This unique program of tours is offeredto alumni of Harvard, Yale, Princeton,M.I.T., Cornell, Columbia, Dartmouth,and the Univ. of Pennsylvania and theirfamilies.

THE CORNELL FUND:WHO NEEDS IT?

Cornell does. Your University, like almost all others, is financiallyhard pressed. The cost of quality education is being pushedup by the knowledge explosion, inflation, and populationgrowth. There are four possible ways out for Cornell: raisetuition so high that only the very rich can afford to come;lower educational standards; abandon private independenceand rely primarily on state and federal support; or tightenbelts while preserving quality and working even harder forincreased private support. Only one of these ways — thelast — is consistent with Cornell's traditions. Cornell's futuretherefore depends on you.

The nation does. A strong and vigorous system of higher educa-tion is vital to the country and to mankind. At Cornell, giftedfaculty members and students are at work on scholarlyresearch that will improve the quality of life for future genera-tions. Undergraduates are learning and refining the skillsthey will use as future leaders. The nation needs their skillsand abilities.

You do. You have a permanent stake in Cornell's prestige. At theend of the past academic year — a difficult or even tragicperiod for many colleges and universities — Cornellians stoodproud. The splendid success of the Cornell Fund was proofthat alumni had faith in the ideals of the University and beliefin its ability to live up to those ideals. That demonstrationheightened Cornell's prestige, to the benefit of Cornellianseverywhere.

Step ahead: a tradition and a challenge. With the founding ofCornell, a tradition that dared to step ahead was established.Through the years the University has held true to that tradition,and must continue to step ahead in these challenging times.Your help is vitally needed.

CornellAlumni News

Visit to a strange land• This issue of the NEWS is an effort todescribe some of the new ways of life nowevident around a college community.

Getting an accurate picture of thesestyles is difficult. Some are illegal, othersbeyond the pale enough that visitors arenot welcome or are suspect. To reflect thenew styles we turned to our contributingeditor, Geof Hewitt '66, and he in turn hasdrawn upon the writing and photographyof others, nearly all under 30 and mostunder 25.

We find many readers have come toconfuse these new ways of the young withthe university itself, so closely associatedare the young with universities, so startlingand visible have their activities proved tobe. Readers will have to draw their ownconnections. We visit enough of the highschools that feed students to Cornell toconsider the sources of the new ways oflife among the young are many and by nomeans all situated on or near collegecampuses.

Living in a college town, though, wethink we understand what prompted aFordham professor, Edward Wakin, towrite of "the feeling of so many alumnithat a visit to their alma mater is a visitby a stranger to a strange land."

You head up Buffalo Street hill towardCollegetown and are aware of change im-mediately. A loose knot of long hairedyoung people ease out into the upboundlane and thumb for a ride.

Many places in town, girls, alone orwith others, thumb toward Cornell, IthacaCollege, and the high school.

The dress is old or tie-died or some-times almost a joke in campy 1920 style orgranny fashion. Boys wear floppy hats ofthe sort only arty ladies used to.

The young are not self-conscious. Mendon't bother to avoid wearing clothingthat might be considered effemini te .Homosexuals, lesbians identify their sexat rallies and sign their names to lettersin the Sun.

Still, there's little doubt about the

presence of conventional passion, to judgefrom the number of times one witnesseslong moist kisses in public between ashaggy boy and a shaggy girl.

Many unmarried couples do not hidetheir status. Both names are listed on theapartment door in full.

Downtown and Collegetown aboundwith "head shops," bearing psychedelicnames and selling a ran'ge of goods associ-ated with the new styles of life—leathergoods, naturally fertilized food products,guitars, implements for taking dope.

Drugs have become Prohibition boozeto many of the young, illegal but clearlyunderstood to be in use. Once the smokingof a sweet smelling, poorly rolled mari-juana cigarette was hidden; now not afew public gatherings are attended by aheavy cloud of its hempy smoke.

Reporting these impressions is onething, becoming more precise another. Ona warm day one can while away time tak-ing a visual census of the number of girlsgoing bra-less. The local union reportstwenty-one fewer barbers in Ithaca thanten years ago. New York State estimates700,000 residents are alcoholics, whilethere are 100,000 drug addicts in NewYork City alone.

But figures don't explain why, orwhence. Each reader must draw his ownconclusions. Being close to the scene, themost we can provide is a picture, drawnby the participants, who in their ownwords may leave clues. One characteristicof many of the young is the greater em-phasis they put on the heart than on thehead. Emotions are more to be trustedthan reason. In that circumstance, the bestoutsiders can do is try to get an accuratereading on these emotions and use theirown powers of reasoning to draw conclu-sions.

What effect will all the changes amongthe upper and middle class of the countryhave upon universities and society in thelong run? We have too little experiencewith their newness to know which of

LettersThe lettuce boycott

• EDITOR : Isn't it lucky that we have the lib-eral (?) [University] Senate to tell us whatwe can't do, like eating lettuce? I hope theyknow more about some of their other world-shaking problems.

What Cesar Chavez is fighting so bitterly isnot non-union lettuce, but another union,which had contracts with most of the big let-tuce growers before Chavez appeared insearch of more union dues.SAN FRANCISCO H. EASTWOOD '11

Answer to three questions

EDITOR: It is hard to believe that earlierdrafts of "That's the trouble with words"could have been more confused or less re-sponsive than the published draft. The prob-lem seems to be, not with words, but withyour reluctance to deal forthrightly with thequestion before you.

There would be no purpose in my follow-ing up on the question asked by Alumnus A,but I would like answers to two questionsraised by your editorial.

Do you really mean that you use all letters,except letters of praise of the NEWS, but thatsome are not published in the same form inwhich they reach your office? That is whatyou seem to be saying.

My other question is more important.What are the criteria that distinguish "promi-nent alumni," whose children are admitted"without meeting the standards of other ac-cepted applicants," from unknown alumni,some of whose children are rejected eventhough they meet, and may even exceed, thenormal standards?

Nothing I have heard about Cornell dis-turbs me more than this information thatthere are two classes of alumni.WASHINGTON, D.C. WM. M. LEFFINGWELL '18

All letters except those in praise are pub-lished. Where changes are made, the writeris consulted if they might change the mean-ing. Where deletions are made, ellipses(. . .) appear.

To the question of "prominent alumni,"there are few who belong in this special cate-gory—donors of buildings, most influential

alumnus in a large city, a few like this. Oftheir number, few ask favors. An occasionalone will have a child or grandchild applywho would not be admitted, even allowingfor the advantage accorded legacies in mostcolleges. An admissions officer says those fewwho are admitted have to be judged capableof doing the work. They may, however, beless capable than some who are denied ad-mission. Some succeed in graduating, othersbust out.—Ed.

EDITOR: After reading your column in theMarch 1971 issue of the NEWS, I knew ex-actly where to direct a question I had hadfired at me.

I had mentioned to a physician that I wasdoing interviewing of secondary school can-didates. His reply was something to the effect:How interesting, and was the Medical Schoolstill as notoriously anti-Semitic as when hehad been applying to medical schools? Theonly thing I could say was yes, I rememberedmy sister, class of '54, telling me that thevaledictorian of A&S, Class of '54 or '53, hadbeen rejected by the medical school becausethey did have a very limited number of placesfor Jewish applicants.

I would be very interested in hearing howthey answer my question. Thank you.SCOTCH PLAINS, NJ CAROLE K. FRIEND '59

EDITOR: Thank you for the opportunity toreply to your letter from Miss Carole Friend.Although the question of discriminationagainst Jewish applicants has been raised re-peatedly with many medical schools in addi-tion to Cornell University Medical College,I can emphatically state that Cornell does notdiscriminate against any applicant on thebasis of religious beliefs.

The aim of the Medical College's admis-sions policy is to select the 91 very best quali-fied students from a group which includedover 2,250 applicants this past year. Unques-tionably, many well-qualified students weredenied admission to Cornell because of lim-ited facilities and faculty, but to havediscriminated selectively against Jewish ap-plicants would have eliminated from consid-eration a large group of the type of studentCornell seeks.

Furthermore, since there are no records ofreligious affiliation of any of our students,there would be no reliable means of actuallyselecting Jewish or Catholic or Protestantapplicants. Lack of this information alsomakes it impossible for me to indicate therepresentation of these religious groupsamong our student body.

Miss Friend also suggests that the MedicalCollege's failure to admit the Jewish valedic-torian of a mid 1950s Arts college class re-flects a policy of discrimination. Although Icannot verify the facts in this case, the ad-missions committee of the Medical Collegeuses many criteria in selecting students in ad-dition to academic achievement.

Although grade-point averages and testscores may reflect high intelligence and ex-cellent scholastic preparation for medicine,other important personal characteristicssought are emotional stability, compassion,intellectual and social maturity, responsibil-ity, and motivation for and interest in medi-cine as a career.

Although the valedictorian of a class mayrate highly in intelligence, the admissionscommittee may have judged the individualto be less desirable over-all in terms of these

The Genesis Of TheAmerican Experiment In Freedom

The rise of individualism came in the late Seventeenth Century and earlyEighteenth Century in the political, social and economic writings of JohnMilton (1608-1674), John Locke (1632-1704), David Hume (1711-1776),Adam Smith (1723-1790) and the Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755).

Perhaps the single most influential of these thinkers was John Locke; thiswas evident in his Two Treatises of Civil Government published in 1690,and in the first portions of An Essay Concerning Human understandingpublished in 1690. The historical importance of these two works in thehistory of freedom is enormous. Locke's theory of government was certainlyinstrumental in producing the English "Glorious Revolution" of 1688; hisconcept of the natural rights of man directly influenced all of the Americanpamphleteers, and especially the thought and writing of Thomas Jefferson.The Declaration of Independence may be traced largely to Locke's politicalphilosophy; and it appears he also had a part in the drafting of the Consti-tution of the United States.

The Declaration of Independence is without a doubt the most famousand brilliant short statement in existence of the principles of politicalliberty: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are endowedby their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Jefferson was a staunch championof limited government and the diffusion and decentralization of powers. Hefavored "a wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injur-ing one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their ownpursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouthof labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Jefferson's belief in the vital importance of the separation of powers, andparticularly the emphasis placed on this question by Madison, Hamiltonand Jay in the Federalist Papers, can be traced back to Montesquieu in hisThe Spirit of Laws, published in 1748. This has been considered as oneof the greatest books of the French Eighteenth Century. In it he developedthe classic formulation of the doctrine of checks and balances and the divi-sion of powers.

This is the second in a series of essays indicating that our Americansystem of free enterprise was developed by scholars and learned men. Theygave much thought and attention to its formulation over a period of years.

To be continued in this space next month.

J. ROBERT BUCHANAN, MD '54NEW YORK CITY Dean, Medical College

Our questions to unofficial sources at theMedical College turn up the fairly universalcomment that each of the four present classesat the college has "substantial" numbers ofstudents with Jewish names or understoodto be Jewish for other reasons, with "sub-stantial" generally meant to mean half ormore. THE NEWS is not able to confirm theaccuracy of this. The college does say it willadmit 15 or 16 women among its 91 entrantsnext fall, a sizeable increase over the past.The main effort, a person at the college said,is now also being made to identify and ad-mit more black and Puerto Rican applicants.—Ed.

The job market

EDITOR: Several student projects affiliatedwith this office have benefited very directlyfrom alumni who have assisted in findingjobs, developing internships with organiza-tions which place students in work situationsthat relate to their studies, and in locatingvolunteer opportunities. These programs in-clude a summer internship in business, one incommunity affairs in the city of Washington,D.C., "Project Even-Odds," which is the titlesome black students have selected for an em-ployment program, a summer employmentprogram for foreign students, and last, butnot least, the Public Affairs Intern Programfor students who wish to spend their summerin government.

I hope, and I think, that student projectleaders have done a good deal better job ofacknowledging the aid they have receivedthan I have, for it is only now that times are

quite difficult that I really realize how muchhas been done. The Business Intern Programis wiped out, or at least in limbo. With UScitizens having a difficult time getting jobs,the picture for foreign students this summerlooks bleak. The other programs are doingsomewhat better, thanks, in part, to alumniinterest but whatever help we can get nowfor these projects will be appreciated. Canyou help get this message to alumni?

The situation for graduates and alumniseeking permanent employment is mixed.There are few fields where the road aheadisn't a bit rocky, and for some with advanceddegrees in the physical sciences, there ap-pears to be a complete washout. But to em-ployers we aren't sending out pleas with anysense of despair, just a message that it is fareasier to hire capable talent than it has beenin years. Judging from the number of or-ganizations that have already requested spacein our 1972 schedules, this opportunity won'tlast long.

JOHN L. MUNSCHAUER '40ITHACA Director, Career Center

In praise of Bob Kane

MR. KANE: If I wait for time, in my full life,to write fancy letters to people, I never getthem written. So a lot of people, includingmy congressman and senator, get postcardsfrom me—and none of them seem to object!

So, to you, a postcard, long overdue, ofcongratulations on your writing in theALUMNI NEWS. I am not much of a sportsfan, but your is the kind of writing that evennon-sports-fans can enjoy, because it is sohuman and vivid. A beautiful example, inthe latest one, was your comment (in thefine article about hockey) on church servicesat the chapel in Anabel Taylor Hall.

Those of us who are grappling with theproblems of religion today REALLY appreci-ate your understanding humor. Keep it up!

ELISABETH OLESEN GARVAIS '40NEW YORK CITY

Recalling Van Loon

EDITOR: The article about Hendrik WillemVan Loon in the NEWS was excellent and re-called a story that I meant to tell you about.It slipped my mind until the March numberarrived today with three interesting respon-sive letters. . . .

I don't recall the date of this occurrence,but it was probably 1916 or 1917. In thosedays the Van Loons were living somewhereon the Heights, and we occasionally sawthem when we rode the "Toonerville Trol-ley," which vibrated along Wyckoff Ave. at20-minute intervals, alternately from the carline on Thurston Ave. and from the far endof Cayuga Heights. On this afternoon Mrs.Van Loon and Willem were on the car;though I don't recall definitely, I suspect myMother and I were the only other occupants,except for the motorman, for traffic wasnever very heavy.

As we waited until it should be time tostart the trip, Willem announced, in a medi-tative sort of way, apropos of nothing thathad been said and addressing himself to theworld at large and no one in particular, "MyMother is 36, but my father is only 34 yearsold." Mrs. Van Loon said (rather sharply),"Willem!" He made no further comment, andI remember my Mother (who kept a straightface at the time), regaling Dad with thestory, and wondering what retribution hadbeen in store for the young man. He musthave been about 6.

We had and enjoyed the Van Loon historybook, but by the time I entered Cornell in1920 he had left. Since my Father was verydiscreet about discussing his colleagues andany university politics, I knew there wassomething peculiar about why Van Loon hadleft Cornell, but I had never heard the story.

May I just add that I am enjoying theNEWS much more than I expected I shouldwhen 1924 began to participate in the classsubscription project. This month I was par-ticularly pleased to note than Cornell's En-tomology Department continues to merit a

TO BE PART OF CORNELL AGAINIf you've ever wondered what you've missed by leaving

campus in June, this young man could tell you quite a bit.He would tell you about Cornell Alumni University andabout the hundreds of alumni who have been returningeach summer to takd part in an academic program led bymembers of the University faculty.

Of course, he would say, Alumni University is a familyaffair. He has his very own day-long schedule of activitiesto be concerned with: games, storytelling, music, tours.His older brother is out on an "ecology walk" with a grad-uate student in conservation, and his big sister is outseeing about some of that new, sophisticated researchcurrently being done at Cornell.

His parents are involved in their own mind-stretchingexperiences. They have just finished hearing morninglectures and are avidly debating things over coffee with

May 1971

some new-found friends before going on to a probing andexciting seminar.

But this doesn't concern our young man. He's waitinguntil seminars are over for that family trip to ButtermilkFalls.

Questions about Kunken Fund

EDITOR: The report on the Ken KunkenFund (March 1971; seems to indicate a needfor responsible action on the part of the uni-versity. I can understand the university's de-cision against the NCAA group insurancecoverage with a premium of $30-40,000 peryear versus the average year's medical in-juries costing the university less than $10,000per year. However, I feel that the universitywhich then becomes self-insured has a moral,if not a legal, responsibility to cover the pay-ment of all necessary medical expenses in-cluding the rehabilitation program. Ken andhis family deserve no less.

My contribution to the Cornell Fund thisyear will be designated to the Ken KunkenFund. I hope that it will serve as "seed" toencourage others who share my viewpoint tohelp the university in discharging this honor-able obligation.WILLIAMSBURG, VA. GEORGE FAUERBACH '35

EDITOR: Thank you for sending us a copy ofMr. Fauerbach's letter so that we could com-ment on the relationship of the Ken KunkenFund to the Cornell Fund.

At the present time the Ken Kunken Fundis not a part of the Cornell Fund. For thisreason we cannot credit gifts to the KunkenFund. Let me assure all of your readers, how-ever, that those individuals who are conduct-ing the fund raising campaign on Mr.Kunken's behalf are doing so with the fullunderstanding and sanction of President Cor-son and members of his executive staff.

The entire Cornell community is very

much aware of the tragedy that has befallenthis young man and all are very much con-cerned with his future. Many have contrib-uted to the Kunken Fund and the universityhas also made a contribution to help defraythe cost of Mr. Kunken's rehabilitation. Inaddition, the university has been helping theKunken family arrange for assistance fromoutside agencies. One such agency, a founda-tion, has already made a substantial grantfor Mr. Kunken's rehabilitation.

The question of insurance coverage forstudent athletes does not fall within the prov-ince of this office. However, we have senta copy of Mr. Fauerbach's letter to the Ath-letic Department so that they might offercomments on the question of insurance cov-erage.

ROBERT J. HALEY '51ITHACA Director, Cornell Fund

And more on CACBE

EDITOR: Mr. Hallock's criticism of the Cor-nell Alumni Committee For Balanced Edu-cation in the March 1971 ALUMNI NEWSseemed to be so full of fuzzy, Neo-Marxistthinking and warped statistics that it almostdefies intelligent refutation.

But just to take one example Mr. Hallocksays: ". . . the huge corporation has resultedin the control of over 80 per cent of thewealth in these United States by, at last ac-counts, some 600 families and their descen-dents."

Question: What does Mr. Hallock mean by"600 families and their descendents?" Where,in time, does he count them? Perhaps in 1620,when by now, they might have 100 milliondescendents scattered throughout the coun-try. Or perhaps in 1870 when, by now, the"600 families" might have one million scat-tered descendents. Or does he mean in 1970when they would have NO descendents?

In any case the thought that 600 familiescontrol 80 per cent of the wealth of the

United States is not much less ridiculousthan a claim that ALL the wealth in the worldis controlled by ONE family . . . i.e., Adam &Eve!!

Mr. Hallock should investigate the stock-holder lists of the "huge corporations," hewould find the corporate "owners" are, muchmore often than not, small shareholders inthe 10 to 500 share range, or large share-holders such as insurance companies, mutualfunds, banks and pension funds, all of whosewealth is as diversified and diffused as Amer-ican voter registration lists!!SKANEATELES FRANCIS H. ASPINWALL '38

EDITOR: Anent Mr. AspinwalΓs reply to myletter re CACBE in the March issue, it isobvious that our experiences have been sodifferent that endless discussion would notbring us together. But I should like to com-ment on two points.

In support of my statement that 600 fam-ilies control 80 per cent of the wealth of theUS, I refer him to the 800-page work byFerdinand Lundberg. The Rich and theSuper-Rich, in which he names many of the600 families, including the DuPonts (1,600strong), the Mellons, Fords, and others;and explains in the most minute detail howthey are able to maintain control by a multi-tude of devices—foundations, interlockingdirectorates, etc.—despite the fact that mil-lions of small fry may own a few shareseach, which mean nothing compared to thepooling of huge blocks.

I am not sure what he means by my"fuzzy, Neo-Marxist" thinking; and can onlystate that the above book and a thousandothers that I have read since leaving Cornellin order to add to my education and keepit in balance, together with the experienceof working for a big corporation for morethan 30 years, have led me to the inescapableconclusion that the ideas originated by Marx,and developed, refined, and implemented byDebs, Norman Thomas, and others, havebeen a major factor in warding off disaster.Whether they will continue to be able to doso for more than a few years, I have gravedoubts.FREEPORT A. LOWELL HALLOCK '13

And yet more on CACBE

EDITOR: The latest round, February '71, inthe debate between the. Committee for a Bal-anced Education and the rest of the worldseems to require a reply from a new direction.

It seems to me obvious that faculties inthe social sciences are in fact made up of"left-leaning" individuals, as I understandthis term to be defined by Mr. Tuller.

It seems equally obvious that this is notthe result of any conspiracy of administratorsor deans.

In the first place, the kind of "conservative"person under discussion is not likely to beattracted to the social sciences as a field forserious study. In the second place, shouldsuch a person become involved in this study,he would not long remain a conservative.

There is no doubt that the "free enterprisesystem" as practiced in the US throughoutits history, has produced great men, miraclesof production, and a higher level of materialwealth for a larger part of its Copulationthan any other existing system. It is alsoquite clear that these accomplishments have

8 Cornell Alumni News

had a high cost in human lives, economically,socially, and psychologically.

Free enterprise, of the kind meant by Mr.Tuller, is essentially Darwinian. There mustbe losers in order for there to be winners.And the losers also serve the system. Forexample, an unemployment rate of under 3per cent is an intolerably tight labor marketto the industrialist. To the sociologist, 3 percent unemployment represents some 3 mil-lion willing men and women who cannotearn a living and must go on welfare or turnto illegal activities, or both, in order to sur-vive. Since the system cannot function with-out, say, a 3 per cent unemployment level,the unemployed make a basic contribution tothe success of the system, and are, therefore,entitled to a portion of the benefits. One ofthe concerns of social scientists is how thiscan be accomplished.

If this concern is "left-leaning" so be it. Iprefer to describe this conflict as one betweenthe material and the human.

It is unrealistic to expect any single'disci-pline to straddle the fence of this basic con-flict without seriously damaging the integrityof the discipline. A "balanced education" isdesirable in terms of available options at theuniversity-wide level, and I believe it is pres-ent at Cornell to an outstanding degree. Butwhen a student has exercised his option, hemust take one side or the other of this basicquestion.

Perhaps an exaggerated idea of what Imean by "balanced education" is that forevery MBA granted, there must be an MSW;for every industrial chemist, a marine biol-ogist. In other words, a builder paired to onewho deals with the inevitable damage. Thisis the adversary system which is the veryheart of Anglo-Saxon justice. I believe thisto be a primary consideration of the univer-sity in its current priorities for the humanitiesand social sciences. A "left-leaning" liberalfaculty will inevitably accompany this shiftfrom emphasis on the material to emphasison the human. This is not an evil thing, solong as the power of the builders is onlyrestrained, and not choked off entirely.

The only valid debate at this time con-cerns the appropriate degree of this restraint.CAZENOVIA FREDERICK C. WALL '44

Appreciation for Prof. Bald

EDITOR: It was with great interest and satis-faction that I read Ray Howes's appreciationof Prof. R. C. Bald in the March ALUMNINEWS "Cornell Notebook." I was surprised tolearn that Bald had come under fire as "adull lecturer to sophomores." Both my sisterand I as well as several friends took Shake-speare with him at various times during the1940s, and found him to be a most informa-tive, scholarly and erudite teacher, demandinghigh standards, but never humiliating thoseof us who never quite met them.

He also had a most delightful dry humor,characteristic of which is one story involvinga friend of mine and Professor Bald. Whenqueried as to whether Shakespeare playsmight have been written by Sir FrancisBacon or a host of other candidates, Bald,an orthodox Shakespearean, calmly, but withjust a bit of tartness responded, "It may wellbe, Mr. , that Shakespeare's playswere not written by Shakespeare, but by an-other gentleman with the same name."BRONX DAVID M. GEIGER '47

Cornell notebook• One of the rewards for writing a col-umn like this, as Rym Berry used to atteston occasion, is receiving letters from read-ers. For instance, I had one from FrankSullivan '14 after the ALUMNI NEWS ranmy piece about him in the issue for No-vember 1970.

I had recalled my effort to secure fromhim in 1939 a contribution to Our Cor-nell, the good times we had immediatelyafter World War II at the Cornell Clubof New York, the time he put my namein his New Yorker Christmas poems,"Greetings, Friends," and the sonnet Isent him in reply, "To Frank Sullivan,with Best Wishes for a Happy New Year."

The major part of Frank's letter follows.

I've been reading your Footnotes in theNEWS since you started the feature, and nowthat I get to figure in one of them it gives methe chance to write and say Hello and tellyou how much I enjoy those Footnotes. Thecurrent one filled me with nostalgia.

Almost everything I read these daysfills me with nostalgia, but I have a spe-cial nostalgia for those years when I wasone of the star boarders at the comfortableCornell Club in the Barclay, and in particularthat pleasant bar where, as you say, you andI clinked many a glass, under the chaperon-age of Carl Hallock. I thank God Carl likedme because if he happened not to like you,you ran a serious risk of not getting a drink.

The only time I recall coming under hisdispleasure was one fall when my sister Kateand two of her cronies came to New York fora week. I put them up at the Barclay andthey used the cocktail lounge at the club fortheir pre-dinner drinks. And their favoritedrink was Pink Ladies.

Carl hated to mix anything more compli-cated than a Scotch and soda, or at most awhiskey sour, and the Pink Ladies infuriatedhim. I trembled lest he find out it was my galswho were demanding them. But he did findout, some time after. Some rat squealed onme. I didn't hear the last of the Pink Ladiesfrom Carl for a month.

He was a great man. I say "was" but he isstill alive, on his farm he retired to, in Mara-thon.

They were great people at that CornellClub. Not only the friends I cavorted withthere, including you, but the entire staff, evento the little old man who was on the nightelevator at the Barclay, who looked a bitlike Pope Pius XII and who used to chide megently when I appeared in his elevator at 2a.m., slightly sozzled from a night on thetiles. He wanted me to take care of my health.Well, I'm still here—I think. . . .

Well, I regret I never did turn up that Cor-nell piece Rym Berry told you about, that Ihad written. But at any rate I got you intothat Christmas litany, and that mention pro-duced the ode by you that you quote. I wasafraid the New Yorker might see the verseyou wrote and say, What the hell, this lad isbetter than Sullivan, let's fire Sullivan andget Howes to do the Christmas thing fromnow on. . . .

As Bristow Adams wrote me once,under somewhat similar circumstances, Idon't believe a word of it, but I purr justthe same.

The same issue of the ALUMNI NEWSthat contained my Sullivan piece an-nounced the publication of Frank Sulli-van through the Looking Glass, edited byGeorge Oppenheimer. My bookstore tookthree months to procure a copy for me,perhaps because I didn't know the pub-lisher (Doubleday & Company, Inc.).

When the book did come, I was de-lighted to find that more than half of itis filled with Frank's letters, many of themfrom a collection which several years agohe entrusted to the care of Prof. GeorgeH. Healy, curator of rare books in theCornell University Library.

I had something else on my mind whenI wrote Frank about his book. In his firstpiece, he mentioned Thorne Smith in alist of foremost American humorists. Theonly place I had ever seen a set of ThorneSmith's novels was in the library of thatsame Cornell Club of New York. Dur-ing the same period when I was meetingFrank there, I used sometimes to stay overa weekend. Most of the time on Sundaythere was nobody around to talk to, and Iwould seek out my favorite chair in thelibrary and curl up with a Thorne Smith.

As I told Frank, I have had ThorneSmith on my mind frequently in recentmonths. Although I have not seen a moviein many years, except the selected andcensored ones on television, I have readand heard much about the influx of sexand nudity. Several weeks ago, a critic inthe Los Angeles Times wrote that audi-ences are becoming bored with such fare,because it is too clinical and serious. Whatthe industry needs, he said, is the realiza-tion that sex and nudity can be joyous andfunny.

Joyous and funny sex and nudity, I re-minded Frank, were Thorne Smith's stockin trade, and I cited the fireman who hada rather onesided view of things when hepreceded a naked lady down his rescueladder from her third-floor bedroom, andthe group of men and women who facedspecial problems when they played volley-ball together in a nudist camp.

I have had it in mind, I said, to recom-mend Thorne Smith to some movie pro-ducer, but I don't know a movie producer.I told Frank I was sure he did, and askedhim to pass on the suggestion. We mightset a new trend in the whole movie in-dustry.

Frank hasn't answered yet. But he will.He wouldn't pass up a challenge like that.

May 1971

By Geof Hewitt '66

I've just watched the news (NBC's version). It is February 23, a Tuesday evening. Thevideoreports ranged from the war in Laos to tornado and blizzard damage to electronicsurveillance testimony to Lt. Galley to a report on welfare and one on a recapturedinmate who had taken hostages. Each station break was dedicated to promoting onedrug or another, and often both: Sominex and Geritol. A system that reports suchcatastrophic unhappiness is almost transparently "marketing" remedies, remindingme of the mythical entrepreneur who sharpens scissors one day and sells bandages thenext. Is this conflict of interest? Would Eastman Kodak sponsor a significantly happiernews?

The effects of minor revelations like this are at first devastating, but finally takenfor granted. We are, indeed, living within a fragile and culpable system; as the negativeevidence mounts, the justifications for dropping out gain credibility.

For me, the choice has been to work "in spite of" the system, and I know a lot ofpeople who have made their decisions along these lines: earn only as much as you need(remember the laws of conservation!) and devote your remaining time to doing asyou please. Making money isn't distasteful, and the challenges are enjoyable; but even-tually one feels his time is better spent when he is not receiving some sort of monetarytaint for his existence. Spontaneity, indeed true "freedom," is most available when youown your own time, and are using (or perhaps giving) it for reasons significant to you.Any job within the system gives rise to the question: am I contributing more tornadosor Geritol?

It may be the old chicken-or-the-egg syndrome, but almost all the heroes of the hipgeneration are dead or in jail. One can't go too long this way before deciding that thesystem which puts his leaders out of commission is the enemy. The Kennedys, MalcolmX, and Martin Luther King are dead. The Berrigans, Angela Davis, even Jimmy Hoffa,are in jail; Cleaver and Leary and others are in exile and feuding among themselves.

So when someone complains that we're living in the absence of freedom, a certainamount of the message comes through. It's true that I can drive from here to Californiawithout passing checkpoints (visible ones, at least: radar is everywhere, and apparentlynot used just to trap speeders), and there are even some outside countries I'm allowedto visit.

America: love it or leave it. It's a phrase that makes no sense, especially within theestablished notion of "work for change within the system." America isn't without thepotential of being lovable. A generation that's been raised with high ideals and brain-washed quite successfully during the '50s by public schools into what may indeed beblind patriotism: that generation isn't about to pack.up and leave just because themorality of big government has gone on strike.

The choices that remain are available "to almost every American," and therein liesthe myth of freedom. One can do what's expected (reward will be largely money) ordrop out until things get better (reward is plenty of free time and a few embarrassingmoments in a welfare interview); or struggle to change the system, in which case thereward is in the doing with jail a contingency. In a sense, the military forces one ofthese types of decisions early in the lives of young men, and perhaps thus initiates apattern for the "dropout" or "radical" who must in this case choose between fighting

The Reflecting Pool in Washington during 1970rallies in protest of the Cambodia invasion.

for the system, or fighting for personal freedom.What is missing in all these alternatives is the feeling of

well-being that comes when a major decision is reached withoutfear having been a contributing factor. If nothing else, ourpresent condition leaves many fearful: LBJ's "nervous nellies"is an accurate term, but does not imply the justified cause ofragged nerves. Fear is one thing we have in common; the rangeof that fear is great—some of us fear repression by our owngovernment, others fear invasion by a communist power. Fearis malignant, and we come to fear one another.

It is understandable that a word like "love" can be sotwisted around, in an atmosphere where sex is its most visiblemanifestation. Sex is good business, it sells. The connectionbetween sex and love is badly corroded by exploitation, andthere's another reason for despairing: in a fearful country, thevalue of "love" is under serious fire.

The World War II or Korean War veteran is unlikely to sym-pathize with draft resistors, because "Hell—I fought for thiscountry, why shouldn't they?" Using similar logic, someonewho has plugged through several years of professional prepara-tion is unlikely to encourage sweeping reforms in a system he'sjust begun to comprehend. People become understandably con-servative when their own sacrifices have already been made.They don't want to rock the boat just before they have achance to bail out onto easy street.

The forms of rebellion have increased during the past fiveyears, and as the spectrum widens the tokenism of long hairis no longer a stigma: it's too common, and Mr. America can'tspend all his time snarling, especially when his own childrenhaven't seen a barber's chair in months or years. Likewise thecountry is developing a tolerance to marijuana: The JohnsHopkins Magazine reports its use even in classrooms, and Hop-kins isn't the wildest campus on the scene.

In fact, Middle America may even be approaching the timewhen it welcomes long hair, and even soft-drug use. Afterall, what is a commune but an experimental fraternity house?The establishment's enemy is no longer the soft-spoken, stoned,long-hair, but instead anyone who speaks his discontent andin so doing threatens (conspires) to bring the system to a halt.Experience is teaching us that thfe society can handle dropouts;activists, on the other hand, are a threat. We've invested somuch in this system, we've made sacrifices galore, it's, hardlytime to think of switching horses in midstream.

What is missing throughout is a sense of joy—laughter or asmile on a street corner between strangers. America has hard-ened as her problems have grown: some of us are .too busy tobe friendly; others too scared. Communities continue to growin size and to fracture as their bulk becomes unmanageable.The message of Dan Berrigan is to enjoy what you.have to do;the photograph of him handcuffed, at last in captivity, a grimagent of the FBI on either arm, wearing the largest grin he can,makes its point in compelling fashion. He's a far cry from thosecriminals who try to hide their faces when the camera comestoo near. It's almost as if he's proud to be going to jail. Hismessage has reached jnany of us.

Because the media invade the privacy of their subjects, andbecause they thrive on simplification, too many Americans have

learned to respond to what they see in a hardened fashion. Thuswe have polarization, which like "generation gap" is a terminvented to describe a phenomenon which becomes epidemiconce the term is popular. The latest of these is "education gap"Which seeks to explain why a pipe-fitter can't talk to his Ph.D.son.

The media have made a lot possible that ten years ago justcouldn't have happened. No one with half a brain is still waitingaround for "the revolution," because it's here. It may not be asdramatic and gory and brief as expected, and this particularphase may be destined to fail. But the media have been inter-ested, and its life will be a matter of accessible record, in varyingdegrees of accuracy, until the final politician makes the ulti-mately stupid mistake.

The history of this revolution is in the dentist's waiting room,and on the evening news, and etched upon J. Edgar's face.Those who wish to draw lines see it as existing to the death be-tween generations—but while young people may be cham-pioned by the media as the most picturesque and symbolic"new force," the truth is that there are lots of older folks whoeither unwittingly cooperate or give active support to thesenew ways. The peace symbol, for instance, is as lucrative asplastic Virgins, and rock music is supporting many a right-wingexecutive.

As the common denominator of current recreation, rockprovides revolutionary messages, often less stirring than thewords of our bombs bursting in air song. But behind the lyricsthere's a tempo that makes more than one or two people in theroom tap their feet, I remember the sheriff who was trying toremain serene as he chaperoned a rock dance in a small northernVermont nightclub. In full uniform, left hand on his hip (nearhis revolver), his right hand, with fingers unconsciously drum-ming, rested on an amplifier as he glared sternly from beneathhis funny hat. Another scene comes to mind: a Led Zeppelinconcert I attended at Iowa where the police were directed bytheir Lieutenant to keep their backs to the stage and to wearear plugs.

If one takes a cause and effect view of American history, hecan say that rock has emerged in keeping with the tumultuoustimes; thus the advent of soft rock should be as comforting asa State of the Union.

New ways to live may not appear so new as uncommon. Thesignificance of a particular life style may be little more thanwhat it means to the person who is living it, and there must betons of conventional eight-to-fivers who are just as delightedwith their comforts as the freaks are with their erratic ways.What is important is that more and more people are openlypursuing their dreams, eschewing the long climb to success,the apprenticeship involved in aging. Again it may be fear thatmotivates: do what you want to while you can.

Or it may be something more important than fear. Did thenuclear scares and air-raid drills and bomb shelter building ofthe high school '50s teach us that fear is a hang-up? This is amatter of semantics, because fear is "basic," right?-—but thefear of fear (to extend Roosevelt's wise saying) may be the com-ing thing. It's nice to appear free: the feeling comes harder, sothere's a lot of resentment towards society's visible constraints.

The real mood of freedom is best expressed by a woman whomay never have tasted it, except when she was singing. JanisJoplin said "If I hold back, I'm no good now, and I'd ratherbe good sometimes than holding back all the time; like a lot ofmy generation, and younger, we look back at our parents andsee how they gave up and compromised and wound up withvery little."

The ALUMNI NEWS isn't pretending to show every aspectof the "alternate culture" or even to give more than a glimmerof what it's all about. Rather, it's an attempt to present thespirit of people who are doing what they want to do, peoplewho are living their dreams. They are people for whom many

profess envy ("if I had it to do over again . . ."), but there arestill enough young people jealous of "the comforts" that thesystem can continue to manufacture and distribute itself.

What we present here is drawn from the admitted fringesof Cornell society—not every photograph shows someonewho's presently a student or a teacher. It would be foolish tobelieve that Ithaca is a typical American community—cer-tainly, with a liberal university located here, the average malehair-length is roughly twice the national median.

However you define "the revolution," it is with us, and itmay or may not be healthy. But it must be fun, because for alot of these people it's all they want to have.

Alternate LivingPhotos and text by Tom Danforth '69

DISSATISFIED with Ithaca's conventional housing, many people are movingto rural areas to create new environments. Four Scientologists, Lucy (Bergstrom)Finkeldey '70, Arno Finkeldey '67, David Zwiebel '69, and Georgene Mayes, found afifteen-acre plot of gorge-riddled land in Ludlowville and preceded to build thismagnificent log cabin. Resourcefulness (the stained glass came from a beautiful-junkman in Elmira; the logs are from the Caroline hills), ingenuity, hard work, and lotsof help from lots of friends made this a low-cost project. The cabin now serves as acenter of Scientological activity in the community.

David Zwiebel, who transferred fromHotel to Human Ecology, stokes the fireinside the cabin, his senior design project.

EFFORT AND IMAGINATION can also be applied to existing structures.People are rinding great challenge and excitement in creating homes from barns,churches, banks, abandoned factories, schoolhouses, and bars—the possibilitiescontinue to grow.

Marilyn and Bruce Kawin, PhD '70 converted this former crawl space in the Asbury Church to bedroom, living room, and study.

Snapshots of an Unmarried CoupleThe author, a senior in the arts college, majoring in Biology,writes: "I/we may join VISTA, or I may go out to the west coastto work on a population biology project and try to write for ayear before considering graduate school."

E NTERING the apartment I find Carol making muffins.Our home is furnished in stylized poverty, withunmatched dishes from the Challenge Industriesstore downtown, and a table made of linoleum tiles

glued to plywood. The walls are lined with books on shelvessupported by bricks and concrete blocks. A worn rug eruptsinto balls of yarn that blow across the floor to your feet. Thevine hanging on the wall is getting too long, and the tendrilssway in the draft that seeps around the big windows that faceout over Ithaca. We've been after a set of storm windows forthree months, and they still haven't arrived. I'm going to haveto sit down and call up the landlord for the twentieth time. Iwonder if he ignores us because we aren't married, and this iswhat we deserve. We always keep the place clean so that whenhe comes he can't find us dirty as well as immoral.

After a phone call from her mother, Carol gets up with alook of defeat. "She's finally asked when she can come up andsee me. What are we going to do?" Well, since Carol's motherdoesn't know we're living together, and Carol is deathly afraidto tell her, there are a couple of things we can do. One is topack up all my belongings and store them someplace while Igrab my toothbrush and move back up the street. Some peopleeven rent extra apartments for such emergencies.

The other thing, the scary thing, is to tell her we're livingtogether. It is terribly difficult to know when the right momentcomes to confess without having everything blow up in yourface. There is always the recollection of some girl who, in aburst of honesty, told her mother she was living with her boy-friend, was called a dirty slut, and immediately disconnectedfinancially. There are those thin spots in your parents that youstep around because sex was something that you never talkedabout when you were growing up, and you can still see thatghost of a "good child" trailing you like an orphan. So you setup deceptions and take precautions such as using phony ad-dresses, and being careful with telephone calls at late or earlyhours.

At one moment we want to be completely honest with ourparents, and the next we decide that ignorance is the best policy.There is a desire to provoke a confrontation, the chance remarkin a conversation that will pave the way to telling the truth.There is a Raskolnikov-like wish to be discovered, and thedeceptions unconsciously become less careful.

Carol and I go up to visit my old roommates. Two of themhave finally decided to move out of the noisy house to livewith their girl friends. The garble of a stereo and the voicesof the others, who have taken some psilocybin, squeeze througha door upstairs. The "couples" are sitting downstairs arounda table. Our friends found their apartments by saying they weremarried. One couple with separate financial arrangements hasopened a joint checking account so they can pay rent as a mar-ried couple. They've even bought a dimestore ring to improveappearances. They promise to have us over whenever theymove in, and we act out the scenario of our arrival:

"Come in, come in, it's so nice of you to come.""Oh, what darling wallpaper you have.""Well, Harry, can I fix you a drink" (A big pat on the back.)

We laugh.

Every few days I pass a little lady smojhered in a gray coatpushing a cart full of laundry. She lives next door, and herporch is on the same level as ours. I smile at her, and she lookssteadily back at me—no sign of reaction. She walks by our doorevery day, and she can surely see both our full names postedon the door. I wonder what she thinks of all this. Maybe shetalks to her cats about us.

On Friday night the supermarket is jammed with people,and it seems as though everybody I've ever known at Cornellis there thumbing the lettuce and piling up packages of groundbeef. Lots of them are unmarried couples, complete withshopping lists. I wonder how they're getting along, whetherthey spend a lot of time together, whether they see many oftheir old friends. I am struck with the urge to ask everyone todinner.

The question of marriage for some of us becomes increas-ingly crucial as we approach the moment when our featherlessbodies will be thrown from the college nest. We have to decidehow we want to live. There are several alternatives. One is tostay together in a college community, where we canremain unmarried indefinitely. We can. leave, get married inthe usual formal way, and receive the blessings bestowed onthose who undergo society's rituals. Or, risking public disap-proval, we can join the outside society and remain unmarried.We may find we have different interests at the end of school,and go our separate ways.

It seems to me that the important thing is the strength of therelationship between two people, not that they are married. Thesame kinds of obligations and responsibilities apply to anunmarried couple as to a married one, but unmarried couplessometimes have to put up with the contradiction betweenfaithfulness and the surrounding promiscuous atmosphere.

One is forced to work out sexual problems by accepting thefact that he has to deal with a whole, complex person, not justthe body he takes out on weekends. Because they understandeach other well, the couple may feel no sexual guilt, and yetsex is the most objectionable part of their situation in theminds of their parents.

Working together as a couple is a crucible for the kinds ofroles each member may play. With the iron hand of malesupremacy on one side, and the sharp eye of woman's liberationon the other, there is a keen self-consciousness about behaviortoward each other. Most important, you can find out whetheryou can really love each other, particularly under trying condi-tions.

If living together is beneficial as a means of working outpersonal problems, it is also a source of tremendous pressureon the individuals involved. The awareness that the person withwhom you're living is never more than two miles away formost of the school year can lead to an extreme case of cabinfever. It is necessary to remain socially active, or you may findyourselves staring glassy-eyed at each other with nothing to say.

The predatory atmosphere around girls, which becomes anuisance or even frightening at times, and the sheer scarcityof female companionship at Cofnell, may bond couples to-gether more quickly than elsewhere, and the number of un-married couples here seems to be rising. The university is re-sponding to this decentralizing trend by granting residentialcolleges, with less restrictive rules. Whether this will drawpeople away from the dens of sin in the Collegetown slums andback onto campus may ultimately depend upon the attra'ctive-ness of joining a community larger than two.

DOWN,OUT,DISGUSTED&BUSTED

CHICAGO,ILLINOISBy Michael Kinney '66

^Iv WHERΓHERE TO BEGIN? It's funny, you know, I wasn'treally into dope smoking very much back then. The grass thatwas involved was part of the same ounce I'd bought six monthsearlier—at a Cornell Homecoming, appropriately enough. SoI'd been doing all my smoking out of one ounce of grass forover half a year—not exactly a heavy doper.

The way I got busted was very complicated, but is typicalof how the police work, and an object lesson for people whodon't get along with their landlords and who have weak doors.Our story begins one winter in the unlikely locale of KansasCity. I was there on business, staying in a plush motel, livinghigh on an expense account, and I met a fellow who was onleave from some Air Force base in Colorado. He was dumbbut beautiful, and we spent a good week together. He gave mehis address back in Colorado, and several months later wroteme a couple of letters, talked of coming to see me in Chicagowhen he got out of the service.

Well, it seems that the kid went AWOL about the time westopped corresponding, and in his haste to leave, he left myletters to him behind. I can see the Air Force investigators now,reading my graphic descriptions. . . . Well anyway they got myaddress, and a few months later, in June, 1969, they sent theFBI to my apartment in Chicago to see if I was harboring theirairman.

As an undergraduate, Michael Kinney sang with the Sherwoodsand was president of his fraternity. Receiving his BA in Eng-lish, he served with the Navy before becoming an editor for amajor New York publishing house. He left that job of his ownvolition, and is currently working as a waiter in San Francisco.

The apartment, however, was tinyv and it was pretty hardeven to sit down with someone, much less harbor him; besides,I was in New York for the summer, had sublet the place to afriend. But the FBI was not to be daunted. They got my kindlylandlord name of Roger (who'd been suspicious of me anyway,ever since he came to my room one night and caught me string-ing beads—"Why you playin' with them little beads, you couldbe out washin' cars or something—you some kind of hippie?")to let them into my apartment. No warrant, and no desertedairman to be found. Having time on their hands, the investiga-tors must have decided to make their trip worthwhile by havinga look around.

In any event, four hours later three people from the narcoticsdivision of the Chicago Police Department showed up, knockedthree times, and without further ado kicked the door downand trashed the place. A friend of my sublessee was there atthe time, putting some laundry away, and was apparently kindof freaked to be folding underwear and suddenly find himselfup against the wall. He said they went straight for the desk,where the grass was kept, but didn't stop there. They emptiedout everything on my kitchen shelves, went so far as to strainmy grits, dumped all my books on the floor, took apart the airconditioner (it worked much better afterwards).

The laundry folder, who had by this time been frisked andleft to his own devices, reported that they spent an especiallylong time perusing my (if I do say so myself) rather super-finecollection of pornography. They made, he says, a big dealabout the fact that they weren't going to confiscate the pornog-raphy, though it was very clearly disgusting, because it wasunfortunately legal for private parties to possess immoral scumif they were depraved enough—you know, like "we're doingyou a big favor by only screwing you once instead of twice."Big deal.

They did have a warrant, which they left on my desk, atopthe rubble; they gathered up the grass and the entire contentsof my medicine cabinet ("acid," they muttered darkly to oneanother, inspecting my bladder infection pills of a previousyear) and they split.

Well. First I heard of all this was a few days later when Bill,the guy who was subletting the apartment, who had by thenput the story together after talking to his friend and the land-lord, called me in New York. Needless to say, I was scared.I had visions of losing my job, my father losing his, of long,lonely years in prison, of being beaten by police, and probablymore than anything I was furious that my favorite fantasieswere now a matter of public record in the form of those letters.Every time someone knocked on the door or phoned me forweeks after that, I expected to hear the sadistic chuckle of someFBI man come to get me—it was super paranoia.

After an immediate stash flushing, many phone calls, andmuch consultation with friends, I lined up a lawyer in Chicagoand ascertained that there was indeed a warrant out for myarrest. If I never wanted to go back to Illinois, it would havebeen cool just to ignore the warrant, and indeed, I never didwant to go back to Illinois (does anyone?) but unfortunately,my apartment and my worldly belongings were still in Chicago,and I had to go back to pack them up to be moved to New York.

Actually, I suppose I could have asked friends to do itfor me, but I suppose early toilet training or something wonout—you know, face the music, justice will Out in the Endkind of thing—so late in August, off I flew to Chicago to meetmy lawyer and turn myself in.

It didn't turn out to be so easy as all that, though. Once backin Chicago, it took me almost as much time and effort to givemyself up as it had to find out that I'd broken the law in thefirst place. We went down to the main police station to turnme in, the plan being that I'd get booked and go sit in a cell fora while while my lawyer (who looked alarmingly like MayorDaley—this was before I learned that all Chicago lawyers withany sense at all make it a point to look like Mayor Daley) wentto see this judge that was an "old friend" of his to arrange tobail me out and set a preliminary hearing^ date. But the manwho was supposed to book me wasn't around, and no one elsefelt like arresting me, so I had to roam the streets, rape andmurder in my heart for sure, until they could get it together toarrest me. We came back that afternoon, and had to wait anadditional two hours before they finally let me have my chance.

Everything had been cool up to now—my lawyer was by myside, I'd had my hair cut special for the occasion, I was allsuited and tied, and I was feeling pretty reasonable about thewhole thing. But then they took me in, and walked me aroundthe corner, and aaiieeeee! As soon as my lawyer was out ofsight, the television series policeman charm was gone. I wasthrust into a chair to be questioned while this dude filled out awhole raft of forms on me. It was like something out of an oldmovie, he being by turns casual and friendly up to the point ofasking an offhand question like "so you've been smokingpot for a long time, I guess?" My answer was always "I havenothing to say about that," and then wham, he gets up andglares and shouts at me "DO YOU KNOW HOW MANYYEARS YOU CAN GET FOR SELLING LSD?" I was madat myself for being scared of such a tired act, then more andmore scared for sure as I realized that logic and reason playedalmost no part in what was going on back there.

They took me downstairs to be finger-printed—I was trem-bling so hard they had to do it twice—then literally five police-men stood around me, all so close they were touching me; andbreathing down my neck and swearing and cursing me all thewhile, the way football players curse one another as they kneelin formation ready to charge and murder one another, theyfrisked me for concealed weapons, or dope, or whatever it isthey look for. Wsheew—that was the freakiest part of thewhole experience, right there man—completely in their power,surrounded, them taking out all their hate on me three inchesaway, and the desk sergeant or whatever they called the guybehind the desk, stuffed like a red Virginia ham into about fiveyards of stretched, tortured blue cotton uniform—he looked onsternly, hollered "what are you so scared of, punk?"

They put me in a cell in this huge, dark room that smelledlike a cross between a high school cafeteria and a New Yorksubway men's room, and a more cell-like cell I couldn't haveasked for. It had a wooden bench, bars in front, and three wallsof outasight graffitti. I was really kind of glad to be in it, feltmuch safer with bars between me and the cops. I settled downto read my book, which they had curiously let me keep whentaking my belt, money, and tie pin—appropriately enough, Iwas reading The Making of a Counterculture. Roszak couldn'thave asked for a better place or time for me to read his book.As I sat there reading, I began to feel more and more virtuous—after all, what could be more countercultural, more definitelyhip, than to be in jail?

But the hours began to drag. I was supposed to be out inan hour or so, and here it had already been four or five—Ibegan to feel distinctly less hip as I realized that it was dark

and 1 realized that I might have to spend the night there. ButI was soon distracted when they brought me a cell-mate, avery nondescript man in his thirties.

We got to talking and it developed that he'd just been arrestedfor selling dirty playing cards. He was a clerk at one of Chi-cago's friendly local neighborhood dirty bookstores, and hadsold a deck ("one of my best—it had dogs and everything!")of cards to a plainclothesman. Well—pornography being asubject close to my heart and at least indirectly responsible formy own presence there that evening, we fell into lively conver-sation and were soon fast friends. About that time the tradi-tional coffee and bologna sandwiches arrived, and things werereally cookin' just when they came to release me—I was almostsorry to leave.

I went downstairs, met my lawyer, signed some papers forthe judge, and split. I packed my belongings that night and flewto New York the next day, and that was the last I had to dowith Chicago or the police and with the bust in general. Mylawyer appeared at the hearing a few weeks later on my behalf,and in conference with the judge and narcs got the chargesdropped. It seems pretty clear that what happened was that theFBI, having entered my apartment illegally to look for the kidfrom the Air Force, had found the grass and reported it to thepolice, who were then able to get a warrant and come andsearch my place legally.

By a strange quirk, my landlord, who was the only personwho could have testified to the FBI's actually having been inmy place, left on a sudden trip to Europe a few days after thewhole thing happened. So my defense was based not on theFBI's illegal entry, which we couldn't prove, but on the factthat I didn't control access to the apartment, was not livingthere at the time of the raid, and was not present when the raidwas conducted. They would have had a hard time provingwhether I actually did possess that little peanut butter jar fullof heaven.

IN RETROSPECT, I guess the law didn't treat me so badly.'Course I had to sell my car to pay the lawyer for proving itwas a bullshit charge, but maybe that's what cars are for. Thething about getting arrested is, though, that it doesn't matterwhether or not you're guilty—you've been arrested, and it's amatter of record which practically anyone can check. Em-ployers and prospective creditors never seem to bother to askif you were convicted. If you were arrested for something, whythen you were involved in a morally questionable situation, andthat's all they care to know. What this means is that the policecan mess you up any time they want, and they don't have topay much attention to the legitimacy or legality of how they doit. It's the arresting that matters, not the conviction. And theresults are yours for life.

And of course there are some questions raised about pri-vacy, freedom to communicate as you please, to smoke whatyou please, to be who you please. And don't think that the Manever stops watching you, or ever forgets. Five months after Imoved to New York, the telephone rang one morning just asI was leaving for work. My caller identified himself as Mr.Somethingorother, of the FBI. Did I by any chance know thewhereabouts of a , who wasAWOL from the Air Force? Aiieee!

Slf0Ή0SHE NEWSPAPERS day after day document some world

. . . but that same world has Picasso in it, and you could just doa newspaper on Picasso and be much more in tune with thereal beauty that could be.

I meet people like Allen Atwell, who tells me how to wrestlewith certain pains, to forget about the work and to worry aboutseeing. He was saying that if you just drew and kept lookingand didn't worry about the product, trying to sell the product,trying to make this product, but just kept looking, eventuallysomeone will be interested in these marks you're making.

I've learned a lot through the. answers of Jesus, like "Thoushall not fornicate." My voice says, "Okay, here's this wholeway saying 'Thou shall not fornicate,' what are you going todo about it?" And there's been the sense that I've recently comeinto through The Gospel of Peace, which is that I have thepotential to be like Jesus, of being Jesus, as he says in his words:if you do my will, I will be in you.

And something I've read that Philip wrote, apparently wasthat "one man cannot recognize the beauty of another unlesshe himself possesses that beauty," so Jesus made his disciplesbeautiful so they could see his beauty. But otherwise peopledid not know who Jesus was. He could walk around withoutbeing just mobbed because people couldn't see that if they didtouch him or talk to him that he would help them. And theneven the people he did talk to often didn't understand. We our-selves are always missing each other. We don't appreciatehow beautiful we are.

And I've become aware of the nature of that which is keepingme and other people from really celebrating the magic of life.In The Gospel of Peace Jesus explains that we haven't been liv-ing by the laws of life, and if we were, life would constantlyreveal itself and everything would just start blooming. In thespirit of his image you could begin looking at these drawingsand you would know them. Life is just waiting to reveal itselfto us, but we don't always know why, but I've begun to seewhy we keep not being turned on. Jesus says it's because wehave death inside us, and the only way to get that death out isto fast and to pray.

It seems I'm always being called to roles of aloneness, likeI don't smoke dope. I'm always choosing myself out of asociability. I choose myself out of that and I'm united withsomeone like Van Gogh or Jesus or the Bowery bum. ButI don't feel the pain because I'm always choosing something

that has to do with a greater growth, a greater wholeness.Whatever we do of Satan's world we have to pay for. He

promises that if we put ourselves more in debt we'll be re-lieved of the debt we're experiencing. If I'm a heroin. addict,Satan promises that if I take more heroin I'll be relieved ofmy pain. The drag about heroin probably is that it's cooked.The drag about Bowery bums is that they're drinking pasteur-ized wine, they're drinking cooked wine. If they were drinkingraw wine, they would get healthy because they'd be eatingfood, and live food teaches you, whereas dead things teachnothing.

If you want to know what a chicken is and you kill it, it'sgoing to be hard to find out. If a man has live wine, it's goingto discipline him. It is his mother. Live wine would stop a manfrom drinking, it would hurt him until he stopped, just likemy dog bites the puppies until they stop nursing.

Tonsils, someone tells me, are the watchdog of the body,and if too many pollutants start coming in, they start reacting,a sign to a man that's he's got to check what he's putting intohimself. But instead of doing that he cuts them out. Manypeople won't believe these words, that life comes from life,so they go on cooking breads, cooking meat, and they say, no,this isn't true. They're going to have to wait forty years toget cancer from cigarettes, and even then they might not be-lieve, smoking did it to them.

Apple pie seems pretty neat, and everybody else is doing it.But then I realize when I do it that I have become everyoneelse, and that's frightening. At first it seems so innocent. Likeyou want to be like everyone else because everyone else seemsto be flowing. But all of a sudden you realize that, wow, that'sno place to be at all. And then, you know, being sort of adisciple of Jesus, it's an incredible transition to try to make.

In order to be an addict of the world, I would have to havesupportive systems. I'd have to employ myself somewhere andnot tell my employers that I think what they're doing is absurdso that I could have enough money to eat out of Satan's kit-chens.

I see a woman walk through the Architecture library wearinga white dress because she's the person that cleans up. Menare constantly given a chance to see the absurdity of what'shappening, but then they're not given the chance to do anythingabout it. She's got this huge, bulky figure because she doesn'trespond to the fact that eating too much is pain. She's had so

Peter Blouίn graduated from Cornell in February, 1966. Sincethat time, he has undergone several transformations but heldconstantly to his recognition of the wisdom of Jesus's words.A friend who was watching Peter at work on a sculpture sug-gested "Floating Clouds" as a descriptive name, which Peterapparently prefers to Blouin. Most recently, he has becomea student of The Gospel of Peace of Jesus Christ, a tract ofrecently-discovered words of Jesus, recorded by the DiscipleJohn. It is available, for seventy-five cents, from The Societyof Creative Living, 3085 Raynard Way, San Diego, California.

Peter's words have been excerpted from a taped interviewin which he delivered, almost non-stop, an extraordinarily con-sistent description of the relationships between, and the unityof, his religion, art, and life. His eyes are steady and will holdyour gaze, while a voice that suggests both calm and exhaus-tion patiently explains the oneness of religious and artisticvision.

Peter's drawings, two examples of which are on these pages,are currently on exhibit at the White Art Museum under the title"Peace Be With You."

much pain that she's given up trying to be beautiful. So theyput this uniform on her that reveals it all. She's imprisoned.

Most people, it seems, put in such a brief showing. . . . Theygo to church on Sunday and it seems like, wow, look at allthese people going to church. But six days and nights thatchurch is deserted, and on the seventh day you start being inthat family and you remember what it was like to go to church.You remember how little you saw, how little you really camein touch with those other people, and you start realizing whyit is that we're so lonely, why it is we can't connect.

When I eat cooked food I get sick. But other times I'm reallystrong. I was arrested in California because ten minutes earliera person of my description robbed a bank, bare feet and longhair, and it was in a city. Fortunately I was in possession ofmyself and I just played Jesus. I was just being at peace, andthey photographed me, handcuffed me, man they felt they hadme. Like, wow, bank robbery—ten minutes later they've gotthe guy, and I had money in my wallet, twenty-five dollars. It

might have been just the exact amount. They took me overto the detective station and this huge guy was there and he sortof grinned at me and said "Hello." And I just said "Peace bewith you." And he smiled at me. So I knew—I mean I just didn'tfeel alien.

Every once in a while I get very tempted by my pain to givein, and do a banana split. And in just doing it, just beginningto do it, I'll see the poverty, I'll see this huge woman insidethis little cage and everybody else is trying to celebrate Sundayoutside, and she's inside, oppressed by people, and I'll knowthat the food is cooked. Jesus says "You can sow cooked seed,but to think you're going to get a plant," he says, "forget it."

When you go into a restaurant, if you have to wait for some-one to prepare all these things, you've got to pay them for thetime, and you're paying to enslave them in that restaurant. Withlive food you don't have to worry about preserving it, it's justthere; and if you're hungry, you just eat.

Earlier in my life I thought, wow, Jesus's words often are

a heavy trip when your desires start wanting to do somethingelse. Especially for us, growing up, something like Thou shallnot fornicate started to mean people laying little subtleties ofthat one law, like you shouldn't touch too much or shouldn'tkiss too much and all these little tunes, and it starts becomingthis wall.

But now I come to learn that it's not a wall at all, it's a door,and if you go through that door, then you get life. I mean ifyou really follow the law, then what's happening is that youkeep feeling the wall until you feel the door. But otherwise,you just keep feeling the wall and you try to celebrate that.You try to celebrate woman this way and all you ever do iskeep touching what you see and you never go through, younever go through to highness. You only go through to illusion.

There's the confusion of you've got to go all the way throughschool in order to become. When you're given a gift like thatI've been given, you start seeing that you can't make it thatway, you've got to be direct. I'm not waiting for years to be-come a great artist. I'm just being it because I want to be it,and I've found out that you don't have to wait. All of a suddenI dug that about artists. They turn on to beauty and then theyjust start turning on to the fact that whatever marks they makeare unique.

I started to turn on to a certain understanding of Jesus'swords like "For God there's only life." So there's a sense thatif you just could do that which does bring you peace, thenyou're going to find your reward. In other words, yesterdaymorning I just stayed and drew because it gave me peace. Itturns out that's maybe what I really was meant to do, to sitand do those drawings. So I've started to adjust to that. In otherwords, Jesus says, "Don't worry about tomorrow. Today's prob-lems are enough." There's this nowness of our being together tocelebrate. Tomorrow I may be in Florida.

The little boy that's too noisy needs to be taught music,because everyone needs to be redeemed to what they are. Jesuscame to show us, incarnate, what a man really could be. Andthis is what I'm working on doing again. Heretofore, men putall their energies into products to show men what life couldreally be, and slowly men have also been working on them-selves as they've gotten rid of kings and hierarchies and gov-ernments, and men have become poets and writers and beat-niks and hippies, and people have started working on being,as Whitman and Thoreau did. And now everybody has thisincredible potential, at least in America, and a lot of primitivepeoples have had it, to just be themselves. A bird just sings, andJesus tells us, dig it, you know. And when you begin to digit, you begin to understand what he means. In other words,everything is just scripture until you begin to understand whatit means. You can document it, historicalize it and everything,but when you begin to understand what it means, then it'stotally different.

And Jesus says in The Gospel of Peace "Learn to play fromthe animals." Well, the goat's been chewing me apart in agroovy way. But I really discovered something—he's beenchewing the edge of my coat, and I had a feeling why he was,but it took me a little while to really get around to checking.Then when I checked I was right, there was grain because itfell into my pocket, and that's why he was chewing it. And along time ago when I began sleeping where I was instead ofchecking out that I had a place to sleep for sure, I learned frommy dog how to really handle it.

I'd go with my dog to a friend's place . . . and there were

about ten people . . . some of them smoking dope. I was hungryfor sleep and I had to rest, I didn't want to associate with any-thing, which is sort of a dangerous way to be, you know, towant to sleep somewhere but you don't want to associate withanybody. It's not the way to play the game in terms of theworld, but in terms of Jesus you might be all right. If one iswith the way, then one is meant to sleep there, it's all goingto work out.

So I walked in this place and my dog just went and he justlaid down, and I dug that's what dogs always do, and he looksbeautiful—so maybe I will too. Then you find people thinkit's a compliment if you're willing to go to sleep in their houseor go to sleep on them, with them, that you trust them, whichis sort of a nice thing to hear when you thought you had to bea little paranoid about going to sleep there. So I moved thechairs so I could sleep behind the couch.

And later the people that rented the apartment came intothe room—I knew they were there—and they walked out

again, and in the morning this girl, Kathy, said to me, "I knewit was you because no one else moves furniture around," andin the imperfection of things that's all I could do. I mean I ...I couldn't ask her . . . I couldn't offend her. I just had to tryto ride the wagon that it was really all right, and in many waysI could see it was really all right. There was a certain mirthabout the fact that Peter comes in, moves the furniture around,goes to sleep, and I hadn't bothered anybody.

Jesus is just revealing that if we would do the laws of life wewould begin seeing as an innate gift. We are innately meant tobe high. After my last fast, which didn't go all the way becauseof my own poverty, I thought about the peace I've sort ofattained. Gandhi did the same thing. Gandhi started his fasts,and there's a book on his fasting. "I may be crazy," he said,"but I'm the only one having to suffer for it. I'm not hurtinganybody else, and I'm digging," he said, "that it's really work-ing, things are happening. People outside of me are ' beingaffected."

Trumαnsburg Gets Ά Place1

It isn't surprising that she's 46, but that, she has any age atall. Elaine Gill couldn't have been much different ten ortwenty years ago, and despite her resistance to anything stag-nant, she doesn't seem likely ever to age. The force of herpersonality, which is just short of over-powering, seems drivenby a compulsive desire to know and to articulate the truth.There is little room for tact behind such an approach, butElaine doesn't care about that, and her view is so generallypositive, that it doesn't matter anyway.

Her words come fast, and with a unique sense of grammar,the diction credible but somehow grander than is common.Five minutes after she's met someone, she is likely to look athim carefully (with one eyebrow racing towards her foreheadwhile the opposite eye goes into a squint) and announce, "Youknow, I like you, you bring me great pleasure."

Elaine's a bit of an unlikely queen, married to John Gillwho spends most of his time writing poetry and operating asmall poetry press. Together, with a farmhouse in Trumans-burg, dogs, cats, two sons and numerous friends, they providemuch of the energy that hits the Ithaca art community inwaves: one senses an electric charge that slowly accumulatesand finally breaks through the last resistor; much of the tri-umphant energy is generated by the Gills. Elaine presides overfrequent meetings at her house with sweater-sleeves rolled overher elbows, serving up wine and cheese, discussing Dante,begging songs from a reluctant house-guest, and showing acustomer at Christmas where the cuttable trees are.

It could be that Elaine, out of consideration for John, hasdecided to move the locus of this energy, so that his deskwon't forever be littered in the mornings by ashtrays and emptycans. Maybe by founding a coffeehouse in the center of Tru-mansburg, she's giving John back a place where he can havesome quiet. Or perhaps John, shrugging his shoulders, willsaunter off to the Kosmos with one of the dogs, and thehome will be deserted during most of the day.

Elaine is one of numerous people who somehow lostinterest between orals and dissertation, and never finishedher PhD. She taught for five years but "they fired me—noPhD, and the faculty never did like me. They called memystical and unscholarly. They told me I was dangerous tothe college—I probably am. In other words it was a compli-ment. I was a very good teacher, but I'm very glad I'm outand I wouldn't have had the guts to get out on my own,

"I've always been smart in terms of books but I haven'talways been smart in terms of people. To become smart—I mean actively involved in life—is something I've neverdone before. In teaching you have an organized dream be-hind you, but in life it's not like that.

"I'm calling this place 'Kosmos' because it's like a mirrorof life: when I was teaching it was feeding food and theyreally didn't want it, but here I can give them food of alldifferent kinds. In other words, this place is theatre, I dobelieve in food and theatre going together. This place will

be the people who come: it's everyone—Mark, Susie, Matt, thepeople who will come to cook and make music and put onpuppet plays, poetry readings—it'll be everything—beer andwine license if I can get it, flicks every week if we can get pro-jectors; children's theatre, a place, there are very few placesthat are places, it'll be a place with any luck.

"I'm assuming with food that's good, and inexpensive, andas friendly as this is going to be—I'm neither hip nor square,I don't belong to either group, so why should this place?—people should feel comfortable here to read, to play chess. Kidscan come here after school: I'm going to sell penny candy. Inother words, the premise of the place is freedom."

Dan, the older of the Gill sons, comes in from school, wherehis classmates have been calling Muhammad Ali bad names,now that the fight is lost to Frazier. Dan asks his mother if shestill thinks Ali is the greatest. Yes. "Then he'll knock Frazierout in the rematch?" he presses. "I hope so," says Elaine,"most people don't like arrogance but I do. It can be a goldenquality." Dan nods and moves on to inspect new territory inthe building.

"The kids have been a great help to me, especially in thebeginning. Like that brick wall—a ten year old started bangingthrough the plaster, I don't believe in interfering with expres-sion, and he found the brick for us underneath. It's victory:a lot of things wrong have been done to this place: for instancea beautiful window in the bathroom was obscured, and therewere seven layers of paint on that piano. In other words theprevious owners were exploiting it. I believe in a place func-tioning, but with integrity. This place will have integrity again."

Fired from teaching, Elaine covered the Ithaca desk forthe Syracuse Post-Standard, but quit after six months. "That'sthe one point of my life where I considered myself a failure.People said 'stay on' but I felt like a whore: they expected goodthings of me, but basically I didn't think I was competent be-cause I wasn't a good enough observer of a structure I didn'tcare for. I believe in letting the new life in, the new culturewhich is music and the young—I thank God for them becausethey bring a new life—my way is to create my own counter-structure.

"The Ithaca Savings Bank helped me buy this. A man namedMacki, he was extremely helpful and courteous. You knowthey made sense because they can be counted on to reactlogically and to their benefit—but they're fair. I like the busi-ness community. My lawyer tried to dissuade me from it. But Ithought the move was logical and correct; after all, the oppor-tunity to renovate a three-story building—to bring life intoa tenement—isn't something you have every day. What I'mtrying to say is that work is good, you know it's like it's thebest."

Lor, the younger son, comes in; he samples and compli-ments Elaine's cake. "Have another piece," she calls to him.Then turning from the interview picks up the spatulέ. she'susing to plaster up the cracks.

GAY LIBERATIONBy Betty Mills '71

A.PPROACHING HIM in the Straight, I noticed thathe looked like any other Cornell student—long-haired, blue-jeaned, smiling. The difference, however, is that Bob Rothcandidly admits he has been a self-accepting homosexual sincehe was 16. A senior in the Arts College from Teaneck, NewJersey, Roth is a leading member of Cornell's small but activeGay Liberation Front.

Roth describes the GLF as "an educational organizationthat tries to provide certain services to Cornell and the Ithacacommunity." The membership is organized into five collec-tives, the most important of which is the ZAP Squad. Abouttwenty strong, this group is a public-speaking organization;when an appeal is made to the GLF, two or three members ofthe ZAP Squad go to the class or dormitory or fraternity housethat has issued the invitation. The GLF has made these sessionscasual and informative.

A recent issue of the GLF newsletter explained the ZAPSquad's function as follows: "The purpose of these talks is toeducate in two ways: first, by showing people that gays aren'treally that different from straights, and second, by filling inthe void of knowledge that exists in most people's heads con-cerning homosexuality—its effects on us, on them, on societyin general—we hope to bring all people, regardless of sexualorientation, a little bit closer together." Why call it the ZAPSquad?—"This is something almost unheard of before now—confronting people face-to-face with their prejudices, fears andignorance (hence 'zap')."

The GLF's office in the Activities Corridor of the Straight—its walls plastered with GLF posters and publicity—is thecampus center for information on homosexuality. Many stu-dents and professors involved in psychology and sociology.courses have consulted the GLF's library of literature on homo-sexuality, according to Roth. GLF members are readily avail-able for rap sessions in the office every afternoon. In addition,the GLF has sponsored a few dances in the Straight, whichprovide a chance for straight and gay people to mix socially.

Roth estimates the GLF has about 50 regular members,with another 150 "observers" coming to most GLF functions.The GLF has a great deal of sympathy from the radical com-munity at Cornell. The Women's Liberation Front has spe-cifically supported the GLF in its activities and goals. Rothdescribes the affinity between the two groups: "we're both try-ing to find alternatives to the family structure as well as changea society that dehumanizes women and totally excludes homo-sexuality." According to Roth, "the overall support the GLFgets from people we run into is good." He added, "We have

hardly been harassed at all in the last three years."One important incident did occur last fall, when the GLF

asserted its desire to meet socially at a Collegetown bar. Thehomosexuals were allegedly thrown out of the establishmentand retaliated with a nearly three-month long boycott. Theboycott ended in late February, when the GLF met with thebar owner, Morris Angell, to discuss their differences. Angellreleased a letter to the Cornell Sun, stating, "I admit that Ihave little interest in or support for homosexuals. I realizethat my attitude may have reflected negatively on my trans-actions with homosexual customers. If that has ever been thecase, I regret this, for I have no desire to offend or troubleany individuals or groups in the Ithaca community." Angelladded, "I do not seek to discriminate against anyone. You havemy personal assurance that pleasant and efficient service isavailable to all customers at all times."

The GLF has now picked another watering-hole. Rothsaid, "We just don't feel comfortable in Morrie's any more,but we have made sure that we can go back there when wewant." At the new favorite bar, the Haunt, "we have been re-ceived with open arms."

In a conversation with this reporter in mid-March, Angellstated his conviction that homosexuals should not congregatein one place, if they want to achieve equality in society. Headmitted that the GLF boycott had a measure of success inslowing down his business because of the support granted theboycott by many radicals and Collegetown street people. Angellsaid, "I firmly believe that in time the boycott would havepassed." He also maintains that many straight people used tostay away from the bar when the GLF patronized it. "Now,"he said, "they can feel more comfortable here."

In the letter to the Sun, Angell stated, "all I ask is to op-erate my business in a reasonable and fair manner, reservingthe right at all times to terminate service to customers be-having in an unlawful manner. A customer's private life andopinion is not of concern, nor should it be, to me or my em-ployees, or a factor in connection with service in my bar."He commented in our interview, "If a homosexual is out ofline, I will not serve him."

Roth states that the ultimate goal of the GLF is to achievea society in which there will be no need for a Gay LiberationFront. "Homosexuals must learn to be able to accept them-selves and to be accepted by society." His own plans includelaw school next year and a life devoted to "gaining a situationwhere gay people will be safer in society."

New Styles:Three Views

Professors Urie Bronfenbrenner '38, Joy Osofsky, and John Condry of the Department of

Human Development and Family Studies discuss with Contributing editor Geof Hewitt '66 the

manifestations of change indicated on the previous pages.

HEWITT: I should stress that this issue of the ALUMNI NEWSis not necessarily going to be entirely about students, butabout people who make up the Cornell community; whatchanges are there among people that you see as significant,indicating some kind of alternate culture or different lifestyles?BRONFENBRENNER: In the campus community. Well, I've beenon the faculty for twenty-two, twenty-three years, and there'sone change that's very clear to me and about which I havelittle question even though I have no hard data on the subject.This has to do with such simple things as attendance at classor the fulfillment of academic responsibilities. There is a veryclear difference in such matters as, say, noise in the classroom,attendance in the classroom, keeping of appointments by stu-dents, a significant change in that regard.

This is not happening so much in my classes because I makeit my business to create the kind of world that I think is neces-sary for education to go on. But I dropped in on a class yester-day, and it was absolutely impossible to hear what the speakerwas saying: people reading newspapers, chatting, makingsmall talk, whatever. It's not just a change in the students, butalso a change in the institution. It apparently did not occurto the instructor in charge of that class, even though there wasa guest lecturer, to say something about, you know, commoncourtesy.OSOFSKY: A lot of the students seem very attentive if there'snew, innovative material, or if a lot of special effects are used,audio-visual or this type of thing. But in terms of straightlecturing, it becomes very difficult to hold the students' atten-tion now.

A positive effect is that people have to become much moreconcerned about not only what they're saying but how they'resaying it. I think that in terms of presenting material it's almosta challenge to see whether you can present information and

May 1971

deal with material in a meaningful way, and also in a waythat's of interest tolhe students. But, on the negative side, ifyou're as concerned about being an actor as a lecturer, are youreally concerned with being an educator as well?CONDRY: Let me give you an example: one of the most popularjob applicants we've had here in the last couple of years wasa fellow who talked about mate-swapping. The consensusamong the faculty, in the department, was that his work wasn'tscientifically well done. But it was really sexy, and it captivatedthe audience.BRONFENBRENNER: I think the responsibility for this situationlies with the institution, not with the student. A modern profes-sor is supposed to let his students do their thing and he'ssupposed to do his thing, and that contributes to this business."I'm doing my thing, I'm reading the- paper in class becausethe guy isn't interesting me and . . . and to interest me hebetter do a song and dance or give us something sexy." Andwe are encouraging that notion because we won't stop theclass when this goes on. In a sense, I think we betray the stu-dent when we don't call the bluff on this kind of arrangement.But it's also, I think, more broad.

As I say to my students, the question is can you . . . will youfix it or will you throw it away? And I think we have, as aneducational system, tended to bring up a generation that seeswhat's wrong and then wants to throw it away and doesn't knowhow to fix it, because to fix it takes patience, it's boring, it'sdull and you have to fiddle and try, and that ain't very sexy.There's nothing wrong with the student except that we donot expect him to act like a mature, productive, responsiblecharacter.OSOFSKY: I think we have to differentiate to some extent be-tween the kinds of students we're talking about and the kindsof situations. Now, the course that you were referring to—Iam familiar with it also—in terms of the students not being

very attentive and being extremely unruly, is a required course,and that's an interesting type of issue that we're bringing up.

At least in this university, and probably the trend in many,is to eliminate the required curriculum. So there are very fewrequired courses anymore, and I think it brings up a tremen-dously important question in terms of educational structure.Yes, a student is in the university to educate himself; however, isthere any kind of structural framework that might be impor-tant in terms of directing the education and material that he issupposed to get out of it? Students can be most challenging ifthey do become interested, they keep making us rethink thediscipline.

But the major issue that I want to raise is that we do haveto differentiate between the kinds of students we're talkingabout, in what situation they find themselves, and then assesshow they deal with it and how we might deal with it.BRONFENBRENNER: I think the notion of eliminating requiredcourses makes sense, but I think the notion of saying "But ifyou take Course So-and-So, here is what its requirements are,"also makes sense. Then we would have the kind of excitementI'm now getting in one of my seminars—in which the studentshave to come up every three weeks with a finished, docu-mented paper with references. Each paper is then reviewed bytwo other students assigned as discussants.CONDRYf It makes sense that all courses ought to do thisthough. What you're saying makes sense because if you'regoing to have freedom, then you've got to be able to makemeaningful choices. And you can't make a meaningful4 choiceunless the instructor is willing to say beforehand, "This is whatI'm going to expect, this is what we're going to do."BRONFENBRENNER: The University Faculty just voted a reor-ganization in which the business of the faculty will be handledessentially by a much smaller faculty council consisting ofabout a hundred people, and there is no more small FacultyCouncil that really worries about problems in a small group.

What we're all talking about, is the phenomenon of aliena-tion. That was an alienated classroom that we were describingearlier. Alienation is apparent, as I'm saying, in the behaviorof students, and it's apparent in the behavior of faculty. Itobviously pervades American urban communities to a muchgreater degree than it does Ithaca, New York, but we're partof a larger society, and alienation is, of course, reflected in thedrug culture, in the lack of concern for the welfare of one'simmediate fellow man—that is, this tendency, for example,of our University Senate to concern itself with problems essen-tially outside the Ithaca and the Cornell community.

Someone in the Soviet Union once described a Communistto me as one who is so concerned with mankind that hetramples over people in order to help mankind, and I getsomething of that same impression from some of my liberalcolleagues and students—that their concern for evil out thereleads them to be oblivious to the immediate needs of thosearound them—the neighbor next door who's sick and hasn'tbeen able to get out of his driveway because of the heavysnow, nobody even thinks about him. You're off to your meet-ing to protest Vietnam or whatever it is, but I think in thelong run we're not going to lick the Vietnam problem unlesswe also worry about this guy next door.HEWITT: How does this compare with attitudes in the Fifties?Were people then more concerned with people next door?

BRONFENBRENNER: Yes. People were more concerned withnext door. They were also more loyal to "their kind," and morehateful of the difference. Now, that was a different kind of aproblem, and I'm not implying that the Fifties were better. I'mjust saying we're suffering from some different kind of diseasenow, and to my mind a more frightening disease because I thinkit's better to have a concerned evil man than an alienatedsociety.HEWITT: How are drugs contributing to all this? Are drugsresponsible for some of these changes?BRONFENBRENNER: Drugs are the symptom.CONDRY : It's quite obvious to many of us that this culture, thissociety, is in a great state of chaos, if not actually coming apartat the seams. The symptoms of this trouble are all around us,particularly in universities and in cities all over the country.But I certainly don't think drugs are a precipitating or causalagent.

Drug abuse is a symptom of what is wrong and it is as wide-spread among the "older generation" as among the young.When people refer to drugs they usually mean just amongstudents. That's obviously one part of the problem, but there'sthe broader problem of a whole society looking for a wayto avoid reality. When we start really facing what is wrongwith America, the drug abuse will disappear. By the way,alcoholism is still the major destroyer of people.BRONFENBRENNER: You mean in terms of numbers.CONDRY: Yes. In terms of numbers.OSOFSKY: What we're seeing in the universities in some waysis just a smaller illustration of what's going on in the broadersociety. First of all, our urban centers are being deserted anddestroyed, while people are moving out to the suburbs andtaking very little responsibility. The school systems in manyof the larger urban centers are having difficulties due to over-crowding and other related problems, and what is being done?

Well, because budgetary constraints are such, we're cuttingback on teachers rather than providing more teachers andmore schools. The problems are hitting us in the face, and

people seem to be just running away from them. And theeventual outcome of the fleeing is that the problems become

worse and worse.BRONFENBRENNER: And they catch up to you. They go ... theycome to where you are, yes. There's no hiding place.HEWITT: A. J. Mayer, our undergraduate correspondent,made the comment that the university has at one time beenat the vanguard of society, has been a cutting edge for social

change, but . . .BRONFENBRENNER: What . . . when was that? And he didmean in the United States, did he? ... It must have beenbetween 1959 and 1960 in the month of January or something.No, Γm really amazed at that comment.

Through the Fifties, the major picture that one had ofAmerican university students, was this was the dullest, mostsuperficial student community in ... in the world. It was theSilent Generation. I'm amazed at this statement because, sure,

I think we have, as an educational system,

tended to bring up a generation that sees

what's wrong and then wants to throw it away

and doesn't know how to fix it, because to

fix it takes patience, it's boring, it's dull

and you have to fiddle and try, and that

ain't very sexy.

—Urie Bronf enbrenner

there was this little period in the Sixties when we had someaction on the college campuses, but that could hardly be saidto have been as it was described here.

OSOFSKY: Having been a student myself at the time, I knowthat the active, aware students may have been a small minority,but they were vocal. There are, at least, two areas where stu-

dents played a very significant role: first, the early civil rightsmovement. There were a great number of students involvedin the movement, working for it and providing a substance

for it.BRONFENBRENNER: That was a golden moment, but it's a verysmall period of time.OSOFSKY: But the other period was the very early anti-warmovement. Not the one that finally developed when the ma-jority began to oppose the war about three years ago, butrather six and seven years ago in the early to mid-Sixties.There were a lot of students involved in the anti-war move-ment, having doors slammed in their faces and phones hungup on them. They may have provided part of the impetusfor the later change in opinion about the war.

BRONFENBRENNER: I think you're right. To me, it's sort ofthe period of nothing, then this little peak, and then back es-

sentially into resignation.CONDRY: I think the Chicago Democratic convention reallydamaged the anti-war movement among students because afterthat event they <iidn't see any chance of working throughestablished channels.BRONFENBRENNER: I don't see any mystery about their resig-nation. The society just didn't respond. It was eloquent, it

was clearly said, and it was done with dignity, and the societyjust acted as if nothing had happened. But there's another as-

pect of it.It's my contention that essentially we have been bringing up

—we, my generation now—have been bringing up (of course,with exceptions) a new generation which has been taught todo its own thing. If something breaks, you get a new one,and they don't know how to fix anything and they don't havethe patience, they don't like to do things that are grubby.

I'm reminded of an occasion—I don't think Dave Burakwill object if I mention this. One of my very close friendsin Hungary was really quite prominent in Hungarian revo-lutions, the whole stack of them, you know, and he'd been amember of the Party and he had been underground. And so Ithought it would be fun—I've known Dave for many years,he's an old student—if Dave could meet him and we invitedhim for lunch.

And during the whole thing Dave talked and our friendlistened, and after it was over he said to me, "This young man—is he a revolutionary?" And I said, "Why, yes. Yes, that'sDave Burak. He's a well-known revolutionary." He said, "Buthe doesn't have the discipline, he doesn't have the patience."He said, "There's a lot of Hard work involved in revolution."Well, one reason why I think we've had the resignation is theytried to fix it once, it didn't fix, and so they say, hell, can'tfix it.HEWITT: Does this all rely on one specific social class or isthis true of the lower-class and middle-class and upper-classtoo?BRONFENBRENNER: Well, no, I think there's some hope. I thinkprimarily we're talking about a middle-class phenomenon, butlook what's happening to the blacks. The most impressivething, I think, about what's happening with black Americansis that they want to learn how to do things and they believe thatone can learn how to do things.

One could argue that if one asks where is the promise forconstructive leadership in American society one would have

to point to black Americans as the source of strength becausethey are not saying you can't fix it and to hell with it. They arenot a movement that's moving into the drug culture. In fact,they are trying to move out of the drug culture.

OSOFSKY: But the problem is in terms of trying to fix it, tryingto learn, trying somehow to become part of the so-called Estab-lishment and then trying to effect some change. The problemthat is facing students today and wasn't facing my generation,even though we're not that far apart, is that, first of all, I'm

not sure that one can get into the system as easily anymore;it's much harder. Effecting change has been proven to be verydifficult. But then, even if one goes through processes of learn-ing and integrating material, jobs are very difficult to get at thepresent time.

What would seem to be an ideal combination is to maintainindividuality at the same time as one is incorporating informa-tion and developing new ideas. I think that this is partially theresponsibility of the student, but also a responsibility of theeducational establishment as well.CONDRY: I want to come back to this question of whetherwe're rearing children who are too critical and who don't havethe patience to fix things. I'm really not sure that's the wayto characterize it. It seems to me that we have taught our chil-dren a lot of ideals about the society, and it's quite evidentthat society doesn't fit the ideals, so young people and studentsdo appear to be hypercritical because they are painfully awareof the discrepancy between the ideal and the reality.

There's a lot of research that suggests that these kids reallyaren't very different from their parents in their ideals, thatthe young radicals very much agree with their parents aboutwhere America ought to be going. They disagree with thestrategy and the speed with which change can occur. Now,as to the question of whether kids are too impatient to fixthings, a lot of the adults, and a lot of the very responsibleadults in Congress, have been trying to fix the war, and racerelations since these problems became acute.

These people form a very substantial and very powerfulgroup, and they haven't been able to effect any impressivechange at all. So it's not clear to me that anybody can fix theproblems we're talking about.BRONFENBRENNER: Let me take you on there just for the funof it. I would say that there is one obvious way in which onecould do a substantial thing to fix things, and that is elect newCongressmen. If American young people were to take onseriously the business of electing a new Congress, the mecha-nism is there, they could do it. How can you argue that wedon't know what to do?CONDRY: Look, in 1968 the students worked like the devilfor McCarthy, went to Chicago, and some of those who weremost deeply involved and really working through the systemliterally got their heads knocked in by Chicago police. I thinkthat has had a very powerful effect.BRONFENBRENNER: I think John is, of course, right. Theytried it in the McCarthy thing, they got a terrible blow. Butthat's exactly my point. Our young people are not able to re-cover from a terrible blow, and I say we're to blame becausewe haven't taught them how to.HEWITT: How can you say that your generation hasn't taughtthis when yours is the generation which came up from theDepression and survived two of the world's worst wars?BRONFENBRENNER: Yes, but our notion was our kids shouldn'thave to have this problem, you know. Our kids should haveit easy. I don't want my kids having to work the way I workedand all that stuff. Sure, he can have the car, he can have thisand the other. Each generation is fixing its own childhoodin its children; that's irrational but human.

My generation is more permissive in its child-rearing thanmy parents were, and we don't want to be mean and nasty toour kids because our parents demanded too much of us. Ourchildren get to be adolescents or college students, then we say,"Why aren't they doing the things they're supposed to do?"And so we get this phenomenon in American society of a realhassling of the teenager, and he really gets hassled.

I don't put it beyond the realm of possibility that American

youth has the capacity of recognizing its own problem anddoing something about it, provided the rest of the society doesnot block that process, and I would argue we are blockingthat process. We certainly blocked it in Chicago. Chicago wasa great human tragedy, a terrifying thing happened in Chicagoto a whole generation. And that mayor, with his slice acrossthe throat, when he did that, was really cutting down youthall over the United States who were seeing him do that andthey knew exactly what that meant—that this was the caliberof the Democratic Party.

The younger generation can't do it alone. The older genera-tion has to be willing to give them the power, and then it hasto be willing to hold them accountable. In effect, say, "Look,if you don't do it right, we'll take it away," and I think that'sperfectly legitimate to say that.

Our society is based on philosophical

notions, many traceable to John

Stuart Mill, about each person being

able to take care of himself, to get

as many of the goodies as he's

willing to work for, and that each person

starts off in some sense equally.

This is simply and cruelly not

the case at all.—John Condry

CONDRY: Presumably part of the child-rearing process shouldbe learning to handle yourself in a lot of different situations,learning to make demands of yourself, so that by the time kidsget into college we should be able to give them a great dealof power and expect a great deal of responsibility, period. Ifwe take away that power because they don't do things the"right way," the way we think they must be done, then that'snot real power, it is meaningless. I think this is worse thanno power at all.BRONFENBRENNER: When I ask the Russians how they wouldevaluate their system of upbringing, they have just one com-plaint all the time, and that complaint is there's not enoughrecognition of one's duty to the collective. Then I go back toAmerica and I talk to my fellow Americans and they say"Fellow, our trouble is not enough individual freedom. Notenough individual freedom!" And I would say each countryhas exactly the wrong diagnosis of its problem.

Our problem is not that we don't have freedom. Our problem

is that we don't have real responsibility. We don't give kidsreal responsibility. We give them imitation responsibilities,but we hold onto the power. You see, compassion essentiallyis a restriction on freedom. We don't worry about compassion,and that's one of the problems of a society that's alienated.Compassion goes out the window.CONDRY: The fact of the matter is we don't give our kids realfreedom if we don't give them real responsibility too. There-fore, as with many other things, there's a semantic problem.We say we give our kids freedom. In fact, we give them theillusion of freedom, which, as I said earlier, may be more de-structive than being given no freedom at all.BRONFENBRENNER : We define freedom as the absence of con-straints.OSOFSKY: I think that the caution that perhaps has to be

introduced is that within this framework of structure andresponsibility there has to be room for the individual to move,and I don't think we're talking about so structured a situationor so much responsibility that this wouldn't be so. If the frame-work is there and defined and the groundwork is there, thenthe individual operates within that and that's where the indi-viduality comes in.BRONFENBRENNER: You have to have freedom of movementwithin a structure in which you have some power and in whichyou are then held responsible if you misuse that power. We'resort of slow on that kind of thing. We want to give people theillusion of freedom by saying, "Well, you know, you're freeto do anything you want to do except the things that I'mdoing."HEWITT: Are there specific examples of that?BRONFENBRENNER: Well, the most dramatic example isschools and pre-schools and the notion that parents ought tohave decision power over what happens to their kids. This

is a great issue in American society today in relation to daycare, in relation to the school system, and we're having hardtimes with it.CONDRY: Another example is in high schools, sometimes col-lege, where students are told: "Have your own student news-paper, you're free to do it, but the faculty watchdog commit-tee will tell you what you can print." That's the illusion offreedom and responsibility.BRONFENBRENNER: Here we're back in our old dilemma. Forinstance, the Cornell Sun is clearly, in my mind, an irrespon-sible newspaper, and the reason why it's irresponsible is thecommunity doesn't expect it or require it to be responsible.In many ways it's a disgusting newspaper for a university,and we blandly just allow it to continue to be this irresponsible,uninteresting sheet, to the point where the University nowhas to issue its own paper that deals with the substance of theeducational world. Now, I'm not saying that it does so ade-quately because it can't do it adequately because it's a com-pany newspaper. But in the absence of a community news-paper, a company newspaper is probably about as well as youcan do.HEWITT: I would like to have your remarks on what's hap-pening to the profit motive.BRONFENBRENNER: On my way to one of the meetings of theWhite House Conference on Children, I took a cab in Wash-ington, and the driver didn't know where my hotel was, and Ithought that's funny, a cabbie doesn't know. It turned out hewas moonlighting. This was in October and he was moon-lighting until Christmas in order to be able to buy presents,good presents, for his kids.

It turns out, of course, he doesn't see his children for thenext two months because he's moonlighting for them. I askedwhether he thought that it was more important for his childrento have this tape recorder or whatever it was he was buyingfor them, or himself. He says to me, "What do you mean,Mister?" Well, this to me is what the American value systemdoes. This man is a good father, but he is being the kind of goodfather that the society says he ought to be.HEWITT: Is this going to happen to his kids too?OSOFSKY: Well, how can it help but happen to his kids if that'sthe kind of model they're getting in the home situation? Itseems to me, by the way, that something's going to have tohappen to the profit motive if things continue the way they'regoing now for the next few years, the reason being that onecannot fulfill one's expectations. You know, it's very difficultto get jobs, it's very difficult to go into the things one wants to.

We have so many so-called "have-nots" in society who havebeen oriented for so long to become so-called "haves" thatwe're really talking about a total restructuring of society ifwe're going to change the profit motive. Maybe that will comedue to the influence of the present student generation.BRONFENBRENNER: I don't want to change it. I just want toadd some other motives to life besides that one.

(At this point, Mr. Bronfenbrenner excused himself fromthe discussion to meet with a seminar.—ed.)CONDRY: This problem of constantly demanding that peoplebuy more, get more, have more—essentially it's a heavy pres-sure toward hedonism. And the contrary demand that anycapitalist system makes, is that you put off rewards, delayrewards, wait for a while, so you can gain enough money to

May 1971 35

attain what you want.The two go against each other and the media bring this

buy-more buy-more demand right into your living room,screaming at you from the tube: "Go out and get some otherpiece of junk that you don't need." There's nothing humanin that situation. It doesn't say "spend more time with yourchildren, or spend more time just getting to know yourselfor somebody else." This aspect of the profit motive is destruc-tive to our society, in my opinion. I believe it represents abasic contradiction in the system.OSOFSKY: The focus—and this was the example Urie was giv-ing before—the focus is that everything can be better oreverything improved if you can buy something, rather than,maybe understand somebody or talk with somebody or havesome compassion or communication. Rather, buy it, givesomeone something, it will make it all better.CONDRY: Our society is based on philosophical notions, manytraceable to John Stuart Mill, about each person being ableto take care of himself, to get as many of the goodies as he'swilling to work for, and that each person starts off in somesense equally. This is simply and cruelly not the case at all.And it's not been yet demonstrated to the satisfaction of verymany people that, in fact, the society can function without alarge poverty class.

Until that model can be proven to work, it's still going to beconsidered a dubious model. Profit motive's fine as long aseverybody gets an equal share in the race, and right now, that'sjust a bad joke.HEWITT: Have the media in some way jumped on worthwhilecauses—and here I'm more or less speaking towards women'slib—and begun to shift the validity of that or co-opt it?OSOFSKY: The women's rights movement started to burgeonagain, as you know, in the early Sixties before it came to thefore in the media in the last two years or so. In a sense, youcould say that the fact that there's so much awareness abouta movement can be attributed to the media. On the otherhand, the media have always played up a very limited por-tion of the movement and have, in a sense, done some harm.One of the things that's picked up over and over and over againin this whole bra-burning idea. Well, in fact, there is no evidencethat a bra was ever burned in the movement; however, thiswas a very sensationalist idea that sounded exciting to presentto the public.CONDRY: One function of the media is to legitimate or dis-parage any occurrence in society. When they pick up on some-thing like this bra-burning issue, it just serves to disparagea movement.

What the media do is expose you to problems, not reallytell you much about them. Once you get involved in them,you find they're incredibly more complex than it seemed whenyou saw the thing on the news. I think the media contributegreatly to the alienation we were discussing earlier by exposinga lot of the ills of society, and doing so in a very, very super-ficial way. It doesn't need to be that superficial.

I find the treatment of women on TV just terrible. Forexample, when you get into the question of how children learnto be what they're going to be, a good deal of this comes fromwhat kind of models they see. Urie is interested in what kindof models teachers and faculty present to students. Well, themedia present awful models of women. Very seldom do they

present anything but a very narrow -conception of what therole of women can and ought to be. I think that's an exampleof doing something bad by not doing something good.HEWITT: It there a relationship between GLF and women'slib?OSOFSKY: It's interesting that that question is often askedin relation to women's lib, which may or may not be anotherattempt to delegitimize. That isn't to say that there isn't some-thing very important that the people from GLF are sayingand it's great that they finally can say it and have people listen,but the two movements may have different concerns and goals.

There are all kinds of people in the women's liberation move-ment, including women and men, heterosexuals and homo-sexuals.

There is also a common goal or a common concern of allthe movements in terms of freeing people from oppressionthat they've experienced within their particular minority group.

An interesting thing that one has to be aware of in termsof the women's liberation movement is that sexism is verymuch a part, not only of the culture, but of the movements aswell. Within the civil rights movement, the anti-war movement,and most other individual rights movements, women haveoccupied, in general, similar positions to the ones that they hadin the broader society. They were still not involved in deci-sion-making, in policy-making, in major roles within the move-ment, but, rather, were taking care of filling envelopes, making

coffee, and other similar jobs.In contrast, the women's liberation movement is perhaps

the most broad-ranging movement with the greatest of implica-tions because it's really talking about a restructuring of peoplein their everyday relationships.CONDRY: Some women seem to be pushing for what seemsto me almost a sexist thing, complete liberation of just women.To me it seems even more radical to argue for a liberation ofboth sexes from idealistic and unreal sex role standards.HEWITT: What about marriage? How does that fit into thewomen's lib picture?

. . . Sexism is very much a part, not only

of the culture, but of the movements

as wel l . . . [where] women have occupied,

in general, similar positions to the

ones that they had in the broader

society. In contrast, the women's

liberation movement is perhaps the

most broad-ranging movement with

the greatest of implications because

it's really talking about a restructuring

of people in their everyday relationships.

—Joy Osofsky

OSOFSKY: Well, I probably should have prefaced this, whenI started to talk about women's lib, by saying that I reallycan't speak for the movement. I speak as an individual withcertain ideas because it's a very, very diverse movement. Somepeople within the movement feel that marriage is totallyobsolete; others would disagree. Personally, I think that eithermarriage or some kind of intense relationship with anotherindividual can be very satisfying, and we have to be concernedwith restructuring the marital situation and redefining it invarious ways to make it not an oppressive but mutually satis-fying situation.

The kind of proposal that I find most favorable is theandrogynous type of marriage where we're concerned aboutindividual development of the partners in the marriage. Withinthis situation, they can both develop individually, showing

mutual consideration for each other, and taking mutual re-sponsibility for all the necessary activities, rather than definingbehavior and jobs in terms of one's sex.

As I mentioned earlier, some people feel that marriage isobsolete, and that we have to find other styles of relationships,whether they represent group marriages, communal living, orwhatever. Also, a number of people in the movement feelthat marriage is such an oppressive state that there's no hopefor it. Being realistic, a mutually satisfying androgynous mar-riage is difficult to achieve.CONDRY : I'm one of those that thinks that marriage is obsolete.It seems to me that with marriages you have the state meddlingaround where it hasn't got any business—in interpersonal rela-tionship between a man and a woman. Now, when that relation-ship results in a child, then, I think, and then only does thestate have some right to a say in the matter. What I'm tryingto say is that the whole society ought to be more concernedabout the lives of children, and less concerned with what adultschoose to do when no children are involved.

I just don't think that interpersonal commitment ought to bein any way filtered through the state so you can turn to yourwife or husband and say, "I'm still with you only becausethere's a law that makes it difficult to dissolve the relationship."HEWITT: You're both married, right?CONDRY: Not to each other.HEWITT: Has your work with women's lib entered into yourmarriage at all?OSOFSKY: I was involved in the movement before it waswomen's liberation, when it was just the women's rights move-ment. Actually, my husband was involved as early as I was,which is interesting. My husband has been very sympatheticto the goals of the movement, and in our marriage there'sequal sharing of responsibility. Equal consideration is given toboth of our professions in terms of where we live or what wedo with our lives. Yes, it very definitely enters into, and in-fluences, a marriage.HEWITT: In Two Worlds of Childhood, Bronfenbrenner urgesthat we mitigate the strains that professional life puts on thefamily, together with day-care centers that will involve wholecommunities in the activities of their children. Are these sug-gestions progressive enough to revitalize the family structure?CONDRY: It's too bad he's not here to answer that. The wholesituation of mobility in the United States is part of what cre-ated the weakening of the family, yet there is no evidence thatwe want to be less mobile. Then there's the earlier question ofwhether you're going to buy every new thing that comes along,and have a home in the suburbs, and three or four TV sets.As Urie noted, these activities tend to interfere with familyrelationships. It seems to me these changes are still going onand are still militating against families, and I don't think onecan simply say "let's go back to an earlier age."OSOFSKY: To me the issue is whether we're going to go forwardand experiment with new methods of child-rearing and newfamily relationships; but even if we go backwards to what wasgood—and not all of that was good either—the most importantthing is to focus on the relationship between the parents andthe children. If people are going to have children they shouldfeel that they want to spend time with them and relate to them.Whichever method of child rearing works best for an individ-ual family would seem to be the most crucial issue.

A Culture Shifts GearsBy A. J. Mayer '71

O F THE 980 households receiving federal foodstamps in Tompkins County, 210 are studentapartments. Most of the 565 students who livein these apartments attend Cornell.

"My parents are putting me through college," explainsGloria LaLumia, a Cornell junior who receives the stamps,"but it's really hard. It's a typical middle class bind. I thinkI should be entitled to the stamps."

Says another Cornell student, also a welfare recipient: "Idon't see why students and food stamp users should be mutu-ally exclusive. If I was hurting somebody else, I suppose Iwouldn't get the stamps. There are some students who reallyneed them, though."

According to Donald G. Dickason, director of admissionsand student personnel at the College of Engineering, about30 percent of this year's graduating class will take jobs inindustry, while 55 percent will go on to graduate school. "Itused to be that most of the remaining 15 percent went into theservice," Dickason says. "But that's no longer the case. They'rea mixture of unknowns. I'm not sure what they'll wind updoing."

Dick Pieper is a senior in the Arts College, majoring ingeo-chemistry. He had decided to forego several attractivejob offers and instead plans to "live somewhere out in thecountry" and learn to design and build furniture.

"I've seen too many people go insane trying to stay sanein the,nine to five rat race," he says. "I don't think I'm beingan escapist, except in the sense that I'm escaping to somethingrather than from something."

More and more students are giving up plans for furtherstudy or careers in industry and, like Pieper, are turning tomanual—and, in cany cases, menial—labor. Perhaps as manyas ten percent of this year's graduating class will go this route.

"It's a way of escaping the middle class by learning to workwith your hands," says Cornell Sun editor Howard Rodman.

Three years ago, SDS at Cornell had little trouble attractingtwo or three hundred students to a meeting. Fewer than adozen showed up at the radical organization's most recentgathering a few weeks ago.

Last spring, several thousand Cornellians turned out toprotest the Cambodian invasion. This fall, fewer than 600took advantage of the "Citizenship Recess" to work for politicalcandidates. About 100 of these students campaigned for JamesBuckley, the victorious Conservative Party candidate for theU.S. Senate.

In February, not even twenty percent of the students votedin the University Senate elections even though, for the firsttime, they were electing two of their number to serve on theBoard of Trustees. And early in March a contract reservinga fleet of buses to transport students to Rochester in protestof a visit by President Nixon was cancelled: too few studentsindicated any interest in the demonstration. (The Nixon visit

was subsequently cancelled because of a severe snowstorm.)

While there are no reliable statistics concerning how manyunmarried Cornell students of opposite sex there are livingtogether, the figure has been conservatively estimated as beingbetween one and two hundred. Said a recent front-page ar-ticle in the Cornell Sun: "The idea of living together is toler-ated, if not accepted by most Cornell students."

"It's not such a big thing to stay together," said one fresh-man coed who lives with her boy friend. "Still, it takes a whileto find the right person."

Most unmarried couples disparage the notion that theirliving together is the result of a decaying morality and in-creased promiscuity, noting that couples living together aregenerally more serious and stable in their relationships andare rather more monogamous than their unattached class-mates.

"Basically," said one sophomore coed, "it's just nice to havesomeone to come home to."

Ever since the spring crisis of 1969, white students and blackstudents at Cornell have tended to go their separate ways. In-tegrated social functions are rare, and by unspoken agreementthe first five tables on the south wall of the Ivy Room in theStraight are generally reserved for black students.

"Sure I feel bad about it," said a long-haired, white senior,"but in a way it's inevitable. We've each got to do our ownthing in our own way."

Despite everything, many students still watch massive dosesof television. Favorite programs include Star Trek, DickCavett, NET's Civilization series, and most late night movies.

Slightly more than half of all freshman men (about 52 percent) accepted bids to join fraternities this year. This markedan increase of a few percentage points over last year, the firstsuch increase after three years of steady decline. Though sev-eral houses have been forced either to fold or merge over thelast three years, Cornell still has more fraternities than anyother university in the nation but one (the University of Illi-nois).

The use of marijuana and its derivative, hashish, at Cornellis, to put it mildly, a way of life. Since it is an illegal activity,no statistics are available concerning just how widespread potsmoking is, but it is probably safe to say there are more stu-dents who turn on than there are who don't. Almost certainly,if a student here has never smoked marijuana it is not for lackof opportunity.

While the use of amphetamines, barbiturates, and psyche-delics such as LSD and mescaline is still evident, the popularityof these drugs on the Hill has shown a marked decrease overthe last two years. Use of hard narcotics such as heroin isvirtually non-existent at Cornell.

May 1971 39

Despite the statistics, despite the drugs, despite the so-callednew -morality, despite the cultural drop-outs, despite the rockmusic and the communes, despite the leather shops that lineAurora Street, despite the Alternate Bookstore, despite all thiswhich could lead one to believe that whatever it is that is hap-pening among young people today is happening here and nowat Cornell—despite it all, the main thrust of what has beenrather officiously labeled Youth Culture has passed Cornell by.

Indeed it has passed most if not all American universitiesby, and for the first time in perhaps, a decade the universitiesare no longer in the vanguard of social and cultural change.In large part, this was inevitable. For though the universitywill always be more flexible and tolerant of cultural experi-mentation than the society it serves, the very fact that it doesserve society means there are certain limits beyond which itcan never go—not because it does not want to go further thanit does, but because it is so constructed. The American univer-sity does not exist in a limbo, nor is it merely beholden togovernment and industry for support. No, the American uni-versity is an outgrowth of government and industry, or at thevery least an affiliate of them.

One may, of course, damn this state of affairs or praiseit. But one cannot escape its meaning: if a cultural revolutionis indeed afoot, though it may have started at the universities,it soon left them behind.

One can see this even without fully understanding whatthis thing called Youth Culture is all about. One can see thisby noting the more obvious manifestations of the culture, thesuperficial trappings that make this, and any other culture,visible—in this case, drugs and radical politics, naming two.Three or four years ago the use of illegal drugs by students wasalmost exclusively confined to the college campus. Today, to saythat it has seeped down into the junior and senior high schoolsis to use too mild a word. It has not seeped down, it has cascadeddown. And the same goes for radical politics, meditation,underground rock music, or anything else one can think of.

And what of the colleges? It used to be that as far as thehigh schoolers went, the college students went further. Butone can only go so far. The nation has wondered why thecampuses have been so quiet this year. Why, after five yearsof unrest and turmoil, are the universities silent? Various ex-planations have been offered: the calm before the storm, theenergy is all spent, the inexorable press of studies has finallycaught up with students. But the real reason is that the campusis, if you will pardon the vernacular, no longer where it'shappening. No longer does the student have to wait until hissophomore year in college to be exposed to drugs. Now hecan turn on and flip out in his sophomore year of high school.The alternatives to college are much more evident than everbefore, and today's high school students are, in large numbers,taking advantage of this state of affairs. A few years ago a highschool student could perhaps dabble at the fringes of the cul-turally acceptable, but after all, there was simply no other roadfor the middle class, white youth but that to college and ca-reer. Today, it has become obvious that it is only one of a num-ber of roads, and though the vast majority of students stillfollow it, their numbers are decreasing.

In this light, it is no wonder that the campus has been quietthis year. And it is ironic that some alumni, in a frantic andfutile attempt to "protect" the university, badgered admissionsofficials only a year or so ago, insisting that they find someway to weed out the potential troublemakers. It is ironic be-

cause the kids did it themselves. The kid who had the poten-tial to become a freak, to reject the American ethic, to devotehimself to a new culture with new (or, at least, different) valuesis now realizing this potential earlier. And, after all, whatchance is there that today's high school student, into speed,the Rolling Stones, and revolution, would wind up at Cornell?that he would want to wind up at Cornell?

Who is winding up at Cornell? This is all an educated guess,mind you, but one could safely assume that incoming classeswill be a bit less creative, a bit less willing to innovate, a bitmore clean cut, a bit more conservative than their predeces-sors. The Cornell classes of 574 and (one would assume) '75,'76, and so on, are quite out of the mainstream of Youth Cul-ture. If they weren't, they wouldn't be here at all. They aretravelling on the traditional road, they are part of the estab-lishment (albeit a younger one, perhaps even a newer one).They may wear their hair longer than their parents would like,they may smoke marijuana, they may indulge in premarital sexquite bereft of any of the socially sanctioned guilt feelings—but they are still very much part of their parents' America;indeed, they are accepting their parents' America with onlya few superficial changes.

A T THE HEART of what we call Youth Culture lies arejection of the scientific world-view, a rejectionof the notion that technology has given us thecapability to solve all our problems, a rejection of

the idea that, given enough technology, no problem is in-soluble. The Youth Culture seeks to reassert what are ratherambiguously called "human" values over our alienating tech-nological values. In a way (though this borders on over-simplification), it is a reflection of the age-old debate overwhich should serve as one's guide: the heart or the head.

America's universities, whatever else one may wish to sayof them, are firmly and irrevocably committed to the rule ofreason, to the ultimate supremacy of the intellect. And thosewho attend the universities, by their very attendance, arethrowing their lot in with this scientific world view. Certainlymany, if not most, students seek to reform our worship oftechnology. The massive student participation in the ecologyand consumer protection movements quite obviously reflectsthis. But as a political revolutionary seeks not to modify thegovernment he opposes, but to overthrow it, so too does thecultural revolutionary laugh at the attempts to make more"human" a technology which to him seems evidence of afutile misunderstanding of the most irreconcilable of conflicts.

There is a tragedy in all this, though not necessarily thatthe technological culture can be reformed after all. (Whetheror not that is so is something we probably won't know untilit finally happens, or does not.) No, the tragedy here is thatof the pendulum. The most creative and sensitive young peopleare driven to reject, and rightly so, the overwhelming im-portance we have placed on the scientific world-view; but intheir rush to reject they wind up embracing a sterile anti-in-tellectualism, quite possibly without being aware of it at all.There is a dialectic in operation here, one that, as TheodoreRoszak has suggested, "Marx could have never imagined."And, once again it seems, we are merely its victims. Thetragedy is that articulated by Goethe: "Nothing," he observed,"is more inadequate than a mature judgment when adopted byan immature mind."

BOOKS by Geof Hewitt '66

Making childhood work

Two Worlds of Childhood: U.S. andU.S.S.R., by Urie Bronfenbrenner: NewYork: Russell Sage Foundation, 1970.

• This is a book of immense importance,one that should be read by every parentand by anyone who agrees that the futureof our society relies on the proper devel-opment and training of our children. Bron-fenbrenner's prose is free of psychologicaljargon; this is one of those rare books thatcommunicates a highly complex mattersimply, without simplification. And it isshort enough (166 pages of text) that thewhole message comes through in one ortwo brief sessions.

Two Worlds of Childhood, in twoparts of three chapters each, first de-scribes Bronfenbrenner's observations dur-ing seven visits to the Soviet Union from1960 to 1967. With several photographsand many illustrative anecdotes, this sec-tion describes the means and positive so-cial effects of collective training.

Bronfenbrenner systematically analyzeseverything from the way a Soviet motherholds her infant to the concept of "link"responsibility, in which the school-agedchild is accountable not so much to him-self as to a small, arbitrary group of stu-dents within the classroom. When theindividual is praised, his achievement isgenerally associated with his group. Simi-larly, failure to perform adequately canresult in castigation from other membersof the link.

"In this system the children's collectivebecomes the agent of adult society and themajor source of reward and punishment.The latter typically takes the form ofgroup sanctions expressed through publiccriticism and, ultimately, the threat of ex-clusion from membership. The individualis taught to set the judgment of the groupabove his own and to subordinate his in-terests to those of the collective."

Through psychological tests, Bronfen-brenner has found the average Sovietchild far less capable of entering into"antisocial" acts than his American coun-terpart: additionally, "when told that theirclassmates would know of their actions,American children were even more in-clined to take part in misconduct. Sovietchildren showed just the opposite ten-

dency. In fact, their classmates were aboutas effective as parents and teachers in de-creasing misbehavior."

Bronfenbrenner also shows us the bleakpersonal realities of a society which isostensibly doing a better job than we ofraising its children, then continues witha patient and realistic evaluation of whatwe can do to improve the lot of our ownoffspring—and consequently of America—without sacrificing the strengths of ourtolerance for the individual.

Many of our children begin the daywithout breakfast. A significant part of theSoviet school system is adequate nutri-tion: "oranges were selling at fifty centsapiece . . . if you were lucky enough tofind a kiosk that had the fruit . . . childrenin nurseries and kindergartens were re-ceiving free oranges daily."

Bronfenbrenner is particularly carefulto outline the vicious cycle that resultsfrom chronic malnutrition, and the deva-stating effects of that cycle on minoritygroups. "Organic debilities, of course, re-sult not only in intellectual dysfunctionbut also in discouragement. In this man-ner, they play a part in evoking expecta-tions of failure, the readiness to give up inthe face of difficulty, and the low level ofaspiration observed in Negro children, es-pecially among boys." Such, says Bronfen-brenner, is the impact of discrimination,for which society will ultimately pay, "re-habilitating its maimed members and, inthe bargain, suffering the blows of theirjust anger and resentment."

Two Worlds of Childhood is so verballyprecise that no review of this length cando it justice. Every page offers substantialevidence that our present system is en-tirely inadequate; Bronfenbrenner doesnot recommend that we adopt the Sovietsystem, but clearly explains reforms thatwould have significant beneficial effects inAmerica—both within the school andwithin the family.

In his most disturbing chapter, "TheUnmaking of the American Child," theauthor provides statistics which show thatour current neglect of children is pervasiveat all levels of society. The middle- andupper-class child is plopped in front of atv, where by the time he is sixteen, he hasbeen saturated with "12,000 to 15,000

hours of television . . . the equivalent of15 to 20 solid months, 24 hours a day."

Bronfenbrenner draws from the well-. documented experiments of colleagues toshow that violence of any type, whetherprovided by Mickey Mouse or MarlonBrando, is contagious and antagonistic.One study has shown that ten minutes' ex-posure to "an aggressive model" has de-monstrable effects on a child six monthslater. The evidence is frightening indeed,especially when one considers the bland"non-violent" alternatives—Sesame Streetexcepted—currently offered by the net-works for children.

Bronfenbrenner's final two chapterspresent rational methods for raising ourchildren, methods requiring little sacrificeon the part of adults, methods that willbenefit everyone concerned. He asks ifbusiness might not take a more definitiveinterest in its employees by allowing fami-lies more time together. He explains thenecessity for community centers wherepeople of all ages can participate in grouprecreation and learning.

The American child spends twice asmuch time with his peers and with tele-vision as he does with his parents, whomight serve as ideal "models." Bronfen-brenner's reforms are not so sweeping thatthey would require a total reorganizationof society; rather, he is asking for a re-valuation of priorities, a society that rec-ognizes its future in the hands of its chil-dren.

Two Worlds of Childhood is fascinatingand scary. The solutions are within reach,requiring little more than a recognition ofthe importance—and joy—of associatingwith children, and providing for them atotal environment, a community if youwill, where curiosity is met with interest,where interaction is not limited to thefamily unit gathered before the tv.

The hootenany spree of a few yearsback—brought to us by television—oughtto serve as some sort of evidence that weneed this sense of community, rather thanthe age-segregated worlds of rock, bridgeclubs, and whatever other American recre-ations we have developed which exploitand further the much-decried generationgap.

ATHLETICS by Robert J. Kane '34

Retirement time for three

• The CUAA will never be the same.This June Grace McFerren, Norm Padula,and Doc Kavanagh will retire. This is anannual thing for Doc—he's the Harry'Lauder of the athletic training business—he makes a farewell tour every year, butI'm afraid this time it's for real. It's stillhard to imagine, though.

Grace oame right out of DickinsonCounty High School, Chapman, Kansas,to Cornell, worked in Home Economicsfor a year, and then came to graduatemanager Rym Berry's office as bookkeeperin 1924. She has been there ever since andis a lot more than a bookkeeper and hasbeen for many years. She's the sturdy,veracious, and stalwart custodian of theadministrative part of Cornell's athleticbusiness and whatever else you mightthink of it—wins and losses and ephemeralike that, it is the largest program in thecountry and the amount of team travelingand equipment buying and fee paymentto officials, the administrative goings andcomings and those of coaches and themultifarious other minutiae are almosttoo overwhelming to conceive of. But notfor Grace. She's a steady hand at the throt-tle. She used to run the ticket office too.

She is held in the highest repute by thosewith whom she works and that is a com-pliment to treasure, for she's not an easymark. One would feel adjudged almost byGod himself if he were ever tempted toplay cozy on an expense account withGrace. It is intimidating to even thinkabout it.

Last year an anonymous former mana-ger of one of our teams sent us a checkfor $53 which he stated was the result ofsome undescribed peculation on his parton one of the team trips and which hewanted now to make right. The poor guyhas probably been haunted by the spectreof Miss McFerren's skeptical appraisal ofthat report on a day long ago and hewished to unburden his laden spirit beforeit burst.

She will be greatly missed, not only forher competence, but for her genuine inter-est in the teams, and for her uncommonlygood common sense, her knowledge of thehistory of almost everything that has takenplace in and around and behind the scenesof Cornell athletics, and just because she's

a real nice gal. Her unfailing dignity, herenjoyment of good conversation, her in-fectious laugh, her uproarious, frighten-ing sneezes, are all part of the scene.

A few years before she chose us towork with, .another star came on the staffin the person of Norm Padula, in 1919,shortly after he arrived from Fondi, Italy.He worked on the grounds staff underFloyd Darling, and became foreman him-self in 1950. When he became boss no onetold him, apparently, that you were notsupposed to work as hard as the minionsunder you, for he always did.

Norm supervised by example. Heworked so hard and so diligently theyounger ones were ashamed not to dolikewise. Those that had no such shamefound themselves soon seeking other em-ployment. He gave CUAA a day's workfor a day's pay for 52 straight years. Whata beautiful testimonial.

Norm was a glistening expert at his jobtoo. He knew soils and turf and fertiliza-tion, and he kept up with their latest bestcare methods. And he kept abreast of allthe new rules in football, basketball, la-crosse, and the rest. He didn't need some-one to tell him. He found out.

No one could set up for a track meetbetter than Norm and I think this was hisfavorite sport, just the way, I guess, atroublesome child sometimes becomesyour favorite. One of the reasons theHeptagonal Games indoor meet, with theeight Ivy colleges and Army and Navy,has found such an enduringly happy homefor the past 19 years at Barton Hall, afterunsatisfactory stops at Boston and NewYork, is the devoted expertise of NormanPadula.

His use of his new language never be-came, er, impeccable. He still says "fixada dime" in describing preparation of HoyField for a baseball game, and other suchidiosyncratic expressions, but he is alertto the state of world affairs, and the stateof campus affairs, and he nevertheless re-mains fairly cheerful in spite of this drearyintelligence. And he sent his two boys,Armand and John, to Cornell.

For my own selfish interests I havepleaded to keep him on the job everyyear for the past twelve years, for at 77years of age he is that many years beyond

Norm Padula, Grace McFerren, andDoc Kavanagh.—Photo Science

the regular retirement age, but this yearI failed. And it was not because Norm isnot just as bright and active and produc-tive as he always has been, for he is, butbureaucracy finally prevailed over reason.

Some evidence of my administrativedynamism could have been observed if,heaven forfend, anyone had watched melast week quakingly breaking the news tohim that he had to retire June 30. Howabout that: quaking because I had to tella 77-year-old man it was time to retire!He took it with a shrug and not muchverbal response and I nervously tried tofill in the uncomfortable gaps in our col-loquy, to little avail.

As I dolefully walked away he musthave felt some commiseration for me, forhe overtook me and took hold of my armand said earnestly: "I know, Missa Kane,you couldn't do anything about it." Therewas a slight hesitation and he added, "Ilike working for you." A great surge ofwarmth ran through me. It was the nicestcompliment I think I ever received.

Another "post-retirement employe," asthey call them in the Personnel Depart-ment, is. Frank J. Kavanagh. Doc is 72and vibrant and youthful, and lately en-tranced with hockey, after 30 years as afootball trainer. For the past couple ofyears he has been trainer for our nation-ally renowned team and has enjoyed him-self immensely.

He loves the hockey players and theylove him, and he had a fine relationshipwith former coach, Ned Harkness, andhe and new coach, Dick Bertrand, are likefather and son. That is, like a father andson who love and admire one another.Dick will miss him, as we all shall.

But Doc will still be around, we hope,just as we expect Grace and Norm willbe too. But they won't be around everyday and I can tell you the withdrawalsymptoms will hurt real bad. The^e threegave a lot to Cornell University.

We don't usually adver-tise but this is not a usualyear.

Before you send yourdaughter to a boys9

boarding school, thinkabout these questions:

—Will she have a programwhich recognizes the exist-ence of two sexes?—Will her curriculum recog-nize that girls are generallytwo years ahead of the boysin their verbal skills?—Will she be President orChairman or Editor of any-thing?—Will she be free of thevicious dog-eat-dog competi-tive pressures forced on theboys' schools by the men'scolleges?—Will she live in an environ-ment where some of thegraces and manners whichcharacterize civilization areheld?—Will she find it possible tolive at least part of the timein a girls' world where shecan grow to maturity at herown pace?—Will she find the emotionalsupport that a girl needs inthe systematically maskedemotions of a boys' world?

We know that she willnot be a second-class citi-zen in a first-class girls'school with a first-classcurriculum.

Alumni notesSend news of alumni to the Cornell AlumniNews, c/o the alumnus's class if you knowit, 626 Thurston Ave., Ithaca, N. Y. 14850.Addresses in the following columns are inNew York State unless otherwise noted.

'03 ME-Gus J. Requardt '09 writes:"Herbert Finch, curator and archivist hasannounced the receipt of volumes« ofmusical material from the estate of EddieBurns '03. It consists of bound volumes ofsheet music and the original words of manysongs that Cornellians have sung over theyears. Eddie was musically inclined and hehad a true voice for every note in every songhe ever sang. His collection on the marketwould be worth a million dollars. It is nowavailable for Cornellians on the campus whocan apply to the music dept. of the university.From personal knowledge I know that theEvening Song and "In My Castle on theSunny River Nile" are wrongly sung by manyCornellians. Eddie Burns' collection has theoriginal and true words."

ί lU The Ag College has released newsV/*y of a $15,000 endowment for their

communication arts dept. from Ros Edlund,as well as his usual Tower Club size gift tothe Alumni Fund. Pink's interest, as a leadingundergrad debater and speech maker, is un-derstandable.

The Youngstown, Ohio Vindicator used awhole front page of its Sunday rotogravuresection with photos and comment on JimniBuchanan feeding peanuts to birds in Youngs-town's Mill Creek Park. They eat out of hishand, after 27 years' practice, four times aweek.

Avon Products put out a Jan. news releaseon the celebration of Honorary ChairmanVan Clark's 50 years of service. Rememberhis supplying after-shave lotion for the menand toilet water for women at our 60th?

I was in touch, often with Mrs. Ebeling,with many classmates in Florida this winter.Ed Mayer had trouble finding time for us tocatch him home with Mrs. M. He's been busytaxiing and doing other chores for 8 grand-children in one family. We found ClarenceHand sitting it out in his fabulous Spanish-type Miami Beach home, almost recoveredfrom recent illness, under his cordial wife'sactive care. Vail Hartwell and wife were infine shape in a pleasant riverside home.

We had not been able to warn MoritzAnkele of our exact time schedule, so couldonly leave a note as we passed by. He wasnot home. I had never found opportunity torun down Winslow Birdsall in previous yearsso made a point of it this time, in a remotepart of Tampa. He is well. Chuck French isin bad shape in a nursing home, not far fromhis own lovely home where artist wife Phylliscared for him in his wheel chair in recentyears. Now, with two broken hips, he ismaking no more forbidden efforts to get outof the chair.

Art Swinnerton is in good health in hisSt. Pete home, well able to do the leg workfor his permanently chair-bound wife. Earland Mrs. Emerson were in their regularwinter quarters, a high-rise apartment on aClearwater waterway. He presided as lunch-eon host with Loring Jones, who lives a fewmiles away in Duneden in single quartersin a retirement set-up. For summer, Loringreturns to Lake George. Jim Keenan had notknown just when to expect us and we caught

him half-nude, seated for an itinerant barberbeside his trailer. His chum Esther Pitt waspreparing dinner for three neighbors whowere completing steps for her trailer nextdoor. There was enough to include us byborrowing chairs, but seven made a tight fitin her dining space.

To reach relatives in Mobile, we had totraverse Florida's panhandle for the firsttime and took the chance to look in on AlDeermont, still an active construction engi-neer in Chipley, where his southern Colonialhome is a landmark. Our inexactly an-nounced advent found him being entertainedfor his birthday, but we were guests forbreakfast next a.m. Al has had considerableillness breaking his long string of Reunions,looks fragile and uses a cane, but mostlykeeps regular office hours. He and his hale,hearty wife have a Boothbay Harbor placefor summers where she has been drawn intothe pursuit of antique furniture.

Ed Bullis has sold his home, and is nowprovided with quarters next door to hisphenomenally successful artist daughter,Mrs. Blish, during the little time he stayshome. He has made trips to the West Indiesand a month on a Eurail pass since January.He will return from the South Seas just intime for Reunion.

Alf Thatcher helped elect a young neigh-bor, Bill Brock, second Republican senatorfor Tennessee, unthinkable 30 years ago.Walt Todd says habit keeps him going fullspeed seven days a week. He looks too fragilefor it but is often in Ithaca pulling muchweight with the powers that be. "Old Doc"Welch has turned 90, probably the mostseniority in the class. He seems to enjoy hear-ing from Cornell and '09, remarking thatwith two degrees from Missouri and 35 yearsteaching at Montana he gets no word fromthem. He and his wife of near 60 years enjoythe contrast of life in unspoiled (as yet),small, country town Medford, Ore., after 10years with the traffic, hippies, rackets, etc.,of the Bay area near San Jose, Cal.

Chuck Wheeler is flattered to be classedwith the "able bodied" though that is notquite what was meant by "Active Class-mates." Many wheelchair members are highup in class activity. Chuck reports the "usualminor physical and mental" handicaps ofage 84. They seem to have kept him fromthe 40 miles to Ithaca for Reunions since '59.

FREDERIC O. EBELING

11 MEN: I deeply regret to report thedeath on March 5th of our distin-

guished correspondent, "Abe" Lincoln. Hewill be sadly missed.

Herb Ash ton and his Mary will be offto Africa this spring. He said that if he doesn'tget over-lionized, they'll be in Ithaca for Re-union.

Rudy and Layerne Lippert moved to Cali-fornia last Christmas and think they betterstay put for a while. So, worse luck, theywon't be with us for Reunion.

C. J. Fox is back from India via Morocco.He said he will be at Reunion with both feetand wants a colored picture of the gang.Whew. I dunno, Charlie.

William J. (Bill) Lewis Jr. suffered a strokein Oct. 1969 and is paralyzed on his rightsize. He is set on coming to the Reunion, andif the details can be handled, he and his wifewill be there. We'll have the university sendthe details. How's that for "guts," you guys?

Herb Bellis and his wife are planning on

coming to Reunion. His book on Architec-tural Drafting was published by McGraw-Hill in February. Pretty good for an ME,hey?

Harry Fox and his wife survived the earth-quake that struck Sylmar, Calif, on Feb. 9.Their home wasJeft intact but most every-thing breakable inside was ruined. They hadno water, gas, electricity or telephone. Thetelephone exchange building serving the areawas demolished and no service was expectedfor several weeks. Harry and his wife camethrough without scratches although over sixtyresidents in the area died.

Harry had a letter from Hans Berna of-fering to drive over from his home about 50miles away to bring a few gallons of water."He is the same old good-hearted thoughtfulDutch," says Harry.

Bob Hentz of Bucks Co., Pa., formerlyPhiladelphia, says he would like to come toReunion but at present his wife's condition issuch he may not be able to leave her.

EDWARD G. MACARTHUR

Time of Your Life: CU 12:59

12 MEN: Certainly—The FamousClass is having another Reunion,

its 59th, at Cornell, Wednesday June 9through Sunday the 13th. Just another funfest in good company. You should notify oursecretary, Everett H. Rankin, 154 No. SunsetDr., Ithaca 14850, when and how you arecoming, how many in your party and howlong you expect to stay.

The university has assured us of comfort-able quarters. Instead of Mary Donlon Hall,we have requested rooms in Balch Halls,which are more convenient to the campus.You will be advised in plenty of time as toour headquarters. Dinners will be arrangedat the Statler Inn after registration.

Important matters to be discussed at ourannual meeting, Friday noon at the Statler,are plans for our GRAND 60τκ REUNION nextyear. 1912 wants to set another record forattendance to add to our long list, so all ofyour good ideas are solicited.

Arrange to bring someone along with youto the warm-up 59th Reunion June 9.

CHARLES C. COLMAN

' 1 Q MEN: Edward M. Urband, 16 Hol--L lander Terr., Montclair, NJ, who

reported he had retired way back in the 1960s,has recently been highly honored and has had

an unusual experience at this time of life.Last August at the opening of the firstschool for dependents of our Service person-nel at the US Naval Station at Keflavik, Ice-land, his wife took the assignment of schoolnurse and health teacher for the school year.When she reported for duty, Eddie went withher way north to Keflavik which is near thepolar ice cap. This is where our 57th FighterInterceptor Squadron operates as part of theNATO force we have stationed there, vital forour security. On Nov. 10, some time after hisarrival there, Eddie had the pleasure of meet-ing some of the finest of our personnel whoman this station. They were celebrating the175th anniversary of our Marine Corps.Eddie was a member of the 135th Air Squad-ron, AEF, in World War I. Here he foundhimself among fellow fliers, even thoughwhat and how they flew was so greatly differ-ent. Eddie had the great distinction of re-ceiving the plaque of honorary membershipin the US Marine Corps. After some citationsreceived more than 50 year ago were read, hewas acclaimed as the only World War Iaviator in Iceland.

Eddie returned home to see how theyounger members of his family were faring—they have nine grandchildren—but will bereturning very soon to his wife in Iceland.

George J. Sturmfelsz, 1208 Southview Rd.,Baltimore, Md., reports he is still kicking. Hehas enjoyed these last 15 years of retirementfrom business and engineering, but he hasbeen mighty busy in other ways. In this dayand age they just don't have carpenters,plumbers and general handymen availableany more, so he has to do these jobs himself."What we need is to get more boys in voca-tional schools and less of them in college, sothey can be more good to themselves and theeconomy in general, than to support them incolleges where all they think about is sex anddrugs and campus upheavals." Truly spoken,George.

Thurston V. V. Ely, 1617 Pinellas Rd.,Bellaire, Clearwater, Fla., and his wife liketo travel and continue to make long trips tovarious parts of the world. Last fall they en-joyed an extensive tour of Africa, one of the

few parts of the world they had not visitedbefore. He makes no mention of the state oftheir health, but they must both be fit in orderto continue taking these world-wide trips to-gether. HARRY E. SOUTHARD

14 MEN: Mead W. Stone, still pinchhitting for H. W. (Doc) Peters.

A most welcome Christmas card fromProf, and Mrs. Yuen Ren Chao, Berkeley,Cal.

Johnny Howell to Hawaii to visit a daugh-ter.

R. Kenneth MacKenzie gives a list of eightCornellians all living in Leisure Village inNew Jersey. Mac has been chairman of afund drive among Leisure Village residentsto raise funds to build an intensive care unitfor the Paul Kimball Hospital. We knowyour drive will be a success.

A. B. Weinberger since his retirement Jan.1, 1970 has been traveling in Europe.

A cheerful note from BUI Myers to Docsaying he was spending Christmas at hishome in' Ithaca. Visited his daughter and firstgreat-granddaughter in Cincinnati, Ohio, forThanksgiving.

A fine letter from Alfred L. Potter, MD, of671 South Rd., Wakefield, RI, which follows:"When I read in the ALUMNI NEWS of Sep-tember 1970 the stirring account of thevaliant action of our classmate Morris Bishopin defense of decorum at the June commence-ment exercises, I had just been reading as apastime in my retirement the account of ano less noble action as described by Homer.

"I once reminded Morris of a day in thefall of 1910 when he and I, two candidatesfor university scholarships, sat lonely in theimmensity of Sibley Hall, taking the exam-ination in Greek. We both won them, and hecontinued his career in languages to eminencein that field. Perhaps his knowledge of Greekpaid off in June.

"I had been reading the Iliad and the strik-ing (stet) similarity of the two heroes impelsme to give you and our class this from BookVII, line 138, Ά godlike man that men andfair-girdled women were wont to call the

Mace-man for that he fought not with bowand long spear, but with a mace brake theballalions.'

"The 'fair-girdled' epithet may no longerbe applicable, but the rest rings true in de-scribing our korunetes, our Mace-bearer.Long may he live to wave it.

Special notice to letter writers: Our loyalclassmate, James E. McCreery, 218 Law-rence Dr., Portsmouth, RI, has been quite illfor some time. A card or letter would help.We have to have Mac around for our 60th.

Roger Brown's midwinter 1914 class lunch-eon was a great success. The following is hisnewsy report:

The 12th annual Reunion luncheon of 1914Class was held at Patricia Murphy's CascadesRestaurant in Deerfield, Fla. on Feb. 23. Therewere 12 classmates, five guests and 11 wives.Those present were: Tom Baker, HarryChapin, Alfred (Hooks) Day, Harry Drescher,Stu Ford, Warren Hawley Jr., Dr. HadleyStephanson, Bob Sinclaire, Al Stover, BillUpson, Clarence (Mike) Vogt, Roger Brown.

Guests were: Dr. Burt Lemon '08, PhD'13; our chemistry prof. John Dittrich '13;Felix Ferraria '16; Richard M. Ramin, VPuniversity development; Max Smidt '24, CUregional rep, and G. R. Gottschalk, director,office estate affairs.

At a nearby table were the following wives:Ruth Baker, Evelyn Brown, Aileen Chapin,Dorothy Day, Margaret Ford, Kate Hawley,Anni Sinclaire, Esther Stover, De Etta Stephan-son, Frances Vogt and Marjorie Upson.

For the first time in 12 years, Jim Munnswas absent. His wife finds Arizona helps herarthritis. We sympathize, but everyone missedJim deeply. Bill Myers wrote he was also goingto be in Arizona, which he finds beneficial forsome bronchial trouble. (The Florida Chamberof Commerce is going to hate me!) Regretswere read from many others. Morris Bishopwrote "my affectionate regards to all therelics."

Walt Addicks and his wife expected tocome, but a persistent infection in his heelprevented—Achilles had a weakness there, too.They are vacationing at the Clearwater BeachHotel, Clearwater.

"Doc" Peters and Elsie were badly missed,too. He has had to be running to a doctor thismonth, but they hope to come down in March.Mead Stone thought he might get here, buthis wife Lillie was below par and the doctordid not want her to travel.Truly a good group and your correspon-

dent for one is sorry we missed it.Some notes from letters Roger forwarded:

John Cuddelback in Clearwater with his wife,but unable to make the trip. Bill Barbee Jr.not able to make it. Says Mac Creery is im-proving.

Walt Addicks announces the date for theAddicks 1914 dinner as May 18th. Mark itdown and save the date. Roland Daley madea trip around the world by air. Some trip.

Much to my delight, received a phone callon a rainy Saturday afternoon from JEdTruesdell. A real surprise! He will attend theAddicks dinner. Tells of a letter from JohnHowell written from Tucson, Ariz. John hadseen Edmund B. Rogers, who was at one timesuperintendent of Estes National Park andalso Yellowstone. Thank you, Ed.

1 MEN: Underlying the record ofi v many Cornellians is "Family

power." Francis E. J. Early, who retired in1958 after 45 years with the Syracuse HeraldJournal, spent the last ten years there as busi-ness editor. His family consists of nine chil-dren and 32 grandchildren—to date! Hespends six months each year at lovely Red-ington Beach, Fla. There he enjoys visitinganother highly regarded 1915 family, Dr.Lloyd Craver and his wife Anna. Early haswritten onα book for the Colony Club ofSyracuse entitled Out of the Salt of the Earth.Sounds like intriguing reading.

Seymour Davenport Jr., who will be backat Old Chatham this summer, defends hishis "getting into a rut in winter" by dilatingupon the charms of his new Florida vaca-tion spot at Casey Key, on the Gulf coast,south of Sarasota "where Gil Terriberry usedto hang out." It is not far from Fort Myers *Beach, headquarters of Sec. Art Wilson.

Incidentally, Art advised that he had aidedand abetted Max Schmitt '24, "Rocky" Ford,Mildred Haff et al. in sprouting some goodCornell seed last year by forming the CornellClub of SE Florida, of which they are direc-tors. Over 70 Cornellians attended the annualluncheon held in Fort Myers this winter. FourFifteeners were there. Art expects to be atIthaca in time for the 55th Reunion of Ίόers.He hopes to meet Claude Williams and DickReynolds and your scribe there, as well as anyother classmates who may have the urge tosee Cornell again, "like it is." Charlie Heidtis also expected and possibly Judge SamuelS. Leibowitz. After his extensive involvementin fighting crime, violence, and drugs on andoff campus and city streets, he should be mostinteresting. T. Burr Charles, of YellowHouse, Berks Co., Pa. was decidedly againstcoming back to our 55th last year because ofstudent misconduct last spring. He now says,"If I'm around for the 60th, will try to be onhand. Best regards to all."

Sherman Grant of Akron also states, "WifeDot and I enjoyed our 55th last Juneand hope we'll be able to attend the 60th in1975. We both feel fine and are on the go allthe time. P.S. Akron now has a live Cor-nell Club—meeting about once a month."

More "family power" is revealed byCharles Alexander Comfort of Rt. 6, Middle-ton, who is "keeping house with his wife" inScotchtown, only a mile away from his birth-place. He reports, "not very active outside."Two sons are in Orange Co. and one daugh-ter, Marion C. Richter, is in Anchorage,Alaska. Her husband Donald is a geologistfor the US Geodetic Survey, mapping a tractof 8,000 square miles of wilderness. Theirlast Christmas party included two sons, sevengrandchildren, and eight great grandchildren.

Five grandchildren were unable to be present.The Comforts are active members of thePresbyterian Church. He is also master of theGrange and keeps busy with other communi-ties, as well as regularly getting in touch withthe family wherever they may be.

For retirement, as well as vacation pur-poses, Arizona is becoming the current"in" place. Many Cornellian world-wanderersand present residents of Florida, Mexico andthe Caribbean are re-settling in Phoenix, Tuc-son, and in-between areas. Claude and EledaWilliams bought a home in Sun City, justafter a Florida tour in February. They ex-pect to sell their Forest Hills place and emi-grate next fall. Their house is on the edgeof the Golf Club, of course, and only a shortfifteen minutes from metropolitan Phoenix.Claude says "they have every convenience inPhoenix, from theatre and art and similarcultural activities down to branches of lead-ing brokerage firms and professional sports."

WOMEN: I'm glad to be able to re-port that Anna Schumann Smith of

Sylmar, Calif, came through the earthquakebattered but safe. That morning she foundcabinets tipped over with contents spilled,broken mirrors and dishes and a grand messon the kitchen floor — everything from jam toblueberries and mustard. Her boys drove allnight to .get to her, bringing food and water,and helped her make a path through the mess.'She had electricity after four days, whichmeant swimming pool water could be heatedin an electric fry pan for sponge baths andto clean up floors. No water for ten days, nogas, no telephone, or sanitary facilities. Herhome, though, was declared safe for occupa-tion — a big plus. The aftershocks were hardto take and made writing very difficult, withthe added problem of broken glasses and nosepiece.

The Class Officers Assn. sends out com-parative class rankings. In the 1969-70 report,we were second in our ten-year group. Pleasedo keep up the good work by a good Reunionturn-out this June. Try hard to come — youwill enjoy it. If transportation is a problem,write Lois. Perhaps she can help you solve it!

We have had word that Margaret McClan-ahan is in the Laurel Heights ConvalescentHospital, California St., San Francisco. Iknow she would treasure a card from you.

The Moores plan to be back north (StarRoute, Hagaman) at the end of May. If youfind you cannot be at Reunion, Lois or Iwould love to know what has happened toyou and yours since 1966.

HELEN IRISH MOORE

I / In each of the past three years, 1917J- / has given just a few hundred dollars

less than $50,000, which has been our goal.Cornell's need for money is now greater thanever, so let's dig a little deeper into our pock-ets and actually reach our goal this year.

William C. Bellis usually confines his trav-els north through Connecticut and south asfar as Baltimore, on sales work and familyvisiting. Last spring his brother H. F. Bellis'11 twisted Bill's arm, so he managed somefive weeks in Europe with Herbert and hiswife. Bill considered the trip a great successand hopes to make a habit of it. Bill's onehobby is photography, and he is trying hardto take a decent snap-shot occasionally.

Walter W. Krebs, the head of the Johns-town (Pa) Tribune Publishing Co. and itsaffiliated broadcasting company, has beenawarded the degree of Doctor of Humanities,Honoris Causa, by St. Francis College, Lo-retta, Pa. Congratulations, Doctor Duby!

Copeland E. Gates (Doc to you and me),one of our Glee Club's finest bassos, retiredin 1962 from the Farm Bureau and the Ki-wanis Club. Doc still serves as VP and chair-man of the administrative bd. of TrinityUnited Methodist Church in Kingston. Helives at Lake Katrine, and fishes the fine troutstreams of Ulster County. He modestly con-fesses he spends most of his time getting hisfish line out of the bushes. In the winter Docshovels snow, and in the summer he cares fortwo acres of lawn and a small garden wherehe raises 15 different vegetables. Doc's sonPete '45 is with Armstrong Linoleum. Agrandson, Tom, is a junior at NorthwesternU, where he is crew manager. A granddaugh-ter, Carol, is a freshman at Ulster Co. CC.Doc and his wife Ruth frequently drive toMaryland and Georgia to visit relatives, andthey spend their summer vacations at CapeCod.

In Blacksburg, Va., Harold N. Young, whoretired in 1965, keeps active by walking fivemiles each day and working in American Le-gion affairs. He has been elected to the NewRiver Valley Planning District Commissionand is writing an autobiography. His sonRoderick is an asst. prof, of biochemistry atVPI. Harold manages to get back to theCornell campus at least once a year, but lastsummer, like many of us, he had troubleparking because of new restrictions.

The travels last year of Philadelphian FredP. Nabenhauer and his wife Urma were cur-tailed by Urma's illness. Although they hadplanned a trip to Italy and a month's cruisein the Mediterranean, they had to fly homefrom Rome. This year's travels will dependon her complete recovery hopefully this springand summer. Urma, a graduate of the IthacaConservatory of Music (now Ithaca College),is a pianist and organist. Their daughter wentto the Museum School of Art and has donesome very attractive water-colors.

Donald E. Stonebraker lives in Hollywood,Fla., where he owns business properties andapartment houses. Don now summers inMaine; and, unless he has changed in the last55 years, is never far from a piano, xylo-phone, or marimbaphone. He has one son andtwo granddaughters, aged 21 and 18, both inVirginia schools.

For the past eight years Robert G. Mead ofSanta Fe has been managing the NM statepermanent fund, which is in excess of fourhundred million dollars. Last year he traveledto Bogota, Colombia, to visit his daughterand son-in-law who is with the State Dept.They then cruised on the Caribbean on theNorwegian Caribbean Line. Bob has fourchildren and nine grandchildren.

DONALD L. MALLORY

1 >< MEN: Tom (Row) Wagner sends-L ^*r me a short note from Naples, Fla.,

to report that all's well and to enclose aclipping from Jack Knight's Miami newspa-per showing a picture in color of Jack andthe Rorrmey politico duo. Paul Miller writesfrom Bronxville that "there's no change instatus. I still go into NYC three or four daysa week in connection with my work at theEconomic Development Council. Sara and Ihad a pleasant weekend with Blanche andFred Gillies in Ithaca last fall at the time ofthe disastrous Yale game."

Joe Lorin is another who writes from thesame old stand to report he continues as aconsultant for Grey Advertising, one of thenation's big ones, and still writes its pertpublication Grey Matter. Roy Moore ofMease Manor, Dimedin, Fla., writes a shortnote to report that "this old codger is oldenough to know better, but at age 74 havetaken on a second wife, an old flame of 40years ago. We are looking forward to manyyears of happiness." Louis Samuels, who willalways be remembered for his many gooddeeds at our five-year Reunions, writes fromMount Vernon "Rae and I were fortunateenough to celebrate our 50th anniversarylast year."

Jim Perley writes from Los Angeles thathis only trivia to contribute to the columncome from a trip last year to Africa. "On asafari in September to Black Africa webagged natives and wild life with my trustycamera and delved into the political andeconomic developments of the recently freedstates—new forms of social structure are onthe way." And finally Jack Knight has sentme a carbon copy of a letter to Fred Gilliesexpressing his regrets at learning that Fredhas been in the hospital for some "necessaryrepairs." In. that note he mentions thatChamp Carry and Marian spend their wintersat Key Largo, far away from the nasty winterweather of the Chicago area.

A post card has just arrived from LesFisher reporting that "Marge and I are on amost interesting trip to East Africa. We were

finessed out of Uganda because of the politi-cal situation there. If I must say so, theclimate here (in Kenya) is even better thanyours (in California). We are 5000 feetabove sea level and the weather is superb.Among those with us on the trip are StanKrusen '28 and his wife." Now that soundslike a fine trip, and it's in one of my favoriteareas in Africa, though I haven't too muchenjoyed Kenya and Nairobi (its capital)since the blacks took over there and relegatedthe whites to second class citizenship.

18 WOMEN: In a recent letter fromIndian Rocks Beach, Fla., Olive

Schmidt Barber reports that Helen Waters(Mrs. John B.) Slimm "now lives at 119 Ta-coma Rd., Oak Ridge, Tenn." Her daughterHelen (Mrs. Francis R.) Bruce '43 lives therealso, at 116 Euclid Circle. We had askedOlive if she ever saw Vi Graham. Olive re-minds us that Vi lives in Tallahassee, "a longway from here." Husband Harmon was busywatching a hockey game on TV when Olivewrote.

Cora L. Friedline wrote from Lynchburg,Va. in December that she is in good healthexcept for loss of vision. "I have my dog, andwalk with him, which keeps me in goodshape." She had heard from Betty ReigartGilchrist '19 about the passing of Dr. H. P.Weld (psychology). Betty, she notes, "is inAsbury Towers in Bradenton, Fla." She askswhether anyone has information on the Tit-chener family: "There was Jack, Alice, Bertie,and one other girl, whose name I cannot re-call."

Cora inquires whether there has been aclass letter since 1969. No, the custom nowis to issue such a letter a few months after aReunion, including news gathered at Reunionand obtained from letters from classmateswho couldn't attend. Our 1918 column in theALUMNI NEWS tries to keep readers up todate between Reunions. That's why it's im-portant for every classmate to keep me in-formed about your doings!

Edith R ul if son Dilts had a Christmas notefrom our classmate Marie Dickey Marden inScotland. There are two new grandchildrenin Marie's family: one of these is the daugh-ter of Dick Marden, who accompanied hismother to our 50th Reunion. In winter, sheadds, it's difficult to keep warm in ArdrossCastle!

Edith writes daughter Mary Jane (Achey)'45 flew to Paris for ten days in April 1970,a trip sponsored by the Cornell Alumni Assn.Also, grandson Michael Achey "used the backporch as storage space for quantities ofbottles and aluminum cans" which he wascollecting, having gone in wholeheartedly to-ward cleaning up the environment. Edith's"paper towels had to be white, and washingpowder one that left no phosphate deposit."We certainly are glad that teenagers likeMichael are concerned about pollution.

Last September Edith went to Maine withthe family of her daughter Margaret '43 (Mrs.James Lakis). "We were at East BoothbayHarbor: our cottage was on salt water in acove. We ate lobster and clams, walked inthe woods, played bridge, and enjoyed a pic-nic with Andy Wyeth's niece Betsy and herfamily." The best part of the week, addsEdith, was having "time to spend with grand-sons Doug and Leslie, 14 and 12."

Ί9 MEN: We discovered we were notreading as many books as formerly,

but were encouraged to note the grand-children were reading more. Upon lookinginto the matter we discovered that we aregetting so many newspapers, magazines,form letters, et cetera, that if the' wholefamily read 24 hours per day, we still couldnot read everything. We are going to give

"To Be a Part of Cornell Again"

See page 7.

books a little more attention and Sundaynewspapers less, and we are still going to gothrough the mail carefully for checks. ,

Our good friend, Burton Swartz, of theClass of 1918, and in college days a trackteammate of our own "Doc" Shackelton, waskind enough to send us an interesting letterabout the Sarasota-Manatee Cornell Club.The Club has monthly luncheons and pro-grams at Zinn's Restaurant. Total member-ship is 142, and during the winter manyvisiting Cornellians are guests. The followingΊ9ers are members of this club: George W.Baird, William H. DeMers, Mrs. Raleigh(Elizabeth Reigart) Gilchrist, Daniel H.Heller, Mrs. Kurt A. (Elna Johnson) Mayer,Harold F. Miller, James M. Nelson, Dr. PaulF. Nugent, and Ross M. Preston. It would beinteresting to learn how many Cornelliansspend part or all of the year in Florida.

Leonard Miscall of 114 Parker Street,Ithaca, has been appointed by Mayor Johnsto fill the unexpired term on the Ithaca Hous-ing Authority created by the resignation ofRichard Daley. Leonard is a retired captainin the US Naval Reserve and a consultingcivil engineer. He was a contractor in Ithacafor a number of years. His service in theNavy's Seabees took him to many parts ofthe world. Among other duties he went toChina after the war as a UN representativeon public works, and he served in Germanyand France as a special representative of theState Department surveying US governmentholdings and working on a plan to create em-ployment through public works.

Percy and Clara Dunn celebrated their50th wedding anniversary last June, we arehappy to report. The Dunns are now livingat Herodoto 53 (1), Mexico, D.F. 5. Nomention was made of what Percy was doingbut we suspect he is active in boy scout work.

Seth Heartfield of Baltimore writes thatthe "only news is that I am now completelyretired from my former ice cream business,but have taken on two part time jobs: (1)executive sec. Maryland Tire Dealers Assoc.and (2) special representative for BarraciniCandies, which is now a part of SouthlandCorp., the company that bought my business.I'm kept pretty busy. Frances is still inKeswick Home and as you know, it is notmuch fun living alone."

E. B. Blue, who lives in New Canaan,Conn., reports that he is working so "thewolf won't come around on a rainy day." Wethought Israel Putnam got the last wolf inConnecticut many long years ago.

Jack Gebhard, who used to be a Cornellprof, and was a resident of Ithaca for many,many years, reports that the Gebhards movedlast May to 6251 Old Dominion Dr., Mc-Lean, Va., and are enjoying their new home.Mark N. Turner sent in a change of address.Henceforth send all mail to 700 NiagaraFalls Frontier Bldg., Buffalo. Charles E.Krey also has an address change. His newaddress is 4201 Massachusetts Ave., NW,Washington, DC.

"Nothing particular to report. Still slightlybelow par physically but still going along.Regards to all Ί9ers," writes Ross L. Milli-man from Phoenix, Ariz.

We were saddened by a letter from FrankJ. Walrath of Crystal River, Fla. He reports

the death of their only son, aged 50, by can-cer in November 1969. Mrs. Walrath is inpoor health and Frank is kept busy withhousehold tasks.

Colonel Charles Ennis, USA Retired, ofLyons writes: "Mrs. Ennis and I spent amonth this past spring with our daughter andfamily at Stuttgart, Germany. DaughterSally is Class of 1952 and her husband isJames Macklin USMA 1948. He is a coloneland judge advocate of the VII Corps."

COLONEL L. BROWN

'20 MEN: For those who didn't chooseto languish in the luxurious lap of

sunshine and fresh orange juice during thehorrendous winter months, this is the auspici-ous time of year when the prospect of brightflowers and balmy breezes sends sap rushingupwards in the limbs of tree and man. Hav-ing suffered thru the Ides of March andstruggled with income tax returns, most 1920men are cheered by the advent of Spring andthe promise of increased Social Security.Now the "snowbirds" fly back North for thesummer and the tired retirees relax and en-joy their solitude.

Also flying home are those who went farfar away to miss the ice and snow. Herb andGretchen (Schweitzer '21) Grigson will soontouch down at Downington, Pa. after spend-ing four months in Morocco. They sailedthere by cargo ship, taking their baby Peugeotwith them. They'll return in time forGretchen's 50th Reunion "on the Hill," andthen prepare for their big celebration—their50th wedding anniversary in September.Great, huh?

A big "Welcome Home" is extended toour Class Prexy Walt and Dottie Archibaldfrom an exciting and unusual double cruiselasting nearly four months. By this time theyshould know every port hole and own a goodshare of the M. S. Kungsholm which made acomplete circle of the coast of South Amer-ica giving them glimpses of Valparaiso, thebeauty of the Andes and the lovely ChileanLakes district. They slipped thru the Magel-lan Strait, made a stop at the Falkland Is-lands, and had a most delightful time inBuenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. They en-joyed the colonial atmosphere of Bridgetownand "free" shopping at St. Thomas in theVirgin Islands. Their trip was made morepleasant by finding Anne and Spencer Olin'21 aboard.

A two-day stop at New York gave themtime to see how the US and the spice businesswere faring, and then off again to the GreekIslands, Mediterranean and Black Sea. Em-broidered linens and sweet wine at Madeira;the snake charmers at Casbah; Malta, thestronghold of the Knights of St. John ofJerusalem; Ephesus where St. Paul firstpreached; Yalta, where FDR met with Stalinand Churchill; Bucharest, Sofia, Istanbul;ancient Greek cities of Piraeus, Delos andRhodes; then Mount Parnassus and tryingto hear what the Delphic Oracle had to say;peaceful Mallorca, stately Gibraltar andbeautiful Ariba Drive in Lisbon were justsome of their memorable experiences. Great-est, we're sure, was the sight of the grand oldlady in NY harbor lighting their way hometo the "land of the free."

Like Mark Twain, who, in the interest ofaccuracy, found it expedient to refute un-confirmed rumors of his whereabouts (hereor hereafter), we hurriedly state that O. G.Daily is alive and well and living in a newworld—no longer dependent on crutches for

locomotion and whacking away on the golfcourse (a la cart) despite a higher handicap.We even drove to Sarasota to personally payour grateful respects to our intrepid colleagueKay Mayer, now firmly established as Asst.1920 Editor by his^ quick grasp of the situ-ation and faultless Agnewesque rhetoric. Kayis resting on his laurels this month, but lookfor him again in an early issue. We alsovisited Don-Ho Hoagland and found thetreasury still intact, and still in the black.Glory be! It's great to be dodging the dead-line again! ORVILLE G. DAILY

/ (J WOMEN: Last month I promised- *J you Dorothy Willison's account of

her 1969 Christmas, as reported in her 1970Christmas greeting. Here it is!

"Christmas Eve, as I was standing in the bowof the 'Tagaytay,' looking across the smooth seato the mountains of Costa Rica, a large schoolof dolphins raced our freighter . . . Their grace-ful bodies leaping and glistening in the sun. Wehad broiled salmon with sour cream and dillsauce for lunch and fruited Christmas bread fortea. The entire ship was decorated, and a lightedtree was in a sheltered nook on the passengerdeck where everyone gathered for cocktails andgifts. Our officers were Norwegian; the passen-gers, American; the cooks and stewards, Chinese;and the crew very mixed. Just as we were goingbelow for dinner, the red sun sank into the sea,followed by a brief brilliant green flash—the rareand elusive 'Green Ghost'! As we returned to thedeck for coffee, cognac, and Christmas cakes,the full moon was rising out of a cloud bank. Theofficers in their warm-weather whites joined thepassengers in singing carols in English and Nor-wegian. Christmas morning, we opened our giftsin our gaily decorated suite. After the traditionalturkey dinner, we came on deck to watch the'stars in the ocean' and the red moon rising,making a broad rippling red ribbon to the ship."

The Commis-sion recommending the award included rep-resentatives of five national engineering socie-ties in addition to the Western Society of En-gineers. The Washington Award was founded

Cornell Alumni News

and endowed in 1916 by John Watson Alvord,a consulting engineer. It is "an honor con-ferred upon an engineer for accomplishmentswhich preeminently promote the happiness,comfort and well-being of humanity." Thereasons for selecting Dean Everitt are sum-marized as follows: "for exceptional leader-ship and innovation in engineering education,for distinguished contributions to science andadvancement of the engineering profession,and for meritorious service to society."

Dean Everitt has received many otherhonors and awards too numerous to list here.For the last three years he has been chairmanof the telecommunications committee of theNat'l Acad. of Engineers, which is advisingvarious government agencies on how to usetelecommunications to improve urban living.

John B. Hawley Jr. received an HonoraryDoctor of Science degree from The ColoradoCollege in June 1970.

'21 WOMEN: Plans for our 50th Re-union are still in the making at this

writing, but they are going forward with zealin various parts of the country. We have twoReunion chairman: Elizabeth Cooper Bakerin the Ithaca area and Rosalie Ulrich Rosen-berger in the greater New York area. Eliza-beth writes that the plans are for a barbequedinner on Thurs. night and Statler dinnerson Fri. and Sat. nights—all joint with the '21Men. Lucy Maltby is in charge of registrationand hospitality. She is in Florida at present.Helen Marsh is in charge of the pictures.

Margaret Kirkwood Taylor has been put-ting plans together and organizing us formany months. As you know, she lives inWash. DC, so letters have been flying overthe country from her to her. If some of theseplans do not work out, we should be able toadjust. We are just going to think about thewonderful time we are having.

The following '21 women have been askedto serve on a regional promotion committeefor Reunion:

Hazel Day Beagle, New York; MargaretArronet Corbin, Illinois; Marcia SchenckCrane, California; Jayne Disbrow, Connecti-cut; Martha Martin Dunphy, Florida; EleanorFopte, New York; Gretchen SchweitzerGrigson, Pennsylvania; Esther CornwallFrench, Texas; Gertrude Hazzard, Connecti-cut; Ruby Odell, Florida; Norma DunhamPower, Florida; Nellie Buck Quick, NewJersey; Lauretta Riffe, New York; SarahSearles, New York; Katharine Duddy Smith,Delaware; Alice Thomas Terwilliger, NewJersey; Helen Stankiewicz Zand, Pennsyl-vania.

If you receive a letter from any memberof this committee, please answer promptly.We need to know if you will be at Reunionin June.

There will be a class get-together and elec-tion of officers on Sat. afternoon.

We hope there will also be an exhibit. Digout your old scrap books and pictures for anexhibit of class memorabilia. Current picturesand hobbies of all kinds will also be of in-terest. If you paint, write, knit, do needlepoint, collect stamps or whatever, bring asample. It may be an inspiration to others.I am sure we can all find old pictures andstunt books. We hope to have a display ofthis material in one of the downstairs lounges.

We have lost another classmate. SadieKlein Kellerman (Mrs. Morris) of 34-35 76thSt., Jackson Heights, died on Feb. 5, 1971.

Here is another sad note. Theresa Fox Harthad a cataract removed and suffered a severerelapse. She says, "my main concern is tomake a good recovery so that I can see myclassmates in June." With several moremonths to recover from the time of this writ-ing, we shall hope to see Theresa in June.

Gretchen Schweitzer Grigson and her hus-band, Herbert '20, spent the winter in Mo-rocco and Spain. Gretchen has sent me somebeautiful cards. She thoroughly enjoys thehistory, art, and old world culture of thesecountries. She says she knows what her edu-cation was all about now. And after threemonths, she found her French was quiteusable. Gretchen and Herbert are alwaysfaithful in Reunion attendance and they don'tintend to miss this one.

Esther Cornwall French and her husband,Lewis M., also Class of '21, plan to attend inJune. Esther writes, "Probably our biggestnews is that we now spend winters in CorpusChristie and have a home there. Our residenceis still in NYS. We made two delightful tripsthrough the countryside in Europe by carfrom Norway through Italy."

Helen Glasier Bush has been visiting hertwo sisters in Pasadena and Los Angeles thispast winter. This was a welcome change aftertaking care of an old uncle, who died last yearat the age of 100. She was in California dur-ing the earthquake. They were very frightenedand alarmed but suffered no material damage.Helen also is anticipating our June get-to-gether. Helen has written a little poem for ourcolumn. She said it was written in a hurry butwith sincere feeling. And now here it is—

What have we done since '21To merit recognition?What kind of projects have we begunAnd under what condition?How have we learned down

through the yearsIn times of joy and painThat God, alone, has removed our fearsAnd made life good again.This will have to be the last call for Re-

union from this column. Reunion at Cornell,and especially the 50th, is a very special time.

'22 WOMEN: From Ithaca our Re-union chairman, Mary Porter

Durham, sends you this note: "Our 50th re-union comes but once and how wonderful ifwe could have all the women back for a greatget-together. It is not too early for each ofyou to begin planning your trip to Cornell inJune 1972. Your classmates in Ithaca aremaking plans for a weekend never to be for-gotten. Come to see what has happened here,the new buildings, the spirit of the students,and even the changes in the town of Ithacaitself. Already we have word of some whoplan to return. Add your name to the list andsave up your pennies that you may join us."This June Mary and Gene Durham '19 willbe going to St. Louis for the wedding of theiroldest grandson.

Myron G. Fincher, DVM '20 and yourreporter spent Feb. in the Southwest visitingour daughter, Esther Fincher Hays '48, MD'51 and her husband Daniel M. Hays, MD'44 in Los Angeles. We called on Charles andOlive (Temple) Gulick in their delightfulhome in Palm Desert, where they showed usthe Desert Community College and their newCommunity Church for which General andMrs. Eisenhower served as honorary chair-men of the building committee. At theGulicks we had much discussion of Reunionplans. Back in Los Angeles we had a stimu-lating evening with Betty Prat Vail who isas dynamic and vivacious as ever. She is mostenthusiastic about her job of teaching Eng-lish to Spanish American parents so that theycan keep up with their children attending thecity schools. Betty is looking forward to Re-union. She had all kinds of ideas about re-viving memories of our freshman year,Armistice Day 1918, our play "Alice inWonderland"—remember? There was aphone chat with Ruth Allen Davis of Bur-bank. She was your reporter's roommate for\l/2 years. She says that she got so used toliving with a Davis that she married one.She keeps busy helping her husband in hisbusiness and seeing their four sons and theirfamilies who live in the Los Angeles area.In Phoenix we were privileged to attend the80th birthday of Harry Hodges, DVM '16.Other Cornellians at the celebration ar-ranged by his wife Oma were Hilda Greena-

wait Way '19 and Walter D. (Denny) Way,DVM '17 of Westport, who were winteringin Phoenix, and Betty and Adrian Mills,DVM '20 of Athens, Ga., who were visitingin Tucson.

Time to be thinking about Cornell AlumniUniversity for 1971. Two years ago LiiellaSmith Chew, Clara Loveland, and MildredBork Connors attended. Last summer RuthIrish was our sole representative. In Sept.she reported, "Alumni University was a greatmind-stretcher and a most pleasurable ex-perience. I enjoyed the people who came back—they represented a good range of ages. Thefaculty chosen were excellent and most stim-ulating. I would recommend it highly to any-one who wants to revisit Cornell and tastewhat Cornell students today a^e getting."

Since this class had very few graduates inengineering, your reporter asked Julia FayerHerr of 1 Revere Ct., Bon Aire Pk. Suffern,what use she had made of that degree. Shereports that she used it for several years aftergraduation working in the commercial re-search dept. of AT&T and later in the X-raydept. of the Wappler X-Ray Co., which wastaken over by Westinghouse. After the birthof their second daughter, she decided to stayat home giving her children her full time. Shehas never regretted that decision. If the needhad arisen she knew that with a refreshercourse she could have gone back and pickedup her engineering career. Both her daugh-ters majored in mathematics in college; aremarried; there are nine grandchildren. Herhusband, Walter F. '21, died about threeyears ago. Julia writes, "My good health sofar permits me to lead a very active life."

Tillie Willgeroot MacPherson of Clifton,NJ says she is planning to attend our 50thReunion. She worked as a chemist in NJ bothbefore and after her marriage to a NYUchemist. They have one daughter, Alice,Wellesley '50, and a grandson of 15. Tilliehas served in many community organizationsand is still active in the Woman's Club.

Ruth St. John Freeman and Harrop '29spent most of December and January inHawaii. They have friends there, and Harwas involved in a number of academic ac-tivities. After 65 to 82 temperatures, Ruthfound the shift back to zero nights in Ithacaquite a contrast.

Elsa Hawkins Smith (Mrs. Elliot B.)writes, "We were the unusual couple goingback to college after marrying. My husbandtaught in the engineering department, whichmade his senior year really two years whileworking for his degree in mechanical engi-neering." Her daughter Annette '43 has amasters from U of Rochester, son Daniel alsoreceived a CE degree from there, while heryoungest, Sigrid, has a degree from Syracusein business administration. The first of thefive grandchildren will be ready for collegein the fall. She says she is enjoying a quietlife and has outside activities.

One evening in January, Gertrude FisherKinsey, who lives, with her very small dog,in Washington right in the shadow of theCapitol, visited at your reporter's home. Sheis well, and she and Michael Fincher '20 hada good talk about persons in veterinary medi-cine. Gertrude earned her DVM degree fromCornell in 1936. She enjoyed a browse inyour reporter's 1922 Cornellίan, as well asa look at the current list of classmates. Shecopied addresses hoping to catch up withseveral old friends. Perhaps there are otherswho would like addresses? Why not make adate to meet girls you have lost touch within Ithaca in June '72? Your reporter at 1208S. Oakcrest Rd., Arlington, Va. will gladlysupply whereabouts. EVELYN DAVIS FINCHER

'22-'24 Grad—Michael A. Khoury, 249Grand Concourse, Miami Shores, Fla.,writes: "Retired in 1963 after 35 yearsas executive for Armour. I am teaching 6thgrade boys and girls—so much satisfaction

in teaching youngsters to be better adults. Iam VP and on executive comm. of Dade Co.Employ the Handicapped Committee, VPan'd on the board of Dade Co. Mental HealthAssn., and pres. of the Sixty Plus & MinusGroup in our Presbyterian Church. We haveabout 250 members, some over 90 years ofage. One is Mrs. Billie Hanks Miller, 91 yearsold, who was the first aviatrix in the US. Ifany '22, '23, or '24 class members are downthis way, you are invited to be my guest atour monthly dinners."

' S X WOMEN: Evelyn Folks Orton£- vJ (Mrs. L. M.), 670 W 261 St., River-

dale, has retired from her volunteer workwith geriatric patients in order to travel withher husband Larry, also '23. Larry retired ascity planning commissioner of NYC.

Mary Dugan Sanford (Mrs. Stephen), Box1178, Palm Beach, Fla., who attended Cor-nell for one year and went on to a spectacu-lar career in the theater, high society, sportsand philanthropy, is one of the most colorfulpersonalities among the women of '23. Notlong ago she was the subject of a series ofarticles entitled "Mary Sanford—a Legendin Her Lifetime" in the Palm Beach Voice.Following a brief fling in the theater, shesigned a Hollywood contract which wasterminated almost immediately by her mar-riage to Stephen Sanford, wealthy poloplayer. An expert in golf, Mary proceeded towin women's championship tournaments inFlorida. She also began an active role inphilanthropy: over a million dollars wasraised for the Damon Runyan Fund for can-cer research. The Sanfords are prominentmembers of Palm Beach society and ownmany palatial homes.

Another now-permanent Florida residentis Esther Brace Preston (Mrs. Edwin V.)1502 Normandy Dr., Mount Dora. ThePrestons sold their house on Staten Islandand moved to Mount Dora, which is calledthe "New England of Florida." They're busydoing jobs on the house they bought and un-junglίng their 200' x 150' yard.

Gladys Barkley Wigsten (Mrs. William J.)1005 S. Main St., Horseheads, spends sixmonths each winter with her husband, also'23, in Lakeland, Fla. She writes of runningacross Gladys Wellar Usher (Mrs. R. R.),RD 2, Tully, and her husband at "the straw-berry market in Plant City." Gladys Wig-sten's children and grandchildren seem to beconcentrated in Michigan these days, all busygetting degrees. One granddaughter is in Eng-land studying sociology. HELEN NORTHUP

O A L. W. (Larry) Corbet, VP in charge of£- I Northrup King's garden seed dept.,

was recently presented a special award for hisoutstanding achievements in horticulture. Thepresentation took place at the annual conventionof the American Seed Trade Assn. held at LakeTahoe.

The award has normally been reserved forexceptional achievements in the development ofnew plant materials by plant breeders. But Larryreceived this award for his overall contributionsto horticulture, guidance in vegetable breeding,and his work with the All-American SelectionCommittee. Larry has been associated with thegroup since 1933.

H. Gilroy (Bud) Damon and his wife justcelebrated their 45th wedding anniversary. Theyhave five children, 15 grandchildren (11 areboys), and one great grand-daughter. Bud says,"You should stop in for Christmas—the house isbulging."

"Waiting for the bear to go home"—that'sthe message sent by Fred E. Uhl.

Early this year we received a delightful letterfrom Henry Alcus which we'd like to share, inpart, with you.

"My wife and I left Montreal on Aug. 27 onthe "Empress of Canada" for Liverpool, spent

two weeks in London, then rented a car for an1800-mile drive. We covered eastern, central andnorthern England, thence to Edinburgh, theLakes District of Scotland and on to Banchorywhere I shot grouse, partridge, pheasant andhare for sbςdays. Home from Prestwick and NYon Oct. 6.

"Am semi-retired from the ornamental ironbusiness (Hinderer's Iron Works) which I op-erated since 1929. The firm would be 106 yearsold this year, and while we no longer do anyfabricating owing to a total absence of crafts-men, we still sell a few items to the trade. As Ihave for the past 20 years, am still active in theshooting game. To my surprise and delight wasfortunate to have been appointed to the 1970senior All-American skeet team, which is funat the age of 68.

"My main vocation at the moment, thoughnot a source of livelihood, is as a professionalartist. I have been doing metal sculpture since1965 and have been fortunate enough to havereceived some international recognition andwhile as yet have hardly challenged the positionof Picasso, people are buying my stuff and pay-ing prices that I personally consider outrageous,but that's inflation for you.

"Since one coronary thrombosis 18 years ago,I am in excellent health and expect to live for-ever in spite of arthritis of the spine and theusual aches and pains attendant to advancingage. I still manage to do a bit of hunting in thefall, but have quit duck shooting because evendown here in the deep South it's too damn cold.I do enjoy reading of the doings of the friendsI had at Cornell and thought perhaps theremight be one or two left who were curious aboutwhatever happened to Ήy' Alcus."

7 /I WOMEN: Our faithful treasurer,d—- Carol Lester, reports 70 members

paid their dues before Feb. 20. That responsealmost overwhelmed Class President MaryYinger, who wrote she is very pleased andhappy; also added "We will be building up toour finest hour in 1974."

Carol also reported that several Cornellfriends—not '24s—have commented on our1924 Women's column. This credit for newsgoes to you "gals" who have so thoughtfullyshared your activities for all to read. Manythanks.

As this deadline approaches, your rovingcorrespondent is ambling around Florida dur-ing March; and the above news items have notcaught up with her. But I do have one item.After an AARP sponsored tour to Hawaii,Marion R. Salisbury visited in Seattle, thentraveled east on the Canadian Pacific RR toMichigan where she spent the rest of the sum-mer. She is now busy with her winter routine,which must give her much satisfaction, forshe is active in church work, helps once aweek in a nursing home, then assists the"Lighthouse" patrons with sewing projects.This activity, she writes "makes me appre-ciate my own eyesight." VERA DOBERT SPEAR

s r\ Sorry no '25 column appeared in^— vy the last issue of ALUMNI NEWS. The

reason was that the column intended for theApril issue was included with the Marchcolumn. Nick Bawlf would have said that itwas just alibi number three on page two!

Notes expressing how much they enjoyedthe Reunion last year and complimenting StuRichardson and Jim Norris on the fine ar-rangements made for our benefit were re-ceived from Russell Clarke, 229 WestfordRd., Concord, Mass.; Art Hamilton, 1111 N.Webster Dr., Pensacola, Fla.; George May,807 W. 323 St., Wilmington, Del.; Bob Mor-ris, 20 Crooke Ave., Brooklyn; Ed Proctor,1400 Commonwealth Bldg., Detroit, Mich.;and Alvin Severance, 151 Harrison Ave., SanAntonio, Texas.

Harold Melniker, 8480 iBeverly Blvd., LosAngeles, Cal.; Alfred S. Mills, 4771 N. W. 5St., Miami, Fla.; and Thomas L. Stirling, 241

Foreside Rd., Falmouth, Me., wrote howsorry they were to have missed our 45th.

Charles B. Maretzo, 442-80 St., Brooklyn,writes he is still active in engineering.

Charles F. Fidler retired in '62 after 32years with the US Air Force, having beenengaged in procuring engines, propellers, andaccessories. Charles and his wife Anna nowlive at 14 Richmond Ave. N Lehigh Acres,Fla. They have one daughter, who graduatedfrom Butler U in Indianapolis, and threegrandchildren.

Franklin F. Muller, 2721-19 St., Bakers-field, Cal., writes that his mother, Maude S.Muller, passed away last July 21 at age 93.She was the widow of Enrique K. Muller '97.Frank also mentions it is great to be retiredas it means more entertaining at home a,nd byfriends; more time for yard work and putter-ing around the house; more long weekendshere and there; more time for Lions (for thethird time he is district cabinet sec.-treas.)—and strangely enough, less free time thanwhen he was working 90 hours a week at theWinery.

I, too, am enjoying retirement, as I am suremany of our class are, while still keeping fullyoccupied. However, I believe that the realdifference is that we now have fewer dead-lines to meet and therefore are able to liveat a more relaxed pace—which is as it shouldbe. JOHN K. BRIGDEN

'26 MEN: Memories of the carefreedays of 45 years ago are recalled in

the above scene snapped on shipboard in themid-Atlantic on a summer day in July, 1926.From right to left they are (note the natty,joe-college, pre-Ivy League style of dress), thelate Lee Rostenberg with his violin, JohnnyBreckenridge at the piano, banjo-player PhilBaker, and Babe Carey, a friend of Johnny,from Kenyon College, at the drums. Missing,due to the dimensions of the photo, are SteveMacdonald and Chub Fuertes '27 v/ho will bepresented to you in the June column. This, nodoubt, will be an ALUMNI NEWS "first"—a"to be continued" picture!

Thanks to Phil, this masterpiece has beenmade available for publication with thefollowing message: "In a note from Bent [ourclass treasurer] I was reminded of that trip in1926 with an unforgettable group. Jack Mac-donald, Steve's brother, was also along. Ibelieve the band's name, The Red and WhiteRamblers, was kind of mentioned here andthere, but the group was assembled just be-fore sailing on the "Berengaria" by Lee whomanaged the engagement. We practiced abouta week in NYC, and I remember Chub (a realartist on reeds) bought a $5 cornet at a hockshop so we could do the bugle call rag. Ourroute—Cherbourg, Paris, Geneva, Chamonix,Nice, Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples and

home on the "California" via Gibralter. Bentand others were on the ship for the returnvoyage—a regular 12-day house party. Thetrip confirmed me as a lover of unplanned andunscheduled travel."

Phil also added "Mary and I moved toShreveport and bought a place in 1968 afterretirement. Our boy is in NYC and ourdaughter and family are temporarily livingin Jerusalem. My activities are tame—a littlehunting, training a Lab. who has picked up afew field trial cups, yard work and golf.Harry Hartman, Del Vincent and I had abrief session in January."

Word from Buffalo brings the news of JackTrefts' retirement from the chairmanship ofthe Bank of Buffalo. He had served as pres.and prior to that as executive VP. Followinggraduation, Jack began his business careerwith the Electric Storage Battery Co. in De-troit and four years later returned to Buffaloto spend 26 years with his family-ownedFarrar & Trefts Inc., boiler manufacturers,where he was chairman when the firm wassold in 1956. Welcome to the clan, Jack.

Huey Hilder, who lives in the sunny climesof Christiansted, VI, at "Hildermill" Box 646,writes he is planning to return to our "45th"with Dave Solinger, both with their "betterhalves."

Joe Mittman, 1865 N. Ridge Rd., Amhurst,Ohio, sends in this information: "After 44years in the wood preservation business, Iretired June 30, 1970. We sold the co-op apt.in Bronxville and moved out here in July toour old house in the Firelands section of Ohio.The house was built in 1845, in the village ofBrownhelm, originally settled by 26 familiesfrom the Congregational Church in GreatBarrington, Mass., in 1819. My wife's greatgrandmother is buried in the cemetery aboutone mile west. She was five years old whenher family moved here. Brownhelm Village isabout 40/50 families—mostly on the NorthRidge—the local name of the most northerlyof Lake Erie's old beach lines, back to glacialtimes. The ridge is 160 feet higher and twomiles south of the present shore line. So farwe are free of urban renewal and high risehousing and other modern advantages."

Henry Hoff of Morristown reports he hasreturned home after a six week's session inthe hospital and that he hopes to return forthe Reunion, health permitting.

All indications point to a grand and glori-ous FORTY-FIFTH. Harry Wade, Reunionchairman par excellence, in his customary ex-ecutive, efficient manner has arranged a fullschedule of events for the benefit of all, cul-minating with the highlight of the entire week-end—pur own Class dinner dance on Sat.night in the beautiful Ithaca College TerraceRoom overlooking Ithaca and the surround-ing territory. This brings back fond recollec-tions to those who were present on the sameoccasion five years ago when there was narya dry eye in the entire crowd as the orches-tra accompanied us while we sang the Even-ing Song watching that big red sun set majes-tically behind the hill "in the crimson of thewest." Don't miss this never to be forgottenexperience again this year! HUNT BRADLEY

'26 WOMEN: Dear Classmates: Withonly one month to go before we return

to Ithaca for our 45th Reunion, may we tell youthat plans are really moving into high gear? Afteryou have brushed off that last bit of snow, you cantune up your motor and head for our Reunionfun, June 9 to 13.

Be sure and keep the class mailing you receivedin April. It has all the information about our bigget-to-gether.

In the meantime keep sending news of your-selves, your interests, your hobbies, to Grace Mc-Bride Van Wirt for the ALUMNI NEWS. Yourresponse has been tremendous.

CordiallyKatharine and Jeannette

News has come from Kelsey Martin Mottin Washington, DC. She cannot attend Re-union because she is going as a member ofthe US delegation to a diplomatic meetingat UNESCO in Paris for the revision of theBerne Convention and Universal CopyrightConvention. (These have to do with copy-right law.) She will also attend the AmericanBar Assn. meeting in London. You rememberthat she is an attorney in the copyright officeat the Library of Congress. She is a busy per-son and enjoys very much her three childrenand seven grandchildren.

Isabelle Schnapper Zucker (Mrs. Myron)writes from Bloomfield Hills, Mich. What abusy life she has had, and still has! The mainthrust of her activities over the years hasbeen in the field of horticulture. She haswritten two books, one a standard referencevolume on shrubs. Isabelle has received nu-merous honors connected with her horticul-tural interests, and plans to continue with herwork. She and her husband have travelled onall the continents except Antarctica. TheZuckers have one daughter and four grand-children.

Ruth Killigrew Woodruff regrets she willbe unable to return for Reunion. She is teach-ing in Goshen. Reunion date occurs at a timewhich is impossible for teachers to be absentfrom school. In addition, Ruth is retiring thisJune. This means she will be attending manyfestivities in her honor.

The Cornell Classman in its March issuereports the annual mid-winter meeting washeld Jan. 23d in NYC. 300 officers and guestsrepresenting classes from 1909 to 1971 at-tended.

Jack Ostrom reported on the annual finan-cial and activity questionnaires. He pointedout that the summaries and rating system areset up for classes to rate themselves and notto offer prizes to highly rated classes. '26Women had 76.7 points with the average be-ing 146.

This will probably be the last column be-fore Reunion. Look in your Directory of theClass of '26 and find out who lives in yourgeographical area, make up a car pool, andcome back to Cornell.

Esther Pearlinan may have established arecord for our class in the number of timesshe has crossed the Atlantic and Pacific. Sheprefers to travel by ship rather than air, anduses tramp steamers and cargo ships, findingthem more interesting and fun than deluxeocean liners. She writes this concerning her1971 winter plans. "I shall spend the winterin the Canary Islands. I have an apartmentthere for three months, leaving the US aboutmid-November on a freighter. I hope to visitMorocco before going to Tenerife. The shipcomes in either to Tangiers or Casablanca, somaybe I'll get a long awaited chance to visitMarrakesh. After the Canaries, I shall goup to the Continent to visit in England, Hol-land and Belgium. Hope you are makingplans for reunion. I plan to go."

7O"7 WOMEN: A wonderful time of£- / year, isn't it? With no concessions

to Florida! More and more of you mentionretirement, and seem to be doing excitingthings with the freer time.

Rose Mary Mehegan O'Connor has beenat Claremont College, Cal. taking a coursein "Abstruse Poetry." Son Philip and familylive nearby. He is guidance counsellor atAlta Loma. Apparently the course is oneconcerning many phases of aesthetics, forshe writes, "Phil went to the County Museumwith me to do my 'homework,' the CubistEpoch. He was trained at Yankee Stadiumand Ebbets Field—not at the GuggenheimMuseum of Modern Art. If I had to take atest, I'd be reduced to his conclusion, 'StillLife with Mandolin.' "

Rose Mary and Ruth O'Connor McHughenjoy being together each year for theShakespeare Seminar at Stratford, Ontario.Walt (Law '28) and Ann McCreary Reillyare proud grandparents, and also enjoyed atrip to Ireland last summer, according toRuth, who also met—quite by chance—Barbara Wright Mahon as they passed eachother in the Albany airport. The two ofthem, with Mary Esther '64 (Ruth's daughtertravelling on the same incoming plane), hada late supper and unexpected reunion. MaryEsther had a baby girl on Election Day.While Ruth was in Falls Church for thehappy event, she had occasion to make aCornell tour of the State Dept. facilities andto be present at a luncheon with Mrs. AdeleLangston Rogers '33-^"a charming fund-raising event." She adds, "It was thrilling tosee and hear Sir Kenneth Clark when he re-ceived honors from the Mellon Art folks forhis CIVILISATION series."

Martin and Carol Spicer Leatherman havehad an exciting time this past year. Justlisten to the account of their travels. "InFebruary went island hopping in Caribbeanarea: Jamaica, Puerto Rico, St. Martin, andSt. John. Then in May, a five-week all-flyingtour visiting 11 countries in Europe, includ-ing Yugoslavia and Hungary. Saw the Pas-sion Play in Oberammergau. This fall wedrove out to New Mexico and westernColorado, nearly 6000 miles in all, seeingsome of the Indian country and more of the

Rockies, and a lot of the US which we hadflown over but never really seen before. Thiswinter we hope to take another five-weekall-flying tour, this time 'Round the World.'Will go to Ethiopia and hope to see DotSharpe Trefts and Bud while in Addis Ababa.We saw them there three years ago when wewere in Africa. At that time, neither of uswould ever have imagined meeting thereagain!"

A card from Orpha Spicer Zimmer sentfrom St. Moritz, Switzerland, received bySid in March, indicates that the Zimmers areequally peripatetic: "Dec. 4 we left by boatfor South America, where we spent over twomonths exploring Argentina pampas andsouth Lake country, Chile, Bolivia, Peru,Ecuador and Venezuela (the beauty and con-trasts, fabulous Inca remains, people wholive as they did thousands of years ago).After ten days of sun and ocean in Barbados,we went home just long enough to changesummer clothes for winter ones, then camehere. Three weeks of the incomparable skiingthis place provides and a week each in Zurichand Vienna for opera, music, ballet and art."

Franklin and Emily Auge Pennell reporthappily that their daughter Emily Lee '62and her hubsand Edgar Wilson Brick had ason, Andrew Whitten, on Jan. 24. "Now wehave all of two grandchildren. Can't be ac-cused of over-populating, can we?" She re-ports further that her husband retired twoyears ago this past October and that they aretruly enjoying themselves.

More and more of you are mentioning ournext Reunion. Was it Sid or Carmen whonoticed that '27 and '72 bear some resem-blance? Plan ahead!

struction. He has served the Mobile districtof the Corps of Engineers in a key capacitysince 1950 when he was appointed on-siteresident engineer for constructing the JimWoodruff Lock, Dam and Powerhouse onthe Florida Apalachicola River.

Your correspondent sent a letter to theNew York Times relative to an entomologi-cal problem affecting the Rambagh Palacehotel in Jaipur, India. It was published inthe travel section, Jan. 24, 1971. A copy wassent to Nancy and Temp Fielding, in Mal-lorca, who shortly replied on perusing theepistle, "We're indeed fortunate that hedoesn't author an Alexander's Travel Guideto Europe!'' Their European travel guide forfootloose Americans is a must in my opinion.The publication proved invaluable to me lastyear—even though I have "worked" the con-tinent regularly for the past 25 years, undermy own steam.

Glad to hear from Robert (Bob) Dodge,Washington, DC who reports he has nothingearth-shaking to put in the CORNELL ALUMNINEWS. "I am too involved in this and that todecide on retirement now." Harold Lowen-

stein, Columbia, SC observes, "Don't likebeing retired." A. C. Mott, Ajijic, Jalisco,Mexico, writes that he has been retired forthe past three years, and has been living inJalisco since the summer of 1970. Did youever try typing "Ajijic"~fast? You could loseyour mind in the process!

"Have made plans to retire as VP of theDetroit Edison Co., effective April 1, 1971."This, from John W. Drummond. "I trustCornell will overcome its present conditionand again become a university of which wecan be proud." Touche, "JW"!

LAST CALL 40 FOR ALL

-i I MEN: It is wonderful, and some-^J -L times humiliating, what you find

when clearing up your office at home andmore especially your desk.

We found a letter from Russell L. Lawson,almost two years old, which we hope still hassome correct news in it. Russ gave us an in-teresting history including 20 years of mer-chandising for Sears Roebuck & Co., mostlyin Chicago, followed by early retirement andthen eight years in general management withcorporations who were suppliers to Sears.Problems were somewhat nerve-wracking, sonine years ago Russ and one son set up acredit and collection business in Wheaton,111., which has been pleasantly successful. Hehas also had time for improving his golfhandicap, one stroke a year, and for travelin this country and abroad. He hopes to makeReunion this year. Our excuses, Russ.

John M. Walsh Jr. sent a very cheery card.He retired as general superintendent of GaryWorks, U.S. Steel Corp., in October 1969,and he and Celest are spending summers onSeneca Lake, address Middle Rd., Burdett,and winters in Sarasota at 2215 Beneva Rd.Their twin sons Jack and Frank '59 have pre-sented them with five grandchildren. We hopeJack and Celest find time to come to Ithacathis June.

Leon J. Morse says he has had it as far ascommerce, industry and family are con-cerned. He is looking for one more challengeand has joined VISTA to try to get it.

Richmond B. Shreve, and this also is hu-miliating as it too is almost two years old,drove across country to Calif, and Wash,visiting with Ralph (Skin) Ryan and his wife,Marge Bentley '35 and with Pat's cousin inPalo Alto. Pat wrote the Eye Bank articlein the Oct. 1968 issue of the NEWS. On Feb-ruary 9th we had breakfast in San PedroSula, Honduras with a Tiny Brelsford fromCoconut Grove, Fla. who is very active inEye Bank program. A small world.

We are writing this between business tripsin order to meet deadlines. Returned Satur-day, February 13th late at night from Miami,Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico and leaveagain, with my wife this time, for Australiaand New Zealand. Back home again for ashort spell on March 14th. We will be gladfor a spell at home. BRUCE W. HACKSTAFF

'32 MEN: Robert P. Tobin (picture),160 El Monte Ct., Los Altos, Calif.,

says: "We are in good•f if* health with our usual

If we can recover sufficiently, we willdo a little fishing in September on the TyneRiver near Scotland. Then we will rest upuntil June 1972 so we can survive the 40th."

Robert C. Trier Jr. was named VP, andinnkeeper at the Lansdale Holiday Inn inKulpsville, Pa. The inn was scheduled to openlast Nov. 30. Bob has been a hotelman for35 years and has held managerial positionsin Maine, Florida and the Poconos. His lastpost was at Gwynedd, Pa. Bob and Elizabethhave two sons: Robert III, recently a sub-mariner in the Navy, and Russell S., a lieu-tenant in the Army.

Carl Schabtach, 1300 Ruffner Rd.,Schenectady, retired last June after 37 yearswith GE, the last 20 as manager of engineer-ing, large steam turbine-generator dept. Hesays: "With first mate, wife Bee (ElizabethPaine '33) spent a month cruising the inlandwaterway from Vancouver to Skagway,Alaska, fishing for salmon near Ketchikanand for trout on the Rogue and Mackenzierivers in Oregon and visiting son Eric and twograndsons in Eugene, Ore. The summerpassed quickly as we extracted rocks from ourfields and laid them up into terraces and wallsat "Backacres," North Bolton with someswimming and sailboat racing on LakeGeorge for recreation."

Carl adds that they visited Greece andPortugal during September and October be-fore returning home for snow-blowing, iceskating, indoor tennis and occasional snow-shoeing or skiing expeditions. And they planto sun and sea at Antigua and Tobago beforespring comes. It seems that the Schabtachsare as much a source of energy as anythingwhich may have come out of the large steamturbine-generator Dept. during Carl's tenurethere.

W. Napoleon Rivers lives at 4011 Massa-chusetts Ave., SE Washington, DC. He re-tired in 1969 as chairman, div. of foreign lan-guages at the DC Teachers College and wasappointed this year as executive developmentofficer of the same institution.

Sigmund Sternberg Jr., 20 Sutton PL S,NYC, writes in a very bold hand: "Well (!)won the Sunningdale Golf Championship!"In far smaller writing he appends the words"Class C." That's what we like, a chap who'smodest in ways that don't hardly show at all.

I suspectedhe was retiring, but he advised: "My com-pany SUFLEX/IWI, Div. of Essex Int., Inc.,is moving from Woodside to Newmarket,NH, (Richard Pew please note), and I amgoing with it. Thank goodness I'm not retir-ing yet. I don't think I will like that. I missedthe 35th Reunion due to a pressure of otherthings, but perhaps I'll be able to make the40th. I wish I had been able to be more activefor Cornell while in New York, but circum-stances didn't permit. Maybe NH will bedifferent." (Class officers please note.)

Jacob (Jake) Rosenzweig advised some-

time last year: "News of note is only ofoffspring. Edwin—soph, at Penn State inaerospace—has made dean's list every term;the last was only 4.0. Martin S. enters theU of Pittsburgh this fall. He is also an honorsstudent. Just received notice he was first inAmerican Legion scholarship contest for ourstate senatorial district #44. My wife, Ruth,and I are both well and proud of the successof our youngsters." (Our congratulations toyou both!)

Richard D. (Dick) Vanderwarker, presi-dent of Memorial Sloan-Kettering CancerCenter, reported last May as follows:"Gwynne A. Austin, with his brother, ownsthe Roosevelt Hotel, 7th and Pine Sts., Seattle,Wash. They alternate business and vacation.When last reported, Gwynne was cruising inhis 40-foot sloop. Another retired hotblman(Andy Cipriani was first) is Wendall E.(Wendy) Muntz, so I guess some of the ho-telmen have made up for their long hourswith early retirement. Chester C. Coats ownsand operates the Sherwood Inn in Skanea-teles, which he purchased in 1945. William I.(Bill) Pentecost is president of the West SideBank, in Scranton, Pa., where Bill is also veryactive in community affairs. Richard H. Pewis head of the hotel administration programat the U of NH in Durham (Ed Snyder pleasenote). Dick accepted this post in 1963 aftera career in hotel management.

"William C. (Bill) Beall and I, with ourfamilies, had a magnificent experience invisiting Hans A. (Al) Hochbaum, PhD, inDelta, Manitoba. Al is director of the DeltaWaterfowl Research Station there. It was theheight of the duck and geese season. We hadsuperb shooting and a great reunion. Al is aforemost expert on waterfowl, as well as anextremely competent artist. His artwork wasexhibited in Winnipeg while we were there.He has become very successful in this fieldas well." (While in the Laurentians, north ofMontreal, on vacation last fall, your corres-pondent had the pleasure of watching a one-hour color special on TV one evening aboutthe migration of Canadian geese, of whichthere are some 28 types, if I remember cor-rectly. Al was involved in this because hisname was mentioned at the end of the film.It was really an excellent production.)

One final note. Please read, or reread, thearticle, "Help Is Sought For Paralyzed Grid-der," on p. 29 of the Jan. 1971 CORNELLALUMNI NEWS. Give the Ken Kunken Fundyour utmost support. "Projected costs areastronomical with no end in sight."

XZL WOMEN: After asking classmates^ who have married Cornellians to

send me news direct, since it does not comevia Gladys Fielding Miller, our class sub-scription representative, in the regular way

but goes instead to the man's correspondent,and after giving out my Los Angeles addressfor the purpose, I promptly made arrangements to move. Since our classmates are stillanxious to learn what is new in the lives ofALL other classmates, please write down,and mail me, family events, your opinionsand activities, addressed, from now on, to:342A Hackensack Street, Wood-Ridge, NewJersey. The reason for the change is a trans-fer to the office of the American Heart Assnin NYC, where I am now located, with thetitle "Community Program Specialist." I ar-rived there just one day before the Los An-geles earthquake, and am glad to report thatnone of our classmates live in the hard-hitSan Fernando Valley.

You'll be glad to know that more '34'shave decided to join the ranks of ALUMNINEWS subscribers: Lois Bowen, 43 West 85St., NYC, and Harriet Field Colville, 2045E Second St., Tucson, Ariz, among the latest.

Maud Sargent, landscape architect withCohn Engineers, New Haven, and MargaretWinters '36, a colleague from Griswold,Winters, Swain in Pittsburgh, found a num-ber of other Cornellians in attendance at thebiennial meeting of the International Feder-ation of Landscape Architects in Lisbon lastfall, -according to Maud. As with many pro-fessions, a major concern of the meeting wasecology, says Maud, who reports she is en-gaged on the home front in a number ofinteresting projects. Although not workingat it professionally, Maud reports, BarbaraKimball Wiezel is working on the challengeof making a mobile home community in theBoston area an attractive spot.

Barbara Kirby Moore does not want toclimb mountains under false colors. She hascorrected my earlier story of her exploitswith the explanation that climbing in thePeruvian Andes is her son's project, and heis hoping to do it again next summer. He tooktime from his Christmas vacation to climbMount Diablo, Lower Calif., Mexico, un-doubtedly an especially interesting sport fora graduate student in geology. Barbara islooking forward to her husband's sabbaticalleave next year, when the whole family willbe London bound while he does research inthe British Museum there.

The "Boneheads," who collaborated at somany Reunions to put on an old-time mid-night spread for classmates, are now reducedto only four in NYC, reports Tilli Hoch-meister. She says she, Esther Liebowitz, ourformer treas. Ellie Shapiro Rappaport andRose Gaynor Veras still manage to get to-gether once in a while, however. Now retiredfrom social work, Tilli is enjoying travel,including trips to the British Isles, Alaska andWashington, westward, and south to Virginiaand Florida.

Write Elsie Starks Shreeve from 4612Drexel Rd., College Park, Md., "My husbandhas just retired as head, ME dept, U ofMaryland, and is on sabbatical this year.When he returns to teaching and research,he will have summers off at long last, and wemay get to spend them at Ocean City. Thecottage we built there last year is on a widelagoon, looking out into the bay, just a fewblocks from the ocean. We'll soon need aguest house; just had a fourth grandaughterin September."

Eleanor Taylor Acklin still holds thegrandchild record, however, for her latest"News and Dues" note says she has 15 ...all^great. "Skeets" is working hard at being agood food service manager of three dorms,plus catering at the home of the new uni-versity president in Lansing, Mich.

Ruth Norgren Schaub, DC, reports thestate of affairs at 65 Port Watson St., Cort-land, as a battleground of confusions at thispoint, but concludes that "life is great," whichsounds like the girl who kept trying to pileclassmates into her pint-sized1 car in dozenlots at our last Reunion.

Shehas taken short trips to settle family affairsin Willimantic, Conn, and visit in OceanCity, NJ, and had a glorious time in Paris ona Cornell-sponsored nine-day tour, a trip toCape Charles, Va. to see the solar eclipse, acruise to San Juan, and a fall trip into thecolorful New England area. Eleanor con-cludes, "I'm in the same frame of mind asthose Indians on the long journey who in-sisted on sitting down for a while to let theirsouls catch up with their bodies."

The Ellison Taylors (Ruth Young and Elli-son '35) hosted the full family last fall inboth Oak Ridge and Ellison's home in Maine.There, Ruth says, she had the fun of intro-ducing her first granddaughter to the ocean, amatter of great glee for both. Both Taylorsons are doing graduate work at Berkeley.

May Bjornsen Neel's Christmas card pic-tured a serious grandmother with two ador-able tykes, Carlton and "HB" Neel, and aproud grandfather with baby Britta andMaj-Stina Lundstrum, a good explanationwhy we missed having one of our classtrustees with us in June 1969. Though seri-ous, May looked in good health and spirits,the photo revealed in its less than 1000words. BARBARA WHITMORE HENRY

Lucy was married Feb. 27 to Anthony E.Vedrich in Albany. Long distance arrange-ments, even for a small wedding, kept mebusy and this column went undone. Lucyand Tony will be making their home in SanFrancisco, and we are very happy for them.

'37 WOMEN: The last weekend in Jan-uary Esther Dillenbeck Prudden

and yours truly were in NYC to see someplays and reune with some of the peoplewith whom we toured the Orient last Octo-ber. Then I flew up to Lockport with Dulyand can report all her 800 color slides ofHawaii and the Orient are beautiful. I alsocribbed the following notes from her Christ-mas card pile:

From Ginny Cobb, who lives at 177 BluhmRoad, Fairport: ". . . off to the Caribbeanfor 2V2 weeks for Christmas vacation. LovedRussia and London last Christmas but I'lltake the sun this year . . ."

I plan to come back in1972 for Reunion."

Jeanne Wake Reis, sharply scolded by thisnagging correspondent for not writing any-thing but her name on her Christmas greet-ing, came through with a letter at long last."In the hope of getting out of your doghouse,here's the low down: The Reis gang is fine.Bob ('39) still with same company, tearing

out the little bit of hair he has left becauseof general business conditions. Son Rob hasbeen with a bond brokerage firm in NewYork for four years and loves it ... likesbeing a bachelor, likes to fly and scuba dive(teaches it too), is in National Guard.

Sometimes I wonder why but con-vince myself that if I'm going to do volun-tary work it couldn't be for a better cause.It's terribly time consuming but equally chal-lenging, frustrating, and at times even re-warding."

Classmates John and Sharrot Mayer Hen-derson were leaving for the Barbados ("tosoak up some warm air, we hope") whenSharrot wrote in late January. "At last Ihave some news to tell you . . . about Joan'swedding Dec. 12. Joan graduated from Buck-nell in '66, got her Masters in English therein '67. Her Husband (P.

• Λ MEN: Is it May already? Some-^^ how, at this writing, it still seems

like March, which it is. It's always kind ofcrazy, trying to project the column twomonths forward, knowing that the frozen-fingered facts of March will be read in thewarm sunshine of May.

So ... let's project ourselves backwardthis time and try to update some news itemsthat seem to have accumulated since, oh,roughly, the Spanish-American war. That'sbecause I'm fresh out of fresh items. If times,ages, and places come out wrong, forgive me.I'll try to spell the names right.

Steve Fordham's son Malcolm is backfrom the Vietnam bit; oldest son, Dave '65is living in Sparta, NJ. Steve & Marionhave 3 grandchildren. Martin Beck is stillrunning radio station WGLI (Babylon) andWKMF (Flint, Mich.). He and Lorraineare also grandparents, via daughter Susanand husband. Son Stuart is in Yale Law.Marty says he sees Len Roberts, Hal Segall,and Herb Golman regularly. Bill Walter re-ports two sons in the army, one just out ofthe U of Hawaii and one at Dartmouth.

Bernie Bachman is a partner with Touche,Ross & Co., with offices around the world. Isalso chairman of the budget comm. forUnited Community Services of N Essex, NJ.Jim Miller's family report reads thus: twosons in the service, one at Clarkson College,a daughter in high school. Jim is commercialmanager of the Deposit Telephone Co.

Charles Kotary is chairman of the sciencedept. at Little Falls High School. Three ofhis children—Karen, Patrick, and Charles—are married. The 4th, Jeanne, attends SUNYat Potsdam. Jack Kittle reports a trip east lastyear, during which he visited Jane andGeorge Smith and Jane & Bill Kruse and alsoreturned to the campus for the first time sinceour—oh, my!—10th Reunion.

From Ralph Graham:"After 28 years of married life during which

we reared and educated two daughters andmoved about the country a bit, my bride (Ber-nardine) and I finally took a non business ori-ented vacation. We sgent four weeks in theOrient including a three day visit in Hawaii. Ourtwo daughters are in Phoenix. Pat, our elderdaughter is married with two children, 1 g, 1 b.Val, the younger is a legal secretary. Have justcompleted my tenth year with the J. R. SimplotCo., Pocatello, Idaho representing it in Arizona,California and Nevada. Simplot is a major phos-phate fertilizer producer in the west."

Can anyone beat the Cornell family rec-ord of Leo Glasser? His son Bob, now in theHotel School, is the 7th Cornellian in Leo'sfamily: great-uncle Joseph Storz '07; fatherLeo '12; Leo; brother Otto '40; son Fred'65; niece Diane Novy, '69 grad; son Bob'71. Now, there's brand loyalty.

Some new (circa 1970-71) changes ofaddress: Dick Anderson, 6060-D AverillWay, Dallas; Bob Bodholdt, 91 VeteransRd., Winthrop, Mass.; Phil Callanan, 2 PeterCooper Rd., NYC; George Frees, 8 SouthAve., Santa Isidra, Fajardo, Puerto Rico;Buzz Hines, 200 Pierce Ave., Hamburg; BobMintz, 15 W 72nd St., NYC.

Hey, that's all we have space for. Untillater, peace. STEPHEN DEBAUN

'38 WOMEN: This must be brief as Iam rushed (leaving for Florida in

about eight hours). Next month I'll make upfor it, hopefully.

We have a few address changes which Iwant to speed on their way: best wishes toJean Doren who is now Mrs. John Rezelmanand lives at 117 Haverling St., Bath; LeilaCrowell Johnson wishes to be known as Mrs.Leila C. Johnson and her new address is OldPort Road, Kennebunk, Me.

Also, Mary Dixon Goelz has a new ad-dress (since the one listed in the Januaryflyer from George More). Dixie is now at250 Whitmore St., Apt. 204, Oakland, Calif.She has really ruined my address book since1938! A few other changes for all of us in,ahem, 32 years? Toodle-oo.

Dick Kinscherf Jr. of 270 N Ithan, Villa-nova, Pa. was visiting with Bill Lynch re-cently and while browsing through a copyof Abandon Ship they came to a referenceto big John R. Furman, then a Lt.

Big Johnreports his son Harry '69 is with P&G inPhiladelphia and lives in Audubon, Pa.

This is my swan song, and having used upall the news I urge you to take pen in handso there will be something for your regularreporter, Ralph McCarty, to put in the Juneissue on his return from his Mexican sab-batical. Γn closing, and before I get a floodof protests, my March report on Walter Bar-low should have said "five trustees."

'39 AM—Canada's ambassador to theSoviet Union, Robert Ford, told a CanadaPress interviewer, "You have to have fairlystrong nerves to be a Western ambassador inMoscow. . . . you are somewhat isolated."Nevertheless, he finds living in Moscow "tol-erable," and spends weekends listening toRussian music and translating Russian poetry.

Newsman Harold Morrison reports Rus-sian authorities occasionally harangue Fordand his staff about the imbalance in Soviet-Canadian trade; the Russians argue Canadashould accept more Russian goods. Fordfinds, however, that the fault lies primarilywith the Soviet Union. "The Russians mustproduce the right goods and they must knowhow to sell," Ford commented. In one case,where Canadians did show interest in pur-chasing a particular type of Soviet plane, theRussians suddenly withdrew from negotia-tions, he added.

As Russian ambassador for seven yearsnow, Ford is vice-dean of the diplomaticcorps, and with his Brazilian-born wifeThereze presides at many dinners.

Eachperson decided what he wanted to learn, whathe wanted to produce—a dissertation, a book,a new school—how fast you wanted to go,etc. Professors can be chosen from a list ofgreat people around the country: for exam-ple, Kenneth Clark, Margaret Mead, EdgarFriedenberg, Warren Bennis, and about 200others.

HEDY NEUTZE ALLES

ZLZL MEN: Let's hope the typewriter1 doesn't fail, because several mem-

bers of the Class are to be referred to astripsters. . . . Ah, made it, and without anyFreudian slip. Anyway, Hal Wood was plan-ning a ski trip to Courchevel, France, in Jan-uary. Planning is right, since he was one ofthe organizers of a charter flight for the TulsaSki Club. Hal's address is 217 E 24th St.,Tulsa, Okla.

Some of Bob Rochlin's travel was a bitearlier. In 1970 he participated in the StrategicArms Limitation Talks (SALT) in Vienna.

He is head of the policy and measures div.of the US Arms Control & DisarmamentAgency. He lives at 5007 Earlston Dr.,Bethesda, Md. Gil Smith, our long-time Cali-fprnian, took his children on an "inspira-tional trip" to see some eastern colleges lastJune. Gil reports he was the only one in-spired. He was fascinated to find all the oldivy-covered buildings that had appeared onthe campus since "my time." That's the newsfrom Dr. Gilbert I. Smith, 13754 Howen Dr.,Saratoga, Calif. He said nothing about therowing tanks in Teagle, the new boathouse,nor about the non-turning Cayuga Inlet.Maybe Gil didn't retrace all his steps of 30years ago.

Another Californian who has done sometraveling is Milt Stolaroff, 4614 NorthridgeDr., Los Angeles. Milt, who was a widower,remarried several months after returningfrom our 25th Reunion. He and his wife havetaken two trips to Europe, with one of themextended to Greece, Turkey, Yugoslavia,Lebanon, and Israel. As Mort describes it,"Fabulous." Added to this, he became agrandfather. (Can't be. My classmates aren'tthat old, are they?) Bob Gerhard is anothertraveler, but for a longer time. At this writinghe is scheduled to move to New Delhi, India,where he will be managing dir. of AmocoIndia. Bob isn't new to overseas assignments,having spent 1960-1962 in Paris.

Phil McGinnis isn't a traveler, so ArtKesten and I missed him at the Class OfficersAssoc. meeting in NYC last January. Butwife Dee Jaye (Gordon '48 Nursing) wasthere for her Class, and visited with us. Philand Dee Jaye have a daughter who is a seniorat the U of Delaware, a son in his freshmanyear at the College of Wooster, boys in highschool, and a three-year-old daughter. Soundsas if Phil will be doing little traveling for awhile, so visit him at 1000 Baylor Dr.,Newark, Del.

Back to the "on the go-ers," Bob andIsabel Gallagher took a few days of vacationthat included the Super Bowl. Bob's family,like Phil's, is in a state of separated together-ness. Bob Jr. is at the U of Denver, whereCharlie Williams' daughter graduated lastyear; Cissy is at Boston College; and otherGallaghers are a senior in high school headedfor Arizona State, a freshman in high school,and a sixth grader. Bob was admitted as anunderwriting member of Lloyd's of Londonlast year. There are 6,000 UK citizens and25 Americans.

Len Myers decided to do what many of uswould like to do—get away from the bigcities. Last fall he moved from Hartford toSt. Albans, Vt. His sales territory extendsfrom Burlington north to the Canadian bor-der, and from the NYS line east to the JayPeak ski area. Len's big regret is that he is abit far from Art Kesten's "Downstate '44 Re-unions." Art will have to coordinate the nextone with Len's travel plans. Len has a daugh-ter at the U of Rochester and a son at GeorgeSchool. His address is 191 High St. (great forthe beer business), St. Albans. What betterclosing line? That's it!

Textbooks NeededWars destroy libraries too, writes Dr.

W. Okefie Uzoaga, AM '53, Dean of BusinessAdministration at the U of Nigeria.

"Things were working fairly well," hewrites, "until the civil war broke out. . . .Since the end of the war my staff and I havebeen engaged in the difficult task of recon-struction of the Faculty of Business Admin-istration whose library and equipments asindeed those of other faculties of the Uni-versity were virtually destroyed during thewar. It has dawned on me after a year ofthis effort that our resources are patently in-adequate to make a significant dent on thetask before us."

Dr. Uzoaga is hampered by meagre finan-cial resources and foreign exchange restric-tions. The Ford Foundation has provided 10copies of textbooks in major courses, but "theprospect of improving by purchases on whatwe have is very bleak. . . ."

Texts in such fields as accountancy, eco-nomics, statistics, taxation, marketing, bank-ing, land management, and insurance wouldbe much appreciated.

attracted smaller numbers each year, yourclass officers are attempting to look into newareas for class activities.

At a recent meeting, Don Geery and I dis-cussed the possibility of group travel underclass sponsorship. Our first idea was to set upa long week-end package to a resort area likeBermuda, or to a European destination suchas London or Paris.

She de-signed it from the ground up—authentic NewEngland colonial, of course. We have threesons—Jeff, 16; Dave, 13; and Eddie, 5. Snowskiing is the latest thing. We miss the proxim-ity of good ski areas that we enjoyed in Syra-cuse. This gives us a good excuse for wintervacations in snow country."

WOMEN: Here are my general im-pressions of the Class Dinner held

in February at the Cornell Club. It was agreat evening; '53 men out-representedwomen by 7 to 1 (the ratio never lets up);and lawyers out-represented all other profes-sions by 1-don't-know-how-much.

To mention ladies first, there were, besidesyour reporter, Claire Moran with her hus-band Clark Ford, and Lilian Affinito whocame with Bruce Binig. Lilian, who lookedchic, works for Simplicity Patterns and isactive in Cornell affairs. Bruce works forTown & Country magazine. Claire and Clarklive in Westport, where Clark commutes toa NYC advertising agency. Another Connecti-cut-commuter ad man we saw was Rich Johnwith his wife Grace, of Darien. Rich is withDancer Fitzgerald.

Now the lawyers. There were Bob Harrisof Woodmere and Jack Manning of LakeGeorge, with their respective wives, Enid andMarjorie; Ed and Barbara Wolk, New YorkEast Siders who have a new baby boy, theirsecond child; Mort and Anita Bunis; Ira andNancy Greenblatt of Woodmere; RobertGreenfield, who left Oakland to practice inHackensack; Ned Pattison with his wife, theformer Ellie Copley '54. Ned is active in poli-tics in Troy, where he ran for Congress. Atpresent he is county treas. there, as well ascarrying on a private law practice. And fin-ally, there was Burton Fine, a former lawpartner of Sandy Posner.

Sandy wasn't present but another old Cor-nell Daily Sun man was : Jim Hanchett, whoworks for the NY Daily News. Setting somesort of record on interesting statistics, Jimannounced that his nephew, born in Aug.1953, will enter Cornell this fall as a fresh-man. Doesn't that make you feel too old tocut the mustard?

There may have been even more lawyers.For instance, I don't know what work BillGratz does, but when he's not doing it he isbig on boating and skiing. Peter Cooper, therewith his wife, the former Jean Thompson '54,said: "I'm the only one here with the samejob, same wife, same number of kids, sametown, less hair and more pounds.

I didn't learn what Joe Hinsey does, either.He and wife Phyllis Larve '56 live in Scars-dale.

Klaus Brinkman and his German wife,Irene, were at the same table with Bob Neffand his Colombian wife, Christine. Bob runsa cargo airline at Kennedy (Seaboard WorldAirlines) and Christine, a smashing blondewhom he met at a bullfight, commutes toColombia where she breeds cattle. (How'sthat for breaking the "trapped housewife"syndrome?)

Bruce Denker is chief instructor at Teter-borough School of Aviation. He also teachesat the Haydn Planetarium, among otherplaces, and does aviation writing. He lives inRiverdale.

Mike Hicky is an engineer with an MBAfrom NYU. He is director of Mar-KanicsCorp., a firm of market engineers in Paramus.He's another one (besides Bob Greenfield)who left Oakland for the lure of New Jersey.

Bob Abrams introduced the speaker, VPSteve Muller, PhD '58, who gave a fascinat-ing account of Cornell Today (unrecogniza-ble, but still going great guns). Afterwards,a bunch of us dropped in at Dick Kirwan'snew restaurant-cum-bar just a block or soaway, and impossible to miss because of thehuge "Dick Kirwan" sign out front. At leastone of us has gotten his name in lights.

If I left anyone out, I'll be glad to print allletters of complaint, in fact, all letters youcare to send. SANDY BANGILSDORF KLEIN

'54 WOMEN: Our class seems to besuffering much, much more than its

share of heartbreak. From the Alumni Of-fice this month came a copy of a newspaperarticle describing the tragic death of RitaSimen Dorrance, Feb. 7, in a fire at herhome.

Attempts toreach Rita, who had remained downstairswatching TV, were futile because of the in-tense heat and smoke. Their home, at 101Frost Avenue, Phillipsburg, NJ, was com-pletely destroyed.

How weak and fruitless is the word "sym-pathy" in the face of such a terrible loss.To Jack, the children, the Zelda, to the restof the family . . . may we extend to you what-ever consolation can be found in a painthat's shared by many. JANICE JAKES KUNZ

"\ jr\ MEN: The only news you will findv v in this column this month is that

of our fifteenth Reunion. By now, you haveprobably received much mail about the ac-tivities commencing on June 9. What has in-trigued many of us is the thought that thisReunion can be shared with the entire fam-ily, and at relatively little cost.

It is possible that you have not been backto Ithaca since graduation. If not, you havea big surprise in store. Cornell has grownbeautifully, and the recent banning of carson center campus has returned the collegeto the students instead of the automobile.

The response to this Reunion has beenvery good. Our Reunion chairman, LarryCaldwell, has planned many interesting ac-tivities. We sincerely hope that you will givecareful consideration to joining us.

As you can tell, there has been very littlenews coming into my hands. Please write meat 505 East 79th St. in NYC. I need news.See you at Reunion! ' STEVEN KITTENPLAN

David Newburge, whom I have seen atseveral of our '57 class luncheons in NYCeach month, is a producer. His new musicalshow, "Stag Movie," opened off-Broadway atthe Gate Theater, 2nd Ave. and 10th St. It'sa low, bawdy burlesque about a group ofBroadway losers who try to strike it rich byfilming the world's first musical stag film.Though the show seemed to shock and horrifyseveral of the more uptight New York critics,who found it sheer pornography, it is reallya satire and in the same bawdy tradition asthe ancient Greek or Roman comedies. Raveswere given, however, from the hipper critics,such as Cue Magazine, the Associated Press,ABC-TV, etc., and of course, Pleasure Maga-zine. David invites any classmates to dropover to the theatre to see "Stag Movie,"which he believes many will enjoy immenselyand find quite funny. ROY A. GLAH

K I WOMEN: Was so happy to havevx / news from Connie Dimock Sebald,

Rt. 1, Box 702, Morrison, Colo. During thewarm months she conducts a water skiing,sailing and swimming school at their lake.Winters find her teaching 18-year-olds in Sun-day School and eight-year-olds in third grade.No mention of skiing—and from a Colorad-ian! Connie adds: "Have two marvelous chil-dren and a dear husband [J. Albert '54] who

is much too busy in the practice of law, but,as they all do—loves it!"

Another who loves Colorado, but from anEast Coast residence, is Allison Parker, 3Chesterlee Lane, Swampscott, Mass. Some-time during each winter she tries to leavebehind the world of teaching Spanish tojuniors and seniors in high school, and headsfor the glorious slopes of Vail.

Janet Nelson Cole loves that spot also.Twice now she, husband Noman, and theirtwo sons have journeyed to that mountain-land where the boys tend to put their parentsto shame on the slopes. The Coles are defi-nitely a Family For Ecology. They live at5917 River Dr. on the Potomac at HallowingPoint in Lorton, Va. Since building there tenyears ago they have done much to keep thearea in its natural state. They helped to, initi-ate action with a few neighbors to secure5,000 acres of parkland, which were officiallyposted as the Mason Neck Nat'l WildlifePreserve in summer 1969. (The WashingtonPost commented editorially on the successof this group of citizens in initiating action.)Discovering that four Fairfax County sewagetreatment plants were grossly overloaded, andthat a new plant being built near them coulddump raw sewage into the river even if shutdown for a short time, the Coles and othersfound that publicity, public pressure and ahearing before the state water control boarddid impose a moratorium on building. Theyfound it most gratifying to see the systemwork if pressed hard enough; Gov. Holtonhad four vacancies to fill on his State WaterControl Bd., asked Noman to be one of themembers, and soon Noman found himselfChairman—this in addition to his "job" atMPR Associates in Washington.

Janet went back to school part-time lastfall at George Washington U's grad schoolof urban and regional planning. She isAAUW branch president pushing the nationalstudy topics of urban problems and conser-vation, and does a weekly column for a localpaper pushing the ecology bit. Keith, 12V2is president of his "Teens Against Pollution"Club. Nelson, 10, enjoys playing the pianowhen indoors, but both boys tend to be out-of-doors barefoot whenever possible.

Janet Slater Lobsenz (Mrs. Theodore)writes from 105 Lowell Rd., Glen Rock, NJ.Now that her three children are all in school,she finds herself pres. of the League ofWomen Voters, a member of her Templeboard of education, and active in PTA busi-ness which causes her to visit the Board ofEd quite often in Glen Rock.

r\ pc MEN: This month's mail broughtv W a rather philosophical letter from

Ed Weinstein, who has the only law officeon the Las Vegas "strip." Ed writes about thegambling troubles, the divorce cases, and theimmigration hassles when a casino imports anew chef. But mostly he writes about thedifferent way of life which sets Vegas apartfrom the rest of our society, and certainlyfrom Cornell—the 24-hour-a-day pursuit ofthe dollar, the lack of friendship, the quick-sand schemes, the incredible pace. If you'rein Vegas and need a good lawyer—or justsomeone to straighten out that weird worldfor you—Ed sounds like a good bet.

She studied400 black and white children aged 3 to 5 inan attempt to learn about the children's self-concept. To quote from the book's dustjacket, "One surprising and encouraging con-clusion of her research is that the actual in-teraction patterns of preschool-age childrendo not reflect their expressed racial attitudesand preferences. Instead, playmate choice isbased upon factors like sex, personality, andplay style. This leads to the hope that qualityintegrated environments for preschool chil-dren may be able to counteract the negativeexample of society." Further, she "stressesthat it is a matter of immediate importancefor laws governing equal opportunity to bestrongly enforced, and for every family to beguaranteed a decent living so that the connec-tion between race and poverty will be dimin-ished and the personal self-esteem of children,regardless of race, will not be damaged."Judith, who earned her MA at Cornell andher PhD at Harvard, is asst. prof, of sociol-ogy at Bryn Mawr.

AT DEADLINE• It's anyone's guess whether April 18 was a happier dayfor Cornellians because students had just amicably andconstructively taken part in a Board of Trustees meetingfor the first time in history, or because an alumnus hadjust all but single handedly eliminated the defending worldprofessional hockey champions from Stanley Cup competition.

Ken Dryden '69, three-time Ail-American at Cornell, isnow a law student in Canada. He had been rushed in at theend of the 1971 pro season to play goal for the MontrealCanadiens. Dryden proceeded to win all six regular seasongames and then went against the newest sports superpower,the Boston Bruins, in a best-of-seven series leading to the'71 world championship. Defending champ Boston, withan awesome array of scoring stars, was expected tooverpower Montreal and its rookie. Back and forth the serieswent with Dryden holding his own, until a seventh gamewas necessary, at Boston. Dryden took everything thevaunted Bruins could fire at him, demoralizing their attack,and emerging as the unquestioned hero of a 4-2 Montrealwin before a vast Sunday afternoon national TV audience.The 6-foot-4 "David" had slain mighty Boston.

Governance: When the Cornell trustees convened in IthacaApril 15 the State Legislature had still not approved changesin the Cornell charter that would permit students to becomevoting trustees. In the interim, the four student trustee-designates were granted all privileges except that of voting.Board chairman Robert Purcell '32 praised their contribu-tions. The trustee-designates said they were listened to. Onone key issue, the views of several of them did not prevail,and Cornell decided to vote its Honeywell Corp. stockproxies with management, in a conflict that in part involvedSouth African apartheid.

Trustee decisions are expected later in other social proxyissues. The board adopted a declaration at the meetingthat "the fundamental objective o f . . . investment policyis to strengthen Cornell's financial ability . . . " and addedthat portfolio and proxy decisions are in the future to takeinto account "social, environmental and similar aspects. . . as an integral part of the financial considerationsinvolved."

People: Prof. Kermit C. Parsons, MRP '53 will succeedBurnham Kelly as Dean of the Architecture College. Parsonshas been on the faculty eleven years, is a widely respectedplanner and the author of "The Cornell Campus—A Historyof Its Planning and Development" [NEWS, March 1969].

Robert B. McKersie, now a professor at the U of Chicago,will become dean of Cornell's School of Industrial andLabor Relations, subject to approval by New York State ofwhich ILR is an element. He is best known as a scholar,co-author of the highly regarded "The Behavioral Theory ofLabor Negotiations."

The University Faculty has elected Prof. Noman Penney,LLB '53 as its dean. He has been on faculty since 1957, anassociate dean of the Law School, and a leader in thebusiness of the faculty and the university.

Prof. James Maas, PhD, '66 psychology, will become the

part-time director of the Center for Research in Education.His use of film, undergraduate teaching aides, and othernew techniques was described in the February NEWS.

Prof. Bennett A. Dominick Jr., PhD '52, agriculturalmarketing, died April 14. His Extension program specialtywas fruit farm management.

On campus: Agitation to drop the physical education require-ment for graduation appears dead, after a faculty committeefailed to endorse the idea of voluntary PT.

The Africana Center plans evening performances oncampus May 8 and 9 of a theater production, described byits director as "a cultural chronology of the black people'senforced exodus from Africa and their subsequent Americanexperience."

The "Sun" has elected its first woman editor-in-chief,Elizabeth Bass '72, an alumna of the same Long Islandstudent paper as A. J. Mayer '71, writer for the NEWS.

The University Senate approved a Campus Life Departmentbudget covering non-academic items of more than $13million without alteration, except to add $8,000 for groupcounselling services on campus. The Senate criticized someuniversity departments for not providing budgets forconsideration on time. Policy making for the vast housing,dining, parking, and other programs had been foreseenas the major responsibility of the Senate, one which formany reasons it never did come to complete grips with inits first year.

A Cornell team of Charles Abut and Thomas Richardsonwon the national Moot Court competition, a top honor foraspiring lawyers, in the finals in Washington.

Sports headline is a decision to accept the offer of ananonymous alumnus to put artificial turf on Schoellkopf fieldin time for next fall, assuring among other things a firmfooting for Ed Marinaro's run for the Heisman Trophy.

Varsity lacrosse appears challenging for national honors,after a 9-10 loss to high ranked Virginia and a sweep of itsother early matches. A season-end tourney will determinethe national champ.

The baseball team had a 4-6-1 spring recess swing south,and was 7-1 in early competition in the north. Heavyweightcrews were not yet competing by mid-April, the lightweightswaiting for a win after two early regattas. Tennis waswinless in three matches, but eastern champ Dirk Dugan'72 is a consistent singles winner. The track squad wasupset 79-74 by Colgate in its first meet.

Kevin Pettit '71 repeated as a college hockey Ail-American,Cornell's only one this year. Larry More '73 placed sixth inthe AAU three-meter diving, and Russ Wiggin '71 scored aCornell breakthrough by qualifying for the nationals ingymnastics, a new sport on the Hill.

Dan Lodboa '70 was giving Ken Dryden competition forhonors among the alumni of Ned Harkness's Big Red teamsof the past, as top goal scorer in the Central pro hockeyleague and top prospect for Rookie-of-the-Year.

Alumni and others: Six men are in the running for alumnitrustees of the university this spring, Richard Fricke '43,Richard Graham '42, Walter Hardy '37, Peter Pierik '52,Robert Ridgely '57, and incumbent Dudley Schoales '29.Ballots and data have been mailed to alumni, with a June2 deadline for receipt in Ithaca.

Friends of the stricken 150-pound footballer Ken Kunken'72 will stage a benefit rock music event for him at BarneyGoogle's in Manhattan 5-9 p.m. on June 10.

Earlier messages in this "producerism" campaignsought to encourage American business to respondto the challenge of consumerism-to teJJ the story ofthe producers. "But," said several companies, "whatshould we talk about?"

This advertisement demonstrates one approach. Thereare many-as many as there have been contributionsto our lives and society by the producers themselves.

The GrossestNational Product

Speak of his company's involvement in pollution, and you touch a sensitive nerve in theaverage corporate executive. ,

But mention the most widespread form of pollution to the average consumer—anc ~? *£usually throws up his hands in frustration. j* £j

parks. ^'J'' ' ϊ , ~ - s ι τ γ

Litter. By whom? p - •? *γ*

By the polluters, of course. By them—those slovenly individu; who reap the beneiof packaging and then turn package into trash. j

By them. Not by us. Oh, no—never by us.

What can the producers do?

They can keep us informed of the progress of their recycling programs—the nation-ally organized campaigns which pay the consumer a premium as inducement for the re-turn of one-way containers.

Or perhaps they should remind America that litter is not spewed all over the land-scape from automated machinery, or shipped in gross lots from any regional warehouse.

Or maybe the producers should really get tough and talk to all the people who con-vert legitimate products into litter. All of them.

All of us.
