A typical Bobbing occ urs in hi office on the third floor of Eustis, where he can be found

HILL SIDES

Andrew Young, former mayor of Atlanta and co cha ir of the 1 996 U.S. Olympic Committee, wasn't always a household name in Georgia. There was a t ime when he was afraid even to drive through the state. "I saw a ign that said, 'Wel� come to Georgia,' and I - knew that d idn't mean me," i Young recalled in a speech at the Ralph J . Bunche Andrew Young Sympo ium on October l. "The only time I slowed down in Georgia wa when I saw a rat cros ing the road. I lowed down because I figured the rat had more rights than blacks in Georgia." Ironically, aid the former congre sman and ambassador to the United Nations, the town of Stone Mountain-once a Ku Klux Klan stronghold- now i welcoming athletes of all colors for the Olympic . "The Olympics have rallied the community. Things have really changed," aid Young, who believe the Olympics-generated economic boom has broken down racial barriers in Georgia. In his introductory remarks, Chri t ian A. J ohn on Dist inguished Professor of Hi tory Robert We isbrot tressed the sim ilarities be twee Bunche and Young, includ ing how they "both taught in tough t i me for African A mericans and . . . showed how courage can overcome fear and mi trust . " Awarded the Nobel Prize i n 1 950 fo r h i s successful negotiation in the M iddle East following the war for I raeli independence, Bunche participated with Young and Dr. Martin Luther K ing Jr. in the Freedom March from Selma to Montgomery, Ala. Bunche, who Young said inspired him, endured hard h ip as a young man-the early death of h i mother, a n alcoholic father and poverty. "All the symbols of the poor today were present for Ralph Bunche," Young said. "But he overcame them." According to Young, Bunche's accomplishment re ulted from his pre-civil rights upbringing and unselfishness. "Part of the secret of Ralph, which he learned in the deep South, was [that] if he could solve the problems of the white folks, [his] problems would be olved," he said. "[He] was not afraid to let others take the credit, and when you're not afraid to let others take the credit, a lot more work can be accomplished. That's the k ind of man he wa ." In addition to the symposium, which commemorates Bunche's accomplishments and ideals, Colby annually provides scholarship to students of color in his name. Bunche, who d ied in 1 97 1 and whose son Ralph Jr. gradu ated from Colby in 1965, gave the 1 95 2 commencement address at Colby. +

Network News

All student rooms in Mary Low, Foss, Woodman, Averill, Coburn, Ea t and West Quads, John on and mo t of Roberts Row have been hard wired to the College' computer network. This allows students acce s to the College's mainframe computer and World Wide Web without using a modem. Approximately 55 percent of all re idence hall rooms on campu have been hard wired with the remainder scheduled to be equipped by next fall.

Ice Guy

J im Tortorella, last sea on's as istant, has been named head men's ice hockey coach following the resignation of Scott Borek, who accepted the head coaching job at Lake uperior State Univer ity in Michigan. A two-time State of Maine Coach of the Year at Cony High School in Augusta, Tortorella was an assistant coach at the University of New Hampshire before coming to Colby. He graduated in 1 98 1 from the University of Maine, where he was a standout player for the Black Bears.

Silver Memories

As the world marked the 5 0th anniver ary of the end of World War II and Colby remembered its 60 sons who were killed in the war's battles, alumni and friends gathered thi summer to recall the conflict that still influences their lives.

Tarja Raag, assi tant profe or of psychology, trongly advocates bringing re earch into the cla sroom. Previously a visiting professor at Kenyon College- he received her Ph.D. from Indiana University in 1 992Raag believes students learn more if they see the subjects they are reading about. "By learning about psychology through actual hands-on lab experiences, students receive a better education than if they simply sit in a class room," she said. The opportunity to work closely with students was one of the attractions of Colby, Raag says. "It is much more satisfying from the teacher's perspective to have small classes and to teach students who have a wide range of educational interests and backgrounds," she said. Raag's research interests include studying how infants and adults perceive and re pond to different emo tional tones of voice. She also is interested in studying what factors are involved in children's preferences for toys and how they use those toys. "Colby is unique in that it offers a lot of support for re earch," Raag said. "It wa very important to me to find a chool that provided plenty of research opportuni ties, and many liberal arts chools do not."

in structor in envi.ronmental studies and government, comes to Colby from Har vard, where she will defend her Ph.D. dissertation in December. She has re searched various aspects of international environmental law-particularly how U.S. environmental sanctions have influenced interna tional relations-and she also has studied ozone depletion and attempts to

Elizabeth DeSombre,

regulate open-ocean fishing. DeSombre feels at home at a liberal arts college; she attended Oberlin as an undergraduate. "I wanted to be at a place where both teaching and research are

valued, where student are intere ted and excited about learning," he aid. "So far the students seem willing to work hard and chal lenge the conventional wisdom, and they didn't even complain too much about the ninety four dollar course pack I made them buy," DeSombre said. DeSombre has lived most of her l i.fe in cities. "But the campus is so beautiful it almost makes me forget that I like cities so much," she said.

New Yark Times columnist Anthony Lewis

and Newsweek syndicated columnist J ane Bryant Quinn each quoted President William Cotter i.n articles critical ofrecent attempts by a Louisiana congressman to link federal aid to private colleges with policies regardi.ng single sex fraternities. Cotter was one of three col lege presidents-along with those from M iddlebury and Bowdoi.n-who received let ters from Rep. Bob Livingston, a nine-term Republican who hi.nted that colleges that ban fraternities outright may be deprived of fed eral research grants and federal student aid funds. Livi.ngston, who chairs the House Ap propriations Committee, asked the three col leges for assurances that they would end their "discrimi.nation" against fraternities. Cotter told Lewis, " if one Congress can say you must have fraternities, the next one can say you can't have them. Those deci sions should be for private colleges." Quinn, who quoted Cotter as saying, "Do you want Congre s deciding on what kinds of groups are allowed on college campuses?", said he was correct in upholding the colleges' au tonomy on the issue.

Proof Positive Associate ProfessorofMathematics Fernan do Gouvea received the Lester R. Ford Award for exceptional expository excellence from the Mathematical Association of America. Gouvea's article, "A Marvelous Proof," which appeared in the American Mathemati cal Monthly in 1 994, discus es the concepts behind mathematician Andrew Wiles's proof of Fermat' Last Theorem.

Assistant Professor ofEconomics Michael Donihue '79 told the Associated Press that workers in Maine, like their counterparts nationwide, are not benefitting from recent corporate profits. "Workers j ust aren't getting the share of the pie that they should," said Donihue, who last year worked for President Clinton's Council of Economic Advisors. "Not all of the news is bad, however," Donihue said in the AP article, which wa widely publ ished in New England. "Stag nant wages are keeping inflation in check thus reduci.ng the effects of less than robust earnings," he said.

The Price of Democracy A study co-written by Associate Professor of Government Tany Corrado, paraphrased in articles by the AtlantaJournal & Constitu tion and Newsweek, among many other me d ia outlets, found that al though U . S . campaign costs topped $ 3 billion i n 1 992, they were not significantly higher than two years before after adjustment for inflation. The study, conducted by Corrado and Herbert Alexander, a University of South ern California political scientist, pointed out that the $ 3 . 2 billion spent on the pre i dential campaign was less than Americans spend annually on dog food and less than annual advertising budgets of Proctor and Gamble and Phillip Morris. The report, "Fi.nancing the 1 992 Election," was the ninth in a serie issued every four years by the Citizen Research Foundation.

requested off-campus housing, according to Johnston, 30-40 above the normal figure. "It got us out of what would have been a pretty uncomfortable housing situation," he said. The 1 00-or- o student who were relea ed to go off campus in the spring were immediately increa ed to about 1 7 5 , John ton ay . A few more requests were honored before the school year began to bring the number of students on campu within triking distance of the number of bed that cou ld be made available. Thi happy coincidence doe have a down side, however, J ohn ton ays. "Our numbers for off-campu housing have increased signi ficantly over the pa t two

years, and that's something we need to take a look at," he aid. "As the College moves toward the year 2000, we want to be able to re pond if there is a feeling we need to recapture the e folk [who are moving off the Hill]." 'What we're hearing is that tudent want a more apartment-like experience," Johnston said. Pre ident Bill Cotter alluded to the growing number of off-campus reque t in his tate of the College Addre and aid the Board of Trustees is studying re idence hall improvements and po ible changes in housing option . "We want to do all we can to make residential life attractive for all tudenrs," he aid. +

The Colby Echo, in a eptember 28 editorial, praised the build ing of the Pugh Center of the Student Union a "an important step for Colby" that "embodies our pledge to make the campus as d iverse and accepting a po ible." "The process involved in the decision to build the center i almost as important as the center it elf," the Echo aid. " tudents voiced their concern over a con equential issue, actions were taken to ee that they were heard and a olution was found because of the tudent ' per i tence and willingnes to work with the trustees to find what wa best for the College. To all involved in the proces , we applaud you and hope the Pugh Center marks the beginning of a new trend in thoughtful student action.'

Overseas Fees

Effective w ith the Clas of 1 999, students who wi h to transfer credit to Colby from an approved international or : dome t ic non-Colby program will pay a fee of $ 1 ,000 per · seme ter. The charge will apply for all non-Colby program . The propo al wa endor ed by the Financial Prioritie Com : mittee and the Academic Affair Committee before being · appro ed by the Board of Trustee last year. The fees will help : pay for a variety of upport service , including faculty ad i er , · departmental committee and the four-person Off-Campus · tudy Office that both advi e tudent and screen and ap : proves non-Colby programs. The mea ure drew sharp critici m from The Colby Echo and : prompted a letter to the editor from Dean of Faculty Bob McArthur explaining why the fee wa necessary. "The one · thou and dollar fee . . . will spread some portion of the co ts of : our foreign study program over tho e tudents on non-Colby program who currently do not pay anything to the College at : all. The approx imately two hundred thou and dollar in rev . enue will provide u with the opportunity to improve the · quali ty of Colby over ea experience for all tudent and will : to some extent, shift the burden away from tho e students on : campu who are currently footing the bill," McArthur a id . ·

Cereal Killer According to the Echo, breakfast at Dana has lo t its Charm . The day when tudents could choo e Lucky Charm and "all the ugar cereal Mom wouldn't buy you at home" are gone. Citing a need to cut wa te, manager of Lovejoy Dining Service Bill Bayle told the Echo that some cereal had to go. Students will have to get by on eight cereal selection . "We had o many out there that they went tale," Bayle said. "We kept adding and adding cereals and they were not as fre h. We got complaint , too." The Echo's tongue-in-cheek critici m of the move lamented that tudents can no longer ample "a new cereal every day for a month-from Cocoa Puff: to Cap'n Crunch to Raisin Bran. " There a r e fewer choice , the Echo said, a n d "usually none with mar hmallow .

Ro a Chang '97 and tudent A ociation President Tom Ryan '96 attended the 1 99 5 World Youth Leader Conference in Seoul, South Korea, lastsummer. The United Nation conference brought together leader in tudent government from countrie around the world. "lt was a great learning experience," Chang aid. "I learned more

from the people I met than anything 1 did. 1 had three roommate : one from Lebanon, one from Germany and one from Finland."

NOTH I N G NEW A n ecdotes from the Colby Arc h ives

Stars and Stripes Forever The Pledge of Allegiance, recited in choolrooms and at civic functions across the United States for more than 1 00 year , was the brainchild of a Colby alumnu . Concerned over what he perceived as a lack of patriotism, J ames Upham, Class of 1 8 3 5 and ed i tor of the premier children's magazine of the era, Youth 's Companion, set out to restore respect for the nation' flag. Upham recru i ted Francis Bellamy, also of the Companion , and together they began a campaign to �� have flags raised at every school m the country on ·�6'1t2111 October 1 2 , 1 89 2 , in honor of the 400th anniver sary of Columbus's land ing in the New World. � �i � Upham and Bellamy worked with school super intendents throughout America and raised the funds to purchase the flags, penn ies at a time , from schoolch ildren. As an accompan iment to the flag-rais ing event, Bellamy wrote the prototype of the verse since memorized by v irtu ally every child in A merica: I pledge allegiance to my flag, and to the republic for which it stands one nation, indivisiblewith liberty and j ustice for all.

t o budget time and juggle multiple responsibilities, skills developed during her first three years in college, she says. "When I'm busiest, l'm most efficient," she said. While other Colby eniors reported taking the additional re ponsibility of preparing for the G RE in tride, they all agreed that it adds to an already heavy workload. Eva Piotrowski '96 of Quincy, Mas ., is taking the exam in April because conventional wi dom says tudents perform best during or right after their under graduate studie . Scores are good for five years. In part because she's not planning to go directly to graduate school, Piotrowski said she wasn't too worried about the exam. "A lot of my friends are talking about going to grad school right after they graduate from here. They're the ones I've been talking in off of ledges all week," she said. Mark Mortensen '96, of Millwood, N.Y., planned to take the general GRE in October and the subject test for computer sc ience i n December. He wants to go d irectly into a Ph. D. program, which, unl ike ma ter's programs, requires the computer science G RE core. Whi le he agreed that taking the exam in the summer m ight rel ieve some

pressure during the academic year, he concluded that, whether it compete with a summer job or the academic workload, "I t's pretty inconvenient no matter when you do it." "Taking [the GRE] in the summer might be useful," Mortensen said, "because it would get an additional strain out of the way. If you're carrying a full course load and applying for graduate school or applying for jobs it can get pretty excessive." Registrar George Cole man , who administers the tests at Colby for the Educational Testing Serv ice, noted that athletes have an added variable when away games are scheduled on test dates. Players on visiting teams have been known to take the GRE in Lovejoy on a Saturday morning and then su it up to play against the White Mules the ame afternoon, he ays. Coleman says that, while the number of Colby tudents who take the GRE fluctuates from year to year, he hasn't noticed any long-term increase or decrease. As important as the GRE is, tudent are keeping it in perspective. "It is my senior year and I'd like to have fun," Spear said. "It's not l ike I'm in my room every Friday and Saturday night." +

The Steeple Chase For several years, Go-to-Church Sunday was an annual event held the first Sunday of the academic year. Proposed in 1 92 1 by President Arthur Roberts, the idea was to introduce Colby students to the clergy and to various places of worship in Waterville. The entire College assembled at IO a.m., with each de nomination in a separate group, and marched down College A venue. Students broke <lway from the procession as it passed their place of worship. The Echo reported in 1 922 that every Colby tudent par ticipated and the procession was more than half a mile long.

l can't remembersome of the weather reports from the past winter and spring for the re t of the coun try, but I can say that the Boston area eemed to pass over the usual nice pring. The winter was now less and the spring cold and rainy, so we jumped right into hot um mer temperatures. There wasn't anything very new in my adven ture , although I am still training my golden retriever, Renegadeuch a perfect name ince he doe urpri e me now and then. For example, in one class la t winter he turned uddenly toward an other dog and landed me on the side of my head, caring the intructor and others, but l came out of it with a small bruise on my cheekbone and a very ore jaw. We d id try our luck at one obedi ence how in April and did quite well for a first for us both . . . . Thanks to the people who an swered my per onal reque ts for new .

Why Is Diversity Important? Has the Need for Affirmative Action Ended? The Colby College Catalogue opens with two important statements about equal oppor tunity and d iversity: "The principle ofnot discriminating on the basis ofrace , color, sex, sexual orientation , religion, age ,

President William Cotter talks with Matt Russ '96, Cape Elizabeth, Maine. player and operates in accordance with federal and state laws regarding non-discrimmation . "Colby stands for diversity, without which we become parochial; for respect for various lifestyles and beliefs , without which we become mean spir ited; and for the protection of every individual against discrimination. In the classroom and out side , there is freedom co study, to think, w speak and to

learn in an environment that insists on the

free and open exchange of ideas and views . " Today, many won<ler whether it i po sible to continue to support diver ity and affirmative action on the one hand and at the same time provide true equal opportunity for all on the other. Some critics of affirmative action want it ended because they claim it i an experiment that ha failed, and others argue that it 1s no longer necessary because it ha

ucceeded. Fun

damentally, opponents argue that affirmative action, in a zero-sum analysis, has turned into reverse discrimination, and every gain for a minority person or a woman is a loss for a majority person or white male. I believe that, while there are instances of such zero-sum losses, the affirmative action

verse student body also greatly enhances the quality and realism of class di cuss1on. Ideally, Colby' student bo<ly (as well as its faculty, raff, trustee and over eer ) would be repre entarive of the nation as a whole. As we move toward that ideal we fulfill the mandate of the Trustees Plan for the '90�. which calls for us to "aspire to a Colby tudent popular ion that will reflect the contour· of the nation's college going population." A more diver e student body will not only further our goals of liberal education and en rich and enliven the e<lucar1onal environment for everyone but al o will erve the important national purpose of addres ing the inequalities and di crimination of the pa t by making it possible for all students, regardless of back ground, to have the opportuniry to fulfill their own potential by gaining admission to out standing colleges such as Colby. Colby's policies are widely replicated in the higher education communiry. For example, President Neil Rudenstine of Harvard recently ob erved that "diversity within the University community advances the academic purpo es of the University, and affirmative action policy is essential to achieving such diversity. The Uni ver iry endorses the goals of equal employment opportunity and affirmative action a support ive of University values and of the values of a democratic and plurali tic society." Education is clearly the most effective tool for achieving equal opportunity and for breaking

Progress to Date Our nation's commitment to equal treat ment is of relatively recent origin. Women had no vote in national elections unti l 75 years ago and, although the founding fathers used the euphemism "a person held to service," our Con stitution specifically authorized slavery. It took 1 00 years following the end of the Civil War, which officially ended slavery, to pass a Civil Rights Bill to ensure equal treatment for black and white citizens. Indeed, many will remem ber, as I do, traveling in the South where restaurants were open only to whites and where gas stations had bathrooms segregated not just by gender but by race. For the first 1 80 years after the Declaration of Independence, inequality was specifically sanc tioned by our legislation and by our courts. Clearly, while that Declaration affirmed that "all men are created equal," our national legal system has only recently begun to require equal treatment. Tho e who have read the Pulitzer Prize winning book No Ordinary Time, by Doris Keams Goodwin '64, will realize how recent is our determination to treat all citizens equally.

There is an even stronger incentive for you to continue giving, because if Colby alumni reach 45 percent participation in FY '96, the challenge fund will contribute a bonu of $50,000 to Colby's endowment. This challenge will be repeated throughout the remaining four years of The Campaign for Colby, with escalating bonuses for each new participation benchmark until we reach or ex ceed our goal of 50 percent participation. By achieving this goal, we will have secured a total of $ 5 00,000 in challenge contributions to Colby's endowment. Another Aspect of Participation: Changes in the Alumni Council. Although financial

It sounds like a very exc iting household in which they raised their own rwo chi ldren, Mark, a Ph.D. candidate at Geor gia Tech, and Catherine, who is at Kansas U . . . . Sarah Shute Hale is an arti ·t in Arden, Ont. , and her husband, Lome, i s an educator. Their fam ily includes children J . I-aac, 2 1 , and J u l ia, 1 7 , as well a� Bendemolina the cat.

Sarah recently \'is1ted with Susan Gerry Yambor m Friend hip, Maine, where usan i a social worker. Mail even arrived from Hong Kong, where Dick Heend is busi ness director for Dow Chemical. He and Mary have a married on, R ich, who is using his journalism degree frnm Missouri by working for Re·ort USA in the Poconos. Dick will stay on in the Pacific for another three to five years be cau e of all the growth and invest ment in the area, and then he plans to retire and play golf full time 1 (They're serious enough about it to have bought a place in Pelican Bay in Naple , Fla., and j oi n ed the aple a t i onal Country Club.) To celebrate his "Big 50," Dick and Mary pent a week in Lankawi l land, Malay sia. He in ites anyone coming :o Hong Kong to give him a call, and he can even make a round of golf part of the program, a long as you're generous and lose, like a past Deke vi itor who will oo namele . . If you watched "The Langoliers," a tephen Kmg mini- eries on CB , you might have noticed a familiarface. Joyce Demkowicz Henckler, her hus band, Don, and ons Adam and Aaron had role · a extras in a cene filmed at Bangor Interna t ional Airport ( in a cene in which tephen K ing makes a cameo appearance ).

ompo er Arthur Levering '76 can hone tly say that a performance of his chamber music once nearly bombed. Durino a 1 992 concert at t. Martin- in-the-Fields i n Lon don, an IRA bomb threat

prompted the audience to move to one side of the church as a preca u t ion aga i n t hanered rained g l a , Levering ay-. "There wa no actual mterrup tion a the announcement came in between performance ; we imply moved to the other ide of the church and nobody left," he aid. There is a similar unflappable quality about Le ve r i ng , e pec ially when he d iscu se h i mu 1cal beg inn i n g . Citing his mother, "an amateu r p ianist," a his only childhood classical influence, Leverino a id , "I had a typ i c al teenager' l i fe-typ i c a l i n that I d idn't have a great intere t in cla sical mu i c . I l iked the garage band s ty l e of rock 'n roll and was a great adm irer of J im i Hendrix. I attended a very mall prep chool with no music course in the curriculum. Fortunately, an interested teacher gave me a book on rud imentary music theory, which I worked through on my own." Lt::v ering cho e to pur ue mu ic fo rma l ly "dangerously late in l ife" while at Colby. "I had Professor Dorothy Reuman for a theory of mu ic class, which I enjoyed very much in my first year. After a course with Professor [of M u ic, Emeritu J Peter Re, who was very encouraging, I

dabbled in composition. l began to enjoy m u i c in an entirely different way. There was a whole new world of music to unlock. After these courses, I didn't ha,·e to rely on rlaying by ear," Levering ·aid. The -ucce sion of gu i ta r- owned by Levering paralleled h i s changing musical intere t . Trading i n his electric for a s te e l tring acoustic, Le,·erino hegan ro play what he characteri:ed as a "Leo Kottke style" of guitar music. In his j u n ior year at Colby and largely th rou gh h is friendship w ith G a i l Chase '74 ( who currently serY e in the /\ laine rate enate ) , Le,·ering unwi tti n g l y made a career defining dec i ion by w i tching to c lassical guitar. "G a i l had a cla ical gu itar that l i mp ly borrowed and began playing," he saiJ. hort l y after he graduated from Colby w i th a degree i n m u ic, Le\' e r i ng went to Yale U n i,·er i ty c hool of Mu i c , earn ing a ma ter' degree in 1 979. For the next five year·, he performed throughout the country w i th a lutenist as a member of the Orpharion D uo . Levering hifted to c ompos i ng in 19 5 becau e he reali:ed he wouldn't achieve a v i rtuoso level a · a performer because of h i s late start a· a mu i c ia n . " l n add i t ion, I wa growing d i satisfied with the repertoire of c las ical mu ic for guitar," he a id . "Even through transcription and performing, a g u i tari t doesn't get to participate to a great d egree in main tream c lassical music." Levering returned to chool to pursue a ma ter's degree i n m u ic compo ition ar B o ton U niversity, where he rudied under 19 4 Pul i tzer Pri:e winner Bernard Rands. ince earning h i degree i n 1 9 , Levering has compo e d chamber p iece that have been performed in London and Rome. In April the Cleveland Chamber ymphony will perform h i fir t orche tra piece, Time's Arrow, named after the book by Martin Ami .
