LIBRARY COMPUTER CONSORTIUM FORMED

2

The Trinity library has embarked on a new, collaborative effort with the Connecticut College and Wesleyan University libraries to computerize their holdings and some operations.

Trinity librarian Ralph S. Emerick explained that the venture was undertaken because the three colleges and their libraries are similar in size and structure, and all three are eager to make the move to computerization.

When completed, the three colleges' integrated library system will feature an on-line catalog, taking the place of the existing 3x5 cards, and a database management system, computerizing selected operations of library staff in circulation, acquisitions and serials.

As a first step, each department in the library completed a detailed needs assessment to determine which aspects of its work had computer applications.

Next, representatives of the three libraries, with consultant Rod McGee of Chicago, began work on a proposal for the system, which was submitted to five computer manufacturers offering the greatest number of features desired for the library system. The resulting document, produced after an exhaustive collaboration contained more than 1,000 pages.

The review by the computer companies is expected to take several months, with their reports due in February.

Then the three librarians will review the data to decide which system will be used, determine a final cost, and apply for grants, which Emerick thinks will be forthcoming, since the consortia! concept is "fairly new." After a contract is signed in September, several more months will elapse before the arrival of the computer, which will probably be located at Wesleyan.

One of the major attractions of the cooperative approach is the financial savings: the estimated cost of the installation is $1 million, and, by joining with Connecticut College and Wesleyan, Trinity will realize savings of up to one-third the cost of going it alone.

POET ALLAN GINSBERG spent an evening on campus this fall reading his poetry. Other distinguished visitors during the semester included Arthur Schlesinger, Pulitzer-prize-winning author and James Tobin, economist and Nobel laureate.

Savings will also accrue as the system goes into use. Emerick estimates that more than $70,000 is spent each year on maintenance of the card catalog, an expense that will be eliminated by the new system. The time saved in card filing will allow staff more time for public service, he said.

The new system should effect savings in acquisitions as well. Emerick said that the three libraries have been making essentially the same kinds of book purchases for the last ten years or so.

In the future there should be less duplication of infrequently-used materials and increased cooperation in buying.

At the same time each library will be able to concentrate on building its own very specialized or esoteric collections, which users at the other libraries may

then borrow. (In the case of rare books which do not circulate, patrons will still have to come to the library to use them.) Book acquisitions will be entered in the database system as they are made, so each library will know what the others are buying.

Increased use of rare books and special collections, such as the Enders and others in the Watkinson library, should also get more use under the new integrated library system, as library patrons learn more of what is available.

Emerick thinks that Trinity's extensive government documents collection will also be used to greater advantage, noting that up until now it has been used primarily by economics, history and sociology students. But, when these holdings are displayed with other items in

Along the Walk Along the Walk Along the Walk Along the Walk

the database system, the documents collection will get more attention. Students doing independent study will be particularly helped, he notes.

When the system is installed, some two years from now, there will be 35 terminals in the library. Moreover, those users who have personal computers on campus will be able to access the system directly. With on-line cataloging, there will be as many as 25 different ways to find a book, through categories and general headings, rather than by title or author only. Currently, the library's On-Line Computer Library Center can perform searchonly services.

The new system will be "user friendly," Emerick says, and will try to find a book even if the user has misspelled a word in the title. There will be a "menu" displayed on the terminal screen which will give the user instructions, and the Wesleyan and Connecticut College databases will be flashed on the screen after the Trinity holdings.

Estimating that January, 1986 is a target date for the operation to begin on the campuses, Emerick notes that one or two years will be needed to enter all of the database into the computer, dependent partly on how many indices and access points are requested of the system. Emerick says that Trinity has been converting the library's shelf list into machine readable form for several years, and therefore has a head start in the computerization process.

COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJOR APPROVED An academic major in computer science has been approved by the faculty and trustees and will be available to students next fall. A multi-disciplinary major, with a strong liberal arts component, it will be administratively based in the engineering department, which will henceforth be the department of engineering and computer science. An additional faculty position in the department, to be filled by a specialist in computer science, has also been authorized.

Deliberations about a computer science major began in 1981 and culminated in a joint study by the faculty curriculum and educational policy committees which issued a detailed report this fall. Among the principal questions that the joint committee addressed was whether such a major was appropriate at an educational institution committed to the liberal arts. " 'Computer science' can be little more than a fancy name for majors in computer programming or data processing - examples of the 'higher skilling' which Trinity rightly shuns," thereport notes. "Because such programs ignore underlying theoretical issues and require only minimal competence in mathematics, they have no place in the liberal arts curriculum." However, in recommending that a computer science major be established, the committee members expressed confidence that the curriculum they proposed was firmly grounded in the liberal arts.

Students majoring in computer science will be required to take five courses in engineering and computer science, seven courses in mathematics, and three electives, to be chosen from such fields as philosophy, psychology and physics. The College will encourage and support the development of additional electives by other academic departments.

Trinity will continue to offer a major in computer coordinate, which is designed for students who wish to combine an interest in computers with study in another field. About 40 members of the senior class will complete a computer coordinate major this year.

Computer facilities at Trinity were substantially improved when the College completed a half-million-dollar renovation of the Hallden Engineering Building last year. There are now about fifty terminals in Hallden, and another twenty elsewhere on campus. Recently the College purchased a second VAX 11/750; the two V AXs and a PDP 1134 are used for academic computing.

Another new addition to the computer facilities is a laser printer, which was installed last summer.

NORTON, COFFIN WIN SGA ELECTIONS Running on a platform of experience and the need for reform in the Student Government Association structure, Stephen J. Norton, a senior from West Hartford, CT, was elected president of the SGA this fall. His running mate, Lee A. Coffin of Shelton, CT, was elected vice president.

During his undergraduate career, Norton has been a dorm representative, junior class representative, budget chairman, elections chairman, summer chair and at-large representative for the SGA, and served on the college affairs and constitutions committees. A political science major, he has also been a member of concert choir and the World Affairs Association, class agent, and done news and commentary for WRTC. He has completed a legislative internship and an internship with United Technologies Corp. A vice president of the West Hartford Young Democrats, Norton served on the state steering board for the John Glenn campaign and was Mondale-Ferraro district coordinator in West Hartford.

A senior history major, Coffin has served as secretary and president pro tern of SGA and done news for WRTC. He completed a legislative internship and earned a place on the faculty honors list in his sophomore year.

Last year he became managing editor of The Trinity Observer, the conservative student newspaper, and he continues in that post this year. He has also been a member of Cerberus, the campus service organization.

DAY CARE CENTER OPENS NEXT YEAR A child care center designed to accommodate sixty pre-school children is scheduled to open on the Trinity campus in the summer of 1985. The facility will operate year round and will be located in presently unused space in the Albert C. Jacobs Life Sciences Center.

Consideration of the day care issue began at Trinity about two years ago,

when the President's Special Council on Women, a group concerned with matters affecting women on campus, undertook a systematic study of the need for child care in Hartford. They found that the need was acute: there are more than 10,000 pre-school children in Hartford and only about 1200 day care slots. Most local centers are oversubscribed, and schools and community groups were unanimous in their support for a center at Trinity.

College employees and older students, particularly students in the Individualized Degree Program, also expressed interest in on-campus day care. Members of the psychology department, especially specialists in child development and social psychology, were eager to lend their expertise to the effort.

Thus, the center will address a pressing community need, as well as provide an attractive benefit for staff and students.

The day care center will be administered by a non-profit corporation, the Trinity College Community Care Center, and will include on its board of directors members of the Hartford community as well as employees of the College. The majority of the children using the Center will have no Trinity affiliation, and thirty percent of the slots will be subsidized for families with financial need.

A $125,000 grant from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving will finance most of the costs of renovation; Trinity will contribute another $25,000. The College has absorbed development costs and will make a substantial interest-free loan to the corporation to help with start-up costs.

The Center will be run by a full-time director and a professional staff. It is expected to become a self-sustaining operation.

fraternity on campus. Delta Kappa Epsilon, which has had women members since the College went coeducational in 1969, is the other.

John N. Fiske '85, president of St. Anthony Hall, said the change occurred because fraternity members felt it was "no longer justifiable" to remain all-male. The decision was made for "an ethical reason," he added, and had been talked about in the fraternity for "at least ten years." Fiske went on to say that the vote was not motivated by direct pressure from the College, but he did not discount the impact of the 1982 trustees' decision encouraging coeducation in campus organizations.

Likewise, the fraternity at Trinity had not felt pressure to go coed from its national organization. "Our national wants what is best for us," said Delta Psi brother SamuelS. Reid '85.

Nationally, there are eight other chapters of Delta Psi. Five of them are coed (Yale, Columbia, Brown, MIT and the University of North Carolina-Chapel

Hill), and three are all-male (the Universities of Virginia, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania). The national organization has been coed since the early 1970s. At Trinity, the Hall members have been allowed to invite females to belong to the Eating Club which has provided their food service for the past 9 years. Reid said that there is already a "good diversity" within the fraternity at Trinity, and that it was "to the Hall's benefit" to go coeducational.

Trinity President James F. English, Jr. also felt that the move will be favorable for the College, while probably being good for St. Anthony Hall, as well. "It's a good development and in accord with the stated preference of the trustees that we move in the direction of more equal opportunity for women," English said.

As to how many women will be admitted after the January rush, Fiske could offer no guesses. "We don't have any quotas," he said, adding, "we will

His fraternity brother, Reid, agreed that it was impossible to know how many women, or men, would be admitted after the January rush, noting that the prime requisites for new members are that "they have an interest in the place," and get along with the other members.

Reid said that the Hall had recently gained tax-exempt approval and become very organized in its financial op路 eration. He added that several new programs were being considered, such as lectures, establishment of a professorial chair and a scholarship fund for students, with the final goal of making the fraternity "more of an asset for Trinity College."

In other fraternity-related news, Chi Alpha Theta, a local coed fraternity with no national ties, was established on campus this fall by a group of 20 women. According to Wayne Gorlick-

Asmus, director of Mather Campus Center and advisor of student affairs, the group has applied for recognition and he has recommended to the Dean of Students that they be recognized.

Tracy L. Morgan '87, president of the new organization, says that Chi Alpha Theta was started as an alternative to the existing fraternities and sororities at Trinity. She hopes that Chi Alpha Theta will become involved in the H anford community, such as at the Newington Children's Hospital, and in more social interaction with the College.

COLLEGES FORM RECRUITING GROUP Trinity and four other highly selective colleges have formed a "recruiting consortium" for the purpose of arranging interviews for outstanding seniors

with top New York companies over the semester break.

The consortium approach differs from the traditional method used by employers to recruit college seniors in that the interviews occur earlier most corporations visit campuses during the spring - and because the students visit the employers, rather than the other way around. In addition, corporations are able to pre-select the students they will see, based on resumes submitted to the companies about a month in advance. Each potential employer can choose 2 or 3 students from each school to interview.

The other members of the recruiting consortium are: Middlebury College, Tufts University, Stanford University, and Connecticut College. There are nineteen employers participating, representing the fields of advertising, public relations, commercial and investment banking, retailing, and economic research.

The interviews will take place January 3 and 4 at the offices of Bankers Trust in Manhattan. Scott Reynolds '63, senior vice president of Bankers Trust, has arranged for the bank to provide 18 offices for each of the two days.

Allison Dillon-Kimmerle, director of career counseling at Trinity, cites several advantages of the consortium for both the colleges and the corporations.

"It's a way for the schools to make contact with recruiters who don't normally come to all our campuses, and to demonstrate that we have the kind of prospective employees they are looking for. The corporations will have the chance to interview some of our very best students early, during an intensive, two-day period, at very little expense."

Dillion-Kimmerle characterizes the program as "a special opportunity for outstanding students who are willing to 'get off the mark' early with regard to their career planning." She does not expect the recruiting consortium to either replace or erode traditional campus recruiting. Last year, about 62 companies visited the Trinity campus.

HABERLANDT GETS MAJOR GRANT

6

Dr. Karl Haberlandt, professor of psychology, has been awarded a $95,000 grant by the National Science Foundation for research on reading comprehension.

The grant, which will be used over a two-year period, will support investigation of certain cognitive processes assumed to occur during reading. This research, which involves examination of the different levels at which reading comprehension takes place (e.g., the word, sentence and text levels), is considered important for the development of theories of reading. The absence of adequate reading theories is thought to impede reading instruction at both the beginning and remedial levels.

This is the fourth grant that Haberlandt has received from the National Science Foundation during his career.

In 1981, he was awarded a $56,000 research grant for the study of "schemata" in simple stories, and that same year, he won a $23,000 grant which supported his research at CarnegieMellon University in Pittsburgh.

In 1977, an NSF equipment grant allowed Haberlandt to purchase a computer for use in his work. He has also received research support from Trinity College.

A cognitive psychologist and a native of Germany, Haberlandt has been a member of the Trinity faculty since 1968. He holds an undergraduate degree from the Freie Universitat in West Berlin and a doctorate from Yale University.

Haberlandt is the author of numerous papers and articles on topics in cognitive psychology, particularly the reading process.

ITALY HONORS MICHAEL CAMPO Dr. Michael R. Campo, professor of modern languages, has been awarded the title of Commendatore of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Italy.

MEDAL AND TITLE of Commendatore of the Order of Merit were bestowed on Michael Campo (r.) by Guilio deLorenzo, Italian Counsul General on behalf of the Italian government.

The title, which is the highest honor bestowed by the Itali an government, was given to Campo in recognition of his efforts to spread Italian language and culture in the United States, and for his role in returning to the Italian government important documents from the Fascist period. These documents, which had been given to the Barbieri Foundation at Trinity College by a World War II veteran, were returned to the Italian government in 1982.

The ceremony of conferral of the title was held at the headquarters of the Consulate General of Italy in New York on October 5. Along with the title of nobility, Campo received a medal inscribed with an ivory cross and the crown.

The award dates back to 1820, when King Carlo Alberto of Piedmont stated, "All civilized nations, both an-

cient and modern, have always felt the need to reward people that have rendered special services to the state.

These rewards have been bestowed on worthy people, not to pay them back, but to stimulate others to compete for honors by performing more and more commendable deeds for the community."

Professor Campo, who has taught at Trinity College since 1952, is former chairman of the department of modern languages and the founder of the Barbieri Center, Trinity's campus in Rome, Italy. He is founder of the journal, the Barbieri Courier, and oversees a continuing program of Italian cultural events on the Trinity campus. Campo also directs the Trinity Elder hostel programs in Rome, Perugia and Verona.

Trinity is the first educational institution to offer Elderhostel programs in Italy.

DEBATING THE CURRICULUM

T

he question of curricular revision is sparking animated debate this fall in the wake of a report by a summer planning group which has proposed major changes in Trinity's approach to undergraduate education.

Since 1968, Trinity has offered its students an "open curriculum" requiring no specific courses outside the major. In recent years, many colleges and universities have reinstituted general education or distribution requirements, but Trinity has thus far resisted the trend. In 1983, however, a faculty committee issued a major planning report on the College's academic strategies for the 1980s. Known as "Project I," the report recommended, among other things, that the faculty reexamine the curriculum with the intention of providing "some curricular modifications and innovations which capture many of the benefits of general education programs while preserving the students' basic freedom of choice." As a result, a faculty planning group was established over the summer of 1984 to develop specific recommendations for curricular revision.

Their charge included: developing a program for non-major requirements, devising a detailed plan for promoting writing and mathematical proficiency, considering whether a foreign language should be requ ired, and deciding whether Trinity should retain its current level of 36 course credits for graduation, which is higher than that at many liberal arts colleges.

The group's recommendations, released to the faculty in October, are currently being debated in a series of open campus meetings. These proposals, or an amended version, will be voted on by the entire faculty some time this spring. The plan will then go to the board of trustees

for fina l review of its educational and financia l implications.

The major proposals are: General Course Distribution All students would be required to complete one course in the arts and two courses each in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences.

Recognizing the need for breadth in a liberal arts education, the planning group "believes the time has come for the facu lty once again to insist that every student do work in all the 'divisions' of the curriculum ."

Unlike previous general education requirements, however, the new proposal allows undergraduates to choose among a large array of eligib le courses, and thus does not unduly restrict freedom of choice.

Cluster Requirements Students would be required to complete three faculty-designed "clusters," of three courses each; each cluster to be organized around a theme or other unifying principle and to include courses from at least two departments.

The cluster concept is designed to provide coherence in students' course of study. The committee argues that students need not only an appreciation of the diversity of knowledge, but also its interrelatedness.

It should be noted that students would be allowed to count any particular course toward the fulfillment of several requirements; e.g., a course cou ld fill both a distribution and a cluster requirement, or' a major requirement and a cluster requirement.

Writing Proficiency Every entering student would be required to take a writing proficiency examination; those found deficient would complete a non-credit, remedial course. Moreover, a substantial writing component would

be included in at least one course of every cluster to ensure that writing is a significant part of every student's general education. Writing workshops would be held periodically to assist faculty members in offering students constructive criticism of their prose. Finally, every graduate would complete one course dealing expressly with the nature and structure of language, to be chosen from courses in foreign languages, linguistics, literary writing and related fields.

Mathematical Proficiency Every entering student would be requ ired to take a proficiency exam in mathematics and those students found deficient assigned to a noncredit, remedial course . All degree cand idates would be required to complete satisfactorily one course that deals with the non-verbal skills of quantitative reasoning such as logic, econometrics, computing and mathematics . The committee also recommends establishment of a fulltime Mathematics Center on the model of the existing Writing Center.

There was little enthusiasm for returning to an earlier era when Trinity required all freshmen to take a year of mathematics through calculus. But there was general agreement that given the prominence of quantitative techniques in an increasingly technological society, a general mathematical reasoning requirement was advisable.

Foreign Language Proficiency A s for foreign language, the p lanning group believes that while such study can enhance the education of many students, when it comes to requirements, a course dealing with the nature and structure of language has greater promise of conferring benefits across the student body than Continued on page 8

DEBATING THE CURRICULUM does a conventional foreign language mandate.

Credits Required for the Degree Credits for graduation would be reduced from 36 to 34 under the new proposal, with 32 of these credits to be earned through traditional academic study. The remaining two credits would be earned through other opportunities such as concert choir, physical education, internships, etc. This would reduce the

Books VILLA APHRODITE

By Thomas Baird St. Martin's Press; 297 pp.; $14.95

Reviewed by Jordon Pecile A poem, Wallace Stevens wisely said, should resist the intelligence almost successfully. Something like that ought to be said about the city of Florence, Italy -surely one of the most poetic cities in creation, and one of the most inscrutable. We who get to pass through the city as tourists in three days or three weeks never see anything of the reality of Florence. It resists us most successfully. But behind those massive stone fronts of the magnificent Renaissance palaces and villas, a venerable society endures: people burdened with the civilization of the Renaissance yet resilient, feisty, fecund, arrogant and unkind.

The true Florentines.- spiritual heirs, after all, of Dante and Machiavelli have built up, over the centuries, a barrier of masks and manners to survive the hordes of foreigners who assault their city in all seasons. To penetrate thatbarrier, to observe and describe the web of social life concealed from most sojourners by the stones of Florence, has tempted many an American writer, beginning with Mark Twain, H enry James, and Edith Wharton, and continuing today with Mary McCarthy, Elizabeth Spenser, and now, Trinity

It is expected that several more open discussions of these proposals will occur before the Curriculum Committee drafts a final plan for faculty vote. It should also be noted that current undergraduates would

College professor Thomas Baird.

Baird is an art historian who specializes in the Renaissance. For half of every academic year, he teaches; on his semester off, he writes. Reading "Villa Aphrodite," his twelfth and best novel, one is tempted to say that though Baird does in fact live in the west end of Hartford, he is, in fiction, most at home in Florence.

He has succeeded in writing that most elusive thing, the thoroughly informed novel ofT uscan manners, wherein rigid adherence to a code of decorous behavior is seen to disguise ancient Tuscan intrigues and ambiguities.

"Villa Aphrodite" is what the Tuscans call the sumptuous Villa Arberoni, now in the hands of the rich widow Signora Benassi. Rich, but not rich enough . That gentlewoman, in order to meet the rising costs of servants and gardeners, as well as to provide herself and her aging lover, the Marchese dei Guidone, with amusement at mealtimes, has turned part of her home into a pensione. The guests, of course, are selected with care: "No salesmen, no sociologists, no bores."

At present, round the Signora's grand dining room table sit a connoisseur of old drawings who is as devious in mind as he is crippled in body; a pompous art historian and the wife he deserves; a moderately talented concert pianist; and an American adventurer - Mark Stapleton, a good-looking ex-gymnast on the Grand Tour of Italy but more eager to experience the varieties of Italian

This schedule would not only allow adequate time to plan the implementation, but also honors the traditional principle that students are entitled to complete their degrees under the curricular arrangements in force at the time of their recruitment to the College.

women than to study the styles of Italian muralists.

On one level, the novel is about Mark Stapleton's coming of age in Italy, his experiences with sex and love and art and intrigue, but "Villa Aphrodite" is no easy reworking of the familiar theme of American innocence abroad. Rather, it is an ironic examination of that theme in our time: in this novel, the Americans are at least as corrupt as the Italians and a lot less attractive about it.

On another level, the novel is a tour de force for art lovers. The main plot centers on the accidental discovery of an unknown drawing by Raphael, the design of an unexecuted fresco meant originally for one of the walls of the papal apartments in the Vatican. Readers who have forgotten their Vasari may want to go back to his "Life of Raphael" to see how beautifully Baird has interpolated new biographical material into the old master's work. The use ofVasari is typical of Baird's careful craftsmanship, his deceptive style. He has created a novel which is a comedy of manners at the same time that it is a page-turner of a mystery, at the same time that it is a guide book for art lovers and lovers of Florence who never get to see what goes on behind the forbidding facades of the public buildings and private dwellings.

It's a novel that resists the intelligence almost successfully.

Trinity's Shield of Victory A gifted quarterback wraps up four record-breaking years.

W

ith a single clap in unison, twenty-two hands signal the end of the huddle. Ten players jog to their places in the formation; the eleventh walks slowly, favoring one foot. He looks over the defense, analyzing the zone coverage, while snapping his chin strap. It is third down and ten yards are needed to keep the drive alive. He calls the signals and drops back to pass. Sensing pressure, he rolls to his right, buying time. The defense has eight men in pass coverage, but he spots a receiver open for a second. He fires the ball in a tight spiral to the only place the ball can

be caught and not intercepted. Complete. Thirteen yards. First down. Trinity scores on the drive and never looks back.

There's been a lot of that in the last four years for Joe Shield. The latest and probably greatest in a long line of talented quarterbacks from the Hilltop, Joe has carried on the tradition of the Bantam Air Attack that includes predecessors Ludorf, Alexander, Reo pel, Rissell, Bernardoni, Wiezenthal, Faye, and Martin. In fact, he has taken that tradition to new heights. The name Shield has expunged virtually all previous ones

in the Trinity record book. And he hasn't just broken the records, he's destroyed them, setting them at levels, it is safe to say, no future Bantam will touch. He's been the leader heads turn to in the huddle since the second quarter of the second game in his freshman year. Head coach Don Miller, a veteran of eighteen years and not one given to hyperbole, says simply, "No one person has had as much impact on the program since I've been here. He's a once-in-a-lifetime quarterback for me as a coach."

As great a passer as he is today, it is hard to believe that he ran a ball control offense at Brattleboro High School, throwing the ball "maybe five times a game my senior year when we aired it out." Indeed, at that time he had not come to the attention of Coach Miller. To help prepare for college football and academics, Joe went to Worcester Academy for a year where he "learned the basic mechanics and fundamentals." Joe explains how he heard of Trinity and made the fateful decision: "There were three teachers at Worcester who had gone to Trinity. They got me to look at the school and it only took one look. This quickly became my number one choice."

After rejecting Division I-AA Yankee Conference schools, Joe expected a freshman year of learning at Trinity from Coach Miller and senior quarterback Peter Martin. Everything changed ten minutes into the season. Martin's jaw was broken, the season seemingly shattered. Midway through the next week's game, the job was Shield's for good, a freshman thrust into the spotlight. "I was nervous," Joe admits, "because each team was a new experience and I didn't know what to expect. Luckily, we had a great line and defense and Coach Miller instilled confidence in me." The coach confesses to being nervous too for a while, but Joe put an end to that. "I thought he was the top athlete of his class but I was uneasy for a month. Joe responded to the challenge very well and then I could relax."

The rest, as they say, is history: four winning seasons, records passed and re-passed, wonderful memories of scrambles and long bombs soaring through the crisp autumn air, a pair of weekly Golden Helmet awards and the 1983 Golden Helmet (as top New England Division II-III player).

After such success, how does he stay psyched? What does he think about in terms of goals? Modestly, Joe says, "There's always something to work on. I'm never satisfied." Joe worked with weights over the summer realizing there would be pressure to match his superb junior year. It's not the numbers on the stat sheets that he thinks about, however, it's strategies and passing patterns. "Y 01J forget what you did last week and things fall into place. The numbers are a reflection of how the team is doing. Some great blocks make a screen pass look like a fifty-yard pass."

As for those numbers, they speak for themselves (see accompanying boxes). For season records, he increased pass attempts from 209 to 264, pass completions from 129 to 163, passing yards from 1498 to 2186 and touchdown passes from 17 to 19. The career marks are even farther out of reach. Pass attempts went from 506 to 845, pass completions from 315 to 476, passing yards from 3574 to 6646 and touchdown passes from 27 to 52. The previous records in those four categories lasted fifteen years, having been set by Jay Bernardoni from 1967 through 1969. Shield's success prompted no regrets for Bernardoni, who still holds the marks for the most completions and attempts in a game, the best completion percentage in a game, year and career, and for most consecutive completions. "That's what records are for," says the Illinois resident, "to be broken." Down playing the statistics, Bernardoni says his memories are "the people I played with." Shield, too, doesn't dwell on the records he leaves behind. His personal highlight is not any of the long bombs or record-breakers, but his first

touchdown pass. It was a twenty-six yarder to Bill Holden on Parent's Weekend, 1981. "I was never so nervous as before that game," Joe admits now.

There is a close relationship between the coach, a former Little-All-American quarterback, and his star pupil. They give each other the credit. Coach Miller may be the Offensive Coordinator but Joe calls him "the 'Offensive Wizard.' You know exactly what to expect and how to attack it and you know it's going to work." Coach Miller notes Joe has it all: a great arm, size, speed, the heart and the head and "self-confidence and poise to go along with the physical aspects.

Somehow he gets you in the end zone."

His teammates feel the same way. Down 10-3 after three periods at Williams this year, Joe says, "Nobody panicked. We were confident and stuck with the game plan." The coach says, "He's a guy everyone rallies around because he's held in such esteem while he's just being himself. He's not a rah-rah guy but a leader because everyone knows he'll get the job done for us.

He stimulates a feeling of unselfishness."

When asked to perform self-analysis and explain his success, Joe ignores his obvious physical skills and recalls his childhood: "I was always throwing something - a baseball or a football. Even without anyone around, I'd aim at a clump of grass; I couldn't get enough of it."

Joe's success isn't going unnoticed. Pro scouts from three leagues have contacted him and the coaching staff and can often be found eyeing him at practice and on game day. Of this possible future, Joe says, "If I get the shot, I won't pass it by." As to which league he might prefer, Joe claims "It's too early to think about it because I don't know what they think of me." Joe believes he "couldn't have improved any more at a Division I school" and that it's to his advantage that

"our offense is so sophisticated." He might have made a bigger name for himself in a Division I football program but says Trinity "has given me a chance to keep academics and athletics in perspective. I wouldn't want to do it any way but NESCAC." (Trinity is a member of the eleven-school New England Small College Athletic Conference which places restrictions on scheduling, practices and recruiting.) As to whether Joe will be playing football in 1985, Coach Miller sounds cbnfident. "He's got the tools to do it. His real strength is the ability to throw on the run. He'll get a tryout." Informed Trinity insiders project Joe as a middle-round NFL draft choice.

With all the publicity in the local papers and television, it would be easy for the hype to rush to a young man's head, requiring a larger helmet. He may play the glamour position and is often the hero, but when he walks along the Long Walk, he walks with his peers, not above them. That's because this quarterback Joe isn't a "Broadway Joe," or even a "Broad Street Joe." He even scoffs at the sound of "Brattleboro Bomber." Coach Miller calls him "a low-key, humble guy; the kind of boy any family would be proud to have as a son."

An English major who hopes to someday get a master's degree while coaching, Joe will co-captain the baseball team next spring. A powerful hitting centerfielder-third baseman, Joe isn't a pitcher, even with his strong arm. "My fastball is like my passes - fast but straight." That's fine for football, but not on the mound. Comparing the two sports, Joe says, "Baseball is enjoyable, I play all summer, but I get a lot of satisfaction out of winning in football due to my position."

So do Trinity fans. • David G. Nagle '83 is sports informat ion director at Trinity.

Dismantli~

White Supremacy

Reverse discrimination is a legitimate instrument of social policy.

by Maurice L. Wade et's begin with social reality. The ancestors of most black Americans living today were brought to this country as slaves, treated like cattle, and lived out their lives in bondage. As the personal property of whites, blacks prior to the Civil War were not recognized as people, and so had neither legal powers nor legal claims on their bodies or their labor. Indeed, an early pronouncement of the Supreme Court referred to blacks as "beings of an inferior order, ... and so far inferior that they had no rights that the white man was bound to respect." Before 1860, the reigning ideology with respect to race was that of white supremacy and the institutional embodiment of that ideology was slavery. Even after the Civil War the ideology of white supremacy remained dominant. But, with the abolition of slavery, its embodiment took on new form in the shape of segregationist institutions and Jim Crow

L

laws, which even today have not been fully purged from all parts of American society.

Some might argue that the social reality I describe is a thing of the past. Look at the civil rights movement and its clear successes. Though some vestiges of Jim Crow and segregation remain, such laws and institutions have been eradicated for the most part and mechanisms have been put in place to prevent their revival. Equality of opportunity is official government policy at all levels, federal, state, and local. Blacks today occupy positions which were previously open only to whites.

Despite these changes, however, we still cannot say that white supremacy is dead. It may be dead as official governmental policy, and in most parts of the country it is political suicide to advocate racial supremacy of any form. Nonetheless, much of the reality 13

''Slavery, segregation, and ]im Crow were means by which power, authority, and other goods were con- . centrated in the hands of whites.''

14

of white supremacy lives on even now. Slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow were means by which power, authority, and other goods were concentrated in the hands of whites. Though these institutions are no longer on the scene, the concentration of power, authority, and goods in the hands of whites remain intact. There are some notable exceptions, of course, and we should not fail to recognize them. Nor should we fail to recognize that these exceptions are just that, they are exceptions. The exclusion of blacks from political and economic power has not been undone; it remains virtually complete. Even today the number of blacks in positions of authority in our most important political, economic, and educational institutions is miniscule. The effects of slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow live on.

I am not a social scientist, so I am not prepared to overwhelm you with statistics to support my claims.

But I will note a few facts which seem to me especially telling. First, contrary to what is commonly believed, the income gap between whites and minorities has been increasing rather than decreasing. In fact, while real incomes for whites have been rising, minority real incomes have been declining since 1973. Second, in 1959 the percentage of minorities below the poverty level was three times the percentage of whites below the poverty level. In 1977 this was still the case. I hazard to guess that matters have improved little and may have worsened. Third, the most desirable occupations tend to be held by whites to a far greater degree than by blacks while the situation is just the reverse for the less desirable occupations. This disparity is not a matter that can be explained by differences in educational levels. In 1977, for example, a white head of household with one to three years of high school earned more than a black head of household with one to three years of college. In the population of the U.S. as a whole, 3 out of 7 employees hold white collar positions but only 1 out of 7 black workers holds such positions. Quite apart from these facts one need only tour the neighborhoods, the unemployment offices, the soup kitchens, and the penal institutions to see that the legacy of white supremacy is still with us. That is the social reality.

In stark contrast to this actuality stand the stated ideals of American society, ideals such as equality of opportunity and equality of political rights and obliga-

tions. Such ideals are stated in the nation's constitution and publicly touted by Americans of all social classes. The distance of social reality from these ideals has surely diminished since the days of slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow, but even today the gap is sufficiently large to be intolerable to those who suffer its effects and to those who recognize the inherent worth of persons. For the vast majority of black Americans, these ideals remain unrealized and empty.

It is precisely for this reason that I defend reverse discrimination as a morally desirable means of closing the gap between American social reality and social ideals. The term discrimination, however, is charged with extremely negative connotations in contemporary social debate. It is upon these connotations that the argument against reverse discrimination hinges.

That argument is a very simple one: discrimination is morally impermissible. Reverse discrimination is a form of discrimination. Therefore reverse discrimination is morally impermissible.

The premise upon which the argument stands or falls is the claim that discrimination is morally impermissible. To discriminate is simply to differentiate or distinguish. As such it is neither intrinsically good nor intrinsically evil. Discriminatory acts are simply those acts which treat persons differently. Since we cannot avoid treating persons differently, it cannot be the case that all discrimination is morally impermissible.

Indeed, many discriminations are without moral significance altogether. Acts of discrimination become morally significant only when they affect someone's welfare, that is, when they harm or benefit an individual.

It is clear that slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow were essentially forms of discrimination which benefitted whites and harmed blacks. In my view, however, the evil of these practices consisted not in the fact that they dispensed significant harms and benefits on the basis of race, but in the fact that they were the institutional embodiment of white supremacy - the systematic and unjust concentration of power, authority, and goods in the hands of whites. I cannot state that every possible distribution of political rights and obligations, social benefits and burdens, or economic costs and benefits on the basis of race is morally evil. I do not believe such to be the case. Nonetheless, in the case of white supremacy such distribution is evil because it perpetrates harms upon persons which are inconsistent with and corrosive of human dignity. I take this also to be a fairly uncontroversial statement for it is based on the very notion of the moral equality of human beings which grounds American social ideals.

One of the means by which white supremacy can be genuinely consigned to the past is reverse discrimination. Such programs give preference to minorities who are at least minimally qualified over whites even when the latter are more than minimally qualified. There is no question such approaches distribute benefits and even harms - upon the basis of racial difference.

The sorts of programs which I advocate are no less forms of discrimination than were slavery and segregation. Those who share my advocacy of such preferen-

tial programs may find this a bitter pill to swallow. But only because they fail to see that reverse discrimination is significantly different from the forms of discrimination which were the instruments of white supremacy.

Whereas those forms of discrimination were tools of racial oppression, buttressed by an ideology which characterized blacks as inferior, unclean, and morally corrupt, no such thing can be said of reverse discrimination. Programs of reverse discrimination are not instruments by which to establish black supremacy.

Such reverse discrimination does not aim at concentrating goods, power, and authority in the hands of blacks. Nor do programs of reverse discrimination presume that whites are inferior, unclean, or morally corrupt. Such programs seek the end of white supremacy and indeed of any form of racial domination in favor of the ideals of equality that Americans so frequently and loudly trumpet. This makes all the difference.

The reverse of white supremacy is not black supremacy but the realization of equality and thus the total negation of racial domination in all forms.

Why go as far as reverse discrimination? Why go beyond programs which merely aim to enforce quality

of opportunity? My answer is that mer~ affirmative action programs do not produce meaningful equality of opportunity. There may well be few formal barriers to full participation in American society, but significant material barriers remain. Past forms of discrimination have left whites with a monopoly of economic, social, and political power. The benefits of this monopoly are passed on to white children in the form of superior housing, medical care, clothing, education, and the like. These benefits enable white children to utilize their opportunities more effectively than black children in those instances where opportunities are formally equal. When these black children mature, they will find themselves as poorly equipped with resources to hand on to their children as their parents were. So, with each generation the concentration of power, authority, and goods in the hands of whites goes on with little ch路ange.

Affirmative action programs can at best alter the situation of the exceptional person, the person who can overcome the limitations generated by white supremacy from generation to generation. Such programs do not actively intervene to break the white monopoly on power, authority, and goods. Active in-

''The majority sees black crime, but fails to see that the brunt of that crime is borne by black people." tervention is imperative if the gap between social reality and social ideals is to be significantly narrowed.

Another reason mere affirmative action programs are inadequate is the prevalence of what might be called visceral racism, unacknowleged attitudes which lead people to systematically ignore blacks' social situation. We need only read our daily newspapers and listen to T .V. and radio news programs to see, for instance, how the majority (black and white) is quite aware of black violence, but has little, if any, awareness of an equally apparent history of official violence towards blacks. Black looters are depicted in racially based moments of social upheaval, but no attempt is made to show the living conditions which can and do generate desperation to the point of sociopathic behavior. We lionize the multi-millionare, professional black athletes while failing to see the many who are used and tossed aside uneducated and without employable skills when their usefulness to athletic programs has ended. The majority sees black crime but fails to see that the brunt of that crime is borne by black people. They see the numbers of blacks in prisons but fail to see that blacks are more severely punished than whites even when their criminal histories are relevantly similar. I could go on and on but my point is that this selective perception of the circumstances of black Americans, this visceral racism, infects and undercuts even the limited efficacy of affirmative action.

But what of the white victims of reverse discrimination? Have they not been unfairly treated? In most cases, no. As noted earlier, the essence of white supremacy is the concentration of power, authority, and wealth in the hands of whites. When a white person loses out on some position because of a program of racial discrimination, a rather minimal portion of his or her advantaged position is neutralized. Insofar as this advantaged position is the result of white supremacy, neutralization of it takes away something which is undeserved. Programs of reverse discrimination may prevent whites from gaining positions they most desire, but are not likely to prevent them from obtaining comparable positions.

Admittedly there may be white individuals disadvantaged by reverse discrimination who have not been the beneficiaries of white supremacy. And there may be black individuals who gain from reverse discrimination who have not been affected by white supremacy. For me this is not a problem. Reverse discrimination is not a form of compensation to vic-

tims of past wrongs. For all I know few of those who actively sustained white supremacy are alive. Even if they are, how do we identify them and determine the appropriate form of compensation to be extracted from them? Rather than dwell on the excesses of the past I believe reverse discrimination should be justified on the grounds that it is morally desirable to reduce the distance between American social reality and the ideal of equality. Reverse discrimination is among the instruments of social policy which can, if utilized, make this possible.

While all but a few people see equality as a worthwhile goal, some individuals believe that reverse discrimination is not an appropriate means of attaining that goal. In their view, reverse discrimination violates the right of whites to equality. I think this view is in error. It confuses two very different matters, what contemporary political philosopher Ronald Dworkin has referred to as "equal treatment and treatment as equals." When we accord equal treatment to individuals, we treat them as if there are no morally relevant differences between them. When we treat persons as equals we insure that their interests are given the same weight. Treatment of persons as equals may well mean that we treat them very differently. For example, treatment of handicapped persons as equals requires that their interest in access to public facilities be given no more or no less weight than that of people without handicaps. But it also means that special provisions for access to public facilities will be provided for the handicapped. Here, treatment of persons as equals requires that they not be accorded equal treatment.

I believe the same concept holds true for reverse discrimination. As long as the effects of white supremacy linger, the interests of blacks can not be given the same weight as the interests of whites. To treat blacks and whites equally is to allow the benefits of white supremacy to pass from one white generation to the next, while the burdens are similarly passed from generation to generation of blacks. Since blacks are the moral equals of whites, the legacy of white supremacy must be dismantled. This will require, among other things, reverse discrimination. Such discrimination does not accord equal treatment to whites, but it does not deny them treatment as equals. It does not consign them to an inferior position in society. It is not based upon the belief that they are morally corrupt, unclean, or inferior. It is founded upon the belief that circumstances which allow white interests to have greater weight then those of blacks should not persist.

If my arguments are sound, then the choice facing American society is clear. Either the social ideals it so frequently and loudly expresses are genuine goals to which it is seriously committed or they are just so much rhetoric. If the goals are authentic, then programs of reverse discrimination, though not a panacea, must be included among the social policy tools being brought to bear on this problem. • Maurie' L.

hen the "new" Mather opened in 1960, the excitement on campus was electric. "The Trinity way of life is going to change for all under路graduates," declared a College spokesman.

THE CAVE, the student snack bar in the basement of Mather, is being used more effectively by students in its new larger quarters, both during the day and for special events in the evenings and on weekends.

nearing completion ... " For the first time the College was to have a specific building for student activities.

The enthusiasm was no less contagious earlier this year when the "new" renovated Mather reopened. Before it was fully refurbished and expanded in the renovations, the student center was straining at the seams, despite having been enlarged once previously in the 1970s. Particularly in the food service operation, the building lagged behind in meeting the needs of a growing student body. Where there were 350 students on the meal plan in 1960, currently there are 1300. Meeting rooms were likewise seriously taxed.

But, the 1984 edition of Mather, renovated at a cost of approximately $4.2 million, has solved those problems and created attractive new options in the bargain. Food service director Robert Schondelmeier reports that there are 200 additional students on the meal plan this year, reflecting, he says, "the improved atmosphere and ambience of the dining and serving areas." Increased storage and preparation space in the kitchen, along with judicious new equipment purchases, have resulted in much greater flexibility, he says. "We still get very crowded when 500 people arrive at the same time," Schondelmeier says, "but the new facility handles it much better than the old one did."

Expansion of the student snack bar and alumni lounge, the creation of a new second floor lounge, and addition of food service access and service to the Washington Room have all created more viable meeting spaces, which are being welcomed with heavy use. "The added rooms allow us to have even more events on the same day," said Schondelmeier, adding that increasingly events are being moved to Mather from other locations on campus. Indeed, in one 3 1/z-week period in October, 308 events were held in Mather, according to Anne Gushee, director of calendar and special events.

Informal use ofthe building is also up. Vice President Thomas A. Smith, who chaired the committee overseeing Mather renovations, has observed that students are taking more pleasure and lingering longer over their meals in the dining hall and in the Cave. Wayne Gorlick-Asmus, Mather's director, notes that students also use the building for study, in Wean Lounge or in the dining hall, until the early morning hours.

A BEAUTIFUL GALLERY on the second floor has already been used this fall for a student art show. Three of the works from the show were purchased by the College, to be displayed in Mather lounges.

AN ATTRACTIVE LOBBY houses comfortable furniture and the information desk, a vital clearing house for information on events at the College. At the left is the dining hall entrance. .

DINING is more of a pleasurable experience for students now that the dining hall's seating capacity has been significantly increased. Students feel freer to stay longer and talk with their dinner partners.

OTHER SUCCESS STORIES of the renovations are: the Washington Room (top), due to new food service access and storage; the new lounge (center), with its cathedral ceilings and terrace; and the terraces and patios on all three levels (bottom), here, the scene of the senior dance.

Commenting on the successes of the revamped facility, President James F. English, Jr. noted that some of the focus of student life has shifted to Mather, making the building more nearly what it should be - a center for student activity. "The students had a great involvement in the planning," he said, "and they are to be congratulated."

FOOD SERVICE proceeds much more efficiently now that the size of the serving area, kitchen and bakery and food storage areas have been significantly increased. The expanded alumni lounge (bottom left) has enjoyed far greater use since the renovations; with meetings and other special events, the room arrangement often changes five or six times daily.

Sports FOOTBALL (6 .. 2)1======:::==:::==:::==:::==-=: Trinity celebrated its 1OOth football season with quarterback Joe Shield breaking the passing records he had set in 1983. In the process, he built up career totals that are tops in the New England College Division. The potent aerial attack combined with a bigplay defense to give the Bantams a 6-2 season, their fifth consecutive winning year. Coach Don Miller's eighteen-year record is an impressive 94-47-3.

With Shield at helm, the Bantams threatened to score at every snap of the ball. He had a tremendous

get open deep, but also threatened to break the short passes for long gains. He took a kick-off 95 yards for a touchdown, and his average of 33.4 yards per return led the nation in Division III. When defenses tried to double-team both wide-outs, tight end Steve Donaghy was often open over the middle, grabbing 20 tosses.

The defense would bend, but rarely break, coming up with the big play to stop the opponent. They finished with 41 sacks (including 11 at Wesleyan), 16 fumble recoveries and 10 interceptions. The defensive line of Mark Murray, Andre John, Pat Finn, Frank Funaro and Mike Tighe consistently made good penetration. Linebacker Scott Elsas was again the team's

pair of receivers to throw to - the sneaky, glue-fingered Tim MeN amara and the perfect complement, speedster Mike Doetsch. McNamara, a senior, made many circus catches as he instinctively got open between defenders, often looking like a ballet performer on the sideline. He tied Ron Duckett's record of 13 catches in a game (at Bowdoin) and had 12 receptions twice. His season's total of 67 receptions tied the school record set by his brother, Pat, in 1978; Tim's career yardage total of 2,313 broke Duckett's mark of 2,289.

In the season opener Trinity went to Bowdoin for the first time since 1978 and got the impression that Brunswick is a nice place to visit. The Bants built a 310 second-quarter lead on the way to a 41-6 Iaugher.

Rich Nagy had a career-high 115 yards rushing and scored two of his ten touchdowns on the year.

The home opener saw T rin with a slim 20-14 halftime lead over Bates. Fifteen seconds into the second half, the rout was on. Doetsch returned the kick-off for a score and the Blue and Gold would explode for 35 third-quarter points. Shield threw a New-EnglandCollege-Division-record 6 TDs and Kevin Smith returned an interception 57 yards for a score. The final

of 55-21 was the most points by a Trinity eleven since 1966.

The third straight win was very different. Trailing 10-3 in the fourth quarter at Williams, Shield threw two touchdowns in a 52-second span to beat the Ephmen for the sixth year in a row. The lead stood as the Bantams came up with one of the biggest defensive plays in recent years. Williams had scored to cut the lead to 17-16. On the extra-point, co-captain noseguard Pat Finn broke through the wall to block the kick and preserve the win.

The Bantams went 4-0 with a Parents' Weekend 103 victory over Tufts. It was particularly satisfying to the seniors who had never defeated the Jumbos. Tufts was stopped on downs twic;e in the fourth quarter as they neared the Trinity goal.

Dreams of an undefeated season ended suddenly as a very much improved Hamilton club rallied for two late scores only 19 seconds apart to shock the Bantams and leave Hartford with a 26-15 upset win. Nagy ran for 92 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Trinity's powerhouse offense reappeared in New London as Coast Guard was manhandled, 38-13.

Shield threw three scoring strikes and Nagy ran for two more.

The big showdown came in front of a record Jessee

The Lord Jeffs sneaked away with a thrilling 22-21 come-from-behind triumph and would go on to an undefeated season. Trinity was up 14-3 at intermission but Amherst was not to be denied and controlled the ball for 23:47 of the second half.

Shield and McNamara ended their careers in grand style as Trinity shot down the Wesleyan Cardinals for a fifth straight year, 20-14. Aside from McNamara's acrobatic receiving, coach Miller dusted off some trick plays. One featured Shield as the receiver of a fiveyard touchdown pass; he made a diving catch after handing off to back-up quarterback Dan Tighe who was disguised in a different uniform number.

It is a strong senior class that is leaving the Hilltop.

Another Shield will never be seen. MeN amara, Donaghy, Finn, Mike Tighe, Elsas and McAloon are all going to leave big holes. Kicker Chris Caskin graduates with school records for most extra-points in a season (37) and most points in a game (11), season (49) and career (126). Other seniors are guard John Kochnowicz, linebacker Scott Sennett and split end Jay Goodman. Nevertheless, 1985 looks good as seven starters return on each side of the line.

FIELD HOCKEY (1Q .. 2 .. 2)=:==:==:== "Always the bridesmaid, never the bride," was the motivating slogan Robin Sheppard submitted to her field hockey team as they entered the Northeast Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (NIAC) tournament after an 8-2-2 regular season. And respond they did!

The team, which had lost in the semi-final in the tourament's inaugural year of 1982, and in the final last year, played so well that Sheppard was prompted to say, "It was the best field hockey I've seen one of my teams play." That's quite a compliment from one who has had some great teams on the way to an astounding 80-26-9 record over eleven years. The Lady Bants, seeded second, blasted Middlebury 5-3 in the semifinal, and upset host Williams 2-1 to win the crown and avenge their only Division III loss of the year.

The team was led by a strong corps of six seniors.

There will be a large hole in the scoring department with the graduation of Susie Cutler. Her speed, stickhandling, booming shot and overall intimidating style of play powered her to a team-high 13 goals and career total of 46, second most in Trinity history. Co-cap-

tains Kat Castle and Chandler Luke saved their best for last. Castle, who defeated Southern Connecticut in overtime with the game's lone goal, scored two of her six goals in the first eleven minutes of the Middlebury game to grab the early lead. Luke had only one score in the regular season, but exploded for two against Middlebury and then had both Trin tallies against Williams. The game-winner came just three minutes after the Ephwomen had tied the game at 1-1.

The Trinity 2-1 lead held firm thanks to the play of seniors Laura Higgs, Judy Avioli and Bonnie Adams, who was voted team MVP for her mid-field play.

Coach Sheppard calls her "very deserving" and "consistent." Another key performer was so ph goalie Pam Ingersoll. On the year she allowed just 16 goals and had 5 shut-outs. Other notable returnees for 1985 are Natalie Perkins (4 goals), Elise Boelhouwer (4 goals), next year's captain Priscilla Altmaier (3 goals), and on defense, Lesley Abrams and Kate Simonds, winner of the Most Improved Award. Many of the J.V. players will be vying for starting positions next year. Their team went 8-0, out-scoring opponents by the astronomical total of 40-3. Frosh Jennifer Brewster was a scoring machine with sixteen goals.

It was a "stronger team, a better team" for Coach Robie Shults and it finished with the best record seen on the Summit since 1977. The 5-7-1 mark could have been improved had not the Bantams felt generous enough to score twice for the opposition.

Following an opening-game loss, Trinity was locked in a scoreless tie with Central Connecticut. Late in the game Chris Hyland scored a goal that set the tone for the year. The Bants now knew how to win- keep fighting to the end. After M.I.T. was edged on a second-half goal, Trin played highly ranked W.P.I. even into overtime before falling, 1-0. Then the generosity began. Even at 2-2 with Eastern Connecticut late in the game, a fullback's clearing kick in front of the goal hit an out-of-position referee and careened into the net for the gamewinner.

After a third straight loss the team bounced back to go four games without a defeat. A barrage of three second-half scores turned away Tufts in front of a large Parent's Weekend crowd. The highlight of the year followed . Cross-town rival Division I University of Hartford was humbled 2-1 in overtime on Dave Boone's goal. Dave Janney then scored a late goal to tie Connecticut College 1-1. The only problem was, the Camels' lone tally came virtue of Bantam benevolence. Goalie Bill Eastburn was named team MVP, but on this occasion he threw the ball to the side where it hit a teammate's head and ricocheted in for a goal. The mid-season surge concluded with a 2-1 overtime triumph over Western Connecticut with the winner by Hyland. With a 5-4-1 record, play-off hopes t?xisted for awhile before three season-ending losses to strong opponents, the final on a disputed, late penalty kick.

"We made some strides forward," Coach Shults said, "You can't change overnight and we have a strong nucleus." Jeff Pilgrim, Sandy Monaghan and Dave Janney are the only starters graduating. Chris Downs hopes to clear up an eligibility snafu and play one more year. Hyland, Boone, Janney and Downs tied for the team lead with three goals apiece. Other top players for next fall are Pete Ammirati and Most Improved Player, Bob St. George.

WOMEN'S SOCCER (6 .. 4 .. 1)=::::::=::::::= By most teams' standards, a 6-4-1 record, making for a fourth straight winning season, would be a successful year. After three years in the NIAC play-offs, however, Trinity's women's soccer team had hoped for at least as much in 1984. The team started out headed for post-season play with a 3-0-1 record, including a tie with Yale. Three straight losses followed, however. The team rallied to win three of its last four games, but was edged out in the selection process for

the play-offs.

Karen Erlandson's team was senior-strong from goal line to front line. It was in the net, though, where the Bants struggled in mid-season. Four-year-starter Jeanne Monnes was stricken with mononucleosis and took with her her 5' 11" height and athletic instincts. that she'll bring back to the basketball court after recuperating.

Freshman Lisa Lake stepped into Monnes' big shoes and "never mis-played a ball," according to Erlandson. In fact, she came on to make some great plays and got the shut-out at Wheaton. Co-captains Laura Couch and Criss Leydecker (6 goals) were the pillars of defense and offense, respectively. Team MVP Karen Rodgers (3 goals), Prudie Horne (3 goals, 6 a,ssists), Tory Arvanitis (1 goal, 5 assists) and Sydney Fee round out a senior class the coach calls "a very talented group." Overall, Erlandson said, "Everybody showed a lot of character having lost the most important player by position on the team." Rodgers and Fee were named to the New England All-Star team.

Despite the loss the program will suffer on Commencement Day 1985, there are some excellent athletes in the nucleus that will try to climb back into the play-offs. At forward, Cary Lyford and Erika LaCerda are good skill players. Mid-fielder Ceronne Berkeley is one of New Englands' fastest speedsters. On defense, the team's Most Improved Player, Janet Lane, and next year's co-captains, Betsy McKay and Gina Cappeletti, are very strong.

CROSS .. COUNTRY=-========== The women raced as well as in 1983 but the wins and losses don't show it as the schedule was more difficult. Rather than dwell on the 10-12 record, coach John Kelly prefers to note their best-ever finish (6th) in the NESCAC Championship race and their 11thplace finish in the New England meet.

For the second year in a row, Ann Malabre won the MVP award. She set a new record for the home course, covering the three miles in 17:07. She improved her 17th place in the New England race of a . year ago and came in sixth. On the virtue of that strong finish, she was invited to the Nationals at Ohio Wesleyan.

The team should be very strong next year as only Erica Thurman graduates from the top group of runners. Others of note are Alix Steinert, who ran well all year, and Meredith Lynch who improved a great deal during the season.

The men struggled to their 8-15 record, suffering from a lack of depth in the younger classes. Dave Barry was the team's top runner and won the MVP award for a fourth consecutive year. Unfortunately, he sprained an ankle mid-way through the New England Championship race and that dropped the team's finish down a few notches to 20th. Other seniors in

the team's top seven runners were Dave Moughalian, Dave O'Donnell and Joe Wire. The highlights of the year were the victories over W.P.I. and Connecticut College and the second-place finish in a five-team race at Coast Guard. Top returnees for next season are Brian Oakley, Paul Deslandes and Craig Gemme!.

VOLLEYBALL (6 .. 7),====:====:====:====:====:

28

If you followed the sound of the roar of the crowd to Unit D this fall, you found Trinity's first-ever women's volleyball team, a club sport coached by Trinity postmaster Ernie LaRose. Playing a schedule of established varsity teams, save one, they posted a 6-7 record.

For anyone whose conception of volleyball includes the sun and the sand and a beer in one h and, this brand was quite different. This was no "Beach Blanket Bingo" volleyball game. Instead, it was fast-paced, enthusiastic, hotly-contested volleyball played at a high skill level replete with slamdunk spikes, line-drive serves and bodies flying all over the court making great saves.

Led by Captain Sis VanCleve, who won MVP, they were a spunky, hustling group that made up for a general lack of height and even swept a doubleheader in their first contest. Other key performers were Kathleen Strauss, Kris Cadelina, Debbie Smith, Chever Voltmer, Mary Anne Stillwell, and the team's lone senior, Tracy Mastro.

WOMEN'S TENNIS (7 .. 4)::==::==::==::.:: There were three big changes in the women's tennis program this fall on the way to a 7-4 season record and a second-place finish in the NESCAC Championships, one-half point behind Tufts. First, in late summer, there was a coaching change. Wendy Bartlett took over, bringing with her much experience at the club and high school level. Second, the red clay courts were replaced by a "plexi-cushion" hard surface. Unfortunately, however, the construction wasn't complete until October, leaving the team with just three outdoor courts. Third, the rules were altered, allowing singles players to play doubles as well. These latter two changes contributed to "a definite burn-out factor" according to coach Bartlett as the team, with its home matches postponed, played six times in the season's final eight days.

Claire Slaughter played number one singles and was not only undefeated, but also did not drop a set. She won the state singles title for a third year and the NESCAC singles title. Accordingly, she was selected the team's Most Valuable Player. She went on to compete in the New England Division I tournament, upsetting the #3 and #4 seeds on the way to a strong

third-place finish. As for the added burden of playing doubles, Slaughter commented, "I really enjoyed it. It helped my overall game."

There was a trio of fine seniors in Maria Rosenfeld, Jeanine Looney and Donna Gilbert whose absence will be felt next year. Slaughter was 9-0 in doubles, playing with either Gilbert or Chris Pastore. The team's Most Improved Player, Chris Sanden, and Priscilla Payne played together and compiled a 7-1 record.

For a second straight year it was a cliff-hanger at the NESCAC's with the Tufts Jumbos edging the Bants once again. Gilbert and Sanden made the finals of their brackets. Aside from her singles victory, Slaughter teamed with Gilbert to win number one doubles.

Sanden and Payne made the finals of their bracket in doubles.

WATER POLO (3 .. 5)==:==:==:==:== September 24, 1984 Rick Hazelton Athletic Director Trinity College

Dear Rick: Two and a half years ago, when I first began entertaining thoughts of shooting for a berth on the 路1984 Olympic rowing team, I knew that my success to a large part would be dependent upon the availability of an adequate training facility. Being a Hartford resident, and knowing of Trinity's rowing program, I made my way to Bliss Boathouse looking for the help I needed. I was not to be disappointed.

I learned that as a member of the Hartford Barge Club I would have the almost exclusive use of a brand new single shell housed in Bliss. That same day I also met for the first time someone who would play a critical role in my athletic development during the next two years. Above all else, it was the advice and support I received from Trinity's head rowing coach Burt Apfelbaum that made it possible for me to maintain the integrity of my training during a period when I was isolated from Olympic team coaches. Burt in fact became more than an advisor to me. He became a training partner as well, spending many hours of his free time with me on the water. We pushed each other hard. I can't tell you how important it was to have the company of someone as passionate about the sport, and as competitive, as I was.

But as I'm sure you know, rowing is a sport that involves year-round training. When cold weather no longer permitted water work, it was important that I maintain my work load with indoor training.

That meant the daily use of an ergometer and rowing tank- equipment not readily available in this part of the state. Rick, I want to thank you, sincerely thank you, for granting me permission to use these Trinity facilities. I know you must have thought- and justifiably so- that I was just another Joe with a pipedream. But you gave your support and essentially went out on a limb for me. As it turns out, that pipedream panned out. It panned out even better than my own expectations. I've got a silver medal in my hands and probably the most overwhelming sense of personal accomplishment I'll ever experience. I have you, Burt, and Trinity College to thank for helping to make that possible.

Recently I used a comment to express my gratitude to my employer, Tra'velers Ins. Co., for having sponsored my route to the Olympic Games. That comment is equally applicable here: you people truly own a piece of that medal. Please accept my warmest thanks. You've helped to make the success almost easy.

Sincerely, Phil Stekl cc: Burt Apfelbaum

A club sport, the team's top players were captain Dave Mugford, goalkeeper Andy Zimmerman and Nick Clifford who won the Most Valuable Player award. The team's small roster was a disadvantage as substitutions were limited and, eventually, games had to be cancelled.

Albert Edward Holland 1912,1984 Bert Holland '34, one of Trinity's most visionary administrators, died on August 17, 1984. He began his 31-year career in education in 1946 as director of admissions at the College, later serving as director of alumni relations and vice president for development. In 1966, he became president of Hobart and William Smith Colleges and later served as vice president of Wellesley College until his retirement in 1977. The following tribute by his former colleague and friend, William R. Peelle, was delivered at a memorial service in the Trinity Chapel this fall.

30

TO MOST OF US gathered here today to honor in memory this beloved friend, our acquaintance with him was made during those years which he spent at this college, the early post World War II years until he left Trinity to become president of Hobart and William Smith College in 1966.

Those are the years of his life which we can almost say "belong to us." I say this because this man led so many lives. While most of us ca n only manage one, he seems to have lived several, and lived all of them forcefully, brilliantly, and compassionately.

Many of us here today feel fortunate to have shared his "Hartford life," where he left his indelible mark. If everyone with whom he had some association in each phase of his life could speak up today, who knows how long that line of "Bert Holland friends" might be. Would it reach across the country? Perhaps.

We missed knowing him in his earlier years, from his birth in 1912 to his departure from Trinity as an undergraduate and the years to follow, which took him to Germany and later to the Philippines where he was interned in the Japanese prison camp, Santo Tomas, an experience which seared his emotions and he later said was the turning point in his life. Brilliant, incisive, witty, courageous, loyal, a man of integrity, but the role he chose to play for the remainder of his life was that of the humanitarian. He would be the first to tell us that the choice was forged in those years he spent in imprisonment.

It was a cold day in February 1946 that I

first saw Bert. We both had returned to Trinity following the war to resume our studies. The picture I have of him then is still valid. It was a typical Bert Vignette. He was striding down the long walk at a fast clip, so fast that few who walked with him could ever match his stride, greeting everyone he passed by name, tossing out brief messages of encouragement or congratulations as one might scatter confetti upon those he thought could use it. A day or so later we were introduced. That marked the beginning, although neither of us could know it then, of a long and close friendship which lasted until his death. He was an extraordinary influence in my life as he was in countless others.

It was not long after our first meeting thanhe Holland legend began to take shape. The word was out about the campus that this man was taking eight courses and getting A's in all of them. "Do we have a genius in our midst?" someone asked, "or is it just that he's in a hurry to graduate?" I think it was a little of both. Certainly he was impatient to get his B.A. degree and to get on with his life which he did without, it seemed, a moment's hesitation. Upon receiving his degree he took on the task of holding two positions in the college administration at once ... director of admissions and director of the alumni office. The genius behind these appointments was none other than Keith Funston, the newly appointed president of the college whose keen eye for talent and ability had focused on Bert. In one swift stroke he maneuvered Bert into the academic circle from which he

would never wander. That Bert went on at later dates to devote his energies, and place that same indelible stamp on two other academic institutions, Hobart and William Smith and Wellesley Colleges only reinforced Keith's good judgment to seize this man for the cause for education before he had time to consider something else. I have often thought how fortuitous it was for this college to have been blessed with the ideas and skills of these two men and both at the same time!

In the following year upon my graduation from Trinity Bert persuaded Keith to hire me as his assistant. It was in this position that I spent the next ten years under his guidance or you could say, spell. They were years of astonishment and awe, of some care and feeding, and always at some point much delight. It became clear to us lesser mortals that the man excelled in many fields, history, economics, music, art, languages, and the skill of organization, hence the astonishment and awe. As time went on it became clearer still that the price he paid for all this talent and drive was periodic collapses or basket-case fatigue, hence the care and feeding. And the delight? The delight ca me in many forms, in simple conversation when his mind leaped off the course, so to speak, to prove that there were even laughs in fund-raising, in his charming letters which read like fascinating chronicles of our times, and at his parties, those peach bolla punch productions which he gave himself to with as much fervor in their preparation as he gave to any challenge or cause ... the result often being that he worked himself into such a fever pitch what with his peaches and wine concoctions and his home-made verses for all of his guests, and his forays to town to buy all the accoutrements, that on occasion he greeted his guests in a state of near-total exhaustion. I look on those years as a special time in my life. No experience before or after has ever offered me so much reward.

When Bert took over the admissions office the peak enrollment of the college before World War II had been 400 students, and there was the serious question of what sort of student might apply to the college.

But both Keith as president and Bert as admissions director had visions that reached beyond that postwar period. Together they changed the image of the college from a small conclave of academic pursuit to the outstanding educational institution it is today. Seeing the need to broaden the makeup of the student body, Bert recruited for prospective students across the entire country ... visiting over sixty schools and interviewing 1,000 applicants each year. It was not long before our admissions office was receiving 3,000 applications a year. When Bert left Trinity in 1966, enrollment at the

college had risen to 1,200, and Trinity was among the leading small colleges in the United States.

There are two stories I like to tell about Bert and the admissions office. One has to do with intellect, the other with risk. I always imagined that in Bert's brain there was a room holding an enormous card file and a tireless secretary. Each time the man made a new acquaintance the name, address and pertinent facts got typed on the card file by the tireless secretary, and since the tireless secretary never slept, he or she was in charge of that card file, and ever onthe-ready to supply the information requested. How else are we to account for the formidable memory of this man? Both he and I working together in admissions would interview candidates for the freshman class and at later dates exchange our information. This would mean that approximately half of those students applying were unknown to him. But he did it all with mirrors or some sort of wizardry, memorizing their names and their faces from photographs. The climax came at the president's dinner for the in-coming freshman class, whose number ran between 225 and 240 students. Each year at those dinners Bert would stand in the receiving line and introduce each freshman to the president by name. In all the years I watched him I never remember his missing more than one.

The other story concerns his willingness to make a bet with himself, a tale we never admitted to until later years when the results were in. Bert always liked a competitor and often one who was the underdog.

In our search for the next year's freshman class we sometimes came upon students whose scholastic records might be shaky and therefore unqualified for admission but whose characters impressed us as potential winners. Together we would scan our lists of"hopefuls" and choose ten whom we were willing to admit on the theory that in time they would prove their excellence. We watched them as carefully as one might watch a race horse on the track. It was always the excitement of the year for Bert to see one of his "sub rosa" candidates finish at the head of the pack. It was rare that one of these late-bloomers ever disappointed him.

Admitting students to Trinity andreorganizing its alumni office were not enough to keep his mind busy though.

There were other temptations and entice- ' ments on the campus which attracted his fertile mind. He taught a section of European History, headed a freshman advisory committee, which he incidentally founded, and was himself engaged in a graduate program for his masters degree in history. Dr. George Cooper, one of Trinity's outstand-

ing faculty members, noted that Bert's dissertation on the British Foreign Office was brilliant. Bert's work in this field not only led to a lasting fr iendship between himself and George, but ultimately in 1960 to raise funds for the establishment of The Journal of British Studies, which wou ld become one of the most important publications in its field with George as its editor for twenty years.

But as we all know, what went on at Trinity College while Bert called it his residence was only half the story of his Hartford years. The other half concerned his involvement with the arts and charities of the city. Quickly al igning himself with the Hartford Symphony through his love of music he was soon one of its greatest fund raisers. And just as quickly it seemed someone spotted his abilities and tapped him for the Community Chest. It was during this period that he met and became close friends with a Trinity alumnus, Melvin Title. Perhaps this man can be held responsible for Bert's unparalleled success in fund raising for he sat Bert down and taught him lesson number one in How To Raise Money. "You must be very specific when you ask people for money" he said. "Tell them just how much you expect."

It was in 1953 that Bert initiated the tirst full-time Development Office at Trinity, later becoming vice-president for development and finally vice-president of administration. During this period he raised $14 million for the college. When Or. Albert Jacobs became Trinity's president in 1953, Bert was ab le to take both the new president and the college under his wing to lead them successfully through the largest capital campaign in the insitutition's history.

I t hink that along with his devout sense of humanitarianism there always lived in Bert the fire of the competitor. Give him a cause he believed in and he would race from his corner to raise money for it, bringing along with him a staff of loyal friends and acquaintances, some who came willingly, some with a prod. And if you were one of them and he had charmed you into the role of fundraiser, forget the charm but remember the deadlines. You slaved under his urging and the goal was always reached.

And after the campaign was over you promised yourself not to be charmed again.

But the next campaign was beyond the horizon and your memory would not be that strong. There is one famous Community Chest tale which his friend, Don Engley, Trinity's former librarian, likes to tell. Bert had been made chairman of the Chest campaign in the year that it would have for the first time a goal of $1,000,000, a heady sum for those times. On the night before the final report meeting when the campaign results would be announced, it was apparent

that the goal was still short by forty or fifty thousand dollars. Workers left that late night's assessment with resignation to the sad fact of failure. There was no hope that the extra money could be found. The next day when Don saw Bert board the bus which wou ld take him to the Bond Hotel where the final meeting would be held, the Great Fund Raiser could not resist divulging his secret. He whispered to Don that he had filled the fifty thousand dollar gap. Between eight a.m. and eleven-thirty that morning he had hung on the phone until he had found generous donors who would give again. Arriving at the Bond Hotel he kept his secret until the appropriate moment and then announced his news. Suddenly it was the Fourth of July, Christmas, New Year's Eve. What was to have been a wake was now a celebration. In the annals of Holland dramas this was one of his finest hours.

There were many "fine hours" for Bert while he was with us here in Hartford, so many in fact that his departure to Hobart and William Smith Colleges left many wondering how they could afford to let him go.

The Boy Scouts, the Episcopal Church, Watkinson School, New Horizons (the program for the chronically disabled), all would suffer from his absence. He went not only with their b lessings but with accolades. Trinity had awarded him its coveted Eigenbrodt Trophy as outstanding alumnus, and the trustees of the college awarded him an honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 1966. The City of Hartford had named him .

Man of the Year in 1963. So Bert left us then amid applause and regret, but even those of us who knew we would still be in touch with him despite the distances recognized the bare truth, that he had indeed separated himself from our midst. Which is what he has done now. When the news first came to us this summer it seemed at that moment that a just hand had finally intervened. His long siege had ended and at last we could only he glad for his deliverance. But as the days and weeks wore on, the sense of relief for his release from suffering got counterbalanced by our own sense of loss. Maybe in an unconscious attempt to revive him we found ourselves exchanging reminiscences, re-living times spent with him, recounting his triumphs, regaling ourselves with his extravagances. It became clear then that he really had not left us at all. Instead he seems to have woven himself into our lives and now we share him with one another.

Such a gift this is, which he has left us ... the pleasure of -his spirit for the rest of our lives.

Well, another football season has rolled around. It looks like a good one again for Trinity with an opening 42 to 6 win over Bowdoin and quarterback Joe Shield "throwing" for some 350 yards like the good old days of '14, '15 and '16 with TED HUDSON carrying the ball.

GEORGE FERRIS expects to show on campus for Amherst, November 3, and hopes to see some of us still on our feet. I hope to be there if I can get someone to bring me from New Haven, possibly BOB GILLOOLY '54 or JOHN FINK '44.

Received a long and most interesting letter from HERB EVISON '12 whom you may remember, giving us some of the highlights of his distinguished career in the field of conservation of the American soil and the "small farm."

He received his L.H.D. degree from Trinity at Commencement, 1984. Congratulations, Herb, from 1916 and others. Welcome to the Class of 1916 honorary.

Being election year, I am minded to relate a "tall story" updated from 1980 involving certain prominent Trinity alumni.

Herewith a tall story about one of Trinity's most illustrious and generous alumni, whom we will Brother Omicron.

Period in time - 1973 or 1974 or so, at least one or maybe two years before Watergate.

Brother Omicron had just played a round of golf with R. Nixon at his famous Burning Tree Club in Washington, D.C. where he had also played with President Eisenhower and President Jerry Ford at various times.

Brother Omicron was so impressed with President Nixon at that time that he wrote

me for news for the Trinity Reportfff, "In my opinion, President Nixon is the greatest president since George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson."

The letter, of course, was never published but returned to Brother Omicron, who received it gratefully back after Nixon's resignation.

Brother Theta, considering your extraordinary criticism of Ron Reagan, I believe you will be anxious to get your letter back, unpublished, after November 6, 1984. I will do so.

I am sure the two "brothers" involved will appreciate the so-called humor of the situation.

Let me hear from you about your aches and pains or otherwise.

Here it is, 11:00 a.m., October 13, when I should be starting for Jessee Field an hour and fifty minutes away to see the Tufts football game. But that is a slightly inaccurate statement. Because of a health setback a year ago, my medical expert has ruled out any excitement- driving, especially Trinity football games, and has consequently brought to an end the pleasure of attending Trinity games at home and away, which I have done with very few exceptions dating back to the early 1920s.

It was some years ago at a University of Rochester game at Rochester that I sat with a chap I had seen at several games.

He turned out to be GEORGE MACKIE '31, and we have sat together at all games since. He takes voluminous notes and over the weekend types accounts of the games for two former fellow undergraduates.

This year he has kindly added my name to his list and sent me accounts of the first games.

As I had been in the hospital again , I was not up to attending the reunion dinner in June. I read in the recent Reportfff that ERHARDT SCHMITT '16 had been driven to Hartford by his son, Class of 1960, which, incidentally, was the year my son received a degree at Trinity.

Speaking of Schmitt, I am reminded of my freshman year when Ilived at 40 Jarvis Hall. Toward the end of the Trinity term, there was a group of songsters that gathered on the campus for some unrehearsed close harmony. Never have I heard music so sweet.

In case you guys didn't know at this midseason point (Oct. 14th) of our football season, our Trinity Bantams are sitting pretty prettily on a four win, no loss season. Two more home games coming up against Hamilton and Amherst with away games at Coast Guard and those fellows down in Middletown. I am sure that this issue of the Reportfff will summarize the whole season for you. If you have never seen our co-captain and quarterback, Joe Shield, in action, you have really missed some thrills.

My biggest disappointment to date is that my pal, ANDY FORRESTER, has not felt up to going to the two home games with me to date. After three weeks of incarceration (his term) at the Hartford Hospital, he has been recovering under the care of his helpmate, Annabel!, at home.

Hopefully, he will be able to attend both the Hamilton and Amherst games in our 50-yard gratis reserved seats from Trin Coli Sane.

Happy to report that FRANK BLOODGOOD is now showing good recovery from his problem but sorry you guys don't respond to JERRY HANSEN's request for news.

Apparently the well has finally run dry or nearly all of the '35 stalwarts are affected with writer's cramp. I say nearly all because BOB LAU initiates a frequent letter. With his latest epistle Bob enclosed a check for the Bill Warner Fund. That is the only contribution I've received this year.

Bob is getting used to retirement and is starting to like it. While cutting down his involvement with many of his life-long associations, he's not completely out of the picture, just having been renamed service officer for both the county American Legion and his own local American Legion post.

Bob sadly reports that BOB DAUT '34 has suffered his second stroke.

For what interest it may be, your SECRETARY and frau have had a very busy but highly satisfying five weeks babysitting our only grandson- almost three and active as a dynamo, the epitome of perpetual motion.

1949 Team Reunion The memories flowed as freely as the refreshments when the 1949 football team got together over Homecoming Weekend to recall the days of glory.

It was the first team from the Hilltop to go 8-0. They amassed the amazing total of 312 points, a school record that stands today. "Coach Jessee didn't feel we had a comfortable lead until we were fifty points ahead," defensive tackle Frank Sherman explained.

Frank was part of a self-proclaimed "stingy defense" that yielded only 38 points all season. Captain Roger Hall, who the Tripod called "a bruising fullback," gave credit for this to Jessee "whom concentrated on constant drilling. Just about the time you thought he'd run the hell out of you, he'd run you some more."

The Tripod hadn't given the squad much chance in its preview, saying, the "outlook is not quite so bright." That was quickly proved wrong when the team rallied in the opener to defeat Williams 34-13 . "[knew we had a team at halftime versus Williams," Hall commented. The Bantams went on to rout their next four opponents by a combined 244-13.

No wonder Bill Vibert set a record for extra points (34) that lasted until 1983! The team entered the fourth quarter at Amherst 0-0, then exploded for

21 points and went on to defeat Wesleyan for the first time since 1936 and finished the year with a triumph over Tufts.

Right tackle Hoot Nicholson called Jessee a "helluva offensive coach with innovations ahead of his time. We confused everyone by having many plays off the same formation." All those plays employed "three separate backfields" according to left halfback Tom DePatie as the team had a lot of depth with many players from 1948's undefeated freshman squad. They weren't big but it was "one of the overall fastest teams Trinity ever had," proclaimed right halfback Jim Pickett. Center Whitey O'Berg said it was easy to block for this group because "they ran around the guy l missed."

Guard Don Rathbone praised Jessee as "an offensive genius" and line coach Art Christ described him as "the greatest teacher of quarterbacks I've ever known" - quite a compliment from someone who played for Paul Brown in Cleveland. Jessee had a fine passer to work with in Ed Ludorf. Other weapons were Bill Goralski, the tremendous threesport star, called the "devasting Avon flash" by the school paper, Jack Corcoran, who returned a kick 91 yards against W.P.l., and AI Magnoli.

THE WINNING 1949 BANTAMS, the only Bantam football team to go 8-0 and also the highest scoring team in Trinity history, had a little reunion and dinner on Homecoming weekend. Present for the event were: front row, Dick DePaolis '51, John Wentworth '52, Richard "Hoot" Nicholson '52, Lambert "Whitey" Oberg '51, Don Rathbone '52, Frank Sherman '50, John MacKesson '50 (manager), and Tom Head '52; and second row, Bob Hunter '52, Joe Rekas '50, Jackie Corcoran '50, Roger Hall '50, Art Christ (coach), AI Magnoli '52, Jim Pickett '51, Bill Goralski '52, Tom DePatie '52, Joe Beidler '42 (coach), and Bill Vibert '52.

It will be of interest to note that two recent weddings, which occurred within days of one another, involving Trinity graduates and parents of Trinity graduates produced settings for many 1'rinity alumni to enjoy each other's company, as they invariably do, in most congenial settings. The weddings were those of DONALD J. VIERING, JR. '72 to the former Lindsay Brdlik (see Weddings) at Trinity Episcopal Church in Collinsville with reception at the Viering estate in Collinsville, the other being the wedding of LISA JANE BONEE '78 and Miguel Angel Arbues (see Weddings) at The Cathedral of St. Joseph, with reception at The Hartford Club.

Things must have really slowed down for us '62ers - and just after I reported all of the happenings of our Class in the summer issue of the Reporter. Guess what?

The Alumni Office didn't receive a single piece of new information to send me for this issue - so it will be short this time.

The only bit of news I have to relate is a personal note. I ran across ERIC BROUDY, who is working at Brown University as director of the Brown News Bureau . It really is a small world - I found out about Eric's arrival when my son, Todd, mentioned the name of one of his classmates, Oliver Broudy, and that name rang a bell from the past. Sure enough, I met the same Eric several months later. It turns out there is a whole contingent of Trinity alumni(ae) in our small town of 18,000.

Send us your news!

An August 12 Hartford Courant article describes the enlargement and renovation of GEORGE GUILIANO's Rocky Hill home. To save money and because he always wanted to build a house, he decided to design the addition himself and do most of the carpentry work. Several pictures and the lengthy feature detail the handsome results.

We heard from several of our physician colleagues recently. DWAIN STONE wrote to tell us of his new affiliation with the Eastend Clinic, Ltd., where he is a general and vascular surgeon in Superior, WI.

Even further west, DAVE CHARLESWORTH recently opened his own office and his own independent practice in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery in West Valley City, UT. Dave writes that he and his wife, Jane, and their three children enjoy the life including skiing, hiking, camping, white water rafting, and visiting with several other Trinity people in the area including OTIS CHARLES '48, PETER BROWN '82, DAVID BECK '65, HAROLD DRINKHAUS '58 and TOM ZARR '67.

Nearer to the east, but no longer the Far East, CARY JACKSON writes that herecently returned from Hong Kong and has established a new corporation engaged in real estate investment and international advisory services for overseas investors.

Cary's company, Jackson Ventures International, is in Baltimore, MD. Finally, even further east, DAVE CANTRELL has been appointed the new minister of the United Methodist Church on Nantucket. We wish him good luck, and we certainly plan to stop and see him at some point next summer.

We look forward to hearing from others of you soon, in whatever direction!

news release stated, "Our experience gained in the hiring and training of large numbers of temporary employees at the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, made us the logical choice to hire and train more than 50,000 paid and volunteer employees for the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. In addition, we staffed and trained more than 20,000 security guards. The public acclaim and operational results of the Olympic Games were most gratifying to all of us at Management Resources."

My ten-year-old is holding a roller skating party for eight next Sunday; I wonder if Steve could train how to handle that event?

Word has reached the Alumni Office that DICK SANGER has been elected vice president and treasurer of Sea-Land Corporation, a worldwide ocean and overland transportation company localed in Menlo Park, NJ. The irrepressible JEFFREY FOX and I got together recently to review the manuscript of a book he was writing entitled One Hundred Things They Never Taught You at the H arvardBusiness School. I personally thought the format and content were excellent. To Jeff's dismay, however, Mark McCormick, business consultant to major sports figures, brought out a book with the very same title that now sits on the New York Times Best Seller List.

Don't think Fox is out of ideas.

Wish I had more news to report, but then that's up to all of you. I look forward to hearing from more of you for the next issue.

Your SECRETARY took the plunge (many in fact!) this summer and joined the evergrowing number of board sailing enthusiasts. A sort of isometric combination of skiing and sailing, it is a real challenge and a: tremendous amount of fun. Too bad the New England climate forces one to don

his wet suit so soon. Yet there is nothing like viewing Connecticut's spectacular autumn colors while the spray of a crisp, clean lake enlivens my spirit.

By the way, remember that our 15th Reunion will be coming up this spring!

JERRY HANSEN and everyone at the Alumni Office are really planning a lot of fun for us, so keep it in mind as your calendars firm up in the months ahead.

Some of this info may be a bit stale as it arrived just after my last cut-off date. By now EADS and PEGGY JOHNSON are probably experts on the geography of Tokyo, as that is where Morgan Stanley decided they should be. Also, by now you have probably all read GREG POTTER's first issue of "Jemm, Sun of Saturn," a spectacular comic book which he created and DC Comics is publishing.

ELAINE FELDMAN PATTERSON also provided a newsy letter this quarter.

She writes, "I guess it's only appropriate to send a little news seeing as it's fall semester time. I am finally breaking the habit of thinking of the year as two semesters plus summer. It's a difficult habit to break after all this time.

"The summer has been particularly chaotic with the Olympics in town. Actually, it was fabulous - the city really put on a great show. If you can believe i~. even the crowds at the events were really nice. We had tickets to anything our pocketbooks could afford and enjoyed volleyball and basketball (the gold medal game!) the best.

It was a dramatic letdown when the Games closed.

"During the summer we also sold our old home and bought a new one - more centrally located for our jobs. In fact, we now live only a few miles from Karen and MIKE GILMAN. "With all of the turmoil of the last few months, we're booked for a trip to Club Med in Playa Blanca, Mexico the first week in November. I'm already dreaming about WARM ocean water.

Hello from Chicago, '82ers! I guess Season's Greetings will be in order by the time this reaches everyone - right now I can't muster very much good cheer, what with my (adopted) Chicago Cubs losing their chance at the World Series. In any event, there's always next year. In the meantime I was pleased to receive a number of letters from Trin people - it sounds as if things are only getting better. BILL TALBOT dropped me a line to reassure us that "despite rumors to the contrary, I am not in the macrame industry," but instead he's a first year M.B.A. student at Dartmouth's Amos Tuck School of Business.

He's not alone up there, for there are seven Trin people in the program. He also managed to get to the bottom of things with his two "cohorts" in last time's Notes PAUL SCOLA is earning his Ph.D. in chemistry at Penn State and ERIC MENDOZA-WOODS is a software engineer at Teradyne out here in Illinois.

DEBBIE MANDELA MYERS passed alorig news of her wedding on May 12, where ANN PFISTER and MARGARET PETRIE were bridesmaids. RHEA PIN-

CUS also attended (and reports she had a lot of fun). After honeymooning in Aruba, Debbie had to hurry back for Ann's wedding on June 23. Debbie is still working on her M.B.A. and working for the Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association, where she recently authored an article published in a trade paper. She and Ann wanted to pass along their regards to ROB AHRENSDORF, getting his M.B.A. at Northwestern. Hi, Rob - and congrats, Debbie and Ann. Also heard from JUDY WOLFF, who was also full of news. She's in an M.F.A. program at Syracuse, after an exciting spring driving cross-country. She reports on a whole bunch of New York people, too.

KIM MAIER loves the city and is reportedly "glowing and radiant, must be in love!"; SUSAN HAFF, with a public relations firm; JENNIFER OLSHAN, in law school there; and SCOTT ESTABROOK, "seen frequently with Jennifer(!)," are all happy in the Big Apple, too. On a more exotic note, Judy tells me that KATHRYN BROWN has returned home after a year and a half in Paris, working for Johnson & Johnson. Coming back from the other direction, BRODIE BAIN has left Seattle and is now in architecture school. Which one, Brodie? And up by Boston, Judy reports that LAURIE ANDERSON is in Jamaica Plain, MA, while LINCOLN COLLINS and DAN BOYNE are both in Brighton. Finally, Judy has a message for

JOHN MEANEY- "Oh, well. Maybe next life." Sounds as if there's a story behind that ...

MARY ANN CONNORS KRIKORIAN had a lot of news for us about North Carolina, where she lives while her husband, Steve. is stationed at Fort Bragg. She teaches fourth graders (despite their accents, she says) at Holbrook School there and really enjoys the group immensely.

(It's so nice to hear of someone who loves going to work each day!) She is seeking her master's in education at Campbell University part-time and will fmish with that in 1985. She'll be able to do that in part because she won an academic scholarship based on merit. That's a Trin education for you. She spends some of her precious spare time playing soccer - good luck, Mary Ann. I've a couple of letters which I misplaced and just recently found. At the risk of old news, here goes. TRACEY CAESAR also joined the ranks of prep school teachers after graduating from Trinity and is ve-ry happily teaching math and science at the Low路Heywood Thomas School in Stamford, "insuring a sizeable influx of future Trinity preppies." As reported previously, she is also engaged to CHRIS TOLERICO, who's in his third year at Rutgers Medical School. And MIKE LIPP reports he still has a year and a half before he can head north, from Vanderbilt, with his Ph.D. In the meantime, Mike is in Nashville's com-

munity chorus and is a volunteer with the "Talking Library"' for the blind.

Word comes to me via the Alumni Office from a Jot more of us, too. MATT McLAUGHLIN, who is in charge of the post office at the University of Hartford, has the best news - he's married, since June 30. On the other hand, SANDRA FRAZIER CONNELLY has some pretty exciting news, too - she and her husband have left Sao Paulo to come back to the States (Houston) and are expecting a baby in January, 1985. Congrats to you both.

Two "Brown" Trinityites have recently switched jobs - DAVE BROWN has left The Aetna to move up to be a consultant with Computech in Glastonbury, and MICHAEL BROWN has left First Investors to start in Boston U's M.B.A. program.

(Thanks to BILL PAVLOVICH for those tidbits and the one about Matt McLaughlin.)

TOM SAVAGE got quite a promotion to assistant treasurer of National Westminster Bank, U.S.A. in New York. He is still with the cable television area of the bank's United States group and lives in Manhattan. On the other side of the country, DONNA WAITE is still in California - Oakland - at Berry & Berry where she is a medical legal assistant.

The best I could do for "entertainment value" this time is the report by BILL PAVLOVICH that former classmate DAVID GURLIACCI "has been holding

the conservative line using the phone lines to call late night radio talk shows." When's the re-broadcast, Bill?

Me? Same old stuff- law school at University of Chicago, swimming in Lake Michigan and coming to Connecticut every chance I get. Since I'm stuck out here, I hope everyone can drop me a line and clue me in to what's going on everywhere else.

Meanwhile, take care and enjoy (thanks to DEBBIE MANDELA for that advice!). I look forward to hearing from y'all.
