Pike, Campus Safety Respond Decisively To Sexual Assault

BY JAY AKASIE & JANE REYNOLDS

When Dean of Students David Winer and Director of Campus Safety BrianKelly decided to monitor the overwhelming number of partygoers on Vemon St. onSaturday, Sept. 7, they ended up handling more than just a large crowd.

At approximately 10:30 p.m. at the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity at 94 Vemon St.,a Boston man was escorted from the house after attempting to force himself on aTrinity woman.

"People at Pike were excellent in their response to [the assault]," said DeanWiner. "They would not abide this type of behavior and quite literally threw the guyout."

The woman informed a Pike brother of the alleged perpetrator's behavior. Thebrother in turn notified one of the five party monitors on duty that evening. Pikemonitor Edward Kissell '93 approached the assailant, Paul Patten, 19, of Boston, whois not a student at Trinity College.

"I grabbed his hand and picked him up off the couch," said Mr. Kissell, "andCraig [Woerz '93] grabbed him when I did this. Craig bear-hugged him, and we bothescorted him out."

The two Pike brothers handed him over to Campus Safety officers who weremonitoring the Vernon St. parties. Director of Campus Safety Brian Kelly was onVerrton St. at the time, and brought Mr. Patten to CSmpus Safety headquarters inMather Hall.

Gallows Hill Ready To Serve Trinity• BY JANE REYNOLDS

News Editor

After students recover from buy-ing their textbooks, a visitto the recentlyopened Gallows Hill Bookstore mayprove to be a pleasant surprise. . Thestore, run by the College Division ofBarnes and Noble, is located in the newlyrefurbished Hallden, which formerlyhoused the computer center.

There are 220 Barnes and Noblebookstores in the company's College Di-vision. Each one has some sort of trade[non-textbook] department. The GallowsHill Bookstore "is a completely uniquestore for Barnes and Noble" because it isthe "only trade bookstore separate fromthe academic bookstore," explainedDavid Givens, manager of the store.Barnes and Noble also took over the book-store in Mather on April 1 of this year,SVftr-

when Follett's Inc. left.' Hallden's conversion to the book-

store was started in June. Mr. Givensnoted that "all the fixtures were customdesigned to achieve the effect of brows-ing in a library." Mr. Givens and otherBarnes and Noble representativesworked closely with the Bookstore Com-mittee and, the designer in order to createa look which "everyone could agree on,"said Mr. Givens.

Associate Academic Dean J. Ro-nald Spencer, Dean of Students DavidWiner, Professor of Economics DianeZannoni, Director of Mather Hall AnneGushee, Business Manager and BudgetDirector Alan Sauer, and Director of Fa-cilities Planning and Management JohnWoolley are among those who partici-pated in the Bookstore Committee.

work, but what can we do to make itwork," added Mr. Givens. Other Barnesand Noble-run college bookstores withtrade selections comparable to Trinity'sare Columbia University, Johns Hopkins,Northeastern and Texas A&M.

As far as the store's identity as anestablishment that is open to the largerHartford community or primarily a Trin-ity facility, Mr. Givens said that "to stayopen to serve the Trinity community, wehave to make money." He added, how-ever, that "we have an idea in mind ofwhat kind of store we want to be" andthey are "not going to compromise thatto make money."

"Our primary commitment is tobe a part of the Trinity community; toserve the students and the faculty both inthe selection of books and whatever ser-vices we can provide/'said Mr. Givens.

The selection of books and choiceof sections is determined by the storeinanager, and Mr. Givens noted that asmanager, he has "a huge amount of au-timomy" in stocking the store. There arecurrently about 6,500 titles being sold,and Mr. Givens plans to expand thestore's title base to 12-15,000.

One service that Mr. Givens hopesto provide for students and faculty is aplace for the display of their art. There isartspace on the walls which the manage-ment would like to turn into space forstudent, faculty, and also local artists.Mr. Givens noted that there is a "possi-bility for students and faculty to sell workhere" and that the Gallows Hill Book-store "would not be taking a cominis-sion."

OPINIONSilence Is Safe No Longer

he episodes of last weekend on Vernon Street were veryordinary and extra-ordinary at the same time.As is common on weekends at our College, fraternity parties

had lured droves of students to the north end of campus. Theseparty-goers were enjoying themselves in standard fashion: dancing,drinking, and talking. The music was loud, the beer was cold, and thepatrons were sweaty.

An unfortunate addition to this list of givens is the harass-ment of women. Last Saturday night had that too. "The incidentinvolved a Trinity woman and a visiting non-Trinity male," as thestatement released September 9 by the brothers of Pi Kappa Alphatold us. Sadly, the incident was typical.

The response to the incident, thankfully, was anything buttypical. The woman reported the incident to a Pike brother, andconsequently, the accused was thrown out of the party. CampusSafety was quickly notified, and then so was Hartford Police. Twodays later, all students, faculty, and administrators were madeaware of the incident by the Pike statement and the campus wasabuzz with words condemning the alleged offender.

Praise has been duly extended to the brothers of Pi KappaAlpha fraternity and Campus Safety for their conscientious reac-tions. Far less attention has been given to the action taken by thewoman, which was equally laudable. Her decision to report the manled to a reaction that brought to life the credo of, "There's no safetyin silence." What they all did, however, should be routine.

In this case, it was easy for the brothers and Campus Safetyto be correct. The uncertain future of the Greeks here may have ledto a quicker reaction. What if the accused man1 had not been "avisiting non-Trinity male/' but instead a man who attends thiscollege? What if he had been a brother of Pi Kappa Alpha, the hostfraternity? Would reaction have been the same?

One may argue: "We don't know, it has never happenedbefore/' Exactly. The incident "has happened before — countlesstimes, but the response has not.

The precedent has now been set, and we should expect noless of a hoopla if another woman is sexually harassed this Saturdaynight. And the next Saturday night And the next.

Can we let ourselves get carried away with it every singletime a woman is sexually harassed?-We can and we must until thereno longer is the need.

The Office of Residential LifeRequests Student UnderstandingTo the Editor:

lam writing on behalf of the Office ofResidential Life in response to part ofwhat was said in one of last week's edito-rials. My reasons for writing are twofold:To express my concern and sympathyfor the unfortunate student that movedin on that infamous Sunday, and to in-form the community as a whole of theworkings of the Office of Residential Life.

The first issue, student discomfort, isone which our office took measures toalleviate. Since students had to move inon Sunday, our office remained openthroughout the weekend to help incom-ing students with any problems like theones your unfortunate example experi-enced. We regret that that informationwas not passed on; the office had a furni-ture crew working that Sunday to ensurethat any such needs would be met. Werealize the problem goes much furtherthan just not having a bed, but we couldhave helped a little on that apparentlyhellish day. No singular office can beheld accountable for all the "faults" ofthe "moving in process", but we wouldlike to express our hope that all is wellnow, and extend to you any help which

we can provide.The second issue, some general office

information, will help clarify to the en-tire community how to go about alleviat-ing some of these beginning-of-the-yearproblems. Early in the summer, all re-turning students received a letter thatoffered them the option of having furni-ture removed from their room ahead oftime. Many people did not take advan-tage of this option, and are requestingthat these things to be done now whichcould have been done over the summer(before our busiest time of the year). Thisbrings us to where we are now: In atremendous backlog of furniture re-quests. Our "Furniture Engineers" (STU-DENT WORKERS) are working daily,night, and sometimes even weekends tomeet the public's requests, and hope tobe caught up with them very shortly. Inthe meantime, we ask for your, indul-gence and your understanding, and wefully express our concern in making lifeeasier for you. " 1,

Concern Over Coverage'sRelevancy Expressed By SIN ATo the Editor:

What is so news worthy for The Trin-ity Tripod about a Summit Street inci-dent that happened months ago and in-volved no Trinity College person? Whywas it the lead story on September 10?

If you are going to report neighbor-hood news, I look forward to future sto-ries on Hartford's successful summerrecreation programs, the "I Have ADream" program, little league baseball

played behind the racks, neighborhoodhousing rehabilitation efforts, the open-ing of a new market on Park Street, toname just a few of the good things goingon around Trinity.

Sincerely,Ivan A. BackerPresident and Director,Southside InstitutionsNeighborhood Alliance

The Tripod aims to accurately portray the surrounding neighborhood, as is relevant tothe Trinity College Community. The incident of July 27 involved Campus Safety forces. Mr.Backer's consideration is appreciated and we look forward to further coverage of theneighborhood in the future.

Did Marriot have influence in the scheduling of courses? Those lines runningout the doors of Mather around 12:35 p.m. are the best advertisement for the transfer planthis college has ever seen. How about a second card-checker at each door?

As for the transfer plan, $3.75 is not enough for a nutritious dinner.

Several alternative social options were successful this weekend. No less thanfour dating games provided laughs and dates for many entertainment-seeking souls.Approximately thirty people watched Creep Show and The Omen Friday night and abouttwice that many danced the night away in The Cave on Saturday. Congratulations are inorder for the RA Program and the Student Life Resource Center. The fun continues thisSaturday with "Western Night," featuring square dancing on The Cave Patio. ,

A Tripod editor called Campus Pizza Sunday night at 1:55 a.m., crossing herfingers that they would still be taking orders, for she knew the pizzeria closes at 2:00a.m. Her fears were put to rest. "Is it too late to order a pizza?" she asked. "It's never toolate in America," he replied.

continued from page 1"There was decisive action taken

by both the victim and the monitors thatevening," said Mr. Kelly.

The Hartford Police Departmentwas notified of the incident, and took Mr.Patten into custody. He was subsequentlycharged with fourth-degree sexual as-sault.

Dean Winer reiterated that he was"pleased with responses of people atPikeand the quick response from CampusSafety in lending support and assistanceto the woman."

Pi Kappa Alpha President Nicho-las Maglio '92 also recognized the swiftand decisive actions of the party moni-tors in expelling the assailant from theparty.

"We handled the incident very

well," said Mr. Maglio, "The majority ofpeople didn't even know it happened."

"When someone starts acting likethat in our house," he continued, "wehave no choice but to eject him."

The Pike president said that a fewbrothers close to the incident acted ontheir own in drafting the letter whichwas sent to all students the followingMonday morning. According to the fra-ternity, the victim was consulted beforethe letter was mailed.

A representative of Pike had con-tacted The Tripod in an attempt to run theletter in last week's issue, but the dead-line had already passed.

Relating to the subject of sexualassault in general, Mr. Maglio said "in-stead of hiding it, let's talk about it - andtalk about our response in the future."

Gallows Hill Bookstorecontinued from page 1

Bookstore will sell that author's books.In addition, support materials such asbooks, tapes, or CD's will be sold inconjunction with performances at Aus-tin Arts Center. Other possibilities in-clude time for students and faculty to doreadings, perhaps even after store hours.The store is also planning special dis-plays for Banned Books Week, Sept. 29-Oct.5.

The store will order books free ofcharge, and if a book is out of print, thecustomer will be put in contact with some-one who can run an out-of-print search.The Gallows Hill Bookstore hopes to help

the bookstore in Mather by taking oversome of their special order responsibili-ties.

The store is currently open from11a.m. to 8p.m. Monday through Fri-day, and from 12p.m. to 5p.m, on Satur-day and Sunday. There is a possibilitythat the hours will be extended.

A contest was held over the sum-mer to find a name for the store. Mat-thew Burfeind '92 and Assistant Profes-sor of Political Science and Public PolicyJohn Gillroyboth suggested the nameGallows Hill. The name refers to the factthat the City of Hartford's gallows wereformerly located on the site of TrinityCollege. ®

Make Time For ConnPIRGTo the Editor.

Are you annoyed by the peoplewho stand next to the dining hall doorand try to get you to sign up for every-thing? Are you irritated by the peoplewho work the long walk and shovepamphlets and other literature in yourface? Do you ignore the long messagesleft on your machine by public interestgroups. A definite "YES" to any ofthese questions is typical. The humanrace is a self- interest oriented society.

One particular public interestgroup named ConnPIRG is especiallypersistent about using all the tacticsmentioned above to get Trinity stu-dents' attention. If you haven't seen orheard anything about ConnPIRG overthe last few weeks, you must be anabsolute hermit.

ConnPIRG—Connecticut PublicInterest Research Group, is a studentfounded environmental and consumergroup. ConnPIRG is run entirely bystudent volunteers who donate theirtime and effort to improve the quality

of life for everyone. Over the last fif-teen years, ConnPIRG has played.acrucial role in passing laws which helpto eliminate putrefying toxics, smellysewage, and corrosive acids, whichare rapidly accumulating in our bod-ies and on our only livable planet.

Sound urgent? Of course it does!What could possibly be more impor-tant? The fate of the entire human racedepends on the state of our environ-ment.

So then, why do you feel so in-vaded and annoyed when ConnPIRGasks for your attention? Perhaps youjust didn't realize that environmentalcare is your obligation as a humanbeing. Don't wait for ConnPIRG tofind you and ask you to better yourown quality of life. Go find them, andvolunteer your efforts. If you don'thave time—make time. Your exist-ence is guaranteed only by your con-cerns ancl actions.

Trinity's Urban RealityOpinion Piece By Margaret Pry or

As I jogged on thesidewalk aroundTrinity's campus, I realized that I wasrunning on a dividing line between twoworlds. Both are inhabited by activepeople and social interactions, yet nei-ther intermingled or even wanted tointermingle with each other. On oneside, I was surrounded by low incomehousing, multiple package stores,people hanging out in the streets, andfast-moving cars that vibrated withoutrageously loud music. On the oppo-site side, I could hear chimes from theChapel, watch athletes practice onfreshly-cut green fields, and see stu-dents headed towards the library tostudy. I found itstrange and even fright-ening that two environments which soclosely bordered each other, were socompletely different.

Living on the Trinity campus meansliving in almost complete isola tion fromthe rest of the world. It scares me that Jcould easily lose touch with the urbanenvironment around me if it were not

for the frequent sirens fromambulences that go racing down BroadStreet or the heinous, unsanitary smellof garbage in the air.

As-1 kept running I saw a series ofcars withbroken windshields, garbageon the lawns, and faces that stared atme without any sigh of a smile or asimple nod of acknowledgement. Wasthis the result of our capitalistic soci-ety? Was it because of the economicstate of this region that I happened tobe learning calculus and NathanielHawthorne while these faces I passedwere simply learning how to surviveand cope with the problems of thisinner city area?

Upon finishing my jog, I ran be-tween the tall, black iron gates ontothe freshly-cut fields, only to be sepa-rated from art urban area with medi-cal, environment, economic and so-cial problems that far surpass, I be-lieve, anything I could experiencewhile living on the Trinity campus.

NEWSJohnson To Debut NewMusic At Trinity Sept 21

BYJAYAKASIEManaging Editor

Trinity's Assistant Professor ofMusic Douglas Johnson has organizedmany concerts in the Austin Arts Center,and none has ever taken five years toplan. Until now.

The College's annual FacultyShowcase Series will feature ProfessorJohnson's own compositions, includingone world premiere, the culminationthree years of composing and orchestrat-

The concert will debut his"Dance Suite from 'The Birthday of theInfata/" a ballet in one act based on astory by English author and playwrightOscar Wilde. The piece, begun inl986,took Dr. Johnson two years to composeand another to orchestrate.

In preparation for his concert,the composer spent forty hours per weekfor six weeks this past summer copyingthe first scene for the members of theHartfordSymphony Orchestra, who willperform the piece.

"It's very old-fashioned," saidProfessor Johnson/referring to the factthat he copied the music by hand.

"I prefer to do it that way/' hesaid. "You always make mistakes-, so asyou go over them you edit them out.Every mistake costs precious time in re-hearsal."

And time is definitely of theessence. The Hartford Symphony play-

. ___ , . „ _ ,„ —

ers is only scheduled for two three-hourrehearsals before the concert date.

The concert will be ratherunique as the program includes chambermusic as well as an orchestral piece."Neruda Fragments," a chamber piecefor contralto, violin, bassoon, and harp-sichord, is a setting of a poem of theChilean poet Pablo Neruda.

In the initial stages of planningtheconcert, Professor Johnson conceiveda program of four pieces, rather than justthe present two. In discussing his planswith Fine Arts Professor MichaelMahoney, however, his colleague sug-gested that when a concert of this naturefeatures so many new works, theconcertgoer can be overwhelmed.

"So, Michael and I brainstormedit out/' said Dr. Johnson. "I cut.down thenumber of pieces so I could talk at lengthabout the remaining two."

He explained that he does notplan to lecture the audience in musictheory as much as to discuss the "aes-thetic and psychological aspects" of whyhe wrote the pieces.

"I want to discuss them," hesaid "in the context of my life and theinteractions of the literary artworks bywhich I was inspired."

And Professor Johnson plans todo more than just lecture. He will con-duct the "Dance Suite" and play the vio-lin in "Neruda Fragments." The concertis being billed by the Austin Arts Centeras "a chance to look over the composer'sshoulder, as well as to hearJusjnusicT

The Office of Campus Safetyis offering free parking stickers tostudents who agree to park only inthe Vernon/Broad lot. A specialsticker would be issued making itclear that the car could only beparked in that lot. Mr. Kelly notedthat if the students make the agree-ment, "we will be more stringenton those who try to park in otherlots."

If you were one of the many Trin-ity students who walked over to VernonSt. on Saturday, September 7, and youthought you saw the Dean of Studentsand the Director of Campus Safety, youwere not imagining it. They were there.

"The reason we were there," saidDean Winer, "was that so many peoplewere in a small area of Vernon St. Wewere afraid someone was going to be hitby a car."

The Dean and the Campus SafetyDirector were joined by Assistant SafetyDirectors Erin Glson and Charles Morris,who were on Vemon St. as early as 10;00p.m. that evening.

The first weekend of the schoolyear traditionally draws large numbersof students in search of fun, and simulta-neous free parties at Pike and Psi-U onlyintensified the crowd factor;

According to Dean Winer, by 10:30p.m. a Pike brother said that the frater-nity felt overwhelmed, and he asked for

assistance of the Dean and CampusSafety.

Dean Winer proceeded to talk torepresentatives of Psi-U, where thecrowds were considerably smaller.

After being in contact with bothfraternity houses, Dean Winer, with theassistance of Campus Safety, decided tocut the parties short. These actions Werebased ontheagreementreachedbetweenthe Dean and the two fraternities.

"[The decision was reached] in avery cooperative way," said Dean Winer.

Representatives of the two frater-nitiesagreed. "We had a lot more people.than we expected," said Rich Corcorar'93, social co-chairman of Psi-U.

"We understood their concern!and were willing to comply with shutting down early," he said.

Pike President Nicholas Magli<'92 said he appreciated the assistance othe Dean as well. "They were very helpful and cooperative," he said.

In the end, Dean Winer stood b;the decision. "I would rather forfeitgood par ty to save a student's existence,he said.®

NEWSI.D. Cards To Be Utilized In Many New Ways

D BY JIM BAKE.News Writer

New identification cards have beenissued to students as part of a new planto put meal plans, library checkouts, andentranceintobuildingsontoasinglecard.

The major difference between the newcards, and those of previous years, is thatthe magnetic strips are included in the idwhen it is laminated, rather than beingstuck on separately.

According to April Brown, the Assis-tant Director of Mather Hall, the mag-netic strips on the back of the ID's con-tain the name, and social security num-ber of the cardholder. Using the card, astudent can gain access to the new Math-ematics, Computer, & Engineering Cen-

ter, parts of the Ferris athletic center, anda limitednumberof rooms in theHalldenbuilding.

When a card is swiped through oneof the readers,the social security numberis checked, and then the information isfed into a central computer that creates alog of when'each building was entered,and by who. This in theory would assistcampus security if there was a theft in abuilding using this system.

According to Brown, the cards maystart to replace locks on campus. Brownsaid that, "In the future... maybe eventhe residence halls will be card acces-sible... [although] it could be years fromnow." It may not happen soon becauseof the cost of the card readers, and thewiring that is required to operate them.

gered by a long line to get their ID cardson Sunday, September 1- Last spring,students were told that if they had theirpictures taken, they would be able toavoid the line at the beginning of thisyear. The cards were supposed to beprocessed during the summer. This wasnot the case. Each card needed to besigned by the holder, before being lami-nated, so students had to sign their card,and then wait while it was processed.Also, the process took longer for peoplewho registered late, as well as for gradu-ate, and IDP students, who had to beentered into the computer database.

"The idea was to have everything puttogether, so all the students would haveto do is sign the cards [in the fall]. Theproblem that we found out later is thatthe magnetic strips can't be encoded be-

fore being laminated," said Brown.Brown added that, "If people thought

it was inconvenient to wait in line, it wasmuch more taking for our staff who hadto process each one of the cards." She

, also said "The ID is intended to last 4years. In the future, students will have toget a validation sticker, which may bemailed."

The cost of replacing a lost card is$25, and Brown stresses to take good careof it. She said that the high cost is in-tended as a deterrent, as the actual cost tomake the card is approximately three orfour dollars. If a student's card is dam-aged beyond repair, but is returned whenissued a new one, the charge is only fivedollars. Bending and folding the cardcan prevent the computer from readingit properly. $>

Trinity Alumni/ae LeadershipConference Held Over Weekend• BYRICKZEDNIK

Editor-in-Chief

There was a crowd of adults wan-dering around campus this past week-end whose cloudy-eyed expressionsbetrayed their internal nostalgia. Thesealumni/ae were drawn back to theiralma mater for the Volunteer Leader-ship Conference.

The conference is a time when thosealumni/ae who are most active in fund-raising and recruitment efforts as-semble. This contractsto reunion which ranbe attended by anvTrinity graduate.

The conferencebegan with a lun-cheon on Friday a ndconsisted of .variousskills workshops andstate-of-the-collegi.'reports. There was anawards dinner on ] n-day night, arid theprogram concludedwith a luncheon onSaturday.

The alumni, aevolunteers who at-tended were housedin the J,P. MorganHotel in downtownHartford, courtesy ofthe College.

The conference focused on three vi-tal aspects of the mission of volunteers.Those in attendence were updated onTrinity as it exists in September 1991through a student panel. They werealso given a tour of the new Math, Com-puting, and Engineering Center, andthey received a detailed description ofthe arts at Trinity.

NEWSSecurity Innovation: TheMountain Bike Patrol• BY AMANDA GORDON

News Writer

Taking campus safety measuresto a new level, Director of Campus SafetyBrian Kelly said that his staff has tempo-rarily added a bicycle patrol to theCollege's security program.

According to Mr. Kelly, OfficerDavid Kerrigan began making his uniquerounds of the campus on Wednesday,September 11, after planning over thesummer. Officer Kerrigan volunteeredfor the position during its formative stagethis summer.

"The idea is to increase the visibil-ity and attitude of friendliness alreadypresent on the part of all the officers,"said Mr. Kelly. He affirmed that flexibil-ity is one of the primary goals of thebicycle officer program.

"If we can prevent crimes and cre-ate good will, we would like to expandthe program," said Mr. Kelly. The pro-

gram will be evaluated in three months,when it will be either expanded or dis-carded. This depends on its measuredeffectiveness and visibility compared tocommon car patrols.

One drawback to the program isthatMr. Kerrigan has beenremoved fromsecurity car duty, potentially limitingthe visibility and accessibility of the carpatrol. This issue will be evaluated bythe end of the term.

Mr. Kelly noted that the programhas already received many positive com-ments from members of the Trinity com-munity.

"Basically, [Officer Kerrigan] ismore effective, because he can go placeswhere security cars can't," commentedAimee Anctil '94.

"Officer Kerrigan can go slowerand see things in more detail," said Eliza-beth Lombardi '94. "It is cool that Trinityis trying new, more effective securitymethods.^

The Freshman ExperienceElton I Jones Courtyard A Hub Of Activity

d BY AMY FISHERNezus Writer

When the members of the freshmen class arrived at Trinity on August 29,the residents of Elton and Jones Hall were greeted by a banner hanging in thecourtyard located between the two dorms. The banner welcomed them to the'Freshman Experience' which is taking place in both dorms this year.

Elton was chosen over Jarvis as the second freshmen experience dorm fora variety of reasons. "Elton, being structually Jones-like, is apt to allow us theopportunity to mimic more closely our positive Jones experience," explainedMs. Kristina Dow, Director of the Office of Residential Life. "In addition, theproximity of Elton and Jones will allow us to establish a true hub of activity forour freshman Experience — a mini-union for freshmen."

Enthusiasm for the freshman dorm programs is shared by the residentialassistants who live in the dorms. Chris Morea, an RA in Jones, lived in afreshman dorm last year and is very excited to be a part of the program this year."I think the Freshman Experience builds a community of the class which thencreates class spirit." He likes the idea of the two dorms being located closetogether. 'The courtyard has become a place to meet and exchange ideas."

This is exactly what some freshmen think too. One freshman, a Jonesresident said "it's a rockin' place. There^s always something happening." Evenfor those freshmen not housed in the freshmen dorms, the courtyard has becomea place to congregate.

Most of the freshmen living the freshman experience have positivefeelings concerning the program. Kate O'SuIlivan '95, who lives in Jones, likesit because "everyone is in the same boat and you can bond with your fellowclassmates," Laura Parnum '95 is happy to be living there because "in thebeginning, upperclassmen can be intimidating."

Though the freshman Experience in Jones and Elton have only just begunMs. Dow believes that the two dorms will remain as freshmen dorms in

years to come. But for now the freshmen seem to be enjoying the situation. AsSarah Griffith '95 explained, "we will be with these people for four years so if sgood to get to know them right now." &

WORLD AND NATIONRegionalism:

The Future of U.S.Global Relations

• BY JAY WISEWorld & Nation Writer

With what appear to be the lastvestiges of hard line communism in theSoviet Union fading fast, we may at lastsound the death knell for the Cold War.The United States — indeed, the world— finds itself on the threshold of anamazing era, at a fork in the road ofhistory.

Although the well worn phrase"new world order" has been batteredand bruised by anti-Bush factionsthroughout the political spectrum, noother term so fully expresses the possi-bilities this age holds.

It was the single, dominant eventof the past year, the Gulf War, that pro-vided a good picture of the astoundingchanges that have come about in interna-tional politics.

For the first time, a crisis was fullyresolved under the aegis of the UnitedNations, without direct confrontationbetween the United States and SovietUnion. For the first time, a major powerasked for United Nations clearance totake a military action. These events canonly strengthen the position of the UnitedNations as an arbiter of internationaldispute.

Until the Persian Gulf War, Israelhad been the United States' only firm allyin the Middle East. With the Soviet gov-ernment no longer capable of providingmilitary arid, economic aid, however,Middle Eastern nations used the PersianGulf War as a chance to strengthen ties tothe United States and diminish Arab -Israeli rancor.

Taking advantage of this state ofaffairs/the United States has finally beenable to bring the various leaders of thetroubled region to the peace table, a stepthat no one would have guessed wouldbe possible a year ago.

Two other aspects of this unfold-ing era are an evolving world cultureand a growing atmosphere of regional-ism.

The world is coming to recognizecertain values as universal - democracyand basic human rights, among others.The recent revolutions in Eastern Europeand the Soviet Union would seem toillustrate this, as would trends in thethird world.

Even as doomsday prophets (mostof them bored political science profes-sors) have predicted tremendous upcom-ing conflict between first and Third Worldnations, there are several signs that theideological agenda of the Third World,once so antithetical to U.S. policy (vis a visgroups such as the New InternationalEconomic Order), is no longer as op-posed to that of the United States. Whileeconomic inequality between the north-ern and southern hemispheres remains alarge problem, there has been a visibleshift throughout Third World nationstowards democratic governments andcapitalist (or mixed) economies. Theseare developments that will encouragethe United States to aid Third Worldnations.

Finally, some gloomier seers haveremarked that the end of the cold warwill bring unrestrained chaos, the theorybeing that in the cold war, there was onlyone path across which war could breakout. "

Without any such arrangement,they predict, the countries of Europe arejust as likely to start interacting with oneanother in the same manner that gave theregion several major wars, from about1648 to 1945, and including WWI andWWII. These predictions, however, over-look the fact that Europe is well on theway to become a politically and eco-nomically unified region, a super-state.The importance of the individual nation- state in a United States of Europe will beanalogous to the significance of a cityinside a nation state. The trend towardregionalism is worldwide, although Eu-rope is farther ahead. The United Stateshas passed a free trade agreement withCanada, and is seriously reviewing onewith Mexico. And Middle-Eastern na-tions are also contemplating such a union.

^. The growing regionalism, the bur-geoning strength of the United Nations,the budding worldwide culture, all chal-lenge long held suppose»&4fuths in thefields of political science and interna-tional relations. By limitng aid to Israel,by reconciling itself to third world na-tions, by welcoming the European Com-munity, and by strengthening the role ofthe United Nations, the United Stateswill remain a dominant and forceful ac-tor on the world stage. ®

Beware: CommunismIsn't Dead Yet

• B Y ELILAKEWorld & Nation Writer

As students living in this day andage, we are all witnesses to history. TheSoviet Union is finally crumbling.Granted, it has been crumbling for a fewyears now, butwiththe recently declaredindependence of many of its memberrepublics, this could be conceived as thefinal blow for communism. Althoughmuch of the media is interpreting this asan ideological victory for the UnitedStates, it must be pointed out that thereare still quite a few communists left. Theworld is not one great big free market/where American values like economicinequality, and class struggle reign free.There are still many unenlightenedpeople in this world who still follow theways of old Karl and Vladimir. The

Chinese government, Billy Bragg andFidel Castro to. name a few.

I wonder if most Americans real-ize that we have quite a history of social-ism and communism in this country,dating as far back as the middle of thenineteenth century. Essentially, untilMcCarthyism of the 1950s, communismand socialism were kind of cool in thiscountry. Many institutions in our coun-try such as unions, Medicare and anti-trust act$/for examples, owe an ideologi-cal debt to communism and socialism. Infact, like most modern Western nations,we are fai* from from posessing a totalfree market economy.

ENEE/WOURAs you may (or may not) have

noticed, my weekly column now hasa name. After much debate and con-sultation with close advisors, I havedecided to call this space Endeavour.This name is appropriate for a fewreasons. First, I like the sport of sail-ing and the J-Boat Endeavour was myfavorite of its kind. Second, the titlerefers to what this section is all about:trying. This kind of commentary isan attempt to comprehend the sig-nificance of the events happeningaround us. We may not always suc-ceed in understanding but we mustgive it our best shot. There is a pro-fessor in our English Departmentwho is fond of reminding his stu-dents of the root meaning of the word"essay". It comes from the Frenchverb, essayer, which means "to try".This is important to any writer. Aslong as we accept that we may notsucceed on our first attempt, it is a loteasier to try again if we fail. With thatin mind, I invite you to read on as Iendeavour to make sense of the cur-rent political party system inAmerica.

As I poured over this week'speriodicals, I came to the conclusionthat the 1992 Presidential election isOn everyone's mind. ;

Fourteen months from now,the American electorate will go tothe polls to choose, among otherthings, a President. Usually the partychallenging the incumbent has ahealthy stable-full of candididateswell before the famous New Hamp-shire primary. That date is drawingnear and no one. of any stature in theDemocratic party has come forwardto run. Many of the strongest (a rela-tive term) candidates have alreadydeclared that they will not run.Would-be Democratic voters arestarting to wonder what's going onhere. After all, an election with onlyone candidate isn't much fun.

Right now George Bush seemsunbeatable. If the Democrats all be-lieve that, it will certainly becometrue and they will fall victim of theirown self-fulfilling prophecy. But inreality, George Bush is beatable; how-ever, not by the Democratic party.

The Democratic party is dy-ing. Its ailment is a disease that at-tacks the head first and works itsway down. Sure, they can still win amajority in the Congress because theyretain some local power, but eventhat is eroding. In a national electionfor the Presidency it becomes too

obvious what a shambles the Demo-cratic platform has become. They'velost their sense of purpose and direc-tion. Their solutions are old and inef-fective and fail to face problems whichcry out to be addressed: the decay ofour cities, the growing gap betweenpoor and rich, and the state of publiceducation, to name just a few. Inshort, the Democrats lack a coherent,practical approach to the governingof America. Is it too late? Can thepatient be saved? Perhaps, but it maybe more effective to look for a succes-sor: a new liberal party.

If Bush is beatable but ,not bythe Democrats, then by whom? Theanswer lies in the creation of a newparty. The end of the 19th centuryaccompanied the rise of Populism inAmerica. The end of the 20th centurymay do the same. The foundationsalready exist. No where can they beseen more clearly than in our'ownstate of Connecticut. !•.

This summer, Jesse Jackson leda march from Bridgeport to Hartfordto call attention to the plight of ournation's cities. This is a man Whounderstands where attention needsto be focused. Jackson also seems tounderstand that his Democratic partyprobably isn't going to give him muchhelp in his search for the answers toour urban problems/Similarly, thefoundations of a new Populism wereevidentinlastweek'sHariford Demo-cratic primary. Hartford Mayor Car-rie Saxon Perry led the successfulouster of some old-line Democrats inCity Hall. The change blew throughthe city like a fresh breeze from Mos-cow.

Similar disgust and frustrationwith the old guard will hopefullyspur those in other cities to make achange in their government. Maybethis is the beginning of a trend. I hopeso.

Before Populism can have achance, one thing must happen: thepeople must start to vote. At present,the electorate is not representative ofthe entire people by virtue of the factthatthe majority of the populace doesnot vote. Perhaps these silent citi-zens do not feel their vote matters orthey do not see a difference betweencandidates. This can change. An en-ervated new party could tap this seg-ment of the population, which haslong lain dormant, and convince thepeople that there is a difference be-tween parties and that the choice istheirs: the status quo or improve-ment. ;

out Karl Marx, and the world is now freebecause of it. I'm not saying that weshouldn't applaud the recent events inthe Soviet Union, but I am saying thatthere are many dangers in interpretingthese events simple mindedly; After all,how much effect has the United Stateshad in the last month oh the change in theSoviet Union? It seems like we are takingcredit for something in which we reallydidn't take that much of a part. On topof all of this, how much of this really hasto do with capitalism vs. communism?Was the Soviet Union really ever that

Marxist to begin with? For years, theSoviet Union claimed to be cornmunist,but if a fundamental tenant of commu-nism is equal economic and politicalpar-tidpation among all people> then Stalin'sSoviet Union was about as communist asNebraska. The point that I'm raising isthat weMve confused the ideology withthe failed application of it. In doing this,we make the false claim that our ideol-ogy as well as our application is infal-lible. The United States is just as guilty asthe Soviet Union in botched application

of ideology. Take, for example,our policy of containment in Vietnam,McCarthyism, or the denial of civil rightsin our recent history. These things arehardly def endable in the name of democ-racy, just as Stalin's Purges, and thesuppression of free speech are hardlydefendable in the name of communism.

I believe the best way to interpretrecent events is to objectively look atcapitalism and communism, and see howwe, as a nation, can learn from both, andthen try our best to achieve pragmaticapplications of these ideologies. If weinterpret these recent events as justifica-tion for the status quo, we run the risk ofcreating obstacles tomuchneeded changein our own country.

Finally, regardless one's opinionof the ideology, the Cold War was foughtfor many years on foreign soils, where agreat many non-Americans and non-So-viets died in the name of these ideolo-gies. I question any claim at historicalprogress, because I fail to see much of adifference between killing for Christ andkilling for democracy. &

Aninitial poll of the Filipino Senate indi-cated that a new lease agreement, ham-mered out over the first six months ofthis year, is destined to be rejected. Howwill this vote change the role the UnitedStates plays in the Pacific Ocean?

Since the U.S. first took controlof these islands from Spain in 1898, thePhilippines have been of great strategicvalue to the American armed forces. Af-ter World War II, the United States estab-lished a strong presence in the Philip-pines in the form of two air and navalfacilities. These bases were created tocounter the threat of Soviet expansion-ism in the Pacific. Not only did the Ameri-cans benefit by having bases in that partof the world, but the Philippines alsogained from this relationship, The Fili-pino government began leasing the basesto the United States in exchange for rentalfees. In 1991, the U.S. will pay the Aquinogovernment 481 million dollars for theuse of Clark Air Base and Subic BayNaval Base. This money provides thePhilippines with much needed economicaid in the form of hard currency.

Over time, the American navycame to depend on Subic Bay for morethan its strategic location. One of theother important functions this port servesis to provide the navy with a safe placefor shore leave without having to sailanother six thousand miles to the U.S.The second important factor is the largenumber of workers readily available for

repair work on naval vessels. The lowcost of labor in the Philippines leads tolower costs for ship repair than would beencountered in the United States.

For five years now, the Filipinogovernment has expressed a desire forthe United States to vacate the huge mili-tary installations on the island of Luzon.Initially, the U.S. Defense Departmentwas reluctant to do so; however, the erup-tion of Mount Pinatubo earlier this yearchanged things. The estimates for thecost of the clean-up of Clark were higherthan the costs to relocate the units fromthat base. Clark is now scheduled to closeon September 16,1992, when the entireoperation will shift to Guam andSingapore, This solves part of the Ameri-can presence problem but leaves the di-lemma of what to do about Subic Bay.

In the plan I mentioned above,the U.S. promises to pay the Philippinesan initial 550 million dollars, an annualrent of 203 million dollars for ten years,and all costs associated with the clean-upof Clark Air Base. However, the FilipinoSenate now wants more money and isthreatening to kill the deal.

If the plan is rejected, PresidentCorazon Aquino stands to lose a great,deal without a U.S. presence in the Phil-ippines. In 1989, an attempted coup ofher presidency by Leftists was foiled bythe intervention of the American air force.Without this U.S. role, she would havesurely been crushed and will probablybe overthrown in any future attempt.

The main island of Luzon standsto fall into economic disaster. The greater

,part of that island's, economy isdepen-dent bri the large U.S. presence. ManyFilipinos make a living by running small

businesses that cater to American ser-vicemen on leave or as clerks or weldersat the military bases. All of these peoplewill lose their jobs with the exit of theUnited States military.

Who will gain from this shift inlocation? Several other islands in the re-gion will benefit from the move. Guam, asmall American territory in the westernPacific that already has several bases willget half of both the air force and navybusiness. Singapore, which has an Ameri-can air base, will get the rest of the airforce. Hawaii's Pearl Harbor will get theremainder of the navy. The economies ofthese areas will soar as new jobs arecreated for welders and clerks on thebases and local businesses receive aninflux of money from military spending.

Today, the United States is inthe painful process of dismantling itsmilitary-industrial complex. The U.S.,itself addicted to this drug, infected thePhilippines. We must now rid the Philip-pines of this American-imposed prob-lem by reigning in this dependence ondefense. The only way to do this is bycutting spending and closing bases. Byclosing Clark and Subic Bay, the U.S.would rid the Philippines of this diseasewhile helping itself.

If the Philippines wish the UnitedStates to leave, I say, "Lefs go!" Thoughthe Philippines will suffer economicallyin the short term, they will benefit byfinally gaining their true independencefrom a century of American colonialism.The U.S. only stands to gain from thisdeparture by redirecting much of theremaining military business to Ameri-can citizens in American territory, \Vhere

FEATURESYou Know That Thing You Shouldn't Step On?• BY CLIFF FULLER

Features Writer

Before you read another syllable,you must allow me to be your Bard.Of history, lore, fiction, and Enlight-enment. You must allow me to beyour tour guide, walking backwardsdown the Long Walk with you in mywake, gesturing at architecture muchlike a stewardess as I point out to youthe emergency exits to the front,middle, and rear of the campus. Youmust allow me to take you by thehand and lead you to Northam, ifyou don't mind the newsprint smudg-ing your fingers. Finally, if you de-cide to press on regardless, you mustlisten to me - as I explain you to theplaque which you are now gazingupon, in front of Northam, on theLong Walk.

Trinity College, 1918. Trinity'sPresident was Flavel Sweeten Luther.The previous year the United Statesdeclared war on Germany, and thecampus was immersed in the notionsand emotions of wartime; sentimentswith striking relevance to Trinity'satmosphere a mere eight months ago.

President Luther noted that the stu-dents "were thinking and talking ofvery little except the war." On June18, the day before the school's Com-mencement, an "Open Air PatrioticService" was held at the height ofthe community's consciousness. Ex-President of the United StatesTheodore Roosevelt, a close friendof President Luther, delivered an in-spiring address and was awardedwith an honorary degree. The infa-mous plaque on the Long Walk com-memorates this occasion. Accord-ing to Classics Professor John Wil-liams, the Latin phrase embossedupon the plaque translates as, "Lethim not boast when girded for war,as much as when girded for peace."

Since then, it has acquired quitea diverse personality. The plaque isa wily veteran, older than me, olderthan four of me's. It is tolerant,smelling more sneakers, bare feetand Birkenstocks than Al Bundy. Ithas seen up countless women'sskirts, the rascal, yet it is a hopeless,sighing romantic for it has never seenthe sun rise. It is a victim of biketreads, smears of gum, and the ele-

Sex,Ehugs,andSesameStreet A Love StoryQ BY CHRISTOPHERGENEMOREA

Features Writer

This may come as a shock to theTrinity community but itis my responsi-bility, as a faithful servant to the Tripod,to report that Sesame Street is inhabitedby some of the worst scum our greatcountry has ever produced. I know somepeople may shun me for the accusationsI will now make but hear me out beforeyou judge. Remember, what happenedin Sesame Street could happen in yourown community.

When I say Big Bird, many peopleimagine the cute, overgrown yellow birdwho naively lives his little life on thestreets of fine Sesame. Well, rememberthat friend he has, the elephant-likeSnuffaluffagus. I always thought it oddthat no one else could see this creature. Ithink I may know why. Does the termpipe-dream ring a bell to anyone? Inno-cent, sweet Big Bird probably only seeshis friend when he has done some prettyheavy partying. I have a friend whooften tastes from the fruit of the vine andthe weed of the lawn. He claims he oftensees God while he is in his state of bliss soI guess seeing a giant, hairy elephantwant-to-be is not that strange. Still, whatkind of image is that to present to kids.The only way to make it clearer that BigBird is some drugged-out 1960's hippeewould be to let him wear tie-dye shirtsand listen to the Doors during the show.Those bugged-out eyes he has is a prettygood indication that the grass in his nestis not the same kind found in YankeeStadium.

Another gripe I have with the showis Oscar the Grouch. If this is not a covertplan by parents to make their childrenhave pleasant demeanors, I don't knowwhat is. Basically, they are telling chil-dren that if you are a grouch, you willwind up slumming in the gutter, livingin a *!©#$% garbage can. The funnything is that nobody thinks its odd forthis beast to be living in a garbage can.

People on the street treat Oscar as if heis living the high life. I remember on oneof the shows a child said, "He's got thestars to sleep under and the sun to warmhim." True, but he's also got the rain towet him and the winos to beat the livinghell out of him. There is a whole genera-tion of us who think living in a sewer isreal cool. Well, maybe there js somemerit to it. It prepares Trinity studentsto live in North Campus.

~ The people on the show are great,too. I bet you never noticed that thereare only six adults on the entire show.Sesame Street is a pretty large street, if Iremember correctly there are about sixbuildings on the block. I'm not claimingto be a mathematical genius but thatworks out to be one building for everyadult on the show. Not a bad deal forpeople who beg every ten minutes or sofor donations to the Childrens Televi-sion Workshop. I'm surprised JimBakker and the PTL haven't tried tomuscle in on Sesame's action. Thesepeople live like kings while the lousypuppets work for minimum wage andlive in the basement of Mr. Hooper'sstore. By the way, don't think Mr.Hooper is a kindly old man. He has theonly store on the entire#©!%$*% street.I hear the old geezer charges twentybucks for a crummy loaf of bread so youknow he's not waiting for his socialsecurity check every month.

There are a lot of other complaintsI could mention but there are just toomany. I don't even have time to com-ment on the suspect living arrangementsof Bert and Ernie. Do these bums work?How do they afford the rent on theirapartment? These are some of the ques-tions that keep me up at night. Well,maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit. Theshow does have some merit. For in-stance, that cute, blue, little-girl puppetwith the blond hair. If anyone knowshow I can get in touch^with her, tell me.I think I am in love. $

If you don't know what this is, then takements. Endless Xeroxes advertisingfrat parties are taped to its foreheadlike Post-It Notes, without the ex-press written consent of either FlavelSweeten Luther or Teddy Roosevelt.Inebriates then return on dark andbeery nights from these parties, anddeciding to paint the plaque withsome gastric pastels of their own.Superstitious students avoid theplaque like the plague, as they hop-scotch over or around it, reassuring

themselves that, yes, they will gradu-ate. Through the eyes of the stu-dents it has heard and seen the his-tory (and gossip) of the campus, andof the world secondhand, as if read-ing from a used newspaper. All ofthis characterization from a slab ofconcrete on the Long Walk. Perhapsthe next time you walk by and y/puhave a minute or two, stop and sayhello to Teddy or Flavel.

FEATURESAlpha Delta Phi: Achievement, Service, & HeritageU BY RAN BARTON, III

Features Editor

Since receiving its charter in 1877,the Phi Kappa chapter of the Alpha DeltaPhi fraternity has maintained a strongpresence on the Trinity campus.Founded here in 1835 as the Phi Kappaliterary society, the current 59 members(47brothers/12 pledges) continue to liveup to their academic heritage. At a meet-ing of Alpha Delta Phi chapters in Se-attle this summer, Phi Kappa receivedfour literary awards to acknowledgetheir academic achievements.

At the same Seattle conference,Phi Kappa was also named the modelchapter for the Alpha Delta Phi Philan-thropy Program. Such an award reflectsthe chapter's stated "emphasis on itscommunity service programs," and theirefforts within the community are bothextensive and diverse.

On several occasions this past year,more than twenty brothers volunteeredtheir time and energy to Habitat for Hu-manity, assisting this local group inbuilding low-income housing. Theyopened up their house at 122 VernonStreet this past Halloween to host a party

for local children, complete with gamesand apple bobbing. Phi Kappa also sentworkers to the St. Elizabeth House soupkitchen, where they built and stockedfood shelves, as well as helping to pre-pare and serve the food. Last fall anumber of brothers participated in theSt. Peter's Church tutoring program.Once a week each brother would workfor an hour and a half with the same twostudents, providing a stable, positiveacademic influence for the children in-volved.

During last year's Gulf War, Al-pha Delta Phi, in cooperation with WestHartford Cares, hosted a very successfulletter writing campaign for the soldiersstationed in the Persian Gulf. More re-cently/the brothers volunteered theirtime at a Greenpeace benefit concert,where they worked as security person-nel and traffic directors. They alsoorganised the second year of theMcDpnough Softball League, which en-courages local grade school children toplay in two games a week for a five weekseason. Back at Trinity, Phi Kappa spon-sored a booth at the Trinity CommunityOutreach Fair last Spring Weekend!

its surroundings assures active alumniinvolvement, and Phi Kappa's alumniare no exception. Strong alumni sup-port for the chapter's activities is re-turned by the personal ties the activebrotherhood has with those that wentbefore them. Phi Kappa was recentlyrecognised as having the finest newslet-ter of any Alpha Delta Phi chapter, serv-ing as a vital link between the alumni,other chapters, and Phi Kappa.

"We've been working hard to im-prove relations within the community,to open up communications so that wecan find a way to live comfortably as anintegral part of Trinity," explains AlphaDelta Phi president Jack H. Kirkpatrick,Jr. '92.

"We're in a rapidly changing soci-ety, and the Phi Kappa chapter has con-tinued to evolve and thrive through thesechanges, but I do not foresee anything

positive resulting from the forced co-education of all fraternities and sorori-ties on campus. The students have theright to choose their own set of environ-ments outside of the classroom, and theGreek system has obviously been one ofthese environments for over a century atTrinity. Presently, the students have avariety of options ranging from all-malefraternities and all-female sororities tocoeducational fraternities. It would be agrave mistake to narrow the selectionopen to the student body.

"We ask those students, faculty,and trustee members who are not affili-ated with a fraternity or sorority to fi-nally take a look beyonf the social ste-reotypes and realise that Brotherhood isthe embodiment of a far greater value.We wholeheartedly feel that future gen-erations should not be denied this expe-rience." $

ARTSHey!! Get Off Spike Lee's Back

• BYADAMCAHILLArts Writer

On July 18 Jungle Fever, written anddirected by Spike Lee, will arrive for afour day stint at Trinity College'sCinestudio. With it will undoubtedly ar-rive discussion and debate concerningSpike Lee's controversial filmmaking androle as a commentator on social issues inAmerica. Criticism of Spike Lee's viewson racial and gender will be heard, andstandards will be applied to Lee's filmswhich are rarely considered when com-menting on other major motion pictures.

Many, including Lillian Robinson, whospoke before Trinity College on Septem-ber 11, argue that the role of Angela inJungle Fever is underdeveloped. Ms.

Robinson complained that Spike Lee's"camera gave us multiple, erroneouspoints of view of Angela's character",and that Angela is never given the op-portunity to express her feelings for Flip-per. The implication of these argumentsis that Lee portrays the women in hismovies asbeing dominated by their malecounterparts.

However, there is more to Jungle Feverthan is seen on screen. Lee has stated ininterviews that there were tensions onthe set which arose from AnnabellaSciorra's unwillingness to play the roleof Angela as it was written. Ms. Sciorrafelt that her character truly cared forFlipper, which would haye transformed-Jungle Fever into one more film abouttwo people from opposite sides of the

tracks falling in love. Unfortunately,Jungle Fever is not about love. Perhaps ifMs. Sciorra portrayed the role of Angelacorrectly, there would be no confusion inrespect to the character's feelings towardFlipper.

Spike Lee made it quite clear in hispromotion otjungle Fever that the movie'sfocus was on a specific type of interracialromance, one that was initiated as a re-sult of curiosity and sexual myths. Flip-per is drawn to Angela because ofsociety's idealization of the pure whitewoman, and she to him to explore theidea that the black man is sexually supe-rior. Critics claim that/wng/e Fever has anegative slant on interracial couples, andit does indeed, but only on this particularvariety. Jungle Fever is a film about twopeople coming together for the wrongreasons. Spike Lee never generalized in-terracial relationships or discredited theirability to flourish, and he should cer-tainly not be accused of doing so.

Spike Lee did not create racism. Still,many viewers seem shocked by Lee'sdepiction of racial tensions, such as thescene in Do The Right Thing in whichmembers of various backgrounds hurlslurs at each other. Racism is a reality inAmerica, one would have to be incred-ibly naive to believe otherwise. SpikeLee's films do not promote racism andstereotypes, they simply alert the publicto their existence. There are not manyfilmmakers brave enough to take on thistask.

Ms. Robinson stated in her lecturethat the poster advertisement for Jungle

Fever is not an illustration of interracialsolidarity. Jungle Fever was inspired byand dedicated to a black man murderedin Bensonhurst because he made the mis-take of visiting a white woman. Ms. Rob-inson is correct, Jungle Fever is not a filmabout interracial solidarity, nor should itbe.

Spike Lee does not have a responsibil-ity to make movies about love, or posi-tive relationships, or harmony amongstpeople of all races. Hatred, violence, andmisguided relationships occur all aroundus. Spike Lee has the right, and the talent,to bring these issues to the public with hismovies. Those who criticize and attackSpike Lee's films should direct their en-ergy toward the source of his material,our society.^ ft* WRTC 89.3 FM "

ARTSStudent Bands Alive And Rocking At Trinity

D BY PAT WESTArts Writer

With the creation of the Music Dorm(no longer referred to as Boardwalk) thisyear, the usually trouble-plagued Trin-ity music scene can finally get rolling. Inthe past, bands were basically not al-lowed to play anywhere on campus,partly due to a lack of space and partlydue to the school's inability to solve theproblem. Last year, bands were threat-ened with being kicked out of housing,so bands had to go out on their own toplay. After setting the Trinity record forthe most noise complaints in ten minutes(23), Tricky Dick got fed up, and alongwith Smackhead (who are always fedup), they set out to find somewhere toplay. After tons of red tape and evenmore "I'm just doing my job" excuses,Smackhead singerPat West went to Presi-dent Gerety and he allowed bands to useHallden (which was vacant at the time).After that, several bands played at SpringWeekend, and most people had a goodtime.

This year, mainly because of the ini-tiative of R.A. Ahin Savara, Music Dormshould be rocking. Here is the latestrundown on Trinity bands, and if youare in a band or know of one that isn'tmentioned here, don't worry, becausethe Music Dorm is more than willing tohelp out.

Red House was the firstband I talkedto and they are the first band on campus

. who have actually practiced (from whatI know). Red House is an all-sophomoreband who knows more songs than I'd.care to list. Ranging from classic rock(Rolling Stones-type) to modern rock (TheSmiths-type), Red House can play justabout any kind of music that isn't overlyoutrageous or too slow. Comprised ofJames Kessler on guitar, Scott Russell ondrums, Eric Wallen handling singing andguitar work, Chris Sidor on bass, andlocal Scott Metcalf on keyboards, RedHouse should have no trouble puttingout what Trinity kids want to hear. Theybought a $1,400 P.A. this summer andmost of the band is using new, expensiveequipment to get the best sound pos-sible. Last year, Red House played theFreshmen picnic and Spring Weekend,and this year hope to play a lot of fratsand make a little money. Since they alllive together in the Music Dorm andsome went to the same high school, theyshould be pretty tight, or as Scott says"we all live together, so we drink to-gether and play together." For now, RedHouse is sticking to covers, but should beplaying originals soon, and as Scott putsit "I want us and all of the audiencedripping with sweat." Sounds kind ofkinky. If you want to contact Red house,

call ext 2811.Like Red House, Tricky Dick played

out a few times last year, but hope to stepit up this year. With Eric DeCavaignacand Scott McNeill playing "terrifyingguitarwork",ChrisOstersmging,AlDayon bass, and a drummer to be namedlater (actually, Tricky Dick> like manyothers on campus, is looking for a drum-mer, so if you're interested, don't be shy).The Tricky Dicksters want to have somegood fun this year while also playing themusicthey like arid earning a little money."Give us some space and bucks, andwe'll play," says Scott. For now, they'resticking to covers of bands such as Zep-pelin, Black Crowes, Guns and Roses,Stones, Jane's Addiction, and others, but

want to try some originals and get intosome local clubs (even though Hartfordlacks any realplace to play withoutcharg-ing $3.00 for a beer). They're psyched toplay, but are quick to point out that thereis still a problem with band space oncampus (which is totally true). ContactTricky Dick at ext. 3053.

Smackhead ready and roaring

Smackhead should have its unre-lenting music and antics going anytimenow. Armed with an arsenal full of fire-works, smoke bombs, knives, bats, bloodand jokes, Smackhead intends to keeppeople interested, whether they likeSmack music or not. Having had prac-ticed a total of five times for two showslast year, the Smack boys really want tostep up their musical performance, be-cause a lot of people think they can't play,which isn't true at all. After last yearsSpring Weekend fiasco ("we suck," saidAl Day the bassist), many an hour hasbeen spent practicing over the summerand Smackhead is set to rock. With PatWest singing, Andy Wang playing gui-tar, and hopefully freshman Jake Gillison drums and Kevin Christian on gui-tar, Smackhead should have no troublesplaying the few covers they do play(Rollinds Band, Mucky Pup, Verbal As-sault, John Travolta) along with severaloriginals. In addition, Smackhead willuse Mike Aneiro and Adam Cahill dur-ing at least two rap songs and possiblymore. Armed with a $600 P.A. and a"go for it" attitude, Smackhead intendsto branch out down to New Haven toplay, but promises to play Trinity "any-where, anytime, and we don't need anymoney." Call Smackhead at ext, 2832for information.

New bands in formation

Now there a few bands (and I'msure many others I just don't knowabout) that have yet to actually namethemselves and are just getting going.A band that will play "good chop tunes,ya' know" such as some Police, theWho and others is forming. With RichRice ("Rock") on drums (so far, themost wanted musician in school), HenryGordinier (ex-Smackhead who jumpedaround with tatoos and a jock last yearat Spring Weekend) on guitar, PatrickLittle on bass, and outsider Ed Crowldoing vocals, they intend "just to playmusic for now", but would like to playfrats for a little money, but they will notalter they're interests to satisfy anyone.Call Henry at ext. 2605 for upcomingnews.

Another band involving HenryGordinier will be an acoustic band withemphasis on strong singing. Accompa-nying Henry will be Sarah Polsonetti,Katie McWane, and guitar player BenButler. I was only able to talk to Henrya little bit about this band, but he saidthey are just starting and they are "do-ing it for the music" and nothing else.He said they wouldn't play frat-rockand will play some Cure, 10,000 Mani-

. acs, and some Drivin' and Cryin', so if snice to see a band that will offer somealternatives for people at Trinity whoget bored with the radio rock style.They are interested in possibly playingthe Music Dorm basement, but for now

•, they just wantto play. Again, callHenryat ext. 2605.

An all-senior band which atone time called themselves Toe Jam(mmm, I bet that tastes good) is hopingto get rolling soon and seem pretty

excited with the creation of the MusicDorm as a place to play. Aaron Grazadopointed out that with the frats beingallowed only a certain number of par-ties, it may be tough for bands such as histo play, but alternatives to frats shouldarise fairly soon. With Aaron on guitarwill be Wally Young on bass, StephenClark on guitar, Rhoades Alderson onthe mic, and Scott Hoerle on drums.They played only once at the Hall lastyear and the year before played here andthere, but I think that there should be agood audience at Trinity for thier musicwhich is influenced by undergroundstyle and they may play some VelvetUnderground and Firehose (notFirehouse, that cheesy MTV metal band!).Contact Aaron at ext. 2627 or Walter atext. 3266 to see what they're up to.

Finally, and this is more speculationthan reality at this point, a rap band is inthe early stages of being formed by thetandem of Adam Murphy and EricHoltzman. They may be using GabeHandel for guitar, but beyond that it'spretty tough to say. I know that Adam

has about 7 songs worth of lyrics to dropon Trinity, but they are still looking forlive musicians to play with. It'd be greatto see thses guys work something out, soif you play an instrument, give Adam acall at ext. 2804.

The music scene should be prettyactive this year at Trinity and it involvesall students at Trinity, not just the bands.If you are at all interested in playing withor hiring (does not have to involvemoney) these bands, give them a call,they are really cool and should providesome hot music. If you want to play atthe Music Dorm or practice there, callAhin Savara, or if you can't get hold ofhim, call me. I'm more than willing tolend microphones and equipment if youwant. I talked to some Student Life work-ers and they may set lip a show in theCave soon. Rumor has it that some R. A.' sare trying to get some "Trinity un-plugged" thing for Parenf s Weekend,but we'll see. So keep your eyes out andyour ears tuned to Trinity bands, andsupport them as best you can. fjfy

SPORTSThe Heart And Soul of the 'Multi-Flex'

• BY CHRISTOPHER BROWNSports Information Director

On the eve of a record breakingseason, the Trinity College football teamwill count on senior quarterback JamesLane to direct the Bantams "multi-flex"offense. Head Coach Don Miller's squadshave recorded 11 consecutive winningseasons, dating back to 1980, which tiesthe record set by Dan Jessee's teams from1945-1956. If the Bantams are going tosurpass Jessee's streak, they will needanother sensational season from Lane.

Lane was the major reason whythe Bantams finished as the 28th scoringoffense in the country in 1990. In his firstseason as Trinity' s signal-caller, Lane notonly reached, but surpassed any expec-tations that were made of him.

Lane, who completed 105 of 184passes, threw for 1,368 yards and 12touchdowns en route to being named tothe New England Small College AthleticConference First All-Star Team. Laneenjoyed many fine afternoons in 1990including his strongest game against theBates Bobcats. Lane completed 21 of 28passes for 246 yards and four touchdowntosses which earned him a spot on theECAC Honor Roll.

What tends to get lost in all ofLane's impressive statistics is his cour-age and toughness. Lane, who is 5'10",175 pounds, was plagued the entire 1990season with a severe case of tendinitis inhis throwing shoulder.

"My injury definitely influencedhow deep I threw the ball last season,"says Lane. "I still called the deep routes,

Trinity QuarterBack James Lane

but I had to let it go a little bit sooner thanI would have liked to." Lane hopes thatthe surgery last December and his reha-bilitation program will allow him to tapinto all that power in his right shoulder.Ironically, Lane worked out during thesummer with a defensive end from rivalWilliams. Trinity battles Williams in thethird week of the season at Williamstownin a game that could decide the NESCACtitle.

In the 24-21 loss to Williams lastseason, Lane openly admits that he suf-fered his worst afternoon. "I learned abig lesson in that game," explains Lane."We got out of our game plan. I wastrying to go above and beyond instead ofjust taking what the Williams defensewas giving me,"

Maybe his own toughest critic,Lane has all the tools to finish his careerat Trinity with a flourish. "It is always

nice to have an experienced, senior quar-terback returning," says Coach Miller,"and James has matured as a quarter-backby playing through some extremelyphysical and high pressure situations."

One challenge facing Coach Millerand his All-NESCAC quarterback willbe finding new targets to hit this season.Trinity graduated All-NESC AC tight endRocco DeMaio and split end Mike Davis,

the ball to Bantam midfielders. CaptainJohn Twitchell '92 and sweeper backArmin Afsar-Keshmiri '94 effectivelyclosed up the middle of the defense,making most of the work for goalkeeperJeff Ward'92 routine.

The second half saw more ofthe same, with Trinity controlling thegame but unable to penetrate the CoastGuard defense. It seemed inevitable thatTrinity would eventually score and takethe lead, but in sports things do notalways go as they should. Fifteen min-utes into the second half, Coast Guardcaught the Bants napping in transitionand turned a quick offensive rush into a1-0 lead. Facing their first character testof the season, the Bants responded bypushing Mark Gruba '93, who hadsubbed in as a midfielder when Stolarzleft the game with an injury, up front inan effort to create more offense. DennisCormier '92 also entered the game, add-ing more fresh legs to the attack.

By taking chances to ignite theoffense, the Bants were forced to takesome chances defensively as well. Withthirteen minutes remaining, Coast Guardgot behind the Bantam defense andsweeper Afsar-Keshmiri grabbed theoffender in an attempt to prevent an-other goal. Unfortunately, the actionresulted jn Afsar-Keshmiri receiving ared card, ejecting him from the game. Italso gave Coast Guard a penalty kick,which they converted for a 2-0 advan-tage. The Bants, a man down, seemed tobe done.

They did not quit, however.Bouyedby cheers of encouragementfrom

the sizeable home crowd, the Bants con-tinued to press for a goal. Their game-long effort was finally rewarded as Evansrocketed in a loose ball with nine min-utes left to play. Despite their aggressiveplay and several more scoring chances,the Bants could not even the score. Forthe game Trinity outshot Coast Guardthirty-three to seven and had five morecomer kicks, but the most significantstatistic, goals, favored Coast Guard 2-1.

After the game Head CoachEddie Mighten stressed to the team thattheir effort was not a wasted one. De-spitethe loss, many positive things hap-pened on the field from which they canbuild on. Thatwillbethetaskoftheteamto regroup from the loss quickly, as theyface Nichols College today and MIT onSaturday. Both games are away. Theteam returns home the following Mon-day to play Quinnipiac at 3:00,

One week ago, the Bants playedAmherst College to a scoreless tie in theirfinal preseason tune-up. The game sawsteady defense by both clubs, and verylittle offense. It was an exhibition forBantam goalkeeper Ward, who madeseveral spectacular saves to keep thegame scoreless. Trinity used it'sballhandling skills to control the gamebut was unable to finish any scoring op-portunities. All twenty-five players onthe varsity roster played in the game,with the high level of play maintainedthroughout. It was a testimony to thedepth of the Trinity squad. The Bantswill get another shot at Amherst in No-vember, during the regular season, andlook forward to making the second meet-ing a victorious one. $

In Berkeley, California thereis a place called People's Park. It hasbeen a home to and a mecca for manyhomeless people. Since its birth dur-ing the turbulent sixties, it has held tofree concerts, free speech and manydemonstrations, some violent, somenon-violent.

However, despite its title,People's Park never truly belonged tothe 'people'. It belonged to the Uni-versity of California school system.When the people took over the park inthe sixties, the University allowedthem to stay there. Throughout thearea, when one mentioned People'sPark, visions of Berkeley as a havenfor homeless people appeared. Thissummer that all changed.

Beginning in early August,the University started to build sand-beach volleyball courts in what wasonce the center, and heart, of the park,Needless to say, many homelesspeople and homeless advocates didnot like the idea. There were demon-strations, violence, and looting ofneighborhood stores. Over one hun-dred police were called in to quell thedisturbance.

For two weeks, nightfallaround the Park brought out moretrouble. Rubber and plastic bulletswere fired at the crowd, a police offi-cer had her jaw broken by a brick,protestors charged police and policecharged protestors.

Eventually things settleddown and the two outdoor, sand vol-leyball courts were built— at a cost of$35,000 per night for over two weeksfor the police, plus the original con-

struction costs. They are undoubt-edly the most expensive volleyballcourts ever built.

The homeless were bootedout of the park, and a 10 P.M. curfewthat was never before enforced hasresulted in sweeps of the park kickingout anyone using the park as a home.

Now, it is true that the Uni-versity was well within its rights touse its own land to do with it what-ever it wanted. As for the police, theywere just doing what they could havebeen doing for years when they en-forced the curfew.

You may wonder why I'mtelling you this. Some of you maythink that its a disgrace that the Uni-versity and the police seemed to con-spire against the homeless. Some ofyou may think that its about timesomeone cleaned out the homeless.And others many not care one way oranother. Especially since all this hap-pened in California.

But here in Hartford thingsaren'tas pretty as life at Trinity wouldmake us believe. There are manydisadvantaged people living in thecommunity around us. And manycould use our help. Whether it bethrough Community Outreach, theNeighborhood Posse or whatever, tryand remember how lucky you are tobe where you are. And do somethingabout it.

I'm as big a sports fan asanybody, bigger than most. But Irealize that there is time for sportsand a time not for sports. I hope youdo too.

Withoutmissing a beat Coach Mo Pine put fresh-man halfback Lea Wedge in at Macaro'ssweeper position. Put in to a pressureposition Wedge responded with a verysolid performance. As fullback RristenDiesel '94 noted " We felt very com-fortable out on the field with Lea(Wedge) on the back line."

The game was quite a physicalcontest, as three Bantams were injuredenough to cause stoppages of play.Often times Trinity forwards weremanhandled by Bowdoin defenders,but Trinity's fullbacks played just astough a game. Benagh and MerrillRichardson ('95 and '92 respectively)inflicted punishment on their oppo-nents any time they crossed into Ban-tam territory.

Overall, the Bantam perfor-mance was an encouraging if not spec-tacular one. On a drier day the teamwill be able to put its speed to betteruse and have a more balanced offense.And if the defense can replicateSaturday's showing throughout theyear, the Bants will be tough to beat.

With a victory over a qualityopponent like Bowdoin the Bantamshave everv reason to expect a strongseason. $

Trinity Men's Soccer team began it's season last Safurday at home with a hard-fought 2-1 loss at the handsof the Coast Guard Academy.

Having beaten Coast Guard in close gameseach of the past three seasons/Trinity knew going intothe contest that it would be a tough contest. After aweek of sunshine, rain on Saturday morning offeredan obstacle for both teams to adjust to. Despite a slowstart, the Bants seemed to take control of the gameearly. Relying on their ability to control the ball,Trini tywas successful in creating several scoring opportuni-ties during the first half of play.

Midfielders Matt Peterson '93, Pat Bruno '95,Joe Cassarino '92, and Captain Matt Evans '92 con-trolled the pace of play with high percentage passesthat moved the team into the attacking third of thefield. Up front, forwards Ralph Fierro '92 and Peter iAlegi '92 repeatedly put the Coast Guard defense ontheir heels with their ballhandling skills. All of thispositive play resulted in eighteen first half shots forthe Bants; however none could find the back of the net.At halftime the score was still 0-0.

While the offense was struggling to get onthe Scoreboard, the defense was doing a solid job ofkeeping Coast Guard out of the Trinity goal. Outsidobacks Stanley Stolarz '94 and Captain David Wray '92shut down the Coast Guard wings. They were alsoinstrumental in starting the offense by distributing

Trinity's Women's Varsity Volley-ball Team had an outstanding seasonopener this past Saturday, when theybegan play against Clark University andWilliams College. The team won bothmatches and showed signs of a promis-ing season. Trinity defeated Williams 15-5, 13-15 and 15-7. Clark also fell to theBantams in three games,15-4,12-15 and15-0.

With all but one player from lastyear's team returning, and three new-comers, Ursula Garry '94, LeslieRemington '94 and Anouk Villegas '95,the volleyball team looks to be a dominat-ing force in its division.

Led by Co-captains Megan Spann'92 and Celeste Snow '92, the team madeTrinity history by defeating Williams forthe first time ever.

An excellent display of defensiveskill was shown in the back row byLynette Choy '93, Yvonne VanDerGroen'94 and Spann. Offensively, the teamwas strong at the net with outstandingperformances by Mary Birkel'93, KaliErwin'94andRemington, complementedby the exceptional setting of Snow andYa-Jen Chang '94. "

Strong serving performances camefrom Susan Olsen '93, Chang, TraceyTurner'94 and Villegas.

Although the team looked strongoverall, they still have many goals toreach in their upcoming matches. Theyshowed character by coming back in thethird games of both matches after disap-pointing second game losses.

And, with the coaching of StanOgrodnik and sophomore Adrian Alday,and the management of Ida Fall andfreshman Mike Eggert, the team is wellon its wav to a successful season. $

New England tournament, the Bantamswere looking to continue their successagainst Amherst Saturday. Coached byWendy Bartlett and led by co-captainsBo Hewitt '93 and Stephanie Voros '92,the tennis team was riding a five gamewinning streak from a year ago. But

Amherst proved themselves to be ex-tremely improved and dominant attimes.

Because it was raining, the matchwas played on the fast courts of thefieldhouse. The Bantams seemed to havethe advantage at doubles where the #1team of Hewitt and Anita Shin 94' racedout to a one set lead and held severalmatch points. They were eventually tolose 5-7, 7-6, 6-2 and afterword-Hewittwould attribute the loss to a breakdownin the tandem's mental toughness. TheSecond doubles squad of Voros andLaura Hubbard '93 gutted out a gruel-ing 6-4,3-6,3-6 win.

The duo of Julia Rising '95 andKate Whitmore '95 looked strong intheir debut forTrinity, but fell 7-5,6-3.

In singles matches, which wereplayed later that day, Amherst domi-nated the Trinity squad. All six matcheswere straight set victories for theAmherst Lord Jeffs, who showcasedtalented freshmen and an improved firstsingles player. Amhersf s superioritywas evidenced by the fact that the #5singles player Kristen Scholhamer '94,played Amherst's #2 player last year.

Coach Bartlett outlined the twomajor areas in which the Bantams wouldneed to work on to regain last yearsform. One was to cut down on the highamount of unenforced errors which oc-curred during the Amherst match. Theother was to increase their match tough-ness and cut down on mental errors. Ofcourse with more competition and ex-perience, the Bantams should accom-plish this and look to a brighter future."We have a lot of young talent andpotential- I'm confident we'll improveas the season moves along," observedBo Hewitt. $

' The Women's soccer team recorded a historic vic-tory Saturday, beating the Bowdoin Bears 3-0 in the rain.The win marks the first time in eleven years that theBantams have beaten Bowdoin in the regular season. Theonly other victory that the women have had againstBowdoin was in the 1989 ECAC finals.

Leading the way for the Bantams was All- Americacandidate Sally Thayer '92 who notched all three of theteam's goals within the first twenty-five minutes of thegame. The three goals put Thayer just two shy of KarenOrczyk's '83 Trinity record of thirty one scores in a career.Characteristically, Thayer was far more excited about theteam opening up with a victory than she was about herown fantastic performance. .

Thayer's first goal came on a penalty shot fiveminutes into the game. A well placed shot caught the

' 'Bowdoin goalkeeper, Caroline Blair-Smith, guessing thewrong way. In the eighteenth minute Thayer blasted a

ifree kick into the net from about thirty yards out. Tojcomplete her hat-trick, Thayer bounced a shot in over theprone body of the keeper off of a pass from Maureen[Strickland '92. Strickland had made a gutsy run downfield to set up Thayer's third goal.

With the goal scoring done the Bantams thenclamped on defensive pressure and held off the Bowdoinjteam. Goalkeeper Allison Bolk '93 recorded 11 saves enroute to notching her eighth career shut-out. After someearly problems handling the slippery ball, Bolk per-
