The View From Here "Tailgate is a time for students to unwind, show school support, and is a valuable asset to the school." A pregame tailgate is the perfect way for every student to get excited for the day's big game. Good company and good weather always make for a huge turnout.

Procrastination is the downfall of many students. Late nights are the result for many who choose to wait until the last minute. Students often find themselves staying up late to finish assignments. Trish Johnson finishes herreading after a busy afternoon.

Up ah NighX Sleep is something that every human needs to survive; however, for the ordinary student it was a luxury that often came last on a long list of things that were more important. From preparing speeches for Speech Communications lOltopartyingin Apartment 601, and from studying for the Accounting 202 mid term final to going to Penny Lane in Richmond, some just did not get enough sleep. The remedy: miss a few classes here and there, take afternoon naps in their room, or just doze off in class. Often, students were forced to stay up all night completing assign ments. Papers tended to pile up on students all at the same time and if they wanted to get everything done, they just had to make a pot of coffee and work through the night. Matt Schwab said, " I basically could tell about a week in advance what days during the next week I would be pulling late hours. It's not like I could have done
anything about it; I was too busy working all night the current week to start on the future." For some students, however, it was a matter of choice. Friends Carrie Jauron and Torrie Santucci sometimes took a trip downtown to the Flood Zone and other choice clubs in the area. "We had a good time dancing and meeting people; sometimes we stayed out so late that it felt like it went all night. Any way you look at it, we did not get a lot of sleep on those nights." There are several problems caused by not getting enough sleep. Taylor Flubbard said, "The hard part is getting up for the early classes, although I find once you are there it's not as difficult to stay awake. It's much tougher to pay attention in the afternoon classes when you had less than four hours of sleep the night before." Some think that the nights that most people stay up late are on the weekend,
however it is often times just the opposite due to all papers, tests, and midweek festivities. Flubbard added. "Lots of times I stayed up a lot later during the week that I did on Fridays or Saturdays. For the most part, during the beginning of the week, I would spend my late nights studying, reading, or doing homework. Wednes day and Thursday nights were sometimes spent at bars or parties." Staying up all night is a common experience for college students as a whole. For some this was a choice, but for others it was necessary for them to complete all the homework that they had to do. Either way, hours of sleep were lost and the consequences were short cat naps during the day, even if it was during class. Adam Mandell

\/blunteering Their Timp? "It's giving time or resources when others can't or won't. Seeing a smile is an end result," said senior and Kappa Sigma member Patrick Flaherty about volunteering and community service. More than half of the student body participates in community service. There are more than two dozen groups and organizations devoted to encouraging and promoting this endeavor. The organizations facilitate easy access to places on and off campus and are eager to utilize volunteers to help those in need. "Seeing how happy the kids are when their tutor shows up is my main motivation. The appreciation given to you and the ability to help that makes it all worth it," said Jesse Davis, a sophomore Bonner scholar who volunteers at the PLUS Program. People accom plish their desire to help
through Greek activities or through Alpha Phi Omega, the coed service fraternity. Others join the many organizations under the Volunteer Action Council umbrella, including Carver Promise, DOVE, Earth Action, Habitat for Humanity, and VIP Tutoring. Onetime volunteer projects offer people the opportunity to help others without having to make a weekly com mitment to an organization. The mentoring and tutoring programs give volunteers the chance to help people of all ages. Programs like RUPES entail working with the elderly. LINCS and RTAP work specifically with elementary school children. The Bonner Scholars are a group of students that volunteer for a minimum of ten hours a week as part of their scholarship requirement. The scholars are active throughout the city and nearby counties. Their work
ranges from environmental preservation to assisting the homeless. UR Century is a 100mile bicycle race annually organized as a Habitat for Humanity fund raiser. Through this project, the school has raised more than $200,000 for Habitat that's more than any other college campus. With the campus's wide range of volunteer opportunities, everyone can be involved. Students can work with any range of people, and they can find an organization that works around the amount of time they can commit. Carver Promise involves tutoring and mentoring young children. ESL Tutoring reaches out to entire families who are in need of a tutor to give them English lessons. If you're motivated to help, then there is a program ready for you. They are always welcome of a fresh face and new energy. Amma Appiah Student Life 15

rJTie Tradition Continue^ In black and white, the freshmen and senior classes came together on September 14, 1997 to take part in the Proclamation Night ceremony. The freshmen, wearing the traditional allwhite, came to sign the honor pledge, signifying their acceptance into the Westhampton College system. They also wrote letters which were filled with their goals and hopes for college. The letters will be sealed until their senior year. Class of 2001 member Elizabeth Faucher stated, "I will be anxious to read my letter as a senior and see how far I have come in four years." The ceremony is centered around tradition, which was shown as the seniors carried a daisy chain into the chapel in black gowns they donned for the first time. The seniors opened the letters they had written three years ago to feelings of joy, remem brance, and nostalgia. Said senior Amy Wescott, "It was
a lot of fun to see how I've changed." Awards were also presented, distinguishing those who have been significant contributors to the Class of 1998. These awards included the Jane Stockman Award, won by Erica Motley, the Westhampton College Diamond Award, won by Becky Vogt, and the Women Who Dare Award. Both Mary Mittell and Markita Boney had the honor of winning this award. On the other side of the lake, the Richmond College freshmen gathered on September 28, 1997 to take part in Investiture, their equivalent of Proclamation Night. After the class picture was taken, the class proceeded to the chapel. Greg Yeadon, representing the class, led this march holding the flag of the Hon or Council. The ceremony was comprised of several parts, each paying tribute to the honor code and to the unity of the class. Erich Radlmann, president of Richmond
College, began the evening by introducing the speakers for the night. These men spoke about their experiences at the college, what they have learned in their years here, and how they have grown. Each tried to give some advice to the class, in hopes of enriching their experience at the school. Dan Seaman, Chair of the Honor Council, talked at length about the Honor Code, and what it means to the men of Richmond College. After everyone had spoken, the signing of the pledge took place. The freshman then received pins as symbol of the pledge they had just taken. It was a silent reminder of the vow they had made and of the part they each play as mem bers of the class. At the conclusion of the program, the men and their candles proceeded out of the chapel as one. Julie Hawkins

(jjraduates Come Homp October 3rd, 4th, and 5th were busy days for most students this year. Putting papers and reading aside, the Spiders were ready for a funfilled Homecoming Weekend. Alumni, students, and faculty alike enjoyed the weekend of beautiful weather, homecoming festivities, and great football. A CAB sponsored bon fire and pep rally started the weekend off on Friday night. Papa John's was on hand to feed the hungry students as the band Car bon Leaf served as the evening's entertainment. While the current students were at the bon fire, alum attended the dedication of the new Jepson Alumni Center. Named after Robert S. Jepson, Jr., alum and bene factor, the new center has produced nothing but positive comments. Senior Betsey Foster said she was glad to be able to attend the reception and was
impressed by the entire event. "All the doors were left open to display the rooms and guest suites. Each room is beautifully furnished and the main staircase is impressive." The Sirens served as part of the entertainment for the evening and helped provide a pleasant atmosphere for the returning alumni. With a fun Friday night behind them, Saturday turned out to be the perfect day for a football game. CAB and BACCHUS sponsored the tailgate that was a huge success. Fans of all ages came out to enjoy the sunshine, food, and friendship. After the tailgate, fans filled the stands to cheer on the football team. The Spiders played an outstanding game, defeating the University of Maine' s Bears with the score 17 to 14. Quarterback Mat Shannon said, "I think it was a special Homecoming. We had a really great crowd. When the crowd is behind you, you feel like you can
win any ball game." The Spider win reinforced the Wizard of Oz theme and slogan, "Lions, Tigers, and BEARS No problem!" Shawn Barber thought, "The team this year has a strong will and desire to win. We never give up and will play until the end." During halftime, the Homecoming King and Queen were announced from thisyear'scourt. RobertBell was crowned King, representing the Multi cultural Student Union and the cheerleaders. Becky Stern was crowned Queen representing Delta Gamma. All in all, Homecoming was a success.

Flurry of Activity On December 6, the Westhampton Class of 2000 sponsored its annual semiformal which was named Flurry Fever this year. In hopes of attracting a diverse mix of people, the semiformal offered many options to those students in attendance. The Cellar hosted Kareoke for brave singers and BACCHUS mixed nonalcoholic drinks to delight the taste buds of thirsty dancers. Of course, the main attraction consisted of a disco ball, flashing lights, and loud music. Dancers filled the Alice Haynes Room of the Tyler Haynes Commons to practice old dance steps and to learn some new moves. The DJ played a variety of music everything from the "YMCA" to Dave Matthews Band's "Crash." Everyone was sure to hear a couple of their favorites. Ready for a night of fun with friends, Jessica Goldman enjoyed getting dressed up for the dance and
going out to dinner with friends beforehand. Kareoke was right up her alley too; she sang "I'm Too Sexy" with three of her friends. "Who doesn't enjoy making fun of themselves in front of your friends?" said Jessica. "I'm also a big fan of the disco ball. It makes me feel like I'm in Saturday Night Fever and I'm the dancing queen." Flurry Fever is unique because every one and campus is invited to attend. In fact, everyone is encouraged to come. The Alice Haynes room can hold a lot more dancers than the Pier, and the other activities hoped to attract more students. Although the Sophomore Class Cabinet sponsored the event and hoped to attract students from every class, mostly freshmen attended. The new activities, like the Kareoke, were attempts to attract a bigger crowd. Other compromises hoped to bring in a bigger crowd, as well.
For example, the dance was held at an earlier time, so the dance didn't have to compete with the Row. Katie Smith, a member of the Westhampton 2000 Class Cabinet comments, "The whole night was a great success. We got a lot of positive feedback. We were really glad to see a mix of students. Most of them were freshmen, but there were also a good number of upperclassmen." All in all, the evening was a success. Students with aspiring dreams to be music stars sang to their hearts' content and dancers definitely got what they came for— a night of music and fun. Lisa Sommermeyer

By that evening, the reason was clear: Family Weekend 1997 had arrived, and the families were everywhere. The activity packed weekend began on Friday. AttheBirkdaleGolf Club, families played in the CABsponsored golf tournament. The men's soccer team hosted the third annual Nike Challenge Cup, one of the nation's leading inseason tournaments. In Camp Concert Hall, the Department of Music sponsored a concert at which the University Orchestra, University Band, and several soloists performed. Saturday morning brought the opportunity to attend faculty seminars and to take trolley tours of the campus. The tours helped families become familiar with the campus and its history without having to
walk a tour. After their whirlwind trip around campus, families gathered for the pregame barbecue on Westhampton Green and then travelled to the stadium for the football game against Virginia Military Institute. The Octaves, Sirens, and Actual Bells are Missing presented their annual Family Weekend concert, "An Evening of A Capella." As usual, the show sold out, and the night concluded with Parker Roe doing his impression of Bill Cosby reciting Aretha Franklin's "Respect." "Until the day before the concert, we couldn't get through the song without laughing," shared Roe about his performance. Arts Around the Lake was the main event on Sunday. The festival of local artists had been advertised throughout Richmond, and the campus was packed with families and art enthusiasts. The canoe and crew races on the lake also drew a large group of excited spectators.
Heather Scott and Dave Lynn won the mixed division while Dr. Clough and Dr. Stevens of the Chemistry department won the men's division. Besides attending these organized activities, students and families swarmed the city. Students were thrilled to spend time shopping and eating out. Sophomore Chris Hamman said it best, "Basically, I used my parents to take me out for some fine dining!" Overall, Family Weekend was a huge success.

^he Seeds of Changjn^ Richmond's campus is recognized countrywide for its beauty and serenity. But this past year, bulldozers and other equipment also became a facet of the Richmond campus. During this past summer, the university began to undertake seven major construction projects as well as 5 minor ones, a number which is higher than most past years. A wealth of changes welcomed the students as they returned in August. In May, the Military Science department re located to the basement of Millhiser Gym. Over the summer, the University Police and the Student Health Center moved to the Special Programs Building This allowed for expansion of the Management Institute and of the School of Continuing Studies. The Jepson Alumni Center was one majorproject completed just in time for Homecoming. It was named and dedicated on October 3, 1997. Immediately follow
ing the homecoming game, alumni, students, and university affiliates were invited back to the center for a reception celebrating its opening. Freshman students Kristen Taylor and Karmon Kriechbaum attended the reception and were impress ed with the beauty of the new center. Taylor com mented, "It was amazing how the university con structed the modern alumni center using an old home as a centerpiece." The Alumni Center was constructed around Bottomley House which was donated by Mr. and Mrs. William H. Godwin. Bottomley House was transported across the River Road from its original location to campus on March 24, 1996. Additional on going construction projects include Whitehurst, the Richmond College pavilion and renovations in Richmond College dorms. Robins Hall will be converted into an entirely
residential dormitory once the Dean's office is relocated to Whitehurst. Another change to the Richmond campus is the creation of the entrance sign which welcomes students and visitors alike. Constructed of concrete and cobblestone, the sign serves serves an aesthetic purpose. It has also, however, received complaints from students for obstructing drivers' views. " Changes are also being implemented to the political science building, which was outfitted with new classrooms, office space, and an elevator shaft. Plans to move the Human Resources department to the lower level are also under way. Fortunately, in constructing any and all of the new buildings on campus, a continuity of architecture and design is maintained which combines the classic brickface style with new modern facilities.

Junior Ring Dance of course! Taking place on February 7, this year's Ring Dance was no contradiction to the successes of its predecessors. Ring Dance is a long time tradition, highlighting a Westhampton woman'sjunioryear. Much of her junior year is spent anticipating and preparing for the memorable evening. Walking down the same staircase as Scarlet O'Hara in the movie Gone With the Wind, each junior woman was escorted down the famous Jefferson steps. The whole process, which lasted about two hours, preceded the junior "W" formation at the bottom of the staircase. Dates and family members observed the tradition of taking a

Brittany commented, "The feelings you get from Ring Dance are unexplainable. You know that every girl that walked down the steps was feeling her moment of glory, and she deserved it! Everyone looked so beautiful! I just can't wait until it's my turn next year!" The dates were also very impressed with process. Senior Jeff Ganzer summed it up when he said, "Everything was just amazing. From the 'W' formation to the h'ors deurves to dancing with the band and DJ, Ring Dance is a really classy event."

In on the ActioJ^ Intramural athletics draw participants from all aspects of campus life. Teams are represented by Greeks, resident halls, and groups of friends. Although play can get serious and quite competitive, the bottom line in intramurals is to have fun! With nine dif ferent team sports, there is bound to be something for everyone. Play kicks off with soccer in the fall, and concludes with softball in the spring. In between, competition includes volleyball, hardyball, handball, basketball, indoor soccer, and floor hockey. Throughout the year, there are also a number of special events. These one to two day tournaments involve individuals or small teams in various sports and activities. These feature tennis, table tennis, horseshoes, badminton, three on three basketball, squash, four on four volleyball, basketball freethrow, raquetball,
swimming, waterpolo, wrestling, golf, and ultimate frisbee. For the most part, teams play twice a week for several weeks. When, the regular season ends, then the playoffs begin. Once the season concludes, one champion is crowned in each division. MarkRailsback, a sophomore who has participated in a number of intramural sports claims, "Intramural competition is not a matter of life and death. It is much more serious than that." On the other hand, some people take a much more relaxed approach to intramurals. Junior Melissa Stemple said the following, "Intramurals is a great time to hang out with friends and to blow off some steam." When all is said and done, intramural sports are about participation and sportsmanship. It is a great way to meet new people and compete in an athletic event while having fun at the same
time. For the more competive and talented students, the option of Culb Sports exists. These clubs provide opportunities for both men and women in a wide variety of activities. Unlike intramurals, the club teams compete against squads from other colleges and universities. The clubs include crew, soccer, field hockey, volleyball, martial arts, ultimate frisbee, rugby, equestrian, lacrosse, tennis, cycling, women's water polo, and men's baseball. Club sports offer many opportunties for student leadership and involvement because students are solely responsible for the planning, financing, and adminstration of the clubs. These Club Sports are just another way for students to display their athletic talents in a very competitive, but enjoyable manner. Mark Tumelty

freaking LoosP Fall break, winter break, spring break, and then... finally... summer break! Probably every student counts down the days until the next time off. But you need a little rain to make a rainbow. Before every break comes papers, tests, group projects, midterms, and the dreaded final exams. Some students argue being overstressed in the last days before a break makes the break even more relaxing and enjoyable. The days of rest feel even more memorable after all the blood, sweat, and tears. Traveling during the fall break is an increasingly popular choice for many students. Some travel to other colleges and universities to visit friends from home. Some decide to make one last trip to the Outer Banks before the cold weather hits. Still others, like Will Reinmuth, elect to go camping over the extended weekend. "Camping is an inexpensive option for
students wanting to get away for the weekend, especially because you can rent most of the equipment from the Robins Center. A group of six of us, three guys and three girls, went camping at Crabtree Falls, in the Shenendoah Valley. It only takes a couple hours to drive there and the view is great! We hit gorgeous weather and I have some good pictures from the trip," shared Will. Winter break is a favorite for students since it lasts so long. Students find they can do many things during the month, like travel or even work to earn a little extra spending money. Stephanie Thompson found herself snowtubing in the Poconos with her dad. "Snow tubing down the mountains is such a rush!" she says. "Even though I've never been skiing before, I'm all ready to try that next winter break!" This year, spring fever hit campus long before spring break. Many students retreated to places such as
Cancun, Miami, and San Diego. Disney World with sidetrips at night to Pleasure Island continued to be a favorite among students. Finally comes the longawaited summer break. Options for summer breaks include working, taking summer classes, or both. An increasing number of students boast of adding summer internships to their resumes. This past summer Travis Slocum did just that. "I worked as an intern at the Lynchburg newspaper, which is right near my home. I also got to travel a lot," he added. Some students get bored with school and look forward to breaks. And then others get bored during their breaks and look forward to returning to school. But whatever the case may be, the view from here always looks good! Liz Cooney

Jn and Around Campu Q Great parties, tasty tailgates, sporting events, classes, hanging out with friends. This is an impressive list of things to do on campus, making it one of the best places to go to school in the world. What is missing from this list, however, are the events that added a bit of culture to the students who had the opportunity and privilege to experience them on campus. These things included singing groups, various bands, theatre productions, and Campus Activity Board (CAB) events; all of which provided a little something more for everyone to look forward to when they had some free time. With so many different types of things going on campus, it's hard to go from week to week without attending a cultural event or at least hearing about one. "I've been to several CAB activities, and I think that they can be fun sometimes." Tom Calder said, "The comedian
Amazing Jonathan was pretty funny, and I enjoyed going to it. The bonfire around Homecoming wasn't that great and I think that it could have been better." The Amazing Jonathan, a comedian that toured college campuses across the country, appeared in the Alice Haynes room in the Commons in late September. Students not only enjoy these events, but have an excellent chance to take part in them as well. Organizations that put on cultural events are always looking for new talent interested in performing. Matt Grimes, a baritone saxophone player in the concert band said, "I'm very happy that I have the opportunity to be in a band here at school. If the turnout at our concerts is any indication, I'd say that the students really enjoy what we put together for them." By the end of the semester, the concert band had already performed three times; once at convocation, and twice in
the Modlin Center. Cultural events on campus provided alternatives to the normal ways of spending time, and for the most part, were every bit as enjoyable. Mike Ward, an actor who performed in this year's University Player's per formance of "Reckless" said, "People get tired of going to parties; things like plays and musical performances allow stu dents to have fun without worrying about all the consequences of intoxica tion." So if you happeh to find some extra time in your schedule, check out some of the events going on around campus. You may be pleasantly surprised with what you find. Adam Mandell

[[for "The advantages of groupwork are that you can divide up the work according to people's strengths, avoiding their weaknesses as much as possible."
Group work has been incorporated into many of classes. Although most well known in the Leadership School, groups projects can be found in every major. Dr. Palazzolo's Public Policy class presented information about the welfare programs in the United States. Dimensions of Wellness requires groups to present information concerning student health. Across campus, professors see it fit to make students work in groups to complete projects and assignments. Many professors put these groups together and gave them guidelines for the final product of their teamwork. "You are forced to make your schedules work together and get the work done, even if you didn't like each other. If you do like your group, you had the chance to get to know new people. You are also forced to do research because the
nefor neand group depends on you, so you learn a lot more about a specific subject," said Megan Czarzasty, who worked as part of a Biology lab group and a Dimensions of Wellness group. Her Biology group gathered information and performed a lab on the link between Down's Syndrome and Alzheimer's Disease. She also worked on a small group project for Wellness. The Wellness group project entailed researching a health issue, writing a paper, and setting up a display for the classroom presenting their findings. Most groups divided the work among the members, and set the guidelines for the work to be evaluated by the group prior to completion. The members critiqued each other's work and made suggestions for improvements before the final project would be presented to the professor.
Many students felt that regardless of their like or dislike for groupwork, more work is completed through group efforts than could have been possible for one person alone. "The advantages of groupwork are that you can divide up the work according to people's strengths, avoiding their weaknesses as much as possible," said Deanna Gallucio, who participated in one of the Biology lab groups. Some students agreed that if they had a chance to set the criteria for the group work some things would be different. "Let students choose their own groups; it's awkward working with someone you don't know or get along with," added Gallucio. Amma Appiah

or "The Jepson Jab isn't really that crowded any more because the of the new library computer lab. Sometimes the library is even more crowded than Jepson."
the Computers are an integral part of college life. The labs are filled at all hours with students writing papers, researching on the Internet, and sending email to family and friends. To meet the demand of all the students needing access to computers, University Com puting started the school year with several upgrades and the purchase of new equip ment. Over the past years, Westhampton lacked its own computer lab. Due to the demand of its own computer lab, Westhampton students can now use the new com puterlabinNorthCourt. The Macintosh lab in Jepson re located to room B2 in North Court. "It's nice to finally have a place to work on this side of campus. The walk to Jepson was a waste of time to just print out a couple of pages." A new lab was also
echnicaCCy netined installed in the basement of Boatwright library. The emphasis of this lab has been on the efficient use of library and online resources for re search. To introduce the students to the new lab and the resources available, many professors chose to meet at the library for one class and learn how to use these resources. This lab also serves to prevent over crowding of the Jepson lab during peak hours. Doris Wylee, who uses this lab regularly, says, "The Jepson lab isn't really that crowded anymore be cause the of the new library computer lab. Sometimes the library is even more crowded than Jepson." Ap parently, students have taken to the idea of a place to type a paper and do research at the same time. As the Internet be comes more and more nec essary for research, students find it more helpful to own
their own computer. Some teachers also find News Groups an interesting way to continue discussions out side of the classroom. Many students can do all their re search on the Internet and through other online ser vices, never needing to step foot in the library. The cost of a com puter prevents many students from buying their own. Some will use their roommate's computer or a friend's down the hall. Of course, the labs are still readily available to students. Since email and Internet re search are increasingly popular, it has become nec essary to have access to a computer. So whether it be in the quiet of their own room or in the labs with special programs, the use of com puters has become invalu able to students. Jamie Bigelow

tHard cWorl^rPays "My parents expect me to get a 4.0 GPA every semester, be involved in every activity on campus, as well as have a normal social life."
The University of Richmond provides five basic types of merit scholarships based solely on a students academic achievement in high school. These programs include Oldham Scholars, the Ethyl and Albermale Science scholars, the University Scholars, the CIGNA Scholars, and the Virginia Baptist Scholars. These scholarships all provide some sort of financial grant, and are not based on the wealth of the student receiving the money. University Scholar recipient John Petro said, "The fact that 1 have this scholarship gives me the opportunity to pursue some interesting things that I would ordinarily not be able to. Because I have only one requirement in my freshman yearto take CoreI can take classes that others cannot, or at least not as early. So far, I have used this
increased course selection to take Spanish Conversation, however I plan to use it more extensively in the future. Next year I will be taking Chinese." Some felt that once people found out certain students were scholarship recipients, they were treated differently, sometimes in a negative way. Petro said, "Most people don't react at all, some even treat me with a little more respect." T h e r e were added pressures for all scholarship students, no matter what program they were in. Petro said, "Most of the pressure comes from my parents. They expect me to get a 4.0 GPA every semester, be involved in every activity on campus, as well as have a normal social life. The University of Richmond itself basically expects the students who receive these awards to be leaders on campus. I just try
my hardest and don't dwell on the pressures so much. I am certainly glad I have this scholarshipwithout it, I wouldn't be attending this school." Petro received similar monetary offers from Rutgers University and George Washington University. Delores MacNeely is in charge of all the scholars. She said, "There are two basic goals and reasons for offering merit based scholarships. Obviously, it is an incentive for the brightest students in the country to attend this school. However, we also hope to turn out graduates that will spread good news about the University of Richmond. We hope that the students who go through the programs will go on to bigger and better things, whether it be to graduate school or a career." Adam Mandell

Oh, the 'Places 'You lYiff Qo "All you have to do is choose where you want to go. If you have the room in your schedule and the desire, all you have to do is say the word, but in the appropriate language of course."
International stu dents are an important part of the university and they come here from over forty countries located all over the world. Freshman Laetitia Philippart traveled here from Zaire and South Africa, where she has lived all of her life. She plans on a course of study related to the interna tional world. "Everyone wants to know the United States, and the living situa tion here is much different, but also very interesting," she shared. What some may not be aware of are the courses available to any Richmond student who wishes to study the interna tional world. Of the many possible majors offered. In ternational Studies is one that offers a direct connec tion to the happenings of the international community. This major has seven pos sible concentrations. A stu dent majoring in Interna
tional Studies must also have enhanced language pro ficiency and an approved ex perience abroad, as well as additional required courses. A student not wish ing to major in International Studies, but with an interest in the subject also has many opportunities. The School of Arts and Sciences, the E. Clairborne Robins School of Business, and the Jepson School of Leadership Stud ies all have classes includ ing and concentrating on in ternational and nonwestern components. A major part of the International Studies pro gram is Study Abroad, as it is a requirement for students within the major. The uni versity offers programs for a year, semester, or a summer; and they can be taken during sophomore, junior, or senior year. Students may go abroad for academics or for other endevours, such as to take part in an internship.
Some students like Maia Carter, who traveled to Hon duras, go to do service projects with the school's service learning program. Senior Paige Carrington spent all of her junior year abroad in Ger many. She describes the ex perience as rewarding and felt that she learned a great deal about the German cul ture. " It was the greatest experience of my life. It was difficult at first, but in the end, it was great." For some students, study abroad is the culmina tion of their international studies. There are many dif ferent countries where stu dents can travel. All you have to do is choose where you want to go. If you have the room in your schedule and the desire, all you have to do is say the word, but in the appropriate language of course. Julie Hawkins

he 'Best of the est "The more prestigious you are will go a Ions way in determining where you'll be after college is over."
Going to college meant different things for every student. Some sought merely to prepare for the future, while others attended purely for the experience and fun they could get out of it. Most students' goals, however, were a mixture of the two. With a little bit of hard work, a good way to combine them is to be inducted into honor societies. There are nu merous honor societies on campus, from purely academic ones to ones that were more dedicated to a particular field such as English or science. One of the most influential national honor societies here is Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK). This society encompasses leadership and academics, traits that students are required to master before they are invited to join. ODK president, Julie Cors, said,
"There were a couple of reasons that I joined ODK originally. I was happy that they selected me to begin with because I knew how prestigious the organization was. Now, after being in it for about a year, I am the president. Without my supporting group of executives, however, I wouldn't get all the work done." Cors said that Richard Mateer, Dean of Richmond College, also helps tremendously in the operation of the organization. Golden Key is another national honor society on this campus. It is one of the largest honor societies with, literally, hundreds of members. The organization honors those who have excelled academically. Students coming here from high schools around the country were interested in joining
numerous honor societies. Brian Letourneau said, "I was involved in the National Honor Society in high school, where I held a leadership position. I enjoyed it, but the main reason was to improve how I looked on paper. I suspect that it is essentially the same at college. The more prestigious you are (what kinds of things you were involved with, such as honor societies) will go a long way in determining where you'll be after college is over." Time spent now participating in activities that would help in the future was something that students recognized early. Honor societies were one way in which students could be honored and have some fun, while still helping themselves out in the long run. Adam Mandell
Golden Key members gather for a social in the Cellar. Socials are just one of the many events honor societies plan to unite their members.

i utting t "Occasionally Spiders squeeze in those precious moments on the tread mill or in the weight room and, believe it or not, every once in a while, there are minutes to eat, sleep, and shower.''
I handed in my story about Homecoming to the Yearbook editor and placed the roll of field hockey pictures quietly on the table. I non chalently flipped through some pictures and then turned attempting to slip through the door unnoticed. Three steps and a turn of the door knob would have my freedom but... I need you to write a story about the infamous ' Balancing Act.' You know... Students who try to do every activity on campus, plus have to keep up with classwork, and then manage to get some sleep here and there. You know the deal. "The story is due in two weeks," says Lisa Sommermeyer, the copy edi tor. "That's funny," I thought to myself. "My so ciology test is in two weeks. My Women in Modern Lit erature paper is due in two weeks. My mom wants to come down for a visit in two
[[ ogetfier weeks, and while she's here she wants to discuss finding a job, pledging a sorority, and playing club sports." It's not that I don't enjoy writing stories for the yearbook, because I do. I signed up, didn't I? The problem is, like every other student on campus, this one particular organization isn't the only thing I signed up for. So... We get up early and stay up late. We get our work done (most of the time) and try to make it to the really important meet ings. We go to lectures and poetry readings. Athletes somehow make it to prac tices and even games, while the musicians practice, Uni versity Dancers dance, and choir members sing. Some times we can sneak in Part of Five or Sports Center, but sometimes we're just too busy yelling at our suitemates to clean the bath room or vacuum the carpet.
Somehow we make it to our meetings and even our jobs. Occasionally Spiders squeeze in those precious moments on the tread mill or in the weight room and, be lieve it or not, every once in a while, there are minutes to eat, sleep, and shower. Tonight, while all students are enjoying their college time filled with happy stress, I have a leader ship small group meeting, an appointment with my writing fellow, a yearbook meeting which is taking place down the hall from my Hunger and Homelessness meeting, plus I have a calcu lus test to study for. It's best to be in volved. It's fun to be busy. So goodluckbalancingitall and keep signing up! Cristin Witcher

The View From Here l o o k i n g f o r e x c e l l e n c e
"The team this year has a strong will and desire to win. We never give up and will play until the end." To the dismay of the VMI Keydets, Justin Oravetz, #55, intercepts the ball with the help of Marc Megna, #54. The Spiders dominated the game crushing VMI 563.
Marseilles Brown and Nick Patrick aid the Spiders in their 8765 defeat of George Mason University. The game highlighted the skills that led the Spiders to CAA victory.

'JootBatf This year's Spider foot ball team finished the year 65, with a 44 record in the Atlantic 10 Conference. The team set many impressive records and at one time was ranked #21 in the IAA polls. Most notable about the team was its defense, which set a new record for fewest rush ing yards allowed per game in a season. This year's record was 93.8, which topped the old record of 100.8 set in 1969. The defense also had the privelidge of being rated #1 in the confer ence. The #1 rated defense was led by senior linebacker Shawn Barber, who named the Atlantic Ten Defensive player of the year. Other contributers to this year's defensive effort were Marc Megna and Rahmaan Streater, who were also selected for first team allconference. Marc Megna had 14 sacks and 13 tackles for losses, which was a team record. Throughout the year the Spiders lost several close games which were actually won on the
Sports 150
statsheet. Delaware and Villanova were two higher ranked opponents who the Spi ders beat in every facet except for the score. Offensively, the Spi ders were led by Quarterback Matt Shannon, who connected with sophomore talent Duane Jones for a season high fifty catchesthe most in a single sea son since 1986. Junior Connor Marsden commented on the season saying that, "It was tremendous to play with so many talented seniors and to accomplish as much as we did." Both seniors Shawn Barber and Rahmaan Streater will re ceive the opportunity continue playing football at the next level, as he was drafted to play for the nearby Washington Redskins. Greg Torretti

Men's Soccer The men's soccer team achieved many goals this year under the leadership of Senior Paul Sterbenz and Sophomore Andy Moden. The Spider's record was 971 overall and 43 1 in CAA play. The team was nationally ranked as high as twenty second by a Soccer News Top 25 poll, but fell shortly after losing to the #8 ranked South Carolina Gamecocks. Paul Sterbenz led the team with three goals and was one of the main offensive threats. He amassed 7 points and started in a total of 21 games. Andy Moden, along with Sterbenz, holds the highest career point to tal of 28. Moden's greatest asset was his passing games. This helped him lead team in assists. The future looks bright for the Spiders because of young talents Craig Ziadie and Peter Luzak. Luzak started 20 games during the season at midfield, tallying four points, and taking a total of 35 shots at the net. Both Luzak and Zaidie were named to the AllTournament Team for
their stellar performances during the season. This year's Spider squad was coached by Jeff Gettler, who is in his third season as the head of the men's program. He has compiled a record of 21145. Hopes remain high for next year. With Gettler leading the way and with the marked improvement Richmond has shown in just two seasons, an NCAA Tournament bid may not be far off. Greg Torre tti

'Women's Soccer In their second season ever, the lady Spiders' team fin ished the year with an impressive 138 overall record, 35 in the CAA, improving from last year's 792 finish. This young team continues to improve, surpass ing all expectations that can be put on a second year team. This year, accolades for the team went to Freshmen Brooke Sands and Jaclyn Raveia, who were named to the firstteam All CAA. Sands was a great addition to the team, as she contributed a record high 22 goals and 47 points in her first season. Her 22 goals also lead the conference, and helped her to win the CAA rookie of the year award. Kirsi Cronk is last year's scoring leader and cur rently holds the schools alltime point record high with 53. She had another great season, leading the Spiders with 13 assists. Many of those assists went to help Sands score her record goals. Another standout on the team is Jaclyn Raveia. Her ac
complishments came in the net, as she shut out opponents a total of 8 times this season. With only two sea sons completed, the Spiders have shown that they are well on their way to becoming a success. All facets of their game, offensively and defensively, are much better than anyone would expect from such a young team. A lot of the program's early success may be attributed to Coach Peter Albright. Coach Albright said that he is "pleased with the amount of success the program has had in only two years of ex istence." Greg Torretti

Tie(d To say that the 1997 1998 University of Richmond Field Hockey season was a rollercoaster ride of emotional highs and lows would be a tre mendous understatement. Although they finished with a sub0.500 record (711), it is safe to say that the lady Spiders played one of the toughest sched ules in the country. In addition to their always powerful Colonial Athletic Association opponents, the field hockey team also played four nationally ranked teams: # 1 Old Dominion, #5 Princeton, #6 James Madison, and # \ 1 Wake Forest. It was the stunning Sep tember 20th 32 upset of Wake Forest at Crenshaw Field that provided the high point of the season for the team. Perhaps the biggest loss to the program will be the gradu ation of senior tricaptain and member of the First Team All CAA Amy Ottavinia. She ends her career with the #2 rank in the school's history for both goals (41) and total points (93) and holds the #3 rank for assists.

Regardless of the disap pointing regular season record, the Spiders were still able to make some noise in the confer ence tournament. Once again, the Spiders took their traditional underdog role and played the spoiler beating #3 seed Ameri can University. With that vic tory, the Spiders advanced to the CAA semifinals for the first time in the program's history. While the field hockey team was even tually defeated 41 by James Madison, it was a valuable expe rience. This young team now looks to what it can take into the 19981999 season. With that in mind, best of luck to the Spiders in their next season. Amma Appiah

Cross Country The men's cross country team faced tough competitions, which is reflected by their place ment record in meets this year. The team's strength, however, came from seniors Eric Mueller and Randy Myers, who consistently ran as the team's top two finishers. Other contributors who turned in strong perfor mances for the Spiders were sophomore Patrick Healy and junior Dave Guerrant. Unfortunately, the team finished the season with a disap pointing performance at the CAA championships, placing seventh out of eight teams. The women's cross country team had a slightly more successful season than the men did. They placed higher in their meets and competed against tough competitors. The arrival of first year students Dana Rosen and Liz Hackenburg augmented the team greatly. They were often the top two finishers during the season and helped improve the team's overall record. The Spiders best
performance came on October 4 at the Towson Invitational in Maryland, where they finished first out of four other teams in the five mile race. First year Liz Hackenburg was the team's top runner in the race and placed second overall. Both the men's and women's team were coached by Rick Wagenaar and the assistant Val Schwartz. Coach Wagenaar is currently in his twelfth year here at the University. These two have years of experience that should help propel both teams into greater performances next year. Jamie Bigelow

Men's (Bas/^etSaff The Richmond Spiders basketball program has been known for having upset basketball teams ever since they defeated the Syra cuse University Orangeman in the NCAA tournament first round in 1991. This year, the Spiders once again surprised fans and media by defeating the University of South Carolina, by a score of 6261 in the MCI Center in Washington, DC. The Spiders were the clear under dogs at the #14 seed, while the Gamecocks held the #3 spot. That's not the only thing the Spider basketball team accom plished this year; they finished with an overall record of 238 and won the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament. This also came as a surprise to many people across the country. The team was seeded #6 in the CAA tournament, and defeated an upstart American team, as well as the #1 seed UNC Wilmington. Ev ery game in the tournament was ex citing, many coming down to the wire. "I was so excited about the team this year, I went to every home game," said Richmond student Ryan Oeshlager. "It had always
been one of my dreams to rush the court when my school won an im portant tournament; I finally got that chance this year!" said Peter Baltutis. The Spiders success this year did not come as a surprise to everyone, however. Freshman For ward Rick Houston said, "The wins were surprising to the magazine writers, but not to the team. We knew that we were just as good if not better than any other team in that tournament, and the fact that we were seeded so low gave us even more incentive to win the whole thing." After such a great season this year, the Spiders will unfortu nately be losing four players to graduation. "It'll be tough to get over what we miss from Jarod [Stevenson], Eric [Poole], Carlos [Cueto], and Daryl [Oliver], but I know we'll pull together and get ready to do it all over again. We also have five new recruits coming in, and they'll add to the team." Adam Mandell

Women's (Bas/(et5aff This year the Spider Women's Basketball team started off strong, but unfortu nately their last few games of the season ended much differently. Throughout the entire season, however, the women always practiced hard and played even harder. Much of the overall success of the team was due to the consistent and collective ef forts of everyone involved. Leading the Spiders this year were seniors Carole Detollonaere, Mandy Hester, and Jen Meade as well as juniors Carolyn Center and Michelle Florin. These women also led in team records for the season. Meade had the highest average points per game with 18.8. Center had the highest field goal average at 49.7% Hester played the most minutes this sea son. She played 778 total min utes and averaged 32 minutes per game. Florin had the honor of holding two season records. She made the most 3point shots, making 43 of 131 attempts. Al though she didn't shoot the most
Sports 162
free throws, she did have the highest free throw percentage making 92.5% of her shots. Meade readily admits the difficulties of playing on such a dedicated team. Intense practice and travel schedules can take their toll on the players after a while. She said of the team and the season, "We have a really tough conference but since we're only losing two seniors, our team should be a lot stronger next year. When you work hard, any thing can happen." While anything can hap pen, the lady Spiders are only hoping for the best. One of their main goals next year is to do well in and win the CAA conference championship. With another solid year of experience behind them, the Spiders can't wait for next year's season to arrive.

Cfub 'Rugby With a winning record in continue playing throughout the year so I can improve myself and bring what I learn to the team next year." Schiffer played at the full back position and was match secre tary in 1998. Fans who enjoyed other Richmond sports were surprised to see just how unique rugby is. Com bining the hard hitting of football, the speed of lacrosse, and the hand eye coordination of baseball, rugby cannot really be compared to any thing when one witnesses a live match. "I had never seen a rugby match before I came to the Univer sity of Richmond, and I'm glad I got the chance to; it's really very excit ing," said Roshan Shetty. Rugby was one of Richmond's most popu lar club sports, drawing a consistent crowd at every match. "I didn't think that rugby was played in the states, and I was happy when I found that we had a team here at Richmond," Sandy Lenior said, "I was a big fan when I lived in Australia.
the Fall 1997 season, the Richmond Spiders rugby team, led by president Brian Thackry, placed second in the Virginia State Division II Rugby tournament. "We lost to St. Joseph's, a very good team," Thackry said, "Even though we will be losing a great bunch of seniors for the next full season, we should do as good if not better than we did this year. We have a good group of guys that learned a lot this season, and I know they'll step up into the places that the seniors will leave open." Some of the players leav ing include John Carleton, Andy Bachelor, Tom Chandler, Brett Allen, Tim Petty, Chris Colbert, and Chris Witwer. All seniors, they will be graduating in the Spring of 1998. As a club sport, the team relies com pletely on the student body to make up the team. Some of the players competing have never played the sport. However through hard work and playing as a team, the squad managed to make every game a great one. Pete Schiffer, '01 said, "I had a lot of fun in my first year on the Richmond rugby team and I plan to

Water To(o The experience of this year's water polo team is best described as a "learning season" by Coach Scott Jackson. Al though the team lost the majority of its games, they were able to grow and learn from their mis takes. Their maturity was re flected through their wins against Johns Hopkins and Sa lemTeikyo, which came later in the season. Jackson said that the improvement of the team is con tingent upon the eight young freshmen on the squad. Seniors, Kevin Jeffers and Seth Plough provided strong leadership for the newer talents of Patrick Budden and Michael Barnett. The water polo team ended its season with a sixth place finish at the Southern play offs, which took place at the Na val Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. This was the second consecutive season they have finished 510, and were fifth in the conference in the regular sea son standings. Barnett led the team in the field both defensively and offensively, with the most
Sports 166
steals and goals scored. According to Coach Jackson, it was the goalkeeper, Seth Plough, who was by far the most valuable player throughout the season. "He often times made the difference between winning and losing games, in which we should not have been in contention." Although it may have been a learning season, this team has proved itself worthy of rec ognition and will be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come. Samantha Bonom

This year, the cocaptains of the women's team were juniors Jen Williams from Carlisle, PA, and Michelle Carter from Newtown, PA. The cocaptains of the men's team were Chris Snyder and junior Jamie Hough from Pittsburgh, PA. The diving team com petes in the same meets as the swim team. The team is coached by Maureen Earley. This season's top diving scores for the women were achieved by Abigail Sims in all three categories. Sophomore Bryan Riley accomplished the same for the men. One of the highlights of the season occurred at the Potomac Classic at American University on December 56. The men's and women's scores were combined to give an overall school score. Rich mond won, beating second place finisher American University by over a hundred points. The women's team had a very success ful season this year, as they finished all their dual meets undefeated for

Synchronized Swimming The '97'98 synchronized swim team was made up of thirteen women. The "A" team, or red team, consisted of sophomores Samantha Levin and Allison Lowrie, and freshmen Laura Bach, Jennifer Gustafson, and Courtney Sullivan. The "B" team, or blue team, was made up of senior Kim Killian, sophomores Jennifer Gaines and Julie Luster, and freshmen Jamie Bigelow, Susan Coomber, Elizabeth Faucher, and Beth Scott. The team is coached by Peg Hogan, with assistant coach Lynn Attebury, and Suzanna Schmeelk is the manager. This year, teams swam to mu sic from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The red team had a season high score of 83.58 and the blue team had a high score of 77.91. Other routines included two trios: Bach, Levin, Sullivan; and Gustafson, Killian, Lowrie; two duets: Bach, Levin; and Gustafson, Lowrie; and a solo; Sullivan. Each team member also swam figures in the "A", "B", or "C" division. Liz Faucher was the season high scorer for "C" figures, and Laura Bach was the high scorer of " B" figures. Courtney Sullivan swam "A" figures, achieving a score of 74.591, which made her the
Sports 170
highest scoring swimmer in UR synchro history. The highlight of the season was the meet at Ohio State University on February 14. The team came in second out of seven. The women achieved high scores in both figures and routines, edg ing out rival Michigan State. Sullivan placed second in the solo compe tition, the Bach, Levin, Sullivan trio came in third, and Bach placed fifth in the " B" figure competition. The red team traveled to Florida at the beginning of March and competed in the South Zone meet. Two routines made it to finals: the team rou tine, and the Bach, Levin, Sullivan trio. Overall, Richmond finished 8th. The Spiders traveled to the University of Minnesota at the end of March for the National Collegiate Championships. As a team, they fin ished seventh out of seventeen. The team is proud of the progress they made this season. They are young, with only one graduating senior, and they feel they have much to look forward to in the upcoming years. Jamie Bigelow

<Base6af( After months of long and strenuous workouts, practice paid off big. Veteran coach Ron Atkins's team of Spiders played to another outstanding record this spring season, finishing 32 141 overall. There were several play ers whose individual talents led the team to victory. No one player, however, won the game by himself. It was always the combination of such great play ers working together that al lowed the Spiders to have such an excellent season. This year the team was led by captains Curtis Brown, John Wagler, and Jeff Wood. Other seniors in cluded Mike Clear, Jason Mor ris, and Robbie Preston. Like always, the team did not fail to bring excitement to their games. At times the Spiders may have been down, but they were never out. There were many occasions when the team rallied from behind to win the game in the end. Their playing schedule may be impressive, but their record is even more so.
Sports 172
The men always played with 110% of their energy. Many games were often double headers. Games were played through Spring Break and could even go beyond finals when the team goes to the CAA or NCAA Tournament. This year, the Spi ders will have a #2 seed in the CAA Championships. By the end of the season the Spider team had over 360 runs scored, a record 69 home runs, and a combined batting av erage of .296. In all, the Spiders outscored all their opponents 478464. With such an impres sive season, Coach Atkins be lieves that there is nothing to stop them from achieving the same or better when next spring rolls around. Kelly Thomas

Tracts & fieCd Both the men's and women's track team had a strong indoor and outdoor season this year. There was a great deal of improvement from the years past on both sides. Many attribute this to the focus of the team mem bers, to the tight friendships, or to the addition of assistant coach, John Campbell. The men's team was led by senior cocaptain Eddie Abreu, Alan Tachikawa, and Eric Mueller. The women's team was led by senior cocap tains Marguerite Rupsis and Mandy McCullin and junior co captain Eliza Hart. The highlight of the in door season was clearly the final meet at Virginia Tech. Only twelve team members competed, but almost everyone walked away with a personal best score. Peter Rae broke the indoor high jump record and Abreu broke the record for the 200meter dash. The women's team shattered records that day. Kary Brock set record speeds in the 55meter hurdles, as did Jane Cofie in the
Sports 174
200meter dash and Eliza Hart in the 400meter dash. Hart also broke the 300meter dash record earlier in the season. The outdoor season con tinued to have successful meets. Important meets included the Spider Relays and the CAA Con ference Meet at William and Mary. At the conference cham pionships, Rae won the high jump with a height of 6'5". Dana Rosen placed 6th in the 10,000 meter, and Mandy Hester placed third in both discus and javelin. The team as a whole had a great year; every athlete put in a 100% effort.

Qoif The Spiders' head coach Nat Withers is entering his 21st year, which gives him the longest tenure of any coach at the Uni versity of Richmond. In ten of the past thirteen years, the Spi ders have finished no worse than second in the Colonial Athletic Association, winning three team championships. This year's team is headed by cocaptain's Matt McDougall and Ken McDonald. Senior Matt McDougall has started for the past three years, playing a key role in the teams success. During the summer he competed and played well in many amateur events, which has carried over to the season. Sophomore Ken MacDonald holds the school record4 under parwhich he shot last year at the ECU tournament. He is so valu able because of his consistency. New to the team this year are freshmen Joe Horowitz, Chris Hynes, and Bryan Stark. The future looks bright as these three newcomers each have dif ferent strongpoints that should
Sports 176
develop into a good mix of start ers. Stark is an excellent ball striker with better than average length, but he lacks consistency in his short game. Joe Horowitz played very well during the sea son, and he appears to be making a smooth adjustment onto the team. Hynes contended for play ing time during the spring and showed why he was selected the 1996 U.S. Challenge cup player of the year. Coach Withers has led the Spiders to eight overall team titles and has had ten individual tournament winners in his ten ure. He spends his time as both golf coach and professor of math and computer science. Greg Torretti

Men's Tennis Although the Spider Men's Tennis Team began regu lar play with a 61 loss to Wake Forest, it would not overshadow their playing abilities for the re maining season. Much of the team's driving success was led by senior Scott Pfeiffer at No. 1 singles. Pfeiffer consistently won his matches and could al ways be counted upon to pull the team to victory. If you were to ever talk with Pfeiffer, you would find out that he has made the most of his playing time here at Richmond. "There is no other team or no other coach that I would rather have played for," he said about his experience. His leadership as captain and his pure talent on the court were always respected by the other teammates. Also key to this year's team was junior Alex Howard at No. 2, sophomore Aljosa Piric at No. 3, and senior Jason Kermode at No. 4. Junior Brock Parker and freshman Robert Flader rounded out the team at No. 5 and No. 6, respectively. These six often
Sports 178
also paired up with one another to make up the top three doubles teams. Throughout the season, victories against the competition were always significant, as the team often shut out their oppo nents. Perhaps, though, the high light of the year came around February and March. During this time, the Spider team went on an impressive five game winning streak defeating Old Dominion, Hampton, St. John's, American, and UNC Wilmington. Pfeiffer and Kermode will be severely missed next year, but fortunately graduation will only take away these two players. With the remaining solid core of experienced players returning for next year's season, this Spider team will be ready to take on anyone who comes in their way. Kelly Thomas

He is a fulltime coach without any other responsi bilities in the athletic depart ment, so he can devote all of his time to the squad. The tennis program gives a full set of scholarships, allowing some of the finest women in the sport to come to the Uni versity of Richmond. Last year, the squad set a high standard for future teams to live up to. They finished off their 19961997 season with a second place finish in the CAA champion ships. Their season record of 124 allowed them to advance to the NCAA regional tourna ment.

Women's The women's lacrosse team enjoyed its 40th anniversary of being a Division I team, an accom plishment for any school. The women's lacrosse team, however, faced constant challengs throughout the season. The team most often played the top ten teams in the divi sion, including UVA, UNC, and Loyola. Against these teams, Richmond's women held their own and showed their skill and preserverence. Although the team lost more games than it won, the team was proud to say they could compete against the top teams and win. A great memory for the upperclass members was last year's win against the number six seed, Georgetown. Senior Susanna Pitts shared, "The team's scores don't represent the team's efforts very well. The team plays great and we put in a lot of practice time. It really is an accomplishment just to hold our own against the top ten teams of the division. I think the team will get even better over the next years, with heavier recruitments."

The women's lacrosse team was a very young team, allow ing a lot of room for growth for following years. This was the first year the team used a zone defense, which proved to be a helpful asset for the team's defense game. Indi vidual members' highlights also show the team will be a powerhouse to beat in following years. Anne Heine earned a position on the first team of the CAAs. Meredith Ryan and Carol Knerr were 2nd team nominees. The team members feel they do not get enough support from the school, but it may attract more students in the upcoming years. In conjunction with the new alumne center, a new field was installed by the President's house with scoreboards and bleachers. Hope fully, the bleachers will fill over the next few years, as the team improves its game and improves its winning record. Lisa Sommermeyer

CCuS Crew "It's the most fulfilling life experience I have ever had and it's the hardest thing I have ever done in my college career," shares Senior Doug Thomen about attending the national Dad Vail races on the Schulykill River in Philadelphia. Now a senior, Thomen recalls this experience as the highlight of his life. He and three other crew members willed themselves to train for this championship on personal time and set a precedent for future years. Never before had the team attended this important meet, bring ing together top crew teams from all around the nation, and Thomen will proudly return to Dad Vail with more teammates this summer before the graduation commencement. Thomen's dedication to crew represents the spirit of his team. All crew members awake when many other students are just getting some shut eye. Crew mem bers practice daily at 5 am on the James River. The team's hard work lasts all year round, too. When the team isn't competing in the fall and spring seasons, they train on land.

When they are home, each member has an individual regimen. Even during spring break, the team con tinues improving their race, by at tending Camp Cooper in South Carolina. Junior Laura Skowronski admits crew requires a lot of work, but she also says it's a lot of fun. "The team always remembers to have fun and enjoy each other's company. We all meet and have pre race dinners and we even have a spring formal, called Bowball." All the hours of perfecting rowing skills and building team work definitely pays off for the team. At Occoquan Chase in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the light weight men's four won first place among their division. The highlight of the season will definitely be Dad Vail, to see how the team competes against some of the best teams in the nation. The race will also let mem bers get a glimpse of the euphoria Thomen experienced last year, hopefully inspiring crew members to continue attending the race in pursuit of the best natural high.
