Dear Editor: An alumnus of Trinity College who is also a member of Alpha D elta Phi, brought to my attention an error in your article on St. Anthony Hall in Vol. 16, No. 2. St. Anthony H all is not the oldest fraternity house in the country still in use for its original purpose. The Alpha Delta Phi Lodge at Kenyon College was built as a Fraternity meeting hall in 1860 and holds that honor. As The H all and its building are distinguished in their own right, they need not claim an honor to which they are not entitled. Sincerely yours, Robert S. Price K'SS

Clement Chemistry Building

CLEMENT CELEBRATES

50TH BIRTHDAY The years of the Great Depression were, ironically, prosperous ones for the College. According to The History of Trinity College by Glenn Weaver, at Trinity faculty salaries doubled, the endowment was increased, and numerous improvements were made on the College grounds. Most "visible" of these, according to Weaver, was a "series of splendid buildings which was erected during these years." Clement Chemistry Building was among those. Dedicated in 1936, the building on its completion was considered a model of its type, frequently visited, Weaver says, by representatives of other colleges planning similar facilities. The new building was badly needed. The History of Trinity College notes: "The Chemistry Department was crowded into the basement of Jarvis Physics Laboratory, and Professor Vernon Krieble, head of the Department of Chemistry, made his point by converting an abandoned coal bin into an auxiliary labora-

tory." According to Weaver, Professor Krieble resolved to raise funds for a building and turned to Martin W. Clement '01 for assistance. The two raised the necessary amount, construction on the building began in 1934 and was completed in 1936. The building was named for Clement in 1963, after his retirement from the Board ofTrustees, and the auditorium was named, the same year, for Vernon K. Krieble. This fall the 50th anniversary of the dedication of Clement Chemistry Building is being celebrated, along with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Connecticut Valley Section of the American Chemical Society. The anniversary celebration is taking place October 31-November 1, Homecoming weekend, and the celebration's coordinator, Ralph Moyer, associate professor of chemistry and department chair, hopes that many former chemistry majors will return for the events. "It's sort of a birthday party for us," he notes, "and we hope many of our alumni will join us in the celebration. We have a fine program with national

speakers, but the celebration is also small enough to allow everyone to feel part of it." Friday evening a reception and dinner will open the celebration. On Saturday, November 1, there will be a series of public talks by leaders in the field of chemistry and a luncheon, at which the first award to an outstanding member of the American Chemical Society will be made. Saturday's program begins with registration and welcome at 9:00a.m., followed by the first lecture, "Educating Scientists in the Colleges - A Look through a Cloudy Crystal Ball," by Dr. R. Scott Pyron, regional director, grants, Research Corporation. Next, Fred Basolo, Morrison Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University and former president of the American Chemical Society, will speak on "Opportunities in Chemistry." Following the luncheon, Ronald I. Perkins, chemistry teacher, Greenwich High School, will offer a chemical demonstration which he has entitled, "I intend to instruct you in a science full of interest, wonder and


Along the Walk Along the Walk Along the Walk Along the Walk beauty," (1848-Scoffern). The day's events will close with a panel discussion on "Industrial Chemistry in the Connecticut Valley," featuring representatives from chemical industries. More information mav be obtained by calling Ralph Moyer, (203) 527-3151, ext. 328. Reservations for the Friday dinner and Saturday luncheon may be made through Mrs. Maureen Mylott, chemistry department secretary, ext. 323.

BAYEUX TAPESTRY SYMPOSIUM SET New scholarship on the Bayeux Tapestry will be examined in a symposium this fall at Trinity on the 11th century art treasure, which is also a historic document nearly contemporary with the conquest of England in 1066 by William the Conqueror. Co-sponsored by T rinity and the Connecticut Humanities Council, the symposium, "The Bayeux Tapestry: New Light on a Medieval Masterpiece," will be held on Saturday, November 15, in the Austin Arts Center at Trinity. J. Bard McNulty, James J. Goodwin Professor of English emeritus, who is coordinating the symposium, has conducted extensive scholarly research on the Tapestry and has a book on its narrative art scheduled for publication next year. Aided by a grant from the Connecticut Humanities Council, he recently researched and produced two half-hour videotape programs for Connecticut high school students on the historical, artistic and literary significance of the Tapestry's account of the Norman Conquest. The Tapestry was made about 1077, some 11 years after the Conquest, by persons who had witnessed events shown in its main panels

and borders. At the symposium, McNulty will give an illustrated lecture, "The Extraordinary Narrative Art of the Bayeux Tapestry Master." Mary Elva Erf, embroiderer, author, lecturer, and teacher of embroidery, will speak on "Ancient Dyes, Medieval Stitches, and Spun Threads of the Bayeux Tapestry." Professor David J. Bernstein of Sarah Lawrence College will give a talk on "The Englishness of the Bayeux Tapestry." Bernstein's new book, The Mystery of the Bayeux Tapestry, explains many of the hitherto puzzling aspects of the Tapestry. A luncheon on campus will follow the morning talks. Registration for the symposium is $7; further information may be obtained by calling the Office of Special Programs at Trinity, (203) 527-3151, ext. 317 or 321.

ANNUAL FUND DRIVE UNDERWAY Jason M. Elsas '58 is heading up a team of volunteer leaders for the $1,755,000 Annual Fund drive now under way. The goals for the four components of the Annual Fund are: Alumni Fund, $1,200,000; Parents Fund, $215,000; Friends Fund, $120,000; and Business and Industry Associates, $220,000. Elsas will be assisted by Alumni Fund chairman Robert E. Brickley '67, and Albert L. Smith; Jr. '54, alumni chairman for The President's Circle and The Founders Society solicitations.

HYLAND CONDUCTS NEHSEMINAR Fifteen secondary school teachers from around the country attended a six-week seminar on 19th century philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche that was held at Trinity last summer. The seminar was conducted by Drew A. Hyland, Charles A. Dana Professor of Philosophy, who was awarded aNational Endowment for the Humanities grant for th e seminar titled "The Nature of the Individual in Nietzsche." During the seminar sessions, Hyland used the works of Nietzsche to explore concepts of the individual and their ramifications for politics, religion, literature and the arts. A specialist in Greek and continental philosophy, Hyland is the author of three books: "The Origins of Philosophy," "The Virtue of Philosophy: An Interpretation of Plato's 'Charmides,' " and "The Question of Play."

"The whole purpose was to give teachers a feeling of love for education and learning," said Kim Schaupp, a math teacher from San Jose, California. Another participant was Kate Long, who teaches Western civilization i~ Moline, Illinois. "It's been a wonderful educational experience, much better than any class I've taken," she said. Paul Schlickmann, a high school teacher from Athol, Massachusetts, whose two sons are undergraduates at Trinity, said it was refreshing to experience some of what T rinity has to offer his sons. Last summer, more than 3,000 teachers nationwide participated in 181 seminars and institutes that were supported by more than $14 million in NEH grants. T he seminar participants were competitively chosen by the NEH from among the nation's best teacher-scholars at academic institutions. The intensive summer programs are designed to invigorate humanities teachers and humanities instruction from primary grades through college and university level.

HOLLAND SCHOLARS DESIGNATED

6

Top-ranked scholars from the senior, junior and sophomore classes have been awarded Holland Scholarships for 198687. Established in 1891, these full-tuition awards are funded from a bequest by Mrs. Francis J. Holland, daughter of Bishop Thomas Brownell, the founder ofTrinity College. This year's recipients are all from Connecticut: Paul R. Morico '87 of New Haven; Constantine G. Andrews '88 of Newington; and Stanislaus F. Whittlesey '89 of West Hartford. Morico, who is majoring in mathematics and engineering, has been on the faculty honors list since his freshman year, and received the Physics Prize as a soph omore. He is a 1983 graduate of Notre Dame High School in West Haven. Andrews is a Capital Area Scholar who entered Trinity in the highly selective Guided Studies Program. An economics major, he has earned faculty honors since matriculating. He is a 1984 graduate of Newington High School. Whittlesey, a prospective biology major, received the Chemical Rubber Company Award for outstanding achievement in chemistry as a freshman . He is a 1985 graduate of William H. Hall High School in West H artford.

CAPITAL AREA SCHOLARS NAMED Five members of the C lass of 1990 have been awarded Capital Area Scholarships to attend Trinity next fall. The scholarships, which have been granted annually since 1959, provide grant assistance to the full extent of a student's need to outstanding Trinity applicants from the greater Hartford region. Since 1982, the program has been supported by corporations in the Capital area. There will be 25 Capital Area Scholars enrolled at Trinity this year. The new scholars are: F. Bruce Cor-

Book Returns for Reunion You might feel guilt about an overdue library book. But take the case ofJohn G. Hanna '36 of Portland, Maine who took a book from the Trinity Library home with him when he graduated 50 years ago. Hanna, who is now a professor emeritus of English at the University of Southern Maine, was inducted June 12 into the Half Century Club for those who graduated 50 years ago or more from Trinity. Before he attended the induction dinner, though, Hanna wanted to relieve some guilt. He returned Putnam's Word Book to the College with a generous check to cover the fine. In a letter, H anna explained that the mini-thesaurus had for the past 50 years been his sole addiction: "Back in 1936 I was really into it, hung up, obsessed, fascinated, bewitched, enchanted, captivated, charmed, enamored, infatuated, entranced, enraptured, enravished. This little volume opened up endless vistas of synonyms, antonyms, and associated words. As an English major with writer's itch I was astonished, bewildered, blinded, dazed, dazzled, ultimately overpowered by the exactness and variety of the mother tongue - on one hand, its precision, accuracy, strictness, correctness, and scrupulousness; on the other, its diversity, multiplicity, complexity, profusion, luxuriance, fecundity, and downright opulence. Even now, though you'd hardly notice it, I can't kick the Putnam's Word Book habit. Perhaps by returning it to its rightful place on Trinity's library shelves, I can in some measure relieve, assuage, alleviate, allay, lessen, remedy, ease, mitigate, palliate, succor, extricate, disentangle, disburden, redress- alas! wh at can I do to make amends?" Librarian Ralph Emerick said the 50-year overdue charge probably would amount to about $8, with $3 for the book itself and $5 for processing. Hanna's ch eck more th an covered that amount. President James F. English, Jr. was so impressed with Hanna's honesty that he gave the book back to Hanna at the Half Century dinner. H anna was deeply touch ed. "English professors are notorious windbags," he said, "but on this occasion, I am at a loss for words."

Stubbs, Northwest Catholic High School, West Hartford; and Dawn M. Williams, Hall High School, West Hartford. 路 Twenty-five additional incoming freshmen who are residents of the Capital region will be receiving financial aid from other Trinity sources next fall.

STUDENTS ELECT NEW OFFICERS Tyler Vartenigian and Nani Marchand have been elected president and vice president, respectively, of the Student Government Association (SGA) in campus-wide elections. Vartenigian, a senior from Norwich, CT, received 43 percent of the vote in which nearly 1,000 students cast ballots. An English major, he has been on the crew and baseball team, served as a dormitory representative, food service chairman, and on the housing committee and the athletic advisory council. He is a member of Alpha Chi Rho. Marchand, who is from Guaynabo,

Puerto Rico, is a senior majoring in political science. She has been a Big Sister, a resident assistant, a dormitory representative, and chairwoman of the Committee on Minority Enrollment. She also served on the Committee on Academic Aff~irs and as a member of the President's Council on Minority Affairs. Both successful candidates ran on a platform of strengthening student government and making its actions more visible to both the student body and the administration.

ILLINOIS SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED TO FOUR Four members of the Class of 1990 have been awarded Illinois Scholarships to attend Trinity this fall. A private fund, Scholarships for Illinois Residents, Inc., has enabled approximately 260 state students to study at Trinity since the fund was established in 1948. The scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need and personal merit. The new Illinois Scholars are: David A. Copland of Evanston (Evanston Township High School), Danita]. Davis

of Springfield (Springfield Southeast High School), Daniel Ortega of Chicago (Lane Technical High School), and Andrew B. Pottenger of DeKalb (DeKalb High School).

$120,000 GRANTED FOR SCIENCE EQUIPMENTS Trinity has met the terms of a challenge grant made by the Ira W. DeCamp Foundation for the purchase of $120,000 in scientific equipment for the Biology Department. The DeCamp Foundation awarded Trinity $50,000 contingent upon the College raising an additional $70,000 from other sources for the equipment. The funds needed to meet the challenge came from the Atlantic Richfield Foundation of Los Angeles, which gave $25,000, the Amoco Foundation of Chicago, which contributed $15,000, and other private sources. The DeCamp Foundation of New York was established in 197 5 and supports health care organizations, medical research and medical education.

Sports FALL PREVIEW===::==:==:==:=====: This fall could begin a banner year for Trinity's teams. T ogether, the football, field hockey, men's and women's soccer, women's tennis, cross country, and volleyball teams lost only twenty players to graduation. With such a tremendous number of letter winners returning, Trinity foes should be wary. The football team graduated only eight players, but four of those were on the offensive line. Thus, the success of coach Don Miller's team lies in the capable, but inexperienced, hands of projected offensive linemen Dave Caputo, John Morrissey, Dave Hutchinson, Sean McHugh, and Tom Kokonowski. Despite their 5-3 record in 1985, the Bantams were outscored 211 to 173. Although the offense averaged a

remarkable 21.6 points per game, the injury-riddled defense gave up an average of 26.3 points per game. If the offensive line jells, the pass-happy offense should once again rack up the points. The entire backfield returns, including co-captain Dan Tighe who did a fine job replacing Joe Shield last year as quarterback. Tighe's favorite receiver is Don Fronzaglia who made 36 c~tches last year. Also in Tighe's sights will be tight end Rod Boggs and wingback Rich Nagy. The defense loses only two players, but both were on the defensive line. Linebackers, John Montgomery and Jeff Usewick, are back, however, and should plug any holes left by the linemen. Also back is the entire defensive backfield led by co-captain Kevin Smith and Mike DeLucia. Field hockey has won two consecutive NIAC champi(Continued on page 24)

l&sponses to 'Ierrorism Does dealing with terrorists require a "new morality?" By Clyde D. McKee, Sr.

ast April 14th our military used its most advanced technology and strategy to guide England-based Air Force and carrier-based Navy aircraft in their delivery of 60 tons of bombs on Tripoli and Benghazi. Within hours all of England's television stations were repeatedly showing film clips of bandaged children and telling millions of viewers that President Reagan had attacked Libya's Colonel Moammar Gadafy's home, killed his 18-month old daughter, seriously injured his two sons, and shell-shocked his wife. Also depicted was the bomb damage done to the French embassy and the Swiss Ambassador's home. Facts were later to reveal that the United States had just completed a highly successful military mission that involved planes flying 2,800 nautical miles, refueling in mid-air, and attacking carefully defined military targets, in a 12-minute raid executed so precisely that not a single enemy plane got off the ground. As one of England's television viewers of the raid, I did not see the damage done to the jets and helicopters, and to the communications center that has been base for terrorist activities throughout the world. Nor did I see or hear President Reagan's justification for the attack or hear White House Spokesman Larry Speakes link this raid to the 938 people killed in terrorist attacks during 1985 - the people killed by terrorists in the Rome and Vienna airports, or the Libyan-supported blast in the Berlin disco, which killed an American serviceman and injured 230 others, 79 of them Americans. There was also no mention on England's television stations of Colonel Gadafy's 1981 attempt to send hit squads to assassinate President Reagan and other top U.S. officials. What I did see, as a viewer living on the campus of the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, were Libyans demonstrating in the streets ofTripoli, holding high and kissing large pictures of Gadafy, shaking their fists, and shouting "death for all Americans." Although the U.S. had achieved its military objectives, it had lost the propaganda war for the hearts and minds of many of our oldest and closest allies. Surveys of public sentiments following the Libyan raid revealed sharp contrasts between American and British perceptions. Seventy-one percent of the Americans in the United States expressed approval of the attack, 20 percent disapproved, and 9 percent were uncertain. Fifty-six percent believed the bombing on Libya would help stop terrorist attacks on Americans, 33 percent disagreed, and 11 percent were uncertain. In Britain, 66 percent believed President Reagan was

wrong in ordering the attack, 29 percent thought it was right, and 5 percent had no opinion. Eighty-four percent of the Britons believed the bombing would increase the likelihood of terrorist attacks on Britain, only 4 percent that it would decrease attacks, and 12 percent were uncertain. Seventy-one percent of the Britons disapproved Prime Minister Thatcher's granting permission for American planes to take off from and return to English bases. Similar surveys in France showed more opposed to the raid than in favor, in spite of the fact the French had suffered some recent terrorist attacks in Paris and former President Valery Giscard d'Estaing had stated that he approved the American action in Libya. While these figures probably reflect public attitudes based on what viewers saw and heard through the media, they also indicate something more fundamental. The British and other Europeans have very different interests, experiences, values, and fears from Americans. It is important for us to try to understand these differences. Political terrorism raises for scrutiny fundamental issues about the basic objectives of government, the extent of responsibility of the heads of state to pursue these objectives, priorities in the allocation of public and private resources, and the legitimacy of methods for resolving conflicts. Before these issues can be addressed and the reasons for the United States versus European policy cleavages understood, there is a need to review the scope and pattern of terrorist activities during the past decade. In this review, we should be aware that, as terrorist events become more commonplace, there is a natural tendency for us to become increasingly insensitive to their tragic consequences for victims and the policy implications for world peace. According to the Rand Corporation, which has hosted five international conferences and published numerous reports on this problem, the first three years of the 1980s saw an.annual increase in international terrorism of approximately 30 percent - twice the rate of the 1970s. Until this past year, the bloodiest year was 1983 when terrorists' actions cost 720 people their lives and injured 963 others. Car bombs killed more than 500 persons and injured 963 others. The truck bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, which killed 241 people, was the deadliest single terrorist attack in history. Last year was a terror-packed period. In September, Moslem extremist kidnappers released Rev. Benjamin Weir after 16 months of captivity in Lebanon. They said this act was a warning that they were prepared to

kidnap and possibly execute more Americans if there were no response to their demand for the release of 17 terrorists imprisoned in Kuwait. The next month four Palestinians hijacked the Italian cruise liner Achille Lauro and held more than 400 passengers and crew members hostage. One American was killed. The hijackers demanded the release of 50 Palestinian guerrlllas held in Israeli prisons. During November, Americans witnessed via television a terrorist drama that culminated in the death of 60 people in Malta. Before the Egyptian commandos stormed the hijacked EgyptAir jetliner with gunfire and

explosives, the terrorists had shot and killed an Ameri. can woman and attempted to execute two Americans and two Israelis. These deaths occurred without any political demands being made. The year ended with the simultaneous attacks on Israel's El Al national airline in Rome and Vienna, where 20 travelers and four terrorists lost their lives. Before the attack on Libya this year a bomb was exploded on TWA Flight 840 traveling to Athens. Four passengers, all Americans, were killed. Following the Berlin disco bombing, the White House said that the United States had uncovered more than 30 Libyan-

sponsored plots to attack U.S. embassies and kill our diplomats. Gadafy was accused of having a "master plan" for terrorism. It was the discovery of this plan which motivated the deployment of a U.S. Navy task force into Libya's Gulf of Sidra. When Gadafy's forces fired missiles at the U.S. warplanes, these aircraft launched their own missiles, which destroyed a SAM-5 missile battery and four Libyan patrol boats. Given a decade of escalating terrorist activities in which hundreds of Europeans have also lost their lives and suffered property damage, why were the British so opposed to the U.S. strike? Initially, there was certainly the bias of the media in reporting only what the Libyans wanted. Next, we must understand that the British are a very proud people, who deeply resent the presence of U.S. nuclear weapons and war planes because they made England a prime target in the event of nuclear war. Several of my British friends spoke of their country as a "fixed U.S. aircraft carrier" and "the 51st American state." They did not like their "Iron Lady" being instructed by "Rambo" Reagan. Furthermore, the physical danger for the British, other Europeans, and Americans in Libya was significantly different. There were an estimated 1,000 Americans working there, but they tended to be single or

without their families. In any case, under American law all were there illegally. Such was not the case with the 5,000 Britains and the 40-50,000 other Europeans residing in Libya. Perhaps even more important are the extensive economic ties between Europeans and the Libyans. While the U.S. has relatively little to lose in oil supplies, the British, Irish, and our other allies have much to lose. At the time of the attack Britain had about 83 companies operating in Libya. For example, British Caledonian, which flew three times per week between London and Tripoli, had to lay off nearly 1,000 employees following the raid. An even better example involves Irish cattle merchants. During the past ten years Libyans have taken a million cattle from Ireland, which represents approximately 600 million pounds' income to Irish farmers. While the British House of Commons debated England's cooperation in the raid, a ship was being loaded in Dublin with over 1,000 tons of beef, worth two million pounds, for consumption by Libyans. Perhaps the foremost reason for the British and allied opposition to the strike was fear of retaliatory political terror in their own countries. Although about one-third of all terrorist victims have been Americans, we have had very few terrorist attacks in the United States.

For the British, political terror is more immediate. Following the American attack, Arab extremists in Beirut killed three British hostages, kidnapped a journalist, and attacked the residence of the British Ambassador with rockets. In London an Arab terrorist secretly planted a time bomb in the baggage of his pregnant Irish girl friend, planning to use her as a human timebomb to kill more than 400 passengers on an El AI flight from London to Tel Aviv. This bomb was timed to go off after the Boeing 747 was in the sky over the heavily populated residential area of eastern London. Fortunately the bomb was discovered in an Israeli security check after it had slipped through the routine British luggage inspection. British problems with the IRA are well known. Since 1973 the English have had to deal with Libya's support of this terrorist organization. In addition to training members of the IRA in the making of remote-controlled and radio-controlled devices using micro-electronics to set off explosions, Libyan agents have given the IRA an estimated two million pounds in cash through representatives of the Libyan People's Bureaus. Last May a London jury was told during the trial of Patrick Magee that this terrorist and others on trial had planned to explode 16 time bombs in London and


coastal resorts between July 19 and August 5 of 1985. One of these bombs was discovered in a hotel located near Buckingham Palace. It is ironic that Americans fear going to England now when security forces are especially skilled and vigilant, while the greatest real dangers existed last year during the peak of the tourist season. As British critics have observed, the raids on Libya raised very serious legal and moral questions, which need to be carefully considered. Did President Reagan have legal authority to send American ships into the Gulf of Sidra? Editors of the Daily Telegraph took the position that Gadafy had no basis in international law to construct a "line of death" across international waters and that the United States as a responsible world power had a right and responsibility to challenge this pretense. Also, these editors judged that the United States was entirely within its rights in retaliating when fired upon. Was the bombing ofTripoli and Benghazi sanctioned by international law? President Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher argued that this raid was authorized under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which makes express reference to "collective self-defence." This principle of self-defense has been legitimate since Daniel Webster used it successfully in the 1837 case of Steamer Caroline, but British legal scholars questioned its application in this situation. Was the raid on Libya retribution rather than selfdefense? During his campaign for President in 1980, Ronald Reagan promised that under his administration terrorism would be met with "swift and effective retribution." But this course of action, no matter how good it might be as a campaign device, is not authorized by the Charter of the United Nations. Quite the contrary, Article 2(4) denies it. What about President Reagan's veiled attempt to kill Colonel Gadafy? In 1976 President Ford issued an executive order designed to check assassination attempts by the members of the Central Intelligence Agency. Under this directive it is illegal for the United States to purposely target a world leader. Both President Carter and President Reagan reaffirmed this ban. But there is evidence that the attack on the Tripoli communications center was designed, in part, to kill Gadafy just as the Israeli attack on the personal headquarters of Y asser Arafat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, in Tunisia was designed to kill him. Although 70 people lost their lives in this raid, Arafat, like Gadafy, escaped unharmed. If President Reagan wants to have members of his administration obey the law, he should not violate his own legal requirements. Should the United States support the United Nations and recognize the authority of the World Court in matters of political terrorism? This past June the World Court ruled that U.S. support for Nicaraguan rebels was illegal and our country should pay reparations. This court has no power to enforce its decision; still the U.S. said it does not recognize the Court's jurisdiction in this case. In late July the Security Council of the United Nations voted 11-1 in favor of compliance with the World Court to stop aid to the Nicaraguan rebels. Because we have absolute veto authority on the Security Council, our one negative vote invalidated a resolution

calling on all countries "to refrain from carrying out, supporting, or promoting political, economic, or military actions of any kind against any state of the region." In opposing the resolution, we also invalidated that part of the resolution which stressed "the obligation of all states to seek a solution to their disputes by peaceful means in accordance with international law." Rejection by our government of the authority and jurisdiction of the World Court is disquieting to those who believe in government by law rather than rule by whim. A review of U.S. policy in counterterrorist activities reveals that President Reagan has been following traditional American custom in ordering Navy pilots not to fire until fired upon. Also, rather than hitting Libya's oil fields and destroying this country's economy, creating widespread poverty and hardship, he restricted his targets to carefully selected military objectives, keeping the death toll as low as possible. To understand and evaluate President Reagan's policy directives we must go to the rules of the just war doctrine created by Saint Thomas Aquinas, a 13th-century Italian Dominican priest. Aquinas said that before any violent action can be initiated we must ask and answer these questions: First, is there a just cause or basis for the proposed violence? Second, will the king (head of state) personally authorize and take responsibility for the action? Third, will the attack take place only after a formal announcement and declaration of war? Fourth, will limited force be used, only as much as is needed to accomplish the objective? Fifth, will the targeted enemy be limited to combatants and civilians spared? All these questions must be answered affirmatively before hostilities can be initiated. These rules were universally recognized for hundreds of years by both heads of state and professional military leaders. But starting with England's Henry VIII, the policy has been eroded by an increasing number of violations. Terrorists now select totally innocent noncombatants - some in wheel chairs, others in night clubs, on crowded streets, and on civilian planes - to kill without just cause, without authority of a head of state, and without a declaration of war. Terrorists frequently try to maximize rather than limit the casualties. The United States is being advised by Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, to abandon traditional moral practices and to adopt a "new morality" based on self-interest, ends justifying the means, probabilities for success, and tit-for-tat destruction of life and property. Our responses to political terrorism have already pulled us dangerously away from the fundamental principles of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, the Charter of the United Nations, international law, and traditional principles of morality. The risks inherent in this trend are great. There is a need for a new commitment to international policies based on a new code supported by reason, justice, law, and the realities of modern technology. Without such a code we are on a path leading us to a point where we and our political terrorist enemies may be indistinguishable. Professor Clyde D. M cKee, Sr. is a professor of political science at T rin ity. He is a frequent radio and television commentator on terrorist events. This past spring he spent five months in England, where, in addition to studying the English court system, he observed the British response to the A merican raid on Libya.

Impressions of Trinity

INTERPRETER An Wei walks at right of Henry Kissinger during visit to Xian.

A Chinese scholar compares education in the U.S. and China. By An Wei

An Wei came to Trinity in the fall of 1985 as a Scholar-in-Residence for the academic year.

In China, he ordinarily works as an interpreter in the Foreign Affairs Office of the People's Government of Shaanxi Province and in this capacity, he has served as host to Jimmy Carter, Edward Heath, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, Henry Kissinger, and other prominent visitors to the ancient city of Xian. At Trinity, An Wei continued work assembling, editing, and translating documents on the Yanan years collected by Helen Foster Snow. He

also found time to take a course in children's literature offered by the English Department (at home An Wei was the translator of Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web), and gave frequent lectures and informal talks on China. Many members of the student body and faculty came to know An Wei well during his time at Trinity; he is a vital and energetic person and the College's life was enriched by his presence on campus. In this article, he compares American and Chinese higher education and reflects on what China and America can learn from each other. -Prof. Michael Lestz

ne of the things that impressed me most upon coming to Trinity in the fall of 1985 was the College's open curriculum. The idea of the students being able to select the courses that intrigue them and thus create a curricular program that reflects their own interests and view of their futures struck me as an excellent way of organizing the four college years. In China, a student's major is already decided by the time of enrollment; individual volition has very little role to play. A national entrance examination, held in the final high school year, is the key datum upon which a student's future course in the university, college, or technical school is based; only limited consideration of personal wishes is permitted. In addition, within each field of specialization, be it history, physics, or Chinese music, the curriculum is basically the same throughout the country. The pace of study, the books used, and the content of the courses is fixed by the Ministry of Education in Beijing, and neither the student, nor for that matter the profe_ssor, has the chance to make alterations in individual courses or in the slate of courses that a student must complete to receive a degree in his or her field. This means that it is sometimes necessary for students in our universities to study subjects'they are only marginally interested in learning about and sometimes to do whole majors in areas they would not choose. To resolve this problem, in the freshman year, when students have just entered the university, there is at least one week of ideological education to establish a correct approach toward their fields of study. This program is designed to help students overcome feelings of resistance they may have toward the profession they have been selected to study and, in the years after graduation, work within. For example, a student selected to study Russian might feel no inclination either to master the language or to work as a Russian interpreter or translator. The students learn through this program to value the field they will enter and to understand its worth in the context of our nation's life. For the vast majority of students, this form of "ideological education" is a success. They develop a healthy orientation toward their major fields which allows them to work enthusiastically to master whatever the body of knowledge is during their university years. There are some others, however, who never feel happy with or reconciled to the choice that has been made for them, but they are still obliged to follow this path. In our country the chance to receive a higher education is still limited to a relatively small percentage of high school graduates. Even those who are dissatisfied with the direction of their studies are still happy to be part of a university student body. In my eyes, one of the major benefits of the open curriculum at a liberal arts college like Trinity is that it permits an "interpermeation" to occur between various fields of study. The curriculum is not so rigidly orga-

nized that it is impossible, for example, for a biology major to take courses in Chinese or children's literature. A vocational sense of education does not squeeze out opportunities for experimentation and a sometimes serendipitous but healthy broadening of the intellect. There is a recognition in Trinity's plan for education that chance correlations between fields of study are selfenriching and may often contribute in surprising ways even to the vocational side of educational process. Another quality of higher education at Trinity that has impressed me is the flexibility one finds in teaching style. Students are encouraged to come to a personal sense of enlightenment in each of their courses. In this process, the teacher's function is to guide the students and to create for them a sense of interest in the matters being studied. When this method succeeds it can inspire an interest in music, poetry, or fine arts that may well last for a lifetime. In China in traditional times, teaching was a bit like force feeding ducks: students were presented with a fixed curriculum of study and learned it by rote. The teacher's job was to discourage personal variations or laziness along the way. Although education has changed enormously since Liberation in 1949, one can still, regrettably, find some remnants of a feudal view of educational work and it is my personal feeling that a more creative pedagogical approach should be discovered in future years as China improves its educational work. Another impressive feature of a Trinity education is the fact that courses in a single field, at least in the humanities, are not rigidly defined in terms of their subject matter. In a history course, one also reads novels and sees films; in a literature course, stress is placed on historical context and development of a wide range of critical tools for understanding the text. When it is time to write a paper or give a report, students are encouraged to synthesize what they have learned and, even in introductory courses, are expected to have their own views of the issues they have tackled. It turns out that the students write very well and each tries to be different from the others in the content and style of their essays. Papers, just like the clothes they wear, match the reality of "one hundred flowers blooming" (baihua qifang). In this, too, I see a lesson that with suitable modifications might be applied in China. In China a popular expression for studying hard is maitou kugan which literally means "to bury the head and work bitterly hard." In a certain sense, this is an apt description of the way in which the process of learning is viewed by Chinese students and their teachers. Studying is not a relaxed process. The teacher writes his lecture notes, the students copy them down and check them for accuracy, and before the exam the same notes are laboriously memorized. The most successful students are usually those whose work most precisely reflects the teacher's thoughts and words. Too often, the teacher

totally dominates the educational process and provides 路 little room or incentive for creative growth. Students sit passively in their classes and are ready to accept without argument the professor's view of the subject. Since students are not active in speaking in class and almost never confront the point of view handed down to them, their ability to analyze and come to their own conclusions about complex social or artistic issues is hampered. Often, for example, when students are encouraged to 路 ask questions at the end of a controversial lecture by an outside lecturer, they are too timid to do so unless they are allowed to write the questions on anonymous slips of paper. When they do speak in class, they are very reserved and, due to this whole mode oflearning, their answers to exam questions tend to be very much the same. It is thus little wonder that outside the classroom or as adults they shy away from public expressions of their own ideas. From the point of view of one familiar with higher education in China, another impressive feature of education at Trinity is the high quality of the College's facilities. The computer laboratory, the library, the gymnasium, and the Mather Student Center provide settings in which students can study and relax and develop as individuals. I was especially surprised by the accessibility ofT rinity College's research facilities. Having the computer lab open twenty-four hours a day so that students working on a complicated problem can have access to its terminals is an excellent idea. Likewise, opening the stacks and the various collections in the College's library to both students and the Hartford community makes it

convenient to use and a research facility with large significance for this region. In general, the material and technical level of American education, with ample book collections, xerox machines, video recorders, computers, and microfilm machines so readily available to all students and faculty, seems very advanced to one visiting the United States from China. Doing research at a Chinese university is a much more laborious process. Library collections are often imperfectly catalogued and the stacks of school libraries are generally closed. A system of inter-library loans between regional libraries does not exist and it is also hard to encourage a library to purchase the books you consider necessary for your research. Thus, it is hard to find what you are looking for in card catalogues, impossible to roam about in the stacks searching for material related to your area of interest, impractical to use other library collections, and most difficult to acquire new works related to your field of interest. When you do find a book or document you are seeking, you have to copy by hand any passages that you choose to cite because xerox machines are non-existent in most school libraries. Thus, when I watch Trinity students, happily xeroxing many pages of material in your library, I often wonder if they could possibly appreciate the great convenience they enjoy! But although I appreciate the strengths of American ~ higher education, I can also see some weaknesses. One failing that is particularly notable to me, not only at Trinity but on other American campuses, is the underemphasis on the study of Asian civilizations and languages. In China today, English is 'the second language for the vast majority of middle school, high school and college students. (Most high school students, for example, study at least six hours of English per week.) In addition, courses on American literature and history are part of the curriculums of nearly all Chinese humanities programs. The great improvement in the relationship between China and the United States has been reflected in our educational work and we believe that for our friendship as nations and peoples to grow that it is necessary to expand our students' understanding of America through their educational experience. At Trinity there are presently many courses related to China and Asia listed in the College's catalogue and it is clear to me that one can easily study Asian political systems, religions, or history here. But there is a great gap when it comes to literature and language. A linguistic "window" to Chinese and Asian civilization has yet to be fully opened. To me, coming from the city of Xi'an which since the Zhou dynasty became the capital of China three thousand years ago, has produced generation after generation of poets, philosophers, artists, scientists, and statesmen, the culture of China seems especially precious. But it is a culture that is appreciated best, like all cultures, when comprehended through the original language of its culture heroes and men of letters. While I do not want to belabor the point, I would suggest that Trinity's curriculum would be enriched and

improved if it were possible for its students to do more extensive work in Chinese literature and language. In the changing world of the late twentieth century, surely Chinese, Japanese, and other Asian languages deserve as much attention here in America as English is given on campuses throughout China and other Asian countries! Another quality of American education that is at first somewhat shocking to one used to education in China, is the way American students behave in and outside of class. Since I had met many Americans in China, I was prepared psychologically for this when I arrived in Hartford, but was still surprised to see students drinking coffee or soda in class, placing their feet on the desk in front of them, and lounging on the grass in all states of dress. The loud music coming from student rooms and the wild state of the campus on a Saturday night were also new to me, and I was interested to see that faculty members seem simply to take all of this in stride and make no attempt to interefere. In China, classes begin with a formal exchange of greetings between the teacher and students and the students sit up erectly and attentively during the lesson. If a student brought a drink to class, wore a tee shirt, arrived late, or relaxed too visibly it would be regarded as being impolite to the teacher

and would violate school rules. Students treasure their chance to study at a university and make full use of their time. Also, the school week in China is six days and there are far fewer vacations and breaks. In general, the attitude of students toward their education seems a bit more serious in China and time for leisure pursuits is limited. This comparison of education in China and at T rinity is far from complete but it highlights a few points of contrast that were very apparent to me during my stay. The variations in education in China and the United States obviously reflect the different political, economic, and social structures of the two countries and their separate histories. However, it is my belief that despite the different purposes of education in China and America, there is much that can be learned from the process of comparison. The future of education in China will follow a path that is determined in part by Chinese traditions and the objective conditions of its society but it is also possible for horizons of higher education to be expanded through a process of cultural cross-fertilization. In a university everyone is always also a student and educators can never be satisfied with the present condition, but must work constantly to improve the quality of the colleges and universities they serve.

orne graduated from college 50 years ago while others had been out a mere five years. But for all of the alumni who converged on campus with their families and friends, June 12-15 was a time to reunite. At Spring Reunion '86, 1,200 people came to reminisce and enjoy traditions: the alumni parade, Half Century gathering, class dinners, entertainment and lectures. One seminar, "Chemical Dependency as a Family Disease," featured panelists from Reunion Class '66 and a Soviet Union lecture titled "The Changing of the Guard" was given by Samuel D. Kassow '66, associate professor of history. Alumni from the past decade pooled their talents with current undergraduates in a vocal presentation that included numbers they'd sung at Trinity. Also, Chapel Singers from Classes '80-'89 held their first reunion, which culminated in a performance of three favorite anthems at the Sunday service. In addition to those noted in the next few pages, the national Alumni Association presented awards to the following: The Trinity Club of Washington received the George C. Capen Trophy as the area alumni association that best fulfilled its function in the preceding year; the Jerome Kahn Award went to the Class of '16 for having the largest percentage of members at Reunion; and the Board of Fellows Bowl was presented to the Class of '61 for demonstrating the most reunion spirit. The 1916 Alumni Fund Trophy went to the Class of '7 5 for the best fundraising record among the younger classes and the Class of 1934 Alumni Fund Trophy went to the Class of 1960 for having the best alumni fund record.

wenty-five years away, and we're back. We've gone from Ike and JFK to Reagan, from Volkswagen bugs to Exercycles, through Vietnam and Watergate, from Khrushchev to Gorbachev, through the early stirrings of the civil rights campaign to the feminist revolution, from Camus to Jerry Falwell, from acne to Grecian Formula. Fortyseven and pushing 20, we jog in Reeboks along suburban hedgerows, a W alkman hooked to our minds. We have gone to pot, from the kind we smoked in the '60s to the one you pull a belt around. It seems not so long ago, but consider: People said the Beatles were rebels because they grew their hair all the way down to the tops of their ears. Rebellion at Trinity was a turtleneck and voting Democratic. Coke was a beverage and a trip was three Budweisers, chug a lugged. Gay was a good party. You could get kicked out of school for having a girl in your room. Now sisters can be brothers in your own fraternity. 1961: The figure has a bland and un-

•

eventful look, forgettable if semi-symmetrical and thus the sort that dooms the class that bears it to the murky continuum of passing matriculants, anonymous to all but the development office. But we defied the odds. As mere freshmen, for example, we won a place in the annals of the Hartford Police Department with the Bottle Night That Ended Bottle Nights. Ours was the class that wrote the requiem to Required Chapel and the class that won The Trial. Craig Cullen and Bob Spahr, facing suspension, appealed their convictions to the Senate, Cullen having been charged with sheltering a homeless woman and Spahr for circulating about Northampton on a purloined bicycle, with a purloined automobile battery in the basket. Grades? The class average was close to B, thanks to the pulling power of John Stambaugh, No. 1 in the class all four years and now a classics professor at Williams. Jocks?

dead-eye arm of the diminutive Tony Sanders. We're back, for an archeological dig into life's big launching pad. In reply 'to questionnaires from the alumni office, most of us said we liked the place: "Grateful," said Kit lllick, a merchant banker. "Good education, enjoyable four years," said Andy Cantor, a Philadelphia lawyer. "A very warm, challenging, positive experience for me," said Vinny Stempien, a Citicorp vice president now. "Best thing that happened to me," said Neil Newberg, a physician in Winter Park, Fla. "A nice place to visit," said Randy Ryan, one of the class's four airline pilots. "I understand it has changed significantly but has become confused about sexism," writes Sanders, now a New York real estate developer residing in Brooklyn. "Mostly," wrote Ron Polstein, who works for the Ministry of Human Resources of the province of British Columbia, "Trinity is a classic example of an educational facility designed to main-


tain the power elite, while allowing upward mobility to those who gain access to T rinity and want to make use of the opportunity." Even so, said journalistpedagogue Bill Kirtz, who discovered a proletariat here. "I found out th at everybody didn't have two camel's hair coats," he said. Dick Schnadig, now practicing law in Chicago, wrote in the Tripod 29 years ago, "I came East for knowledge and can't find it." He took a little heat en route to his Phi Beta Kappa key. But he had a point of course, so we drank to it. Whatever our doubts, we are voting our approval, not only with a respectable level of alumni fund contributions but with $15,000 annual tuition checks as well. Among the children we've been dispatching here are a LeStage, a Newberg, a Gerber, a Carter, a Thurman, a Rustigian, a Musante, a Ramsey, and next year, it appears, a Kilborn. "I would like all of my (three) children to attend," wrote Bob Honish , a chest doctor in Philadelphia. "It would be my fondest hope to have one of my (two) sons attend Trinity," said Boston banker Frank Morse. We're back now for a couple of days, to salute ourselves, our selection of wives and jobs, and to see if somehow there's something cohesive about 240-some men, some with names we never learned much less forgot, a few who became the scaffolding of our survival. Hobbling along the stepping stones of careers and family lives, we gauge the time remain-

ing to repair the mistakes and start again. Some of us will measure ourselves against ourselves and make private judgments about Success. Many have Made It, but the wizened among us reserve the right to define the It. T he crew-cut Texan, Tom Reese: He was captain of the football team, a sen ator, a member of the Chapel Cabinet and the vestry, a man of boundless decency and barren of pretense. He went to Vietnam. He was mutilated in combat and spent years, not months, in hospitals. In Washington, he settled into the executive suite of the Postal Service, and got his family going again. Five years ago he was back here, lame, and marching in the class parade with a cane. A

year or so later, he died in a car crash. Tom Reese had made it by the time he boarded the bus out of Beaumont. By one standard or another, others are making it.

We've got a real estate agent for movie stars (Dick Lowe) and a breeder of race horses (Kerry Fitzpatrick). The Meyerson Twins? They have gone their separate ways: Dan is chief of radiology at the Community Hospital of Palm Beach; Paul is chief of radiology at the Community Hospital of Daytona. Bob Woodward, a.k.a. "Stranski," writes, "Tried corporate life and flipped out. Did drugs, grew h air, fought to get U.S. out of 'Nam." He is now the proprietor of a film-making, public relations, newsletter enterprise in Bend, Ore. He calls it Crashing Boar Productions. For all such endeavors, many have harvested the earthly reward. The great middle of us, about 35 percent, have household incomes between $75,000 and $150,000, which fits within the top two percent of the American population. Three of 77 who returned anonymous polls to the College last fall claimed income exceeding $500,000, and two put theirs under $30,000. One of those at the bottom said he worries less about financial problems than the three at the top say they do. He says he wor-

ries most about nuclear war. The three at the top consider themselves professional successes. One at the bottom did, too, while the other said, "somewhat." However noteworthy that all may be, however many bucks we gather, some of us march to other drummers. "I grew the biggest pumpkin in my neighborhood this year," Polstein wrote. In addition to his rectorship duties at the Church of the Holy Trinity in New York, Bert Draesel composed the music for three children's musicals that were actually produced and the music for three religious records. Dan Thurman, schooled in social work, runs a home for Jewish aged in Wilmington, Del. "Teaching, teaching, teaching," Baltimore public school teacher Neal H aynie said of his years since leaving Trinity. T here are other routes to the Chapel in the Sky, of course. "I am now building a high-performance airplane," says Charlie Tuttle, who manages farms in Ohio. No one, though, can top I.R.S. official Ken Cromwell's mastery of the two great challenges of life, child-rearing and golf. Two years ago, in Ogden, Utah, on a respectable par 72 course, the redoubtable Cromwell delivered a performance of such serene simplicity that all can share 路 in the reflected joy. He sh ot a 60. As for kids, Cromwell told the alumni office, "I was married to my first wife for 20 years. We raised her four children and a daughter of our own. After our divorce,

I remarried and once again came into a family of four children." That makes nine (or close to four times the 2.4 average for the class) and his daughter, he said, is awaiting triplets. We're back, looking behind and thinking ahead. Mid-life crisis or mid-life adventurism, about a third of us have just completed mid-course corrections or say we're toying with them. Mayer says he might sell the family real estate business and write. Honish and Illick say they might write. Morse wants time for "unexplored experiences." Jack Perry, having prospered as owner of discount eyeglass stores, says he wants to abandon all that to do battle against drug abuse, full time. Tom Musante, who runs an insurance business in Cheshire, Conn., is poised to pounce somewhere new, and it would be prudent for the rest of us to be poised to duck. "I am excited, awed and frightened as I enter this new phase of my life," he writes. "I am also ready." In those questionnaires, Trinity asked about our goals for the next 25 years. We said we want to do well by our kids and our communities and to keep on climbing our little Everests. But Stranski's probably got it right. He hopes, he said, "to let my little light shine." Peter Kilborn '61 is senior economics correspondent in Washington , D.C. for t he New York Times. This article, written for the 1961 reunion book, is being shared with all alumni because it captures the spirit of the occasion.

AWARDS EIGENBRODT CUP AWARD CHARLES EDWARD JACOBSON, JR. Class of 1931

A

caring physician whose service to his fellow man includes treating both his patients' and society's ills, this alumnus has found 40 years of excitement and fulfillment in the _ practice of medicine. His intellectual powers and leadership skills were apparent as an undergraduate when he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi and president of the junior class. Graduating as the salutatorian he entered Cornell Medical School where he received his M.D. degree in 1935. After internships in Hartford, New York, and St. Louis, he spent four years as a fellow in urology at the prestigious Mayo Clinic, concurrently earning an M.S. degree from the University of Minnesota in his typical overachieving fashion. He returned to Connecticut for good in 1943 and became one of the state's most respected specialists, serving as chief urologist at Manchester Memorial and the Connecticut Veterans Hospital. In 1969, the Newington Children's Hospital honored him for 25 years of service on its staff. His distinguished career also includes presidencies of the Hartford County Medical Association and the New England Urological Association. 22

Along with his busy practice he somehow found time for many civic involvements in h is adopted hometown of Manchester, including president of the United Fund and the Lutz Junior Museum. His many honors include being named Manches-

ALUMNI ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

( '4'-

DOUGLAS T. T ANSILL Class of 1961

EDWARD A. MONTGOMERY, JR. Class of 1956

Achievement and eminence in the business world are the requisites for this new award, presented today for only the second time. It is appropriate that the recipient is both an influential member of the New York financial community and one of Trinity's most energetic and loyal alumni ... For the past eight years he has been with Kidder, Peabody & Co. as vice president of corporate finance and a director . . . The College has recently enlisted his leadership as national chairman of the alumni committee in the forthcoming Capital Campaign.

In the high pressure world of finance, money management and international banking, this alumnus has traveled the fast lane to the top. Now celebrating his 30th reunion, he is among the nation's leaders in the banking profession as chairman and chief executive officer of Mellon East ... Beyond the world of banking he has shared his talents willingly with a host of community enterprises, including the United Way of Allegheny County, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and as an elder of the Presbyterian Church.


ALUMNI MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE

RICHARD G. MECASKEY Class of 1951

GERALD J. HANSEN, JR. Class of 1951

A man of steel, this super salesman has spent the last 35 years in devoted civic service to his adopted hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. An enthusiastic Trinity booster, he has almost singlehandedly built the Northeastern Ohio Alumni Club into one of the College's most active area organizations ... Since 1983, he has been president of his own thriving firm, American Electro Coatings ... His business success has been matched by his wholehearted participation in community life.

Eleven years ago this alumnus' unabashed loyalty and love for Trinity convinced him to exchange a flourishing business ca~eer for the challenge of building bridges between the College and its alumni. The size and scope of this reunion celebration are but one result of his innovative, imaginative leadership ... He has also strengthened town-gown relationships and introduced creative programs involving alumni in admissions, career counseling and continuing education.

KAREN A. JEFFERS Class of 1976 In the brief span of a decade since her graduation, this alumna has established outstanding credentials in the relatively uncharted legal waters of medical ethics and the arts, and set enviable records of achievement in service to her alma mater ... Her leadership qualities were further evidenced by her enterprising service as co-chair of both the Board of Fellows and this year's tenth reunion celebration.

HERBERTR. MORE Class of 1936

ROBERT B. STEPTO Class of 1966

Lighting up the lives of others, both from center stage and from behind the scenes, has been the special gift of this talented alumnus ... As a respected pioneer in television, he designed the lighting systems for the majority of the studios in the country . . . He also labors in the Trinity vineyards and six years ago became the first donor to the College's pooled income fund.

A teacher, who has practiced his craft at some of the nation's best colleges and universities, this alumnus exemplifies the intellectual curiosity and breadth of interests that are the hallmarks of a liberal arts education ... Now a professor of English, Afro-American studies and American studies at Yale, he has not only taught with distinction, but also published a book, as well as numerous articles, essays and poems.

Sports

Men's basketball started slowly, but behind the play of Mike Donovan (above), Ken Abere, and Jon Moorhouse the team went on to win 22 of 26 and its third consecutive E.C.A.C. Division Ill New England Championship.

onships and with sixteen returning players a third title is within its reach. Robin Sheppard, seeking her twelfth straight winning season, has two of her top three scorers back in ]en Brewster and Ellie Pierce. The defense will again be led by goalie Pam Ingersoll who made a school record 137 saves last year while recording three shutouts.

Men's soccer lost only three players to graduation and hopes to improve on last year's 4-8 record. The top offensive player, speedy Chris Hyland, returns after scoring ten goals last year. Bill Eastburn will direct the defense again from his position as goalie where he had three shutouts. Women's soccer was only 1-9last year, but with all but one player returning Coach Karen Er-


landson is optimistic. Women's tennis coach Wendy Bartlett lost three key players, but this year's team will be strong with returnees Robin Wentz, Patti Neumann, and Chris Sanden. Alex Magoun enters his second year as coach of the cross country team. Last year Magoun's men's team finished an injury-plagued season at 2-8, while the women had a fine season at 10-5. Magoun has a strong team headed by captain Paul Deslandes for the men, and Jenny Elwell for the women. One of last year's surprises was the success of the women's volleyball team that finished with a fine 7-5 mark in its first season as a varsity team. Coach Mary Eckerson lost only one player to graduation and hopes to improve upon last year's success.

1985-86 YEAR IN REVIEW==:===:==: The past school year proved to be an exceptional one for Trinity's student-athletes. Not only did the men's and women's varsity teams combine for a record of 181-134, a .575 winning percentage, but also three teams won regional championships and eleven individual athletes earned places on All-America teams.

Remarkably, both the men and women finished with the same winning percentage, .575. The men had 8 of their 13 teams finish above .500, with an overall record of 104-77. The women were equally successful with 8 winners and another team at .500 from a total of 11 squads. The women's overall record was 77-57. The men began the year slowly, with just one of the three fall teams enjoying a winning record. The football team, led by seniors Mike Doetsch on offense and Mark Murray on defense, posted a 5-3 record. The soccer team showed some improvement over past years with a 4-8 record that was marked by seven matches decided by two goals or less. The cross country team finished 2-8 under first-year coach Alex Magoun. Things picked up dramatically in the winter as four of the five teams had winning seasons. The men's basketball team, led by Ken Abere, won the ECAC Division III New England Championship for the third straight year while posting a 22-5 record. Ice hockey also captured the New England title after three previous unsuccessful trips to the tournament finals, and posted a 22-5 season's mark. The men's swim team kept pace by equalling its best mark ever at 9-2. Squash had an off

year at 7-6, but was still ranked seventh in the nation; and the undermanned wrestling team finished at 0- 12 despite some memorable performances by Joe Adam. Three of the five men's spring teams enjoyed winning records. Golf finished at 9-2, its best record ever. Track continued its winning tradition with a 5-2 mark. Baseball started slowly, but improved as the season went along to finish at 10-14. Lacrosse finished at 6-5, and tennis had a 4-6 ledger. While the men started slowly last fall , the women got out of the gate early as four of five teams had winning records. Field hockey, led by Ginny Biggar, won its second consecutive NIAC title while posting a 11-2 mark. Women's tennis was 9- 2, cross country 10-5, the first ever varsity volleyball team went 7-5, and the soccer team had a disappointing 1-9 season. The women's winter athletic competition was highlighted by the squash team's 9-2 record and number three ranking in the n ation. Swimming ended even at 5-5 while basketball slipped to 4-15. This past spring the women had three teams above the .500 mark and another three below it. Lacrosse went 9-3 and sought a fourth consecutive NIAC title, but lost in the finals 14-15 to Bowdoin. Softball enjoyed its first winning season (7 -6) in its three-year history

and was rewarded with a NIAC playoff berth. There were eleven Trinity athletes named to AllAmerica teams: Mike Doetsch and Dan Tighe in football, squash players J.D. Cregan, Bill Villari, Sophie Porter, Ellie Pierce, Erika LaCerda, Nan Campbell and Claire Slaughter, and last, but not least, Art FitzGerald and Joe Adam became Trinity's first A ll-Americans in hockey and wrestling respectively.

PRO OUTLOOK:==:==:==:==:==:== Two of Trinity's finest athletes, Joe Shield '85 and Mike Schweighoffer '84, are still striving to fulfill their dreams of becoming professional athletes in their respective sports of football and baseball. Shield, Trinity's record-setting quarterback, is currently vying for a spot as a reserve quarterback at the training camp of the New England Patriots on the campus of Bryant College in Smithfield, Rhode Island. The Brattleboro, Vermont native led Trinity to a 23-8 record from 1981- 84, including New England Division 11lll records for career attempts (845), completions (476), yards (6646), and touchdown passes (52). Last summer, Joe made the Green Bay Packers after being the first Bantam player to be drafted by an N.F.L. team since Roger LeClerc '60, but Joe was unexpectedly waived during the season when the Packers signed Jim Zorn, a veteran N.F.L. quarterback. Following his stint with the Packers, Joe hooked on with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League as a reserve. During the off-season, Joe worked hard to improve his skills by running, throwing, and lifting weights. Ultimately, he was given the opportunity for "one more shot" with the Patriots. Schweighoffer is currently pitching for the Albuquer-. que Dukes in the class AAA Pacific Coast League and the results have been surprising, even to him. While playing division Ill baseball at Trinity, Mike didn't have overwhelming numbers or the recognition that some division I college players have, but scouts from the Los Angeles Dodgers saw something they liked and now Mike is one step away from the parent club. Mike, who grew up in Wethersfield, Connecticut, 9oesn't throw as hard as a Dwight Gooden or a Roger

Clemens. Instead, he relies on a slider, a sinking fastball, and good control. He led Trinity in games started, completed, and won as well as strikeouts his senior year. He was also a major contributer to the Bantams' 1983 ECAC baseball championship.

SUMMER SPORTS CAMPS~~~= The athletic facilities and playing fields at Trinity were utilized to their fullest this past summer as no less than six athletic camps were held on campus. The National Youth Sports Program has been a tradition at Trinity for 17 consecutive years. Over 400 urban youths participated in the federally funded program designed to inspire underprivileged youths to reach their athletic and educational goals. Under the guidance of Program Director Al Thomas, a former Trinity coach, participants were given expert instruction in a variety of athletic activities including football, basketball, soccer, swimming and tennis. In addition to the athletic instruction each camper was given "enrichment" instruction in drug and alcohol abuse, nutrition and personal health, career opportunities, job responsibilities and higher education. The Trinity Sports Camp is also becoming somewhat of a tradition during the summer months. The camp is now in its eighth year and ran for three two-week sessions. Camp Director Stan Ogrodnik, the coach of the Trinity's men's basketball team, reports that there were over 300 participants, aged 6-14. Trinity's campus was also the site of Coach Ogrodnik's week long basketball camp and Bill Holowaty's baseball camp. Two new athletic camps, one for soccer the other for football, were initiated this summer under the direction of]effVagell and Jim Foster, respectively.

Don Van Arsdale, at 51, is willing to accept the idea that life can hold no further surprises. He has made his place as an executive, a husband and a father, and a dog-owner. Then, virtually overnight, all his certainties dissolve: wife leaves him, dog dies, employment terminates. Like a latter-day Job, he basks in self-pity until he undertakes a process of self-discovery, a belated growing up. The author, who has been an attorney, businessman and restaurant owner, is now a full-time writer. This is his second book.

13 MISTRESSES OF MURDER Elaine Budd, student, Individualized Degree Program Ungar Publishing Co., 1986, 144 pp., $14.95 The author, a journalist who also writes mystery stories, has put together sketches of 13 women from the U.S. and abroad who are pre-eminent in the field of fictional suspense and mystery writing. They include a former airline stewardess, a university professor, a policewoman, an economist and a titled Englishwoman. Each chapter consists of a sketch of the mystery writer, based on interviews, and a synopsis of one of her best "whodoneits."

PROTESTORS ON TRIAL: Criminal Justice in the Southern Civil Rights and Vietnam Antiwar Movements Steven E. Barkan '73 Rutgers University Press, 1985, $25.00 The author analyzes the use of political trials during the Southern civil rights and the Vietnam antiwar movements as a method of promoting or impeding social and political change. He shows how during the civil rights movement, local and state officials used the legal system to thwart civil rights goals. The trials of the antiwar movement were neither so harassing nor so closed to the airing of pertinent issues. This analysis tests pluralist and Marxist approaches to the study of law and protest, and examines the complex and changing relationship between law and social movements in the United States. The author is associate professor of sociology and social work at the University of Maine, Orono.

The surgical options available to the woman who learns that she has a malignant tumor, as well as general information on the prevention and cure of breast cancer are discussed in this nontechnical, illustrated book. Included are a list of sources for further information, and a guide to medical terms. Substantial attention is given to the subjects of recovery from surgery and breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The author, a surgical oncologist, is current president of the New England Cancer Society.

This annotated bibliography is a supplement to two bibliographies by the German scholar Heinz Schreckenberg. It supplies summaries which are missing for about 800 of his entries, adds approximately 1800 items which he omitted for his years (through 1975), and adds about 900 for the period from 1976 through 1984.

Development banks, or development corporations, are usually thought of as supplying long-term capital to prospective entrepreneurs. Although this characterization is essentially correct, it is also misleading when applied to multipurpose banks such as the Nacional Financiera. This institution has been actively engaged throughout its history in promotional activities such as enterprise creation and equity participation - operations that characterize the bank as an entrepreneur of the last resort. In addition to examining the entrepreneurial role of the Nacional Financiera, this book relates the Bank's changing position to the financial and industrial policies pursued by the Mexican state.

Birth Announcements Policy In order to provide more complete information, future birth announcements will include the first names of both parents, and, in the case of an alumna, her maiden name as well. For instance, a birth announcement for an alumnus and his wife would read:

1973 JOHN and Mary JONES, daughter, Mary Elizabeth, May 26, 1986. In the case of an alumna and her husband, the birth announcement would read:

1973 John and MARY SMITH JONES, daughter, Mary Elizabeth, May 26, 1986. If both parents are alumni, the announcement would read:

1973-1975 JOHN and MARY SMITH JONES: daughter, Mary Elizabeth, May 26, 1986. Those who prefer another form of listing should plainly indicate the style on the information that is sent in to the alumni office. In cases where the mother of the baby has retained her maiden name and wishes the birth announcement to reflect this, the announcement would read:

1973 JOHN JONES and Mary Smith, daughter, Mary Elizabeth Jones, May 26, 1986. If the baby's last name is to be hyphenated, this should also be indicated on the announcement information sent to the alumni office. Finally, in news of adoptions, parents should specify in the information sent to the alumni office whether they want the announcement to indicate adoption. In all birth announcements, alumni/ae should include the full names of both parents, class year(s), baby's gender, and special requirements if the announcement is to be in an unusual form. 1970 Mr. and Mrs. David G.

It is with deep regret that I learned of the death of RUSS HATHEWAY on July 9 at age 89 (see In Memory) . Russ was unable to return to College for his junior year due to illness. He entered the employ of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company and was affiliated with the Company until his retirement. I became affiliated with the Company shortly after graduation and Russ and I had a long-term friendly association. In recent years, he lived in the family homestead in West Hartford, where I visited with him occasionally until I was no longer permitted to drive. His passing brings us, I believe, to a total of six in the Class of 1918, all of whom must have celebrated their ninetieth birthday or have it blowing down their neck.

IKE NEWELL and spouse Helen attended the Half-Century Club Reunion Dinner at the campus on June 12th. I was there also, accompanied by three of my grandchildren, namely: Atty. Mary Jean Marvin of Washington, D.C.; Amy DiLorenzo, a senior at Regis College in Weston, MA; and JIM DiLORENZO '86. You see, I wanted to make sure at my advancing age that I would not lose my way home! Again, congratulations to DOC CELENTANO, who is practicing medicine full time at the age of 86! I was saddened by the report of the passing of PAUL NORMAN on 12/18/85 (see In Memory). We extend our condolences to his relatives. Class Agent: Sereno B. Gammell

Just four of us, accompanied by our wives, made it for our 26th Reunion, said couples being the HAROLD MESSERs, the HERB NOBLEs, the JAMES BURRs, and your SECRETARYs, the WALTER RILEYs. A most enjoyable time was had even though the campus is decidedly different from when we roamed it, and we old timers had to be directed to the different lecture halls. Any of you who haven't visited the College in recent years should try to do so. As for the Reunion schedule itself, it was a honey - good food, good lectures, and, with one slight exception, good weather. What more could one want? It was too bad more of us didn't make it, for it's a good piece down the road to our next one. Two classmates did send along some news. ADRIAN AVITABLE advises that his grandson, GREGG, makes the third generation graduating from Trinity. And FRANK PRYOR is spending two months in England, Scotland and Wales. If any others have any news, pass it along. We are always interested in hearing from more of you. Class Agent: Herbert J. Noble

Hey fellows! If the Reporter asks for class notes in mid-July for its fall issue, should your SECRETARY be faulted if in

that fall issue he reminds everyone that come spring of 1987 we have our 60th Reunion? Surely you all realize it, but are you ready to make plans for being there? It would be great if we had a good group together under the 1927 banner at the Half Century Club Dinner as well as a bunch to lead the reunion classes parade on the Long Walk. While it may seem too early to make a commitment at this time, it would help a great deal if you did. We are looking for a positive response to a visit to the campus come Reunion time. Drop a note to your SECRETARY at the above address, or if you prefer, to your chairman, ANDY FORRESTER, at 106 Woodmere Rd., West Hartford, CT 06119. Any thoughts you might have to make your visit more enjoyable would be appreciated and will be given careful consideration. What do you say that we get together and have a real good time without any paddles or "coo-coo" parties? Class Agent: The Rev. Robert Y. Condit

We are sorry to report that CHILI JACKSON had a stroke in February 1985, followed by several episodes of heart failure. He has been in a convalescent center in Kansas City where his daughter has been living. This fall he probably will come back east with his daughter, for her husband will be teaching at Smith College. Trinity's alumni office probably will have his new address. He enjoys letters and Trinity news which his daughter reads to him. We wish him well. LOU RULNICK sends his regards and best wishes to classmates. Lou retired from the practice of law several years ago to be with a sister who lost her vision and whose health is such that she requires his constant care.

DICK MORRIS and his wife, Alice, returned recently from a trip through the Maritime Provinces of Canada after selling their cottage in Jonesport, ME. The cottage had been Dick's summer retreat for thirteen years. "To part with it closed a chapter in my life, making the parting bittersweet." He recently received honorable mention for his poem, "These Three," which will be included in the forthcoming "World of Poetry" anthology. NORM C. MILLER has also published a

poem in The Connecticut River Review. He writes, "At last I'm a real poet!" Norm served with Dick Morris on the editorial board of the Trinity Review during their undergraduate days. JACK WHITE reports that after ten years he still enjoys "the very beautiful Texas hill country" around Fredericksburg, the birthplace of Admiral Nimitz a land, Jack says, that still retains its German heritage. WALLY BORIN, Class Agent, wrote to all of us urging us to participate in the 1986 Alumni Fund Drive. His good efforts, and special mention of the Class of' 40 Memorial Scholarship Fund, should help us to present to the College a substantial sum • for scholarships when our 50th Reunion rolls around in 1990.

A prominent feature of the Alumni Parade was three antique autos, furnished through the courtesy of Ed Smith and his family. A 1930 Cadillac and a 1931 Franklin stayed the course, with

motors purring, but a 1941 Packard broke down en route. It just goes to show that the modern cars aren't built like the old timers. During the weekend, new class officers were elected. Lou Buck was elected president, Ray Thomsen, vice president, and Frank Kelly, secretary. The only contest came over the office of class agent and Don Day lost, being elected. He will, however, have the benefit of the hard-won experience of John Carpenter, who has agreed to remain in the field as assistant agent. Bill Oliver and Dick Barnes were elected regional representatives for Florida and California respectively, and, with his characteristic enterprising spirit, Bill Wiley has agreed to handle the rest of the country, concentrating on the Eastern states. Bill Oliver will have more time to devote to these duties, since he reports that he retired May 1st for the second time. During Reunion, Lee Goodman found the time to use the new library for some research on a book of short stories he is working on, and was enthusiastic about the facilities. Other classmates reported by mail, although their presence was missed. JOE CLAPIS writes that he "just became a grandfather for the second time (April 3, 1986). Baby's name is Elizabeth Ann, weight 7lbs. 7 oz." Another card, written in the third person, informs us that "after 44 years in mfg., mainly Aerospace, W.L.

We are, at this writing, in the middle of July with a deadline to meet in a few days. The class notes on hand arrived during the month of May ... you will see them some months from now. At that time CLEM MOTTEN will be back from Kenya where he viewed the zebra, elephants and other wildlife. Clem retired at the end of 1985 from Temple University and immediately took a "busman's holiday" to Mexico, a country well-known to him since he was a professor of Latin American history during his teaching days. After a distinguished career as cantor of Emmanuel Synagogue, ART KORET will retire in October 1986. He retired in 1985 from Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford after 30 years. Art is a past president of the Cantors Assembly of America, and a past president of the Cantors Council of Connecticut and I might add he is still in "fine voice" for I have heard his records. Residing in Glendale, AZ, EVERETT CROSS has retired from Motorola, Inc. and in June 1985 he and his wife, Florence, moved into the retirement community of "Glencroft."

Joseph Clarke started at Trinity in 1929 in the physical education department, was swimming coach until 1952, and registrar and dean of students from 1946-1958. Lucile Clarke, a dietician, helped her husband in the planning of faculty teas and dinners for undergraduates, and the chaperoning of campus social events. Since leaving Trinity, Joseph Clarke has been high school guidance teacher and junior-senior high principal at Westfield Academy and Central School, and vice president, director of education and acting president at Chautauqua Institution.

According to columnist Mike Royko in the Chicago Tribune, FRANK FASI, mayor of Honolulu (14th year), has reacted in typical "Fasi fashion" to pressure he has received from the federal administration. Both Frank Keating of Treasury and Larry Speakes from the White House wanted Fasi to provide Honolulu police backup for the Secret Service covering Marcos. Frank in effect said, "No - too expensive and would use police who were needed elsewhere." MIKE ZACCARIA, manager of the Cameo Theater, had a note from Frank Fasi stating that he had suggested that Marcos buy Gilligan's Island near Honolulu for his personal retreat. JOHN GARDNER sailed across the Atlantic in his 42' ketch, Griffin, in January. With him were two sons. The trip from the Canary Islands to Antigua took 18 days. John lives "on board" seven months of the year, since he retired from the Mark Twain National Bank in St. Louis, MO in May of '84. (Sorry we didn't know about the retirement sooner, John.)

HANK GETZ did it again! He has retired as interim rector of All Saints Church in Sun City, AZ. FRANC LADNER retired in Jti.ly of '85 from the importing division of General Housewares Corporation after 15 enjoyable years. He is now running a one-man mail order operation selling used books. For diversion, he reports he collects and "wheels and deals" in antique toys. Both activities involve :research and writing for which, Frank says, "Trinity definitely provided a solid foundation." HAROLD JOHNSON reports that he continues to enjoy retirement at Isle of Palms, SC. In 1985 he acquired two new grandchildren, bringing the total to eight, and anew boat which added a "new dimension of pleasure and interest." JOHN CHURCHILL, who retired from Wayne State University in Johnson City, TN in 1983, is now a professor in the Department of Medicine at East Tennessee State University's School of Medicine. He is enjoying his active "retirement," teaching and doing research on toxicity in plants, thereby combining medicine and botany. KEN ALBRECHT is managing the Deluxe Inn in Robstown, TX.

A versatile man of varied hats who has been on the faculty for twenty-three years, Mr. Williams exudes enthusiasm for 'the classroom experience' in Salisbury classrooms, on New England hillsides and in remote wilderness camps. He isn't ready, he said, to relax in a rocking chair or spend all his time fishing. Williams has logged some 16,000 canoe miles and completed 59 wilderness canoe trips. He still enjoys standing on a bitter-cold hillside coaching members of the Salisbury School Ski Team as he has in the past. He has also been a college counselor, assistant headmaster, director of admissions and chairman of the mathematics department. His wife, known as Ibba, will leave to 'younger blood' the post of head librarian that she has held at the Salisbury School for twenty-two years.

Heretired in 1980 with the rank of lieutenant commander after twenty-six years of service in the U.S. Naval Reserve. Until last month, Williams and his wife had intended to ease into retirement. Those plans have been put off for a 1year. Williams has accepted a teaching position at the School Year Abroad in Brittany, France. The school, sponsored by the Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, Phillips Andover in Massachusetts and St. Paul's School in Concord, NH, accepts two English-speaking teachers and sixty American high-school age students each year.

June 13-16 were the dates of our class reunion and 55 classmates turned up, some for the first time since graduation. The weather was excellent and the College never looked better. Some of the highlights of the weekend follow. In the meeting of reunion classes at the Ferris Athletic Center I'm proud to report that our Class gave President English a check for over $35,000 as our Class gift which was $10,000 over our goal! As cochairmen of that fund drive, TOM GUERTIN and I want to thank all the loyal classmates who came through so generously to put us over the top! Also at the class meetings in Ferris Center, NED MONTGOMERY received the alumni achievement award for service to college and community. For most of us the weekend ended Saturday night with the class dinner and dance. BILL EASTBURN conducted an impromptu class meeting over dinner and as we did in 1981, all classmates stood up and reported on the activities and milestones in their lives during the intervening years. JERRY PAULEY demonstrated his now-perfected skills as a stand-up comic and had us all rolling in the aisles. BUNNY (CARL} MEISTER, who with his wife owns a horse riding school and stable, revealed his secret for marital bliss. GORDY WOOD described \vith great humor what life is like back in tiny Sullivan, IL (population 4,112) and SANDY KLEE, just retired from the State Department, seemed very happy with his new lifestyle. BERT SCHADER came from Madrid, BILL DAKIN and DICK STANSON from California, TERRY FORD from Panama, and DAVE TAYLOR all the way from Hawaii. Also at the dinner/meeting, Dick Stanson announced formation of a special auxiliary fund-raising effort to augment the Class of '57 gift at our next reunion in 1991. It is called the "Ninety-One" fund and monies sent to that fund will be pooled and invested in a maximum growth real estate fund in which we anticipate getting a yield of 20o/o in five years. Ten classmates donated over $2500 to the fund the night of the dinner. More information will be sent about this fund, shortly. Other news from classmates through the mail: DICK FLEMING is studying science and religion at Oxford University this summer, and FRANK DUGGAN has a son, John, in the Class of '87. DON SCOTT is an investment counselor with Paine Webber in Naples, FL. Class Agents: John D. Limpitlaw Bruce N. MacDonald

William Kirtz 26 Wyman St. Waban, MA 02168 It was a glorious 25th reunion, as more than 70 of us can attest. Elsewhere in the Reporter, you'll see details of the fiscal triumphs engineered by DOUG TANSILL, DALE PEATMAN and their crew of helpers. We set a giving record not likely to be topped. And there were a myriad of activities arranged by the alumni office and GEORGE LYNCH (whose musical pick for Saturday night, "The Royal Kings," regaled the Mather Hall crowd with the Twist and other authentic '60s sounds). George was elected Class president and 路 KERRY FITZPATRICK (perhaps because he tipped Doug- Kidder Peabody's new co-head of corporate finance - a mere quarter for helping him with the combination locks on the newfangled dorms we were housed in) was relegated to the post of vice president. From HARRY BRIDGE's Rolls Royce to PETER KILBORN's "buy Iowa land" tip during Saturday's economics panel, the weekend of fun and fellowship will be remembered until our next major gettogether, in 1991. Many of those we'd hoped would appear didn't, including some who worked hard to draw both classmates and dollars to the campus. These include TOM SWIFT, ALEX GUILD and MAC WIENER, among others. Making an all-too-brief cameo appearance at Friday night's clambake was the St. Anthony Hall contingent of KIT ILLICK, BILL ELLYSON, GUY DOVE, ARCHIE THOMSON and JOE HUMPHREYS, so you won't find them in the Class photo. Amherst classics professor JOHN STAMBAUGH is sorry to have missed the 25th, but had already promised to take a Duke University group to Rome during that time. He adds that he's coauthor of The New Testament in its Social Environment, just published by Westminster Press. PETER KREISEL, very much on hand for the festivities, has been named president of the Vermont Society of Certified Public Accountants. Anyone chatting with classmates during reunion weekend must have been struck by the number of us who have, have had or hope to have children spend a year or four 'Neath the Elms. One of these is DAVE GERBER, who during a Boston visit mentioned that his son, Steven, a Trinity senior, envisions a college teaching career. PAUL BRIGER's stepson, Austin Keyes, is also a Trinity student, and we understand that Paul and his wife recently made a generous gift to the College. Just because our 30th reunion isn't for a while doesn't mean that we can't get together at the drop of a dime, as NIP BOYKIN has found. Nearly any excuse will do for a '61 party. Give any of us in the Boston area a call, and we'll show you what we mean - from Peatman's exclusive Weston Country Club to the "Cheers" bar. Additional news items: ROBERT M. RODNEY, JR. received his Ph.D. in American diplomatic history from the University of Hawaii in August, 1985. In June, he led a 21-person tour of the Soviet Union from Westminster School, Simsbury, CT. His son, DAVID, graduated from Trinity in 1985 and is now studying for an M.S. in engineering at the Hartford Graduate Center. His daughter, Elizabeth, attended Trinity as an exchange student in Fall 1985 and is now a junior at Wellesley College. GEORGE TATTERSFIELD, regional sales manager of Karastan Rug Mills in Chicago, IL, writes news of his children. Daughter Susan is in her second year at Northwestern; son "Tats" Jr. is in his second year at Amherst; and son Geoff is a high school junior.

The lead story of this report comes from FRED SILL, who invites everyone to get his/her bookings for Carnival '87 in early, as he writes from his luxurious surroundings in Rio de Janeiro. Either conventiently or by accident, Fred forgets to send his address, so unless he is extraordinarily famous or infamous, as the case may be, I suppose you just send them to Fred Sill, Rio de Janeiro. Please send us your address, Fred! WALT SHANNON writes that his daughter, Celinda, a member of the Class of '88 at Trinity, has committed heresy by taking the spring semester at Williams College School of Maritime Studies in Mystic, CT. Typical of Williams College, they are forcing her into a 10-day sail in the Gulf of Mexico as her penance for attending Trinity. Walt's other two are finishing their third year at Pine Manor College and freshman year at Carnegie-Mellon University, respectively. B.D. DRAYTON, JR. writes that he has become fraternity brothers with such notorious characters as PAUL MARION and JACK MINER by joining Delta Kappa Epsilon twenty-nine years after graduation. This decision came after he successfully completed the Silva Mind Control Course and became the principal investor in "First Care Medical Group P.A., A Doctor's Office of the Future." DAVE ROHLFING writes that he is now the executive director of the Milwaukee Council on Alcoholism and will be available at the next reunion, just in case. From Lebanon Valley College in Anville, P A, comes word that BILL McGILL has become vice president and dean of the faculty. He is looking forward to our reunion as he has covetous thoughts about some of the faculty at Trinity and figures he can take them back with him. The last item involves our own BERT SOLANO, M.D., who was not only appointed by the governor of Connecticut to the State Board of Education, but was the

subject of a lead article in the New Britain Herald Reporter. It seems Bert has not changed a bit and is not only the number one specialist in internal medicine, but, according to the article, (we all knew this years ago) has a heart bigger than the Fieldhouse and continues to receive accolades for his compassion as well as his medical skills. If you have any last minute suggestions for our Reunion Weekend, June 11-June 14, 1987, please get them to me by October 1986 as all the firm plans will be in place by that time. I wish everyone a good summer and hope to see many of you at Homecoming next fall. Class Agent: Frederick M. Tobin, Esq.

Money Manager /Leighton Mcilvaine Jr. '59

Neuwirth Fund Seeks Smaller, Undervalued Companies By Leo Fasciocco, Investor's Daily Searching for little-known stocks of small to medium-size companies that often turn into winners has been the trademark of money manager Leighton Mcilvaine Jr., who runs the Neuwirth Fund. According to Lipper Analytical Services Inc., Neuwirth was the first quarter's top performer among funds with assets between $10 million and $100 million. For the 12 months ended March 31, it was ranked second. Neuwirth, a no-load, growth fund with assets of $28.8 million, was up 23.6% in the first quarter, substantially ahead of 14.1% for the Standard & Poor's 500 and the Dow Jones industrial index's 17.7%. For the latest 12 months, net asset value appreciated an impressive 47.5%. "The premise of our investing is, if you buy a stock below its intrinsic value, the value will surface over time and provide an above-average return, said Mcilvaine. "We don't try to time the market. "We look for strong, small to medium-size companies because there have been research studies that have shown that stocks of small companies will outperform the averages over a long period of time. There are millions of little companies out there and it can be risky. So, that's why we look for high-quality firms with strong brand recognition, innovative technology or a dominant market position." Mcilvaine especially likes to find companies that generate cash. One he bought was Quixote Corp., which makes highway crash barriers. It was a big cash generator that used its funds to get into the compact disc business, which has turned out successful so far.

Favoring Low PIE Stocks "A company with excess cash flow has a lot of options," said Mcilvaine. "They can repurchase their shares, increase dividends, make acquisitions and are less dependent on banks. There are a lot of good little companies. What we have to do is separate the good buys. We do that by looking at the price-earnings ratio and generally favor low p/e stocks." Following that formula, Mcilvaine bought in the media group Comcast Corp. at 9'/ ,, Jones Intercable Inc. at 57/ 8, Mobile Communications Corp. at 43/ 8 , Rollins Communications Inc. at 15, Taft Broadcasting Co. at 30 and Tele-Communications Inc. at 71/ 8 • Comcast is now 25, Jones 13, Mobile 13, Rollins 29, Taft 95 and TeleCommunications 48. One of Neuwirth's largest holdings is Graphic Scanning Corp. "We bought a huge position about two years ago when it was $4," said Mcilvaine. "They are the largest paging company in the country. We determined the intrinsic value of the company was $10 a share. The stock is now 8." Although Mcilvaine uses a value approach in picking stocks, he also looks for opportunities in emerging growth stocks with significant appreciation potential. If he finds a stock he likes, he may sell another issue that is not performing that well to get cash for the purchase. Mcilvaine, for example, bought DNA Plant Technology Corp. units at 5 several years ago and they are now selling around 22. "The stock didn't go up for quite a while and it was frustrating," he said. "But we were patient and stuck with it." He also owns Centocor Corp., a biotechnology firm, and recently purchased Oshap Technologies, a factory automation company. During the past couple of months, Mcilvaine said, many of his stocks have reached target prices and been sold. As of this week, the cash position in the fund has risen to 7% of total assets. "Part of money management is fundamental analysis but there is

Neuwirth Fund Headquartered: New York Assets: $28.8 million Objective: Growth Performance: Annual Growth 12% over the past 5 years

a certain part that is your stomach," said Mcilvaine. "There are times when you have a feeling. It's to some degree an art. "I am definitely a patient person. But if something goes wrong, then I think one should say, 'Thank you very much,' and sell. We owned Amerada Hess Corp. once. It moved from the mid-30s down to 25 and was a bad situation, even though oil analysts were maintaining their optimism. But we decided to eliminate it." One of Mcilvaine's big winners- which could have been an even bigger winner - was Vistar Films Corp. which plans to release the film "Shanghai Surprise" starring rock star Madonna. "We bought Vistar for the fund last fall and paid $11 to $13 for the units, which included stock and warrants," said Mcilvaine. "The units, traded under the ticker symbol of Visau, moved to 36 in February and we sold it. "However, we talked with the company and realized we made a mistake and we bought it back. It kept on going and hit the mid-50s in March where we sold out our position. Unbelievably, the units went higher. They are now 100. "We tend to get out too early sometimes because we sell when our stocks reach a certain target. I do believe in the old saying, 'Let your profits run,' but I also believe in trimming and taking profits.

Trimming Pays Off "Trimming allows one the mental capacity to hold the rest of your position. If you don't, you could have a nervous breakdown. I should not have trimmed all ofVistar. But frankly, 11 to 55, that's incredible. I would never have dreamed it would have gone as high as it did." "I use technical analysis as a guide to fundamentals," said McIlvaine. "I like to buy stocks whose Relative Strength is improving and I get concerned when a stock's short-term moving average line cuts downward through a long-term moving average line." He also likes to "trade around a core holding position." When a stock moves up and "gets ahead of itself," he will sell part of the holding and take a profit. When it pulls back, he will repurchase some of it again. Mcilvaine traces his involvement in the securities business to his father, who was a non-resident partner at Goldman, Sachs & Co. and ran the Philadelphia office specializing in municipal bonds. The younger Mcilvaine, who's 48, graduated from Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., with a degree in chemistry and later earned an MBA from New York University. He started his career with Chase Manhattan Bank as a money manager. In 1975, he joined Wood Struthers Management Corp. and took over management of Neuwirth Fund. He also manages the Pine Street Fund, whose objective is growth and income. Reprinted by permission of Investor's Dail.y, America's Business Newspaper, April 11, 1986, Š Investor's Daily Inc. 1986.

I had lots of reasons for coming back to our twentieth reunion this past June, but getting elected as the new Class secretary surely wasn't one of them! Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to keeping you all posted about our classmates' activities over the next few years, and count on you to help me out by writing me with any and all


Class of 1966 news. The Reunion is certainly the Big News this issue. We had about forty members of the Class back, led by National Alumni Association President BILL SCHWEITZER and Reunion Chairman TOM CHAPPELL. Our Reunion Gift to the College was suitably large, although Schweitzer, as competitive now as he was on the soccer, basketball and baseball teams during our undergraduate days, kept working, trying to make it a 20th reunion record. Other new Class officers elected were: RICH RISSEL, president; FORD BARRETT, vice president; and MASON ROSS to continue as Class agent. In addition, Tom Chappell and JOE HOURIHAN will lead their reunion organization experience to the group as they put together the 25th. 1991 is just around the corner . . .. We had returnees from near and far, including Californians Risse!, ALLEN COOPER, and TOM BEERS (who did a fine job as one of the panel members for a reunion seminar on Chemical Dependency as a Family Disease), Texan BOB BAKER, Virginian LINDSAY DORRIER, Minnesotan RICK KUEHN, Mason Ross from Wisconsin, Ford Barrett from Washington, D.C. and the usual crowd from Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and New England. 'o ne who didn't make it was globetrotting musician from California, CRAIG DOERGE, but he sends the following lateMay report: "Just returned from Auckland, New Zealand, where I performed with Graham Nash, Neil Young, and Jackson Browne to help raise money to buy a new "Rainbow Warrior" for Greenpeace. It's a beautiful country and the New Zealanders were wonderful hosts. My most lasting impression was the virtual absence of television. I'm convinced it has much to do with why all the kids you meet there find it easy to look adults squarely in the eye and carry on a good conversation. Alas, as I left I noticed one McDonald's had opened in Auckland. Can "Dynasty" be far behind? Let's hope so!" (Despite Craig's protestations, you can catch him on Nash's new video next time you're tuned in to MTV.) NED BARTLETT also checked in during May, filing a change of address to 1027 Silver Palm Lane, Maitland, FL 32751 (phone: 305-7 40-8960). Also heard from was JIM LUCAS, wfio's just started a new job as manager of tech-

nical support for Lotus. "Our oldest girl's in junior high school now - it doesn't seem possible," he writes. Ask Tom Chappell about that, Jim he's got one at Trinity already! PAUL HOPKINS didn't make theReunion, probably because he was expecting his second child about then. Send us word, Paul. . . Two from Massachusetts filed spring reports involving positions of responsibility: PAUL DIESEL has been promoted to senior vice president of Multibank Financial Corp. (as of June '85- Paul's quicker in the board room than he is as a correspondent), and PHIL MURPHY has just finished a stint as chairman of the Lynn! Boston chapter of the Elfun Society, a volunteer organization of General Electric leaders. Phil is also treasurer of the Lynn Historical Society. WILL SEVERNS writes from Deadwood, SD, where he has a law practice and also works as a part-time state magistrate. Will is married to Linda Weirs Hanken, whose seventeen-year-old daughter, Karie Anne, is doubtless an ace babysitter for their one-year-old (born July 10, 1985), Kathryn Elizabeth. DAVE PEAKE was at the Reunion, but modestly failed to mention to your correspondent that he's (as of June '86) the new president of the Philadelphia Area Trinity Alumni Association. Also coming to the Reunion was BOB STEPTO, who was awarded an Alumni Medal for having made significant contributions to his profession. The longtime professor of English at Yale has also been active for the College in several alumni roles. Not at the Reunion, but certainly deserving of a bow, was St. George's School (Rhode Island) Headmaster GEORGE ANDREWS, newly voted to Trinity's Board of Trustees. Alumni Director JERRY HANSEN '51 speculates that George was ducking a possible meeting on the squash court ... Random Reunion memories: Joe Hourihan's skillful golf demonstration during our Class dinner; the roaming band of '66 teen offspring (two Moores, a Chappell, a Ross, and a Hart - whom have I left out?); hearing once again the inimitable DAWES laughter; TOM GLENDINNING showing up to put the shot at the world's funkiest track meet; BEN TRIBKEN's visable-ata-mile jams; the beautifully-lit class tents scattered around the Chapel end of the

quad for the clambake Friday night and the lunch Saturday; some vintage rock 'n roll Saturday night; seminars aplenty (in addition to Tom Beers, Bill Eakins, Tom Chappell and RANDY LEE all took part in the Chemical Dependency Seminar, and SAM KASSOW led a session on today's Russia); little sleep; and the new Mather Hall cafeteria, complete with a large selfservice toaster that managed to baffle most of the alumni, though few of their children. Trinity has grown in so many ways since we graduated that one weekend was scarcely enough, for me at least, to take it all in. It was both beautiful and impressive, and the remarks of President English to the gathered alumni (and alumnae, we mustn't forget) made clear that the College will continue to hold a leading place in coming years. I plan to get back more often, and hope to see some of you at events like the Fall Homecoming. Write early and often! Class Agents: William H. Schweitzer, Esq. Mason G. Ross

Is everybody ready for your 20th Reunion?! I've gotta tell ya that this year's aggregation from the Class of '66 was all good stuff. There were RISSELL and ROSS and SCARLETT and SCHWEITZER and HART and ROSS and BARRETT and PEAKE and COOPER and DORRIER and CHAPPELL, all '66, and so many others that I haven't mentioned. Great spirit, a lot of smiles and these guys tossed in somewhere near $80,000 as their 20th Reunion gift. Not bad. We are working on a chairman for our 20th which will take place next year. I'll bet all of you math majors knew that before I said so. Those of you who boarded the Ark amidst ten inches of rain in 1981 have nothing but better times to look forward to. We will try to get started early on preparations and attendance and we will be asking you to dig into those healthy pockets of yours. More later. ROBIN TASSINARI, our good doctor in Chatham, NY, writes that he has added Tassirini #7, Agatha Robin. And we all

thought Robin had trouble getting away from the office. Robin adds that he is now a councilman in Austerlitz, NY and still serves as associate professor of psychiatry and internal medicine at Albany Medical College. In addition, he found time to play "Daddy Warbucks" in a recent production of Annie in his home town. JACK SMITH and his wife showed up from Woodbury, CT "to witness the buffoonery." Additionally, Robin recently got a card from JAY BIRNBAUM "who continues to do well and who has a beautiful family." Great stuff, Robin. Thanks! TOM SAFRAN writes, " I got married last year and we are expecting a baby girl - Lindsey, May 29th." Tom always was a great planner. BOB TUTTLE writes that he has a new job involving research and computer-aided design for the apparel industry. Sorry, Bob, we lost your enclosure. DAVID INWOOD was invited to "chair a symposium and give papers on child care worker training and training child psychiatry fellows at the International Child Psychiatry Conference in Paris in July of 1986." Bob, I know a couple of kids I'd like you to take a look at. "After fifteen years in Oakland, I've discovered there is a 'there' there," so writes CHARLIE BACHRACH from California. Huh? BILL PASTORE has been named president and chief executive officer of Preferred Health Network of Maryland. Congratulations! HORACE J. "Hod" CAULKINS continues the nickname game naming new son "Jory." Ah yes, an update on our favorite commanding officer, RICK LUDWIG. Rick moved from Virginia Beach to San Diego to become commanding officer of NFWS "Top Gun" on August 1, 1986. BILL CROSSLAND resides in Farmington Hills, Ml, where he is associate professor in the school of medicine, department of anatomy at Wayne State University. The College remains in great shape. Financially, academically, on most all fronts Trinity is stronger today than it was when we were there. I hope as many of us as possible will plan to attend our 20th next June. Hi to Coops'. All for now. Class Agent: Roger K. Derderian

He got to see Halley's Comet from the top of Haleakala Crater (10,000 ft. high). "It was spectacular, with a tail just like in the books," he notes. In a newsy letter, DANIEL GOLDBERG writes, "My three boys (ages 8, 11 and 13) believe I have the perfect law practice, representing such clients as the Boston Red Sox and M&M/Mars, since they enjoy the 'fringe benefits.' With the recent move of KIM MILES to the Boston area our senior year suite is now entirely in the area with the exception of ROD COOK. But TOM NARY, GEORGE FOSQUE, JOE McKEIGUE, KIM and myself are all here now. Kim, George and his wife, STU EDELMAN and his wife, and I took a week in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, skiing last year. We are partially losing JOHN VAIL from the area, as he and his wife, Brenda, are renovating a house in New Hampshire into a bed and breakfast. Many of the above joined BEN JAFFEE and wife, Mary, for our now traditional New Year's Eve of several hours of squash followed by a late dinner. "We're listed in the phone book. Call if you're in the area." KERRY HAMSHER has been appointed to the consulting editorial board of the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology.

After eleven years in health administration, KJELL HOLE left his position as head of planning for the Oslo Hospitals and joined the oil division of Norsk Hydro, which is the largest company in Norway and engaged also in electro-chemical industry, aluminum, agricultural products, etc. Working with organizational and personnel development, he says he gets to see quite new sides of life. His two boys are twelve and seven so "there are plenty of challenges also on the home front." He's hoping to revive some Trinity contacts. If anyone visits Oslo, call him at 02-236687. He's also planning to run the New York City Marathon on November 2 and says it would be "nice if I met some Trinity alumni of my own generation along the course."

Those of you desiring to go underground or to look like Tom Cruise can contact Bruce during off hours for advice. ROLF W. JENSEN, Ph.D., is living in New London, where he is professor of economics at Connecticut College. Rolf was my freshman year roommate and liked the "roadies" to Conn College so much, I guess, that he finally just moved in. Rolf, it was terrific seeing you at the reunion. KEITH FUNSTON is living in a lovely, historic home in Sudbury, MA, and is vice president-finance for Advanced Energy Dynamics in Natick. Keith and his daughter attended the reunion. He also revived his legendary smoothness on the dance floor, which I must confess, Keith, was a welcome relief for my friend, Jayne Stewart. One of the highlights of reunion weekend for me was going for drinks and dessert at Shenanigans, the jazz bar and restaurant at Bushnell Plaza owned by JOHN CHAPIN '70. The group that went

Class of1971

on Friday night exemplified the good feelings of Reunion: JACK REALE '70; STEPHEN LINES and his wife, Mimi; CLINT VINCE and his wife, Pamela; STEVE KEENEY; DEBBY ENDERSBY GWAZDA; DAVE SAMPLE and his wife, Alice; PETER MOORE and his fiancee, Lori; BOB BENJAMIN, TOM DiBENEDETTO and his wife, Linda; CHUCK SHOUSE; and STEVE and Lisa JIANAKOPLOS and YOURS TRULY. MIKE JAMES couldn't make Reunion since he and his wife and two children had just made the big move from the Hartford area to Los Angeles. Mike is now a sports writer for the Los Angeles Times and would love to hear from his Trinity buddies, especially SHELDON CROSBY. Speaking of Sheldon, we missed you at Reunion, Sheldon, and SPIKE BIRMINGHAM, and SPENCER KNAPP. What happened to you guys? What happened to JIM GRAVES was exciting. He and wife, Judy, had just moved back here to Big D from Houston, and Jim made it as far as New York on the way to reunion, but had to go back and pass out cigars as Judy gave birth to their first girl, Amy. Congratulations! PETER MOORE and I were very pleased with the fun shared by the group who made it to reunion . Everyone who came is excited already about our 20th and judging by the diversity of this year's group, the turnout next time should set records . TOM DiBENEDETTO and ALAN MARCJ'IIOSOTTO get a big round of applause for leading us to a record for class giving for a 15-year reunion $40,000 + from just 62 of us. If we can get everyone to participate over the coming years, we'll really set some records! I wish there were space to mention everyone. Please keep us up to date on what you're up to.

Your new CLASS SECRETARY was voted in nearly unanimously by all twelve of the classmates who attended the Class meeting during the Spring Reunion. In a politically motivated move, ROB MEY· ERS became the lone dissenter despite having put forward my nomination. The rest of the meeting lasted five minutes while TOM SANTOPIETRO and GREER CANDLER LERCHEN were confirmed Class Agents (all they want is your pretty green cash). ROBIE PORTER and KAREN JEFFERS were then elected co-presidents of our Class (they want you for the 15th reunion). On the money front, President English was presented a 3' x 5' check by Tom Santopietro for the vast sum of eighteen grand given by 99 class donors. 140 attended the Reunion including spouses but not including toddlers. They moved too fast to be counted. Having just added Natalie Stewart to the planet's five billion, my senses were tuned to spotting future members of the Class of 2007. JOHN CLIFFORD was seen proudly push· ing Kate and Morgan in a deluxe stroller built for two. ELIZABETH BOLES GUTTERSON was skillfully monitoring young Elizabeth's movements 'neath the elms. ROBIE PORTER and Pam kept Andrew under control with an assist from their nanny, Shannon. CHRIS HARRIS and Joan left their twins at home even though the "baby dorm" at Funston Hall featured a wide selection of Huggies, Pampers and Luvs for the heirs of RICK SCHWEI· KERT and TERRY BLAKE MILLER. On the way to the delivery room were NANCY MOTLEY WALTON and REBECCA DUNN ONDERDONK. On the way to the altar were DAVID LUDLUM and CHIP GOODE (see Weddings). The hotly debated long distance award went to LISA HEILBRONN of Davis, CA, even though MIKE GILMAN and NANCY OPENSHAW jetted in from L.A. and Palo Alto, respectively. You make the call. TOM SCHULTZ motored up in a Shultz Chevrolet (naturally), celebrating a first anniversary with Susie. Their first stop was the Summit Bar, which was closed. They found out Zips was under new man· agement, but had taken over the laundro· mat next door. Their next stop was the Corner Tap which held the same savory smells of hops and barley. For a midnight snack they chose Friendly' s but discovered boards were nailed to windows and doors. So they settled for ABC Pizza but learned it had changed location. A "za" could still be ready in "twenty minutes" however. On Saturday night, DAVID ROUNTREE and Carter were observed twisting and shouting in the Washington Room to the do-op sounds of "The Royal Kings." BOB MARTIN threatened to gator. GINO BARRA hosted the after-party on the pa· tio of the new and improved "caveteria." JIM LENAHAN and BETSY BECKER LENAHAN provided the laughs for LIZ SMITH HOWARD and LOU BENJAMIN. The biggest disappointment of the weekend was the discovery that our old mail· boxes were nowhere to be found. They had long since been moved with the overhaul of Mather. DODD LATIMER was the only

one who could still remember his combination. If I remember correctly, JAY GOWELL invited everyone to sail on his new yawl. ANDY MERZ and TOM KORNEGOLD both have already signed up for their berths. In search of excellence, CUYLER OVERHOLT looked excellent and Karen Jeffers won a well-deserved Alumni Medal for Excellence. Besides her superb fundraising skills for Trinity, Karen is charting new waters in the legal and ethical aspects of health care. Tom Santopietro closely managed Glenn Close in the Broadway hit Benefactors and is hoping for a long run of Iceman with Jason Robards. On other fronts, JILL ENGLUND JENSEN has moved to Delaware and is a nurse in the intensive care unit of the Regional Trauma Center, as if having Emily (now 7) and Adam (now 1'/z) isn't traumatic enough. TRIP SINNOTT wished he could have recalled a few more words of Italiano from his Trinity/Rome campus days. He was visiting with Bari Native and Angelo Devanada, an author and associate of Mother Teresa. Trip still enjoys working in the Christian Ministry near Brunswick, ME and has published his writings in Yankee and Charisma. PETER HUMPHREY elected himself president of Wyoming County Bank. The promotion comes with a presidential size paycheck and an extra week of vacation which he took skiing with CHRIS JEN; NINGS, ROGER BOWIE and ERIC CORWIN at Lake Tahoe. In May, SALVADORE F. SENA was finishing his postdoctoral fellowship in clinical chemistry at Hartford Hospital. He seeks employment in a hospital or a private or industrial laboratory. ELAINE FELDMAN PATTERSON and husband Gregg have been flying the friendly Southwest skies in their Piper Cherokee 235. She will have access to plenty of oil for the plane with her new position as manager of compensation and benefits for the International Division of Union Oil of California. The last word from STEVE TRIGGS was that he returned from a "stint" in

KEITH GALLAGHER and his wife, LORIE MILLER GALLAGHER '84, just "bought a new house and got a keeshond puppy named Drake." ROBERT PIGUE is "excited about the house we just bought in Fairfield, CT." And KATHLEEN GROFF writes that "I am expecting OUT second baby in June (our first, Emily, will be two in August)." Kathleen is teaching at the Ethel Walker School and will begin a master's in English at Trinity this fall. For those of you in need, the time has come when our classmates in certain graduate schools have completed their term and now we list and congratulate the lawyers of the Class of '83: BRUCE SILVERS is studying for the bar exam and will begin work in Hartford in September; CYNTHIA JASON is also studying for the bar, following her graduation from UConn Law School; JOHN D. LEMONICK has accepted a one-year judicial clerkship with the Honorable Albert R. Subers, a Pennsylvania Common Pleas Court Judge. Finally, ELLEN SOFFIN graduated from Duke Law School and \viii begin work with Pierson, Ball and Dowd in Washington, D.C. Continuing south, we hear word from AL STRICKLER who is marketing manager with Owens and Minor, Inc. in Richmond, VA.

In New York City, LOUISE BOND is currently working on her master's in social work, and working in a foster care center; JAMES FRANKEL is a copywriter for the J. Walter Thompson Company and writes that he is "enjoying it immensely. In many ways, advertising is the

perfect profession for a Trinity graduate . .. " TIM MARTIN "left the Dinosaur Dance Company last season when they relocated in New York. I have been working with the Ballet Theatre of Boston in the meantime and plan to pursue an internship in development at Jacob's Pillow this summer." Also in Boston is BETH PRUETT who continues to design corporate interiors for Offices Unlimited in the financial district of Boston - she specializes in law firms! DONNA HUNNICUTT is a claims representative with Industrial Indemnity in Orange, CA; JOE McALEER was recently married and has gone off to Oxford University, England to read for a Ph.D. in history.

I am happy and in love and hoping my other classmates are faring well." DOM RAPINI is starting a new business in Sportsgraphics, "producing laser quality artwork and word processing for application in athletic and sports medicine setting." HELEN ANNE PAGE is the second assistant manager at Laura Ashley in Providence, RI. In a recent letter from LAUREN McNABB I learned that she is back in the U.S. following two years as an administrative assistant to the resident director of PRESHCO - Trinity's study abroad program in Spain. Now Lauren is experiencing severe culture shock living in suburbia (Cohasset, MA) and working for the Defense Investigative Service - a division of the Department of Defense. While Lauren does not go "undercover," she does have a badge to prove that she is a "special agent" (but don't tell anybody!). SUSAN STANCZYK MARTINDALE is still a chemist at Uniroyal finishing her M.S. and writes that she is "starting full-time study for a Ph.D. in chemistry at Wesleyan." In a letter from AMY JOHNSON I learned that she took a leave of absence from Duke Law School to clerk for a judge in Washington, D.C. This summer she will travel to Hungary and will return to Duke in the fall to complete her degree. She will then work for Day, Berry, and Howard as an associate. During her stay in Washington, Amy saw PAULA RYAN who will be working at Milbank, Tweed in New York. MARLENE ARLING is working as an alcoholism counselor at the Regional Alcohol and Drug Abuse Center in Hartford. My long distance correspondence came from KEVIN SLATTERY, who is working for the Peace Corps in the Philippines. Kevin writes that he is "doing fine in paradise!" He will be returning to the States after November. In the meantime, I hope the rest of you are all well - happy and successful. I start a new teaching job in September which should prove amusing Freshman English - nothing like it in the world. Please drop me a line if life gets exciting! Class Agents: AnneN. Ginsburgh Todd C.

It was great to talk to so many of you this spring when we were making calls for the Alumni Fund. By the way, Trinity, TODD KNUTSON, DAVE LENAHAN, and I all thank you for yoUT generous contributions. Once again this year, we reached and surpassed our goal - and, we out-participated the Class of 1985 by one person. That's a bit close for comfort, so I hope next year we will show them they were just lucky this year. Many of our classmates are heading off to business school this fall. Among them

are TOWNSEND ZIEBOLD (Stanford), PETER RYAN (Harvard), and DAN BARACH (Harvard). I've also had numerous conversations with people in the midst of making a decision on whether or not to go right away. I assume the next column will have a longer list! KURT KUSIAK planned (in April, so this may be outdated by now) to move to Weisbaden, Germany to "administer systems contracts" for the Air Force. From Biloxi to Weisbaden ... JULIE SWEENEY married Philip Michael Husselbee in December of last year (see Weddings). This was in the midst of her second year of law school at the University of Maryland. After spending last summer studying at the University of Athens Law School in Greece, JOHN GILBERT returned to Temple University Law School. He will graduate next May. DALE SINDELL left for Spain in early June. She's departed the Big Apple in pursuit of other things. Perhaps by the next issue, we'll have more news to report. Mail takes a long time from Madrid. KATE VANWAGENEN hosted a farewell gathering for her before she left (just one in a long series of Kate's get-togethers ... ). Among others, AMY SNYDER and MICHELE ROSNER came in from their respective residences of Swampscott and New York. MARC SELVERSTONE also attended. We had a long and wonderful discussion about education (in general).

Marc is teaching in the Westport (Connecticut) school system, and deciding what comes next for his own education. JILL LEVY has taken a job in corporate reporting with Salomon Brothers. One day this spring I called Coopers and Lybrand looking for her but no one seemed to be able to tell me where she was. Now I know the reason why ... SUZANNE THEBAUT and her horse have moved to Haverhill, MA. Suzanne (I think anyway - either Suzanne or the horse) has a new job with INFINET, Inc., writing data communications software. That's some horse! And this is some postcard . . . SUE SHERRILL, and I quote someone (identity remains unknown), "she's still the personal chef for a very wealthy family - 2 planes, 4 homes, and 2 Monets!" SUE CHOINIERE has a new position with Paine Webber (thank you). She's a "bond analyst, financial institutions." LISA SPERRY is engaged to Joseph Lynch (LIZ LYNCH's brother) and plans an October wedding. She's working with Casner, Edwards & Roseman in Boston. CHRIS STANSON is also engaged another Trinity pairing ... Her fiance is PAUL BUNAES, Class of '83 (see Engagements).

LORIE MILLER GALLAGHER and her husband, Keith, have purchased a home. Lorie calles it her "first home," so maybe this is the first of many. When she's not busy with her new home, she spends

her time working as an advertising copywriter with Beam-Ladymon in Shreveport. BLYTHE BACHMANN was recently promoted to the position of publisher relations correspondent for the Institute of Scientific Information. She takes care of correspondence between her company and worldwide publishing companies whose materials they include in their products. REBECCA GRIFFIN recently returned from four months of study at Leningrad State J.Jniversity. STEVE KLOTS still works for Harper & Row, but I have yet to see my cookbook. Now that he's an advertising and promotion coordinator, I can't quite figure out his excuse. Perhaps that will be the contest for this issue - come up with a reason why no one has sent any recipes. This contest is open to everyone but cynics and DAVE LENAHAN (Lenny, don't take this personally, I just know what you think of my recipe contests!). The Brooks School counts LAURA DARBY among its ranks. She is the athletic trainer and will be teaching there in the fall. At last report, she was planning to spend the summer traveling with the United States National Rowing Team in Europe as a trainer. MIKE ZISKIND received an A.M. in public policy from the Duke University Institute for Policy Sciences and Public Affairs in May. He was also a presidential management intern finalist. Also in the graduate studies world, JIM KIRBY will be working on his doctorate in chemistry this fall. When he wrote, he was deciding between Georgetown and UMass at Amherst. KAREN WEBBER will be spending her first year of canto rial school in Jerusalem. Following that, she will return to New York's campus of Hebrew Union College, and finish her master's of sacred song. ROGER LEVIN is halfway (or just about) through medical school at the University of Maryland. He is a black-belt-intraining in Korean martial arts Tae Kwon Do. Whenever his hands are free from all of that, he plays the piano. In February, CYNTHIA BRYANT was promoted from editorial assistant to circulation promotion manager at World Press Review in New York City. She and MARTIN BIHL '85 have moved to Brooklyn. I've tried repeatedly to find a way to fit into MATT GOLDING's social schedule, but I'm too last minute, he's too busy, and I think he's afraid of what I might do to his knees. In any case, he moved from Belmont to Beacon Hill at the end of July and is enjoying his new home. KEVIN O'CONNOR finished his employment stint with the Senate Democrats in the Connecticut Senate in August. Much to their chagrin, he left them for law school in Boston. He has been replaced (but not forgotten) by another Trinity grad. It's fair to say that Hartford is not the same without you, Kevin. GRANT COCHRAN is still teaching at Canterbury which he describes as "very rewarding, but much too much work." He's in Baltimore doing theater (directing and singing) during the summer. JOHN GIBBONS is with United Technologies and wishes he were "back 'neath the elms ... " LEA SPRUANCE-BEARD is enjoying a new job as district secretary with a large corporation. "Life in Florida is sunny and hot," she writes. SUSAN LEWIS is a program assistant with Population Resource Center in Washington, D.C. During the final days of the annual fund drive this year, I had the chance to talk with several of our Boston contingent, including NEIL SCHNEIDER, GRAEME FRAZIER, and MIKE HAVARD. Neil is in real estate, and Graeme and Mike are

czars in the financial world. BRYAN CHEGWIDDEN worked for Ropes and Gray in Boston this summer. He had a short stint in the Washington office as well. Now, he's back at Yale for his final year of law school. MARIA SPARAGNA moved to Brooklyn during the summer. Her former roommate, HEATHER PECK, stiJllives on the upper West Side. Also relocating within the same city is LORRAINE SAUNDERS. She's moved to Stuyvesant Town. That's about it this time. Thanks to those of you who sent news; I hope all of you are well. Please drop me a note and let me know how you're doing and about whatever new directions you are pursuing. I'm still slaving away at the Capitol here in Hartford and living in the greatest apartment in the world. Well, maybe not. I lived through a root canal and four special sessions of the Connecticut Legislature, which is not nearly as dismal as it sounds. There are many bright spots. WRITE!! Class Agents: Todd M.

Hi folks! I'm experiencing an extreme case of jet lag as I write these notes. I just returned from my vacation with BARBARA ELlA to find a Trinity College AI路 umni Office manila envelope waiting for me (in fact it has been waiting for nearly two weeks). In order for this article to meet an already extended deadline, speedwriting is essential. I apologize if it resembles a shopping list! Word from LEE COFFIN is that yearbooks are ready. They may be picked up at the Alumni Office, if you're in the Hartford vicinity. The remaining books will be mailed by the end of September. MIKE SLOAD wrote to update us on his life in Cleveland. He's a product manager for Federal Process Company and has been doing quite a bit of traveling to exciting places like Las Vegas and Atlanta .. . "and to a few not-so-exciting places like South Dakota in the winter." He misses everyone back East but was able to make a trip to Sanibel, FL with JIM SCHACHT and JOE LUNGHAMER. "It's unbelievable how good vacations are when you have to earn them," he writes. (I know what you mean!!) And Mike, I'll definitely take you up on your offer to help. As a matter of fact, if anyone is interested in being a guest writer, I will gladly relinquish my power of the pen for a portion of one of the upcoming issues of the Reporter. A letter from STEVE KISH informs us of his change of residence to West Hartford with JOHN WILSON "since IRIC REX had the gall to leave for Cambridge to attend Harvard's School of Design." Thanks to BARB SIEBEL's magic touch, the furniture practically arranged itself in their new home. Steve reports that he joined TED COXE for a weekend of singing in Denver with other a cap pella singing groups. (Is Ted still debilitating your tennis game?!) NINA HOQUE, the woman who never slows down, spent her summer doing research for a law professor. In her "free time" she managed a weeklong visit to Hartford, then to Washington, D.C. and finally to the Expo in Vancouver. Last I heard, she was planning a trip to Europe for a few weeks. Somehow a French course was slipped in! She's looking forward to her second year of law school. Incredible! MICHAEL JACOBSON will be traveling in Asia for the next year studying the Chinese language and culture as well as exploring. Indonesia, Thailand and Burma are part of his itinerary.


PAM VON SELDENECK is now living and working in Morristown, NJ as an employee benefits representative for The Travelers Insurance Company. J. HUNTER BARR writes that he misses Trin, but loves Boston.

Sports therapy is her next move. MARK BRUCE GUTHRIE writes that he is attending automotive training school which he will complete early in 1987.

THOMAS BAKER, who has been attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will start his Ph.D. program in history this fall. RICK ANDREOLI is alive and well at Wake Forest University Law School and makes three points: 1) Dean's List at law school 2) Law school student government rep. 3) Trial bar team member. MATT BRADLEY is living it up in the Big Apple and continuing to enjoy his job at Macmillan Publishing as a publicity assistant. JOHN WORTHINGTON writes that he's recently purchased a major share in a restaurant (Harryman House Restaurant and Tavern) which he helps manage in conjunction with his job as an associate at Jackson Ventures International in Baltimore. (Do Trinity alums get a discount?!) TOM WILSON reports that he successfully completed his first year of law school, was working in Springfield, MA for the summer and is living with TONY CONSTANZO. MICHAEL ZIKOVICH reports a job change. He is now employed by Tillinghast, Nelson and Warren, Inc. (an actuarial consulting firm) in Hartford as a staff consultant. H.

He recently purchased a one-bedroom condo in Mt. Kisco, NY and can't wait to move in. LAURA HIGGS has moved to Boston and is working for Spinnaker Software in Cambridge.

Never a dull moment with those two - attested to by CAROLINE CARNEY who spent a weekend with them in the City on business. While in Paris I spent some time with ANNIE PROCTOR who has completed her master's degree in French with Middlebury College. She is job hunting at the moment and plans to stay in Paris. She wanted me to tell everyone hello and to look her up if in Paris (but you'll have to climb seven flights of stairs to reach her. The crewbie in her will never die!) Congratulations are in order for PE· TER MILLER '83 and KAREN RODGERS who will have a September wed· ding. Wow . .. that's great! At the time of this writing, JOE SHIELD is at Bryant College in Rhode Island slaving away at the N.E. Patriots' training camp. By the time this issue of the Reporter is printed, we will all know the outcome. According to Joe, whatever their final decision may be, it has been a privilege and an honor to work with the members, coaches and staff of what Joe believes to be the finest team in the NFL. JIM McALOON can be found working for The Travelers in Boston. He asked me to relay this message to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. KOCHNOWICZ: "Are you alright? Is it true you're engaged or is this a bluff?

Hello all! With this issue of the Reporter, the Class of '86 makes yet another symbolic passage from undergraduate life to alumnihood! As you all continue to find employment, change addresses, begin work or graduate school, purchase new cars, new wardrobes, get married, have babies, discover new lands, horizons, etc., be sure to keep the alumni office and/or me updated on all of these changes. Let me fill you in on the various newsbits which have found their way to my ears thus far. The Boston area is brimming with '86ers.

Similarly, TOM SHEEHY will be working in a beer factory in Ghana. (We all know what good beer they make in Ghana!) As for me, ... I am due to set my foot out onto Wall Street any day now, but (as of my July deadline) haven't made a firm decision as to exactly where. Like most of you, I'm sure, I've been thoroughly enjoying these final "responsibility-free" days. Best of luck to everyone!! Don't forget to write. Your classmates will be wondering what you've been up to!
