Vol. LXVI1 No. 29 TRINITY COLLEGE, HARTFORD January 28, 1969

Senate Election Arouses Student InterestCurriculum, Judicial SystemConsidered Powerful Issues

Four organizers of the Radical Education Project (REP) pictured inWean Lounge. REP is a reincarnation of the Committee to Improve aTrinity Education (CITE), the College's first political party foundedtwo years ago. Most of CITE's platform demands have already been met.

$*D*S. Releases RadicalSenate Election PlatformA political platform that calls

for the elimination of the AirForce R.O.T.C, from the curricu- 'lum of the College, the creationof a new judicial system, the im-plementation of a full honor sys-tem, the establishment of a blackculture department and degree, andthe guarantee of personal freedomto all members of the collegecommunity was published Fridayby the S.D.S.

Known as the Radical EducationProject, the platform is intendedas a presentation of "the mostminimal of steps that must betaken by Trinity College if it, asan institution, wishes to move fromits present position of self-deluding tokenism and rhetoricalliberalism to a path which con-fronts the realities of America andthe World as they are and whichwishes to move toward a socialstructure enabling man to approachhis potentialities as a moralbeing."

Generally described as a suc-cessor to C.I.T.E., Steven Keeney'71, president of the S.D.S., pointed

. out that the Radical Education Pro-ject will have a different orienta-tion. A great many of its interests,stated Keeney, will be directedtoward the community of Hartfordand high school students in thearea. He noted that the platformis similar to that released byC.I.T.E. last year, although itdoes include several new sugges-tions.

"One of the basic functions ofthe R-.E.P. platform," remarkedthe S.D.S. President, "Will be tostimulate political discussion atthe College."

Keeney estimated that abouttwelve Senate candidates will en-dorse the platform and run on it.He declared that some of the candi-dates who have endorsed the plat-form already are not members ofthe S.D.S. He added that "Candi-dates are expected to have indi-vidual interpretations of these

just as many will have

individual proposals in additionto those listed here.

According to the introductionto the platform, the proposals areconcerned "solely with theinternal affairs of this institution.This is neither the scope nor theaim of our commitment to re-structuring, but rather the neededfirst step: the attempt to movethis institution to a recognitionof its commitment to the worldin which we live. Only after thiscommitment has been firmly es-tablished can. the institution, as awhole, deal with the larger andmore pressing problems at hand."

Senate elections are scheduled totake place today and tomorrow inwhat many feel is an atmosphereof renewed Interest in campus poli-tics. In conversations with a num-ber of people involved in Senateactivities, the issues most oftenraised dealt with curriculum revi-sion, the present state oS the judi-cial system, continued support ofthe race and poverty issue, theposition of ROTC on campus, andthe reorganization of the Senateitself.

Senate candidate William H.Reynolds, '71, stressed the greatneed for Senate revitalization.Once accomplished, he stated, anumber of administrative ideascould be implemented, such as •giving senators specific constit-uencies with whom they wouldhave to communicate every two•weeks, and requiring weekly re-)orts to the Senate from com-mittee chairmen. Reynolds alsoattacked the laziness of some pre-sent members stating that, "Senaterules, as outlined in the Consti-

tution, must be strictly enforced."Outgoing Senator Andrew Lipps,'71, agreed with Reynolds stating,"It (the Senate) has a vital func-tion to perform. A lot will de-pend on the new President andstudent body reaction." He addedthat the revision of the presentcurriculum was perhaps the mostimportant issue and offered Trin-ity a chance to " move out into theopen" as well as to " finally abo-lish basic requirements."

The SDS backed Radical Educa-tion Project (R.E.P.) in its plat-form, urged the College to "movefrom the present position of selfdeluding tokenism and rhetoricalliberalism..." To this end, it rec-ommended the elimination of

ROTC from .the curriculum," andend to military recruitment, basicrequirements, and the gradingsys-tem, and the complete rejection ofthe judicial report.

Same 104 students are runningfor the Senate this year, nearlyhalf of whom are freshmen. Elec-tions are also to be held, on Feb-ruary 5, for Senate President.Speculation as to candidates forthat office presently centers onWilliam H. Reynolds, '71, JamesGraves, '71, John Osier, '70, andDavid Steuber, '70. Some question -remains, however, whether asophomore is eligible for the pres-idency.

The following is a list of candi-dates for the Senate: 1972- DavidAppel, Robert J. Arceci, ThomasBirmingham, Lawrence Bruckner,Peter Crawford, Robert Ellis,Hank Fried, Michael Gilbov,

Planning Sub- CommitteesDiscuss College Policies"Trinity In the past has suf-

fered from a lack of planning",according to a statement by Mr.Robblns Winslow, secretary of theLong-Range Planning Committee.According to Winslow, three sub-committees are holding hearings"to examine the philosophy andpurposes of a liberal education".

The sub-committees are discus-sing three basic questions;" Whomshall we educate?", "To what pur-pose are we educating?", and "Whatshould be the College's relationto Its environment, local, national,and international?". Winslowstated that the sub-committees

yoting Date Approaches

Curricular Revision Nearly in Final FormThe long-awaited recommenda-

tions of the Curriculum RevisionCommittee will be presented tothe 'faculty in their final form bythe middle of next month.

Sub-committees are rapidlynearing completion of revisionson the original recommendationsreleased last November. The TRI-POD has learned that both thephysical education and the distri-bution requirement proposals areunder reconsideration.

Since the release of its report,the committee has been conductingmeetings with representatives ofother viewpoints. Last week, aninformal faculty group presentedrecommendations to the committeewhich included . abolition of thephysical education requirementand establishment <*i & committeethat would continually evaluatecurriculum at the College. At theheart of the group's proposal wasthe creation of colloquia at whichstudents and faculty would arriveat course offerings through "anopen discussion of wants and pos-sibilities," Dr. Robert A. Battis,chairman of the Revision Commit-tee while noting that the group

offered some "interesting sugges-tions," did not comment on theproposal's specifics.

A member of the informal groupobserved that his request for ahearing before the Committee opento the entire college community"still stands."

Director of Athletics KarlKurthappeared1 also with his depart-ment's suggestions for solution otthe physical education dilemma,

Kurth criticized the Committeefor failing to provide its physicaleducation program with clearly de-fined aims. His own proposal, heexplained, is a one-year jjrogramthat emphasizes competency inthree areas — swimming, physicalfitness, and a carry-over sport,Students who display proficiencyin all three as freshmen he con-tinued, would spend one year in anactivity program. Such an activitycould be in the form of inter-collegiate or intramural sports,independent "honor system" acti-vity, or physical education classes.The new facilities of the FerrisCenter, Kurth said with enthusi-

; asm, "will increase the breadth ofcourse offerings tenfold."

Part of the Committee's propo-sal on physical education policywill almost certainly remain un-changed. This portion concernsviolation of regulations set by thedepartment, which would, the re-port explains be dealt with throughnormal faculty-administration.channels.

In a telephone interview, Deanof the Eaculty Robert Fuller out-lined the mechanism of the facultyvote. He explained that each ofthe Committee's recommendationswould be regarded individually, andthat other faculty would have the

. opportunity to propose amend-ments. It was the Dean's opinionthat the Committee's final reportwould incorporate at least some of

. the suggestions made by its critics.Speculating on the nature of the

Committee's look at distributionrequirements, a reliable sourcesaid the formulation of "distribu-tion guidelines" was a distinct pos-sibility. Guidelines would be ofthe same form as the distributionrequirements, recommending 3half-year courses in two of threeareas — natural sciences, socialsciences, and the humanities

plan to deliver their final reportsto the planning. committee byMarch 1. Winslow commented thatthis would allow the committee tocomplete its, final report for de-livery to the. Trinity CollegeCouncil by "the middle of March".• According to Winslow, the firstcommittee, discussing "Whomshall, we educate?", believes that,the College " should continue ' torecruit disadvantaged students andexpect to have more disadvantagedstudents in the future" than arenow enrolled. Winslow also statedthat a proposal of the sub-com-mittee had reflected the feelingthat "the purpose of Trinity shouldbe to develop and maintain individ-uality and to place emphasis inail disciplines towards major con-temporary social issues su thatthe student might develop a sensi-tivity towards social issues andmight be able to deal with changecreatively and participate morefully in the decision making pro-cess of a democracy",

In a preliminary to the sub-com-mittee discussing the relation ofthe College to its environment, co-chairman John M. Verre '701isteda number of ways in which the Col-lege could become involved with thelocal community. He included"economic pressure on busin'essand city officials to look to thefuture of the SouthEndoftheClty","strengthening of the educationallobby in the State Legislature",and "improved housine In 'the im-mediate area through real estatepurchases and placement of stu-dents and faculty and relocation ofdisadvantaged neighborhood resi-dents". . • •

The sub-committee discussing"To what purpose are we educat-ing?" is "one step behind" the othersub-committees, according toWinslow. "They came up with a ten-tative short statement of purposewhich each member will elaborate

. on" at a meeting Monday, January27, he explained.

Boston Ballet Shows Talen%Edges Toward Fulfillment

Boston Ballet Company performs in Harvard's Loeb Theatre.

Copland PerformancesSensitive, Stimulating

by Baird Hastinas

. Musictoday, like so-much else,is often show-off. However, whenone of the distinguished composersof our time comes to conduct theHartford Symphony in six composi-tions whlchare not bombastic, wemay believe that all is not lost.

These, reflections serve as aprelude to a discussion of the Bush-

:\nell concert, of January 22, 1969-' conducted by Aaron Copland. Theprogram was devoted, to1 two ofthe composer's own pieces, andthree by friends and colleagues, aswell as Gabriel Faure's exquisitesuite of incidental music from

.. Maurice Maeterlinck's poetic play,, P.ELLEAS ET MELISANDE. Sibe-"ljus, Schoenberg, and of course/Debussy also have been inspiredto.compose music for this tragedy.,In the, case of Faure (1845.-1924)there are < four .selections, 'all1 of•which were illuminated by'the or- 'ohestra under Mr. Copland's im-peccable direction. The: \ solopassages were beautifully handled(particularly by Carl Bergner,flue, and Harvey Goldstein, oboe),and the strings always respondedsensitively to Mr. Copland's poisedbalancing of delicate sonorities.

The other selections on the pro-gram were composed within thelast three decades. The bouncy,witty Overture of the musicalCANDIDE by Leonard Bernstein(b. 1918) served as an admirablecurtain raiser. There is a closetie which binds Aaron Copland toLeonard Bernstein, and that is theperson of the great former con-ductor of the Boston Symphony, ,Serge Koussevitzky, who "dis-covered an championed" both men,along with so,many American andforeign composers of this century.. Arnold Franchetti (b. 1906) isrightly much admired at the. Col-lege for his superb one act opera,AS A CONDUCTOR DREAMS (pre-,miered here - by' the BarbieriFoundation in 1966). The attractive

Since its founding about a half-decade ago, the Boston BalletCompany, under the artistic direc-tion of E, Virginia Williams, hasmade steady gains toward trulyprofessional fulfillment. Onceagain last week this young companyedged closer to its ideal destinyin presenting a series of perfor-mances of varied selections atHarvard's Loeb Theatre. Unlikethe majority of this company1 s per-formances in the Boston.area, theaccent was placed upon intrinsictalent, that is, dancing without thecharismatic offerings of Balan-chine's soloists from the NewYork City Ballet. First on Saturdayevening's program was the Bostonproduction of Balanchine's "Pas deDix," a classical ballet formedupon the robust flavor of aHungarian folk dance. With musiccomposed by Glazounov, the balletshould be presented with the self-same punch which the melodic pat-tern provides.;Miss Edra Tothandher partner, Mr. David Moran, ledthe corps of eight dancers with ele-gance and aplomb;, and yet theballet did' not succeed in trans-mitting the full scope of exotic'charm to the extent to which it maybe exhibited. The main fault layin Moran's inability to pound outhis necessarily dashing rolewith sufficient strength andvirility. Miss Toth, however, cap-tured with adequate expertise herseductive personage, sending coldshivers of realization to the maleaudience in the first several rows.This young dancer possessespraiseworthy excellence of tech-nique and style, . yet whetherthrough youthful capriciousness orlack of professional accuracy, of-fers a performance that is notwithout its vague shortcomings.The corps remained, as it does sooften within the realm of the bud-

ding professional ballet company,"strangely there" loose, neverquite perfect, and blase.

Next on the program, setcleverly in relief against thedazzling splendor of the opener,was a modern piece entitled quitetranscendentally, "Reflections." Itconcerns itself with the variouskinds of relationships between oneman, played by Alfonso Figueroa,two women, and three men, eachsymbolic of his particular type ofinteraction. The abstractive pro-cesses one must undergo In orderto decipher the thematic patternof the ballet are extreme, whichmakes one a bit leery of NormanWalker's intention of choreog-raphy. It all seemed a bit aca-demic to me clouded over stillagain by the ambiguity of thedancer's expression. If the direc-tion manifested by this perform-ance of "Reflections" professedthe inadequacy of Walker's own di-rection, we may hardly chide theexecution of Boston's directress,Miss Duff: after all, in such acase, she would merely have beendoing what she had been told. Butif in fact she was responsible forthe nebulous message of "Reflec-tions," we may direct our criticismelsewhere. Aside from content, theballet does manifest the extra-ordinary wealth of expression inthe, modern ' dance form. Mr.Figueroa played his role with in-nocence and puerile unconscious-"ness. Miss Sarazin moved withstriking sensuality and womanlystrength. Ellen O'Reilly broughtforth glimpses of virginal loveli-ness and spright, exhibiting sparksof faithful communication of thedance form that I had only beforenoticed in Paul Taylor's New Yorktroupe. .

From that position on the dancespectrum the mood shifted again

to the opposite side, again tothe form of Balanchine's'ownclassical revival. The style of. theclassical ballet, typified, by- suchtitles as "Swan Lake" and- "Les;

Sylphides,",is as a rule, thematizedrather , simply and basically;;/relinquishing the strength of..per-formance - to either scenery, •or more meaningfully, to the ex-pert coordination of. the 'corps :dYballet. Owing to the habitually,barren stages upon Balanchine'spieces are performed, the stressthen is primarily upon the degreeto which the corps de ballet cafefulfill its ordered purpose. Sadlj?I must admit, that the Bostondancers feH short of the unique de*mands made by the choreogrrapher's style ' of composition!Miss Jerilyn Dana and Mr. LebGuerrard accomplished reasons-able proficiency of technique, faili-ing however, to put across thjeexquisiteness of Balanchine's in-tended ideal. Purely technicalartistry is not the mark of a realperformer, but adds only to thesparks provided by human radi-ance. • •• ';*

In closing the Boston Balletturned once again to the seemingeternal coffers of Balanchine'srepertoire, staging "Scotch Sym-phonies." Designed originally asa tribute to the charm of the High-land dancers, the performers are :fitted in authentic regional cos- .tumes to supplement the Scottishmotif. Immediate notice should beextended to Laura Young, whosesoothing continuity of expressionand exciting balance flattered theaudience, and soloist RobertPierce caught the military flairand precision of a Scottishguardsman. The corps was solid,but sometimes overpowering in the,manner through which its dancers

More of Industry's Offerings CriticizedBeing too baffled to do any-

thing very 'creative this weekend,we will continue with our merryalbum reviews: ELVIS (RCA, LPM4088) has a soundtract from lastmonth's TV special. It's a nicepiece of nostalgia to have around,though its merit otherwise isn'toutstanding. Presley sings some ofhis old hits with his amazingThroat, and has some dull speak-ing parts. (B minus)

THE LOADING ZONE (RCA, LSP9959) isn't new, but has gone virt-tually unnoticed, and , deservessome attention, even if belated. It'spretty plastic soul (says one notedcampus art authority), but is con-sistent and makes friends easily.Linda Tillery is a fine mama onlead vocal, and her Berkeley back-ups lay down, all the cliches you'dever want to hear. 'No More Tears'is a really fine tune. (B minus)

BROTHERHOOD (RCA, LSP-4092) are a bunch of ex-Raiders,and they sound it.. An overly com-mercial album,, which will makeyou smile here and there (whenyou recognize a familiar figure).One has to doubt their intensity.At least you may hear an awe-some assemblage of instrumentsused to heighten this or that mood(C plus); SYNTHESIS (Cryan Shames,Columbia CS 9719) is surprisinglynice. Really decent arrangementsmake most of the bands good lis-tening. Guess they've matured.Hogey Carmtchel's 'BaltimoreOriole' is one where they havereally good feel. (B)

SOUIDE (Jose Feliciano, RCALSP-4045) is a good collection ofgood Feliciano. Still somewhat ofa specialty, his way Is difficultfor some to get comfortable with.Singles 'Hitchcock Railway, 'MyWorld Is Empty Without You' and

by D.J. Reilert'Hey Baby' are .included. His gui-tar is excellent, singing and pro-duction of high quality. (B-B plus)

THE ELECTRIC FLAG (Colum-bia CS 9714) Somewhat of a dis-appointment in selection of materi-al. But scoring is great in therhythm section, and Buddy Mile'sdrumming and vocals are out-standing. 'Sunny is representative

of the calibre of the issue, with agood vocal,1 balance and tightnessthere, but overarranged and gettingtedious. We miss you, MikeBlodnifield. (B)

BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS(Columbia CD 9720) We don'treally miss you, AlKooper. Reallynice album, once you. get used toits switching between jazz horns

and rock necks. Vocals are better;than on album one, but materialisn't as good. It is so weak Insome places to sound a bit con-trived. The makings of an excel-lent two-way group. 'God BlessThe Child' is a must. (B)

FROM THE BEGINNING ( B.B.King, Kent KST-S33) A limited,two record collection of tracks bythe Boy. You may note the repe-tition of chord pattern, but that'shis way. There are almost eightyminutes of things like 'Troubles,Troubles, Troubles', 'Everyday..!Have The Blues' and 'Sweet iMfAngel'. 'i

Copland in Hartford... (Continued from page 2)unforgettable series of master-works, of which this is one. Theeight movement suite was per-formed far better than one usuallyhears in the theatre, but thoughthe program notes remind us thatwe are following the emotions ofthe bride and her husband as theyprepare their new farmhouse inPennsylvania, I missed the stageaction.

The LINCOLN PORTRAIT, alsoone of Mr. Copland's war timeworks, is a much more seriousone. It calls for a narrator — onthis occasion the outstandingsinger, Marian Anderson. MissAnderson is truly a great interpre-*tive artist -- with technique, dic-tion, and devotion all too rare in

any age. To note that she was afull partner in this performance Isto render to Caesar that whichis Caesar's!

An the works on the program arefamiliar, easy-to-take modernworks. Yet, under Mr. Copland,each one emerged fresh and fullyachieved. When a composer alsois as accomplished a performer asMr. Copland, the results with anycollaborators are bound to be stim-ulating. Obviously and infectiouslythe composer is devoted to musicand to communication. Hisgraciousness and his humanity arequalities everyone can admire —in addition to his assured place asa major American artist of ourtime.

"The Alchemist" by Ben Jonsonhas been chosen by the Jestersfor their next production. Casting .was recently completed for theplay, a comedy. Jonson, a con-temporary of Shakespeare alsoauthored "Volpone," which re-cently appeared in the cinema as"The Honey Pot."

"The Alchemist" relates thestory of a butler who attempts,upon his master's absence, to usethe house as a base for all mannerof illegal money-making schemes.The butler Face (Dick Dale) andSubtle (Chip Keyes) head the castin the difficult play, which Daledescribes as "in line with whatTrinity drama is trying to accom-plish." This goal, he asserted, isto give developing actors the ne-cessary experience while present-ing high quality drama. He alsostressed the lack of commericalpressure as being an importantfactor in the artistic success of thedrama program.

According to Dale, the number ofauditioners for "The Alchemist"was not great. He noted, however,those involved are quite enthusias-tic and that "everyone wants to putin the time." Other members of thecast include Richard Hoffman,*'

Once More With FeelingAfter more than a semester of somber quiescence,

the student body is returning slowly to the travail ofcampus politics. Once again it seems prepared toarticulate its demands and strive for theirfulfillment.

Last year, students responded vigorously to thefrustrating realities that they witnessed on thiscampus and beyond its ivory towers. The Senateserved as the forceful representative of students whoregarded themselves as firm advocates of progressrather than humble petitioners of privileges.

It is appropriate and vital that the Senate to beelected this week assume that same role. Many ofthe factors that motivated individuals to action in1968 still flourish: there are half a million American

The Radical Education Project Senate Platformrepresents the first effort made "this year by anystudent group to define their political, academic andsocial objectives with reference to the College. Sincethe dissolution of C.I.T.E. there has been a need forsuch a presentation of goals.

While the introduction impresses us as shallowrhetor ic , we find the platform to contain'recommendations that are worthwhile and deservingof examination.

We agree that the relationship of the military to. this College must be reconsidered. It is questionablewhether the Air Forci? R.O.T.C. program, whosestructure is determined by the Pentagon, be grantedcourse credit by the College. Furthermore, it is notat all clear that an individual appointed by art

soldiers in Vietnam and the draft calls are gettinglarger; the racial conflict within the country isbecoming more intense as it gives birth to ominousundercurrents; and Richard M. Nixon reigns insteadof Lyndon B. Johnson.

It would be self-deluding to deny that change hascome to the College. Clearly, the attitude of thenew administration is more enlightened than that ofits predecessor. However, students must recognizethat the outlook of the administration is often quitedifferent from their own, and that outsideconsiderations may inhibit the administration'sdesire for radical innovation. It is the responsibilityof the student body to advance its aspirations withimagination and initiative.

outside body without the approval of theCommittee on Appointments and Promotionsshould be allowed to teach a course at the College.We urge the Committee on Curriculum Revision tocarefully evaluate the appropriateness of the entireprogram.

The recommendations concerning the curriculumare constructive although many of them alreadyexist within the present structure. The abolition ofthe grading system and the implementation of anhonor system would be a decisive step towardachieving an ideal academic environment.

As the introduction implies, the platform is littlemore than bare foundation for wider action.Hopefully, those who run on it will devote theirenergies to its'expansion and realization.

Confidentially...On several occasions, the TRIPOD has attempted

to interview Dr. Robert A. Battis about the work ofthe Committee on Curriculum Revision. Oneachoccasion,, however, he has declined to respond toquestions. We feel that such a policy is hardly in thebest interest.of the College or the Committee itself

Dr. Battis has devoted a great deal of his time toserve as chairman of the Curriculum Committee,and he obviously wishes to protect the report frommisrepresentation. Nevertheless, we feel that theCommittee has a responsibility to keep the entireacademic community informed of its work at alltimes. Any attempt to regulate the flow of

information is unjustified, and is bound to have adetrimental effect upon the final draft of the report.

It is in the best interest of the Committee to bereceptive to new ideas and criticism; it should beanxious to p romote , intense communicationbetween itself and the rest of the College, However,the involvement of the College in the preparation ofthe report is distinctly curtailed if it has onlylimited knowledge of the' Committee's discussions.

An informal group of faculty members hasrequested that the Curriculum Committee opentheir meetings to the public. We strongly endorsethe proposal and urge that the Committee adopt itimmediately.

LETTERS to the editor'spring is near'

TO THE EDITOR:

Spring is near upon us, and onceagain Trinity College is showingsigns of life. Of a particularly re-freshing quality is the SDS-R.epSenate Platform published lastweek. While it is only a skeletaltake-off point for the task whichneeds be done at Trinity, I findit encouraging, and although I havequestions about the position state-ments on the Air Force ROTCProgram I am in complete agree-ment with the academic demands,advocated in the document. Hope-fully, the intelligence displayed bythe student body in last year'ssenate elections will prevail again.

We have just finished an atro-ciously lethargic semester, thelikes of which we thought had dis-appeared forever.Those who vocif-erously advocated "action plus"last spring failed to deliver whenwe got down to the nitty gritty ofimplementation. Most of the senatedeserted its president, and havebecome, along with the rest of thestudent body, a society of lotuseaters, content to let the admin-

istration do all the work. Gener-ally, I have been pleased with the;'actions of the Lockwoodteam, with,the notable exception of the judi- •cial system, but as is painfullyapparent if one reads the reportof the curriculum revision com-mittee, the courage is still miss-ing to vave a curriculum revolu-tion rather, than a mere revision.In other words, it is up to thestudent'body, and I congratulatethe SDS-Rep group for taking theinitiative, to nudge (perhaps pullis a better term) the administra-tion to the position of educationalleadership where it certainlyshould want to be.

We as students must stop hear-ing without listening, graspingwithout believing, and realize thatits our education, our student gov-ernment, and obviously ourcollege, and that if we make upour minds to it, we can do what-ever we think is best. If we can'tmuster the energy or the courage,I, for one, see very little pointto our being here.

William H. Reynolds '71.'.

Nixon's choice for the Cabinet po-sition at head of Health, Educationand Welfare. Forty-three-year-old Robert Finch's friendship withNixon dates back to 1947. He wasmade Nixon's assistant in 1958and two years later became Nixon'scampaign manager. In 1964 hemanaged George Murphy's Cali-fornia campaign and two yearslater he became Lt. Governor ofCalifornia under Ronald Reagan.

Nixon's Secretary of Labor,George Shultz, was Dean of theChicago Graduate School of Busi-ness when he received the Cabinetoffer. He also was a director ofBorg-Warner, the General Trans-portation Company, and the Stein,Roe and Farnham funds. He hasremained opposed to Governmentinterference even in major dis-putes and "deplores" the increasein strikes by public employees.

governor George Romney has beenappointed head of Housing andUrban Development (HUD). Beforebecoming Michigan's governon,Romney worked (1932-38) as alobbyist for Alcoa and later be-came president of AmericanMotors. His personal holdings areestimated to near $1,500,000, Asgovernor, Romney, says TIME, has" done little to resolve the problemsof the poor, particularly in urbancenters." The Detroit riots provedit.

E OTHER END OF THE STICKNixon's Cabinet: A Synopsis

by Steve Keeney and Witter Brooke * e Z*s °" e of, t h e key' • ' for Eisenhower's nomination at the

Richard Nixon Is now the fif-teenth of America's presidents tobe elected with less than-a majorityin the thirty-seven elections- sincethe first, near-efflcent attempt totally the popular vote. Nixon edgedinto office with a skimpy 43.5% ofthe vote at a time of serious andintense internal turmoil. Just about61% of: the voting age population,or about 65% of the registeredvoters,, thought it somehow worth-while to go to the polls this year.This means Nixon was elected withabout 28% of the registered elec-torate behind him. It 's been alongwhile since a president has re-ceived a share of the popular voteas small as Nixon's - only in Wil-son's first election in 1912 is therea modern equivalent. But no othermodern president has entered hisfirst term--as Nixon will—facingan opposition Congress. If popular isupport is lacking, big business isnot. :

Nixon, who comes into officeunder the shadow of, among otherthings, having been accused in1952 of "mis-managing" campaignfunds given him by California

*' businessmen, and his sidekickSpiro Agnew, who also will takeoffice having been similarily ac-

- cused of conflicts of interest byThe New York TIMES, have broughtwith ihem a! singularly bland Cabi-

Republican i convention. AfterEisenhower's election, he was ap-pointed Deputy Attorney Generaland, four years later when At-torney General Herbert Brownellresigned, Rogers took his place.The Republican defeat in 1960sentWilliam Rogers - - a n d RichardNixon -- back to the law office.He joined the New York City -Washington firm of Royall, Koegel,Rogers, and Wells where, by thetime the Nixon bid reached him,he had become a senior partner.The firm, which deals almost ex-clusively with corporation law, hasamong Its clients TwentiethCentury Fox, Associated Press,and the International Herald Tri-bune. He was also a partner in theDreyfus Fund, one of the mostnotable mutual funds. It was fromsources such as these that Rogersdrew his $300,000 a year income.

. Nixon law partner John Mitchellis Nixon's choice for Attorney

: General. He is a 55-year-old sonof a Detroit businessman and agraduate of Fordham UniversityLaw school. As a high echelon bondlawyer he arranged municipal bondfinancing for cities and statesacross the country, including NewYork Governor Nelson Rocke-feller. He became involved withthe Nixon campaign when theirfirms merged in 1967 and subse-quently- aided Nixon as a cam-

net plucked from the heights of paign manager. It was Mitchell whoAmerican big business. The Nixon opposed a Nixon attack on Georgecabinet is certainly one of the most "Wallace and Mitchell was amongaffluent in America's history: evenTIME: magazine quietly describesthem as "an uncommonly success-ful lot," They are, at the same time,a relatively inexperienced groupwhen'' it comes'to governmentthough many were top-leveladministrator's in America'sbusiness establishment, somethinKthat seems to Be"their primaryqualification for office. It's an all-white (Whitney Young, Jr., execu-tive director of the Urban Leaguewas:Tuiriored: to have turned downa Nixon bid), all male, all Republi-can Cabinet with an average ageof 53.8 old years. Finally, and notunexpectedly; it is fair to considerthe ^ Cabinet a conservative one.

William'Rogers, our new 55-year^oid Secretary of State, beganhis friend of the White House care-er in-1947 as counsel for the SenateSpecial- Committee to Investigatethe National Defense Program.During the second world war hehad held a Navy commission and,even earlier, he had graduatedfrom Cornell Law School. In 1952

those who counselled the nomina-tion of Spiro Agnew for VP. Hisaverage yearly income, at the timeof the Cabinet bid, was estimatedto be in excess of $200,000.

Ex-Hawk

Ex-Hard-nosed hawk MelvinLaird "is Nixon's Secretary ofDefense. His sixteen years in theHouse, 14 of which were spent onthe House Appropriations Com-mittee (which handles the pentagonbudget), began In 1953. It was fromthat post that he became a front-running McNamera critic, attack-ing McNamera as did other CapitolHill conservatives for interferringwith "the professional judgement ofthe military brass" and for beingslow in procurring additional wea-pons systems. Laird is the authorof A HOUSE DIVIDED—AMERI-CA'S STRATEGY GAP, publishedin 1962. In it, he argued for aunity of foreign and military policy,strong nuclear deterrance, andcontinued nuclear testing. He at-

tacked the United Nations as"dominated by new, unstable na-tions" and blamed Washington'sfailure to intervene in the 1956Hungry crisis on an "immoral andsuicidal willingness to act as ifthere were Communist legiti-macy." It was, in short, as TIMEmagazine put it, "the rockiest ofhard lines in military and foreignpolicy." In 1964 Laird was madechairman of the Republican plat-form committee, successfullyaligning his views with those ofthat year's Republican hopefulBarry Goldwater. Laird comesfrom a family that owns the prin-cipal Interest in a large Wisconsinlumber company and has himselfa portfolio of stocks held in trustand valued at something around$1,000,000.

Secretary of the Treasury, 63-year-old David Matthew Kennedy,first learned finance at the FederalReserve Board before receiving agraduate degree from Rutgers.Like Romney, David Kennedy callshimself a "strick Mormon." Withhis Rutgers degree in his pocket,Kennedy joined Chicago's Con-tinental Illinois National Bank &.Trust Company were he first be-came president and then chair-man. As chairman of ContinentalIllinois he became one of MayorDaley's close advisors and earneda salary of more than $230,000 ayear plus stock options. He is adirector of International Har-vester, Commonwealth Edison,Pullman, Abbott Laborlties, Swift& Co., United States Gypsum,COMSAT (Communications Satel-lite), Equitable life, and SearsRoebuck & Co. as well. He isalso a Trustee of the Council onLatin America. Says TIME, "Ken-nedy bristles when he is describedas a fiscal conservative. He wasai least conservative enough in1965, though, to turn down Lyndon ,Johnson when the President of- ,fered Kennedy the top Treasuryjob."

Hie Most Notorious

"Alaska's most celebrated en-trepreneur" is 49-year-old WalterHickel. He is also Nixon's mostnotorious Cabinet member, havingjust won an acidic fight with theSenate who withheld endorsementof his Cabinet nomination longest.His private holdings, worth anestimated $14,000,000, include thechairmanship of Anchorage Na-tural Gas and directorships withAlaska Pipeline Company andTrans-America Title Company. Hewas elected Alaska's second

governor In 1966. As Alaska'sgovernor, the new Secretary of theInterior consistently fought con-servation, attacked the fishingrights of the Eskimos, and con-solidated his oil empire.

Sixty-year-old Maurice Stans isSecretary of Commerce. Hestudied accounting at night and, in1928, joined Chicago's Grant & Co.

He built it into one of the coun-tries foremost accounting firms.He became Budget Director duringthe Eisenhower years, opposing thetax cut in 1959-60 and "an autho-rotative advocate of fiscal con-servatism." Before his Cabinetbid, Stans was grossing about$250,000 yearly, as president

Ijhe percentage shot. But in theirSeal the Bantams started fouling,atnd the Ells capitalized on thisto take a substantial 11 point lead.$.t times the Yale front three playedcatch off the backboard, putting theijall up until someone could put itin. Towards the end of the half

, the Yale squad tired, but began* fouling and turning the ball over., This enabled Trinity to close the

gap to 32-25 at the half.In the second half the lack of

a bench for the bantams proved'; detrimental as Coach Joe Wilson

was unable to spell his startersfor any length of time. In anattempt to gain some height under-«eath 6'6" Jack Barthwell was put^n at center, but even this hadlittle effect. The tired Bantamsquad was hard pressed to stayin the game, but to credit, they^never gave up. Towards the end of

the game Coach Wilson emptied thebench, and even the last five gavethe Elis a good battle hence the91-62 final score.

The Trinity frosh played a goodfloor game, and had they beenslightly taller, it would have beenat least an even battle. Their gameplan was to control the ball, andtheir seemingly disorganized of-fense was designed with this as anend, but the Eli fast break andheight differential took their toll.The deadly outside shooting ofGuards Dave Nichols and Al Floydkept them in the game. The fewtimes that Tom McGuirk and SamMerrill were able to get loose intoa one on one situation, they wereusually able to score. Al Floyd gotinto foul trouble early in the game,and was forced to sit out much ofthe second half.

Dave Nichols was the high scorerof the game with 24 points. Cap-tain Scott Michel was high scorerfor the Ells with 22. Other highscorers for the Bantams wereTom McGuirk with 16, and SamMerrill with 14. ' . .

double figures In the high scor-ing affair., Trinity's admirable perfor-mance against Boston Universityenables the team to enter the se-cond half of the season with a 5-6mark. Last Wednesday, the Ban-tams traveled to New Longon andemerged with a thrilling 90-88 winover Coast Guard. The contest wasa see-saw game throughout, withthe Cadets generally holding theedge. In fact, the Coasties led,65-56, with 14 minutes remainingin the contest. A comeback byTrin offset the New Londoners'advantage, and the game was tied,6 6-all with nine minutes to go.

• Trinity eventually took the lead forgood and held off the midshipmento post its fifth win of the season.

Joe Pantalone was outstandingin the Trin win, tallying 35 andpicking up vital Bantam rebounds.Howie Greenblatt also had a hotnight for the Hintoppers, gather-ing 27 points.

In discussing several importantupcoming games, Shults foundroom for optimism after the BUcontest. "We plan to work hardthis week in preparation for someimportant home games upcoming."The Bants have no scheduled con-rtests this week, except for an ex-hibition in New York against theNew York Athletic Club. Shultsfeels that the home contest against ••the University of Rochester willbe the toughest game of the sea- ,son. This seems likely, as URbeat BU by five earlier in theseason.

Terriers Crush Trinity;Bantams Nip Cadets 90-88

fay Paul SachnerA highly favored Boston Uni-

versity squad came to.HartfordSaturday expecting- and receivingtheir seventh win, but not untilthe Trinity Bantams threw themthe scare of their lives, in B. U.'s109-92 triumph.

The largest field house crowd of.the season came to see the highscoring Terriers open up a quick10-0 lead and completely dominatethe first half. The crowd also sawa courageous Hilltopper secondhalf, with Coach Robie Shults'charges closing the gap to ninepoints with minutes remaining,only to be stifled by the tallerBoston team.

As the game commenced eachTrinity fan wanted to run out ofthe field house and hide, as B.tJ.put onanawesomedisplayofshoot-ing, hitting on their first five for

a quick 10-0 edge. A pair of freethrows by Larry Dnpont finallyput Trin on the Scoreboard, butit was all Boston for the firsthalf as the Terriers shot wellover 50% throughout the period.The end of the half saw Trinitydown, 60-39 with BU substitutingfreely.

The opening minutes of the sec-ond half were continued disasterfor the apparently outclassedBants, as -BU opened its biggestlead of the night, 70-43, withinminutes. But it was at this pointthat Trinity began to come back.The entire team, stifled in thefirst half, came alive. Joe Panta-lone showed, his usual form underthe bucket and from the corner,Howie Greenblatt began hittingfrom the outside. But the biggestfactors came from Larry Dupont,Tom Sasali, and Greg Siiepard, ailof whom sparked the team with thefirst really balanced scoring at-tack Trinity has amounted thisseason. "This balanced scoringwas encouraging," saidShults afterthe game. "We can't depend solelyon Greenblatt and Pantalone andthis balance will definitely help

us against teams in our owileague."

This balanced scoring certainljhelped Trin against a team ouiof its own league, as the field housewent wild when the Bants closecthe gap to 82-73 with 10 minutesremaining. Unfortunately. Btfrantically put back its startersthus sufficiently cooling dowiTrinity and emerging with a 109-92 win, but not before the Hill-toppers nearly pulled off one o:the biggest upsets of the collegeseason against New England'sfifth-rated team.

The scoring duel which was tooccur between Trin's Pantaloneand BU's Jim Hayes was quite aduel indeed with Hayes emerginga two point winner, scoring 29.Pantalone followed the BU starat 27, with both players hittingfor 11 field goals. Pantalone wasaided by a strong supporting eastwith Greenblatt having an "off"night at 16, and Shepard, Sasali,and Dupont contributing 13, 12,and 11, respectively.

The Trinity hockey team's questfor its first victory since return-ing to action following the Christ-mas break was stymied for thesecond straight time as it lostto the Yale J.V.'s on Saturday bythe score of 4-2.

After scoring eighteen goals in •two games just before the holidayvacation, the Bantams havemanaged only four in their lasttwo contests. This sudden lackof scoring punch is somewhatmysterious. It may be that, des-pite a week's practice before thegame with MIT, the team was ef-fected more than usual by the

Perhaps it was overconfidenceor maybe the lingering effects ofa long Christmas vacation. What-ever the cause was, it resultedin the varsity swimming team in-curring a sound dunking by theCadets of the Coast Guard Aca-demy, 58-37.

In their first competition sinceDecember 14th, the Bantams couldonly manage four first place fin-ishes, two of them by Mike Wright,who was swimming hard for the

A big difference in the meet wasthe Cadets ability to finish secondand third when not finishing first.This resulted in a steadily mount-ing lead which the Bantams couldnot overcome.

The Bantams will have a chance• to even their record at 2-2 against,

a tough Springfield College team.ina home meet on February 5th. AfterSpringfield, the team hits the roadfor J;hree meets against M.I.T.,Amherst and Bowdoin, before re -turning home on February 21stagainst Union.

The swimmers have a toughschedule ahead of them, and ac-cording to Coach Robert Slaughter,only hard work and very muchneeded dedication to swimmingtaing's any hope of a successfulseason for the Trinity team.

The frosh swimming squad madeanother bid for a victory lastSaturday-against Coast Guard atNew London, but were unsuccess-

ful, going down by a 35-57 margin.The Medley Relay team of K.

long layoff. Actually, the Bantamsbounced back well after a sub-par performance against the Engi-neers. Indeed, captain Kirk Marck-wald claims that the team was" outscored, but not outplayed" inits match against the Yale scrubs.' Trinity held its own against the

Ells in the first period. Yale led1-0 at the end of that period, butthe Bantams were still very muchalive. However, the second periodwas Trinity's undoing. The teamlet up and the Elis built a com-manding 3-0 lead. In the thirdperiod, Trinity finally played upto Its potential as it outscored Yale2-1. Unfortunately, this belatedrally fell short as the Bulldogsheld on to win.

Kirk Marckwald, one of the fewBantams to retain his scoringtouch, rammed in a goal on afine assist from Frank Stowell,Freshman Scott Phillips scoredthe loser's other goal during ascramble In front of the nets.

There were others who playedwell in defeat. Lineman HenryBarkhausen, who may be Trinity'sbest all-around hockey player,performed up to his potential al-though he did not score. Defense-men John Milliken and Tom Sav-age managed to keep the Yale linein check most of the time. Depend-able goalie Sheldon Crosby strug-gled valiantly to keep the Bantamsin the game,

The team is slowly getting backinto stride. It remains for the once-potent offense to recover the scor-ing touch if the Bantams are to getback to the winning habit.

The sabre team was the onlysegment of the Trinity attack ableto fence effectively. The combinedthree-round sabre record was 7-2.Unfortunately, the Trinity foilswere only 1-8, which seems to ac-count for their defeat. The epeeswere 5-4,

Concerning individual break-down, sabremen Marshall Garri-son and captain Joel Greenspanwere both 3-0, while Paul Cullenwas 1-2.

John Gaston and Jack Luxemburgeach compiled a 2-1 record in theepee, Marshall Kennard was 1-2in the epee.

Stu Hamilton was the only Trin-ity man able to pick up a victoryin the foil.

The Trinity problems in the foilmay not have been completely theirfault. A short in the electricalmechanism that records thetouches was discovered in themiddle of the foil action, after

several Bantams had beendefeated. Several of the Southerntouches, therefore, might havebeen due to an electrical malfunc-tion rather than their skill.

Captain Greenspan commentedafter the match, "It looks like oursabres are really solidifying.Seven of nine is pretty good. Losingeight of the foils is, of course, areal disappointment."

Greenspan also commented.onthe tremendous amount of competi- •tion still going on among the team .members. He stated, "Our thirdspot In the epee is still open. Wehave used three; different men atthat spot so far. This week, inpreparation for our triangularmeet, the coach will work mainlyon epee and foil."

The Bantams, with electricalproblems hopefully solved, willentertain Norwich and Falrfield ina triangular match Saturday at1:30 in the Washington Room,

by Pete WentzIn last Friday' s TRIPOD, editor-

in-chief David Green wrote aneditorial entitled "Setting Priori-ties" in which he blasted theathletic department in general andIntercollegiate athletics in partic-ular.

Mr. Green has continued an ap-parent TRIPOD editorial practiceof blaming every fault of the Col-lege on the athletic program. Wehave been reluctant In the past tocriticize these comments becausesometimes they have been justi-fied. However when Mr. Greenpresents an overly biased and prej-udiced statement such as appearedlast Friday, some defense isneeded.

In the first place, Mr. Greencharges that a $47,000 deficit wasincurred in the athletic departmentlast year. One wonders whyanewsstory wasn't printed relating thisfact. Why did Mr. Green wait untilhe could nail the athletic centerbefore releasing this fact? Whydoesn't he tell us if the AustinArts Center operated at a profitlast year, or the library? Mr.Green seems to feel that since theathletic center lost money it shouldbe cut back without even investi-gating other areas.

Additionally, he does not docu-ment this $47,000 other than to sayit was "revealed at a facultymeeting". Why aren't we given abreakdown on what made up thedeficit? Maybe some staff salarieswere included in this figure, buthow are we to know?

Secondly, concerning this defi-cit, the athletic department couldprobably substantially decrease Itby charging students for admit-tance to games and by charging theparticipants for the equipmentused. They don't, however, andthis saving to students is not re-flected in the $47,000.

Thirdly, extending a point al-

ready made, Mr. Green Infersthat just because athletics coatTrinity $47,000, they should be cutback, This kind of logic is absurd.

More students at Trinity are in-volved in intercollegiate athleticsthan any ohter extra-curricularactivity. The TRIPOD itselfdoes not make a profit for the Col-lege and less people work for itthan play sports. By Mr. Green'slogic, therefore, it would seem thatthe TRrPOD should be cut back,since it operates at a deficit andserves less people. Publishing onlyonce a week would save the Sena'smoney which could be used to in-:crease salaries if the Senate sodesired. ,

Fourthly, Mr. Green wonderswhy the athletic department.is solarge in relation to other depart-ments and recommends a cut backin personnel. A cutback may wellbe needed in the athletic depart-ment, but let's not stop there. Ac-cording to statistics in the WinterAlumni Bulletin and the CollegeCatalog, there are 15 modernlanguage professors for nine ma-jors, ten physics professors foreight majors, and six chemistryprofessors for 11 majors. Yetin the history department, the mostpopular major, there are only11 professors for 115 majors;Why does Mr. Green not advocatecutting back on physics, languages,or chemistry professors, espe.ci"ally since the proposed currictiWwill cut back on the requ4r,e<j

courses in these departments?This reduction in faculty w°ulflseem to save the College more OiW1
