Graduate Scholar Program Begins In August the Graduate Office announced another new program called "The Graduate Scholar Program." The GSP is designed to enhance the professional status of those who already have an M.A. and "want to keep growing intellectually, but not necessarily for academic credit/' according to Graduate Studies Director Ivan Backer. Graduate Scholars will be able to
audit all graduate courses with the instructor's permission. Although the cost is about one-third less than a degree program and there are no mandatory written assignments, all other benefits of a normal degree program are available faculty contact through lectures and consultations, access to the library and class discussions. In addition, there are no time limits and privileges continue as ' long as courses are being audited. The Graduate Office will also keep a permanent record of the courses audited, if desired. I

Matthews . "We came back on them several times, but they pulled steadily away ." A third Trinity first-round victory was seorea b y Michael M ackey and Edward Pardoe who came from behind to win easily by four lengths over their Scottish opponents from Edinburgh University. However, the Bantam coxless pair lost in the second round on Friday when they faced the top-seeded Australian Olympic pair who went on to win the event two days later . "We are proud of their performance," said Coach Norm Graf of the highly competitive Silver Goblets race . "For such an inexperienced crew, they did well to enter the second round." On Thursday, the Bantams' only disappointment came when the coxless four, stroked by freshman Tony Lothrop, fell in the Visitor's Challenge Cup to the favored Balliol College, Oxford, in the opening round. Coach Curtis Jordan commented that the four had "come together as a boat very well, but the luck of the draw pitted them against one of the top crews right off the bat." Despite the eventual fall of three of the Bantam crews, the Trinity oarsmen were winners. During their stay in England, they had gained the admiration and respect of both English and Americans alike. So, as the varsity heavyweight eight went up to accept their gold medals from Princess Alexandra, the crowd clapped and cheered, cameras clicked, and parents looked on proudly. Months of preparation, weeks of expectation, and hours and hours and hours of practice were over . The Bantams had shot for the stars and they had hit them . *

Campus Host To Area Youths The Trinity campus became a modest cultural and athletic mecca for about 500 Hartford area young people this past summer as the College provided facilities and staffing for programs concentrating on the arts, academic preparation and athletics. One of the programs is in its eighth year. The summer sports program primarily for inner-city, disadvantaged youths attracted about 250 Hartford youngsters daily. Trinity has offered the program for seven years and is one of only five colleges in New England to participate in the activity funded in part by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Richard A. Taylor, assistant professor of physical education, once again served as program director for a schedule that included football, track, basketball, swimming, wrestling, gymnastics, tennis, golf, modern dance, soccer, softball and volleyball. Another 100 low-income high school students participated in the fourth annual Upward Bound Program. The program funded by the U.S. Office of Education provides additional preparation for students planning to attend postsecondary institutions. A low student-teacher ratio enabled students to receive the near equivalent of individualized instruction. William D. Guzman directed the program, assisted this summer by Trinity student counselors Prince Riley '77, Earl Gardner '77, Tracey Wilson '77 and Elnora Rowan '78. Neil Stratton '75 coordinated activities in the fine a-rts which e-ulmina-teEl in a 路 talent show at the end of the six-week program. The longest running summer program for area youths was the Summer Arts Program which completed its eighth year. Jointly run by Trinity and the Hartford Parks and Recreation Department, the program this year served more than 150 youngsters aged 10 to 15. Classes were held in pottery, painting,. pantomime, swimming, sculpture, crafts, acting and photography. Directed by Roger Shoemaker, assistant professor of theatre arts, the program concluded with theatrical, art and aquatic presentations.

A grant from the Mellon Foundation has been providing a unique resource for a group of Trinity professors. Called the Mellon Symposium, the program drew this comment from Dr. Mill a Riggio, assistant professor of English, who coordinates the series: "Those of us who share this grant regard it as one of the best in which we have participated. In the present college scene, it provides a really unusual opportunity. Ordinarily, we are asked to teach or write - the private kind of scholarly writing which depends upon a narrowing for the sake of depth and profundity. What the Mellon grant enables us to do - and pays us to do - is to read and to talk with our colleagues in other fields. I have not heard of another grant like it." As Riggio suggests, the purpose of the symposium is to permit a group of scholars from different fields to explore in detail problems that arise in each field but whose solutions have important consequences for other disciplines. The Mellon Symposium for 1976-77 is composed of Dr. Drew Hyland, professor of philosophy; Dr. Frank Kirkpatrick, associate professor of religion; Dr. Sam Kassow, assistant professor of history; Dr. Alan Fink, assistant professor of psychology and Dr. Milia Riggio. The entire group met twice a week during the summer, joined by a visiting theologian from Connecticut College as well as by other members of the Trinity community. The summer symposiums included five units with the first on the French Revolution, Rousseau and Kant with lecture and discussion meetings led by Drs. Hyland and Kassow. The second was on the English Romantic poets with selections of poetry and prose by Wordsworth, Coleridge and Blake led by Dr. Riggio. The third was on Goethe with Drs. Riggio and Fink as discussion leaders. The fourth was on Hegel with Dr. Hyland leading the discussion and the fifth on Dickens' "Hard Times" with Dr. Riggio as leader. This fall the regular bi-weekly meetings will be continued with sessions open to the Trinity community. The authors to be studied will include Marx, Feurbach, Darwin, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Melville, Weber, Wundt, Schweitzer, Barth, Adler and Watson. Each symposiast also will present one public lecture for the Trinity community. In addition, a lecture series featuring well-known scholars in differing fields is scheduled. ADMISSIONS CAMPUS TOURS For visiting parents, here is the new Fall schedule for admissions and campus tours: Group Sessions (No advance notice necessary) : Monday and Friday 10:30 a.m. from October through February.

Winer Appointed Student Dean Dr. David Winer, associate professor of psychology, has been appointed dean of students. As dean, Winer would like to devise ways of "keeping his finger on the student pulse." He would like, for example to establish a student advisory committee to provide students with a reciprocal forum for expressing student body concerns as well as providing the dean with the opportunity for discussing his concerns with student representatives. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Winer wants to become closely involved with the organization of student government and the Mather Campus Center. He sees an opportunity to extend and develop a sense of community on campus and he plans an open door policy for all students who want to see him. Winer will continue to teach on a part-time basis. Joining Trinity as assistant professor of psychology in 1966, Winer was promoted to associate professor in 1971. He was assistant in psychoacoustics at the Shilling Auditory Research Center in Groton, Conn., from 1960 to 1962, research associate for Experimental Psychophysiology Laboratories at the Institute of Living since 1965, a consulting psychologist at the Newington Children's Hospital since 1974 and co-director of the Graduate Program in Neurosciences of the University of Hartford/Trinty College/Institute of Living since 1975.
Biology and Book Funds Established The faculty of the Biology Department has established a fund to honor the distinguished career of J. Wendell Burger, longtime (1936-1975) biology professor at Trinity . When fully endowed, the income from the fund will be used to support lectures, seminars and other activities of the Biology Department. Gifts received so far from faculty, alumni and friends enabled the fund to award for the first time at this past year's Commencement "The J. Wendell Burger Prize in Biology," an award given to a senior biology major considered by the department to have demonstrated the greatest promise in biological arts and sciences. Peter Jay Morin '76 from Bristol, Conn., a promising herpetologist who will pursue the Ph.D . in zoology at Duke University, was named the first recipient. At Durham he has also been awarded the James B. Duke Fellowship . Morin's award is particularly appropriate, since Burger himself worked with amphibians and reptiles. Alumni and friends of Professor Burger may contribute to the fund through the Treasurer of the College or through the chairman of the Biology Department, Dr. Frank Child. The College has also received an endowment gift in memory of Clarence M. Dean, an alumnus of the College and prominent journalist who died in a tragic fire last November. The gift of Frederick W . Hofmann of New York, a longtime friend of Mr. Dean, will establish "The Clarence Dean '33 Book Fund," to be used each year to purchase books in the fields of journalism and creative writings for the Trinity Library. Mr. Dean, a Hartford native, began work with The Hartford Times while

He is the ~uthor of numerous articles for publication in physiological and other professional journals. an undergraduate at Trinity and, following his graduation in 1933, joined The Hartford Times full time, remaining with the paper until 1954. During that period he served as education editor, reporter, rewrite man and feature writer, assistant city editor, and special writer. In 1954 he joined The New York Times as a general assignment reporter, and won eight Publishers Awards from that paper for excellence in writing . In 1969 he became associate director of the American Press Institute, then at Columbia University, to help plan and conduct news seminars for the improvement of daily newspapers in the United States and Canada. He retired in 1969, after suffering a stroke which had incapacitated him. Mr. Dean died November 22, 1975, while trying to save his dog from a fire in his New York City apartment. Mr . Hofmann, now a special writer for the American Insurance Association, New 짜 ork, was a reporter and editor for The Hartford T imes from 1929 through 1954, working with Mr. Dean.
opens September 15, and continues through June 30 . Gifts and pledges may be made anytime during that period. According to President Lockwood, "The Trustees and I are proud of this excellent record of annual support, which has remained consistently strong in recent years. We are grateful that we have been able to meet Trinity's annual needs even as we ask alumni and others for capital gifts. Unlike capital gifts, which strengthen the College for the long term, annual funding is essential to sustain the high quality of the academic program each year, and at the same time to combat the rising costs of private higher education. Trinity's success in balancing its budget every year has been directly related to the growth and strength of Annual Giving . "We have been encouraged by the increased number of interested people who assist Trinity through the Annual Giving program and through the Campaign for Trinity Values," Dr. Lockwood said . "We hope this enthusiasm for Trinity will continue to spread." The $500,000 Annual Giving goal includes a $315,000 goal for The Alumni Fund, a $100,000 goal for The Parents Fund, a $60,000 goal for Business and Industry, and a $25,000 goal for The Friends of Trinity Fund. Thomas C. DePatie '52, an alumnus Trustee, is national chairman of the Alumni Fund. Assisting with that campaign are Peter D . Lowenstein '58, distinguished gifts chairman; Ethan F. Bassford '39, class agent chairman; Siegbert Kaufmann ;46 M .A . '66, masters degree chairman; and a student committee including Steven G. Batson '77, Heidi M . Greene '78, Steven M . Kayman '77, Alexander M . Moorrees '78, and Deborah J. Sikl<el '78 . National chairman of the Parents Fund is Dennis J. Carey, Jr ., of Manhasset, N .Y., father of Robert J. Carey '78 and Gregory C. Carey '79. James H . Torrey, executive vice president and chief investment officer of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, is chairman of the Business and Industry Associates . James B.

Legislative Interns Study Media Reporting "Reporters, Legislators Disagree on News Accuracy" read the headline in the Associated Press article carried by the New Haven Register. "Reporters Fare Poorly In Eyes Of Legislators" said the Hartford Courant. Both papers referred to the results of a six-month study made of the legislature and the news media by members of Trinity's Legislative Internship Program directed by political science professor Clyde D. McKee and coordinated by Donald Romanik '76 and Bruce Wessel'77, both of New Haven. Final results were announced this summer. The in-depth opinion survey was a new kind of research project for the internship program. The study has been productive and rewarding to the students as well as the press and the legislators, who have asked for similar projects on an annual basis. The study itself focuses on the quality of the legislative reporting at the Connecticut General Assembly. Ten students, two faculty assistants and McKee surveyed one-third of the 187 members of the Connecticut Senate and House of Representatives. They also surveyed 16 reporters who normally cover the State Capitol "beat." Responses to the questionnaires provided the major research material for the study. Ten Year Old Program Now an academic fixture at Trinity, the internship program began almost casually ten years ago in response to an urgent telephone call from the Minority Speaker of the House. It seemed that an important project was under-budgeted and under-staffed anCI ilie Speaker wondered if Trinity could just possibly .... After this beginning the program has functioned each year with challenging assignments entering into all phases of state government. The independent study this year on the role of the press reveals wide disagreement, as might be expected, with the media's opinion of itself and its performance higher than that held by the legislators. The main point of agreement was that the key role for the press is to "inform the public generally about legislative activity." Both groups agree that the media has a great influence on the issue of a state income tax, the "sunshine" law, and the laws pertaining to the freedom of the press. Issues on which the legislators and reporters feel the media has little influence included state-local relations, capital punishment, and collective bargaining. Other findings by the internees: Role of the Media All but one of the reporters questioned feel that "interpretation of legislative activity" is an important role of the media but only 43 percent of the legislators agree. Says the report, "This statistic reflects a common recommendation of many legislators that the press should merely report what happens and not try to interpret a situation which they may not fully understand. Legislators know the great impact news reports have on the public and worry that inaccurate interpretation will cause needless outcry. Reporters, on the other hand, view the role of interpretation as a part of their job. The media, they feel, has a responsibility to explain to the public what is actually happening, why it is happening, and what the consequences
of the action being considered will be." Neutrality Somewhat surprisingly, only 31 percent of the reporters consider themselves neutral in their reporting, a figure far higher than the three percent of the legislators who agreed. "Some legislators fear that an individual reporter's own biases may be reflected in his reporting and in the long run this will influence public opinion. These lawmakers recognize the constitutionally guaranteed right of editorial comment but, as one Representative remarked, reporters should be neutral, editorials afford opportunities to be partisan. Few members of the press would argue with such a comment but reporters point out that maintaining complete neutrality is not always easy. Indeed, 38 percent of the reporters admit they have biases just like everyone else. One reporter added, "I have biases, but I keep them out of the newspaper as much as possible." Competitiveness Questions involving competitiveness show a wide divergence of viewpoint. Among the reporters, three-fourths consider themselves either highly competitive or competitive with each other. Only one-third of the legislators, however, would give reporters either of these two ratings for competitiveness. According to the study, "In fact, 28 percent of the legislators surveyed characterized the press as generally non-competitive. The results show that reporters do compete with one another but that a majority of legislators are not aware of this fact of life." Preparedness and Thoroughness ffoTh groups tend- to agree that reporters are generally well-prepared for their job. Lawmakers complain about a lack of in-depth study and thorough coverage of issues before the legislature. Reporters, in turn, place the blame on a shortage of manpower. "I wish we had more time to investigate issues and proposals so that our stories could be more thoughtful," said one reporter. The report notes that "Recognizing these limitations, a majority of both legislators and reporters feel, given present conditions, that thorough coverage is limited to a few issues each session." Accuracy Here, the study touched a tender spot. Says the report, "A question inquiring about the accuracy of reporters polarized the two groups more than any other query. Seventy percent of the reporters said that their reports were accurate most of the time, while only seven percent of the legislators give the news media such high marks . . . . "Still, lawmakers are not overly critical, with only.five percent labelling the media as 'very inaccurate.' One legislator reflected a concern mentioned earlier, 'The problem is not accuracy - rather inadequate scope and depth in covering the issue .' Another said, 'Hopefully, the media could develop complexities rather than simplify the point to absurdity.' " Said one reporter, "The media is in a unique position. If I make a mistake someone 100 years from now may read it. That is a sobering thought and something I try to remember." Problems and Solutions The study says that "In addition to shortages of staff, reporters also feel that editors, who often have little knowledge of the pressing issues at the
legislature . . . lower the quality of the legislative news reports. As one reporter said, 'Editors are as dumb as voters.' "Many legislators are ignorant of the problems reporters have with their editors. For example, an extremely frequent criticism of the press made ... is that the headlines are misleading. Elected officials know that many citizens just scan the headlines when they read the paper and these officials get angry when inaccurate headlines are printed. Reporters could not agree more, but explain that it is out of their hands. Editors write headlines. A reporter also noted that complaints about incomplete or simplistic stories are many times the result of editors shortening articles to fit space requirements. "Legislative reporters feel that they should have access to the same information that is available to legislators .... 'Legislators should admit that the legislative process is largely staged for the media,' stated one reporter. 'They should not make a reporter's task needlessly difficult by being stingy with research reports and other documents.' "Reporters also commented on how their role, their function, and even their competency are often misunderstood by both legislators and the public. One remarked that the media are composed of highly competent, motivated and educated individuals who are cognizant of many things. This reporter further stated, 'I can think of no other profession or craft where the one who practices hangs it all out every day. Working on a deadlme wfiich at best - may oe tWO hours, journalists create a product for their readers. Their mistakes as well as their triumphs are out for the whole world to see.' " When asked how the quality of reporting at the legislature could be improved, some legislators express concern over the media's "inability to understand the political and governmental process on the state level." One legislator suggested that there be a mandatory orientation for capitol newsmen, including individual meetings with newly elected legislators. An influential committee chairman suggested that newspapers, television and radio stations pay higher salaries to attract more knowledgeable and competent reporters. Still other lawmakers are concerned about the way state and local issues are regarded as secondary to national issues and thus are given diminished importance by the media . The legislative interns' study concludes: "Despite the criticism and suggestions, and despite the differences in attitudes on the role of the media and the quality of reporting, there is generally a good working relationship between Connecticut state legislators and the reporters who cover them. The legislators seem to like most reporters and vice versa. What the study shows is that there are areas of difference of opinion, misunderstanding, and lack of cooperation between these two groups. Legislators and reporters, if they are to understand each other's problems, must be aware of each others needs, concerns and goals. Just as the legislature is a unique and complex institution, so are the news media .... each group is dependent on the other . . . . both legislators and reporters must realize that their pri-
mary responsibility is to the public, those people who are affected by what happens to the legislature as well as what is reported in newspapers and on television and radio. In essence, legislators and the media are serving the same constituencies. Both groups thus should have the welfare of the public as their primary concern."
Alumni Fund Wins Award Growing support of the Alumni Fund has ranked Trinity among the top five percent of all colleges and universities in the United States, and earned an Honorable Mention and a cash award of $1,000 to Trinity from the United States Steel Foundation. The record of alumni giving in Trinity's 1974-1975 Alumni Fund earned the Honorable Mention in the "Improved Performance" category of the 1976 Alumni Giving Incentive Awards sponsored nationally by the United States Steel Foundation and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). Details were reported in an editorial headed "Gifts Without Strings Gain" in The Hartford Courant, which is reprinted with permission: The recent award to Trinity College for its improved performance in alumni giving draws attention to the importance of continued support of higher education. Indeed, the purpose of the cosponsors of the 18-year old incentive awards program, U.S. Steel and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), is -to encourage giving by graduates~.Trinity was named a fina list in the nationwide contest because its number of contributors in 1974-75 increased by more than 600 over the previous year. That accomplishment placed the local college "in the top five percent of all colleges and universities in the country," according to Alice L. Beeman, president of CASE. Nationa l chairman of Trinity's Alumni Fund the banner year was Donald /. Viering of Canton, Class of 1942. A total of 3,694 alumni gave $300,154 in unrestricted gifts, the ideal type because they allow administrators the latitude to meet unforeseen needs and to implement new programs. Strings attached to giving, whether to a college or other recipient, can render the gift entirely useless once the original conditions disappear with time or circumstances. Churches share the same frustration when parishioners leave bequests ear-marked for specific purposes, which by the time the person is deceased, may no longer exist. Some scholarships, particularly those given by clubs or special interest groups, sometimes lose their meaning with the passing of time. Altogether, a gift should be just that: Untrammeled, thus useable. Obviously, that message is wellknown among Trinity graduates allowing their alma mater to do with their contributions what administrators decide is for the most good. At the same time, it is hoped alumni will continue to help the college - or university where the giver received his priceless education, aided by the contributions of others . For as everyone should know by now, the admission fee will never cover the cost of quality learnmg.

Carillon Recitals Attract 7,000 It was 8:05 p.m. on Wednesday, August 25. Applause rippled across the Quad as Hudson Ladd, campanologist from the University of Michigan, ended the last carillon recital in the 1976 summer series . Hundreds of people began folding chairs and gathering up blankets and picnic baskets. "We hate to see the summer end," said a woman as she walked by a College official. "Ir means the end of the carillon recitals for another year . We so much enjoyed them." It was obvious that she expressed the sentiment of a great many of the more than 7,000 people who attended the ten recitals in the 27th annual series. Carillonneurs came from across the country and The Netherlands to play Trinity's bells, with music ranging from Bach to Gershwin to Joplin. Those who carne to hear the carillon in July discovered, to their delight, a pre-recital bonus: four chamber music

He enjoys the Reporter and is proud of the progress Trinity has made. The football season will be coming along and you Twenty-Fivers should plan to attend the games . They are lots of fun. DAVE HADLOW, the TONY TRAINERS, the RAY MONTGOMERYS , the KEN SMITHS and the JACK AINLEYS are pretty much regulars . The Class will have a tailgate party at the Bates game, October 2 . Put the date down and plan to make it. We'll meet in the parking area at Vernon and Broad Streets. A recent copy of The Meriden (Connecticut) Record, carried a picture which featured LEO RICCI and Mayor Abraham Grossman looking over the City's 1976-77 budget. Leo, while "retired," is still the busiest guy in the Class of 1925 . He ~oes to his office every day; still has a deep interest in Meriden's welfare as president of the Board of Apportionment; and is deeply involved in the Meriden Hospital as its past president . Betty NOBLE spent a month at Mercer Island, Washington with her daughter and her family this summer, and has just returned from a visit with her son, DICK NOBLE, JR. '58 and his family in Philadelphia. Betty still resides in Milford, Connecticut. It's great to note that DAVE HADLOW's grand-nephew, Bob Plumb, of Trinity's well known Plumb family, has been admitted to Trinity and entered this September. Bob is a graduate of Lawrenceville Academy, Princeton, New Jersey, where he was captain of football, hockey and lacrosse. TED JONES writes that he is now with the State of New Hampshire as a physician in the department of health and welfare, division of mental health, Concord, New Hampshire. He still maintains his lovely old home on Cape Cod. He mentioned in his note that BILL MERCHANTs widow and daughter, Claiborne, visited with the Jones at Cape Cod recently . The Jones spent a month's vacation at Naples, Florida this past February. Also heard from TOM BERGIN (remember him? a fine football player and a great guy) . He writes that he would like to have attended the Immortals Dinner but a last minute change made it impossible. He sends regards to the Class. Another original classmate, CHARLES SISE, wrote that after freshman year he transferred to Harvard, where he had been headed in the first place. He still has a soft spot for Trinity but naturally his interests center around Cambridge. He wants to be remembered to "those who have long enough memories to recall me and my fleeting stay on Trinity's campus." ERWIN COOPER has changed his address to 2595 Kennedy Blvd., Jersey City, New Jersey 07306. He sends regards to all and hopes to get back for the Wesleyan game this year. YOUR SECRETARY and his wife, Olga, spent a happy month in the Oregon and Washington area this summer. Daughter, Joyce, Mt. Holyoke '54, and family live in Portland, Oregon and have a summer home at Wauna Lake, Washington, where we spent most of our time. Great fishing - rainbow trout, large mouth bass, and kokanee, a variety of lake salmon, are plentiful. The Class was saddened to hear of the sudden passing of our classmate, SAM WILCOX . Sam was a delightful fellow and well liked by his classmates. He was a good student, an outstanding football player at
both end and fullback, and, above all, was a gentleman. He will be missed . The Class of 1925 congratulates the 1976 varsity heavyweight crew on its magnificent victory in The Ladies' Challenge Plate at the Henley Royal Regatta, shaving six seconds off the course record .

We of 2T6 are deeply grateful to our great Alma Mater and good President Lockwood for contribut ing so much to making our 50th Reunion this Bicentennial year such a joyous and stellar one. We are deeply honored and grateful to be initiated into that august gathering of notables known as 'The Immortals of Trinity College ."

We want to give special thanks to our fine alumni director, GERALD HANSEN, JR. '51 , and his good staff so ably led by Mrs. Lucy MyshralL Without the great constant help of this wonderful team we would never have had the excellent reunion we gratefully enjoyed. Special thanks also goes to George Chaplin and George DeFord of our outstanding Austin Arts Center, who so beautifully displayed our exhibition that we were grateful we could express . We're deeply grateful that PETIE HOUGH and Janet got down from Nova Scotia to be with us to enrich our reunion as did KEN and Sandra STUER. Speaking of Immortals, as we have been privileged so to do, we extend our deepest congratulations and ask God's eternal blessings on our bride and groom, Mr . and Mrs. KENNETH STUER of Houston, Texas. So happy also to have had the PITCHERS and BURRS with us. On the other side of the coin, we and many Trinitarians have been sorely grieved, to learn of the going-on of our dearly beloved MERRILL B. SHERMAN. To his dear Helen and family we send our deepest sympathy and prayerful love. We are grateful to learn that since the Immortals Dinner, NORM PITCHER is coming along in good order after his illness. Again, we' re grateful for a wonderful 50th reunion, and now let's look and pia~ ahead for a better than ever one in 1981.

It seems that Jim is now a full time resident of Ormond Beach, Florida, having left the lakes and ski areas of New Hampshire bag and baggage. Terry, who has been retired for five years, "five good years," keeps busy "putter" gardening and some traveling. ERIC PURDON in a letter from his feudal estate, Arden, in Harwood, Maryland bemoans the heat and gardening activities . Eric mentions with some trepedation that his wife was persuaded into putting Arden on the local house and garden tour in May '77. Visions of ladder climbing, timber caulking' and painting chores dance in his head. Eric, as usual, h as done some sailing and had hoped to sail to New York for the July 4 operation sail but circumstance dictated otherwise. Younger son, Eric, sailed his Snipe in a Bermuda regatta this spring and had lunch with Trinityite PETER FISH '36. Incidentally, Terry Mowbray also spoke of occasionally seeing Peter who is also a Bermudan. Peter has a close association with '35, having married CLARK VOORHEES' sister. In another letter, JACK AMPORT, recently retired from GE after 40 years and now a resident (y ear round?) of Madison, Connecticut, told of having a visit from the JACK MAHERs . The two Jacks were scheduled to play golf in a Madison Country Club tournament but Jack M. had been temporarily rendered hors-de-combat by an aggressive, errant golf ball slicing (or hooking) onto his elbow . He did however, accompany host Jack and plied him with valuable technical advice and encouragement. Jack A. did not report on how he fared in the tournament (Hmm!). Our deep sympathy to the wife and family of CHARLIE WEBER, whose death was reported in an earlier Reporter.

Mr. Tom Safran 943 1/ z Hilgard A venue Los Angeles, CA 90024
PETER HELLER was in Los Angeles last spring, staying with an old friend of his from New York several blocks away from me in the Westwood section of LA. We got together one night and talked over ice cream at Swensens about what we had been up to the last eight years . After getting his Ph.D . in Economics from Harvard, Peter went to the University of Michigan where he is now an assistant professor. He has been travelling around the world giving advice to developing countries and happened to be in Los Angeles for a public health seminar at UCLA . Peter remains married. While in San Francisco recently, I had dinner with BILL PASTORE and his new wife, Linda Fallon. They both met while working in Washington, D.C.. Bill is back in hospital administration after a stint in real estate. He is the executive director of the French Hospital in San Francisco. AL HICKS wrote that in May he joined Edward Week & Company, a surgical instruments subsidiary of E. R. Squibb, as a product manager trainee. AI is in Long Island City, New York, company headquarters, where he is training toward responsibility for neurosurgical, specialty and closure product lines and ,will ultimately be contacting outstanding surgeons to develop instrument innovations in these areas. Week will be mov ing its headquarters. to Durham, North Carolina next year. Nearby in Chapel Hili, AI recently received his MBA and previously had received a M.A. in American history. A} also wrote that he was "pleased to hear from Captain DONALD BISHOP" who is a History Department faculty member at the U .S. Air Force Academy . Don enclosed a copy of his first professional publication, an article in the Journal of Social Sciences. and Humanities (December, 1975) entitled, Navy Blue in Old Korea: The Asiatic Squadron and the American Legation, 1882-1897. I assure aH that it was a diligent and nicely wrinen effort
worthy of a Sloan protege . . . Al also commented that he "finds Don somewhat less obnoxious at this distance than during our years together at Trin. At least the incessant blare of discordant bagpipes now echoes, mercifully, only down the halls of my youthful memories (mainly Jones and South Campus) and not through thin cinder block walls. " Incidentally Dan's father, Robert Bishop, recently wrote John Mason, who is recovering from an illness, that Don was going on a vacation this past summer in Korea. Speaking of Asia, one of our classmates, DON BROWNE, JR., left London in August for Jakarta, Indonesia, where he will be in charge of the marketing division of Citibank of New York. For those of you having financial problems in that part of the world you can reach Don at P. 0. Box 2463 . In the Moving to California Department, Lt. RIC LUDWIG wrote that he, his wife, Nancee, and son, Eric have plenty of room for visitors in their new home at 7096 Dennison Place in San Diego. Only problem is Ric will be gone until next April. Currently he is in Fighter Squadron 51 flying the F-4 from the aircraft carrier "Roosevelt" somewhere on the East Coast. Then in October he will be leaving for a Mediterranean cruise. When he returns in April he will be transitioning to the F-14 (whatever that is) . Also in the Going (actually "Gone" by the time you read this) to Europe Department is the Reverend EDWARD PREVOST. With his wife, Beverly, and their two year old daughter, Elizabeth, they were in France this past summer, especially Normandy and Pas-de-Calais, where Ed's particular line of Prevosts is traceable back to the 1400's. Their other interests include a vegetable garden and tennis. He also commented that the parish life (St. Paul's in Southington, Connecticut) is "very much alive and continues to be a great opportunity for ministry." BILL WESTs wife, Sandie, wrote a nice long letter from Shaker Heights, Ohio, to help expand our "scraggley" column. Their first child, Andrew Stevens, arrived July 31, 1975, a month early but as Bill commented in a card to the College: "Sandie did the work ." Right up to the day Andrew arrived they were working on their new home and being so unprepared they never got around to birth announcements. According to Sandie, Bill continues. to enjoy his wmk as an Associate with the law firm of Arter & Hadden. As for Sandie, she is scouting around for a new career objective, having given up being a business researcher to have the "little dickens ." They are both very busy as deacons with their Church plus Bill is assistant treasurer and director of Friendly Inn of Cleveland while Sandie has been serving on the Language Bank of Cleveland's emergency phone committee and active with the Junior League. No wonder, as Sandie commented in closing, "free time is so scarce." Both JIM OLIVER and PAUL SCHEINBERG wrote to say that they had bumped into each other last spring aboard the aircraft carrier "USS America" where Jim is flying A-7's. Also in the Armed Forces is JOHN DOMBROSKI who is continuing on active duty in the U.S. Navy with the rank of lieutenant in the Judge Advocate General's Corps. John recently transferred to the Navy-Marine Corps trial judiciary activity, Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Florida for duty as military judge. Would you believe that there is more news but because of space limitations you will have to read our next column to learn about the doings of Messrs. Carlson, Davison, Ebinger, Heckscher, Jenkins, Kurz, Loeb, Sanger and Shapiro. Nevertheless, please keep your cards, letters and telephone calls coming in. Mr. Joseph L. Reinhardt . 1113 Dixon Blvd. Cocoa, FL 32922

September 1976
Bantam Season Outlook Good When the Trinity football Bantams journey to Brunswick, Maine on September 25 to open their season against the Bowdoin Polar Bears, they will be confronting several uncertain situations. The last meeting was in 1957. Such unfamiliarity leads to uncertainty and caution on the part of both teams. The most interesting aspect of the game is that neither teams nor fans will know what situations or final results to expect. There will be no surprises, only plenty of exciting action. The opening game will also be the first test for the two uncertain units on the Trinity team, the offensive line and linebackers. These two units were hit hard by graduation and must be solidly rebuilt if the Bantams are to succeed in 1976. Some talented but inexperienced underclassmen will fill the vacant positions and their ability to overcome the inexperience will be important in carrying Trinity through its tough schedule of New England small college football. Overall, the outlook is favorable for the football team this year. With 11 returning starters among a group of 31 lettermen, Coach Don Miller will field a team possessing good overall depth and experience. The defensive line will be the strongest unit and there will be several experienced players in both the offensive and defensive backfields. The confidence of these experienced players should aid in the rebuilding of the offensive line and linebacker units into cohesive and consistent parts of the team. Senior quarterback John Gillespie will be running the offense for the Bantams. Gillespie saw considerable action last season, appearing in five games and completing 12 of 30 passes for 112 yards. He is a southpaw who likes to throw the ball as much as he likes to run; his style of play will add interest and excitement to the Trinity offensive attack. Gillespie will be backed up by junior Rob Claflin and sophomore Mike Foye, who led last year's frosh team to a 4-1 season. The offensive backfield should be a productive area this year. There are several experienced runners returning who also double as capable pass receivers. Senior tri-captain Pat Heffernan will hold down the fullback position for the third straight year. He led the team in rushing last season with 487 yards in 133 attempts. Competing for the halfback positions will be senior Tony Ciccaglione and juniors Mike Brennan and Larry Moody. In 1975 Brennan rushed for 228 yards on 60 carries; Ciccaglione carried the ball 21 times for 75 yards. The Bantams' best overall depth is in the pass receiver corps. Tom Lines, a three year starter at split end, will be the prime target. This speedster caught 22 passes for 387 yards and one TD in 1975. Lines will be capably backed up at split end by junior Jim Smith and sophomore Bill McCandless. The tight end position will be shared by AI Juliano '77 and Marc Montini '78. Juliano sat out the 1975 season duet~ a pre-season injury; Montini served as the backup tight end in 1975. The offensive line situation is, as mentioned before, a key one. Only senior center Dave Coratti and junior guard Dave Poulin return as starters. Senior Mark Stern and juniors Karl Herbst and John Doldoorian will compete for the two tackle spots. The
remaining guard slot will be filled either by Tom Barker '77 or Toft\ Heffernan '78. A solid offensive line will be a necessary part of an effective offensive team. The defensive front line will undoubtedly be the strongest facet of this year's team. Senior tri-captains Don Grabowski and Rick Uluski solidly anchor the line at the end positions. There is also considerable talent and experience at the defensive tackles in the persons of Gary Zabel '77 and John Griglun '77. A battle for the middle guard spot will take place between junior Scott Coyne and sophomore Barry Dorfman. Trinity's linebacking squad will be composed of players who lack varsity game experience. Juniors Mike Leverone and Brian O'Donaghue along with sophomores Joe Delano, Fred Hearl, and John Flynn are the top candidates for the linebacker positions. The lack of linebacker experience will be an important variable throughout the season. The loss of two starters from the defensive backfield is not as disastrous as it could be, because this defensive unit will have more overall depth and experience in 1976 than it had last year. Returning starters Dave Jancarski, who led the team in 1975 with 61 individual tackles, and Bob O'Leary will be joined by fellow seniors Don Daigneau, Tony Trivella, Dan ladonisi, and Gil Childers in filling the four defensive halfback positions. When Mike Maus graduated in May Trinity lost its entire kicking game.
TRINITY SPORTS Maus did all the punting and kicking chores for the past three years, rewriting many Trinity kicking records in the process. Coach Miller will have a difficult task in finding players to replace Maus. Mike Brennan and Bob O'Leary have limited punting experience and will compete for that job. The . kickoff and place kicking chores will be handled by either Gil Childers or Pete Bielak. The combination of depth and experience in most positions gives the Bantams high hopes for a successful season in 1976. All eight opponents have experienced teams returning, so Trinity is in for some tough competition. Bowdoin is new on the schedule. Bates, Middlebury, Colby and Coast Guard are young and hungry, seeking to end the Trinity domination of recent meetings. Williams, coming off an undefeated season, and Amherst, coming off its worst season in many years, are traditionally tough opponents. The Amherst game excitement will be heightened by the fact that the game will be played before a large Reunion/Homecoming crowd at Jessee Field. The final game will be against a Wesleyan team which has the potential to give Trinity its toughest test this fall. Whatever its final record, the Bantams can be expected to produce eight weekends of exciting college football.
VARSITY FOOTBALL TRI-CAPTAINS Rick Uluski (left), Pat Heffernan (center), and Don Grabowski work with head coach Don Miller in leading the Bantams in preparation for the 1976 season which begins at Bowdoin College on Sept. 25.
New Coach For Varsity Soccer The varisity soccer team enters the 1976 season under the guidance of a new head coach, Robert "Robie" Shults. Shults takes over the coaching reins from Roy Dath, who is on a leave of absence this fall. Dath coached soccer at Trinity for the past 24 years, compiling an impressive record of 135 wins, 71 losses, and 15 ties. Robie Shults has coached the freshman soccer team for 19 years with an overall record of 75 wins, 43 losses, and 6 ties, with undefeated seasons in 1957 and 1962. Shults is also head coach of basketball and baseball at Trinity. Coming off a disappointing 3-7-2 season in 1975, the soccer team looks forward to this fall. The 12-game schedule is a challenging one which opens with Trinity hosting Central Connecticut on September 28. With 11 returning lettermen, the team's experience is well-balanced, spread out over both the offensive and defensive positions. Many talented underclassmen were able to obtain valuable varsity game time in '75. This overall level of experience is a favorable quality for improving the success of Trinity soccer in the next few years. Offensively the Bantams look good; the front line is talented and experienced. Senior co-captain Alexander Harvey and senior Duffy Shea will play the wings. The middle of the forward line will be a group of players with high scoring potential. Senior Mark Moore and juniors Greg Madding and Tom Lenahan will probably be the starters in that group. Controlling the end-to-end action is the job of the halfbacks, and Trinity has a good group of experienced returnees to .. 路 play at the midfield. Senior Rick Sokolov and juniors Gene Ko, Mike Kluger, and Aaron Thomas will be the key performers at this position. The defense will be anchored by senior co-captain Jim McGrath. He will be joined by capable fullbacks John Kendall'77, Bill Dodge '78, and Randy Pearsall '78. Sophomore Jeremy Meyer should also see plenty of game time. Goaltender is a job that appears wide open this fall. The services of the two players who shared the job in 1975 have been lost for the 1976 season; one
has graduated while the other will be spending the fall semester studying in Rome. Three players will be competing for the goalie position. Junior Alec Waugh and sophomore John Rafferty will be joined by incoming freshman Tom Adil in a battle for the starting nod. Trinity soccer plays a demanding schedule, but it is a young team with a lot of talent. If they can put together all the individual talent along with a positive team attitude, the Bantam hooters could produce a satisfying and impressive 1976 season.
Women's Crew Plans Six Races The women's crew has six events scheduled for the 1976 season, including three major regattas. Trinity's women rowers will have less than a month of hard work to prepare for their first race. On September 25 they will host Mount Holyoke College on the Connecticut River. Their only other home contest will be on October 2 when they host Marist College. The women go on the road for the three regattas in which they are entered. On October 9 they travel upstream on the Connecticut River to Holyoke, Massachusetts and the Greater Holyoke Regatta. The next day, October 10, will find the Trinity women participating in the Head of the Connecticut Regatta at Middletown. The Head of the Charles Regatta takes place on October 17 at Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Bantams close their season with a race against the .Kent School on October 23. Trinity women's crew has a new coaching staff this year, headed by Elizabeth Learned '76. She was a coxswain for the men's crew in 1976 as well as a participant in the women's crew program. Learned will be assisted by senior David Greenspan, who coxed the Trinity varsity heavyweight boat to victory in the 1976 Henley Royal Regatta. The women's crew has lost some key members from last year's boatings, but there are many enthusiastic rowers anxious to get out on the water. They should be joined in September by members of the freshman class who become interested in the program.
