For gradu ating seniors the world is filled with amazing opportunities and scary realities. At this time last year, 56 percent of the 1996 graduating class were ei- ther employed or accepted to gradu- ate or professional schools. Six months after graduation that number rose to 97.3 percent. “The job market is actively seeking qualified college gradu- ates at this time,” Amy Hitlin of Career Development and Place- ment said. Although Career Development has not finished compiling data collected for the class of 97, they expect the employment numbers to be similar to those for the class of ’96. g‘ “The trends have stayed the same for the past few years,” Hitlin said.

Seniors Jason Shaffer and Elizabeth Fritze will both at- tend Yale in the fall. Shaffer will be pursuing his Ph.D. in British literature, and Fritze will be working towards her law degree. “I still can’t believe they took me,” Shaffer said. When asked if there was any chance ofromantic involvement between the two soon—to—be W&L alums, Fritze fervently denied any possibility.

Law school graduates also “face an employment market considerably less robust than that ofthe ’80s,” ac- cording to the U.S. News & World Report website.

WALKER PHI STAFF WRITER There is no need to spend money furiously in the Co—op anymore. After weeks of confusion and various proposals, the University has reached a decision about what will happen to the balance that re- mains on students food debit ac- counts. According to John Cuny, Washington and Lee’s Associate Treasurer and Controller of the Business Office, any remaining money will be transferred out ofthe food debit account at the end of the year and applied to the general debit account. A refund check will then be sent out for the balance. By refunding the money, W&L is violating Virginia law prohibiting re- turning any money placed in such an account. Technically, the money is in a board plan account and thus not sub- ject to the 8.5% state tax on food. Originally, this was designed to give the students a break, allowing them to make food purchases with- out having to pay the tax. In fact, the contract students signed stated that, “you also save 8.5% tax by partici- pating In one ofthese programs.” The problem arises from the fact that funds in such a tax-free account are not legally transferable to stu- dents. If the W&L goes ahead with the plan to give back the money, it faces severe fines from the state. The controversy over the account arose when students began receiving letters at the beginning of April indi- cating that they had money left on their card, in some cases hundreds of dollars and that it must be used by the end of May. Ifthey did not spend the money, it would become property of the university. To most students en- rolled in the meal plan this news came as a surprise. “There was a small printing of in- formation describing what would happen to the money, but it wasn’t publicized very well,” Cuny said. In fact, the contract which students signed at the beginning of the year made no reference to the refund policy. The only mention came in a brochure sent along with the contract, which some students claim to have never seen. “I think most students just as- sumed that they would be getting a refund or the money would be trans- ferred to another of their accounts,” Cuny said. Several students pro- tested, saying it was unfair and deceptive for the university not to refund the money. While the illegality of the refund is certain, the administration insists that the refund is the correct and moral thing to do. “Our decision was based on the lack of communication,” Cuny said. “We realize that most students were unaware ofthe policy and would ap- preciate getting their money back. Wejust want to do what is right and best for the students.” For some students, however, the announcement comes too late. Several students have gone to ex- treme measures to use up the re- maining money on their cards be- lieving that otherwise the money would go to waste. Sophomore Becca Harris was un- aware that her parents had put sev- eral hundred dollars on her card. “I bought three cases of Snapple, 16 subs for a picnic, and I came home everyday with enough M&M’s to fill a big bowl.” Harris became somewhat of a PLEASE SEE CARDS PAGE 2 W&L moves towards greater social diversity on campus BY ANNA PARIS PHI STAFF WRITER get along, we are going to have to respect one another.” “Ifwe can reach all aspects of campus, that will start a domino effect,” Kanner said. ‘ X I ouldn’t it be nice to live in a place where ev eryone got along regardless of their differences? A new student organization, Programming for the Respect of Individuals and Diversity in Education, hopes to address the issue of racial, ethnic, religious, gen- der and lifestyle diversity at Washington and Lee. “In the fall, we started planning for a group to address the issue of improving the W&L community through diver- sity,” Dean Anece McCloud said. Three students were chosen to lay the groundwork for the group. Twelve other students were selected to become a part of the central committee of P.R.I.D.E. based on their leadership abilities and their commit- ment to a wide variety of organizations on campus. The group includes athletes, Greeks, independents and in- ternational students. “Each group member is enthusiastic about mak- ing W&L more diverse,” P.R.I.D.E. member Will- iam Kanner said. The mission of P.R.I.D.E. closely follows Robert E. Lee’s call for “gentlemanly conduct.” “Everyone brings a type of diversity to this campus,” McCloud said. “It is important that we listen to each other with open minds. In order to have a community where we P.R.I.D.E. hopes to sponsor a Diversity Festival in the coming year. “Various student organizations will be repre- sented,” McCloud said. “They’ll each do something to display American diversity and culture.” P.R.I.D.E. members will target Greek organiza- tions, the Minority Student Association, the Execu- tive Committee and other campus groups. McCloud envisions a variety of speeches, cos- tumes and dances representing different lifestyles and cultures. “We don’t want to exclude anyone. P.R.I.D.E. is an inclusive organization,” McCloud said. P.R.I.D.E. plans to host additional events in the future. “Our objective this year was to get the orga- nization in place,” McCloud said. “We’d like to encourage activities to get people to know each other more,” Kanner said. “P.R.I.D.E. is an ongoing project,” McCloud em- phasizes. “Those who are members at this point in time are expected to be lifetime members. Our alumni group will keep everyone at W&L abreast ofwhat goes on in the real world, and hopefully, they will take some ofthe things that they have learned out to society.” BY KATHRYN MAYURNIK PHI NEws EDITOR Finding a cure for the graduation blues...

The child is Caleb Russell Lambert, the five-year-old son of Dr. Ken- neth Lambert of the computer science department and Dr. Demaree Peck, formerly of the English department. Caleb’s photo accompanies ajob advertisement for“reliable, enthusiastic” students willing to earn money or possibly course credit. The position is one that would help Caleb have a “brighter future,” for Caleb has autism. “He was almost two years old before we noticed the symptoms,” Dr. Lambert. Lambert said that Caleb walked on tip-toe and spun Tupperware lids, flapping his arms. Caleb’s parents had no idea that the toddler was autistic. “He was in a playgroup,” Lambert explained, a group ofboys his own age. Gradually, the other boys left Caleb behind. He didn’t talk, and he played “inappropriately,” spinning objects and withdrawing. But even the family physician did not notice a problem in Caleb’s behavior, and it was Caleb’s grandmother who impressed upon Lambert and Peck the need for testing. They took their son to the Kluge Center in Charlottesville, where he was diagnosed with perva- sive developmental delay (PDD) with characteristics and features of autism. He was behind his peers Computer graphic by Tom Wadlow E I in expressive and receptive language and fine motor skills. Upon diagnosis in October 1993, his language level was that ofa nine-moiith-old infant. His fine motor skill level was at about 12 months, but his gross motor skills were normal for his age: he couldjump, run, and climb like any two—year-old. “It was depressing news,” Lambert said ofthe diagnosis. The doctor on hand gave Caleb’s parents no hope and of- fered no helpful programs. There are few programs in this area, Lambert said, since the population is small, and what programs existed at the time did not serve the needs ofthe autistic. So Dr. Peck took Caleb and their second child, Catherine, to Rochester, NY, for treatment. Lambert stayed in Lexington to teach and search for possible programs in the area, perhaps in cities with larger populations. Charlottesville and Roanoke were the only possibilities. Finally, in the spring of 1994, Lambert found a program in Roanoke, sold his Lexington house and moved to Roanoke where Peck and the children joined him. He has commuted from Roanoke to Lexington during the school year ever since, but that is about to change. Expressing homesickness for this area, Lambert said that he and his family will be moving back to Lexington on May 29. “The school in Roanoke isn’t enough,” Lambert mentioned. “(Caleb) needs attention around the clock.” Lambert amended that Caleb does sleep at night, but while he is awake and at home, he needs constant one-on-one care to initiate appropriate behavior. He plays well with supervision, but without it, he can regress. The weekends are especially important. Since his diagnosis, Caleb has come a long way in fine motor skills, but he still does not talk, and his receptive language skills are gaining very slowly. Like most autistics, Caleb has excellent spatial think- ing ability. He can recognize hundreds of written words through making associations with pictures, and even at the age of two, he could find his way through a park even after one visit. However, Caleb cannot use words in a fiinctional context, and he may never grasp figurative meanings, a problem that distresses his literary mother. n many ways, Caleb is an ordinary five-year-old: he is ex- tremely loving and affectionate, and he expresses himself ‘N4 i/i\i/ x; «t 1 Ht\(/I. \. “ . ll. 7!

To encourage his progress, Caleb’s par- ents have advertised for students to give him the attention he needs when they return to Lexington. In Roanoke, such student help was a common occurrence. Lambert recollected a Virginia Tech student who com- muted from Blacksburg to Roanoke twice each week for two years to work with Caleb. Students from Hollins and Roanoke College worked, as well, some for psychology credit arranged with the schools. \ Because Lambert is usually commuting and Peck can- not do everything herself, the student workers must be spe- cial people. A good personality is a must, and a willing- ness to be tactile and enthusiastic is necessary. Lambert said, “It takes a certain kind of person,” and one can learn to be that kind of person with practice. Workers are trained through workshops and viewing Caleb’s records, including videotapes of his behaviors and workbooks of his progress. Workers then learn how to help Caleb through discrete trial therapy and drill therapy. Lambert said that he and his wife were able to teach students how to do this after they themselves learned. The signs all over campus advertise for student workers that can interact with Caleb once the family retums to Lexington. Lambert and Peck are currently trying to work out an arrange- ment with the psychology department that could offer course credit to interested students. For now, a student helper can work 6-12 hours per week and make six dollars per hour working with Caleb. Lambert mentioned that some students in the past have made “pretty good money” this way. This position is also an opportu- nity to learn about autism firsthand. Interested students need not ......... . .

Professor Domnica Radulescu’s French Theater class will be performing “Le Roi se meurt” by Eugene lonesco and “En attendant Godot” by Samuel Beckett this week in Lenfest’s Johnson Theater. Both plays were written during the French avant— garde period, also called the theater of the absurd. “The plays are similar in that they both pose the philosophi- cal question of waiting for the end,” said Radulescu, the creator and director. The class has been preparing for the production all Spring Term. They began by studying the period and the playwrights, then they learned about the elements of production. Now they are frantically trying to re- member their foreign lines as they rehearse in cos- tumes that they create themselves. “We gathered all the props and designed our own costumes,” said freshman Hillary Everist. ‘‘It’s been really fun.” The plays altemate scenes, and the students, most of whom have never acted before, switch roles for each scene. - “It’s wonderful because all the parts are so varied," said sophomore Becca Harris. “It’s good for the creativejuices.“ The students will perform “Le Roi se meurt” and “En atten- dant Godot” in the Johnson Theater May 28, 29 and 30 at 8 p.ni.

Whether it is with the "walk of fame" and "walk of shame" concept or the pun- ishments levied upon students at the two Lexington colleges, the double standard is all around us. The two VMI cadets caught April 30 steal- ing the blue and white flags W&L displays on big weekends received a far too lenient pun- ishment. When a W&L student was caught a couple of years ago in the VMI barracks, she was arrested and charged by the Lex- ington Police Department with tresspassing. We feel that vandalism and theft are a far more serious crimes than tresspassing, and the VMI cadets should have been arrested and thrown in jail. “If we catch them again, we'll put them in jail,” said Director of Security Mike Young. They should have been put injail the first time. Since these three were seniors, there will not be a next time. The other possible punishment for the three was the loss of their military com- missions. The cadets were caught in an act of theft and vandalism, and they should not be U.S. military officers. A similar act at Annapolis, the Air Force Academy or West Point would have incurred far more serious punishments. So much for the discipline VMI loves to promote. Whether the act was a prank or not, it was still a crime which should have been punished more severely than painting a couple of curbs. F W&L has no qualms about expelling se- niors who commit honor violations; what is so different about VMI? Who can forget the open trial two years ago? That had a profound effect on Jarrod Aldom's life. We hope that Mr. Young will punish cadets who commit crimes on this campus more se- verely in the future.

Ted Kennedy, D-Mass, almost suc- ceeded in killing a Washington miracle: a From the Right Jason Zaeher ’98 Phi Executive Editor bipartisan balanced budget agreement. At 3 a.m. Wednesday, it passed the House 333- 99, and it passed the Senate fairly easily on Friday. The bill now goes to committee to iron out the differences between the two plans. As is always the case with Washington politics, two parties are trying to achieve the same end but want to use radically different means. In a case of divine intervention, President Clinton and Congress agreed on a plan;when Gephardttriedtoblockit, Clinton supported the bipartisan plan and killed Gephardt’s plan. Gephardt worried that the plan hurt people. Hewentontosay that deficitswould spiral after the five years which the agree- ment covers because the agreement only balanced the budgeton paper. He had no real facts, but called it the “budget of many deficits,” including “a deficit of principle.” He probably voted against the agreement to boost his national reputation so he can chal- lenge Al Gore for the presidency in 2000. Kennedy proposed a $20 billion cigarette tax to help provide health coverage to poor children. He knew that such an amendment would kill the balanced budget plan. The plan would raisethecigarettetax by 43 cents a pack and the funding would go to a new program. Although this program is billed as "vo1untary” by its promoters, it is a man- datory program in which states must par- ticipate in order to receive money. The program also includes several other man- dates which would have cost states even more money. There is an insurance coverage gap. Pri- vate companies cover 63 percent of the nation’s 71 million children. 23 percent are covered by Medicaid, 1 percent are listed as “other” and 14 percent are uninsured. The current budget plan already has $16 billion set aside to close the insurance coverage gap for children. There is nothing wrong with a tobacco tax. but this problem doesn’t need to be solved by levying more taxes. Instead of levying more taxes to cover health care, the Republicans have some ideas on how to help defray the costs of healthcare for children. The first is allowing children’s health care to be tax-deductible. A second is idea is allowing parents to set up tax-free medical savings accounts. A few years ago, the Democrats had no trouble “hurting” military families and 1 defense contractors’ families by closing military bases all over the country and slashing the size ofthe military. Nobody wants children to suffer.

I have written so many of those since I’ve been here that I could write a five page paper in Spanish about my belly button. The extreme value of quarters.

This is notassimpleastakingoutan adinthepersonals: “Soul, rarely used, like new, $45,000 or best offer.” In this complex religious and philo- sophical transaction, the most important thing is getting the best price for your soul. The Looney Bin Kevin McManemin ’00 The biggest blunder which most novices make is selling their soul to Satan—BIG mis- take. He didn’t become the Prince of Darkness by dealing fairly with others. The Devil is simply the first guy to make an offer. He gets his customers because his major competitor in the soul business, Jesus, has never been known to offer people worldly possessions for their eter- nal spirits. This lackluster competition has given Marilyn Manson, I mean, Satan, avirtual monopoly on the Christian soul market, the largest in the world. Shop around. There are plenty of other deities who would love to have your soul. Consider Osiris, the Egyptian god of the dead. This guy is desperate for a few new souls in his underworld. While Satan will spend only a few million bucksfortopofthelinesouls,Osiriswi1l pay dearly for whatever karmic refuse comes his way. Think about it: child molesters, to- baceolobbyistsandCBS networkexecutives— all these wretched people could get pyramids full of gold. Ahura Mazda, “Wise Lord” of the Zoroas- trians, is another good god for the savvy soul- seller. “You’d think that for one of the oldest religions in the world we would have more than a couple of Persians to show for it,” Ahura Mazda thus spake. “It’s not helping things that the colonnode club by hollister hovey “Buy the fountain drink machine in the Co-op.

Here is what you can expect for your little bit 0’ Brahma: a Ferrari costs reincarnation as a hedgehog, but $10,000,000 will cost you reincarnation as Martin Short. Don’t offer your soul to Odin, though.

MAY 26, 1997 THE LOST WORLD’: BETTER THAN ‘JURASSIC PARK’ at * * of 4; thoroughly entertaining The pitch: “It'll be like ‘Jurassic Park’ with more dinosaurs and less annoying jerky people.” iw ALEX CllRlS'l‘I~1NSl€N PHI IVIOVIIE CRITIC “Jurassic Park” was not what I’d call a “good movie.” In fact, it’s not really what I’d call a “passable movie.” It just downright sucked. If it hadn’t had so many cool dino- saurs, I would have walked out. The charac- ters were annoying whiners and I wanted them dead. They took way too much screen time away from the dinos. In fact, nearly every time there would be a good dinosaur shot, they would immediately cut away to the moronic gaping face of some Hollywood actor. Spare me. Plus, all the characters who lived to the end were either insane or really stupid. What kind of identification can you make with such losers? “The Lost World: Jurassic Park” seems to have realized the mistakes made in the first film. Better than that, the dino-producing technol- ogy has blossomed thanks to great leaps for- ward in CG tech- nology. Now we can have all dino- saurs all the time. That’s all I ever asked for. I’m not going to try to sell you a bill of goods and say that this movie isn’t cheesy. The plot is thin and contrived, though not distractingly so. The one-liners are enter- taining, surpassing most other action mov- ies one-liners by leaps and bounds. In fact, you may never listen to a one-liner the same way again. But they are one-liners, the typical action-inovie substitute for dialogue. Oh well. Even the plot setup is cheesy. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) is summoned to a meeting with John Hammond (Richard Attenborougli), the cre- ator of the Jurassic Park of the first movie. He wants to recruit Malcolm to go to “Site B,” the breeding center for Jurassic Park, which is on another island next door to the one in the first movie. A distressing interjection here: these is- lands are part of a FIVE-ISLAND CHAIN which is referred to as “Las Cinco Muertas: The Five Deaths”! I don’t mention this to frighten you with a premonition of death, but of more sequels! I can see it now. “Dinofinger: The Lost World 2: Jurassic Park 3”: “Oh, sorry, Ian, didn‘t I tell you about Site C‘? That’s where we keep the pterodactyls that know sign lan- guage.” “Thunder Lizard: The Lost World 3: Jurassic Park 4”: “Oh, didn’t I mention Site D? That’s where we keep the mean ones!” And so on... Really, this one is fine, but I can only fore- see a degeneration ifthe sequels keep coming. I appeal to the gods who punish greed to send a telegram to Spielberg c/o Universal.) So anyway, Malcolm, understandably, doesn’t want to go. He was ridiculed as a nut for trying to expose Jurassic Park for what it was, and, of course, he was chased by dinosaurs and nearly killed. You can see why he wouldn’t want to repeat that experience. But Hammond, evil genius that he is, has thought ahead. He already recruited Malcolm’s girlfriend, shapely science girl Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore). Now Malcolm has his motivation: to rescue her. The best thing about the movie is Jeff Goldblum. I absolutely hated him in “Jurassic Park.” He was this condescending, lazy whiner who didn’t seem to care if he was eaten. He sat around in his leatherjacket and sunglasses and said ironic things while dinosaurs hunted him. I ' couldn’t take his blasé attitude. Hejust didn’t seem to care. But in this film, the audience isn’t asked to take it seriously, so his one-liners are funny. His attitude has also been altered because of the presence ofhis girlfriend and his daughter Kelly (Vanessa Lee Chester). You feel his strain when they are in danger, and you like him a lot better. Vanessa Lee Chester’s character also does an amazing feat straight out ofthat old Mr. T cartoon where they beat up villains with their amazing gymno-skills. I loved that show, and I appreciate the nod to all ofus fans who have missed it for so long. Also notable in the cast are Pete Postlethwaite as The Great White Hunter (not silly) and Arliss Howard as John Hammond’s egomaniacal nephew (wonder- fully silly). Of course, the situations are ridiculous, the tension sometimes collapses into laughs, the sci- ence is bad, etc., etc. But the overriding counterargument to all of these criticisms is that we get excitement, lots of beautiful dinosaurs, and even those pterodactyls which were myste- riously missing from the first film. Thank you, Mr. Spielberg, and now it’s on to “Amistad” and “Saving Private Ryan” and “Indy 4” and let’s win there.

What a terrific experience for our last review this year. On Tuesday night we checked out the new Sheridan Livery Inn. Upon entering we discovered a spectacular atmosphere. The distant wall consisted entirely oflarge picture windows, and a festive fountain gurgled its playful song in the center of the res- taurant. In the background, the music of piano genius George Winston was playing, and the many patrons all seemed to be enjoying themselves; it was like a scene out of Hotel California. The varied menu offered us an excellent se- lection. The main focus seems to be ‘surf and turf but the restaurant also offers everything from Burgers to Scallops in Bourbon and from Grilled Lamb Chops to Ruben sandwiches. The wide variety made our decisions difiicult. Soon we were ready to order: Spinach and Pesto Chicken on a bed of linguini for Robin and the 802 New York Strip for Doug. Both entrees came with a choice of soup or salad. Robin choose the vegetarian vegetable soup while Doug selected a salad with Tomato Bal- BY ANDREA EWING PHI ASSOCIATE EDITOR samic Vinaigrette dressing. Both ofthese first courses were excellent! Robin’s soup was full offresh spices and seasonings, while the dress- ing on Doug’s salad was unlike anything he has ever had in Lexington before —— truly unique. The first course also came with fresh bread that stayed soft and ‘ palatable throughout the meal. It was obviously oven- prepared, not microwaved. (The inn is) Our surprise did not end with the presenta- tion. The taste of our dishes supported their looks. Robin’s dish was rich and flavorful; Doug‘s steak was tender and prepared exactly as he likes it. Our waitress even brought back the “police baton“ pepper grinder, which Doug had used for his salad, and offered its use with the entrees. We were beginning to feel full, but wejust didn‘t want to let this good time end, so we ordered desserts. We selected the White Chocolate Mousse with raspberry sauce and the Double Chocolate Cake. The desserts were the perfect end to a perfect meal. As we finished the restaurant was still crowded, but we did not feel pressured to leave.

Good casting makes ‘Into the Woods’ a success but the results of her wants do not lead to the happiness she seeks. The playwright, James Lapine, added the characters of the Baker written as dim-witted. “Into The Woods” opened Friday nightto asold-out audience. Billed as a “thoroughly beguiling mixture of fairy-tale characters” with “de- lightful music” and “magical staging,” it fiilfilled its promises. As the curtain rose, the set came into view. The professional look to the all the scenery provided an excellent backdrop for the action taking place in front of it. Probably the most impressive aspect proved to be the woods themselves. As scenes changed, the woods them- selves shifted on platforms. The moon and stars that appear later in the show lend an eerie feeling to the set that is most appropriate. “Once upon atime,” the narrator begins, “in far off kingdom lived a fair young maiden, asad young lad and a childless baker with his wife.” This line begins a frantic and imaginaryjoumey to fulfill wishes and break curses. The familiar tales become intertwined and lead to fates previously unimagined for the characters involved. Little Red Riding Hood, played by freshman Brittany Ahlstrom, was very convincing as the innocent, little girl that we all know and love from one of our favorite fairy tales. In the woods, she packs a knife and pulls it out on a number of occasions. T.W. Leshner portrays Jack, a boy who is rather slow but loveable. It was amazing to learn that this was his first appearance in a musical. He brought out a serious side to Jack even though the character is In the first act, Cinderella stays true to the original Grimm fairy tale as compared to the toned down Disney version. Freshman Mackenzie Caldwell, Cinderella, fit the part visually and offered the audience a look into Cinderella’s real personality. She wishes for many things, We’ve been doing t and his wife to tie all the other tales together. Denis Riva as the Baker was convincing as a harried, common man dealing with witches and giants. The men of audience can relate to him, even when he performs the strangest actions. Tara Herbert filling the role of the Baker’s wife appeals to the women in the audience. She is strong minded and sensible, but still dreams of her prince. Perhaps the best performance was that of the Witch, Adrienne Bryant. The role itself is very demanding, yet Bryant proved herself extremely capable. She was the witch we all hate and fear, but Bryant shows us the depth of her emotions. The princes played by Aaron Brotherton and lady Koch made a pair obsessed with self-gratification. They battle in song to prove who is going through the most sufiering while obtaining their women. “Agony,” sung by the two prince,s reveals their self—obsession and yearning for the opposite sex. “No More,” a duet sung by the Baker and the Mysterious Man played by Zach Hanks, was very emotional closure to a hectic story line. The ballad was performed skillfully and rendered a heart-felt response from the audience. Minor catches included actors tripping, a missed light cue and a few missed notes. This can only be expected on opening night and improved upon with each following performance. The show promises much and delivers more. From excellent make-up for the Wolf to beautiful costumes and from superb light- ing to marvelous performances by the cast and orchestra, the play will not disappoint, rather it will delight and inspire. —Lea Ann Bigger and Gwerimarie Ewing contributed to this article.
