Beginning the conversation:

President-elect pledges commitment to Trinity vision and values of Evan S. Dobelle as the 18th President of Trinity at press time for the Reporter. Following his election, Board Chairman Alfred]. Koeppel '54 introduced President-elect Dobelle to the Trinity community and paid tribute to Interim President Borden W Painter Jr. '58 at an all- , campus reception. What follows are excerpts of Do belle's comments to the community. Editor's note: The Trinity Board of Trustees announced the election

am deeply privileged to join this historic community of learning. To President-elect Evan S. Dobelle, with his every member of the Trinity family, I pledge my fidelity to the values wife, Kit, and son, Harry. of your College, to the timeless lessons of the liberal arts, to free and unfettered inquiry, to open cultivation of ideas and to an essential faith that the pursuit of truth is both inherently worthy and vital to citizenship. I am particularly thankful to Borden Painter who personifies the soul of Trinity College and who has done so much to preserve its sense of community during his tenure here as faculty member, dean of faculty and interim president. Over the weekend, Borden kindly invited me to join him for conversation. His generosity of spirit, the power of his thought and his commitment to the academic integrity of Trinity College are inspiring. I have met a valued colleague, a wise counselor and a gracious role model. Today, the most exciting of my professional life, we begin our conversation. We will come to know each other as colleagues and as common members of the Trinity family. I know that I must earn my place in your family - that I must do so by listening rather than by talking; by action rather than through promises; by humility rather than by hubris. I know that I must earn my place in this family by continuing to live a commitment to the liberal arts and the values they embody - values which have set Trinity at the pinnacle of American higher education and will sustain it into the next century. I promise you that I will be true to you and to the traditions of this College. In the conversation that we begin today, I believe that we shall find that we stand firmly on co1ID110n ground - that our fundamental values are in harmony and our shared commitment to this College is unyielding. Let us be clear from this first moment - this presidency exists for faculty, for students and for the fundamental liberal arts mission of Trinity College. This is your College. Its vision is your vision. Its values are your values. Those values have served this College well for more than 170 years and I have not come here to try to change them. My responsibility is to celebrate the vision for Trinity and support you in giving it life. I will support you by ensuring that the students of Trinity College reflect the best this nation has to offer; that the College remains in fiscally smooth seas; that its endowment grows; that its fund raising succeeds; that its vitality is clearly represented to alumni as well as to a nation desperately in search of both excellence and institutions that resonate clear and consistent values about the pursuit of knowledge and the responsibilities of leadership. As for our calling in the capital city of Hartford, we will inspire the young men and women of Trinity to lives of civility and service. As Teilhard de Chardin resolved, that "salvation is found not in the abandonment of this world but in active participation to build it," we must remember that while the pursuit of truth is in itself worthy, it is in placing our knowledge at the service of others that we achieve our greatest sense of self. I believe that a student's journey through Trinity is incomplete if he or she leaves without the understanding that knowledge breeds responsibility. And so our conversation begins, a dialogue about the future of a great tradition and a great enterprise. Let us promise each other that our dialogue will always be that - a conversation in two directions in which we are always passionate, always ready to listen, always ready to grow, and always true to the values that have shaped the proud history of this College. I look forward to meeting you and working with you.

e ' tn How does Trinity's location in Hariford affect the College? The ways are many, observed in Trinity 's long history in the City and its multifaceted, present-day life. To get at the answers to this and other questions about Trinity in the City, R eporter Editor Roberta ] enckes met with the College's senior administrators whose offices are most involved with City issues: President Borden W. Painter, Jr. '58; N. Dean the

Painter: It m eans a world of opportunities for our students. Through our excellent internship program they can try out careers and find mentors. W e use H artford 's excellent resources to enhance the classroom experience. We don't have to have an art museum on campus, for instance: we have a first-class art museum downtown, the Wadsworth Atheneum. We

Reporter: But, "is the neighborhood safe?" is a question we get fron1 time to time . Painter: I think that people who have been away from campus for a while see a decline in some of the neighborhoods around Trinity . But, the safety issue is somewhat a case of inaccurate perception, rather than reality. Just as worry about crime sometimes makes people ex-

Trinity leaders take on the big â&#x20AC;˘ 1ssues campus. We have an excellent record in campus safety. Borus: When prospective students and their parents ask about the safety ofTrinity's neighborhood, I point out that a student's personal safety is no more an issue here than it should be at a rural campus in Maine or Vermont or Massachusetts. I invite parents to pick up the statistics and

compare campus safety situations for themselves. There are students and, more often, parents who just don't want to have anything to do with a city. But, it is our reality, even while it is also one of our main distinctions. We have to go after that segment of the high school graduating population that is interested in the advantages that come from the city location. We have to ~.-v ,!L!uu<LJ.!

rave about all the opportunities they have here, and how all of those things add to their education in ways that their fri ends who are at more rural schools just can't take advantage of. This is what we stress in our admissions publications, and the theme has been validated by our current students.

Kelly: To me, the most significant testament to the ef-

crease the security. We need 20 more guards." Students on Trinity's campus feel wonderful. I can remember the senior class president saying last year, "This is the safest place I have ever been." In the residence halls, students sometimes don't bother to lock their doors, even though we advise them to. We do not have that situation of the

So, h ere we are, m u ch fu rth er along than m any of our sister institutions. I do b elieve there is th at perception issu e about the rest of the C ity. H istorically, students have felt very com fortable just staying h ere on campus. W ith th e advent of the campus shuttle, students gradually are coming to appreciate the sports and other attractions downtow n and so are going there more often . Rep orter: Dean T h omas, do students go to the Dean of Students' office with problems related to living in the City?

Thomas: N ot as much as you migh t think. I think we do a good j ob of h elping students to b egin to think ab ou t w h at it m eans to live in a city, even b efore orientation . There's even a question on the admissions application asking for their though ts on attending college in th e City. So, by the time they get h ere they are more aware of w hat it means to b e at sch ool in Hartford, Connecticut, than you m ight think. And we try to get students to learn w h at it m eans to live every day in a city setting. Reporter: P resident P ainter, w hat do alumni ask ab out when you see th em? Painter: Certainly, there is some very real concern am ong some alumni that T rinity's "p osition " is going down b ecause of the n eighborhood. I think their appreh ension comes from m isp erceptions about the n eighb orhood. And so, the questions they ask are: "Wh at is happening at T rinity?"; "Is the

Late 1960s: Growing awareness that Frog Hollow is deteriorating as Hartford's industrial base declines.

I say to them that Trinity's campus and su rrounding n eighborhoods must remain attractive if we are to be su ccessful in attracting the outstanding students and faculty we want. Trinity competes hard for the best stu dents with th e oth er top national liberal arts colleges. Our location in this capital city, w ith all its resources, is what makes Trinity distinctive amon g liberal arts

colleges. There is no question that we lose some, and I emphasize, som e, applicants because of the neighborhood. But, I also say, "Look at w hat this city offers the student getting his or her education at Trinity." And we can talk about pluses and minuses, and be very up-front about it.

R ep orter: W hat do the students say are th e real pluses? Painter: Stu dents h ave told me that in ternships gave them a greater sense of self-confidence, and, for nuny, a greater sense that their education at Trinity was going in

the righ t direction. I remember one stu dent w ho worked in a C ity Hall office and saw that sh e was taking on more responsibility than some of the people around her. And sh e th ou ght, "Wow, I can do this, and I'm still a stugent ... "

Kelly: What I h ear from students is that there is such a convenience fac tor, going to Trinity and getting an internship in Hartford . The number of internships available and the downtown commute to get involved w ith Travelers or City Hall are very pleasing to them. It's very easy, espe-

The College in the City cially now with the downtown shuttle, and there are so many organizations clamoring to take advantage of this wonderful expertise that Trinity has to offer.

Borus: In the focus groups we conducted recently as part of the College's marketing effort, our current students said that the benefits of the city location are Trinity's primary distinguishing feature, as well as what they had come to appreciate most. We have student interns at the insurance companies, at banks, at corporations and in businesses ranging from multi-nationals to mom-and-pop size. Students in the arts parlay their work with the Hartford Stage or the Hartford Ballet or Symphony into careers, especially in arts management.

Most young Americans will live and work in a major city after they graduate from col- 路 lege, and going to school in a city gives them an introduction to city life that they can't get in a rural setting. We do a survey every year of all students who are admitted to the College, both those who are coming and those who aren't. We do get students saying, "My parents and I didn't feel

that the neighborhood was safe and so I decided to go elsewhere." But, we also get students who tell us exactly the opposite, that the opportunity to be involved in some of the things that stem from our city location made the deciding difference for them. So, it works both ways, and we will continue our efforts to capture that part of the market that is interested in the City, and to answer any m isperceptions of those who initially are a bit scared by it. Rep orter: W hat is Trinity's strategy for improving the neighborhood? Perez: O ur neighborhood initiatives are based on the premise that we cannot go it alone or impose solutions unilaterally. Given our small size and limited resources, we need partners to make a real impact. And, education will always be our top priority. O ur neighbors understand this. They do n't expect us to be big investors. But, they do expect us to be the leader and to be a catalyst for positive change.

So, our strategy has been to work with the existing neighborhood and city groups, and empower them in their ef-

cial ly on the north and east sides of campus .

group of the College's leading decision-makers has launched a six month-long assessment ofTrinity's current approach to the stabilization of the neighborhoods adjacent to the campus. The committee is expected to report to the Board of Trustees in March. The action comes on the heels of recent successes in revitalization on streets north of the campus. Trinity intensified its efforts to improve nearby neighborhoods in 1990, in response to the rapid deterioration of much of Hartford's South End following the collapse of a real estate boom. At that time the College hired Eddie A. Perez, an experienced Hartford community leader, as director of community relations, and began developing a multi-faceted, collaborative, and activist approach to neighborhood revitalization. Progress is accumulating impressively, especially in the area immediately north of the campus, which has served as a testing ground for the new outreach. About a dozen projects are now underway there, including a new police substation, neighborhood cleanups, efforts to improve lighting and sanitation, a new community garden, and several housing rehabilitation programs. To achieve this, the College has collaborated with a working coalition of neighbors and institutional partners in the area. There is now a sense that the College has laid the necessary groundwork to support an ev:en higher level ofleadership, initiative, and investment. In September, Chairman Alfred]. Koeppel '54 appointed the ad hoc Committee on Urban Strategies, which is composed of trustees and administrators, to assess progress and consider further efforts. The group includes all of the trustees from the Hartford area, and a number of others who have already been active in the College's .efforts. The group is chaired by Henry M. Zachs '56, president of Message Center USA, Inc. in Hartford. The Hartford-based trustees are: Eileen S. Kraus M'65, the president of Shawmut Bank in Connecticut; Worth Loomis, Visiting Professor of Faith and Life at Hartford Seminary and president emeritus of the Hartford Graduate Center, and William]. Eakins '66, the rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Hartford.

The remaining trustees on the committee are Douglas T. Tansill '61, managing director of Kidder Peabody & Co. in New York; Paul E. Raether '68, general partner in Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts, and Co. in New York; James P. Whitters, III '62, attomey, Peabody & Brown in Boston; Francisco L. Borges, Esq. '74, managing director of public finance at Financial Guaranty Insurance Company in New York and Alfred]. Koeppel '54, the chair ofKoeppel and Koeppel in New York. The College's Vice President for Finance and Treasurer Robert Pedemonti '60 and Eddie Perez also serve on the committee. Trinity's current approach is based on the development of effective collaborations. Key partners include the Southside Institutions Neighborhood Alliance (SINA), which was organized by Trinity in 1978 to coordinate the civic work of the College, Hartford Hospital and the Institute of Living; and the local neighborhood group, Hartford Areas Rally Together (HART). Partnerships with the region's business community and the city, state and federal governments are also developing. The value of Trinity's role as a catalyst is receiving increasing recognition. On August 29, for example, The Hartford Courant reported that "Trinity brings people, agencies and resources together." The College is now applying its experiences in Frog Hollow to the streets adjoining the campus to the east, south, and west. The area along Summit and Zion Streets is a particularly active focal point. This year, the College is improving landscaping, fencing and lighting in the area. The City's Park Trust is contributing to the project, which will improve the Rocky Ridge Park along Zion Street and create an attractive and safe approach to the College for neighbors and visitors arriving from I-84. The ad hoc committee is charged with developing a concrete strategy for the next phase of the effort. It will begin by evaluating current efforts and assessing the potential for an even higher level of College effort. The Committee's report and any trustee action will be covered fully next spring in the Reporter. -Andrew Walsh '79

The College in the City fo rts. T rinity is part of the neighborhood. Our immediate neighbors and Trinity have a shared agenda to minimize the deterioration of the neighborhood. This is not the self-interest of Trinity for that to happen, but the interest of th e people on Allen Place and Broad Street and the other two sister institutions of the neighborhood. We've done a lot of work to m ake sure that everybody recognizes our commitment, and that if somebody cares about something and we know about it, we'll be right there working with them. So, people know that our destinies are tied.

P ainter: I have been delighted to learn since taking office that our neighbors are very positively disposed toward Trinity. There is tremendous goodwill. O ur neighborhood is composed of thousands of people trying to make a good life for themselves and their families . T h ey want our help an d they appreciate our presence.

Reporter: Dean Reich , you're a relative newcomer to Trinity, having arrived over th e summer. What do you observe, living on campus, on Vernon Street?

sation is that he looked at the closing of Vern on Street as an opening up: he sees the College as open to him and feels the community is safer because the street is closed. It seems to me that the kinds of things we are talking about are important statements of the way we want to live and be in the City. As an institution of higher education, we are teaching the leaders of th e 21st century . These are the individuals who will have to make very important decisions about our cities. And not only should they be learning that here, but they're learning how to live responsibly in a community that lives in a city . And, this College, this community, does so in a way that does not wall itself off from the City, but works as part of th e City, grows from th e City and contributes to the City.

e WOtj ABOUT INTERNSHIPS

Internships are a form of independent study that combines supervised field work with traditional academic inquiry, under the direction of a faculty sponsor.

Trinity offers more than 200 established internships in a wide range of fields, including business and industry, social service, law, medicine, education, the arts, and government. Students can also create their own internship, subject to approval.

The internship program is open to all students, regardless of major; and students from every major do internships.

Last year, 173 Trinity students enrolled in internships with 83 organizations. This fall, 110 undergraduates have undertaken internships with 62 organizations.

.A bout half of Trinity students do at least one internship before graduating.

When the internship program started, the majority of students worked with businesses. Today, roughly half of internship placements are in the nonprofit sector.

Students rate internships and other related "real world" opportunities as one of Trinity's strongest distinctions in its family of liberal arts colleges.

Legislative Interns ge

Trinity's internship program makes it possible for students to benefit academically from our location in Hartford. By integrating experiential learning into its liberal arts curriculum, Trinity allows students to gain experience in the working world while adding depth and relevance to their more traditional classroom work. Doing an internship also improves job search skills, boosts self-confidence, and gives undergraduates valuable exposure to different career options. But whether exploring a potential career or pursuing advanced research in a specialized academic area, Trinity interns can take advantage of Hartford's rich resources and translate th~ir learning into course credit. The internship program is so popular because it meets real educational needs of Trinity students." Anne Lundberg Utz Internship Coordinator, Trinity College

just five minutes from campus, students have a convenient route for studying politics, as it is practiced. Student interns earn course credit for working either fullor part-time for individual legislators during the spring semester. All interns are required to do reading assignments and write papers, as well as participate in a seminar that links their experience w ith legislative studies more generally. Last year 10 students worked as interns for members of the Connecticut General Assembly. "Students frequently tell me at the end of their senior year that their legislative internship was the best thing they did at Trinity," says Diana Evans, associate professor of political science and director of the Legislative Internship Program. "I think that they react that way because they work closely with their representative or senator and gain an understanding of politics that is both deeper and more detailed that we can give them in classes. And because legislators in Connecticut do not have much personal staff, our interns frequently find themselves doing very important and responsible work in the General Assembly."

How students becorr

itting around a large table in a brightly lit room on the third floor ofWilliams Hall, Manijeh Zavareei and her students talk business. All 15 of the undergraduates have undertaken internships in the business field. But rather than work with individual faculty supervisors, these students are enrolled in Zavareei's biweekly seminar to fulfill the academic requirement of their field placement. "One of the things we hear from internship placements is that it would be good if students knew something about financial markets," says Zavareei, a visiting associate professor of economics who was director of multinational corporate studies at Upsala College before coming to Trinity. In response, Zavareei has her students read about and discuss financial markets, read and write about The Wall Street Journal, and follow and analyze a market of their choice. Dur-

THREE INTERNS' STORIES

Working for a U.S. senator is 'real life'

Albert C. Carbone, Jr. '95 has one piece of advice for fellow students: Do an internship. "It's one of the special things about Trinity," says Carbone, an intern this semester in U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman's office. "It's real life." In the early days of his internship with Lieberman, Carbone found himself contacting constituents, tracking down information through the Congressional Research Service, and compiling newspaper clippings. He works 12 hours a week, but, unlike Lieberman interns from colleges outside Hartford, he is able to spread his time over several days. "The other five interns only come in once a week because it is too far to travel," says Carbone, who hails from East Haven, Conn. "I like being in the office three days a week. I can get started on work and come right back to it, rather than waiting a week." A political science major with a minor in law and political institutions, Carbone undertook the internship to see how politicians approach their constituents in an election year. He expects his experience in Lieberman's office to "tie in nicely" with a seminar on American government and democratic representation that he will take in the spring with Associate Professor of Political Science Diana Evans. This is Carbone's second internship. The varsity baseball player and Tripod sports editor was an intern in the office of Trinity Sports Information Director Kevin F. Kavanagh, Jr. '93 in the fall of his junior year. "I was interested in seeing how sports information worked," Carbone says. "I thought it was just compiling statistics. I didn't know about the writing part and dealing with the media. "My writing improved tremendously, and I gained confidence deal-

''Internships provide a real-life experience in which to test interest in, and motivation for, a particular career path. For the first time, the student engages a problem for which there is no solution, an investment where real money is either lost or found, a policy where real people will be affected. lhe result is a meaningful assessment, made on the basis of firsthand experience, about a vocational path. My personal involvement with supervising internships has resulted in students' becoming highly enthusiastic about their choices, but every now and then the response is: 'Hey, it was a great experience, but I know now that is not a field I want to pursue.' lruly, there is no other way for students to come to such a conclusion before committing themselves totally to a particular career path ."

ing with people," he adds. "Kevin gave me a lot of responsibility, and I learned a lot." Carbone continues to work in Sports Information and is the voice on Trinity's recorded sports information line (203/297-2001). Carbone also finds time to volunteer in the Neighborhood Posse, which pairs Trinity students with children from the surrounding area for academic and extracurricular activities.

This intern finds action backstage W hen Louisiana native Michael E. Robertson II '95 isn't on stage, he's preparing for a career behind the scenes. The talented singer and actor entered Trinity bound for a career in medicine, but eventually changed his major to his first love: music. Although happier in his new major, he found that career considerations were a concern. "I love to perform, but I'm not going to do it forever," he explains. He's decided to attend a graduate program

in arts administration after Trinity. "This will be a way ofkeeping the arts with me every day of my life," he says. This fall, Robertson is doing an internship at The Horace Bushnell Memorial Hall, one of the country's most respected performing arts centers, located five minutes from Trinity. Robertson considered a number of options for his entry into arts administration-the Hartford Symphony, the Hartford Ballet, and the Hartford Stage Company all were looking for interns-but he chose The Bushnell because it presents a variety of performing arts. In his internship Robertson was scheduled to work on two major projects: compiling biographies of Broadway's brightest as candidates for the 1995 Horace Bushnell Awards and researching possible corporate support for The Bushnell. Although assigned to the development office, Robertson says he is a "sponge" and is learning as much as he can about all facets of the arts center. From a practical standpoint, Robertson hopes his Bushnell experience will make him an attractive candidate for graduate school. Personally,

he is feeding his fascination with "the back side of the arts." "Take Les Mis, for instance," he says, recalling the Bushnell's September presentation of the musical Les Miserables. "We all show up with our tickets in our hands and sit in our seats, but prior to that-years prior to thatpeople have been working to make it happen." A native of Bunkie, La., Robertson graduated from the Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts. He applied to 11 colleges but chose Trinity. "Trinity was exactly what I wanted: a small, liberal arts college in a city with opportunities, like internships, in the community," he says. He says Hartford's proximity to both New York City and Boston was also a: plus. Robertson has been a member of the Student Government Association, the Chapel Singers and the Concert Choir, and is a resident assistant. He is one of four founding members of the Accidentals singing group; and he has appeared in every musical theater production since he arrived at Trinity, with the exception of the semester he studied in Vienna. He also works 10-

An internship that continues a tradition of community service For someone so young, Jennifer A. Hill '95 has a long history of community service. She began working in soup kitchens in high school and participated in many outreach projects through her church, including one in Puerto Rico. During her two weeks on the island, the Bristol, Conn. native taught English and worked in soup kitchens and a day care center. At Trinity, she has been involved with several community service programs, including the Frog Hollow Recreation Program, Habitat For Humanity, and the first Alternative Spring Break Trip to Homestead, Fla., which she coordinated with another Trinity student. Last year, she coordinated "The Hartford Experi-

ence," a part of Trinity's orientation program designed to help new students adapt to College life. Tours of internship and volunteer opportunities were a feature of the program. Hill's own internship experience was a yearlong commitment to Family Life Ministries of Hartford. The internship fulfilled a requirement of her minor in Studies in Progressive American Social Movements. That minor explores the political, economic, cultural, ethical, and religious factors that give rise to progressive social movements and the relationship between academic study of these movements and practical political activity. "You can learn theory in the classroom, but knowledge alone is useless without the chance to put it into action," says Hill, an economics major. "I've been able to do that here at Trinity." As an intern with Family Life Ministries, Hm arranged for teenage mothers to speak to high school students, urging them to stay in school and practice safe sex. She also researched legislation regarding welfare reform and other matters affecting young mothers. "We were working for welfare and school reform, but most important is the empowerment of these women who have been told that they are worthless, that they would never amount to anything, that they should just give up," Hill says. "Now, many of them want to be the presidents and senators of tomorrow, to go back into their communities and advocate reform in the areas where they know it is needed." Hill was the student coordinator and a two-year resident of PRAXIS, a Trinity dormitory for students devoted to community service. In that capacity, she organized group events in which students

worked to improve Trinity's neighborhood in many different ways. Some of the diverse projects undertaken recently have included clothing drives, the painting ofboarded-qp windows in blighted buildings, neighborhood cleanups with a community organization, and an AIDS benefit that raised $1,500 for AIDS Project Hartford and Latinos(as) Contra SIDA. PRAXIS members also have hosted community speakers and conducted movie nights on controversial community issues. In addition, each member is independently involved in his/her own cornmunity service commitment. As a senior, Hill has continued her involvement in community issues. She is the agency chairperson for the Community Outreach Steering Board, and the programming director and executive board member ofWRTC, the College's radio station. "Everyone is an individual who has different things they can bring to life," Hill says. -Eliz abeth A. Natale

Making ties between the City and the curriculum I Pew grant fuels new initiatives

Students and faculty use the resources of the City in research. Here, a student makes a presentation in a psychology class.

nitiatives tying Trinity's classical liberal arts education to the City have earned a $250,00 grant from The Pew <;=haritable Trusts. The award from the Trusts will help fund four central elements ofTrinity's ambitious Urban Curricular Initiative, designed to take fuller advantage of Connecticut's capital city as an educational resource and give its liberal arts curriculum an urban focus. Funding provided by the Trusts will be used to: + Design and implement an Urban Guided Studies Program-an interdisciplinary, honors-level curriculum for selected freshmen that will examine cities in a wide range of historical and cultural contexts and from the perspectives of a variety of humanities and social scienc e fields. + Create 20 courses on urban themes, to ensure that Trinity undergraduates have ample opportunity to make the study of cities an important part of their liberal education. + Expand instructional use of Hariford-based professionals, as classroom teachers and in a wide variety of other capacities. + Implement the first three in a series of annual Urban Issues Forums at w hi ch elected officials, policy analysts, journalists, and academic specialists will explore urgent problems facing American cities, for the benefit of audiences comprising members of the general public as well as the Trinity community. Planning for, and implementation of, these initiatives w ill take place through the end of the 1997-98 academic year. "We are extremely grateful to The Pew Charitable Trusts for this important gift, which w ill allow us to engage Hartford even more deeply that we have in the past," said President Borden W. Painter, Jr. '58. Other elements of Trinity's Urban Curricular Initiative include: + Expanding the College's already strong internship program, which enables undergraduates to earn credit for field work in government or nonprofit agencies, schools, cultural institutions, or corporations in Hartford while taking up to four regular路 courses ..

As assistant coordinator of community service at Trinity, Clayton Hurd '92 works on the College's c urrent program to increase the ties between the curriculum and the City. There could be no better match for the job. At Trinity, when the subject of students in community service comes up, the name of Clayton Hurd invariably follow s. Hurd was recruited from Norwich Free Academy in Norwich, Conn. to play football for Trinity. He played for a couple of years, but, he says, "I found out that my interests lay elsewhere. My focus changed." During h is sophomore year his interest had shifted to community service, beginning with a Habitat for Humanity project, assigned to him when he w as a work-study student in Trinity's community service office. "I really enjoyed that experience," he recalls. "I found that my focus was more on dealing with issues and people in the community than on campus." Next came an internship with the Connecticut Anti-Hunger Coalition, where he worked with homeless and low- and middle-income people in Hartford. He saw the need for institutional change at Trinity, too. "We had no recycling project," he says. "I met with the administration and wrote a proposal to start a recycling program. That's how the program that the College has now was started. I'm glad to see it's still going.

"Mter my junior year I went to Ecuador. After that summer I did an internship in the City of Hartford Food System. I helped to design a nutrit ion educa tion program to accompany community farm stands in three of the lowest income neighborhoods in the city. I managed Trinity's radio station that summer." As a senior Hurd received the Thomas J. W atson Fellowship to study education in indigenous communities and culture r ights in Central and South America. "Having that community experience at Trinity opened doors for me and gave me the experience and the motivation to work with peoples of other cultures on community issues, in this case, education." After the Watson year, Hurd was a VISTA volunteer with the San Francisco Food Bank before returning to Trinity. In the community service office, he admin isters student programs and looks for ways to incorporate service with academic study. "Since we have the City here," he says, "why not do a better job of incorporating the city into the curriculum, as some professors have?"

Connecting with the City in 1 Urban Politics' BY CLYDE

D. McKEE, JR.

"We will be engaged in connected learning, " I tell my students in urban politics . What do I mean by this? I tell my students that each one of them possesses valuable resources which can contribute to our understanding of urban politics . To tap these resources we have to connect and , if necessary, restructu re the goals and objectives of our course.

In place of a midterm eory paper I substitute a eries of short (one-two ages) papers based on 路 m tours of Hartford . For e first paper the students rm small teams (two-four dents), select dates, mes, and routes for their rs of the one-two blocks urrounding the Trinity comus, and relate what they to the concepts, theoes, and urban problems are studying. The objechere is to connect the dents directly to the eighborhood in which they live . Each class assignment in Political Science 21 8 poses questions, along with readings, that lead students to think about life in cities, especially Hartford . So, I a sk, for instance : How would you describe America's urban situation to a foreigner who has never been to America? To what extent do cars destroy cities? Should schools be privatized? Has the political influence of American cities de. eli ned? Does America have a nationa l urban policy? Is there a powe r elite in Hartford or does Hartford have democratic pluralism? The authors of our basic路

text define comprehensively what these concepts mean , but these authors leave it to us to find out how useful these concepts are for understanding a particular urban area. We try to connect the known with the unknown in theory and reality. The second short paper calls for a team tour that w ill take small groups of students from the Trinity campus to City Hall . As they make this tour they are encou raged to apply what they have learned from the articles they have read about urban issues : unemployment, abandoned buildings, traffic, noise, poverty, parks, etc . " When you get to City Ha ll ," I say, "vis it the reg istrar of voters office, whe re you can become a registered voter, a ffiliate w ith a party, and become a connected and active citizen in our city.

$580)000 grantftom HUD helps neighborhood partnerships T

he College has received a $580,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to create a Community Outreach Partnership Center Program at Trinity that will analyze neighborhood challenges and develop new strategies for revitalization. The twoyear grant was announced at a community kickoff on Parents' Weekend with U.S . Congresswoman and former trustee Barbara B. Kennelly M'71 (D-lst CT) and Hartford Mayor Mike Peters participating. Trinity President Borden Painter, Jr. '58, Professor of Economics and community activist Diane Zannoni, and Charlene Williams '86, executive director of Asylum Hill Organizing Project (AHOP), also addressed the crowd.

creasing involvement in efforts to improve the quality of life in our own neighborhood, as well as the City at large." The center is scheduled to open in a Trinity-owned building on New Britain Avenue in 1995 with satellite offices in the Frog Hollow, Asylum H ill, Clay-Arsenal and Northeast neighborhoods of Hartford, and in the Arch Street area of New Britain.

Posing solutions The following remarks are excerpted from an interview with Eugene Leach, professor of American studies and history, on KCBS Radio in San Francisco. Professor Leach was among Trinity's participating faculty in California for the Trinity Alumni College program., "The American City at a Crossroads." KCBS: The Los Angeles riots were a wake-up call for America. Do you see it as a reflection of the despair in our cities?

Leach: I do very much. I think the L.A. riots are a statement of a sense oflost opportunities - diminishing opportunities - for new immigrants into the cities w ho have witnessed jobs going elsewhere while they are still there. L.A. is a 路ign of distress for all of urban America.

than diminished over the past 20 to 30 years, since the civil rights movement, those antagonisms have been focused and magnified in the cities. And so almost any movement toward racial understanding, wherever that comes from, can have positive consequences for the health of cities. KCBS: There's so much concern about

KCBS: What are some of the approaches

that should be taken? Leach: Cities were centers of commerce

and culture long before they were centers of industry. Perhaps they can remain centers of commerce and culture even after industry has largely left them. That is really the basic condition that we face in this country - that the whole economy has undergone a deindustrialization. Industrial jobs that used to provide opportunities for urban residents have gone elsewhere - to the suburbs or other countries. The great question for the future is whether cities can re-establish themselves once again as commercial and cultural centers. KCBS: What are some things that c~n

be done to improve the lives of people who live in cities? Leach: One solution lies in regionalizing responsibility for government and services in the inner cities. Beyond that, the fact is that the history of cities has a great deal to do with the history of racial antagonism in this country, and unfortunately as racial conflict has grown rather

crime in the inner cities. What do you think about the "three strikes" movement? Do you think that's a part of the solution to reducing crime? Leach: I have strong doubts about any approach that would automatically jail people for long terms after three felonies, or for that matter, two felonies or one. I think there has been a tendency, especially over the past 20 years to take an increasingly ungenerous and even punitive approach to the poor people - the predominantly poor people of color who now make up the majorities in inner cities. I'm not sure that will yield any sort of payoff, certainly not for those people, or, for that matter, for the predominantly white suburbs around the cities. The basic problem. is lack of opportunity. It's not bad values; it's not bad culture. I don't think the problem is basically bad behavior. It really is the fact that we live in a different economy and we have a different society from the one that rather easily assimilated immigrants and poor people a century or even 50 years ago. Unfortunately, we have lost a lot of that absorbative power. And so, crime is understandable itself as an ex-

pression of despair. I'm afraid that a purely punitive approach to crime as opposed to an effort to re-establish opportunity is not likely to bear fruit.

Finkbeiner offers new approaches as Toledo's mayor

n his first year in office, Toledo, Ohio 路 Mayor Carty Finkbeiner, Jr. '61 has already made progress in his bid to revitalize the city. Elected last November, Finkbeiner has gained national attention for three programs designed to put gang members and other city kids to work. The Anti Graffiti Program, Green Team and Young Artists at Work have provided jobs for these youths, and beautified Toledo. Last spring, the Mayor visited 25 members of one local gang and told them he would find themjobs if they cleaned up their act. An hour later, all 25 were in the waiting room at City Hall.

ing. I wish we had others coming out of their offices and personally taking up for a child. T hat's what it takes to save kids." Following up on this success, the City's Youth Commission has created a comn1ittee of 50 people, including the mayor, to discuss ways to curb violence in the city. In the second effort, the Neighborhood Improvement Foundation of Toledo's Green Team found work for 15 city kids, planting trees aro und the city, and flo wer gardens at parks, housing proj ects and government buildings. Another summer program, Young Artists at Work, put 40 city kids, aged 14-21, to work as apprentice artists,

working alongside professional art instructors, producing art for sale. Support for the $130,000 program came from private businesses, private donors , and the city government, along with the National Endowment for the Arts . Another program serving at-risk youth , the Youth Family Connection Program, requires curfew violators and their parents to attend two sessions of the program, w hich is designed to introduc e the law to young p eople and to keep them out of the criminal justice system. Since the program's inception two years ago, more than 600 juveniles have been cited or warned for curfew violation, but there have been just 39 second-time and six third- time offenders.

did the half marathon on Saturday, limped directly to the massage tent, then hopped in my car to head home. I had to pick up my daughter for the Hooker Day Parade. So I listened to Scott Gray's spirited call of the finish of the Aetna Health Plans Hartford Marathon on WTIC-AM: " .. .It's number nine, Alexander Magoun!" Huh? Is that the Alex Magoun I know? It certainly was. There couldn't have been a more appropriate winner of H artford's first marathon. Magoun, 36, is a whippet-thin, youthful, brown-haired man, bookish and blessed with a wit. He was, it seemed, everywhere in Hartford in the 1980s, running, coaching, teaching, even showing movies. He left the city in 1989 for graduate school in Maryland, but kept his interest in Hartford. Last year, he wrote a 10page plan on how to revitalize downtown Hartford and circulated it to several civic leaders. Magoun graduated from Trinity College in 1981 , and stayed in the city. He quickly made a name for himself in the running community. In 1982 he won a 10K in downtown Hartford after eating a huge pancake breakfast.

Trinity's urban location although it had not been a positive influence on my decision to attend Trinity. As voted to the Industrial Revolution. Why not here, where it took place? I don't know if this is the answer to Hartford's prayers, but I like the way Magoun frames the problem. First, he says, city officials - particularly those in provincial or regional cities - have to ask themselves some basic questions, such as, Should we continue to exist? If so, and I think so, w hat is our purpose? What can we offer that suburbs lack? Cities should be major employment centers, Magoun feels, and can also offer regional and national tourist attractions. These attractions, he said, should be clustered together so people can walk to them, something they can't do in communities based entirely on cars and telecommunications. His Hartford dream would start with w hat he calls The Connecticut Technology Museum in the old G. Fox . T his would exhibit the great technological activities that have taken place "in the river valleys between New

a prospective student I heard a lot about the strong internship programs available. I wasn't too impressed. When I was a high school senior I was more concerned about what kind of dorm I would live in and how the food was than what career development opportunities were offered. However, I interned with an advertising agency and The Hartford Courant. That was when I appreciated the diversity of extra-campus opportunities available in the Hartford area. Certainly many of Trinity's sister institutions are in communities too small to support the variety of businesses that welcome Trinity students to learn on the job each semester. The experience of working at a metropolitan daily newspaper was challenging and exciting for me and I am glad 11 that it was available.

ollege in the city is one of several building blocks that keep a city vibrant. Trinity's many partnerships in community affairs, housing, economic development and governance bring a perspective to issues that otherwise might be missed. There is no do ubt that the college student body gains an extra dimension in its education through participating in the day to day real life of a city.

Elizabeth Brad N oel Member, Hartford Board of Education Retired, Guidance Chairperson, Weaver High School

y first memory of Trinity is a weekend party when I was still a Hall High School senior but that was many years ago, and Trinity seemed a world away from my sheltered West Hartford life. My more enduring memories are of sharing the experiences of my Weaver students who have had the oppo~;tunity to attend Trinity Upward Bound programs over the past 22 years as well as others who entered Trinity as freshmen. Trinity is a world away from nonh Hartford and Weaver High School. Our students have learned to live in that world, and I believe that Trinity has benefitted from their presence, for the college is, and must

continue to be, a part of the vibrant, multicultural city of Hanford.

We're both institutions that share a long history in the city of Hartford, and we're both committed to being a positive force in the comnmn.ity. Our newsroom wrote about Trinity this past summer in a series entitled, "Street smart: colleges face up to urban realities." While reading the series, I was struck by how very involved Trinity is, on a grassroots level, with the Hartford community. I think the city is very fortunate to have Trinity located here .

Engineering ~arns coveted national accreditation

. '. . ... . .... ...

Trinity's bachelor of science degree in engineering recently received full certification from the Accrediration Board for Engineering & Technology (ABET). The College's award was effective im.mediately, providing the Class of '94 with accredited degrees. The engineering program was recognized in ABET's "non-traditional" category. The board recently adopted more flexible guidelines that allowed Trinity's program to qualify without changes to the curriculum. According to David Ahlgren '64, chair of the engineering and computer science department, Trinity and Swarthmore College are the only national liberal arts colleges in the country with accredited engineering programs. Trinity's accreditation represents the culmination of a twoyear application process. The engineering and computer science department conducted one full year of self-study, reviewing the quality of the curriculum, lab equipment and facilities, as well as support from the College and other academic programs. he department then presented a twovolume report to ABET as part of the request for approval. "This accreditation guarantees that Trinity's bachelor of science degree in engineering is perceived as equal to degrees from traditional engineering programs," says Ahlgren. "It supports Trinity graduates' competing for graduate school and career placements, and it will help Trinity's admissions.

We're pretty happy." Trinity's engineering program dates back to 1905 and counts nearly 500 alumni since 1935. Since 1980, the number of majors in each graduating class has ranged from 8 to 22.

Greeks begin coeducation • •••• •• •• •• • With the Board of Trustees' mandate of complete Greek coeducation by the fall of 199 5

in mind, the dean of students' office has had ongoing communications with the recognized Greek organizations on campus this fall. Offi~ers of the College's fraternities and sororities met with Associate Dean of Students Kirk Peters at the beginning of the academic year to coordinate efforts in the coeducation process. The dean of students' office has also told them that all pledge classes this year must be

coed. If organizations are unsuccessful in attracting both men and women, ~ ocial restriction penalties will be placed on those groups and College recognition could eventually be lost. The primary social penalty will be the College 's refusal to approve parties, for which fraternities and sororities are required to obtain liquor permits and fire marshal authorization. The Greek community has expressed concerns about co-

education. Some organizations may lose national charter support, which often provides funding for houses and insurance. Even more pressing, a few groups are in poor standing with city housing officials because their living quarters have been deemed in questionable condition. Two groups on campus are looking at one possible solution to the coeducation mandate. The Alpha Delta Phi fraternity and Tri Delta sorority are considering a merger to satisfy the coed obligation. The Tri Deltas recently voted to remove themselves from their national charter and have expressed interest in complying w ith the mandate. Other organizations are forming coed groups and eating clubs or are enhancing coed policies already in place. The dean of students' office recently hired Robert Fekert, a graduate intern, to serve as an adviser for Trinity's Interfraternity Council (IF C). Having served as a Greek Affairs graduate intern at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Fekert will provide support for the College's Greek community to comply with the mandate .

New Alcohol policy introduced

... ... . ....... .

In an effort to create safer, more comfortable residence halls for students, the College has prohibited the serving of beer from kegs in all dormitories. This measure, which became effective when students returned to campus in August, already applied to freshman dorms. The penalty for any student who violates it is removal from housing. A letter from the deans of students to undergraduates stated, "Many of us have long

been aware of the problems that result from allowing kegs in our residence halls, and over the past three years committees of students, faculty , and administrators have studied the role of alcohol on campus. By their very nature , kegs invite large parties with free-flowing beer, and these are the kinds of gatherings our dormitories cannot physically sustain." Kirk Peters, associate dean of students, reports that to date, the number of complaints about parties is down.

A 'new' Mather highlights campus Improvements •••• •

......

Mather Hall's third major facelift since its completion in 1960 has resulted in dramatic improvements throughout the building. The renovations, begun last spring, were a highlight of the College's construction and renovation efforts during the summer. The project was completed in October, although it was open for use by students when they arrived in late August.

Above, the east facade of the "new" Mather Hall, and below, students have lunch in the renovated Cave.

The Mather renovations include: •Lower level areas which are much more open, including the post office , with new mailboxes for each student; an expanded, brighter Cave (the student snack bar); and a new game room, student activity office center, and improved circulation corridor. •Main floor featuring an expanded lobby with new reception and administrative centers, new restrooms, and new central staircase connecting the

lower level and second-floor lobbies . •Second-floor space created as part of the project's final phase and providing additional meeting facilities for the Women's Center. Elsewhere on campus, the McCook auditorium was renovated and equipp ed with technology upgrades this summer. In addition to new carpeting and paint, new, permanent tablet anTl seating was installed in October.

Class of '98 shows quality, diversity • The 4 73 members of the Class of '98 were drawn from the second highest total number of applications (3009) in the past six years, according to Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid David Borus '68 . " All of us who worked to bring this class to Trinity are very pleased with the quality and diversity of the group," says Borus.

Carillon gets much-needed tune-up

Restored bells are 32

' The

bells of the carillon ring out now with a brighter, clearer sound, thanks to a month-long restoration completed in September. The work was done by Taylor Bellfounders of Loughborough, England, the foundry that originally cast the carillon in 1930. "This restoration was long overdue," says Daniel K. Keho e '78 , w ho was appointed Trinity's first carillonneur in 1982. " The 60 years since its installation in 1932 have been hard on the carillon, and it was deteriorating rapidly." Two studies done by Taylor pointed out the serious rusting of the bellframe, the clappers and the playing mechanism. The later study pointed out the accelerated deterioration, brought on by the constan t exposure to the H artford atmosphere. The restoration effort reverses the deterioration, and improves the sound of the bells and its playability for the performer. T aylor's wo rk to restore the instrument to its

original 1932 condition cost just over $40 ,000; it would have cost $500,000 to replace the entire 49-bell carillon. 路Som.e of the money for the proj.ect cam e from the carillon aficionados w ho attend the summer concerts on the Quad. The Trinity carillon has the distinction ofbeing th e site where the professional carillonneurs' organization was founded in 1934 by prominent carillonneurs and leaders, including then-Trinity President Remsen Ogilby. Ogilby, whose inspiration helped establish the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America, was so enamored w ith the carillon that he himselflearned to play, setting the stage for many T rinity students and faculty who have learned to play the instrument over the years. The restorers from Taylor repainted the bellframe steelwork (which had not been done since 1932), repaired or replaced the bolts holding up the bells, and adjusted all the

transmission wires and bars which connect the carillon's baton-style keyboard to the clappers inside the bells. As work began on August 29 and bells were removed from the bellframe, the Taylor work crew discovered that the carillon's condition was much worse than expected. Two of the headstock bolts holding up two mid-sized bells broke off as they were being removed for painting, and most other bolts were so severely expanded by rust and corrosion that they risked cracking the bells themselves. Although there was no present danger of a bell falling off, Graham Knight, Taylor's head technician cautioned, "In just a few more years there could have been some serious problems!" Knight added that he has found similar stages of deterioration in many of the other 180 carillons in North America, many of which were

cast and installed during a carillon revival in the first half of this century. Significant effort was directed at reconditioning the clappers, the metal arm and ball that hang inside each bell and strike the side to produce the ring. Over the last 60 years, the constant striking of the clappers against the bells had flattened the ball of each clapper to the point that the bells sounded dull, even outof-tune. The repaired clappers will produce the most noticeable improvement in the carillon's sound; Kehoe says that alone will make the carillon sound like new. Kehoe will make optimal use of the new bell tones when he creates the first-ever recording of the Trinity carillon. The tape and CD recording should be available for purchase through the alumni office next year.

Don Miller surpasses Dan Jessee's record On October 22, Trinity'sfootball Bantams recorded a historic 39-0 win over Bowdoin, for in that win Coach Don Miller passed the career record of the College's legendary Coach Dan Jessee. The following article, which appeared in The Hartford Courant on September 16, anticipated that big day. The article is reprinted with permission from The Hartford Courant.

Miller finds The perfeÂŁt plaÂŁe BY ToM YANTZ Courant Staff Writer

halkboards line three of the walls of the cramped room. A VCR remote control, with slow-motion and rewind buttons as worn as the play button, sits on a table amid a clutter of note pads, pens, crumpled papers and coffee mugs. When strangers walk into the third-floor room at the Ferris Athletic Center at Trinity College, football coach Don Miller smiles and shakes their hands. Then he moves to the chalkboards ~nd erases them. This is the football staff coaches' room. But during the season it is really the coach's room, Miller's room. This room - not his official second-floor office where team pictures and awards and some individual plaques are arranged neatly on four shelves - is where plays and game plans are devised and revised. Not far away from the building, in a shaded grassy area, is where his wife, Joan, used to unpack a picnic basket so she, Don and their children - Sharon, Linda and Dan - could enjoy a family dinner between preseason double-session practices. "It was a chance to see Dad when he was real busy," Sharon says. "Those picnics were great fun, running around, playing. We thought it was the greatest thing in the world." The Miller children are adults now. Sharon, 38, and Linda, 3 7, are married and live in W ~thersfield, where their parents still live. Dan, 33, is single and lives in Marina Del Rey, CaliÂŁ Last fall, Joan, her children, their spouses and her seven grandchildren were with Miller Nov. 13 at Dan Jessee Field -just a few passes away from the family's former picnic site. Seconds after Trinity had defeated Wesleyan 32-8, players emptied a bucket of ice water on Miller. He then was embraced in one big hug by family, friends and former players to celebrate Trinity's first undefeated, untied season (8-0) since 1955. But it took him a few moments to realize one of those well-wishers was Dan, who had flown in unannounced from California. Miller shook his head and in a hoarse voice

said, "This is my happiest year as coach." Miller, now in his 28th season, has had many happy years as Trinity's head coach because family and football have been the two constants of his life. There should be another celebration soon. With a record of 148-63-5, Miller is three victories from breaking Jessee's career record (150-767, 1932-42, '46-66) to become T rinity's winningest football coach. ''I'd like to get there as fast as we can because it will be good for the college and good fo r the team because there'll be less distractions if it happens quickly, " Miller says. Trinity opens its season at home against Colby Sept. 24 and plays at Williams Oct. 1. Jessee's record could fall at H amilton Oct. 8. Trinity, the top-ranked New England Division III team in the final Eastern College Athletic Conference poll last season , has won 11 consecutive games over the past two years and has had 14 consecutive winning seasons. Miller, five-time New England small college coach of the year, ranks seventh nationally in victories among active Division III coaches. He has had 24 winning seasons. "Trinity does not have the depth of players like a Notre Dame," former Harvard coach Joe Restic says. "But Don has a

keen football mind. He's willing to listen to new ideas. He has been able to take what he sees on the national scene and project it into his program to players of that ability level and make it work. That's a gift." So why has Miller, 61 , remained at Trinity, a private college in Hartford with an undergraduate enrollment of 1,750? Miller had other coaching opportunities early in his career: to be an assistant coach at Iowa and Colorado State, and head coach at Dartmouth and Princeton. The most tempting offer probably was to be an assistant to Bud Wilkinson at Oklahoma. "I was more goal-oriented then, when I was an assistant at Amherst [1959- 64]," Miller says. "I thought being an assistant would be the logical step to being a Division I head coach. But I knew my family would be hurt with me on the road recruiting. I had three young children. "I didn't want to be a coach that was up in a tower overseeing things, instead of down on

the field. At Division I, you can lose that hands-on everything teaching and that contact with the players that's not just for four years . Those things were important to me." Ron Duckett, second in career receptions (154) at Trinity, experienced Miller's sensitivity to the total football person before the home game against Bowdoin last season. "I was walking around Ferris before the game and I ran into him," says Duckett, a 1974 graduate. "I live in Philadelphia and hadn' t been back to see a game in a while. He asked me about my family and myself He brought me into the locker room and introduced me to the players. Now I know how other guys felt when they came back. He did the same thing with his former players when I played, too." Miller might not have enjoyed such a connection with his players at Oklahoma. This and the possibility of straining those close ties with his family were why Miller decided it was not OK to work at Oklahoma. "I know I made the right deci-

sion," he says. Miller remained at Amherst until 1965, when he moved to Trinity. He was an assistant for two seasons under Jessee. Jessee enjoyed working his players, especially in practice. Miller does, too, advising players and then clapping his hands at the successful execution of a play. "Jessee was an excellent offensive coach. That's where we spent most of our time," M iller says. ~ He was an old-school coach who had the ultimate power and told people what to d 0. , After Miller had succeeded Jessee, who retired before the 1967 season, he worried he was spending too much time with football and away from his family. Fourteen-hour workdays during the preseason and season were common. Joan and her children accepted this as a job requirement for Miller. "Even today I know he still feels he wasn't home enough for us growing up," Linda says. "We never felt that way. We had more time with him and camped out every

summer. We camped across America a couple of times." In Miller's early years at T rinity, he brough t w ith him some wing-T tendencies . He had learned these at the University ofDelaware, where he started every game for four years at quarterbac;k an d was a fi rst-team Little All-American his senior year, 1954. M iller's early Trinity teams used wing-T, pro-set and!formation offenses. The multiflex, a collection of multiple fo rmations and running and passing plays, developed. M iller says there are about 200 possible plays in the multiflex. " We want to take advantage of the defense," says Miller, w hose Bantams have ranked fi rst or second in total offense in the New England Small College Athletic Conference five consecutive seasons . "They have a few films to study us. We want them to be thinking, 'What are they going to run and from what fo rnn tion?'" The usual pregame concern for Trinity's opponents is just that. "I've been here 22 years as an assistant or head coach and usually in the first game of the year Don goes pretty much with a straight game plan, but he 's holding his cards," W illiams coach D ick Farley says. "By the time you play him, he unloads both offensive barrels on you. " M iller's offense is based on preparation and precision. He always has met with quarterbacks three or four times a week in the early evening after practice to talk about reading and reacting to defenses. "That kind of preparation helped me immensely for the NFL," says former Green Bay Packers (1985-86) quarterback J oe Shield, the alltime passing leader at Trinity with 6,646 yards. And Miller is forever scratching out plays and formations on anything he can find the newspaper sports section while watching Sunday NFL games , Sharon's grammar-

school test paper, any scrap where he can diagram., as Dan says, "that perfect play that's undefensible." "Napkins , envelopes, placemats at restaurants - any blank piece of paper is fair game," says J oan, M iller's wife of39 years. Wesleyan coach Frank Hauser says Trinity usually is his team's toughest tactical matchup. "Teams that you know what they're going to run, you have to beat physically," he says. "Trinity is like a chess match. You probably could watch their game films of the last six years and still might see something new when you play them." This and hours in front of the VCR projector, on the practice field and in the coaches' room are preparations for eight Saturday afternoons . In the season when leaves

and kickoffs are tumbling down, Miller runs with his players onto the field before the game, while his family and some former players find seats in the bleachers. "When I was in the first grade, my Sunday school teacher wrote on a piece of paper, 'Love is Dan cheering for his dad's team, even when they are losing,"' Dan says. " After I brought it home, my dad put it right up on his bedroom wall ." Miller has enjoyed more winning Saturdays than losing ones. "Everyone likes to win, but there probably can't be a lonelier feeling for a coach than to be out there after a loss and no one is there with you," Linda says. "When we were babies, we were at the games in strollers. Some of the family or all of us have been there for every one of Dad's games."

And when Dan played tigh t end at Bates (1980-83), Joan saw every one of his games, except one because of a family illness. Most required ninehour round trips by car to Lewiston, Maine . When a Trinity game ends, members of Miller's family j oin him on the field, where parents and fans mingle and players line up to shake hands with their opponents. Pat McNamara, a wide receiver at Trinity 1977-79, says there usually are at least 15 former players ready to shake Miller's hand. "It's like a receiving line," McNamara says. "Everyone wants to see Coach because in a sense we are a family . It doesn't matter if you haven't seen him in 20 years. He knows every player's name and what they're doing. You feel like you never left."

her record to 200-51-13. Under Sheppard's leadership, the College's field hockey team.s have won four consecutive Northeast Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (NIAC) titles (1984-87) and advanced to the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) finals three times, including one championship in 1992. Last season, she guided her team to the National Collegiate Ath-

letic Association (NCAA) final four in its first year of eligibility for the tournament. In addition, Sheppard's teams have averaged 13 wins and only two losses per season over the last 10 years. " The field hockey players who have played at Trinity have provided me with memories and milestones that some coaches I'm sure never get to experience in their entire careers," says Sheppard. "We've had NIAC and ECAC championships, we've had undefeated seasons, an NCAA final-four appearance and now, victory number 200. I just hope that all those who have played field hockey for me since 197 4 realize their contribution and how much I respect and thank them for it." Sheppard is also the head coach of the women's lacrosse team, holding a career record of 159-50-5. Since 1986 she has been an associate professor of physical education and serves as the assistant athletic director.

Coach Robin Sheppard with her team.

Winter Outlooks Men's Squash W ith nine of the top 11 players returning from last year's teatn, Coach John Anz has plenty of reason to be optimistic for this season. Last year players improved as the season progressed and many finished the season with the momentum to carry into the new year. According to C oach Anz, "Last year we learned a great deal about success and failure. W e had our fill ofboth. Our early season successes unknowingly fostered a complacency and fals e sense of security, leading to a late season failure that served as our wakeup call. Last season is proof that it is always darkest just before the dawn. The season-ending tournament proved to be our brightest hour." Leading the way for the Bantams this season will be sop homore Michael Bittner. Bittner came to Trinity as one of the nation's top junior players and did not disappoint, finishing the season w ith an 11-1 record against many of the top collegiate players in the country. Bittner is a strong, quick player who has tremendous racquet skills. Behind Bittner will be senior co-captain R yan O'Connell. O ' Connell , a letterwinner in baseball also, has an enormo us amount of athletic talent and is capable of physically dominating his opponents. O 'Connell was honored with Most Improved Player honors last season.

SolidifYing the middle of the line-up w ill be seniors Harrison Mullin and Christian Bullitt and-junior Austin Perkins. Mullin, a co-captain w ith O'Connell, is a tremendous competitor, has had three very successful seasons so far, and will look to make his senior campaign one to remember. Bullitt is a powerful player with good skills. His strength and determination have allowed him to carry the play and control his opponents. 路 Perkins, w ho was voted Most Improved Player after his freshman season, has enjoyed two full seasons of varsity competition, the only junior to do so. His excellent speed and great on-court disposition allo w him to steal games against more skilled players. Rounding out the line-up w ill be senior Adam Beard and sophomores Stephen Gregg, Tosh Belsinger, and Chris Newton. Beard has shown a tremendous amount of growth over the last three years and is a tough, gritty player. Gregg, Belsinger, and Newton all possess the necessary talents to become top varsity players, and will all play vital roles in making a successful season. Competing with them will be a solid freshman class, led by Jonathan Freeman. Freeman is described as an incredible athlete who could very easily break into the top five on the team ladder this season. Marshall Pearson is a player who has been well-coached throughout his junior career and brings w ith him excellent skills. Other freshmen are Rob Patton and Matthew Van Hoomissen.

Women's Squash The w omen's squash team will look to its veterans and experience to make the 1994-95 season one to remember. Mter finishing the season as the No. 2 team in the nation two years ago , the Bantams fell last season to a No.4 ranking. With Coach W endy Bartlett's team losing only one player to graduation-and solid depth to fill her position-the team should be able to once again

compete for the top spot. Leading the way fo r Trinity will be Captain and First-Team All-American Kate Whitmore '95. A solid veteran, Whitmore will once again hold the top spot on the Bantam ladder as she fac es the best players in the country. Whitmore has played at one of the top two positions since the end of her freshman season and is a former MVP. At the top with Whitmore will be junior Carolyn Young. Young was voted as a SecondTeam All-American, as sh e played at the No. 2 position. If she is able to continu e the momentum she had at the end of last season, Young could prove to be one of the top players in the country. , Returning at the third spot will be sophomore Margaret Hartigan. Hartigan should grow from last season's experiences and hop es to build on her freshman successes. At the fourth position is Whitney LaMotte, w ho could be among the best middle varsity players in th e co untry. A senior, LaMotte brings experience and toughness to the line-up. She will play a large part in helping the team to reach its potential. Courtney Dann, like La Motte, is a senior who brings match experience to the team. Dann and LaMotte should control the middle of the ladder throughout the season. In the sixth spot is Katie Reifenheiser. If she can m atch her experience from last season to her advantage, she could move up the ladder and prove to be a real threat. Junior M eaghan O 'Malley will round out the middle of the ladder. O'Malley was a co-winner of the Most Improved Player A ward last season and is an outstanding player. At the lower end of the varsity ladder, look for juniors Lindsay Conway and Anne C hick and senior D ebbie Nichols to make major contributions. Conway is a tough competitor with a tremendous work ethic, while Chick was named as co-MIP last season. Also looking to make an impact w ill be freshman Serena Carbonell. With such depth and skill returning this season, Coach Bartlett will settle for nothing

less than the best from her players. "Now that the team has fully adjusted to the softball, we should be ready to make a serious run at the top spots in the country," says Bartlett.

Men's Swimming The men's team w ill surely feel the loss of Luke McCarthy and John Donahue to graduation . Both men were multi-event swimmers and College record holders. Coming off a fine 7-3 season, this year's team is quite young and is likely to be hindered by a lack of depth. Th e team will be led by senior co-captains Jeff P ennington and Jared Von Arx. A premier sprinter, Pennington will team up with sophomore Tav Fitzpatrick to give the Bantams great speed in the freestyle sprints. Von Arx and J eb Gutetius '96 .bring similar strength to the middle distance events. Junior Tee Appleton and sophomore Scott H eidorn should have a great season in the distance events after a learning year in 1994. Eric Graham '96 and Tom Murray '97 w ill handle backstroke chores, and sophomore Dave McFarland should impress in the Individual Medley. Wayne Ogorzalek '95 returns as the top swimmer in both breaststroke and butterfly. The Bantams will be tops in diving with sophomore Justin Jarvis in the fold. Last year as a freshman, Jarvis established new College records in both the one- and three-m eter events and qualified for the NCAA Division III Championships. Sophomore Toufic Haddad will also be a reliable scorer, having made great progress in 1994.

Women's Swimming The women's team is very optimistic about the upcoming season. Despite the graduation of College record holders Kim Aguilar and Stephanie Cope , the team acquired some strong recruits and hopes to build on its 7-3 1993-94 record. Freestylers Cheryl Buchanan

'95 and Beth Downer '95 will co-captain the Lady Bantams . In the sprints Buchanan and Lisa Giarratano '97 are fo rmidable. Middle distance will be handled by Downer '95 and freshman Alison McBride. Distance freestyle may be a problem, but juniors Erin Finnemore and Jodie Gaudet have experience there. Caitlin Corbiere '96 and Molly Modzelewski '97 return in butterfly, and sophomores Joanna McKeigue and Courtney Hadley and frosh Nell McCarthy are likely to fill the backstroke events. Breaststroke should be a Bantam strength with veteran seniors Leslie Orlando and Sarah Stuckey back on the blocks. Individual medley will probably fall to sophomore Alyson Guild and freshman Emily Woods, although both are proficient in many events. Freshman Sasha M etznik is an exciting newcomer in the freestyle sprints. Diving will be a powerhouse event for the Lady Bantams. Four letterwinners return. Shara Abraham '96 (3-nl.eter record holder), Lisa Bartley '97 ( 1-meter record holder), Susan Church '97, and Julie Mancuso '96 will all be in the fold for 1995. If new coach Amy Williams can solve the Bantams' problems in butterfly and distance freestyle, this team could be one of the best in recent years.

Women's Basketball With three starters and nine letterwinners returning from last season's 16-7 squad, Coach Maureen Pine has a solid foundation on which to build. The key will be the team's ability to make up for the graduation loss of J en Hadfield and Kate Armstrong. Hadfield was the College's second all-time leading scorer, and Armstrong's size underneath the basket will be missed. The person most capable of replacing Armstrong and Hadfield will be senior cocaptain B.J. Toolan. Toolan, a 5-7 guard, is the team's inspirational leader and could carry the team when her game is on. She is a great passer and out-

standing shooter when on offense and is capable of knocking down the three. Also solid on defense, Toolan was the team's leader in steals last season. Alongside Toolan will be Kara Ryczek '96. Ryczek, who was the Most Improved Player on the team last season, is known best for her excellent defens e and ability to read the court. Off the bench, sophomores Katherine Anderson and Joan Kreie will lend valuable minutes. Anderson is a quick, tough defender who is also capable of driving to the basket. At forward, senior co-captain Patty Sarmuk will use her great outside shot to open up room underneath the basket by drawing defenders out to cover her. T eaming up with Sarmuk will be sophomore Sue Dinklage, who is coming off an outstanding freshman season. Rounding out the forwards will be juniors Sue Lally and Keyne Barry and sophomore Kate McCabe. Lally is a tough, physical player down low with a nice shooting touch. She will be expected to step into a starting role this season. Barry and McCabe both saw solid action last season and have the potential to succeed at this level. With the solid nucleus returning and a number of outstanding recruits entering, Coach Pine believes that this season should be an exciting one. "All of the women received valuable playing time last season, and, more importantly, gained the experience that is needed for a team to succeed," says Pine. "The fact that the team was able to rebound from some early losses and put together an 11-game winning streak showed the progress that the team made through the season. I think that this 路year's team can do even more, including making a post-season appearance ."

Hockey The Bantams' second season in the ECAC East saw them finish at 5-10-2 and 8-13-2 overall, but the year proved to be a positive one from the point of view of player development. As Coach Dunham explains, "The loss of three top return-

ing players forced us to play with no prove n goal scorers and a young and inexperienced gro up containing 12 freshmen and sophomores. These yo ung players had the opportunity to mature by playing regularly, and, while we took our lumps early in the season, the team made a great deal of progress after the winter break and closed the season with three straight victories." The lack of scoring that has plagued the Bantams in recent years should come to an end as a solid group of returning forwards will be bolstered by a talented recruiting class and the return of veterans Eric McGranahan'95 and Todd Carroll '95. The returning group is led by sophomores Terry Long (7-14=21), the leading scorer a year ago, and Craig Muse (13-6= 19). Senior co-captains Brendan Monahan (6-7=13) and Patrick Ashe (51 =6) are solid fixtures at right wing and left wing, respectively, along with senior right wing Ken Golden (2-6=8) , the team's top defensive forward. Junior Bill Hogan (4-6= 10) is a versatile two-way performer, and swift skating sophomores Neil Yonker (2-8= 10) and 路 Christen Bruyere (2-5=7) will pressure opposing defenses with their speed. Face-off specialist Joe Yannetti '95 and the clever junior Casey Kutner will return to the center position, while hard-working forecheckers Winston Binch '97 and Peter Krawiec '95 round out the returning wingers. Despite the return of 12 lettermen, along with McGranahan and Carroll, several freshman forwards have the ability to contribute right away. Two talented Rhode Islanders, senior Patrick Bruno and junior Christian Sheehan, will lead an experienced and mobile group ofblueliners. Senior Jordy Davis has established himself as a dependable performer, and rugged juniors Gary Duncan and Matt Clark should continue their solid play of a year ago. Sophomores Glenn Cucinell and Brady Jensen played well and showed excellent potential as rookies last year. With two talented

freshmen j oining this group, the defense should be a cornerstone of this year's team. Goaltending is in the capable hands of junior J ason Pinto (4.84 ave.) and senior Mike Esposito (4.00 ave.). Both played brilliantly at times and shared the team's MVP award last season. Sophomores Hale Everets and David Finn are back to challenge the incumbents.

Wrestling With eight starters returning, Trinity will boast the experience needed to be competitive ' in the New England ranks this season. The Bantams are eager to improve upon last year's 813 record and eighth-place finish in the New England Championships. Leading the way for the Bantams this season will be two-time All-American Tucker M acLean '95 and New England Champion Raymond Jones '97. Tri-Captain MacLean will be hard pressed to improve his junior year performance. Last year, at 190 pounds, MacLean finished the regular season a perfect 26-0. He continued to display his prowess in the New England C hampionships, not allowing a sin gle point to be scored on him en route to his second New England title . Seeded fourth in the Division III National Championships, MacLean earned his second All-American honors, placing fifth and receiving the award for Most Pins, Least Aggregate Time w ith three pins. MacLean's first loss of the season came in the semi-finals, in which he lost a close 10-8 match to Steven Farr oflthaca, the eventual national champion. Coach Amato describes MacLean as a "thrilling, unorthodox wrestler w ith the uncarmy ability to find ways to win. " This season MacLean is determined to fulfill his goal to become Trinity's first national champion. Jones moves up to 167 pounds this season. He was the surprise of the New E ngland tournament last year: seeded eighth with an overall dual meet record of 8-4, he methodically knocked off each top

seed to capture his first New England title. Jones was voted the league's Rookie of the Year with his impressive perfo rmance. By virtue of his championship crown, Jones automatically qualified for the NCAA Division III Nationals. He proved that he can compete with the best wrestlers in the country when he upset the fo urth seed in the first round of competition. "Ray can do what ever he puts his mind to," Coach Amato says. "He has explosive, athletic ability and an instinctive sense to put away opponents." Freshman Matthew Mors~ should benefit greatly from the tutelage of Jones. Starting things off at 118 pounds is sophomore Jay Paramsothy. As a freshman, Paramsothy had the seasonending misfortune of breaking an ankle at the end of the first semester. His work ethic and

determinati9n have impressed the coaching staff, and the team looks forward to having him back. Following Paramsothy at 118 pounds, freshman Mark Seely will make his debut in college wrestling at 126 pounds . Seely is a product of Catholic Memorial High School (West Roxbury, Mass.) . He was captain of his team, placed fourth in Division I, and qualified for the high school New Englands. Freshman Andrew Goldstein, at 134 pounds, is extremely enthusiastic to begin wrestling. He will give the Bantams a solid effort every time he sets out on the mat. In the 142-pound weight class, sophomore Kirk Bedell, a New England Prep Champion, looks forward to beginning his college wrestling career after sitting on the shelf with a back injury in his freshman year. He is extremely strong and should make an immediate impact in his starting role. Senior Tri-Captain Robert Bligh and senior Jakob Shaw will wrestle off at 150 pounds for the starting spot. Sophomore, Corey Rishworth rounds out the weight class. "Bligh is the heart and soul of the team," says Amato. On the other hand, Shaw is aggressive with great offensive skills. "Jake has the potential to be one of New England's best," says Amato . Rishworth has shown a great deaJ of promise but will need time to develop his technique.

At 158 pounds, junior TriCaptain Vassily Eliopoulos has inside control in this weight class. During his sophomore year he had a record of 9-8 and received the Greatest Team Contribution Award, which is given to the individual who most exemplifies effort, teamwork, and sacrifice. Eliopoulos \Yill be challenged by sophomore Steven Vargas and freshman Mark Struckenbnick. Vargas has a workmanlike attitude and should provide strong opposition, while St~ckenbruck adds quality and depth to the team. The 177-pound weight class is deep with quality wrestlers. Leading the way are juniors Jason Teebagy, and David Weston and sophomore Brent Funston. Teebagy is a dedicated wrestler who prefers to wrestle opponents on his feet. Weston methodically wears his opponents down with leg attacks and maneuvers. Funston is a hard worker who also enjoys controlling his foes with the cross-body ride. Finally, the heavyweight class will be decided by junior Josh Perlow and newcomer Jeff Ward. Perlow has the experience, but Ward has the size.

Men's Basketball The Trinity winning tradition continued this past season as the high-powered Bantams rolled to a single season record 16 straight victories and a ninth

Sophomores Terry Long and Craig Muse return to help the Bantams in the ECAC East this season.

ECAC appearance . Coach Ogrodnik attributed much of this success to leadership of his seniors. Absent from the 199495 squad will be 1000 point and All-NESCAC forward David Jones, along with his frontcourt henchman Greg Haffner. Backcourt stalwarts Jeff Almeida and Steffan Tomlinson leave, taking their experience and toughness with them. In spite of these losses, Stan Ogrodnik anticipates the coming season eagerly. Seven lettermen return bolstered by a heralded freshman class. Senior Tri-Captain Dane Aiken will be back and is prepared to flash his varied array of talents. Whether as a scorer, rebounder, or defensive stopper, Dane is dedicated to making his senior year his best. Coming off quality seasons, Chris Reh and Pat Kinzeler are ready to step successfully into the frontcourt positions. The backcourt should be in good hands with starters Troy McKelvin and Keith Wolff returning. McKelvin enters his third season as a dynamic leader who is proficient in all aspects of the game. In one season, junior Keith Wolff has established himself as one of the premier scorers in Division III basketball. Chris Smith and Mark Lotty gained experience under fire and are capable of playing lead roles on this team. Sophomore Dave Hava and juniors Spencer Grimes 411d Chris Calio have shown marked improvement and all of these players are poised to ' make a contribution. Added to this mix will be a freshman class headed by 6'8" Brendan Gallagher (Agawam, Mass.), 6'6.5" Jason Webster (E. Holden, Maine), and 6'3" Craig Moody (Ridgewood, N.J.). "Although inexperienced in the frontcourt, this season's team has the essential ingredients to continue Trinity's tradition of winning basketball," says Coach Ogrodnik. "Our success will be determined by how quickly we can blend our new players with the veterans. We have some exceptional people who are used to winning."

FREEDOM OF SPEECH W ORDS ARE NOT DEEDS Ha rry Bracken '49 Praeger Publish ers, Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc., Westport, Co nn., 1994, 176 pp., $49.95 This new book by Bracken won high praise from noted linguist No am C homsky of th e M assachusetts Institute of Technology's department oflinguistics and philosophy. Chomsky said, " Harry Bracken' s study of the right of free expression adds valuable historical dep th and analytical clarity to our understanding of issues of crucial human significance . It is an important and thought-provoking work." In this book Bracken provides a philosophical framework within which the free speec h clause of the C onstitution's First Amendment may be understood. It offers a historically based th esis illuminating a point virtually ignored in the literature -the absolutist quality of the free speech clause and the philosophical dualism (words/ deeds) on w hich it is based. In light of the growing forces favoring gro up rights in order to generate laws which wo uld silence "offensive" speec h, Bracken's book provides a radical challenge to the framewo rks within w hich many such arguments are cast and reminds censors of the special role of free speech in any democratic community w hich aims to be selfgoverning. Richard Popkin ofUCLA writes that Bracken " puts forth an exciting, impressive, som etimes polemical case .. .. Thoughtful people need to consider his presentatio n before endorsin g th e various forms of censorship that are constantly being offered by people of good will to cure p oli tical and social ills." Author Bracken is affiliated w ith the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. H e has taught philosophy atthe Uni versities of Iowa, Minnesota, and California (San Diego), and at Arizona State University and M cGill University. He is the author of The Early R eception of Berkeley's Immaterialism, Berkeley, and Mind and Language: Essays on Descartes and Chomsky.

EMPLOYABILITY IN A HIGH PERFORMANCE ECONOMY Barry G . Sheckley '69, Lois Lamdin, Morris T. Keeton CAEL, The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning, Chicago, Ill., $29.95 " Every human resource professional should read this book," says D r. B. Tregoe, chairman of the Council on Workforce Excellence, of the National Alliance of Business. And, writes Dr. ]. Ivancevich, dean of the College of Business AdministrationA the University of H o usto n, " The workforce needed in the 21st century w ill be available only if the type of employability prescriptions offered in this book are implem ented. " The authors of this book see employability as key to this country's building a workforce able to compete globally. They define employ~ ability as having a workforce that is qualified for currently available work and show that the concept requires workers to maintain upto-date knowledge and competence in their present jobs, while also developing the capacity to broaden their qualifications for jobs in diverse career fi elds. They believe that employability is achievable, and that all members of the current or future workfo rce can achieve the generic skills that will enable them to survive change, adapt to n ew work demands, continue learning, and be eligible for a broader range of existing jobs.

To ac hieve employability, they say, cooperation is required among co rp orations, unions, workers, edu cation providers, and state and federal government. The authors show in detail how these partnerships can be formed, while delineating the costs and benefits to each sector. Author Sheckley is associate professor of education and directo r of the Research Project for Organizational Learning at the Uni versity of Connecticut. He consults w ith numerous multinational corporations in areas vital to improving productivity.

HEROISM & THE BLACK INTELLECTUAL: Ralph Ellison, Politics, and Mro-American Intellectual Life J erry Gafio Watts The University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, N.C. , 1994, $12 .95 paperback, $29.95 hardcover Can a black man participate fully as an intellectual in a white-dominated society is a question with w hich R alph Ellison, author of the acclaimed novel Invisible Man, struggled all of his life. This book by Watts, who is associate professor of Ameri ca n studies at T rinity, is the first to appear since his death in M ay. In the book, Watts provid es a sophisticated analysis of Ellison's cultural politics, examining the ways in which black artists and thinkers attempt to establish creative intellectu al spaces for themselves.

At the time of the comp etition, he was in the Graduate Writing Program of the University of Virginia. He is now an assistant professor of English at D enison University . â&#x20AC;˘

creative thinkers, Watts writes, black writers and artists have had to navigate their way through a society that both denied th em the resources, status, and en co uragement offered to their white peers and alienated them from the rest of their own ethnic group. As aresult, Watts says, black intellectuals devised strategies to function creatively within this status of social marginality. Ellison became involved w ith Communist party literary circles, because they gave him a chance to publish and grow as a w riter before other networks in the black world or white literary establishment were open to his w ork. Although Ellison is best know n for Invisible Man, in this book Watts fo cuses on his essays, most of w hich appear in two collections of his writings on literature, politics, and j azz: Shadow and A ct (1964) and Going to the Territory (1986) . Corn el West called Watts's book "sup erb. " Werner Sollars of Harvard University said "Watts analyzes Ellison's ... articulation of heroic individualism, [his] ambivalance in his encounter with R ichard W right, his work on the Federal Writers' Proj ect, and his break with th e Communist party.

THE SCIENCE OF DESIRE The Search for the Gay Gene and the Biology of Behavior D ean Hamer '72 and Peter Copeland Simon & Schuster, N .Y. 1994, 272 p.p. , $23 .00

As a molecular geneticist at the National Institutes of H ealth, the world' s largest biomedical research facility, Dr. Dean Hamer was hardly accustomed to the glare of the m edia spotlight. Yet, in the summer of 1993, h e found himself in the m idst of a media feeding frenzy w ith the publication of an article in a scientific journal reporting the results of his twoyear study on genetic links to homo sexuality and his discovery of a gene m arker for mal e ho mosexuality. He was on the front pages of n ewspapers and magazines around th e co untry, was the lead gues t on television news programs such as "Nightline " and was even subpoenaed as an expert witness in a Colorado co urtroom where civil libertarians were ch all enging anti-gay legislation.

The discove ry of the gene marker h ad launch ed a firestorm of national controversy focu sing on profound scientific, social an d ethical issues . In The Science of Desire, H amer, (with Peter Copeland, Washington correspondent for the ScrippsHoward newspaper chain), describ es th e process which led to the discovery of a link between male homosexuality and DNA markers on the X chromosome. H e details the scientific basis for his researc h design, speculates on how "gay ' genes" might work and how they might have evolved, and examines their implications for the origins of other human b ehaviors from aggressiveness to shyness. "Good science requires a goo d detective," says University of Washington sociologist P epper Schwartz, of the book. " His fasc inating, provocative, readable and highly intelligent book is about the trickiest of scientific questions: the biological origins ofhomosexuality ...This is an important, ground- breaking, paradigm-shattering wo rk.

his issue of the Reporter marks the inauguration of a column devoted to the College archivist's reflections on personalities, events, places, etc. of importance in Trinity's history, and I hop e alumni will find it both informative and enjoyable. Housed in the Library, the College Archives has a broad range of resources, including an extensive collection of biographical data on 19th-century alumni. Considerable use is made of this material, and requests for information are received frequently either in writing or by telephone from across the country and occasionally overseas. Through their accomplishments many alumni have brought distinction to the College during its long history. The extent and quality of data pertaining to alumni ofTrinity's first 75 years is unusual for an institution of its size. H ow that data was gathered is an interesting and hitherto untold story. At the turn of the century, responsibility for maintaining a current list of alumni rested in the Treasurer's Office. Biographical information was received irregularly an d often only at the time of an alumnus's death. In 1910 Edgar F. Waterman, Treasurer and Trustee of the College, conceived the idea of undertaking a systematic program to gather biographical information on all alumni who had matriculated as well as on all honorary degree recipients. Although never realized, Waterman's hop e was to use the data in preparing profiles of alumni for eventual publication in a series similar to Sibley's

Harvard Graduates, by then re1 ognized as a model of its kind for American universities. Edgar Waterman was him& an alumnus of Trinity in the Class of 1898. He graduated from Columbia University L1 School in 1901 and practiced law in New York City until 1903 when he was appointed Assistant Treasurer of Trinity H e became Treasurer of the College in 1906 and retired from office in 1929. A family man, the father of four daugh ters, Waterman was active in variety of civic causes, servin1 as president of the Connectic Historical So ciety and the Watkinson Library and as sec retary-general of the Society Colonial Wars. Compiler of several genealogies in later liÂŁ he died in 1972 at the age of 9 Working from a master list of over 1700 names compilei in 1900 by the R ev. Dr. Samu Hart, at that tim.e Professor o Latin Language and Literatun and also an alumnus, Waterm~ began his ambitious effort in 1910. During the following three years his office issued a flood of correspondence. Dat on living alumni was gathere; with relative ease. However, finding information on decease alumni posed a considerable challenge. It was necessary to write to next-of-kin when known, classmates, town and city clerks, religious and educa tional institutions, and other sources that might yield the de sired result. Follow-up letters were sent and all leads were pt sued with relentless zeal. Enclosed with each reques was an information form Waterman designed.

ties including fraternity membership, academic honors, aw路ards and prizes, and athletic accomplishments; political affiliation; church membership; military service; professional honors and affiliations and membership in clubs and associations with offices held; directorships or trusteeships; a brief sketch of life after leaving college; chronological record of business or professional career; publications; relatives connected with Tr_inity; and date and place of death and place of burial. Also requested were photographs or other likenesses. Waterman's success in tracking down information was phenomenal. A conservative estimate places the response rate at between 80 and 85 percent, with the greatest difficultly not surprisingly encountered with the earliest graduates. Portraits were received for about 60 percent of alumni and range in form from daguerreotypes and tintypes to the cartes-

de-visite and other standardized images popular later in the century. The form continued in use from World War I on and was sent periodically to alumni to obtain updated information and to cover recently graduated classes. Thus, Waterman's pioneer effort was the foundation for alumni data-gathering from that time to the present. Waterman's achievement has had lasting value to the College and to countless researchers ranging from family members interested in their forbears to scholars in a variety of disciplines. The accomplishments of alumni are an important measure of the value of their undergraduate education. Trinity's commitment to a strong liberal arts curriculum as preparation for fulfilling lives of service is revealed time and again in the alumni files. For his efforts in documenting the historical record of 19th-century alumni Edgar W atermau deserves a long overdue salute.

alking about teaching comes easily to Associate Professor of Psychology Dina L. Anselmi. She is fascinated by the process. But, in the middle of a conversation about her work in the classroom, this year's recipient of the Brownell Prize in Teaching stops short and leans forward. "It is an honor to teach undergraduates," she says earnes tly. It is impossible for her to talk about being a successful teacher w ithout acknowleging her students . Anselmi's awareness of the relationship between teaching and learning is key to her success. She earned her master's and doctoral degrees at the University ofNew H ampshire, an institution that emphasized the training of college teachers. As a graduate student, she was required to teach two undergraduate courses, but she ended up teaching four more before finishing her doctorate. "I really had a chance to think abo ut ~ss u es in teaching that many people don't have the opportunity to do," she says. "I've always been fortunate to have mentors w ho enco uraged me to see teaching and learning as related processes." David Breault '90 is among those w ho nominated Anselmi for the distinguished teaching prize, w hich is presented biennially at Comm encement. In his letter of nomination, he described meeting her during a freshman pre-registration meeting "in a small, steamy room on the first floor of McCook" H all. " My memory of this meeting is quite vivid, for it marked the beginning of my professional relationship and friendship w ith Dina," said Breault, who is enrolled in the M.D ./

Dina Anselmi talks with a Challenge student.

Ph.D . program at the University of Connecticut and who will be a visiting lecturer in biology at Trinity in the spring. " I remember distinctly how effective she was at dispelling our fears and instilling in each of us a sense of self-confidence as we chose the courses for our first semester. She insisted that each of us strive for the most diverse course load we could schedule-the essence of a liberal arts education." One of Anselmi's greatest strengths is her ability to challenge the views of those around her, whether students doing research in her psychology classes, colleagues from one of the numerous College committees on w hich she serves, or friends dealing with problems. She requires themas she does herself-to examine and re-examine their beliefs; and she does so in a way that builds, rather than destroys, self-confi dence. "Students will ask, 'What's the answer?"' Anselmi says. " Many times, it depends on your perspective. We live in a world of conflict and ambiguity. This is not a world in which everything is settled. T h ere is nothing like watching the smiling face of someone

w ho is facing a difficult problem but w ho comes to see a solution him or herself. "What's most exciting is the student w hom you see move from one level to another," Anselmi says. "Many students do that on their own, but a lot of them don't have the selfconfidence or the ability to recognize their own potential." In hono ring Anselmi as Brownell Prize recipient, thenDean of the Faculty J an Cohn noted the w ide variety of Anselmi's students . In addition to teaching traditional undergraduates, she has worked for several years in Trinity's Summer Challenge program for pre-freshmen interested in mathematics and science. She also has taught graduate and Elderhostel students, as well as those in Trinity's Individualized D egree Program for adult students. She is a founder of the Trinity College Community Child Care Center and remains an active participant on the Center's board. "This year's Brownell professor has never met an adult she did not want to teach," Cohn said of Anselmi. " I ... have hard evidence that she has never come across an adult she did not succeed in teaching."

"Dina is also a talented teacher of teachers," says Professor of Economics Diane Zannoni, w ho, like Anselmi, is a leader in the Writing Across the Curriculum movement. "Over the past five years Dina has worked with faculty at over 20 campuses across the country on ways to encourage critical thinking and to encourage students to take a more ac tive role in their own learning, both in and out of the classroom. Just as she finds ways to touch each student in her classes, so too is she able to respond sensitively to diverse faculty questions with creative suggestions and concrete examples based on her own teaching experiences." Anselmi's research is in the area of child development. Currently, she is looking into questions ofbilingualism in yo ung children. She chose to teach at Trinity because of its commitment to the liberal arts and the sense of community here, but the College's location in a city has proved to be a bonus for her own research and that w hich she requires of most of her students. " I try to get students to think about a real life problem, investigate that problem, and come up with a solution," she says, explaining that students always present their soluti ons to others, either on campus or off. "The City is a microcosm of a zillion problems confronting families and children and all kinds of resources to attempt to solve them. Through their research, the students have an opportunity to see that they can be part of a solution and presenting their solutions to others empowers th em to see themselves as part of the solution." -Eliz abeth A. Natale

San Francisco club members spend a Saturday as volunteers

t's a clear, sunny Saturday morning in San Francisco. In the midst of a particularly foggy and cool summer, this is the kind of day you want to savor out-of-doors. This is also the day that ten Bay-Area Trinity alums (and one spouse) have reserved to volunteer their time and manpower at Raphael House, a local homeless shelter. Competing with this gorgeous day, and a Saturday morning at that, could be tough. But, all those who RSVP'd "yes" showed up at 9 a.m. ready to work. Our Alumni Club planning committee conceived this idea as an event that would appeal to a wide range of ages and interests, as well as reflect the spirit of volunteerism in our city. Because of my personal interest in community service, I offered to spearhead the event. Our goal was to find a service or outreach group that has an educational element (a logical tie-in to Trinity as an institution of higher learning) . After speaking with more than 20 organizations in the city, I recommended a project with Raphael House. Raphael House is a 23year-old privately run homeless shelter serving San Francisco families (primarily single mothers and their children). They house more than 200 families each year and rely on a large support staff of volunteers. Raphael House needed our help with son1.e renovations on a classroom used for tutoring. Interestingly enough, our contact, Victoria Nimirowski, the volunteer program

director and adult education coordinator at Raphael House, lived in Connecticut for several years and was familiar with Trinity. We were encouraged by the immediate response to the event mailing. I was surprised that many people actually mailed back the RSVP sheet with a note saying why they couldn't participate but wanted to express their interest in this type of event. As one person put it, he " ... couldn't think of a nicer way to meet Trinity folk." Several alums sent donations (monetary, household items, clothing, and even several cases of "Annie's Home-Grown Macaroni and Cheese"). In total, 11 volunteers removed furniture, artwork, coatracks, toys, and books from a large classroom, rolled on a fresh coat of paint, cleaned the room and replaced all of the items. It took about five hours (including a leisurely lunch prepared by Raphael House,

where we shared stories of our college days) and ended with a tour of the entire facility. Raphael House was the most un-dormlike shelter any of us had ever seen. We were impressed with the friendly and caring staff, and how the shelter was able to preserve a sense of family, dignity and privacy for all of the families it assists. Working side by side as a team is a great way to get to know someone, especially if you throw in a few painting accidents (all were reversible!). Our volunteer group was a true gumbo - 54 percent female/ 46 percent

male, spanning 29 years, from the C lass of '63 to the Class of '92, all working in different fields. We also had some things in common. In terms of majors, American studies appeared to have the best representation among the group. (Being one, I had to note this!) Another commonality was the fact that each . one of us participates in volunteer activities, and had also done so路 while atTrinity. A few admitted that this was among the few alumni events they'd personally be interested in, and absolutely wanted to do it again. We had a lot of fun (have

you ever tried to reorganize a bookshelf of kids' literature w ithout reading your favorite C urious George story?). For those of us in the corporate world, it was also neat to be back in the classroom for a day. There's also something very nostalgic about globes, chalkboards, nap mats and the like. Of course, the day seemed

sunnier and sweeter as we walked outside, as is often the case when you step outside of your own world to help brighten someone else's. Based on our experience, we strongly endorse this kind of event and encourage other alumni clubs to try it out in their communities.

music played in between each odd game, but all seemed to enjoy the after-match interview with the victorious Becker. Plans to purchase box seats for next year's matches are already being discussed. The Trinity Club of Fairfield County gathered in August at the Darien home of Tom and Marianne Reifenheiser, parents of MaryKatherine '97 for an informal reception to greet area members of the Class of 1998 and wish them well as they begin their Trinity careers.

tended by the Reifenheisers and the work of the Club executive committee, led by Fred Tobin '57. The Trinity Club of Pittsburgh was treated to "Grant Street Revisited," a walking tour of downtown Pittsburgh organized by Bill Durkee '70. Durkee, principal architect of Lorenzi, Dodds, and Gunnill Inc. and a Club executive committee member, shared his expertise with members w ho joined him in September for a tour and discussion of the architectural gems ofThe Golden Triangle. Drew Hyland, C harles A.

Dana Professor of Philosophy, presented "The Philosophy of Sport" to the Trinity Club of Seattle in September at the offices of McCannErickson Advertising. Professor Hyland discussed his popular course, explaining how the adequate understanding of sport, athletics, and play requin~s, and is indeed inseparable from, philosophic understanding. Light hors d' oeuvres and refreshments were served. Much appreciation to Club President Michelle McEttrick '89 for planning this reception and lecture.

We had no special reunion dinner this year but at th e H alf-Ce ntury Dinner we were pleased to

join B ILL BASCH, RAY and Maureen ROSENFIELD, and DON and Inez SNOWDON. The seven of us had a nice dinner and reminisced. If your ears are burning, it might be that we discussed many of yo u at som e len gth. Graduating from Trin this year was LO UISA MASON '94 daughter ofNat Mason and granddaughter ofPhyllis and J OHN MASON. Masie Smith , widow of SEYMOUR E.

We met our new interim president, BORDEN PAINTER '58 and I'm pleased to report that w~ are in excellent hands. The J OHN KELLY prizes are now an accomplished fa ct, w ith those in basketball and footb all having been awarded and, as of the present w riting, that for baseball waiting until the end of the seaso n.

Having completed a three-year course in the New J ersey Avocational Certification Program given by the Archeological Society, both are now Certified Avocational Archaeologists. C harlie is also president of the Ocean County Genealogy Society. Meanwhile, he observes, "our great-granddaughters and great-grandsons multiply with startling freq u ency." " It's a hard life, but we shoulder the burden gladly," JACK CARR quips, referring to his jaunts w ith wife, Louise. Last summer's motorhome trip took them to the Canadian Maritimes including Fort Louisburg "where my Iroquois ancestors joined British forces to defeat the French."This summer they made their regular June-toOctober escap e from the Gulf Coast's hurr ican e season. They headed fo r the Sawtooth R ange, then on to Flamingo Gorge in Utah and Yellowstone in Wyoming - all at a leisurely pace. Their favorite, Glacier National Park in Montana, was next. After Jackson Hole and the Tetons came the scenic Wind River Valley en route to the Colorado Rockies. Lastly, they visited their daughter at Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains of California. Then, home to Orange B each in Alabama. Last February, BERT SCULL traveled to Jupiter, Fla. w here he partied with REUEL and Betty BENSON among others; pushed on the following week to an Orlando wedding; and then "rushed to Enfield, Conn. for my grandson's elevation to the rank of Eagle Scout ... You guessed it: I took umpteen rolls of film." H e and Mary drove from Saraso ta to Fort Lauderdale - an eight-hour trip - to the Au rene Theater just to see " Miss Saigon." B ert comments on life's ironies: "Oh, yes, I get my regular aspi rin and my twiceweekly exercise. But while one of our sons drives 50,000 miles a year in every direction and friends fly to Hong Kong or traipse about the globe, my wife and I see a production at Fort Lau derdale or go for lunch now and then in Clearwater. Still, we're highly entertained, even amazed, by the accomplishments of our grandchildren." Reuel and Betty have moved "to a condo w ith about the sam e amount of space but with no trees, grass, or shrubs to maintain, no water. sewer, or trash bills to pay."

They're getting a smaller dog, "a new, wee one that meets the condo's rules."Their new address: 150 Pineview Rd., Apt. D3,Jupiter, Fla. 33469. SH ERRY RAYMOND, C lass Agent for '36 , sings in the MidCape Chorus, a gro up of 53 voices . They gave nine performances in the spring.

H e and Grace attended the Spring Flower Show in Boston with the "Cape Cod Adventu rers." Sherry regularly publish es a newsletter entitled "Grampy Raymond's Journal: For Our Grandchildren ." Its features in clude "What We've Been Doing," "Sayings," "Family History," "Games" and other brain-teasers. Now in its fourth issue, this printed photocopy is "avidly anticipated by more than a dozen smallfry and students," says Sherry. FRANK KEANE, now a widower, has moved from Warminster, Pa. to Syracuse, w here his two sons and their fami lies live. His address is 360 Forest Hill Dr., Syracuse, N.Y. 13206. "We're both in fine shape," JO HN BUCKLEY reports of himself and w ife, Ann. Since retiring from medical practice in Torrington, Conn., he says h e's even happier "every time I open the daily paper." Celina Sinclair, T. LOWRY SINCLAIR's w idow, writes, " You were his special friends and now mine. Please keep in tou ch." Her address: Moanalua Village, 1349-A Moanalualani Way, Honolulu , HI 96819. After a recent trip to Hong Kong, Canton, Borneo, Bali, Singapore, Thailand and the Yu catan Peninsula, BOB M CKEE observes that "American efforts to improve our quaint notions of hu man rights and punishment su cceed only in creating misunderstandings and trade barri ers." Bob is still an active realtor in Pasadena. In ano th er communication , Bob, who was in the first wave at Omaha Beach, recently completed his autobiograp hy. Although Random H ouse has pressed him for an enlarged version, B ob says, "My purpose was only to provide a record for my children and grandchildren."

His patients include several Trinity grads. Oil painting, languages, and music are his hobbies. RALPH HEINSEN and Elizabeth love their village near Chapel Hill, but they summer in Lakeside, Mi ch. , 75 miles from the Chicago Loop. " I feel very lucky," says Ralph, "to enjoy tennis at 84 ." Class Secretary JACK HANNA, who is 79, adds, " I'll never brag again about skiing this last winter." PAUL ARMSTRONG writes from John KnoxVillage in Pompano Beach, Fla. "No news. In the past at this time of th e year I would have been in England getting ready for studies at Trinity Hall, Cambridge University, but a fall and broken bones along with Parkinson's disease, put an end to that. I now live in a retirement comm.unity and enj oy it." DOLPH HOEHLIN G w rites from Englewood, Fla. that his main hobby is biking "since the area is made for it - miles and miles of flatland." Many of Dolph's Civil War titles are in print or have been reprinted more than once. These include: Last Train from Atlanta, Thunder at H ampton Roads, Vicksbu rg, The D ay Richmond Died, an d After the Guns Fell Silent .. Back in print are other works as well: The L ast Voyage of the L usitan.ia and Women Who Spied. Pending is a manuscript on sea disasters off our shores. This includes the fate of the S. S. Portland and the Morro Castle, victims of the Blizzard of '98 . His best seller, The Great War at Sea, (1965), will b e reissued shortly by Barnes and Noble. It includes the story of the Navy collier, "Cyclops," the largest vessel and the most profound mystery in USN history. Dolph adds, " I've always thought the greatest understatement of all time was uttered at Jutland by Admiral Beatty, w ho lost three of his big, beautiful battle cruisers along with over 4,000 men. Beatty pondered th e tragic event and mused 'There seems to be something wrong w ith our blood ships today."' J O H N GEARE j oined in celebrating PAUL BURDETT '37's 50th wedding anniversary and 80th birthday, both held at the Burdett Ranch near Missoula, Mont. last August. Then "Gatch" returned to home base in Maryland to celebrate his own 80th birthday. (Note: We report, sadly, that John's wife, Lydia, died last

Jan. 18.) BENNETT GREENBERG writes that he has "replaced the tennis court with th e golf course and the bridge table." But half of each week is spent " handling legal collections for the Springfield newspapers." D espite his having been a lifelong educator, he finds it "difficult to believe that my two daughters have found niches in academe, one as a professor at H arvard Med, the oth er at Marymount in Virginia." DOUG RANKI N is completing a fami ly history of the Rankin-Little-Gaynor line. This "pet project," he adds, " is probably encouraged by my being a history major under Professor Humphrey." Doug finds genealogy a fascinating hobby and urges us all to delve into it: "You'll be surprised. I discovered that my ancestors didn't come over on the 'Mayflower' after all. T hey sailed here on the ' Fortune.' That was several landings later." ARTHURJENSEN kindly reminded your Class Secretary that "we're a Cornell fam ily" when he wrote me recently that his son, Paul, has a B.S. and a J.D. ; his daughter-in-law, Lynn, a B.A. in economics; and his sonin-law, Jack, a B.A. in business administration - all from Cornell. Art himself, of course, has an M.A. and Ph.D. in medical science, likewise from Cornell. Long retired as dean of students at New York Medical College, he has chosen to live in an area " brimming with trout streams" Hendersonville, N.C. HARRY DAVI S and wife, Ruth, now boast " 11 children, 25 grandchildren, and a half a dozen grea t-gra ndchildren." Family careers run the gamut from dental technician to Boeing engineer to ecological science at NASA and Martin-Marietta. Ruth 's paintings have won first, second and third awards, but she spent her last birthday skydiving! As for Harry, he focuses on gardening and "everlasting genealogical research, which leaves no time for volunteer positions, dull conmuttee meetings, and political consciousness ." ROGER MOTTEN, back from a 16-day "cruise and tour" of Alaska w ith w ife, Doris, says he can't get over the vastness and relatively unsp oiled ecology of our 50th state.

The Class was well represented at the Half-Century Club Dinner. Among those present were BEN and Helene O 'CONNELL, BILL DUNN, HARRY and Subby SANDERS, YOUR SECRETARY and wife, Corrine. Sharing our dinner table were JUDGE JOHN and Mary BRENNAN and ERIC and Ginny ANDERSON of the Class of 1938 .We had a delightful dinner. President BORDENW PAINTER,JR.

The representative group attending our 55th Reunion in June agreed that, despite some obvious gray hairs and other minor signs of active living, the Class of 1939 looked better than some of the younger classes, but perhaps not quite as good as those classes after the admission of women. Officially,

there were JOHN BARNEWALL and Amy, MIKE BASSFORD and Beth, DICK CLOW and Shirley, LOU GLAUBMAN and Clara, DICK LEGGETT and Ruth, SHER MARTIN and Gina, BOB MUIR and Kate, BILL PICKLES and Dottie, TED W EZOWIC and Marita, and JACK WILCOX and H elen. GEORGE STARKEY apparently registered but remained invisible. Every affair was splendid: the Half-Century Club dinner, the clambake on the Quad (with stimulating conversations going on late into th e evening hours), a ra ther informal C lass M eeting to elect officers, the Class Parade and Annual Alumni M eeting, and an elegant Class Dinner at the new Admissions Building (the former President's House). Before dinner we were honored to have President BORDEN PAINTER '58 pay us a brief visit; we toasted him for his success under difficult circumstances and offered our continuing support. Class President Jack W ilcox emceed the affair. Our newly-elected Vice President, the Reverend Bob Muir, offered a moving invocation, welcoming the classmates and w ives in attendance and also reflecting on the years we had spent together at Trinity. Mike Bassford gave his report of financial activities; our Class h ad the high est percentage participation (73 percent, a College record) for the AJunmi Fund . Jack also presented Dick Clow a colored ink drawing of the College for having com e the longest distance. Tragically, Bill Pickles died of a heart attack only a week after returning hom e (see In Memory) . He had thoroughly enjoyed this R eunion, and he and Dottie were eagerly anticipating their summer

trip to a Trinity-op erated Elderhostel in Italy. Earlier, th e Class h ad selected Sher Martin as Class Secretary. This new scrib e hopes you will make his job easier by voluntarily contributing your news and social commentary. Without your input he may b e forced to divulge ancient scurrilous tales to fill this space. Finding new scurrilous tales of 55-year alumni won't be simple, unless some of you are more energetic than we might imagine. The alumni office heard from J OHN FOLLANSBEE . He and his wife, M ary, traveled in Europe last summer, starting in Amsterdam and continuing to Bonn, Germany, and Lucerne and Lugano, Switzerland. In Geneva they boarded the Royal Odyssey for a 12- day cruise w ith stops at Ibiza, Malaga, Lisbon, Porto, LeHavre and Southampton. After four days in London, they had a week at Whatley Manor near Bath. Sherwood Martin 433 Millstream Dr. Vernon, Conn. 06066 Class Agent: Ethan F. Bassford

m DON DAY continues to keep me posted on the doings in Vero B each , Fla. , although h e and Tay h ave returned to Connecticut for the summer. LOU BUCK is one of the incorp orators and directors of Condominium and Homeowners Association of Indian River. It is a new not-for- profit organization formed to promote the interests of the groups m entioned in the title. The Days had dinner w ith th e Bucks when Lou and Dottie re-

cently visited Connecticut. Don reports that they were both well and still playing tennis. H e couldn't say the same for himself, since he was nursing a sore back w hich had kept him pretty much immobile. At the Half- Century Club Dinner in June, it was dej a vu all over again (to lift a well-worn phrase from Yogi Berra. Someone has rem arked that th ese days he seems to be quoted more often than Shakespeare). As in the past, the Class was represented by FRANK a~d Iva KELLY, AD and Mary TYLER and JIM and Margaret SPENCER. Ad saiq that more of our classmates should share this annual opportunity to get together, and I am glad to associate myself wholeheartedly w ith his suggestion. Sometimes YOUR SECRETARY has to travel far afield to gather material for this report. While Iva and I were touring Spain this spring, I found that one of our traveling companions was a former executive of IBM . I mentioned that WALT PEDICORD, who retired from Big Blue as vice president, personnel, was in my class at Trinity. O ur acquaintance immediately embarked on a paean of praise for Walt, saying tha,t he had been a statesman (his exact word) in the fi eld of industrial relations and that many of the procedures w hich he instituted had been copied around the world. I felt buoyed by the association. While I was ch ecking out the alumni publication of St. Joseph College - scouting the competition, so to speak - I came across an item from our classmate, MART IN DESMOND. "Louise O 'Neil D esmond's husband, Martin, w rote on h er behalf to tell us that the recent California fires spared them all but problems with soot and smoke. Louise broke the fe- . mur in her leg and has b een unable to stand on it. We w ish h er a speedy recovery." Next time, Marty, send us a carb on copy. And Trinity College joins St. Joseph College in wishing Louise a speedy recovery. Frank A. Kelly, Jr. 21 Forest Dr. New ington, Conn. 06111 Class Agent: Donald J. Day

YOUR SECRETARY's appeals for news have been successful. Since the last report I have heard from several of our classmates. FOSTER RHINES, our Hartford correspondent, writes that

One who always communicated is JACK SWIFT - about this time leaving Pakistan from a long stint there as energy specialist. H e answered one of my previous questions. He does have a grandchild graduate, Trinity, Class of '94. Sin ce his oldest grandchild is 24, he may also be the Class's first great-grandparent.Jack contested with KENNY ALBRECHT as being the youngest member of the Class, so the odds are in his favor.Jack is enthusiastic about the great lignite deposits found in Pakistan, w hich will help supply this energy-short country with energy fo r generations. Jack is now resting in Maine and extends a cordial invitation to visit. (I have his address.)

SAL CAR.RABBA, highly respected Hartford obstetrician/ gynecologist, died suddenly on July 15,1994 at his home in West Hartford. Sal was one of the most active an d devoted mem.b ers of our C lass, always in attendance at Reunions with his lovely wife, Gloria, and always ready and w illing to assist in Reunio n-promotion work, notwithstanding a demanding medical practice. In fact, a review of Classmates in attendance at our five -year interval Reun ions from the signatures appearing in th e "Book of the Class of 1943" testifies to the presen ce of Sal and Gloria at every R eunion since the first one held at the H eublein Hotel in 1952. T he memo ry ofSal on theTrinity gridiron and in pre- n1.edical classes dur ing the early 1940s comes readily to m ind. T he intelligence, co urage and determination evident i11 his formative years remained w ith hi m throughout his life. T h e alumni office assured YOUR SECRETARY that details concerni ng Sal's many h onors and ach ievements wo uld be spread upon the " In Memory" section of this R eporter and , therefore, will not be detailed here. However, the 1943 Class Book descr iption of Sal w ill bring back fond m emories to fr iends and C lassmates, an d I quote," A good example of the more serious minded element at Trinity, Sal C arrabba came from Bulkeley High to spend most of his time and waking ho urs in the tough pre-med department. He found time, however, to play freshman fo~tb all and baseball, joined the Chemistry and N ewman Clubs, was elected President of his sop homore class and President of the In ternational R elations C lub." T h e deep

sympathy of the Class goes out to Sal's w ife, Gloria, his two sons and four daughters. DAN M ILLER, prorninent Hartford investment banker, died on March 26, 1994 at his hom e in Vero Beach , Fla. Dan also distinguished himself on the Trinity gridiron and as a memb er of Trinity's crew. D etails concerning Dan's life also appear in the " In M emory" section of this Reporter and, therefore, will n ot be recited in these lines. T h e authors of our 1943 Class Book said the following about our departed Classm ate: "Dan M iller possesses the somewhat startling combination of very great size an d very gentle bearing. H e can also combine a large amount of skiing w ith a very sh ort

weekend. Dan prepped at Middlesex, is a philosophy maj or, played fres hman and varsity foo tball, crew and is in the R owing Clu b." The deep sympathy of the Class goes out to Dan's w ife, Lelia, his two sons , his three dau ghters and his four stepchildren . R AY CUNNINGHAM is hard at work on the C lass of 1943's War Memorial effort. R ay's description of our War M em orial effort is publish ed in detail on page 4 7 of the July 1994 editi on of theReporter. All of our C lassmates received a letter over the signatures of Ray andYour Secretary concerning the War M emorial effort. Accordingly, yo u know our Class is leading the drive to raise sufficient funds to h ave inscrib ed on

' ' The Class as a whole, and the Class members in particular who initiated the afore-described Memorial Fund, will be heartened and pleased to read what alumnus PATRICK C. SCHEIDEL '7 4 wrote in his letter to Robert Pedemonti, Trinity Vice President and Treasurer: "A snappy salute to the Class of 1943 for 'walking point' on the War Memorial Project. The men whose names will appear on the memorial are to be commemorated for not only giving the 'last full measure of devotion' to their country, but also for having been value-driven individuals. These alumni demonstrate courage and loyalty, values in short supply today. To honor the ir names is to forever teach Trinity students the importance of values. Please accept my smal l gift to the War Memorial fund in the name of my father, Mr. Raymond F. Scheidel, the most courageous and loyal man I have ever known. It took my own combat experience in Vietnam , in the relative safety aboard the battleship New Jersey, to fu lly appreciate and understand the courage of my dad , who spent 48 months in the South Pacific as a combat sergeant in the U.S. Army. He was high ly decorated , including having earned , three purple hearts. By his example, Dad taught me the value of courage and loyalty.' '

College Treasurer BOB PEDEMONTI '60 reports our Class has responded well and contributions are held in a special fund for this singular purpose. All told, Trinity lost 64 men in World War II, including eight from the C lass of 1943: RICHARD W DEXTER, PHILIP C. DRYDEN, ROBERT R. HUNTER, FRANK C.JONES,JR., GEORGE C. NELSON,JOHN PEARSON, CHARLES W TOURISON and CLEVELAND C. WOODWARD. The committee, chaired by R ay, decided to expand the instription to include all 64 names, and the Class Secretaries of the several classes which lost members in World War II are being asked to participate. Subsequent editions of these Notes will keep you informed of progress. Meanwhile, those w ho have not yet contributed are urged to do so. Participation is of greater importance than the size of the gift.

We are happy to announce that our 50th Reunion was a slambang success on several fronts. Thirty-two Class of' 44 members and their spouses from all over the country returned for the Reunion . And the Class set a new, alltime Class Gift record for Trinity College. We raised about a third of a million dollars for our unique T' 44 M emorial Scholarship Fund. The Fund is unique in that our gift is particularly directed toward scholarships for prospective Trinity College students whose families have never had a son or daughter in college. Trinity College today is coeducational. Its student body now is far more racially and ethnically diversified than it was when we entered in 1940. We want to help fulfill the American Dream for all who realistically have limited chances to better themselves. Congratulations, Class of '44, for your generosity! The 32 Class of ' 44 members who returned to campus for our 50th Reunion were: EVERETT J. ANDERSON, DR. HARRY BALFE II, GEORGE S. BAXTER., DR.. ROGER G. CONANT, LEWIS S. DABNEY, EDWARD W DEXTER, DR..

Trinity's new President, Dr. BORDEN PAINTER '58, welcomed us back to Trinity. Obviously, it wasn't all business at our 50th. We played a little softball (not too well, I'm afraid, because of decreased bat speed), had a great clambake and other fine meals on campus, visited the Wadsworth Atheneum, enjoyed lots of other events on campus, and talked up a storm in many, many one-on-one and gro up get-togethers, too long delayed and postponed. It was really good to visit again w ith our classmates and their wives, and learn about their doings, their families, children and grandchildren, etc., etc. Apart from the Reunion, we have much more news from our classmates.

A letter from DAVID RIVKIN at the time of this year's R eunion (Dave spent three months in the hospital b ecause doctors were late in finding he was poisoned w ith streptococcus): "Sorry I missed the 45th Reunion last year. Now have one n ew valve and have gone from less than one m.p.h. on the treadmill to almost three. Hope to make the 50th." I'll b e ge tting on a treadmill myself to "certify" I'm up to walking th e "Camino" across northern Spain. For a thousand years Chris-

tian pilgrims have poured over the Pyrenees into Spain on their way to the Shrine of St. James . My intention is to fly to Madrid on Sept. 25, spend a couple of days, and then go on to Pamplona w here I'll b egin the walking.part of the pilgrimage (about 480 miles on foot), hoping to arrive in Compostela in time for All Saints' Day. Dr. J. BROOKS MAUE of Long B each, Calif. wrote to the alumni office about an incident that happen ed while he was skiing shortly after his 73rd birthday. " I cam e around a corner while skiing Snowbird, Utah, and there was a photographer clicking away. I was not prepared for a photo session: I was wearing' two hats - one of which was called 'the Mad Bomber' - and my fanny pack was twisted around to prevent i.ts getting in the way, when I sat down on the lift chair. I suggest you publish the photo to show that all members of 1948 are not moribund." Indeed, in the photo Dr. Maue shows flawless skiing form.

Ramblings from our 45th Reunion Weekend by your newly elected Secretary: Twenty-one of us made it back and enjoyed a great time, thanks in large part to the work of our Reunion Chairmen, BILL DUY, resplendent in his seersuckers and straw hat, and JACK GUNNING. Bill has just moved from New Hope, Pa. to Newport, R.I. to be near his daughter, and Jack still lives in West Hartford. Also, we have to thank our Class Agent, JACK PHELAN, of Meriden, Conn. for successfully spearheading our R eunion Fund Drive. He's the greatest! BOB CUDWORTH of Newington, Conn., now; vocational deacon at St.John the Evangelist in Yalesville, Conn., and SHERMAN BEATTIE of Old Greenwich, Conn., now a retired kindergarten teacher in New York, assisted at the Reunion Holy Communion on Sunday morning.

DAVE MCGAW of Seattle, Wash . once again came the farthest and still had enough energy to play in the softball game on Saturday afternoon. BOB BOWDEN of Glastonbury, Conn. tells us he is retiring after 10 years in the Connecticut legislature. ART PADDOCK was here for the whole weekend, all the way from San Francisco, Calif. RONALD URQUHART of Morristown, N.J. still continues to be very active in N ew Jersey politics. SUMNER SHEPHERD of West Hartford, recovering from a knee replacement operation, was still able to hobble around to the festivities. JACK BLAND of Spring Hill, Fla. combined his trip with a return to his roots here in Connecticut. Jack, a former Pipes member, still participates in local musicals in Florida. JOHN WILLIAMS of East H artford has retired from teaching at his Alma Mater.

Since your last report, o ur Class has had its 40th R eunion and for those of you who were not able to attend, I can tell you that it was a real success! Friday night was the clambake with our own tent and bar, with plenty of time to play catch- up with our classmates . We were graced with the presence of Trinity's president, BORDEN PAINTER, JR. '58 , for a short while, a good, low-key, interested person! Saturday daw ned too early, but after a good breakfas t at M ather Hall, most of us assem bled in the Alumni Lounge for our annual meeting. N ew offi cers elected for a five-year term were: President, GORDON W EST, fro m Beach H aven, N.J.; Vi ce President, GEORGE EGGERT, from D enville, N.J. ; and Secretary, DONALD READ, fro m Riverside, C onn. The highlight of the meeting was the fac t that over 66 percent of the Class had contributed to the Class gift totaling over

$70 ,000. Not bad for the great Class of 1954. Following the Class meeting, we all marched up to the N ational Association Annual M eeting, showing a great deal of spirit and size compared to other reuning classes . The Eigenbro dt Trophy was bestowed on our own ALFRED KOEPPEL, who has rendered unusual and significant service to Trinity and justly deserved the highest alumni award that the College bestows! Congratulations, Al! You have done the Class well! Luncheon followed this meeting, with the afternoon basically free for any of the activities that you wished to enter. Everything from tennis to softb all, n1.usic and art. Your Secretary chose to get beaten by JO H N HIGINBOTHOM at squash in the new courts! - a fa r cry from 1954! The Class reassembled for cocktails and dinner at Hamlin Dining Hall and settled into congenial groups with the usual j okes (bidding for JERRY HA N SEN '51's coat), good food, good w ine (thanks to MIC H AEL MORPHY), and a general relaxed atmosphere of fellowship. After dinner, the Class drifted off only to discover that the C ollege had provided a great dance band , tent, tables and more spirits. All set up miraculously on the Quad for our enj oym ent. This for me was the high point of the

CLASS

w eekend, for it was a real mixing ground, not only to see old fr iends from other classes, but to meet and make new ones from the other classes. For those of you w ho were not able to get to the Fortieth, plan now to be sure to attend the Forty-Fifth! No tes from classmates include one fro m HENRY KIPP, w ho is retiring this year after 34 years of government service. FRED POTTER writes that he can't stop working and is presently a consultant for Hughes Aircraft C o. in Saudi Arabia. He hopes to retire at some point to Greece, with winters in Arizona! Good luck, Fred! The Class, I know, sends good luck to RO N STORMS who has cancer, and the same to ERI C FOWLER w ho has the sam e.

good, runs in many marathons and spends as much time as possible at his summer home in C hatham on Cape Cod. Last January I changed the name and some of the ownership of my company w hen I completed a merger w ith a large graphic de- ' sign firm in Cincinnati, Ohio.

H e told me that after 10 years w ith Paine Webber, he had taken over the management of a fin e old midwestern-based brokerage company, McDonald & Co. Good name. Don also told me that his w ife, Gale, also a partner at McDonald & Co. , is conductor of the Naples seasonal band. Their two daughters visit every February, one from Windsor, Conn. and one from Winston Salem, N.C. TOM GUERTIN is hoping to sell his house soon (in Stamford, Conn.) and move to Palm Coast, Fla.

Please note: Robert D. Coykendall was incorrectly listed in the 1993-94 Annual Report of Gifts. He is a member of the President's Fellows, gifts of$5 ,000 to $9,999. Postscript: the alumni office has learned that Paul Campion is vice president/sales manager of managed futures for Smith Barney Inc. in New York City. Also, DICK NOLAN and Bob Pingpank are building a retirement home in River Bridge, a community in Greenacres C ity, West Palm Beach, with a May 1995 expected completion. Since June, Bob has been enjoying complete retirement from teaching. Dick, who preached in the Trinity Chapel on Reunion Weekend, is assisting part-time at the Episcopal Church ofBethesdaby-the-Sea, Palm Beach, celebrating the ninth edition of Living Issues in Philosophy published in August, and developing The Litchfield Institute, Inc., a professional association of independent writers and counselors.

A few of you have been diligent and good enough to remember your classmates through me and I appreciate it. I appreciate how hard it is to pick up the phone or write to me when your life - to you - probably seems to be no more remarkable today than yesterday. Let me assure you that any news about you or yours is appreciated by me and, far more importantly, your classmates. I try to call a dozen or so of each of you, but I can't get to enough of you to fill a page and hold down my job of selling papers on the street corner at the same time. So, you've heard it before and no doubt you'll hear it again ... WRITE, CALL, COMMUNICATE. I had a terrific conversation with GEORGE KROH today. I verbally abused him for shipping the heat and humidity east from Missouri, but it didn't seem to phase him. (Dear classmate: as you read this you'll no doubt be comfortable and perhaps watching the 10th or so pro football game of the season. But as I write this from East 42nd St., I can tell you it is one hot and humid day in mid-July. And to think that we were complaining about a harsh winter only yesterday, it seems.) Anyway, back to George. He is well and happy in Kansas City keeping busy with commercial real estate at The Provo Group while he and Carolyn help plan their daughter RACHEL'91 's wedding day. We spoke about our favorite places and agreed that a good part of the next 30 or so years will find both of us digging clams on the beaches of Chatham or Nantucket. JACK LAMOTHE is working hard to put what seems to me to be a brilliant plan into action. He

has developed a health maintenance business concept based on the melding of two tried and true business models that have been and continue to be remarkably successful in other consumer-oriented areas. His concept, which promises improved health and thereby an improved outlook on life and a better lifestyle, should work, it seems to me. Also, perhaps the best part of the whole thing is that it keeps him very young and, not to be overlooked, it keeps him from bothering Cynthia all the time. At the graduation for the Class of '94, I had a chance to catch up with RICK and Margy RICHARDSON. Their daughter, MERRILL '94, was receiving her degree and it was a good chance for us to chat although it was far too brief. The day was gorgeous for a graduation, however, and President PAINTER '58, received a standing ovation from the students during his warm and poignant "Charge to the Class of '94." BOB LANGEN and I caught up the other day on the phone. He says that all is just fine in his notso-little business, and life in general has been good. Kids are out of the nest allowing middle-aged sports and frequent sojourns to his South Carolina house to take up his free time. BOB PEDEMONTI and I keep in touch, and all seems to be going just fine at Trinity. Because of his careful stewardship, the College has a long and enviable string of academic years with a balanced budget. I think that I am going to ask my wife to spend some time in his office. BOB JOHNSON and I were talking about our approaching 35th Reunion w hich will be June 8-11 next year. It's not too early to mark your calendars! If you'd like to help with the planning, please give Bob a call.

''The LaMothes also report that they have a new dog (his name is Jake, if you can believe it. .. He's been accepted to Wesleyan, Class of '14) . They got Jake to keep Duchess (their other lab) company in her golden years. They are both black labs and terrific family members. But, why Wesleyan, Jack ... is he a little slow?''

The University School, Shaker Heights you-know-where, named Trin grads to two of its three positions last fall. One of these was BILL SCHWEITZER '66; the other, DAN MOORE. I have a copy of the U.S. Journal announcement article and it goes on to describe Dan's career accomplishments: Moore Plastics , Soundwich, Flow Polymers and Perfect Impression. All technologies for these businesses were developed by Dan T. Moore Company. Soundwich produces sound dampening engine components used by three U.S. auto makers. Flow Polymers makes homogenizing ;tids for the tire industry. Perfect Impression, Inc. focuses on products related to the footwear and sporting goods industries. The Journal goes on to report that Dan is also involved as managing partner of the Whiskey Island Marina on the Cuyahoga River. Did you ever think Dan could do this much work? Impressive! The alumni office received a letter from DAVID WICKS, JR. who notes that "it was a great pleasure for me to attend my 30th Reunion last year as I missed the 25th due to my father's death." He and Joan celebrated their 30th anniversary and chartered a boat in the British Virgin Islands. He wore a Trinity hat at the helm of the "Tortola Dream" which resulted in numerous conversations with other sailors about Trinity, the "Little Three" and Trinity's football team. His daughter, Sara '97 had a good year at Trinity, and he was looking forward to Parents'Weekend.

Our 30th R eunion in June

summoned approximately 45 of our best for an enlightening and uncharacteristically sob er three days on campus. As tradition would have it, this august C lass of ours maintained its leadership position with an ever length ening string of outstanding accomplishnl.ents. As all those who attended well know, the Class of '64 was one of the leaders in donations: $157 ,810 to b e precise. To those w ho stepped to the plate, thanks and congratulations. For those w ho stumbled on the way to the ch eckbook, there is still time to act. For the record, however, it was our ow n TOM MONAHAN w ho w ielded the velvet hammer in the 11th hour and thus ensured our leadership status.

As befitting our Class leadership, this year our contribution to the Alumni Fund was $82,000. According to our tireless Class Agent, JIM OLIVER, $82,000 is a non-reunion year record. As important, 56 percent of the Class contributed. This is 10 percent more than last year, and is an outstanding tribute to the Class and to the College. Our goal is to reach 75 percent participation, so while we have your attention, please write a check, for any amount, and send it in. Here are three reasons to contribute to Trinity: 1. it is better to give money to Trinity than to the "rob mob" in Washington, D.C.; 2. if you have ever used "Trinity College" on a resume, on an application, or in any other way to further your prospects; 3. if you are reading this column. If you are reading this column you are interested in the College, and you demonstrate a high pain threshold. Sending some dinero to Trin won't hurt a bit. Save Jim Oliver from dialing time and call him at 619-544-6545 to structure your $1,000,000 gift, or to chat about the joggers on the Pacific Coast Highway. Jim sends "congratulations and thanks" to all who contributed. Since we are on the subject of money, you should know that BOB BOSE was the subject of a five-page article in Vermont's Business Digest magazine. Bob is a money manager. That means he takes a chunk of someone's money, and grows it into a bigger chunk. In the article, "Bose thinks Investing is a Capital Idea," it was reported that a hedge fund Bob heads was up 18 percent giving it a "Barron's ranking of 11th in the country. Bob's clients regale him, saying, for example, "I have total faith in Bob. He got me a 20 percent return last year." The article explains in detail Bob's investment philosophy which is sophisticated and informed. Bob's company is called Green Mountain Asset Management Corp., and Barbara works part-time in their company. They live on Lake Champlain with their daughter, Susan. It is recommended you call Bob at 802-6587806 to get on the mailing list for Green Mountain's monthly market letter, or to get photos Bob took of Lake Champlain's Loch Nesslike sea monster. The Fifth Estate is diligent in its coverage of the Class of '67. (Oops, sorry Rosie, the "Fifth Estate" is an exudate description for the press, the media, newspapers, etc.) STEVE GRIGGS was the subject of a headline article in

The Hartford Courant's sports section covering the World Cup. Steve is Yale's men's soccer coach, where his success and knowledge got him heavily involved with Ireland's national soccer team and entry in World Cup '94. Steve was the link between the Irish team, World Cup USA officials, and the press. He traveled with the team in Europe, attended practices, and even sat on the bench during games. Steve is a good coach, as his 15-year 135-88-21 record attests. "Oh, 'twere it so at his alma mater," it is wondered wistfully. Steve lives in Guilford, Conn. and is always available to talk soccer, tennis and locks.

As usual Trinity had some excellent and interesting activities planned for our 25th Reunion to fill in around the best part, which is catching up on what has been going on in our lives since the last Reunion or longer. YOUR SECRETARY was constrained by the press of business and paternal duties to be able to enjoy only the Friday festivities. At lunch my hopes of having the youngest child (my newest son, Travis Albert, was born March 4, 1994) were dashed by JON LOMBERG who, no doubt, had traveled the farthest to attend (he lives in Hawaii) and is the proud father of a son born, if memory serves me, on March 11, 1994. I hadjoinedALAN MENDELSON and TED COOK for a sandwich in the Funston Courtyard (for those who don't remember, it's between the library and the chemistry building).

We were later j oined by CARL FRIDY and GRAHAM MCD ONALD. Carl gave me some pointers on inducing Trinity offsp ring to attend Dad's alma mater. C arl's daughter, SARAH ELIZ ABETH '93, is a recent Trinity grad. Graham showed admirable restraint in his attempts to have the Class Gift to the College exceed the modest goal that he was able to negotiate with the administration. Carl, Graham and Your Secretary took the Collegesponsored to ur of the Wadsworth Atheneum in beautiful downtown Hartford. T his tour was enhanced by a fasc inating presentation of what we would see by our own RANDY GORDON (Trinity professor of art history and author of articles with names that Your Secretary has great difficulty in typing for this column). At the watering hole at McCook after the tour, I spent some time with LEO MALLEK learning how he practices enough dentistry to spend as much time as he can farming. Leo 's daughter is a firs t- class lacrosse player. As if to validate that at our ages we are not "over the hill," PAUL BUSHUEFF tells me that he still plays hockey (and not only with the few in his age group) and loves blue water sailing. Also saw BRIAN T ITUS, who has developed the physique of the long distance runner.You may recall that Dan Jessee was quoted in The Hartford T imes, in 1968 as saying that Brian was the best catcher that Trinity had since ROGER LECLER C '60 (later a pro football player). W ith characteristic modesty, Brian insists that the compliment is the moral equivalent of being the best basketball player since Arnold Palmer. At yet another watering hole, this on the Q uad before the Friday evening clambake, Phi Psi brothers TOM D U NCAN and JIM J ONES got caught up. Tom's daughter, ELIZABETH '94, is a recent Trinity graduate. Also enj oying the evening were MIKE BEAUTYMAN whose law firm has recently opened a Denver, Colo. office to go with their offices in Boston, Mass . and Flourtown, Pa.; DON REDER who has expanded his mediation and alternate dispute resolution business to include a service called 路:focus" to provide insights to ht:tgators of the impact of their

YOUR SECRETARY appreciated the opportunity to attend a planning session meeting for our 25th Reunion during early July at the lovely Smith Alumni Faculty House at the College. Despite all of H artford's current problems, Trinity remains an absolutely bucolic oasis and is even more beautiful than when we attended it.

DENNIS LALLI sent a wonderful letter which reports his evolution from social work after Trinity graduation to partnership in the law firm of Kauff, McClain & McGuire in New York City. He specializes in the legal relationship between employer and employee. Despite h is time spent on " picket lines, protests and the like" in the '70s, he is most likely to be representing management and quite happily so. He is married to Sandra Littleton and they have a five-yearold boy, Joseph . Joe is apparently one of several offspring of the Trinity Class of '72 w ho loves dancing to Outerspace. Dennis reports that he sees the band on occasion, particularly COMPTON MADDUX, who lives a couple of blocks away. Speaking of kids, I had the pleasure of p hotographing the newest VIERING - Luke. It lqoked like he was inheriting the famous Viering red hair, but only time will tell. He was joined by his older sister, Schyller, and brother, Sam. PAUL VITELLO has been a columnist for the newspaper,

''When you think about it, our Class has done exceptionally well - despite the somewhat tumultuous times we went through. Each Reunion seems to bring a stronger bond to a group of classmates who were reasonably fragmented as we went through the Trinity experience . ' '

Well, we made it through the 20th R eunion! There was a great turnout and a great deal of fun was had by all. Class elections: I personally want to thank the outgoing Class Officers - DON HAWLEY, past president, and HARRY HELLER, past vice president, for their outstanding service and wo rk. Why I couldn't be outgoing with them, I don't know! Anyway, we had the elections for new Class officers, and I am pleased to report the new slate: EMILY HOLCOMBE, President, DAVID BARTHWELL, Vice President, and ME, Secretary (again for five more years - and that, as they say, is all he wrote). Reunion N otables: PETER SCHULLER and Don Hawley won the doubles tennis tournament; Emily Holcombe won the Alumni M edal w hich is awarded to alumni/ae w ho have made significant contributions to their professions, to their communities and to Trinity College; and AIMEE BROWN won the GARY MCQUAID Award, presented by the National Alumni Association to the alumnus/a who has demonstrated leadership as an undergradu-

Time is flying by again, with all of us trapped in midsummer heat, leaving me wondering if the rest of the year will go by as quickly as the first. There is news from up and down the East Coast, starting with REBECCA DUNN REINMANN who wrote that she married Paul Reinmann on June 18, 1994 aboard the Lady Fenwick boat on the Connecticut River.

those of us who attended. Let's hope that more classmates turn out for our 20th. It seemed everyone enjoyed getting the chance to truly catch up and hang out on the Quad, chatting or leisurely touring the campus to see new developments. Friday's and Saturday's beautiful weather helped afford us that luxury, reminiscent of our oncampus days. As well-educated as we all are, we found it difficult to follow the provided maps and wonder if, in five years, we could have maps designed for each class featuring "changes since you graduated."We can dream, can't we? Friday night's lobster/ clam feeding frenzy went well except for one exploding lobster an~ an absence of decent vegetarian offerings. After trying the cookies and brownies, we decided they not only tasted the same as when we were students, they likely were the same. Yuck. Saturday brought more people. But it seemed no one hung around Sunday; of course the bad weather didn't help. Saturday lunch was great (save those cookies and brownies) and dinner was lasagna, a change over the 1Oth's prime rib. We're wondering if some of the liquor money could go into better desserts and those new maps. Other general impressions from classmates: "Seems they're redoing Mather Hall for a change, but will they ever get it right?"

"Why couldn't the Cave be open and presentable during the weekend so we could have drinks and snacks readily available?" "Buildings and on-campus cafes weren't open enough and a guide to what's open when would be nice." "Gee, that information kiosk w~ gave as our graduation gift seems kind of pathetic." "Gee,Jones looks like a pit, worse even than when we were there." We all liked the new Smith Alumni House, particularly the large welcoming porch. And the new dorm on Vernon Street seemed nice enough, if a little sterile. We particularly liked the built-in, under-the-bed drawers. Joe Abraham, husband of JANE TERRY ABRAHAM, used the new physical education facilities and said they were terrific.Joe's a mechanical engineer, so I guess we can trust him. A word about Joe and architect David Neal, husband of SARAH WRIGHT NEAL: we couldn't have done it without them. The two guys were the official photographers, cheerleaders and Class of 1979 sign bearers. They bucked us up when we didn't want to march in Saturday's parade and wear our Class of 1979 baseball caps. Incidentally, Jane and Sarah won the prize for "best looking in baseball caps." Final note: we noticed that we are now "senior" enough to warrant bellhops to carry our luggage to

Although the mail from fellow classmates has been scarce, I have had a chance to catch up with some of you in the course of my travels this spring and summer. LEE CLAYTON and I and five other friends started off the summer with a five-day stay at a spa in Texas. We had a fantastic time, and cannot wait to return next spring.

KEE BORGES' performance as Hartford City Manager, the first female to hold the position. She was hired after 10 years as a lawyer 'in the corporation counsel's office, to replace City Manager Howard Stanback who resigned under pressure, the article says. Excerpts from the article exude the same tone of high praise: "Kee Borges has gained the respect of both elected officials and city employees for her direct, unbiased approach to the job." And "But in her quiet, behind-the-scenes manner, Kee Borges has demonstrated ... that she can run the city on in apolitical, professional manner." Later in the month, The Hartford News reported under the headline "City Manager Has Baby Girl" that Saundra and husband, PETER L. BORGES '80, welcomed their third child, Adriana Justine Borges, to the family (see Births). Congratulations on both these exciting accomplishments! A brief note from PHIL PEDRO of Portland, Maine cited his recent promotion to clirector of information technologies for ABB Service, Inc.

Rob and his wife have a new address in Mt. Desert, Mai,ne. TRACY NEWMAN BENHAM sent a letter to express her delight at seeing old friends at our last Reunion in June '91. (I have to agree. I literally fell down laughing reminiscing with SARAH NEILLY on one of those sublime June nights on the Quad.) Tracy continues, "I've been teaching for the last 12 years, most recently at the Hall Brooke Hospital School, which services kids with psychiatric disorders . My husband, Bill, works for the Private Industry Council in Bridgeport and recently became their manager for this region's summer youth program."

Setting a new style for public administrators Using an old computer in his basement which he has hooked up to a phone line, STEPHEN LEWIS '86 is providing access to information on the Connecticut legislature's public health committee. Administrator for the committee, Steve set up the system which allows concerned citizens to dial in and read proposed bills and agendas, as well as send e-mail for more information. Before the initiation of his program, anyone interested in committee activities had to pick up materials in person or wait for them to be mailed. Via computer, the committee's work is just a phone call away. Other government agencies are monitoring this creative, practical use of the information superhighway for applicability in their own offices.

The first 20 letters, phone calls or faxes, will get sent to them a miniature Trinity stocking cap. Since there are only 20,j ust 20 to be sent, you'd better get in touch with me before they're all spent.You'll definitely enjoy the hat and that's no joke. So I'd better hear from you soon, don't be a slow poke. Yep, yo u guessed it, I've spent a lot of time reading Dr. Suess books to the kids and I guess it's rubbing off on me! But the incentive is for real. I'll be sending 20 miniature stocking caps to the first 20 people who send in news regarding Trinity's Class of 1982 alumni.

Des e awoke at dawn to the sound of Arabic chatter and the strong smell of coffee. As we emerged from our tent, thankful the scorpions had not done us in during the night, I saw it, the creature I'd yearned to meet. It was big, looked mean, and smelled. As my hosts led me to it, I concluded this would be tougher than imagined. N ot until I had mounted the beast did I realize, to my horror, there was no saddle. Eight feet above the Sahara Desert floor, I was riding the camel bareback! Nothing in my eight years in the rough and tumble retail trade could have prepared me for this. Sure, battling the garment district in August is grueling. But, humid or not, 125 degrees is still 125 degrees. And while I've faced some big, mean (and, yes, sometimes even smelly) customers, none could spit like that camel. If my career hadn't prepared me for this adventure, my four years at Trinity certainly did. Coming from California to attend this "Small N ew England Liberal Arts College," I learned the excitement of arriving with no friends and leaving with many. From my Freshman Seminar and "Three British Novelists" course, I learned to consider varied perspectives. From Mather Hall dining, I learned that I can eat almost anything and not die. Unfortunately, Trinity did fail me by not offering a course on proper camel- mounting techniques! To get to the point: what was I doing in scorpioninfested, 125- degree, camel

country? My husband, Tom Sheehy '86, has some rather unique travel opportunities come his way as the Africa and United Nations specialist at The Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. Hence we had the good fortune to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary this past July in the heart of the Sahara Desert as guests of the would-be President of Western Sahara. A Cliff Notes History: Western Sahara, a Spanish colony until1975, has been an occupied territory for two decades. A planned referendum to determine its postcolonial future- independent state or incorporation into Morocco - never happened. Instead, Morocco marched 350,000 of its citizens into the territory to lay its claim. T his aggressive action received little interest in the world at large, and set off a 20-ye_ar struggle by the Sahrawi people, led by its political movement, POLISARIO,

to regain control of the country. In 1988, both sides agreed to hold a U.N.-administered referendum, but voter eligibility and recent Moroccan stalling over election regulations have become serious roadblocks to the process. This controversy brought us to the vicinity of Tindouf, a desolate corner of the Sahara Desert that Algeria offered to the 165,000 refugees who fled Western Sahara in 1975. Unlike the horrific scenes coming out of the camps near the Rwanda-Zaire border, the Sahrawi camps maintain a populace that is well-fed, healthy, literate and cooperative. This scene is not consistent with the prevalent American view of Africa as plagued by famine, disease and hopelessness. The most striking thing in the camps is the prestige enjoyed by the Sahrawi women. Unlike most other Moslem countries, the men, many of whom are still fac-

ing off the Moroccans at the front, value the women's role in raising the family and providing leadership for the community. Women hold most of the administrative posi路tions, and expect to control several seats in the future Western Sahara Parliament. As we observed no malnutrition and little discontent, these women must be of the doing a spectacular job in an environment that is beyond inhospitable. Within the camps there are three tiers of government: the daira (village), the willaya (town), and the Parliament (national). Basic needs are usually handled at the local level, to ensure efficiency. Such tasks include food distribution, education, basic health, and minor criminal matters. Education is given top priority and children are required to go to school until age 16, giving the Sahrawi youth a better than 85% literacy rate. Broader issues are handled at the willaya level, such as the running of hospitals (which were extremely sanitary, albeit rustic), graver judicial matters and general administration. The Parliament's role is mainly restricted to the consuming issue of advancing the referendum process. At all levels, the government is democratic, organized and responsible. I did not expect to find

these "refugees" maintaining a highly structured society in the middle of the desert. Nor did I anticipate the careful planning they have done to encourage successful independence. A constitution has already been drafted that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the citizenry of the future nation. Foreign aid is currently solicited in goods and services, rather than money, to prevent corruption now and in the future. A formal women's movement has been organized to ensure women's continued role in future decision making. And an ideology of democracy accompanied by a free market economy has been adopted. Doesn't sound like a typical African refugee zone, does it? In fact, with the United States' encouragement, the U.N. has a tremendous opportunity to initiate a peacekeeping success in Western Sahara. Morocco has a lot at stake in the occupied territory, but having agreed to hold a "free and transparent referendum," the U.N. will lose what's left of its tattered credibility unless it calls Morocco's bluff, putting an end to its stall tactics. The Sahrawi realize that reuniting their country will be difficult, but having witnessed their life in the desert for a week, I know they are up to the task.

Peter Voudour is is prac ticing law in C leveland, and he and his wife, BIZ '88, became pro ud firs t- time parents on July 24 of an eight pound , four ounce baby boy w hom they are calling "P.J." Mom, dad and baby are all doing fin e, altho ugh P.J. has proven to be quite a night owl, so Peter and Biz are a little sleepy. D ave Boone flew in all the way fro m Seattle for Ing's wedding, and we had a great chance to visit with D ave as he stayed with Murphy and me for a few days prior to the wedding. H e is curren tly working fo r a design / build firm in Seattle. Although Dave was happy to be back on the Eas t Coast for a visit (he even swung by Trinity after the wedding on the way back to Boston), he really seems to like the lifestyle in the Pacific Northwest. Bill and Lisa D etwiler are still living in Brooklyn but have what sounds to be a great summer place out in the Harnptons that they have been enj oyin g throughout the summer.

Hello and welcome back to the continuing chronicle of the Class of 1989. This column is being coedited by CIORSDAN CONRAN and ROBERT CUMMINGS. We were elected at Reunion to serve as your editors for the next five years until 1999 and our 10th-year celebration. FYI, yes, we are married (see the Summer 1994 Reporter), and we are not of the same sex (not that there's anything wrong with that!). Those of you w ho attended Reunion know that we tried to talk to all the '89ers to find out how you spent the last five years. Some of us have been working, getting more degrees, starting businesses and families, traveling, or all of the above. To start, we'd like to extend a big thank you to YUICHEE LEE, our first honorable Class Secretary, Esquire. Yuichee did a great job at a task that can be thankless and occasionally invites harsh criticism. Remember, this Reporter section is little more than the sum of its parts (with a bit of twisted editorial license thrown in). In other words, keep the news coming to either the alumni office or our mail/ email addresses printed below. For those of you who missed Reunion, it was a really good time. Lobster on the Q uad, Wheaton 313's continuous keg party, relaxing 'neath the elms, a soggy SAGA Sunday brunch, all combined to make an awesome weekend. One was reminded that we are bound together by at least one common thread, a Trinity education. This, along with the friends we made there can never be taken away from us. During Reunion, new officers were elected. We are proud to announce the new President and Vice President for the Class of 1989 are DOUG MACDONALD and SUE KINZ, respectively. Back to Class of '89 news: YANI KWEE andYuichee are planning to be married on Labor Day Weekend 1994. For now they

are happily coexisting within the same confines in Manhattan and enjoying every bit of it. Yuichee writes that he is sad to pass the Class Secretary responsibilities on and has offered to write as a guest reporter if the need arises. He wishes these editors luck for the next five years and hopes we survive with fewer bruises. Graduate school was a popular choice among our classmates. Those currently attending include KRISTIN BENNETT (Berkeley, Calif.) who is studying geology at the Ph.D. leveL Doug Macdonald (Boston) is finishing up his doctorate in pharmacology and experimental therapeutics at Boston University. GAVIN FREYTAG will be starting a business degree at the University of Chicago this falL BILL MONAGHAN (Nantucket) hopes to go to business school at Northwestern this fall. BOB MARKEE (Boston) hopes to finish his master's in Latin American Studies this August. CHRIS SMITH is attending Boston College Law SchooL ANDREW BLUME and his wife are spending the academic year in Florence, Italy on a Harvard Fellowship. It is another step that takes him closer to completion of his doctoral dissertation. ALEXA PURBECK GREER (Kenosha, Wis.) is in the clinical neuropsycholgy Ph.D. program at Chicago Medical SchooL PETER GREER works as a margins analyst for Kemper Securities in Milwaukee. BOB HOPKINS is at Columbia University's Business SchooL Recent grads: CHRIS COXON graduated from UConn Law SchooL Rob C ummings finis hed his MBA at NYU and just celebrated his fifth anniversary with AT&T; he really loves those acronyms. DOUG STEBB INS (Boston) just completed his MBA at Northwestern; he's working at Ernst & Young. Too bad for GAIL BELANGER - a nasty (and unprintable) rumor was started about her at Reunion by some unhappy cohorts, with the threat that she must attend all future Reunions or be subject to taunts. Gail completed a master's in creative arts and learning from Lesley College. SAMANTHA KOSTER (New York City) now has an MBA from Columbia University.

FIOL, who is engaged to an alum of the University ofWisconsin in Madison. They will be married in September in Boston and will go on a honeymoon to Bermuda. They will live on Beacon Hill in Boston. 路 The alumni office told me that MARCOS SANCHEZ is an account associate at a public relations firm in San Francisco. SCOTT TURNER wrote that after spending nine months in Colorado, enjoying the slopes and sun, he has accepted an invitation to serve in the Peace Corps in Guinea, West Africa. He left in June for three months oflanguage, health, and cultural training in Senegal and then he will be assigned to a small rural community in Guinea. His primary objective will be to teach rudimentary health, sanitation, and vaccination skills to address the high infant mortality rate. Scott also told me that he was in DUDLEY BLOSSOM's wedding this past spring in Pennsylvania. Congratulations, Dudley! DARIN STEINBERG spent the summer in Europe taking classes for his law degree from Widner Law School in Delaware. ERIC TAUBENHEIM is moving to London to work for Goldman Sachs.

The alumni office has his address for anyone who is interested. KIMBERELY (KOLESAR) KRZYWY wrote that she and

''Laurel Portnoy... "writes further of her years at Trinity, 'I carry wonderful memories and experiences of my four years ... wherever I go and look forward to proudly representing my alma mater wherever my life brings me.''

HENRY KRZYWY '92 celebrated the birth of their son, Martin Alexander, in May! Both Kimberly and Henry received their MAs from the University of Chicago and are now living in North Carolina. All are doing well and I wish them the best! This fall you can expect to receive a call from a classmate, fellow alum, or student from the College to ask you to participate in the Bantam Challenge: Every Gift Matters. A group of generous alumni and parents has raised $100,000 to .challenge the Classes of 1985-94 to support the Alumni Fund. Our participation matters! Whatever size your gift is, it will be supplemented with $50 by the Challengers. So, please respond generously this year. We need to hit 50 percent Alumni Fund Class participation. And what's more, Trinity gets $50 just by having you give. What a deal! Please participate. The alumni office has learned that JENNIFER LINCOLN is a buyer of women's better sportswear at Marshall's in Andover, Mass. Well, that's all the news I have this time. Take care, all.

I write to you all from beautiful West Hartford where it is presently a humid 92 degrees.It's mid-July and it is hot! Of course, by the time this is printed, winter will be well underway and Homecoming '94 will have come and gone (my, how time flies). So, I hope you all survived the dog days of summer. I myself spent it commuting to scenic Bridgeport, where I clerked for a judge at the federal courthouse. It was a great experience

and I am ready to finally finish up law school. Speaking of law school, JENN MURPHY will be attending Brooklyn Law this fall. She seems very excited and I wish her lots of luck. I saw Jenn at the start of the summer during a mini-reunion of sorts. PAULA CINTI was up in these parts for a while before heading off to Pittsburgh for a medical school rotation, so a few of us '92ers got together. Besides Jenn and Paula,JO MARIE RUCCI, KATHY KIMBALL and KAREN ISGUR were all in attendance. Jo Marie recently started a new job at Roadway Management and is really happy there. Kathy still works at Andersen Consulting and evidently has been doing quite a bit of work-related traveling. And Karen, of course, is still with the alumni office and seems to be enjoying it. She lives with LINDA BERNSTEIN in Rocky Hill, and encourages anyone coming to the Hartford area to give them a call, or call Karen at Trinity! Karen attended a Trinity Club of New York event at the beginning of the summer, and wrote to me about a lot of '92ers she saw there, including ADRIAN CASTELLI, CHRISTINA DAVISON, DAVE GERBER, MATTHEW HAIMES, MIKE NOVICK, ELIZABETH S. TOMLINSON and MIRIAM WOLFE. Karen also spoke to KATHLEEN THOMAS who just finished up at N.Y.U. film school. Kathleen will probably be heading out to L.A., but will keep her ties with N.Y. C. KIM WIDDESS and COLLEEN CURRAN were also there. Kim works in the public relations office ofBloomingdale's and Colleen is still at McCann Erickson. The two of them had a place in the Hamptons for the summer. (Thanks for writing with all that news, Karen! I really appreciate it!) AMY CHIODO called me last Memorial Day to share the happy news that she's engaged! Con-

CLASS

gratulations to Amy and her fiance. I'm not sure if a date has been set, but I'm looking forward to that wedding! Wedding bells will also be chiming for BETSY STALLINGS, who recently got engaged to Corey Welp. They're planning a big ole'Texas weddin' for next July. Congrats and much happiness! I recently spoke to CHRIS BEATON (he's lucky he finally called!) who was, at the time we spoke, apartment hunting, once again, in Boston. He had also just accepted a new position as a foreign operations analyst at Fidelity Investments. Chris told me that a few more Trin grads had recently moved to Beantown, including RACHEL ZOOB who's back from Israel, and BETSY LUDWIG who had been living in D.C. ANNE WEEKS is now in Boston as well. IAN FINDLAY, on the other hand, was planning on leaving Boston for the Big Apple (where he probably is right now!) . DIEGO ROCA dropped me a note a while ago with an update. After graduation, he took a job for six months in Ecuador with a shrimp farm . He then traveled throughout Southeast Asia, visiting such exotic places as China, Japan, Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam. As of April, he was working in Peru in the administrative sector of a department store chain, and was planning on a visit from DAVE BAGAN, NED ROLLHAUS and ERIC BROWN. (Thanks for keeping in touch, Diego.) Thanks to those who sent Reporter news to the alumni office: LYNN HINKEL-COWBURN reports that she and her husband are living happily ever after (with two cats in the yard, no less) in North Plainfield, N.J. (they were married in May of1993). In June, MARGOT RING wrote that she had just returned from El Salvador, where she was studying Spanish and doing volunteer work. She wasplanning on moving to San Francisco in July, to live with NESSYTHOMPSON and SARAH CHAPPELL. LAURA BICKNELL received her M.S. in chemistry from UPenn this past May. She then went to work as an international marketing manager for Cambridge Scientific Computing, a chemical modeling and drawing company in Massachusetts. LAURA CREASEY, who had been working on Capitol Hill, left in June for a six-week cross-country trip with RACHEL BALLARD. This fall, Laura is attending grad school, studying in-

ternational relations at either Tufts or Johns Hopkins (I guess she hadn't yet decided when she wrote). And I heard through the grapevine that Rachel will be attending law school at the University ofTexas at Austin. B. GRAEME .FRAZIER III '57 told the alumni office that COURTNEY DISSTON works as a marketing assistant at Wolf, Webb, Burk and Campbell in Philadelphia. This is the same company where ANDREW NEWCOMB '91 is employed. MEGAN SPANN lives in Arlington, Mass., and is studying for a master's degree in economics at Tufts University. This fall you can expect to receive a call from a classmate, fellow alum, or student from the College to ask you to participate in the Bantam Challenge: Every Gift Matters. A group of generous alumni and parents has raised $100,000 to challenge the Classes of 1985-94 to support the Alumni Fund. Our participation matters!

And what's more, Trinity gets $50 just by having you give. What a deal! Please participate. So that's the scoop. I just wanted to mention one little thing before I go. It's not that big of a deal. Just a small favor. I'm not going to beg you guys or anything. But, if you could, just once in a while, humor your Class Secretary and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE WRITE! It doesn't have to be long -just short and sweet. Geez, it doesn't even have to be sweet! Just write, already! To me, to the alumni office, I don't care! Just do it! I feel like I'm secretary to the Class of '22, not '92! O.K., sorry. The pressure got to me. Forgive me. Hope to hear from you soon ... Erin Kelly Galvin 82 Robin Rd.

m Another summer has drawn to a close. This, our second since being handed a diploma (our walking papers) 'neath the elms, has been an eventful one. Many of us, however, have decided to keep the events in question under our hats,

NOTES

and therefore we have been overlooked in the Class Notes. But not all, so on to the business at hand. Where to begin .. .Why not in my own current city-of-residence, Boston, Mass., a city so full of Bantam blue and gold that one can hardly set foot in a trendy bar without running into a familiar Gallows Hill visage. First off, moves. Former roommate, DANIEL ]. SCANLAN, has moved from his hip South End quarters to an even hipper pad a few blocks away, owing in part to his dramatic rise within the ranks of C. Cabot, Inc.: from office boy to business manager in a few short months. Congratulations! Whilst treading the halls of power, Dan was surprised to bump into GROVER HEINTZ who is working in town for Paine Webber. In Somerville, neighbors ASHLYN HILEY and LYNN WOLFF have decided to join forces and are rumored to be moving into an apartment located alarmingly near that of a certain class officer. Ashlyn, reportedly, has also started to work full time. I thought I felt an earthquake a few months back .. .Also, DAVE RIKER has been spotted in Slummervillle, -occupation unknown. PRASANT SAR has pulled the ripcord on Somerville and postgrad job #1, and less than 24 hours later was in the trenches with Daniels and Daniels, a local law firm. Partner only a few short decades away... Prasant and NICOLE D'AVIRRO are headed to plusher digs in scenic Alston, Mass. Amidst all of this furious and exciting action, there have been some departures. Sad as it may be, a few brave souls have chosen to flee the snug womb that Beantown has provided in order to pursue their futures elsewhere. WILL MACON is returning to his native land for a political science degree from American University in Washington, D. C. CRISTIN KEARNS, meanwhile, will be starting dental school just a couple of states away at University of North Carolina. CANDY CALON went home for a few months of rest in Baltimore, after which she will tearfully board her flight for the Carib - as she embarks on a medical school adventure in the island of Dominica. Candy won't be the first in the area, either - she reports that LUCAS TERRANOVA is already on his way to medical stardom at St. Georges University on the island of Grenada. In other medical news, PIPER SKELLY survived year one at

Medical College ofNewYork and will be returning to Valhala (no joke) for the next round of slavery after a summer which included an extended European vacation with the family of a certain more recently graduated Trinity female. Any guesses as to whom? New York remains another hot bed of Class of 1993 activity, though much of it seems to be legal these days. RACHEL TOTMAN, brimming with excitement over her new position with Christie's, sublet some of her apartment to RICH "LURCH" CORCORAN for the summer. She reports seeing RAJ GUPTA and SCOTT WELKIS at Trinity Club of New York events. Other sources spotted FELL HERDEG playing with his band in an unnamed bar, with an audience which included PETE CHARLES and CHRIS BLOOM. Rachel reports that JOHN GRAZIADEI will be starting law school at University ofPennsylvania. On the far side of the country, JOSH WHITTEMORE, along with CHRIS BEATON '92 appeared at my house in San Francisco for a barbecue one sunny day in July while I happened to be in town. It seems that Josh is now living in Palo Alto, Calif., and is embroiled in medical research in Palo Alto, research so secret that I have no idea what he is doing. JAMIE MURPHY, after exhausting the possibilities of Palo Alto, has returned to her native Long Island and begun working in N.Y.C. at Zen Music, a company which makes music for radio and television commercials. At least now we know whom to blame ... Jamie reports a recent visit to Boston revealed that LIZ WIEGAND and TEDDY MELLO '92 were sharing an apartment and enjoying city life, and that CHIP SWAIN is working at New England Sports Network (channel 9 on my cable network - how about yours?) and at "Cheers." Everyone ren'lember "Cheers"? That show went off the air while we were still in college, and our college is in Hartford. Hey speaking of Hartford (... and the 1994 award for best segue goes to ... ), SUSAN OLSEN survived her brush with death (though the powder-blue Blazer did not) to complete her master's of accounting course, and, hopefully has recovered fully enough to enjoy the wild party shack she and some friends rented for the summer in Newport, R.I. BETSYYAHN abandoned Hartford for the great state ofTexas and home, soon to 路

begin her master's of accounting program. She reports having enjoyed the wedding of DANA MEACHEN and CHRIS RAU, and wonders w ho w ill be next. Any volunteers? Also in Connecticut, JAY AIZASIE continues his successful tenure as a reporter for The New Britain Herald and even had a story published by the A.P. w ire. The subject? Barney Bashing. A jump to Colorado shows us that AMY MORSE is nearing the end of her tether as a w hite-water rafting guide (no, not Whitewater), and is beginning courses for a teaching credential for elementary education. Roommate JESS WELD, meanwhile, may be setting her sights on home ... ROSANNE SARAH BERMAN and JARED PAUL HALLER both have long names and are living in Boulder while Jared works on his Ph.D. in political science at the University of Colorado at Boulder. B. GRAEME FRAZIER III '57 notified the alumni office that BLAIR KELLER has accepted a position with Scudder, Stevens and Clark in Boston. During the past academic year, LAUREL PORTNOY was at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, pursuing a master of arts management degree. She writes, "Graduate school is quite challenging, but I have enjoyed the program and getting to know Pittsburgh. It's quite an interesting city...I am currently working (for the summ er) in the chairman's office of the National Endowment for the Arts . Although the relationship between the government and the arts has always been tenuous, working for Jane Alexander and the rest of her staff has proven to be quite educational. I wo rk directly for her counselor for special projects, assisting w ith fundraising and special events. I will return to Pittsburgh in the fall to finish the second and final year of my progran1." Lance Cpl. MIYUKI KUBA WATTS, who joined the Marine Corps in March 1993, has reported for duty w ith the 3rd maintenance battalion, 3rd force service support group in Okinawa,Japan. RICK ZEDNIK writes his news. His responsibilities as associate editor w ith'94 Cup Daily, a newspaper devoted to covering World Cup soccer, ended on July 17 . Then he was off to Prague w here h e taught English to 16year-olds. After that, he hoped to work in journalism in either the Czech Republic or Slovakia. His grandparents live in Bratislava, so he might settle there, but wherever

he ended up, he planned to stay for at least a year. Last but not least, rumor has it that two former Class presidents, CRAIG WOERZ and CHRISSY HEWITT, have merged their assets and " tied the rooster" or whatever it is the Trinity graduates do when that magical day comes. This fall you can expect to receive a call from a classmate, fellow alum, or student from the College to ask you to participate in the Bantam C hallenge: Every Gift Matters. A group of generous alumni and parents has raised $100,000 to challenge the Classes of 1985-94 to support the Alumni Fund. Our participation matters! Whatever size your gift is, it w ill be supplemented with $50 by the Challengers. So, please respond generously this year. We need to hit 50 percent Alumni Fund Class participation. And what's more, Trinity gets $50 just by having you give.What a deal! Please participate. The Class of 1993 can no longer claim the most recent graduates ofTrinity College. Another eager group has followed our , footsteps to the platform on Gallows Hill to begin the transition from one world to the next: the hopeful, yet untried undergraduate receives a diploma and begins that 路 next formative phase of life. As we pass the milestone of the first year on our own, the Class begins to show signs of age and of experience. Classmates have moved away from home for the first time, or to a new apartment or a n ew city. Jobs have changed, hangouts have changed, and clothes, hairstyles and attitudes have been modified to fit a new lifestyle. We have experienced the joys and pains oflife: success and failure, happiness and sadness, marriage and tragic death have come to the Class of 1993. One side effect of ilie ever-increasing distance between ourselves and May of 1993 is the increasing distance between one another. Life, it seems now, is a much more difficult and mysterious business, and we must concentrate intently in order to properly succeed. Along the long road to your ultimate destination, remember your friends, from Trinity and elsewhere, and make the extra effort to keep in touch. If you would like to see your name in print, write to me or to the alumni office, and let Trinity and your classmates know w hat you are doing. Jonathan E.

Hi, everyone! H ere I am writing our first entry fo r the Class Notes of the Trinity Reporter, and I promise to do my best at getting as much information in here as possible. However, please keep in mind that since I am writing this only two months after graduation, I haven't received any letters from anyone informing me about what you are all doing. Anyway, I have done my best to gather information, but it has all been sort of through the Trinity grapevine. So keep that in mind and whenever you get a chance,just drop me a line and let me know what is going on ... Well, since I am spending the summer just working and getting used to post-Trinity life before I enter that scary thing called reality, I have the time to sit down and crank out as much informatio n to you as I can. However, soon I will be surrounded by six-year-old girls at Greenwich Academy in Greenwich, Conn., where I will be teaching first grade and getting my master's from Manhattanville College. I have actually managed to do some traveling this summer which h as helped me in finding out news to tell you all. First of all, I started out my summer by driving cross-country with ANITA SHIN, DEB WATTS and LIZ DUNCAN. During our travels, we saw DAVE HETHERINGTON who was living in Vail, Colo. and working for th e Jerry Ford Golf Classic for the summer and early fall. I heard recently that he had run into LINDSEY DAVISON and WHITNEY CRANIS in a bar out there, too. Also reportedly spending the year in Colorado is JOHN DONOHUE . Once we got to California, we stayed with TASCHA KONTNY in Santa Ana, and she is planning on moving to Boston in the fall with Liz Duncan , who spent the summer in Laguna Beach, working and living w ith Anita Shin. Anita is planning on attending dental school in the fall, but until then she and Liz are enjoying the sun and sands of southern California . (Who wouldn't?!) Also in California is KELLI HARRINGTON who was teaching computer classes for the summer and planning a move to San Francisco in the fall with ELLIE FISCHBACHER and JULIE

EDLUND '93. She told me that STEFFAN TOMLINSON is also living and working in San Francisco. DEB WATTS and I returned to the East Coast and Deb started classes at H ahnemann University where she will get her master's in physical th erapy. She is living in a huge apartment in Philly with RACHEL SCHREIER '93 and ANGELA DENICOLA '93. She's working hard and having a great time. Recently, I spent the weekend in New York City with TOM SOCHA and CHRIS FOLEY. They are living together and working a lot, but they took time to spend with me and a few other people w ho trekked down there to visit them. Tom is working for Banker's Trust in a global assets training program (whatever that means!), and Chris Foley is working as a paralegal for Skadden Arps. Also doing the N.Y. C. paralegal thing are STEPHEN BRUEL, ROBYN ADCOCK and CLARE SCHNEIDER. Foley reports that JOHNVIENER is working at Goldman Sachs part time for the summer and that ANDY LEVINE has started working in a training program at Chemical Bank in New York. MARGARET PRYOR is also living and working in Manhattan. Also w ith me in New York for the weekend were KEN THRESS, CHRIS PILIERO, MARY LOGAN and ADAM KREISEL. Ken, your dutiful Class Vice President, is working for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston where he is very happy, but he reports that what he misses most about Trinity is not being able to leave daily voice messages for you all. Just kidding! Chris Piliero made the trip to N.Y. C. all the way from Martha's Vineyard where he is living for the summer and teaching tennis. Among others from Trin, he is sharing a house with BENJY LOEWENBERG and having a great time. Mary Logan, Adam Kreisel and KIM CLASH are now living out in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have also been in touch with MARISA FELT who is living in Manhattan and working as a cocktail waitress while she pursues her acting career. She is constantly auditioning, so watch for her on the .big screen. When I last spoke to her, she had lots of news to report on more '94s in, the Big Apple: First of all, she is sharing an apartment on the Upper East Side with KATHRYN HARKLESS who is working for Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising. Also in the city for the summer and fall is

CLASS ' NOTES

AMANDA JOHNSON who is working for a public relations company in the city until she moves to Boston where she will be doing research for Harvard. Go, Amanda! Rumor has it that there were several members of our class at a Trinity Club of New York event in July, including KATIE PETERSON, who is working in advertising in the city, and MARY TYLER and BETSY GRIMSTAD. KATIE POST and MONIQUE MILLER are planning on sharing an apartment in New York. Katie is currently working at The Gap in the World Trade Center and circulating her resume, and Monique is teaching at a school on the Upper East Side. GARY RAFFERTY is working for ' Federal Reserve Bank in New York, and is living with JAY TURNER. KATIE MCWANE is living at N.Y.U. and auditioning and working on her singing career. Another rising star is JULIE STRONG who was directing a production of Guys and Dolls in Connecticut, and then moving to New York. Marisa also reported that she had run into PETER FRIEDMAN in the city, and that he was planning on moving down to Washington, D.C. in September. Also in D.C. are EMELIE EAST and CHRISTINA BONACA, as ~ell as JUSTIN OLIVER, who is attending law school at American University. Washington, D. C. is also reportedly the new home of ERIK SCHWARTZ, DAN MONKS and CHRIS FELLEY, who is taking classes. In other news, the alumni office reports that ANGELA LATINA was awarded an all-expense paid trip to Italy for two weeks. She and one other Hartford student were awarded the trip to Floridia, Sicily, in order to share the culture and heritage of this city with residents of Hartford, its sister city. Way to go, Ange! Speaking of Italy, I have received postcards from SARA TITUS who is traveling throughout Europe for the summer with PIPER SKELLY '93 before she returns to the U.S.A. and moves to either New York or Boston. Also in Europe is LOUISE MESSIQUA who is spending the summer in Florence, Italy and brushing up on her Italian before she begins a teaching job in Italy for the year. JOY STRICKLAND moved to Santa Barbara to teach at a board-

ing school near there. Also in California is AL DAY who is living in San Francisco and working in the music business. ANDREA PICOTT is working for Shawmut National Bank in Framingham, Mass. Here in the bars in Fairfield County, I have frequently run into Trinity students and alums, including TIM ROONEY who is sending out his resume and living in Connecticut, as well as JOE AURILIO. Joe told me that he too, is looking for a job and that he is probably going to move in with BOB WITTIG who is working in Darien. Also in Connecticut is BENNA LYNCH who is living in New Britain near the West Farms Mall and working for Arthur Andersen Accounting. She is also taking classes towards her master's, is working hard and enjoying her job! Also in the Hartford area is ]EN WIN who works for Andersen Consulting. This fall you can expect to receive a call from a classmate, fellow alum, or student from the College to ask you to participate in the Bantam Challenge: Every Gift Matters. A group of generous alumni and parents has raised $100,000 to challenge the Classes of 1985-94 to support the Alumni Fund. Our participation matters! Whatever size your gift is, it will be supplemented with $50 by the Challengers. So, please respond generously this year. We need to hit 50 percent Alunmi Fund Class participation. And what's more, Trinity gets $50 just by having you give. What a deal! Please participate. Well, guys, that is all I can think of for now.. .I hope that you are all enjoying your lives and having fun. I can't wait to see everyone at Homecoming! Please be warned that I will be walking around with a pen and paper so that I can record all of the intimate details of your lives for the next Reporter! Until then, please write and let me know what you are doing so I can get you in here ... See you soon! Molly Thiele 214 Melody Ln. Fairfield, Conn. 06430 Class Agents: Stephanie E.

with Trinity offers many advantages. Either allows you to contribute any amount you wish to your pension fund, defer taxes, benefit from a charitable qeduction, and more. Trinity can also help those facing the possiblity of triple taxation of IRA accounts after death. Taxes levied on IRA balances often total 80 percent of what you want to go to heirs and beneficiaries! A charitable bequest to Trinity can reduce that loss strikingly. Those planning bequests may save poten~ tial taxes by giving other property to heirs while naming the College as the beneficiary of some or all of an IRA. When a person dies, the account's assets will be paid directly to Trinity and not included in probate.
