I Lambda Chi burglarized Locals raid basement for Budweiser; discovered and foiled by fraternity brother ? ‘9 By PETER QUACKENBUSH STAFF WRITER 4 Two Lexington residents entered the Lambda Chi house last Tuesday in an attempt to steal beer from the basement refridgerator. “All of the doors were unlocked,” said junior Raphael Penteado, who discovered them. Not feeling threatened, Penteado called the Lexington Police in front of the two men.- “One of them left, but one of them stayed,” Penteado said, who saw them “trying to steal a case of beer.” De- spite rumors that men attempted to abscond with Natural “Natty” Light, Penteado asserts that the refridgerator con- tained Budweiser. Upon arrival, the police arrested one of the men for trespassing. According to the police log, Frank Merchant, of 1 Country Club Rd., was cited for trespassing, being . drunk in public and for possession of alcohol under 21. Merchant, who is not related to W&L History Profes- sor Holt Merchant, claimed that he was returning a CD case he had found in the Lambda parking lot. The case, a double-deckered zebra—skin affair, went unclaimed by any Br Aimruaw LATIMER .:ss:sr;r~rr OPINIONS EDITOR ,’ BY MATTHEW MCDERMOTT League President Caddll Th0mPs0n~ , EmOR_ENfiCfl3F “("316 program) will be Open to every- F orrner Director of the Central In- One, but especially target me imp0V€r_ telligence Agency Robert Gates will gr Nabors Service League will spon- ished—many of whomotherwise would discuss the terfdrisnfs Challenges in '3 sor an “Oaks and Acorns” fundraiser have no access whatsoever to artistic Thursday address in Lee Ch3Pe1- His on Sunday to benefit a community- and musical opportunities.” speechs “T€1T0dsm3 fir wide effort at raising art conciousness Tickets willbe soldfornine dollars; A New FaC‘3*—A among Rockbridge residents. and children under 8 may attend free.

GENERAL‘ , , Re/a y for Life auction benefits American Cancer Society This past Thursday, Jan. 31, almost $3,000 was raised in an auction for the Rockbridge area Relay For Life, which supports the American Cancer Society. Organized by Katrina Knick and Dee Miriello of Dining Services, the auction’s offerings were dates. More specifically, students volunteered to go up on stage and be bid upon, and the winning bidder got to take the student on a date. This year, 38 people were “auctioned” off. The high- est bid was for $300, in the forrri of a “two for one” special for seniors Quincy Springs and Jason Mander. The high- est female bid was $1 10 for junior Stacey Kimmel. Said freshman Anne J ohansen, who was “bought” for $60, “I was kind of nervous about going up there to be auctioned, but I knew it was for a good cause, so I think it’s worth it to be embarrassed. Plus, you get a date out of it!” Knick says that this year, the auction raised almost $100 more than it did last year, and she has high hopes for the future. Indeed, interest in the auction was high, with 175 stu- dents crowding into Evans Dining Hall to witness the event. Said Knick, “The Relay for Life is very important to 4 W&L students. Few can say they do not know someone who has been affected by cancer.” Contributions can still be made to the Relay for Life 7‘ by sending Knick a check through campus mail.
