W&L’s theater department opens its fall season Friday ** of 4 stars; at 9 p.m. in the Johnson Theater with The Importance of jumbled 1 Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde. With its contrived plot and “happily ever after ending,” the play creates a hysterical farce of Victorian society. Wilde turns the stage into a circus of dialogue, where what is said one minute is immediately contradicted the next. it “Welive in an age of ideals,” one character says in the first act. Yet the ideals of these characters are just plain wacky: the young women will only love a man if his name is Ernest; the mother is delighted that her daughter’s suitor is ignorant; and a girl’s fictional diary accounts are treated as reality, simply because they are written down. “There’s some really snappy little bits of dialogue that still make me laugh every time I see it, even though l’ve o been watching it every night for a week,” said lighting designer Ethan Krupp. Director A] Gordon chose the play with the help of senior theater major Dan Tipton, who is completing he thesis by playing the part of Jack Worthing. “It is a good play for student actors,” said Gordon. “It is genuinely funny and different from playing straight, The pitch: “It'll be like Jaws in da lungle.” ‘Alex Christensen Phi Movie Critic Val Kilmer is an excellent actor. Michael Douglas is not. So right away, you know that a movie pairing the two is going to be a bit uneven. The Ghost and the Darkness is based on a true story about two lions who killed 130 people over a nine-month period in 1898 whilebeingpursued by abridge engineer, John Patterson (Val Kilmer) and a professional hunter, Remington (Michael Douglas). Patterson has been assigned to build the bridge in Tsavo, east Africa, and so killing the lions and getting on with the work is his passion. Douglas is motivated by the thrill of the hunt. .

Senior James Silberstein picked up seven points for the Generals and se- nior Pete Sorensen added six. Merchant Marine was next on the Generals’ hit list. W&L showed no mercy in the Satur- day afternoon game as it wal- loped Merchant Marine, 25-9. Sorensen notched five more points for the Generals in that contest. . The day ended with the Roch- ester Institute of Technology squadjumpinginto the pool with W&L. RIT probably wished it could have climbed back out as it succumbed to the charged-up Generals, 16-10. Silberstein tal- lied seven points for W&L. The Generals needed only one more win to cap a perfect weekend and grab the tourna- ment championship, but they had to settle for second-best as Johns Hopkins edged them out, 13-10, in the tourney final Sunday. Still, the Generals had little to apolo- gize about after their strong sea- son-ending showing. “I was extremely impressed by this team’s leadership,” Remillard said. He cited the impressive play of his three se- nior stars, Sorensen, Silberstein, and Nathan Hottle, as well as freshmen Aaron Love and goalie Ryan Noble. Sorensen earned first—team all-tournament hon- ors last weekend, Hottle earned second-team honors, and Silberstein, Love, and Noble re- ceived honorable mentions. Prior to the Division III tour- nament, the Generals dropped consecutive games to archrival Richmond, losing 9-7 in Twombly Pool Wednesday, and falling 11-5 at Richmond Thurs- day. In Wednesday’s game, Rich- mond opened up a3-1 lead in the first quarter and stretched the advantage to 7-3 early in the second quarter. Just when it appeared Rich- mond was on the verge of break- ing things wide open, Sorensen and Silberstein brought the crowd and the Generals back into the game as they each scored a goal to slice the deficit to 7-5 at halftime. Richmond reinstated its four- point lead by notching a two- point goal in the third quarter. But the combo of Sorensen and Silberstein struck again early in the fourth, as each scored an- other goal to make it 9-7. But that was as close as W&L would come as UR held onto that same margin. Silberstein led the team with four goals and two assists and Sorensen had two goals and one assist. Hottle added the team’s other goal. . The Generals could not come quite as close to Richmond the next night on the road. W&L hung tough, but dropped an 11- 5 decision. The water polo team will graduate only three players this year. Unfortunately, it is their top three in Sorensen, Silberstein, and Hottle, so the Generals will need to retool with young talent next season. “We need to bring in a lot of freshmen,” Remillard said. “We need to bring in strong swim- mers and we need guys who can play the field.” Despite the loss of his top three contributors, Remillard said he was confident about the future of W&L water polo. “We have a very positive at- titude,” he said. “We’re reload- ing.” Photo by Julien Williams The “Richmond trio” of senior Peyton Williams (90), junior Jack Boyd (91) and senior McGuire Boyd (17) watch the action at a recent W&L football game.

The Generals got some extra inspiration at halftime when Wilkinson became the first re- cipient of the Gary R. Fallon Memorial Scholarship. The se- niors from last year’s team cre- ated the award in memory of Coach Fallon, who died sud- denly in April 1995. Patti Fallon, Coach Fallon’s widow, pre- sented Wilkinson with the award during the halftime ceremony. “It is a great honor,” Wilkinson said.

The women, not to be outdone by their male counterparts, took 12th place in the 25-team field. Carson Flowers and Natasha Dorofeeva provided a powerful 1-2 punch for the Generals.

Soccer teams compete for top seeds in ODACs BY KRis MATHIS PHI STAFF WRITER As the men’s and women’s soccer teams enter their final weeks of the season, both teams are vying for top seeds in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference tournament. Though both teams have posted strong regular sea- son records, late season slumps have proved costly and could prevent each team from receiving NCAA tournament bids in mid-November. The Washington and Lee men’s soc- cer team bounced back from two tough defeats to crush Bridgewater Wednes- day. The Generals scored a season-high six goals en route to a 6-0 victory. The offensive attackwasled by Jamie Parker and Sam Chase with two goals each. Gordon Meeker and Andy Daters rounded out the scoring by contributing one goal apiece. Garry Hill had another outstanding defensive performance at oalie. g The Generals’ six-goal performance leaves them just one goal shy of the W&L record for most goals scored in one season. The men’s team hopes to break the record when they host Randolph-Macon this Saturday. After starting the season with a 7-1 record, which included a stunning victory over crosstown rival VMI, the men’s soccer team entered the toughest stretch of their ‘96 schedule by suffering a disappointing setback to ODAC rival Hampden- Sydney. This past week, the competition got even tougher as the Generals faced the ominous task of traveling to Atlanta to take on #10-ranked Emory University. Despite being heavy un- derdogs, W&Lbattled tough throughout. The Generals fought to knot the game at two goals apiece at the end of regulation before being stunned shortly into overtime by Emory’s game- winning goal, 3-2. The Generals bounced back two days later with a 2-1 victory over the University of the South in Sewanee to end their trip. Meanwhile, the women’s soccer team has been busy as well. But they too find themselves in a late season slump. The Generals have dropped four out of their last six games with the latest defeat coming at the hands of Notre Dame (MD), 3-0. This slump comes after the Generals started the season with an unprecedented 7-0 run. The women’s soccer team hoped to turn things around with a 1-0 victory over Lynchburg last Wednesday. Karin Treese scored the only goal needed for the Generals as they recorded their sixth shutout of the year. ‘_‘We’ve had a different attitude in practice this week, and we are looking forward to kicking butt in our last two games,” Treese said. The Generals started the season as unanimous favorites for the ODAC title and they lived up to these high expectations on their way to a perfect 7-0 record. The women’s soccer team now looks ahead to tune-up games against Feirum on October 24 and Shenandoah on the 26th as they prepare for the ODAC tournament October 30 through ‘November 3. The men will begin the ODAC tournament with the quarterfinals on November 5. “Both teams are optimistic about their chances in the ODACS,” Parker said. “We have a very good chance of doing well in the ODAC tournament.” Both teams are looking forward to strong performances in the ODACs and berths in the NCAA tournament as the W&L soccer tradition continues to grow.
