ALONG THE WALK TRINITY COLLEGE

TRINITY P ARENTS and their sons and daughters basked in warm, sunny October weather during Parents Weekend. Many watched men's and women's athletic competitions (above), and attended classes.

Lively Issues Debate Closes Fall Semester In the closing weeks of the fall semester, the campus was astir with debate, centered around lectures at Trinity by representatives of the N ation of Islam. The controversy began with allegations by so me students and faculty of intimidation and frisking by security guards of Minister Don Muhammad of the black separatist N ation of Islam religion at a November 21 lecture. In

addition, there were charges that anti-Semitic remarks were made at that event.

President Gerety asked the College's Racial Harassment Grievance Committee to investigate such charges and called for a campuswide m eeting to discuss bigotry as a threat to the Trinity community.

He condemned anti-Semitism, saying it was a form of racism. A special faculty meeting was also called.

Following those discussions, Gerety and the College administration planned special security measures for a December 6 talk by Conrad

Muhammad of the Nation of Islam.

While determined to uphold the principle of free speech on the Trinity campus, Gerety said, he also was committed to ensuring the safety of students and staff and the speaker himself. For that evening's lecture, he made contingency emergency plans with the Hartford police deJ)artment, added guards from their ranks to Trinity's security personnel, and closed the event to the public and media, to avoid any confrontation between the speaker and individuals from outside of the campus community and to allow seats in the lecture room for students who wished to attend . The lecture was attended by a capacity audience of 550. Many were turned away . Later in the week a unity rally was held on campus by student groups eager to unite following this difficult period, and more campus meetings were planned.

Reactions to the mahy issues raised in the events were wideranging, on- and off-campus. Writing in The Hartford Courant, columnist Tom Condon summarized some of the outcomes of the controversy: " It's a shame the public was banned, and I hope that can be avoided in the future . But a lot of good ~hings happened. Hundreds attended the second speech, and many are still arguing about it. Gerety exposed students to a position and let them make up their own minds. In other words , he got them to think ... "

Sponsored jointly by the Alumni and Development Offices, the Conference is designed to orient and assist Trinity's alumni volunteers.

In addition to numerous workshops, the volunteers met President Tom Gerety in a question-andanswer session, and heard a faculty panel entitled "New Curricular Initiatives: Toward the 21st Century, " and a student panel focused on "The Trinity Experience."

The participants also heard reports from Laurence S. Duffy, director of development, Gerald J .

At the Alumni Leadership

Awards Dinner held Friday evening, the Class of 1939 and the Class of 1964 were honored with two awards each. The Class of 1939 received the National Alumni Association A ward for increased participation and a second award for participation by a class out 50 years or less. The Class of 1926 won the other participation award for a class that has been out more than 50 years. The Class of 1964 won awards for the most dollars raised and for increased dollars raised.

The Bernard S. Dignam A ward was won by the Class of 1943 for the best record of a non-reunion class. The 1934 Alumni Fund Trophy was captured by the Class of 1969 for the best record in the Alumni Fund, while the Classes of 1979 and 1988 shared the 1916 Alumni Fund Trophy for best record by a class which has been out ten years or less.

Mozart's music will be getting extended play on campus this semester. The Middle Ages, the biomechanics of human movement, and Don Quixote will be the objects of fresh inquiry. Introducing these, and other new courses, into the curriculum is the interdisciplinary minor, the integrated six-course program of study which is one of the new nonmajor academic requirements approved by the faculty as part of a comprehensive revision of the College's general education curriculum.

Required of all undergraduates except those completing a regular interdisciplinary major, the minor integrates knowledge from at least three academic fields, enabling students to learn to relate different disciplines and bodies of knowledge to one another. To date, 23 minors have been approved.

Sophomores, the first class to take an interdisciplinary minor, were encouraged to declare their minor this fall term. As of mid-November, 44 of 489 in the Class had formally done so.

Another 25 have expressed interest, but not declared, a minor in Legal Studies, according to the coordinator of that minor, Andrew Gold of economics and public policy studies.

Associate Academic Dean J. Ronald Spencer says that some 15 to 20 new courses have been developed for minors, although primarily the interdisciplinary minors are based on existing courses. Courses in

ALONG THE WALK

Women's Studies were being planned even before the interdisciplinary minor requirement was adopted. At least one new course was developed in cognitive science, a "hot" interdisciplinary subject at many colleges, according to Spencer. Among other new courses is one developed by faculty members Julia Smith of history and Helen Lang of philosophy on the Middle Ages, which will serve as a core course for the minor in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. Andrea Bianchini, Kenneth Lloyd-Jones and Dario Del Puppo, all of modem languages, have created a course for the 路 same minor which compares the Renaissance literature of France, Italy and Spain. Professors Drew Hyland of philosophy and Edward Sloan of history have developed courses related. to technology for the minor in Technology and Culture.

Spencer says that it's early at this date to attempt to predict the "hottest" of the interdisciplinary minors.

He speculates, however, that the minor in Computer Technology and Modem Society might diminish the popularity of the computer coordinate major, and that the one in cognitive science could develop into a major. "We've already had two or three students doing studentdesigned majors in cognitive science," he said. "The minors have given us a chance to get at a very popular field like this. I'm very pleased that we're having this Technology and Culture minor now, when, with our new liberal arts program and our grant from the Sloan Foundation, we are trying to bring more courses dealing with technology into the curriculum."

Among the first students to formally declare minors, Formal Organizations attracted the greatest number (15), followed by Women's Studies (8), Computer Technology and Modem Society (6), and Studies in Progressive American Social Movements (4). Spencer speculates that the popularity of Legal Studies and Formal Organizations may be owed to students' desire to use the minor for vocational testing.

Michael Allen '92 declared a minor in Formal Organizations because, among other reasons, it has a required internship, which he wants to take. "I started thinking about it early. I wanted to combine it with my major, sociology, and chose a minor with the most courses that I would like and would count towards my major and minor. Sociology and economics are the two areas

Matthieu Pierre '92 declared a mi- . nor in Eighteenth-Century Studies early in his sophomore year because "it seemed pretty important so I got it out of the way right in the beginning." He feels that his minor will go "hand in hand" with his undeclared history major. He's already completed two courses in the micontin ued on page 8

Another Eisenhower Comes to Trinity

BY ROBERTAjEN CKES

hirty-five years after his famous grandfather, "Ike," visited TrinT ity, David Eisenhower came to

4

campus in October. The senior Eisenhower came during the first term of his presidency to accept an honorary doctorate. An inscribed stone on the Long Walk commemorates that day in 1954.

The visit by writer/university lecturer David Eisenhower was sponsored by the Phi Kappa Educational Foundation, Inc. of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, which David joined as an undergraduate at Amherst College. As he laughingly told an appreciative audience at his public lecture, he had come previously to Trinity in 1966 as a member of Amherst's freshman squash team. They arrived only in time for the match, "got whipped badly" by the score of 9-0 and left in the dark of night, he said .

During this visit Eisenhower met with senior history majors, advising them on their senior theses and reassuring them on the viability of their work. The 1628 8 1H'x 11" manuscript pages of biography he had written on his grandfather were not so very different from their 150- page projects, he told them. What was required, he said, was that they make that "leap of faith" that they indeed had something to say.

The 41-year-old Eisenhower, who is also writing a book on the year 1968 with his wife, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, reached that point himself in his three-volume work on his grandfather only after much struggle. "The focus of this joint biographical project crystallized in the summer of1975, at the time of the Church Committee Senate investigations in Washington," he recalled. At the time he was a second-year law student at George Washington University, observing the investigations, underway less than a year after the resignation of his father-in-law, Richard Nixon, as President, and several months after the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War. "The Committee delved into the

conduct of American foreign policy

by American presidents in the Vietnam era. There was a major reassessment underway: at one level, of the American presidency and at an even deeper level, of bigness, newness, change - big government, big military, big corporations. The refrain struck close to home, to a warning that my grandfather issued on the night ofJanuary 17, 1961, as he left Washington. He warned the American people in his final speech against the unwarranted acquisition of influence by the military-industrial complex. This kindled many memories in my mind. There was much to write about and say through the eyes of Dwight David Eisenhower, about the life and times he had experienced in our recent history."

Although he originally envisioned this work rather narrowly as a response to the Church Committee, he decided that it would be necessary to move back to the Eisenhower administration and situate him as president.

"I think I encountered problems historians will sympathize with," he recalls. "I had an ending to this thing, 1969 [the year of Eisenhower's death), but I didn't know where to begin. Along the way, I encountered what I think is a truism about the American presidency. I believe that the presidency is, above all, a mission-oriented job. One of the questions I was asking by then was, 'Why was Dwight Eisenhower in the presidency?' He was there because he was a popular man, to some degree because he was a hero, but above all he was elected president in 1952 because I believe the times required the kinds of attributes that he could contribute in the job.

"The overriding mission confronting the next president in 1952 could probably be summarized in his slogan, 'I shall go to Korea .' The world faced a crisis. The American people turned naturally to an individual associated with the Alliance of World War II when that relationship had worked."

The writer knew that he had to be-

WRITER David Eisenhower visited the Trinity campus in October and gave a public lecture. gin his biography of Dwight Eisenhower in the fall of 1943 with the World War II experiences which changed irreversibly his life and the course ofhistory. "One of the things I recognized that was different about my granddad from other American presidents is that he路served in Europe. His past, his orientation was different, and that had to do with the experience of the Americans in Europe. I didn't know what that experience was." The young Eisenhower determined that to understand his grandfather, he would need to recreate the momentous World War II experience as best he possibly could.

With 13 primary sources, including the diary of Eisenhower, and numerous secondary sources, he began to relive World War II, day by day , dispatch by dispatch, what was being reported to Eisenhower, what was being reported to Churchill. " I began in some strange way, especially late at night, to experience World War II, as it must have been experienced by

certain junior officers. I was so wrapped up in the chronology that the chronology itself became the writing. That was the initial leap of faith, that I could actually say something about World War II." The writer estimates that he is about " mid- course" in his biographical project, which he undertakes from the Eisenhowers' home in Berwyn, Penn. , along with intermittent lecturing in political science at the University of Pennsylvania. Eisenhower: At War 1943-1945 was published in 1986. A second volume is completed, but needs fme tuning.

Eisenhower emphasizes that he is not a trained historian and did not undertake the writing of the biographies as an academic project. "I think we're a long way from treating that administration historically, or any administration since 1932. There's contemporary treatment, and there's historical treatment. I think the histories of every administration even going back to Roosevelt are yet to be written." The mid-70s reassessment by the Church Committee which provided the initial spark for his work was one in which he was not disinterested. "My family represented 13 of those years," he says, adding that he sought through his work to make "a claim in the outcome of the argument." In his grandfather's life and work during decades of tremendous change, there was much to say, and the work, he felt, was "something that objective third party historians somewhere down the road would have to consult. "

David Eisenhower's research and observations on his famous grandfather and his privileged position as an observer of the Washi11gton political scene in the 1960s and 70s have yielded some fascinating "nuggets."

Herewith are some of those, gleaned from his Trinity visit.

Eisenhower the man: "He had innate physical courage. That counted for a lot in the military . I

5

ALONG THE WALK

worked for him on the farm for five years when I lived in Gettysburg. He was rarely asking any of the farmhands to do something that he hadn't already mastered himself. He was somewhat of a remote figure, so much older than I am, but he had certain ideas of what a well-balanced life was and he made that available for us on the farm. He was somebody with deep experiences; he had done a lot of things in his life. I remember everything seemed very consequential when I was a child, and even somber.

I felt even at the time what a great experience in World War II his was, what a tremendous event that was in our history and in world history ."

As a controversial figure: "Dwight D. Eisenhower is controversial in a sort of hidden way. He was an exceptional kind of president.

What justified a military man's crossing that boundary from the military life to the political: that's why he's controversial. That's why Ulysses Grant was controversial after the Civil War. I suggest in this book at one point there is a parallel in their careers. " Revisionist views: "The first thing that interested historians in Eisenhower was Vietnam. The Eisenhower administration had faced a decision in Vietnam and not gone in.

Suddenly, there's a feeling that there's a wisdom in that administration and that maybe there were hidden sources of truth here that we ought to investigate.

"As I began to delve back into the Eisenhower administration and beyond, I grasped how consistent things have really been since 1945.

World War II really brought on a system and an outcome that we have been living with ever since. The events in Europe that we're seeing going on right now are the first true change really since 1945. " The presidency: "When a president is confronting the mission that his presidency has assigned him to address, he deploys the full array of formal and informal powers that we associate with powerful presidents.

Success in the presidency does not mean future effectiveness; when a

president succeeds and his mission is fulfilled, the American people historically feel sentimental or grateful toward that president, but something begins to happen.

"Nixon was elected in 1968 with the overriding mission of solving the Vietnam War; when he appeared on the podium at his second inaugural in 1973 he was, I believe, a complete success in the job of the presidency by any yardstick. Dwight Eisenhower was elected president in 1952 with the mission of ending the war in Korea, of approaching the Soviets early on to begin conversations about disarmament, of meeting at the Summit in 1955, facing down domestic challenges toward that policy and making it a bipartisan one, running for reelection in 1956, and through his election enabling the American people to ratify those initiatives. I believe that on election night in 1956, Dwight D . Eisenhower was a complete success in the presidency. That was not the beginning of an Eisenhower era; Eisenhower was in trouble.

"One thing, parenthetically, that Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon had in common: the problems confronting their administration were foreign policy problems and inherently short- range. Contrast the rhythms of the Eisenhower and Nixon years with those of Roosevelt, elected with a domestic mandate to solve the Depression: this was an inherently long- range job."

Presidents on TV: "Fifteen years ago people would have dismissed the idea that Eisenhower was an effective television president, because Kennedy was so effective. Now that we've had a Reagan era, I think that we've come to appreciate that effectiveness on television oftentimes doesn't make an analytical method of evaluating presidents. Reagan's performances in the two debates in '84 against Mondale would have by definition in '60 positively disqualified him for ever and all time from ever being elected into the White House. These were astonishing performances . Yet that was fairly effective television.

"Ronald Reagan is somebody who was trained in the skills of communi-

cations as a professional actor.

Americans are living in an age in which they are conscious that television and other mass media perhaps inject a dimension into politics that we don't understand and can't control. That is, Americans are afraid of being manipulated."

On Truman: "I don't really understand their difficulties myself. From a distance I think someone would be inclined to look back at Harry Truman and say, 'What was the quarrel all about?' They had a lot in common - from the same part of the country, within 100 miles of each other, same background. Truman must have known how to make Eisenhower very angry, and vice versa.

"The transition from Truman to Eisenhower was a very bitter one.

It's just human nature. The animosity is always directed at your successor, never your predecessor.

Eisenhower bore no ill will toward Harry Truman at all. Truman felt passionately about Eisenhower. My granddad didn't think a thing of Truman, but he felt passsionately about Kennedy. I don't think Kennedy felt much about Eisenhower, but his people felt passionately about Johnson and were willing to destroy Johnson in '68 even at the risk of elevating Nixon to the presidency. It's human nature: you have this splendid responsibility, access to this great house and this great institution; you live in a way that not the greatest millionaire in the world lives; you' re at the center of things; and all of a sudden some guy moves into your house, your bedroom . . . " On Roosevelt: "Eisenhower occupied in World War II the position of the highest trust and confidence that a president can bestow on any individual. He was in charge of the European Theatre, and the European Theatre was not something that was an obvious choice for us, although it may seem so in retrospect. Dwight Eisenhower was entrusted with carrying that policy out. He admired Roosevelt as an individual; he admired his wartime leadership. He got to know Roosevelt in the spring of '42, because he was a courier between the War Department and the White

House on the MacArthur matter. He saw him daily. He became a Republican when he saw Harry Hopkins draped in the Lincoln Bedroom with his feet on the bed. In other words, he thought they were just too darned settled in. He smelled even in the spring of 1942 that maybe it should be time for a change."

On PaHon: " He admired Patton tremendously. Patton knew it. He knew that Eisenhower worshipped him, and he took advantage of Eisenhower."

On MacArthur: "My grandfather worked for Douglas MacArthur in Washington for six years as an aide.

He called Eisenhower ' the best clerk I ever had, ' and Eisenhower called MacArthur ' the finest instructor of dramatics I ever studied with.' "

On Nixon: "Nixon spent a tremendous amount of time writing his own speeches. It was one of the ways he kept himself informed about what was going on in the executive branch . The other thing was to spend three days preparing for a press conference. Nixon viewed the press conference as a performance, as his opportunity to try to tie everything together."

On the upcoming book on 1968: " If nothing else, we want to understand the Watergate period and the things that caused the resignation. To do that, you have to experience Vietnam. Vietnam is much harder. The Watergate period is a holiday compared to the Vietnam War. " Presidential record keeping: " If you go to Abilene, Kansas, you

will see on file one of the best sources on my granddad's life and times.

That is a diary that my granddad's secretary, Nancy Whitman, kept of the comings and goings around the Oval Office. It is full oflots of nuggets. A typical entry was: 'This morning the President departed early, to play golf at Burning Tree, and as he left, he paused at the door and sighed, 'Dear God, give me the strength to hit it easy. ' ' " I can actually document the very beginning of my writing career. I have documentation due to the miracle of modern presidential record keeping. An entry on July 14, 1958, reads : ' David, aged 10, came in bearing the manuscript of the novel he had written. ' My cousin Janet had come East from Chicago in the summer of 1957, and she made a big impression on me, so I had written a novel entitled Janet's Stay. I did the

He was struggling with the War. I was struggling with the book, so I felt a sort of oneness with this individual which would not have been possible otherwise.

History Comes Alive In Internship Sponsored by Alumnus Alexis Brashich '90 spent last summer on the seacoast, but she wasn't just hanging out on the beach.

For two months, the senior American studies major lived and worked as an intern at Strawbery Banke, an historic coastal neighborhood in Portsmouth, N.H., which spans three centuries of social history.

During her stay, Brashich lived in the 18th-century Hough House and explored varied aspects of Strawbery Banke's operation. She measured window sills and door frames of old buildings, pored over probate records, did research on genealogy and social history, worked on inventories, toured historic homes and even assisted on a video project about Strawbery Banke. "I had no idea that I would be doing so much.

I thought I would just be doing research on houses," she said afterwards.

"Alexis was great; she just has so much energy. We were happy to have her," said Karin Cullity, assis-

tant curator of Strawbery Banke.

"I was very lucky to be the first intern from Trinity," said Brashich, a New York City resident . "I loved Portsmouth, living and working in a totally different town. When I wasn't working, I was exploring big-time - walking, biking, borrowing a car to explore the coast. I was sad to see it end."

Before heading north to New Hampshire, Brashich spent two weeks in Newport, R.I., studying with the Victorian Society of America. The previous summer, she worked at the Information Exchange of the New York Municipal Art Society. After graduation, she plans to pursue "something along the museum lines."

Jameson S. French '75, an overseer and former president of the board of Strawbery Banke, provided funding for the new internship. A history major at Trinity, he has maintained a strong interest in American history and historic preservation. "I have a long-running interest in Strawbery Banke. My grandparents helped get it established in the late '50s and early '60s," he said. " I live in the neighborhood; I keep actively involved. I helped with a major capital campaign and the hiring of the new director.

"This internship was a very nice way for me, as an alumnus, to support both institutions: the College and the charitable organization I'm involved with. It's important to have a good selection of college interns at Strawbery Banke," said French. ''I'm very pleased with this summer's results and I hope it will develop a nice link between American studies at Trinity and Strawbery Banke. I hope we have another intern of Alexis's caliber next summer."

Over 300 Trinity students each year participate in a variety of internships, and approximately half of each class completes at least one internship before graduation, said Anne Lundberg Utz, coordinator of Trinity 's internship program. During the summer about two dozen students undertake internships for academic credit, and many others do non-credit internships for their own benefit.

'Jones Project' Allows Dorm Residents To Live, Learn Together II II II II 1111111 .... II

For the first time since the late 1970s, a large group ofTrinity freshmen is living under one roof.

More than 100 new students are participating in the "Jones Project," a program designed by the Office of Residential Services and named for the dormitory in which the freshmen are housed. Unlike freshman dormitories of the last decade, the Jones Project offers its residents not only a chance to live together but to learn together.

"We were interested in repeating the freshman dorm experience, but with more of a master plan to it," says Kristina B. Dow, director of residential services. "Our goal was more than simply putting freshmen together."

The centerpiece of that goal is University 101, a Sunday evening workshop series that is held in Jones for residents of the dormitory and

the students who comprise the residential services staff. Topics last fall included "Reproductive Health: Yes, We're Talking About AIDS;" "Families: Dynamics and Communication;" and "Time/Stress Management: Beyond Mid-Terms and Onward to Finals." Although it is not mandatory, says Dow, attendance at the programs has been strong.

"It's a pretty good way to introduce new things that you don't get in the classroom," Scott Toth '93 says of University 101.

In addition to University 101 , the College has provided students in the Jones Project with new furnishings and has ensured that each of the three floors in the dormitory included a social lounge and a study room. More than the normal complement of residential staff also was assigned to Jones. A concentration of resources, says Dow, is one of the benefits afforded the Jones Project residents.

"The students in Jones also have a greater feeling of confidence in their living situation," Dow says. "The students are able to say 'We're all new. We're all in the same boat. ' No question is too stupid."

The Jones Project also allowed the College to identify role models for the freshmen, since members of the residential staff are the only upperclassmen living in the dormitory.

Dow says these students are doing a wonderful job, and she credits them with the project's success.

"The staff is clearly trying to make this a really good, solid experience for freshmen," says Dow. "They are really thinking about what they're doing . They're taking it very seriously."

William D. Grube '92 is one of the staff members in Jones. He says he is impressed with the camaraderie in the dorm.

"The Jones Project is everything I wish last year could have been for me," Grube says. "Last year I lived on a floor with upperclassmen.

The fund was established with gifts from alumni, family and friends after her death in March. She was a member of the Trinity administration for 25 years, joining the College's public relations staff in 1964 and working in the development office from 1970 until her death.

The income from the fund will be used to provide financial aid students with the funds necessary to meet unusual needs or take advantage of special opportunities which do not fall within the normal financial aid package, such as study abroad or special research projects.

According to Director of Development Laurence S.

THE SIXTIES A recollection of a decade of rebellion and ferment.

BY j. RONALD SPENCER

"T

he Sixties" is a topic with special resonance for those of us who were born between Pearl Harbor and the Korean War and thus came of age between roughly John Kennedy's election in 1960 and George McGovern's defeat in 1972. When the Class of '64 graduated, the United States was on the verge of a period of almost unimaginable political turmoil and cultural upheaval.

Granted, a surface calm prevailed in the land on that fine June day when we received our bachelor's degrees . But one didn't have to look too hard to detect subterranean currents of dissatisfaction and dissent already gathering force.

The literature with which some of us were fascinated- ranging from Salinger throughJoseph Heller's Catch 22 and Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" to Malraux's Man's Fate and Camus' The Plaguespoke to our feelings of alienation, a growing unease with the potentially corrupting materialism of an affluent society, a restless yearning for a life of action to certify our authenticity. Reports ofStrontium 90 in the food chain because of atmospheric nuclear testing, plus a generalized anxiety about nuclear apocalypse, had led a few of us to the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy and other peace groups. The question of whether it was better to be "Red or dead" was being debated here, albeit in muted tones. When George Will publicized the Ben Reid case in The Tripod in early 1962, the issue of capital punishment was moved into the foreground of our consciousness. Students for a Democratic Society was unknown at Trinity in 1964, as it was on most campuses. But its Port Huron Statement, setting forth the compelling idea of "participatory democracy, " was already two years old. Soon, SDS would begin a great leap forward in membership and visibility, as the events of the next few years lent seemingly ever-greater force to its radical critique of American society and U.S. foreign policy.

Closer to hand , thanks largely to Jack Chatfield '64 and to Ralph Allen '64, we had the stirring example of the Southern civil rights movement. The courage, idealism and sheer existential bravura of

'64

the "Snick" (SNCC) workers, both white and black, impressed all but the most politically indifferent among us . Finally, though we couldn't know it at the time, American military involvement in Indochina was about to take a decisive turn: the Tonkin GulfResolution passed Congress less than three months after we graduated, the bombing ofNorth Vietnam began in earnest in February, 1965, and by the end of that year U .S. troop strength in South Vietnam had risen to 84,000.

Whatever one's politics, the next half-dozen years were a wrenching time . The period from 1967 to 1970, in particular, was, as Todd Gitlin has written, like "a cyclone in a wind tunnel." The war escalated steadily: over 500,000 U.S. troops were committed by the time of the Tet offensive in early 1968, and American planes ultimately dropped four times the tonnage of bombs on Indochina that they had dropped in all ofWorld War II .

The anti-war movement also escalated, shifting from teach-ins and petition campaigns to massive protest demonstrations, draft resistance, and, on its outermost fringes, efforts to cripple the war machine through acts of sabotage. Everywhere, militancy and rebelliousness abounded- in the N ew Left, on the campuses , among blacks, and - a little later - on the part of women, gays and other groups that felt existing social arrangements were intolerably oppressive.

Simultaneously, a "counterculture" burgeoned, contemptuous of traditional mores, fueled partly by psychoactive drugs, es pousing a vision of uninhibited sexuality, of a "new consciousness," of alienation overcome through the creation of a lo ving community - a sort of perpetual Woodstock Nation. On every hand, conventional wisdom was questioned, authority mocked, established institutions derided . To adapt a phrase of Marx's, it seemed that everything solid was melting into air.

This was an intensely ideological time, a time of passionate sloganeering: "do your own thing" . ..

"Hell, no, we won't go" ... "don't trust anyone over thirty" ... " flower power," " Black Power,"

WAR PROTESTS were a familiar event in the 1960s.

"Power to the People" ... "tune in, turn on, drop out" . .. "Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh/NLF Is Going To Win" ... etc., etc.

As old restraints dissolved and decorum was tossed onto the ash heap, elements of the adversary culture mounted some astonishing stunts, bringing to politics a kind of anarchistic theatricality: Abbie Hoffman, dressed in a cowboy suit and firing two cap pistols, disrupted a meeting of the Socialist Scholars' Conference with a demand that Herbert Marcuse, the rather ponderous German Marxist, stop reading his paper and start smoking dope; and Jerry Rubin answered a subpoena from the oncefeared House Un-American Activities Committee

stoned on marijuana, blowing soap bubbles, wearing a Revolutionary War uniform. Then there was the remarkable series of Yip pie put-ons during the run- up to the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago: the threat to contaminate the city's water supply with LSD, to kidnap delegates off to Wisconsin, to import "super studs" to seduce the delegates' wives and daughters.

Such antics aside, we of course know that far too many of the events of the Sixties were occasions not for mirth but, rather, for weeping: • Three civil rights workers murdered in Philadelphia, Mississippi, during the Freedom Summer of 1964;

zation has created;" of an intellectual like Susan Sontag asserting that the United States was a "doomed country" and that "the white race is the cancer of human history;" of an academic like Louis Kampf, at the time president of the Modern Languages Association, declaring that, "The movement should have harassed Lincoln Center from the beginning. Not a performance should go by without disruption. The fountains should be dried with calcium chloride, the statuary pissed on, the walls smeared with shit."

Nor should one overlook the contempt that some movement people expressed for the values, the aspirations and the simple patriotism of ordinary Americans- contempt that did much to discredit liberalism as well as radicalism, to shatter the old Roosevelt coalition, and to drive many "ethnics" and working people into the arms of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.

Perhaps worst of all, in the closing years of the decade there was growing fascination with violence in some sectors of the Left, and an attitude of indulgent tolerance of it in others. Violence not simply as a political tactic, but as a morally elevat• • • ing and spiritually cleansing act. This was reflected Looking back, it's not hard to find things in the in the adulation of Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of Sixties that were hopeful and good: the surge of the Earth, in the romanticizing of the Black Panther moral passion, the insistent demand that America Party with all its military posturing, in the notorilive up to its democratic and egalitarian ideals, the ous New York Review ofBooks cover giving instrucoverthrow of legally-enforced Jim Crow in the tions for how to make a Molotov cocktail.

Tearing Down the Wall Proftssor Brigitte Schulz was teaching when her husband raced in with the news about the B erlin Wall. Since then, she and her colleagues in Soviet studies have talked about little else.

or the past two months, the eyes of the world have been trained on East Germany. Among those who are watching most closely are a number ofTrinity professors who, for personal and professional reasons, have been spellbound by the remarkable changes coinciding with the opening of the Berlin Wall. " This government had little legitimacy from the beginning," says Brigitte Schulz, a new member of the political science department and a native of West G~rmany. Schulz, now an American citizen, was a fellow of the International Research and Exchange Board (IREX) and the first Fulbright Scholar given permission to study in East Germany, where she and her husband, William Hansen, and their son lived in 1983-84. Through IREX, Schulz traveled to Washington, D.C., on Nov. 21 to brief Congressional staff members on the situation in East Germany; and she was one of five people to testify before the Congressional Committee on Foreign Affairs' Subcommittee on E~ropean Affairs. 路 "There was never an election (in East Germany) ," says Schulz, whose analyses of the changes in that country have been carried by Conneqicut newspapers and television and radio stations. "These self- appointed leaders never got into of4ce because there was a popular revolution . This makes it very different from China, this makes it very different from Cuba, and in a significant way makes it very different from the Soviet Union.

Eastern European societies never had socialist revolutions.

"Governments that do not represent the majority of the population always go fast," Schulz continues. "Look at Iran . Look at Marcos and the Philippines. They are pressure cookers. Once the explosion starts, it's unstoppable."

ranged for two East German scholars who are in the United States this year to participate in a campus discussion of the future of their homeland.

Their presentation, just one week after the Wall opened, was commented on by Samuel K assow, a Soviet specialist in the department ofhistory. In his remarks, Kassow outlined the rethinking of Soviet security doctrine in the early 1980s that contributed to the opening of the Berlin Wall. " If the basic aim of the U.S.S .R .'s stance in Europe since 1950 has been to weaken NATO and to get the United States out of Europe, if it could do so through relaxation of controls in Eastern Europe ... why shouldn't the Soviet Union try to achieve the same aim through less bellicose means, " Kassow told more than 100 professors and students who braved a tornado watch to listen to the panelists . "Gorbachev has argued that Finland, in a sense, was better off- as far as the Soviet Union was concerned- being an independent but neutral country: the benefits to the Soviet economy are much better than if Finland were the 16th Soviet republic.

"Aren't the Soviets gambling too much ?" Kassow asked . "Gorbachev . .. sincerely believes that communism is not dead, that it's not seen its day, that the agenda is simply redefining socialism, that the time will come when the working class in the Eastern European countries will come to see the Communist Party perhaps once again, in new form, as the defender of its legitimate interests . For example, I think it's tru e that most people of Eastern Europe do not want bare-knuckle market economy.

Professor Celebrates With Friends, Family As Berlin Wall Opens K arl H aberlandt recalls his own journey to freedom thirty years ago.

18

O n March 2, 1959, Karl Haberlandt boarded a train for freedom.

The East German-born professor of psychology at Trinity was only 18 years old when he left his homeland to begin a new life in the West.

Despite the 30 years that have passed since that day, Haberlandt rejoiced when the Berlin Wall opened on Nov. 9, recalling with each smiling East German face the happiness he felt at the moment he was free .

Haberlandt, one of five children, was raised in Tangermiinde, a town of 15,000 inhabitants located 70 miles west of Berlin. He says his leaving was a family decisionone that was discussed for a long, long time.

"We are a very closely knit family, and it was tough to leave for that reason," Haberlandt says, his German accent still much in evidence. "But anything, any job, was better than staying in East Germany.

"I was a rebellious youth," he says. "I always saw how my grandparents and parents listened to West German radio stations, which was not permitted. Yet I could see that they felt oppressed. Even as children we had a double culture: a public face that you showed to your teachers and schoolmates, and your real self shared with friends and family."

One of Haberlandt's first acts of resistance, at age 13, was his refusal to join the "Free" German Youth, the Communist youth organization run by Erich Honecker. His decision, he explains, would have prevented him from attending the

secondary school that would prepare him for college; but his father intervened.

"He went to my teacher, and they enrolled me in that organization," Haberlandt recalls. "You know, the night before I left East Germany, I burned that membership card that I had never signed."

Haberlandt also was the only one of 15 boys in his high school class who refused to "volunteer" for the National People's Army, an act that locked him out of university study.

"I felt, even as a high school student, that the ideology upheld by the government was inhuman," Haberlandt says, noting that individual rights and aspirations were worth nothing. "All that counted was the abstract notion of a workers' paradise and everyone's subservience. I wanted to go to university and study what I wanted to study. I was after a liberal education."

On the morning of his departure, Haberlandt purchased a one-day, round-trip ticket to East Berlin. He traveled with a high school friend, who recited, in detail, the story of The Caine Mutiny in order to calm Haberlandt's nerves. The three-hour

trip seemed unending, Haberlandt says, but they finally reached the border between East Germany and West Berlin. Haberlandt disembarked with his fellow passengers, walked across the border, and got into a commuter train. At one of the stops in West Berlin, he stepped off.

"I felt like screaming, I was so happy!" Haberlandt says.

Haberlandt spent the next 20 days in a refugee camp, first in West Berlin and then near Hamburg. Because his high school diploma was not fully recognized in West Germany, he enrolled in a program that offered the courses necessary to complete it; and in November 1959 he began his studies at the Free University of Berlin.

"As students, we worked all kinds of jobs," Haberlandt says, laughing. He delivered bread to stores, swept streets, washed dishes, stuffed envelopes, pulled weeds, picked apples, and worked on an archaeological excavation.

He was even employed as an assistant in a dance school.

When he finished his studies in 1964, Haberlandt came to the United States for what was sup-

posed to be a year of study at Yale University. At the end of the year, an unfinished research project and an American sweetheart kept him in this country. He became a U .S. citizen in 1972.

Haberlandt did not return to East Germany until 1975, when he worked up the courage to spend an afternoon in East Berlin. It was not until 1979 that he fmally returned to Tangermi.inde.

Haberlandt, husband of Susan Martin '71 and the father of two, is in close touch with his mother and siblings, all of whom still live in East Germany. His brother Helmut, whom Haberlandt remembers calling on the day the Wall went up, telephoned Haberlandt for the first time in 28 years on the day the Wall came down. Helmut is a member of the New Forum opposition group. " It won't be easy for him with all he faces," Haberlandt says of his youngest brother. "There are no democratic institutions in East Germany, no democratic traditions.

They have to construct everything from scratch.

"Helmut does feel that he doesn't want to copy West Germany," Haberlandt continues. Although the East Germans have been denied such civil liberties as free travel, they see on television that the West Germans have unemployment, spend a much higher percentage of their income on rent, and have greater problems with drugs and AIDS. Helmut also told Haberlandt that people in the West seem to lack warmth in their interpersonal relationships, an impression Haberlandt suspects stems from the complete trust East Germans develop in family and friends.

"Once you trust that someone will not betray you to the authorities, you make a commitment to that individual," Haberlandt says.

The reunification of the two Germanies is something Haberlandt has difficulty envisioning. In 45 years the two societies have grown apart, he says, and for almost 30 years real interaction between the two has been blocked. A stronger relation-

ship between East and West Germany probably will come about in the context of the European Community, he says, but he admits it is hard to predict. " If you had asked me two months ago, 'Karl, do you think the wall will be opened up pretty soon?, ' I would have said, 'No. ' So much for crystal balls!"

Haberlandt's excitement over the changes in East Germany stem only

in part from his roots in that country . He says he also reacts to the changes as someone who has lived in the West for more than 30 years.

"As an American, I am delighted; and I would be even if I didn't have brothers and a sister in East Germany, " he says. "I hope this enables us to forget about a big defense build-up and to apply the money we spent there on our own social problems." •

economic security of a socialist country."

Schulz agrees . She says that given a chance to decide, many East Germans would want democratic socialism.

"When I testified to (Congressman) Lee Hamilton, I said 'Look. Don't think that Eastern European workers want to be like American workers, ' " she recounts . " They pity American workers, because American workers have no rights to speak of. They can be hired and fired pretty much at will, and those are conditions that an East German or a Pole wouldn' t put up with for a minute. " The people who are going to stay and are looking for reforms will look for some way of combining the elements of socialism with elements of a market economy, and free elections, and democracy, " she adds . "But to them democracy means more than just the right to vote. To them, democracy would also mean some sort of a democracy in

the workplace. Which is why the real model is social democracy and, really, Sweden. I think that's the model they look to, not to the United States."

Looking to the futute, Kassow told the audience at the panel discussion that the "crisis" in East Germany is, on one hand, helpful to Gorbachev. Until recently, conservatives in the Communist Party said that reforms were unnecessary .

"This crisis helps Gorbachev's position because it makes it harder for the conservative opposition to say 'Get out of here. We have better ideas,' " Kassow explained. "They can still say 'Get out of here,' and they 'd like to do that, but the problem is they don' t have any better ideas. There are no models that are working any more."

According to Schulz, the fast-paced changes in East Germany also are reason for concern. Although reforms cannot take place quickly enough as far as the citizens are concerned, no governments, including those in the West, want the level of instability that accompanies speedy change.

"When there is too much anarchy, it gives an excuse for the conservative forces in the military, in politics, to take over again," she says. "It's out of control right now. To all intents and purposes, East Germany doesn't have a government .. ..

There is such massive distrust and such massive instability."

Despite her concern, Schulz disagrees with those who fear that East Germany might again become the country it was before the Berlin Wall was opened. Even if Gorbachev is overthrown and there is a resurgence of conservative communist rule, it will only be for the short term, she says.

"In the long term, the people have lost their fear," Schulz says. She tells of East German students who in 1983-84 warned her about the presence of state spies at her lectures but who today say, "Report me; I don't care."

"This is what has changed," Schulz says. "People have made the quantum leap from allowing themselves to be terrorized for 40 years to saying, 'No more. You have lost your power over me.'

Once you stand up like that, you have reclaimed the power of your life."

Kassow and Schulz agree that talk of reunifying the Germanies is premature. The conditions are not right, says Schulz, and the fate of the German question is intricately linked to the future of Europe and superpower relations. The magnet that will draw East Germany to the West is not West Germany but the European Community and 1992.

PROFESSORS Kassow and Schulz have spent many an hour discussing the amazing events in East Germany.

"The GDR can be integrated into Western Europe, but not into West Germany," she says.

"I think Gorbachev believes that it is possible to achieve a high degree of economic integration and even political confederation but that the political elites of both of the German states understand that it would be crazy even to put unification on the agenda unless there's a real renegotiation of the alliances," Kassow says.

In examining the situation in East Germany, Schulz says she sees an important foreign policy lesson for the United States. That lesson, she says, is something she made clear in her meeting with Congressional staff members in November.

"We also have been supporting dictatorships all over the world . .. just like El Salvador now," Schulz says. "The Soviets for the longest time said people rising against the dictatorships they supported were counter-revolutionaries. Well, that's, in a way, what we're saying: 'the rebels' in El Salvador. What are they rebelling against? Dictatorships.

"It is completely hypocritical to celebrate the rise against dictatorships in one part of the world while supporting our own in another," she says. ''I'm really hoping that as part of all of this we will learn that the will of the people is important, even when they are brown people who grow bananas instead of white people who work in factories. Because in the end, history is on the side of people who fight against oppression." •

SIMPLE MINDS Dan Lloyd, assistant professor ofphilosophy

MIT Press (Cambridge, Mass.), 1989, 266 pages, $25.00 hardcover How does the brain embody the mind? Drawing on philosophy, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, Simple Minds explores the construction of the mind from the matter of the brain. The book's primary focus is the centerpiece of cognitive science, the concept of representation. Lloyd's dialectical theory of representation explains cognition in simple minds and offers provocative glimpses into language, consciousness, and reasoning in the complex human mind.

Lloyd asserts that an adequate theory of representation must explain how representations arise in purely physical systems and must account for familiar aspects of thought. Following a critique of two current models of representation in cognition, he offers a new theory developed through the imaginary evolution of simple information-processing systems . The theory is first used as an analytic tool in a survey of connec-

tionism and neuroscience and then is extended to encompass human consciousness and cognition.

The book discusses in detail both philosophical issues and empirical science. It takes seriously the need to consider the realities of both the physical organism and the mental representations that guide the interaction of the organism with its environment.

I. Izja Lederhendler of the National Institutes of Health says of Simple Minds: " This book is very important. The ideas in which Lloyd is interested are exciting.

His synthesis is a restructuring of the ways to think about the mind. It can have a significant impact. " Jay L. Garfield of Hampshire College says, "This is a superb book .. . The integration of empirical with philosophical claims and arguments is excellent. There is nothing forced about the interdisciplinarity of this investigation."

STANDING ROOM Prose Poems Gian Lombardo '75

Dolphin-Moon Press, Baltimore, 1989, 80 pages, $6, softbound This collection of short tales and prose poems by Gian Lombardo follows Between Islands , a collection of poems and verse translations, published by Dolphin-Moon in 1984.

"Standing Room is a tortured alphabet of dreams, " writes Michael Martone.

"Baudelaire meets Buster Keaton, where stares become words ... Lombardo's straight-faced prose poses as a new type of scientific writing seeking to define the emotion of the brain and the knowledge of the gut." In N ew York Press, John Strausbaugh writes, " The pieces are enigmatic and quietly surrealistic, walking a very fine high wire stretched between the everyday and a dryly sardonic personal folklore .. . A harmless-looking little reality-bomb set to implode quietly in the imagination."

Lombardo is a freelance editor and publishing consultant in the Boston area .

D eath in the Balance attempts to bring into focus the current debate in the U .S. over the question of the death penalty.

The intensity of the debate has been rekindled by the execution ofTed Bundy, calls for the execution of drug kingpins, and the recent Supreme Court decision permitting the execution of criminals as young as 16 and those who are mentally retarded.

I, The Great War At Sea , had remained in print for two decades, he decided on a similar format, zeroing in on offbeat episodes during the Civil War, for this book. As the idea jelled and his research began, he remembered snippets of information and stories he had heard in the past: of the Confederate naval officer who attempted to steal the ships tied up in a Portland, Maine harbor; of a Mississippi steamboat captain whose boat was commandeered to take more than 100 prostitutes out of Nashville, Tenn. , after its occupation by Union troops; and of early Confederate submarine experimentation in the harbor of Charleston, S.C. These stories, along with the Monitor and the Merrimack, Admiral Farragut in Mobile Bay, the famous Confederate raider Alabama, and several others, make up Damn the Torpedoes . With his unique emphasis on lesser-known incidents and their sometimes tragi-comic outcomes, Hoehling presents a fascinating overview of two fighting forces on the brink of modern naval warfare.

Both books by Scott B. MacDonald '78 These two books encompass work on this vital subject begun by MacDonald four years ago. At the time, his responsibilities as unit manager of the International and Specialized Industry Group and senior country risk analyst at Connecticut National Bank necessitated his study of major economic and financial trends in a number of Latin American countries. By 1985, it had become clear that the amount of capital involved in the Latin American drug trade was huge, he writes . Curious about the impact of the drug trade, particularly with regard to the debt crisis, MacDonald be-

gan to ask questions. His study then showed: 1) only the surface of the problem had been scratched; 2) there was not an extensive literature on the pohtical and economic aspects of the drug trade in the '80s; and 3) as an $80-$150-billion business, the drug trade had major political and social ramifications.

MacDonald writes in his preface to Dancing on a Volcano that, three years later, literature on the illicit drug trade remains underdeveloped, because of the dangers involved in collecting data, and because much of the data that does exist is suspect. Nonetheless, in this book, he examines the political, economic, and sociological structure of the Latin American drug trade. The book places the drug trade in historical perspective to get at the roots of current drug-related problems: large addict populations, high crime rates, and the drain of government revenues used to combat drug trafficking. For this book MacDonald interviewed people involved in all aspects of the trade, bringing the human side to bear on this critical problem.

In the second book, Mountain High, White Avalanche, MacDonald studies the impact of cocaine, the key dynamic of the drug trade. Although it is produced in Bohvia, Colombia, and Peru, the influence of the cocaine trade has spread to other Andean states. Even countries on the periphery such as Panama have become involved, as transit points and money-laundering centers . Also considered is the relationship between cocaine and power, specifically, the political and economic power of those in the trade, and governments in the region. Final chapters in the book offer pohcy options on contending with the problem.

Syndicated columnist Georgie Anne Geyer said of this book : "Scott MacDonald's comprehensive and original insight into the modern drug trade that is destroying the moral fiber of America is 'must' reading. For unless we know where the rot starts, we will never know where it can finally end."

Currently with the office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Dr. Scott B. MacDonald is also the author of Trin-

Six-Packs at 4 O'Clock

I t's been several decades since I was a student at Trinity and things have changed a lot during this period. Obviously, too, a g raying parent looks at things differently from an undergraduate or more recent alumnus. However, I have been active in recruiting applicants all these years and through them and their parents have some insight into Trinity's current environment. I would add that the College means a lot to me.

During the Alumni Leadership Conference of 1988, Dean Cohn was one of several Trinity administrative, student and alumni personnel who addressed our group. All the speakers were naturally upbeat and positive. Dean Cohn was no exception except that she added a degree of candor by recognizing a number of problems which others had typically been reluctant to bring up, and expressing the challenges they offered the College.

In the Letters contained in the fall issue I saw not one supporting Dean Cohn's "Six-Packs at 4 O'Clock" article. If said letters represent the extent of the reaction to her article then I am concerned that the Trinity Community misses the whole point of Dean Cohn's remarks. While I cannot speak for her and she certainly does not need me to defend her, I interpret Dean Cohn's comments to be a searching inquiry of attitudes and values on the Trinity campus. I view what she says as an attempt to define values shaping the Trinity environment so that the school can devise programs to help shape a culture which does not do away with parties but rather puts them in their proper perspective.

I would suggest that the various Trinity constituencies seriously ponder Dean Cohn's provocative statements and recognize that Trinity does have some real problems which if they go unchallenged can erode many of the values embodied in the school since its founding.

TWO DOCTORS' COMPASSIONATE MINISTRIES

In Afghanistan, Life Intertwines with War

BY MARTHA

DAVIDSON

Jr. "62.

PEOPLE come to an outdoor Mghl'ln clinic for treatment.

WHEN CHARLES H. CLASSEN, JR. '62 went on vacation last year, his luggage included two bags full of surgical equipment.

On his return trip a month later, the same bags were filled with handwoven Afghan rugs - souvenirs of the doctor's vacation spent working in Pakistan with refugees from the Soviet-Afghan war.

The rugs tell a wordless tale of Afghanistan 's recent history. Alongside traditional depictions of people and camels, the new rugs incorporate designs of helicopters, rifles and missiles.

Classen, an orthopedic surgeon who practices in Kinston, N .C., has some fairly exotic vacations in his background - such as kayaking in the Grand Canyon- and a love of history.

His desire to go to Pakistan was sparked when a friend mentioned that another local doctor had worked with Afghan refugees through the International Medical Corps, a Seattle-based organization. " If he liked it, it had to be good.

The opportunity presented itself; I jumped on it," Classen said. He first went in 1988 and returned in 1989.

"It's an incredible opportunity. If you want the ultimate liberal arts experience, go there."

From North Carolina, Classen took a plane to New York's Kennedy Airport. From there, he flew to Frankfurt, sat in the airport, flew to Pakistan where he spent the night, then flew on to Peshawar, a city surrounded by Afghan refugee camps. Peshawar is just outside the border of Afghanistan and about six hours from the Afghan capital of Kabul.

Once there, Classen immersed himself in the ancient culture, and rapidly learned the importance of the word lnshal/ah in everyday existence. " No matter what happenslnshallah - God wills, he explained.

"The first time you step off the plane into Pakistan, it's a real shocker. It's hard to put into words.

There's high humidity . .. a certain smell ... dust blowing ... crowds of hundreds of people yelling . ..

"Going down the street in Peshawar, there are horses and cattle and vans and trucks, people riding oxen, people'in horse-drawn carriages, people drivingjapanese cars, people on bicycles . Every day I saw something incredible. " While ip Peshawar, Classen lived in the IMC's double-walled compound on the outskirts of the city.

He had three jobs: operating on both rebel fighters and civilians injured in the conflict; screening patients to determine if they would be flown to hospitals in other nations for treatment; and training men to be medics . After a nine- month training course, the medics returned to their own villages to provide medical care.

"It was said that the chance of someone's dying from a war injury in Afghanistan was higher than that of the wounded during the Civil War in the United States," Classen said. "The Russians have com-

pletely bombed all medical facilities, driven off all the doctors -so essentially most of Afghanistan is without any medicine. The main thrust of the International Medical Corps is to try to restore some sort of medicine by training these medics." So far, the medic training program has been "very successful," according to Classen.

As Classen worked and explored, he was guided by a Pakistani doctor who was his interpreter and friend.

"He constantly tutored me in religion, geography, politics and the history of the area. He drove me up into the mountain passes and introduced me to people. It was a trip in a million. That's not an exaggeration. I was lucky; a lot of the doctors

do.n't have that kind of experience.

"These are a really hardy people living in a mountainous region," he said. "The death rate by age five is one in three or one in five. They just keep enduring.

"They're so isolated and transportation is difficult. A strong central government has never been in place and there 's no education. After food, the Afghans I talked to want education."

During his stay, Classen visited hospitals loosely controlled by various Afghan political factions . In the city, makeshift hospitals were housed in old mansions. In the country, clinics were build in caves.

He gave advice and helped run surgery. "The facilities were extremely primitive because of the lack of any modern equipment ... You can't do everything you were trained to do; you don't have the equipment.

You do what you can do. You use common sense."

Classen wasn't a neophyte at providing medical care for casualties of war. During the Vietnam War, he had worked as an Army physician treating secondary casualties at Fort Meade from 1971 to 1975. "The patients were grateful and got better. I don't like people getting hurt - but it's rewarding to be able to help

THIS AFGHAN girl, at left, lives in a refugee camp at Peshawar. Below, a medic examines an Afghan child .

As the guest of wealthy physicians, Classen also experienced the luxurious side of living. "They roll out a linoleum and put piles of food on it. You sit on the floor crosslegged and eat. They put out huge spreads, more than you could possibly eat.'' He was fed lots of shish kebab, but his favorite dish was a mixture of rice, raisins, orange peel and pine nuts.

"At one dinner, I was the guest of honor. They put a chicken down in front of me and I didn't know what to do. An Afghan doctor who'd been in the U .S. leaned over and said to me: 'Just pick it up. A chicken here is the same as a chicken around the world.' " Classen said he was nervous the time he wound up admidst the gunfire of "a little local war" between

them. " He's now a lieutenant colonel in the Army's inactive reserves . " Most Americans would die over there ... It's not for everybody," Classen said. ''I'm a very adaptable person. You have to be very flexible .

I dress like them and try to adapt to their ways; that's the only way."

In Peshawar, a canal that flows from the mountains is an integral part of daily life. "They use it for everything: bathing, defecating, washing vehicles," he said. It contributes to the spread of infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis, malaria and in-

fections of the bone. These diseases are rampant but treatments available are minimal, he said.

"Everyone in the United States should go over there and then they'll know who's poor," Classen said. " It gives you a different perspective on what poverty is and how people deal with it. You get to be part of it."

Though Classen was allowed to treat Afghan women, he was not allowed to socialize with the opposite sex. Even when he dined at the homes of Afghan friends, he never glimpsed the women who had prepared the meal; it was served by the men of the family.

Pakistani Sunis and Shiites. And, he was alarmed when the American consulate received a threatening letter saying: " We know where you are. We're going to blow you up with mines." "They read that letter to us at lunch," Classen said . "We drove in to town and went shopping. Nothing ever came of it . ..

They blew up a bomb in front of the consulate."

IMC's work didn't end when the Soviets withdrew troops from Afghanistan in 1989; they continue to establish medical care for the country's rural villagers.

"I plan to go back in May," said Classen. " lnshallah."

Their father, a wiry man with a long, graying beard, sits at the end of the sofa and looks at his children.

"I think we would have lost Alvin, too, if it hadn't been for Dr. Morton," he says . "I wish he had come 12 years sooner."

Paying the Bill The toll of glutaric aciduria on Amish family life is profound.

Many whose children are stricken have had to hire drivers to make 50 or more trips to hospitals in Philadelphia and elsewhere. With disabled children needing constant care, the farm and household become harder to manage. Medical bills wipe out savings and often force the sale ofland that has been in the family for two centuries.

Four days after Amos Miller's youngest son, Alvin, became paralyzed from the disease, he sold his dairy herd . There simply weren't enough able-bodied family members to manage the milking operation anymore. Elmer, the Millers' eldest son, doesn't have glutaric aciduria, but his severe asthma and allergy to hay prevent him from heavy work in the barn.

"You could see Alvin was going to be a farmer someday," Mr. Miller says. "As an infant, he used to crawl all the way from the house out to the barn to see what we were doing. But now? Well, now I'm working as a carpenter."

Mr. Miller's wife also is drained by what the disease has done to the family. In her diary, she writes about how she felt after learning that a third son, Steve, had the disease: "For a while, life was a dark, dull ache and the future looked so mountainous that I wondered if God had forgotten us."

Death on the Road Her diary also describes the cold February day they drove the family's horse-drawn carriage to the home of Mr. Miller's parents for Sunday dinner and the second son, Sylvan, died on the way: "Going through Bartville, I looked back and Sylvan was kicking a little and was covered. Half a mile farther on, Amos looked back and thought Sylvan is laying too flat and hard against Levi. He stopped the horse, for he thought it looks like something is wrong with Sylvan.

He picked Sylvan up and said, 'He seems lifeless.' I quick handed baby Steve to Elmer and tried to find a pulse in Sylvan but my hands were shaking, so I couldn't. So I tried to give mouth-to-mouth respiration.

There was no response whatsoever."

Danny Lapp, another Amish patient of Dr. Morton, will be seven years old in October. He is a cheerful, bright child, but he is mute and totally disabled. He was well until 14 months of age, when he suffered a severe bout of diarrhea and became paralyzed. Dr. Morton last year made the diagnosis of glutaric aciduria, after the family had piled up medical bills of more than $70,000.

"The people at the hospital told me to just take him home and love him, there was nothing they could do," recalls Danny's mother, Ida. "But here he is . I don't know what we would have done without the smile."

Constant Threats

Now Danny spends much ofhis day strapped into a wheelchair, his feet flailing. He has learned to move his big brown eyes up or down to communicate yes or no. He has difficulty swallowing. Dr. Morton says pneumonia and malnutrition are constant threats to Danny's health.

"Once a certain amount of damage is done, you just don't get a whole lot back," he says. " An electric wheelchair, braces, surgeries, medications, physical therapy , special education and the devoted care by his family may make his life better, or more bearable, but all of this is a poor substitute for screening and preventive care."

Dr. Morton is pushing hard to get such screening and prevention started. For the past year, he has spent about 36 hours a week in Baltimore at the Kennedy Institute at Johns Hopkins , doing laboratory analysis of urine specimens and data he has collected from hundreds of Amish and Mennonite children.

(Many Mennonites, Anabaptists who are less cloistered than the Amish, suffer from maple syrup urine disease, another inherited disorder that is detectable in newborns and that can be fatal within days.)

Regimen for Patients The Amish children he has identified with high genetic risk have been put on a protein-restricted diet sup-

plemented by the vitamin riboflavin. During any illness, Dr. Morton says, it is vital to prevent dehydration and buildup of toxic acid, so the children consume plenty of fluids and bicarbonate of soda.

A Harvard Medical School graduate who is married and has three children, Dr. Morton pays his household bills by working many nights in the newborn intensive-care unit at Bryn Mawr Hospital near his home in the Philadelphia suburbs.

But at least once a week, after being on duty all night at the hospital, he drives his white Honda out to the Amish farmlands for a day-long round ofhouse calls. He hasn't presented any bills for his services.

"Holmes has an extremely deep feeling about doing good for people, " explains Harvey Levy, a neurologist who directs newborn screening at Massachusetts General Hospital and who helped supervise Dr. Morton's residency at Children 's Hospital in Boston a few years ago. "He was considered by all of us to be one of the top residents we have ever seen. His ability to synthesize everything and make a diagnosis was superb - astounding . some cases. " 1n Confident that glutaric aciduria is treatable, Dr. Morton wants to start a clinic in the county. It would treat Amish children who already have the disease, as well as Mennonites with maple syrup urine disease. It also would screen and evaluate other children so they might be spared the same suffering.

Solitary Struggle So far, the clinic project has been a solitary and frustrating struggle.

Although he was a finalist in competition earlier this year for a research grant from the National Institutes of Health, that organization and others have turned down his funding requests . One reason is that basic studies of the molecular biology of diseases get much higher funding priority than research about the effects and treatment of biochemical disturbances . Moreover, big university hospitals are reluctant to take on clinical research involving longterm patient care for groups like the Amish who lack conventional medical insurance.

Since this article appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Holmes Morton '79 has received a gratifyit1g response of gifts of money and equipment from readers. As of early November, 225 readers from 37 states had sent contributions to the Clinic for Special Children, Inc., the non-profit corporation established by Morton to manage the project.

Two individuals sent checks for $100,000.

Hewlett-Packard Co. donated a gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer valued at about $82,000, which will enable Morton to screen blood and urine samples of newborns, make early diagnoses and assess the e.ffecti veness of therapies. A lumberyard owner in Maryland pledged to supply all of the materials required for construction ofthe clinic building. An architect will donate his time to help design the facility, which will feature the same post-and-beam construction used in Amish and Mennonite barns.

Lancaster Get~eral Hospital is donating office space at a health center located near

Morton's patients, where he can use the mass spectrometer until the clinic is built.

Morton says the contributions resulting from the article are "a good start, a wonderfol start, and one I had never counted on ." However, he says, there is still much work to be done to make the clinic self-supporting. What he has received is about one-fourth of what the clinic will need for a three-year operating budget. He will be seeking support from charitable foundations and the Amish a11d Mennonite communities. Although approached by television news programs, including "60 Minutes" atJd "20/20," as well as Life magazine, Morton has declined interviews with them to protect the privacy ofhis clients.

A graduate of Trinity through the College's Individualized Degree Program, Morton is modest about his work and disinclined toward accepting heroic status. "I've really gone into an area of medicine where services are just not that available," he says. "I've tried to come up with a primary care system for chron-

ically ill children. This is not a huge population - about 4,000 children, only about 15 births a week . There are a lot of unique problems - an almost entirely uninsured population, for instatJce. But, the problems are approachable and diagnosable. On the scale that I've tried to do it, it's a manageable pro} ect. I ftlt that given the time and support, I could do something about it."

Morton's journey to his career in medicine is a fascinating one. When he entered Trinity in the fall of1975, medical school was just "an interesting possibility. " He enrolled in the IDP after serving two stints in the Merchant Marine and four years in the Navy. He had dropped out of high school, finishing his equivalency requirements while in the service. During this time, he developed interests in neurology and cognition that he wanted to pursue. Through the IDP, which o.ffers self-paced learning for older ' undergraduates, Morton could focus on these areas. After about 1 V'2 years of independent study, he began to take bioi-

ogy courses to give him the background he needed in neurophysiology. Becoming a biology major, he completed the requirements for medical school. His undergraduate career was stellar: he was named a President's Fellow, elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and graduated with honors in biology and psychology.

"There's no question in my mind that the most important science education I had was at Trinity," he says. "The way I think about science problems, even how science problems overlap with social problems: my orientation and response come from Trinity, from studying with professors like Bill Mace, Henry DePhillips and Frank Kirkpatrick."

Morton will be speaking at the College on February 8, in lectures for biology majors and for a general audience.

For the science majors, his talk will focus on the biochemical basis ofsudden death in youngsters and the current medical thinking on this family ofdisorders. His public lectUTe will focus on glutaric aciduria as a disease: its unique problems, including in health care delivery, and implications for health care systems.

For those interested in the clinic, the address is: The Clinic for Special Children, Inc., 624 Brookside Avenue, St. Davids, PA, 19087.

Because his grant requests were turned down, Dr. Morton is applying to local banks for a second mortgage on his home to raise funds for the clinic. He says the only expensive piece of equipment he needs for the clinic is a mass spectrometer made by Hewlett-Packard Co. that can detect glutaric aciduria in urine samples. It costs about $80,000.

Dr. Morton figures he could cover his operating costs by charging the Amish about $20 a sample for urine screening. The going rate for this kind of analysis at big hospitals like Johns Hopkins is about $350 to $400 a sample.

fast. Two of ours were taking a nap.

When they woke up, they were helpless."

Implications Sink In She remembers the day Dr. Morton first told her about the disease. " I shook when he told me," she says. "Finally, after 12 years, we got a diagnosis. I just never thought we would get one. He told us, 'I believe your babies were all normal when they were born.' Then it sank in what this could mean for the future.

I mean the future of all the children, not just our children. It was a day I will never forget. I cannot keep quiet about this. It is too important."

Dr. Morton, who grew up in a small town in West Virginia, says he pours his energy into the project because he sees a need for better health-care delivery in rural areas.

"You will never be able to take care of these kids without home visits," he says. "That's just part of the culture. I hope this project might teach us something about how to organize this kind of care."

Experts familiar with Dr. Morton's effort say his plan for a clinic is a worthy idea, but they see risks, including some to Dr. Morton's own career. "He is doing something that could be at the cutting edge for developing a model for rural-care delivery," says Massachusetts General's Dr. Levy. "But when you make a move like this, your academic and scientific career is jeopardized. It becomes very difficult to get grants, you lose access to the sophisticated laboratories, you sever academic relationships. Holmes will be, at best, on the very outer circle."

That prospect doesn't seem to bother him. Heading home after a visit to the Lapps and the Millers, Dr. Morton talks about his personal motivation. "When you get out there and see those kids and see those families, that is the force that drives you," he says. "I think it's a real privilege to be able to come out here and do this. Ifl could figure out a way to do it for nothing, I would do it."

Community's Support The Amish and Mennonite communities are eager to do their part for the clinic project. Some families have offered to donate land for the site. Several Amish carpenters, including Mr. Miller and his eldest son, have volunteered to build the facility if Dr. Morton can furnish the lumber and materials. Still others promise to contribute their time answering phones and filing paper work.

"This kind of opportunity doesn't come along that often," Dr. Morton says. "Somehow this clinic has to get started. I am impatient enough to make it happen. If I wait too long, I will lose some of the confidence of the Amish community. I just hope I don't go bankrupt."

The families he is helping share that hope. "The Amish are so thankful for Dr. Morton," says Grace Supplee, a home-service nurse in Lancaster County who has worked with disabled Amish patients for about nine years. " H e comes to their homes in the middle of the night if they call. I remember one time he drove a very sick girl to Du Pont Hospital in Delaware and stayed with her. Most doctors would never do something like that."

The help Dr. Morton has given Susan Miller and her family has persuaded her to take action. Sitting in her kitchen, she tells him that more Amish families need information about how to respond to the disease.

Football (7-1) That the Bantam gridders fmished with another winning season (7-1) should come as little surprise; Head Coach Don Miller has built a program which has been one of the most consistent of the 1980s. But this year's team was something special, forging its way into the record books and showing resolve after an early-season setback, to finish the first decade in school history without a losing football season.

The Bantams came into the season with the goal of going undefeated, an accomplishment not achieved since 1955. The team opened with a thorough 30-0 drubbing of Colby, a highly-touted team which went on to finish 4-4 and claim the C-B-B title. The Bantams defense held Colby to six ftrSt downs and 90 total yards on the day in recording its first of two shutouts on the year. Meanwhile the offense was in high gear, as the combination of quarterback Todd Levine '90 and split end Terry McNamara '90 began to get in sync for what would be a spectacular year for both.

The Bantams then traveled to Brunswick for a showdown with Bowdoin, which had tied Trinity the year before. The game was one of the wildest shootouts in school history, with Trinity prevailing, 39-38 in the closing moments. The contest featured 77 points, 43 first downs, and 869 yards of total offense. Levine had a spectacular day, completing 24 of 46 passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns. The last of those was to Joe Brockmire '92 with 1:32 left in the game, bringing Trinity to within 38-37. Miller elected to go for the two-point conversion and the win, and sophomore fullback Kevin RisCassi's option pass to McNamara worked to perfection for the winning points.

Next came the showdown at undefeated Williams, which had gone 6-1-1 and claimed the NESCAC title the year before. Williams boasted a powerful defense, but Trinity jumped out to an early 14-0 lead with the help of a key blocked punt

by Mike Vandall '90. Trinity took that h:ad into the locker room, but in the third quarter the momentum shifted to the hosts. A blocked punt

of their own resulted in one score, and a short touchdown pass after an interception tied the score at 14-14 early in the fourth quarter. Trinity responded with a 61-yard touchdown drive capped by a three-yard flip from Levine to Steve Redgate '91, and TimJensen '90 added the point after for a 21-14 ad vantage.

The Trinity defense forced quick punts after the next two Williams possessions, but Ephs' quarterback Dan Dwyer managed to scramble his team to a score with 58 seconds remaining, and it looked like the Bantams would have their second game in as many weeks decided on a late two-point conversion. The Ephs swept to the left side and appeared to have the angle, but end Jeff Buzzi '90 and cornerback Rob Conklin '91 made a great saving tackle to preserve the lead. Williams ' obvious onsides kick was the only obstacle to victory, and it wasn't to be. The Ephs somehow recovered the kick, and a stunned Trinity defense watched as Dwyer coolly marched the Ephs downfield and hit tight end Matt Moynahan with a 30yard bomb with 13 seconds left, and

That game was just as tight as the Tufts game, as Thayer's goal early in the second half was matched by Conn's Ann Carberry, and the overtimes again failed to produce a goal.

Bolk stopped two of the Camels' five attempts, while the Lady Bants had connected on three of four.

Chris Lindsay '91 stepped up for the clinching kick and iced it, sending the ecstatic Bantams into the finals.

The opponent would be, appropriately, the Bowdoin Polar Bears, who had beaten Trinity on opening day .

Bolk was again magnificent in the net, stopping 18 shots on the way to her fourth shutout of the year.

The loss of Murphy, Cavanaugh, backs Peter Denious and Nick Formisano and supersub Dan Weisbach will be felt, but Head Coach Robie Shults will have a strong core of veterans returning with the experience of a near-playoff season under their belts.

Field Hockey (7-5) Coach Robin Sheppard recorded her 14th consecutive winning season at the helm of the women's field hockey team, an impressive feat considering the youth of this year's squad. Several key players were lost for various reasons at the start of the year, and the team had to make do with many younger players in the lineup .

Things started wonderfully for the Lady Bants, as they upset Bowdoin at home, 1-0 to start the year on a goal by co-captain Robin Silver '90. In that game, superb goalie Louise van der Does '91 made an heroic save on a direct penalty stroke with just 35 seconds left in the game. Things continued to go well in the second game, a 2-1 overtime win at Southern Connecticut. Although playing under the lights and on artificial turf for the first time, the Lady Bantams showed composure and guts at the end of the game.

After Silver had given the team a 1-0 lead in the first half, the Lady Bants fought off numerous charges and held on until the last minute of play, when Southern notched a score on a breakaway to tie it, 1-1.

In the second overtime, forward Sarah Hammond '93 cleaned up a rebound and deposited it in the net for the emotional 2-1 win.

A crazy 5-4 loss at Tufts set the team back a peg, but it responded with three straight wins over Western Connecticut (4-0), Mt. Holyoke (4-2) and Amherst (2-1). A debilitating 5-0 Parents' Day loss to Williams started a three game skid, but the team bounced back again, taking two of the last three and finishing on a positive note with a 1-0 victory at Wesleyan.

Silver (7 goals, 5 assists) and Hammond (7-2-9) were the big guns on offense for the Lady Bantams, while van der Does (2.06 GAA, .861 save%), link Mary Beth Madarasz '90 and back Sarah Crissman '90 steadied the defense. Hammond and several other freshmen, as well as a strong group of upperclassmen, will give Sheppard something to build around next season, as she guns for her 15th straight wmrung season.

Women's Tennis (7-4)

36

The Trinity College women's tennis team finished the season in spectacular fashion, capturing its last six matches of the year to re-establish itself as one of the top teams in New England. That status was reinforced at the annual New England Championships, where the Lady Bantams placed fifth out of22 teams.

Head Coach Wendy Bartlett entered her sixth year having suffered consecutive 3-8 seasons with young, inexperienced squads. This year promised to be different, however, as the entire team returned along with several talented newcomers .

Things started slowly, as the Lady Bantams got off to a 1-4 start, which included three losses by scores of S-4. T he biggest problem was doubles ; Trinity had a 3- 9 doubles record in those four losses, and lost all four during doubles play.

Bartlett focused on doubles in practice, and her units began to gel. The excellent play of the three doubles teams was the major difference in the second half of the season, as the pairs rolled to a 16-2 record down the stretch to spark the six-match winning streak.

The Lady Bants played solid singles as well. Bo Hewitt '93 stepped right in to the #1 spot and did a fine job, finishing with a 5-6 mark against the top players in N ew England. Heather Watkins '91 spent most of the year at # 2, and finis hed with a 6-5 record. The solid play of Hewitt and Watkins allowed the middle of the lineup to flourish, and this is where Trinity used its depth to overpower its opponents .

When junior co-captain Anne Nicholson was lost for the season after the second match with a back injury, the rest of the squad took up the slack. Laura Hubbard '93 moved from # 6 to # 3 and had a remarkable season, finishing at 8-3. Former # 1 players Maria Nevares (8-3) and

Courtney Geelan (8-3) gave Trinity a solid 1-2 punch at the #4 and #5 spots, and co-captain Christine Laraway '90 (5-l) and Catherine Macauley '90 (3-0) filled in wonderfully at #6.

The doubles teams of Hewitt and Watkins (8-2), Nevares and Hubbard (4-5) and Geelan and Macauley (7-3) took a while to get going, but once they did, the team rolled . Hubbard and Nevares finished especially strong, as both made it to the finals at the New Englands in singles, and then teamed to make another trip to the finals in doubles. Their fine play sparked Trinity to a fifth-place finish, behind only Tufts, Williams, Amherst and Brandeis (by one point). Trinity beat Williams and lost to Tufts and Amherst by S-4 scores during its doubles doldrums during the regular season.

Cross Country Both the men's (11-9) and women's (14-4) cross country teams finished with winning records under first year coach Dave Barry, and are building on a strong nucleus for the future.

Both teams started at the Vassar Invitational, where the men came in second of nine teams and the women were first of eight. The women placed three runners in the top five: Candace Mulready '90, Carrie Pike '93 and Claire Summers '92. For the men, team leader Mike Joyce '90 (seventh), Mike Fagan '90 (11th) and co-captain Bruce Corbett '90 (16th) led the Bantams to a 7-1 mark in the opener.

The next week at the Amherst Invitational, the women ran their best meet of the year, downing four teams to take the title. Pike and Mulready finished 1-2 in the race, as the Lady Bantams improved their record to 11-0. The men finished third of four teams, falling to strong squads from Amherst and Westfield State. A quad-meet at Williams yielded the women a second-place fmish, while the men again took third in the final tuneup before the NESCACs. Both teams, beset by injury, fared worse than hoped at the league meet, as each finished in 1Oth place.

A loss to W . P. I., a third-place finish in a five-way meet and a loss to Wesleyan left the men at 11-9, while the women closed in similar fashion to finish at 14-4.

In the New England Championships which concluded the season, the men placed 24th of 31 teams, with Joyce again leading the way with a time of27:52. Pike was the top woman for the Bantams, capturing 20th place to lead Trinity to 21st place out of27 teams.

Volleyball (10 -1 2) Candace Mulready '90 was one of the key members of Trinity's 14-4 women's cross country team under first-year coach Dave Barry '85.

The women's volleyball team was on a roller-coaster ride all season long, battling a lack of depth and ex-

perience and showing flashes ofbrilliance. Led by senior co-captains Beth Clifford and Emily Knack and outside hitter Gracie Russell '91, the Lady Bantams showed at times that they belonged among the best in New England.

The Lady Bantams started with a split at home, dropping a twogamer to Williams and scrapping for a 2-1 win over Clark, taking the last game, 16-14. A thorough drubbing at the hands ofWesleyan was discouraging, but the Lady Bants would get a chance at revenge later in the season on their home court. A tight three-set win over Connecticut College got the Bants back to . 500, but consecutive losses to Smith and Amherst dropped them back. At the Connecticut College tournament, the Lady Bants trounced Albertus Magnus but lost a tough 15-13, 5-15, 13-15 decision to the Camels in the finals.

A 3-0 win over Albertus Magnus (including a 15-0 whitewash) and a split with Tufts and Mt. Holyoke left the Lady Bants hovering around .500. They finally broke through with consecutive wins over Manhattanville and Albany State in the Vassar Tourney, but fell back with defeats to St. Thomas Aquinas and Keuka.

A big home meet against Coast Guard and Wesleyan would prove to be the highlight of the season, as the Lady Bantams had all the parts clicking as they defeated their two keen in-state rivals. Trinity first took on Coast Guard, and rode the steady setting ofKnack and Russell's powerful kills to a 15-13, 15-10 victory. In the nightcap, the Bantams took a tight 15-12 victory in the first game from the highly ranked Cardinals. The second game saw Wesleyanjump out to a 6-1 lead, but Trinity stormed back and took control of the match, winning 15-12 to finish the night, 2-0, without losing a single game.

A 1-3 effort at the Williams invitational and a straight-set loss to Quinnipiac ended the season, but the memories of the stirring win over Wesleyan are what lingers. The loss of two co-captains hurts, but coaches Stan Ogrodnik and Kirk Peters will have Russell and a group of solid veterans returning next season.

YEARBOOK pictures and a letter trace Bent's history with Trinity.

BENT'S COLLEGE MEMORIE S GO BACK 75 YEARS

39

ven though it's been three-quarters of a century since Ralph H. E Bent '15 graduated from Trinity, his interest in the College's goings-on has not waned.

"I am now 95 years old and in good health and enjoying life . . . As far as I know, I am the oldest remaining member of my class," Bent wrote to the alumni office last November. His letter was inspired by a Trinity Reporter article describing Reunion '89. "I would like to add that I had attended all alumni reunions for 55 years. I also attended TrinityWesleyan football games held at Trinity," noted Trinity's oldest alumnus, who lives in Delray Beach, Fla. Named "permanent secretary of the Class of 1915," Bent has remained ever faithful to that role. His file in the alumni office is thick with correspondence from the past 75 years. Some of his missives recorded changes in his life or offered news about his classmates. Bent was more than the class scribe: over the years,

he worked on reunion committees and served on the Board of Fellows.

Born Aug. 3, 1894 in New York City, Bent entered Trinity in 1911.

As a student, he played on the baseball squad and was a cheerleader. He sang in the Glee Club and the College Choir, and was a member of the Mandolin Club. He joined the Alpha Chi Rho fraternity . In his yearbook, he was designated "class prophet."

After graduation, Bent remained in Hartford and worked in the insurance field while studying for his M.A. at Trinity, which he earned in 1917.

A 1985 Trinity Reporter article about the restoration of Seabury 9-17, formerly the College Chapel, triggered another special memory for Bent, who had lived in Seabury as a student. "On June 17, 1918, Flora Kendall and I were married on Commencement day by President Luther at 9 a.m. Although it was to be a quiet affair, Dr. Luther gave out the news and the old chapel was filled - all men. He had looked into the

matter and told us there was no record of any other marriage having been performed on the campus," Bent recalled in a letter to the alumni magazine. The couple's marriage lasted for more than four decades until Flora's death in 1959.

In 1917, Bent began路 teaching at Mohegan Lake School in New York; this launched his 43-year career as an educator. He served as the first president of the Admissions Officers Association of Eastern Private Boarding Schools and, for 17 years, was dean of admissions at Riverdale Country School in New York.

During Bent's time at Riverdale, he once typed a friendly correction to Trinity's alumni office: "Please note that for some time now your office has been addressing me at the Riverdale Country Club School. There may be an aspect of truth in this, but we are keeping it secret at the present time. As ever thine, Ralph H . Bent."

In 1959, Bent retired from Riverdale Country School and, in 1965, he moved to Florida.

Uur beloved DOC LUKE CELENTANO passed away Sept. 1 (see In Memory) . YOUR SECRETARY first heard of it while watching a Yankee game on TV that day. The sportscasters of that game were discussing the death of Baseball Commissioner and former Yale President Bart Giamatti, which occurred that very day, when one of them also noted the passing of another great lover of baseball, Doctor Luca Celentano. Luke was highly regarded in his profession, a generous philanthropist and advocate of proper education for children. For a splendid resume on Luke's accomplishments, please refer to page 45 of the 1989 summer issue of the Trinity Reporter.

06109 When YOUR SECRETARY wrote his Class notes for the autumn issue of the Reporter last July, the main topic was what kind of a football team would Coach Don Miller be able to put together for the 1989 season. At this point, mid-season, the answer is good!

As a matter of fact, the only disappointment to date is that WRTC (89.3) was unable to cover the first two games. However it was on the air for the Williams and Hamilton games and most probably will be able to complete the season. For us stay-at-homes it is really great fun to tune in and e[\joy the play-by-play sportcast. A mid-season record of 3-1 is certainly evidence of another good club representing the Blue and Gold, especially when one takes into consideration that the Williams "W" was accomplished with but 13 seconds remaining in the game!

Four more to go with Amherst looming as a real toughie ahead.

Had a real nice get together with ANDY FORRESTER and his Annabelle recently, and am happy to report that both seemed to be fine.

No word or news from other classmates but you can bet that anything you send in will be thankfully received and passed on to the few remaining classmates.

A wonderful letter from our salutatorian NATE GLASSMAN who, you may remember, was hoisted up the campus tree on St. Patrick's Day Massacre. He and Daye now live in South Florida, often traveling to Jacksonville to see their only granddaughter, a future Miss America. Another first for them is the recent marriage of their 46-year-old son.

YOUR SECRETARY and Lil will attempt a mini-reunion with the Glassmans and any other Trinity grads in the area this winter. At this writing the gorgeous colors on campus match anything tbe Mohawk Trail, with its brilliant hues, can present.

Your classmates would appreciate any news you can send.

Class Agent: Nathaniel B. Abbott

Charles A. Tucker, M.D. 7 Wintergreen Ln. West Han£ord, Conn.

06II7 Phyllis Mason will be in Captiva, Fla. for a good part of the winter where shelling (of which she is the local authority) is a top priority among many other pursuits.

ANDY ONDERDONK had a mild heart attack; we are pleased to report that he is doing well and is back at his job of treasurer of Trinity Church in Hartford along with many other volunteer duties. We hope that he slows down a bit, but he probably will not.

The BRYANT GREENs in Vera Beach were worried about Hurricane Hugo but were spared any damage.

BILL HARING had a closer call and Hilton Head was. evacuated. He says that he had a terrible feeling when he left his house with the thought that he might never see it standing again but Hilton Head was spared and damage that occurred was from winds that were not much greater than the more usual coastal storms. He had lunch recently with his daughter-in-law, Judy (husband JON '64 is also Trinity), ED CRAlG, and his wife, Jane, in Kenosha.

If you do not know where that is, it proves that the geography education in this country is not of the highest caliber as has been reported elsewhere.

JOHN KELLY is still having some trouble with ear noises which limits his activity somewhat.

Ruthie and I visited a daughter and her family in Aberdeen, Scotland this

spring and our other three daughters visited us in West Hartford at one time or another this summer. We are now up to seven grandchildren. We also attended the inauguration of our new Trin president, Tom Gerety. It was a most impressive ceremony and we were highly pleased with him. Trinity is in good hands, but we will also miss JIM ENGLISH H '89. We still play golf if that is what you might cali it. I am just finishing a stint on the governing board of the Hartford Golf Club.

That is the Class news as I know it.

What I need is more items from you that you can share with your classmates. They are interested so please send some along.

A note from ART HAZENBUSH reported that he and Mary took a trip across Canada by train - then toured Alaska on a cruise. They will spend the winter in Florida again.

The EIGENBAUERs took a trip to Austria this past summer and his detailed account is not in yet.

After four hospitalizations extending into June, my health problems have been solved. Helen and I spent two weeks in New Hampshire in August and just returned from a week in South Carolina visiting Brother LEW '38 and Ruth.

Robert M. Christensen 66 Centerwood Rd. Newington, CT 06111 SHERRY RAYMOND, only a one-year member of the Class, has asked for help in keeping his directory of the Class of '36 up to date. Sherry has a very active interest in Trinity and the best list of our alumni that I know of. I could not help him, but you might. If you do encounter or have encountered a Class member, send me a note about the meeting and anything you might have heard that will give us current information: family, address, how the encounter came about, etc.

Sherry, who sees the MOREs occasionally, mentioned that they had spent four months in Florida and also made a trip to Williamsburg. BERT has been feeling fairly well of late, as the travels would suggest.

The Raymonds expected to be in Maine in October and planned to see JACK and lnga HANNA in Portland. I rather expect that Sherry and Jack will try to think of a way to stimulate you Class members to tell us of yourselves and otherwise show your interest in Trin and the Class. Sherry has been seeing two former members of the Trinity staff at the weekly meetings of the Orleans Coffee Club: Ted Mauch, professor of religion, and Gardiner Bridge, admissions officer. He also mentioned the annual Trinity outing at Phyllis Mason's home, which was attended by about 25 alumni.

Sherry, himself, is in fund raising right there, being chairman of the library fund drive which seeks $250,000 for a new addition. He is still on the board of trustees of the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, and chairman of the personnel committee; but he is starting to relieve himself of some volunteer jobs: the board of the Uf\ited Way and the finance committee of the Elder Services of Cape Cod and the Islands. Every town should have as industrious a citizen as that.

When I wrote JACK HANNA that I am slowed down by a recent herniotomy - like yard work, house maintenance, walking, swimming at the Y he replied that he has to pop antacid tablets at times, but is happy to live with that and still be able to e[\joy jogging, skiing, and figure skating. I guess he has more fun than most. To quote him, "Still laboring in tbe vineyards of love after more than 40 years as an English professor - now 'emeritus' and part-time. It must be in the blood."

I just know that some of you fellows are doing interesting things. Won't you let me know about them so that I can tell our classmates.

06109 l:IILL HULL received a letter from JIM DONOHUE's daughter, Irene Jurczyk, notifying him of Jim's death on Aug. 20 (see In Memory). Jim suffered from congestive heart failure. He was a great lover of jazz. So much so, that a recording of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" was played at his funeral mass. I can remember that Jim was always ready to impart his humor at all times.

Bill Hull remains busy as secretary of his cooperative at Siesta Key, Fla. He and Ruth are still square dancing and will be dancing in Jacksonville in midOctober. He will try to contact CARL LINDELL. FRED CALDERWOOD, Madison, Conn. died Sept. 13 (see In Memory).

He is survived by his wife, Carol, a son, David, of Dumfries, Va., and a daughter, Faith Amoroso, of Randolph, NJ. Fred had retired in 1978 as a second vice president from Connecticut General Life Insurance Co. where he had been employed for over 40 years. Our sympathy is extended to his family.

G. Robert Schreck 328 Round Cove Rd. Chatham, Mass. 02633 Thirty-two members of the Class returned to Hartford last June to celebrate our 50th Reunion. We were particularly pleased to have Shirley Yates, widow of BILL YATES, and their son join us. It was a great occasion and we are all scheduling and looking forward to our 55th.

The inauguration of new president,

Tom Gerety, was a great and memorable event at Trin which at least three Class members and their ladies attended, namely Class President JACK WILCOX and Helen, the ED SMITHs and DICK LEGGE'ITs. The event was so large we may have missed other Class members present and if so, our apology.

In other news, Jack and Helen Wilcox traveled to Hertford, England with a group of Hartford Rotarians (Jack is a very active Rotarian) to celebrate their sister city Hertford's 50th anniversary in the Rotary. Jack and Helen were overnight guests of Hertford Rotarians.

They arranged a tour bus and had a Hungarian driver, nicknamed by them "Atilla the Hun," who provided the commentary and humor for the group.

Also in September, BOB and Carolyn SCHRECK tripped to the Near East via Royal Viking cruise ship to the Black Sea and Mediterranean nations of Greece, Turkey and the Soviet Union.

This was a most el\joyable cultural and historical visit to the ancient ruins of Eurasia dating back to 3000 years B.C. A request to all: now is the time to tell our Class members interesting and important news of YOU. It occurs to me that aside from the usual important personal happenings in your life, the terrible disasters of Hurricane Hugo in the Carolinas and more recently the earthquake in the San Fran area may have affected your lifestyles. In any event, please let us hear from you before our next Trin Reporter goes to press. Contact JERRY HANSEN '51, Jack, Mike, Vic, me or anyone with your news. In the interim, accept our best for a happy winter and holiday season.

The big news, of course, is our upcoming Half-Century Reunion, 14-17 June 1990. WALLY BORIN, chairman of our Reunion Committee, has been busy gathering stalwart classmates willing to serve on his committee and, to date, reports that GUS ANDRlAN, ED BURNHAM, AL VAN DUZER, AL HOPKINS - president, DICK MORRIS- secretary, STEVE RILEYClass agent, LES TIBBALS and CHARLIE WALKER have all agreed to support his efforts. He hopes to add WIL GREENWOOD, WALLIE HOWEvice president, BILL WOLF and DUNCAN YETMAN. Are there any other volunteers?

Wally got off to a good start recently with a meeting of Gus, Steve, himself and JERRY HANSEN '51, the director of alumni and college relations.

Gus and PEGGY (MA. '66) ANDRlAN returned at the end of the summer from a trip to San Francisco, Vancouver and other points west.

Bill Wolf is negotiating with Paideia Press about the publication of his novel about Benedict Arnold.

Dick Morris suffered an il\iury to his right leg in early June and then proceeded to break the same leg on 3 July.

He was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of the summer and is still on crutches. "But," he says, " 'sweet are the uses of adversity,' for I was able to finish the book I was writing."

YOUR SECRETARY attended the inauguration of Tom Gerety as president of Trinity College. Since I didn't see any classmates there I guess I can consider myself the official representative of the Class of 1941, although without the colorful robes worn by other delegates.

One of the first acts of the President was to move his office to the quarters on the first floor of Williams Memorial from whose window Remsen Ogilby (who will always be Trinity's president for our generation) kept in touch with the College world.

My wife and I were at the annual Cape Cod summer picnic, which was held at Phyllis Mason's house in Chatham. Also in attendance were JOE and Rosemary RUSSO. Joe recently retired from the board of directors of Red Cross and Blue Shield. Although no longer in practice, he keeps up with medical literature. He now has five grandchildren. The Russo family now boasts two MBAs, one lawyer and one engineer. They have 12 college degrees among them.

Joe had news about two other classmates. His cousin, JOE LA VIERI, is still busy as chairman of Sterling Engineering Co. and he periodically sees WALT PEDICORD on Walt's journeys between his house in Naples, Fla. and Woodstock, Vt. Walt is retired from his position as vice president for personnel at IBM. I picked up a few items about other classmates from the literature which comes pouring into my mail slot. Aetna publications informed me that DON DAY celebrated his 75th birthday on Aug. 31. (Can this be true? He looks 20 years younger.) And DICK BARNES wrote to Aetna deploring the insurance industry's failure to make its case with the public. He stated that "In my adult life, I have had only two employers Aetna and the U.S. Air Force- and I am still fiercely loyal to both."

The journal of the Connecticut Historical Society lists STAN ENO as a new member.

John R. Barber 4316 Chambers Lake Dr. Lacey, VVash. 98503 I'm grateful to our able and articulate Class Agent CHARLEY JOHNSON who again helps me write the 1942 column with this "bad newsfgood news" letter:

" ... Our Class did not make either its dollar or participation Alumni Fund goals. We raised 12 big ones, with about 60 percent of the Class contributing. Part of it is my fault: I spent most of May in France doing the three Cs: chateaux, cathedrals, and caves (pas de vin, pre-historique!). And if a salesman does not make the calls, he does not write the orders. Wait 'till next year, I tell our guardian angel on the Alumni Fund staff, JULIANA GARRO '86 (and a Phi Beta Kappa!).

In ceremonies on the Fourth of July weekend billed as a 'back-yard bash,' friends and neighbors celebrated my 70ili birthday. One of the friends was MATT BIRMINGHAM, who came with not one but two shopping bags filled with firecrackers, the setting off of which delighted the brats in attendance, less so some of the shellshocked guests. 'BUD' TIBBALS '40 was there. With 'Bud,' me, Matt, and my son WOOLSEY '78, we sang a most melodious 'Neath the MaplÂŁs of our Dear Old Trinity.'"

The threescore and ten age now enjoyed by Charley and many '42ers reminds me that most of us have had to mellow considerably with the ~ears just in order to make it this far! In past reports I've listed several doing church, counseling or other good works. May I thus include the following Limerick* from our Class's unchallenged(?) poet laureate: There was a young fellow from Trinity Who took the square root of infinity.

The number of digits Gave him the fidgets .

He dropped math and took up divinity.

Poet's note: "* Yes, it is 'Limerick' not 'limerick' because the art form is associated (for reasons too arcane to i>et forth here) with the town in Ireland of that name."- CFJ(ohnson) I had a card from the REV. HENRY HAYDEN '39 with a glowing report of his 50th Reunion. Let's all determine now to be on campus in 1992!

I was delighted to have my memory jogged with this letter from RALPH CALECETO: "I wonder if you can remember the last time we met - on the beach at Biarritz, France, 1945 - I have a photo of you posing with my buddy Ed Gilchrist. As for some news - my wife and I (celebrated) our 43rd wedding anniversary on Sept. I - we have four grandsons- ages 15 wonderful months to five years - three with my daughter and one with my son.

"Retirement is furthest from my mind; this September I will begin my twelfth year as assistant principal at New Utrecht High School in Brooklyn.

I also el\joy a bi-monthly poker game and keep active by serving as secretary for Unico, a national service organization. During the summer, I just loaf, go fishing and el\joy my grandsons.

"I certainly would like to attend the 50th in 1992 - I missed the 45th because of personal problems that came up. But will make every effort to attend in 1992 ... " (I've forgotten why Ralph was in Biarritz that autumn day in '45. As for me, I'd stumbled upon a beautiful post-conflict WW2 deal called Biarritz Anterican University. Not yet home and dis-

charged from the USAAF, I briefly "studied" French and Gennan in that international watering place. Must revisit the Cote D'Argent one of these days.)

Speaking of the forties, did you see the recently published photo of President Tom Gerety regaling students from the window of what was Remsen Ogilby's old office? Nostalgic - and brought back memories. My last encounter with "Prexy" was a chance one at the Hartford rail station in 1943 when I was off for my first assignment as a new 2nd lieutenant (following too many months as a private). Prexy was always an opportunist. His final words to me paraphrase out as "I want to see those gold bars turn to silver soon!"

I'm short of 1942 news this time.

Please, fellows, take a hint and write, phone or fax (24 hours). The answering machine generally works, should we be away.

Class Agent: Charles F. Johnson II John L. Bonee, Esq. One State St. Hartford, Conn. 06103 HARRY TAMONEY was the guest of honor at a luncheon given by his brother, TOM '42, attended by many of our fellow alumni, including DON VIERING, BOB NICHOLS and MARTY WOOD of the Class of 1942, ARTHUR FAY and DREW MILLIGAN of the Class of 1945, and YOUR SECRETARY. Harry is a retired Hartford physician and surgeon who specialized in oncology. He lives with his wife, Patty, during the cooler months in Indian River Shores (Vero Beach), Fla., and during warmer months in Highlands, N.C. They have eight children and 13 grandchildren, the most recent of whom was born on Friday the 13th, 1989. Harry looks great and was in fine fettle at the luncheon, regaling one and all with numerous stories relating to his days as an active practitioner both in Connecticut and in Florida.

CARLOS RICHARDSON, our Class agent, writes that he and his wife, Jean, had a great trip to Alaska during August of 1989, stating that they used military "spare-A" up and a cruise ship back.

Carlos continues that he is still flying charters and commuters out of San Diego, and that he became a greatgrandparent for the second time a year ago. Carlos adds that the Class came through with "flying colors" in achieving 212 percent of its $7,500 Alumni Fund goal, raising $15,945. Nice going, fellows. Keep it up.

DICK COBB writes that he is still enjoying a sales representative's life in the plumbing field. Dick adds that a "Boston boy" heads up his company and that TIM HORNE, Class of 1959, is C.E.O. of Watts Reg. Co., his ml\jor line.

Dick closes with the observation that his golf game is getting better with age.

In addition to the aforegoing, Dick mentions with regret the death of his old friend and our classmate, STAN WOODWORTH (see In Memory) , remembering that he was a "heck of a squash player." Dick encloses a clipping concerning Stan from Herb Caen's

But to do so, which I quote, "Shortly before he died he has to learn about your doings of cancer last month, Cate School's rehonors you have received, work you vered Stan Woodworth asked his longare doing, family, travels, etc. Please time friend, Lew Vogler of Belvedere, if write. The Secretary's address is at the he'd deliver the eulogy at his funeral in top of this column.

Your Class officers met Sept. 12 at Trinity College to work on plans, including the Class Gift, for our 50th Class Reunion in 1994. Present were DR. HARRY R. GOSSLING, Class president; H. MARTIN TENNEY, first vice president; DR. ROGER G. CONANT, second vice president; WILUAM R. PEELLE, third vice president; YOUR SECRETARY and ROBERT TOlAND, JR., treasurer.

Also on hand were Larry Duffy, Trinity College's director of development; and JULIANA GARRO '86, the College's assistant director of annual giving.

Bob led a discussion on charitable giving. Harry spoke on the role of a college in an urban environment and what Trinity is doing to contribute to the betterment of the lives of disadvantaged minority people in Hartford.

Update figures show that the Class of 1944 made its annual giving goal of $16,000. Total contributions, including the Class Gift, were $16,481. Final totals also show that our Class, at 74 percent, finished second among the classes of the past 50 years in members participating in the Alumni Fund campaign for 1988-89.

This is not bad at all for a class broken up during World War II and literally scattered to the four winds. Nice going, guys! Incidentally, our Alumni Fund goal for 1989-90, which is not a reunion year for us, is $13,000.

By the time you read this, your Class officers will have met again - Nov. 11 - during Homecoming to continue working on plans for our 50th Class Reunion. We will keep you informed in future Class Notes in the Trinity Reporter and other writings.

Let us hear from you on your ideas for the 50th. Class input is desired and welcome.

JOHN T. FINK has accepted the principal Class agent's position. His assistants will be listed in this and future Class Notes ~they come aboard.

Box 3809 Visalia, Calif. 93278 The great Bay area quake of 1989 hit three days prior to my writing these Class notes. I was talking with a client in Fresno when he put me on hold and took another call. When he returned, he said there had been a major quake in the Bay area, and he had to break away.

Until 11:30 p.m. that evening, I was trying to track down my three children who live in San Francisco. I'm happy to report that all were well, and that there was only minor damage to contents of living quarters.

They're still trying to assess the extent of the damage, but it appears that the original estimates on numbers of persons who died in the collapse of the Cypress overpass on Highway 880 m Oakland were exaggerated. The freeway apparently had very few cars on it compared to normal. Speculation is that just about everyone was eitlier at the World Series, or hunkered down m front of a television set to watch.

BARRIE CLIFF writes from Yarmouth, Mass. where he and his wife, 路Paulette are the sole proprietors of 路Pewter Crafters of Cape Cod. It's a business they started in 1977. It's still very small (five persons), but from the catalog sheet which Barrie enclosed, the products appear to be of extremely high quality (some items are ultra modern while others are more traditional).

Pe~r Grafters sells at both retail and wholesale, as well as direct mail: and there is a fair amount of busmess travel, appearing at craft shows up and down the East Coast.

Pewter Grafters is located at 927 Main St., Yarmouth Port, Mass. 02675, and the telephone is 508-362-3407.

DICK COUDEN stops in once in a while, when he is visiting from Chicago, otherwise Barrie has seen few classmates in recent years. He notes that he is definitely planning on attending our 40th Reunion in 1992.

BOB and Syd BUFFUM forward their usual humorous announcement of the winter opening of the Manasota Beach Club. Last year they said not to beat around the "Bush" . . . Dukalus; and this year they'd be sunk if you didn't visit them. Bob and Syd are pictured sitting in a tiny catboat that has obviously sunk; they're up to their waists in water.

You will be hearing more on the Reunion, but mark your calendar for June 14-16 and let's have the biggest turnout ever.

Headliner Allyn J. Washington '52, author of technical mathematics textbooks for college students, received an award from AddisonWesley Publishing Company to commemorate his 25 years of excellence as a textbook writer.

On Oct. 27, LT. COL. GEORGE RUSTIGIAN retired from the Air Force after 28 years of active service. He has been in the transportation department of the Air Force for the entire time, and has seen military air transportation evolve from the twin engine propeUer plane to the four-engine jumbo jet. He served in four regular overseas assignments: twice to Germany, once to Puerto Rico, once to Viet Nam, and a temporary assignment to the Philippines.

Greetings Classmates! This is my first stab at your Class notes for the gossip column; please bear with me and give me some feedback and ammunition for the next edition by either writing to me directly or through the alumni office or pick up the phone and give me the news in my voice mailbox at 1-800-288-7783 vm box 1218. This latter mode will hopefully encourage those of you who hate to write, giving you a more impulsive way to get the message across. I am sure you can come up with enough fodder or something else to make this section of the Trinity Reporter come alive with the Class of "63. Let us hear from you soon.

After commuting for over 20 months from Boston to my office in Newark, NJ. weekly, I am now e[\joying a much more stable existence commuting now only 25 minutes from Lincoln to my office at Pru Center. This transfer gives me the opportunity to return to a more normal existence. I am now heading up The Prudential's asset management division for its real estate assets in New England and upper New York, a billiondollar portfolio.

Last May the local New York papers carried a notice that ED TRICKETI would be performing in Paramus, N.J. SCOTT REYNOLDS who watc11.es such rags daily for news of Ed to)d VIC KEEN, and they planned to surprise Ed by showing up. The rest of the story is that Scott forgot and Vic's car broke down so no surprise for Ed. DICK GOODEN is no longer commuting from LA. to St. Louis. As reported last issue, he is now with the p.rivate banking division of his long term friend and employer, Citibank. &ott R. had lunch with Dick several weeks back while Dick was back in New York to be "reworked" for this new asignment. As most of you know, Dick's daughter has been an exceptional tennis player for most of her years and is now on the pro circuit. We wish her the best of luck. lf you see her name on the docket if the rounds come near you, please be sure to go spectate and cheer.

YOURS TRULY and my wife, Elizabeth, were meandering around the Burlington Mall outside Boston where, lo and behold, we bumped into Back Bayites Marge and PETER SHERIN. They were on a quest for a birthday present for their son at the Disney Shop. The four of us took advantage of this serendipitous moment and caught up over beer and pizza. Peter is still president of Bell Markets, shortly expanding into some wholesale directions. Their big news is that they will be spending more time in Chatham (on the Cape) where they are now beginning to stock a new second home with furniture.

Even if you are not prone to scour the WSJ daily, by now most of you are aware that JIM TOZER is now doing

something more than looking after his personal investments. When he became president and CEO of Prudential Bache Securities, my roladex for Jim's phone numbers jumped from five to eight The three added after the house in the country are for his limo phone, his private line and his home fax machine.

These are all important for those of us who may want to communicate with Jim from time to time because we may never ever see him again. Zibby are you there?

Vic Keen and Scott Reynolds catalyzed a luncheon on July 27 at the New York Harvard Club for those in our Class who could make it to meet Tom Gerety.

Trying desperately to regain his long, long, very long ago faded youth, Charley climbed on a bicycle without training wheels and promptly flew over the handle bars.

The result was that his face for a time looked like a cross between a fresh road-kill and a discarded Big Mac. His recovery was aided by the news that he and DANA WHITE have been invited to usher in 1990 at a two-week palace party hosted by some fat-cat potentate in the desert of ~asthan , India I'm not making this up!

BILL BURNHAM invited EU KARSON '63 to join him yachting on his 40foot sailboat, meandering around Cape Cod, Nantucket, Block Island and Newport. What a messy trail of beer cans.

August brought a long letter from BOB STEPTO, who reported on finish路 ing his 15th (fifth as full professor of English) at Yale. In addition to his teaching, Bob has contributed to weighty tomes like the Columbia Literary History of the United States, has lectured at Dartmouth and been a visiting fellow at Princeton, and has even written a program essay for a Long Wharf Theater production. And, though he insists (rightly, all we classmates agree) that he's "too young to strike a Mr. Chips pose," our Bob has metamorphosed into a Robert.

Robert has also been a Trinity trustee for the past seven years, and reported on some of his work on a variety of committees, including the standing committees on appointments and promotions and on admissions and financial aid, and adhoc committees including the dean's search committee (leading to the appointment of Jan Cohn) and the new committee addressing the issue of hiring minority faculty.

In fact, Robert came up with the name of the new position, the Ann Plato Fellowship, that will be filled by an advanced minority graduate student in residence. It's named in honor of the 19th-<:entury black Hartford school teacher who published the first book of essays by a black American in 1841.

Robert's letter also contained a glowing endorsement of Trinity's new president, Tom Gerety. I'll quote him: ''Tom is what Trinity needs right through here: He is smart, trilingual, energetic, compassionate, socially

I'm pleased by what I have seen, and reassured by the comments of Yale folk I know who remember him vividly."

And, naturally, there was some family news from Robert, whose last anniversary with wife Michele was their 22nd! Son Gabe is a sophomore at Brown, and son Rafe is a high school freshman "basically trying to get his act(s) together." It was a four-star letter, a veritable model for all you classmates out there - let me hear from you as we head into our last year before The Big Twenty-fifth!

News of DAN DOLL reached me via a Hartford Coumnt article writing up his recent award as Glastonbury High School's ''Teacher of the Year." Dan teaches classes in current issues, international relations and government, and keeps busy after school advising the School's Model United Nations group, the School newspaper, (Common Sense), and the class of 1990. Dan has also been the chief negotiator for the Glastonbury Education Association, helping give voice to teachers' concerns and bargaining for improved contracts.

Dan's been at Glastonbury since 1966, and calls teaching "my life's work and my life's joy." He also said the award, voted by his fellow teachers, was "like the Nobel Prize." He lives in Hebron in a 250-year-old converted barn he bought in 1967.

Mark spoke about a new policy of Watkinson that allows employees to earmark part of their earnings at the beginning of each year for health care or other expenses not included in their insurance plans. Under a federal tax provision, money put into such accounts is not taxed. According to Mark, these "flexible spending accounts" help to attract and retain employees at the private school.

Conducting Keeps Thorn Busy in Three States

s an orchestral and choral conductor, Lenora (Eggers) Thorn '79 has a podium in three states: New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

In addition to directing the 85-member New Jersey Choral Society based in Wyckoff, N.J., Thorn is the music director, conductor and founder of the Riverdale Chamber Orchestra in Bronx, N.Y. Besides that, she's the assistant conductor of the Stamford Symphony in Stamford, Conn.

Previously, Thorn was the choral conductor at William Paterson College in Wayne, N.J. and worked as a pianist and vocal coach for small opera companies. She has been a featured conductor in the New York Choral Society's "Summer Sings" program.

After graduating from Trinity with a bachelor of arts degree in music in 1980, Thorn studied piano and conducting at the Juilliard School and the Pierre Monteux School in Hancock, Maine.

Singing Thorn's praises is another Trinity alumnus - Jerome Wyckoff '31, a member of the New Jersey Choral Society. "Lenora is intensely musica l, knowledgeable, professional," said Wyckoff. "She works us hard, she's always trying for what's better and we love it. At concert time, her enthusiasm lifts everybody, apprehensions are forgotten and we sing better than ever. We think Lenora has a big future."

Wyckoff has his own musical history . He sings bass and writes the concert program notes for the New Jersey Choral Society, of which his wife Elaine is also a member. As an undergraduate, he was a member of the Trinity College Glee Club in its founding year- 1930. Now in his 47th year as a singing member of the Ridgewood Orpheus Club in N ew Jersey, Wyckoff remembers "well, and gratefully, my fLrst yea r in a male chorus " at Trinity.

In Honolulu, when not at the convention, I managed to have a good time with three other Trinity grads who were also at the convention: CARLO FORZANI, RAY MADORIN '68 (current president of the Hartford County Bar Association) and JIM WU '71. In addition, I managed to get a visit with FRANK FASI '42, current mayor of the city and county of Honolulu and formerly of Hartford. Frank was ememely gracious, and I el\ioyed meeting with him on his home turf at the mayor's office.

As with almost every place which one has the privilege of visiting on this earth, Hawaii turned out to be far more culturally diverse, economically vibrant, climatically varied and downright fun than I could have possibly imagined. Unlike the generally sultry air in the lower Connecticut river valley, the trade winds constantly blow away whatever air pollution is created.

Having been formerly turned on to French Caribbean music, it took me a while to calm down and learn to flow with the new rhythms of the Hawaiian beat, but once I did, I really loved it!

By the way, I plan to spend time at Trinity the weekend of Oct. 21 learning how to best approach our 20th Reunion. The College has organized what would appear to be some interesting programs.

JOHN WlLUAM PYE has made a nice gift to our Watkinson Library in honor of our 20th Reunion! He donated a seven-page autographed manuscript

by Edwin Arlington Robinson: his long poem, "John Brown," written between 1916 and 1918 and differing substantially from the published version. John looks forward to attending the Reunion. About a year ago he moved to Brockton, Mass. and he is currently working in Boston at Thomas G. Boss Fine Books on Boylston Street as shop manager and cataloguer. This summer he el\ioyed seeing a number of alumni including AL WOLSKY '71, PETER ANDERSEN '67, JIM AMIS '71 and LEO FARRENKOPF '71 and their families and spouses. John is presently collecting 19th-century photographs of ancient Egypt and plans a lecture at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts on Dec. 13 on that topic.

CHARLES SAGER has certainly embarked upon an adventure since we last heard from him. So many of us have dreamed of a trip to New Zealand (or Australia), but Charlie has really done it! He is presently residing in Auckland, New Zealand, and he spent two years, from September of '85 to October of '87, sailing there from the U.S. He is now manager, investment banking, at NZl Bank in Auckland. He finds the financial world in New Zealand stimulating because it has advanced from being one of the most regulated in the world to one of the most free wi.thin the last four to five years. As far as quality of life is concerned, he does not seem to miss New York City. He finds no commuting problem, the lack of a 12-14 hour business day, a low crime fear level, and fantastic sailing in and out of the Is-

CLAY KANZLER '79 gave a painting titled "Morning Fog" to Trinity College in memory of the late Constance E. Ware, who was vice president for development. From left: Richard H. Ware, her husband; Kanzler; and George E. Chaplin, the Charles S. Nutt Professor of Fine Arts, who taught Kanzler when he was an undergraduate. ural roads in Vermont and mysterious mountains in Hawaii are among the scenes captured in oils by artist Clay Kanzler '79, whose artwork was exhibited in Austin Arts Center this past fall.

Titled "Paintings from 1979-1989, " the exhibition represented the full range of Kanzler's work over the past decade. Included in the exhibition was "Morning Fog," a painting which Kanzler has given to the College in memory of the late Constance E. Ware, who was vice president for development at Trinity .

As an undergraduate, Kanzler was a President's Fellow in studio arts and won the Pappas Award as the most promising senior artist. In 1979, Kanzler settled in Pomfret, Vt., where he works from his studio in a converted barn.

"I wanted to see ifl could make it as a painter," Kanzler said. "I figured, I might as well find out now, because if I can't, I should get a briefcase and go do something else."

Ten years later, Kanzler is still wielding a paintbrush and his work is shown in galleries throughout the East Coast and in the Midwest. His paintings have found homes in many corporate collections, such as the R.J. Reynolds Building Collection and the Gerrish Corporation, as well as in private collections.

Working both in his studio and out-of-doors, Kanzler captures the essence of the Vermont countryside in his oil paintings. His techniques incorporate vibrant colors, transparent mists, and a broad range ofline and form . During the past few years, Kanzler has spent the winter months in the Caribbean, Bermuda and Hawaii, where he worked on combining a warm palette with the effects of changing light and water into his work.

Forty of your classmates attended the festivities which included activities for the family as well as opportunities to share old times with your fellow classmates doing many of the same things that were endearing to us during our tenure at Trinity!

During the Reunion, elections were held for Class officers who will occupy their term until our 20th Reunion in 1994 (gulp!): president, DON HAWLEY; vice president, HARRY HELLER; and secretary, JIM FINKELSTEIN. Many thanks to those of you who voted and particularly to Don and Harry for their willingness to be coerced again into service! Thanks also goes to DUSTY MCADOO MACCOLL and Don Hawley for their hard work in planning this past Reunion.

Final Reunion note: You should have received a summary of the 15th Reunion Survey which documented the attitudes, demographics, interests, etc. of 54 of your classmates (a statistically valid sample, we're sure). If you didn't receive this notorious insight into your friends and classmates, please write and let me know.

ric Luskin '77, a public television producer and director, won a 1989 Philadelphia Em my A ward for Outstanding Cultural Broadcast as the producer of Ballet Ruse.

Billed as "classical dance with a comic twist," Ballet Ruse was a coproduction of New Jersey Network- the state's public television system -and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. Its director and lighting designer also won regional Emmys at the seventh annual competition of the Philadelphia chapter of the N ational Academy of Television Arts and Sciences held last September.

"Ballet R use was shot in three days in the studio; it was a lot of fun," said Luskin. Ballet and prime- time television soap operas are parodied in the halfhour special which features two ballets choreographed by Peter Anastos, artistic director of the Garden State Ballet and creator of the infamous allmale Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo.

Aired on many public television stations around the country. Ballet Ruse won praise from the critics, too. The Philadelphia Inquirer called it "an astoundingly polished and entertaining local production."

As an undergraduate at Trinity, Luskin majored in English and political science, and was involved wi th WRTC. "I thought I was going to be a musician," he said . He changed his mind and wen t on to study at the University ofPennsylvania's Annenberg School of Communications, where he earned a master's degree. He explained that he first "stumbled into New Jersey public television as a production assistant.

"The last two years, personally and professionally, have been great," said Luskin, w ho noted that The Making of Dr. Who, a documentary he had produced, received an Emmy nomination.

As for the future, he has lots of projects in mind - so watch those public television credits for his name.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. DON FRONZAGLIA and Mr. and Mrs. SCOTT BROWNELL, married within a week of one another this fall . Coincidentally, both couples chose Hawaii for their honeymoon spot. Various Trin alums gathered for each occasion.

Bill Howland is happy basically being his own boss with Prudential Life in Boston. Bob Loeber has taken up residence in Hartford and has been within View vicinity. It has been rumored that Bill Carroll has been spending a great deal of time hanging out in New York's most exclusive clubs - he can neve.r seem to get enough.

USA ALVAREZ..CALDERON is enjoying the challenges of her new job assignment in Chicago and is adapting to the midwestern style of living quite nicely. The drawback is the lack of travel to the East Coast.

ANNE MONGILLO has been making frequent trips to the Big Apple. She is planning to attend graduate school sometime in the near future and is receiving invaluable experience in research at Yale.

While vacationing in Florida midOctober, ANN GRUNBECK and I spent time with JESSICA BROWNSTEIN.

CHRIS HARGES and PETE WEISS are living in the Boston vicinity and although Pete submitted his new address, he and Chris are yet to inform me of their employment ventures.

TARA UCHTENFELS has moved outside of D.C. to Maryland and had some pretty painful foot surgery in early fall - rumors of having to dispense of her footwear.

UZ BREINER is getting prepared to move into her own singles pad in Hartford this fall. Her job at Arthur Andersen is going well.

FIFFA TAFFURI '89 and EILEEN NEILAN '89.

STEVEN DiSCIULLO is back to mainland U.S.A. after a stint in Alaska working for the phone company. He had a pretty good set-up from what I hear and quite a different lifestyle supplies were flown in by helicopter.

SEAN PADGET is planning to stay in Japan until this corning summer. He's having a fabulous experience but wants to continue his studies in the U.S. CINDY DOKAS and BRIDGET McCORMACK are diligently studying their way through their second year at law school. Who said the first year was the toughest?

MARIA GULINO has moved into the West Village in NYC and is still with Grey Advertising.

A great many of you still need to come out of the woodwork and keep me posted. It would make it easier to see it in writing rather than hearing it in bits and pieces. Please keep in touch.

Thanks and hope to hear from you

Do you own appreciated securities or real estate?

Are you locked into low-income-yielding stock?

Do you want to increase your spendable income?

Would you like to avoid capital gains taxes, yet receive income based on the full fair market value of your assets?

Do you want to benefit yourself with lifetime income and lifetime income for your beneficiary as well?

Would you like to give up the burden of managing some of those assets?

If you haven't been able to contribute to Trinity as substantially as you might like to because of the need for income from capital to keep pace with inflation, if you intended to leave a gift to Trinity by bequest anyway, and would enjoy some current income tax and estate tax savings ... and if you meet some of the criteria captioned above . . . perhaps we can help solve some of your problems with a retained life income gift to Trinity. A great way to do something for yourself and for Trinity at the same time!
