McNulty McNulty says the program, which has been under consideration for months by the Educational Policy Committee, should be of special interest to freshman students. "We are giving them," he says, "a gargantuan feast in which they can sample dishes never available before. Then they can go back for more of the ones that please them. The same opportunity is now available for upperclassmen."

The course will run through two full semesters - from September 14 to April 26. Lectures will be given on Tuesday evenings so that interested members of the community may attend. Registration details for the

TRINITY COLLEGE, HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT

New Program Ready for Fall One of the enduring values of Trinity is its willingness to experiment.

Soon to be announced is a new program, admittedly experimental, which proves the point.

The program thrusts in three directions - toward the students, toward the faculty, and toward the general public. It is interdisciplinary to a degree never before known on the campus. It requires no formal registration. It will discuss complicated issues and theories more or less in layman's terms. It is designed for intellectual excitement. It will grant course credit without cost and without examination.

Only a 50 percent attendance record is required. Plus a critique of the lectures attended. No grades, no failures ....

The title of the course is "Horizons," a title which is meant to indicate that the course will pursue the now and the f•1ture as well as the relevant past.

Structured to introduce students to academic disciplines they might otherwise never experience, "Horizons" will focus on what is· happening- today-in history, political science, psychology, mathematics and literary criticism, for example.

Altogether, lecturers from 23 different academic departments will discuss the key current or emerging ideas in their fields. As English Professor J. Bard McNulty, who is the program's coordinator, puts it, "We want to show the student what is 'up front."'

general public will be announced soon.

A major rationale of the new course is to introduce students to disciplines outside his field of major interest. As President Lockwood noted in his annual report (October, 1975), the open curriculum begun at Trinity in 1969 was expected to contribute to this broadening of intellectual horizons, since it permitted a wider range of course choices with no requirements outside of the major. The reverse, however, was true. Students took the opposite course. Studies showed a shift of 15 percent more intense preparation in the student's major.

"Horizons," it is hoped, will help to reverse the trend. Students will be able to choose at will from among lectures in the areas of American Studies, Biology, Chemistry, Classics, Comparative Literature, Dance, Economics, Education, Engineering, English, Fine Arts, History, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Religion, Sociology, Theatre :A.-ts, artd Urban arrd -E-miin::mmenta.-1 Studies. Many of the lectures will be accompanied by demonstrations, slides or film.

Typical of the ground to be covered are such topics as how computers are changing the study and interpretation of history; new trends in literary criticism emphasizing psychology; the dynamics of urban and suburban stresses; the psychology of perception (precisely how does one see the "same" person in photographs taken at ages 18 and 70?); and the implications of mind-altering drugs, food additives, birth control drugs and other chemicals.

Dean of the Faculty Edwin P. Nye also thinks the new program may have what he terms "a serendipitous effect."

He points out that faculty members work hard to keep abreast of developments in their own field, let alone others. "Here is a way for faculty to talk to each other in a different context," he says.

"What we will be doing," says Professor McNulty, who is also secre~ tary of the faculty, "is to provide accomplished lecturers who will discuss recent events and developments in their fields in terms that are 'popular' in the-hesl nse-'--::__- rhat is, inreil'ectaaflj rewarding and at the same time interesting to a wide spectrum of the community."

Senior Wins Watson Fellowship A Trinity College senior has received a $7,000 fellowship grant which will enable him to study in Scandinavia for most of next year.

Stephen J. Thomas of Peoria, Illinois, has accepted a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship grant to study the folk instruments and folk music of Norway, Denmark and Sweden. When the year is over, he hopes to have mastered such traditional instruments as fiol (fiddle), the nykelharpa (key-fiddle) and -the hummel (a cousin to the Appalachian dulcimer).

In addition to formal study of archives, Thomas plans to travel from village to village, recording the music and playing with the village musicians.

In Sweden he expects to stay at least two months in the province of Dalarna. "The recordings of the fiddlers from Dalarna I've heard are very beautiful and said to be the best in Sweden," he says. "I especially want to track down the spelman, the local musician who is called for all weddings, celebrations, and funerals." An accomplished guitarist and player-byear, Thomas says he expects few problems with the instruments or the music.

In Norway he plans to spend some time in the province of Hardanger.

Here, he says, one of the few ancient folk instruments, the Hardanger fiddle, is still played and Thomas is arranging to study with Sigbjorn Osa, the finest living Hardanger fiddler.

Thomas defines folk music as that which "has been handed down orally, not written or recorded. This indicates the song's wide acceptance. The other important requirement is that the song be played on the country's traditional instruments."

He expects to buy a nyckelharpa as soon as possible and when he returns to the Swedish province of Dalarna "the midsummer's festival will have begun and I can sit with my nyckelharpa and take part in the celebration."

Trinity College is one of only 35 private colleges and universities invited by the Thomas J. Watson Foundation to submit candidates for the prestigious fellowships. The fellowships provide a break in which the graduating senior may thoroughly explore his or her particular interest in a disciplined way while developing a more informed sense of international concern.

Apprentice Research Grant Awarded By NSF Trinity College is one of only 165 institutions throughout the country to be awarded grants in the National Science Foundation's Undergraduate Research Participation Program. Altogether, 627 proposals were submitted by various schools for NSF consideration.

The NSF announced in March that it has awarded the College $19,000 to enable students to engage in inde-

Presidential Campaign Issues File Created The College Library is establishing a consolidated Presidential Campaign Issues File. The File will contain all the position papers of each of the candidates now seeking the office of President, and will be located in the Government Documents Department of the Library.

To date the Library has received the posJtJOn papers of Ford, Reagan, Carter, Bayh, Byrd and Udall. Trinity expects to receive shortly the position material from Jackson, Wallace, Church, Harris and possibly, Shriver.

The project is the result of the combined efforts of Peter J. Knapp, Reference Librarian, and Clyde D. McKee, Jr., a member of the Political Science Department.

Professor McKee said, "There is an obvious need for the Presidential Issues File. Recently my environmental law students were debating which of the candidates had the clearest and strongest positi.ons on environmental policy.

None of the students had ·reao any of the candidates' environmental position papers. The same was true with my state and local government students.

With the File, faculty members will be able to prepare assignments using comparative issue analysis, an area that has been under-utilized as a teaching method."

The purpose of the project is to provide a convenient resource for students, faculty members, reporters, and members of the Hartford community who wish to compare the policy positions of the various candidates.

Peter Knapp is enthusiastic about the project because it encourages students to delve deeper into the resources of the Library. He said, "Once students have examined the positions of the candidates, they may wish to research the issues thoroughly and thereby come to appreciate the excellent collection of government documents and reports in our Documents Department.

We are one of the few depositories of government documents in the entire Capitol Region and are pleased to make the Issues File available to members of the general public."

pendent research and study. The grant will fund research to be conducted this summer by ten Trinity students who will work in the areas of biological sciences, chemistry and engineering.

Biology Professor James M. Van Stone, assisted by eight faculty members, will guide the students, mainly on a one-to-one basis. The interdisciplinary projects are designed to expand the students' knowledge of basic research techniques and to help them develop scientific creativity.

March / April1976

From Dickens to Joyce to Berrone It's a long way from Hartford to Padua , but Professor Louis Berrone '54, M.A. '58, followed the trail and struck paydirt. In February he came to Trinity with an exhibit and a lecture to tell what he had found.

The story began over a year ago whe n Dr. Berrone, now assoc iate professor of English at Fairfield University, Connecticut, discovered in Richard EHmann's biography "James Joyce" a reference to a letter Jo yce had written to his brother in 1912. In the letter Joyce wrote: "Today I had to write my English theme - Dickens, and saw my English examiner, an old, ugly spinster from the tight little island - a most dreadful frump (reformed spelling.)"

This was all Berrone needed. He knew that Joyce, badly in need of a job , had taken a series of exams at the Universit y of Padua in order to qualify for a teaching position in Italian public schools. Berrone requested a sabbatical and went to Padua where he asked the university archivist for the Joyce file something no one had ever thought to do before . And there it was, Joyce's essay on Dickens plus an essay on the Renaissance, translations and assorted correspondence.

Berrone, quoted in the New York Times, said, "I was stunned. I am still stunned."

The University of Padua's exam records show that Joyce got 30 out of a possible 50 on his Renaissance essay, 50 out of 50 for the Dickens essay and for translation from Italian into English 50 out of 50. This was more than enough to pass but he was told that his Dublin degree wasn't good enough for Italian standards. Had he passed, it is possible that in the late thirties Joyce may have been a pensioner of the Italian public schools.

To Louis Berrone, the newly discovered essays provided valuable insights to the creative, though seemingly unlikely, links between Joyce and Dickens.

Berrone Berrone noted in his lecture at Trinity that "Besides his popular appeal Dickens' most positive qualities, in Joyce's view, are (I shall interpolate a little ) his magic in evoking London and its life, for which he has earned the epithet the "Great Cockney"; his abilities (with no malice intended in the tags) as a great caricaturist comparable to Hogarth and a great sentimentalist comparable to Goldsmith; and his knack for creating uniquely individuated human charac ters by touches of exaggeration: characters who are human and fantastic ."

Berrone sees all of these qualities (for "Great Cockney" read "Great Dubliner") in Joyce and sugges ts that the influence is too strong to be ignored in a study of his work. He notes th at Buck Mulligan, Leo Bloom and the schoolmaster Deasy in "Ulysses" are all caricatures. e points to the similarities between Leo Bloom, Molly Bloom and Leo Hunter and Mrs. Leo Hunter of "Pickwick Papers."

This is only the beginning of the scholarly ana logues being pursued by Professor Berrone. All are being closely fo ll owed by Joyceans here and abroad.

Career Advisory Program Beyond Expectations

By Sue Weiselberg '76 In less than four months the new alumni-parent career advisory progra m has achieved a remarkable level of partiCipation. Since November about 960 alumni and parents in 43 states have volunteered to serve as career advisors.

In addition to talking with students about their own kinds of work, 135 advisors have agreed to provide paid or volunteer internships, either during the summer or the semester, for the students.

The response has been so overwhelming that Gerald Hansen, director of alumni relations, felt constrained to write to vo lunteers, "It is important for you to understand that all advisors may not be contacted in the immediate future, although certain ones may be inundated. The program has grown in such magnitude that we are bound to suffer growing pains. We ask your patience as we make adjustments and improvements in the early stages .... " So far, about 100 students, 80 % of them seniors, have consulted the listing of advisors, and have signed up to contact 277 alumni and parents.

Seniors lo oking for a job have already met with advisors to learn more about their field, and many of the advisors have gone a step further - they have

given the seniors lists of people to contact for jobs, or have occasionally found jobs for them.

Dr. Christop her Shinkman, director of career counseling, said, "This program can't help but broaden the students. It's a learning experience, just soaking up the surrounding of the advisors at work. However, students shou ld not expect the alumni to help place them in jobs. That is not the function of the program. " A lm ost one-third of the advisors have indicated that they would be glad to return to Trinity and participate in a dvisory panels. Four panel discussions, on health, social services, law, and finance professions, are being held in April.

Dr. 路 Shinkman commented, "Everyone has been startled by the overwhelming response; there's been an amazing outpouring for this institution. Our alumni are an enormous valuab le resource that we ought to be making use of.

Because the program is in its early stages, not all the students have made use of it yet. Therefore, some of the alumni and parents who have volunteered to be advisors may not be contacted for a while. Mr. Hansen and Dr. Shinkman said that they hope this does not inconvenience the advisors.

BOARD APPROVES BALANCED BUDGET On March 13 the Board of Trustees formall y approved a balanced budge t for 1976-77 which will increase student ch arges by about 7 percent. The in crease is smaller, in some cases substa nti ally , than those announced by comparable institutions.

Prior to submitting th e budge t to the Board, Presiden t Lockwood and the adm in istra ti on held a number of m ee tings with the faculty-student Fina ncia l Affa irs Committee and also invited the entire student body to comment. Here are his remarks describing the rationale behind the document w hi ch will guide the Coll ege's operations during the coming year.

The budget is balanced, a fact that both distinguishes it from the budgets of m a ny private institutions, and is an important consideration in our abi lity to a ttrac t support for Trinity .

Revenues: Critical to the preparation of a new budget is an es tim ate of reve nues which we may realistically anticipate during the coming year. In many categories we cannot expect any significa nt increases, as with interest earned on short- term in ves tm ents.

Endowment income, representing current ly 18.7% of our total educa tional a nd general revenues, depends on the movements of the securities market as mu ch as the diversification of the portfo li o .

Although our present capital campaign will add significantly to our endowed funds, much of that new money is in the form of pledges to be paid over the next five years. Moreover, thi s campaign will have the temporary effec t of holding down income from our annual fund-rai si ng efforts.

The College w ill propose an increase of $275 in tuition for next year, to a total of $3,600. At the same tim e the general fee will rise by $25 to offset th e deficit in Mather Campus Center.

For students using the College's dining faci lities, the rise in the cos t of food and services (for example, a hike in the wages and benefits to employees and helpers) requires an increase of $60, to $820 for the year. The room charge will remain a t its present level.

The increase for students will range between $300 and $360 or approximat ely a 7 % rise.

The primary reason for these increases is inflation. Over the last six years, the adjustments in tuition h ave barely kept up with inflation , whether measured against the consumer price index or shifts in disposable income.

For example, the cost of books a nd periodicals has risen an average of 15 % per year.

Utility expenditures, now nearly $850,000 at Trinity, have risen drama-

ticall y as everyon e realizes. To prevent a real decline in salaries, the College must also maintain an nu al increases for its personnel.

Although there is some indication that the rate of inflation may decline thi s year, next year's increases in tuition and board fees reflect the consequences of the past year on the financia l position of the College.

Expenditures: Trinity also wishes to use these addition al revenues to sustain a reasonab le level of support in its academic programs at a time when most institutions h ave been forced to retrench. This is mo st clearly seen by the fact that the in stru ction budget will increase by $277, 000 or 9 % over the 1975-76 budget. Instruction will be 38% of the total educa tional and ge neral budget against 37.2 % over the past two years. This a llocation comp ares most favorably with that of our sister institutions and is the highest percentage at Trinity in the last eight years. In addition, we shall purchase a new computer. The College will increase its budget for student workers by $6,000 over 1975-76. The Concert Cho ir w ill be funded from College reso urces rath er th an the student ac tivities fee.

Library expenditures w ill go up 9.4% to en sure that our collections are maintained at an appropriate level. We shall install a library security system.

In the residence ha lls there has been a long-ra nge program of major renova-

tions which Trinity intends to continue during the next year. We shall purchase more lounge furniture, and the Resident Assistants will receive compensation for their' work. These latter two items amount to an increase of $25,000 .

In Admissions we are providing for an additional position because of the increased volume of applicants and to improve our recruitment and selection process. In response to rising student use of Career Counselling, we shall add staff to that operation.

Financial aid presents an especially difficult problem since both federal and state programs face close legislative scrutiny and a crunch on funds for gove rnment operations. Therefore, we h ave decided to increase the monies for scholarships provided directly from the Coll ege's operating budget by 12 % next year. Unhappily this will do little more than maintain our present position unless other sources, including gifts to endowed scholarships, rise also.

In conclusion, the increases proposed seek to meet the intractable inflation which ha s driven all costs up and to reaffirm Trinity's commitment to provide the highes t quality of undergradua te education possible. In comparison wit h other independent institutions, these increases are between $50 and $250 less than tho se a lready an nounced by similar colleges and universities in the northeast.

M a rch / Apri l ·r976

By Nancy Nies '78 "Hands on!" screamed the petite coxswain to the eight-woman crew milling nervously about. Eight pairs of hands grabbed the interior skeleton of the sixty-five-foot racing shell.

"Over your heads - UP!" With a quick lunge the lean, brown Albert C. Jacobs was hoisted high.

"To your shoulders, ready DOWN! Easy now. Careful with your riggers . Walk it down slowly." Like eight pallbearers carrying a dead friend, the solemn procession carried the boat to the churning grey water.

The weather was miserable. Neither the rainstorm nor the bitter cold could stop the First National Invitational Women's Regatta in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Fifteen boats would compete over the mile and a third course on the Connecticut River. Flooded with heavy rains, the river whipped and tore, an angry, grey snake twining its wet coils, threatening to swallow each shell. Rain and sleet riddled the competitors, soaking their thin uniforms instantly, pulling th eir already taut muscles even tighter in a cold cramp. On the bank, the spectators huddled like iced dolls, smiling frozen grins of encouragement.

The wina, a polar breath , paralyzed all with its biting chill. But the race went on .

Ready at last, fitted with eight gigantic spoons, the shell was snatched away from the dock and hurled downstream. The current, ripping fast, nearly made rowing unnecessary .

Trembling with cold and nerves, the Trinity College second varsity crew b egan warm-up exercises.

"You can do it! I know you can!" said Robin, our cox. "Look, we'll kill

Participation Key Says Bant's Prexy

By Pete Zenardi The headline above led off the Hartford Times interview article with President Lockwood prior to the exhibition hockey game between the varsity and the alumni. The story is reprinted in full below.

If the opportunity arose, would you put a check on the president of the college you represent? Trinity College's hockey team will be faced with that question Saturday night when it takes on the alumni at the Glastonbury Skating Arena.

The player-coach for the alumni is none other than Trinity President Dr. Theodore Lockwood. And don't think the former Bantam football and squash player isn' t ready.

"I have always had a rather strong conviction to keep physically fit," dec lares Lockwood, still active as a squash player and a mountaineer. .- Fact is, the 1948 Trinity graduate, has some definite ideas about athletics in ge neral and about college athletics in particular - refreshing ideas.

An academic ian of the first order with a Ph.D . from Princeton and four honorary degrees, Lockwood finds honor in words like "sweat."

Lockwood is a strong supporter of college athletics. "It is the kind of activity that can compliment the basic goa ls of a college like Trinity," he declares. "Students need opportunities and challenges on a different level."

The key, he declares, is "participation, affording people the opportunity to play. Our goal is preparing young people. It is not to prepare a student for a career in sports. We are not here to serve as a farm team for professional .. athletics."

Needless to say, that kind of stuff does exist. Stories of recruiting violation s are commonplace.

Success or victory has become more than a cherished goal. It has become the only goal.

Out of control Lockwood admits he is worried about the "professionalism and semiprofess ionalism" in college sports today. 'The very fact that college presidents are taking more of an active role in the NCAA is an indicator that it is getting out of control and is therefore an unhealthy sit uation, " he says.

There is, Lockwood points out "a fascination with athletics, with the temporary glamour of it. Franz Klam-

mer's downhill run in the Olympics is an example. There is a great moment of entertainment there."

But the idea of the whole thing is to help prepare the athlete in hopes he will make a lasting contribution.

"If you really push somebody," Lockwood says, "with the question of who deserves the admiration, the athlete with the moment of glory or the person who makes some lasting contribution, it's usually the latter."

The problem, Lockwood says, "is that we never put the two together. We can't see how participation in athletics can lead to the second. Far too often, those making great contributions don' t have glory moments."

Lockwood's theory is perhaps a good test for all of us involved in athletics; for those of us that see glory only in victory and not in the participation .

Moment of glory Lockwood understands those moments of glory. He was a four-sport athlete at Northwood Prep in Lake Placid, N.Y., playing football, basketball and baseball in addition to being a member of the ski team.

"I had a great opportunity in skiing," he says, "and that was the reason I didn't play hockey. But I was a scholarship studen t and part of my responsibility was as a manager with the hockey team and I sure played a g reat deal of hockey on other levels. " It is perhaps ironic that the coach at Northwood was Jim Fullerton who coached present Trinity varsity mentor John Dunham at Brown University.

And it will not be Lockwood's debut as a hockey coach either. He was an assistant at Trinity-Pawling Prep in 1951 and 1952.

Lockwood, quite simply, has the right to talk about the glory of participation. Words like "swea t" have only positive meanings for him.

He has been where an awful lot of those multitudes of "experts" have not.

He has played the ga me and he is still playing the game.

Dr. Lockwood is ready to take a body check and, more important, ready to give one back.

Writer Pete Zanardi is a staff reporter in the Sports Department of the Hartford Time s . This article zs reprinted with permission.

Merrill Trust Awards Grant For Library Expansion Trinity College has received a grant of $50,000 from the Charles E. Merrill Trust. The grant will be used to assist in the financing of a major building expansion of the Library.

Trinity's library, already one of the largest collections in the country for a small liberal arts institution, currently contains more than 535,000 volumes.

This includes the Watkinson Library, a unique reference collection of volumes on early voyages and travels, folklore, witchcraft and demonology, the Civil War, early American textbooks, and the history of printing.

One purpose of the expansion is to

relocate the Watkinson Library so that the collection will be more accessible to the public. Another is that the total library has more than doubled and the student body has nearly doubled since the library was constructed in 1952.

Total cost of the program is estimated at $2.5 million.

Planned expansion of the library would increase the present square footage by 34,000 square feet, adding seating space, book shelf space, new work space, and additional room for Trinity's special collections. The College estimates that the larger facilities will handle the projected needs of the institution for the next 20 years.

VARSITY BASKETBALL It was a record-breaking year for the varsity cagers as a youthful squad posted the longest winning streak in Trinity basketball history, became the first Trinity basketball team to be selected for a berth in the Eastern College Athletic Conference's Division II-III post-season playoff tournament and had two players who had already broken the 1,000 career points mark active on the same squad.

In the early going the team's prospects had appeared dim. The Bantams came back from the holiday break with a disappointing 1-2 record having dropped decisions to U. Hartford 85-81 and Amherst 75-64, while defeating Wesleyan 77-67. The much needed experience which these first few contests provided combined with Coach Shults' inclusion of the "Carolina Four" offense gave the Bantams a new . . . and formidable look as the team exploded for 12 successive victories, defeating M .I. T. 66-64, Brandeis 80-74, Coast Guard 75-68, Williams 76-60, Middlebury 71-59, Wesleyan 92-85, Amherst 75-64 (20T), Colby 92-85, W.P.I. 75-64, Kings Point 84-68, Bowdoin 87-84 (OT) and Wesleyan 94-84.

SPORTS

Winning streaks must end sooner or later and Trinity's was no exception.

The Bantams' streak ended when they travelled to Schenectady, N.Y. and received a 104-79 drubbing at the hands of Union. The cagers rebounded with a convincing 92-72 win over Queens in preparation for their matchup against the Jumbos of Tufts, ranked seventh in the nation in Division III. The Jumbos humbled the Bantams 111-82 although most of the game was far closer than the final score indicated.

The first half was nip and tuck as Tufts headed into the locker room with a slim 49-43 advantage. With 13:03 left in the final period Trinity had closed to within four at 64-60. During the remainder of the ga~e Trinity was ice-cold from both floor and line and the Bantams hurt themselves with costly turnovers. The Jumbos, shooting 58 percent from the floor, capitalized on their advantage and outscored Trinity by a 47-22 margin in the final 13 minutes.

Returning to Hartford for their final two games of the regular season, the Bantams defeated a well disciplined and scrappy Cadet five as they bested Coast Guard 68-64. In their last scheduled contest the cagers hosted the (Continued on page 12)

SPORTS ROUNDUP University of Hartford Hawks before a partisan Trinity crowd of 2,200 in the Ferris Athletic Center only to sustain a heartbreaking one point loss.

The Hawks led throughout the first half and at times appeared as though they might break the game wide open.

But an emotionally charged Bantam squad continually clipped their opponent's wings and the first half ended wit h the Hawks holding a slim two point 37-35 advantage.

Trinity came mit hustling in the second half, scoring 12 unanswered points with 15:58 left in the game, and held a 59-51 lead with ten minutes to go. Crucial Trinity turnovers caused the Bantams lead to disintegrate with Hartford knotting the score at 63 apiece inside the three minute mark.

With 13 seconds remaining the Hawks wen t ahead by two. Trinity's fate was sea led w ith eight seconds on the clock when Bantam center Brent Cawelti was sadd led with a travelling violation underneath hi s offensive board. Hartford responded with a point from the cha rity stripe and Co-Captain Steve Haydasz's 35-foot desperation jump sho t as the buzzer sou nded left the Bantams one point short at 68-67.

The following weekend, the cagers found th emselv es bound for North Andover, Massachusetts a nd the E.C.A.C. playoffs. Trinit y matched up agains t New England's second ranked Division II squad, bowed to Merrimac k College 96-77. While dis appo inted by the loss, the cagers were proud of th eir selection as a playoff contender and turned in an admirable effo rt against one of th e best shoo ting teams in New England. Merrimack hit o n a blister in g 62 percent of its field goal a ttempts while Trinity turned in a creditable 52 percent performance.

Sop homore guard Arthur Blake had his finest game of the year as he

He also led the team in ass ists with 81 and ended his Trinity career as the fifth high est all time scorer with 1120 points.
