HARTFORP TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1966 Jacobs Scores Role of Religion In College Life President Jacobs, in the first Sunday Vespers sermon of the college year, cited the shift in responsibility from college Inducement to student initiative concerning Chapel attendance. Speaking before a gathering of approximately 60 Chapel-goers, Dr. Jacobs praised the abandon- ment of the Chapel attendance requirement in 1965 as an exten- sion of the tradition of student autonomy, which presently exists in the Senate and Medusa. In making Chapel attendance en- tirely voluntary, the President em- phasized, the College does not by any means regard religion with waning concern. Rather, the pres- ident affirmed, a true liberal arts education is seriously deficient if it does not encourage the prac- tice of religious devotion. Dr. Jacobs further enumerated the values of a voluntary ap- proach to religious observation. Most importantly, he said, religion Is not an isolated facet of life, but an essential and underlying factor. He observed that a person leading a religious life is certainly not excluded from the mainstream of secular activity but stands at the edge of contemporaneity. Citing historical precedents which reaffirm the continuing val- idity of religion, the President reminded the congregation that ev- *ery great civilization, save the communist oriented ones has been molded significantly by religious doctrines or .cults. Lastly, he pointed out, the quest for social justice is a direct outgrowth of religious conviction. Because religion is the founda- tion of all major systems of thought, Dr. Jacobs concluded, those who would claim superior maturity delude themselves about the role of religion as preserver of human dignity and as confidant for our Innermost fears about the future's uncertainty. Social, Course To Be Printed The Senate has completed the first of three stages in the publication of their two comprehensive social and curricular evaluations.

The symposium, being organized by a group of students with the support of the College, will con- sider questions concerning both human rights and the rapid growth of industrial automation. " Control Over Social Change in a Democracy" will seek to examine College Starts Pay Scale, Student's Skills Awarded Bursary employment jobs now have varying pay brackets in or- der to pay higher rates for special skills and experience, according to John F. Butler, director of placement. In addition, assistance from the federal government under the 1965 Higher Education Act is being used this year to increase the salaries of some students on fi- nancial aid. Formerly, all men on bursary employment received $1.25 an hour" regardless of their job. Now, a pay scale ranging from $1.00 up to $2.00 an hour will govern the salaries of "bursary boys." Many of the higher paying jobs, which involve greater experience and responsibility, are held by qualified financial aid students. The federal Work-Study Program set up under the Educational Op- portunities Act of 1964 was ex- panded last year to include any student on financial aid, not just those coming from poverty-strik- en backgrounds.

Similar queries arise concerning nearly every subdivision system of the student body used by the com- mittee. Dr. George Higglns, college counselor, has pointed out that publication of the present statis- tics without being interpreted or intercorrelated would be virtually meaningless and incomprehensible for public reading.

One of the provisions of the 1965 H.E.A. is the continuance of any present program which a col- lege may already have, and as Gummere pointed out, "Trinity has long had a fine bursary em- ployment service." The federal funds, therefore, will be used "above and beyond the pre- sent bursary system, primarily by raising the pay of qualified fi- nancial aid students, but also by involving more departments of the College in the bursary service and, hopefully, by offering more summer- employment opportuni- ties paid in part by federal funds. Gunmere emphasized that any student interested in learning more about the new system should contact the office of financial aid. The new pay scale begins at $1.00 for jobs like those of tending the game room and $1.10 for work in college offices. Experienced work- ers are given a pay boost after the first year, receiving $1.25 or $1.35 an hour. Jobs involving more experience and responsibility than most bursary employment bring the rates up as high as $1.50 or $1.75 an hour.

'Woman' Succeeds DespiteTedious Bedroom ScenesBefore the French New Wave in

cinema swelled into film history,Jean-Luc Godard had made hisname as one of the most interestingdirectors in Europe since WorldWar II.

His film, "A WOMAN IS A WO-MAN", shown by the College FilmSociety in the Goodwin Theaterat the week-end, was made in 1961.But its fresh arid frank approach tothe subject, and the use of untra-ditional lighting and camera tech-niques, have not dated at all in fiveyears.

Godard's team of actors, AnnaKarina, Jean-Paul Belmondo andJean-Claude Brialy are used bril-liantly in several scenes. But thescript, which tells of a woman ex-ploiting the eternal triangle to get

by CHRISTOPHER LEESpregnant, tends to become tediousin parts. The near-repetition of abedroom scene, in which Anna Ka-rina and Brian insult each otherwith book titles, finally fails tobe funny.

Most of the film, however, showsa charming wit that is lackingin most American movies. A Wo-man is a Woman has more thanGodard's usual number of 'in-jokes'. They are mainly dialoguereferences to other New Wavefilms like his own "BREATH-LESS", and Truffaut's "JULESAND JIM."The technique of spoofing other,

older movies with intrusive andunsyncronised music is one of thestriking things about this film.Raoul Coutard's dramatic use of

Russian ExhibitDepicts Variety# Soviet Life

by JAY NEWQUISTVladimir Shakhovski's exhibit,

currently on display in WeanLounge, is a pictorial representa-tion of many facets of Soviet cul-ture.

The master lensman's picturesrange from modern Russian citiesto shores of small fishing villagesto the snow-covered Urals,

Shakhovskl evolves a singletheme in his photographs: theachievements of any country orland are the work of its humaninhabitants. He portrays manyclasses, of people who, whenbrought together, comprise mod-ern Soviet society.Pictures of giant steamers load-

ing in a Russian port, studentsattending classes in a Sovietuniversity, and a rocket to the4jmoon all depict the achievementsof man in his fervent desire tomaster and capture the elementsaround him. Pictures of villag-ers fishing for their dally sub-sistence and people idling In thedoorway of a squalid housing areashow the yearning for a betterway of life.Shakhovski's ability to present

, society as a whole forces theobserver to make his own con-clusions concerning the issues thatconfront any country which israpidly moving toward more andmore advanced technological dis-coveries.Even amidst the modern develop-

ments of society, Shakhovski doesnot forget the human side of life,which for him, has played thegreatest part in the building ofthe modern age. . , :

ers at the expense of the lucklessmoviegoer.The plot is not exactly thin, just

tattered. The humor centersaround the theft of a supposedlypriceless statue which does noteven turn out to be a reasonablefacsimile. The gags (sight andotherwise) most of which shouldbe greeted with a reverence thatbefits their age, are equally price-less.For such an endeavor, the acting

was not too bad. Hugh Griffithdoes a good job as the sly artforger, and Eli Wallach does anequally good job as his million-aire victim. Charles Boyer issmooth as always in the part ofa suspicious art dealer, and O'-Toole and Hepburn, when they cankeep from fainting, are quite ac-ceptable as two lovers tangled upin the plot.Movies such as HOW TO STEAL

College's newest extracurricularprograms, will hold an organiza-tional meeting Thursday at 4 p.m.in the Arts Center.The seminar, a brainstorm of

Hartford Presents AmpleOpportunities for Culture

by ROBERT S. PRICE, JR.Freshmen, especially those from

large metropolises, believe that'Hartford is a "vast wasteland,"While Hartford can by no meanscompete with Boston or New York,

it offers the Interested studentample cultural opportunities.

For those students looking to-wards musical entertainment, theBushnell provides both quality andvariety. In addition to its regularprograms of rock and roll per-formers, the Bushnell featuresconcerts by the Hartford Sym-phony, operas, and soloists suchas Byron Janis, et. al.

Within walking distance of theCollege are three cinemas whichshow worthwhile movies. The bestproductions by far appear at theRivoll which has been vastly im-proved over the summer and nolonger uses its plywood screen.The Art Cinema shows, in addi-

tion to Its notorious "skin flics,"excellent art films and offersspecial student rates. Finally, theWebster Theatre presents manybetter Hollywood issues.

In the realm of theatre, the Hart-ford Stage Company and the MarkTwain Masquers are well known.There is also, however, the Col-lage of an Image Playhouse whichpresents modern theatre In anIntimate setting. The Image hasreasonable prices ($1.50) for stu-dents and after every performance,espresso is served and the audi-ence is given a chance to speakwith producer-director RobertLewis and the cast.In the graphic arts, the Wads-

worth Atheneum offers a regularprogram of featured exhibits inaddition to its regular collection.If you can't find anything to do

in Hartford, maybe it 's you, andnot Hartford, who is to blame.

Knight's "The Liveliest Art" asa text.At each seminar a film from

Eblnger's own library, from thoseof Lawrence R. Stlnes Jr., lec-turer in Spanish, and John A.Dando, associate professor of Eng-lish, or from the Museum of Mod-ern Art, will be shown and dis-cussed.This summer, Ebinger took a

film-making course at Ohio StateUniversity and, in fact, has beenmaking his own 8 mm films forfive years. He is now trying tofind a sponsor for interested stu-dents who, too, want to make theirown films.

A co-founder of the Film So-ciety with Bernett Robinson '68,Ebinger has starred the film sem-inar himself. Currently he is at-tempting to set up guest speakers,emphasizing that he will not bethe teacher. "It's a discussiongroup," he says.

"I think Trinity needs somethinglike this seminar, because the Col-lege lacks any specific course oractivity that covers the theater ormotion picture art."

He hopes to have a group of 10or 15 students in the seminarstudying the history of the motionpicture as an art medium.

"Today, more than ever before,many universities and colleges areexpanding their curricula to In-clude these fields, and," Ebingerconcluded, "I hope that this extra-curricular film seminar maysomeday become an accredteacourse of study here at Trinity.

Ziff Aims To Lure Students Doubt, MisapprehensionTo More Contact With Arts E x a m C h a nS e factionsTo make the Austin Arts Center

a lively place and to bring moreand more students into closercontact with the arts — this isthe aim of the newly appointedChairman of the Arts Depart-ment, Dr. Jerrold Ziff.Dr. Ziff, whose primary duty is

to oversee the faculty, staff andcurriculum at the College, willalso take an active part in helpingArts Center director George C.Nichols, III to plan events for thecenter.In an effort to attract students

to the center a substantial collec-tion of student art work will go onsale Thursday. Most of the paint-ings, drawings, etc. will be offer-ed at nominal prices, accordingto Dr. Ziff, and should make ap-propriate decorations for dormi-tory rooms. The proceeds fromthis sale, he added, will probablygo to the Goodwin Fellows.Along the lines of art sales, Dr.

Ziff outlined a plan for a profes-sional art dealer to come to theCollege sometime in November toshow a collection of prints andetchings. The sale will providean opportunity for students to buyreal works of art, not just re-productions, at prices below thosefound In dealers' shops in NewYork or other cities.Dr. Ziff said he hoped that the

sale would not only bring studentsinto intimate contact with worksof art, but would also help todispell some 6f the apprehensionswhich many people feel about visit-ing an art dealer.As for sponsoring other events

at the College, Dr. Ziff notedthat this is not a particularlywealthy institution and that art-istic talent can be very expen-sive. As a result, he said, agreat deal of financial supportfor the art center would have tocome from outside the College.Before the community will con-

tribute to the arts here, they havethe right, he added, to see thatwe have a going concern. For thisreason Dr. Ziff hopes that thecenter will be able to arrangea series of Sunday afternoon cham-

ber concerts of the highest qual-ity.Some of the groups mentioned

to take part in such a serieswere the Budapest String Quartetand the Amadeus String Quartet.The concerts would be given onSundays, the traditional time forchamber music concerts.Finally, one of the aims toward

which Dr. Ziff will strive -will beto increase the amount of per-sonal contact between art studentsat the College and practicing art-ists. Dr. Ziff hopes to arrangesmall lectures and luncheons forvisiting artists to explain theirworks and their views of contem-porary art.During the term the Austin Cen-

ter will present four exhibitionsof art works ranging from Japan-ese wood block prints to the "Con-necticut Artist Educator Invita-tional - 1966." In addition, theGoodwin Theatre will play hostto a lecture and two poetry read-ings by this year's resident poet,Lawrence Ferlinghetti, during theweek of October 10.

On October 19 there will be anopen dress rehearsal of the ori-ginal opera presented by the Cae-sare Barbiere Foundation for Ital-ian studies. Three regular per-formances of the opera will begiven from October 20 throughOctober 22.The Glee Club and band will

present their annual concert forparents on Saturday, October 29,in the Goodwin Theatre. The "Jes-ters" will perform their first playof the season, "Mother Courage,"on November 11, 12, and 13.The last scheduled events in the

center' for this term will be aperformance by the New Collegiate

Nave TheatreTo HighlightChapel Year"The Theatre of the Nave," an

outgrowth of last year's highlysuccessful series of Chapel dra-mas, will become a full part.ofthis year's Chapel program.The enthusiastic response to stu-

dent productions of "The Deathof Bessie Smith" and "Waitingfor Godot" prompted Alan Chap-lain Tull to sponsor this season'sslate which includes "A Man forAll Seasons" by Robert Bolt, acombined .staging of Sophocles'"Antigone" and the modern ver-sion by Jean Anouilh, and "TinyAlice" by Edward Albee '50.

William S. Bartman '68, the ini-tiator and prime force in theChapel drama movement, believesthat "if drama is to fulfill itsrole as one of the arts, it mustnot remain static." It is for thisreason, Bartman says, that theChapel dramatists have chosena series of plays which are "sig-nificant, vital, and stimulating.""A Man for All Seasons," to be

directed by Bartman, is consid-ered to be one of the master-pieces of European drama in the -last decade. Tryouts for the playare being held tonight at 7:15in the Nave of the Chapel. Tech-nicians, house and stage assist-ants are also being recruited.The presentation of the ancient

and modern versions of "Antigone"is planned as a unique theatricalexperience and, according to Bart-man, "a very exciting eveningof theatre." The Greek play willbe directed by Richard W. Cody'68. • :

The third and final production,Albee'S timely and controversial"Tiny Alice," will be preceded andfollowed by several discussions"to bring fuller understanding to aplay, which many critics contend,lacks any meaning whatsoever."

Jazz Band on November 18, and aperformance by the Clarion Or-chestra of New York under thedirection of Newell Jenkins.One event yet to be scheduled

is a performance of the Tchaikov-sky "Symphony No. 4" by the com-bined orchestras of Mt. HolyokeCollege and Trinity.

papers, he explained, was an ex-pression of the teachers' con-cern that students have a maxi-mum amount of time to preparefor their examinations.The shortening of the exam per-

Malicious

Five malicious false alarms rung in SouthCampus within minutes of each other Thurs-day night brought firemen screaming ontocampus, drove all the residents of B sectionfrom their rooms, and showed once again howtotally irresponsible Trinity students can be.

The mere fact that five alarms were rungat almost the same time seems to indicatethat the move was pre-planned or at least or-ganized and that, perhaps, more than one per-son is responsible.

Although it has been said many times before,the tragic results of ringing a false alarm are toooften ignored not only by those who committhe crimes but by those who laugh as firemensearch a building with axes and hooks.

The truth of the matter is that a false alarmweakens the City's fire-fighting force while afew companies respond to the alarm, and thata real fire could be_raging_ out of control

while distant companies are all called to thescene.

In addition, more than a, few fatal accidentshave occurred because of fire engines colli-ding, one on the way to a real fire, the otherto a false alarm.

Many students are unaware of these outsidefactors, but surely they have seen the reactionof firemen and fellow students. Both groups areusually disgruntled after a false alarm forhaving been called out and the situation hasbecome so bad that firemen in the area almostresent coming to Trinity because half thetime they are coming to a false alarm. If andwhen we have real fires, this psychologicalprejudice does not help.

One further note, the traditional punishmentfor turning in a false alarm has always beenexpulsion. If there were any stronger punish-ment open to the College we would recommendit.

inevitableTrinity's first party weekend has come and

gone. New pledges in fraternities have had ataste of what, fraternity social life is like andthose who wanted to "go Greek" and did nothave had the bitter taste of independent lifeon a party weekend.

One bright note is that Brownell Club had acrowd of over sixty at its party Saturday night,and it looks as if there is a nucleus there whichmay be able to improve independent socialactivity.

It is becoming more and more apparent thatorganizations like Brownell are going to haveto be the basis for a great portion of inde-pendent partying. Mixers, dances, open hous-es, and the like if sponsored by College or-ganizations cannot now substitute for frater-nity parties. The reason is simple: the socialdrinking factor. ;

Nonetheless, it seems now that Brownell ison the way up and the IPC has voiced encour-agement to those who might want to start a

new fraternity on campus. We believe that al-though the College shouiu continue to provideadequate facilities in the areas of dining andrecreation for independents, it is just as import-ant for independents to search out the possi-bilities open to them for social activity withinthe present social structure, either by makinguse-of already existing facilities like Brown-ell or by taking the initiative for forming othersocial clubs, fraternal or non-fraternal. We aresure that the Director of Student Affairs wouldbe willing to work with any groups interestedin non-fraternal clubs and that the IFC wouldbe equally happy to work with independentswho might want to found another fraternityon campus.

The modification or expansion of the Col-lege's social structure must necessarily comeabout when a smaller and smaller percentageof each sophomore class is taken within thefraternity system. Now is the time for all thoseinterested in social life at Trinity to re-ex-amine the present structure and start to makeplans for the inevitable future.

Inferiors

Vast improvements in Elton Dormitory overthe summer have shown how much can be doneto a potentially unattractive building to beau-tify its interior. Hopefully these improvementswill encourage students living in the dorm totake more pride in it and to destroy it lessthan in the past,

One issue that has seldom been aired, how-ever, is the condition of the older "more beau-tiful" dorms on the Quad. Northam and Jarvisare the two oldest dorms on campus and yetthey seem to get the least care.

The main reason for this, we suppose, isthe fact that they are considered to be the bestdorms relatively and that, living in them is bet-ter than living anywhere else on campus. Con-sequently, not many students ever complain

LaughableTO THE EDITOR:

Trinity is a college deeply boundup with tradition. Some of thesetraditions are worthwhile, andserve a useful purpose. Others areobsolete and should be discarded.These outmoded traditions, whichare intended to make the studentproud of his college and its an-cient heritage, tend Instead tomake him cynical and disrespect-ful.One of the most flagrantly out-

moded Trinity traditions is thatof Freshman Matriculation. Thisconsists of meeting the president,hearing him extend a few wordsof exhortation, signing the Ma-triculation Book, and leaving. Inthe past, when classes were small,this was probably an excellentway of exemplifying the personalfaculty-student relationship forwhich Trinity prides, herself. Inthis era, however, when each in-coming class sets an enrollmentrecord, the tradition borders onthe ridiculous.This year President Jacobs had

to shake the hand of 331 fresh-men. The freshmen stand in aline outside the President's of-fice. The door Is open, and eachfreshman hears the words thatare said to each of those in frontof him. To his amused contempt,he hears that the President saysexactly the same words, in ex-actly the same tone, to each per-son In line. The picture he hadin his mind of a nice cozy chatwith the President dissolves veryquickly, and he feels like a not-

about the dinghy hallways, the cracked glassin many of the leaded windows, the poor con-dition of the lavatories, the chopped up wood-work, and the cracked plaster wails.

A great deal of money is spent by the Col-lege each year to keep up the outsides of thesebuildings, replacing slate shingles, rain pipes,and dried out mortar between the brownstones.Not very much money is spent keeping up theinsides. .

We suggest that Buildings and Grounds andthe new Assistant Dean of Students, who hascharge of the dormitories, think seriously aboutdoing something to maintain the interiors of theolder dorms. They might even consider doingsomething with the totally barren foyer in Nor-

. tham.

very-integral part of an assemblyline. That he is told beforehandto sign his name on line 263reinforces his feelings of anony-mity. So he goes in, shakes hands,hears that the next four years ofhis life will be the happiest ever,signs his name, shakes hands oncemore, and tries to hold back thelaughter he feels swelling withinhim.

This situation is unfair both to.the students and to President Jac-obs, who does the job as well ascan be expected under the circum-stances. If this practice is to becontinued, as it assuredly willbe, a way must be found to bringback the personal touch whichis so entirely lacking at present,

L. KATZENSTEIN '70

(Ed. note — Mr. Katzensleinis right. However, what he doesnot, know is that the signingof the Matriculation Book inthe presence of the Presidentis only a recent "tradition"initiated last year. The signstacked to the dying elms out-side Williams Memorial assign-ing groups, times, etc. fur-ther point up the ludicrous-ness of the whole situation.We are sure the Presidentcould use the first day of theterm, for better things, andsurely incoming Freshmenwould be no less impressedwith Trinity if they missedthis ridiculous! formality.)

Ziff Sees Hope For 'Voyage' Of ArtsThe following is a speech delivered by Dr. Jerrold

Ziff, newly .appointed chairman of the arts department,to the ninth annual campus conference.

President Jacobs, Ladies and Gentlemen,I feel much like the person who has arrived at the ship

yard moments after the launching. The cheering is over,whistles and horns are silent, and the crowds have begunto disperse. The boat is afloat and people must get on tothe next pressing matter. And yet upon reflection we allknow that while the moment of drama has passed muchneeds to be done before the vessel is fully prepared forits task. .

I very much hope that it will pain no one here if I com-pare the arts at Trinity College and its Austin Arts Center,with an impressive vessel just launched, but not yetreally outfitted for its journey. Now of course the ArtsCenter is staffed and it has many excited voyagers. Whatis more, it can even lay claim to a distinction in its com-plement, possessing as it does two captains -- a directorand a department chairman.

But the greatest question or problem confronting the artsat Trinity is still unresolved. What is their task, theirgoals? What is their route and what is the speed of thejourney to be? These are the matters I should like to bringto your attention: in effect, I wish to spread the maps beforeyou and suggest a worthy course.

To evaluate the goal of the arts at Trinity we must alwayskeep in mind a number of circumstances: the size, nature,and character of the College; the interests and needs ofits students, the location of the school, the needs of thesurrounding community; and the significance, or import-ance of the arts themselves irrespective of the precedingconsiderations.

Taking the last matter first I can say categoricallythat I consider the arts of critical importance.

If a society or culture chooses to limit the pursuit ofthe arts to idle young ladies, rich dilettantes, retiredstatesmen, or the bearded and sandeled who see thearts as a romantic escape, that is, I suppose, the busi-ness of that society, just as it is the right of an individualto limit his diet to meat and potatoes. Such a diet will sus-tain him for a long time before he dies of deficiences orboredom.

I do not' insist that the life of any man is dependentupon his facility with a brush, his love of poetry, or hisability always to be in tune. I do, however, insist thatthe fullness of his life is directly connected with thebreadth and texture of his experiences, interests andthe quality of his values.

The historian knows from his study of the past that menshare certain unique capacities. We respond to shapes andcolors, to the rhythm of sounds, to the order and structureof words. The historian knows too that man has, throughthe ages, bent every effort to give form to his delightsand failings, his beliefs and aspirations. Caves have beenpainted, animal bones carved, pots decorated, not to men-tion structures of infinite complexity and compelling beautybuilt to celebrate a faith. '

Now what has all of this to do with Trinity College, or forthat matter any school? Just this. We want our friends andstudents to know this potential, to realize it, and to valuethis creative potential in himself and others. We atTrinity are dedicated to a belief that the education ofthe whole man is important. We wish for more than themechanic or narrow specialist, as necessary as he mightbe for the effective running of our society. We, or perhapsI ought to be more careful and say those of us In the arts,also seek a man who can be termed -- and now I use aword unfortunately discredited — cultured, a conditionone scholar has described as respect for moral values ac-

Let us now descend from this ideal plane and considerwhat we in the Austin Arts Center can do, and ought to doin the face of such goals. We must, I think, be able to pro-vide students with an opportunity to develop their owncreative skills and also to develop their latent capacityto comprehend and enjoy what man intended to be enjoyed.For the first we provide studios, courses and hopefullysuperior Instruction. By these means we do seek to aidthe student in his quest of skills. We are not, on the otherhand, a conservatory, or an art school, nor do we wish tobe. Content, thought and values must, we think, accom-pany the mastery of technique.

It is realized that only a small proportion of the Trinitystudents will come In contact with the arts through theirown activity in a studio or on a stage. But in other respectsevery student should have some meaningful contact withthe Austin Arts Center. If they do not, we In the Centerhave failed to attain our other goal, or more accuratelywe have fallen short of our obligation to aid the studentin his understanding and delight in the arts. This bringsme to another of the circumstances, which I mentionedearlier, affecting what we need to achieve at Trinity.

There are those who would insist that as Trinity liesin the heart of a major metropolitan area the Collegeneed not bring the arts to the campus. Far from being insome remote section of the country, hours from any sortof cultural center or activity, we are fortunate in havinga fine museum a few blocks away, music for all who seekit, the dance and the theatre. For those who want more,Boston and New York are but two hours away.

But what of those who do not go to the Bushneli, who areappalled by the thought of seeing ballet, who have never beento the Atheneum? By asking such questions we begin torecognize more clearly what the arts of Trinity, what theAustin Arts Center can and ought to do. I think it is ourobligation to press home every effort which will lead tothe student's contact with the arts. And I believe in thenotion of bringing excellence within the student's range.Mediocrity should not be the extent of his experience.Now this does not mean that we need to buy Rembrandtpaintings (wouldn't it be nice though?), borrow the MonaLisa, or schedule the Boston Symphony. But It does meanthat we endeavour to find that of high excellence, whilerecognizing what our means and size permits. In a waythis is a more exciting challenge. It is the opportunity

to show the beauty of line through a Japanese print insteadof a Raphael painting, the majesty of music through aBeethoven string quartet Instead of the 9th Symphony. Thechallenge includes the hope that we can bring the sheervariety of man's esthetic inventiveness into the range ofthe student's experience, that_we can show what man cando with the engraver's burin or pencil, or with the weld-Ing torch or electronically induced sound, And even ifwe cannot fetch the Boston Symphony or Leonardo'sMona Lisa we have still other opportunities. We neednot be the slaves of fashion. Very simply, while we areanxious for an enthusiastic public, we need not alwayshave our eyes fastened upon a turn-stile count, or boxoffice returns. We can, given the confidence of experi-ence and wisdom, risk the censure of the popular critic.

Our goals insist that we treasure what the artist ofthe past achieved, and what the artist of today is achiev-ing. It means that we must communicate our reverence,that we stand up and declare our intense Interest. Stu-dents are impatient with lip service. Very truly it isa matter of put up or shut up. We can talk our headsoff about the arts within the confines of a classroom,but if the classroom marks the extent of the depart-ment's, or College's interest In the arts then we shallfail. If we wish to bring the arts within the compass ofthe student, then the department and the college mustlead the way. It Is my considered opinion that all of usmust see that a commitment to the arts is extendedover the campus.

I think I see here at Trinity steps towards this kindof campus commitment. I look with pride at the CesareBarbieri Center, a center for Italian studies, sponsor-ing the world premier of an opera. While the directorof that center, Professor Campo, may yet be uncertainwhere all the money will come from in order to backthe venture, he can be certain that the aesthetic andeducational values of his enterprise are enormous. Weat the Austin Arts Center can testify to that fact. Al-ready students have been visiting rehearsals at the Good-win theatre where they hear and observe composer, con-ductor, musicians and singers interacting, respondingand clashing. They are witnessing a work of art beingfashioned.

Similarly, I am proud of a much more modest eventthe art department will stage in November. At that timestudents will have an opportunity to buy prints -- notreproductions, but very real, tangible works of art byold and modern masters of print making — in somecases at prices less than are commanded by commer-cial reproductions. Students will thus have an opportun-ity to own, to handle, to know Intimately a work of art.

In their different ways these two events at TrinityCollege represent what I hope will become ever morecommon in the arts here.

The College -- Us students, alumni and friends — hasbuilt a fine center. It is time now for the vitality and sig-nificance of the arts to radiate outward from that center.I am sure the College wants It that way. I know the stu-dents do.

Sacrilegious?

Carillon Airs Pop Music"Just because something comes

from the Chapel," observed Chap-lain Alan C. Tull, "it does nothave to be sacred In nature."The variety of music played onthe carillon raises the quest.ion

Symposium...rights was drawn from a nationalreport by a 32-man study groupsponsored by the Students for aDemocratic Society. This report,"The Triple Revolution," contendsthat rapid technological change inthe area of industrial production,advances In weaponry develop-ment, and a human rights revolu-tion all provoke radical socialreform.

The report states that advancesin automation will eventually bringabout a great reduction in theamount of human effort neededfor the production of economicgoods as well as a great Increasein productive output. This pros-pect, the report states, should re-quire a reexaminationof the meansof distribution of wealth.

Distribution of wealth on the basisof job-earnings might well be re-placed by a system guaranteeinga minimum Income, the report,suggests. Such a system If ef-fected immediately would alleviatethe economic and educational prob-lems of many American Negroestoday, the report contends. If theproblems of the Negro today arenot solved by some such system,these very problems may becomethose of a much greater part ofAmerican society. Under the pres-ent system for the distribution ofwealth, many workers will be Im-poverished through unemploymentbecause automated machines havereplaced them, the report noted.Tentative scheduling of the sym-

posium calls for lectures onhuman rights to be given the eve-ning of April 21, Workshops andsmall discussion groups dealingwith human rights will be heldthe morning of the 22nd, Thesewill be followed by lectures, dis-cussions, and workshops on auto-mation in the afternoon, with apanel discussion that evening whichwill attempt to unify the two areasconsidered by the symposium. Ma-jor lectures and' the concludingpanel discussion are tentativelyslated to be held in the FieldHouse.

as to whether selections otherthan hymns constitute a sacrile-gious use of the chapel bells.

The principle purpose of thecar-rlllon is to call students to wor-ship and to signal the conclusionof services with postludes. De-spite its religious connotations,the carillon celebrates athleticy Icto rles and provides su m mer-tlme recital entertainment forHartford residents.

The bells are 'also used for theannouncement of certain specialevents such as deaths of promi-nent personalities, most recentlythat of former President HerbertHoover, On a more festive note,

Jhe_carillon played HAPPY BIRTH-DAY last year for Pres-ident Ja-cobs.

The carillon consists of thirtybells, ranging in weight from 15to 1500 pounds each. It is lo-cated In the chapel tower andis operated by pounding leversthat trigger the clappers of thebells. As each lever is depressedthere Is a time lag before thechime Is heard, thus requiringthe carlllonneur to compensatein order to maintain an even flowof notes.

The carlllonneurs are GilbertG. Campbell '67, master carillon-neurj Charles Kurz H '67, asso-ciate carlllonneur; Robert J. Tay-lor '69, assistant carillonneur; andPaul C. Mortel '68. The groupmaintains a strong tradition sincethe Guild of Carllloneurs of NorthAmerica was founded at Trinity,shortly after the bells were dedi-cated In 1932. As their legacy isrich, the carilloneurs often hostguest carllloneurs, especially forthe popular summer recitals.

The only drawback concerning thebell ringers' work is that theirauthorised playing times are re -stricted. Permission from Dr. Ja-cobs must be granted for the bellsto be played during the day since itis forbidden to play during classhour, or late at night.

Garofolo To InaugurateNew Security SystemRevisions are now being made In

the College guard system withrespect to general orders and pro-cedures for guards, according toAlfred A. Garofolo, the new di-rector of campus security. Theobject of the new procedures isto provide greater security forthe College and students.

During the past summer therewere several instances of localyouths Insulting and actually as-saulting students here, and In thepast week four complaints of theftinvolving wallets, watches andmoney have been turned in by stu-dents. Garofolo said under the newprocedures guards would be In-structed to check anyone who theysuspect Is not on campus for alegitimate purpose and to ask tosee their Identification. There willbe three guards on night duty andtwo on day duty at all times.

The security director also said heanticipates that the College willInaugurate Its own guard systemin an effort to Improve the qualityof security and increase studentconfidence. The College presentlyemploys the Mather Security Ser-vices. Garofolo wanted to stress,however, that he sees the roleof the guards as being one ofsecurity and not of student dis-cipline. While several Connecti-cut colleges now have registeredpolicemen on their security forces,Garofolo said he did not wantthis here "for obvious reasons."

IFC RevivesRutgers PlanIn its weekly meeting Tuesday

evening, the Interfraternlty Coun-cil resolved to revive and pro-mote the so-called Rutgers Planof exchanging meal Invitations be-tween houses. The plan, nominallylong existent, provides for a cer-tain number of brothers of one <house to eat at another, the latterhouse reciprocating with an equalnumber of members eating out.IFC President Charles Sanders

'67, encouraged IFC members tovisit the several houses as fre-quently as possible In an effortto familiarize fraternities with theRutgers Plan.The Council unanimously accept-

ed Reverend Alan Tull's petitionto have fraternities entertainchapel speakers following the Sun-day Vesper services. Such a planproved highly successful last yearwhen Individual fraternity houseswere open to freshmen, as wellas all upperclassmen.

Finally, the IFC agreed to spon-sor a nationally prominent Indi-vidual as a speaker at the College.The Council believed it could moreeasily promote such an undertak-ing owing to Its greater financialresources and organizationalability. Following the announce-ment of the speaker, funds wouldbe raised through a general as-sessment on all fraternity men.

As for the parking situation,Garofolo said the College had plac-ed the new parking lot off NewBritain Avenue as close to thedorms as city regulations wouldpermit. He observed that the Col-lege has no control over SummitSt. parking and that the city ofHartford had placed some "noparking" signs there, but hopedthey would not force the issue,although they might In the future.

Jones HallPhone BanTerminatedJones Hall residents will no long-

er be denied the convenience of apersonal telephone, Jones dwellersmay now bask in the luxury ofIntimate phone conversations andunbelievable monthly bills.

In a surrender to the protestsof students, Leonard R. Tomat,assistant dean of students, liftedthe restrictions on Jones Halltelephones. The telephone restric-tion stemmed from a difficulty inwiring the Jones Hall rooms, To-mat said. Norman A. Walker, di-rector of buildings and grounds,had ordered a ban on additionalwiring in the dorm, fearing thatserious damage to the walls andceilings might result.Student requests for personal

phones prompted Tomat to havethe telephone company investigatethe problem. The company foundthat telephone jacks can be instal-led in each room with minimalwiring operations.

Jones Hall residents who have or-dered telephones will have theminstalled within two weeks.

Draft Besets Students,Faculty With Problems

by NORMAN MARCOVSKI

In a time of increasing militaryactivity and greater, more im-mediate manpower requirements,the Selective Service Systemseems to cast a giant shadowover the nation's college cam-puses. Selective Service hasaroused a reaction from manyquarters of the academic com-munity which presents a pictureof uncertainty, antagonism and ap-prehension.

On the Trinity campus GeraldMarshall, assistant dean and reg-istrar, is the man who essentiallyserves as liason between the stu-dents and the Selective Service.Mr. Marshall was formerly Col-oner Marshall, USAF, and profes-sor of aerospace studies for theTrinity detachment of Air ForceROTC. The transition to his pres-ent position represents, at firstglance, a complete turnabout inhis relationship to the student andhis military obligation.

Mr. Marshall is quite consciousof the inequities and unfortunateramifications of the Selective Ser-vice System. He feels that theaverage Trinity man should notbe drafted but is rather officermaterial. This is the entire ra-tionale behind having the ROTCprogram on the campus, Marshallpoints out.

Marshall is puzzled by the stu-dent's reaction to his commitmentin the Viet Nam struggle. "Thesame questions of apprehensionabout going to war or into combatwere in our minds before WorldWar II," he recalled, "but wenever voiced them out loud as thefellows do now. We were under akind of social pressure that anysuch expression would be termedout' and out cowardice." It hasbeen Mr. Marshall's continued ex-perience in ROTC for people toask him how to avoid combatassignments.

Thomas Smith, Associate Deanof the College, strongly empha-sized that the College only certi-fies to the Draft Boards what isrequested by the student. The ini-tiative of defining his draft statusremains with the student as aprotection of his conscience, Smithsaid. Although Smith feels that its unfortunate that an educational

institution should be badgered so,he feels that the College has put it-self in the position of represent-ing the best interests of the stu-dent in his relations with the Se-lective Service.

The examination administered bythe Selective Service on~cojlege"campuses last Spring was aftan-gibie move of great proportion inan area as nebulous as draft clas-sification. The position of the Col-lege in providing facilities forhe administration of the draft

test on campus was one of in-creased convenience for studentstaking the test.

Gerald Pryor '68 saw the ex-amination offered on the campusas something that, in itself andin What it represented, had no

place in the college community.Pryor referred to the fact thatthe local chapter of the Studentsfor a Democratic Society staged aprotest at that time for severalreasons. "First of all," "he said,"the government hasn't the rightto determine a student's intel-lectual capacity or potential. Thetest emphasized science and math,the needs of the government, andpassed over the humanities andpeople who are creative in art andliterature."We in SDS are also against the

2-S classification," he continued."In keeping with our democraticideals, the draft should be uni-versal. Those who haven't thefinancial, intellectual capability,or the desire to go to college areunfairly discriminated against."Pryor also felt that the Collegeshould have denied the SelectiveService the use of its facilitiesIn protest.

Pryor's stand brings to mindMarshall's regret of the tragedyof a young man who honestly andsincerely feels that the SelectiveService' is violating his intellectualhonesty by its intrusions into hiscollege education. Such a young

man is not appreciated, Marshalladmitted, and his lot is worse fornot offering the Draft Board theinformation it wants. There areseveral men on this campus who'did not take the exam and receivedletters from their local Boardsrequesting information concerningtheir class standing.

At this point in the story, onewonders where to turn to. Un-fortunately, a visit to the StateHeadquarters of the Selective Ser-vice System offered no dialogueof understanding or new horizonsof progress in this quagmire.Speaking with the Manpower Of-ficer, Major Russell, only servedto reaffirm in a friendly and sym-pathetic manner the rules andregulations which led us Into ihir

at age eighteen.

Major Russell, Manpower Officerat the state headquarters of the Se-lective Service System, acknow-ledged no Inequity in the draftexam, noting that it was gearedfor the average public high schoolgraduate. "The standards of theexams were good when used be-fore but when re-instated thisSpring caused a great outcry,"added Major Russell. The outcry,he felt, was unjustified becausethe academic community was "partof this decision to re-use thisprocedure."

Major Russell summarized hisposition in saying that the collegeman must accept the idea of ser-vice as it is prescribed. Acceptingservice positively is to the ad-vantage of the inductee as his ex-perience would then be a positiveone, Marshall said encouragingly.

"It is the duty of the responsiblecitizen to stand behind his countrywhether he may privately disagreewith its policies," the Major as-serted.

The next draft test willbe on Fri-day and Saturday, November 18and 19. The nearest location toTrinity is listed as West Hart-ford. The test is only for those whohave never taken it<

Trin Loses 1st Game 17-7 To Ephmenby NELS OLSON

Thirty-five years of college foot-ball experience has made CoachDan Jessee anything but a conser-vative gridiron strategist. LastSaturday's opener versus Williamsfound him experimenting with ashotgun offense in addition to histraditional "I" as well as an un-definable 5-2, 6-2 defense.

A shortage of veterans and In-flux of untried sophomore andjunior potential forced him to useseveral substitutes in line andlinebacking- positions. CoachJessee, however, feels he has themakings for a successful team.How that potential Is to be usedis still a big question.But the Bantam's 17-7 loss to Wil-

liams this Saturday was a highprice to pay for experience. Thisseason's opener found the Trinitydefensive middle penetrable andtheir offensive attack stubborn andexplosive but unable to converta drive into a score.Junior quarterback Kim Miles,

replacing last year's record-breaking passer Rich Rissell,maneuvered his offense for 271yards, 135 of that through the air.But the Bantam defensive line con-ceded 266 yards on the groundalone.

The first half fell In Trinity'sfavor as they managed to sustainfive powerful drives to Williams'two. Junior fullback LarryRoberts, who logged 73 yardsall afternoon, and Doug Morrlllfound running room as Trin's for-ward wall successfully moved Wil-liam's large defensive line. Miles'favorite play seemed to be theoption. But two Interceptions andtwo fumbles recovered by the Eph-men made scoring impossible.-Williams employed a "spread"'

defense that occasionally put fivemen in the defensive backfield;they seemed willing to concedeshort running yardage in orderto protect against Miles' powerfulpassing arm.

But Williams scored first with4 minutes left in the first halfafter an eight play drive put themon the Trin 30 yard line. Fromwhere Winlck booted a field goal.Three Interceptions, by Joe

McKeigue, Nick Edwards, and Bill

Melcher, in the second quarterproved the Bantam's defensivebackfield was strong, but towardsthe end of the half, the Ephrnenconcentrated on their running gameand began to soften the Trinityline.Williams dominated the second

half, running twice as many playsas the Bantams. They compiled174 yards on the ground in thelast 30 minutes alone.The second the Ephmen controlled

the ball they managed an eight playdrive only to be stopped on Trin's22 yard line when linebackerHopkins' tackle stopped them aftera fourth down attempt.

Trin took the ball on the 20yard line and drove for five plays,featuring runs by Morrill and San-ders, to their 47 yard line. Onthe next play, with 4 minutes leftin the third quarter, Miles passedlong to sophomore Ron Martin fora 53 yard touchdown.With the score 7-3 in Trinity's

favor Williams took the ball ontheir 26 yard line after the nextkick-off and drove for 12 playsto paydirt, scoring on a 16 yardrun by John Petke over right guard.Their drive concentrated on Trin'smld-llne.

The Bantam's succeeding of-fensive effort, with the score10-7, resulted in a Williams inter-ception which was returned 44yards for a score. Fortunately, aclipping penalty nullified the touch-down and the Ephmen took theball on the Trinity 47 yard lineinstead.

Williams ran the Bantam middleagain until they stood on Trin'sthree yard line. On the tenth playof the drive sophomore Dunn, whogained 170 yards in 31 carries thatafternoon, scored.

Trinity, behind 17-7, took thenext kick-off on their own 26 yardline and "cdmrhancled a drive"ofnine plays only to be stymied 27yards from the end zone as theirfourth down play failed.

Williams took possession of theball with only three minutes leftand the score remained in theirfavor, 17-7,

HALFBACK LARRY ROBERTS (41) is spilled by a William's defensive back after a shortgain during Saturday's game. Watching the action are halfback Doug Morrill (27), quarterbackKim Miles (14) and end Bob Miller (86). Roberts proved to be the workhorse of the backfield ashe rolled up 73 yards for the afternoon. In future contests Roberts, Morrill, and the rest of Trin'srunning attack must keep the opposing defense off balance to enable Trinity's passing attack \obe more potent than it was against the Cphmen.

48% of 321 Freshmen Pass PE TestCompared to 57% of 325 Last YearWhile the next four years will

prove the members of the Classof 1970 are superior academically,it took only two days during Fresh-men Week to determine that phys-ically they were Inferior.

Of the 321 Frosh who took the,required Physical Education test,Coach Bob Slaughter reported that —this year's seniors.

The Physical Fitness

only 154, or 48%, proved them-selves capable of obtaining theminimum 75% passing grade. Com-pared to the other classes pre-sently at Trinity, this 48% waslower than last year's 57%, butwas higher than the 45% of theclass of '68, and the 37% of

••ff

Test isdesigned to determine the gen-eral physical condition of highschool and college studentsacross the country. It is com-posed of five separate trials: a 600-yard run, sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, and a standing broadjump. The total percentile gradeis computed by averaging togetherthe individual percentile achieve-ments in each of th e five events.To obtain a passing grade in eachevent, one must run 600 yardsin 1;44; do 61 sit-ups, 40 push-ups, and 20 pull-ups; and broadjump 7'8". To obtain a 100% score,one must run the 600 yardsIn_hl2; do 100 sit-ups, 60 push-ups, 2U pull-ups; and lump9'6",

In contrast to the generally poorperformance of the freshmanclass, certain individuals cameclose to, or topped the 100% markin individual categories. In the600-yard run Charles Hoskingmstimed at 1:22, or 95%. The high-est number of push-ups, 69, wasdone by George Yeannakls, whilePeter Meaeham surpassed the 100%requirement by doing 21 pull-ups,and Michael Prolides jumped 9'3"for the best performance in thestanding broad jump. There wasno single outstanding achievementin sit-ups, as 90 Frosh did 100or more.

Two members of the freshmanclass deserve special recognitionfor turning in the highest overallpercentages. Robert Jacobs andCharles Wright both scored 95iSpecial recognition might also goto those who could not swim threelengths of the pool, 10% of theclass of '70, or those who couldnot do a single pull-up, push-up,or sit-up, but the list of nameswould be long.

Almond Says Depth Crucial;Depends On Veteran Harriers

by RICK HENDEE

GETTING IN FRONT of the ball is not always easy, but senior goalie Nick Cotakis suc-cessfully grabs an attempted score in a recent practice. Nick and sophomore Hank Snavely andBob Loeb have been battling for the starting slot. A big question this year is who wi l l f i l l Bi l lSchweitzer's position for Saturday's opener against M.I.T.

Many of cross-country CoachBarrle Almond's pre-season ad-jectives are optimistically tradit-ional ("well-balanced, strong, en-thusiastic") yet his reasoning iscuriously unique. The Blue andGold distance men, losing only toWesleyan last fall, are led by BillShortell whom Coach Almond fig-ures should always finish,"in thetop three if not in front."

But the squad's key to winning iscentered around the 6th, 7th, 8thand 9th place finishes rather thanfirst or second. Trinity's team istightly bunched together and whilethe Blue "might have to sit outa few places", when one Trin mancrosses the line, five or six otherswill also. Victory, then, is in num-bers rather than speed. Depth,comments Coach Almond, in his

third year at'Trinity and cross-country's second as a Varsitysport, is the strongest ever,Freshman Chuck Hoskins from

Illinois already seems a squaahighlight although no time trials.have yet been taken. CaptainJessee Brewer, transfer MineLetz, and Chris Howard are easilythe team's strong points.The long distance men open tneir

season against Coast Guard away,October 11. Wesleyan again, loomsas Trinity's strongest opponentand should preview the squaa sbest running. The season climaxis centered in Boston with tneEasterns and the New England.Small colleges as well as Brown,Boston University and Northeas-tern will battle Trinity across tnefive mile championship course,
