An America in which furnaces die, trains jolt to a stop, lights go off, and factories cease to hum— who wants that? But with imagination, our coun- try can shift from today's heavy dependence on petroleum to a lesser dependence and thence in the next century to exotic fuels like solar energy. At Mobil, we're working to smooth the transi- tion. While trying to make solar energy competi- tive in price through a $30-million research program, we'll be helping mine America's vast coal reserves, and we have high hopes for our new process converting coal-derived methanol directly into gasoline. Meanwhile, we're accel- erating the search for petroleum. A leader in de- veloping new Gulf of Mexico oil and natural gas, we also discovered the largest oil field in the North Sea. plus one of the world's biggest gas fields in Indonesia. And we have imaginative new ventures in oil-rich Saudi Arabia, But even with business imagination, there won't be ample energy without sound energy policy.

In the better than a year's time since our GISP took place, I have had the opportunity to evaluate it, both as a student and as a working woman, and I can honestly say that our GISP was the most valuable, intellectu- ally stimulating, exhilarating experience of my academic career. I realize, moreover, that without the assistance of a few dedicated feminist professors — one of whom was not rehired by Brown — the GISP could never have taken place. In planning the GISP, we determined that in order to scratch the surface of the wealth of knowledge that exists in Women's Studies, we would have to study two books each week. We accomplished this by divid- ing the group, having each half read one of the books, and then convening the entire group with a coordinator to guide the dis- cussion. Never, in my academic experience, have so many overextended students, some of them thesis-ridden, put off work in regularly scheduled courses to read not only the GISP book they chose, but the one the other half was reading as well! At long last, we had found what learning was all about — twelve weeks of mind expansion that made us want to explore more and more, then argue and refine until all hours of the night. Not once did our class end "on time," because no one seemed to know or care what time it was. In short, we had finally hit upon the intense, growing experience \ve had come to Brown in search of. But, alas, one major regret remains: for me and for most of the others, this epiphany arrived much too late. We found our niche and five months later, we graduated. The sadness of this fact cannot be ade- quately expressed. To know that after casting around from subject to subject for three years, I finally hit upon an unforgettable and unlimited intellectual stimulation that could have been mine for four years — if it had only been offered — is to resent the Brown curriculum for depriving me and all of its students of this most valuable subject area. Each year that passes is another year that Brown has failed to provide for its stu- dents what, for me, is the essence of what an education is all about and the essence, as well, of Women's Studies: an eclectic critical analysis of society and culture and the explo- ration of how we, as individuals, can work to make it better. SUSAN RITZ '78 NiTc YorV City Editor; As a liberated man, married to a liberated professional woman, I feel that I may dare to say halt to Women's Studies at Brown. The disaggregation of disciplines should be based on certain a priori unique- ness of experience rather than current trends and fashions. I quite agree with Laura Durand's suggestion that the title "Women's Studies" be dropped from anv proposed program; however, I would go further and establish specific courses on women in existing de- partments using existing staff. Just as one would study Renaissance literature, one could study female authors of the twentieth century. This would make operational Ms. Durand's hope that the program would not be solely a feminist consciousness activity. DANNY M. LEIPZIGER '73 Ph.D. Waslimgtoii, D.C. Editor: In her recent essay in Point of View, Professor Durand was much too modest in her goals. She need not struggle with a title for her program; by right of being the majoritv' in society, the women's pro- gram could become "Brown University" rel- egahng the search for a title to the remainder of the academic program. Funding is simi- larly a problem only for those who remain hopelessly mired in the muck of the preju- dices of the last century . . . simply cut fund- ing of all other departments by 55 percent to represent their lessened importance in this century. Since salaries to faculty represent a major portion of the University budget and previous contracts prevent termination of the now superfluous teachers |of| calculus, biol- ogy, music, and art, perhaps simply paying the male members of these obsolete depart- ments every other month would go a long way toward achieving the goal. The female **lt is not in my nature to give interviews!' The only private interview that Leonid Brezhnev ever gave to American joumalists, he gave to TIME Magazine. "Given the importance of the relations between our two countries," he said, "and the solid reputation of your magazine, I decided to take advantage of your request to answer TIME'S questions. " An apt demonstration of one of TIME's most extraor- dinary attributes: the ability, through such exclusive inter- views as those with Soviet Party Chief Brezhnev and China's Vice Premier Deng, to present aspects of the news not avail- able anywhere else. And it demonstrates, also, TIME's authority and leader- ship—as newspapers around the world quoted excerpts of the conversation; as statesmen and readers scanned the columns of TIME for new insights into the Soviet leader. Above all, it demonstrates TIME's unmatched editorial quality. Another reason why TIME has earned more loyal readers, by far, around the world than any other single news source.

Whereas Black Studies programs with- ered in this decade, this can be ascribed to the inability of blacks to change from a minority to a majority within society rather than to any lack of intellectual content of such programs. Such a problem would never afflict the Women's Studies Program, as women already constitute a majority. Perhaps, if conditions prove too odious for those who insist that Brown University devote its energies to education within the society as a whole, the remainder of the academic program might be allowed to branch off and form a separate, partially self-governing enhty . . . perhaps called Pembroke College, but at all times partici- pants within such a minority-oriented pro- gram would be well advised to know their places in the new world. G. MEADORS III '66 Frederick, Md. Editor: Please record my affirmative vote for Laura Durand's proposal for a Women's Studies program at Brown. In her April BAM article, she notices the frequent issue: "whv women studied sepa- rately?" One answer is: to give women de- served equal time. I have been a teacher of Renaissance literature for six years, a student of it for much longer. The fact is that men are studied separately in literature of the Renais- sance and always have been. Until the recent publication of women writers of the Renais- sance in anthology form, the only awareness undergraduates have ever had of Shake- speare's contemporaries was an awareness of men writers. If we can have taught exclu- sively men's writing for so long, may we not now teach exclusively women's writing even for a little while? PENNY PICKETT '74 Ph D. Washington, D.C. From a graduateperson Editor; 1 was not shocked, |ust disap- pointed, to find the folder from the nominat- ing committee of the Associated Alumni signed bv Robert A. Fearon '51, chair^vrson. I'm sure that none of us doubts Mr. Fearon's manhood, but this form of signature certainly leaves manv doubts about the sur- vival of the English language at Brown. The holder of such a "chair" is a chair- man — without regard to sex. If the holder is a woman, perhaps "chairwoman" would do no violence to the language — although chairman would still be preferable. In Mr. Fearon's case, it obviously is. The next thing we know we'll be having "chairgirl," "chairboy" and, God forbid, "chairchild. " Oh, come on now, NOW. Lay off the language. At least at Brown. VVINTHROPC. FANNING '41 (Graduateperson!

The ob- ject was to point out current situahons that ultimately affect Brown University. For over two hundred vears Brown has generously served its students with knowl- edge and wisdom so that they can recognize and adjust to the changes in society. At this particular time it is the economic situahon that demands of students, faculty, and alumni their understanding and cooperahon. Brown's objectives have not faltered in spite of the impediments of inflation and other fac- tors of the economic bind. May I suggest that we all express more tolerance in confronting these conditions? Brown has had to undergo a period of retrenchment. Let all alumni and alumnae get on the Brown wagon and do what we can to make Brown a still better University. I believe that every gesture of good will from all segments of the University will even- tually be translated into proper action. Brown is in good hands. Let's get going! KILGORE MACFARLANE, JR.

Editor: The April 1979 Brown Alumni Monthly arhcle, "Religious Revival on Cam- pus?," indicated that with one possible ex- ception, the events described involve a re- newal in religious, or spiritual, feeling rather than renewed enthusiasm for fe)rmal "Judeo-Christian" doctrine. Readers should be informed that in contrast to the situation on campus, there is occurring an organic fu- sion of spiritual impulse and stated ideals in the fast-strengthening undercurrent of in- terest in our original pre-Christian Indo- European religious outlook now progressing in Europe and North America. Our native Indo-European "World View," or Life ConcepHon, is enjoying a powerful resurgence among many people today, and this phenomenon is causing an instaurahon, or recommencement, of the spiritual/mental evolution of a massive group of individuals, although it has not yet been consciously realized or systematized.

For centuries, the nahve Indo-European World View has been neglected and virtually forgotten, but an upsurge has begun, and for those Brown students, faculty, and alumni interested in discovering more about this subject, I recommend the foremost publica- tion on Aryan folk-ideas. The Odintsl, which appears every 6-8 weeks and costs $5 per year. (Box 1647, Crystal River, Fla. 32629). The term "Odinist" derives from Odin, the name of the chief Indo-European god, and The Odinist concerns itself with contempor- ary and future aspects of pan-Aryan folk- belief, and encompasses the religious viewpoints of Scandinavians, Teutons, Anglo-Saxons, Celts, etal. To better understand the inner impul- sions, intuitions, and inclinations unique to Indo-Europeans and to bettor appreciate TTic Odinist, those interested should read two particular books. The first is Prof. Hans F. K. Gunther's Rehgious Attitudes of the Indo- Luropeans. a 127-page volume available for $4 from lAR Books, Box 6414, Lincoln, Neb. 68506. The second is Prof. Duren J. H. Ward's obscure but important book, A Re- eeivershipt for Cii'ilizntion (Boston: Four Seas Publ. Co., 1922). Professor Ward founded the anthropology department at Harvard University, and later distributed copies of his book to public and college libraries through- out the U.S. and Europe. From the above sources, one will be surprised and enlightened to learn that the natural and genuine culture oi Aryan Man, of Western Civilization, is not Judeo- Christianit\' (actually an Oriental ideology to- tally alien to our inbred Indo-European soul-strivings), but Odinism, the religion of Aryan Heroic Vitalism (active courage before Destiny) and biodynamic evolution. This realization is spreading and kind- ling a profound revolution in thought and feeling throughout the Indo-European race, and it is hoped that the references I've fur- nished will enable those associated with Brown University to be in the forefront of this remarkable upsurge. VV. J. GUILLAUME '65 Deni'er, Coh. Editor: I was pleased to read your report of a religious revival on campus {BAM, Ap- ril). This article echoes voices from all over the Ivy League noting a resurgence of reli- gious presence on campus. I became a Chris- tian while at Brown and have done much reflecting on the experience of going through Brown as a Christian. One of the quintessential characteristics of religion is that it deals with the truth. Not truth in general, but assertions believed by the adherents to be The Truth. Religion deals with answers; it presumes that we ask questions because the answers are obtaina- ble, and that once these answers are ap- prehended, a certain pattern of action is called for. This is a universal way of thinking, and indeed most of us grow up this way. But something happens along the way to adult- hood, and, either through indoctrination, disillusionment, or temptation, we gain the false impression that nt) answers are to be expected or obtained, and that it is more adult to content oneself with a life with no answers. We thrust out our chins in the face of ignoble fate, and a very dashingly existen- tial figure we may try to be. Such an impression is potentiated by the Brown curriculum. Its whole emphasis is on seeking, inquiring, asking, all the while with the tacit presumption that no answers will really be obtained, that anyone who discov- ers the truth must be overlooking something. Nowhere at Brown does the student receive any preparation to find an answer, and there is no course which educates the student in how to respond to truth once they have laid hold of it. This elemental way of thinking is more important, I think, than "honest" intel- lectual inquiry, and the Brown student is taught to think it foolish and childlike. Skep- ticism, he learns, is the only noble attitude. Thus the commitment to inquiry at Brown is really only half-hearted, because it is conceived of as a means with no end. Brown has limited itself, in this age where no moral consensus exists, to pursuit only of the intellect. In doing so it has abdicated a great opportunity to educate its students com- pletely, to equip them with that which will 'JZX Congenial Gathering Places KTOEI-V for vacationing, wining and dining in Ivy League Country BERMUDA Ont of Bermuda's finest cottage colonies on 1 8 acres in fastiionable Tucker's Town.

A curriculum which cannot address moral matters, which falters in its rigorous pursuit of truth at the last moment, and which addresses itself principally to the intellect, can never make peopk\i;i)iii^; it can only make them clever. The relative value of goodness and clever- ness, to a society whose very survival is now called into serious question, should be obvi- ous. Amidst the quietism, narcissism, and materialism of the pagan culture in which we live, the resurgence of religion on the cam- pus heralds the return, in at least those who are involved, of the values of allocentric liv- ing, self-denial, and virtues other than ma- terial comfort. The objections to the "feel- good" Christianity of modern charismatic movements do not take into account their evangelical nature; that is, that the personal relationship with God is to be shared, not hoarded. Every human being is meant to have a rewarding relationship with his Creator, but it is not for his amusement only; it is entrusted for the purpose of sharing. And finally. Christians do not respond to God because it feels good, for it often does not; we respond to God because His glory is the central fact of the Universe, and piety then becomes ultimate cosmic honesty. I am not suggesting that Brown teach re- ligion the way it teaches chemistry. What is necessary is to realize that the existence of questions presupposes the existence of an- swers, and that students should be encour- aged to find them and to live by them and to propagate them as they see fit. It seems that professors are actually afraid of a resound- ingly confident answer to a presumably rhetorical question; after all, if it is answered, can one teach the course next semester? An unfortunate byproduct of the doc- trine of no ansicer is that there is no wrong answer either, and every student is just as correct as the professor. The resulting grade inflation has most certainly been a negative incentive to the inquiring mind. It also lends a note of frustration and futility to the whole academic process: if the professor avowedly knows no more than the students, why are they paying the school these enormous sums? Though the disadvantages and inherent contradictions of a doctrinairely secular school are apparent, there can be no return to Ivy League Orthodoxy. Rather, what the curriculum needs is to take into account the importance of commitment, to encourage it, and to rejoice over those students who have committed their lives in one direction through their faith. JONATHAN B. BLITZER 76 Syrncusc, N.Y. Editor; 1 was very interested in your re- cent article, "Religious Revival on Cam- pus?," because as a member of the seven- year medical education program 1 have been here to watch the transition. Unfortunately 1 think one statement was made that was not completely accurate. The following state- ment was made: "Since the relinquishing of its ties with the Baptist church and the aboli- tion of compulsory chapel, the University has pretty much ceased to represent the old Protestant Establishment and become a much more pluralistic environment." Certainly non-Protestant services are well attended; as the article noted, 400-500 students attend weekly Mass; over 100 at- tend Jewish Sabbath services at Hillel. How- ever the official University chaplains, who are paid by Brown, are Protestants. Fathers Inman and O'Shea, the Catholic priests, are supported by the Thomas Becket Founda- tion, a group of Catholic parents, faculty, and alumni, who feel it important that there be Catholic church representation on cam- pus. It seems that Brown cannot claim to be totally secularized until financial resources for the chaplains are more equally divided to represent the student body religious mix. CAROL A, BOCACCINO 76, 79 M.D. Campus All chaplains have University appointments, the Uniztersity pays part of Rabhi Rick Marker's salary, and it supports the Catliolic chap>lains in other financial ways. — Editor Editor: I found your recent issue which featured an article on religious resurgence at Brown the most refreshing and encouraging thing that 1 have seen in there for as long as I can remember. The involvement of many students indi- cates a bright hope that the Universits' may indeed start to produce whole people again. Merely imparting knowledge without wis- dom can be a dangerous thing and as Solo- mon pointed out, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom!" and fear is not limited to the narrow sense in which we tend to use it today. As most of these young people are finding, a personal, living rela- tionship is a liberating, exciting experience, not at all what they have been led to believe by others. It is not something which is put in a compartment which is opened for a few hours each week but which colors every as- pect of each day. I didn't find some of the comments of the chaplains as reassuring. The one who expressed annoyance at the repeated concern of a zealous student for him might well profit by analvzing fully the reasons that he feels uncomfortable, because the Holy Spirit does convict us by making us uncomfortable if such discomfort is |ustified. On the other hand, if we have been truly Born Again we do still appreciate the concern of others to make us aware of our needs. Most of us can harken hack to when we received Christ as Saviour and Lord and remember our first reaction, "Why didn't somebody tell me this before?" Also his suggestion that the student might do better to express his faith by reach- ing out to the tremendous needs all around us has to be kept in perspective. The out- reach has to come, of course, but it comes as a result of becoming a new creature in Christ and takes all kinds of forms (in) meeting the needs of our fellow man. As the Scriptures point out, what we do in |the] way |of j help- ing others is so much "Wood, Hay, and Stubble" if we do not know Him. Jesus has some harsh words for many who would point out what they are doing for Him: "Not everyone who says Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven!" and "I never knew you!" Finally 1 found the comments of the young Jewish girl very interesting and per- ceptive. The observation that she might be interested in studying Christian Theology but didn't believe she could take the course on Judaism that is being offered there rang a bell with me. I was frankly appalled after reading the article in an earlier issue concern- ing Professor Jacob Neusner's course. To reach from Deuteronomy or any of the Old Testament for that matter and ignore its spiritual content is to discard the heart of it and be left with a bag of dead bones. I'm not sure I would recommend a course in Chris- tian Theology to her either because much of that can be equally deadly. I would, how- ever, recommend her contact with members of the Christian groups so that they can com- plement each other's understanding of the Word of God. GEORGE L. deWOLF '46 Ithaca, N.Y.

The recipients, certainly one of the most diverse and interesting groups to be so honored by the University in recent years, were: Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon, now professor of aerospace engineering and applied mechanics at the University of Cin- cinnati; Doctor of Science. "Ten years ago this summer, you and tzco colleagues em- barked on a voyage of exploration hei/ond the ivildest dreams of a Christopher Columbus. ... /4s commander of Apollo 1 1 , you became the first human being ei>er to walk on the surface of the moon. Since then you have modestly avoided the spotlight and refrained from exploiting that remarkable feat, prefer- ring instead to carve out a career of solid achiei'cment as an educator and aerospace engineer." Richard R. Baxter '42, a member of the United Nations' International Court of Justice at The Hague, former chief of the International Law Branch in the Office of the Judge Advocate General, and professor at Harvard Law School; Doctor of Laws. "In the classroom, at the bar, and on the bench you have devoted your considerable talents to the introduction of the rule of law into international affairs. . . . Most recently your legal acumen and breadth of knowledge have been recognized by your election by the United Nations to sit on the International Court of justice, whose p>redecessor body was served by another dis- tinguished Brown graduate, Charles Evans Hughes." Foster B. Davis, Jr. '39, vice chan- cellor of the University from 1969 to 1979, chairman of the Davis Committee that recommended the establishment of an M.D. program at Brown, and vice president and director of the investment firm of Tucker, Anthony & R. L. Day; Doctor of Laws. "You exemp>lif\/ that un- selfish dedicatum of an alumnus to the -wel- fare of this institution which is one of Brown 's greatest strengths. For four decades you have served in loidely divergent capacities. . . . As trustee and vice chaiuel- lor you have participated in virtually ei'ery major decision of the Corporation during the past tzoenh/ years." Foster B. -Pete" Davis, Ir. 39 Katherine Dunham, dancer and choreographer, actress, producer, com- poser, writer, university' professor at Southern Illinois University' at Ed- wardsville, and director of the Perform- ing Arts Training Center and Dynamic Museum, SIU at East St. Louis; Doctor of Fine Arts. "Prima ballerina of modern dance, your distinguished career has encom- passed a thousand stages, the screen, opera, and a thousand more studios and class- rooms. Your ethnograp}hic studies have con- tributed significantly to anthropwlogy and have inspired many innovations m your art. . . .

Hanna Holborn Gray, president of the University of Chicago and professor of history, former provost and acting president oi Yale, and a former member of the National Council on the Human- ities; Doctor of Laws. "Scholar, teacher, administrator, humanist - the standard of excellence you have set and achieved is rec- ognized and emulated by many in academia and the world at large. . . . In a variety of roles you have provided administrative leadership to some of our finest institutions of higher education, and today you head one of the most distinguished universities in this country." ^' \3«i^ 1 12 Juan Lopez-Morillas, professor emeritus at Brown, former chairman of the Department of Spanish and Italian and the Department of Comparative Literature, now Ashbel Smith Professor of Spanish and Portuguese at the Uni- versity of Texas at Austin; Doctor of Humane Letters. "Until your retirement last year you were for thirty-five years both a pioneering and a steadying influence on the development of tliis University. Your articu- lateness and eloquence as an exponent of humane thought and your exemplary scholarly explorations of Hispanic and European culture helped set tioo depart- ments on the courses which have brought them national recognition." Jakob Josef Petuchowski, research professor of Jewish theology and liturgy at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Insti- tute of Religion in Cincinnati and the first rabbi and director of Jewish studies at the Hebrew Union College in Jeru- salem; Doctor of Letters. "Professor of a reasoned approach to Judaism, you aclneve the unreasonable miracle of joining what others have not discovered how to link: scholarship and theology, learning and par- ticipation. Your works of scholarly exposi- tion of the history of Jewish liturgy fall within that humanistic tradition for which this University stands ." James Bond Stockdale, president of the Naval War College in Newport and president-elect of The Citadel, a pris- oner of war in Vietnam from 1968 to 1975, winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, and the most highly decorated officer in the Navy; Doctor of Laws. "For seven and a half years you endured the agony and isolation of prison camp. . . . (while) you organized the cap- tives and gave them leadership and mspira- tion to resist. Today you have ivon nc^v rec- ognition as an educator and scholar in a role about which your peers speak with envy - the teaching president of a college. . . . The exploits of a certain secret agent who has plagiarized your name may be better knoion, but they cannot compare in lasting quaUty to your oicn achiei'ements." j.P. Graduate school honors three of its own Three distinguished scholars — - a mathematician, an experimental psy- chologist, and an historian — received Graduate Alumni/ae Citations during the Graduate School's convocation ceremonies on Commencement morn- ing. The citations, inaugurated a year ago to commemorate the fiftieth an- niversary of the Graduate School, are awarded annually to holders of ad- vanced degrees from Brown who have made distinguished contributions to society through scholarship or related professional acHvitv. The recipients were; Derrick Henry Lehmer '29 Sc.M. (in mathematics), '30 Ph.D., former chairman of the department of mathe- matics at the University of California at Berkeley and a leader in the application of high-speed computers to mathemati- cal research. The professor emeritus has served as vice president of both the American Mathematical Society and the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science and has taught and conducted research at a variety of colleges, including Princeton and Lehigh. A former Guggenheim Fellow, Dr. Lehmer has served a number of U.S. agencies, including the Office of Scientific Research and Development, the Ballistic Research Laboratory at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, and as di- rector of the Institute for Numerical Analysis of the National Bureau of Standards. With great energy and en- thusiasm, you demonstrated how, in both theory and practice, computers can be a zml- uable tool in testing coniectures, suggesting new theorems — and finding proofs. We cite your oicn contributions to the theory of numbers, lohich, in every sense, have been numerically significant. Richard L. Solomon '40, '42 Sc.M. (psychology), '47 Ph.D., since 1975 the James M. Skinner University Professor of Science at the University of Pennsyl- vania. During World War II, Dr. Solo- mon worked on a number of projects re- lated to the war effort — one of which resulted in an invention and patent he later donated to the government. He was a. member of Harvard's psychology department and Laboratory for Social Relations for thirteen years before join- ing the Penn faculty in 1960. His inves- tigation of the processes by which emotional reactions are acquired and modified brought him numerous hon- ors: election to the National Academy of Sciences, the presidency of his division of the American Psychology Associa- tion, the Warren Medal from the Society of Experimental Psychologists, and editorship of the Psychological Review. Your research on associative learning has served to guide the thinking of a generation of researchers, and your development of an opponent-process theory of motivation has provided a new frame of reference for study- ing such diz'erse phenomena as emotional reactions, food preferences, and the problem of addictions. Robert J. Taylor '52 Ph.D. (in American Civilization), professor of his- tory at Tufts University between 1965 and 1975 and current editor-in-chief of The Papers of John Adams. The former chairman of the history department at Tufts has been a Fellow of the American Council of Learned Societies and twice was a Fulbright Lecturer. He also was the recipient of the Award of Merit of the American Association for State and Local History. During World War II, Dr. Taylor served with the Army in the European Theater and received the Purple Heart. His first book. Western Massachusetts in the Revolution, pub- lished twenty-five years ago, is still considered the major source for under- standing that peculiar eighteenth- century upheaval. Shay's Rebellion. His Colonial Connecticut, A History was pub- lished this summer. Tliroughout this long and fruitfid career, your genial manner, modesty, and high scholarly standards have earned you the respiect and affection of your colleagues. f.B. Senior citations: One goes to Massey It has been customary, since 1970, for the senior class to award a Citation to the professor or professors the class deems most worthy of recognition. The class of 1979 awarded Citations to: Barrett Hazeltine, professor of en- gineering and associate dean of the Col- lege: "You have preserved our faith in education by remembering our names and by sincerely asking, 'Everybody okay?' Bruce E. Donovan '59, professor of classics and associate dean: "You have had an influence on all aspects of Uni- versity life . . . Your classes in Greek literature have transformed Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides 13 into our contemporaries." Sears Jayne, professor of English: "Your sensitivity encompassed both the academic and personal development of your students. As a friend, a counselor, a teacher, and exemplar you have won the admiration and respect of many of those who sit before you today." Walter E. Massey, professor of physics and dean of the College: "There is no single individual at Brown who more clearly epitomizes the ideals and goals of a liberal arts education and Brown's unique . . . curriculum than Walter Massey." The senior class had pledged over $59,000 in support of the University, Judy Allen 79 announced, and this money will be divided between a Li- brary Book Fund and the Brown Fund. The first book purchased with the Class of 1979 Library Book Fund money was presented to acting University Librarian Stuart Sherman '39, who was cited for his hard work and dedication in direct- ing Brown's libraries this year. Finally, the graduating medical students presented a Citation to Sidney S. Braman, M.D., assistant professor of medicine and director of the pulmonary division at Rhode Island Hospital, "in recognition of your unit"|ue ability to combine academic excellence and clini- cal acumen with the ancient art of caring for the sick . . . we salute you as a teacher, a friend, and a man of un- ecjualled stature." (Everyone laughed: Dr. Braman is short.) D.S. Walter Massai receiver im oimtion from the Ccmmencemcitt auiiience. THE CORPORATION: Changes at the top Charles C. Tillinghast, Jr. '32 has served Brown as chancellor for eleven years, ministering to its health and ad- vising its presidents during some of its most turbulent times. Now he is step- ping down — to be succeeded by his classmate, Richard Salomon. On Saturday of Commencement Weekend, the Corporation named Dick Salomon the sixteenth chancellor of Brown. In addition, the Corpciration elected Thomas J. Watson, Jr. '37, chairman of the executive committee of IBM, to the position of vice chancellor, and Andrew M. Hunt '51, vice presi- dent of Kidder, Peabody & Co. of Prov- idence, to the position of treasurer. At the same time, Tillinghast, former chairman of the board and chief execu- tive officer of Trans World Airlines and currently managing director of Merrill Lynch White Weld capital markets group, was named to the Board of Fel- lows. To a conspicuous degree hut en- tirely without ostentation, Dick Salomon has long dedicated himself to the wel- fare of Brown. He was vice chairman of the Development Fund for medical edu- cation during the 1960s and was chair- man of the Program for the Seventies that brought S25 million to Brown. He served as a trustee of Brown from 1967- 72 and has been a member of the Board of Fellows since that time. He is cur- rently a member of the board of direc- tors of Squibb Corporation. Brown has twice honored Dick Salomon. In 1972 he received an hon- orary doctor of laws degree and, six years later, the Associated Alumni con- ferred on him its highest honor, the Brown Bear. With reference to Salo- mon's association with Lanvin-Charles of the Ritz, the Brown Bear citation said, in part: "Your lifelong work has assured that your fragrances, like your humane business philosophy, are both subtle and gratifying." Tom Watson, the chief executive officer of IBM prior to his 1971 retire- ment, has been active in University af- fairs since his election as a term trustee in 1948. He was appointed a life trustee in 1956 and served in that capacity until his election to the Board of Fellows in 1968. He is the recipient of honorary degrees from Brown, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Oxford Universities, among others, and in 1964 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Johnson. Watson was chairman of the Plans and Resources Committee of the Brown Corporation, appointed by President Hornig in 1971 "to develop plans for the future of Brown." The ct)mmittee's findings, released in 1974, have done much to shape the character of the Uni- versity. Except for five years in the Army during World War II (he was a lieuten- 'I believe in Brown' When Dick Snlomon offered /hs iiiatehiii^ challenge grant to the Brown Fund in 1974, he explained, in an elocjiient statement, u'/iy he had done sci; ... I believe in Brown. I hope all of our alumni believe in Brown. I hope they, too, are committed to the inde- pendent private university, to the idea of a small teaching university of great excellence, and to the value of a qualit}' education in an age of increasing grub- biness. I believe that this country will pay ^ dearly if we neglect our universities to- =■ day. Americans have always supported 3' their colleges in the belief that there are few tasks more important than educat- ing our young and training a new gen- eration of leaders. I still believe in that. We have invested in our universi- ties because we know that their endless search for knowledge and elusive an- swers offers our best hope for solving the problems that confront us. I con- tinue to believe that. And we have nourished and pro- tected the university because we believe that there should be one institution in society where all ideas, every opinion, and any question could be raised and examined freely without fear. And I still believe that. Brown symbolizes all these things for me 14 Chancdicir Richard Snlomon. ant colonel), Watson spent his entire business career with IBM, a firm founded by his father, becoming presi- dent in 1952, chief executive officer in 1956, and chairman of the board in 1961. In 1968 the Brown faculty bestowed on Watson its highest award, the Susan Colver Rosenberger Medal of Honor, calling him "a true humanist" and citing his "valued leadership in higher educa- tion." Shortly after Commencement, it was reported in the press that Watson would be nominated as the new U.S. Ambassador to Moscow. He was in Vienna during the June U.S. -Soviet summit as chairman of the General Advisory Committee on Arms Control, a group of individuals in the private sec- tor who advise the President on disarm- ament. Andy Hunt, Brown's new trea- surer, has been a trustee of the Univer- sity since 1978. He was vice president of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith when he jt)ined Kidder, Peabody & Co. in 1976. Hunt has served as president of the budget committee of the United Way of Southeastern New England and is chairman of Brown's annual Medical Fund Drive. He has served as president of the Brown Club of Rhode Island, chairman of the Pops Concert, and pres- ident of the Brown Hockey Association. Watson succeeds Foster B. Davis, Jr. 39, who becomes a trustee emeritus. Hunt succeeds Joseph W. Ress '26, who also was named a trustee emeritus. ].B. Vice Chancellor Tliomas /.

A trustee almost continually since 1954, he has played a leading role on key Corporation com- mittees over the years. His father, Henry D. Sharpe '94, was a former chancellor of the University. Henry Sharpe received an honorary doctor of laws degree from Brown in 1970. Arthur R. Taylor '57, '61 A.M., former president of the Columbia Broadcasting System and a director of First Boston, Inc. He served as a term trustee from 1973 to 1978. Two of the new trustees, Sally Cooper and Robert McCullough, were elected by the University's Associated Alumni organization. j.B. FACULTY: Julian Gibbs named president of Amherst As a former chairman of Brov\'n's chemistry department and as a member of faculty committees, fifty-four-year- old Julian Gibbs has shown a preference for solving problems through discussion and persuasion rather than fiat. He will soon have ample opportunity to put his theory to the ultimate test: this summer he becomes the fifteenth president of Amherst College. Nestled in the foothills of the Berk- shires, the 158-year-old college is con- sidered one of the nation's most prestigious centers of learning. The formerly all-male school (it became co- educational in 1975) has an enrollment of 1,500 and an annual budget of $17 million. It also has some carryover prob- lems from this spring, when a week- long student protest against alleged ra- cism (the school now includes 200 minority students) ended with the takeover of the administration building and the eventual suspension of sev- enty-two students. There was division in the Amherst family prior to the events of this spring. The former president, John William Ward, who last November announced his intention to retire, had lost a large amount of alumni support on the co- education issue and also when he en- gaged in acts of civil disobedience at 15 Westover Air Force Base in 1971 to pro- test the Vietnam War. Faculty support had eroded on the issue of faculty com- pensation. Professor Gibbs, whose personality is one of ease and quiet competence, will bring his own approach to dealing with these problems and others. "1 strongly believe in the interaction of deans and students on a continuing basis," he says. "Walter Massey put this kind of program into operation at Brown and it has been highly suc- cessful. You certainly don't wait until some issue explodes and people of good will within the academic community are forced to choose sides." When the Amherst search commit- tee looked to Gibbs, they found a man who is not only an accomplished scien- tist but who is also a humanist conver- sant in the arts. Julian Gibbs can delight in talking about the late quartets of Beethoven, the design of European cathedrals — or even the current prob- lems of the Boston Red Sox. If the search committee had any question, it was the relatively limited nature of his experience as an administrator, which included eight years as chairman of the chemistry department and a term this past year as chairman of the Faculty Pol- icy Group. Robert J. McKean (Amherst '50), chairman of the search committee, said that he had checked this point with Gibbs's former associates and had found the answers reassuring. (One former university president said: "If I were more like Julian, I'd still be presi- dent.") "Julian is a man who is comfort- able with himself," McKean said, "and that's an ideal kind of man to have. He'll make a decision and stick by it. He's not going to second guess himself every time something happens." For Julian Gibbs, the decision to leave Brown was not made easily. If he were not an alumnus of Amherst (Julian is class of '46 and his father was '02) he would not have taken the position, he says. "If you are an educator. Brown University is one of the most exciting places to be today," he adds. "I really thought I had reached the ideal here. I didn't seek the Amherst job, but even- tually it became impossible to turn it down. For the rest of my life I'd have been wondering if I had done the right thing." He has certain regrets in leaving the professorial ranks, where he will miss "the excitement of research." This tran- sition will be bridged somewhat by the fact that Amherst has agreed to support two associates who will be working with him on an important ongoing research project. "I certainly won't lose my in- teracKon with students in my new role as president," he chuckles. "They will see to it that this interaction still exists, perhaps more of it than 1 want." Gibbs feels that it is unwise for a college president to adopt any particular style. He plans to be himself, adding that he'll be pleased if he comes out somewhere between Barnev Keenev and Howard Swearer. "I hope to work hard, exhibit common sense, and try to remain good-spirited about what hap- pens," he says. "Barney Keeney usually had a joke ready to defuse a situation. Howard Swearer is the same. "The alumni feel that they want a strong president. But how do vou define strong in todav's academic life? I hope strong doesn't mean acting in an autocrahc manner and putting aside the procedures worked out in recent years by faculty and students for running a college. In many cases, the law wouldn't allow me to do that anyway. The nub of the matter is that while the president is responsible for the place you sometimes wonder today if he still has the authority to run the institution. "Of course," he continues, "if the faculty and advisory bodies behave wisely, then this question never comes up. If the bodies do not behave wisely and decisions are made that do not ap- pear to be in the best interests of the col- lege, then I expect to be strong enough to assume leadership and overturn the decisions." Julian H. Gibbs has been part of the Brown community for nineteen years. Born in Dcerfield, Massachusetts, only a few miles from Amherst, he grew up in Albany and was graduated magna cum laude from Amherst in 1946. He earned his master's from Princeton in 1949 and his doctorate from that school in 1930. He did postgraduate work at Cambridge UniversitN' in England and at the Uni- versity of Minnesota and then spent eight years in research and industry at General Electric Company and Ameri- can Viscose Corporation before coming to Brown in 1960. And what is Julian Gibbs's reaction to the advice given some years ago by President Keeney to the effect that in today's society a college president should close up shop and get out after ten years? "I refuse to answer that one," Gibbs laughs. "Come back and ask me in a decade." /.B. MacMillan Professorship honors Workman Classics Professor John Rowe Workman has been named the first W. Duncan MacMillan II Professor of Classics at Brown. The new professor- ship is the result of a gift to the Univer- sity by W. Duncan MacMillan II '53, di- rector of Cargill, Inc., of Minneapolis, and president of Waycrosse, Inc., a subsidiary of Cargill. MacMillan has been a trustee of the University for the past five years and has served on the budget and finance committee. He is also chairman of the board of the American State Bank in Bloomington, Minnesota. "We arc delighted that Duncan MacMillan's generosity has enabled us to recognize an outstanding faculty member who has given so much of him- self to classics and to Brown Univer- sity," President Swearer said in an- nouncing the gift. "John Rowe Work- man is a distinguished scholar who also has been an advisor and friend to Brown students for more than thirty years. I can think of no one better suited to be the first holder of the MacMillan Chair in Classics." Professor Workman joined the Brown faculty in 1947 as an instructor in the classics department and under- graduate counselor and has served as a full professor of classics since 1966. He is co-founder of the Latin Carol Service, traditionally one of the highlights of the Christmas season at the Universit)'. In addihon, he has prepared hundreds of Latin greetings for official Brown occa- sions and has written the Latin text for each honorary degree conferred by Brown since 1959. j.B. ALUMNI: Associated Alumni elect John Henderson '46 John B. Henderson '46, senior vice president of Textron, Inc., of Provi- dence, has been elected president-elect of the Associated Alumni in the annual balloting conducted by the organization among the Universitv's 46,000 alumni, who also named Dr. Kenneth G. Knowles '53, of Warwick, a member of the Athletic Advisory Council. Henderson, who has long been ac- tive in Rhode Island civic affairs, has been a member of the board of directors of the Associated Alumni since 1976 and 16 a member of its executive committee for the past year. Knowles, an orthopedic surgeon who practices in Cranston and Paw- tucket, is also a clinical assistant pro- fessor of orthopedic surgery in the Brown Program in Medicine and is as- sociate team physician and senior or- thopedic consultant to the athletic de- partment. He is active in the Brown Club of Rhode Island and the Brown Hockey Association. The new president of the Asso- ciated Alumni is Phyllis Van Horn Til- linghast '51, of New York City, who has served as president-elect the past two years. Ms. Tillinghast, who becomes the first alumna to head the alumni organi- zation, succeeds Dr. Sanford Udis '41, of Fall River. RM.R. HONORS: Wallace Elton '29 is chief marshal It's a fair bet that never before has the Commencement procession been led by a professional cartoonist. Wallace W. Elton '29, this year's chief marshal, is now embarked on his third career — as the creator, writer, and illustrator of Zoologic, a syndicated cartoon feature. Considering the stanclards estab- lished for selecting the chief marshal from the 50th reunion class — leader- ship and service to Brown — Wally Elton was duly qualified. During a long and active career in alumni affairs, he Chief marshal Elton. has served as president of the Brown Club in New York, vice president and a regional director of the Associated Alumni, and as a long-time fund raiser. Wally became art director at a Philadelphia advertising agency after leaving Brown and then, in 1940, he began a twenty-six-year career (inter- rupted by service as a lieutenant com- mander in the Navy during World War II) with the J. Walter Thompson Com- pany in New York City. He retired as executive vice president and a director of that firm in 1966, the same year in which he formed International Execu- tive Services Corporation (lESC), a world-wide service agency designed to aid privately owned enterprises in de- veloping countries.

People and Programs n Professor of Geological Sciences Thomas A. "Tim" Mutch, a planetary geologist whose commitment to explo- ration ranges from the surface of Mars {BAM, November 1976) to the peaks of the Himalayas (BAM, September 1978), will be taking a leave of absence in July to head NASA's Office of Space Sci- ence. Mutch has worked with NASA as a researcher since 1965 and as a consul- tant since 1969, primarily on the explo- ration of Mars. In his new post, he will be responsible for the scientific aspects of space missions already launched or being planned, and he will over- see the design of new unmanned mis- sions and the development of new programs to maximize scientific use of the space shuttle. Among the missions he will direct are the final phases of the twin Voyager spacecraft's journey to Saturn and the outer planets, the Space Telescope program, and Project Galileo, which will put the first spacecraft in orbit around Jupiter in 1983. "\ have long argued that a balanced program of space exploration is impor- tant and I continue to think this," Mutch said recently. "I am anxious to more clearly communicate the excite- ment and eventual benefits of space sci- ence to a wider audience." Mutch, a member of the Brown faculty since 1960 and a former chairman of the geology department, received the NASA Medal for Exceptional Scientific Achievement in 1977, the same year that he and his fellow Viking scientists earned the an- nual Cleveland Newcomb Award from the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science for the best paper published in Science magazine. D The Brown News Bureau has a new director: Susan K. Heitman, former director of public information at Occidental College in Los Angeles. A 1965 Occidental graduate, Heitman re- turned to her alma mater in 1972 as di- rector of publications and editor of the award-winning Occidental College Maga- zine, (She had previously served as publications editor for the University of California at Irvine's College of Medi- cine.) In 1978, she was named director of public information and continued to edit the magazine as well. Heitman has won eighteen national awards, ranging from writing and publications design to newspaper and magazine publishing, and is a member of the board of trustees of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). D Alumni Relations Officer Ann Holmes Redding '72 was the third recip- ient of the Inman Page Award, given annually by ONYX, a group of black seniors, in recognition of outstanding service to the senior class. (Previous re- cipients were Associate Director of Admission John Robinson '67 and Bet- tye Ward, former assistant dean of the college.) D Associate Professor of Biology Peter Heywood has been named an as- sociate of the Danforth Foundation in St. Louis, which sponsors activiries de- signed to enhance faculty-student rela- tionships and to "humanize" the teach- ing and learning process. Heywood will attend three biennial conferences spon- sored by the Danforth Associates Pro- gram during his six-year tenure, and will be eligible to apply for support of team projects involving students and faculty. D Brown's Population Studies and 17 Training Center has received two major grants this year — a $500,000 challenge grant from the Ford Foundation to build a $1.5 million endowment for the Cen- ter, and a $150,000 grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. The Ford challenge grant is contingent upon raising $1 million in endowment funds by December 31, 1981, income from which will support library acquisi- tions, research, salaries, and overseas studies of developing countries. This is the third and largest grant the Center has received from the Ford Foundation since 1972; according to the Center's di- rector, University Professor Sidney J. Goldstein, it reflects the foundation's new emphasis on long-term core fund- ing of a few highly regarded population studies centers in the U.S. The Hewlett Foundahon grant, which extends over three years, will be used for general support of the Center, training foreign students, research on policy issues, and activities related to the special problems of developing nations. The Center is also one of the ben- eficiaries of a $250,000 grant from the General Electric Foundation, pavable over five years, that will support three other academic areas: siilid mechanics (in the Division of Engineering); a grad- uate grant in economics; and two grad- uate grants in chemistry, physics, or geology. D The Brown Medical Association presented its annual William Williams Keen Awards this June to two men who distinguished themseh'es for their serv- ice to Brown, the Pro\idence commu- nity, and the field of medicine: the late J. Walter Wilson 18, and Dr. Frederick W. Barnes, Jr. Professor Wilson, who died in 1969, was a nationallv known authority in cancer research w ho served as chairman of the biology department at Brown for sixteen years. The J. Walter Wilson Laboratory is named in his honor. Dr. Barnes, the first non-alum- nus to receive the Keen Award, was professor of medical science at Brown from 1962 until his retirement in 1974. He devised a unique program for intro- ducing students in the medical science program to clinical psychiatric problems through live dramatic performances (us- ing professional actors from Trinity Scjuare and scenes from plays such as A Streetcar Nnincd Desire). The Keen Award is named after a disHnguished anat- omist and surgeon who graduated from Brown in 1859 and served on the Corporation for fifty-nine years. /.P. CREW: Champs of the IRA The Challenge Cup, symbolic of the intercollegiate rowing championship of the United States, will spend the next twelve months sitting comfortably on the desk of Athletic Director John Parry at Marvel Gym. Coach Vic Michalson and his crew arranged for the local display of this handsome piece of hardware with a dramatic victory at the 77th annual Intercollegiate Rowing As- sociation Regatta, held the first week in June before 15,000 wildlv cheering fans around beautiful Lake Onondaga in Syracuse. The road to Brown's first national championship in anv varsity sport since the baseball team of 1896 defeated the Unl\'ersity oi Chicago in a best-two- oul-of-three series was more than bumpv. No sooner had Michalson told the world that this could be Brown's best crew ever than the eight-oared shell proceeded to lose its first two races — to sub-par Boston University and to Harvard. Later, there were victories over Northeastern and a good Syracuse crew and then a respectable fourth- place finish in the Easterns. But at the IRA's, Brown just wasn't that highly re- garded. Arnie Burdick of the Si/racusc Herald- American touched on this point in his story about the regatta. "Color the 1979 IRA Regatta Brown!" he wrote. "That was the real shocker, for going intc> yesterday's 77th annual collegiate row down here on breezy but calm Onondaga Lake, Wisconsin Cardinal, Northeastern Red and Black, and Syra- cuse Orange had written the dominant story of what must go down as one of the most memorable and thrilling days in the history of this ancient shell game. "It was an extremely popular triumph, for skippering the unheralded Bruins was the wily Vic Michalson, former Syracuse frosh pilot here from 1950 to 1962, when he took over at Prov- idence. Only two years away from re- tirement, Vic has been an IRA regular for all those eighteen seasons, and never had his Brown varsity finished better than second. They did win the freshman eights here in 1970, but usu- ally 'Poor Vic's' thin ranks have come up a little short." Bv all rights, Brown should have been one of the favcirites in this year's IRA classic. No less than seven men were back from last year's boat, which had the IRA wim until a crab in the final 500 meters forced the Bears to settle for a close second-place finish to Syracuse. This spring, however, the boat got off to a slow start, seldom showing the smoothness and precision that charac- terized the 1978 crew. In mid-season, Michalson made some changes. One of them brought into the boat at the key stroke position a Nebraska farm boy w ho had given up crew two years ago. David Vaughn Gangwish, from Shelton, Nebraska, rowed in the No. 6 seat as a freshman, dropped out of school for a while, and hadn't rowed at all during the past twc> years. He was the forgotten man until he stroked the junior varsity to a near upset of Harvard in mid-April. The next week he was in the varsity boat. "Dave is not a picture oarsman," Michalson says, "but he's very consist- ent and he sure is a competitor. He was definitely a factor in our late-season surge." Capt. Bill Scholt/ agreed. "Dave's not that smooth, but he is real powerful. He's an inspiration for all of us to row behind." With Gangwish in the revised boat. Brown won its final two races, showed well in the Eastern Sprints with a fourth place to Yale, Harvard, and Dartmouth, and settled down to ten days of prepa- ration for the IRA's. TTien the drills were interrupted by a virus that hit several members of the squad, including bow man Tom Phillips and Dave Gangwish. The shell showed the effects of this dis- ruption with a lackluster performance in the opening heat of the IRA's, finishing fourth to Dartmouth, Syracuse, and Cornell. Assigned to a repechage heat along with MIT, Cornell, and Columbia, the Bruins needed a first- or second-place finish to make the IRA final. At that point it was obvious that Brown also needed a complete reversal of form to 18 Bill Scholtz (left) and Dave Cangiinsh niui the IRA trophy. come anywhere near beating Dart- mouth and Syracuse, pacesetters in the first heat, and Wisconsin, winner of the second heat. The Bears got off to a horrendous start in their repechage. Gangwish missed the water on the first stroke and it tooi<; the Bruins about fifteen strokes to recover their cohesion. By that time they were dead last and in danger of suffering the embarrassment of being relegated to the petite finals. By the halfway mark of the 2,000- meter race, Brown had taken the lead. But nothing came easy for this year's crew. Coming down to the final 200 meters it seemed that Cornell had pulled slightly ahead of Brown and that MIT was dead even. Michalson's men had one big sprint left and it was just enough to save the day. The IRA final featured some in- teresting boats. Dartmouth, the largest crew (averaging 6'4" and 196 pounds) and the favorite, had lost only to Yale and Harvard in the Easterns. Their coach, Pete Gardner, tabbed them as his best in his twentv-two years as head coach. Starting last fall their one goal had been to win the IRA's. Wisconsin, the best of the midwestern boats, came in with a new 185-pound Robinson shell, a boat 50 to 75 pounds lighter than the conventional shell. Then there was the defending champion, Syracuse, upset bv Dartmouth and Brown during the regular season but still highly re- garded. Cornell, Northeastern, and Brown rounded out the six-boat field. Brown did nothing to improve its image through the early going, trailing the pack through the first 500 meters. Wisconsin battled ahead of Dartmouth and Syracuse for the lead, but once the Bruin crew settled it began to work its way through the pack, with coxswain Norm Albert keeping his men informed of which shells they were passing. Brown was fourth at the halfway mark, but a few hundred meters more and Michalson's boat had passed both Syra- cuse and Dartmouth and was challeng- ing the Badgers. The rangy Bruins (av- eraging 6'3" and 195 pounds) were a beautiful machine as they slid past Wis- consin 200 meters from the finish line to thunderous cheers from the huge crowd along the shore (even the Northeastern band provided a serenade) and then lifted the beat to 37 and even 39 to hold the lead. "It was the first time all season that the Bruins exhibited the type of oars- manship that almost carried them to victory in the big race last year," Dave Philips wrote in the Providence Journal. "Then came the celebration. Brown oarsmen who had raced earlier in the day waded into the lake to greet the ju- bilant Brown varsity oarsmen, who were rowing toward the dock in front of the grandstand to receive their gold medals and the huge silver cup." It was a sweet victory for the six crewmen who had come so close a year ago: Tom Phillips in bow, Jon Phinney, the only sophomore in the boat, at No. 3, Tom Hornick at 4, Peter Le Vinness at 5, Chuck Riedel at 6, and Scholtz at 7. The only newcomers were Gangwish and Jim Griffeth, the latter joining the varsity after the Easterns. "This has been an unusual boat," Michalson said after the race. "It has three doctors, two electrical engineers, two history majors, and one biochemist all pulling oars to the beat called by cox- swain Norm Albert, a history/economics student." Standing at Michalson's side, Scholtz grinned. "Yeah, Mike always says we've got too many intellectuals in the boat. But today the intellectuals car- ried the lake." n Six days later the Bruins were back on the lake in competition for the right to represent the U.S. in the Pan American Games in Puerto Rico in July. On this day the "intellectuals" lost to the experience of the Penn Elite Rowing Center, which had six oarsmen from last year's national champions. j.B. 19 BASEBALL: John's King-size shots It was just your average college baseball game at Aldrich-Dexter Field. About twenty- two people were scat- tered through the two large portable stands, a few students sat hunched on the grass studying between occasional glances at the ball field, and everyone was huddled up against the strong wind that gives "A.D." the reputation of being the "coolest" place in town. Under normal conditions there would have been little excuse to sit in near-freezing conditit)ns and watch a struggling 7-22 ball club. But thanks to John King 79, a powerfully built right- handed slugger from King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, conditions weren't at all normal this spring. For example, in the game in question, a f2-3 loss to North- eastern, the 5'n", 205-pound King drove two majestic home runs far over the left-center field wall, which is 349 feet from home plate. The first landed on the roof of a two-story house across the street that runs behind the wall. The second smash will be talked about for years to come. The ball cleared the wall, sailed across the street, and when last seen was passing between the twin chimneys on the roof of the same home. The distance was estimated at 320 feet. "In all my years of coaching and watching baseball, I've only seen one home run that would compare with that one for distance," said veteran coach Woody Woodworth. "That was the one that Mickev Mantle belted on top oi the roof of Yankee Stadium. "Funny thing about King. When he'd step up to take his cuts in batting practice before a game, players from our team and the opposition would stop what they were doing and watch him hit. If he took the usual six whacks, John would usuallv put four of them out of the park. He has lightning quick hands, strong forearms, and a very compact swing. He also has amazing bat contri)l, in that he can pull the ball for a home run one time and intentionallv go to the opposite field for a single or double the next time up. He's so strong that even when he's fooled at the plate he can be dangerous. "John King is probably the greatest slugger in 150 years of Brown baseball history. I know he's the finest player I've ever coached. Billy Almon '74 (the Ail-American who is now playing for the San Diego Padres] was faster and maybe more flashy, but big John is in a class by himself when it comes to bash- ing a baseball." One of King's four-star perform- ances came in a late-season double- header against Holy Cross at Aldrich- Dexter. After losing the first game, 16-8, the Bears trailed 5-1 in the nightcap until King swung into action. In the fourth inning he blasted a three-run homer to make it close. The next time up he improved on his performance with a grand slam. He eventually pulled Brown through, 12-10, with his eight runs-batted-in for the afternoon setting a new University single-game record. Actually, setting records became routine for King. For example, before he arrived the Brown single-season record for home runs was ten. King had 14 in his senior season alone and placed sec- ond nationally in the ratio of homers to games played. The Brown career record for home runs was 13, fciur less than King had at the end of his junior year. His career total of 32 round-trippers will be a test for Bruin sluggers for some years to come. Without going too deeply into statistics, it should be mentioned that King now owns five season and six career records. His .495 batting average this spring brt)ke a Brown record set back in 1941 by John Mars '41 (.408), and his career average of .369 puts him in first place in that category. In addiHon to being named to the Ail-American third team this spring. King led the tastern Intercollegiate Baseball League in batting with a .512 average and be- came the first Brown player selected to the EIBL first team three times. The scouts were after him four years ago after he batted close to .500 and was All-Everything as a high school baseball player. King decided to go to Brown for what he terms "purely academic" reasons. His average with the books (3.25 out of a possible 4.0) is about as strong as his batting average. Now, however. King would like to give pro baseball a try, even though he already has been offered a job \\ ith Procter & Gamble. "If I get the opportunit)', I think I wouldn't be able to pass it up, "says the unassuming senior. "I've done fairly well in college ball, and if I didn't give the pros a try, I might always be won- dering if I could have cut it up there. I'm willing to stick it out in the minor leagues for two years, maybe three, but then if I don't see the major leagues ahead of me I'll pack it in, get a job, and settle down." Woodworth feels that King has a good chance of making the majors. "John has been a sure-handed third baseman for us, and he has a powerful arm. But 1 think his best bet in the pros will be as a catcher, a position he played in high school and briefly at Brown. There aren't many catchers in the majors with the hitting potential of this kid. I think he could go far." j.B. Spring roundup Colm Cronin — in the triple jump — was one of three Brown champions in the 45th annual Heptagonal Out- door Track and Field Championships, which were held at Brtiwn Stadium in May. Against some of the nation's best competition, junior Tim Bruno (BAM, April) won the hammer throw with a school-record toss of 208'9", edging Dartmouth's Ed Kania, who set a Big Green record with a 208'4" throw. Soph- omore Osman Lake was the third winner, taking the 800-meter run in 1:52.54, therebs' defending the indoor Hep- tagonal title he had won last winter. Co-Capt. John DeSantis also had a fine season. He had a third in the 110- meter high hurdles in both the New Englands and the Heps, where his time of 14:49 broke the Brown record set by Hall of Famer Angelo Sinisi in 1960. John also was lead man on the highly successful mile relay unit, which in- cluded three sophomores: Harold Sol- oman, Maurice Chapman, and Osman Lake. Before the start of the lacrosse sea- son. Coach Cliff Stevenson predicted that this would be a good year for the Bruins to take both the Ivy and New England championships. Well, his team stayed in contention all spring until los- ses in the last two games to Dartmouth, 12-9, and Ivy champion Cornell, 12-10, left Brown udth an 8-4 overall record, a 3-3 Ivy mark, and thoughts of what might have been. Defenseman Mark Farnham '80 (BAM, May), however, was doing noth- ing but looking ahead to next year. He was named to the All-American second team, was first-team All-Ivy, and re- ceived the team's MVP Award at the post-season banquet. Tad Barrows '80, who doubles as the field goal and con- version man on the football team, was a 20 first-team All-Ivy choice with Farnham and honorable mention All-American, and attackman John Meister was second-team All-Ivy and honorable mention All-American. Coach Bill Cullen's tennis team was somewhat less than successful, ending 5-8. But the first-year coach had his men ready for the New Englands, where the Bruins finished fifth among sixteen teams. This was a substantial improve- ment over the tenth-place finish of 1978. Steve Piscuskas, whose dad, Vit '56, played some football for Brown, was the top performer in the tournament. He defeated the defending "B" singles champion, 6-4, 6-4, in the quarter-finals but lost in the finals to Yale's Brad Dressier, 6-4, 7-6. The golf team finished tenth in the New Englands, with Capt. Larry Gold- stein shooting a 76, the low mark for the Bruins. The women's track team, an undis- tinguished 1-2 through the dual meet season, came alive in the tournaments, finishing a close second to Princeton in the third annual Women's Ivy League Track and Field Championships (held at Brown) and then winning the New Eng- lands. Anne Sullivan '81 was the star of the Ivy meet. She defeated the strong Debbie Ulian of Yale by 2.2 seconds for first place in the 3,000-meter run with a 10:01.2 clocking and then came back to take the 5,000-meter run in 16:59.0. For her efforts, Sullivan was selected as the Ivy NfVP. Other Brown winners in- cluded Laurie Parker '81, who took the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes, and Toni Largos '82, who set a new meet record in the trials with a :15.5 clocking and then came back to win the 100- meter hurdle finals in :16.5. In the New Englands, it was Laurie Parker's day, as the New York City native won the 200-meter dash, finished fourth in the 400-meter dash, came from behind on her anchor leg to win the 400-meter re- lay, and ran a leg on the fifth-place 1,600-meter relay team. Fencing, which has been making a comeback in recent years under Coach Duncan Smith, had a particularly good season with a 7-3 dual meet record and a third-place finish in the regional champit)nships held at Southeastern Massachusetts University. The men's saber team placed two of its men in the individual finals: senior Peter Nager took the third-place trophy, and sophomore Augusto Bastidas placed Osman Lake '81 wins the 800-meter run in the Heps. fifth. Richard Jerome had a third-place finish in the sectional qualifiers, which led to the national championships. Thanks largely to the efforts of fencers Debbie Heinemann '81 and Mar- lene De Maio '82, an organization called "The Friends of Brown Fencing" has been created. This group produces a newsletter that will be sent regularly to all former Brown fencers, including those who competed in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s when fencing fielded a recog- nized team. Brown will host the 1980 New England men's championships at Marvel Gym. D Adrienne Morphy of Pasadena, California, and Lori Greisman of New York City, a pair of seniors, were the top award winners at the annual Women's Athletic and Recreation Association Dinner. Morphy, an All-Ivy selection in squash and a member of the tennis team, won the Arlene E. Gorton Cup for sportsmanship. Greisman, captain of the volleyball team and an infielder on the Softball team, received the Bessie H. Rudd Award as the woman who has contributed the most to women's ath- letics at Brown. j.B.

RECYCLED Jt is April and on the Brown cam- pus small clusters of students and other people hurry through a stili-chillv night to the darkened interior of an old gymnasium, to the site of a boarded-over swimming ptnil, to a low- lying carriage house and the brick man- sion looming behind it. The lights dim; a dancer enters from the wings; with a down swing of the batt)n, the music starts. We are here to celebrate the opening of three new spaces at Brown — a theatre, a dance studio, and a music center cum recital and rehearsal hall — new spaces carved out of old buildings, a result of the most successful recycling effort the University has yet engaged in. The performing arts have flour- ished at Brown, both formally and in- formally, for the better part of this cen- tury, but they have done so in spite of, and not because of, their facilities. For instance, for the first twenty-eight years of its existence. Sock and Buskin — founded in 1901 and possibly the old- est undergraduate dramatic organiza- tion in the country — had to present its New life for in three old productions at the Providence Opera House and other theatres downtown: Brown had no room for it. And in the half-century since the opening of the Faunce House Theatre, other dramatic groups have formed, all vying for the same limited space. Brown's music department has faced the same problem: overcrowding. In the last decade, enrollment in music courses and participation in the various choral and instrumental groups has risen frt)m 300 students a year to more than 1,400 today. But, except for the MacColl Electronic Music Studio located in the basement of Richardson Hall, the department was st^ueezed into two "to- tally inadequate" frame houses on Col- lege Street. They were an acoustic hor- ror. Dance, which had originally been a part of the athletic department and had then affiliated with theatre arts (a de- partment in its own right as of last summer), had no atiequate studio space. Clearly, theatre, dancC, and music needed more space — but where could the arts buildings they go? In the late 1960s a faculty committee formed to evaluate the state of the performing arts at Brown recom- mended that a new facility be built — a performing arts center — and stressed that this project should receive priority. The University, however, did not have the money to construct new buildings; hopes for a new performing arts center foundered. Then, in 1972, a team from an ar- chitectural design firm (Sasaki, Daw- son, DeMay Associates of Watertown, Massachusetts) assessing Brown's buildings suggested that Lyman Hall, recently vacated by the ROTC, be recy- cled and made into an experime'ital theatre with dressing rooms, class- rooms, faculty offices, etc.; that Colgate Hoyt pool, no longer in use, be floored over and made into a dance studio; that South Hall, purchased with the rest of the Bryant College buildings in 1969 but in such disrepair that it had not been used, be adapted to house the music department, with faculty offices, a music library, classrooms, anti listening areas; and that the nearby carriage Ma Anand Sumati (Kathy Ebcrsladt) 71 warms up before rehearsal in the Ashamu Dance Studio. She was co-director of two dance performances given by Brown students during the week in the neic studio, which is the gift of Chief and Mrs. E. O. Ashamu of Nigeria. Vie chief's son is Samson Ashamu 79. By Debra Shore house be made into a performance hall with the adjoining gymnasium becom- ing a rehearsal hall. The plan seemed to offer an ingenious solution: it would cost much less than new construction and at the same time preserve histori- cally important works of architecture. Marion "Mimi" Wolk was ap- pointed coordinator for the arts at Brown and the project was underway. In 1973 the Kresge Foundation offered a two-for-one challenge grant of $900,000, one-third of the projected $2.7-million cost; it would be up to Brown to raise the remaining $1,800,000. Mrs. Wolk organized a NaHonal Committee for the Performing Arts Fund with Isabelle Russek Leeds, longtime Providence res- ident. University trustee, and presently special assistant to New York's Gov- ernor Hugh Carev for international and United Nations affairs, as chairman. By June 1976 the committee had met its goal with gifts from nearly 650 donors. Since then, an additional $200,000 has been raised to cover added costs. Meanwhile, the University hired Leslie Armstrong '62 (BAM, March), an 23 architect whose specialty is theatre de- sign, to draw up detailed plans based on the general design by Sasaki, Dawson, DeMay, and construction began in the fall of 1977. It has been a long wait, many would say, and converting the old into the new has not been without its problems, but the smiles bestowed generously by Jim Barnhill and Dave Laurent — chairmen, respectively, of the theatre arts and music departments — helped to ease the passage through last-minute paint jobs and electrical wir- ings. The finishing touches had yet to be made, but the space was there, ready for exploration. . . . No ordinary recitahon of speeches and pouring of champagne would do for the dedication and opening of these new- homes for the performing arts at Brown. Instead, a week's worth of perform- ances, workshops, master classes, and recitals — many involving alumni — had been planned, a performing arts homecoming and housewarming rolled into one. I could not be present at all the events — there were just too many going on at once — but I would like to share with you some of what went on during performing arts week at Brown . . . which brings us to Lyman Hall, or, rather, the new Isabelle Russek Leeds Theatre, on a still-chilly April night. The theatre is small, seating about 140 in its three-quarter-round config- uration and 200 when used fully in the round. Since it is air-conditioned, it will permit a much expanded summer theatre program and, complementing the proscenium Faunce House Theatre just across the way, a fuller theatre program altogether. I find a seat as the lights dim and am introduced to Tlw Master, a play by Professor of English James Schevill, di- rected by Associate Professor of Theatre Arts John Emigh and performed by James Barnhill and Julia Roig '80. It is a funny and captivahng play. He is The Master, interviewing The Candidate. Through interrogation and action, he intimidates and instructs, insinuattng his eyebrows and cigar about the stage. Inevitably, the Candidate becomes the Master, the Master the Candidate. One line reverberates: "All stories are whole stories, all of them." Tuesday, early afternoon, back in the Isabelle Russek Leeds Theatre. Sounds of hammering and workmen in the background. John Ford Noonan '64, known in his early days and today by some friends as 'Doc,' walks to the lectern at center stage front. He is a playwright: among his works are The Year Boston Won The Pennant, written while he worked as as- sistant stage manager at Fillmore Hast and produced at Lincoln Center in 1969; Ohier People (1972), Rainbou's for Sale (1973), and Where Do We Go From Here? (1974), produced with Joseph Papp at the Public Theatre; and Flowered Path to the Big-Thne (1973), Getting Through the Night {'[97b). and Goody-Bi/ and Keep Cold (1976), produced by The Ensemble Studio Theatre. He wears the conven- tional beret, blue jeans, and jagging shoes. An attendant places a carton of Rolling Rock beer on the table behind him. He takes one bottle from the car- ton, opens it, places it on the lectern, and begins to speak. "When I came to Brown (he grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut] I was recruited as a basketball player and I didn't do too well at it, or anything else. All my friends were in Production Workshop and Ray Barry, a football player and good friend, was doing Sock and Buskin and I used to get all dressed up in a coat and tie and go to opening nights. In my senior year John Pleshette said, 'We're doing a play by Pinter, The Room, and there's a big guy who doesn't have to say anything. Will you do it?' So I looked at it and there was nothing to do but stand there until the last page, when there were some words. I was terrified when it came to the speaking part and Pleshette, who was directing, had to push me out. "My father was an Irish Catholic dentist whose attitude about the theatre was, 'Unless you're Marlon Brando, it's a waste of time' and that's what he told me, so at graduahon 1 got dressed up in a three-piece suit and interviewed for bank or advertising jobs and I didn't get one. Tv\ o friends were gi'ing to Car- negie Mellon and I applied and got in and that was it (Doc earned a master's degree in dramahc literature there in jim Barnhill and lulie Roig '80 star in jamcs SchLi>ilt'^ The Master. John Ford Noonan: "A real artist has one subject he talks about seventy-nine times." Richard Foreman: "In my theatre I tried to make people make a mental effort." 11 ^■C^^^^H 24 The first twi) performances in the Grant Recital Hall were by baritone David Laurent '49, '53 A.M., chairman of the music department, who sang Franz Schubert's Die Winterreise. 1966|." He then reads passages from four of his plays and answers questions. "VAT ednesday. A Theatre Arts 1/1/ Workshop witii Richard W w Foreman '59, playwright, di- rector, and founder of the Ontologi- cal-Hysteric Theatre of New York. He has won three Obie awards. Among his most popular successes was Doctor Sclavi/'f Magic Theatre, the Off-Broad- way hit of the 1972 season. Foreman also directed-the Joseph Papp produc- tion of The Threepeuiii/ Opera at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre. He recently completed a feature film called SfroM^' Medicine and has written a new musical, Afncaiiiis lii^^lnictiis, that he will direct next fall for Joseph Papp. "The energy from the audience is what interested me in the theatre. For the first five or six years my theatre was trying lo frustrate the audience's emotional habits and the ways they were to respond. Then I made a change and my plays became very, very fast, a kind of continual assault on every con- ceivable input about things that were passing on the stage, so that more and more in my work, anything could be ex- changed for anything else. What would really please me, and what I have not been able to do — yet — is that I would like to get into the position of coming to talk to a group of people and get myself into trouble and not know what to do next . . . what Wittgenstein was able to do, which was making the torment of his process available to his students." Thursday. Robert Bailey '70 — ac- tor, teacher, and director — is the first person to teach a class in the new theatre. Interesting — and po- etic — because Bob Bailey enrolled at Brown as a student of naval science and /;/s first classes were in this very build- ing, then Lyman Hall, headquarters for ROTC. He became involved in drama, however, and was awarded a Samuel Arnold Fellowship to study theatre in Europe and Africa. Recently, after sev- eral years with the Washington Theatre Laboratory, Bob moved to New York. He asks the thirty or so theatre arts students present to take off their shoes and socks. "What I'd like you to do first of all is walk, just walk," he says. "Walk naturally. . . . Just try to listen to me while you're walking. Figure it out — what does it mean to walk naturally? Now, who feels natural? Who feels un- natural still?" Bob watches the walkers and com- ments, "I suggest that to the degree that the skating pattern and skating rhythm is not broken, to that degree they had not gotten rid of their self-conscious- ness. All right. Why did we start with this? It seems pretty simple, doesn't it? — just walking. But look how much time we've spent on this. 25 "We need to spend time on the basics. Believe me, if I walked into the room and someone said, 'Bob, just walk,' it would be just as pathetic. You know why? Because we don't practice everyday. We don't sharpen our skills. . . . The secret of acting is the ability to repeat — it's as boring and mundane as that. Anybody can have a sudden flash of genius: my mother in the kitchen yell- ing at my father — brilliant! But the ability to repeat that, night after night, and matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. ..." Bob strips down to a leotard and demonstrates several body exercises, swinging the center of his body in cir- cles and his shoulders in circles. "You see," he cries exultantly, "this is our in- strument, this is our Stradivarius!" He slaps his chest. "Come on! This is it! It's all we have, the instrument that's got to play that soul. These exercises are some- thing that you should consider doing simply because it needs to be tuned. Think of it — what pianist doesn't prac- tice every day? What dancer doesn't dance every day? . . . and yet we don't — I don't, certainly — but you owe it to yourselves. Why do I teach you these? To encounter your own limitations." Back to the theatre at night for a reading of a one-act play called Deer, written by Cary Hammer '82 for a playwriting course at Brown. Directed by Melanie Jones '74, with Rob Anderson '71, Karen Prager '82, Amy Van Nostrand '75, and Rose Weaver — all, excepting Prager, mem- bers of the Trinit\' Square Repertory Company. The playwright, who is in the audi- ence, is surrounded bv friends, who present him with a red carnation and a large custom-made chocolate chip cookie, decorated with a figure in icing and the looped words "Grover the Cul- tured." Following the reading, the play- wright is brought up to sit on a stool and answer questions. Jim Barnhill says, "What we're trying to do this week is to show some of the kinds of things that can occur in this facility, and this is one example of things that can happen." The playwright is asked whether he in- tended the work to be a comedy or a drama and he replies, "Before I saw this I was unsure of what kind of play it was — whether it was comedy or drama or what . . . Now I'm just a little more un- sure. . . ." One student asks, "Do you find a lot of the crazy characteristics in the people in the play in yourself?" The playwright laughs. "I think it would take my roommate to answer that. . . ." Friday afternoon at the theatre. Work proceeds. Lights have been hung in the foyer, the doors inside painted red. The hammer- ing continues. Now gathered to discuss "Careers in Theatre" are five alumni and Jim Barnhill, who has nurtured countless lives in the theatre since his arrival at Bri>wn in 1953. In a sense, many of the week's events and even the theatre itself stand as an informal tribute to Barnhill himself, without whom the theatre arts would not have flourished so at Brown. The return of many alumni was heartwarming, and throughout the week I saw many happy greetings and embracings. As the panel begins, Leslie St. John Phillips '62 says she is exhausted and apologizes. Last night she opened a production of Cnntwal with sixty-five students — she is director of theatre at Holyoke Community' College — and she drove three hours to get here. Talking quietly about her work, her excitement shines through her fatigue. Leslie started work at the community college in 1971, having been hired to "teach a little English and do a play." (She'd studied directing in graduate school at Northwestern and taught briefly at a women's college in Chicago.) The col- lege had no tradition of theatre at all; Leslie was the first to do anything. "We Cyntlim Icniicr bl. Leslie St. John P/iiV/ij's '62 Don Wnrfiehl '66. started with six extension cords and one small dimmer board with a short," she says. "The only space I could find to use was an abandoned men's room. We re- hearsed there for three years. It had all the accoutrements of a men's room and it was very interesting to see Shake- speare there. . . . We performed tiver an abandoned swimming pool. "But," she says, "there had been no theatre before in the Holyoke area and it was really excihng to find that there was an audience and exciting students. There is the freedom to experiment; we can really do what we want to do. We don't have to make money; we can take risks; we can be in production as long as we want. . . . But we must continually justify what we do. At a state commu- nity college the arts are expendable. There are man\' who consider what we do to be good for the kids' but not of some value. "The best thing you can do if you want a job like this," she advises, "is to learn everything. Don't just direct. You hang the lights, |ell the lights, sell the tickets. Don't specialize." Leslie St. John Phillips is now work- ing in a beautiful 300-seat theatre "with a real box office" on the college's new campus. Tricia Sandberg '61 is an assistant professor at Brooklyn College, working as a director as well as a teacher of act- ing. "I guess my story is how a person can fail a course her last semester at Brown and not graduate and go on to get a Ph.D.," she says. Trish had ma- jored in French and German and, fol- lowing her failure to graduate from Brown, she headed for Paris. She worked in theatre and dance in and out of Paris for two and a half years. "I came home because I wanted to be a se- rious actress," she says. But she went right into This Was Burlesque. "You get into a syndrome of being thought of as a dancer rather than as an actor." She left dancing and for four years supported herself as an actress, "steadily enough TnciiJ SaiuUvrg '61. 26 to collect unemployment. "I began to find the whole sphere of acting very limited," she says, "so focussed on me, me, me, my talent, my agent, my resume, and so on. I began to think very seriously about directing, which was something I had never thought of doing before — also influ- enced by the fact that 1 had worked with so many nwful directors. "One morning in 1971 I woke up and 1 said, 'I'm going to cut my hair and I'm going to graduate school.' 1 started with two courses at Hunter and came to Brown for a semester to finish up that degree I never had and applied to other programs." Trish went to the University of Illinois and completed her work at NYU, writing her dissertation on bur- lesque. "Having become a scholar, never having planned to, and having become a teacher, never having planned to, I find that I can get back to acting — so I did an Off-Broadway showcase and am now doing a way-Off-Broadway piece and I find myself in a very pre- cious spot — which is developing my- self as an artist." Don Warfield '66 has worked as an actor in and out of New York and re- gional theatres since 1969, but he is present in his capacity as Broadway's newest producer — of the play G. R. Point (which closed several weeks later). Don's notes on producing: "If you want to produce a play on Broadway, the first thing you have to do is find a play and you'd better find one you believe in. You're going to spend at least two yf''"s with it — that's the time it takes to get a play onto Broadway — so you'd better love it. The next thing you do is to op- tion the play. It costs $2,000 to own a play for a year, to see if you can get it on. You can extend the option, but the front money needed, to print scripts, publishing, fliers, etc., is between $5,000 and $8,000. "The rule of thumb is that you can't sign a star until you have half the money and you can't get half the money until you have the star — so you have to talk fast. It's like getring into Equity. (Don's star was Michael MoriartyJ. "There are certain legal require- ments. You create a package of actors, directors |his director was William De- vane], and money. Broadway producers are constantly searching for a showcase situation to see what it looks like, to haVe an audience, so they're looking for a regional theatre to open with. We opened at Center Stage in Baltimore and Rcihiu'iifd violiiiisi Scrgiii Luca (here with Kiko Itasaku 'SO) conduets a master elnss in tlie Gniiit Reeitnl Hall. got good reviews, which permitted us to go to Broadway. Had we not gone any further we would have lost about one- fifth of the money that we stood to lose if \\ e'd gone on an extensive road show tryout. "The next thing is forming the partnership. Once you form the part- nership, only the company is liable; be- fore that everyone is pcrsojially liable. The first thing you do after forming the partnership is plan the opening night 27 party because you're so happy. The theatre your show will appear in is one of the last things you know about." "I never had any intention of being a drama critic whatsoever," says Cynthia Jenner '62, a drama critic. "I wanted to be an actress, of course, which I was . . ." From Brown Cynthia had gone to the Yale Drama School and then to England, where she stayed for several years. "Then 1 went back to grad school because I'd been doing things with my body and my head was hun- gry. I went back to do archaeology, which is what I had come to Brown to do in the first place. (Harold | Clurman [drama critic for The Nntion \ happened to be giving a course in drama criticism down the hall from my archaeology class and I wandered in. . . . He liked my writing. "I began to feel that what I did in writing was better than what I did in the theatre. I loved thedamn things |words|. I could make them do my bidding. I began to feel that you could express that experience of the theatre with pretty, beautiful craft. "There's no money in it. But I adore it." All the panelists, responding to a question from Jim Barnhill, felt strongly about the value of a liberal arts educa- tion. "I think a good liberal arts educa- tion is absolutely essential to a good actor's instrument and craft," Don Warfieldsays. "The theatre holds a mir- ror up to the culture and to what's going on, so the people who hold the mirror better have a real firm grasp of that cul- ture. What a liberal arts education teaches you to do is to think, and I think great acHng can be measured in 'thoughts per second.' Next tq^the new theatre, on the level of the lower quad near Soldier's Arch, the Arnold Lab, and the Lincoln Field Building, is the old Colgate Hoyt pool, a narrow- marble memory. This site, too, has been transformed. Now dancers skim over a steady sea of wood, reflected in a wall of mirrors. Tall, graceful windows beckon to a strolling audience where once brick had blocked all sight. On Friday night, the new dance studio is filled to overflowing for a per- formance of the Brown University Dance Ensemble. The studio seems a vessel of light sending out its beams into a vast dark space — and people, like moths, are drawn to the brightness. Billy Siegenfeld 70 (above) and his wife, Jennifer Donahue, presents a dance concert in the Ashamu Studio. Pulled irresistibly, they crawl in through the windows from the shadows of the night and stand, staring, through the door. It is wondrous magic. Saturday, April 21; The Big Day. Sunny. Not too cool, not too hot. Perfect. I stop for coffee under a small tent on the Green and wander in to hear what lyricist Al Uhry '58 and composer Robert Waldman '57 (co-producers of Tlic Robber Bridegroom), and Obie award-winning designer Jt)hn Lee Beatty '70 (Ain't Miihehni^in' , Whoopee, Faith Healer, among others) had to sav about musical theatre. Beatty says: "I think audiences have a much lazier ear than they used to with regard to sound. I find it's a real technical prob- lem; there are certain things you cannot do because of mikes." There is some discussion regarding sound men and technicians who have no sensitivity to the show — they only look at the dials. Beatty: "I walked into Ain't Misbehavin' the other day during a big number and the sound man was eating a pizza. In the middle of the number he just crum- pled the whole thing up and threw it away. . . ." "Musicals are coming from all over the country now," Al Uhry says. "The cream ends up on Broadway, but they're starhng in all sorts of places — Godspell started at Carnegie Tech, Zoot Suit came from L.A." "It could be a very healthy sign for regional theatres," says Beatty, "that they have gotten to a point where people want to exploit them . . . pro- ducers who want to try out a property at not-for-profit regional theatres — Trin- ity Rep, Center Stage — which is cheaper for them but involves legal difficulties with private money being put out in a non-profit situarton." 'I think the best way to write for a musical is to write a musical," says Al Uhn,'. "You don't always need high- caliber actors and singers to get a good look at it." "I'm always amused when you work with someone like Fiarold Pinter," Beatty reveals, "and they tell you se- cretly that they'd really like to do a mus- ical." He smiles. Dedication of the new Isabelle Russek Leeds Theatre and Ashamu Dance Studio. Presi- dent Swearer announces the creation of a James O. Barnhill Theatre Fund, pro- vided by an anonymous donor to permit projects that had had to be done on a shoestring before. It is a just-right trib- ute to the man who has done so much for theatre at Brown. Isabelle Leeds says: "This is un- doubtedly one of the most satisfying days of my life . . . This is my daughter Amy's alma mater 1'74|. It's my adopted alma mater, and I can't think of a better way to serve them than to have helped provide for these facilities." John Nicholas Brown, Senior Fel- low of the Corporation and chairman of the Planning and Building Committee, says: "There is something especially exciting to see a great building from the past develop into something useful for the present. When President Andrews dedicated the building he stressed the fact that the advent on campus of an athletic facility [Lyman Gym was Brown's first| would not in any way diminish the emphasis on the study of Latin and Greek. I suppose he might have said mens satia in corpore sano ... It is a privilege for me to stand here and see a catwalk take the place of a running 28 track, twenty-six laps to a mile. ..." Surrounded by applause, Jim Barnhill walks to the center of the stage. "This is a time of rejoicing and of reun- ion," he says, "of satisfaction. It is also a time of commitment to what we are about, to our art. This facility is a state- ment about the way we perceive our- selves, about values in our culture and the way we see our culture. We are say- ing that the work that has been done and the work that will be done is a cen- tral concern of our community. With pride in what has been accomplished, we will engage the future." Four students, draped with togas and garlanded with ivy, come to the stage, proclaiming, "We invoke thy name, oh Muses, with gifts of ivy. Bless us this day, Dionysus, and smile upon us." 7n the afternoon I slip into a dance performance with Billy Siegenfeld 70 of the Don Redlich Dance Company and his wife, Jennifer Dono- hue. They exult in the space; the crowd is rapt. Then to the dedication of the new music buildings — the renovated South Hall, to be known as the Orwig Music Building, given in memory of Benton B. Orwig '20 by his wife, Virginia Baldwin Orwig; the former carriage house, to be- come the Grant Recital Hall, named in memory of Max L. Grant '12; fheadjt)in- ing Fultim Rehearsal Hall, given in memory of Marshall N. Fultor. '20, by his wife, Mary Howe DeWolf Fulton. The Brown University Wind Ensemble, directed by John Christie, plays a move- able concert from the building's porti- cos, porches, and lawns. "Who would have thought," marvels John Nicholas Brown, "that what was originally con- ceived as a private house, then used as a hospital for private surgery, then since 1935 used by Bryant College for busi- ness education, would now be trans- formed into a center for the music arts?" David Laurent, chairman of the music department, says, "This is a far cry from No. 13 Prospect Street, our home when I joined the faculty almost thirty years ago. Today marks the first time that the department is figuratively under one roof, with proper space for facilities and practice." Later, Laurent takes me on a tour, the proud owner of a new home. "It's been a long, long haul," he says. "There are some bugs to be worked out of the building, but I think it will be the best looking music department on the East Coast. As a facility it's going to attract, or have a part in attracting, students to Brown — not only concentrators, but those who do music for enjoyment, as an avocation. Certainly for the first time classroom, rehearsal, and small per- formance facilities are in one unit; of course, it's very efficient. The orchestra and band now have their own rehearsal space and it's permanent — they won't have to take the stands and chairs down after each session." He moves on, showing off the classroom space — "much more efficient and sophisticated in terms of equipment" — library and listening space, a special seminar room, space for the teaching of instruments, space for more students . . . space to make music. Indeed, much music was made dur- ing this week-long celebration of the performing arts at Brown, from the first performance in the new Grant Recital Hall — baritone Dave Laurent singing Die Wiiiterreise by Franz Schubert — to a concert honoring American com- poser Samuel Barber with the Brown University Orchestra. (Barber received an honorary doctor of music degree.) Concert violinist Sergiu Luca conducted a master class and performed works for unaccompanied violin by Johann Sebastian Bach. Music professor Wil- liam Dinneen gave an organ recital; a concert of electronic music featured works by associate professor of music Gerald Shapiro. Visiting scholars and musicians discussed the impact of musi- cal research on the performance of music, and the Early Music Group gave a concert. The Brown University Chorus performed the Great Service by William Byrd — the first authentic performance of this work since the Puritans silenced the cathedral choirs in the 1640s. (The work had fallen into obscurity and no adequate edition was available until Yale music professor Craig Monson prepared a completely new edition, the one used in this premiere.) ^nd so it went, this celebration ^-1 of the performing arts at jL JL Brown. Their new homes are not perfect — but, then, what new home is? Already, though, there is a familiar clatter on the catwalk. Random, invitational notes of a horn tuning up skitter through the air. The image of a dancer glides up and down along a mir- rored wall. The roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd — they beckon. Come on in. Door's open. hnbiilc Russek Leeds, a Bioum trustee and diainnnn of the National Committee for the Performing Arts Fund at Brown, speaks at the dedication of the Isabelle Russek Leeds Theatre, the gift of her and her family. "Brown," she said, "is my adopted alma mater." Photographs by John Foraste 29 'This country is approaching energy problems as if in a dream' By Janet Phillips When tht' history textbooks are written, this past year will undoubtedlv stand out as a watershed in this coun- try's attempts to come to grips with the energy problem. After the Arab oil embargo of 1972-73 awoke us from the dream of limitless energy supplies, Americans lowered their thernn)stats to 65, began driving at 55 m.p.h. (more or less), and turned their attention to possible alternative sources of energy. But a five-year plateau in the energy crisis lulled us into complacency, until it began to seem that the only legacy of that forebod- ing winter of '72-73 was the higher prices we were paying for the energy we used. Then the cutoff of Iran's oil supply last winter reminded us once again of the realities of our de- pendence on foreign oil, and the precariousness of our situation. The accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in March not only intensified doubts about the current safety of nuclear power, it threatened the very availabilit\' of nuclear power as an option when the squeeze was already on us. President Carter's move to decontrol oil prices raised the specter of inflation and of exorbitant costs for such essentials as ht)me heating oil, and — to top it all — the gasoline shortages in Califor- nia and elsewhere made it clear how far we were from devising rational, workable solutions to such crises. For all practical purposes, we are no closer in 1979 to a real solution to the energy crisis than we were in 1973. At Brown, the Center for Energy Studies has sponsored a University Lectureship series on energy issues every year since its inception in 1976. The purpose of the lecture series, according to the Center's director. Professor of Engineering Joseph Kestin, is to present as wide a spectrum of views as possible and "ask people to make up their own minds." In 1978-79, the choice of speakers and topics was especially timely. Thev included George Wald, professor emeritus of biology at Harvard, a Nobel laureate who is a well-known anti-nuclear advocate; Alvin Weinberg, director of the private Institute for Energy Analysis and former director of the Oak Ridge NaHonal Labora- tory; Norman Rasmussen, head of the department of nuclear engineering at MIT and director of the "WASH- 1400" report on nuclear safety; and Leon Cooper, professor of physics at Brown and a Nobel laureate, all of whom addresseci nuclear power and related issues. Also on the list were Elliot Montroll, professor of physics and chemistry at the University of Rochester, who spoke on the history of coal; former Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, on the New England energy scene; Ronald Blank- den, of the Department of Energy's Tokamak Sys- tems Branch, and Harold Furth, professor of as- trt)phvsics at Princeton, on magnetic fusion energy; and William T. Slick, Jr. '49, a senior vice president of Exxon, on the oil situation and U.S. energy policy. The series made it clear that consensus on any energy question, even among experts in the field, is difficult to reach; the issues involved are too vast and complex to admit of obvious solutions. But it did make one essential point painfully clear: that the American dream of safe, cheap, non-polluting, widely available, and inexhaustible sources of energy is an illusion. No such sources or technol- ogies exist now to meet our present energy needs, either in generating electricity, heating buildings, or prmiding fuel for transportation. Realistically, some trade-off among the various factors — safety, cost, availability, etc. — is unavoidable at present, and disagreements stem from the differ- ing values and priorities that people attach to each of those factors. The series also underscored the fact that the fundamental issues of the energy crisis are political, not technological, and that it is the political and policy questions that have gone begging while the partisans of various "solutions" play tug-of-war with one another. Most of the speakers in this year's series echoed NcuJ the minister of a small Rhode Is- land church when he was a senior at Brown and didn't retire until 1977, at age 77, when he completed twelve years as assistant minis- ter of The First Church of Christ in Wethers- field, Conn., where he now resides. His special part-time responsibility during those years was ministry to some 400 older parishioners, ranging in age from 65 to 95. "I treasure the inscribed pewter plate retire- ment gift recording my service in Wethers- field, and the fact that my wife of fifty years was able to enjoy the church reception with me, although she died six months later." Albert reports that a grandchild, Sharon Raseh '81, is a member of the Brown women's crew. ^ C Stanley D. Cuh'er was honored re- ^\J cently by the Springfield (Mass.) Newspapers' 25- Year Club with a special award. Stan retired in 1964 after thirty years as a reporter and copy editor. Marguerite Lingham Worthtngton, who re- tired from the faculty of Virginia State Col- lege in 1970, has been honored by that col- lege with the establishment of a fellowship- scholarship in her name. The scholarship will be awarded annually to the highest ranking sophomore student enrolled in a foreign lan- guage class. ^ ^7 Merrill W. Chase reports that ^m / although he became professor emeritus at The Rockefeller University, New York City, on July 1, 1976, he has continued to run his research laboratory, studying both native mycobacterial antigens and tuberculin preparations currently employed for diag- nosis. His laboratory is funded through 1979 — the twenty-third year of his grant — by the National Institute of Allergy and Infec- tious Diseases. W. Wyeth Willard writes he is completing his nineteenth year as pastor of The Little Church on The Corner in Waltham, Mass. He also teaches in the Sunday School, work- ing with boys and girls from ten to thirteen years of age. ^ Q Louisa Partington Fanale, a pro- ^bO fessor at Upsala College who has helped more than 400 nurses pursue their full liberal arts degrees, was given a distin- guished teaching award at the college re- cently. The biology teacher was named the winner of the Lindback Foundation Award, given each year at selected eastern colleges to recognize superior college teaching. Four years ago. Professor Fanale instituted Upsa- la's program in which the college offers up to two years of credit to RNs for their academic accomplishments in earning professional licenses. Her program was so successful that she is now devoting more time working with nurses, in a newly created position of coor- dinator of allied health subjects at the col- lege.

A head 3" class agent for the past twenty-four years, Teresa has been one of Pembroke and Brown's most effective workers in this vital area of University activity. In 1974, on her 35th reunion, she boosted her class participation 18 percent to a record high of 61 percent for the women of 1939. Part of Teresa's success as a class agent has been based on her style. Using the personal approach, she has been known to write voluminous and chatty notes to her classmates at the top, the bottom, and even in the margins of the more formal fund letters that have gone out over her name. The Barrington, Rhode Island, resident has served as a director of the Associated Alumni and is now in her second term as president of the Pem- broke Club of Providence. Teresa Mellone has taught school in Barrington since 1955 and also taught in the American Dependents School in Ansbach, Germany. Her Brown Bear citation said, in part: "The worth of your two Brown degrees has been multiplied countless times through your life as scholar and teacher. For nearly four decades, while students in our country and abroad were grow- ing intellectually under your caring, skilled instruction, you re- mained the consummate alumna." A member of the Brown Bear selection committee added a thought. "Teresa Mellone," he said, "embodies the very best of Pembroke within a very great univer- sity. She has remained completely devoted to Brown while at the same time keeping alive in myriad ways the great heritage of Pembroke." /.B. 47 Robert L.
