N0. 8 WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA NOVEMBER 4 1994 « Live Drive slows with low participation bers as a ride back from Zollman’s, but ...) By DAN ODENWALD Phi Staff Writer You cannot count on Live Drive to shuttle you home from a late night party at Zollman’s any longer. As of earlier this week, Live Drive was temporarily shut down due to lack of volunteer support. Live Drive Di- rector Brent Avery ’95, said that he explored all avenues to generate stu- dent support for the student-run ser- vice, but could find none. Avery has been involved with Live Drive since he was a freshman and has noticed that volunteer support has de- clined with each year. Avery has expressed his disappoint- ment with the poor showing. The breaking point was this past Halloween weekend. Avery had ini- tially enlisted several people to drive, but last minute cancellations resulted in Live Drive being unable to operate. This was not a rare occurrence for Live Drive. Apparently, the paucity of stu- dent volunteers has plagued Live Drive for many months. Avery said that it was upsetting that students used Live Drive in great num- did not return the favor and offer to drive on a weekend they planned to remain sober. Avery was also disappointed with the lack of fraternity support. While sign-up lists were circulated to each of the fraternities, not one submitted a list of volunteers. Sororities, on the other hand, were overwhelmingly support- ive. Each offered Live Drive a list of more than fifteen volunteers. Dean of Students David Howison and Avery decided that Live Drive would no longer continue its service in a joint meeting last week. They agreed that the program would be submitted to the Student Health Committee of which Howison is head. Student Health will study the future of Live Drive and then recommend a workable solution. The Committee will also examine the role Live Drive has played cr. campus and determine why student volunteer support is lacking. Howison said, “The Committee will review Live Drive in the larger context of the alcohol issue on this campus and determine the role which it will play in the future.” Avery believed one of the main infrequency with which it ran. It was primarily offered on bi gparty weekends such as Homecoming, Hal- loween, Christmas, and Fancy Dress. Since students rarely knew when Live Drive was planning to operate, few students ever called for service on weekends other than major party weekends. Student reaction has been varied. Some students are discouraged with the shutting down of Live Drive. “It’s unfortunate that we don’t have enough volunteers, but that’s hypo- critical of me to say because l’ve never volunteered,” said senior Rob Eison. Freshman Lorraine Taurassi said, “It’s bad because you can’t always depend on people who say their going to stay sober and drive and then drink.” Other students believe Live Drive was not important and too few students made use of it. “No one really used it anyway. Fra- ternities usually have sober drivers, so it doesn’t really matter,” said sopho- more Bill Rust. The vans used for Live Drive will be placed under the management of Howison’s office. Students will still problems regarding Live Drive wasthe W - 4 _ _ I F‘l Pilot The Live Drive vans will no longer be used to ferry drunk Washington and Lee Univeiifsitg students around Lexington. The vans will be under the control of Dean of Students David Howison’s office. Student groups will be able to request use of them. have access to them for the various activities which may require their use. Ultimately, Avery hopes to see Live Drive resurrected, but understands that student support is vital for this to happen. Goodlatte voices support for term limits and other controls By PETER WEISSMAN Phi Staff Writer .Term limits would free the U.S. Congress from the restrictive control of career politi- cians, Representative Robert Goodlatte told a crowded audience at his alma mater, Washing- ton and Lee University Law School, last Thurs- day night. “If you disperse that power and you limit the amount of time... I think you’re going to see a much more responsive, streamlined, slimmed- down Congress that truly is attending to its legislative duties,” the Republican said in a calmly-delivered, 45-minute speech to about 65 people. Goodlatte, whose 6th Dis- trict includes Lexington, Roanoke, and Lynchburg, is running unopposed for his second term in Tuesday’s election. Goodlatte supports a con- stitutional amendment limit- ing the terms of Senators and Representatives to 12 con- secutive years that, he said, would revive the Congress’ constitutional role. “The nature of the Con- gress, in terms of it being a citizen legislature rather than a career, has changed dra- matically during the course of the country,” he said. As Goodlatte envi- sions term limits, members could return to Congress with no seniority after a break in their service. He said three problems with Congress could be fixed by limiting terms. The first problem, Goodlatte said, is the seniority system. Traditionally, the the most senior member of the majority party on a com- mittee becomes the chairman. “Right now, you have a Congress that is dominated in the House of Representatives and similarly in the Senate by eight or 10 mem- bers,” Goodlatte said, referring to the chairmen of the most influential committees. He said that with term limits chairmen would be selected by merit rather than seniority. Second, Goodlatte said, members do not participate in congressional deliberations. He called the current system “an incentive to warm a seat for decades” as a member waits to accu- mulate seniority power. He said members Goodlatte would deliberate more if they had a limited amount of time in the Congress. Third, Goodlatte said, challengers can ’t over- come the incumbent advantages like favorable federal election laws, free mail, and large con-. gressional staffs. Goodlatte also discussed three arguments against term limits. He said the strongest point, that term limits restrict the right of voters to choose, is “offset by the problems created by career politicians.” Second, Goodlatte said, term limits will not increase the power of other Washington players like lobbyists, staff mem- bers, and executive branch bureaucrats. Third, Goodlatte said, he found that members in their last term “work diligently to pass legislation” rather than abuse or neglect their power, as some term limit opponents argue. He said that the possibility of term limits helping Republicans is not a factor in his support. Goodlatte also cited court cases that support and oppose term limits from a judicial perspective. Some political scientists oppose term limits for‘ other reasons. Albert Hunt writes in Governing that members would form cozy relationships with special interests who could employ them after their shortened public service. Hodding Carter III writes in Perspective on American Government that in- creasing the numberof inexperienced members would make an already “gridlocked” Congress even more inefficient. Nelson Polsby argues that term limits would force out good members in Point-Counterpoint: Readings in American Government. So far, citizens in 17 states have limited the terms of their members of the U.S. Congress. Virginia does not allow proposals to originate from citizen initiatives. On Tuesday, eight additional states will vote on term limits. Goodlatte said he supports these state initia- tives because they increase pressure for term limits nationally. Overall, Goodlatte says he wants uniform limits through a constitutional amendment. The constitutionality of these state-initiatives will be debated before the Supreme Court in an Arkansas case on November 29. If the court overrules the states’ efforts, term limits could only be adopted by amending the Constitution. That process requires the votes of two-thirds of each house of Congress to pro- pose an amendment and three-fourths of the ...,.S1a1e.Iegislaturcs to ratify it. Goodlatte estimated that 180 more repre- sentatives are needed to make two-thirds in the House. Goodlatte did not estimate how many more supporters are needed in the Senate. Goodlatte said he supports other reforms and has made changes in his own office. He said he cut his staff by 25 percent and spent less than half of the amount of free postage he is allowed. Goodlatte helped pass a rule that lim- its anyone in the Republican caucus to six years as a top committee chair. Goodlatte ’77L and Maryellen Flaherty Goodlatte, ’78L were married in Lee Chapel, and he said they were the first married couple at the law school. He said that Davidson Park looks much better than it did when he lived there in married student housing for $70 a month. After gradu- ating from W&L Law, Goodlatte worked for Congressman Caldwell Butler handling con- stituent problems. Goodlatte later chaired the 6th District Republican Party. Goodlatte’s district was Republican from 1952-1982. Democrat Jim Olin represented the district from 1982-1992. In 1992, Goodlatte beat Democrat Steve Musselwhite with 60 per- cent of the vote. Goodlatte said he supports Senate candidate Oliver North. Goodlatte said that challenger Marshall Coleman invited him to a North rally six years ago. The speech was sponsored by the Contact Committee, the American Civil Liberties Union chapter, the Federalist Society, and the Rutherford Institute. Clyde “Trey” Copeland ’96L, a law school representative of Contact who interned in Goodlatte’s office, said the speech was educational. “I think his speech was not just a political, one-sided ranting, but it was very balanced,” he said. Goodlatte said he has limited his own terms. “The longer somebody stays in Washing- ton, the more they become part of that inside the Beltway scene, the more they become detached and removed from their constituents, the less likely they are to be responsive to new ideas,” Goodlatte said. “And term limits has the effect of constantly bringing into the Congress people who have A other life experiences.” Women’s Rush gets 148 sign-ups By ETHAN KRUPP Phi News Editor There are 186 women in the freshman class and 148 have regis- tered for Sorority Rush. Last year, 150 women registered. ‘ Sorority Rush began on Sun- day, October 30, with sign-up in the Evans Dining Hall. Women can turn registration forms until Monday, November 27. 1 Katie Stephens, the Vice-Presi- dent of Panhellenic Council, said “we are expecting more women to sign up, including some upperclass- man.” Since the sign-up, limited con- tact has been in place. “Limited contact means the up- perclassman can’t initiate contact with the freshman.” Accidental contact between freshmen and upperclassmen is not in violation of the limited contact rules. Saying hello on the Hill or discussing a shared class will also not be considered contact. Stephens said the penalty for violating the limited contact rules varies, de- pending on the circumstances. Stephens said there are no ma- jor changes in Rush this year, other than the grade release. Some women will then be cut from those sororities requiring a GPA. above the 2.0 G.P.A. required to Rush, but Stephens stressed that they would not be totally released from Rush. “Some sororities require a higher one to pledge,” said Stephens and because of this, “there will be a grade release after the first night of Rush.” Kit Dodds, head Rho Chi, said one of the goals of this year’s Rush is to involve the Rho Chis more. “We are trying to give the coun- selors more training and get them more involved [in the Rush pro- cess],” said Dodds. Dodds, who has been a Rho Chi for the past two years, said every Rush is different and presents dif- ficult situations. Her experience in being a Rho Chi has allowed her to help the other Rho Chis prepare for these situations this year. She de- clined to elaborate on specific situ- ations. ‘ Dodds said she became a Rho Chi because the program is very important and can have a huge impact on Rush. “The Rho Chi is there to be objective, and be there for the fresh- men to talk to if they ’re confused.” Dodds emphasized that the freshmen should not worry about [Rush] because, everything will work out. “The freshmen should get to know each other and just be fresh- men,” said Stephens.

Often referred to as the heir of such greats as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, Twombly’s style is classified as abstract expressionism. Twombly spent much of September and October here at his new home, alternating between Lexington and New York City, where his retrospective show is being held at the Museum of Modern Art. Twombly also has three residences in Italy. The artist has worked in Lexington before, renting warehouse space here last spring in order to finish a painting. “He has been really good about supporting local artists and attending their shows when he has been here,” said Dr. Pamela Simpson of the Art Department. Twombly has attended openings and even helped to hang paintings for local artists’ shows. “It really means a lot to local artists to have the support of such an important figure,” said Simpson. Twombly left for Europe at the end of October and is expected to return to Lexington in the spring. Drinking until busted The Controlled Drinking Experiment shows B.A.C By KATHRYN MAYURNIK Phi Staff Writer On Wednesday, October 26, the General Headquarters restaurant housed the biggest drinking contest since Tear Night. It had all of the basic elements of a Washing- ton and Lee fraternity party-music, funnels, and a lot of Natural Light. However, the fact that Mike Young, Director of Security, was present with a breathalizer, and there was no stampede for the door, indicates that this was no ordinary party. Rather, it was the Controlled Drinking Experiment, sponsored and run by the Peer Counselors. Anyone twenty-one or older could partici- pate in the experiment, which entailed drinking one beer every fifteen minutes, after which a breathalizer test was given. One of the pur- poses of the evening was to show students at which point they have reached the Blood Alco- hol Content of .02, which is a full DUI for persons under twenty-one, and the BAC of .08, which is legally-drunk for everyone else. To avoid an out-of-control situation, a person’s alcohol was cut off once they reached .06. Dr. James Worth, a psychologist at W&L, explained the merits of the experiment. “This is a good oportunity for students to learn how a particular BAC feels,” Worth said. “They might think they feel fine and have not had much to drink, but their BAC could be higher than they think.” Worth was more worried about reducing alcohol use than eliminating it altogether. “I realize that drinking is an embedded as- pect of college life, and I don’t condemn it. What frightens me is that that so much exces- sive and high risk drinking goes on. According to a 1993 poll, 69% of W&L students have experienced a blackout. People need to drink more responsibly and at lower risk.” The experiment also showed how several factors attribute to a BAC, the main ones being weight, gender, and the amount of food in the stomach. The person with the highest BAC was a female who hadn’t had dinner, and the person who held out the longest was a male whose weight played a factor. By attaching a condom to the end of a funnel and pouring a few beers down it, Young dem- onstrated the dangers of funneling. “If I see any of these, I will take them away. These will kill,” Young said. “When I threatened to take one away from a young man, he threatened to sue me for violating his civil rights. I told him that I’d call his mother.” OCR::/Vol_094/WLURG39_RTP_19941104/WLURG39_RTP_19941104_002.2.txt The Ring-tum Phi. November 4. 1994 BEYOND THE BLUE RIDGE The World Saudis turn down bank proposal Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations refused to support a proposal by the Clinton Administration for a multibillion-dollar development bank for the Middle East. The countries argued at an economic conference in Morocco that their own economic problems made it difficult to devote the necessary funds to the bank. The US has made several requests for financial commitments from Saudi Arabia, which has been running budget deficits of $10 billion a year. US officials remain confident that there will eventually be a bank, in spite of objections from the Arabs. Scandal shake up Russian military Recent corruption scandals have disrupted Russia’s military establish- ment. President Boris Yeltsin dismissed on Tuesday a deputy defense minister, who, along with other Russian officers, had been accused of the illegal sale of millions of dollars of Government property which was to be brought back to Russia. Other instances, including the death of a Russian journalist investigating corruption among army officers and the purchase of Mercedes sedans from illegal funds, have other Russian officers campaigning to keep their jobs. Burning floods kill 200 in Egypt At least 200 Egyptians were killed Wednesday when an explosions sent floods of blazing fuel through the streets of a small village. Storms and flash floods caused a bridge to collapse over a military fuel complex 200 miles south of Cairo. The collapse toppled fuel tanks, setting off an explosion encompassing 15,000 tons of motor and aircraft fuel. Floodwa- ters spread the burning fuel through streets, causing thousands of survivors to seek refuge in the nearby capital of Asyut. ' U ., ~,_ ,. The Nation White House shooting suspect charged Federal officials charged a Colorado man Sunday with felony counts for shooting up the White House with rifle fire. After much debate, they decided not to charge Francisco Duran with attempted assassination of the President. Duran was arraigned on Monday with charges of willfully damaging government property and violation of laws that prohibit a convicted felon of possessing a weapon. Duran was convicted in 1991 of aggravated assault with a vehicle and drunk and disorderly conduct. Authorities say Duran has given them few clues to the case and is refusing to talk with them. Report condemns CIA’s ineptitude in spy case A 116-page report by the Senate Select Committee said that the CIA’s hunt for convicted spy Aldrich Ames was thrown off the track by Soviet deception and the ineptitude of the CIA. Ames sold secrets to the Soviet Union from 1985 until his arrest this February. Soviet spies gave false information to the CIA, who believed most of it. For seven years the CIA did not seek aid or share information with the FBl’s spy detectors, but instead chose to study its old files instead of seeking new information about why its best Soviet agents were being murdered. Hill convicted in abortion shooting A Florida jury took just 20 minutes to convict former minister Paul Hill of murder in the slayings of an abortion doctor and his bodyguard. Hill could receive a sentence of life in prison or death in the electric chair. Hill acted as his own lawyer and offered no defense during his three day trial. In October, Hill became the first person convicted of violating the new federal law against harassing or using violence against those entering abortion clinics. The State 4;; North and Robb trade insults as election day draws near Both Charles Robb and Oliver North traded insults Wednesday, the beginning of the last week before the Senate election. At a campaign stop in Woodridge, Robb criticized North’s no new taxes pledge as being irresponsible and likely to cause mistrust of the government. That same day, North accused Robb of doing nothing for Virginians except raising their taxes. North attended a College Republicans meeting at UVA, which was also attended by a large crowd of anti-North demonstrators. Mary Washington faculty votes to give ben- efits to unmarried partners Faculty members at Mary Washington College voiced their support Wednesday night for extending health benefits to the live-in partners of homosexual and heterosexual employees of the college. The faculty is now asking the Faculty Senate of Virginia to support their efforts to extend these benefits. Doing so would require revision of a statewide policy. Currently 206 American institutions of higher learning offer these health benefits to unmarried partners of faculty. The C ampus Freshman dorm rooms robbed Several rooms in Graham—Lees dormitory were burglarized over the weekend. Between $200 and $300 was stolen from Jon Bayer's room and $30 was stolen from Kelley Dyer's room. Neither freshman had locked their rooms. Nothing else was stolen.

North wins W&L ock eeti By MICHAEL Hewusrr Phi Staff Writer Oliver North won the Virginia Sen- ate race —- at least according to Wash- ington and Lee students. » The Mock Election was held on Friday, October 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 224 students voted in the election. North won by 58.9 percent, Robb received 28.6 percent, and Coleman received 12.5 percent. College Republican president Dou- glas Theissen said he asked the College Democrat president, Nova Clarke, to participate in the Mock Election. He said he made sure that a College Democrat was always present at the election booth. He and Clarke verified said, “and we’re very excited to have Oliver North win big in this changing environment.” He said North’s victory proves that even in a diverse W&L, conservatives still win. Thirteen other Mock Election have gone to North and UVA’s mock election went to a conservative for the first time. “Students all over the state are turn- ing toward North and W&L is another example of that,” he said. Clarke was also happy with the results. ‘‘I’m quite happy because it shows that there are some thinking people on this campus,” she said. “We’re very pleased with the turn- out, considering that the faculty could not vote and Stewart North (North’s son) could stand (at the voting booth) and counted the ballots. ‘ P The election results pleased him. “The College Republicans are happy with the results becuase the mood of the campus has been more liberal,” he for several hours.” She said the election does not accu- rately predict how the Virginians will vote, citing that only a tenth of the students voted in the election. Photo Betsy Green, The Ring-tum Phi I Two W&L students work the ballot box for the mock Vir- ginia Senatorial election Bolden speaks to future lawyers He warns of changing rules and rewards of law BY MlCHAEL HEWLETT Pm STAFF Wrzmzr Frank Bolden said law students are in for a trick or treat situation in his speech at Lee Chapel on Octo- ber 31 at 7 p.m. “Those of you pursuing law as a route to power are in for a rude awakening,” he said. Bolden is Vice President for the Corporate Staff at Johnson & Johnson, lnc. Prior to this promotion, Bolden was responsible for all employment relations matters, including ERISA, labor relations, equal opportunity and affirmative action for the entire corporation. Bolden has also served as the corporations secretary and as a member of its legal department. Bolden gave a speech on “How to Make Your Dream Reality,” which was sponsored by the Black Law Student Association, Minority Student Asso- ciation, Women Law Student Association, Contact and the Federalist Society. He said the rules and rewards of the game are changing and businesses are enhancingtheir abilities in global economy. Businesses are eliminating un- necessary costs such as legal fees. He cited a friend who said a company unable to raise prices reviewed its standing with three law firms and sought to negotiate the fees. One firm refused to negotiate, the second agreed to reduce and the third firm asked him what the fee should be. He said in a nation with one lawyer for every 35 citizens, Americans must ask are there too many lawyers. He said this has led to increased competition for young lawyers. Bolden reassured law students that opportunities are still available, but it will take more than intelli- gence, hard work, and a love for law to become successful. He has talked to his lawyer friends and came up with ten essentials for law students: integ- rity, a continued search for knowledge, efficiency, responsiveness, knowledge of the business, the abil- ity to build relationships, reliability and quality, excellent communications and presentation skills, courage and leadership. He said young lawyers need to possess some sense of ethics. “The profession has taken too many knocks to not have that standard,” he said. Bolden said lawyers must keep abreast of changes in the law and predict in what direction the law will move. The lawyer also must continually educate himself about new technology. No longer are corpo- rate deals conducted in smoke filled rooms but rather over faxes. “There’s no place for a new attorney who cannot capitalize on new technology,” he said. He said clients must feel comfortable with the ir lawyer. “You may write the greatest brief in the world but if you cannot answer the phone, you may lose their business,” Bolden said. Lawyers must also have the courage, orthe ability and will to say no when the time is required. He said there are times when there is no way for a lawyer to do what the client wants. He said law has become more of a business than a profession. Promotions are based on merit, loyalty and value. Lawyers must prove that they will make a contribution to the law firm. He said employers look at an applicant’s grades, resume and interview skills. He said racism and sexism still exists in the law profession. “It is true that to be successful in law,” he said, “you will have to deal with more than your white male successors.” Bolden said most whites are not racists and would like to eliminate this scourge. Minority and women lawyers should develop five additional steps for success: competence, courage, communication, can- dor and compatibility. “Americans are good at saying one thing and meaning another,” he said. Lawyers should communicate honestly about problems they see in the workplace. They should also avoid assumptions and should get the facts. He said lawyers will succeed much faster if they learn the culture of the company and if people feel comfortable with them. He related the story of man who felt he had not been promoted because he was black. He suggested that his friend cut his beard off. When he did, he got the promotion. Asked whether this placed a heavier burden on blacks, he said it is an individual choice. “You will have to draw the line as to where you think the limits are,” he said. ln response to a question about the glass ceiling, he said it does exist. “You feel it there when you look around and don’t see any black faces,” he said. “Proving that it’s there is another matter.” Bolden received his BA from the University of Vermont and his MBA from the Columbia Univer- sity Graduate School. He received his JD from the Columbia School of Law. Bolden is chairman ofthe Board at Union County College and is a member of the Board ofTrustees at the University of Vermont. A Vietnam war veteran, he has received numerous meritorious awards for community service. IFC gives money to campus, community groups BY CINDY YOUNG PHI STAFF WRITER The lnterfraternity Coucil has re- cently approved an impressive amount of donations to benefit various cam- pus and community affairs. Habitat for Humanity, a new group to the Washington and Lee campus, received a $2,500 donation from the IFC. This money will help fund the group’s plans to build a house this year for a needy family in the Lexing- ton community, on behalf of the se- nior class. The IFC presented the W&L Ath- letic Department with $425, an amount that financed the purchase of a piano. On this piano freshman Jonathan Riehlwillperforrn the W&L Swing at a variety of athletic events. Two $500 donations were also set aside to fund upcoming campus programs. A further donation of $400 was contributed to a literary reading held in the library this past Wednes- day, entitled “Writer’s Harvest: The National Reading.” The program is the country’s largest literary benefit to combat hunger. IFC President Kevin Batteh, contributing not only money but his reading skills as well, was among the featured readers. Why so much money to donate to charitable causes? IFC Treasurer Bryan King cites the much larger Rush participation this year than in the past. “Rush fines certainly helped” as well, King adds. Amongother events coming up on the IFC agenda is a Police Relations meeting next Thursday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. with the Lexington Police Department. This event occurs several times throughout the year, in order to open up communications between the policeand representativesofthecam— pus fraternities. Another issue the IFC is currently considering is the possibility of de- ferring Rush until Winter Term in the future. A later Rush is brought up each year, according to Batteh. The IFC will organize a commit- tee of sophomore and junior frater- nity members to fully consider the advantages and disadvantages of postponing Rush. A final event coming up on the IFC calendar is a meeting of pledge class presidents this Thursday, November 10, to discuss any pledge concerns.

This is how Paul Saboe, Service Vice-President, describes Al- pha Phi Omega. APO is a national service fraternity that has maintained the Alpha Beta Tau chapter on Washington and Lee’s campus for the past decade. For most of that time, APO was a little known organization with few participants who concentrated on weekend, on-campus service projects. However, this year the brothers (the traditional term for both the male and female members) of APO have made, according to Saboe, great strides in “capturing legitimacy.” Over Fall Term, APO has become very sions during home football games this fall has also been a good fund-raiser for the group. This year, money raised is being used to defray the cost.of traveling to the National APO Con- ference in Dallas, Texas for four mem- bers. In September, APO sponsored another fund—raiser, an ice cream eat- a-thon, through which about $200 was raised. However, only half of this money will be used for convention travel costs. The other half will soon be donated to Habitat For Humanity. The first community project which APO participated in was l_.exington’s Safe and Sound Project. Through this, members were able to landscape and refurbish portions of the Woods Last year's APO members pose for a year1§’6"6i.‘:“‘°‘° photo.

However, some APO members would like to ‘fonn a coalition with members of these two councils in orderto help the fraternities and sororities coordinate their service projects. Throughout October, APO has been busy with several new service projects, the first being a tutoring program at Waddell Elementary School. Through this project, twenty stu- dents dedicate a couple hours per week to tutoring students in kinder- garten through fifth grade. Another local school has also been the target of an APO project. At Rockbridge County High School, Saboe has es- tablished an APO Service Club. The active. Members began the term helping with Freshmen Move-In Day. Shortly after, APO did one of its biggest fund-raisers of the year, renting dorm refrigerators. Selling conces- and Brubaker Field. After the other sixteen fraternities on cam- pus concluded their Rush, APO’s began, bring- ing in six new members. This pledge class Stargate lacks promise O: 15.25: By KIRK SUsoNG Phi Movie Reviewer Stargate — in": Remember theScoobyDoo episodes where Scooby and Shaggy were joined by the Harlem Globetrotters, or Batman and Robin, or even Ma Barker and her gang? Maybe you’ve seen old comedies likeAbbot and Costello Meet Franken- stein. Occasionally, mixing different char- acters and genres makes a film fun and interesting, building on the strength of each individual theme. That is clearly what the makers of Stargate were after— imagine King Tut meets Buck Rogers meets Conan the Barbarian. Unfortunately, the whole doesn’t equal the sum of its parts. Essentially, the plot revolves around a ‘stargate’ to another planet, found Davidson) discovers that Colonel O’Neill has been given orders to de- stroy the stargate, to prevent anything dangerous going back to Earth. Naturally he gets mad, and in his anger decides instead to send the bomb back to Earth. \ But when his once-Egyptian slaves discover that Ra is just an alien and not a god, they too want to throw off his rule. Toss in a romance between Dr. Jack- son and a young native girl, and soon there is a heady running together of plots, all of which require the defeat of Ra. At first glance it really seems like this movie has potential, managing to mix the historic details of Indiana] ones with the cool weapons of Star Wars. But it quickly becomes apparent that this clever mixture is just about the only thing this movie has going for it. The biggest problem is the screen- play, which hurries along way too quickly. There isn’t nearly enough develop- ment of the plot - it almost seems like a Star Trek episode expanded to two hours. One reason Star Trek can get away with that is because of the excellent interplay between characters. But, Stargate is a one-shot movie, not a televised serial. The result is that there is also no character development, and what could be excellent roles go unfinished. The acting is not at all bad, but it is difficult to bring to life characters who do so much in so little time. Spader and Russell, though both decent enough actors, seem like the cut-outs they are forced to be. I was pleasantly surprised with the alien, Ra. I am not a Jaye Davidson fan (re- member him from The Crying Game?). However, he managed to bring a lot of foreboding and malice to the charac- ter, despite his soft, feminine features and very slight build. For all that the film lacks, it defi- nitely has that old Hollywood magic. The sets and special effects are first rate.

If the high school students show enough interest, members of W&L’s APO chapter hope to do joint service projects with them. Another PAGE 3 project that APO is involved in is helping Lambda Chi Alpha with its role in the North American Food Drive. The two chapters are collecting food for Total Action Against Pov- erty, an organization that will distribute the food to local families. APO’s agenda for the remainder of the fall term includes volunteering at the Special Olym- pics at Roanoke College this weekend. In mid- November, members of APO will go on a retreat, during which they will plan activities and projects for winter and spring and terms. This will include planning activities for the winter pledge class. This second round of pledging will take place at the end of January, and will culminate in APO’s annual semifor- mal. - Any students interested in pledging in Janu- ary or getting involved in any APO project are invited to attend a weekly APO meeting, held every Thursday at 8:00 p.m. in the Game Room of the University Center. weekend receipts. $16.7 million, 1 week, 2,033 screens 2. 13.4,. ‘?'.=u..\-.=5.7 $30.6 million, 3 weeks, 1,494 screens 3. elk. §p¢e'ealLsl:-o4 $43.6 million, 4 weeks, 2,363 screens 4. 13....

Oliver North is on the cover of Newsweek. Political scientists are predicting that Republicans could take over the Congress. The words "Republican" and "conservative" fill the air these days. Rush Limbaugh thinks Clinton doesn’t have a chance for reelection, leaving room for such conservative luminaries as Dick Cheney, Jack Kemp, Bob Dole, Phil Gramm and Dan Quayle (dream on Danny boy). The Re- publicans are having a grand time criticizing the extremes of leftist politics. Yet, David Frum, author of Dead Right, suggests the Republican Party and conservatives in general have some internal problems to work out. Frum argues that conservatives have moved away from their traditional anti-govemment stance. He said conserva- tives fall into three basic categories: optimist, moralist, and nationalist. Kemp, Bennett, and Buchanan fall into these camps respectively. Optimist conservatives believe that government can pro- vide incentives to change the immoral behavior of the underclass. Optimists such as Kemp propose government sponsored ‘ideas such as enterprise zones and tenant control. If poor people felt they had a stake in their community, they would improve their lives, their environment. Kemp acknowl- edges the failures of Johnson’s War on Poverty but believes government linked with traditional values can make a dif- ference. Frum argues t at Kemp forgets that the majority of people who live in public housing subsist on welfare. Frum argues that enterprise zones have proven not to work. School vouchers are another optimist conservative idea that according to Frum does not work. School vouchers operate on the notion that if public schools were privatized and allowed to compete in the free market, education would improve. Vouchers would give parents choice in what type of education they would receive. Although championed by conservatives, Frum argues that vouchers would not work. Vouchers uses the free market to answer the question of what schools will teach. The problem is that vouchers conflict with the establishment clause of the Constitution which creates the barrier between state and religion. Frum further contends there is no evidence that students do better at private schools than public. Vouchers simply sidestep the conflicts over values. Values are a major concern of moralist conservatives. Bennett and others believe that America has moved away from its traditional, or what Frum calls bourgeois, values. He thinks that the major problems of crime and poverty derive from moral decay. The solution is that the federal government should use its power to renew traditional val- ues. If people learn values such as virtue, honesty and character, social problems will become less vexing. “lf the society is wholesome, then the instructions broadcast to the people at the bottom will be wholesome too.” Probably the most extreme conservatives are nationalists such as Buchanan. Nationalists contend that immigration has not only burdened state and local governments with rising costs in welfare and education but that it has the frightening possibility of destroying the Anglo-American character of the nation. In other words American is becom- ing less European, less white. Nationalists also contend that America must again become number one. They resort to the isolationism once rampant in the years after World War II. In one particularly weak argument, Frum compares this nationalistic conservatism with multiculturalism. “Nation- alist conservatism simply imports left-wing identity politics into a new context.” I found this more than any other argument particularly hard to swallow. He makes other less credible arguments. He contends that Reagan failed to slash federal spending. According to him, federal spending actually went up, which is true. However, it should be noted that Reagan spent money on military while he slashed spending for various social pro- grams. Frum also believes that the Religious Right does not exist. If the Religious Right does not exist, somebody please inform Pat Robertson of this wonderful news. Frum writes with fervor and urgency as he documents clearly what the Republican Party must do before the 1996 presidential elections. Although I disagreed strongly with much of his ideas, I appreciated his critique of conservatives. Frum gives a concise picture of what conservatives believe and why they think a certain way. Always provocative and controversial, Frum tears away the mask and allows readers to get an inside glimpse into some of the triumphs and tragedies of conser- vatism, all the way from its inception to its present and to its future. Although Frum is dead wrong on many issues, Frum nonetheless makes Dead Right an interesting read.

Cant afford to save for retirement? The truth is, you can't afford not to. Not when you realize that your retirement can last 20 to 30 years or more. You'll want to live at least as comfortably then as you do now. And that takes planning. By starting to save now, you can take advantage of tax-deferral and give your money time to compound and grow. Consider this: set aside just $100 each month beginning at age 30 and you can accumulate over $138,2o9* by the time you reach age 65. But wait ten years and you'll have to budget $203 each month to reach the same goal. % Ensuring the future for those who shape itf“ \ Start planning yourfnture.

Not this time. The Generals were in no mood for another upset, and drubbed the Eagles,_28-3 at Bridgewater’s Jopson field be- fore 1,800 spectators, the largest crowd to see W&L on the road this year, W&L sent them home un- happy as they triumphed for the third time in the last four weeks, improving their record to 3-4 overall and 1-3 in the Old Do- minion Athletic Conference. Bridgewater dropped into sole possession of last place at 0-8 overall; 0-4 in the conference. Even though the game turned into a rout, there were no indica- tions of that beforehand, consid- ering Bridgewater’s past mark against the Generals. W&L head coach Gary Fallon warned the team before the game not to take the Eagles lightly. ‘‘I hate that week more than any other,” he said. “They al- ways play tough against Wash- ington and Lee.” The Genefals didn’t take long to jump on top. Less than six minutes into the game, wide re- ceiver Jake Kimball snared a 13- yard touchdown pass from quar- terback Brooks Fischer to give W&L a 7-0 advantage. Bridgewater closed the gap to 7-3 with a 40-yard field goal, but Fischer found the end zone from one yard out to boost the gap to 14-3 at half-time. “Brooks is starting to blos- som and is taking over the lead- Men’s soccer concludes, uphill battle all the Way By ERIC SWENSEN Phi Staff Writer ership,” Fallon mentioned. Just as in last week’s game against Sewanee, the Generals’ defense refused to allow Bridgewater to get back into the game in the second half, and the offense methodically wore out the Eagles’ defense, finishing with a touchdown in each quar- ter. Along with Fischer, who fin- ished 13-22 for 122 yards and two touchdowns, freshman run- ning back Seth McKinley and senior wideout Hayne Hodges were the main cogs in the W&L attack. McKinley continued to sizzle by topping the 100 yard mark for the third straight week with a 135 yard effort. The last General to accomplish that feat was 1985 ODAC Player of the Year Kevin Weaver.Hodges diced the Bridgewater secondary,to the tune of seven catches for 70 yards for his part of the damage. McKinley’sone yardTDburst in the third quarter extended the margin to 21-3, and William Propst hauled in a 24 yard touch- down hurl from Fischeiwith 9:40 remaining in the game to close the coffin on Bridgewater. The seniorwide receiverfinished with four receptions for 41 yards and is currently the leading receiver in the ODAC. “We’re playingconsistentball offensively,” Fallon said. “We had two twelve play drives for scores, and we stayed away from tumoveis.” While the Generals’ offense avoided turnovers, the defense forced them. W&L intercepted four passes on the afternoon. Junior Butler Ball picked off one, as well as having six tackles, and a field goal block. Seniors Stephen Cox and Jon Wagner and freshman Chris Watson had the other picks. Junior defensive tackle Rob- ert Hull ravaged Bridgewater for two sacks and twelve tackles. Senior linebacker Andrew Coo- per aided the effort with nine stops in his first start of the year. The Generals will now be faced with a road trip to Greens- boro, North Carolina to meet the Guilford Quakers. W&L has en- joyed playing in North Carolina, as they have won their last four contests in the state, including a 21-0 shellacking of Guilford in 1992. This year’s version of the Quakers differs tremendously from last year’s 2-8 team, which edged out the Generals 14-13 in Lexington. This season, Guilford is 7-1 overall (3-1 in the ODAC). However, the Generals can play spoilers. A W&L victory Saturday would knock Guilford out of the ODAC race and hand the title to Emory and Henry. The Quakers lead the series with W&L 4-3. “Offensively, they ’re the best people we’ve faced so far,” Fallon commented. “Their skill people are very good.” _ The ‘skill players’ Fallon is referring to are freshman run- ning back David Heggie, who is ‘ running away with the rushing title with a total of 963 yards, sophomore quarterback Santes Beatty,wholeadsthe ODACwith 1,132 yards passing, and fresh- man wide receiver Junior Lord, who is currently second to Propst in receptions. As if that were not frightening enough, the Guilford defense is only allowing a stingy 13.6 points per game. Despite all this, Fallon thinks that the Generals as a whole are now playing the kind of football they’re capable of playing. ‘‘I’m glad to see we’re gener- ating offense, and the defense is staying in there,” he said. “We can always strive to be even bet- ter, though.” Tory and Jason expound upon everything; football, hockey... The men’s soccer team concluded what should be viewed as a pretty successful season on a down note, as they were unable to give their graduating seniors a win as a going away present, recording a 4-1 loss to the Keydets of VMI. The loss gives the Generals a .500 record at 7-7-2. The Generals faced an uphill battle from the beginning, as they played their only game of the year against a Division I team. Coach Rolf Piranian knew heading into the game what a struggle it would be for his scrappy but outgunned bunch. Against Division I teams like VMI, commented Piranian, ‘‘It is going to be very physical. You either have to get rid of the ball or get creamed.” Due to this difference in playing style, Piranian knew that “...our kids are going to have to make adjustments to play them.” Coming off a disappointing loss in the Old Dominion Athletic 197th pick, Gus Frerote, and the Wash- ington Redskins. The Redskins actually gave the high-flying Birds a contest. Gus Frerote was mediocre in the matchup, as the Eagles beat their NFC opponents for the 5th time in a row in the last minute of the game. Randall “wanna-be Doug Williams” Cunningham calmly and collectedly led the Eagles on a last minute march setting up Eddie “Money” Murray to kick the game-winning field goal. The Eagles now sit a pretty 6-2, as they look to make a run at the Dallas Cowboys. Buddy Ryan’s homecoming to Philadelphia this weekend should pro- allowed Hennan Moore to continue on a . second-and-eight play running during OT, when he was clearly down allowing Jason “Matthew Carl” Hansen to kick the game winning field goal.

Wesleyan By JOSHUA HESLINGA Phi Staff Writer The ride came to an end-for the W&L women’s soccer team last Friday against nemesis Vir- ginia Wesleyan, by another heart- breakingly close margin. The only goal of the game came a bare 26 seconds into the second half, as the ball managed to skip through the Generals’ ing distance, but the Marlins’ successful defensive time-con- ally thought we outplayed them. No matter how many times I look back on it, we still did ev- erything right but score.” The loss was the second one goal defeat at the hands of the Marlins this season, ending the team’s season at a strong 10-5 record overall (including the tour- nament), and 6-2 in the ODAC (not including the tournament). Looking back at the season, however, there is little room for pessimism. This season was Hathom’s best at W&L, improv- ing her career record to .500 at 59-59-9 overall and to 34-24-6 in the ODAC. For her players, it was equally successful. The team set or tied 11 records, seven by freshman phenom Erica Reineke. lose sight of what we were there for. “For the team, we had a really great season because we had a lot of depth and skill.
