Burns Lauds Activism Berryman, Bois terous Bard,

Next Week's Resident PoetIn Presidency,Public Concern

by Kenneth Winkler

Current civil rights troublesare the "bitter price" the UnitedStates is paying for persistentgovernmental deadlocks, assertedJames MacGregor Burns, who de-livered the annual Mead Lecturein Government, "An End to Dead-lock", in, McCook AuditoriumTuesday evening. The WilliamsCollege professor prophesied,however, a long-run trend againstdeadlock, and toward a much moreeffective and active governmentdue primarily to increased na-tional concern.

In his book THE DEADLOCKOF DEMOCRACY, Burns arguedthat a four-party system existswhich is built on coalition. Heclaimed that this system is drain-ing political power from the gov-ernment and should be replacedby a two-party system, where thetwo groups are in actual opposi-tion.

Burns termed 1960 as a "bell-wether year" in American poli-tics. That year he predicted thateither major-party candidate elec-ted would be an activist presi-dent, but would be stymied bylegislative deadlock. As he pre-dicted, America had an. activistpresident in 1960, but a "rath-er conservative Congress."Though "not passing judgment" onKennedy's years in the WhiteHouse, Burns did note that Ken-nedy failed to put through a num-ber of his major campaign pro-mises, which were defeated by"the drag of the 50's."

Upon Kennedy's death, Burnsnoted, America embarked on oneof her most extraordinary per-iods. Burns pointed to the admir-ably quick shift of Lyndon John-son from senatorial to executiverole. Formerly considered only"a wheeler-dealer," Burns con-tinued, Johnson became a Pres-ident whose liberal domestic I s -sues and appointments are "hardto fault."

Another incredible aspect of thisperiod. Burns commented, was

James MacGregor Burnsthe total collapse of the Repub-lican Party in 1964, He explainedthat the liberal wing of the party,which traditionally dominated thenational conventions, "fumbled theball," which conservatives quick-ly recovered. He blamed the fail-ure of the liberals to dominatethe convention on key politicalfigures among them Scranton andRockefeller who simply did notexert pressure.

With the Republican collapse,the 1964 election ushered in what

John Berryman, a 19C5 Pulit-zer Prize winner, will be theCollege's bearded Bard-in-Re-sidence for the week beginningOctober 9. His stay is sponsoredby the Trinity College Poetry Cen-ter under the supervision of Pro-fessor of English Stephen Minot.

Berryman's official stay oncampus will begin Monday nightwhen the poet will read from hisown work. Berryman will be in-troduced at eight p.m. in the Good-win Theater of the Austin ArtsCenter by eminent fellow poetRichard Wilbur. Wilbur, a pro-fessor of English at Wesleyan,renowned for his poetry as wellas his introductions, has receiv-ed the Pulitzer Prize and theNational Book Award.

William Meredith, chancellor ofthe American Academy of Poets,will introduce Berryman's read-ings of - the work oi DelmoreSchwartz, Theodore Roethke, Eli-zabeth Bishop and Robert Lowellon Wednesday night at 8:30 p.m.

It is timely that Berryman havethe opportunity to read from theworks of these four, whom lieconsiders the most influential ofcontemporary poets, as two ofthem, Roethke and Schwartz havedied within the year.

Writer of the critical biographyof Stephen Crane, Berryman willreveal another aspect of his lit-erary zeal - his penchant forShakespeare - at his final lectureon THE TEMPEST Friday night.Introductions that night will bemade by F.D. Reeve, professor ofRussian at Wesleyan, who hashad a number of his own poemspublished in respected literaryjournals.

As subject of a LIFE magazinefeature in July, Berryman wasrevealed to be a boisterous cele-brater of life NOW. Sometimesthe man's insight can prove dis-turbing. His episodes are intense-ly original and force the readerto the brink of vicarious hallu-cination. In fact, his "dream-

Socking It to Whitey:

Barhour Prognosticates Bloodshedby Paul Burton

"A lot of whites, are going todie unless they hear the soundof the broken glass," threatenedJohn Barbour, militant Black Cau-cus leader, at a meeting of theTrinity Association of NegroesWednesday night in the Washing-ton Room of Mather Hall.

Barbour, who holds an M.A.in political science from Yale, ex-plained that "the sound of brokenglass" is the Negro's cry forfreedom. If the white man hearsthis cry and respnds to it, manylives can be saved, both blackand white, promised Barbour, Hechastised white liberals who havefailed to make a response thusfar.

Referring to Dr, Martin LutherKing, he contended "They gavehim civil rights bills and poverty

Jacobs, Students ConsiderSocial Facilities, Parietals

Responding to student requestsfor better communications withcollege policy makers, Dean ofStudents Roy Heath arranged forSenate, Medusa and TRIPOD re-presentatives to meet in an in-formal discussion with PresidentAlbert C. Jacobs on Tuesday.

Routed on what Heath termed aDotentlal "collision course" onseveral issues, David E. Chanin'68, Daniel L. Goldberg '68, LloydJ. Kramer '69, Jeffrey E. Lucas'68, Keith M. Miles '68, and Ro-bert D. Pippin '70 focused theirdiscussion on the questions ofsocial facilities and parietal hours.

Both discussions ended in "nocommitment" but in a willingnessfor further talks.

At the outset of the discussionJacobs said that he realized socialaccommodations were of theutmost concern to the college com-munity.- He assured the studentsthat the Trustees were preparedto do."something" but asked thestudents to be mindful of the con-siderable and unexpected expensethrust upon the College with thenecessary renovation of the LongWalk dorms and with the destruct-ion too of Alumni Hall gymnasium.

He further spoke of the possibilityof a two story facility but addedthat both he and the Trustees wereuncertain what students wanted andwould consider adequate.

The consensus response was thatthe new facility must constitutean alternative to the fraternitysystem, especially in view of thefact that many students were ques-tioning the value of the house sys-tem as reflected in the SenateSoc-ial Evaluation and the reports ofthe Student Life Committee.Chanin emphasized that a desirablealternative for independent livingmust be a building where studentscan relax comfortably and withsome privacy. Elaborating, hesaid the facility should be a placewhere students would like to gatherin their off-hours, either withdates or simply just tounwindwitha beer and a card game.Asked for more specific recom-

mendations the students suggesteda master plan along the lines of thatconceived by Chaplain Alan C.Tull. Tull's plan would create twostudent social centers at the northand south ends of campus, eachcomposed of dining facilities for

programs, but they didn't give himfreedom." This freedom, Barbourholds, is the goal of his ownwork, menacingly adding that Ne-groes have died for it and willkill for it, if necessary,

Barbour saw the present racialproblem in America as the re-sult of a long historical process,which he divided into three phaseswhich corresponded to the Ne-groes' social position: slavery,segregation, and "urban ghettoiza-tion."

The leader of Hartford's BlackCaucus saw slavery as the "emas-culation of the black male by whiteracism." He pointed out that fam-ilies were torn apart and the Ne-gro male reduced to a stud, whosesole purpose was to increase hismaster's slave holdings throughprocreation.

The enslaved Negroes, Barboursaid, were dispirited and unableto fight their oppressors, but theydeveloped an "adapted instinct tosurvive" and prayed for a blackmessiah.

Even today, he noted, Negroeshave "a kind of genius for sur-vival."

The first signs of Negro re-volt against whites, however in-significant, asserted Barbour, ap-peared during the slavery exper-ience. Some of the slaves got theidea of dying for freedom, he said,while others even began to killtheir slave masters. "They killeda lot of whites," he warned "andthis presages what may happenIn 1971."

During the segregation exper-ience, he continued, the Ku KluxKlan "socked it to the blacks"and crushed the seeds of revolt.According to Barbour, the Klanlynched and castrated 1000 Negromales a year until about 1920.The castration, Barbour main-tained, evidenced the insecurityand guilt feeling of the Southernmale for his sexual violation ofNegro women. He accordingly con-tended that slavery was not a"peculiar institution," as manyhistorians have called it, but thatit was "lascivious and rotten andlustful."

Barbour marked the ghetto'sbirth about 1916, resulting from a"sort of push-pull situation," , in

which the Negro was pushed out ofthe South by the KKK and pulledinto the North by economic pro-mise. Job discrimination, he ob-served, quickly destroyed that pro-mise, and the Negro was forcedinto the ghetto.

Barbour placed the first man-ifestation of Black revolt in Mont-gomery, Alabama in 1955 with thedemonstrations led by MartinLuther King. However, he sawKing as a failure, because hepreaches the Christian doctrineof turning the other cheek, and theNegro has "never seen Whiteyturn the other cheek."

The most powerful weapon thatthe white man has ever had againstthe black man, BarbDur felt, was

songs" as they are called arenot dream songs at all. Ratherthey are episodes in the life ofHenry, who appears to be the ve-hicle for self-scrutiny used bya highly confessional poet.

Besides Henry, Berryman em-ploys other characters, such asone Mr. Bones, to convey otheraspects of his personality. Thecompletely irreverent Berrymanis relentless in his attempt tocreate sensation. He admires theNegroes for their resiliency inthe face of opposition, yet doesnot shun the use of a Negro in-flection which he calls "coontalk."

It is strictly Berryman for Ber-ryman. Effusing Hedonism fromevery pore, he rejects the pastand looks only to contemporan-eous happenings for ideas. He isan analyst of his own dreamsand a worshipper of life. Life

• becomes loud emotion with whichBerryman can fill a room,

Thus will John Berryman come,waving smoke stained fingers andbellowing his poetry throughwhiskey annointed beard. He willcome to us as the poet Ameri-can born and bred singing of thereal world - of the here and NOW.

Speaking for the sponsoringgroup, Minot expressed the pur-pose of the Poetry Center's Poet-In-Residence program as tryingto "enable students to get to knowa poet as a man, in order to getto know his poetry in a morepersonal fashion." This will af-ford the opportunity for the mem-bers of the academic communityto dine and speak with Berrymanin a-relaxed atmosphere,

Berryman, also winner of theLoines Award for Poetry 1964,and the American Academy ofAmerican Poets fellowship for1966, will be guest at a coffeehour at four p.m. on Thursdayin Wean Lounge where he will beaccessible to all for informal con-versation.

JOHN BARBOUR, spokesman for Hartford's Black Caucus-Mili-tant movement, appealed to Whitey for "response in a rationalfashion" to Negro violence, the only effective medium remainingto secure the Black Man's freedom.

the Negro's self-hatred. But thisis all changing, he promised, andthe motto of the Negro today isStokely Carmichael's comment,

."To be black is to be beautiful.""We have started to be what weare," he declared. " We have start-ed being black and proud."

Barbour reiterated his claimthat bloodshed is imminent andadded that the white man is going"to get socked." He added, quotingNevll Shute, that "There is stilltime, brother," and violence canbe avoided if Whitey will listento the Negro.

"Negroes are essentially veryconservative and very American,"he concluded, "and if you can takethe pain and be a strong whiteman and be my brother, then I'llwalk with you."

Burns Assesses Pre-Election Prospects

SrinifySECTIONEDITORIAL

OCTOBER 6, 1967

Through A Gap SlowlyPresident Jacobs' willingness to meet regularly with student

leaders and to utilize student committees is a positive first steptowird averting a "collision course" on many crucial and po-tentially volatile issues. Yet the assurances of free and opencommunication will be for naught unless the dialogue progressesto confront meaningfully proposals of concrete development.

On the question of social facilities students have been givenan opportunity to submit their recommendations through the stu-dent members of the Joint Educational Policy sub-committeebefore its Monday meeting. If students feel a serious commitmentto sharing in policy decisions which will have a permanent ef-fect on the physical and attitudinal posture of the campus, theyare obliged to respond with concrete directives to the studentrepresentatives. A failure to demonstrate concern and conviction:on the question of social accommodations would be a setback forstudent respons ibility.

As a long-range solution to the social problem we favor'theplan outlined by Chaplain Tull at last week's meeting with Dr.-Jacobsonof the Board of Fellows. Tull's proposal would callfor the construction of two student centers which, together withMather Hall, would divide the campus into three social units.'More immediately we recommend that the College begin the con-struction of a social unit on the north or south end of campuswhich could later be integrated with the master plan for a threeunit social system.

Dr. Jacobs has indicated that a two story building on northcampus is being considered by the Trustees to alleviate the so-1

cial problem and he has indicated that only limited funds areavailable; yet at the same time we are told of plans to advanceconstruction on several phases of the George M. Ferris AthleticsCenter. In light of the financial strains of the College and admin-istrators' enthusiasm for the early completion of the athleticscenter, we are greatly concerned both about the structure andcontent—the character—of a prospective social facility under thepresent circumstances. Any building which would not be sub-stantial, at active,, functional and yet comfortable would notprovide an alternative to the fraternity system. ;

Unless it is possible for the College to undertake both build-ing programs simultaneously and with a realistic view of thescope of each project, we urge that construction of the socialfacility be given a clear priority over the athletics center. Whilewe recognize the strain on the athletic facilities because of theloss of Alumni Hall, the strain on the social facilities is greaterand its effects are more disturbing.

The overburden of the athletic department could be signifi-cantly lessened with the reduction of the physical education re-quirement from two years to one. Many of the present "physical"activities (sports appreciation, first aid, etc.) do not fulfill theathletic purpose of the program. ,;.,•

The need for such an extensive athletics complex has neverbeen clear to the student body. To grant priority of the athletics,center over additional, social facilities, we feel, would be adecision in which bureaucratic politics operate to the detrimentof students' welfare.

The athletic requirement, for a time, can be curtailed; thesocial requirement cannot.

Predicts Challenge to LB](Editor's Note: TRIPOD re-porter David Green interviewedWilliams Professor James Mac-Gregor Burns before his Mead

Lecture address Tuesday eve-nine. The text of iheir conver-sation concerning the presentpolitical profile follows.)

TRIPOD: It will be best to startwith the Inevitable question; Howwould you compare the Presidencyof Lyndon Johnson to that of JohnKennedy?

Burns: My main point about LBJand JFK is the continuity of theirPresidencies. The fact is thatpresidents, especially Democraticpresidents operating in a certaindomestic and foreign policy con-text, don't have terribly wide op-tions. I happen to believe, of coursethere is a great deal of contro-versy about this, that PresidentJohnson is following substantiallythe same policy that Kennedy wouldhave followed in Vietnam, althoughthis is a very hypothetical sup-position. So I emphasize the con-tinuity, but the style of the twomen' is very different in very ob-vious ways.

TRIPOD: Would you rate Pres-. ident.. Johnson as more effective

in domestic affairs than his pre-decessor?

Burns: I think that Johnson has

getting such a tremendously lib-eral Congress in 1964. So therehas certainly been a great con-trast, but not for any lack of ef-fort or technique on the part ofPresident Kennedy.

TRIPOD-. What do you feel isthe legacy of John Fitzgerald Ken-

Burns: Excitement, vitality, in-,vplvement, controversy, concernabout a tremendous -variety ofissues. A great many of themnew like the relation of Govern-ment to the Arts, as well as oldissues. I think that is his mainlegacy. He gave us a whole broad-ened impression of the Presidency

TRIPOD: Now that PresidentJohnson has suffered the elec-toral setback of 1966, has his ef-fectiveness been limited? Is itbeing demonstrated that the Pres-ident's power is only as greatas Congress will allow?

Burns: No, because in foreignpolicy the President lias greatpower. He Is constrained by otherfactors — by the hard tonics ofInternational relations, the atti-tudes of other countries, and theapparent determination of Hanoi.But in domestic policy It reallydoes suggest that the differencebetween a vary constructive Pres -ident and a do-less President Isabout 00 liberal Democrats InCongress.

TRIPOD: According to publicopinion polls, President Johnson'spopularity lias fallen to a dismallow. Is It unusual that a Pres i -dent should find himself in dangerof losing his office a year beforeelections?

Burns: It Is not at all unique,I would pay little attention topublic opinion polls; I would hopethat President Johnson is payingvery little attention, I was dis-mayed when he used to play upthe polls back in the good dayswhen they were for him; I wouldbe dismayed if he paid any at-tention to them now. You cannotgovern by public opinion poll, e s -pecially this shifting, transient,amorphous, hazy public opinionthat we have. The only crucialpublic opinion will come next yearin November and that will be de-terminate.

TRIPOD: Will a President asunpopular as Johnson find it dif-ficult to lead Congress? Does Con-gress think it is dealing with a"Lame-Duck" President?

Burns: No. I think they are farmore concerned with Ms poten-tial strength in 1968.

TRIPOD: If Johnson's popular-ity continues. to decline, may hedecide to look for a running mateof greater political appeal thanHumphrey?

-Burns; No, I don't think thatthere is a chance of that. For aPresident to drop his Vice-Pres-ident is a very serious move. Igrant of course that FDR did it,but lor one thing, Humphrey hasbeen a very loyal supporter ofJohnson, and secondly, to drophim would be a confession of weak-ness. ,

TRIPOD; Do you think Johnsonwill encounter serious oppositionat the Convention next year?

Burns: Yes. There will be sig-

nificant opposition Imt not decisive fcopposition. I

TKIPOD: How will It manifest •ttsolf? ;'

Burns: In efforts of anti-John- Ison r,atidl<tat<is and groups to go •Into tho election of delegates In |Presidential Primary States, ;,Thoi*o will be demonstrations and }:

Important figure in the Demo- I,cratlc Party, Senator Robert Ken- [nsdy, He lias declared that he will isupport Johnson next year. Do youthink that Kennedy will feel the jsame way near Convention time? ]

Burns: Yes 1 do.TRIPOD: Beyond 1968, do you

think that Senator Kennedy willseek the Presidential nominationin 1972?

Burns; I would expect so, butdon't forget another Kennedy upin Massachusetts. I think you oughtto figure very much on Ted Ken-nedy as well as Bob Kennedy,

TRIPOD: Do you think that TedKennedy has Presidential quali-fications?

Burns: Yes, I think that EdwardKennedy is more like John Ken-nedy than his brother, and I thinkin a more serious way Just asJohn Kennedy developed later InMs years, this Is also true ofEdward Kennedy, I think he isa man of very great solidity andseriousness of purpose, very pol-icy-minded, and concerned withsome of the less dramatic butvery important long run Issues.So, I would include him in allcalculations.

TRIPOD; After the election of1964, many political scientists de-clared that the .Republican Partywas doomed, but it seems thatit is still very much alive, Doyou believe that either the Dem-ocratic or Republican Party willbecome extinct after being a partol the American political tradi-tion for so long?

Burns: No; not unless there Isa real cataclysm of the natureof i860. In fact, people could savethemselves a great deal of timeif they just didn't read articlesabout the demise of one of themajor parties. I am not sayingthis couldn't happen. Presumablyone day it will, but each of the

Cornell Abandons Parental Role,Students Directly Liable to Law

by David Sarashon

Cornell University has been ad-vised to abandon its policy ofcoming bet ween its students and thepolice, the New York Times re-ported Monday. The recommen-dation to discard the theory that"the university can act as anaway-from-home . parent" camefrom a faculty-student commit-tee headed by Allan P. Sindlerhead of-the Cornell governmentdepartment.

The current Cornell practicewhich is .shared by Trinity is forpolice to call the University afterpicking up a student for a minoroffense, and to turn him over toschool authorities for punishmentThe Cornell report stated that thepractice "retarded the develop-ment of responsibility and matur-ity among students," and that theUniversity's efforts on the stud-

. ent's behalf "unwittingly promotesa disrespect for law."

+ w h t r e ? , O r t a I s o rec°mmendedthat the University stop treatingon-campus acts which violate civilcodes as -disciplinary matters Itcited a solicitation for draftcardburnings held last spring as anexample Under the recommendedpolicy, this would no longer con-cern the University, and would behandled exclusively bjofficials.

Dean of students Roy Heath,while conceding that the measurewas "perhaps necessary in the caseof a large college like Cornell,"saw no reason for the institutionof such a policy at Trinity. Hepointed out that if students ar-rested lived in or near Hartfordthe police would notify their par-ents as a matter of course. "Shouldthe police find that an offender'sparents cannot be reached, theymight be forced into an unwantedand unnecessary prosecution"noted Heath, "and in the case ofa first offense they much preferto have the College deal with it "

The Dean believes that studentsshould be held responsible for theirown actions, and that students

w« mostlegal lapses unintentional, and that"As a human being, I would hate

S ? u S » m y baCk °" an amsted

Assistant Dean of Students Leo-nard Tomat cited a National Asso-ciation of Student Personnel Ad-ministrator's workshop that heattended last spring which dis-cussed this problem, Tomat statedthat the policy of the colleges in-volved was determined by sizegeography, philosophy, and char-acter of the student body In Trin-ity's case, he pointed out that anarrested student who didn't live in

Hartford and who couldn't call theCollege would be forced to hirea lawyer, which could prove cost-ly. If, however, the College willtake the responsibility, a studentmay be released in Its custody,and "some students come to Trin-ity because they and their fam-ilies expect this kind of consid-eration," added Tomat.

He agreed, however, that stud-ents should become more inde-pendent and learn to deal withcivil authorities on their own,promised that the College wouldwatch the Cornell experiment,should it be enacted, with a greatdeal of interest.

Alfred A, Garofolo, College headof security and a former Hart-ford police captain, said that the'College's notification hinges uponthe officer and the offense in-volved, "Legally," he stated, "astudent under the age of twenty-one cannot plead for himself, andthe simplest method is for theDean to be appointed guardian forthe case." He explained that theCollege is the easiest and surestsource of bail, and praised theHartford pollce as "most cooper-ative." An official arrest, he noted,

'stays with the student for the restof his life, and there are timeswhen prompt action involving thepolice department and the schoolcan prevent this consequence,

A.C.T., GuestsTo Offer FoodFor Thought

Trinity students will have theopportunity to get to know visitingpreachers at the Trinity CollegeChapel In a new series of dinnersbegun this fall under the sponsor-ship of the Chapel Committee.Provisions are being made forabout 25 students to join theVesper's Preacher in Hamlin Hallafter the service for a sandwichsupper and coffee. This innova-tion begins this Sunday with theRev. Walter Dennis, Canon ofthe Cathedral of St. John the DivineIn New York City, as the firstguest.

"The preachers are interestingpeople, as well as interestingspeakers," Tull observed, and add-ed that the Chapel Committee hopedthese Sunday night suppers wouldallow students to get to know someof them. Canon Dennis, Tull noted,is very active in Civil Rights andsocial reform legislation in NewYork and promises to be both aninteresting preacher and dinnertime conversationalist.

Persons wishing to join In thedinner need only submit theirnames to the Chapel Office theweek before the service.

two parties has such momentum,not so much in its structure whichis very weak in both parties, but amomentum in terms of attitudesamong the people.

TRIPOD: Are you impressed bythe Republican chances In 1968?Would you care to speculate onwho will receive the Presiden-tial nomination?

Burns: Well, I'm not much of aprophet, of that sort. I'd rathermake these century long pro-phesies. I would just say that along time ago when Rockefellerwas completely written off, I wasarguing that this man should notbe written off; I will stick to thatprediction. But that does notamount to a statement of who willget the nomination. I'd like tothink that political scientists orhistorians have a certain capa-bility, but I don't think that ourcapability lies particularly in thiskind of thing. I think what weshould be good at, or try to begood at, is being able to analysethe long-run kind of thing likeparty development. That I canbe fairly-definite about becauseas political scientists we workon this kind of question. We havea sense of the permanency ofparties.

TRIPOD: Another man who waswritten off, and wrote himself offIn 1962, Richard Nixon, is in thethick of things again. Do you thinkthat he will continue to be adominant figure in the RepublicanParty?

Burns: I guess he will. Therehas been a remarkable resurgenceon his part. There is some qual-ity, some lasting trait of DickNixon that must be plugged intocontemporary American politics.I'm not quite sure what it is.When a man has campaigned foryear after year, he simply hasbuilt up a reservoir of recognition.A lot of this is just that peopleknow who Nixon is. When they lookaown a list on a Public OpinionPoll, they see shadowy figures.M°st people don't know who Rom-nsy iSi or even Rockefeller. Butwen they see Nixon. They recog-nize him - they feel that they knowsomeone. We are learning that even™ n a man goes through the ap-parent debacles Nixon has, he stilln as a lasting personal hold on thePublic.

about 250 (about five dining roomsclustered around a centralkitchen), student lounges varyingin size and formality, and an adja-cent faculty residence.

Noting the similarity of a Trusteeplan for such a facility before theconstruction of North campus,Jacobs explained that the plan hadbeen rejected decisively by thestudent body. Peppin suggestedthat a difference in both the char-acter of the student body at thattime and the social conditionsunder which they lived as a poss-ible reason for its-rejection.

Lucas queried the President aboutthe prospect of quick action on theconstruction of the new social fac-ility. Jacobs pointed out the im-mediate need of the athletic de-partment for additional facilitiesbecause of the loss of Alumni Hall.He mentioned that college officialswere examining the possibility ofadvancing the construction date ofthree phases of the athletic com-plex. Lucas countered that per-haps the athletic program could becurtailed to one year- of require-ment and alleviate the strain forseveral years while a social fac-ility could be erected. The Pres-ident again stressed the import-ance of the athletic facility. Heurged, however, that any recom-mendations be channeled throughthe students (Dennis Farber '68,Carl Luty '70, and Stuart Edelman•68) on the sub-committee of JointEducational Policy which will meetwith faculty, administrators, andTrustee members on Monday.

As discussion moved to parietalhours, Pippin warned that, fromthe student point of view, it was themost "explosive issue" on campus.

Senate President Miles noted theabnormal "dating patterns" whichcharacterize the Trinity man andobjected to the dichotomy betweenthe often extreme weekend social-izing and the barren weekdays.

He felt parietal hours during theweek would alleviate the situation.Pippin explained that many Sen-ators consider any limitations onsocial hours unjustified and askedthe President how the Trusteesmight react to a request for week'day parietals. Citing the reluc-tance with which the Trusteesgranted the existing visiting hours,Jacobs cautioned that the questionof parietals had to be handledwith extreme care. The Senatorsvolunteered to submit a detailedreport on the rationale for weekdaysocial hours to the President andthe Trustees.

In the interest of more realisticcommunication between Senate andTrustees, Pippin suggested ameeting of the two groups withfull decision making powers to beavailable as each Issue was dis-cussed. Jacobs did not think theplan feasible but was encouragingto Heath's idea of establish-ing a Trustee committee on stu-dent life to parallel the exist-ing student committee. The Pres-ident also favored a motion tomeet regularly with the groupand scheduled October 16 as thenext date.

TRIPOD: IS the Right Wing stilla major force in the RepublicanParty?

Burns: The Conservative Partyhas structure, it has continuity,it has some depth in the country,so my answer is a very positiveyes. It's a continuing force.

TRIPOD: Within a decade, theage of the average voter will bemuch younger than it is now. Willthis, have a significant effect onpolitics?

Burns: I think it will make forsomewhat greater volatility inthepublic, a greater tendency towardshifting- public opinion. But I don'tthink there is going to be anypermanent change. These people,too, will become old and square.I'm a great believer in loweringthe voting age to 18 partly becauseI believe that the period of 18,19, and 20 years old is when peo-ple are very interested in poli-tics. • ' . •

New Teletype Creates Loan SystemFor Conn. Valley College Libraries

A recent Federal grant tothe State Library in Hartford hascreated an extensive teletype sys-tem which links the Trinity, Yale,Wesleyan, UConn and ConnecticutCollege for Women libraries withpublic libraries In Hartford, NewHaven, Brdigeport, Stamford, andGreenwich.

The grant stipulated that theteletype link be used "to betterserve the needs of those usingthese libraries and to coordinatethe work of these libraries."

Donald B. Engley, the collegelibrarian, saw the system as ameans to conserve library funds."If an out-of-print book is need-ed," he remarked, "the teletypelink can locate the book in anotherlibrary rather than forcing the

Burns considers the most liberalCongress since FDR's second NewDeal administration. Burns alsonoticed a "very interesting rea-lignment of the party system." AllDemocrats, plus liberal Repub-licans, according to Burns, squar-ed off against the conservatives,thus giving Johnson a decided ma-jority for passing his measures.

However, after the off-yearelection, the U.S. reverted to itsfamiliar deadlock situation, andcontends Burns, the conservativestook back many of the seats thathad been occupied by the liberals.

Nevertheless, Burns viewed thecurrent deadlock only as tempor-ary, predicting a return to acti-vist government. As an indicationof this hypothesis, he cited theincreasing power of the President.In recent years, he explained, theChief Executive has "managedsomehow to absorb great coun-tervailing forces" which tradi-tionally acted against him. Burnspointed to the strong party lead-ership that the President now en-joys. Burns foresees even theCongress becoming a"buttress"tothe President, rather than an op-position.

The speaker voiced his respectfor the British system of govern-ment, where parties oppose oneanother and don't look for con-sensus. Burns stressed the im-portance of an opposition party,and labeled a government whichtries to get all different sides to-gether as "dangerous,"

He therefore saw peril in apowerful executive, because inher-ent in such a system would be asubmerged opposition, the resultof attempts at consensus. He re -emphasized his belief that thefuture will bring a stronger ex-ecutive and less deadlock, withboth advantages and disadvantages.He himself hoped for a majority,activist executive.

Looking to the 1968 election,Burns foresaw a repetition ofevents in 1960. He saw little chance"for either one of the major par-ties to bring in a strong, support-ing Congress." Consequently,deadlock will continue through thenext administration.

Burns noted an active politicalfuture because the American peo-ple are now beginning to performwhat he termed "neglected tasks."He felt that the long-run impactof reapportionment and urbaniza-tion will bring about "the conver-gence of presidential and congres-sional constituencies" and willweaken interest groups. He alsostated that the increased emphasison political unrest and social prob-lems by the mass media has cre-ated a sympathetic understandingwhich "will sow a very rich har-vest of national concern in theyears ahead." This national con-cern, Burns concluded, though un-predictable five years ago, maynow be the strongest anti-dead-lock force.

college to buy the book." He statedthat books in print and periodicalswill normally be purchased by thelibrary rather than resorting tothe loan system.

A book lending system had al-ready been established betweenlibraries. In the past, however,requests for books or book col-lections were handled by mailand took several days to reachneighboring libraries. The tele-type system permits immediateresponse for requests; materialcan be mailed minutes after therequest is received.

Engley also believed that theteletype will help alleviate theproblem of quickly replacing per-iodicals and books that have beenlost or stolen. In the past, stu-

dents had to wait several weeksbefore the library located a re-"placement for missing books. Nowthe library can send a request via

.the teletype and receive neededmaterial the same day.

According to Engley, this linkhas already proven successful,especially between the Collegelibrary and Yale's Sterling library.Yale has the second largest uni-versity library in the country, andthe fourth largest library in thenation next to the Library of Con-gress, Harvard, and the New YorkPublic Library. Engley noted thatYale is anxious to extend the useof its facilities beyond the univer-sity and has always cooperated withthe College.

• "Everybody's saying the bisproblem with Trinity's soccerteam this year is that we've lostso many guys," Gibby began, pres-sing himself against a row oflockers to let Williams bumppast. "Thank God," he said.

Though three weeks of practiceare past, it's a still shaky soccerclub that will meet MIT in Cam-bridge tomorrow.

Gone from Coach Roy Dath'sstarting line-up are, seven oflast fall's top starters - men likeprevious Captain Ted Hut ton andoutside right Spires Polemis, whopushed the Bantams to a 6-3 re-cord,- dropping only the three"Little Three" matches.

Yet, though the coach is makingno predictions on tomorrow'sopener, the general outlook forthe season is good. Dath hastwelve returning' lettermen anda matrix ol strong sophomores.

The main strength of the teamshould be. in its shooting but- inpre-season scrimmages the of-fense has been sloppy and has tend-ed to shoot high. •

"This is an explosive team,"Dath explained, "but they have tolearn to' let the ball go - to shootfrom a distance when they havethe chance and not always try toget close."

The problem does not appear tobe in the talent, he emphasteed,but rather in the coordination,"The key to 'the team is up themiddle and, if the defense holds,there will be nothing wrong withour season,"

Leading that middle for CoachDath are Mike "Stump" Center,the club's captain and last year'sleading scorer, Sam "Moves" El-kin and two sophomores, a previousfrosh captain Peter Wiles, and AlanGibby., Dath explained his plan to use a

new 4-2-4 offensive pattern whichshould make better use ofTrinity's especially quick offense.He further explained that, if theother team is not pressing, more •men will go forward in a 2-3-5plan. Either effort should aid theailing Bantam defense.
