TRINITY REPORTER VOLUME 2 NUMBER 5

Pappas Death Stuns Campus Funeral services were held December 13 in the Trinity College Chapel for Mitchel N. Pappas, associate professor of fine arts, who died unexpectedly on December 10. Mr. Pappas, a member of the Trinity faculty since 1947, was'53.

Mr. Pappas, a :prize-winning, artist and former director of the College's Austin Arts Center, was well known throughout the College community and Greater Hartford.

The College has established a memorial scholarship in the arts, in his name.

Born and educated in Hartford, Mr. Pappas was a graduate of Yale University, where he earned both bachelor and master of fine arts degrees. He joined Trinity as a part-time inst-ructor in 1947, was appointed to a full-time position two years later, named assistant professor in 1953 and associate professor in 1959.

From September of 1969 until the summer of 1970, he was director of the Austin Arts Center and was responsible for coordinating a wide range of activities in the visual and performing arts including stage performances, concerts, gallery exhibits and lectures.

Mr. Pappas, who specialized in portraits and watercolors, had his works displayed in group exhibits in several major cities, including some successful one-man shows in Boston and Hartford.

Mitchel Nicholas Pappas, 1918-1971

DECEMBER, 1971

Intensive Study Program Adopted Trinity has added a program of intensive studies to its curriculum which will allow groups of students and faculty to work together exclusively for one semester.

The Intensive Study Program (ISP) will allow a faculty member to devote all of his teaching activity to his ISP group for the semester. The students, numbering about 12 in each group, will engage only in the ISP project, receiving up to four course credits fo-r the semester's work.

In a variation of the program, students may take three regularly-offered courses concurrently and participate for credit in a fourth course, which would be an integrating seminar arranged and taught by the instructors of the three .courses.

Participation by faculty and students is voluntary and courses will be worked out by faculty members on the basis of competence and interest. The ISP will be open to students after their Freshman year.

The Intensive Study Program broadens Trinity's "Special Study Programs," which depart from the traditional outline of required courses, and allow the student, working with the faculty, to tailor his own program of study. .

Approval of the ISP was voted by the faculty on December 16. In October, the faculty approved in principle an Alternate Degree-Program which would permit a student to earn a degree without following a definite sequence of courses, and over a period which could vary from three to five years. Under the ADP, a student will work on several projects and prepare for a series of examinations in order to qualify for the degree.

Normally, bachelor's degrees at Trinity are awarded on completion of 36 course credits and four years of study.

Allied with the Intensive Study and Alternate degree programs is the Open Semester, already part of the curriculum, which allows students to engage in some full-time independent study, either on the Trinity Campus or elsewhere, or to serve as an intern with a government agency or private organization for one semester.

According to Edwin P. Nye, dean of the facu-lty, the Open Semester is intended to be an "experience of total immersion" in a subject or project.

Students have already used the Open Semester for such projects as producing a film about Shakespeare, industrial research, study in the Philippines, teaching in Appalachia, projects in child development in the U.S. and abroad, and music study in New York and Paris.

Eleven of Trinity's 1500 students were engaged in Open Semester projects during the first term of the current academic year and about 38 will be participating during the term beginning January 19. Some 67 Open Semester projects were undertaken last year.

The first form of the ISP will follow the pattern of the Open Semester but with s.J me differences. While the Open Semester involves a single student in some form of independent study or work, the ISP will involve a faculty member and

several students in a single project.

The second form of the ISP is a modification of the normal course sequence, allowing students and faculty to work together intensively in a seminar on issues which arise in the individual courses.

The ISP was proposed last summer by a special planning committee which maintained that the "frequent desire of students and faculty to explore subjects in great depth is too often precluded by simultaneous involvement in several courses," and that "intellectual relationships between faculty and students are often too brief and .too artificial."

According to the faculty's Curriculum Committee, the two forms of the ISP which were approved are "desirable and (see ISP, page 2)

Smith to Head English Dept.

Dr. Paul Smith, professor of English, has. been appointed chairman of the department it was announced by President Lockwood. His appointment will become effective February 1, 1972.

Dr. Smith will succeed Dr. J. Bard McNulty, who completes a term as

chairman begurt in December 1966 under a policy of chairmanship rotation initiated by the Board of Turstees in 1967. Dr. McNulty will remain James J. Goodwin Professor of English.

A member of the Trinity faculty since 1959, Dr. Smith received his B.A. and M.A. from the University of Rochester and his Ph.D. from Harvard. He has taught in secondary schools, as a Teaching Fellow in History and . Literature at Harvard, the Telluride Association at Cornell, and the Trinity College/Rome Campus.

The author of articles on Melville, Shelley, and the English curriculum, Smith is co-editor (with Robert D. Foulke) of an anthology, "Anatomy of Literature," to be published this spring.

He has developed a curriculum in literature extending from Kindergarten to the 12th grade for the State Department of Education in Georgia and has been a curriculum consultant in several local schools. (see SMITH, page 4)

Letters To The Editor Future of Athletics ln a recent memorandum to the Athletic Advisory Committee, President Lockwood indicated that because of academic and financial constraint facing the College, a serious, careful and thorough review of the department and programs of athletics is to be undertaken.

It is hoped that a clear statement of guidelines will be evolved according to which the department would operate in · meeting present and future needs and demands regarding intercollegiate athletics.

Specific questions that will come under scrutiny are: the size of the coaching staff, the number of sports to be supported and the quality of teams to be fielded and met. The burgeoning interest of Trinity women in intercollegiate competition will be a factor in the deliberations.

As a member of the Athletic Advisory Committee representing the alumni, I am anxiously soliciting your reaction aqd opinion in this important undertaking.

All alternatives will be considered: (1) dropping all or portions of intercollegiate ahtletics, (2) deemphasis by means of reducing the coaching staff, (3) continuing upon our present course, ( 4) expanding the program by means of increased women's program and staff.

The Alumni voice in these matters will carry considerable weight, and I am most anxious that I correctly convey your sentiments. Therefore, I urge you to express yourself by letter immediately to me.

CAMPUS NOTES

AN UNUSUAL EXHIBITION OF ART, arranged by the Junior Seminar in Art History, was on view in the Widener Gallery of the Austin Arts Center during December. The exhibition included such diverse objects as a prehistoric Chinese bronze dragon, porcelain of the Russian czars' imperial regiments, pre-columbian sculpture, American furniture, a 'traveling museum' consisting of such small objects as a tiny, collapsible Calder mobile made to fit inside an envelope, and a number of . paintings by such artists as Tanguy, Matta, Max Ernst, Giacometti, Milton Avery and Arthur Davies.

According to Dr. Michel Mahoney, chairman of the fine arts department, working on the project gave the students the opportunity, on a smaJl scale, to be museum curators. ·He selected about 40 objects and assigned each student three or four without explaining how they were related. The students researched the objects, found a means to hang them together around a single theme and installed them . with e·xplanatory labels.

"They want to be free and govern themselves, but their acceptable standards are not those of the society .... When equality is denied people in spite of the professed ideals of this country, then the society is unstable and open to violence," he said. He urged that society must find a way · to open avenues of change to every man in all groups-no matter how small.

Trinity President Theodore D. Lockwood has called the Intensive Study and Alternate degree programs "attractive curricular alternatives which logically extend our present approaches and imaginatively anticipat~ future trends."

In other matters, the faculty approved revaluation of course credits allowed in science courses with laboratory in cases "wher~ the student work load clearly exceeds that in similar one-credit courses . without laboratory."

As approved, departments have the option of offering an additional one-fourth course credit for the laboratory work.

The proposal came from the biology department which, wanted to separate the laboratory and lecture work in some courses so that non-majors could take lecture courses without the necessity of lab involvement.

PAPPAS (from page 1) When Mr. Pappas opened his first one-man show in Hartford in 1954, a reviewer in a local newspaper commented that "First and foremost, he is a skilled craftsman and he rejoices in his skills all across this exhibition." The same reviewer praised Mr. Pappas for "a subtle and distinguished appreciation of color, a sure draughtsmanship, a fine linear sesnse and a continually poetic approach."

Classes were cancelled during the morning or'December 13 for the funeral service in the Chapel. Nearly 800 people attended, including alumni and friends froin the Hartford area. Earlier in the morning,· a funeral service had been held in St. George Greek Orthodox Church on Fairfield Avenue during which Hartford Mayor George Athanson delivered the eulogy. Burial was in Fairview Cemetery, West Hartford.

Mr. Pappas leaves his wife, Mrs. Belle Kereaces Pappas and a son Damon Pappas, both of West Hartford; a daughter. Miss Michelle Pappas of New York .City; his mother, Mrs. Stephanie Pappas of Miami, Fla.; his father, Nicholas Pappas of Athens, Greece and a brother, John Pappas of East Hartford.

Thomas A. Smith, vice president of the College, said, "Mitch Pappas is respected and beloved by many Trinity students, by alumni and by .his colleagues, and he will be sorely missed. Our sympathies go out to· his- family and friends at this time, along with the thought that both his teaching and his own work will have a lasting impact on the Fine Arts here and throughout New England. " Edwin P. Nye, dean of the faculty, said, "We are all in o state of profound

shock. Everybody regarded Mitch as a friend. He was the type of fellow who always epitomized appreciation and enjoyment of life. " Dr. Michael Campo, chairman of the Modern Languages department and a close friend, said Mr. Pappas' "selfless dedication to Trinity is legendary. He never refused to contribute when called upon... He spent countless hours beyond the call of duty. Whether it was one of a highly professional nature or one of a student's work, it always received the same tender and loving care. Mitch gave his students a sense of pride and worth in what they are doing. " ·- The director a/Hartford's Wadsworth Atheneum, James Elliot, said Mr. Pappas was an artist who "had the very desirable quality , of looking intelligently to tradition, and yet maintained a sensitive and open interest in the newest art forms."

Mrs. Florence Berkman, arts critic for The Hartford Times, said Mr. Pappas "was selfless in his devotion to the arts, not only as an artist and teacher, but he put in untold hours on community projects. In all the art projects that enriched the community, he was always right there: he never said 'no. 'His death means a great loss to us all. '' In an editorial December 12, The Hartford Courant commented . that Mr. Pappas' talents "brightenedboth his own community and many other horizons. " His activities in politics and sports, the editorial said, "made nonsense of any stereotyped image of an artist... Thus was his· mark elusive - as elusive as the majestic colors of Cape Cod and so many other places that he preserved on paper and canvas. Those, fortunately, will remain."

S~sannah

Heschel '7 3 Named FifS't Woffian Tripoa Editor H. Susannah Heschel, an electric young woman and a member of Trinity's Class of '73, has taken charge as editor of The Tripod, becoming the first woman editor in the student newspaper's history.

But if that distinction impresses her at all, it hardly shows: "I don't see what difference it makes if I'm a man or a woman,'' she says. "I'm going to deal with the issues at hand, and I just don't see what difference that makes."

Her "first" issue of The Tripod, published December 14, contained articles on Mitchel Pappas, the Intensive Study Program and probation proposals, an Inside Magazine with four articles on student life and an article - written by Paula Pavey '73, an exchange student from _.Wellesley - on the role of women on campus.

Miss Hesche! sees The Tripod as a forum for student opinion - a role she believes particularly important in the absence of a student government, which dissolved in 1970. But, she says, the newspaper shouldn't act in place of student government, nor should it refuse to support the faculty or administration on some issues.

Miss Hesche!, a junior majoring in religion, was elected on December 5.

Among the changes she says she will make are a return to twice-weekly

publication, increased participation by staff in policy decisions and stepped-up training for staff members.

The twice-weekly publication changed to once-a-week a few months ago - will be resumed with the start of Trinity Term. Miss Hesche! said the experimental weekly publication proved a "valuable experience" from which some techniques will be borrowed.

In addition, Miss Hesche! said she · would discontinue the "Outside News" column to permit increased coverage of important campus events, and that she will eliminate the position of Inside Magazine editor, a change which she says will result in a diversity of viewpoints, topics, and layouts in the magazine.

Miss Hesche! joined The Tripod staff two years ago, slie said, "at the 1nsistence of a dean." She was managing editor this year and has held the positions of news editor and assistant editor.

A native of New York City, she is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Abraham J. Heschel.

Also elected to serve as Tripod news executives this year are: Matthew E. Moloshok '74, managing editor; aiid Jeffrey Liebenson '75, news editor.

Kenneth Post '75 will fill the copy editor's position which ha& been vacant for a year.

Reelected to the editorial board were: Catherine L. Harris '74, arts editor; Alber.t Donskey '72, sports editor; Joel Strogoff '73, contributing · editor; and Almer J. Mandet '72, business manager.

William M. Orfitelli '74 and John F. Bahrenburg '72 will join the board as circulation manager and contributing editor, respectively.

Elected assistant editors were: Eugene Pogany '73, MikeS. Chearneyi '74, Emily G. Holcombe '74, Alex Trocker '74, Lloyd Wolf '74 and Douglas Rome '75.

Draft:

by Stephen Minot Adjunct Associate Professor of English

Mr. Minot is the author of a novel, a textbook and more than 20 short stories.

In 1966 he was an independent candidate for Congress and in 1970 he traveled with his w~fe in Europe and [:anada interviewing war resisters and deserters.

The volume they coauthored is entitled "The New American Refugees," and a chapter has already appeared in the fall issue of North American Review.

Congress has finally passed the much-debated military draft bill. This ended the three-month lapse in the law and seven months of Congressional debate, but it hasn't ended the growing uncertainty on the part of young and old alike about two crucial issues: is a military draft really justified? And if not, just how should a young man respond to it?

Those who still support the draft argue that this country simply cannot build and maintain an offensive force with volunteers even with the recently authorized pay increases. Further, they argue that such an army would consist almost entirely of the poor with a very high percentage of Black enlistees. This, they hold, would be undemocratic.

Those who oppose the draft point to the fact that this country never has had a peacetime offensive force until after the Second World War. They recall (some of them from history books) that when this country was attacked by Japan in December 1941, President Roosevelt did not - even under those circumstances initiate a war by an executive order. He turned to Congress.

By doing this he reaffirmed Gust as President Wilson had before him) the article of the Constitution which states that only Congress shall have the power to declare war. What many people forget, however,-is that like every U.S. president before him, he had to rely on Congress: he did not have at his disposal enough troops to initiate or sustain a war. In this way, one of our time-honored checks and balances among the three branches of government was enforced by simple economics . .

As for the argument that a volunteer a~,:my would be dominated by the poor and the disadvantaged, draft opponents point to the fact that this is true of the lower ranks in the ·military now. Contrary to what we would like to believe, the military draft does not select at random.

To apply for alternate service as a conscientious objector, for example,. requires a highly sophisticated written statement of personal philosophical and religious beliefs, a series of recommendations from resp€?cted members of the community (doctors, Congressmen, lawyers and clergymen are generally preferred), and usually a personal appearance before a normally all-white, all-male draft board at which probing questions concerning one's beliefs may be asked. This is not an easy route for the inarticulate or the uneducated. Significantly, it has not been the route of America's poor, Black or White. It is a middle class option.

The same selectivity applies to medical deferments under the heading ofi-Y and the more famous {but less used) IV-F. Those who appear at the army physical with documented evidence of ailments-physical or psychological-are fare more likely to be deferred. Those who have never had regular medical attention (and statistically are probably in

Still A Problem For Students worse shape) are the ones most likely to be declared fit by the rout.ine physical inspection. The effect is dramatic: in 1967 only one-sixth of Black Americans were found unfit for military service while one-third of the Whites were.

Such statistics-more widely known among young people than to their parents-have added to the deep sense of cynicism about the lottery and. to the very principle and purpose of the military draft.

Deeper and more troubling than the public debate about the draft is the personal decision which each young man now faces: How should he act?

Those of us who reached 18 during World War II did not have an easy time of it, but we never faced this kind of moral dilemma. Our country itself had been attacked and many of us, like myself, enlisted at 11. A "draft-dodger" . was by definition a coward. As simple as that.

Today's young men are being asked to risk their lives not for their country's defense but for a highly controversial presidential policy. The boy who accepts military service in good faith must live with 'the fact that a majority of Americans feel that the war was an error and many prominent- members of Congress feel that, worse than an error, it was unconstitutional and immoral. And every day in the paper he will see mounting evidence tnat the regime he has been asked to defend in the name of Democracy is in fact just another petty dictatorship.

What are young men doing about the situation? One constructive act is establishing groups of trained counselors so that they c:an help each other work out the complex philosophical and moral questions they face as well as to define exactly what options they have. At Trinity College, for example, some twenty-five students-both men and women-have entered a rigorous, non-credit training program which in four weeks will cover everything from how to apply as a conscientious objector to the rights of aliens and the requirements for Canadian citizenship. Contrary to the view of many, these young men are not working simply to keep others out of the military; they provide factual information which almost all high schools have until now withheld from their students, and they offer to each individual a chance to work out in his own way his individual solution in accordance with his conscience. If invited, they could bring this counseling to high schools this winter. They feel strongly that in a free society, every man must know the facts before he makes the basic decisions of his life.

Young men who have turned nineteen this year must live with the lottery number assigned in August. Those with low numbers are being asked to appear for their physicals even if they are at · college. When tw.enty, they face induction. Many of this year's freshmen will not be able · to complete their sophomore year. If they object !o the military on grounds of conscience or have soJ,Ile medical history to document, they have very little time to act. Those who get counseling are the lucky ones.

The reenactment of the draft has thrust young men into an increasingly bewildering set of moral dilemmas and forced them to act quickly. What they' face has no easy parallel in American history. What they need for us, the non-draftable, is not slogans or simplistic advice but open access to the facts, patience while they work out their sense of values and support in their final decision.

BOOKS

THE COURT-MARTIAL OF LT. CALLEY Richard Hammer (MA '51) Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, Inc. 398poges Reviewed by R. Malcolm Salter former directoTo[theNews Bureau It seems only natural. that author-journalist Richard Hammer, who wrote '"One Morning in the War," a shocking and vivid detailed account of the tragedy at My Lai, would cover the much publicized court-martial of Lt. William Calley and write a book about what he saw, heard and felt.

But that is the only thing that seems natural about "The Court-Martial of Lt. Calley."

There in a little courtroom at Ft. Benning, Ga. is the unreal and unbelievable scene of an American A,rmy Officer on trial fof atrocities with soldiers and former soldiers all testifying to parts of what becomes a gruesome picture of a massacre of unarmed men, women, children and babies.

A gripping, engrossing book, one might say, if it were fiction. Well done, you might add. But it isn't fiction. It's a real court-martial and it is shocking, sickening and shameful. The American public has lived with the anguish and torment of My Lai since it first came to light in 1969 and most particularly during the long court-martial of Lt. Calley, (the longest court-martial in U.S. military history with the proceedings lasting over four months.)

It was a long and exhausting trial with 104 witnesses, including two called by the six-man jury one of whom was Captain Ernest Medina, Calley's commanding officer who was on the stand for six hours in one day . The accused, Lt. Calley was on the stand for three days totaling some nine hours.

Arid the author puts you right back in that courtroom to hear the major portions of the testimony all over again.

He doesn't place you in the jury box or back in the few seats allotted to the public each day but he plunks you down next to him in press row (he was filing for the New York Times "Week in Review," of which he is an editor.)

Seeing the trial from next to Richard Hammer you get more than just the testimony. You get -. some interesting background and selected f-acts on each of the participants from judge and jury, the defenses attorneys, the government prosecutors and each of the witnesses.

The author spares you much of the testimony which is repetitious and briefly excerpts and interprets some legal hassles, and there are many, but he spares little of the gruesome detail and even if you want to shrink from the horror, he keeps you in that courtroom until that day's end.

At times he burdens you further with his observations and comparisons of what he sees as a dedicated hero in Capt.

Aubrey Daniel, III the chief prosecutor, and a defense which he sees as "inept, confused, directionless and totally ill-prepared." But you accept the author's license to describe it the way he saw it and you are grateful for the opportunity to view the case up close and to eavesdrop on conversations in restaurants and cocktail lounges with many of the principle figures at the trial, including the accused. You hear the testimony and view the court-martial, perhaps the most controversial in this nation's history, in Hammer's detailed account in a '\:ay that the flow of news stories over four months just can't provide.

Burfeind Heads News Bureau Alfred C. Burfeind '64 has been appointed Director of the Trinity College News Bureau, replacing Paul J. Gallagher who resigned in October.

Burfeind, who began his new duties December 6, comes to Trinity from The Hartford Times, where he was assistant city editor.

His news experience includes nearly five years full-time work with The Hartford Times, as well as extensive part-time work with The Times and The Plainfield (N.J.) Courier-News. In 1963, while at Trinity, he was editor-in-chief of The Tripod.

A native of Plainfield, N.J., Burfeind was graduated from Trinity with majors in English and Religion. In 1967 he received a bachelor of divinity degree from Hartford Seminary Foundation, where he was awarded the William Thompson Fellowship and a prize in history.

He is currently on the Vestry of St. James Episcopal Church, Zion Street, Hartford, and a member of the Department of Communication and Interpretation of the Connecticut ColJncil of Churches. _ Burfeind and his wife Lynne have two sons: Paul, 4, and Matthew, 16 months.

They live at 105 Thomaston Street, Hartford. parts. Hammer devot~s the first four parts to the court-martial itself: The fifth part includes the nation's reaction to the verdict, including President Nixon's personal intervention into the controversial case and the text of a letter from a stunned trial council (Capt.

Daniel) to his Commander-in-Chief.

My .Lai and the court-martial has a nation wrestling with its conscience ... and we don't like it. Hammer writes, "My Lai ended our blindness and ended our innocence ... we had to recognize that we were no better off than a!lyone else, and in some ways, because of our arrogance and our technology, we might even be a little worse than most."

If you are one of the thousands that voiced an outrage when Lt. Calley was convicted which prompted President Nixon to act, or one who was stunned when _he did , Hammer's "The Court Martial of Lt. Calley," will bring back the adrenalin again but you may find it flowing in a new direction.

HARTFORD DEMOCRATIC STATE REP. Howard M. Klebanoff, who is teaching a course at Trinity College in Urban Politics, believes in employing fellow politicians to prove his point. Here he is shown in one of the classes flanked on the left by Dr. Michael Zazzaro, Hartford Democratic town chairman and on the right by Councilman Nicholas Carbone, the Democratic majority leader.

Three Groups Will Report To President on Athletics The Department of Athletics and Physical Education, the Athletic Advisory Committee and the College Board of Fellows are preparing preliminary reports on the future of athletics at Trinity which will be handed to President Theodore D. Lockwood by mid-February.

The reports, requested by the President, are expected to lead to a statement of policy and guidelines for the department.

President Lockwood, in a memorandum issued last November, called for a "serious, careful and thorough review" of the department by the three groups, with special consideration given to: • The future of intercollegiate athletics at Trinity.

• Meeting the needs of students, alumni and faculty in the programs offered by the department during a decade of "ac·ademic and financial constraints."

• Expressing the relationship of athletic programs "to the other educational obligations of the College."

In his charge to the groups, Dr. Lockwood cited the " popularity and success" of athletic and physical education programs at Trinity, but stated that "it has become increasingly difficult for the smaller institutions like Trinity, dedicated to amateur participation, to field teams in all the sports in which there

may be student interest."

He said that among the factors which should influence the deliberations are the · "competing needs" within the sports program and the College as a whole, the "changes which have occurred' with respect to physical education programs," the limitation on faculty size- now frozen at a maximum strength of 130-which has "reduced the ease with which Trinity may respond to academic and athletic desires," and the presence of women on campus, which poses "its own set of questions with respect to the diversity of programs and the composition of the staff."

The review is especially pertinent, Dr. Lockwood said, at a time when "other faculty committees are obliged to consider the allocation of faculty strength and the · deployment of what are regrettably limited funds." The review is expected to produce guidelines which will "go far to anticipate the demands which may be placed upon the department now and in the future ."

Among the expectations are that a "philosophy of athletics" can be developed for Trinity as well as recommendations concerning competitive and noncompetitive programs, staffing and financing.

Dr. Lockwood has asked that initial recommendations be presented before February 15 .

The following item appeared in a recent issue of the.Oak Hill School for the Blind News: "HAIL, GEORGE CAPEN!" "All friends of Oak Hill School will want to join in a sincere expression of appreciation to George C. Capen who recently retired from active participation in affairs of The Connecticut Institute for the Blind.

"In 1954 Mr. Capen became a corporator of the Institute and chairman of the Greater Hartford fund-drive committee. He was elected to the board of directors in 1961, joined the executive committee in 1962, and in 1965 was elected vice-president of the Institute and appointeil chairman of the General Gifts committee. He has served continuously in these capacities until this year.

During the Homecoming and Alumni Reunion Weekend, the following members of 1918, with their ladies, attended the Immortals dinner at the Hartford Golf Club on the evening of Friday, November 12: HENRY BEERS, ED CARLSON, RUSS HATHEWAY, LIPPY PHISTER, SYD PINNEY, WOOLSEY POLLOCK and MEL TITLE. They enjoyed the informative talk given by Dean Nye, who stressed the point that "the more things change, 路 the more they remain the same."

MEL SHULTHIESS, in spite of an acute attack of sciatica, came up from Newtown to witness Trinity's great victory over Wesleyan oh Jessee Field. Mel is an ardent Trinity rooter and, as has been his yearly custom, has attended all of this year's football games within driving range.

CHARLIE "SI" SIMONSON had to bow out at the last minute due to illness, which we trust was of short duration. We missed his trained voice during the singing of 'Neath the Elms at the Immortals dinner. JIM ENGLISH '16, has a fine voice for preaching.

YOUR SECRETARY missed the reunion by just a week, as he found it necessary to return to his Sea Island winter home on November 6.

Lippy Phister keeps up his active membership in the Union Boat Club of Boston by rowing a single shell for three miles, or more, on the Charles River so often that he has covered 117 miles this year. Still true to bachelordom!

You already know that we have lost our salutatorian HAROLD SMITH. Harold followed our valedictorian, HARRY CLARK by about four and one-half months. Harold was a highly successful lawyer in New York City for years and his brilliant career was recognized by the College ~hen it honored him with an LLD in 1958.

Well, my son-in-law went and "done" it. I told him not to run for mayor on the Republican ticket in Hartford in November where the Democrats outnumber the Republicans by about 5 to 1. Anyway TED Dl LORENZO '50 thought otherwise and took on the Democratic stronghold losing by 2 to 1路 which, however, isn't as bad as 5 to 1.

CHAUNCEY JEPSON has left our beautiful Connecticut after all these years to spend his advancing years at 9 Purcer Place, Yonkers, New York 10705. Incidentally he looks younger and stronger than most of the rest of the old "fuddy-duddies" in our diminishing class.

We are sorry about the recent (August 4, 1971) passing of GEORGE OLCOTT, who maintained the same lively life that he showed while a student at College. He was most loyal, a good friend, a fine husband and father. He loved the reunions and always attended them.

He will be missed by all of us. The Class extends its sympathy to his family .

IT's been great seeing the JACK AINLEYS and DAVID HAD LOW in regular attendance at Trinity's football games; even the away ones.

YOUR SECRETARY, and wife Olga, have been to each one and attended the Wesleyan game with Betty and DICK NOBLE. Dick has almost fully recovered from his illness.

KENNY SMITH, our famous director of the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y., made his annual pilgrimage to the Wes game.

He, as usual, was a house guest of the DICK O'BRIENS '26, who live in our rival's backyard.

We are glad to know that our youngest, and most recent cLassmate, CLIFTON BOCKSTOCE, Honorary 1970, has now fully

recovered from surgery - your secretary met him at the University Club, Hartford, while attending the Friends of Trinity Rowing annual dinner, which was hosted by Bishop Gray. Clif looked fine, and was his old wholesome and amiable self.

GEORGE MALCOLM-SMITH is still putting out at the old stand in Constitution Plaza.

You fellows, especially those that we haven't heard from in a long time, would be nice if you would send in notes on your recent doings.

Mr. N. Ross Parke 18 Van Buren Ave. West Hartford, Conn. 06107

We're all happy for dear Helen and MERRILL SHERMAN who, this past summer, had two weddings - as their daughter Pattie and son, Jim enjoyed wedded bliss respectively .

Merrill and Helen are looking forward to their new life with their son, Bob, at 7 West Pond, Clinton, Conn. 06413 - in case any of you would like to write them a word.

So happy NORM and Jean PITCHER could take the grand trip they did, having a fine visit with the MacBURNEYS, their daughter and then on to the PRYORS and then home. This is again a time and place to publically express our thanks for a wonderful 45th Reunion to Our Lord, the College and John Hyel - and especially to KEN and Helen STUER for a wonderful and inspirational job - as likewise, we thank the rest of our Reunion Committee, NORM PITCHER (and Jean), DICK and Peg FORD, HAROLD and Miriam MESSER for an excellent job they did in that always difficult are finances, and last but not least, that wonderful and inspirational given a man by his helpful wife - in this case, my precious Vivian.

That old cliche comes in very meaningfully here, as we say in effect how we wish you could have been with us to make our "45th" an even greater joy and success that we are grateful it was. Perhaps this word may help to persuade those of you who could not make it this time, to start saving your pennies (as good ole FRANK PRYOR said he was going to do) to get to our 50th in 1976.

Dear Classmates, you may be sure those of us fortunate enough to be present at our Excellent "45th" sincerely wish you all could have been with us. Our Friday Class Dinner was a delight to all and we so thank President LOCKWOOD and JOHN HEYL for honoring us with their presence and Dr. Lockwood for his encouraging and inspirational words. His Saturday evening President's Banquet at the Hotel Sonesta was a memorable and inspiiational evening for all privileged to be there.

Great thanks goes to your hard-working Reunion Committee with special thanks to Ken Stuer for his great inspirational work and leadership and to all who showed up, thus to earn for Our Good Class of 2T6- two Awards - the "Class with the Best Class Spirit" and the "Class with the Largest Attendance."

Gratefully The Exhibition was agreeably received.

So please, everyone, begin to lay aside a little for Our 50th Reunion that we may keep up the good work!

It's unfortunate you all couldn't join us few to enjoy the hospitality of the College at our 45th reunion on November 13 and a thrilling 21 - ZIP football victory over Wesleyan. A room was reserved for us in the Life Sciences Building for refreshments prior to luncheon and the game as well as afterwards.

At the class meeting there were no dissenting votes relative to the continuance of Chairman F 0 RRESTER and your SECRETARY -TREASURER in office. It was voted that the annual class dues of $5 be continued in order to increase our contribution to The Class of 1921 Library Fund.

Our group enjoyed a splendid dinner at the Hotel Sonesta and what with dancing afterwards it was a most satisfying day.

STAN and VIRGINIA BELL received the longest distance award coming from Rochester, N.Y. followed by JIM and MILDRED CAHILL from Ramsey, N.J. and the Reverend Doctor路 Condits from Hollis, N.Y. The Roger Hartts joined us from Fairfield and of course your chairman and secretary-treasurer were present with their ladies. The RON CONDONS and CHILI JACKSON of 1928 also helped to make up a small but congenial happy group .

Thanks to our alumni secretary, John Heyl, for arranging for our two class letters last fall.

As a result we heard from several long time no see classmates expressing regrets among whom were: General JIM AMMERMAN, El Paso, Texas; DANA VARNEY, Santa Monica, California; ED HICKEY, Naples, Florida; HARRY GREEN, Sarasota, Florida; LEE MCELRATH who has a grandson in the class of 1972; DICK McCURDY; DR. JOE BASHOUR ; FRANK CONOVER; MIM BLOODGOOD and HOWIE MANIERRE. Let us hope that circumstances will some day allow us all to get together!

On November 1, LYMAN BRAINERD became chairman of the board of directors of the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company. Lyman has served since 194 7 as president of the Company, which is the nation's oldest and largest boiler and machinery insurance company. Lyman's career is an illustration of the truth that when you want to get something done, ask a busy man to do it.

Trinity has no more loyal or hard working alumnus than Lyman, who until this fall served as chairman of the College's Board of Trustees.

His Church has also received fine leadership from him.

BRUCE SCHNEIDER writes he married Frances M. George last April 24 at St. John's Church, Warehouse Point, Conn. Our very best wishes to the bride and groom.

Watching Trin beat Wes 21-0 November 13 were JOHN GODDARD, ARDEN SHAW, BILL JACKSON , GUS UHLIG; ANDY ONDERDONK and your secretary. Who else from '34?

Gus Uhlig in the past three years has become an expert glider and an authority on thermal drafts. For many years, a holder of a pilot's license, Gus finds his latest pastime much more relaxing.

The 30th reunion of our class, like all preceding reunions, was an outstanding success.

As our genial chairman, RAY THOMSEN might have remarked (and, come to think of it, did remark) "You've got to belie•lt; me, we're having fun like it was going out of .style." To support the chaiilnan in this laudable activity, there were on hand, at one time or another

during the week-end, DICK BLAISDELL, MOE BORSTEIN, LOU BUCK, PETE .CALLAGHAN, JOHN CARPENTER, JOE CLAPIS, ED CONWAY, DON DAY, HAROLD HEAP, ALDEN JOHNSON, HENRY KAPLAN, ·F RANK KELLY, TED KNUREK, JOE LAVIERI, IRWIN MANCALL, DICK MOODY, DICK NOLF, BILL OLIVER, CULLEY ROBERTS, ED SMITH and JIM SPENCER. Most were accompanied by their wives. It would be invidious to single out individual members of the Ladies' Auxiliary since in the opinion of clear-headed observers (who were, to be sure, in short supply as the evenings wore -on) the class members had universally married above their stations. But behind every great man is a great woman, and special mention might be made of Joan Thomsen who was acting treasurer of our little conclave. And Ronnie Mancall lent an undergraduate note to the gathering, since she was bridged to the generation gap by returning to academic life as a member of the Class of 1973, majoring in English. I am proud to say that as the standard bearer of the '41 set, she is garnering all A's.

As conviviality reached its height on Saturday evening, I was directed to take certain notes. They are obscured by some stains which chemical analysis has shown to have a high alcoholic content. But they reveal that all present allowed the reunion was such a success that is should be repeated three times a year: in spring at the Nolf's house in Westbrook, Conn., in summer at the Mancall's cottage at Brewster, Cape Cod, and in the fall chez Carpenter, in Burlington, Vermont. While the enthusiasm of the gentlemen in question is beyond all praise, Connecticut law compels me to point out that in our State impulsive offers can be disavowed within a reasonable period of time. If they don't choose to take the easy way out, they can make their own arrangements with the National Guards of the respective States.

Our hopes for having an antique auto at the reunion were dashed when the Pierce Arrow' which Ed and Helen Smith were piloting broke down just before they reached Broad Street. I hope that they recovered under their warranty.

The prize for coming the longest distance would go to Dick Moody, who flew in from Detroit to grace the gathering with his characteristic blend of suavity and good fellowship. The previous continuous holder of that prize, Bill Oliver, has transferred from Buenos Aires to Weston, Mass. He misses his Latin American friends and is not completely happy with contemporary trends in the U.S.A. But he had the happiriess of escorting his late father to the 60th reunion of the class of 1910.

Those classmates who dill not attend would be surprised at how often they were fondly mentioned. This was Harold Heap's .first return to a reunion, but I am sure he will be back again. Hal, incidentally, sent his check for the reunion contribution to "The Frank Kelly Fund." I was quite pleased, since this is a cause which has always been close to my heart. In accordance with Hal's humanitarian intentions, the money was devoted to the alleviation of human thirst.

BOB ADAMS was not able to attend but wrote me a letter in which he asked to be remembered to all his classmates. Bob has retired from the Coast Guard after 28 years and is now associated as a Project Engineer with George A. Sharp, Inc. Marine Design in New York City. He has three children: Kent, aged 25, married and a chemist in Akron, Ohio; Beth, aged 20, in her second year at Russell Sage, majoring in nursing; and Jean, aged 17, in High School. Bob lives in Westfield, New Jersey.

ROBERT TOLAND, JR., vice president for development at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia has been elected chairman of the development council of Natural Science Museums. The Council, which represents the top natural science museums in the nation, was recently established to strengthen the member institutions and their individual programs in basic research and information about our Spaceship Earth. Bob, who originated the idea of the Council, said that it is incredible to think of the wide range of relevant programs which involve member institutions, such as: many inner city programs; consulting work with business and government; basic research in bio-chemistry, medicine, and natural science; and education programs from pre-kindergarten through post doctoral. Bob lives at 13 3 3 Wisteria Drive, Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355.

Our delay in going to press did give me a chance to see some of you at Homecoming, and I am sure I missed many others. Although a rather chilly afternoon, our little Trin hearts were warmed by the 21-0 victory over Wesleyan. Leading one section of spirited (note the intentional double entendre) was JIM STUDLEY backed by PHIL SIMMONS, GEORGE BOGERT and their wives. George and Jim are still senring in the Air Force while civilian Phil now resides in Fairfield, Connecticut. DEAN UPHOFF was another cheering fan, and also, as it turns out, a neighbor of mine in West Hartford. Dean returned to the Hartfo¢ area two years ago to join the staff at Hartford Hospital as a pathologist. I also had the pleasure of chatting with JIM HAWE who continues to enjoy teaching mathematics at the Englewood School for Boys, in New Jersey. In these rapidly · changing times it really came as no surprise to hear that Jim had recently recommended two students to Trinity - both girls!

Winter Squads Open With Mixed ·Results As the Trinity calendar moves rapidly toward Christmas and exam break, several of the Bantam winter sports teams have commenced combat with varying degrees of success.

The varsity basketball team has had its troubles defeating Hamilton 96-76 but losing two close decisions to Alfred 7_2-71 and Tufts 108-1 00 in overtime.

Perhaps the biggest surprise thus far has been the quick start registered by the hockey club which defeated U.Conn. 5-3 with junior co-captain and goalie Carl Norris turning away 43 shots and shutout M.I.T. 3-0 with freshman goalie Rudy Monteglas in the nets.

Coach John Dunham, who captained the Brown University hockey team i)1 1964, is highly optimistic of improving on last year's 6-10 record. Dunham, incidentally, when he is not coaching the Bantams , is an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Connecticut as well as a goalie for the New Haven Flyers of the Southern New England Hockey League.

Another Bantam coach exuding optimism is Roy Dath who thinks that this year's squash team is potentially one of his best. The racquetmen bombed M.I.T. 8-1 in their opening match but were overwhelmed by a fine Naval Academy team 9-0. Except for the Navy . match, Dath thinks that his squad can win or make it tough on its opponents for the rest of the season.

Speaking of the military, the fencing team this year is coached by _Colonel H. Thomas Jarrett, who is an officer in the Army Corp of Engineers as well as a 1944 Trinity graduate. The squad suffered an opening match loss to Brooklyn College 16-11 but with only two seniors on the squad, the team will have to rely on itsown youth movement te carry through the season.

Fall Co-Captains A warded T rophie_s - Co-captains Bayard Fiechter (soccer) and Tom Schaible (football) were the 1971 recipients of Most Valuable Player Awards for their respective teams.

It was the second consecutive year that Fiechter had been awarded the trophy-the first Trin soccer player to be so honored. This fall, Fiechter, along with co-captain Steve Hill led the varsity team to a 5-5 record showing tremendous improvement over _last -year's winless season.

Tom Schaible received the 1935 Trophy which is annually awarded to the most valuable player on -the varsity football team, Schaible was a standout offensive lineman for the Bantams and started every game in the three years he was on the varsity. Schaible also received the coaches' Laser Award for his outstanding performance at offensive guard this fall.

Junior Bob Ghazey of Linden, New Jersey a two-year starter on the Bantam offensive line, received the Dan Jessee Blocking Award and junior linebacker Phil P_oirier of Troy, New Hampshire won the coaches' Obfuscator Award which is given to the team's outstanding defensive player.

Soccer Coach Roy Dath awarded Richard Marshall, a junior from Shaker Heights, Ohio, the Most Improved Player Trophy.

-

Newcomers Pace Basketball Team The v_arsity basketball team opened its 1971-72 season by taking third place in the Trinity-Hartford Invitational Tournament held on December 34 at the University of Hartford.

In a typical opening game night punctuated with many errors, the Bantams fell to Alfred University by a 72-71 score. Neither team was able to generate much offense as the score showed the Bantams ahead 11-9 after the first ten minutes of the game. The score was tied at 33-33 at intermission with both teams' shooting percentage hovering armmd 20 -percent. Both squads warmed up in the second half but Trinity fell one point short of forcing the game into overtime period as junior forward Mike McGuirk brought his game total to 18 points with a layup at the buzzer.

If there was a bright note in an ot!lerwise disappointing performance, it was -the play of two newcomers to the varsity- squad. Sophomore center Bill . Fenkel, who started for the Bantam yearlings last winter, tallied 16 points and grabbed 17 rebounds in his first varsity game. Junior Keith Klevan, a transfer student from Bradley, also opened his varsity career in fine style by leading 'the squad with 22 points.

- The next night, Trinity played Hamilton College which had fallen to a powerful University of Hartford combine (Hartford crushed Hamilton (102-85) and Alfred (97-67) to win the tournament) the night before. The Bantams raced to a 49-39 half-time lead as Bill Fenkel continued his spectacular play. He finished the night with 26 points and 14 rebounds and was one of five players named to the All-Tournament Team.

Early in the second half, · Trinity outscored Hamilton 154 and then coasted to a 96-76 victory.

A streak of poor shooting struck the team a few days later when it dropped a 108= I 00 o\rertime decision to Tufts at Medford. Down 4942 midway in the game, the Bantams fought to a four point lead only ·to see it dwindle away as the

JUNIOR FORWARD_Keith Klevan goes up for a shot against Alfred University in the opening round of the Trinity-University of Hartford Invitational. Klevan tallied 22 points in the 72-71 loss f.Qllowed by junior Mike McGl)irk (no. 32) with 18 points-and sophomore Bill Fenkel (no. 31) with 16.

Jumbos knotted the score at 93-93 at the end of regulation time. Tufts took complete control of the five minute overtime period and outscored the visitors 15-7 to win the game and leave both teams' records at 1-2.

The two major problems which h'llVe hampered the team in the early going have been lack of experience and height.

Senior captain AI Floyd ( 5-I 0) and senior forward Sam Merrill ( 6-1) are the only starters who rank as - veterans with McGuirk (6-2), Fenkel (6-3), and Klevan (6-0) starting their lineup averaging only 6-1 in what can be called the "age of the giants" in basketball, Trinity will have to face opponents whose starting lineup will average or surpass the height of the Bantam's tallest squad member.

The hoopme·n closed out their pre-Christmas schedule by dropping decisions to Stonehill College (1 0 1-88) and Atlantic Christi~n College of North Carolina (108-73) in the Winged Foot Tournament at the New York Athletic Club.

New Winter Teams Face First Season This winter marks the appearance of two new sports. A women's intercollegiate squash team will be coached by Miss Jane Millspaugh, a 1970 graduate of Springfield College and the coach of last fall's women's field ho9key team which produced a 4-1-2 record.

Although the team is still . ip the process of scheduling matches, a definite highlight to the season will be the National Women's Intercollegiate Squash Champi<:mshjps which will be held at Trinity on February 25-26 : Richard Taylor, who was an assistant varsity football coach this fall, will coach a newly formed Trinity wrestling team.

Taylor has previously coached wrestling at Toms River (N.J.) High School and the St. George's School in Newport, Rhode Island. The grapplers have three matches · so far against squads from Amherst, UConn., and Yale.
