Dolci Speaks Of Sicilyby Alice O'Connor

On Wed., Oct. 19, in McCookAuditorium, Danilo Dolci spoke toan audience of Trinity faculty andstudents, with a large attendanceof members of the Hartford com-munity. He spoke about "educationand social change in Sicily."

Dolci was introduced byProfessor of Modern LanguagesMichael Campo, who described hishumanitarian work in westernSicily. Through the im-plementation of modernagricultural and educationaltechniques Dolci has succeeded ingiving the poor of Sicily a sense ofdignity and purpose. He has actedbravely to introduce change in theface of resistance from threetraditionally strong contingencies:the Mafia, the local government,and the church. Campo noted that,in his many years of work in Sicily,Dolci has been threatened by the

-.Mafia, arrested, and denounced bythe church. Through his non-violent methods, Dolci has beenable to make progress despitestrong opposition.

Dolci delivered his lecture inItalian, with interpretationprovided by Assistant Professor ofModern Languages AndreaBianchini. The talk was filled withnumerous "stories" of Dolci'sexperiences with the Siciliancommunity. His language, even tothe untrained ear; was beautiful,and it expressed great feeling andconviction towards his work.

In the opening statement, Dolcisaid that "the world has become acity...whole continents are neigh-borhoods of this city...the problemsof countries are the problems ofthis city..." He feels that men havetrouble understanding thisrelationship, for they abort parts ofthe international community ratherthan redeem them. This attitude isto him evidence of man's lack ofimagination, for by destroyingforests, rivers, cities, and his ownfamily, he is losing his most vitalresources. "

Dolci said that it would beuseful to make a list of those whohave made history-how they lived,

their ideas, the accusations againstthem, and how they died. We couldthen see the resistance to thosewho try to invent a different futurefor us.

Dolci described his center inSicily as a small laboratory,concerned with studying theproblems of the area in greatdepth. Initially, he said, he wasignorant of Sicily and its culture.Thus, in the beginning of his stay,he asked questions of the people,and worked with the fishermen inorder to leant "with the bonesrather than with the head." Heinitiated, with the people he hadcome to know, a "popular self-analysis of the community."

Through observation of theexisting conditions, Dolci's groupwas able to analyze theagricultural problems anddetermine their solutions. As thearea has little or no rain in thesummer, they concluded thatirrigation i with stored up waterfrom the winter, should be im-

Banchoff To Lecture

Danilo Dolci with interpreter Andrea Bianchini of the modern languages department.photo by Debbie White

Professor Thomas Banchoff ofthe Mathematics Department atBrown University, will visit Trinity,Tuesday, October 25, as a guest ofthe Mellon Symposium and theMathematics Department. He willlecture on various aspects of thefourth dimension, focusing par-ticularly on the problem faced byhuman beings in attempting tovisualize four-dimensional objects.His lecture will be accompanied byfilms of computer graphics createdby him to aid in this process ofvisualization. The level of the talkwill be non-technical and thesubject matter should appeal to all.

Readers of Edwin A. Abbott'slittle book Flatland will recognizethat OUT predicament in relation toa four-dimensional world isanalogous to that of the Flatlanderswho have no experience in threedimensions. Professor Banchoffhas developed computer models inwhich four-dimensional objectsimpinge on our three-dimensionalworld. As the objects move in fourdimensions, our three-dimensionalview of them changes and we caninfer something about their higher-dimensional "reality".

Professor Banchoff received hisB.A. from the University of NotreDame and his PJi.D. from Berkeleyin 1964. He had appointments atHarvard and the University ofAmsterdam, Holland, before goingto Brown in 1968. His curiosityabout the fourth dimension datesfrom his youth and he has pursuedit as a fairly active interest over thepast 12 years. His work on com-puter modeling has been done in

collaboration with Charles Straussof the Applied MathematicsDepartment at Brown.

The lecture will take placetoday at 4:00 in McCookAuditprium. An informaldiscussion with Professor Banchoffwill take place, in McCook Libraryfollowing the lecture.

Other Mellon Symposiumactivities .this week include alecture by Edward Sloan of thehistory department entitled"History: The Useful Fiction andthe Necessary Lie" on Monday,October 31 at 4:00 in McCookAuditorium,

Another Word On Minority EnrollmentIn the shadow of the Bakke*

case, student gf oups are protestinga delcine in Black enrollment incolleges nationwide. A recentlyreleased study shows that blackenrollment is down-or-up, depend-ing on how it is interpreted.

The study, by the NationalAssociation of State Universitiesand Land-Grant Colleges(NASULGC) is based on statisticsfrom its 306 member colleges andrepresents one-third of US collegeenrollments. The study showspercentages of minority enroll-ments and actual numbers. Inpercentages, Black enrollment hasdecreased over the last two years.Percentages indicate a proportionto the whole or the proportion ofBlack students to overall general

matriculation.The study also shows actual

numbers of each ethnic group incollege. These figures show blackstudents have increased theirnumbers in the last two years.

In 1972 Blacks comprised 8,4percent of the college under-graduate population. By 1976, thefigure dropped to 7.3 percent.However the study maintains thatBlack enrollment is up. Theapparent contradiction is easy tosort out.

Ion Phillips, head "of theNASULGC study explained to CPSthe reason for the percentage dropin Black enrollment was due toexpansion of other minority pro-grams aimed at Chicano and NativeAmerican populations. Blacks

didn't lose ground to white enroll-ment but to other minorities.

The first efforts at minorityrecruitment began with Blacks inthe 1960's. Since 1972, collegeshave put more emphasis on ex-panding non-Black minority re-cruitment. In percentages this wasdetrimental to Black enrollment.While white enrollment has re-mained constant, Blacks^ havehad to move over to make room forother minorities. Chicano studentstook up the lost percentage point inBlack enrollment when their num-bers on college campuses increasedfrom 1.5 percent in 1972 to 4percent in 1976. .

Phillips noted several trends

Orthodox FellowshipIf you happen to be passing by

the chapel at about three o'clock onMonday afternoons, you may hearstrange and unusual notes comingfrom the crypt. You're hearingsome of the most ancient of allChristian hymns, almost all ofwhich are unknown in the usage ofmost churches today.

The Orthodox Christian fel-lowship of Trinity College sponsors,the Service of Vespers at this timeeach Monday in the crypt chapelfor anyone who would like to come,especially those who love "acapella" singing.

The Service of Vespers itself isthe first service of the day in thelife of the Orthodox Church, which

begins at the setting of the sun.The service, which dates from theSecond century, takes us throughcreation, sin and the salvation of

Christ, all in symbols. It is meant tolead to the prayer to God of thewhole person and all senses, sight(the priest's vestments, candles,icons, etc.), smell (incense), hear?ing (the ancient hymns whichexpress the inexpressible beyondall time) and touch (the kissing ofthe Holy Cross).

The recipiants of the Facul-ty Scholar Prize were an-,.;j$vin<?ed last week. David

Kurtz, son of Mr. and Mts.Leonard Kurtz of JenkintownPennsylvania and CatherineMenard, daughter of Mr. andMrs. Robert Menard of Rock-ville, Connecticut were a-warded the prize. The prize isawarded annually by the facul-ty to the sophomore(s) whohave shown outstanding schol-arly achievement and potentialas demonstrated by academicwork. The honor entitles thestudents to one free course atTrinity.

demands enlarge and become morediverse. Hence, in deciding on aprinciple which will benefit sodiverse a people, the governmentshould act keeping in mind thoseaspects which tie all the people inthe community together. '

At the same time, thepolicymakers must pay heed to thefact that there are cultural dif-ferences between people, and thatthese differences must berespected. Admittedly, Warnerconcluded, his suggestionswouldn't end all urban problemsforever, but they might be a goodstart.

found in the study. Minorityenrollment is growing faster thentotal enrollment. Overall the per-centage of minority students rosefrom 11 percent in 1972 to 15.2percent in 1976. Total full-timeenrollment (white and non-whitestudents) rose only 6.3 percent.

In studies compiled in 1968,1970, 1972 and 1974, the percenttage of minority first-year studentsin contrast to remaining under-graduates has decreased with eachnew study. As a result minoritiesare not dropping out at a significantrate, Statistically at least, pro-grams aimed at increasing minoritygraduates are doing their job.

The third trend shown by the

study indicates an increase of Blackstudents in traditionally whitecolleges and, in reverse an increase of white students in histori" fcally Black colleges. In 1968,608 "'•percent of black students went toall Black colleges. By 1976 688percent of Black college studentsstudied at formerly all whitecolleges. Black colleges have not 'suffered from the shift becausewhite students have in many casesenrolled. Most noticeable is theturnover at Lincoln University inMissouri, formerly an all Blackcollege. By 1976 white students ?.comprised 49 percent of the 'student population.

Dolci Speakscont. from p. 1

plemented. This led to the buildingof the first dam and irrigationsystem. He noted that, when thedam began to supply agriculturalimprovement, the peasants beganto organize in a cooperative,democratic way. In this way thedam was leverage for structuralchanges in the society, Once thepeople organized, they saw thatthey had the power to improve.The greatest resistance is alwaysencountered . when working forprojects that introduce change.Once the initial "leverage" isestablished, though, the newlyorganized community can direct itsenergies toward differentproblems. In the case of westernSicily, the next step was in the fieldof education.

Dolci noted that the problem ineducation is that many have nodesire to go to traditional schools.He feels that the important thing isto realize that there are viablealternatives in education, that itshouldn't be "closed off" with oldmethods. This is the basis forDolci's experimental "pedagogicalpenter." Most of the students of the

school are young children. Theireducation commences from theprecept that children have vitalinterests, some of which theythemselves are not aware. It is thegoal of the teachers to direct thisnatural curiosity toward a realmethod of study. Dolci emphasizedthat we must realize that there ismore than one way to see, to hear,and to learn, Through the ex-perimental school, he is trying tocultivate a new approach tolearning in his pupils, one in whichthey desire to learn and to expressthemselves. He noted that he doesnot advocate anti-authoritarianschools, which are themselvesbased on the model of traditionalschools.

Dolci said that the teachers atthe center should be sincere andmeditative people, and should beable to encourage these qualities inothers. Many traditional schools donot attempt to develop thesecharacteristics in the students.Dolci feels they are essential toeducation. He described themethods of the experimentalcenter in the classroom. Thechildren arrive and are asked what

they want to do that day. Theyknow they will be asked this, andare prepared with an answer,Everyone, including the teacher,»expresses an answer. Based on thiidiscussion, they all coordinate theday. In this way, every event isrooted in the motivation of thechildren. As Dolci sees it, there isno development without will anddesire,; it is necessary to know"what we're aspiring to," in order!to develop a method and amotivation for learning.

When, in a "question, commentand advice" period, Dolci was:asked about the educators, he saidthat many of them come from theSicilian population. They includepeasants, fishermen, carpentersand sometimes even teachers,adding that professional teachers,are often too conditioned by thetraditional methods of education loaccept alternative methods. Thosewho have experienced through*body as well as the mind can ofe r -many insights in education.

In his conclusion, Dolci1

stressed that, by using the exampleof new structures in small areas, *•can "change the face of the earth."

MBA Admissions Forum

/ Students * - M i d r i i e ^League protest the Pro-Life conveittlon that was lield inMather Satut day Afternoon. •'•• :̂ -:-. • --::. ir '.. v-" . :u •• •

About the hottest item inAmerican higher education today isthe MBA degree-Master of Busi-ness Administration. Not only isthe degree considered nearly es-sential for "fast track" corporatepositions, but its versatility in awide range of enterprises-such aspublic service and government-hasbecome increasingly evident asgraduate business and manage-

.ment school enrollments continueto soar.

For. these reasons, more1 than6,000 prospective MBAs areexpected to attend the 1977 MBAAdmission Forum, October 27-29 atthe Roosevelt Hotel, to questionofficers from 82 MBA schools abouttheir programs. Additional For-ums, all sponsored by the nonprofitGraduate Management AdmissionCouncil, will be held this Fall inChicago and San Francisco. Theprograms are free and open to thepublic.

The Forums offer undergradu-ates a unique opportunity to decidewhether an MBA degree will helpthem achieve their career goals. Inaddition, students who alreadyhave decided to earn MBAs will beable to investigate the programsoffered by 82 schools across thecountry in the course of a singleday.

Information will also be avail-able on double-degree programs(i.e. business law), part-time pro-grams for working people (manyemployers will pay tuition formanagement programs), financialaid, etc.

The Forums are unique in thatno other professional group in the

country provides the means forprospective students to researchand compare so many differentprograms at once.

This is the third year a series ofForums is being offered, andparticipation by both schools and'visitors has increased each year-anindication of the growing interest inmanagement education throughoutthe country.

MBA school enrollments arenow topping the 135,000 mark, forexample-triple what they were tenyears ago-MBA degrees are being

awarded at the rate of 32,000 a yea'compared with 6,000 in 1964. ;

Although the MBA degree isoften associated with corporate orfinancial institutions, Forum rep-resentatives will also discuss thefact that not all MBAs want or findcorporate jobs. Many candidateshave their sights on positions mconsulting, research, government,hospitals, non-profit institutions.and even the arts, where the skillsof the professional manager ateequally as impdrtant.

Public AdministrationThe Southern Regional Train-

ing Program in Public Admin-istration is now accepting appli-cations for fellowships for the1978-79- academic year. The pro-gram prepares students for careersin government and is sponsored bythe Universities of Alabama, Ken-tucky and Tennessee.

Warner Lectures On City And Suburb

student!.o f t k

faf.

For 'P;

by Robert LevyLast Wednesday evening, at

8:00 P.M., urban historian SamBass Warner, Jr. delivered a publiclecture entitled "Old Cities and OldSuburbs: Their Decline andRenewal." The lecture, held in theBoyer Auditorium, attracted agood sized crowd, with manymembers of the Hartford com-munity in attendance.

Warner began by noting thatsince the nation today is essentiallyan urban nation, it follows that theproblems of the city are nationalproblems as well. Several yearsago, Warner continued, there was afeeling of hope and optimism forthe city, due partly to PresidentJohnson's Great Society Program."There were local organizations forhealth, civil rights actions, andimproving relations betweentenants and landlords.

But all that changed with thecoming of the VietNam War, theenergy crisis, and the economicrecession. As President Nixon shutoff the Great Society Programs oneby one, urban issues took a backseat to other issues. For example,in the Presidential election last

year, neither candidate ran on anurban issue. Warner noted that inthe nine months' time since Carterhas been in office, HUD has yet toform an urban policy.

Many urban scholars feel thatshoveling more and more moneyinto cities only causes the cities tomake more and more demands.Warner said that this "...tired anddepressed view is only a half-truth..." for urban demands oughtto be ceaseless - because as peoplelearn from the past, they willinevitably press for newpossibilities in the future. Thus,Warner remarked, our urbanpolicy ought to be directed towardthe future and not simply be abuttressing of the past.

To give a for instance, Warnerobserved that it is a well-knownfact that many people are leavingthe cold climates of the North forthe booming sunbelt in the South.For this reason, many congressmenfeel we should aid the North andpenalize the South in order toachieve some kind of equity. Thefact is, however, that the per capitaincome in the North is still higher

than that of the South. Therefore,Warner feels that federal aid oughtto be doled out in terms of percapita income in a given region.The trouble is, the federalgovernment doesn't keep track ofregional per capita income!

Another problem with the waythe federal government handlesurban problems is its tendency tobail out failing cities and privateenterprise. What this amounts to isthat the federal government istrying to solve urban problems bypaying for old investments rather

than helping cities correct present-day problems.

The goal of federal urbanpolicy, Warner says "...ought to beto ease the pains of change." Inother words, as people's needs inthe city change, these needs oughtto be dealt with more humanely.Warner then explained how thispolicy should be carried out.

First of all, just as we have aparity program for agriculture, soshould we have one for cities. Inagriculture, the federal govern-ment makes payment to a farmer

depending on the cost of living inthe region. Warner believes thesame could be done for cities. Also,the federal government shouldinitiate programs which will trainpeople for new jobs, help them finda new job, and help them move towhere the new job is located.

The other change in urbanpolicy which Warner would like tosee demands that governmentrecognize the fine line separatingdifferent cultures within a com-munity. As the middle classbecomes more affluent, its

Hook Speaks On Kleistby Tucker Ellinghaus

Tuesday night, October 18, wasthe fifth lecture of Trinity's annualHorizons Program. Dr. DonaldHook, Professor of ModernLanguages, conducted a fifty-minute lecture upon the subject"Kleist: Integrator of Opposites."

Professor Hook stated that hisgoal in choosing Kleist as a subjectwas to inspire interest in thebrilliant author whose complexworks are either not well known orconsidered dry. As such amissionary, Hook outlined Kleist'slife and explained some of hisdramas. Kleist's short, violent lifeand works are intrinsically relatedbecause the man sufferedtremendous inner conflict whichgave depth to his pursuance ofman's philosophical questions.

Kleist was born in 1777 inPrussia. After being educated forfour years in Berlin, then a memberof the infantry for seven years, hesettled on an island near Swit-zerland and began to write.

The man's impetuous nature ledhim on a quest for happiness and

absolute truth. Underneath his shymanner was a character existing onthe border or order and disorder,success and failure. Kleist was aman of action and saw life throughwhat was later to be termedexistentialism. For instance, hebelieved in man's activity andreason. Man is an object, but isnever complete. He is alwayschanging through free will tocreate himself. He never un-derstood God, but strove to un-derstand life's purpose, Kleist'ssuicide at the age of thirty-four wasboth a solution to his problems anda challenge. It was a moment ofecstacy as he anticipated a betterworld transcending immortality.

His works are filled with apassion analagous to the "powerfulserging of a great stream." Hisprotagonists are imbued with thesame imbalances as their creator;they eventually either save ordestroy themselves while seekinghappiness. Characters are facedwith a "swirl of alternatives." Theireventual choice leads the structureof his writings to synthesis after

thesis and antithesis. Kleist wrotedramas, novellas, anecdotes, shortstories, poems, essays and longletters; he also established twojournals. His best works are thenovella-a type of short novel thatrevolves around a startlingoccurrence. No characterdevelopment ensues. The novella isbased on the type of thing onewould read in a newspaper. Ear-thquake in Chile is an example of agreat novella by Kleist. .

Kleist received no acclaim untilone hundred years after his death.His works were too revolutionaryfor eighteenth century rationalismas they exposed feelings covered bycivilization. Professor Hook findsKleist a fascinating, rewardingsubject, relevant to modern times.Hook's lecture was very convincingof this belief.

Tonight at 8:00 in theWashington Room, Professor ofPhilosophy Drew Hyland willdeliver "And Thou Shald HaveDominion Over the Earth: HumanBeing and Nature."

Am. Stud. Hosts Foreignersby Alice O'Connor

The Trinity American StudiesDepartment is hosting a visit by agroup ol foreign American Studiesscholars today, October 25. Thepurpose of the visit is to ovserve thestructure of the American Studiesprogram at - a small liberal artscollege.

Some of the visitors are presentlystudying at American universitiesunder Fullbright sponsorship.Others are prominent Americanistsin their home countries, who are.coming to the United States toattend the American StudiesConvention in Boston on October27. The countries represented by thegroup include Japan, Greece,Taiwan, the Phillipines, Indonesia,Korea, Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon,Portugal, Syria, and West Ger-many.

Gene Leach, Director ofTrinity's American Studiesprogram, said that the members ofthe group are presently or will beprofessors of American Studies intheir countries. It is probablye thatthey will be considered the officialinterpreters of American culture intheir national universities.

The group will also visit theUniversity of Pennsylvania onMonday and Yale University onWednesday, both of which havelarge American Studies depart-ments, with at least fifteen facultymembers. They a e .recognized asttwo of the leading programs in theEast, including Ph.d. studies.

The visitors will observe Trinityas a small college which hasreorganized its structure to includean undergraduate major inAmerican Studies. Leach noted thatthe group should be especiallyinterested in Trinity's program, as itwill be a more relevant model fortheir own. Here they will see thedepartment on a smaller scale thanelsewhere.

Conn. Cities Suffer Population DownshiftRadical population down-shifts,

have been recorded between Julyi, 1976 and July 1, 1977 inConnecticut's five major cities,according to latest official statepopulation estimates released lastweek by the state health depart-ment.

Total estimated state popula-tion as of July 1, 1977 is 3,161,410,an increase by 9,210 over the July1,1976 estimate of 3,152,200.. According to State Demograp-her Robert Odell, the state'sdeclining birth rate and a slightone-year increase in the death ratehas for "the first time caused thestate's total natural increase to fallbelow 10,000 to 9,455. The figuresshow that this factor coupled with

the total 9,210 increase yielded anet loss of 245 people leaving thestate - the first time that a netout-migration has been recorded bystate calculations.

The over-all state growth ratedeclined from an estimated .5percent to .3 percent in thetwelve-month period.

According to the latest estima-ted figures, Bridgeport and Hart-ford remain in the state's twolargest cities with Bridgeport lead-ing Hartford by 1,000. Bridgeportdropped in population from 153,000in 1976 to 148,000 in 1977. Hartfordshowed the biggest populationdrop of the five major cities from153,000 to 147,000.

New Haven population declined

by 2,000 from 133,000 in 1976 to131,000 in 1977. Stamford droppedfrom 108,500 to 107,000 andWaterbury registered a decreasefrom 113,900 to 112,000.

Odell said the figures reflectpartial adjustment to federal anal-ysis of population figures but alsostem from an abandonment of cityapartments and continued exodusof youth and young marrieds to thesuburbs.

"Our cities are now becomingcities of the very young and thevery old. It connotes changesreflecting a lower birth rate and aleveling off of the mortality rate,"said Odell.

Connecticut's birth rate hasbeen declining and is now one of

the lowest in the nation. Finalfigures show a state record low of11.3 live births per 1,000 popu-lation as of December 31, 1976 --compared to 11.4 for the same datein 1975.

The death rate for 1976 ispegged at 8.3 per 1,000 populationand 8.2 for 1975 indicating anover-all leveling off of a slowlydeclining death rate since a rate of

Commissioner Urges Age ChangeWilliam R. Ratchford, Commis-

sioner, State Department on Aginghas urged the Senate to passfavorably on S 1984, a bill designedto expand the coverage of the AgeDiscrimination in Employment Actof 1967 by abolishing the upper agelimit for federal employees andextending coverage to age 70 in theprivate sector. In a letter toSenators Abraham Ribicbff andLowell Weieker, Jr. the Com-missioner said, "Scores of elderlyhave testified in favor of theelimination of mandatory retire-ment before various subcommit-tees. Forcing them (the elderly) toretire "solely on the basis of age"is an enormous waste of humanresources.

Jn his letter to the Senators, theCommissioner pointed out that'' We must.. .take along hard look atthe social implications of present"mandatory retirement policies"and went on to give additionalreasons for his conviction:

Police andChild Abuse

The role of the police in childabuse cases was the subject of aworkshop for police youth officersfrom across the state on. October18th. Sponsored jointly by theConnecticut Justice Commissionand Efepartment of Children andYouth Services, the worksho washeld from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at theMunicipal Police Training Aca-demy in Merufen, It will berepeated in its entirety on October25th at the same time and place sothat additional police youth officerscan be accommodated.

Principle workshop speakersare to include William Carbone,Executive Director of the Connecti-cut Justice Commission, DeputyCommissioner Jeanette Dille of theDepartment of Children and YouthServices, arid Dr. Joseph Leistyna,pediatrician and consultant on childabuse, who will give the keynoteaddress.

The agenda for morning andearly afternoon workshop sessionscenters around a film on childabuse, an overview of DCYSProtective Services by DeputyCommissioner Dille, and a paneldiscussion of "Roles and Res-ponsibilities in Child AbuseCases." This will be followed bysmall group discussions.Panel speakers and participantswill include Donna Pressma, Dir-ector of DCYS Protective Services;Bethel Police Chief Richard Carlo,President of the Connecticut Chiefsof Police Association; Joseph Free-man, DCYS Statewide Coordinatorof Youth Service Systems; andJohn Borys, Director of Probationfor the Juvenile Court. Ms. JettaBernier of the Connecticut ChildWelfare Association will act as, aresource person for the panel.

1. Mandatory retirement in'America is a relatively new pheno-menon. It began shortly after thepassage of the Social Security Actof 1935 extended retirement bene-fits to individuals 65 years of ageand over... Today at age 65 mencan expect to live an additional 13years and women another 16 years.So, mandatory retirement makesfor a long period of idleness and itis a very expensive proposition aswell. Presently three workers sup-port each retiree through the socialsecurity system and our reduced birthrate and expanded life expect-ancy promise to exacerbate thissituation.

2. While many persons electretirement, studies indicate that30% or more are able to and wouldlike to continue to work beyond theage of 65. Forcing them to retire isan enormous waste of humanresources.

3. Research... indicates that...older workers are more stable,more reliable, require less super-vision, have comparable productionrecords, are more loyal and missfewer days of work due to illness.

4. The number of job slots madeavailable .through mandatory re-tirement policies amounts to lessthan VJ of 1% annually. What ismore, we can't assume that theseslots will be filled by youngeremployees, minorities or women.Often they are abolished and theduties are delegated among theremaining workers. ,

5. Mandatory sretirement oftentransfers workers from payrolls topublic support tolls... Retirement

income hovers around 50% of̂preretirement income. That theelderly don't "heed as muchmoney to live on" is a myth. Theelderly have increased expenses insome areas.

6. Retirement can have a verynegative effect on the health andspiritual well-being of people.Today's elderly believe in the workethic even more strongly than dotheir younger counterparts. Yetmandatory retirement policy tellsthe worker that when he reachedhis 65th birthday he is no longeruseful to his employer and will notbe allowed to work any longer.

7. The major issue becomes oneof human rights.A movement to-ward the abolishment of mandatoryretirement is no more, no less thana movement to exclude categoricaldescrimination on the basis of age.

8. An end to mandatory retire-ment does not mean that industrywill be forced to keep incompetentpeople on the payroll --measuresexist to determine incompetenceand there is no law that prohibitstermination of incompetent em-ployees of any age.

9. While there are no scientificdata to ^support the policy of

' compulsory retirement on the basisof age, there is a great deal ofevidence to the contrary.

"While we oppose all man-datory retirement policies andeventually would like to see themcompletely abolished, we ask in theinterim that you support themodification as proposed in S1984," concluded CommissionerRatchford.

Coalition to Save Farmlandby Dan Teller

The spread of shopping centers,industrial parks, and housingdevelopments over farmland andrural open spaces is a disgusting yetall too familiar sight.

However, a law has beenproposed in Connecticut thatwould stop the commercialdevelopment of much of the state'sfarmland.

Under the Agricultural LandPreservation Act, the state wouldbuy the development rights to mostof Connecticut's farmland. The lawwould not restrict the private saleand purchase of farmland, but itwould prevent its commercialdevelopment and preserve it asagricultural land.

A. few figures illustrate thedegree to which farmland hasshrunk in Connecticut. These arefrom an article by Douglas Costle,Administrator of the U.S. En-vironmental Protection Agency:

"In Connecticut, agriculturallands decreased more than 50percent in the decade 1960-70, and10 percent more from 1969 to 1974.One hundred years ago only 20percent of Connecticut's threemillion acres was not agriculturalland. Today, only 500,000 acres, orsome 16 percent, are classified asland used for agricultural purposes.At the same time this was hap-pening, C onnecticut's residentialland increased by 54 percent,

commercial land by 80 percent,industrial land by 70 percent, andinstitutional land by 89 percent."

Over the past 30 years, the basicreason for the widescale con-version of agricultural land hasbeen the low agricultural value ofthe land as compared to its highdevelopment value. Most of theconversion has happened nearurban areas where farms havedisappeared under urban sprawl.

The spread of suburbandevelopment into the countrysidealso affects farmland not in theimmediate path of development,for it pushes up land values andencourages speculative buying.

All this threatens theagricultural industry becausefarmers realize that the land valueshave risen so high that otherfarmers cannot invest in the landand expect to realize an equitablereturn from farming. The averagefanner is over fifty, and his in-clination is to sell his valuable landfor non-agricultural uses once heretires. ,

The development rights of theland are figured by subtracting theagricultural value of farmland fromits value for other uses besidesagriculture. For example, Con-necticut farms with an agriculturalvalue of $175 per acre are worth upto $2,000 per acre on the landmarket. In 1974 the Governor'sTask Force for the Preservation of

Agricultural Land estimated [fiatreserving 325,000 acres for far-mland would cost $500 million.

This could be financed by statebonds or by a tax on real estatetransfers (such as a land gains tax inVermont).

The reasons for retainingfarmland are many and diverse. Ona global level, it is a necessaryresponse to the planet's growingpopulation and consumptiondemands. Aesthetically, it wouldpreserve open spaces.

Environmentally, farmlands areessential to our ecological well-being. They protect wetlands, floodplains, watersheds, and wildlifehabitats, in addition to providingrecreational areas and areas forrecycling wastes.

There are also economicreasons. In 1974, farms in urbanareas produced one-fifth of all foodproduced in the U.S. Keeping foodproduction near the consumerwould keep food costs down.

In September the Coalition toSave Farmland was formed. Thisgroup is conducting research onthe specific social and financialaspects of agricultural landpreservation, and is trying to solicitenough legislative support to seethis law through the sfatelegislature.

Health Chief Calls For Better Nutrition

by Julie JohnsonProviding a wide sampling of

Hartford's diverse ethnic cultures,the sixth- Annual Mayor's AHAmerican Festival ran fromMonday, October 10 throughSaturday, October 15. The festival,sponsored by the Mayor's AHAmerican Council was held in G.Fox and Company's Centinel HillHall.

The festival featured more thanthirty booths representing thevarious ethnic groups of theHartford area: African, Afro-American, Armenian, Barbados,Chinese, Colombian, Cuban,Czechoslavakian, Egyptian,French, Greek, Indian, Israeli,Native American, Norwegian,Peruvian, Polish, Puerto Rican,Russian, Romanian, Swedish,Uruguayan, Vietnamese, and WestIndian.

Among these groups the NativeAmerican and Cuban booths werenew to the festival this year. Also ofinterest was the African boothwhich demonstrated the arts andcrafts of Sierra Leone, Ghanda,Tanzania, Nigeria, and Uganda.

Dance performances, craftpresentations, and native cookingwere all part of the event. Thebooths themselves each presentedexamples of a particular tradition.Everything from French pastries toMexican pottery, to a pamphletdescribing Romanian Folklorecould be found-the variety-atribute to the uniqueness of eachculture represented.

Whether the exhibit was thefood of a country, a song, or anhistorical essay, the atmospherethat permeated the exhibit hall wasone of cultural pride.

The Czechoslovakian woman,dressed in her native costume,recounted stories about thoseCzechs oppressed in World War II;an African gentleman described anEbony carving; a Greek womancarefully dished out her pastries.Each of these participants per-sonified a particular heritage.

In hopes that this pride might

reach a few young people, schoolchildren from the Hartford areavisited the festival throughout theweek. For them the festivalprovided an introduction to theethnic and cultural richness ofurban life.

To further support this "cityeducation" the Mayor's AllAmerican Council is involved inanother project as well. A series offilms describing ethnic cultures isnow being produced.

Designed for inclusion in theschool curriculum, the project isentitled, "Bread: The Staff ofEthnic Life." The project is locatedat 86 Pratt Street in Hartford.

Connecticut residents will beeating healthier foods anddeveloping better eating habits ifState Health Commissioner Dr.Douglas Lloyd has his way. But hemade it clear that it has to happensoon.

Speaking at the University ofConnecticut Health Center inFarmington last week, Dr. Lloydcalled upon a group of statelegislators and representativesfrom several state-wide healthagencies to help him create greaternutrition awareness.

"We believe we have therespons bility to provide the publicwith guidelines for eating toprevent obesity and maintain a dietwhich will meet daily dietaryrecommendations. This includestaking into consideration thosefoods which have been foundthrough research to be associated

with cardiovascular disease."I am establishing a technical

advisory task force and am askingyou to help us reach a consensus ona set of recommendations whichcan be made by the healthdepartment and supported byorganizations and agencies inConnecticut which - providenutrition education," said Lloyd..

In preparing remarks, Lloydnoted that a U.S. Senate SelectCommittee on Nutrition and

-Human Needs has already begun tolook into the issue.

Citing the committee's reportwhich includes dietary goals for thecountry, Lloyd agreed with thecommittee's observation that "theeating patterns of this centuryrepresent as critical a public healthhazard as any now before us."

Mayor's "Meaningful Affirmative Action"by Gary Abramson

The affirmative action issuelately seems to be everywhere. As aresult of the Bakke Case, interestin affirmative action (or reversediscrimination, depending on one'sview) has greatly increased. Theissue is being examined moreclosely now on a local governmentlevel, arid Hartford is no exception.

This past week Mayor GeorgeAthanson has taken up the battle inregard to a Federal program inHartford, the Park River FloodControl Project, run by the ArmyCorps of Engineers. Athanson lastweek cited "serious deficiences inthe Federal procedures for insuringmeaningful affirmative actiontoward equal employment op-portunity," and called for "theactive involvement of eachmember of the Connecticut(Congressional) delegation in ourefforts to bring about a peacefuland just resolution" to theproblems facing the Park RiverProject.

Last month some local officialsand labor leaders charged that the$77.4 million flood control projectwas not meeting the requirementsfor local hiring and minorityemployment.

Ronald Fletcher of Hartford's

Human Relations C ommission hassaid that the Vicon ConstructionCo., contractors on the first phaseof the project, has been sendingreports on minority hiring via theCorps of Engineers, and thatminority employment has declinedin most trades, below the 15% goalset by the city.

State representatives SanfordCloud and Boyd Hinds havecomplained of the slowness ofsome bureaucracies to comply withthe programs, and in echo of thisAthanson has sent a memo toGovernor Grasso and Con-necticut's six Congressmen andtwo U.S. Senators charging that "itis imperative that > the statedpolicies of the President and theCongress of the United States topromote and assure fully equalemployment opportunity for allAmericans be accepted and carriedout by each department, agency,and public official."

The Mayor's staff recentlyprepared a report which was sentto the Congressmen pointing outfailures of the Federal affirmativeaction requirements, commenting,"It is difficult to avoid the con-clusion," that the affirmative actionregulations regarding the ParkRiver Project, "are .being

level officials."The Mayor's report said that "It

is strongly recommended that thehighest linking officers of theDepartment of Defense, Dept. ofthe Army, Dept. of Labor, and theOffice of Federal ContractCompliance Programs be im-mediately apprised of thissituation, and that they be urged tomove quickly' to correct theseimproper practices and policies."

Apparently Athanson is takingno chances, since he is planning atrip to Washington to speak withCongressmen and other officialspersonally. Not long ago he saidthat "it is recommended that a fulland complete compliance reviewbe immediately initiated towardboth the Vicon ConstructionC ompany and Roger Au & Sons todetermine if they are able to meetaffirmative action requirements.

The Mayor's wish for reviewwas granted by the Defense Dept.,but much to his dismay, the reportson Roger Au & Son, prime con-tractor for the project, are beingreleased through U.S. Rep. WilliamCotter of Connecticut, andAthanson was not invited toCotter's meeting with the Armyofficials, the U.S. Labor Dept. andthe president of Au & Sons.

nutritional habit is a key factor,"said Lloyd. Quoting SenateCommittee Chairman GeorgeMcGovern, Lloyd noted that "Wemust acknowledge and recognizethat the public is confused aboutwhat to eat to maximize health. li aGovernment wants to1 reducehealth costs and maximize thequality of life for all Americans, wehave an obligation to providepractical guides to the individualconsumer."

Lloyd observed that nationaland statewide dietary goals arelong overdue.

Taking its cue from the nationalfindings, the state Task Force isexpected to review and react to sixnational recommendations callingfor increased consumption of fiberfood, calorie control, increasedpoultry and fish consumption andless red . meat, substitution ofvegetable oils for animal and dairyfats, reduced sugar consumption,and less use of salt and foods highin salt content.

State,, legislators invited toparticipate are the co-Chairmen ofthe legislature's Public Health andSafety Committee, Rep, PaulLaRosa, Hartford and Sen. An-thony Ciarlone, New Haven;ranking Minority CommitteeMember Rep. Virginia Connolly,Simsbury; and Sen. Audrey Beck,Mansfield, Chairperson of thelegislature's Finance Committee.Public Health and Safety Com-mittee staffers were also invited.

Understanding The Case: A Commentaryby Thomas D. Lips

"For at least a generation, the lessonof the great decisions of this courtand the lessons of contemporaryhistory have been the same: discrim-ination of the basis of race is illegal,immoral, unconstitutional, inherentlywrong and distructive of a democraticsociety. Now this is to be unlearnedand we are told that this is not amatter of fundamental principle hutonly a matter of whose ox is gored.''

The late Alexander BickelProfessor of Law, Yale University

"To be blind to race today is to beblind to reality."

; WadeMcCreeSolicitor General of the United States

The Regents of the Universityof California vs. Allan Bakkepresents for Supreme Court deci-sion the most legally complex ofany civil rights case to be ruledupon by this body. It is also themost misunderstood.

To understand the issues of lawand, as importantly, the propercontext in which to consider them,one must first understand the factsinvolved. Allan Bakke sought ad-mission to the School of Medicine,the University of California atDavis, one of 2,644 applicants for100 positions, sixteen of whichwere restricted to "disadvantagedstudents". Those applicants who

^d^ntj^ed themselves as disad-'%antaged-vmetnbets ,o{ minorities

were considered separately fromother applicants, including AllanBakke, who is white. Bakke. wasdenied admission. His grade pointaverage was 3.51. Accepted amongminority students were applicantswith averages of 2.1 and 2.2. Noneof the 16 minority matriculantsachieved the Medical College Ad-mission Test score of Bakke.Following a second unsuccessfulapplication, Allan Bakke filed suitagainst the University. The. Cali-fornia Supreme Court ruled in favor

of Bakke's claim that the School olMedicine had discriminated a-gainst him in violation of the equalprotection clause of the FourteenthAmendment. The basis of theCourt's holding was as follows:"...the principle that the Constitu-tion sanctions racial discriminationagainst a race — any race — is adangerous concept fraught withpotential for misuse:.."To uphold the University wouldcall for the sacrifice of principle forthe sake of dubious expediency...The safest course, the one mostconsistent with the fundamentalinterests of all races and with thesesign of the Constitution, is tohold... that the special admissionsprogram is unconstitutional be-cause it violates the rights guaran-teed to the majority by the equalprojection clause.''

The Court's decision was ap-pealed by the University and oralargument was heard by the Sup-reme Court October 12. And nownine justices must rule. Thequestion remains: what matters arethey to decide and what will theyrule? For several reasons, theBakke case is troubling. First, itinvolves not only issues of law butalso the very gray area of socialjustice. Moreover, one can arguerationally, perhaps persuasively,for either litigant. For the Uni-versity as petitioner: The Four-teenth Amendment, the languageof which does not include race, wasenacted to protect a minority andcannot be used to compromise.thatintent. For Bakke as respondent:"The Constitution is color-blind and,as laudable as programs of minor-ity preferment may be, discrim-ination based upon race violates afundamental principle of Americanlaw.

Regardless of perspective ordisposition, there is little argumentthat varying legal precedents andpolicy considerations provide theCourt many bases for a decision,either wide-ranging or confined to

,the particular issues and facts of

the case at bar. Contrary to somespeculation, it is unlikely that theCourt will choose not to rule, as inthe previous DcFunis case whichwas held moot. Among possibledecisions and their rationales arethe following:

1. Find for the University,holding that the Fourteenth Am-endment does not prohibit eitherracial preference or race-restrictedquotas where the purpose is not"invidious" discrimination but ra-ther the promotion of equality. As abasis for such a ruling, the Courtcould cite a recent decision inwhich it upheld state use of racialquotas to redraw electoral districtsfor the purpose of increasing

. minority voting power.2. Find hroadly for Bakke,

upholding the lower court rulingand dismissing the use of quotas ~and conceivably the concept ofaffirmative action - on the legalprinciple cited below that the intentof the equal protection clause was' 'to secure equality of treatment toall, (and) is incompatible with thepremise that some races may beafforded a higher degree of pro-tection against unequal treatmentthan others."

3. Find narrowly for Bakke,

A Dilenima OfRights

by Erie SamuelsonThis month the Supreme Court

heard what may well be the mostimportant civil rights case of thisdecade, in fact since the Brovmdecision of 1954. The case, TheRegents of The University ofCalifornia vs. Allan bakke involvesone of the most controversial socialissues, that of "benign" discrim-ination to increase minority enroll-ment in professional schools, and islikely to have a profound effect onsocial policy in the area ofAffirmative action. What make theissues involved such a social andpolitical dilenima?

Apart from the central problemof how to overcome discriminationagainst the disadvantaged, theBakke case is one of rights inconflict. Bakke's right to individualconsideration in a racially neutralmanner is in conflict with the rightsof minority groups to attain socio-economic equality. Clearly these"rights" are of a different charac-ter from each other; such a conflictcreates an extraordinarily difficultdecision for the Court to render. Atthe same time, a judicial interpre-tation of the Bakke case may be apoor forum for the resolution of thisdilemma; for any Court opinion is

bound to disatisfy many groups inAmerican society. Justice OliverWendell Holmes once \ wrote ofsuch cases that "bad cases makebad law." And yet the American

''political system increasingly relieson government-by-judiciary to at-tempt to resolve the conflicts whichpolitical mechanisms fail to copew i t h . ..:..' ''. '."•;.',

Allen Bakke's position is sup-ported on constitutional grounds bythe "equal protection1' clause ofthe Fourteenth Ammendment, andby the provisions of the 1964 CivilRights Act guaranteeing non-dis-crimination in education and hiringon the basis of race, creed, or color.It is clear that the University ofCalifornia, Davis medical schoolused a dual system of admissions,one for regular candidates and onefor minority candidates. Under thissystem from 1971 to 1974, 272whites applied as "disadvantaged"students under the special admis-sions process by which sixteenplaces were filled. Not one wasaccepted. Mr. Bakke, applyingunder the regular admissions pro-cess by which eighty-four studentswere chosen, was rejected eventhough his record and quaiifi-

cont. on page 7

restricting its ruling to the uniquecircumstances of the School ofMedicine's admission policies andBakke's standing as an applicant,and leaving unanswered the moregeneral legal issues pertaining toquotas and affirmative action.

4. Accept the position recom-mended in the amlcus curiae briefsubmitted by the Justice Depart-ment, upholding affirmative actionin principle and remanding thecase to a lower court for adetermination as to whether Bakkewould have been admitted under asystem employing one procedurefor all candidates with race beingone of several acceptable mea-sures, which the brief argues isappropriate. As a basis for sanc-tioning affirmative action, theCourt could cite a 1971 Court ofAppeals ruling, which it let stand,approving the use of hiring time-tables and quotas as a means toincrease minority employment inthe construction industry.

There is no easy avenue oranswer available to the High Courtin the case of Allan Bakke. It is notthe purpose of this analysis tosuggest otherwise nor, in view ofits limited scope, to imply that the

discussion here is comprehensiveon either the issues before theCourt or the merits of the parties'arguments. There is too muchinvolved - fundamental questionsof fairness and justice which go be-yond the confines of law. Theburden for a decision rests not withthe Constitution but with the Court,To be sure, the Constitutionremains this country's primarystatement of legal principles. But itdoes not exist in a vacuum. Ratherthe Constitution is what theSupreme Court -- that is, nineindividuals -- say it is.

One thing is tor certain. Theissues raised in The University ofCalifornia vs. Bakke' will not beput to rest by court decision, theywill remain for further considera-tion and debate among bothjustices and laymen. As AllanBakke argued his case before theHigh Court, another individual wasby court decree entering the Schoolof Medicine at Davis—Rita Green-wald Clancy.

Pro Affirmative Actionby Andrew Walsh

Reverse discrimination is anugly phrase. However, it is one thatis heard with increasing frequencyin our society. In the past fewweeks the Supreme. Court hasbegun to consider one man'sattempt to erase the term and theconcept from our lives.

Allan Bakke claims that he wasdiscriminated against because ofhis race when he was deniedadmission to medical school at theUniversity of California at Davis.He claims that because a number ofminority students who presentedinferior academic credentials wereadmitted through a special pro-gram designed to attract minoritystudents he and other whitestudents were placed in an inferiorcatagory.

Bakke is attacking a conceptcalled affirmative action, or reversediscrimination, depending uponwhether one approves of the idea ornot. Affirmative action programswere conceived in the late 1960'sby the nation's educational insti-tutions, governments, and busi-nesses to raise the minisculeproportion of minority group mem-bers, i.e. Blacks, Hispanics, Asi-ans, and American Indians, train-ing for positions of power andinfluence. In general, the idea hasbeen fairly successful, programshave raised the percentage ofminority students enrolled in pro-fessional schools from about 2% in1968 to almost 10% now. Theyhave also squeezed out a number ofperhaps quantitatively better quali-fied non-minority applicants, andwill continue to do so.

I hope that the Supreme Courtwill rule in favor of the specialprograms for minority group mem-bers. Since I am not adept atjuggling legal precedents I willoffer a personal argument to try tosupport my position.

I believe that American societyis beset with problems. I alsobelieve that we should try to solvethese problems. Foremost amongthese problems is the submergedquarter of our society. A brief strollor bus ride from campus takes oneinto a different world—one that

Trinity students at large studiouslyavoid contact with. The neigh-borhoods to our immediate north

' are pale examples of the nightmarelife of poverty and desperation thatmillions of people are locked intoin our cities and rural areas.

While minorities by no meanshave a monopoly on poverty, mostof those living below the officialpoverty line, which is very lowindeed, are minority group mem-bers. Blacks have been the par-ticular victims of our society. WhileAmerica has not been overly kindto any minority immigrant group, ithas, as a society, devestated theBlacks.

For several hundred years mostBlacks were literally enslaved andBlacks, formed the only significantinvoluntary immigrant group. Afterthe Civil War slavery ended but,for most Blacks, freedom did notbegin. Legal inferiority was therule in large parts of the nation,hostility in virtually all.

The area in which I grew up,Washington, D.C., was deeplyaffected by segregation. I remem-ber "White Only" signs on waterfountains and restroom doors. Themunicipal swimming pool in myarea which was almost two thirdsblack was segregated until 1963. Awoman I know remembers beingforced to put on white gloves at thedoor of a large department storewhen shopping there with hergrandmother. Segregation is notsomething far away and forgotten;it is of our t i m e "

The wounds of a heritage ofslavery and segregation did notvanish with the civil rights move-ment, the Civil Rights Act of 1964,or the Fair Employment and FairHousing Acts. We should notdelude ourselves into thinking thatsince the Blacks are no longerlegally victimized everything isfine. The problems of impoverishedlife, unemployment, bad housing,bad medical care, bad education,and discrimination cause a dismalself-perpetuating cycle.

The open sores in our societycaused by poverty and discrimin-ation have no panacea. Realistically

speaking, no significant effort toovercome the practical problems ofpoverty can be expected soon,Nobody has any sure solutions andour brief effort at sprinkling dollarsaround in the 1960's didn't last.

However, among the few toolsthat we have that offer hope for thefuture are the affirmative actionprograms. As long as minimumprofessional standards are guar-anteed, these programs producemen and women who are equippedto be successful in our society.While admittedly few affirmativeaction students come from verydeprived "ghetto" backgrounds,they do offer the base for a minorityelite1 and offer concrete and usefulservices to their communities. (

The nation's minority commun-ities, both urban and rural, havebeen shortchanged by the non-minority professional community'The nation needs minority• pro-fessionals to serve communities, toserve as role models, and as livingproof that the society is notcompletely a racket designed toexploit the minorities. ••'.''••.

The most significant problemwith affirmative action is that itdamages the great American myth:

that any man who works hard cangain his goal on raw merit. It is alsosaid to run afoul of the .14*Amendment to the Constitution,which forbids discrimination ongrounds of race. TQ apply *nese

standards to affirmative action nowis horribly unfair. To quash affir-mative action on the grounds that itdenies men equal opportunitywould be tragic. ,

If we are to have 'equalopportunity we need judiciousprograms like affirmative action.Perhaps someday the argumentmade by Allan Bakke will be juston more than an individual basis-However, at present, his argumentis based upon an assumption whicis a travesty of decenty: that sincethe great days and great successesof the civil rights movement areover, everything is fair and square-Affirmative action is one of the t& •concrete tools that we have to fl>P* •our society towards health. ™n e e d i t . •' .",':'..:',.• ,':.:•••':•• :-:^'/--

AT thesame time I was arguing that theuse of the terms "self-appointedguardians" to the national securityestablishment and its cover-up ofUS adventures in Cambodia.

5) Lastly Norman claims thatexcept for a fleeting reference, Idevote no attention to the com-patability of non-disruptive protestand free speech. Norman "won-ders" why I didn't deal more withthis issue. One answer is that sincethe AFC proposal was not urgingus to make non-disruptive protestpunishable, there was no need todefend it against the AFC proposal.The so-called fleeting reference I

do make to the issue in my talk is asfollows: "Crucially no distinctionis made in the AFC proposalbetween a disconcerting protestprotected by free speech and adisruption such that a typicaldisruption would be punishable.Such a distinction must be speci-fied and laid down beforehand suchthat protesters know just what sortsof activity will make them liable topunishment." p. 4 I think that thisfleeting reference makes at leastone very important point. Unlessthe AFC -proposal can specify therelevant distinction that marksdisruption rules regarding liabilityto punishment for disruption vio-late the crucial publicity and claritycanons of just rules necessary toour developing legitimate expecta-tions with regard to them. In myopinion, a point such as that madeabove would have been a moreappropriate target for analysis thanthe issues raised by Norman.

cations were demonstrably betterthan those of the minority appli-cants admitted under the specialprocedures. These facts underminethe University's case in thatBakke's apponents have not ade-quately defined whether such anadmissions program is designed tohelp racial or ethnic groups per seor to help all "underprivileged"individuals. Under this system ofquotas, it is difficult to define whois entitled to special consideration,and the burden of proof is onBakke's opponents to demonstratethat standards have been appliedevenly.

Any system of, quotas usingrace, ethnicity, or sex as opposed toother catagories of qualification foradmission bears a major presump-tion against its constitutionalityunder the Fourteenth Ammend-ment. The effect of the medicalschool's system is to artificallycontrol the size of racial and ethnicgroups in its classes. The conten-tion that some candid dates shouldbe favored because of past dis-crimination implies that such ap-plicants would be disadvantagedunder present circumstances. Canthis distinction really be applied to

whole groups whether it consists ofblacks, women, or any other"minority?"

In addition, the medical schooldid not elaborate what standardsshall determine how many of agroup are admitted. Would thenumbers be governed by petcen- •tage of the group in the U. S.population, by arbitrary choice ofuniversity officials, or by estimateof the numbers of minority can-didates necessary to facilitate adesired social result? The oppo-nents of Bakke's position have notadequately answered this chargeeither. While universities may findthe use of quotas a beneficial wayof increasing minority visibilityin professional schools, there is aquestion of constitutional protec-tion at stake. As Justice William O.Douglas said of these admissionprocedures, "by law, administra-tion convenience is not allowed tojustify racial discrimination.''

Ultimately, the quota systemswill not accomplish what they aredesigned to achieve. The minoritiesgraduated from professionalschools under special admissionwill be subjected to the stigma ofinferior qualification whether such

a generalization is legitimate ornot. There is little proof, contraryto university claims, that anincrease in minority professionalswill result in improved health orwelfare for the truly "disadvant-aged/' the American poor. Thecost of professional education andthe desire for upward mobilitywill direct law and medical gradu-ates toward better-paying jobs.

The tragedy of quota systems,in the final analysis, is theadmission that government hadfailed so far in its attempts toupgrade the education, health, and

welfare levels of minorities. Aquota system, like that in this case,is a weak substitute for programswhich would challange the realproblems of poverty. There isincreasing doubt that more educa-tion is the solution to unemploy-ment and the economic problemsof the disadvantaged. The realdanger inherent in the Bakke caseis that "reverse discrimination"will be used as an alternative to themore difficult process of attackingthe genuine economic and socialproblems of American society.

Parking And ProtectionWith the closing of the parking lot Immediately south of

Jackson-Wheaton-Smith, the security situation on campus forthose who own cars has become critical. The TRIPOD haslearned that the College does not plan to construct a newSouth Campus parking area when the new dormitory isfinished next year. This is inexcusable.

Technically there is no crucial shortage of parking spacesfor the total number of cars registered. The problem lies inthe distribution of parking lots among faculty, administration,staff and students. Students do not wish to park in areas at aconsiderable distance from their dormitories. There areseveral reasons, least of which is the factor of inconvenience.Safety and security are the major concerns of a majority ofTrinity students.

The TRIPOD does not place blame for the situation uponthe College's security force. The College is at fault for not

providing Security with the resources for more comprehen-sive patrolling procedures. There are emergency phonesscattered in a few buildings around campus. They are notpublicized and there are not enough. Well-lighted emergencyphones should be conveniently located outside in frequentlyused parking areas, not tucked away in the basement ofSeabury Hall.

We do not expect superb security for our yearlyregistration fee of $20, but we have every right to demandprotection for almost $6000 per year. We find this notunreasonable.

"Misplaced priorities" seems to be applicable to too muchof College policy this year. The TRIPOD feels that the Collegehas a commitment to secure the safety of all members of thecommunity to as great a degree as is feasible.

Vote Of Thanks To Prof. PukaTo the Editor:

We as a college community oweProfessor Puka a vote of thanks.Those of us who have beendefending free speech as a matterof course over the years did not

.' give enough attention to the•''*. '•"Academic Freedom Committee's

statement on disruptions of collegemeetings. We did not attend thehearings last year because weassumed there were no debatableissues involved. We've growncareless in our thinking.

It was not until Bill Pukapresented his long, somewhatscattered attack on the report to ashockingly small audience of stu-dents and faculty membeis thatsome of us began to ask the rightquestions.

It is easy enough to attack BillPuka's statement. It is so long, so

diverse, there is something foreveryone to hate. It is impossible todefend in its entirety. He has,however, raised some serious,genuine issues which led me andothers to vote against the AcademicFreedom Committee's report. Al-though the motion passed essen-tially without debate, the argu-ments have continued— as theyshould.

The overall weakness of theAcademic Freedom Committee's

~ statement is its implication thatfreedom of speech is the mostfundamental value of our society.This simply isn't true. Freedom ofspeech is the very first privilege tobe withdrawn when a state isthreatened. Relatively liberal pres-idents such as Lincoln, Wilson, andFranklin Roosevelt all proposedsuch limitations in time of war and

were supported by Congress. Thethreat to the society does not haveto be war. Puritans, struggling forsurvival, did not encourage freespeech as we know it. Today we arequestioning the right of the mediato report fully on acts of terror forfear of training new terrorists.

Free speech is a treasured valuewhich we may enjoy as a privilegeexcept under conditions of threat.

Response To Ff anconiaTo the Editor

I read Mr. Paul Sher's letterfrom Franconia College with (forlack of a better word) interest. Thepresident of Franconia, it seems,washes dishes.

Infact, were I the president ofFranconia and commissioned toimpart to Mr. Sher 1. the rudimen-tary precepts of Society and 2. thenecessarily structured discipline ofa liberal education, I shouldconsider scouring pots and pans aswell in expiation for my manifestfailure to do either.

Mr. Sher laments the "dan-gerous effects" both academic andthe meagre remnants of parentalauthority have had on him and hisclassmates. Even Franconia, itseems, has not proven sufficientlyimpervious to authoritarianism."The president," Mr. Sher states,"has more power than one wouldexpect in an eqiialitarian arrange-ment."

If Mr. Sher makes anythingclear, it is that he finds his status inSociety unsatisfactory; indeed, heseems to find Soceity itself un-satisfactory for any number ofreasons, mostly unspecified. Gen-erally his dissatisfaction appears tostem from the fact that "for themost part faculty and adminis-trators do not view students astheir equals." He reinforces thisobservation with the rhetoricalquestion: "And how can Trinitycall itself free when there aregrades and major requirements

Having searched in vain for acoherent train of thought in Mr,Sher's letter, I discovered theshortcomings of skim-reading. Mr.Sher clearly states in his thirdparagraph: "Student involvementis the essential topic of this letter.'.'His argument, as I understand it, isthat students should have "power"equal to administrators and faculty,though, as Mr. Sher concedes,students lack the experience andwisdom of the latter. From this heskips to the "myth" of Trinity'ssupposed political neutrality withthis gasper: "...by not choosing tooppose our society as it exists,

by Eric GrevstadIt was a drizzling Thursday

morning on campus; the rainpattered against the window of ourquarters at 410-A Northam Towersin an irregular, tapping rhythm. Ilounged in an armchair, trying toget through some biology notes forOpen Period. My roommate, theinsufferable Sherbert Cones, pacedback and forth in front of thewindow, his hands thrust into hisbathrobe pockets, pausing everymoment to glare down at the LongWalk.

Any reverie we may have hadwas interrupted by Cones'spinning around towards me,gesturing back at the window andknocking over the Venus-flytrap inthe process. "Wheaton, she's notcoming!" Cones cried, throwinghimself onto the sofg in despair.

"Who is it this time?" I asked,not looking up from my notes."You've been looking out thewindow for her for two weeks."

"I don't know her name,"Cones said wistfully. "Ever since Iemptied, the ashtrays on her,though, I have watched her passbeneath us on the Quad every day.She has an 11:30 class in Seabury,"he added.

"Why didn't you call her thenand apologize?"

"I did," Cones sighed. "I wasgoing to take her out that night, butshe had to wash her hair."

"Cones, this is gettingridiculous," I scolded him. "Youshould simply go up to her andintroduce yourself."

"How can I?" Cones cried. "Idon't even know the first thingabout her." He considered. "Asidefrom the fact that she is right-handed, weighs 112 pounds, wentto a small public school in theMidwest, lived in North Campuslast year, broke her arm in a sailingaccident some years ago, likeschocolate cake, has a brother, andwalks like an English major, I candeduce nothing about her per-sonally."

"Well, she won't be going toSeabury today," I answered."Probably gone home for OpenPeriod."

Cones frowned. "You're notsupposed to go home over OpenPeriod. Doesn't she read herHandbook?"

"Neverertheless," I replied,"everyone goes home over OpenPeriod to study. See her nextMonday, Cones."

"No, my dear Wheaton." Myfriend jumped to his feet. "Theycan study in the library, for thatmatter. No, there is some deviltrybehind this Open Period business;

and I intend to find out what it is."Sherbert Cones crossed to thebureau and pulled his Adidas out ofthe top drawer.

"But, Cones," I complained, "Ihad wanted to stay indoors andlisten to the South African ministerShearar's address on the radio!"

"That is mighty white of you,Wheaton, but there is more im-portant business at hand." Conesthrew his bathrobe into a cornerand took his Burberry from thecloset, "were you going by anychance past the campus centertoday?"

"Yes;" I said quickly, "as—""—as a Mather of fact, you

were going there now." Conessmiled infuriatingly. "Good try,Wheaton. Very good try."

For the next hour I toured thecampus, looking, as Cones hadsaid, for "anybody doing anything?'

My friend had been right asalways; indeed, even the mostpopular spots around campus werepractically deserted. There was noone playing pinball. There was noone hanging around FerrisAthletic. There were no more thantwo or three Psych students in thefishbowl, and no one at all on AFloor. Open Period had eliminatedthe students, but left the buildingsintact.

It was with these thoughts that Ireturned to Northam and wearilymounted the stairs to our room,making way to let a distinguishedsilver-haired gentleman pass as Idid so. I wondered what lunchCones might be having at thatmoment.

Suddenly I turned, images ofthe Matriculation Book flashingthrough my mind. That worthygentleman was no stranger;meeting him on the staircase ofNortham Towers, I had almostforgotten his station. "PresidentLockwood, sir!" I called, bowingand genuflecting upon the stairs.President Lockwood turned affablyin my direction, nodded, andlooked me in the eye.

"Converted on first Downes,"Sherbert Cones said.

"Cones!" I cried in amazement.It was my own friend and room-mate, resembling our President tothe life!

Cones laughed happily. "Yes, itis I. You know my love of disguise,Wheaton; for this affair I am nowinvestigating, I could not help buttry out the latest addition tomy. .ah. . r e p e r t o i r e . " Hestraightened and cleared his throat."The purpose of the liberal artseducation is practical wisdom," hethundered, lifting an eyebrow atme for approval.

"You have got the voice downperfectly," I admitted, "though youcould use some work on the hair.Surely this is the most ingeniouspose since the time you disguisedyourself as the entire women'scross-country team."

"A successful ruse, that." Conessaid. "Even Lanier Drew could nottell me apart. For this case,however, I needed to pass as afaculty member, so as to gain

• access to the administrative officeswithout suspicion."

"But what of the time you woreyour best suit and disguisedyourself as the German in-structor?"

"Yes, I was rather Hansen thatnight," Cones confessed. "But thisOpen Period business, I think,reaches up into the highest levels ofthe academic calendar; there issome interest in this case,Wheaton, and I will not rest until itis solved, At any rate, I must be off;the game is at hand." With a waveof his hand, he was gone, slidingwith Presidential dignity down thebannister and out onto the Quad.From our window, I watched himheading towards WilliamsMemorial, greeting students andauthorizing course changes; thenhe was gone on the north end of theLong Walk.

I did not see my friend for therest of the day; he did not comeback all afternoon and missed oneof his favorite dinners, Saga roastprime ribs ("Of what?" he wouldinvariably jest). In fact, I had spenta quiet night studying the nervoussystem and was preparing for bedwhen Cones, out of his PresidentLockwood disguise and flushedwith excitement, bounded up thestairs and headed for therefrigerator. "All is solved,Wheaton; Open Period is settledonce and for all."

"Excellent!" I congratulatedhim. "What did you do?"

"It was too obvious," Cones wassaying. "I should have seen it allalong—Wheaton! You ate all theSara Lee cake—"

"You had most of it already," Isaid defensively, "Did you find theanswer in the administration of-fices?"

"On the contrary." Conesanswered. "I found it in OpenPeriod itself."

"I beg your pardon, Cones;where did you find it?"

Sherbert Cones settled into achair and gazed at the ceiling."Dungeons and Dragons," he saidevenly.

I grasped his meaning in aninstant. "The English Departmentoffices, Cones!"

"Exactly," my friend replied,drawing a piece of paper and apencil towards him. "The answerwas as elementary as the nearestEnglish grammar. Tell, me,Wheaton—Here Cones fixed thepoint of his pencil to the newsprintand marked a single dot thus: ."What does that mark mean toyou?"

"It is a period!" I cried ex-citedly, "An open period, Cones!"

Sherbert Cones leaned back andsmiled beaufifically. "Yes," hesaid, "but is it not also known as afull stop?"

Once again, I could only gape inamazement at my friend's insight;everything became clear in aninstant. "Cones," I said in ad-miration, "this is the most brilliantsolution of all!"

"Isn't it, though?" Conescontinued modestly. "Thus, whatwe have always read as a periodbecomes in fact a vacation—a sortof five-day. Thanksgiving—and,there is no discrepancy betweenthe intent of Open Period and itsmeaning." Cones leaned back intohis chair and popped a piece ofapple into his mouth, chewing andsmiling at the same time withoutmarked success at either.

"Which discovery," I added,"should no doubt end the con-fusion among students and facultyon the subject." There was a knockon the door. "Perhaps even thoseTripod editorials on it."

"Hi. Is Sherbert Cones here?"An attractive blonde girl stood

in our doorway; a girl who spokewith a Midwestern accent, carriedan English notebook in her righthand, and looked to weigh about112 pounds.

Behind me, there was the soundof someone choking on an apple."Just a moment, please," I saidhastily, closing the door on heragain. "I'll see if he's in." I hurriedback to the living room, where myfriend was already straightening hishair in front of the mirror."Cones!" I said. "Is it she? Why isshe here? What are you going todo?" My friend looked at me

tolerantly as he stepped to thedoor.

"The purpose of the liberal artseducation is practical wisdom,"Sherbert Cones said.(Editor's note: Sherbert Cones willbe back.)

Sex UpsGrades

CPS—Homework was never somuch fun. Results of an extensivestudy show that as sex in one's lifeincreases so do one's grades.

Martin Segrera, a sociologist atthe University of Puerto Rico,conducted a survey among 1000students at the University in orderto find out if sex plays any functionin how well a student performs inthe classroom.

Married students and otherswho participated in sexual inter-course frequently showed gradesthat were almost 20 percent higherthan their fellow students.

Males and females both saidthat they noticed no increase ingrades as intercourse increased,but in researching their recordsover previous years it was evidentthat the grades had gone up inaccordance.

Contemplation OfOpen Period

by Nick NobleFloods continue, and cries of

"The Yankees are number one!"still linger in the air; but what thehell goes on around here over openperiod?

It is supposed to be a time torelax and unwind. Yet each nightthe Library is packed with seekersafter wisdom, all engaged infeverish attempts to batch up on allthat they missed by relaxing andunwinding too frequently.

The Long Walk is silertt. Manyhave gone home to celebrate theirfleeting freedom. Others havesought the solace of their own (orsomeone else's) room for warmthand shelter from the wet and cold.

"But what is there to do?"someone asks. You can always goto Cinestudio. But one night andboth films are done. The new bill offare doesn't make its appearanceuntil Sunday evening. If you'refeeling rich you can go to the firstfilm on Tuesday and save thesecond for a rainy day, likeWednesday.

There are a couple of finelectures scheduled; but look:they're both on the same night atthe same time. McCook and LifeScience must be ehgaged in aratings war,

Ah, here's something for all youfolks who are afraid of beingmugged on Broad Street aftermidnight: an introduction to themartial arts on Wednesday and aKung Fu class on Thursday. Not

everybody's into that kind of thing,though.

There's a faculty meetingWednesday morning. Still, I have afeeling that might be closed: youknow, like a frat party onHomecoming Weekend. Atnoon there are football highlightsin the Alumni Lounge, but thatwon't take long.

"There's got to be somethingelse," declares an inebriated fresh-person. Why, there is! Wednesdayis Mickey Mouse's 50th Birthday,and there's a party in the Pub! Iknow, I sent over 200 MickeyMouse Birthday cards. Well, it wassomething to do.

Wait until Sunday night andyou can brush up on your IsraeliDancing in the Washington Room.But by then it's almost over.

Of course, the most thrillingevent of Open Period has got to bewhen each and every soul receiveshis or her College Directory (thisyear in a horrible shade of what canonly be politely called "fire hydrantyellow").

If worse comes to worse, there'sone thing left to do. You can standout in "the rain and watch all thenew construction while you'retrying to figure out where you'regoing to park your car tomorrow.

Finally, speaking of rain,remember this. The good Lordmade a solemn promise that itwould never again rain for fortydays and nights. But he never saidanything about thirty-nine.

"Disruption - A Reply to Even Norman Miller"byBUIPnka

Last week's TRIPOD con-tained a letter and two articlesintended to be critical of myposition on free speech and disrup-tion, The letter, written by astudent named Eric Grevstad andthe article written by instructorJack Chatfield attacked theTRIPOD version (and perhapshearsay accounts) of the talk I gaveon disruption last week. As I notedin my own letter to the editor, theTRIPOD synopsis failed in manycrucial ways to represent my viewcorrectly. Indeed, the views thereattributed to me had the ring ofprimitive SDS rhetoric, circa 1969.1would join with my two would-becritics in pointing out the inade-quacies of such views.

It pleases me greatly that atleast one student on campusexpressed publicly a deep concernfor freedom. I invite him and othersto spread that concern to the issueof whether AFC policy governingstudents should become law with-out student consent. This too is animportant freedom issue, is it not?

It would have been best for JackChatfield to have come to my talkor to have asked for a copy of it (asdid Norman Miller), before criticiz-ing it. For as far as I can tell, thereis little or no incompatibilitybetween my position and hiscriticism of it. He holds, as do I, a)that free speech is not an uncondi-tional right, that there are legitim-ate grounds for limiting free speechin certain types of circumstances,b) that freedom is often usedirresponsibly, c) that civil libertycan and has often been over-whelmed by political might d) thatfree speech and debate do notguarantee truth, e) that disruptionis most often a dangerous, ill-considered and self-defeating poli-tical strategy f) that sometimes freespeech has been used to goodeffect, and g) that a collegecommunity has a special responsi-bility to defend free expression ofideas. Where Jack and I may seemto disagree is on the issue ofwhether, as he puts it, "In acollege community that defense offree speech becomes a categoricalimperative." Once it is noted thatthe right to free speech is condi-tional, however, the disrupter canagree that this right should alwaysbe defended, as can I. :

My objective to the AFCproposal was based primarily on its

.. contrasting of free speech withtyranny when the crucial issue fordisruption is what conditions justifythe legitimate overriding of certainof these freedoms, to a certaindegree. As Jack notes, "It is acommonplace that free speech isnot an absolute right in a democrat-ic society, nor an absolute value inany morally consistent philosophi-cal system." I argued in my paperthat the expression of moralintolerance toward what is niorallyintolerable may be both a moraland political good and may incertain rare and complex cases bejustified even where certain prima-facie civil liberties are interferedwith. I argued also that the moralimpropriety of, e.g., an illegitimatedisruption, is often not sufficientgrounds by itself to justify ourmaking disruption punishable.(This accords with the generalproviso in US and Trinity lawagainst enforcing morality.) Ofcourse there may be differences ofopinion as to where the line ofjustification is to be drawn. Why Iobject to the AFC proposal is that itattempts to justify punishment ofdisrupters across the board withoutspeaking to issues of greater andlesser legitimacy in certain disrup-tions as opposed to others. .

The points I tried to emphasizein my paper were, a) that respectfor extensive civil liberties and forthe tactic of disruption are, in

general compatible, b) that rulesapplying to disruption should speakto the features and purposes ofdisruption as a moral-politicalstrategy as well as to the freespeech issue, c) that it is possible toinstitutionalize a type of disruptionso that the purposes of disruptioncan be accomplished with even lessinterference in free speech than isusual in such circumstances, d)that the crucial problems of "whodecides" and "by what procedure"should be taken up directly whendefining the legitimacy or illegi-timacy of disruption. (Normallythese questions are ignored orassumed hopeless despite the factthat we have devised voting', trail,and committee procedures fordeciding issues even more serious,e.g., imprisonment), and, e) thatoften the evil effects of disruptionsat colleges such as Trinity are notamply dangerous or weighty tojustify making disruption punish-able according to special collegerules.

I hesitate to reply to NormanMiller's lengthy critique of (attackon?) my position and me. There is adanger here of obscuring the issues

• at hand with issues of personalitywhich Norman seems to introduce.To avoid this problem of person-alization I will attempt to keep mycomments as brief and dispassion-ate as possible. Norman's accountof my talk strikes me as inadequatein two general ways. The first isthat it does not take up most of myarguments and my most centralarguments regarding disruption.The second is that it attributes tome views which I mention in mytalk but which I clearly do not thereendorse. At one point in my talk Istate, "This of course is not theonly, way to make a case fordisruption. I would not argue thecase for disruption in this way."(p.8) Such a sentence should havehelped Norman to be a bit morecareful in interpreting my viewsthan he appears to have been.

In criticizing my mention of thefact that disruption can and some-times does unwittingly lead togreater concern for the protectionof free speech thereby, Normanappears to be criticizing myendorsement of a crude utilitarian. formula, e.g., * violate individualrights to maximize freedomsociety-wide. I would not endorsethis view nor need 1 endorse it toclaim that disruption (a purportedevil) can have the effect offurthering free speech (a good). Ido not see why Norman considers it."dubious" that "good can comefrom evil." Surely it often does.Yet just as surely it is almostalways wrong to advocate per-forming wrong actions on thegrounds that they advance thegood. I would not and did notadvocate such actions or policies. .

Aside from this first point,: Norman raises ten additional criti-cisms, five of which are somewhatphilosophical and three of whichare ad hominem (name-calling) inform. Let us first consider theaddition, accomplished through thedrawing of a false analogy or

' comparison. Norman notes thatWilliam F. Buckley, when workingfor Joseph McCarthy advocated theposition that, "Error has norights," that freedom of speechonly covers the speaking of truths.Norman compares (pairs, inter-mingles) this doctrine with my viewwhich he quotes as follows: "Evenif it may be a people's right todecide on what views are good orbad, sbund or unsound, this doesnot mean that all views are entitledto be expressed or heard... All thatis necessary to a free decision Ishould think are relevant alter-native views, plausible views,non-deceptive and non-false views.In fact, as noted, some viewsprobably impair sound and free

judgment because they are falseand deceptive." (p.9) My view isthen supposedly similar to Mc-Carthyite Buckley's, because I amsupposedly denying entitlements(rights) to erroneous views. If youwill look at Norman's quotationfrom P. 9 of my paper you willnotice three dots after the word"heard" indicating that he omittedpart of my text. In fact Normanomitted one sentence which runs,"It may follow for other reasonsthat people have a right to decidewhich views are right, and wrong,good and bad, sound and un-sound." (p.9.) When one adds thisbrief deleted sentence to Norman'squotation of my text and considersthat I endorsed free speech rightsin my talk, the following isessential to drawing any relevantanalogy between my view and thatof McCarthyite Buckley. For I, likeBuckley, must be shown to denythe right to be wrong per se. I donot do this, as the resurrectedsentence from my text shows.Secondly, it becomes clearer that Iam not in this quoted passagemaking a point about the limitationof free speech at all, as Normanseems to have mistakenly conclu-ded. Rather I am pointing out thelogical relation and distinctionbetween free speech and freedomof access to information. Thisdistinction and its implications, Iheld in my talk, were blurred in theAFC proposal. Norman seems atthe same time to be misreading myposition and to be blatently dis-torting it through a form ofquotation which serves the point hewishes to make rather than ac-curacy. This was not a sinister butonly an importantly careless mis-take on Norman's part. Normanapparently deleted the sentence inquestion thinking it unimportantwhen he should have recognizedthat it was crucial, that it under-mined the point he was trying tomake.

A second ad hominem argu-ment was stated as follows: "Whatis in the 18 pages (of Puka's talk)?More than anyone jealous of hissanity would on a rainy afternooncare to deal with systematically.''We might add to this quoteNorman's indirect claim that mypaper counts as an abuse of theright to make a fool of myself,because I have outdone myself inthis regard. Steven Minot, one ofthe three or so non-philosophyfaculty at my talk wrote me a lettera week later. Though he did notagree with some of my points, as heunderstood them, he stated that mytalk had caused him to thinkseriously about the AFC proposaland that it had influenced him tovote against it. All members of mydepartment have given me per-mission to state publicly thatthey thought my talk raised manysubstantive'and sound points andthat it was argued well philosoph-ically. Apparently many studentswho attended the talk concurredwith this opinion. Given this, I feelthat Norman's claims or insinua-tions regarding the worthlessnessor foolishness of my talk requiresome additional solid justificationso as not to be considered eitherill-formed or prejudicial.

The two most puzzling andrepeated criticisms Norman offersof my paper are: 1) that it was long(18 pgs. long), and 2) that myarguments were not originated byme. I am not sure why either ofthese qualities of my paper aredefects. My paper took the stan-dard one hour to read. Moreover,the soundness of an idea does notreside in its originality. (The AFCfree speech argument is notoriginal.) I suspect that the failureto recognize the fact that my talkdid in fact refurbish older views,however, caused my critics toattack those views as mine. Briefly,

my reply to Norman's five re-maining theoretical points are asfollows: 1) I claimed in my talk thatperceived right violations due todisruptions at Trinity increasedstudent interest in defending freespeech. I had in mind letterswritten to the TRIPOD as well asthe huge attendance and spiriteddebate at the all-college meetingfollowing the marine sit-in. Thefact that, as Norman points out,there is a lot of apathy aroundregarding free speech and thatattendance at AFC free speechmeetings was low does not seem toundermine my point at all. 2)Norman claims that my distinctionbetween a violation and sub-

; version of free speech is a sophisticdistinction without a differencebecause historically the two havebeen shown to occur together.Norman cites as his historicalexample, pre-Nazi Germany. Iwould like to point out first that Itook the distinction in questionfrom the test of the AFC proposal.Secondly it should be noted thatwhat is-true of pre-Nazi Germanyor for nation-states in general neednot be true for the specialsituations involving law and free-dom at colleges and Trinity Collegein particular. Norman again seemsto be missing my point. He isattributing an historical claim to mewhere I am making a claim about alogical distinction which may applyto our understanding of history. 3)Norman accuses me of inconsis-tency in the following sense: Ifdisruption is designed to protectpeople from hearing damaging(deceptive?) information, then dis-

ruptions should not be advocatedas rarities but should be extendedgenerally, protecting members ofan audience even as they travelhome to East Granby. WhatNorman does not mention is that 1offer many arguments for dis-ruption, portraying protection ofthe audience as a weak one whichcannot stand on its own in mostcases. Thus why I am not forgeneral protective disruption isbecause I'm not, (in general, infavor of particular protective di$.ruptions - no inconsistency, Myarguments supporting the putativejustifiability of disruptions arearguments for the right of moralintolerance directed primarily ag-ainst the speakers right to speak,not audience power or rights tohear which I believe to be moreeasily overridable on particularoccasions. Later in his talkNorrnancalls disruptions "essentially sym-bolic acts aimed at dramatizing andreinforcing the views of disrupters,Succeeding in silencing a speakermay add an additional measure ofsatisfaction. But I submit, pro-tecting of innocent minds fromcontamination is utterly irrelevantto the process." I submittedsomething similar to this position,though a bit more moderate, withregard to protection in disruption, Iwould say, however, that fullyjustified disruption is a demon-stration of moral militancy andpower, drama and personal satis-factions aside.

4) Norman seems to claim atone point that I a m portraying theAFC as sexist and in favor of

'RidiculousSlur'

To the Editor:Eric Grevstad's superficial and

ineffective attempt at musicalsatire in last weeks Tripod is aninsult to any music fan at Trinity.Not only does he fail to be funny(the prime test of any piece ofsatire) but he also shows grossignorance in regards to the musicalscene of. the present day, as hisdefinition of "popular music"shows.

More importantly, his totallyridiculous slur against WRTC onlymagnifies his supreme stupidity.Firstly, the song that he refers tohearing on WRTC is by one of themost popular rock groups of ourtime (by almost anyone's stand-ards). The Who.

Secondly, the particular piece ofmusic that he quotes comes fromone of the most popular andbest-selling albums in recent years,Quadrophenia. What then is "pop-ular music" , if not this?

I feel that both WRTC and theTripod readers deserve an apologyfrom Mr. Grevstad for wasting our

time on this silly nonsense. Instead !of blubbering foolishly in an areawhere he obviously has little or noexpertise, Mr. Grevstad ought tolisten more often to WRTCPerhaps then he may learn some-thing about contemporary music,as WRTC at tempts to offer analternative range of programming-It is precisely the type of close-mindedness that Mr. Grevstadexhibits so forcefully that WRTCattempts to combat.

Livingston Taylor:A Sweet Surprise

by David WinansWhat did I expect? Sitting in

the middle of a mass of peacefulcollege kids, waiting for twoperformers I had never heard muchof or thought about. But when thelights dimmed down and the kidsstopped moving, I felt the usualvibrations of the ritual rock concert.What came next though was totalsurprise, and it was beautiful.

Out of the darkness emerged asingle figure, alone; he walked tothe edge of the stage smiling, withcrazy eyes flashing. It was Living-ston Taylor, known to some as onlyJames Taylor's (younger) brother.As a singer and master of folkmusic, he is a Taylor. His voiceclose to his brother's, he singsdesperately sad without losingsight of hope. I heard him sing"Somewhere over the Rainbow,"acoustic guitar being his onlyaccompaniment. Nothing hastouched me and made me feel soalive than this version of the JudyGarland classic. Whether at thepiano, guitar or banjo, LivingstonTaylor played and sang carefree,simple music of the earth. He is apart of a folk scene that is sadlyoverlooked. It stays though, andthose who can hear it feel better"afterwards. He knows this, andgives to his audience a part ofhimself, not just some mechanicalperformance. Livingston Taylor is agifted man and his songs, "Get UpOut of Bed" among others, arewindows which should never beshut. -

Less of a surprise was PbussetteDart Band's colorful performanceof a bouncy country rock. Like thegroup claims, this sure aint disco."Working big time in a collegegym", they played a few-tightinstrumentals as well as the songsthey are known for, including:"Amnesia", "Country Line", and"What Can I Say". Where Taylorwas more emotional, and sangprimitive folk-type songs, thesefbur musicians provided a 70'sbrand of crisp, safe songs.

The Pageant Of Historyby Nick Noble

On September 30, 1399, Ric-hard the Second of England placedhis crown and sceptre in the hands

' of Henry Bolingbroke, Duke ofHereford and Lancaster. This dig-nified abdication in the face ofhumiliating accusations of illegi-timacy and treason was the sparkthat would eventually ignite bitterwar. The deposition of Richard IIby Henry of- Lancaster was theorigin of the division between theYorkists and the Lancastrians thatbecame the Wars of the Roses.

It is against this historicalbackdrop that the curtain will riseon William Shakespeare's HenryIV, PartOne, next Thursday even-ing, October 27th, in the GoodwinTheatre of Austin Arts.

"Henry IV, Part One" isactually the second play in a fourplay series, which traces theorigins out of which emerged thegreat saviour of England, Henry V.In "Henry IV, Part One" he is stillthe Prince of Wales, Prince Hal,and his greatness lies ahead ofhim. Still it is'Hal who is thecentral force in this play, and theone character who holds togetherthe multitudinous threads of plot.

The parade of history hasprovided many an artist withinspiration. Certainly Shakespearewas no exception. It is his brilliantpoetry that embodies this historywith its vitality, and it is hisingenious theatrical inventions

(most notably the character of SirJohn Falstaff) that make thishistory come alive for the spec-tator. It is not, admittedly, truehistory, factual and foot-noted. Butit is symbolic of that true history,and made all the more true by thedramatic force instilled in it byShakespeare's imagination and po-etry.

The play, as written, is a perfectblend of high drama, tragedy,historical pageantry, and comedy.It is the realism of this blend thatgives the play its power. It is such afine combination of an array ofgenres that it requires the utmostin delicacy of handling. DirectorGeorge Nichols, Professor of Thea-tre Arts, commented that: "It'ssuch a difficult play to do. There'ssuch an embroilment of so manyelements."

No plans are in the offing toproduce the second part of "HenryIV". Nichols sites the -lack ofenough available (and diverse)talent, as well as the time involved,as reasons. This is certainly,understandable. It is, however,unfortunate, for in that second playis contained the dramatic culmin-ation of much that is in the firstpart. The death of the King and therejection of Falstaff are dramaticmoments that will be missed. Still,we will be treated to Falstwffsdiscourse on honor-"and so endsmy catechism".

Sports SceneFrom The Summit

by Nick NobleCongratulations are in order to many this week. Women's

Tennis, for their superb showing at the New Englands,finishing second out of forty-seven colleges, deserve highpraise. Varsity Football and Varsity Soccer for their thrillingvictories, the Men and Women Crews for their participationin the Head of the Charles Regatta, and Varsity CrossCountry for finally breaking into the win column: all theseteams warrant acclaim. Waterpolo seems also to be on atriumphant path following a mediocre start. The outlook forthe Trinity Fall Sports Scene looks pretty sunny.

Sport's GenesisThe game of tennis has fascinating roots. There are two

types of "tennis": the original court tennis, and our modernadaptation, lawn tennis (rarely played on a lawn anymore).The origins of both games lie in early forms of handball,played not for sport, but as solemn fertility rites back inancient Egypt. Most scholars agree that the name is of Arabicorigin, the game being associated by the Crusaders fromEurope with a village on the Nile known as Tinnis in Arabicand Tanis in Greek. The game was played in a walled room,with the bare hands, and thus was the forerunner of CourtTennis.

The Crusaders brought the game to Europe, along with itsterminology. So from the Arab word "rahat", meaning "palmof the hand" came our word "racket" and the French"racquet". The game was played in France during the 12thcentury. It was the French who devised the glove (thusperfecting handball and "fives") and finally the webbed glove,which gave greater momentum to the ball. By transferringthis webbed surface to the end of a handle, the modern racketentered its infancy. The term "love" meaning nought scored,has absolutely no amorous connotations. Rather, it is ananglicized version of the French "1'oeuf", meaning egg and

- resembling zero.Court Tennis was played in the French Court, introduced

by the French knights. Shakespeare's Henry V reflects on theEnglish attitude toward Tennis as a "Frankish pastime" whenthe Dauphin sends the English king an insulting gift of "a tunof treasure" (a basket of tennis balls) in lieu of his Continentaldukedoms. Henry's classic reply is a sarcastic description ofthe game, inviting France to war.

Lawn Tennis was invented by a pair of Englishmen in1868, but it was English Major Walter C. Wingfield whopatented it as a garden party favorite. Originally he called it"Sphairstike", from the name of an unknown ancient Greeksport. His lawn court was shaped like an hourglass. But laterhe changed it, by popular demand as the Greek version wasalmost unpronounceable, to Lawn Tennis, which is basicallywhat it was.

The All-England Croquet Club introduced Tennis toWimbledon in 1877, beginning that classic. Lawn Tennisreached America from England by way of Bermuda, throughMary Ewing Outerbridge of Staten Island, N.Y. The U.S.Lawn Tennis Association was formed in 1881, but TrinityCollege had formed the Intercollegiate Tennis Associationwell before that.

Less than twent-four hours after I lodged my printed footneatly within my. published mouth, the Yankees were WorldChampions of Baseball.

They won it. They took it all. They took it triumphantly,beating the odds that, until the fifth game was won, were stillagainst them. Reggie Jackson's unequaled performance stillhas me reeling. However, I would rather have seen MikeTorrez the MVP. Still, Reggie's sister has a brand new car.

I never bet on games or point spreads. It cheapens thetrue value of the contest, and nothing delights me more thanto see an odds-maker's point spread beaten.

I only bet on one team in my life. Early in my youth, myolder brother convinced me that the Mets were the team Ishould put my money on each spring to go all the way. So,beginning in 1965, I faithfully slapped down a quarter eachyear for the Mets to take it all. By 19681 had lost a dollar, butI retained my faith in what I had already achnowledged as alosing cause, and I put my money down again in '69. They saythat faith can move mountains, but I was so stunned by mypower, when, in October the Mets took everything, that Inever bet again.

The Mets and the Red Sox in 1978! (I like dreaming).

A Parade Gone ByPart Seven: The War, Dan Jessee,

by Nick NobleBetween 1943 and 1945 no

organized intercollegiate footballwas played at Trinity. Over 1500Trinity men, graduates and under-graduates, were in uniform. Fifty-seven never came back. Part of theField House was built in theirmemory.

Three Trinity football heroesgave their lives. Lt. CharlesLeFevre '38,- an end in .1935, waskilled in action over Germany. Sgt.Sid Mill '41 fell during the Battle ofthe Bulge. Lt. Borie Pacelia '39died in an air crash. The tragedy ofwar did not leave the Summituntouched or unmoved.

When the college opened in thefall of' 1946, many of the Varsityteam were ex-Gls: veteranshardened by war. Theodore Lock-

Twood '46 recounts: "In '42 I wasthe heavy in the line-up, 187. WhenI returned from the war I was still187, but everybody else weighed220."

Dan Jessee had also developeda new T formation for his men.replacing the old single-wing. Therespectable 4-2 showing for thaifirst post-war eleven was impres-sive, despite a loss to Wesleyan.

In 1()47 Trinity romped through..sthe first six games of-its schedule''undefeated, averaging 30 points a

game and holding all opponents toonly four touchdowns, CaptainRoger Bestor was a magnificentcenter, and a fine leader: thebackbone of an over-poweringteam. Then disaster struck. Boththe Bantams and the Cardinalsfrom Middletown entered the finalgame of their seasons unbeatedand untied. When the smokecleared the score stood 13-0, andTrinity had one blemish on itsalmost perfect record, while Wesle-

;_ yan remained invincible for thesecond straight year.

There were little or no ex-Gls onthe '48 team. Out of 23 lettermen,19 were sophomores or juniors.Still they scored an incredible 242points, and were credited with anexcellent (if not awe-inspiring) 5-2record. Still, Wesleyan beat us

again. This fine season with anucleus of young stars set the stagefor the glory that belonged to theteam of the autumn of 1949.

This tremendous ' squadamassed 312 points, while holdingall comers to just 38, arid steam-rolling their way to an 8-0 record.Only in the final two games did thegoing get rough, but the tough,scrappy Bantams still managed to

Captain Roger Hall, one of thelions of the backfield, and stellarcenter Whitey Oberg, were namedto the First Team of the Connecti-cut Sportswriters Alliance. Thissame organization named DanJessee Coach of the Year. Punterand pass reciever Dick Aiken,running back Bill Goralski, and thesteady Frank Sherman and PhilSimoni were all elected to theAlliance's second team. Center

eke out triumphs over Wesleyan(finally!) 7-6, and over Tufts 6-0.

lt was an extremely versatileteam. Eleven different men" wereused in the backfield, all of thembrilliant performers. At the close ofthe season Trinity found itself theonly undefeated team in NewEngland, with several of herstalwarts elected to varioushonorary elevens.

iv:Ch*rIie"'5ttloH*:w;atch^plays fromori^eSideHne^witfe'Ws^e^ifta^

Whitey Oberg was named All-NewEngland, AU-Easy, and to thesecond Little AH-America team.The entire squad was superb, butspecial mention should also bemade of Al Magnoli, the hustlinghalfback.

Whitey Oberg captained the1950 squad, which racked upanother massive point total of 256.However, one horrible loss marredthe otherwise perfect season. ItA'as a 6-0 defeat at the hands ofColby, when a Bantam fumbled theball deep in his own territory.

The season's highlights werecollective as well as individual,lessee's team had the best offens-i/e totals in the State of Connecti-cut The team placed six men onthe Connecticut Sportswriters 'Hlevens. The MVP was DickGarrison, a talented and excitingpass reciever.

In 1951 Trinity, for the fourthvear in a row, totaled well over 200points. Their losses were two,including a 6-3 defeat by theCardinals, of Wesleyan. Bill Goral->ki was the captain, and Billyv'lbeit filled in ably at quarterback,,vhile quietly and efficiently settingi string of Bantam records forplace-kicking conversions.

of '53 found itself one of the fewelevens that was used to playing forsixty minutes straight. It recordeda good 5-3 mark.

Then came the golden years,both of them. 1954 and 1955 rate asthe greatest consecutive seasons inthe history of Trinity football. Bothteams went undefeated and untied,for a string of 15 victories (from thelast triumph of '53, through the '55schedule).

There were two main reasonsfor Trinity's two year reign at thetop of the Small College heap:Charlie Sticka and BobbyAlexander,

..'•.. Charlie, Sticka, a husky, agres-sive, ebullient fullback set aBantam record for career pointsand career touchdowns: 227 pointsfrom 37 trips into the end zone (notto mention 5 conversions). Threeyears running he was Connecticut'stop scorer, while grabbing NewEngland honors twice. After the '54season he was named to theConnecticut Sportswriters' firstteam, and the second teams ofAll-New England and Little All-America. After the '55 season hegarnered more illustrious honors:Several'All-East teams, first squad;every AH-New England firsteleven; the Interfraternity All-America first team; and' theGridiron Club of Boston named himOutstanding New England FootballPlayer.

To top it all off, he appeared inthe Shrine East-West game, theEast winning 29-6 behind hisrunning and blocking. He wasdratted by the Los Anglese Rams,but a baseball injury in the springsadly prevented him from pursuinga professional career.

Bobby Alexander wasTrinity quarterback. He set manyBantam passing records. The onethat still stands is his 17 touchdownin a single season. He was an aerialwizard, but also a fine strategicquarterback. In the two unbeaten >seasons in which he guided the ;Bantams he, recorded almost 1600 ?yards total offense all by himself, IHe was UP's Little All-America Js ta r t ing quarterback. He was Jdrafted by the Chicago Bears, but *later played with the Hamilton,Ontario Tigers of the CanadianFootball League.

Other fine Bantam playersduring those stupendous yearswere Dick Nissi, Sam Niness, Felix '••Karsky, and All-Connecticut^Center Ray Aramini, who doubledas superlative linebacker.

In 1954 Jessee was again'named Coach of the Year. 1

Four of Dan Jessee's six losingseason were part of his last decadeof Head Coaching, but there werecertainly highlights as well, In 1958the two point conversion became!part of college rules. That fall also!saw Curtis Brown as co-captain of Ithe Trinity eleven. Later this fine«two-way tackle would coach this!author during his prep school;career. '

In 1959 .the goalposts were,widened, the first time they had:been altered since 1876. It was an:attempt to make the kicking game a Jbigger part of football again. That jsame year the Bantams posted) isuperb 6-1 record, behind Captain;Roger LeClerc.

Trinity Rows In HeadOfllie Charlesby Thomas D. Casey

On Sunday, Oct. 23, the TrinityCrew sent 11 boats to the Head of.the Charles Regatta in Boston. Theentries, coming from both thecoaching and rowing ranks of theMen's and Women's Crews,ranged from Coach Norm Graf inthe Veterans Singles to an alumnieight. The Bantam crews fared welloverall, but the highlight of the daywas a superb third place finish bythe Varsity lightweight eight.

Coxswain Carol Green, StrokeStu Kerr, Ed Kloman, GordieArmour, Co-Capt. Steve Lloyd,Tony Lothrop, Neil McDonough,Henry Fox, and Co-Capt. BobChilds beat the likes of Harvard,Yale, Coast Guard, Dartmouth,and Cornell, to finish just behindPrinceton and Penn with a time of17:12.1 over the 3-mile course. Allbut two of these oarsmen areveterans of Dad Vail ChampionshipFreshman lightweight eights fromthe past two years.

Performance in "the Head" isusually, a good indication of how acrew will fare in the spring seasonand at the Dad Vail Regatta. Withthis fine showing, and with the highlevel of enthusiasm among thelightweights, there is already talk ofa possible trip to the Royal HenleyRegatta this summer.

This year more than 300 boatswere entered in the Head of theCharles Regatta. With such a largenumber of entries, there are boundto be mishaps. Two very promisingTrinity heavyweight crews wereinvolved in collisions. A cox-lesspair composed of Harry Graves andSteve Berghauser was struck byanother boat in the starting area.Consequently they had to abandontheir brand new shell and row theirrace in a totally unfamiliar boatborrowed from M.I.T. Aheavyweight four that manyspectators considered to be possiblemedal material collided with a boatfrom the Florida Institute ofTechnology, but Barr Flynn, TomHernquist, Charlie Moore, JeffSiekierski, and cox Don Defabio

managed an impressive 11th placefinish in a field of 40.

The Women's Crew sent theirVarsity and JV eights and a novicefour to "the Head", which is justone of two large Regattas on theirschedule. In their raceTrinity's Women's Varsityplaced eighth in a field of forty, asuperb job despite a ten secondpenalty, with a time of 19:50.3 for

the 3-mile course. Entered in thesame race, the JV boat finished33rd, which is commendable whenyou think that they were the onlyJunior Varsity boat entered, andthey beat half a dozen Varsity crews.The Women's novice four did notplace as well, but made a fineshowing against a field of mostly JVboats.

The men entered twoheavyweight eights that eventually

placed 14th and 16th out of 40.

Considering the high calibre ofcompetition at the Head of theCharles and the fine performance ofthe Trinity oarsmen, Bantam crewfans can look forward to a successfulspring season. Lightweight crewafficionadoes can be especiallyoptimistic and should keep theirfingers crossed for another trip toHenley.

Waterpolo Gains Entry To N.E.'s Tops Rowdies In OTThe Trinity Waterpolo Team

once again proved that they areone of New England's top teams bydefeating the University of RhodeIsland 1-10 in overtime. Thevictory over Rhode Island insuresthe Ducks at least the third seed inthe New England Championshipsto be held Nov. 5-6 and evens theDuck's season record at 6-6.

Trin's attack was paced byJunior co.-capt. Kent Reilly whoconnected on a game high fivegoals, Junior Rob Calgi and SophMike Hinton collected two goalsapiece, followed by singleton talliesby Junior Randy Brainard andSoph Rich Katzman. It appearedthat Rhode Island was bent on

revenge from last year's gamewhich Trin won in a sudden death,but the new-found psyche andspirit tliat radiated from the Trinitymasses dominated the natatorium.Coach Rob "Hecki" Meyer gaveout the last rites and the Duckstook to the pool. In the first half,the two teams played like there wasno tomorrow. Trin went outahead quickly in the first period 3-1but U.R.I. knotted up the score atthe end of the quarter.

In the second quarter U.R.I,connected twice to go up 5-3.Brainard scored on a beautiful lay-back shot off a pass by Reilly. Calgizipped by two straight goalsthrough the Rowdie's outstretched

Union College, scoring twiceearly in the second, half * downedTrinity's JV Soccer Team 2-0 lastSaturday at Trinity.

Keeping the ball in the Ban-tam's half of the field, Uniondominated play in the openingminutes of the game. The Bantamsthen became more aggressive, andcountered with numerous scoringopportunities of their own, butnone they could capitalize on. JohnMedford and Tim Rosa, HartWoodson and Mike McGovern,and Dave Koeppel, all narrowlymissed tallying for Trinity.

Union, however, shocked theHilltoppers with two quick goals in

the early minutes of the secondhalf. The Bantams, trying to getback into the game, continued tobattle for the ball. Trinitydominated play in the final twentyminutes of the game, but still failedto score. The shooting and passingof Ken Goulet, John Lombardo,and Steve Stuart put pressure onthe Union defense. The visitorsheld on, however, to clinch their 2-0 victory.

Trinity also dropped a 3-2decision to\ Central Conn, onTuesday. Tom Chase and BruceBerg tallied for the Bantams offassists from Andy Brenner and RobMurdock respectively. But thesewere not enough.

arms as the half ended in U.R.I.'sfavor, 7-6.

With the start of the secondhalf, Trin's defense began tostiffen. Goalie Fritz Eberle madenineteen saves throughout thematch, but had fourteen of thosesaves in the second half alone. Theplay of seniors Chip Glanville andco.-capt. Scott "Den" MacDonaldgave Trin a shot of adrenaline asthey continually came up with thebig defensive blocks and stellarsteals. Reilly connected but theRowdies scored twice more in thequarter to go up 9-7. DefensemenMurphy and Brainard were in-strumental throughout the quarter,

The veterans of past Duckcampaigns began to think one yearback: Trin was down 1-6 to U.R.I.in the fourth quarter, but the Ducksopened up for five goals in the lastquarter to tie up the game and thenwon it in sudden death. This year,

behind a total team effort.Everyone contributed 100%. Theplayers on the bench spurred theircomrades in the water towardsvictory. Reilly scored from theoutside to bring Trin within onegoal. However, poetic justicesealed the triumph. During themiddle of the fourth quarter,Katzman had to be assisted out ofthe pool after being hurt. He laterentered the game with about twominutes remaining. Trin caughtUJR.I. on a switch and Katzmanscored the tying goal. U.R.I, wasshut out the fourth quarter due tothe defense and the play of Eberle.

With the game deadlocked atnine, it went into overtime. Eberlesealed off the Trinity goal as hemade five saves. Reilly fed Hintonon a fast break and the red-manedsophomore scored to break the tie.Reilly then connected to put Trinup 11-9. The Rowdies scored oncemore and despite a free-for-all inthe locker room, Trin emerged

unscathed and victorious 11-10.The win ' boosts Trin's leaguerecord to 2-1, which ensures them aberth in the New EnglandChampionships. Thew members ofthe team have jelled into acohesive unit that has a greatchance of surpassing last years'performance of second in the NewEnglands and fourth in the East.

The team plays two home gamesthis week, Wednesday night 7:30P.M. versus Amherst, and Fridaynight 7:30 PM. versus WestfieldState. Be there, Aloha.

Your football teamhas surrendered two second halftouchdowns and is clingingdesperately to a 24-21 lead. It is latein the fourth quarter and youropponents are two yards away fromcrossing your goal line and snat-

ching the victory from your grasp.It's fourth down and the sweep is toyour side. You muster up everyounce of remaining energy and hurlyourself in the path of the man withthe ball. A split second later two ofyour teammates join in the collision,and you bring the ball carrier to restfour yards short of his destination.The game is won.

Harriers Seal FirstTriumph 20-38

by Alex MagounJust when they needed a

breather, the schedule gave it tothem. After taking individual andcollective beatings from variousNeww England small colleges, theTrinity Cross-Country team jour;neyed to the University of Hartford

'last Tuesday and administered athrashing of their own. Five Ban-tams gathered behind UHart'sLarry Waykovsky almost im-mediately after the start, andfinished second through sixth 4.7miles later.

Co-captain Jon Sendor stretch-kicked the last three miles to leadTrinity in a time of 24:18, 14seconds behind Waykivsky, andthought he .should take cross-country more seriously more often.Co-captain Dan Howe and JohnSandman tied for third in 24:38,Bob Williams placed fifth tenseconds later, and Alex Magounwrapped up the scoring with sixth in25:03.

Besides a much needed victoryfor their record, the team receivedsome notable improvement fromsixth man Alex Sherwood, who

finished only 33 seconds behindMagoun while placing eighth. DaveMuskat looked strong with his 27:36time, and Jay Garahan, who fits anoccasional practice in his busyschedule, broke thirty minutes byforty seconds to the wild yells of histeammates.

Invigorated by this successfulmeet, the team can look forward toat least a week and a half of twelvemile runs and grueling repetitionwork on the track to ready for thesecond half of the season.

Off and Running: Jon Sendor,who has been sneaking extra milesin practice, will have run in the NewYork Marathon on October 24th bythe time this reaches print. Over4000 people are expected to essaythe 26 mile, 385 yard distance, andSendor hopes to finish in the top tenpercentile...The team has yet todecide if it will spend next Saturdayin last place at the Easterns inBoston's Franklin Park. Thediscussion centers on whether itwould be worth it to go and thus beable to purchase the impressivecommemorative T-shirts,

which enabled the Trinity Bantamsto defeat the Colby Mules 24-23 lastSaturday in Waterville, Maine. Itwas a " bizzarre game with anamazing finish, and the loyal Trinityfollowers who made the journeywere treated with a thriller for theirefforts.

Colby scored first with a twoyard run, followed by a successfultwo-point conversion. However, theBantam offense finally came alive,sparkpiugged. by the running ofPaul Votze and Rob Claflin. Thetwo have a unique appearance for aset of backs. Votze compresses asolid 180 lbs. on to a 5-8" frame,while Claflin stretches his 190 lbs.over an angular 6'1" body. They'renot graceful, but they are tough andhave speed. Claflin twists off tackleswhile Votze bounces away. Styleaside, they were instrumental inmoving the ball against Colby.Votze plunged in for the Colby twofor the first offensive tally since theBates game. McCandless' kickmade it 8-7.

The second quarter belonged tothe Trinity offense. QB Mike Foyehad his best game to date as heconnected on 13 of 24 passes for 177yards and no interceptions. Therejuvenated Jim Smith, PatMcNamara, and MarcMontini werethe principal receivers of Foye'sgolden arm. Montini had an in-credible day, grabbing 6 passes for98 yards. Smith made a gutsy grabin the opening drive with a leapingcatch. As he turned upfield, he wasinstantly clobbered by a Colbydefensive back and was laid out forseveral minutes.

Following another Votze drivefor a score (Micki King take notice)the Bants got their third and finaltouchdown. Late in the secondquarter, they recovered a fumbleand scrambled downfield trying toget one in before time ran out. Withno time outs remaining and justseconds to go, Foye kept his head inthe mayhem and setup at the Colbyone. He got the play off just under

the gun, and with no time showineon the clock, he hit McNamara inthe end zone for the score.

Colby made two long TD passesin the third quarterand set the stagefor the wild finish. McCandlesskicked a 24 yard field goal, settingthe score at 24-21. Colby stormedback and got the ball within theTrinity ten. Here the Bantamdefense made their goal-line stand,

The offense still had to kill offthe clock. Colby, with no time outs:

remaining, forced a fourth dovm,Foye waited, and then stepped outof the end-zone, giving Colby ajintentional Safety to account for the24-23 final. This enabled Trinity tofree-kick from the 20, rather thanpunt from deep within their end-zone.

The defense had to stop thestubborn Mules (couldn't resist)who had 56 seconds to score fromtheir own 45. Although Colby gotoff some good passes, they couldn'tbe caught, and Trinity managed tohold on to their one point victory,

Soccer Evens Record, Topples Union 2-1by Randy Pearsall

The Trinity Varsity Soccer teamdefeated visiting Union College onSaturday 2-1. Both teams werevying to even their records at the

.500 mark. A surprisingly largeopen-period crowd witnessed a verycompetitive game.

The story of the day has got to bethe lovable, oversized fullback BillDodge. Taunted last year at Unionwith cries of "36 can't jump",Dodger responded with a key goal.This year Bill sat out the first halfwith a back injury, and entered thegame 33 seconds into the secondThe Union boys started yelling,"Who's got the goon?" but no onecould guard the big Bantam back ashe headed in Trin's first goal of thegame.

The first half was characterizedby tough, physical play, as bothteams recorded 13 shots. Unionseemed to control the ball moreoften as Trin relied on its counter-attacking offense. Defensively thehome squad was steadied bydebutante William Bullard atsweeper, Union's goal was scored

when Al "I lost it in the sun"Waugh deflected a pass, but anopportunistic Union linemanpumped it home.

The second half had barelybegun when Dodge took AaronThomas' corner kick and headed inthe tying goal. Both teams appearedto have settled down in this half,The gamewinner was scored Iminutes later by Trin's blondhaired freshmen bookends: D»/Kahn and Carl Schiessl, Kahasrt j *a low cross right to Schiessl, *>'practically walked it into the goalfor the first tally of his young career,

Inspired play by Dodge andWaugh allowed Trinity to holdUnion scoreless for the remaining 35minutes, to ice the 2-1 triumph,

Trinity's games this week will beat home, Wednesday against 0.Hartford and Saturday vs. Conn.College.

Trinity's undefeated Women'sTennis team battled for three daysto gain second place in the NewEngland Women's IntercollegiateTennis Tournament. It was a close,

'hard-fought tourney, for whileDartmouth took the crown with 23team points, the Bantam's 19 pointsecond place finish barely edged outHarvard by one and Tufts and Yaleby two.

Coming off an 8-1 triumph overMr. Holyoke earlier in the week, theunbeaten Bantam Net-Women wentoff to Amherst and the NewEnglands confident.of doing well.Sophomore Betty Wallace lost in thethird round of the Tournament tothe first seed from Yale. Trinity'snumber one, Wendy Jennings,made a fine showing on theweekend. She delighted in earlytriumphs, and made it all the way tothe semi-finals. There she met Pam

Banholzer of Dartmouth, and fell in3 sets, 1-6, 7-5, 7-5. Ms. Banholzerwent on to take the individualsingles title.

In the doubles Barbara Fischerand Vivi Dunklee also conqueredearly, and it was not until the semi-finals that that inimitable pair fell tothe eventual runners-up fromHarvard. The doubles cham-pionship was also won by Dart-mouth.
