MONDAY, SEPT 12, 2005 BY THE STUDENTS AND FOR THE STUDENTS SINCE 1897 Id»; VOLUME~6+X", NUMBER 3 7 FROM THE EDITOR Welcome back! In thisfirst Back-to- School issue, we want you to start off the school year off as informed, energized, and prepared as possible. We sat down with acting president Harlan Beckley and heard his thoughts on all the hot-button issues on campus so you know what to expect from our administration. We also included our special Guide to Lexington on pages 4-5, complete with a map, driving directions to get you everywhere you want to go, and a fun and informative list of our 25 favorite things to do around town. Pull it out, post it on your hall, stick it in your glove compartment, and hang on to it because we really hope this issue will be a reliable resource for you. It’s the beginning of a new year, and the Phi has some exciting changes and refreshing innovations in the works. As Washington and Lee’s oldest newspaper, we will strive to be responsible journalists this year at a paper that we believe to be smart, respected, real, and trusted by the student body. We plan to better mirror student interests, since we have been called “the voice of the students” since our first issue in 1897. For this reason, we want to hear from you. Please give us feedback on what stories you’d like to see from us. We are expanding the staff and are always looking for writers and photographers who want to contribute. Email us with ideas, questions, or concerns at phi@wlu.edu. Thanks for reading, Emily Hulen Editor-in-Chief WHAT’S INSIDE Guide to Lex Our first issue every year is dedicated to getting you better acquainted with your town and your school, so though you’ll find less content than usual, we hope you’ll find it more helpful, too.

STEVEN MARINOS / PHOTO EDITOR Acting president Harlan Beckley will return to being the director of his brainchild, the Shepherd Poverty Program, when a new president is found. Bend it like Beckley Beckley kicks off the year with the students’ support and an ambitious agenda You know him.You love him. And now that he’s serving as W&L’s interim president, you want to know where he stands on those pressing issues you really care about. We sat down this week with acting president Harlan Beckley to hear what he thinks about some of the hottest topics on campus. By Emily Hulen and Chris Lauderman EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. CONTRIBUTING EDITOR What do you want to see done with the Greek system this year? I hope the Greek system will remain healthy and thrive throughout the year. So, no major changes? I see no major changes. What was your reaction to the new Princeton Review report that did not list W&L as a top- ranking party school? We’re all relieved, of course. _ But the Princeton Review is not the main source with which we would look for an affirmation of the quality of Washington and Lee. The Princeton Review will say what they will. What do you foresee in the future of our alcohol policy? Our alcohol policy will stay as it is, for the time being... We will have a mandated review of those initiatives [this year], of which the students and faculty and staff will participate... How many students will be on that? A number of students and a number of faculty members and a number of staff. There are seven different subcommittees, as I recall... This has been worked out prior to my coming to this office, by Provost Williams and Dean Watkins and the student leadership. Sexual assault was such a hot topic last year — how will you address it this year? . We’ll indeed continue to provide the kind of education needed in order to prevent sexual assault. We don’t have any intentions of changing those policies. Can we expect to see your mark on the strategic report? You can expect to see forward progress on the strategic planning issue, forward progress that is a collective endeavor of students, faculty, alumni, administration and staff. Has a master planner been hired? There is consideration for bringing in a master planner, and . the details of that, we’re working with that project right now with Vice President Grasso. What do you want to accomplish on campus this year? What I intend to do is to... we intend not to tread water at Washington and Lee this year but maintain the momentum that has been established already, so that when the new president arrives, she or he will inherit an institution that has direction but also allows that person latitude to develop the issues that she or he deems important in going forward. Our goal this year is to maintain momentum for an already thriving institution. How do you feel about the Shepherd Program’s development in recent years? Ah, thrilled by the Shepherd Program’s development in recent years! I’m very happy that Stacy McLoughlin Taylor will be the acting director this year... I’m thrilled about the progress... before I accepted this position, I had to make sure that the Shepherd Program would be in good hands. And I’m looking forward to the events afterward, when I return to being the director of the program. Philip Norwood has noted your “ability to bring people together, to meet and surmount challenges in a spirit of collegiality and cooperation, and to direct their efforts toward achieving a common set of goals.” What do you feel best qualifies you for the position of interim president and how do you plan on using that to better the school? . Well, my hope that I fit those fairly high expectations of Rector Norwood’s but I do know this faculty and I do think I know the students from teaching here and having spent 31 years here. I also know a number of ’ alumni and I will work hard to enlist to peop1e—staff faculty, and students to help us move forward with what we’ve been doing this year. As you say, you’ve spent 31 years here—how has W&L shaped you as a person? That’s a very interesting question. W&L has given me and I think a lot of the faculty and students here the opportunity to take initiatives on our own and develop our potential, and I am grateful for what W&L has done in that regard. So it’s offered me an opportunity to develop as a scholar and a as teacher and to take on the challenges of the Shepherd Program for 8 years. What qualities do you think we should be looking for in the next president? Someone who will affirm the important core values of this institution — the close Beckley says to be on the iookout for... " thepmandated review of our 4~year-old alcohol policy ° progress of the Shepherd Program on a national level ' forward progress on the vsuategic plan ' a new president probably between March andisept. relationship between faculty and students, the Honor System — I think there’s a growing interest among the student body in service and civic engagement and who will take new initiatives affirm and develop our capacity to provide new initiatives that can help students develop... Any guess on how long it may take to find someone? Well we can’t expect to find someone probably before March or April at the earliest, but we can’t be sure—it’s an open- ended process. We’re going to wait to get the best possible candidate. I don’t expect to return to the classroom until a year from September. We hope to have a president in place sometime soon. I know it’s early on in the process, but do you know of any interested candidates at this point? Well, Emily, I don’t know who the candidates are, but I do know... Brian Murchison from the law school is the chair of the search committee and he will be receiving nominations. Students are welcome to nominate a candidate, and students will be involved in the search committee. Students are welcome to advise the committee of the criteria they think are important for W&L. Students ask for specific qualities in next president By Erin Julius CONTRIBUTING EDITOR Next weekibegins the search for a new W&L president. Board of Trustees Rector Philip Norwood will announce the members of the Search and Screening Committee this week, said Professor Brian Murchison, chair of the committee. A website has been set up so that interested students can share their thoughts about the search process. Students can find fur- ther information and updates at presidentialsearch.wlu.edu and can email their input to presidentialsearch@wlu.edu. Murchison said an open fo- rum is planned next week so that members of the Washington and Lee community, including stu- dents, can meet with an outside consultant, Dr. Barbara Taylor of Academic Search Consultation Service. Student leaders already know what they want to see in Presi- dent Tom Burish’s successor. “It should be someone who is students-first,” said Drew Dav- enport, ’06, a dorm counselor. “It needs to be someone who is out on campus,’ at football games and in the Commons - someone who isn’t just a suit.-” Davenport said that last year, Burish took Davenport’s hall of freshman out for pizza. Sharing dinner with the president of the University made an impact on the freshman, Davenport said. “That wouldn’t happen at state schools.” Sonia Siu, ’07, works to help raise money for the Annual Fund and said she hopes the next President already has strong ties to the alumni. “Contact and relationships with student leaders is also im- portant,” Siu said.

Want to get some solo exercise time in? Gaines Hall’s basement features a smaller, but stillfully-loaded gym that is rarely used. Perfect for when all the machines in Warner Center are taken, and perfect for when you want to blast your own music. Haven on the hill. Solace can be sought in the ravine between Woods Creek Apartments and the main campus at the library and Commons. This natural haven boasts a stream, woodlands, and is well-lit at night, as well as being accessible from anywhere on campus. Perfect for meditation, martial arts, play rehearsals, or just about anything else. Wake up and smell the coffee. Show up at the Lex Coffee Shop around 7:30 a.m. on any Wednesday morning to enjoy live, impromptu folk music with all theilocal talent (including our very own Burr Datz). Get ready for a scare. Leam local Lex history by taking the ghost tour. A must for freshmen not familiar with Lexington. A cut above. Salon 215, located at 215 S. Main St., is great for any hair needs. The atmosphere is the best in Lexington. Kudos for making males feel welcome by having guy magazines like Esquire in the waiting area. Have an art attack. All the art galleries in Lex open up for wine and cheese tastings on the first Friday of every month, starting at 5:30 p.m. So get in touch with your artsy side as you snack, sip, and stroll the streets. Hit the highways. Take a drive on one of the many scenic highways that run through Lexington. and blow off some steam while taking in some , of the gorgeous views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Get your sushi fix. Stop by the International Food Store, grab some great sushi you can’t find anywhere else in Lex, and imagine you’re in civilization instead of the middle of nowhere for a bit. The reel deal. Take a trip back in time and enjoy a good movie with good friends under the stars at Hull’s Drive-in. Fall in love with Lenfest. Give in to your taste for the arts and check out one of the many great plays, operas, and concerts sponsored by the school. Lee Chapel without the blazer. Although we all walk past it everyday, few of us have ever stopped and toured our own national landmark, Lee Chapel. Take a peek in and learn about some of the history of our college and its founders. Below the chapel is a small but informative museum that houses some historic treasures. Best of all, Lee Chapel attire is not required! Tales of the crypt. Many people visit the Lexington graveyard to see Stonewall Jackson’s tomb, but the enticements of the graveyard reach c 9 o o o u o 0 0 0 0 0 c u o o o 0 o o o o 0 0 0 o o o o o a o 0 u n o o o 0 0 0 0 0 c 0 0 5 a 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 u 0 0 o o o o 0 0 0 0 n c 9 9 o o u o o o o o o o o o o o o 0 o c o o 0 0 o 0 n o 0 o o o o o o c o o o o o o 0 o o 0 o 0 o 0 0 o 0 a o 0 far beyond history. For the excessively romantic among us, bring along a book of poetry and read it aloud under a willow. Or go just before dusk to experience the creepiness. A quick walk through the graveyard puts your life and its problems into perspective as you realize that this too shall pass. Cheap pleasures. Daily Grind house blend with Splenda warms you up. Pink Hut’s swirl with sprinkles cools you down (best $1.30 out there). Music of the night. The Theater at Lime Kiln has great outdoor music on Sunday nights, and the local volunteers are a wealth of information. Who needs McDonald’s? Kenny Burger is hands down the best place to get a milkshake, fries, and a burger. This ain’t bodily health, but it sure helps the mental state of mind. Cat’n Books. The cat, Annie, at Books & Co. on Nelson Street cracks me up. It’s a cute little bookstore, but that cat puts it over the top. Tangable support. Tracey at Intimate U can fix you up for any of you Washington and Lee events. Victoria’s Secret has nothing on Tracey’s skill. Bah, ruining my skin. Laying out by the Ruins with shorts, in my case 45spf, and a text book is almost the perfect way to spend an afternoon. It could be considered studying?! Goshen Lizarding. Laying out on the rocks at Goshen and napping is purely blissful. Wonderful drive and plenty of‘natural beauty. Raining cats and dogs. Didn’t do so hot on a test or having ‘relationship issues’? Well go wash a puppy at the SPCA and you’ll feel a hell of a lot better. You’ll be completely drenched and smell horrible, but it’s a small price to pay. Best views around. Drive to Buena Vista and you’ll never again complain that there is nothing to do in Lexington. Comparisons can. work wonders. Eat at Nick’s for Italian or Canton for Chinese, then plan for a night at SVU’s theatre to see talent on a low budget. Bagel Wednesday. Healthy Foods gets Fresh bagels in on Tuesdays, so you don’t have to deal with Lendens for awhile. Eat your greens. Not the biggest meat fan? Healthy foods has the best lunches (they’re big enough to also be dinner) and they are all homemade and right there next to campus. The women who work there do amazing things with beans and rice! A torrid love affair. The chocolate cake at Joyful Spirit and the Volcano at Cafe Michel. Enough said. Late night pillaging. Wade through the $5.50 DVD bin at Wal- Mart to find some hidden gems at great prices. Emily Peck, Kathryn Krall, Caley Anderson, Chris Lauderman, and Emily Hulen.
