One-Semester ExperimentStudents, Reporter To Attend Faculty Meetings

by Susannah HeschelThe Faculty voted Tuesday to allow a

TRIPOD reporter and all student membersof Faculty committees to attend Facultymeetings on a non-voting basis for onesemester.

There was little opposition to the motionwhich was passed by voice vote, accordingto H. McKim Steel, Faculty secretary. Steelsaid that the motion concerning studentcommittee members was passed "virtuallyunanimously". Opposition to the TRIPODreporter "principally revolved around thequestion of accurate quotation of the news,"according to Steel.

The motion concerning a TRIPODreporter was sent to the Faculty Conferenceby the newspaper. The motion was not puton the agenda until the October meeting.Due to a large amount of business, themotion dii i not come up for discussion untilthe November meeting. At that meeting, theFaculty sent the motion back to the Faculty

TCCAsks9AdjudicationOn Felonies

by Steven PearlsteinThe College's relationship to students

convicted of felonies should be dealt with bythe Adjudicative System, according to arecommendation from the College Council.

The recommendation would have theAdjudicative System judge any alleged actswhich "impair the student's ability tocontinue his own academic commitmenteffectively or his ability to conduct himself"as a responsible citizen in the Collegecommunity." The recommendation would

- apply to any student, regardless of whetherhe was found guilty of felony by civil courts.

The recommendation was presented to theCouncil Wednesday by its committee on the

• Adjudicative System. The motion has beenreturned to that committee to determinewhere exactly the adopted clauses fit intothe Adjudicative document.

Essentially, the new policy would have thecollege take action against felons only whena member of the community chargesanother member with acts harmful tohimself or the community, and when the

In order to protect itself frommisquotation the Faculty will make a tape-recording of all meetings from now on. Steelsaid.

George C. Higgins, College counselor andchairman of the College Affairs Committee,supported the motion for a reporter. He saidin an interview Wednesday night, "It isbetter to have someone there taking his ownnotes than to have him piece together astory from lots of different sources and callpeople on the phone at night."

RichaRichard T. Lee, professor of philosophy,

said "The rumor mill has always been bad. Ihope this will make quotations more ac-curate." Lee said "attending facultymeetings should be encouraging to studentson committees." Curtis M. Langhorne,

professor of psychology and chairman of theAcademic Affairs Committee which hasthree student members, said "It is veryimportant for the faculty to learn whatstudents are thinking. I've been fighting forthis for years."

Peter Crawford, "72, former AcademicAffairs Committee member, said "I thinkit's ridiculous it didn't happen a long timeago. All- students should be allowed inFaculty meetings." Steel said he supportedthe motions because "It's good particularlyfor students on committees because theyhave worked hard to shape motions andshould be at the Faculty meetings to seewhat happens to the motions."

Objections to allowing students into themeetings originally came from memberswho said they would be inhibited in theirdiscussions if their remarks became publicinformation.

Traditional Group Interests Lose Favor;Students Turn to Individual Endeavors

(Editor's note: This is the third of a seriesof articles on student interests and studentorganizations.)

Students are into other things these days.They appear to be spending more and

more time on individual projects and inactivities which allow them to see an im-mediate result of their effort, instead of.joining traditional campus groups.

Faculty members have reported agrowing interest among their students intutorials and open semester projects. Manyof these projects concern community andsocial problems.

The number of students involved in anOpen Semester has increased more thanfour times since its beginning in 1969 andinterest in the program continues to bestrong, according to N. Robbins Winslow,dean for educational services.

President Theodore Lockwood has saidthis could be representative of a generaltrend "inward" by the student. This trendmay mean the College will have to focusmore heavily on the curriculum which willbe under greater pressure to respond tostudents," according to Lockwood.

Lockwood has also hypothesized that thisapparent trend toward individualism is

by John Mattusconcurrently a trend toward action ratherthan passivity. The individual can becreative and see the results of his efforts insuch growing activities on campus asphotography and dance, Lockwood noted.

There is a danger in having studentswhose energy is now being directed tocurriculum - related projects scatteredaway from campus, according to George C.Higgins, college counselor.

Higgins fears that moving a group ofstudents to an off-campus site to achieve amore comprehensive education of a certain,topic might drain the College of its breadthof activities.

Higgins also said the College may have tohelp some students "find a project" forhimself An in-depth project would replacethe structure offered by the fading campusorganizations necessary to some students,according to Higgins. "The solution to theyouth crisis is now within the curriculum,he said. . ,

Students are moving away from, largegroup organizations and there is increasingevidence that students may be replacing thegroup structure with an informal group of 6to 10 fellow students.

These smaller groups, which can benoticed throughout the campus, are

generally composed of students enjoyingsimilar life styles. But there appears to besome feelings of individualism even in theserelatively intimate groups.

"The ways in which people had gottentogether in the past had become rigid,"according to Alan Tull, college chaplain.Tull referred to the "failure of institutionalgroupings-to move forward" as one of themain factors in their decline. He citedfraternities as an example.

Students may be moving toward in-dividualism or an individualism within agroup of 6 to 10 others, but there are severalnew and healthy group organizations oncampus.

The most impressive group to arise hasbeen Cinestudio. The student-run movietheater on campus was established lastspring with an $11,000 debt and in less than ayear has reduced it to $4,000.

Cinestudio began with a handful ofstudents and now report over 50 workers.The most hardworking and dedicatedstudents at Cinestudio are those who haveresponsibility and can see that their work issignificant to the functioning of the theater,according to James Hanley, '72, headprojectionist.

at meetings, "may well serve to bring outthe ham in the Faculty".

Several Faculty said that students wouldfind the meetings uninteresting, Langhornesaid, "I have a hunch that after one or twomeetings they will be disillusioned." Ac-cording to Lee, "At first students will findthe meetings great, but, like pornography,it'll wear off."

Robert B. Oxnam, associate professor ofhistory, said the motions were "un the wholeprobably a good idea. It helps make manystudents realize that this isn't any clan-destine court of the Red Chamber."

A "stated faculty meeting" is that whichtakes place on schedule. Students will beadmitted to other Faculty meetings only if amotion is presented to the Faculty at that

. time.Faculty meetings are held the second

Tuesday of every month from 4:00 to 5:30p.m. in McCook Auditorium.

Cassidy CitesFailures ofAdvisor Plan

by William Miller.The Residential Coordinator system,

established by the Office of Community Lifelast fall to replace the Junior Advisorsystem, has proved unsatisfactory tostudents, administrators, and the Coor-dinators themselves. A new system will bedevised for next fall.

There are four Residential Coordinatorsworking with 400 students each in four areasof the campus: North Campus, the Quad,Eltonand Jones, and South Campus. Ac-cording to Marc S. Salisch, dean for Com-munity Life, the Coordinator system wasestablished to facilitate communicationbetween his office and the student body, andalso among the students themselves.

John H. Cassidy, assistant dean ofCommunity Life for residence, said that theCoordinator system "has been a failure."

Salisch said that he had hoped that theResidential Coordinators would be "sen-sitive to students and their problems in anentirely non-clinical, non-professionalway." Unfortunately, he added, studentshave mainly used them to communicatetheir problems to Building and Grounds.

The Residential Coordinators replaced theJunior Advisors who were each responsiblefor a floor of a dorm. Salisch said the J.A.system didn't work. "There was no cleardefinition of what they should do. BothSalisch and Cassidy said there was notenough effort shown by the administrationin establishing the J.A. system.

The J.A. was mainly responsible forfreshman. They were chosen by a com-mittee of faculty, administration, andstudents. They received free room and $50per semester as payment.

Cassidy said the Residential Coordinatorsystem would definitely be modified for nextyear. He said he hopes that undergraduateswill be included in the new program. Allplans, he said, are contingent on receivingapproval of the Trustee^.

Cassidy said that it is a definite respon-sibility of the College to have staff in thedorms. "The College must commit itself tothe human needs of the students. Theydeserve better."

: Any new residential advisory programwould include undergraduate advisors, saidCassidy. The selection for the un-dergraduate advisors, he said, would bevery stringent.

The Coordinators themselves questionedtheir effectiveness. All said that there weretoo few Coordinators.

Katy McGrath, Coordinator for the NorthCampus- High Rise area, said she felt shehad served some purpose. "My apartment isa meeting place," she said, "a place,forserious conversation, I'm somebody to talk

At Hartford Stage

The Best of the PORTABLE CIRCUSby Glenn Gustafson

It was like seeing your nephew who playedin the school band conducting the BostonPops. Your smile just radiates pride as yousit cross-legged and notice that everyonearound you seems to be having a good time.All because of your nephew.

Well, Chip Keyes is no relative of mine(unfortunately) but his humor was music tomy ears Monday night when the PortableCircus passed out their balloons of laughterto the overflow crowd at the Hartford StageCompany. Fused with the careful- timingand brilliant characterization that havemade the Portable Circus a dormitory wordat the College, their routines firecrackeredgiggles and hearty guffaws in what startedout to be a straight faced audience.

The bulk of the Circus bag of improvscontained the most imaginative of pastmaterial. Who can forget the customer wholiterally takes his fill of flowers in a shopswallowing poison-ivy for dessert?

Or how about the show of tears in CentralPark where a mugger gets cleaned out bythe muggee? And then there's Moses and theself destructing bush; two candybars in amachine; Nancy Sinatra's Nazi coun-terpart; and an all time favorite; a gutsyrendition of 'Soldier Boy'

The new material wasn't so good. Incomedic terminology, it just sort of rolledover and lay there. A notable exception was

'. the scene in which a compulsive liar wedgeshis way into a couple's harmony, settingthem at each other's throats. The skit endswith husband and wife yelling insults backand forth while Chip Keyes, as the fibbingfriend, innocently marvels at his cup ofcoffee.

While not every situation brought downthe house, with laughter, the players'momentum and involvement with theirpredicaments often was all that was neededto sustain interest in the at times overdoneideas. As you might have guessed, thelanguage was toned down considerably lestembarrassment weigh down laughs. In-terestingly, though, the opposite happened.For example, when the buttermilk gun-sling er draws his weapon a second too late,•"Shee.it!" is a hundred times funnier than"Damnation!", which the Stage Company'saudience heard. Don'task me why. It just is.

If you have been following the PortableCircus since its first show' over a year ago,you probably have noticed some changes intheir style. Instead of always aiming for thepunch-line ending, which is at best a riskybusiness, the Circus humor has evolved intomore of a, dare I say it, situation comedy.When this flops, as it did a couple of timesMonday, it lapses into a wash of,tedium. Buthalfway original skits like "At Home withSnow White and Prince Charming" give thehumor a much more realistic, and soidentifiable punch. Of course if the sceneends on a, blockbuster line like "Then why doyou put flies in your oatmeal every.mor-ning1;", that's good too,, I'd like to think that the lake of people that

ebbed out of the theater between the end ofthe formal show and the suggested im-provisations after it did so because theywere all laughed out. More likely they had toget home to relieve the babysitter. (At 10o'clock?) What followed their exit wasn'thysterically funny but that's not the point.You'd think that after a solid evening of fun(unheard of on T.V. and very rare at themovies), they'd have a curiosity with maybe

. a frosting of loyalty to stick around and seewhat comical magic eight talented youngpeople could work with ideas,they them-selves offered in the anonymity of darknessat intermission.,Isn't the whole idea behindthe Portable Circus anyway that it can't livewithout an audience and vice versa? Wellversed in such matters a little voice insidemy heart says no; people are just out to getwhatever they can for themselves afterwhich they split.

I'd like to believe he's wrong. That it's nota case of Take the Laughs and Run. Thatgiven the superintimate atmosphere of theOld Cave Cafe and the come-on of thosefunny posters, these people would shed theiruptightness and, what the hell, stay an extrahalf hour to get to know Steve Charleston,Lynn Derrick, Miklos Horvath, Ann Covery,Jeff Lippa, David Dangler, Mark Williams,

. and, oh yes, Chip Keyes.

New York: "Midsummer Night'sDream" A Great Theater ExperienceThe program notes to the .Royal

Shakespeare Company's production of AMidsummer Night's Dream quote directorPeter Brook as saying, "Once, the theatrecould begin as magic; magic at the sacredfestival, or magic as the footlights came up.Today, it is the other way round. . .We mustopen our empty hands and show that reallythere is nothing up our sleeves. Only thencan we begin."

Brook is one of the few directors whoseems to think of the playwright as hiscollaborator rather than his master. While,other directors may present a Shakespeareplay with the attitude of, "It's Shakespeare,so you're supposed to like it," Brook un-derstands that Shakespear's magic is toosubtle to be captured easily. It is necessaryfor actor, audience, and director to work atit. He does not expect Shakespeare to do thewhole play by himself; it is becauseShakespeare is so complex that he requiresmore interpretation than other playwrights,not less; Brook admits that Shakespeare canbe a tedious bore if the actors just standthere and recite the lines.

In A Midsummer Night's Dream Brookrolls up his sleeves and puts his brilliantimagination to work. He begins by strippingaway all the superfluous trappings whichare usually associated with the play .The setis formed by three sides of a large white boxwith two white doors in the back. There areladders in the back and at the sides, andthere is a balcony on top, from which theactors may watch scenes in which they arenot involved. The fairies move about bymeans of ingenious trapeze devices. Brookhas also added guitar and percussion ac-companiment in certain places, and he hasmade use of occasional pieces of stylizedscenery, such as long vertical coils of wirewhich represent trees in the forest. The herbwhich King Oberon and Puck use in thesleeping lovers' eyes is represented by asilver plate which they spin on sticks andthen pass from stick to stick. The play isfilled with other imaginative devices,equally as clever, and Brook's inventivenessnever seems to dry up.

The result of this approach is that the playitself emerges more clearly. A MidsummerNight's Dream becomes, quite literally, adream. When the lovers enter the forest,they enter the world of the sleeper, wherethey seem to be part of someone's dream.With the appearance of the fairies, events nolonger seem to follow logical patterns.Because of Oberon's and Puck's tricks, both

by Tom IlegnierLysander and Demetrius, who had lovedHermia, awake to find themselves inex-plicably in love with Helena. Bottom turnsinto an ass, and Titania, queen of the fairies,falls in love with him. But during the nightOberon and Puck go to work to make surethat everything turns out right. Just as asleeper may awake to find his problems tosome extent resolved, the lovers awake tofind everyone in love with whomever theyshould love, so that all works out happily.Brook makes the dream even more con-vincing by admitting that it can have itsnightmarish aspects. When Hermia learnsthat Lysander has left her and no longerloves her, her feelings of panic are indicatedby the ominous music which accompaniesher half-mad scurrying around

But Brook's production does not justprovide a better intellectual understandingof the play-it also provides one of the mosthighly entertaining theater eveningsimaginable, Seeing this play is simply agreat deal of fun. The magic is actuallythere because the play achieves somethingthat is quite rare in theater-an almost totalcommunion between actors and audience.This is due to Brook's astute direction on thebasic level, The actors take advantage ofevery pause so that the audience has time towatch their reactions and to participate inthem. For example, when Puck passesOberon a silver plate representing the lovepotion, Oberon catches it on his stick, but itspins rather wobbily. When Oberon suc-ceeds in getting the plate spinning again, helooks so pleased with himself that theaudience cannot help sharing his delight.This is purely a stage effect which could notbe duplicated in a film.

But the feeling of communion comesalso from our awareness that it is our dreamas well as theirs. When Bottom and the otherartisans perform their play before Theseus'court, the court laughs at the artisans'clumsiness. Hippolyta, Theseus' bride,says, "This is the silliest stuff that I haveever heard." But Theseus replies, "The bestin this kind are but shadows; and the worstare no worse, if imagination amend them."The artisans are using, in a crude way, thebasic tools of imagination. They use alantern to represent the moon, but they tellus at the same time that it is really just alantern. To ridicule the principle un-derneath all this is to deny an terns ofmadness, including imagination, love, andpoetry. When Theseus and his friends laugh;at the artisans, they are laughing at,themselves. And all the time that theaudience has been laughing at Theseus andhis friends, they have been laughing atthemselves. We have not been observing adream, we have been dreaming one. Brook'sproduction makes this clear. As Puck says,"You have but slumbered here. While thesevisions did appear." It has all been onecrazy, glorious dream which everyone in thetheater has shared. At the end of the per-formance which I saw, audience and castboth took Puck's words, "Give me yourhands, if we be friends," literally as theaudience applauded for about five minuteswhile the cast came off the stage to shakehands with them.

A Midsummer NigUl's Dream is one of thegreatest theater experiences I have had,and it is almost surely the best show in NewYork. It is having a limited run at the BillyRose Theatre on Broadway.

Non-WesternCirieniaby Ted Kroll

Over he past week the Cinestudio hasbrought to this campus an impressive arrayof truly good, but not popularly-known films.Having already spoken about Welles'FALSTAFF earlier this week, I would like totalk about BOY and MANDABI, two filmswhich took me by surprise. One of the vir-tues of being a movie junkie is that everyonce and a while you really get the. goodstuff, often when you least expect it.Sometimes an excellent film is stumbledupon by playing TV roulette late on aSaturday night, but it is a truly rare ex-perience when you can sit in a movie theatreand see two little-known gems back to back.

Such was my experience last Sunday nightwhile watching :BOY and MANDABI..Perhaps it may be a bit futile to write aboutfilms you will not be able to see without anextensive search, but at least remembertheir names and go see them if by chancethey should appear in some neighborhoodtheatre.

Certainly the main reason these films willnever be shown outside of an art theatre isthat they are foreign language films, and inexotic tongues at that. BOY is Japanese andMANDABI come from Senegal, so theworlds they show are quite different fromour own in the way people look and act. Yetcultural differences of both films provide anintoxicating fascination which comes fromseeing places unknown to Westernaudiences.

MANDABI is a slow-paced film whichcenters around a simple plot situation of apoor man who is trying to cash a moneyorder only to be thwarted by bureacracy and

general nastiness. While this story acts as anarrative base to the film, the interest of•MANDABI comes out of the concentration ofthe camera on the routine life in Senegal.

First we become familiar with hishousehold which consists of two wives andseven children. As we follow them throughthe daily routine we see their poor conditionof having little to eat, yet they never seemworried about their situation - Allah willprovide. This might seem common-placeand it probably is for anyone living inSengal, but the director, Sembene, addsmany little details which give this householda dignity and charm. One of the mostbeautiful images is simply the pouring ofwater into a jar, yet the angle from whichSembene shows this insignificant Set givesthe precious water a rich, poetic meaning.Another detail which is almost a throw awaysince it only appears in the background is alittle black girl playing with a white babydoll.

In the poor man's adventures throughBureaucratland we have a rare opportunityto view life in the emerging Africa. As far asSembene is concerned, it would seem thegrowth of an urban society in Africa onlybrings corruption. This is the central themeof the film, although it is never expresseduntil the end. Sembene uses a barrage ofdetails to show the situation in the ThirdWorld. For example, a certain type of ricefrom Indochina is considered better thanthose from American or France. Or, again,we barely see that the ink blotter for anofficial in the post office is a large picture ofCastro.

All in all MANDABI is a small, un-pretenious film. Its charm and beauty comeout of this simple, straight forwardcenematic style which allows us to observethe rich, colorful life which is occuring rightnow in Senegal. One looks with eagernessfor an opportunity to see Sembene's littleshown BLACK GIRL.

BOY, on the other hand, is an extremelycomplex, modern-styled film. One is quicklyreminded of the style of Godard, that greatgod of the New Cinema. What Oshima(BOY'S director) and Godard share mostclosely is their crystal clear photographywhich tends to place the drama of a situationinto the background. They are both moreinterested in showing the' conditions andsettings which surround a character ratherthan letting you get emotionally involved.However, where Godard uses this distan-cing to reflect and intellectualize on hischaracters, Oshima shows a disjointedworld of a boy without a home.

As with MANDABI we have a simple storyabout a boy who fakes automobile accidentsto get money for his family. Oshima hasdone a remarkable thing with this film byshowing us this narrative from the point ofview of this stoic ten year old. This does notmean that all the camera angles are just alittle bit lower than usual, but rathersomething much more interesting and in-triguing - we see things through this boy'smentality.

While at first it takes a bit of adjustmentto follow the story, gradually the viewer

slips into the loneliness which surrounds thisboy who never spends more than a couple ofdays in one place. Throughout the film arescenes which show the boy completely byhimself, acting out his own fantasies. Theamazing and haunting quality of these in-credible scenes comes from Oshima's ob-jective style which merely shows the boywrapped up in these magical moments.

The finest of these moments is a scene in asnow storm where they have built a conicalsnow structure. He adds a red boot and hisprized wristwatch to this pile of snow andthis transforms the snow into his Man of theCosmos. This image seems perplexing to anadult for the snowman does not look likemuch of anything. But we are privileged tosee this boy in the depths of his childish :fantasies and this snowman has a meaningwhich only he can visualize and understand.We can only watch and wonder. Finally theboy realizes that he is involved in a fantasywhich he must destroy. So with an un-controlable rage he tears his deity apart.

From this childlike perspective Oshimahas presented us the look and feel of ModernJapan. Most of the Japanese films releasedin the U. S. are either cheap science fictionor else epics set in Classical Japan. WithBOY, however, we see the realities of aradically changed country. Always arethere hundreds of little cars moving in thebackground or else a subway train. Theworld that the boy and his family movethrough consists of modern, barren hotelswith- hugh Coca-Cola signs in thebackground. All through the film there areJapanese flags which clutter up the screensuggesting that Oshima is trying to makesome sort of allegory with this film. Thesesymbols, luckily are never forced and one isleft with the feeling that the new Japan is nopleasant place to live.

Oshima has been making films for tenyears now. If BOY is a good indication of thetalent he possesses, he can be rightly con-sidered one of the major new directors toappear in the past few years. Apparentlysome of his best work is unavailable in theU. S., so one can only hope that we will havechance to see more of this man's cinema inthe near future.

Neglect Of ClarityIf you were to suggest that tenured faculty members who don't

prepare for their classes, who teach the exact same courses everyyear, who don't keep up in the scholarly developments in their ownfield, and who do not carefully grade and advise their students, bedismissed, the cry of academic freedom would be heard.

Yet in their most recent fit of self contradiction, the faculty hasconcurred with its near-reactionary Committee on Academic Affairsand reset the precedent of 'neglect,of work' as grounds for expellingstudents.

Not only do the tenured faculty refuse to apply the same standards tothemselves as they would to their students in involing the rule, but inthis 'neglect of work' statement they have struck a severe blow to theacademic freedom of students. A blanket statement as 'neglect ofwork', by vagueness, imprecision, and lack of precedents is adangerous tool in the hands of the faculty which, at a time in the future,might view criticism of faculty or demonstration against them as a'neglect of work'. Not only is such punitive action ineffective in raisingacademic standards, but appeals of such decisions can only be made tothe body which first made them, i.e., the faculty.

The old argument will be raised that you have to have 'trust' in thisisolated community. First, it is clear that with all the pressures,

"financial and otherwise, being exerted on the private colleges by thestate, trustees, alumni, and other non-participatory groups, 'trust' ofthose susceptible to the pressures is strained. But a more clear con-tradiction is also involved in the faculty invocation of 'trust' for whydoesn't the faculty 'trust' the students to judge their performanceagainst a 'neglect of work' standard.

This paper has sent a formal complaint to the Committee ofAcademic Freedom concerning that 'neglect of work' clause. We hopethat appropriate action will be taken to clarify 'neglect of work' so asto prevent abuse. Perhaps the best clarification would be to eliminatethe criteria completely.

To the Editor:Why does controversy rage over as simple

a matter as choosing a combo for our nextgala song-fest. Forget the wierd, drug-oriented music too prevalent today andreturn to the 50's: when kids were kids, longhair was on girls, the hardest drug knownwas a chocolate malt, and songs made noclaim to have so-called "socialsignificance."

I suggest that the M.H.B.O.G. procure theservices of none other than B, Bumble andthe Stingers. Who can forget this pianogroup's-.keen rendition of "Nut Rocker"?For the "prelims," as the current sayinggoes, a suitable group would be Sam theSham and the Pharoahs with theirsaxophones swinging neatly in rhythm. Asthe talent of these two combos is notrecognized by the hippies and hooligans oftoday's permissive society, they can beobtained for as little as $50 each.

You can count on my presence at theirbash!

'Presumptuous'To the Editor:

The February 5, 1971 issued of the TrinityTripod included a letter to you signed withthe pseudonym, "Adam Smith." The pur-pose of the present letter is not to discuss thepoints raised in the Smith letter, but ratherto,provide your readers with additionalinformation which may enable them to putin proper perspective Smith's assertion tnatthe Department of Economics contains"forces that seek to restrain the freecompetition of ideas and academic un-derstanding." This information was readilyavailable to Smith. However, he apparentlymade no effort to ascertain the reasons forthe "failure" of the Chairman of theDepartment of Economics to respond af-"

firmatively and immediately to Mr. Smith'spresumptuous request (demand?) that theDepartmental Secretary give top priority tothe distribution of an anonymous document.

On Wednesday, 3 February, MissSteiman, the Departmental Secretary,showed me a note which requested.that sherun off, collate, and distribute a three-page"open letter." The note and letter had beenplaced on her desk in her absence, and she isunaware of the authorship of either. I askedher not to comply with that request and toldher that when the author contacted her todetermine whether we would "publish" theletter, she was to refer him (her or them) tome. This would enable me to explain why Ibelieved that the letter in its original formshould not be distributed with, in effect, theapproval of the Department. The matter didnot seem to involve issues of immediateurgency, and I naively assumed thatdiscussion of the letter at the next regularlyscheduled meeting of the Faculty ofEconomics (Friday, 12 February) would notbe inappropriate.

The author of the letter was not com-municated with either Miss Steiman or me,nor has anyone, to my knowledge, asked todiscuss the matters outlined in the letterwith the Faculty of Economics or withundergraduate majors and/or prospectivemajors at a group meeting.

I refused Mr. Smith's original request forthe following reasons:

1, I am not opposed, in principle, to thepreparation and distribution by theDepartment of a polemic signed with apseudonym. I am, however, as a Chairmancharged with budgetary and educationalpolicy responsibilities opposed to suchdistribution at Departmental expense if theauthor is not known to the members of theDepartment.

2. Quiz frankly I believe that the originalletter (not reproduced in its entirety in theTripod) contained misleading, mischievous,and inaccurate statements. I had hoped thatdiscussion of these points with the authorwould produce a more objective document.

3., It was also my hope that the authormight be persuaded to use establishedchannels of communication within theDepartment to initiate discussion of hisproposals. A number of the points which heraised are relevant in terms of the con-tinuing curricular dialogue at Trinity--infact, had the author communicated with me,he would have discovered that we are notunaware of certain trends which hedescribes, and that curricular revision is anon-going process within the Department(one wonders if he is aware of the subjectmatter of our Senior non-honors seminars orof the several 102 sections).

4.1 hoped that discussion of the nature ofthe constraints affecting our staff andcurricular planning would make him moreconscious of the actual "trade-offs" in-volved in his proposals.

In conclusion, a more personal ob-

'From the Left'

To the Editor,Recently you published a letter written by

Adam Smith which contained a sweepingattack upon the Economics Department. Iwould like to reply to that note via yournewspaper, though I must add that it hasdistracted me from my research into TrinityCollege's labor relations and its capitalistorientation.

I believe it important that this Mr. Smithrealize that the forces of history aremomentarily on the side of the EconomicsDepartment at Trinity. I would add that thesame historical forces seem to be at work onMr. Smith. Let me explain.

Smith has suggested that Trinity's un-dergraduates are no longer interested inbusiness and the process of capital ac-cumulation. If he had bothered to undertakea bit of research in the Registrar's archives,he would have learned that the most popularcourses in the Economics Department'scurriculum are capitalist oriented. The sonsand daughters of the bourgeoisie and pettybourgeoisie (those self-centered moneygrubbers and exploiters) find greater in-terest in the techniques of calculatingsurplus value and modes of capital ac-cumulation than in the problems of theproletariat. Again, a quick look at the titlesof the senior honors papers will illustratethis very great concern for capital ac-cumulation. These students cannot help buthold these interests for'there are forces atplay in the system which impel them to viewthese matters with considerable interest.The survival of their class requires this sortof education. In time, as the system con-tinues in its historical path, these futureexploiters of the proletariat will be exploitedand then students will study my most recentworks in order to understand what is to be,(My hope is that they grasp my lessons withmore understanding than have the studentsin the Soviet Union.)

As for Mr. Smith's suggested course ofstudy dealing with the problems of un-derdeveloped countries, we see again thiscapitalist orientation of that canny Scot-sman. Smith's concern is not with therelease of the proletariat from the chainswhich bind them, but rather he is interestedin the extension of the process of ex-ploitation which pervades whenevercapitalism "draws all, even the most bar-barian, nation into civilization." Mr. Smithis only concerned with the indoctrination ofthe young in the means to extend thebourgeois mode of production and create aworld after the capitalist image. Thesuggested new course of study is but onemore step in maintaining the capitalistprocess of economic development-it is anelement of capitalist imperialism.

Now, because my carbunkles arebothering me, I must end this note andreturn to my research and observations ofthe means employed in the production ofnew capitalists needed so desperately by thebourgeoisie class which is fighting a losingbattle. You know, of course, that history ison the side of the proleteriat.

Respectfully submitted,Karl Marx

P.S. Since my very dear friend Engels wasnot available at this time to report mythoughts to you on this matter, I have askedone of your own, Herr Koktor ProfessorBattis, to prepare this letter. His style, youwill observe, is wanting. Engels could havedone so much more with my ideas.

'Buffy Portrey

To the Editor: •.To John Speziale, all we can say us; Who is

out of place? It seems that the Tripod critic

took offense to Buffy Sainte-Marie's com-ments concerning the poor across thiscountry. The guilt feelings of many personsattending last week's concert were sup-posedly unduly injured by Miss Saint-Marie's "help the Indians" appeals. FewAmericans are aware of the destituteconditions that upwards of 20% of ourpopulation struggle with every day. BuffySainte-Marie is one of those enlightenedelitists who have successfully perseveredagainst the suffocating conditions facing thepoor. Is it a crime, we submit, to shareempathetic knowledge?

Most people have not experienced or evenseen real poverty: malnourished children,rat-infested one-room tenement bhouses,cramped ill-equipped reservations, armed'and decrepit facilities, masquerading asschools. It is easy to pass off these con-ditions as moderate blights on a healthysociety; but when those blights, as BuffvSainte-Marie pointed out, have roots in thebasic structures of our society, it is time formore positive action. And action inignorance is impossible. An entertainingpersonality who identifies problems is doinga great service to the community.

Thank God for a person like Buffy Sainte-Marie who uses every opportunity to play onthe guilt feelings of those detached con-servatives in the audience, and hence,forces their ultimate awareness andeducation. The poor live in a different kindof misery, one of crying want. A person whobecomes irritated when reminded of therealities of poverty, even in the realm ofentertainment, is indeed cold to the suf-fering of his fellow Americans. Mr. Speziale,take note.

This poverty problem that Buffy Sainte-Marie referred to in and between songs, isnot so detached from the hallowed halls ofour College, as many Trinity students wouldhope to believe. Last December, 300students showed they cared when they votedunanimously to settle the B & G workers'wage disputes through binding arbitration,accepting the possibility of an increase inroom and board payments. To those fewstudents, it seemed a small price to pay toinsure that the janitors, who are so truly apart of the Trinity College community, areearning at least poverty-level wages. Butthe Trustees spoke, an the majority of thestudents were apathetic to the crisis. Theresult??—Turkey for the janitors with asmile, while the College continues to pay out-workers less than what the governmentdeems as minimal to subsist. Whathypocrisy! Give the poor presents onChristmas and the guilty consciences of themore affluent are assuaged. When are wegoing to stop handling the poor, turkeys andstart giving them and their children achance to break the vicious poverty cycle?!

What Buffy Sainte-Marie did through herconcert was to stir controversy, furtherirritating the already suppressedcallousness of many of Trinity's students.And it is with humble gratitude, rather thanJohn Speziale's mocking indignation, thatwe applaud those few humanitarians like aBuffy Sainte-Marie who artfully identify theplight of millions of poor Americans. Adialogue should always exist. A concert is asfine as place as any to begin the debate. AndMr. Speziale, if we are not to help the poor,who should we help?

With special wishesto Speziale, sincerely

Jon Entine and Jay Moller

'Surf's High!'

To the Editor,Surfing is not the only way to live and no

one said it was. The recent article on surfingmisconstrued every major idea that we hadin mind.

Surfing is both a sport and an art form. Itis certainly not a "way of life" for any of usat Trinity. It is, instead, a way to enhanceour experience of life - an attempt to come togrips with a natural force by means ofskillful surfing and to internalize that ex-1

perience in an effort to understand anotherdimension of life (that is nature). Artificialstimulants such as drugs are alien to thenatural, healthy life that characterizessurfing trips. The insinuation that Trinitysurfers "smoke (probably cigarettes)" andthat "dope is the key to surfing" mostcertainly be the result of a gross misun-derstanding among all concerned. The onlything we get "high" on is life - try itsometime. . , /

Religiously yours,3 Misunderstood Surfers

'Finals'To the Editor:

I oppose Mr. Nye's proposal for requiredfinal exams. The educational value of finalsis questionable at best; what is certain is theextraordinary amount of tension and worrythat finals inflict upon students. Havingstudents walking around like zombies fortwo weeks, full of Vibarin and coffee andneeding sleep, can hardly be justified as anecessary part of our education.

Mr. Nye's goal is "uniformity of courses,"so that a professor's popularity would not beaffected by his decision to give or not to givea final. Surely, with respect to something asobjectionable and senseless as finals, amuch better way to make courses u. iformwould be to abolish finals altogether. At thevery least, they should all be made optional.

Sincerely,

Steve Barkan '73

'Tradition'

To the Editor:As has been so well noticed by the

majority of those who are familiar withtraditions here at the College, thesechanging times have made it impossible forcertain traditions to continue as standardsby which any community may judge itself.Thus, the passing of the medusa, anhonorary society at one time, was naturallyexpected due to the nature of our times sincethere are no heroes amongst us, and few ofus have any desire to be anything but con-trolled by the former watchdog group. Yetseveral seniors, who call themselvesmedusa members, now comprise anhonorary society without honor and serve toblight the former tradition of the society.The least this special interest, extracurricular-list oriented, group could havedone would be to have assumed somecreativity selecting a name that divorcesthem from the past, may it rest in peace!

This medusa group is now formulatingcourse evaluations that "will, without adoubt, be as vague and uninformative as theone published some five years ago. Anyevaluation based on the tabulation ofnumerical values assigned to impressionsone has of a course will be as varied andfluctuate as randomly as are the interestsand the intelligence levels of those com-pleting the forms. Suffice it to say, the bestadvice, or at least a reasonable substitute

for advice, will be from the kid down thehall.

Since no criticism should lack asuggestion for a reasonable alternative, Iwould suggest that several majors in eachdepartment formulate a report on selectedquestions in relation to departmenatlfaculty members, course offerings, studentsin the department, etc. These first handimpressions, which could be dittoed, stapledtogether, and distributed, would provide toany interested student the needed in-formation, on any department; and theinformation there would necessarilycomprise the most perceptive and analyticin depth, for I still believe that a studentmajoring in any department eventuallycomes to many important conclusionsconcerning his department, perhaps the lastand only commitment any student has tomake on this campus during four years!

Who could expect this group to cover thestated topic well?

'Matrimony'

To the editor:Young brides to be will soon learn that

there is more to marriage than sex, love,pregnancy, and more sugar. Students andconcerned adults from the Greater Hartfordarea will take part in leafletting the WPOP-sponsored Bridal Fair this coming Saturdayand Sunday. Trinity students and membersof the Society for Human Survival of WestHartford form the main group involved inthe activity. Our leaflet contains in-formation on the origins of the populationproblem, how it affects the U. S. and theworld, and what can be done about youngwomen who will have the responsibility ofdeciding what the future population of thiscountry be will must be exposed to certainissues concerning them as bridges. Theplanned panel presentations of the Fair willnot be informing women of the necessity oflimiting their own families as the only wayof combatting the plague of overpopulation.We hope that many of the people taking our

-leaflet will read it, will question it, and willlearn. We'll be passing out leaflets from 8:00a.m. to5:00p.m. on Saturday and 10:30 a.m.to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. Anyone interested inhelping should contact us at 525-8051 or 549-0833 immediately.

to."McGrath says she is very restricted

through lack of funds. She has had a groupfrom planned parenthood speak to studentsin her area, but she said she has beenhampered by a lack of places to holdmeetings.

McGrath says she feels strongly that theTrustees should come into the dorms to seeexactly what the problems are.

Neil Boutin, the Coordinator for SouthCampus, sees his job as "being available totry to help students with anything theymight want or need." He says the programis working better than the J.A. system, buthe said undergraduates should be part of thestaffing.

Boutin said that students today are veryself-sufficient and don't need muchassistance. He has, however, helped outwith many minor problems around thedorms, he said.

He thinks that the Coordinators' greatestresponsibility is to find out what studentswant in order to give the Office of Com-munity Life an idea of student feelings.

Scott Tappan, Coordinator for Jones andElton, said, "more money has to be offeredto get the dedication needed to make theprogram more effective." The greaterremuneration would make the residentialadvisor feel a debt to the students, he said.

Tappan said the Coordinators were givenno definition of their jobs. "We have no realidea of what we're supposed to be doing."

Tappan said that they mainly serve as abuffer between students and Buildings and

Grounds. "If a student has a problem withhis room, he should call B&G himself,"Tappan said. He also said that there weretoo many students and not enough funds lorthe program as it now existed,

Most students, when asked about theeffectiveness of their Coordinator, ex-pressed severe doubts. Many felt the J.A.system was superior.

Barry Ahearn, '73, said that neitherprogram was effective, but the ResidentialCoordinators were less so. /'They are awaste," he said.

Philip Daley, '73, felt that the J.A. systemwas worthwhile. "I got to know up-perclassmen through my J.A. He wassomebody I could talk to." He said he didn'tknow the name of his Coordinator.

John Maher, '72, thought the formalpurpose of the J'.A. system was negligible,but that it did serve an informal purpose. Hesaid that he didn't know anything about theCoordinator system but that he'd like to seeundergraduate staffing in the dorms.

Greg Sammons, '72, felt the Coordinatorsystem was better. "They are considerablymore mature," he said,

William O'Reilly, '71, said he thoughtstudents today don't need any special ad-visors. "The quality of friendship is suchthat people don't need things likeResidential Coordinators and J.A.'s."

Jim Zaccaria, '73, said that the J.A.system accomplishes much more than theCoordinator plan does. He felt the Coor-dinators did not know their duties. He addedthat there might be better uses for them o n e y , : ,•...:. ••,.•• , ..•

Adjudicative Panels concurr.The Adjudicative system will judge on the

harmfulness of the acts independently ofany civil action.

A second report submitted to the Councilby its acting chairman Charles J. Yeager,72, and James H. Graves, '71, asked that noaction be taken by the College when it ispreceded by ciyil action, or when recourseto civil courts is possible.

Essentially, the Yeager-Graves proposal

asked the College to ignore what a studentdoes in his private life, both on and off thecampus.

A college lawyer argued against theYeager-Graves proposal, stating that thecollege cannot carry that "ignorance" pastthe point of negligence.

"The abolition of 'in loco parentis' doesnot absolve the college of negligence,"asserted Paul Titus, college counsel. Heindicated that the two key areas pertinent in

the law were "reason to know" of a crime orpossible crime which may be "likely tocause interest" in the college.

Titus said this does not mean that thecollege need take pains to find out abouteveryone's wrong doings and act ac-cordingly. He indicated that the college hasto act only when it can be proven that theyhave "reason to know" of possible felonies.

What you should know about diamondswhen you know it's for keeps

You've dreamed about yourdiamond engagement ring a thou-sand times. But now that youknow it's for keeps, it's time tostop dreaming and start learningabout diamonds and their value.

Because no two diamondsare exactly alike, jewelers haveadopted exacting standards to de-termine.the relative value of eachand every diamond in the world.These standards include a dia-mond's size (carat weight), color,cut and clarity,

Although it's important toknow the facts about diamonds,you certainly don't have to be anexpert to choose a Keepsake Dia-mond Ring . . . because Keepsakeguarantees a diamond of fine whitecolor, correct cut and perfect clar-ity or replacement assured. The fa-mous Keepsake certificate providespermanent registration, trade-invalue and protection against lossof diamonds from the setting.

COLOR: Fine white diamonds arequite rare and valued accordingly.Other shades in relative order oftheir worth are: blue, yellow,brown and black,

CUT: The cut of a diamond:—thefacets placed on it by a trainedcutter—brings out the gem's fireand brilliance. Anything less thancorrect cut reduces beauty, bril-liance and value.

CLARITY: Determined by the ab-sence of small impurities. A per-fect diamond has no impurities,when examined under ten powermagnification by a trained eye.

CARAT:' A diamond's size ismeasured in carats. As a.diamond

.. increases in size, its price willincrease even more if the qualityremains constant. But larger dia-monds of inferior: quality may ac-tually be_ worth less than smaller,perfect diamonds.

said that while it solved the felon problem, itcreated an inconsistency within the Ad-judicative System itself. On the one hand,argued Salisch, the System demands con-victions only as a result of infractions ofspecified rules published in the handbook.Now, he argued, the new proposal wouldhave a blanket offense of "harm to the in-dividual or community" which violated thespirit of the present document.

In other council action, Robert II. Osher,'71, was elected to a one-year term asCouncil chairman. Henry A. DePhillips,associate professor of chemistry, waselected vice-chairman and Thomas A.Smith, claiming that he would "control theagenda" was unanimously proclaimedCouncil secretary.

year.Another successful group has been the

Students' International Meditation Society(SIMS). This informal group reports over 40regular student participants and many off-campus members. SIMS and other groupsaccenting individual experience are ap-parently flourishing on campus. The groupsstress meditation, and a philosophical andreligious outlook.

There is a growing interest in relatedacademic subjects by students., The biggestincrease in enrollment in a single depart-ment at the College since 1968 was reportedat 133% by the Philosophy department.Large gains were also reported in theReligion and Psychology departments.

Among other new and successful groupson campus is the Portable Circus, a comicimprovisaiional revue.

One organization to make a comeback isMedusa, which disbanded several yearsago. The new Medusa has a new form andpurpose. Originally it was the supremeadjudicative system on campus. Revivedthis year, it is basically a tradition-preserving group. Their major activity in1971 is producing a course evaluation formfor students.

Participation in intercollegiate sports byTrinity students has increased slightly overpast years, according to Athletic Centerdirector Carl Kurth and several coaches.

Kurth estimates that 40-50% of the malestudents at the College are involved in atleast one intercollegiate sport. Interest inthe physical education programs and in therecreation courses have also increased, hesaid. The skiing class, with over 50 studentsenrolled, had to turn away nearly a third ofthat number this winter.

Crew coach Norman Graf said studentsmay be turning away from tacklingpolitical, economic and social problemsbecause they couldn't get results, while in asport they could see the fruit of their efforts.

The rise in sports participation may beinfluenced by the construction of the FerrisAthletic Center in 1969, but this must beweighed against the abolishment of theathletic requirement two years ago.

The TRIPOD has found that over 90% of

Trinity's students can claim they are amember of some co-curricular activity,which includes sports, fraternities and thewhole spectrum of student organizations.Less than 20% can say they are active atpresent and that it is a regular activity forthem.

After interviews with members of nearlyevery student activity on campus, it isevident that the majority of groups arepowered by two to five dedicated and hard-working individuals, The remainingmembers assist in varying degrees.

An outstanding case is James Hanley, '72,the drive behind Cinestudio, He spent about45 hours a week working on the theater lastspring while to other students sat in class.

At least a quarter of the students areemployed in a part-time job on or offcampus. Most jobs occupy 9 to 12 hours aweek, although there are isolated reports ofstudents tackling 30 hour work weeks whilestill enrolled full time.

Not all of the traditional campusorganizations are dying, although they maybe experiencing troubles in obtaining andencouraging student interest.

Richard Schaefer, '71, who has justcompleted an open semester project on theStudent Activities Fund at Trinity and otherColleges has found that certainorganizations are relatively longlasting.

These include the student newspaper,some.type of political group, a philosophy-religious organization, an issue-orientedgroup, a literary publication, some type ofrecreational group, like the Mather Board ofGovernors, and at Trinity, WRTC.

Some type of musical and drama groupwill also be around, but in the future thesemay be funded from within their respectivedepartments rather than from the studentfund, according to Schaefer.

Several of these "longlasting" studentgroups at Trinity are paying wages to someof their key members.

The organizations report that these jobsare generally time-consuming and no one iswilling to fill them. The only way to get thejob done is to pay for it. Wages are generallyonly a "token" payment of a few dollars to asmuch as $100 a semester.

Technical Foul Costly AsFreshmen Bow To Cards

If you don't think that technical fouls playa large role in the outcome of a basketballgame, just ask freshman coach Bill Sferro.On Wednesday his young Bants weredefeated at Wesleyan by a score of 74-73,with a technical foul near the end of thegame playing a large role in the final out-come.

The defeat was a tough one for the Bantsas they led by six points with only 3:43showing on the clock; because of somesloppy play over -the last three minutes,however, they simply could not maintaintheir advantage. The loss also was a toughone because it dropped the Bantams' recordto 6-3. Trinity, which was 4-0 before thesemester break, is now only 2-3 sincereturning from vacation and seems to behaving trouble getting back into a winninggroove.

The first half of Wednesday's game wasrelatively even with Trinity enjoying a 41-36halftime advantage. The second half wasalso a fairly even affair and with only 6:17showing on the clock the score was tied at 63-63. Ron Waters was fouled at this point andconverted two free throws to give theBantams a 65-63 lead. In the next threeminutes Trinity held the Wesleyan Car-dinals to only two free throws while jumpingout a 71-65 lead with 3:43 still to be played.Unfortunately, the Frosh were not to scoreagain until only one second remained on theclock.

At this point the Bants became very< ragged in their play. They took poor shots,threw the ball away and committed anumber of other turnovers. Wesleyan foughtback to trail only 71-70 with 1:45 remaining.Both teams then missed a number of scoringopportunities until with only 51 secondssnowing on the clock Wesleyan gained thelead 72-71. At the same time Ron Duckettwas given a technical foul for protesting theprevious play at the other end of the court.The free throw by Wesleyan was good andwould later provide the margin of victory. 'The Cards then took the ball out of bounds,and successfully stalled for 40 seconds.

Swimmers LoseTo Coast Guard

The Trinity swimmers dropped theirseason mark to 2-5 Tuesday at New London,falling to Coast Guard, 72-41. Coach BobSlaughter's mermen travel to Brunswick,Maine tomorrow to tackle Bowdoin.

The Coast Guard loss was especiallydisappointing to Slaughter, as the Cadetmeet was one which he felt could have goneeither way. The defeat puts a bleak outlook

. on the team's chances for a .500 season.Trinity racked up victories in four events.

Trinity finally fouled with only 10 secondsremaining. The free throw was good.Wesleyan now led by three 74-71. ReggieMartin scored for Trinity with only onesecond remaining but it was too late.

One key factor in Wednesday's defeat wasthe loss of both Bill Fenkel and Ron Watersvia the foul route. Both Fenkel and Waterswere having good games until fouling out.Fenkel, in particular, was hurt by thereferees' decisions as he got to see only 25minutes of action.

Trinity will try to get back on the winningtrail tonight when they host a toughKingsley Hall squad at 6:00.

It was just a case of too little too late forTrinity Wednesday night as they foil toWesleyan 83-77 in Middielown. Down by 21points midway through the final period,Coach Ilobie SIVURK' charges closed to withinsix points with one minute remaining, butthe Cardinals were able to hold off Trinity'slast .second heroics and thereby avertanother "Middlebury."

Against Middlebury the* Bantams trailedat one point 58-311, but after the insertion of.senior forward Greg Shepard into thelineup, Trinity battled back to a 74-72 vic-tory. The Wesleyan f̂ ame had all the ear-marks of another upset. .Shepard entered thecontest with the Bantatn.s trailing (Hl-42, and,after Trinity fell behind by a few morepoints, things began Lo happen.

Captain Howie (Jreenblatt, who led theBantams with 24 points, begun connectingon drives and jumpers and, with teammateStay Perkins, began hawking the Cardinalball handlers. With a little over a minuteremaining Trinity trailed by eight, ill-73 andGroenblalt rifled a perfect pass to NatWilliams, alone under the hoop. Williams'layup attempt rolled off the rim however,with Wesleyan grabbing the rebound.

The Cards, however, fouled Greenblattand the senior guard sank both ends of theone-and-one situation to pull the Bantamswithin six with 55 seconds remaining. A badpass gave Trinity possession with 33 secondsleft, but the Bantams were unable lo convertthe break into a score and Wesleyan iced thegame with two Joe Summa foul shots.

Summa, the Wesleyan captain, was a keyto the Cardinal game both offensively anddefensively. Although Greenblatt scored 24points in the game, 17 of them came in thesecond half and many of those while Summawas on the bench.. Summa houndedGreenblatt most of the first half, and Howiewas able to make only two field goals in thefirst twenty minutes.

The Bantams trailed by seven points atthe half, 42-35. They were able to stay thatclose to the Cards because of Ray Perkins.Perkins scored seven of the first nine Trinitypoints, and finished the half with 13. Ray,

who hails lrom WiKkUetown, had made thestarting five primarily on the basis of hisdefensive prowess, but he has improvedoffensively with each game; he finished

Harvard Slashes Swordsmen, 17-9The Trinity fencing team played a

member of the Ivy League Tuesday, andcame up Crimson-faced. The Bantamswordsmen fell to a powerful Harvard team

. here, 17-9. It was the fencing team's thirdloss in a row, dropping their record to 1-4 onthe year.

Trinity forfeited its triangular meetagainst Norwich and Fairfield because notenough of the team members wanted toparticipate in the meet.

M S T ( f . g B ShOt earIy in the season- Coach J o h» Dunham'sMil, a team they beat last week, in a 7 p.m. away game tomorrow night.

Ray Perkinsscored 20 points

with 20 points against Wesleyan..Williamswas also responsible for Trin's early suc-cess, collecting 13 first half rebounds.

Coach Shults said that he was "disap-pointed" with the loss, and attributed it inpart to some questionable officiating. "Wewere beaten on the boards," said Shults."Wesleyan is a very physical team and theywere pushing and shoving underneath andthe referees were not making the calls.Summa was bothering Howie physically byslapping his hands and it wasn't until thesecond half that they began calling him forit. We did not get the critical calls."

Shults also said that the scoring of theCards' two reserve guards, Gary Walfordand Brian Hearey, who together accountedfor l(i points, was an important factor in theloss. The Bantam coach said he may sub-stitute more in upcoming games.

RacquetmenWin Match

Roy Dath's squash team rebounded fromlast week's loss to Williams to post a 5-4victory over Wesleyan Wednesday at theFerris courts, The important win leaves theracqueteers with a 4-5 season record.

The freshman match between Trinity andWesleyan also wound up with a 5-4 score.However, the Baby Bantams fell on theshort end of this count to remain winlessafter five starts.

The victorious varsity provided someexceptionally close and exciting action intheir win. Three matches were extended tothe five set limit, with the Bantams winningonly one, that being captain SpencerKnapp's victory in the third position.

Other winning Dathmen were FrankMacGruer, Dick Palmer, Malcolm McColl,and Gary Plagenhoef, playing second,fourth, sixth, and eighth, respectively.

The frosh's loss to the Cardinals wasdisappointing due to the tightness of many ofthe matches. Chip Morgan and Steve Rogersboth dropped five set matches; a victory ineither of the two duels would have givenTrin the team triumph.

Malcolm Davidson, playing number one,continued his fine play for the freshmen, byeasily winning his match. Other Trinityvictories were provided by John McCook,Chris Merrow, and Pete Heimann.
