THE WOODS CREEK GAP

How Wide is the Separation Between the Law School and the Undergraduate School?

IL, the fall of 1976, Washington and Lee’s School of
Law packed up its torts and its texts and moved, leaving the
cozy environs of Tucker Hall on W&L’s historic Colonnade
to take up residence in spacious, modern Lewis Hall.

The move created an obvious division—a physical one—
between the law school and the undergraduate school,
separated as they are by Woods Creek.

But now, five years after the move, some members of the
University community are concerned that this physical
separation has caused, or at least magnified, other divisions
and that there exist differences which simply cannot be
reconciled no matter how many footbridges span Woods
Creek to connect the schools.

Has there been a change? Or is it only imagined? Has the
relationship between the two schools been altered by the
relatively recent geographic separation? Or has there always
been an invisible, perhaps inevitable, line of demarcation? If,
as some argue, the relationship has changed, is that a

desirable change? And if it is not desirable, can anything be
done to reverse the trend? What will be the future relationship
between the law and undergraduate schools?

These questions are not necessarily new. Conversations
about a growing rift between the two schools has been heard
on both sides of Woods Creek for some time now. But the
issue rose to the surface in March when student leaders
addressed the questions, touching off a series of articles and
editorials in both the Ring-tum Phi, the undergraduate
newspaper, and its law school counterpart, the Law News.

There is, in the debate, some common ground. Virtually
everyone associated with Washington and Lee seems to
acknowledge that some separation between the undergraduate
and law schools not only exists, but is quite natural given the
different purposes and goals of the two schools.

Yet, there are those who contend that one of the
University’s distinctive traits is a certain sense of community
that pervades the campus. These are the people who not only

 

 

 

 

 

suggest the situation has changed, but also lament that change.

But is it really any different now from what it ever was?

William McC. Schildt, 64, ’68L, assistant dean of the
law school, says no.

‘‘There was no more interaction [between undergraduates
and law students] when I was in law school than there is
today,’’ says Schildt, speaking from the perspective of one
who attended W&L both as an undergraduate and a law
Student.

Andrew W. McThenia, ’58, ’63L, a professor of law who
addresses the question from the same perspective as Schildt,
agrees, saying: ‘‘People who think the separation is a ‘new’
thing are freezing history at a point in time when they were
here, the way things were. There was a separation then, it has
manifested itself in different ways, but there has always been
Separation.’’

And from that same perspective Robert E. R. Huntley,
"50, ’57L, president of the University and professor of law,
suggests: ‘‘Nostalgia has a way of visiting the past with a
rosy glow that never existed. There’s always been a
separation between the law and undergraduate students. There
was a Separation for me when I was a student. On the other
hand, for several reasons, separation is a greater fact now.”’

Why is the separation more apparent?

First and foremost, there is that geographic separation.
The move from Tucker Hall to Lewis Hall represents a move
of no more than 300 yards. In some respects, though, it might
as well have been 300 miles.

Law students simply do not need to come to the main
campus very often. The exceptions are meals in the dining
hall or co-op and use of the gymnasium. Also,
undergraduates find little need to cross the ravine to visit the
law school.

And it is not a situation limited to the respective student
bodies.

The move created an obvious division—a ‘‘Faculty interchange is not quite as great now as it has

. been,’’ admits Roy L. Steinheimer, dean of the law school,

by Woods Creek. The footbridges are there, though. So the physical
separation, while a factor, is not the only change in the
relationship.

‘*The physical division has made the separation that has
always existed more evident,’’ says Schildt.

Louis W. Hodges, professor of religion, adds that ‘‘a
community—a sense of relating among human beings

was a separation then, it has manifested itself What, then, are the other changes, the other differences?

Some figures help explain: in 1957, there were 97
ae students in the School of Law while in 1980, four years after
separation. ”’ the move, the law school enrollment was 334—more than
Andrew W. McThenia, °58, *63L triple the number of 23 years earlier.
ee With the change in numbers has come an even more
dramatic change in the composition of the law school student
body.
For instance, the law class of 1959 had 29 graduates
representing eight states. By contrast, the law class of 1979

in different ways, but there has always been

had 115 graduates representing 25 states. Law students now
come from more undergraduate institutions than ever
before—144 different schools as opposed to just 79 in 1970.

All of this did not just happen, of course. The University
instituted a law admissions policy designed to make the law
school a strong national institution.

Joseph E. Ulrich, ’59, ’61L, professor of law, observes
that “‘when you decided to go out and recruit and bring in
people from all over the nation, you necessarily had a more
diverse group. The first year I was on the admissions
committee, we had about 250 applications, the great majority
from Washington and Lee and V.M.I. Over the next few
years, we had 1,300 to 1,500.’’

Starting in the 1976-77 admissions year, Washington and
Lee graduates were no longer given special consideration in
admission to the School of Law. Prior to that change,
Washington and Lee had been a seven-year program for many
students: four years for the bachelor’s degree with another
three for the law degree. Of the 185 students enrolled in the
law school in 1970, 46 (or almost 25 percent) had received
their undergraduate degrees from Washington and Lee. Ten
years later, that figure was 26 (or less than eight percent) out
of 334 law students.

The fact is, W&L undergraduates are no longer
encouraged to apply automatically to W&L’s law school.

‘‘The advice I give to an undergraduate is that if you’ve
been to Washington and Lee, an all-male institution in a
small town, for four years and you can get into a law school
as good or better than Washington and Lee, then go,’’ says
Michael A. Cappeto, director of career counseling and
placement for the undergraduate school and pre-law advisor.

Adds Ulrich: “‘My own impression is that for Washington
and Lee students [undergraduates] it’s better to go some place
else for law school.”’

The decline in the number of W&L undergraduates
strolling across the footbridge to Lewis Hall for their
postgraduate work has unquestionably contributed to
whatever division exists between the schools. Fewer law
students have ties to the undergraduate community.

Clearly, the law school has become a different institution
from what it was several years ago simply in terms of the
diversity of its student body.

That diversity involves more than the increasing number
of undergraduate schools represented in the law school. There
was a crucial turning point in 1972, for it was then that the
law school began admitting women. Without question, that
event had great impact on whatever gulf might have existed
between the two schools.

**With the addition of women, the law school becomes
more and more a socially distinct and self-sufficient
community,’’ says Lewis H. LaRue, ’59, professor of law.

The differences in the composition of the respective
student bodies do not stop there, either.

In any given year, about 20 to 25 percent of the law
students will be married—a figure far greater than that in the
undergraduate school. And, as another point of comparison,
the average age of the entering first year law student is
slightly over 23 as opposed to the average age of an entering

In 1957, there were 97 students in the School

triple the number of 23 years earlier.

W&L freshman—18. Too, more law students than ever are
entering law school after spending a year or more in the job
market.

With these striking changes in the law school student
body—the variety of undergraduate institutions represented,
the addition of women, the increase in the married student
population—t is little wonder the law students and
undergraduates find less common ground than in the past.

Says McThenia: *‘It’s not surprising to me that there is
not going to be a lot in common between a 42-year-old
woman who has returned to [law] school and an 18-year-old
freshman in college for the first ttme. They approach life
differently and have had different life experiences. And both
are now at Washington and Lee.”’

There are still other changes. Some observers note that
legal education—i.e., the way law students are forced to
perform—is also different now.

Huntley, for instance, says that ‘‘there is a likely
difference in the maturity and motivation of undergraduate
and law students, a difference that is endemic to the situation.
This has now been enhanced by the greater competition
among law students in any law school to excel. The
competition in law and in a tighter job market has increased
the unity that exists in the law school.

‘‘In the old days, it did not make a difference how well
you did in undergraduate or law school—not nearly the
difference it makes now. But now the greater competition for
satisfactory grades and good recommendations has increased
the professional competition among law students. Now law
students simply have to work a lot harder.’’

There are other, more visible, signs of the separation.

Access to support services, dining facilities in particular,
have added to the division. For many years, Washington and
Lee students were virtually forced to eat at fraternity houses
since there was no campus dining hall open to all students.
As a result, most law students began or continued an

affiliation with a fraternity—and thereby a relationship with

the undergraduates. The addition of a dining hall open to all
and other support services has lessened the fraternity
affiliations of law students.

For the past several years, the law school and
undergraduate school have operated under different academic
calendars. In 1970, the undergraduate school instituted its
new curriculum with an accompanying change in calendar—
two 12-week terms followed by one six-week term in the
spring. The law school curriculum, meantime, requires two
15-week terms. That means that while classes are in session
for 30 weeks at both schools, the two groups are only on
campus together for about 21 of those weeks, allowing for
varying holiday schedules and not counting pre-examination
reading days and examination weeks.

In 1979, for the first time, there were separate commence-
ment exercises for the two schools—again for very important
reasons. The undergraduate calendar requires that
commencement take place during the first week of June at a
time when law seniors would have been out of school for
about three weeks and in the middle of bar examination
review courses.

**Both schools have their own classes for good,
pedagogical reasons,’’ says Lewis G. John, ’58, dean of
students in the undergraduate school. ‘*But when both
undergraduate and law schools were on the same academic
calendar, there was a more natural congruence.’’

It is, perhaps, these differences in the calendar that fuel
some conflicts between the two student bodies.

For instance, when the undergraduate campus is on break
for certain vacations, some University support services are
not available to law students who are still in class. The dining
hall, for one important example, does not serve meals. The
infirmary operates under shortened hours. The swimming
pool closes because no lifeguards are available. This creates a
situation in which the law students feel slighted.

James F. Berl, ’81L, president of the Student Bar
Association (S.B.A.) summarizes that feeling when he says:
‘“The University seems to revolve totally around the
undergraduate campus.”’

Adds Daniel R. Collopy, ’81L, treasurer of the S.B.A.:
‘“We sometimes get the feeling that we’re being treated as
second-class citizens.”’

Samuel L. Flax, ’81L, a third-year law student, observes:
‘“Many law students feel that since they pay the same tuition
as undergraduates, they should be entitled to the same
University services. Most law students really don’t realize
that if this were an autonomous body of 350 students [in the
law school] they wouldn’t have these support services in the
first place.”’

Aside from these general complaints, there is the special
situation arising from the presence of women law students on
a campus with an all-male undergraduate population.

Malinda E. Dunn, ’81L, a third-year law student and law
representative to the University Council, speaks to that
question when she says that ‘‘the University was really
lacking in support services for the women law students until
recently. There are still special problems that women have
here that I’m not sure anyone recognizes.”’

There is also the matter of the structure of several
campus-wide governance committees. The University
Council, the official intermediary between the students and
the faculty and administration, is composed of 27 members.
Only three of those 27 are from the law school.

The Student Body Executive Committee, which is
responsible for administration of the Honor System and the
supervision of all campus student activities, is composed of
12 members and includes a designation for only two law
representatives. Although it is theoretically possible to have
five, it has never been more than three in recent years.

Law representatives are not consciously excluded from
either the University Council or the Executive Committee—or
from any other group, for that matter. But the law school is
unlikely to get a significantly strong voice in student affairs.

Some student body leaders point out that law students are
represented as much as they want to be.

Robert H. Willis Jr., ’81, a senior and president of the
student body, says: ‘“When the effort for better
communication is made, it seems to be made only by the
undergraduate side. And law students often say they don’t

have enough representation, but every law student who
applied to a student body committee this year was accepted.”’

The Student Bar Association, the law school student
organization, regularly receives approximately 86 percent of
the student activity fees that law students pay for their non-
classroom activities. The remainder is used for general
student body functions, both undergraduate and law. Some
law students feel the S.B.A. should receive more; some
undergraduates think it should receive less.

‘*There are many people who advocate giving the S.B.A.
all of their student activity fees and letting them do with it as
they please,’’ says Eric T. Myers, ’82, a junior and president-
elect of the student body. ‘‘But that would probably make the
division between the two groups even more pronounced. ’’

Adds Willis: ‘‘We understand the differences in the needs
of law students, and we give them more freedom on spending
than we do with any other campus organization.’’

Perhaps the greatest issue in the division between the two
schools involves the Honor System. It is not a new problem.

Richard A. Denny, a 1952 graduate and president of the
Washington and Lee Alumni Association, addresses that issue
when he says that ‘‘the chief concern of many alumni
regarding the division is with the Honor System.’

And Flax, who is president of the University’s chapter of
Omicron Delta Kappa national honorary society, puts the
Situation in perspective: *‘There is a basic resentment among
law students regarding the Honor System. Many feel that, .
considering the composition of the Executive Committee,
they would not be judged by their peers in an honor hearing.
But I don’t think that most law students recognize the
intangible assets the honor system provides: free access to the
stacks in the law library, 24-hour access to the law school in
general, being able to leave your books in a carrel without
fear of having them disappear.”’

Adds Sara A. Burford, ’81L, secretary of S.B.A.: “‘In

little question. The question that remains, though, is whether
the gulf can somehow be reduced; whether some new, though
less tangible footbridges can be constructed, and, most of all,
whether narrowing the gap is an important or even desirable
goal.

Some observers point to the relationship as it often exists

at other universities—one of coexistence rather than
ee community.
ini Association Milton Colvin, professor of politics, says: “‘I have a
special interest in the law school since my father taught there
for several years. I think maybe we should look more to the
relationship that exists between the undergraduate and law
schools at such institutions as Yale or the University of
Chicago—one of coexistence with only a board of trustees
and administration that serve both groups.’’

Says LaRue: ‘‘When I went to law school [at Harvard]
there was absolutely no mixing at all—to the mutual
satisfaction of both groups.’’

And Steinheimer adds: *"You can go to most any

university campus and find that once persons enter a
professional school they take on a different identity—one that
is very different from that which they had as
undergraduates.’

On the other hand, some insist that a sense of community
is extremely important to Washington and Lee.

Willis says: “‘I believe that at any university, especially
Washington and Lee, there should be a sense of community
to bind the institution together. The extent of the unity is
what is up for debate.”’

Adds Hodges: ‘‘I’m not sure how much benefit there is by
having closer associations between the two groups. But the

} sense of community, among the entire University, may be a
distinctive feature of Washington and Lee.”’

And this from A. Christian Compton, ’50, ’53L, Virginia

f Supreme Court Justice and a member of the University’s
Board of Trustees: ‘‘In view of present day circumstances, it
may not be possible to foster a sense of community. But the
[law student’s] degree does come from Washington and Lee
University, and I think that Washington and Lee as a whole
can benefit from an exchange between students who attended
other undergraduate institutions and Washington and Lee’s
undergraduates. ’”’

Finally, John offers this: ‘‘My personal view is that we
should have a close relationship and foster a sense of
community. But we should, at the same time, recognize the
clear differences between a professional law school and an
undergraduate school.’’

Law students do—and probably will continue to—
participate in campus affairs alongside undergraduates. Law
students are involved in the intramural athletic programs more
than ever. The guiding force of a major student musical
group, a group that includes as many undergraduates as law
students, is a law student. More law students than ever before
take their meals in the dining hall alongside undergraduates.
Law students take part in student organizations, such as the
‘*Contact’’ speaker forum, the Mock Convention, and the

‘ELECTRONIC JUDGE’

Video Tape System Returns an Instant Verdict on the Performance of W&L Law Students

While the debate over the presence of
cameras in the courtroom continues to rage
in many quarters, that question has become
academic (literally so) in the Moot
Courtroom of Lewis Hall.

There, the cameras are firmly in place,
recording every word and every gesture for
posterity—or at least until someone happens
to push the erase button on the video tape
recorder.

Last summer, the Lewis Hall Moot
Courtroom was equipped with an elaborate
closed-circuit television system which now
serves as the centerpiece of the Law School’s
extensive audio visual program.

Two remote control TV cameras, one
situated directly opposite the judge’s bench
and the other peeking out of a wall slightly
to the right of the bench, silently scan the
entire courtroom. The cameras are controlled
by a single engineer calling all the shots at an
impressive console in the control room which
is located in another part of the building.

With just a few educated flicks of the
wrist, the lone engineer can turn a trial
practice class into a TV show to rival Perry
Mason. Virtually every trick of the
technological trade is available, from split
screen to complete graphics. While one
camera zooms in on a defense attorney cross-
examining a witness, the other camera can be
used to superimpose the judge’s stern
countenance in a corner of the screen.

The new equipment has transformed the
Moot Courtroom into a mini-TV studio
capable of producing tapes that are vastly
superior to those that had come from the
previous system in which one manually
operated portable camera (with cameraman
attached) recorded from a single, unchanging
angle.

‘Most people who watch TV expect the
shots to be switched every so often,”’
explains Tom Williams, the Law School’s
media coordinator. ‘‘Having the two cameras
gives us the capability of making taped
proceedings more realistic in the sense of a
TV production. ”’

Questions of style aside though, perhaps
the major improvement in the system is that
the cameras do their work so unobtrusively,
keeping distractions inside the courtroom to a
bare minimum. In fact, except for the
occasional whir of a camera as it pivots for a

8

 

 

Moot Courtroom’ s unblinking
electronic eye at work

better view, there is no evidence that those
two unblinking, electronic eyes are
watching.

‘“We’ve always sacrificed quality for
staying out of the way in the classroom,”’
Williams observes. ‘‘But in the past we had
to have wires and cable stretched across the
floor and all the equipment in plain sight.
The new system has gotten us out of the
room.’’

And out of sight (more or less, anyway),
out of mind. The Allen Funt syndrome takes
over. Once the students forget they’re on
camera, the result is a more natural—yes,
even candid—performance.

Yet, for all the technological
advancement, what makes the Moot
Courtroom system all the more uncommon is
that it exists almost exclusively for teaching
purposes.

‘“We could, with this system, create
production quality tapes of the sort that some
schools produce to sell,’’ says Williams.
‘*But our media program is designed solely
for the benefit of the students, and I’m
unaware of another school with a system as
extensive as ours that is used only for the
students’ benefit.’’

Precisely how does such a closed-circuit
TV system benefit the aspiring attorneys?

Instant replays, what else? Or, at least,

almost-instant replays.

Suppose, for instance, a member of trial
practice class has spent two hours one
evening presenting a case to the jury.

Fifteen minutes after the verdict is in and
the class is out, the student can walk down to
the library, request the video tape of the
preceding proceedings, and watch the trial
from opening statement to closing argument
in a Study carrel specially equipped with a
video tape player. As a bonus, the student
can eavesdrop (by way of audio tape) on the
jury deliberations, thereby getting an insight
into which arguments succeeded or failed
and why.

‘It is a great advantage to be able to
critique your own performance on video
tape,’’ says Phil Calderone, a third-year law
student who is intimately familiar with the
system from both ends of the camera since he
is a Student assistant to the media program.

‘Not only do you pick out little things—
mannerisms, gestures, and the like—but you
also have the opportunity to examine the
arguments you’ve made. You constantly see
things you were unaware of. Occasionally,
you are reassured by something you see on
the tape—discovering that what you thought
you had done wrong was actually right.’’

The closed-circuit system in the Moot
Courtroom is used extensively in the Burks
Moot Court competition for first-year
students whose oral arguments are taped for
their self-examination and self-critiques. In
addition, visiting lecturers’ presentations are
taped and made available as a library
resource. The system will also be invaluable
when the Law School is host to the National
Institute of Trial Advocacy’s training
program for practicing lawyers in the
summer.

Cable Nine, the undergraduate television
station, has even gotten into the act, airing
tapes of practice trials from time to time.

The Moot Courtroom system, while the
most advanced and complete, is only part of
the overall media effort at the Law School.
Several portable video tape units are
constantly used in other contexts. Classes in
counseling and a seminar in labor
negotiations have found the technique
particularly helpful.

Professor Thomas L. Shaffer, who

areas in which the video taped sessions are
beneficial.

‘“Usually, the students will see most of
the little things they are doing wrong—
fidgeting, saying ‘uh,’ speaking too fast. But
a review of the tapes also shows more subtle
things in a counseling session,’’ Shaffer
Says. ‘‘For instance, a student might find that
he has been too aggressive, or perhaps too
defensive, with a client.

‘‘Eventually we hope to get a remote
control system similar to that in the Moot
Courtroom installed in the office we use to
practice counseling. With a remote control
camera, everyone would forget about the
camera and the exchanges would be more
natural.”’

Another Law School professor, Mark
Grunewald, records virtually every session of
the labor law seminar he teaches and finds
that the video taping serves a dual purpose.

‘‘I do review tapes for the purpose of
pointing things out about the students’ style
in negotiations,’’ Grunewald says. ‘‘But the
taping also enables the students to carry on
the negotiations without my presence. I find
that they react differently when I am not in
the room. Some of the negotiation sessions
can go on for hours, so by taping I am able
to review sessions on a schedule that suits
me, :

At any given time, the reserve desk at the
Law School library has about 225 video
tapes which can be checked out along with a
set of head phones for viewing in one of the
special carrels. There are currently five carrels
equipped with video tape players but,
according to associate librarian Lynn
Wishart, there will soon be seven in use.

‘Of our 225 tapes, 60 are commercially
produced and were purchased for use as
library resources,’’ Wishart explains. ‘The
other 165 have all been produced here and
are constantly being recycled as we erase a
tape and use it over and over again.”’

Given the continuing advancements in
video technology, there is little doubt that
the Law School will find its system even
more useful in the future.

‘That is one of the best things about the
Moot Courtroom system,’’ says Williams.
“It’s all very good equipment and something
that, for our purposes, will never become
obsolete.’’

 

 

THE GAME

The weather was ideal. The Wilson Field stands were nearly
full. The game plan could not have been better.

All in all, it was a perfect setting for The Big Game. Almost
perfect, anyway. There was one slight snag: the final score.

The University of Virginia’s lacrosse team, ranked third in
the nation, built a 5-0 halftime lead, then staved off a strong
second half rally to spill the Generals, 9-6, in the annual battle
between the state’s oldest college lacrosse rivals.

A crowd of 5,250 turned out to watch the proceedings even
though the University was on spring vacation. These photo-
graphs are a sample of how it was.

Stanley Fish, professor of English at
Johns Hopkins University and one of the
nation’s foremost authorities on the works of
John Milton, delivered the address at the
annual Phi Beta Kappa/Cincinnati Society
convocation on March 26 in Lee Chapel.

Thirty undergraduates were inducted into
Phi Beta Kappa this year along with seven
members of the Class of 1980, six of whom
returned to campus to participate in the
ceremonies.

Fish’s lecture, entitled ‘‘No Bias, No
Merit: The Political Structure of Literary
Studies,’’ was both a witty and provocative
discussion of literary criticism.

One of Fish’s major arguments was that
‘literary studies, far from being removed
from the activities of the marketplace, from
the world of politics and business, is a world
of politics and business in its own right and
should be so.’’

A 1959 graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania, Fish received his M.A. and
Ph.D. degrees from Yale University. He
taught at the University of California at
Berkeley before joining the Johns Hopkins
faculty in 1974.

Fish has been a Guggenheim Fellow and
a fellow of the American Council of Learned
Societies. He is a member of the Modern
Language Association, the Milton and
Spenser Societies, and the editorial boards of
Milton Quarterly and Milton Studies.

The author of several books, Fish wrote
what is considered by many in the field as
the most influential book on John Milton in
the last 30 years. It is entitled Surprised by
Sin: The Reader in Paradise Lost and
utilized a technique of literary criticism now
known as ‘‘reader response criticism.”’

Fish is also the author of Self Consuming
Artifacts, a study of 17th century literature;
his latest book is Js There a Text in This

DRINKING AT W&L

Student Body Executive Committee’s Survey Provides Data on Use and Abuse of Alcohol

Citing its concern over the growing
problem of alcohol abuse among college
students throughout the nation, the Student
Body Executive Committee at Washington
and Lee commissioned a study of student
drinking habits at W&L in the fall of 1980.

The study, undertaken by Professor
William Buchanan’s class in social science
research methods, was based on a
questionnaire answered by 675 students—
about half the undergraduate student body.
Results of the study were released in March.

Among other findings, the report
concluded that students’ consumption of
alcohol varies considerably—from the 7.6
percent who said they do not drink at all to
11 percent who said they consume more than
25 drinks per week; that student drinking
patterns conform closely to their parents’
drinking patterns; that drinking is closely

 

associated with the social life at W&L; that
there exists some evidence that alcohol
consumption reduces academic performance
among heavier drinkers; and, that a
substantial number of students would
welcome the availability of non-alcoholic
beverages at social events. |

In response to the study, Lewis G. John,
dean of students, said that the findings
‘‘confirm my impressions’’ and ‘emphasize
the need to look for educational programs in
the area of alcohol abuse.”’

Eric T. Myers, the Executive
Committee’s junior representative and
president-elect of the Student Body for 1981-
82, had originally suggested that the study be
undertaken and that the University consider
starting an alcoholism-awareness program,
such as BACCHUS, a voluntary program
begun at Florida State University to inform

students about the use and abuse of alcohol.

H. Robert Huntley, dean of freshmen,
indicated that, starting next fall, the
University will provide information about
such programs and will give special training
in that area to the freshman dormitory
counselors.

The two-page questionnaire was handed
out to students during spring registration.

According to the study, the ‘‘average’’
student reports that he consumes about nine
beers, glasses of wine, or mixed drinks in the
course of an average school week. The
percentage of non-drinkers—7.6 percent—is
slightly lower than the 11 percent figure
found among other college students.

Perhaps the figure that causes more
concern than any other is the 11 percent who
indicated that they consume more than 25
alcoholic drinks of some kind per week.

According to both James W. Worth,
Washington and Lee’s counseling
psychologist, and Anne McThenia, a
counselor for Alcohol Services of
Rockbridge and Lexington, such a figure is
indicative of individuals bordering on an
alcohol problem. Both Worth and McThenia
also observed that the 11 percent figure is
close to the national average of those with
alcohol problems—one in eight who drink.

As for the connection between students’
and parents’ drinking habits, the study said
that the ‘‘vast majority’’ of students see
themselves and their parents as moderate
drinkers. There was a strong relationship

ie
_ between the students’ perception of their

fathers’ drinking and the students’ own
drinking. For instance, the majority of
students who do not drink said their fathers
seldom or never drink while the students who
reported drinking the most also perceived
their fathers as frequent or heavy drinkers.

The study’s conclusion that drinking is
‘‘almost entirely a social phenomenon,
occurring at group events’’ was based on
Statistics showing that the most common
situations in which drinking occurs are at
social events, on a date, or on Wednesday
nights when many parties regularly take
place.

The report indicated that those who do
not drink are less satisfied with the social life
at Washington and Lee than those who do.
Fifty-five percent of abstainers are
dissatisfied compared to only 24 percent of
all students.

Since a good deal of the social life
revolves around fraternities, it was not
surprising that fraternities are the locale for
much of the drinking. The study showed that
fraternity members drink significantly more
than non-fraternity members. Even students

who are not currently fraternity members, but

either used to be or plan to be members,
drink more than non-fraternity men.

One area of concern in the study was the
number of respondents—4 percent to 19
percent—who said they drink, at least
occasionally, in what may be considered
inappropriate circumstances: alone, while
studying, or in the morning. Only 2 percent
said they do so frequently, but Ms.
McThenia noted that drinking in such
circumstances usually occurs only in the

more advanced stages of an alcohol problem.
Another concern was the high number of
students who said they drink while driving—
12 percent said they do so frequently and 33
percent said occasionally. The authors of the
report attributed this response to drinking
associated with “‘road trips’’ to attend social
functions at neighboring women’s colleges.
The study was particularly interested in
the consequences of drinking, including any
relationship between drinking and
academics. According to the report, most of
the consequences are embarrassing or
uncomfortable, rather than serious, but ‘‘it is
apparent that drinking does have a damaging
effect on academic performance for a
substantial minority. . . .”” Sophomores,
who tend more than other classes to live in
fraternity houses, were most likely to have
their academic work affected by drinking.
Nearly 15 percent of those sophomores who

 

admitted to negative experiences from
drinking cited poor test scores as a
consequence.

The heavier drinkers also had the more
pronounced academic consequences. While
20 percent of all students frequently or
occasionally miss classes or appointments as
a result of drinking, this percentage climbs to
40 percent among the heaviest drinkers, and
they are also more likely to fail their classes.

Respondents to the questionnaire more
often cited more positive experiences from
drinking—i.e., ‘‘had a good time,”’’ ‘‘felt
more socially at ease,’’ ‘‘made new
friends.”’

Asked to rank reasons for drinking,
students checked most frequently that their
primary reason was ‘‘to celebrate.’’ Other
reasons in order of frequency were ‘‘to
relax,’’ “‘for the taste,’’ ‘‘to feel good,’’ and
least frequently ‘‘because others drink.’’ Ms.
McThenia said that many people might be
alarmed that some 20 percent said they drink
‘‘to feel good,’’ but she added that alcohol
counselors would not consider that
significant.

Since four out of every five students
always or frequently drink at social events,
the authors of the study asked whether such
social events are structured to encourage
drinking by those who would prefer not to.
Of all students questioned, 13 percent said
they would consume soft drinks rather than
alcohol if soft drinks were available at a
social event, and another 62 percent would
like to have the choice of soft or hard drinks.
That led Worth to observe that the lack of
opportunity for students to enjoy non-
alcoholic beverages adds to potential
drinking problems. Dean John noted that the
administration strongly advocates having soft
drinks and other alternative beverages
present at all University-wide parties and
social functions.

The students who conducted the survey
and wrote the report were J. Brooks Flippen,
a junior from Norfolk, Va.; Michael M.
Gregory, a sophomore from Richmond, Va.;
James E. Herbert, a senior from Winston-
Salem, N.C.; Eden Li, an exchange student
from Hong Kong; Thomas H. McCoy, a
senior from Boyce, Va.; Neil Sheehan, a
senior from Bloomington, Ind., and Mark
Torres, a junior from Norwich, Ct.

FROM MOUND TO MUNICH

In the Contest Between Academics and Athletics, Hachenburg Scores One for the Classroom

This article by Bill Millsaps, sports
editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch,
appeared in the April 19 edition of that
newspaper and is reprinted here with
permission.

The 1981 Washington and Lee baseball
brochure offers these comments from coach
Craig Jones on Rich Hachenburg, a junior
pitcher from Miramar, Fla.

‘“The veteran in our starting rotation and
proven competitor with strong arm, good
breaking pitches, nice mustache . . .’’ Jones
could have added, ‘‘and a clearly defined
sense of priorities.’’

During the Generals’ regular season,
Hachenburg appeared in seven games with a
2-3 won-lost record, 25 strikeouts in 30
innings and a 4.75 earned run average. The
numbers aren’t overpowering, but Jones was
looking forward to having them available
when W&L, for the first time in its baseball
annals, plays in the ODAC tournament next
weekend in Lynchburg.

Only Hachenburg won’t be in
Lynchburg. He’ll be in Munich. As in
Munich, Germany.

A German major at W&L, Hachenburg
long ago planned to take a six-week trip with
10 classmates and a W&L professor to what
amounts to the ‘‘old country’’ for
Hachenburg. His father was born in
Germany, and his grandmother, whom he
hasn’t seen since he was 7, still lives there.
So, this morning, around 5 o’clock, Prof.
Robert Youngblood and the 11 W&L
students will drive to Washington National
Airport, fly to Kennedy Airport in New York
and then transfer to a plane that will carry
them to Munich.

‘‘T wish there was some way I could
commute back and forth between Munich
and Lynchburg,”’ said Hachenburg. ‘‘I really
feel we can win the tournament.”’

Hachenburg has, however, much stronger
feelings about his academic work at W&L, a
school which gives no athletic scholarships
and therefore cannot bring pressure to bear
on athletes and resolve sports-studies
conflicts in such fashion.

‘It was a trip I had to take for my
major,’’ said Hachenburg, ‘‘and I wanted to
take it last year, but money was a problem.’’
So he rescheduled it for this spring, came up

16

 

with the necessary $1,200, and put his name
on the list.

At the beginning of last week, it didn’t

appear there would be any problem for
Hachenburg. The Generals faced four must-
win games and needed some outside help to
gain a berth in the tournament. So they won
four straight and got the outside help in the

form of a Randolph-Macon victory over
Hampden-Sydney, one of the Generals’
competitors for the final berth in the ODAC
event.

‘‘If I were on scholarship at a Division I
school,’’ said Hachenburg, “‘I would have
thought a long time about doing this because
when you’re on scholarship, you’re

essentially being paid to play. The way it is
here, none of us is going to make the pros.
My days are numbered as an athlete, and I
know it.”’

When it comes to athletics, Hachenburg
has long had such a realistic outlook. As a
senior in high school, he stood ninth
academically in his class of 506 (““some of
my professors here would be amused by
that,’’ he said), and he had a choice: ‘‘go to
the University of Florida and be a Social
Security number to my professors, or come
to a small school where I could get a fine
education and play some baseball and
football.”’

The small school turned out to be W&L,
and Hachenburg hasn’t regretted his choice.
He’s lettered three years in baseball, and last
fall he was the Generals’ starting
quarterback.

When Hachenburg leaves today, he won’t
be returning to the W&L campus until fall
football practice. He’s already boxed the
clothes he won’t be taking to Germany and
sent them home to Florida by United Parcel
Service. But one essential item isn’t being
shipped back to Miramar. ‘‘I’ve deflated a
football and put it in my suitcase,’’ he said.
‘‘T hope I can find some people over there
willing to catch some passes.”’

The trip last six weeks and will be worth
six credit hours. After it’s over, Hachenburg
will remain in Germany for three more weeks
visiting family members. Then he’ll go back
to Miramar and, for the sixth straight
summer, be a counselor in the city’s
recreation system. After that job is done, it’s
back to Lexington and pre-season football
practice in mid-August.

For the immediate future, Hachenburg
hopes there is some way he can keep tabs on
what his teammates are doing in Lynchburg.
The best he’s been able to arrange so far is a
promise from W&L athletic publicist Ken
Ries that he’ll mail to Munich the stats from
all the rest of the Generals’ games, plus any
stories that appear in the papers.

“The rest of the guys on the team are sad
to see me leave,’’ said Hachenburg, ‘‘at least
I like to think so. And I’m sadder than
anybody else.

‘‘But I still feel a part of the team in the
tournament. I'll still be in the dugout. I did
my best this year. I think I contributed.”’

$1 Million Scholarship Bequest; Student Helps Put Out the Blaze; ROTC Awards

 

 

$1-million bequest
endows scholarship

Washington and Lee University has
received a bequest of more than $1 million
from the estate of Egbert B. Doggett, a 1914
graduate of the University, for the creation of
an endowed honor scholarship.

The Egbert B. Doggett Scholarship
Endowment will fund scholarships that will
be awarded on the basis of academic merit,
strong traits of character, and financial need.

Mr. Doggett was a native of Danville,
Va., the son of Rev. William and Ellen
Bogue Doggett. He received the bachelor of
science degree in civil engineering from
W&L.

After working as an engineer for the city
of Philadelphia immediately following his
graduation from W&L, Mr. Doggett served
with the 603rd Engineers in the 5th Army
from July, 1918, through July, 1919.

Following the war, Mr. Doggett joined
the Bethlehem Steel Company in Bethlehem,
Pa., as an accountant. He worked for
Bethlehem Steel from 1920 until his
retirement in 1961, serving much of that time
as an actuary with the company’s pension
and relief plans. He died in October of 1978.

In announcing the University’s receipt of
Mr. Doggett’s generous gift, which totals
$1,059,829, Washington and Lee University
president Robert E. R. Huntley said: “‘Mr.
Doggett’s years at Washington and Lee early
in this century were a tremendous influence
upon his life. Now, through his foresight and
generosity, new generations of deserving
students will benefit from the
accomplishments of his long life. We are
grateful and pleased that we are able to honor
his memory in this way.”’

_ The Doggett Scholarship Endowment
becomes an integral part of the extensive
financial aid program Washington and Lee
administers annually. In 1980-81, for
instance, W&L is providing $1,184,090 in
financial aid to 345 of the University’s
undergraduates.

Moreover, the Doggett bequest applies
toward the goal of $12.5 million that was set
for new endowment during the second and
final phase of the University’s development
program. After successfully completing the

first phase of the $62-million program in
1976 by raising $37.5 million ($1.5 million
beyond the stated goal of $36 million), the
University has currently received $17.5
million in commitments toward the second
phase goal of $26 million. The second phase
of the program is scheduled for completion
in December of 1981.

 

 

Alumnus corrects magazine
on Lee’s resting place

No, Robert E. Lee’s grave has not been
moved, no matter what you may have read in
Sports Illustrated recently. And Paul
Simpson, Class of ’76, was quick to point
that out.

In an article on Mike Newlin, a member
of the New Jersey Nets professional

basketball team, Sports Illustrated writer
Douglas Looney refers to Newlin’s habit of
exploring historic sites in the cities he visits
during his travels in the National Basketball
Association.

Wrote Looney: **In Washington (Newlin)
likes to visit Arlington National Cemetery
and immerse himself in the life of Robert E.
Lee, who lived close by and is buried
there.”’

Ahem. Robert E. Lee buried in Arlington
National Cemetery? Indeed.

Two weeks later the 19th Hole section of
Sports Illustrated included Simpson’s letter,
setting matters straight: ‘‘. . . for the sake of
historical accuracy,’’ wrote Simpson, ‘‘your
readers should know that when Newlin is in
Washington, D.C., he must travel farther
than Arlington National Cemetery to visit the
grave of Robert E. Lee. Lee is buried in
Lexington, Va. (about 185 miles southwest

 

Important art notice
to alumni and parents

A major benefit exhibition of paintings
from the University’s collections and from
the collections of alumni and parents will
be held in the late spring of 1982 at the
Hirschl-Adler Galleries in New York City.

The exhibition will commemorate the
250th birthday of George Washington, the
University’s first major benefactor, who was
himself an art collector.

On special loan for the show will be a
choice selection of works from Washington
and Lee’s collections of 18th-, 19th-, and
20th-century paintings, including the cele-
brated first portrait of Washington from life,
in the uniform of a British Colonial colonel,
painted in 1772 by Charles Willson Peale.

A selections committee will be formed
to seek major works for inclusion in the
show comparable in quality to those in the
University’s collections.

Approximately 150 paintings will make
up the exhibition, which will cover three
centuries of American and European art. A
catalogue of the exhibition will be pub-
lished.

Norman Hirschl of Hirschl-Adler Gal-
leries and James W. Whitehead, secretary

 

 

of the University and curator of its art col-
lections, announced plans for the show.

If you wish to participate, please send
your name, address, and telephone number,
and a description of the painting or paintings

mitting for consideration to:

For the record (to borrow a phrase from
Sports Illustrated), a spokesman for the
magazine said nine letters had been received
correcting the mistake. He did not, however,
know whether all nine letter writers had
W&L connections. We’ll simply assume
they all did.

 

 

Fire fighting pays off
in and out of the classroom

David Stevens, a sophomore from
Annapolis, Md., has discovered a rather
unusual method for improving his study
habits—fighting fires in his spare time.

At least, Stevens contends his status as a
full-fledged member of the Lexington
Volunteer Fire Department actually helped
his studies.

‘*T find I organize my time much better,
get my studying done more efficiently, since
I know my beeper is liable to go off at any
moment and I'll have to go out on a call,”’
Stevens said.

These academic implications
notwithstanding, the members of the Phi
Kappa Psi fraternity are not about to scoff at
their fraternity brother’s avocation. In fact,
Stevens’ fire fighting has been a boon to the
Phi Psi house—quite literally.

When a fire broke out on the third floor
of the Phi Psi house early one Sunday
morning in March, Stevens was one of the
first to hear the blare of the smoke detectors.
He made a quick survey of the fire, realized
it was out of control, and immediately
ordered the building evacuated.

Then Stevens grabbed up his uniform and
raced the five blocks to the fire station to go
to work.

“Once we arrived at the Phi Psi house,
Dave led us into the fire with the hose,’’ said
Lexington fire chief Bryan Causey.

‘“T knew exactly where the fire was and
what the situation was in there,’’ Stevens
added. ‘‘It saved us some time.”’

The combination of the smoke detectors’
warning and Stevens’ training helped limit
damage to the house as well as prevent any
injuries.

Stevens is the only student among
Lexington’s 46 volunteer firemen. His status
is not without precedent, however. In years
past, other W&L students served as
volunteers.

‘‘But it’s been quite some time since we
had a student,’’ fire chief Causey noted. ‘‘I

18

think it’s valuable for us to have a student on
the rolls considering the large student
population we have in Lexington. Certainly
Dave’s presence was invaluable in the
instance of his fraternity house catching
fire.’’

Since he joined the department in
January, after satisfying the one-year
residency requirement, Stevens has
responded to 90 percent of the calls,
occasional'y making a premature exit from a
class when beckoned by the beeper on his
belt.

As one W&L professor observed about
those occasional disruptions, “‘What are you
supposed to do when his beeper goes off and
he asks permission to leave? Tell him to let the
city burn?’’

 

 

ROTC honors bestowed
at awards ceremony

Christopher S. O’Connor, a senior from
New York City, was the winner of the
Outstanding Cadet Award this year in the
University’s ROTC program. He was

 

presented the University sabre, the symbol of
the award, by President Robert E. R.
Huntley during the annual President’s Day
Awards Ceremony in April. O’Connor won
the award by vote of the Corps of Cadets.

Two other seniors received top honors in
the program. Douglas R. Shipman of South
Glastonbury, Conn., was presented the
Major Ronald O. Scharnberg Memorial
Award, named in honor of a member of the
W&L Class of 1963 who was killed in action
in Vietnam. Alan Pryor of Atlanta was the
winner of the George C: Marshall ROTC
Award.

Black Emphasis Month
brings array of speakers

Actress Ruby Dee provided the highlight
of Black Emphasis Month with a
performance of dramatic readings in Lee
Chapel.

Sponsored by the Student Association for
Black Unity, the month-long series of events
followed the theme ‘‘Black Women in the
’80s.”’

Ms. Dee, whose husband, Ossie Davis,
visited the campus a year ago, skillfully

 

wove a wide assortment of material into a
delightful performance.

In an interview with the Roanoke Times,
Ms. Dee had expressed an optimistic view of
the future. ‘‘We’re on the verge of some
spiritual awakening,’’ she said. ‘*I think the
American people are going to move into
another dimension. We are going to be
brothers.”’

In addition to Ms. Dee’s performance,
the Black Emphasis Month series ran the
gamut of topics:

@ Mignon Holland Anderson, author of
Mostly Womenfolk and a Man or Two, \ectured
on her experience as a black woman writer;

e@ Beverly J. A. Burton, staff attorney for

Black Emphasis Month concluded with the tenth annual Black Ball, sponsored by AB. U.

 

 

the Virginia Legal Aid Society, spoke on
black women and the law;

Students forgo meals
to fight world hunger

By forfeiting one of their evening meals
at Evans Dining Hall, W&L students raised
almost $600 for world hunger in March.

The Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship

Le GAZETTE

designated March 25 as World Hunger Day,
encouraging students to make contributions.
The dining hall contributed the cost of each
meal students forfeited to the fund, and
several fraternities also contributed the cost
of a dinner.

According to junior J. Franklin Williams,
president of the Inter-Varsity Christian
Fellowship, half the funds, which totaled
$591, were donated to the Community
Pantry, a part of the Concerned Citizens of
Lexington, while the other half went to
World Vision International, an overseas
relief and emergency organization.

 

 

 

Jenks and Paxton cited
for historical scholarship

William A. Jenks, professor of history
and head of the department, and a former
student of his, Robert O. Paxton, ’54, now
professor of history at Columbia University,
were recognized recently as being among
those American historians who have made
significant contributions to European history.

The recognition came in the presidential
address of David H. Pinkney at the 95th
annual meeting of the American Historical
Association in Washington, D.C., last
December. The address, *‘ American
Historians on the European Past,’’ was
published in the February 1981 issue of The
American Historical Review, the
association’s journal.

In his address, Pinkney counted Dr.
Jenks among those American historians
responsible for the lively awakening of the
historiography of the Habsburg Empire after
it fell into a long sleep following the
dissolution of the middle European
community. He said that German reviewers
in approving and acclaiming the books of
these Americans ‘‘have observed that
American historians of the Habsburg Empire
enjoy the double advantage of removal from
the nationalist passions of the area and of
having the insights of those who have
experienced life in a federal system that has
worked and flourished.’’

Dr. Jenks is the author of four books on
Austrian history: The Austrian Electoral
Reform of 1907 (1950); Vienna and the
Young Hitler (1960); Austria Under the Iron
Ring, 1879-1893 (1965); and Francis Joseph
and the Italians, 1849-1859 (1978).

Paxton was cited in the address as being
among the leading American historians of
contemporary France. Pinkney noted that
French historians have to an unusual degree

surrendered contemporary history to
journalists and politicians and that American
historians have moved into the field,
bringing to their study the advantages of
detachment and perspective. He pointed out
that several books by Americans, among
them Paxton’s Parades and Politics at Vichy:
The French Officer Corps Under Marshall
Pétain (1966) earned the admission of René
Rédmond of the University of Paris in 1970
that ‘‘to Americans we owe some of the best
studies of contemporary France.’’ He added
that Paxton’s Vichy France: Old Guard and
New Order, 1940-1944 (1972), published after
the Rédmond remark, has won comparable
recognition.
