ACADEMIC BUILDING, adj oining Life Sciences Center (I.), is a major target of Kresge challenge grant.

Kresge Challenge Bolsters Campaign The Campaign for Trinity, now in its final phase, has been energized by a $500,000 challenge grant from The Kresge Foundation of Troy, Michigan.

To meet the challenge, the College must raise an additional $2 million by January 1, 1990 for two Campaign projects: the new academic building and the alumni/ faculty house. Both facilities are among the unmet needs of The Campaign as their actual costs will exceed the early estimates made at the outset of the $42 million fundraising drive.

The academic building, the first such structure to be constructed in nearly 20 years, will house the Computing Center, the Department of Engineering and Computer Science, and the Department of Mathematics.

The alumni/faculty house project, which will be named for the late Allan K. Smith '11 and his widow,

Gwendolyn Miles Smith, involves the renovation and expansion of an existing campus residence on Vernon Street.

"The Kresge challenge grant comes at a most propitious time," according to President James F. English, Jr. " It will inject additional excitement and interest during the concluding months of The Campaign for Trinity, and it will help us immeasurably in raising the additional funds needed for two important 路buildings. Trinity students, faculty, and curriculum will benefit from the new academic building; and both alumni and faculty will be able to enjoy Trinity's first alumni/ faculty house for years to come. We are grateful to The Kresge Foundation for its support of these projects," he said.

To meet the challenge the College plans to contact major gift prospects during the spring, and to conduct a telephone campaign in April to reach identified Campaign prospects in remote areas. A general solicitation of alumni, parents and friends will be conducted in the summer, well before the beginning

of the 1989- 90 Annual Fund. Additionally, corporations and fo undations will be asked to respond to the challenge.

The student body will respond to the Kresge challenge by sponsoring an auction in the early falL The first student auction, held in March, 1987, raised over $12,000 for financial aid. Among the popular items up for bid were vacation trips, dinners at local restaurants, donated services, furniture and handicrafts. Alumni, parents or friends w ho w ish to make a contribution or donation to the student auction should call the Development Office at (203) 297-2369.

Presidential Search Ahead of Schedule With well over 150 candidates to evaluate, the Search Committee has begun the winnowing process to select Trinity's next president.

According to Edward A. Montgomery, Jr. '56, chairman of the board of trustees and search com-

1

rnittee, "the quality of the pool is excellent and it contains many highly qualified individuals including chief executives of other colleges and universities."

Montgomery complimented the Committee for its diligence and indicated that there was a high degree of accord among the members.

"The various constituencies appear to have a consistent vision of the qualities needed to provide distinguished leadership for the College," he observed. 路 In late February the Committee conducted preliminary interviews involving about 25 candidates.

From this group, second interviews will be scheduled for a subgroup of these individuals. Subsequently, a small group of fmalists will be invited to campus for mutual evaluation.

"We are moving with deliberate

speed," Montgomery said, " and appear to be about a month ahead of schedule. I feel confident we will complete the selection process by the May Board meeting, and perhaps sooner."

Reunion Volunteers Set High Goals Hundreds of alumni volunteers in 11 reunion classes have been putting in long hours over the past several months, contacting their classmates, coordinating the special events for their individual classes, and trying to break existing records in reunion giving. Working with administrators in Trinity's alumni relations and development offices as reunion and class gift chairmen for Reunion '89, to be held June 15-18,

Family and Sports Highly Rated By Trinity Freshmen Trinity freshmen tend to be more family-oriented and athletic than their counterparts at colleges nationwide, according to a survey conducted last fall .

The survey showed that 69 percent of Trinity's Class of 1992 won a varsity letter in the past year compared to 47 percent of all freshmen surveyed. Seventy-six percent said it's important or essential to raise a family, contrasted to 67 percent nationally.

Sponsored by the American Council on Education and the Graduate School of Education at the University of California at Los Angeles, the survey questioned 222,296 full-time freshmen enrolled at 402 colleges and universities in the United States on everything from religion to family income.

Considered a barometer of freshmen attitudes, the survey has been conducted since 1966; Trinity freshmen have participated since 1977.

The report presents data separately for each institution, for men and women, by school type, selectivity and by geographical region .

Responses from 478 members of Trinity's freshman class were compared both to the national sample and to a group of29 very highly selective, non-sectarian, four-year colleges.

Many questions were college-related. Sixty-two percent of Trinity freshmen applied to five or more colleges; 76 percent said Trinity

The primary focus of the Foundation, one of the nation's largest in terms of annual grants, is on grants to colleges and universities, with particular emphasis in the fields of earth sciences, engineering, and medical research. In 1985, it awarded a $350,000 gra~t toward development of the automated Connecticut-Trinity-Wesleyan Library Consortium.

The Alden Trust, of Worcester, Mass., donated $50,000 toward the construction of the new academic building. The new facility will house the Computing Center, the Department of Engineering and Computer Science, and the Department of Mathematics .

This gift is the Trust's second to The Campaign. It awarded Trinity a $100,000 challenge grant in 1986, which the College m.et by raising $200,000 for financial aid. The combl.ned funds of $300,000 were used to establish The George I. Alden Scholarship Fund.

Any and not Barbara Benedict; On page three, the article about E. Finlay Whittlesey' s appointment as Seabury Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy should have read that he undertook research at Princeton University in 1962-63.

D eclining Science Interest Concerns Faculty "A

merican teenagers scored las t in math and well below the mean in science in an international survey whose results 'pose a serious challenge to our position in the wo rld co mmunity.'"

Such w as the lead of an Associated Press story about an Educational Testing Service repo rt released in January. The repo rt was no surprise to Trinity faculty in mathem atics and science, but it is a matter of concern, no t onl y at T rinity but across the nation. " It's grim," D avid A. Ro bbins, chairman of mathematics, says of the situation .

At Trinity, the combined number of students maj oring in m ath and science peaked at 115 in 1987. The number graduating w ith degrees in these fields in 1989 is 68, the lowest total in any of the las t 11 classes.

And it is ex pected to slip to 58 in 1990.

Trinity faculty point to vario us reasons for the declining interest in scientific fields. Among the theories - som e put fo rth in professional j ournals and others anecdotal - are: -Students, and man y times parents and teachers, think math is difficult and requ ires talent. A recen t repo rt by the N ational Research Cou~cil noted that " only in the U .S. do people believe that learning m ath depends on special ability."

-Children are becoming passive learners. As Professor of C hemistry Henry A . D ePhillips, Jr. suggests, seeing a movie no longer involves researching theater schedules and making detailed plans: popping a videotape into a player is all that is required.

-There is a m ounting belief that one can make mo re m oney on Wall Street than in a field like medicine. " Students perceive they can make more money fas ter in other. professions, " says D onald B. Galbraith, chairman of biology. They want to have an income immediately after graduating.

-The w ork ethic is declining. A

student w ho enrolls in a history course earns 1 credit for attending 150 classroom mi nutes each week, says DePhillips; but a studen t in a chemistry course is required to spend 150 minu tes in classroom and 180 minutes in a labo ratory for only 1V. credits. "Students know that if they go into the sciences, they'll have to put in time and effort; and there isn't that commitment, " he says .

- Students fa il to see the range of careers open to them as science graduates . Ro bbins says ma th majors can become lawyers or N avy pilots or insurance salesmen, fo r example.

Trinity chemistry graduates, adds D ePhillips, have gone to work for IBM and Arthur D. Little. "What they fi nd is that the skills they developed here serve them well there," D ePhillips says.

Joseph D . Bronzino, chairman of engineering and computer science, says declining interest in ma th and science is a " global problem tha t is no t going to be addressed by colleges w hen students get to them.

Offbeat Coverage Features Trinity You have to get to students when they're young."

Bronzino says an example of Trinity's outreach efforts is the Connecticut Pre-Engineering Program (CPEP), of which the College is a founder. CPEP provides special activities to middle and high school students in Hartford, particularly minority youngsters, to encourage interest in math and science. It also offers support to secondary school teachers in these fields .

David E. Henderson, chairman of chemistry and director of the Interdisciplinary Science Program (ISP), says much of the problem can be traced to the teaching of math and science at the primary and secondary school levels. Many teachers are "uncomfortable with science education," he says.

"Teachers often believe that they're successful if the kids memorize 50 vocabulary words for the first test, " he explains. "They treat science as a body ofknowledge to be memorized, and kids get turned off.

The students don't see that science is an ongoing, living process - that you can do science and make discovenes. " That's what the ISP does," he continues. "We look at the process of science rather than a particular body of facts ."

Galbraith agrees with Henderson that teachers of early grades are key to inspiring interest in math and science. "Many young teachers who went through open curriculums (such as the one Trinity had until this year) may never have had a science course," he says. "We need to raise a generation of elementary and secondary school teachers who are at least comfortable with science."

He says the National Science Foundation is reallocating funds to support science education at the primary and secondary levels, and that is reason to be optimistic.

"I think we're at the bottom of the curve," Galbraith says. "I think it's going to turn around ." •

The College's name appeared in the news recently in some unusual outlets.

In Alma Mater: Unusual Stories and Little-known Facts .from America's College Campuses, Trinity was featured in several categories. Published by Peterson's Guides and written by Princeton University administrator Don Betterton, the book provides an insider's view of American college life and uncovers unusual aspects of life in higher education - historical, intellectual, extracurricular, and financial.

Among the off-the-wall facts recorded are: largest university fine for an overdue book ($1 ,053.60); oflbeat clubs, such as the Society to Stop Continental Drift at the University of Texas; and the longest road trip in history - by the Willamette University football team, stranded on Oahu for three months after playing the University of Hawaii the day before Pearl Harbor.

Trinity is noted in the book for its architectural design in the Collegiate Gothic style; as one of several American colleges and universities named for George Washington (its original name was Washington College); and for the generosity of the residents of Hartford in donating labor and materials to found the College in the city. Trinity is again listed among the colleges educating Pulitzer Prize-wiriners; and among the top ten in liberal arts colleges graduating high-level business leaders.

The December, 1988 issue of Inc . listed the 500 firms chosen from among 17,000 which qualified for the magazine's "Inc. 500." Verifying the information on the nominees' qualifications involved painstaking checking of facts with officials and accountants for each company and was accomplished mainly by phone calls made by the magazine's summer interns.

Among those interns, according to

Inc., Trinity senior Vera Gibbons of Mattapoisett, Mass. merited special mention. The magazine noted: "Gibbons' telephone manner must have been impressive - two CEOs asked her out, and another proposed marriage."

When asked about the report, Gibbons agrees that "some of them were actually pretty insistent." The literary writing major says that she quickly became comfortable with the telephone interviewing process.

"We did ten or so a day at the least," she says.

She recalls that she thought the romantic overtures were "pretty funny ." "To see it in print is different," she says. "I hoped it wouldn't lessen my credibility, because we did some pretty serious work there."

Science Seminar Examines Greenhouse Effect

I

6

s our planet experiencing climactic changes due to the "greenhouse effect" (the melting of the polar ice cap following the release of certain gases into the atmosphere)? Can conservation and remedial measures overcome the damage that has already been done? Are legislators and world leaders concerned about the problem?

Sophomores in Trinity's Interdisciplinary Science Program (ISP) don't have answers to these tough questions. They did, however, spend the fall semester studying the problem and researching possible solutions as part of a one-credit, yearlong seminar on controversies which arise in the application of science and technology. The course is the second-year offering for students in the ISP, a pilot program of intensive study in the sciences and mathematics for selected students, which made its debut at Trinity in the fall of 1988. Continuing on a theme of controversy and problem-solving in science which the students explored as freshmen, the fall semester seminar engaged them in data gathering on solutions to the greenhouse effect, the formulation of position papers and a public debate on the issues . For the debate, the students were told by David Henderson, professor of chemistry and the ISP coordinator, to think of themselves as a U.S . Senate select committee on energy policy, charged with drafting legislation to combat the problem .

The December debate was lively.

Having invested time and energy in the study, the sophomores showed loyalty to their own solutions and a healthy skepticism for those of their classmates. They questioned each others' "expert" opinions on the safe disposal of toxic waste, on the wisdom of building more nuclear plants, or on rebuilding used-up plants . Jon Knapp, who had studied nuclear waste as a resource, fielded some of the questions on disposal of toxic waste, advocating underground burial as the safest method .

Bryan Blood argued spiritedly for a "Manhattan project" for solar

power, tax breaks for those who investigate its use for space heating and hot water heating, and allocation of some of the money now spent on the nation's defense for "the cleanest and most abundant form of energy that we have. " Tracey Dellaripa urged the commitment of S30-S60 billion to reforest the entire U .S. Such a massive reforestation effort, she said, is a short-term solution that would " buy us time - 20 years - to revise the energy policy.

"Trees," she explained, "absorb carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it as woody biomass. However, we would need 120 million hectares of trees in order for the U.S . to reach equilibrium with what we're putting into the atmosphere every year - 780 million tons." This amount would, of course, be impossible to achieve.

The U.S . consumer uses about six times as much energy per person in kilowatt hours as the average person around the world, she said .

Sean Cooke had studied nuclear resources. "Most of the world is now trying to work on new technology, including breeder reactors," he said, "which supposedly can produce enough nuclear fuel to power nuclear energy for a millenium or longer. " Margaret Flynn pushed for recy-

cling of waste: "Recycling not only conserves the waste that is burned, but it also conserves energy in making the new product."

Santiago Vicente investigated the tried and true energy form: hydroelectric power. "Five percent of our total world energy comes from it. In the U.S . it could be used much more." To much laughter the sophomore also noted a major advantage of this form of energy: "You spill it, nothing happens."

Jennifer Manley, who investigated fossil fuels , said that good effect could be attained "just by conservation, for a while anyway. One example would be to set the m.p.g. limit on automobiles."

Christopher Goodridge saw a future for fusion . "As a long-range alternative source for solar, people arc optimistic about fusion," he said .

The total tab for implementation of all of the proposed "soiutions" was approximately S270 billion; in some cases the costs were estimated for a 40-year period .

To these 19- and 20-year-olds, the cost was less important than the outcomes. Sean Cooke noted that reading articles about the greenhouse effect was "quite alarming. What these articles say is that, unless we're mistaken, this could be the end of the world . We're producing enough waste to kill ourselves."

Margaret Flynn advised: "We as the committee have taken it upon ourselves to stop saying, ' We'll let them take care of it in 20 years. ' We should take care of it now for them, so that these methods can be developed and perfected into safe, effective ways to produce electricity by the time these people need them ."

Karen Bean, who studied fission, argued that the time to work on solutions to the greenhouse effect was now. "Although we' re not sure we're in the throes of the greenhouse effect now, isn't it better to take precautions and find some way to combat it now, than to say, 'let's not do anything about it until we're sure.'

Because, by the time we're sure, it's going to be too late."

Faculty Research Projects Funded The development of an undergraduate computer graphics laboratory is among four faculty projects recently awarded external funding.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) made a $22,010 grant to August E. Sapega to develop the laboratory, which will support course work and independent study projects in computer science. Sepaga is Karl W. Hallden Professor of Engineering and coordinator of computer services.

The laboratory will consist of five state-of-the-art Sun 3/60 color work stations, as well as a laser printer anq color plotter. Among other things, the facility will support a new, upper-level computer science course in computer graphics and a senior-level mathematics course called " Fractals and Chaos. " Dina L. Anselmi, assistant professor of psychology, also received a grant from the NSF. The $5,442 award will be used to upgrade Trinity's developmental psychology laboratory. The improvements will enable students, who currently participate in research studies that involve the testing of young children,

to study a wider range of developmental questions and learn a variety of data collection techniques.

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded three $3,500 grants to: Maurice L. Wade, assistant professor of philosophy; Sonia Lee, associate professor of modern languages; and John Platoff, assistant professor of music.

All were grants to attend NEH summer programs.

Fire Damage Repaired At Deke Fraternity Alumni and undergraduate members of Delta Kappa Epsilon have combined their resources to restore the section of the fraternity house damaged by fire last October.

The fire , which was attributed to a heater igniting a couch, resulted in damage to the second floor and roof of the 1963 addition. The house has been closed since the fire .

In February, DKE contracted to have the roof and mechanical systems repaired. Subsequent drywall installation and finishing will be done by the undergraduate members.

The fraternity plans to reopen the house during the spring semester.

Education WithoutBonndaries rinity's international student population today is a new breed from generations past. First of all, there are more of them. In the 1988-89 academic year more than 30 students from 27 countries are studying at the College as undergraduates. As the number of international students has increased, so, too, has the College's commitment to providing financial assistance; a number receive nearly full aid.

They are also more diverse than in the past. Where formerly they came primarily from Western European nations, increasingly now they also come from Third World and war-torn areas - the Gaza Strip, Iran, Nepal, Somalia, Zambia, Botswana and South Africa.

This year there are undergraduates from Mainland China and, for the first time, the U.S.S .R. studying at Trinity through precedentsetting exchange programs with those countries (see accompanying stories) . Often the international students are older than the traditional undergraduates; sometimes they have families of their own.

Some from Third World countries early in their young lives have assumed the difficult role of political activist, working in seemingly Sisyphean attempts to bring about change in their countries.

These students add a whole new dimension to life at Trinity from their contributions in the classroom and in campus organizations, to meaningful exchanges with their fellow students in the Cave and on the Long Walk, to the jobs they hold on campus.

From the powerful messages of freshman Wandy Mothudi's paintings of life in Soweto, to the continuing efforts of South African students to educate about political oppression there, to the latenight gab sessions in Funston Hall of Soviet student Georgii Okribelashvili and his dorm-mates, international students are making a difference at Trinity.

The problems that they face are considerable. Difficulties with language are paramount for many, but homesickness, adjusting to a "foreign" culture and even coming to understand the differences in the American system of higher education are also obstacles. This year, for the first time, Trinity instituted a new section of English 101 for students of English as a Second Language, according to Paula Chu- Richardson, associate dean of students, who is also adviser to international students.

Wandy Mothudi '92 The following article is reprinted with permission ofThe Hartford Advocate.

Th e article appeared in D ecember during Mothudi's first art ex hibit . In that ex hibit, and a subsequent one, all of his paintings were sold.

andy Mothudi's art was what brought the black South African to Hartford, literally. He applied to many American schools and received a scholarship from Trinity - his first choice because of friends nearby and the good reputation the College has - to major in fine arts. To raise m oney for his air fare he gave 20 of his paintings to a Newsweek journalist to sell for him in the states. Fortunately, Mothudi's art sells fast.

It took him a month to get the plane fare and now, four months later, his first show at Trinity has resulted in the sale of all but three of his paintings - quite an achievement for a 20-year-old college freshman.

But Mothudi is no newcomer to the art world. His father is a sculptor back home in Soweto, and Mothudi has been painting for eight years. After refining his style, graduating from an " open school" for the arts in South Africa which he attended on Saturdays while getting his diploma from regular high school, he went on to attend a university in

thou gh his subject matter tends to be slice of life, some pictures, such as " Last Night at the Discoteque, " are drawn fro m comparisons of life at Trinity with recollections of South Africa .

As M othudi's work attests, it's hard to depict South Africa without touching on the politics. In " Searching" the simply drawn fi gures seem lost and looking for something. Mothudi says they are "~ea rc hin g for freedom. " " Student March on Pretoria," w hich shows black and w hite students marching together , expresses M othudi 's ho pe that "white and black people should start up a new South Africa." He di d the painting in 1980 during a

spate of student protests. But even though his school was integrated, apartheid was still felt.

"For a black ·man and a white man in South Africa to communicate, • think it's going to take a long time for them to get used to each other," Mothudi says.

H e feels education is the key to freedom in Sou~h Africa, but there are barriers to this. " The school system is not open to blacks in the same way as whites .

It's not a free education," Mothudi says, explaining that the education for placks is very specialized, not allowing for the kind of well-rounded education he is findin g at Trinity. It's also very hard for blacks to get into college in South Africa, Mothudi said. " Education will be the most important thing, and from there we will be able to fight in a very intelligent way, " Mothudi ~aid. " A lot of young blacks have lost hope. You can understand that the government is using us, playing with us, but I still say people should get education. " Degas, Michelangelo, Gauguin and Da Vinci are Mothudi's favorite artists, and he says he'd also like to be a great artist one day. But right now he is "more concerned with helping young people in South Africa." After his four years at Trinity he hopes to return to South Africa and, given his emphasis on education, take the logical next step - become a teacher. • · Jayn< K«dl<

fore their arrival is limited. She writes each one a welcoming letter, asking to meet with them within the first few days of their arrival to see that everything is all right. Some of them can't arrive until after classes have already begun. Sometimes days , or weeks, go by before she learns that they have a problem in some area.

"I remember when Jackson Mwalundange first came, I spent quite a bit of time with him . But, it wasn't until I happened to go by his room after he'd been here three or four days, when I saw no sheet, no pillow, no nothing in his room. I really had to train him that it's okay to ask for things.

"By and large, these are n!al survivors, otherwise they wouldn't be here. They've got really good instincts and are used to operating on their own. That is their saving grace, and it's also sometimes what makes it really difficult at the beginning, because they want to be independent and here they are in a community with expectations that are completely 'foreign.' They have to lean on people."

Differences between the American system of higher education and those of other countries also create problems. In some other systems, the student's knowledge is tested in comprehensive exams at the end of the term, rather than in quizzes and papers throughout. She recalls one such "educational orientation conflict."

"We had two extremely talented students from China who finished here last May. They were used to exams for mastery, where you show you have mastered the material. A lot of our exams are more competency- based, where you show how well you can do this very difficult academic task, wrestling with an essay question, for example, pulling in all the information that you've absorbed in the semester and putting it into some sort of cohesive argument.

"So, when the Chinese students sat down to take an exam in that first semester and saw that they were not going to be able to do it perfectly in 50 minutes or 2Vz hours or whatever, they couldn't do it. They closed their blue books and they didn't touch the exam. So, I had to talk with them about a completely different orientation for examinations. One of the faculty members let them take home an exam and given eight hours, they did it perfectly. They wrote some whiz- bang essays and integrated the knowledge of that course in a way that most American students would never demand of themselves. American students are used to really rushing through an exam, doing the best they can, but not expecting that it's going to be publishable, or anything like that."

"Almost by definition," Chu- Richardson says, the international students have to be highly motivated . "You do not leave home and family and the comfort of a tradition that you're familiar with without really figuring out why you want to be here. There are students who are coming from very oppressive situations, and there 's a why for you, but it's still a purpose: to get out of an oppressive situation or to go back to it empowered to change it.

"They come, typically, with a pretty strong sense of self. They have to . They're self-directed and bright. It's the unusual domestic student who is as brave, I would say, as the international students have to be.

"For those from Third World nations, I think that coming into a predominantly white institution is more difficult for a person of color. All international students, of course, are viewed as 'different' continued p . 14

Jackson M walundange '90

I

n his young life, Jackson Mwalundange '90 has experienced more physical aanger, terror and struggle than most Trinity students can expect to see in a lifetime. He has seen b is friends shot and starved, his house bombed, and continuing threats made against his life.

Right now the thirty-year-old Bishop Tutu Scholar at Trinity is a man without a country. Born in Namibia, Jackson left his homeland in 1974 to work with other political activists in the South West African People's Organization (SW APO) in Zambia.

Though the goal for him and the others was to bring about change in Namibia, soon division within SW APO itself placed him in disfavor with the organization. " About 2,500 young people were rounded up and put in a concentration camp," Jackson says . " We were there for something like a year. We were starved, we were shot, everything was done to us. We were just isolated, surrounded by the Zambian army."

Of the original detainees, Jackson says, only about 200, including him, decided to leave SWAPO. They were given refugee status in 1977 and allowed to live in a camp operated by the United Nations and the Zambian government. Even now those 200 activists live in danger, Jackson says, citing incidents of attempted ambushes, poisonings and death threats. Shortly before he came to Trinity, his house was bombed. In the same series of attacks some of his friends were killed, others wounded. Jackson knows that he cannot return to Zambia, even though his wife and children are there.

His is an incredible life story.

Even he recognizes that the terrors and cruel treatment he endured路 because of his political views seem incomprehensible to those hearing his story within the safe walls of Trinity. "To you Americans it may sound strange," he says, "because you think, 'How can black people kill

Jackson Mwalundange '90 black people?' and furthermore, 'How can freedom fighters kill freedom fighters?' It is a struggle for freedom , but in that struggle, there are some other private interests as well. People are defending their own personal interests."

From the beginning Jackson's "personal interest" in the movement was in getting an education.

In his homeland of Namibia, which is currently controlled illegally by South Africa, he and other young people were kept from getting an education and a job because of their political activities against the government.

While he was in the refugee camp in Zambia, he tried to get an education, but the Zambian government would not allow the detainees in their public schools. " We were not allowed.to go to school," Jackson explains. "But we had amongst ourselves teachers and some other professionals.

We could really help each other.

We started teaching ourselves, getting books . . . . We had to arrange with the government so that we would sit for their public examinations, and we did it.

That's how I completed high school."

After completing a three-year program in electrical engineering

at a Catholic technical school in Zambia, Jackson worked for a while. But, he still wanted to go to college. He had tried repeatedly to gain entrance to the University of Zambia and had applied to colleges in the U.S. and even in West Germany.

"Things were not always easy, until the (establishment of) the Bishop Tutu Scholarship Fund," he says. "They didn't tell us when those people (from the Tutu Fund) were coming. We just kept on checking with the office every day. We were given exams, and the colleges had to choose. I didn't even know Trinity at the time."

Jackson arrived at Trinity in August, 1986. He didn't know anyone and had no blankets or winter clothes, but he found people at Trinity to be warm and friendly . "Although on my arrival here, I was told that the Trinity community is a little bit conservative, I didn't really fmd it so conservative. The community is very open . Although they may not know a lot of other countries, still they are very, very open. I really enjoyed the company of my freshman dormmates. They were really good friends. They helped me in every way to make my life compatible."

Early on Jackson needed the help of his new friends. At first, English, a third language for him, was a problem. "I could turn my radio to BBC London, and I could understand," he recalls, "but I could not understand people when they were speaking with their American accent."

Then, he ran into difficulty with a computer science course which was a prerequisite for his engineering major.

From the beginning he knew he had a problem with computer science. "I had no idea what a computer was. I had heard of it, but I did not know how it functioned. I tried to read in the textbook what was written there, but I couldn't really understand what it was. We were given problems to run. I saw my friends handing in something printed. I didn't even know where the computer room was."

That first semester while he holed up in his dorm room, studying the computer science textbook, and spent his nights in the computer center, attempting to run the assigned programs, his dormmates were worried about him. "I was in my room, studying and struggling with my program," he says, "and they thought I was lonely. They were there, knocking on my door, wanting to take me somewhere.

They tried hard, but because of my problems, I could not socialize a lot. But, they were good.

They were really willing to fit me in their society. " Jackson says that Trinity's small size allows him a ready access to faculty and administrators that some of his fellow Tutu Scholars at larger universities do not have. He thinks, though, that the College's exposure to foreign students, particularly those from the Third World, has been limited. "You have had what you call 'foreign students' here, but they are not foreign in the real sense. Children of foreigners who are residing in the U.S. are not really foreign . By culture and by education they are American. " Furthermore, Jackson sees the need for a distinction between black Americans and black Africans. "What's interesting to American minorities will not necessarily interest me as a minority.

I'm an African. He or she is an American. He or she is in his or her culture. I'm in a different culture. My understanding of things is completely different. The color of the skin might be identical, but the experience is completely different."

Jackson feels most comfortable with other foreign students, particularly those from the Third World countries, although he has made friends with traditional undergraduates and among the staff of the Watkinson Library, where he has worked since coming to Trinity. The 1988 recipient of the Human Relations A ward is now a history major, following his difficulties with computer science, although he still hopes to complete a double m:ljor in history and engineering.

wenty-one-year-old Kalev Kask is fair, with strawberry-blond hair and light blue eyes. His manner is quiet and self-effacing; yet when his shyness fades, he is a clever and witty conversationalist.

Georgii Okribelashvili is blackhaired with merry, dark-brown eyes. In his first semester at Trinity, he has endeared himself to fellow students for his gregarious and venturesome nature. This summer he expects to host five visitors in his hometown, friends he has made during this academic year.

In these two citizens of Estonia and Georgia, respectively, is seen in microcosm the diversity of the Soviet Union. The two students from the U.S.S.R. came to Trinity last fall, eager participants in a precedent-setting exchange between the two countries. In this academic year, 56 Soviet students are being hosted by 20 distinguished liberal arts institutions in the American Collegiate Consortium for East-West Cultural and Academic Exchange. Next year the same number of American undergraduates will be hosted by participating Soviet universities, some of them located in remote regions of the U.S.S.R. unknown to Western visitors.

KALEV KASK KaJev Kask's university in Tallin, Estonia is located in the northern reaches of the U.S.S.R. , "basically almost in Scandinavia." An independent country until 1940, Estonia has a unique culture and language, which Kalev speaks along with Russian and English.

A computer science major who assists Trinity students in Hallden Computing Cent~r with their computer problems, Kalev specializes in information systems in his university at home. "You choose a specialty. You are assigned a list of courses and you take those. Most students can' t choose information systems, but some of them can, and I could," explains Kask. When asked if he was allowed to choose this aca-

Kalev Kask

demic specialty because of his ability, he shrugs and smiles, answering with a modest demurral, "Maybe, yes." In addition to courses in his major, he is required to study language, history, philosophy, political economy, and military training.

Two other students from his department of electrical engineering and computer science were selected for the exchange, in which 25 Soviet universities participated. Though there are 10,000 students and six faculties in the university, Kalev guesses that only 10-15 students applied to participate in the exchange.

"The people all know each other, and when someone applies and is really good, then most of the rest don't apply," he says. He filled out "quite a many forms," he says, but didn't know he was a participant in the exchange until two weeks before he left on August 6. After participating in a three-week orientation at Middlebury College for all of the Soviet students, Kalev was on his way to Trinity, amid hot summer temperatures to which he was unaccustomed, given Estonia's colder climate.

A student of English since high school, Kalev also had to accustom himself to speaking and learning in the language. "When I first came, I have problems. I was maybe in the middle of my

group," he says, adding, "To listen is much easier than to speak.

To follow ideas is quite easy. " He also had to get used to the different pace of work in American colleges. "You have to work all the time here. At home students have to complete their assignments and papers by the end of the semester. That means no students will study just at the beginning or in the middle. They all start working at the end of the semester. You just have a fun two to three months - basically you're just wasting your timeand then work hard one month," he says.

At Trinity, Kalev really has enjoyed his academic freedom . "It's quite easy and very simple, " he says. "You can study however you want. I can study what I like and what I think I need." In his ftrst semester he earned A's in two courses in computer science and a B and B- in courses in Historiography and American National Government.

As far as he can tell, the social life of students in the two countries is about the same, although in his university at home, only about one-third of the students live on campus. But, in both places, "Everyone's doing whatever he or she wants to do. If you want just to study in the library, you can study . If you want just to have a party and drink beer, you can have a party and drink beer.

"At home I can just participate in social life in my city. It's a big city- 500,000. There's quite a lot to do. I have many friends outside of my university. We just go to a movie or whatever," he explains. While the use of drugs is not a problem in the U .S.S.R., Kalev says, drinking is. "The drinking age is 21, but some or most of them drink at least when they are 18."

In his first six months in the U.S ., Kalev has seen a great deal of the country. He echoes familiar refrains about San Francisco - "beautiful, weather was fme" and New York City "quite big and interesting to visit, but I'm not sure I'd like to live there." He's also visited Wash-

ington, D .C. , Boston and Philadelphia, San Diego and Southern California, and upstate New York and hopes to go to Florida during Spring Break, along with many other college students . Kalev says that he likes to travel and, perhaps because of this, has not felt homesick during his stay at Trinity. "One year is not such a long time, if you know that you are going back," he says. "I know what it is to be away. It is not so difficult."

Kalev, whose only professed dislike is American television ads, says that he never would have considered dropping out of the program even if he had found it difficult. "Everyone knew that it {the program) would not be easy," he says. "But, if you agreed to do it, then you do it.

That's the Russian psychology.

-No matter how difficult something is, it's your responsibility to do it."

GEORGII OKRIBELASHVILI At 23, Georgii appears more worldly-wise than Kalev, perhaps because he has seen more of the world outside of the U .S.S.R. than his compatriot from Estonia. As a player on a Soviet soccer team, he competed in games in nine countries in Western and Eastern Europe until an injury sustained in a car accident ended his soccer-playing. In the U.S. he has bravely ventured forth on his own, renting cars and driving to visit with some felJow students from the U .S. S.R. on other college campuses. He has formed close friendships with his suite-mates in the quad where he has lived in Funston HalJ - so much so that he hopes to return for their Commencement in 1990.

It is surprising then, given his seemingly painless adjustment, to learn that Georgii has suffered from homesickness. "I don't know what I miss," he exclaims.

"I cannot say that I miss this, this and this. I miss everything. I'm okay here . .. I like this country, but it's not my culture." Georgia,

Geor gii Okri belashvili, left, with roommates Co rey Watson '91, cen ter, and Jay Ufford '90. the home that he misses, is a leading tourist attraction in the U .S.S. R. Located between the Black and Caspian Seas, and south of the Caucasus Mountains, near the border of Turkey, Georgia boasts a warm climate, friendly people and fine wine.

"Every single place in Georgia is a tourist place," says Georgii. " It's a place where people go for vacations in the summer, and there are beautiful ski places .

There is much history everywhere. Tbilisi, the city where I live, is 1500 years old. There are churches there from the fourth century."

The university which he attends in Tbilisi is large, with 34,000 students. A computer science major, he will have one more year to complete when he returns next year. In the exchange are four other students from his university, ten in all from Georgia. Although he only started studying English a year ago, Georgii did well enough on the English test required of applicants for the exchange to make the cut.

His first real surprise after arrival was on seeing so many "two-stairs, two-floor American houses." He had expected to see only high-rise and large apartment buildings. "The first thing I liked about Trinity was, it's not far from (the] city . The other colleges which have Soviet students

are far from city. They are in small towns . I like to do things.

"It's good to study here. Engineering is much better. The professors are very nice, professionals. The people at Trinity are very nice. I just love them."

Georgii finds the social life to be "exactly the same," except that at home, he spends more time in the city, and there is more neighborhood social life. "But, students are students," he says.

"Go to movies, drink beer - actually , I don't like American beer, " he demurs. Georgii has achieved some celebrity for his oft-stated aversion to that allAmerican entree and staple in every college student's late night diet - pizza . Kalev teases his friend that pizza results in "revolution in process in his stomach ... uprising! " Georgii, however, insists that he dislikes American pizza because it is not "the real pizza- Italian pizza," which he has enjoyed in Italy.

Using English constantly has also required some adjustment by Georgii, who also speaks Georgian, Russian and Armenian.

Everything is harder for him because of language difficulties, he says. "It's difficult for me to write this test- five or six pages- in one hour's time," he says. But, perhaps not wanting to appear to be complaining, he then adds, "I should do better. contitJued p. 14

It's okay. It's easier to read."

As the year progresses, he finds that sometimes he forgets words in Russian. When he and Kalev are together, they speak Russian, and sometimes he helps Trinity students with their Russian. So, despite occasional lapses, he's confident that when he returns, communicating will be very easy once again.

Georgii says that when he first came here, he found that some people expected that he wanted to defect. "It was very difficult to make them believe that I don' t want to stay here, that I want to go back. I'd like to be here for one year, but not for the rest of my life."

During his stay he has observed some things that he likes about the U .S., as well as some dislikes. "Everyone in the U.S . has a very professional approach.

They' re doing the job they're supposed to do, and they like it.

In the Soviet Union they're just doing something. They don't know what they' re doing."

On the other hand , he has been disturbed by the sights of the poverty and the slum housing in the U .S. " I see these people living in the streets," he says, "and in San Francisco I saw big house - 64 rooms , four-stairs.

Just a wife and husband- why do they need 64 rooms?" Joking, he adds, "They could rent them out and make big bucks!"

Georgii says he does not see the same number of "street people" in the U .S.S.R. "Maybe you'll see one or two," he says .

"If they stay in the street, it means they're drunk or they cannot move."

Georgii believes that the revolutionary exchange of which he has been a part cannot help but make a difference in bringing about a change in attitudes. " We'll see, after five years, how it works," he says. "I know that there are several people here that I think I will be friends with for the rest of our lives." â&#x20AC;˘

like to go on to graduate school while he is in the U .S., but concedes that much depends on the funding. The Tutu Fund provides assistance only for undergraduate

education, with Trinity contributing tuition, room and board and the Fund paying other expenses.

When he does leave the U .S., he doesn't know where he'll go.

He recently learned that when he was in Zambia over a year ago , his life was in danger. "They were trying to trap me, but they couldn't, because there were many people around me all the

time. Many people had questions about the Tutu Foundation, about the United States, and everything ... ''I'm afraid to go to Zambia even now. I have my famil y there, but I just can 't go there.

So, I have to find another country . I will see. I will just try to persuade the U . N . to find me another country." â&#x20AC;˘

from the norm, with an accent, a different way of seeing the world.

They may have to work through people's assumptions, however well-meaning, about being 'exotic.' There are a lot of people who will think that the charming Chinese student is 'cute.' These perceptions are different, seemingly benign ways of minimizing people's ability and intelligence.

"Those coming from the Third World have to defend themselves from very subtle assumptions from those who think in a xenophobic way that people who are not Americans are less sophisticated, less experienced, less something - all terribly ironic assumptions.

The international students that we have tend to be much more experienced, worldly, strong souls who've been through some incredible ordeals. Take the experience of someone like Jackson Mwalundange. It's been brutal and extremely difficult, and he has had to be grown-up for a long time," In the offices where they work on campus, the international students are viewed as "grown-up," significant contributors in their respective jobs. The Watkinson Library, a public reference and rare book library housed in the Trinity library, has always employed a lot of foreign students, according to Margaret Sax, associate curator. "We've had them from nearly all over the world," she says.

"We have jobs that don't require the language skills as much as some jobs do, although we have some students who speak English very well. Making boxes for books is one of the jobs that keeps having to be done, along with putting books in binders and fetching books. One of the great advantages of having foreign students is that they will generally be around during vacations and the summer, when other students go away." Reliability has been a "hallmark" of their foreign student workers, according to Watkinson Library Curator Jeffrey Kaimowitz. Currently, nearly half of their student workers are international students, he says.

Working with international students as their adviser over eight years has been a source of great joy and also frustration to ChuRichardson. The duties are ancillary to her main work in the dean's office, and she has no time or staff allocated specifically for international student advising. " It's frustrating, " she says, "because these are the students that I've gotten to be closest with - the students of color as a cluster and definitely the international students, because they need help.

"The international students who are here are making a significant contribution to Trinity, by definition. Simply in their being here, coming from a place sometimes so very different, and enduring what is sometimes very difficult, they contribute and enrich us. For example, the roommates of George Okribelashvili have had an enriched year, no question about it." â&#x20AC;˘

Minghua He '90

ne night around ten o'clock, when she was studying in the Trinity library, Minghua He '90 had a frightening experience. She heard a lot of noise coming from somewhere in the library. " I wa frightene because these things ne :er ha2_Een in China in a library - nev.er happen ," she says emphatically. "You are not supposed to speak loudly. I thought, 'What's happened?'

"I walked to the main floor. I realized some students were just playing games. They were walking on their hands and just keep on walking. A lot of students follow them. It's kind of fun. This is very small thing.

"I was so surprised . I tried to notice the other students. I looked around. They ali laughed.

I feel, this is something different.

In China, people will stare at you, 'What are you doing?' Here they can join together, so it's different ."

As an exchange student from the People's Republic of China, Minghua has a special interest in incidents like these. The third student from Mainland China to attend Trinity through an exchange program administered by Patricia Ritter of Hartford , Minghua has assigned herself the difficult and elusive task of defining American culture. Pursuing a second bachelor's degree at Trinity, she has chosen the interdisciplinary major of American studies in order to examine American culture in a more comprehensive way. Her two predecessors, also American studies majors, likewise hailed from HeilongJiang University in Manchuria, where the 24- year-old teaches English to students who plan to study abroad. At Trinity she has been a teaching assistant in a 200-level Chinese language course.

Minghua is a strong believer in the value of living and studying in a foreign country. " If you don't live abroad for some time," she says, "you cannot compare your country with another country. Living abroad, you get a good judgment of what your country is."

Minghua He '90 She hopes when she returns to China to share with her students and colleagues all that she has gleaned of American culture.

Such an exchange of information can eliminate misconceptions, she says. " It's good to let more people know what America is, from my experience."

Her study of culture involves paying attention to "very small things - sense of humor, personality characteristics, education ." In order to get to know many people, she's tried working in several areas on campus, including the library, the dining service, and, currently, at the Mather Hall Information Desk from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. " When I work here," she says, "I can talk with a lot of students, especially during the weekends, after a party. I never feel lonely."

Married just two weeks before coming to Trinity, in the first semester Minghua had to cope with homesickness as well as learn to adjust to her new American life.

Surprisingly to her, she also had some language difficulties. As a teacher of English, she had felt that she needed to study in an English-speaking country in order to perfect her English. Arriving in September, just as classes were beginning, proved a baptism by fire.

"I studied English for a long time in China, six years," she says, "but I just came here and started right with American students. It's hard for me to do that.

When I was in China, I feel comfortable because no one can correct me. When I came here, I found my English was terrible!"

This semester she feels more settled and finds that taking six

courses (for five credits) is "not that hard - at home we have seven or eight." She has not traveled extensively since coming to the U.S., although she did visit New York City. Seeing the many homeless people there made her feel sad "for a long time." In China she had read an article about the homeless in New York but had dismissed the story and photographs as "propaganda." "I didn't believe that," she says. "Every country has its bad sides and good sides." But, seeing New York's homeless revealed a sad truth, as did something she saw on the Long Walk one day.

"There is more freedom here.

You can choose," she observes .

"So free, too free, sometimes .. .

When I walk along from Mather to my dorm, workers had just prepared cement on the sidewalk, and it's not dry. Some people just write their names on it. I feel sorry because they worked hard , and I feel bad about this. No one says, 'Oh, don't do that. It's not a good thing to do that.' " In spite of these disappointing observations, Minghua says that she'll want to return. She's extremely grateful to the College for having provided her with this learning opportunity. "Thank President English," she says.

"This scholarship covered everything." She knows, too, from her conversations with Trinity students that they have liked being able to meet someone from Mainland China. So much has changed, she says, even from when she was a little girl.

"Young people in China like to go abroad now ," she says, "but when I was very small, my parents and relatives were scared of America. In the 1950s and 1960s both countries had misunderstandings. Our minds were controlled by the government and the propaganda. In China, the older people especially considered Americans to be foreign devils.

The 1988 Cultural Election ora Neale Hurston, the black writer and anthropologist, liked to tell a story about how she was arrested for crossing against a red light. But, she laughed, she had gotten off.

"I told the policeman," she would say, "that I had seen white folks pass on the green and so assumed the red light was for me." That story has always held a particular appeal to me, since my father was color blind and could not tell red from green. He knew them apart in traffic lights, he once told me, only because one was always on top and the other on bottom.

Like Hurston and like my father, I want to speak about the interpretation of signs. And particularly, which are on top and which on bottom; which command you to stop, and which invite you to proceed. And how that might differ, depending who "you" are. The reading of signs, after all, is what an inauguration was once about.

To be sure, it marks a celebration: in this case a celebration of the generosity and dedication to learning of Allan and Gwendolyn Smith. And it marks a beginning. But of what?

In Roman times, an inauguratidn meant taking omens from the flight of birds, rrtaybe from straws blowing in the wind- or perhaps from the entrails of the recently slain. We might have turned to an augur, a seer, to hallow our celebration by reading the omens he - or she - found in such signs. But today I find myself in the seat of augury; and further, it is that very fact which requires interpretation. What does it mean that Trinity College has elected to an endowed chair named for Allan K . and Gwendolyn Miles Smith a Jewish boy from the Bronx? And further, a boy who uses for the epigraph of his inaugural talk a story about Zora Neale Hurston? Whose most recent pubiication celebrates the work of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper? Whose initial connection to Trinity was Margaret Randall, whom the lmmi-

I take this election as a symbolic statement. It is, I wish to think, a statement about culture and the future - and about how the two are connected. But the statement, the "text," requires exegesis, and contradicting my academic training, I like to turn to authorial intention as a starting point for that process. Here I am fortunate in having as guide the interpretive skills of my colleague Paul Smith, who once explained to me his reading of Allan K. Smith's objectives in es tablishing these chairs. Graduates of the Trinity English department, he believed, for the most part did not and should not go on to graduate school in literature; rather they would become lawyers , doctors, business people, social activists, perhaps, or writers. Thus their education needed to emphasize the general characteristics of language and literature, an understanding of culture that would shape and inform their work as well as their lives as citizens of these United States or, perhaps more to the point, of the deeply changing 21st century world.

But what kind of "general education," what conception of culture will best serve our students and human society in the world to come?

quired that black people drink out of separate fountains and wait in separate vestibules, attend separate and monstrously unequal schools, travel in segregated railroad cars or in the backs of busses? What arguments could be made for excluding black citizens from the right to vote, and, should they attempt to change that system, shooting them down in the streets of towns with names like Liberty and Philadelphia? And , on the other side, the freedom movement could invoke the rhetoric of national leadership which proclaimed "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country," and which asserted in the very halls of the Congress "we shall overcome." The movement could affirm that we had a dream, not far distant, when black children and white children would study and play together, would work and vote in a democracy newly emerged into the sunlight of equality. We could, singing together, turn toward that future: Before I be a slave, I'll be buried in my grave, And I'll fight for my right To be free.

I do not invoke these memories- for those of us old enough to remember - out of nostalgia, but because the power of such ideas does not simply evaporate in dryer times . These ideas constitute a deep well-spring of idealism, a rushing of fresh water under the arid surfaces of self-interest that have characterized this recent decade. How do we, once again, gain access to this quickening stream?

Like much else in the civil rights movement,

the freedom school curriculum offers a useful starting point. The mimeographed "Note to the Teacher" that all 1964 volunteers received began by pointing out that we would be working "in a non-academic sort of setting; probably the basement of a church." And our students would "be involved in voter registration activity after school." Outside resources would be few, hours irregular, conditions tense. We were urged to shape our "curriculum in light of the teachers' skills, the students' interests, and the resources of the particular community in which your school is located." Again and again this manual comes back to the inevitability as well as the importance of developing the educational program from "the students' backgrounds" : "The value of the Freedom Schools," we were told, "will derive from what the teachers are able to elicit from the students in terms of comprehension and expression of their experiences." Thus freedom school education would ideally be a process of " drawing out" - educere - of what students had experienced but had neither expressed nor comprehended; rather than a pouring in of information and details the students had not previously known but of which we teachers had considerable stock.

The basic character of that educational program was contained in a set of questions at the center of the "Citizenship Curriculum," the real heart of the schools. The questions were: 1. What does the majority culture have that we want?

2. What does the majority culture have that we don't want?

3. What do we have that we want to keep?

To which the students added a fourth question: 4. What do we have that we don't want to keep?

These questions imply an understanding of culture, an educational program, even a pedagogy, and of course a politics radically different from that implicit in the work of Hirsch or Bloom or Bennett.

First, these questions do not ask "what does the majority culture have that I want?" but "what does the majority culture have that we want?"

The distinction is critical and yet very difficult to comprehend within the framework of American educational institutions. For virtually everything

in our schools and colleges, except for team sports, is calculated to reenforce the idea of individual advancement, private accumulation of knowledge, grades, degrees. In fact, I was once fired from a college for giving a collective grade to students who had worked deeply together on the main project of the course. In that process they had probably learned more than they could in any other way about the distinctions between the individualistic ethos at the heart of American middle-class culture, and the idea of collective experiences and aspirations - a set of iss ues central to the course. Our freedom school students were quite clear about this matter: the discrimination they encountered every day had little or nothing to do with them as individuals named Alice or Burdette or Clarie; it had everything to do with them as black people. And thus the question was not what Alice as an individual might accumulate in her private way, but how the social definition of her as an "ignorant nigger," or more politely a "culturally deprived" black girl, might be changed. These are issues we need to address not as individuals but as an academic community.

But do the dynamics of classrooms promote or forbid change? I think that Hirsch's list says to students something like this : "I have knowledge, and power; you do not. To make it as an individual in my world, you need to accumulate enough of the tokens I call culture to buy in. You can do so, of course, even if you are 'culturally deprived' to begin with." What students hear is rather different, perhaps something like this: "what I experience isn't important; it's what I don't know that determines where I am in the world. And even if I learn all the ditsy items on that list, the people who started way ahead will still be way ahead, and I'll still be at the edges." To say it another way, a list like Hirsch's in actual classroom use amounts to a set of intellectual traffic signals green for some, red to most. It is not a cultural means for gaining greater access to power, but a technique for classifying students as more or less marginal. The more items on the list you possess, the closer to the cultural mainstream you are; the fewer, the more at the fringes you are. And as with other commodities, possessing such items depends precisely on your position in society to begin with.

This is not to say that it is unimportant to know the items on Hirsch's list, including the

"mainstream" writers - Plato, for example. But really to understand the values of classical Greek society, which Plato may be taken to represent, one needs also to know that it was a slave society, and to know that not as a miscellaneous fact one registers on a short-answer quiz, but to feel the meaning of slavery in society. That one does not learn reading Plato. One might begin by reading Olaudah Equiano, or Frederick Douglass, or Harriet Jacobs, or Frantz Fanon, or, as I did in freedom school, Richard Wright and Langston Hughes. Or by listening to the music created by American slaves. Or by trying to eradicate the still-powerful effects of slavery and the racism which rationalized it - effects which continue to deform our society. Our freedom school students, who already knew a great deal about that last, learned even more by engaging in voter registration, a "radical" effort that summer of 1964. But the freedom school idea was not to explain Plato through the lens offered by our students' undigested experiences, including their efforts to change their society. Rather, it was to see that coming first to express and then to understand their experiences provided students with the ground, the power with which to begin comprehending Plato. Comprehending him, too, not as a cultural icon whose abstractions one might reproduce on exams, but as a living force with whom one might argue, agree and disagree, embrace and reject; whose decis'io'h to locate his Academy in the suburbs you might question; whose limited student body you might ask about. mplicit in the freedom school methodology is thus a fundamentally comparative strategy of learning. That signifies neither the clutching of western literature as the sole determinant of" our" culture, nor its exorcism as patriarchal and racist - though often it is. Rather, a comparative strategy involves the critical examination of what both "majority" and "minority" cultures have that we want - and do not want. It implies an approach to minority or marginalized cultures in their own terms, and not only through the distorting lenses offered by dominant western traditions. It offers, in fact, not the false tranquility of settled traditions, but the ferment and passion of a struggle over what we

lusory is the stability of culture. Longfellow and Lowell were once thought to be our major poets; hardly anyone white, and few enough blacks, had heard of Zora Neale Hurston, much less Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, a decade ago. Jazz was once considered outside the precincts of serious musical study, Spanish a declasse language inappropriate to graduate school language requirements, and American Indian chants the primitive plaints of a dying race. All that has changed.

"Permanence," Emerson wrote, "is but a word of degrees."

with that title. Thus in our curricula, our booklists, our appointments we are forever resetting the green and the red lights of culture. That is an endless chore, but it is a precious one. For I believe it converts the teaching of humanities from a museum to a force in the world we inhabit and shall create.

It does so because it makes us agents in the ongoing debate between the parties of the past and the parties of the future. The politicians had their say last fall - and, I think, decided very little indeed. Most people on voting Tuesday preferred not to . Perhaps they found the issues of their lives, the variety of their experiences bypassed in the narrow processes of presidential politics . Yet it is precisely that variety of American lives, those conflicts about priority, that the forms of cultural study I have advanced bring into focus. In the 1960s, the "Tygers of wrath" turned out, as William Blake had said, to be wiser than the "horses of instruction"; and thus were we instructors instructed. It may be that today w e can begin returning the favor by teaching the lesson of our opening cultural canons so that politics, like culture, will no longer be restricted largely to the core of white men who claim to represent us, one and all. Perhaps we are today offering tomorrow's tygers of wrath knowledge of the full range of the cultures of white women, of people of color, of today's and tomorrow 's working people, who together represent the rainbow spectrum of the United States. And, finally , its decisive majority as well. â&#x20AC;˘

by T rinity Authors JACK GANCE Ward just '57

Houghton Miffiin Company, 279 pages, $17.95 With this, his 1Oth novel, the award-winning writer appears to have met with universal acclaim. In The N ew York Times Book Review, Judith Martin described Just as "the Washington novelist's Washington novelist. He is not only the most literary chronicler of the daily lives and moral dilemmas of contemporary politicians, bureaucrats, intelligence agents, military officers, diplomats, lawyers and journalists, but one of the few novelists even interested in depicting such people realistically." Evan Thomas, writing about jack Gance in Newsweek, said that with the book Just "has earned a space on the shelf just below Edith Wharton and Henry James."

The novel traces the career and life of a Midwestern boy, reared in a political Chicagoan family, through his work for the Chicago machine to service in Washington as a staff member in White House and Senate offices and lastly in Congress as a senator himself.

Throughout, the complexities of his relationships with , among others, his father and the women he loves, are tellingly explored.

A former reporter for Newsweek and The Washington Post, Just won the Overseas Press Club A ward for reporting from Vietnam and the National Magazine Award for fiction in 1980.

HIGH CRIME S john Westermann '74 Soho Press, New York, 1988, 205 pages, $15 .95 hardcover Billed as a "novel of suspense, " High Crimes is the story of policemen "Tree" Nelson and Jimmy Tibaldi, exstreet cops masquerading as detectives on the crime-ridden south shore of Long Island. The

pair, a kind of modern-day Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, find themselves up against a dangerous Rastafarian drug-dealing mafia, with no protection coming from their own department, where they are seen as wisecracking college boys ("a couple of empty suits," in the words of their lieutenant).

The police world is known well

by Westermann, a 14-year veteran of the Freeport, N .Y. police department. Decorated three times for bravery and "excellence in police duty," he says he has "told it to the typewriter- about the good guys, the bad guys, about being a cop: the zany Theater of the Absurd.

DAYLIGHT SA VINGS Steven Bauer '70 Gibbs Smith (Layton, Utah) , 1989, $9.95 paper The winner of the first annual Peregrine Smith Poetry Competition, this first collection of poems

by Bauer was selected from more than 175 submissions. In addition to publication of the collection, Bauer receives a $500 cash prize.

The poems in Daylight Savings are informed by Bauer's interest in landscape as psychological revelation, his love of narrative, and his fascination with the sudden, often violent incursions of the past into the present. His poems have appeared previously in various journals, including Th e Nation and Southwest R eview . The author of Satyrday, a novel, Bauer directs the creative writing program at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

T HE IT ALIAN PRESE NCE IN C OLONIAL VIRGIN IA Glenn Weaver, professor of history, emeritus Center for Migration Studies, New York, 1988, 88 pages, $12.95 Glenn Weaver takes a grassroots look at the Italian link with early

American history in this charming and thorough accounting of colonial Virginia's Italian population.

As the title of his book suggests, Weaver does not restrict himself to well-known individuals remembered for major contributions. Instead he writes about numerous Virginia residents with Italian backgrounds, many of them "Englishmen of Italian extraction," whose collective history left a mark on the Virginia colony.

Weaver- author of The History of Trinity College - has a knack for incorporating detailed historical information into a witty, readable text. Chapter titles such as "A Spy, Some Servants, and Six Glassblowers" indicate Weaver's ability to engage his readers.

SOFTWARE FOR T HE MIND Emmett E. Miller, M .D . '63

Celestial Arts, Berkeley, 1987, 296 pages, $9.95 paperback In this most recent book by the author of S elf Imagery and Selective Awareness, the mechanisms underlying such practices as meditation, self-hypnosis, good habits and bad habits , programming and de-programming are explored. Miller explains the scientific and medical bases of these practices, thus demonstrating the "mind-body connection " and its functioning. With exercises and examples, he shows the reader how to use techniques of selective aw:treness to reduce stress, how to change tension into relaxation, and how to use visualization to create new habits, new attitudes and new realities.

Formerly a practitioner of family medicine, Miller now lives in Stanford, Calif., where he practices his subspeciality of psychophysiological medicine, the use of self-care approaches to create balance and health among individuals' mental, physical, emotional and spiritual selves .

MATT VAUGHN (14) and Jon Moorhouse (42) battle for a rebound.

Vaughn is among the national leaders in three-point accuracy, while Moorhouse recently became just the third player in school history to surpass both 1,000 points and 500 rebounds.

After six consecutive winning seasons and three New England Championships under Head Coach Stan Ogrodnik, last season's 9-14 finish was viewed by many, including Ogrodnik, as a fall from hoops grace. But in 1989, Ogrodnik has the Bantams back among New England's elite, masterfully blending a talented combination of veterans and younger players into a team which must be considered a contender for the E .C.A.C. title in March.

The most obvious advantage the Bantams have over many of their opponents is size. 6'9" forward Jon Moorhouse (Chester, CT) has emerged as one of the top big men in New England, averaging a teamhigh 17.4 points per game, 8.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists. 6'8" Michael Stubbs has been among the top 10 rebounders in the nation all year long, and is currently averaging 12.4 rebounds , 14.4 points, and 2.4 blocks.

With the inside tandem of Moorhouse and Stubbs working effectively, the perimeter game has opened up, and the Bantams are taking advantage. Senior tri-captain Ted Lyon (Suffield, CT) has recovered well from a first-semester bout with mononucleosis, and is averaging 12.6 points and 5.3 rebounds.

Freshman Matt Vaughn (Manchester, CT) has provided a huge spark, averaging 8.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists thus far. In addition to his deadly shooting touch (.532 from three-point range), Vaughn has provided a steadying influence with his court awareness and overall floor game.

Add to this sophomore point guard Joe Reilly (Glastonbury, CT) and senior tri-captains Glenn Kurtz (Cape Elizabeth, ME) and Don Green (Meriden, CT), and the Bantams have a front seven that can match up with anyone. Reilly has been the glue which has held the team together. His 9.1 points and 4.8 assists per game pale in importance to his ball-handling abilities and court generalship.

Trinity started the season with an

impressive 83-73 win at home against a tough Westfield State squad, despite 35 points from Sean Williams, one of the nation's top scorers. But the team's youth and early inconsistency manifested itself at Nichols, as the Bantams dropped a 72- 68 overtime decision to an inferior Bison club . The team then travelled to Bristol, RI for the Roger Williams Classic, where they defeated UMass-Boston and the hosts to take the title. Stubbs was named the tournament M.V.P. for his 31 -point, 28- rebound performance.

After an easy 82-63 win over Coast Guard (Stubbs: 18 points, 16 rebounds, 6 blocks) , the Bantams travelled to King's Point, NY to take on the U.S . Merchant Marine Academy. A 35-point effort by King's Point's Kevin D' Arcy led the Cadets to an 84-75 win despite 20 points and 20 rebounds from Stubbs.

Undeterred , the Bantams embarked on a six-game winning streak, including two consecutive wins over rival Wesleyan. The ftrst came in the finals of the Liberty Bank Classic, as host Trinity won a dramatic 67-65 overtime game.

The teams traded baskets and leads throughout the game, until the Cardinals took a 58-55 lead with 2:06 remaining on an 18-foot jumper by Nelson Williams . A Moorhouse basket with 1:48 remaining cut the lead to one, and the Bantams had several opportunities to take the lead but could not convert and were forced to foul Wesleyan's Peter Alberding with 11 seconds remaining. Alberding hit both free throws to give Wesleyan a 60-57 lead.

Vaughn took the inbounds pass for Trinity and instead of calling a timeout, raced the length of the floor and put up a 22-footer with 8 seconds remaining which caught nothing but net, tying the game at 60 and sending it to overtime. In the extra period, a Reilly jumper gave Trinity a 64-62 lead, and free throws by Moorhouse and Reilly iced the win. For his 31-point, 7-assist performance, Reilly was awarded the Tournament's M.V.P. award, while Moorhouse was named to the All-Tournament team.

The Bantams defeated Wesleyan

again three nights later, 93-84, as Moorhouse netted 28 points and pulled down 9 rebounds . That was followed by a 25-point shellacking of Tufts and the loss at W.P.I. The next game was at home against Connecticut College, and while the outcome was never in doubt, there was some suspense to the evening, as Moorhouse needed 28 points to achieve the 1,000 point milestone for his career. Moorhouse had a spectacular night, hitting 10-13 field goals and 10-10 free throws to become just the 12th player in school history to score 1,000 points, and only the third to go over 1,000 points and 500 rebounds.

win over Wellesley left Trinity at 5-0, and set up a showdown with 14-0 Clark, the only other undefeated Division III team in the country. The game was nip and tuck throughout, as the teams battled to a 31-31 tie at halftime and remained close throughout the second half. Trinity took what would be its final lead of the game with 3:41 left as sophomore Kirsten Kolstad (Northford, CT) sunk two free throws for a 58-57 advantage.

Clark, led by point guard Deb Cormier, then went on a 14-1 tear to close out the game, winning by a 71-59 count. Trinity then hit the road only to absorb three straight losses against Nichols, Coast Guard

Women's Basketball

(7-6) 1988-89 has been a season of streaks for the Lady Bantams, as they have struggled to find a consistent formula for winning. Strong rebounding, inside play and defense have been the cornerstones of this team , but inconsistent shooting and spotty play have led to several defeats which could have been avoided.

After victories in their first five games, Coach Maureen Pine's charges dropped four straight contests , then rebounded to win two straight in "must win" situations, only to lose to Bowdoin and Bates by a combined 35 points.

With Trinity 's all-time leading scorer Leanne LeBrun (Buzzard's Bay, MA) away for the first semester studying abroad, Pine was worried about the three first-semester games the team would contest without her. Compounding this were season-ending injuries to two of Trinity's three freshmen. But the fears were unfounded, as the Lady Bantams thrashed Mt. Holyoke, Wheaton and Smith by an average of 17 points, cruising to a 3-0 mark.

LeBrun's return was a festive occasion, as the Lady Bantams defeated Pine Manor 76-54, while LeBrun scored 16 points and pulled down 15 rebounds to become the first woman in school history to top the 1,000 point mark. A 72-54

and Western Connecticut.

With 10-1 Connecticut College looming next on the schedule, things looked bleak. But Trinity responded with its best 40-minute performance of the year, leading wire-to-wire in a decisive 76-66 victory. Junior Karen Farquhar (Gales Ferry, CT) led the way with 22 points, while LeBrun (19 points, 12 rebounds), Kolstad (14 points, 14 rebounds) and freshman Amy Chiodo (11 points, 11 rebounds) from Portland, ME, all had great games. The Lady Bantams continued their strong play in Middletown against Wesleyan, rallying from a 27-20 halftime deficit to take a 64-51 decision.

The team was at 7-4 and again headed in the right direction. But a disastrous weekend in Maine (7450 loss to Bowdoin, 81-70 loss to Bates) left the team hovering around the .500 mark with just six games to play. A strong finish could still conceivably land the Lady Bantams an N.l.A .C. bid, and there is nobody left on the schedule that the team is not capable of beating.

Ice Hockey (14-4) At the beginning of the season, Coach John Dunham predicted that his young team would make mistakes early, but would be a good team in February as the younger players gained experience.

The team struggled early, as some 15 freshmen saw ice time in an attempt to find which combinations worked best and establish some team chemistry. The results were as Dunham predicted, with the team playing inconsistent, mistake- prone hockey en route to a 7-4 record (4-3 in the NorthSouth).

Recently, the team has caught fire, winning seven straight games by a combined score of 52-22, including consecutive, 4-3 overtime wins at UConn and Holy Cross.

Things started well for the Ban-

tams, with easy road wins at Quinnipiac (11-2) and Westfield State (6-2). Freshman goalie Jeff Tuck (Needham, MA) was performing admirably in the nets, and the team was scoring well. In the annual McCabe Tournament, Amherst overcame a 2-0 first period deficit and rode a spectacular 40-save effort by freshman goalie Brian Doyle to a 3-2 victory. The Bantams rebounded in the consolation game, downing Wesleyan 4-1. The first semester closed with a 5-2 loss to a very talented Williams club and a 10-1 Iaugher over Fairfield, leaving the Bantams at 4-2 going into the break.

When the team returned for the second semester, it got a boost from the return of junior goalie Steve Gorman (Enfield, CT) and right wing Bill Macartney (Clinton, NY). But the schedule was imposing: five games in the first seven days. The team started the week in dramatic fashion, battling back from a 5-0 second period deficit to defeat a highly touted A. I. C. team in overtime. The next afternoon, the team hit the road again to take on lona. Predictably, the Bantams came out flat and dropped a 5-3 deCISion.

The team then played its second overtime game in three days, defeating Bentley, 6-5. Senior tricaptain Trip Manley (Summit, NJ) put away the game-winner to improve Trinity's record to 6-2. Manley was again instrumental two days later, scoring two goals in a 41 defeat of the University of Connecticut. The Bantams closed out the brutal week with a rematch against Amherst, but simply did not have enough left, losing 5-1.

A crucial stretch loomed ahead, with four consecutive road contests, and the team just one game above .500 in the league. Suddenly, the team came together, and everything seemed to click. An 8-4 win at Framingham State was followed by the consecutive overtime wins at UConn and Holy Cross. Since then, the Bantams have been invincible, trouncing Fairfield (10-3) , Nichols (10-1), lona (8-4) and Assumption (8-4) .

Leading the way on offense are junior Todd DuBoef (Las Vegas,

NV) with 16 goals and 15 assists and Michael Murphy (Sudbury, MA), with 14 goals and 14 assists.

Tri-captain Jay Williamson (St. Louis, MO) has 11 goals and 16 assists, while freshman Tom Scull (Hanover, NH, 8-18- 26), Manley (10-15-25) and Larry Trinceri (Southampton, MA, 12- 11-23) have all been solid.

With five games remaining against North- South teams, including Wesleyan and high-flying Connecticut College, the Bantams have an opportunity to parlay their recent hot streak into a top seeding in the E.C.A.C. tournament in March. And it appears that Dunham and his young Bantams are peaking at just the right time.

Men's Swimming (3-4) Head Coach Chet McPhee's swimmers have had the same problem all year long: depth. McPhee has talented swimmers on his squad, the only problem is he doesn't have enough of them. Consequently, many swimmers have to participate in two or three events in a meet.

Leading the way is senior captain and backstroke specialist Peter Ostrander (Chatham, MA). Ostrander has been a consistent point-winner in both the 100- and 200-yard backstroke events, and has been a key part of Trinity's unbeaten 400 medley relay team. Sophomore Frank Monaco (East Williston, NY) has also been a strong performer in the medley relay, as well as taking four firsts in seven starts in the 50- yard freestyle .

This year's top freshman and one of the Bantams' most versatile performers has been David Shapiro (Newington, CT). In his very first collegiate meet, Shapiro broke the school record in the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:05.68, surpassing the old mark held by assistant coach Mike Williams . Shapiro broke his own record in the next meet against Union, with a time of 2:05.07. Shapiro has also been outstanding in the 200 breaststroke, his specialty, winning five of six starts, and coming within . 72 seconds of the school record in that event.

Senior Ridge Cromwell (Chevy

JACK KIRKPATRICK '92 helped spark the Bantam wrestling team to its best season in school history.

Chase, MD) has been a workhorse, swimming in three events in each meet so far this year, ranging from the 100 butterfly to the 1000 freestyle. In a recent 52-43 win over Connecticut College, Cromwell scored 13 points by himself, taking first in the 1000 freestyle and the 100 fly and second in the 500 freestyle .

Mike Carney has been outstanding on the diving board, going S-1 in the required diving event and 3-1 in the optional.

Women 's Swimming (3-4) After struggling to a 1-4 start this season, the women's swimming team has come on recently, winning its last two meets in dramatic fashion in the final event.

After falling to Mt. Holyoke in the first meet of the year, Chet's Chicks rebounded to down W.P.I. 65-39. In that meet, Trinity's strong 200 medley relay team gave the Bantams a 7-0 lead, and they never looked back. Losses to tough squads from Wesleyan, Brandeis and Fairfield followed , but the team rebounded for two closely contested wins in foreign pools against Clark and Connecticut College.

Both meets came down to the final event, the 200 freestyle relay, and

both times the team of Becky Brainard (Schenectady, NY), Amy Wilson (Guilford, CT), Nicole Curinga (Montrose, NY) and Lisa Leonard (Montreal, Canada) prevailed to give Trinity the victory.

Sophomore Leonard has been outstanding in the freestyle sprint events, consistently scoring points and qualifying for the New Englands against Fairfield with a 27.08 in the 50 freestyle and a personal best of 58.76 in the 100 freestyle .

Senior Justine Divett (Darien, CT) is another swimmer who has been consistently improving throughout the year. Her 12:15.13 in the 1000 freestyle against Fairfield was a personal best, and qualified her for the New Englands. Other top performers include junior Susie Stormer (Anchorage, AK) in the intermediate freestyle events, Amy Paulson (Rockford, IL) in the diving events, Brainard in the freestyle sprints, freshman Ann Reutter (Woodbury, NJ) in the breaststroke and freshman Kim Lester (Hinsdale, IL) in the backstroke.

Wrestling (4-8) The Trinity wrestling team has come a long way in the three years since Head Coach Sebby Amato took the reins of the program. Last year the team ended a four-year los-

ing streak and discovered that it can wm.

Things started slowly this year as the Bantams lost to Amherst and Lowell in a tri-meet, two very tough squads with strong wrestling traditions. The next meet was at home against Haverford, and the Trinity matmen emerged with a convincing 37- 12 victory.

The next meet was at M. I. T., where the Bantams squared off against the Engineers and the Huskies of Northeastern. The Bantams earned their third win of the year against Northeastern, as seven of the 10 grapplers emerged victorious. Freshman Gene Kim (N ewburgh, N Y) earned the first pin of his career at the 126-pound class, while 142-pounder Mike Taylor (Cockeysville, MD), 167-pounder Dave Weiss (Lafayette Hill, PA), and 177- pounder Jack Kirkpatrick (Haverford, PA) all earned decisions. Two forfeits and a pin by 260-pound heavyweight Nicholas Sims (Memphis, TN) secured the wm.

The Bantams next event was a home tri-meet with Bridgewater State and Western New England. A 7-4 win by Taylor at 134 pounds and an 8- 3 win by sophomore John Konevich (Wakefield, MA) at 158 pounds gave the Bantams the lead, and consecutive pins at 177 and 190 pounds by Kirkpatrick and Alex Motsenigos (Canton, CT) secured the win.

Losses to veteran teams from W.N .E .C., Coast Guard, Wesleyan and W.P.I. have eroded hopes of a .500 season, but the Bantams have already recorded four wins, equalling the highest total in school history.

Women's Squash (5-4) Wendy Bartlett's young women's squash team has surpassed the expectations of all but the most optimistic, and has shown steady improvement throughout the year.

With five underclassmen playing regularly, the Lady Bantams lacked the experience necessary to compete with the best players in the country early in the year. But the team improved every time out, and played

3-3 for the tournament, gaining the #4 ranking nationally.

Men's Squash (3-6)

34

remarkably at the Howe Cup, establishing itself as the #4 team in the country.

Things started well for the Lady Bantams, with an easy 9-0 win over Smith, in which Trinity lost only one game the entire match.

Trinity then hosted Harvard, a perennial national power, and dropped a 7-2 tilt. Highlights of the match included senior captain Nan Campbell (Haverford, PA) defeating Harvard's #1 player in five games, and #3 Lila Morris (Buffalo, NY) downing her opponent in four games.

The Lady Bantams then had a heartbreaking 5-4 loss to Franklin & Marshall, in which every game was hotly contested. The team rebounded against Tufts, downing the Jumbos 9-0 without surrendering a single game. The Bantams then lost to a powerful Yale squad 7-2, and to number one Princeton, 9-0, before rebounding with three straight wins over Pennsylvania, Wesleyan and Middlebury.

The team was winning at the right time as it entered the Howe Cup, the most prestigious team event in women's collegiate squash.

The Bantams were one of seven teams playing in Division I, the best in the nation. All four of their losses were to teams from this group, and the others (Brown and Dartmouth) were no pushovers.

The team started off with Franklin & Marshall, which had defeated them 5-4 earlier. Campbell exacted her revenge on F&M's Belknap, and Courtney Geelan (Suffern, NY) and #6 Louise McCarthy (Harvard, MA) were also winners, setting the stage for some heroics by junior Robin Silver (Newton, MA) . Silver went to five games before finally putting her opponent away, buoying the Bantam's hopes for a high national ranking. The next day, Geelan produced a repeat performance, winning a 5- gamer at #3 to give Trinity a 4-3 victory over Brown. On the last day, the team downed Dartmouth 6-1 to finish at

The Trinity men's squash team has had its ups and downs under

first-year coach Richard Danforth.

Playing some thrilling individual matches and displaying flashes of talent, the squad has been unable to play well consistently, and has found itself a rung below the elite of New England squash.

I found myself very angry after reading this article asking myself and the author "So what's the point?" -although in much stronger terms. My expectations of gaining more insight into Nicaragua had been stimulated by the fact that a Trinity grad with some real and apparently objective interest in the region had decided to write about his experiences and observations. The article is well written and Mr. Brooks is obviously an intelligent young man.

But what does he discover? He learns that Nicaraguans are poor, but hospitable; that teenagers there don't retain their warmth for Americans that they met briefly there years before; that he harbored illusions that they might; that he has a tough time dealing with the economic disparity between himself and poor Nicaraguans and their expectation that he might help financially where he could; that Americans who are blindly pro-Sandinista may miss some of the points there; and that at the bottom of things a young boy remains a person , politics aside.

These are nice observations, but in the bigger picture I have to say to Mr. Brooks, "So what! " This approach seems aBolitical and amoral, and his conclusion that differences in power and culture make it virtually impossible to say anything definitive about thjs "strange and different reality" strikes me as nonsense.

is that the Contras are the former oppressors and torturers of the Nicaraguan people. Three, the U.S. has, as usual, taken the side of the oppressors and torturers and has pumped considerable amounts of aid to them so that bloodshed in Nicaragua could continue. Four, the U.S . government has lied to the people and the world, purposely misleading the electorate to gain support for these policies.

If I'm wrong on any of these points, I'd love to hear about it and would be happy to be wrong. Bur if I'm right, then the conclusion in rills article seems trite and irrelevant to the conditions in Nicaragua at best.

If you're going to write about Nicaragua , let's do it with some depth and feeling and a willingness to take some kind of stand.

NATIONAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

PRESIDENT's R EPORT

It is with great pleasure that I report to you on the current status of our National Alumni Association and events at the College that impact alumni/ae nationwide.

As most of you are aware, Trinity will appoint a successor to President English sometime in the late spring. The search committee is well underway, after some initial controversy over the method of electing the faculty representatives. I am especially pleased that eight of the 14 committee members charged with selecting our new president are Trinity alumni/ ae.

36

Ground should be broken for our new Alumni/ Faculty House sometime next fall. What a beautiful facility this promises to be! The final decision on whether to go ahead or not was delayed for some time pending further progress with The Campaign for Trinity, which, at this writing, has already exceeded all expectations, and promises to conclude well beyond the original $42 million goal. This success, however, should in no way suggest that Trinity is flush with funds. Every dollar raised for The Campaign will help Trinity continue to be a first-rate institution well into the 21st century.

we are to draw on the more than 16,000 alumni/ae who make up our constituency. As demographics shift we will need more of you to assist us with the admissions process in your local area. Career counseling is another way to get involved. Wouldn ' t it have been helpful during your undergraduate years to have talked to a Trinity alumnus who knew something about your educational experience and could help you relate it to a possible career path? These are many ways you can be involved in life at Trinity whether you are in Hartford or Los Angeles. So, we thank those who have come forward already and invite those of you who have not, to do so. There has never been a better time to be involved at Trinity. Your involvement in your local club is the place to start.

Soon we all will be asked to cast our votes for alumni trustee. For the first time in the history of this process we have two petition candidates in addition to our two regular nominees. Our work to open the process of alumni trustee nominations has been successful as evidenced by this expanded slate of candidates.

Our Alumni Fund needs some extra help from all of us this year. Certainly alumni/ ae support of The Campaign for Trinity has been most gratifying. The Alumni Fund has enjoyed a spectacular growth period over the past four years. It was inevitable, however,. that some consolidation would take place with the Fund to prepare for even greater heights as we enter the '90s. Our continued, strong support of the Alumni Fund remains key to ensuring the financial stability and overall quality of Trinity.

Finally, we recognize that each of you has a personal perspective on your affiliation with Trinity. The year ahead will, by most measures, be one of enormous challenge as the College strives to build on its impressive accomplishments under the leadership ofJim English. Amidst this change and challenge two things will remain constant for Trinity alumni/ae: a need and an invitation. We will continue to need your input and participation in the affairs of the College. And, of course, the invitation to join us in our efforts is always open. So let us hear from you .

The main focus of the Executive Committee of the National Alumni Association has turned to Area Club development. Reaching out to our Area Associations more effectively is a must if

Respectfully Submitted, ROBERT E . BRICKLEY '67 President, National Alumni Association

The fall issue of the Reporter carried quite an article on the writer of this message. It was a complete surprise and prompted several letters from Trinity friends.

One was a letter from DICK PUELS '22, who was a freshman when I returned to college in January of 1919 and whom I saw at football games when we played Rensselaer Polytech on their field. Another was from JOHN KELLY '34, who missed seeing me at 1987 football games and whom I saw at my one 1988 game. The third was from a Trinity widow in Maine whom I had not seen since 1910.

Have been trying to find out more about ABE SILVERMAN's activities since I learned of his death. I hadn't seen him since the spring of 1917.

It really seemed good to get back home and to resume life after a few months confined in a hospital and a convalescent home. It was good to pick up my relationship with my roommate of the past eight years and to catch up on events and happenings unfolded during that period. It was also a pleasure to renew acquaintance with the wonderful volunteers who resumed delivery of my meals-on-wheels each weekday.

Trinity's football team again completed a winning season nicely tenninated with a convincing win over our Middletown rivals.

The Reporter tells me that MEL SHULTHIESS '18 was selected to receive the award as outstanding Class Secretary for the 1988 year. An excellent choice. For years he has attended home football games sitting in the section for half-eentury grads on the 50yard line along with your Chairman and SECRETARY.

President English's annual report as to the status of affairs at SigiU CoU Trin Sane was reassuring and optimistic. He has done a really wonderful job as president of our alma mater and his decision to relinquish it may only be considered a loss to the College. We wish him all the best in the years to come.

Before leaving for his annual sojourn to a warmer climate, ROGER HAR'IT, our Class Agent, sent a splendid letter to the eight (or is it nine?) remaining members of our Class.

While the formal report of annual giving shows his goal of 100 percent participation fell a bit short, surely the 78 percent accomplished was 1927's best effort and we can thank Rog for the job well done and hope that this year his goal will be met.

Although the year-end holidays have passed, this is the first report for 1989 and the chance to extend to one and all best wishes for a healthy and happy New Year!

HERM KATZ writes that he is well and still keeping a finger in business running his father's insurance agency, subsequently run by his brother, but now kept going by him as a one-man operation. Herro doesn't get back to Trinity but does keep up his membership in the Hartford Alumni Association and contributes to Trinity's call for help from time to time, he says, "to help Trinity maintain its leadership among small colleges." He keeps involved in volunteer work and plays golf as well as bowls with the West Hartford Regents. He also keeps up with the standing of the Red Sox and

goes to Boston a couple of times a year.

BOB GlBSON couldn't waste my self-addressed stamped postcard and sent it back saying he and Alison are fit and regularly play mixed doubles tennis. Good going, Bob. However, he indicated this is a minor accomplishment as longevity and well-being run in the family and he figures he has a long way to go. We do too, Bob. Bob did a great job last year as Class Agent-and for one of the smaller classes we did quite well, too. He is active in the church and is involved in a number of social services activities.

Summers are spent at their summer camp in the Adirondacks and he hopes to get to our 70th. The rest of us do too, Bob, but let's try for the 65th in 1993 first.

W. OWINGS STONE returned my card for which I thank you, Bill. (Isn't that what we called you at Trin?) Now that he is retired from the ministry he says he isn't as peppy as he was. Who is, Bill? He says he is just recovering

from a prostate operation, but is doing well. His love at present is heading up a reading group. He lists several books which he recently completed and especially recommends Waterland by Graham Swift. Thanks for the suggestion, Bill.

STAN PRATT is a bowling enthusiast. Stan is living in F1orida as I am. He is retired from the Equitable Life Assurance Company after 41 years of service. His response was written on his Apple P/C computer and he guessed my letter was written on a computer, also. It was on an ffiM PIC Jr. He says if it were not for those gadgets he probably wouldn't be writing to me. Well, Stan, I don't think 1 would have taken on this job either if it weren't for such a gadget.

As they say in the movie cartoon, ''That's all folks." Let's hear from more of you. You still have the postage-paid cards, except for old BILL NiLES down there in Mexico. I didn't have any Mexican postage. Sony, Bill.

ALASKA SALMON FISHING

38

HERE IS AN exceptional opportunity to share the fishing experience of a lifetime in Alaska w ith friends and fa mil y next summer. Two trips arranged for Trinity have been organized to a location near Kachemak Bay on the Kenai Peninsula, an area regarded as the world's richest marine environment.

T he beauty of the setting alone is worth the j ourney, but for the dedicated sportsperson, fl y fishing primarily (but also spin fishing) for va rious species of Pacific Salmon and char (making their spawning runs fresh from the ocean up the area's creeks) w ill be the m ain attraction .

Base camp for the expedition will be the ho mestead of internationally acclaimed Alaskan pioneer Yule Kilcher, a remarkable teacher, legislato r and member of a "vanishing breed of Americans" (Smithsonian) w ho helped to open this rugged w ilderness. Kilcher showed a documentary of his life and lectured at T rinity in 1985.

The trips are sponsored by Arctic Outfitters of H omer, Alaska, and Pete Petersen, who outfi ts courses fo r Great Hollow Wilderness School w hich operates outdoor courses fo r Trinity.

and guide services. License (a bout $25) and air transpo rtation are additional.

DEADLINE: Groups will be small and filled on a fi rst come, fi rst served basis.

Peter Budryk, Executive Director Wesleyan University Great H ollow Wilderness School 212 College Street M iddletown, CT 06457 (203) 347-9411 ext. 2516

D ATES: July 7-14, 1989 July 16-23, 1989 FEES: $1,200 per person (about 1/2 the average fee for similar commercially offered trips). Fee includes round-trip ground transportation from the ai rport in H om er, all food, camping equipment

Hope that you will make plans to join them and ANDY ONDERDONK, the KELLYs and the TUCKERs. More on the Reunion later.

Heard from Phyllis Mason and Masie Smith and they are both well.

News for this issue is rather sparse.

If former schedules have been kept

this year, BERT BASKERVILLE ought to be lolling in the Florida sun.

FRANK EIGENBAUER and I "did lunch" a few days before Christmas and brought each other up to date on news of '35 and Sigma Nu. He pointed out a "Letter to the Editor" of Modern Maturity, the AARP magazine, by GEORGE MACKIE '31, a long-time newspaper man and Sigma Nu who is Class Agent for '31.

Had a newsy letter from TERRY MOWBRAY telling of his trip last fall to Squam Lake and Camden, ME where he visited JIM MILLER '36 and his wife, Ann. Terry remains well and keeps busy with chores around the house and some time on the local links.

HARLEN CHAPMAN writes that he and his wife are too busy to develop arthritic deposits in their joints. He and Mary own Orleans Bed and Breakfast Associates on Cape Cod. Mary has held many high level positions in business and GOP political campaigns, including manager of Barry Goldwater's NYC campaign office.

MIMI MARQUET is ef\ioying the relaxed life "on the beach" in their apartment on Duck Key, FL. Peg has recovered from her total hip replacement (another member of the club).

And while on "THRs," SIS SAMPERS should be back at his winter stand in Florida by this time. And on the same subject, mine is still doing quite well after 13 years, with an original use expectancy of seven or eight years. Regretfully, the old knees ain't doin' so good. A distal femur riding on a bare tibial plateau with no cartilaginous

cushion can be, shall we say, uncomfortable?

Please keep us posted on your activities. With best wishes for the New Year.

Had a nice note on a Christmas card from HARRY DAVIS complimenting me on the nice notes about him in the last issue. Of course, they were so good because he wrote most of them.

Problem now is that I felt obliged to use up all my material which you fellows had sent me about a year ago, because it was getting so old that I feared you would think I was negligent in not using it. So, now I have no material from all you classmates. How about a few of you starting the new year with some info of note for the column?

We were sorry to learn about the passing of two of our classmates, DON SELLARS and FOSTER LEAVITT. The years do go by, and these events bring back memories of the days when we were young.

The dearth of communications from my classmates has driven me to the extremity of cribbing from another Trinity publication. The November issue of Along the Walk contained an account of the origins of the Trinity Pipes. In view of the possibility that my audience may not have given the article the same close study that they presumably give my column, I thought I might call attention to that portion dealing with the Class of 1941. It appears that the group, organized by the members of Delta Psi, was shortly reinforced by the voices of DICK BARNES and LEW SHEEN. Dick is described in the article as "almost a Pipes charter member." The Pipes were modeled on the Whiffenpoofs.

Before their first radio concert they had to select a name and, having in mind the "Poofs" of Yale, they planned to call themselves the "Poops." Some difficulties were raised by the radio station which suggested they cal1 themselves the "Pipes," a suggestion which was adopted. In such turns of chance rest the fate of great organizations.

We have learned recently that DICK UNDE, after a bout of ill health, has recovered and spent a vacation in Hawaii this winter.

As we compose this column we note in today's Hartford Courant (January 1989) the passing of BILL LAHEY (see In Memory) . He will indeed be sorely missed by all of us and especially the medical community of Sl Francis Hospital. For a great part of his career, Bill was the distinguished director of medical education at St. Francis. He retired some 10 years ago.

It was in December 1988 that news carne of the passing of our classmate, ROB HEDGES, in Portland, CT (see In Memory). Rob was president of the insurance firm, Rice Davis & Daley, and retired a few years ago.

DON VINCENT took up water skiing at his Adirondack lake camp last summer, further demonstrating the sound mind/sound body relationship that a good proportion of us sexagenarians have been lucky enough to maintain.

Or is he showing us the Remsen B. Ogilby axiom that a Trinity man is at his best in time of stress and strain?

JOHN CHURCHILL reports a visit to the campus in the fall but regrets he couldn't find the bul1dog pew carving stolen years ago that he thought had been returned. Says Dr. John, "Maybe the prexy has it under lock and key."

He wonders if anyone can update him on the status of the wooden dog.

(Campus archivists have no records of a bulldog pew carving. The editor.)

John and Nadine did field work in Florida in their specialty of toxic plants. He's looking to re-retire from his successful ToxiTest business.

"Hartford native wins fifth term" reads a headline sent me by CHARLEY JOHNSON. Perennial Mayor FRANK FASI has done it again, re-elected in Honolulu 146,403 votes to Democratic challenger Marilyn Bomhost's 117,479.

By the way, thanks to JULIANA GARRO '86 who forwarded The Hartford Courant clipping to Charley.

Subsequent to this article, a news item appeared in The Courant relating the fact that Frank had undergone heart bypass surgery and was "recovering satisfactorily." We wish him well.

Speaking of other classes, we had a fine visit from my ex-Trinity roommate, DON BYERS '43 and his wife, Silver, who are now California/Nevada residents. Don is still the dapper sophisticate who used the alias "Brick Schulthaus" when romancing the Hartford girls back in those pre-war days we remember. Another great reunion we had was with the REV. HANK HAYDEN '39, up in the Seattle area visiting his son at Christmastirne. Hank and Betty Jane have just moved to a retirement community in Southern California. They are wonderful, active people.

Ruth and JOE BEIDLER are keeping us posted (as I wish more of you would do).

I had a nice Christmas note from DR. TOM WOOD. Tom is dealing constructively with recent hospitalization by shedding unwanted pounds and says he's "back in the fight again." He particularly liked, as did I, the piece on the Trinity Pipes of 1938-39 in the November Along the Walk. BILL CLEVELAND was the high tenor, a great voice as I recall. The late STARK TAYLOR '43, whom we lost in WW 11, was in the old Pipes in our day, too. (I still like close harmony and belong to the Puget Sounders in Olympia, my local S.P.E.B.S.Q.SA. chapter- have been in a couple of successful quartets as well.)

I'd like to hear from more of you guys, especially Alpha Delts, Neutrals, Delta Psis, Crows, Dekes and other classes who know of 1942 classmates and their activities or lack of same. I hope to have some new names in my next report.

DICK TUlLAR writes that, in connection with Reunion Committee activity last year, he was in touch with MONK MOOR and says they had a great chat with one another. Monk was stationed in Coronado, CA at the Hotel del Coronado during WWII. Dick goes on, "We now live near the Hotel del Coronado in Escondido, CA, so Monk and I plan to get together on his next visit to California."

CHARLIE UPHAM advised DICK TULLAR during their conversation with respect to Reunion that he had a commitment to attend his 40th Reunion at Harvard Business School but would put Trinity at the top of his agenda when our 50th rol1s around.

HARRY TAMONEY nearly had a reunion with YOUR SECRETARY in Rye, NY at the wedding of his son, Hugh, but for the interference of a prior family wedding commitment.

JIM McANDREWS, prominent Hartford urologist, hosted a January, 1989 dinner party at his lovely home at 10 Manor Lane in West Hartford. Your Secretary observed among the guests, Hartford attorney JOE LORENZO '47 and Hartford surgeon BOB FREDRICKSON '45. Current Trinity College affairs were well aired.

DREW BRINCKERHOFF... . Your Secretary does not ordinarily make reference to the deaths of classmates in this column because such information is published elsewhere in the Reporter (see In Merrwry). However, Drew was our original Class Agent, a special friend, fellow occupant of the "Crow House" on Vernon Street, fellow guard on the '42 football team and such a Trojan for the advancement of '43's Class interests over the years, I would be remiss if I did not devote this space to his death on October 23, 1988. Drew, a retired upper echelon executive for the Columbia Broadcasting System, was a superior human being, strong-willed but soft-hearted, and an outspoken defender of the rights and privileges of his fellow Americans.

It's Inauguration Week in Washington (not much better than "It's a dark and stormy night," but different) and I know that many Trinity alums are partying along Pennsylvania 'Ave. Of course, members of the Class of '60 are included.

I am also pleased to report that news items have reached me concerning interesting activities of our classmates. The West Hartford News reports that LAMONT THOMAS has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and is now teaching at Conard High School. Readers of this Class Notes column know that Lamont's work is a biography of Paul Cuffe, published by the University of Illinois Press in 1986.

In addition to being a successful biographer, Lamont is a highly regarded teacher in West Hartford.

DAVE GOLAS has expanded his legal staff in Manchester, CT and moved to new offices in the Watkins Centre.

But the big news is that son David is a member of the Class of 1992 and a member/player of Don Miller's very successful 1988 football team.

Other news items that have not come to the attention of YOUR CLASS SECRETARY, but have been noted in his readings and observations include the following: THE REV. ALAN SALMON serves an Episcopal Diocese in New Jersey and TIM BAUM continues with his interest in fine arts as noted by certain attributions from a successful Man Ray show at the National Museum of American Art in Washington.

ALAN MANDELL, a partner in the Hartford area accounting firm of Blum, Shapiro & Co., has been named chairman of the accounting and review services corrunittee of the Anierican Institute of Certified Public Accountants. AI is a former governor of the Connecticut Society of CPAs and is a director of the Loomis Chaffee School Alumni Association.

PAUL J. DEVENDIITIS has been named interim vice president for academic affairs at Nassau Community College in Garden City, NY. He has also been awarded a sabbatical leave grant for 1989-1990 to complete a comparative historical study on the rise of neofascism in the United States.

From various sources, we've ascer-

tained that GUY DOVE's daughter spent a fall semester in London before returning to Ohio Wesleyan and that DON LE STAGE's son is at Oxford following a successful undergraduate career at Trinity.

Surely there's more news than this?

Has anyone figured out how to handle the big 50 with style and grace? Now

that's a good discussion topic. All replies will be printed!

We received some news regarding ROBERT M. "BOB" HARTING, who was previously assistant to the president of Merit Oil Corporation of Haverford, PA. Bob has recently been promoted to vice president and his responsibilities include directing the Corporation's real estate, engineering and construction, human resources, and public affairs activities. After graduating from Trinity, Bob got an M.BA. from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. He has been with Merit since 1970. He resides in Philadelphia and Bob and his wife, Emilie, have two children.

I got a nice long letter fron.

CHARLES H. "CHARLIE" CLASSEN who is a partner in the Kinston Orthopaedic Associates of Kinston, NC. Charlie spent the month of May, 1988, in Peshawar, Pakistan, with the International Medical Corp. Peshawar is on the border of Mghanistan about six hours from Kabul and is the home of many of the 3.5 million Mghan refugees in Pakistan. Charlie was screening il\jured Mi;:hans who had filtered back across the border to assess what treatment was needed; he was training the Mghan medics; and he traveled around to the different Mghan hospitals to help with surgery and treatment of the war ifliured. It was quite an experience not least of all, Charlie says, because of the' primitive state of medicine in that part of the world.

Please write today and let me know what you are doing so I can pass it on to our fellow classmates!

YOUR SECRETARY is pleased toreport that Trinity's online library catalog has been in use for more than a year. It is working well and proving popular with students and faculty.

Known as the "CTW" system, it derives its initials from the three colleges that have undertaken this joint venture, i.e. Connecticut College, Trinity and Wesleyan. Catalog information for our entire circulating book stock is now accessible on the system with data entry proceeding for other types of research material such as government documents and periodicals.

Author, title or subject searches simultaneously yield records for items held by any of the three libraries. An automated circulation system is anticipated to be operational in about a year.

Surely others of our Class have some news to share. Let's hear from you.

Here we are, mired between reunions and not thinking much about Trinity - or so it seems, given the empty envelope of Class news sent me this time by JERRY HANSEN's '51 troops in the Alumni Office. Actually, I'm thinking about Trinity quite a bit, since my daughter, BeckY, just sent off her application for next fall! Donations for her tuition may be sent to the above address .. .

got lucky and found AL COOPER at JIM KILGORE's house. They were having a meeting of area alumni, in fact.

AI refused to admit to having any exciting news for us, but Jim issued a challenge. He claims to be the oldest new father (son Thomas Jess Kilgore was born September 26) in the Class and will kick in five dollars to our Class's Reunion contribution for every new arrival to anyone older. Keep YOUR SECRETARY posted on that one, please. New arrivals do not have to be bigger than Thomas' NINE POUNDS SIX OUNCES to qualify .. . I tried to get more out of AI and Jim, but they had to get back to the poker - I mean, the area alumni meeting.

I want you all to know that I do try calling for news. I have been most interested in the increase in unlisted phone numbers, and am considering (since I seem to be inadvertently doing the research) writing up a study on this phenomenon. Are we bunkering in for midlife? Say it isn't so!

I caught SCOTT PLUMB at home, though - while he was filling a tub for his offspring, in fact. In addition to Josh (13) and Jonathan (10), the family includes, as of her adoption in September '87, daughter Jessica, now five years old. Scott has, since June, been a lobbyist for the Massachusetts Federation of Nursing Homes. Scott's still living in nearby Lexington, and reported lunching with Boston Phoenix editor

42

DICK GAINES a while back, but before we could chat more the tub threatened to run over, and that was that.

MIKE MOONVES eluded me again- his wife, Jo, reported him off on a Florida recruiting trip. I think he was scouting for some prep blue-chippers to beef up the Governor Dummer Academy football team next year.

That's what admissions directors do, isn't it?

Finally, I'll just mention how pleasant EU.IS RATNER's voice is on his answering machine tape. I hope to have more on that one for next issue, folks.

Drop me a note.

Okay: quiz question from the '60s.

How many times is the word "duke" enunciated (sung?) in Gene Chandler's classic: ''The Duke of Earl?" (answer at end of column) Speaking of treasury and money, you will be thrilled to know that BRAD MOSES, our Class Agent, is after your wallet. Brad has the lovely job of getting you to part with lucre for "dear old Trinity." The Class of '67 is already recognized as the best class ever to graduate from Trinity (based on a recently-conducted survey of graffiti in college-area pubs) and is close to being the best contributing class. Trinity will take anything: cash, stocks, stamp collections, alimony payments, even valuable pets. Send it in.

Perhaps Peter has the same shooting eye in basketball that Steve had. If you are interested in what makes you tick, or not tick, then call Steve at 203-431-9144.

BOB BRICKLEY makes the news again. This time Bob received the Trinity Club of Hartford award This award was given to a Hartford-area alumnus for "outstanding service to the community and Trinity College." Probably more important than the recognition, is the $100,000 in gold coins that accompanies the presentation. As previously reported, Bob is dispensing gratis advice on how to accumulate wealth beyond the wildest dreams of avarice. Call Bob at 203-289-9301.

GLENN ROBINSON is now assistant professor of political science at Augustana College in Rock Island, IL. Glenn has moved to the College near the Mississippi River from the University of Texas at Dallas. Augustana College is,

according to Glenn, not unlike Trinity.

Consequently, if you want the complex world of political current events interpreted for you, call Glenn at 309-7497253.

TED RUCKERT says, "My practice (bringing in new babies) is booming.

I'm too busy. My kids (four and six) are awful. Either normally awful, or awfully normal. My wife (Sherry) is great. I need a vacation!" So there you have it from G. Theodore, the OB/GYN maestro of Rochester. If you are interested in where babies come from, give Ted a call at 716-232-3215. And Ted should know: he's delivered approximately 3,500 babies!

FLOYD PUTNEY's medical practice is also booming because of the new baby boom. Floyd is an OB/GYN doctor in Charleston, SC. Like Ted R., Floyd reckons he has also delivered between 3000 and 3500 babies! That's a lot of procreation, and the Class of '67 is loaded with doctors, so the count is incomplete. To escape from "pant-blow-pant," Floyd has built a getaway home on old Edisto Island.

The house is on two acres with deep water. Floyd's three little ones (fourth grade, second grade, and kindergarten) love it. If you are interested in how babies are made, call Floyd at 803-553-9441.

HAL CUMMINGS heads his own law finn, Cummings and Lanza, in South Windsor, CT. Hal has a general practice (divorce, dog bites, bar room brawls, and such), but his specialty is real estate development. Hal and his clients are involved in commercial development, housing and syndications.

The finn is housed in a beautiful old (1779) colonial, with plenty of room for lawyers and staff of 10. His finn is now one of the biggest in the area.

Hal's second life is in the military. Recently promoted to Lt. Colonel in the Army Reserve, he is chief legal officer in the 76th Division.

John J. Bonee III, Esq. One State St. Hartford, CT 06103 RICHARD BELAS was recently honored with a personal write-up on the front page of 1he WaU Street Journal.

Having served as chief counsel to Senate Minority Leader Dole, he resigned as of December 7 to practice law with the Washington firm of Dow, Lohnes & Albertson. Many thanks are in order to AL FARNELL for sending this notice to us, and I sincerely hope others of you will consider sending me information and clippings so that we can all share in such knowledge.

ALEX BELIDA has certainly reached a pinnacle in his career. After spending 12 years in Europe as an editor and reporter, he returned to Washington, D.C. to be the Voice of America's national news editor until late 1987 when he was detached fulltime as their Campaign '88 coverage chief editor/coordinator and senior political correspondent. He covered the primaries on both sides of the political spectrum and then, after Bush was nominated, his job became the "Bush

watch." He went with Bush to Florida for his immediate post-election vacation and again to Florida on the final weekend before his swearing-in. He covered his inauguration and now, as a reward, has been assigned as the VOA's senior White House correspondent. Interestingly, Alex gives us a little insight on Bush's personality: "With George Bush's indefatigable energy, his early morning starts, and late night proclivity for hopping out for pizza, this has already turned into an enormously trying position." He writes that VOA's White House broadcast office is a booth about the size of two phone booths in a windowless basement in the west wing of the White House; movement outside the press area is extremely restricted by "guys with Uzis under their arms, little plugs in their ears and microphones up their sleeves." Certainly the President will be the best story around in the next few years, and Alex must be congratulated for landing the post. We all sincerely hope that he will continue to write to us regularly to give us more tidbits for this column. On the personal side, he notes that his wife, Pat, covers Montgomery County, MD politics for a local newspaper; his eldest son, Adam, seven, is in second grade and played soccer this past year; his other son, Brian, four, attends preschool; and his daughter, Kate, two, is a constant delight.

YOUR SECRETARY has ef\ioyed creating his own volunteer local cable TV series called "Inside Out." The theme is to bring the inside of my town government and its issues out to the people. As a member of the town council, I have much to share. While our local cable TV network is a volunteer organization, it is quite professionally run. The show has been not only a lot of fun, but also a contribution to my community.

He captured 62 percent of the vote.

E

Iizabeth Egloff '75 had a difficult time calling herself a poet.

She had similar awkwardness when she was creating scripts for Search for Tomorrow . But being a playwright is a role that's a little bit easier to take and one that even taps into her previous careers.

Her Phaedra and Hippolytus was one of four productions of new works in progress that made up this year's Winterfest 9 at the Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, CT. But the third- year playwriting student at the Yale School of Drama made it to the Winterfest stage by a strange and circuitous route.

One of six children, Egloff was raised in Farmington, the daughter of a psychiatrist and a former nurse. "Psychiatry in my family was like shoes in other people's family , " she said over lunch before a rehearsal, fingering a strand of pearls over her all-black outfit.

Following school at KingswoodOxford in West Hartford, Egloff went to Hartford's Trinity College " in the days when they were just happy to have you there. " (EDITOR'S NOTE: Egloff explained she was referring to Trinity's open curriculum in effect at the time.)

While Trinity had the pleasure of her company, she wrote poetry.

"I took one playwriting class there, but I had this really gut notion that only men wrote plays," she says, "though I never would have expressed it to myself in that way."

Following her graduation from Trinity in 1975, she received a grant that took her to London, where she worked with a consortium of small publishing companies and continued to write poetry .

"I was never able to say [when people asked me what I did] that I was a poet," Egloff says . "My father has enormous difficulty just pronouncing the word poetry . He would sort of come to it and then stumble over it, giving it something like six syllables."

Egloff herself was feeling restricted by the poetic voice.

"One of the things that was wearing on me more and more was [the feeling] that poetry is this one voice that is always talking sort of in the distance.

And though poetry is very powerful for the 30 or 60 seconds it takes to enunciate the poem, it is still limited to an abstract notion of time and events. I think the bent of my mind is more concrete than real poets."

She returned from Europe, got a job in Boston at a publishing firm and became involved with a theater group.

Boston gave way to Providence, where she went to Brown University and received her master's degree with a double major in poetry and theater.

Then came S earch for Tomorrow.

Egloff moved to New York City in 1981 and soon ran into a friend who was starting a job as story editor for the popular soap opera. He offered her a job as his secretary. Broke, she said yes and helped him on scripts. After a few months, she became a regular writer for the show .

"The whole experience was really hilarious and in some ways really horrific, " she says.

It was also instructional.

"Since I had only done poetry, I had no sense of story," she says, "and here we were writing 40 different scenes each week, ali of which had to get through the same story point in a different way, which is what soaps do so well. Every scene was pretty much mandated that it had to be about three minutes, and you had to get the characters into a room , get the story points and get them out. It was a good discipline in that way ."

The experience "ended with a bang" wheh Egloff decided she wanted to take Search for Tomorrow into space.

ELIZABETH EGLOFF '75 on the steps of the Yale School of Drama. Her new play, Phaedra and Hippolytus, was part of Winterfest 9 at the Yale Repertory Theatre. (Photograph by The Hartford Courant-A Cmmectiwt Institution since 1764) "We had this whole idea about how Henderson, IN, w as going to go into space to run one of those mining operations which NASA had been talking about. We did a long-term, six-month projection of the story line. We handed it in on a Thursday night, and by Friday morning we were fued, just like that. My whole career there lasted nine months.

"The funny thing is that later they used portions of the story line, but they didn't do the gutsy stuff. They didn't actually send people into space but instead had some sort of space capsule built in Henderson . It was such a wimpy way out."

A lawsuit over the firing ended in the writers' favor. " But it still isn't resolved. The head writer spent my share of the settlement," Egloff says. "The Writers' Guild is still pursuing him somewhere on Mars."

Her soap opera career behind her, Egloff returned to the relative calm of Boston, where she taught screenwriting at Emerson College and rejoined the theater scene.

Three years ago, she applied to the Yale School of Drama ("because I didn' t want to die wondering if I could get into Yale School of Drama"). She was accepted and came to New Haven, "city of light, city of joy."

She kept her soap opera past a secret for almost a year. " I thought nobod y would take me seriously," she says, "because everyone is supposed to be serious here. The actors, of course, would love to be in soaps, but nobody actually talks about

Grabowski urged Egloff to try her own adaption, and she did, writing it in verse.

"It was the bridge that I had been looking for, because I had always felt weird about just dropping poetry and going into plays . I wanted to find some way to get both."

Egloff says that her collaborative relationship with Grabowski brings a duality to the sexuality involved in the play.

"Chris is like my alter ego, " she says , "and he understands innately where I'm coming from . I also think his sense of romanticism, humor, sweep, sentiment and, in a way, naivete sort of compensates from my shyness and cynicism," she says.

Egloff says there are also aspects of Greek tragedy that echo in the high drama of her soap opera.

"There is a similarity, " she says, "but the unfortunate thing for soap operas is that they have to maintain (the passion] for a month, and in Greek tragedy you do it in a three- minute speech. But the bigger-than-life aspects do intrigue me. I like not having to be realistic about the big emotions on stage. In a sense, it's the mask that interests me. " For the future, Egloff plans to continue working on her Phaedra play .

"We have this fiendish idea of putting (the play] to music," she says with a wicked smile. â&#x20AC;˘

it. "

For her Yale years, Egloff worked extensively with student director Christopher Grabowski, who staged her Winterfest play based on the Greek myth of an aging queen who falls in love with her stepson.

Last spring, Grabowski staged another version of the Phaedra story that intrigued Egloff.

"It caused this outcry because it explored the sexuality of the characters," she says "which was the great thing about it. But I thought it gave short shrift to Phaedra."

EDITOR'S NOTE: As an undergraduate, Egloff was an editor of the Review literary magazine for two years and won prizes for poetry and drama . Off campus, she had a scholarship to Hartford Conservatory where she studied voice, sang with a folk /rock group, and worked parttime itl a greenhouse and a bookstore . She received a Watson Fellowship to work with the London Consortium of Small Presses and to write poetry after graduating from Trinity .

Egloff will grad11ate from Yale School of Drama this year. In April, her play "The Swan " will be performed by the Ensemble Studio Theatre in New York City .

Question: What makes people do what they do? Why, for instance, did

KENT ALLEN choose the ministry while SHERYL GREENBERG BAKER chose to report the news? Why is JOHN BArn..E an architect and PATRICIA BLAKE a psychiatric social worker? How did RONALD BLITZ come to be in the travel business while LESUE BROATCH is a marketing ex-

ecutive? And what can we make of BILL BROWN the English teacher when MAJOR CAPERS is a standard compliance analyst in the office of mental retardation for the State of New York?

Frankly, I just don't know what to make of it. Only 200 years ago life was

very simple. There were only four types of jobs available: 1) Sailors to sail people to the newly-discovered lands; 2) Lumbeljacks to clear the land of trees; 3) Farmers to farm the land; 4) Hungry people to eat the food planted on the farms.

Now we have umpteen zillion types

of jobs. We have publicity managers like ALOISE BUCKLEY. We have district software specialists like BARBARA CLARK and marketing vice presidents like PETER COLIJNS. In the last 200 years, we have developed a need for electronics engineers like ROBERT COX and municipal marketing specialists like KEITH DEMPSTER. It's a darn good thing we were born when we were. Where could ROBERT FERNALD have found a job as an arbitrage trader 200 years ago? There may have been some pretty slow days for DOROTHEA M. S. Gl.ATTE as she waited at her office for someone to suddenly, urgently, need a deferred compensation annuity specialist.

How would you have liked to have been a city planner for the City of New Smyrna Beach, FL when the only town in America was Jamestown? And imagine being an antique dealer like STUART HORUNG during the Revolutionary War. All you could do is stare at the objects in your store and wait for them to get old.

So, I guess we are lucky. If a person like RICHARD HOTES wants to be an anesthesiologist there is no one to stop him. If T. KIMBAL JONAS opts to be an instructor of mathematics, so be it. We've got restaurant managers (ANDREW KAUFMAN) and interior decorators (DAVID KLEINBERG). We can always use an extra biologist (JOHN KONIK) and a pharmacist (HOWARD KRUGER).

As for longevity, who's to say these jobs won't last. If the Clorox Company doesn't need an area manager like JOHN UNEHAN 30 years from now, why I'll eat my starched shorts. And there are plenty of pipes around which pretty dam weU secures MICHAEL MAUS' job as vice president/plumbing and heating for Maus and Son, Inc. And there's even a need for the early retired like LESLIE C. HYDE. She had a baby girl (Sara) on April 28, 1988 and lives in Portland, ME. There will always be a Portland, ME won't there?

Since some of you haven't heard from him in that long, I'll pass along his whereabouts since we graduated. He worked at Arthur Andersen for three years and found time not only to take but pass the CP.A. exam. After carousing around the USA, he went to Wharton where he's finishing up his M.B.A. this spring. Best of all, Eric is engaged to Michele Panagos; they are planning a wedding for this September. Following the wedding, Eric will begin a job with Bain & Co. in Boston. lJZ BRENNAN, ESQ. is practicing law down in the southwestern part of the state. She lives in Stamford, lives it up all over the place, and sounds pretty great.

As you can tell, news is a bit thin.

However, there are two solutions to this problem. The first is to sit down right now and write me a note. I promise not to lose it and I'll write all about you in the next Reporter. The second solution is to make your plans now to come to our Fifth Reunion. That way you can personally update everyone.

Better yet, do both! See you there!

Constance E. Ware CONSTANCE EVERETT WARE, vice president for development, died March 7 at Hartford Hospital.

Ware joined the Trinity administration in 1964 as a member of the public relations staff and in 1970 was appointed assistant director of development. She was named associate director of development in 1974 and director in 1977, before becoming vice president in 1983.

"Connie was a person of truly remarkable energy, wit, and courage," President James F. English,Jr. said in announcing the news of her death. "The success of The Campaign for Trinity, which has exceeded its goal by a substantial margin, is largely the result of her professional skill and intense dedication to this College. She will be greatly missed by all of us who knew and admired her." The Campaign, a $42 million fund-raising effort launched in 1986, reached its goal last fall, eight months ahead of schedule.

The College paid tribute to Ware in a memorial service in the Chapel on March 17. Officiating were the Rev . Raymond S. Srnialowski, director of campus ministry for Catholic students, and the Rev. Alan C. Tull, chaplain. Edward A. Montgomery, Jr. '56, chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Brenton W .

Harries '50, charter trustee and co-chairman of The Campaign, read during the service; and several members of the development staff helped provide the mUSIC.

" What an extraordinary person she was: kindly, energetic, stylish, witty, fun ," English said in delivering the eulogy. He punctuated his remarks with anecdotes about Ware, which drew smiles from her friends and family who filled the chapel.

English noted that Ware's devotion to Trinity stemmed from her affection for the students. He said she also had a strong interest in assisting young alumni and staff members, especially women, with their career plans .

"She was a splendid model for them because no one ever balanced a close family life with a demanding professional career more gracefully and successfully than she," English said.

Ware, a resident of West Hartford and Newport, R.I., is survived by her husband, Richard H . Ware; three sons, Stephen of San Francisco, Calif., Robert F. II of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and Philip of Montgomery, Ala.; a sister, Catherine Everett of Stony Brook, N .Y.; and a granddaughter.

Trinity was not the sole beneficiary of Ware's fund-

raising skills . She had been chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the Hartt Opera Theater Guild, Hartford; a member of the Trustee Development Committee of The Convent of the Sacred Heart School, N ew York City; and, as a graduate of Manhattan ville College, class chairman of the Manhattan ville Alumni Association. Over the years she undertook numerous assignments for the Greater Hartford United Way, including chairman of the Individual Subscribers Section and of the University and College Division; and she served on various fund-raising committees for Hartford's Institute of Living and the Hartford Symphony Society.

Ware, who also was a lecturer at the Hartford Graduate Center, received the Outstanding FundRaising Executive A ward presented by the Connecticut Chapter of the National Society of Fund-Raising Executives in 1988. She was honored in the YWCA Women in Leadership program in 1979 and was given a United Way Volunteer Recognition Award in 1980.

A fund in her memory has been established at Trinty, and contributions may be sent to the Development Office.
