Why not the best? Editor: I am writing in response to Jerry Mackarevich's letter (BAM, September) in which he accused Brown's polic\Tnakers of being "criminally elitist" because they im- plemented a curriculum specifically designed for highly motivated students. My question is that if Brown should not gear its curriculum for the most highly motivated and creative students, which uni- versity should? HOWARD S. YARUSS '80 Qimpus 'Fuzzy thinking' Editor: 1 have read Professor Stultz's ar- ticle on South African investments (BAM, May/June) and cannot resist saying that it seems to me that onlv the immature and un- sophisticated individuals could possibly go along with the "radical" thesis, in contrast to [former Undersecretary of State] George Ball's moderate and reasoned thinking. I do not believe that our University should be bulldozed into divestiture because of the fuzzy thinking of a handful of under- graduates — any more than it should have given in on the Louise Lamphere issue. DAVID P. LOW '33 Brockton, Mass. 'Growing apart' Editor: I would like to comment on Anne Diffily's excellent article in September's BAM. I haven't been awav from Brown as long as she has, but I can idenhfy with some of her sentiments. However, the fact that people change and have less in common after they graduate can be viewed in several dif- ferent ways. I regard my four years at Brown with fondness; a period when most were "searching for themselves." Only a few seemed to have a direction, while others were unknowingly shaping theirs, guided by both positive and negative experiences. The one thing we will always have in common is this period in our lives when we were creating a springboard for growth after graduation. We do not "find ourselves": we "become ourselves," and once leaving Brown, this process really begins.

'Outraged' Editor: I was completely outraged at the inference ("Thayer Street," BAM, October] that my parents' fine tobacco shop is or ever has been a head shop. My parents, and my son who works for them, are all nationally known and respected tobacconists. They sell the finest pipes, cigars, and tobacco available in the world. They have never sold bongs or pot pipes. Their clients are Brown professors, area physicians, lawyers, and businessmen who can afford the most select tobacco. Matthew Wald '76's scurrilous cracks about that shop's not surviving if "decriminaliza- tion" didn't occur is worthy of a libel suit. My parents have always done extremely well in that shop, precisely because they are decent, super-honest people, as well as among the most knowledgeable tobacconists in the world. Brown will never again get one cent from this alumna. Education there sure has deteriorated when a graduate knows no bet- ter than to smear rather than research. ELAINE OSTRACH CHAIKA '56, '72 Ph.D. Foster, R.l. See below — Editor CORRECTION In the article on Thayer Street in the Oc- tober issue, writer Matthew Wald referred to the Red Carpet Smoke Shop as "still going strong, despite predictions that it would dose if decriminalization did not pass the state legislature." Says Wald: "For years there has been student speculation about whether tobacco shops would sell marijuana if it were legalized and about the future of to- bacco shops as the number of persons using marijuana increases. That is what I meant by my comment. I did not mean to imply that the Red Carpet Smoke Shop is engaged in il- legal activities; rather just the opposite, since it has been widely known on the campus for many years as a quaUty tobacco shop." The BAM sincerely regrets any embarrassment caused the owners of the Red Carpet Smoke Shop and apologizes to them. — Editor Photo by Arthur T. Gregorian Arc/a [L] spent two years creating this rug.

So said Jean Mayer, Tufts University president and noted nutritionist, to Brown's newly minted M.D.'s at the Com- mencement ceremonies last June. Es- sentially Mayer proffered a diagnosis of health in America today: the plagues of the past have been largely banished and now Americans, who live longer than ever before, are subject to a variety of social and environmental killers. The model of the crisis-oriented specialty physician working in a large urban hospital does not serve in dealing with the present public health scourges — hypertension, alcoholism, malnutrition, venereal disease, chronic disability, and environmental hazards. In response to the changing charac- ter of health (or ill health) in America — wenrt' healthier, yet we have more health problems — what Dr. Pierre Gal- letti has called "a new breed of physi- cian" is emerging, and Brown has as- sisted as midwife in the delivery. The new breed has been christened "famih' physician" (the shingles sa\' Family Practice or Family Medicine) and he is essentially hybrid — a mix of the old model general practitioner with new emphasis on preventive medicine and health education, on counseling, and on coordinating care for the chronically disabled as well as for the acutely ill. In 1975 Brown initiated a Famih' Medicine Residency Program in conjunction with Pawtucket's Memorial Hospital, de- signed especially to train this new breed. Since family pracHce was estab- lished as a specialty itself in 1969, over 300 residenc\- programs have sprung up and competition for positions is great. Brown's own program, with thirty-six residents, is now one of the two largest family medicine programs in New Eng- Vie Family Care Center at Pawtuckel Manorial: Training physicians "who care about people. " land (the University of Connecricut has the other). Then, reinforcing Brown's com- mitment to the training of this new breed of physician, last April the execu- tive committee of the faculty of the med- ical program voted to make Family Medicine an autonomous section, thus giving it full status as a department. This is indeed significant because, de- spite its popularity with medical stu- dents and new residents, family medicine is rather a black sheep among traditional medical school courses. Says Dr. Louis Hochheiser, director of the Family Medicine residency program and chairman of the new section, "We try to teach the 'normals,' which is not usually done for physicians. They are usually taught from a disease basis. But now our students know that when elderly people sleep only six hours a night that's all the sleep they need, or that 50 percent of all kids have a long crying period each day" Family physicians, Hochheiser says, try to teach prevention and health education. "Our hope is that in teaching people to become more responsible for (heir own health, with regard to smok- ing, nutrition, exercise, and so forth, we can create a healthier population that has less need for the specialty phvsi- This new department, which had previously been a subsection of Com- munity Health, will play a large role in bringing the broad aspects of family medicine to medical students, according to Hochheiser. "For example, how do you organize health care delivery?" he asks. "How do you measure the quality of care? How do you assess the needs of people versus the needs of the profes- sion? What are the best methods and the best times to do health education? How can we teach medical students and residents cost containment? How can we measure the quality of care provided in an office practice?" The department already has several physicians on the faculty — pediatricians, psychiatrists, specialists in rehabilitation medicine and emergency medicine — as well as a psychologist and a nutritionist. Each resident, when he begins the family medicine program, is assigned a family whom he follows for the next three years. "This is unique," says Hoch- heiser, "and it gives them a real experi- ence of being a family phvsician." Hochheiser is quite encouraged by the medical students he sees entering family medicine. "The young people are very humanistic," he says. "They care about people. This bodes very promis- ing for the health care system." D.S. Student loan defaults: A national problem Elsewhere in this issue (Point of View, page H) a Brown alumnus dis- cusses the burden of repaving his stu- dent loans. Several of his classmates have defaulted on their loans, and they are joined by hundreds of students elsewhere; the default rate on federally insured loans to college students has risen to a national average of 13 percent. At Brown, the default or delinquency rate ranges from 7 to 13 percent, de- pending on the loan program. That college costs have been soar- ing should be news to no one by now. Specifically, tuition at Brown for the present academic year is $5,050. Room and board charges come to $2,090 (with various permutadons for meal plans, etc.). Add $100 for the student activities fee and health services fee (plus a $50 deposit required of new students) and another couple of hundred dollars for books and transportation expenses, and you're soon trimming the edge off an $8,000 bill — which, experience tells you, wall go up each year. Some students, with their own earnings and savings and contributions from their parents' incomes and sav- ings, can pay the full bill. The remain- der, those who require some form of financial aid, fall into two general cate- gories: those who receive aid from the University, and those who do not — and have thus made other arrange- ments, such as with a bank back home. Those students receiving aid from the University get a financial aid "package" — that is, a combination of scholarship funds, loans, a'nd a guaranteed job on campus totaling their determined "need." For example, a student who has a $4,000 need, according to the Fi- nancial Aid Office, might receive a package of a $1,900 scholarship (an out- right gift of tuition funds), a $1,250 loan, and a job that would pay, over the year, $850. Each year the student's need is evaluated and his package adjusted ac- cordingly. The monev for student loans through Brown comes from four sources: a) gifts from alumni, friends, and corpo- rations; b) University appropriations; c) the National Direct Student Loan Pro- gram; and d) the Federally Insured Stu- dent Loan Program. The National Direct Student Loan Program is federally funded, carries a maximum indebted- ness of $5,000 for undergraduate stu- dents, and has a 3- percent interest rate. When a student is no longer enrolled in a college or universit\', even part-time. he has a nine-month grace period before the bills start and ten years, not count- ing the grace period, in which to pay off the loan. The Federally Insured Student Loan Program carries a maximum in- debtedness of $7,500, a 7- percent in- terest rate, a twelve-month grace period, and a ten-year payment period. A student is eligible for a federally in- sured loan only after he has had his loan application denied by a bank. "TTiis provision is designed to discourage multiple indebtedness," Jim Dorian, assistant director of financial aid/loans at Brown, explains, "when a student may be borrowing from a bank as well as from Brown. The problem," he says, "is, what is a realistic debt to have when you graduate from college?" The average loan from Brown this year — and one-third of the under- graduates receive some kind of loan from the University — is about $1,250. At this rate, after four years a student's indebtedness to the University' would come to $5,000. If this student — let us call him Sam — had a National Direct Student Loan, his minimum monthly payment for ten years would be $48.28. With a federal]\- insured loan, Sam's minimum monthly payment would be $58.05 for ten years. If Sam joins the Army or the Peace Corps, or if he en- rolls in graduate school, his account is automaticalU' deferred. But if he chooses to bicycle through Europe for the year following his college gradua- tion, he gets no reprieve from the bills. He can arrange to reduce his monthly pa\ments to correspond to his income, but in ten years' time the total loan payment is due. The situation is exacer- bated, of course, if a student has additional loans. Then his monthly pay- ments really add up. And these bills come in a period when the typical col- lege graduate is embarking on a career, and, perhaps, marrying and deciding to start a family. Pa\ing off one's college loan becomes, says Jim Dorian, "an- other rent payment." And when the choice may be between the rent itself and payment for a college education already down the line, the rent may win out. Thus caught in a financial squeeze, a college graduate might choose, or feel pushed, to default on his student loan. In 1977 the U.S. average default and delinquency rate for National Direct Student Loans was more than 17 per- cent; at Brown the rate was 13 percent. (Approximately 7 percent of those Brown students with federally insured loans were delinquent with the pay- ments.) Should the delinquency or de- fault rate on the federal loan programs reach 20 percent, Dorian says severely. Brown or any other institution would be suspended from making loans under that program for the next year. So the University makes diligent efforts to col- lect on its loans, to the extent of turn- ing cases over to collection agencies. (Brown can lose money on its University loans and if pa\ments are delinquent with a National Direct Student Loan, Brown is responsible for collecting them.) The Office of Education serves as collection agency for federally insured loans and will repay Brown for default- ed loans on that loan program only. "Now Brown has two full-time collec- tors and a new computer system and we put a lot more time and money into col- lecting than we ever did before," Dorian says. "We feel that the borrower was able to attend the Universit)' and get an education because of the loan and we feel it ought to be repaid to give others a chance, too." The money Brown loses to delinquent loan payments is money lost for additional financial aid to students. Numerous plans and proposals have been suggested to ease the burden of college costs to students and parents. Some involve a tuition tax credit or in- creased funding of student loan pro- grams. Some moves have been made to lengthen the pa\menl period and achieve more flexible payment terms for present loan programs. In the July 1978 issue of the Atlantic Moithh/, Boston University President John Silber pro- posed the creation of a Tuition Advance Fund, whereby college students after their freshman year could receive a "tuition advance" totalling as much as $5,000 a year from a central federal fund. Upon his graduation or departure from college, whenever he starts earn- ing, the student would repay this ad- vance at the rate of 2 percent of his gross annual income — to be deducted from his paycheck along with taxes and So- cial Security. He would also pay a 50- percent surcharge "to ensure the fiscal soundness of the fund," which is roughU' equivalent to a 3.2-percent in- terest rate. The signal differences be- tween this Tuition Advance Fund and present loan programs, Silber says, are that the payment period stretches as long as is necessary, the pa\ment schedule remains constant at 2 percent of one's gross annual income, and there is no possibility for default. "The tuition advance is owed the Treasur\' of the United States," Silber writes, "and it is repaid in the form of a special tax by those who receive it. If a person went into bankruptcy to avoid his conven- tional loans and obligations, that would in no way affect his obligation to the U.S. Treasury. Whenever he again had income, 2 percent of that income would be liable to collection." WTiether Silber's plan will be adopted is not at all certain. Massachu- setts Rep. Michael Harrington and Sen. Edward Kennedy have introduced bills in Congress to implement Silber's proposal. What does seem clear is this: as the financial burden of a college edu- cation inexorably increases, so will the number of students who default on their loans. D.S. SALT: 'Insurance policy against human folly' There was more to Brown's open- ing convocation this year than cere- mony and presidential speechmaking. The students, faculty, and adminis- trators who crowded into Meehan Au- ditorium on the first day of classes were treated to a lesson on international rela- tions and the balance of power by a dis- tinguished guest speaker: Paul Warnke, director of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and chief U.S. negotiator for the current SALT talks. President Swearer led off the pro- ceedings with a state-of-the-University address that touched on the major is- sues in Brown's governance. After in- troducing Brown's new Corporation members and administrators and noting the new job titles and duties of the senior academic deans (Under the Elms, BAM, October), the president called at- tention to the fact that Brown is now operating with a "lean administration" and putting more of its resources into faculty, students, and curriculum. Mr. Swearer was interrupted by loud applause when he announced that, as a result of Brown's sex-blind admis- sions polic}', "we have reached our goal of a roughly one-to-one ratio of women to men" in this year's freshman class. Achieving parity seven years after the merger was a source of "considerable satisfaction," he said, and he assured the audience that it will continue in the future. Mr. Swearer foresaw "no major changes" in the undergraduate cur- riculum, but noted that it will undergo continuing study and examination. Dean of the College Walter Massey will p Paul Warnkein Meehan: Pra'cnting things from getting worse. be responsible for that, as well as for overseeing "the perennial issue of gov- ernance. " The Bakke decision, the pres- ident said, will have "no substantial or direct impact on Brown," since Brown's admission policies were already in ac- cord with the Supreme Court's deci- sion. He concluded with the observa- Hon that Brown is "entering a period of unusual opportunity," provided that we seize that opportunity and not allow ourselves to become "prisoners of the past." Paul Warnke touched on a similar theme in discussing the SALT II nego- tiations — what they can accomplish, what they can't, and what the conse- quences could be if the negotiations failed. The goal of the SALT talks, he said, is to establish "strategic stability" between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., be- cause "there is only one defense against nuclear war: the aggressor must know his country would be destroyed if he at- tacked." Some people still cling to the obsolete notion of strategic superioritv, which Warnke dismissed as unattain- able, a "will-o'-the-wisp." To such people, arms control is seen as "a policy of weakness." Warnke emphasized the need for a "hard-headed recognition of the realities of a nuclear age," and as- serted that "we can afford to negotiate because we're not dealing from a posi- tion of weakness." Others have criticized our negotia- tions with the Soviet Union out of a dis- taste for Soviet domestic policies and 'international adventurism," calling for a bovcott of the SALT talks as a protest against such policies. But "the SALT talks must stand on their own," Warnke said. Moreover, they can lead to in- creased cooperation between the two superpowers: "Arms control is as much in their interest as in ours," Warnke pointed out, and the U.S. and U.S.S.R. can also work together on preventing the spread of nuclear weapons to other countries. Warnke cautioned that the SALT talks will not usher in "an era of sweet- ness and light in internahonal relations" — nor will they free up our defense budget for domestic needs. Neither side, he warned, is going to voluntarily go beyond the boundaries of the agree- ment in limiting arms build-up, and he reminded the audience that there is no effective strategic defense against a nu- clear attack. But, he said, the SALT talks "can prevent things from getting worse. "We can't let familiarit\- with the shadow of nuclear war breed contempt or indifference," Warnke cautioned. He painted a vivid picture of the devasta- tion that would be wrought b\' an all- out nuclear war, and he concluded, "SALT II won't guarantee mankind against human folly. But it will serve as an insurance polic\'." /.P. Eggleston bequest leaves $1 million to Bio-med Brown's Division of Biolog\ and Medicine has received its largest single private gift to date: $1 million to estab- lish a fund for research and education in biochemistry. George Dunn Eggleston '28, a Binghamton, New York, busi- nessman who died May 18, stipulated in his will that income from the fund be used to establish an endowed profes- sorship in biochemistry bearing his name. Dean of Biological Sciences Richard J. Goss declined to speculate whether the endowed chair would be filled bv a Brown faculty member or by a distin- guished professor from outside the University. Goss termed biochemistry the "cornerstone" of Brown's medical curriculum, and said that the Eggleston gift "will lend a measure of stability to our various programs and enable us to reinforce areas that are already strong." ].P. I Luce Professorship The Henry Luce Foundation has awarded Brown a $250,000 grant to es- tablish a Henry R. Luce Professorship in the ComparaHve Studv of Develop- ment, which will be a joint appointment in the departments of sociology and economics, focusing on socio-economic development in Third World countries. The Luce professorships program underwrites experimental efforts to combine the resources and expertise of more than one academic discipline in the study of a specific problem or sub- ject. Dietrich Rueschemeyer, chairman of the sociology department, noted that his department has a number of ongo- ing projects in the areas of population change and the social aspects of eco- nomic dev'elopment. The Luce profes- sorship will help integrate these efforts with work being done in economics, and will help coordinate the research ef- forts of a proposed Center for the Com- parative Studv of Development at Brown. Specialists in East Asian, Latin American, Portuguese and Brazilian studies, and other members of the de- partments of political science and an- thropology are expected to contribute to the interdisciplinary research. A nationwide search is underway for what Rueschemeyer described as "a distinguished economist who is both vsnlling and able to work with sociolo- gists and other scientists " to fill the po- sition. j.P. 'I have never seen a team so decimated by injuries' Early last summer, John Anderson wore a satisfied smile and walked with a sprightly gait. And why not? The coach had just put together two of the best back-to-back football seasons in Brown's history, 8-1 and a tie for the Ivy title in 1976 and a 7-2 mark last fall. To top it off, this year's team, on paper, ap- peared to be stronger and deeper than its two illustrious predecessors. Apparently the media also thought that Brown would be a football power in 1978. During August all but one of the football magazines that flood the news- stands picked the Bears to win the Ivy League title. And while Brown didn't make the centerfold o( Plin/hn/, the Bruins did get the nt)d from that publi- cation as the team to be reckoned with among the Ancient Eight. Unfortunately, the football team John Anderson had been smiling about last summer, the team the football mag- azines were praising to the sky, was destined never to take the field. An imprecedented number of injuries to ke\ people, along with some defections ihat added to Anderson's woes, forced the Bruin coach to open the season with a team that was a pale imitation of the club that was on the drawing board through the winter, spring, and sum- mer months. "In all my years of coaching I have never seen a football team decimated by injuries the,wa\- this year's club was," Anderson says. "The number of injuries was bad enough, but the thing that made it so tough was that every time a player was helped off the practice field he happened to be a ke\ performer." Anderson said that in his pre- season thinking only one sophomore was slated to start. Yet in the opening games against Yale and Rhode Island, Brown had ten sophomores on the field, four on offense and six on defense. If Anderson had been a prophet, he might have read the storm warnings that surfaced late in the summer. That's when he received a call from Chuck Brvson, a 6'3", 215-pound senior. Co-Capt. Neil Jacob, out for the season, talks to coaches m the press box during the Yale game. "Coach," he said, "m\- knee hasn't re- sponded to the surgery and the doctor savs I can't pla\'." Br\son, whose dad was the late Charles Br\ son '51, also a football pla\ er at Brown, was an impor- tant man in Anderson's plans. He was to have been shifted from tight end to flanker back, where his pass-recei\-ing abilit\- could still be utilized but, more importantK , vvhere his blocking ability would gi\e the offense an added di- mension. The loss of Bryson was only the start. A week later Anderson learned that Matt Quigley, a 6'4", 240-pound starting tackle, had suffered a deep cut on the leg from a chain-saw while on his summer job and would probabh' be lost for the year. Two offensive starters down — more to come. On the opening day of practice, Anderson found out that the man he had selected to replace Bryson at flanker, 6'3", 210-pound Ed Ponko, who had been a fullback last year as a sophomore, had decided to give up football. The man who finally inherited the position is senior Marty DeFran- cesco, a good runner and pass receiver but who, at 175 pounds, is limited in his ability to block. "Our flanker the last three years was Charlie Watkins," Anderson says. "He was a speed burner, a great pass receiver, and an exciting player who had the ability to make the big play. But he was small and wasn't a great blocker. This put a severe strain on our running game since we could only run success- fully to one side of the field. That's why Bryson was so important to our offense this year. With him at flanker I thought we could finally let our good running backs utilize both sides of the field be- hind that big line of ours." One week into double sessions, disaster struck again. Junior halfback Jojo Jamiel went down with an injury to a bone in his instep. A constant breaka- way threat, Jamiel was the team's sec- ond-leading rusher last year with a 5.9 average and was second in the East in kickoff returns with a 28.7 mark. After trying to practice on the injured foot, and after a brief appearance against Yale, Jamiel was sent to the sidelines for two weeks with a cast on his foot and didn't return until the Cornell game. Three days after Jamiel was side- lined, sophomore John Atcheson, a 6'6", 240-pound tight end with tremendous potential, had his ankle broken in the scrimmage with Boston University. Those were just Anderson's losses on offense. Then there was the defense. Before practice even started, Anderson had lost his two first-string ends, Tom Thurow (also the second-leading punter in the Ivy League a year ago) and Andy Ousterhout. The former was ineligible and the latter decided to pass up the game for personal reasons. No more than five minutes into the first day of contact, Co-Capt. Neil Jacob, the team's only returning linebacker with any varsity experience, suffered a broken arm. He was declared out for the year. While attempting to patch up the defense from these three losses, Ander- son was hit with another blockbuster the week before the opener with Yale when his two starting tackles, Mike Lancaster and Rocky Tate, were side- lined with leg injuries. Since his arrival at Brown in 1973, John Anderson has never used injuries as an excuse for his team's performance on the field. This year was no exception. Whatever the reason — and the time it took for three new varsity coaches to get to know the personnel may also have been a factor — Brown lost the home opener to Yale, 21-0, before a packed stadium and a regional TV audience and then was rudely upset by a fired-up URl team, 17-3. Never had an Anderson team opened with two losses and not since 1974 had one of his Brown teams lost two games in a row. In retrospect. Brown's biggest "mistake" against Yale was losing the toss of the coin in a game that had been billed as the battle for the Ivs' champion- ship. Yale took the opening kickoff and marched fifty-nine yards for a touch- down, mixing an option pitchout to con- fuse the Brown ends and linebackers and misdirection plays to take advan- tage of the sophomore tackles and line- backers. By halftime, Yale had 21 points, the ball game, and possibly an- other Ivy title as well. Led by a brilliant sophomore, John Woodring, the patched-up defense came to life in the second half of the Yale game and performed well against URl. Ironically, the offense, which was described b\' some experts as "poten- tially explosive," didn't reach its poten- tial nor did it do any exploding through the first two games. Ten fumbles (six were lost) and five pass interceptions didn't help the situation. If Anderson was discouraged at that point in the season, he didn't show it. He saw the third game of the year, at Princeton, as the key to the remainder of the campaign. "We're still only 0-1 in the Ivy League," he said at that time, "and if we get past Princeton I think we will still have a good chance at the Ivy title. We should have six or seven of our injured players back for the final six games and, with those men in the lineup, we're still a \'er\' fine football team." On the other side of the coin, An- derson had to admit that if Brown lost to the Tigers, 1978 could turn into a very long season. After seventeen minutes at Tiger- town, it looked as though the season was going to be exccpHoimlh/ long. The Bruins had dominated the action, but trailed, 13-0, and were still on the prowl for their first touchdown of the season. Then Brown drove seventy-seven yards in eight plays, with sophomore fullback Steve Curtin scoring from the seven- teen. Suddenly everything started to fall in place. By halftime. Brown was ahead, 17-13, and the final was a very comfort- able 44-16. The forty-four points repre- sented Brown's highest output against the Tigers since 1943, when the late Charlie Tiedemann scored tyvice in lead- ing Brown to a 28-20 triumph. This year's statistics were as decisive as the final score: 444 yards in total offense to 113 for Princeton, 22 first downs to eight, and only 16 net yards rushing for the Tigers. Before the game, the players de- cided to have a meeting without the coaching staff to talk about where they were going. "We were going bad and I felt it was important to have everyone pulling together," Co-Capt. Mark Whipple says. "The offense needed the support of the defense, and the defense needed our encouragement. A little talk can sometimes pull people together. Everyone had to have his doubts erased, and they were." Whipple was a key man in this game. On Monday he was told that he would be calling his own plays against the Tigers. There would be no more flashing the pla\s in from the sidelines. One of the reasons for this move was that Rhode Island had broken the Brown code and was picking up the Brown signals and flashing them to their defensive unit on the field. For Whip.'s part, he thoroughly en- joyed calling his own game. "I spent hours during the week studying the Princeton defense on film and talking with our coaches about the game plan. When Saturday' came, I was as prepared to call the game as any man could be. It was fun." One of Whipple's calls was also fun for the Brown fans. It was 24-16 Brown midway through the third period, still anyone's game, and the Bruins had just recovered a fumble at the Princeton twent\-eight. On first down, Whipple gave the ball to flanker back Marty De- Francesco on a reverse, and while run- ning to his right, the former quarterback fired a perfect pass to Barr\- Blum in the end zone. That was the ball game. With the first victory secured, things went swimmingh' for Brown in its next game at home against Penn. That's because the field — along with the players, coaches, and fans — was covered with water from one of the worst rain storms a Brown team has played through in years. If there was a worse storm recently it came two years ago against Penn, a day when Brown was upset, 7-6, the defeat costing the team a perfect season and sole posses- sion of the Ivy crown. This time. Brown outplayed a good Penn team, limiting an offense that had been averaging 367 yards a game rush- ing to just 71 yards and outscoring the Quakers, 14-0. Penn's star quarterback Tom Roland gained 213 yards rushing the previous week against Columbia but had minus 12 yards for his efforts against Brown. Anderson's defense, which included three sophomores and three other men who had played very little varsity football prior to 1978, had come of age — making Brown a very tough team to move against. Whipple was still having fun on offense, calling his own plavs. Going into the final five games of the season the Bruins were in second place and very much in the Ivy League race, thanks to Dartmouth's 10-3 upset of Yale. IB. Roundup When the soccer team got off to a slow start (1-2-1), Coach Cliff Stevenson had an unusual lament — too manv good young pla)'ers. The Bruins were ranked fourth in the nation a vear ago, reaching the tinal-four tournament of the NCAA championships in San Francisco, and most of those plasers returned. "We had a particularly good pre-season," Stevenson savs. 'The double sessions went well and then we scrimmaged MIT and Babson on the same dav and beat them both. Next we played an exhibi- tion with Philadelphia Textile, a pow- erhouse, and came out ahead, 2-1. "The next week m\' troubles started. The freshmen arrived on cam- pus, and six or seven ver)' talented kids reported for practice. They were two weeks behind the rest of the squad, but it was mv responsibilit\' to blend these men in with the veterans for our opener at home against Clemson, the country's number-one team a year ago. We were experimenting with personnel, Clem- son was \ery tough, and we ended up losing, 3-2." Four days later. Brown played Bos- ton University, a team the Bears de- stroved 18-1 three \ears ago. TTiis was the year of the Terrier's revenge. Emo- tionallv drained from the torrid battle with Clemson, Brown played lethargi- callv and paid the price, 2-1. "That was the early-season game that really bothered me," Stevenson says. "Boston University played smart soccer, covering us man-to-man along the front line until they took the 2-1 lead, at which point they packed eight men back in front of their cage. Every- one in New England wants to knock off Brown. Mavbe we learned a lesson in that game." Brown then easUy defeated Yale, 4-0, in its Ivy opener and followed this by plaving a 1-1 tie with a talented and well-coached Rhode Island team. Now in its fourth varsity season, the women's soccer team will find it difficult to surpass last year's 7-1 record, but bv earU October the team was off to an excellent 2-0 start, outscoring its op- ponents 6-1. Though ten seniors grad- uated from the 1977 squad, coach Phil Pincince has an eager group of experi- enced freshmen. Sophomore Lisa Seg- barth, the team's high scorer with 24 points last year, has returned her speedy intimidation to the forward line, where she is joined b\- junior Meridy Smith and senior co-captain Isabel Ec- cles. Finishing out the line is a new- comer, and the team's fastest player, sophomore Laurie Parker. On Novem- ber 3 and 4, Brown hosts the first wom- en's Ivy soccer championships. The women's cross-country team is into a year of rebuilding. Of Brown's top five Ivv Championship finishers, only junior Susie Adams is returning, and coach Jon Hird is rehing heavily on newcomers and freshmen to bolster the team.

I almost envy them. They may have to live with the stigma of bankruptcy (a consequence of which my bank fre- quently reminds me), but I have to live with a repayment schedule that makes the local loan shark appear reasonable. Their reasons for default were un- derstandable. They were not out to shirk their responsibility nor make a political statement about the unreason- ableness of college costs and financial- aid availability. They were simply un- able to repay their loans and afford to live in the city where they were em- ployed. They, and thousands like them, have been forced to make a simple, dis- tasteful choice: sacrifice career oppor- tunities or default. Consider my own case as an example of someone rather luckier than most, and yet about to be forced into the same situation. I attended an Ivy League university where the annual cost was about $6,500 each year. Because of military service, I was eligible for benefits under the GI Bill, and needed to borrow only $7,500 of the total $26,000 cost. Upon graduating I was again lucky. I accepted a good job with long-term career opportunities, paying $13,000. Moving to New York City, I was con- fronted with the economic realities of a modest lifestyle. My take-home salary was $760 a month, which I spent as follows: $270 — rent for a small, walk-up studio apartment; $80 — food; $50 — lunches; $20 — telephone; $20 — gas and electric utilities; $50 — subway fares; $20 — laundry; $10 — newspapers and magazines; $50 — clothes (a $500 investment in several suits, shirts, ties; items not necessarx' in school or the Nav\-, but By Steve M. Cohen 75 suddenly important in the business world); $30 — furniture (a $300 investment for a bed, dining room table, chairs, dresser, desk, and dishes); $50 — movies, sports, dates; $10 — doctor bills. My total monthly expenses were $660. This left me $100 a month for sav- ings and/or repayment of my student loan. However, my student-loan pay- ments were about $150 each month, or $50 more than I had. While the University is understand- ing about temporary repayment defer- ments, other creditors are not. Because the loans are guaranteed by the gov- ernment, the banks would easily accept my default. For me this situation is distasteful, but not impossible. While my lifestyle is not quite spartan, it is far from middle- class comfortable. I cannot afford a car, vacations, or dining out; and I have no savings. For many others, including my de- faulted friends, it is more difficult. Without veterans' benefits they had to borrow more to attend school. Later they found that most starting salaries were not so generous as mine. With a college-loan system that is insulated from the realities of finding a job, coupled with the cost of living, it is little wonder thousands of \oung people de- fault. One solution is the Tuition Ad- vance Fund (TAF). As proposed, (he TAF would provide up to $5,000 a year to students to be paid back after gradu- ation at the rate of 2 percent of annual earnings until the advance plus a 50 percent premium was repaid. A sttident could not default. Willi no earnings in a given year, the repayment would sim- pl) be deferred. In my case, the TAF system would mean a first-year repay- ment of $225, or $18.75 each month. The difference between the two approaches — an $18.75 nionlhh pa\ - ment under TAF vs. a $150 monthly payment currently — is not just finan- cial. There is a disheartening psycholog- ical pressure imposed by the current system. I have no savings. I postpone needed medical treatment. And I worry about a younger sister who has worked hard to gain admittance to a prestigious private college, but who may not be able to attend it because she was born into a middle-class family. Merit be damned, she may have to forfeit the honor and opportunity of a first-rate education. If we are to solve the dual problem of financing higher education and pre- venting defaults, then we must imple- ment a solution that recognizes the difficulty in securing funds to attend col- lege and the reality of jobs after college. Recent graduates don't want to default. But they don't want to give up good jobs or eating, either. Steve Cohen is an account executive at a New York advertising agency.

Its mission is to safeguard the Uni- versity's assets — its cash, inventory of supplies and equipment, etc. — and to see that University policy is adhered to. Edward Goralnik (below) has been the assistant internal auditor at Brown for four years. With his supervisor, Brian Balsofiore, Ed periodically reviews the financial workings of various depart- ments at Brown, from Administrative Data Processing to Xerox Copying Serv- ices. The purchasing department, for instance, maintains an inventory of supplies worth approximately $130,000. Ed checks the system of controls for re- ceipt of the goods, their storage and subsequent issue. "We physically ob- serve the taking of inventor\- at year- end and we take periodic counts our- selves." Ed and Brian observe over twenty separate inventories at Brown. They also provide "management ser- vices," advising various enterprises on their most efficient operation. "We did a review of health services," Ed said, "and a break-even analysis of their drug sales, X-ra\'s, and laboratory work. We determined that they were still on a competitive basis with local merchants. " 'Spreading the gospel of security' Ron Muir (above) has been a campus police officer at Brown for the last two and a half years. Before coming to Provi- dence, where his wife had enrolled in nursing school, Ron had worked security at the University of Vermont and at the Newport Jazz Festival in Newport and New York. At Brown he is one of ten campus police officers (though the total uni- formed security force numbers thirty), meaning that he has trained at the municipal police academy and is licensed by the state to make arrests. He carries no gun, though he is licensed to do so, because of a University policy. He wears a gold badge. Ron's da\ on the job starts late. He works the second shift — 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. — usually on the Car 5 post. "It's interesting," he said of his job. "It changes. I like being out- side and the charm of being out at night." Ron likes least working on weekends — he's on four out of seven — and holidays, and he gets frustrated with "the Brown bureaucra- cy" But he likes the community and has come to know many students. "Thev keep you alive, stimulated. It's interesting to talk with them. I wanted to be a college professor," Ron, who was an English major, confessed. "I go into the dorms to spread the gospel of security, which is, basically, locking doors. We talk a lot, especially during Freshman Week, let- ting them know that we are human beings also and we're here to help them." One of the roughest situations Ron has been in was a bar fight in a fraternity; one of the scariest was a call from Metcalf Laboratorv. "A bad gaseous smell permeated the building when a kid had an unidentified chemical compound he was trying to dry out. It turned out to be phosphorus pentoxide and took the plating off our belts and shoe eyelets." Ron flicked his cigarette away and got info Car 5, starting an eve- ning's rounds. 14 r 'Would you plot that wide liquid?' "Ross, would you plot that wide liquid?" someone asks and Ross McKenrick (below) says, "Sure." He bobs and weaves between Brown's two IBM computer keyboards, and re- places one magnetic tape with another. Ross is one of four full-time operators at Brown's Com- puter Laboratory. He works three days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and he makes the things run. Ross decides which "jobs" are to run and when, from a list given him by the man- ager. He monitors the computer system and adjusts the op- eration — when and how fast programs are run — to see that it is most efficient. Ross started as a part-time dispatcher in the Computer Lab in 1975, when he was a freshman at Brown. He got the job through the student employment office. After two years of part-time work and full-time study — first as an engineer- ing major and then in computer science — Ross took a leave of absence from Brown to work full-time as a computer operator. In his spare time he is working on a programming project, and he plans to return to college in a year. As for operating, he says: "I see it as a skill that will help me get my foot in the door of any business I want." 15 'My best friends are my comrades at work' For dose to seven years Ulysses Johnson (at right) has worked for the Brown University Mail Service, a service without which — it is universally agreed — this place would not function. Ulysses makes two trips a day to pick up and deliver mail to University Hall, often with a late pickup at 4:45 p.m. He sorts the maU in the faculty mailroom, sailing the pieces into the correct boxes with nary a second glance. "My really best close friends are my comrades who 1 work with," he says, "like brother Dave over there. He's like my real brother." 'Sometimes it's very much detective work' Rita Warnock 78 (far right) received a ten-year service pin from Brown a year before she received her B.A., magna cum laude, in medieval studies. She had worked part-time as a searcher in the Library's acquisitions department while rais- ing her four children, and when she and her husband — Robert, an associate professor in the German department — returned from a sabbatical five years ago, Rita decided to re- sume her education. She slowly worked up to three courses a semester, continuing her work at the library as well. Rita wrote a thesis on "The City of Luebeck from its Founding to the 15th Century." She has begun, this fall, work toward a master's in library science at Simmons. "One reason I did medieval studies," she says, "is that I would eventually like to work with rare books." In her work in the Rockefeller Library, Rita is responsible for processing book orders and buying books for the German and art departments at Brown. Orders come in year round and when they do Rita first checks to make sure the books are );o/ in the library. She searches the card catalogue on the average of 110 times a week. She checks book prices and the order is sent off. "Once the book arrives we have to make sure we have the correct entry in the main catalogue. It is very necessary to know languages," she says. "Sometimes our work is ver\' much detective work." During the strike two years ago of the University's li- brary employees Rita felt torn. "That semester I had to drop an independent study course 1 wanted ver\' much to do because 1 couldn't get to the books. Somehow I really felt very much fused together with my fellow workers. It helped me to realize that there are times when you have to really rely on \'ourself a little bit." 'I think the meals are terrific' If anyone looks like a cook, and appears to enjoy his job, Sal Addeo (at right) is that man. Big and jolly, with a yellow-gray mustache and a chefs hat, Sal has satisfied students' stomachs for the last twelve years. On a normal night Sal and the rest of the Ratty kitchen crew cook dinner for 2,000, a menu that may include roast chicken, ham steaks, vegetarian pineapple fritters, salads, pastry, and soft ice cream. "1, for one, think the meals here are terrific," says Sal. "Everything is our responsibility," he says of the kitchen crew. "We all work together and all help one another; that's the only way to get your work done." Sal, who at right is cooking barbecue ribs, will retire in June. 16 ■^i e :^ '■■"^. // I What's the If you were to call Brown University — (401) 863-1000 — football anytime between 8:30 and 5:00 from Monday to Friday, score? chances are fifty-fifty that you'd get Margaret Cionfolo (op- posite) on the line. Margaret has operated Brown's switch- board for almost six years, and she worked in the Bookstore office for seven years before that. A delicate beeping indicates an incoming call and a light flashes green on the sleek pushbutton board. "Brown Uni- versity," answers Margaret in a pleasant voice. "What's the football score?" is a frequent question, though the Admission Office and the Registrar get the most calls. "We know most people on campus by voice," she says. "We often wonder what they look like." The remaining 50 percent of the time, vou'll get Emma Walsh, who has worked the switchboard at Brown since 1960. 'They're great kids' Emily Medeiros (left) has been at Brown for five and a half years as secretary to Assistant Dean of the College Edward Hail '48. Emily sees all the students — 50 percent are walk-ins — waiting to see the dean. "They're great kids," she says. During the summer she helps to prepare all the material sent to incoming freshmen, including the Orientation Week booklet. Thelma Sweet, in the background, has worked in University Hall since 1960 and is presently secretary to Dean of Freshmen Carey Mcintosh. "I love it," she says. 'A job you have to like' "Until this year," says athletic equip- ment manager Bill Payne (left), "I'd come in Friday before a game and have to work sixteen to eighteen hours just preparing helmets. I'd put on silver paint and then a clear coat of plastic so the paint wouldn't rub off on oppo- nent's jerseys. This year we went into two helmets, one for games and one for practice. It makes my job easier and the kids look a lot better. Now I just have to do touch-up after a game and put on new decals." Bill Payne has been athletic equip- ment manager at Brown for four years — he counts by football seasons — and although he calls himself a "jack of all trades, master of none," he has or- ganized and cares for all Brown's foot- ball, hockey, soccer, lacrosse, and bas- ketball equipment and uniforms. Bill developed a sort of perpetual inventory system to reduce money and equipment waste and installed a com- plete laundry in Aldrich-Dexter Field House. "We used to spend close to $1,000 a week just sending uniforms to be cleaned," he says. "Now nothing leaves the University. Ninety percent of what is damaged we can recondition ourselves." Bill deals with salesmen, orders equipment and controls the budget, in consultation with coaches, for football and hockey. He also travels with both teams. "It's a job you Imvc to like, really," Bill says, "because sometimes you have no life awav from the job . . . Some of the students I have from their freshman year until thev graduate. I see 'em eight hours a day. Their parents don't even see them that much when they're in col- lege." What's the best part of the job? "Seein' 'em win on Saturday," says Bill. 19 For seven and a half years. Alumnae Hall has been a second home For seven and a half years, from 7 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.. Alumnae Hall has been a second home to Hank Grinchell (above). He knows every dust-catching corner, every en- trance, exit, and hideaway. Alumnae Hall is one of Brown's busiest buildings, with classes, concerts, dramatic produc- tions, lectures, meetings, ballroom dances, and wedding re- ceptions taking place there. Hank, as custodian, must set up and remove hundreds of chairs, pull the podium out and set up a projection screen for a bio-med professor, push those back and bring forth a desk for John Rowe Workman's explo- ration of ancient Greece. The work is harder in the winter when everyone tracks in mud and wet footprints linger on the stairs, and busiest in the summer when all the mainte- nance and major cleaning is done. 20 X / 'Never be afraid to say hello, because hello is cheap' George Anderson (below) came to Brown fifteen years ago to work as an oiler. He took care of most of the motors. "Motors are electrical," George says, "and if there was trouble, I'd pick it out." Soon he moved into the electrical shop where he does construction, maintenance, and trou- bleshooting. Since 1964, for instance, George has been in- volved in the University's preparations for Commencement, helping to set up the class sign and stringing the lights for the Campus Dance. The most common electrical problems. George says, are burnt-out tubes and blown-out ballasts. "I've been in the atdcs and cellars of almost every house and building at Brown. There's quite a few students who sa\' hello to me. I used to be a scoutmaster and I'd say to the boys, 'Never be afraid to say hello, because hello is cheap.' " George's wife, Muriel, works at Brown, too — as a technical illustrator in the design and graphics department at Barus & Holley. By Debra Shore 'With no more preparation than a lifetime, Hyatt Waggoner began to teach' Hyatt Waggoner on William Faulkner: An encounter with two masters When I decided to attend the first class of Hyatt Wag- goner's course on William Faulkner, I kneio two things: that Waggoner is due to retire at the close of this aca- demic year, and that I had read venj little — The Bear, perhaps? — by William Faulkner. I had been told by several English majors that Waggoner u>as great, their favorite teacher in fact, and 1 could not remain so ignor- ant of Faulkner. So I sat expectant in the room, one ner- vous student amid sa'enteen unhioion faces. His brown cordurov jacket hung loose about his frame as he walked into the room holding his familiar corncob pipe and a manila folder. He was wearing work boots, and when he sat down at the head of the table, he took a paper clip from his papers to fidget with. He passed around an attendance sheet — "I want to learn your names as quickly as possible" — and pulled from his folder the Bookstore's blue carbon copv of textbooks ordered for the course. Glancing at the book titles listed there, and with no more preparation than a lifetime, Hyatt Waggoner began to teach. Soldier's Pay, the first book we would read, he said, was Faulkner's first novel, published in 1926. "He wasn't able to write about soldiers the way Hemingway was." In 1924, Faulkner had pub- lished Tlie Marble Faun, "his first book of poems, which were not very good. When someone asked Faulkner why he chose the Hawthorne title, he 22 said, 'Who's Hawthorne?' " Next came Mosi^K/tof's, 1927. "I didn't choose it, because it's ('on>!^', " Waggoner said, not in the least reluctant to state an opinion, "except for one wonderful tall tale at the expense of Sherwood Anderson that I think is the only thing in the book that sounds like Faulkner." Then Sartohs in 1929. "In parts it is almost great Faulkner; it's promis- ing." With Tfie Sound and the Fur}/, also published in 1929, Faulkner "burst upon the scene with what may be his greatest work." We would then read As I Lay Dying, 1930, and Sanctuan/, 1931. Waggoner scanned the list. Lack- ing annotations, he supplied them, a cappella. "When Faulkner got the galley proofs for Sanc- tuan/," he said, "he practically rewrote the whole thing at his own expense. He called it a 'cheap idea.' He'd written it to be shocking and to make a lot of money because he had just married a divor- cee with several children. It is also his darkest. most despairing work, with almost no hope." In 1932 Faulkner published Light in August, "gener- ally considered one of his best." In 1933 he came out with Pi/lon, a novel about aviators. "Faulkner was fascinated with flying and wanted to be an aviator himself." Absalom, Absalom!, "which many people con- sider his greatest work," appeared in 1936. "I my- self waver," Waggoner added, "depending on whether I'm in an experimental mood or a more classic one. After this work hisgreat period is over. Most of his major works were written in an eight- year period (1928-1936)." Continuing down the list, Waggoner came to 77ie Unvanquished (1938). "Faulkner needed to make money — he was always needing money — partly because he spent it recklessly and partly be- cause he had a wife and children. Almost all his published letters are asking for money, a new ad- vance. He first published this as a story in the Post and then as a book. It's sort of romantic or idyllic, but I think there's more to it than that." The Wild Palms (1939), he said, is "again a book which I think has not gotten adequate praise. Faulkner experimented all his life. He didn't always succeed, but he kept experimenting. Here he tried what I'm told corresponds to counterpoint in music. He skips back and forth from chapter to chapter and there are literally no connections be- tween the two except for thematic counterpoint. "77)t' Hamlet (1940) is an imperfect work, it seems to me, in a number of ways, but also bril- liant. It's the first time we see the Mark Twain/ Western humor side of him, the teller of tall tales." Go Down, Moses came out in 1942. "I some- times think of that as his last really distinguished work. It's a group of related stories. Then we move into his last period: Intruder in the Dust (1948); K)ught's Gambit (1949) — he tried his hand at short detective stories, thev were not successful; Requi^i for a Nun {'[951); A Fable (1954), which seems to me the only work after his earlv apprenticeship — Mosquitoes — which is really a failure. He worked verv long on it and wanted it to be his major work, but in my opinion," he said gruffly, "it is not. It is supposed to be his final statement on his religious beliefs. Vie Toum (1957) and The Mansion (1959) are part of a trilogy. They take up the people intro- duced in The Hamlet, although it seems to me Tlie Hamlet is much more brilliant and satisfying than the other two. And then his last work, which thankfulh' is an 'up,' I believe. The Reivers. It's a happ\ book and a peaceful book and a funny book. He died the same year. "Now," said the professor, setting the blue list of texts aside, "about the course. I have called it 'William Faulkner: The Shape of A Career' . . . the title is supposed to be revealing. What shape? Why did it take that shape? Can you understand any reason for the sudden greatness of The Sound and the Fury? The why and how of the career as a whole? couliiiiicit CI! page 24 23 'Faulkner is perhaps the last great American writer for a while' "We'll be reading about one work a week, works I've selected from his apprenticeship, the years of his greatest achievement, and the years of his decline. Absalovi, Absnkmi! is pretty hard to read and must be read like a lyric poem. The read- ing load is very heavy, and you'll be doing critical reading in addition. Assuming you haven't read any Faulkner, this is probabh an impossible load. "You might want to think about for your pa- pers the relation of individual works to later works, the relation of his books to his life, his re- gion, his period. Wild Pnliiii' is Faulki^er's answer to -4 Farcuvll to Anm. He reviewed a Hemingway book once and offended him. They finall\' made up and were friendly. When asked about Hem- ingway once in an interview, Faulkner, probably fortified by a few drinks — Faulkner tended to drink quite a bit, particularly before interviews, which he didn't like ver\ much — said, 'Well, Hemingway is a good writer but he's a coward.' Faulkner meant Hemingway was a literary cow- ard, that he learned to do one thing well and kept it up and didn't experiment — but Hemingway heard of it and vowed to shoot Faulkner on sight. "Max Eastman once said to Hemingway, 'Why don't vou take that false hair off vour chest?' The\' were in a men's room and Hemingway knocked him down. Eastman's head hit a urinal and he had to have several stitches taken. "Faulkner was very influenced by the early poems of Eliot, and phrases from the poems crop up throughout his work — you can pick them out. 'P alkner is the family spelling. William added the 'u'. Both his brothers wrote books about William — John changed his name, too; Murray did not. His neighbors and relatives in Mississippi wrote about him and one of his hunting companions wTote a book about him. They would reminisce about Billy: 'He worked in the Post Office for a while, but he refused to sell people stamps . . . said he was too bus\' reading. He got fired after two or three months.' "In studying the shape of a single man's career we can look at the whole question of the na- ture of literary creativity in general. Blotner is the official biographer. Malcolm Cowley in Writers at Work has the best interview Faulkner ever gave, and the reason is that Faulkner vvTote it himself — the questions as well as the answers. He was living with a gal at the time whose father financed The Paris Ra'ieuK She had a job there, of course, and thought she'd take advantage of the situation by interviewing this famous vvTiter. When she asked him, he said, 'Why sure, dear, if you let me con- duct the interview.' And he did. He asked just the right questions and he gave no flippant answers." Waggoner looked up and gave a quick, reflex- ive smile. His voice is something like a burr — it snags you. "If you're going to study with me, 1 suppose you ought to know my biases," he said, and referred us to the Winter 1978 issue of the Seivanee Revieic in which he had reviewed three new books on Hawthorne — and given a blast to several schools of contemporary criticism. The problem with the new criHcism, he said, is that it requires a specialized terminolog}'. "I am often moved by a piece by Mozart, but I couldn't for the life of me explain why I like it, because I don't know the terminolog\-. I just know it gets me right here." He touched his chest. "It is not the purpose of this course to teach you the vocabulary of close critical analysis or new criticism. "I remember reading a very involved close analysis — it ran to four or five pages — of 'Thirty Da\s Hath September', that mnemonic poem to help \ou remember dates," he said, not without some scorn. "Faulkner's favorite American authors were Melville and Mark Twain. Malcolm Cowlev has pointed out similarities between Hawthorne and Faulkner — thematic parallels and also of sensibil- ity, their treatment of a region and the relation of families to that region. It is very possible that As I Lay Di/iiig was influenced by his reading of The Scarlet Letter, but Faulkner never admitted this. "You might ask, 'Why spend a semester studying a single author?' You certainly wouldn't want to do it all the time. Well . . . you can begin to address certain questions. What is the differ- ence between a great work of fiction and a weak one? How do authors create? The two classic ways of looking at it are as a learned skill, which is the Aristotelian approach, or as a divine gift or inspi- ration, which is the Platonic. "What other American authors might have influenced his work?" He glances about the room, inviting replies. He smiles, pauses, and plunges on. "What about Poe? Doesn't Faulkner have some Gothic elements to his work? Mark Twain? The realist/ naturalist tradition of Howells and Frank Norris? That is his tradition, and yet he tran- scends it. Melville? He was the only writer that Faulkner ever honored in the form of a literary pilgrimage. The only picture or decoration on the wall of his study in Oxford was a Rockwell Kent drawing of Ahab. "So you see" — again the hasty smile, a brief invitation — "we have almost the whole of Ameri- can literature of the time. Faulkner is so inclusive. He brings everyone to a head and transcends them. Can fiction go on successfully beyond Faulkner? . . . For me Faulkner is one of the greatest writers America has produced, perhaps the last great one for a while." Sometimes things are most striking in their absence. Without any notes, apart from the carbon copy of a Bookstore order form, Hsatt Waggoner had spoken for almost two hours about William Faulkner. He'd given the class a biography and a booklist for life, and he'd given those from mem- ory, and from love. The class — need it be said? — was enchanted. "Okay, that's it for today," said Hyatt Wag- goner. "Next time we'll discuss Soldier's Pay. Any questions? ' 24 Brown University Annual Gift Report 1977-78 New Five-Year Brown Fund Program Announced Fund to Raise $3.7 Million Annually by 1982-83; 1978-79 Goal of $2,225,000 Set Noting four successive Brown Fund records, the Brown Fund Executive Committee has announced a new five-year program to raise $14.6 million in unrestricted gifts for current operations and to bring the Brown Fund a minimum of $3.7 million annually by 1982-83. Making the announcement jointly were Christine Dunlap Farnham '48 and Robert P. Sanchez '58, Co-Chairmen of the Brown Fund. "Four years ago, the Brown Fund began a program to establish a whole new base of annual support for the Brown Fund. We have been successful in that effort and a new base has now been estab- lished through four record-setting years for the Fund," Mr. Sanchez said. "It is now both appropriate and opportune to look ahead, and we feel confident and excited that the Brown family will respond to this new opportunity." The Brown Fund each year seeks unrestricted gifts for core program needs such as faculty compensation, library acquisitions, financial aid, athletics, and other programs and services essential to the University. "Such core support is absolutely vital to Brown," Mrs. Farnham observed. "The importance of the Brown Fund is under- scored when one realizes that the $3.7 million objective we seek to reach by 1982-83 represents the equivalent income from some $70 million of endowment Brown does not now have. Brown Fund gifts are an integral part of the budget of Brown each year. The funds must be raised to enable Brown to extend the programs from which it has gained its distinction," Henry D. Sharpe Jr. '45, Chairman of the Corporation Com- mittee on Development, expressed great satisfaction with the new Brown Fund goals. "During the next five years, it is imperative for this University to augment substantially its financial and phys- ical plant resources if Brown is to sustain the high quality of its programs and embark on new ventures. Of absolute first priority is the need to increase annual gifts to the Brown Fund this year. This is our primary avenue of attack on the larger need to build a whole new base of support for Brown," he stressed. "This first year of our effort is pivotal," Mr. Sanchez empha- sized. "We have set a 1978-79 goal for the Brown Fund of $2,225,000. That is a stretching 19 percent increase over our record total last year, and it is critical that we take a big leap in this first year of our new program. I know the Brown family has the capac- ity and the will to make that happen. If all members of the Brown family will raise their own individual sights, we will meet our objective. We are asking more contributors to give more," he noted, "and if each of us will do our share - together - we can begin our new program with the kind of success that Brown deierves." "We are especially looking to the reunion classes to lead this new effort," Mrs. Farnham observed. "We are also anticipating a sharp increase in both the number of donors to the fund and in the size of individual gifts. This must happen if we are to reach our objectives for Brown. We need to increase our gift club member- ships as a top priority, and we especially are hopeful that existing members of the giving clubs will consider moving up. A lot of people have been contributing at a steady $100 during each of the past several years. We are looking to these persons to double their gifts in this first yearof our new program. It will take a total effort," she concluded. University Considers Funding Needs Recognizing that the long-term welfare of Brown is critically dependent upon a major infusion of new resources for both cur- rent and capital purposes, the Corporation Committee on Devel- opment under the chairmanship of Flenry D. Sharpe jr. '45 is deeply involved in a careful study of Brown's future funding requirements and in planning for an extended development effort. "Brown has grown in quality and reputation on a very limited financial base," Mr. Sharpe observed, "and now we must sub- stantially augment our resources if we are to remain competitive, extend our achievements, and seize new opportunities. It is Henry D Sharpe jr., chairman of the Corporation Committee on Development.

Imagine what we can do when we are properly lunded'" "We have everything going lor us to make our eflorts a suc- cess," Mr. Sharpe continued: "a superb faculty, a unique curricu- lum, a talented student body, a growing applicant pool, the first balanced budget in a decade, and strong leadership at every level." Mr. Sharpe emphasized three funding goals as having top priority: D Substantially increased gifts to the Brown Fund to support the university's current programs The first year of a new five-year program aimed at bringing Brown Fund gifts to a minimum of $3.7 million by 1982-83 is already under way. (See related story) D Major new endowment resources to provide a secure and lasting financial base. D Improvement of facilities for teaching and learning, which means special funding for renovations and additions to Brown's physical plant. Mr. Sharpe indicated that he has been impressed with the care and thoughttulness given to the study of the uriiversity's pro- grams and funding priorities. FHe specifically cited the year-long study of the physical plant by Dober and Associates of Belmont, Massachusetts, and the extensive study of academic and adminis- trative department and program objectives initiated by President Howard R, Swearer a year ago. The Corporation Committee on Development will particu- larly devote its energies during the coming year to the refinement of Brown's academic and financial needs and to the further eval- uation of the potential sources for funding them. "In this process, we especialK v\ant to involve and to seek the counsel of Brown's key leaders before determining the ultimate nature, timing, and scope of a major extended development effort, " Mr. Sharpe observed. "It is important that we proceed carefully and deliber- att'lv with this process, for the outcome of our efforts will ulti- mateK artecl the very nature and quality of Brow n tor the next quarter-century. I have been pleased with the early responses to our plans and am optimistic that the Brown family will rise to the challenges the University faces in the years ahead." "Our most important and attainable immediate objective," he emphasized, "involves every member of the Brown family this year - and every year. We must not only reach, but surpass the 1978-79 Brown Fund goal of S2,225,OOOin this first cntical stage of our new five-year program to increase the Brown Fund to $3.7 million annualK by 1983 Their help through the Brown Fund in this pivotal year is vital for Brown in setting the standard for our efforts in succeeding years," he stressed. Come spring, dancen, actors, mus/cians, production staff members, and audiences will be using new facilities for the performing arts. Recycling of wortfiy older buildings for theatre and music complexes is progressing steadily, thanks to the Kresge foundation, generous Brown alumni, alumnae, parents, friends, and other foundations and corporations. 1977-78 Brown Fund Sets Record For the fourth successive year, the Brown Fund established a new giving record, raising $1,866,000 according to Bernard I. Fain '52 and Christine Dunlap Farnham '48, national co-chairmen for the 1977-78 effort. In commenting on the Brown Fund achievements of the last four years, Mr. Fain noted that in 1974 "the Development Com- mittee of the University set some very ambitious goals for the Brown Fund. At that time, our base was $727,000. Since then, the fund has grown to $1 ,866,000, and in 1976 it earned the nationally recognized and coveted United States Steel award for improve- ment in such giving. We are pleased that the Brown Fund has raised more than was projected tor the four-year period just con- cluded." Mr. Fain expressed appreciation to the Brown family for making this record possible and to the thousands of volunteers who worked so long and hard to make the Brow n Fund so successful. Through such means as the Reunion Giving Program and the Nicholas Brown Society (seere/atedart/c/es), alumni/ae are giving more generously each year at all levels, and their gifts are the pri- mary reason for the dramatic increases in the fund This is particu- larly evident in the grow ing membership of giving clubs: 72 members of the Nicholas Brown Society ($5,000 or more to the Brown Fund), 396 members of the Manning Fellows ($1,000- $4,999); 520 members of the 1 764 Associates ($500-$999); and 3,367 members of the Century Club ($100-$499). Mrs. Farnham joined Mr. Fain in praising all who gave to the Brown Fund. As she put it, "The entire Brown family can be proud of what is happening at the University and of their role in four suc- cessive Brown Fund records. When you realize that the Brown Fund totals last year were equal to the income on nearly $40,000,000 of endowment, the impact of the fund on the vitality of the University becomes very clear." Funding for Medical Program Grows Fundraising for the Medical Education Program continues near the projected pace. The Medical Annual Fund, which takes receipts over the calendar year, but conducts active solicitation in the spring, profnises to yield about $190,(XX) in 1978, almost $30,000 above the 1977 giving level. Much of the success of the essentially local Medical Annual Fund owes to the strong leadership of W. Irving Wolf, jr. (general chairman) and William Fleisler, 5rd (major gifts chairman). Both are friends of Brown and did much to project the "medical school" as a community project deserving of com- munity support. The 1978 Medical Annual Fund was also aided significantly by a new slide-tape show emphasizing the benefits to Rhode Island of the medical program. The show was presented to Brown as a gift from Fern-FHanaway Advertising Agency, Inc. A goal of $225,000 has been set for the 1979 Medical Annual Fund, which will have Andrew Hunt '5 1 as its general chairman. Medical development activities relating to the national scene are currently concentrating on foundations, corporations, and government sources. Efforts to secure additional support from individuals through deferred giving plans are encouraging. Overall gifts and grants to medicine (excluding bequests and trusts) from private sources totalled $718,000 in 1977-78. Government grants and contracts for research and programs totalled $1 ,462,1 31 (excluding $900,000 from the State of Rhode Island and $276,000 which comes as a capitation entitlement from the federal government). This performance is seen as a good base from which to build a still stronger giving program for medicine in the future. Wetherbee Gifts Challenge and Strengthen Brown Harold B. Wetherbee '25 joined the staff of the Flint Cotton Mills, Inc., in Albany, Georgia, immediately following his graduation from Brown. He was soon president of the company ,m(\ c hair- man of its board of directors, posts he held until his rec ent retire- ment. For more than fifty years Mr. Wetherbee has been one of Albany's most distinguished civic leaders and a philanthropist of vision and sensitivity. To inspire his Brown classmates, Harold Wetherfjee, following the fiftieth reunion of his class, offered a challenge; if they would substantially increase their support of Brown, he would match their gifts over a five-year period, on a dollar-for-dol- lar basis, up to a maximum of $50,(XM annually. The men of the class of 1925 have responded enthusiastically, increasing their Brown Fund gifts in the past three years by sixty-eight percent. More recently, Mr. Wetherbee and his wife established the permanently endowed Harold and Sara Wetherbee Fund at Brown. The annual income from this splendid endowment will provide financial aid to students or will support tac ulty members on sabbatical leave. Looking to the future, the Wetherbees have given to the governing board of Brown the authority to ap()ly the income or principal of their fund to other purposes should changed conditions at some future date warrant such action. The Wetherbees' concern for Brown, expressed through their generous gifts and scholarship endowment, will continue to be appreciated at the University for many years to come.

Nicholas Brown Society Celebrates Second Year The Nicholas Brown Society continued to play a critical role in the record performance of the Brown Fund. Inaugurated in 1 977, the society was established to honor those who provide pacesetting gifts of $5,000 or more to the Brown Fund and/or the Medical Annual Fund. There were fifty-seven charter members of the society in 1976-77. Last year, membership rose to seventy-two. Of these, forty-one were people who had renewed their membership and thirty-one were new members of the society. Alumni and alumnae of classes celebrating special reunions found the society particularly appealing. Membership in Brown's most prestigious giving club is avail- able on an annual basis to those who contribute $5,000 or more to the Brown Fund and/or the Medical Annual Fund. The drive co- incides with the university's fiscal year and is conducted annually between )uiy 1 and |une 30. Kresge Foundation Grant Paces Corporate and Foundation Gifts Gifts to Brown from private foundations totalled $2.3 million in 1977-78, a healthy eleven percent increase over the prior year. Set- ting the pace in foundation gifts was the grant of $900,000 from the Kresge Foundation, which fulfilled its challenge-grant pledge made several years ago. The Kresge grant together with the money raised in the successful challenge-fund drive, led by Isabelle Leeds, will provide new and renovated facilities for the performing arts at Brown. Construction will be completed this year. The Commonwealth Fund extended its program of support for Brown's unique program in medicine with a payment of $300,000 on its earlier-announced grant of $1 .2 million. The grant provides funds to support interface programs intended to bridge the gap between premedical and medical education. Corporate gifts to Brown again passed the million- dollar level and included a record $149,883 in corporate matching gifts. Six of Brown's ten largest corporate gifts were designated for Brown's distinctive medical education program. Members of the Brown family are increasingly taking advan- tage of the opportunity to extend the impact of their own gifts through corporate matching gift programs. Some 272 corporations made gifts to Brown last year.

A signifi- cant component of this growth can be attributed to the success of the reunion giving program begun in 1974. Under the provisions of this program, members of reunion classes are asked once every five years to make a substantially larger gift to the Brown Fund — gifts ranging from three to five times the amount customarily given — to celebrate and express anew the importance of Brown to them. Reunion classes represent some twenty percent of the Brown alumni/ae family, but in recent years they have contributed as much as thirty-three percent of the Brown Fund support from alumni and alumnae. During 1977-78, reunion classes contributed some $41 7,796 to the Brown Fund and total gifts of $621 ,01 8. "Reunion giving will surely continue to set the pace for the Brown Fund each year," commented Curtis F. Kruger '53, chair- man of alumni reunion giving. Phyllis Baldwin Young '45 chairman of alumnae reunion giving concurred, noting, "As Brown embarks on a new five-year program to increase the Brown Fund to $3.7 million annually by 1982-83, we especially look to the leadership of the reunion classes to set the pace." Bequests and Trusts Program Flourishes In 1977-78 Brown received just over $1.1 million from the bequests of appreciative alumni, alumnae, parents, friends, and participants in the Retained Life Income Program. Nearly $600,000 of this came from the estates of 38 individuals. Bequests ranged from several hundred dollars to $1 30,000. Starting about a decade ago and continuing to the present, half of the gifts made by individuals to Brown have come from bequests or life income funds contributed to the University. According to a recent will survey, Brown is to benefit eventually from known testamentary provisions well in excess of $15,000,000. Nineteen alumni, alumnae and other friends made additions to or established retained life income plans through Brown's Pooled Life Income Trust Fund, Charitable Remainder Unitrusts, Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts, and the Balanced Pooled Income Fund. The latter, newly established in 1977, invites partici- pation by donors interested in a projected capital growth of their gift and an anticipated annual income return in the range of five or six percent. The Pooled Life Income Trust Fund, established in 1970, has been earning in the range of eight percent. Contribu- tions to the four trust funds last year totalled nearly $530,000. This brings to $4.2 million the total of outstanding retained life income commitments to Brown. Cordon Cadwgan '36 and Ruth Harris Wolf '41 have assumed leadership of the Bequests and Trusts Committee, succeeding Penelope Hartland-Thunberg '40 and Bancroft Littlefield '34 whose terms expired in June 1977. Mr. Cadwgan, an alumnus trustee from 1959 to 1966, has been a Fellow since 1966 and is a former chairman of the Development Council. FHe spends count- less hours seeking support for Brown throughout the country and with his wife. May, participates in the Bequests and Trusts Program. Mrs. Wolf has been active in Pembroke and Brown aliairs for many years and served as an alumna trustee from 1972-77. She is a past national co-chairman of the Brown Fund and has been on the board of directors of the Associated Alumni. She and Mr. Cadwgan are both members of the Corporation Committee on Development. • I Ruth Harris Wolf '41, national co-chairmen Program The Nicholas Brown Society 1977-78 Members Robert |.

She had brought a sheaf of her work and sought free-lance illustration assignments. Since then her renderings of campus buildings have appeared among the class notes and her illustrations have ac- companied numerous features and On Stage pieces — most recently her drawings of Thayer Street in the Oc- tober BAM. Last summer Barbara, a studio art major who hails from Dallas, was selected for a choice — and richly un- paid — internship in the art and production depart- ment oi Rolling Stone magazine. "It was my first time in the city and I was living alone," she says. "I didn't know where to start, but I didn't want to stay locked up in my apartment when there was so much going on." By the end of the summer Barbara was hooked, and she plans to return to New York after her gradua- tion. Her career plans? To get a job with a magazine in art and production and to do free-lance illustration — "to support my illustration habit." This year at Brown, Barbara, who may be seen at times with paint in her hair, a) is graphics director of Issues, a monthly magazine in tabloid form produced by undergraduates; b) does camera work for the Brown Daily Herald on Monday and Thursday nights; c) works in the slide room for the art department; d) works as a projectionist for a course; e) does free-lance illustra- tion; f) studies occasionally; g) does all of the above. On these pages, she tells the story in words and illustrations of her New York summer. D.S.

New York City is certainly a zoo, but I must admit to having developed a special fondness for the animals. Like rats, people scurry through the maze of shops, restaurants, and streets. For me. Rolling Stone was the big cheese. In the art department there, staff and editors alike waltz into the office at 10:30 for a leisurely look at the day's mail. At 1, they one-by-one disappear to their lunch engagements, often not to return until 3. Layouts circulate between design and pro- duction. The waxer rolls, the cameras hum, and by 5, it's time to order down to Park Lane Liquors for a bottle of champagne to celebrate the coming of evening. Different music blasts from each of the stereos strategically located throughout the office, and miraculously a cover is agreed upon. Late into the deadline nights, the sections of the magazine magically come together. 34 Knozving how a sardine feels The pre-publishing crowd of Brown had descended upon the citv, and we prided ourselves at having representatives at all of the key magazines and publishing houses. In order to keep abreast of all developments in the industry, we met regularly at the little restaurants and bars to discuss jobs, movies, and the relative values of the dollar, the yen, and the subway token. The quantity of open cafes makes one feel as if in an- other country. In fact, I believe most New Yorkers would tell you that Man- hattan is a separate continent in itself. Certainly New York Cit^■ possesses inexhaustible cultural resources, though I caught most of them only at a distance. At the Newport Jazz Festival I was thir- teen rows from the top of Carnegie Hall. The expanse of heads that separated me from the performers, who my ticket as- sured me were present on the distant stage, reminded me of the incredible masses that call this city "home." That night I was above the crowds, but on the streets I often felt my space in- fringed upon. 35 No newspapers, but a filial cJiainpagne party For the most part, a sense of awe and euphoria carried me between movies and work, work and concerts. Neverthe- less, I occasionally felt the need for a cold dose of reality. Inevitably the prescription entailed making an appointment with the art director of a publication that I selected from a perusal of the local newspaper stand. With portfolio in tighth' clenched hand, I made the long hot subway ride to hear another chorus of "don't call us, we'll call vou." A covey of illustrators seems to have nested in New York and a free- lance job was harder to come by than a ticket to "Interiors." While I patiently climbed each of the walls in my apart- ment, the phone finallv rang with an assignment from the Niiv York Tiiiicf (before the strike). Sailors when they first cross the equator traditionalK' pierce an ear. I too felt as if I had made a crossing, so I promptly went to the first jewelry store I could find that "pierces ears for free" in celebration of the breakthrough. Come mid- August the newspaper strike became a living nightmare. Consequently I spent manv a sleepless night, my hands tied and my pen clogged. I thought the city would go into sheer panic, far worse than an\- of the "blackout" ram- pages. But new publications were appearing everywhere, and New Yorkers were reading anything they could get their hands on. The summer ended on a festive note, with a tremendous part\- held in celebration of the art director's, and coinciden- tally my, birthday. The twenty-third floor patio overlooking Central Park was filled with champagne and pate, baguettes and brie. The editors and staff mingled on the confettied floor. After saying my goodbyes and grabbing a few extra copies of the latest issue as souvenirs, I left the Rolling Stone offices for my Providence apartment, the New York streets for the Rockefeller Library stacks. 36 5i, s a D oa iHo M QQQQDdQQ aGQOf SB5Se9 aaaaas ggfiBBB aessss 955853 Q9 QQOOOdDSOd BIJBOII D OJ J JnjJOD JO C > — -vip D u u V u V u QOa U QQfl ijii ooOOOQ flfl aQAflfllOOllDOOOQ HQOflQOil mm JOMMSlIl First impressions "I t was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Some of us look back on the beginning of our freshman year with nostalgic fondness, others with fear and loathing; emotions seem to run higher then than at any other time in college. Out of curiosity, we interviewed five members of the class of '82 to find out how the current crop of freshmen is taking it. We can't claim to have found a representative sampling — there probably is no such animal anyway — but we thought they represented themselves ver\' well. And judging from their feelings about this place after the first two weeks of classes. Brown makes a pretty good first im- pression. "I'm really excited — nervous, but excited," said Peter Roberts, 17, of Westport, Conn. "Being on your own makes a big difference. You have so many choices, and that can be tough — especially the social choices, like alcohol and drugs — but it's really fun to take responsibility and be independent." Peter chose Brown over Williams be- cause the latter, being smaller and more isolated and more homogeneous, "would have been like an extension of high school — too much securit)'." Others had made similar choices for similar reasons: Cheryl Perez, 18, a graduate of Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Connecticut (where she was one of twelve black students out of 300), decided against going to Brandeis because "I didn't want to spend another four years not getting a cross-section of all kinds of people." Alyson Perry, 18, chose Brown over Smith because "there's a lot more to do at Brown than play field hockey." She had attended a tiny (175 students) all-girls' school near Cleveland. "My high school icas Smith," she said. "My parents didn't want me to go to an all-girls' college." Randy Pausch's parents, on the other hand, didn't want him to go to an Ivy school at all — at first. "My father hates Ivy Leaguers on principle," he said. "He told me, 'Don't become an Ivy League snot.' But there was no question that if I got into Brown I'd go there — for my needs, it's the best school in the countrv. And my parents were thrilled that 1 got in " Rand\', 18, a native of Baltimore, plans to major in computer science, but decided he wanted a broader education than he'd get at schools like RPl or MIT. Amy Prestas, 20, from Barrington, Rhode Island, had been out of school and on her own for a couple of years before coming to Brown; an avid horsewoman, she had spent a year as a working pupil at the Windmill Hill Riding Academy in Sh-atford-on- Avon, England. Going to college in her home state doesn't bother her. "I'd already been around, so it doesn't much matter where 1 go, and Brown is definitely an excellent school. I like the fact that you can explore and take all dif- ferent courses." Everyone we talked to was taking advantage of Brown's curricular free- dom to "shop around" — Peter, for example, was taking courses in chemis- tiy, Russian literature, religious studies, and sociolog\-; Chervl in psvchology, Spanish, history, and English; and so forth — and to try out different grading options. "I discovered that pass-fail isn't another word for Communist takeover," Randy said. "Taking a course S/NC doesn't mean you don't work." And everyone was more or less satisfied with the courses he'd chosen: some courses were genuinelv exciting, others were duds (like the honors cal- culus course where the professor could "barely speak English"), but everyone seemed to feel he had achieved a good mix. Individual assessments of the workload and academic pressure varied widely, though. Peter wasn't feeling pressured at all — "The work's not so bad, and there's so much free time compared to high school." But Alyson, who was taking courses in math, Eng- lish, Spanish, and music theory, felt like she had "a lot of work. There's so many things I'd like to participate in, but 1 don't know if I have the time." Those who could find the time had signed up for an impressive range of ac- tivities. Amy plays French horn in the Brown orchestia and was trying out for the women's crew — which works out six days a week, two hours a day, includ- ing running up and down the hill on Waterman Stieet sbc times. Peter was involved with Jericho, an organization that works with adolescents in Rhode Is- land's prisons and mental-health in- stitutions, and had joined the ping- pong club. Randy was looking to start a chess team at Brown and organize Ivy League chess competitions, when he wasn't taking advantage of the Brown computer's "Star Trek" program ("one 38 :iAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN BOARD ^ii«»-*,v-.. of the best in the country"). "I wanted to join WBRU-FM, because I'd worked as a deejay in high school, but I discov- ered it's basically a professional radio station that exists to make money, not to train students," he said. Generally, Brown got highest marks for its people — students, facul- ty, administrators, even the people who dish out the food in the Ratty. "The other kids are really interesting, nice, and friendly," Alyson said, "and people here are really willing and anxious to help you." Randy echoed that, saying, "Everybody is out to help under- graduates. The professors even hand out their home phone numbers." He was most impressed, though, by the fact that "there's no pressure to con- form. People are very tolerant here, and I'm becoming more tolerant myself — it's turning me around." Cheryl had really enjoyed Third World Transition Week — a pre- oricntation week for Brown's minoritv students, which made it easy to meet and get to know people. But she de- murred about the overall friendliness of Brown students. "I'm used to smiling and saying hello to strangers when I pass them," she said, "but here they don't respond. A lot of people seem to be wrapped up in being Brown students — they feel special. The other day I overheard a mailman talking to a group of construction workers on campus, and he asked them what the students here were like. They said, 'Some of them are all right, but most are prettv stuck up — because thev go to Brown and \'ou don't.' " Other complaints ranged from bu- reaucratic inefficiency and red tape to Frisbee in the hallways at 3 a.m. to freshman girls' apparent preference for dating upperclassmen — a familiar litany. Amy was getting tired of fresh- man drinking bouts in her dorm. "One kid on my hall got really drunk one night and started banging on our neighbor's door and yelling. All of a sudden he stopped — he was in our bathroom, getting sick. It was disgust- ing." Peter was a little disappointed that he hadn't found a girlfriend his first day at Brown, but he was feeling optimistic about his prospects. Surprisingly, no one had any real roommate complaints; a couple of people had even hit it off famously with their roommates. Nor did anyone register a protest about Ratty food or Providence weather, the old staples of freshman discontent. In fact, if the five students we talked to are an\' indication, freshman discontent may be at an all-time low. Cheryl seemed to sum up her own and her classmates' feelings when she said, "I like Brown a lot, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Reall\-, I'm having such a good time here, I can't believe it — I keep thinking that one of these days I'm going to walk out and get hitby a Mack truck." /.P. 39 mitten by jay Barry nCuy F. afford celebrated his 90th birthday May 29 in Bradenton, Fla.

Earlier it had been raining, and large puddles still lay in the streets. A few solitary birds twittered in the cool pre- dawn air. With forty years of practice in his gesture, like a pro quarterback cocking his arm and lofting a pass, a motion so natural as to seem a genehc inheritance, Morris 'Doc' Malakoff '31 reached for the phone. Forty years informed his hushed, hurried ques- tions, his hastv robing, his quick drive to Mercy Hospital. Doc rushed through his cus- tomary — and waiting — coffee, changed into sterile surgical garb, and, this night, per- formed an emergency Caesarean section. When the operation was over. Doc Malakoff had more coffee and went on home. He is sixty-eight and has been doing this sort of thing for over forty years. In that time, he figures he's delivered about 13,000 babies. Laredo Is a small town no longer. Well, one might ask, how did a boy from the middle of the Hudson Valley in New York who graduated from Brown at the height of the Depression, who worked nights at a garage in Manhattan to earn money for medical school and studied days for a mas- ter's degree from NYU in bacteriology, who did go on to medical school and trained as an obstetrician with Dr. Joseph B. DeLee at Chicago's Maternity Center — how did this son of Russian-Jewish immigrants who spoke 110 Spanish and didn't know an en- chilada from a tamale settle in Laredo? "We stopped here on our honeymoon for a Coke," he said. With his new bride, Frances, a nurse he'd met at the Maternity Center, Doc Malakoff was traveling to the lower Rio Grande Valley to look over a pos- sibilit)' for a practice there. "There had been two doctors who had died recently in Laredo," Doc recalled, "and we decided to stop in and look around. The town was at that time 95 percent Catholic, with no con- traception and a high birth rate. Living was extremely inexpensive. There were seven- teen physicians, a bunch of old ones, and nobod\' with a specialty In obstetrics." When he finished his training in Chica- go, Doc moved to Laredo. He rented a small cubicle office in a building off Laredo's main square, and waited. "The seat of my blue serge suit got shiny while I was reading med- ical literature waiting for patients to come," he said. "But I did my first appendectomy before I'd been in town two months. Until I 42 came in 1938 nobody in town knew how to fit a diaphragm; I brought contraception with me." When Doc Malakoff — and everyone, including his wife, four children, and eight grandchildren, calls him Doc — came, Laredo had one hospital run bv the Sisters of Mercy and a muster of granny midwives. Be- fore too long. Doc was the "front man" for every obstetrical emergency within seventy- five miles. "1 was up to 500-600 deliveries a year, in addition to my regular practice, even before I had a partner," he said. Doc has served as chairman of the county medical society "six or seven times," and as head of the hospital staff about the same. "In a small town," he remarked, "we just take our turn." For thirteen years he served on the state medical society's Committee on Maternal Health. "Whenever there was a maternal death from San Antonio to Del Rio to Brownwood to Corpus Christi I would go to inveshgate, because somehow a maternal death is more ghastly than any other kind." For twenty-four years Doc has been chair- man of the county Child Welfare Unit. Since a political machine of ninety years' duration was ousted last spring. Doc now has senior- ity as having the longest term of office (he was appointed by the county judge) in a non-salaried job in Laredo. Doc also started the first methadone program in Laredo, "and you can imagine it was over everyone's dead body," he said. "1 had mothers I'd delivered ringing the bell at my back door and saying, 'I don't know what to do — my son's a her- oin addict.' We now have seventy-seven people in the program with an earning power of $350,000 a year instead of stealing $5 million a year worth of goods." Doc Malakoff is a compact man whose healthy, tanned looks belie his years. In his free time — he usually works ten days and ten nights and then "disappears" for four — he likes to hunt and fish. He has keys, from his patients, to most of the big ranches in the county and has a condominium on the beach at Port Aransas on the Gulf of Mexico. He also owns his own ranch: 1,400 acres with 125 registered Charolais cattle. "We were the biggest amateur ranchers from Brooklyn," he said. "I got interested in raising cattle when 1 saw the King of Italy's herds while going up the Italian peninsula during World War 11." Doc served in the Armv from 1942 to 1946 as chief of surgery of the 3rd Convalescent Hospital and was at times on assignment to the 2nd Auxiliarv Surgery Group. "It was a M.A.S.H.-type group working without a hospital to take care of the non-transportable wounded, those so badly wounded or in shock that to move them would be to kill them," he explained. Doc's voice is gravelly and rough, a scrubbrush amidst the juniper and cedars. When Doc came to Brown he was, he said, a si.\teen-vear-old kid from a country high school. "It was a great shock to me that I After a busy day, Doc Malakoff relaxes at dinner in Nuevo Laredo. wasn't the smartest boy in the class . . . This was in the time when bootleggers used to come up to Brown or the Coast Guard fel- lows would sell the confiscated liquor in the dorms. There were no automatic cuts at chapel, which affected me bitterly," he grinned. Doc rises at 5:30 every morning — bar- ring a middle-of-the-night emergency — and stays up fairly late. "I sleep twice as fast as Frances," he said, "so I don't have to go to bed as early." He goes on rounds at the hos- pital, then to his office, and sees patients at a clinic in the middle of the day. For many years, Laredo had fewer than thirty physi- cians for a population of 70,000, Doc said. Now there are forty-seven, sbc of them trained in obstetrics. Doc's patients come from both sides of the border — Nuevo Laredo is a city of 250,000 and about 20 percent of Doc's pa- tients live there. Many Mexican nationals will cross the border to give birth — because obstetrical facilities are better and because their children then will have the opportunity to become United States citizens. In his office and on his rounds. Doc speaks "Tex-Mex Brooklsn. The language is 80 percent Spanish and 20 percent English," he said. "They speak well and 1 speak poorly." Laredo has no public medicine, Doc ex- plained. The city puts in only about $60,000 a \ear to pay for care for indigent residents (and Laredo has the highest unemployment rate in the United States). Consequently, neither Doc nor the Catholic hospital will turn patients away. "Oh, my accountant gets upset when he tells me I have $250,000 or $300,000 in outstanding bills," Doc said, "but what are you going to do in a community where they have no other choice? People need you more here. If someone comes in the office, we don't turn them away." Though he may talk of slowing down. Doc's words are empt\-. He thrives on his work, though he confided that he's a bit tired of keeping up with the literature. "Here I am, sbity-eight years old, and I'm still doing homework," he complained. "When does it end?" Last summer he had just received word that funding for a separate teenage clinic and counseling program had come through. "At any given time there are eleven million pregnant teenagers in the U.S.," he said. "The dangers of the pill are highly exaggerated when you compare them to the dangers of teenage pregnancy, the mortality rates." Doc someday hopes to set up a pre- natal clinic across from the hospital staffed by certified nurse-midwives and social workers, who would refer the high-risk cases to phy- sicians. At the end of a long da\'. Doc leaned back and puffed on a large cigar. "If I'd gone to New York," he reflected, "I'd have had a coronar)' by now. I would not have had half the fun and would not have been able to ac- complish half as much. I think doctors are egocentric people," he said, smiling. "Noth- ing boosts the ego as much as walking out and talking to all the people waiting for a baby." D.S. 43 & Bowles Advertising, New York City.
