The faculty may adopt such rules and regulation as may be necessary for the discharge of its obligation.” Ray said given the bylaws, the faculty must address this issue. This is not the first time Winter Rush has been an issue. A few years ago, the faculty and the fraternities agreed to keep Fall Rush with some provisions. During Fraternity Renais- sance, the steering committee not only spent money to renovate the houses but also drew up a set of standards for student behavior, he said. Ray, who was on the committee, said the faculty thinks the fraternities have failed to live up to those standards. “The faculty would not be addressing this if the fraternities were living up to the bylaws of the IFC, “ he said. Phi Kappa Sigma junior Mason New said faculty will probably not change their minds about Winter Rush. He said it will get faculty talking to students and getting their opinions. ‘‘I don’t think many students understand the faculty’s rea- sons for having Winter Rush,” he said. “They think the faculty is not really listening to their position at all.” Pi Kappa Phi senior Whitney Bludworth agreed. He said most faculty members know that fraternities support Fall Rush, but they may not know all the reasons. Although the faculty won’t vote formally on Winter Rush until May, IFC are preparing for the worst. Batteh said IFC will begin to discuss a Winter Rush plan that would work for the fraternities.

W&L also scored favorably in the employment category, with 91 percent of its graduates employed six months after graduation. “The real measures of a law school are the quality of its faculty and students, the rigor of the learning that goes on, and the professional competence and integrity of its graduates,” said Barry Sullivan, dean of the W&L law school. “If you know our faculty, students, and graduates, you know the kind of job we are doing at W&L. lt’s reassuring when others recognize that, too.” Fifty join Phi Beta Kappa at annual convocation I-> PBK, from page 1 others may ask, ‘What about children with Down’s Syndrome, who still have = some level of happiness and ability in their lives?” “Some claim this may lead to a generation of Big Brother trying to create a brave new world of perfect people.” If genetic engineering is to be em- ployed, Tong said, it should be for the sake of prevention of terminal diseases.

The liun ed By KIRK SUSONG Phi Movie Reviewer The Hunted — 1/2 I Occasionally one comes upon a genuinely bad film. I have found one in The Hunted. The story is standard. Paul Racine (Christo- : pher Lambert), an American businessman, gets caught in the centuries-old feuding of two Japa- .nese warrior cults, the ninja Makato, led by Kinjo (John bone), and the samurai, led by Takeda (Yoshio Harada). Basically this in- volves a lot of swordplay, bloodshed and an- cient Japanese castles. If you go see an action film, you’d be willing to forgo character development or exciting cin- ematography in favor of pure action — exhila- rating, forceful and heart-pounding. This film provides none of that. The action scenes are poorly, quickly shot, as if in ‘Confuso-Vision.’ This is probably for the better, though, since the actor’s choreogra- phy is also dreadful. Some of the swordplay looks interesting, but it becomes so highly ritualized, formalized and brushed-over it ends up resembling a mating dance more than pulse- quickening fighting-to-the-death. A The treatment of the fights is so standard I {often found myself — quite literally — yawning through the most important action scenes. In- stead of focusing on the athletic grace and strength necessary of the actors (as in a good Van Damme film), we get blurry shots of fast- moving pant legs, a quick flash of steel and long close-ups on the actor’s face. This might work if the acting were decent, but it fails terribly. Christopher Lambert made his first big splash as Tarzan in Greystoke. He seems to have used the same approach in this film — as a strong, silent misunderstood man given to sudden outbursts. Unfortunately, his character in this film is supposed to be a suc- cessful, articulate, urbane New York business- man. Despite their credentials, the rest of the cast fails similarly. Work must be getting scarce for the high-brow John Lone (M. Butterfly, The Last Emperor), but after this disappointing per- formance he shouldn’t expect any more calls soon. Joan Chen (the mill owner in ‘Twin Peaks’) has a rather minor role, but even that is flubbed. Yoko Shimada was Richard Chamberlain’s love interest inShogun and here plays the exact same character, only three- hundred years later in modem Japan. Despite the dismal acting, I wonder how much we should blame the actors. Rather, let’s blame the script, because it is as predictable, empty and trite as any l’ve ever seen. The screenwriter is J.F. Lawton, who also doubles as director. Lawton is better known for his work as writer on Pretty Woman and Under Siege. Considering the (relative) quality of those films, one wonders what happened to make this one so very bad. Maybe he’s got some sort of distract- ing ‘personal problems.’ He wasn’t able to redeem his script through his direction, either. Now and then, Lawton tries to do something daring with the camera, but it ends up looking only silly and preten- tious. There are several dream sequences which are incredibly absurd - mostly slow shots of swirling colors and mystical, confused faces. Overall, the film’s tone is very reminiscent of Highlander — full of swords, costumes, an- cient feuds, and Christopher Lambert. But this film is not even close to the level of Highlander ’ (or even Highlander 2.‘ The Quickening). If you’re looking for a good sword fight, rent C yranodeBergerac. Avoid this film at all costs. Rating Scale fifififir - 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.” flfifir -Go seethis film now, while it’s still on the big screen. It’s worth a few Oscar nominations and the seven bucks you’ll pay if you see it outside Lexing- ton. Overall, “Better than Cats!” fit} - Okay, so there have been better films. Never- theless, it is a good example of its genre, and you should probably see it on videotape. Still, probably “Better than Cats!” it - It happens to be on HBO, and you’re blowing off tomorrow's reading. Although yourtime would prob- ably be better served on your education, its free and you’re bored, so go ahead and watch it.

You know, the ones where you think you’ll shoot yourself if one more person approaches /A\an Keyes By MICHAEL HEwLE'1'r Phi Staff Writer Alan L. Keyes is becoming a fa- miliar face in politics today. The former Reagan appointee to the State Department has become renowned for his powerful speeches. I saw him at the law school a couple of days before Lani Guinier spoke. Although I disagreed with his politics, I was impressed by his intel- ligence and his ability to articulate his ideas with clarity. That’s why I decided to pick up his book, Masters of the Dream.‘ The Strength and Be- trayalofBlackAmerica. In this book, Keyes attempts to posit a different view of black American history that can adapt to his political conserva- tism. He argues quite persuasively that blacks survived slavery primarily because of their conception of Chris- tianity. Christianity gave blacks a sense of their humanity and self-worth. Although they were oppressed, Chris- tianity allowed blacks to have faith and work hard. With Christian moral values, African-Americans kept their families together and resisted the de- humanization inherent in institution of slavery. However, black Americans are oftentimes ashamed of their enslaved ancestors, ashamed of the fact that they are descended from slaves. “Somewhere, therefore, in the con- sciousness of every African-Ameri- can there is a subtle temptation to disown our captive ancestors, and to think that our past is not a triumph to be celebrated, but a shame that we must overcome...So we look to Af- rica, glossin g over the fact that Africa is not home to a single, united people but a polyglot of diversity of tribes and nations.” Of course, some blacks are ashamed of their enslaved ancestry but not all. Certainly, there are blacks who are either ignorant or choose to forget the struggles of their slave ancestors but again not all blacks. He further argues that this system of moral values sustained blacks through Reconstruction to the early 20th century and provided the foun- you and screams in your face, “Kiss me! I’m Irish!" Or worse yet, having some zealous party- goer spew green puke on your shoes. We aren’t even going to get in to the elfjokes. So, you’ve had it, and you’re looking for an alternative. Well, Student Activities Coordina- tor Michelle Richardson has you in mind. If you have seen those signs around campus with the suggestive picture of a man and a woman with the tainment troupe rented from Roanoke, they are actually a musical group scheduled to play the GHQ Friday night. This concert is the latest event planned by Dean of Fun Michelle in her attempt to pro- vide alternative social options for students. The Nudes is a male-fe- male duo from New York who describes their music as having ssnltsttuomottttltt attending the University of Georgia. He played music throughout his college years. Stephanie Winters is Park’s female coun- terpart. She is the group’s cellist and vocalist. The two paired after Winters read an ad placed in The Village Voice by Parks request- ing a cellist. Billboard magazine helped launch “The Nudes” career after giving them a favorable high. dation of the Civil Rights Movement. Black leaders such as Martin Luther King were molded in the black church. However, black people didn’t need to be reminded of their human worth, they already knew it. What King did was simply to articulate something that black people knew throughout their history, he says. Throughout the book, he criticizes those historians and social scientists who have misread or ignored the cen- trality of Christianity or religious val- ues in black-Ameri- can history. He takes Daniel Patrick Moynihan to particular task for his notion that black cul- ture itself was the blame for rising lev- els of illegitimacy in the black community. He also analyzes so- cial-scientists such as Nicholas Lemann, au- thor of The Promised Land, and Charles Murray, author of Losing Ground and The Bell Curve. In his view, the problem with social science lies in its in- flexible reliance on facts. He contends that social science fails to seethe strengthsofthe black community and instead simply spews out statistic after sta- tistic. In fact, Keyes lays the problems of the black community at the feet of social sci- entists and politicians who have created a “liberal welfare-state” where blacks are essentially seen as helpless victims, a view that is in opposition to black history itself. The black liberal establishment, as he sees it, has distanced itself from the black community and has assisted in the destructive policies of the liber- als. Politicians such as Jesse Jackson and Marion Barry have “sold out” the black community and have replaced black peoples’ interests with their interests. This has resulted in the sheer de- struction of those values that have banner headline that reads “The Nudes,” don’t get your hopes up too I While it may sound like “The ’ Nudes” is the name of an adult enter- sustained the black community dur- ing slavery and Jim Crow segrega- tion, he says, Strangely enough, he also criticizes the Brown v. Board of Education decision. “However, the opinion incorpo- rated the argument that without inte- gration, there could be no equality. It seemed unthinkable that an edu- cational institution that had little or no white participation was not inher- ently inferior. Pity the poor African countries, Photo from Time Robert Dole, Alan Keyes and Richard Lugar (from left to right) roll with force into the contest for the ’96 Republican Presidential nomination. where there aren’t enough whites to go around. The outcome of the Brown case was the right outcome, but the ratio- nale for the decision unintentionally bespoke the very prejudice whose effects it sought to overturn.” I think Keyes misses the whole point ofthe Brown decision. The de- cision overturned Plessy v. Ferguson, which said separate but equal was equal. Thurgood Marshall proved that contention wrong, and the Supreme Court agreed with him. As I read the book. I became in- “infectious grooves, engaging melodies, and compelling lyrics.” Walter Parks is the group’s vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter. Parks was a business major while creasingly perturbed that he sees any positive good in racial segregation. Although Keyes admits that segrega- tion was wrong, he nonetheless ar- gues that segregation strengthened black cultural and moral institutions. Keyes forgets that segregation also excluded blacks from participating in mainstream America. He does cor- rectly note the sacrifices.that work- ing-class blacks made in order to provide opportunities, however lim- ited, to their children. Black women scrubbed and cleaned white peoples’ houses while keeping their families together. Yet, Keyes sug- gests blacks were sat- isfied with their posi- tion in society. The black elites, not the black working class, faced the most viru- lent racism because they sought accep- tance into the white mainstream. “Working—class blacks could be both economically and psy- chologically self-suf- ficient. They could grow their own crops, ply their trade, or offer their services to white businesses and house- holds without appear- ingtoassimilatewhite cultural values, or as- piring to more exten- sive integration with theirwhiteclients and employers.” He further argues that although work- ing—class blacks seemed submissiveto racism, they actually resisted the de- humanizationinherentin segregation. Black elites by seeking greater eco- nomic advancement had assimilated white values and denied their black heritage. ' V Hr, dismisses blacks such as Paul Rol'eson who pursued a career on the stage while protesting American rac- ism. Instead, he compares Robeson to Thurgood Marshall, who became a lawyer, saying that “Marshall saw achievement in terms of his obliga- tion to himselfand the black commu- review of their self-released debut album. “The Nudes” will begin playing at 9:00 p.m. inn the GHQ. For a refreshing alternative to the typical St. Patty Day’s concert, be sure to be there. writes with inte igence hut eaves readers rustrateci nity.” Fine. Robeson, on the other hand, decided that law was not his road to achievement; he sought achievement in the arts. Yet, Keyes criticizes him, accusing him ofbeing more concerned with white opinion than with black needs. In my view, Robeson never forgot where he came from and attempted to bring dignity to the black culture by achieving in the arts. Keyes is wrong: Robeson never forgot his obligation to the black community. More importantly, blacks want- ing to break barriers in the arts, law, journalism and medicine had little to do with trying to appease white people. These blacks simply wanted to participate in the American Dream: the idea that if you work hard, you will succeed. Keyes is right in point- ing out that the American Dream was about more than making money, but succeeding and participating in the mainstream is the ideal on which this country was built. After World War II, black so]- diers became more militant because they saw the irony of fighting fas- cism in Germany and beingtreated as second—class citizens in America. They were angry because they wanted something better in life, and Jim Crow kept them from getting" it. But Keyes thinks black people were better off in racially segregated ar- eas, cut off from opportunities avail- able to other American citizens. Throughout the book, Keyes ex- presses his longing for a simplertime when blacks had nice little institu- tions that sustained them through sla- very and segregation. While he criti- cizes the welfare system and bureau- cracy, he thinks blacks were and are better off if they are sectioned away from the American mainstream. Although he talks about neigh- borhood councils and more power to the people, his ideas leave blacks virtually cut off from the opportuni- ties enjoyed by other Americans. He stretches his conception of the black Christian tradition to ri- diculous proportions, and he eventu- ally loses steam when he champions Clarence Thomas and lambastes Jesse Jackson. Keyes contradicts himself too often in this book, even when he occasionally makes some valid points. In the end, Keyes writes grandi- ose rhetoric, and he leaves the reader unsatisfied and frustrated.

The Honor System is so deeply imbedded in all of us. It is the ‘V law that governs us and the motivation which guarantees that we live honorably. To see a fellow student fall from grace disturbs us because we realize that our system is not perfect. To see a ,3 proceeding conducted in the name of justice and then turned into a public spectacle disturbs us even more. Let’s put this behind us. But let us never forget. Always remember the coldness and emptiness you felt in your stomach when the verdict was rendered. Please let this serve as a lesson to all of us.

One of these wouldbe that the female deans cannot vote or ask questions-at - faculty meetings. The official reason for that is they are not teaching any Faculty Hearing Board found the accused guilty of sexual misconduct. We don’t know what exactly happened (perhaps the rumors were very exaggerated), but our policy in regard to incidents of sexual misconduct needs to be reconsidered.

(J11: fling-mm lflhi — Men's lacrosse take on Gettysburg on -— Baseball fights through 9-9 contest against , Saturday V Hampden Sydney 3 PORTS BASEBALL, LACROSSE, TRACK, TENNIS, GOLF MARCH 17, 1995 The W&L baseball team played an odd game yesterday as the Gei:1ll:1?zti(l): tied Hampden Sydney 9-9 in ten innings with a final of 9-9. The team record now stands at 3-9. Baseball returns with Victory By Scorr BOOKWALTER Phi Assistant Sports Editor The Washington and Lee baseball squad continued the ef- fort to climb out of its offensive funk last week, as the Generals won one of three league games to set their record at 3-8 overall, and 1-2 in the ODAC. The Generals traveled to Ashland, Virginia, on Saturday to square off in a doubleheader with Randolph-Macon, but the Yellow Jackets treated their guests rudely by sweeping the twinbill, 7-0, and 8-2. However, W&L returned to the victory column on Tuesday by knocking off Eastern Menno- nite at home by a count of 4-2,. The Generals tied Hamden- Sydney, 9-9, on Thursday after- noon. Unfortunately for the Gener- als, they collided with a red-hot pitcher in the first game on Satur- day. Randolph-Macon’s Jimmy Mathews confounded the W&L offense by not allowing a single baserunner until the sixth inning. By the time the Generals were finally able to reach base, the contest was no longer in doubt as Mathews and the Yellow Jackets cruised, 7-0. W&L finished with a scant two hits on the game to go along with its shaky defensive play. One bright spot for the Generals was the pitching performance of senior Bates Brown, who entered in relief in the fourth inning. Brown was quickly taken down- town by the Yellow Jackets, al- lowing a home run to the first batter he faced, but the senior found a groove as he retired the final eight R-MC hitters. The second game began with promise forthe Generals, but fin- ished similarly to the opener. Junior Matt Errnigiotti smacked a triple and trotted home follow- ing the first of two hits on the game -by senior Todd Stanton, to hand the Generals a short-lived 1-0 advantage. However, the Yellow Jackets didn’t waste much time in reversing the mo- mentum. ‘R-MC served up a four-run inning in the third to grab a 4-1 lead, and never broke stride the rest ofthe way, finishing with an 8-2 victory and a doubleheader sweep. “We didn’t play very good,” Head coach Jeff Stickley com- mented about the doubleheader. “Our pitching was pretty good, but we didn’t swing the bats real well.” Washington and Dec returned to the comfortable confines of Smith Field and 75-degree tem- peratures on Tuesday afternoon as Eastern Mennonite journeyed down from Harrisonburg to op- pose the Generals and Bates Brown. Brown, the star relief pitcher in the first game of the Randolph- Macon doubleheader, was given the starting nod by Stickley in the hope of erasing the memory of the doubleheader sweep and start- ing off the Generals’ four-game homestand in successful fashion. He did not let Stickley down, as the senior pitcher settled in after early control problems and mowed down Eastern Menno- nite into the eighth inning, yield- ing only two runs on the day. “Bates battled hard, since he didn’t have his breaking stuff,” Stickley mentioned. “He got into trouble early, but he worked out of it.” As much of a presence as Brown provided on the mound, he equally frightened Eastern Mennonite at the plate. Brown blasted three hits, including a pair of doubles, in four chances at bat. Ermigiotti replaced the tiring Brown in the eighth inning, but he did not provide an improved )\ nonite hitters. The junior shut‘ out Eastern for the final two in- nings to notch his first save of the season in the Generals;’ 4-2 tri- umph. , Equally sweet in the skid- breakingwinwasthe factthatther Generals’ defense did not com- mit an error. ' W&L faced Hampden- Sydney on Thursday at home, and finished in a wild 9-9 dead--.,. lock. Rob Boston entered inrelief in the top of the seond and pitched out of a bases-loaded jam by in- ducing a H-S flyout and double play. ” Boston remained on the mound for the next nine innings before the game was called on acoount of darkness in the tenth inning. Starting pitcher Mark.’- Hazelwood went the distance for Hampden-Sydney. Brown continued his hot hit- ting by turning in a 2 for 6 effort, including three RBl’s. Junior Preston Miller went 3 for 4 for“ the Generals. The remaining two games on the homestand assume an even more important significance for W&L, since it embarks on a stretch of six of the next eight games on the road, which begins this Wednesday at Lynchburg College. “The home-field advantage is a big deal in our conference,” remarked Stickley. “I feel that it’s worth at least a run in every game.” The Generals remain at Smith Field for a doubleheader on Sat- ,- urday with Virginia Wesleyan, which is perennially one of the top teams in the ODAC. Stickley expresses confidence over the upcoming contests. “We’re looking forward to ' winning a couple games at home,” he stated. “We’ve struggled offensively lately, but we’ll break out of it soon. We’re opportunity for the Eastern Men- heading in the right direction.” ‘V Men top Wooster By RYAN BREMER Phi Staff Writer Washington and Lee’s men’s tennis team needed a big victory after losing two matches to start the season. It was unlikely to think that the Generals would record their first match victory against a team that came into the match ranked 13th nationally in Division III. But that is exactly what happened as the team knocked off Wooster last Saturday at home, 5-2. The key to W&L’s victory was the fact that they swept all of the doubles matches. ln number one doubles, the tandem of Chris MacNaughton and Jesse Taylor put away the favored Wooster pair of Warren Cham-a-koon and Joe J enckes, 8-5. This crucial win set the tone for the rest of the match. The number two duo of Damian Brady and Clay Richards won easily, 8-1. W&L’s number three tandem, Glenn Miller and Ryan Aday won in similar fashion, 8-2. The team carried the momentum of the doubles victories into the singles matches. Taylor, Aday, Miller, and Brady all chalked up wins as W&L sealed the match. The Generals, now ranked 19th, return to the hard court this week, ‘expecting tough matches from two teams ranked in the top twenty- 1V6. They defeated 21st ranked Ripon on Tuesday, they next challenge 23rd ranked Kenyon on Saturday. Women fall 13-5 By Karm GRANT Phi Staff Writer After starting a perfect 3-0 on the Liberty Hall Fields, the women’s lacrosse team suffered its first defeat Thursday. The Generals fell by a 13-5 margin at Lynchburg. The Hor- nets had knocked the Generals out of last year’s Old Dominion AthleticConferenceToumament with a 12-6 win, but W&L could not muster any revenge in its first road game of the ‘95 season. Senior tri-captain Lindsay Coleman would not be denied her typical offensive output, net- ting three goals to lead the scor- ing against Lynchburg. Senior tri -captain, and ODAC playerof the week, Nicole Ripken and freshman Whitney Parker registered a goal each to round out the scoring. Sophomore goalie Brooke Glenn stopped eleven shots during a busy day in net. Glenn, despite the loss, had an outstanding week in goal for W&L(3-1,2-1 ODAC).The lone goalie on the Generals’ roster earned the school’s Athlete of the Week honor for her perfor- mance in the first two victories of the season. Following up on last week’s 15-2 season opening win over Bridgewater, Glenn picked up ten saves versus Division II Lock Haven as the Generals came from behind fora thrilling 10-9 win on Saturday. Trailing 9-7 late in the game, W&L got goals from sophomore Erika Snyderwith 6:02 left, from Parker with 4:03 to go, and Coleman netted the game winner 20 seconds later on a pass from Ripken. Glenn shut down the Bald Eagles during the rally to ensure the victory. On Monday, the goaltender was not needed quite as much as Washington & Lee took a grid- iron-like 20-0 lead to halftime. Head coach Jan Hathom merci- fully rested her starters for the final 30 minutes in route to the 24-5 final score. Even Glenn got a break as senior defender Sarah Aschenbach made her debut in goal. The 24 goal outburst tied W&L’s single-game record. In 1993, Randolph-Macon Women’s College was the vic- tim of a 24-4 beating by the Gen- erals. Next up will be another road ODAC affair. The team travels south to Guilford in hopes of picking up its third conference win, then returns to the Liberty Hall Fields on Wednesday to meet Randolph-Macon. Wednesday. The next match for the Generals is Saturday at Gettysburg. Men’s lacrosse continues strong start . By KEITH GRANT Phi Staff Writer Washington & Lee men’s la- crosse is off to its best start in 15 years, and not a monent too soon. The 5-0 Generals travel to Gettysburg on Saturday to face the second-ranked team in Divi- sion III. ‘The Bullets (2-0) are coming off of a 15-4 win against fourth-ranked Denison, and re- turn most of their players from last season’s 12-2 squad. “We match up well against them,” said Generals’ head coach Jim Stagnitta. “lt’s been a good game the last two years.” Gettysburg has won four straight versus W&L going back to the Generals’ 8-7 double-over- time win in 1990. In last year’s meeting, the then fifth-ranked Bullets pulled away with four straight second-half goals for a 10-7 win under the lights at Rockbridge County High School. Among Gettysburg’s key re- turnees is senior defenseman Brian McGurn and senior attackman Tim Demore, whose 63 assists and 96 points in ‘94 were both school records. This season, Demore has registered eleven points (6 goals, 5 assists) through two games. W&L was ranked seventh by the preseason USI LA poll, but is in good position to move up with a strong showing Saturday. The Generals improved to 5-0 Wednesday with a 11-5 Old Do- minion Athletic Conference win against 17th-ranked Lynchburg. Ahead of W&L, #5 Roanoke was abused by top-rated and defend- ing champion Salisbury_State in a demoralizing 30-8 loss on the Maroons’ home field. Also, Denison was beaten by #16 Franklin & Marshall, in ad- dition to their loss to Gettysburg. Wednesday, the Generals upped their ODAC record to 3-0, thanks to sophomore goalie Doug Gubner’s 15 saves against the Hornets (3-3, 0-1 ODAC). W&L scored the first four goals of the game and led 6-] late in the first half. However, Lynchburg’s Scott Nelson scored with just 1 8seconds left and Chris Esibill netted one five minutes into the third quarter to cut the margin to 6-3. Junior Adam Butterworth eased the Wislon Field crowd’s fears with a goal just 50 seconds later. Junior Russell Croft and Esibill traded goals before senior Andy Dutton scored with just 38 seconds left in the third to give the Generals a comfortable 9-4 lead going into the final 15 min- utes. Junior Ande Jenkins scored twice early in the fourth and tin- ished with a game-high three goals and one assist. Jenkins leads W&L with 22 points, including 16 goals. Croft, Butterworth, Dutton, and senior Scott Mackley netted two goals apiece for the Gener- als. W&L has now outscored its opponents 73-30 through five games, yet has often gotten off to a slow start before pulling away late. Stagnitta hopes to see more consistent play from his experi- enced offense. “We’re real happy about the defense,” he said. “We would just like to see some more consis- tency on offense.” Pht b etsy Gree, The Rirmllg-tttum Phi , The men’s lacrosse team improved to 5-0 on the season with a victory over 17th ranked Lynchburg on’ Last weekend, Jenkins and Mackley each posted back—to- back four goal games as the Gen- erals won the second-annual W&L Tournament with ten goal ’‘ victories over Randolph-Macon (20-10) and Trinity, CT (16-6). Both of those teams are ranked in the top-25 nationally, as are a total of ten of W&L’s 14 oppo- V nents. The harsh schedule has so far paid off as the team is off to its best start ever at the Division III level, a move they made in 1987. The 1980 Generals began their campaign 5-O before losing to Virginia, 13-8. They then posted another five game winning streak in route to a 10-3 regular season. Their run 7 ended with a 12-4 NCAA Tour- nament quarterfinal loss to Syra- cuse in what would be W&L’s last appearance in Division I post- season play. 7 After facing Gettysburg, the Generals get a full-week to pre- pare for perenial rival Roanoke. That match-up annually decides the ODAC championship, and this year W&L hasthe advantage of hosting the game.
