We have reached $ 1 58 mi 1 1 ion , and we did it 5 ix months early ! I report this with great pride and with gratitude to all of you who had a part in our success. The Campaign for Brown, however, will not conclude until June 30, I983. The needs identified at the beginning of the Campaign nearly five years ago have increased, and the costs of adequately meeting these needs have, in many cases, skyrocketed . This in no way lessens the remarkable accomplishment of raising the largest goal in this University's history. What it does mean is that we have a good start on providing the financial resources Brown requires and deserves. We must not slacken our efforts now. There are still thousands of you who, I trust, want to be part of the group which is making this Campaign a success. In the next months, Campaign efforts will have a sharper focus. There will be a heightened emphasis on endowment, particularly endowment for financial aid. There will be a concerted effort to complete funding for building projects, increasing the cash flow to pay off the mortgage early. And we must continue to stress the Brown Fund's pivotal role in allowing Brown to maintain an annual balanced budget. With the $2.6 million Alumni Challenge, your Brown Fund gifts will be worth two and three times your investment in Brown. There will be an official end to the Campaign for Brown, but out efforts - and your generosity - must be ongoing. Brown is a dynamic institution, and our fundraising cannot be static. Brown must, and will, have the financial resources appropriate to the University's achievements and reputation. My deepest appreciation for all you have done and will continue to do for Brown.

Assets frozen? Want to make a substantial gift to the Campaign, but find your assets frozen? Your life insurance has great charitable potential. Properly thawed, it can be an attractive gift in an amount you've always wanted to contri- bute. You can assign to Brown a life insurance policy you no longer need for your financial security. You will have the satisfaction of contributing to the Campaign plus an income tax deduction for the present value of the policy. Or, you can name Brown as the beneficiary of a policy you retain, knowing that in the future your generous planning will benefit Brown and your estate will save on taxes.

With this in mind, we would like to call attention to the unusual scheduling in the Kt League which places an additional handicap on football teams at Brown. By mutual agreement in the Ivy League, the league dates have been frozen solid, year after year, hut in such a way as to favor certain schools. As we look at the Ivy com- posite schedule listed in the 1982 Brown Football Press Book, here are our observa- tions and conclusions: Yale and Dartmouth are highly favored, Cornell and Harvard less so, while Penn, Columbia, Princeton, and Brown are "shafted," or in the pits, to put it politely (?). Here's why. Yale and Dartmouth, be- tween them the winners of the heavy major- ity of Ivy titles through the years past, have a luxury not afforded the other Ivy mem- bers. After the season's opening games, all with Ivy schools opposing each other, Yale and Dartmouth each are able to develop their maximum strength for the remainder of their Ivy schedule by playing three non-hn/ opponents in succession before meeting their next Ivy opponents. The benefit is great, since without affecting the race for the Ivy title, Yale and Dartmouth can develop and test their players without penaltv other than possible relatively unimportant non-Ivy losses. This has paid off, obi'iousli/. Only rarely has a school like Brown or Penn been able to break the monopoly enjoyed by Yale and Dartmouth in winning Ivy titles. To conserve space, we'll compare onlv Brown and Dartmouth. After each of these three teams has played its first four games, Yale and Dartmouth will have played no other Ivy League opponents, except the opening games, while Brown will have played two more Ivy opponents. To add to Brown's problems, playing increasingly strong URl teams the second game com- pounds the burden. URl is committed to ever-stronger football teams, loaded with transfers and "redshirt" fifth-year players, both banned by the Ivy League, but an obvi- ous advantage for URl. We could go into much greater depth, I but BAM space forbids. So we conclude D with these observaHons: 1) Ivy League schedules can and should he redrafted so that all Ivy schools will play other Ivy schools on the same dates in a ten-game schedule. It would probabK' take united action by the schools other than Yale and Dartmouth to force this, along with re- scheduling of non-h'v opponents. 2) As for continuing to play URl, at the risk of hurting Brown's chances in the Ivy League, the game should be at a much later date on the schedule. In fairness to Brown football teams and coaching staffs, we'd like our interested fel- low alumni'ae to be fully informed about these severe handicaps. JOHN CHILD '29 Del Mar, Calif. LOU FARBER '29 Tucson, Anz. TED GIDDINGS '29 Pittsfield. Mass. Bulimia (continued) Editor: I can't decide which approach to "bulimia" is worse, the implicit moralism of your September article or the frank moraliz- ing of Caleb R. Woodhouse's November let- ter. As to the first: everyone obediently condemns the media pressure for thinness, but what about the psychiatric pressure to eat only in moderation (which for many people just isn't much fun) or else be branded as obsessive or compulsive or something else bad? Of course, people who "binge and purge" feel ashamed and guilty. They'd need tremendous independence of judgment not to in the face of all the propa- ganda telling them how "abnormal" and "disturbed" they are. What is this but mor- alizing in misleading medical terms? A fairei ^' medical approach would be to point out the fS medical dangers of these eating habits and let each person decide, as people do about smoking and high-risk sports, whether for him these dangers outweigh the benefits. Why don't articles about "bulimia" ever make the crucial distinction between helping people who want to change and pressuring and stigmatizing people who are satisfied with themselves as they are? I think it's because of the psvchiatric tendency* to define disapproved-of wants as themselves diseases, which is quite a threat to personal dignity and autonomy. As for Mr. Woodhouse's view that to r^ b Retire to an island where you can play 30lf every day of the week without playing the same hole twice. On Hilton Head Island, you can play a different golf course every day of the week. In fact, there are ten courses to choose from; and because Hilton Head lies just off the coast of South Carolina, it has the perfect climate for year-around golf.

Dolphin Head and Bear Creek are private clubs with member- ships available. We also offer great living in beautiful residential homes with prices beginning at $105,000, including land. Each home is custom built and designed to blend in with the seaside landscape of live oak, pine and grassy dunes. You'll find residential waterfront condominiums too, with prices from $175,000. So whether you want a home or a condominium, we think you'll agree that Hilton Head Plantation is a great place to live and play. Maturally, the best way to find out about Hilton Head Plantation is to experience it. We'll arrange for a get- acquainted visit. You'll stay in one of our furnished villas. Play a round of golf.

New York N Y 10022 "food abuse" in a world wliere some are hungry is immoral, one can equally well condemn anyone who lives in plenty while others must live in want. This includes any- one with a car, or a stereo, or a refrigerator, or even more clothing than he needs to pro- tect himself from the elements. I thinlc these are quite reasonable criticisms. But of course tljey applv to all middle-class Americans, and probablv to virtually all BAM readers as well. Why single out "food abusers"? Your prejudices are showing, Mr. Woodhouse. DIANA ACKERMAN Associate Professor of Philosophy Editor: Caleb Woodhouse makes a fine conclusion in his letter in the November issue: "The voluntary abuse of food, as long as anyone hungers anywhere, is simply wrong." That the rest of his comments focus on bulimics, however, is to scapegoat a par- ticular group of people while encouraging the rest of us to feel smug and self- righteous. As a former bulimic and current volun- teer in The Hunger Project, I have Iceen in- terest both in the rehabilitation of bulimics and in the eradication of hunger worldwide.

In November 1981 a young man formed a new company whose purpose was to achieve consistently superior investment perform- ance. A few dozen individuals and organizations had enough confidence in the founder and his ideas to become clients. First year results (11-30-81 to 11-30-82): Average appreciation of accounts under management +31.9%. During this time the Standard & Poor's 500 rose 9.9% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 16.7%. While past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance, you are in the favorable position of having more evidence to judge than the original investors. The young man is Dennis Grossman, an alumnus of the Wharton and Chicago business schools. The firm, Grossman & Co., provides investment management services to individuals, corpora- tions, trusts, pension and profit sharing plans, including IRA and Keogh.

It was hearten- ing to me to see the negative responses to David Marcus's piece (BAM, July) from in- dividuals of middle age and/or mind. When I wore white tennis shoes with my forties- style clothing to the Campus Dance and no balding, greying, or suitably-wrinkled per- sons chided me for it, I was afraid we were losing our touch. Have older alumni forgotten that youth is a period when shocking elders is a chief satisfaction? Sure, we've got ideas, but a lot of the good ones are already staked.

Right now, I feel age denounces youth out of the desire to stave off a feeling of anachronism. On the other hand, as I get older I'll probably censure youth for the wrong it commits. 1 don't have much money, nor a lot of weight to bounce around; at age twen- t\-five, somebody might call me a mere stripling. But 1 know one thing: There are universals of human experience (often con- nected with the fundamental passions), but the world is changing. Dante rejected the scholarly grammar of his day and produced the vernacular masterpiece. (Wait, don't applaud me for reading Dante — 1 don't want to hear it.) Get it? Our generation is just like Reagan's administration. We'd like to take credit for all the good things happening in the world today, and claim we inherited all the bad. Maybe we'll learn from your mistakes, maybe from our own. Right now, we're chomping the bit, and hoping all the old fogeys will get out of the way before we turn fogey ourselves. The point is: There's a new literacy in the air. Like it or not, the mass culture which dominates the world we've grown up m has had its impact. Many of my class- mates were able to produce more original metaphors with reference to Bugs Bunny cartoons than standard literary allusion. Not illiteracy — a neiu literacy. Authors...

In effect he was saying that these books sell because the author writes i a language understood by the public. In tfii day of mass media, inevitably, there is a new literacy. A literacy of pop culture transmitted by mass media. When I travelei to Europe, young people who could speak little more of English or French than I coulc of their language, nevertheless understood when I referred to Aretha Franklin or John Lennon. Defenders of intellectual culture un- doubtedly decry this trend; but it appears ti be the same kind of struggle as that of grammarians to "purify" the language. As e young person who is (in my own view) appallingly literate in this new pop culture, I can only say, "I did not build this house; merely grew up within." The complaints about Marcus's piece center on the lack of ideas. Yet, such attack must presuppose a foundation of ideas, or why bother? Our differences, cultural and genera- tional, incite a universal response. Age often resents youth because youth rejects tradition. Youth often resents age because it attempts to impose tradition. Faulkner said one of the strongest human traits is the will to freedom. We have that, as past generations have also. The mark of maturit is respect for each other's differences, as well as the universals. R. P. SHEPARD III '8 Chattanooga, Tenn. m Three strikes Jtl Editor: With reference to the "buffoon- ery" caption on page 20 of the June/July is- sue of the BAM, under a picture of the Gates family and Mrs. Gates's request (pagi 2 of November BAM) for an "immediate coi rection," I'm all for Mrs. Gates. She was no the onhi one confused by the misplaced cap rion! What you need is a more experienced lay-out and/or caption person, plus a more gracious way of making apologies! Then proceed to page 8 of this same November issue where the editorial com- ment following Dale Call's letter states that "letters to the editor are not edited to im- prove the writer's use of the language ("to join we [sic] vivisectionists"). Only misstate- ments of fact are corrected." If that's your policy, as you say, then it's about time you made a policy in favor of correcting mis- spellings (proceed to page 9, November BAM), such as the three which appear in Curvin Trone, Jr.'s '50 comments intended to help sell the Jay Berr\' [sic] '50 book, Gen- tlemen Under the Elms. I'm sure the three liv- ing members of those gentlemen were writhing as they read "memoriable," "escence," and "Pheonix." Maybe Mr. Trone's handwriting was misinterpreted; 16 llO rj maybe the typesetter goofed — BUT the proofreader should have caught and cor- rected the errors. You know: Three strikes and you're out!

Individual adivrtisers, not the magazine's edito- rial staff, arc responsible for the accuracy of their ads. — Editor Sense of humor Editor: Just received the November issue of the Broion Alumni Monthly and enjoyed the brouhaha over the "incorrect use of the nominative pronoun." Does the absence of class numerals mean that Dale H. Cali is also not a Brown graduate? In recognition of your sense of humor, I am enclosing a check to support the good work that goes on at the Brown Alumni Monthly. RICHARD M. BEDROSIAN '62 New York Citi/ Dale Cali is not a Broivn alumnus. — Editor jfWhose musical needs? Editor; I do not agree with the Brown University Orchestra's change in goals as outlined by Mr. Wolfgang Balzer in the Oc- tober issue [Carrying the Mail). I believe the orchestra should serve the music needs of lall the students at Brown who as a part of their education in the arts wish to develop their instrumental talents and enhance their music appreciation. Having an orchestra composed of specially recruited students could result in the exclusion of most stu- dents of other concentrations besides music. I would be sorry to see music as an extra- curricular achvity disappear from Brown to become an exclusively "spectator sport." ALFRED SCHNEIDER (parent) Framinglmm, Mass.

There were no ticker-tape parades, nor did the bells atop University Hall and Carrie Tower peal in merry unison to celebrate the fund-raising milestone. But the tidings were greeted with joy- ful noises from the Brown community. "When we began planning this campaign," said Henrv D. Sharpe, Jr. '45, national chairman of the five-year effort, "no one, including our consult- ants, believed we would achieve a goal of this magnitude." Brown had never before raised more than $30 million in a campaign. "The leap from $23 million in our last campaign, which ended in 1972, to 5158 million," said Vice President for Development Robert Seiple '65, "brings us in line with comparable institutions with comparable-size alumni bodies. These campaign figures suggest that we're now in the big leagues. And for the first time, giving to Brown is at a level where it begins to underwrite a first-rate institution." The early achievement of Brown's campaign goal will be celebrated at a black-tie dinner in mid-February for Corporation members and top Cam- paign workers. That evening will be, however, but a brief time-out from a concentrated effort during the next five months to ensure that Brown's press- ing financial needs are met. "We've reached our goal early," Seiple says, "and we're grateful for that. But now we need to put as much icing on the cake as we can." The "icing" will include gifts and pledges in excess of the $160 million already received or committed, with a particular focus on unrestricted gifts to the Brown Fund, which this year is working towards its highest annual goal ever — $5 million (BAM, Novem- ber). "The Brown Fund will continue to be a top priority," Seiple says. Other goals for the remainder of the year, he says, include "knocking down some of the bond issues" on new buildings. Of the $38 million in construction projects the University has undertaken in the c last five years, $15 million remains to be funded. Brown also will be attempt ing to raise $1.5 million for a new chemical engineering program in com- pliance with the terms of a $550,000 gift from Exxon. And $436,000 is needed to complete a humanities chal- lenge grant from the Mellon Founda- tion that will award Brown $1 million the University raises $2.1 million. "One thing you do in a campaign,' Seiple adds, "is to raise expectations within the University. We have done that, but a lot of those expectations haven't been realized." A special sub- committee of the Campaign Select Committee (to be known, appropri- ately, as the "Big Bang Committee") will concentrate, Seiple says, on raisin} money to name the new geology-chem' istry building and the Program in Med icine. The committee will be seeking very large gifts — in the millions — for these purposes, because, Seiple ex- plains, "you can't raise that kind of money $50,000 at a whack." Stepping up the rate of cash flow t( the Campaign will be another challeng for workers. "We ha\'e about $80 mil- The Campaign 'Whip' Vie "whip behind the nude tram" is how Bob Seiple referred to Ciiinpaign Chairman Henry Sliarpe, ]r.

To date, the Campaign for Brown has produced more than $10 million for financial aid, $93 mil- llion for academic purposes, and sub- stantial sums for construction and ren- ovation. Rejuvenated buildings include the John Hay Library (BAM, September 1981) and six departmental offices (BAM, December 1981) located in his- toric eighteenth- and nineteenth-cen- tury houses. In addition to the geolo- gy-chemistry building, new facilities now in use are the Olney-Margolies Field House (BAM, December 1981), a imajor addition to Brown's athletic complex at Aldrich-Dexter Field; a computer science laboratory and audi- jtorium (BAM, November); and the Center for Health Care Studies (BAM, April). Construction is proceeding on another addition to Brown's biomedical ifacilities at the J. Walter Wilson Labora- tory. The Campaign total includes forty gifts of $1 million or more, including eleven endowed professorships at $1 million each. In a letter to Corporation members, Henry Sharpe praised their example to other Brown donors. The 150 current and emeritus Corporation members had been asked to contribute $30 million towards the Campaign goal, Sharpe noted, and that target has been exceeded by $12 million with fur- ther commitments pending. Sharpe also lauded the "singular leadership" of President Howard Swearer, Chancellor Richard Salomon '32, and Vice Chan- cellor Thomas J. Watson, Jr. '37, "who have been at the apex of this campaign from its very inception." Indeed, agrees Bob Seiple, "Howard Sources of gifts / pledges as of December 31, 1982 Realized bequests 5% Other 7% Corporations 8% Foundations 10% Individuals 70% Swearer's involvement in this Cam- paign cannot be overstated. His efforts for Brown have been, in my opinion, unmatched by those of any president at any other institution. Howard has spent an enormous amount of time and human energy, and he has asked any- one for any amount of money without blinking." As chief of the nationwide vol- unteer effort, Heivy Sharpe, says Seiple, has been "the whip behind the mule train. His emotional involvement has been nothing short of fantastic. Hank is the conscience of the Cam- paign. He has absolutely philosophi- cally pure motives in fundraising: He is deeply committed to independent higher education, and he is committed to Brown." Reminded of Sharpe's fre- 19 quent appearance (posed in costumes ranging from a fruit vendor to a foot- ball player) in Campaign promotional publications, Seiple smiles. "In a way. Hank embodies the Campaign for Brown: It's serious business, but we enjoy doing it. " The serious business will continue through this June, and bevond. Brown has reached its tive-vear goal ahead of time, but as Howard Swearer says, "This is no time to relax. The needs are still great." A.D. THE FACULTY: Harper named to new Kapstein Chair As a teenager growing up in Brook- lyn, Michael Harper was advised to enter a vocational training course, to become, perhaps, an auto mechanic. Luckily, he ignored that spurious piece of educational "wisdom," went off to college, eventually earned two master's degrees, and became a poet. And not just any poet, but one of the nation's finest. Volumes of Harper's poems have been nominated for the National Book Award, won the Black Academy of Arts and Letters's distinguished vol- ume of poetry award, and been cited by the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the National Institute of Arts and Letters. Now Harper, who has taught cre- ative writing at Brown for eleven years, Kapstein Professor Michael Harper. has been honored for his teaching. He has been named to the new Israel J. Kapstein Professorship of English, es- tablished this vear with a $l-million gift from Marvyn Carton '38, in honor of the 1926 Brown alumnus and professor emeritus of English. Harper says he is moved by the tribute. "But the most important thing for me," he adds, "is that a number of colleagues respect me and my work enough to want to do this." The forty-four-vear-old poet, whose imposing physique recalls his brief ca- reer in professional football, teaches both poetry writing and literature to undergraduates and graduates. From 1970 until this year, he directed Brown's highly-regarded Graduate Program in Writing. As a teacher. Harper attempts to be a mentor to his students, to "leave the door open" for learning. "I work my students hard," he has said of his style. "People love to be told what to do. But so much of being a writer is real discovery — about yourself, about what your own vision is. That's what I feel my function is — helping the stu- dent discover himself." He himself lacked a formal mentor. Harper says. "If I had had writers as teachers, it would have saved me a whole lot of time." He was influenced, however, by writers such as Ralph Elli- son, Sterling Brown, and Robert Hay- den, "because of the way they under- stand the creative process." Harper's former students clearly regard him as a mentor, and an ex- tremely influential one. "Harper chal- lenges me," said Everett Hoagland '73 A.M., a published poet who teaches English at Southeastern Massachusetts University, in an interview three years ago. "He teaches me about poetry, about myself, about kinship." Novelist Gayl Jones '75 Ph.D. described Harper as "special. He was my advisor for four years and I trusted what he said from the beginning. . .(He is) an essential poet. There is, I want to say, a 'cosmic energy' about him." By all accounts, a special brafid of energy marked Israel Kapstein's forty- one-year tenure on the Brown English faculty. In Gentlemen Under the Elms (1982), author Jay Barry describes Kap- stein as a legend. "His colleagues in the English department called them- selves 'Kappy's Boys' in deference to the impact he had on them. To his students on two campuses he was something of a hero." Pembroke stu- dents voted Kapstein their favorite pr» fessor of the year "with monotonous regularity." Carton, a member of the Board of Trustees, is an investment banking com pany executive who has served on sever. University committees, including the Third Century Fund. A.L Kucera named to Seed Professorship Born in Czechoslovakia, Henry Kucera did not learn how to speak English until he was twenty-four years old. Three years later he had earned his Ph.D. at Harvard in Slavic linguis- tics. Since then he has expanded his study of Russian and German to in- clude the study of all language acquisi tion and computer simulations of the human mind. Recently, Kucera, who has devoted his entire life to language, was named the first Fred M. Seed Pro- fessor of Linguistics and Cognitive Sci- ences. A linguistics and Slavic languages professor at Brown for twenty-seven years, and director of Brown's Institute for Cognitive and Neural Research, Kucera (KOOTCH-rah) was trained in general linguistics, but he has spent a good deal of his academic career study ing the English language. "English has become the international language," h< explains. "It's the central language. And most computer analyses are done in English." In the mid-1960s Kucera and an associate compiled one of the largest computerized collections of samples of written English. The collec- tion, which includes more than one million words, is known as the "Brown corpus." It has been used in scientific research for purposes as diverse as devising a new keyboard for typewrit- ers and computers, to comparing Brit- ish and American uses of the language. He has recently published a book that is a continuation of a studv he has been doing with Nelson Francis, an emeritus professor of linguistics. The new book. Frequency Analysis of English Usage: Lexicon and Grammar, is, accord- ing to Kucera, "a complete grammatical analysis of the data base. We were looking at sentence structure, and we have one chapter on sentence complex- fc: Tn- f£; ity. It's been known for a long time that in certain styles — government writ- ing or legal writing for instance — the sentences are twice as long as aver- age. It's generally thought that this cor- I responds to complexity, but we found that this is not necessarily so. Instead, the length of sentences corresponds to tremendous amounts of modifications of nouns. The sentences are 'noun heavy' with lots of dependent clauses." The past ten years, Kucera has fo- cused his research on how language is learned and on human cognition, the mental process by which knowledge is acquired. "Language learning is differ- ent from other kinds of learning. It depends on exposure to environment; it's not like learning to walk, or learning math. Mothers don't say to their children 'This is a noun, this is a verb.' And it's not something we're born with." Kucera says that a Chinese child brought into the United States will learn English perfectly, without an accent. "But that ability fades after the age of thirteen, give or take a couple of years. Thirteen is the age of maturity, and the physiological ability to learn language becomes more rigid. This is limited only to accent, though, and has nothing to do with syntax or usage. Joseph Conrad and Vladimir Nabokov both wrote beautifully in English, even though they spoke with heavy accents. And people like Henry Kissinger, or Zbigniew Brzezinski, who learned Eng- lish when he was ten, both speak with heavy accents." Kucera got involved with comput- ers as a result of a trade he made with the late applied mathematics professor William Prager, who was the director of the computer center. "I was working on a project that required unmanage- able amounts of data, comparing the German, Russian, and Czech lan- guages. I went to Prager, who said the work could be computerized, and when I asked who could do it for me, he said nobody. So we made a deal that if he taught me how to program a computer, 1 would teach him to read Russian. I think I got the better deal." His work with computers led him to study the parsing of language — how a sentence is broken down into the form and function of each part. He is 'working on getting a computer to au- |tomatically parse sentences. He will then try to simulate on the computer how language is processed and Seed Professor Henry Kucera. learned. "Computers are very stupid. They have to be given explicit instructions about every step. They are very pre- cise. Computers don't process language the way humans do. Humans take into account all different things, including knowledge of the world and acoustics. Computers have no knowledge of the world, so you have to be very specific and, in a sense, simulate the intuitive knowledge of the human and give it to the computer." Kucera has designed a "parent" computer and a "child" computer to simulate language instruction. "The 'child' computer is exposed to a simple sentence and tries to 'speak' in differ- ent ways. The 'parent' machine says 'yes' or 'no' depending on whether or not the answer was right, much in the same way a mother would raise her eyebrows if her child was right or wrong. It's a process of abduction; there is no overt instruction involved." Funding for the $1 million endowed chair has been donated by the Fred M. Seed Foundation of Minneapolis, Min- nesota. James Seed '63, son of the late Fred M. Seed, is owner of the Buff- inton Box Company of East Provi- dence, which manufactures cardboard boxes. K.H. IN THE NEWS: 'Rape is the issue, not graffiti' The paint sprayed on the steps out- side the Rockefeller Library was an angry red. Angry, too, was the mes- sage it spelled out: "1:3 WOMEN ARE RAPED. FIGHT BACK!" On the night of October 26, thirty- eight such messages appeared on buildings, sidewalks, and stairs around the Brown campus. Caught in the act by security officers, two undergraduate women and a graduate student appre- hended on the Rockefeller steps claimed full responsibility for the graffiti in that location (although they denied painting all the slogans discov- ered around the campus). The women — Wendy Becker '83, Susan Mills '84, and the graduate stu- dent (whose name has not been re- leased by the University at her re- quest) — are all members of Feminists Involved in Reaching Equality (FIRE). Signs posted around campus the morn- ing after the painting episode explained FIRE'S motive for the graffiti. "We are a group of women who walk in fear," the signs read. "We have worked through conventional means to fight rape and other forms of violence against women, but these means do not address the root of the problem; attitudes toward women that underlie rape are ignored. When one out of three women are raped [a statistic that some authorities dispute; one out of four is another often-cited percentage], how can we remain silent?. . .The ef- fects of rape far overshadow the annoyance of graffiti. Rape is the issue, graffiti is not." The graffiti, however well-inten- tioned, violated University regulations and thus prompted disciplinary action. The three women were suspended for the remainder of the academic year by 21 the L'ni\ersity Council of Student Af- fairs (UCSA), were ordered to pay the S3''5 tab for removing the graffiti, and were assigned thirt\' hours of work to be performed for the University. The students' suspensions, however, were a matter of record only- All three were allowed by the UCSA to remain at Brown, with notice of the disciplinary suspensions added to their transcripts. Upset with (among other things) what thev viewed as discrepancies between their penalty and less severe punishments given to other student vandals in recent months, the three women in November appealed their suspensions to President Howard Swearer. He has yet to issue a decision on their appeal. In the meantime, the Brown Daily Herald carried a barrage of letters, op-ed pieces, and editorials relating to the graffiti incident. Some student let- ter-writers suggested the graffitists had discredited their own cause with an act of vandalism. "FlRE's aim should be to publicize this serious issue with educa- tion," wrote one sophomore male. "Instead, their attitude suggests a de- structive point of view." Others supported the attention-get- ting act, and wondered why Brown as a community seemed to be more in- censed about "superficial" damage to buildings than about the danger to women of being raped or assaulted. "Anger directed towards the act of graffiti," wrote a senior woman in a Herald op-ed piece, "but not respond- ing to the widespread incidence of rape, is in keeping with a morality which reveres private property over and above a commitment to protecting people from racist or sexist violence." Whether rape is "widespread" at Brown is arguable. Sexual violence is, however, a grim reality for women on College Hill, as it is everywhere. Statis- tics compiled by Brown's Police and Security Services show that in 1982, students reported two rapes, five at- tempted rapes, eleven incidents of ex- hibitionism, and fifty-one incidents that fall into a police-report category called "woman annoyed," usually verbal har- assment. Security director John Kupre- vich estimates that about half of the rapes and attempted rapes that are reported to his department are commit- ted by acquaintances of the victims, often fellow Brown students. Members of a new student-run 22 group, "Brown Against Rape (BAR)," insist the numbers of rapes and at- tempted rapes actually are much higher than statistics indicate, but that shame and outdated social attitudes prevent many women from reporting such crimes. "We're having a much higher reporting rate" on sex crimes in recent years, says Security Coordinator Glenn Normile '72, "but that still doesn't mean we have a 100-percent reporting rate. I don't think any police depart- ment in the country would claim that." Recently Brown has developed a number of programs to increase awareness of crime prevention, includ- ing special lectures and workshops on rape prevention. Various deans, fac- ulty, campus committees, and ad hoc student groups such as BAR hope to increase both the number and scope of activities aimed at educating and pro- tecting Brown students. The red graffiti that marred Brown's campus in October have been erased, washed out of sight. The ugly fact of rape, however, cannot be scrubbed away. As the graffitists await the result of their appeal, they and many others at Brown continue to keep the rape issue alive, and to work (together, separately, and often with widely di- vergent philosophies) toward making the University safer for women. A.D. In an upcoming issue, the BAM will exam- ine sexual crimes, iiarassment , and atti- tudes on campus in more detail. UPDATE: Dannenfelser drops discrimination suit Former Brown chaplain Richard Dannenfelser has dropped his lawsuit charging the University with religious, sexual, and racial discrimination. The suit, filed in July 1981 in U.S. District Court, was Dannenfelser's last remaining avenue to seek reinstate- ment and compensation for his 1980 firing, which the University said was prompted solely by budgetary concerns and a four-year-old staffing plan. Stu- dents, faculty, and alumni rallied to the popular Protestant chaplain's defense when his dismissal became known. Some of them maintained Dannenfelser had been fired because of his liberal activism and outspokenness. University officials denied those allegations. Dannenfelser had filed the discrim- ination suit after complaints he made to the state Commission for Human Rights and the federal Equal Employ- ment Opportunity Commission were dismissed in the summer of 1981 as having no probable cause. Now it ap- pears Dannenfelser's case against Brown is closed, permanently. A.D. STUDENTS: Fellows with the write stuff ) You are poised on the brink of ac- tion, surveying the vast, white waste- land before you. You wield your pow- erful weapon, which is mightier than the sword (they tell you), and you real ize you are charged with conquering the territory that spreads as far as the eye can see. But you are frozen, para- lyzed with fear, knowing that if you d( make a stab at getting to the other endi of the wasteland, you may have failed as so many before you have. This fear of failure is making you hyperventi- late — your pulse is pounding, your palms are clammy. You drop your weapon and turn away. Writing anxi- ety has claimed another victim. Filling a piece of paper with writing that is clear, cogent, and logical is one of the most difficult academic tasks tha' face students. Thanks to Tori Haring Smith, an assistant professor of English at Brown, students may find relief frorr writing anxiety in a unique undergrad- uate writing fellows program that trains selected undergraduates as writ- ing specialists and makes them availa- ble as teaching assistants for large, in- troductory courses. The program was initiated last year with a pilot group of five fellows, but nc has twenty-two students trained as specialists. "I got tired of people saying that students can't write," says Haring- Smith. "This is especially a problem for freshmen, who are battered by their peers and by the media, telling them they can't write. I wanted a program that would concentrate on the student who can write as well as the student who can't. Another impulse was the feeling as a faculty member that stu- dents compete here to an unhealthy degree. I tried a lecture in my opening class telling students that they weren't S>: Ton Haniig-Sinith in the classroom. competing against eacli other; that we were all competing against ignorance. I'd ask them to talk to each other and try to increase the collaborative learn- ing experience. So often students think of education as a competitive exercise for bucks." Haring-Smith knew that the Brown faculty was "incredibly concerned" about writing proficiency among stu- dents, but she didn't think a program that involved the entire faculty was the answer. "The faculty doesn't have the time to evaluate student writing, and they sometimes, quite understandably, object to being responsible for a subject beyond the limits of their disciplines." In her funding proposal for the pro- gram, she added that "some faculty prefer not to comment on the quality of student writing because they lack confidence in their ability to explain clearly the strengths and weaknesses of student prose. They can judge writing as good, bad, or indifferent, but do not necessarily have the skills to help stu- dents improve their writing." When she realized that turning to the faculty was not the answer, Har- ing-Smith plunged into the next availa- ble talent pool — the students. "The idea of using students took the burden off of the faculty. With little or no extra effort on the part of the faculty, writing has become a concern here." Writing fellows can be self-nomi- nated, or nominated by a faculty mem- ber. ("Self-nomination avoids discrimi- nation against non-English majors.") For this year's twenty fellowships there were seventy-three applications, only three of which were not faculty nomi- nated. An applicant submits three al- ready-written writing samples to Har- ing-Smith. "I look for flexibility," she says, "as well as sophistication, the ability to approach different styles and overall general quality." Most of the applicants, according to Haring-Smith, were very good — "some of their prose is simply golden." The fellows are trained in composition theory and prac- tice, a modified version of a graduate course Haring-Smith teaches in compo- sition. While they are learning writing theory, they are assigned as fellows to a large introductory course where each fellow "tutors" approximately twenty students. For the fall semester this year, the fellows were assigned to Engineering 9, a popular class taught by Barrett Hazel- tine. "We use the large introductory courses for several reasons. One is that the material is not too technical and there are usually a lot of freshmen in the classes." The students write their papers and submit them to the fellows first. The fellow comments on all aspects of the paper, punctuation and spelling as well as organization, logic, and theme development. Then the fel- low returns it for a re-write, and both copies of the paper (the first copy with the fellow's comments) are turned into the teaching assistant or the pro- fessor. In this way, the professor can see that the fellow is not ghost-writing the student's paper. Peer teaching has several advan- tages. "It's so easy when you become a teacher to forget what it's like to be a student," says Haring-Smith. "The fel- lows know how awful it is to turn in a paper and wait three weeks to read the comments. They know their first re- sponsibility is to their peers, so we have almost immediate feedback. The fellows can be called at night, and there is no fear on the part of the stu- dents to do so. The fellow has a certain authority that a faculty member doesn't have. A fellow is another student, a 'real' person who would understand what another student might be going through. Faculty are a transitory influence." For the students in the introductory course, the opportunity to take advan- tage of a writing fellow is not volun- tary. "If it were voluntary you would have two kinds of students who would pull out: the person who is confident, and the one who isn't. For the person who lacks confidence, this may be the only way to get to them on a non- threatening level." The initial responses from the stu- dents were "fear, resentment, and ex- citement. One student, an editor of a campus publication, came to me and said, 'I'm an editor of Issues, and some sophomore girl is going to be looking at my writing?' I said to him, 'Are you afraid?' and he backed right down. Another woman was here for dinner — I call this the 'chili pot incident' — and she said that a fellow had no right to comment on her thinking. I asked her if she agreed that good writing had anything to do with good ideas, and if a fellow detected some illogical think- ing, wouldn't she prefer it were pointed out to her instead of her being allowed to go on her merry, deluded way? She agreed." Faculty reaction to the program has been mostly positive, although there has been some very vocal criticism by Professor Edward Beiser who objects to "students paying money to teach other students." Beiser and Haring-Smith have had some lively discussions in faculty meetings and other public places, talking about the merits of peer teaching. "I have shown him studies that have been done on peer teaching that conclude that it is the most effec- tive way of teaching. I have also sent him copies of papers the fellows have 23 marked up to show him the kinds of comments that are made." Judging bv a tew samples of "corrected papers, the fellows do a thorough job of pointing out writing flaws. A full page of criticism was 'at- tached, explaining the kinds of mis- takes that were made and offering op- tions. "The fellows are guiding the students, questioning them, and forc- ing them to interact." And the stu- dents like to have so much feedback. "One of the fellows told me that he once received a paper back from a pro- fessor that had one comment on it — 'Mmmmm.' The student didn't know if that meant Mmmm?' or 'Hmmm' or 'Mmmm!' " The fellows are obligated to comment at length, re- sponding as an honest reader. Haring- Smith recommends that the fellows keep file cards on each student they are assigned to, recording the kinds of errors made, so that thev will be able to refer to previous papers. The fellows feel they have gotten as much as they have given out of the experience. "I think it's an extremely worthwhile program," says Lynne Doherty '85. "We're incorporating things we are learning into practical experience, which is great because oth- ervs'ise all of the composition theory might be a little overwhelming. I saw improvements in my students, even if it was just in one aspect of their writ- ing. And I think the students learned the importance of revising their writ- ing, which is so important although students frequently don't feel they have the time for it." "The fellows are exhausted," says Haring-Smith, with the bulk of the work, "but they are also happy with the program. For me a stack of papers that have to be graded is a tragedy, but for these students it's something won- derful." The success of the program is indi- cated by the twenty fellows who are all planning to continue tutoring next semester. Haring-Smith expects to train twenty fellows a year, up to a total of sixty. When she reaches the optimum number, she figures that they will be blanketing most of the undergraduates over the course of three years. Funding for the program is on an "extended life-support system" accord- ing to the development office, but the administration has been supportive. If 24 the plug is pulled before the program is in high gear, writing proficiency among Brown students may suffer a blow. K.H.

It seemed the perfect match: the Penn State women's swimming team that was second in the East a year ago and 3-0 in the current campaign against a Brown team that was third in the East in 1982 and 4-0 this season. The scene was the Smith Swimming Center in the Brown Athletic Complex. The excitement in the air when the meet began didn't last very long. It was strictly a ho-hum affair as the Brown women won ten of fifteen events, set two school records and one national qualifier while pulling away to a 95-55 victory. Elaine Palmer '84, who had victories in the 100- and 200-yard backstroke, qualified for the NCAA championships with her 59:06 effort in the 100 back- stroke. Margaret Tretbar '86, who took the 200 butterfly in the school record time of 2.05.22, also captured the 400 individual medley. Katie King '86 also had a fine afternoon, setting a Brown record with a 10:15.66 clocking in the 1,000 freestyle and winning the 500 free. After the meet. Coach Dave Roach was shaking his head. "I thought this would be a close one," he said, "but our kids just went wild and did a great job. There's a lot of talent out there." But other winter teams are struggling Unfortunately, most of Brown's other winter sports teams have been suffering from a lack of top flight tal- ent, although each team has a few in- dividual stars. For example, the wom- en's basketball team includes Donna Yaffe '85, who led the team in scoring (22.5) and rebounding through the first semester. Yaffe had one of her finest outings against Southern Connecticut, popping in 31 points. Peter Bogdanovich '83 was one of the stars at the 14th annual Dartmouth Relays, taking the shotput at 55 feet. "Bogs," who has done the punting for the football team for the past three sea- sons, won on his last toss of the meet. Although the men's basketball team was struggling, the season has seen the birth of a new Brown star, Mike Wait- kus, a freshman from Elmhurst, New York. An adroit ball handler and a col- orful performer, Waitkus led the club in scoring through the first half of the season with a 12.1 average. Coach Mike Cingiser predicts that the 6'1" playmaking guard will become one of Brown's all-time greats before he grad- uates. Jim Fullerton honored by Hockey Association One of the highlights of the winter season was the return to campus of Coach Jim Fullerton, the man who brought Brown to hockey glory in the years between 1955 and 1971. Fullerton was honored by the Brown Hockey Association on January 9, at a luncheon in Andrews Hall Dining Room and, later, at a dinner in the Brown Club Fieldhouse. After dropping the puck to start the Brown-Cornell game at Meehan Audi- torium that evening, Fullerton watched the Bruins play their finest game of the year while defeating a good Big Red team, 4-1. "This Brown team did everything right," Fullerton said after the game. "The only problem Coach Herb Ham- mond has is lack of material. Hopefully that will come next year." Fullerton also had to turn the hockey program around. The Bruins were 0-22 shortly after he arrived but four years later were 22-9 and in the Nationals. FuUerton's eyes did light up when someone asked him what he thought of Brown's freshman defenseman, Pat Davis, from Kent School. "That boy has all the tools to become one of the finest defensemen Brown has had in quite some time," Fullerton said. The former Bruin coach took a nos- talgic look at Brown hockey that after- noon when he watched the annual alumni game. After his retirement, Fullerton scouted for four years for the New York Islanders and two years for the Chicago Black Hawks, owned by Bill Wirtz '50. Come May he will start an- other job, serving as administrative as- sistant to the director of the Olympic Arena in Lake Placid, New York. This will be a six -month job, running from May through October, allowing Jim and his wife, Fran, to maintain their home in Sarasota, Florida.

It is not desirable to culti- iHite a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to assume, is to do at any time what I think right. It is truly enough said, that a corporation has no conscience; but a corpo- ration of conscientious men is a corporation with (I conscience. —Henry David Thoreau, On the Duty of Civil Disobedience It seems to me that we all have a clear obli- gation to express our deep concern as a community, our profound sense of public disapproval for such actions [as bottle throwing]. We are going to have to come out of the shell of privatism and stop shrugging off our common problems by say- ing, "Leave me alone; I've got problems of my own. " We've got to talk to our friends and our classmates and our fraternity brothers and sisters about this and let our feelings be known. There can be no toler- ance for intolerance; no sanction for bigotry; no excuses for sexual, racial, or religious harassment. — William G. McLoughlin, A Center of Gravity and the Far Side of Campus, a speech delivered at the convocation, "New Beginnings," in November. Bill McLoughlin stands for some- thing. He stands up to defend a tree that might be destroyed needlessly; he stands up in faculty meetings to admonish his colleagues for not participating more in University governance; and he stands in favor of a nuclear weapons freeze. On any given Friday afternoon you will find Mc- Loughlin doing more than standing up for a principle; you will discover him pounding the pavement for it, as he demonstrates against U.S. military in- volvement in El Salvador. Bill Mc- loughlin is a conscientious man. McLoughlin, the VViliard Prescott and Annie McClelland Smith Professor of History and Religion, came to Brown twenty-five years ago, not long after the heyday of Senator Joseph R. Mc- Carthy and his sensational charges that the federal government and America's colleges and universities were overrun with Communists and Communist sympathizers. "I guess the McCarthy era got me started," McLoughlin says. "There was a lot of McCarthyism in Rhode Island. McCarthy said that Brown was the 'reddest college in Rhode Island,' which isn't saying much. There was a showing of the movie Operation Aboli- tion, which was a movie about how universities were being overrun by left-wing pinkos, and the ACLU always tried to have a speaker at the show to speak for the other side. Charlie Bald- win, who was working for the ACLU at the time, asked me to be one of the speakers. He said we had to stand up for academic freedom." And that is when McLoughlin's activism began. He became increasingly involved in the American Civil Liberties Union, working on its academic freedom committee, then the committee on sep- aration of church and state. He helped prepare a brief for a case on Rhode Is- land's law on textbook aid that was tried in front of the Supreme Court. "We challenged the law that the state should provide textbooks for private and parochial schools. Unfortunately we lost; the Supreme Court upheld the law." Then, in the 1960s, he became chairman of the Rhode Island ACLU. It was a volatile time for an organization pledged to be the watchdog for indi- vidual civil liberties. "My phone number at home was listed in the phone book as the number for the ACLU, and I would have peo- ple coming to my door in the middle of the night telling me they were being hassled by the police." McLoughlin's interest in civil rights and fair housing led to his first act of civil disobedience in the mid-1960s. "The state legislature was trying to vote on a fair housing law and there was a chance that they were going to adjourn before the issue was settled. One of the things they wanted to in- clude in the law was a 'Mrs. Murphy' clause. Do you know what that was? There were many boarding houses run by little old ladies, who actually lived in the houses. Some legislators thought those establishments should be exempt from the fair housing law." The issue was going around and around, and the clock was running out. "We were sitting in the gallery of the State House, and our leader asked how many of us would be willing to be arrested. Well, I wasn't too willing, but I buckled under peer pressure. Around 11:30 [adjournment was planned for midnight] we stood up and burst into 'The Star Spangled Banner!'" McLough- lin leaps up from his chair in the ex- citement of remembering the moment. "And when we finished singing that, we sang 'God Bless America!' Then 'My Country 'Tis of Thee' and 'We Shall Overcome!'" Needless to say, the State House was in an uproar. "We caused quite a sensation, and the legislature finally just gave up and left without adjourn- ing. We were on the front page of the Proindence Journal the next morning, but fortunately, the picture was shot with me standing just out of range. Fair housing laws were finally passed, and that was mv first act of civil disobedi- ence." His second act of disobedience was not long in coming: McLoughlin and others slept in the office of the Provi- dence School Committee to protest the way the committee was handling stu- dent affairs. "They were moving stu- dents around and we didn't see the ra- tionale for it. We were trying to get them to postpone some of their ac- tions, so we slept in for two weeks. We | made sure we weren't disturbing the office, so one of us would carefully mop the floor every morning. We natu- I Si' sx 28 rally had a lot of spare time on our hands, and we would invite speakers in to talk about various issues. But we were never arrested. Providence isn't that kind of law-and-order place." McLoughlin's interest in educational opportunities for the young climaxed with his third act of civil disobedience, which resulted in the end of de facto segregation in Providence schools. The struggle revolved around the Edmund W. Flynn Elementary School in South Providence, an area that was a black ghetto at the time. A former school superintendent planned to bring about integration by cross-busing — blacks into white schools and whites into predom- inantly black schools. The school com- mittee vetoed the plan, claiming, McLoughlin says, that white parents would refuse to send their children into black schools. "Then the city tried to pit one mi- nority group against another by saying that they would close the school down and turn it over to the handicapped." The black community politely declined that solution and decided to defend its right to be involved in the decision- making process. "The black parents decided to boycott the school system and opened their own school, the Freedom School. They called me and asked me to be the principal. We got teachers and ministers, I recruited some Brown students to help out, and we opened. We had classes all over South Providence, but it was a real community project. Finally the city de- cided to re-open Flynn, and decided that if they were going to do it, they would make it better than ever." So Flynn became a model school with the best teachers, small classes, counseling services, and other desirable perks. A "pupil drive" was launched to get white students to enroll, and soon it became one of the most desirable places to go to school in Providence. "The mayor even sent his kid there for a week," McLoughlin recalls. "We took a chance opening up the Freedom School during the boycott. We weren't licensed by the state, and we were es- sentially disobeying the law. "These kinds of issues snowballed in the '60s. You'd get involved in one issue and another would come along. The grape boycott would lead to saving the environment, and there was always the peace movement. After a while it becomes a way of life. It helps you make friends in the community and feel part of Providence." The ACLU has afforded Mc- Loughlin the opportunity to address a number of issues relat- ing to the rights of individuals, from nude sun-bathing at a Rhode Island beach to freedom of religion. His ex- pertise in the history of church and state separation makes him a popular witness in trials pertaining to issues of religion. Twice last year he was called as a witness, once in Charles City, Iowa, and then in the New Orleans creationism case. In December the Knights of Columbus put up a creche on the steps of the Providence City Hall. The ACLU stepped in and sug- gested there might be a better place for the religious scene than the cradle of city government. When Providence Mayor Vincent Cianci refused to re- move the creche, the ACLU filed suit. The nude sunbathing suit is over Moonstone Beach, which is in southern Rhode Island next door to a federal bird sanctuary. "The Fish and Wildlife Masks of three well-known Ameriean political figures haiii; on the wall behind McLoughlin's desk. 29 Bureau, or some such organization, decided that the bathers were disturb- ing the wildlife and tried to get the beach closed. We took the case on the grounds that the bathers weren't of- fending anyone and that the regula- tions seem arbitrary and unnecessary. "Sometimes we're ahead of the pub- lic. We defended the rights of gays to march in Providence, and we were asked where does the Constitution de- fend the rights of homosexuals. It's hard to say that it does, and of course the Bible certainly doesn't, but there is the overriding right of freedom of speech. We're not defending gays, or defending Nazis, but we're defending their right to the freedom of speech. We may seem to be radical, but what's so radical about defending the Consti- tution? "When the Moonies [members of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unifica- tion Church] first came to Rhode Is- land," McLoughlin continues, "they applied for tax exemption on the grounds that they were a religious group, and were given it. Two years later they hit the news, with the claims that they were brainwashing people and with the stories about all those mass marriages, and the tax exemption was withdrawn. The Moonies hired a lawyer and 1 was asked to testify that they were a religion. It turns out that there are no standards in the state on what a religion actually is. The basis for judging the exemption status was purely arbitrary. Now I think this in- fringes on everyone's rights. People will say that I testified for the Moonies, but that's not what I was doing." The case dwindled away; the Moonies were not able to pay their lawyer's fee, and they are still not eligible for tax-exempt status in Rhode Island. In what some fjeople considered poetic justice, the Providence group of Moonies bought a house adjacent to McLoughlin's. "The first snow they were out shoveling off my sidewalk; on Christmas morning 'Freedom carries with it responsibility' thev were caroling on my doorstep. Both of which served to take the horns and tails off of them." Steven Brown, executive director of the Rhode Island chapter of the ACLU, says that he wishes there were "more Bill McLoughlins. Bill always says how he's interested in getting new blood into the ACLU, but I'll keep calling him whether he likes it or not. He has an incredibly good grasp of civil liber- ties issues in general, and free speech and church and state issues in particu- lar. Just recently we asked him to tes- tify in front of a state committee that was proposing that Rhode Island newspapers provide anti-smoking and anti-alcohol advertising along with cig- arette and alcohol ads. He told them that the state has no business telling the papers what to run." Students at Brown have also benefited from McLoughlin's activism. In the late fifties he helped set up an abortion counseling clinic, which started in the chaplain's office. "I put up the $100 to get the phone for the clinic installed. Come to think of it, I never got the deposit back. At that Hme we were having to send women off all over the world to benefit from 'socialized medicine.' Then in the mid-60s 1 helped set up draft counsel- ing. LBJ was saying that draft counse- lors could be imprisoned, but fortu- nately we had [former Assistant Dean of the Graduate School] C. Peter Ma- grath here, who knew a lot about con- stitutional law, and he was able to reassure us that we wouldn't get into trouble." The concept of academic freedom is one that McLoughlin holds dear. "Professors are controversial figures. We're not fomenting action, though, only discussing ideas. The basis of the educational system is the freedom to learn and the freedom to teach. Faculty have to be allowed to be free to chal- lenge assumed truths, raise questions, and discuss them freely. A professor shouldn't have to look over his shoul- der every time he acts. He loses his effectiveness. And he can't be harassed for what he does in his private life. "I was particularly angry with fac- ulty who wouldn't sign anti-Vietnam petitions during the war because they had government grants. In that situ- ation academic freedom was indirectly threatened. Those professors had ten- ure; they were in no danger. I signed those petitions, but I got into more trouble when I tried to get mandatory chapel abolished in the '50s. [The first time McLoughlin spoke up at a faculty meeting, he rose to suggest the abo- lishment of chapel.] I didn't have ten- ure at the time. But I believe freedom carries with it responsibility." D // I X rop your pencil in Mc- Loughlin's class," the saying goes, "and you miss ten years." McLoughlin's courses in American social and intellectual his- tory are among the most popular of- fered in the curriculum, but also among the most rigorous. The Critical Review, a student-written, student-rated guide to Brown courses, offers insight into the world of a McLoughlin class: "Terrific, stimulating, and engaging, though sometimes they're too full of information and you can't absorb or even write it all down in notes." The same student concluded that "students are often overwhelmed and overtired at the end of class." "His enthusiasm is catching. One feels like the material is obviously fascinating." "He is brilliant, witty, well-spoken, dedicated, and has a great sense of humor. What more could one ask for?" "You don't under- stand America until you've taken a course from William McLoughlin." McLoughlin returns the admiration and respect. "I've always found Brown students bright, hard-working, and a pleasure to work with." And he talks about the changes in students from the '50s to the '80s. "Students have always 30 been idealistic; what changes is what they are idealistic about. In the '50s it was the era of the organization man, the man in the gray flannel suit. The businessman was the heart of the country. I remember Brown took part in a poll that showed that Brown stu- dents were pretty square and straight- arrow; we learned that our students wore more coats and ties than students at the other schools in the poll. "The '60s were the beginning of the civil rights movement and there was an Episcopal minister here who was one of the first freedom riders. I think there were letters in the BAM wondering why he had to get so involved in something so far away. Students came to me and asked me to picket Wool- worth's with them. Although the stores here weren't discriminating, they were part of the national chain. It came to us that we were part of the national scene. Then the draft began to affect students, and by the time the Vietnam War wound down, students were in- volved in campaigning against Nixon and for McGovern and McCarthy. "One cause piled on another. It tapered off in the '70s, although it An impassioned McLaughlin makes a point in class. never completely died. Students got more interested in the environment. I am astounded at how many alumni come back to visit and say they're working for humanitarian causes." When several students were accused of throwing bottles at black students last fall (BAM, December), President Swearer called a University convocation to address the issue of ra- cism. McLoughlin was one of two fac- ulty asked to speak. He received sev- eral ovations in the course of his speech, one of them when he pointed out a "no-big-deal syndrome" he finds prevalent at Brown. "Many people feel that to succeed at a place so full of ex- ceptional and talented students and faculty you have to be concerned first and foremost with advancing your own career." What has happened to the con- cerned, involved students of the six- ties? "I think there is a growing sense among students that the bureaucracy of the administration, the city, and the state has become too paternalistic, reg- ulatory, and demanding in the number of rules and regulations. The tendency among students now is to say 'hands off.' It's a reaction against liberalism gone wrong and the fact that we're becoming woven into the bureaucratic structure. It's sort of double-edged. They feel the University should help with their careers and they will tolerate certain rules. Students aren't cynical now, they are cautious. They got disil- lusioned with the causes of the '60s." A Richard Nixon mask is promi- nently displayed on the wall in McLoughlin's office. But above all, McLoughlin is egalitarian. Nixon is not alone: He is joined by a Jimmy Car- ter mask and a Ted Kennedy mask, a triumvirate joyfully swathed in orange crepe paper. The posters adorning the walls range from Emma Goldman, to the Cherokee Indian chief Sequoyah, to Mickey Mouse. His elegant desk set consists of a Contadina tomato sauce can and a baking powder can for pens and pencils. McLoughlin doesn't do much work in his office — there are too many interruptions from students and colleagues. From the sounds of it, the decor of his house is as eclectic. "I collect post- cards, advertising cards [which were 31 The happiest day of my life is today' featured in the BAM. October 1981], and stereoptican cards; and I go to flea markets and haunt antique stores. I have a rule, though, never to buy any- thing that costs more than $3. [Pro- fessor of Art] Bill Jordy came over once and said. This is wonderful. Bill! You've invested all your money in things a burglar wouldn't possibly want.'" McLoughlin gardens in his spare time, and works on his house, and he and his wife picket, of course, every Fridav afternoon in downtown Provi- dence. He has three daughters: one who is interested in labor law and works for the law firm in Berkeley that represents the air controllers union, PATCO; one who is the secretary for the executive director of the ACLU in Providence; and one in school at Syra- cuse University. When his daughters are home, they picket with their pa- rents. His academic interests have been as varied as his interior decorating. He has spent ten years each on three sepa- rate research subjects. "When I was in graduate school, Billy Graham was becoming famous. I'd studied revivals in America and 1 wasn't satisfied with the two theories of the time, which concluded that religious revivals were either a work of God or a religious epi- phenomenon. I wrote my dissertation on professional urban revivalism, ex- plaining how revivalism became a pro- fession in the 1830s. Preachers were writing handbooks then. 1 worked the thesis all the way up to Billy Sunday, but no one wanted a book that long and learned. So my thesis advisor said to take out the part on Billy Sunday, and that part was published by the University of Chicago. (The book was Billy Sunday Was tlis Real Name.) Then I wrote a book that included Billy Gra- ham and published a biography of Billy Graham. Once I had exhausted the topic of revivalism, I looked around for something new." 32 That "something new" was the field of religious awakenings. Historians generally agree that there have been three major "great religious awaken- ings" in American history, the first in the period from 1730 to 1750, the sec- ond around 1800-1830, and the third from 1890 to 1920 or so. (There is disa- greement, McLoughlin notes, about whether American society currently is undergoing a fourth great awakening.) It was while studying the first period of awakening (1730-50) that McLoughlin developed a special inter- est in the Baptists. In the 1730s and 1740s, the Baptists split away from the established churches — the Congrega- tional Church (formerly known as Puri- tans) in New England and the Anglican Church in Virginia. "The Baptists were part of the first great awakening," McLoughlin says, "but they produced a new movement of their own." He spent the next ten years of his career researching that movement. "The Baptists were required to pay taxes to the established churches, and they were the first group to advocate a separation of church and state. One of the revivalist Baphsts who fought for separation was Issac Backus, who left reams of papers never used before." McLoughlin put them to good use and edited a three-volume diary of a man he considers a key to the history of church and state separation. "It's al- ways nice for a historian to put an un- discovered person on the map," he says. Eventually he felt as if he had done enough with religious awakenings, and in the nick of time, his wife uncovered some letters from her "Uncle Oswald," an ancestor who had been a missionary to the Cherokee Indians. The Chero- kees, who originated in the South, were slave-owning Indians forced to leave their homes in the Southeastern states, march the Trail of Tears west, and relocate in Oklahoma. McLoughlin believes the Cherokees are a "prism for looking at what was happening in the United States during the nineteenth century. And I got lucky again, be- cause although there are lots of books about the Cherokee, there aren't many by historians." The value of studying history, McLoughlin believes, is that it "gets you out of the present and forces you to recognize that humans have been around for a long time and there is no one answer, no one system by itself that is all good or bad. You can under- stand all humans better if you see why things failed. It gives you a sense of place, a sense of perspective. And it saves you from hero-worship. The people I consider heroes are the ones who never get into history books. The Presidents who do make it in have made a lot of mistakes and cut a lot of corners to get there. My heroes would be people like Rosa Parks, who did a little thing like refusing to sit in the back of the bus. Or Frank Wills, the security guard who discovered a break-in at the Watergate Hotel." It is proposed to McLoughlin that not everyone finds it as easy to be pas- sionately involved in causes. He pauses for a moment and says, "These are in- tense times. The country is going through a reorientation of values where we lose our bearings. Young people get confused and take their frustrations out on minorities. "1 don't believe history is cyclical or linear. I do believe it's dynamic. We have been forced since the 1960s to reassess several things: the solutions of the New Deal, international affairs, the advancement of Marxism, energy and environmental crises. Add to all this the shifts in population, crises in the urban centers, the decay of the rail- road, hospitals, law, and labor unions. We are stuck between those who blame the problems on change and those who say we need a restructuring. As long as we continue the debate, we'll be all right. As Jefferson said, error of opin I , ion can be tolerated while reason is free to combat it." McLoughlin's solution to those who don't know where to turn is to get in- volved. "The facts are there. Take the nuclear freeze. It's obviously in order; my mail has been full of the facts. The problem is that we can't get the politi- cians to read them the way we do. Get information from many sources and then make up your mind. But keep it open! Just don't be a reed blowing in the wind. "The liberal, secular individual is confused. He believed that science had all the answers and suddenly he finds that science is destroying us. We've misplaced our faith. It's funny that Americans have lost faith in them- selves, too, and feel trapped by media distortion and fanaticism. Democracy isn't always right, but don't be afraid to vote your principles just because you may be wrong." Perhaps embarrassed by climbing up on a well-worn soapbox, McLough- lin laughs and adds, "Historians don't deal with the future or the present, and any historian who starts prophesy- ing doesn't know what he's talking about." Maybe not. But McLoughlin's formula for living a full, con- scientious life seems to have made him a complete man. "1 have found in my volunteer work that there is a hell of a lot more wis- dom at the bottom than at the top. The people out there who have raised kids and sent them to college may be more realistic and have more workable an- swers than the educated elite, who have professional biases and educa- tional philosophies they stick to. One benefit of getting out of the ivory tower is discovering that all the answers aren't here at Brown." Many historians may prefer the past, but not William McLoughlin. "I've always been in favor of the pres- ent — it's nostalgic to think there is a golden time. The happiest day of my life is today; I have a lot of complaints, but who doesn't?" After class, McLoughlin stops to talk with a student. i 33 i Bv Katherine Hafner /ohn Hermance is a geophysicist, probing beneath the earth's sur- face in order to gain a better un- derstanding of the forces that move continents, create mineral deposits, and erupt as volcanoes or geysers. The forty-three-year-old Hermance, professor of geological sciences at Brown and a member of the faculty for almost fifteen years, is best known for his research into the geothermal energy that can be exploited by tapping ex- tremely hot materials a few miles be- low the earth's surface. An energy source several times greater than the nation's annual energy consumption lies in these materials. In fact, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates that the heat under the United States alone is equal to 900 trillion short tons of coal, or enough to supply the nation for nearly one-third of a million years. Geothermal energy is the natural heat of the earth. Temperatures rise with increasing depth in the earth and at the center reach up to 4500° C. The earth's geothermal energy is too diffuse to be exploited commercially except where it has been concentrated as a result of unstable geologic activity rela- tively close to the surface. And though the potential is great, areas of concen- trated geothermal energy are not uni- formly distributed within the earth, and in reality could provide only about 10 percent of the nation's energ)- needs if fully exploited. The ultimate source of this energy 34 JOHN HERMANCE: PROBING FOR ENERGY BENEATH THE EARTH'S SURFACE is stored in vast quantities of magma (the molten rock that flows from volca- noes) a few miles below the surface, generated by active tectonic processes. The magma rises from the earth's very hot mantle and is injected into the outer insulating crust, where it can remain for thousands of years. Regions of recent (younger than 50,000 years) intense surface volcanic activity and earthquake zones often point to magma concentrations. Theoretically, energy could be taken from magma by passing water through pipes implanted in the molten rock, then pumping the heated water back to the surface. Although Hermance says many technological problems need to be solved before such an energy resource can be exploited practically, experi- ments on a reduced scale appear to be promising. The scientific feasibility of the concept was demonstrated in a re- cent experiment by scientists at Sandia National Laboratories, who successfully drilled through a lens of molten mag- ma on Kilauea volcano on Hawaii. Directly above the magma lies an- other source of heat contained in what is known as "hot dry rock"; that is, impermeable — non-porous — rock which, because of its proximitv to the magma, is also very hot. Though these hotbeds of energy may reach tempera- tures of more than 500° C, they are ex- tremely difficult to exploit. The drilling that must be done into hot dry rock is a risky and expensive business. rs The hot dry rock energy concept was pioneered at the Los Alamos Sci- entific Laboratory in New Mexico in 1970. The process involves forcing cold; water under high pressure two or three miles down a bore hole to hydraulically fracture the surrounding area, which acts as a heat-exchange area, super- heating the water before it is brought to the surface through a second hole. A technological hurdle for scientists has been holding a bore hole open long enough to install the necessary equip- ment to enable fluid to circulate, and making a subterranean connection between the two holes. In addition to experiments with drilling into molten magma, such as those at Sandia, and with extracting heat from hot dry rock, such as those at Los Alamos, other types of exotic geothermal environments are being studied at Lawrence Berkeley and Law- rence Livermore National Laboratories in California. The nature and extent of these resources, however, is still far from being understood. It is scientists such as Hermance who encourage their further development through geo- physical exploration. There is a third, much more easily exploited source of energy closer to the earth's surface. Hydrothermal reser- voirs of very hot water and steam can be tapped at the surface and used to turn conventional turbines. These res- ervoirs, whose high temperatures are the result of deeper magma chambers. occur as naturally venting steam, such as the Old Faithful geyser in Yellow- stone National Park, or extremely hot ground water. Though not the hottest type of geothermal energy to be found, hydrothermal reservoirs are the most accessible. "Hydrothermal energy represents a readily usable form of power," Her- mance explains. "The water often ex- ceeds 250° C, so it represents a fairly attractive energy resource for electric power production." A hydrothermal field known as the Geysers provides a major portion of the electricity supplied to the San Francisco Bay area, and numerous major cities around the globe are powered by hydrothermal energy. Hermance, however, prefers to dwell not on what is being done with hydrothermal energy in particular, but on what can be done in the future with geothermal energy in general. And in order to do this, he is intent on study- ing the entire spectrum of geothermal systems. Since the most interesting re- search fields take Hermance in two opposite directions, to the Western United States and to Iceland, he considers himself centrally located at Brown. Iceland is a mecca for field geologists and geophysicists alike be- cause it is a relatively new geologic phenomenon. In Iceland, as the island rifts and spreads, molten rock has been injected from the mantle into the earth's crust only a few miles deep. Development of the Icelandic crust seems to take place over hundreds of thousands of years. The Western United States represents another area of active geothermal systems. Hermance's search for high concen- trations of magma begins on the Brown campus. He works with a group of three graduate students, two engi- neers, a computer programmer, and twelve undergraduate students, several of whom spend the bulk of their time in the library keeping abreast of current research. Once the group is convinced that a particular region is worth study- ing first-hand, a field crew of three or four members sets off in a four-wheel- drive van (or, if the lab is in Iceland, on an ocean freighter with the equip- ment aboard) to spend several weeks with their collective finger on the pulse of an enigmatic earth. The technique utilized to locate magma fields is one of Hermance's specialties: the application of electro- magnetic theory. This involves little more than interpreting natural low-fre- quency radio signals originating from magnetic storms, Northern lights, or distant thunderstorms. "These electromagnetic signals can be seen as analogous to low-frequency radar," Hermance explains. "We look at the way these signals propagate into the earth and get reflected from the geologic structures in the earth's in- terior. We look at the wave's path, the way it interacts and is reflected from buried geologic bodies." His group collects data by placing a simple radio antenna — a long wire — on the ground to pick up and measure signals reflected from as deep as 100 kilometers. In addition, they use a loop antenna similar to those in modern portable radios. The data is collected on magnetic tape and, thanks to a computer on hand in the field, is processed immedi- ately. "An integral concept of our field effort is to process the data as soon as possible after it is recorded," Hermance says. "If it needs to be done over again, we can modify our procedure right away, rather than taking it to the lab first, analyzing it, then discovering Research with an eye toward the value to society we did something wrong and having to go all the way back." In 1975, a year after the oil embargo, Hermance found himself on the cutting edge of research into geoth- ermal energy. At the time it seemed that, along with other alternative en- ergy resources such as nuclear and so- lar power, geothermal energy might provide an answer to the world's en- ergy plight. Federal funds were poured into geothermal research and scientists were optimistic about the energv fu- ture. In 1982, with oil once again in abundance, geothermal energy beyond hydrothermal power has lost its wide- spread appeal. Funding from federal and oil-industry sources for research on alternative energy resources has dwin- dled. While the purpose of Hermance's research remains the same, his empha- sis is on more fundamental problems, rather than on tapping geothermal en- ergy sources for everyday energy use. Hermance believes that electromagnetic methods and geophysical techniques can address some of the fundamental questions regarding geothermal pro- cesses that have eluded several genera- tions of geologists. One such question at the center of Hermance's research concerns the growth of the earth's crust. His most recent work has led him to a new theory. "We've proposed that, in some re- gions, the earth's crust (the upper five to twenty miles of the earth's interior) develops over a much larger region than the area of volcanic activity at the surface might suggest," Hermance says. "As the crust is pulled apart, the gap is filled with intrusions of material from deeper layers of molten rock. In addition we find that molten material is being plastered against the bottom of the crust. Thus the crust in time actu- ally increases in thickness." Hermance considers it an important contribution to the geosciences to sug- gest that the earth's crust grows not only from vulcanism on the surface, as has been the accepted theory, but from below as well, by way of magma being plastered to its roots. "We are trying to understand the constraints that Mother Nature is ap- plying to various geothermal pro- cesses," Hermance says. "From a socie- tal viewpoint, understanding the system has an enormous impact on how we can best exploit geothermal energy, as well as how society can act to mitigate hazards from volcanoes and earthquakes." Hermance is optimistic when he discusses the future of geoth- ermal energy over, say, the next half-century. In early October, he attended a conference at Los Alamos, close to the site of an ongoing hot dry rock experiment. On the last day of the conference, the convener announced enthusiastically that the experimental group had been successful in sustain- ing a connection between two holes bored into hot dry rock, and that su- perheated steam was emerging from a reservoir at well above 300° C. Because of such serendipitous events, Hermance says, he considers 35 fl^ evperiment.ition with hot drs" rock, and perhaps e\en with magma itselt, worth pursuing. "If we can develop a constit- uency it will happen," he says. "Dollar- wise it is not bevond us. It would take SIO- to S13 million per year with a ten-year commitment from hundreds of scientists and engineers. "But after all," he adds, smiling, "a single modem jet fighter costs over $5 million to build." In the process of building a constit- uency on all levels, Hermance is doing more than his share. He has worked in both a direct and advisory capacity with numerous groups conducting geothermal research, and he is cur- rently a member of the National Acad- emy of Science's Advisory Panel on Thermal Regimes. Hermance also conducts his own research with an eye toward his work's societal value. His group recently stud- ied the area just east of the Sierra Ne- vada near the Mammoth Lakes ski re- sort, known as the Long Valley Cal- dera. In May, the U.S. Geological Survey issued a volcanic hazard alert for the area. The Mammoth Lakes area previously had been recognized as an earthquake hazard, but the work of Hermance and others suggested that magma moving beneath the earth might actually cause a volcanic erup- tion in the near future. If a volcano were to erupt, Hermance says, it could well overshadow the eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington. Hermance's field program is designed to evaluate the potential for such an eruption. Hermance is also a member of a scientific team working with the Na- tional Aeronautical and Space Adminis- tration (NASA), analyzing data from an earth-orbiting satellite that measured the earth's magnetic fields with "extra- ordinary precision." The purpose of the project is to develop a picture of re- gional geologic features on a global scale. Different geologic materials, Hermance explains, have different magnetic properties. Mapping the magnetic field of geologic structures from space has provided the first op- fKirtunity !o obtain a global perspective on some of these features. In some cases, the view from space supports the impressions received from ground- based studies. "In other cases/' Her- mance says, "we are obtaining brand- new insights into tectonic processes." In addition, Hermance is working 36 ^ \^ ■ John Hennance and his associates, Research Engineer Warren Slocum (left) ami Field Engineer Gregory Neumann (center). Vie niaps shown here are part of their research in the Long Valley Caldera area in California. with the Office of Naval Research to develop anti-submarine detection strat- egies. "A submarine is a magnetic body," he explains, "and as such may be detected using geophysical techni- ques. During World War II they were detected by flying magnetic detectors behind airplanes or detectors on the sea floor. "That was superseded by the de- velopment of sonar detection. But so- nar detection seems to break down when there's rough topography on the sea floor. This was the case recently in Sweden, where an intruding submarine escaped rather sophisticated detection systems." Hermance suspects that the best place to use magnetic signals may be in areas where sonar devices are not entirely reliable. "The best way of extricating small but easily observed time-varying (mov- ing) objects from static objects," Her- mance says, "may be through develop- ing magnetic detection techniques." Hermance's use of geophysical techniques was featured in a recent local television news story about illegal- ly-dumped chemicals in Rhode Island landfills. Channel 10 (WJAR) of Provi- dence, which had been following the transportation of chemical wastes, asked Hermance to participate in an after-hours trip to a Johnston landfill to detect illegally-dumped substances. He readily agreed. "The idea of applying conventional geophysical techniques in looking at a societal problem seemed intriguing to me," he says. While Hermance's interests are wide-ranging, his self-de- scribed role as an educator is more narrowly defined: to introduce students with varied backgrounds to an equally broad range of scientific appli- cations. In virtually every research endeavor, Hermance includes both graduate and undergraduate students. "We need problem solvers," Hermance says, "people who can bring a number of talents to bear on the issues at hand." A relatively small number of scien- tists are trained initially in geophysics per se, Hermance says. "But by reach- ing out to the multidisciplinary body ol physicists, engineers, or applied math- ematicians, and getting them interestec in geophysical problems, we might be able to solve some of the issues facing our society. "Brown is a unique place," says Hermance, who did his undergraduate i work at the State University of New York at New Paltz and received his Ph.D. in physics from the University ol Toronto in 1967. "The students here have many different exposures and backgrounds. We really find a svnergis tic element among this student body that would be difficult to find else- where." Many other graduate institu- tions, Hermance says, "can't be both- ered" with integrating undergraduate students into graduate level research. "In some regards, research is less efficient here at Brown," he says. "Education has never been an efficient process. But it's highly motivating be- cause, you see, it's these students who don't know all the pat answers. Unfet- tered with preconceptions, they are often the ones who come up with the best ideas."

"It's an oddly perverse thing to do," he says soberly. "It goes against the grain of postwar American originality." And what "perverse thing" has Farb, an American artist, done? She has chosen to live and work in France. There was a time, notably in the 1920s, when American artists aspiring to prominence headed abroad. For cen- turies Europe, and particularly France, had been the repository of classical tra- ditions and the hotbed of innovative directions in art. Then, in the mid-twentieth century, the international art community began to shift its focus to New York. Instead of leaving the United States, young art- ists set up studios in SoHo lofts and curried favor with New York gallery owners. No longer was the trans-Atlan- tic route considered crucial, or even desirable, for artistic success. New York, if you are an artist who wants to become known, is where it's happen- ing. To every trend, however, there are exceptions. Adrienne Farb is a particu- larly notable one. The young Chicago native emigrated to Paris shortly after her graduation from Brown, and she has been drawing and painting happily in France ever since, with substantial success, and the promise of even greater things to come. Champa, an internationally-respected art historian and critic, is convinced of his former student's potential. "I think she'll be one of the ranking painters of the next I By Anne Diffily Adrienne Farb 78: Artistic Maverick Adrienne Farb at her one-woman exhibition at Wheaton College. decade," he says. What prompted Farb's relocation to France? "It was mostly a visual thing," Farb recalls. "I love France visually, and my work made sense there. I was offered an atelier (studio] situation in Paris through the Fondation des Etats Unis, Cite Universitaire. I lived there for two years; it was full of artists and musi- cians of all ages from all over the world. It's in a great location — right on the Seine near Notre Dame. "I had been painting on my own, not studying with anyone, and at first I didn't know how long I'd stay there. I guess if I had thought about what I was doing, I would have been ter- rified." Farb's work "made sense" in France more than in the United States because her technique is so different from most of what is happening in New York. Based loosely on landscape elements and patterns, her work is "painterly"; that is, her canvases are roughly tex- tured rather than emphasizing outline and flat contour. The paint itself — applied in various thicknesses with brush strokes clearly evident — contri- butes as much to the composition's impact as do the shapes and colors it defines. She has been compared to de Kooning and early Matisse. "Her basic intention," says Champa, "is to pro- duce work that is gratuitously beauti- ful, hand-crafted, unreproducible." Such devotion to making "luxurious objects" is a conservative approach that brands her as a "maverick" in the con- text of current New York work. Farb had a one-woman show at the Elise Meyer Gallery in New York (owned by Elise Meyer '76) in 1981, and the reaction to it, according to Champa, was that "there's no surface like that around today. Adrienne has the ability to manipulate her paint sur- face a little more personally than has tended to be the case in this country during the last fifteen years." In a review of Farb's New York show published in Arts Magazine (May-June 1981), Champa suggested that her decision to work in "romantic isolation has its qualitative rewards . . .What better place than Paris to work out mid-century French quality and American coarsenings of it at one and the same time. . .The color that Farb musters in her paintings is enthu- siastically raucous French natural color — rough of surface and shape, often strangely close-hued but intense . . .[and] wildly alive in the strangely scaled shapes of Farb's painting." To fully appreciate Farb's paintings, the viewer might best come equipped with at least an elementary knowledge of art history and theory. Her works are abstract, and most are not "pretty" in the popular sense. Large shapes, their edges often ragged or blurred, are painted in combinations of colors that are unfamiliar and thus, perhaps, a bit disconcerting. "Her colors are not natu- ralistic or harmonious," Champa ob- serves. "But they also are not arbitrarily odd. She devises them out of a natural metaphor, although it is hard to name just what it is." Adrienne Farb looks — and sounds — every inch the artist. She is small and fine-boned, with dark brown, almost black, hair pulled into a severe bun. Her attire is a blend of RISD artsy and Continental 45 chic: suecie miniskirt, bLu-k tights, a striped jersev that dips precariously off one shoulder now and then, and a denim jacket, Farb returned to the U.S. this past September, to visit family and friends and to mount a one-woman exhibition at Wheaton College's Watson Gallery. Her visits here have been infrequent, a fact underscored by the subtle French accent in her English phrasing. "I think in French now," she confides. "When I'm back here, 1 have to tr)' very hard to speak English. I don't speak it at all in France." How did it feel to be back in "Les Etats Unis?" "I noticed immediately that the light here is ver\' yellow," Farb answers without hesitation. "In Paris, the light is veiled, diffuse. In the south-of- France [she runs the words together, so vou almost can hear the rapid French cadences: siid dc France], the light is verv vibrant, except in the summer when it is paled and whited- out." Farb is a confirmed Francophile, for reasons both practical and emotional. On the practical side, France takes very good care of its artists, and this is ap- pealing to Farb, who dislikes the nuts and bolts of promoting her career and insuring a steady income. "There are a lot of social benefits for artists in France," she says. "The gov- ernment pays your medical insurance, provides public housing. You have to submit a lot of slides and do a lot of pushing to qualify, but it's a very so- cialist svstem. France has always pro- tected its artists with social benefits. This year the budget for purchasing art tripled, and it declined for the sci- ences." After a few vears of skimping, of "eating a lot of bread," Farb is begin- ning to sell her work. She has exhib- ited in a number of group shows in France, and had a one-woman show in April 1981 at the Cite Internationale des Arts. Two galleries in France are interested in carrying her paintings, and Elise Meyer represents her in New York. "For a long time my parents helped me, my friends bought draw- ings," she recalls. "I hope eventually to work something out so I can just paint, and not have to deal with the business end." On the less practical side, Farb just plain loves living in France. "It really feels like my home," she says, "It's a 46 gentle place to live. At first it was hard to break in and be accepted. Women are treated more lightly in France, and my work seems very different to them because I'm not of their culture. It's a sticky situation sometimes. "The French culture is very formal; they even have certain ways you have to eat different kinds of cheese. It's funny, because I never thought of myself as a formal person, but I enjoy the formality and find it gives my life structure. And at the same time I am detached from it and amused by it." Farb maintains a studio in Paris but spends much of the year with her French fiance, Jean-Philippe, an archi- tect, in a tiny town in the south of France, "an hour northwest of Cannes. It's very isolating: There are sheep next door, lots of mountains. In the winter, the colors are very rich: bleeding red earth, green pines. There are 200 people in the town, and I'm the only artist. They don't really understand me, and most of them are older peo- ple, but they're very congenial. We have a little house, and half of it is my studio. I like to work behind a closed door, with no one in the house." Even as a child, Farb wanted to live outside the United States. "When I was younger we lived in Mexico for a while, and I adored it, I had very ro- mantic notions when I was about twelve of going back to Mexico. But by the time I went to Brown, I had aban- doned that dream. "Most of my family are artists," Farb continues, "and I had always painted. But I didn't want to go to an art school — I was trying to do anything but art! I studied art history at Brown, and that seemed more practical: 1 thought I probably would be an art his- torian, and teach and live in New York. "In my junior and senior years at Brown, I had to make a real intellectual decision." She felt compelled to make a commitment to drawing and painting. "It was very emotional. Being an artist requires the kind of passion that makes you want to sacrifice everything for it. You just have to decide to do it, and then take the consequences." The curator of the Watson Gallery flicks a light switch, and the rec- tangular room is flooded with fluorescence. Adrienne Farb paces on the huge oriental rug, regarding her paintings and drawings with open- 'Of eyed seriousness. There are fourteen paintings, twelve drawings, each dis- played with an accompanying card giv- ing the tttle and date of execuHon. The names are highly descriptive: "Blue Slide with Orange" (1981), "Little Green Triangle" (1981), "Cut Trees Against Observatoire" (1981), "Sur- rounding Green with Fraise" (1982), and "White Summer" (1982). "It's funny to do your work out of intensity, and all alone, and then see them in a gallery with other people around," Farb reflects. "I don't feel the emotions anymore; I feel detached from my work, and can't remember doing it. My best work is done in emo- tional periods, and it's very much tied to who I am." A friend at Brown, Farb says, had asked her if she was worried about how her show at Wheaton would be received. "I feel confident about my work," she says. "People either like it or they don't. There's no way to con- vince them one way or the other. I think I always trust people more who like the paintings, though. Painting is what I do; the drawings are a release from it. "My drawings are very fast and spontaneous, more casual, and people buy them readily. My paintings are slow and pensive; they take me at leas a few weeks to complete. The people who buy them are more thoughtful, and know more about my work." Near the end of her seven-week visit to the U.S. last fall, Farb was get- ting very homesick for France, for re- turning to her studio and her fiance, for picking up her pencils, pastels, and c; oils and facing a blank white paper or canvas again. Living in France, she feels, is her "destiny. It just seems nat- ural for me to live there. It felt natural to meet Jean-Philippe. It all makes sense." If Farb had stayed in the U.S., Kermit Champa believes, "she probabl) would have ended up teaching. The French system has been supportive enough for her to continue to paint." "I don't really have any idea where my art is heading," Farb says. "Look- ing back, I can see my work as a series . . .three months of this, three months of that. But while I'm doing it, it's harder to see the transitions. And for every good painting, there are others that don't work, "My goal is just to get a lot of good painting done." e: ^^■civyTf'^t'Uiij i ,.««. 'ONLY KUNZEL' Pops conductor Erich Kunzel ('60 A.M.) wants his audiences to leave saying. That was fun' By Debra Shore It is entirely likely that Erich Kun- zel is a prominent conductor to- day because of one lousy chemis- try professor at Dartmouth. Certainly there were other more felicitous rela- tionships that helped him on his way — not to mention a heaping table- spoon of talent — but the chemistry pro- fessor definitely was a factor. Had there been a lasting bond between Kunzel and his professor, instead of a broken one, things might have been altogether different. Erich Kunzel today is one of the top pops conductors in the country. He is music director of the Cincinnati Sym- phony Pops, which he joined in 1965. But Cincinnati is merely an airplane ticket away from San Diego, San Fran- cisco, Toronto, Indianapolis, Winnipeg, Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, Dallas, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia — all cities where he regularly conducts pops con- certs — and an additional boat ride away from his real home base on Swans Is- land, Maine. Sound busy? Kunzel con- ducts an average of 100 concerts a year, not including rehearsals. Since 1977 he has made seventeen recordings with the Cincinnati Symphony. His digital recording of Tchaikovsky's "1812 Over- ture" has sold more than 200,000 cop- ies. His latest recording is "A Tribute to John Lennon" with soloists Roberta Flack and David Clayton Thomas. Clearly Kunzel has traveled far from that chemistry lab in Hanover, but let us return there for a moment, to find out what happened. Born in 1935, raised in Greenwich, Connecticut, Erich Kunzel entered Dartmouth College fully intending to be a chemistry major. Oh, he'd had music in his background, all right. Piano lessons from the age of ten. Member of the band and orchestra at Greenwich High. (He would even start rehearsals when the orchestra conduc- tor was late.) Founding member of the Greenwich Youth Festival, a group of kids who arranged and performed Gil- bert and Sullivan operettas in the summertime. (Erich conducted The Pi- rates of Penzance and Yeoman of the Guard.) For all that, he went to Dart- mouth as a chemistry major. And then. . ."I took a course with a chemistry professor," Kunzel recalls. "He was a jerk. He offered no inspira- tion, he was dry, mechanical. He com- pletely turned me off. So I went over to the music department and said, 'You've got a new major,' and that was it." Following Dartmouth, Kunzel ap- plied to Harvard and to the Eastman Conservatory of Music. Before he com- pleted his Eastman application. Har- vard accepted him, and he went to Harvard. While there, he attended every rehearsal of the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra. Before he'd even completed his Harvard degree, how- ever. Brown offered him a paid assis- tantship to conduct the University Chorus. Kunzel transferred to Brown, earning a master's degree in 1960. "Brown was regarded as having a good liberal-arts music department then," he says. "I think it's gotten better." Kunzel was at Brown for seven years — he rose to become an associate professor — teaching music and con- ducting the chorus. Among his stu- dents then were several now-notable alumni. John Stewart, Kunzel's assis- tant as director of the Glee Club and choral program, is now a world-famous tenor. Douglas Sheldon is a vice presi- dent of Columbia Artists Management. David Gockley '65 is director of the Houston Grand Opera. ("I introduced him to opera, took him to Santa Fe," Kunzel says.) Walter Carlos '62, a stu- dent majoring in physics, did a senior honors project with Kunzel. Together 47 thev wrote music for Brown s IBM computer. Later Walter Carlos wrote "Switched-On Bach." While still an undergraduate at Dartmouth, Kunzel had attended a summer school run b\' French conduc- tor Pierre Monteux in Hancock, Maine. "That was a great impetus in my desire to become a conductor," he says. "I would consider Monteux my only real teacher." Of the forty conductors study ing at the school, eight were chosen to participate in the final concert. This was a great honor, a significant boost. Of the eight, one was Erich Kunzel, "the onlv young'un." Kunzel eventu- ally became Monteux's personal assis- tant. He took a leave of absence from Brown in 1963 to be with Monteux be- fore he died. What makes a good conductor? you ask. Can the skills be taught? "You need three things," Kunzel replies. "First, vou must have a great ear. If you don't, vou don't know what you're doing. Second, you have to be a leader of men — psychologically speaking. You have to get the best out of that huge 180-piece ensemble out there, to coax the best out of them. Third, you must know how to direct — to communi- cate — which is baton technique." Kunzel began his career as a classical conductor. He made his debut at the Santa Fe Op- era, and later led symphonies with the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and the Halle Festival Orchestra. He left Brown in 1965 to become resident conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Upon his arrival, Kunzel inherited Cin- cinnati's fledgling Eight O'Clock Pops Concerts — a winter subscription series of popular concerts — in addition to the Symphony's regular classical schedule. "I came and all of a sudden I had to do pops," Kunzel recalls. "My first soloist was Dave Brubeck in October 1965. That began it all. I scrambled to put together a program. Then, in 1970, for the first time Arthur Fiedler invited me to conduct the Boston Pops. That really began my thrust into the pops field. It just kept snowballing." According to Kunzel, the first flakes in the pops snowball fell late in the nineteenth century. In 1881 Major Henry Lee Higginson founded the Bos- ton Symphony Orchestra. By 1885 Hig- ginson realized that the Boston Sym- phony was "too stuffy," as Kunzel puts it, for some people. So Higginson es- 'A POPS CONCERT IS MUSICAL FUN' tablished the Boston Popular Concerts. They were a tremendous success and soon were called the Boston Pops. Under Kunzel, Cincinnati's Eight O'clock Pops Concerts turned from what one critic called an "artistic after- thought" into a truly popular series contributing 40 percent of the orches- tra's ticket revenues. Kunzel has re- turned to Boston as a guest conductor many times, and for a while he was thought to be heir apparent to Arthur Fiedler. But Kunzel preferred not to mount anyone else's podium. Instead he built his own dynasty based in Cin- cinnati while fanning out across the continent for other appearances. He conducts the Ravinia Festival Pops with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Pops, and pops concerts in Cleveland, Toronto, Dallas, San Di- ego, and Boston. Kunzel's schedule for a particularly busy ten-day stretch last summer shows how he moves around: Saturday, June 26 — Opened Indian- apolis Symphony summer season. Sunday, June 27 — Flew to Toronto. Monday, June 28 — Toronto Sym- phony concert, opening night. Kunzel rehearses the Ravinia Festii'al Pops. M 1^\ Tuesday, June 29 — Toronto Sym- phony rehearsal. Wednesday, June 30 — Toronto Symphony concert. Thursday, July 1 — Cleveland Or- chestra concert. Blossom Festival. Friday, July 2 — Cleveland OrchestTc concert. Blossom Festival (largest at- tendance ever to hear CSO in live per- formance). Saturday, July 3 — Cleveland Or- chestra concert. Blossom Festival. Sunday, July 4 — Ravinia Pops (Chi- cago). Monday, July 5 — Toronto Sym- phony Orchestra concert. What makes Kunzel's travels addi- tionally frenetic is that his home is on Swans Island, Maine. There, with his wife, Brunhilde, and a caretaker, Erich has built his dream house and named it Camelot. Though it has taken them fifteen years, the stone-and-glass dream house is finally finished. It has wood furnace, a solarium filled with tropical fruit trees, a greenhouse, a rathskeller with stained glass windows and two boats tied up at the dock — a thirty-two-foot cabin cruiser called Exa libiir, and a thirty-foot sloop called Edelweiss. Regrettably, Erich Kunzel's time in Camelot is brief. Nearly every weekend of the year he hops the nine- car ferry to the mainland, drives to the Bar Harbor airport, and flies off to as- sume his mantle as Prince of Pops. We caught up with Kunzel in Chicago in early August. A handsome, bearded man, he seemed unaffected by his exhausting 48 r^ •-* • ^-r^TT'^'i'ifW? S»> Kwnze/'s Rathskeller is an important spot in his Swans Island, Maine, home. schedule. What gets him through it? "Lots of beer," he says. Kunzel had flown in to conduct one of his nine concerts with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for the Ravinia Festival Pops. The program for August 1 was what one person called "musical cliches" — Rossini's "William Tell Overture" and Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. But Kun- zel hastened to their defense. "Pops is a huge umbrella that en- compasses what one would call 'fam- liliar music' I'm doing Cole Porter for the next concert and Tchaikovsky after that. You plan a pops season so that everybody gets a little of something. When you go to a classical concert, you're going with the same philosophi- cal and psychological outlook as you would to see a Rembrandt," Kunzel explains. "You're going for aesthetic reasons. You're not going to an evening of Cole Porter for aesthetic reasons. You're going to have musical fun. It's symphonic pops entertainment. . . The happiest reward I can get is if people leave a concert that I conducted and say, 'That was fun, I enjoyed that.'" Indeed it seemed a special treat to hear one of the world's greatest sym- phony orchestras play what many peo- ple know best as the theme song from "The Lone Ranger." And Kunzel left his audience laughing. His final selec- tion was Haydn's "Farewell Sym- phony" (No. 45, F-Sharp Minor.) Haydn wrote the piece to convince his boss. Prince Nicholas Esterhazy, that the musicians — who lived at the Prince's summer palace without their families — deserved a vacation. In the symphony's final movement, the musi- cians drop out and exit the stage one by one until only two violins are left playing. Prince Nicholas got the mes- sage; the musicians left the next day to rejoin their families. Kunzel has a reputation as some- thing of a showman. He introduces each piece to the audience with humor and enthusiasm and isn't above the occasional practical joke. He once stripped down to an Arthur Fiedler tee shirt during a Boston Pops perform- ance of "The Stripper." As Kunzel conducted the "Farewell Symphony" at Ravinia this night, the lights over the orchestra dimmed tier by tier and the musicians indeed got up and left, carrying basses and oboes, trumpets and trombones with them. Kunzel himself seemed increasingly bored until, with one light and two vio- lins remaining, he slumped back against the podium railing, gestured wearily, and completed the piece. Lights out. It was, of course, an act — and as the audience filed out into the night, one listener murmured, "Only Kunzel, only Kunzel."

O been a taithful fixture at Brown tootball games for the past seventy years. Herman was the featured subject of an arti- cle in the Provuiaia' loiinial-Biilktm this past fall, which told of his constant and enthusi- astic presence at games and pre-game tail- gate parties. Herman, who retired from the real estate business only four years ago, re- calls the different eras of Brown foot- ball — the 1916 Rose Bowl, the Iron Men of 192b, the leaner vears during the 1960s and early '70s, and the revival of the past ten vears. In all, he estimates that he's seen almost 400 Brown games, an average of six or seven a \ear. 1 Q Walter Adler, Providence, is J.O "looking forward to our 65th reun- ion this year. A few of us in Providence and nearbv cities in Massachusetts and Connect- icut expect to be there." ^r\ Capt. Isaiah Okh, USN (Ret.), and i_V/ his wife, Marie-Rose Olch, of Xice, France, were in Houston, Texas, this fall for the reunion of the U.S.S. Stack (DD-406), the destroyer Cy placed in com- mission in late November 1939 and which he commanded through the first winter of World War 11, operating out of Argentina and Iceland. During late January 1942, while searching off the southwest coast of Iceland for an enemy submarine that had sunk the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Alexander Hamilton, the Stack made sound contact and fired two depth charges against a submerged target during adverse weather conditions. Nazi naval records captured after the war dis- closed that the Stack's attacks had damaged the U-132, forcing the sub to return for re- pairs. In ceremonies at the end of the reun- ion, Cy was commissioned an admiral in the Texas Navy by the governor of Texas. ^ /I The men of the class were ^^ awarded the Metcalf Bowl for hav- ing the highest percentage of contributors to the Brown Fund for 1981-82, reports jack Lubrano, head class agent.
