Transfers discuss methods of pre-registrationMost of the argument over pre-

registration has centered aroundprohlems which nobody seems tohave adequate facts or figures for.In an attempt to clarify theseissues, the COLLEGE VOICE didits own investigation of pre-registration at a number of schoolssimilar to Conn.The registrar's office at five

different schools were contacted:Wesleyan, Trinity, Bowdoin,Middlebury and Amherst. In ad-dition, transfer and exchangestudents at Connecticut were in-terviewed. These students camefrom such schools as Smith,Holyoke, Goucher, Bowdoin,Wheaton, Skidmore, Cornell,Ithaca, Middlebury, Bates andColorado. It was an informativeenterprise that shed much light onthe possibility of pre-registration.The most explicit information

was gathered from phone calls tovarious reglstrars. At Trinity "thefaculty wanted and needed pre-registration" and now find it "veryhelpful." Mrs. Miller, theAssociate Registrar said, "Wellover 50 percent of the studentschange their courses during theadd-drop period, but this does notaffect the total enrollments in each

Surprisinglyenough the force of the questions fired towaras Mr. Lance centereaaround' his" ethical standards," rather than the legality of his pastperformances. Senate hearmas will continue this week.The economic plight of America's major cities was reinforced this past

week by a new study prepared for the Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment. According to the study, the exodus out of the citiesand into the suburbs has grown, leaving the cities with fewerhusinesses and consumers. H.U,D. is said to be frustrated in thesearch for a remedy.

Transit police canoffer no clues as to the murderer's identity and do not seem very hopefulabout ever apprehending the criminal. Said one 0 f the city's spokesmen,"It could have been anybody."

U1anor, a student from Bowdoin on .exchange compared Bowdoin'ssystem to Conn's. "Registrationwas really bad here. Iwonder whyit had to be that way. At bowdoinwe rarely didn't get a course wesigned up for," she said.A year ago Wesleyan instituted

pre-registration even with studentopinion against it. The registrarthere stated, "All but five to tenpercent of the students switch theircourses during the drop-addperiod. Even :10, "pre-registrationfigures approach actualenrollment figures." They too,found pre-registration helped thbookstore, professors and theprocess of scheduling.Carl Lindholm, the assistant

dean of students at Middleburysaid, "With pre-registration wehave a lot cleaner system."Students pre-register in a randomorder determined by a computerand if necessary professors keepwaiting lists. However, livery fewpeople get knocked out of courses,"Lindholm said. He cautioned that"this might bedue to the fact thatthere are very few limitedenrollment courses." He alsostated that about "20 to 25 percentof the students switch coursesduring the add-drop period."At Amherst each student may

pre-register any time during thespace of one week. Students

• complete a "program requestform" after consultation with theiradvisers. "At least half thestudents switch their coursesduring add-drop period, but it stillhelps the bookstore and the facultya great deal."Most of the transfer and ex-

change students talked of systems

similar to the one at Bowdoin. PatLanning, a transfer from Gouchersaid, HIt was a lot easier atGoucher. Spaces were left open forfreshmen and they received lotterynum bers during orientation. Up-perclassmen were given cards withdifferent ranking numbers 'onthem."Kathleen Boluch found a much

more equitable system at Skid-more. She said, "Registration isnolfair here. The only reason I hadno problems was because theysnuck the transfers in the hackdoor. At Skidmore everybody wasgiven a chance to get into courses. '.'

HAt Wheaton we seemed to havea better system," said DianeWade. "There was a preliminaryregistration for limited enrollmentcourses." Elizabeth {Platt, atransfer from Smith, said, "Withpre-registration we were given achance to speak to our advisers.Most of the work was done by theindividual student and there wasnot a feeling of not knowing whatyou were getting into."There are a variety 'of different

systems for pre-registration, all ofthem suited to various needs, andall of them seem to be very suc-cessful. This is due in large part tothe fact that there are notsignificant. changes in courseenrollments with an add-dropperiod. These facts might be ap-plicable to pre-registration atConnecticut. This could also throw. some doubt on Dr. Rhyne's in-terview with the College Voice onSeptern ber II. In the coming weeksthe SGA will be dealing with pre-registration. It should be in-teresting to see how they and theAdministration view these facts.

THE COLLEGE VOICE, SEPTEMBER 23, 19773

'Fink clause' modificationConn's Honor Code underwent

surgery by this year's JudiciaryBoard and emerged with amodified version of the con-troversial " fink clause." Thisclause states that H under theHonor System the student who isaware that a fellow student hasviolated the Honor Code and hasnot reported himself should remindthat student to do so."Unit! two years ago, this clause

only placed a moral obligation onstudents to report a suspectedviolator of the Honor Code. Then,under Leslie Margolin's chair-manship, the Judiciar y Boardreviewed this clause and deter-mined that the student's duty toturn in violations implied a legaloblication. Therefore, not repor-ting a violation was an infractionand a punishable offense in itself.This policy continued under

Tammy Kagan's chairmanshiplast year, but was criticallyquestioned and eventually alteredafter Jerry Carrington became JBoard Chairman last spring. Thepresent J Board will hold an openpolicy meeting on this issue onSeptember 28 to listen to studentreaction.The current status of the fink

clause, as explained on page four ofthe J Board packet, is that J Board" strongly recommends" thatstudents witnessing a suspectedinftaction of the Honor Code "remind the person that heshouldreport himself to theJudiciary Board Chairman." JBoard will not, however, punishstudents if they do not report asuspected infraction.Rather than putting a duty onto

students to report violations,students now have a personaloption whether or not to report asuspected violation.Jerry Carrinton explained, "We

like to treat everyone as adults andas a result we'd like to take thepunishment out. The only way wecould do this was to change thewording. Now it's an option thatyou have and I think it's an optionin everyone's mind to begin with.""There is, I think, enough in a

person to follow the clause as iswithout having a punishmentassociated with it, which I think iskind of stupid and childish. It'ssaying "we don't trust you enoughto turn someone else in or report asuspected infraction so that's whywe're having a punishment," hecontinued.Karen Franklian, a sophomore J

Board representative, commented,"I think we have to allow forpeople's personal beliefs or ifsomething goes contrary to thesebeliefs and causes a great deal ofconflict with themselves. There's alot of pressure involved in turningsomeone in."She continued, HI really put my

trust in students to uphold theHonor Code. I'd like to believe thatwe're all mature adults and I'd liketo believe there's no need to punishstudents who do not choose to turnin another person. It's unhealthy topromote guilt via punishingstudents for not reportingsuspected violations."Audrey Cutler, a junior J Board

representative, said, "I don't thinkJ Board should go around forcingvalue judgements on students. Thestudents here mak: ~p. a com-

originally were in favor of main-taining the fink clause as apunishable offense, Ms Barrettexplained that she voted for the"strongly recommend" clausecompromise and is willing to trythis out. "If it were just me makingthe decision, I would keep theclause in," she said, since shethinks that not reporting the in-fraction is inconsistent with theHonor Code.Colnes commented, "Since the

Honor Code is an advantage, theresponsibilty of ohe fink clausegoes with it. We're responsible forour own community here. Theresponsibilty of the fink clause isreally the price that we have to payfor living under an honor system.""If it.s a responsibility, then it

isn't a matter of choice anymore. It'it's a responsibility. then it'ssomething you have to do," headded.By making not reporting asuspected violation a punishableoffense, Carrington pointed out, "itsays to the students 'we can't trustyou' Ypur moral character is nothigh enough and we think that byeliminating these restrictions orthis law, you're going to justblatantly not obey it,' I don't thinkthat's true and it's being proventhat it's not true,"Carrington commented, "The J

Board has a definite trust instudents. We're looking at theentire situation I think very"realisti.cally and not soidealistically as possible. We dokeep in the idealism by keeping theclause in. We don't make it aI!unishable offense. That's the-difference."" ,

munrty. Why should it be a policestate? A person should feelnaturally compelled to report aninfraction ."Michael Colnes, a former J

Board member disagrees with thenew fink clause status. He ex-plained, "By not making the finkclause a conditon for the HonorCode, you're really saying thateach individual can choose to -whatextent he wants to be honorable. Interms of academic cheating, itaffects the competition betweenstudents. In terms of shoplifting orvandalism where students end uppaying for violations, it isn't yourchoice to make:'"The explicet responsibilty of the

fink clause is part and parcel of anhonor code. It's a responsibilty. Ittakes away the temptation torationalize not turning someone inwhich is very easy to do, especiallyin the case of someone you know,"he added.Carrinton, however, said, "What

I'm trying to convey and this is Ithink what the J Board is trying toconvey is that we realize peoplewill turn people in regardless ofwhether there is punishmentassociated with the fink clause,"One problem which sophomore

repre-sentative Joel Mishkin isconcerned with is that keeping thefink clause as a punishable offense

. differentiates between studentsand faculty. Since faculty cannotbe punished for not reporting aninfraction, he feels it would beunfairly inconsistent if studentswere.Although Senior representative

Something to learn from Ames

The President's remarks last week on the College's policy on drugswere purposefully ambiguous. His letter did not aim to make clear afirming up or relaxing of College enforcement; but instead simply statedthe situation with the same worn-out words.The Administration is solid behind these words on the use of drugs on

campus. They are protected. We suspect the same type of sentiment wasinvolved in the resignation, forced as it was, of former Campus SafetyDirector Craig L. Hancock.

The students of this college are caught in a not so unfamiliar double-jeopardy. On the one side there is the College with its reputation toprotect. On the other, there are state and federal laws which could exertenough pressure for the College to reconsider its reputation and that of itsstudents.

We are, after all, living in Real World, U.S.A. Do we expect that our$6,000 tuition pays for the prerogative to be isolated from federal andstate laws? According to the Administration's policies, they will do theirbest, save obstructing justice, to provide this law exempt shelter.In such situations, it is always smart to play it safe. We must protect

ourselves, be careful, and depend little on the College. The circumstanceswarrant this attitude. Last semester's raids displayed the reality whichcan startle a complacent soul, seemingly isolated from the outsideworld's laws.We are given no assurances from the President's letter. The rumors

which always seem to be floating around are many times not just gossip.The College is not always concerned with our individual welfare. Let's

be concerned with our own.

Trust, not rules

The fundamental foundation of an Honor System is trust, not rules andregulations. The motivation to report an infraction of the Honor Codeshould therefore arise from the students' individual moral responsibilityto this trust, not a legal clause enforced with the threat of punishment.By eliminating the punishment previously imposed on students for not

reporting an infraction of the Honor Code, Connecticut College is taking astep towards increasing, not decreasing, student responsibility. Underthe fink clasue's former status, the responsibility for turning in asuspected violation ultimately lay on an artificial law . With the presentmodification, the responsibility for reproting suspected infractionsultimately rests on the individual student and his own conscience.As adult and rational college students, we are responsible individually

Jor our own morals and actions and need not resort to using an artificiallaw as the basis of our value judgments.Since we are all adults on an equal standing, no student or students

have the authority to act as "big brothers" over other students. Weshould ·therefore refrain from becoming a "police state" as well asrefrain from forcing students to conform to a moral standard which,realistically, some students philosophocally disagree with.As a small, collective sommunity of mature and rational individuals,

we are responsible for actions which affect our fellow students. Thissense of responsibility should arise from sincere concern for each other,not from a superimposed legal obligation such as the fink clause.Instead of getting bogged down with technicalities and legalities, we

must concentrate on upholding the Honor Code itself by developing itsrudamentary foundations of trust and moral responsibility. With thestipulation that students must now personally uphold their individual andcommunity responsibilities by reporting suspected infractions to theJudiciary Board, we endorse the fink clause's new modifications.

used in determining the number ofcopies to be ordered:1. Previous enrollment2. Professor's estimate

If this varies greatly fromprevious enrollemnts, we call theprofessor to ask why. Itmay be dueto enrollment limitation, a better-time slot, change of requirementscomhined with whether or not thecourse is given, or a variety ofother reasons.

3. New course. Often we orderthe professor's estimate for books,used during the first month andfewer number for books used laterwhen we will know the actualnumber of students in the course.4. Number of copies of same title

used in recent semesters. Weexpect some students to borrow orbuy used copies. .Granted that unsold books are a

serious problem, my greaterconcern is to have sufficient booksfor each student. Essentially webase our orders on previousenrollments. However, they do notshow changing trends in studentchoices. The only valid basis fororders should be a well-plannedpre-r egistr atton with summeradjustments allowed. This fall wehave had to reorder approximately100 titles, varying from 2 to 30copies.

Ames deals

"To clarify the College's policy on drugs"

The following is a tape recorded interview with President Oakes Amesconducted Wednesday, September 21.

VOIC;E: What was the purpose andreasoning behind your release lastweek of the letter on the Ad-ministration's drug policy?There are several reasons and

they are 'all related. The first isthat there was an arrest last springright \lear th..~.l'~(Lof the semester,=' when'" there' was no chance forstudents to ask questions or for theadministration to respond.Then there is the fact that the

deans had reviewed the situationwith the housefellows and it justseemed that it would be a good ideafor us to clarify the College's policyon drugs.Yet, it does not represent a

change in the policy. We just feltthat it's a good time to remindpeople that the College's policy hasnot changed.VOICE: Did the timing or thepurpose behind this statementhave anything to do with appeasingeither the New London PoliceDepartment or Federal Narcoticsagents?No ... I don't think any of us

thought of that. After the problemlast spring, and with the questioncoming up with the housefellowsthis fall, we all felt that it was timeto remind people and to try andclarify the policy if there was anyconfusion about it.VOICE: Are housefellows aware ofthe fact that the Administrationexpects them to report cases ofdrug usage?

It is my understanding that if ahousefellow is aware of drug use,then he or she does have theresponsibility. The housefellowsare appointed by the ad-ministration and· therefore havethe responsibility for the well beingof students in the dorms. We givestudents as much responsibility aspossible in governing the way theyare going to live in the dorm.But, there are areas where the

College does feel a responsibilityand that is. why we appointhousefellows. It seems to me thatdrug abuse is one of those areaswhere the College Administrationdefinitely has the responsibility.Therefore, housefellows, if theysuspect students either using harddrugs or sel1ing them, should cometo the deans about it and not keep ita secret.

VOICE: Do you think that this is afair method of reporting drug,usage? For example, ahousefellow might avoid reportinghis friend_ Who are they to, ..I don't know of a fairer way,

frankly. I think when a housefellowaccepts the ~pon"bility, be orshe is also saying that I will be asfair as I know how to be eventhough it may personally be dif-ficult at times, because it may besomebody I know.VOICE: As far as security isconcerned, would they be in-vestigating or reporting cases ofdrug usage?Security would not be going

around actively working asdetectives to find out it there wasdrug abuse on the campus. But if inthe course of their work theybecome aware of it, then they dorave the responsibility to report tothe Administration. It's really thesame kind of responsibility that Isee the housefellows have with nodifference.VOICE: Does the College have thepower to ask narcotics agents toleave the campus?The answer is no. You can't

escort the law. I think that's prettyclear. It we were aware there wereagents on the campus or happen toknow who they were suspecting, itwould be improper for us to warnthese people.VOICE: Who will be deciding on.punishment for drug usage?Really ultimately, that comes up

to the Dean of the College andmight come to me if there werequestions of review of the penalty.VOICE: Do you think that theCollege, in assuming the respon-sibiJ.ity for dea ling with drug cases,is taking the situation into its ownhands and out of the hands ofresponsibility of legal enforcementauthorities?No, I don't think so. I think that

the philosophy of campus gover-nance is that we try to set up ourown system through the JudiciaryBoard primarily and through theAdministration's responsibilities,and that is the way it ought to be.We ought to do our very best as a

community to ensure that thec,ualit-y of the life at the College ishigh and that we are considerate ofeach others' needs. Just because

we're trying to solve the problemsourselves doesn't mean we'reobstructing justice.VOICE: It sometimes seems thatstudentsfeel that their 5.1000 tuitionpays for protection from outsideauthorities on the drug issue. Doyou perceive the administration asproviding this sort of protection?No, the Administration has never

seen itself in that light before. Ifstudents have felt that way aboutit. perhaps it's because we haven'ttalked about our policy andphilosophy on this enough.As I said, we can't protect. It

wouLd be an obstruction of justiceto protect if we knew that agentswere investigating. But I don't seeit as an obstruction of justice to tryto take care of our own, and to tryto manage our own show.VOICE: What about the ad-ministration's levying of punish-ment? In dealing with drugs, this isusually the responsibility of outsideforces.Well, that might be true if

somebody broke or did damage toproperty in a community otherthan the College. That might be acase where the police step in andtake some action and we 'don't dothat here.There again, the Judiciary Board-

determines the penalties ofproperty that is damaged, ex-pensrve doors broken, orsomething to that sort. So decidingon penalties for drug use is not ..'<eonly case in which the Call' • iscarrying through on a respon-sibility which might be in the handsof the police in a different kind ofcommunity.VOICE: Do you considermarijuana a problem for ConnCollege?I see it as the same kind of

problem that alcoholism is.VOICE: Are youiRTavor of thedecriminalization of marijuana?I haven't really given it much

study. It seems to me that alcoholis a drug that can have very seriousaffects if it's used in excess. Fromwhat I know of it, it's just asdangerous a drug as marijuana isand since we don't have drinking asa criminal offense, it doesn't seemto make sense to have marijuanaeither. That doesn't mean we're.not concerned about its use. Weare. --- -VOICE: Are you in favor of thelegalization of marijuana?I really don't know on that. I

think maybe we need to know alittle more than we do about theeff~c{'s Betore we go that far.

Nini Gridley, Branford

"My responsibilty is to work for the administration,establishing a liason with the students. But I am astudent, not the administration, and must act withinmy roles. The college policy can go no further than theFederal Law."

Paul Sanford, Harkness"fn view of the bust on campus last spring, Mr,

Ames' statement to the College Community con-cerning the illegal use of drugs was certainly calledfor. Beyond outlining the college's legal respon-sibilities, this statement falls short of realisticallydealing with the drug issue on campus because it doesnot accept the fact that some illegal use of drugs hasbecome socially acceptable on campus."

David "Watkins, Larrabee

"The replacement of Mr. Ha'ncock is indicative ofthe fact that the administration is on the student'sside. They don't want people getting arrested. TheCampus Safety program this year is solely concernedof the student's health and welfare. Their job is,to helpthe students."

Rindy Regan, Plant"f agree with him to a certain extent. I don't feel

that it's necessary or possible for me to report everyinstance of individuals smoking marijuana. However,as soon as I feel that drug usuage becomesdetrimental to the student and annoying to others, Iwill speak to him. If that does not bring about thenecessary changes then I may be obligated to go to theadministration ... II

Jazz Quartet provides fine entertainmentBy E~ICA PHILLIPS

The Anthony Davis Jazz Quartet, a concert spon-sored and produced by Unity House, appeared at DanaHall on Saturday, September 17,1977.The concert wasan excellent opportunity for botb the community andtbe College to meet and to share an evening of fineentertainment.The Quartet plays creative music in the Afro-

American tradition. The members of the Quartet .Anthony Davis on piano, Ed Blackwell on drums, JayHaggard on vibes, and Mark Helias on bass, haveplayed together for tbree years and have toured inEurope and Canada as well as in tbe United States.Each of the musicians is a skilled improvisor as

became apparent during the performance. Therewere excellent solos by each member of tbe Quartet.Mark Helias has an excellent technique and is able tocreate interesting and beautiful sounds with his bass.Ed Blackwell is a bit older and more prominent thanmost of the members. He has played with major ar-tists such as Ornette Coleman. Don Cherry, andThelonius Monk. His percussive technique is distinc-tive and has influenced other percussionists. JayHaggard is an excellent personality as well as anotable musician.He appears arrogant while playingand this adds an important touch to his performance.In addition to playing the vibraphones, Haggard plays

"the African xylophone and marimbas.Anthony Davis is an excellent

pianist. Unfortunately, tbe pianothat he was asked to play wasnot in tune. Many people in theaudience thought that he wasexecuting a new technique whenhe began to play using the insideof the piano, but tbis was done sothat he could attain a betterpitch.There were times throughout

both sets when the entireaudience seemed to be attunedto the music. This performancemay well be tbe beginning ofmany culturally enrichingevents to be presented to tbecampus and the community byUnity House.

Frisbee-jugBy MICHAEL SITIENFELD

Soaring through the air, it glides toward the ground untilnabbed by a Ilurry of groping hands. Tucked securely undersomeone's arm, it is sale until propelled into the sky again.After sighting a frisbee, jumps, leaps, and tumbles ensue

in a mad effort to retrieve the spinning disc. The victorclutches the object above the heads of his opponents.Groans, moans, and appropriate scatalogicaJ mumblingscan be heard.Under the gulse of ultimate frisbee, the once innocent

game is transformed into organized mayhem. Now thethrows have direction and purpose while the participantsvie for goals.Variations on the game come to mind. Some popular

examples are literary frisbee, a game which tries to answerthe ~uestion. "Did Keats really write 'Ode On a GrecianFrisbee?" and assassination frisbee, a sport which exploresthe role of the frisbee in the death of President Kennedy.As bodies continue to contort and twist to attain the

elusive disc, we honor the frisbee for its liberating, joyouspower.

swaying from side to side, eyes darting back and forth, theskateboarder slithers through the crevices of our campusunobtrusively. .A skateboard expert can do spins and turns ("360's")

easily. For the layman, however, mastering the board is ahard task. Often a novice experiences the frustration of aflying skateboard, followed by a belly-nop on the ground.The skateboard is also a convenient means of travel.

Riding through hallways, carrying the board from class toclass, or- resting it on the dinner table are easily achievedwithout the fuss or trouble of a '71 Camaro complete Wltnfour-barrel carburetor, twin overhead cam, and magwheels.Skateboarding may be likened to an exlstential ex-

perience in which the rider feels a sense of oneness with theground. As the skateboarder swerve. on the pavement, heperceives the contour of the earth.As we watch the skateboarder meander, the value of his

sport is alfirmed. Here is a person who derives bothpleasure and meaning from nature.

"Economics develops an

eloquent thought process"By MARC OFFENHARTZ

The real world looms closer assummer breezes turn to autumnchills. Seniors roam the campusnervously contemplating theirfutures, juniors are amazed - bytheir upper level course loads,sophomores confidently relax inthe "cruisin groove," and fresh-men--fresh people that is. appear tobe comfortable in their new-wor-ld.Calmly weathering this

academic and social tide of con-fusion. Professor Gerald Visgilio ofthe Eccncmfcs Department entershis "fifth season" here at Con-necticut College.In an effort to analyze the

preparedness of a ConnecticutCollege Graduate, I asked "Mr.V." as he is popularly knownaround campus, the followingquestion: How does Economics aspresented here prepare studentsfor life outside New London?"Without deliberation, and in his

usual unabashed style, "V"replied: "Economics develops aneloquent thought process. Thestudy of economics here at Con-iecttcut College will aid thestudent by establishing amethodology by which the benefitsand costs of personal situations canbe evaluated."He continued, "Financial

awareness, coupled with a "least-cost" objective, are the keystoneswhich our program of economicstudy attempts to impress on ourstudents. The analysis of economicchoices is an unconscious processin our society. By focusing thebenefits and costs of dailydecisions in a systematic mannerthe student is better prepared tomake the proper economic decisionfor him-her self."According to "Y," the following

courses would serve to develop thisprocess for students:Microeconomics,Macroeconomics, Statistics,Calculus. Accounting, and Money-Banking. For those interested ingraduate programs of economicstudy this core of courses alsoprovides a "solid foundation" foreconomic analysis. _Unlike other areas of study,

Economics is not always regardedas a "glamorous major," Manystudents dread the prospect ofgraph analysis and statisticalmanipulation or memorization ofeconomic formula, These fearsoften characterize the conception

non-majors hold prior to exposureto courses in economics.Mr. Visgilio attempts to remove

the "horror" from his coursepresentations. A solid combination01 humor and goodnaturednessaltows the "V" to penetrate andstimulate the minds of those whohave had the opportunity 'to ex-perience a semester with him.

The ......nee'd lor improvementwithin the Economics Department.interests Mr. Visgilio. "Therecould and ought to be morebusiness related courses offeredhere." By continually seekingalumni input, "V" identifies theproblems associated with anyeffort to improve his department ..He stated, "Three potential

solutions exist when attempting toincorporate new course study withthe desire for financial prudence.One solution involves a programwhereby faculty members mightbe encouraged to "retrain." Thiswould allow professors to heightentheir understanding in theproposed business related fields ofstudy. Secondly, the emphasis innew areas could be reflected in thehiring process. New blood could beintroduced into the departmentwhich would accomodate the needfor a more in depth program ofstudy. Finally, part-time lecturerscould provide expertise in businessrelated areas of economic study.A graduate of Providence

College and a PhD recipient fromUniversity of Rhode Island, Mr.Visgilio is aware of the tediousexpectations placed on the studentin any economics course. Blessedwith an easy-goiing delivery, "V"has no problems keeping thestudents" interest.A self-proclaimed Saint, "V" is

easily approached for academicaid should the need arise. Firm inhis conviction that the"professional relationship" bet-ween professor and student neednot be based on "fear andloathing" Mr. Visgilio transcendsthis "Twilight Zone" with dignityand respect. -As the real world moves a step

closer it is a reassuring thought toknow that our "Rhode IslandSaint" is available lor seriousdeliberation or 'social banter. The"V" charm and concern for thestudents of Connecticut College isgenuine and should be experiencedbefore one leaves the hallowedgrounds of Connecticut College.

Carter getting softwith the hard stuffBy NOAH SORKIN

One of the most appealingaspects of Jimmy Carter while hewas campaigning for thePresidency of the United Stateswas the hard line he seemed toadopt towards the sale of strate Ricarms. As Bernard Weintraub of theNew York· Times reports," .... Carter assailed previousAdministrations fortheir 'unsavory' and 'dangerous'efforts to sell arms around theworld."As early as May, President

Carter was setting forth proposalsto limit the nuclear arms marketand to severely diminishAmerica's role in the internationaldistribution of strategic weapons.

It is thus all the more un-fortunate to learn of the increasingamount of nuclear weapons which,barring the opposition of Congress,will soon begin to now out from theUnited States and into the world's"hot-spots" .Among the nuclear arms tran-

sactions now under way; a $1.2billion Airborne Warning andcontrols Sytem; a .. generous"supply of F -15 fighter planes toSaudi Arabia; fighter planes andmissles to Chad, Sudan andSomalia.The difference between

proposing limited arms sales andactually achieving this goal hasbeen one of the most pressingproblems of the Carter· Ad-ministration. To deny the Arabrequests for strategic arms wouldcertainly tighten the oil supplycdrl!in1ftd'tlie Ul\1ted "Stlltes fromthe Middle East. Even more hard-hilling is the fact that some 700,000Americans are employed in arms-related jobs; any decrease inin America's stock of nuclear

weapons would certainly havea bad effect on the domestic front,something which Carter obviouslywishes to avoid.And yet, one has to wonder

whether America's increasing rolein the sale of strategic arms can becondoned simply for economicreasons. Nuclear weapons in thisnation alone are enough .of aterror without having to increasethe risk of destruction by spreadingnuclear power around the globe.President Carter has already

broken fresb ground in in-ternational relations by standingfirm in his support of basic humanrights. There is no reason why thistact should not be extended to thesale of nuclear arms; it must bemade cclear to all the nations of theworld that American foreign policybargaining will not include thepossibility of a nation purchasingstrategic weapons.Our society has been confronted

with the existence of nuclearweapons for over thirty years:ever since the end of World War IIwe have been aware of the terribledestruction and suffering whichcome out of nuclear explosions. Butof all the killing-devices evercreated by mankind, nuclearweapons have been taken themmost for granted. We mustawaken to this problem: America'sforeign relations can not carry withthem the promise of increasing thenuclear prowness of other nations ..The complications of nuclear

weapons remains a very urgent-and real issue in the modern world.the United States continues to be ahuge exporter of nuclear arms andthus a direct contributor to thethl'ellt'Of'Bn'infernational tragedy.I can offer no concrete answers toeither American policy makers orthose of foreign nations. I can only'hope that the nuclear arms marketwill not blow up in our faces.

Limits on freedom of speechBy HENRY FRIEDMAN

An interesting situation is oc-curring in Skokie, Illlnois, where agroup of the American NaZI Partywanted to hold a parade. The Naziswere prevented from holding theirmarch by a series of town or-dinances ( passed expressly toprevent the Nazi's rally) and' alsoby a court injuction. The Naziscontend that they deserve the sameright of freedom of speech asother groups and should be allowedexpression of their views throughthe parade. Their defense has beenundertaken by the American CivilLiberties Union, an organizationwhich provides protection of FirstAmendment rjghts and otherconstitutional issues, The ACLUaccepted this case because theyagree that the Nazis have beendenied freedom of speech.The question is not as un-

complicated as it appears. Skokieis heavily populated' with Jews,particularly those with relativeswho were victims of Nazi Ger-many. The. American Nazisprobably selected Skokie as thetarget for their demonstrationbecause of its heavy Jewishpopulation. A relatively clear-cutcase of a group being denied freespeech is clouded by the fact thatthe Nazis are deliberately an-tagonizing a large segment of ~epopulation, not only by theirpresence, but also by wearl!'gmilitary uniforms adorned WIthSwatstikas.All groups of people should ~

allowed to march to espouse their

beliefs. Just as leftists were,wrongly harrassed du~inl! thefifties, rightist groups hke theseNazis should not have their civilliberties violated. The value andusefulness of the First Amendmentis that it should be applieduniformily to all people. If theNazis are stngled out andprevented from expressingthemselves, then perhaps in twentyyears, socialists, communists andother groups will be preventedfrom speaking their minds.However, the Nazis may have

exceeded the boundaries offreedom of speech. The FirstAdmendment does not guaranteepeople the right to deliberatelyantagonize, incite, and degradeothers. When the Nazis cause harmto others, their right to freespeech ends, What makes it sodifficult to form an opinion on this'case is that it is very hard toknow exactly where one person'srights end and the other's areinfringed.The natural reaction to the ACLU

and all of us for that matter, wouldhave been to oppose the Nazis fromthe outset simply because of whothey are. I have tried to evaluatethe case without involving my priorprejudices. Yet excluding allprejudices,""the case does notoverwhelmingly favor the Nazis. Inthe final analysis. f am not at-tempting to provide an answer tothis question. However, I am nottotally convinced (like the ACLU) .that the Nazis deserve a defense oreven complete freedom of speech.

"Four bombs, thank you please."

Clearing my mindBy DAVID CRUTHERS

Well, this will be an attempt toclear my mind of things that havebeen happening during the pastweek, and to resolve events thathave been discussed in THECOLLEGE VOICE in Its lastpublication. It will 'center aroundthree different, but importanttopics.First of all; we are rid of Bert

Lance. According to AssociatedPress, it was just about even in thepolls as to whether Lance shouldo,uit. (37 percent said he could stay,while 35 percent said he shouldleave, with the remainder saying"they don't care," as Floyd Kalberput it on the "Today" show.As of Wednesday, however,

Lance was no longer a member ofthe Carter Administration. In adramatic announcement at hisafternoon press conference, Mr.Carter announced that Lancehimself felt that his effectivenessas Budget Director had beenweakened and that he hadresigned. Lance had his day incourt and cleared his name and hisown mind.The Lance affair was producing

a cloud around the man who ran ona "New Morality" platform lastyear, and made it acceptable to theAmerican people. It tainted Mr.Carter to have this happen, and tolet it go for so long. By not takinginto account how badly this affairwas going to be received by theAmeriean public, it has built upanother example of cronyismaround an American president.This is what Mr. Carter ranagainst, but now hopefully thingswill work out with Lance's sue-ce~sor.

Also in last week's article, Ipredicted the victory of MarioCuomo in the Democratic Mayoralprimary in New York earlier thisweek. I had also said that peoplewho wrote about politics probablywere pulling, secretly, for EdKoch. Well, I admit that I was, too,and am happy to report thatCongressman Koch did comethrough with a victory, and it willnow be a four-man race inNovember. Mr. Koch is thefavorite now, since Democratsoutnumber Republicans by about 5-I, and it will probably be a racebetween Mr. Koch, and StateSenator Roy Goodman, theRepublican candidate. Mr. Cuomois still on the ballot, as an In-dependent and a Liberal, andBarry Farber, the radio per-sonality, is the Conservative Partynominee. Since I have been so

perfect with my predictions so far,f'll now call that as the order offinish in November: Messen.Koch, Goodman, Cuomo andFarber. It will be interesting to seehow Sen. Goodman andCongressman Koch square off inany debate that will assurediycome off. They are both men ofliberal backgrounds, and it will bethe question of the city's fiscalpolicies that will be the key to whowins the final battle. That doesseem to be what's on everyone'smind in New York now.In.BoSton, however, the populace

there has much more to worryabout. The Red Sox are still apennant contender, as of thiswriting, and it's coming down tothe final two weeks of the season,and they have not one, but twoclubs to beat. They are, of course,the Orioles and the dreadedYankees. The Yankees have beenawesome recently, and it reallyseemed, for a while, that they hadto win a quota of about fifteengames before they were allowed tolose one. The Red Sox, on the otherhand, have been riding their usualroller coaster all season long,winning ten straight, and thenlosing nine in a row. That's hap-pened all year, and It will notchange in the future unless arevolution takes place during thewinter.What might that revolution be,

you ask? Well, the Bostons needtwo or three decent and goodstarting pitchers that can becounted on to win about forty tofifty games between them. They donot have that now, and will not aslong as they keep looking formuscle for the bat, rather than themound. Bill Campbell, who startedout the pre-season as the mostimportant thing to happen toBoston since the baked bean,promptly showed his talent bylosing the first three games he, showed his face in. He has comearound, and has made his $1.1million contract worth it. But hesits in the bullpen, where men waitlike starving animals for theirchance to come charging out andpick their opponents bodies clean.There is no one, now, in the startinglineup that has consistently proventhat they are a reliable startingpitcher, and that's what the RedSox need so that, when it comesdown to the end of the season nextyear, they don't have to sweat overwhether or not they will win byhaif-a-game, or by a comfortablemargin.Well, that clears my mind. You

knew that I'd save the most im-portant issue for last, though.

Fewer teams will mean better play

By T,J. RYAN .AND JORDANTRACHTENBERG-

It's Fall. At Connecticut Collegethe fall represents much more thanthe arrival of a new crop of girls.The fall marks the kickoff of a newyear of intramural sports. Themost significant of these sports isflag football. Its purpose is not toserve as a medium by which thepretty boys and pseudo-jocks mayglorify one another. The institutionof flag football serves as a catalystin forming important relationshipsthroughout the college community.This intramural sport quickly

initiates a comaraderie andcohesiveness throughout the dormwhich otherwise may be difficult toattain. This unity within the dormsis a great strength to the league asthe dorms provide the fans. As weall know the performance of a teamis directly related to the amount ofpositive vocal fan interest.As a result of the increase in

dorm mergers this season, eachteam WIll have a greater base fromwhich to draw its followers. Fansheading towards the David MervesMemorial field may find itnecessary to bring along a pair ofbinoculars as this years action hasbeen moved to :Fitzmaurice Parkbetween Freeman and Cummings

THE COLLEGE VOICE, SEPTEMBER 23, 1977

The Blue.

Gristly musical form needs more exposureof the music and dance in a veryuninhibited manner. You too willprobably find yourself doing theswing to the Blues. The real treatcomes when Big Joe Turner, one ofthe fathers of the Blues, joins thejam. About once a month hewill sing and play with Roomfull ofBlues backing him up. Joe Tumerlooks the Blues: why do you thinkthey call him Big Joe? He weightabout 300 pounds and closelyresembles a black whale. Joe'svoice is strong and pleasing. Hislaments are moaned to theaudience. The ThiD.I That I UledTo Do, his latest album on PololoRecords, showcases his talentswell. The songs flow easily into oneanother thanks to the excellentwork of back up musicians. Theguitar wails, the horns moan, andthe piano boogies. The llyrics aretraditionally Blue with titles like,"Jelly,Jelly Blues" (in this tune hesings, "this must be jelly'causejam don't shake like that", andthat is what Blues is allabout), "Hey Little Girl" and"Shake It and Break It". Thegospel roots are evident In hisstyle, while the jazz Influencemakes the music hop. Almostevery song is about a woman thatmistreated Big Joe. The gristle andgrit are deep In the heart of themusic album. The album grabs thelistener and makes him bop to themusic. There ain't no such thing aseasy listening in the Blues. Listento this album and you'll laugh thenext time tthat you hear JamesTaylor sing that the "Blues is just abad dream",

of music. The Blues is a mood. TheBlues is a way of life. The Blues iswretched hearts, evil women.Mississippi prisons, and big cityghettos. You see, the reason is thatthe Blues have a soul of blackness,substantiality and grit.Educate yourself:after all, that

is what you're in college for. Listento something different. Being fromthe White Plains New Yorks andthe Shaker Heights Ohlos of theworld there is not much of a chancefor exposure to this gristly musicalform. Contrarily, the Blues lives onin this area.Many of you may have noticed at

the Southern end of our campus abuilding that sseems to rise out ofthe Thamian fog. Don't be afraid;walk in, because in this building, onthe street level, there is an exten-sive Jazz and Blues collection.These records are just waitingfor somebody ·to Usten tothem. As you explore tthe vault oftreasures you will be able to in-troduce yourself to the masters-B.B. King, Lightening Hopkins,Johnny Lee Hooker, Earl Hooker,Ray Charles, the Spoon, T-Baneand Sonny and Terry. Even thetitles tug on your soul: "Is You'Ever Seen a One-Eyed WomanCry" and "Nobody Loves Me ButMY Mother".Soon you will be craving for

more. You'll want the real thingand you'll want it live. Luckily, the.Blues lives on just twenty minutesfrom this campus in nearbyWesterly, R.I. Every Sunday nighta soulful group called Roomfull isplaying: the listeners become part

Mellow-- that seems to be thekey word on college campusestoday. According to Thorndike-Barnhart, mellow means" soft andfull -flavored from ripeness; sweetand juicy." That pretty welldescribes the smooth, well-lubricated litesytle found on thiscampus. At first this lifestylesounds pleasurable, but actuallyit's quite boring because there is nosubstance, no teeth, no grog and noguts to this way of lite. Where is it

more evident than in the campusmusic--simple beats, 'easy lyrtcs»it's so mellow it slips through ourears effortlessly. We ddon't evenhave to think about what we listento.

Luckily, though, there are stillpeople who spit their music out atus and make us sprawl for thelyrics. They belt their highs andbelch their lows. These arare theBlues masters. The Blues is a style

If you enjoy sitting downto a really great meal every once ina while, Poor Richard's is the placeto do it.The restaurant, modeled after an

The contrastbetween the two tempts onetowards the more rustic at-mosphere of Poor Richards andaway from the commercialharassment of parking lots packedwith housewives driving giantstanonwagons loaded.with kids andgroceries.

however, to see the film. One is theperformance of Anne Bancroft. Asthe District Attorney, sheprosecutes not only for Chris, butfor all women. By trying to destroythe concept of the woman enticingthe man to rape, she, ironically forthis reason, loses the case.The superb performance of

Chris' sister by Mariel Hemingway(Margaux real life sister) gives asecond reason to see the film.
