Surprising for a group of powers who argued bit- terly and stubbornly prior to the war? Certainly. But what makes this proposal so “constructive” is the plain common sense and fairness that pervades it. All of its facets are aimed at rebuilding Iraq in the economic, political, and humanitarian sectors. A few of the proposal’s provisions include establishing the U.S. and Iraq, giving them limited control over establishment of an Iraqi government, and, more importantly, making those two nations responsible for upholding the UN’s basic charter of human rights within Iraq’s borders. establishing the new government, instead the UN would have considerable influence in setting up a new admin- istration as well. Other UN institutions, such as the World Health Organization and the World Bank, would move in as well to reestablish Iraqi basic infrastructure. , Additionally, the UN, under the proposal, would seize the assets of former Hussein regime leaders, putting the money into hurnanitarianism. posal are those dealing with oil. The proposal calls for a free Iraqi oil market, with the revenues from oil sales going directly into a humanitarian and reconstruction ftmd to be established by the occupying powers (rather than going straight into their treasuries, a move which the Bush administration pondered, but eventually dis- missed as too unfair in the U.S.’s favor). While putting the sales revenue into reconstruction is not controver- sial, a completely free Iraqi oil market benefits the world’s industrialized powers, most notably the United States. While U.S. demands for access to Iraqi oil sho11ld come as no surprise to anyone, at least we see that the Bush and Blair administrations are willing to open up the market rather than arrange some sort of exclusive export system.

This step could be problematic because many European powers, including most prominently France and Rus- contractual obligations will be paid off by the occupy- ing powers, the fiiture Iraqi democratic government, or at all is in doubt, and may cause a considerable snag in this proposal’s acceptance. * Nevertheless, the proposal overall is very much the program that needs to be put in place to begin the recovery of Iraq. It’s not entirely an idealist’s paradise, what with the oil shenanigans, but it will do much to- wards accomplishing the stated goals of the war. If it also accomplishes those unstated goals related to oil, that is acceptable if it also accomplishes positive re- sults in Iraq. France, Russia, Germany, and the citizens of the United States seem to understand that. Hodges defends Spring Term Dear Editor, The six-week term exists because it offers unique oppor- tunities for learning. It allows us to teach classes off campus and anywhere on the planet. For some subjects, especially the languages and some sciences (e.g., geology taught in the Grand Canyon, or biology studied in the Galapagos), location makes a vast diiference in learning opportunities. Studying Russian in Moscow rather than in Lexington is to live Russia, not merely to learn about Russia. Second, because students can devote full time to one course of study only, they can be totally absorbed in one subject for a significant period of time. The study is in- tense and it allows exploration in greater depth and breadth than is usually possible in the ordinary run of things. Those educational advantages are not available in any of the three calendars the Administration has asked us to consider. 1) 12- 1 2-6 with students required to enroll in two courses: You cannot study French in Paris if you must be in Lexington to study accounting. [Incidentally, that could be “This is no e to criticize “He ’s a perfect gentleman and the president.” -Brooke Sanden ‘06 should be president of the school” —Chris Kimmel ‘O6 fixed if we were to award six credits for all courses taught outside Lexington. In fact, in 1973 I did just that for a Spring Term course in medical ethics.] 2) 13- 1 3-4 might be educa- tionally sound, provided students enroll in only one course during the four weeks. The problem is that when we take into account time for preparation, travel, and acclimation to a new environment, actual time living and working off carn- pus is severely limited. 3) 14-14 eliminates all special learn- ing opporttmities afforded by the short term. Furthermore, it cheats every student out of two weeks of instruction each year. Why do we need to do that? That “other schools are doing it” is not sufficient reason. The main rationale for this cut seems to be to help in recruitment of faculty by reducing teaching loads and al- lowing more time for faculty research. It is said that we are having difficulty attracting “the best people” to Wash- ington and Lee (which must be a real morale downer for faculty appointed within the last ten years or so). My thought is that the “best people” for this University are those whose primary commitment is to teaching, and whose research is designed chiefly to strengthen teaching, not “What the @#*$%?” -Kasee Sparks ‘06 “Nice do.” -Tirn Blair ‘06 to promoting the career of researchers. I weep over the prospect that we could go from being a first rate teaching institution to being a third-rate research institution. I conclude, therefore, that none of the three calen- dars is acceptable for Washington and Lee, unless we retain the six-week term, require students to take only one , course if they study off campus, and award six credits to those who use the term advantageously. Finally, there are those who lir1k the calendar question to the reduction of faculty teaching loads from seven to six courses per year. No one has explained that linkage to my satisfaction, a fact I am willing to admit may be merely another reflection of my own mental density. In truth, of course, promise of such a reduction in “load” is fraudulent because it has been deter- / mined already that we will not appoint additional faculty. Un- less we shrink curricular offerings by one-seventh, individual faculty teaching loads will actually remain the same because class sizes will increase by one-seventh. Sincerely, Louis W.

Some try to go as far away as possible. No matter where they end up, most high school graduates hope that college will provide a fresh start, a new experience, and an escape from high school. At W&L, we know this dream is one that can never be realized. 0 We know what a fantastic school this is, with its academic merit and its pristine beauty and the opportimities it gives us. But we also know that socially, W&L is nothing more than a high school after high ’ school. W&L’s small size has its advantages. We, of course, are very familiar with those academic advantages. These include, but are certainly not limited tto, small class size, a favorable A A 4 A. faculty-student ratio, and countless other factors. Other than these issues and the others that we have all read in brochures, the small size also gives that small-town feeling of comfort. You never have to look far to find someone you know, or at least find someone that you recognize. And though you may not always like or understand everyone around you, at least it’s better than being trapped and lonely in a sea of strange and unfamiliar faces. Then of course, there are those not-so-nice aspects of high school that rear their ugly heads in Lexington. Consider cliques. In high school,whether it be private or public, so much of our identities are formed by the cliques in which we claimed membership. Like or not, this simply does not end with graduation from high school. Seriously — more than a few students would agree that the Greek system ABSOLUTE FRATLORD TIM SMITH ‘04 WE KNOW WHAT A FANTASTIC SCHOOL THIs Is, WITH ITS ACADEMIC MERIT AND ITs PRISTINE BEAUTY AND THE OPPORTUNITIES IT GIVES US. BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT SOCIALLY, W&L IS NOTHING MORE THAN A HIGH SCHOOL AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. LIFE is just one big group of cliques on steroids. Now don’t get me wrong. I love the W&L Greek system as much as the next frat lord. But to suggest that fraternities and sororities aren’t, on one level or another, a form of cliques is to fall into folly. The obvious disadvantage of the tight-knit society of a small school is the rampant gossip and the mercilessness that has often been known to accompany it. Ironically, the school now enforces a three-strike system when it comes to alcohol or substance infractions. But in the school’ s social setting, three-strikes would be a godsend — we could never be so nice. Often all it takes is one mistake, one moment of poor judgment, one night of too much alcohol, or one wrong selection of friends for a reputation to find itself in the W&L ‘doghouse.’ Recent events have made me realize how ridiculous this atmosphere can be. We all do stupid stuff. Maybe we’re just looking for a scapegoat to take our minds off our own faults and project them on someone else. Why not? Why not use the social faux pas of our peers to persuade ourselves of our own perfection. Is that not the high school thing to do? College is supposed to be a fun time in our lives. A time of indiscretion. Atime of reckless abandon. But to all you W&L students — BEWARE. If you choose to do something fun or reckless or silly or just plain diunb while in Lexington, be prepared to be everyone’s punching bag. In big state schools, you would be fine. You wouldn’t have to worry about having your reputation burned at the stake. But you came to Washington & Lee High School, and it’s a price that, at times, we all have to pay.

Had I not read the Shakespearean play my senior year of high school, I would probably still think of the Disney cartoon. However, I find it highly unlikely that the school’s only literary arts magazine would name itself after a Disney cartoon character. But then again, you never know. She was quite poetic, after all. Shakespeare’s character, from what I remember, was an interesting ‘thing.’ It wasn’t a person or an actual physical figure ~ none of the other characters even knew that it existed, except for the reader and Prospero. And it didn’t walk or run or creep around Gollum-like — did it fly? Maybe — it seemed to disappear and reappear, like a ghost or spirit from ‘the other world.’ I remember my teacher taking a Very psychological approach to the character, arguing that Ariel was only an aspect of Prospero’s mind, an imaginary figure he had invented, probably to keep himself company while on the island. But that was the approach he always took towards the creative-side of the class — very analytical with a logical explanation for everything. He was a dud and his class was boring anyway. Mock Con bands succeed despite inclement weather :55: 1‘ AURA LEIGH BIRD“/ELL‘03 expression is lost somewhere between As for the “Ariel” literary arts magazine, it represents just about everything but logic. The poems and short stories are as boundless as our own creative minds. The poems are expressions of the imaginative side of humanity. The poetry found in the Ariel emphasizes that sometimes, there is no rational explanation for certain aspects of human life. . .and that this illogical, irrational, unscientific side of our existence is something that should be recognized and celebrated. The purpose of these papers, essays, and presentations is to design logical and reasonable answers to issues and problems — thus, freedom of the reality of application and the need for objectivity in creating justice. However, education should not be limited to such objectivity and should never seek to subdue these aspects of humanity, mainly because life itself is not solely objective. The Ariel is the outlet, the escape from the logical and analytical side of education. Its primary purpose is to provide a means of thinking artistically and creatively, while exercising full freedom of expression. And indeed, if you have read poems from the Ariel, you know that this student publication falls on the more liberal side of W&L. The student poems in this publication of the Ariel are nothing short of creative, illogical, and brilliant, as well as the artwork and photography. The magazine will be ready by the end of this week, making its grand appearance at various sites around campus (like the Dhall, Coop/Bookstore, and University Center). Pick one up and explore the ‘rapture.’ I conclude with a preview of the winter 2003 Ariel from a poem titled “Lucian Freud Speakst” Cerith ’s unblinking confidence begins my work but as dawn becomes noon, aura leaves the room and paint becomes flesh.

They used to play shows in Memphis all the time. It was really cool to get the chance to see them here in Lexington.” Amongst other concert-goers, this seems to be the general consensus.

Eight Generals received recognition as well as Man- ager Jeff Stickley, who was named ODAC coach of the year for the third time. Senior shortstop Michael Hanson capped off a tre- mendous career by being named to his fourth straight all-ODAC team. This season, he also became the first W&L baseball player ever to be named ODAC player of the year. In addition to playing arguably the most im- portant position in the field, Hanson hit .371 with 5 home runs and 23 RBIs. He scored a school record 46 runs and also led the team with 3 triples and 14 stolen bases. Hanson has left his mark on the W&L all-time record book. He is currently the school’s all-time leader in games played (136), at-bats (519), hits (187), runs (148), doubles (43), triples (13) and stolen bases (51). He has hit .360 with 18 home runs and 83 RBIs for his career. Hanson was joined on the first team by his fellow senior co-captains, first baseman Brian Gladysz and this year, averaging 75.4, 76.4, and 77.9 strokes‘ per round, respectively.

Gladysz finished the year with a .358 average, 4 home rims, 33 RBIs and 33 rims scored. He also drew a school record 31 walks. In addition to being a stellar defensive outfielder, Littlehale hit .362 with a home rim, 23 RBIs and 27 I'11IlS scored. Joining these three seniors on the first team were juniors Bryan Mulhem and Peter Dean and sophomore Zach Bausch. Mulhern was primarily a catcher but also saw time in the out- field and as a pitcher.
