Campus reaction to union issue mixedby Thorn PozenEdltor-In-Chief
Three weeks after the non-academic staff of ConnecticutCollege announced their inten-tion to form a union, the reactionof the college community hasbeen mixed. It ranges from theadministration's position of op-timism that the labor relationsproblem can be alleviatedwithout resorting to a union, toharsh criticism of administrationpolicy by the faculty. to strongunion support among the staff,to some criticism and much con-fusion on the part of students asto the facts of the unionizationissue.Al Popoli. the Facilities
Resources Management Com-pany's new director of FacilitiesOperations at Conn., whoreplaced Peter Tveskov lastweek, said that he was "en-couraged" be the formation of'the committee to explore areasof concern within his depart-ment, chaired by carpenter,Roger Pussinen. Popoli was notconcerned about complaints bymembers of the Facilities Opera-tions Department that they werenot able to have any input intothe choice of either the membersor chairman of that committee.Professor of Philosophy.
Eugene Tehennepe, feels thatthe differences between the ad-ministration and the workersshould be resolved through
discussion. He fears the poten-tial adversarial relationship aunion may bring to the College.But, he feels that by bringing inan outside firm (F.R.M.), theadministration has made opendiscussion impossible. "The ad-ministration wants it bothways," said Tehennepe. "Theywant it to be like it was yearsago, and they want an outsidemanagement firm here."Referring to a letter sent to the
College two weeks ago byTreasurer, Richard Eaton, inwhich Eaton labeled a union as apotential third party between thestaff and administration, Tehen-nepe said that "F.R.M. is thethird party alreadv here." He

physical structure of UnityHouse were written up in a letterby Carolyn L. Buxton. formerdirector of Unity House, ad-dressed to Dr. Robert Hampton,dean of the College and thechairman of the Minority AffairsCommittee in May, 1987. Theneeds detailed in the letter,which have since beendistributed throughout the ad-ministration, included mostlyrepair and/or renovation desiresthat required immediate atten-tion in order to improve the stan-dard of living for those residingin Unity House. Included amongthe list were items such as anadequate heating unit, stormwindows, corrected waterpressure, and kitchen renova-tions. Although some of theseneeds have been met, manymore still need improvement,such as the bathroom which isshared by the five students andthe newly hired intern."We have problems getting

Unity House provides morefor students at Connecticut Col-lege than a place to congregateand discuss issues. Unity Houseexists as a dormitory for fivestudents and one intern, in addi-tion to supplying offices forminority affairs.Unity's importance as an in-
stitution and dormitory is un-precedented. However, due tothe increase of minority studentson campus, along with thegrowth of the cultural programsoffered to these and all students,many believe that the structureof Unity itself has become inade-quate."My feeling is that the Col-
lege's needs and Unity's pro-grams have outgrown the ex-isting structure of Vinal Cottage[Unity House]. The result is thata lot of people are missing out onthe wonderful educational op-portunities that the MinorityCultural Center offers," saidSheila Gallagher, '88, directorof S.O.A.R. and a member ofthe Minority Affairs Committee.Gallagher went on to explain
that Unity's resources such as itsprograms, its library, and itsresidential center are necessaryin fostering the growth of theminorities here at Conn., and for

Crew column challenged
In last week's article, "Committee of the Week: The Scholarship and InternshipFund" on page five, thesum raised by the South African Scholarship Fund last year is $8,000.Also in last week's article, "Committee of the Week" on page five, the Philip Goldberg Internship is a
program for students of Connecticut College to work in the New London Community.In the article, "House President's removal brings vote of confidence system into question" on page
seven, the Housefellow did not simply abstain from voting. His position in such circumstances is as a non-voting dorm member.
To the Editor,
This is a letter concerning aConnthought column by BrookeBascom entitled "ReachingDeeper, Pulling Harder, TheJoys of Crew Are Not forEveryone." I would like todisagree with some of what wassaid in this article.The article starts out saying
that it is going to "dispell thecuriosity many people haveabout the lure of such a gruelingpast time. " This sentence seemsto me to start the article off onthe wrong foot. It would seem tome .hat the best way to dispellthat curiosity would be to con-vince the audience that crew isnot as unusual as it is made outto be. It is in fact similar to manyother sports, and even other ac-tivities.It does have certain sacrifices,
as do other sports. Rowers oftenmust workout in the morning,not because of any altruism. oreven a genetic defect, butbecause that is the time of daythat the river we rowan is calm.And if you expect to learnanything about rowing during apractice, you need calm water.This sacrifice is unusual, but Ithink. it is akin to sacrifices thatare required of other athletes. Itis similar to the bruises on theshins of soccer players, and tothe nighttime practices of thelacrosse team in order to be ableto use the entire gym.Rowing, contrary to the im-
plications of Bascom's article, isnot the only sport in which theathletes must go at full pressure.In wrestling, if you let up foreven a split second, it's allover.In running, if you slack off for amoment, you could be passed bynumerous opponents. In soccer,
football, lacrosse, field hockey,or any game in which goals arescored or touchdowns or runsare made. if one team, or evenone or two people on a team. letup for a moment. the other teamhas a scoring opportunity, andmay capitalize.
It is true that rowing is not forjust anyone. but neither is swim-ming or running or basketball.Successfully competing in anysport requires a great deal ofdrive and desire and Jove for thesport. I don't know anybodywho is altruistic about par-ticipating in a sport. The reasonI row is not to help other peoplemove a shell mile after mile, dayafter day. The reason I row, andI believe most other athletes dowhat they do, is to satisfy mydesire to compete. to fulfill mylove of rowing. and to worktoward my dreams of doingwell. No, winning isn'teverything, neither is being astar or a hero, and it's not justhow you play the game either.The key thing that people get outof sport is the thrill of competi-tion and doing one's best.Bascom said this in her articlealso, but she hid it pretty well,she said, "it really feels good towork hard." Only she didn'tmention that hockey players whosprint up and down the ice (andeven sometimes the pavement)work themselves to a frazzlesometimes also.A few words about ego.
.Bascom made a good point. Egocan sometimes get in the way ofthe corrunon goal, but not just inrowing, teamwork is necessaryfor success in just about allwalks of life. Ego can alsobenefit the performance of theboat or team if it works in the'right direction. If an athlete is

smart, lie or she can use his orher ego to perform a certain,well-defined job on the playing'field or in the boat. Sometimescompetition for a sport on thestarting team or the first boat canprompt athletes to be egotisticaland think about one thing -- him-or herself against the other per-son. This use of the ego resultsin the selection of the best fromthe team and can heighten inten-sity and display of ability, andexcitement. Many times when Iam rowing. my ego runs strong,and if forces me to raise my in-tensity up a notch. and makesme row better.There is one more unique
thing that I would like to men-tion about rowing (not to implythat other sports don't havesimilar peculiarities). When youare behind in a race, you cannotsee your opponent, and whenyou are ahead they are in fullview. This, I believe, has the ef-fect of exaggerating the thrill ofvictory that Bascom describeswell in her article, and also theagony of defeat, which happenseven to the best of rowers,This is the way I see rowing as
related to other sports, and Ihave meant no offense in this let-ter. I do suggest to you rowersout there that the next time youthink you are crazy to be out onthe water in the cold, with freez-ing hair, think about otherathletes such as the sailors whotravel to Castine, ME in the latefall to race in frigid temperaturesand sometimes in high windsand for long periods of time,who don't even have the intenseaerobic work to keep themwarm.Sincerely,

over another (men)." The lackof women as role models forboth male and female students isone factor that sets up such ahostile environment. Perhaps inaddition to high qualifications,one of the criteria for our n~wpresident should be that of beingfemale. This would not benecessary if the makeup of tileadministration was somewhatbalanced on a gender scale, butconsidering the one-sidednessthat now exists, a female can-didate is a necessary addition toa campus interested in c9-education at all levels. Perhapsthe selection of a female presi-dent, the work of groups such asA.S.E. (Action for SexualEquality) and S.O.A.R., and theopen discussion of relevaritissues in classes and schoolpublications will heightenawareness of problems of sex-ism. As I said, I applaud the arti-cle on the lack of female leaderson campus, it begins to exploreone issue in the very pervasiveand complicated problem of sexlism.
VIEWPOINTThe SAIFC expands on Voice article
To the Editor:
We'd like to respond to the"Committee of the Week"feature in last week's Voiceissue. Though we appreciate theattention, the article on TheScholarship and Internship FundCommittee did net express allthat we had hoped. We thereforewish to clarify the role of ourcommittee so that people willrecognize this cause as the wor-thy one that it is.The expansion of the South
African Scholarship Fund to in-clude the Philip Goldberg In-ternship Fund evolved due to thedesire or" the committeemembers for Conn. to have adirect impact not only on thetroubled nation of South Africa,but on our immediate communi-ty as well. As was described inanother article also in lastweek's Voice issue, the SouthAfrican Scholarship Fund hasbeen immensely successful andis currently supporting a youngSouth African woman in herthree year candidacy for aBachelor of Arts degree at theUniversity of Natal.There will be two Philip
Goldberg internships availablenext semester for Conn.students. One of these will in-volve working with the mayorand city manager of New Lon-don. This intern will help ad-dress issues of local concern,assist in the development of thewaterfront, and receive otherhands-on experience of this
nature. The other internship. which the committee membersare presently involved increating is a position in theGuidance Office of the NewLondon High School. This in-tern, among other things, willhelp identify potential collegestudents and their needs, coor-dinate tutorial programs for thestudents, create P.S.A.T. andS.A.T. preparational programs,help educate the parents onfinancial possibilities where col-lege is concerned, and serve as aliason between Conn. and theHigh School.This is a unique and wonder-
ful program which will helpcreate at Conn. College anawareness of, and involvementin, the community. There willbe more information concerning
. the specifics of the internshipsand the application, process. Wehope that you will participate en-thusiastically in our fundraisingevents and awareness programsthroughout the year.

To Ihe Editor:
I applaud the recent article inThe Voice, "Women Lacking inCampus Leadership Roles"(Nov. 2). It identifies the gapbetween the number of male andfemale leaders at a school whichused to be exclusively femaleand continues to have a majorityof female students. DeanTolliver wonders, "What in theattnosphere might be holdingwomen back?" The history ofthe school should provide in-spiration to the women on cam-pus. But this is not so. It seems,rather, that there is little respectfor the history of the school,especially as a strong institutionfor women. This view seemedapparent in the recent issue ofThe Voice which contained threearticles discussing the greatvalue of the coeducational ex-perience here, while downplay-ing the strength of the schoolwhen it was single sex. Yes,there have been improvementsin the school in areas of diversi-ty, social opportunities, andathletic facilities: Unfortunately,there have also been radical
changes in-the numberof womenin student leadership positions,as well as a decrease in the per-cent of women facultymembers,especially in the higher tenuredpositions, and radically fewerwomen in the administrationandthe senior staff.There may be fewer women
running for student leadershippositions. but is that surprisingin an atmosphere with fewwomen as role models in highlyvisible leadership positions?Although the school has goneco-ed, female studentsare still inthe majority. But only 36 per-cent of the faculty are women.On the senior staff, The Presi-dent of the College, TheTreasurer, The Dean of the Col- "lege, and The Dean of the Facul-ty . are all male. There arewomen on the senior staff: TheSecretary of the College, TheActing Director of Develop-ment, and The Dean of Admis-sions, yet these positions are notas visible and students rarely seethese women.Dean Tolliver speaks of an
"atmosphere that might be sub-tly hostile to one group (women) Andrea Golaine, '88

The Christmas decorations arealready out at Super Stop andShop. Most of aisle 10 has beendevoted to ornaments, wrappingpaper and small plasticCh ristmas trees. There is aseven foot high cage overflow-ing with yellow, green and redbows standing in the middle ofthe aisle. I think that the decora-tions have been out for a fewweeks.
I say that because Super Stopand Shop is ready, ready itseems for most anything. Insidethe store there is a flower andplant shop, a pharmacy, a deli, avideo center, two separatebakeries and a fish market.There are eighteen cashregisters--enough to serve afrighteningly large group offrantic shoppers.
There are televisions, hair-dryers and toasters, Barnes andNoble books across from a signthat says simply, "Cold Beer."I found plates, pillows, pantyhose, glasses and toilet seats onaisle 14, a two inch high, fiveinch across coffee mug on aisle

its merits are apparent to me.It's fun to go someplace wh~reyou aren't expected to act likeyou are 21. You can put asidethe stresses of resumes, grad.school applications and inter-views to enjoy friends in aclosed setting.
The bar doesn't have the in-tense atmosphere of kegs, wherepeople slam and scam with avengeance. Instead, it is a placeto go to meet friends in an un-frustrated environment.
Where else can you go to seepeople under such cir-cumstances? In the library, peo-ple have exams and papers on

The only time this unique at-. mosphere is ruined is when toomany people decide they need anight of total relaxation withfriends at the same time. Thenthe atmosphere backfires. Sand-wiched in like sardines, peoplesaturate each other with beerfumes and body heat. Thisquickly becomes quite ag-gravating and instead of a nightof relaxation, you end up sweatyand buzzed off. of someoneelse's breath.

...I, like Brooke, do not frequentthe Bar, either. In fact, I can'tsay that I've ever been in the Barbefore, because I am, like moststudents at Connecticut College,under the drinking age. It is forthis reason that the Bar remainsshrouded in mystery. We've allseen the conviviality and merri-ment as we stood in line for alate night snack in Cro but dowe really know what it's likebehind those hallowed plateglass windows? I tried to findout for myself by speaking tosome of the seasoned veterans.
What makes the' Bar sopopular that sometimes it is im-possible to find a seat? Well, ac-cess to the Bar is seen as aprivilege, shared by mostseniors and some juniors. TheBar is an escape from everyonewho isn't 21. Prices for beer arereasonable, at $4.25 for a pit'cher of Coors or Rolling Rock .
And of course there are thenever-ending drinking games."Chandeliers" being the mostpopular.
For those of us who are under-age, we need not get frustrated;we, too, can have fun at the Bar.If you 'are scheming and deceit-ful, you might enjoy the art oftrying to sneak in. If it is of anycomfort, I've been told that aconsiderable number of under-age students successfully make itin .. However, I warn you: asmany as ten students are caughteach night. Another pastime(which happens to be one of myfavorites) is hanging around theentrance of the Bar, watching in-ebriated upperclassmen taking"boot breaks."

NEW LONDON FOCUSLiteracy Volunteers Program new at Conn.
by Nancy GruskinThe College Voice
"Our goal is to help peoplelearn how to learn," said An-thony F. Sabilia, Jr., the Direc-tor of New London Adult andContinuing Education. Amongother courses offered, the officeof Adult and Continuing Educa-tion, through the LiteracyVolunteers of Greater New Lon-
gram."It takes a lot of time, time
which many students just don'thave," said Sabilia.The Basic Reading Workshop
. is an IS-hour course designed totrain volunteers to teach readingand writing. The English as aSecond Language Workshop isalso an 18-hour course which isdesigned to train volunteers toteach conversational English to
instructing a student and toprepare each lesson beforehand.Sabilia actively encouraged
Connecticut College students toparticipate in the program."[The Literacy Volunteer Pro-gram] provides valuable educa-tional and life experiences,"said Sabilia. "It gives students achance to assist the community ~and to see an educational process ~probably very unfamiliar to .~them." ~At the beginning of the fall ~
semester, Margot Sewall, a dReturn to College student at ~Conn. who works at the Office ~of Volunteer Services, becamedirector of the LiteracyVolunteers Program on theConn. campus. The program isbeing set up in conjunction withCampus Compact, a nationwideprogram that helps colleges anduniversities organize volunteerprograms."We're going to have our'
~ volunteers trained and then putinto the Adult Education pro-gram through Anthony Sabilia,"says Sewall.
~ The program faces two pro-t blems according to Sewall, First:2: of all, there is an insurance pro-t2 blem due to sending Conn.e::: students into strangers' homes.Secondly, there is a problem ofcommitment. The program asksthat the student work for twosemesters and attend two all-daytraining sessions. Also, thenumber of vacations that Conn.students have interrupts the con-tinuity of the lessons.Since 1982, more than 500
people have earned their highschool degrees through AdultEducation. Sabilia felt that theLiteracy Volunteer Program has, had an immense impact on thesepeople and the rest of the com-munity. "People have gotten offof welfare, voted for the firsttime. gotten better jobs, andsimplv bettered themselves."

The Priorities Planning andBudget Committee, formed at thebeginning of last year, is an •'at-tempt to coalesce the duties ofseveral committees," accordingto Dean Johnson. dean of thefaculty.Included among the commit-
tees combined to form thePriorities Planning and BudgetCommittee is the Long-rangePlanning and DevelopmentCommittee which "looked atideas for the future," accordingto Johnson. "It tried to con-figure the best arrangement for'the campus in the next 20 to 25years including traffic-flow oncampus, dance facilities, andtechnological support," saidJohnson.The Faculty/Student Budget
Committee was also blended in-to the new Priorities Planning

combined to "bring planning in-to sharper focus so all aspects ofplanning could be broughttogether and looked at," saidJohnson.Among the new committees'
duties are to make recommenda-tions to the president and the
treasurer. Also, said Johnson,"The committee is trying todetermine what it should focuson specifically: whether it beCrozier-Williams, curriculumdevelopment, or buildingneeds .' ,The committee is also respon-
sible for overseeing aspects of. the College's budget, accordingto Rayanne Chambers, associatetreasurer. "The committee dealswith using income from endow-ment which is set at five percentof the average endowment forthe past three years," saidChambers."The amount of endowment
which we use five percent of is arolling average. This year,however, the figure amounts to$1,392,000," she said.According to Sam Seder,
S.G.A. president, "The com-mittee has 13 voting members:five faculty and five administra-tion. The students on the com-mittee bring a different perspec-tive to the College's needs.""One of the focuses of the

If most Connecticut Collegestudents were asked to describetheir perceptions of the Abbeyenvironment, the generalizationswould be wide-ranging.However, if one were to wrapthem all up, the traditional mythwould picture Abbey residentsas close knit, liberal minded,carefree but politically aware,earthy, "hippie" co-opdwellers. At Connecticut Col-lege? Could it be? What is thereality of life in Abbey House?When Matt Hockenos, '88,

Showmanship and Humor:Modern Jazz Quartet was enjoyable
by Kevin O'BrienThe CoUege Voice
The combination of themusical talents of the ModernJazz Quartet and their showman-ship humor made for a most en-joyable evening.Leading the night off with
"Rhythm in Blues," the groupdemonstrated their unique styleand sound of music. The ensem-ble 'then continued to displaytheir tremendous musical talentsby playing some of their manyoriginals, featuring ones fromtheir new album, Three Win-dows, and one or two written byCount Basie and Duke Ell-ington.During the evening, each of
the performers was given the. chance to prove his exceptionalabilities when featured on his in-strument. Milt Jackson exhibitedremarkable erecision at all timesduring his solo on the vibraharp.His accuracy coupled with hissense of rhythm and improvisa-
tion was at the very heart of theband's style.The foursome later played a
tune entitled "WatergateBlues," written by bassist PercyHeath to feature himself on hisinstrument. In the introductionto this piece, Jackson illustratedthe band's stylized sense ofhumor by joking about howHeath finally· wrote the songafter 15 years and is now con-templating w'riting one on theIran-Contra affair.In '~'Watergate Blues,"
Heath's solo, which surprisedthe band. in length, was veryrhythmic and showed Heath'sability to keep the beat and stilljazz it up a little bit.Pianist John Lewis performed
a jazz 'version of the classicalpiece "Milano," where hedemonstrated )tis gifted abilityon the instrument. However, thestyle of jazz was much softer anddifferent from the rest of theconcert, but nonetheless en-joyable.

Arts&iEntertainmentScreaming Blue Messiahs release new LP
by Todd WeymanThe College Voice
Review: Screaming BlueMessiahs' album, Bikini RedWith the release of their latest
album entitled Bikini RPII theScreaming Blue Messiahsdeliver a musical menagerie re-sounding with heavy guitars,strong bass and percussionbeats, and screeching vocals.The band, consisting of guitaristand vocalist Bill Carter, bassistChris Thompson, and drummerKenny Harris, are rightfullynamed, inasmuch as their musicscreams full force at you. Isense, however, that on BikiniRed the band falls short of theirname of "messiahs," otherwise'I have missed someth ing.Perhaps the only apparent
message on the album is that aband can foresake lyrical andpoetic aptitude and still build analbum solely upon harshsounding music. Carter explains
the source for one of the album'ssongs, "Jesus Chrysler Drives aDodge," as originating from hislove of cars. "Driving in a car islike being in a little world," sayslyricist Carter, Therefore. one
might extrapolate that "IWannaBe a Flintstone," another songfrom Bikini Red, must be aboutCarter's obsession with car-toons.All mockery set aside, the
Messiahs do produce highly in-novative, complex music.Although at times it may beharsh to the ear, it can berelatively good music to play ifyou're throwing a fierce party.Carter's guitar playing can bedescribed in a positive sense asnothing less than screeching.scratching. and noisy. Add thesteady beat of Harris' drums aodThompson's bass and theMessiahs' sound is complete,Bikini Red will undoubtedly
be a popular album among surf-punks, head bangers, and thosewho enjoy loud, new wave rock.Conversely, Conn.Is classicaland easy listening fans probablywon't appreciate the music of-fered on the Messiahs' newrelease. However, David Bowiehas chosen the Screaming BlueMessiahs to open several of hisU _K_ shows, which might besufficient to persuade someBowie fans to give Bikini Red a ,listen.
Night at the Opera: Tosca hits the markby Austin Wrobel
A & E Associate Editor
Review: ''Tasca,'' by Puccini.at the Metropolitan Opera, NewYork City.The current revival of Puc-
cini's "Tosca" at theMetropolitan Opera was pro-bably one of the most satisfyingevenings to be had, What madethe performance so wonderfulwas the evening's title role asperformed by Eva Marton.Marton performed the role for
the first time last season andeven made the front page of TheNew York Times when she wasaccidentally punched in the jawby a highly dangerous Scarpia.This season's performance hadno such touches of realism butwas no less compelling. Whatmade Marton's Tasca somagical is the soprano's com-plete understanding of thislarger than life role. Thesoprano then deftly expressedher understanding through sing-ing of great distinction and

fascinating dramatic histrionics.Though Marton took some timewarming up vocally in the firstact, by the second act thesoprano had the audience on theedges of their seats.Complementing Marton's
highly impressive performancewas the evening's Scarpia, Sher-rill Milnes. The baritone's en-trance in act one immediatelycaused one to fear and loathMilnes' character without a noteuttered by the singer. A perfectScarpia in every sense was easi-ly the best way to categorizeMilnes' performance. VocallyMilnes' rich and expressivevoice portrayed his character'smenace vividly. This com-plemented, by the baritone'shighly effective dramatic activi-ty, created a performance ofwinning distinction and easyremembrance.The evening's Cavaradossi as
performed by GiuseppeGiacomini found the tenor in astate of excellent vocal health.Giacomini was at his best in thefirst two acts where his voice
ringed with impeccably stronghigh notes. His third act "Elucevan Ie stelle" suffered fromsome muddy vocalizing and aless than ihrilling top.Dramatically, Giacomini was nomatch for Marton and at timeseasily faded into thebackground.The Romanian-born conduc-
tor, Christian.....Badea, made hishouse debut in the pit. Hisabilities as a conductor are stillsomewhat unrefined, especiallywith his tendency toward loud.orchestral playing. At times theperformance was a tug of warbetween the pit and stage as towho would be heard. In otherroles, !talo Tajo's highlyfamiliar Sacristan is still a joy towatch and hear. Andrea Velis'Spoletta was also an added at-traction to the evening. FrancoZeffirelli's immense sets are stillvisually breathtaking even ifthey dwarf the characters _thatfill them. Yet performances ofMarton's or Milnes' type couldbe dwarfed by nothing, no mat-ter how grandiose the setting.

~SPORTSi~~~~~~~======~:;::==:::;:;;~~~~; Women's Squash Team Gets~ Ready for Varsity Status.~------------~ by &edt MdOerDaDl:, The CaIece Vole<
~ This winter. in addition to the~ sound of bouncing basketballs in
the athletic center, there will bethe sharp echo of squash ballsricocheting off the walls, as thewomen's squash team begins itsfirst year as a varsity spert.
Although one might expect asquad full of eager freshmenready to learn the spert and growwith the program. nine of theteam's 11 players are seniors.Coach Sheryl Yeary is pleasedwith the senior turnout.
'" like working withseniors," Yeary said. "They'rea group of people who have theirpriorities in order. They arewilling to put in the time and ef-fort to represent the school in agood fashion."
Yeary expects seniors Betsy'Rider and Jenn Scheller, who
. are presently ranked number oneand two. to lead the team.
"They have a great deal of ex-
perience," Yeary said. "Theirskills are developed, and there isa contrast between the powerand the finesse parts of theirgames.
Rider and Scheller are the on-ly two players with competitiveexperience for CONN. ButYeary looks at this year as anoppertunity for her players tolearn the game of squash and toestablish the program here.
The first year. we are not go-ing to judge our success on whatour record is," Yeary said."We'll do our best to make pro-gress and promote the sport."
Yeary established three goalsfor the team to strive for thisseason. The first, which hasalready been met, is to have thenumber of players interested inthe sport to justify having ateam.
The second, to learn as muchas they can about the game ofsquash. And the third, accor-ding to 'Yeary, is to "create ex-
citement for the sport to en-courage others to join. "
Yeary, too, is inexperiencedin the sense that she has nevercoached squash before, and inunsure about what to expect asfar as wins and losses for the up-coming season.
"Every team we play has beenorganized longer than wehave," Yeary said. "Inschedul ing matches, we putteams on the schedule whoweren't the most established.
The women open their seasonwith a match at Wesleyan onDecember 1st. Nine players willcompete at this match; however,the ladder has not been com-pletely established (except forthe top two spets).
Yeary is already very en-couraged that such a great in-terest has been demonstrated andhopes that her team's enthusiasmfor the spert will be equallyreflected by strong suppert fromfans.
Men's Soccer Tries to Figure OutReasons or Frustrating Season
.1
by Tim KillenbergThe CoUege Voice
Jeff Geddes scores a perfect,textbook goal. Todd Taplin netstwo timely scores. Kevin Wolfestops a penalty kick.
The Connecticut CollegeMen's Soccer Team certainlyopened their 1987 fall schedulewith an auspicious start as theaforementioned exploits spurredthe Camels to a 3-1 victory overTufts University.
How then does one explain theCamels' frustrating 8-6 seasonafter returning all but twoplayers from the team that lastyear was ranked second in theECAC Division ill?
Camels captains Wolfe andTaplin point to excessivepreseason expectations and alack of (earn discipline as possi-ble reasons for CONN'sdeparture from the NESCACelite.
After an explosive season lastyear, Coach Bill Lessig's youngteam entered this season withhigh hopes. Following the open-ing win over Tufts, however, theCamels dropped three straightmatches, before topping even-tual playoff qualifier Amherst
College.The irony of such a win over
Amherst may illustrate the basisof many of CONN's difficultiesthis year. After such a produc-tive year in 1986, the Camelswere expected to vie for theECAC title they came so close towinning a year before. Thispressure may have beendetrimental to the team's pro-gress, according to Wolfe.
Following three straightdefeats, CONN had little to loseagainst Amherst, a teamunscored against prior to thematch. With no pressure, theCamels played like a champion-ship team beating the Lord Jeffs1-0.
Lessig's team then backed uptheir Amherst contest efforts bybeating five of their next six op-penents, to compile a 7-4record.
With three games left in theirseason, the Camels deter-mined their own fate in thelatter part of the schedule. Battl-ing a shaky start, CONN neededvictories over Williams Collegeand eventual ECAC Division IIIchampion Middlebury Collegeto earn a s t in the st-season
playoffs.Unfortunately for the Camels,
the squad carne up short againstboth foes, dropping a 3-0 deci-sion to Williams and losing 5-2to Middlebury in a snowy, slop-py match.By no means is an 8-6 record
anything for CONN to beashamed of. Lessig and his teamshould be commended for theirachievements and the continua-tion of a winning tradition aspart of a solid program.
Both Taplin, a junior, and thegraduating Wolfe feel, however,that a new direction must betaken if CONN is to take full ad-vantage of their abundant talentnext year. Taplin emphasizesindividual confidence anddiscipline as aspects which canbe improved upon to revitalizethe squad.
After lacking a consistent of-fensive punch this season, nextyear a more relaxed yet deter-mined Camel team may return totheir prolific scoring exhibitionsof last year. If so, the future ofConnecticut College men's soc-cer looks bright, and the chancesof a championship team remainvery much alive.
Men's Squash TeamStarts Rookie Season
by Marc LaPlace.Sports Editor
The Connecticut CollegeMen's Squash Team is beginn-ing its first season as a varsityteam, and after two weeks ofpractice, the ball seems to bebouncing the team's way.
The team presently has 14 to16 active players, who work outfour days a week in preparationfor their seven-match season,which gets under wayanDecember 5th at Wesleyan.
According to Coach GeneGallagher, the players on theteam have really taken mattersinto their own hands.
"I've been very impressed byhow hard they are working,"said Gallagher, who considershimself more the team generalmanager than coach. "I don'twant to take up that much roomsince there's not a whole lot 1can teach a lot of these players.The inspiration really has tocome from the p la y e'r sthemselves. "
Gallagher points to team cap-tains Jon Nichols ('89) andCharlie Forbes ('90) as beingkeys to the team's successfulstart.
"They [Nichols and ForbesJhave been great," Gallaghersaid. "They are doing a lot ofon-eourt work with the otherplayers; they've been veryhelpful. "
According to Gallagher, eachof the players on the squad hassome sort of squash experience,whether in high school or

As the snows begin to arrive atConnecticut College, the mindsof sports fans must tum awayfrom the lingering fall athletics,like soccer, and focus attentionon one of the Camels wintermainstays: men's basketball.The Camels are returning 12
varsity letter winners (fourstarters) and a bench as deep asCONN has ever seen., Withsuch an experienced core ofreturning players, one could notfault Coach Martin Schoepfer ifhe decided to rest on last year's14-9 record-except if you wereSchoepfer himself."This is a brand new year and
in basketball you can't just pickup from where you left off,"said. Schoepfer, who has seenboth the ups and downs ofCONN basketball."Philosophically, sure, there
are many, similarities with lastyear's team, but we can't ignorethe changes around us, "Schoepfer said. "The otherteams aren't necessarily thesame and that has to be taken in-to consideration. "Still, team continuity has to be
a focal point with the Camels.Iunior guard Frank Lombardoputs it this way:"Experience. You just know
what guys are thinking and plan-ning to do on the court."Junior center Dave Blair puts
much more emphasis on theteam unit."We're a team," Blair said.
Men.'s basketball coach, Martin Schoepfer
"Most of the 12 returningplayers have been together forthree years. That unity is one ofthe points in our favor. "Blair will certainlybe in much
of the spotlight this season, aswill other center candidatesMarty Ioyce ('88), Sasha Lazor('88), and Ed Hoffman ('89). .With the loss of Chris Philippi tograduation, the center spot willbe scrutinized until the first fewgames have been locked away.Blair offers a soft offensive
touch, and although he led theCamels in blocked shots lastyear (26), he is somewhat of aquestion mark on the defensiveboards (3.1 per game).Lazor and Ioyce can provide
much of the defensive and" re-bounding aspects, but Lazor iserratic offensively; and Joyce, asenior, has yet to play in a varsi-ty game.Hoffman will probably spend
more time at power forwardwhere he is more effective forthe Camels.The four returning starters

Women's Basketball Wants toRegain NIAC Title this Year
by Gillian McGoeyand Rea SpadaciniThe Colege Voice
This year's Connecticut Col-lege Women's Basketball Teamis a blend of the old and the new,as six returning players combinewith seven freshmen to make upthe 1987-88 edition of the squad.Coach Bill Lessig and his staff
are determined to bring thisyear's team to regain the NIACtitle which escaped them lastseason in a one-point semifinalloss to Amherst College.This year's team captains are
Beth McKiernan ('88) and Wen-dy Merk ('89). McKiernan, asolid performer with extensiveplaying experience, and Merk,the team's leading rebounderlast season, are both looking for-ward to a winning season."We are a really enthusiastic
group, working at a very inten-sive pace to succeed in all possi-ble areas," Merk said. "Retur-ning players, as well asfreshmen are geared up to regainthe NIAC title. "The tearn suffered a substan-
tial loss with the graduation of-their two All-American guards,Lynne Quintal and TraceyFiner. CONN still managed tohold on to Quintal's skill andknowledge of the game by nam-ing her assistant coach thisseason, along with Iill Zawacki('86), another former All-American,To make up for their great loss
in the backcourt, CONN has ac-quired the talent of two outstan-ding freshmen guards, A. 1.Deroo and Lynn Elliot.Despite her recent knee cap
injury, junior guard Kathy Mat-thews will return to an active
role on the squad afterChristmas break.Fellow junior sharpshooting
guard Betsy MacDonald will bean essential asset in thebackcourt, as will freshmenLaurie Clark.The frontcourt will be led by
Merk and McKiernan, alongwith sophomore center PamMitchell, a strong scorer and theteam's top shot blocker lastseason,Lessig clearly stated the
team's main goal."We practice to win," Lessig
said. "We want to regain theNIAC title. "The team's home opener will
be on Tuesday, December 1stagainst Nichols, and the squad islooking forward to strong fansupport in the coming season."We won't let our fans
down;" Merk said,
necessarily rest on the seniorforward's shoulders."We don't need Scott to score
20 or 25 points a game,"Schoepfer said. "With Derric[Small '90] and Frank [Lombar-do] and the rest of our squad, wecan have seven or eight playersin double digits. I'd rather haveit that way. "CONN's guard spots have
been a source of wealth forSchoepfer over the past fewyears."Each combination [of
guards] brings out a differentpersonality of our team,"Schoepfer said. "This enablesus to put the pressure on theother team to match us and the
differing styles of play."Senior Dave Schner provides ~
the Camels with a controlled ~type offense. Although never •scoring in great spurts, Schner's ~passing and defensive skills dmore than make up for this, ~Schner holds the Camels recordfor assists in a game.Lombardo is one of CONN's
three-point threats, who can killopponents from the outside ifleft alone.Small, a sophomore, has cer-
.l! tainly endeared himself with] Camel fans with his colorful"<1: style. A deft shot with quickt hands, Small should see plenty~ of action again this year,.~ The return of junior Pat~ Violette from injury certainly•g deepens the backcourt, as well.a The frontcourt spots are also.... solid, Sawyer should continue~ to post 20 point games and can;
at times, rebound from theshooting slot. Last year, Sawyerwas pulling down 10 a gamebefore he went down with a footinjury.6'7" Hoffinan should start at
the power forward spot. Hoff-"man is a steady rebounder and aconsistent shooter.Junior Kevin Bellivance and
Lazor will bolster the Camels atforward, as well.The Camels' future certainly
looks bright, but Schoepferrefuses to speculate."We are working from
ground zero," Schoepfer said."If all the roles are played to ex-pected levels, we will win."Sounds simple, coach.

Paul Clauss, and co-captain RobLowney, all of whom are study-ing away this semester, are threevery fine swimmers," barrabeesaid. "They will add a lot ofdepth to the team when theyreturn since all three were

and junior English exchange stu-dent Phil Mudge are also ex-pected to swim well for theCamels, although Mudgereturns to England at the end ofthe semester.Sophomores Devon Coughlan
and lain Anderson are good betsto score points in the breaststroke and sprint freestyle,respectively,Larrabee is especially excited
about freshman standout MikeMahoney. ,"Mike can swim anything,"

Roberts said. "I think it's just amatter of being a little moreprepared for the playoffs. They(the players) think we can win itall."The Camels will use a criss-
crossing offense this year, whichaccording to Roberts, is sure toproduce many scoring oppor-tunities."The .firepower is there,"
Roberts said. "I like to forcethe issue. I like to create ourown opportunities with a lot ofmotion."
Roberts feels that CONN'sscoring should be well spreadout this season.
"This year's offense shouldbe .more balanced," Robertssaid. ., Last year. other teamsconcentrated on Mike Moccia's('89) line. [This year], I thinkwe've spread the firepoweraround a little."Key returning players for the
Camels include tri-captains Ran-dy Berner ('88), Jim Brown('89), and Dave Talanian ('88).Brown will be shifted to the
backline this season to help im-.prove CONN's defense, whileadding scoring punch.
Sharing time in the goal willbe juniors Lou Schwing andMarco Mestanas, both ex-perienced players.Moccia, leading point-getter
for the team last season, willagain be an important factor inthe team offense.
Brown is impressed with theteam's progress in the first fewweeks of practice.
"The lines were put together acouple of weeks ago," Brownsaid. "They are starting tocome together. We are beginn-ing to work more as a cohesiveunit. "
A long road lies ahead for theCamels as they face an eventougher schedule than they didlast year. CONN will play agood number of tough games onthe road this year, but accordingto Roberts, "we have to dealwith the adversity. "CONN's season opener is
