Discussions Heating Up...

Future Of GreeksQuestioned Again• BY JANE REYNOLDS

News Editor

An aura of uncertainty sur-rounds the future of fraternities andsororities as a part of Trinity life. Thisspring, the trustees and PresidentGere ty will be making decisions whichwill decide the status of social organi-zations on the Trinity campus.

A seven member committee,created by the trustees last spring, hasalready been investigating the role ofGreek organizations on Trinity's so-cial life. The formation of the commit-tee has sparked campus wide debateover the status of the Greeks.

Assistant Professor of His-tory Cheryl Greenberg heads the fac-ulty Advisory Committee on Frater-nities and Sororities. It is a standingcommittee of elected faculty memberswhich was formed in 1983. Ms.Greenberg noted that in 1982, "thefaculty voted overwhelmingly to abol-ish fraterrdties after ah incident of gangrape/' among other reasons. The fac-ulty/based on this vote, recommended

to the trustees that the fraternities andsororities should be banned.

The trustees voted that dis-crimination on the basis of gender ishot permissible, but that the fraterni-ties and sororities which already ex-isted were exempted from this rule,provided they follow certain rules.

The trustees also suggestedthat the faculty work together on acommittee with fraternities and so-rorities to "find ways to make frater-nities better members of the Trinitycommunity." The faculty, however,did not see this as a viable option. Ms.Greenberg noted that the facultywould "not be co-opted into actuallyproviding support for fraternitiesthrough this committee."

"The faculty refuses to par-ticipate in any way with fraternitiesbecause they embody institutional-ized discrimination," said Ms.Greenberg.

The faculty committee wasthus formed with their task defined"to try to keep the issue of abolition

A Look At The Children Of Broad Street• BY RICK ZEDNIK

Editor-in-Chief

Last February, Pedro was askedby his Neighborhood Posse partner if hewas having a Valentine's Day party inschool. "Yes," Pedro answered, "and theteacher said we could bring in our toys.But," he continued matter-of-factly, "Idon't got no toys."

Pedro is eleven years old. Helives with his family at 1668 Broad Street,across from Ferris Athletic Center. Theirapartment is not much bigger than

Sf

i V i o (r.) i>la>-. will. hi« friend in an alleyacross ihe siren fru.:i ilic Trinity uunpus.

Wiggins suite and it houses five peopleyear-round.

Pedro and his brothers Ramon,15, and Hector, 13, are three of almost 30children in the Neighborhood Posse, aone-on-one tutor-big brother/sister pro-gram that Neela Thakur '92 started atTrinity last fall. Their life story is sad, butnot unlike those of other Broad Streetkids. Pedro was born to his Puerto Ricanparents, Juanita, 22, and Pedro, Sr., inNew Jersey. Soon, the family moved toMassachuse t ts. Pedro fai n tly remembershis parents' wedding, which occurredwhen Pedro was, as he says with his

hand at about waist level,"only this big," or prob-ably about four years old.The marriage did not lastlong, however, as Pedro,Sr. became heavily in-volved with drugs.

Since then,'- Juanita has had four suc-

cessive boyfriends livewithherand theboys. Shehas had no more wed-dings and the boys keeptheir surname, but Pedro

•s has called five differentmen "Step-Father" in hiseleven years.

After Pedro, Sr.was driven out by Juanita,his brother moved in withthe family. This man's in-volvement with a gangbecame a strenuous bur-den on the family. Afterhe tattooed the three boyswith the symbol of hisgang, Juanita could takeno more. She left with thethree boys.

A new, more serious relation-ship followed, but that man, Roberto,eventually wore out his welcome. A.nightmare of an event occurred towardsthe end of that relationship. Juanita hada sexual encounter with her sister's hus-band. The sister found out and attemptedto stab Juanita with a kitchen knife as theboys looked on. The attempt wasthwarted, but a gauge in the kitchen wallserves as a grim reminder to this day.

A indigent man named Juliojoined the family after Roberto wentaway. He was with the family until hetwice abused Juanita this past summer.Since then, Enrico, a security guard at^Etna, has moved in with the family.

In 1989, a relative of Pedro, Sr.'swas in need of a place to stay so Juanitatookhim in, despite a dark past. Eduardohad been arrested five times for childmolestation in the past, His tendencieswere not curbed upon arrival in thehousehold. Each of the boys was victim-ized before Eduardo left.

Today, when Pedro is askedwhy he thinks drugs are bad, he ex-plains, "They make you crazy and beatyour wife." As is typical of youngsters,his knowledge of the world is centeredaround personal experience.

When asked what Julio and hismother did while he was at school, Pedroreplied, "watch TV and play games."The game they played was a very basicdice-controlled board game. They playedat the small table in the kitchen, wherecockroaches occasionally scamper bywithout provoking a reaction. One day,Pedro's partner witnessed the conclu-sion of a game and heard the score an-nounced: Julio had won 34 times, Pedro31, and Juanita 28. They had played the

OPINIONPrivate (College) Property:

Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted

nee again, Trinity is closing its iron gates to the surroundingpublic. The bicycle registration program planned by CampusSafety is a shame to the College. It will soon be that, if you are

a Hartford youth, and you need to ride your bicycle from Zion Street toBroad Street, you had better go around our hallowed campus. For you"cannot ride unless you are registered." We may be "in" the city, but donot mistake us for being "of the city.

Yes, some travel at high speeds and some are verbally aggressive,but how much true cause for worry are bicyclists? What a way to spendour time and energy. Let's compare tihe privileged lifestyles most of usat Trinity live with those of many of the two-wheeled terrorists. Manyof these kids are just like Pedro, who is the subject of a story on page 1.

While we worry about dirty laundry, he worries about clothing.We worry about affording to go to college, he worries about buyingschool supplies. We feel pressure to cut class or have a beer, he feelspressure to drop out of school or experiment with crack. Weworry aboutwater pressure in the shower, he worries about warm, clean water. Wecrave free time, he relishes the chance for activity.

If we see things in their proper perspective, we realize we worryabout luxury, while others worry about subsistence.

In a recent conversation, a Trinity junior mentioned to someoneunfamiliar with the College that a woman had been strangled and a manshot on Allen Place in the spring. The listener asked with concern, "Werethey Trinity students?" The answer given by the student was "No, youwould have heard if they were, it would have been all over the news."This is the sad truth. Are pur lives worth more than those of ourneighbors? Of course not.

When a Trinity student is so much as verbally harassed, it is a bigissue. People suffer far worse every day across the street and we chooseto ignore it.

Let's stop wasting our time with petty, self-cushioning measuressuch as the bicycle plan and let's take some responsibility. It often seemsthat, rather than have a negative impact on our neighbors, we strive tohave no impact at all.

We are a great resource. Community service is essential^ butTrinity's influence on Hartford should not cease there. We are one of thenation's best colleges in a city that could use our help.

- The bicycle decision couldset a dangerous precedent Will we soonbe askmgior all Trinity students to register their sneakers? That will giveour Campus Safety officers reason to check allstrangers on campus. Isn'tthis what this decision says we really want to do?

If visiting bikers are causing an inordinate amount of trouble, can'tour new bicycle patrolman catch them? --"*•

Special Interest Dorms May Be"Ideal College Housing Blueprint"

To the Editor:Grouping students together by com-

mon interest seems to have become a hous-ing policy of Trinity College, and I think it isa good one. With the science dorm, themusic dorm, the quiet dorm (a commoninterest in sleep), and the freshman dorm (acommoninterestinbecomingsophomores)alargenumberofTrinity students are livingnearby to a critical number of other studentswith whom there is an easily created com-mon bond. I could speak about the benefitsof this arrangement in the abstract, but in-.stead I will describe my'experience in Jack-son, the science dorm.

First of all, there is convenience. Jack-son, forming one side of the quad that in-cludes McCook, LSC and MCEC, is right inthe middle of Trinity science. Not all of thededicated dorms are as convenient, but notall of them were formed with subjects ofstudy in mind. In Jackson location is a greatplus. .

Geographic convenience is second-

ary to the convenience that comes fromhaving five people on my hall who haveeither taken my physics class, or are takingmy physics class. It doesn't hurt that the TAis two doors down. The dorm is full ofpeople who can help with problem sets andbecause of that, questions get answered allthe time and right away.

There is also the advantage of beinghookedintothePhoneNet. Mathrnatica,theVAX and all the network file servers areavailable from the Macintosh in my room.That's a great time saver in that it allows meto get work done whenever I have a fewminutes free.

I've heard only endorsements for thefreshman dorm, and The Tripod pointed outthat the bands on campus are faring betterthis year since the intodudion of the musicdorm. Thismaybetheidealcollegehousingblueprint.

Response To Multi-CulturalismTo the Editor:IwrifceinresponsetoEliLake'sarticle,

"Multi-Culturalism Will Aid. Understand-ing." While Mr. Lake's attempt to presentboth sides of the argument was admirable, itwas not successful. Mr. Lake would have usbelieve that a multi-cultural requirement issome benign panacea that will enlighten usand make Trinity a better place. I object tothis point of view. Multi-Culturalism ismerely a euphemism for the dilution of thetraditional academic curriculum.

While I certainly agree with Mr. Lakethat some of the history that is taught isincomplete, the answer is not to offer sepa-rate courses such as "Native American his-tory 101." The solution to the problem ofracist and sexist history texts is to rewritethem to be more inclusive. The solution isnot to provide some vague set of narrowtexts to be used in narrow special interestcourses. As Mr. Lake himself acknowl-edges, European History was not made bywomen, or non-white males, for the mostpart. Let us include the overlooked accom-plishments of both sexes and all races, but let

usnotgivethemanigherdegreeofhistoricalrecognition than they deserve.

As politically unpopular as it is to say,it was no other people than the now hated"dead white males" who wrote the Declara-tion of Independence, the Constitution, aswell as the Bill of Rights. This type of fact iswhat Mr. Lake refers to as "white malemythology." Lef s be realistic, wrong as itwas, white men determined the course ofEuropean and American history. Pretend-ing anything else serves no one's purpose.The ideals of Multi-Culturalism have muchto offer the academy. They remind us that a(rue liberal education means an inclusiveeducation. However, we should not allowthe radical fringes of this ideal to take overpur curriculum. Sensible textbook choicesfar morebenefitthestudentthan some vaguemulti-cultural requirement which consistsof material only of interest to the professorand a small group served by the historicalempowerment of a historically oppressedgroup..

OPINIONHere Come The Candidates As Democrats Get Ready For f92

Opinion Piece By Peter Friedman, Co-Chairman, College DemocratsEver since the day that Desert Storm

ended and President Bush's approval rat-ings soared into the stratosphere nearly ev-eryone has looked at the upcoming presi-dential election as a mere formality leadingto inevitable re-anointment of King George.Conventional wisdom has discounted thethought of a Democrat even having a chanceof unseating the President and cap hiring theWhite House. In fact right after the gulf warended people were beginning to postulatethat the Democrats would lose their major-ity in the United States Senate and evenperhaps the House of Representatives.

SinceMarchtheclTancethattheDemo-crats will lose their Senate majority has be-comemoreandmore remote. Carefulanaly-sis reveals that rather then losing control ofthe Senate the Democrats may actually pickup seats in New York, California, Idaho,Wisconsin, Oregon and perhaps Alaska,while maybe losing seats in North Carolinaand Pennsylvania. The reason for this islargely rooted in the fact that in most of thosestates Democrats are running stronger can-didates with better records, against incum-bents who have done little except postureand preen.

If it is true that the Democratic partycan run effective senatorial candidates, thenit is both possible and likely that they canruna similarly effective White House campaign.

Rather than throwing away 1992, the1992 campaign gives the Democratic party atrue opportunity to solidify their base in theAmerican electorate

Call me crazy, but George Bush doesnot have an overly impressive record asPresident of the United States. Few willdeny that his domestic agenda is non-exis-tent, and he is guilty at best of neglect arid atworst of callous indifference towards theproblems that besiege our country. How-ever, many shy away from the argumentthat his foreign policy is similarly poor. Buttake a careful look at the policies of this socalled "master statesman."

First and foremost is his handling ofthe gulf war. His leadership was to a pointeffective, but it certainly doesn't speak wellfor his foresight and strategy that SaddamHussein remains a thorn in our side today.The president lias wavered badly between

interventionism and isolationism, and thuseven as I write this, a full seven months afterDesert Storm ended so abruptly, we are stillcontemplatingfurther military actionagainstIraq.

From there we can look at how Bushhas fumbled in dealing with the end of theCold War. How long did it take for him torecognize the sovereignty of the Baltic re-publics ? When will he accept the fact that itis time for the end of $300 billion a yeardefense budgets ? George Bush, a man whohas spent nearly all of his adult years livingin the throes of Cold War fever has not yetbegun to take the decisive actions that areneeded to deal with a post Soviet-threatworld.

ContinuingonPresidentBush'sstates-manship we can look at his admirable be-havior towards the People's Republic ofChina. The President has failed on twoaccounts to deal with them properly, onhuman rights violations and on their eco-nomic warfare on the United States. Byrefusing to use the lever of Most FavoredNation trading status against China he hasgiven his not so tacit approval to the behav-ior of a country that is brutally repressiveagainst its own people, and deals unfairlyand in bad faith with the United States ontrade issues.

A list of the President's bungling offoreign affairs could continue to his refusalto reopen relations With Vietnam, his quan-dary about what to do with Panama, and hisdisgraceful sucking up to Arab monarchsand dictators at the expense of our staunchally Israel.

I think that this country has a right toa better performance on the internationallevel from a man who has done nothingproductive on the home front. Our Educa-tion-environment-war-on-drugs-civil-rightspresident has turned out to fail us on everyoneof thosecounts. Andmore. Oureconomycontinues to slip, and our middle class con-tinues to be punished (by higher real taxratesatState and Federal levels than in 1981)while the percentage of taxes paid by thewealthiest American's shrinks.

So the President gets an "F" on hisreport card, but what can the Democraticparty offeryouthatisanybetter?How about

Real People In NeighborhoodTo the Editor:Two items caught my attention in the

September^ issueof TfeTttpod, the editor'sratherhaughty response toMr.IvanBacker'sletter and the far more thoughtful piece byMs. Pryor on Trinity's urban reality. Letmedeal with the Tripod's editorial policy on theneighborhood first. Anyone reading theTripod on a continuous basis will realize thatthe editor's claim "...to accurately portraythesurroundingneighborhood.. ."isfarfromthe truth. The sensational, yellow pressmanner in which recent criminal incidents,whichdidnotinvolveTrinity students, wereportrayed speaks for itself. I have yet to readone article that accurately deals with theneighborhood, its issues, its strengths andweaknesses. And I continue to feel stronglyflTatTrinitystudentS/especiallywomen/havemore to fear from their fellow students thanthe neighborhood.

This leads me to Ms. Pryor's piece onthe urban environment. While I was at firstglad to see this thoughtful juxtaposition ofTrinity's pristine campus and the reality ofurban life, I slowly realized that, maybe aspart of the Tripod's failure to write anythingpositiveabouttheneighborhood,Ms.Pryor'sdescription of Trinity's environment was abit one-sided. I live less than a five minutewalk away from campus, indeed many stu-dents may see me on my walk to and frommy office. My street doesnothousepackage

stores, there is no trash on the lawns, the airsmells as clean as that on campus and thepeople "hanging out" are sitting on theirfrontporchesonahotsummerevening. Thepeople on that street are from a variety ofethnic backgrounds and are, by any normalstandard at least, not in the low incomecategory.

A number of Trinity faculty and stafflive around the campus and add to a vibrantand diverse neighborhood.

I do not want to paper over the obvi-ous problems of poverty, drug abuse andcrime which are part of Hartford's reality,after all my car was broken into twice and Iknow of two drug addicts being arrested forattempted burglary and trespassing on mystreet alone. Yet the neighbors of BarrySquare and Frog Hollow neighborhoodshave come together to deal with this prob-lem as well as others.

Part of coming to grips with the urbanreality of Trinity is to realize that there arereal people living around Trinity, not anamorphous mass that is threatening Trinitystudents. One can get to know these peopleby learning about the issues that concernthem and becoming involved. Truly accu-rate reporting about the neighborhoodwould be a first step.

Sincerely,Michael NiemannVis. Professor of Political Science

Men and Women who put America first,while not backing this country into the dan-gerous corner of isolationism. It is true thatme men who have now come out as thefront-runners for the Democratic nomina-tionarenotawellknowngroup, Butmaybethaf s a good thing. Maybe that indicatesthat men like Doug Wilder (the governor ofVirginia) and Bill Clinton (gov. of Arkansas)are dealing with the problems in their statesrather than shamelessly grandstanding.

Governor Wilder has an impressiverecord of fiscal responsibility, as can be seenby the fact that Virginia has not been hitnearly as badly as other states during ourcurrent recession. BillClintonhaseffectivelylifted Arkansas schools out of the lower endof the educational spectrum through hisprogressive ideas. He has brought civilrights to a deep south state, no mean feat inan era where the executive branch has ig-nored racial injustice in America.

The two other major candidates forthenomination are Senators Bob Kerrey andTom Harkin of Nebraska and Iowa respec-tively. Harkinisapopulistinthetruestsenseof the word. At the very least, the Harkincampaign will force the plight of the forgot-ten miners and steelworkers back into ournational spotlight. An unabashed liberaland an aggressive one at that (there canbe nomistaking him for Mike Dukakis) Harkinoffers us the promise to awaken in us the fireofbuildingabetter country foreveryone^ot

just those who have interests in Saudi oilfields.

This leaves Senator Kerrey, the mostattractiveofallof thecandidates. AMedalofHonor winner during the Vietnam War,

Kerrey is the most "outside" of all of thecandidates. He has only been in politics foreight years. Yet in those eight years, four ofwhich were spent as Governor of Nebraska,he has managed to bring a vision of a pro-gressive America in which government canhelp, rather than be seen in the unfriendlylight conservatives have portrayed it. BobKerrey also brings to the table an abidingconcern in health care, and a plan to go withit. His "Health U.S.A." plan is the best planto deal with health care reform presently onthe scene. What is most impressive aboutKerrey ishis charisma and enthusiasm abouttaking the problems of this country head on.

Itgoeswithoutsayingthatallof thesecandidates are committed to keeping repro-ductive rights safely m the hands of women.All are committed to civil rights progressinstead of regress as well. Under a Kerrey,Harkin, Wilder or Clinton administrationthere will be no talk of quotas. With theSupreme Court already dangerously tiltedto the far right it is imperative to have aDemocfatwhocaresaboutcivillibertiesandrights in office.

One of these four men will carry thetorch of Democratic party in 1992. Any ofthem is a better alternative for the UnitedStates than the uncaring and lazy Bush ad-ministration. It is odd that the man whoholds power todayfoughtalongsideofJohnEKennedyduringWorldWarn.

Misuse Of Pictures LeadsTo "Intolerable" Acts

To the Editor:We are writing in reference to the

debate over whether the handbook shouldcontain pictures of freshmen. It is in ouropinion that these pictures have very littlelegitimate purpose. It has been argued bymany that the pictures serve as a useful toolin identification of classmates. However, wefeel that the sexual harassment that resultsfromthemisuseofthesepicturessupercedesany arguments for the addition of the pic-tures to the book. The misuse of these pic-tures has allowed blatant sexism to be per-

petuated on our campus. We find theseactions intolerable. No student should beprejudged, harassed, accosted, or endan-gered as a result of one's perception of thestudent's picture. Wehope that the adminis-tration will sincerely consider these argu-ments when deciding the fate of the hand-book.

NEWSFuture of Fraternities/Sororities Up In The Air

• continued from page Iout in the open." said Ms. Greenberg.The committee also works toward try-ing to enforce existing rules on discrimi-nation.

Ms. Greenberg commented that"if all fraternities and sororities wentcoed, that would be a step" but thefaculty finds other types of discrimina-tion in the system as well. She noted thatthe faculty sees a problem in the fact thatthe groups choose their own member-ships through a secret process* Ms.Greenberg classified this as "forming acommunity of people who are just likeyou, never letting in people who are notlike you," .

If the groups opera ted on a first-come, first-served basis, with no secrecyand no hazing, "then we could talk tothem," according to Ms. Greenberg.

Ms. Greenberg admits that "itis hard to create alternatives" and that"the issue is not to create a big vacuum.""In order to choose what would workbest, we need a lot of help," said Ms.Greenberg.

The other members of the com-mittee are Asst. Professor of History GaryReger, Assoc. Professor of History andDirector of Women's Studies JoanHedrick, Assoc. Professor of PhilosophyMaurice Wade, and Assoc. Professor onAnthropology Jane Nadel-Klein. Pro-fessors Wade and Nadel-Klein are tem-porarily replacing Asst. Professor of His-tory Jack Chatfield and Asst. Professorof Religion Patricia Byrne, respectively,who are currently on leave.

Eric Holtzman '92 is the cur-rent present of the IFC (Inter-FraternityCouncil). "From what I understand, themain problems the faculty has with thefraternities and sororities are that for themost part, we're single-sex" and theyfeel the Greek organizations "over-shadow the social life at Trinity," saidMr, Holtzman. He added that they are"two very valid points which are diffi-cult to argue against."

Mr. Holtzman commented thatsome of the groups on campus havebeen single-sex for over 100 years, andthat "even if we want to go co-ed, wehave to go through our national organi-zations." He added, "we get lumped inwith all other single-sex organizationslike the Trinitones and After Dark thathave no national affiliation."

"The national affiliations doa lot for us and for each individual fra-ternity. It is not a simple decision wherewe can iust vote to go co-ed; it is far morecomplicated,"

Mr. Holtzman cited the CleoSociety of Alpha Chi as an example."Cleo was 'DKE' and it went co-ed with-out the permission of its national affilia-tion. Now, it is no longer recognized."

President Gerety will state atthe end of the year whether single-sexorganizations can remain. "I'd like tosee him at least give us time to petitionour nationals to go co-ed," said Mr.Holtzman. "Of course, I'd like to seehim let us stay single-sex."

Whether or not fraternities are"overshadowingsocial life is also a validpoint," noted Mr. Holtzman. He citedthe fact, however, that fraternities areincreasing co-sponsorship of events withother student groups and that the IFC,SGA (Student Government Association),and TCAC (Trinity College ActivitiesCouncil) will all be working together."The fraternities are going to become alot more involved in non-alcoholic so-cial events," added Mr. Holtzman.

However, "no matter what wesay or do there are those who will sayour main purpose is to discriminate andthrow huge parties where hundreds ofunderaged people get served," said Mr.Holtzman.

"The problem is, the majorityof the faculty are opposed to fraternities.Those who aren't opposed don't seem towant to stand up ~and oppose thosewho are, It's easierto jump on thebandwagon."

M r .Holtzman ex-pressed anxietyover student in-volvement in thedecision makingprocess, and he is"nervous that theproper researchwillnotbeputintothe decision." Hefeels the decisionsshould be madebased on a surveyof the studentsthemselves; "Iwould think a lotof people whoaren't in fraterni-ties would wantthem to stick around." Mr. Holtzmanalso noted that through the SGA, the IFCis working on setting up a meeting withPresident Gerety.

President of the Pan-HellenicCouncil Suzy Davis '92 said "we are

going to try to be a lot more vocal; wewill be more visibly active on campus asPan-Hellenic." She noted that the twosororities are planning events with theWomen's Center, and are trying to findsome degree of faculty support.

The next three questions were:"Should Fraternities & Sororities con-tinue to exist at Trinity?, Should Frater-nities & Sororities be forced to go Co-Ed?, and Should the ban limiting thecreation of new Fraternities & Sororitiesbe lifted?"

In response to the first ques-tion, 86.3% voted in favor of the contin-ued existence of the Greeks. Those whoopposed forcing the organizations to be-come coed registered 84% of those par-ticipating in the vote. Banning of newfraternities and sororities was opposedby 69.5% of the voters.

NEWSThe Career Counseling Center

• BY ELLA-MAY SETHNews Writer

As seniors begin to prepare forpost-graduate life, the questions concern-ing career choice and graduate work in-crease.

In planning for the future manystudents feel not only bewildered by thepossibilities, but also uncertain of ho w toapproach them.

Director of Career CounselingMs. Rozanne Burt, is used to handlingsuch questions. She, along with the restof the staff at the Career Center, is avail-able both to help students sort throughtheir ideas of career goals, as well as toprovide for them the important first stepstoward an interview.

Her advice to all seniors is, "It'sa tough job market; seniors should takefull advantage of all the services here atTrinity."

The Career Counseling Centerat Trinity does in fact offer many impor-tant resources to those exploring careerpossibilities. Providing carry-awayguides and employment literature, grant-ing individual counseling sessions, or-ganizing various training and job-searchworkshops, and helping students to gaindirect access to employers and interviews,are among some of its offerings.

While Ms. Burt admits that, "ev-

ery year there are a number of studentswho, for a host of reasons, do not becomeinvolved." She strongly warns againstnot participating early on.

The most obvious service foundin the Center is the Career InformationLibrary. Located in the Seabury office,the Information Library contains bothliterature on employers and graduateand professional schools, as well as spe-cialized job newsletters. Easily accessibleto students, the library is a good place tobrowse through and pick up ideas.

In addition there are, Ms Burtsays, "a number of programs which givestudents direct access to employers."

The on-campus interview is onesuch possibility. Perhaps the most con-venient means by which to interview,this arrangement is one in which em-ployers hold interviews on campus withselected students. Participation is lim-ited and students must be chosen throughan on campus preference System. How-ever, Ms. Burt describes the bid systemused for selection as, "a very fair, equi-table way of choosing."

The Career Counseling Centeralso plays a major role in organizing andobtaining off-campus interviews for stu-dents. Recruiting consortiums for NewYork and Washington invite all thoseinterested to submit resumes which arethen forwarded by the college to em-ployers. Employers themselves then

screen the resumes and select studentsto interview.

In addition, through the ResumeReferal Program, the Career Center pro-vides students access to those employerswho have hired Trinity students in thepast.

This year the Career Counsel-ing staff is beginning work on an addi-tional program created to open even moreinterview channels. The program willseek toestablishcontactsbetween smallernon-profit companies and the Trinitycommunity.

The Alumni Network itself isanother important resource according toMs Burt. This network connects Trinitystudents with 800 Trinity graduates,already in the professional realm.

To those just beginning the pro-cess, Ms. Burt advises'that the best twofirst steps are, to make an individualappointment with someone in the Ca-reer Department and to start writing aresume. While still at Trinity, Ms. Burtclaims, students have the advantage ofusing the Career Center, "to bounce ideasoff of and get feedback from."

The "Dare to Discover" work-shop is also a strong first step. The hourand a half session is designed to encour-age students to think concretely abouttheir experiences, and thus reveal what itis that is important to them and wheretheir strengths lie.

The workshop, Ms. Burt claims,gives students an initial boost. "While tosome it gives new ideas, to others it pro-vides a nice confirmation of some per-sonal strengths.

Two interviewing workshopswill also be held in the upcoming twomonths, on October 9 and November 5,as well as a resume workshop that will beheld on October 3.

On the evening of October 30the Career Counseling Center will hold agraduate and professional school fair.Ms. Burt claims the event is "an excellentopportunity for those exploring for nextyear or beyond to collect informationand ask questions.

While realizing that it is ofteneasy to be discouraged when searchingfor a job, Ms. Burt contends that, "nextyear's worth putting the effort into."Graduates of 1991, she claims wouldprobably offer the following advice:"Know all you can about yourself, behonest, do your homework, use the re-sources of alumni, and allow yourself tobe realistic."

Ms. Burt states that the marketis not static/but there are opportunities.Above all, Ms. Burt advises, studentsneed to think carefully in the monthsahead and have an optimistic but objec-tive view. Ms. Burt concludes by sayingthat, "now is not the time to back away,but now is the time to be involved."^)

NEWSTrinity's Special Interest Dormitories:ORL Finds Them More Popular Than Ever• BY JAY WISE

News Writer

For years the Office of Residen-tial Life's Strategic Planning Committeehas supported "Program Groups," dor-mitories given to certain student groupswhose activities may be helped by shar-ing a common residential area.

Until last year student groupsdid not show much interest. Then, saysKristina Dow, director of O.R.L, "lastyear... there was a surge of interest.. .I'llfreely admit we were unprepared for it."

By the beginning of the 1991-92school year, there were four dormitoriesfor five activities: Boardwalk became theMusic Dorm; High Rise housed StudentsFor Equality and La Voz Latina;Doonesbury was set aside for the stu-dent group called Praxis; and Jacksonbecame the Science Dorm.

Despiteher lack of preparation,Dow still feels positively about the spe-cial interest dorm concept. She says thatof all the groups, both Praxis and the"Science Dorm" are off to "a strong start,

especially Praxis."Ms. Dow also said that she con-

sidered the Music Dorm to stand apartfrom the other programs. Citing a long-standing need for such a group, she saidthe Music Dorm was "really going well,"and also speculated thatit might becomea permanent fixture - a Residential Op-tion (such as the Freshman Experience,or the Quiet Dorm) as opposed to theyear-to-year status of the other ProgramGroups.

Ms. Dow also identified the twogroups, La Voz Latina, and SFE, whichshe feels "are off to a slow start, it seemsto me."

Sarah Wedlock '93, a leader ofSFE, in part agreed with Ms. Dow. "It'sdifficult when you're starting a newgroup." However, she also responded tomuch of the recent criticism of SFE and ofthe Program Groups in general, notingthat SFE only took up two floors of HighRise and not the whole dorm, as wasrumored, Ms. Wedlock stated that suchan arrangement is needed because SFE"is not a formal organization, and thearrangement guarantees us a certain de-

The Neighborhood Posse hasprovided Pedro, his brothers, and manyof the children who live around Trinitywith student role models who take a fewhours each week to study, play, and getto know the kids. Though he likes theplaying aspect best, getting Pedro to dohomework is no chore.

Pedro loves school, partly be-cause it provides an alternative to sittingaround. He loves gym and he is good atmath. When the subject of the future israised, like many eleven year old boys,Pedro wants to be a baseball or basket-ball player when he grows up. "Will youplay these sports in high school?" he isasked. "Yes," he replied. "And if you goto'college?"

"I will go to college," he quicklyconfirmed. "And I will play right here,"he said, pointing to the athletic fields ofTrinity College. Trinity is the only col-lege Pedro has ever seen. "If I move, I willgo to another college/' Considering theodds, Pedro's youthful optimism is hisgreatest asset.^l

To qualify for Program Groupstatus, said Ms. Dow, a group "needs tosubmit a proposal to this office.. .it musthave one or preferably more faculty ad-visors, to insure that the group reachesits goals." A group must also have atleast three all-campus projects over theschool year.

"The groups also must identifythe facilities that will fufill their needs,"she said.

Ms. Dow also made it clear thatthe status of Program Groups far frompermanent. "They [the different groups]are evaluated every year.. .if a group isnot proving vibrant and vital to resi-dents, then perhaps it ought not to becontinued."

However, Ms. Dow refused tosay what, specifically what would causea group to lose its privileges. "Some-times," she said, "it merely comes downto a specific sense of how it benefits thecommunity."

Ms. Dow said that she wouldfavor the creation of a committee to re-view requests for new groups and alsothe activities over the previous year ofold groups, to decide whether a grouphas merited its special status, ̂ jjffl

WORLD AND NATIONSo...You Want To Be A Radical• BY ELI LAKE

World & Nation Writer

The definition of radical accordingto the Random House College Dictio-nary, is "of or pertaining to roots, ororigins". This definition of radical is soobscured in today's language that a per-fectly correct statement like "JimmySwaggart is a radical Christian" wouldbe laughable. Why am I bringing thisup? Because I've observed that in thepast 100 years this one word, radical, hasbeen turned from a perfectly coherentadjective to an ambiguous and abstractconcept. Today radical can describe any-thing from a neat skateboard to a preachycollege student to an extremist left wingpolitical group. In this article I will try toclear up these ambiguities surroundingthe word and try to lay out a few guide-lines for anyone who thinks they mightwant to be a radical on this campus,

Radical in the sense that it describesan object, means something that is toyour liking, or original. If you have aradical haircut it means that it is to manypeople's liking and is original. Radicalinthe sense that it describes ideologies orpolitical movements, infers a sense ofextremeness and a fundamental breakfrom the accepted ideas in the context ofa particular society. Women's suffrage

was a radical idea in 19th" centuryAmerica. The case of the radical collegestudent though, is not as easy to defineas the other uses of radical. Radicalwhen describing a college student oftenimplies nostalgia. "I was a real radicalback at Berkeley in the sixties." (Whowasn't?) Radical also implies "extraordi-narily different" when describing collegestudents: "Ed Kazarian just shaved hishead; he's such a radical." Radical in thecollegiate sense of the word also impliespolitical activism: "Those Radicals inPSA were responsible for the protest."All of these definitions though, are onlyhalf the picture; to be a radical at Trinityyou have to fit the image as well. So youwant to be a radical? Hopefully this ar-ticle will help you.

A good starting point for the aspir-ing radical is to get role models. Think ofgreat radicals of the near and distantpast. Both Lenin(on)s are good, there isalways Gandhi. Nietzsche is a must, andthen there is the grand daddy of them all,J.C. That's right, Jesus Christ, perhapsthe greatest radical of all time, but keepin mind that long hair is a little trendy. Ifyou see yourself as a continuation in thislong line of radicals you're on the righttrack. Another thing to remember is thatyou and you alone are always right.Orthodoxy is at the heart of being a radi-

cal, and it also helps to think of yourselfas somewhat messianic. Even if youvehemently believe in a community ethicof sorts, remember you're pretty muchgoing this alone.

If you're going to be a radical youalso have to look the part. Jeans are good,but overalls are better. Sideburns are

Remember, you arenot dressing toimpress; instead,dress to upset.

nice, but a bolshevik goatee is nicer. Ifyou are a woman, stay away from pas-tels. If you wear glasses make sure theyare circular and wire rim, if you don'twear glasses try to develop astigmatism.Remember, you are not dressing to im-press; instead, dress to upset. A finalnote on dress: black turtlenecks. If youdon't have at least three, go out and buysome. Appearance also entails vocabu-lary. Why say middle class when youcan say petite-bourgoisie? Use phraseslike "modes of domination" and "classconsciousness" as much as possible. A

final note on appearance is to carry apocket version of your favorite radical'sworks (unless it happens to be Jesus) inorder to quote frequently.

Now that you know how to look,think and speak like a radical, what doyou do, where do you go? There are nospecific guidelines for this, but I have afew suggestions. The aspiring radicalshould subvert things, whether they beclasses, governments, or dominant para-digms. It doesn't matter. Subvertingthings is one of the favorite activities ofthe radical and it's good to get practiceearly. The radical should also get in-volved with activities on campus. Thereare a number of groups that appeal toradicals on campus: PIRG, communityoutreach, and Cleo. These are all verygood, but to be a real radical on thiscampus it is almost mandatory to be amember of PSA for at least one semester.When a radical isn't subverting or hang-ing out with other radicals in groups oncampus, smoking cigarettes and discuss-ing philosophy in the Cave is always apleasant diversion. Another idea is towrite preachy articles for the Tripod.

I hope that this article has beenhelpful to any aspiring young radicals oncampus. If you have any further ques-tions my extension is 3567.1 might havean extra pocket Nietzsche lying around.

WORLD AND NATIONWhat I've Seen AtThe RevolutionNotes From The USSRQ BYAMYTATKO

World & Nation WriterEd. Note: Amy Tatko is a Trinity

Junior spending the year in Irkutsk, Siberia,USSR. What follows are some of her observa-tions of the situation there at present. Thisarticle is dated 15 September, 1991.

The Soviet Union, or what's left ofi t is a very rapidly changing place thesedays. No one here can seem to keep upwith the news and no one knows what tobelieve or even what to think. This isprobably pretty obvious from America.But what is not too well known in theStates are the opinions of the typical So-viet person. The following are bits andpieces of conversations I myself haveoverheard on the streets of Moscow, onthe metro, at the airport, and at homehere in Irkutsk.

A few days ago I was onmy way toRed Square (typical of a foreigner) whenI came upon a crowd gathered by thefront windows of an office of one ofRussia's main newspapers (Izvestia, Ithink). On the windows hung photo-graphs of the August 19-21 coup, and allaround stood curious -and opinionated-Muscovites. I saw an old woman (ababushka) turn to a young 12 or 13 year-old boy and yell straight in his face, "Well,is this what you wanted? Capitalism iscoming!" The boy just shrugged hisshoulders. To me, this meant that it wasprecisely what he and a majority of theSoviet youth wanted.

Behind me two middle-agedwomen were going at it: one a Gorbachevsupporter, the other pro-Yeltsin. Thisseems to be a very popular sport in Rus-sia today: the Gorby vs. Yeltsin battle,which never has a winner, and is oftenpretty gruesome. The first woman ar-gued that Yeltsin is just another power-hungry bureaucratandthatGorbachev'space is safer and better for the people.Her opponent argued back thatGorbachev was just the beginning andsince he has obviously stopped the for-ward motion, Yeltsin is the one to con-tinue it.

A few hours later I was standingoutside the governmentdepartmentstore(GUM) when a German approached me,frantically begging me to go into thehard currency store and buy him tooth-paste. They only take credit cards, so heoffered to give me dollars if I would go inand buy him toothpaste. As he was hand-ing me two dollar bills, a babushka whohad been listening in suddenly startedyelling, "Two dollars! You'll spend allthat money on that toothpaste when youcould buy perfectly fine Soviet tooth-paste for a ruble. Sixty-four rubles youspend and look at my feet! Look at theshoes I must wear!" and on and on. Andthen she hit the German right across theback of his head and let me add that thesebabushkas are tough women. He un-doubtedly felt that one.

Not five minutes later came thenext incident in the same place. A brand-new, shiny and black Trans-Am pulledup. Now, here we are 100 yards from RedSquare, peopleeverywhere,empty storesall around and up comes a blatent sym-bol of the West arid capitalism. The driverobnoxiously leaningon the horn,acrowdinstantly closes in around the car, every-one is yelling and some people are physi-cally banging the oa*. A man runs out

from the hard currency store, he and thedriver load a pile of goods into the carand literally peel off, hitting two peopleas they tear through the crowd. The phe-nomenon of the joint venture becamepretty clear to me: Soviets are gettingvery rich very quickly and seem to losesense of the fact that these are very tryingtimes for the majority of the country. Thejoint venturers themselves don't care andseem to be resented and even hated bythe rest of the population.

Rightnow I am in Irkutsk, a city ofabout 700,000 people located in EasternSiberia, north of Mongolia. I live with afamily and attend the Irkutsk State Uni-versity. Things are pretty quiet here po-litically as far as what goes on in the cityand on the streets. But when you talk topeople it becomes apparent that a lotmore is happening than meets the eye.The Russian flag was hung over the maingovernment building on August 22; theold hammer and sickle were put to resteven out here in Siberia, I saw a typicalpropaganda poster and asked my 20 year-old friend Natasia if it would soon begone. "Yes," she answered. I asked whowould replace Lenin on all the statuesand she laughed and said, "Who knows?Maybe Yeltsin or me, or even you! Noone knows anythingany more." While atthe fine arts museum, I passed a figure-head, read the name and moved on. Afew minutes later Natasia and my little"sister" Ira asked roe who it was I hadlooked at. I thought hard and finallysaid, "No one important." They laughedso hard they cried. The sculpture was ofLenin as a young man, and they thoughtmy answer was hysterical.

I spent the better part of this after-noon sitting with my "mama" talkingpolitics and learned quite a lot. As sheput it, "The number of people is thenumber of opinions." However,! thinkher own opinion is valid and interesting.She is a 46 year-old professor of AnimalPhysiology, runs her household, keeps agarden, and is both fun and loving al-most all the time. She thinks the coupwas a horrible thing, hates Yeltsin, isagainst independence for the republics,yet is not a Communist Party member.She told me that when she was my age (inthe 1950s) things were far better: thestores were stocked, everything was af-fordable and there were no rich or poor;all were equal. She very strongly be-lieves in socialism and still supports Lenincompletely. She explained how theKolkhozie (collective farmers) are nowsuffering so, while others prosper underperestroika. This worries and angers her.She gave her own personal example ofthe difficulty of the situation. Her daugh-ter doesn't have warm boots for the win-ter and even if if they can gather togetherthe money, she doesn't know if they willfind the boots anywhere.

Move To Save TheChicken of the Sea• BY WILLIAM H. MACON

World & Nation Writer

Giant bluefin tuna and many of theworld's sharks are well on their way toextinction. Over-fishing has created anenvironmental problem for the Earth'soceans that cannot be repaired if allowedto continue.

Recently, much publicity has beengiven to the plight of the giant bluefintuna. In 1970, the population of bluefin in'the Atlantic Ocean was more than tentimes larger than it is today. The chiefreason for this decline is overf ishing. Justone of these fish can earn a fisherman15,000 dollars on the international mar-ket. The largest and fastest of any truefish, the bluefin can reach lengths of four-teen feet and weigh 2000 pounds. It isthose weighing mote than 400 poundsthat are considered "giant" and in dan-ger. It is these giants that are responsiblefor reproduction. If they die out, theyoung ones will not be able to preventtheir own extinction. But who wouldever pay 15,000 dollars for a mere fish?

The answer is the Japanese. Longknown for their voracious appetite forexotic foods, the Japanese pay top dollarfor tuna to be used in sushi. If they d o notcurb their hunger for these fish, the onlyway to protect bluefin will be to ban theinternational trade of this species. Bydoing so, the prices in the market woulddrop out and therefore reduce the desireto fish for the giants. Yet these tuna are

not the only victims of over-fishing. Thereis another species suffering asyou readthis article.

WORLD AND NATIONLiberalism:It's Not Dead Yet

DBYDANAMXTWorld & Nation Writer

Last week, World & Nation writerNathan Marinoff asserted that, "Liberal-ism, if not dead, is wasting away fast."He said this in support of the nominationof Clarence Thomas.

The belief that liberalism is dead ispopular amongst conservatives who areconfident that most Americans are tiredof liberals. These conservatives justifytheir statements by citing the fact thatthey have controlled the Presidency forthe past eleven years. However, there isalways a danger in making absolute state-ments on any subject, particularly on thepolitical will of the American people.

American history in the twentieth

American politicsdisplays a constantfluctuationbetween liberalismand conservatism.century does not show a stagnation ofpolitics on either the left or the right.Instead, \t is a constant fluctuation be-tween liberalism and conservatism. Forexample, the 1920s were a period of po-litical conservatism in this country. Therewas a string of Republican presidentswho each held to a hands-off view of theeconomy. This contributed to the enor-mous magnitude of the Great Depres-sion: The Depression marked a politicaltransformation to liberalism as Rooseveltascended to the presidency on a platformof economic reform. Some of Roosevelt'srevolutionary programs, like Social Se-curity, remain to this day.

Through World War II and theearly fifties, the country began a gradualshift from liberalism to conservatism,During the right-winged fifties, liberal-ism took a back seat as fear of commu-nism and post war prosperity dimmed

the need for liberal programs. However,the beginning of the sixties marked an-other transformation to liberalism withthe election of John F. Kennedy.

Although Kennedy did little tobring liberal programs to. fruition, heserved as an example of a new liberalismin America. When Lyndon Johnson wasthrust into the Presidency, he passedseveral civil rights laws that were impor-tant milestones for America. Also, heinstituted several programs that togetherwere known as the Great Society. Theseprograms, such as Medicare, were de-signed to give government help to thepoor and elderly. Although Vietnam re-duced the effectiveness of the Great Soci-ety, its goal to bring about a more sociallyand economically generous society wascertainly noble. The programs of GreatSociety survived through the conserva-tive years of Nixon and prospered eveninto the seventies.

The eighties heralded a return toconservatism with the election of RonaldReagan to the presidency. The programsof the Great Society were replaced byReagan policies that callously shifted at-tention from the interests of the poor tothose of the rich. The conservatives haveenjoyed an eleven year period of domi-nation over the politics of this country.Their laissez-faire economic policies haveresulted in a banking crisis that may costthe taxpayers over a trillion dollars to fix.Other conservative legacies include: alarger number of poor Americans, ashrinking middle class, and an affluentclass who has squandered much of thisnation's wealth.

The American people will soonhave to face up to these problems. Whenthey dp,"there will probably be a shiftback to liberalism. Bush's Gulf War suc-cesses do not make him mvinciblcJHelacks a cohesive domestic policy and thisis a weakness that the Democrats can useto defeathim, Regardless of whether Bushwins the next election, conservative so-lutions will not make the conservative-causedproblems of this country go away.Eventually, this country will have to lookfor liberal solutions to its problems.®

Then she really dropped a bomb:her husband (my host father) is a Com-munist Party member; and it's not justshocking that he hasn't quit yet, but thathe joined in July 1991! When thingsstarted getting worse, he decided it wasthe perfect time to join the party andprove how much he believes in it. He

\World & Nation... It's Everything.

The Ends Cannot Justify TheMeans In Law Enforcement

Only now are we beginning torealize the full extent of our country'sproblem with police brutality. At firstwe thought it only occurred in a fewisolated incidents like Los Angeles. Butit is becoming increasingly clear thatmany of our cities' police departmentsregularly infringe on the rights of inno-cent citizens in their zealous enforce-ment of the law.

It is difficult to know whetherthis is a new problem or one that hasalways existed which, we are only deal-ing with now. Law enforcement hasalways been a rough business in thiscountry. It goes back to the Wild Westand all that. But the question of "howrough is rough" arises. There is no legaldefinition of excessive force when itcomes to police officers. It is decided ona case by case format whether an offi-cer went beyond what was needed tobring a situation under control. Thisambiguity of the law places the policein a unique legal gray area. For policeofficers, there is an extremely thin linebetween their duty and assault andbattery. It is therefore difficult to ques-tion whether a crime has been commit-ted in certain situations involving po-lice.

Inner-city police are in an ex-tremely difficult situation. The federalgovernment has declared a war oncrime. But are we willing to deal withthe side effects of such a war? It isdoubtful whether high civilian casual-ties can be lightly passed off as "collat-eral damage" like they were in Iraq andPanama. The role of police in our do-mestic battle needs to be more clearlydefined. In recent years, they haveachieved a separation from the otherbranches of government in our cities.They have a free hand in dictating theirown recipe for justice. And when acivilian tries to question the correct-ness of an officer's behavior, he or sheis often physically abused.

Statistics indicate that this is anepidemic problem that affects many

police departments. Justice is often outof reach for those who feel they havebeen wrongly harassed by police. Com-plaints against police are handled bythe police themselves. This can lead tofurther harassment for those personswho are perceived as questioning theirauthority. Even when police are foundto have acted wrongly, they are rarelyseverely punished. Only when the pub-lic is familiar with a case does it getsufficiently prosecuted. It seems likelythat the officers in the "Rodney King"case will get what's coming to them.However, it is doubtful that justicewould have been served if that casehad not been captured on video tape.

• The police are almost always given thebenefit of the doubt when it's their wordagainst against a common civilian.

At present, police are not account-able to the government they serve. Thiswas demonstrated clearly in L. A. wherethe mayor was at first able to do verylittle in response to the incident men-tioned above. But let's not focus solelyonL. A. Theirpolice department's prob-lems are not unique. To see anothertroubled police department look no f ur-ther than Hartford itself. A recent Hart-ford Courant article exposed a numberof alleged abuses on the part ofHartford's law enforcement officers. Inlight of the eagerness to use force thatour police seem to show, it must beasked whether we have more to fearfrom the criminals or the law.

When some citizens try to reignin the police, the question inevitablyarises, "Whose side are you on?" Well, ifwe sacrifice the law in an over-zealouspursuit of law and order, the criminalswill have really won. The ends cannotjustify the means when it comes to lawenforcement. Principles are everything.In these days of increasing violent crime,there is a way to be tough withoutharming innocent individuals. Ram-pant police brutality doesn't have to bea side effect of strict enforcement of thelaw.

Chicken...food chain. One function they serve isthat of garbage collector. In their never-ending quest for food, these animals willeat whatever crosses their paths, includ-ing trash. This helps to keep the world'soceans relatively clean. The second rolethey fulfill is that of natural selector.According to Charles Darwin's theory ofsurvival of the fittest, only the strongsurvive. A shark preys upon the sick andWeak fish from large schools, weedingout those not fit for reproduction. Thisalso provides humans with a fairlyhealthy supply of food.

Today, sport fishing threatensthesefearsomeeatingmachines. Becauseof the movie "Jaws", many people have

a gung-ho attitude and wish to go kill ashark to save a human. This has led to anexplosion in the number of sharks beingcaught and killed for no good reason.Sharks do not attack humans if left alone.As it is, these, animals are few and farbetween and serve an irreplaceablenatural function. Their numbers are no-where near those of other species. Thismeans they cannot recover as quickly atcurrent fishing rates.

Fishing for bluefin tuna must beregulated or this species will end up onthe endangered list. Shark fishing mustalso be limited to ensure the health of theworld's waters and food supply. If nei-ther of these steps are taken, biology and,to a greater extent, humanity will losevaluable parts of the living world. &9

FEATURESLuos Nehctik• BY ANNA DAVID

Features Restaurant Critic

Perhaps the most oddly named res-taurant in Hartford, Luos Nehctik (no,that's not Croatian), at 129 Maple Avenue,is not as backwards a place as it may seemfrom the name. A tiny hut with an appar-ently even tinier clientele, this restaurantspecialises in Jamaican food in large quan-tities.

When I was told beforehand that"the place is always empty," I did not takethe person speaking literally. However,we were in fact the only people there, andwhile I must admit that the service wasimpressive and their treatment of us su-perb, I ought to also consider the circum-stances at the time.

Surprisingly, this is not the onlyJamaican restaurant in the area. Othersinclude Bernice Brageous, Ginger's Tropi-cal, and Little Montego. However, LuosNehctik has a certain style that the otherscan't muster. From the neon sign outside,you might be surprised to find a ratherelegant hominess inside, furthered by anexposed brick wall, skylights, and forestgreen table settings.

Definitely try the African-AmericanSpecialties of Barbecued Beef Ribs or Bar-becued Chicken. Avoid the Jerked Chickenif you want tcavoid heartburn, and theGreen Bananas if the sight of large, squishythings makes you squeamish. This restau-rant doesn't serve alcohol, but you canbring your own, or try Kola Champagne,Ting, or Jamaican Blue Coffee.

This Summer I Worked For Mean Old People/' Says Nancy• BY NANCY SWEENEY

Features Writer Emeritus

Last June, my parents entered mybedroom, woke me up, and announced thatif I didn't find a summer job in twenty-fourhours, they would flog me for thirty daysand nights and sacrifice my first born to thegods of tuition.

I did what any other indolent collegestudent would have done: rolled over andmuttered,".. .yeah, light."

However, when I saw my parentsassembling a do-it-yourself gallows kit inour backyard, I panicked, ran straight to thewant Ads, and saw my destiny...

WANTED: Homemaker for smallcommunity of elderly citizens.

Perhaps lacking in glamor, but Ithought, how hard could it be? Give thegeriatrics some company, drink some tea,maybe do a load of laundry — GET PAID.

Naturally, I took the job.Shortly after I began working, how-

ever, I painfully realized that these were not"respectable elderly citizens." They werebatty. I don't mean they weren't in fullcontrol of their mental faculties. They weremembers of a secret organization namedB.A.T.T.Y. (Bitter Arthritics Torturing theYoung.)

This small band of geriatric radicalsvowed to torment anyone whose jointsmoved effortlessly. Like many before me, Iwas lured by their bogus advertisement,and spent the entire summer acting as preyto their hideous tactics of revenge. Youdon'tbelieve me? Listen to how they practicedtheir evil ways.

Tactic 1) Give Chores From Helllentered their house andnoticed that

on the numerous tables and shelves were acountless number of ashtrays, knickknacks,and other sundry objects collected duringtheyears 1945-1967. Guess whatthey askmeto do? DUST!

Talking to them was equally as un-

bearable...Tactic 2) Make Conversations More

Awkward Than Those At Sorority RushMe: "How are you doing?" Old

woman: "Same as every other day - lousy."Me: "What's up?" Old woman: "Oh,

yeah. Yup."Old Woman: "When Joe died ten

yearsago,Ilostthe will to live. Nowtheygotme taking 20 pills a day. I'm not getting anybetter. What's the point?" Me: ????

What the hell do I say to that? Fine,lady. You're right. It's pointless. Here'ssomeClorox. Drink up.

Speaking of their eminent death wasalso used asa means of emotionally manipu-lation; one of their favorite games.

Tactic 3) The Guilt Trip Trick"Move this. If I trip over it, you'll get

back from the market and find a dead ladyon the floor."

Luckily, after years of hearing mymother whine, "how could you say that tothe woman who gave you Life?", I hadbecome unaffected by any form of guilt trip.This adaptation proved especially useful atquitting time.

"No, no dear. You haven't cleanedthe bathroom yet." "I know but its five.""Wait, wait, ahh, pick that up for me." "Re-ally,Ican't. Ihavetogo." (Tbegin to walkoutthe door.) "No! Don't leave me! I can't doanything by myself!" (Me, while shuttingdoor in their face) "Bye!"

Upon realizing that approach wasnot working, they reverted to.).

Tactic4: MakeHerThinkWe'rePara-noid Loons!

Edna was the worst offender in thiscategory. Once, after the visiting nurse hadleft, Edna asked, "What did that nurse say?I heard her same my name and laugh." Ireplied, "No, Edna. She didn't say a thing.""Yes, yes she did. I heard her laugh at me,"snapped Edna. "No. Really she didn't," Iinsisted.

"You lie," mumbled Edna.

What I probably should have saidwas "What nurse?" Two can play at thesemind games. However, whatlreally wantedto say was, "Shut up, nag! And I'm notmopping the kitchen floors, either. I'll dosomeof your grocery shopping andyou'Ebethankful." Did I mention what they woulddo when it was time to buy them food?

Tactic 5) Scare Her With Our QuirkyDietary Habits!

Even simple grocery shopping was aform of torture. They'd freak me out bydisplaying a reckless disregard for the fourfood groups. A typical shopping list wouldbe: Snuggle fabric softener, Garbage bags,Creamora,BensonandHedges Ultralights,frozen peas.

That's it! Thaf s all they Wanted forthe week! How did they eat? How did theirbodies survive? Did they secretly make twoam Chucky's runs and feast on Jojos? Andhow much nutrition is in a Jojo, anyway?They had messed up my mind and it wastime toretaliate.

Retaliation 1) Deceit Is GoodIbeganconstantlylyingtoavoidlong

confrontationsanddiscussions. Forexample:The woman sat me in front of a huge

laundry basket filled with a rainbow assort-ment of rags. She told me to fetch die greenrag used for cleaning. (Meanwhile each wasdisgusting, deteriorated, and torn.)

I held up a particularly dirty bluecloth. She barked, "No. The green one." Icontinued my hunt and eventually held upan even dirtier aqua cloth. She snapped,"Thaf snotgreen. The greenone!" Isearcheddesperately. She was extremely annoyed. Ifound a teal rag and tentatively raised it up.

"THAT'S NOT GREEN! I SAIDGREEN! GREEN! GREEN!"

"I'm colorblind."I learned telling lies could also pro-

vide me with a bit of on-the-job humor. Myfavoriteswere"thesurgeongeneraldeclareddentures may cause cancer," and "Quick!WillardScottis showing your picture onTV!

Cboops. Too late. You missed it."Another means of successfully deal-

ing with the nightmarish hoard was to re-member. ..

Retaliation2)ListeningIs Better ThanCleaning Bathrooms

Basically, I would casually walk pastthe client and mumble one of the foEowingphrases: "The whole world's gone to pot,""Life used to be so much simpler," or "Alldoctors are money-stealingquacks." Thel'dsit back and relax as they uncontroEablyrambled on and on,

Iftheybeganbabblingabouthowthey,"justwishedthey'dhavetheheartattackandget it over with," I knew it was time for...

Retalialion3) Remember, They Be-lieve In God

Without remorse or hesitation, Iwould usethequips, "Godwflldeddewhenit's time", "Have faith", and "Come, now.(point towards ceiling) WhatwouldHesaytothar?"

• Granted, shamelessly manipulatingtheirreligionisnothingtobeproudof,butitcertainly is more polite than saying, "Gee,ypuknow,lwishlcouldhelpputyououtofyour misery. I know! What if I pushed youdown the stairs? Your brittle bones wouldshatter instantaneously and I could tell ev-eryone you fell."

How did I ever survive the severemental scarring that BATTY caused me?Well, after entering the local CVS and vio-lently knocking down the Ben Gay, Geritol,andMilkofMagnesia shelves withawalker,my employer paid for a short stint in amentalhospital. NowIeatProzacfor break-fast and am attending weekly seminarswhich reinforce the notion, "Non-arthriticsare people, too."

year's Hartford Hunger Cleanup, Psi U tack-led the Salvation Army's facilities, cleaningand organising as part of a larger effort toimprove the distribution of care to Hartford'sunderprivileged.

Every Halloween, in conjunction withCommunity Outreach, Psi U hosts a Hallow-eenPartyintheirhouseat81VemonStreetforlocal children. Last year the party was sosuccessful that it was covered on local TVnews, providing Psi U and Trinity as wellwith a great deal of positive publicity toaugment the goodwill fostered by the partyitself. In addition, many of the brothers workas tutors through the inner city churches.

Despite their demanding communityinvolvement, the brotherhood makes timefor athletics as well, with over three quartersof the actives playing at the varsity level.

Even with allof that, the academic sideof things isnotignored, with thebrofherhoodas a whole earning an average GPA of 3.0.

IftheCollegeAdministrationrequiredfraternities to go coed, Getzoff is unsure of PsiU's response. Though there are coed Psi U

chapters elsewhere, "We've been single sexfor over a hundred years. Before we didanything, we'd consult with the National.They will support us, whatever we decide."

Since a choice already exists atTrinity between no affiliation, coed fraterni-ties, and regular single sex fraternities andsororities, Getzoff does not think compulsorycoeducation would improve the fraternitysituation. "You take away single sexorganisations, and you take away studentoptions." As far as fraternities' potentialfuture here, Getzoff is concerned. "Killingfraternities would move people off campus,because 18 to 22 year olds are going to find asocial outlet. Then it's only a matter of timeuntil there's a drunk driving incident. Re-moving fraternities won't solve any prob-lems,itwillonlymovethemelsewhere, wherethey will be harder to solve."

Nevertheless, Getzoff is confident thatfraternities will continue to maintain theirpresence here for some time to come. "I feelstrongly that we should remain. We are somuch more than just a social outlet." ®

ARTSTwo of Trinity's Own Shine in Brahms/Stravinsky Duo

• BY KIRSTEN KOWALSKIArts Writer

If an evening of music bringingtogether the classical, romantic, modern-ist tradition was what you were lookingfor then Friday, September 27,1991, Aus-tin Arts Center was the place to be. Theevening was a program of music for twopianos with pianists Naomi Amos andGerald Moshell and featured Sonata in Fminor for Two Pianos, op. 34b, com-posed by Johannes Brahms and IgorStravinsky's Le Sacre du printemps (TheRite of Spring). Both performers are af-filiated with the college, Ms. Amos iscurrently Director of Faculty Grants andGovernment sponsored Programs, whileMr. Moshell is an Associate Professor ofMusic and was that department's chairfrom 1981-1991. Past collaborations be-tween the two artists include the 1989production of Anything Goes and "Can-teen Cabaret" a series of skits and songsfrom World War I and World War II.

The Sonata in F minor for TwoPianos began the evening. Composed byBrahms in 1864 it clearly a reflection ofhis desire to temper the richness of theRomantic age, the time period in whichhe was composing, with the control andtraditional strength of Classicism.Though not as well known as his Aca-demic Festival Overture or his Hungar-ian Dances, it is certainly a fantastic work.The particular arrangement presentedby Amos and Moshell however, was con-sidered by Brahms to be a "first version"

and was later re-written for four pianosand then as a quintet for piano, twoviolins, viola, and cello. In this piece bothMoshell and Amos exhibited their skillsas pianists moving with ease through thedelicate section of the "Andante, un pocoAdagio" and the heavy, chordal sectionsof the "Finale: Poco sostenuto; Allegronon troppo".

Amos and Moshell may have struggledthrough some of the extremely demand-ing passages of this piece is was neverevident to the listener who could only sitback and allow the rich harmonies of theBrahms to over come them. A piece whichseemed to leave no piano key untouchedand brought forth images from the pan-oramic to the miniature, it delighted theaudience one and all.

However it was the second workpresented by Amos and Moshell, LeSacredu printemps, composed by IgorStravinsky that was clearly the most strik-ing. Stravinsky is well known for manyother pieces including, the ballet, TheFirebird and the dance cantata LesNoces.Not unlike the audience which first heardthis fully orchestrated piece on May 29,1913 in Paris, those sitting in the audi-ence of Goodwin Theater could not helpbut be overwhelmed by its powerfulclashing keys and rhythm, coupled withits extreme dissonance, in this two pianoversion. As Mr. Moshell stated in hiscomments prior to performing this piecewith Ms. Amos, "Believe me, it's just agas to play," so it was equally as excitingfor the audience to experience. Writtenby Stravinsky as a ballet, the story is thatof a pagan rite, wherein a young girldances herself to death so that springmay come. Considered by some to be the

musical work which began the modern-ist movement, it was in complete opposi-tion with the Brahms.

Though the entire piece was per-formed flawlessly by Amos and Moshell,some of the more memorable sectionsincluded, "The Augurs of Spring; Danceof the YoungGiils" with fierce poundingrhythm that at times seemed to lift Mr.Moshell off of his seat and the mysticalqualities of "The Sage" with its soft con-trast and almost eerie harmonies. Thelast section, "The Sacrificial Dance (theChosen One)" indeed ended theevening's performance on an incrediblenote. Both Amos and Moshell againshowed their talent as pianists by effec-tively creating the mood of the sacrificialdance through the most complex rhythmsof the entire work. Their interpretationand performance of this sophisticatedpiece was indeed impressive.

This is not the last time Moshelland Amos will be working together thisyear. Ms Amos as Director of FacultyGrants will be working with Mr. Moshellon a symposium on the musical career ofStephen Sondheim to bepresented some-time in March of 1992. Many well knowntheatre artists have been invited to par-ticipate including producer directorHarold Prince and Frank Rich, headdrama critic for The New York Times. Q$)

ARTSArtists Against Aids for Housing:

Successful but just a drop in the bucket• BYSAKDSFANATARAND

ALICIA LEONARDArts Writers

"In 1985, 6,000 people died ofAIDS...in 1987, 20,000 people died (ofAIDS)...one out of six New York CityHigh School students test positive forHIV,"

These are some of the figuresthat CherieMittenhal quoted at the open-ing of Artists Against AIDS for Housing.

Artists Against AIDS held itssecond annual performance Saturday,September 28th in the Washington Room.The performance was a fundraiser toassist AIDS patients; this year the moneyraised will go to help AIDS patients findhousing. Cherie Mittenthal, who orga-nized the entire event, said that the moneyraised (over $13,000 from 400 guests)will be donated to the AIDS program atCenter City Churches, YWCA's ProjectHelp, the Gay-Lesbian Health Collective(a rental assistance program), and theConnecticut AIDS Residents Coalition(CARC).

Area restaurants donated thefood as well as the alcohol for the pro-gram which started at 6 p.m. and endedat midnight. Though the buffet was in-cluded in the ticket price (which wassuggested donation of $20 for adults arid

$10 for students), a charge was placed onthe drinks. As like with any function atTrinity, the alcohol ran out midwaythrough the performance, but a local res-taurant pulled through with a donationof three more cases of beer.

The program included a silentart auction, poetry and short story read-

had many of her poems and short storiespublished in literary journals and haswritten two books (Ab Ovo and Terrrarium), and Mark Doty, who has pub-lished two books of poems (Turtle Swanand Bethlehem in Broad Daylight),started the performance with poetry andshort story readings. Marichal Monts,

ings, gospel music, a dance piece, andthree areabands. The 125 artpieces weredonated by local artists and collectors.Included among the art pieces for auc-tion were jewelry, sculptures, paintings,buttons, and a Mapplethorpe original.Many of the artists personally presentedtheir artpieces to the purchasers.

The performances were, quitesimply, beautiful. Besey Reyna, who has

who hosts "Gospel Express" on WESUradio station, sang several songs thatconveyed the message of not giving uphope on this world.

The dance ensemble by WORKSand Ted Hershey, addressed the preju-dices that exist in our society towardsthose who are different. The piece alsoconveyed a sense of pain and anguish bypeople who have experienced the death

of a loved one because of AIDS. Thedance piece also called out to the audi-ence to help in the fight against AIDS.

After intermission, the perfor-mance began to pick up. The three localmusic groups had the audience laugh-ing, clapping, and dancing in the aisles.Bread and Roses, an a capella all femalegroup, has been singing political musicfor 10 years. The sarcasm and determi-nation of their of their songs had theaudience cheering and laughing. Atabex,a Latina women's band, has performedto benefit several community and AIDSorganizations throughout Hartford.Atabex's lively Latino beat inspired theaudience to get up and dance with them.The performance ended up with LevelVibz, a local reggae band, the rhythm ofthe guitar, keyboards,, bass and drumskept the audience on their feet until thevery end.

Michael Snyder, an organizer forArtists Against AIDS, said "the night wasan absolute success, but the money raisedwas just a drop in the bucket."

Artists Against AIDS was a well-organized performance that served bothas a successful fundraiser, as well as anopportunity to address issues concern-ing society's inability to deal with 'differ-ent'people.®

ARTSThe New Look of Austin Arts Center

• BY SAMREEN MALIKArts Editor

After a national search for a newdirector of the Austin Arts Center, Trin-ity finally found what it was lookingfor..Jeffry Walker. The College was in-terested in revitalizing Austin Arts Cen-ter and took this search very seriously.The process of change began with thehope of finding leadership that would besensitive to the broad range of arts and tothe Austin Arts Center as a cultural re-source for Hartford.

Jeffry Walker came to Trinity inthe summer of 1990 after completing four-teen years of experience surroundingacademic programs in the arts. The focusof his creative and teaching specialty hasbeen oh a comprehensive approach tothe theater arts; working with studentsin the classroom and on stage in acting,design, and writing.

Jeffry came in at a point inTrinity's history where assessing needswere of utmost importance. Itwas essen-tial, then, that the Director of the AustinArts Center was in tune with Trinity'sneed for a change.

In terms of physical changes atthe Austin Arts Center, the working at-mosphere is more close knit and moreoffice space exists for all departments.Management, togetherness and a pleas-ant environment are welcome additionsto the Center.

A long, careful process, withactive participation from faculty andadministration began in order to re-con-

figure staffing.The first addition to the Austin

Arts Center staff in the Performing ArtsDepartment is Full-Time Technical Di-rector, and Production Manager, Rich-ard Gold. This is the first time ever inTrinity's history that both the Perform-ing Arts and Theater/Dance Depart-ments will have a full-time staff memberto assist them.

Jack Feivou, Center Events andOperations Manager, is a senior levelmanager whose focus is on supportingguest artists and all other events, as wellas the physical plans and operations.

MelindaGildea, the Center's BoxOffice and Publicity Assistant, also holdsa new postion in which publicity ishandled for all three departments and iscoordinated through Jeffry Walker's of-fice. This has helped the Center in pre-senting a more clarified identity alongwith an organized slate of the culturalprograms at Trinity.

Eric Ben-Kiki, Fine-ArtsTechincal Assistant, was hired as part ofthe plan to assign a professional to sup-port technical and exhibitonal needs ofthe Fine Arts Department. He will beassisting the Studio Arts Department andwill also be working with students onmounting exhibitons and such. In effect,this integrates all the departments andreults in the "inter-relatedness" of theAustin Arts Center.

Pat Kennedy is essentially thecenter of inforination for the Center. Sheworks closely with Jeffry Walker in the

Austin Arts Center: The bulding is the same, but the people who make it one of centralConnecticut's best forums for the fine arts are new and have big plans for the future.

Theater/Dance and Performing ArtsDepartments. Her role is critical to theAustin Arts Center.

Kathy Schmidt is currentlyworking for the Center as Fine Arts Sec-retary andheroffice is located inHallden.

Recently hired, Kate Roy, is theCostume Shop Manager, and will workwith guest designers, construction ofcostumes, and student staff. The Centeris pleased to have Ms. Schmidt back, asshe was the Costume Shop Manager atthe Center during 1986-1987.

Despite the re-configuration ofstaff, the student staff is still critical to theCenter. Currently, roughly thirty stu-

dents are enrolled on the staff, sellingtickets, building scenery, helping withexhibitons, slide/sound recording col-lections and stage crews.'

An issue of great importance atthe Center this year is co-producingevents within Hartford. The integrationwith Hartford is now more possible whenthe Center co-sponsors with those whowant to rent space for a particular event.

The Austin Center has a com-pelling need for identity. The three De-partments that already exist are essen-tial, but the fourth entity, the Austin ArtsCenter itself, is part of the principalmechanism, ^$

SPORTSFeatured Athlete of the Week.

Joe BrockmireKnee injuries.A nightmare for any football

player, knee injuries have always evokedimages of what might have been.

Captainofthisyear'sbaseballteam,and pictured on the front of the footballbrochure, Joe Brockmire had the chanceto finish his Trinity athletic career withtwo prolific seasons,

All of that ended Saturday, Sep-tember 21.

It was a routine play- 19-TossSweep. It was the play that ended Joe'sathletic career.

Coming out of Brook's School inNorth Andover, Brockmire was heavilyrecruited by most schools from theNESCAC. He chose to come to Trinityand play two sports, baseball and foot-ball. (I believe he could have playedthree, Last year in intramural basketball,he was hitting three pointers from allover the court, wide open or with men inhis face. Unconscious!)

His freshman year, Joe did notplayvarsity football. He spent the year play-ing on the Junior Varsity, honing hisskills for the next season. In the spring,he. played some varsity baseball, split-ting shortstop duties with Rocco DeMaio.

In his sophomore year, his firstplaying varsity football, Trinity went 7-1with only a heartbreaking, last -second

loss to Williams spoiling a perfect sea-i. Joe played like a seasoned pro. In hisst prolific game as a Bantam, a 49-14

sonmosi ^ ___win over Hamilton, Joe had 48 yardsrushing and 114 receiving, including atouchdown.

Brockmire finished the season with260 yards rushing, including one touch-down against Bates, and 386 yards re-ceiving to go along with six touchdowncatches.

In the seventh game of that season,a 35-0 win over Amherst, Brockmire suf-fered the first serious knee injury of hisTrinity career. With only a few minutesremaining in the game, the play 19-TossSweep left was called, a play designed togain about five yards, and, when Joe wastackled, he could not get up. He tore theanterior crucia te ligament in his left knee.

This knee kept him out of actionfor eight months, forcing him to miss hissophomore baseball season.

When football started again, Joestill wasn't 100 percent healthy. But hestill wanted to play. The season wassomewhat of a disappointment forBrockmire, as the team failed to avengeits lone loss of the season before, to Wil-liams, and added another loss, this one toCoast Guard. His numbers were alsofairly unimpressive, as he finished withonly 88 yards rushing, including two

touchdowns, and 57 receiving.But last year, he got to play base-

ball. On a team that would finish the yearat 14-9, Brockmire played outfield andthe occasional shortstop. He finished theyear with a .282 batting average, but,more importantly, a .404 on base per-centage. And once on base, he was anightmare for opposing pitchers.

Nine stolen bases and a team lead-ing twenty runs scored attest to that. Joealso managed to drive in fourteen runs.His biggest game came against Nicholswhere he went 4-for-5 with four runsscored and four driven in.

The 1991 football season had thelook of greatness. Joe began the seasonas the starting halfback and had beeninjury free for over a year. The football

Another Race, Another Win• CLAIRE SUMMERS

Special to Tripod Sports

Once again the Women's CrossCountry team made an impresive show-ing, this time up at the Amherst Invita-tional. Trinity won the race and placedfour runnners in the top ten. Unfortu-nately, the men didn't fare as well, finish-ing fourth out of five teams.

Freshman sensation, superstar andotherwise outstanding runner SarahStuckey once again outdistanced the restof the field, coming home with a com-fortable lead of fourteen seconds. Hertime for the 3.1 mile race was 18:58.

Having closely defeated Amherstlastweekat Williams, the Women's teamknew the competition would be tough.Surprisingly it wasn't Amherst that camein second to Trinity, but Westfield State.Amherst, which placed three runners inthe top six, had disappointing races by itsnumber four and five runners, and as ateam finsihed a unsatisfying third.

Trinity was able to beatthe compe-tition and win Amherst's Invitationalbecause the top five runners kept rela-tively close to one another. Coming insecond for Trinity, and fourth overall,was Debby Gammons '93, who finished

in 19:57. Seconds behind was co-captainCarrie Pike, in 20:02.

Soon after came co-captain ClaireSummers '92, finishing eighth in 20:34.Rounding out the top five for the womenwas freshman Christine Siegfried.

Other finishers for Trinity wereDani Slepian '95, Heather Dunbar '95,junior Emily Branhart and Laura Parnum'95.

For the men, sophomore SteveHarding led the way. Completing thefive mile course in 27:51, Harding's timewas good enough for a fourth place fin-ish. *~

Senior Sam Adams and freshmanChris Bride both had their best races ofthe season, finishing in 29:49 and 29:57,"respectively, but it was not enough tolead the men to victory.

Finsihing fourth for Trinity wasJon Ives '93 and rounding out the top fivefor the Bants was freshman SchuylerHavens.

Although the men didn't have assuccessful a team finish as the women,their individual performances showedgreat improvement and hope for the fu-ture.

Next week both teams venture toWilliams again, this time to race in a tri-meet with RPI and Williams. W

coming up with big plays, Wallace putTrinity up 28-7 with 10:11 remaining inthe game when he hauled in a 13-yardtouchdown pass from Lane, who fin-ished the day 19 of 28 for 177 yards. Lanehad set up the score by sprinting to hisright, faking a toss, and then throwing a35-yard pass to freshman wideout TomMcDavitt.

Bowdoin quickly countered withan 80-yard, 16-play drive in which thePolar Bears operated with a no-huddleattack. Eric LaPlaca scored on a two-yard rushing touchdown with 6:05 left inthe game. Bowdoin attempted an onsideskick, but backup quarterback Paul

Broderick '93 downed the ball for Trin-ity. Wallace added to his scoring totalswhen he scampered twenty yards for atouchdown on a draw play with 3:28 leftto play. Ted O'Connor's fifth extra pointended the day's scoring, giving Trinitythe 35-14 lead.

Trinity now heads up to WilliamsforashowdownwiththeEphman. Whenasked about the upcoming Williamsgame, Miller replied, "We are not goingto worry about Williams quite yet. We'reconcerned about Jeff Luzzi's health atthis point. (Luzzi was taken off the fieldin an ambulance at the end of the thridquarter.)' It was a great win for us.

the ball was deflected over the onrush-ing Engineer goalkeeper into the net.Although it remains unclear who actu-ally scored the goal, the more impor-tant fact is that the game was now tiedat one.

The score remained tied forthe duration of the half. Rodriguezcreated several more scoring opportu-nities for the Bants but none material-ized. With about six minutes to playYates broke free on a breakaway thatcould have given the Bants the lead, buthe too was unable to finish. Fortu-nately, the Bants defense, although attimes unsure on the faster surface, heldW.P.I. at bay. More than once the speedof Cormier foiled a potential break forthe Engineers. Wray, Stolarz, and Afsar-Keshmiri also made numerous big playsfor the Bants.

Ward had arguably his bestgame of the season in net for the Bants.He finished with eleven saves, severalof which looked to be sure goals forW.P.I.. Some of his biggest saves cameduring overtime. However, with two

minutes left in the first overtime periodhe was unable to come up with a de-flected head ball off of a W.P.I, cornerkick. Down 2-1, the Bants looked to bein trouble, especially away from home.To their credit, the Bants did not foldup.

They.took the subsequentkickoff right down the field whereRodriguez earned a corner kick. Evanshit a beautiful ball to the far post whereBruno headed in his first career goal asa Bantam. It could not have been moretimely, as within a minute of the W.P.I,goal, the Bants had re-tied the game. Inthe second overtime period both teamsstruggled to notch a game-winning goal,but neither defense would allow pen-etration. The game ended a 2-2 tie,putting the Bants season mark at 2-2-1.

Through five games the Bantshave played well enough for optimismas they enter the heart of their schedulethis week. Today the Bants face EasternConnecticut at home at 4:00 and arehome Saturday against Williams at11:00. Both games are critical, as theBants start their run for an E.C.A.C.tournament berth. ®

SPORTSWomen's Soccer Rolls Over WNEC, StoppedShort By Conn; Thayer Breaks Scoring Recordn B Y PETER M. FRIEDMAN

Sports Editor

The women's soccer team wentfrom a blowout victory to a 1-0 shutoutloss in the span of 24 hours this weekend.In the process, team star and tri-captainSally Thayer '92 scored two more goals,arid became Trinity's all time leadinggoal scorer. Thayer's first assist of theseason will give her the all time assistrecord as well. She has scored six goalsalready this year in the first four games.

Thayer notched her two goals onFriday against Western New EnglandCollege in a 10-1 rout. The Bantamsstarted to pour it on early, and never letup. The team got offensive productionfrom a multitude of players. To an extentthe scoring outburst put to rest the fearthat the offense was a one woman show.Prior to Friday's game against WNEC noone had scored except Thayer. One ofthe other trt-captains, midfielder JulieEdlund '93 put in a goal as well. SeniorBecksie Burt also added a tally for thewomen. The Bantams also received goals

from some women who have neverscored before. First time net-finders KelliHarrington '94, Sarah Menoyo '95, LissaSmith '95, Robin Leary '95 and MargotMoses '95 all contributed to a mammothscoring effort. As if to indicate what kindof day it was for WNEC, one of Trinity'sgoals came when a WNEC player put theball in her own net.

The scoring efforts by the fresh-men were pleasing in that they showwhere the offensive talent of the futurelies for the Bants. Many of the freshman,particularly Smith, who plays forward,and Lea Wedge, a fullback/midfielder,have displayed talents that will serve theteam well in the future.

The victory against WNEC put theBantams record at2-l, and sent themintoSaturday's contest at Connecticut Col-lege with some confidence. The Camelsoutscored the Bantams 1-0, and outshotthe Bants 12-5 to puncture that confi-dence. The lone goal of the game came inthe 42nd minute of the game, whenKristen Supko beat Bantam goalie AllisonBolk '93 off a centering pass. The victory

for the Camels sent their record to 5-1.The game followed a similar pat-

tern to the team's 2-1-loss to Amherst lastweek. The Bantams dominated the firsttwenty minutes of the game but wereunable to to net the ball. As CoachMaureen Pine said "We really missed

Conn Coll 1some chances that we should have had,including some open nets and the like."

With some of their spirit sappedby their failure to break through, theBantams began to lose control of the

game. Connecticut College began to ap-ply heavy pressure on Trinity only to bethwarted by the tenacious Bantam de-fense. The first half ended in a scorelesstie, but the Camels put one in early in thesecond half. From there both teamsfoughthard,butneitherteamcouldscore.

Although the team was chagrined,the team can take consolation in the factthat they played a good game againstone of the finest teams in New England.The Bantams will have two tough gamesthis week against Smith and Williams,and a not as tough one versus Nichols.Coach Pine is hoping that the team canwin at least two out of three games. Thegame against Williams should be an es-pecially difficult one, but not one that theEphs can take for granted. Last yearWilliams won the NESCAC champion-ship but fell to the Bants in the regularseason. Both teams will have somethingto prove so the game should be closelycontested and tightly fought. With agood week, the Bantams will put them-selves in position to win an invitation tothe conference playoffs. $&

Bantam Boys Tie WEI, Fall 1b QuiiirtipiaG• BY MARK GRUB A

Sports Writer ' . . . . .

The Men's Soccer teamstruggled this past week> dropping a 2-1overtime decision to Quinnipiac lastMonday at home, and escaping from theWorchester Polytechnical Institute onSaturday with a 2-2 tie, also in overtime.

The game Monday againstQuinnipiac gave the Bants little time tocelebrate their victory over M.I.T. the pre-vious Saturday. The conditions at game

. time were cold and rainy, but the Bantswere optimistic about extending theirwinning streak to three games. The firsthalf followed a familiar pattern for theBants. After settling into the game, theBan ts took control. Precise passing fromthe midfield qi mrtet of Joe Cassarino '92,Carlos Vallejo '93, who started in place ofTri-Captain Matt Evans who was stillrecovering from a concussion receivedin Saturday's game, Matt Peterson '93,and Pat Bruno '95, combined with timelyruns from forwards Ralph Fierro '92 andPeter Alegi '92 led to numerous scoringopportunities. Nonecould be converted,however.

The defensive quartet of Tri-Captains John Twichell '92 and DavidWray '92, Armin Afsar-Keshmiri '94, andStan Stolarz '94 meanwhile, was solid asusual. They shut down the Quinnipiacattack and made goalie Jeff Ward's '92work relatively routine. The halftimescore was 0-0, with Trinity having noth-ing to show for its better showing. Thesecond half, however, would see whatheretofore had been a mild game, climaxinto a dramatic overtime period leavingTrinity players and fans alike in shock atits conclusion.

With eleven minutes left in thesecond half, as the Bants continued todominate the play, a series of Bantamcorner kicks would break the scorelesstie. The first couple of corner kicks weredriven to the near post, forcing theQunnipiac defense to compensate byshifting their defenders to the near post.Having lured Quinnipiac into this pos-

ture, the Bants quickly exploited it ontheir nextcornerkick. Peterson "pinged"the ball to the far post where Twichellrose and deflected the ball into the netfor a 1-0 lead.

The Bants could not capitalizefurther on this breakthrough, however,and as the minutes elapsed on the gameclock, Trinity seemed content to cling totheir slim lead. Quinnipiac continued topress for a goal, and Ward was forced tomake several close saves. One-goal leads

; are never a sure thing in soccer, unfortu-

riod. Ward, who finished with nine saves,continued to make several game savingstops in net for the Bants, but the pres-sure on him was mounting.

With only five minutes left inthe overtime, an inadvertent hand-ballby Trinity gave Quinnipiac a penaltykick. Ward guessed correctly on theshot, but it just beat him to the corner ofthe net. Down 2-1, the Bants continuedto fight, but it was in vain. A red cardawarded to Twichell on a questionablecall, and a subsequent red card awarded

methodical Bantams while playing intothe hands of the speedy W.P.I, forwards.

Despite this, the game remainedscoreless for most of the first half. Bothteams failed to capitalize on scoring op-portunities until with six minutes left inthe half W.P.I, broke through, scoring ona shot from the top of the eighteen yardbox. Trinity, which had played a stronghalf, let down at the end and found them-selves down 1-0 at the half. During half-time, Head Coach Eddie Mighten urgedthe Bants not to use the field surface as an

nately, and with less than four minutesto play Quinnipiac shocked the Bants byscoring the equalizer. Victory had beensnatched from the hands of the Bants,who knew they would have to regroupif they were to recapture it in overtime.

The overtime session, whichconsisted of two fifteen minute periods,was fast and furious. Quinnipiac, givennew life, raised the level of their game.The Bants were equal to the task, how-ever. Both teams squandered severalscoring opportunities, and the game re-mained knotted at one after the first pe-

to Alegi marred the end of an alreadydisappointing game for the Bants.

After a long week of practicethe Bants traveled to Worchester revital-ized, ready to take on the Engineers. Thegame was played on astroturf, an unfa-miliar surface for the Bants. Tim Yates'94 started in place of Alegi and DennisCormier '92 started for Twichell. W.P.I,held a distinct advantage on their homefield, controlling and protecting the ballmuch more cleanly than the Bants. Thefield surface lent itself to a kick and runstyle of play which frustrated the more

excuse. Putting more pressure on the' Engineer midfielderpwpuldput the Bantsright back in control of'Uie game.

The second half saw the Bantscome out flying. Evans, back in the start-ing line-up after missing a game, andBruno established supremacy in themidfield. The tandem of Mark Gruba '93and Paulo Rodriguez''94 pestered theW.P.I, defense into several miscues.Within sevenminutes thisincreased pres-sure paid dividends for the Bants.

COLLEGESEASON o

BY PETER M.FRIEDMAN

I'd like to offer a prayer for the Bantam sports teams. A prayer that they kickthe hell out of the Williams College Ephraims in every sport we play against themthis weekend. In truth there is a hint of frustration and desperation in my prayer.It has made my tenure as sports editor frustrating to see our mighty Bantamsvanquished by the Ephs time and time again.

Perhaps the best case of this was the Williams-Trinity football game twoyears ago, although last year's game would have to be considered a close secondon the frustration chart. Trinity has been the team that has come closest to beatingWilliams in the Ephs last 24 games. You've heard of the Sports Illustrated jinx; itseems that the Bantams suffer from an Ephman jinx. This Saturday the Bantamfootball team will take on Williams again at the Ephs home field. Will this be theyear that we can finally end our frustration? It seems that we've got an awfullygood chance to upset our rivals. Without their star lineman Teddy Rodgers, whogave the Bants fits for four years, the Ephs may be a little vulnerable. Combinedwith a very strong team this will give us a chance to win.

But it isn'fjust the Williams football team that gives us fits, it seems like wehave difficulty beating them in most sports, even though we stack up well againstthem on paper. And when we do beat them, it seems as if that doesn't even derailthem from their appointed destiny with overall victory, i.e. last year's women'ssoccer team.

I admit that I take our losses to Williams personally, because my brother wasWilliams class of '90. He lives in Washington D.C with two other Williams men,and they have a charming way of not letting me forget the fact that they maintainathletic superiority over us.

When I mentioned the fact that Williams-Trinity games are usually won bythe forces of evil to a friend of mine who is the sports editor of the Williams Recordhe gladly (mis) quoted me in his column as saying that we Bants were jealous ofhis school. No doubt this adds just a little more to their insufferable arrogance.

This weekend our men's and women's soccer teams, our field hockey team,our tennis team, and our football team will all be facing the Ephs. All except thefootball game will be at home. Trinity students, I implore you go to these gamesand cheer on our athletes to spur them to victory. And Bantam athletes, I offer you

Tennis Team Unable To FindWinning Combinations

P BY FRED FALKSONSports Writer

The Women's Tennis Team con-tinued their season last week with a gru-eling road trip that took them all overNew England. Coach Wendy Bartlett'sBantams first confronted perennial pow-erhouse Tufts with the hope they couldrise over the.500 mark. But the Jumbosproved themselves extremely talented,defeating Trinity 8-1 in what involvedseveral closely contested matches.

One of the lone bright spots forTrinity was the play of the #5 singlesplayer Kristen Scholhamer '94.Scholhamer rallied from a one set deficitand eventually gutted out an impressivethree set win.

Tuesday the Bantams travelled toUConn to take on the Huskies in whatended up as a disappointing 4-4 dead-lock. The match was tied 3-3 after the

singles matches, and with a win by bothschools in doubles, the Bantam's forrtunes rested with the#l team of co-cap-tain Bo Hewitt '93 and Anita Shin '94.The team- found themselves down oneset and a break 4-2 in the second. ButHewitt and Shin were able to gain fnur_straight games and prevail 6-4. Momen-tum was definitely on the side of theBantams when the match was called fordarkness after play neared 7:00 pm.

After the frustration of the UConnmatch, the Bantams were to expierienceanother nail biter, this time againstWellesley. At #2 singles, Laura Hubbard'93 prevailed 7-5, 6-4. In #5 singlesScholhamer again won in a tough threeset match 2-6,6-3,6-3. Kate Whitmore '95was able to defeat her opponnent 6-3,7-5. At#l singlesBoHewittlostacloseonewhich featured two tie break sets.

With the overall score tied 3-3, theBantam's would once again have to de-pend on their doubles teams. All threedoubles contests would go the distanceof three sets. KateWhitmore '95 andScholhamer provided a 3-6,6-2,6-4 win.The #1 team of Hewitt and Shin lost 6-2,2-6,6-4. Co-captain Stephanie Voros '92and Hubbard lost another close contest5-7, 6-2, 6-1 to close out a 5-4 overallvictory for Wellesley.

These last two matches, both ofwhichcouldhavebeen wins, should givethe Bantams something to work on fortheir upcoming games and the New En-gland tournament. Many of thesematches are decided by the doubles, notby singles blowouts as the Bantams hadpreviously expierienced. Thereforedoubles will be their major focus inpractice. Voros observed, "We're gettingbetter and better every match." (Q

Sheppard thought that Jones "was justtrying to put the ball in play for Farrar orLindsey Davison '94 to put it in goal."But the shot went in."

Davison had many scoring opporrtunities, but, either because of bad luckor questionable whistles by the referees,she was shut out. The referees, though,seem to be the only ones able to stop her.

"Last year, Lindsey played leftwing, but.. .she moved inside this yearand has just been unstoppable. Oppos-ing coaches have been asking 'Who'snumber 10?' all the time." The opposingcoaches may not know now, but theirgoaltenders will soon find out.

Rice has also been been playingwell of late. "This past game was one ofLexi's best games here at Trinity. Thesecond half she set up about ten potentialgoals, but they just didn't go in."

In the second half of the game,everyone saw action, some for the firsttime of the year. One of those seeingtheir firstiield time was freshman goalieAlisha Wayman.

"She played great for us. She got

fired upon and made a couple 6f nicesaves. Alisha and Ashley [Graves '93]are both very supportive of each other,but they play very different styles," saysSheppard.

It can be difficult for a defenseaccustomed to one style of goalie to getused to one completely different, but co-captains Margot Ring '92 and ChristinaDavison '92 both play defense and helpthe team adjust to any new situation.

With people playing as well asthey've been playing all year, two goal-ies who don't let anything past them,unstoppable offensive forces, fantasticdefensive ability and new people play-ing new positions and playing them well,the Field Hockey team is on a roll andlooking for two big victories this week.On a mini-homestand, the team playshost to both its opponents this week.Tomorrow at 3:30 they face Amherst andSaturday afternoon at 2:00 they look toavenge their loss to Williams in lastseason's ECAC Championship game.Come down and see what may be thebest team on campus.

Water Polo Wins BigD BY PAT WEST

Sports WriterOn Tuesday the 24th,

Worchester Polytechnic Institute cameto Trinity to play a water polo matchagainst the Ducks. They left wishing theyhad never come. Trinity routed W.P.I.12-3 to push the Ducks' record to 2-1 andset W.P.I. (0-1) in the wrong direction intheir opener of the season. With a strongcrowd behind them, the Ducks took ad-vantage of the home pool and embar-rassed W.P.I, to the pointwhere star John"Sparky" Donahue '94 "felt bad aboutscoring anymore goals." (But, of course,he kept scoring despite his sentiments).

The game started on a bad notefor the Ducks though, as W.P.I, jumpedout to a quick 1-0 lead on a penalty shotafter the Ducks missed key opportuni-ties to score early. But when EricDeCavaignac '93 substituted for Wayne"The Ogre" Ogorazalek '95, the Ducksbegan to roll as experience and speedoverwhelmed W.P.I.. Using a strong fastbreak and accurate passing, the Ducksshot out to a 7-1 lead by halftime.

Multiple goals by Donahue '94and Ian Kennedy '93 gave the Duckstheir comfortable lead, with another goalput in by captain Ren "Just Ren"Getzendamer '92 for good measure.

The second half was more ofthe same as the Ducks rotated playersand kept pushing the ball on offense andgenerating numerous turnovers on de-fense. The trio of Donahue , Kennedyand "Ren" increased the goal total to 12for the Ducks, with Donahue netting 5,Kennedy scoring 4, and "Ren" getting ahat trick. For the third game in a row,outstanding goaltending was put in byBen Carvalho '92, but the big surprisewas the play of goalie Graham Shelter '94who split the time with Carvalho. Shel-ter shut out W.P.I, during all his minuteswhile making his rookie appearance amemorable one by intimidating W.P.I,players with his size (Shelter is 6'7") andaggressive tactics.

In the second game of the week,the Ducks travelled to play BridgewaterState on Saturday and ran into a pool fullof violent, under-talented opponents. Inwhat was clearly the ugliest game of the

season so far, the Ducks were forced intoa style they were not comfortable withfor most of the match. The game openedwith a Bridgewater St. goal as the Ducksexperimented with a two-hole systemtrying to capitalize on the strength ofPaul Sullivan '95 and Patrick West '94,but quickly learned that would not work.Goals were traded back-and forth overthe course of most of the game. Evenwith West notching the first goal of hiscareer and Dave Lynch '93 adding an-other tally, the match was close despitethe Ducks' obvious superiority in pass-ing and substituting. The Ducks weregetting frustrated with the physical playof Bridgewater St.. The ineptness of thereferee kept the score deadlocked at 8-8at the end of 3 quarters. But with the startof the final quarter, Kim Aguilar '94 hadhad enough of the brutality ofBridgewater St., and so had the rest of theDucks.

Trinity was finally able to over-come the roughness of Bridgewater St.with elbows and shoulders of their ownand turned the tight game into a blow-out. With captain Getzendamer '92 urg-ing the Ducks to get aggressive andSullivan '95 responding to his captain'surging the game got to the point wheretempers were flaring arid curses wererolling off of tongues. The Ducks finallygot things to click and countered with agoal almost every possession. Fast-break-ing on every offensive opportunity, theDucks scored 10 goals in 7 minutes andwith Carvalho in net, they shut outBridgewater St. in the final period.Kenndey '93 upped his season scoringtotal to 15 with 4 goals (all in the secondhalf) and Donahue '94 raised his total to14 by scoring 6 goals, 5 of which came inthe final period. West '94 finished with 4goals and Lynch recorded a hat trick forthe Ducks. But perhaps the best goal ofthe day came when Carvalho '92 heaveda bomb at the end of regulation which cutthrough the other goalie's hands for a 25-yard strike to end the scoring at 18-8 infavor of the Ducks.

The Ducks now prepare forHoly Cross on Thursday and hope to runtheir winning streak to 3 and improve ontheir 3-1 record. ®

John Donahue f94John Donahue '94 wins the Tripod athlete of

the week for his play on the water polo team. TheDucks won both of their games, routing W.P.I. 12-3, and Bridgewater State 18-7. Donahue contrib-uted mightily to both victories, notching 11 goalsin the games. Against W.P.I. Donahue put in sixgoals, as Trinity took its only home game of theyear in fine fashion. Donahue's finest performanceof the season came against Bridegewater State,when with the game notted at seven going into thefinal quarter, he scored four goals to put the Ban-tams in the driver's seat. The Ducks are now 3-1 onthe year, thanks in no small part to Donahue's 14goals.

Back On TrackField Hockey Now 3-1

CYNTHIA KRON

• BY CHRISTOPHER BROWNSports Information Director

In order to head up toWilliamstown with a 2-0 record for whathas been a clash for NESCAC braggingrights, Trinity needed to come up with avictory against a talented Bowdoin squad.Trinity did move to 2-0 by posting a 35-14 win, with big plays from the defense,particularly strong safety Jeff Devanney'93, and a steady performance from quar-terback James Lane '92 proving to be thedifference for Trinity on a clear Saturdayafternoon.

The Bantams marched down thefield within striking distance of theBowdoin goal line on their first two pos-sessions, but both times Trinity cameaway with no points to show for theirefforts.

On the first drive, Lane's pass at-tempt to John Mullaney '93 in the leftcorner of the end zone was interceptedby a Bowdoin defender and returned tothe Bowdoin 34-yard line.

On their next possession, Trinitydrove from their own 13-yard line downto the Bowdoin 9 before settling for a 25-yard field goal attempt from senior TedO'Connor. O'Connor pushed the balljust right, ending another Bantam scor-ing opportunity.

Forced to punt after just three plays,Bowdoin's punter delivered the ball intoDevanney's hands at Trinity's 42-yardline. In his first game as a punt returner,and only the third punt return of hiscareer, the junior headed straight up fieldthrough the first wave of Polar Bear tack-lers, picked up a key block from Mark

•• Doherty '94 and streaked down the right

sideline for a 58-yard touchdown returnto give Trinity a 7-0 lead with only 23seconds remaining in the first quarter."That was a big play," said Head CoachDon Miller. "It put some points on theboard when we really needed them."

Bowdoin tied the score 7-7 whenthey capped an eleven play drive with a14-yard touchdown pass.

Trinity responded with a 60-yarddrive in which Lane mixed the pass withthe run. The senior signal caller pre-served the drive when he hit halfbackMike Wallace '93 with a 14-yard pass ona 4th and ten situation from the Bowdoin24. Lane put Trinity ahead 14-7 by toss-ing a two-yard strike to sophomore tightend Eric Mudry at the 2:29 mark of thesecond quarter, Trinity held a 14-7 leadat the half.

Unlike last week's contest withColby, Trinity's offense came out evenstronger in the second half than they hadbeen in the first two quarters.

"We played two strong halves thisweek, " said Miller. "The offense anddefense came out ready for the secondhalf. We learned a lot last week withColby, and our offense has gained a greatdeal of confidence. But we still have a lotof young people in the lineup."

One of those younger players wassophomore fullback Julian Craig. Craigscored the Bantams' third tduchdown ofthe day on a one-yard plunge with 12:05left in the third quarter, Craig, a line-backer last season, made his first start intlie backfield Saturday, and rushed for53 yard on eleven carries. His touch-down was made possible by a Bowdoinfumble at their own 38-yard line that was

Looking to add to their modesttwo-game winning streak, the FieldHockey team ventured up to face Mt.Holyoke last Wednesday. Four first-halfgoals, constant pressure in the offensiveend and perfection by two goalies alladded up to a 4-0 win and a 3-1 record.

Playing a team, Mt. Holyoke, thatdoesn't have a strong record, the Ban-tams nevertheless could not take theiropponent for granted. A very fiesty team,Mt. Holyoke plays in a frenetic style thatcould sometimes be called disorganized.But the most important difference be-tween these two teams is the talent level.Trinity simply has more.

And it showed throughout thegame. Trinity controlled the ball through-out the first half, constantly pressing Mt.Holyoke goalieMuffy Kelso. Shehandledthe pressure well, at least early on. Fi-nally, with about nineteen minutes re-maining in the first half, Lexi Rice '93broke through and scored,

Justafewminutes later, Ricescoredagain. But this was no average goal,"Lexi hit the ball so hard," said HeadCoach Robin Sheppard, "that everyoneon the bench wanted to run out on to thegoal to see if there were any splinterscoming off the goal."

Twenty-seven min-utes into thehalf, juniorAshley Parrarhit the back ofthe Holyokegoal to putTrinity ahead3-0. The goalwas Farrar'sfirst of hervarsity career.

"Ashleyhas been asurprise thisyear," saysS h e p p a r d ."We havemoved heraround all over the place this y ear,' {rumher middle link position of last year,"and she has finally found her spot atright wing. She has earned her positionby her willingness to do anything. Weneeded someone to replace Grace (Cragin'93 who is abroad this year) and Ashleyhas been terrific."

With just about two minutes left inthe half, Braxton Jones '94 ended thescoring on the day, putting Trinity ahead4-0. Described as a "freak goal" bySheppard, Jones was "barely within the25-yard line and at a strange angle."
