In a letter dated November 18 to Senate President Leonard P. Mozzi '69 Lockwood addressed himself to judicial system recently rejected by the student body, the proposed charter revision, and the Senate resolution's mention of "all other changes . . . necessary to insure that Trinity Is the finest educational institution we can create." In deferring immediate action on the requested charter revision, Lockwood said that "to whatever degree the language concerning disciplinary procedures is ambig- uous, clarification should come from the Statutes and not, in my judgment, from a rewording of the Charter." He disclosed that a sub- committee of the Board of Trustees has already been set up to review the Statutes. This group had been awaiting student action on the judicial system, he con- tinued. In response to the requested student representation on the Board of Trustees, Lockwood said that he would ask the TCC to "take under consideration the im- provement of communications among groups representing the Trinity Community." Declaring that he was "delighted that the Senate shares our concern about the future greatness of this College," Lockwood listed three committees and one administra- tive study which he has initiated.

Vassar Professor of Psycho- logy and Co-ordinator of the Ex- change Committee Dr. Malcolm L. Westcott explained in an inter- view Friday that the program pre- sently suffers from a "novelty effect which could make it go either -way." There are very few applications in so far at either school, but Westcott claims he is becoming "more optimistic as we go along." He reports that interest on the campus has increased consider- ably during the last two weeks. The Vassar professor denied knowledge of reports that the history and English departments at the worn ens college were making it especially difficult for girls to spend a semester at Trinity. He added however that he "would not be surprised if they were" for those departments at Vassar place heavy emphasis on full-year courses. They might feel a com- mitment to their majors, he con- tinued, to keep them moving through the Vassar program with no interruptions. He also stated that there seem to be few courses at Trinity which a girl couldn't get at Vassar. For the faculty, the argument sup- posing educational value in "going to a different school just for the sake of going doesn't hold much water." College students who have travelled to Vassar during the last two weeks to encourage in- terest in the program bring back similarly ambivalent reports. "Some girls claim there is a good deal of enthusiasm for the ex- change, others act as if they have never heard of it," sophomore Wil- liam H. Reynolds reports. In all forty Trinity students have gone to womens college as guests of the Vassar exchange committee. Yesterday afternoon five faculty members, including Dean of the College Dr. Robert D. Fuller made the trip to answer questions in the dorms that girls may have about Trinity. Vassar junior Joan Rundle, who recently published a magazine on Trinity, Williams and Colgate, the three schools with which Vassar is exchanging next semester, says that the College has a "poor image." She explained that most girls think of Trinity as "a place. where they run secondrate frater- nity parties." She is confident however, that the image has changed since the program was first announced in October.

The main theme of the President's three addresses is "Our Mutual Concern: The Role of the Inde- pendent College." The two concluding talks will be delivered tonight and tomorrow night at 8:15 p.m. in the Wash- ington Room of Mather Hall. In last night's lecture, entitled "Greater Expectations," Lockwood declared that the academic com- munity cannot attempt to avoid involvement in the problems that agitate society. However, he warned that "a college cannot re- tain its vital independence as a critic if, as an institution, it takes political stands on issues not di- rectly affecting its well-being." The President added the "The con- frontation between orthodoxy and dissent cannot occur if the college is captive to a special interest." The President noted that the assassination of Martin Luther King demonstrated that indignation is not a satisfactory substitute for progressive action. He ' stated that while the urban problem may be an "interesting crisis" for stu- dents to live through, "The acade- mic community must lend a hand if we are to avert chaos in the cities." Lockwood continued that "Colleges will retain their vigor only so long as they help all of society retain its vigor." Referring to the public commit- ment to higher education, the President pointed out that his cen- tury has seen an extraordinary ex- pansion in enrollment in colleges and universities. He observed that at the turn of the century only 6% of the nation's eighteen year- olds graduated from high school while in this generation, over 75% of them graduate high school and more than 40% go on to some kind of further education. Lockwood remarked that the increase in enrollment will be absorbed mostly by state-sup- ported institutions. "But the de- velopment of state-supported higher education," contended the lecturer-in-residence, "Has meant not only a shift in student population but also a pressure upon the autonomy of higher education. Political manipulation occurs only infrequently, but bureaucratic ri- gidity is forever possible, even likely." The President claimed that the purposes of colleges and univer- sities have been influenced subtlely by the desire for federal subsidies. Even "the individual faculty member may enjoy such formidable fiscal support in research from government con- tracts that his attention wanders toward renewal of the contract and away from his institutional liaison," he said. The problem of obtaining ade- quate funds for a college while maintaining its intellectual integ- rity is not easily solved, as- serted Lockwood.

Janis Joplin And CompanyListening to the new Beatles'

tapes, I am writing about the showat Bushnell this past Thursday-evening. Presented were Big Bro-ther and the Holding Company,preceded by the Damn Yankees(formerly the Windjammers), alocal group.. First, let us dispose of the firstact. I was shocked when KenGriffin called in at WDRC afterthe show and said that "the DamnYankees have got to be the bestband in Connecticut." I would thinkthat Richard Duggan (or whomever

by D.J. Beilertelse is responsible) would havebetter judgment than to put such agathering on the same bill as anational group. Their balance wasterrible, stage act a copy of every•white soul act on the One Nightercircuit, jokes tasteless, cooldefinitely lacking, and just didn'tbelong on front of a concert hallaudience, although I presume -they're an excellent dance hallact. I did feel sorry for the leadguitarist, whose fuzz box wasn'tworking properly during their firstfew songs. But that was just

Isaac Stern RescuesConcert With Brahms

by Dean Walker'People arrived early Wednesday

evening for Isaac Stern's perfor-mance with the Hartford SymphonyOrchestra. A very few were seatedafter the evening began. Tickets,I am told were sold out. Mr. Stern'sperformance, like all visiting cele-brities', was reserved for afterintermission.

It was a long wait for the audi-ence. The evening began with aFaust Overture by Richard Wag-ner. Written during an exile toescape creditors, this is one ofhis two purely orchestral works.It is a personal opinion, but Wed-nesday's performance revealed forme a low-water mark in that com-poser's work. Perhaps he was pre-occupied. One could certainly tellit was Wagner. All the character-istic compositional devices arethere and yet they do not jell.Perhaps the work was under-re-hearsed. Perhaps as great apercentage oi the orchestra asthat of the audience was ill. Theviolins were not precise, a condi-tion aggravated by Wagner's pas-sion for constant arpeggios. I gotno feeling of a personal or meta-physical drama, but then I had acold. I suspect that the pieceitself is the primary offender, anexample of a less important pro-duct of Wagner's mind. Perhapshe required characters and text tohelp direct his energies.

Everyone knows Beethoven'sEROICA, the Symphony no. 3. Itis a monumental work. I believeArthur Wlnograd directed it withan accent on compositional prob-lems and their brilliant solutions,but the energy that sustains cer-tain passages, and the rich strength

that underlies others were shock-ingly absent. As a result, the sym-phony seemed either an overlyaccented caricature or a muddle.The tempo was very slow with mis-taken rhythms and muffled modula-tions. The Scherzo was the bestof the four movements, and by thefinal theme with variations theorchestra and music had come tosome mutual understanding.

Isaac Stern is the picture ofassurance and authority. A portlyman, he moved deliberately to takehis place left of center. The or-chestra almost visibly snapped toattention. His manner is as crispas his tie. It was certainly he whodirected the Brahms Concerto inD for violin and orchestra. It isanother monumental work and oneof great technical difficulties atthe heat of the music.However,equally inextricable is the possi-bility of a brilliant performance.

The orchestra was galvanizedby Mr. Stern and performed well,hypnotized with interest. At onepoint, the violinist seemed dis-pleased and looked ferocious. Butthe orchestra, when necessary,was either an adequate foil or•willing partner. Isaac Stern liasfantastic technical skill. But thisis Brahms, and there are marve-lous dramatic passages and pro-found inner warmth. And they wereall there along with the bravuraand syncopation which Mr. Sternpunctuated physically. Brahms'beauty and never superficial bril-liance have to be penetrated bythe soloist. Isaac Stern's under-standing in performance was awe-some.

symptomatic of the whole perfor-mance. And their finale wasstrangely reminiscent of the Va-grants' (Long Island's old leadingwhite soul group).

Now, Janis Joplin is truly amaz-ing. She is a big hussy who hasblown in from the Texas plains,rolling over everything in her way,bellowing her guts out for the bene-rfit of her hungry audience. But,like the Plains after the wind'spassage, she is parched and used,and very tired. She faced the openears with a raw resolve to giveit to 'em, and came off, exhaustedand successful.

Although she doesn't convey theusual blues feeling of sweet painor contentment with one's situa-tion (and converting that feelingto others with a positive sense),Janis is a blues person too. Onstage, she goes through hermotions, turning the crowd ontowhat they've been convinced is realblues, man. But, as she turns togo off and approaches the wings,her face becomes barren and dark,vacant of emotion and intensity (arare face for a master).

When Griffin called her onto theStage for an encore, she blurted"Get that shit off the stage" to usin the wings who were around her.It was a surprising tone of voice: Itshowed that she was notjust tired,but empty and fed up and bored.And she turned around, turned her-self on, and walked back on stage,ready to cry again. I really can'tsay why she should feel that way—maybe the band hassles; but onemust be astounded at her ability tochange her appearance instantly.She makes a confusing figure; hersinging strikes me the same way. . . a lot of power, packed withvariation, but not really buildingany bridges between herself andher listeners, as so many greatsingers have done in the past.She is very good. . . but not greatbecause something is missing fromher presence.

The band is not good. Sam An-drews in played adequate leads andthe best bass, but the rhythm guitarwork (on the part of Andrews andJim Gurley) was extremely weakand inconsistent. Bassist Peter Al-bin did not provide much punch,and drummer Dave Getz was boringand missed too many beats. Theoverall sound is what really hurts.The four instruments simply didnot produce a full sound, and fur-ther failed in having very poortone adjustments.

THE ONLY CINERAMA IN CONN.

Last Friday evening in the Wash-ington Room the Campus ChestFinale presented live perfor-mances of four very talented col-lege groups. Their musicalarrangements, varying from pro-gressive rock to big band jazz,from the Beatles to Steppenwolfand from Gerschwin to the Jef-ferson Airplane, were outstandingand thoroughly enjoyable. Even inspite of frequent mechanical trou-bles, the three-hour show pro-gressed with no appreciabledelays, thanks to adequate ad-libbing by the MC and an occasionalspontaneous joke from theaudience.

The first group to appear wasthe American Blues Exchange, aband which has achieved greatsuccess in the field of progres-sive blues. They played selec-tions from such well-known groupsas the Cream, Country Joe, andJefferson Airplane, never detract-ing but always adding to the musi-cal effect of the originals. Theresult was a compelling rhythm,and down-to-earth blues.

This first band should have beenvery hard to follow, as evidencedby the audience's favorable reac-tion. However, the Trinidads, witha professional's experience, madeit seem easy. Their repertoire ofburlesque-vaudeville comedy andfavorite, traditional tunes de-lighted the audience every second.Individual solos and total harmonywere combined most effectively;and even when several micro-phones suddenly went dead, thegroup maintained the tempo, adapt-ing themselves to the situation asif nothing had happened. With re-markable ease they moved fromtheir customary parody of "BlueMoon" to some more serious andmoving tunes such as "Yesterday,"accomplishing the transition with-out depreciating the effect of eitherone. At the end of their per-

formance they were assailed withshouts of "more!" from theaudience and consequently re-turned for one final song. BobWatts, a freshman with surprisingtalent, led the entire auditoriumin a forceful rendition of "RockMy Soul." For this extra spiritualexcitement, the Trinidads were atlast given a well-deserved stand-ing ovation.

Then, after a short intermission,the style was changed once again,this time to the impressive selec-tions by the New Collegiate JazzBand. The first few progressivejazz tunes were played by a sex-tet chosen from the seventeenmembers of the band as a whole.These interpretations of somewell-known songs seemed verypolished, even though much of themusic was, in fact, improvised.Finally, when the sextet hadfinished their performance, therest of the band came on stageto present their big band jazz incontrast to that of the small com-bo. The addition of such a variedbrass section to the foundation ofpiano-bass-drums gave a furtherdimension to the selections. Theharmony which the Trinidads dis-played with their voices was evi-dent here in the unified effort ofeach instrumental section. Eachmember of the band manifestedhis musicai talent not so muchby individual solos but rather morein the precise interplay of soundsand rhythms.

Nor did the entertainment stopthere. For, the blues and rockfans were to enjoy a second help-ing of progressive blues from thenewly-formed freshman group,Gasoline. And, even though theyhave been playing together for onlya short time, they managed tomaintain the high quality of pro-gressive music which had pre-ceeded their performance. Thegroup,"-• with their volcanic power,had the entire audience tappingtheir feet and soon attracted acluster of dancers in front of theplatform. West coast sounds wereprominent and an original instru-mental at the end demonstrated thegroup's individual talents. Gas-oline thus provided a fitting endingfor an already fast-moving musi-cal concert.

The Campus Chest must clearlybe congratulated on its highly suc-cessful Finale this year. The musi-cians were talented, the vocalistswere harmonious and the musicwas varied —a evening of superiorprogressive entertainment.

Branold to DiscussReconstructionism

NCJB Schedules ConcertDr. Theodore Branold, profes-

sor of educational philosophy,School of Education, Boston Uni-versity, will deliver a lectureentitled "Reconstructionism inSchool and Society" at the Col-lege this evening. Branold willspeak at 8:15 p.m. in McCookAuditorium. ;

Branold is described by Pro-fessor of Education Dr. RichardK. Morris as "the most prolificwriter in the field of educationalphilosophy since John Dewey."

His thesis is that progressiveeducation has served its useful-ness and that a necessary out-growth of this movement is whathe calls a philosophy for socialreconstruction, Morris explained.

The speaker is the author ofnumerous books. Among his bestknown works are: Ends and Meansin Education, Patterns of Educa-tional Philosophy, Philosophies ofEducation in Cultural Perspective,Toward a Reconstructed Philoso-phy of Education, and The Battlefor Free Schools.

THE TRINITY TRIPOD November. 19<1968

EDITORIAL SECTION

November 19,1968

No SupportPresident Lockwoods response to the Senate requested revision of

the College Charter serves to dramatize a long existing gap between theideals of the student body, (or at least, its leadership) and those who runTrinity College. In his letter to Senate President Mozzi Dr. Lockwoodspeaks of committees, awaiting recommendations, and the need toconcentrate on the College Statutes instead of the Charter.

While it would be unfair to say that the President has missed thepoint of the Senate request, it seems certain that he has attached toolittle significance to community ideal which underlies it. The Senate hasaddressed itself to the fundamental question of who shall decide at theCollege. It has not asked for studies, committees, nor minor reforms inthe wording of the Statutes. It is asking for student representation, withfull voting power, on the Board of Trustees. The assumption is thatstudents have a right to participate in decision making in all levels ofCollege Government. The committees, studies, and reforms should bethe outgrowth of decisions made with full student participation, notrewards for good behavior handed down from an arbitrarilyauthoritative Board of Trustees.

Dr. Lockwood's dream appears to be Trinity College as we know it,and as he knew it, with an added coat of administrative efficiency andeducational relevance. The Senate's requests strike deeper than this; it iscalling for a new community.

if the majority of students honestly want what the Senate is callingfor, they can have it. As was proved last year, the Trustees are not theonly constituent with the ability to "shut down Trinity College." If thefight for truly educational community, one where people make thedecisions which affect their own lives, is to be won, it will be done.through power not communications.

Despite the fact that the re-cent elections proved to be akeen disappointment to many stu-dents, a few valuable lessons canbe gleaned from the results andthe reaction to those results. Themost obvious is that students havea powerful, if not direct,voice in the political process. Itis generally conceded that Mc-Carthy would never have gottenbeyond New Hampshire in a viableform had it not been for the stu-dents who worked so hard forhim. Yes, the war was unpopularand yes, Lyndon Johnson was evenmore unpopular, but issues bythemselves do not produce votes.They have to be articulated andbrought to the attention of thevoters; they have to be used, Stu-dents proved to be McCarthy'smouthpiece when he could notafford to reach the voters elec-tronically. Their role was cru-cial. What began as a self pro-fessed campaign to change the warpolicy, ended up as a full-fledgedattempt to alter the complexionof American politics. In the pro-cess a President was forced toabdicate. The final effects are stillunknown.

Another interesting manifesta-tion of student influence, on whichI hope to write at length at somefuture time, was the congressionalrace of Allard Lowenstein in NewYork. I was particularly interestedin this race as it took place inmy home district. The politicalmake-up of the district madeLow-enstein's election seemingly im-possible. He had only two hopes— a student army of volunteersand the fact that for some strangereason, the Republicans had nom-

by Alan Marchissottoinated a candidate who was soconservative that he made LouisXIV look progressive. In confer-ences I've had with various poli-tical figures back home, thediscussion invariably centers onthe students. It is generally con-ceded that their work providedLowenstein with his narrow vic-tory. By going door to door, theysucceeded in convincing enoughpeople that the Republican, notLowenstein, was the candidate tofear, this in a Republican dis-trict.

I'd like to turn now from thesepositive examples of student poli-tical activity to less palatableones. One of the reasons thatGeorge Wallace was so intenselydisliked by most students and edu-cated people was, aside from hisovert racism, his tendency toview things in simplistic, blackand white terms; states rights —good, federal government — bad;rednecks -- good; students, pro-fessors and pseudo intellectuals— bad. He provided a safe havenfor all those who could not orwould not think. Emotionalism al-ways requires less effort and istherefore easier to appeal to. Yet,these same thought processes areexhibited by many students.A prime example was DavidGreen's diatribe in last week'sTripod, It is an accurate duplica-tion of the Wallace intellectualprocess, or rather, anti-intellec-tual process. The basic premiseis, and it is a popular one, Nixon-- bad; anyone who opposes him.— good. This is the essence ofsimplicity of thought. Its appealis directly emotional and differsvery little in aim from that which

Wallace employs. It is truly in-credible that Mr. Green fails tofind a single redeeming charac-teristic in Nixon. Further, hegoes on to confidently predict theexact nature of Nixon's personal-ity and temperament for the nextfour years. Look out Ithat shrouded,evil character is going to emergeand threaten us all.

This is truly immature. It re-flects a basically romantic viewof politics — the good guys ver-sus the bad guys. It's all verysimple, you see. The good guyswear white hats and the bad guysblack ones. How do we know thatthe other fellow is ALL bad? Welljust look at what he's said, super-ficially of course. Whatever you do,though, don't read any pastspeeches of your own candidate.You might be very surprised atwhat you'd find. Or perhaps itwouldn't matter. The good guycan change positions any numberof times but the bad guy, beingbasically evil as everyone knows,cannot. Dave Green and others whosubscribe to this form of'reason-ing" as exemplified in last week'sTripod, are living in a dream worldthat doesn't exist. Their thoughtprocesses are no different fromthe ones they so violently opposein George Wallace, the chief badguy. It may be humorous, or evencute, to parrot the standard viewof Nixon, but it's certainly wellbelow what is to be expected ona college campus. It is the sameold story of black and white ex-tremes. As Mr. Green has madeamply evident, Wallace and hi§crowd can claim no monopoly onsimplistic thinking.

LETTERS to the ckairmanBefore the Senate progresses beyond the point of "no looking back"

in this effort, it must be assured of the support of student body. Thereis little reason to believe, at this point, that it has this support. Beforethe fight begins, this support must be gained or the ca use altered.

To degrade the President's efforts at revitalizing and bringingrelevance, to the present College Community would be foolish. Hisimmediate goals are those of the student body. The sociology program,the new curriculum, the co-ed move, and the College's involvment insolving Hartford's urban problems must not be sacrificed amidst a fightfor an ideal shared by only a minority of the student body.

To the Chairman;

As an independent, I was annoyedby the slipshod arguments used inMr. Jimenez's article advocatingthe abolition of fraternities. Argu-ing the elimination of fraternitiesis equivalent to suggesting thatbecause Trinity as a whole is asocial desert, the only cases ofsocial outlet should be destroyedbecause they , aren't enjoyed byeveryone. Basically, it comes downto the rather childish argumentthat the suffering of some should bethe suffering of all. Equality shouldbe carried just so far.

About one half of most recentclasses have chosen to join fra-ternities. Why the hell don't theyhave just as much right to joinfraternities and so determine theirsocial life (stupid as that decisionmay seem to some independents) asthey should have the right to deter-mine their social life through un-limited parietals. It makes verylittle sense to argue for individualresponsibility in regard toparietals and against individualresponsibility in regard to frater-nities.

Mr. Jimenez asserts that frater-nities "serve little more than asasylums from the realities of ourcommunity and the world. . ."Why not? We all need our asy-lums; if some choose fraternities,so be it. After all, being an inde-pendent, itself is for many an asy-lum from fraternities.

Fraternities are no better andno worse than the rest of this col-lege. Why pick on fraternities forthe apathy of which independentsare just as guilty. Mr. Jimenezasserts that fraternities fall shortof Ml use of their resources. Isthat so unusual? Fraternities aresocial facilities not settlementhouses. Since when did inde-pendents develop such high idealsand social motivation that they cancall the kettle black. Most inde-pendents don't nave any sense of

community and could care less.Big deal.

Fraternities have their faults,but why kill the patient to curethe disease. A little hell neverhurt anyone. It's a pleasant changefrom the usual monotony of Trin-ity. Besides, if fraternities wereabolished, what would the TRIPODhave to write about year after year.

Let's keep fraternities. The op-portunity to be wrong should beopen to everyone. Unless we seekto live in 1984, social discrimina-tion will continue to exist — inboth institutionalized and non-institutionalized forms.

Men are different and thereforethey need different alternatives.Fraternities present one alterna-tive. They're not perfect. Neitherwill be any other alternative. Per-fection is not a human character-istic.

Fraternities cater to certaintypes of people. So does Greek 211.That does not mean that they'reundesirable.

Not everyone has the "charm"to get into Pst U. Not everyonehas the intellect to makeA pluses. Not everyone can handletheir booze.

But not every inequality or everyexcess necessitates a social cru-sade of moral purity.

tem. This being the case, frater-nities surely must go. All Trinitymen would thus be free of suchsocial constraints, and Mr,Jimenez would no longer be con-demned to attending those "sociallyirresponsible" frat lodge partiesat Tx every party weekendJ

Why Fraternities Must Still Go"History is a nightmare from

which I am trying to awaken."These words written by JamesJoyce have their universal appli-cation to the condition of men try-ing to escape from the structuresof the past - whether they be thehistory of American racism, themiscalculation of our foreign poli-cy, or the miseducation of ouryoung. We too at Trinity are insome sense trying to awaken fromwhat has been a nightmare ofintellectual cowardice and socialinadequacy. The current move-ment at Trinity seems to be ahealthy iconoclasm - a desire tosee things in a truer perspectiveand with a good deal more human-ity than ever before.

The new curriculum, as far asrumor can establish, seems toallow students to free themselvesfrom the disturbing bonds of anearlier academia. The concept ofthe intellect as a fluid possibilityfor personal development ratherthan as a peg in a hole seems tobe dominant. Thepromisingaspectof rumor leads us to believe thatwe now face the challenge of an'open' academic situation. It canonly be hoped that both studentsand faculty are fit for the task ofgiving the new shell some sub-stance.

But we suffer from a delusionif we persist in believing that anopen society, if that is indeedwhat we aspire to, will come aboutwith a new curriculum. Trinity issuffering from what Karl Mann-heim called "disproportionate de-velopment." I am speaking of asocial system and a style of lifewhich is inconsistent and oftenantithetical to the demands of anacademic community. Mannheimwrote that "a child may developintellectually with extreme rapid-ity while his moral judgment andhis temperament remain on aninfantile level, and the same isgenerally possible in the life of so-cial groups. "We may now be pre-sented with the prospect of a nswacademic challenge at Trinity, butwe have around our necks a burden-some albatross — an unequalsocial system based on discrimi-nation and social snobbery.

Since my last article on frater-nities critics of the system havebeen reproached with the declara-tion that this is not an "issue."True, it is NOT AN ISSUE to manyof those on Vernon Street, to thosefreshmen who are being heavilyrushed, and to militant indepen-dents. But IT IS A PROBLEM forthose individuals here at Trinity

who have faced and will continue.to face an inequitable social sys-tem. In a self-imposed myopia thiscampus has seen fit to judge itssocial system "adequate" and todeclare that "things are gettingbetter." We shall soon see whetherfraternities will do little more than

The present situation evolvesfrom the policies of past adminis-trations and the ethics of a pastperiod in the history of this coun-

try. Fraternities ARE NOT COM-PLETELY RESPONSIBLE for thepresent social system; the Ad-ministration must certainly sharethe burden of finding solutions tothis problem. However, the fra-ternities must, because of thesocial power which they possess,

bring about, with the aid of fra-ternities substantial changes-whichwill eliminate the inequities of thesystem. I would hope that theywould begin to move, but I am notoptimistic, mostly because theirvision of what Trinity should be-

LETTERS to the chairman(Continued from Page 4)

of emotional self-satisfaction in apolitical commentary — the over-generalization. Mr. Nixon was "al-ways" this and "forever" that.

Being more specific the idea thatMr. Nixon was "the unquestioningchauvinist (to whom) foreign pol-icy was a matter of good capital-ists against bad communists" givesthe man credit for no more sophis-tication than blind anti-commu-nism. This is more an indictmentof the basic American outlook onforeign relations — Democraticand Republican, sophisticated andunsophisticated ~ prevalentthroughout the 1950's (and onlyslightly modified by JFK). ThatNixon was a reflection of thisattitude needs no documentation.But the idea that he was an "un-questioning chauvinist" merelyhighlights the low level of Mr.Green's analysis. If "the issueswere always so clear-cut" for Mr.Nixon then why the acceptance ofthe Korean Armistice, why thegreat wavering in American poli-cy statements on Indochina inJanuary-July 1954 preceeding theGeneva Accords, why the greatlack of tangible reactions to theSoviet conquest of Hungaryinl956,why the "anti-Western" reactionto the Suez crisis of 1956, why themild reactions to Soviet pressureson Berlin, and so on. Unless onethinks that Mr. Nixon opposed allthese policy decisions as unpatri-otic and cowardly sell-outs of theAmerican raison d'etre then onemust conclude that his world viewcontained a variety of greysbetween the black and white atti-tude presented by Mr. Green.

Mr. Green's summary of Vice-President Nixon's attitude ondomestic affairs is even more du-bious. Without mentioning anythingbesides his strong and opportunis-tic anti-communism Mr. Greenonce again summarizes with asweeping, all-inclusive statement:"In national politics he was for-ever the rigid partisan..." Amaz-ingl Other than being a consistent

advocate of party politics andanti-communism where was hisrigid partisanship?On what issues?When did he establish this (con-servative, I assume) sectar-ianism? Mr. Green's ability tointerpret his own emotions isapparent. His familiarity with thefacts remains an unknown quantity.Perhaps he is familiar with theEisenhower-Nixon position andpolicies on such matters as mone-tary and fiscal policy, labor-busi-ness relations, social welfare andcivil rights, federal-state rela-tions and the limits of the execu-tive in domestic matters. If he isthen perhaps he could enlightenus on Mr. Nixon's "rigid parti-san" stand on each of these is-sues and the multitude of otherdomestic issues which were "al-ways so clear-cut" to the Presi-dent-elect. This shouldn't be veryhard since it "would appear thathe (Nixon) never experienced amoment's doubt" about the issues.

The internal logic of Mr. Green'sarticle is also utterly sloppy. HowNixon could be a "rigid partisan,"an "unquestioning chauvinist" andat the same time maintain "hisimage as the ambitious politicianon the make" is beyond me. Noman in the public limelight for overa decade could be the first twoand still maintain the third. Thatsort of political animal can existonly during national crises.

Further, this picture of a manwho is a super-patriot with asectarian domestic view (withoutany organized programs) cater-ing to the transitory emotions(both personal and national) ofthe public and Congress ("theman who will say anything") pri-marily because of a constantcraving for personal power ("thereare endless examples of great am-bition, but few of noble motivation")can be summarized in one word —demagogue. Nixon the demagogue?King Babbitt I?

Mr. Green avoids this unlikelyconclusion with various references

to the public and personal medio-crity of Mr. Nixon. A point well-taken but it just doesn't fit intothe previous description. If Mr.Nixon is a rigid, unquestioningextremist then even when he is'confronted with the limitationsof his office" he will easily findways to create Wallacesquedomestic crises and Goldwaterlteinternational crises. Mr. Greenshould then be talking of fears ofa police state and/or nuclear war.But he doesn't. Instead he talksof repugnance at the mediocrityof the man and the probability offour years of executive stagna-tion. This is hardly related toMr. Green's Nixon.

There are many good reasonsto be repulsed by Mr. Nixon theman but Mr. Green does little tomake these reasons clear exceptto quote James Reston once. Theliberal camp can certainly remainpessimistically self-assured thatNixon as President will not findthe means to re-instill popularfaith in the President (a la JFK oreven Eisenhower) but there is noway to know with certainty what hewill do (or not do) to solve themany problems facing the nation.Expecting "a four year hiatus"punctuated by "the old gut re-actions" of Mr. Nixon merelyshows Mr. Green's own consistentmediocrity as a political analyst.Apparently we should expect aPresident whose irrationality willbe matched only by his inaction.Even Mr. Nixon deserves bettertreatment.

Mr. Green will have to wait alittle longer for Mr. Nixon's first"old gut" reaction. The President-elect could easily laugh off theeffects of "Pox Americana."

To the Chairman:

The Elton and Jones dorms aretwo fine examples of post-warsterile architecture. They wereslapped up as so-called temporarystructures and have remained assuch for nearly twenty years. Themost blatantly unpleasant aspect ofliving- in them (besides the afore-mentioned cinder-block sterility)is the noise. The college has donevery little to control the "noise inthese buildings; the assumption be-ing that they are soon to be torndown and replaced and that any ex-penditure to make them more liv-able would be wasted.

Since the destruction of thesebuildings is not impending, I thinkthat, as part of the College's obli-gation to "provide an atmosphereconducive to learning," it shoulddo the following:

1) Put carpeting in all the hall-ways of Elton & Jones.

2) Provide permanent carpeting foreach room on a request basis.

3) Put sound-proofing on the ceil-ings of all the hallways whichdon't already have it.

Confidentiality of RecordsGuaranteed by Lockwood

In a letter received by Dr. Ed-ward Sloan, President of the Col-lege Theodore D. Lockwood gavehis approval to the report on con-fidentiality of student and facultyrecords •which the TCC approvedby unanimous vote, on Novembei6, 1968.

The report provides for the des-truction, after the students grad-uation, of all records in his fileexcept his application for admis-sion to the College, and his aca-

demic record. Other materialwhich the College Archivist con-siders of historical value to theCollege may be retained with theapproval of the President of theCollege.

According to James McClaugh-erty '70, a member of the TrinityCollege Council, the council hadoriginally planned to require thedestruction of all material exceptthe admissions application, and theacademic record. McClaugherty

said that this had been modifiedwhen the Archivist asked that in-formation be saved which wouldallow him to compile a "usefulCollege history".

McClaugherty expressed his be-lief that the student was well pro-tected in spite of this change be-cause of the amount of materialwhich the guidelines state may notbe entered into a student's record,including a student's political orSocial activities or views."

must in some degree always be--and I mean this kindly -- an in-tellectual service-station, a voca-tional emporium."

Speaking of the problem of the"College and the'Village World,'"Lockwood called for a re-evalua-tion of the effectiveness and pur-pose of the professionally orientedprograms of higher education.

Although the President urged in-volvement of academic institutionsin community affairs, he em-phasized the importance of main-taining a degree of intellectualdetachment. Quoting the remarkof Berkeley's Chancellor Heyns,Lockwood observed that a collegecannot become "an extension ofthe city streets." He added that"the College cannot become anagency for direct social action, or,for that matter, a welfare agencyexcept in the very broadest sense.The learning process can neverbecome secondary to partisanpolitics..."

While admitting the awesomecomplexity of our historical con-text, Lockwood declared that he"cannot share the essential pes-simism" which is expressed sofrequently. He asserted that he canunderstand the basic assumptionsunderlining the unrest of students,and remarked that he, like them,also has "a lover's quarrel withthe world." However, he stressedhis conviction that "we shall some-how end our floundering."

In conclusion, the President de-clared that " Higher educationmust...offer the opportunities toeach student to understand theperspectives from which he mayview life, life as the individualconceives it and life in the worldcommunity as a responsible citi-zen. There are not cozy Utopiasin a rapidly changing world. Thereis only rich experience open tothose who will reflect on what ishappening in this global villageand who will then act from asense of moral conviction. Ourexpectations must be greater ifwe are to. achieve the good life."

lege, had an honor system, andthat he believed one would workat the College. Battis stated thatif an honor system is adopted,it should include a provision mak-ing each student responsible forreporting the infractions of others.He added that the system shouldapply to social as well as academ-

with Battis, and observed that " ifyou're going to believe in the stu-dent's honor," it would be wrongto establish a method of checkingon their obedience.

Dean TomatDiscussesRegulations

The problem with parking facil-ities is that students only want topark their cars adjacent to where

! they are attending class or nextto their dormitories," declaredAssistant Dean of Students Leon-ard Tomat in an interview withthe TRIPOD Sunday. He also criti-cized students for using their cars"for all their coming and going."

Tomat claimed that there areadequate parking facilities on cam-

"*" -pus. However, he stated that stu-:.|—*dents do not take advantage of the

parking places near the FieldHouse and next to South Campus.He revealed that there will be anadditional 45 to 50 spaces avail-able when the Life Sciences Build-ing opens next semester. Further-more, Tomat advised that studentsconsult the College Handbook sothat they become familiar with theparking facilities and regulations.

The Assistant Dean of Students«* Ijbinted out that the regulations

were being enforced. He provedthis statement by noting that Mi-chael Conforti '68, an honors stu-dent at the College, was denied hisdiploma because of an excessivenumber of parking violations. How-ever, Conforti will receive hisdiploma next June.

When asked whether he felt thatsuspension for parking violationscould not be considered a "Cruel

^ wid -unusual punishment," Tomatreplied that he is "receptive to a

*»%etter idea." As a final observa-_s Won on the parking crisis, Tomat

v fevealed that there are parking• facilities for about 400 cars, and

that there are about 400 registeredcars on campus. "The unregistered

.: cars don't count," said Tomat.Turning to the question of felon-

ies on campus, he declared that"Vandalism has taken on largerproportions this year." He in-

' formed the TRIPOD that the vend-ing machines at the High Rise were

•' vandalized on Sunday in "broaddaylight." The incessant breakinginto the cigarette vending machinesin Mather Hall forced the Collegeto remove them permanently. To-mat reported that students helped

i, themselves to the machines afterthey had been vandalized.

"That's a good question," r e -marked Tomat in response to aquery about the origin of the

-crimes. He speculated that there' some student involvement.

of an apparent violation ofthesys-tem." Mattson stated that" a pro-vision won't make people behavethat way."

Dean of Students Roy Heathagreed with Mattson, commentingthat "you can't legislate mattersof the spirit." In 1964, he suggest-ed that the College adopt an honorcode that excludes a provision re-quiring students to report one an-other. According to Heath, the re-action to the proposal was varied.As an experiment, the honor codewas implemented for the summerterm, and it is still in effect dur-ing the summer.

Several members of the facultyexpressed the belief that the in-troduction of an honor systemwould not change substantially thetype of examinations that are givennor the method by which they arecompleted.

Mrs. Marjorie Butcher, lectur-er of Mathematics, stated thatthere would "probably not be manychanges" in the department if anhonor code were created. She cited j

the desire to place a time limiton tests for her decision not to al-low students to take tests home.Mrs. Butcher added that she re-mained in the room during an ex-amination so that she may beavailable to answer questions.

All the faculty members inter-viewed agreed with Battis' convic-tion that an honor code "shouldcome from the students." They be-lieved that only a system suggestedand endorsed by the students wouldhave the total support necessary ifan honor code is to succeed.

Before Dean Heath had suggest-ed an honor system in Septemberof 1964, the students of the Col-lege had rejected such a codethree times within five years. InNovember of 1963, nearly half ofthe 675 students questioned aboutan honor system by a Senate com-mittee felt that an honor systemwas not needed. The committeethen recommended that the motionfor an honor system be dropped.The student body as a whole re-jected proposed honor systems inFebruary 1959 and March 1961.

It is not however enough forAmericans to "help" the black man.Attention must be focused oneveryone's position in our system."When a white American movesbeyond guilt to a recognition that heis a brainwashed victim of ex-ploitation, then on the basis ofself-interest he can begin to workagainst the colonial status quo. Ifhe is motivated only by 'shame'then he will be limited to askingwhat he can do 'for' black people.If he is motivated by personalindignation, however, he will bemore able to view black people aspossible allies in a struggle forchange." (Hayden, in "Viet Re-port," Sum '68, p.62)

One visible manifestation of thisinsecurity was the material ex-ploitation of both the natural re-sources and of other men. Byacquiring wealth off the labor ofothers one could reach success,and as a result, both financial andsocial security. The ration-alization to accompany this wouldbe the glorification of work andachievement, the Horatio Algermyth; in other words, anyone start-ing from the bottom could attainthese goals merely through hard•work and a " good" life.

However, in spite of the overtemphasis on everyone's equalityand on the value of hard work,

The grandeur of thefeudal lord could not be forgotten.This delusion accounts for the con-stant verbalization of democraticIdeals, a repression of those ambi-tious ideas.

A new social system Is -necessary at Trinity — one whichwill close the "disproportionate -development" gap and which willprovide for free flowing optionsfor intellectual and social devel-opment. More fraternities will notsolve the problem of discrimina-tiojn and will not really solve theproblem of facilities. We need whatRoszack hascalleda"de-classing" -•„,.— a breakdown of the institutionaland personal barriers between stu-dents and faculty, and administra-tion. He writes that the "de-class- -ing capacity of academic life (whatReisman calls its universalizingquality) is potentially a liberat-ing experience." If Trinity is to :meet its responsibility to its own ;

members and to the greater com- >munity it must move to rectifythis irresponsible social situation. -

Men and women should eatin integrated facilities throughoutthe campus to which they will beassigned when they come to Trin-ity and will be able to alternateevery year at Trinity. Each eat- ,ing unit would function inde- ^pendently and would provide forsocial activity at the decision ofthat unit, (Note: A new dining roomshould be built for South Campus,while a number of the fraternity ;facilities would be converted intoeating' and social units to whichpeople would be assigned upon ar-rival at Trinity. Students wouldalternate every year according tothe present lot system.) I

There are a number of alternaptive plans and alterations to this >brief proposal which should be dis- \cussed in the Trinity College Coun- ;

Loofc •ing at the history of social life !at Trinity we cannot ignore the ;demand for .change. We must re- \cognize the need for a new socialsystem and indeed, a new social .',ethic, based on a respect for the fintegrity and individuality of ALLmembers of the college com-munity. Perhaps such a demandfor. greater freedom and its con- 'comitant responsibility may beiitopian, but we cannot continue to Iignore or condone the presentnightmare.

vides a useful mechanism to per-petuate social control of the people.In America racism served first ofall as a rationalized justificationof slavery. If black men were in-herently inferior, then it was al-right to force them to work likeanimals. Even though the ration-alization came later, it was ex-tremely effective in perpetuatingthe institution of bondage.

On a larger scale, racism creat-ed three conditions useful to thepower elite in maintaining the con-trol of the masses necessary totheir ends. These conditions werefirst, a unity formed by " exterior"elements, secondly, a sense ofidentity for the individual andlastly, a scapegoat toward whichto vent frustrations.

First the unity formed by " ex-terior" elements occurs when agroup Is faced with a common foe.The result is an externally formed 'alliance, which usually falls apartwhen that enemy ceases to pose athreat. On an international level,the NATO alliance is an example,the foe here being the Stalin myth.However in America, there hasbeen a conscious effort by white

bv Christopher Morrissociety to exclude the black man,to keep him outside. Thus fromboth the black man's and the whiteman's view, there developed twosocieties: one referred to as"our Society", the other as a mi-nority of foreign elements, 'obvi-ously threatening to destroy theformer. This created a sense ofunity for most people in thiscountry and which the governingelite has little trouble directing.

This leds into the second con-dition, a sense of identity. Manypeople when faced with total free-

dom of self-definition choose afixed role designated by some-one else. They " escape from free-dom" into an unchanging Identityfrom which they derive security.Sartre explains how many becomeanti-semites as this offered theman "essence," a fixed identity

as one who hates Jews. Of coursethis role is one of self-deceptionas no one can truly have an es-sence (until he is dead). But usedon a large political scale, identityon the basis of structure can beverv acoealing, as it was in 1939

Rod earned a B.S. in Math in 1966. Today,he's an IBM Systems Programmer working ona portion of Operating System/360, ahierarchy of programs that allows a computerto schedule and control most of its own""^rations.

A mixture of science and art"Programming'1 means writing the instruc-tions that enable a computer to do its job.Says Rod, "It's a mixture of science and art.You're a scientist in the sense that you have toanalyze problems in a completely logical way.

"But you don't necessarily hunt for an ulti-mate right answer. There can be as manysolutions to a programming problem asthere are programmers. That's where the artcomes in. Any given program may work, buthow well it works depends entirely on theingenuity of the programmer."

Programmers hold a key position in thecountry's fastest growing major industry-information processing. Business Week re-ports that the computer market is expandingabout 20 percent a year.

from 26 yards out to give the Card-inals a 10-0 margin.

Both teams sparred at midlieldas durable Stu Blackburn, Wesle-yan's outstanding captain, and Trincaptain, Mike Cancelliere, bluntedopposing offensive attempts fromtheir linebacker positions.

Finally the potent Hilltopper at-tack got into high gear after aHolbrook failure on a long field

After Formica gathered in threeaerials for 25 yards from the"Bird," Trinity rested on the Card-inal one with 20 seconds and theclock running. A fruitless runningplay witnessed the 5'9" directoryanking his players out of the pileup. Center Barry Sheckley some-how managed to snap the ball withno time left on the clock. Rollingto his right, the Ottawa, Illinoisresident hit James withahookpassfor a touchdown. Penalized on theensuing PAT, Ted Parrack misseda 35 yard extra point to produce a10-6 deficit at the intermission.

The blue-and-gold returned tothe field confident they had super-ceded the frustrating first halfexperience. Duncan immediatelydumped Panciera on Wes' firstoffensive foray to force a punt.

Taking over on its 47, the Bantsmoved 53 yards in just three playsto gain the edge for the firsttime. Harvey blasted eight yardssetting up a 28 yard screen passto Kiarsis. The boss then set thepowerful Hilltopper sweep intooperation. Kiarsis raced aroundhis right end, hurdled over severalwould-be tacklers, and sprinteduntouched to paydirt from the 17.

Parrack's successful PAT gaveTrinity a 13-10 cushion at 11:42.

Consecutive holding callssquashed a couple of offensivethrusts by each team to heightenthe exasperations on both sides.Blackburn and Cancelliere con-tinued to devastate the offensesbut the 225 pound Trin captainwas now picking up more supportfrom his cohorts. Success seemedassured as Haldy Gifford re-covered D'Arcy LeClair's fumbleon the .Bantam 42.

Kiarsis rambled 11 yards andthen gained a first down at theWes 30. But Blackburn, a Clare-mont, California product, snatcheda Bernardoni pass.

Panciera returned the favor asthe Meriden resident found"Cance" between him and the in-tended receiver. Cradling the balllike it was a new born baby, 'themiddle backer tip-toed to the Trin-ity 29. Bernardoni drove the of-fense the 71 yards in 13 skirmishesto tally with 4 1/2 minutes of thefinal period expired. Kiarsispushed in from the one capping atremendous effort by the 200pounder in which he carried ninetimes for 51 yards. No one seemedtoo worried when Parrack missedthe conversion. After all, the Hill-toppers had a 19-10 lead.

The despairing Cardinal fans hadlittle time to console each other asPanciera hit LeClair with a 35yard touchdown pass just 1:16 later.The returnees from the threestraight undefeated Wes teams of20 years ago could be heard re-miniscing about the 1946 comebackto edge Trinity, 21-14. Holbrook'sPAT narrowed the margin to 19-17.With that pass, Panciera broke theNew England record for T.D. aer-ials for a season - 17.

The inspired Cardinals demol-ished a Bantam offensive effort,aided by a clipping call which null-ified a long pass to Formica.

Wesleyan was quickly thwartedby a George Matava interceptionon their 22. Trinity moved relent-lessly toward the clincher as Kiar-sis slashed through the enemy'sdefense. Steve Farnham made asaving tackle on Kiarsis as the

The Middletowners moved upfield with alacrity even though lessthan five minutes remained. ButDan Battles pilfered another aerialdeep in Hilltopper territory.

Three Trinity running plays fellshort of a first down. James puntedto the Wes 35. Pancieraonceagainfound LeClair eschewing Bantamdefenders for a first down at theTrin 43. Tight end Blackburn, whohad broken 12 Wesleyan pass re-ceiving records this season,grabbed his first pass of the after-noon for seven yards. Holbrookcould be seen warming up for whatcould be a winning field goal. Hill-topper fans recoiled in horrorsince they recalled his 50 yardsuccess as a freshman.

LeClair cut over the middle onthe next play and gathered in aPanciera pass to the 16. Only se-conds remained as Holbrookrushed on the field, but a flag layon the ground. An offensive line-man had inadvertently traveleddown field as the Wes quarter-back scrambled to escape a savagerush. Back at the 50 and no time-outs, Panciera threw a despera-tion bomb which Matava again stoleto end the game.

Thus Trinity had extended itsmastery over Wesleyan to threegames. The seniors could claimtotal revenge for the shellackingthey received at the hands of theCardinal freshmen and an out-standing 18-5-1 record duringtheirtenure.

by Pete Wentz

Those who were able to attendlast Saturday's Wesleyan footballgame witnessed a fine array ofpoise and pinpoint passing fromboth Jay Bernardoni and Wesley-an's Pete Panciera. Although Pan-ciera gained more yardage pass-ing, it was Bernardoni's cool underfire that kept the Bantams in thegame.

The 'Bird' was almost solelyresponsible for the play that turnedthe tide in the game. Late in thefirst half, with Wesleyan on top10-0, Bernardoni led a Trinitydrive deep into Wesleyan terri-tory. Trinity had the ball on theWesleyan three yard line with notime outs remaining and only about30 seconds to go. Bernardoni threwan intentional incompletion to stopthe clock. Then he sent Dave Kiar-sis into the line for a small gain.

At this point there were onlyabout ten seconds left as the Wesmen were slow in unpiling, hopingto run out the clock. With aboutone-half second to go, center Bar-ry Sheckley snapped the ball to'Bird1, who somehow found MiieJames for the touchdown pass.

"We didn't have time to set upa play," Bernardoni commentedlater, "I just started rolling rightand I would have run it if Jameshadn't been open. It was not reallyplanned."

From that point on, the Trinityteam made the right play at theright moment. "That touchdownjust before half really helped. Wecame right back after halftime andscored in three plays," statedBernardoni.

Looking at the overall statis-tics, it would seem that Pancieraoutdueled Bernardoni. A closerlook, however, reveals that thisis not the case. The WesleyanQB threw for more yardage, moretouchdowns by one, and more com-pletions in the game, but he alsohad five interceptions to Bernar-doni's one. The 'Bird' also hada higher completion rate.

Panciera may have led NewEngland in passing, but it must beremembered that he was forced tothrow more often. Wesleyan didn'thave the runner Trinity has inDave Kiarsis, AmJierst has inBilly Foye, and Williams had inJack Maitland, so Panciera wasforced to throw more.

The Trinity quarterback didn'teven start at that position in highschool until his senior year — hewas a halfback and flanker. Seniorsafety-man Dan Battles was thestarting QB at Ottawa (01.) HighSchool. "Dan holds all the recordsthere too," commented Ber-nardoni.

It Is not too early for Bernardoni,Coach Miller, and the rest of theteam to start looking toward nextyear. "We may be weakened some-what on defense, but we should bestronger offensively," stated Ber-nardoni.

With receivers like Kiarsis,James, Spencer Knapp, Johnson,and Mark Formica back, the'Bird'could fly even higher next year.

Bantams Outlast Cards For 19-17 WinFirst Half TD DecisiveIn HardrFought Game

who braved the freezing tempera-tures and the dank confines ofAndrus Field were rewarded witha heartstopplng 19-17 conquest ofWesleyan before 4000 Homecomingparticipants last Saturday.

The 1968 version of the Hill-toppers finished 6-2 with lossesto Amherst and Williams in aduplication of the 1966 squad'sresults. Wesleyan concluded itscampaign at 5-3 but possessinga 26-24 victory over the Ephmenfrom Williamstown.

Both teams entered the tradi-tional war beset with injuries tokey personnel. The Bantams lostthe services of New England's pre-mier receiver, Ron Martin, andsophomore guard Bill Belisle whowere pronounced unfit before thegame. Defensive tackle Bill Sar-torelli watched in civilian clotheswhile assorted others fought offvarious ailments to get. anothercrack at the Cardinals. All in all,only two offensive starters fromthe original contingent could claimperfect condition as the Hilltopperswere forced into combat without,its two leading pass catchers andonly one of its top four rushers.

Coach Don Miller therefore hadto delve into his reserves to moldan effective attacking unit. MarkFormica, a junior flanker, caughtseven passes while making several

Bernardoni dueled on even terms.Panciera broke several recordsincluding a New England small col-lege standard of total passing yard-age - 1616. Bernardoni ended upwith 1382 yards through the airlanes and af?ntastic 61.7% comple-tion average on 129 connections in209 attempts.

Panciera got his team movingearly in the struggle. Following afumble by halfback Dave Kiarsis,the Cardinal field general used therunning of junior tailback GeorgeGlassanos to reach the Trinity 12.Then Panciera hit Don Graham witha scoring strike at 9:27. CharlieHolbrook's PAT made the boardread 7-0.

Wesleyan stifled the next Hill-topper offensive effort and r e -sumed their dominance of the ac -tion. Panciera drove his forces 60yards to the Trinity 24. Then a jar-ring tackle separated the pigskinfrom Glassanos. Tom Duncan fellon the loose ball for the Bantams.

Bernardoni initiated a drivefrom the blue-and-gold 24 to the43. But, as was to happen through-out the contest, the referees inter-fered. Trinity was detectedholding. So often did the officialspass this judgment against bothteams that there seemed to bemore "affectionate play" on thefield than in the stands. Both squadsfound it nearly impossible to gain

Trln Defense Stymies WesleyanAs Gibby Registers Lone Tally

Fighting a chilling rain andsloppy field, the soccer team con-cluded its regular season Friday,marching to a 1-0 triumph overWesleyan.

The victory gave Roy Dath's cluba strong uplift in preparing forthis Saturday's NCAA playoff gameat Hartwick. The Bantams alsogained revenge for last year's onlyregular season defeat. The teamfinished with 9-1 log, while Wes-leyan finished at 3-6-1.

Alan Gibby's goal in the thirdperiod proved to be the decid-ing margin, as the strong Trinitydefense held Wesleyan in checkfor the balance of the game.

The game began in similarfashion to the Amherst game thepreceding week. Bob Loeb was backat goalie after recovering from ashoulder injury. Trinity beganpressuring toward the Wes goal.Gibby and Pete Wules led the Ban-tam attack, but as in the Amherstgame, the shorts were narrowlymissing.

Throughout the first period, theTrinity fast break was workingwell. On one particular play, Gibbydrove down the left side toward thegoal. He took a shot toward theupper left corner of the cage,but the Wes goalie knocked itaway. Moments later Marty Wil-liams broke free- on a fast breakand shot, but once again the goaliewas in the right spot.

In the second period the Wes-leyan attack started to come aliveand gave Loeb a chance to test hisshoulder. The senior goalie wassuccessful in stopping severalWesleyan assaults. Onetime,how-ever, a Wesleyan shot dribbledacross the front of the goal andjust missed going in. At the half,the defensive struggle was knottedin a scoreless tie.

The Trin attack began again inthe third quarter. With two, minutesgone Gibby took a snot around theWesleyan goalie, but as before,it wouldn't go in, missing on .theside. Wesleyan also had a goodchance to score in the thirdquarter. Loeb blocked one strongWes shot, but failed to hold it,leaving the cage free for an openshot. Luckily for the Bantams,however, a comparatively easyshot was missed. ' i •

With about five minutes to go inthe period, Chico Roumain, whohad entered the game momentsearlier, took the ball to the

right side. He dribbled it aroundone Wesleyan defender and ap-peared ready to shoot. At the lastinstant, however, he faked theshot and passed it in front of thegoal mouth to the awaiting Gibby,who drilled the shot into the emptyleft side of the goal.

The fourth quarter was abattle between the Wesleyan of-fense and the Trin defense. Full-backs Manny Martins, Tom Kauff-man, Roger Richard, and MikeBeautyman, along with Loeb, heldoff the onrushing Cardinals to pre-serve the victory.

The Trinity squad is in reason-ably good shape for the NCAAplayoff games. Abi Haji, with aleg injury, has the only reallyserious ailment.

In the NCAA playoffs, bothTrinity and Hartwick drew firstround byes and advanced to thegroup of 16. The winner of theTrinity-Hartwick game will pos-sibly play defending co-championSt. Louis University in the quarter-finals, unless a Southern teampulls an upset. The location ofthat game will be decided by atoss of a coin.

Trinity students probably knowlittle about Hartwick other than the

fact that it's listed just ahead ofHarvard in the college guidebooks.Hartwick is located in Oneonta,New York; about 70 miles westof Albany. It is their first yearin the NCAA tournament. They-"'received the second New Yorkbid, with Army getting the firstand Rockp_ort the third.

The game should be a battle 'between the Trinity defense and ithe Hartwick offense. Hartwick hasscored an average of 3.4 goalsper game, while Trinity has givenup an average of 1.5 tallies pergame. High scorer for Hartwick iSAlex Tapadakis, who has scored 12 ^goals this year. Two South Amer-'~icans, Len Renaldo and Roberto ^Concha are also potent scorers iQTyHartwick. *""

The NCAA playoffs have addi-tional interest for Trinity coaches.Dath's alma mater, West ChesterState also made the NCAA playoffs.West Chester State will play thewinner of the Delaware-Templegame. Delaware is, of course, foot-ball coach Don Miller's almamater.
