By Andrew Rodwin

Nuclear power is a big issue in New London and, as a relUlt,there is a constant stream of headlines concerning it. In additionto a nuclear sub base in Groton, there are two operationalnuclear power plants located in Waterford on Millstone Point.These are Millstone I and Millstone II, and a third plant,Millstone III. is under construction, There is a fourth reactoronly twenty miles from New London, in Haddam, cr.What price is being paid for the energy these plants generate?

The files on nuclear power are suggestive and disturbing:

-Explosions at Millstone last December caused worken to beexposed to high levels of radioactivity.

-According to controversial studies, cancer rates in the NewLondon area have skyrocketed, possibly as a result of radiation.

-Thermally polluted water is dumped into Long Island Sound.Radioactively contaminated water has also been inadvertentlydumped into the Sound as a result of accidents at Millstone.

-Nuclear shipments. can be stolen, as they were overseas in1968.

ILLUSTRATION BY MAX MOORE AND ELMO~ ,.,0'11':' ~77· ' ~

-Aging nuclear plants cannot be used. They must bedismantled or "mothballed", in which case security must bestringent.

The problem is complicted by the energy bind that the world isnow in. Presently, there is a growing awareness of the con-siderable debt to the ecosystem since the Industrial Revolution.Exploitation of the environment threatens to leave it bankrupt.Proponents of nuclear power claim that nuclear energy is theremedy to the problem, as it will conserve depleting oil reser-ves. They say that nuclear power is cheap and, because ofradiation guidelines, it is also safe. Above all, the advocatesmaintain that nuclear power is necessary, that nuclear power isneeded for energy and energy for survival. Vehementarguments can be made on both sides of the wue. There ap-pears to be little room for a "mtddle-of-the-road" stand.

This past summer, at the anti-nuke demonstration in~abrook, New Hampshire, it became clear that the wue isdefined by imminence. The anti-nuke movement suggests that adecision must soon be made about nuclear power.Perhaps the'SO's, like the 'SO's, is destined to be an era of

'actlvism. If the 'SO's is such a decade, then the wue of nuclearpower will probably be at the fore.

To the Editor:

I expect our coll....... in PhysicalPlant will respOnd in detail to thecharges Andrew Ogilvie baa made Inhis harrowing accounl of his summerjob on campU8. What ! want to speakabout is my dismay at an asaumpUon !see at work in his piece and in theeditorial comment accompanying II:the assumpllon that the col'ege com-munlly is a group of divided Interests.The members of the Physical Plantdepartment, like the faculty, theResidency deparbnent and the resl ofthe administrative staff, are here forthe same reason that members of thestudent body are here: the college is anenterprise and a group of people theywant to iden.!ify thF!J1aelves with.Exceptions to this are U8uallT c... •spicuOUB, even to themselves, and tendto remove themselves from our midst.The college Is.a common enterprise,

and if you want to look at it negatively,everyone pays a price to belong to it.The price a student pays is only themoat obvious. People who work In theadministration, in Physical Plant, InCU8todial jobs and housekeeping ser·vices, like faculty members, receive1088 than they could be paid for thesame work elsewhere. Whenhousekeeping employees at Yale wenton strike a year ago, their aalarles werealready higher than our college canafford to pay for such services today.We have always been fortunate inhaving ~p1e wbo work and teach

ON CAMPUS

A unique high down underBy Mark W. Hall

Dr. Juli, an assistant professor ofanthropology at Connecticut College,and some of his students are in theprocess of excavating an oldPequot Indian fort. The site sits on thehighest point in Groton, with asweeping view of the surroundingcountryside, the sea, and even LonKIsland, on a clear day. It's theview of the area that explainswhy the Pequot Indians chose thiS slopefor one of their several forts. Fromwhat little i. known about them, itappears that the Pequot were a war-like group, exacting tribute from tribesas far away as Massachusetts and LongIsland. However, their power wasbroken forever in the pequot-MohicanWar of 1636when they were defeated inMystic by Puritans pushing for whiteexpansion.The fortified hilltop wss again oc-

cupied in 1651 when John Winthrop,founder of the New London Colony,moved the remnant Pequots there, tocreate a village, which they lived inuntil 1721.Articulate and enthusiastic about this

subject, Dr. Juli energetically em-

phasized that the main thrust of hisstudy concerns the Indians at point ofEuropean contact and encompaaaes notjust anthropology, but history and arthistory as well.His own experience with archaeology

includes digs in such places as Alaska,New England, Peru, and lBrael; aDdhad only just discovered this nearbypotential bonanza last swnmer, aftertalking with local historians.For the moment, only test pita to

determine site locations have beensunk, with full-scale excavstion slatedfor next spring and swnmer. Ex-pectations are high for ample materialevidence, including the remains offortifications, dwelling Burfacel,ceremonial areas, etc.Already, artifacts like Colonial and

Indian pottery, old nails, and an ancientpipe are awaiting the cleaning,processing, and cataloguing thatbefalls every item uncovered.Student turnout to the site baa been

termed excellent with as many as twodozen attending a couple of weeks ago.ODe senior I Charles Sorrentino,described the dig philosophically interms of a singular experience full ofcommon-group feelings. "It's a unique

type of 'high'," he elaborated, "torealize what people were up to then andtouching their lives. It's likeestabUshing a sort of con-tinuity ... <betweenJ a whole world ofthings that have been, and will be,before me," Sorrentino also agreed.to II'loliCh of m'6aOcliiSih7'jiOmtliiil to "hispoison ivy and infected eye.Helen Wheeler, another solicited

student, is taking the project as anindependent study for her anthropologymajor and thus vieWJ the practice ofusing field techniques as veryeducational. 14You can't teach ex-cavation in the classroom," com-mented Wheeler, "The only way tolearn it is by doing it... (and fmding out)what it's like to 'get dirty', as theysay."So what is the real point about this

archaeological dig? Dr. Juli swnmedup the entire subject in philosophicalterms when he pondered aloud aboutthe pequot Indians and their fate. In somany worda, he drew the picture of anative, aboriginal society, possessingits own unique cultural ways, that wastouched by technologically more-sophisticated civilization and who, inless than 100years, found that their own- .. _. -

discover what the Pequot culture anddaily life was like before md afterEuropean contact and to assess theeffects thereof. Dr. Juli posed anrelated question on this topic and thenattempted to answer himself: "Can weI~.arn something from the extinction ofthe Pequot? Can we really learn fromthis? ... (It should bel trying to let peoplebe masters of their own destiny insteadof helpless victims in the rush ofcultures to develop and expand."

THE COLLEGE VOICE, OCTOBER 10, 1978

Ifeel more than a bit uneasy about starting to writeabout Seabrook. Not beca ... I have nothing to sayabout my experiences in New Hampshire - certainlynot that - but because wbat I do bave to say mayhave very little meaning for others.My thoughts and feelinga about the occupation do

not take the form of a polemic on nuclear power, proor con - and if comeone is reading this with the hopesof gathering information to build such an argument, Isuggest they hail out now.What I bope to accurately present is my own ac-

count of what it felt and meant to be one of the 10,000people who travelled to New Hampshire on June 24 tomake a statement, namely, "I protest the develop-ment of a nuclear power." A simple statement?Certainly. Stemming from simple, clear-cut feelings?Not quite.I arrived in the small town of Seabrook, New

Hampshire, that Saturday with anything but simplefeelings. 'Ibis was not due to any wavering of positionconcerning the issue itself. Ihad read, listened, andwatched a great deal. Consequently, I felt verysecure in my evaluation of the nuclear energyprogram in its present form: Iwas decidedly againstit.Ihad become involved with an organization known

as the Clamshell Alliance, whose expre .. purpoae itwas to put an end to further construction of anynuclear plants, or ''nukes.'' I had undergone non-violence trainir).g with &"R"P of J~ ClamshellIDembers, including Conn students, so that we coIi1d'acquaint ouraelves with the handling of specificsituations that mighl arise in the course of the oc-cupation. We were trained as a group so that wemight make decisions, by concensus, as a group.- My insecurities stemmed not from the statementitself, nor the channels that had been gone through sothat the statement could be made. It was rather theevents of the previous week that had my mindworried. In that lime, I felt the governmentalauthorities of New Hampshire had succeeded in ef-fectively kicking the teeth out of the Seabrookmovement; by this I mean a substantial blunting ofwhatever impact the occupation would bave on thosenot directly participating in it. This had been ac-complished by destroying the possibility of a large-scale civil disobedience, an act wbich would haveattracted much attention from the media andtherefore driven the ''no nuke" message home tomany who bad not yet thought seriously about the ••• we were approaehed fromdangers of nuclear power.Since late spring, the population of Seabrook bad behind by a ve.-v drunk

been under intense political pressure to withdraw - oJtheir support from the illegal occupation. On June 16,they succombed to the pressure, and suddenly there Id h Iwascba08.'lbeClamshellCoordinalionCommitteein 0 er man w 0 was runn ng,Portsmouth, N.H. decided that the occupation wasunjustified without grass-roots support from thecitizens of Seabrook. A deal was made with govern-mental authorities beaded by Gov. Meldrin 'lbomp-son, noted, as of late, primarily for his fanatic sup-port of nuclear development, and only slightly less sofor the enthusiasm and affection he has exhibited forthe regime in South Africa. 'lbe deal was this: therewas to be a legal rally on a designated area of theSeabrook grounds beginning on Saturday, June 24.Everyone participating in this rally was to vacate thepremises by 3 p.m. Monday, and within this timethere was to be no barrassment or physical attemptto halt construction of the plant. Clean and simple.Everybody bappy? Not quite.

Approaching

Woodstock

Alarge faction of the Clamshell membership (itselfbeing run by concensus) was outraged by th...proceedings. They had had no say in the decision andfelt abandoned by those to wbom they had piecigecimutual trust and support. 'lbe result was an in-credible amount of tension within the organization,many local groups tbrestening to commit civildisobedience anyway by occupying beyond Monday'sdeadline. What once was a unified movement nowseemed to be a splintered and impotent force done inby its own politics.

Others had picked up on this tension as weD. Thepapers, radio, and television all drooled over it in thedays just preceding the occupation. The protest waasensational.ized; it waa.rumo~ thai ''they'' wantedconfrontation,' "they'- wanted conflict, and as 1listened dumbfounded to the local newscasters whiledriving to Seabrook, I was convinced they wantedblood.My first experiences on arriving in the area

relieved my fears considerably, albeit in novel ways.A short hike into the adjacent town (occupationheadquarters) was called for in ordef for me to pickup an armband (signifying I was an occupier, not justa visitor) and to find the camping location of my localgroup.Once there, I met Jim,.a 28-year old native of New

Hampshire, who waa explaining to me how to make agood tea from an interesting plant I had found on myhike in, when we were approacbed from behind by avery drunk older man who was running, calling us"dirty V.C.! !" and sbooting at us with an imaginary

calling us ~~dlrtyV.(;.!" and

shooting at us with an

imaginary rifle.rifle. We both grabbed him, and as be calmed down,Jim asked him, quite typically I thought, if be wouldlike any fresh orange juice. Somehow I knew it wasgoing to be a weekend to remember.Mter fmally getting into the occupation aite itself, I

found myself submerged in a nurry of activity -people everywhere, holding meetings, constructingbooths, exchanging ideas, building exhibits,debating, laughing, all this couched in music whichseemed to come from every direction.The site itself was, quite literally, a dump, com-

plete with a sky fuJI of circling seaguUa. Everyonewas in the process of organizing their livingarrangements and projects for the next three days.'lbe feeling was exhilarating. No teoaioo. '!be focus ofthe rally had now been technically shifted to one ofself-educalion rather than active protest. Each loca1group had devised at least one project to emphasize

I )~nti-nDke~ar:Battles on the atomic front

By Ales.DCler Reid Bra.h

Every decade or so, lbe youlb, and lbereafter lbepublic, have a cause to which lbey dedicate lbem·selves. In the 60's and early '70's it was the 'war', anden lbe late '70's and lbe 1980's it is (and will be) lbehattie over nuclear power. Today Ibis hattie ilstarting, blood has already heeo drawn, and itlookato be a long fight.

Connecticut College stands in lbe middle of lbenuclear power iss... To lbe soulb and east standNorlbeast Utilities' awesome Millstone planll. To lbenorlb we are benefited by the presence of one of lbeU.S.Navy's main nuclear armament factories.Among our midst we have, and have had, such anti-nuclear advocates as Dr. Goodwin, and DanielEllsberg.

The 'anti-nuke' feeling reached a critical pointsometime in 1976when, finally, the undercurrenll ofdoubt and distrust resulted in active anti-nuclearcampaigns. The Clamshell Alliance was establiahedthat year, the Nuclear Power Evaluation Council ofConnecticut was formed, and also many olberorganizations dedicated to eilber objectively judgingnuclear power, or just plain stopping it.

Throughout 1976and 1977,aa organizations formed,grass roots were expanded, and demonstrationsbegan. By August '77 these were ready for the firstmajor offensive. August, traditionally the monlb offun in the sun, is also the anniveraary of the droppingof the first atomic bombs on Hiroahima andNagasaki. Thus, many events were arranged tocoincide with these dates in commemoration of the

In Oregon the Trojan Decommissioning Alliance(T.D.A.l set lbe closing of 1.130 megawatt Trojanreactor as their goal. On August 6 elghty..,nespecially trained demonstrators sat down on the mainroad into the plant in an attempt to block the sup-plies. Two days later they were arrested, but in thattime gave great impetus to lbeir local cause, T.D.A.intends to continue ill efforts until 811CcessfuJ.

On August 7, three men swam up to lbe DiabloCanyon Nuclear Plant, and were met by fifteendeputies as well as a helicopter. The deputies waitedwhile one protestor put on his captain Plutonium luit.Then, lbe protestors were taken away.

A review of lbe anti-nuke war shows lbat manyimportant battles have already taken place.

In 1966, lbe Pacific Gas and Electric Company(P.G.E.J, having heeo prohibited from building IIIpropspectlve plant on a beautiful beacb, wu con·fronted by the Sierra Club over ill next choice ofsites. The P.G.E. picked Diable Canyon, a Itrip ofproperty along lbe California coast, wilb ready ac.-to cold water (for cooling>. Operating wilb in-complete information, lbe Sierra Club gave ill ap-proval to the site. The predominant belief wu thatanything was better than losing valuable sand dlUles.Instead, California lost a grove of rare Coaltal LiveOak.

In 1968Shell Oil geologisll, probing the COIllinentalshelf of the Diablo Canyon, revealed a major ear·lbquake fault not more than two miles from lbenuclear plant. The information WU luboequentiallyburied for five years. Finally, a local physicistlearned of it through a student who bad heeo aboardlbe geologilt's ship, but by lben the plant was nearlycomplete.

P.G.E. maintained lbeirplant was Itrong enough towithstand up to .2 G'I (20 percent of gravity), andshut-<lown devices would last up to .4 G'I. Never·theless lbe opening of lbe plant, due in 1973, wupostponed. In late 1974 the Nuclear Regulatory

Commission received 8 report from theU.S.Geological Survey tJuota """b! aI~ the faullmight be as high U .7SG'I. The1acll were in, and lbecall began to play. In Felruary 11175lbe direclorof lbe project lilted, in a memorandum, ""IDepossible alternatives to help alleviate lbe boggeddown situation. Eilber P.G.E. could galber somegeologisll to refute lbe previous geological fmdings,change the Regulatory Commiaaion'l regulations soas to allow the plant to ODeD,or urge lbe Secretary ofthe Interior to "convince"lbe U.S.GeolOllical Surveyto "modify" ill findings. This memorandum for-tunately became public, and since ill disclosure theMothers of Peace have luccessfully blocked lbeopening of the plant.Later, in August 1977, an ocean away, 60,000

demonstrators launched a full scale attack againstthe Super Phenix plutonium breeder reactor inMalville, France. A general who had once corn-manded troops in Algeria was brought in to gear upthe police force to handle the protestors.

He was highly successful. The polIce used COD'cussion grenades and tear gu to comhat the en-vironmentalists. who never came closer than one anda half miles from lbe plant. In Ibis f1ghtlbe anti-nukecause suffered ill first mortality wben a yOlUlgchemistry teacher has his lungs ruptured as a result

of one of lbe grenades.Since 197. France bas engaged in an ambitious

a tomic-energy program which il deaigned to provide75. percent of the country's energy needs by 1985.President d'Eslaing, in defense of the pro-nucleardrive, stated that ''nuclear energy is at the Croll-roads of lbe two independences of France: lbe in-dependance of ber defense and the independence ofher energy supply."Anna Gyorgy. 8 writer for NaUoD, wrote of the

Malville demonstration; "The mailing of lbouaandsof demonstrators, probably more than 95 percent ofwhom were self-consciously non-violent; revealed thelbin skin of nuclear power. Benealb ill shining ultra-modern technological surface, lies lbe power of apolice state."

This past April over 6000 people joined lbe effort inDenver to try and close lbe Rocky Flall plutoniumfactory. The crowd wal twenty limes bigger than thatof the year before. .

Built in 1951, lbe Rocky Flall plant is lbe secondoldest in the U.S., but more importantly, it pUlltogether lbe plutonium triggers for all U.S. atomicweapons. Already radioactive waste from lbe plantbas destroyed 11,000 acres nearby, and at leut oneradioactive cloud from lbe plant bu deacended onDenver.

Stokely Carmichael came to the rally, lbe firstpolitical rally he bad been to aince his anti·war days.Daniel Elllberg also came, wearing a cowboy hat andcarrying a knapsack. Braving wind, rain and anow,Ellaberg stayed ten days and endured two arrests.Sixty-five olbers were also arrested.

At the same lime more than 2000 demonalratorsmarched againlt an atomic·wute plant in Barnwell,Soulb Carolina. Brett Bursey, leader of lbe PalmettoAlliance, I8YS that lbeir avowed goal is to prohibitBarnwell from becoming lbe nuclear wastedepoaitory of lbe U.S. So far, lbey bave heeo sue-cessfuJ. However, Governor Edwards is now beavilylobbying Congress for permisalon to open.

The movement has previously ltumbled over onelarge block of OppoaitiOD- labor. Many unIoaa favornuclear power for lbe job opportunities it offers,through actual construction and material needs. As oflate, thia block is being chipped away.

In Connecticut, lbe Clamshell Alliance chaptershave helped picket on behalf of labor, and included inlbeir protesll lbe provision that all workers innuclear planll be guaranteed jobo elsewbere. In NewYork, lbe welders atlbe Indian Point plant becamelbe first workers to quit lbe job due to radioactivedangers. In Rocky Flall lbe demonstratorsdemanded alternative jobs for employees, and alsoinvited a British air-epace industrial leader to explainbow, in England, ex-nuclear workers were quickly re-hired for their valuable skilla.

The anti-ouke movement is here. It is growing at anincredible rate as more and more people realize lbebazards inherent in having an atomic bomb in one'lbackyard. As separate organizations coalesce lbetempo begins to quicken. When labor and anti-nukeforces join, lbe real fight will begin. Now, lbemovement is feelinll ill first lD'OWinlt Dains, but itseems unlikely that the anti-Duke forces will bedallDted.

The radiation diseaseBy Peter Eagle

Since New London is actively involved in buildingnuclear submarines and producing nuclear-poweredelectricity, lbe iaaue of public radiation expollurefrom lbe Millstone Point complex and its poaalbleside-effects will become lbe stage for an importantdebate this coming year.

00 September 18, lbe city council of New Londonapproved Stephen L Maasad's propooed Ad Hoccommittee that will analyze numerous reports on lbeamounts of radiation we receive and lbeir impact onthe rate of cancer deatba in the Waterford and NewLondon areas. The Committee will be divided into two

councils that will publiclY present the pro (yes, weare being adversely affected) and the con (no levelsare safe) viewpoints. A third, unbiased council willweigh the validity of lbe evidence and public opinion.

Evidence will be presented through a series ofpublic hearings in an attempt to inform the generalpublic. This ·process will give the community somepower in the decision-making proc .... Mr. Maasademphasizes that the iaaue is "not a scientific

..'question ... " but more of a question of public iaaue.

The scientists' only role will be to pnitent the in-formation. The need for public participation istherefore stressed.

The decision-making council will consist of in-formed scientists, doctors, and profeBlOrs fromaround the country. There probably will berepresentatives from the A.M.A. and the AmericanCancer Society as wen. Contrary to a recent NewLondon Day article, Mr. Maasad believes that lbecommittee will have sufficient expertise to avoidconfusion and to formulate a local policy.

Thecommittee will most likely have adequate fundsto finance bringing the experts here to speat. Mr.Massad has requested ten thousand doUars from lbestate which he will probably receive becaU8e of EnaGrasso's nomination victory.

The New London Clamshell Alliance has offeredtheir services and knowledge to help in all aspects ofthe projects. In the words of their organizer, DonaldMurphy, "we urge ... support of an unbiaaed study ofthe possibility of .an increase in the morta1lty rate

the Issue Is ~nota selentillequestion •.•' but more of aquestion of pub lie Issue.The selentlsts' onlyrole will be to presentthe Information. The needfor pub lie partlelpatl .. ,Is therefore stressed.

because of Millstone point power plants. It is ananswer that is necessary ..." Although Mr. Maasadacknowledges Clamshell support he prefers not towork with them because of their national radicalactivity.

Public concern about these iaaues was ftrstprompted by Dr. Ernst Sternglass, who studiedradiation and cancer rates in this area between If70and 1975. He concluded that cancer rates increased inWaterford by 58 percent and in New London by 44percent as a result of strontium-llO, a danlerouanuclear waste, contaminating local cow'smil.k. Numerous investigations have since refutedthis study. Yet reports from Lacrosse, Wilconlinemphasiud lbe dsngers of strontium-llO, which at-tacks the bones, and has been estimated to increaselbe rate of leukemi8 by 12 infant deatba per 100,000births for only one picocurle increase in radiation.

Also, carelessness in monitoring of Iodlne-131levels by Wisconsin Electric at Beach Point wassufficient to warrant furlber investigation.

Further, in a study of Thorium-230, a radioactivewaste from uranium mine stag piles, conaervativeconclU8ions estimate 394 deatba per KiI-watt per yearof electricity, assuming DO population growth. Inother words, it is figured that a 250 acre stag plIe willCDU8.200 lung cancers in its ftrst one hundred years Ifit insufficienUy protected. Allbough this baa DO directapplication to lbe Millstone power facility, it suuestalbe need for investigation of all conceivable side-effects of radioactive emiaaions, and !be need forserioU8 public debate.

As far as radiation levels are concerned, lbe En-vironmental Protection Agency sets a maxlmwnlimit of 70 milIirem per year in 1954. Altbough thislevel is subject to chanse, it has remained t>e same.Yet since 1975, lbe year of Sternglass's study, !beNuclear Regulatory Commission baa adopted apolicy of attempting to achieve "as low as practical"levels. The power plants are preaenUy coaforminl toa five milIirem per year standard that !be NRCestablished as practical.

Care baa been taIlen in investigating !be hazarda ofnuclear power, and accordincly conservativeradiation levels have been set for public espoeure.But the fact remaina that lbe studies of !be effects of

'" radiation are controverslal and therefore in-conclU8ive, or are treated as incooclU8lve. DeflnllioDof exact brea1ldowns of each eroisaion Ia lnhiIlIted bylbe Umited amount of -.:h that baa been done.

The Ad Hoc Committee of New London that willsponsor the public forum is in effect trylDa to pursuea detailed 1001<into this vaauely understood problem.

Theater without wordsBy JuU. Slablgr ••,.Th~ house lights went down, the

curtain went up, and thirteen vibrantand extremely talented actors andactresses grabbed the audience's at-tention. Two hours later when thecurtain fell the audience brought thecompany out for three bows with en-thusiastic applause and an"appreciativestanding ovation.On Thursday and Friday, September

28th and 29th, the National Theatre ofthe Deaf kicked off its twenty-eecond. nationwide tour with its presentation ofBen Johnson's "Vo)pone/' adapted byStephen Sweig, and "Quite Early OneMorning" and other works by DylanThomas, in Palmer Auditorium."Volpone," directed by the noted·

American dancer and choreographerDon Redlich, was witty, high spirited,and absolutely hilarious. "Quite EarlyOne Morning," directed by DennIsScott, a Jamaican poet and playwright,was touching, passionate and also quitefunny.The Theater of the Deaf is absolutely

unique, combining the graceful ex-pressiveness of sign language, with thestrength and excitement of mime,dance, and accompanying narration. Itwas really beautiful to watch and con-tained a great deal more expressionand energy than most theatricalproductions I've ever seen. Everysingle emotion and thought involved theentire body in expreSsion, somethingthat seemed to invite the audience toget more involved.The spoken words were provided by

three talented and quick, hearing ac-tors who not only delivered their ownlines but those of their deaf colleaguesalso. It was fascinating to watch thesethree as they changed voices and ac-cents to speak for different charactersthroughout the two hours. Their con-centration was unbroken, yet theyseemed completely relaxed. Thespoken words were magnificentlyembellished in the exaggerated handmotions of all the actors.The sets and costumes were fabulous.

Birdseye: New London's finest

By Au All...

'lbe Birdseye Cafe is a small butnonetheleaa notorious bar belaw BankStreet in New London. It's auperficialappeal to the Conn. studetJt may lie inthe fact that drafts are only 25 COlltsandthe bar cloaea at 2:00AM, which meansthat whOll you find younelf trudgingback from the Cro-bar at midnight,practically broke, you have an alter-native to staring at piles 01 unreadbooks. To put it more auecincUy, theBirdseye caters to the hard..,.,re, lale-night bum.But to patronize the Birdseye ollly for

convenience sake is to overlook its veryreal charm. The atmosphere is verydifferent from a typical Conn. socialgathering. The .. t-up isalmost Spartanin its simplicity -a long bar with a TV, afew small tables and vlrtually barewalla except for a large color picture ofa submarine (mosl of the reguJara workat EB). Whereas most bars have soft,not to say dim,lighting, the Birdseye isilluminated by harsh nourescent bulbsthat reflect off of the walla. In the hackis a pool table and a perpetual pokergame.
