The lobby of rie physics-engineering building was warming with people, including report- rs, photographers, and TV cameramen. Robert T. Beyer, chairman of the physics epartment, surveyed the situation and aid, "It's almost like winning a foot- all game." But the moment had greater signifi- ance and was even rarer than a football ictory. The gathering was to announce T3t Leon F. Cooper (left), a soft-spoken hysicist with a love for modern litera- ire, mod clothes, and French cooking, ad been awarded a Nobel Prize. It was le first time a member of the Brown iculty had been so honored. The 42-year-old Cooper shares this jar's Nobel Prize for physics with Dr. hn Robert Schrieffer of the University f Pennsylvania and Dr. John Bardeen r the University of Illinois. In 1956, lese three men solved a classic riddle in leoretical physics by formulating a leory explaining how a metal, when wered to an extremely low tempera- ire, offers no resistance to the flow of ectricity and, thus, becomes supercon- jctive. A Dutch physicist, Kamerling mnes, discovered the superconductivity lenomenon in 1911, but it remained ir the three American scientists to ex- ain why it should occur. "When the quantum theory of lysics was introduced, it explained most everything — except superconduc- /ity and the super-fluidity of helium," r. Cooper says. "Then when my two lleagues and I completed our work in '56, it was like discovering a brand 'w world." Dr. Cooper is a practical man, and ■ talked easily about the practical ap- ications of such highly complex theory. U present," he says, "enormous lounts of electricity are lost during msmission through power lines be- use of resistance in the wires. If the res can be superconductive, an elec- cal generating plant could be located ywhere." At a champagne party for the Nobel recipient, Professor Cooper and his wife Kay talk with a colleague. Noting that the difficulty would be in the super-refrigeration of the wire. Dr. Cooper added that this would merely be a matter of technology. He feels that in time the superconductivity transmis- sion of electricity could be economically competitive with present-day under- ground means of transmission. "Tech- nology takes care of itself," he added. For those who look upon physicists as rather dull fellows who arrive at the office early in the morning and leave late at night with a briefcase in hand. Dr. Cooper is a revelation. His colleagues know him as a man who enjoys to the fullest his life and his associations. A modish dresser, he savors good living and the successes in his career, is liberal and modern in his attitudes toward so- cial issues, and has a quiet but effective sense of humor. "Whenever tempers get tight here in the department, Leon has a special knack for being able to cool things," Chairman Beyer says. "He's also per- formed the same service at faculty meet- ings, relaxing tensions with his light touch. And relaxing tensions at meetings of the faculty sometimes isn't easy. If Leon keeps this up he may also win a Nobel Peace Prize." Dr. Cooper had an opportunity to show his wit — it might be called early Victor Borge — in the Barus-Holley press conference. A reporter suggested that Dr. Cooper seemed a bit befuddled by all the goings-on. "No," the physicist replied, "it's just my normal manner." Another reporter asked — somewhat melodramatically — if there was anything he planned to do now that he hadn't been able to do before. "Maybe I'll get some new furniture in my office," Dr. Cooper shot back, quickly adding that he was only kidding, that he didn't really need any new furniture. Looking for a human interest angle, still another newsman asked Dr. Cooper if he expected a different relationship with his students now that he had won a Nobel prize. "I certainly don't intend to treat them any better," he replied. In a more serious vein, Dr. Cooper admitted that it was very nice to be recognized. "Many scientists do things of equal or greater significance and don't get this recognition," he said. "In fact, scientists seldom get the publicity they deserve. We normally don't seem to make good copy. Men in my position al- ways have financial problems. Right now, I'm deeply involved in my research, and I would guess that winning the No- bel prize may make it a bit easier to get funds." Dr. Cooper puts the light touch completely behind him when he talks of the demise of government grants. "There can be economic justification for the government to cut back on science grants," he says. "But the way it has come about is irrational and damaging, especially to students already committed to programs. A gradual, scheduled phase- out would have been better. But the wav the reductions were handled is the best way I know to destroy a well-working machine. All I'm suggesting is a little order." A native of New York City, Dr. Cooper received his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia Univer- sity. He served as research associate at the University of Illinois (1955-57) and as assistant professor at Ohio State dur- ing the 1957-58 academic year. Dr. Cooper was brought to Brown that same year by Prof. Arthur Williams, then chairman of the department. Since 1966, he has held the title of Henry Ledyard Goddard University Professor. A man of great charm and some unorthodoxy. Dr. Cooper is sometimes referred to with affectionate facetiousness as the "swinging scientist." His social charm and his brilliant and varied con- versation on a number of subjects in the "other culture" — that of art — have made him a great favorite among faculty and students alike. He has offered two popular courses to bridge the gap between science and the arts. And, at a time when science is under direct attack from many quarters, his colleagues consider this work of cru- cial importance. Dr. Cooper has said that the pur- pose of his two new courses is to intro- duce students not primarily interested in science to topics such as relativity and quantum theory. Drawing on his vast knowledge and love of literature and the arts. Dr. Cooper contrasts the mod- ern and classical theories of such men as Newton, Aristotle, and Euclid with the views of "other culture" members such as Dante, Kafka, Camus, and Becket. Cooper manages to weave his phi- losophy about art into his scientific in- struction. "Art and science," he says, "can be very similar and fundamental. "The artist gives us a method of seeing and hearing and of organizing impres- sions. The same is true of the scientist, who gives us a way of organizing a va- riety of experience. The techniques, in- terests, and personalities of the artist and the scientist may be different, but they both give us the same thing — a part of their mental world." When asked what he planned to do with his third of the approximately $100,000 prize money. Dr. Cooper said that he would use the cash for additional research. He and his wife, Kay, plan to travel to Stockholm in December to ac- cept the award. "I almost feel like the father of the; bride," Chairman Beyer said. Then, | pausing, he added: "No, I feel better than the father of the bride. I don't havi to pay for this." I Brown's news operation gets a new director and a new nam* Brown's Office of Public Informa-' tion has just been renamed the News Bureau, which greatly pleases its newly appointed director, Roger Vaughan '59. "It's a much more workable term," he says. "Public information implies pub- lic relations, and having worked as a journalist for ten years, I am wary of public relations as a trade. And the name change is an important lead to what I hope to do with the office, which is to improve Brown's credibility with the media." Vaughan, who has moderately long! hair and a splendid red moustache, dis- covered his journalistic bent while he was still in grade school. "I dug Red Smith and wanted my own column someday," he says. Youthful publication in Jack and Jill magazine reinforced his writing aspirations. He entered Brown right after high school graduation because that was the way it was done in those days. "I was the kind of student who now would take a year or so off before starting college and would be better for it," he Roger Val^ghan: First priority is to know the faculty. .;ays. Two years of concentrating on s-acing dinghies took their toll in poor grades, and Vaughan was asked to leave Srown for a semester in the middle of -lis junior year. During his involuntary ,eave of absence, he worked with a ski patrol in New Hampshire and played (he piano at night in a ski lodge. The text fall he returned to Brown and nade the dean's list by the end of the /ear. After a stint in the army, Vaughan oined the Saturday Evening Post, where le stayed for four years editing pictures, eporting, and writing. His special field it the Post was science and military af- airs reporting, a job which involved naking technical material — stress test- ing of astronauts, for example — interest- ■ng and understandable to a mass au- lience. Two years before the Post was o fold, Vaughan moved to Life to be- ;:ome youth and education editor. While he was at Life, Vaughan ouched bases with most of the youth ind student upheavals of the late Six- 'ies. He wrote about the first East Coast 'ree university; life on Sunset Strip; the eneration gap in a middle-class town; )D5 "before they started bombing tuildings"; and the 1968 Democratic onvention. He spent two weeks on our with Bob Dylan in Europe. He vrote an article on the 1968 black stu- ient walkout at Brown, which Life lidn't publish. In 1970, Vaughan quit Life and noved to Little Compton, R.I., to work s a free-lance writer, photographer, and ommercial fisherman. Since he returned Rhode Island, Vaughan has reported or Life on the unsuccessful efforts of Jortheast Oil Company to build a refin- ry in the small town of Tiverton, R.I. le has also written two articles for the 'AM, one on the 1970 student strike nd Commencement at Brown (July 970) and one on the alumni college July 1972). As the new director of the News .'Ureau, Vaughan has assigned himself f-ie first priority of getting to know the jaculty. "I look at this place as a bas- lon of expertise," he says, "and I see o reason why that expertise should be onfined to the academic community." jiS an example of what he means, 'aughan cites an incident that happened le first week he was on the job. A local jlevision station called to ask if Brown ad any experts in the economics de- partment who might be able to shed some light on the new monetary-reform policy. Vaughan arranged for two pro- fessors to be interviewed, and they not only were able to explain the basic pol- icy outlines, but they disagreed with each other on the air about the implica- tions of the new policy. The television station loved it. Vaughan believes that the News Bureau should not be confined to report- ing only the sunny-side views of the University. "In times of strife or con- flict on the campus," he says, "I don't intend to sweep it under the rug. I hope to be able to give the media the facts so that bad news doesn't appear in print any better or worse than it is." On the other hand, Vaughan plans to con- tinue the office's occasional fare of "hu- man interest" stories, like the one he recently wrote on Bob Kopelman '75, who won a trip to Loon Mountain on television's "Dating Game." "That was a funny story," he says, "and I'm all for fun." \'aughan lives with his wife, Karen, a photographic stylist, in Little Comp- ton. He has two children, Kim, 12, and Roger, Jr., 11. His menage includes seven cats, a dog, and a horse named Wiggles. A Watson gift sets up a faculty fellowship program In an article called "Don't Sell Pro- fessors Short," written in 1949 for his alma mater's Wesleyan Alumnus, Henry M. Wriston, Brown's eleventh president (1937-55), said this: "We need to recog- nize the professor's strategic, indeed his vital, place in our economy, our society, and our public life, and to proceed ra- tionally . . . and give the teacher what he must have." Seventeen years after his retire- ment, a faculty fellowship program in his name has been initiated at Brown following the receipt of a gift of approx- imately $500,000 from Thomas J. Wat- son, Jr. '37, chairman of the executive committee of IBM. The gift and the formation of the Henry M. Wriston Faculty Fellowship Fund were announced by President Donald F. Hornig, who said that the fund was named for Dr. Wriston at Mr. Watson's request. At the invitation of President Hor- nig, Dr. Wriston participated in defining the terms of the fellowships. His pref- erence was that the funds be earmarked for the recognition of "successful im- provements in educational methods, pur- pose, and materials" by faculty mem- bers. The brief guidelines for the fund suggest that the fellowships be used to provide time and financial subsidies for "the development and implementation of innovations" and "to free time for scholarly work, writing, or travel to observe innovative educational develop- ments elsewhere." It is anticipated that the recipients of the fellowships will "preferably be younger members of the faculty." In commenting on the new fellow- ship program. Dr. Hornig said: "Con- sidering Dr. Wriston 's long-standing in- terest in educational innovation and ex- perimentation and his own efforts in these areas at Brown, it is most appro- priate that the fund be named for him. Much of the innovative work in teach- ing falls on the shoulders of the younger faculty, and we are most pleased to have a means to reward them." During his long and illustrious career as an educator, Henry Wriston spent considerable thought on the na- ture of faculties. He often said that the gathering and maintenance of a superior faculty was the greatest, and most re- warding, task of a college president. In his book, The Nature of a Lib- eral College, a collection of essays pub- lished in 1937 as he was leaving the presidency of Lawrence College, Wris- ton wrote: "Refreshment is a significant word for teaching, and travel is one of the best methods of renewing the teacher. A college can make no more rewarding investment than the encour- agement of its staff members to move about — with sufficient leisure so they will gain something of significant in- sight." Faculty reaction to the announce- ment of the new fund was enthusiastic. Mark Spilka, chairman of the English department, who has proposed designs for mid-sabbatical programs, applauded the Wriston Fellowship, saying: "It should increase the range, quality, and variety of undergraduate courses, and freshman courses in particular. It will also give younger faculty a way to work more freely within the tight tenure sys- tem." Mark Schupack, chairman of the economics department, added these thoughts: "People have long suggested that faculty members should be judged by the excellence of their teaching. But for all our efforts and good intentions, most rewards have been for research. Here is our chance to redress the bal- ance and reward teaching without for- getting research." Thomas Watson, the man who made the Fund possible, joined IBM upon his graduation from Brown in 1937. He became president in 1952, chief executive officer in 1956, and chair- man of the board in 1961. He was elected a trustee of Brown in 1948 and served in that capacity for 20 years. He was elected to the Board of Fellows in 1968. President Hornig said that the gift from Watson was subject to matching funds and that the Wriston Fund would not become operational until that was accomplished. He added that a start toward matching the gift had already been made and expressed hope that the program could commence in the fall of 1973. Four faculty and six staff members retire Four long-time members of the faculty retired this year, and six mem- bers of the administrative staff have re- tired or resigned. The list includes Pro- fessors George K. Anderson, Frances E. Dunn, Richard A. Parker, and Albert J. Salvan; and Frank C. Acker, Hope R. Brothers, Dorothea T. Eslick, Grace Feeney, Bernice Ormsbee Aitken, and Gretchen E. Tonks. Professor Anderson, who has three degrees from Harvard, came to Brown in 1927 as assistant professor of English. He was named associate professor in 1930 and professor in 1947. He served as chairman of the English department from 1950 to 1960. Professor Anderson has written several books and has collabo- rated on numerous others. In addition, he contributed some 60 articles on Eng- lish literature and language to pro- fessional journals. In 1945 he was granted a Guggenheim Fellowship for re- search on the legend of the Wandering Jew, a subject he has covered in his writings. A staunch baseball fan. Professor Anderson could usually be seen at Aldrich-Dexter Field watching the Bruins in action. Professor Dunn came to Brown as assistant to the director of educational measurement in 1941. Since 1958 she had been associate professor of edu- cational psychology and director of educational measurement. She was grad- uated from Pembroke in 1938, earned her M.A. from Brown in 1942, and a doc- tor of education degree from Harvard in 1955. Very active in her field. Miss Dunn taught a course on personnel serv- ices in higher education in the doctoral program at Boston College and has served as consultant in the evaluation of guidance services in the Cambridge pub- lic schools. Professor Parker (BAM, Jan. 1972) was brought to Brown in 1949 by Presi- dent Henry M. Wriston to establish the Department of Egyptology. A native of Chicago, he was graduated from Dart- mouth in 1930. He became a research associate at the University of Chicago, where he earned his doctorate in 1938. While on the staff at the University of Chicago, Dr. Parker did considerable field work in Egypt, including an assign- ment as field director of the Epigraphic and Architectural Survey of the Univer- sity's Oriental Institute. A year ago. Dr. Parker was elected a Corresponding Fel- low of the British Academy, the highest accolade given for scholarship in Great Britain. Dr. Parker has written or collab- orated on 12 volumes in his field. He has also served as faculty basketball advisor, as a member of the Athletic Advisory Council, and as the University's faculty liaison with the NCAA. Albert Salvan, professor of French at Brown, is a specialist in French lit- erature of the late 19th and 20th cen- turies. He has also published extensively in his field. A native of France, Professor Salvan holds diplomas from the Univer- sity of Poitiers and the University of Paris. He received a Ph.D. from Colum- bia in 1942. Since coming to Brown in 1939, he has been active in many pro- fessional organizations, serving as presi- dent of the Rhode Island chapter and a director of the New England Modern Language Association and as president of the Providence Chapter of the Alli- ance Francaise. Frank Acker, Captain, U.S. Navy (Ret.), has been at Brown since 1964, . first serving as a development officer and as a special assistant to the president and, since 1969, in the office of Uni- versity relations. A native of Peekskill, N.Y., he was graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1932. During World 6 War II, Acker commanded two sub- marines and was decorated by the Secre-j tary of the Navy for action against the enemy. In 1960 he became chief of j staff for the NATO Baltic Command, < which operated a six-nation fleet. He wai deputy director of training for the Cen- , tral Intelligence Agency from 1949 to 1951. Acker is the author of a number of articles in the U.S. Naval Institute Pro- ceedings and in hobby publications. He has an outstanding collection of "dime novels," which have been exhibited in the John D. Rockefeller Library and else-i where around New England. ' Hope Brothers has left Brown to accept a position as director of career counseling at Williams College. She had been director of senior placement at Brown from 1951 to 1971 and assistant director of University placement for the past year. A native of Providence, Mrs. Brothers was graduated from Pembroke in 1944. She is a member of the Eastern College Personnel Officers, serving as that organization's president in 1959-60, Dorothea T. Eslick, a 1929 Pem- broke graduate, came to Brown in May of 1947 as assistant secretary of the Corporation, the position she held upon retirement. During her tenure at Brown she worked under four presidents and one acting president. Grace Feeney spent 23 years at Brown as food supervisor and the person in charge of student personnel at the Refectory. She was known as "Mother Feeney" to thousands of Brown students. I Bernice Ormsbee, who was married on June 3 to James M. Aitken, came to Brown in 1946 as personnel records sec- retary to the vice-president and business manager. Later she became administra- tive assistant to Vice-President F. Morris Cochran. Since 1968, Miss Ormsbee has been personnel supervisor for records and benefits. Gretchen Tonks became assistant dean for financial aid of Pembroke in 1952, serving in that post until the mer- ger. This past year, she was a University financial aid officer. She received her B.A. and M.A. from Vassar and was headmistress at St. Mary's Hall in San Antonio, Texas, before coming to Brown.

How to avoid a 'ghost town' Sir: Because of the present economic situation, there are many students "who are not poor enough to quaUfy for finan- cial aid and not rich enough to pay Brown tuition without causing family hardship" (BAM, October 1970). The rising cost of living along with the bleak job situation for graduates is keeping a Brown educa- tion out of the reach of countless middle- and working-class applicants. Notwith- standing the unfortunate loss of oppor- tunity to these would-be applicants, Brown University, itself, stands to suffer the greatest loss from this situation, if not soon corrected. It is imperative that Brown not exclude this, or any other, segment of society from her halls. The reason for this imperative lies with the very notion of the function of the university. Noted educator Homer Babbidge (former president of the University of Connecticut) cites that society ultimately controls the university, and that specific- ally society expects the modern university to: 1) Prepare people for jobs, 2) help in- crease the opportunity for equality in a free society, 3) train leaders in all walks of life, 4) prepare future teachers, 5) pro- vide society with new information and ideas through research, 6) perpetuate its culture and heritage, 7) nurture creativity, 8) provide a sanctuary for independent thought and criticism, 9) occupy (and if possible counsel) the young through ad- olescence, 10) develop intellectual skills, 11) help adults maintain their knowledge and skills, and 12) provide professional support to worthy community projects. (From editorial page. The Hartford Times, Vol. CXXXVI, No. 252) Perhaps Dr. Babbidge's points could be condensed into one definition: the mod- ern university is a diversified community of excellence. Not a community of elitists as the ivory towers of old, nor, on the other extreme, a group of technicians be- ing prepared for a job and nothing more. The modern university needs people of outstanding abilities from as wide a social (not just geographic) background as pos- sible to carry on tradition as well as ex- perimentation. Quite often certain segments of so- ciety fail to realize the importance of the notion of community to the university- People who place too much emphasis on the job preparation function would look with horror on the black walkout of 1968, the student strike of 1970, or the Maga- ziiier-Maxwell education reforms. How- ever, to the credit of Brown, the above are all signs of a vitally functioning diversi- fied community. One can agree or disagree with any of these events, but one should not regret their occurrence. Brown's recent success at functioning as a "diversified community of excellence" is misunderstood by a large part of society, as seen by alumni dissatisfaction. How- ever, as the critics begin to realize all of society's demands upon the university, and when they realize that there are at least 12 distinct functions of the univer- sity community, then maybe they will be- gin to show their support. Therefore, Brown University, in the midst of an economic recession on the one hand and harsh criticism on the other, must continue to keep its community di- versified and of high quality. If it means diverting funds from future construction into scholarship monies, then by all means let's do it. What good is a community with nice new facilities if it is slowly becoming a ghost town? EDWARD J. SZYMANOSKI, JR. '71 Manchester, Conn. Her first summer 'in the real world' Sir: My first summer in the "real world" has been frustrating in terms of women's liberation. Teaching kindergarten in a microscopic south Texas town where little girls are punished by zealous teach- ers aides for playing with trucks (and little boys for playing with dolls) is a mild shock to my system. Everyone — from the principal to the janitor to 41 friendly mothers — has tried very hard to convince me either to get married or to be unhappy that I'm not married. When I tire of them, I can listen to radical young teachers, who subscribe to Ms., lay their plans for catch- ing a husband. Discouraging. Through it all, I've kept fond and hope- ful memories of slightly more enlightened attitudes at Brown. I was happy to see the focus on women and on Pembroke in the June issue of BAM. Ah, somewhere at least, women were valued for what they did, not whom they married. False. Today I got my "check-in" form from the Alumnae Office. It allows two lines to describe graduate study — but five lines to describe a wedding. I could add another page to the form, but what bothers me is the implied expectation that readers of BAM will be more interested in the fact of marriage than in what graduates, mar- ried or single, actually do with their lives. If that assumption was once true, I sin- cerely hope the focus will change with my class and those that follow. LYNNE DERUS '72 Crystal City, Texas Brown had an urban studies program almost before anyone noticed According to the 1970 census, 68 percent of the Ameri- , can population live in a "nietropolitan area" — defined as a contiguous urban development with a central city population of 50,000 or more. Yet when Robert C. Wood, president of the University of Massachusetts and an ur- banologist, lectured at Brown last spring, he predicted that the problems of these city dwellers would not be much of an issue in this year's presidential campaign. A former university president, Princeton's Robert F. Go- heen, has also spoken out about the urban crisis. "Today the city is in serious trouble," he says. "It is beset by eco- nomic and political problems, by short-range planning and cumulative decay, and by social disorganization dis- playing itself in individual and group violence." One after another, government programs aimed at easing urban problems have been found to be less than adequate for accomplishing goals. A recent article in The Neiv York Times reported that there is a growing move- ment in Congress to junk existing housing legislation. Congressman Edward P. Boland of Massachusetts, chair- man of the appropriations subcommittee on housing, is one of the critics of existing programs. "Four years ago, with the passage of the 1968 Housing Act," he said, "we all had high hopes that such legislation would provide the means by which low and moderate income families could be assured of decent, safe, and sanitary housing. Today our best hopes have degenerated into a nightmare of bureaucratic abuse, corruption, and inefficiency. In fact, the subsidized housing programs have turned out to be a bonanza in too many instances for just about everyone except those Congress intended to help." The gap between the intentions and the reality of public programs has a number of causes, only one of which is lack of intelligent planning. According to Benja- min Chinitz, professor of economics at Brown, govern- men^ planning hardly existed as a formal activity before 1960. Now, he says, the situation is changing. "We have to operate on the assumption — though it is perhaps er- roneous — that the application of trained intelligence can achieve progress towards the solution of our social prob- lems — urban and otherwise." While it has become axio- matic that universities cannot cure the problems of soci- ety, they can, Chinitz feels, contribute their resources to educating people in a great variety of fields who can fill positions in government and related institutions. Social scientists can also engage in research that applies their skills to policy questions. During the past several years. Brown has been de- veloping an orientation toward urban studies, both in research and in educational offerings. In a sense, there was an urban program at Brown before anyone really noticed it. "Various departments," says Chinitz, "started picking up people whose specialties were in urban fields- in political science, sociology, history, economics — and those people started teaching urban-oriented courses and talking to each other." Urban studies at Brown was also strengthened by the advent of curriculum reform. "I'm fond of calling that the enabling legislation," says Chinitz. "It brought freedom from traditional disciplinary structures so students could begin to devise concentrations around the problems of the city." Another step toward more urban-related offerings came from the engineering profession. "Engineers, on the whole, have become more sensitive to the social and eco- logical implications of what they do," says Chinitz. In response to that, and because demand for more conven- tional offerings had fallen off, the engineering department at Brown developed a concentration in urban technology. In recognition of all of these almost-unrelated devel- opments. President Hornig established a Committee on Urban Studies in July of 1971. This interdisciplinary com-; mittee, chaired by Professor Chinitz, is charged with initl ating courses in the urban studies field and with counsel- ing students in the development of independent concen- trations. It also serves as a structure for interdisciplinary research projects on urban problems. In the short time the committee has been in existence, it has accomplished a number of goals. It has initiated a seminar to bring together all seniors who have been pur suing urban studies on an individual basis so that they can discuss their respective interests and projects in the Downtown Providence: Professor Leo Kndanoff is studying the changing economic relationship between central cities and their surrouttding metropolitan areas. -5! 15! s e c s a £ fi i = c *!3!!^ar^ P S E E ■ S l.E • 5!! 5 !•!■» C: 1 II urn ^' I Is a.;.. if^ !■ IL ys^i ^^iprapinn i.'iri 1 1 rf rf w. ,,, ^tSSttGESSSSS HUBJf *i«aai:* T IT rsr% o^m»!Vig'^mmm«^*^-mi&' I presence of members of the committee and other inter- ested members of the facuhy. The committee is also at work designing an introductory course on the city which will serve as an entry point for all students interested in urban studies. Last spring, the committee sponsored a lecture series called "Campaign '72: The Urban Issues," which included speeches by Senator Fred Harris and Rhody A. McCoy, a key figure in the New York City school decentralization controversy. The lecture series, according to Professor Chinitz, was just the tip of the iceberg. "We had a whole parade of people, including local mayors and planners, trooping through here for more informal sessions." Apart from their regular teaching responsibilities, six members of the committee have joined together to teach a course in the Extension Division called "Urban America: Problems and Perspectives." Professor Chinitz has a list of reasons why he thinks the time was right for Brown to enter the urban studies field. "Students are searching for new patterns of con- centration," he says, "and there is an increasing demand from the government for skilled people in urban fields. The community is pressing the University to turn its expertise to social issues, and students increasingly want to interact with the community during their academic career. Also," Chintz adds, "the University is suffering a decline in support for the conventional single discipline piograms and research and so is reaching out for new ways to attract funds." Closely tied to the Urban Studies Committee, and with many of the same members, is a loosely-organized, de facto coalition of researchers called the Urban Analysis Group. Both individually and in combination, members of the group have received funding for urban-related re- search. James Vanecko, assistant professor of sociology, has for years been doing large-scale studies of political structures. While he was at the University of Chicago, he carried out an evaluation of community-action programs for the Office of Economic Opportunity. "They wanted me to evaluate what made one community-action program more valuable than another," says Vanecko. "And, as a step toward discovering this, they wanted to evaluate in- stitutional change. For example, what actually made insti- tutions become more responsive to the needs and demands of the poor?" Vanecko limited the institutions he evaluated to pub- lic schools, employers near poverty areas, private social agencies, and neighborhood political organizations. The findings, he says, were striking. "Local poverty pro- grams," he says, "had a choice between a couple of differ- ent basic policy orientations. They could intervene directly with the local service-producing agencies to try and get them to be more responsive to the poor, or they could organize the poor so that they could express their own demands. It turned out that organizing the poor was by far the more effective policy. That was true for more esoteric changes like getting schools to use textbooks tha| contained more black history, and it was also true for ' more concrete changes, like improving the student-teacb' i ratio or increasing the number of poor persons hired." ' ' The political implications of such research are con- siderable. By the time Vanecko's study was completed, there had been a change of administration and a policy shift within OEO so that his findings were precisely the opposite of what the agency wanted to hear. Working as part of a Brown-based research team, Vanecko is planning a study which would be a natural continuation of his work on community action programs He will study the variation among large cities in the U.S. in the incidence of poverty and the conditions in which the poor live, plus the changes in these two factors from 1960 to 1970. "The research," Vanecko explains, "would contribute to our knowledge of how urban systems work and would be helpful for understanding federal-local rela tions." ' I "he purpose of the research is to describe and analyze ^ the variation among cities under the assumption that there are systematic significant differences among cities in the degree to which poverty was reduced from 1960 to| 1970 and that social, economic, and public-policy charaC' teristics which vary from city to city are related to these differences. Between 1960 and 1968, the number of the metro- politan population who were poor declined from 40 mil- lion to 25 million. This reduction was not uniform across all metropolitan areas nor all cities within these metro- politan areas. Some cities did better than others in reduc ing poverty. Or, some cities received more than their "fair share" of poor migrants. The continued shift of the growing population from rural areas to urban places put much more of a burden on some cities than on others. Although it has been argued that cities which tried to do the most for the poor were penalized for their efforts by increased migration of the poor, recent research suggests that this might not be the case. One study has indicated that size of welfare payments and eligibility requirements for welfare are not related to the city's attractiveness to rural poor migrants. According to Vanecko, his research project should "contribute to our understanding of the population dis- tribution processes in our society generally, and especially among the poor. It is focused on an area which is pres- ently neglected: the characteristics of cities which ac- count for their attractiveness to potential poor migrants. It will help in understanding the dimensions of urban poverty and the resulting problems for the central city governments of our metropolitan areas. Hopefully, it will help to inform public policy proposals for a national population distribution policy, 'creative federalism,' and aid to cities." 10 I I Other members of the Urban Analysis Group, in- cluding Professor Chinitz and Physics Professor Leo Ka- anoff, are working on a research program on inner- •ty economic development. They have been awarded 100,000 from the Economic Development Administration EDA) of the Commerce Department to collect and sum- larize information about the nation's urban areas over ne past 20 years and to construct a computer simulation lodel based on the data. The model will be used to test arious proposals for reviving the economy of the inner ity, including revenue sharing, low-cost loans to indus- 1 ries, and federalization of the welfare system. I The EDA is interested in charting the effects of past * ublic programs and assessing the probable effect of fu- ure programs in order to aid them in spending their loney on economic development. Typically, according to 'rofessor Kadanoff, government agencies have looked at nly the direct effects of what they do. But there is almost hvays a whole chain of indirect effects which should also e taken into account in any analysis of a program's ftectiveness. For example, the Federal Housing Authority has been uccessful in enabling many Americans to provide them- ehes with adequate housing through government-backed Dans. But since the emphasis of the program was single imily homes, the by-product was to speed the flight fom the central city to the suburbs. A computer simulation model of a city, consisting of : set of equations which represent what goes on, is a ■romising though yet unproven tool for keeping track of he chain of connections that might result from a particu- ar policy. Professor Kadanoff is careful to point out that he computer model has no mystical abilities to produce ruth with a capital T. "What you get out of it is only as ood as what you put in," he says, "and our knowledge f process is not good enough so that we can make reli- ble assessments yet. However, some assessment of the ide effects has to be made in evaluating a policy instru- ment and the model may be a worthwhile tool, so long as ve retain a balanced judgment about the knowledge and gnorance that go into it." The development of the model is still in the early tai;es and when it is perfected, it could be used to test IV, number of effects. At this point, Kadanoff is particu- 3rly interested in the changing economic relationship be- ween the central city and the surrounding metropolitan rea. "Since 1950," he says, "the inner city has lost both 'opulation and jobs to the suburbs." Citing Providence :; an example, he notes that the population of the city las fallen from 249,000 in 1950 to 179,000 in 1970. The umber of jobs has declined as well, from 148,000 to 25,000. The population of the total metropolitan area, lowever, has increased considerably, from 588,000 to '37,000 in 20 years. The number of jobs has also in- reased over the same period of time. Despite the general acceptance of the need for gov- ernment financial assistance to the central city, Kadanoff says that "there is no general consensus on the appropri- ate level of state and federal support, the form it should take, or the kinds of programs which would offer the greatest promise of solid progress." To try and find the beginnings of an answer to such questions, the urban research team will start to collect data on U.S. cities and their development over the past two decades. Besides statistics on population and employ- ment, the group will document changes in industry, hous- ing, and such government expenditures as Social Security benefits. Aid to Families with Dependent Children, and unemployment compensation. Counting all the variables, the computer model will process 500,000 bits of information. "Among other things," says Professor Chinitz, "we will be developing methods of handling large masses of data. Our basic data will be available in computer tape form so that other people can use it in their work." Professor Chinitz believes that the possibilities of urban research and studies at Brown are considerable. The Urban Studies Committee, he says, is just an interim vehicle, useful until it seems appropriate to establish a full-fledged program or department of urban studies. "That we are able to do what we are doing," he says, "is evidence that the University is able to re-order its priori- ties and encourage inter-disciplinary work." A.B. At work: Professors Chinitz (center) and ! and David O'Hara '73, a member of the i. 11 ,y Joseph J. Loferski rotessor of Engineering While fantastic technological marvels have occurred, JDur cities have been technologically asleep' H ince World War II, much of the world, |J and particularly the United States, ^as been witnessing a technological rev- ilution of unprecedented magnitude. Ex- imples of its effects are evident all round us: I D The jet-powered commercial air- i'lane in service about ten years has lade it possible to travel between Bos- 3n and San Francisco in four hours in- tead of the four days required by trans- iontinental trains of the early 1940's. D Because of communications satel- tes (in service about five years), events ccurring in Peking and Vietnam are dis- layed on television screens in our living Doms at the time they are actually hap- ening. In the early 1940's we would ave had to wait a few days before the lotion picture newsreel films appeared n the screens of our neighborhood leater. D The amount of data handled by amputers is about a million times as reat as what was possible in the pre- jmputer age, thereby giving birth to ur credit card-dependent economy. n The mastery of atomic energy as provided nations with weapons a lillion times more destructive than those reviously available, but it has also made rcessible for peaceful use an amount of lergy a thousand times greater than ihat is available from all the fossil fuels uried in the earth. n Two years ago, man first walked n the moon, culminating a decade of uck Rogers-type exploits in space. While all these fantastic technolog- al miracles were occurring, our cities •terstnte 195 in Providence (left): "hi many lies i/oti can ride to work faster on bicycle than you can in an automobile." have been technologically asleep. To be sure, they too were undergoing rapid change, but much of it has been unde- sirable. It is as though our cities were part of another world, as though they have been marching to a different drum- mer. The city should be the child of the technology of its times. The fact is, however, that our cities have functioned and continue to function on technologies of earlier eras. Our garbage and waste disposal technology, for example, is at about the level developed by the ancient Romans. The automobile, that arch enemy of the city, is a legacy of late Victorian and Edwardian technology car- ried to its logical conclusion. It is ironic that instead of benefit- ing significantly from the technological transformations of these past few dec- ades, our cities have often suffered fur- ther deterioration as a result of these changes. It is often difficult, for instance, to make telephone calls in New York City because the lines are pre-empted by computers exchanging data with each other. Consider some of the effects of tele- vision on city life. I believe one could make a good case that television has played a significant role in generat- ing the drug abuse problem with the in- creased number of crimes against per- sons attributable indirectly to drug abuse. First of all, television advertising taunts the economically-deprived person by showing him an imaginary lifestyle which is beyond his reach (although he does not realize it, such a lifestyle is be- yond the reach of any save the most affluent). Further, it reduces person-to- person encounter; people watching tele- vision don't talk to each other, so how is a parent to know that his son has a problem? Hallucinogens may be an at- tractive way out of these television-gen- crated frustrations. But that's not all: television keeps most people indoors at night, leaving the streets for thieves and robbers to prey on the unfortunate few who need to be outside at night. Perhaps this is a simplistic view of the effects of television, but it is cer- tainly true that television, like any wide- spread technology, has profound and usually unpredicted effects on the people who use it. For example, the fact of television has generated a need for a thorough re-examination of our whole educational system, which is based on the technology of the ancient Greeks — the Socratic method of interaction be- tween the teacher and his pupil. I have heard it said that a child of this televi- sion age has, when he enters the first grade, already spent more hours watch- ing television than the average college student spends studying for a bachelor's degree. It is obvious from these examples that technology is certainly involved in the current problems of our cities. It is, therefore, important to determine how much of the blame for the current state of urban affairs can properly be at- tributed to technology. Why is it that in a period when our technology recorded spectacular successes like communica- tions satellites, jet transportation, atomic reactors, computers, and space explora- tion, this same technology had so little beneficial effect — even a negative effect — on the quality of urban living? I believe that this difference in the effects of technology can be attributed to a difference in the amount and qual- ity of effort expended on planning. Ac- tivities like landing men on the moon have required the invention of new techniques for the planning and control of complex systems; planning has played a central role in such enterprises. By 13 contrast, technologies are traditionally implanted in our communities with a minimum of planning; subsequent com- munity development consists of a blind drifting toward wherever the developing technology leads. No one seems to have the responsibility of exploring the broad ramifications of the technology and of warning the rest of us about the antici- pated undesirable consequences of its adoption. Actually the most decisive question applied to a technology seems to be. Can a profit be made from it? In other words, economic considerations play a determining role in the selection, from among many options, those technologies which shall thrive. This in itself is not undesirable; there is much to be said for the effi- ciency of a free marketplace. However, it is important to determine as accurately as possible the true cost of a technology. Consider, for example, the automobile. Suppose that in 1914, Henry Ford had told the American people that he was offering them a revolutionary technology which had certain undeniably attractive features, but which would in the course of the next 60 years lead directly to the deaths of about two million people and the maiming of tens of millions of others in collisions; which would increase the incidence of deaths from heart attacks by reducing the opportunity for proper exercise; which would destroy our cities by making possible a mass exodus into the countryside which would then be scarred by inefficient land use; which would clog our judicial system with suits and countersuits resulting from damage and injury associated with the automobile; which would require the sacrifice of thousands of square miles of forests and fields for road construction; which would generate such pollution of the atmosphere that cities would at times become uninhabitable; which would consume vast amounts of irre- placeable mineral resources and would burn up in a century all the oil stored in the earth during the previous few hundred million years — what price should have been set on the internal combustion engine automobile, the agent of this technology? Hindsight is, of course, very good indeed and admittedly all of these conse- quences of the automobile were not pre- dictable in 1914, but many of them could have been foreseen if someone had tried. Anyway, we now know the problems generated by this technology and we have known about them for at least 30 years, but we haven't been able to do anything about it except to build more automobiles, destroy more country- side with more roads, and deface our cities with more interchanges. The irony of it all is that in many cities you can now ride to work faster on a bicycle than you can in the automobile which replaced it 60 years ago. Nevertheless, we seem to be hooked on the automobile. We won't get un- hooked until we broaden our perspec- tives. We must first identify the prob- lems which the automobile technology was trying to solve. We must then es- tablish what alternative technological solutions are possible. Next we should try to produce an optimum combination of technologies to solve these problems. Cities or communities should then be planned to encourage the development of these selected technologies. Public policy would be designed to foster this develop- ment by such methods as assessing taxes and penalties. To illustrate some of these points, let us consider yet another technology — energy transformation — which is at the heart of our economic and social system. We use energy in many ways. We need heat in the winter and we have been led to believe that we need air conditioning in the summer. In the United States, we have opted for space heating and cooling. What are some of the alternatives? Well, in England (and indeed in most of the rest of the world outside the U.S.), people solve the heating problem by wearing heavier clothing and sleeping under heavier blankets or quilts. With respect to cooling, we could consider changing the work pattern so that fac- tories and offices are on standby for two months out of the summer, and the work week during the rest of the year is adjusted so that the total time worked during the year is the same as with our present schedule. Another possibility in a large country like the U.S. : we could consider large migrations of population to follow the seasons — go north to work in the summer, south in the winter. I ex- pect that large migrations like these would consume less energy than clima- tizing buildings in both the north and south to make them bearable year round. The reader may object that these are bizarre impractical alternatives to space heating and air conditioning. Con sider then some less drastic solutions. ' Our present building codes commonly specify a certain minimum amount of ] insulation and certain minimum stand- ards on the performance of the furnace installed in a dwelling. These codes re- sult in houses which are sold at a cer- tain price. More insulation and a better- designed furnace would increase the price of the house, but it would also bring about a considerable reduction in the fuel consumed for heating. Over a 20-year period, the total cost of house plus fuel would be the same in either case. The better-insulated house would have consumed less fuel; its more effi- cient furnace would have caused less pollution. Because it needed less fuel, the fuel transportation network would last longer and would use less energy. Our fossil fuel reserves would last longer. Our planners, however, have ' opted for the first route, which is a more wasteful use of irreplaceable nat- ural resources. Consider yet another aspect of this problem. Our current house design does not make use of solar energy, which could contribute a substantial fraction of the heat needed in the winter and the air conditioning needed in the summer. Utilizing solar energy would be living on our energy income rather than on our energy capital which is essentially what fossil fuels are. The tax system — the economic system — would have to be changed substantially to encourage liv- ing off the sun. There is another facet of this en- ergy situation. In the past few decades, we have witnessed a substantial in- crease in electric heating of dwellings; our building codes and economic sys- tem do not discourage this possible tech-: nological answer to the heating problem But look at what is actually happening: electricity is produced by burning a fos- sil fuel and converting the thermal en- ergy of combustion into electrical en- ergy. This process is only about 35 percent efficient, so that the other 65 percent of the thermal energy must be eliminated. This gives rise to the ther- mal pollution problem we have read so much about. It seems far more logical to burn the fuel in a furnace inside the dwelling since most of the thermal 14 'nergy would then be released where it ; needed, rather than having most of it discarded into a river or bay, where it ; at least a nuisance, and may be down- 'ight dangerous. Part of the reason why lectrical heating is economically com- etitive is that our electrical rate struc- ture rewards the big consumer: the more lectricity you use, the less you pay per nit. Bigger is better! It should be the ther way around. In view of these examples, what len is the attitude that the community lanner should have toward technology? irst of all, he should realize that there re many technologies available for the alution of a given community problem. • the problem is transportation, for ex- mple, he should not conjure up an im- ge of an automobile and more roads, erhaps bicycle paths have a place in le solution; or minibusses; or maybe ecentralization to reduce the need for ■avel; or improved communication sys- ;ms which would reduce the need. Secondly, he should realize that ach technology has side effects, many f which can be identified beforehand nd taken into account in planning. If npredicted side effects of a technology egin to manifest themselves, he may eed to adjust plans to include them. Thirdly, he should assume a re- ponsibility in planning beyond the im- lediate needs of his geographic location nd period in history. He should incor- orate into his plans a concern for con- ervation of natural resources, even if ley are the resources of a far-off sheik- om on the Persian Gulf. Fourthly, he should cultivate a eeper knowledge of technology. Some f his best friends should be engineers nd he should encourage these engineer riends to tell him more about the true ossibilities of technology. Don't ask im for the cheapest road from here to nere; ask instead for the best way to ■ransport people from here to there. If ^e planner asks a narrow question, he Jill get a narrow answer. Finally, be confident in the promise f technology. It may be pleasant to ontemplate the technology-less world f a "greening of America," but it is ot practical. Don't blame the ills of our ities on technology. The fault, my dear lanners, lies not in our technology, but 1 ourselves, that we are its underlings. T/ie old and the new in Providence: "Our cities have functioned and continue to function on technologies of earlier eras."

This article is based on a paper he delivered last spring to a meeting on campus of the New England chapter of the American Institute of Planners. 15 The JCBs fascinating old maps There is a fascination in old maps. They are a syn- thesis of art and science, a reflection of our world as it was once perceived, and a cultural record of our fore- fathers' values and concerns. In the twentieth century, an age when information is everywhere available and knowl- edge is taken for granted, it is delightful and almost in- credible that a document such as a map could be imprecise or inaccurate for the simple reason that things — the courses of rivers, the outlines of continents — were once unknown. Almost as inconceivable from the modern vantage point is the degree of imaginative license of earlier cartog- raphers — their great freedom from purely utilitarian con- straints. Today's road maps are certainly not embellished with pictures of grazing cattle or exotic wildlife. Though a modern cartographer could find ample room in the "wide open spaces" of his maps for ornamentation and fanciful digression, he finds no such room in his imagina- tion. The very practical but often mundane maps in use Ih e cover In his Discourse on Establishing a Colony (1717), Sir Robert Montgomery argued that the colonies owed many disappointments "to a want in due pre- caution in their forms of settling, or rather, to their settling without any form at all." Montgomery at- tacked this problem of insufficient urban planning by thoughtfully planning a city, Azilia, to be hewn out of the South Carolina wilderness. His Utopian plan had to be abandoned for financial reasons, but Montgomery's thoughts were to be influential later in the establishment of Savannah and other sys- tematically arranged towns. today are the logical result of a shift of emphasis in map- making which came about in the mid-to-late seventeenth century. Whereas earlier maps had as their task extendingj the limits of the known world (almost half the world was still unexplored or little known in 1700), most maps of the eighteenth century and later deal scientifically with the familiar, providing detailed information to meet the considerable demands of an increasingly complex civiliza- tion. Dating from about 1655 to 1774, the maps and views presented on these pages are in a transitional style. Striv- ing for the best of two worlds, they achieve a relatively high degree of accuracy without sacrificing their aesthetic appeal. The maps are drawn from the John Carter Brown Library's collection, which includes perhaps 10,000 maps,, views, and plans. The library's collection encompasses all of the western hemisphere and extends over about five centuries. A number of early city maps and views from the collection were displayed in a special exhibition at the library in September. C.B Philadelphia Evident in "A Map of Philadelphia and Parts Ad- jacent" (1752) is the eighteenth century trend to- ward precision and a "no-nonsense" style of map- making. A pride in Philadelphia is apparent; and with geographical exactness, a table of distances, and boxes of public statistical data, the map seems almost boastful of the quantity of factual informa- tion it conveys. Paradoxically, in its presentation of the sprawling "parts adjacent," the map also antic- ipates today's eastern seaboard megalopolis, of which Philadelphia is very much a part. 16 r" t\ MAP OF PHILADELPHIA, and PARTS AUJACENl^ O Vnh A TEB.*•«".-. *"r ^^Ui,t.deti4'tto.A:'^3-tfA^':Mf,'m\{'A..t: -3 wr P'l III ipfin Kill 111 -j h-' The Northeast N. V. Visscher's "Novi Belgii" (ca. 1655) is fanciful and elaborate in the tradition of Renaissance maps — a dar- ing rather than tedious undertaking. Where geographical knowledge is scarce, the undaunted artist brings his imagina- tion into play, letting wild animals and frontier stockades camouflage otherwise empty portions of his map. The inset view of Manhattan, garnished with half- nude natives, vegetables, and birds, is also typical of decorative seventeenth century maps. Such views of the coast- line served the dual purposes of aiding navigators and feeding the imaginations of adventurers. 19 Savannah Front and center in Peter Gordon's "A View of Savannah" (1734) is the tent of Savannah's designer, James Oglethorpe. Simple, orderly, and symmetrical, the town resembles conceptually Robert Montgomery's Utopian Azilia and is a forbear of countless American towns and suburban developments which have been conveniently (if inelegantly) ar- ranged similarly. The artist dramatically contrasts the small settlement — an out- post of rationality, tranquility, and se- curity — to the threatening and unfath- omable surrounding wilderness. i J..M,-//,i,r.i ,/,;„,/ „/, ■J.- //.'f>,//,d,'iy,.:, ./7j,r .■...r/u/,„//f,/-. //,// 7 ./7„ /,„/■/,i- iifii/ ' /iit/fi rt/ 1'/ tt'f/tfh // /.'<- .

Whereas the previous maps have been oriented toward adven- ture, orderliness, or information, Re- vere's engraving is denouncing a politi- cal situation and portraying a reality which the American patriot is reluctant to accept. The homes of the colonists appear to huddle near one another for protection as the British ships, flaunting their Union Jacks, loom ominously in the foreground. It is the year following the Boston Tea Party and the year pre- ceding the battles of Lexington and Concord. 22 23 Stuart Sherman spends his workdays among rare books . . Stuart Sherman in his office in the John Hay Custom agents don't have the most exciting job in the world, and anyone who can bring some sunshine into their lives has a right to feel that he has made a contribu- tion. Stuart C. Sherman '39, John Hay Librarian and asso- ciate professor of bibliography, made his contribution last June upon his return from a whaling expedition off the island of Madeira. While inspecting Sherman's luggage, the custom agent discovered samples of whalebone, spermaceti, am- bergris, and two six-foot plates of baleen from the mouth of the Right whale. "Where have you been?" the agent asked. "To Madeira," Sherman replied. "What was the purpose of your trip?" "To go whaling." "Would you mind telling me what you do?" "I'm a rare book librarian." "A rare book librarian on a whaling expedition! You've got to be kidding. Just wait till I go home and tell my wife!" Madeira is one of the few places where whales are still being captured in small, open boats with hand-made harpoons. And Sherman may be one of the last Americans to observe the open-boat sperm whaling in those waters. Four times the size of Nantucket, Madeira is an island of volcanic origin owned by Portugal and located in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa. The great ocean mountain range — which rises to a height of 6,104 feet above sea level — is known as the Rock Garden of the Atlantic because its settlements and farms rise in terraces, covered with a profusion of exotic flowers and trees. In 1965-66 when John Huston produced the film ver- sion of Moby Dick, he took Gregory Peck and the rest of his cast and crew to Madeira for some of the shooting. The island has the look of a 18th century whaling village. Oh, there have been changes. The boats are now powered by gasoline engines, and the whalers use a shore-to-boat radio hook-up. But, if a whaler of 1770 could return to Madeira or the Azores today, he would find the industry quite recognizable. Yet, in a few short years it may all be his- tory. The problem is that the sperm whale provides three valuable materials: spermaceti, used to lubricate ma- chinery; sperm oil, used in lipstick and face creams and to soften leather; and ambergris, used in making expen- sive perfumes. As a result, the sperm whale — which grows to a maximum of 65 feet and weighs up to 60 tons — has been hunted to the point where the births can't keep pace with the annual kills. "The decline in the number of sperm whales will mean a closing of the fisheries in Madeira," Sherman says. "Maybe next year. The whalemen get only nine or ten dollars a week — when they catch a whale. When the whales are scarce, these men earn less than $3 weekly. "With the pay scale this low, it is amazing that the 24 (Tien can be persuaded to go to sea. Perhaps tradition ' The following morning they will be cut ( up and distributed among the whale- I men at the fabrica. The captain sits on the engine i hatch, very disheartened. I can sense his thoughts. For more than 50 days no ■ whales have been taken, and only once ' i before in his experience have the boats ' been out on three separate days without taking a whale. Until recently a single bull sperm was uncommon. He can re- member when there was a school of more than a hundred whales spread out for miles. If they missed one there were others nearby. I We are approaching the western end of Madeira, where the water is very deep and the current is strong and it carries the food of the whale. The captain says the whale is be- coming tired. He cannot stay below more than 20 minutes. He must come up for air. When he does, the chances are good that we will strike. 28 I 5:15 p.m. Suddenly, one of the 'whalemen shouts, "Bios" (Portuguese for "There she blows"). A sperm whale !has surfaced 15 meters from the San ']ose! This is what I came for — the first whale I've ever seen! He surfaces and spouts about ten times, each time arch- ing in a slow, graceful curve exposing about one-third of his back. We are close enough to hear the W-H-O-O-O- 0-S-H of each spout. The whale makes a large circle and at one moment he is headed straight for the San Jose. When he is just below the surface, I notice the "troubled bit of green water" mentioned by Melville. Then he turns slowly, spouts a few more times, then "There goes flukes" as he goes down. He was visible for less ;han three minutes. I watch him so intently while tak- ng pictures that I don't remember Afhat the doctor said to me. I do remem- ber hearing the whalemen on the San lose swearing a blue streak in very ex- ;itable voices. Neither of the whale- 3oats is near us and we are without a .larpoon ! As the men vent their frustration, I ;oncentrate my full attention on the vhale. I recall the quickening of my leartbeat, but there is no sense of fear !ven as he is headed toward us. It was I bull about 15 or 16 meters in length vhich would produce about 60 barrels if oil. The portion of his back that we .aw was chocolate brown in color, with vhite spots — probably the barnacles or Tustacea which customarily are found, •or such a noble beast I am surprised low gracefully and slowly he moves. \lthough I saw many spouts, this was o be the closest view I was to have dur- ng my stay in Madeira. The boats continue to move slowly o the southwest beyond Porto Moniz — till hoping. The doctor says the chances re good that we will catch him. He is ;rowing tired and cannot stay below nuch longer. Furthermore, the most ex- 'erienced harpooner is with us today in 'ne of the whaleboats. I 6:25 and again at 6:40 p.m. The iDokout sees spouts and we race toward . hem, but they disappear. 6:45 p.m. The lookout on top of the cabin stamps on the roof with his bare feet and shouts, "Baleia! Baleia! Baleia! Baleia!" One of the whaleboats is only a quarter of a mile distant and races toward him. The men are stand- ing and the harpoon is poised over the bow. The situation appears almost ideal for a capture. At 15 miles an hour the whaleboat can travel a mile in about four minutes. If the whale stays on the surface for one more minute we may take him. On the San Jose we are tense as we watch the baleeira move closer to the spouts. The captain is silent so that the radio will not interfere with the con- centration of the whalemen. With each spout we respond almost automatically with a shout of "Baleia!" or "Bios." In the whaleboat the harpooner is poised in the bow with his harpoon raised. Then — Nothing. The whale has gone down. Now we must wait for another 60 minutes. Suddenly all is silent except for the sound of the engine in low gear. We say nothing. The expression on the captain's face tells the story. I counted six spouts at about ten- second intervals and I am sure I did not see them all while he was at the surface. But 60 seconds is just too short a time to deploy a boat even half a mile dis- tant. The whale had surfaced astern of us, exactly opposite to where he was ex- pected. We had lined up a series of spouts an hour earlier and assumed that he would surface straight ahead. This, obviously, is not an infallible guide. 7:15 p.m. The captain throws up his hands as if to say, "That's all." But five minutes later the lookout sees spouts again, then flukes. The boats continue to search until 7:35, when the captain finally signals for the boats to approach the launch. He exchanges a few words and with hand motions directs the boats home. With a following sea we all take off at full speed. The whaleboats ride the wave tops as though on a Nantucket sleigh ride. What magnificent boats — so sleek and graceful! I've never seen a boat of its size so long, so narrow, so shallow of draft and yet so fast and so seaworthy. The men are seated far aft, their oil- skins constantly covered with spray. As darkness approaches the night air be- comes chilly and we put on extra sweat- ers. The whalemen have a sandwich, small Madeira bananas, and red wine. The captain and I have bread and cheese. We sit on the after-deck observing the western sky astern. Venus is at its greatest brilliance at minus four magni- tude. Polaris is 32° above the horizon, which is our latitude above the equator. As we head east with the whale- boats following us like ducklings, we watch the lights come on in the towns along the coast. The unpolluted air is crystal-clear. The world seems so un- complicated at sea. I find myself speculating on the whales that we failed to capture. My feelings are mixed. I regret that we failed to complete the cycle of the chase, the capture, and the cutting-in, and am concerned for the whalemen because the whale is so essential to their livelihood. But I am firmly on the side of the whales and their preservation, so I am some- what relieved that they got away. At 8:30, after 13 hours at sea, we arrive back at the mooring. So ends this day. 29 Hugh Smyser Arthur Taylor in his CBS office. ^i Vb^ U^n The former bottle pool player at the Faculty Club who is the new president of CBS Can a former admission olTicer and j bottle pool player at Brown find I happiness as president of the Columbia ! Broadcasting System at age 37? I Arthur R. Taylor '57 is going to find the answer to that question — and others — in the immediate years ahead. | Cn July 12 he was named to succeed ; Charles T. Ireland, Jr., who had died in ' June after serving only eight months as president of CBS. Without ever having taken a busi- ness or finance course and with a very limited knowledge of the broadcasting industry, Taylor has assumed responsi- ' bility for CBS's billion-dollar sports, musical instrument, recording, film, and ; broadcasting enterprise. He will report to William S. Paley, the 71-year-old board chairman, and Dr. Frank Stanton, the vice-chairman, who is 57. The fact that Taylor is a stranger to broadcasting is considered an ad- vantage by Paley, the CBS founder. The company has diversified so ambitiously in recent years that broadcasting con- stituted only 48 percent of its total revenues of $1.2 billion in 1971. Only five years ago, broadcasting constituted b3 percent. Although virtually unknown to broadcasters at the time of his appoint- ment, Taylor in 11 short years had earned a solid reputation for aggressive and innovative approaches to manage- ment. Some of his critics — and he has a few — claim that he has been too ag- gressive. Taylor came to CBS after two years at International Paper Company, where he was a director and member of the executive committee, executive vice- president, and chief financial officer. Be- fore that, he had been a vice-president and director of The First Boston Cor- poration where, as a senior member of the corporate finance department, he was responsible for new business de- velopment. In announcing the surprise selec- tion, Vice-Chairman Stanton said that Taylor was picked because he has "the age and the experience which we felt ideally equipped him for the job. He is the right man at the right time." With all the mid-summer discussion as to why CBS went beyond its own corporate structure and outside the broadcasting industry in selecting a president, very little attention was given to Arthur Taylor's reasons for ac- cepting the position. In characteristic 30 fashion, he gets right to the point. "I took the job because I'm fasci- nated with the field," he says. "I think 'a free, strong communications system is an absolute necessity to the functioning of society. I think it's right at the heart of society, and I want to be a part of it." Taylor brushes off the suggestion that a lack of experience in the broad- casting field will be a handicap to him. He feels that the role of corporation president has been changing with the times. "What has happened is that today the president of a firm such as CBS has to be a man who is concerned with social and political questions," Taylor says. "The president of CBS, for example, can no longer be just an operating head. Those days are past. Corporations feel that they need a broader generalist. To- day, the main problems we face at CBS are finance, the community, and govern- ment. About 80 percent of my normal day will be spent in those three areas." Actually, it's not quite fair to say that Taylor has never been in the broad- casting field. He was in the profession — and doing very nicely — about 20 years ago before he walked out in a huff. During his freshman year at Brown, Taylor joined WBRU and initiated a daily show in which he interviewed campus leaders and politicians on key issues. The subject that had the campus buzzing in 1953-54 was whether or not the University should adopt an honor code. In his daily show, Taylor was do- ing a good job of airing the pros and cons of the issue. "An assistant station manager took great exception to some of the people I \vas interviewing," Taylor says. "He made it clear that he wanted to approve i my interviews in advance. Having been i steeped in freedom of the press since I ' was a boy, I lost my temper and walked out. "That was the end of my broad- casting career until July 12, 1972. All of lathis may suggest that if you want to get to the top you should spend six months in your chosen field, quit for 18 years, and then make a comeback!" I Arthur Taylor hasn't had to make many comebacks in his first 37 years. But his journey through life has in- cluded some interesting routes. Born in Rahway, N.J., on July 6, 1935, Taylor ■ describes the community in which he grew up as a blue-collar environment in which "people on your block feel close together — a very warm place." He at- tended Rahway public schools, gradu- ating from the high school in 1953. Taylor first showed his tremendous drive for success during his high school years. He said that he was going to con- duct the all-state orchestra, and he did. He decided to go after the state oratory contest, and he won it. When the senior class presidency was up for grabs, young Arthur Taylor stuck his nose in the race — and won. Taylor credits a strong academic record, an interest in public speaking, and a love for music as the three things that enabled him to take the rather sub- stantial jump from Rahway High to the Ivy League. "The academic side of life always came easy to me and I always enjoyed it," he says. "I entered public speaking in the fifth grade and began winning at it in the seventh, so I got to travel around with the debating team. This, plus my concert work, threw me in with kids from fancy schools and I got a dif- ferent view of life." One of the biggest decisions of Taylor's young life came when he had to decide which college to attend. He had scholarship offers from Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Duke, and Brown. His final choice was based, he says, on the fact that Brown was not "a terribly glossy school at that time and was a good place for a kid who had done well in a non-competitive high school." During his four years on College Hill, Taylor was one of ten students in his class to participate in a special stud- ies program. He majored in Renaissance history and was graduated in 1957 magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. He also had a list of campus activities a mile long, including participation in the Junior Class Council, Student Court, Orchestra, Sphinx Club, and Sigma Nu fraternity. At this point in his career, Taylor was aiming for the academic life. He re- mained at Brown after graduation as a member of the Admission Office and worked for his master's in American economic history under a pair of the University's most respected historians, James Hedges and Sinclair Armstrong. It was while he worked at Brown that Taylor earned a reputation as a tough competitor in the daily bottle pool games held — usually amid much uproar — in the back room of the Faculty Club. For his master's thesis, Taylor re- searched Samuel Insull, the Chicago utility tycoon who built a giant $5 bil- lion corporation that went under when the bubble burst in 1929. The thesis was accepted with honors and published in the Harvard Business History Review in 1962. It was while researching the thesis that Taylor was first introduced to the world of finance. "Teaching was my first real love, and I had hoped to live the academic life," Taylor recalls. "But I found that the scholarly existence was a little too lonely. I needed more interaction with people. I think I would have been an adequate scholar — just adequate, not the best. So I felt it would be wise to move on to something for which I was better equipped. "Then, too, I think my master's the- sis had some bearing on my change in di- rection from a contemplative campus life to a competitive life on Wall Street. To prepare the thesis I traveled exten- sively and interviewed people in the financial community. I guess I got caught up with the romance of the financial world and the pace at which it moves." In 1961, Taylor joined a group of 14 trainees at The First Boston Corpora- tion, a New York-based investment firm. Almost all of the trainees had gone to business school — and almost all had rich and influential fathers. The young man from Rahway, N.J. — who was later to earn the reputation of being a financial wizard — was the exception. "I had no financial background when I joined First Boston Corpora- tion," he says. I had never taken an ac- counting or business course. Even to- day I can hardly add a column of fig- ures. But, then, no one sidled up to me and said, 'Arthur Taylor, can you add a column of figures?' "And the reason was that there were new problems on Wall Street when 31 I arrived 11 years ago. My role at First Bostor\, and later at International Paper, was to design new courses of action for these firms." By 1962 he was put in the foreign department at First Boston, a position that took him to Japan 16 times. One of the high points in his early career was the work he did on the first Japanese convertible debt offering for Shin Mat- subishi in 1963. According to reports, Taylor and his immediate boss, Andrew Overbey, were to meet one afternoon with 60 leading Japanese industrialists. The 26- year-old Taylor got to the meeting on time. His boss, tied up in tricky Japa- nese traffic, did not. After a ten-minute wait, Taylor calmly started the meeting himself. His rise at First Boston was me- teoric. He became assistant vice-pres- ident in 1964 with special responsibility in the underwriting of foreign securities, vice-president of underwriting in 1966, coordinator of new client development in 1968, and a director in 1969, one of the youngest in the history of the firm. Among his other credits at First Boston, Taylor was a principal architect of B. F. Goodrich Company's successful defense against a take-over bid by Northwest Industries. A former colleague at First Boston, quoted by The New York Times, de- scribed Taylor as a "brilliant, restless, fantastically hardworking, hard-bargain- ing, driven sort of a guy, not the type you'd think of as an investment banker; a guy capable of rubbing people the wrong way under pressure, but who usually takes a cool, analytical, even in- tellectual approach to his work." Taylor still feels a close tie to First Boston. "Not only did I learn finance from the ground up," he says, "but I also learned about a way of life where you could be competitive and still be a gentleman. I learned how to pick out a good bottle of wine. I learned what it is like to spend half of your life on a plane, and I learned how to speak Japanese and how to court clients." By the end of the 1960's, Taylor was getting restless at First Boston. All the mountains had been climbed, and he had reached a plateau in his learning curve as far as the bonding industry was concerned. A colleague put it this way: "Art had gone about as far as he could go without waiting quite a while to make the big leap forward. I think he was looking for something a bit more swingy than the kinds of things he had been doing at First Boston." When the offer from International Paper came in 1970, Taylor was in a receptive mood. Change — any change — would have been welcome. He was nurs- ing a broken foot, had come off two years of total travel, had just recovered from an emergency appendectomy, had the flu, and was completely run down. From Taylor's point of view it seemed the appropriate time to leave First Bos- ton and become the chief financial offi- cer of International Paper, one of the largest and most conservative corporate giants in the nation. The two-year association between Ar- thur Taylor and International Paper was beneficial to both parties. IP needed someone to prod it off dead center and Taylor needed a new challenge. It was quite a meeting — comparable to that be- tween Scarlett and Rhett — and when the smoke of battle had cleared each side had changed, IP more than Taylor. As one of those rare creatures in investment banking — a man without the old school tie and without family or starting connections — Taylor was a free spirit in his dealings on Wall Street. He had a vested interest in change. A sign on his desk at IP said it all: "We are not here to do what we have done be- fore." Taylor spent his first ten months at IP reorganizing the financial chain of command and lopping off operations which had become unprofitable and costly. However, his big coup is con- sidered to be his master-minding of $53,300,000 in financing at a bargain 4V4 percent. He did it by using the company's 17 percent share of stock in a smaller company for a debenture issue — and managed to get away with it with- out need of a Securities & Exchange Commission registration. This part of the deal and his ability to avoid normal channels to sell the debentures won him a reputation as an unorthodox operator. Taylor didn't get where he is today by adopting a "don't-rock-the-boat" at- titude. As a result, he has made some enemies along the way and drawn his share of critics. Several of the latter have called him "overly aggressive and too overtly ambitious." Paul Downey, a colleague at First Boston, spoke to this point in a New York Times article: "Obviously, some people are en- vious of Art. He was an awfully young director at First Boston. Then, too, he's quick on his feet and so articulate that when he wants to he can be quite biting verbally. Art doesn't have time for small talk, and he doesn't play games. "One thing is sure. The typical pic- ture of an investment banker Art was not. You think of a stuffed shirt behind a roll-top desk. But that wasn't Art at all. He's a man of action who has a tendency to say what he thinks and say it quickly. "Frankly, Art is a pushy guy, ex- tremely bright and ambitious. But there's something more — a magnetism that makes people very confident of what he says." Taylor's personal reaction to his critics is blunt: "People either like me or they don't." According to a recent story in Cor- porate Financing, Taylor is not without his oddities. His emergency appendec- tomy was an emergency only because he made it so. He was in Japan when he took sick and wasn't about to place himself in a Japanese hospital. So he boarded a plane for New York, his ap- pendix about to rupture. He almost died from that move. His passion for boats can be car- ried to extremes, according to the same article. When showing a potential buyer around the deck of one of his boats in 1970, Taylor fell down the hatch and shattered his heel. In typical Art Taylor fashion, he got up, finished the transac- tion, and then promptly went into shock. When Taylor first joined CBS, one of the most frequently heard comments was that he was terribly young for such a demanding job. The new CBS pres- ident has a pat answer to this charge: "I've been working for a living since I was 12, and my age is the one thing I can't do anything about." Taylor likes to refer to himself as a 37-year-old chief executive who'll be 55 next year. Arthur Taylor's office is on the thirty-fifth floor of the 36-story CBS building on the Avenue of the Americas in New York City. The only ones sit- ting above him are Paley and Stanton. But for his first two weeks on the job, Taylor operated CBS from a New York hospital bed. He was put there by still another boating accident, this time a broken foot incurred while trying to dock his 40-foot yawl at the Larchmont Yacht Club. 32 Taylor operates out of a surpris- .ngly small office, modestly decorated, .assisted by three private secretaries and '1 Girl Friday. Behind his desk, con- :ealed by doors that fold back, are three elevision screens, one on top of the ifher. CBS is in the middle. Taylor caches for the automatic switch that .urns on all three sets at once. There is a momentary snafu and for several sec- .^nds nothing happens. "Just like home," he mutters. But, Arthur Taylor doesn't have luich time to watch television — except tor the news. He's giving his total dedi- cation to taking the best of the inheri- tance of Paley and Stanton and restruc- turing it for another decade. By mid- October he was so enmeshed in his work that he says his past business life has become just a blur. There are things that bother the new CBS president, things he'd like to [tackle. He moves uneasily in his seat when he talks about an issue that is near the top of his priority list — the po- tential danger to freedom of the press in the country today. "I think that there is a trend in this direction," Taylor says. "And it's not a ; partisan issue. The 5-4 Supreme Court I decision saying that newsmen must di- ' \rulge their source of information has brought to a head a situation that has been simmering for some time. And since TV newsmen have never enjoyed the freedom that newspapermen enjoy, I think there is a special reason for the three networks to be concerned. "What I see today is an erosion of journalistic freedom. I'm not opposed to the use of pertinent information secured by journalists being used in grand jury trials, but the Supreme Court decision ■went beyond that. What concerns me equally is that there has been so little outcry from the media itself. The reason [ may be that the media isn't sure how this vital issue sits with the American Lpeople. Just maybe the American people Aren't that concerned. "If this is the case, then maybe the onus is on the networks. Maybe we have to do a better job of telling the story. It's a story I'd love to tell on the college campuses. It should be told louder than ever before." Taylor is fully aware of the recent , charges that the media favors the Dem- ocrats in its reporting. He doesn't com- pletely buy this theory, claiming that the record will show that the media is always tougher on the party in power. He feels that the "ins" have a big ad- vantage over the "outs" in American politics and that the press, sensing this, goes overboard to present the other side of things. But he stoutly claims that the total effect is fair. "On the other hand," Taylor adds, "the guys who tend to go into journal- ism are the type who are likely to feel for people. They are likely to have a liberal point of view. We know this. But at CBS we hope that we breed pros who are big enough to put their per- sonal bias behind them when they are tackling a job. We like to give our jour- nalists swinging room and then trust in their good judgment." Taylor shows a grudging respect for the Pastore Committee and its ef- forts to reduce violence on TV. He notes that CBS has been responsive to cutting down on violence in the early-evening hours, when children are more likely to be stationed in front of the tube. "We have tried to cooperate with Senator Pastore in every way possible," he adds. "Personally, I think it is ques- tionable as to whether or not violence on television is harmful. But we can schedule around it — and we do." Calling himself a non-technically- trained man operating in a highly com- petitive business, Taylor will stoutly de- fend the liberal arts education for a man in his position. "I happen to believe," he says, "that studying the classics, art, history, and English prepares a man as well — if not better — to solve the prob- lems facing big companies such as First Boston and IP than would a financial. technical background." Despite his almost complete dedica- tion to the business world, Arthur Tay- lor has kept his hand in at the educa- tional level. He was recently named to the board of trustees at Bucknell, which is run by his former colleague in Uni- versity Hall, Charles Watts. An average work day for Arthur Taylor starts at about 7:45. Nights when he doesn't have to stay in the city for dinner engagements — and he does have to stay at least twice a week — he's home by 8:30. His briefcase is always with him, and after dinner he'll retire to the den for a few more hours work. Saturday and Sunday mornings he sails. Sunday afternoons and evenings he works. For Taylor, getting out in his 40- foot yawl is a way to shake the cob- webs. Boating has been a long-time hobby. But until recently he had to settle for motor boats. "A yawl is great exercise," he adds. "She has a lot of lines and I end up doing a great deal of pulling and tugging." An obvious question for the current president of CBS is how long he can keep up his busy pace. When does a man start to run out of gas? "You run out of gas when you stop being intrigued with what you are do- ing," Taylor feels. "I don't find my job a burden. For the most part, I get a great deal of pleasure out of it. I never count the hours or the minutes. When it becomes a job, then I guess I'd run out of gas quickly." When Taylor was working in the Brown admission office in 1958, he earned $3,150 a year. Today, his salary is estimated at somewhere near $250,000 annually. But the salary wasn't why Ar- thur Taylor took the job, nor has it solved all of his problems. "I was prob- ably saving a higher percentage of what I earned when I was at $3,150 than I do today," he jokes. In addition to his liberal arts educa- tion, Taylor came away from Brown with something else important — a wife. Marion McFarland was a year be- hind him at Pembroke. They have three daughters, Martha, 10, Anne, 8, and Sarah, 3. Martha was particularly impressed with the fact that Taylor first learned of his appointment as president of CBS on his birthday, July 6. "That was a lovely present," she said. "What will CBS do for you next year. Daddy?" J.B. 33 Brown Sports Written by Jay Barry A weapon Penn couldn't stop There was some skulduggery planned at the football team's training table meal the night before the Penn game. The signs were there. A series of quick glances toward the door of the Chancellor's Dining Room in the Sharpe Refectory gave the plotters away. Then, on someone's cue, the door swung open and in came a student waiter bearing one large birthday cake for Coach Len Jardine. What followed was the usual self-conscious effort to stay on key as some 50 voices joined in a chorus of "Happy Birthday." The musical portion of the program completed, a team spokesman stepped forward. "Cake tonight, coach," he said. "Tomorrow the game ball." The casual observer of this scene couldn't have been faulted if he thought, "Show me." After all, the Brown foot- ball team had gone through the 1971 season without a victory and had ex- tended the losing streak to 11 by win- ning the battle of statistics against Holy Cross and Rhode Island while still man- aging to come out on the short end of the score each time. The all-time losing streak at Brown is 12 straight. You wouldn't have had to go very far on the night of October 6 to get odds on that record of dubious dis- tinction being tied against the Quakers. Penn had used its new offense, the veer, to crush Lafayette, 55-12, and boasted one of the country's finest offensive ends in the person of Don Clune. But this 1972 version of the Brown football team is composed of some very odd young men. Despite the 1971 record, which many of the players had suffered through, and despite the heartbreak of losing those first two when hopes were so high — games that were all but won — the players continued to believe in them- selves. You could sense it the night before the game. The Bruins really thought they had a better football team than Penn. Jimmy the Greek to the contrary (he liked the Quakers by six), they intended to prove their point. They had every in- tention of breaking their losing streak and presenting the game ball to Len Jardine. Twenty-four hours later, Jardine was sitting in his den reflecting on the game. While he talked, he kept spinning something in his hands. It was the game ball, given to him by his players after the Bears blitzed Penn, 28-20. "This was a key game for us," Jardine said. "The players worked so hard, starting last winter, to get in shape for this season. And then they came so close against both Holy Cross and Rhode Island, only to see two more defeats put in the record books. At no point did they quit. But you have to wonder how many weeks in a row young men can keep coming back with their spirits high when the rewards are so few." If Coach Jardine has had his share of critics over the past few years — and the number has grown — at least no one could fault him on his ability to keep up the morale of his coaching staff and his players. Nothing can be tougher when a team is losing week after week. But each Saturday last fall, the Bruins would come roaring on the field as if they had every expectation of winning the game. In seven of the nine outings, it was close — but no cigar. "I'll have to admit that everyone was at rock bottom after we blew a 17-0 halftime lead against URI," Jardine said. "This was our low point. But I knew we were a better team than we were a year ago. I knew this was a good football team, one that should win some games this fall. It was my job to convince the players of this fact in the face of those two tough losses. "One of the reasons I felt we should start winning this year is that we have an excellent sophomore quarterback in Pete Beatrice. This boy is a winner — he never lost a game in either high school or prep school — and he adds a certain dimension to our offense with his speed, passing ability, and leadership. He came along slowly this year, still has a long way to go, but he has the poten- tial to be the best quarterback I've had at Brown." Beatrice came into his own against Penn after an injury had sidelined him for most of the URI game. But only about 5,000 fans braved intermittent rair to see the victory. What they saw was a Brown team assuming the role of su- preme opportunist, turning two fumble recoveries, a blocked punt, and an inter- cepted pass into a 19-7 halftime lead i over the Quakers. ' The Bruins were on the scoreboard after three minutes of play, recovering a Penn fumble at the 23 and scoring on a 34 Tyler Chase gets the hero's treatment after the win over Pentjsylvania. t 16-yard pass from Beatrice to senior flanker Chip Regine. Brown never re- linquished the lead. Early in the second half when Penn closed the gap to 19-14 on a 53-yard pass from Tom Pinto to Clune (Penn's All- American candidate had scored earlier on a 76-yard bomb), some of the rain- ' drenched fans squirmed a bit, remember- ing the team's second-half fate against the Cross and URI. But this Brown team was determined not to lose. The defense shut off the Quaker's running game, holding Penn to 67 yards in 30 rushing attempts. And the offense rolled up close to 200 yards against the visitors, much of it on sweeps by a pair of fine junior halfbacks, Len Cherry and Bruce Watson. Watson had 124 yards for the afternoon. The man leading the blocking on plays to the weak side was quarterback Beatrice. Most of all. Brown came up with a play that Penn couldn't stop — the field goal by Tyler Chase. In a kicking dis- play never before seen at Brown Sta- dium, the 5-10, 150-pounder from Orange, Conn., booted five field goals, breaking one Brown and two Ivy League records and falling one short of a na- tional single-game mark. Actually, Penn outscored Brown three touchdowns to two, thanks to the heroics of Clune, who caught six passes for 200 yards, but the Bears won the game on Chase's kicking. 35 In the first half. Brown had touch- downs from Regine and Watson (18- yard run) and field goals of 20 and 26 yards by Chase, along with an extra point. As Penn tried to play catch-up over the final 30 minutes of the game. Chase (more on him elsewhere in this section) ruined them with three pointers from 40, 32, and 31 yards out. He also missed two long field goal attempts of 49 and 45 yards, with the former boot carrying far enough but just fading left at the cross bar. The Brown record for most field goals in one game had been three, set by the three-time All-American, Bill Sprack- ling, against Yale in 1910. The Ivy League single-game record in statistics that go back to 1956 also was three, a mark shared by three players. The other Ivy record broken by Chase was for most fields goals in a career. His 17 moved him one past Charlie Gogolak of Princeton (1963-65). With Brown leading 28-20 and the final seconds ticking away, many of the students in the slim crowd rushed down on the running track behind the players' bench, some giving the count — nine, eight, seven — and others screaming, "We're number one." This reference was to the fact that since Columbia and Princeton had played to a scoreless tie that afternoon and since no other Ivy games were scheduled, the Bruins with a 1-0 record were, indeed, in first place in the Ivy League. The hold on first place seemed tenuous, at best, but at that point who was going to deny the team and its supporters their moment in the sun. As the game ended, all but two members of the Brown delegation walked off the field. The feet of Len Jardine and Tyler Chase never touched the ground. These two men were given special trans- portation — on the shoulders of the players. Tyler Chase — trouble not being a hero When Tyler Chase was a young boy he had trouble deciding on which sports he wanted to pursue. After his heroics against Penn — five field goals in one game — the 5-10, 150-pounder from Orange, Conn., is glad that he retained football on his Ust. Always a fine athlete. Chase had trouble not being a hero at whatever sport he took up. He tried Pee Wee hockey and ended as the highest scorer in the league. He joined the Little League and set a new home run record for the town. He also was introduced to the world of basketball and golf, with posi- tive results. "I remember sitting down with Ty one day some years back and talking to him about this pre-occupation with sports," says Benjamin Chase '38, his father. "I told him that he was going to have to make some decisions, establish- ing a priority list. There were such things as books in this world, and if he in- tended to go on to college he'd have to have more than a nodding acquaintance with them." By the time Chase entered Hopkins Grammar School, a private secondary school in New Haven, he had drawn a priority list — books, golf, and football, not necessarily in that order. Chase quarterbacked his prep school team for three years, during which time the Hilltoppers had a 14-4 record. The soft-spoken signal caller was known more for his passing than his kicking in those days. He had ten touchdown passes his senior year and 20 for his career. He accounted for 186 points dur- ing his career at Hopkins Grammar, passing for 124 and scoring 62, including two field goals and 18 soccer-style con- versions. The Bruin senior wasn't always an unorthodox kicker. He switched to the soccer-style during his sophomore year in prep school, partly because of the publicity the professionals who kicked that way were getting, but also because he felt he could get more leverage into the ball using the soccer approach. At 120 pounds, a boy needs all the leverage he can get. Despite his prep school achieve- ments, there was no band to meet Tyler Chase when he arrived at Union Station, Providence, in the fall of 1969. And the freshman season wasn't exactly a howl- ing success. The Cubs went 0-6. People did begin to sit up and take notice during his sophomore season. Chase was ten for ten on points after touchdown and made three of five field goal attempts. His 44-yarder at Colum- bia was the key offensive play in Brown's 17-12 victory. As a junior, the mustachioed Chase shattered one Brown record that had stood since 1910, tied another, and came within two yards of breaking a third. His seven field goals broke the single- season mark of six set by Bill Spracklinj^ '12 in 1910. And his ten career field goal: tied the mark set by Sprackling over a ' four-year period. The other record that Chase missed a year ago — and still hasn't broken — is the mark for the longest Brown field goal. Bob Chase '33 (no relation) set the' record with a 45-yarder against Tufts in 1932. On three occasions. Chase has come within one yard of this record. After booting five field goals agains Penn to give the Bruins a 28-20 lead. Coach Len Jardine approached him late in the game to see if he thought he coulc make another three-pointer. The ball was at the Penn 41, which meant that Chase would be kicking from the 4". "It's not exactly a chip shot, coach,' he said. "But I'll give it a try." The ef- fort was long enough but slightly off to j the left. The reference to the chip shot was right in character for Chase, who came to Brown with the reputation as one of the finest young golfers in the East. At age 14, Chase was runner-up in the Connecticut Junior Championships, and in June of 1969 he won the Eastern ' Interscholastic Golf Association Tourna- ment. Until October 7 of this fall — the afternoon of the Penn game — that was ^ the biggest thrill of his life. Yet, he almost didn't get to compete. It seems that the night before the tournament, which was held at the Law- renceville School, Chase and some of his friends were having a frisbee distance contest down the length of their dorm corridor. Even then. Chase was apparently record-conscious. He put a little some- thing extra on his final heave, sending , the frisbee off in majestic flight until it came in contact with the fire alarm box. The alarm went off, dozens of fire trucks arrived at the school, and young Tyler Chase was in the doghouse, at least for a few hours until the matter was smoothet over. _ Chase has been a regular on the I Brown golf team for the past two years. He has represented Brown twice in post- season play and was named to the All- Ivy golf team last spring. la I Goalie Mike Hampden: 'Could be the best in the country' When someone asked Cliff Steven- son how good his new soccer goalie was. 36 he veteran Bruin coach gave a long imile and said, "Well, he could be the jest in the country. If he stays healthy we've got a shot at the Ivy League title." There was no question about Mike -lampden's ability. He shut out Boston Jniversity, 5-0, in the opener, making a lumber of acrobatic saves in the process, -le showed some more good moves in the ■5-1 romp over Tufts. But he didn't stay lealthy. Late in the Tufts game, Hampden vent out of his cage to block a shot on 1 Jumbo who had broken past the Brown lefense and was coming in all alone, -lampden dived on the ball just as a Tufts jlayer kicked. The foot found Hamp- Jen's shoulder rather than the ball, and :he Bruin sophomore was led off the field n obvious pain. A week later, Brown was in a dog ight against Penn, one of the two teams expected to challenge Brown for the Ivy title. (Harvard is the other.) Hampden ivas on the sidelines and Brown lost, 3-1. "Paul Neary played a respectable game as Mike's replacement," Stevenson Isaid. "But our defense let him down a few times. Our backs were getting beat." Hampden, a real chatter-box in the :age, is the type of man who makes '.hings happen on a soccer field. When he's not making spectacular saves, he's directing his fullbacks and wing halves, moving them here and moving them there. There's no doubt that his loss against the Quakers had a bearing on the final outcome. Playing at Miami-Dade Junior Col- lege a year ago, Hampden was named All-American goalie. He's a transfer stu- dent at Brown and will have three years of varsity eligibility. Another junior college transfer, Ferdinand Treusacher, did for the offense what Hampden was able to do for the defense. The All-American from Monroe Community College in Rochester, N.Y., had two goals and an assist against Bos- ton University and followed this with .the hat trick (three goals) and two more assists in the 8-1 rout of Tufts. Over the years. Coach Stevenson has earned the reputation of being one of the finest defensive coaches in the business. This fall, his backs are not quite up to the caliber of past seasons. But if he waves his magic wand with his backs and gets Mike Hampden back in time, the Bruins could still be a factor in the Ivy League race. A new film traces the history of Brown football The sign outside the Avon Theater as the people entered proclaimed "one of the most daring, original, and totally fascinating pictures ever made." But that referred to Slaughterhouse-Five. These particular people were com- ing to see a preview showing of a movie that is not uncommonly daring, but to lovers of Brown football, probably is "totally fascinating." For one thing, dur- ing 53 minutes of running time, the Bears never lose. The film is The Last White Line, a history of Brown football from its in- ception in 1878 to the present. It was produced — in a real labor of love — by Jay Barry '50, associate editor of the BAM, and Wheaton A. Holden '48 and Sam Bishop, professors at Northeastern University. By doing everything them- selves — from digging old shots out of the Brown archives to stretching old film so aging sprockets would fit once again into a projector — the three pro- duced a film for $7,500 which would normally cost about $30,000. The early years are portrayed by the use of photographs, blended to- gether to give the effect of motion. The first movie films available were of the 1916 Rose Bowl. There are several clips of Fritz Pollard in action against Wash- ington State, Brown's opponent in that first Rose Bowl. Excellent footage is available of the Stadium Dedication game with Yale in 1925, including a weaving 30-yard run by Jack Keefer for Brown's touchdown. A special effort was made to find movies of the Brown Iron Men of 1926, the University's only undefeated team. Some 400 feet of the game with Yale were located at the Yale archives, and excerpts from that game are included in the movie. From the 1930's there are films of Coach Tuss McLaughry, Athletic Direc- tor Dr. Marvel, and such stars as Tom and Bill Gilbane, Joe Buonanno, Bob Chase, John McLaughry, Shine Hall, and Tommy Nash. The pre-World War II years are covered by game clips featuring such colorful running backs as Doc Savage and Bob Margarita. The post-war years, with Coach Rip Engle at the helm, were good ones for Brown and many of the great moments of that period are in- cluded. The 1950's, which were basically the Al Kelley years, show Pete Ko- hut. Tommy Thompson, Dave Zuc- coni, Frank Finney, and Paul Choquette, among others, while the early 1960's feature the passing combination of Jim Dunda to John Parry and the all-around brilliance of Bob Hall. The film, which is narrated by Sherman Strickhouser '54, program di- rector at WJAR-TV in Providence, took more than nine months to produce. Fi- nancial support was received from the Brown Football Association, the Brown Club of Rhode Island, and several in- dividual alumni. The movie will be available to Brown Clubs throughout the country, with arrangements made through the Alumni Office at 159 George Street.

St. Armand '65 Planning Your Child's Education By Charles H. Doebler '48 Prentice-Hall, 1971, 284 pages. "/ have lived some thirty years on this planet and I have yet to hear the first syllable of valuable or even earnest ad- vice from my seniors." — Thoreau, Walden, "Economy." Or at least this is how I felt when first reading Charlie Doebler's second book. I felt it taught me little I didn't already know. For that reason, and be- cause I did not like the book's bilious green slipcover, with an embarrassingly fecund Tree of Learning depicted on its cover, I put the book away. When I returned to it, as indeed I had to, having been asked to review it, I put at a distance what I have found to be the occupational hazards (necessities, as well) of admission work — healthy cynicism and a proclivity toward gen- eralization — and read the book again, not through the eyes of an "educator," but through those of the audience for whom the book is really written: lay parents. Planning Your Child's Education is itself a book of gentle cynicism and in- structional generality, as might well be expected from a former director of ad- mission; it also brims with valuable, plain-speaking, good advice for those lost in the maze-like affair of educating a child. As Doebler says at the outset, "No process in this country is undergone so universally with so little understand- ing as education." It is the author's task, therefore, and no small one, to bring understanding; and in this he succeeds admirably. Planning Your Child's Education, as I have intimated, is a book necessarily truistic and generalizing. It is not super- ficial because of this, however. It is, after all, written for an army of devout truists and generalizers called parents. As a relief to their quiet desperation it sets forth the problems and disappoint- ments of guiding offspring through that ritual coming of age, never quite fin- ished, known as Education. To this end the book not only has nursery school through graduate study as its subject, but goes beyond that matrix, intriguingly so, into issues such as the necessity of having a kind of education (a la William Morris) to prepare us all for the con- structive use of increasing leisure which both promises and threatens to be our children's inheritance; offers a long over- due challenge to the idea that college is for everyone; and sets forth convincingly the desirability of deferred entrance to college for many, especially young men. Many of the themes of Doebler's first book. Who Gets Into College and Why, are here, and can be mostly sum- marized as warnings against parental pressures and smothering which refuse a child an acceptance of himself. By way of example, Doebler, in his latest work, points out that "an unwillingness to face the fact that a student is not college ma- terial is the trademark of too many par- ents, and school guidance offices can cite many cases where parental insist- ence has resulted in frustration, despair, and failure." What Doebler urges, then, is parental concern tempered by com- passion, honesty, and a sense of reality. He makes his case convincingly and clearly. On the other hand, for a man who abhors sociological jargon, and who is fond of saying "those who can't teach teach teachers," Doebler skates some pretty thin ice in his first two chapters. He is at his best when writing directly, anecdotally, and teaching by specific ex- ample. His first 50 pages suffer from abstraction; in fact, they would bring nostalgic feelings of classroom claustro- phobia to anyone ever subjected to the horrors of old-fashioned courses in Edu- cational Psychology or Philosophy of Education. A little more meaning and less art were in order here, especially from a man who deplores prose not lucid or structured. But once out of the clutches of Theory, Doebler sets his teeth with hearty appetite into the meat of his subject. (I only wonder through it all how charitable the author is toward teachers as a species; surely, parents would be better off knowing than not knowing that education, like any profes- sion, has its share of gross incompetence. Maybe they'll find that out soon enough; no sense Doebler's scaring them now, I suppose.) Aside from the fact that the open- ing chapters could have been truncated, if not more structured by more readily apparent organizational principles, this ii: a book not only helpful and instructive, : but pleasurable to read. ; A few anachronisms in the book ] must be mentioned, first of which are some outdated references here and there to college draft deferments, now a thing ' of the past. Secondly, there is a state- ment to the effect that transfer from one! college to another is nearly impossible to accomplish; as time goes by, and for strictly economic reasons tied into en- rollment figures, this will be an increas- ingly false judgment, at Brown as well as other colleges. In future editions of Planning Your ' Child's Education, I would certainly like to see a glossary of terms and acronyms i frequently encountered in education (e.g., FLES, SAT, ACT, CEEB, ALM, IQ, PCS, SCAT, ETS, and a host of others). Surely, most parents outside of education are baffled, if not intimidated, by such exotic phrases, and their defini- tion would be fittingly within the con- text of the stated goals of Doebler's book. But these are mere cavilings in light of the fact that Planning Your Child's Education is, overall, a useful work, and ' a forceful and humane attack upon the many forms of sham and destructiveness which compromise the basic integrity of ' family relations, and thereby make failed^ children the best examples of failed par- ' enthood. I would like to think that this i book's greatest accomplishment will be J in how it will help to redefine what aca- demic success really is when viewed in terms of lasting personal growth. ROBERT L.

The Blue Whale By George L. Small '50 Columbia University Press, 248 pages, $9.95. At various times during the last 200 years whaling grounds have been fished out and whalemen have turned to other oceans, but never has man with such 38 reed and avarice systematically hunted ny whale to virtual extinction as has een done to the blue whale in the last ;vv decades. This book is a tragic epitaph of the lue whale — the largest animal that has ver lived on the earth either in modern r geologic times. The blue whale, the largest cetacean lammal, was the last to be hunted be- ause it was too fast for sail or oar- riven whaleboats. Floating factories ac- ompanied by high-speed catcher boats quipped with bomb lances with explo- ive heads were developed. The Antarc- ic Ocean — the greatest whaling ground n the entire history of the industry — lecame in the twentieth century the cen- er of cetological slaughter on a massive cale. The blue whale (Balaenopfera tnus- ulus) is 25 feet long at birth, weighs 50 ons before puberty, and may reach 100 eet in length. Not even Brontosaurus, he giant dinosaur of the Mesozoic Age, vas as large. The blue whales spend the summer nonths in the Antarctic just eating, then ;o hungry for the following eight. Con- eption and birth probably take place n warmer waters outside the Antarctic 3cean. The gestation period is ten to 12 nonths, followed by a lactation period )f about seven months. If every sexually nature female gave birth to one calf, at he most every two years, the blue vhale could not possibly keep up with he annual death rate imposed by man. The 1930-31 whaling season was a urning point in the history of the blue .vhale. It was the season with the largest :atch, when 29,410 whales were taken, "^fter that the population of the whale segan to decline inexorably. In the chap- ter on decimation, the author presents overwhelming measures of proof to document the decline of the blue whale sopulation. Despite the warning of sci- entists, the whaling nations refused to Delieve the significance of facts. In the same year (1931) the Con- vention for the Regulation of Whaling Lwas signed in Geneva. It gave protection 3nly to Right whales, immature whales, and females with calves. Although Great Britain and Norway agreed to ad- here to the restrictions, Germany and lapan refused, so the whale received lit- tle respite. The Washington Conference in 1946 established guidelines for the struc- ture and operation of the International Whaling Commission. The whaling na- tions also agreed that the annual catches in the 1930's had been too high. They agreed to limit the seasonal catch to 16,- 000 blue whale units and to delay the start of the season to January 7. But, according to the author, "better catchers lead to fewer whales and fewer whales lead to a need for better catchers." A whale sanctuary was established in a segment of the Antarctic Ocean where whaling was not permitted. This appeared to be beneficial but it was an area where no great numbers of whales were found anyway. A minimum length requirement of 70 feet for blue whales was also estab- lished, but this was not effective because even the most experienced gunners could not estimate the length of a swimming whale. The requirement should have been 82 feet to give the whale any pro- tection and to permit sexually mature females time to produce at least once. As it was, the whale was legal prey be- fore it had time to reproduce. A final conservation measure was the reduction in the length of the whal- ing season. This is the only concession that provided a small measure of protec- tion for the blue whale. When the International Whaling Commission was established in 1949, there was hope that the pelagic whaling nations could produce a system of regula- tions which would reduce the level of killing and protect all species of whales from over-exploitation. The Commission attempted to enforce various conserva- tion measures, but it failed because of the veto which permitted any nation to be free of controls which it disliked or considered a hardship. Furthermore, there were false reports of catch; whales were taken before and after the whaling season; cows with nursing calves and undersized whales were taken; and there was failure to accept impartial in- spectors. These infractions made the work of the Commission ineffective and accelerated the rate of decline of the whale population. The work of the Commission is summarized each year from 1953 to 1965. In the latter year 15 floating fac- tories and 172 catcher boats killed only 20 blue whales. Professor Small wrote, "The killing stopped but only because the animal was no more. . . . The loss to mankind of the largest whale in the Southern Hemisphere is a tragedy in- volving the destruction of a perpetual source of food for over 12 million hu- man beings." Professor Small closes with the thought that the blue whale was doomed primarily because of the freedom-of-the- seas concept which allows any nation the right to use the resources of the high seas as it desires. Under such a handicap, no treaty could be devised that would be acceptable to all partici- pating nations. Until man accepts some limitation on this concept of the freedom of the seas, no species of marine animal is safe from extermination. George L. Small's account of the blue whale is a brilliant but tragic docu- mentary of the stages in the extinction of a species of animal by man. It is a story punctuated by blindness, greed, and rapaciousness. It is also an account of the failure of the International Whal- ing Commission, an agency whose pur- pose was to establish guidelines for the regulation of the industry. Some of the information in the book was obtained with difficulty because the Soviets pub- lish no information about their whaling fleets, and under secrecy because of the wish of some informants to remain anonymous. The author was an undergraduate at Brown in the Class of 1950 and now is professor of geography at several col- leges of the City University of New York. While doing graduate work at Co- lumbia, he became aware of the plight of the blue whale. It became the subject of his doctoral dissertation, and ulti- mately of this book, which was selected for a National Book Award last spring. Since the publication of this book, I visited the Island of Madeira to observe the remnants of sperm whaling from open boats. The industry there today is minuscule in comparison to the floating factories which have operated in the Antarctic. I also talked with a delegate to the Stockholm conference on the environ- ment, where it was agreed that further whaling of endangered species should be discontinued. So there is a faint hope that the blue whale may be allowed to survive — provided that the whaling na- tions will cooperate. STUART C.

The delegation found the plaques fastened to the wall in the beautiful new recreation building on the shore of Mount Hope Bay. The day's outing also included a tour of the Indian Museum on the Haffenreffer Estate and luncheon at the Sheraton-Islander on Goat Island off Newport. Henry Carpenter and his wife cele- brated their 60th wedding anniversary in June with three of their five children, along with four grandchildren, present at a lunch- eon at the Sweetmeadow Inn.

The 85-year-old Dr. Murphy has been a curator at the museum since 1921 and first worked there as a 19-year- old in 1906. During the program, he joined his tenor voice in "Blow the Man Down" and other songs he had learned on the Antarctic expedition to New Georgia Island aboard the whaling brig, Daisy, in 1912. One of the highlights of the program was the showing of a half-hour film that pleads for a halt to the mechanized killing "orgy" of modern whaling. ** ^ Judge Kenneth L.

Perelman '25 announced the fall of 1970 that he no longer found is country very funny. He was tired of e rat race, he said, "especially since the ts seem to be way ahead." So, Perelman d the only gentlemanly thing he could do '.nder the circumstances: he moved to andon. At that time, Perelman said that the olent, the discordant, and the tacky were taking so much news in the U.S. "that le newspapers from which I derive many t my ideas have scant room for the sort f thing that turns me on — the bizzare, the nusual, the eccentric. In Britain, they still ave the taste for eccentricity." Perelman may have been gone but he asn't forgotten. He still made the head- nes, as in the spring of 1971 when he de- ded to emulate Jules Verne's hero by cir- ing the world in 80 days. He soon reported lat it was infinitely more difficult to cir- le the globe in 80 days today than it was 00 years ago. There were obstacles — in- iuding American female tourists. "Phineas Fogg never had to contend ■ith these blue-haired American ladies ith a southern accent," he said. "My lind boggles at the thought of having to oend 19 days with an entire shipload of -lese creatures." Perelman did admit that the old chest- ut about travel being broadening did have n element of truth to it. "Travel does help D broaden one's prejudices," he said. "And .henever possible I try to broaden my rejudices." Now, the "man without a country" has eturned to his native New York City. And e's somewhat relieved to be back. "English ife, while very pleasant, is rather bland," e says. "I expected kindness and gentility nd I found it. But there is such a thing as 00 much couth. "Their rye bread has no caraway seeds, nd their name for corned beef is salt beef -and it doesn't compare with what you can :et on the Upper West Side or Lower East 'ide." Perelman admits that when he left hese shores two years ago, his appetite or the pleasures of Gotham were sated. He till feels that New York was then — and is oday — a very difficult place to live. But he ationalized his return in an interview with 1 New York Times reporter. "When you first return, the city seems 'ery distressing, and all the things we know •.bout New York are true — the dirt, the dis- irder, the violence. But I find myself adapt- ng: I walk on the balls of my feet at night. "Having been born here I guess I vouldn't want to renounce my birthright. The humorist poses for a photographer in front of his New York City apartment. Perhaps it's necessary to go somewhere else to get a view of one's city. "When I'm away, I miss the tension, the give and take. I feel it's a great mis- take for any writer to cut himself off from his roots. One's work suffers by trying to transplant it to another milieu. "My style is haute melange — a mixture of all the sludge 1 read as a child, all the cliches, the liberal doses of Yiddish, crimi- nal slang, and some of what I was taught in a Providence school by impatient teach- ers. When I tried to think of an idiomatic expression in London, I had to reach for it. I felt out of touch with the idiom." Shortly after his return, Perelman — his batteries obviously recharged — awoke in the middle of the night and "heard the call of the muse." He hopped out of bed in the dark, stumbled toward his typewriter, kicked a rocking chair, and broke a toe. "Next time I'll light the way with flares," he said. JB. 43 Richard S.

NoN the shop's stock of period clothes is low, and Mrs. Larson doesn't plan to replenish it. One of the major tricks of the antique |ig business, she believes, is to stay enough i) ahead of the times to know when to jump \ i out of something. And Mrs. Larson is | enough of a pro so that if she thinks the i i antique clothes boom has had its day, she j •. is probably right. i In the 20 years since Elinor Larson, thcj .i widow of Arvid Larson '23, opened The ; ! Craft Studio, it has become more of an in- i stitution than just an antique shop. Anyontt,, with the slightest interest in the past could spend at least three hours just on a quick browse through the most obvious items. A J real survey of the treasures stored away in| drawers, cupboards, and crannies would probably take a week. There is one drawerl set aside for old paper dolls and valentinesf there are historic deeds and maps, old rail- road material, and political pamphlets. The; shelves are jammed with everything from antique soup ladles to toy banks in the shape of log cabins. To amuse the children who come in with their parents, Mrs. Lar- son keeps an assortment of stamps, arrow- heads, and dolls. Whatever your special fascination, Mr? Larson probably knows as much about it as you do, or can look it up in one of the many reference books she shares with her customers. One recent afternoon in quick succession, she traded technical informatiot with a customer who was doing research on old quilts, a dealer who specialized in glass paperweights, and a customer who collected toy banks. Among those things that attract dealer: from as far away as New York to The Craf Studio are the prices, which are lower than most. Mrs. Larson explains that she seldom buys from other dealers or at auctions so she can afford to keep her prices reason- able. After two decades of establishing a reputation, she can now rely on house calls to stock her shop. She closes up on Mon- day, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and travels around New England visiting people who want to sell off family antiques. 44 p Once, she remembers, a family closed four homes in the period of four ars. "They had good Early American ings," she recalls, "but for the first home, ;y gave everything away to the Salvation my. When they had to close up the sec- J home, someone told them to call me. ley had some beautiful Revolutionary evidence pewter, and 1 tried to get them keep some of it for the grandchildren, t they wanted to get rid of it all. When e woman got the check, she couldn't be- ve that 'that old stuff' in the attic was tually worth a lot of money." When it me time to close up the fourth home, the mily was so interested in what they had at they were taking courses in antiques. Mrs. Larson concedes that early an- jues are getting harder and harder to id, and are therefore more expensive be- use people are more likely to keep things the family. "People will just have to find ings from around 1900 or 1910 to be in- rested in," she says. Values in the antiques market are dis- ictly related to fads, Mrs. Larson says. T example, there is a recent craze in "Dis- nania" that she is distinctly against. "I ppose I can understand their nostalgia [lue," she says, "but I think it's too bad r people to put their money into that nd of 'collectables' when there are real tiques to be had for very little money." ne of the good values to be found right )w, she thinks, is fine old china, which is fallen out of favor with collectors re- '■ntly. As for herself, Mrs. Larson's major in- rest is in old textiles after 1820. Her re- :arch for a book she may write on the ibject of printed cotton has taken her to le Smithsonian Institution and the Victoria ■id Albert Museum in London. "It's a sub- ct that no one knows much about," she lys. "All the mills were closed and the Aratch books were thrown out." A framed fabric sample hanging in Irs. Larson's dining room shows General /illiam Henry Harrison mounted on a Dfse in the foreground and a battle of the lexican War in the background. It was robably originally used, says Mrs. Larson, 3 curtain material. Mrs. Larson, who loves to take bus- fan's holidays and visit other shops, says lat to own a shop, one must "not be eas- y annoyed and must like all kinds of peo- le." The people who visit her shop tend ) come back; among her customers now re young women with babies who orig- xally came in with their mothers. A.B.

He currently is baseball coach for Post 79 of the American Legion, as well as a high school baseball umpire and basketball offi- cial. In commenting on the testimonial, Al Nettel, sports writer for the New Hamp- shire Sunday News, said: "As a rule testi- monials are comparable in boredom to snapshots of the other guy's kids. The ex- ception is this dinner for Nick Gabardina. If there were more Gabardinas in the world, there'd be considerably fewer juvenile de- linquents.

Krawiec ('37 GS), professor of ychology at Skidmore College, has long id the reputation of treating his students ■ individuals, not numbers on an IBM ird. Therefore, it came as no great surprise his peers when he was named one of the \io most outstanding teachers of psychol- i;y in the United States for 1971 by the merican Psychological Association. In announcing its selection, the APA ed Dr. Krawiec's "impressive example of • e teacher-scholar and his contagious en- usiasm for psychology, which has inspired 'nerations of college students." \ Dr. Nicholas Hobbs, president of the ssociation, said further: "Professor Kra- iec was chairman of the psychology de- irtment at Skidmore College for more .an 20 years. His success in building a rong department attests to his primary !!dication to good teaching. During this '?riod, he continued to teach the elemen- ry course, in which he showed a special )ility to make psychology understandable id interesting." Dr. Krawiec resigned the chairmanship 1969 to return to full-time teaching and riting. He has a multi-volume project :,ider way. The first book in the series, he Psychologists (What They Do and aw They Came to Do It), is being pub- shed by Oxford Press. From 1967 to 1970, Dr. Krawiec edited le Newsletter of Division 2 of the Ameri- m Psychological Association. Dr. Hobbs 'eaks to this point: "Professor Krawiec ade psychological education a prime sub- ct and elicited interest in this area among Dth peers and students. Through his en- lusiasm, the Newsletter became an impor- nt clearing house for ideas on the teach- ig of psychology." In an era when college students often ave trouble agreeing on anything, the udents at Skidmore are in consensus on : least one point: Professor Krawiec is a good teacher. Dr. Heinz Ansbacher, a for- mer associate and a member of the psy- chology department at the University of Vermont, has a theory as to why Dr. Krawiec gets through to his students. "His success with the undergraduates," he says, "is due to a combination of pro- found knowledge of the subject matter, a broad outlook with high humanistic val- ues, sincerity, great vitality, and a warm sense of humor. Thus, he offers the stu- dents not only scholarship but also contact with a person whom they may well take as an example." Dr. Krawiec spent two sabbatical leaves from Skidmore in teaching. In 1953-54, he was a lecturer at Ibrahim University in Cairo, Egypt, and a decade later he was a visiting professor at Louisiana State Uni- versity. A native of Rhode Island, Professor Krawiec earned his B.S. from Colby and his Ph.D. from New York University. He and his wife Stephanie have two sons, Wesley '61, who is chairman of the science department at Germantown Academy in Philadelphia, and Steven '63, an assistant professor of biology at Lehigh. "Although my first choice for college was Brown, I was turned down," Dr. Krawiec says, "so, when I came to Brown as a graduate student I made up my mind to give a little extra effort, just to show them. The results were good — I got straight A's." J.B.

While the "best-burger-on-Thayer-Street" competition is enriching the advertising revenues of the Brown Daily Herald, a natural-food snack bar in the basement of Faunce House is doing a big business on preservative-less yogurt. Big Mother Foods was started about two years ago by serious health food ideologues who not only sold organic food but also wrote term papers on nutrition. Since then, the health-food bar, which is part of a student gathering place called Big Mother, has seen some hard times. The already-expensive organic food items rose in price, and the snack bar managers were reluctant to pass the in- crease along to the customers. The operation lost money and almost foundered before it was taken over by a group of stu- dents who were willing to sacrifice some nutritional purity for survival. They peddled natural foods during Spring Weekend to recoup some of the losses, and then started economizing on some of the items. Under the new manage- ment, the roasted soybeans and blueberry tea are still the same, but the bread is no longer home-made. "The girl who was baking it for us moved away," says Leslie Seeman '73, "and we just couldn't afford to pay any- one else to do it." Now the bread — which comes with cheese, apple butter, or peanut butter mixed with honey and sesame seeds — is pumpernickel or rye from a local delicatessen. Another change came last year with a crisis over organic foods. According to Leslie Seeman, who works in the store most days, the organic dried apricots got too expensive and tasted terrible. After a lot of discussion it was decided to switch to non-organic apricots. "A few cranks complained," she says, "but most people liked the new ones better." Most of the stock of dried fruits, seeds, and nuts is still ordered from Walnut Acres, an organic farm in western Pennsylvania, but Big Mother Foods has also investigated better prices from local suppliers. During a recent lunch hour, a fellow health-food purveyor named Vinnie dropped in to deliver the snack bar's weekly order of cider. Vinnie leaned on the antique, non-functioning cash register, dis- cussed the quality of the cider for a while, and said he may ; not be able to continue to supply it. His communally-op- erated health-food restaurant may soon close down because the commune members are thinking of going to India. Big Mother Foods shares the basement room, which used to be the old Brown supplies store, with several other stu- dent-run enterprises. Mother Records sells discount records — [ mostly rock — and provides the daytime music. Starting at 9 every night, the room turns into a coffee house with refresh- ments and live entertainment. Ken Field, manager of the coffee house, is also in the position of trying to rescue a faltering operation. "I want to make this a soft, mellow place where people feel free to come in by themselves," he says. Almost anyone who wishes to perform can come in and play guitar for what- ever donations are collected during the evening. The decor is James Taylor posters, framed fabric samples, and pillows on a carpeted floor. The room may be put to additional use in the near future by a crafts collaborative, where students could display and sell hand-made goods.
