graduate study in over 100 foreign countries. The amount and nature
of the award vary according to the country, university, and field of
study, but it is usually sufficient to cover all expenses for the
nine-month stay. Washington and Lee University has been named one of
the top 25 Fulbright-producing liberal arts colleges in the country,
and one of only two in the south, according to the Fulbright
Program.
A candidate for a Fulbright should have a high scholastic average
and at least two years of college work in the language of the
country of study. The candidate must submit a detailed statement of
purpose for studying abroad, including the reasons for choosing a
particular country and course of study.
Indicate Interest By: Sept. 11 at the latest

Rhodes Scholarship
Rebekah Powers <rjpowers@wlu.edu>
The Rhodes scholarships were created by the will of Cecil J. Rhodes,
a British colonial pioneer and statesman. They provide for two years
of study at the University of Oxford, with the possibility of
renewal for a third year. The Rhodes Trustees pay the Scholar all
educational costs, maintenance, and travel expenses.
Cecil Rhodes wished to advance international understanding and peace
by bringing together talented young men and women in an environment
highly congenial to personal and intellectual development.
Rhodes specified that the persons chosen as Scholars should have
demonstrated literary and scholastic attainments; truthfulness,
courage , devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak,
kindness, unselfishness, and fellowship; exhibition of moral force
of character and of instincts to lead and to take an interest in
one's contemporaries; and physical vigor, as shown by fondness for
and success in sports.
District Committees invite selected applicants to interview sessions
near the end of November. Two Rhodes Scholars are selected from
each district. A candidate must be a citizen of the United States,
at least 18 years of age, and no more than 24 years of age. He or
she must be a college senior, sure to graduate by October of the
year of matriculation at Oxford.
Deadline for Application: Late September. (Forms arrive in late
summer. They are lengthy and require five to eight references.)
Official deadlines are posted on the linked site. Applicants must
also seek institutional endorsement.

With school just around the corner, I am sure there are organizations (clubs, fraternities,

rush, fundraising or whatever else. I encourage you all to use Kotis Design as your supplier:
www.kotisdesign.com. I am an on-campus sales representative for this great company. They
have a great team of designers, unbeatable prices, and features on their website that many
other design companies do not. Also, they can create many different products other than t-
shirts: coozies, frisbees, sweatshirts, bags, calendars, etc. If anyone has questions or would
like help contacting Kotis/placing an order through them, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.

of academic excellence, leadership and public service. Strong,
demonstrated achievements in all three areas are required.

Changes to Fall Registration
Barbara Rowe <browe@wlu.edu>
You need to know this!
The faculty has approved major changes to drop/add policy that go
into effect now. Please note these changes below and be sure to
finalize all drops and adds within the first week of the term.
1st change: Shorter drop/add period
Get all drops and adds taken care of in the first week of the term.
After the first week, late changes to your registration require
permissions, significant fines, and possibly a drop with record.
The faculty want your schedule finalized early and this is important
in a 12-week term.
2nd change: Higher late fees
Major late fees go into effect after the first week of the term.
The late fee for turning in a drop/add form or P/F declaration form
after the first week is $100. Beyond the end of a term the fee goes
up to $200.
3rd change: Drop with record
A new drop with record policy has been approved. Dropped courses
after the second week of the term have a W grade entered on your
record. After midterm, a dropped course will have a WP or WF grade
assigned by the faculty member. These grades are reflected on your
transcript.
4th change: Full-time load
All degree-seeking students are expected to be registered for a full-
time load (12 credits) by the end of the second week of the term.
Students without a full-time load will be withdrawn from the
University. Take care of all registration holds and get registered
for your classes.
Please note that these changes are for fall and winter terms and
different deadlines will be in effect for spring term. For example,
the drop/add period for spring will be only two days long. Specific
deadlines for the fall are listed at
http://registrar.wlu.edu/policies/DropAddPolicies.pdf .
If you would like to hear an audio-visual version of these changes,
see the link on http://registrar.wlu.edu/policies/new_drop_add.htm .

Registrar's office at registrar@wlu.edu .

there have been 10-15 regular participants in the group. In

With school just around the corner, I am sure there are organizations (clubs, fraternities,
sororities, sports teams, etc.) that may be thinking about creating and ordering t-shirts for
rush, fundraising or whatever else. I encourage you all to use Kotis Design as your supplier:
www.kotisdesign.com. I am an on-campus sales representative for this great company. They
have a great team of designers, unbeatable prices, and features on their website that many
other design companies do not. Also, they can create many different products other than t-
shirts: coozies, frisbees, sweatshirts, bags, calendars, etc. If anyone has questions or would
like help contacting Kotis/placing an order through them, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
Thanks for considering Kotis!!

If you play a musical instrument and would like to learn to
improvise, Mr. Tom Artwick has openings in MUS 141J. Intermediate
level of skill on your instrument is required and reading standard
musical notation is helpful but not mandatory. Learn skills that
will allow you to improvise your own melodies based on jazz and other
styles of popular songs, learn music by ear from recordings, and
understand the structure of music so that you can better compose.

The University-Shenandoah Symphony Orchestra: Hangin’ with Haydn
Barry Kolman <kolmanb@wlu.edu>
Some fun facts: Haydn’s FAREWELL SYMPHONY was written while the
composer was abducted by aliens, hence the name. Bach known for his
21 children and his forgetfulness, often misplaced his car keys as
well as child No. 7 and No. 15. Mozart’s prom date to the Salzburg
High Dance of 1772 taught him to whistle and sing at the same time,
a practice found in many of his later choral works. As a member of
the University-Shenandoah Symphony Orchestra, you would have known
all of this, and more. If you are a string player and starving for
unending knowledge, the University Orchestra is exactly where you
want be. Sign up for Mus 114; we’ll even supply the music and best
of all, you will learn the secret USSO hand shake. For more
information about the Orchestra or aliens, contact Dr. Kolman (one
of the few people who actually knows the third verse of the Star-
Spangled Banner) at the following coordinates: bkolman@wlu.edu,
Wilson 4029, x8856, 3rd rock from the sun. The USSO is open to

Join the University Wind Ensemble: It’s going to be fun!
Barry Kolman <kolmanb@wlu.edu>
With no money down and just a few hours a week of your time, you can
become a musical millionaire; someone with virtually millions of
melodies running through your head. Better than HBO or any other
Premium Channel, the world renown W&L University Wind Ensemble will
offer you an exciting experience you cannot get any place else. If you
play a brass, woodwind, or percussion instrument, you are ready for a
musical journey that could change your life forever. Some side effects
may include constant humming, a permanent smile, increase popularity,
and more fun than you can imagine. Tell your advisor that you want,
nay, demand Mus 113. Do not settle for any imitations Forget FB, IM,
or Tweets. Breathe the fresh air of music; make your own history
instead about reading about others. Did I mention we are going to
Israel in the Spring? The tax laws may change at any time, so hurry.
Contact Dr. Kolman x8852, bkolman@wlu.edu. (Membership is open to all
undergraduate and law students, faculty, staff, and community
residents.) Offer void where prohibited.

Watch for suspicious e-mails
Jeffrey Overholtzer <joverholtzer@wlu.edu>
As undergraduates return to classes, students, faculty and staff
should be especially careful to safeguard their computers and data.
Fall is always a busy time for various kinds of Internet scams, in
particular phishing. Phishing is when e-mail purporting to be from a
legitimate source attempts to trick you into providing confidential
information.
Such e-mail may appear to come from your bank, PayPay or even the
University. Be wary of any messages asking you to divulge passwords,
bank account numbers or other personal information. Information
Technology Services will never ask you for your password.

The University-Shenandoah Symphony Orchestra: Hangin’ with Haydn
Barry Kolman <kolmanb@wlu.edu>
Some fun facts: Haydn’s FAREWELL SYMPHONY was written while the
composer was abducted by aliens, hence the name. Bach known for his
21 children and his forgetfulness, often misplaced his car keys as
well as child No. 7 and No. 15. Mozart’s prom date to the Salzburg
High Dance of 1772 taught him to whistle and sing at the same time,
a practice found in many of his later choral works. As a member of
the University-Shenandoah Symphony Orchestra, you would have known
all of this, and more. If you are a string player and starving for
unending knowledge, the University Orchestra is exactly where you
want be. Sign up for Mus 114; we’ll even supply the music and best

Fellowship Spotlight: Beinecke Scholarship
Rebekah Powers <rjpowers@wlu.edu>
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.

Git-R-Done!!! Changes in Drop/Add policies
Barbara Rowe <browe@wlu.edu>
You need to know this! Take care of all registration activities in
the first week of the term!
The faculty has approved major changes to drop/add policy that go
into effect now. Please note these changes below and be sure to
finalize all drops and adds within the first week of the term.
1st change: Shorter drop/add period
Get all drops and adds taken care of in the first week of the term.
After the first week, late changes to your registration require
permissions, significant fines, and possibly a drop with record.
The faculty want your schedule finalized early and this is important
in a 12-week term.
2nd change: Higher late fees
Major late fees go into effect after the first week of the term.
The late fee for turning in a drop/add form or P/F declaration form
after the first week is $100. Beyond the end of a term the fee goes
up to $200.
3rd change: Drop with record
A new drop with record policy has been approved. Dropped courses
after the second week of the term have a W grade entered on your
record. After midterm, a dropped course will have a WP or WF grade
assigned by the faculty member. These grades are reflected on your
transcript.
4th change: Full-time load
All degree-seeking students are expected to be registered for a full-
time load (12 credits) by the end of the second week of the term.
Students without a full-time load will be withdrawn from the
University. Take care of all registration holds and get registered
for your classes.
Please note that these changes are for fall and winter terms and
different deadlines will be in effect for spring term. For example,
the drop/add period for spring will be only two days long. Specific
deadlines for the fall are listed at
http://registrar.wlu.edu/policies/DropAddPolicies.pdf .
If you would like to hear an audio-visual version of these changes,

Watch for suspicious e-mails
Jeffrey Overholtzer <joverholtzer@wlu.edu>
Fall is always a busy time for various kinds of Internet scams, and
students, faculty and staff should be especially careful to
safeguard their computers and data. Phishing is a common tactic used
by scammers who send e-mail claiming to be from a legitimate source
and attempt to trick you into providing confidential information.
Such e-mail may appear to come from your bank, PayPal or even the
University. Be wary of any messages asking you to divulge passwords,
bank account numbers or other personal information. Information
Technology Services will never ask you for your password.
Watch this 30-second video, produced for the higher education
community, to see how phishing works:

asked questions about who they are, what they know, and how they know
it. Your job is to maintain your character while improvising your
lines. Acting in Mock Trial is intellectually stimulating,
challenging, and the most fun you'll have as an actor.
No legal knowledge is necessary!
Come look into Mock Trial at the Campus Activities fair on Wednesday,
September 9th.
If you have any questions, email Prof. Beth Belmont (belmontb@wlu.edu)

Become a WLUR DJ!
Kimber Lauren Wiggs <wiggsk10@mail.wlu.edu
>
Tired of having no say about what you hear on the radio? Think you have good musical
taste? Like sitting in small rooms full of sound equipment?
Then you should become a DJ for WLUR!
WLUR 91.5 FM Lexington accepts applications for new music shows in September,
December, March and June. Here is the process for becoming a DJ:
New DJs must submit a mix CD of 60 to 90 minutes of music. You’re essentially putting
together a sample show, so give it your best effort.
Accompanying the mix, include a sheet with the following information:
• Your name, e-mail address, and phone number
• Title and artist of each track on your mix
• The best possible show times for you
• Times when you absolutely cannot do a show
• Type of show you’re applying for (in case we can’t figure it out from your music)
Most shows for new DJs will be one hour, once a week.
You can drop mix CDs off at the WLUR office, located on the bottom floor of the Elrod
Commons, next to the Stackhouse Theater.
Applications for the undergraduate spring term (April-June) are due in the WLUR office no
later than Monday, September 14 at 5:00 p.m.
For more information, contact station manager Jeremy Franklin at (540) 458-4017 or
franklinj@wlu.edu.

Git-R-Done!!! Changes in Drop/Add policies
Barbara Rowe <browe@wlu.edu>
You need to know this! Take care of all registration activities in
the first week of the term!
The faculty has approved major changes to drop/add policy that go
into effect now. Please note these changes below and be sure to
finalize all drops and adds within the first week of the term.
1st change: Shorter drop/add period
Get all drops and adds taken care of in the first week of the term.
After the first week, late changes to your registration require
permissions, significant fines, and possibly a drop with record.
The faculty want your schedule finalized early and this is important
in a 12-week term.
2nd change: Higher late fees
Major late fees go into effect after the first week of the term.
The late fee for turning in a drop/add form or P/F declaration form
after the first week is $100. Beyond the end of a term the fee goes
up to $200.
3rd change: Drop with record
A new drop with record policy has been approved. Dropped courses
after the second week of the term have a W grade entered on your
record. After midterm, a dropped course will have a WP or WF grade
assigned by the faculty member. These grades are reflected on your
transcript.
4th change: Full-time load
All degree-seeking students are expected to be registered for a full-
time load (12 credits) by the end of the second week of the term.
Students without a full-time load will be withdrawn from the
University. Take care of all registration holds and get registered
for your classes.
Please note that these changes are for fall and winter terms and
different deadlines will be in effect for spring term. For example,
the drop/add period for spring will be only two days long. Specific
deadlines for the fall are listed at

Interested in Acting/Theater?
Andrew Christopher Budzinski <budzinskia10@mail.wlu.edu

Are you interested in acting or theater? Do you want the chance to
take on a unique character role? Then check out W&L Mock Trial. In
Mock Trial, you have the opportunity to take on the role of a witness.
Here's the catch: instead of a script, you have that character's
story, written from their perspective. In competition, witnesses are
asked questions about who they are, what they know, and how they know
it. Your job is to maintain your character while improvising your
lines. Acting in Mock Trial is intellectually stimulating,
challenging, and the most fun you'll have as an actor.
No legal knowledge is necessary!
Come look into Mock Trial at the Campus Activities fair on Wednesday,
September 9th.

books, and room and board, up to $7,500.
Nominees for Goldwater Scholarships must include in their nomination
materials a statement of interest in a career in mathematics, the

program and their overall educational plans will prepare them for

each year. Nominees, each of whom must be a U.S. citizen or resident
alien intending to obtain U.S. citizenship, must be able to
demonstrate outstanding academic performance and commitment to a
career in the sciences (e.g. Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science,
Geology, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering).

Watch for suspicious e-mails
Jeffrey Overholtzer <joverholtzer@wlu.edu>
Fall is always a busy time for various kinds of Internet scams, and
students, faculty and staff should be especially careful to
safeguard their computers and data. Phishing is a common tactic used
by scammers who send e-mail claiming to be from a legitimate source
and attempt to trick you into providing confidential information.
Such e-mail may appear to come from your bank, PayPal or even the
University. Be wary of any messages asking you to divulge passwords,
bank account numbers or other personal information. Information
Technology Services will never ask you for your password.
Watch this 30-second video, produced for the higher education
community, to see how phishing works:

Interested in Acting/Theater?
Andrew Christopher Budzinski <budzinskia10@mail.wlu.edu
>
Are you interested in acting or theater? Do you want the chance to
take on a unique character role? Then check out W&L Mock Trial. In
Mock Trial, you have the opportunity to take on the role of a witness.
Here's the catch: instead of a script, you have that character's
story, written from their perspective. In competition, witnesses are
asked questions about who they are, what they know, and how they know
it. Your job is to maintain your character while improvising your
lines. Acting in Mock Trial is intellectually stimulating,
challenging, and the most fun you'll have as an actor.
No legal knowledge is necessary!
Come look into Mock Trial at our information session on Monday,
September 14th in the C-School (Huntley Hall) Room 221 at 7 PM.
If you have any questions, email Prof. Beth Belmont (belmontb@wlu.edu)

you might want to go to law school? Would you just like to be part of
a challenging and fun program that emphasizes teamwork, public
speaking and thinking on your feet? Then get involved in W&L's Mock
Trial program (INTR 231 and 431)!
This year's participants will prepare the 2009-2010 American Mock
Trial Association (www.collegemocktrial.org) case. Our teams will
compete in five invitational tournaments before taking our case to the
Regional tournament. In preparation for these competitions,
participants will meet twice weekly throughout the fall term for
classroom sessions and intra-team scrimmage. Participants will assume
the roles of attorneys and witnesses and will present all aspects of
the case, from opening statement to closing argument.
If you are interested, come see us at our information session on
Monday, September 14 at 7:00 p.m. in C- School (Huntley Hall) Room
221. At that session a packet will be distributed with try-out
materials. Try-outs will be held on Saturday, September 19 from 1-5
PM and on Sunday, September 20 from 7-10 PM. All tryouts will be in
the Law School, Classroom E.

• Title and artist of each track on your mix
• The best possible show times for you
• Times when you absolutely cannot do a show
• Type of show you’re applying for (in case we can’t figure it out from your music)

Commons, next to the Stackhouse Theater.
Applications for the undergraduate spring term (April-June) are due in the WLUR office no

MATH PROBLEMS OF THE MONTH
Nathan Feldman <feldmann@wlu.edu>
Win cash prizes for solving math problems! You can find the problems
below, at math.wlu.edu, and posted in the Math Department. There's an
easier problem and a harder problem. Here's this month's problem,
which was recommended by Loren Pomeroy, a music instructor at W&L.
Opening and Closing Lockers: At a certain high school there are 1000
students and 1000 lockers. Each student is assigned a student id
number from 1 to 1000. The students then perform a simple exercise of
opening and closing certain locker doors. Initially all of the locker
doors are closed and a brave upperclassman steps forward to start the
process. She walks past all of the lockers stopping at each one. As
she stops at each locker, if her student id number divides the locker
number, then she opens the door of that locker otherwise she leaves it
closed. Then another student steps up and takes his turn. This time
some of the locker doors are open and some are closed. Each locker is
in a certain state, either open or closed. As the second student
passes each locker, he opens or closes the locker based on whether or
not his student id number divides the locker number. If his id number
divides the locker number, then he changes the state of that locker
door. Eventually, all 1000 students do likewise. In the end, some of
the locker doors will be open and some closed.
Easier Problem: Which of the doors numbered 1 through 10, if
any, are left open? Explain you answer.
Harder Problem: First explain why the order in which the
students go does not effect which doors are left open and which are
closed. Second, determine how many of the 1000 doors are left open
and which ones are they?
Submit your solutions to Professor Feldman in Robinson Hall. You must
submit a correct answer as well as an explanation of how you got your
answer. For the first few correct solutions there are $1 prizes for
the easier problems and $5 prizes for the harder problems . Prizes
are available to everyone in the W&L community; students, faculty, and
staff.

school level (grades 7-12).
Possess a bachelor’s degree or plan to receive a bachelor’s

grades 7-12 for no less than one year for each full academic year of
study under the fellowship.
The maximum amount of each award is $24,000, prorated over the

O-Week has finally arrived, and I am sure there are organizations (clubs, fraternities,
sororities, sports teams, etc.) that may be thinking about creating and ordering t-shirts for
rush, fundraising or whatever else. I encourage you all to use Kotis Design as your supplier:
www.kotisdesign.com. I am an on-campus sales representative for this great company. They
have a great team of designers, unbeatable prices, and features on their website that many
other design companies do not. Also, they can create many different products other than t-
shirts: coozies, frisbees, sweatshirts, bags, calendars, etc. If anyone has questions or would
like help contacting Kotis/placing an order through them, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
Thanks for considering Kotis!!

Interested in Acting/Theater?
Andrew Christopher Budzinski <budzinskia10@mail.wlu.edu
>
Are you interested in acting or theater? Do you want the chance to
take on a unique character role? Then check out W&L Mock Trial. In
Mock Trial, you have the opportunity to take on the role of a witness.
Here's the catch: instead of a script, you have that character's
story, written from their perspective. In competition, witnesses are
asked questions about who they are, what they know, and how they know
it. Your job is to maintain your character while improvising your
lines. Acting in Mock Trial is intellectually stimulating,
challenging, and the most fun you'll have as an actor.
No legal knowledge is necessary!
Come look into Mock Trial at our information session on Monday,
September 14th in the C-School (Huntley Hall) Room 221 at 7 PM.
If you have any questions, email Prof. Beth Belmont (belmontb@wlu.edu)

a challenging and fun program that emphasizes teamwork, public
speaking and thinking on your feet? Then get involved in W&L's Mock
Trial program (INTR 231 and 431)!
This year's participants will prepare the 2009-2010 American Mock
Trial Association (www.collegemocktrial.org) case. Our teams will
compete in five invitational tournaments before taking our case to the
Regional tournament. In preparation for these competitions,
participants will meet twice weekly throughout the fall term for
classroom sessions and intra-team scrimmage. Participants will assume
the roles of attorneys and witnesses and will present all aspects of
the case, from opening statement to closing argument.
If you are interested, come see us at our information session on
Monday, September 14 at 7:00 p.m. in C- School (Huntley Hall) Room
221. At that session a packet will be distributed with try-out
materials. Try-outs will be held on Saturday, September 19 from 1-5

• The best possible show times for you
• Times when you absolutely cannot do a show

MATH PROBLEMS OF THE MONTH
Nathan Feldman <feldmann@wlu.edu>
Win cash prizes for solving math problems! You can find the problems
below, at math.wlu.edu, and posted in the Math Department. There's an
easier problem and a harder problem. Here's this month's problem,
which was recommended by Loren Pomeroy, a music instructor at W&L.
Opening and Closing Lockers: At a certain high school there are 1000
students and 1000 lockers. Each student is assigned a student id
number from 1 to 1000. The students then perform a simple exercise of
opening and closing certain locker doors. Initially all of the locker
doors are closed and a brave upperclassman steps forward to start the
process. She walks past all of the lockers stopping at each one. As
she stops at each locker, if her student id number divides the locker
number, then she opens the door of that locker otherwise she leaves it
closed. Then another student steps up and takes his turn. This time
some of the locker doors are open and some are closed. Each locker is
in a certain state, either open or closed. As the second student
passes each locker, he opens or closes the locker based on whether or
not his student id number divides the locker number. If his id number
divides the locker number, then he changes the state of that locker
door. Eventually, all 1000 students do likewise. In the end, some of
the locker doors will be open and some closed.
Easier Problem: Which of the doors numbered 1 through 10, if
any, are left open? Explain you answer.
Harder Problem: First explain why the order in which the
students go does not effect which doors are left open and which are
closed. Second, determine how many of the 1000 doors are left open
and which ones are they?
Submit your solutions to Professor Feldman in Robinson Hall. You must
submit a correct answer as well as an explanation of how you got your
answer. For the first few correct solutions there are $1 prizes for
the easier problems and $5 prizes for the harder problems . Prizes
are available to everyone in the W&L community; students, faculty, and
staff.
