W&L alumnus, professor defend ABC in investigative tactics ease BY AARON FOLDENAUER PHI STAFF WRITER Washington and Lee Professor of Religion Louis Hodges and Alum- nus William Jeffress (’67) played key roles in the lawsuit between Food Lion and ABC that attracted nationwide attention. Hodges served as an expert witness for ABC and Jeffress was the lead ABC attorney. The lawsuit concerned ABC’s un- dercover reporting tactics in a 1992 “PrimeTime Live” hidden- camera exposé that accused Food Lion of repackaging and selling old meat and chicken. Despite the efforts of W & L ’ s Hodges and Jeffress, last week Food Lion was awarded over $5.5 million in punitive dam- ages. “This is a major case. This is not lightweight stuff,” said Hodges who testified “A very long tradition, tried-and-true journalistic method of investigation is at stake here.” -- Louis Hodges for ABC on the history of under- cover reporting in the United States. “I’m afraid it might do some very serious damage, as a matter of fact.” Since September, Hodges worked with an ABC legal team reading depositions and research- ing scholarly and industry standards in the field of investigative jour- nalism. ' Hodges is the Director and Founder of W&L’s ethics program and routinely conducts journalism seminars in newsrooms across the country. The leader of the ABC team was Jeffress, former student body presi- dent of W&L and graduate of Yale Law School. He has been a trial law- yer since 1972, and his Washington D.C. law firm specializes in complex litigation. The ABC team picked Hodges to play a key role in the defense team after discovering a 1988 article of Hodges that reflected the position of ABC. In the article, which appeared in the “Journal of Mass Media Ethics,” Hodges lays out three conditions that must be met in order to justify undercover reporting: the issue must be of significant importance to the general public; there must not be a more reasonable, honest way of efficiently getting the nec- essary information; and the under- cover reporter must not masquer- ade in a role he cannot perform and must not threaten the safety of inno- Music department presents ‘Schubertiade’ program BY COURTNEY MILLER PHI STAFF WRITER Social fraternities, similar to the Greeks on Washington and Lee University's campus, were outlawed by the King of Hungary in the late 1700’s. The artists and musicians of that time did what any Greek boy would dotoday: they continued the party in someone else’s living room. The Washington and Lee music de- partment will be recreating this spirit Tuesday, Jan. 28 at 8 p.m. in the Johnson Theater. “Scnubertiade” will celebrate the life and works of Franz Schubert. “It will be short selections of music interspersed by anecdotes and history,” Scott Williamson, professor of music, said. In Schubert’s time the political and social climate forced social gatherings underground. Schubert invited play- wrights, poets, opera singers and musi- cians to perform in an informal setting. He often premiered his latest works for these audiences, said Williamson. After dinner the guests would dance and dis- cuss politics. Kirk Follio, a German professor, will be readingshort selectionsofSchubert’s poetry in German. Soprano Catherine Gaylard and Williamson, a tenor, will perform several of Schubert’s songs. “This is a great chance to learn about Schubert outside of a classroom set- ting,” Emily Framptom, music history major, said. Framptom will be talking about Schubert’spiano compositionsTuesday. The other music history majors will present short talks on several aspects of Schubert. » ‘‘It was Williamson’s idea to involve the majors in the Schubertiade,” Framptom said. “It’ll be interesting to see how everything works out.” Afterthe event, the International Club will host an Austrian-style reception which the public is invited to attend. ‘‘I hope this will become part of the interdisciplinary program,” Williamson said. “It’ll be a great experience for all those who attend.” cent people. “If all three conditions are met,” Hodges said, “then it is morally good for ajournalist to use deceptive means to gather information.” Hodges was on the stand for about three hours in all on two different days, ' Jan. 8th and 10th. 7 “I felt sort of isolated, but it was not at all trau- matic,” said Hodges. “I knew the sub- ject. And on the stand, you’ve got to be pretty pre- cise in what you say.” L i k e J e f f r e s s , Hodges is not without trial experience. Hodges re- cently testified against a Den- ver newspaper that wasbeingsued forlibel afterprint— ing an inaccurate story that supposedly damaged a local doctor’s reputation. As for the conclusion of the Food Lioncasethat has been active since 1992, Jeffress speculated that appeals courts will likely either overturn or reduce the damages awarded to Food Lion. In the meantime, the W&L alumnus is busy “catching up on everything else.” “The punitive damage award punishes journalists.” -- William Jeffress (’67) Verdict harms investigative journalism BY AARON FOLDENAUER PHI STAFF WRITER The recent judgment agai nst ABC’s use of hidden cameras endangers the future ofinvestigative reporting in the United States, said Louis Hodges, Washington and.Lee.Prof.essor of Re- ligion and ABC expert witness. The case is unusual because Food Lion sued over the network’s decep- tive techniques, not over the veracity of ABC’s award-winning report. The judge ruled Food Lion could not recover lost profits since the report was not proven false, but will receive $5.5 million in punitive damages. “The punitive damage award pun- ishes journalists, when the truti= of what was reported hasn’t been questioned,” ABC attorney William Jeffress(’67) said. Hodges agrees. “A very long-stand- ing,tried-and-truejournalistic method of investigation is at stake here,” he said. “Many of the most important stories in the history of American jour- nalism have been done undercover.” For example, Nellie Bly, in 1888, posed as an patient in an insane asylum that was mistreating patients. She uncovered corruption and, as a result of her work, the asylum was reformed. She was one of a group ofjournalists who effected much-needed social re- form by revealing scandals. President Theodore Roosevelt called journalists like Bly “muckrakers.” For decades, journalists have fol- lowed Bly’s tactics and provided a community service. According to Hodges, the verdict of the Food Lion and ABC case definitely harms the field of investigative reporting. ‘Acoustic Evening’: good music for a good cause BY ERICA PRossER PHI STAFF WRITER The “One Acoustic Evening” benefit concert will be held Saturday, Feb. 8, at Johnson Theatre.

Clinton’s second term does not face the dire circum- stances that Roosevelt faced, communism is dead, and the economy is running well, so From the Right Jason Zacher ’98 The Ring-tum Phi Editorial Editor what is Clinton to do this term? The things on Clinton’s agenda, to date, have been very vague, but he will probably outline some of them during his State of the Union address. What we should probably ask is what is on Hillary’s agenda, since without her, Clinton would be a hapless president, without any direction whatsoever. David Brock said that Clinton has placed whatever prin- ciples he has in a receivership maintained by his wife. Even his most ardent defender, James Carville, has asked other advisors where Clinton stands on issues. In a CNN/Time poll taken after the Novem- ber election, of the 49 percent of voters that cast their ballots for Clinton, only 14 percent agreewithhispositions. Unfortunately,Clinton sees his election as a mandate to enact his policies, not much unlike the Republicans in 1994. Clinton will get more than his chance by being the first president to have line-item veto powers. Which way will his policies go? Since he was governor of Arkansas, Clinton’s policies have seemed to steadily move right. However, this shift, which has become readily apparent in his first term as President, does not convince the Republicans, and has alienated many Democrats also. Some of Clinton’s promises in this recent campaign came at the behest of Democratic party leader- ship. Two other Presidents this century have alienated their parties, and both had disastrous second terms: Woodrow Wilson and Richard Nixon. When Wilson was reelected in 1916, he also only received 49 percent ofthe vote. His gradual adoption of the progressivism cham- “Clinton is set- ting himself up to set his place in history. That place may not be the glory he envisions. . pioned by Repubiican Theodore Roosevelt alienated him from his party leadership, and when he ran into trouble over the Versailles Treaty and the League of Nations, both parties abandoned him. Nixon was elected by voters that were grow- ing tired of Democratic bunglings in Vietnam. When Nixon’s domestic policies started to drift left, he fell victim to the same thing that claimed Wilson. When Watergate fell upon him, he had alienated both the Democrats and Republicans, and no one came to his aid. In response to this, take the case of Ronald Reagan. His Republican "Reagan Revolu- tion" led him and the Republicans to two landslide elections. Though he was disliked by the Democrats, his consistently conserva- tive policies had his party solidly behind him. When the Iran-Contra story broke, arguably a worse scandal than Watergate, others stood up to take the heat for him. Reagan left office in 1989 a popular president. This is not to say that Clinton’s second term is goingto be plagued by a major scandal, but after seeing his first term, I do not think it would surprise anybody. So what does he have on tap for his second term? We shall see during the State of the Union. He will prob- ably move a little fuilher right, and live all alone between the parties." Clinton tries to assert that he is not ideo- logical, which Historian Gary Wills says, “infuriates|iberals while not convincing con,- servatives.” Clinton is setting himself up to set his place in history. That place may not be the glory he envisions, but rather, the same place Wilson and Nixon hold. We remember them mostly for their failures. Clinton needs to understand that poli- cies will be passed, and people will get hurt. By trying to be everything to every- body, he becomes nothing to everybody. There is no initiative that everyone will like. And maybe,just maybe, for once in his political career he should not consult fifteen polls to decide his position on something. Then everybody, from Carville to Newt Gingrich will know what he stands for, and they can make a reasonable judgement about him.

We’ll call it Washington and Lee University (just for fun). W&L had the reputation of not being very politically correct and not really caring about it either. One day, however, the entire Board of Trustees was hit by lightening. A new Board had to be formed immediately. Afterarandom, care- less selection process, the new Board went to work quickly and set about many changes in a school that had not changed since the turn of the century. After a couple of weeks, the W&L community made a shocking discovery: the new Board of Trustees were all liberals. There were many disturbing far, far away from reality, there changes all over the Hill.

Then I got my own copy of the Blue Book and I read it. The Blue Book basically out- lines the structure of the SJC and the power that it has—power that is controlled by the Student Af- fairs Committee who in turn re- ports to the faculty. That is why the students need to know enough about the SJC to give the faculty feedback. In March they could pass this proposal and change the way misconduct cases are handled. Before this crusade started, the SCC was a little known group that dealt with reports of conduct vio- lation, with members appointed by the Executive Committee. This year’s members have heard more misconduct cases already than were heard last year. Many people have been put on Social Probation for the remainder of the year. What is Social Probation? As defined by the Blue Book it keeps a student from participating in any university or fraternity sponsored social function held on campus. Read: no Fancy Dress, no base- ment band parties, no Fridays! It is such a severe punishment, and one which is terribly hard to enforce. So as a student if I were on Social Probation and I showed up and my fraternity’s band party I would be in violation of a SJC sanction which would result in The Ring-tum Phi welcomes all letters to the editor!

I know that immediate suspen- sion doesn’t sound too threaten- ing, but imagine if it were the middle of Winter Term: I would have to go home and vacate my place of residence. Tuition money for the term and all the work ac- complished would be void. Then I could come back Spring Term. If the lightest suspension was ap- plied. If not it could be a long time before I could enroll again. Have I got your attention yet? I should because Social Probation was given to a student very re- cently for “acting improperly in a volatile situation.” In other words the guy got into a fight. A student forum was held in October to talk about the SJC and suspension “the -Blue- Book.-' Fewer than ten students attended. For you math geniuses out there that is less than one percent of our students. There are a lot of issues in the Blue Book that we need to under- stand. Go to the Web sight on the W&L homepage under studentac- tivities, look it up, read it, get to know it, so when people ask you your opinion on keeping the pro- ceeding confidential, much like the EC you can tell them what you think. There is even a convenient way to send your comments di- rectly to the SCC. lfthis does pass in March we as a student body will have to elect justices to the Council, as well as a secretary and a chair. We need to know as muchas we can before that election, so we elect people who will approach the power given to the SJC with the proper respect and understanding. Dean of Students, David L. Howison has promised than an- other forum will be held before the March faculty vote. He also said the forum will be well publi- cized. We need to show up at this forum, we as a student body need to know what is going on. This is not a small issue that won’t affect many people. This is huge. In an interview for The Tri- dent, SCC Senior Representative, Sasha Hartman intimated that the SJC could become as influential as the EC. I agree and I think that before we give them that power we as a student body need to let the faculty know what we think about it.

According to a recent article in Newsweek, twenty years ago two close friends made a bet over who ' was going to undertake a movie project. Steven Spielberg “won” and drew the high nurpber. The “Ioser,” George Lucas, drew the low.number .. and made “Star Wars.” ‘\ . The movie that no one wanted to make grossed $134 million in the United States alone by the end ofthe summer of 1977. The grand total for at the trilogy worldwide was $1.3 billion. 1 “Star Wars” was more than just a money-making success. True, it did gross more money than ever dreamed possible at the time. Its success with young people and the toy industry changed the face ofthe movie indus- try forever. But, above all, it was one of the things that defined our childhood. “I think it struck a creative bone in all of us as kids,” sophomore Doug Peddle said. “One of my most vivid childhood memories was playing with my brother for hours mixing and matching our GI Joe and Go Bot vehicles with our Star Wars figures.” Some of our generation looked up to the characters. “I wanted to be Princess Lea,” said junior Melody Andreola. ‘‘I used to braid my hair like hers all the time.” Everyone will get the chance to relive their childhood when “Star Wars” is re-released to the theaters Friday, January 31, nearly twenty years afterits first release. Lucasfilm spent $15 million restoring the mas- ter prints and adding 4.5 minutes of additional computer generated foot- age. ‘The official “Star Wars Special Edition” web site outlines some in- teresting changes in the movie: — Obi Wan’s house has been re- modeled. — There are more ambient sound effects throughout the film, adding to its realism. The web site alsolists somethings that could have been changed but were not: . — Luke still yells “Carrie!” after returning to Yavin. — Lucasfilm forgot to color in Va,der’s saber after he kills Obi‘-‘Wan. ; (.jT§jIey failed-to do this in the original as well.) “The Empire Strikes Back” returns to the big screen February 21. “The Return ofthe Jedi” follows on March 7.

In order to remedy the situation, Carabello has asked the directors of the station’s different musical genres to encourage their own dj’s to reserve airtime for more perti- nent information. “It is my hope that each of the directors would talk it over with their own dj’s,” Carabello com- mented. “We would like people to tell the time, the weather, and the last couple of songs.” In addition, the station’s morning shows now feature more local, na- tional, and sports news. Carabello empathizes with stu- dent dj’s who want to talk on the air. “I understand that they may be thinking, ‘Wow, cool, I’m on the air,”’ Carabello stated. Carabello adds that he also understands that student dj’s may want to entertain their friends by being humorous and verbose on the air. However, Carabello would like the dj’s to conduct themselves in a manner which contributes to the listeners’ enjoyment of the shows. Carabello concedes that the deci- sion of how much to talk on the air remains in the hands of the dj’s. Carabello would be unwilling to fire students who fail to comply with the suggestions of their managers. “You can’t do that, unless you’re paying people, which we’re not,” Carabello commented. “I can’t ask volunteers to conform to how I want the station to run,” Photo by Sam Levine WLUR plans to play more music during winter term. Crutches offer urliquei/iew of ball BY ANDREA EWING PH1 FEATURES EDITOR I hate crutches. I had the wonderful op- portunity to attend Washing- ton and Lee Law School’s Barrister’s Ball Friday night. The catch - I hobbled in on crutches. Most people eat dinner «with their dates before a function, so my friend Becca and I cooked dinner for ours early in the evening. Every- thing was just fine. Tip: If possible, avoid any activity you would not gen- erally particiapte in before attending a formal function. I, of course, did not fol- low my own advice. I went to perform with the Rebelles at halftime of the basketball game, where I gracefully dis- located my left knee in a freak accident. ( I swear someone greased the floor!) I left my date, Josh, at 7:30 walking like any nor- mal human, and the next time he saw me my accessories included not only matching . earrings and necklace but a new pair of very fashionable Calvin Klein crutches (bought especially to go with the dress). We drove to Moody Hall for two reasons: 1) it was already the plan and 2) there was no way in hell I was going to walk. I managed to conquerthe steps and arrived in the main lobby. (Inciden- tally, wet stone stairs and crutches do not mix.) Matt, Becca’s date, took my coat to the coat room and returned with a wheel chair. 1 He and Kendra, another member of our party, tried to be helpful. “We’ll wheel you around,” they said. I had tried to be as unobtrusive as possible when I came in, and now a wheel chair was pre- sented to me. Politely refusing, I said I wanted to be able to get around on my own. I had a feeling members of my en- tourage might be drinking, and being wheeled by people who had one too many screw- drivers did not seem in my best interest. The band, Liquid Plea- sure, was great and everyone seemed to be having a really good time. I even made a major dis- covery— standing in one A " "».'2.I_'...ZI.4..._.§.T .‘..L.I'.'.I . . t.. .1" place with all my weight on my right leg and swaying in time to the music looks a little like dancing. Actually, it looks a lot like W&L stu- dents dancing. I am sure Josh appreciated the effort. Two open bars allowed for those accompanying me to par- take. lwas mighty tempted, but then I thought, not only am I wearing heels but I am also on crutches. Alcohol would just be stupid. While considering this, I sipped a rum and coke. I became well known as I hobbled from location to loca- tion. “There goes Crutchy,” I overheard one party goer say. I also received many compli- ments on my determination to have a good time. Another tip: You get loads ofsympathy ifyou are injured. 3...".-L.'...'."'... {;.T._'3.‘ ;I...'. .Z’.. ;.'.."'_,..'. . .. . .' Milk it for all it’s worth. The time arrived for us to leave, but before we could do so a rather inebriated young lady asked if her boy- friend could borrow my wheelchair. I assume she had seen it offered to me when I arrived. Naturally, I told her he could have a grand ole time with it. The evening was not only interesting, but also offered many challenges. I became adept at dancing on one leg, maneuvering on wet stairs, and being generally sociable while looking like a gimp. I can only offer one conclu- sion after this experience: Crutches suck, but if you must have them, use them to your advantage (i.e. look pitiful and people will wait on you hand and foot). “The Relic”: good, old- fashioned monster-y ‘un xhfi /2 of 4 stars; entertaining schlock The pitch: “lt’lI be like ‘Jurassic Park’ in ‘The Fly.”’ BY ALEX CHRISTENSEN PHI MovIE CRITIC Peter Hyams isn’t a very good director. He’ll probably always be known for turning “20l0: The Year We Make Contact,” the sequel to the admittedly overblown, yet wildly provocative science fiction landmark “200l: A Space Odyssey” from Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, into what looked like a poor made-for-television melodrama. Then he did a stint as the foremost interpreter of that hauntingly mysterious Belgian, Jean-Claude Van Damme. Hey, Capra had his Jimmy Stewart, Fellini had his Mastroianni, Hyams had his Van Damme. Well, Van Damme’s moved on to the Hong Kong action émigrés, and Hyams has apparently moved on to big-budget monster movies, with not altogether uninspiring results. I can’t go so far as to say that “The Relic” is the new “Jaws” or anything like that, but if you’re in the mood for a monster movie, it should certainly fit that bill rather satisfy- ingly. The story, which doesn’t matter much, is that this Indiana Jones-type researcher in South America stumbles upon a tribe which worships a sort ofa demon god. He sends back an idol, or “relic,” along with some funny leaves which have less than salutary effects when they come in contact with living creatures, more of which later. For some reason, he decides that he shouldn’t really send them then, so since he can’t get them off the boat, which is already leaving, he instead stows away on board for the ride back to Chicago. Meanwhile, back in Chicago, shapely science girl Margo Green (Penelope Ann Miller) gets the shipment, which, oddly, was finally delivered by a boat ALL OF THE OCCUPANTS OF WHICH HAD BEEN DECAPITATED AND DEPRIVED OF THEIR HYPOTHALAMUSES! Okay, okay, some of y’all out there don’t like spoilers, but that’s really not a spoiler. The point ofthe movie is to see the gore and the big monster, known as the Kothoga. So it probably won’t matter also ifl tell you that the monster is the ~ scientist morphed into a monster by the funny leaves. I figured it out the minute he got on the boat, and that happens during the opening credits. Digital monsters have a shady track record, but this one performs rather well, largely because Hyams doesn’t show it too early or too much, and photographs it mostly in darkness. This is the only competent directorial decision he has made. The dialogue in this movie isjust awful. And to hearthem coming out of the mouths of usually competent actors like Miller, Tom Sizemore, Linda Hunt and James Whitmore is alternately hilarious and depressing. The plot is thin and implausible, and when “Dr.” Margo Green finally figures out that the researcher guy who sent the stuff home is the monster and is surprised, you’ll want to slap her upside the screen. Nevertheless, I have to say that the monster is worth it. If you like to see people getting eaten, their heads ripped off and hypothalamuses sucked, this movie is a must. Sure, it’s cheesy, stupid, poorly plotted and thought out, and even annoying to watch with all of the flashlights Hyams insists on pointing directly at the camera blinding you constantly, but in the end, it’s a good chuckle and a half. Photo courtesy of Paramount Pictures These flashlights will be enough to protect us: “The Relic” offers good slasher fun for horror fans and Kothoga alike.
