Bi-weekly and Regular Student Payroll
Shirley Richardson <srichard@wlu.edu>
All Bi-weekly and Regular Student payroll time sheets must be in the
Business Office by NOON on Monday, Oct. 4th. Please take an extra
minute to read the top of the time sheet and make sure that you are
turning in the appropriate time sheet for your position. Last
payperiod I had many Students turning in regular bi-weekly time
sheets instead of the "Registered Student" time sheet. It is very
helpful if you turn in the correct time sheet. Also, please make
sure that there is an account number on your time sheet. If I need
to verify an account number and do not receive a quick response,
then your time sheet may have to wait until the next pay period.
And nobody wants that!!!!
Thank you for all your help in these matters.
Shirley Richardson
Payroll Coordinator

Homecoming Book Signings
Kenneth Schaefer <schaeferk@wlu.edu>
TOMORROW, two W&L alums return to sign recently published books!
Come to the Commons Living Room to meet the authors. Books will be
available for purchase and signing.
10am-noon, and 4-5 pm: John Fox (Class of '72)
His book RED CLAY TO RICHMOND is a complete Civil War history of a
Georgia regiment covering fighting in Lee's army of northern
Virginia from 1861-1865. It includes many previously unpublished
accounts and photographs that reveal the fighting and daily camp
struggles of more than 1,300 Georgians who served. Also included are
maps, photos, and soldiers roster.
1-3 pm: Tim Henry (Class of '66, and Class of '69 Law)
The newly published ROCKBRIDGE HERITAGE is a glossy, photographic
celebration of Washington and Lee University, VMI, and the historic
Lexington community. Certainly the most comprehensive visual book
dedicated to the subject.
---------- Notice #8 ---------- top
Fire Extinguisher Training
Paul Burns <pburns@wlu.edu>
Everyone is familiar with fire extinguishers--but could you
operate one if faced with a fire emergency? Many fires have been
extinguished in their initial stages, before any real harm was done,
by persons who were willing and able to use a fire extinguisher.
However, injuries as well as deaths have occurred to persons who
attempted to use a fire extinguisher and failed to use it properly.
It is for this reason that the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) standards require that if employees are
expected to use an extinguisher to put out fires, they must be
trained in the use of fire extinguishers.
National Fire Prevention Week is October 3-9, 2004. On Monday
and Wednesday of this week we will be conducting fire extinguisher
training. This training is open to all of the W & L Community:
facutly, staff and students. This training will last approximately
one hour and will be held in Northen Auditorium of Leyburn Library
at the following times:
Monday, Oct. 4, classes will start at 11:00 a.m., 12:00 noon,
1:00 p.m., and 2:00 p.m.
Wednesday, Oct. 6, classes will start at 11:00 a.m., 12:00 noon,
1:00 p.m., and 2:00 p.m.
Training will include: classes of fire; stages and growth of
fire; how to operate a fire extinguisher; deciding whether to fight
a fire or exacuate; and actual "hands-on" use of a fire
extinguisher.
If as an employee of W & L you would ever decide to use a fire
extinguisher, then it is required that you take this training. To
put it another way, if you have not had this trainig and a fire
starts, then you are to evacuate the building immediately and do not
attempt to us a fire extinguisher.
If you have previously had this training, it is not necessary
for you to go through it again, you can be provided with a flyer for
refresher training. If you need one of these refresher training
flyers, please contact me at pburns@wlu.edu

W&L Film Society
Richard Grefe <grefed@wlu.edu>
The Washington and Lee Film Society is pleased to present the
wildly original comedy THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE (France, 2003),
directed by Sylvain Chomet.
Screenings will be at 7:30 PM on Friday and Saturday, October 1
and 2, in the Elrod University Commons theater. There is no charge
for admission, although contributions are welcome. This film is in
French (sort of) and is 80 minutes in length. It has been rated "PG-
13" by the Motion Picture Association of America for "images
involving sensuality, violence and crude humor."
It has been a long time since the Film Society last presented an
animated feature, but there never has been a film quite like this
comic sensation. A simple plot summary gives little hint of its
audacious originality: When her grandson is kidnapped during the
Tour de France, Madame Souza and her beloved dog Bruno team up with
the Belleville Sisters -- an aged song-and-dance team from the days
of Fred Astaire -- to rescue him. Visually, the film is wildly
fascinating, while the audio consists of infectious music, nearly
incomprehensible dialogue, and strange noises.
Critic Roger Ebert said "The Triplets of Belleville will have you
walking out of the theater with a goofy damn grin on your face,
wondering what just happened to you. To call it weird would be a
cowardly evasion." In short, you must see it -- and hear it -- to
believe it.

SHENANDOAH Poem of the Week
Rodney Smith <rodsmith@wlu.edu>
SHENANDOAH Poem of the Week
Despite all the evidence of mechanistic and secular dominion,
Charles Wright continues to seek transcendence and the celestial
city, and his instrument of inquiry is, as always, deliberate
language.
LOST LANGUAGE by Charles Wright
October, and leaves fall down. One feels the world go by.
First frost. And a licking sound
Just under the earth,
great wheels, or a sluice of some sort.
Sunlight thin as Saran Wrap.
A licking sound, the suck and bump of something against something.
One lives one's life in the word,
One word and a syllable, word and one syllable.
As though ice and its amulets could rise and rest us.
Whatever it is we look for is scattered, apart.
I have a thirst for the divine,
a long drink of forbidden water.
I have a hankering for the dust-light, for all things illegible.
I want to settle myself
Where the river falls on hard rocks,
where no one can cross,
Where the star-shadowed, star-colored city lies, just out of reach.
*
From Wright's collection A SHORT HISTORY OF THE SHADOW (FSG, 2002).
Pultzer winner Wright's current collection is BUFFALO YOGA (FSG,
2004), and the spring issue of SHENANDOAH featuring Appalachian
Poets will offer three of his new poems. He teaches at U. VA.

Jon Stewart's America -- Book of the Week
Kenneth Schaefer <schaeferk@wlu.edu>
W&L Bookstore's Book of the Week is...
"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents: America (the book)"

textbook, with "Discussion Questions," "Classroom Activities," and
plenty of amusing graphics. A must for Jon Stewart fans.

- A guide to drinking games to play while watching C-SPAN
- Hilarious addendum voter guide to the 2004 election

Friday, October 8th, at 12 o'clock in the Law School Moot Courtroom,
Mr. Stephen Epstein, Director of the Standards of Conduct Office of
the General Counsel for the Department of Defense, will speak on
legal ethics. As a W&L alumni, he will also speak on how the Honor
System continues to influence his life and work. The Washington &
Lee undergraduate and law community is invited to attend the lecture
and reception to follow, brought to you by ATLA. Please find his
bio below. For general questions or media requests, please contact
Allison Jetton, ATLA Co-President, at jettona@wlu.edu.
BIO:
Steve Epstein is the Director of the Standards of Conduct Office of
the General Counsel for the Department of Defense. In that capacity
he assists the General Counsel as the ethics counselor for the
Secretary and other personnel attached to the office of the
Secretary of Defense, as well as the primary advisory for ethics
policy and regulations throughout the Department.
As Director of the Standards of Conduct Office, he has cognizance
over a variety of processes established to promote integrity in
governmental decision-making. These include preventing conflicts of
interest, regulating employment activities of Federal personnel
after they leave Federal service, overseeing disclosure of personal
financial interests by key personnel, regulating activities of
Departmental personnel in partisan political activities, overseeing
off-duty employment and activities, establishing proper limits for
use of title, authority, and resources of public office, ensuring
any gifts accepted by personnel comply with regulations, and other
regulatory matters that generally cause great personal angst and
heartburn.
In addition, Mr. Epstein is responsible for the general ethics
policies and regulations within the Department, advocating the
Department’s interests in the formulation of Government-wide
statutes and regulations, executing the Department's ethics training
program, assisting in the Senate confirmation of Presidential
Appointees, and overseeing the ethics program within the Department
of Defense.
Prior to joining the Department of Defense, Mr. Epstein served as an
assistant to the Navy's General Counsel, working in the office of
the Assistant General Counsel (Ethics). Previous to that, Mr.
Epstein enjoyed a career in the Navy as both a line officer and
judge advocate, serving aboard aircraft carriers and frigates, and
as legislative counsel in the Office of Legislative Affairs,
prosecutor and defense counsel (not at the same time) in felony and
misdemeanor trials, staff judge advocate at several naval
installations and commands, and the Navy’s foreign criminal
jurisdiction officer in Spain. In this last environment he
developed a keen appreciation for overseas living, international
negotiations, Spanish sherry, and the insides of foreign prisons.
Mr. Epstein was graduated from Washington and Lee University (B.A.),
University of Southern California (M.A.), and the University of
Texas School of Law. (J.D.) He is admitted to practice law in Texas
and the District of Columbia. He proudly points out that in the 20
years that he has been advising clients regarding conflicts of
interest, not one has been convicted of ethical violations or paid
civil penalties.

Instructional Technology Forum: Blogging
Peter Jetton <pjetton@wlu.edu>
Please join us for an Instructional Technology Forum on Blogging
WHEN:
Wednesday, October 13, 12:00 - 1:00 pm
WHERE:
Northen Auditorium, Leyburn Library
WHAT:
Hugh Blackmer, Science Librarian, and Ed Wasserman, Knight Chair in
Journalism Ethics, will present their insights and experiences using
this exciting new technology.
So what IS a blog? You might have heard this term recently in
connection with the Dan Rather-60 Minutes II/George W. Bush Air
Guard documents story, in which independent bloggers were first to
raise questions about the authenticity of the documents in question.
Basically, blog is a journal that is available on the web. The
activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a
blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using
software that allows people with little or no technical background
to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost
always arranged in chronological order with the most recent
additions featured most prominantly.
For more on how blogs are being used in higher education, please see
the following article from the October, 2004 Educause Review:

ucause.edu/pub/er/erm04/erm0450.asp
Lunch will be provided for attendees who register in advance. To

Students 4 Bush - Kerry/Democrats Want to Reinstate the Draft!
Anne Legendre Idsal <idsala@wlu.edu>
"Today (Tuesday) the House will vote on a Democratic bill to
reinstate the draft. President Bush and Republicans oppose a draft
and seek defeat of this bill. Sen. Kerry and Sen. Edwards wrongly
claim it is Republicans who support this, yet it is John Kerry who
said he may be open to a draft. Below is more information about this
bill, who sponsored it, what Sen. Kerry and Sen. Edwards are saying
as well as the truth about President Bush's position regarding it.
We need you to call talk radio shows and write letters to the
editor. Let people know that it is not Republicans who support this
bill, it is the Democrats.
President Bush Opposes Draft And Republicans Will Ensure Defeat Of
Bill, Kerry Open To Idea
JUST WHO IS PROPOSING A DRAFT?
Democrat Congressman Charles Rangel (D-NY) Introduced The "Universal
National Service Act Of 2003" To Reinstate Military Draft. "A BILL
To provide for the common defense by requiring that all young
persons in the United States, including women, perform a period of
military service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of
the national defense and homeland security, and for other
purposes." (H.R. 163, Introduced 1/7/03 By Rep. Charles Rangel)
Today, House Of Representatives Will Vote On Rangel's Proposal,
Which House Armed Services Chairman Duncan Hunter (R-CA) Vows Will
Receive "Very Little Congressional
Support." "Later today, the House of Representatives will debate and
vote on H.R. 163, the Universal National Service Act - commonly
known as the Reinstate the Draft Bill. There is very little
Congressional support for reinstating the draft." (House Armed
Services Committee, "House To Vote On And Reject Military Draft
Bill," Press Release, 10/5/04)
Democrat Senator Ernest Hollings (D-SC) Has Introduced Identical
Military Draft Legislation. "A BILL To provide for the common
defense by requiring that all young persons in the United States,
including women, perform a period of military service or a period of
civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and
homeland security, and for other purposes." (S. 89, Introduced
1/7/03 By Sen. Ernest Hollings)
KERRY AND EDWARDS CLAIM IT'S REPUBLICANS WHO WANT DRAFT, BUT KERRY
IS OPEN TO DRAFT
Kerry Raised Possibility Draft Is Returning Under Bush. "Democratic
presidential candidate John Kerry, citing the war in Iraq and other
trouble spots in the world, raised the possibility Wednesday that a
military draft could be reinstated if voters re-elect President
Bush. ... Answering a question about the draft that had been posed
at a forum with voters, Kerry said: "If George Bush were to be re-
elected, given the way he has gone about this war and given his
avoidance of responsibility in North Korea and Iran and other
places, is it possible? I can't tell you.'" (Mary Dalrymple, "Kerry
Raises Possibility That Military Draft Could Return If Bush Is Re-
Elected," The Associated Press, 9/22/04)
Edwards Hinted Draft Would Return Under President Bush. "Edwards
drew his biggest applause from the audience, which was heavy on
union members and laid-off workers, when he responded to a question
from a woman who said that her 23-year-old son recently graduated
from college, and that she is worried about a draft being instituted
for the war in Iraq. "There will be no draft when John Kerry is
president,' Edwards said, to applause and a standing ovation." (Jim
VandeHei, "Kerry Accuses Bush Of Dishonesty On Iraq," The
Washington Post, 9/16/04)
Yet Kerry Told Reporter That If Large Mobilization Is Needed, Draft
Is "Only Fair Way To Do It." REPORTER: "Senator, some in your party
have called for reinstating the draft. Do you think that is a good
idea?" KERRY: "Not at this moment. I don't. If we had a need
for a general mobilization at some time in the future, then I think
that's the only fair way to do it." (WLVI's "Keller At Large,"
Interview Taped 12/2/03, Aired 9/26/04)
ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN CLEAR: PRESIDENT BUSH OPPOSES DRAFT
Secretary Rumsfeld Called Allegations "Absolute Nonsense." "Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld heatedly denied yesterday that the
military plans to bring back the draft and boost reserves and
National Guard callups after the November election. "That is
absolute nonsense,' Rumsfeld told the Senate Armed Services
Committee. "It's absolutely false that anyone in this administration
is considering reinstituting the draft.'" (Richard Sisk, "No
Draft, No Extra Troops - Rummy," [New York] Daily News, 9/24/04)
Vice President Cheney Said Rumors Were "Hogwash." "And the notion
that somebody's peddling out there that there is a secret plan to
reinstitute the draft, hogwash, not true." (NBC's "Nightly News,"
9/29/04)
President Bush: "We Don't Need The Draft." "No, we're not going - we
don't need the draft. Look, the all-volunteer Army is working. ... I
know Senator McCain and I agree on this issue for certain, the all-
volunteer Army works." (President George W. Bush, Remarks At
Okaloosa-Walton College, Niceville, FL, 8/10/04)"

The campaign heats up
John Stuckey <jstuckey@wlu.edu>
In this last month before the Presidential election, passions are
likely to be running high. Several people have asked me to remind
users that while Campus Notices is perfect for announcing rallies,
meetings, and other events, it's really not intended as a vehicle
for campaign expression per se. To avoid a potentially space-
consuming exchange of competing views, please notice the following
excerpt from the About Campus Notices:
Q: What's not appropriate?
A: Opinions. Political campaigning except for student
elections as regulated by the Executive Committee.

W&L Film Society
Richard Grefe <grefed@wlu.edu>
The Washington and Lee Film Society is pleased to present the
bittersweet drama IN AMERICA (Ireland, 2003), directed by Jim
Sheridan.
Screenings will be at 7:30 PM on Friday and Saturday, October 8
and 9, in the Elrod University Commons theater. There is no charge
for admission, although contributions are welcome. This film is in
English and is 107 minutes in length. It has been rated "PG-13" by
the Motion Picture Association of America for "some sexuality, drug
references, brief violence and language, and emotional thematic
material."
Irish filmmaker Jim Sheridan is reputed to have explained his
approach to IN AMERICA by saying "When you have a holy thing
happenin', you don't mess with it" and audiences respond strongly to
the magic of this autobiographical tribute to the strength of
family. Based upon Sheridan’s own experience as an emigrant to New
York over 20 years ago, the film is transcendent, awkward, painful,
and joyous; critic David Edelstein has described it as a "fairy tale
astride an abyss."
Sheridan and his two daughters collaborated on the script "and
that's one of the things that makes In America so special: that it
has several distinct points of view and no center of gravity… The
movie is an odd weave -- loosely plotted, but with one gorgeously
sustained sequence after another." The superb cast features Samantha
Morton, Djimon Hounsou (Oscar nomination), and the unforgettable
Bolger sisters.

Russian Film
Jacque Bruce <brucej@wlu.edu>
Thursday October 7, 7 p.m. Room 221, Huntley Hall (Williams School
of Commerce) Russian film (with subtitles) "The Cranes Are Flying."
Director: Mikhail Kalatozov. Script: Viktor Rozov. 94 minutes.
Winner of Golden Palm Award at Cannes in 1958.
A Moscow family's tragedy during WWII mirrors Russian society's
tragedy amid total war. The visually inventive long tracking
cinematography (presaging "I, Cuba" and "Russian Ark"), a fast-paced
narrative style, and superb acting all combine to emotionally
involve the viewer. Bring more than one handkerchief. Discussion and
refreshments follow this classic film.

Journalist and author Robert Kaplan, who has been called one of the

Kaplan accompanied the first unit of Marines to assault Fallujah in
Iraq after the murder and mutilation last April of four American
civilians.

numerous books on international affairs including Balkan Ghosts, The
Coming Anarchy, Eastward to Tartary and Warrior Politics, all of
which address tensions between the developing and the developed
worlds.

visiting classes and meeting with students and faculty from
Washington and Lee and VMI.
Kaplan’s visit is sponsored by The NASDAQ/SunTrust Program in
International Finance and Commerce and the Fishback Program for

Ancient Greek Tragedy
Thomas Hawkins <hawkinst@wlu.edu>
Euripides' "Bacchae", a Greek tragedy from the end of the 5th
century BCE, will be performed this TODAY, Saturday and Sunday
(Oct. 8, 9, 10) at Randolph Macon Women's College in Lynchburg. All
shows start at 3:00 PM and are FREE.
The play tells the mythical story of a yound king's first encounter
with the god Dionysus. Something of an early psychodrama, "Bacchae"
explores the tensions (in society and in ourselves) between rational
self-control and exstatic enthusiasm. Anyone who enjoyed Donna
Tartt's "The Secret History" will not want to miss this opportunity.
For more information about the play, directions, etc., please visit

SHENANDOAH Poem of the Week
Rodney Smith <rodsmith@wlu.edu>
SHENANDOAH Poem of the Week
In her poem "Brown" Rita Dove recounts an episode of
difference. Although the woman whose inadvertant affront is "only
trying to earn a living," the narrator detects the quiet erasure
strategy and recalls the tale of Sambo and the tigers whirling. The
narrator's confidence, however, is not shaken, her self-esteem not
challanged, her enthusiasm for dance and her own image not damaged.
She is fully aware of the charged nature of "polite space" and how
her presence alters such scenes. The restraint she shows
("politely") with the gown woman finds edgy expression in her
description of Waltzes, and her final sentence punctuates her
entrance, triumphal to be sure, with an exclamation mark.
Brown by Rita Dove
"Why you look good in every color!"
the dress lady gurgled, just before
I stepped onto the parquet
for a waltz. I demurred;
we were in a country club,
after all, and she -- fresh
from Fort Lauderdale (do people
actually live there?) with five
duffle bags'worth of ball gowns,
enough tulle and fringe and pearls
to float a small cotillion --
was only trying to earn a living.
For once I was not the only
black person in the room
(two others, both male).
I thought of Sambo; I thought
a few other things, too,
unmentionable here. Don't
get me wrong: I've always loved
my skin, the way it glows against
citron and fuchsia, the difficult hues,
but the difference I cause
whenever I walk into a polite space
is why I prefer grand entrances --
especially with a Waltz,
that European constipated
swoon.
The dress in question was red.
*
Rita Dove, a former Poet Laureate of the United States, is currently
Poet Laureate of the Commonwealth of Virginia. She has received
many awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, and teaches at the
University of Virginia. "Brown" is from her new book AMERICAN
SMOOTH, recently published by W. W. Norton.

Instructional Technology Forum: Blogging
Peter Jetton <pjetton@wlu.edu>
Please join us for an Instructional Technology Forum on Blogging
WHEN:
Wednesday, October 13, 12:00 - 1:00 pm
WHERE:
Northen Auditorium, Leyburn Library
WHAT:
Hugh Blackmer, Science Librarian, and Ed Wasserman, Knight Chair in
Journalism Ethics, will present their insights and experiences using
this exciting new technology.
So what IS a blog? You might have heard this term recently in
connection with the Dan Rather-60 Minutes II/George W. Bush Air
Guard documents story, in which independent bloggers were first to
raise questions about the authenticity of the documents in question.
Basically, blog is a journal that is available on the web. The
activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a
blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using
software that allows people with little or no technical background
to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost
always arranged in chronological order with the most recent
additions featured most prominantly.
For more on how blogs are being used in higher education, please see
the following article from the October, 2004 Educause Review:
http://www.ed
ucause.edu/pub/er/erm04/erm0450.asp
Lunch will be provided for attendees who register in advance. To

Older mower has not been used for a long time. It has a Briggs and

it. We stopped using it because the chassis is pretty worn out.
Newer mower probably has not been used more than a dozen times. It
has a Tecumseh engine, and has been hard to start since day one. I

Upcoming Network Maintenance
Lisa Dunlap <ldunlap@wlu.edu>
University Computing will be performing maintenance on various
portions of the campus network and our Internet connection this
Thursday and Friday evenings between 8:00 P.M. and midnight both
nights. Software upgrades to major campus network switches and a
reconfiguration of our main Internet connection will result in a
number of short interruptions, each lasting only a couple of
minutes. Users may continue to work through these periods (and the
interruptions) with the understanding that a given resource may be
unavailable for short intervals.
In addition, the network equipment serving Tucker Hall (except
servers and the TMC) will be upgraded starting Saturday morning at
8:00 A.M. This will take most of the morning and will result in the
loss of network access for all offices in Tucker Hall for the
duration of the work. Other campus areas will be unaffected.

In a final attempt to rescue animals and find warm cozy homes for

near our house that will soon be taken to the SPCA. These seven
week old kittens are tan and white and ready for love.
We also hope to rescue two neutered male grey cats, 2 years old,
always together and playful, great with kids and they are
good "mousers".
Also one fully black, stump tail, cat one year old, begging to be
adopted.
Twin "tuxedo cats", (black and white) 7 months old. Wonderful and
playful.
If you want to provide a good home for these animals, we would be
MOST appreciative. Please e-mail Todd Goetz at goetzt@wlu.edu
Thank you for your consideration.

Film Society screenings will be at 7:30 PM on Friday and

theater. There is no charge for admission, although contributions

Additional screenings will be on Monday, October 18, at 9:30 PM
and Tuesday, October 19, at 7:00 PM.
This film is in English and is rated "R" by the MPAA for "some
violent and disturbing images, and for language. Ďt is 122 minutes
in length.
Gadfly Moore’s latest controversial work is not a "fair and
balanced" treatment of America’s political leadership in the wake of
the 9/11 terrorist attack, nor is it designed to be. In the words
of the New York Times, "Mr. Moore is often impolite, rarely subtle
and occasionally unwise. He can be obnoxious, tendentious and
maddeningly self-contradictory. He can drive even his most ardent
admirers crazy. He is a credit to the republic."

SHENANDOAH Poem of the Week
Rodney Smith <rodsmith@wlu.edu>
SHENANDOAH Poem of the Week
This week's poem describes a pastoral tableau -- orchard, wasps,
hungry doe finding ecstasy in the apples until she virtually dances
for them, but this graceful act is not without witness, as she
turns "in the crosshairs" of a lethal attention, and the reader is
welcomed to the drama Delmore Schwartz described as "the scrimmage
of appetite everywhere."
In the Abandoned Orchard by Robert Wrigley
Name them apples, those shoe-stiff sags,
dangling, freckled by doors, the open ports
of pomace-drunk fruit wasps six weeks ago dead.
Furtive at first, the doe arrives, examining shadows,
nosing the lumpen ground for infirm
fly-blown halves, ecstatically mouthing.
She leaps and rises, lightly, so lightly
it cannot be believed she does not fly
but turns and turns beneath a bland, inconsequential sky.
The last fruit dangles and she hangs by desire beneath it,
in the crosshairs turning -- her slender knees,
from the ground where she walks in a broth of muddy hearts.
*
Robert Wrigley lives in Idaho and was the final judge for this
year's Glasgow Prize for Emerging Writers, presented by W & L's
Glasgow Endowment. The above poem is from his new book LIVES OF THE
ANIMALS (Penguin, 2004).

Avery Flinn Gholston <gholstona@wlu.edu>
I am working closely with Heather Owens (owner of Positive Image
Spa), Nabors Service League, and WLSO (Women's Law Student
Organization) to organize a fashion show to promote local and
student awareness of violence and abuse. The fashion show is
scheduled for March 5th. The event is called BRAVE - Beauty Revue
Against Violent Encounters. The idea is to celebrate survivors of
abuse by providing them with a day of beauty - helping them to
identify their beauty within - as well as raise money for local
organizations (from Rockbridge County to Allegheny) that support
abuse victims. Money will be raised during a Beauty-A-Thon the day
of March 5th where hair stylists, cosmetologists, and aestheticians
from surrounding areas will cut hair, give massages, mini-pedicures,
brow waxings, etc. for free - though a donation for each service
will be suggested. The evening of the 5th, students will model in a
fashion show as well as attend the black-tie affair. Clothing will
be donated from boutiques in Lexington (Pumpkinseeds, Papagallos,
Intimate U), Staunton (Khaky and P), and Charlottesville (there are
tons!). In between fashion scenes, local survivors will speak about
their experience making short empowering statements, reading poems,
or whatever helps them express their fight against violence. There
will be a charge for the fashion show which will also be open to the
general public and will include a cocktail hour with appetizers and
a band. All money will be donated. Clearly, awareness is as much a
goal of this event as is money.
Sooooo...there are many different ways people can get involved -
from helping coordinate the main events to heading up a sub-
committee (Publicity, Clothing Selection, Model Organization, Crew,
etc.). Let me know if you are interested as we get the ball
rolling. Our first meeting will be Wednesday, October 20th at 7 pm
in Commons 214. I hope many of you will make time to come to this
preliminary meeting to learn how and to what extent you want to be
involved.

W&L's Ultimate Team Returns from NC State
Timothy Smith <smithtt@wlu.edu>
Two Dead Guys, W&L's Ultimate club team, competed in one of the
premiere fall collegiate tournaments, the Wolfpack Invitational @ NC
State in Raleigh, over Reading Days. Representing our school of
only 2000 students, TDG was one of 16 participating teams, including
elite college teams like Indiana, Florida, and UVA.
W&L's first opponent was Darkside of UNC-Chapel Hill, last year's #7
college team in the country (out of more than 300 teams). The
outlook was bleak. But amazingly, W&L surprised and almost upset
one of the nation's best teams, running stride-for-stride with UNC
until the Darkside finally pulled away for a 13 to 9 win. Drained
from the opener, Two Dead Guys lost their next two contests to
Florida State & UNC-Wilmington, but the W&L team was competitive in
both matches.
Finally, Two Dead Guys tasted victory against the B team from Duke,
winning 13 to 4 thanks to a stifling zone defense. W&L's team
stalled against a talented team from JMU, but then chalked up
another win against the B team from NC State, the host team, with a
13 to 7 tally. The W&L team finished 13th out of 16 teams, not bad
for a new team against SEC & ACC powerhouses that had us outmanned
and overmatched.
MVP honors go to Justin Shane, '06L, who's sticky defense and
consistency on offense helped keep us competitive in every game.
Way to go, J-Shay!!
Two Dead Guys continues to look for new recruits to help our team
represent W&L against the biggest and best schools in the country.
Whether you've played Ultimate before or not, we'd love to have you
on the team -- girls and guys, undergrad or law, anyone is welcome
to play!!! If interested, contact Tim Smith at smithtt@wlu.edu

Courtroom for a presentation of Going Upriver: The Long War of John
Kerry. Directed by the acclaimed film-maker behind Pumping Iron,
this documentary offers a glimpse at the important events that have
shaped John Kerry's life.
This film is not another Bush-bashing documentary. Filming
commenced in 2002, long before Kerry was the Democratic Presidential
nominee and W.’s name does not come up at all in the film. Instead
it is the story of a man who, like many of his generation, heeded
President Kennedy’s call to “ask not what your country can do for
you, but what you can do for your country."
The director, George Butler, may be on-hand for a Q&A session after
the film. For more information, please contact Gus Centrone at
centroneg@wlu.edu.

Orienteering Event -- Sun. Oct. 24
Wythe Whiting <whitingw@wlu.edu>
Orienteering is a fun way to get out in the woods and enjoy hiking and navigating with a
map and compass. The Outing Club will be sponsoring an Orienteering event Sunday, Oct.
24 at 12:00 at the Brushy Hills Preserve. We will meet at the trailhead (adjacent to the
spring house). There will be a short informational session at 12:00 explaining the general
principles of orienteering and use of topo maps -- beginners are most welcome. The
event itself will start around 12:30. If you think you may come, please email me at
whitingw@wlu.edu so I can get an idea of how many maps to print.
Here's how it works:
-- You're given a map at the trailhead (check-in station). This map is a highly detailed
topographical map (ours will have twice the resolution of the standard USGS maps for this
area).
-- The map will contain the standard features such as water, trails, topography, etc. The
map will also identify Control Points scattered about the map (these are identified by a
circle) in various locations.
-- At each control point in the woods, there is a flag and a button punch.
-- It is your job to find all (ideally) control points, punch your card showing you have
actually found each control point, and come back to the check-in location in one piece.
-- It is a bit like a scavenger hunt.
-- You can either view it as a race or a leisurely walk in the woods -- either way it is good
fun.
A map, compass, and whistle will be provided, but bring your own if you have them.
Bring plenty of water for a 1 - 2 hour hike (more water if you plan on running).
If you have any questions, email Wythe Whiting at whitingw@wlu.edu.

Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry
Gus Michael Centrone <centroneg@wlu.edu>
Sunday the 24th at 5:00p.m., please join us in the Moot Courtroom
for a presentation of Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry.
Directed by the acclaimed film-maker behind Pumping Iron, this
documentary offers a glimpse at the important events that helped
shape John Kerry.
This film is not another Bush-bashing documentary. Filming
commenced long before Kerry was the Democratic Presidential nominee
and W.s name does not come up at all in the film. Instead it is the
story of a man who, like many of his generation, heeded President
Kennedys call to ask not what your country can do for you, but what
you can do for your country.
Professor Donahue will introduce the film and the director, George
Butler, may be on-hand for a Q&A session after the film. For more
information, please contact Gus Centrone at centroneg@wlu.edu.

for admission, although contributions are welcome.
This film is in Pashtu, with subtitles, and is rated "PG-13" by
the MPAA for "mature thematic elements." It is 83 minutes in length.
Winner of the Golden Globe for best foreign-language film, OSAMA
tells a harrowing story of life in Afghanistan under the Taliban. A
woman who has lost her husband disguises her 12-year-old daughter as
a boy so that she can work for the family. Now called "Osama," the
girl embarks on a terrifying journey as she tries to keep her
identity a secret.
A.O. Scott wrote in the New York Times that "OSAMA is a
meticulous and beautifully made inquiry into the ways that
ideological evil can infect, and ultimately destroy, the intimacies
and small pleasures of daily life."

W&L Film Society
Richard Grefe <grefed@wlu.edu>
The Washington and Lee Film Society is very pleased to present
the powerful drama OSAMA (Afghanistan, 2003), directed by Siddiq
Barmak.
Screenings will be at 7:30 PM on Friday and Saturday, October 22
and 23, in the Elrod University Commons theater. There is no charge
for admission, although contributions are welcome.
This film is in Pashtu, with subtitles, and is rated "PG-13" by
the MPAA for "mature thematic elements." It is 83 minutes in length.
Winner of the Golden Globe for best foreign-language film, OSAMA
tells a harrowing story of life in Afghanistan under the Taliban. A
woman who has lost her husband disguises her 12-year-old daughter as
a boy so that she can work for the family. Now called "Osama," the
girl embarks on a terrifying journey as she tries to keep her
identity a secret.
A.O. Scott wrote in the New York Times that "OSAMA is a
meticulous and beautifully made inquiry into the ways that
ideological evil can infect, and ultimately destroy, the intimacies
and small pleasures of daily life."

Sage Green Sleeper Sofa for Sale $300 O.B.O.
After months of waiting for the arrival of a slow boat from the
(other) continent, I suddenly am expecting delivery of a new sofa.
Suddenly as in "tomorrow." While I could stack it on top of my
current sofa, it would make sitting on it a little dicey. Thus: I
am looking for a quick sale of a 5 year old sage green sleeper
sofa. It is in good condition, and believe it or not everyone who
has slept on it says it is comfortable to sleep on. It is made by
Ashley, and Grand Home Furnishings sells this sleeper version for
$700. -- I'm just asking $300. or the best offer. You "carry."
For a picture of it, go to www.grandhomefurnishings.com and click on
popular products. It is the sofa featured in the (non-clickable)
oval at the top right of the page. If interested, call 462-3786 or

"Flowers in the Desert"
Jennifer Ashworth <ashworthj@wlu.edu>
Women Searching for the "Disappeared" of Calama chile.
Join us for a slide/lecture presentation by human rights
photographer, Paula Allen. 7:30 this evening, Northen Auditorium.
The story of the Women of Calama begins in the north of Chile in the
center of the Atacama Desert. One month after the September 11,
1973 coup against the democratically elected government of Salvadore
Allende, five soldiers boarded a military helicopter and began a
journey which became known as the Caravan of Death. The soldiers
travelled to four northern cities where they murdered a total of 72
people suspected of "subversive" activities. On October 19, 1973,
the Caravan made its final stop in the town of Calama where 26 men
were executed, their bodies buried in a secret grave. Only 13
bodies [fragments of bones] have been found - and of those only 3
identified. As of today, the women continue to look for their men
who ar still "missing" and to persevere in their demands to know the
full truth and bring to justice those responsible.
Isabel Allende says, "In the hallucinatory photographs of Paula
Allen, the lunar landscape of northern Chile's desert stretches
toward the horizon like a sea of grief. The arid land is the
perfect metaphor for the unremitting pain of the women of the
disappeared. Their suffering is that vast, that terrible. The tiny
figures of the women with shovels in their hands, scouring that
plain baked by a brutal climate, are in thses photographs converted
into eternal symbols."
7:30 this evening, Northen Auditorium in Leyburn Library

CHUCHELO [SCARECROW]
7.00pm Thursday 28 October 221 Williams
In Russian with English subtitles
Refreshments and discussion follow film
Contact: Greta McCaughrin, x8826 mccaughring@wlu.edu
Sponsor: German/Russian Department
Starkly reminiscent of William Golding's LORD OF THE FLIES and
Wlliam Nolan's LOGAN'S RUN, Rolan Bykov's 1983 film CHUCHELO
follows Soviet writer Vladimir Zheleznkikov's startlingly frank
critique of the communist dystopia - where oppression, boredom or
misery have self-exiled almost all adults, leaving the state
apparatus entirely to pre-teens. Each youngster plays a familiar
revolutionary role mirroring both the French and Russian
revolutions. Bykov continually goads the viewer to question the
prudence of political change, from Russia in 1917 to Iraq in 2004.
Russian cinema at its best. Public invited.

W&L Film Society
Richard Grefe <grefed@wlu.edu>
The Washington and Lee Film Society is very pleased to present
the cult favorite DONNIE DARKO (USA, 2003), directed by Richard
Kelly.
Screenings will be at 7:30 PM on Friday and Saturday, October 29
and 30, in the Elrod University Commons theater. There is no charge
for admission, although contributions are welcome.
This film is in English and is rated "R" by the MPAA
for "language, some drug use and violence." It is 113 minutes in
length.
For Halloween, the Film Society presents one of the eeriest and
most ambitious American independent films of recent years -- an
eclectic amalgam of science fiction, horror, and teen movie. Critic
David Edelstein called it a genre-bending combination of John
Hughes, Stephen King, Philip K. Dick, and Catcher in the Rye.
Donnie, a troubled but intelligent teenager (Jake Gyllenhaal), is
menaced by a 6-foot rabbit, who encourages him to commit violent
acts. Politics, high school angst, family, time-travel, and the
meaning of God all become part of the mix.
As another critic wrote, this "movie, in a sense, becomes your
new imaginary friend for life."

Planning Publication Projects
Mary Woodson <mwoodson@wlu.edu>
Due to the large volume of work coming into the Publications Office (over
1,100 items a year), we ask your help in planning your project. Please note
the following:
• Most publications require at least FOUR weeks for completion. In other
words, allow at least two weeks for design and two weeks for printing. Check
your publication deadline and count back at least four weeks.
• Publication requests will not be accepted until ALL text and photos are
provided by the requesting department. (The text and photos may be provided
electronically via e-mail to clawson@wlu.edu, CD or server area.)
• In order to meet your deadline, proofs must be returned promptly.
• Projects that only require outputting to film or FTP site will require one week.
• Requests for copies of archived digital photos require one week.
Using these time guidelines will make your publication requests go much
smoother. Thank you.

W&L Film Society
Richard Grefe <grefed@wlu.edu>
The Washington and Lee Film Society is very pleased to present
the fascinating cult favorite DONNIE DARKO (USA, 2003), directed by
Richard Kelly.
Screenings will be at 7:30 PM on Friday and Saturday, October 29
and 30, in the Elrod University Commons theater. There is no charge
for admission, although contributions are welcome.
This film is in English and is rated "R" by the MPAA
for "language, some drug use and violence." It is 113 minutes in
length.
For Halloween, the Film Society presents one of the eeriest and
most ambitious American independent films of recent years -- an
eclectic amalgam of science fiction, horror, and teen movie. Critic
David Edelstein called it a genre-bending combination of John
Hughes, Stephen King, Philip K. Dick, and Catcher in the Rye.
Donnie, a troubled but intelligent teenager (Jake Gyllenhaal), is
menaced by a 6-foot rabbit, who encourages him to commit violent
acts. Politics, high school angst, family, time-travel, and the
meaning of God all become part of the mix.
As another critic wrote, this "movie, in a sense, becomes your
new imaginary friend for life."

MODEL UNITED NATIONS . . . . . . . . . . .TUESDAY @ 7:00 ! ! ! !
Matthew Robert Godfrey <godfreym@wlu.edu>
W&L Model United Nations will meet Tuesday at 7:00 in Elrod Commons
345 (the 3rd floor meeting room overlooking the Cafe '77 patio). We
will serve light refreshments and encourage the entire university
community to come take a break from watching the election. See the
topic below.
For more information please contact Matt Godfrey, godfreym@wlu.edu
Topic:
>We will discuss the International Criminal Court (while not the
>hottest issue in the US now, it is fairly famous, controversial,
>and has much long-term significance).
> The International Criminal Court is an independent international
>organization. It's purpose is to put on trial the war criminals
>that the courts in their own nations cannot or do not want to
>prosecute. When established in 1998 in Rome, 120 national
>delegations wanted for it and 7 against it- the United States,
>China, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Qatar, and Yemen. The US position can
>be well summarized by the following: "[the idea underlying the
>court] presupposed the possibility of consensus... on how and when
>principles should be applied...It assumes that norms of right
>behavior can substitute for national capabilities... It neglects
>political prudence... it consistently slights the value of, and
>need for, domestic accountability." (Center on Democracy,
>Development, and the Rule of Law, Stanford Institute for
>International Studies).
>
>Questions to be discussed at the meeting:
>1. What is the possibility of the decisions actually being
>enforced?
>2. Will the court actually perform its function or develop into a
>way to punish whatever nation doesn't agree to "global consensus"?
>3. What should be the long-term US position on the issue? (See the
>CNN.com article and the heritage.com articles)
>4. How can war crimes be punished without such a court?
