Letter to the Editor

The London Scene

At the moment I am clad in a bright green smock, waiting in a dingy room for the power to come on so I can have my hair cut. If I look around the room at the ladies in fur coats waiting to have their gray hair taken away, or the patient regulars who have come in for their weekly manicure, I find it hard to believe that I am in the middle of a country that is in serious economic and political trouble. This is not because the people here are not aware of the situation. There is no way they could not be aware of it. But the general attitude seems to be to accept the inconveniences resulting from the strikes, and to continue to live as normally as possible.

I have also been trying to lead a normal life, in spite of the fact that I no longer have many of the little luxuries I was used to having in America. I wake up in the morning in my bed-sitting room, which is a one-room apartment with a bed and simple cooking facilities.

The first thing to be done is to brave the cold, and get to the heater on the other side of the room. Although the room is small, the heater is inadequate since it more closely resembles an electric hair dryer than a heater. Furthermore, I have to pay for every bit of electricity I use by putting coins into a meter box. The equivalent of fifteen cents gives me a running refrigerator, lights, breakfast, and about twenty minutes of heat. This runs into quite a bit of money when I am in the room working all day, so I try to use the heater as little as possible. As a result, when I do work in the room, I am wearing three layers of clothing and am wrapped in a sleeping bag. Fortunately, I do not have to wear gloves when I type. When my hands get too cold to type, I simply sit on them until they thaw out.

Besides the heat, lights are a problem. The room I live in has one dirty window and an overhead light. I tried supplementing the lights with a few candles, but that didn't help either. Finally I decided to spend as much time as possible working at the Reynolds Hotel, in the rooms of Trinity students who are on the Tufts in London Program. This solved the heat problem since the hotel has central heating, but it is on emergency lighting. There is no light at all on the stairs, which took some getting used to, and only forty watt light bulbs are allowed in the rooms. It makes one feel that time stopped just before the sun came up.

But actually the problems of light and heat are just inconveniences that take getting used to. It is the same with the way strikes have affected my daily life outside of fulfilling my obligations to my open semester. Any food store, restaurant, or fruitiers is theoretically outside the realms of emergency actions, but they don't remain untouched. The price of bread has gone up twice since I've been here, and the price of lettuce went up five pence, or about thirteen cents, in four days. Other businesses and shops are on the same emergency system as this hair salon. They generally remain open for a five-day workweek, but they can only have heat and lighting for half the day. For two weeks they have power only from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., and then the next two weeks, they have power only from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30p.m. If someone is caught using power when they are not supposed to, they can be sent to jail. More than once I have been standing in a shop, and suddenly everything has gone dark. Frantic salesgirls appear from every corner carrying the kerosene lanterns that · have become a standard possession in every store, and everyone dons coats and

sweaters. Five minutes later, everyone is back doing what they had been doing before, only in a somewhat gloomier atmosphere.

So far, the situation here hasn't been as bad as the American newspapers would like to believe. Everyone is affected by what is going on, but not that many people are suffering from it. However, it looks like more people will be out of jobs in the near future, that the pound will continue to decrease in value, and that domestic power cuts will soon become a reality. Furthermore, the weather seems to have joined in the general decline of the country, and the abundant rainfall is causing floods in many towns outside London. And it looks like there may be a train strike, although they have managed to avoid it so far. But I get the feeling that no matter what happens, the British people will continue to be able to handle it in a sane, practical fashion, and remain as friendly as they have been since I arrived.

Women's Organization Puts Accent on the Arts

By Sue Weisselberg '76

The TWO (Trinity Women's Organization), one of the most active groups on campus, has conducted a highly successful "Feminist Arts Week."

A stimulating week of lectures, theatre performances, poetry, dance, music, and films, planned and sponsored by the TWO, was held in February. Celebrating the centennial of Gertrude Stein's birthday, the week's events drew sizeable and in most cases capacity audiences.

Highlights of the week included a talk on "Women in the Arts" by controversial Village Voice columnist Jill Johnston, Nancy Cole's one-woman show on Gertrude Stein and a ragtime piano concert by husky-voiced Diana Markovitz.

A dramatic reading of Sylvia Plath's "Three Women" led off tlie week on Sunday, February 3. Directed by sophomore Carol Livingston and featuring sophomores Beth Page and Judy Del Guidice and freshman Cheryl Kassow, the "poem for three voices" proved to be a provocatively striking work.

On Monday, February 4, Rena Patterson spoke on "Mother-Daughter Myths and Images: Identity and Death in Sylvia Plath," concentrating on Ms. Plath's "Three Women". Her afternoon talk was followed that evening by "Women in the Arts," an informal lecture by Jill Johnston. Called the "foremost feminist in the United States," Ms. Johnston drew about 600 people.

Jodi Braxton, contributing editor to the magazine "Black Creation," read poetry on Tuesday, February 5, and "Women: Their Role in the Arts" was the subject of a lecture and slide show by Judith Rohrer, art historian and instructor of fine arts at Trinity, on February 6. She pointed out that life has improved for women artists, but that they are still too often ignored or misunderstood; however, young women artists today "are rejoicing in the fact that we're no longer ashamed to be women." An exhibition of women artists' work was featured in the Austin Arts Center during the week.

"Gertrude Stein's Gertrude Stein" was performed by Nancy Cole on Thursday, February 7. Presented in Europe, Canada, Central America, Australia and the United States, the one-woman show was devised by Ms. Cole from the works and letters of Gertrude Stein.

The students and faculty of the dance department conducted a dance concert on Friday, February 8, and on Saturday, February 9, twenty-three , year old Diana Markovitz enraptured an audience of about 200 with her inimitable thumping piano style and humorous lyrics.

According to a member of TWO, "The time consumed in planning and organization was well-spent; women at Trinity are alive and well and deeply involved in feminism and the arts."

IDP Completes 1st Year;...._.......___ 20 Students Enrolled

The IDP - Trinity's Individualized Degree Program - will be a year old in early April, and so far 20 students are enrolled in the self-paced bachelor's degree program.

Of the 20, three are resident undergraduates who transferred from the regular bachelor's program into the IDP, and the remainder are non-resident adults who are studying under the IDP while holding down full-time jobs and running households.

According to Dr. Frank G. Kirkpatrick, director of the IDP, there are currently more than 80 active applicants for the program. Also, in the past 10 months five persons have been admitted on provisional admission, 18 applicants have been rejected, and three people who had been accepted in the program have withqrawn.

The first 14 non-resident students were matriculated April 7, 1973, marking the start of the program which had been in planning for more than a year prior. The IDP is designed as an alternate route to the regular Trinity B.A. It eliminates the 36 course requirement in favor of completion of a number of "study units" designed by the faculty. Students work at their own pace, and may complete the program in as few as three years, or as many as 10. It was designed for the working adult as well as the highly-motivated undergraduate student.

According to Kirkpatrick, non-resident students in the program range in age from 21 to 58, and thirteen of them had done some college work before entering the IDP. Ten of them entered the program as second semester sophomores or higher. There are more women than men, and occupations range from housewife to secretary, construction worker to newspaper reporter.

There are now 15 5 study units and

outlines which have been devised by faculty members. Since the start of the program, 57 different units have been selected, and nine of these were devised by students in consultation with faculty. Of the 57, fourteen were taken by two or more students.

At this point, 15 different study units have been completed by nine students. Grades received included one A; two A minuses; one B plus; six B's; three B minuses, and two C minuses.

In addition, one college course was completed for double credit with the grade of A, and four more college courses will be completed during this term.

'A Fascinating Experience'

Journey to the Land of the Soviets By Samuel Hendel

The Soviet Union, commented a noted statesman, "is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." Although in my opinion the comment is greatly exaggerated - we really do have a good deal of dependable information and knowledge about the U.S.S.R. - there is some truth in it. That element of truth was brought home to me on a recent trip my wife and I took to the U.S.S.R. No doubt about it: a visit to the Soviet Union even for someone who has devoted nearly a professional lifetime to its study is still in some respects a frustrating and baffling, as well as fascinating and revealing, experience.

Samuel Hendel

We spent the greater part of September 19/3 in the U.S.S.R. which I had earlier visited in 1957, 1960 and 1966. In the course of these journeys, I traveled to many Soviet cities; on one occasion driving a Simca unescorted 1600 miles through Soviet towns and its countryside. But what was unique about my 1973 trip was that, for the first time, I also visited several cities in Uzbekistan, Georgia and Armenia. During these trips I had some formal meetings with Soviet officials but also talked with many Soviet people including professors, · school teachers, doctors, engineers, students, peasants and workers; and even managed to visit a surprisingly large number of Soviet citizens in their homes.

What did my study and these experiences reveal? For one thing, they showed that Engels (Marx's closest collaborator) was essentially right when he wrote, "People who imagined they had made a revolution always saw the next day that the revolution they had made was nothing like the one they had wanted

to make." Marx and Engels had anticipated that a socialist revolution would not only usher in a new economic system, in which the means of production would be owned in common and its fruits would be widely distributed or utilized for the benefit of man rather than serve to enhance private profit, but also that the new political system would lead to an immense expansion of democracy for the vast majority of the people.

What is the reality? In the realm of the intellectual freedoms, i.e., speech, press, assembly and religion, it is clear that, despite some liberalization since the death of Stalin in 1953 which has significantly widened the scope of permissible controversy, the dictatorship of the Communist party remains an overriding, omnipresent and dominating force. It is a dictatorship that controls or attempts to control all the media of education and information, school curricula, the press, radio, television and literature. In literature, which is particularly sensitive, as Solzhenitsyn pointed out, not one word can be legally published without approval of the censor.

I raised the issue of freedom of expression at two meetings with Soviet officials last September. The initial response was that, unlike practices in the West, the U.S.S.R. does not permit publication of Hitler's Mein Kampf or pornographic literature. When I persisted and asked why it did not allow expression of points of view not in opposition to the regime itself but differing with official policy, I was infofmed that- i-n the U.S.S.R. falsehoods are not publishable. What this means, of course, as a practical matter is that "truth" and "falsity" are determined by the Communist party or, more precisely, by its small core of top leaders. Add to this that under Soviet law it is still a crime to carry on "agitation or propaganda" with the object of undermining or weakening state power, or even to possess materials of such defamatory nature, and it is easy to understand why so many of the relatively few courageous "dissidents" have found themselves in prison.

Other dissidents, like Valery N. Chalidze, have been deprived of their citizenship while on trips abroad. And, now the most renowned critic of Soviet censorship and repression, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, has been deported from the U.S.S.R. This gives special poignancy to Yevgeny Yevtushenko's comment that in the Soviet Union, "The truth is replaced by silence, and silence is a lie."

Soviet media coverage of the Watergate crimes and cover-up provides an interesting example of the pervasiveness of central and rigid control. In the light of past experience one would have expected the Soviet media to revel in the gory details. Not at all. Out of concern for detente and what it augurs, the U.S.S.R. at first ignored or played down Watergate and then for a time limited coverage to White House statements so that the charges could only be gleaned by indirection from the responses. The real explanation of Watergate, the Soviet media suggested, derived from the fear in some Amertcan circles that "the President, in his steps toward the relaxation of tension ... could go too far." In short, in the Soviet version, Watergate is largely an attempt by reactionary forces · in the United States to blunt the President's detente initiative. · Understandably, the apparatus in the U.S.S.R. to curb and control dissent creates considerable fear - although people no longer simply disappear without trial as in Stalin's day. It is surprising, therefore, to find people (considering the risks still involved) at times amazingly frank and critical about Soviet policies and practices. But these are fairly exceptional; most Soviet citizens are understandably wary. In talking with a graduate student in a chance meeting, for example, I soon discovered that he had fairly accurate knowledge of Soviet history which conflicted with the official distorted version. When I asked him whether he or others challenged their teachers when statements they believed to be false were made, he said that with rare exceptions the answer wa::; no. Why? I asked -although I fully understood the dilemma . His answer was slow and dramatic : "We do not contradict our teachers," he said, "because our mothers teach us to be afraid, our fathers teach us to be afraid, and above all, the history of Russia teaches us to be afraid."

It would be a mistake to believe, however, that this fear implies that many Soviet people are anti-Soviet in any thoroughgoing sense ; not many would trade their system for ours - what most people want is an end to the heavy sacrifices that have been imposed upon them in the interests of industrialization and militarization; "more and better goods in the shops" is a constant appeal. As for the intellectuals I met in the U.S.S.R. they, too, were not in basic opposition to the system. What they echoed were the words of the Soviet

poet, Boris Slutsky, "Time to bring the dreams to pass. Yes, with neither doubt nor hesitation - To get to work and bring the dreams to pass." In particular, they could not understand why the monolithic unity thought necessary when the U.S.S.R. was weak and surrounded by hostile capitalist nations should be sought to be imposed now that the U.S.S.R. is so powerful and protected by the stalemate of nuclear terror.

The Jews are a special case. While the overwhelming majority is not, in my opinion, actively disaffected and is contented with the career opportunities available to them, a substantial minority resents the fact that the U.S.S.R. -departing from its own professed principles - has subjected the Jewish people to special forms of discrimination; in opportunities for cultural development, in the practice of religion, in admission to certain educational institutions and faculties, and in certain fields and levels of employment and public life. This statement is easily documented and it is noteworthy that many loyal Soviet Jews - even some very good Communist party members - attest to its truth.

What about the tourist? How does he fare in the land of the Soviets? An old Gutde to Russia written in 1875 advised the traveller that "Dinner should if possible be ordered a day beforehand." With pungent wit, Art Buchwald explained that the Russian waiter has not solved the reentry problem. Solitary tourists often find themselves spending hours waiting for ill-prepared meals selected from a limited menu served by surly waiters. Those who are part of an organized tour group seldom have long to wait but the food is generally even less appetizing and the service little or no better. Unless one goes to a very posh hotel and sometimes even there, one is often put up in a room that has not been properly cleaned, without heat in cold weather, without soap, with tattered towels and in a building with inadequate, erratic or temperamental elevators. As for travel by Aeroflot within the Soviet Union, its record of safety and for meeting schedules is very good but its food is generally very bad and its toilet facilities an abomination.

The truly sad aspect of all this, however, is not the discomfort of the tourist - which is of temporary duration -but that it is symptomatic of the chronic difficulties in the personal service sector that so directly and pervasively affect the

Trinity Begins Experiment

Using Dartmouth Computer Five computer terminals have been

installed in Hallden Engineering Laboratory which give Trinity students and faculty direct, 24-hour access to the large computer facility located at Dartmouth College.

The five terminals - four teletypes and a high-speed printer - will be used on an experimental basis this spring to test whether the College should consider permanent use of a remote computer tie-in. The Dartmouth computer will in effect be competing with Trinity's present system, a small PDP-8 computer with 12 teletype connections.

Data on the use and costs of the Dartmouth system will be evaluated after the end of the current semester in mid-May.

Both computer systems are "time-sharing," that is, they are each capable of responding to several different operators simultaneously.

Soviet people. The service trades are underpaid and understaffed while at the same time typically there is a three-queue system, first to select and determine the price of goods, then to pay and get a receipt for them, and finally to pick up the purchases. Common necessities are often in short supply. Other products like fruit or vegetables, even during the season, may be hard to come by. In a tea-drinking country, in all the areas we visited during September 1973, with one exception, lemons were unavailable. But all of this is a source of repeated complaint in the Soviet press itself There is, for example, an item dealing with a " typical " rural store in Kryukovka in Tambov province that, according to the report, is supposed to sell everyday goods but which "closes down periodically when it has 'scarce' items to sell - this time it was herring. Until 'scarce' items are completely sold out, one cannot buy bread, cigarettes or sugar." The assortment, the story pointed out, "was so unpredictable. 'Today one item is in, but another one's out.' "In general, "The store did not have two-thirds of the 'Minimum Assortment.' "

This is, however, only a part of the story. There is another important part. At a time when many Western nations are facing a chill winter with the prospect of little or no economic growth, mounting unemployment, and decreasing real income, the U.S.S.R. continues to make steady upward economic progress. While some of the difference is attributable to

chairman of the engineering department, the present computer system offers only "modest" time-sharing capabilities, "and it is anticipated that this system will have to be replaced or supplemented within a year or two to serve adequately the increasing demand for computing in instruction."

One of the attractive features of the Dartmouth facility, he said, is that it already contains a large library of programs suitable for instructional use. Students and faculty will be encouraged to experiment with these programs, and to make use of the increased computing power of the Dartmouth system.

Trinity has been using its PDP-8 system since 1966, and the system has been gradually expanded over the years. Last fall, more than 90 students enrolled in an introductory computer for non-science majors, and it is estimated that more than 250 students were using the system last fall.

the oil shortage, the fact is that, in general, particularly since the death of Stalin in 1953, the Soviet Union has shown a persistent and systematic although uneven over-all economic growth, that its population has been fully employed, and that there has been a slow but marked improvement in the working conditions, real income and purchasing power for the masses of the Soviet people. It is true, too, that in relation to income, the U.S.S.R. spends more on health, education, care of young children, and social welfare generally than highly industrialized Western countries do; and that these benefits are available on a highly egalitarian basis to the Soviet people. There are many more, and more widely dispersed, doctors and hospital beds in proportion to population in the U.S.S.R. than in the United States and, correspondingly, higher life expectancy and lower infant mortality in the U.S.S.R. than in the U.S.A. During the last 12 years, more than half the Soviet population - after decades of neglect -has moved into new housing. While these houses often appear to be jerry-built {the U.S.S .R. has seemingly mastered the art of erecting old buildings), unlike the packed monstrosities that deface many of our cities, they are almost invariably placed in open areas with provision for trees, playgrounds and parks.

A final word: if you are only mildly intrigued by the U.S.S.R. and care about comfort and convenience, my advice is to stay away; at least until there is substantial improvement in tourist facilities and catering. If, on the other hand, you have a great interest in architecture, art and music, a visit to the Soviet Union - to the incomparable Hermitage, opera and ballet, to the magnificent old churches like St. Basil's, to the tomb of Tamerlane - is ample compensation for the discomfort. And, similarly , if you are persuaded, as I am, that an understanding of the Bolshevik revolution and what it has wrought, both positively and negatively, is of immense interest and importance to the world then you must surely go and see as much as you can for yourself.

On August 1, 1973, JOHN CLARK FITZGERALD, retired from the Connecticut Judiciary after having served a span of 32 years on the bench. It was in 1941 that John was appointed to the Court of Common Pleas at the age of 35. He continued a judge in that court until elevated to the Superior Court in 1957. In electing retirement, John did so two years before the mandatory retirement age of 70 years for Connecticut judges. In 1972 Governor Meskill, Trinity '50, was desirous of elevating Jolm to the Supreme Court; the proposed appointment was declined on the ground that he preferred to remain in the Superior Court where he then occupied the status of Chief Judge, a position he continued to hold until his retirement. By appointment of Chief Justice Charles S. House, he now acts in the capacity of a State Trial Referee, along with certain other retired judges, to assist the Superior Court in certain types of cases as the occasion requires. In referring to Trinity College over the years, John has often been heard to remark that "it was at Trinity that he spent the golden days of his golden youth."

SETH HOLCOMBE has made a contribution to the field of Americana: He reports that "Your subscriber happily announces the printing of the book 'My Grandmother Nancy' containing letters written 1822-1842 by his great-great-grandmother to her son. Born in West Granby in 1784, and with a rural education commensurate with the times, the author displays a sagacity of values still valid."

With a sagacity worthy of his ancestress Seth has apparently retained all distribution and other rights in his own hands, since he announces that the book is available (for $6.50, plus Connecticut Sales Tax of 42¢) only from Seth P. Holcombe, 57 East Weatogue Street, Simsbury, Connecticut, 06070. Trinity is evidently a Holcombe tradition, since the son who was the recipient of the letters was the father of James W.

Trinity awarded him an honorary Masters degree in 194 7, and six years later the Eigenbrodt Cup, the College's highest. honor to an alumnus for significant service.

Fred will be remem"ered by hundreds of alumni not only in the New York area but throughout the country _for his friendly smile and his ready handshake. He rarely forgot a first name; he rarely missed a reunion, a New

-Y:or.k Association - alumni- dinner, or Spring-< Frolic; and he always was thinking of better ways to make his College stronger.

Contributions in Fred's memory may be sent to the College.

Bants Win Hoop Tourney, Pick Up 6 More Victories

The varsity basketball team was 4-2 before Christmas vacation. The hoopsters returned, bowing to U Maine 97-79 and then capturing the Connecticut Yankee Invitational Tournament at the University of New Haven. Since then they have picked up wins over Middlebury 73-63, Coast Guard 70-64, Kings Point 85-69, Colby 67-61, Wesleyan 74-69 and Hamilton 99-85 and dropping decisions to Williams 90-73 and Union 77-66.

Othar Burks paced Trin over Middlebury with 30 points. Wayne Sokolosky added 15 and Nat Williams 10. Bill Fenkel pulled down 15 rebounds as the Banis dominated in that category 53-31.

Against Coast Guard, Burks again led with 18 points. Nat Williams had 15. For his efforts that week, Burks was named to the ECAC First Team.

Against Kings Point, Coach Shults played all 15 of his squad, all of whom scored. Sokolosky tallied 15 as Trin's balanced attack dominated the Merchant Marine Cadets 85-69.

The Bantams then travelled to Williams where they lost 90-73, ending their winning streak at six. Cold shooting hurt the Bantams as the Ephmen dominated the boards 64-30.

In a loose, fast-moving game, Trinity edged Colby 67-61. In the first half the lead changed hands 15 times. Burks and reserve guard Glenn Woods each had 16 points and Nat Williams 14. Williams concentrated on defense and limited

Steve Colella of Colby to 14 points. Last year, Colella had 35 points against the Bants.

Trinity met arch rival Wesleyan in Middletown for the first of an annual home and away series, toppling the Cardinals 74-69. On the shooting of Burks, Sokolosky and Nat Williams, Trinity forged a lead of as much as 16 points with four minutes left before the break. They closed the half up 45-35.

In the second half, two Cardinals, Skip Adamek and Dick Fairbrother who finished with 26 and 21 points respectively, cut the Bantams' lead to 69-68 with 1:29 remaining. A Burks lay-up with 28 seconds left clinched the win.

On the road at Hamilton, Burks scored 29 points, including 11 free throws, Sokolosky 24, Bo Picl<arg_ 19 and Nat Williams 18 as the Bants beat Hamilton 99-85.

The next night of a two-game weekend trip, Trinity fell to a strong Union team 77-66. At the half the Dutchmen led 36-32 in a near even contest. Sokolosky had 15 points, Nat Williams 12 and Fenkel 11, but poor shooting by Trin from the floor, 30 of 71, hurt while the Dutchmen made 31 of 58. The real edge came at the foul line where the Bants had 6 of 7 but the hosts 15 of 18.

The Bantams have six contests remaining to close one of the best seasons of basketball on the Hill in recent years.
