Vol. LXV No. 2 TRINITY COLLEGE, HARTFORD SEPTEMBER 22, 19H7
Rising CostsForce Room,Board Hike
Rising costs of foods and ser-vices, forced President AlbertC. Jacobs to announce last Junethe College's "reluctant decision"to raise room and board fees.The price hike went into effectthis fall.
In his letter to parents of stu-dents at the College, the Presi-dent emphasized that the priceincrease is the first rise in boardfees in eight years, and the firstroom rent increase since 1965.
The cost of meals from theSaga Food Service underwent anoverall increase of $25.00 peryear, boosted from $450 to $475for the six-day 18 meal plan, andfrom $520 to $545 for the seven-day 20 meal plan.
Room rent rose from $400 to$450 per year, which is a mon-thly increase from about $44 to$50. Informed of the rental in-crease, one student complainedthat room service was not im-proving and the living quarterswere not getting any bigger. Infact, he noted, the Jarvis roomshave shrunk.
James K. Robertson, treasurerand comptroller of the College,pointed out that the increased boardfees amount to less than onedollar per week and that the roomfees increase amounts to less thantwo dollars weekly. Robertsonconsiders it unnecessary to ex-plain these increases to parentswho. shop in_. supermarkets . andhave observed the rising foodand services costs.
The decision was made, Robert-son disclosed, after administra-tors conducted a survey of schoolssimilar to the College in sizeand caliber. He explained thatthe College -is in the middle ofthe group, charging more thanaverage in some areas, and lessthan average in others,
Summer Institute Confirms'New English' Applicability

High-Rise Dorm PosesParking Predicament
Although President Jacob'splea for a levelling-off in thenumber of student cars seemsto have been answered, Assist-ant Dean of Students LeonardTomat revealed that there willbe a strain on available studentparking space. The high-risedormitory construction has pre-empted student use of the NorthCampus lot,
Tomat also hinted at the pos-sible elimination of parking alongthe city-owned "Rocks" on Sum-mit Street.
The city plans to improve thepark area bordering the road.
According to the assistant dean,there has been ino provision toreplace the lot. He noted thatsuch an Inconvenience would beespecially acute at this stage ofthe College's development butsuggested that increased use ofthe parking .area,,on the northeastcorner of Broad and Vernon Streetsmight alleviate the problem.
A total of 348 cars were reg-istered, this semester as com-pared with 357 during the Christ-mas term last year. Dean Tomatexpects this year's total to ap-proach the 605-car mark postedlast year.
Tomat also pointed out, for thebenefit of recalcitrants, that a

learning," according to Instituteco-chairman James W. Gardner,assistant professor of English.The seven week, high intensitystudy program financed by a spe-cial $65,000 National DefenseEducation Act grant concluded thata scientific basis for teachingEnglish was indeed translatableto primary and secondary schoollevels. Gardner believed that thework of 36 selected participantsprincipally instructed by a highlyqualified three man staff confirm-ed the thesis that "idea could betaught to teachers who could inturn generate significant curri-cula projects."
Paul L. Smith, associate pro-fessor of English at the College,Keith Schap, experimenter inEnglish composition at IndianaUniversity, and James H.Wheatley, assistant professor ofEnglish at Wesleyan, investigatedthe fields of criticism, rhetoric,and linguistics respectively.

Optimism Marks PlansFor Seminar's Future
With a veteran organization andan adequate pocketbook, the Trin-ity Seminar Program confidentlyanticipates success in its "crosscultural" project, predicted di-rector Peter Ehrenberg '69. Theprogram begins its second yearof operations on October 8.
Approximately eighty highschool students will be directedby an undergraduate major in eachclass. This year 10 topics arebeing offered, most of them in amodern context. Included, for ex-ample, are'' Problems Facing Con-
Balloon Society Stages Exhibition;Co-Chairmen Pilot Evening Ascents
WOULD YOU like to buy this beautiful balloon? The BalloonSociety would. ' I ts ranks were inflated considerably at Tues-day's launching.
A red, white and blue 60 foothot-air balloon dominated the nightsky as the Trinity College Bal-loonists Society sponsored a two-hour demonstration on ActivitiesNight, Tuesday.
About 150 freshmen, upper-classmen and faculty witnesseda number of ascents in front ofthe Austin Arts Center. The bal-loon, equipped with a wicker bask-et and illuminated from inside,rose on the end of a tether about70 feet above the upturned facesof the spectators.
A roaring propane flame shotinto the mouth of the balloon asthe co-chairmen of the Society,Peter Stott, '70 and ChristopherLees '70, took turns, to pilot itat the Invitation of the owner,Mr. Charles MacArthur, of Tol-land, Conn. This was their thirdtethered ascent, but neither hadpreviously flown at night.
MacArthur, the fourth licensedcommercial balloonist in the coun-try, is helping the Society publi-cize its campaign to raise the$4000 needed to buy a hot-air bal-loon for the College. When thesociety is 'able to buy one - hope-fully this yea r ' - members willbe encouraged to train for theirF.A.A. Balloon Pilots License andwill fly the Trinity balloon regu-larly.

No tests are given In the weeklysessions, and papers, althoughwillingly accepted, are not manda-tory. The only charge to the highschool pupil is -the cost of histextbooks. That expense will bedefrayed in necessary cases bythe program itself.
Ehrenberg and classmate, Wil-liam Mason '69, organized theseminars last year. They modeledthe program on a similar onewhich had been successful at Yale.The major goals of the programas expressed bv Ehrenberg, areto provide intellectual stimulationfor those involved and to createan, atmosphere in which "the de-finite cultural demarcations thatdivide the greater Hartford com-munity will interact and becomeacquainted with one -another."
College students who participategain as well, notes Ehrenberg.They broaden their own exper-iences through contact with thesecondary students and clarifytheir own . ideas on the subjectthey teach. He also cited the goodpublic relations of such a pro-gram, which received wide cov-erage in the Hartford papers lastyear.
"We've had all the cooperationwe could ask for from the Ad-ministration," stated Ehrenberg.He mentioned the aid given himby Assistant Director of Deve-lopment Robins Wlnslow this sum-mer when the program was seek-ing funds.
With the aid of Winslow, Ehren-berg located and wrote to severalpossible sources of grants. One ofthem, the Aaron and Simon Hol-lander Fund, responded with $350.
Another fund has indicated adesire to help if necessary.
With the additional money, theprogram 'plans expansion later inthe year. A tape recorder will beused to bring material in

department heads, and teachersselected from 400 applicants stud-ied each topic for two week in-tervals. Paralleling the daily threehour morning classes, partici-pants worked on individual curric-ular projects reflecting theircourse work for their own insti-tutions and a group project devel-oping a model system for theintegration of new theories andtechniques from kindergartenthrough 12th grade.
The feasible currlcular plansand the instruction of advancedgraduate study in language,composition, and literature con-stituted the greatest success ofthe Institute, asserted Gardner.Schap's linguistics course, aug-mented by lectures from OwenThomas, innovator of experimentalcourses at Indiana University, andRichard Oman, editor of COLLEGEENGLISH, based its study on thetheory of tranformational gram-mar advanced by Noam Chomskyfifteen years ago. Kenneth Burke'sRHETORIC OF MOTIVES andGRAMMAR OF MOTIVES pro-vided the departure point forWheatley's study of rhetoric.Smith adopted Northrup Frye'smodal theory of literature for hisinvestigation of literary criticism.
The three pronged effort main-tained its internal correlation, tak-ing as its unifying thesis the be-lief that "language is a systematicand. symbolic activity," summar-ized Gardner. Ideas maintaineddirect relation to curricularconcerns and their implicationsfor implimentation into schoolingsystems. On a broader scale,Smith felt the Institute directed .its efforts to changing the con-ceptualization about the languageand teaching of English.
The main problem facing grad-uates of the Institute is the impli-mentation of the newly learnedideas, Gardner pointed out. Par-ticipants will return in March toreport on actual courses that havebeen initiated or efforts that havebeen made to inaugurate a pro-gram. Resistance is often encoun-tered in the forms of school boards,and administrations, parents, andother teachers; special textbooksmust also be approved. Gardnerfelt that the first acceptance wouldprobably come at secondaryschools directly associated withcolleges or universities.
The preparation for the Institute' emerged from the efforts of Gard-ner, Smith and Robert D, Foulke,assistant professor of English, whodeveloped ideas derived in partfrom the material taught in Eng-lish,591, "Ideas in English." Amore specific statement was pre-sented last spring to .the UnitedStates Office of Education apply-ing for the NDEA grant. The a-ward of the grant last fall prornpt-

The Summer Institute may be regarded as a fruit of the EnglishDepartment's foresight in espousing the pivotal theory of literarycriticism of Northrup Frye in 1960 under the incentive .of Mr.Smith and the late Chairman, Frederick L. Gwynn. Mr. Gardner'simmediate initiative last year culminated the progressive inte-gration of Fryian theory into several key courses, including thebasic English major prerequisite.
The opportunity for students to actively participate in theformulation of new theories is a privilege; fortunately, it existsat this .college. Furthermore, the success of this venture hasenhanced the position of the Department of English, as well asthat of the College, in attractiveness to highly qualified profes-sors and students.
Although a definitive evaluation of the Summer Institute mustawait the return of its participants in March for reports upon theimplifiientation of the theories in curricula, the preliminary judg-ment of the Office of Education has been highly complimentary.The commitment initiated by members of the English Departmentand fostered by the College is to be commended, the exampleemulated.

REFORM OR REVOLUTIONby Alan S. Winter
An increasing number of NegroAmericans are convinced that wenow approach the era of the NegroRevolution. Many claim that sucha revolution is necessary as wellas imminent. Should a mass Negrorevolt become reality, devastationof the present social structurecould occur, since the nature of arevolution involves the realiza-tion of a new social order.
Is there a need for a NegroRevolution? The answer is both"yes" and "no". In theory theblack American can enjoy the samerights, privileges, and opportun-ities for happiness that his whiteneighbors do enjoy. In practice,he does not, despite the Consti-tutional safeguards against the in-fringement of human and civilrights,
Idealistically, this country hasno "need" of a black revolution.

With the aidor traditional governmental bur-eaucracy, inefficiency, and waste,the "War on Poverty" managed toendow a part of the power struc-ture and to engender false hopesamong the poor. In his effortto build an image, our Chief Le-gislator has ineffectively carriedout the duties of President.
Perhaps the lack of personalleadership by the President indomestic affairs can explain inpart why we have a lack of per-sonal responsibility of commit-ment on the part of every citi-zen.

Sgt. Pepper as PacesetterNoted by 'Rock? Reception
VHE INTERROGATION becomes intense during the court-mar-tial scene in Joseph Losey's KING AND COUNTRY, the FilmSociety's Sunday presentation.
Film Society to ShowBritish War Feature
In the mud and filth of trenchwarfare during World War II, ashell-shocked young soldier juststarts walking away from the guns.He is inevitably caught, tried bya drumhead court-martial and sen-tenced to be shot for desertion.
In stark outline, that is the storyof Joseph Losey's film KING ANDCOUNTRY, which will be shown bythe Film Society in the GoodwinTheater, Sunday at 8 p.m. Star-ring Tom Courtenay as the reluc-tant soldier and Dirk Bogarde ashis defending officer, this filmis a savage attack on the crueltyof military justice and the ghastlyinhumanity of war. ,
Director Losey uses a stylised..setting_to,show the bleak surround-ings of barbed wire and muck inwhich these soldiers fumble,sweat, curse and "go over thetop." As a pointed contrast againstthis grotesque battle front, Loseyputs tableaux of Home and Nationin an idealised past,
. Tom Courtenay's performanceas Private Hamp won him the best-actor award when KING ANDCOUNTRY was shown at the VeniceFilm Festival in 1964. Leo Mc-Kern and Barry Foster also starin this adaptation of John Wilson'splay "Hamp."
Myhre RecitalSet for Sunday
Milford Myhre, one of Ameri-ca's leading carillonneurs, willplay a recital on the College's 30-bell carillon Sunday afternoon at4:00.
Myhre, who will begin residenceas recitalist at the Bok SingingTower, Lake Wales, Florida, thiswinter, will perform William
. Byrd's "The Bells of London,"Wilhelm Bender's "Suite for Ca-rillon," three folksongs, selectionsfrom the carillon repertory ofJoannes de Gruytters, severalcompositions by Johan Franco,and dances for carillon by JeanW. Miller and Ronald M. Barnes.
A member of the Guild of Car-illonneurs in North America since1953, Myhre began his study ofthe carillon in 1949 with RonaldBarnes, who is presently the car-iUonneur at Washington (D.C.)Cathedral.
After military service, he re-sumed his study of the instru-ment with Staf Nees; director ofthe Royal Carillon School "JefDenyn," Mechelen, Belgium, andwith Professor Percival Price,Carillonneur and Professor ofCampanology, the University ofMichigan, Ann Arbor.
When the film was shown in thiscountry, Eugene Archer wrote inthe New York Times; "KING ANDCOUNTRY is a uncompromisingfilm...those who can take it willfind it a shattering experience."It shows the irony of warfarewithout sentiment or hope.
by Ray McKee(This is the second in a sc-ries of articles on the NeivFront in popular music. DanReilert discussed the Europeanpsychedelic revolution in Tues-day's issue, now Ray McKeetakes a look at Sgt. Pepper'sattack on American folk-rock.)
Over the last few years Rockhas been coming into its own asa musical form. The road to re-spectability started (in America)when MEET THE BEATLES cameout in 1964. Since the Beatleshad gained so much publicity onboth sides of the Atlantic, manypopular reviewers felt compelledto give it at least some spacein their columns.
Probably to their surprise, manyof these reviewers liked what theyheard. Here was a group that wasactually doing something new anddifferent. Their sound was new,they used new chord patterns,and they sang on key in three-part harmony. Few reviewerswould go so far as to say thatthe album was good, but they hadto admit that at least there was po-tential.
The second big phase in the shiftoccurred about a year later whenthe pride of the folk world, BobDylan, discovered how electronics

and folk music could be mixed.Despite accusations of "sellout",all but the most devoted folk-fansconverted rather quickly.
The change became even moreentrenched with the Beatles'RUB-BER SOUL, an album containing;a rather mild form of folk-rock,and later with REVOLVER, a rath-er mild form of psychedelia. Dy-lan released BLONDE ONBLONDE, which, if it proved no-thing else, at least proved that hecould be just as commercial asthe next man.
The clincher occurred on June2, 1967, a date that will alwaysbe remembered by Rock (notethat the 'n' Roll has been lostover the last two years) trivia-philes. On that day SERGEANTPEPPER'S LONELY HEARTSCLUB BAND was released in theUnited States.
The Christian Science Monitorhad never before reviewed a re -cord; they didn't feel that it fittheir image. It is needless topoint out what the first recordwas they reviewed. LIFE and TIMEeach had special articles on it.It was instantly number one onthe best seller list and is stillthere fifteen weeks later.
What is important about thisrecord Is not that it containsanybody's philosophy on life, orthat it is a complete and totalexperience, or even that it isprobably going to be the largestselling record of all time. Re-cords have done that before. Whatis important about this recordis that it has chang-ed the atti-tude of literally millions of pe-ople. People with highly criticalmusical taste in jazz, classical,or folk music have found some-thing likeable and interesting inthis "popular" record.
People are discovering that" good" doesn't have to mean class-ical or jazz or folk. "Good" canalso mean fun, and fun doesn'tnecessarily mean low-brow.
This is not to say that Rock is'better' than any of the otherforms, or even to demonstratethat it can be compared to them.(You can't compare Rock to clas-sical any more than you can com-pare folk to jazz. It depends ul-timately on personal preference.)This summer has proved to bethe time when this point has beenmade evident; so evident in factthat articles about Rock now cantake their place beside film, dra-ma, and literary articles on artspages.

Miller mentioned the disadvan-tages of opening against a teamas tough as Williams (September30, Away) but voiced his hope towin enough games to be able toworry about that Williams openerfor another 35 years.
Both Dan Jessee and Ray Costingwere present at the luncheon.
Cardinal Coach Rusell explainedthat while Wesieyan won the Lit-tle Three with veteran backs lastseason, the team will have to relyon an experienced line instead thisfall. "We will find out which ismore Important," he added.
"Things are going to be better,"prophesized Coast Guard leaderKapral, who lived through ''thelongest year of my life" last fallwhen his team lost eight straight."But everything depends on ourquarterback Ron Sharp, a goodone," he noted..
The Coast Guard running game is
"much better" behind halfbacksTom Lynch and John Bastek, Butthe Cadets took a bad blow In theTrenton practice game and bothstarter halfback Dan McKinley andtackle Vic Guarino are out withtorn ligaments.
Also presenting their- views onthe year were Yale's CarmenCozza, Southern Connecticut'sHarry Shay, Connecticut's JohnToner, Bridgeport's Nick Nico-lau and Central Connecticut's BillLoika.

Bucknell UrgesReconsiderationOf New Ruling
Bucknell University's varsityfootball coach has urged theNCAA Football Rules Committeeto do something about the newcollege punt rule "before moreboys are hurt."
The new rule, which was afactor in the injury of threeof Coach Carroll Huntress's menin a scrimmage with Boston Uni-versity on September 17, forcesthe offense's interior linemen towait at the scrimmage line untilthe ball Is kicked. The ruleleads to more downfield block-ing and, says Huntress, "givesthe defense the legal authority tomaim a person."
Little Ail-American tackle PaulMaczuzak was injured in a legal,but dangerous, blind-side blockand might be out for the season.Three Boston players were side-lined also in the 20-16 BU victory.

With a quick jerk and a grunt the play begins. A spectacularfrenzy explodes in the stands as the Bantam back squeezes foryardage. Things are happening in that moment that might belost eternally to those screaming spectators on the sideline.There is a story...in that play, or the next. In the locker roombefore the game...or after. There are stories about the person-alities, the jokes, the pressure.
But there has to be someone to write them. Someone with aniota of initiative, a spark of wit, some spot of insight. Someoneto do the digging.
The Tripod Sports Staff is extending that opportunity toyou.We need writers...diggers.
Come take a look, Sundays in the Tripod office, Mather Hall(2:00 until 6:00 P.M.). Just tell us you want to write. We'll issueyou a shovel, [twil l be worth it. (or contact Box 1514 or 278-4619)I
