Symposium
Wendy Rice <ricew@wlu.edu>
The Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice and the Francis Lewis
Law Center is proud to present our 2009 Symposium: Violence on
Campus: Students Who are a Danger to Self or Others and Appropriate
Institutional Responses on November 6th, 2009 from 8:30am to 3:00pm.
Violence on college campuses, whether in the form of student suicide
or a student endangering the lives of others, is an all too common
phenomenon. In the wake of these tragedies, institutions of higher
education come under intense scrutiny for both their preparedness
and their responses to such incidents.
Our symposium will explore what the fields of psychology, medical
science, and law can teach us about these tragedies and will attempt
to gauge a consensus on appropriate institutional responses. The
morning will lead off with Gary Pavela, author of Questions and
Answers on College Student Suicide: A Law and Policy Perspective.
Ensuing discussion will concentrate on students who are a danger to
themselves and examine interventions that campus personnel might
make to identify at-risk students and help them before disaster
strikes. The afternoon session will be keynoted by Lucinda Roy,
Seung-Hui Cho's English tutor at Virginia Tech and author of No
Right to Remain Silent. The following panel will focus on students
who pose a threat to others and the steps that institutions of
higher education should take to ensure their students' safety.
The Symposium will be held Friday, November 6th at Washington and
Lee School of Law in Lexington, Virginia. The event will take place
in the Millhiser Moot Court Room from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Lunch will
be provided at 11:45pm. The Symposium is free and open to the public.

Flournoy Playwright Festival: Staged Reading of "Scarcity"

Join Killeen King '12, Cody Beauchamp '10, Jeni Prichett '12, Kevin
Mannering '10, Linnea Bond '11, Keaton Fletcher '13 and Catherine
Carlock '10 in a Staged Reading of "Scarcity" on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 3
p.m. There is a Talkback with Lucy Thurber immediately following the
reading. "Scarcity" contains adult content and themes, and is not
suitable for children. No tickets are required.
The Reading of Thurber's "Scarcity," directed by Rob Mish '76, focuses
on a small, isolated town in Western Massachusetts. The Lawrence
family struggles with poverty, boredom and lost potential. Into their
lives comes Ellen, a highly educated, wealthy and well-traveled young
woman who wants to give back to her country through education. She
teaches in the public school system where Billy and Rachel Lawrence
go, and she develops an obsession with Billy's intelligence, insight
and potential. Her obsession and desire to lift Billy out of poverty
tears the family apart. Director Mish says, "This play brings a
relevance to the W&L and the Rockbridge county communities as it could
easily take place right here. If we would simply open our eyes and
ears we might notice some things that could happen in our own back yards."

Leadership on the Line
William Datz <bdatz@wlu.edu>
The leadership seminar series continues tomorrow, Nov 3, at both
12:15 and 6:30 PM in Room 214 of Elrod Commons. This session is
based on the recent book by Ron Heiftez & Marty Levin.
To lead is to live dangerously; for all its passion and promise, its
excitement and rewards, leading can be risky and dangerous work.
Why? Because real leadership - the kind that surfaces conflict,
challenges long-held beliefs and demands new ways of doing things -
causes pain... and when people feel threatened, they take aim at the
persons pushing for change. This approach to adaptive leadership
provides a survival strategy for putting ourselves on the line,
responding effectively to risks, and living to celebrate our efforts.

Verizon Wireless equipment for sale
Graham Spice <spicecg@wlu.edu>
Do you live in the county and don't have any hi-speed internet
available? I recently moved and have a nice Verizon WIFI setup for
sale that solves this problem.
The great part of this setup is the WIFI router that sends the
hi-speed signal all around your house: Cradlepoint CTR500. The CTR500
is a small device that can be placed anywhere and accepts the USB
modem that I purchased from Verizon called the USB720. Together they
will blanket any area with hi-speed internet access.
Verizon coverage is great in this area with many spots having EVDO
coverage, the fastest connection on their network. Want to setup a
mobile WIFI hotspot anywhere? No problem, this does it.
More info on the Cradlepoint CTR500 router:

Violence on Campus Symposium
Wendy Rice <ricew@wlu.edu>
The Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice and the Frances Lewis
Law Center is proud to present our 2009 Symposium: Violence on
Campus: Students Who are a Danger to Self or Others and Appropriate
Institutional Responses on November 6th, 2009 from 8:30am to 3:00pm.
Violence on college campuses, whether in the form of student suicide
or a student endangering the lives of others, is an all too common
phenomenon. In the wake of these tragedies, institutions of higher
education come under intense scrutiny for both their preparedness
and their responses to such incidents.
Our symposium will explore what the fields of psychology, medical
science, and law can teach us about these tragedies and will attempt
to gauge a consensus on appropriate institutional responses. The
morning will lead off with Gary Pavela, author of Questions and
Answers on College Student Suicide: A Law and Policy Perspective.
Ensuing discussion will concentrate on students who are a danger to
themselves and examine interventions that campus personnel might
make to identify at-risk students and help them before disaster
strikes. The afternoon session will be keynoted by Lucinda Roy,
Seung-Hui Cho's English tutor at Virginia Tech and author of No
Right to Remain Silent. The following panel will focus on students
who pose a threat to others and the steps that institutions of
higher education should take to ensure their students' safety.
The Symposium will be held Friday, November 6th at Washington and
Lee School of Law in Lexington, Virginia. The event will take place
in the Millhiser Moot Court Room from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Lunch will
be provided at 11:45pm. The Symposium is free and open to the public.

Join Killeen King '12, Cody Beauchamp '10, Jeni Prichett '12, Kevin
Mannering '10, Linnea Bond '11, Keaton Fletcher '13 and Catherine
Carlock '10 in a Staged Reading of "Scarcity" on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 3
p.m. There is a Talkback with Lucy Thurber immediately following the
reading. "Scarcity" contains adult content and themes, and is not
suitable for children. No tickets are required.
The Reading of Thurber's "Scarcity," directed by Rob Mish '76, focuses
on a small, isolated town in Western Massachusetts. The Lawrence
family struggles with poverty, boredom and lost potential. Into their
lives comes Ellen, a highly educated, wealthy and well-traveled young
woman who wants to give back to her country through education. She
teaches in the public school system where Billy and Rachel Lawrence
go, and she develops an obsession with Billy's intelligence, insight
and potential. Her obsession and desire to lift Billy out of poverty
tears the family apart. Director Mish says, "This play brings a
relevance to the W&L and the Rockbridge county communities as it could
easily take place right here. If we would simply open our eyes and
ears we might notice some things that could happen in our own back yards."

Leadership on the Line
William Datz <bdatz@wlu.edu>
Today, Nov 3, at both 12:15 and 6:30 PM in Room 214 of Elrod
Commons, the leadership seminar series continues. This session will
focus on the recent book by Ron Heiftez & Marty Levin, "Leadership
On The Line".
To lead is to live dangerously; for all its passion and promise, its
excitement and rewards, leading can be risky and dangerous work.
Why? Because real leadership - the kind that surfaces conflict,
challenges long-held beliefs and demands new ways of doing things -
causes pain... and when people feel threatened, they take aim at the
persons pushing for change. This approach to adaptive leadership
provides a survival strategy for putting ourselves on the line,
responding effectively to risks, and living to celebrate our efforts.
Please feel free to bring your lunch or dinner. Questions? Please

EC Meeting Minutes Oct. 27
William Bruce Larson Jr. <larson.w@law.wlu.edu
>
Minutes from the October 27, 2009 Executive Committee Meeting
1. President Eric Hoffman called the meeting to order at 7:00pm.
2. The EC met with the SFHB ad hoc Review Committee to discuss ways to
improve the SFHB.
3. Hoffman adjourned the meeting into closed session at 7:01pm.
4. Hoffman reopened the meeting at 8:25pm.
5. Hoffman informed the EC of his discussion with Dean Dodson earlier
this week regarding making procedural improvements to the University
Board of Appeals. They discussed ways to engage current UBA members
in the process to clarify their current procedures. The EC also
discussed preparing a written proposal for reforms and suggested
changes to the UBA. This will be an ongoing process over the next few
months.
6. IFC President Garrott McClintock came to discuss ways to improve
the SFHB. McClintock spoke in his individual capacity and made clear
that his views did not necessarily represent those of every fraternity.
7. Hoffman adjourned the meeting into closed session at 8:38pm.
8. Hoffman reopened the meeting at 8:56pm.
9. Hoffman discussed logistics for the Reasonableness Project, an
information-gathering project to solicit accounts from students about
their interactions with local police. The goal of the project is to
present a comprehensive report of these accounts to city and county
leadership so that any problem areas regarding police reasonableness
can be addressed. Hoffman informed the EC that he will present
further logistics details, such as questions to be asked and ways to
solicit student information, at the next EC meeting.
10. The EC discussed the idea of having an on-campus center to care
for intoxicated students, so that local police could bring intoxicated
students to campus for care instead of making arrests for Drunk in
Public violations. The idea stemmed from comments raised at the
Alcohol and the Law Forum a few weeks ago, in that a main reason why
local police make DIP arrests is because there is not a local center
for intoxicated persons to receive supervision. In response to an
idea suggested by Dean Watkins, the EC decided to research information
from peer institutions about this issue to investigate any benefits or
consequences from adopting this model. Scott Centorino, Bill Larson,
Jill Morris, Kenneth Hopkins, Austin Branstetter, and Scott McClintock
will spearhead this for the EC.
11. Vice President Scott Centorino reported that the Dormstorm
Taskforce is working with Facilities Management to set up a viewing of
the Powerpoint presentation regarding the 10-year-plan and student
housing.
12. The Amicus Bovis Project (Hoffman) announced that he and Dining
Services met with a representative from the Roanoke Chick-fil-A.
Hoffman informed the EC that the Project is waiting on a response from
the Chick-fil-A corporation regarding beginning discussions for an
agreement.
13. Hoffman announced that he met with Teri Cugliari, Assoc. Director
of Student Activities and Greek Life, and proposed that the EC to work
with her Office to create an online location where students can fill
out a single form to seek both Student Body Recognition and
recognition from the Office of Student Activities. Once organizations
have completed the joint form, they will still need to be approved
respectively by the EC and the Office of Student Activities, but will
be able to fill out one streamlined application form. The EC
approved of this plan.
14. Hoffman proposed an amendment to the White Book, which the EC
unanimously voted to pass. The proposal is available below. White
Book Amendments must pass in two consecutive meetings to go into effect.
15. Hoffman adjourned the meeting into closed session at 9:20pm.
16. Hoffman reopened the meeting at 9:40pm.
17. Hoffman adjourned the meeting at 9:40pm.
White Book Amendment: The Pledge
Current Text, p. 3: "During orientation every student must sign a
White Pledge Card. This is a student's first pledge as a member of
the Washington and Lee community. It expresses that the student has
been through an orientation program on the Honor System, understands
the contents of the Honor System White Book, and will abide by the
Honor System."
Proposed Change, p. 3: "During orientation every new student must sign
the Honor Book. This is a student's first pledge as a member of the
Washington and Lee community. It expresses that the student has been
through an orientation program on the Honor System, has received a
copy of the Honor System White Book, and will abide by the Honor System."
Rationale: The 2009-2010 EC has replaced the process of having new
students sign pledge cards with the process of having new students
sign the Honor Book. This amendment serves to memorialize this change
in the White Book to accurately reflect current practices.

Verizon Wireless equipment for sale
Graham Spice <spicecg@wlu.edu>
Do you live in the county and don't have any hi-speed internet
available? I recently moved and have a nice Verizon WIFI setup for
sale that solves this problem.
The great part of this setup is the WIFI router that sends the
hi-speed signal all around your house: Cradlepoint CTR500. The CTR500
is a small device that can be placed anywhere and accepts the USB
modem that I purchased from Verizon called the USB720. Together they
will blanket any area with hi-speed internet access.
Verizon coverage is great in this area with many spots having EVDO
coverage, the fastest connection on their network. Want to setup a
mobile WIFI hotspot anywhere? No problem, this does it.
More info on the Cradlepoint CTR500 router:

ARE YOU A RISING JUNIOR THINKING OF GOING TO GRADUATE SCHOOL AND
PURSUING A PH.D.?
Matt Loar ’07 won a Beinecke in 2006. See Associate Dean Ikeda for
the Beinecke Binder with Matt’s winning application.
The Beinecke Scholarship is awarded to twenty juniors nationwide who
demonstrate both some form of financial need (no matter how small)
and a clear interest in continuing their studies at the graduate
level. Reserved for students in the arts, humanities, and social
sciences, Beinecke scholarships provide each recipient with over
$30,000 to cover the costs of tuition and fees accrued during one's
graduate career.
This scholarship is intended only for students who wish to pursue
the Ph.D., and therefore is not available to those who wish to apply
to Law, Medical, or Business School.
As one of the hundred schools invited to participate in the Beinecke
competition, Washington and Lee University may nominate one junior
for the scholarship each year. Juniors interested in applying for
the Beinecke Scholarship should contact Associate Dean Ikeda as soon
as possible.

Flournoy Playwright Festival: Staged Reading of "Scarcity"
Susan Wager <wagers@wlu.edu>
Join Killeen King '12, Cody Beauchamp '10, Jeni Prichett '12, Kevin
Mannering '10, Linnea Bond '11, Keaton Fletcher '13 and Catherine
Carlock '10 in a Staged Reading of "Scarcity" on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 3
p.m. There is a Talkback with Lucy Thurber immediately following the
reading. "Scarcity" contains adult content and themes, and is not
suitable for children. No tickets are required.
The Reading of Thurber's "Scarcity," directed by Rob Mish '76, focuses
on a small, isolated town in Western Massachusetts. The Lawrence
family struggles with poverty, boredom and lost potential. Into their
lives comes Ellen, a highly educated, wealthy and well-traveled young
woman who wants to give back to her country through education. She
teaches in the public school system where Billy and Rachel Lawrence
go, and she develops an obsession with Billy's intelligence, insight
and potential. Her obsession and desire to lift Billy out of poverty
tears the family apart. Director Mish says, "This play brings a
relevance to the W&L and the Rockbridge county communities as it could
easily take place right here. If we would simply open our eyes and
ears we might notice some things that could happen in our own back yards."

Violence on Campus Symposium
Wendy Rice <ricew@wlu.edu>
The Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice and the Frances Lewis
Law Center is proud to present our 2009 Symposium: Violence on
Campus: Students Who are a Danger to Self or Others and Appropriate
Institutional Responses on November 6th, 2009 from 8:30am to 3:00pm.
Violence on college campuses, whether in the form of student suicide
or a student endangering the lives of others, is an all too common
phenomenon. In the wake of these tragedies, institutions of higher
education come under intense scrutiny for both their preparedness
and their responses to such incidents.
Our symposium will explore what the fields of psychology, medical
science, and law can teach us about these tragedies and will attempt
to gauge a consensus on appropriate institutional responses. The
morning will lead off with Gary Pavela, author of Questions and
Answers on College Student Suicide: A Law and Policy Perspective.
Ensuing discussion will concentrate on students who are a danger to
themselves and examine interventions that campus personnel might
make to identify at-risk students and help them before disaster
strikes. The afternoon session will be keynoted by Lucinda Roy,
Seung-Hui Cho's English tutor at Virginia Tech and author of No
Right to Remain Silent. The following panel will focus on students
who pose a threat to others and the steps that institutions of
higher education should take to ensure their students' safety.
The Symposium will be held Friday, November 6th at Washington and
Lee School of Law in Lexington, Virginia. The event will take place
in the Millhiser Moot Court Room from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Lunch will
be provided at 11:45pm. The Symposium is free and open to the public.

The concept of synchronizing body and mind is total. It is relate to
whatever work of art you execute or whatever life you lead. Being in the
present, we can reshape the whole future. Therefore, should we be more awake and gentle with what we are doing at this very moment? Non-

how to perceive reality at its best.

WEDNESDAY WELLNESS TIPS: Dont Worry- Be Happy!!
Patricia Colliton <collitonp@wlu.edu>
Smile! Grinning, even if you don't feel happy, releases serotonin in
the brain, instantly lifts your mood and makes you feel better.
Plus, smiling people are viewed as sincere, attractive, and sociable.
Simplify your life. Unburden yourself of possessions that lock you
in the "rat race" of earning more money to pay for more things you
don't really need. Spend time and resources on things that add real
meaning to your life.
Exercise regularly. Physical activity produces "feel good chemicals"
(endorphins) in the brain, which promote satisfaction and well-
being. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise, most days of the
week.
Maintain your health. The healthier you are, the more likely you are
to be happy. Eating right, exercising, getting preventive care, and
reducing your stress level can all enhance health and happiness.

Do you live in the county and don't have any hi-speed internet

sale that solves this problem.
The great part of this setup is the WIFI router that sends the
hi-speed signal all around your house: Cradlepoint CTR500. The CTR500
is a small device that can be placed anywhere and accepts the USB
modem that I purchased from Verizon called the USB720. Together they
will blanket any area with hi-speed internet access.
Verizon coverage is great in this area with many spots having EVDO
coverage, the fastest connection on their network. Want to setup a
mobile WIFI hotspot anywhere? No problem, this does it.

Shuttles are being planned for Thanksgiving break
with "Nanceportation"
Reservations are coming in for airport travel at the beginning of
Thanksgiving break and end of break. Roanoke is the most used

Cars will be going to Roanoke at various times on Thurs. Nov 19 and
Fri Nov 20, with additional times and days being added everyday.
Transport to other airports/locations available upon request.
On Sun Nov 29 there will be only one Richmond pick up around

will be at the Roanoke airport or the Staunton train station. The
Sun after Thanksgiving is the only day of the year we limit
locations. It allows us to accommodate the most number of students
and will help to avoid too many pick up delays due to traffic. (Sat
Nov 28 travel has a little more flexibility)
For reservations please e-mail Nancy your contact info, and travel

Truman Fellowship
Rebekah Powers <rjpowers@wlu.edu>
The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation, established by Congress
in honor of the 33rd president, provides opportunities for
outstanding students to prepare for careers in public service.
Public service is broadly understood as participation in government
and related public service, and potential leadership ability is
emphasized.
One scholarship is awarded each year to a resident nominee in each
of the 50 states; in addition, 30-40 scholars-at-large may be
chosen. Nominees must be full-time students who will be seniors in
the forthcoming academic year. Truman scholars receive up to $30,000
for graduate school.
Washington and Lee may nominate candidates who have at least a B
average and rank in the top third of their class. The specific major
of prospective candidates is less important than the desire to enter
public service. Science majors interested in public health or the
environment, for example, may be competitive candidates, along with
those majoring in the humanities or social sciences. The candidates
will be chosen on the basis of their academic record and potential
for leadership in public service.

Richard Freeman, holder of the Herbert Ascherman Chair in Economics
at Harvard University, will address the W&L community at 7:30 p.m.
on Monday, Nov. 9 in the Millhiser Moot Court Room at the W&L School
of Law. His talk, entitled Can the U.S. Restore Shared Prosperity
After the Financial Meltdown?, will explore the implosion of Wall
Street and highlight the weakness of the U.S. capitalist system of
relying on the wisdom of finance, trickle-down economics and the
virtues of greed to provide stable growth for all. According to
Freeman, the shift in income distribution from the middle class to
the super-wealthy has created a form of crony capitalism that may
strangle efforts to rebuild an economy that works for us all. The
lecture will examine the problems facing U.S. workers and business
in recovering from the meltdown and ways to overcome those problems.
The talk is free and open to the public, and is co-sponsored by the
Johnson Lecture Series, the Shepherd Program and the Economics
Department.

Violence on Campus Symposium
Wendy Rice <ricew@wlu.edu>
The Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice and the Frances Lewis
Law Center is proud to present our 2009 Symposium: Violence on
Campus: Students Who are a Danger to Self or Others and Appropriate
Institutional Responses on November 6th, 2009 from 8:30am to 3:00pm.
Violence on college campuses, whether in the form of student suicide
or a student endangering the lives of others, is an all too common
phenomenon. In the wake of these tragedies, institutions of higher
education come under intense scrutiny for both their preparedness
and their responses to such incidents.
Our symposium will explore what the fields of psychology, medical
science, and law can teach us about these tragedies and will attempt
to gauge a consensus on appropriate institutional responses. The
morning will lead off with Gary Pavela, author of Questions and
Answers on College Student Suicide: A Law and Policy Perspective.
Ensuing discussion will concentrate on students who are a danger to
themselves and examine interventions that campus personnel might
make to identify at-risk students and help them before disaster
strikes. The afternoon session will be keynoted by Lucinda Roy,
Seung-Hui Cho's English tutor at Virginia Tech and author of No
Right to Remain Silent. The following panel will focus on students
who pose a threat to others and the steps that institutions of
higher education should take to ensure their students' safety.
The Symposium will be held Friday, November 6th at Washington and
Lee School of Law in Lexington, Virginia. The event will take place
in the Millhiser Moot Court Room from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Lunch will
be provided at 11:45pm. The Symposium is free and open to the public.

Grades a little low? New GPA Standards and Academic Probation
Rebekah Powers <rjpowers@wlu.edu>
Have you ever had a bad term where your term or cumulative GPA fell
just a little below 2.0? In the past you might have avoided
Academic Probation. This fall the new GPA standards, which were
passed by the Faculty last year, will go into effect for Academic
Probation and Automatic Rule. Please note two new changes:
1) If the term or cumulative grade-point average falls below 2.000
(for all class years) the student will be put on Academic Probation.
2) First-year students whose first-term grade-point average falls
below 1.000 will be placed on Automatic Rule, i.e. academic
suspension from W&L for one year.
If you fall in either of the categories above, I encourage you to
work hard through the end of final exams. Take advantage of all the
resources available to you – faculty office hours, talking with your
academic adviser, peer tutoring, counseling, speaking with a Student
Affairs dean or Academic dean. Consider ways in which you can
curtail extra-curricular activities and focus on your course work.

The concept of synchronizing body and mind is total. It is relate to

awake and gentle with what we are doing at this very moment? Non-

Verizon Wireless equipment for sale
Graham Spice <spicecg@wlu.edu>
Do you live in the county and don't have any hi-speed internet
available? I recently moved and have a nice Verizon WIFI setup for
sale that solves this problem.
The great part of this setup is the WIFI router that sends the
hi-speed signal all around your house: Cradlepoint CTR500. The CTR500
is a small device that can be placed anywhere and accepts the USB
modem that I purchased from Verizon called the USB720. Together they
will blanket any area with hi-speed internet access.
Verizon coverage is great in this area with many spots having EVDO
coverage, the fastest connection on their network. Want to setup a
mobile WIFI hotspot anywhere? No problem, this does it.
More info on the Cradlepoint CTR500 router:
http://3gstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=961
Cradlepoint CTR500 + Verizon USB720 for $120

Nanceportation Shuttles for Thanksgiving Break
Deborah Miranda <mirandad@wlu.edu>
Shuttles are being planned for Thanksgiving break
with "Nanceportation"
Reservations are coming in for airport travel at the beginning of
Thanksgiving break and end of break. Roanoke is the most used
airport and will be the most economical if you are looking for a
great deal.
Cars will be going to Roanoke at various times on Thurs. Nov 19 and
Fri Nov 20, with additional times and days being added everyday.
Transport to other airports/locations available upon request.
On Sun Nov 29 there will be only one Richmond pick up around
8:30am. Due to the Holiday traffic, all other pick ups on that Sun.
will be at the Roanoke airport or the Staunton train station. The
Sun after Thanksgiving is the only day of the year we limit
locations. It allows us to accommodate the most number of students
and will help to avoid too many pick up delays due to traffic. (Sat
Nov 28 travel has a little more flexibility)
For reservations please e-mail Nancy your contact info, and travel
info. You may also contact me for price quotes and questions.
Thank you to all of the students that used our services for reading

Flournoy Playwright Festival: Staged Reading of "Scarcity"
Susan Wager <wagers@wlu.edu>
Join Killeen King '12, Cody Beauchamp '10, Jeni Prichett '12, Kevin
Mannering '10, Linnea Bond '11, Keaton Fletcher '13 and Catherine
Carlock '10 in a Staged Reading of "Scarcity" on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 3
p.m. There is a Talkback with Lucy Thurber immediately following the
reading. "Scarcity" contains adult content and themes, and is not
suitable for children. No tickets are required.
The Reading of Thurber's "Scarcity," directed by Rob Mish '76, focuses
on a small, isolated town in Western Massachusetts. The Lawrence
family struggles with poverty, boredom and lost potential. Into their
lives comes Ellen, a highly educated, wealthy and well-traveled young
woman who wants to give back to her country through education. She
teaches in the public school system where Billy and Rachel Lawrence
go, and she develops an obsession with Billy's intelligence, insight
and potential. Her obsession and desire to lift Billy out of poverty
tears the family apart. Director Mish says, "This play brings a
relevance to the W&L and the Rockbridge county communities as it could
easily take place right here. If we would simply open our eyes and
ears we might notice some things that could happen in our own back yards."

Johnson Lecture Series Features Harvard Economist
Wendy Lovell <wwlovell@wlu.edu>
Richard Freeman, holder of the Herbert Ascherman Chair in Economics
at Harvard University, will address the W&L community at 7:30 p.m.
on Monday, Nov. 9 in the Millhiser Moot Court Room at the W&L School
of Law. His talk, entitled Can the U.S. Restore Shared Prosperity
After the Financial Meltdown?, will explore the implosion of Wall
Street and highlight the weakness of the U.S. capitalist system of
relying on the wisdom of finance, trickle-down economics and the
virtues of greed to provide stable growth for all. According to
Freeman, the shift in income distribution from the middle class to
the super-wealthy has created a form of crony capitalism that may
strangle efforts to rebuild an economy that works for us all. The
lecture will examine the problems facing U.S. workers and business
in recovering from the meltdown and ways to overcome those problems.
The talk is free and open to the public, and is co-sponsored by the
Johnson Lecture Series, the Shepherd Program and the Economics
Department.

Violence on Campus Symposium today
Wendy Rice <ricew@wlu.edu>
The Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice and the Frances Lewis
Law Center is proud to present our 2009 Symposium: Violence on
Campus: Students Who are a Danger to Self or Others and Appropriate
Institutional Responses today from 8:30am to 3:00pm.
Violence on college campuses, whether in the form of student suicide
or a student endangering the lives of others, is an all too common
phenomenon. In the wake of these tragedies, institutions of higher
education come under intense scrutiny for both their preparedness
and their responses to such incidents.
Our symposium will explore what the fields of psychology, medical
science, and law can teach us about these tragedies and will attempt
to gauge a consensus on appropriate institutional responses. The
morning will lead off with Gary Pavela, author of Questions and
Answers on College Student Suicide: A Law and Policy Perspective.
Ensuing discussion will concentrate on students who are a danger to
themselves and examine interventions that campus personnel might
make to identify at-risk students and help them before disaster
strikes. The afternoon session will be keynoted by Lucinda Roy,
Seung-Hui Cho's English tutor at Virginia Tech and author of No
Right to Remain Silent. The following panel will focus on students
who pose a threat to others and the steps that institutions of
higher education should take to ensure their students' safety.
The Symposium will be held Friday, November 6th at Washington and
Lee School of Law in Lexington, Virginia. The event will take place
in the Millhiser Moot Court Room from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Lunch will
be provided at 11:45pm. The Symposium is free and open to the public.

Have you considered taking LIT 223 Food and Tea in Japan?
Rebekah Powers <rjpowers@wlu.edu>
Did you know that W&L has an authentic Japanese tearoom that is used
for a lab course? LIT 223 “Food and Tea in Japan” meets the FDR HL
requirement or GE3 requirement. This three-credit course has a
unique Lab component that requires a weekly 1.5 hour commitment
learning the tea ceremony in our own Japanese tearoom in the Watson
Pavilion. The LIT 223L is scheduled for 3 hours, but the class is
divided into two groups that meet for 1.5 hours each. In order to
ease registration, the course no longer requires special permission.
You should sign up for LIT 223 and LIT 233L. If you have questions,
please contact the instructor J. Ikeda, ikedaj@wlu.edu, x8746. For

Why Reparations? Philosophy Lecture, November 12, 5:30
Angela Smith <smitha@wlu.edu>
Dr. Rahul Kumar, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Queen’s
University, will give a public lecture at 5:30 on Thursday, November
12, in Reid Hall 111. The title of Dr. Kumar’s talk is “Why
Reparations?” (see abstract below).
Abstract: Though many now accept the importance of claims to
reparations for past injustice in cases where the victims are still
alive, there remains a great deal of skepticism about the validity of
intergenerational reparations claims. What sense can be made, the
thought goes, of something being owed to someone in light of how her
distant ancestors were treated? Some argue that such claims should be
understood not as backward-looking claims to reparation for past
injustice, but as forward-looking demands to do what is necessary to
bring about a just society. Though there is a great deal to be said
in favor of this line of argument, I argue that it is mistaken. Living
individuals can be wronged by what seems to have been only done to
their ancestors, and are thus entitled to reparations, though perhaps
not as ‘reparations’ are sometimes characterized by opponents of the
very idea. These points are illustrated through a brief foray into how
they can be employed to help us understand the basis of
African-American claims to reparations for slavery.
This talk is free and open to the public.

Nanceportation Shuttles for Thanksgiving Break
Deborah Miranda <mirandad@wlu.edu>
Shuttles are being planned for Thanksgiving break
with "Nanceportation"
Reservations are coming in for airport travel at the beginning of
Thanksgiving break and end of break. Roanoke is the most used
airport and will be the most economical if you are looking for a
great deal.
Cars will be going to Roanoke at various times on Thurs. Nov 19 and
Fri Nov 20, with additional times and days being added everyday.
Transport to other airports/locations available upon request.
On Sun Nov 29 there will be only one Richmond pick up around
8:30am. Due to the Holiday traffic, all other pick ups on that Sun.
will be at the Roanoke airport or the Staunton train station. The
Sun after Thanksgiving is the only day of the year we limit
locations. It allows us to accommodate the most number of students
and will help to avoid too many pick up delays due to traffic. (Sat
Nov 28 travel has a little more flexibility)
For reservations please e-mail Nancy your contact info, and travel
info. You may also contact me for price quotes and questions.
Thank you to all of the students that used our services for reading

Flournoy Playwright Festival: Staged Reading of "Scarcity"
Susan Wager <wagers@wlu.edu>
Join Killeen King '12, Cody Beauchamp '10, Jeni Prichett '12, Kevin
Mannering '10, Linnea Bond '11, Keaton Fletcher '13 and Catherine
Carlock '10 in a Staged Reading of "Scarcity" on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 3
p.m. There is a Talkback with Lucy Thurber immediately following the
reading. "Scarcity" contains adult content and themes, and is not
suitable for children. No tickets are required.
The Reading of Thurber's "Scarcity," directed by Rob Mish '76, focuses
on a small, isolated town in Western Massachusetts. The Lawrence
family struggles with poverty, boredom and lost potential. Into their
lives comes Ellen, a highly educated, wealthy and well-traveled young
woman who wants to give back to her country through education. She
teaches in the public school system where Billy and Rachel Lawrence
go, and she develops an obsession with Billy's intelligence, insight
and potential. Her obsession and desire to lift Billy out of poverty
tears the family apart. Director Mish says, "This play brings a
relevance to the W&L and the Rockbridge county communities as it could
easily take place right here. If we would simply open our eyes and
ears we might notice some things that could happen in our own back yards."

Johnson Lecture Series Features Harvard Economist
Wendy Lovell <wwlovell@wlu.edu>
Richard Freeman, holder of the Herbert Ascherman Chair in Economics
at Harvard University, will address the W&L community at 7:30 p.m.
on Monday, Nov. 9 in the Millhiser Moot Court Room at the W&L School
of Law. His talk, entitled Can the U.S. Restore Shared Prosperity
After the Financial Meltdown?, will explore the implosion of Wall
Street and highlight the weakness of the U.S. capitalist system of
relying on the wisdom of finance, trickle-down economics and the
virtues of greed to provide stable growth for all. According to
Freeman, the shift in income distribution from the middle class to
the super-wealthy has created a form of crony capitalism that may
strangle efforts to rebuild an economy that works for us all. The
lecture will examine the problems facing U.S. workers and business
in recovering from the meltdown and ways to overcome those problems.
The talk is free and open to the public, and is co-sponsored by the
Johnson Lecture Series, the Shepherd Program and the Economics
Department.

Richard Freeman, holder of the Herbert Ascherman Chair in Economics
at Harvard University, will address the W&L community at 7:30 p.m.
on Monday, Nov. 9 in the Millhiser Moot Court Room at the W&L School
of Law. His talk, entitled Can the U.S. Restore Shared Prosperity
After the Financial Meltdown?, will explore the implosion of Wall
Street and highlight the weakness of the U.S. capitalist system of
relying on the wisdom of finance, trickle-down economics and the
virtues of greed to provide stable growth for all. According to
Freeman, the shift in income distribution from the middle class to
the super-wealthy has created a form of crony capitalism that may
strangle efforts to rebuild an economy that works for us all. The
lecture will examine the problems facing U.S. workers and business
in recovering from the meltdown and ways to overcome those problems.
The talk is free and open to the public, and is co-sponsored by the
Johnson Lecture Series, the Shepherd Program and the Economics
Department.

between illusion and reality with mind-blowing inventiveness; athletic
dancers fool the naked eye with an amazing array of black-light
illusions, acrobatic choreography and fantastical props. The troupe of
performers takes arabesques and pirouettes beyond the limit in
performances that a New York Times critic recently noted, "defy the
impossible."

Johnson Lecture Series Features Harvard Economist
Wendy Lovell <wwlovell@wlu.edu>
Richard Freeman, holder of the Herbert Ascherman Chair in Economics
at Harvard University, will address the W&L community at 7:30 p.m.
today in the Millhiser Moot Court Room at the W&L School
of Law. His talk, entitled Can the U.S. Restore Shared Prosperity
After the Financial Meltdown?, will explore the implosion of Wall
Street and highlight the weakness of the U.S. capitalist system of
relying on the wisdom of finance, trickle-down economics and the
virtues of greed to provide stable growth for all. According to
Freeman, the shift in income distribution from the middle class to
the super-wealthy has created a form of crony capitalism that may
strangle efforts to rebuild an economy that works for us all. The
lecture will examine the problems facing U.S. workers and business
in recovering from the meltdown and ways to overcome those problems.
The talk is free and open to the public, and is co-sponsored by the
Johnson Lecture Series, the Shepherd Program and the Economics
Department.

Great IN-TOWN Apt. Property for 4
Grant Kent Lewandrowski <lewandrowskig10@mail.wlu.edu
>
If you are looking for renting a property next year, the current
residents of 23 1/2 North Main St are NOT re-signing our lease for
next year.
Known to some as "Top Shelf", the property is above Pappagallo and
Cindy's Salon right in the town center (it is the building exactly
across the street from Macados). It has been completely renovated in
the last 3 years and features very new appliances, look and feel, and
is a top-quality living spot, especially with its location literally a
2-3 minute walk to campus.
There are 2 full bathrooms, washing room with new washer and
dryer, full sized kitchen, FOUR bedrooms, one large living room, and
another room roughly the size of a bedroom which is well suited for
keeping social gatherings in. There is also separately a very large
"Bar-style" area, with a full L-shaped bar, with plenty of space
behind it for tending, and stools for patrons if desired, or to just
knock one back after work or for a nightcap. Rent is currently $1800 a
month, and includes utilities, water, trash service at your door, etc.
Only things that you have to set up in your name would be internet and
TV if you so choose.
The landlord is great and lives and works right in town as well
,he is a WLU alumnus and is very lenient on doing what you want to do
with the place, and doesn't come over to check on things often unless
asked to come for help. If interested, then let me know and I can set
you up in contact with him. He would like to find people as soon as
possible, and I am sure is very willing to negotiate the rent prices
as he wants to close a deal fast.
Thanks,
-Grant Lewandrowski

Grades a little low? New GPA Standards and Academic Probation
Rebekah Powers <rjpowers@wlu.edu>
Have you ever had a bad term where your term or cumulative GPA fell
just a little below 2.0? In the past you might have avoided
Academic Probation. This fall the new GPA standards, which were
passed by the Faculty last year, will go into effect for Academic
Probation and Automatic Rule. Please note two new changes:
1) If the term or cumulative grade-point average falls below 2.000
(for all class years) the student will be put on Academic Probation.
2) First-year students whose first-term grade-point average falls
below 1.000 will be placed on Automatic Rule, i.e. academic
suspension from W&L for one year.
If you fall in either of the categories above, I encourage you to
work hard through the end of final exams. Take advantage of all the
resources available to you – faculty office hours, talking with your
academic adviser, peer tutoring, counseling, speaking with a Student
Affairs dean or Academic dean. Consider ways in which you can
curtail extra-curricular activities and focus on your course work.

Have you considered taking LIT 223 Food and Tea in Japan?
Rebekah Powers <rjpowers@wlu.edu>
Did you know that W&L has an authentic Japanese tearoom that is used
for a lab course? LIT 223 “Food and Tea in Japan” meets the FDR HL
requirement or GE3 requirement. This three-credit course has a
unique Lab component that requires a weekly 1.5 hour commitment
learning the tea ceremony in our own Japanese tearoom in the Watson
Pavilion. The LIT 223L is scheduled for 3 hours, but the class is
divided into two groups that meet for 1.5 hours each. In order to
ease registration, the course no longer requires special permission.
You should sign up for LIT 223 and LIT 233L. If you have questions,
please contact the instructor J. Ikeda, ikedaj@wlu.edu, x8746. For

Nanceportation Shuttles for Thanksgiving Break
Deborah Miranda <mirandad@wlu.edu>
Shuttles are being planned for Thanksgiving break
with "Nanceportation"
Reservations are coming in for airport travel at the beginning of
Thanksgiving break and end of break. Roanoke is the most used
airport and will be the most economical if you are looking for a
great deal.
Cars will be going to Roanoke at various times on Thurs. Nov 19 and
Fri Nov 20, with additional times and days being added everyday.
Transport to other airports/locations available upon request.
On Sun Nov 29 there will be only one Richmond pick up around
8:30am. Due to the Holiday traffic, all other pick ups on that Sun.
will be at the Roanoke airport or the Staunton train station. The
Sun after Thanksgiving is the only day of the year we limit
locations. It allows us to accommodate the most number of students
and will help to avoid too many pick up delays due to traffic. (Sat
Nov 28 travel has a little more flexibility)
For reservations please e-mail Nancy your contact info, and travel
info. You may also contact me for price quotes and questions.
Thank you to all of the students that used our services for reading
days, Tom and I enjoyed meeting all of you! W&L has a great group

Great IN-TOWN Apt. Property for 4
Grant Kent Lewandrowski <lewandrowskig10@mail.wlu.edu
>
If you are looking for renting a property next year, the current
residents of 23 1/2 North Main St are NOT re-signing our lease for
next year.
Known to some as "Top Shelf", the property is above Pappagallo and
Cindy's Salon right in the town center (it is the building exactly
across the street from Macados). It has been completely renovated in
the last 3 years and features very new appliances, look and feel, and
is a top-quality living spot, especially with its location literally a
2-3 minute walk to campus.
There are 2 full bathrooms, washing room with new washer and
dryer, full sized kitchen, FOUR bedrooms, one large living room, and
another room roughly the size of a bedroom which is well suited for
keeping social gatherings in. There is also separately a very large
"Bar-style" area, with a full L-shaped bar, with plenty of space
behind it for tending, and stools for patrons if desired, or to just
knock one back after work or for a nightcap. Rent is currently $1800 a
month, and includes utilities, water, trash service at your door, etc.
Only things that you have to set up in your name would be internet and
TV if you so choose.
The landlord is great and lives and works right in town as well
,he is a WLU alumnus and is very lenient on doing what you want to do
with the place, and doesn't come over to check on things often unless
asked to come for help. If interested, then let me know and I can set
you up in contact with him. He would like to find people as soon as
possible, and I am sure is very willing to negotiate the rent prices
as he wants to close a deal fast.
Thanks,
-Grant Lewandrowski

Why Reparations? Philosophy Lecture, November 12, 5:30
Angela Smith <smitha@wlu.edu>
Dr. Rahul Kumar, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Queen's
University, will give a public lecture at 5:30 on Thursday, November
12, in Reid Hall 111. The title of Dr. Kumar's talk is "Why
Reparations?" (see abstract below).
Abstract: Though many now accept the importance of claims to
reparations for past injustice in cases where the victims are still
alive, there remains a great deal of skepticism about the validity of
intergenerational reparations claims. What sense can be made, the
thought goes, of something being owed to someone in light of how her
distant ancestors were treated? Some argue that such claims should be
understood not as backward-looking claims to reparation for past
injustice, but as forward-looking demands to do what is necessary to
bring about a just society. Though there is a great deal to be said
in favor of this line of argument, I argue that it is mistaken. Living
individuals can be wronged by what seems to have been only done to
their ancestors, and are thus entitled to reparations, though perhaps
not as 'reparations' are sometimes characterized by opponents of the
very idea. These points are illustrated through a brief foray into how
they can be employed to help us understand the basis of
African-American claims to reparations for slavery.
This talk is free and open to the public.

WEDNESDAY WELLNESS TIP: Be Grateful- thank a Veteran
Patricia Colliton <collitonp@wlu.edu>
As Veterans Day comes this year, let us be mindful that there are
currently 23,442,000 living veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. Of
those, 8 percent, or 1,802,000, are women.
As of a year ago, there were 2,583,000 living World War II veterans,
but that number is now about 14,000 fewer. Even so, nearly 40
percent of our veteran population is 65 or older.
And, as Veterans Day approaches, take time to thank a veteran for
his or her service to our nation. For without their sacrifice and
willingness to give their lives in our defense, America today would
be a far different place.
Time that passes can never be recaptured, and the time will come
when it is too late to express those thanks. And, in the case of the
generation of veterans I grew up with - those who served in Vietnam -
who knows, it might just be something no one has ever said to them
before.
To all who have served, from World War II, to Korea, to Vietnam, to
Kuwait and Iraq and Afghanistan, and everything in between, you have
my appreciation, my esteem, and my thanks.
-Brian K. Finnicum editor of The News Observer.

EC Meeting Minutes from Nov. 3
William Bruce Larson Jr. <larson.w@law.wlu.edu
>
Minutes from the November 3, 2009 Executive Committee Meeting
1. President Eric Hoffman called the meeting to order at 7:00pm.
2. Amy Heard, class of 2013, came to the EC to discuss her idea for a
new student organization. The organization, modeled after a program
at her high school, would accept students' used textbooks and then
distribute books out for the next semester to students based on how
many they contributed to the exchange.
3. Hoffman presented language to be used to solicit student accounts
of interactions with the local police for the EC's Reasonableness
Project. The EC will create a page on its website for students to
easily submit these accounts.
4. Secretary Bill Larson met with Dean Watkins for the Student Safety
First taskforce to discuss the feasibility of establishing a safe
location on campus where students can be taken by local police instead
of being arrested for being drunk in public. The taskforce will
solicit information from other schools about how they handle similar
matters.
5. Vice President Scott Centorino announced that Class of 2012
Representative Steele Burrow has joined the Dormstorm Taskforce. The
taskforce is working with facilities management to set up an
opportunity for students to view the Powerpoint describing the 10 year
plans.
6. Class of 2012 Representative Scott McClintock informed the EC that
having received the Traveller Steering Committee's rationales for
adopting the five-mile radius service limit, the Traveller taskforce
will be looking into compromises that can be implemented to address
these issues. If compromises can be found, the Traveller taskforce
plans on creating a report which will offer ideas on how to turn a
unique service into a great unique service.
7. Hoffman informed the EC that he met with Teri Cugliari, Associate
Director of Student Activities, and that they are working on creating
an online form to streamline organization registration and update
procedures.
8. The EC discussed alternatives to the current usage of exam
envelopes in response to a question from Scott Dittman, University
Registrar. The EC discussed a variety of ways that the envelopes
might be reused to cut down on University costs.
9. Hoffman shared with the EC a letter from Maryanne Simurda,
University Marshall, which asked the EC for ideas to increase student
attendance at fall convocation. The EC suggested having department
heads inviting students with majors in their department, improving the
post-convocation food options, and having a reception for seniors to
follow the event.
10. Centorino proposed an addition to the EC's budget policy to
include Art. III Sec. 6: "Honor Societies: It is the Executive
Committee's policy not to directly fund honor societies." Rationale:
This serves to inform students of an established EC precedent.
11. Hoffman adjourned the meeting into closed session at 7:56pm.
12. Hoffman reopened the meeting at 8:03pm.
13. EC passed the budget policy change 12-1 (Hopkins opposed).
14. The White Book Amendment (see below) was passed unanimously for a
second time effectuating the amendment of the White Book.
15. Hoffman adjourned the meeting into closed session at 8:08pm.
16. Hoffman reopened the meeting at 8:19pm.
17. Hoffman adjourned the meeting at 8:19pm.
White Book Amendment: The Pledge
Current Text, p. 3: "During orientation every student must sign a
White Pledge Card. This is a student's first pledge as a member of
the Washington and Lee community. It expresses that the student has
been through an orientation program on the Honor System, understands
the contents of the Honor System White Book, and will abide by the
Honor System."
Proposed Change, p. 3: "During orientation every new student must sign
the Honor Book. This is a student's first pledge as a member of the
Washington and Lee community. It expresses that the student has been
through an orientation program on the Honor System, has received a
copy of the Honor System White Book, and will abide by the Honor System."
Rationale: The 2009-2010 EC has replaced the process of having new
students sign pledge cards with the process of having new students
sign the Honor Book. This amendment serves to memorialize this change
in the White Book to accurately reflect current practices.

Cars will be going to Roanoke at various times on Thurs. Nov 19 and
Fri Nov 20, with additional times and days being added everyday.
Transport to other airports/locations available upon request.
On Sun Nov 29 there will be only one Richmond pick up around

Great IN-TOWN Apt. Property for 4
Grant Kent Lewandrowski <lewandrowskig10@mail.wlu.edu
>
If you are looking for renting a property next year, the current
residents of 23 1/2 North Main St are NOT re-signing our lease for
next year.
Known to some as "Top Shelf", the property is above Pappagallo and
Cindy's Salon right in the town center (it is the building exactly
across the street from Macados). It has been completely renovated in
the last 3 years and features very new appliances, look and feel, and
is a top-quality living spot, especially with its location literally a
2-3 minute walk to campus.
There are 2 full bathrooms, washing room with new washer and
dryer, full sized kitchen, FOUR bedrooms, one large living room, and
another room roughly the size of a bedroom which is well suited for
keeping social gatherings in. There is also separately a very large
"Bar-style" area, with a full L-shaped bar, with plenty of space
behind it for tending, and stools for patrons if desired, or to just
knock one back after work or for a nightcap. Rent is currently $1800 a
month, and includes utilities, water, trash service at your door, etc.
Only things that you have to set up in your name would be internet and
TV if you so choose.
The landlord is great and lives and works right in town as well
,he is a WLU alumnus and is very lenient on doing what you want to do
with the place, and doesn't come over to check on things often unless
asked to come for help. If interested, then let me know and I can set
you up in contact with him. He would like to find people as soon as
possible, and I am sure is very willing to negotiate the rent prices
as he wants to close a deal fast.
Thanks,
-Grant Lewandrowski

Why Reparations? Philosophy Lecture, TODAY, 5:30
Angela Smith <smitha@wlu.edu>
Dr. Rahul Kumar, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Queen's
University, will give a public lecture at 5:30 on Thursday, November
12, in Reid Hall 111. The title of Dr. Kumar's talk is "Why
Reparations?" (see abstract below).
Abstract: Though many now accept the importance of claims to
reparations for past injustice in cases where the victims are still
alive, there remains a great deal of skepticism about the validity of
intergenerational reparations claims. What sense can be made, the
thought goes, of something being owed to someone in light of how her
distant ancestors were treated? Some argue that such claims should be
understood not as backward-looking claims to reparation for past
injustice, but as forward-looking demands to do what is necessary to
bring about a just society. Though there is a great deal to be said
in favor of this line of argument, I argue that it is mistaken. Living
individuals can be wronged by what seems to have been only done to
their ancestors, and are thus entitled to reparations, though perhaps
not as 'reparations' are sometimes characterized by opponents of the
very idea. These points are illustrated through a brief foray into how
they can be employed to help us understand the basis of
African-American claims to reparations for slavery.
This talk is free and open to the public.

Great IN-TOWN Apt. Property for 4
Grant Kent Lewandrowski <lewandrowskig10@mail.wlu.edu
>
If you are looking for renting a property next year, the current
residents of 23 1/2 North Main St are NOT re-signing our lease for
next year.
Known to some as "Top Shelf", the property is above Pappagallo and
Cindy's Salon right in the town center (it is the building exactly
across the street from Macados). It has been completely renovated in
the last 3 years and features very new appliances, look and feel, and
is a top-quality living spot, especially with its location literally a
2-3 minute walk to campus.
There are 2 full bathrooms, washing room with new washer and
dryer, full sized kitchen, FOUR bedrooms, one large living room, and
another room roughly the size of a bedroom which is well suited for
keeping social gatherings in. There is also separately a very large
"Bar-style" area, with a full L-shaped bar, with plenty of space
behind it for tending, and stools for patrons if desired, or to just
knock one back after work or for a nightcap. Rent is currently $1800 a
month, and includes utilities, water, trash service at your door, etc.
Only things that you have to set up in your name would be internet and
TV if you so choose.
The landlord is great and lives and works right in town as well
,he is a WLU alumnus and is very lenient on doing what you want to do
with the place, and doesn't come over to check on things often unless
asked to come for help. If interested, then let me know and I can set
you up in contact with him. He would like to find people as soon as
possible, and I am sure is very willing to negotiate the rent prices
as he wants to close a deal fast.
Thanks,
