TRINITY COLLEGE, HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT

MARCH 1971

Higher Education Hit By Financial Crisis There has been ample evidence that thef nation 's colleges and universities are in serious financial trouble .

The Carnegie Commission on Higher Education released a study in December which concluded two out of three of the. nation's colleges and universities were in "financial trouble" or "heading in to trouble."

Based on a lengthy investigation of 41 institutions, the Carnegie Commission estimated 1,540 of the nation's 2,340 institutions of higher education were "in financial trouble," or on the brink.

NEEDED INCOME

Annual Giving At 77% of Goal As of February 12, pledges to the 1970-71 Annual Giving Campaign had reached $268,708 or 77% of the goal of $350,000. The amount of the goal represents anticipated income needed to balance the current operating budget.

Reports in the five segments of the drive all indicated encouraging results to date: • Alumni Fund - $165,010 83% of the $200,000 goal (at a comparable date last year, the amount pledged was $122,835).

• Parents Fund - $52,153 70% of the $75,000 goal (at the same time last year, $36,238 had been pledged).

• Business & Industry ) $41,329 - 83% of the $50,000 goal. · · · o Friends of Trinity - $7,183 48% of the $15,000 goal.

• Foundations - $3,033 - 30% of the $10,000 goat

Trin Seen Turning Corner

By Cost Cuts, Aid Appeals Even more startling is the Commission's estimate that the hardest hit financially are private colleges and that 71 % of the nation's liberal arts colleges are now "in trouble" (running deficits or cutting important programs} or soon will be.

There has been a deluge of reports since confirming Carnegie Commission Chairman Dr. Clark Kerr's conclusion

that "higher education is facing the greatest financial crisis it has ever had."

A recent sampling: • Sixteen teachers at Hiram Scott College (Neb.) have been fired in an economy move and intercollegiate athletics dropped.

• Pershing College in Beatrice, Neb. closed its doors in January and gave its 385 students two days notice to leave the

•

1969-70 Ended 1n Red; Current Year in Balance Trinity finished the past fiscal year with an operating deficit of $3 20,4 73 .

In his annual report, College Treasurer J. Kenneth Robertson explains that he had to pay bills totaling $6 ,949,215 with cash income of $6,628,742, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1970.

However, the college is predicting it "has turned the corner" on economic adversity and will end the current fiscal year without a deficit.

In his report, the Treasurer says many of his colleagues at other institutions speak openly "of the impending demise of private education ... barring miraculous change" in the factors that produced the financial cr-isis facing higher education nationally.

The factors most commonly mentioned are external inflation, internal inflation peculiar to education, a depressed stock market, social concerns that have increased expenses such as the need for financial aid, dwindling sources

of income because of tight money or a disenchantment with changing life styles on campuses, and increasing demands by society for services from educational institutions.

Despite the gloomy outlook from other treasurers, Robertson views the future "with optimism. " He writes, "deficit confrontation is a traumatic experience," but "in some ways a salutary experience. It has forced us to reorder our priorities ... to redesign the budgetary process, encourage cost control and to avoid waste."

He concluded "There are hopeful signs that once again we are drawing closer together as a community with shared ideals and with shared responsibilities."

(The outlook nationally and what Trinity is doing "to realign expenditures to balance its budget, under the pressure of fiscal imbalances and constraints" is the subject of the lead article of this issue. -Editor)

"His hands (Robert Leghorn '72) closed slowly around her neck (Miss Jane Howard '72)-a scream-and crash," and down he goes, writes Jay Schaefer '71 ·in introducing an in-depth look at voluntary physical education since requirements were dropped -in 1969.

• The Oregon State system of higher education will base tuition charges next fall on the cost of instruction .

• Columbia University projected a $15.3 million deficit for the current year and announced a five-year austerity program to balance the budget. The theater arts program will by phased out with the graduation of present majors.

• Bradley University and the University of Buffalo are · both dropping intercollegiate football .

• Yale University announced efforts to seek $30 million to finance a deferred tuition plan which would allow students a "tuition postponement option" of up to 35 years to pay swollen tuition rates .

The Association of American Colleges, after surveying 500 institutioas concluded the average private college ran a small deficit in 1968-69. That deficit quintupled in 1969-70 and is expected to be even higher in 1970-71.

In actuality Trinity ran an $86,000 deficit in 1968-69 and a whopping $3 20,00Cl in 1969-70 fe r the year ending June 30, 1970. But Trinity officials are confident that 1970-71 (current fiscal (see CRISIS, page 4)

Letters To The Editor Kind Words Just thought I'd drop you a note to tell you that I enjoy the Trinity Reporter and think it does a fine job of keeping alumni up to date on all Trinity news ...

William P. Kahl '61 Confusion My husband is an alumnus of Trinity and we have both enjoyed reading your current newspaper, the Trinity Reporter.

A Hartford friend has told us that Trinity College is no longer a separate institution, but is merged with the University of Hartford. Is this true now, or is it being planned?

We are very much interested in the affairs at Trinity and would appreciate

information regarding its present and future status.

Edith S. Comins (wife of Harry Comins, MA '26)

It is surprising that a "Hartford friend" is not better infonned. Trinity has neither merged, nor is contemplating merger, with the University of Hartford. Perhaps the confusion can be traced to the cooperative program between Trinity and the Hartt College of Music of the University of Hartford, one of a number of cooperative interinstitutional programs designed to offer students a broader choice of educational opportunities.

"Pirandello, Moravia and Italian Poetry : Intermediate Readings in Italian" edited by Dr. CAMPO, professor and MICHAEL R. co-chairman of Modern Languages, was reviewed in The Modern Language Review. The review called the book a "sensitive presentation of a colourful selection of Italian writings" and "a rewarding experiment in teaching tactics."

The review continues : "As an all-round performance it is probably unique. It tackles three crucial tasks within the compass of a single book. It gives the reader his initial bearings in literary criticism, equips him for stylistic analysis and improves his command of the language itself. Finally, and perhaps most important of all, it whets the appetite for more."

BOOKS BRIDGE OF NO RETURN "The Ordeal of the U.S.S. Pueblo" F. Carl Schumacher, Jr. '65 (Former Operations Officer, U.S ..S. Pueblo) George C. Wilson (Military Correspondent, The Washington Post) Harcourt Brace and Jovanovich, Inc. 1971 241 pages Reviewed by R. Malcolm Salter Director, News Bureau "I had to kill myself," writes Skip Schumacher in the opening line of his vivid and moving account of the capture of the U.S.S. Pueblo on the high seas off Wonsan on January 23, 1968, and the 11-month ordeal he and his shipmates endured as prisoners of the North Koreans.

Schumacher

The young Lieutenant had decided suicide was "the only way out," just three days after capture and twice he tried to carry out his decision by placing his head in a bucket of water in his room, only to choke, cough and sputter his way back into the lonely, bleak, tormenting "life" that was to be his for the next year.

This is the account, as told to veteran journalist George Wilson, of one of the pawns in the gruesome cold war chess game played by the North Koreans after blatantly capturing a U.S. ship on the high seas.

While the capture of the Pueblo and the subsequent incarceration of its crew raises a number of sticky questions, including policy decisions at the highest levels and accountability of the Code of Conduct expected of military personnel, Skip's book essentially concentrates, as best as he can remember, on those 11

months he was a prisoner of the North Koreans.

Here is the account of the endless days and nights alone in a shabby, cold room, hours of countless beatings, interrogation and forced continued confessions. The physical and mental torture, the anguish, the hunger, pain and torment suffered by this young officer and pFesumably by the other 81 surviving members of the Pueblo in the hands of the North Koreans. This is a moving and detailed report of treatment of prisoners and techniques of interrogation by an adversary which the Navy and all branches of the military for that matter would do well in presenting as a field manual or as a film in training of military men today. It is not an account of what might happen in the , hands of an enemy; it is the frightful tale of what did happen.

There is a~so an inspiration in this account in seeing the crew regain its unity after a few months and find ways to defy their captors and even outwit them despite the peril ilil doing so.

The real tragedy of the Pueblo, and the worst torment of all for its crew, was not the inhuman treatment at the hands of the North Koreans but the official greeting they received when they returned "home."

After a public welcome home and touching reunion with family and loved ones Christmas eve 1968, the men of the Pueblo were subjected to investigations, military inquiries and the innuendos of crimes against their own government.

Then, without resolving any of the doubts it cast, the Navy dropped the matter. Once again each member of the Pueblo crew was alone.

"What right," asks Wilson in his Epilogue, "has the Navy and the rest of the country to leave men like Schumacher unrepatriated spiritually?

This book was written to ask that question. Now it is time for the country to. answer it. The Pueblo men have already waited too long."

In his senior year at Trinity, Skip Schumacher asked if he could list me as a reference on his application to Naval Officers Candidate School. He had served as a photographic student assistant in the News Bureau for two years. Subsequently I received a standard reference form from the U.S . Navy.

In the summary remarks section I penned, "I believe Mr. Schumacher has the potential of becoming a fine officer and would be a credit to the Navy and our nation." After reading "Bridge of No Return," my only regret is that I did not put that line all in caps.

Student-Run Cinestudio Attracting Large Audiences

FULL HOUSE - Cinestudio, with its nightly fare of popular films and classics, has proved one of the most successful student-directed campus activities.

Cinestudio, the student cinema project in Krieble Auditorium, successfully completed its first full semester of 35 mm operations in December. Income from ticket sales is being spent on equipment, hardware and construction materials to renovate the auditorium. Trinity students are doing the work.

The goal of the project is to provide the College with a well-equipped auditorium for audio-visual presentations and lectures during the day, and for high-quality theatrical film shows at night.

In the 18 months during which students have been working in the auditorium a great deal has been accomplished. The entire theater has been painted, and acoustical tiles and draperies installed, safety lights and crash bars for the exit doors added, the projection booth and its equipment modernized.

Although the project has already created a functioning cinema, many features remain to be improved in the years ahead such as new seats, carpeting, curtains, automated equipment, etc.

Having started with a Film Society program of ten 路 16mm1 films for the whole year in 1965, Trinity now boasts in Cinestudio the most ambitious schedule of 35mm showings in the Hartford area.

This past semester, there were 46 program changes, consisting of 71 different feature films for a total of 115 separate performances. In January and February, 32 different films will be shown over a period of 35 days.

The claim by Cinestudio that it is "the first continuous film festival" is borne out by the quality as well as the quantity of films appearing on its screen. Foreign films and rarities, some of them Hartford premieres, are shown, interspersed with popular audience films and the usual Film Society classics.

Obviously, Cinestudio shows are a convenience to Trinity students. They are a bargain, too, because a double feature costs about half the price of a single film in most first-run theaters. For the Hartford community, Cinestudio is also a cultural asset because it underwrites showings of fine films which regular commercial houses cannot afford to run.

Some films which even appeared on critics' "ten best" lists for 1971 received their only Hartford showings at Cinestudio.

There are also educational benefits from Cinestudio. High school and college teachers in city and suburban schools have sent their students to see films at Cinestudio in conjunction with film, literature, and religion courses. Discussion

groups from churches have attended, as have other community groups. The special Martin Luther King memorial film was shown in Hartford only at Cinestudio.

At the request of Trinity faculty, films have been shown at regular theatrical performances or at specially arranged class hour showings. English, modern languages, history, psychology, astronomy, non-Western studies have used the renovated Krieble Auditorium in this way . A particularly successful event was the series of 13 episodes comprising the British .Broadcasting Corpor~tion's "Civilisation" series, sponsored last spring by the Department of the Arts.

Numbers of shows are not the only measure of progress at Cinestudio. This past semester several further physical improvements were completed. Four track, high fidelity magnetic stereophonic sound was added through the acquisition of several new speakers and the installation of associated mechanical and electronic equipment in the projection booth. The booth itself was acoustically treated and painted.

Downstairs the lobby painting was completed and the box office furnished.

Cinestudio has ordered its own specially designed tickets; other printing of posters, passes, and forms is done by the students on their duplicator-printer.

Telephone communications are now complete with the addition of a pay phone in the lobby. In the box office there are two outside business lines, one having an answering machine, and a campus extension. A projection booth phone is connected to t!:is system.

The College will receive other educational benefits from the project as well. Film rentals for a student taught course in film aesthetics are largely being underwritten by Cinestudio income. Free campus showings of classics in 16mm will also be provided. In time, it is planned to support filmmaking, to bring lecturers to campus, and to cooperate with the American Film Institute in Washington.

Students participating in the porject benefit most directly. Naturally, they get to see the movies free and they enjoy working together, but meanwhile they are learning about cinema management. They deal with distributors by phone, transport films, write publicity. The projectionists, in particular, benefit because they gain entry into a specific technical field through a system of apprenticeship leading to licensing. The enthusiasm of the students remains high and is self-generating as they develop a project that is achieving results.

Alumni Invited To Rome Campus Alumni and their families planning to visit Rome this summer are welcome to attend classes on the Trinity /Rome Campus without charge.

The Rome program, now in its second year of operation, will be conducted from June 9 until July 29.

In making the announcement, Dr. Michael R. Campo, director of Trinity /Rome, stressed that alumni and their families would be welcome to sit in on classes and to join the numerous walking tours that are conducted several times a week. And- at no charge.

Course offerings will include anthropology, art history, studio arts, graphics and watercolor painting, culture and society in medieval Italy, the Italian Renaissance, introductory and intermediate Italian, and opera.

"A visit to Rome," said Dr. Campo, "is a rewarding experience in itself but being able to participate in the program offered on the Trinity/Rome Campus will add a new and exciting dimension to a vacation trip.

"We hope that many alumni will take advantage of the opportunity to join us on Aventine Hill."

A brochure describing in detail the Trinity /Rome program is available and may be obtained by writing Dr. Campo at the College or the Editor.

CRISIS (from page 1) year ending June 30) will not bring a bigger deficit as the AAC study predicts but in fact now envisions that the College can end the current year breaking even.

Economists can cite a number of interrelated factors and events which brought colleges to the financial brink, but "the essence of the problem" says the Carnegie report, is that costs and income are both rising, but costs are rising at a steady or slowly growing ratio, whereas income is growing at a declining rate.

The point is also made that traditionally the costs of education have percentage-wise outpaced the rate of inflation felt generally in the economy.

Looking at the percent of increase in expenses over the rate of increase in income for Trinity during recent years is illuminating. During 1966-67, income rose 13.9% but expenses increased during the same year by 15 .4%. Over the last four years growth in expenses has exceeded income growth by an average of 1% annually.

Long before the Carnegie report, Trinity began taking steps to cut expenses while renewing efforts to increase income.

The results of the combined effort to break the deficit trend and keep the present budget in balance are not in yet.

But President Lockwood says "hopefully we are heading out of trouble," and he is still optimistic that the College will end the current fiscal year (ending June 30) without a deficit.

He said, "The problem is not solely a fiscal one, you can run a deficit educationally. You have to pay for quality. What we are trying to do is maintain high quality within the present fiscal constraints."

The College took the following steps to achieve a balanced budget for the current fiscal year (ending June 30, 1971) ...

• Administrative services were reduced by three full-time people (including one dean).

-. The Athletic department budget was not increased.

• The rising curve in financial aid was

Counselor Warns Seniors

Job-Openings Are Scarce The number of jobs available for graduating college seniors will probably be some 25% less than the number of openings a year ago, says Mrs. Paula I. Robbins, director of career counseling at the College.

Mrs. Robbins, who succeeded the late John Butler in the career counseling office, told the Trinity student body in a midwinter newsletter, that based on information from the National College Placement Council, "The job outlook for graduating seniors is not encouraging."

She reported, "early indications are that employers in business, industry, government and education will have quotas averaging 25% less than in 1970."

Mrs. Robbins attributed the situation to "the depressed economy" which has reduced the normal rate of turnover in jobs "resulting in fewer openings," coupled with an increase in the number of graduating students who will be seeking employment. And it is expected fewer seniors will be entering military service, she added.

Mrs. Robbins said, "The students who will have the most difficulty in finding jobs are new BA's in liberal arts, education, chemistry and physics."

However, she noted that jobs for which there will be a relatively greater demand will be vocationally-oriented, including

leveled off. ("This was the hardest of all our decisions," says President Lockwood.)

• The size of the faculty was kept to 130 positions (this was done in 1969-70) while the student body was increased slightly to 1475.

President Lockwood views the present economic situation as "A very serious crisis, but I am persuaded it is a manageable one."

But a crisis can also contain a beneficial lesson and herein lies some of President Lockwood's reasoning.

He says "We can solve many aspects of higher education that we (educators) haven't come to grips with because of the

accounting, economics, general business, marketing and civil engineering.

Career Counselor Paula Robbins has suggested that alumni whose business organizations employ summer help might consider Trinity undergraduates. "Our scholarship students in particular," she said, "are in need of employment during the summer months." Interested alumni should write Mrs. Robbins at the College, outlining qualifications for summer job openings. She will furnish resumes of qualified students and, if possible, arrange for interviews during the Spring Vacation period.

However, Mrs. Robbins said, "Students with good qualifications and who actively seek jobs should find them. Thqse with marginal skills, or who just sit back waiting for a job, will have problems."

She ended the newsletter with a list of representatives from companies which would be on campus interviewing students and an announcement that the Peace Corps has listed 3900 openings in 62 nations, including 350 different job categories for June graduates. She also listed several opportunities for graduate study. business and the faculty is the heart of our program," President Lockwood said.

• maintain the intercollegiate athletic program without fundamental changes but keep the budget down.

• level off financial aid to the 1970-71 figure of $740,000 (which means less will be available for the incoming class) but increase efforts to seek more gifts for scholarships.

• careful assessment of all administrative services for further trimming as determined in relation to priorities and costs.

• exercise greater concern towards repairs and renovations; "studies have shown that budget cuts here have caught

"A very serious crisis but ... a manageable one" (financial) heat. One of our (higher education) problems is that we have historically not looked at the long range effects of what we were doing at the moment... and in an inflationary period this can't be done."

He concluded this during his first year as president of Trinity and as early as January 1969 he told the budget planners to project "to see what the problems would be in five years and then plan the annual budget in those terms."

The president said a "reordering or priorities" is necessary in higher education. "Matching priorities with resources over the long· range," is the solution, he feels, and to do this "you must determine the highest priorities in which you must operate" and then determine "how you can effectively use the resources available."

In budget planning for the next fiscal year, 1971-72, with an objective of reordering and matching priorities with limited resources under mounting economic pressures, the following broad decisions have been made by the administration: • continue to increase faculty salaries "so as to maintain the quality of our academic program and to improve our competitive position. Education is our

up with private schools- continued deferred maintenance can be the demise of all of us," President Lockwood observes.

While he is hopeful that the planned budget for 1971-72 can be brought into balance, President Lockwood points out that it will not include the funds necessary for a capital expenditure urgently needed to expand the dining and kitchen facility in Mather Hall. This will have to be funded outside the budget through capital gifts, loans or other means.

All of the national studies and others conclude that colleges must increase incomes while reducing expenditures to meet "the greatest crisis facing higher education."

It is precisely because Trinity's income has brightened this year with favorable results to date in the $3 50,000 Annual Giving Program (budgeted as income), that the college is predicting that it can end the present year without further deficit.

It is also counting on more belt tightening within its priorities coupled with continued increased support in the future from all sources of income as the formula to proving that the present crisis "is a manageable one."

by Jay L. Schaefer '71 His hands closed slowly around her neck, his eyes stared into hers: then a loud scream - "he-yah" - and the small fragile freshman girl sent the big senior flying head over heels onto the mat.

The students were practicing judo in one of the new classes offered by the Physical Education Department. Other new courses now popular include karate, scuba diving, skiing, sailing and indoor tennis .

The former traditional group activities such as touch football, softball, basketball, soccer and .volleyball have given way to student requests for "carry-over" courses that include extensive individual instruction, according to Professor Roy A. Dath, coordinator of the physical education program.

The change came two years ago with the faculty's adoption of the New Curriculum, which eliminated required courses and brought sweeping reform and new courses. to many departments, but none more radical than the P.E. program.

The curriculum change came at the time the doors of the George M. Ferris Athletic Center were about to open.

The initial change eliminated the two-year physical education requirement, Dath said, and allowed students voluntarily to take physical education courses for. a maximum of one academic credit (four classes - or one year for one credit and . no limit on the number of activities without credit).

"People thought we might be lonely down here and that the change (eliminating requirement) might be the end of our program," said Robert E. (Robie) Shults, associate professor of P.E., "but that hasn't happened . Students are coming down, and we've offered new courses to keep them interested."

Dath said the response from the students - and especially the girls, who are in every class has been "tremendous." For example 96 students signed up for Thursday night skiing lessons at nearby slopes. However, we were able to accommodate only half this number, Dath reported and he added there are always waiting lists for squash and tennis classes, and bowling, sailing and golf fill up fast.

Leo J. Hamel, trainer, who offers courses m judo, medical self-help, and body r.1ecl1anics (for girls) said there has been "a big change frorr. the time when we used to line up and do standing broad jumps. Now the students learn skills. The

Assistant Professor David Bumn admits he took a crash course in kamte to "keep a few chops ahead" of his students when course was first introduced. Now he teaches advanced techniques.

program is a combination of activities found now at country clubs, health spas and tennis clubs," he said.

All of the coaches agreed that under the old system the courses were often filled with unwilling students. Now, they point out, there is a receptive attitude in. the classes that makes the students easier to teach and their teachers more enthusiastic.

Each department member teaches physical education courses in addition to coaching intercollegiate sports (varsity and freshman athletics). "We wear a lot of hats," said instructor William P. Sferro, "but it is enjoyable, and the program is worthwhile." Sferro is an assistant football coach, freshman basketball coach, freshman lacrosse coach and teaches bowling, squash and urban recreation classes.

Several of the coaches had to brush up on the fundamentals of newly offered courses. Assistant Professor David R. Buran said he was "only a few chops ahead of the students" during his first karate classes, and Hamel went ahead and earned his brown belt in judo ."

Robie Shults said students interested in team sports can work out with the varsity, play intramurals, or compete in pick-up games. Many students have organized continuing classes in fencing, sailing, karate and formed a gymnastics club to continue developing their new skills by themselves.

In addition to teaching beginning and survival swimming and Senior Life Saving, Assistant Professor Robert D. Slaughter works with water safety instructors who are eager to give individual swimming instructign as part of their practice teaching program. Now with classes in diving and scuba diving, Slaughter said, "The aquatics program offers everything except water skiing."

Slaughter said the old required swimming program had kept the pool occupied most of the day. With the new curriculum, the swimming pool, along with most of the other field house facilities, are available for greater recreational use during the day by students, faculty and alumni.

The Ferris Center opens at 7:00a.m. with several students and faculty regularly playing indoor tennis or jogging around the indoor dirt track at that hour before going to class. Activities continue in the facilities until 10 :00 p.m. with the evenings us~ally reserved for recreational use.

There is a recreation program from 11 :45 to 1 :00 p.m. daily for alumni and faculty to enjoy basketball, squash, tennis, weight lifting and swimming. And there are other programs., such as "bubble babies swimming" for the pre-school children of faculty and staff of the College.

Another aspect of physical education stressed in the new program is coaching and teaching "urban recreation," a pilot course offered by Sferro, which will become a graduate lecture/lab seminar leading to further work in Hartford.

Medical self-help, a "first-aid-plus" course explains how to treat persons injured during blackouts or other emergencies.

Associate Professor Donald G. Miller, varsity football coach , offers a seminar in "coaching varsity football," designed for students interested in teaching or coaching. He also teaches squash and coaches freshman baseball.

Dath said that in addition to new courses offered which include badminton, archery, recreational rowing, gymnastics and physical development (men only) other courses will be added when students express an interest.

Professor Roy Dath, coordinator of PE Program, checks Thomas Schaible '72 and Miss June Cicerchia '74 onto bus heading for area slopes for night skiing which turned out to be the most popular activity this winter, attracting 96 students, twice the number who could be accommodated.

Professor Karl Kurth Jr., director of athletics, said he was happy with the increasing participation in the classes but that, he was concerned under the voluntary participation, some students might leave college unable to swim, who never developed a skill in a carry-over activity, or who had no knowledge of the need for physical fitness.

"If I was assured the students had these abilities before coming to Trinity, I wouldn't be concerned," Kurth said.

Both Kurth and Dath said an increasing number of students are "auditing" physical education courses and participating in an activity without receiving academic credit.

The physical education program at Trinity is unusual, according to Dath as it offers a wide-range of courses (with textbooks and individual instruction) that are not required, but may be taken for academic credit. He said many other colleges were studying the program to see how Trinity combined voluntary physical

education, a modern well-equipped athletic center and new courses to bring about spiralling enthusiasm among the students, faculty, coaches and alumni.

This year's senior class, however, will be the last to remember the days of the (all-male) 路 required half-mile survival swim.

"Alright, men ," the instructor used to say, "you're going to have to swim half a mile.路 Everyone into the pool." And 20 naked young men jumped into the water.

But no more. The new curriculum ended that memorable forced swim and coeducation has prompted posting signs in the locker rooms today noting "Swim suits must be worn at all times ."

The sign is a reminder of the dramatic changes that have swept the physical education department in the past two years. Wearing swimsuits also points to a new requirement issued by a department which is flourishing in the absence of old ones.

Varsity Sports Spring Schedule

Greenblatt Joins Iooo-Point Club

Opponent

Date How about Trinity as a 21-point favorite over Southern Cal. in basketball?

Would you believe TC by four over Rochester?

You better say "yes" to the second question for that is what prompted the first query. It was posed by Hartford Courant sportswriter Tom Hines after Trinity stunned favored Rochester by four points Saturday , the same team that topped Air Force by ten . Air Force lost to Notre Dame by four but the Irish upset UCLA by seven. And UCLA of course toppled Southern Cal. by four.

Think that one over. It's the Bantams by 21."

A Trinity team probably will never see a Southern Cal. or UCLA quintet on the basketball court but you can't blame Athletic Director Karl Kurth if he toys with the idea. For the stiffer the competition the stronger the response from Robie Shults' charges.

After muddling through the 1970 portiqn of the schedule (2-4) and opening 1971 with a poor showing against so-so Kings Point, the Bantams began reacting to the competition like bottles of milk on a freezing day in the 1930's. You just couldn't keep the lid on them.

Perennially strong Williams just did escape by one point. Middlebury, having its best season in 15 years, fell to underdog Trin by two. Manchester Community College was buried by 45 and then came Rochester.

Even though they were within a basket of winning until the last 20 seconds, the Yellowjackets never had a chance.

Unfortunately for Rochester it was "Howie Greenblatt Night" at the Ferris Center.

Most of the 500 fans had come to the spacious gymnasium anticipating that Greenblatt would score the 13 points he needed to hit 1,000 career points. But few expected to see a Trin victory over a Rochester team which had held its own before losing to Ohio Wesleyan and Cornell and then defeated Air Force in the Kodak Classic.

But Greenblatt's teammates, like thoughtful Trinity men, wanted this night to be a memorable one for their captain.

Sophomore Nat Williams responded with an amazing 35-point performance complemented by Tom McGuirk's 17 and both front court men made sure Trinity stayed even on rebounds with the taller Yellowjackets.

Ray Perkins turned in an outstanding backcourt game before fouling out late in the contest and Jim Wolcott turned in. a clutch performance as did Ron Cretaro.

As for Greenblatt, he turned in his usual all-around performance of excellence just as he does in the classroom as a dean's list student who was recently elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

The little 5' 10" guard dribbled, stole the ball, passed to open men and did all the things he is supposed to do except score frequently. By half time he had only three baskets and a cut over his eye.

He seemed more like the playmaker on the Weaver High School team of the mid-sixties than the second leading college scorer in Connecticut with an average of 22 points a night.

Twelve minutes into the second half Greenblatt had only 11 points, but his otherwise exciting performance, along with the inspired play of his teammates, had Trinity even with Rochester and the fans sensing an upset.

With 8:31 remaining the Hartford native hit the 1,000 mark on a 20-foot jumper putting Trinity ahead 69-68 and the referee's whistle suspended play . By prearrangement both teams left the floor, Leaving Greenblatt in a well-deserved

Howie Greenblatt, after scoring 1 ,OOOth career point receives appropriately marked basketball _from hi~ ~d, Sol, (right), and coach Robie Shults, (left). The sharp-shootmg guard ts ftfth to reach scoring milestone. center of attention.

During a three-minute standing ovation which drowned out the public address announcer's attempts to explain the 1,000 point achievement to Rochester alumni present, Howie was presented with a ball .by his Coach and his dad, Sol Greenblatt.

It was only the fifth time a player has reached 1,000 career points at Trinity.

And Howie is the first under six feet to join the exclusive club. Other members are, in order of induction: Barry Leghorn '64 (1 ,066), Jim Belfiore '66 (1 ,369), Don Overbeck '67 (1,139) and Joe Pantalone '70 (1,124 in two seasons). (A vote here for John Norman '62 as an honorary member as he had 803 points with 10 games to go when he was

sidelined with a knee injury.)

Success goes to Greenblatt's hands. In the remaining 7:29 to play against Rochester he scored six points and had three assists. He and his teammates kept up the pace and forced a tie with 1:05 remaining. In the next 55 seconds the Bantams scored three times, twice within 10 seconds, to put the game out of reach 93-87, before Rochester could score a game-ending basket.

It was a memorable evening for the senior captain and his obliging teammates. Tlle way the Bantams fought on Howie Greenblatt night even Southern Cal. might not have been able to keep them bottled up.

Moe Drabowsky '57 Accepts Gold Key

By Praising Others Veteran major league pitcher Moe Drabowsky '57, received a coveted Gold Key from the Connecticut Sportswriters Alliance at the group's annual mid-winter awards dinner.

Drab ow sky, who leaped from the Trinity diamond right to the major leagues, didn't throw any curves in receiving the Gold Key. But the former relief hurler for the World Champion Baltimore Orioles (he is now with the St. Louis Cardinals) did present a touching change up when he accepted the honor not for himself but on behalf of five people who had the most to do with his success - his mother and father; Ralph Erickson, his coach at Loomis School; the late Dan Jessee, his teacher at Trinity; and his wife, Liz Drabowsky .

Drabowsky was so sincere in paying tribute to others that it prompted long-time Hartford Courant Sports Editor Bill Lee to write the next day "The way Moe put it into words it didn't come off the least bit corny. In the end, he just about made the award a memorial to Jessee."

Despite his efforts to pitch the praises of others it was Drabowsky's Gold Key for distinguished service to sports by a man from Connecticut. He is the fourth Trinity man so honored by the Connecticut Sportswriters Alliance. Cited in previous years were Ken Smith '25 , the director of the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y. ; Ray Oosting, professor of physical education, emeritus; and the late Dan Jessee.
