Calloway accounts for
highest CPA exam scores
By Will Wingfield
Old Gold and Black Reporter
Dig in
There was plenty to go around at the faculty and staff's annual Labor Day picnic at the Scales Fine Arts
Center. Despite rainy weather, more than 350 employees and family members were expected to attend.
The Calloway School of Business and Accountancy, recently bestowed with a $500,000 grant
from the Duke Energy Corp. in honor of the late
trustee Thomas Davis, now boasts the highest
success rate on the exam for Certified Public Accountants.
Among the 34 graduates of Calloway's two- and
five-year Masters of Science in Accountancy program, 82.4 percent passed the May 1998 exam.
Only 23.8 percent passed the exam nationally.
The University of Kansas, which was rated second
in the 1999 edition of the Candidate Peiformance on
the Uniform CPA Examination, had 71.4 percent of
its students pass the exam.
This performance is not a fluke - Calloway's
accountancy program has consistently performed
well on the CPA exam, coming in second in the
previous year. However, this was the first time that
the program placed first in the nation.
Dale Martin, a professor of business and accountancy and coordinator of the accountancy program at
the Calloway school, works with the students who go
through the school.
He attributed the success of the program to three
factors: the rigorous program provicfed, dedicated faculty members and talented students with a good work
ethic.
Allison Evans, a fifth-year master's student who will
work in tax consulting at Ernst & Young in Raleigh
upon her graduation, pointed to "small classes, teachers interested in their students and concerned about
what we learn" as the formula for the program's success.
"Parents will see the rankings and encourage their
child to visit the university. This could increase the
number of students looking at Wake Forest," Martin
said.

Oh, the places we will go in Business 290 ,_
.
Senior business majors can
tour Europe studying large
companies through the
Calloway school.
By Juliaette Lamond
Fourteen students from the
Calloway School of Business and
Accountancy enrolled last winter
in Business 290: Introduction to
International Business. The streets
of London, Amsterdam, Brussels,
Paris, Geneva, Munich, Salzburg
and Venice served as lecture halls,
and executives of International
Businesses were professors of this
four-week course.
Leaving the day after graduation, the group of rising seniors
went country hopping around
Europe, examining international
companies and international
branches of American businesses.
About one-third of the trip was
spent at companies such as RJR
(Geneva), Audi (Munich), Sara
Lee {Paris) andJP Morgan (London). Students visited a half-day
at each company, where they were
given a presentation about company operations, culture and elements of business. Some companies focused on international marketing; others on finance, technology or management.
"We saw how different cultures
have different business ideals.
W ark hours, pay and employee
relations was distinct in every
area," senior Joe Burney said.
"The international branch of
RJR in Geneva was really interesting. They focused on international marketing and how their
strategy changes from country to
country," senior Byron Brown
said.
At times, the students were given
a tour of the facility and had the
opportunity to have lunch with
company employees to gain an
inside perspective. "The wonderful thing about this program is
that our students are being exposed to how major corporations
operate overseas, and often a vice
president of the company is presenting this information. The companies go out of their way to ensure the students gain a lot from
the visit," said Kline Harrison, an
associate professor ofbusiness and
accountancy who organized the
program and accompanied the
students on the trip.
Before leaving, students were
asked to write a one-page memo
on the background of a certain
company, to visit each company's
Web site and read materials that
would prepare them for each visit.
"The reading refreshed our
memory about key concepts and
jargon in the business world. We
read articles about the six functional areas of business, and this
allowed us go into the companies
prepared to ask intelligent questions," Brown said.
The class spent a day in London
reviewing important facts about
every company and learning ways
to be culturally sensitive to what
would be going on around them.
"The idea was for the students
to go into each presentation with
a feel for the company so they
could get the most out of each
visit," Harrison said.
About one-third of the time was
spent visiting companies, leaving
p1enty of time open for students to
become culturally oriented.
"We spent an afternoon bike
riding in Bruge, Belgium. The atmosphere was peaceful and picturesque. I enjoyed it because most
of the group participated, and it
was a great activity to do together,"
senior Kathy Moran said.
The 14 students became close
friends after living and touring
together for four weeks. "Coming
into it, I thought our grou~ would
break into a lot of cliques, ' senior
Michael Hostinsky said. "But it
wasn't that way at all. We all had
different backgrounds at Wake,
and a lot of the people I had seen
around campus but never really
talked to. We ended up getting to
know each other really well."
The business school did not
begin offering this program as a
replacement for other study
abroad programs. "We encourage students to spend a semester
abroad," Harrison said, "and the
Calloway school will work individually with students to fit it into
their schedules."
The purposes of Calloway's own
four-week summer abroad program are to give business majors
a glimpse of how companies op-

erate internationally and to give
them an opportunity to be exposed to businesses they would
not see otherwise.
"We hope for students to gain a
better understanding and appreciation for global business.
Whether students work in an international or domestic location,
they will always be working with
a culturally diverse work force,"
Harrison said. Students agree that
this goal was met.
"This was an unbelievable way
to get credit toward your major
while visiting places you may
never see again in your life,"
Burney said.
Students stayed in hotels exceptin London and Venice, where
they were able to stay in the
university's Worrell House and
CasaArtom.
"The setup is perfect," Burney
said. "You have a decent place to
stay and everything is organized.
Professor Harrison is there to recommend things to do and things
to avoid. There's no stress."
The trip is open to rising seniors
who are majoring in business.
Harrison recommends that students estimate the total cost for
the trip to be $5,000. This in-
eludes air and rail transportation,
hotel accommodations, summer
tuition, food and spending money.
"You can't put a price on it,"
Brown said. "This was. the first
time I'd ever been to Europe, and
the experience was well worth the
cost."
Travel grants and merit based
scholarships are available through
the Calloway school and International Studies. There is no language requirement. Applications
will be available beginning late
November and any interested student may speak to Harrison at the
Calloway school.

Drop I add follows successful fall registration -,
By Elizabeth Turnbull
After the first semester of online registration started off the year with somethingnew, students still got to experience
the traditional handwritten class adding
process Sept. 8. Although not done online,
the drop/add process runs smoothly and
gets good reviews.
"The drop/add process was reasonably efficient and allowed me to get the
classes I needed," freshman Michael
Gastaldo said.
The steps to drop/add a class are relatively simple. The student must pick up a
pink add slip or green drop slip from the
registrar's office. The student must then
fill out the slip and get the required
signatures from the adviser and professor.
The final step is to turn in the completed slip to the Registrar's office. This is
a relatively simple way to "beat the system" and get the classes you want.
The last day to add classes was Sept. 8,
and the last day to drop a class is Sept. 22.
Drop/ add is currently not done online,
although there was a certain amount of
drop/add registration allowed Aug. 21
and 22 and after freshman registration
was complete.
"I realize this is not the full drop/add
process that some people are hoping for,
but, we are reviewing our options now
that we have this great new online process in place," Registrar Dot Sugden said.
She also said that she is "personally hoping that we can make the situation easier
for students."
Sugden emphasized that the Registrar's
office is open to suggestions and "would
love input from the students." Whenever
there is a problem, students should seek
help from the Registrar's office or the
dean's office.
"The drop I add process was reasonably
efficient and allowed me to get the
classes I needed."

Freshman
"We truly try to help each student. We
do want to give personal service.... Please
help us help you." Sugden said. She also
said that if there is a group of students
who would like to meet with her to discuss what could be done to improve the
drop/add system, she welcomes them
and their input.
The university conducted its first full
online registration Aug. 23 and 24, a
suitable milestone for the year of Science
and Technology. This marked yet another milestone in the goal for completely computer-literate students. The
Class of 2003 completes the goal for all
students to have an lBM ThinkPad and
printer and was also the 'first fun freshman class to register online. The idea was
thatbyusingtheir laptops, students would
be able to register for fall classes without
ever leaving their room. Except for a few
glitches, this goal was met.
According to Jay Dominick, assistant
vice president, for a "first major attempt
at such a complicated process, things
went pretty well."
There were, however, a few glitches in
the system. It took some students up to 30
minutes to log into the Wake Forest Information Network. Information Systems says most of the log-in problems
were resolved by the evening of Aug. 23
and "from that point, registration went
very smoothly."
"A few problems resulted from· students shutting down Netscape or turning
off their computers before completing
Intoxicated student drives

A student was issued a state citation on
Sept. 5 for driving while intoxicated and
driving while his license was revoked.
The student was stopped around 1 a.m.
on Wake Forest Road. The incident was
forwarded to the dean's office.
A door and a lock in Benson University
Center's food court were damaged between
12:03 a.m. and 12:40 a.m. Sept. 4. Damage
was estimated at $400.
Someone apparently walked on a
student's vehicle parked in Lot A behind
Efird Residence Hall between 8:30 p.m.
Sept. 3 and 3 p.m. Sept. 4. Damage to the
vehicle was estimated at $800.
The Kappa Deltas get ready to go into their weekly chapter meeting in Benson 401. Women's rush begins Jan. 7, when the

There were also several reported cases in
which students wound up with no classes
at all.
Freshman Anna Moseley had a late
registration time and experienced difficulty and frustration trying to find any
available courses that she wanted or
needed for her intended major.
However, she did say that "the actual
process went easily, and ifl had an earlier

Other freshmen seemed very content
with the process; most complaints were
about the amount of time that it took to

Most upperclassmen seemed to like

in previous semesters, sophomore Mark
Walley preferred the online to the traditional method. "It was more convenient
and faster," Walley said.

Many STARS choose to take
summer internships through the
program, which can be a great
way to earn money, gain experience in the field and build a
resume.
The internships are for both
profit and non-profit organizations, although students are paid
in either case.
In the case of an internship with
a non-profit organization, tlie student is paid by the STARS program through the Jesse Ball
Dupont grant, and profit-making
companies pay the interns them·
selves.

is the opportunity provided to the

to build friendships with them
that will last far beyond their educational experiences.

they don't remember the last time a stadium was
"packed." Many students say that their only reason
for going to football games is for the tailgate. The
book describes students' academic behavior as hon·
esty and integrity in an environment where "everyone studies."
"I know everyone doesn't study, because I didn't
start until this year," junior Sarah Campbell said.
Students vigorously disagreed with the book's statement that "no one cheats." The university has a
strict honor code, but that doesn't necessarily mean
it's followed.
"There are guidelines, but there are plenty of
breaches because of academic pressure," senior
Shaine Orlowsky said.
Campbell cited the abundant amount of fake IDs
on campus to point out exactly how deep adherence
to integrity runs.
Another area of disagreement is that of social life.
In argument with the book, students say they do

"hump day drinking" on Wednesday nights is practically a university tradition.
The book's quote, "If you want to have sex, Wake
Forest is not the place," surpiised many. Students
agree that there is no lack of sexual activity on
campus, and some worry that there is too much
casual, unprotected sex.
No one said that they see the campus as the
"monastery" described by the article.
The university is depicted as a conservative student body of cookie-cutter images. The personality
is pinned down to "southern hospitality" creating an
environment where everyone gets along. The only
exception noted was interracial interaction.
Students agree tl1at on the surface everyone seems
pretty nice and welcoming, but many believe that's
as far as it goes.
"Southern hospitality is a nice way of saying

Campbelf agrees and go~s on to say that people
are nice .as long as they are of the same religion, race

Iwata's job keeps her in touch with students
By Elizabeth Turnbull
As director of the Benson University
Center,]oanna Iwata is dedicated to helping others and bringing the university
community closer together. She faces
daily challenges and frustrations, but
through it all she holds firmly to her
motto: "Life is too short not to be joyful."
Iwata was born and raised in southern
California. She obtained her bachelor of
arts degree from the University of Southem California, where she double-majored in Japanese/East Asian studies and
Spanish.
She went on to receive her master's
degree in Latin American studies from
the University of the Pacific in Northern
California.
With encouragement from her mentor, the dean of women at USC, Iwata
returned to her alma mater and took a job
as the adviser to international students.
When she found out she could make a
career out of working
with students, Iwata
says, she was hooked.
Iwata has been
working with student
activities since 1980.
She has worked on
seven campuses from
the east to the west
coast, and even in the
Iwata
Pacific Rim in Hawaii, where she was dean of students at
Chaminade University. Iwata also spent
some time working for the Center for
Creative Leadership, a non-profit North
Carolina organization famous for its Cooperate Leadership Training Program.
In addition, she served as the director of
student activities at Guilford College,
and she was acting dean of students her
fourth year at Guilford. Iwata became
Benson's director injanu~ 1995.
"My job is multi-faceted, Iwata said.
"It's almost as if I'm running a hotel
without beds," she said when describing
her operations responsibilities.
Iwata manages the facilities through
the operations manager and custodial
staff.
She also oversees the training of new
and current employees, many of whom
are university
students.
But her favorite and perhaps
most difficult job
is running the
Benson activities.
It is in this area that Iwata shines and
comes alive. She hosts the Discovery
Series, an interactive talk show. She also
organizes activities to enhance on-campus race relations. For example, last year
Benson hosted a student heritage festival
with booths representing different cultures and nationalities, providing ethnic
foods for students to taste. More than 20
student-run groups participated in the
activity.
Another special Benson program is the
annual Festival of Lights during the holiday season.
Iwata also works closely with the Student Union, the campus group responsible for hosting activities and events
such as lectures, coffeehouses, family
weekend and SpringFest.
When asked why she chose her position as director of Benson, Iwata had a
long list of reasons. She liked the climate
and received a positive impression of the
people, especially the students.

Iwata's favorite perk about her job is

She also loves
being able to take

Iwata regrets that there are not enough
hours in the day to do the kinds of
activities and creative projects that she
would like to orchestrate, but enjoys the
opportunity to do what she does.
"I think it's really important for administrators to be active and supportive
in student organizations," Iwata said.
Senior Barry Lewis, the president of
SU, said Iwata is always willing to help.
Last year during Family Weekend when
SU was trying to obtain permission to
allow parking on Davis Field, the organization ran into a mess of red tape.
Immediately, Iwata jumped in anrl volunteered to help.
"She's very dedicated to her job and

still a challenge with how we understand

us."
Iwata wishes to incorporate everyone
and get students involved in campus activities, especially independents, international students and those who commute.
Although Iwata is in her office from 8:30
a.m. until after 5 p.m. many days, she still
finds time to have a "real life."
One of the most important parts of
Iwata's life is her 8-year-old daughter,
Noelani, who was born and raised inNorth
Carolina. Noelani lives with her father in
Hawaii.
Iwata likes to hula and swing dance.
When she worked at UNC-Greensboro,
she was a member of the ballroom dance
team. She also composes music on the
guitar and piano.
Iwata loves photography, especially
photographing natural landscapes. Two
years ago she began writing guest editorials for the Old Gold and Black:, she now
writes frequent column about different
student activities and events. She also
writes for the Book ofDays, published by

Benson's Discovery
Series starts fifth year
By Anna Lee
On most Tuesday mornings at 11 a.m.,
the rotunda on the third floor of the Benson
University Center is filled with students
quietly studying, but on one Tuesday each
month the Discovery Series transforms
this area into a forum for lively discussion
and debate.
These informal discussions are structured much like a talk show, running from
11 a.m. until noon.
At each forum, panelists, which include
faculty, students and guests from the community, discuss their views on a specific
~
ic.
oannalwata, the director of the Benson
niversity Center, serves as the moderator for the series and facilitates discussion
between the panelists and audience members.
"It is really interesting to watch the
interactive dynamic," she said.
Iwata said that the average size of the
audience is about 40 people, but attendance has been as high as 100.
"Size doesn't faze me," she said. "If one
person can leave with one new insight,
then we have done something positive."
The program was conceived four years
ago after a series of conversations about
campus climate.
These discussions revealed a need to
better integrate the academic and social
realms of the campus.
The Discovery Series achieves this goal
by bringing together faculty and students
to talk about serious topics in an informal
setting.
"The series allows students to experience a different way ofbeing with professors that they would not ordinarily get,"
Iwata said.
The content of the series is diverse.
Some of the topics focus on current social
issues, such as euthanasia and father/
daughter relationships, and others examine philosophical questions such as "What
Creates Happiness?"
Iwata said that she tries to select topics
by staying in tune with the students and
what they are talking about.
Some of the topics for the upcoming
year include: "Are You Your Birth Order?";"A Profile on Teenage Violence";
"To Tell the Truth: What Makes Us
Lie?"; and "Wasting Away: Another Look
at Eating Disorders."
Other topics will tie into the university's
theme year of science and technology.
One installment of the series will address cloning and another will be about
bionics.
The series will begin this fall and continue into the spring semester.

"The University does not ... want

Groves said that when he read a
section in the report referring to
"the prevailing collective wistom"
of the church, his initial reaction
was that in the 1950s and '60s
African-Americans worshiped in
separate churches, and it was the
university administration that
made the first step in desegregating the university culture.

report," Cox said, "and I think

In a statement released shortly
after the report was issued, Hearn
defended the committee's decision by questioning the role that
the university should play in "establishing matters of faith and religious practice. .. . Universities
are forums for enlightened discussion and debate, but not for
setting or endorsing particular elements of religious doctrine."
The primary issue in question is
the 1997 request of homosexual
couple Susan Parker, a university
Divinity School student, and
Wendy Scott to be joined in union
in Wait Chapel. The two had petitioned the board of trustees to
hold a ceremony this fall, but they
have been forced to push back
their union date while awaiting an
official decision from both the
university and the church. Groves

Finding a spot is not the only problem;
not getting ticketed is another.
Several students have already received
tickets. According to parking management, there have been 158 tickets that
involve fines issued already this semester, as well as more than 350 warning
tickets.
The tickets can vary in fines from $20
to $70.
Violations can range from failure to
register to parking in restricted, faculty or
handicapped areas.
"I hope that I can successfully avoid
tickets this year," sophomore Sara Shaw.
"But I am not so sure. A couple of my
friends have already gotten tickets."
Lawson said, ~We have a parking perception problem on campus. Parking is
tight and limited on weekdays. However,
the real problem is that students choose
to pursue desirable parking spots rather
then available spots; this applies to the
commuting students as well. It is wise to
use all lots and not relocate your car
during the hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m."

Although damage to Yocum's

said he tried to contact the women
after learning of the university's
decision, but was unable to do so.
There had been speculation that
the university's decision would
be withheld until the trustees'
meeting in October, but the committee worked independently of
the trustees. According to Cox,
"The ad hoc committee was as·
signed to prepare it, and they did
. .. and the trustees have been
infonned."
Groves said that he and his con·
gregation were not expecting a
decision this early. He said that he
had tried to set up a meeting with
the committee during the sum·
mer to discuss the church's posi·
tion but had not received any
feedback until now. "I have no
idea what action the church will
take," Groves said. "There were
talks at church (Sept. 8), and I
made copies of the report and
distributed it."
Until Sept. 8, uncertainty had
douded the university's position ·
on the matter, as administrative
officials had refused to speculate
on an actual decision until one
was reached.
"I've heard them say that the
committee is looking at it," Cox
said, "but we have not gone beyond that in the past. There may
have been bystanders who may
have speculated one way or the
other."
Cox declined to comment on
what implications the university
might face had a different deci·
sion been reached.
"I think that the trustees delib·
erated independently and came
to their best recommendation and
brought it to their chair," he said.
"I'm not going to speculate one
way or the other whether there
was any pressure on the university."
He also said that these types ol
changes have been made on
Wachovia's other campus offices.
In defense of the new plan, he
said, "We'll try never to shut the
door on a customer. We have a
good relationship with Wake For·
est students, and we don't want to
damage it.
"We will continue to keep om
eye on the situation. But people
can expect significant improve·
ment in our speed of service during the next few weeks," he said.
At present, all of the damages,
even those in the first-floor apartment, are Yocum's responsibility.
"Ifa student causes the damage,
then the student is responsible,"
Carson said.
The cost of the damages has not
yet been assessed. "It's too early
to tell," Carson said. "There will
be some personal costs for per·
sonal damage and facility costs
for the building itself."
Meanwhile Yocum is trying to
adjust to the putrid smell the sprin ·

she sorts through the remaining

nity for years?
In addition, the university's regression to this closed-minded doctrine
clearly shows that this week's decision
was not done out of sincere respect but
rather out of convenience; relying on
the church's "prevailing collective
wisdom" allowed the university to
avoid standing up for the ideafs its nondiscrimination code endorses.
Furthermore, nothing in this world
stays constant for long periods of time.
Human beings change. Opinions
change. Morals and beliefs change.
People's opinions on same-sex unions
have changed in the last several years.
Just look at Wake Forest Baptist
Church.
Thus, relying on "collective wisdom"
when it comes to decision making only
hides people from the truth.
What was thought to be right 100
years ago is not necessruily correct
today.
Basing decisions on guidelines set in
the past, as this university has done, is
just an attempt to avoid this inevitable
change.
This school has a comprehensive
non-discrimination policy that states
discrimination based on sexual orientation, race and gender will not be
tolerated. In a press release issued Sept.
8, University President Thomas K.
Hearn Jr. said that this university still
honors such a policy.
Yet he goes on to state that establishing topics of faith and religious practice
are not the role of any school, and
therefore, this policy does not apply to
matters such as same-sex unions.
"Universities are forums for enlightened discussion and debate," he said.
Unfortunately, the way the subcommittee of trustees has dealt with this
matter was hardly "enlightened" but
close-minded.

But it didn't have to make this

the church's decision to stand.

This community knows all too well
about Westboro Baptist Church, the
anti-gay congregation based in Topeka,
Kan.
For nearly a year, Westboro threatened this university with anti-gay
propaganda and even came to Winston-Salem to protest our non-discrimination policy last November.
Many at our school, however, rose
against the group's ignorant beliefs and
stood strong behind our own antibigotry, anti-racist views. With the
trustees' decision on srune-sex unions,
another force has invaded our crunpus
with anti-homosexual sentiment.
Hopefully, many in our community
will once again fight such notions and
stand firm behind their own.

University cowers
with same-sex decision
four-person ad hoc sub
committee of the board of
trustees has decided to
prohibit Wendy Scott and
Susan Parker from committing
themselves to one another in a
ceremony that would have taken
place in the university-owned Wait
Chapel.
The committee's decision comes
one year after Wake Forest Baptist
Church, in an unprecedented move
within its congregation, decided to
permit same-sex unions held in its
own sancturuies and by its own
ministers.
After putting the lives of Scott and
Parker on hold for nearly a year and
forcing them to postpone their
original union date of Aug. 28, the
committee went on to make a
decision this week that was as
hypocritical and cowardly as it was
belated.
According to a press release issued
Sept. 8, the university's decision was
based on its historical ties with the
Baptist Church, not its current
associations.
"Although Wake Forest no longer
has any governance relationship
with the Baptist State Convention of
North Carolina, the University
honors and respects its Baf.tist
heritage," the report said. Since the
University is not prepared to render
an ecclesiastical judgement, there is
no compelling reason not to respect
the prevailing collective wisdom of
the Christian church regarding this
decision."
However, this respect for the
"prevailing collective wisdom of the
Christian church," must be
newfound, especially after the
school's battle with the Baptist
Church over selling beer in Shorty's
.occurred two years ago.
In the fall of 1997, the North
Carolina State Baptist Convention
voted on a resolution that expressed
"displeasure" with alcohol sales at
the on-campus coffeehouse. It
threatened to revoke scholarship
money if beer continued to be sold
at this school.
Nevertheless, the university opted
to continue selling alcohol at
Shorty's, disregarding the traditional
voice and opinions of the Baptist
church. If the university had a
sincere desire to adhere to the
traditional beliefs of the Baptist
church, it would have appeased
them when they argued against
selling beer.
Obviously, it had no such desire.
But now, a mere two years later, our
school is hiding under this blanket of
the Baptist church's "prevailing
collective wisdom" by preventing
this same-sex union from taking
place.
Why are we respecting the Baptist
tradition and not the Wake Forest
Baptist Church when the church has
been part of the university commu-

No one can prevent
underage drinking
All right. It's time for every
administrator, faculty member, and
st!tdent to accept what is truly
happening on this campus.
Year after year the rules, restrictions and penalties regarding underage drinking move farther and
farther into the realm of the absurd.
The ruling faction on this crunpus
consistently complains that incidences of alcohol abuse are on the
rise. This fact is not in dispute, but
it's ~e to wake up and realize why

the administration puts forth, the
noose is ever tightened in its ongoing
quest to purge our crunpus of that
ominous vice: underage drinking.
But this course of action as a whole
is intrinsically flawed.
What the "higher-ups" just can't
seem to grasp is that kids are going
to drink, no matter what. Furthermore, all of their efforts to curb
underage drinking are not only
futile, but in fact make matters
worse.

life. He has already decided that he

he was at will take the blame.
Kids are going to drink no matter
what. By creating a veritable police
state through limitations on parties, the
administration is forcing the student
body to be left with two options: 1.
Binge drink in your room before
heading to a party, or 2. Going off-

the university has always condemned

instead of walking to the q.uad more
and more students are getting in cars
and driving to a party then driving
home. As a side note, it's not hard to
see that on-crunpus restrictions led to
mass migrations to the off-crunpus
parties last rear, which in turn spawned
the hellish Off-Campus Housing
Policy."
The administration's blind adherence
to a "zero tolerance" alcohol policy is
not only naive, but is also creating
results which are in direct conflict with
its goals. Alcohol abuse is on the rise
because the university is forcing
students into situations eondQ.cive to
abuse. ·
·
So, what's to be done?
A campus with such a localized
population and Greek system
provides a golden opportunity for
party settings which can offer safer,
less abusive situations to those who
choose to drink.
If the aforementioned noose were
loosened, kids would be free to party
as they wish ON campus, relieving
the propensity to binge drink in
private rooms or drive under the
influence.
Kids are going to <4ink no matter
what. The administration can either
accept this and try to provide a
somewhat safe environment for
students, or it can remain steadfast in
its unenlightened policies and send
us further on this downward spiraling exercise in futility.

OR
A long list of 16 divisional and
,
basic requirements (more, if you
count fqreign-language prerequisitesj.'
hinders students from taking responsibility for their own education in the
lower division. In addition, the
required courses are such a diverse
mixture that a student seeking
coherence in his or her course
selections will be frustrated.
Not deterred by the large number
of requirements, which was only
recently increased by a freshman
seminar, the faculty is constraining
student choice in other ways. A few
years ago a fine arts division was
created. Nominally it did not add to
the total requirements. Nevertheless,
by mandating a particular slice of the
humanities, which previously had
been a voluntary. option, student
choice was further reduced. Last
year the faculty accepted a "quantitaq.ve thinking" requirement. Technically it does not add a required
course, but it does further prescribe
student choices. In the current year
the faculty might impose a "multicultural" restriction.
New curriculum constraints are
advocated, strangely enough, on the
grounds that existing requirements
are failing.
Division two exists in part to give
students practice in quantitative
thinking. However, when this
requirement fails to make everyone a
"quantitative thinker," our response
is yet another requirement When a
substantial foreign language and
literature requirement fails to make
everyone culturally aware, we
debate a new "multi-cultural"
requirement.
What will we do if these new
requirements fail to produce the
desired results? Still more requirements?
As faculty, we rationalize our
prescriptive curriculum on the
grounds that the required courses are
good for the student. However, the
,relevant question, which is never
considered, is whether the required
course is worth more than the alternative that the student freely would
have chosen. And that question

I know I did. I thought you had to

freedom that I felt like I could do
whatever I wanted. It was the
freedom that I felt in knowing that I
was God's child and that I was free
to know Him and to receive His
love. And sometimes it's as powerful
and shocking and liberating an
experience as standing beneath this
freezing water that's slapping against
your head and waking you up to the
world. Your breath comes in short
and freezing and you're alive. Per·

a fundamental part of every student's daily
campus life.
What is this mysterious yet inescapable
component of the university? The fust image
that should pop into mind is the picture of
the university's ARAMARK workers. The
group of people is determined to serve us the
same amount of contempt with our sandwiches as they do mustard. Anyone who has
yet to have had a run-in with the members of
our culinary staff must be part of the select
few who have never experienced campus
dining. For those of you who haven't, there's
nothing like watching the looks of embarrassment as the cooks verbally bash yet
another unsuspecting student.
Some may wonder why I feel I'm such an
authority on any subject since I've been here
only a little over two weeks. Well, as a
freshman who has no mode of transportation
to whisk her off to an eatery, my contact with
the food staff (three times a day for approximately 17 days) has become quite regular. In
that amount of time I've learned the ways in
which students might possibly get through
the entire process of buying lunch without
sending even a ripple through the world on
the other side of the glass. So as someone
who may better mankind by sharing her
experience with others, I hope this article
isn't taken lightly..Reax;\.learn.from.my • c' ' mistakes, and maybe.:we 'cart tiln'l the hellish
Benson University Center into a utopia of
fine dining.
It all started one Sunday night, I believe
the eve of my first Sunday here. The girls on
my hall and I decided to go to Benson to eat
dinner, an idea that we soon realized was
shared by a great many others on campus.
We entered the doors passing the cash
register as the sound of grease popping off of
the grill filled the air. Then, as one may
expect, we got in line behind a number of
others and began discussing our meal
choices. My decision was to take the healthy
route and order a veggie burger in order to
avoid the "freshman 15" for a little while
longer.
When my turn came, I kindly asked the
man who we'll call "John" for now if I could
please have a veggie burger, placing extra
emphasis on the please. I should admit now
that I had previously been warned of our
notorious food staff, so I made sure my
manners were adjusted accordingly. Then,
instead of simply replying like any civilized
person would, "I'm sorry, we're all out of
veggie burgers," the response I got almost
blew out my eardrums. "We ain't got none o'
them ... NEXT!"
At this point I watched John's eyes tum to
the person in line behind me. Despite the
fact that I was extremely embarrassed, I
decided to try one more time. "Ok, well,
then can I please get a grilled chicken
sandwich?" John turned to me with a glare ol
abhorrence, disbelieving that some puny
freshman would be audacious enough to ask
one of them, the employees of the university
dining service, to go out of his way and
actually cook. His response this time was
quite similar to the first, except the volume
was turned up a notch. "We ain't got any of
them, either... NEXT!" I quickly responded,
"What do you have?" hoping that we could
come to some type of compromise. However,John was just not going to give in.
"Why don't you go over there and figure it
out and then get back in line!"
After that last blow to my self-dignity, I
decided to give up my search for a warm
meal and settle for my 32nd turkey sand·
wich. However, I vowed never to rest until
after I had done all things possible to change
what tends to be a daily struggle between
those behind the counter and the students in
front.
This obvious tension between the students
and the cooks seems have been thickening
since the creation of the university. Be it the
fault of the students or the cooks, it needs to
be resolved. The extremely cordial temperament of the staff at Shorty's is proof that
there is still hope. So, I'll close by calling
everyone to action; maybe the cooks could
try a little harder to tone down the attitude
and the students could let them know just a
little more often that they're a vital part of
the campus community. Let's all raise our
trays now to "service with a smile," the new
theme for the 21st century.

Putting a vocal twist on current
secular music, Temporary
Reprieve's message is clearhave fun.
By Ross Inman
SOUL visited Human Service Alliance last April as part of its service Initiative.
The group hopes to expand on similar projects this semester.
A different kind of sisterhood
uses music and service to
encourage acceptance and
tmiversallove.
By Elizabeth Hoyle and Brian Schiller
Perpsectives Editors
This school year will be the first full
year of the campus' newest singing
group SOUL, Sisterhood of Universal
Love. This group was formed last year
following the division of Agape, a
female a cappella group. SOUL has a
focus unlike any other vocal group on
campus.
The three parts of the mission
statement embody their ideals: to
promote well being within their group,
among other groups at the university
and within the larger community. In
order to fulfill this mission statement,
SOUL has set very high standards for
itself.
Personal growth and spiritual
fulfillment through an environment of
unconditional acceptance is the
emphasis of SOUL. Members of
SOUL participate in several hours of
community service each week in an
effort to bring the members together to
help the community with music
serving as their primary outlet.
Another goal important for the
group is a diverse membership that
represents all races, religions, interests
and geographies. Their message of
acceptance of all people is a vital part
of the group's philosophy.
This can be seen in the groups
SOUL serves, such as last year's
performance at Human Service
Alliance.
Junior Aileen Socrates said, "It's not
just about rewards for ourselves. It
makes us realize how fortunate we are,
but it sends a message of hope to
others." This year she hopes the group
can continue to work and sing in
similar venues. Plans are being made
for a concert to support a Honduras
project, the HeadStart program, an
international conference and a
women's convention. SOUL also
hopes to set up a Web page and a
yearly retreat to nourish friendships
within the group.
Unfortunately, the~e new things will

be hard to accomplish without a
charter and funding from the Student
Budget Advisory Committee.
Socrates said, "It is imperative that
we get funds so that we can continue to
serve others. We have received love
offerings in the past, but with our
visions for the future, those will not be
sufficient. The group will be about us
last, but the money to build the sisterhood would be helpful."
As SOUL prepares for a new semester, it will hold auditions at 4:15 p.m.
Sept. 10 in Scales 306. Preceding the
auditions, the members will hold an
information session tonight at 7 p.m. in
the lobby of the Scales music wiiig.
The group is looking for women who
are individualistic yet service-centered.
"Cunently," Socrates said, "we have
girls who are music majors, girls who
come from gospel choirs and girls who
have had no experience in the past."
SOUL is most interested in freshmen
and sophomores and expects to take
five or six new members.Jeryl
Prescott, an assistant dean of the
college, is the adviser for the group.
Socrates said that Prescott embodies
the group's own goals of service and
connection with people.
Obligations to the group are two
days a week for two hours each day,
and one day is reserved for singing and
the other for service, Socrates said.
SOUL is a place that women can be
who they are and be appreciated for
their strengths while learning about
other people. Socrates said, "It's not
just about talking, it's about beingbeing who we are, being in service to
others and being spiritual."
Even among the goals of service and
faith, music is at the
heart of their organization. Socrates said that
the girls in the group
live their message and
put their values in
action.
She hopes that what
they have started will
carry on because SOUL
is not about the individual members. It is
about living Pro
Humanitate and seeing
the bigger picture at the
university.
After tryouts this past week,
Temporary Reprieve is now preparing for the year with a feeling of
confidence.
The fledgling, all-male singing
group had many hopefuls attend the
tryouts, but only a few will make the
final cut and be in the group of about
15. Even though Temporary Reprieve is one of the youngest groups

Goodridge resigns in protest of wife's dismissal
By Sean Blue
Sports Editor
John Goodridge resigned from his position as head coach of the men's cross
country and track and field teams Sept. 2,
citing unfair treatment of him and his
programs from the administration and
athletic director Ron Wellman.
Goodridge also cited what he felt was
the unfair dismissal of his wife, Francie
Goodridge, from her position as the head
coach of the women's cross country and
track and fiel!l teams this summer.
John Goodridge stated in his resignation letter that he was resigning "in pro-
test to Athletic Director Ron Wellman's
and Wake Forest University's cruel firing
of my wife Francie . . . as well as for
Wellman's repeated retaliatory actions
directed toward me and theWake Forest
Men's Track and Field Cross Country
Program."
.
Wellman declined to comment on these
allegations, saying he did not want to get
into a verbal war with Goodridge.
Goodridge also cited emotional reasons for resigning when he said "Francie
has remained silent over her firing for
fear of further harsher retaliation by
Wellman against me and my program,

the whole game and was out of
there by 8:30 p.m.
It's not just volleyball, though. The majority
of sports on this campus are treated this way by
the fans. With the exception of basketball,
football, baseball and soccer, the varsity sports
on this campus do not get much recognition
from the students. Except, ofcourse, when they
are losing.
For all you fans who constantly trash the
women's basketball team - when was the last
time you actually watched a game?
What is wrong with you people? We have
some of the top-ranked teams in the country at
this university. When was the last time you
watched our nationally ranked field hockey
team play a match? Or our tennis teams, which
boast a few of the top-ranked players in the
NCAA?
These are exciting sports. The field hockey
team has recorded two shutouts in its last three
games and is undefeated. It does not get the
publicity on campus that a few other sports do
just because they do not generate revenue for
d1e university. The team is still something to be
proud of, though.
Our non-revenue sports also play a wider
variety of teams than the revenue sports do
because they have more games and play outside the ACC more often. So there is a better
chance of seeing the Deacons beat your friend
from back home's school and getting bragging
rights.
We have the Screamin' Demons and the
Freakin' Deacons, but they only go to football
and basketball games. Why not expand a little
bit and take in a few games from the other
sports? I'm not saying they have to go to every
game (although this is not a bad idea), but they
could at least put it on their schedule to go to at
least one home game for every non-revenue
sport.

The women's cross country team got
their season off on thr right foot Sept. 4
when the defending champs placed second in their opening meet of theJear, the
Mountain Invitational. Talente veteran
Janelle Kraus, a senior, led the way for
the Demon Deacons as she captured her
third consecutive individual title on the
course.
South Florida finished with 28 points
to win the team title, while a half-strength
Deacon squad that held out three of their
projected top eight runners placed second, 11 points off the pace.
"We held out Jill (Snyder), Allison
(Anibaldi) and Kathleen (Kuhnert), because they came in to training a little
banged up from the summer and I didn't
want to race them and take any chances
on injuries this early in the year," Head
Coach Annie Bennett said.
Although the team was unable to defend the title it won in Blowing Rock last
year, Kraus' performance was brilliant as
usual. Her time of I7:28 over the 5,000meter course put her 30 seconds ahead of
her closest competition, and it was good
enough to reclaim the title that she
brought home in each of the past two
years.
She was named the ACC Performer of

Colo. The Deacs took the tournament championship, winning
both oftheir games and improving to 3-0 overall on the year.

The Deacs picked up the first
win Sept. 3, defeating Denver
University by a count of 3-0.
The Deacs controlled play,

Sophomore Sarah Kate
Noftsinger notched her second
goal in as many games, beginning the scoring at 19: 17 of the
first half off of an assist from
sophomore Emily Taggart. That
was the extent of the scoring in
the first half, though, and the
Deacs headed to the locker room
with a 1-0 advantage at halftime.
The Demon Deacons wasted
no time extending their lead after the intermission, as junior
Christie Melby put one past the
Denver goalkeeper just 35 seconds into the second half. Freshman Gabi Lieb added an assist
on Melby's goal.
Just over six minutes later,
ShroP.shire struck for the Deacons third goal off ahelper from
freshman Lindsey Griffin. The
goal gave the Deacs a 3-0 lead,
and proved to be the game's
final tally, as neither of the two
teams were able to score for the
remainder of the game.
Deacon goalkeepers sophomore Erin Regan and senior
Beth Klein combined on the
shutout, although the two combined to record just three saves,
two for Regan and one for Klein.
According to Head Coach
Tony da Luz, it took some time

The second game of the tournament proved more difficult,
as the Deacs snuck past Air
Force, 2-1 Sept. 5. Freshman Liz
McDowell played the role of
heroine, scoring with less than
five minutes remaining to give
the Deacons the victory and
preserve their unblemished
record of 3-0 for the season.
The Deacons got on the board
first, as junior Christie Melby
netted her second goal of the
tournament at 19:50 of the first
period off a pass from freshman
Griffin.
Air Force knotted the game
20 minutes later, as KariJames
took a pass from Evelyn Calley
and chipped it into the upper
part of the goal.
The store remained 1-1 for
the rest of the first half and the
majority of the second, setting
the stage for McDowell's heroics in the 85th minute. Mter
stealing the ball in the box,
McDowell hit a perfectly placed
shot into the far corner of the
net.
Although happy with the outcome, da Luz was a bit disappointed with his team's play
against Air Force. "I really feel
we dominated play," daLuzsaid.
"We could have had about four
more goals in the first half, and
we gave up a fluke goal. It was
good for the freshmen to be
under a little pressure, though."
De
(
CaJ
"Overall, the weekend· was a
good experience," da Luz said.
"Air Force was a good team.
They play hard and wouldn't
give up."
The victory against Air Force
came at a price, though. Taggart
was fouled hard by an Air Force
opponent and strained her medial collateral ligament in her
knee. Taggart is questionable for
this week's upcoming Wake Forest/Nike Invitational.
Once again, the Deacons controlled play, claiming a 13-3 advantage in shots and a 7-0 edge
in corner kicks. Air Force goalkeeper Kristy Kuhlman played
superbly, making 10 saves. The
Deacon goalie turned away only
one shot in earning the' rictory.
This weekend the Deacons will
host the WakeForest/Nikelnvitational tournament at Spry Stadium, where they will face foes
Oregon and UCLA. The Deacs
will take on Oregon at 7:30p.m.
Sept. 10, and they will face
UCLA.

Field hockey rolls on with pair of victories
The Demon Deacons have
dominated foes with their
shmning offensive output fashion
so far this season.
By Daniel Ogle
The Demon Deacon women's field
hockey team is continuing with its early
season success. Mter beating Radford
7-1 Aug. 28, the Deacons defeated Louisville 8-0 Sept. 5 at Kentner Stadium.
The rains poured down as the Deacs
took to the Kentner Stadium turf, but
not even Mother Nature could contain
them from another dominating performance. The 8-0 blanking was a total
team performance, as the Deacons continue to get balanced scoring and solid
~: go*lteJ,u!~~;S9J?~.,.Q.lllQI,e Jre.AP.i.tr
Shelton;.. fiesliman ·neather Auglimbaugh and junior Jenny Everett, who
scored two goals apiece, led the scoring
for the Deacs.
Shelton opened up the scoring early
for the Deacons, scoring her first goal
less than three minutes into the contest.
She was very excited about scoring
early.
"It felt really good to score the first
goal, because the coaches wanted us to
score within the first five minutes,"
Shelton said.
SophomoreJemima Cameron scored
the second goal of the game for the
Deacons shortly after Shelton's goal, at
the four-minute mark. Aughinbaugh
scored her first of two goals to make the
score 3-0 in the first 10 minutes of the
game. Aughinbaugh was excited to help
contribute to the team as a freshman. "It
was fun and exciting (to score), and we
played really well as a team," she said.
Shelton notched her second goal of
the game to wrap up the scoring in the
first half. She was really excited about
her second goal, because it was something that the coaches had stressed in
practice.
"The second goal came on a rebound
off of a corner shot, which was something that we had worked on in practice
and was part of the game plan," she
said.
Everett opened up the scoring in the
second half with 14:17 remaining by
notching the first of her two goals.
Shortly after Everett's first goal,
Aughinbaugh notched her second of
the game. Everett notched her second
goal of the half with 8: 17 remaining,
and freshman Marlena Reese finished
the scoring for the Deacs with 7:23left.
Goalkeepers senior Meaghan Nitka
and junior Jaime Tressler continued
their dominating play by combining for
five saves en route to the first shutout of
the season for the Deacons.
The Deacs dominated every aspect of
the game against Louisville. They out.lihot .the Cardinals .43-5 and won more

As a result of her performance Sept.
5, Everett was named the ACC field
hockey Co-Player of the Week. Although Everett has stood out individually early on in the season, she gives
much of the credit to her teammates.
"My teatnmates have really helped me
out individually," she said.
The Deas have outscored their first
two opponents 15-1, out-shootingthem
70-7. Statistics such as these that have
some of the players thinking big about
the remainder of the season.
According to Shelton, the team is
running on all cylinders early in the
season. "The team is executing really
well right now," Shelton said.
Everett believes that this year's squad
is starting to mature and become more
comfortable with each other. "The team
is starting to understand our roles, and
we are learning to play together as a
team. We seem to get better each time
out," she said.
The Deacs return to action Sept. 11 at
Kentner Stadium at 1 p.m. to face the
Duke Blue Devils.

Golf looking to rebound VVrestlersregaUrrclub
from shock of last season
By Peter Bromaghirn
By Brian Barrett
It's not an easy task to be the
men's golf coach these days,
and Deacon head coach Jay
Haas is all too familiar with that
fact.
The third-season coach is
faced with the unattractive task
of helping the Deacons rebound from a season that saw
the team fail to qualify for the
NCAA tournament for the first
time in 32 years.
On top of that, Haas will have
to replace five graduated seniors from last year, including
team leader Michael Capone,
whose average score of 72.8
last year was good enough to
earn him the 66th ranking in
the nation.
Also departed are Oscar
Sanchez '99,Juan Vizcaya '99
and Thomas Parker '99, all of
whom saw quality time in varsity action.
The Demon Deacons will have
to come together in order to
compete with the tough
opponents on their schedule.
The four departed seniors,
along with current seniors
Jamie Gallacher and Ryan
Peiffer and sophomore Jay
Morgan, struggled to an eighthplace finish at last year's ACC
tournament.
However, all is not lost. In
the three returning players, the
Deacs return with bright prospects for the future.
Despite a lack of tournament
experience (only 26 tournaments combined among the
three), the threesome should
be able to provide strong leadership to a standout freshman
class and two sophomore high
school state champs who didn't
see too much action last year.
Sophomores Bart DeLuca
and Cortland Lowe are both
being counted on to contribute
this year. Brent Wanner, Chad
Wilfong, Buck Williams and
Chris Yoder round out the newcomers and will all be given a
shot at tournament experience
as freshmen.
Morgan will be counted on
to return to the form he displayed last fall. During that fall
season, Morgan shot for a 74.5
stroke average that was good
enough for second best on the
team.
The Demon Deacons will
have to come together in order
to compete with the tough opponents on their schedule.
The team will kick off the fall
campaign with a tournament
Sept.l1 in the Ridges Intercollegiate Tournament. The event
will be held at the Ridges Golf
& Country Club in Johnson
City, Tenn.
The university can add one
more club team to its active list
with the re-emergence of club
wrestling. Recent efforts, sparked
by an increase in interest, have
allowed for the once-chartered
sport's return to campus.
In keeping with the club sports'
"student run, student led" philosophy, professor Sam Weber
ofthe Divinity School has taken
the time to seek outstudentleaders and help them advertise and
approach the university about
the club's reinstatement.
"The administration has been
very cooperative, and it's great
to see this happen," Weber said.
The group held its first formal
meeting Sept. 7, and discussed
the many issues facing the new
program.
Newly elected club president
Dennis Grady is excited about
the recent developments and is
eager to return to the mat. "Most
people in the club have wrestled
before, maybe throughout high
school, and I for one miss it,"
Grady said.
Once a club receives its charter, it keeps it indefinitely, but
the club is budgeted by the university based on the number of
its participants and its needs.
Grady agrees that money will
be an early obstacle for the fledgling club.
"Our biggest concern is generating numbers right now so that
the school will grant us the funds
we need to operate," he said.
Once the details get worked
out, the club will be ready to
begin practice, tentatively slated
for Wednesday and Friday nights
beginning Sept. 15.
Practices will be held at Mt.
Tabor High School in WinstonSalem, since this university does
not have its own mat on campus.
"I don't foresee us getting a
mat this year, but with enough
interest next ~ar, we are hopeful of getting one," Grady said.
Accroding toWeber, the practices will be held with a local
AAU group of wrestlers of various ages, which should provide
a number of wrestlers at different weight classes and a variety
of styles of wrestling styles.

1es
Demon Deacons to kick off 1999 Goodridge
campaign against Black Knights
Thursday, September 9, 1999 B3
stated that the agenda would be revealed in the
legal process to come.
Goodridge leaves the team less than two weeks
before its season opener for cross country. Noel
Ruebel, who has served the last three years as the
assistant coach, was named the interim head coach.
"I worked for the man {Goodridge) for three
years and I learned a lot from him," Ruebel said.
Before coming to the Deacons, Ruebel spent one
year with Ohio State as an assistant coach and 13
years as an assistant coach at Perdue.
Ruebel said that the team was handling the
situation well. "They are in great shape attitude
wise. They want to preserve the past but look
forward to the future. They have an outstanding
base worth of training and had a coach that trained
them very well."
The Deacons have hired Bill Dellinger, a former
head cross country coach at Oregon for 32 years,
as the new assistant coach.
Dellirlger retired from Oregon following the
completion of last year's cross country season.
Dellirlger was hired by assistant athletic director
Barbara Walker who knew Dellirlger when she
was working at Oregon.
Dellirlger finished his 32-year career at Oregon
by being named the Pacific-! 0 cross country coach
of the year for the tenth time. During Dellinger's
tenure at Oregon, his teams earned 10 conference
championships, nine individual conference championships, four national championships and four
national individual championships.
Dellinger will focus mainly on the distance runners and the cross country program, and Ruebel
will handle the administrative responsibilities of
the head coaching position and continue to work
with the field events.

The Deacon football team opens their season
Sept. II when they face the Cadets of Army. This is
the second year in a row that the Deacs will open
their season against a service academy team; however, they are hoping for an outcome to be a little
different from last year's 42-0 routing at the hands of
Air Force.
Although the Deacons outweigh Army on both
the offensive and defensive side line, Army features
an option offense that could cause the Deacs some
problems. The Deacons will also be without senior
.· linebackers Dustin Lyman and Kelvin Moses and
· will be forced to start three sophomores at linebacker.
The Deacons are also youthful on their offensive
•line where they will start two sophomores. The
offense, though, should not be a problem for the
Deacons.

ey will face
positions for the Demon Deacs. They will depend
on senior Ben Sankey to run the passing game,
which he did very well during the preseason.
Overall the Deacons possess the advantage, with
27 returning seniors and 49 returning lettermen,
which means the Deacs possess one of the deepest
and most experienced teams irl the nation this
season.
The Deacons have squared off against Army nine
times in the past and led the series 5-4. Army owns
a 4-2 winning record against the Deacons when
playing at West Point, but the Deacons have won all
three meetings in the '90s.
Army's biggest threat will be its wishbone option
offense. Since switching to this offensive scheme in
1984, the Cadets have never finished below seventh irl the nation in rushing and led the nation last
year. If the young Deacons on defense can recognize and react to the Army running schemes, the
Cadets for be forced to take to the air against a
talented Deacon secondary.
This game will be difficult for the Deacs and
could possibly set the tone for the rest of their
season.

Wellman to sign a transfer student who was academically eligible and had finished third in last
year's NCAA cross country championships.
In response to these allegations, Wellnian said
that Goodridge did not use all of the scholarships
he had available to him lastyear; the track locker
room was renovated signiticantly two or three
years ago; and the track team did have a trainer
assigned to them like every other team on campus.
Goodridge said he could not comment on not
allowing the transfer student to be signed but the
reason had nothing to do with the track team.
Goodridge also stated that the retaliation against
him was because of"Francie's documented history
of trying to resolve Title IX issues with Wake
Forest including concerns dealing with medical
and safety issues for women athletes, scholarship
and staffing deficiencies."
Two years ago, a lawsuit was filed against the
university concerning Title IX issues. According
to Goodridge's letter, Wellman claimed that these
allegations were never an issue and were settled a
year ago.
Goodridge said that his wife was fired under the
pretense of student complaints but that the athletic
department and Wellman refused to put them irl
writing because, according to Goodridge, "they
ranged from petty to ludicrous to libelous."
In his resignation letter, Goodridge said,
"Wellman's action was a completely transparent,
attempted cover up for a planned agenda," and

Intramural sports have
experienced a steady
growth during the past few
years and are at an all-time
high.
By Sean Blue
Sports Editor
There has been a steady climb
in the number of students participating in intranmral sports Max
Floyd, the director of the campus
recreation department, recently
announced.
In I992, intramural flag foot-
ball fielded 40 teams. This year,
the department has signed up 102
teams, surpassing the century
mark for tlie first time irl school
history.
Also, intramural tennis has experienced a healthy growth to 47
singles players and 52 doubles
teams signed up for competition.
Water polo is holding steady with
20 teams, the same as last year.
The tennis program has become
so popular that the individual tennis season for the fall was revamped two years ago and has
seen drastic improvements in participation since that time.
This growth intramural competition is not beirlg ignored by the
.•
•·'
campus recreation department.
They are planning a few weekend
tournaments to offer more competition for students who want
more than one to two games a
week or that are unable to play
intramural seasons because cif
schedule conflicts.
Campus recreation has also
added new progrants such as outdoor pursuits and various aerobics programs.
These two programs have already received a lot of interest
from the students. Aerobics has
more than 100 students signed up
and outdoor pursuits has filled up
its spots for white water rafting
this semester.
· awesome job, a solid job, and
that's what we needed, Bennett
said.
As a team, the Deacs entered
the meet at Appalachian State
Universitywithsomeideaofwhat
to expect from the course and the
competition since they have
opened their season many times
in the past on this course.
Overall, Bennett was pleased
with the outcome of the meet.
"At this point, I'm more concerned with watching individuals and learningabouthowpeople
on the team compete. There were
a few girls that made mistakes
this week, but that's ok because
now is when you want to do that
and not later on in the year. The

see the difference in racing irl
division one up from division
two, and for the rest of the team
to get back into racing themselves, because had been a long
time since they had their last
meet," Bennett said
The coach put things in perspective.
"We have a long season ahead
of us and the end is what we're
looking at, with the ACC title as
our goal as always. You have to
remember that none of these
meets mean anything nationally
until after Sept. 25 for rankings,
and for consideration for the national championship qualification," she said.

Men's soccer team grinds out 2-1 win over Liberty
By Shaw Lentz
Sophomore Chris Lonteen struck two
first-half goals Sept. 8 to give the Demon
Deacon men's soccer team a 2-l win over
a stubborn Liberty team that played the
whole second half a man down.
Lonteen's double brace, his third goal
of the year, and the second two-goal
game of his career, looked to have set up
the Deacons for an easy win against the
Flame. However, poor finishing and a
packed in defense made sure that the
Deacons could not rest easy until the final
whistle_
The Deacons opened the attack quickly
in the game, as Lon teen took a cross from
freshman Adam Hakes on the head, but
the final shot was wide. The plan of the
underdog Flame then became apparent
as often eight men were kept behind the
ball while the Deacons patiently probed,
playing the ball around in midfield. The
defensive tactic was successful when, on
a corner from Flame midfielder Derek
Avilez, an unmarkedjason Streets redirected the service past a helpless senior
goalkeeper Sean Conner.
The Deacons then took the initiative
and pressed the compact Flame defense.
Senior David Kawesi-Mukooza took on
and beat his man on the right side in the
12th minute, but senior striker Greg
Krauss was unable to connect Krauss
again had a chance six minutes later
when he was sent free in the box, but a
last-second tackle ended that chance.
The equalizer always looked likely and
Lonteen made it so in the 23rd minute
with a heavy bending shotfrom nearly 25
yards out. A free kick by junior Brock
Hilpert was won at the top of the box by
Krauss, Hakes knocked it down at the top
ofthe box, and Lonteen needed all of his
talent to take the moving ball with the
outside of his right boot and steer it into
the back of the net.
Three minutes later, Lonteen used a bit
more ofluck than skill to notch his second.
Sophomore Jamal Seale's free kick found
Lon teen's head, and the looping shot somehow found its way under the crossbar past
the sprawling Liberty goalkeeper.
The second half saw countless Demon
Deacon chances fall unfulfilled_ In the
47th minute, Litovka led a three-on-one
with freshman Andy Rosenband on the
left and Krauss on the right, but he waited
a little too long to release the freshman
No. 10 who was offside_
Two minutes later, Stafford, dangerous
all night, met a freshman Paul Vogel
cross, but his header was well saved.
Liberty's most dangerous player in the
second half, Kian Brownlee, then saw the
first of his two dangerous chances saved
well by Conner.
A series of missed chances in front of
goal ensued for the Deacons, as first a
Jamal Seale cross was screwed wide by
Li tov ka. Seale himself was guilty of poor
composure in front of goal in the 58th
minute. He beat the Liberty offside trap
and rounded the keeper with ellSe, but
his attempted shot at the open goal was
hit wide. Five minutes later, Lonteen
rushed down the right side in search of
his hat trick, his attempted cross tojaron
Barbee was deflected back to him, but he
skied his attempt over the goal.
The Deacs outshot the Flame by 14 to 5,
and Conner was really troubled only twice.
In earlier action, the Demon Deacons
overcame the College of Charleston 2-1
Sept. 5. Sophomore Matt Thompson
scored the first goal in the 42nd minute.
Senior Chad Evans headed a corner kick
from Seale off the bar, and Thompson
crashed home the rebound. In the 63rd
minute, some defensive miscues from
the Deacons led to the equalizer from
Alan Greenidge. Off a throw in, KawesiMukooza failed to get a head on the ball.
The resulting shot rebounded to
Greenidge, who put the ball in from
about six yards out.
Thompson's fellow wing-back, Vogel,
found the winner for the Deacons in the
66th minute. Rosenband fed the ball to
Stafford, who took on two defenders and
then laid off a pass to V agel. His nearpost shot beat the keeper for the winner.
Deacon Head Coachjay Vidovich was
pleased with the strikes of the two players
who are looked to more for service than
finishing. "Their job is to cover the outside channels, get down the lines and
provide service from the flanks," he said.
Vidovich was concerned with some
defensive lapses and breaks in concentration against a team who, like Liberty
last night, chose mainly to pack in the
defense. "There were too many moments
when we made the game harder for us
and easier for them. We need to have the
patience to play against teams that don't
want to play and give us a physical pounding," Vidovich said. The Deacs outshot
their opponents 9-8.

These athletes work very
hard to be the best they can
and to represent our university to the rest of the worlq.
And they do an extremely fine
job at it. There are four teams
ranked in the Top 25 nationally for their respective sports
this week.
The men's soccer team is
ranked 20th, women's soccer
is ranked 21st, women's golf is
ranked 20th and field hockey
is ranked 20th.
Home court advantage is
supposed to mean something.
If the students do not show up
to support their teams, then
homecourt advantage means
nothing. An athletic field is
fairly similar no matter where
you are_ It's the fans who make
the difference.
The least we could do is show
up at a few matches and show
our appreciation.

will be contributions from each

it will "push the group in practice

strong freshmen recruits and, in
particular, freshman Eddie Acosta
from Miami, will greatly help their
chances. Eddie was one of the Foot

For those students who appreciate poetry, the Wake Forest University PresS'
recently published a collection of Irish
women's verse.
Titled

anthology is
the first book of

The book features poetry from nine
Irish women including material written
from 1967 to the present.
Spanning more than 300 pages, the
anthology offers a thorough representation of each poet's work by dividing the
book into nine different, substantial sections showcasing the work of each of the
talented women.

forth excellent performances.
Dylan's set included many of
the songs that launched his career
in the '60s, such as "Mr. Tambourine Man," "Like a Rolling Stone"
and a beautifully mellow version
of "It Ain't Me Babe." He also
included his Blood on the Tracks hit
"Tangled Up in Blue" and the
more recently written "Not Dark
Yet" offhis 1997 Grammy awardwinning Time Out ofMind.
With his legendary harmonica
solos and the classic hits that forever changed the face of music,
Dylan kept the crowd on their
feet throughout his set, which
lasted about an hour and a half.
Vocally, Dylan sounded much
better than in some of his previous performances from the last
few years, such as his MTV Unplugged album from 1995.
Dylan stayed on stage in the
middle ofthe show and performed
foursongswithSimon. One would
think that both legends on stage
would combine for the concert's
highlight. This, however, was far
from the case.
The duo started with Simon's
"The Boxer" and also played
Dylan's "Kncckin' on Heaven's
Door." The choice of music could
not have been any more perfect
for such a show, but together,
Dylan and Simon seemed out of
sync. Simon's voice was barely
detectable, as Dylan's raspy voice
overshadowed him throughout

the preface, she notes that "the politics of
each poet is inflected by individual concerns, be they of gender or class or ethnic
identification."
O'Brien's preface includes various brief
literary histories of each of the poets and
critiques of some of the poems. O'Brien
also points out that all of the women
represented in the anthology come from
various different social classes and different areas of Ireland, and they observe
different lifestyles and different poetic
influences.
This anthology has already received
praise from other authors who note the
richness of the poetry and extraordinary
talent of each of these writers.
The Wake Forest Book of Irish Women's
Poetry 1967-2000paints an accurate landscape of the feelings and troubles oflrish
women and presents them as a package
of exceptionally written poetry. The anthology costs $17.95. For more information, call the press at Ext. 5448 or visit

Bob Dylan and Paul Simon,
both 57 and former Grammyaward winners, hit the road in
early June, embarking on what
was planned to be a 30-date U.S
tour that brought them from Colorado to New York. Although the
duo had been performing individually for nearly 30 years, this
tour marked the first time in that
spanthatbothlegendshadplayed
together.
From the opening night of the
tour, it seemed as if the collaboration should have happened a long
time ago. Concerts across the
country were well attended, and
reviewers and fans alike praised
that both Dylan and Simon hadn't
missed a beat over the years.
The positive results of the initial
tour sparked Dylan and Simon to
embark on a second leg, 10-city
tour throughout September.

OLD GOLD AND BLACK
By Carmen Tong
Film buffs will be pleased to know that seniorJohn
Leonard is bringing a weekly series to campus that
will give students a chance to see classic movies free
of charge.
The idea came to
Leonard through a
project that he did for a
fUm class last fall. Assistant professor ofEnglish
Lisa Sternlieb, who
taught the class, detected
Leonard's keen interest
in old films and suggested that he continue
his film series project.
He did, and now he has
Leonard
plans to bring these classics to Pugh Auditorium.
Among the films lined up for the year are Some
Like it Ho~ Rear Window, La Dolce Vida, Preparez vos
Mouchoirs (a.k.a. Get Out Your Handkerchief'), Fu Shi
Lian Qu (a.k.a. To Live), T11e Miracle ofMorgan 1- Creek,
Annie Hall, The Heiress, Cool Hand Luke, Visknigar och
rop (a.k.a. Cries and Whispers) and Meet john Doe.
Some of these movies were originally released
two generations before Leonard was even around to
make it to the theater, and many of them are not
shown regularly on television.
However, Leonard remains dedicated to the idea
of making students aware of the great films that were
produced before the movie industry became completely immersed in cutting-edge special effects and
media over-exposure.
"These fllms are forgotten ... something parents
knew about, but just forgot to tell us," Leonard said.
When asked what distinguishes these old films
from the films made in recent times, Leonard said:
"It's the quality."
He believes that the directors of these old movies
were among the best in the profession. The content
and plot of the movies should also be noted for their
cleverness and wit.
Essentially, Leonard believes that these fllms are
well-made and should get the credit that they deserve. This the main reason he decided to create a
forum for the student body to enjoy them.
The films in the series will be shown from 6 to 8:30
p.m. Tuesdays in Pugh. Admission to every film in
the series is free.
During the fall of every academic year at this
university, the Anthony Aston players present two
theatrical experiences that are usually pleasing to
the student body as well as the rest of the.au,9ience
that views them. And this season is no exception.
With two beautifully written pieces of theater
entitled Keely & Du and Three Days of Rain, the
student-run theater group has one of its most
promising falls to date. The latter, directed by
senior Bill Diggle, goes up Sept. 16 and drops its
curtain two nights later.
Three Days ofRain was originally conceived by
Kourtney Vahle '99, who proposed the work for
consideration to the reading committee last spring;
after a close vote Rain won the right to represent
Anthony Aston in the first slot of the fall season.
Setting up this story line is a tough endeavor, so
I will resign myself to the fact that I cannot possibly
describe this event well enough in print. In order
to fully appreciate Three Days it must be viewed on
stage. The reason for this suggestion is because of
the confusing nature of the script.
For instance, the same actress (senior Jennifer
Blevins) plays both a mother and a wife but in
different times of their lives. Get that? Well, neither did I at first, so let me explain.
Essentially, all three of the double-cast roles
represent the same time in a different person's life.
For example, when a father is 30 he behaved a
certain way.
However, when his son is 30 he is the complete
opposite, but they are both played by the same
performer (sophomore Jacob Montgomery) to
alleviate the problems ofhaving another actor step
in and attempt to capture the same sort of similar
idiosyncrasies that relatives would possess. See
what I mean?
Even though this is a great concept for a play of
this particular dramatic genre, it will not make
sense unless it is viewed in performance and unless
all of the minute details can be brought to light live
and in person. Case in point, in last spring's one-act
plays The WASP, written by Steve Martin, faced the
same sort of problem. While reading the play, or
for that matter, a review of the performance, it is
hard to grasp the actual progression of the piece.
By contrast, when placed i{l th~ 11~Q.s pf a very ,
competent director and solid performers, it makes •
perfect sense.
With the opening in one week, it seems that all of
the pieces of a great show are beginning to come
together. Thanks in no small part to cast members
Blevins, Montgomery and junior Adam Wells who
are all very capable of tackling the tough task of
multiple personalities. Blevins has demonstrated
her range as an actress through several notable
performances in both the Ring and Mainstage
theaters.
Montgomery and Wells, on the other hand, are
both members of the Lilting Banshees and have no
trouble moving easily from one character to the
next. And their range of acting is not limited to
comedy, as both performers possess the capacity to
give performances with dramatic clout.
Putting all of these unique talents together will be
Diggle, who performed in the Ring as "the father"
in The Fantasticks last season, and as a cast member
of Closer Than Ever on the Mains tage. Diggle is the
president of the Anthony Aston Players, and has
always been actively involved in both "on stage"
and "behind the scenes" aspects of the theatre
department's productions.
Since he comes into this project with a wealth of
experience, Diggle has a good eye for what will
work and what will not.
In addition to the performers, it is this critical
point of view that will allow Three Days ofRain to
succeed.
In short, this is a well thought out theatrical work,
but that may not be evident to some. My advice is:
Don't take my word for it. Go see this event for
yourself so you can see these different components
come together and work harmoniously as one unit.

OK, just in case you haven't

years or so, has enjoyed vast
success all over the country.

In any case, Days enjoyed widespread radio play (which spells
success) and even got a spot on
the Godzilla ·s'oundtrack alongside such hardcoreroyalty as Rage
Against the Machine.
With their second self-titled album, Days comes with their characteristic acoustic guitar and front
man Travis Meeks screaming his
angry lyrics in classic style.
The band is a little different. It's
now just Meeks, the rest of the
band was dropped in between
the first and second album. And
there's some new sounds were

orchestra and a choir. Whatever
the case may be as far as instrumentation goes, the resultis wonderful.

With Meeks as producer and
co-mixer of the record, this album should prove to the world
that Days has stayingpower. Not
only has he answered the fans
with a good album-he answered
with a better album.
Bottom Line: A great second

Despite rain, Allmans P--- like it's 1969 Dylan
By Travis Langdon
Arts and Entertainment Editor
When we arrived to partly cloudy
evening skies in Raleigh after two hours
of driving through the drizzly remnants
of Hurricane Dennis, we thought it might
turn out to be a dry night of music after
all. But things don't always happen as
expected.
From the moment The Allman Brothers Band took the stage for their Sept. 5
show at Walnut Creek Pavilion, to the
moment the house lights went on almost
three and a half hours later, the rain
never once let up. But did that stop the
Bros. from putting forth a vibrant display
of collective musicianship to a packed
crowd seemingly willing to endure the
eye of the storm just to hear one more
tune? Not a chance.
In what was the final stop on their 30th
anniversary tour, the Allman Brothers
made it perfectly clear that the spirit of
one of the longest-running tour acts
around today hasn't skipped a beat since
1969.
To the contrary, that ever-faithful conglomeration of southern and psychedelic
seems to still be picking up steam.
Before kicking off the show with a
strong rendition of "Don't Want You No
More," guitarist Dickey Betts thanked
the folks in "Wet 'n Wild Raleigh" for
putting up with the inclimate weather,
and promised a fun night of music. From
the looks of things, no one was let down.
As the show-opener segued seamlessly
into the gritty blues standard "It's Not

Derek Trucks, the newest addition the Allman Brothers Band, plays along with
the original members during the band's 30th Anniversary Tour.
My Cross to Beai," Betts' guitar work and
crisp vocals took long-time listeners to
the fantiliar place that keeps them coming back to shows time after time.
Although some of the music played has
been around for years, it was the newest
member of the ensemble that brought
the ener~ level to a frenzied peak during
this year s tour. Twenty-year-old slide
guitar virtuoso Derek Trucks played
alongside original member Betts with the
enthusiasm and skill of a seasoned veteran. Conceivably, it was his presence
that helped contribute to the noticeably
younger crowd present at the show.
This was Trucks' first tour with the
Allman Brothers, but one cannot deny
the uncanny resemblance that the
prodigy's sound bears to one of the band's
founding fathers, the late Duane Allman.
As the nephew of drummer Butch Trucks,
young Derek stays true to the bloodline
of the band's original lineup.
Together, Betts and Derek Trucks
waged an all-out assault of sou~ ern blues
for the first half-hour of the show. Things
slowed down a bit for a poignant rendition of "Please Call Home," but wasted
no time lockingbackintoagroove. After,
a few moments of dreamy harmonics
and feedback, keyboardist Greg Allman's
voice emerged with the opening lines of
the fan-favorite, "Midnigfi.t Rider."
The next song, "TJ.'sAlley" is new as of
this tour, and marked the only number of
the evening that was written after Derek

Trucks joined the band. The instrumental features the classic Allman Brother's
tradition of alternating lead guitars, distinguished by unusual time signatures
and a jazz feel.
The first set kept rolling and was finally
closed by asmokingversion of "Ramblin'
Man," during which Betts took charge
and delivered one of his finest moments
.
of the night.
After a short set-break, the band took
the stage for two acoustic numbers;
"Seven Turns," and a moving take on the
Allman's classic "Melissa." The boys
plugged back in to finish the set.
Mter paying homage to their old
friends, The Grateful Dead, with an instrumental version of"Franklin's Tower,"
the band launched into "Blue Sky," which
reached almost unfathomable heights.
Betts kicked off a smoking "One Way
Out" for the next song, but the highlight
of the show was yet to come. In a mindblowing version of "Les Brers in A Minor," the three-piece percussion section
(Butch TrucksJaimone and Marc Quinones) treated dancing fans to some rootsbased rhythm followed by an impressive
bass solo by Oteil Burbridge. They closed
the set with "Revival," bearing witness to
the fact that at a Carolina Allman's show
-"love is in the air."
After an encore of "Statesboro Blues"
and "No One to Run With," a soaking
crowd took in a fmal collective breath,
and began to exit the venue. Thirty years
after its first show, the Allman Brothers
Bandfroved once again that they're still
one o the best live acts around.

their combined performance.
It was a welcomed sight to see Simon
take stage with his band, which included three drum sets. Prior to this
latest endeavor, Simon hadn't been
on tour since 1991, when he traveled
the states in support of his Rhythm ofthe
Saints album.
Since then, he had turned his attention to other endeavors, including the
production of his Broadway musical
The Capeman, and its accompanying
album.
However, after significant delay, The
Capeman bombed in the box offices
and stopped production in just a few
months. After that, Simon said he
would never tour again.
Fortunately, he changed in his mind,
and his performance in Charlotte
showed how great it is to have him
back.
Simon played all of his hits including "You Can Call Me AI," "The Boy
in the Bubble" and "Graceland." In
addition, he included some old Simon
and Garfunkel hits such as "Mrs.
Robinson" and "Bridge Over
Troubled Water."
Simon was obviously having fun
being on tour for the first time in eight
years as he played with the audience
and repeatedly showed his appreciation to the spirited crowd.
He came out for three encores and
finished the show with "The Sound of
Silence."
