PiKA sus MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2013 By Neil Haggerty N EWS EDITOR The Washington and Lee University community will have the opportunity to witness the honor system at work in a Student Body Hearing on Thursday in Lee Chapel. A student was found guilty in a closed hearing by the Executive Committee and decided to appeal this hearing to the W&L community. If the accused is found guilty in this hearing, he or she will be dismissed from the University. If the student is not found guilty, all re- cords from the hearing will be destroyed at the end of the academic year. THE PLAY'ERS The President of the Student Bar As- sociation, Amy Conant Law ’ 13, will act as the chair of the Student Body Hear- ing. Conant appointed Benjamin Willson Law ’ 14 as the Sergeant-at-Arms, who is in charge of logistics for the event. According to the White Book, the ac- cused student may have up to three honor advocates in the open hearing. The Executive Committee ofthe Student Body may also have three of its mem- bers acting as advocates for their side of the case. The hearing will be judged by a jury of members of the student body. Sev- enty-five students are initially chosen at random by the University Registrar, according to the White Book. These stu- dents will then be interviewed in order to ' determine that there are no conflicts of interest involving this specific hearing. Of the 14 jurors ultimately chosen for the hearing (two of them are alternates), four must be from the same school (un- dergraduate or law) as the accused and no more than four can be members ofthe same graduating class, according to the White Book. TIIE Pl{OCESS The accused student may choose to withdraw from the University at any point before the hearing, but the White Book requires‘ that the W&L community be informed of a potential Student Body Hearing seven days before the actual hearing.

By Christian Kennedy STAFF warren Students living in the current Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity House were required to move out. They may only use the house to eat meals and conduct chapter meetings. .}, NEIL HAGGERTY/ News Editor Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity was sus- pended until the end of this academic yean After the weekend at the end of formal rush week, the Office of Student Affairs was made aware of potential conduct vi- . olations made by Pi Kappa Alpha frater- . nity submitted by an anonymous source. There was a subsequent investigation that discovered multiple instances of high-risk behaviors, including drinking, , during that weekend. _ The current process is that a report is written by Student Affairs and sent to the lnterfraternity Council (IFC) to rule on. The IFC conducted a trial in which PiKA was found guilty of being involved in high-risk activities that went against the ' policies onnew member education set by the IFC andtheschool. ' g p The ruling by the IFC was to suspend PiKA as an active fraternity chapter until the end of the academic year. This ruling demanded that the current members ,liv- ' ing in the fraternity must move out of the house, as all Washington & Lee sopho- mores must live in University-owned housing. Both the fraternity in question and the school have the opportunity to appeal the I decision by the IFC, but neither decided to appeal as both parties agreed that it was a ‘fair ruling. . I In order to return to campus in thefall, , the fraternity must fulfill certain sanc- tions issued by both the school and‘-the PiKA nationals. The school asked the fraternity to institute a chapter wide’ standards board, to restructure their new pended for the year member education, to participate in a day of service and to finally publish a _ letter of apology in this newspaper. . Additional ‘sanctions imposed by the fratemityis nationals were to send mem- bers to national events and to form an alumni board to deal with fraternity is- sues. Current PiKA President Dan Dent ’13 explained that although the fraternity is disappointed in what took place, they are confident that they will be back in full force in the fall. . _ “We intend to take this as a learning ex- ' perience asopposed to being bitter about it,’-’ said Dent. He said he believeshis en- tire fraternity shares the same views on the subject. Dent explained that he beliejges fra- ternity was given a fair trial iind iiéport, and is happy with- the way they‘ have, been treated by the IFC and the school. Dent also said that the school has been very helpful with the transition out of the house; in providing housing in Woods Creek and Gaines for the members. ‘PiKA is also __alTowe'd to continue to have meals in the house, as well as chap- ter meetings. T Dean of Students Sidney Evans said she was impressed byithe cooper‘ and‘ respectfulness the jactiiiesiland of-_ ficers of; ‘PiKA Mdispliayed throughout the entire-‘process.

Washington and Lee Law garnered sig- nificant attention and respect in the legal blogging world two weeks ago when Indiana Law Professor Bill Henderson deemed the law school “the biggest edu- cation story of20l3.” . At the end of January, Henderson post- ed a comprehensive analysis of W&L Law’s school survey known as the Law School Survey of Student Engagement. _ According to Law Professor James Mo- litemo, the survey was created and con- ducted by Indiana University and com- pleted by every W&L Law student. According to wlu.edu, the LSSSE con- sists of a series of 100 questions on an array of topics. The questions focus on information such as student-faculty in- teraction, classroom environment, style and number of exams and the extent to which students feel prepared for the pro- fessional world. In his essay, Henderson said that the W&L LSSSE showed substantial in- creases both internally and externally — W&L saw major improvement when compared to its older school surveys, as well as other top law programs through- out the country. As a result ofthese findings, Henderson explained that for the first time, there ex- ists “empirical evidence that proves that W&L is delivering a significantly bet- ter education to its [third year law] stu- dents.” Henderson made such a distinc- tion to third year students because the structure of W&L’s law program during the third year is quite different from other law schools. According to Molitemo, the first two years of law school at W&L are similar tril m i Andreaioweni $T”A‘FE-VIIRITER , “ ’_-‘A committee of ‘ four W&L professors ,‘.is'°preparing a possible film'stu_dies mi- %nor, for which a student poll will be re- ftleaseii to ascertain interest. at A ‘ . “From many points of view, film is the . great‘,-‘art fonn .of?theJ20th century, and "e'.5are now in the 21st-century,” said nglish Professor Edward Adams, who the ‘very few eh-tei‘sma1l_colleges I ‘-;'tliat“tioés not have a_ film studies major program or minor program.” I I -15:. _ The ‘committee also consists of Andrea vep”ag’e;f‘rom theart history department, Kathi‘ynfChenoweth from romance lan- "l5jgx1a'g‘es,;‘and-Robeft .de Maria from jour- P alisrnand masscommunications. 7 ;_ 0 “We have beenjstudying what isthe i‘ \ est! and most feasible iijnodelforla film .',.§tudies minor atwashington and Lee,” 7,"¥s_aid?-Adams’.

Fairly tradi- tional still-lifes generally do not excite the modern viewer, let alone your aver- age college student. Beginning with the sultry wine reds and rich browns typi- cal of still lifes, the pieces’ alignment moves the viewer around the room to a fresher green sequence facing the dark paintings hanging on the opposite wall. Knives, bowls, books, fruit, insects and hydrangeas are among the repeated im- ages that, combined with a particular style, give the collection an easily rec- ognizable unity, if not vigor or energy. But art is never meant to be glanced at, and as the co|lection’s title “Emblem- atic Objects” so pointedly implies, the paintings’ significance lies in the depth of symbolism the chosen images allude to. If these objects, most being common subjects of still lifes, are emblematic, what are they symbolizing? There is a certain subtle strange- ness to some of Dawson’s paintings that may shed light on this question. Part of this comes from the way she plays with open book has an illustration ofa crow perched on a slim branch. With its beak open and body stretching towards the bowl, the bird appears to be leaning out of its page to‘ peck at the plums just out of reach. This peculiar placement con- fuses our conception of proper spatial dimensions and imbues the simple still life with a slightly surreal feel. Similarly, in another painting, berry branches stitched on a pillow seem to protrude out and morph into real branch- Spatial F€- es stretching lationships. ., over another The second bow] of painting, if, fruit.

This gives a certain life to the book and adds the element of relationship to the painting. Relationship in the sense that the inanimate object is shown to be in- teracting with another inanimate object. Perhaps this is emblematic of the con- nectedness of the assortment of objects in the paintings. The fieur-de-lis stitched on the nap- kin is a symbol of power and prestige. Books represent knowledge; the shiny knives and ripe fruits in silver bowls allude to wealth. Perhaps these objects juxtaposed with the wilder images, such as the birds or striped beetle crawling over the books or the lizard hint at a certain connection between such items loaded with human significance and oth- er natural, simple beings that share the same space. Students, professors, and community members came together at the annual Lunar New Year Cele- bration to usher in the year ofthe snake last Thursday in the Commons Living Room. Hosted by PAACE, SAIL, and the Department of East Asian Languag- es and Literatures, the evening featured a variety of songs and dances presented by different groups. From the third-year Chinese students,’ take on the popular “Gangnam Style” hit to the Nolza Crew’s lively K-pop performance, the event spanned across a wide range ofAsian cultures and languages. High- lights included a special brush-painting demonstra- tion, a spirited rendition of Mulan’s “l Will Make a Man Out of You,” and a student’s study abroad memories from Japan. The night ended with a feast of Chinese food, as the entire community gathered to reminisce, reflect, and rejoice on a successful eve- ning, and the many more that lay ahead in the days to come. ‘Happy Chinese New Year!

By Pat Mccarron STAFF WRITER Washington and Lee University’s As- sistant Golf Coach Jonathan Bowden, coaching in his first year at the colle- giate level, values his role as mentor. Before arriving in Lexington, Coach Bowden spent much of his time helping to develop young golfers in his home state of South Carolina. A couple of weekends each month, Coach Bowden coached young girls ages 7 to 16 for the . LPGA-USGA of Greenville. “It was a good opportunity to help the community and to coach and mentor. I wanted any experience I could do to get into coaching and I took a lot from the different positions [I’ve coached fro'm],” explained Coach Bowden. Bowden also coached for his high school alma mater in 2010. Through this experience, he learned the skills of coaching golf while also recognizing the commitment required. “It was neat getting to coach where I played high school golf. We had suc- z cessful teams and to coach under my old coachrl learned a lot. I took a lot from it. I looked back and appreciated the amount of time he played with us,” said Coach Bowden, about his experience. Last year, Bowden and his brother created Bowden Brothers Golf, a lo- cal company that helped junior golfers in South Carolina to contact college coaches, build their resumes and orga- _nize golfing schedules all in an effort to enhance each player’s game and fiiture . prospects. 3 But things changed. Bowden’s brother joined the PGA, and Coach Bowden took his current job as W&L’s Assistant Golf Coach. Coach Bowden hopes one day to restart the company. “lt’s something we wanted to do in the future, but there’s other opportuni- ties for now. It was a viable source of income and good for the community,” explained Coach Bowden. Now after years of mentoring young- er golfers, Coach Bowden is at W&L with a wealth of knowledge, both from a coach’s and a player’s standpoint. Coach Bowden teaches that short cuts are not the roots for good golf—espe- cially from a coach. “I’ve played with a lot of good play- ers, shot some good scores, and I try to apply those things in a way that I can show my players what the entire pack- age needs to be. Some coaches use ‘Band-Aids.’ I like to give my players an outline,” said Coach Bowden. Though now away from his home- town where he served his community by teaching golf, Coach Bowden has brought those same ideals to Lexington. “I ‘feel like I have a gift in terms of mentoring, coaching and teaching with- in the game of golf,” said Bowden. “I try to use the knowledge I have that oth- ers don’t, and I want to peruse [coach- ing] and see where it goes.” '.

W&L (1 1-12, 6-8) grabbed its first lead of the game at the 9:52 mark of the first half as first-year forward Andrew Franz (Char- lotte, N.C. / Ravenscroft) nailed a three- pointer to give the Generals a 20-19 lead. Randolph used an 8-0 run, featuring five points by Hunt, to push back out to a 27-20 lead at the 8:19 mark en route to posting a 34-30 lead at the break. I The Generals knotted the game at 41-41 with 13:49 remaining on a Franz layup, but the WildCats reclaimed the lead the next time down the fioor on a three-pointer by first-year guard Corey Brown and never trailed again. W&L remained within a single possession of tying the game until back-to-back jumpers by junior guard Mike Ehilegbu and Hunt gave RC a seven-point lead (57-50) with 5:54 to play. The Gener- als sliced it to a five-point gametwice in the final 2:54 but could get no closer as the WildCats improved to 19-4 overall and 10-4 in the ODAC. Washington and Lee shot 47.1 percent (24-51) from the floor and committed just ll turnovers in the contest. The Generals were led by Franz, who scored 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Sophomore guard Javon McDonald (Schaumburg, Ill. / Schaumburg) tallied 14 points, while soph- omore forward Patrick O’Connor (Rich- mond, Va. / Douglas Freeman) notched 12 points and grabbed five boards. Senior forward J.D. Ey (Charlotte, N.C. / Myers Park) chipped in six points, eight rebounds and a career-high 11 assists. Randolph also shot 24-of-51 (.471) from the fioor and also committed just ll tum-. overs. However, the WildCats knocked down 9-of-22 (.409) attempts from be- yond the arc. Hunt grabbed 13 rebounds to go with his 17 points, while Ehilegbu notched 16 points on'6-of-9 shooting, in- cluding 3-of-4 from distance. Brown and senior center Chris Battaglia both added 14 points.

By Hailey Hartley STAFF WRITER The Baltimore‘ Ravens are the NFL Champions. They played a relatively con- sistent season and then turned it on during the playoffs. They beat teams led by future Hall of Famers and some of today‘s most feared quarterbacks, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. They also beat two of the fu- ture star quarterbacks, Andrew Luck and Colin Kaepernick. But where does Joe Flacco play into the rankings of quarter- backs? This was the last year of Flacco’s contract and he needed to make a statement after four years of relative inconsistency and his claims of being an “elite" quarterback. ‘He did what he needed to do. and won the Su- per Bowl MVP trophy. But now Baltimore is faced with a whole new issue... how much is Flacco really worth? Not nearly as much as he claims to be. Following the Ravens Super Bowl win. Flacco’s agent Joe Linta said that because Flacco won the MVP, he deserves to be the highest paid quarterback in the NFL. And I‘m sorry but he is not even close to be- ing worth as much as Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. Flacco had an impressive post- season, there’s no denying that. but he was not the driving force behind the Ravens‘ win. His throws were otftarget, constantly being over and under thrown. I think the wide outs deserve a lot more credit than they are getting. Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin had some impressive catches dur- ing their Super Bowl win. Not to mention the fact that while not as impressive as they once were, the defense played a solid game. During a conversation about Flacco‘s worthiness with my mother she compared him to the Giants’ Phil Simms during the eighties. They are solid players. with fan- tastic receivers. and a great defense, but by no means the best in their league. While players like Brady and Manning have proved that the quarterback can drive their team to a Super Bowl win. this was deli- nitely not the case this season. Flacco deserves a nice contract from the Ravens, and General Manager Ozzie New- some is confident that they will be able to come to an agreement with Flacco and his agent. I believe that they will come to an agreement. and I believe that Flacco de- serves the contract ofa top ten quarterback. ljust hope that they don‘t give him money that he doesn't deserve. andolph OCR::/Vol_116/WLURG39_RTP_20130211/WLURG39_RTP_20130211_008.2.txt 8 0 THE RING-TUM PHI - M 0 N DAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2013 sports I ' \..¥5ll' in the numbers 5 The total number of overtimes in the men’s basketball game between No. 11 Louisville and No. 25 Notre Dame.
