by Cindee DokasSenior Staff Writer

Trinity's chapter of ConnPIRG,the fund raising division, has justbeen nominated among the topthree college fundraisers for theNational Student CampaignAgainst Hunger. Those whoheaded this venture were Louise

McCarthy and Kate Reavey, chair-persons of fundraising; Patti Sini-cropi, head of ConnPIRG, andChris Quinn.

St. A's Becomes NationalHistorical Landmark

• •'.•'• ohota, bjr Virginia McLaury

The St. Anthony's fraternity house has been dedicated as a nationalhistorical landmark.

The meeting house of the DeltaPsi(St. A's) fraternity was de-clared a national monument by theConnecticut Chapter of the Regis-tar of National Landmarks lastSaturday.

St. Anthony is the oldest build-ing to still be in use as a fraternitybuilding in the state.

St. Anthony Hall was built in1878 for $28,000, all of which wasdonated by brother Robert Haber-sham Coleman(Class of 1877), whowas the heir to a large coal miningfortune. St. Anthony Hall rests onthe highest point o£ land in Hart-ford, and for that reason was usedfor the burning of witches duringthe early years after its construc-tion.

By Deborah L. OwenStaff Writer

Who's who on the Trinity Cam-pus: highlights of the newest faceon the long walk. This week, wewelcome Joann Pulver, AssistantDean for Student Activities, who

began her duties last Monday.Pulver will be the new liason be-

tween all recognized studentgroups and the Dean of Studentsoffice. She will be working closelywith a variety of people, and hope-fully will bring some organizationand coordination to our campus ac-tivities.

Specifically, some tasks she willundertake include working di-rectly with groups to help monitorand spend their budgets, planningand developing new ideas for cul-tural and social events, and com-municating closely with the SGA.

Dean Winer, when questionedregarding Joann Pulver, ex-pressed very positive opinions. Hefeels that the- 70 or so studentgroups "have been floating, somesuccesfully, others sinking. Theyneed the anchoring force that thenew Assistant Dean can offer."

Pulver has had a substantialamount of experience in dealingwith undergrads. Most recently,she worked as the Assistant Direc-tor of Residential Life at RamapoCollege in New Jersey. She alsowas involved in student program-ming and disciplinary hearingwork at Ramapo.

Pulver holds a Master of Sciencedegree in Counseling from CentralConnecticut State Collge. She hasstudied abroad, both in Italy andin Prance and speaks fluentFrench.

Eventually, the new AssistantDean's job will expand to. involve

working with Tina Dow and theR.A. program to help coordinatetheir functions. Pulver might alsoundertake some extensive studiesof undergraduates at Trinity, oursocial life, interactions, etc.

Pulver will be easily accessible.Her office is centrally located inMather Campus Center. She willwork some evenings and be on callas well, plus she has chosen to liveon campus, immersing herselfcompletely into the trials and trib-ulations of Trinity residential life.

The Hall was dedicated onHomecoming Day (Saturday Nov.9th) and the ceremony was at-tended by several St. Anthony al-umni, including Steve Hamilton,the head of the alumni foundation.The classes of St. Anthony Hallalumni attending ranged from theclass of 1931 (Charles Kingston) tothe present. President English wasalso supposed to attend the cere-mony, but was unable to do so.

They had sponsored a bake sale,collected money at football games,sold "Peed the Hungry" buttons,and sold tee-shirts that Universityof Connecticut had made.

Perhaps the most ingenious andexciting event was the World Hun-ger Party. It took place at the PsiUpsilon house. Each fraternity do-nated one or more kegs; the soror-ities donated food and alternativebeverages. All proceeds were do-nated to the hunger campaign.

In the future, ConnPIRG plansto have a candy sale. In addition,they will publish a World Hungerleaflet which will list all benefac-tors and sponsors, who are fromlocal businesses, which have do-nated to the fund.

In the end of November, thegroup will find out the results ofthe competition. Regardless of theoutcome, spokesmen from Conn-PIRG consider it quite an honorfor Trinity's ConnPIRG to be se-lected among the top three col-leges in the country. In physicalside, Trinity was the small schoolsurrounded by the large universi-ties of Rutgers and Berkely,

Saturday's inclement weather brought a short preview of the winter tocome.

Officials Discuss Dormby Patrick J. Trostle

Assistant News Editor

College officials met with repre-sentatives from three architectualfirms last Tuesday to plan the con-struction of a new dormitory.

Although details are sketchy, thenew dorm will be built west of PsiUpsilon fraternity on VernonStreet, according to the Directorof Residential Services Tina Dow.

"A number of different locationswere considered. There is theimpression that if the campus is tomove in one direction, it will benorth. It (west of Psi U.) is a goodplace to put a new facility. Thenorth side of campus needs pro-

gramming space," Dow said.The dormitory will house 100 to

145 students and contain a largepercentage of single rooms. Theproposed three-story dwelling willcontain a large multi-purpose roomto house student functions, shesaid. Dow stressed that the dormis being built to remedy presentovercrowding, not to accommo-date a larger student population.

No timetable has yet been set forthe construction of the new facil-ity, according to Dow, She addedthat details are still in the planningstages, including design and sizeof the structure.

The specifics of the new dormiJ

tory will be discussed in the nexttrustee meeting.

Could it possibly be "morallypermissible" to ration medicalservices purely by age? Accordingto Norman Daniels, Ph. D., Profes-sor of Philosophy at Tufts Univer-sity, Medford, Mass., this may be' •morally necessary under certainnarrow conditions

The Sloan Foundation Technol-ogy and Medicine Lecture Seriespresented "Health Care and theQuestion of Distributive Justice,"a lecture based more on theoreti-cal ideas than on future possibili-ties.

Daniels centered the basis of his"pure-age theory" around a"prudence" that will be our guideto what "justice demands." As thepressures exerted by an ever in-creasing aging population fjirtherburden our funds allocated tohealth care, our basically open-ended, unbudgeted system, evenwith its supposed cost contain-ment policies, cannot feasibly besustained.

Dr. Daniels further lamented ourpresent "not prudently designed"health care system by pointing outits problems. While the presentsystem does not give adequate careto the generally healthy or par-tially disabled , it spends vast sumsof money on long term care pro-longing acutely ill elderly people.Dr. Daniels also stated that he feelsthat much of what is done in theelderly care system is not favoredby the elderly themselves.

While continually returning tothe notion of prudence, Dr. Dan-iels stated that "it is society's dutyto react and change" the presentfaults of the system. His theory ofa selective age-based program wascentered around ideals that are atbest questionably moral. Many ofthose in attendance questioned thefeasability of the theory for moral,social, political, and even economicreasons. Although the theory wasbacked with research and perti-nent thoughts, one cannot possiblycomprehend, in our present soci-ety, allocating- our medical re-sources solely by the factor of age.

would there be a uniform systemof publication; and, just whatwould the reports tell us about theoffender, the crime committed andhis or her punishment.

At the original meeting, repre-sentatives were torn over the re-ports acting as deterrents. Manyagreed that it was a good idea;while others stated that the deter-rent should arise from the possibil-ity of getting punished. Somestudents felt that publishing thenames of those who committedsexually oriented crimes could onlydo more harm to the victim. Therewas also a definite concern aboutuniformity in the reports. DeanTolliver informed the SGA that atthat time, reports would be uni-form.

The final decision on that nightwas that offenses and punish-ments would be printed. In casesof repeat offenders, names wouldalso be published.

Dean Winer addressed the SGAon the reasons for publication. Hestated, there are two: The first isto provide accurate information,about what happens and to dispelrumors. The second is that in somecases publishing just may act as adeterrent.

Dean Winer addressed specificquestions for the next part of themeeting. Those things in which thevictim would suffer more wouldnot be published. Things whichwere punished would be uniform,but there would not be a uniformsystem as to what would and wouldnot be punished.

Dean Winer told the SGA thatregardless of their vote, the Dean'soffice had already decided to pub-lish the incidents and punishmentsreceived. In effect, the Dean wasthere solely act as a soundingboard for the SGA's questions. TheSGA then recommended to DeanWiner that no names be published.

at the beginning of a student's col-lege career, it is most difficult fora senior to be granted aid three-quarters of the way through his orher college stay. The scholarshipfund helps to offset the unex-pected financial burden, thereby,enabling the senior to graduate ontime.

By incorporating the notion of atwo year pledge, the College is as-sured of a predetermined amountof money for the Alumni Fund overthe next two years for the Glass of'86 and will also be able to keeptract of the whereabouts of theCollege's most recent graduatingclass.

Since 1968, each graduatingclass has awarded a Class Gift tothe College at commencement.Through these gifts to the College,Trinity has acquired such usefuland necessary items as the footballfield Scoreboard (1978), the infor-mation kiosk between Mather andJones (1979), four George Chaplinpastels (1980), the soccer field sco-reboard (1981), and the Janus-likesculpture commemorating coedu-cation at Trinity (1985). By takinga more philanthropic approach tothis giving, tradition, seniors are

..recognizing the needs of theirpeers in these uncertain economictimes.

It is the hope of the precedingClasses of '82 through '85 that bycontinuing the Endowment FundScholarship this year in the futureyears a sizable scholarship will beestablished, and a student in needwill be able to graduate with his/her peers. ;

ORLD OUTLOOK

Soviet Emigrationby Laura Evangelista

World Outlook Staff

Since President Reagan an-nounced at the United Nations thathe was going to stress the humanrights issue instead of nuclear dis-armament at Geneva, all eyes arenow focused on what is actuallygoing on in the Soviet Union. Themain focus of concern is the Sovi-et's policy on emigration. Soviet'swho are confined to Russia andwho desperatly want to be allowedto leave the country are hopful thatall goes well at the talks.

In 1979, Jewish emigration fromthe Soviet Union hit it's peakreaching 51,200. Impressive? Butthe following year, it fell to 1,000and has basically stayed the samerate since. Why did the SovietUnion get such an urge to allow allthis emigration? Not surprisingly,it was not just, a whim. The Sovietsseem to do this occasionally beforeany major international event. Asin the case of the high rise in emi-gration of 1979, the United Statesand Soviets were discussing thegranting of trade concessions. InJuly, 174 Jews were allowed toleave the Soviet Union. Not bysheer coincidence, it was just be-fore the tenth anniversary confer-aence of the Helsinki accords.

, In the past, the United Stateshas emphasised that they want

spouses of American citizens to beallowed to come to America. Itseems that one thing the upcomingtalks have accomplished was to getMr. Gorbachev to review the listof two dozen spouse for emigrat-tion.

While present American lawstates that the Soviet Union is in-eligible for normal tariffs, most-favored nation treatment and sub-stantial credits until the presidentthinks that the emigration laws areliberalized, the Soviets do not seemtoo phased by the law.

Even now when the talks aredrawing near, the Soviets arestaying right in character. Mr.Gorbachev said,"I would be gladto hear of Jews enjoying anywheresuch political and other rights asthey have in our country."And,typically, they have tried to re-verse the issue. Broadcasted ontelevision and the radio are thehorrors of America: the poverty,the homeless, and the unemploy-ment. They also have horrifyingstories of harassment by the Fed-eral Bureau of Investigation.

Not much in the past has pushedthe Soviets into having a steadyrate of emigration. The UnitedStates' five allies are all in favorReagan's goal at Geneva. Hope-fully, this time round the talks willbe able to do something for thosehelpless in the Soviet Union to al-low them to leave.

Columbia's MiseryA Matter Of Individual Survival

by Tory ClawsonWorld Outlook Staff

Late on Wednesday night, No-vember 12, the Nevada del Ruizvolcano in Colombia erupted forthe first time since 1595, The dam-age of the volcano was horren-dous. The town of Armero,population 25,000, was the hardesthit. The casualties are enormous —21,509 deaths in 14 towns, 19,000people left homeless, and at least2,453 people were injured.

Indeed, this could be simply astory of awe-inspiring figures. Butthe situation in Columbia is one ofpeople, not numbers. Numbers aslarge as 20,000 do not register.Upon first hearing of the volcanoon Thursday, a student here atTrinity was very upset and men-tioned it to a friend. The reply wassimply, "So what!" At first thisremark seems callous and igno-rant, but, really, it is understand-able. In order for all of us.here atTrinity to further understand thefull, horrible impact of the disas-ter, the story has to be presentedon a more personal level.

We must look at the plight of a'thirteen year-old girl who waslocked neck-deep in water by thedeath embrace of her aunt. Howdid she arrive in such a horribleposition? Perhaps the two werewalking together peacefully whenthey heard the volcano. They be-gan to run, but to no avail, for themud and rushing water quicklycame and crashed against them,dragging her aunt down, scream-ing as the girl stuggled to remainstanding, All she could do wasstand there, fighting for her ownlife as she watched her aunt dis-appear under the muddy water,groping clumsily at her niece'slegs, gasping for air.

What an absolutley horriblescene. Yet it was on only one ofthousands of scenes like it

throughout Armero on that horri-ble Wednesday. Fortunately, thegirl was rescued, but hundreds ofother people are stranded underthe mud. Leopoldo Guevera Sepul-veda, a civil defense worker, la-mented the futility of the rescue,saying, "There are many peopletrapped out there alive, but theyare going to die. The mud is 12 and16 feet out there, and we can't get.to them." This is, indeed, the mostupsetting part of the disaster —people who will not survive after48 hours of struggling for theirlives. Sr. Sepulveda decribed theplight of a couple who "were trap-ped in a car blowing their horn ...The horn stopped a little whileago."

As the recue efforts continue,the situation worsens. The piles ofdead bodies scattered throughoutthe town are posing a serious ty-phoid threat, and now volcano spe-

. cialists are speculating that thevolcano could erupt again. There-fore, people must leave their rela-tives, alive or dead, behind, underthe mud, as they flee to Bogota.The matter is now simply one ofindividual survival. s

Humanity Amidst The Missiesby Kelly Keating

World Outlook Staff

Two men will be meeting thisweek and the possible fate of theworld rests the outcome of theconference. President Reagan andSoviet leader Mikail S. Gorbachev•will be holding eight 'hours of talksin Geneva, Switzerland on Nov-vember 19-20. These talks couldprovide the basis for a long termrelationship between the UnitedStates and the USSR- a relation-ship which will hopefully ease ten-sions and ultimately reduce therisk of nuclear confrontation.

Without a douubt this aspect ofthe summit is the most vital to theworld. But lurking amid the inter-continental ballistic missies, thecruise missies, the bombs, thebombers and the dreams of themilitarization of space is the issueof human rights.

The human rights issue mainlyconcerns the plight of Soviet Jewswho are trying to leave the USSRand political dissidents who haveclashed with the Kremlin.

President Reagan has stated thathe will raise the topie during thetalks even though the Soviet Unionbelieves that the human rights is-sue has no place at the summit.

The President plans to approach• the issue by appealing to Soviet

self-interest. He will argue that theAmericaan public is most con-cerned about Moscow's abuse ofhuman rights. Therefore, a favor-able change in Soviet policy mightinduce the United States morewilling to conclude agreements inother areas such as arms control.

It seems as if the Soviet Unionhas reached the same conclusion as

the President. For example, it hasrecently ben announced that Ye-lena G. Bonner, the wife of AndreiD. Sakharov, will be allowed to goabroad for medical treatment. Inaddition, Irina Guvnina, an activistwho served in a labor camp due toher publication of abuse in psychia-tire treatments, has been freed.Furthermore, many Jews such asAleksandr Brusilovsky, a violinistand Dmitr Golenko, a scientisthave been granted long-awaited vi-sas and will be allowed to emi-grate.

Yet these few and slight shiftsin Soviet policy are more for fan- ,fare than true change. These ac-tions are propaganda stuntsdesigned to improve the Soviet im-age at Geneva. This ploy was justused in July when before the tenthanniversary of the Helsinki Ac-cords Moscow allowed 174 Jews toemigrate. One month later in Aug-gust though only 29 Jews werepermitted to leave the USSR.Overall Jewish emigration fromthe Soviet Union is quite low. Itreached its peak in 1979 when51,200 Jews emigrated whereaslast year less thanl.OOO were per-mitted to leave.

Believing this to be true are thehopes of Jews wanting to leave theSoviet Union futile? Hopefully not.

• A senior official of the ReaganAdministration stated that if the.Soviet Union allowed "significantmovement" of Jews and others theUnited States would consider theeasying of restrictions on tradewith Moscow. The Administration,howver, does not see the Sovietsas being very responsive to thisproposal.

It is important to understand thelink between emigration and trade.An American law sponsered byformer Senator Henry M. Jackson

of Washington and former Repre-sentitive Charles A. Vanik of Ohio-states that the Soviet Union "isineligible for normal tariffs, most-favored nation treatment and forsubstanial credits" until the Pres-ident believes that Moscow's emi-gration policy is sufficientlyloosened.

As a senior official of the ReaganAdministration stated, "What weare going to be doing is laying out

. our concerns (human rights) , seewhether we might get some sortof response from them and thenthere might be a response on ourpart." Hopefully by employing thisuseful and attractive bargainingchip will allow President Reaganto pursue the discussion of humanrights in Switzerland.

Clearly the issue of nuclearweapons and their future is andshould be paramount at the sum-mit. In order to insure peace thisdiscussion must occur withoutwhich human rights will mean verylittle. But what President Reaganand Soviet leader Gorbachev mustkeep in mind are people such asIda Milgorm and her son AnatolyB. Shcharansky. "I ask you Mik-hail Sergeyevich be humane andrelease my son who is guiltlesslysuffering in prisons now for almostnine years. Help me to see my sonat liberty and to peacefully live outthe few years left me." stated Mrs.Milgorm in an open letter to Mr.Gorbachev.

Often geovernments forgetabout those whom they govern likethe plight of Mrs. 'Milgorm and herson. President Reagan and Mr.Gorbachev must remember1 thishuman factor in their discussionsfor it is on this which rests thechance for true peace. And maybeMrs. Milgorm will soon see her sonagain.

ORLD OUTLOOKAmerica: Obsessed With TEe Monarchy

By Hutch RobbinsSenior Staff Writer

Royal hysteria is nauseating. Notthat I have anything against Brit-ain's royal family. In fact, they dowhat they do (which is acting royal)very well. They are probably ex-tremely nice people who are tiredof being dumped upon, scritinized,and photographed by the amoralBritish press. This, however, doesnot give normally reserved andcynical people liscence to lose theircomposure over a man with bigears and a woman who owns moreclothes than the good folks of Ba-bylon, Ohio own combined.

In a news week that was fairlyslow, as far as gross tragedy orinjustice goes, Charles and Diana'sarrival was a heaven-sent blessingfor the journalism business. Majormagazine editors now had some-thing to put on their covers, com-

plete with patronizing captions.Much of our nightly newscast waspreoccupied with in-depth looks atexactly what Diana said at tea,what she meant, why she said it,and how it affected her marriage.

Perhaps I am being undulyharsh. True, Charles will one daybe King of England, barring mis-hap, and Diana will be his Queen.Yet that in itself is not sayingmuch. Monarchy has had its hey-day. We Americans, who went intoa social uproar over this visit,opted against monarchy a meretwo hundred years ago. In reality,the world would turn just finewithout monarchy. Tradition be-comes the key word in this situa-tion.

Being a young country, we havenot had the opportunity to build alasting tradition that can comparewith the British monarchy. TheEnglish love their royalty out oftradition and I respect that. But,

why, oh why, does that mean thatwe must treat them like some-thing beyond us? We have no prob-lem harping on the faults ofMargaret Thatcher, but the roy-alty are beyond true insults. Sure,they are ever the subject of scan-dal, but are the same not-so-kindwords that are applied to Mrs.Thatcher ever applied to Diana? Ofcourse not. Admit it, the mystiqueof royalty interests, in some formor another, all but the hardest an-archists.

Witness this sad example. Mybirthday happened to coincide withthe day of Charles' and Diana'swedding. Usually, I sleep late, verylate, on my birthday. Not this time.I was dragged out of my warm bedby a pair of hysterical parents, bit-ten by royal fever. Shivering, I wasforced to watch these two peoplebe married. Naturally, the bestpart was when Diana mangled herhusband-to-be's name. Nonethe-

less, the point being that peoplelose their sense of what is rightand just in the presence of royalty(in this case it was right and justto let me sleep).

I read, with arid fascination, anarticle descibing the royal couple'svisit to a mall in suburban Vir-ginia. The pair earned my respectin this effort. Nothing, nothing,nothing is more boring than goingto a mall in suburban Virginia. Yet,they smiled and acted interested.That takes training. Local Virgin-ians (never noted for their sanity)lined up outside the mall in the weehours of the morning to look at,cheer for, and if possible, talk toChuck and Di. That's the kind ofAmerican devotion to royalty thatwould have shocked quite a fewParisians as they lopped off theirKing's head in 1793. With this kindof support maybe we should bringroyalty back.

EditorialTRINITY TRIPOD

For Your InformationWe have witnessed so far this semester many unselfish

campaigns generated to raise funds to help alleviateworld hunger. Now another another noble campaign isbefore us: Oxfam America. Students will be asked tofast Thursday and donate food money to help the worldhungry. However, those fasting have a right to knowwhere that money will be going.

The New York Times reported last summer that $25million of the money raised in the United States throughOxfam went to the Nicarguan government - not directlyto the people, but to the government. Food was notgiven, money was sent

In addition, The Dartmouth, the offical daily of thecollege, reports that 44% of the funds donated to Oxfameach year do not go to feeding the world hungry: 17%goes toward general administration and 17% for publicityand 10% for "developmental education." The Dartmouthalso reports that Oxfam funds may also be used "...toproduce politicly biased literature, specifically attackingthe U.S. invasion of Greneda and American aid to CentralAmerica."

The newspaper quoted Oxfam spokesman Kevin Rocapas saying that any literature Oxfam distributes is "...po-litically non-partisan. Oxfam only takes a position againstpolitical events that are obstacles to the developmentwe try to create."

Of course, fasting on Oxfam America Day is more ofa statement of support for the starving people of theworfd than anything else. By fasting we show that wecare; we show that we are not caught up solely in ourlittle lives at Trinity.

World hunger is solvable. However, its greatest nemissmay be less famine and more politics than we think.Even representatives of the United Nations have ex-pressed frustrations they have experienced when dealingwith the politics of hunger. Wouldn't it be nice if theone thing we could all work together on is feeding ourfellow man?

Take a minute to fast on Thursday and show yoursupport for the starving peoples of the world.

ETTERSCoonPIRG Responds to Muirhead

Dear Editor:In response to Rust Muirhead's

Commentary that appeared in theNov. 7th issue of the Observer, en-titled "ConnPIRG Funding Re-quires Reform" the local board ofConnPIRG would like' to clarifysome of the erroneous statementsmade by Mr. Muirhead.

ConnPIRG is not Political Ac-tion Committee (PAC); the defini-tion of a PAC is a committee whichgives money to political officials.ConnPIRG is a non-partisan orga-nization with no affiliation with po-litical officials or candidates.

ConnPIRG is funded through arefundable fee mechanism, not anegative check off, based on a con-tract with the SGA. This system ismore than fair because it allowsthe majority of Trinity students(97%) to continue supporting uswhile giving the minority (3%) ofstudents an opportunity not tosupport us by getting their moneyback. A positive check-off wouldinconvienience the majority of thestudent body while forcing themembers of ConnPIRG to work onfund raising instead of on impor-tant issues in representing stu-dents.

Conn PIRG does not hire advi-sors but rather trained profession-als in the area of organizing,lobbying and research who offer

Blood DriveSuccessfulTo the Editor,

I would like tocongratulate Trinity College forone of their most successful blooddrives. On November 6,150 peoplepresented themselves at MatherHall's Washington Room to donatethe gift of life. This resulted in thesecond largest collection at TrinityCollege, 133 pints of blood. Therewere 29 first time donors.

The American Red Cross, Con-necticut blood recipients, and Ipersonally would like to tank allthose who participated in the drive.Their concern and support is al-ways needed, and is greatly appre-cieated. A special thanks goes toAndrew Filler and the Psi Upsilonfraternity for their recruitment ef-forts, adn Anne Gushee, Directorof Special Events, for her support.

• The next Trinity College blooddrive will be March 5th, 1986. Ihope to see you all there!

Sincerely, Joanne M. Mc-Corrnick, Assistant Director BloodServices, Greater Hartford Chap-ter.

technical expertise' to studentmembers.

Students who choose to do inter-ships with ConnPIRG do not re-cieve academic credit form ourstaff but rather earn credit fromfaculty advisors based on academicand field work.

According to the commentary,we take unfair advantage of stu-dents ignorance when giving re-funds. However, we attempt toeducate the entire student bodythrough our semesterly newslet-ter, the Channel, the ConnPIRGupdate in the Tripod, dorm sweeps,mail-box stuffers, and postersaround campus. If students have

further questions they should feelfree to contact any ConnPIRGmember or call our office in Ogilby.

The commentary claims that"many students...do not fully un-derstand our political process."ConnPIRG offer first-hand expe-rience for students who wish tolearn more about our democraticprocess through volunteer workand for our internship program.

We hope this letter has clarified,and will prevent further, miscon-ceptions of our organization on thepart of Mr. Muirhead.

Sincerely,Local Board of ConnPIRG at

Trinity College.

Nyklicek Responds to Rep ClubNote to the Editor: The opinions

expressed herein do not necessar-ily represent the views of the Trin-ity Anti-Apartheid Committee asan organization.

To the Editor:I was not aware that student

organizations here at Trinity Col-lege needed the approval of theTrinity Republican Club. As I amsure those Trinity Republican Clubmembers who attended our firstfew meetings are aware, the issueof whether or not to favor Trini-ty's divestment was debated atlength. We decided in favor of di-vestment. Those opposed to thatcourse of action were free not toparticipate.

Unlike the Trinity RepublicanClub, I believe that it is time forTrinity College to put its moneywhere its mouth is on the issue of

racism abroad as well as right hereon campus. There has been a lot oftalk about what Trinity is going todo. There has been a lot of talkabout what Trinity is going to do.There has yet to be any action. Ifear that Trinity College is goingto be known as a school that valuesits business investments more thanit values the high ethical princplesit was founded upon.

I urge the Trinity RepublicanClub to form its own organizationto combat racism at Trinity andSouth African apartheid as it seesproper. They can call it the "Trin-ity College Invest-in-South AfricaCommittee."

Jenkins Insensitive to Other HalfTo the Editor:

In reply to thearticle by George Jenkins in theNovember 12th issue of the Tri-pod, I think that Mr. Jenkin's at-titude is self-centered andinconsiderate. Did you ever stop tothink that the girl might have per-ceived your actions as being force-ful? Did you ever stop to thinkabout her feelings and that maybeyou were pressuring her intosomething she did not want to do?Maybe you idea of a "kiss" is dif-ferent than her's? I'm sure that ifyou are so willing to sleep withanyone on the first date, that youdon't have much respect forwomen at all or for yourself in thematter. Hey bud, sounds like yourego is a little sore and you wouldlike the Trinity community, espe-cially to women to see that you aresuch a sensitive guy. Well, you'reon the way to becoming a prettyshallow human being and I'm sur-

prised that you actually have agirlfriend. Finally, who are you tofeel victimized? How dare you treatan incident like rape with such asupercilious attitude! Why don'tyou go to a Women's Center meet-ing and find out how the other halfof the human race feel. You mightlearn something.

BLOOM COUMTY

Ah, it's fall. How do I know forsure? By the return of the TrinityCollege Blowing-Sucking-Scrap-ing-and-Bagging-Coalition. Don'ttell me you don't know who theyare. Each fall, they subtly insin-uate themselves into our collectiveconseiousnes, unalterably disrupt-ing our collegiate existences. (Ilove to use words like that)

Actually, they're those peoplewho spend hours and hours blow-ing and sucking leaves that havefallen from the trees, scrapingvines off the old buildings (al-though picturesque, the ivy vinesare harmful to the relatively softbrick of the older buildings) andthen packing up the whole messand carting to some place off-cam-pus where we'll never have to dealwith it again.

The hum of their machines be-comes such an accepted part of lifethat it's almost impossible to be-come fully aware of them. Sittingin class the other day, however,my attention wandered and myeyes came to the rest upon theirlittle pastoral scene. First, some-one blows the leaves into a big pilewith with a blower, and then some-one sucks them into the back of atruck with a sucker. Anyway take

notice of the T.C.B.S.B.C. thisweek.

And also form "The Same ThingHappens Every Year" depart-ment: For three years I have got-ten a lot of enjoyment from makinggreat amounts of fun of seniors asthey contemplate their Life AfterTrinity and attempt to find gainfulemployment for themselves. Theyspend hours at Hallden writingtheir resumes, buy new clothes,and try to perfect that certain walkthat employed people seem tohave. I've had a lot fun, but nowthe smoking gun turn in my direc-tion.

To be honest, I'm not all thatworried about getting a job. I amworried about finishing my thesis,but I do have an appointment atCareer Counseling soon. MyMother is actually more worriedabout what I'm going to do than Iam. She still can't understand whymy American Studies majordoesn't qualify me to practice den-tistry or accounting or some otherdefinitive, lucrative occupation.When I tell her I want to write,my Mother automatically envi-sions me rotting my life away inone of two situations; either in agarret (what is a garret?) like any

self-respecting starving writer, orin a Salvadoran jail for telling thewrong person off.

Career Counseling publishes maythings, but I haven't seen the onething I think seniors are really in-terested in: "A Survival Guide forPersons Recently Graduated."This pamphlet would unravel themysteries of grocery shopping,apartment hunting and cleaning,laundry, how to get realy gooddeals at Brooks Brothers when yougo to buy suits and what sneakersthe fashionable yuppy is wearingduring lunch this season. I reallythink that these are the issueswhich strike terror in senior'shearts; survival outside of theworkplace, how to look employedand responsible, regardless of thetruth of the matter.

Some of my best friends whograduated last year are currentlyunemployed. I just keep tellingthem the same thing my Motheralways tells me: "good things cometo those who wait." You must pre-pare yourself for rejectiong bythinking about whether or notyou'd ever work for an organiza-tion that wouldn't have you as amember.

Geneva: Diplomatic JunkfoodVisitors to Moscow say a theme

there is that President Reagan isa manipulated cipher within hisown government. Some membersofhife government probably thinkso, too, and hope to prove the pointby stuffing their agenda into anycommunique issued jointly by thetwo sides at the conclusion of thesummit.

Such a communique is utterlyoptional and obviously unwise.There was none at the conclusionof the Gorbachev-Mitterrand sum-mit. Mitterrand successfullyavoided having an. "arms-controlsummit." He constantly raised is-sues of human rights, includinglists of specific cases. This moraltone and concreteness preventedthe antiseptic and anesthetizingarcana of arms control from pro-ducing numbness, that absence offeeling that U.S. diplomats con-fuse with "an era of good feeling."

Mitterrand understands thatcommuniques issued jointly bydemocratic and totalitarian lead-ers must be vapid, to the totalitar-ians' advantage. Suchcommuniques are tissues of muzzyformulations falsely suggestingharmony and moral symmetry.

No summit is short enough, butall are short. Divide the time (inGeneva, two days) in half to allowfor meticulous translations. Thensubtract time for stilted niceties.Obviously summits must be pri-marily ratifying occasions, unveil-ing work done elsewhere. Now,imagine the draining and flatten-ing of language being done toadyby U.S. diplomats toiling to reiv-ent detente in a concluding com-munique designed to eviscerateReaganism.

Diplomatic boilerplate oftenproves that even the platituinouscan be injurious. If a joint commu-nique assets, contrary to reasonand history, that tensions yieldonly to dialogue, it trivializes thiscentury's great division betweenfreedom and its armed enemies.What is needed is not more di-alouge but less Soviet misbehav-ior.

Larry Speakes, reflecting an in-anity loose in the administration,says Reagan's first job is to con-vince the Soviets that "we don'tplan to run over them." Oh? DoesSoviet aggressin flow from inse-

curity, which U.S. policy hascaused nad now must assuage?

Add to that loopy idea the StateDepartment idea that "friction-less" is a synonym for "good" inthe phrase "good U.S.-Soviet re-lations." Then add Reagan's crav-ing for a "fresh start" in relations.Stir well and you will get a com-munique designed to blur edges,bleach colors and put both sides onthe same moral footing.

This is a recipe for diplomaticjunk food, for mental cholesterolthat clogs intellectual arteries withabsurd propositions, jointly af-firmed, such as this: Both sidessides equally value adherence toagreements.

That is rubbish, and if Reaganreturns to Washington having en-dorsed rubbish, he will have ne-gated his recent U.N. speech, inwhich he denounced "numerous"Soviet violations of "all" agree-ments of the 1970's. He also willhave repealed his five-year recordof objections to Soviet violations ofarms agreements and the HelsinkiAccords concerning human rights.

Speaking of arms agreements,how would <a joint communiquedeal with Soviet violations of thepact forbidding use of the sort ofchemical weapons the Soviets areusing in Afphanistan — the sortthe Soviet's Vietnamese allies areusing in Indochina? The Sovietpreference is for Goebbels-likedenials. They constantly call for a"comprehensive ban" on the kindof crimes they commit. The StateDepartment wants to be agreeable("frictionless") and adores agree-ments, so it probas vbv is lobbyingfor communique language thattreats both sides as equally com-mitted to banning such weapons.

Speaking of human rights, the. Soviets may soon perfume the Ge-neva atmosphere by settling a triv-ial number of human-rightsproblems without "interfering" inthe "internal affairs" of one an-other. That would mean the Hel-sinki Accords on human rights donot apply to the internal affairs of

• any country. They protect humanrights in...Antarctica'.'

How about a paragraph paintingboth sides as equally horrified vic-tims of terrorism. Never mind thatthe Soviet side is the foremost fun-der and organizer of terrorism.

Finally, a "fresh start" requirestossing some murders down thememory hole. A pledge of mutualefforts for improved air safetywould obliquely communicate thelie that the massacre of KoreanAirlines Flight 007 was the resultof a procedural flaw, not Sovietbrutality. Another pledge for "bothsides" to adhere to clear rules inGermany would intimate that themurder of U.S. Army Maj. Nichol-son, who slowly bled to death, wasthe result of another misunder-standing.

Were Reagan to leave Genevaenveloped in a cloud of such ver-biage, he would demoralize thosewho for 20 years have taken hisquite different words seriously.And he would be disdained bythose who would have successfullymanipulated him. Such Genevawords would retroactively dis-count his public life, and wouidconfirm Moscow's current theme.

Joint communiques generatemyths of moral equivalence. In Ge-neva, Reaganism requires reti-

TVRNIPSf tJOf

Nelson's EducationalUtopiaNoah A. Nelson.

Recently I conducted an infor-mal survey and found that thosesurveyed (5 friends of mine), likeI, believe that tests and exams areeducational devices that no longerserve their intended purposes;maybe they never have.

Upon receiving my syllabi, I be-gan to plot and plan my termaround the dreaded dates thatcould make or break my "educa-tional experience" at Trinity thissemester. Does this "fear and loa-thing" of test days and due datesreally serve an educational pur-pose?; I think not.

Tests and exams are, theoreti-cally, supposed to reinforce whatan individual has learned prior tothe test date. However, I believethat tests and exams, in reality,result in negative learning habitsfor both the good and bad stu-dents.

For the industrious student, thetest is not "an opportunity to showwhat he or she has learned," butinstead, it is little more than added

pressure in an already complicatedlife. Even if the student has a firmgrasp, on the material, the test re-mains a chore and responsibility,and therefore, it is, not a positivelearning experience for the indi-vidual.

For the "not so serious stu-dent," the test is an opportunityto put off work until the last min-ute. By following the syllabus, thestudent knows not only what is ex-pected but when it is expected also.Thus, an individual can, if desired,"cram" his or her educational ex-perience into one night a few timesa semester, only to forget theideas, purposes, and themes of thecourse by the next semester.

If my informal survey is any in-dication of how the student bodyas a whole feels, it would appearthat many students would preferto have their grades based solelyon class attendance and class par-ticipation. In order for a professorto varify a students' grasp of thematerial, students would still beresponsible for homework assign-

ments and papers, but minus thestigma attached to tests and ex-ams. Thus, the student would havea chance to learn from his or. hermisconceptions, and he or shewould be granted an opportunityto correct and clarify the miscon-ceptions without the pressure of"having to do well" on the nexttest.

Under such a format, students,good and bad, would trueiy be incontrol of their educational des-tiny. By concentrating their ener-gies in a more worthwhile manner,(not wasted by institional anxietiesor in a "midnight" cram session),students would find, in most cases,that they are not only learning andremembering material more read-ily, but they might also find thatthey have more time for activitiesthey had "no time" for before, (iesports, clubs, etc)For meand thoseI surveyed, this "educational Uto-:

pia" appears a lot more inviting,in theory at least, than our presentsystem of "fear and loathing" ed-ucation.

RTS&ENTERTAINMENTThe Concert Choir Performs"Music of the Twenties" at Austin Arts

by John PhelanCopy Editor

The Trinity community was en-tertained by music Saturday eve-ning as the Trinity Concert Choirpresented a performance entitled"Music of the 2Q's". Selectionssung were representative of themusic of the 1620's, 1720's, 1820's,and the 1920's. The composerswhose works were performedranged from Franz Schubert toRichard Rogers. Such a combina-tion, which could have led to merecacophony, instead made for apleasing diversity which served toshow off the Concert Choir to itsbest potential.

The first work to be performedwas Miriam's Song of Triumphwritten by Schubert in 1828. Thefeatured soloists of the piece werepianist Naomi Amos and sopranoLiesl Odenweller '88 who only re-

cently performed as the femalelead in the musicial Ruddygore.The piece, which consisted in a se-ries of complicated two-part and attimes three-part harmonies, was sowell articulated by Miss Oden-weller and the rest of the choirthat this reporter was able to dis-tinguish every word.

The selection used to representthe music of the 1620's was WeepNo More Thou Sorry Boy, com-posed by Thomas Tomkins. Thesong was written in two parts, onerefering to sorrow and the otherto joy. These two parts alternatedthroughout the piece so as to sym-bolize the alternating emotions ofjoy and sorrow in the lives of chil-dren.

The third piece performed, andthe one which ended the first halfof the concert, was The King ShallRejoice, composed by GeorgeFrederick Handel. The piece, com-posed in 1727, was originally writ-ten to serve as the coronationanthem for George II. Its lyricswere taken from Biblical texts. So-

loists for the second stanza of thepiece were Mark Davis '88, Ste-phen Houck '89, Elizabeth Loos'89, and Linda Smolack '87. Musi-cal accompaniment for the piecewas performed by a group of stu-dents from the Hartt School ofMusic.

The second half of the perform-ance opened with the Broadwaygenius of American composerRichard Rodgers. This genius wasexemplified in two of his most pop-ular songs," With a Song in MyHeart" and" Mountain Gree-nery". Soloists for the former piecewere freshman Michael Garver andVictoria Clawson. Both of thesenewcomers to the choir provedquite effectively the musical abilityof the group is not necessarily re-served to its upperclassmen. Mou-tain Greenery has long beenextolled as one of the ConcertChoir's personal favorites. Such afact was obvious from the spiritedmanner with which it was sung.

The fifth and final piece per-formed was one that is extremely

members of the Concert Choir

complicated and rarely even at-tempted by professional choralgroups. The selection,Les Noces,was written by Igor Stravinsky in1923. The style of the piece is rep-resentative of the artistic taste ofthe time, often referred to as cub-ism. Guest soloists for the piecewere gathered from New York andHartford which included sopranoBarbara Piece, mezzo-soprano So-fia Steffan, tenor Peter Harvey,and bass David Rae Smith. Fourpianists, Linda Laurent, John Pla-

toff, Naomi Amos, and SuzanneRisley, played in the piece as wellas percussionists from the Hartt ofMusic. The piece was made up ofdissonant chords, contending lyr-ics, and a general flurry of musicalvoices raised one against another.

In conclusion, many thanks needto be made. Such people include allthe featured soloists and the HarttSchool of Music. Special thanks goto Gerald Moshell, director of theConcert Choir, for an entertainingperformance.

Mrs. Peterson's voice. David Nel-son added to the group with hisaccompaniment on the Mridangamdrum. Also, Shira Cion, a studentat Wesleyan College, provided "asteady background of resonance"on the tambura. However, Ms.Cion did not seem to be in touchwith the true essence of the musicas the others were.

The performance included sixcompositions which appealed tospecific sacred gods and god-desses. After the recital, Mrs. Pe-terson explained that this wwasClassical Carnatic Music whichoriginated in South India. She ex-plained that each of the ancientpieces was comprised of a particu-lar scale of complex patterns ofnotes. Even the slightest changein the tone of one note will alterthe entire scale. The performersmust mentally memorize eachpiece because the songs are taughtthrough oral tradition.

Another interesting fact aboutCarnatic Music is that it stressesimprovisation as well as set music.

At the end of a regular composi-ton, the performers begin to cre-ate their own melody, but this muststill be based on the same scale.This way, every performance isnew and the players are allowed toexercise their individual imagina-tive talents.

Perhaps the most curious part ofthe recital was the hand move-ments made by the vocalist. Mrs.Peterson would slap her right handto her knee and then turn up herpalm in a pattern. Afterwards, shesaid the signs mock the beat of thepiece and tell when the song endsand improvisation begins.

In all, I found the recital to be arewarding experience of a differ-ent culture. It was educational aswell as entertaining. As a result,my musical taste has been broad-ened and I have developed a truerespect for the people of South In-dia who are so devoted to this art.If it is possible for you to witnesssuch a performance, I wouldstrongly encourage it...but makesure you check your socks first.

"It is tempting to predict thatKei Takei will go down in historyas one of the great choreo-grapgher of hour time. Certainlyher works over the past few yearshave a highly developed personalstyle and the absolute intergrity toequal a Humphry or a Graham."— -Kathy Duncan/Soho WeeklyNews

Kei Takei's Moving Earth, amodern dance ensemble, will beperforming this weekend in Gar-many Hall in the Austin Arts Cen-ter. The New York City-basedensemble comes to Trinity Collegeafter numerous showings through-out Europe, Asia, and the UnitedStates.

In order to understand the workof choreographer, Kei Takei, it isimportant to have some knowl-edge of her heritage. Ms. Takei'saffinity with nature and her use ofsuch natural objects as pine cones,rocks, and daikons (or radishes) asprops, comes directly from herpersonal life in Japan. Born in To-yoko, she spent her childhood ex-ploring the countryside and later,as a student of Classical Ballet,Modern Dance, and Japanese Clas-sical Dance. She remained thereuntil she was awarded the Full-bright Scholarship in 1967, whichenabled her to study at the Julliard

Saint Anthony Hallin cooperation with

The Trinity CollegeArt Club

is very proud to present

December 9 — December 11

the show will exhibit student artworkin all areas:

Painting, Graphic Design, Drawing,Photography, Sculpture.

Student works should be submittedbefore the 22nd of November.

School.Two years later, the Dance The-

atre Workshop presented Ms. Tak-ei's now famous "Light".Eventually, this became the firstout of nineteen series of "Light""and "part 20" of "Light" is in themaking. It is said that a mammothseven hours was required to showparts 1-19 at the Brooklyn Acad-emy of Music in 1975. The name"Light" was chosen by Ms. Takeibecause the Japanese equivalentrefers to an internal or spiritualligWTinside the body. Her spiritualinterest and affinity with nature iswhat makes her work so interest-ing.

While Kei Takei has been de-scribed as an avant-quarde cho-reographer because of her methodsand themes, we cannot forget thatthis Japanese dancer also has fun-damental ties with nature whichare simple and traditional. "Kei'sspirituality is a cosmic kind" saidLiz Brezer, a member of MovingEarth. "She feels the communityof ali Jiving things, a belief that isclose to the old-time Shinto doc-trine of Buddhism."

This photograph which showsMs. Takei performing "The Dai-kon Field Solo" from "Light, part

16" — illustrates this duality ofmodernism and traditionalism. Ms.Takei said she chose the Daikonsbecause they are something sheeats and is familiar with. In addi-tion to this celebration of the nat-ural world, Takei celebrates man'sharmonious relationship with na-ture and, in particular the cyclesinherent in this relationship. Shesaid" that there is beauty in workand in the cycles of birth, work,and death. In an interview withDan Cox of Dance Magazine, shepointed out that "Western peoplethink labor or work is a hard thingto deaJ with, a horrible thing. Ori-ental people think labor is beauti-ful."

Moving Earth will be perform-ing on Friday November 22 at 8:00p.m. This is a Performance Passevent, General Admission in $8.00.Following the dance concert willbe a free Master class on Novem-ber 23 at 10 a.m. (reservations re-quired) and a free lectureDemonstration on November 23 at2:00 p.m. This features a discus-sion of the work seen in Fridayevening's performance (GeneralAdmission is $6.00).

Lecture by NovelistJune Brindel

Novelist June Brindel to speak at Trinity

June Brindel — novelist, shortstory writer, and poet — will begiving a presentation entitled"Women in Greek Pre-History" atTrinity College on November 21.A former English professor at Wil-bur Wright College in Chicago,Brindel has published a collectionof short stories called Nobody isEver Missing and two novels whichoffer fascinating reinterpretationsof famous ancient myths. Ariadne(1980) was nominated for a Pu-litzer Prize. Brindel stated, "Thefirst novel in my trilogy, Ariadne,was published by St. Martin'sPress in 1980. It recreates the ex-perience of the last queen and God-dess-on-Earth of Crete during thefall of Knossos to the patriarchalGreeks. Desperately she attemptsto fulfill the oblilgations of her of-fice even though she is surroundedby power-hungry traitors and isbewildered by the growing conflictwithin herself. She feels keenly thetemptation to use the rational mindfor the exercise of power with norestraints and no concern for so-cial responsibility. However, she

knows from her traditional train-ing in the worship of the earth-goddess that such irresponsible ac-tion can lead only to destruction."

Phaedra, just published by St.Martin's Press, continues her fo-cus on the achievements of womenin ancient Greek society. In hernovel, Phaedra is a pacifist sur-rounded by militarists and the lastwoman aiive who is eligible for thematrilinear throne of Crete and theposition of "Goddess-on-Earth."Her presence in Athens stimulatesthe adherents of the old earth re-ligion to rebel against their war-loving conquerors.

Ms. Brindel is presently at woi-kon a new novel, Clytemnestra. It is-the third in her trilogy of historicalnovels retelling important mythsof ancient Greece in the light ofthe archaeological discoveries ofthe last century and from the view-point of women,

Pelle Lindbergh: AFallen Flyer Hero

Hartford Civic Center, Saturday, November 16th - "Pelle, We MissYou." "Hartford Remembers Number 31." "Pelle."

Everywhere you looked last Saturday at the Civic Center, there werememorial signs for the late Philadelphia Flyer goalie, Pelle Lindbergh,who died from injuries suffered during a car crash last week. The Flyers,playing only their second game without their stricken goalie, visited Hart-ford and beat the Whalers, 5-2.

Lindbergh was an outstanding goalie. He won the Vezina Trophy forbeing the National Hockey League's best goaltender and he led his Flyersinto last year's Stanley Cup Championship round, where they lost toEdmonton. The hockey world was jolted by the Lindbergh tragedy. TheOilers, Philadelphia's first opponent following the fatal crash, offered topostpone their game; the Flyers held an hour-long pre-game tribute toLindbergh before the Oiler contest; the Whalers even held a moment ofsilence for him before, their game with Minnesota last Wednesday. All ofthis mourning and ceremony is certainly well-founded. But before.every-one gets so caught up in grief and raises Lindbergh to martyr-like status,let's remember one thing; the man was legally drunk when he cracked uphis ear and, to make matters worse, he critically injured his two femalepassengers.

While alive, Lindbergh was a credit to the game of hockey, but the wayhe died insulted his classy reputation.

He was a young and talented goalie, a man who was absolutely reveredin his native land of Sweden, where excessive drinking is the nation'smost heinous vice. Alcholism rates in Sweden are the highest in the world.

Sports ViewAnd yet that country's hero died last week because of an accident thatresulted from drunk driving, one of the many ironies surrounding Lind-bergh's sudden death. Another was the fact the former Flyer goalie legendBernie Parent, the man who befriended Lindbergh and tutored him, hadan alcohol problem during his career. Another paradox: why was a guywho, according to teammates, never drank more than two beers at a timegetting drunk at a bar in New Jersey at 5:00 in the morning? It's under-standable that a player should celebrate a victory with his teammates, butwhy the sudden change in Lindbergh's character?

Lindbergh's passion was fast cars. But his $100,000 Porsche couldn'tnegotiate aw unfamfliar turn at 5:40 am cm^November 10th and Lindbergh,his reactions dulled from the .24% of booze in his bloodstream, paid theprice.: Unfortunately, the two female passengers, the innocent victims ofLindbergh's folly, remain in critical condition.

; - At the, risk of sounding too cliche, there are obvious lessons to be learnedfrom the Lindbergh tragedy, the most obvious being that reckless driving

1 and excessive drinking don't mix. But the other lesson we must learn: to' remind ourselves that athletes are human and that our idols do make

mistakes. Dumb ones. Let's not lose sight of that and raise them toobscure heights when.in fact .they don't always deserve it.

Perhaps It is fitting that some good did come about as a result ofLindbergh's carelessness; his organs were donated to those in need ofthem. In death, Lindbergh will give life. Undoubtedly, that was thisgoalie's greatest save.

Peile Lindbergh, rest in peace.

Whalers Hockey Updateby Sean Dougherty

Staff Writer

In the first month and a half ofthe 1985-86 hockey season theWhalers, are eight and eight. Theteam has shown real strength onoffense, but has been hampered bysporadic goaltending and inept de-fense. The team would be strongerat this point if not for a key injuryto talented sophomore wing KevinDineen. Playoff hopes, as usual,look dim but the team is improv-ing.

Last week the Whalers playedtwo games, a 5-2 win over the Min-nesota North Stars and a 2-5 lossto the Philadelphia Flyers. The de-fense played poorly in both games,but against the North Stars, theoffensive play of Bon Francis andPaul Lawless and sharp goaltend-ing of Mike Liut kept the pressureoff of the defense, The Flyers don'tgive you the same kind of breaks.you get against the North Stars,who fumbled several key oppor-tunities by missing the net. TheFlyers' depth is so great that theycan throw any of their four linesout against the Whalers' best andstill control the play. Such was thecase last Saturday. •

Against Philly, hustling wingerPaul Lawless scored for the Whal-ers along with Ray Ferraro, whoconverted a Ron Francis blast fromthe point into a power play goal.

This past week's Whaler Herowas Ron Francis. When he plays,he seems to be everywhere.Whether giving up his own scoring

chances to help players like RayNeufeld and Jorgen Petterssonsnap their own scoring slumps,covering for the Whalers' pourousdefense, or blocking shots to pro-tect goaltenders, Francis showswhy he is a three time all-star.Even without the name and num-ber on the jersey, you could stillpick out Ron Francis. Honorablemention goes to Lawless, whosehard working play has earned himincreased playing time.

This week's Whaler Villain isRisto Siltanen. Even compared tothe rest of the Whaler defense,Risto looks terrible. He never getsclose enough to the opposing play-ers to throw a check, and probablydoesn't know the english word for"corner". He does get off one ortwo good shots per game, usuallyonly on the power play. His mostconsistent talent is the one he has •for coughing up the puck in frontof his own goal. Liut and Neufeldget dishonorable mention for poorplay prior to the Minnesota game,but both were stars against theStars, leaving Risto alone in thevillain category.

with two more experienced jun-iors, Sarah Couch and Sara Mayo,returning second semester. Thesetwo experienced players should seea lot of game as well as startingtime. Rounding out the five upper-classmen on the varsity squad arejunior Eloise Nurse and sopho-more Maria OUari. These two play-ers, and six freshmen recruits, arevying for the two remaining start-ing positions as well as their shareof game time.

This year was a good recruitingyear in coach Erlandson's eyes, asa talented crop of freshmen lookto add to the strenghth of theteam. Maryanne O'Donnell, Patri-cia Taffuri, Jennifer Murphy, JulieSullivan, Leanne LeBrun, and Gail

Wehrli all show promising talentand will add greatly to the depthof the Lady Bants. Coach Erlan-don stated, "The key to a success-ful season lies in the depth of thisteam." A good team effort isneeded to create a team that cansustain momentum throughoutgames and throughout the season.

The women face a tough sched-ule with key matchups againstYale, WPI, Colby, and WesternConnecticut. Important games liealso with Clark and ConnecticutCollege, both of whom defeated theBants last year. The women's firstgame is on December 3rd againstMt. Holyoke, when they'll have achance to put their depth to thetest for the first time this year.

Depth Up Front For Hockey Teamby Mare Esterman

Sports Editor

. Last year, the Trinity hockeyteam came within two goals ofwinning the ECAC Division III ti-tle and despite the loss of thatteam's leading scorer, Mike Sload,and its best rushing defenseman,Barney Corning, the Bantams ap-pear ready to challenge for thechampionship again this season.Strength and speed up front andsolid goaltending look to be thekeys to this year's Bantam team,which may very well have moreoverall talent than last year's gutsy16-8 squad.

But talent alone won't win achampionship. All the right pieceshave to fall into place. Line com-binations have to mesh; injurieshave to be avoided; and playersmust get mentally prepared to ex-ecute every game over the courseof a long 24-game regular season.The Bants also have to eope withthe pleasant problem of being oneof the better teams in the league,a status which attracts extra ef-fort from the opposition.

"I doubt whether we'll be able toduplicate last year's record eventhough we're a better team," notedveteran head coach John Dunham."It's hard to compete with theother teams that don't have theSame academic, restrictions thatTrinity does. I'm not bemoaningthat fact, I'm pleased with the tal-ent we have here. We're defini telya playoff contender, but everyonewill be gunning for us this year."

The Bantams better get used tododging bullets because the rest ofthe league appears to be as strongas ever. The league has been real-ligned into two divisions, the South(which includes Trinity, Amherst,Williams, Wesleyan, Quinnipiac,Iona, etc.) and the North, with sixteams from each qualifying forpost-season play and the top twoteams drawing byes. AlthoughSoutheastern Massachussets haslost six of its better players tograduation, it is still a team to bereckoned with. Iona will be toughas well and a dark horse candidate,Conn College, may surprise a lotof New England hockey fans thiswinter. Plus, Trinity must contendwith several Division II teams onits schedule this year so thingswon't be easy. Still, there is plenty

. of room for optimism.The Bantams have a solid nu-

cleus of returning talent andshould be given a boost by somefreshmen skaters as well, makingfor a potentially potent and bal-anced offense. Although Dunhamadmits that all of the line combi-nations are up-in-the-air right now,two players stand out as the keysto the Bant attack.

Vernon Meyer, the senior Cap-tain, and Reed Whitmore, a seniorwho. returns from a year awayfrom Trinity, will be paired to-gether on the first line. Whitmore,a centerman, has speed and

strength and should easily replaceSload as the number one line cen-terman. Meyer, the go-get-'emsparkplug on the squad, tallied 14goals and 22 assists last year andgives the Bants a great cornermanand two-way player at right wing.

Senior Rich Stetson, who hasplayed hockey on and off duringhis stay at Trinity, is here for goodin '85-'86 and may emerge as thenumber one line left wing.

"We have so much depth and somany fine young players that wewill probably have to go with fourlines," explained Dunham. "We'restill searching for the playerswhose styles complement eachother's games."

Jay Williamson appears to be themost impressive of the freshmenthus far and will most likely centerthe second line. His wingers mayinclude sophomore Matt Keatorand senior Bill Slaney.

Last year Keator scored 11 goalsand notched 14 assists but admitsthat he didn't have the year thatwas expected of him. He could verywell bounce back and contribute tothe second line. Slaney was amainstay on the Frank Newark-Tom Sheehy-Slaney line of a yearago. That line was Trinity's mosteffective checking line. Newarkalso contributed six goals and 15assists for that line, while Sheehycame alive in the playoffs againstAmherst to score a first-period hattrick. But with Slaney possiblymoving Up to join Keator and Wil-liamson, who looks more comfort-able with wingers who are slowerthan he is, a replacement will haveto be found on the checking line.

The candidates for the remain-ing positions include returnees BobLoeber, Peter Worthing, DanWard, Brett Wolman, Dave Prov-ost, and Kevin Robinson.

Loeber, a sophomore, has blaz-ing speed, but failed to live up tohis potential last year (eight goalsand five assists). Still, he remainsa threat on offense. Worthing, ajunior, contributed seven goals andtwo assists last year. Ward, a jun-ior, added four goals and eight as-

- sists in limited play last season andstill must earn his ice time. Wol-man, a spunky sophomore, playedin only 16 games last year and sothe jury is still out on how muchhe'll contribute. Provost was ahighly touted freshman last yearwho never really got into the swingof things and suited up for only sixcontests. Robinson, a sophomore,is something of an enigma; he haslightening quickness but seems toplay in bursts. If he can get hisgame together and avoid mentalmistakes, he will help,the Bantamssignificantly.

"I'm so pleased with the play ofour seniors so far in practice," saidDunham. "Meyer sets the workethic for the rest of the team;Sheehy practices with such intes-ity; Stetson looks like he's playinglike he used to; and Slaney alwaysplays hard. The team seems to

have a good attitude."Freshmen Henry Manley, a cen-

ter, and Steven Palmer, a winger,will also push these vets for icetime up front.

"We're stronger up front thisyear, mainly because of the matu-rity of our sophomores and the ad-dition of Williamson. We haveplayers who can play more thanone position too, which gives usadded flexibility," noted Dunham.

Four juniors lead the Bantamdefense, which yielded less thanthree gaols per game last year. BillBlank, Mike Doyle, Andy Filler,and Mike Solomita are a steadygroup of backliners who take thebody fairly well but none of thempossess the rushing or scoring abil-ities of Corning, fhby will be joinedby Chris Lorenz, a senior, when hereturns from abroad in January.Sophomores Bob Farnham, MikeAnderson, and Bill Kenney willalso see plenty of ice time, as willfrosh Rob McCool.

And now we come to goaltend-ing. In training camp last year,Dunham made the decision to gowith Art Fitzgerald over incum-bent Vinnie Laurentino, who sub-sequently left the team. Fitzgeraldresponded by turning in a superbseason, posting a 2.98 goals-against average. Fitzgerald, a jun-ior, made 628 saves and was 14-6overall and 14-2 within DivisionIII. Fitzgerald, who was named anAll-ECAC first team all-star lastyear and the playoff tourney'sMVP, is recovering from a leg in-jury he sustained over the summerbut he should round into top form.His .914 save percentage and 2.98goals-against are both Trin seasonrecords.

The backup to Fitzgerald is sophDave Murray. Fellow sophomoreHutch Bobbins waits in the wings.

Trinity opens the season on No-vember 24th with a road gameagainst Colby at 1:00pm. Trinitywill be seeking to avenge a 2-1 lossto that Division II school. TheBants follow with two more roadgames, against Nichols and St. Mi-chael's, before they come home forWestfield State, another DivisionII foe that beat Trinity last season.December kicks into high gear withthe annual McCabe Tournament,which will be held at Trinity thisseason. Conn College will meetWesleyan. and Trin will take onAmherst in the elimination open-ers. In January, the Bants will par-ticipate in the CrusaderTournament as well which will be ,held at Holy Cross.

Of course, the tournament thatholds the most interest for theBantams is the season-endingECAC playoff tournament. And ifall things go as planned, the Ban-tams could certainly find them-selves right in the middle of thefight once more.

PORTSFootball Team Had AJekyll And Hyde Season

by Gabe HarrisSenior Staff Writer

Talk about your Jekyll and Hydeacts. The 1985 Trinity Bantamsbordered upon the schizophrenic,as they raced out of the blocks toa 4-0 start, only to lose three oftheir last four and stagger hometo a 5-3 record. The Jekyll was ajoy to watch, games filled with ex-citing plays and comeback victo-ries. But then came the ugly Mr.Hyde, when injuries and turnoversplagued the Bantams in losses toHamilton, NESCAC champs Am-herst, and homecoming opponent,Wesleyan.

Although the players andcoaches had hoped for a better re-cord, 5-3 is not bad for a teamwhich was outdone in all of thefollowing categories: scoring, firstdowns, total yardage, completionpercentage, sacks, and intercep-tions. In fact, the Bantams wereonly four or five big plays awayfrom being 1-7, the only convinc-ing win coming on opening dayagainst Bowdoin. <

The average margin of victory inthe five wins was only six points,while they were outscored in theirtheir.losses by 68 points. In thefirst four games, Trinity outscoredopponents 100-77. In the secondhalf of the season, Trin was out-scored 133-72.

But numbers can tell only partof the story. The Bantams learnedall too graphically what a violentsport football'can be. Of the defen-sive front seven, only one made itthrough the season injury-free.Todd Fairfax and Randy Vyskocil

were lost for the year with kneeinjuries before one play was evenrun. Andre John terrorized oppo-nents for three games, but had hisseason ended in the first quarteragainst Tufts, another serious kneeinjury. The next week Tony Dini-cola was lost for the year. MarkMurray had to literally limp

• through the last few weeks o£ theseason, and Fran Funaro post-poned shoulder surgery so he couldplay his final season. Add to thatoffensive tackle Mike Reilly's kneeinjury and the departure of full-back Steve Okun and it's not apretty picture. This is not to saythat their replacements were inef-ficient. All of them played well.Without players like Bill Cun-ningham, John Montgomery, ToddNizolek, Wally Wrobel, Dave Ca-puto, Scott Semanehik, Joe Ca-taldo and Scott Butera, this teameasily could have been 1-7. But theeffect of losing so many starters insuch a short time was too much to

• overcome, as larger teams likeHamilton and Amherst over-powered the Bants toward the endof the season.

The secondary was strong, asexpected. Mike Dolan, Greg Richo,Kevin Smith, and Mike Delucia allplayed well, and return next year.But as the members of the offen-sive line went down, opposingteams had more time and freedomto pick them apart.

The offense, for its part, did aswell as anybody expected. But itsplay was erratic and turnovers inTrin's half of the field played largeroles in, the Bants' losses.

In the first: half of the season,the 0 gave fans plenty of thrills.

Ted Shannon was one of many Bantam heros.

Nobody who was there will forgetTed Shannon's winning touch-down grab on fourth down in thefourth quarter at Bates. And WallyWrobel's game winner againstTufts with under a minute left toplay was just as memorable. Andthere was Mike Doetsch's 53-yardpunt return for a touchdownagainst Bowdoin, which gave hima school record for punt returnyards in a game, and broke it openfor the Bants. But that first half-of-the-season magic was lost aftera demoralizing drubbing at thehands of Hamliton.

Junior quarterback Dan Tigherolled up some remarkable stats inhis first year as starter. He com-pleted 149 passes out of a schoolrecord 278 attempts for 1,781yards and 17 TD's.

Coach Don Miller was certainly

, pleased that Tighe did so well, be-cause his passing counteracted anoften lackluster rushing attack (85yds./game). Okun started the yearat fullback and carried the ball wellon the rare occasions he did getthe ball. He became disgruntledand left the team. His replace-ment, Wrobel, ended up leadingthe team in rushing with 310 yards.Sophomore John Calcaterrashowed flashes of brilliance, butwith Tighe setting a record forpassing attempts, there just wer-en't a whole lot of carries to goaround.

Tighe shouldn't get all the creditfor the continued success of theTrinity passing game. He had a su-perb set of targets to hit. Fleetsenior Doetsch was the prime con-cern for opposing "defenses', anddespite double coverage on practi-

Women's Cross Country Team, Led BySteinert, Finishes 9th in New Englands

by Gail WehrliStaff Writer

: Saturday morning at 6:30 am,seven brave Trinity women gath-ered at Mather to go to Southeast-ern Massachusetts University forthe NCAA Division III Champion-ships. The running conditions weredifficult, as all the women wereforced to race in tights for the firsttime this season. The course wasflat and wet. Two parts of thecourse consisted of jumping overand running through swamplands.Captain Ann Malabre lost her shoein the second of the two swamp-lands and ran the final one and ahalf miles with only one shoe.

By 11:00am, the 33 teams werelined up at the starting line andone team stood out from all therest. Trinity, wearing pink, aqua,royal blue, and navy tights withblue and gold striped shorts overthem, and aqua, green and whiteshirts under the gold singlets, Trincertainly stuck out from the other32 teams with those outfits. Cap-'tain Alex Steinert even wore asanta hat.

But underneath all the runninggear, they were tense and knew itwould be a serious, tough race.Senior Steinert pushed ahead for

Trinity and finished 20th overall,setting a new personal record. Notfar behind Steinert was Malabrewho, despite the loss of her shoe,finished strong, placing 29th over-all. Following the two captainswere Gail Wehrli, Wendy Pills-bury, Meredith Lynch, ShmooKinz, and Jen Elwell, all finishingstrongly. It was an excellent racefor the team as they placed ninthoverall. They placed fourthamongst NESCAC schools, a greatimprovement from seventh at theNESCAC meet. The Lady Bants'improved showing was due to thefact that the co-Captains beat outall of the women from Conn Col-lege, Williams, and Coast Guard.

It was a great way to end a win-ning season and seniors Malabre,Steinert, Wendy Pillsbury, andAileen Doherty will be greatlymissed from next year's team. Butthey should take some fun memo-ries with them. For example, onthe trip back to Trinity, the vanpulled over and the team took somesouvenir photos of each otheragainst a backdrop of new fallensnow. Once everyone was back onboard, the ride continued but notfor long as several bathroom stopswere made, including one in a for-est. Finally, after a four-hour trip,the team arrived back at Trinity.

The Trinity College women'sbasketball team, under the guid-ance of coach Karen Erlandson, islooking to improve upon their 6-10record of last year. Key to thisyear's success will be the perform-

ance of the three returning varsityletterwomen, senior captain SisVan Cleve and juniors Betsy Jonesand Susan Babcock. These threeare the core of a very young teamthat needs to be molded into ex-perienced players.

The team consists of 11 players,
