B & G Combats Weather

No, the chapel is not on fire, just an old heating system letting offsteam.

by Fred SchwartzIn light of the recent series of

snow and ice storms, the Trinitycommunity has become acutelyaware of snow related problems,especially the problem of snowremoval. Riel Crandall, director ofBuildings and Grounds, called the'̂situation "grim," but was confi-dent that within a week theproblem would be under control.

According to Crandall, the pastthree storms were the worst to hitHartford in the last SVJ years.While the snow accumulation wasbad, it was manageable. The realculprit was the freezing rain whichmade snow removal extremelydifficult, if not impossible.

Strong Sense of ObligationMany students may have won-

dered why the college was notclosed a week from last Friday.Even though most of the city was ina shambles and many area collegeswere closed, it is college policy tostay open. Last Friday over 50% ofthe scheduled classes were heldaccording^ to Vice President TomSmith.

He feels that Trinity employeesshowed a "strong sense of obliga-tion" in coming to work, and thusprevented Trinity's essential ser-vices from being shut down. Thefollowing are just a few examples of

this "strong sense of obligation."To get to Trinity on Friday, Smithsaid that professors and adminis-trators walked, skiied, and tookbuses.

One professor, Smith reported,walked over four miles to teach aseminar. Jeff Wilson, head of Sagafood service, drove around townbuying food when the food couldnot be delivered due to the.hazardous driving conditions. Theentire ground crew, consisting ofeleven men, braved the storm ingetting here that Friday.

Ground Crew EvaluatedHow good a job did the ground

crew do in snow removal? Smithfeels that B&G did a "superb" jobconsidering their limited resources,including the size of the groundcrew and machinery. Student opin-ion varied.

The chief complaint received byB&G was the problem of carsbecoming blocked by walls ofplowed snow and drifts. <

According to Smith, the parkingsituation is always a problem inheavy snowstorms. He believesthat the snow removal processwould be facilitated if people wouldproperly equip their cars so theycan move in and out of the snow."Good snow tires, chains and ashove] are all helpful in this

Chapel, Quad Mysteries Explainedby Alan Levine

Despite beliefs to the contrary,the chapel is not on fire and theshrubbery near the chapel did notmysteriously disappear. The hissingand smoke emanating from thechapel are due to an old heatingsystem. The removal of the shrubswas intentional, to add to thebeauty of the Quad.

Reverend Alan Tull explainedthat the smoke and hissing soundsmany are hearing around thechapel are caused by the building'soutdated heating system, which isas old as the building itself.Without, these special effects, thepipes would probably freeze. Tulllaughingly said that some peopleactually do think that the chapel ison fire.

Vice President Thomas Smithexplained that the shrubbery nearthe chapel and Williams Memorialwere purposely removed. Thearchitectural firm that is re-landscaping the Quad, Skidmore,Owings & Merrill, recommendedthat the area beyond the archleading on to the Quad be leftopen, giving the pedestrian a freechoice of where to walk.

In addition to this, he said, theilex shrubs which lined the walk,were unsightly and not adaptableto Hartford's climate. Smith added

that some of the bushes died eachwinter. Unfortunately, due to thetangling of roots, their large sizeand other problems, none of theuprooted bushes were replanted.

Smith called the move a"visually desirable" one and addedthat there has been a mixedreaction. Some people like theeffect, while others don't; somefeel a lower hedge should beplanted as a replacement. Onestudent could not figure out whathad changed. For now, Smithindicated that the ground will justbe resodded.

Other changes are in store forthe Quad, some occurring thisspring and others planned for thefuture. Thirty ash trees will beplanted in the center of the Quadthis spring. It had been hoped thatthis would have been done duringChristmas vacation, but weatherconditions in Illinois, from wherethe trees originate, prevented this.Smith said that money is still beingraised to pay for the trees that willbe planted along the Long Walk.

The trees to be planted aroundthe statue of Bishop Brownell willbe five to six inches in diameterand 25 to 30 feet tall and, accordingto Smith, should have a visualimpact as soon as they begin toleaf. Other trees to be planted willbe only three inches in diameterand twenty feet high.

Sometime in the future, theLong Walk will be widened five tosix feet. Partly due to expense, thetask is not being undertaken now.The architects have recommendedthat the walk be made of granite,

but Smith said other alternativesare being explored. One con-sideration is that the Walk has tosupport the weight of vehicles thatride on it.

Also in the future, Smith hopesto find some shrubbery which islower and denser to line the

buildings along the Walk. Hewould like to remove the wirefencing which currently stands andwants to add ballards and benchesif it is feasible. Definite plans havenot been made regarding thesechanges. Nevertheless, Smith feels,"We're on our way to a very worthyrestoration."

respect. Trinity College is locatedin New England and people shouldact accordingly," said Smith.

Because of immobile cars it wasimpossible to clear several parkingareas. A few cars are still stuck.Smith emphasized that being pro-perly equipped for a snowstorm isthe responsibility of everyone, notonly students, but also professors,administrators and the neighbor-hood in general. In the future,Smith recommended that if lots arenot clear, students remove theircars as soon as possible and findcleared areas, to allow the lot to beproperly plowed.

In a letter in last week's Tripod,Dave Duncan 79 and Friend '79expressed their "displeasure withthe methods employed by B&G inits snow removal operation." Dun-can objected to the plow driversrefusal to help him dislodge his carand to what he saw as their"ineffective and wasteful pur-suits." :••

In response to Duncan's letter,Riel Crandall maintains that driv-ers are not responsible to helppeople. In a job of this magnitude,the crew must stick to its assignedjob. It is impossible to helpeverybody and get the job done athe same time.

The plow.driver's language may •have been unfriendly, but "if youhad spent all night fighting asnowstorm, driving a tractor, youwould have felt the same way."Crandall says when students get upin the morning, they should realizethat the ground crew has beenworking since the early morninghours.

According to Crandall, theground crew has been working anaverage of 12 to 16 hours a daysince the first big snowstorm in an

Grades Pose Perennial Problemsby Robert Levy

This is the first of a 2-partseries.

Grades, that great Americaninstitution, have been the subjectof experiment in colleges acros thecountry. Some schools (such asBowdoin and WPI) have chosen tograde students using a systembased on high pass, pass, and lowpass. Other schools, (includingMIT) have decided to abolishfreshman grades altogether.

In designing these alternategrading systems, the colleges hadseveral objectives in mind: theywanted to relieve the pressure onstudents to achieve good grades;they also wanted to emphasizelearning and de-emphasize concernover grades.

In addition, these collegesrecognized problems that are in-herent in the traditional markingsystem. As any student knows, thegrade he receives in a course doesnot always show his grasp of thematerial or the amount of work hehas put in.

It certainly is possible that luck,cheating, and a professor's person-nal feelings toward a student canenter into that student's grade.Another problem is grade inflation:receiving, say, a B for doing Cwork.

Trinity, of course, maintains thetraditional grading system. In thelate sixties, a joint student-facultygroup was set up to study alternatemarking systems. That group'smajor proposal was to eliminateletter grades and to replace themwith an essay — written by theprofessor — on a student's pro-gress. Faculty support for this planwas miniscule.

What Trinity does have that isdifferent from most colleges is atwelve-point grading system(where an A + is twelve points, anA is eleven points and so on) ratherthan the usual 4-point system. In aTripod interview, Dean Ronaldspencer, dean of studies, who hastaught under both systems, statedthat he vastly prefers Trinity'ssystem over the 4-point system.

Spencer reasoned that if stu-

dent #1 receives a B-, and student#2 a B+, then under the 4-pointsystem, they would both wouldreceive a 3.0 on their records; andquite clearly, student #2's averageshould be higher.Obviously some courses at Trinity,or at any school, will be moredifficult than others, but establish-ing a weighting system where theharder courses would carry orecredit, has problems of its own.First of all, all students are not thesame — what is difficult for onemight be easier for another.Secondly, deciding just how muchcredit to give depending on acourse's difficulty would be animpossible chore.

When Trinity students attendone of the colleges in the 12-colegeexchange for a semester, how dotheir grades there compare withtheir grades here? Dean RobbinsWinslow commented that thegrades stayed pretty much thesame, with one exception: "Trinitystudents going to Wellesley did

Rearing Analyzedby Tucker EUtnghaus

Tuesday, January 24, theeleventh lecture of Trinity'sHorizons Program was given.Professor E,ugene Leach of theAmerican Studies Departmentspoke upon the subject, "MakingAmericans: Middle-Class ChildRearing From Puritanism toPermissiveness,"

This new, unsettled study doesnot attempt to find generalizationsfor the American character: "AllAmericans are materialisitc", forexample. Instead, it seeks to findsocial, economic, and industrialtrends in the United States' pastregarding child rearing methods.

To begin, Leach explained thatcolonial Puritans were a literate,introspective people; yet theywrote little about child rearing. Intheir world oi scarcity and highinfant mortality, children wereraised quickly, and strictly to adultstandards.

The industrial revolution andthe later onset of Republican idealsrevolutionized the family structure.Independence- and individualachievement were valued as thefather often withdrew from thefamily to earn money, leaving thewoman to manage the household.

Children became freer; parentslost confidence in their old,traditional methods of child care.Child rearing manuals appearedfor the first time. Julia Child'smethod reflects the newmatriarchal home as women wereviewed as the weaker sex.

Early twentieth centurybrought rigid scheduling as arearing method: Authorities taughtparents not to play with or coddletheir children. Objectivity was thegoal in order to raise children tosuccess in the cold, urban businessworld.

Mid-century ushered inabundance for the middle, class.Leisure't ime became a newpleasure as reflected in Dr. Spock'smanuels of permissiveness.

Today's society is losing faith inSpock:1 There exists a confusionbetween permissiveness andstrictness. Forty percent of allchildren come from single parenthomes, while two-thirds of twoparent families have both parentsemployed outside the home. Themodern family situation will causechanges in society instead of familystructure reflecting society'schange.

While at Trinity, both Kilbornand Will were editors-in-chief ofThe Tripod. Kirtz served asmanaging editor under Kilborn in1960 and 1961.

This discussion will be Will'sthird speaking engagement atTrinity since his graduation. Fol-lowing the Congressional electionof 1970, Will was part of a panelwhich debated the meaning andimplications of the new adminis-tration, and in 1975, he was thespeaker at the College's annualBusiness, Industry and Govern-ment dinner.

SGA Plans For Springby Barbara Grossman

As two important decisionsmade last week demonstrate, SGAis continuing to work to lessen itsisolation from the student body. Ata late-night meeting last Wed-nesday, the government namedGail Doyle 78, who is not amember of SGA, editor of -thecourse commentary booklet.

SGA also voted to work withSGPB in organizing a dancemarathon to raise money for theMuscular Dystrophy Associatioi .The government's hope is that theentire Trinity community will helpin organizing, and dancing at, theevent.

Ms. Doyle volunteered herservices to' SGA because, she said,she is acutely aware of studentfrustration with the course com-mentary, which is often publishedlate. She hopes to involve studentsoutside of government inpublishing the commentary.

The job of editor is generally

regarded as one of the mostburdensome in student govern-ment, and SGA members gladlywelcomed the offer of help.President Seth Price and Vice-President Tami Voudourisreminded members that, whilestudent participation is desirable,the commentary remains theresponsibility of SGA. Theypromised Ms. Doyle SGAassistance.

The proposed dance marathonfor Muscular Dystrophy will be, inthe words of President Price, "themost important thing we 'SGA' dothis year, after the re-organizationof student government."

Last fall, the Student Govern-ment Planning Board was ap-proached by representatives of theMuscular Dystrophy Association torun a fund-raising event for theAssociation. SGPB was en-thusiastic, but realized that theydidn't have enough man-power todo the job successfully. They

approached SGA, which voted .lastweek to work with the PlanningBoard on the project.

Sam Rogers '81, chairman ofSGPB's Special Activities Com-mittee, will be in charge of theevent.

As currently planned, the 48-hour marathon will be held on theweekend of April 7-9. Couples willbe asked to find sponsors who willpledge them a certain amount olmoney for each hour they dance.

Because Trinity students will berunning the marathon, and becausethe school is so small, the entireGreater Hartford community vU)be invited to come to dance, md!ensure the event's success. j

Bryan Hager '81, and NancyMcCulloch '81, will head theSpring Elections Committee.Elections will be held in earlyFebruary to replace SGA memberswho have resigned or are away onexchange. ,

Upward Bound Gives Kids A Liftby Alan Levine

The Upward Bound program isthriving at Trinity. However, fewpeople on campus are aware of thepurpose, let alone the existence ofthis program, and are not aware ofthe link which Upward Boundforms between Trinity and theyoung people of the HartfordCommunity.

Upward Bound is a federallyfunded program, sponsored by theUnited States Office of Education.Its purpose is to enroll high schoolstudents in post-secondary in-

stitutions, specifically colleges.Trinity's program is one of three inConnecticut.

There are two full-time staffmembers here: Bill Guzman, theprogram's director, and TianeMitchell, a counselor. In addition,the program employs volunteerworkers - Trinity students as tutorsand teachers from the Hartfordschool system.

There are winter and summerphases to the program. During thewinter phase, the high schoolstudents meet once a week in Life

SGA Offices OpenThe Student Government

Association will conduct electionsfor Budget Committee, CollegeAffairs Committee, and S.G A., onWednesday and Thursday,February 8 and 9, in the lobbyoutside Mather Dining Hall.Nominating petitions are dueFriday, February 3, at 6:0Op.m, atthe petition box stationed at thefront desk.

To appear on the ballot, anominating petition must besubmitted. The petition mustcontain the petitioner's name,class, box number, phone, and theposition applied for. Each petitionmust contain fifteen signatures offifteen full-time undergraduatestudents now enrolled at Trinity.

A separate petition must besubmitted for each position appliedfor. All individuals' signatures mayappear on more than one petitionfor the same office, and may ap-pear on one candidate's petitionsfor a series of offices.

As stated above, all petitionsare due Friday, February 3 by 6s00pan.

, Candidates are also encouragedto submit statements of riot morethan 100 words to the Tripod bySaturday, February 4, 12:00 noon.Statements should be typed,double-spaced, and the total wordscounted and written on top of thestatement.

. [Student Government Assoc-iation]: (3 positions) TheS.GA. is the general studentrepresentative body. It concernsitself with all isues relating tostudent life. It sets BudgetCommittee and SGPB policy andacts as a review board for allBudget Committee and SGBPdecisions.

Budget Committee: [4 positionsopen]. The budget Committee isthe student finance committee,responsible for coordinatingstudent activities, allocating the

student activities fund, and ap-proving student organizationchecks. All decisions made by theBudget Committee are sjubject toreview by the SGA.

College Affairs Committee:(one position open). The CollegeAffairs Committee makesrecommendations aimed at im-proving all areas of student life,creates programs to facilitateimproved faculty-student relations,and acts as a student grievance icommittee on matters pertaining tostudent affairs and residential life.

Specific items that the com-mittee has dealt with in the pastinclude the use of Mather Hall,operation of the bookstore, anddispensation of the parkingviolations fund.

Science Center for math andEnglish classes. The summer phaseinvolves the students living oncampus (in Elton and Jones) for sixweeks and having a full schedule -academics in the morning andrecreational, cultural and athleticactivities through the rest of theday. The student who enters theprogram makes a three and a halfyear commitment. It lasts throughhis/ her high school years and thesummer before college.

To take part in the program,students must meet two criteria:academic and economic. Theeconomic guideline is a purelysubjective one established by thegovernment. The applicant must bea member of a family which earnsno more than $ 1000 per person orbe on state welfare assistance. Theacademic aspect is much moreobjective. A committee mustdecide if the student has theacademic potential to be able tohandle a post-secondaryeducation.

Guzman points out that,because the program is aimed ateconomically disadvantagedpeople, it usually coincides withminority students. The number ofstudents participating, currently84, is supposed to be proportionalto the racial make-up of Hartford.

However, he points out that thepercentage of whites is below thepercentage of white residents in

Hartford. Sixty percent of theparticipants are black, while 30%are Hispanic and 102 are white.

Counseling is an important partof Upward Bound. Guzman pointsout that they have more contactwith the students than their regularhigh school counselors. There is agreat deal of one-to-one coun-seling. When the students becomehigh school seniors, counselingincludes help on filling out collegeand financial aid applications aswell as college board preparatorycourses. Sophomores and juniorsalso receive both academic andpersonal counseling.

Tiane Mitchell spends hermornings three days each weekwith the seniors. Oh Tuesdays andThursdays, she has afternoonsessions with sophomores andjuniors. Mitchell, a '77 graduate ofWesleyan, has worked for UpwardBound during two summers and isnow in her third month at Trinity,shares planning and coordinatingresponsibilities with Guzman.

Guzman explained that theplacement rate for Upward Bound"graduates" is 80-85%; way abovethe number of seniors nationallywho move on to college. However,the problem, he says, is notacceptance to college, but thestudents' ability to stay there.

"If they make it beyond the firstyear, they're in good shape." Moststudents go to school out-of-state,largely because. they wish to get

away from Hartford. DespiteUpward Bound's presence atTrinity, no student has everenrolled at Trinity.

Each summer Upward Boundemploys approximately ten Trinitystudents as tutors and counselors tothe high schoolers spending theirsummers here. This job, Guzmansays, is a large responsibility so heand the committee that chooses thetutdrs make careful decisions.Mostly, the tutors are minoritystudents, so they have a similarbackground to the people they areworking with.

Ivan Backer, Director ofGraduate Studies and CommunityEducation, is the link between theprogram and the college. Fiveyears ago, he wrote the originalproposal for the program, andsubmitted it to the Department ofHealth, Education and Welfare.Guzman is responsible to Backer.Backer has witnessed anevolutionary process in the wayTrinity has acted toward UpwardBound. Today there is less of areluctance to take part and helpthan there was before.

Backer has two goals for theprogram. First, he would like to seeits top students be admitted toTrinity. Second, he wants moreinvolvement on the part of parentsand the community. He wants tosee it improve because "thisprogram really helps kids."

Students Learn Personal Safetyby Diane Hunkeler

The assaults and robberieswhich occurred on campus lastsemester and over the vacationhave made the students and ad-ministratidh more aware of theneed for counseling on security.Female students are especiallyconcerned with problems of gettingaround the campus at night. LastWednesday night at the AllCampus Security Meeting, con-sultants from the city of Hartfordand the College discussed Trinity'ssecurity system, the ways in whichthe Hartford police handle victimsof sexual assaults, the reasonsbehind sexual attacks, and howwomen should respond to anassault.

The first speaker was EarlMoffat, Trinity's assistant directorof security. Mr. Moffat announcedthat "the first concern of thetwenty security guards is with thestudent's safety and'care." Later,when questioned about theadequacy of lighting on Vernon

Women Deal With Assault

isle"'1

by Linda ScottOn February 2, the Women's

Center will begin a program ofweekly lunchtime discussionsessions. There will be four sessionsheld, each revolving around thetopic of sexual assault.

The topic of sexual assault waschosen to serve as a form of follow-UP on last week's all-campussecurity meeting. .

The purpose of this program is° Provide something stimulatinglor the women of Trinity's staff,*toch WoUid generate further'd«cussion. Each session will begin*'th a brief presentation, perhaps a" m o r speaker, followed bya'scussions with members of theaudience.

The topics will emphasize socialProblems that women have and will^pefullv provide for" lively,controversial discussion.

The concept of this lunchtimescussion series originated last°V.ember at an Open House for

others with different topics. Eachsession will be held from 12:30 to1:30 in Alumni Lounge.

The programs include a film,"No Lies," and a speaker from theHartford Rape Crisis Center onFeb. 2, a speaker from Neigh-borhood Women Against Rape onFeb. 9, a self-defense demon-stration on Feb. 23, and a speakerfrom CWEALF discussing sexualassault on March 2.

and Crescent Streets, near the lifeScience Center, and the Chapel,Moffat admitted that the lowerwalkway from the Library toVernon St. is the most dangerousarea on campus and advisesstudents not -to take that routealone.

Mildred Wurtz of the HartfordPolice Department was the next tospeak. She gave statistics of thenumber of sexual assaults andclearance rates in Hartford duringthe last few years.

She explained how the policeare trained to treat sexual assaultvictims. She also stressed theimportance of obtaining accuratedescriptions of the attacker, and ofwhat happened for the bestchances of capture.

Next, Rosanne Bilodeau fromthe Rape Crisis Center termedrape as a "violent aggressive actusing sex as the weapon." Shebelieves that sexual assaults stemfrom "the motivation to controlanother weaker being in a societythat pays homage to violence andsexism."

Ms. Bilodeaij also believes that"women have been trained to bevictims, to be afraid, and play apassive role all our Eves." Shestressed that women can overcomethis vulnerability by learning quickassertive responses in self-def jnsetraining.

Two of Trinity's female securityguards demonstrated some basicself-defense techniques. They feltthat small women were notnecessarily at a disadvantage; thata man bending down is more

portance of using a "quick,ffircefulresponse and not worrying aboutwhether you are hurting yourassailant." They also, advisedthreading keys through yourfingers to add to your punch whenwalking alone in dark places, oreven just from your car to yourdoor.

The guards pointed out that,while screaming may not save you,it makes your adrenaline run andtightens the stomach muscles,making you more powerful. Self-defense classes were recommendedto give women more confidenceand a less vulnerable appearance.

After the panelists finished

speaking, students questioned andcriticized Trinity's securityfacilities. Poor lighting and notenough security guards were themajor complaints. Dean Wineradvised everyone to always keepthe combination doors locked andto report unusual happenings. Healso demonstrated a new devicewhich emits a high pitched"scream" when pressed.

However, fear of their misuseraises questions about the shrillalarm's effectiveness. Students whomissed this first meeting and areinterested in learning more aboutself-defense, should attend the

follow-up meetings at the W omensCenter Thursdays at 12:30 p.m. inthe Alumni Lounge. *

Ivy Photos"The East Is Red"

Plans for the 1978 Ivy involve anew approach to yearbook design.A regional representative from oneof the nation's leading publishingcompanies hailed the concept asfresh and innovative. Using theformat of a turn-of-the-«enturyphoto album, a heavy emphasis isplaced upon the spontaneity of thephotographic image, "the captureof the decisive moment." In orderto develop this project, we ask

students to send black and whiteinformal photos of themselves andfriends ingeniously posed on theTrinity campus. The Ivyphotography staff is reasonablyavailable to students upon request,Please contact Letitia Erler at P.O.Box 946.1 We also encouragesubmission of short prose andpoetry pertaining to your TrinityCollege experiences.

"The East is Red," a film fromthe People's Republic of China,will be shown at 7:30 p.m. onFebruary 1st in McCookAuditorium. Sponsored by theU.S.-China People's FriendshipAssociation, "The East is Red"presents the history of the Chineserevolution as seen by the Chinesethemselves. The film uses many ofthe forms of the Chinese theateralong with songs of the revolution,lyrics from Mao's poetry, andpopular folk tunes and dances.

"The East is Red" is in sixepisodes, each one portraying a

revolution. Starting with im-perialism and revolution in (heearly twentieth century, andprogressing through the emergenceof Mao and the Chinese Com-munist Party, the film describes thedevelopment of peasant revolution.It concludes with the Chinese CivilWar and the overthrow of ChiangKai-shek's government. The finaleshows the various nationalities ofChina celebrating the establish-ment of the People's Republic onOctober 1, 1949. A fifty centdonation is requested.

Trinity students with a goodacademic standing are almostautomatically guaranteed admit-tance into one of the 12-collegeexchange members for a semesteror two. Some of the colleges, suchas Williams and Amherst, havequotas of accepting only two orthree exchange students from eachschool.

Winslow commented that thereis a tacit understanding among the

12 colleges in the exchange "not toexport students with academicproblems." Of the Trinity studentsapplying to colleges outside thetwelve exchange, Winslow esti-mated that only ten or fifteenpercent are turned down.

The deadline forsubmitting the Trinity Un-dergraduate Form andphotostatic copy of the family's1977 Federal Tax Form hasbeen extended to April 3.Meanwhile, the deadline forsubmission of the Financial AidForm to Princeton, New Jersey,is also April 3. Applicants whofail to meet these deadlines andwho do not have a writtenextension of time from theFinancial Aid Office will losepriority for funding. Finally, ifyour parents own or operate abusiness or (arm. you shouldrequest a copy of the Businessand Farm Supplement.

NEW PROCEDURES ANDPOLICIES

A number of newprocedures and policies havebeen developed for next yearwhich, hopefully, will make theapplication process easier; easethe Financial Aid Office's ad-nnnistrative burden; andrespond to changing regulationsand minimum wage laws. Theseare as follows:a. The Common Form

The PCS (Parents' Con-fidential Statement) has beenreplaced by the FAF (FinancialAid Form) which is to be usedby both dependent and in-dependent students for bothinstitutionally controlled fundsand the Basic Grant Program.

Students whose parents ownand/ or operate a business orfarm should request a Sup-plemental Form from the Officeof Financial Aid.

Because the FAF will beused to determine Basic GrantEligibility, parents and studentsmust fill it out using 1977Federal Income Tax Date. Ifyour family's data will not beavailable until after the statedApril 3 deadline, you shouldcontact the Office of Financial

Aid, explain the circumstances,and get a written extension ofthe deadline.

UNDER NO CIR.CUMSTANCES SHOULD THEFAF BE FILLED OUT USINGESTIMATED 1977 DATE; andTrinity Undergraduate Ap-plications submitted without aphotostatic copy of the family'sI.R.S, 1040 will be consideredincomplete.2. Notarization of the TrinityUndergraduate Application

In order to further facilitatethe award process and ease theadministrative burden on theAid Office, students will berequired to sign the applicationbefore a Notary Public and onlythen submit the application tothe Aid Office. If this is notdone, the application will bereturned to the student andconsidered late if not receivedby April 3.

We are also in the process ofdeveloping a one-page loan notethat can be sent out with aidaward letters. These twochanges should eliminate thelong lines for signing forms atregistration.3. Increase in Self-help

In accordance with the newminimum wage law increase,there will be parallel increasesin the amount of aid students,will be expected to receive inthe form of summer and term-time employment. Exact figuresfor these increases are presentlybeing worked out.

All in all, the above changesshould eliminate a lot of theproblems and paper work whichhave plagued the students andthe Financial Aid Office in 1977-78. We hope to produce aidawards more accuratelyreflecting a family's financialsituation much sooner. Thisshould lead to less trips to theOffice of Financial Aid to signpapers and a quicker ap-plication of aid awards to nextyear's bills. '

inflation, promises more and deliv-ers less (in that the distinctionsbetween students becomes lessdefined). At Trinity, grade inflationcannot be called rampant, but itdoes exist. The precentage of A'sand B's given in recent years hasrisen.

In 1969,25% of all grades givenwere A's, and 38% were B's. In1973, 27% were A's and 41% wereB's. And in 1975, 28% were A's,and 43% were B's. Prior to 1969,no systematic statistics of gradedistribution were kept.

But statistics don't tell thewhole story behind grade inflation.As Joanne Miller, the associateregistrar, pointed out, "new facul-ty members come every semesterfrom different schools and differentbackgrounds. Students have

changed too." Nor is grade infla-tion endemic to Trinity.

The October 1,1976 issue of thtBowdoin Orient reported thatgrades qualifying for High Honorsjumped from 11.8% in 1967 to24.2% in 1975. In its May 19, 1975issue, the Chronicle of HigherEducation noted that "DickinsonCollege has stopped preparing adean's list because it felt that risinggrades and changes in gradingpractices had made the list mean-ingless."

The big worry, then, amongcolleges is that as grades continueto go up, their value as measures ofachievement goes down.

Part of the problem with gradeinflation is the fact that it is sowidespread. Suppose, for example,that Trinity were to tighten up on

grade inflation and start givingmore C's. Then, when competingwith students from other collegesfor openings in graduate school,the Trinity student would be at adisadvantage by virtue of his lowerGPA.

It was this fact that, promptedDr. Paul Smith, Chairman of theEnglish Department, to state thathe's witnessed "no concentratedeffort to stop grade inflation."

A more serious problem withgrade inflation was mentioned byDean Spencer. By grading tooeasily, Spencer said educatorsmight be "telling students a lieabout life. They may be misleadinga student into thinking he'll alwaysbe indulged."

Coping With Snowcont. from p.l

effort to catch up with theirworkload. (There is a week of workfor each big< snow.) The elevengrounds men and supervisor work-ed 60 to ,80 hours overtimeincluding a couple of times aroundthe clock in an. attempt to relievethe problem. They were quitefatigued.

Looking back at the incident,Duncan says that at the timeclearing the cars seemed an easything to do. He feels the tone of theletter may have been "misleading"and its content misinterpreted.

Though his annoyance at theplow driver's failure to comply withhis request compelled him to writethe letter, he realizes the driverswere "pooped." "From what Iheard on campus a lot of peoplehad bitter complaints; but nobodyelse said, anything." Duncan,wasseeking "answers to questions thateverybody was asking."

Smith feels that the problems ofhaving a small ground crew andlack of big machinery have to beput up with four or five times ayear. B&G can not justify thepurchase of larger machinery. Thecollege rents large equipment assoon as it is available but have torespect the ' "hierarchy of needs" inthe community.

City streets, hospital and supermarket parking lots have priority. Itis usually two or three days beforethe equipment becomes available.

Crandall says that studentsshould realize that snow removal isa very expensive process, thecollege does not have the financialresources to tie up money in extraequipment. If something breaksdown, the ground crew must workwithout it..

Snow Removal ProcessHow does the snow removal

process operate? The eleven manground crew, including one me-chanic, is split in half. Half thecrew words the snowblowers oh thesidewalks and pathways while theother half operate the tractors,clearing roads and parking lots.The mechanic's sole job is to keepthe equipment running.

The only large snow removalequipment are the light tractorsand pick-ups, while it is stillsnowing B&G attempts to keep themajor arteries of the campus,including toads and pathways,open. When the snow stops, fringeareas, such as parking lots anddrains are opened and fire plugsare made accessible.

The janitors are responsible forthe shoveling of dormitory stepsand porches, while the ground crewgoes on the concrete paths and

roads where their machinery is ableto operate.

Other Snow ProblemsThe oil outage in 92-100 Cres-

cent Street was another snowrelated problem. The building waswithout heat and hot water for overeighteen hours during the week-end. Residents of the building firstbegan to notice the lack of heatshortly after dinner Saturday eve-ning.

Unfortunately, because of thesnowstorm and condition of theroads, the oil truck driver decidedto wait, till day break beforedelivering the oil. Even afterdelivery, the building took severalhours to warm up.

Another problem was due to theshortage of parking places earlylast week, handicapped parkingareas were filled seriously ham-pering the handicaps' ability to getto classes.

Finally, the problem of slipperyfoot paths has been particulrly badthis winter due to the freezing rain.Smith said that he thinks wearing

SENIORS...Don't forget

your /

proper footwear is an effectivedevice against slipping on ice. Hehas no sympathy for people whowear clogs and narrow, high-heel-ed, boots that complain of problemsof getting around on the ice.

B&G finds the problem difficultto control. Sand is inneffective onsnow covered ice and clogs thedrains.

In conclusion, while B&G is stillrecovering from this siege of snow,it is working hard to remedy thesituation. Smith said that "stu-dents, administrators and facultyshould exercise understanding inassessing the ground crew's per- •formance. They are ancf••wewf ±working under extremely dffio* !circumstances."

"As the Trinity community [emerges from the confines of the Jsnow and ice and rises above the tdrifts, they should be thankful theywere inconvenienced so little," hecontinued. Throughout the stormmajor roads and paths remainedpassable and essential college,services were curtailed but remain-ed in operation leaving student,discomfort at a minimum.

Hartford Voters Favor Bottle BillA statewide consumer group

today released results of a poll ofHartford citizens demonstrating"strong support" for the proposed"bottle bill."

In letters to Hartford's ten statesenators and representatives, theConnecticut- Public Interest Re-search. Group (ConnPIRG) cited atelephone survey of 272 Hartfordresidents of voting age of whom 61per cent favored mandatory depositlegislation, 18 per cent opposed it,and 21 per cent had no opinion.

ConnPIRG Director Jack Haletouted the poll as "the first done onthis issue in the urban Hartfordarea, and clearly the most thoroughConnecticut bottle bill poll todate."

According to James Scarpa, thecoordinator of the ConnPIRG sur-vey, "the 3 to 1 ratio amongrespondents with opinions in favorof mandatory deposits on beveragecontainers is particularly signifi-cant because it closely parallels theresults of last year's state-wide pollconducted by the League of Wo-men Voters." The results of theearlier poll show 63 per centfavoring, 17 per cent opposing, and20 per cent having no opinion aboutthe measure.Scarpa noted that the poll wasconducted by ConnPIRG workers atTrinity College and the Universityof Hartford, They called Hartfordnumbers selected at random bycomputer from the Hartford tele-

phone book, the pollers wereinstructed to ask the question,"Would you favor or oppose aConnecticut law requiring that allsoda and beer be sold in returnablecontainers with a refundable de-posit?" And were allowed to makeno other statements until a re-sponse had been recorded, he said.

In letters announcing the sur-

vey results to Hartford legislators,ConnPIRg urged the lawmakers tomake use of the poll in consideringwhether to support the bottle bill inthe approaching General Assemblysession. "There has been so muchlobbying on both sides of this issuethat it is, time for legislators to stepback and take a close look at howtheir constituents feel about it,"

said Hale, "and that is whyConnPIRG conducted this survey,"

ConnPIRG is a student basedpublic interest group with chaptersat Trinity College, the University ofHartford, the University of Con-necticut (Stores), and WesleyanUniversity.

Weicker Asks Uganda Trade BanWASHINGTON — Senator Lo-

well Weicker (R-Conn.) last weekintroduced a legislative packageaimed at a total ban on tradebetween the United States andUganda.

"American commercial supportfor the economy and government ofUganda is substantial and it isgrowing," Weicker said in intro-,ducing the legislation.

"It is a mockery of all that theUnited States stands for — all ithas fought to preserve — for us tobe using our dollars and productsto support the madness anddestruction of life which reigns inKampala."

He noted that the mainstay ofthe Ugandan ecomony is its coffeeexports — 90 per cent if its exportincome and 15 per cent of its grossnational product is derived frominternational coffee sales.

In 1976, U.S. companies boughtmore than one-third of Uganda'scoffee exports, at a cost of morethan $176 million. U.S. purchasesincreased 30 per cent during thefirst half of 1977, Weicker noted.

On the other hand, Ugandaimported from the United Statesmillions of dollars worth of sophis-

ticated communications equipmentand luxury goods.

The Weicker bills, which areidentical to a package introduced inthe House by Rep. Donald J. Peaseand 74 others, include a bill to

prohibit the importation of anyproduct grown or manufactured inUganda, a bill to prohibit exports ofU.S. products, materials or sup-plies to Uganda, and a bill tospecifically prohibit entry of Ugan-dan-coffee into the United States.

Rome Bill Would HelpPrivate College StudentsA bill increasing state aid for

students attending private collegesby $500,000 has been" proposed bySenate Minority Leader Lewis B.Rome.

Rome (R-Bloomfield) said hehas asked the Education Commit-tee to consider a tuition equaliza-tion program with grants rangingfrom $250 to $1,700 which will beawarded to Connecticut studentsbased on family income. It will beaimed at aiding rfliddle incomefamilies.

Snow BringsTons of Salt,

by Jeanne KiltonlcThe heartaches of a heavy-

hitting winter are only half over.We still face a half-season more ofrain, sleet and snow. And PatrickHankard, Superintendent of StreetServices in Hartford, feels thegoing will be rough.

The city of Hartford has alreadyexceeded their $250,000 budget forsnow removal by $80,000. With thetypical unpredictability of weatherin the Hartford area, the city couldbecome snowed in above its head.

A request for $57,349 inemergency assistance funds forHartford will be asked of the stateGeneral Assembly by GovernorElla Grasso when it reconvenesnest week. The request is part of a$2 million state-wide package.

Snowfighting is not an inex-pensive task. Salt costs $20 a ton,sand runs about $2 a ton, andcalacium chloride, a compoundused in extremely cold situationswhen salt will not melt ice, costsabout $80 a tone. There has alreadybeen a shortage of sand and saltthis season, according to Hankard.

During the average storm, thecity of Hartford employs 25 to 40trucks, five or six payloaders, andseveral tons of salt and sand.Approximately 40 private trucking

Woe to City Planning;Sand Eat Up Budgetfirms are under contract with thecity. Salt is supplied by the RoussoBrothers of Hartford and McQueenQuarry of Glastonbury supplies thecity's sand.

For actual "road snowfighting,"the city puts out about 15 unitseach storm. In the most recentsnowstorm, winter storm Jerry, sixpayloaders and thirty trucks wereused to clear the roads.

Hankard explained thathospital and bus routes are usuallythe primary concerns whenplowing begins. One of threestandard routes are used duringany given snowstorm, dependingon the nature of the storm andwhen it occurs.

The two major problemsHartford faces in itssnowfightingefforts are the trafficand curb^iarking hindrances, andwhere to put the snow. The cityallows an 18-inch boundary bet-ween the curb and sidewalk of astreet for plowed snow, and manytimes this space has beeninadequate. The task becomesmore cumbersome when cars haveto be towed as plowing goes on.

Rush-hour traffic is also a. majorproblem in clearing snow-coveredstreets. Plows and trucks cannotwork during this period, and it

becomes especially difficult whenthe rush hour is prolonged to fouror five hours.

During the last snowstormwhich blanketed Hartford, whenmanpower and equipment poolsbegan to dwindle, the city wasfaced with a crisis situation withinthe rush-hour period, when the

storm was at its worst.Hartford uniquely faces the

additional problem that half of thecity streets remain in constantshade, considerably lengtheningthe time it takes to melt snow andice.

Hankard finds the mostchallenging aspect of snowfightingis the timing the strategy involvedin predicting the storm.

"It gets kind of tricky,"Hankard admits, when a storm hitshardest during a rush hours. "It's amatter of doing the mostest withthe leastest" during a wintersnowstorm. The superintendentfeels "kind of proud of oursnowfighting operation."

"Dollar for dollar, we giveHartford residents more than mostother cities.." Hankard claimed,'Tin rather tired of the constantnegative attitudes that many havetowards the city, as far assnowfighting goes."

In Briefby Brian Crockett

Snow Funds RequestedUnexpected snow removal expenses caused by the trio of winter

storms that socked the region earlier this month has led Governor EllaGrasso to-announce a $2 million emergency fund request she willpresent to the state General Assembly when it reconvenes Feb. 8.

The fund request includes $57,349 for Hartford. The city slated to*receive the largest allocation, Bridgeport, would receive $62,680. Theremaining monies would be dispursed among 167 other state cities andtowns.

Thaw Brings FloodingThe big thaw last week brought mixed blessings to Connecticut as

some state rivers exceeded their banks.The worst flooding occurred in the Norwich area, with the heaviest

damage caused by the Yantic River.

City Deficit ProjectedA projected deficit of nearly $1.8 million is foreseen for Hartford

with five months still to go in the 1977-78 fiscal year.To make matters worse,'the city predicts a drop in revenues next

year of about $11 million, virtually eliminating the possibility ofdeferring expenses until next year.

The deficit is the result of additional snow removal expenses*increased Social Security costs, and a retired teachers' pension as wellas other factors. An expected Board of Education deficit and decreased:revenues stemming from the collapse of the Civic Center roof should;increase the deficit figure.

Roof Gets BoostA federal loan that will allow work to go ahead on Hartford's

collapsed civic Center coliseum roof was offered the city last week bythe U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,

The federal money pledge will permit a new roof to be constructedas soon as concrete loss figures are determined. Prior to the pledge,;the city might have faced lengthy delays in determining fault.

Toby Moffett's Congressional Report

The Neutron Bomb: Further Escalation?j The following article, from U.S. Representative TobyI Moffett's weekly Congressional Report, concerns thei continuing debate over this year's wonder, the neutron• bomb, its history and effects.

The debate continues in Washington and in theCapitols of other nations about whether the U.S. shouldmake the neutron bomb part of its arsenal in WesternEurope.

What is the neutron bomb and what are its effects?All nuclear explosions produce four effects: blast,thermoradiation (heat), residual nuclear radiation(fallout) and initial nuclear radiation. The neutronweapon is a small hydrogen warhead, the intent of whichis to maximize the last mentioned effect, whileminimizing the other three. Mr. Alfred D. Starbird, ahigh-ranking official of the government's EnergyResearch and Development Administration (ERDA) saysofthebomb, "You reduce the blast effect and getthekillradius1 you want through enhanced radiation."

"Its a good battlefield weapon," says former RandCorporation muclear weapons analyst Sam Cohen. "Itavoids collateral damage and does not wipe out towns orother built-up areas." Such neutron advocates argue thatthe explosion of the tiny H-bomb would restrict blast and

1 fire damage to a small area, a radius of 200 yards or so,1 and the neutrons (invisible sub-atomic particles) would

radiate well beyond that point to kill people withoutdestroying buildings.

The neutron bomb would serve as an alternativewarhead for the lance missile. When Dr. JamesSchlesinger. was Secretary of Defense, he gave the"go-ahead" on this device. He and others becameconvinced that NATO would not be able to withstand anattack by the Soviet Block forces using conventionalweapons unless the NATO powers resorted to tacticalnuclear weapons.

Neutron proponents argue that it is more "humane",that it would limit destructiveness to a smaller area than"sing larger nuclear weapons.

The recent House debate on the issue was extremelyemotional and in that sense unusual. Most debates onweaponry are carried on in a very unemotional androutine manner. There is seldom talk about the level ofdestructionthat a particular weapon can cause, and such

| ta!k is usually clothed in the most abstract and technicalI terms.V This was different: highly charged, highly specific

and graphic regarding destructive potential, especiallyon human beings. Many speakers pointed to the weapona clear escalation in an already insane arms race. Othersargued that it blurs the distinction between nuclear andconventional war.

Rep. Barbara Mikulski (D-Maryland) talked about the• three ways that a neutron bomb can kill. If you are veryclose to the explosion, the neutron bomb blows so manyholes in your nerve cells that your brain ceases to•function. If it does not, you will collapse and lose controlof your body functions; you may get violent. You will diewithin minutes or perhaps hours, and while you are lyingthere waiting for death to call, you lie in your own waste,convulsed and out of control.

If you are a little farther away, the tissue that lineyour mouth, throat, stomach and intestines wUl bedestroyed. At first you will retch, the nausea will pass,though followed by a loss of appetite because the cells inyour digestive tract will continue to divide and die/ andby that time your digestive tract will be come an opensore. Your heart will weaken, your kidneys will fail, yourfever will climb and you willhalluciate. Eventually youwill die. . . • ,

If you are still farther away, the radiation will attackthe blood cells, v.our system will be defenselessagainst disease; sores will not heal. In effect, your ownlungs will become a swamp.within your body as you gaspand struggle for breath, your liver will fail and your skinwill turn yellow. You will then die, in all likelihooddrowning from your own contaminated body fluds in yourlungs and liver. This will take about 4-5 weeks.". Perhaps it is true, as its proponents content, that thisnew 'humane' weapon is a 'cleaner' bomb than the•larger ones that destroy vaster areas and everythingwithin them. But it is precisely those 'advantages whichwill make it more likely that the,neutron bomb willactually be used.

Then what? Neutron advocates reply that it could bemade clear to the Soviet Block that the weapon wouldonly be used on European soil and that there would be noescalation to larger nuclear weapons.

That presumes that once a nuclear device of any kindis used, there is logic and reason and lines ofcommunication between combatants. It presumes acontrol situation where there is not likely to be one.

To say that neutron deployment would not escalatethe arms race because it is part of the lance missile whichdoes not come under the Strategic Arms LimitationsTalks (SALT) agenda is to ignore the fact that significantSALT progress is being made. It is also ignoring the factthat a neutron go-ahead would signal the rest of theworld that we are reaching once more for a newdestructive weapon to reflect our might.

Moreover, the gap that has been so carefullydeveloped and preserved between nuclear and non-nuc-lear or conventional arms would begin to close, or wouldat least become blurred, making it easier for one side orthe other to move from one kind of warfare to the other:The more sane way to counter conventional superiority, ifthe Warsaw Pact has it, is to either negotiate troopredaction or increase NATO's conventional strength.

In the waning moments of the House debate on thisnew weapon, Representative George Miller (D-Californ-ia) held up a headline from a San Francisco newspaperwhich read, "THE NEUTRON BOMB, THE NUCLEARWEAPON THAT MAKES XV EASIER TO START ANUCLEAR WAR, BUT GIVES YOU TIME TO KISSYOUR LOVED ONES GOODBYE".

"And 1 thought it was somewhat funny," said Miller,"until my young son asked me what it meant".

EditorialA Failure To Communicate

In the course of this year, communication between students and administratorshas been less than satisfactory. This is not to say that attempts at discussion havenot been made, or that such channels do not exist. Rather, indications of narrow ordefensive attitudes on both sides have resulted in a relationship that is oftenstrained, superficial, or defined on an opposition basis.

Recurring trends over the year demonstrate that students and administrators, hiexchanges about institutions at the college, presist in dealing with each other fromnegative view points. Hie majority of students [whether individually or hi groups]approach the administration with complaints and criticism only after having beenaffected directly by a situation that does not please them. Administrators, in return,have responded to criticism by disclaiming either die charge itself or the students'right to make such a charge. It appears that neither "side" is considering what theother has to say or offer, preferring to assert rights or power rather than using themfor compromise. If criticism is being considered, it is not apparent; perhaps itshould be.

Certain basic facts seem to have been overlooked hi building up thisrelationship. First, the studesnt body's right to voice its opinions is generallyrecognized as important to the effective operation of the college. And thesolicitation of such opinion, whether directly through all-college meetings or

indirectly through the S.G.A., implies a respect for what is expressed. Second, asthe institution exists for Its participants, the majority of whom are students itfollows that the administration has student interest hi mind. And yet, while thisidealy holds true, it is not always apparent hi the course of administrative actionand student response.Nothing is to be gained, on either side, by a continued "cold war" betweenstudents and administrators. Whether strained relations can be sociologicallytraced to the open warfare of the sixties between youth and establishment, orwhether it results from a misunderstanding of each other's wants, the presentstatus of the relationship can only hinder the achievement of mutually beneficialgoals. Students wish to know that their interests are being consideredadministrators that their actions are effective. These objectives are certainly notmutually exclusive. However, their realization depends upon a willingness on eachside to cooperate with the other.

Openness to the process of decision-making Is desirable on the one hand,constructive response on the other. This kind of exchange has been achieved In thepast. The only way to make good relations the norm Is to relax the defensiveattitudes and open the way to intelligent and open-minded discussion.

ParticipationLacking

To the Editor, °I commend the efforts of all

those who coordinated and par-ticipated in Wednesday's AllCollege Meeting on Public Safetyand Rape Prevention. The programwas informative and much needed.I am writing not only as a con-cerned member of this community,but also as a male, one of very fewwho attended the All CollegeMeeting. My comments reflect

f t;^bt%-; perspe'ctiyes.'First, as an effort to impress on

the students of this community theseverity of Trinity's Sexual assaultproblem, the Meeting was limitedonly by its audience. This was to bean All College Meeting. The issuefor discussion was, and remainsone which should concern everymember of this college, not onlythe women. It is an outrage thatthere were fewer than ten males litthe meeting. Similarly, the femaleturnout was less than satisfactory.•

Security, particularly theproblem of rape at Trinity, is not a

matter which can be left strictly inthe hands of the C ollege's excellentbut overburdened security force.Security guards cannot beeverywhere at once. The problemof sexual assault can beameliorated only when students areconscious of when and how theyplace themselves and each other indanger. To be ignorant of the waysin which this is possible amounts tobrazen irresponsibility.

Most women recognize thedangers of walking alone at night,of leaving their doors unlocked,etc. And most men know that thesedangers exist for women. Yet oneoften finds a woman walking alone.One hears of men and womenrefusing to escort their friendsacross campus. One finds exteriordormitory doors propped open, th-warting the intent of the locks andinviting danger inside the halls.And all of this despite five sexualassaults this year alone, onesuccessful.

The horror of even one assault,successful or not, should be felt byall at this college. Evidently this hasnot been the case. Evidently, too

many women blindly maintain thatit won't happen to them; too manymen ignorantly believe that rape isa womens' problem; too manyindividuals at this college are in-sensitive to the horrors and theseriousness of rape. One wouldhope that all those not .present atthe All College Meeting are awareof the problem and that each wouldact to protect the safety of a fellowstudent . However, experiencewould argue to the contrary.

No person should live huddledand paralyzed by fear. I am notsuggesting that students be fearful.On the contrary, precautionsagainst, and safety from crimediminish fear and promotefreedom.

PublicResponsibility

To the Editor:Tom Wolfe would not be

surprised by the demise ofnobelesse oblige in the junior ivyleague. • The Me Decade hasthoroughly replaced any sense ofsocial responsibility among thecloistered Caucasians of TrinityCollege, even to the extent ofneglecting sidewalks buried unders n o w . • ••

Along Vernon Street, BroadStreet, Summit Street, and AllynPlace, on sidewalks abuttingTrinity property, the snow remainsunshoveled, untouched but for thepath tamped by intrepidpedestrians. And this delay inassuming a minor . publicresponsibility has occurred after-each storm this winter.

If an institution producingAmerica's affluent elite at$24,000.00 per. unit cannot clear itssidewalks, I can only wonder inhorror what fills the minds ofTrinity graduates when theyassume influential positions. I hopethe winter sidewalks are notsymbolic of their attitude towardthe univyed public.

Sincerely yours,Barry R. Greer

An Alternative?To the Editor,

The Trinity Folk Society wascreated several years ago to bringfolk and alternative music styles toTrinity, as well as to bringmusicians together . Recentlyat tendance at concerts and

meetings has been small. In thepast, a handful of people have runthe organization, bringing such actsas Woody Harris, True Life StringBand, Jacob's Reunion, AncientOrphic Mystery Band, and manyother fine musicians, in addition toproviding outdoor concerts everyspring.

Last semester I did virtually allof the work for the TFS. I no longerhave that .amount of time todevote, particularly when concertsare sparsely attended and interestdoes not seem great. As a result, Ihave called a meeting Thursday,Feb. 2, in Goodwin Lounge at 7:30p.m. for anyone who is interestedin keeping folk and alternativemusic at Trinity.

We have a budget with theSGABC that is adequate, and thereis a lot of potential in this loose knitgroup. If I get little response at thismeeting, I may have to fold theTFS altogether, in which case thefunds would probably end up goingto the SGPB, alias MHBOG. Itwould possibly mean the end offolk and alternative music here. Ifanyone is interested in somethingother than the beer and boogiescene, I strongly urge him/ her tocome on Thursday or to contactme. I want to see the Trinity FolkSociety continue to flourish, but Icannot do it alone.

Let's Get AlongTo the Editor;

I would not want to criticizeMr. Kreslin's death defying effortto keep the bookstore open whilethe community was inundated withsnow and ice. Some people wouldsurely have taken the day off, andnot have thought twice about sucha decision. However, last week'sletter raises a few points as to therole and function of the bookstoreon campus.

To begin with, much can besaid about the bookstore's imageand reputation. Many students feelthe prices are outrageous, that thebookstore causes more inflationthan rising movie costs (and thatindeed is outrageous.) I have heardproposals to replace Follett's with anew company, and believe it ornot, to hand the responsibility overto students! The proposals, thoughenticing, have been investigatedand appear unrealistic (I think).

So we're back to Follett's, theonly properly stocked bookstore inmiles; that is when books finallyarrive. We have no choice, Mr.Kreslin, we must accept yourdecisions and your store. So let's,get along, okay?

"tif'

LettersFirst, there have been days,

sunny days in fact, when I havewanted to make a purchase slightlyafter 9 a.m. As you may suspect,the store was closed, and I'd wait.Moments later the doors wouldopen, but a man would say could Iplease be patient for no cashier hadarrived. Fine, I'd spend the next tenminutes browsing.

The whole point is that this sortof thing happens all the time. Andif someone is not waiting for thedoors to open, they are waiting onthe long lines that are inexcusable.As manager of the boo^0tf^lp-• ->Kreslin, you must foresee cwrodeitimes and inadequate slatting.Whey not have a larger staff .ofpart-timers (hopefully students),who could fill in during difficulttimes. And why not add a cashier,when the staffing permits, beforestudents start complaining.

Yes, you are a business, and yeshazardous weather conditionsprevent normal store hours. Butplease be more conscious of you'customers, and maybe we'll bemore considerate of y°ur

organization.Withscholarly endeavors in mind,

It was the worst beginning tothe Trinity Term that I could everremember. I returned from anunsuccessful vacation, having nei-ther become tanned nor brokenanything, only to find that myroommate Sherbert Cones had leftmy bedroom window open over theholiday, filling my half of the suitewith slushy snow. Futhermore, Ihad made plans to take a date tothe Ice Capedes at the CivicCenter, but it had fallen through.

As to Cones himself, I did notsee him during the first week ofclass, although he had clearlyreturned to our room. We did notmeet face to face until a rainyWednesday morning, when I wokeup, went into the living room, andfound him drinking the last of theorange juice at his desk. "Goodmorning,'' I saluted him.

Cones eyed me critically. "Tri-ed all Christmas and couldn't grow

a mustache, eh, Wheaton?" Hesmiled. " I am sorry I did not showmyself before, but I have been busythis week; an interesting case hascome u p . " He gestured to theprevious day's Tripod before him.

"The dormitory thefts?" Iasked, indicating the story on pageone.

"Wha t?" Cones sat up, allinterest for a moment. "Oh ," hesaid, relaxing again, "you meanthe thefts in the dormitories. If adormitory had been stolen, Wheat-on, you know I would be first on thecase. No, he continued, "this ismore important than a few missingstereos. An entire course has gonefrom the curriculum!"

Know YourWomen's Center

Since its inception last June,the Women's Center has provideda variety of public events whichhave been well received: the poetryreadings of Adrienne Rich and theBlue Spruce Poets, a mime perfor-mance and workshop, a lecture byfeminist Kate Millett and a filmseries covering pertinent issues.The Center hopes that the lecturesand activities will not only promoteinnovative thought on currentissues, social trends and humanawareness, but will also generate anecessary concern and personalcommitment to these subjects.

Behind the sponsorship ofpublic events, the core of theCenter consists of the Women'sCenter Coordinating Committee,composed of nine faculty, staff andadministrators, and the informalcollectives that represent interestgroups. Existing collectives in-clude: health, self-defense, studytopics, writers workshop, con-sciousness raising, coffee housegatherings, the arts, and a libraryof women's literature. Participantshave been enthusiastic about thecollectives, and most have foundinvolvement to be a great oppor-tunity for meeting others andsharing experience, as well asinitiating activity. The Healthcollective for example has been

instrumental in re-evaluating thegynecological services.

The Arts collective is planning awomen artists series which willsponsor lectures and exhibits bywomen artists in the area.

Above all, the Center is a placein which members of the Trinitycommunity are encouraged toshare their questions, assump-tions, and other perceptions ofthemselves, each other and theircommunity. The center hopes thatthe interaction between memberswill be personally, socially andintellectually rewarding for thosewho participate in our programs.

There is a W.C. bulletin boardlocated across from the mail boxesin the Mather basement on whichall our events are posted. Wesincerely encourage all to explorefacilities and events offered by theWomen's Center. Men are wel-come.

There will be an open house inthe Women's Center Friday, Feb.3rd at 7:30 p.m. Refreshments andmusic will warm you. Anyoneinterested or curious, please come.

week to drop courses without apenalty," I suggested, but Coneshad already crawled under the bedand found his raincoat.

"Dance 105 meets this after-noon at 1:00," he said, peering atthe article once more. "Meet me atthe dance studios after one, and beon your toes. This could be a trickycase."

"Will you not at least join mefor lunch?" I asked. "They havepink cake today." My friend hadfew vices, but his addiction to Sagapink cake bordered on the patholo-gical.

Cones paused. "No," he said,"I foresee a late lunch today, andwill save the pink cake for dinner."He laughed. "After all, I cannothave my cake and eat at two I''

It was a moment's walk fromNortham Towers to the dancestudios in Seabury. I arrived athalf-past one and settled down towait, Cones being nowhere insight.

The dancers were already atwork, practicing moves and turnson the studio floor; I could not help.but envy their grace ans skill.There was one particularly lovelyblonde girl in a blue leotard; Iadmired her form for some min-utes, looking all the while to see ifCones had come in.

"Take five," called the instruc-*tor; the dancers broke up to relaxand converse. While scanning theentrance again for signs of myfriend, whom should I catch the eyeof but the attractive blonde. Shenodded at me, I raised my hand insalute; she smiled coquettishly andinclined her head toward a sha-dowy corner. Flattered by herobvious interest, I nonchalantly leftmy chair and hastened to meet her.

"Hi," I said, "You dancebeautifully."

"Wheaton, you are disgust-ing," Sherbert Cones said.

"Cones," I cried in dismay. Itwas my roommate indeed, clad in afantastic disguise.

"Oh, that this tutu solid flesh

would melt." Cones was strugglingout of his leotard. "Yes, Wheaton,while you were ogling the women,one of us was investigating thestudio."

"And what have you found,Cones?"

"Here." Cones knelt andtouched his hand to the floor. As Ilooked, I saw the floor to be cut andchopped in a hundred places, as ifsomeone had hit it again and againwith an axe, never striking deeplyenough to cut through at any onepoint. I opened my mouth to askCones what it meant.

Suddenly, Cones sprang a-round, grabbing me by the arm andpointing back toward the dancers."Wheaton! the game is afoot!"

The entire Dance 105 class washeading straight for us, too intenton their spins and jumps to noticeus in the way. Their feet thumpedand thudded on the floor. It lookedas if we were to be trampled underan avalanche of Danskins.

"We'll be snuffed out withoutso much as a pas de deux," Conessaid in fear.

"We are trapped!" I cried."There's no Dworin or out of

here," Cones agreed. "Wheaton 1To the window!"

In an instant, we had dashed tothe window, flung open the shut-ters, and thrown up the sash. Thedancers were almost upon us."Jump for the bushes!" Conescried.

"Cones! We'll wake up therats!" I protested. Cones hurledme out the window, dived out afterme, and plummeted into thebushes far below just as thestampede passed by above us.

"Great Scott, Cones, that was anarrow escape!" I gasped. Twostudents hurried up the Long Walkto us. "What happened?" theyasked. "Are you all right?"

"Certainly," Sherbert Conesanswered. "We just dropped out ofdance class."

"But what does it all mean,Cones?" I asked. We were sitting

at dinner that evening, recoveredfrom our adventure and enjoyingour roast beef. Cones was playingwith the salt shakers.

"It is the Civic Center disaster,Wheaton," Cones said. "Or ra-ther, it almost was."

"The roof of the Coliseum,Cones? I don't understand."

"Wheaton." My friend putdown his fork and looked at me."What major group was going toperform in the Hartford CivicCenter, but was left homeless bythe collapse?"

I saw the answer at once. "TheIce Capades, Cones!"

"Precisely," Cones said. "TheIce Capades is no rinky-dinkoperation, Wheatofl. The loss ofthe Hartford Civic Center cost thema valuable booking."

"They would have lost thou-sands of dollars!"

"Simple Hamilltonian econom-ics," Cones agreed. "Not tomention the rehearsal and practicetime, and what better place torehearse than a dance studio?"

'' And the marks on the floor!'' Icried excitedly. "Their skates,Cones!"

"Just so," Cones picked up hismilk glass thoughtfully. "Sixtypeople on skates can go a long waytoward sawing through a woodenfloor.

^Students who attend TrinityCollege aren't aware of the poten-tial financial danger to which theyare subject, they think that afterthey register and kiss away the$3,000 plus a semester that theyare all set. How wrong can they be?What Ignorance adorns them all!For the first short hours at thebeginning of each semester, fewstudents are aware of the ramifi-cations of their choice of schools.The fault should not be placed onthe student, nor should the blamebe put on the college.' The evilcomes from a separate entity withinthe confines of the ivied walls.Everyone is subject to it and fewcan escape its evil grasp. Theculprit (and please whisper thename) ~ FoIIett's (which by theway stand for Far Overpriced, LongLines, Expensive Trashy Trinkets).

The hardest hit is the freshmanclass who, with little knowledge ofwhat lurks within those seldomopen doors, goes in psychologicallyunprepared to meet with the worstof all FoIIett's nightmares: notenough cash. But no one, not evenyou, are exempt from the shock ofopening up the front cover of arequired book only to be met with a

price tag which requires either themortgaging of your house or thesigning away of your first-bornmale child.

But authorities at Trinity reallyare doing a lot to combat theinconveniences placed on the stu-dents by the astronomical prices.First, they're planning to installsmelling salt dispensers through-out the store to combat thefainting spells caused by the shockof having to pay $10.95 for a $3.95paperback. The smelling salts willalso aid in combating fatiguesustained from standing in line for5 hours without moving while at thesame time being forced to talk tothe next person in line who inactuality you can't stand.

Another proposal by the properauthorities is for the Installation ofa cardio-pulmonary resusritator ateach check-out counter for heartattacks sustained by students onfinding out how much they owe.

An alternative plan by thecollege but highly objected to byFoIIett's is the imposition of pricecontrols on the merchandise, forc-ing prices to come down tosomewhere around 25% above

suggested retail, thereby cuttingprofits to only windfall status.

It would also be nice if by somestroke of genius the bookstore wasto have at the beginning of thesemester enough books ordered tosatisfy everyone's requirements.But that would be asking theimpossible and going against theirpolicy of "This class needs fortybooks? Okay, we'll order twentyand hope people drop out."Unfortunately when this is done forevery class, books indeed end up inshort supply.

But the bookstore does havesome good points, too. They areclosed quite a bit which allows

' students to save their money, andon rare occasion, they will cashyour check as long as you have theproper I.D. (even though they'veseen you a thousand times) and aslong as the check isn't for anamount which is a positive number.And just think! Cashing a checkonly costs 15c. A. true bargainseeing that students only do anestimated $500,000.00 businesswith them a year. We reallycouldn't expect them to cash ourchecks for free like the localmerchants. That would be too nice,and 1 can only stand so much.

ArtsMov ie Review f

by Thomas A. Champ•' The Proud Valley Giant Robeson''

"The Proud Valley" wasreleased in 1940, and was still onthe studio floor at the outbreak ofWorld War II. It was a Britishproduction directed by PenTennyson (a direct descendant ofthe poet laureate) and produced byMichael Balcon. The story waswritten by Herbert Marshall andFredda Brilliant and was originallyentitled "David Goliath."

The story is of David Goliath, ayoung black seaman from Cardiff,who travels, to the village ofBlaendy in the coal-mining districtof Wales in search of work. Ratherthan a story of a black man, it is anaccount of life in a Welsh miningvillage. The hazards of the miners'life are brilliantly reproduced whilethe tragedy of unemployment ispoignantly revealed on a backdropof the pithead, slag heap andcottages of the mining villagewhich conveys an authentic andconvincing atmosphere.

David Goliath portrayed byPaul Robeson (April 9, 1898—January 23,1976) is truly a giant ofa human being in "The ProudValley." However, his strength ofcharacter and physique are utilizedfor the uplift of Blaendy, a Welshmining valley that becomes hisadopted home. As a seaman fromCardiff, the home life and com-munity spirit that Goliath finds inthis mining village are particularly

|caat. He fills a void in both"'a»ge'tnftle. chorus and the

home of David Parry, the choirmaster, who is under financialstrain since his son, Emlyn, is soonto marry and leave the household.The character of Goliath, however,is by no means philistine in nature,as he quickly is accepted by hisfellow workers and their families inthe tightly knit valley. The sym-bolic significance of the character'sfirst name is not readily apparent;however, as the film proceeds, it isclear that Robeson would lead andrescue this people as had the youngJewish boy in 1200 B.C. The 20thCentury Philistine giant is a coal-mining corporation based inLondon, 200 miles away. As such, itis unconcerned with the societythat revolves around the operationof the mine. Initially it appears thatRobeson will only rescue the malechorus via his beautiful bass voice;however, with the conclusion ofthe film it is obvious that Robesonhas rescued the entire village fromcertain economic destruction.

Tragedy strikes the village onthe day of the 'Eisteddfod (anannual choral competition.) Parry,the choir master, is killed in anexplosion in the mine. The pit isclosed, and the whole village isthrown out of work. After a year ofunemployment, David and Emlyn,Parry's son, decide to lead adelegation to walk the 200 miles toLondon to discuss ways of openingthe mine again with the owners.The delegation arrives in London

Beals Solo UpcomingMargaret Beals' concert in the

Goodwin Theatre of the AustinArts Center, on Feb. 4, will include"pure, dance", improvization, and"danced poetry." Danced poetry isa new, highly acclaimed theatre-dance form pioneered by Ms.Beals. Dance Magazine says,"Beals' danced poetry is an extraspecial gift." The program willfeature the poetry of Edna St.Vincent Millay, Sylvia Plath andCarl Sandburg. Also performedwill be the danee "Madhonor" andworks created with MusicianMichael Rod.

Tickets are $4.00 for generaladmission and $2.50 for studentsand senior citizens. Through thecourtesy of a Student GovernmentAssociation subsidy, Trinitystudents with I.D. will be admittedfor $1.50.

A special Master Class inImprovization will be offered byBeals at noon on the day of per-formance. Fees are $3.00 forparticipants and $1.50 for ob-servers. For information andreservations call the Austin ArtsCenter Box Office at 527-8062.

just as war is declared and the needfor coal becomes more urgent.

The owners are reluctant toreopen the mine because of thedangers involved. Emlyn convincesthe owners to allow them to takethe risk to attempt putting the mineback into operation. In theircourageous attempt, a cave-intraps the men. The only hope forescape is for one man to blast apassage through the fallen debris.

The comraderie of the miners iscontinually pointed up whether inthe pits, on the slag heaps or on thetrek to London. "Down here in themine we all look as black as oneanother. Down here race or colordoes not matter; we are all thesame, all workers and friendstogether." This is the socialcomment that is superimposedupon the universality of the musicmedium. "All through the night"

becomes a musical theme for themovie, and points up the reality ofan absence of sunlight down in thepit. The sympathetic, yet proud,portrayal of the mining com-munity's misfortune in the af-termath of the gas explosion is onlysurpassed by the compelling andmoving pathos of Robeson'srendition of the old Negro spiritual"Deep River."

As Robeson lights the all tooshort fuse to a dynamite charge atthe climax of the film in fullknowledge that his actions call forthe greatest sacrifice, one is forcedto reflect upon the sacrifice thatthis noble giant made in life for hisconvictions and his fellow man.

The impact of this final scene iseven more powerful when onerealizes that in reciting the lastspeech of Othello, Robeson's mostfamous role, in his last two con-

certs in the United States (Car-negie Hall in May, 1958 andMother A.M.E. Zion Church inJune, 1958), Robeson deliberatelychanged the words as he hadearlier done with "Old Man River."

"loved not wisely but to well" to"loved full wisely but too well."

Piano Recital: 2 Perspectives

Hard to Top It

The Trinity Tripod, January 31,197«, | i l l

by Lynn SusmanFriday evening. January 27, the

Trinity College Music Departmentpresented the first in a series ofFriday evening concerts, featuringDebbie and Suzanne Sobol, pianofour-hands.

The performance of piano four-hands differs from solo piano workbecause it requires a coordinationand technique very different fromsolo work and from mixed in-strumental ensembles.

The performance of the Sobolsisters was a duet in every sense ofthe word. As the lights went out,the audience was struck with thefeeling that they were seeingdouble. However, as the Sobolsisters played, the listener wasaware of the two opposing voiceparts blending to produce onesound. The matching outfits, thesimilar profiles, and the seeminglynatural synchronization of rhythmand movement enhanced themusical the technical excellence ofthis duo.

Debbie and Suzanne Sobol,both alumnae of Smith College,intended solo careers in piano, andteach today at Longy School inBoston and Haverhill Academy,respectively. Debbie and Suzanneformed a duo in 1973. The playingof four-hands piano music is muchmore popular in Europe than in theUnited States; therefore much oftheir performing has been abroad.Both sisters agreed that the mostdifficult aspect of four handsplaying is the physical distance, Asobserved, especially in the bassruns of the Mozart Sonata, there isoften little room in duet playing."Being sisters helps here,"remarked Suzanne,", as you don'tmind an occasional poke with anelbow." Debbie commented thatthe whole technique of duetplaying differs from solo work. Apianist tends to have a heavy righthand, whereas in duet work the left

hand must play strongly andsupport the melody line. Onlistening to the Sobol sisters,however, it is apparent that thesedifficulties are practically non-existent for them and their duetplaying is free from technicalproblems.

The selections performed byDebbie and Suzanne Sobol con-tained some of the great works ofpiano four-hands repertoire. Theprogram opened with FranzSchubert's Fantasy in F Minor. TheFantasy was characterized by itscontrasting movements from afluid allegro molto moderato,followed by the Largo and thedynamic passages of the Allegrovivace. The articulate phrasing andlyrical right hand melody wereparticularly good features of thisperformance.

Schubert's F Minor Fantasy wascontrasted by the lesser-knownpiano sonata of Paul Hindemith.The Hindemith sonata wassuperbly performed, technicallyand musically. The sonata openedwith dissonant passages whichchanged from modern to romantic.The middle movement "Lebhaft"had a Gershwin-like jazz sound.The third movement furtherdemonstrated the technical andartistic ability of each sister,particularly with the bass melodies.

The second half of the programopened with the delightful DebussyPetite Suite. The Sobol sistersillustrated the flowing quality ofthe work. The rolling passages inthe bass of En Bateau indeed gavethe impression of floating on thewater. The nature of the Cortegewas light and sunny. Both, theminuet and ballet had the delicateand graceful qualities peculiar tothe music of Claude Debussy. Thispiece was very much enjoyed bythe audience and the sisters due toits light and charming nature.

The finale of the program wasthe Mozart Sonata in F Major. Thefinest of all duet sonatas, it ischaracterized by its grandiose andsymphonic nature. The sonatabegins with an adagio theme whichexpands to symphonic proportionsin the Allegro di molot. The geniusof the Sobol sisters in this piece istheir ability to create the sounds ofan orchestra. One could haveclosed one's eyes and effortlesslyimagined a pair of horns and oboes.The Andante was a stately,majestic movement transformingone back to the courts of Mozart'stime. The Allegro movementcontinued the stately nature of theAndante with more jesting andfolly suggested. The piece againrose to symphonic proportions withthe intertwining of melodies andharmonies. The Sobol sistersperformance of the Mozart FMajor Sonata glorifies celebratedMozart on his 222nd birthday.

The performance of the Sobolsisters was intriguing to themusician and amateur. The nextconcert in the Friday evening serieswill be on February 10 .

John Rose and the brass ensemble will be performing in the Chapelon February 3rd at 8:15 p.m.

If Only It Hadn't Been Mozartby Tony Shenton

Schubert's Fantasy (op. 103, D.940), a piece with a spritely melodyin rhythm and dynamics, ischaracteristic of a pre-romanticpiece. From an allegro moltomoderato, the fantasy progressedto a largo, in double and tripledotted rhythm, forcing theperformers to use their innermostreserves of rhythmic sense.Adorned melodies in imitative styleled the way back to anotherallegro, which combined the twoprevious forms in melodic andharmmonic style. However, thismovement, with the additional

"vivace" marking, showed thepianists' virtuosity by means of itsvery moving and swift melodies.The last movement was a return tothe first tempo and theme, but witha new development section. Theartists played with great dexterity,and with great attention to thedifficult details of this piece.

Dissonant to the ear, the Sonataby Hindemith aroused greatcontroversy: from the audience,ranging from overly negative tohighly laudatory.

The duo played the movingcontrapuntal and chordal sectionsof the first movement and the thirdmovement well, but the secondcaptured the most attention.Playful melodies dominated it,bopped by very strategicplacement of rests for a "stoptime"effect. It was this bounciness thatmade even those who dislikedHindemith find somethingmagnetic about the work, andthose who already liked it foundthat this was the most memorable

movement of the concert.As this is a slightly im-

pressionistic work, the Petite Suiteprovided a delightful contrast tothe Hindemith. Both performersseemed to like this work.

Often called the finest Mozartfour-hand sonata, this rendition ofthe piece proved why only greatduos should attempt it. With itsdifficult ornamentation and rathersudden distinct dynamic changes, itproved a great challenge for thetwo, which was not quite sur-mounted. Throughout the wholework, (Adagio, allegro, andante,and allegro), the sense of musicalincohesiveness prevailed betweenwhat was written and what wasplayed, making this the leastsatisfactory work on the program.

Nevertheless, the Sobol sisters'talents are not small, for theycertainly had great success with thefirst three pieces on the program •and this reviewer hopes that theMozart will reappear in better format a future concert.

Varsity Hockey Snaps Losing Streakby Nancy Lucas

The Bants of Trinity got over atwo game losing streak by beatingNichols at the Glastonbury Arenaon Saturday, 5-3. After beingdefeated by Division III power-house, Westfield State, on Mon-day, 8-5, and Iona, 6-3, onWednesday, Saturday's win madethe Bants glad to be home.

In the Springfield Olympia onthe 23rd, highly ranked WestfieldState took control in the secondperiod with four unanswered goals.The score prior to that had been2-2, as a result of goals by ClintBrown and Charlie LaLone, thelatter coming while Trin wasshorthanded.

Trinity came within two whenthe outstanding effort of BobPlumb produced a goal, with an

assist going to Peter Lawson-John-ston. George Brickley then addedtwo, bringing his season total to 18.But time was Trin's foe, and thegame ended as a loss for the BlueBantams.

Hoping to better their record inDivision HI, the Bantams made thelong trek to the WestchesterSkating Center to meet Iona..Iona surprised everyone by coming \out flying, and they outshot andoutscored the hapless Bants. DavePeters scored in the second period,knocking in the rebound of a goodshot by Tom Chase which hadhandcuffed the goalie. Clint Brownalso picked up a goal in that periodwhen he tipped in Dana Barnard'sblistering shot from the point on apower play.

Women's SquashTriumphant

by Katrina Abort

Last Saturday the women'sVarsity squash team met Middle^bury and Wesleyan, at Wesleyan,for a tri-match. The Trinity womenproved to be far stronger thaneither of their opponents, beatingMiddlebury, 7-0 and wiping outWesleyan, 6-1.

Among the matches played,there were some exciting ones.Captain Marion Dewitt, #1, had agood match against the #1 playerfor Middlebury, and Beth Davisonhad a very close contest against herWesleyan opponent. Most of theother matches were won in threegames.

Although the matches were notthat tough, it was tiring to playtwice in one day. The players foundthat Coach Millspaugh's urging tobe in shape had proved to be adefinite assets especially the se-cond time around.

The team is looking ahead withconfidence to a strong season,

despite some initial concerns.Trinity will meet both of these

teams again within the next week,Middlebury first, here at 4:30 onFebruary 2nd, then Wesleyan andmany other east coast teams for theHowe Cup Tourney at Yale. Thetop eight players will travel to NewHaven next week for the Tourney.

The women's J.V. team playedTaft last Tuesday, January 24th.The team had very few problems inbeating the Taft girls, shuttingthem out 9-0. For some of theplayers, it was the first matches oftheir squash careers. They did finejobs and are ready to do the samein the next match. The J.V. looksforward to a strong, and hopefully,winning season, as does the varsity.

Next week's matches will be onJanuary 31st, J.V. vs. Westmin-ster at 6:00 and on February 2nd,there is another tri-match for theVarsity against Middlebury (4:30)and U. Penn (7:30). Both are athome. See you there I

Part Threes The LastTwo Decades

two successors to Ray Oosting'sthirty-three year reign as headcoach, put together eight of thefinest and five of the dismalestseasons ever achieved by a Trinitybasketball team, along with ahandful of borderline campaignsthat could have gone either way.

Oosting's final season was avery poor 1-17 showing, and thefollowing year's team, while dis-playing some improvement underthe aegis of Jay McWilliams,continued in basically the samevein with a season's mark of 4-12.The 1959 squad was a solid .500club, and with the dawning of thenew decade, the sixties, JayMcWilliams put together a fine14-4 squad in only his third year ashead coach. The fine shooting ofjunior John Norman was themainstay of that club.

In 1962 McWilliams again puttogether an excellent 11-7 team. Onthat team, then a sophomore, was afine scorer who was to become thefirst Trinity player to amass onethousand or more points during hiscollege career: Barry Leghorn,totalling 1,066 points between1961-1964, Leghorn began whatmight be called Trinity's era of the

thousand point star. Six other fineBantam basketballers achieved thismark or bettered it in the twelveyears to follow.

The Big Streak began in '64. Itwas McWilliams' final year * ascoach. He was to be suceeded bythe then freshman mentor RobertE. "Robie" Shults. During thethree years from 1964-66 theTrinity Varsity compiled a 44-15record, culminating in the finestBantam Basketball season ever:1966's incredible 18-3 achieve-ment. Leghorn, Jim Belfiore (1,369career points, a Trinity record), andDon Overbeck (1,139 career points)led this potent team. In his junioryear Belfiore averaged 24,5 pointsper game, and the team averaged89.1.

Robie Shults' career as TrinityBasketball coach was a series ofpeaks and valleys. After his initial12-7 and 18-3 teams, there followedthree years of mediocre results:9-12, 3-17 (aaughl), and 9-12. In1970 a fine 13-8 record was made,behind the stellar scoring ofHoward Greenblatt (1,214 careerpoints) and Joe Pantalone. Panta-lone's achievement of 1,124 pointsover his Trinity career is even more

impressive then you realize that hedid it in only three seasons. The82% foul shooting of Al Floyd alsocontributed greatly to the team'ssuccess.

In 1974 another superlativeseason, with an excellent 17-7record, took place. This was rapidlyfollowed by a fine 15-5 season in1976. Bob Pickard's foul shooting,and the consistently high scoring ofOthar Burks (1,130 career points)and Wayne Sokolosky (1,357 careerpoints) were the mainstays of thesefine years.

The college game has changedconsiderably since its inception.For Trinity the changes have beenfast and furious. It was only aquarter century ago that Trinitywas playing the likes of Holy Crossand Yale, and while not alwaysbeat them, still able to compete attheir level. Good basketball playersare rarer and rarer in small collegestoday, and because of what I callthe "recruiting cycle" the historyof Trinity Basketball is and evershall be a graph of peaks andchasms. Still, there was a glory, nottoo long ago, and there will beagain.

Varsity Hoopsters Fall To 1-7fey John Mayo

, The Trinity Basketball team'sdismal hoop season continued asthey dropped two lopsided conteststo Williams (87-49) and Kings Pt.(79-59). the Bantams are now 1-7on the 77-78 campaign.

The Bantams took the long busride to Williamstown last Tuesdaybut it wasn't nearly as long as thetrip back turned out to be. Williams(5-4) stretched a 35-25 half-timelead into an 87-49 blowout of TheBantams. Trin was clearly domi-nated in two major facets of thegame. Not only did they lose thebattle of the boards, 38-22 but they

.also shot a woeful 30% from thefield compared to a creditable 52%for The Ephmen. The Trinityscoring attack was lead by Artie

Blake's 16 points and SophomoreBarry Shendell's 13 markers.

Then Friday night before thehome fans, Trinity jumped out to aquick 5-0 lead over Kings Pt. on a3-point play by Jackie Thompsonand a bucket by Dave Whalen. Thelead blossomed to 24-10 midwaythrough the half as Thompson andWalen combined for 7 more hoops.In fact, things were going so wellfor the Bantams that little 5 '8"Senior guard Steve Krasker evenmanaged to tip in a missed shot.

, Unfortunately, the taller visitorsfrom The Merchant Marine Acad-emy settled down and worked theballlow for good percentage shots.Also, trinity's torrid shootingturned completely cold over the last10 minutes of the half. As a result,Kings Pt. went to the locker room

trailing only 40-36.Things got even worse m fee

second half as the Bants couldn'tseem to buy a basket. They scoreda modest 2 points in the initial 7minutes of the second half. Notonly was Trinity shooting blase buttheir shot selection was also poor.

Meanwhile, Kings Pt. contin-ued to pile up the points with theirinside game. Trinity's coach BillHarmon was so disgusted with histeam's play in the second half thathe put in an entire new team at the13-minute mark. In the fourthperiod, about the only thing twcrowd had to cheer about wasWillie Rosshirt's high hurdle otchair to save the ball from goingout of play. Whalen and Thompsonlead the scoring with 12 andpoints respectively.

In the Kings Pt. Contest, BillGabor was a one-man gang in thefirst half. He had 12 of Trinity's first14 points, some pretty assists andhe also forced several turnovers.Gabor, along with John Bertolini's3-point play and some sloppyballhandling by the visitors,enabled Trin to lead at the half, 33-28.

It was an incredible winningweek for Men's Varsity Squash atTrinity. On Wednesday theracqueteers took on the Lord Jeffsof Amherst, and Trin triumpheddecisively, 8-1 in the final stan-dings. Then over the weekend theBantams swept all comers in theJohn A. Mason Round-RobinSquash Championship Tourney,played on Trinity's home courts.

A melange of spectators wereon hand to witness Wednesday'sannihilation of Amherst. Much ofthe attention was focused on courtft 3 where Page Landsdale took onT

the best that Amherst had to offer.The first game was close and ex-citing, ending at the tie-breaker 17-16 Landsdale. The second gamewas taken by his Amherst op-ponent 6-15, but then he came onstrong, and the final two gameswent 15-9 to Landsdale. This matchbetween that day's two premierplayers seemed to set a pattern ofevents which recurred throughoutthe rest of the Varsity contest.Amherst would come on strongearly in a match, and then wouldfade slowly, giving way to Trinity'stenacious determination and hardconditioning.

Led by the stellar play ofsquash-men Rick Kermond andChris Myers, the Bantam JVs shutout Amherst's second team 9-0.The next day they performedequally well against the WesleyanJV, thoroughly dominating them inall matches.

On Friday the John A.

There's not much to say here.All nine of Trinity's starters: PageLandsdale, Charlie Wilson, CharlieJohnson, Scott Friedman, RobDudley Craig Asche, AlecMonaghan, Andy Vermilye, andJamie Webb, performed ex-tremely well and are to be com-mended. Trin's triumph over arch-rival Wesleyan was refreshing, butColby didn't offer that muchcompetition. Bowdoin offered thestiffest resistance, but in the endwent the way of all the rest.
