Queen Elizabeth II of England will visit the College Friday, May 4, during her trip to the commonwealth, College President Gene Nichol said today in an e-mail sent to students.

p. According to Buckingham Palace, the Queen will arrive in Williamsburg on the evening of May 3. She will visit the Jamestown settlement on May 4 and will attend a luncheon at the Governor’s Palace on Duke of Gloucester Street that afternoon, when she will also visit the College.

p. “We look forward to welcoming Her Majesty back to William & Mary,” Nichol said in his e-mail. “It is the highest of honors. Reaffirming a unique kinship — tracing the steps of a still-talked-about visit of 50 years ago — again sharing the heart of this singular community with The Queen. I look forward to it immensely.”

p. Nichol said that the College is not permitted to reveal the Queen’s plans for her visit, but he has notified Buckingham Palace about College tradition and this year’s senior class.

p. Nichol also canceled classes for the day, the last scheduled day of classes for the year.

p. He acknowledged that the cancellations may pose some problems for students and faculty.

p. “The announcement, I’ll concede, comes closer to the events than is ideal,” he said. “But these limitations inhere in a royal visit. And they will also, we hope, help sustain a unique opportunity for all. Including, I’d note, the College’s staff, for whom appropriate leave will be offered to participate.”

p. Vice President for Student Affairs Sam Sadler said that the College is planning a brief, public ceremony in the Wren courtyard that afternoon.

p. He expects thousands to attend.

p. “It’s pretty exciting for the College,” Sadler said. “The Queen is making two public appearances in Williamsburg, and one will be on our campus.”

p. Sadler also said that the Queen expressed a special wish to return to the College, which she last visited in 1957.

p. “It’s very rare that a British monarch comes to an American university,” Sadler said. “We should all feel very honored. [The visit] really reflects our heritage as a university that was founded by the [British] crown.”

p. Sadler acknowledged that canceling classes was a “challenging decision,” but noted that holding classes would be impractical with so many public attendees and security concerns.

p. “We’ve moved all end-of-class, Blowout activities to Thursday,” Sadler said.

p. He added that the Queen will be accompanied by state police, the secret service and British security. Magnetometers will be placed around the Wren building and all visitors will be screened for security purposes.

p. Printed below is Nichol’s e-mail to students.

p. Dear Students:

p. It’s been said — perhaps you’ve heard — that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will visit the Commonwealth late next week. What hasn’t been shared, until Buckingham Palace gave us permission this morning, is that Her Majesty will spend some time with us at the College on Friday, May 4. We look forward to welcoming Her Majesty back to William & Mary. It is the highest of honors. Reaffirming a unique kinship — tracing the steps of a still-talked-about visit of 50 years ago — again sharing the heart of this singular community with The Queen. I look forward to it immensely.

p. We are bound, for a while longer, not to share too much of The Queen’s itinerary. But I would say that we have talked often with palace staff about the senior class, our traditions, the Wren Building, and its historic bell.

p. It’s possible that some of you have looked forward to May 4, long scheduled as the last day of classes, for somewhat different reasons. But to arrange for a William and Mary welcome worthy of The Queen, Provost Feiss and I have agreed to cancel classes on May 4, making the last day of classes Thursday, May 3. This will pose challenges. And the announcement, I’ll concede, comes closer to the events than is ideal. But these limitations inhere in a royal visit. And they will also, we hope, help sustain a unique opportunity for all. Including, I’d note, the College’s staff, for whom appropriate leave will be offered to participate.

p. We’ll have more to say in the coming days, through e-mail and through the web site www.wm.edu/hermajesty/ about how you can help welcome The Queen.

p. Go Tribe. Hark upon the Gale.

The U.S. News & World Report college rankings may soon be officially boycotted by colleges and universities across the nation, according to an April 12 article in The Christian Science Monitor.

p. The article states that many schools refused to fill out the surveys used to calculate rankings, and “efforts are now afoot for a collective boycott. The ‘reputational survey,’ as it’s called, asks college administrators to rank the quality of hundreds of schools on a one to five scale,” which counts for 25 percent of the rankings.

p. “[Our] methodology has been refined over 20-plus years in our efforts to find the best way to assess the quality of education each university has to offer,” a U.S. News & World Report spokesman said.

p. The article cites an op-ed written by Michele Tolela Myers, President of Sarah Lawrence College, for The Washington Post. Two years ago, she decided to eliminate SAT scores from the admissions process, and discontinue providing said information to U.S. News.

p. Myers claims that U.S. News told her that “the magazine will calculate the college’s ranking by assuming an arbitrary average SAT score of one standard deviation (approximately 200 points) below the average score of our peer group.”

p. According to The Christian Science Monitor article, U.S. News executive editor Brian Kelly, has stated that this was a miscommunication and the magazine will not use this method.
An admissions officer at St. John’s College in Annapolis, Md. said that St. John’s has asked to not be included in the rankings at all. St. John’s was formerly ranked anywhere from the third tier to the top 25 schools before pulling out.

p. Lloyd Thacker, executive director of The Education Conservancy in Portland, Ore. a non-profit organization that seeks to improve the college admissions process, came up with the idea of an official boycott and is orchestrating the campaign.

p. Thacker and a group of college presidents wrote a letter sent to college presidents asking them to not fill out the survey as well as to refrain from using the U.S. News rankings in promotional materials. So far, eight presidents have agreed to endorse the letter.

p. “The rankings do a great disservice to education by overestimating the prestige of a college,” Thacker said. “The past 20 years have witnessed the commercialization of [admissions].”
The rankings, according to U.S. News, will not suffer in breadth or legitimacy with the decrease in participation.

p. “If a handful of colleges … decide not to complete the peer survey, it won’t affect the rankings’ statistical significance,” the U.S. News spokesman said.

p. Thacker believes that the four major components of the U.S. News rankings (average SAT scores, the reputation of the school, the selectivity of the school and the amount of alumni giving) are calculated disproportionately.

p. When asked about how influential these rankings can be, the spokesman for U.S. News stated that “clearly there is a demand, even a hunger for this information.”

p. Henry Broaddus, Dean of Admission at the College, stated that the College will not be participating in the boycott, but is aware of the limitations of the rankings.

p. “The most important single criterion in the U.S. News methodology is the so-called institutional reputation survey completed by presidents, provosts and deans of admission. We don’t know and can’t know enough about other institutions to grade them with credible authority … [the rankings are] not accurate with respect to any purported ability to make hairline distinctions between colleges and universities.”

The Student Health Center is currently in the process of conducting its annual patient satisfaction survey. Last year’s feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with 99 percent satisfaction rates in “The SHC staff had a positive attitude,” “The SHC staff respected the confidentiality and privacy of my health,” “I was treated with respect and dignity,” and “My concerns were listened to and considered.”

p. The survey is a two-minute anonymous questionnaire, conducted electronically by the front desk as a patient exits the center. Last year, 398 students were surveyed and asked to provide a grade in the form of a percentile that reflects the SHC’s strength in twelve different areas.

p. The lowest was a 94 percent satisfaction rate in response to the statement, “Specific lifestyle modifications to prevent or reduce my condition were communicated to me.”

p. The College’s health center is one of less than 10 percent of university health centers that is nationally accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care.

p. Sophomore Eddie Baldwin had a positive experience at the SHC when he was afflicted with a serious case of allergic conjunctivitis.
“When I went in the nursing staff was really kind,” he said. “They tended to me before opening hours, called the hospital and did everything they could. I am really grateful to them for that.”

p. The center functions like any primary care doctor’s office. Students are encouraged to call the appointment line if they have a health issue, and about 60 to 70 percent of cases can be seen in the same day.

p. The center employs four doctors, two nurse practitioners, one physician assistant, five nurses and a pharmacist. If someone has an urgent illness, they can usually be seen immediately or transferred to the hospital.

p. According to Dr. Gail Moses, director of the health center, the center sees approximately 135 patients per day, but only one patient per week, on average, is transferred to the hospital by ambulance. Twenty-five to 30 patients a week are referred to specialists.

p. Student cases usually peak on Monday and Friday mornings because only patients with urgent problems are able to access the center on Saturdays.

p. However, students may call the Ask a Nurse Line with health questions. The health center coordinates closely with the College administration during times when contagious illnesses are affecting a large number of students.

p. “We communicate with the administration of the College to address public health issues, for instance during the time of the norovirus, we asked that facilities management clean the bathrooms more often,” Moses said. “We also maintain communication with our public health department.”

p. The SHC also maintains a close relationship with the counseling center. According to Moses, patients are often referred back and forth.

p. “We collaborate as a team,” Moses said. “They are a highly skilled, incredible group of professionals.”

p. The SHC also employs two health educators. One focuses on substance issues and the other focuses on mental, sexual and nutritional health.

p. These educators are available to hold programs for any student group interested in a specific health education topic. The substance abuse educator implemented AlcoholEdu last year.
Recent programs also include offering the new HPV vaccination, Gardasil, and revamping women’s health services.

He was supposed to be the leader of the New School Revolution. He was supposed to be the “rogue” or “maverick” senator, the one with the cojones to stand up to Ryan Scofield and company. The one who, perhaps more than any other senator, was to provide the fresh addition that the stuffy, government major-laden Student Assembly senate so sorely needed.

p. But the revolution never got off the ground.

p. Sophomore Sean Sheppard says he got lost in the formality of the senate and faded into the background.

p. “I didn’t talk much,” Sheppard said. “I didn’t really do that much that is measurable by the current SA standards. I didn’t go to a lot of committee meetings. I was secretary and, apparently, one of the liaisons [between the senate and executive department]. I never met with the executive department. I just didn’t do what I was supposed to do because I don’t — and I hate to say [this] — I don’t like wasting my time for something I know wouldn’t yield tangible results.”

p. Sheppard attributes part of the reason for his lack of accomplishment this past year to the fact that all the people he ran with in the election last year lost.

p. Last year, fellow New School Revolution members sophomores Brad Clark, Stephan Jensen and Scott Williamson all saw their senate campaigns end in defeat, and SA presidential and vice presidential candidates Sean Barker and Constance Sisk, both seniors, were also defeated.

p. “I was very by myself,” Sheppard said. “That attitude definitely affected me throughout the entire year.”

p. In answering questions for this interview at the UC couches, Sheppard showed that he still possesses the same unique qualities that got him elected senator last year. He is currently designing his own major, Campus Activism and Education Reform, although he does not yet have enough credits to declare, saying that he is “mad far behind in [my] schoolwork.”

p. His ability to hold extended conversation on just about any topic regarding the College is remarkable. He often goes off on tangents he tastefully refers to as “diarrhea of the mouth,” where he’ll pose questions such as, “Why doesn’t the College buy the College Delly?” He possesses the charm of a politician, but none of the political correctness or rhetoric.

p. Sheppard says that he regrets his lack of performance this year.

p. “I regret that I was overcome by all the weirdness of the senate,” he said. “I wish that I had just seen it, processed it, and decided ‘I’m going to change this, this, this and this,’ and shared my ideas more vocally. And I didn’t. I was just like ‘this is stupid, man … fuck the man,’ more or less, ‘fuck the senate,’ and I did that for a whole year, more or less.”

p. After deciding to run for re-election this year, Sheppard ran a campaign that would make Karl Rove’s head explode. He led off by writing an opinion column for The Flat Hat in which he admitted how little work he did (“I miss a lot of committee meetings,” he wrote. “The ones that I go to, I rarely take minutes.”), did nothing to mention any of the work he actually did do and challenged students to hold their elected officials accountable.

p. “On March 29, cast your SA vote wisely and demand something for your commitment,” he wrote.

p. When all the votes were finally tallied, Sheppard was re-elected. He slid into fourth place, the last spot, with 42 percent of the vote, defeating his closest challenger sophomore John Constance by only 15 votes.

p. “Enough people understood what I was saying and realized that I was being honest and to the point,” Sheppard said.

p. SA President-elect Zach Pilchen, who worked with Sheppard as a Class of 2009 senator last year, called Sheppard’s campaign, “the most honest, well-intentioned senate campaign run in a long time.”

p. Constance had a different take.

p. “I think the election results clearly show that it’s not what you do that gets you elected, it’s how many people you know,” Constance said. “By his own remarks and statements, Sean has no desire to positively represent those who re-elected him into office.”
Sheppard disagreed with Constance’s statements.

p. “I don’t think [the opinions column] says that I don’t plan on doing anything, I think it says that I didn’t do anything,” he said.

p. Despite his own claims of lack of accomplishment, Sheppard tied for fifth in The Flat Hat’s “Fall 2006 SA Senate Report Card rankings.” Two of his fellow Class of 2009 senators from last year, Walter McClean and Pilchen (the third, Matt Beato, did not reply to an interview request), have high praise for Sheppard’s work and ingenuity.

p. “I often wish I had Sean’s big-picture perspective, because it’s easy to forget that the SA is meant to serve the students,” McClean said.

p. Sheppard has several ideas of how to make the SA senate less of a “recommendation body” and more of a direct representative body of the students.

p. He wants to establish a Student Activities Council that would be elected by student organizations and then would take care of the activity budgetary process instead of the senate.

p. He also wants the senate to write a recommendation to the school administration requesting more power for the student government. He believes the only way this can ultimately be achieved is if the student body takes an active part in this.

p. Sheppard has a fair share of experience in campus activism, as he is involved in Students for a Democratic Society. While there are no officers in SDS, Sheppard is among the 12 or so most involved members. He is currently busy planning a convention for the group to be held at the College April 20 to 22.

p. As for next year, Sheppard says that he is ready to get to work and make a difference. He has a year of experience in dealing with the formalities and structure of the senate under his belt, and his like-minded friend Pilchen (with whom he was once in a faux Facebook relationship) is taking over the reigns as SA president.
His claims of being alone and unaware of the rules of the game will not cut it next year. For Sheppard, there are no more excuses.

p. “If I don’t do anything this year, I am a scumbag,” Sheppard said.

Although their bid to become Student Assembly President
and Vice President was unsuccessful, juniors Brad Potter and
Brett Phillips say they’ll continue working to improve student
life at the College.

p. “It’s funny, after losing the election, one door closed and it
feels like five have opened; I’m excited to see where those doors
take me. One thing can be certain, service of some kind will be
involved,” Potter said in an e-mail.

p. Neither Potter nor Phillips has immediate plans to work with
the Student Assembly next year.

p. “That’s nothing to do with not wanting to help out, or anything
like that,” Phillips said. “I’m going to use this opportunity
to do some other things.”

p. The two rising seniors expressed excitement about working
with the Student Chamber of Commerce (SCC), which Potter
founded in January.

p. According to Phillips, the SCC “is geared toward making the
connection between the student body and the outside community
in terms of the economy and local business.”

p. He described the SCC as a form of economic networking,
linking students seeking services and jobs to businesses searching
for customers and employees.

p. “There is a lot on and off campus that advocates can do to
better student life, and the SCC will be playing a big role in the
future,” Potter said. “The Student Assembly is one means of
helping the community, but by no means the only way.”

p. Phillips talked about setting up “a website sort of like ‘Consumer Reports,’” ranking student businesses and providing information on where to find basic but difficult-to-locate services.
He also mentioned supporting the FlexCar plan that was part of
their campaign, nothing that “we don’t need to be in the SA to
accomplish that.”

p. Outside of their goals to improve student life, Potter and Phillips
said they would look for opportunities to reconnect with
campus.

p. “I want to get involved in one of the spring break service trips
next year,” Potter said. “In the classroom, I’m going to be writing
an honors thesis in IR and a senior project in physics, so I’ll
be more than busy finishing my double major.”

p. With their lengthy SA careers coming to a close, both will be
transitioning back to life outside of student government.

p. “Just coming off running for student body president, there’s
a little bit of a void not being affiliated with student government
anymore. I’m not going to be involved in Student Assembly,”
Phillips said. “Probably just going to be a student again.”

The tragedy at Virginia Tech has had a strong impact on the College community. The Counseling Center, located in Blow Memorial Hall, is available to those students who desire help coping with the tragedy.

p. The flow of students who have sought counseling has been steady since Monday, with surges of busy periods intermittently. Thursday has been the busiest day thus far. Associate Director of the Counseling Center Jan Pattis said that it is because students are beginning to process the tragedy.

p. Pattis said that the Counseling Center has done everything it can to accommodate the students who wish to talk to a counselor. Tuesday, the Counseling Center set aside an hour and a half for walk-in students. Each of the counselors worked with their regular clients to accommodate students who needed to process what
had occurred at Virginia Tech. Some of the clients agreed to share their time with these students, so that the needs of all who sought help were met.

p. Pattis referred to an article from the American Psychological Association that is available to students which offers tips on how to deal with this tragedy. She stresses that the best thing is for students to look after one another and to listen to each other.

p. “Sometimes talking to a peer is just as healing, if not more so, than talking to a professional,” she said.

p. Pattis also advised students to take a break from the news, to turn off the electronic media. The students have been inundated with news about the tragedy, and it is okay to think about other things, she said.

p. “Students should take care of themselves. I’m talking basics. Eat well, continue to engage in physical activity, sleep well, rest. Avoid alcohol and drugs, which can interfere with experiencing natural emotions,” she said.

p. If a student knows someone at Virginia Tech who is seeking help from a friend, Pattis said that the best thing to do is to let him or her know that you are there and to listen. In addition to the services provided by the Counseling Center during its normal operating hours, the College offers some other methods of coping. Group sessions were offered at 5:00 p.m. Vice President for Student Affairs Sam Sadler welcomed both students and staff who wished to attend.

p. Pattis stressed that the Counseling Center’s goal is to be available and see students as they walk in if possible and defi nitely on the same day they wish to make an appointment.

__Students react to the tragedy with demonstrations of support for Virginia Tech__

As the Virginia Tech community recoils from Monday’s tragic shooting, college communities nationwide are showing their support. Reacting to the tragedy, the College’s Student Assembly quickly organized a candlelight vigil. Students gathered in the Wren courtyard Monday night to listen to College President Gene Nichol and Vice President for Student Affairs Sam Sadler speak.

p. Sophomores Zach Pilchen and Valerie Hopkins, the newly inaugurated president and vice president of the Student Assembly, began the vigil while candles were being distributed among students.

p. In another show of support, sophomores Katie McCown and Christina Hoffman, as well as senior Mike Morrissey, created a banner for students to sign that will be sent to Virginia Tech.

p. “We couldn’t just sit there without doing something to help relay our thoughts and sympathies to Tech while concurrently giving the students here an outlet,” McCown said.

p. The three students communicated their idea to former SA president Ryan Scofield and other members of the student government and decided to unveil the banner at the vigil service Monday.

p. The original six-foot-long banner has now been extended because of a huge student reception, and it now extends about 36 feet, McCown said.

p. “When we came up with the idea for the banner, it was mostly a way to help students send their thoughts and prayers to Tech.” McCown said. “The banner has really helped foster unity.”

p. Scofield said that he hoped that the student-organized responses “provide an outlet to express their grief and to experience the overwhelming sense of community that means so much to all of us here at the College.”

p. “Having dealt with feelings of grief “Having dealt with feelings of
grief while at college, we wanted to show Tech that they are not
alone.” McCown said. “As has been continuously repeated in the last few days, ‘Today, we are all Hokies.'”

p. Throughout the College campus, student reactions to the Virginia Tech tragedies were visible. As a small sign of support, a
large number of College students changed their Facebook profile
pictures to black ribbons with the Virginia Tech logo. Others showed their support by sporting Virginia Tech gear and wearing orange and maroon ribbons. Friday is “Orange and Maroon Effect” Day.

__The College’s crisis management team is working to increase emergency preparedness__

According to Vice President for Student Affairs Sam Sadler, the College has a crisis management team with a set series of response procedures in the event of an emergency on campus. Prior to the shootings Monday at Virginia Tech, the crisis management team was taking steps to improve communication with students in the event of an emergency.

p. “We are really excited about implementing a new system about getting the word out to students,” Sadler said. “We’re planning a system of e-mail communication with voicemail messages as back up.”

p. Sadler said that the crisis management team is in the process of discussing and completing a contract that would give the College new message transmission technology. The system would allow, in the event of a crisis, an individual to send out messages to students through voicemail, text messaging and e-mail. The messages would all go out to everyone at the same time.

p. “The system is not like a computerized e-mail system,” he said. “The messages to students would go out simultaneously.”

p. He said that the problem with sending messages through e-mail is that it can take two or three hours for the information to reach students. In addition to being able to send out three different messages simultaneously, the system would be able to track if students did not answer their room phones or if the messages did not get through.

p. Sadler said that he hoped within a few days the College would have a contract to speed up the implementation of this service. He said he was unsure of when the system would be in place, but he talked to Information Technology Wednesday morning and is hoping to have negotiations finished soon.

p. “It would certainly be good if we could get it in place before next year,” he said.

p. The Board of Visitors discussed the College’s emergency plans at a special session at Thursday’s meeting. They held both an open and a closed session. BOV Rector Michael Powell said that the closed session was important in order to keep some plans secret.

p. “A lot of this we don’t want out,” he said to the Board. “[There are things] you don’t tell the enemy.”

p. The BOV discussed at length the potential of the new communication system. Sadler stressed that it was important for the College to have an effective system of student communication.

p. “A system like this could make a real difference,” he said. “With a new system, it would take an instant to call everybody. If you have a cell phone number, no matter where you are, the message can reach you.”

p. Addressing concerns of members of the Board, Sadler and other members of the crisis management team offered suggestions as to how to make the program most effective. One crisis management team member suggested ensuring all classrooms be equipped with phones to ensure the message reaches all students. Some BOV members suggested looking into a campus-wide alarm system.

p. “Our fire alarm system has a voice message system,” Chief of Police Don Challis said to the BOV. He added that in case students were outside and could not be contacted that there were ways of officers in police vehicles to signal to students.

p. “However, no system is going to contact everyone,” he said.

p. Sadler added that starting this year, the College has required students to give a local telephone number and address in order for the crisis management team to be able to best contact students in the event of an emergency.

p. Powell stressed at the meeting it was important for the College to find ways of not only informing students of an emergency, but also giving them instructions.

p. “If [one-third of the students] see this message, they will become the network,” he said. “The fire will go fast if you can populate it to enough people.”

p. Director of News Services for University Relations Brian Whitson said he had witnessed a demonstration of the new technology and called it “impressive.”

p. “They demonstrated it in a meeting and, all at once, our cell phones rang instantly,” he said.

p. Nichol commented on the events at Virginia Tech and said that the safety of students was of the College’s “greatest concern.” He emphasized that the crisis management team had done a good job of responding to student needs in the past.

p. “Our job now is to be more vigilant,” he said. “Plans must be improved and they can never be seen as complete.”

p. Sadler emphasized that the crisis management team went into effect at the College immediately after the school found out about the tragedy. The student mental health center changed its hours in order to accommodate students.

p. He added that the events at Virginia Tech will cause colleges to look at the systems they have in place and see what changes should be made and said that he didn’t want to speculate too much about what the College would do in a similar situation.

p. “I don’t think that helps them right now,” he said. “I feel so sorry for them, it’s almost like a circus environment with all the media on campus. What-ifs are complicated.”

p. He did say had a similar event happened on campus as the police would have been notified and dispatched immediately.

p. “Initially we [probably] would have sealed off the building,” he said. “At least we would have sealed off the floor area. But, it’s hard without all of the details.”

p. He added that the crisis management team has dealt with several emergencies in the past and has had a lot of practice. He pointed to Hurricane Isabel and most recently, the gas leak in Rogers Hall last semester. However, he said that there were always chances for the College to improve its system.

p. “[Virginia Tech] is a teachable moment for all of us,” he said.
