Talbot '91. While the defense is solid, Coach Sheppard's offense will be handicapped by the loss of last year's two top scorers. The offensive burden will fall into the aggressive hands of Cooie Stetson '91 and Margot Ring '92. The team is looking for a striker and the top candidates are sophomores Grace Cragin and Courtney Pattison . Trinity's transition game will be run by experienced midfield links Robin Cook '91, Lexi Rice '93, and Christina Davison '92.

After a slow start last season, the women's tennis team rebounded with six straight victories and a fifth- place finish in the New England Tournament. Losing only two players to graduation, this year's squad will have impressive depth. The team will be guided by senior Tri-Captains Anne Nicholson, Maria Nevares, and Heather Watkins. Nicholson, who was forced out of action due to a back injury last season, will return to the team this year fully recovered. Nevares posted an impressive 8- 3 individual record last season, and Watkins combines a strong baseline game with excellent net play. Sophomore Bo Hewitt played the number one position for Trinity as a freshman, and with a year of experience, will be one of the squad's best players. Other top returners include Laura Hubbard '93 and Bernadette Storey '93. Head Coach Wendy Bartlett (seventh year, 37-29-0) welcomes two top recruits to the courts this fall, Kristen Scholhamer and Anita Shin.

I have been meaning to tell you for some time now that the care and attention that is going into the development and publishing of the Trinity Reporter is evident and most appreciated. This magazine has become as welcome as each new season ...I on ly wish that it came more frequently than the seasons. The improvement in the tempo and texture of the magazine doesn't just happen ... a fresh creative vision is required and that is what has occurred. In the most recent issue, I particularly liked your lead piece on Guerilla Mozart and your feature on sons of Trinity commun icating either through the visual arts or the written word on sports. Not too long ago, I was at a convention at the Greenbrier and had a chance to catch up with George Will who was one of our speakers. He was wearing his Trinity tie as he addressed the group. The only thing that I thought might have been included in this issue was the complete text of Tom Gerety's commencement comments. You've clearly identified a mission for this publication and you should feel good about the results. I'm looking forward to your next issue. Richard Stockton '60 Recycling
WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL Head Coach Stan Ogrodnik (fourth year, 43-32-0) has upgraded the Trinity schedule to include all the top teams in New England. The team returns four letterwinners including Captain Grace Russell, who is a tremendous outside hitter. Supporting Russell will be Mary Birkel, Celeste Snow, and Megan Spann who are experienced and talented players. Coach Ogrodnik is confident that the team will be able to improve upon last season's 10-12 mark.
We were delighted to read the article about the campus recycling program that was included in a recent issue of the Trinity Reporter. Given the growing concern about our environment, it is urgent that institutions assume responsibility for the impact of their actions on the world around us, and Trinity deserves to play a leadership role in this area. Our pleasure with the new program, however, is tempered by the fact that the article did not acknowledge the previous existence of a campus recycling program . In 1977, we started the S&S Recycling Program, a wholly student-run activity that collected paper in a large green bin named
Bertha that we set up by Mather Hall. We received no funds from the student government or the administration- and little encouragement. Instead, all operating costs were met by selling the paper to a local recycling vendor and by sponsoring a series of small fund raising activities. Not only did we cover our costs, but we were able to generate excess revenues that we used to establish a small award, the S&S Environmental Award, to be given out each year to a student who was active in environmental affairs. We worked very hard to get S&S Recycling off the ground, and we were encouraged that another group of students took over upon our graduation. The program was obviously abandoned at a later date, and the campus handbook no longer lists the annual award. This raises some important questions: What happened to the earlier recycling program and environmental award? More generally, when did the campus commitment to environmental concerns disappear, and why? The answers may provide some important lessons for the current effort. We look forward to the long-tenn success of the recycling program.

The S & S En vironmental Award is alive and well ; it appears each year in the Trinity Bulletin along with the other prizes, and is awarded each year at Honors Day. This year's recipient was Steven R. Kemler '90, who spearheaded the current recycling program. The Editor
