Kissinger succeeds Thatcher


During the summer the College's Board of Visitors elected Dr. Henry Kissinger as the 22nd Chancellor of the College. Kissinger is succeeding former Prime Minister Lady Margaret Thatcher, who completed her seven-year term in June.

"I am honored and delighted to follow my friends Lady Thatcher and the late Chief Justice Warren Burger in the chancellorship of the College of William and Mary," Kissinger said. "Over 300 years of its existence, William and Mary has educated three United States presidents, numerous senators and congressmen and many others who have contributed mightily to our nation and world.

Owners Don and Geri Pratt opened the coffee shop for business June 18 and were surprised by the abundant turnout the cafe immediately received.

Editorial: Highway Robbery

Last year, students made rather irreverent T-shirts declaring in bold type "I hate parking services." If that describes last year, this year's tone can only get worse.

Barring the use of expletives, the parking situation on this campus has degenerated into a nightmare, but we refuse to beat a dead horse without giving suggestions for improvements.

Chinese in your future

A day of peace, love and College music brought together last Saturday in Alexandria, Va., when alumni and students gathered for the first annual event. Campus bands such as Man Mountain Junior, the Velveteens and The Buddy System performed Saturday at the first Tribestock. Held at Jones Point Park, the Washington, D.C., chapter of the Alumni Association organized the event. Current vice president Elmer Bigley and former president John Fedawa, both '89 graduates, were the masterminds behind the daylong outdoor festival.

The idea sprung from an effort to get bands on a local show called "Friday Night Live," which then evolved into an outdoor show. Bigley jokingly referred to the event as "Tribestock" and the name stuck.

REVIEWS

Chick rock for both sexes

Most mainstream listeners have never heard of Kina. Chances are they will never hear of her again, but despite the relative obscurity of her debut, the disc is worth repeated play. In fact, even someone who is hypercritical when it comes to new music could manage to like it.

Kina's got a good amount of variety, ranging from hard and aggressive, like Boston drivers, to cool and mellow, like a quality beer.

No. 16 UVa. downs No. 13 W&M in opener


Entering the season as the 13th-ranked team in the NSCAA/Adidas poll, expectations are high for the Tribe women's soccer team. The team kicked off the season with a loss to 16th-ranked Univer-sity of Virginia, but rebounded quickly to defeat the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.

Coming off last season's stellar season (a 19-4 overall record and Colonial Athletic Association Champions), the Green and Gold need to fill the gaping hole left by the departure of All-American Missy Wycinsky.
