Thesigns ranged from "They're here,they're queer, get used to it" to"If you support gay rights thendrink on SpringWeekend."

Amy Tatko'93 organized themarch. Her initialreason was thathomosexualityhad never beendiscussed whenshe was growingup, and now i t wastime to end the si-lence. "There's aconstant need formaintenance workto remind peoplethat the problem[of ignorance] stillexists," said Tatko.

| f one were asked "What would be theideal weekend at Trinity College?" the

I response would be a description verysimilar to the Spring Weekend of 1993.

Students hoped for a weekend full of sun, andwere treated to three days that were almost "withouta cloud in the sky." It wasn't too hot; it wasn't veryhumid. Unlike last year, when rain of Biblical propor-tions dampened the spirits of students, this yearprovided flawless weather.

Both the Violent Femmes and Black Sheep gaveexcellentperf ormances while students danced, baskedin the sun, and celebrated life.

Students brought couches, coolers, barbecues,refrigerators, pools, chairs, and blankets out onto theLife Science Quad for "The Ideal Spring Weekend."

There were no major incidents reported to Cam-pus Safety. For what some would argue is the biggestdrinking weekend of the year, there were fewermatters for security to deal with than on an averageweekend during the term.

Congratulations are in order for the men andwomen that make up the Trinity College ActivitiesCouncil for their stupendous efforts in putting lastweekend together.

J.L.B.

This week, Around Trinity hasa theme. Paying homage to one ofthe finest tabloid-soft-news-gossipyforms of media ever committed toprint, Around Trinity is proud to hostr. V. Guide's CHEERS AND JEERS.

Cheeis

A very big-time Cheers andthe ail-too definitive Kudos to thoseorganizations on campus that had towork during this, the mother of allbacchanalian weekends. CampusSafety (coupled with Hartford's Fin-est) kept the peace.

Buildings and Grounds andthe campus custodians worked furi-ously to clean up the aftermath of thepicnics and parties both inside andoutside. AIKI tine final tip of the hat;t^XQ6£,4^Q.&ftS«dirMed the en-tire shebang - from the bands onFriday, to the Funfair on Saturday, ti>the bands on Sunday - and then had •to stick around to both set-up, and:break down and clean up after themasses. . . ...

The weekend was successfulbecause of these groups and indi-viduals. We at Around Trinity saluteyou!

Jeers!

Jeers

... goes to albwho participated inthe 1st Annual Testosterone Sweaty MoshSlam Pit. During the Femmes set, manyuninhibited, shirtless men took it uponthemselves to bond. Their primal exer-cise involved wrestling whoever was inthe middle of the circle out of the circle, Inany manner possible.

This resulted in "big, sweaty, drunkguys rolling around on the ground" andirritating those in the general vicinitywho didn't participate and were usuallysmaller, according to an Around Trinitysource. The ritual ended with "lots ofhigh-fives and hugs." Sources of AroundTrinity claim that they had not seen sucha blatant, homo-erotic bonding displaysince Robert Bly's inner child retreats ofthe 80s,

Cheers...

... to Mother Nature. Could anycampus, anywhere, have been so blessedwith such outstanding weather on anythree day consecutive period? We at•Around Trinity don't think so. Yes, tem-peratures were in the 70s. The sun wasshining. The skies were clear. The eve-nings were coolly comfortable. And thejoint, as they say, was jumpin'.

Cheers

. A tribute to Smackhead, whoplayed their "las t ever Trinity show"on Friday night. Amidst a flurry ofpyrotechnics, and on the two yearanniversary of their first ever per-formance, Smack' rocked to a feistycrowd. According to an intimatesource, however, this "last ever"ploy was merely "a light, controver-sial PR stunt." We fans at AroundTrinity sure hope that the latter isthe case.

Jeers

To Marriott. While the foodservice has been first-rate this se-mester,-Around Trinity noted some

... and a general thumbs downto anyone who, this weekend, didnot take the minimal effort to cleanup after themselves (or their dogs, aswas the case in Wheatondormitory).There was much too much trash,bottles, boot, and other unpleasantsundries scattered in every nook andcranny of the campus this weekendto just leave it. Shame on you!

Cheers...

... to the music. We at AroundTrinity salute the inconceivable pot-pourri of performances whichsounded this past weekend. Top onthe list were the Black Sheep and theViolent Femmes, Perhaps it was be-cause the shows were outside anddiscernible to the ear this year, butreviews of the "gigs" were favor-able. The toe-tapping, hip-hoppingsets inspired all to groove. Or, in thecase of some, slam. To that end, thefirst big Jeer...

Jeers

- and also a bit of interspersedCheers, go to the spate of formals whichalways occur on this annual weekendfrenzy. The Jeer is the fact that an sociallyambitious and motivated student had toshell out BIG BUCKS in order to partythis weekend.

Elmo's "Mixing it Up withJagermeister" party was unique (and -insert "Cheer" here - officially sponsoredby Jager'.), but not enough to warranttwelve freaking dollars.

And Psi-U's dressed up frat party,thankfully, was outdoors (CHEERS tothat) -because who would pay ten dollarsto wear formal clothing and then runlaps in the Psi-U basement? Even Cleowas bitten by the bug, sponsoring their"Rites of Spring" for five bucks.

All this cash flow made the "Hot-Dog Man's" two dollar dogs seem likesteals, and Around Trinity would suggestthat perhaps more students can apply forfinancial aid for next year.

g p s with the picnicon the Cave Patio on Sunday night.For one, there were too many people,and not enough room.

For another, the food selec-tion was very, very limited - no realalternatives next to hot dogs andhamburgers - and no Sundae bar!Perhaps a scaled down set-up in thedining hall, in concordance with thepicnic, could be a viable compro-mise for both Marriott employeesand hungry students.

Cheers

To the Freshman class studybreak on Thursday night. Theyhosted a "All Out Pig Out" on theElton/Jones quad at 9 p.m. - com-plete with Chinese food, pizza, Ken-tucky Fried Chicken, Blow Pops, andsoda.

An added attraction was theimpromptu band which played (in-cluding harmonica, guitars, bass,drums, and saxes) during the festi-val. A mello, enjoyable way to kickoff the class of '96''s first ever SpringWeekend.

Jeers...

...to those who tried to spoilthe fun for everyone by calling innoise complaints during the day-time and early evenings of SpringWeekend. If 'ya really had to workthat bad, the library was open.

May 4,1993 • THE TRINITY TRIPOD LETTERSDean Answi

To the Editor:

I am writing in response to JimBarr's editorial in the'April 20th editionof The Tripod. As a former Tripod writermyself, I feel obliged to correct a fewfactualerrors, as well to comment uponwhat seem to be misinterpretations bythe author.

First, let me speak to the timing ofthe Admissions Office's move to theformer President's house. As everyoneis undoubtedly aware, the period be-tween early December and late March isan extremely busy one in Admissions.After careful consideration, I asked JohnWoolley to delay the move until mid-May, when most of the activity recruit-ing the Class of 1997 would be com-pleted. It is important to understand tha tthis change in our moving schedule wascarefully planned, and in no way re-sulted from any foot dragging orinatten-tion on the part of Duildingsand Grounds.

The editorial goes on to questionthe necessity for a new admissions loca-tion. The Trustees and various members

of the campus community discussed theissues involved almost two years agoand there was a general agreement atthat time that there were several advan-tages to be gained by the move. Whileour current space in Downes is certainlyattractive and adequate, it is neverthe-less quite cramped.

We are currently short one officespace, with one of the Assistant Directorsforced to borrow a vacant desk in theDevelopment Office and "float" amonghis colleagues' offices each day whenprivacy is needed for an admissions in-terview. The plain fact is that spaceconcerns are very real in the AdmissionsOffice, and the move will alleviate manyof these problems.

Much of the editorial consists ofthe writer's opinions as to the architec-tural style and appearance of the formerPresident's house, and while we are allentitled to our own views in matters oftaste, I would think these concerns aresecondary to how well the new locationwill serve both the Admissions Officeoperation and, more importantly, our

visitors. The view from the living roomof the house, soon to be,our lobby, is veryimpressive. The large picture windovvson the south wall lookout on the Chapel'and the clock Tower, while the side win-dows allow a visitor to' see the panoramaof the playing fields as well, The roomitself is much larger than our currentlobby, which will alleviate the crowdingwhich sometimes occurs now. We planon having at least one wall available fordisplays of student and faculty art work,something which we are not able to do inour current location.

I think that Tripod readers shouldalso know that the Facilities Manage-ment Committee, made up of faculty,students, and administrators, had iden-tified the President's house asapotentialsite for the Admissions Of fide well over ayear before President Gerety's decisionto relocate his residence.

Without rehashing issues that werediscussed and settled long ago, I wouldpoint out that President Gerety moved toanother location in Hartford so that hisyo ung children could grow up in a neigh-borhood, with other children and fami-lies, rather than fraternities and offices,surrounding them. Previous presidents

Justifieddid not have young children, and did nottherefore need to consider such issues.

•The editorial's final point centers onwhere future presidents might live, nowthat the Admissions Office will occupythe former presidential residence. Thestatement that "Trinity will be without aplace for the President of the College tolive" simply is not true. In fact, there areseveral houses on the south side of Ver-non Street which are both larger and inmany ways more suitable for aPresident's house than the previous lo-cation, and there will be no need to turn,as the editorial suggests, to an old frater-nity house for such accommodations.

In a few weeks, we will pack upand move to our new space. With thismove to the former President's House,our Admissions Office will have accom-plished a significant upgrade in our spacewithout the enormous expenditure whichwould have been necessary to constructa new building. This seems to me to be areal accomplishment on the part of theCollege and those responsible for themanagement of its physical plant.Sincerely,David M Borus 'Dean of Admissions & Financial Aid

To the liditor:

The lead article in the last issue ofThe Tripod discussed the recently over-turned SGA Elections, nolingcomplaintsboth of voting procedure and the objec-tivity and comportment of members ofthe election committee;.

As the Chairman of the SGA Elec-tions Committee, 1 take full responsibil-ity for the first of these complaints. It iscertainly true that we were forced, forvarious reasons, to deviate from stan-dard elections procedures; thismay havearoused some questions as to the accu-racy of the results.

However, between the time thatthe list of announced candidates was

formalized, and the time that polls forthe first election closed, no suggestionwas made to me or to another member ofthe Elections Committee that there was aproblem regarding objectivity or com-portment, and I strongly reject the ideathat I or another member of the Commit-tee acted during that time in a mannerthat was less than fair, unbiased andnonpartisan.

I have no doubt that the accusa-tions will be discounted by members ofthe Trinity Community, for I have totalfaith in my own standard of fairness, aswell as in the judgement of every mem-ber of the Elections Committee.

Sincerely,Jay Wise '95

Officers Acted On Probable CauseTo the Editor:The following is a short scenario

which is intended to make you thinkabout racism, the security of our cam-pus, and the inherent problems associ-ated with each.

Your name is Officer John Jacob •Jingleheimer Schmidt, you are a secu-rity officer here at Trinity College, onpatrol outsideofJarvisonSummitStreetafter dark. While there you notice twoyouths,bothapparently Hispanic malesin their mid-teens. They have just ar-rived from the woods on the far side ofSummit Street, and are proceeding to-ward, and then across, Zion Street ,being obviously careful to stay near thewoods. One of the young men is wear-ing dark clothes, including a hoodedsweatshirt with the hood off, the otherdark pants and a white jacket. Upontheir arrival at the point across the roadfrom the Cook Arch, the gentlemanwearing the hooded sweatshirt putshis hood up and pulls the string tigh I soas to partially conceal his face. Theother young man simultaneously re-moves his all white jacket and reversesit so that it is now all black. At this pointthe two of them cross together onto theTrinity Campus.

The two people proceed to take avery scenic and twisty course throughthe campus. They first head under theeight woman arch and turn along sidethe Cave Patio. They then proceed towalk toward the passage between theMcCookbuilding and Jones. Theirnextmaneuver is to turn around McCookand pass on the North side of the FerrisAthletic Center. Upon reaching theBroad Street fence, they turnNorth and

proceed to walk across the playing fieldtoward the Broad/Vernon parking lot.

At this point you, and two of theother officers who have been monitor-ing the activities of the individualsthroughout the evening for about 20minutes, decide to stop them and in-quire as to their reasons for being oncampus this late at night, especially insuch an unsecured, and dangerous area.After a brief discussion which is notfilled with hostility, The two youngmen depart campus directly throughthe nearby gate which they had re-cently opted not to use. They then walkaround campus and go back the waythat they came.

Do you feel insulted that theseofficers would racially harass these twoinnocent people because of the color oftheir skin and the manner in whichthey chose to wear their clothes? Doyou feel sa fer knowing that the securityhere at Trinity is on its toes enough tonotice this type of behavior? Do youthink that these officers had no right tostop these men because they had, infact, done nothing wrong? Do you feelthat this was a good example of officersdoing their job?

I would like to commend thoseofficers involved for acting on Prob-able Cause and common sense. Prob-able Cause is the right which allowsofficers to do their job in order to pre-vent incidents from occurring. Theseofficers acted well in a situation which,according to some of the over-sensitivereactionaries on this campus, wouldconstitute blatant racism.

Sincerly,Kevin Blumberg '95

To the editor:

The April 20 Dialogue section ofThe Tripod addresses a number of impor-tant issues germane to the current dis-cussion among faculty concerning guide-lines of faculty-student relationships.

Ms. Tatko's column shows the com-plexity of the issues involved, in contrastwith the simplistic version that assumesa priori affiliation to a guilty or victimgroup. In real ity, besides the blatant casesof sexual harassment which we all con-demn/human relationships are en-meshed in a sea of projections, insensi-tivities, misjudgements and such. Evenwell-intentioned professors, indepen-dently of their gender or culture, can beinsensitive or misread students' inten-tion^, but so can students. The complex-ity and ambiguity of social and sexualdynamics/as Ms. Tatkd states, must beacknowledged before they can behandled sensitively and responsibly.

Ms. Irvine-Robinson cogently ad-dresses in her commentary the likelyprobability that an attempt to legislateprofessorial behavior and ideology be-yond the cases of sexual harassmentwould destroy individuality and bringabout fear and confusion on both sides.Further, to presume that professors andstudents can only interact within a veryrestricted framework is not only sad butinsulting by preempting the capacity ofadult students to make judgments forthemselves.

Victoria Ludwin asks directly whymany professors avoid any type of inter-action outside of the strict academicboundaries. There are at least two an-swers to this question: the first one beingthat some professors may actually notcare to engage with students outside oftheir professional obligations, the otherone relating to the sheer fear that per-sonal warmth or friendliness, which maybe judged by some of the recipients asone of the richest aspects of academia,may be judged by others as "unprofes-sional" or even harassing, with the obvi-ous dire consequences.

Thomas Catlaw comments that

friendship among faculty and students"pollutes the classroom," We sympa-thize with his fear of favoritism creepingunto the classroom, but his foe shouldstrictly be favoritism rather than friend-ship. Warm relationships among stu-dents and faculty do not necessarily en-tail the outcome that he fears. It is abso-lutely fallacious to assume that studentsor faculty are completely "objective"about the way they deal with each otherand with students. We do not know ofany professor who does not appreciatepome stu den Is more than others, the sameway that students prefer some profes-sors more than others. We also remem-ber memorable instructors who becamespecial precisely because they allowedus to know them more fully as humanbeings and professionals outside of theclassroom setting.

We want to conclude by thankingall of the Dialogue contributors. They allexemplify what Ms. Irvine-Robinsondescribes as faculty learning from rela-tions with students. Your writers ex-press in a frank and direct way opinionsthat are unpopular in some circles. Theyexemplify one of the main goals of ourendeavors: to empower students, all stu-dents, to let us know with courage andcandor what aspects of ourbehavior theymay find objectionable, in what waysour interactions within and outside ofthe classroom enrich their lives (andours). We support the goal of the Facul ty'sAd-Hoc Committee to eliminate sexualharassment and hope that we will be ableto accomplish that without destroyingwarm yet professional relations amongstudents and faculty.

Page 4 ANNOUNCEMENTS May 4, 1993 • THE TRINITY TRIPOD

In the last few hectic weeks of a school year, the College'srelease of the academic calendar for the next year passes as oneof many things that is tabled by students until their exams andgraduation are over. Then the summer arrives, and they packup their papers, not to look at them till their return to Trinity.If they had.read the calendar carefully when it was released,they would have found that it is one of the Administration'sfavorite ways of announcing changes in policy without havingto face up to student protests. Once the next year has started,and students finally have an opportunity to study the calendarand complain about its shortcomings, the Administration canfend off criticism by explaining that when the calendar wasreleased five months ago, no one felt unhappy about it. Fivemonths ago, of course, the students were all studying for finals,and had other things to do besides grapple with Trinity'sbureaucracy.

In the past few years, the calendar has announced anumber of changes unpopular with the student body. Twoexamples that come to mind are the change from a two-week toa one-week Spring Break after the 1991-92 school year, and thelabeling of Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 13as first semester's Reading Days. In each case, features of thecalendar which students found worthwhile were altered with-out consultation or announcement, other than a tiny one linereference in a two page memo. While the Curriculum Commit-tee was able to respond to the SGA's questions concerningReading Days, the Administration has yet to properly explainanother change in the calendar which is about to take place.

A review of the 1992-93 Trinity College Academic Calen-dar shows the Friday, May 14 entry as follows: "Grades forgraduating seniors are due. Residences close at 12:00 Noon forall students except those participating in Commencement."What this is saying is that all underclassmen must leave afterexams, regardless of whether they have 3:00 p.m. exams onFriday or if their best friends are graduating on May 23. Thisis a substantial change in Trinity's policy, and from students Ihave spoken with, it's widely considered to be a change for theworse.

As a student who remained for Senior Week the last twoyears, I can attest that in many ways those weeks were the best

spend time with their friends, many of whom they never willsee again, and enjoy the camaraderie and community that asmall campus like Trinity provides without the demands ofclasswork.

Ironically, when asked about the change in policy, nei-ther the Dean of Students or the Director of Residential Lifeknew anything about the matter, though both heartily sup-portedit. For them, SeniorWeekisahassle. Students drink andcarry on, and frequently end up hurting the school and eachother. The College's interests lie in protecting the students andthe school, and so it supports this mysterious change. What itdoes not value, apparently, is the deep and lasting memoriesmade in these weeks, which for most students are spent re-sponsibly and happily, without the reckless abandon of thefew,

Though the Administration makes strong points aboutthe behavior and activities of that last week of the school year,Trinity's response—.closing the dorms to all underclassmen,period— is unfair and runs counter to the type of communitywhich makes the campus life here as close and tight knit as it is.If the past Senior Weeks' incidents were truly this harmful,why didn't the College consider restructuring that week, withall the student involvement and responsibility that the Strate-gic Plan calls for, instead of legislating the problem away? Howdoes the college intend to implement this new policy, espe-cially in dorms with both upper- and underclassmen? Do theyreally imagine that the Senior rooms will no tbecome the largestsquatter community ever seen here at Trinity? The Senior classcommittee, the SGA, the students, and the Administrationshould all work together to address the past problems andshortcomings of Senior Week, so that this May 23 the whole

Caajllonneur Tunes Up For GraduationBY BRYAN SATTERNeivs Writer

Dan Kehoe,a Trinity graduate himself in1978, is theofficialcarillonneurof the college. A carillon is anintricatenetwork of wires that,when activated, ring any oneof 49 cast bronze bells,

the artof carilkmning, which hehasbeendoingforll years now.He explained the difference be-tween the carillon and the elec-

forms for honors day, convo-cation, Christmas ceremonies,and other important events.Furthermore, he runs a sum-mer concert series, in whichthe public is invited to picnic

The elegance and splendor of the bells may Icetaken for granted, but the creator of the musicis a man who takes his work very seriously...

Ironically operatedbells that onehears at a church service by say-ing "the carillon is played by amanual keyboard mechanism."Dan gives it his own personaltouch.

Mr. Kehoe, a Suffield resi-dent, began his musk career byplaying the organ and piano,which prepared him for ringingthebellsinthechapel. "Carillonmusic is scored the same as or-gan music," Mr. Kehoe ex-plained,

In addition to playing forsenior graduation, he also per-

out on the quad and listen toDan make music. "The sum-mer is next," he says, "I invitevisi tors from foreign countriesto come and play." The con-certs, which are very popular,begin on June 16, and play ev-ery Wednesday night untilAugust 29.

are invisible for the most part."Dan Lloyd, an Associate

Professor of Philosophy, wasmuch more enthusiastic aboutthe march and its effects. "It'svery exciting when issues of stu-dent empowerment and toler-ance are linked together," hesaid.

The majority of those whowalked by the march appearedconfused and a little unsettled."The silence was nice becauseyoucouldignoreitif you wantedto," said Jane Rand '93, "I wasnot pleased at first, but at leastyou could choose whether ornot to acknowledge it."

Many commented on thetiming of the march. CostaDimas '96 said that the timingwas poor, but he also com-mented that "There wasn'tenough noise or speakers to

heighten awareness."Sophomore class presi-

dent Josh Lahey had similarcomments about the timing. Yethe admitted "I'm kidding my-self if I think that the supportwould have been greater at anyother time."

Emma Irvine-Robertson,an exchange student from theUniversity of East Anglia, saidthat such apathy towards ho-mosexuality is nonexistent inEngland. "On a campus of about5,000, there are no less than 50organized 'kiss-outs' to makeeveryone aware," she said. Kiss-outs are events in which homo-sexuals will publicly displaytheir affection for one another.

The optimistic tone ofmost in the group was summedup by Kathleen Saur, an IDPstudent and a volunteer for AIDSProject Hartford. "This was an

encouraging return to agrassroo ts effort in an otherwiseapathetic world," she said. "Asan adult I can be more openminded since I'm not as threat-ened by diversity."

The march although small ;

was considered a success bythose involved. An unnamedmarcher summed it up bestwhen he said "it is very easy tosupport homosexual rights inthe abstract, but it is quite diffi-cult to actually go out and marchsince many feel a subconsciousfear about what others mightthink of you."

The march follows a se-mester that has been marked byunheralded student activism.

In her support for themarchers, Bo Hewitt '93 re-marked that in her four years atTrinity she had never seen thismuch activism.

Assistant Director Leaving After Three Years

Campus Safety Loses EmployeeBYTMBARRManaging Editor

Erin Olson, Assistant Di-rectorofC ampus Safety is leav-ing Trinity.

Just last week, Olson fin-ished her education towards alaw degree at U-Conn LawSchool, which she will use in hernew job as an Investigation Spe-cialist with the Federal DepositInsurance Corporation (FDIC)in East Hartford. Olson saidthat her job will entail "investi-gating reasons for commercialbank failures." She added thatthe position "combines her le-gal work and accounting/au-diting abilities." It is a twelvemonth appointment, but shesaid that "It's a job that will lastuntil the bank crisis is cleanedup... they figure 8-10 years."

The job at the FDIC is astepping stone, Olson explained.She said that she wants to even-tually practice law "in a coupleyears," probably in her homestate of Oregon. She is takingthe Oregon bar exam in July, butalso plans to take the Connecti-cut bar next February.

Olson started out at Trin-ity approximately three and ahalf years ago and predates thecurrent Director of CampusSafety, Brian Kelly. Olson joined

Trinity as a part time officer andshe "got promoted to AssistantDirector in a few weeks." Shecommented that the position"used to be supervisory," but ithas become "more of an admin-istrative position. I've enjoyedseeing the departmentgrow andimprove."

When asked about hertime at Trinity, Olson said "Idon't think I'll ever have a jobwith as much responsibility as

SGA Election Controversy Continuescontinued from page 1

appeared in Harper's Index in1990. The portion of the speechin question was a list of outra-geous feats that Adcock claimedto have accomplished.

When confronted with theaccusations, Adcock fully admit-ted her culpability. "Ihadnevermade a speech before and I wasnot completely aware of the rulesof citation," said Adcock. "Ididn't even think of creditingthe author. I never thought ofthe spoken word as needingdocumentation. I understandnow."

Adcock leveled charges ofher own against the then-Chairof the Elections Committee JayWise'95. She claimed that Wise,who she assumed was an unbi-ased SGA official, encouragedher to run for Vice-President af-ter she had turned in her peti-tion staring her intention to runfor President.

Wise did not deny that hehad encouraged Adcock to runfor Vice-Presidenr,but contestedAdcock's contention about thetiming. "Ileftamessageonhermachine suggesting that she runfor a specific office, but that wasbefore I had received her peti-tion." Wise went on to say thathe had met with Adcock dis-cussing her concerns and thathe thought that she was "satis-fied with the way that the meet-ing went."

Student Government As-sociation President QuantiDavis, who also met with Wise,said he told him that his behav-ior was inappropriate, and thatWise agreed with him. Adcocksaid only that she had met withWise but had no comment onthe content of the meeting.

Concerns were also raisedby another Tripod EditorialBoard member in regards to aconnection between the cam-

paigns of Doug Connelly '95,Tucker MacLean '95 and JakeGillis '95, who ran for President,Executive Vice-President andVice-President of Finance, re- the Dean of Students Office.

he had not been notified of anyinvestigation before-hand. Hewas told thathis suspension was"linked with an investigationby

spectively, and Tripod Featureseditor Jonathan Heuser '93, whohad written an article endorsingall three candidates in the Tri-pod.

The charges specified thatthe printing of posters support-ing those candidates took placewith the use of Tripod equip-ment and materials. Any suchuse of equipment and materialswithout the consent of the Edi-tor-in-Chief of the Tripod is con-sidered a misappropriation offunds according to Student Ac-tivities budget funding.

Tripod Editor-in-ChiefSara N. Wedlock '93 assertedthat she had no knowledge ofHeuser's activities. For his partHeuser admitted to printing thesigns, saying "They didn't breakin [to the Tripod office]." Gillissaid that he was unaware of alink between Ms campaign andTripod funds.

Another source of confu-sion and scandal shrouding theelections deal with the candida-cies of Vincent Mase '95, Rich-ard Fonte '95 and Afshan(Sunny) Asghar '94, Mase, whooriginally ran as a write-in can-didate for Executive Vice-Presi-dent in the firs t election was sus-pended during the second elec-tion by the S.G.A. executiveboard.

Mase was suspended, ac-cording to Davis for "impedingthe candidacy of another candi-date," Davis refused to elabo-rate further. Mase howeverclaims that the reason he wasforced off of the ballot was be-cause Asghar accused him ofsexualharassment. He said thathe was told that he had beendisqualified by Davis, but that

Mase went on to say that as heunderstood it, the investigationby the Deans revolved aroundalle gations of sexual harassmenttowards Sunny Asghar, the SGAexecutive Vice-President elect.Mase refused to comment onthe exact nature of the allega-tions.

Asghar has refused tocomment on the situation aswell, saying that the Dean ofStudents has asked her not to.

Mase did say that once hewas disqualified his friend androommate Richard Fonte de-cided to run for the office. Fontesaid "I felt that it was unfair todisqualify Vinnie, and so Ithought that I should run,"

In a written statementFonte denies any accusations ofsexual harassment by Asghar.He, in fact accuses Asghar of"fabricating statements" abouthim and "actively seeking todamage his campaign." Fontealso stated that he feels he andMase are the victims of "a witchhuntbywomen eager to crucifythe first so called 'perverts' theycan single out." Fonte alsowould not cite any specific de-tails of incidents, saying that theDeans had requested that he notspeak.

At this point it is unclearwhether any further disciplin-ary actions will be taken againstMase, or if any will be initiatedagainst Fonte. Both Fonte andMase claim that the Dean of Stu-dents office has verbalized tothem that they have been clearedof any wrong-doing.

Associate Dean of Stu-dents Mary Thomas also de-clined to comment on the situa-tion.

Spring SpreeWeeeeeee, such nice weather. The Security Blotter was so

excited to see sun on Spring Weekend after last year's soggyencounter that it almost forgot to write the column. Fortunately,the blotter remembered, and so you have this.

Spring Weekend's hot days undoubtedly led to an in-creased amount of alcohol consumption by students, but therewere few incidents reported to Campus Safety. During theconcert the college only received one noise complaint from aresident of the neighborhood. One concert attendee got "partiedout," but overall the weekend gave security few problems.

Cop CorrectionA factual error was printed in the news section last week

about Hartford Police Officers being hired for fraternity parties.All fraternities are NOT required to hire HPD Officers for theirparties. However, as DCS-BK noted, "With the activities that haverecently taken place at some of the fraternities," AD and Psi-U"will be required to hire a Hartford Police Officer," for theirparties until the end of the year.

Volvo ValuablesAn '86 Volvo parked near Doonesbury was broken into on

4/29 around 8 p.m. A window was broken with a rock and the carstereo was .taken.

Summer StuffCampus Safety will be publishing a newsletter before the

end of the semester. The Security Blotter was given an insider':guide to what it will contain: comments about animals in dorms,parking regulations, and the lowering of parking fees for unreg-istered cars. Currently, the fine for parking an unregisteredvehicle in a college parking spot is the sporty sum of $100. Ouch.As Campus Safety has discovered, collecting fines of $110 (That'sabout 3 kegs of Mils' Best) from cash-starved maturing yuppies isdifficult to do. However, in lowering the fees for an unregisteredvehicle, Campus Safety will lo longer be so lenient. "Bad news isthat we will not waive the fines,., we will collect the fees,"proclaimed DCS-BK.

So, what else should one expect to find when we get back toTrin-Trin in the fall? A monorail/people mover to take intoxicated students to and from parties? A breathalyzer on the ATM'Well, neither of these is likely to happen, but some other thingscould change. DCS-BK says that by fall there will be a card-readeron the gate by Elmo and possibly on the one behind NorthCampus. Also, every dorm in South Campus will have securityscreens by the summer's end. Installations have yet to be done onJackson, Wheaton, Smith and Anadama.

Farewell & FreedomSome advice for students as they prepare to move out...

Do:Take everything from your room before B&G sneaks up on youand changes the combo.Keep an eye on your stuff while you move out.Let the lava lamp cool off before placing it on the leather interio:of Mommy's SAAB.Patch up all the holes you banged in your walls before ORLcomes by and CHARGE$ you like $3,000 for each nail hole. Psst,rumor is that toothpaste and paint works well.Clean up all the empty alcohol containers that may litter yourroom before the parents show up to find out that "Daddy's littleangel" keeps a bottle of Cuervo under the bed.Be nice and return all your Marriott utensils and trays.

Don't:• Throw your TV off High Rise.• Leave your valuables outside the dorm wile you go get the car.• Use blue gel toothpaste to cover up holes in white walls.• Mark your boxes with "Cheap stuff" and "Expensive, prized

things."• Pack your lover's underwear.• Write your name on the silverware and trays you return to the

dining hall.• Forget to get the trash bag filled with your dirty laundry out o.

the hallway before the janitor comes by. "Mommy, mommy! '.lost my new cardigan."

May 4, 1993 • THE TRINITY TRIPOD NEWSChanges Slated For ComputingBY MATTHEW PRINCENews Writer

.In order to continue it's expand-ing role on campua, the Trinity CollegeComputer Center plans some changes(or this summer.

• First, according to Peter Sobering,Director of Networking and Telecom-munications, is the replacement of theMacintosh Pius and SE computers in theMCEC lab. While they were the state ofthe art when they were installed, manyof the computer services that thc> collegeis now trying to make part of the com-munity are unable to run well, or can notrun at all, on these older machines.Currently the computer center hopes toreplace these computers wifhMacintoshCentris (jlOs. The new machines arenearly five times as fast as what thecurrentpublicMacs and will have larger,color screens, In addition, the older Pluscomputers in the Public Rooms will beremoved and replaced with some of theSEB from the lab.

Most network users in the dormswill also have more options next year.Currently users are limited to using anetwork type called Loealtalk to sendand receive information over the net-work. While it is cheap and easy toinstall, Local talk is very slow comparedto Ethernet.

Next year, some network userswill have the option of hookingup to thefaster Ethernet network. Some of theMacs sold next fall may have built-inEthernet adaptors, and students whoalready own Macs will have the optionof purchasing an Ethernet card. The listof dorms that will Support Ethernet inthe fall is still not final.

In addition, Mr, Sobering pointsout that many structural changes are,going to be made to make ours a "morpstable and reliable network,"

The college also plans on openinga computer store in MCEC. The storewould have more space to demo newmachines and may also stock computersupplies. "Inadditionto doing what wealready do fselling computers].,. wewill try to become an Apple repair cen-ter," Mr, Sobering commented. This is amuch needed and beneficial service forthe college.

The new store will also serve tosell telephones to students, since nextyear a phone will not be provided withthe room, Mr, Sobering said that nextfall all students will bo asked to bring atouch lone phone, or to purchase onefrom I he computer store,

It seems that Trinity is doing wellto keep abreast of current technologyand to remain a leader among collegesof its type in this area.

Wann Weather Made ForEnjoyable Spring Weekend

BY MATT HENRY 'Copy Editor

Starting early Friday morning,music begin to creep out of various win-dows as Spring "Weekend arrived. Theannual event/which gives students theopportunity to relieve the stress causedby finals week approaching, began offi-cially on Friday at 4:00 p.m. Clearly,students were not going to wait that longto begin the excitement.

Social events were held all overcampus by various groups. Festivitiesbegan on Thursday night, with a partyfor freshman held at Elton/Jones. Partygoers were treated to free food and liveentertainment.

on Sunday afternoon. The Life Science•Center quad was filled with Trinity stu-dents as Black Sheep and the ViolentFemmes performed, Black Sheep wasthe opening act, giving an hour long set.The group sang some of their more fa-miliar songs, urging the relaxed crowdto liven up.

Many of the students were contentto sit in the warm sun and just enjoy theconcert from where they were. Severalcouches appeared on the quad, and onestudent brought a refrigerator outside,powered by an extension cord runninginto the Jackson dormitory. Anther groupof concert attendees soaked in a kiddiepool as they watched the concert.

Sunbathers abounded as Black

Spring Weekend had Trinity in a festive mood, andseemed to lighten the burden that finals week has placedon students' shoulders.

There were two formals this week-end. The first, held in the Washingtonroom, was presented by St. Elmo. Theparty was livened by the large quantityof Jaegermeister that was the selectedbeverage for the event. The second for-mal, given by Psi-U, was held under atent in the fraternity's backyard. Partygoers were treated to a hard bar and alive band.

In conjunction with the MusicDorm, the Cave Patio hosted studentbands for most of Friday evening. Thevarious groups represented many stylesof music, including rock, rap, alterna-tive, and some disco licks were also heard.Groups played well past 10:00, butcrowds dwindled as other events began.

Parties and late nights were heldby mobl of the fraternities on campus,and the Umoja House had a spandextheme parly. All parties were monitoredby hired police officers, due to the newrule.aimed to promote safety. However,there was no real need for the officers, asparty goers seemed more interested inhaving fun than having fights.

Heavy drinking was evident fromTh ursday nigh t straight through Sundayafternoon. Most social events servedalcohol, and many students bought beerand hard liquor to get them to the nextparty. For many students, this weekendwas both costly and incoherent.

The weekend was made complete

Sheep gave a strong performance, in-cluding some new material. Some of themore enthusiastic listeners were encour-aged by the group to knock down theplastic fence that separated the fans fromthe stage. Showers of water from therappers and beer from the fans soakedthe crowd and cooled everyone down.

As Black Sheep ended their set, thecrowd resumed their seats on the grass.The air was festive, and frisbees andfootballs were thrown by spring enthusedstudents.

Snowcones were on sale for thosewho were overwhelmed by the heat anda grill was working for lunch. Just whenpeople had begun to wind down theViolent Femmes came on stage for whatwas to be the longer of the two perfor-mances.

The group also attracted a largenumber ot people to the stage, but thegroup, who surprised some people withtheir energetic performance, got more ofthe fans into their act.

Still, a large group of students werehappy just to be there.

Spring Weekend had Trinity in afestive mood and seemed to lighten theburden that finals week has placed onstudents' shoulders. There were no inci-dents this weekend that required police,and the only real problem caused by thefestivities was the litter, which has beencleaned up.

Alcohol Committee MakesSuggestion For Keg PolicyBY PATRICK GINGRASNews Writer

At the Alcohol Committee meet-ing in the Dean of Students Office onWednesday, April 28, it was decided thatkeg beer should not be banned fromcampus. No formal resolutions weremade, but it was clear that kegs wouldremain at Trinity.

Director of Campus Safety BrianKelly, who presided over the meeting,said that though banning kegs wouldclear up Trinity's "open party" atmo-sphere at late-night and dorm parties, itwould be compromising the integrity ofthe student body. Mr. Kelly stated thatmost students deal well with alcohol, butit is that small percentage that he is con-cerned with.

The Committee talked mostly ofthe problem with kegs in dormitories.The idea was introduced that if a gather-ing including a keg were to take place ina dormitory, that the gathering's hostinform his or her Resident Assistant ina dvance of the date planned for the gath-ering to occur. This would simply be to

insure that someone is responsible forthe guests of the garnering. If a gatheringwere to form, and the R.A. had not beentold, then fines may be levied against theentire hall if any damage were done.This is simply an idea, however, and has

not been made College policy.Mr. Kelly brought up Williams

College's rules governing keg beer to beconsidered. Williams limits the numberof kegs present at a given party by thenumber of people in attendance. Forexample, there can be one keg per twenty-five guests. This rule, if decided to gointo effect, would include fraternity andsorority parties as well as any other par-ties on campus.

The Alcohol Committee does notwant to hinder any freedom from thestudent body, but wants to encourageresponsible alcohol consumption.

Can There Be

Peace In The Middle East?BY LUKE MADIGANWorld & Nation Writer

As the Arab-Israeli peace talks re-sume one wonders if they will ever ac-complish anything. They have once againconvened in Washington to start the pro-cess again. This round, which theystarted on the27th of April, doesn'tseemto show any more hope than the eightrounds that preceded it. The peace talkshave been in a deadlock since the CampDavid Accords in September of 1978.The problem with the talks is that every-body wants what everybody else is un-willing to'give up. There is no foresee-

Second, the Jordanians want backthe West Bank which includes East Jerusa-lem. One of the problems is that theIsrael claims Jerusalem as their capital.Also with the tremendous influx of Jew-ish settlers into the West Bank and in allother occupied territories, Israel is reluc-tant to give up any of the land that it hasgrown so accustomed to in the lasttwenty-six years.

Finally, the big problem is the Pal-estinian question. The Palestinians,through the Camp David Accords, are

BY WILLIAM BRECKENFELD

Several angry letters to the Editor appeared in the March 30,1993 issueof The Tripod in response to my AIDS article that appeared the previous week.Two of the writers suggested mat a better approach to discussing overpopula-tion would be to examine birth control. As Lauren Rosenberg, one of thewriters, put it, "This way lives are stopped before they exist, not stopped whilethey exist."

I agree wholeheartedly that birth control is a much more effective andhumane means of population control, which brings me to the topic for thisweek: Overpopulation and Birth Control.

We are all aware of the Catholic Church's stance on artificial birth control.It is not, and probably will never be, officially tolerated despite growingevidence of a serious global overpopulation problem, especially in the Southernhemisphere. The U.N. Population Fund has estimated global populationgrowth at 97 million per annum. "Ahead lie four decades of the fastest growthinhumannumbersinallhistory." (America, 3/6/93) Here's another unnervingfact. In 1992 there were some 380 million people living in tropical areas whoclear land in order to farm and survive. This figure is expected to double in 50years. The effects of clearing vast amounts of forest are devastating, to say theleast. This systematic clearing and farming will leave once fertile land barrenand useless. "The increase (in world population) in the past 40 years hasequalled the total increase over the millions of years from when the humanspecies emerged until 1950." (Scientific American, 9/89)

Although artificial birth control will help stem population growth, it isnot the only solution. 'Education has proven to be an effective means inThailand'and Indonesia. According to Jodf Jacobson, of World Watch, "Interna-tional experience has shown [that] female education is the single most influen-tial determinant of both lower birthrates and increasing empowerment forwomen.... More than two-thirds of all women in Indonesia and more thanthree-fourths in Thailand are literate. Birthrates in both countries are markedlylower than in India (where one-fourth of women are literate)." It can be inferredthat an increase ,in female literacy in the Third World will have a significantimpact upon population growth.

Global population / resource problems are not solely the problem of theThird World by any means. Western consumption of natural resources isviewed by some as pig-like. Nomatter what label one places upon Western life,•it iaat»van;itt"that-strict-gonservation and recycling efforts are going to benecessary for this planet to survive through the 21st century. We, in the firstworld, cannot put the entire blame of global overpopulation on the Third Worldjust because our populations are not increasing dramatically each year.

Even though overpopulation will not end with the widespread use ofartificial contraception, I feel it would be a major step in the right direction. TheCatholic Church is ignoring the fact that overpopulation is a severe problemthat has to be dealt with. The Vatican and the Pope won't even discuss it. Theissues of overpopulation and family planning were dropped from the EarthSummit agenda due to pressure from the Vatican, Argentina and the Philip-pines.

I must admit that the Church does have a plan, albeit less effective thanothers, to help curb the population explosion. They call it N.F.P., or NaturalFamily Planning. This involves education on abstinence, and ovulation cyclesto reduce the chance of pregnancy. This method would undoubtedly help, butI feel that artificial contraception will be necessary to stem the rising tide ofpopulation.

In order for this planet to survive for another century with any quality oflife, the Catholic Church will have to deal with physical reality and nottheological goodwill.

graduate of Harvard University. He hasbeen a writer for the hit shows "SaturdayNight Live" and "The Simpsons," andhe's only thirty. For the past two years hehas been working in Los Angeles as awriter/producer for "The Simpsons."

There was much surprise ex-pressed from people in the "business"over the choice of O'Brien, because therehad been several celebrities, includingDana Carvey and Gary Shandling, try-ing out for the spot. Apparently,O'Brien's audition went extremely welland NBC felt more comfortable with aman who wasabighitbehind the camerafirst. O'Brien wrote and then preformedhis own audition show of "Late Night"for the NBC executives.

This marks the closing of a greatera. After eleven years David Lettermanwill no longer be seen on NBC at 12:30a.m., EST. Even though Letterman ismoving to an hour earlier on CBS there isno guarantee that it will be the same.There will probably be a different set andamore discernible effort to compete with"The Tonight Show," which is also on at11:30 p.m., the time of Letterman's new

But, let us not take away the happi-ness of Conan O'Brien and his new job.We'll wait and watch intently for his firstshow this coming August and then de-cide. But honestly, it'll never be thesame.

The Hist 100 DaysBY RACHEL D. GOT DWorld & Nation Writer

Well, it's been one hundred dayssince Bill Clinton took over the masterbedroom in the White House, and somepeople are asking what he's done sincehe got there. We heard a lot of promisesduring the election, a lot of talk about"hope" (although it was often unclear asto whether or not he was referring towhere he came from or where he wasgoing), and those who voted for himhavebeen waiting withbaitedbreath forthe all-out Washington renovation we'veheard so much about. J

In articles printed just this week inTime and Newsweek, our President hasbeen accused of being everything fromarrogant to "profoundly inconclusive."However, while the man has yet to re-write history, it is hardly justified to labelhim as completely inept. Clinton ran onpromises which were quite liberal in na-

through his belief in true democracy,which includes, among other things, par-ticipation. Furthermore, it would be fool-ish for any one of Clinton's supporters tothink that a man who propagated therights of oppressed minorities wouldsuddenly decide to discount the input ofall those involved in or affected by adecision-making process.

A second criticism of Clinton hasbeen his somewhat college-like approachof organized chaos in his day-to-dayoperation of things. All-nighters and theatmosphere he has created in the pvaloffice through casual, laid back thinksessions and discourse contribute to thisperception. But aren't these ftiihgs we allrelate to? If nothing else> these are signsof hard work and dedication. And whilepebple attribute these seemingly laissez-faire attitudes of his as-.the, root of hisapparent lack of leadership, this is hisstyle.

It's worked for him before, and

lure. When viewed in this general light,our President hasn't failed us.

His first initiative? Homosexualsin the military. Facing the Joint Chiefs ofStaff head-on, Clinton's only real mis-take here was timing. An issue that ev-eryone knew wasn'lgonriatfl.y without afight in the world's oldest boys' club,required a little more contemplation andplanning and a little less knee-jerk activ-ism.,,,-.,, Then there was the question offilling the Attorney General's chair at thecabinet meetings. Wanting desperatelyto maintain his PC image, President Clin-ton, at firk, only interviewed women forthe' position. His choice? ZoeBaird...majqr faux pas, but the chair isnow being kept warm by Janet Reno.

Then came the long-awaitedhealth-care system attack. As we all know,Hillary and her compadres are workinglong and hard to formulate a solution.There may be more on that this week. Ofcourse, the one issue on everyone's mindis their purses, and on this issue, muchhas been heard, but little confirmed.Over 150 programs have been cut andeliminated, taxes have been cut, ta*eshave,been increased, but to no seemingavail*. And here-in lies the President'sproblem.

isn't the true sign of a leader one who canget things done his or her way? Whilethings may not seem to be conforming tohis standards as of yet, eventually, whenpeople realize that no one's going any-where without conceding somewhat tothe man who yields the ultimate powerdown there/perhaps everything will fallinto place and the reforms we've all beenwaiting for will fall into place right alongwith them.

I don't speak blindly. While Timethis week stated that "Clinton has a dis-approval rating higher than that of anyother President at a comparable point," arecent Newsweek survey begs to differ.52% approved of the way Clinton is han-dling his new job, as opposed to 32%who disapprove. 65% believe that Clin-ton has achieved about what was ex-pected by this point in time. And, moreimportantly, 65% believe that he "caresabout people like me" and "has pickedgood people for his administration."

These are the reasons we electedhim in the firstplace. And, finally, 85% ofthose surveyed by Newsweek felt that BillClinton is "finding national problemstougher than he thought." The idea thatClinton is still one of us in a sense hasapparently kept the nation relativelyhappy as he struggles to learn his newjob,.

The Future of Trinity College: Is It lime For Change?Trinitu: The Rat WittiABushy Tail Trinity And The American Future

*s *•' nvTHnii/fAQI r'ATT AW

BY EMMA IRVINE-ROBINSONDialogue Writer

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Which came first, Trinity's "status"and reputation or thequality of learning? The answers seem pretty obvious. Twoalmost chickens came together to produce the first egg. And although goodprofessors and students are attracted by a reputation, am I naive to assume that onceupon a time people came to Trinity to expand their minds and a prestige developedfrom there?

Today; if you ask someone to describe Trinity they will talk about positionson certain lists and an "almost Ivy League" status. They say things like "Tom Geretyis trying to bring us back to what we once were, make us 'number fifteen' again." Ina world bent on resumes and employment prospects, College is increasingly not aplace to learn but a place where a professional person needs to live for four yearsbefore they can move on. Some students come here for a name on a certificate withoutfocusing on the learning and growing they hope to do as individuals and withoutappreciating the opportunities they have arcmnd them. Meanwhile classes are just"credits" and papers are things to hate and "get out of the way." Our generation hasa career pressure our parents often do no t understand. We enter the world in debt andcompete for few jobs. Yet am I being idealistic in hoping for a day when positive-thinking and academic "joy" while at college is not corny or eyebrow-raising?

It may seem abstract but the future of Trinity rests on its study skills. As longas the library is a place to be social and papers are merely annoyances there is littlehope, I have noticed a strange phenomenon. People are afraid to be alone andbecause good studying demands solitude, they sacrifice it for a social experienceinvolving coffee, flirting and constant murmuring. Motivation often seems to comefrom a focus on the end result, the necessity for graduation. Some even give theimpression classes are an inconvenience. When students only have a few hours aweek of classes to attend, many are missed, Yesterday, a girl in the mailroom rejoicedthat she had succeeded in organizing her classes around her soaps. The future ofTrinity is the future of America in miniature. People need to be self-a ware, to respectothers, to appreciate what they have, to not be embarrassed by enthusiasm.

In its non-academic problems, Trinity is also a microcosm. An apathetic richwhite upper middle class is blind to racial prejudice and attempts to close itself offfrom the problems of the inner city. A group of committed active people work hard-please, don't say resumes are a motivation-but a majority does not always supportthem. Others have lost hope and resort to cynicism. Alcohol is rampant and abused.There is an inequality in the political structure, communication is limited. Morale iscrucial. How many conversations have I heard where students criticize Trinity withsweeping general negative statements? I have lost count of the people who talk abouttransferring, or regret not having done so; but escape is impossible, Yale issurrounded by a neighborhood with difficulties and prospectives increasingly seemto ask about security and focus on the inner city environment on all campuses.

I read lists of rich names in various publications. People who pour theirmpneyutfo Trinity in vast quantities meanwhile the surrounding streets of Hartfordare ignored and people continue to fear. Trinity will only survive if it gets in touchwith the city around it. "Close" the campus and you have merely put in concrete andmetal the barriers America's white upper classes already have in their minds. People 'scrabble in fear without thinking about practicalities or their responsibilities: •

If the campus is closed I only hope the Hartford squirrels will rise up", no'metaphor intended. They may look cute but they are really only rats with bushy tails.'They have watched the "walks of shame" and heard the people who would never :

admit to enjoying a class. They are preparing, waiting for their time. They are'watching you, seeing who values their time at Trinity and who seeks a life wrappedin cotton wool. The day the fences go up they will rise and wage preppie war....

Trinity At Its BoilingPointBY SADIA MOHAMMADDialogue Writer .-. • .

As I sit here trying to think of Trinity's future I find it is quite a task, since myimagination cannot even stretch far enough to realize my own future. I am told,however, that my dilemma is similar to the dilemma of most students my age. Thereis a universality of youth and mankind which leads me to believe that even if Trinitymight change outwardly it will not change essentially as long as It caters to the sameage group of people. Although there will always be the same emotions and motivespushing students forward and the same activities hindering their productivity, when

The social revolution needed at Trinity has to come fromwithin the community not from without to make it effective.

I give it some more thought I realize that the way in which their pursuits will occurwill definitely be affected. ;

This contemplation leads me to think of what I perceive happening in presenttime which will effect Trinity's future. My mind stops on two things— theadministration's decision concerning the Greek life at Trinity and the currentdecision to fund a house for La Voz Latina. Unlike most of my peers I look on thesedecisions with some apprehension.

Firstly, even though most of the effects of the decision on the Greek organiza-.tions are debatable, one thing is certain, that it was a decision that oppresses the willand the voice of the students, being a step directly concerning them and yet havingbeen made without their deliberation. As I try to imagine Trinity's social future in thelight of this I do not know whether it will improve or make the Fraternities all themore enticing because of their becoming forbidden fruit. Suppression, as history hasproven, only breeds perversity. The social revolution needed at Trinity has to comefrom within the community not from without to make it effective. • ' •;

While the school is making efforts to kill separatism in the Trinity communityit is contradicting itself by the recent decision to have a house for La Voz Latina. I donot think this will in any way encourage diversity on the contrary it will hinderintegration. To borrow the vision of a friend holding similar views, "Trinity will beone big quad with houses accommodating all stereotypes, every one will respecteveryone else's views but no one will really listen or really care."

BY THOMAS J. CATLAWDialogue Editor

The problems of this community do not go unnoticed even if often they gountreated. They are known to all of us; we see them right in front of us when we walkhome, when we sit in class, when we go out on the weekends. But the sights andsounds of Trinity's very real deficiencies have never been enough to generate effortsto ameliorate them. Apathy has been the over used excuse from the student body andcollege handbooks for the campus' lack of creativity in developing intelligentsolutions for its problems. But apathy in and of itself tells us nothing. Apathetic incomparison to what? The 1960s? The students of that era deserve a little praise fortheir concern and belief in positive change. But we cannot allow ourselves to beovershadowed any longer by the unfulfilled promises and useless pretension ofanother generation. We need to move on . The solutions of the 1960s will not solvethe problems of American nor Trinity in the 1990s.

Or, perhaps, apathetic compared to Wesleyan? Is Wesleyan University a moreaccurate portrayal of the world? Is the world as rosy and accepting as Wesleyanwould like to believe it is? It is not, though this is not to imply we shouldn't aim tomake it that way. Wesleyan and Trinity represent an interesting juxtaposition ofpresent and future. Let us grant Wesleyan its "progressive" reputation as a bastionof academic liberalism. It has attained a very impressive level of intellectual andracial acceptance, portentous nuances of which we need not grapple with here. ButWesleyaiVs progressiveness is in and of itself no indication of where America isgoing. Trinity, for its part though, is very much an indication of where America isright now. It's in line with its times.

Trinity, is experiencing the pains of necessary change which are currentlyafflicting all o'f America. These pains are due in large part to the legacy of the Reaganyears which was not simply absorbed by Trinity but America as well. It was thelegacy of passing the buck to the next generation, of postponing the resolution oftoday's problems until tomorrow. In this Trinity has acted in "good" faith. This isexactly what we have done. For more than a decade Trinity has failed to address itsserious structural deficiencies which were no less obvious than they are today, butwent completely ignored. We epitomize the contradictions in the American systemexacerbated during the Reagan years. Trinity grew in wealth as the communitysurrounding it decayed and fell into disrepair. We simply didn't care. Was thisapathy so strange? Not at all, Nobody cared.

Trinity's apathetic reputation can only be understood in this context— not incomparison historically to the 1960s nor socially to Wesleyan in 1990. And thenecessity of change on this campus can only be understood in terms which apply toAmerica as a nation, Both of us have reach critical mass. The opportunity has beenpresented to rebuild a society left to rot for the benefit of a small, rich, white minority,or allow the process of decay to continue until we plunge into bloodshed. Trinity'ssuccess strikes me as absolutely crucial to this process of change and reform. Thetension and anger currently pulsing through this community is what this country isfeeling. It is the frustrating problem of uprooting traditional American interests forthe sake of agreater whole without at the same time alienating those old interestsfrom the arena oidiseu^on.itieiaciagihAMrvpleasant truth that some got a free rideduring the 1980s and that we all must now pay for their extravagance. It is thedilemma of overcoming division while preserving our individual identities.

These are the problems facing Trinity. Will we succeed in resolving them? Thisisn't even the issue. We cannot think as many here do that Trinity is a dying ins tiutionlest we irrevocably damn ourselves. We can afford no other opinion but optimism.If we are truly the spirit of our times, we will rise and fall with them. And thus ifAmerica is to succeed, Trinity must succeed.

The Tides of Change At Trinity, BYAMYTATKO

Dialogue Editor

Trinity is what we make it, and in the past four years I have witnessedindividual initiative mesh with collective efforts to create a new tide of change on ourcampus. The activism and energy of this year in particular indicate that the futureof Trinity may indeed entail a sharp break with the past. Trinity has for years had areputation for breeding connoisseurs of beer, frats, and L.L. Bean, and to any collegeguidebook, perhaps those basic qualities will always remain the same. Yet, for thoseof us who sense and create a new time for Trinity, the apathy of the past cannot betolerated and recent progress must be cultivated and continued.

The biggest change obviously was the Trustees' decision to abolish single-sexGreek organizations. Supposedly the majority of our student body supports theGreeks and were outraged by this decision. (Oh well.) But Trinity is ready to moveon to bigger arid better things; in implementing the Trustees' decision, our campuswill create a new social atmosphere. As we have already seen by the example of ElmsCommunity, students will realize new organizations and find new places and waysto socialize. The dichotomy between intellectual and social lives may grow cloudieras we learn to live together arid have fun together in different ways.

The events of recent months also demonstrate that this tide of change has hitTrinity. FromLa Voz Latino to E.R.O.S.(EncouragingRespectOfSexualities), Trinitystudents of all ethnicities and sexualities, i.e. folks of all types, are coming forwardto say that the beer-drinking, frat-loving structures of Trinity exclude too manypeople. Is this just muti-culruralism and political correctness? I think it's reality;Trinity is not homogeneous and enjoys a student community of interesting anddiverse individuals. And even beneath all those baseball hats and J. Crew shirts liea plethora of personalities, interests, desires, and needs. The time has come to createan atmosphere in which we may all express ourselves, find our niche, and pave ourown way through our academics and social lives.

May 4, 1993 • THE TRINITY TRIPOD ARTSNEA Funding IncreaseStirs Up More Controversy

'1'he controversy over federal fund-ing for the arlH has once again resurfacedas the Congressional AppropriationsCommittee continues its budgetary hear-ing process this week. Public witnesseswill testify on behalf of the National Kn-dowment for the Arts (NEA) in front oftheAppropriationsSubcommitteeontheInterior on May 5th. This will be anextremely important step in the alloca-tion process as the position of many newmembers on arts funding is still un-known.

President Clinton has proposedthat the beleaguered NEA receive $174.5million, a $134,(XXHncr w> from lastyear.This seemingly minuscule boost wastaken as an encouraging sign that the artsare important to Clinton and that the

the Justice Department's appeal of afed-eral judge's ruling which declared un-constitutional a requirement that theEndowment apply a "standard of de-cency" when awarding grants.

The appeal was filed two weeksago in the infamous freedom of expres-sion case, Finley v. NEA, in which a fed-eral court ruled last June that the govern-ment may not control the content of fed-erally funded art.

The suit, which originated in Sep-tember of 1990, was brought about byfour artists, Karen Finley, John Fleck,Holly Hughes, and Tim Miller, who allcontended that they were denied grantsfrom the NEA for political reasons. Allfour deal with sexual themes in theirwork.

The suit challenges the constitu-tionality of the 1990 reauthorizalion leg-islation which requires that the NEA con-

"Whether in the national context or the college context,artists speak in ways that aren't always comfortable.Calling those artistic constraints into question is animportant function of the college artist/'— Katherine Power,Assistant Professor of Theatre and Dancefierce debate over the public funding forthe arts may be waning. The history ofthe Hndowmenl, especially over the past12 years, ha.s been fraught with contro-versy over its peer panel review systemas well as the use of federal funds forallegedly sexually explicit artwork.

Ai'ts advocates see the increase asmore, than just financial support. Its alsosymbolizes tacit approval oJ the JMHA.

"1 am very glad WIT held steady/'said Judith CJolub, executive director ofthe American Arts Alliance. The Alli-ance i.s an arts lobbying organi/at ion thatrepresents over 4(X) arts associations.

Despite the increased allocation,the administration reduced thi? postalsubsidy that serves as an integral part ofarts organizations as well as other non-profit groups. Postage fees are an essen-tial part of the operating costs of manymuseums, theaters, and dance compa-nies. Despite heavy lobbying, theCJintonbudget only calls for $91.4 million for thesubsidy of all non-profit groups as op-posed to last year's appropriation of$121.9 million.

This defeat might affect the wellbeing of many arts groups, said Golub,"We are going to try to develop a perma-nent legislation remedy," she noted.

Also facing the troubled NF.A is

sider, "general standards of decency"when reviewing proposals. The artistscharged that the language of the statutewas vague.

The implications of this suit are farreaching. "Whether in the national con-text or the college context, artists speakin ways that aren't always comfortable,"said Trinity's Katherine Power, Assis-tant Ptoietmox of Theatre and Dance,"Calling those artistic constraints intoquestion is an important function of thecollege artist."

The decency standard was struck ,down on the grounds that (he FirstAmendment protects unpopular speechand was a standard too vague to beunderstandable by the average person.

The lower court also ruled thatRustv. Sullivan, the Supreme Court abor-tion "gag rule" case that allows contentbased restrictions on speech funded bythe government, could not properly beapplied to the arts because of the FirstAmendment interest in artistic expres-sion.

Its outcome yet unknown, many(i rt.s supporters see the upcoming case asClinton's litmus test on arts issues, "Art-ists really backed Clinton," said Power,"It is very disappointing to see this kindof censorship rear its ugly head."

The Night We Never Met:A Great End to the Semester

by Dana Meaehen and Chris RauTRIPOD FILM CRITICS

CHRIS:

For the final movie review of our college career, Dana and I went to see TheNight We Never Met, a little known romantic comedy starring Matthew Broderick.I am happy to say that we can close out this column with a good review. In thespirit of When Harry Met Sally, The Night We Never Met is a cute love story with theperfect mixture of light comedy, sad moments, and a happy ending.

The movie is about three people who share an apartment by each rentingit two nights a week. Brian is a rich stockbroker who is getting married, butdoesn't want to give up his bachelor.pad. As a compromise he decides to rent itout to other people part of the week. Ellen is an unhappy wife who wants sometime alone to paint and reflect on her life. Sam is a lonely bachelor who just wantssome time away from his apartment which he seems to share with about fiftyother people. So all three arrange a schedule so that each has the apartment twodays a week. But the whole thing is arranged by Brian's secretary, so the threenever m^et. ,

As the movie progresses, each of the main characters continue with theirown lives, and yet develop new relationships with the new roommates who theyhave never met. Although it becomes a bit obvious where the movie is headed, itdoesn't matter. It's just fun watching the characters evolve, and you find yourselfrooting for certain people to get together. All three characters are very different,but you get to know each one and feel a part of their lives. The supporting cast isexcellent, even Justine Bateman, who has done little since "Family Ties."

The highlights of the film are the performances of Anabelle Sciora andMatthew Broderick. Both are amazing. Broderick really seems to have grown upsince his days as Ferris Bueller, and his sarcastic comedy is more ma ture and I thinkmuch better than in Biloxi Blues. He belongs in a film like this, which although itmay never make hundreds of millions of dollars, is a much higher quality film,Sciora is also excellent. She is very attractive, but you just feel very sorry for hercharacter. As the movie progresses, you can't help but hope that she findshappiness.

All in all, The Night We Never Met is a very entertaining film. I think it couldbe a sleeper hit, but most probably with all the blockbusters soon to be releasedit will be forgotten. But if you have the opportunity, take a chance, you willprobably like it more than most of the bigger names during the summer. I give themovie three stars. I know stars are a little boring, but hey, it's our last review, andI want to feel like a traditional movie critic.

This movie made you feel good inside, and even thoughyou may be able to predict the end, you laugh yourway there, say "aww" in the right places, and gener-ally have a good time.

DANA:

I feel like every week when we write these reviews, Chris and I say that amoviehad the potential to be really great, but fell short. Well, this week, we wentto Tlie Night We Never Met expecting a mediocre film and instead got our fullmoney's worth and then some.

This film didn't have any guns or suspense or police or cheesy lines or flatcharacters or Hollywood fluff. It was just simply a good movie. I've forgottenwhat it's like to see one. It mixed romance with just enough comedy and justenough drama, But above all was its depiction of its characters. By limiting itselfto three, this film was able to delve deeply into the lives and problems of thischeese salesman, nurse, and broker.

Matthew Broderick always pops up in great movies, like Ferris Bueller's DayOff and Glory. My only complaintabouthim used to be thatthathe always lookedreally young. For the first time in The Night We Never Met, he is starting to lookmature. And he is really believable as Sam, a great cook who is just tryingdesperately to get a date.

This movie showed the good and the bad sides of men. On the otherextreme from the thoughtful and considerate Matthew Broderick was Brian, a fratguy, engaged to be married, butstill pathetically clinging to his old bachelor life.Brian acts out all of the stereotypes of the typical fraternity guy. ^

Even though people cringe when you call something a "feel-good movte,Ican'thelp butuse the term here. This movie made you feel good inside, and eventhough you may be able to predict the end, you laugh your way there, say "aww"in the rightplaces, and generally have a good time. I'm giving TheNtght We NeverMrfthreestarstoo. Don'twairforthisonetocomeoutontape. TheNight WeNeverMet made me remember what going to the movies is all about.

Shadow Program HostsBetances Elementary KidsBYKflU.YCANRIGHTMetro-Hartford Editor

Community Outreach hasprovento be nn invaluable asset to the commu-nity again. On April 23, Trinity .spon-sored Shadow Day, a program that nl-IOWH elementary school children to fol-low around college students for a dayand explore all aspects of college life,including classes, discussions with pro-fessors, and other activities.

The sixth grade students atBetances Elementary School have goneto the University of Connecticut the lastfour years as a part of the Shadow Pro-gram with the idea in mind that thisprogram would expose younger stu-dents to a college environment. In turn,this would allow them to be inspired todo well in school and also give them afeel for what sort of work lies ahead ofthem in high school in order to reachtheir goals.

This year, UConn was unable tosponsor the program In response Trin-ity offered to host the .students. Therewas ,i .successful turnout, includingeighty sixth graders and about sixtyTrinity students, which required somedoubling up on the part of the collegestudents.

Several professors and other fac-ulty and administration membersspoke to the sixth graders with muchsuccess. Angela Ringwood who isassistant director of admissions kepta lively interest in the students, andProfessor Jerry Watts kept the wholecrowd laughing and entertained the,entire time.

This event was successfulmostly because of the diversity in theparticipators at Trinity. Members ofCommunity Outreach, Pan AfricanAlliance, La Voz Lalina, and a varietyof others took part "the situation wasgenerally overwhelming for the sixthgraders, but they all had a very goodtime." Dawn Hines'93 said/T thoughtit the Shadow Program was reallysuccessful, and that the studentslearned a great deal. Hie most impor-tant thing was the fact that we weredivided up individually with the stu-dents which personalized the experi-ence rather than grouping us withseveral students whom we wouldn'thave been able to get to know."

The Shadow Program provedto be an excellent aspect for both theTrinity community and the people ofHartford. Hopefully, Trinity will con-tinue to host similar events.

A Farewell To HartfoidBYTAYWISEMetro-Hartford Editor

I found out I was going to be theeditor of the Metro-Hartford section alittle less than a year ago, the same nightIfoundoutlwasn'tgoingto be the editorof the News Section. Next semester, Ithought to myself.

That summer, I went home, still alittle bitter. I didn't know anything aboutHartford, I didn't like the city, neverventured out from Trinity. It was unsafe,ugly. Themorelthoughtaboutit,though,the more I saw opportunities. And whenI came back to Trinity this fall, for the firsttime I looked out my car window atHartford, instead of reading a magazine

Trinity and just walk around the city.Talk to the people who make it run, tryand figure out the subtle shadings of big-city politics. And then, for God's sake, asif that weren'tfun enough, write aboutit.So many people see this city as a minorinconvenience they have to go throughto get from here to the airport. So manypeople here see the people who live inthis city as alien, some species of dis-tinctly inscrutable foreign creature.

But the fact is that we live here too,not just in Trinity, but in Hartford. Andthe fact is that what happens to Hartfordaffects Trinity, and everyone who goeshere.

Last semester, I interviewed awoman named Annamaria Garcia, the

The Free Thinking Lemming: A Stray Of College In A Tolerant WorldBY BRIAN TOHNSONFeatures Writer

Knally, my mind was aclean slate.

Over the course of fouryears, I've been trying to changeover to the obviously preferredmind free of any incorrectthoughts based on society, thesystem, or anything institution-alized. I never understood whatthese intentionally vague, schol-arly terms meant specifically,but I had been told many timesover by professors and studentsalike that they were large, evilentities which had been decadesin the making and producedhorribly oppressive viewpoin ts,especially within white maleslike myself.

Were I to disagree, andsay that I am no such product ofthese foul, nebulous entities, and

that my philosophies are sub-stantiated by rationalthought, I would be subjected tothe mother of all accusations-thai my promulgation of oppres-sive ideas is such an inbred traitthat it is unrecognizable to me,and only recognizable to thesubsequent victims. If what'swrong with me is undetectableto me, I can't very well refutedits existence.

Similarly, I ardently be-lieve that the spirit of God oftensits behind my fan, and it is blow-ing about my room only whenusing the medium setting-you're just incapable of seeingit. Try and prove me wrong. So,within the clever sophistry ofthis line of argument, it is possi-bly true. Like an undetectablekidney stone, all I could do washope I would pass somehow andknow.

After hundreds of morn-ings of waking up and havingno sense that what I couldn'tdetect was gone, it finally hap-pened by some act of providenceby the god of special interests. I,at long last, rose with a cleansedmind.

How did I know, youmight ask? You just know fromthe inside- trust me. It's a feel-ing that makes you want to cryalong with the others who feelthat there is injustice some-where. I couldn't wait to go outand experience life anew, andimpress upon my socially puremind whatever I observed.Things would be different now,I was certain of that. I had a newfaith, a sense of camaraderiewith the people of my school. Isprung out of bed, hummingTracy Chapman tunes, ready tocelebrate in the difference s of all

colors, creeds, and cultures, in-cluding my own.

My eyes were heavy dueto the drilling which begins at8:15 a.m. for the new radio sta-tion, but my spirit was light andfrothy. I got ready and headedtomymorningphilosophyclasswhich is taught by an incrediblyknowledgeable man whoseemed to careen off track sus-piciously often toward the topicof young girls and Lewis Carroll.Such a powerful arguer was thismanthatwithin fifteen minutesI had abandoned my religiousbeliefs and joined the wide ranksof the school's agnostics.

Then, unsuspecting, theclass was interrupted by a gangof women who entered withoutpermission. None made eyecontact, but chanted at me (asthe collectiveman) thatif I didn'tstop it, they could cut off my

genitals. And then off they went.I didn't know how to feel, hav-ing personally done nothing todeserve it. However, the pro-fessor was so moved by this dis-play that he canceled the r emain-der of the class. Obviously, hehad to collect himself- butwhether he genuinely cared somuch that he couldn't think, orhe just felt guilty and threat-ened is unknown. He still findsLewis Carroll fascinating.

I walked to lunch, wherethe woman who passes my cardthrough the machine said manythings to me. Not understand-ing a word of it, I grinned andnodded knowingly. I then chosehappily from what they wereserving, poured myself somesoup, and made a salad. I satdown with many of my acquain-tances who, as usual, corfi-

I looked at myturkey, potatoes,and gravy, andtlu'n at the metisattained by therest of the table a tier great labor.I .saw leaves and rice andnoodles, strocij i* seeds and Hell-prepared sauces, I found mytraditional food more appetiz-ing, and couldn't help but won-der what meals might be like intheirhomes, Naturally they din-liked tlie food— it was not bi-zarre enough.

As we chatted above the -noise of the adjacent fraternitylunch table in a predictable veinabout "stressing," "hookingup," and "dealing," a napkinlanded in my gravy.

It was sent by a memberof the adjacent table, and hadobviously missed its intendedtarget. For Ihi.s accident, 1 re-ceived an apology in an insin-cere tone: "oh man, I'm reallysorry, 1 was aiming for someoneelse." His fraternity brothersaround the table found the inci-dent to be of extreme hilarity,and they all laughed heartily, 1tried to see it as good collegefun, and decided to gel moresoup.

While ladling, I overheardthis brief discussion:

BRKNTL.VONCARGINII: Oh, yeah.

At this point, 1 quickly hadto leave the dining hall— Ineared a state of intolerance,which is a stale wrong to oc-cupy.

I went to my afternoonclass, which was a now distribu-tion requirement, "Contempo-rary Feminist Interpretation ofImplied Minority Homosexual-ity in Seventeenth Century Lit-erature," The professor, whohad just recently changed hername to Toni Morrison out ofreverence, insisted that themales in the class refrain fromspeaking at any time. Due to thefact that class participation was50% of our grade, I was not far-ing too well in the course. I feltfor her anger, and was willing tobear the brunt for those whocame before me {and before her),where previous to my newawareness 1 had felt cheated inHit'course.

Alter class, I was in thelocker room getting dressed fortrack practice. I ike the bards ofyore, a few ot the other trackmembers had engaged in songsof their penisi'H, and how thementioned members could sub-ject the oilier track bards to hu-miliation.

ignorant notions as 1 chuckledin good-nalured humiliation.

1 went to dinner aflorprac-tice, and again had to leave pre-maturely due to impending in-tolerance. Then 1 worked on apaper for some time. The night-promised to be one of much rev-elry, as my roommates and Ihad planned once again to at-tend the local college bar, Ihoped that with my new out-look, the experience would befar more enjoyable than the other37 limes I had been there in thelast year. I even donned thetraditional college lid for theoccasion.

As we proceeded to thepub, we encountered many stu-dents and professors holdingcandles by a well known monu-ment, doing so to display unityand promote change. They weredoing this, in retaliation to vio-lent crimes perpetrated by mem-bers of the community, whowere not universally apprecia-tive of being able to use ourhome as a playground and as asource for car parts. Logically,!{bought the candles would re-ally hit home far more effec-tively if they were brandishedin the home of the perpetrators(only one street away). As far asI could tell, after bearing wit-ness to such displays for fouryears, the showing of unity andcalling for change had not pro-duced anything tangible, asprostitutes seem tosttll be founddead in the cemetery, studentsheldatknife-pointfortheircoath",and people raped despite pre-cautions. Realizing I was em-ploying certain rationalities fa-miliar with my aid mode ofthought, 1 tried to follow mynew and sympathetic heart in-stead, Even it was havingtrouble convincing me k> par-ticipate in "my" surroundingcommunity. As we left the vigil,I sincerely hoped that this oneworked.

The four of us arrived atthe bar a bit late, and ah to wailfor a while before we could en-ter the crowded, smoky atmo-sphere. The same music playedthat always played, the samepeople were there that alwayswere there, and the same hair-styles or hats were displayed asusual.

But I saw it from a newperspective, I also saw from afortunately high perspectivemany widely framed, hulkingmembers of a fraternity whowore no pants. What a wonder-ful ideafor an initiation to broth-erhood, I thought to myself.

At the bar, I saw manypeople who greeted me in anuncharacteristically friendlymanner. They were the samepeople I had walked past dur-ing the daytime in a mutuallysober state, and who had pre-tended that they had no due asto who 1 was, or that when wecrossed paths, they didn't no-lice. 1 observed as the most at-tractive women flirted with themost self-involved men. It wasa lesson in the tried and truefacades, and 1 was wondering ifthe facade was .still worn laterwhen the clothes weren't. Myconclusion was yes, it was, sinceit would be the final defenseagainst letting someone insidewithout sacrificing a good feel-ing. As I nurtured my own fed-ing of warm intoxication, t de-cided that my thoughts on the

superficial nature of interper-sonal relationships were causedby an excess of alcohol. I had tohave more faith in the genuine;personal, open expressions offriendship and intimacy at theschool. So that's whatl decidedto embrace as my opinion of thesocial scene.

I happily swaggeredhome, deciding that I had hadenough new experiencefor one day. I was pre-viously planning to trythe late night fraternitylife, despite the fact that thelast time I had tried it, myfriend's tooth was dislodgedand my girlfriend's breast wa-,grabbed. I was simply too tiredto experience it tolerantly.

As I returned home to nuconcrete dorm, I found that someclever prankster had pulled thefire alarm, and once we tiredand cold residents were allowedback in, I found that the candymachine had been overturnedand robbed of its contents, andthat both elevators had beenvandalized to the point ofinoperation.

As I trudged upstairsthrough spilled beer and vomit,I whistled merrily; inspired bythe care-free good-cheer of theparties that wreakecf suchhavoc.When I entered my room, I wasgreeted by the sound of bottlesbeing thro wnout of higher win-dows and shattering on theground. The sound was so thrill-ing that I understood why myintellectual equals dared toper-form such unruly acts. The cli-max to the tossing was the bigthud caused by an ugly paddedchair which had been disposedof in the same way.

This first day I began tofinally feel as one with theschool. I am finally open to allthe ideas and activities which Iso ignoranlly found intolerableand unintelligent before. 1 amsickened by my previous cyni-cism, and am thankful that I amnow in harmony with the idealideas found within tfie walls ofacademia. Soon I will be well onmy way to taking the world bystorm, celebrating differencesand fighting injustice.

Proffle: Jeff Devaraiey Shines In Two SportsI%Y BRIAN WOODWARD';$ports Writer '. ~

It is appropriate that for,the last issue of this year's Tri-pod, we feature one of tixe mosttalented and versatile athletesatTrinity. Jeff Devanney'93has.been a standout performer forboth-the football and baseballteams. Rarely has an athleteexcelled so brilliantly at twosporis.

Jeff has been on Trinity'sFootball team for the past fouryears, and this past season, hestarted at the free safety posi-tion. Jeff had one of the mostoutstanding seasons any Trin-ity player has had in recentmemory.

Jeff was voted to the 1992Champion USA Division HI AU-American Football SecondTeam, the EC AC's First All-StarTeam for Division III, theNESCAC All-Star Team, andwas named the NESCAC's De-fensive Player of the Year.

For his performanceagainst Middlebury (Trinitythrashed Middlebury 43-0), Jeffreceived the New England GoldHelmet Award, which is pre-sented to one player from theDivision II-III ranks.

To complete Jeff's laun-dry list of football accomplish-ments, he was voted the team'smost outstanding defensiveplayer. Not too bad for a kidwhose father wouldn't let himplay football until he was inhighschoolbecausehe was too small.

On the basebafc field, Jeffis having a fantastic year, play-ing centerfield for the 11-8 Ban-tams. As of last week, Jeff led

the team in runs scored, RBIs,•slugging percentage, stolenbases, home runs (5), and isfourth on the team in battingaverage .320. His five home runsare just two short of Trinity'ssingle season record.

As 'well as Jeff is perform-ing individually, Jeff has beendisappointed by the team's .500record. "For the seniors thisseasonhasbeen disappointing,"admits Jeff. The team's play is abit frustrating considering theteam finished 19-9 last season,and has 14 letterwinners fromlast season on their roster.

The team hasn't playedpoorly as compared with lastseason; the Bantams have justlet a few very winnable gamesslip away. "We made the bigplays last year. Baseball is agame of streaks, and unfortu-nately the season has beenshort," explains Jeff. Too shortto get a good streak going.

Jeff began playing base-ball when he was nine years oldin his hometown of Niantic,Conn. Football was a differentstory. Jeff was not allowed toplay until high school, becausehis father, a football coach him-self, felt Jeff was not quite bigenough. When Jeff finallystarted playing football andbaseball at East Lyme HighSchool, he was able to excel inboth sports.

When it was time for Jeffto look at colleges, Trinity took agreat interest in Jeff's footballability, and was able to persuadehim to play for the Bantams in-stead of Coast Guea&'$£f£sj&s*x»&ther is a graduate of the Coast kinder to them than late April.Guard Academy, and accord- Off the field, Jeff is a his-

ing to Jeff, his father did his bestto encourage his son to attendthe Academy.

Jeff feels pretty positiveabout his decision to come to.Trinity, however. "If you eversee my room, you'D know whyI didn't go to Coast'Guard."

Jeff decided to only playfootball his freshman year. Jeff,though, had a craving to playbaseball again, and decided totry out for the 1991 team.

Jeff was also encouragedby first year coach, Bill Decker,who is also the football team'slinebacker coach. "CoachDecker had a lot of patience. Ittook awhile to recover from theyearoff/'explainsjeff. Decker'spatience paid off as Jeff hit animpressive .320 for the 1991 sea-son.

Last season, the Bantamssurpassed all expectations withsuch a young squad. Theyposted a 19-9 record and set anew school record for most winsin a season. Trinity hosted theEC AC tournament and receivedthenumber-oneseed. "Thatwasa big day. Having the tourna-ment here, and getting word !i\atwe were ranked #1," recalls Jeff.Unfortunately, the Bantamscouldn't get past the semifinals,as they fell 6-4 to Salem State.

Coming into the 1993 cam-paign, the Bantams were expect-ing a lot from themselves, andstill have the opportunity to dowell. The weather and latespring break haven't helped theteam, but the Bantams are notmaking excuses. .The Bantams

2-1 Week Keeps Women's Softball In Playoff ChaseBYJONMOSKOWJTZSports Writer

The Trinity Women's Softball teamcontinues to impress, but failed onceagain to complete a "week undefeated.The Bantams went 2-1 on the week, split-ting a doubleheader with Albertus, andlooked impressive with a win againstMount Holyoke.

On Tuesday, the women playedtheir last home game of the season. Itwas the final home appearance for se-niors Angela DeNicola, Julie Roy, JodiFalcigno, Lea Macaro and KathyMoynagh.

Men's Rugby StrongBY PKTIik KNIGHTSports Writer

Due to the length andseverity of the winter, theTrinity Rugby team got off toa delayed start this spring.

Theannual tournamentin Providence, normally thepinnacle of the season, turnedout to be the Bantam's firstouting. Despite limited prac-tice hours, Trinity fielded amixture of youth and experi-ence in a 7-0 first round vic-tory over the University ofMaine.

Capitalizing on theirmomentum, the Bantamsrolled past the arrogant Ply-mouth state 17-5 for a gratify-ing second time this year, Bythe time the Bantams reachedthe quarter final round fortheir third match of the day,injuries to valuable playersJeff Heavey '93 and PaulPearlman '95 chipped awayat their stead ily mounting suc-cess. In a hard fought match,a seasoned lona team edgedout the Bantams by a score of10-6.

Though bruised anddepleted,Trinity pulled them-selves together for a success-ful mid-week effort againstthe University of Connecti-cut. From there, it was on tothe Wesleyan Tournament,where the Bantams playedtheir three final matches.

The well rested Trinitysquad came on strong, mow-

ing down their first two op-ponents, Wesleyan (34-7) andthe University of Hartford(27-0).

The Bantams, how-ever, entered the final rounda little fiat, and with inflatedconfidence over their previ-ous victories. Unable to profitfrom a late comeback, theBantams ended their seasonwith a narrow, but disap-pointing 6-5 loss to ConnCollege.

Trinity's season wasmarked by exceptional playfrom both backs and for-wards. The welcome addi-tion this season of SaulSnowise '93, added extrapower to an already strongfront row with co-captainSteve Skillman. SophomoreChris Bond dominated lineouts, and provided generallyoutstanding play at eightman.

For the backs, hard run-ning senior co-captain TripPierson led his team up themiddleat outside center. Jun-iors Joe Aurilio and Joe Genealong with senior SteveGrimsrud also bolstered theBantam offense with theirshare of powerful charges.

Though its eyes arefixed firmly on the futurewith a strong crop of return-ing underclassmen, Trinityrugby will surely miss thesenior leadership of captainsSteve Skillman and TripPierson.
