required English Courses.” Today we’ll be looking at that drama- turgical deity himself: Billy Shakespeare. It’s a pretty safe bet that any course you take in the English department will involve at least three ofShakespeare’s plays and probably some of his hoino- erotic sonnets as well. It doesn’t mat- ter if you’re taking a course on e.e. Cummings — your professor will still make you wade through “Richard III” or “Macbeth.” You see, when your professors went to college they, like us, were told that Shakespeare was the greatest writer in the English language and as- signed his plays. And, just like us, your professors got about seven pages into “Hamlet,” said “what the hell is he talking about?” and spent the rest of the day watching TV, drinking beer and eating Doritos. Your professors have no idea what any of the characters are saying ei- ther. No one knows. Shakespeare’s contemporaries didn’t even have a clue. “What thee helle talkst he aboute?” They’d say in the middle of the first act, then spend the rest of the day at the pub drinking mead and eating pigeon—meat sandwiches. No one is willing to admit this, however, and face the threat of seem- ing like they “just don’t get it.” And so the charade of Shakespeare being the greatest writer ever perpetuates through the ages. So what exactly did this dude write? Let’s take a closer look at the four basic kinds of Shakey’s plays: The Comedies — Remember that this defines “comedy” in the broad- est sense. Comedy refers to a play in donna. Off the Wire fictitously compiled by Kevin McManemin Downsized baseball teams faired poorly As the 1998 baseball season comes to a close, many team owners are looking back with regret on a series of ,downsiz’mgs, layoffs and cost-cutting measures undertaken to increase profits. The Detroit Tigers faired poorly this season after I eliminating the position of shortstop, citing it as “simply not cost effective.” The Seattle Mariners faired even worse with a corporate restructuring scheme that combined the positions of 1st, 2nd and 3rd base into a single position called “base.” The ’98 Mariners will enter the record books for having been scored on 532,658,765 times this sea- son, breaking the record previously set by Ma- The Philadelphia Phillies actually improved this ‘ season afier replacing batters with computers. The which the protagonist is still alive by the end, and has nothing to do with whether or not it’s supposed to be funny. Incidently, this is why the NBC show “Third Rock from the Sun” is refered to as a comedy. The Tragedies — All ofhis trag- edies consist of the same essential three characters: I) The hero who starts out cool but ends up so nervous and jumpy you’d swear he stayed up the night before drinking a case oflolt cola and a pot of cappuchino. 2) The guy played by Captain Picard from “Star Trek: The NextGen— eration.” 3) The older woman who thinks she’s really on top of her craft since she’s acting in a Shakespeare play and therefore dreadfully overacts and is kind offunny to watch in a tragic sort of way, like watching a clown get hit by a train. The Histories — A general rule is ..«-r""‘ that any ofhis plays with a number in the title is probably a history. “John II,” “Henry III,” “Henry the IV part two,” “Slaughterhouse Five,” these are Shakespeare’s histories. They are re- markably inaccurate when compared to real history books on their subjects; however, they are every bit as dull as any history book on the mar- ket today. The Romances —- Ro- mances usually contain fan- tastic and supernatural el- ements such as sorcerors, elves, faires or talking bears along with the ro- mantic tales of true love. Just remember that people used to be a lot more gull- ible and believed in practi- cally anything in the l600’s. Imagine—true love. Ha! So just remember this about Shakespeare: his comedies weren’t funny, his tragedies are hilarious to watch, his romances are fantasies and his histories are filled with more his- torical inaccuracies than Ronald Reagan’s memory. So what relevance do Shakespeare’s plays have on our modern world? Well, not bloody much. However, it would be cool to talk like a Shakespeare char- acter. Take these simple examples of com- mon phrases Shakespearized and soon you too can be speaking like one of the sprites from “A Midsummer’s Night Dream.” Dude, we were so wasted. Hark! Yon devious ale keg forsook us! My asshole English professor woke me up in class. Twas a scoundrel that didst awaken me from Diana’s bawdy slumber! I can't believe it 's not butter. Nay, be it not so! But for mine own lips to taste such sweet sucor, surely was not the wealth of bishops in a fishmongerer’s hat? Be this not the butter of my father’s churn, but beist it some wretched malefescence? O margarine, thou cursed abomination. O thou poison’d chosterol-free swill. T’would I rather have but the cho- lesterol coursing through mine humours.

Student Council President impeached in sex scandal Peoria, IL -— David Capasano, president of I the third grade student council at Franklin Roosevelt Elementary School, was forced to step down today barring impeachment proceedings. ‘ Capasano’s reign had been marred by allegations that he’d kissed classmate Rebecca Johansen on g the lips. “This is not acceptable behavior from our leaders,” said third grader Mark Fredricks, “Doesn’t he know that girls are yucky?” Many students are concerned that their president is setting the ex- ample that casual kissing is acceptable behavior in the age of cooties. Others worry that Capasano will no longer be able to govern effectively after being made the butt of countless jokes and cho- ruses of “David and Becky sitting in a tree, K-I-S- S-I-N-G.” Student Council Vice President Jennifer Beaman has vowed to “restore morality to third grade political office,” adding that “boys are so gross.
