Terrorists SeizeGeorge; Powers TakesOverBy Bill the CatAckkklc Pfttt!

JACKSON HALL (AP) Novem-ber 27 - Student government Pres-ident Kathyrn George waskidnapped late last night by a stu-dent terrorist organization thatidentified itself as the radical Stu-dent's Holy Revolutionary OpenOrientation Movement(SHROOM). In a phone call to theTripod, SHROOM detailed its de-mands.

"We are giving the college until5 p.m. Wednesday to meet our de-mands or we will burn all of thePresident's preppy clothes," thegarbled voice said.

"First, we demand that the OpenCurriculum be kept intact. The fa-cist oppression of the Orwellianfaculty must be overcome!'

"Second, we demand that thecollege divest in companies that dobusiness in New Jersey. We can nolonger be blind to the unfair plightof those who toil in the concretevoid that exists between the bigapple and the city of brotherlylove."

rd, we demand the collegemm task -to the cave on

Sunday nights. I'm mean what thehell?"

"Fourth, we demand the collegeestablish a Department of Morn-ing Television. Instructors wouldinclude: Assistant Professor WinkMartindale, Associate ProfessorPhil Donahue, Professor DickClark, and Chairman Bob Bar-ker."

"Finally, SHROOM demandsthat the college build a swimmingpool on the quad, a hockey rinkbehind Jesse Field, and install ca-ble TV in every room."

Meanwhile, Vice-President PaulPowers set up SGA headquarterstemporarily at Alpha Delpha Phion Vernon Street.

"We will not negotiate with ter-rorists. That has and will be ourpolicy. These barbarians will notget away with this! The SGA willfind them and bring them to jus-tice," he told reporters.

Powers, who will draw on hisECAC basketball championshipexperience during the crisis, hasnot ruled out a military rescue.

"Of course, not knowing wherethey're holding my darl, — Imean the President, makes it thatmuch more difficult, but hey, willgive it our best shot," he said.

One of the options at Powerscuntrolt is to deploy the lameu : ADTeam," the Vice-President's crackcommando squad.

Speaking for the SGA early thismorning, Press Secretary Ellen

Garrity refused to speculate onwhat kind action the Administra-tion might be taking.

"Kathy George was kidnapped.Yesterday. She was last seenwearing a white polo shirt and apink oxford sweater with a greenand pink checked skirt. So any-ways, I heard that Jerry Smith andLisa Connor were the ones outsideJones Hall, but you didn't hear thatfrom me," she told this reporter.

Mark Greenland BustedBy Ellen Garrity

We Missed Her

GENEVA (Reuters) November26 - Mark Greenland, the formerTCAC president accused of fiscalmismanagement last year, was ap-prehended by INTERPOL hereafter attempting to withdraw$1,000 from a secret numberedSwiss bank account today.

Greenland, who resigned asTCAC president last January and

Swiss police, acting in conjunc-tion with international police, ap-prehended Greenland today alongwith an unidentified female in herearly twenties, Greenland wentquietly with police and thus far hasrefused to speak to authorities un-til a representative of the Ameri-can embassy can be called in.

Garcia Graduation Speaker

Dr. JeromeGarcia, M.D , J.D., Ph. D,, L.S.D., M.D.M.A., will de-liver the commencement address at this year's graduation excericises.

By Christopher ChappelOn the Road and Feelin' Fine

Dr. Jerome Garcia, the criticallyacclaimed music revolutionaryfrom the Bay Area, will be thisyear's commencement speaker atgraduation ceremonies, the Trin-ity Trivod has learned.

Mr. Garcia was chosen from agroup of finalists that includedsuch possibilities as PrinceCharles, Bugwan Rhashnish, Ma-donna, and Gerald Ford. The invi-tation was originally given to theformer president, but he died dueto complications suffered aftersustaining a papercut upon open-ing the invitation.

Campus reaction was mixed yes-terday as word travelled that the

lead singer from the Grateful Deadwould be speaking in late May.

"It's about time," said one BellsPotter.

"Hey, that's great," commentedElizabeth Robinson.

"Who?," asked Vice-PresidentTom Smith.

"HEY NOW!" added LawrenceBou from Madrid in an exclusivetransatlantic telephone interview.

Dr. Jarcia will address "...all thatyou know, I'll show you, snow andrain." Garcia would not expand onthis topic. • ' i

The address is entitled "TheAiko Experience."

When reached for comment inhis San Francisco villa, Garcia said,"Don't you know that notion justcrossed my mind."

Although Garcia would not saywhether or not politics would en-ter into his address, he did makean allusion to the Geneva Summit"..so the kids they dance theyshake their bones while the politi-cians throwing stones, ashes ashesall fall down."

However, all is not well here in• Gotham City.

A subversive right-wing facistguerrilla faction with suspectedlinks to militant wings of a jointPike-Sigroa Nu anti-leftist organi-zation has announced its opposi-tion to the selected speaker.

A spokesman for the groupcalled the Tripod and issued anangry statement: "Hey man, I justwanna know just one thing: Wereyou Born in the U.S.A.?! '

Delegation Returns from SouthAfrican Fact-Finding Trip

by Barry A. FreedmanNews Editor

A 12-member delegation fromthe World Citizens program ofPlowshares Institute of Simsburyconducted a fact finding trip toKeyna and South Africa from No-vember 6 to 20. Speaking at a newsconference in the RittenbergLounge of Mather Campus Center,Friday, members of the group saidthat widespread violence, policebrutality, and economic exploita-tion of non-whites by the South Af-rican govenment were clearlyevident.

The World Citizens program isdesigned for better understandingof international issues of justice fordecision-makers in the business,academic, political and religouscommunities of Connecticut.

Oakes Ames, president of Con-necticut College in New London,said the tour cleared many of themisconceptions that he had. "The.blacks said that they.had nothingmore to lose and that'divestmentand withdrawl would hurt whitesthe most," Ames stated.• This delegation, one-third of alarger group of 33, met in eachcountry with government, opposi-tion party, business, academic andreligous leaders. In South Africa,

this involved conversations withsenior cabinet members of theSouth African government; oppo-sition leaders, including Allen Boe-sak of the United DemocraticFront recently released f2-om de-tention and charged with treason;executives of the Anglo-AmericanCorporation which.controls 54% ofSouth Africa's business income andmet with exiled members of thebanned African National Con-gress; with labor union leaders;university faculty members; andwith church leaders from the boththe Dutch Reformed and Anglicantraditions, including BeyersNaude, General Secretary of theSouth African Council of Churches.

As part of the immersion expe-rience, the delegation visited Bo-phuthatswana, a so-called"independant homeland," spent aweekend with families in Sowetoand Coronationville (black and col-ored townships), visited Cross-roads, Cape Town's squattervillage of 100,000 deperately poor"illegal" blacks, and spent twodays in conflict-ridden "colored"areas of Cape Town. In many ofthese areas they found- seriousmalnutrition and unemploymentexceeding 50%.

There were radically differentperceptions of reality concerningthe current crisis, they found.

Plowshares Institute Delegation answers questions during a news conference, Friday, in the RittenbergLounge on their completed fact-finding trip to Kenya and South Africa.White government officials pro-,pose minor gradual reforms. Blackopposition leaders seek prompttransformation. They found fewindications that the Nationalistgovernment was prepared to mod-ify its approach or to limit the use,of violence by the military and po-lice to suppress unrest in the town-ships and rural areas.

The most effective means ofmoving the government towardschanged, the group advocated, are:

a. Direct action by blacks in S.A.including strikes, boycotts of whitebusiness, and protests, (supportedby 66% of urban blacks in recentsurveys)

b. International pressure, espe-cially economic sanctions in theform conditional or total disinvest-ment as means of dismantlingapartheid (with support of 73% ofmany members of Congress whothe black urban population, ac-knowledging sacrifices and loss ofjobs) The refusal by AmericanBanks to renew their share of 24billion dollars in loans due Decem-ber 31, 1985 seems to offer thegreatest single potential forchange in the position of the SouthAfrica government or the forcingof an interim government morewilling to meet the stated condi-tions of recognized black leader-ship. "The United States is heavilyinvolved in South Africa now,"said Robert A. Evans, executivedirector of Plowshares and,tripleader. "We should use our eco-nomic power with moral integ-rity." The delegation concurs with

declare that the U.S. policy of"constructive engagement" is afailure. Congress' and PresidentReagan's sanctions are a step inthe right direction toward a newpolicy.

New initiatives by some Ameri-can companies seeking to influ-ence the South Africa governmentand the U.S. policy toward astronger anti-aparthied positionare to be commended.

"The U.S. citizens and govern-ment sjiould use its economic re-sources with morality; it'seconomic leverage that is a moralnecessity," said Maria Borrero, di-rector of the Hispanic HealthCouncil.

The delegation also confessedthat there were similar patterns ofeconomic exploitation and racialdiscrimination exisitng in theUnited States and Connecticut.However in the United States, in-justice is not enshrined in law. Wemust be equally committed to re-moving barriers to justice for allpeople both in the South Africa andthis country.

Wendell Berry Addresses Studentsby Jennifer Edmondson

Ass't Editor

"All goes back to the earth, andso I do not desire pride of excessor power, but the contentmentsmade by men who have had lit-tle..." This line, taken from a Wen-dell Berry poem, seems toexemplify the poet's life and be-liefs. Berry shared such beliefs, aswell as a great deal__of his work,with members of Trinity and theHartford community as Trinity'sPoet-in-Residence from November10-20. Wendell Berry began hisstay at Trinity with an Open Houseat President James English's homeon Monday evening. Throughoutthe week, Berry spoke to Englishclasses, gave a poetry reading,conducted workshops with, highschool students, and talked to thepublic on agriculture and "TheGood Land".

Berry is a quiet, personal man,with strong roots, tied to his home-land. Berry resides in Port Royal,Kentucky, where he was originallyraised. After teaching at George-town, Stamford, and New YorkUniversities, and various othercolleges and universities across theUnited States, Mr. Berry returnedto Port Royal, where he works afarm as his forefathers of five gen-erations did. His literary work dis-plays this home tie. Berry's poems,books, and essays are based on thepeople and land that surround him.in another poem, Berry declares"I am at home. Don't come withme./You stay at home too." Berrycalls himself a "homebody" andchuckles.

An integral part of Wendell Ber-ry's stay at Trinity was the seriesof workshops held for area highschool students. The workshops,organized by Millie Silvestrithrough the Poetry Center, were

open to students from South Cath-olic, Weaver, Buckley, and Hart-ford High Schools. Ms. Silvestricommented that the program givesstudents the chance each year to"rub elbows with a major poet."Students with an interest in writ-ing were invited to attend theworkshops, of which there werefour, and wrote poetry with hopesthat it would be "criticized" by Mr.B.erry. The students were excitedto meet Berry, and instantly tooka liking to the easygoing poet. Thewbrkshops consisted of 13-20 stu-dents who, while reading their po-etry, also had the chance to talkabout themselves to "Wendell", asthey referred to him. The atmos-phere of the workshops was an in-formal one. The informalityseemed to be the key to the expe-

EditorialTRINITY TRIPOD

Getting to the Bottom of it

Let's get serious here for a moment. This topic willconcern any student at Trinity College: be you white,black, Hispanic, Oriental, Catholic, Jewish, intelligent,jockish, studious, boring, obnoxious, exciting, sexy, ugly,male, female, fraternal, independent, a Redskins fan, orwhatever. The only qualification one must possess (be-sides being human) is having taken at least one defi-cation in a Trinity College stall. (Oh great, here comes

t some bathroom humor, you say.)Come back from a Saga dinner and the first place

you head is the bathroom. Now you have a long nightof studying or partying ahead of you and you really needthis private time in the stall. After relieving yourself ofthe daily discourse you reach up to your right and reachfor the one piece of higene that exists in an otherwiseputrid communal crapatorium.

"Wait," you say to yourself, "B & G must have deliveredthe toilet paper to Professor Battis' office, they put hisadding machine paper in the tin rolls by accident." Idon't know, must be some kind of commie pinko liberalconspiracy.

Goal-Post Report MisguidedTo the Editor,

I am writing the Tripod demand-ing and immediate retraction ofquotes in the article captioned"Goal-Post Rush Results In Ar-rest" printed in your November 12issue and that the retraction beplaced on the front page as theeroneous report was placed. Thequoted statements were not madeby me but were the opinions, con-firmations and statements made bythe staff writer of the Tripod.

Besides the fact that the re-porter walked into my office, un-announced, at 3 p.m. on November11, "minutes before .the pressdeadline," he did so rudely and"without regard to the student whowas in my office with a scheduledappointment. This student also de-serves ah apology from the re-porter. The reporter's abruptapproach to me under the pretense

. "to get the facts" was an inter-view of questions with predeter-mined answers asked andanswered by him all in the same

breath: What further amazes meabout the article, is how the re-porter could quote me so accu-rately as he had neither paper orpen/pencil, which I thought wasbasic equipment for a staff writerof any newspaper. I feel that thefacts of any major Trinity eventshould be reported to the commu-nity. However, since the Tripodhas assumed the responsibility ofreporting the facts, the Tripodshould also sek the facts abjec-tively. Then the facts should be re-ported honestly or as the factsactually are and not for sensation-

alism. I, for one,,would continueto read the Tripod. •

• Sincerely, Janiece Stewart,Director of Security

The Tripod Editorial Board hasmade repeated yet futile attemptsthroughout the year to communi-cate on the most basic levels withthe Director of Security. The toneof this preceeding letter is thereforenot surprising in the least. TheTripod stands by its storty. -Ed,

ETTERSWilliams Defends Jenkins

To the Editor,In reply to the letter by Cather-

ine Nemser in the November 19thissue of The Trinity Tripod, Iwould like to say that I found Mr.Jenkins' attitude neither "self-cen-tered" nor "supercilious".Granted, I too a male and, accord-ing to Ms. Nemser, am probablynarrow-minded, insensitive, and,on the basis of my gender, unableto have a valid or sensitive opinionon the subject of rape. As I see it,however, Mr Jenkins simply statedthat he feels rape is a very seriousissue and, therefore, he resentsbeing accused of it. I do not howthat is narrow-minded or insensi-tive . According to The AmericanHeritage Dictionary, rape is de-fined as "the crime of forcing onthe person to submit to sexual in-tercourse." While I believe thatthere are incidents of rape whichfall outside this definition, I do notfeel that this gives a woman carteblanche to call anything rape andstill be justified. I think Mr Jenkinshas every right to feel victimized.I am beginning to feel that, in theeyes of the Trinity Women's Or-ganization, (or at least in the eyesof the members to whom I havespoken), when the charge of rapeis made could not possibly be un-justified in her accusations, I thinka stronger definition of rape needsto be developed because to leave itas a completely subjectively issuedetermined by the woman can leadto unjust accusations — and rapeis a very serious crime to be ac-cused of.

I agree with Ms. Nemser thatperhaps many of the men here atTrinity are insensitive to how the"other half" feels. At the sametime, I did not notice that Ms.Nemser had any sparkling and rel-evant insights; iiito ho.w: Trinity 1::

Nyklick In ErrorTo the Editor,Evidently, Mr. Nyklick failed to

comprehend our letter. We rec-ommend that he either read theletter again slowly, or enroll inEnglish 260: Critical Reading. Wedo not feel the need to reiterateour position.

However, we would like to thankMr. Nyklick for pointing out thatthe "student organizations here atTrinity College needed the ap-proval of the Trinity RepublicanClub." We shall try to use thispower responsibly.

Thank you,The Trinity Republican Club

St. Anthony'sCorrects TripodTo the Editor, •

Just a few corrections on the St.Anthony Hall article last week(Nov. 19th issue) in the Tripod.

First, the Epsilon chapter ofDelta Psi chapter house is the old-est building to still be in use as afraternity in the country, not inthe state. This was a main reasonto make it a national landmark, nota state one.

Secondly, it is true that the houserests on of the highest natural el-evations points in Hartford, andthat the land was used for execu-tions, but where did you ever getthe notion that witches wereburned on the property AFTERthe construction of the building?

People were rather differentback in 1880, but I think (correctme if I'm wrong) that witch burn-ings occurred a ltttle before 1880.People may have seen us burn onoccasion effigiess of professors orconic sections textbooks, butplease relieve yourself of the no-tion that Hall brothers regularlyburn witches of the occult type.

Sincerely,Matrio A. Aguew '86Delta Psi Brother

men feel either. Perhaps what weneed is a organization where bothmen and women meet on an equaland comfortable footing to discussboth sides of important issuesrather than meeting to confirm allthe opinions on one side of the coin.

Finally, I resent Ms. Nemser'suse of personal attacks and abu-

sive language in her references toMr. Jenkins. In my opinion, if youwish to be listened to and to betreated with respect you have tolearn to listen to and too respectother individuals, as well.

Sincerely,Gregory H. WilliamsClass of 1987

Oxfam Defended By PaulTo the Editor,

I would like to thank everyonewho fasted or gave money to ben-efit Oxfam America on November21st. There was tremendous supp-port for the fast, and altogether alittle more than $1,400 was raised.It is great that Trinity studentscam express a commitment to thehungry people of the world in suchmagnitude. I woiuld also like toassure everyone that their moneywill be spent wisely and effec-tively. The editorial in last week'sTripod portrayed the way OKxfamspends its monmey totally inaccur-ately. $25 million did not go to theNicaraguan government. For1985, Oxfanm's budget, its largestever, was $15 million to aid over30 different countries. It isn't evenfeasable that Oxfam could've sent$25 million to Nicaragua cummu-latively, because Oxfam has onlybeen aiding the rural poor in Nic-aragua since 1981. In 1985 Oxfamsent a total of $461,517 to help thepoor in Nicaragua. The money wasdistributed amongst several NonGovernmental Organizations(NGO). OKxfam is not a politi-cally biased organization, as wasimplied in last week's Tripod. Ox-fam is a nonprofit organization,therefore by definition, it can not] | d i]?e a|Uia^Bd^^ia%::|j)oii$ical party

'o r government. Oxfam'si first 66m-mitment is to the rural poor over-seas, and occasionally thiscommitment places them in a polit-ical situation but any political sit-uation stems out of thier primarycommitment to allevate world hun-ger.

Out of Oxfams total budget,7.0% was spent on general admin-stration^and 17.1% was spent onfundraising. Oxfam considersthese to be its only overhead costs.

The 10% of their budget that wasspent on educational developmentis a necessary part of their pro-gram. Oxfam is an organizationthat concentrates more on longterm solutions, rather than disas-ter relief. Therefore, much of thesuccess of Oxfam's programs de-pends on education the world abouthunger problems, and teaching thehungry to feed themselves. It istrue that most of Oxfam's moneydoes not go directly to food.Rather, Oxfam spends moneyteaching people Tiow to grow theirown food. Direct (food) relief isnecessary in many instances, butit is going to take long term solu-tions to rid the world of hungerforever.

Once again, I thank the Trinitycommunity for their support.

ParkingIs Frustrating

To the Editor,The parking problem on Summit

Street has gotten out of hand.Those who are able to find a spaceare indeed blessed. Increasingly,;rflaiiy people who are nokt so hicklytake it upon themselves to inventspaces by parking horizontally, in-variably blocking others. Althoughmany attempt to "hide" their au-tomobiles behind telephone poles,this is not often effective. Thereare other lots on campus. True,they're less convenient, but theydo not inconvenience others.

Defending Virginia's SanityTo the Editor,

" In Hutch Robbins' article in theNovember 19th issue of the Tri-pod, "America: Obsessed with theMonarchy," Mr. Robbins wroteabout the hysteria over the RoyalCouple. I agreed with the articleuntil the last paragraph. In the lastparagraph, Mr. Robbins wroteabout the Couple visiting a subur-ban Virginia shopping mall, andsaid that the "local Virginians(never noted for their sanity),"woke up very early to see the RoyalCouple. Being from suburban Vir-

ginia, I never knew that I wasnoted for being insane.

Mr. Robbins' parents were theones that woke him up at the weehours of the morning on his veryown birthday to see the Royal Cou-ple's wedding, I am assuming thatMr. Robbins is not from suburbanVirginia. My family and I, beingfrom suburban Virginia, slept inon the day of the Royal Couple'swedding, and supposedly we arenot noted for our sanity.

KATHRYN GALLANT

As I head toward the end of mystay at Trinity, I have begun toworry that as soon as I leave thehallowed academic presence of thisplace, my brain will suddenly beginto atrophy, and I will sooner orlater become one of -those peoplewho think that Sidney Sheldon'slatest book, or this week's Made-for-TV movie selection are thehighest literary and culturalachievements to which our societycan aspire. This anxiety hascaused me to formulate a list, asort of syllabus for life, of all thethings that I've never read, or havejust glanced quickly over, but areconstantly, casually, referred to as"classics." Included in this listwould be Hegel, Joyce, Shaw, allthe Greek myths, and the list goeson and on. If everything goes as

planned, by the time I am fifty orsixty I will hopefully be able tothink of one or two originalthoughts and argue them intelli-gently, using a lot of big words andmaking Eliot-like references tothings which probably no one elsehas read. Someday, someone willrefer to my obscure thoughts andthe circle will go on. The out-come of all this rumination is therealization that college has taughtme primarily one thing: exactlyhow much I don't know. It's likeentering a tunnel that never endsand instead becomes a labyrinth,each turn revealing a thousandmore turns to make before you getout. Anyone who accepts their di-ploma from President English,thinking to themselves: "Ah, now

I am educated," is nothing lessthan a fool; it never ends. Thereis hope for those people, however.It's called the "Buzzword Genera-tor," and it should prove im-mensely helpful. Below are threecolumns of buzzwords, numberedzero to nine. The procedure is sim-ple. Think of any 3 digit number,then select the correspondingbuzzword from each column. Putthem together and presto, magic,you sound like you know whatyou're talking about. For example,take the number 257. From the listbelow select word 2 from column1, word 5 from column 2, and word7 from column 3: "systematized lo-gistical projection." Who cares ifyou don't know what it means, itsounds impressive.

Column 10. integrated1. total2. systematized3. parallel4. functional5. responsive6. optimal7. syncronized8. compatible9. balanced

Addendum1. hierarchial2. dynamic3. man-machine4. complete5. anachronistic

Column 20. management1. organizational2. monitored3. reciprocal4. digital5. logistical6. transitional7. incremental8. third-generation9. policy

There you have it, insta-intellec-tualism, Mc-interesting, "SnappyConversations 'R Us." Use thishandy guide at parties, on job in-terviews, or to impress your in-

laws. You can add or subtractwords as trend dictates, and thislist can be adapted for feminists,revolutionaries, neo-Nazis, sensi-

tive/quiche-eater types (anotherbuzzword past its prime), or peoplewho just want to augment theirlifestyle.

We Have Waited Long EnoughGates Garrity

The trustees mustdecide to decide on divestment.Southerners would say they should'fish or cut bait'. Both sides of thedivestment debate would agreethat by delaying any decision onthe issue the Trustees can be ac-cused of moral timidity and of afailure to confront the issue of rac-ism here at Trinity, as well as inSouth Africa. The Trustees'statement on divestment aftertheir October meeting was not adecision on divestment. No votewas ever taken; thea statementwas accepted by the Trustees byacclaimation, with minor changes.

The statement did suggeststands in some nominally positivedirections. The college will divestfrom those companies that are notsignatories of the Sullivan Princi-ples, and from those componan-iews that supply militaryequipment to the army and policeof South Africa. The college willalso provide scholarships to twoblack South African students everyyear, and individual trustees con-tributed the Bishop Tutu refugeefund. However, these suggestionsavoid the point of the wholekdebateNo decision was made onthe general standing of Trinity'sinvestment in companies that dobusiness in South Africa. NoTrustee would argue that aparth-eid is a policy of racism and there-fore is morallu repugnant. But the

Trustees have not decided wheth-erl the best way to positively con-front such a moral issue is throughdivestment, or through continuedshareholder action through busi-ness that do business in South Af-rica.

The Trustees did nkot make sucha decision because they felt thatthey themselves and the entireTrinity community were not edu-cated enough on the situation inSouth Africa. Such a sentimentdoes not seem out of place at aninstitution of higher education.However, education is not an ex-cuse to delay decisions on moralissues. The goal of 'education' inthis case can be extended indefi-nitely, allowing the community toavoid confronting a difficult moralchoice. This should not continue:the Trustees should decide to de-cide on the question of investmentin South Africa by a specific date.

Only then will the education proc-ess abd the debate have real mean-ing.

Any violent change would createa situation unfavorable to invest-ment; investment would lose itsmoral concern and divestmentwould then be a practical decision.But South Africa is not changingquickly. We do not need an unlim-ited amount of time to learn thebasics necessary, pai-fcicularly of asituation in which ivolvement is sorelatively insignificant (to SouthAfrica) and so important to ourown community. By delaying sucha decision indefinitely, a wholeslate of moral issues can also bepostponed (including decisions onhow to fight racism here at Trin-ity), in the name of needing more'education'. The Trustees shouldindeed decide to 'fish or cut bait',and they should do so now.

RTS 8c ENTERTAINMENTWendell Berry Is Trinity's Poetcontinued from page 3rience, as the students felt secureenough with Berry to confide in,laugh with, and open themselvesto him. Emphasis was put on tech-nique and form as Berry gave thestudents a chance to criticize eachother. The Workshop Program isin its eighth year at Trinity.

Wendell Berry also spoke to var-ious English classes on campus.Among these were Fred Pfeil'sAdvanced Fiction Workshop andHugh Ogden's Critical Readingclass. In the classrooms, Mr. Berryspoke of his lifestyle as well as hiswriting. The poet/farmer relatedexperiences in his writing to thestudents and opened the floor toquestions from the class. Even inhis answers, his private nature wasevident, although Berry was not,by any means, unwilling to givefully of himself in his answers.

The poet's ten day residency atTrinity was highlighted by a read-ing of his poetry in the Goodwin

Theatre, Austin Arts Center, onThursday evening, November 14.The reading was fairly well at-tended, and all who were thereseemed enthusiastic to learn aboutBerry through his vivid literarystyle. wAustin Arts Center pre-sented Mr. Berry again on Tues-day evening, November 19. Berry,an environmentalist as well as apoet, spoke this time, however, noton writing but on farming and landcare in a talk entitled "The GoodLand". During the talk, Berry readtwo essays on the farming tradi-tion in America, emphasizing theimportance of attention and careof a farm. The Kentucky farmermade known his affinity with na-ture and his tendency toward the"old school" techniques in farm-ing. However, Berry also pointedout that farming is a science, morethan a job. This belief is all part ofBerry's examination of "agricul-ture as culture"; farming as life,

left the Trinity campus, he hadgiven quite a bit to the studentsand faculty here. One facultymember had commented duringthe week, "Wendell Berry is dif-ferent from other poets we've hadhere. He's mild-mannered, subtle,quieter than most." This poet isdifferent. Wendell Berry does notconsider himself soully as a poet.He is a farmer and family man whocares about the land on which helives. Berry is the sort of man whoyou meet in church on Sunday, orsee at the corner store, or share ameal with. Wendell Berry is real.His poetry reflects this, in all itssimple descriptive beauty, as doesthis man's personality. A samplingof all of this Wendell Berry gaveto Trinity as Poet-in-Residence."All goes back to the earth...", asdid Berry, to get on with his life aspoet, farmer, and family man.

June Brindel * Novelistby Michelle Monti

Author June Brindel gave a talkon November 21 at 4:30 p.m. whichwas about her writings and the cul-ture of ancient Crete.

June Brindel describes her worksas "revisions of myths." Her nov-els, Ariadne and Phaedra, depictauthentic Cretan gods and god-desses, but Brindel treats them ashuman beings with very real emo-tions, values, and goals. After giv-ing" some background w Greekmythology, the author read an ex-cerpt from Phaedra. The piece wasa little girl's eyewitness account ofa cow giving birth. It was vividlydescriptive and innocently beauti-ful. The power of motherhoodseems highly respected in Brin-del's works.

Brindel admitted that she hadn'toriginally planned on writing thistype of novel. Her first intentionhad been to write a contemporarynovel about a woman searching for

her identity. While looking for amyth to use as a parallel in hernovel, however, her interest hadbeen sparked. She put aside_ herinitial purpose for awhile and en-tered into the revisionist business.She enforced that she tries to makeher fiction as accurate as possible.Brindel does not want people tothink of her works as pieces of sci-ence fiction. She continues to doresearch about Crete and wouldlike to influence others to look intoit for themselves. She believesthat, second to making a moivie,her novels are the best way toteach people about the myths.

June Brindel is an intelligent,down-to-earth woman. She is apersonable speaker, willing topresent her broad spectrum ofknowledge in hopes that others willshare her interest. Because of thisauthor's lecture, my own curious-ity has been sparked. Although Ionly heard a short excerpt fromone of her novels, I have beentouched way by the work of JuneBrindel.

RTS& ENTERTAINMENTKei Takei's Moving Earth

by Jennifer EdmondsonAss't Editor

Kei Takei's dance company,Moving Earth, appeared at theJ.L. Goodwin Theatre, Austin ArtsCenter, on Saturday evening, No-vember 22. The eighteen membergroup, formed in 1969, was orga-nized for the purpose of perform-ing the choreography of Kei Takei.The company is under the artisticdirection of Kei Takei, herself,with the assistance of Elsi Mi-randa. Both Takei and Miranda areactive in the actual dancing, as wellas in direction of Moving Earth.

The evening began with a per-formance of "Light, Part 3", de-veloped by Ms. Takei in 1970.Three other members of the group:Lazuro Brezer, Marisa Madrona,and Rosa Rodriguez, as well as Mi-randa and Takei, participated inthe production, which consisted ofa series of movement exercises,several of which were repeatedthroughout the piece. The dancersused wooden ladders as their soul

props and the sound of runningwater as the audio backdrop for"Light, Part 3". Lighting, de-signed by Richard Coumbs, was animportant aspect of the perform-ance, adding an atmosphere of se-renity and a bit of eerieness to thestage and to the look of the dan-cers. The movement at the begin-ning of this first piece was subtle,with usually no more than one per-former moving at a time. As thepiece progressed, however, moreemphasis was put on double move-ment, two dancers moving to-gether.

"Light, Part 12", conceived in1976, followed, with dancers MorEden, Richard Epstein, Mary Fitz-gerald, Nimrod Fried, Greg Mc-Mullen, and Yvonne Olivier joiningthe original five. In "Light Part12", a small ring of rocks wasmade, center stage, surrounded byseveral piles of rocks, dumpedfrom cloth bags by the dancers.What made the set-up process in-teresting was that the set up wasmade part of the actual dance. Asthe audience watched, Takei andmembers made the ring of stones.This seemed to be characteristic ofthe evening, and perhaps even ofMs. Takei's choreographic style. In

this way, Ms. Takei seems to makethe audience appreciate the few in-cluded props much more than theywould without the on-stage set-up.More movement characterized thesecond piece, as the dancersclapped rocks together andchanted, led in a tribalsoundingsong sung by Kei Takei. Precisionis probably the best word to use todescribe "Light, Part 12". The tal-ent and synchronicity of MovingEarth was evident in the secondpiece.

Following intermission, John deMarco, along with Madrona, Mi-randa, Takei, and other groupmembers, presented "Light, Part18 (Wheat Fields)". The third andfinal piece was unlike the preceed-ing two in that backdrop decora-tion, props, and music were usedto a greater extent. Two long ta-pestries were hung, stage left, andsticks and woven rugs were used,the sticks as fence pieces and therugs tied as rolled bundles to beworn carried, and tossed by thedancers. Music for "Light, Part18" was supplies by David Moss,with set design by Bruce Edelsteinand stick carving by Bruce El-ledge. The music, like the sound inall of the evenings pieces, played a

Kei Takei performing from LIGHT

significant role in the tone of theperformance. The music in "Light,Part 18" was emotion-filled and,at times, even chilling. Costumes,where before plain and scant, wereless revealing and more colorful,as if Ms. Takei's style was showingprogression to the modern fromher earlier, more primal, pieces.

In general, it is evident thatMoving Earth possesses talentand precision. Kei Takei has.nodoubt, been influenced by her Jap-anese culture, as is evident in thekarate/martial arts movements so

prevalent in all three parts of"Light". In addition, the dancesMoving Earth presented seem ob-viously full of symbolism. How-ever, the audience was leftunaware of the origins or feelingsbehind Ms. Takei's creations to tryand make sense of the seemingly"bizarre" movements on stage.Although Ms. Takei and companyshowed their expertise on stage,the audience was left knowingwhat to make of the"expertise"they witnessed.

ORE SPORTSColby Defeats Hockey, 6-3, But Stetson Stars

by Marc EstermanSports Editor

John Dunham, head coach of theBantams varsity hockey team,can't remember the last time hisclub produced over 40 shots on goalin a game and so the 41-28 shotadvantage the Bants registeredover Colby on Sunday had to pleasehim. What didn't please him wasthe final score: Colby-6, Trinity-3.Despite the impressive shot total,the Bants didn't capitalize on theirmany scoring opportunities andlost the opening game of the sea-son to homestanding Colby, whichbeat Trinity 2-1 last year. TheBantams outshot Colby 18-4 in thefirst period but came away withonly a 1-0 lead. Trin extended thelead to 24 before surrenderingthree unanswered goals over the

second and third periods en routeto the 6-3 loss. "We made somefirst game mistakes," noted Dun-ham after the game, "but we didn'trun around in our own zone andget shredded like the score mightindicate. They just had sojne good,strong forwards and physically,they were able to muscle in goalsfrom within ten feet of the net. Weweren't as strong on our sticks asthey were or we would've scored afew more ourselves." AlthoughTrinity lost the game, there weresome hopeful signs. Senior RichStetson played well as the left wingon the first line with Reed Whit-more and Verb Meyer. Stetsonscored two powerplay goals. Soph-omore Rob Loeber saw action asthe left wing on the fourth line withfreshmen Henry Manley and Ste-ven Palmer and earned praise from

Dunham for his effective work onthe power play. Defensemen MikeDoyle, Mike Solomita, Rob McCooland Bill Kenney had sound defen-sive games as well. Whitmorescored at 3:41 of the first periodoff a feed from captain Meyer togive Trinity a 1-0 lead, which stoodup going into the lockerroom.Colby started the second period byscoring a quick goal at the :48 markpast Art Fitzgerald to tie it at 1-1..Stetson answered back for Trinitywith the first of his two powerplaytallies off passes from Solomitaand Meyer at 2:16 to make it 2-1.It was the last time that Trinitywould lead in the game. Colbyscored two more times before themiddle stanza was completed andtook a 3-2 lead into the third. Thehome team popped in another

quickie at :32 to extend to 4-2 be-fore Stetson scored for Trin on theman-up off an assist from Loeberat 8:43. Colby put the game awaywith a goal at 14:07 on the power-play and then added an empty netgoal to make it 6-3. In fairnessto Fitzgerald, making his first reg-ular season start since his summerleg injury, all of Colby's goals camefrom in close. "Overall, it's noth-ing to get down about," said Dun-ham. "We have to work onmeshing kids together on the rightlines and get them to create moreoffensively. We need to have otherplayers aside from the centermendig it out in the corners too." Inorder to facilitate that process,Dunham plans to make some sub-tle line changes. Bill Slaney will be

reunited with Frank Newark andTom Sheehy, a hard-working linethat worked well together lastyear. Slaney's spot on the line withJay Williamson and Matt Keaforwill be filled by Peter Worthing.And Kevin Robinson, a speed-de-mon, will be inserted into the line-up at left wing on the line withManley and Loeber. The Stetson-Whitmore-Meyer line will remainintact. The Bants put those linesto use against Nichols last nightbut publishing deadlines preventedcoverage. Trin's next contest isanother road game against St. Mi-chael's on December 1st. The homeopener is slated for December 3rdat 7:35pm against Westfield State.

Basketball, Led By Abere, Seeks 3rd N.E. Titleby Gabe Harris

Senior Staff Writer

The 1984-85 basketball seasonwas supposed to be a rebuildingyear for the Trinity basketballteam. It's almost scary thinkingwhat's in store for opposing teamsnow that they're built, because last.year's squad rolled up a 19-6 re-cord and a second consecutiveEC AC Division III New Englandtitle, and that was without a singlesenior on the team. The Bantamsare ranked second in the pre-sea-son New England poll, behind onlyperennial powerhouse Clark.

"That (the ranking) is fine," saidfifth year coach Stan Ogrodnik,"but it hasn't won any games forus. If we're there at the end of theyear, then that's really some-thing.'1 For Ogrodnik, who haswon 79 of the 100 games he hascoached at Trinity, a third straighttitle and his 100th win is within hisgrasp, but teams will be gunningfor the Bantams all year long.

"We're not talking about a dy-nasty," said Ogrodnick. "The onlypressure, really, is what you puton yourself. We haven't talkedabout the two championships, thisis a totally different season. Younever come back the same. Youcould have all the same people back(and the Bantams almost do), butyou have different personalities,more maturity. There's alwayschange, and hopefully it's for thebetter."

The biggest change going intothe season will be the absence ofguard Mark Langmead, who aver-aged 7.8 points and 2.4 reboundsper game last year, when hestarted all 25 games as a fresh-man.

He's got a lot of things on hismind, a lot to take care of," saidOgrodnik. "At this point, it's forthe best that he put basketballaside for a while." Though the ex-act reasons for Langmead's hiatusfrom hoops is unclear, it is clearthat he was playing great basket-ball, and his talents will be missed.

Leading the way for the Ban-tams this year will be the return-ing Tri-captains: Senior forwardsKen Abere and Bill Pfohl, along

with junior lead guard Mike Don-ovan.

Abere (20.6 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 2.6 apglast year) was voted to the thirdteam Division III All-Americasquad a year ago, is on "track tobreak Jim Bates' all-time Trinityscoring record in either the 4th orthe 5th game, both at home. The6'5" Abere is agile enough to passand dribble like a guard, yet strongenough to rebound inside againsttaller players. But Abere's strong-est asset is his ability to put pointson the board, either within theteam concept or on his own. Allthis said, one would think the of-fense would revolve around Abere,but Ogrodnik says not so.

"Our offense is designed so thateverybody touches the ball. We'rereally not gearing our offense to-wards him (Abere). You hope thata player, of his caliber will get theball a lot, but we're looking for ibig ,contributions from other players aswell."

One of those players will be the6'6" Pfohl (10.5 ppg, 6.4 rpg), wholed the starters last year in bothfield goal (63%) and free-throw(80%) percentage. Says Ogrod-nick, "Bill has great leadershipqualities, he's a great guy off thecourt, and he plays the same everyday. If you ask Bill to box his manout, he'll box him out every time."

But that workmanlike consist-ency has led to anonymity forPfohl. "It's easy to gloss over himand say, 'well that's just Billy.' It'sabout time people started payingattention to him, because he reallydeserves- it. He's always been insomeone's shadow. He's the kindof guy you take for granted untilyou think about replacing him."

The third captain is Donovan(11.7 ppg, 4.4 assists pg, 18 blockedshots). The slender 6'2" pointmancan fill it up from the outside whenhe wants to, but concentrates mostof his efforts towards running theoffense.

"We're trying to create situa-tions for him where he can use hisscoring ability-more, but I thinkhe's got the intelligence to knowthat his main role is to run theteam and he's done a great job ofdoing that for the last two years,"said the coach. "Mike is also in thebest physical shape of his career.

Last year he had all kinds of prob-lems, but now he's healthy and youcan see the difference in his play."

In the pivot will be sophomoreJon Moorhouse (11.8 ppg, 8.7 rpg,1.4 blocks pg), who won a startingjob last preseason. Moorhouse,who caught the eye of over 100recruiters while in high school, de-veloped quickly last year, but hisplay was still spotty at times.

"He surpassed our expectationslast year," said Ogrodnick. "Weknew he was a Jegitimate playerwhen he came here. The thing thatsets him apart is that he can runand jump, and you can't teachthose skills."

Moorhouse also lifted weightsand played in a summer league inthe off-season.

"What we want from Jon thisyear is more: consistency, and I ]

• •• thinkvwe're gtnng :t6: see .steadier ••.'•play from him this year ."

When Moorhouse puts his mindto it, he can outrebound anybody,and his turnaround is practicallyunstoppable at this level. It's justa matter of going out and doing itevery game.

Rounding out the starting lineupis Tom Fitzgerald, a 6'3" sopho-more who averaged 3.8 points and1.8 rebounds last year as the thirdguard. Fitzgerald will be the topoutside threat in the startinglineup, but can go inside and re-bound if necessary.

"He's" been playing extremelywell," said Ogrodnick. "In the Sto-nehill scrimmage he hit about sixstraight jumpers."

There are several talented play-ers on Ogrodnick's bench as well.

Up front, the returning veteransare 6'7" senior Tim Curtis (1.7ppg, 1.9 rpg) and 6'8" junior DanMonohan (2.8 ppg, 3,6 rpg). Curtishas a good shooting and passingtouch for a big man, while Mono-han's forte is banging inside.

In the backcourt, Terry Blaney(2.0 ppg, 1.6 apg), who played inevery game last year as a fresh-man, will spell Donovan and comein when an extra ball-handler isneeded.

Men's Squash Anticipates Successby Tom Chapman

The Trinity men's squash teambegan practice this past week inorder to prepare for its upcomingwinter season. Returning playersto the team are Captain JamesCregan, seniors Biil Villari, PaulStauffer, and Jerome Kapelus,juniors Tim Burbank and RustyFearing, sophomores BruceHauptfuhrer and Nick Ritchie.

Last year's team was rankedsecond behind Harvard, losing onlyto Navy and Harvard, and beatingteams like Princeton, Yale, andDartmouth. Unfortunately, themen's squash team has lost severalkey players to graduation includ-ing Bill Doyle, a four-time AH-American, and Mike Georgy, atwo-time Ail-American. Other keyplayers who graduated last yearwere Doug Burbank, John Con-way, and Sandy Monoghan.

Needless to say, the team is

"looking forward to a rebuildingyear," according to coach StephenHeath. Coach Heath says that al-though the team is a little inexpe-rienced, they are working hard andHeath is looking forward to a goodyear for the team. He estimatedthat the team will rank aboutfourth or fifth this year.

The men's squash team opens upits season with its first gameagainst M.I.T. on December 2cndat home at 4:00 pm.

ure in the Bantams' plans.Don Green, a 6'3" leaper, prob-

ably has the most natural talent inthe class. Although his high schoolsystem was far less disciplined thatOgrodnick's, he is adjusting.

Glenn Kurtz, a 6'6" forwardfrom Cumberland, Maine was nota highly touted recruit, but couldplay his way onto the court.

Ted Lyon, a 6'5" swingman fromSuffield, Conn has been hamperedby a slow-healing knee injury, butOgrodnick says that he expectsbigthings from him and that he'sprobably the best pure-shooter onthe squad.

Sophs Terry Aloi and PaulSchlickman have improved but thenumbers dictate that they're notgoing to see much action.

schedule this year. Colby lost itstwo ail-Americans (Matt Hummeland Harlon: Storey), but Yale,.Clark, and Amherst (twice) will allbe tough opponents, as will Wes-leyan, which took the Bants intoovertime last year.

"The beginning of the scheduleis tougher than it might appear,"said the coach. "Westfield is as tal-ented as anyone and it has a goodnew coach. Amherst beat us lastyear and has everyone back. Man-hattanville is talented and Keenewe've never seen before."

The concern is predictable butperhaps unwarranted. After all,this is a team which won its lastsix games in a row and of those sixlosses, three were in overtime andthree were lost by a total of sixpoints. Considering the added ex-perience and talent, there's no tell-ing how.far tHis.: team can go, Butit's • going to he:fiiii Ending out.

Go Lady Bants!I got a formal, typed letter from our "esteemed" editor-in-chief, John

Shiffman, a few weeks ago which requires a public response and expla-nation. First, here is Mr. Shiftman's letter, reproduced in full.

"Dear Marc, It has come to my attention that the Tripod has been usingthe term 'Lady Bantams' in describing female athletic teams. Such a termcould be seen as sexist and demeaning. Please refrain from using saidterm in subsequent issues of the Tripod. All Trinity athletes shall be called'Bantams', whether female or male. This is not a request. Yours in service,John Shiffman."

Now I'll ignore the pretentious tone of the letter, after all it was writtenbetter than most of his editorials and I'm sure that the play of theRedskins had something to do with his mood. I'll even ignore the fact thatit was typed and sent through campus mail instead of discussed personally.What I wont ignore is the stupid assumption that the term Lady Bants issexist. Allow me to explain.

The term Lady Bants has been used for eons to refer to Trin's femaleathletic community. The Tripod has always adopted this terminology,which is there to clarify and not to offend. Official News Bureau releasesconstantly contain the term Lady Bants and, to my knowledge, no mem-

bers of the female athletic community have ever complained.The term is employed, on occasion, in headlines with good reason.

Headlines are dictated by the space available after the layout of copy. AsSports Editor, I try to fill that fixed and limited space with a messagethat clearly and concisely describes the content of the article to the reader.If I were to refer to all teams as the Bantams, as John suggests, thenthere would be no differentiation between teams and readers might passby a story, thinking .that it refered to the "other" Bantam team. Afterall, most readers don't read the entire paper; they skim headlines andlook for stories of interest. If they don't see a headline that catches theirattention, they might not read the story.

I maintain that the Sports Section is not. sexist. I have several femaletriends on and off campus and none of them think I'm sexist. Sexy yes,but sexist no. .

And so, John, the term Lady Bants will be occasionaly used, for thesake of accuracy, in future Tripods. I look forward to writing headlineslike Lady Bants Win Hoop Title" or "Chefs Chicks Win Swim Meet" inupcoming issues. Let's Go Lady Bants!

Poet Poet PoetO N E TURKEY CARVING ANOTHER

-

by Melvin FinkbinderOne night last week, I can't re-

call which one, Trinity College wasblessed with the presence of poetextraordinaire Buzz Frothing. Mr.Frothing is the author of 112 booksof verse, 14 novels, 2 literary crit-icisms, 7 children's books, and abiography of the legendary actressLinda Lavin. He spoke to an en-thralled audience in the basementof Cook dormitory and charmedthem with an all too brief readingfrom his latest book of verseYou're Ugly and Your MotherDresses You Funny. (Sears andRoebuck $1.09)

A native of Medway, Massachu-setts, Mr. Frothing had enduredsome harsh criticism for what onereviewer called his, "stark, if notentirely apocalyptic, world view."He made reference to these criti-cisms at one point during the eve-ning.

"Yea I know I got some criticsout there, I have a theory aboutthem. It involves cream cheese andthe process of decomposition."

The sound system, unfortu-nately, was not the best and some

impedance problem in the wiringsystem made Mr. Frothing's voicesound not unlike a bull in the throesof castration. But the predictablyshabby performance of the AustinArts sound technician did not de-tract from the evening. One partic-ular poem seemed to encapsulatethe entire evening.

"I wrote this poem while lyingnaked and spent on my bathroomfloor. It goes like this. 'Here I lienaked and spent on my bathroomfloor/ The world sucks and my en-tire body is sore/ Nobody loves meand dawn's draft is cold/ Hope Idie before I get old.'"

There's no question Mr. Fro-thing left the audience clamoringfor more. He read only four poemsand left with these words.

"And don't bother to get up, Ican find my way out. Thanks fornothing."

Still, despite the seemingly neg-ative tone of the evening, thiswriter was able to see through thepoet's transparent hostility to thepure and loving beauty in his heart.The brilliant and tortured mind ofa poet is just.too sensitive for thisworld and your shallow minds.

PORTSShults To Manage Yankees

by Marc EstermanSports Editor

Just when you thought the NewYork Yankees had hired their lastmanager came the unexpected an-nouncement last night from Yan-kee owner George Steinbrennerthat Robie Shults, veteran man-ager of the Trinity baseball team,has been hired to manage theBronx Bombers in '85. Lou Pi-niella, who was just recently hiredfor that role, has been fired beforethe season has even gotten under-way.

"Shults was our number onechoice all along," explained Stein-brenner. "We knew that he'd betough to pry away from Trinity so

we hired Piniella as a second op-tion. But when we heard thatShults was having second thoughtsabout coming back for anotheryear at Trin, we pounced."

Shults' selection as managershocked the baseball world.

"I can't believe that George wasable to get Robie to manage us,"exclaimed Yankee third basemanDale Berra. "With Yogi gone, Ineed a father figure to look up toon the team. That is, if I'm still onthe team. Anyway, I'm just realexcited about playing for that guy.He's produced some great ball-players. It's just too bad he's notItalian."

Although Trinity's baseballteams haven't won any champion-ships, Shults has developed manyindividual talents, a skill thathasn't been overlooked.

"I know that his record hasn'tbeen that great, but you've got tolook beyond that," noted Stein-brenner. "He's a real motivator. Iused to play baseball at Williamsyou know and I keep a close eyeon Division III baseball. I've lookedinto his record and he hasn't hit amarshmellow salesman or beat upany pitchers in his entire career.He's a credit to the game and wewant to make him a credit to theYankees as well."

"I just decided that it was timeto make a career move," explainedShults. "I don't think I'll have anyproblems adjusting to the MajorLeagues. Baseball's baseball. Ihaven't followed the Yankeeslately, but I know I'm inheriting apretty good team. Berra plays forthem, doesn't he? He's one of myidols."

Tighe To

Torn Pro!!

by Marc EstermanSports Editor

In a sudden and dramatic turnof events, Danny Tighe, juniorquarterback on the Trinity footballteam, announced yesterday that hewill forego his senior year here andmake himself eligible for the Na-tional Football League's draft inM a y . • • • • • • • •

. Tighe is hoping to follow in thefootsteps of Trinity graduate JoeShield, the all-time leading Trinquarterback who was drafted lastMay by the Green Bay Packers.Shield was subsequently cut.

"I think Joe's problem was thathe had Steve Gellman, the formersports editor, as his agent," ex-plained Tighe. "Steve talked somuch about him that everyonethought he'd be the next Joe Na-math. Joe just couldn't live up tothat kind of pressure. Instead, hebecame the next Joe Pisarcik. I tellyou, Gellman got a hold of him andnow he's all washed up. Next thingyou know, he'll be making appear-ances on the 'Love Boat'".

Tighe feels that his performancethis past season will make him anattractive choice for the pro scouts.

"I put some pretty good num-bers up on the board," noted thesoft-spoken Tighe. "I just feel thatI've done everything there is to doat the Division III level. I mean,after you beat Coast Guard, there'sreally little left to accomplish."

Tighe led the Bants to a 5-3 re-cord in his first year as startingquarterback and impressed CoachDon Miller, his fellow players, andfans with his heady play. •

"I love Trinity, but I feel like I'm
