Get it together-Buckle up. 



The new *84 Ford Tempo . 
Technology never felt so comfortable. 



The inside story. 

TemjxVs interior is a 
a )nipiiter-refined compart- 
ment tor five. Computer- 
designed placement of 
seats, door roof and win- 
dow areas afford maxi- 
mum space efficiency. 

Even Tempo's front- 
wheel-drive configuration 
was designed to pro\ide 
more interior room. Since 
there is no drive sh;ift, 
there is no large hump {o 
rob valuable flotjr space. 
In fact, Tempo actually has 
more rear room than a 
Mercedes 300D.* 

For driver's convenience, 
controls are all placed 



within easy reach. For 
added ease, wipers and 
washer directionals, high- 
beams and flash-to-pass 
are located on the steering 
column it.self 

Technology that works 
for you. 

Outside, a unitjue aero- 
dynamic shape channels 
the ^ind over and around 
Tempo to help increase 
fuel efficiencv: It also 
directs the airflow, reduc- 
ing overall lift for 
improved stabilit\' and 
directional control. 

Its front-wheel drive 
delivers all-leather 



traction, while its ft)ur- 
wheel independent sus- 
l^ensic )n provides a 
snuxnh ride. 

Plus, Tempo has the 
world's most ad\'anced 
autt)motive computer the 
EEC-I\! It proces.ses up to 
250,000 commands per 
second. Coupled with 
Tempo's 2300 HSC (High 
Swirl C( )mbu.stion ) engine, 
you get tjuick po'vver 
response from a standing 
start and at cruising speed. 

Best-built 
American cars. 

When we sa\' "Quality is 
Job 1," we are talking 



about more than a 
commitment. We are talk- 
ing about results. A recent 
survey concluded Ford 
makes the best-built Amer- 
ican cars. The sur\ey 
measured owner-reported 
problems during the first 
three months of owner- 
ship of 1983 cars designed 
and built in the U.S. And 
that commitment con- 
tinues in 1984.

CARPyiNG THE MAIL 



Total bore? 

tclitor: I received m\ October issue 
of HAM and was disappointed. In the 
old days, the most entertaining part of 
vour magazine was "Carrying the 
Mail." Now, the letters are a total bore. 
What happened to all those pithv ex- 
changes, herce attacks, and indignant 
replies? The October issue contained 
two sycophantic letters praising back 
issues as "The best," and "Collector's 
item." Are you trying to justify your 
budget? If I had to guess I'd say the 
monotony of "Carrying the Mail " is 
the result of the school's fundraising 
efforts — the less objectionable material 
in BAM. the more lucre for the Uni- 
versity. Well, your strategy has 
backfired. You'll get no more money 
from me until you spice things up. 
Any harassment from your fundraisers 
and you'll hear from m^ 30()-pound 
Samoan attorney. 

I found vour co\er storv on Ste- 
phanie LaFarge to be ironic. It's great 
that she's helping these suffering souls 
with terminal cancer. I was amazed, 
however, at her own reactions to 
death, and have to wonder what it is 
she's teaching her patients. Picture the 
scene; Her father has just passed away. 
She returns home to her seven chil- 
dren and her husband and possibly 
others. There is "terror in the fainily."

dying then sits chest to chest with a 
chimpanzee for about four hours and 
calls it "the most tranquil, integrative 
experience I had at that time." 1 won- 
der how tranquil and integrative it was 
for the terror stricken meinbers of her 
family. After all, there was only one 
Nimchimsky, the ainazing, comforting 
chimp. Besides, what is an "integrative 
experience" anyway? They never went 
over that in my psychology classes. 

I was also mystified by her reaction 
to the videotapes of those patients who 
ha\e died: "I get to do a lot of con- 
structive, creative grieving and mourn- 
ing . . ." Does anybody out there in 
Bruno-land know what creative griev- 
ing and mourning are? Can I expect 
to see improvisational grieving trios at 
local funeral parlors? Can we expect a 
"New Wave" in grieving and mourn- 
ing? What should I wear?

Stephanie LaFarge 

Editor: While reading the October 
'83 article about Stephanie LaFarge, I 
realized that a friend of mine, who 
died of cancer a month ago, had par- 
ticipated in this very program. My 
friend died after struggling for four 
years to overcome the adversities ot 
Hodgkin's disease. As I think back, it 
was her involvement with the videotap- 
ing which allowed her to develop her 
ability to coinmunicate her thoughts to 
others, It was an additional boost when 
her particular tape was aired on a Bos- 
ton T\' station during its nightly news- 
cast. 

Stephanie LaFarge should be com- 
mended for her involvement in help- 
ing people such as my friend. For in 
her pursuit to aid in their coping with 
death, we all benefit. Cancer is a harsh 
disease that hits all ages and involves 
many others besides the victim. Learn- 
ing and understanding through those 
with cancer allows the rest of us to go 
on. Although I miss my friend more 
and more e\ery day, I think back of- 
ten to her strength and courage and I 



thank Stephanie for whatever role she 
may have pla\ed in making this possi- 
ble. 

NANCY B. CHICK '80 

Nnv York City 

Editor: Stephanie LaFarge's piece, 
■Riding Piggyback Into Death," spouts 
.ill the current fashionable bromides 
about death and dying: Dying can be 
an (jpportimity for personal growth, 
the desperately ill patient suffers less 
than his healthy family, etc., etc. Why 
is this virtually the only view of dying 
we can get in the popular media? This 
monolithic stress on "growth," altruism 
of patients, and so forth may look 
sweet and humane, but I think it is 
pernicious. It gives a one-sided and 
unreasonable model for patients to 
conform to, and is likely to encourage 
families to be unsympathetic when the 
patients don't measure up. Why can't 
we ever hear from a cancer patient 
who takes the common sense view that 
his illness is just plain bad, and per- 
liaps even has the teineritv to suppose 
that he is suffering more than his 
healthy family and that it's their place 
to be altruistic? And as for LaFarge's 
incredible (and incredibly brutal) quote 
that ". . . any society needs a certain

t has taken a long time figuring out how to 
clean Venetian blinds efficiently. EJack in 1939 
a patent was granted for a bru.sh-iike blind 
cleaner, but it suffered a fatal flaw — the nylon 
bristles simply spread the dirt around instead of 
picking it up. Later inventions worked better but 
mostly cleaned only one slat at a time, not much 
of an advance over no tool at all. Now a California 
designer has finally solved the problem convinc- 
ingly with a simple handheld tool that saves up 
to 80'V, of your cleaning time. It has 7 roller 
fingers, 4" long and covered with a synthetic 
lambswool that picks up and holds dust and dirt. 
Pull the trigger and the fingers spread enough to 
slip over the blind slats (6 mini-blind slats or 3 
conventional 2" slats). Release the trigger and 
the slats are held firmly between the cleaning 
rollers. Tlien move the cleaner back and forth 
along the blind, release and grip the next set of 
slats. When soiled, the cleaning rollers can be 
removed and washed. The.se revolutionary blind 
cleaning tools cost $9.00 ($1.95) #A787.' 



ULTRA- 
HUMIDIFIER 

Here is a new ap- 
proach to humidify- 
ing that is so revolution- 
ary and inventive that 
it makes all other home 
humidifiers obsolete. It's 
the ultra sonic humidi- 
fier. We discovered it 
last fall in Japan and 
during home use la.st 
winter found its per 
formance to be truly 
outstanding. It uses 
extremely high fre- 
quency sound waves to 
break up water into a 
fine mist that carries 
and diffuses exception 
ally well. One tabletop unit can humidify an 
entire 1500 sq. ft. apartment or house. It is al.so 
ultra-safe — the vapor stream is cold (even 
tiiough it looks like hot steam) so it is impossible 
to get a bum. It is ultra-quiet — virtually 
noiseless, unlike conventional humidifiers. It is 
ultr.iportable — measures only 14" x 6" x 9". 
weighs under 12 lbs. and has a convenient carry 




handle. The removable reservoir holds one gallon 
of water, refillable at any sink and runs for 10-12 
hours on a filling. This himiidifier by Bionaire has 
a humidstat control (low, medium or high) and 
shuts off automatically when it reaches the 
desired humidity level. Emitting nozzle swivels 
360 and the unit shuts off automatically when 
empty or tipped over. $149.00 ($10.95) #A888, 




EASY CHARO E 

ow would you like 
to recharge your 
car battery without 
ever opening the hood? 
Sound impossible? It's 
not, thanks to the Easy 
Uiarge, which takes the 
old idea of jiunper cables and refines it to 
a new level of ea.se, convenience and .safety. With 
traditionaljumper cables you have to maneuver a 
second car fender to-fender with the disabled 
car, open both hoods, and attach leads from 
battery to battery. The Easy Charge simplifies 
this process brilliantly by substituting connec- 
tion from cigarette lighter to cigarette lighter. 
Youjust plug one end of the Easy Charge into the 
lighter of a running car, pass the 16' cord through 
both car windows and insert the other end in the 
lighter of the disabled car. After a few minutes' 
wait the battery is recharged sufficiently to 
restart the car. The Easy Charge is small enough 
to fit in the glove compartment. $20.00 ($3.95) 
#A629. 1\vo for $37.00 ($3.95) #A6292. 

THINKING THERMOSTAT 




The basic method for reducing home heating 
costs is setback — turning down the thermo- 
stat at night and whenever you are out of the 
house for a few hours. The thinking man's 
thermostat — with a builtin microprocessor 
unit — lets you program the temperature you 
want and the time you want it, so the house is 
warm when you step out of bed. As for the 
"thinking," the unit senses the rate of heat loss 
for the house, so it turns on the furnace earlier on 
very cold mornings, later on warmer mornings. 
The program can accommodate 6 different 
temperature settings each day through a cycle of 
7 days, so it is no problem to set up different 
schedules for workdays and weekends. Program- 
ming is simple — accomplished with a single 
button — but provides all the fiexibility you 
need to tailor home heating/cooling to your 
particular schedule and lifestyle. Best of all, you 
can install it yourself in place of your present 
thermostat in about 10 minutes. No wiring to the 
furnace, just fasten existing thermo.stat wires to 
a color-coded connector panel. The thermostat 
works just as effectively with central air condi- 
tioning. $79.00 ($3.95) #A855.

DUST-MAGNETS' 



REINVENTING THE CHAIR 




If we ever compile a book on Tlie Old Ways That 
Were Better Ways, we will certainly include a 
chapter nn lambswool diistei's. On its own 
lanihswool actually attracts and holds dust like a 
magnet. The static charge in the wool causes 
dust literally to leap off surfaces where it has 
accumulated, making these dustei's just the 
thing for dusting bric-a-brac, china, crystal, 
pictures and other fragile items. The standard 
27" long duster costs $7.00 ($1.95) #AT80; the 
bent-handled model is $8.00 ($1.95) #.\781; two 
mini-dusters cost $8.00 ($1.95) #A794. Tlie 
entire group, a total of four dusters, is an 
exclusive Tlinlsfor Living offer and co.sts just 
$16.00 ($2.95) #A783. Buying the group saves 
you $9.90. almost like getting one duster free! 

WATERING WHIZ 




Now you can water all your plants in a single 
trip with this handy indoor garden ho.se. This 
50' vinyl hose comes with a set of four adaptors 
that readily attach to most indoor and outdoor 
faucets. Fi'om there you just take the water 
where you want it — an easy-control handle 
allows you to turn a splashless stream of water on 
and off as needed. There's a snap-in misting 
attachment, so after you water the roots you can 
spray the foliage. Tlie kit costs $11.00 ($1.95) 
itm\. Two for $19.00 ($2.95) #.^6812. 



Conventional .seating 
positions the body 
.so the angle between 
torso and legs is 90' or 
less. Tills posture tilts 
the spine forward, puts 
pressure on the lower 
back, and cramps 
breathing and circu- 
lation. The Cloud Chair 
represents an entirely 
new concept of seating 
de\eloped in coopera- 
tion with doctors and 
physical therapists. It 
redistributes body 
weight using the knees 
and lower legs so the 
back and upper body automatically straighten 
and find a relaxed position of perfect balance. 
The chair frame is oak laminate shaped by a 
"bentwood" process. The seat and knee rest are 
padded and upholstered in a neutral brown color 
The chair po.sitions you at the exact same height 




as a regular office or table chair and has been 
u.sed successfully in homes and offices by people 
4'6" to 6'9". It will improve your comfort, posture 
and the back strain associated with long periods 
of sitting in conventional chairs. $90.00

Pat and Kappy 

Editor: Your excellent October 
1983 issue received yesterday prompts 
the following item, which is the result 
of Jay Barry's memory-stirring "Re- 
flections," 

Your "Remembering Pat and 
Kappy' was most appreciated, and 
brought some good memories to the 
fore. My first contacts with these two 
gentlemen were in my freshman year 
in the fall of 1931. Kappy — I wouldn't 
have dared to so address him — was 
Mr. Kapstein, the instructor of the sec- 
tion of Freshman English (mandatory) 
to which I was assigned. He was a 
good teacher and understanding of us 
voung freshmen who were, no doubt, 
sort of bewildered by the transition 
from high school to COLLEGE. 

Professor Kenny, although also in 
the English department, I remember 
differently. To me he was Captain 
Kennv, Plans and Training Officer of 
the 103rd Field Artillery, Rhode Is- 
land National Guard. An ad in the 
Brown Daily Herald invited freshmen to 
talk with Professor Kenny if they were 
interested in knowing of the opportu- 
nity to serve in the 103rd and 
participate in horseback riding with 
pay at the .Armory of Mounted Com-

I put my 
father in every suit J 




At Corbin we still make 
ZA them the way my 
Xa. father did. A suit still 
takes 220 different opera- 
tions—no more, no less. "If 
you skip one,"my father said, 
"a customer might not know 
what you skipped, but when 
he looked in the mirror 
he"d know you skipped 
something." 

The only comers we were 
ever allowed to cut were the 
comers of pocket linings. "A 
pocket with square comers 
doesn't lie flat and smooth," 
he said, "and besides, bits of 
tobacco get caught in square 
comers." 



Even The Thread 

My father was a perfec- 
tionist, not just about tailor- 
ing, but about fabrics, colors, 
even thread. We used to look 
at fabrics and designs that 
were available to other 
men's clothiers as well as 
ourselves and he'd say, 
"Our customers are 
special. They should 
have special fabrics." 
That's why Corbin 
creates exclusives for 
its collection of fab- 
rics and colors. 400 of 
them. And that's why, 
when you wear a 
Corbin suit, you don't 

. meet yourself coming 

\ and going. 




Nathan Corbin. 

Wrong-Side-Out 

"Look at the inside of a 
suit to see how it will 
look outside," my 
father said. "If 
everything is 
done right inside, 
it all comes to- 
gether outside." 
Take the canvas 
coat front, the 
foundation of 
any tailored 
coat. It should 
be carefully 
basted by hand, 
not glued together 
with heat and an ad 
hesive. That would 
surely be a cut comer 




Howard Cxirbia Chairman of the Board. 



My Father's Stores 

Even the stores who carry 
Corbin go back to my father 
He didn't teach us how to 
make a fast buck— he didn't 
know how. He only knew 
how to work hard, to be pro- 
ductive, and to build a qual- 
ity product and quality 
relationships. "You didn't do 
business with a store one 
season and not the next. " 
This season's collection 
of Corbin natural-shoulder 
suits, sport coats and trou- 
sers for men and of tailored 
fashions for women is avail- 
able at leading clothing 
stores across the nation.

Does anyone like 
the Band? 

Editor: As an active member of the 
Brown Band, I would like very much 
to know if there are an\ alimini out 
there who liki' what the Band does. We 
are constantiv receiving complaints 
from irate aliuTini who may have been 
offended bv a joke or a formation we 
have done, but we almost never hear 
from those alumni who [ike our shows. 
Are there in fact an\ of you? If not, 
then we will undoubtedh have to radi- 
callv change the format of our activi- 
ties, to present what we perceive from 
alumni letters \ou want to hear. I k)um' 
theie are some of you who enjov the 
Band, because I've seen alumni grin- 
ning, clapping their hands and singing 
along when we play Brown songs, and 
I've heard alumni laughing at jokes in 
our shows. I realize it's much easier to 
get fired up enough to write a letter 
when vou're angrv than when you're 
happy, but please try to let us know if 
you enjoy us. Without feedback from 
all sides we have no reasonable gauge 
bv which to change ourselves. If we 
are pushed from one side only, we 
mav fall o\er. If you enjoy the Band, 
please, please let us know.

ten very private cottage rooms overlook the

Abaco to the west. From our informal club- 

» house-lounge, where we serve elegant five- 
^course dinners and a tropical buffet lunch, we 
have a beautiful view of pink sandy beaches 
and the breaking surf. The ABACO INN is a 

* lifestyle — it's our home and we think it's 
very special. We offer a warm, leisurely, 
,„. "away-from-it-all" atmosphere, as well as 
snorkeling; scuba diving (we're both divers); 
deep-sea reef and bonefishing; sailing; boat- fljt* 
ing; windsurfing and trips to fishing and ^m 

k boatbuilding settlements on nearby islands. ^ 
The Inn is just a pleasant walk from the

sitidenls lotikl not ii.se Faiince Hoii.se 
tiiiiil this rftio\atioii — which of course 
is sillv and lalse, since 1 spent every 
dav there for tour years, and I just 
graduated this past June. The descrip- 
tion of Production Workshop as a 
"dari<, somewhat tatty theatre" is even 
more misleading. It was, right up 
through this past June, not only tatty, 
but a quite vibrant place filled night 
and dav with hard working students 
attempting to create some theatre. I 
ha\e nothing against the new PW, but 
there is no need to denigrate a space 
that was very effective and had a lot of 
meaning to a lot of people. Why didn't 
the article mention that at one point 
(two years ago) it was a real issue 
about whether or not to move PW, 
and that thousands (literally!) of signa- 
tures were collected against moving it? 
Could it be that BAM is too busy im- 
pressing the more ancient alumni with 
false impressions of what Brown really 
is. \'ou guvs write this mag as if your 
readers never e\en went there. I got 
news for you. all your readers did! So 
who are you trying to fool? ^'()ur- 
selves? Let's have some real journal- 
ism! 

ROGER W. K.AUFMAN '83

Anderson's resignation 

1 was flabbergasted to read about 
John Anderson's resignation in the 
Xrw York Time>. under the heading, 
"Pressure to Win, Even at Brown." 
The story quotes Coach Anderson as 
saying "Everyone expects you to win 
all the time and we just can't do it." 

I'm rather disturbed bv the implica- 
tions of that remark, and I must sav 1 
find it hard to belie\e. 1 entered 
Brown as a freshman in the fall of 
1937, and from that da\ to this we've 
had far more losing than winning sea- 
sons, or so it seems. But I really don't 
think that Brown has put undue pres- 
sure on coaches to win. I've always 
thought we kept football in proper 
perspective, which is not to say that we 
don't like to win as much as the next 
gu\ . 1 happened to be in Pro\idence 
for the first time in years the day after 
we beat Dartmouth and the Providence 
Journal story indicated that Coach 
.Anderson was elated and said some- 
thing to the effect that if we could win 
the last games it would give us mo- 
mentum ft)r next season. There was 
no him of resignation. \et two days 
later it came. 

Coach .Anderson gave us eight win- 
ning seasons and one even split out of 



eleven. Under his regime you felt 
Brown had a chance in every game 
(except ma\be Penn State). That's why 
it's hard to believe that such a record 
was not good enough. Could it be that 
Coach Anderson was too hard on 
himself? Could he have been the \ic- 
tim of his own success? 

Is there more to this resignation 
than meets the eye? 

ALLAN S. NANES '41 

Sih'er Spring, Aid. 

Architectural damage? 

Editor: T.E.D. Klein '69 has 
pointed out a problem with Brown's 
growth ("Carrying the Mail." February 
and June/July). There is a real danger 
that, as the University expands, it will 
inflict architectural damage on the East 
Side. Already some of the newer offer- 
ings are just ugly, and no amount of 
ivy will ever make them prettv. There 
is a solution. 

I believe that Brown should form a 
Last Look Committee. What this com- 
mittee would do is to take one last look 
at the completed plans, renderings, 
models, and the building site before 



construction begins. I firmly believe 
that this committee would uncover the 
obvious errors and ugly designs which 
somehow escape the most gifted archi- 
tects, the most competent engineers, 
and the most thoughtful building 
committees. 

I suggest that David R Weaver 
("Carrving the Mail," June/Julv) be 
made a member of the committee and 
that Mr. Klein be appointed chairman. 

DAVID G. PARENT '61

The new design 

Editor: Though the new text size is 
larger I find it harder to read 
— probablv because the line spacing 
has remained the same. The new 
"look" is lighter, in general, than the 
old. It lacks the punch of the old, 
heavy typeface of the headlines. The 
editorial content therefore doesn't 
compete well with the advertisements. 
For example, on page 2 "Carrying the 
Mail" is the last headline that mv eves 
go to. 

DAVID R. WEAVER '72 

Los Angeles 



Editor: I have just received and 
read the September 1983 BAM with 
the "new look." 

You have managed to exchange the 
distinctiveness of the style of our cher- 
ished alumni magazine for a drabness 
characteristic of such thrillers as US 
Xeivs and World Report. Newsweek, and 
Time. 

From the moment I looked at the 
cover, I knew something was amiss. 
Please bring back unjustified margins! 

JACK CHOMSKS' '77 

Columbus, Ohio 

Editor: Why the search for a new 
format? I cannot imagine. 

Over the years I ha\e been particu- 
larly satisfied with the old one. The 
ragged right gave the BAM a sense of 
openness and liveliness which I think 
in many ways reflected the atmosphere 
of Brown. 

I hope you are not irre\ocabl\ 
committed.

LINDEKTHE ELMS 




Five students are now living in the Urban Environmental Laboratory on Angell Street.

The UEL: A house 
that is more 
than a home 

For most urlMn dwellers, the sound 
of shattering glass at midnight brings a 
clutch of fear to the heart. But for 
Harold Ward, the director of Brown's 
Center for Environmental Studies, the 
noise of an empty soda bottle hitting 
the inside of a dimipster brings a smile 
to his lips. "I've learned to love the 
tinkle of glass," he says sincerely. He is 
referring to the newly-opened Urban 
Environmental Laboratory's ijLiss recy- 
cling bin — one of ihe man\ environ- 
mentally-conscious feature-^ of the 



house on .Angell Street. 

After a year of delays — fiscal and 
physical — the UEL (BAM, November 
1982) is operating and occupied by 
five students. The project was origi- 
nalh finided with a grant horn the 
Richard King Mellon Foinidation, but 
construction t(}ok longer than was 
planned, and the project cost more 
than expected. "Then Richard King 
Mellon came through with a second 
grant," Ward explains. "Part of the 
problem is that what we were doing is 
complicated. It's difficult to make 
everything fit together within the 
confines of an existing shell [the for- 
mer Lucian Sharpe Carriage House]. 
Also, with students learning how to do 



the construction, it clearU took more 
time, although it didn't take more 
money. I think it's a good trade 
though — $90,000 went into student aid 
instead of into the contractor's 
pocket." 

Ward believes the fact that students 
pla\ed an integral role in building the 
L'EL "has led to a different feel about 
the place. The building has a 'nice feel' 
to it — the walls aren't cold. We do our 
own custodial work — it's shared with 
everyone who works here, so it makes 
us all more conscious of taking care of 
the building." 

The house is so tightly insulated 
that the inhabitants can't use cleansers 
with heaw odors because the odors 



I 



linger. And they had to take care in 
choosing construction boards and fab- 
rics for upholstery to ensure that they 
were not made with formaldehyde. 
The noise le\el in the building is a 
low, soothing hum — another result of 
the tight insulation — that is almost re- 
laxing. "The nice feel may ha\e some- 
thing to do with the noise level." Ward 
explains, "or it inay be that I am reso- 
nating with the building." 

The five students who are living in 
the UEL were chosen after advertise- 
ments were posted for jobs with re- 
sponsibilities for different parts of the 
UEL. Onlv one of the residents is con- 
centiating in environmental studies; 
the others are concentrating in biolo- 
gy/geology, religious studies, physics, 
and one undeclared. One student is 
responsible for the greenhouse, work- 
ing with the staff person, helping to 
tend the seasonal crops. Another will 
be in charge of "measuring things, 
running the microcomputers," accord- 
ing to Ward. "Every room in the build- 
ing is wired, and we keep track of the 
temperature, himiidity, and solar in- 
tensity." 

A third job is to oversee the recy- 
cling and composting. It's been two 
years since the campus had a glass re- 
cvcling bin, and Ward savs he hopes 
eventiiallv to be able to recycle alumi- 
num and paper. The bin is "used at all 
hours of the day. The other night 1 
heard glass, and I looked out to see a 
man in a nice suit, calmly emptying his 
briefcase of emptv bottles." 

A fourth job is in construction 
— there is a woodshop in the base- 
ment, where a student helps build ex- 
hibits. The fifth student works in pub- 
lic information, helping people see 
what the UEL is all about. 

Waid says that some projects were 
not built into the house from the onset 
so that there would be some things left 
to do later. Eventiiallv the L'EL will be 
recycling graywater (from washing 
machines) into the greenhouse, and it 
will have composting toilets — the kind 
that recvcle a household's organic 
waste instead of pimiping it into an 



ocean or bav. The Corporation has 
approved a garden that will replace a 
parking lot currently facing .\ngell 
Street. Ward says there will be approx- 
imately fourteen beds, and that people 
interested in doing some "serious ex- 
perimenting with organic gardening 
can come in and do it here, as long as 
the\ make reports to the UEL on their 
progress. We will probablv have some 
vandalism of the garden — you have to 
expect thai with urban gardens, but it 
will be well-lit. We may have one plot 
with a sign saying 'if you have to steal, 
take it from here.' Permaculture 
— fruits, nuts, and berries — will ring 
the garden, and annuals will be in the 
center." Ward says that dwarf fruit 
trees also are planned for a different 
part of the lot. 

One of the lab's purposes is to 
share energv-saving ideas and experi- 
ences with the community, and it does 
this with an open house every Satur- 
day at 2 p.m. The UEL also provides 
classroom space for meetings, and 
hopes eventualh to be a clearing-house 
for environmental cjuestions and con- 
cerns. K.H. 



George Kennan: 
Memories of Moscow 
and Washington 

Diplomat and scholar George Ken- 
nan probabh knows more about 
U.S. -Soviet relations than any living 
American. He came to Brown on No- 
vember 17 — the fiftieth anniversary, to 
the day, of the resumption of diplo- 
matic relations with the Soviet Un- 
ion — to talk about those fifty vears. In 
the process, as the Broum Daily Herald 
put it, he "mesmerized " his audience. 

Kennan began his address bv telling 
his listeners, who filled Alumnae Hall 
— dozens of others listened in Woolley 
Lounge and the Gate — that he had 
decided not to deliver a scholarly as- 
sessment of present-day U.S.-U.S.S.R. 
relations. Rather, he took his audience 
back to the Moscow of 1933, and in a 
verv personal, himnorous. and anec- 
dote-filled address, talked about those 
times and the twentv years that fol- 
lowed before he was expelled from the 
Soviet Union in 1952 by Josef Stalin. 

In 1932, Kennan was a young For- 
eign Service officer in the American 
legation in Riga, Latvia, assigned to 
studv the Soviet Union — the study 
confined to reading newspapers and 
official Russian propaganda. In 1933, 
when President Franklin Roosevelt 



decided to resume diplomatic rela- 
tions, Kennan was asked to accompany 
the new American ambassador. Wil- 
liain C. Bullitt, to Moscow. In one of 
his anecdotes, Kennan recalled the 
train ride across Europe. During a 
stop in Poland, he said, the Soviet 
commissar of foreign affairs. Maxim 
Litvinov, who was accompanving them, 
confided to Kennan on the train plat- 
form that this was his home town and 
he had never wanted to be diplomat, 
but rather a librarian. 

This incident, Kennan continued, 
made him realize that "these Soviet 
Cominunists with whom we will now 
have to deal are flesh and blood peo- 
ple like omselves, inisguided if you 
will, but no more guiltv than we of the 
circumstances in which thev were 
born. Thev. like omselves, are simpiv 
trying to make the best of it." 

Ambassador Bullitt resigned in 1936. 
His successor, Joseph Davies — unnamed 
by Kennan — was, in Kennan's words, 
"totally unfit for the job. " He had been 
a large contributor to Roosevelt's cam- 
paign and the President felt obliged to 
give him a government assignment. 
Finallv, Roosevelt was reported to have 
said, "Send him to Russia." Stalin had, 
by this time, begun his terror campaigns, 
and Kennan recalled going to one of the 
great purge trials with Davies. The am- 
bassador was so ignorant of the true sit- 
uation that he thought those on trial 
were guilty. 

Kennan recalled standing on a 
Moscow boulevard in Julv 1944 watch- 
ing German prisoners being paraded 
through the city: "It was a cruel spec- 
tacle. In a great war like this, the pop- 
ulations are all victims alike." 

He then shifted the scene to Mav 
1945 and the end of the war. Millions 
of Russians gathered in the streets of 
Moscow to celebrate and, to the con- 
sternation of Soviet officials, they moved 
to the front of the American embassy. 
Kennan, then temporarilv in charge, ad- 
dressed a few words to the crowd in Rus- 
sian, "congratulating them on the 
common dav of victory." It was the first 
time "a bourgeois representative had 
been publiciv cheered bv a Soviet 
crowd." Stalin was outraged, taking the 
scene as a personal insult. 'I knew that 
he would some day get his revenge. " 

In 1946, Kennan sent a 15, (100- 
word telegram to Washington outlin- 
ing his views on postwar policy toward 
the Soviet Union. The next year, his ar- 
ticle, "The Sources of Soviet Conduct," 
which appeared in the quarterly, Foreign 
Affairs, and written under the pseu- 
donvm of "Mr. X," attracted wide atten- 



lion aiul became the basis for what 
became known as the ■'containment" 
policN . This was tlie "tirst time," Kennari 
said, that he was on the "same wave- 
length with olhcial W.ishington." After 
the war, lie tame baci< to the United 
States to head tiie Polic\ Planning Staff 
of the State Depaitmeni. 

.\lthoiigh containment was ofhcial 
poliiN, Kennan thought American 
if.ulers ucre fai more concerned with 
militarx solutions and not interested 
enough in economic and political solu- 
tions to postwar problems. Kennan 
supported the Marshall Plan, but op- 
posed NATO. He was paiticularh 
concerned about rearming West Ger- 
many, and in fact, wrote a policy pa- 
per proposing essentially a neutral 
German\. Since the Russians have his- 
toricallv feared German\, had that 
countrv not been rearmed, Kennan 
theorized, the course of relations be- 
tween the West and the So\iets might 
well have been different. 

In 1952, President Truman asked 
him to return to Moscow, this time as 
ambassador. It was a time of tension 
between the two countries, Kennan 
said, "much like todav. The American 
embass\ was isolated from the Soviet 
people." Later, while Kennan was back 
in the United States, Stalin got his re- 
venge: He declared Kennan persona 
non grata. 

Kennan then retired from the For- 
eign Service, btit was recalled bv Presi- 
dent Kennedv in 1961 to become 
ambassador to Yugoslavia. He retired 
again in 1963, became a professor at the 
Institute for Advanced Studies in 
Princeton, and, since 1975, has also 
served as chairman of academic studies 
of the Woodrow Wilson Center's Ken- 
nan Institute for Advanced Russian 
Studies in Washington. 

During a lively question period fol- 
lowing his address, Kennan was asked 
if there have been signihcant missed 
opportunities to impro\e .'\merican- 
Soviet relations. He mentioned two: 
right after World War II, when West- 
ern Europe was recovering under the 
Marshall Plan and before the West felt 
it was necessary to establish the NATO 
.Alliance; and the past few months. 
"Yuri Andropov, whatever his past 
career, has spoken most soberly and 
sensibly, more than his predecessors, " 
about improving relations. "I think it is 
tragic than we have chosen not to talk 
to them at all." 

In answer to another person, asking 
who was the most impressi\e Soviet 
leader he had dealt with, Kennan re- 
plied without hesitation: "S'alin. He

was a man of incredible iniquity and 
enormous intelligence, an extraordi- 
nary character, a strange man, a loner, 
a schemer, vengeful, cruel, terrible, 
without conscience, but extremely 
able." 

Another questioner asked what 
could be done to improve relations. 
"End the dreadful competition in nu- 
clear weapons, " Kennan replied. 
"Nuclear weapons cannot be useful. 
Weapons are something that could 
influence other countries. Nuclear 
weapons cannot do that. Their danger 
is the weapon itself." 

Before his address, which was spon- 
sored by the World Affairs Council of 
Rhode Island, the Center for Foreign 
Policy Development and the Council 
for International Studies at Brown, 
and the Rhode Island Committee for 
the Humanities, Kennan was awarded 
an honorary doctor of laws degree by 
President Swearer. He was assisted by 
Thomas J. Watson, Jr. '37, vice chan- 
cellor of the Brown Corporation and 
ambassador to Moscow during the 
Carter Administration. 

Watson, in introducing Kennan, 
recalled that before he left f^or Moscow 
to head the American embass\, he 
went to Princeton, where Kenn.m lives.

The Corporation 

decides 

not to act on ROTC 

The issue of ROTC may be shelved 
at Brown for an indefinite period of 
time. On December 6, the faculty 
voted to ask the Corporation not to 
negotiate with the Navy for the return 
of ROTC. Three da\s later, the .Advi- 
sory and Executive Committee of the 
Corporation decided not to act on the 
matter at this time. 

The statement issued by the A & E 
committee read: "The A & E Commit- 
tee discussed ROTC and decided not 
to take action at this time pending fur- 
ther study and reflection. In the 
course of the discussion, the A & E 
Committee expressed concern about 
the process bv which the views of the 
faculty (which the Corporation had 
requested) were made known." 

According to Robert A. Reichley, 
vice president for University relations, 
"the general attitude among the trus- 
tees was that thev just weren't ready to 
decide. The\ took no vote, and made 



no decision with respect to when the 
issue would come up and how. They 
decided thev needed time to reflect. 
This has been an issue on campus for 
two years, it had good visibiHlv, and 
there was a lot of discussion about it." 

Two vears ago the Corporation 
asked the administration to look into 
the feasibility of leinstituting the Re- 
serve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) 
on campus. The Corporation 
specifically asked that the faculty be 
consulted. 

The faculty vote, 91 to 38, repre- 
sented the views of about one-sixth of 
the faculty. A questionnaire on ROTC, 
which was sent to the faculty in No- 
vember, was returned h\ more than 
half of the faculty (391 out of 775 pos- 
sible respondents as of the December 6 
facultv meeting). 

The facultv survey asked a general 
opinion question on whether the re- 
spondent was opposed to having 
ROTC return to campus (35.5 per- 
cent); would accept ROTC only if the 
1969 guidelines were conformed to 
(37.9 percent); or would accept ROTC 
without requiring it to conform to 
those stipulations (2(i.6 percent). These 
statistics may he interpreted so that 
they satisfy people on both sides of the 
fence. Since the 1969 guidelines are 
diametrically opposed to relevant fed- 
eral regulations regarding ROTC (for 
example, according to federal regula- 
tions, no unit may be established at a 
university unless the senior commis- 
sioned officer is given the academic 
rank of professor), it can be said that 
those who answered that they were 
opposed, or opposed luiless the "69 
guidelines were adhered to (a total of 
73.4 percent), were a clear majority. 
Opponents of ROTC argued at the 
faculty meeting that many people who 
were opposed to ROTC nonetheless 
voted to accept it onh if the '69 guide- 
lines were observed. On the other 
hand, those who would entertain the 
idea of deterniiuing if the Navv would 
be willing to conform to the '69 guide- 
lines, and those who would like ROTC 
back without stipulation, total 64.5 
percent — again, a definite majority. 

The fact that the results of the 
questionnaire and the facultv vote 
seem to reflect different opinions 
caused some concern among the trus- 
tees. "The tiiistees were genuinelv 
puzzled that they asked for the facultv 
view and got back two very different 
messages," says Reichley. ■The\ came 
away wondering what the facultv view 
is, and who speaks for the facultv. 

The faculty sur\ey was requested b\ 



Chancellor Richard Salomon '32, who 
said, "The Corporation supports the 
19(i9 facultv guidelines, but we want to 
hear more directly in some form of 
fair sampling where the facultv really 
stands on this issue, rather than leave 
it to those feeling violently on one side 
or the other of the issue." At its Octo- 
ber 15 meeting, the Corporation 
passed two other resolutions relating 
to the ROTC issue. One resolution 
urged the Chancellor to establish an ad 
hu( committee of Corporation mem- 
bers to work with the Facultv Policv 
Group to facilitate the gathering of 
facultv opinions. The other resolution 
expressed the Corporation's support 
for the guidelines on ROTC programs 
voted by the faculty in 1969 and 
reaffirmed by the facultv in May 1982. 
"In particular, the Corporation ex- 
presses its desire that no anangements 
be contemplated with any outside 
training piogtam which either 1) make 
anvone instructing in or directing such 
a program thereby a regular member 
of the Brown faculty; or 2) make any 
course in such a program eligible for 
Brown credit iniless that course has 
gone through the regularly approved 
process, including approval by the 
Educational Polic\ Ciomniittee. " 

An open hearing in the form of a 
facult\ forum was held in mid-Octo- 
Ijer, as the result of an interim report 
to President Swearer from the Advi- 
sory Committee on NROTC Program. 
The committee was formed last spring 
and charged bv Sweater to heed two 
faculty resolutions of May 1982: One, a 
resolution that reaffirmed the seven 
criteria established in 1969 for the ex- 
istence of ROTC on campus, and two, 
a request that the conmiittee report on 
whether there existed NROTC pro- 
grams compatible with those criteria. 
The committee met with a representa- 
tive from the office of the assistant 
secretarv of the Navy and a facultv li- 
aison with the NROTC piogram at 
MIT and wrote to representatives of 
five other universities that had pro- 
grams currently operating (Cornell, 
the University of Wisconsin at Madi- 
son, the University of Pennsylvania, 
the University of Michigan at Ann 
Arbor, and the University of Califor- 
nia at Berkeley). 

The meetings and reports from 
other universities confirmed that other 
NROTC programs were in some re- 
spects compatible with Brown's stated 
criteria, but differences between 
Brown and the other universities made 
it impossible to compare how those 
programs would suit Brown's needs. 



The conditions necessary to reinstitute 
the program at Brown can't be negoti- 
ated until the University actuallv ap- 
plies for a contract. 

The questionnaire asked for rea- 
sons that the respondents were op- 
posed to or su|)portive of having 
ROTC return. The reasons listed most 
frequently against ROTC were: The 
continuing presence of ROTC on 
campus threatens the autonomy of the 
University inasmuch as it is an organi- 
zation not under University control 
(31.7 percent); bringing ROTC back to 
campus would imply support for the 
military posture of the Reagan admin- 
istration (30.7 percent); and the pres- 
ence of ROTC on campus would sup- 
port militarism (28.6 percent). The 
reasons listed most frequently in favor 
of having an ROTC unit on campus 
were: We will get better military 
officers if they have access to a liberal 
education such as Brown can provide 
(53.2 percent); the presence of an 
ROTC program on campus would give 
students the freedom to choose 
whether or not they want to partici- 
pate in it (45.3 percent); and the pres- 
ence of an ROTC unit would increase 
the diversity of the student bodv by 
providing an additional source of 
financial aid (35.5 percent). 

According to Reichley, the trustees 
gave no indication as to how the 
ROTC issue will be raised again, or, 
indeed, if ii will. The A & E Committee 
meets again in January; the full Cor- 
poration in February. K.H. 

The boob tube 
comes of age 

We all complain vociferously about 
it, but we are all seduced by its deba- 
table charms: the television. We rush 
to that fat little box during national 
emergencies, cozv up to it on Saturday 
nights, and snap it on just to make 
noise in the evenings. I5ul tele\ision 
has yet to be taketi seriouslv as a topic 
of research. David Marc, a lecturer 
and executive secretary of the Ameri- 
can Civilization department, may 
change the fact that TV "don't get no 
respect," with (he publication of his 
book, Denuigrapliic Vistas: Television in 
American Cnlture. 

"The chilling fact," he writes, "is 
that the most effective pur\eyor of 
language, image, and narrative in 
American culture has failed to become 
a subject of livelv humanistic discourse. 
It is laughed at. leviled, feared, and 
generallv treated as persona non grata 



23 



In imiversit\ humanities departments 
and the serious' journals the\ patron- 
ize." 

The title of Man's hook is a plav on 
words, referring lo Walt Whitman's 
Denwcralic Vislas, in which Whitman 
talked about the role of popular cultui e 
in democracy. "If people are going to 
vote, theie has lo be a medium by which 
ideas are disseminated, " says Marc. 
"Democracv would be a shain if people 
couldn't participate in the culture. Whit- 
man thought that we had an opportunity 
to produce a culture of great artists. I 
tried to show in the book what we got 
instead, and it's sort of an ironic ful- 
tillment of what Whitman had fore- 
seen." 

What Marc has shown in the book 
is that we are a culture ruled by de- 
mograph\- rather than democracy 
when it comes to television. "Democ- 
racv literally means 'the rule of the 
people," whereas demography means a 
picture of the people. Instead of the 
people determining their future, we 
have an elite group who paints a pic- 
ture of the people and decides what 
thev want. People are always saying of 
television, 'No one ever asks me what I 
watch on TV." The answer is, we don't 
have to know what you watch, because 
we have a sampling of people [i.e. 
Nielsen families], and in it, we have 
someone just like you and we know 
what they watch." 

The infamous Nielsen ratings are a 
"closed game, " according to Marc. "It's 
self-fulfilling prophecy at work. Niel- 



sen can't be wrong. Ad agencies 
couldn't exist without them, TV billing 
departments wouldn't know how to bill 
their advertisers, and advertisers them- 
selves would be struggling. If the sales 
[of a highly-rated show] don't go up, 
no one ever says the ratings are 
wrong — they claim something is wrong 
with the product." 

What kind of culture is created 
when the "primary purveyor of lan- 
guage, image, and narrative" is deter- 
mined by a select group of 1,200? 
That is the question that intrigues 
Marc. He believes that there is no 
denying the impact of television on 
society. "If you took a survey on this 
college campus and asked who was the 
author of Ulysses, you would get hun- 
dreds of correct responses. If you then 
asked who wrote, diiected, and pro- 
duced The Beverh Hillbillies, very few 
people would know. But how many of 
the respondents have actually read 
Ulysses, and how many have seen an 
episode of Beverly Hillbillies? 

"I think works such as Hillbillies 
should be taken seriously in the evolu- 
tion of American storytelling. Beverly 
Hillbillies contains inany myths and 
humor of Southern culture. Paul 
Henning, who created the show, is 
from the Missouri Ozarks and many of 
the characters are based on his child- 
hood memories. What we see on shows 
like that is not necessarily an incorrect 
image of our society. " 

It mav be hard to accept that any of 
the drivel passing for television pro- 



David Marc: Taking The Beverly Hillbillies seriously. 




gramming these days has much to do 
with our cultuie, and that could be 
because television shows seem to 
spring from nowhere. "I think there 
are several reasons that television 
seems so anonymous, " explains Marc. 
"It was born in the McC^arthy era, and 
there were a lot of 'left-wing' ideas in 
shows. The people involved didn't 
want to be identified, so they made up 
a lot of diffuse titles for their respon- 
sibilities — associate art director, things 
like that. Gradually it became tradi- 
tion. Shows would come and go, and 
people decided it was better to keep a 
low profile than take the chance of 
plastering their names all over the 
place." 

This desire for anonymity is chang- 
ing, and Marc ascribes the change to a 
sense of maturity in the industry. He 
has adopted the term "auterism" for 
the one person who takes responsibil- 
ity for a television show — the Norman 
Lears, the Stephen Bochcos, the Paul 
Hennings — the person who brings his 
vision, his art for storytelling to an in- 
dividual show. It is through these people 
that the legends and language of the cul- 
ture are disseminated. 

There are other things about televi- 
sion that are changing. "People have 
the sense that television as we have 
come to know it is ending," Marc says. 
"Television is evolving from a mass 
medium into a class medium. In a 
mass medium, an item offered as cul- 
ture is available to everyone. The idea 
is to sell as many as possible. With TV 
shows, all the producers [used to] care 
about was how many people were 
watching. That's beginning to change. 
Now certain groups of people 
[watching certain shows] are targeted 
by sponsors. 

"Take Mercedes Benz, for example. 
They would never sponsor regular tel- 
evision shows because they figured 
why pay for advertising for people 
who can't buy their product? But for 
the first time, they are sponsoring Hill 
Street Blues on a regular basis. That 
show has a whole set of values keyed 
to a 'more educated, more affluent' 
group, and a sponsor like Mercedes 
Benz will buy into it." And a cycle is 
created whereby the group itself de- 
termines the content of the show. 

Marc says this phenomenon — the 
creation of a "class" mediuin — has 
been brought on by the onset of cable 
programming. "When there were only 
three inajor networks, there was the 
possibility that we were all watching 
the same thing. That's no longer true." 

Marc believes the change in televi- 



Hammer's Daumier 
Collection on campus 

New England had an unprece- 
dented opportunity to view one of 
tiie world's most extensive private 
collections of works by nineteenth- 
century French artist Honore Dau- 
mier in a special exhibition this fall 
in the Bell Gallery. 

More than 200 works from the 
Armand Hammer Collection were 
on displav, including the litho- 
graphs for which Daumier is best- 
known, as well as rarelv seen paint- 
ings, drawings, sculptures, etchings, 
and wood engravings. Daumier was 
known primarily for his biting polit- 
ical cartoons and caricatures of the 
legal, theatrical, and artistic worlds, 
but he was also a sculptor and 
painter whose paintings aie now 
seen as anticipating the work of 
Picasso, Matisse, and French and 
German expressionists. 

The exhibit's opening included a 
demonstration of the Hthographic 
printing process Daumier used. 
Armand Hammer (above, right), 
chairman of the board of the Occi- 
dental Petroleum Corporation, was 
presented with the first and onlv 
lithographic copy of a Daumier 
print by Professor of Art Richard 
Fishman (above, left). The print was 
reproduced by Brown art faculty 
and students. 

The exhibit was made possible 
by the Armand Hammer Founda- 
tion and the Occidental Petioleum 
Corporation. 




sion is paralleled in American social 
history when the movie studio system 
collapsed in the fifties as a result of 
television coming into vogue. People 
were given more choices — they became 
more selective about the movies they 
went to see once they had television in 
their living rooms — and the studio sys- 
tem eventually broke down. "Then we 
saw the rise of American film studies 
at our colleges and universities, just as 
now we are going to see the beginning 
of television studies. 

"Television is a strong reflection of 
the official ideology of the country, 
although it's slow to reflect the culture 
due to the fact that it's under corpo- 
rate censorship. Look at Jack Webb's 
productions — they first were popular 
in the early fifties during the McCar- 
thy era, then they came back with hip- 



pies and Richard Nixon. The early 
Dragnet shows in the fifties tell you a 
lot about the era — there is a lot of par- 
anoia reflected in those shows. " 

Marc says that All in the Family is a 
good example of a show that reflected 
the ideology of the period — a few- 
years late. "All in the Family was 
definitely a show of the sixties, taking 
on subjects like the generation gap, 
civil rights, women's liberation; yet it 
never played in the sixties. It didn't 
debut until the early seventies." 

The death of Westerns on televi- 
sion. Marc believes, was a result of the 
way people stopped seeing things in 
absolutes in the mid-70s. "The West- 
erns became untenable because they 
represent good versus evil in such 
black and white terms. The distinctions 
became bhnred in the seventies." And 



he believes that the death of the vari- 
ety show was due to "mass-stereo-iza- 
tion" of the sixties and seventies. 
"People invested in such high-powered 
stereo equipment, that they were no 
longer interested in listening to music 
from the tiny speakers in their 
television sets." 

Marc says one of the advantages of 
teaching television studies is that his 
students coirie to him with "a lifetime 
of preparation. It's like an English 
teacher's dream. I can mention the 
most obscure television show and some- 
one will recognize it. There is a real 
difference when I am teaching the 
works of William Faulkner and when I 
am talking about the effects of televi- 
sion on societv. A student will write 
about Faulkner and concentrate on 
imderstanding the plot of Absalom, 



Ahsuhim. Bill CMMVone llimks ihcy 
know evervtliiiig aboiii television. 
F.veivone has a viewpoiiii that they can 
express witli lonvictioii. Mv students 
laii write with so iiiiiih nioie con- 
hilenie ami expiessioii when tliey are 
urilini; about television. 

•■| i)eiieve tiiat il' we are going lo he 
serious about teaching writing, il niiglii 
be helpful if we used tele\ision shows 
in the early part of a writing course 
— gel the students to review and criti- 
cize the show as a way of getting them 
to start writing. That's one good thing 
about telexision — it doesn't contain the 
t\rann\ of cullure with a capital K. " 

One of the easiest things to sav 
about television is that it is junk. Marc 
looks at the larger picture. 

"Television is like literature and 
painting. Beneath all of the rhetoric 
people can still sav, i like this show 
l)etter than that.' The integrity of the 
indi\idual sur\i\es the rhetoric. Tele- 
\ision belongs in the realm of the 
humanities because humanists are best 
trained to understand the meaning of 
stories. I fear for the future of human- 
ities if television continues to be ig- 
nored. We need to pav attention to the 
stories most widelv disseminated in our 
culture, because mvths are carried in 
the stories. 

"I'm not saving television has done 
a great job, but it has hlled our culture 
with ghosts and images. To throw this 
stuff away [shows such as The Dukes of 
Hazzard, The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat 
Junction] and label it as beneath con- 
tempt, well, we might just as well 
throw away cave drawings or early pot- 
terv. Television is rich and fecund with 
svmbolism."

John Anderson resigns: 
'Time for someone else' 

The news came suddenlv, on the 
Monda\ afternoon after Brown's 
unexpected — and decisive — victorv 
over Dartmouth. John .Anderson, who. 
in his eleven years as Brown's head 
football coach, had become the third- 
winningest coach in the Bruins' his- 
torv, had submitted his resignation 
that morning to .Athletic Director John 
Parry. Yet, while the announcement 
came suddenlv, it appaientiv had been 
on the coach's mind for some time. 
And while it was a surprise to almost 
everyone, it is also true that there ha\e 
been rumblings of discontent about 
the football record the past three 
vears — and the way Brown lost some 
of its games. 

It is ironic that John .Anderson's 
wimiing years at Blown ultimalelv 
worked against him. Athletic Director 
Parry alluded to that in his statement 
announcing the coach's resignation: 
"Brown University will always be in- 
debted to |ohn Anderson for what he 
has accomplished for Brown football. 
He personally raised Brown's level of 
excellence and Brown's expectations of 
excellence on the football held. Hiv 
hard work and positi\e attitude en- 
abled Brown to be a title contendei 
throughout his tenure. I hope John 
will alvvavs be a part of Brown. " 

John Anderson's positi\e attitude 
has been on \iew since his hrst piess 
conference after being appointed in 
December 1972 bv then-.Athletic Direc- 
tor Andy Cleiger. "We're going to have 
a winner at Brown," he told the as- 
sembled media types. "There's abso- 
lutely no doubt in mv mind about that. 
If I didn't think I could get the job 
done, I would ha\e stayed at Middle- 
bur\," a school that had won onl\ 
eleven games in the Hve years prior to 
his arrixal. In four years there, his 
teams had compiled 2-6, 5-3, 6-2, and 
8-0 records. He clearly was ready for 
another challenge. 

Brown pro\ided that. In 1971 and 




1972, the Biiiins had lost eighteen of 
nineteen games, the one win coming in 
the rain against Penn when the Quak- 
ers kept turning the ball over inside 
their own 20. So when Anderson told 
that hrst press conference that he ex- 
pected to win and to win in 1973, 
theie were some knowing looks on the 
reporters" faces. 

But win he did. laking the material 
he inherited and adding a good 
freshman team, he led the Bruins to a 
4-3-1 record in 1973, including a thiill- 
ing, come-fn)m-17-points-behind 34-25 




A happy Anderson walks off the field after 

win over Yale and an equally exciting 
35-32 loss to Harvard. In 1974, the 
Bruins lost four of their first five, but 
rallied to win the final four games, in- 
cluding a win over Harvard on re- 
gional TV, to finish 5-4. Both years, 
they were 4-3 in the Ivy League. In 
1975, Brown was 5-1-1 in the league (a 
45-26 loss to Harvard and a 10-10 tie 
with Dartmouth) and 6-2-1 overall. 

Anderson's finest moments at 
Brown came the next year. The Bruins 
were 8-1, and their 6-1 league record 
brought them a tie (with Vale) for the 



his final game as the Bruins' coach. 

Ivv championship, Brown's only Ivy 
football championship. The onh loss 
was to Penn, 7-6, in a rainstorm in 
Piovidence. The Quakers" touchdown 
came late in the game when they got 
the ball on a controversial call by an 
official who ruled Brown lost the ball 
on a fumbled punt return. 

The team dropped to 7-2 (5-2 in 
the league) in 1977 and then went 6-3 
(5-2), 6-3 (5-2), 6-4 (4-3), 3-7 (2-5), 5-5 
(3-4), and 4-5-1 (4-2-1) this year. 
Overall Anderson was 60-39-3 and in 
the league. 47-28-2. 



After his decision was announced, 
Anderson told the Providence fuurnal: 
"We've had the best overall record in 
the league the last ten years, but I'm 
disappointed we didn't do better. I'm 
disappointed we ne\er won the [Ivv] 
title outright. And I'ln disappointed 
with the last few years." 

Asked about the increasing rum- 
blings over the past three years and 
the rumors that he might be replaced, 
Anderson said, "I was not told to re- 
sign. I was not told I had to give up 
coaching football at Brown University.

\<>l at all. It was a dei isioii I iiiaik-. I 
tliiiik I'm- gottfii a tail sliakt- lioic. I've 
had flf\tii great \eais. 1 lia\e no 
(|iialms at all with llie L'iii\eisitv. I've 
heeii thinking ahont this loi some 
time. 1 had a talk a veai and a hall ago 
with my wife. Mv son. Siott, said, "No,

The coacii el.ihoialed lot the Xeir 
)i)ik Timi-\: "Hie last couple of years 
have heen tot. illy frustrating ... E\ery- 
one expects von to win all the time, 
.nid we just can't do it. It's heen get- 
ting to nie, like a monkey on mv back. 
I'm the head coach, so I'm willing to 
take the blame. But I now think it 
would be better to let someone else do 
the job." He also mentioned the in- 
creasing dilficultv in recruiting high- 
(|ualit\ athletes because of the high 
academic standards and the rising 
costs of tuition, a problem faced, of 
course, b\ all Ivy coaches. 

Anderson's assistants and the pla\- 
ers reacted with surprise at his resigna- 
tion, although several said they could 
see it coming. Assistant Coach Mike 
Goldbergei, who plaved for .'\nderson 
at Middlebuiv and has been an assis- 
tant at Brown since f973, said, "It took 
me completelv by surprise. I think it 
did everybody." After the team meet- 
ing at which Anderson announced his 
decision, defensive end Clhuck Brawley 
'84 told the journal: "It was sad. You 
could tell he was sad. I think [the res- 
ignation] was inevitable. He was disap- 
pointed, and so were we. Whatevei the 
cause, it was time for a change, and I 
think he made the right decision." 
Co-captain John Daniel '84 said, "For 
him it wasn't fun" anymore, and co- 
captain Joe Potter '84 added, "He's 
been under a lot of pressuie to do it, I 
guess, and the last couple of seasons 
have been disappointing. I guess it was 
time for a change, and C^oach Ander- 
son knew it. " 

If the resignation was ine\itable, the 
game with Harvard on October 29 
may have been what made it so. 
Brown was stilt in the Ivy title race, 
and, indeed, as the season turned out, 
had the Bruins defeated Harvard, 
they, not Harvard, would have shared 
the Ivy title with Penn. But Brown 
plaved poorly — in fact, both teams 
played as poorly in the first half as one 
could imagine. And when Harvard 
scored in the last minute to turn what 
appeared to be a tie into a loss, the 
rumblings got distinctly louder. 

.\fter .Anderson's resignation, .Ath- 
letic Director Parry immediately ap- 
pointed a search committee composed 
of the co-captains, L'niversitv adminis- 



trators, faculty, and alumni. He hoped 
to name a coach by mid-December. 

■ Viiderson has been offered an ad- 
ministrative position in the athletic 
dejiartment for next year, but he has 
not vet made up his mind about the 
future. After the win over (Columbia in 
his final game, he said he was going 
home and "watch pro football the next 
day for the first time this season. And 
I'm going to celebrate my fjirthday at 
home for the first time in vears."

Fall roundup 



In the so-called "mismatch of the 
centiny," the Brown football team 
traveled to State College, Peinisylvania, 
on November 5 to o|)pose college 
football's defending national cham- 
pion. And while the Bruins lost to 
Penn State, 1^8-21, they were not eaten 
alive or even embarrassed by the Nit- 
tany Lions in front of the 75,000 spec- 
tators in Beaver Stadium. 

Led by sophomore taifback Jamie 
Potkul, Brown rushed for 304 yards 
and gained 410 yards in total of- 
fense — only fourteen less than Penn 
State. The Bruins ran 81 plays to Penn 
State's 63. Ihev came up with 22 first 
downs, while Penn State made 1(3. 

On defense, Bob Chiaradio '84 and 
Greg Hausler '85 intercepted passes in 
the second cjuarter, and linebacker Pat 
McCormack '8(i recovered a tumble. 
At the half. Blown was cfown by only 
10 points, and the Bruins remained 
troublesome enough to keep Penn 
State's first string on the field through 
the third quarter. 

Chris Ingerslev '86 kicked field 
goals of 27, 22, 29, and 33 yards as the 
Bruins defeated league-leading Dart- 
mouth on November 12 in Hanoxer. 
The resounding 25-7 win made Brown 
look like a cham[)ionship tootlsall 
team — one that had been sleepwalking 
thiough most of the season and had 
decided to "snap out of it" only when 
eliminated from the Ivy race. 

Besides Ingerslev, offensive heroes 
included fullback Ste\e Hetfernan '85, 
who gained f27 yards, and cjuarter- 
back Joe Potter '84, who completed 10 
of 20 passes for 159 yards and who 
ran for 77 yards. ""Everybody made a 
contribution," co-captain John Daniel 
'84 told the Providence Journal after the 
game. "Now they can't say Penn State 
was a fluke." This was Brown's first 
victory over the Big Green in five 
years. 

In John Anderson's last game as 
head coach, the Bruins held off a 



remarkable, last-minute (Columbia rally 
to win, 42-3(). Parts of the fourth cjuar- 
tei weie hard to believe, e\en lor Ivy 
football fans who thought they'd seen 
everything. 

In a span ol about lour minutes, 
Columbia recovered three straight on- 
side kicks, and scored four touch- 
downs — thanks to the tireless arm of 
(juarterback John Witkowski. Befcjie 
all of this damage was inflicted. Brown 
led by the ""safe " score of 42-7. With 
2:39 left to play, Columbia had closed 
the gap to 42-36 and was lining up for 
yet another onside kick. Fortunately 
for the Bruins, Chris Girard "86 cov- 
ered the ball, and Potter was able to 
complete a third-down pass and wrap 
up the win. 

Anderson, who announced his 
resignation on No\ ember 14, finished 
with a ()0-39-3 career mark at Brown. 
In his eleven years as head coach he 
ne\er lost to Columbia, and more 
important, he guided the Bruins to 
their first Ivy title (in 1976). 

Men's soccer ran up against two 
tough opponents in one week, losing 
to the L'ni\ersity of (Connecticut, 3-1, 
on November 2 and tying Pio\idence 
College, 3-3, four days later. 

Brow n failed to take ad\antage of a 
1-0 half time lead over visiting Con- 
necticut. Dave Coonin "85 scored 
Brown"s only goal in that game and 
kicked in all three against Provi- 
dence — giving him a total of eight for 
the year. 

On November 12. the Bruins tra\- 
eled to Hanover where it was snowing 
lightly, and where the soccer field was 
soaking wet. Dartmouth is used to 
such conditions, of course, and the Big 
Green plaved well enough to upset the 
Biiiins, 3-1. John Carioll "86 headed 
in Browns only goal. 

Still hoping for a piece of the Ivy 
title, the Bruins needed a win over 
(ioluinbia on November 18. The 
Lions, who are the only undefeated, 
untied Division I soccer team in the 
nation, destroyed Brown"s hopes with 
a 2-0 victory at Stevenson Fielcl. 

Leading 1-0 at the half, Columbia 
began to dominate the match, out- 
shooting the Bruins bv a wide margin 
and putting in an insurance goal. The 
Brown defense, led bv Ted Cioft '86, 
played well, but defense wasn't enough 
to end a winning soccer season on a 
\ictorious note. 

Women's soccer, having captured 
the Iv\ crown bv defeating Harvard 
on October 29, facecf Keene State in 
the first round of the NC.,\,A playoffs 
and knocked off the nation's ninth- 



ranked team, 1-0, on a first-half goal 
by forward Lynn Marinello '87. 

But the Bruins were eliminated in 
the quarterfinals when they dropped a 
1-0 decision to the University of Mas- 
sachusetts on November 13. The 
team's top scorers for 1983 were Mar- 
inello (with 1 1 goals and one assist) 
and Ellen Bopp '87 (with 10 goals and 
one assist). Goalie Alex Smith '84 
ended the season with a 1.10 goals- 
against average and an .865 save per- 
centage. 

Women's field hockey lost to the 
University of Connecticut, 3-0, in a 
home match on November 2. The 
team played its final game of the sea- 
son two days later at Penn State. In a 
preview of the next dav's varsity foot- 
ball contest, the Brown women played 
well but couldn't defeat the powerful 
Nittany Lions, losing, 2-1. as Sheila 
Terranova '85 scored their onlv goal. 

In the eight-team Universit\' of 
Rhode Island Invitational on October 
28, the women's volleyball team fell to 
Providence College, New York Tech, 
and New Haven College, but rallied to 
defeat the L'niversitv of New Hamp- 
shire. 

The Bruins traveled to the Univer- 
sity of Pennsvlvania to compete in the 
Ivy League Championships on No- 
vember 5 and ended their season by 
taking fourth place in the tournament, 
which was won bv the host team. 
Princeton finished second. 

Men's water polo traveled to Fort 
Lauderdale for the U.S. Indoor 
Championships on October 28 and 
finished in fourth place, defeating 
Texas AiirM, the Ann Arbor Water 
Polo Club, and Indiana University. 
The Olympic Club of San Francisco 
ended the team's longest winning 
streak ever (21 games) bv scoring a 
15-6 victory, and Brown also fell to the 
New York Athletic Club and Loyola 
University. 

At the New England Champion- 
ships held at Harvard on November 5, 
Brown took first place for the ninth 
straight year. Freshman Ken Rivers 
scored seven goals in the tournament 
as the Bruins defeated MIT, Colum- 
bia, and Harvard. Brown also won the 
Eastern Championships held at Navy 
on November 12, beating the Univer- 
sity of Massachusetts. Bucknell, and 
finally. Slippery Rock, which had upset 
Navy the night before. 

Seeded seventh in the NCAA 
Championships at Long Beach, Cali- 
fornia, on November 26, the Bruins 
finished one notch higher than ex- 
pected — their best showing ever. Goal- 



ie Lars Enstrom '86 excelled, as Brown 
lost to the University of Southern Cali- 
fornia, beat Loyola in overtime, and 
was defeated by UCLA in the final 
round. 

Winter sports begin 

Men's basketball opened the season 
on November 26 by defeating the 
University of New Hampshire, 92-84. 
Ira James '84, returning to the team 
after a year off. hit several key baskets 
in the second half and led the Bruins 
with 27 points. Todd Mulder '85 
pulled down 19 rebounds and scored 
on eight of nine shots to finish with 16 
points. This was the first opening-day 
victory for Brown basketball in nine- 
teen years. But the joy of victory was 
short-lived. 

Two days later. Providence College 
used some high-percentage outside 
shooting to defeat the Bruins in the 
Providence Civic Center. The Friars 
scored 24 unanswered points in the 
early part of the first period, and not 
surprisingly. Brown was unable to get 
back into the game. Freshman Kieron 
Bigby was the leading scorer for the 
Bruins with nine points. Final score: 
Providence 83, Brown 50. 

Paul Salem '85 scored in each of the 
first two men's hockey games this 
year, but Brown's overall output was 
disappointing and the Bruin defense 
allowed both Princeton and Army to 
score six times. After losing 6-3 to the 
Tigers in Princeton, the Bruins trav- 
eled to West Point. They outshot 
Army in the first period, but the Ca- 
dets scored once and soon increased 
their lead to 3-0. Salem's goal came in 
the final period as Brown lost. 6-1. 

Women's swimming opened its sea- 
son with a pair of very convincing vic- 
tories in the Midwest. On November 
19, the Bruins faced Kenyon College, 
beating the Ohioans, 98-30. Laurie 
Israel '86 won both the one-ineter and 
three-meter diving at Kenvon, and 
Lisa Moran '87 triumphed in the 400 
individual medley and the 200 back- 
stroke. 



New football coach 

John Rosenberg, an assistant 
coach at Penn State for nine years 
before moving to the professional 
ranks a year ago. was named head 
football coach at Brown on Decem- 
ber 19. Rosenberg, a Harvard alum- 
nus ('67), was an assistant coach with 
the Philadelphia Stars of the USFL 
last year.

14. 8:4j a.m.: A late-model Saab 
meanders into a five-way inteisec- 
tion in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, 
near the Mount Hope Bridge. 
Seeminglv oblivious to the "One 
\\'a\ — Do Not Hnter" sign looming 
ahead, the driver scarcely hesitates 
before swerving right, then left. 
These maneu\ers put the car on 
Route 1 14 heading towards New- 
port. 

The driver, Ira C. Magaziner 
'69. is scheduled to speak to the 
Rhode Island Library Association 
in Newport fifteen minutes hence. 
At least, that's what a reporter has 
told him. Maga/.iner has been 
traveling for nearh two weeks and 
has not checked with his office to 
determine this day's schedule. 

"I'm sorry I'm so late," he 
apologizes to the reporter, who at 
the moment is more concerned 
about her portable tape recorder 
ensconced on the Saab's dash. 
(Will it pick up Magaziner's infa- 
mous, barely-audible mumble 
above the hum of the engine?) 'I 
just got back from Sweden last 
night," he continues, "and I take 
care of my European calls on 
Monday mornings." 

The pale November landscape 
of Aquidneck Island rushes past 
the car window, framing the dis- 
tinctive profile of Brown's campus 
leader nonpareil of the late 196()s. 
Unquestionably this is Ira ("he is 
simply 'Ira' to everyone," noted 
the 1969 Liber Brunemis), he of the 
tousled hair, piercing gaze, and 
rumpled clothes immortalized in 
many a photograph: Speaking to 
crowds in front of Universitv Hall, 



presiding over Clammarian C:kib 
meetings, conversing soberly with 
President Ray Heffner and Corpo- 
ration members. His accomplish- 
ments at Brown, said the Liber 
writer, "are so multitudinous and 
important that he might be re- 
membered for any one of them, 
but combined they add up to a 
legend of continuous successes 
unmarred by a single failure." So 
far Magaziner seems to be living 
up to those and other glowing ac- 
colades from his student \ears. 

On this morning, however, the 
legend looks tieat, businesslike, 
and quite unremarkable. He is a 
bit wan after seventeen hours of 
flying home, and from an overseas 
work schedule which, he says, usu- 
ally extended from 7 a.m. until 
midnight. The casual corduroys of 
Magaziner's student davs are gone, 
replaced by a charcoal-gray suit, 
white shirt, and maroon tie: the 
corporate uniform. They hang 
with no particular elan on his 
lanky frame. Magaziner's hair has 
been shortened and tamed, and 
around the temples it is stippled 
with gray. 

Ira Magaziner, author of 
Brown's "New Curriculum," 
Rhodes Scholar, and one-time 
community acti\ist. is thirtv-five 
years old. "I don't think aboiu 
that; someday I'll admit that I'm 
thirty-five," he comments wryly. 
He is a founder and president of 
Telesis, Inc., an international lousi- 
ness consulting fuin with head- 
quarters in Pro\idence and larger 
offices in Paris and Melbourne. He 
is a Brown trustee, and as of July, 
a father for the first time. With his 
wife, Suzanne McTigue Magaziner, 
baby Seth, and a cat, he lives on 
several acres of Bristol's exclusive 
Poppasquash Point. 



Magaziner is hugeh successful 
in his profession, but during the 
past year he has made headlines in 
his chosen home state for a project 
which has earned him not a cent. 
He has dexoted much of his time 
to carrying out a major study that 
could change the state's fiscal cli- 
mate dramatically. 

In September 1982, Governor 
J. Joseph Garrahy created a nine- 
teen-member task force to study 
Rhode Island's faltering economy. 
Officiallv titled the Strategic De- 
\elopment Commission, it quickly 
became known as the Murray 
C^ommission after its leader, J. 
Terrence Murray, the forty-four-

Ira NIagaziner \olunteered his 
own time and that of several Tele- 
sis employees (including Suzanne 
Magaziner, who is the firm's treas- 
mer) to direct the stud\ and pro- 
duce a report. Murrav and Ciov- 
ernor Garrahy were quick to ac- 
cept this offer of high-powered 
mind-power. Magaziner estimates 
the services he and other Telesis 
staff members provided Rhode 
Island would have cost several mil- 
lion dollars. 




In his downtown Providence office, Ira Magaziner talks about national economic policy, and dreams 
of the day he'll have time to catch a Yankees home opener again. 



Seventy volunteers, many of 
them "loaned" by their employers, 
helped gather information on 
every aspect of the state's econ- 
omy. After thirteen months, Mag- 
aziner unveiled his draft report. It 
was 2,000 pages long and weighed 
twenty-one pounds. It was de- 
scribed as the most detailed eco- 
nomic study of the state ever writ- 
ten; as the most pessimistic set of 
projections ever arrived at; and, 
depending on whom you talked to, 
as either the most promising an- 
swer to Rhode Island's fiscal woes 
or a misguided scheme to throw 



public money — lots of it — into an 
economic black hole. 

The "Greenhouse Compact," 
the report is called, because of its 
emphasis on creating a climate of 
support for research and new in- 
dustry suited particularly to the 
state. It was released in October to 
fanfare befitting the unveiling of 
an Eleventh Commandment. Go\- 
ernor Garrahy lo\ed it. The state's 
universitv and college heads have 
endorsed it, as have a nimiber of 
major labor groups. Miraculously, in 
a state where labor and manage- 
ment have historically been at odds. 



many corporate officers and union 
leaders have found themselves rid- 
ing the same bandwagon in support 
of the proposal. 

The reactions of politicians 
have ranged from guarded to 
gung-ho. (Clearly there are oppor- 
tunities for political havmaking 
here; at least one state legislator 
has announced plans to draft an 
alternate proposal.) Several prom- 
inent members of Brown's eco- 
nomics faculty have publicly stated 
their opposition to the Greenhouse 
Compact. (The report's "wrong 



31 



diagnosis" based on a "sirange 
theory of how the economy works" 
niav result in a "treatment that 
could make the patient worse," 
admonished Associate Professor 
Allan M. Feldman and Professor 
George H. Borts in a November 4 
Op-Ed page commentary in the 
Providence Joiaiial-Bulletin.) Every- 
one is awaiting a statewide refer- 
endum that the governor hopes 
will be held in February. 

The Greenhouse Compact's 
proposed expenditure of $250 mil- 
lion would be the largest sum ever 
spent bv anv state (let alone the 
nation's smallest) for a single eco- 
nomic development plan. Every 
sector of the state's popula- 
tion — from corporations to private 
citizens — is being asked to cooper- 
ate, and that cooperation would 
include a one-time income-tax sur- 
charge. Even though the surcharge 
would amount to between $20 and 
$25 for an average familv of four 
in the state, it predictably has be- 
come a prime target of public con- 
cern and political sniping. The 
Greenhouse Compact may or may 
not change Rhode Island's econ- 
omy for the better, but before 
anyone can assess that, it must be 
approved by the voters and im- 

In between trips 
abroad, twenty 
speeches a week 

plemented. 

That's why Magaziner is head- 
ing to Newport first thing on a 
Monday morning, despite his 
late-night return from overseas. 
He and other commission mem- 
bers are out promoting the com- 
pact across the state, speaking to 
hundreds of special-interest 
groups. Magaziner himself ad- 
dresses between fifteen and twenty 
different audiences everv week. 
He does so without benefit of 
throat lozenges or notes (using 
notes "interrupts the flow of your 
explanation," he claims), and often 
without sitting down for a meal 
between speeches and other ap- 
pointments.

B 



\ the time the Saab 
reaches the Sheraton-Goat Islan- 
der in Newport, Magaziner is ten 
minutes late for the panel discus- 
sion. He is seated on a dais with 
state Senator McKenna. While 
McKenna speaks, Magaziner rubs 
his eyes sleepily. Then it is his 
turn. 

"I spent last night flying back 
from Sweden, where I'm working 
for a client," Magaziner says to the 
librarians, who fill a large meeting 
hall. "My body is here, but I'm not 
sine where mv mind is." He goes 
on to deliver a simple, crisp out- 
line of the commission's study. His 
mind, clearly, is right where it 
should be; and Magaziner, legen- 
dary maker of speeches during his 
crusades for peaceful change at 
Brown, is where he is very much 
at home — on a podium. 

"Some people ha\e called the 
Strategic Development Commis- 
sion too idealistic," Magaziner be- 
gins in a low-key voice devoid of 
mumbling. (Some things never 
change. In his 1969 Commence- 
ment address, Magaziner said he 
wished he could forget the num- 
ber of times people had called him 
an idealist.) Rather, he says, the 
commission has attempted to be 
realistic. "The [state's economic] 
picture is more depressing than we 
expected. We found that the aver- 
age earned income per capita has 
gone down from twenty-five years 
ago. Then it was 25 percent higher 
than the national average; now it is 
15 percent below." In average 
wages earned by factory workers, 
Magaziner says, Rhode Island 
ranks forty-eighth out of the fifty 
states. "The average Rhode Island 
worker makes $4,000 less than his 
counterpart in Massachusetts, and 
$12,000 less than a worker in 
Connecticut." And most frighten- 
ing to the commission is that "we 
saw that conditions were going to 
deteriorate if we continued as we 
were." 

The bad news for Rhode Is- 
land, Magaziner says, has a num- 



ber of dimensions. "We can't win 
against the increased competition 
from low-wage countries ... The 
state has a large number of com- 
panies in 'mature markets' — the 
markets are no longer growing. 
The prospects for creating many 
new jobs in proven growth indus- 
tries are not good ... Rhode Is- 
land's demographics can't maintain 
that rate of growth." 

On he goes, tossing off figures 
and statistics like lyrics to a favor- 
ite aria. His voice is even and ear- 
nest. Now and then there is an 
anecdote, often ironic, that reins in 
the audience, keeps the listeners 
with him. "I was with the governor 
of South Carolina a few weeks 
ago," Magaziner says while discuss- 
ing business-climate variables, such 
as low wages, that attract busi- 
nesses to other states. "They are 
having a terrible problem down 
there. [A conspiratorial smile] All 
the textile firms that left Rhode 
Island and Massachusetts twen- 
ty-five years ago are now- leaving 
South Carolina for Taiwan and 
Singapore." There is rueful laugh- 
ter from the crowd. 

Magaziner continues in this 
vein for a while. Then: "I'm sorry 
to dwell so long on the negative 
aspects of the report," he says. 
"But we have to understand them 
to comprehend the seriousness of 
our situation, and to see why dras- 
tic action is needed." The action 
he is proposing is people-centered, 
aimed at the twin goals of increas- 
ing the number of "traded" jobs 
(those that bring revenues from 
out-of-state) and raising the aver- 
age pay of Rhode Island workers. 
Four industrial "greenhouses" 
would help make this possible by 
creating new industries based on 
specialized research being carried 
on within the state. A prime ex- 
ample is the Brown engineering 
department's work on thin-film 
materials, led by Professor Joseph 
Loferski's photovoltaic solar cell 
studies: another, the University of 
Rhode Island's pioneering work in 
robotics. Tax incentives for new 
industries would be based on the 
number of jobs created, and their 
longevity. 




Labor leaders Barricelli and McElroy listen as Magaziner explains 
the Greenhouse Compact to members of Rhode Island unions. 



"You don't create wealth un- 
less you're willing to invest," Mag- 
aziner says. The sorts of invest- 
ments in Rhode Island's economy 
he is recommending, he says, 
might be compared to Brown's 
management of its endowment: 
An optimum mix of high- and 
low-risk in\estments. It is a philos- 
ophy that has worked recently in 
Japan, Sweden, and France — all 
countries where Telesis has done 
consulting work. 

"The most important issue in 
this is the administration of the 
plan," Magaziner concludes. "We 
have worked hard to propose a 
structure that is independent of 
special interests, but which must 
report to the state government. 
We recommend a commission 
composed of 'loaned' executixes 
who will not be paid for serving, 
but will receive their usual salary 
from their employers. Finally, the 
commission will cease to exist in 
seven years; it won't become a 
permanent bureaucracy. And we 
can never come back and ask for 
another penny beyond what you 
see in the report." 

With diverse backgrounds in 
business, education, and labor, the 
commission members found much 
to disagree about, Magaziner re- 
lates. "But we were all able to sav. 



'I don't like all the things in this 
report, but the major thrust is in a 
positive direction.' As John F. 
Kennedy said, 'This is not a time 
to assign blame for past mistakes. 
This is a time to assign responsibil- 
ity for future successes.' " 

After answering questions 
from the audience, NIagaziner 
gives a parting pep talk. "I came 
back to Rhode Island about four 
vears ago, and one of the things 
that reallv shocked me was how 
negati\e and cynical people in this 
state are. They seemed to have 
decided it was impossible that any- 
thing could improve here. That 
sort of attitude projects outward. 
Outsiders in the business world 
pick up negative impressions from 
their Rhode Island associates. 

"I wouldn't mind if Rhode Is- 
land became known nationallv as 
the state that in the hardest eco- 
nomic times voted for a tax to in- 
vest in its future." 

Applause, long and friendly, 
greets the end of Magaziner's 
remarks. Faye Zipkowitz of the 
state library association smiles 
wrvly and adjusts the microphone. 
"I've heard Mr. Magaziner speak 
on several occasions now," she 
says, "and he is not an easy act to 
follow." 



H 



e also is not an easy 
person to interview. As a consult- 
ant, the president of an interna- 
tional firm, and already one of 
Rhode Island's best-known volun- 
teers, Ira Magaziner has little time 
for chatting. That is why a re- 
porter and her tape recorder are 
hitching a ride in Magaziner's Saab 
this November morning. There 
are no other openings in his cal- 
endar until the following week. 

The ocean wind pummels the 
car as it crests the Newport 
Bridge; below, the chop of Narra- 
gansett Bay sparkles green and 
white. The Murray Commission 
report, it is suggested to Maga- 
ziner, has an undercurrent of so- 
cial consciousness to it; there are 
sections addressed to the plight of 
women and minorities in the work 
force, to environmental concerns. 
Is this Ira speaking? 

"I guess Terry [Murray] would 
say so," he replies with characteris- 
tic dry humor. "I think that in any 
economic development plan there 
are implicit values; even if you 
don't mention them, they're there. 

A report with an 
undercurrent of 
social consciousness 

To be honest, what I did was to 
present a set of values that I per- 
ceived to generally be held by 
Rhode Islanders. Things like say- 
ing the physical environment is 
important, and we don't want to 
screw it up. Also, you want to 
make sure everyone can partici- 
pate in the development. It wasn't 
our aim in the report to trv to 
address, let's say, economic ine- 
quality. But we wanted to make 
sure we didn't foster it, either. 

"Personally, I still have the 
same kind of values that I had in 
college. It's something that, in fact, 
perhaps made some of the more 
conservative members of the 
Rhode Island community a little 
uncomfortable with my doing this „„ 



smdv, bt'iause thev assumed 1 luicl 
liberal social values. But I believe 
thai duplicity. particuUuiv in gov- 
eiiinieiu, and also in business, is 
not appiopriate. I think it's right 
to be Irank, and if vou disagree, 
disagiee." 

So, the reporter reflects, inside 
\()u haven't changed. But what 
would \()u say to the people who 
knew vou in the 1960s who might 
perceive \ou as a business 
magnate, making lots ot money, 
wearing suits ...? 

' I've got to admit to wearing 
tiie suits." he says sottlv, smiling. 
(He claims not to have owned a 
suit until he went to work lor the 
Boston Consulting Group in 1973, 
alter being a communitv activist in 
Brockton, Massachusetts, for two 
\ears. Switching from a sport 
jacket to his first suit was "one ot 
those compromises I had to 
make." He still has "only two 
suits — no, three.") 

"I view myself as working for 
positive changes in society just as I 
alwa\s did. Even at Brown, I al- 
wavs worked within the svstem. I 
think I'm doing the same thing 
now. I'm trving to make some 
maj(;r changes in the way the 
econonn works. I don't take every 
assigruTient that's offered to me; I 
make choices. The Rhode Island 

'I'm working for positive 
changes in society 
just as I always have' 

study is iinportant to me in a per- 
sonal way. A lot of my writing and 
consulting is aimed at helping 
economies develop without having 
t(j resort to greater inequalities." 
He cites work he has ck)ne in Ire- 
land and Sweden. "We don't go in 
with a theoretical precept. We 
build up on the data of the coun- 
try. But in each case, we've made 
recommendations that don't in- 
volve having to say 'trickle-down' 
or 'make the rich richer, then cross 
your fingers.' 

"I may eventually get back into 
some kind of public service work 
directly — something that serves 
more than just a special interest 



that's Irving to make money. To 
me, the impoii.iut tiling is whether 
vou let the pursuit of a high in- 
come get in the way of the things 
you believe in. I've never been 
moti\ated by the specific aim to 
earn a high income. I've done well, 
and I don't feel as if I should give 
away money I've earned. But on 
the other hand, for a number of 
\ears I've spent a good deal of mv 
time on things wliicli are public- 
service-oriented and for which I 
don't get paid. That's my personal 
motivation. It's not that somebody 
else who doesn't do those things 
isn't as good as I am, but that's just 
what / want to do. 

"I don't think the amount of 
time I spend doing things I believe 
in has changed since I was at 
Brown. When I was a student, I 
spent time on my courses and did 
the normal work you shoidd do at 
a university, and I did that well 
and enjoyed it. But I also spent 
time doing other things that were 
not part of the cinriculimi. That's 
how I feel now about mv business. 
I spend a lot of time consulting, 
running my business, and I feel I 
do it fairly well; but the kind of 
business I'm in allows me the time 
to do other things that are impor- 
tant to me, like the Rhode Island 
study, or writing a book." (He is 
the author, with Harvard econo- 
mist Rof)ert Reich, of the 1982 
book. Minding America's Business, 
and is the co-author of several 
other books.) 

A Brown student who worked 
as a vohmteer on the Murray 
Commission study has observed 
that Magaziner works his Telesis 
staff very hard, but "it's okay, be- 
cause he works himself just as 
hard." Magaziner considers this 
information. "I think particularly 
the last year I've probably worked 
a few people much too hard. The 
Rhode Island study was so in- 
volved. But people know what to 
expect when they come to work 
with me. I may be demanding, biU 
they know that what they're doing 
has a shot at being very useful and 
accomplishing something." Telesis 
employs forty consultants in its 
three offices, up from six when 



Magaziner and several colleagues 
from the Boston Consulting (iroup 
founded the linn in 1979. 

"I hire people who are not just 
motivated by making money," 
Magaziner says. How does he iden- 
tify such an intangible quality in 
prospective employees? Simple: 
"The way we set our salary struc- 
ture. P\)r the kind of business 
we're in, people could earn a 1(H 
more money elsewhere, especially 
initially. If they come to work for 
Telesis, it has to be for some rea- 
son other than money. They're 
going to work hard and earn less 
than they would somewhere else." 



T 



he next stop on Magazin- 
er's speaking calendar this Monday 
is the University CAub, where the 
Harvard Club of Rhode Island is 
featuring him as its luncheon 
speaker. Magaziner, however, has 
chosen to forgo the free lunch in 
favor of getting some extra work 
done in his office on Dorrance 
Street. 

Shortly after 1 p.m., he strides 
into the elegant biulding on 
Benefit Street and moves through 
a velvet- and brocade-furnished 
sitting room where a silver-haired 
gentleman is engrossed in People 
magazine. The Harvard alumni 
are finishing their desserts in an 
adjacent dining room; they are a 
mix of young and midclle-aged 
executive types straight out of 
Dress for Success and elderly men 
sporting tweeds. Magaziner is 
greeted warmly by a young lawyer, 
who introduces him to the group. 

"It has always struck me as a 
little strange," IVIagaziner begins, 
"that in Rhode Island there is a 
Harvard Club, where people get 
together to celebrate a mistake 
they made in their youth. " Ibis is 
greeted with hearty laughter. 
"Now that you're all going to vote 
against the proposal..." (more 
laughter.) Magaziner works the 
audience of about fifty, singling 
oiu acquaintances, establishing 
links. There is no microphone, 
and to compensate his voice seems

(above), to union workers in 1983. 

to become deeper, more resonant, 
so that it carries easily throughout 
the (hning room. 

His speech is \irtually identical 
to the one he delivered earlier in 
Newport, except that he includes 
some details tailored to a more 
business-oriented audience: infor- 
mation on the licensing of private 
venture capitalists, giving them 
"aggressi\e tax benefits" in return 
for taking risks. Magaziner gets in 
a dig at his detractors at Brown: 
"A couple of Brown professors 
took exception to the report be- 
fore they had read it." (Only a 
summar\ of the report written and 
published by the Providence Jour- 
nal-Bulletin has been made availa- 
ble to date; the actual report is still 
at the printer.) 

"We've had a pie that's been 
shrinking for forty years," Maga- 
ziner concludes. "And we spend all 
our time fighting over the pie, and 
blaming each (jther when we don't 
get enough. This is the time to set 
aside our differences, to agree on 
a common cause. We have to make 
that pie bigger. Then we can argue 
over the bigger pie — but that's a 
much easier argument." 

If post-speech comments by 
departing listeners are to be be- 
lieved, Magaziner has won over 
another audience. "Excellent 
speaker..." "Fascinating presenta- 
tion..." "Very well organized; good 



facts..." Scraps of admiring evalua- 
tions waft out the door to the sit- 
ting room. 

It is after 2 p.m. Magaziner 
dons his dark-gray overcoat and 
begins walking back downtown, 
reporter in tow. In response to an 
observation about his speaking ef- 
fectiveness, he is suddenly all curi- 
osity: "What visual signals? Really? 
That's interesting; I hadn't 
thought of that before. " 

He walks into the Arcade, 
which has been transformed since 
his undergraduate days into a glit- 
tery array of gourmet fast-food 
shops and trendv boutiques, a la 
Boston's Quincy Market. He has 
not vet eaten lunch, and orders 
two slices of pizza and a Coke 
— "No ice, please." Magaziner once 
told a friend that putting ice in 
Coca-Cola was like diluting fine 
wine. 

At a white metal patio table he 
eats hastily, answers questions. No, 
he speaks no foreign languages 
fluently ("I have enough trouble 
with English!"); this has not been a 
problem in his international deal- 
ings. "You can usually work in 
English or have a translator." He 
reflects on his early involvement 
— beginning as a junior high stu- 
dent in New York — with the civil 
rights movement. "I went to Mis- 
sissippi when I was in high 
school — I worked there one sum- 



mer. And I was in the March on 
Washington." At Brown he served 
as an intermediary between black 
students who walked out in 1968 
and the administration, and lob- 
bied for increased recruiting of 
minority students. He also per- 
suaded his senior class to forgo 
the traditional dinner on Com- 
mencement weekend, and donate 
the money to the Transitional 
Year Program for incoming stu- 
dents. 

What exactly had he been do- 

'Putting ice in 
Coca-Cola is like 
diluting fine wine' 

ing in Brockton for two years after 
returning from Oxford? "There's 
really not much to tell. It was kind 
of an idealistic community-organiz- 
ing thing. We formed a food co- 
operative, started a newspaper, 
tried a housing rehabilitation 
thing. They were cooperative ideas 
to try to spur the city's develop- 
ment. Some succeeded; some 
failed. But it became clear to me 
after a while that we weren't really 
going to have a major impact. We 
made a lot of business mistakes. 

"I realized I was acting on my 
idealism without having enough 
experience in the world. I'd been 
at a university. I'd learned some „- 



opinions and formed some ideas 
about what should be done, but I 
didn't realh understand the econ- 
omy. A business strategy consult- 
ing firm is a great place to do that, 
because you go from company to 
company and work with chief exe- 
cutives, study them. " He was the 
first consultant hired by the Bos- 
ton Consulting Group — a firm he 
was steered to by Brown Fellow 
\'ernon Alden '45 via advice from 
Brown Fellow Alfred Joslin 
"ib — who hadn't been to business 
school. "I had to kind of talk my 
wa\ in the door at first." 

Do \ou alwavs eat so, er, well? 
he is asked. Magaziner sips his 
Coke enthusiastically. "Oh, this is 
good todav — Fm actually having 
lunch!" Then he is on his way back 
to Telesis, where a desk cluttered 
with telephone messages awaits 
him. 



s 



everal hundred students 
have crowded into Alumnae Hall's 
Crvstal Room on Friday, Novein- 
ber 18, for a 3 p.m. forum on in- 
ternational careers. The room is 
sweltering. Three speakers are in- 
troduced; the fourth is Ira Maga- 
ziner, who the students are as- 
sured "will be here an) minute." 
He arrives around 5 p.m., in the 
middle of another speaker's talk, 
and has to climb over an aisle-full 
of students to reach the front of 

'The United States lacks 
a coherent economic 
development policy' 

the room. He is wearing a familiar 
outfit: dark gray suit, white shirt, 
maroon tie. He casts the student 
emcee one of his quick smiles. 

When he is introduced, Maga- 
ziner receives the loudest, longest 
ovation of all the speakers. "It's a 
pleasure to be able to speak to a 
group about something other than 
the Rhode Island economy," he 
says. After an introduction to 
world economics and national in- 
3g dustrial policies, he gets to the 



topic at hand: careers. 

"You can enter into this field 
with no backgroiuid whatsoever, 
and be acKising major corporation 
heads fairly quickly." Magaziner 
himself took no economics courses 
at Brown, although he read exten- 
sively in modern economic theory, 
beginning with Adam Smith, while 
he was at Oxford. "If you're will- 
ing to yvork hard enough, vou can 
learn an approach and get a broad 
background cutting across the 
industrialized countries. And from 
being a senior consultant, you can 
move into the top management of 
any company. " 

While his field holds opportu- 
nities for relatively rapid ad- 
yancement, Magaziner stresses, 
there is a flip side. "The travel 
wears thin very quickly. In a year I 
may cross the Atlantic twenty-five 
to thirty times, the Pacific twenty- 
seven times, make several trips to 
Latin America. You're never in 
one place long enough to take 
much note of the surround- 
ings — it's airport, hotel, corporate 
headquarters, over and over. 

"The biggest negative part of 
the business is that you're always 
in the position of an advisor. Even- 
tually you find you want to do 
things yourself. Most people aver- 
age no more than eight to ten 
years in consulting. Then they go 
on to a management position in a 
private firm." 

The following Monday morn- 
ing Magaziner is on the telephone 
in his office at Telesis. The firm 
occupies a suite on the top floor of 
a reclaimed old building: slanting 
windows and a corner location give 
the room a greenhouse feeling. 
They also give its occupant a view 
of both doyvntown Providence and 
College Hill. 

Magaziner has reserved an 
hour for a reporter because he is 
anxious to talk about his ideas on 
national economic policy. Tele- 
phone message slips are spread 
across his desktop, sharing space 
with a jumble of folders and re- 
ports. There is one framed photo- 
graph on the desk, of Suzanne and 
Seth Magaziner, taken recently. 
She is smiling, and she resembles a 



young Gloria Steinem, with waist- 
length brown hair parted in the 
middle and aviator-style glasses. 
The baby is smiling, too, and even 
at some three months old, clad in 
a yellow bunting, he resembles his 
father. 

The phone call is concluded, a 
message slip discarded. Magaziner 
begins talking about economic 
development policies, or more 
specifically, the United States' lack 
of a coherent one. "In other coun- 
tries there are explicit government 
agencies set up to deal with long- 
term structural questions of devel- 
opment. In Japan there's the Min- 
istry of International Trade and 
Industry; in Germany it's the Min- 
istry of Technology. 

"What we've got is a series of 
specific measures — bits and pieces 
— ranging from civic trade meas- 
ures to specific subsidies for beef, 
cotton, and tobacco groyvers, to 
specific company-directed incen- 
tives, whether it's the Chrysler 
bail-out, or Lockheed. But yve 
don't have any coordination of 
these. They tend to happen as a 
particular problem comes up and 
are dealt yvith on a one-to-one ba- 
sis. The result is that we have a 
tremendous number of yvhat you 
could call individual industrial 
development policies, but they're 
not cohesive." He gestures emphat- 
ically, his outstretched hands echo- 
ing those depicted in the Xorman 
Rockwell print, "The L'mpires,' 
that hangs behind his desk. 

"There hay e been a number of 
proposals for setting up a coordi- 
nating mechanism — from the Re- 
publican side. Senator [William] 
Roth [of Delaware] has proposed 
creating a Department of Trade; 
the National Association of Manu- 
facturers ^\•ould like to create a 
Department of Trade and Indus- 
try that yvould have various func- 
tions; the AFL-CIO has a proposal 
for tripartite commissions. What's 
tended to happen, unfortunately, 
is that the debate in the U.S. over 
industrial policies has becoine very 
ideological. It's as if there yvere 
such a thing as a pure free market, 
and either you're in favor of pure 




free markets or you're in favor of 
government intervention."

doesn't often happen." He men-

unfair trade on the part of the 
Japanese. It's very difficult to send 
a lot of our products to Japan,

chairman. 

cess to the raw materials they 
need. So their backing-off point in 
negotiations is going to be before 
ours; they're going to be much 
more afraid of a trade break- 
down." 

It is precisely this sort of issue, 
Magaziner says, that the U.S. go\- 
ernment should have the capability 
to anahze and de\elop policies for. 
"Right now there are six or ten 
different government agencies 
dealing with trade and industry, 
and none of them has the analytic

'Doing something 
for someone 
besides ourselves' 



By Anne Diffily 

Photographs by John Foraste 



A 



t a time of year when 
Prcjvidence shopkeepers have be- 
gun to decorate their display win- 
dows with wreaths, candy canes, 
and reindeer, Marji Young '84 
remembers another holiday sea- 
son, when she was eight or nine 
years old. "I was among a group 
of children who danced for the 
residents of a mental institution. 
Right in the middle of the Nul- 
cracker, one of the patients started 
screaming. I felt a real fear of 
those people for a long time after 
that." 

Now, says Young, her child- 
hood fears of the mentally ill and 
handicapped are entirely dispelled. 
She has spent many hours during 
her time at Brown volunteering at 
Providence's Behavioral Develop- 
ment Center, a private clinic for 
autistic children, and at the Meet- 
ing Street School, a school for 
physically handicapped children. 
And this year she is serving as 
president of the largest student 
organization on campus. Brown 
Community Outreach (BCO), 
which involves more than 500 stu- 
dents in volunteer work for twen- 
ty-four community agencies. 
Through BCO, Young estimates. 
Brown students share about 1,500 
hours per week with people of all 
ages — the handicapped, the un- 
derprivileged, the elderly, the very 
voung, the refugees and immi- 
grants striving to make new lives 
in Rhode Island. Every spring, the 
volunteers and their friends host 
hundreds of area children at an 
all-day carnival and cookout, 
"BCO Day," with food and other 
supplies donated in generous 



quantities by area merchants. 

"Students at Brown are look- 
ing for things to do outside the 
University," Young believes. "No 
matter how busy you are, every- 
body has some free time. Many of 
us want to get away from Brown 
for a while, to do something for 
someone besides ourselves. Presi- 
dent Swearer has emphasized 
Brown's responsibility to the sur- 
roimding community. I think stu- 
dents feel that way, too." 

"It's easy when you're at 
Brown to forget there's a real 
world out there," agrees Mark 
Ogden '84, who has participated in 
the 200-member Big Brother pro- 
gram since the fall of his freshman 
year. "We live in one of the most 
positive environments you'll ever 
find. Not everyone is so lucky." 

Voliuiteerism isn't a new idea 
at Brown. Brown Commimity Out- 
reach is the latest in a continuum 
of such activity, organized to 
greater or lesser extents over the 
years, and including the popular 
Brown Yoiuh Organization of the 
late 1960s and early 1970s. BCO 
serves as an umbrella for a wide 
variety of volunteer opportunities. 
This year BCO has a new office in 
Faunce House, its first newsletter 
in several years, and a budget of 
$7,000. "We asked the UCS 
[Undergraduate Council of Stu- 
dents] for $14,700 for each semes- 
ter," Young says, shaking her head 
in frustration. "We have three vans 
that are used by all our programs, 
but onlv two are working, and 
even those are unreliable. Some of 
the agencies would like to put on 
Christmas parties and other 
events, but we don't have enough 
money this year. With a bigger 
budget, we could get even more 
students involved." 




After his last game, linebacker Mark Ogden '84 spends 
a quiet moment with his Little Brother, James. 



Like budget woes, however, 
enthusiasm springs eternal, and it 
is personiHed by Susan Schwartz 
"85, who will take over as BCO's 
president next year. Schwartz vol- 
unteers with both the Big Sister 
program and a similar program 
organized by the Rhode Island 
School for the Deaf. Brimming 
with excitement — "Don't admire 
me!" she entreats; "I'm having as 
much fun as the kids" — Schwartz 
also acknowledges that being a 
student and a volunteer takes spe- 
cial motivation and discipline. 

"At college you have to reach 
out and really persevere to be a 
\olunteer," she says. "Brown is an 
idealistic, Utopian place, and our 
four years here probably are the 
best and most selfish years of our 
lives. But through BCO, you can 
contribute something to others 
even if you only have a few hours 
a week to spare. That little time 
vou give up means so much to the 
recipients." For programs invoh- 
ing children, Schwartz adds, BCO 
"ne\er has trouble getting volun- 
teers. We have a waiting list of 
thirteen women students waiting 
for deaf 'Little Sisters." "

here is no telephone in 
the Pawtucket apartment where 
James, age thirteen, li\es with his 
mother (a single parent), twin sis- 
ters, and a baby brother. When 
Mark Ogden wants to get in touch 
with his "Little Brother," he drives 
out to the housing project and 
looks around. Or he gives James a 
couple of dimes and waits for a 
call from a pay phone. Ogden es- 
timates he spends between fi\e and 
eight hours with James every 
week, more when there's a big 
event such as the barbecue put on 
by Brown's Big Brother organiza- 
tion this fall. 

"James is a great kid, but he's 
an extreme hardship case," Ogden 
says. "He was very shy and defen- 
sive when we first met. I was for- 
tunate in having an understanding 
of his background — my older sister 
is a social worker, and I alwavs was 




"Amazing" is how Rebecca Harrison '84 describes the adults who study English at Project Persona. 
Here she assists teacher Deborah Schiavo in a beginners-level class. 



aware of the people she worked 
with. Now James is reallv open. He 
can be a little aggressive, but all 
my friends really enjoy him. Other 
Big Brothers talk about him 
— 'James is such a good kid, so 
well-behaved.' I think he has great 
potential to do well in life." There 
is unmistakable pride in Ogden's 
voice. 

James and Ogden spend their 
time together doing what boys do: 
playing basketball in the gvm, go- 
ing to a football game. Ogden also 
teaches a Sunday School class, and 
sometimes he invites James to par- 
ticipate in special class activities, 
such as roller-skating. "The biggest 
thing you can do," Ogden says, "is 
just be there. James knows he has 
a man he can rely on. He can trust 
me like a father. I get him out of 
the project for a little while, and 
he sees other kids in a positive 
environment." 

When James placed second 



overall in a Big Brothers-spon- 
sored track meet in Brown's ath- 
letic center, "he said it was the 
happiest day of his life," recalls 
Ogden. James is now involved in 
Pop Warner football in his own 
community, and this has given him 
new perspectives on achievement 
and teamwork. "He said the great- 
est thing to me this year," Ogden 
savs. "I haven't been playing as 
much [varsity football] this year, 
and I was feeling kind of down 
about it. James told me, 'Mark, 
don't worry if you don't plav a lot. 
We can't all be superstars.' " The 
Big Brothers, Ogden concludes, 
"get as much out of this as the Lit- 
tle Brothers. " 

Susan Schwartz agrees. "I get 
to be a kid and enjoy myself when 
I'm with one of my Little Sisters," 
she says. "I stop worrying about 
my next exam for a while. " She 
sees Kim, her Little Sister from the 
School for the Deaf, on Wednes- 



day afternoons, when a bus brings 
children from the school to Brown 
(another group comes on Mon- 
days). Schwartz spends time on 
weekends with Melissa, her hear- 
ing Little Sister. 'It's nice to do 
things that are just fun, like put- 
ting on makeup or making friend- 
ship pins," Schwartz says. "A lot of 
things that I would be doing anv- 
wav — going to football games, 
dance concerts, Newport — I simply 
include one of my Little Sisters 
in." 

Working with Kim also do\e- 
tails with Schwartz's career inter- 
ests: She would like to leach and 
counsel deaf children. "Before I 
came to Brown, I worked with 
special-education children in a rec- 
reation program," she says. "One 
child was deaf, so I learned the 
American Sign Language alphabet 
and a few words." She took a 
sign-language course at Brown in 
her sophomore year, and now co- 



41 



teaches functional sign language 
on riunsdav nights. All ihe slu- 
dfiit voluiuecrs in the Sciiool tor 
the Deal program, she ackis, have 
some acquaintance with sign lan- 
guage: the better signers are 
p.ured with the more sign-depen- 
dent children. 

"A lot ot the Big Sisters do 
things like making cookies with 
their deaf Little Sisters." Schwartz 
savs. "'because many parents keep 
deaf children out of the kitchen, 
feeling it"s dangerous for them to 
be in there. One student here 
taught her Little Sister to play 
tennis." Working with deaf chil- 
dren, Schwartz says, requires extra 
time; expressing abstractions and 
feelings not easily conveyed with 
the hands can be tedious. "After 
you called," Schwartz says by way 
of example, "Kim wanted to know 
what the word 'alumni" meant. I 
finger-spelled it for her, but she 
didn't know the word. It took me 
fifteen minutes to teach her to 
imderstand the word 'alumnus." 
But it was worth it."" 

Jane Ifekwunigwe "85, a native 
of England who grew up in Cali- 
fornia, finds children irresistible. 
"At home, I ran a nursery school 
affiliated with niv church, was a 
day-camp counselor, and xolun- 
teered with the inpatient/outpa- 
tient pediatric ward at UCLA."" 
She is in Brown's seven-year medi- 

'I'm there to be 
a companion 
and a friend' 

cal education program and hopes 
to become a pediatrician. 

She began vohmteering at the 
Brown- Fox Point Day-Care Center 
on Hope Street last year and in 
short order became the coordina- 
tor for the program with BCO. 
Thirty-seven Brown students vol- 
unteer at the Center, where seven- 
ty-nine children between the ages 
of three and five spend weekdays 
while their parents work. 

"We help with meals, school 
projects, and play time,"" Ifekwun- 
igwe says. "Between three and five 
^2 o"clock in the afternoons are the 



most enjoyable times tor me 
— that's tree time, and we play 
with the kids, paint, watch 'Sesame 
Street.' " Itekwiuiigwe especially 
enjoys the "incredible multiracial, 
multicultural mixture" at the 
school. "We have one little boy 
from Africa, one trom Korea, a 
number of Portuguese-speaking 
children, several Spanish-speaking 
... They live evervwhere from Fox 
Point to Blackstone Boulevard, but 
they all play together: there are no 
barriers." 

Ifekwunigwe recruits \()lun- 
teers at "BCO Night" each semes- 
ter, but finds that many literally 
walk in off the street. "They walk 
by the playground every day, and 
they think, 'That looks like fun.' 
It is not only fun. students find, 
but therapeutic. "Other volunteers 
tell me that it's nice to escape from 
the high pressure, the intense aca- 
demic en\ironment at Brown, and 
just play on the swings. And it's 
great to be appreciated. Often you 
feel you don't really stand out in 
Brown's student body, but when 
you go to the day-care center, the 
little kids give you such an affec- 
tionate welconie. such big hugs."

T ? ith 



ithout the allure of 
plavful children, some of BCO's 
other programs are less than 
overwhelmed with volunteers. 
Many students would rather not be 
confronted with a lonely, elderlv 
nursing-home resident, or an un- 
predictable, withdrawn, mentally-ill 
thirty-year-old man, or other 
needy members of Rhode Island's 
adult population. Nevertheless, a 
number of programs for such 
adults are part of BCO, and the 
volunteers are quick to point to 
the rewards as well as the chal- 
lenges. 

"There aren't too man\ stu- 
dents drawn to this," admits Heidi 
Auerbach '84, coordinator of 
BCO's program at the C^harlesgate 
Nursing Center in Providence. 
"For young people, nursing homes 
have a stigma: They think only 
senile people live there, and that 



it's always depre.ssing." Auerbach 
and the fifteen or so students who 
volimteer at Charlesgate each se- 
mester know otherwise. "The resi- 
dents have lots to talk about," she 
says. "Everyone's life is interesting. 
It's neat to realize that this eighty- 
year-old person was once young 
and felt the same things that we 
do now. It's exciting to talk with 
them." 

Each student volimteer visits 
an a\erage of three residents once 
a week for about an hour. "We 
help ease the loneliness at the 
musing home." Auerbach says. 
"I've found that the residents of- 
ten don't engage in any activities. 
There's a lot of depression and not 
enough interaction with other res- 
idents." This, she stresses, is not 
the fault of the facility or its staff. 
"Even the most alert and func- 
tional of the elderly people may 
want to stick to themselves. 

"The patients feel good when 
young people show an interest in 
them,"" Auerbach says. "They feel 
thev still ha\e something to give; 
they are wanted. Just because 
someone has a broken hip and his 
memory isn't very good doesn't 
mean he's not a whole person." 
Some of the \okmteers and the 
residents keep in touch over the 
summers. "One of our volunteers 
who lives in Massachusetts sent 
'care packages' to an elderly wo- 
man at Charlesgate," .\uerbach 
recalls. "She enclosed chocolates, 
letters, little things. That meant so 
much to the woman, who has \ir- 
tualh no relati\es. 

"The pioblem for people who 
reach the age of eighty or so is 
often that they"re the oldest mem- 
ber of their familv,"' Auerbach 
savs. "Their friends have died and 
there is no one to support them. 
Making new friends is very 
difficult for them. We help bring 
them back to the idea of becoming 
sociai)le. We introduce residents to 
each other and show them they 
can still be acti\e. " .Auerbach, who 
plans a career in geriatric medi- 
cine, admits to occasional feelings 
of frustration. "Sometimes I feel 
helpless — I want to treat the pa- 
tient. But I have to remember

that's not my role. I'm there to be 
a conijianion and a friend." 

Katy C^astagna '86 and eight 
other students spend their Monday 
evenings being companions and 
friends to a group of men — nsiialh 
about fifteen, depending on who 
has "privileges" each week — at 
Rhode Island's Institute of Mental 
Health. The decor of the lounge is 
basic institutional rec-room (tile 
floor, big tables, a record player, a 
piano), and the initial meetings 
with patients can be awkward. 
"Some are very receptive to us," 
Castagna says. "But others will 
only sit in a corner and smoke." 

To break the ice, volimteers 
initiate simple conversations aljout 
meals and the weather. "A month 
ago, the big topic was the autumn 
leaves," C^astagna says. Some of the 
patients, most of whom are over 
thirty, are anything but shy. "One 
of the youngest patients had been 
an art student at Providence Col- 



lege," Castagna says. "We talk con- 
stantly about drawing, painting, 
college." Other patients are less 
lucid. "They'll start telling us about 
their delusions. The hospital staff 
has instructed us to simply say, 'I 
don't understand what you're say- 
ing. Let's talk about something 
else.' We're not there to be psv- 
chologists." 

Castagna, an anthropology 
major, is interested in social prob- 
lems. She spent a summer working 
with runaway adolescents and bat- 
tered women at a shelter in her 
home state of California. "I enjoy 
volunteer work," she says. "The 
IMH program is really rewarding. 
Every once in a while one of the 
patients will say, i'm so glad you 
came.' I don't get depressed by it 
at all. Once I'm there, I'm totally 
wrapped up in the sounds and 
sights aroimd me. The patients 
love music; one of them is a very 
talented pianist. They like to sing 



or just to listen. 

"Bonds develop between some 
students and patients, and that's 
wonderful. But changes in the pa- 
tients' medication can result in 
personality changes from week to 
week. Sometimes you feel you 
know someone, and the next week 
he's a stranger. You have to stay 
objective, to say to yourself, 'My 
role in this person's life is very 
small.' You can't entertain 
thoughts that you're going to 
change their lives. But even if you 
ha\e helped one person have a 
good da\', you come away with a 
good feeling." 

The adults Rebecca Harrison 
'84 helps teach at Project Persona, 
an agency that operates out of the 
Trinity Methodist Church on 
Broad Street in Providence, are 
handicapped only bv the burden 
of living in an alien cultme and by 
their inability to speak English.

rick '86 spend Thursday nights 
ser\ing as teaching assistants and 
tutors for immigrant adults, many 
of whom work full-time during the 
days, who want to speak English 
and improve their new lives in 
America. "Most of them are rela- 
tively recent refugees," Harrison 
says. Among their countries of 
origin: Cambodia, Thailand, Viet- 
nam, Laos, Haiti, the Dominican 
Republic, Argentina, Portugal. 

"As a student of Japanese," 
Harrison says, "I know what it's 
like to learn a totally different lan- 
guage. The worst feeling in the 
world is not being able to express 
yourself; you feel extremelv 
impotent." Harrison and Fitzpa- 
trick know the students are mak- 
ing progress when they develop 
the confidence to initiate conversa- 
tions. Or, as one man reported 
proudlv, "My boss told me my 
English is improving so muchi" 
Such direct feedback is highly 
rewarding, Harrison says, and it 
has made the experience at Project 
Persona "far more than just some- 
thing to put on my resume." 

Harrison was amazed, she says, 
at the enthusiasm of both the Per- 
sona staff and the adult students. 
"A sixty-year-old Portuguese wom- 
an could easily stay in her neigh- 



borhood and be very comfortable." 
Harrison obser\es. "Instead, she 
was coming out four nights a 
week, two hours a night, to learn 
to speak English." At Brown, says 
Harrison, everything is "so Ameri- 
canized. It's good to get down off 
the Hill and see different age 
groups, to learn about people's 
cultures and homelands. It's easy 
to forget there's a real world out 
there." 

That "real world" draws closer 
for Brown students who volunteer. 
Marji \'oung mentions that her 
brother, Andrew '86, signed up 
with the Big Brother program. 
"Until he got his little brother, he 
had never been as far as Gano 
Street," she says. "Volunteering 
gives Brown students an entirely 
different perspective." end

Mark Garrison, a former American 
diplomat and Soviet specialist who 
served in the U.S. Emha.ssy in Moscow, 
IS director of the Center for Foreign 
Policy Development at Brown. This 
article is an address he gave in Min- 
neapolis in October to the Upper Mid- 
west Women's Leadership Conference 
on National Security. 



T 



he realistic starting point 
in dealing with an adversary is to 
know what you want and to know 
your adversary. In trying to cope 
with the Soviets, we have failed on 
both counts. 

To start with, we have not 
been able to agree on our own 
priorities. For the past decade or 
so, we have wandered around the 
compass. Richard Nixon sensed in 
the early seventies that Americans 
were ready to come to terms with 
the Soviets. So he went to the 
summit in Moscow at the begin- 
ning of the 1972 election cam- 
paign. President Xixon and Henry 
Kissinger had a realistic agenda 
for dealing with the Russians. But 
they didn't convey their realism to 
the American people, who made 
the same mistake they had made 
during World War II, believing 
that Russians think like .Americans 
and could be dealt with accord- 
ingly. Nixon and Kissinger, how- 
ever, merely wanted to cap off the 
nuclear arms race and to get 
U.S. -Soviet competition in other 
countries under control. 

Part of their strategy was to 
use economic relations as an in- 
ducement. But the economic part 
of the package was undone by the 
failure of Americans to under- 
stand what was going on, and by 
Nixon's and Kissinger's failure to 
lead .American opinion to a mature 
and realistic view. Backlash even- 
tually set in. 

First, the Soviets were shrewd 
traders in making their first big 
purchases of U.S. grain; but in- 
stead of merely taking steps to 
assure that couldn't happen that 



Dealing with the Russians: 
Some Do's and Donts 



way again, the cry went up in tiie 
U.S. that this proved the Russians 
couldn't be trusted. 

Next, the phenomenon of Jew- 
ish emigration from the U.S.S.R. 
awoke Americans to issues of 
human rights in the Soviet Union, 
and in particular to the right to 
live where one chooses, which to 
Americans seemed absolutely basic. 
But instead of realizing that the 
key to maintaining the flow of 
emigration from the Soviet Union 
was a continuation of detente, 
Americans carelessly went along 
with a majority in Congress who 
took it on themselves to legislate a 
connection between emigration 
and the restoration of normal 
U.S. -Soviet trade — which the Sovi- 
ets, not surprisingly, rejected. 

The result? Nixon's and Kis- 
singer's initiatives on issues 
affecting war and peace were un- 
dermined. And the hope of emi- 
gration for what would by now 
have been hundreds of thousands 
of Soviet Jews was dashed. 

As for the Nixon-Kissinger 
strategy of using detente to get a 
handle on competition in the 
Third World, Americans were not 
mature enough to balance losses, 
such as Angola, against gains, such 
as in Egypt, where Sadat kicked 
out thousands of Soviet advisers. 

Oiu" lack of realism continued 
under Jimmy Carter. When the 
Soviets with consummate insensi- 
tivity continued to demonstrate 
that they do not share our human 
rights concerns, we worked om- 
selves into an official public lather 
rather than working quietly behind 
the scenes for improvements. We 
dabbled in linkage between the 
SALT negotiations and African 
issues. While trying to persuade 
the Soviets to end the nuclear 



arms race and to behave them- 
selves around the world, we gave 
them reason to believe that we 
were preparing to arm their 
neighbor and mortal enemy, 
China. 

riien came Afghanistan. After 
the invasion, serious sanctions had 
to be imposed to demonstrate that, 
while we would not go to war over 
Afghanistan, such Soviet behavior 
was not acceptable. It may have 
been wrong for President Carter 
to suspend Senate consideration of 
the SALT II Treaty, which he had 
signed with Brezhnev a few 
months before. But he was facing 
up to political reality. And the 
proof of that reality is the fact that 
there were loud complaints in this 
country over his other sanctions, 
such as the grain embargo and the 
Olympics boycott, but only a few 
voices spoke out for the SALT 
Treaty. 

The point in recounting all 
this is to illustrate that we Ameri- 
cans have been unable to keep oiu" 
priorities straight, and our national 
interest has suffered for it. When 
we should have been focused in- 
tently on capping the arms race 
and reducing the danger of 
U.S. -Soviet confrontation, we got 
sidetracked with side issues. Hav- 
ing an unrealistic view of the Sovi- 
ets to start with, we reacted emo- 
tionally when they behaved like 
Soviets. 

Which brings us to the prob- 
lem of knowing our adversary. 
That's not so easy, and certainly 
can't be accomplished in these few 
words. Let us zero in only on those 
aspects of Soviet outlook and be- 
havior that most disturb Ameri- 
cans: military power, expan- 
sionism, and morality. 



L 



et's start with Soviet mil- 
itary power. Americans are trou- 
bled by the sheer size of it, particu- 
larly in proportion to the Soviet 
economy, and also by the strong 
influence of the military in Soviet 
society. What explains the Soviet 
preoccupation with armed force, 
the piling up of weapons? 

No doubt some of the explana- 
tion goes back to the lessons 
learned unconsciously from the 
dim past. Russian soil was tram- 
pled by invaders from many direc- 
tions. The Russian nation grew up 
in a neighborhood where the rule 
was dominate or be dominated. 
The lesson was that the best de- 
fense is a good offense. 

But the biggest lesson came in 
the more recent past, in World 
War II. The Soviet Union was not 
adequately prepared for Hitler's 
invasion, and the Russians almost 
lost their country. More important 
even than the twenty million dead, 
in terms of the continued existence 
of the country, was the occupation 
of the industrial and agricultural 
heartland. Their third largest city 
was occupied, the second largest 
was nearly strangled by siege, and 
Nazi tanks approached the out- 
skirts of Moscow itself. The Soviet 
Union could have ended up as a 
Siberian principality. 

Americans talk of a Pearl Har- 
bor syndrome. We should be able 
to understand why the Soviet Un- 
ion after Hitler's near miss decided 
thenceforward to err on the side 
of having too much rather than 
too little military might. 

Nuclear weapons came into a 
Soviet consciousness that had been 



45 



luavilv iiiMiiciued In that lesson oi 
World War 11. Tliat niav help ex- 
plain why Soviet leaders, perhaps 
even more than American leaders, 
failed to grasp the difference 
brought bv this new weapon: that 
once you have the capacity to de- 
stroy your enemy's society no mat- 
ter wfiat he does to you, you have 
enough. 

Of course, it was the U.S. 
which rapidly built up nuclear 
arms in the first place. But Soviet 
leaders could have done thein- 
selves and the world a great ser- 
vice by adopdng the principle of 
sufficiency in their own build-up 
and tapering off before approach- 
ing U.S. levels. 

1 dwell on this not to shift the 
blame — there is plenty to go 
around — but to help understand 
where the Soviet Union is coming 

We cannot influence 
Soviet policy; we can 
influence American policy 

froin regarding nuclear weapons 
and what we can expect if the U.S. 
engages in an all-out race to build' 
nuclear arms. The Soviet leaders 
are at least as obtuse as Ainerican 
leaders in these matters and will 
continue to match us, nuclear 
weapon for nuclear weapon. 

Why are Soviet leaders willing 
to go down that road? There are 
two main reasons. One I already 
mentioned: their preoccupation 
with military preparedness as a 
source of security, flowing out of 
their history and especially their 
experience in World War II. The 
other reason is that equality with 
the U.S. in nuclear weaponry is of 
great political importance to the 
Soviet Union. 

We should pay special atten- 
tion to this matter of equality. 
Americans who are in the main- 
stream of their own society may 
have a hard time understanding 
the powerful influence of the drive 
for equal status on an individual 
or a nation long given second-class 
treatment. It is nevertheless real, 
as is the chip still on the shoulder 
46 even after success has been pain- 



fully achieved. Richard Nixon 
understood that, in some degiee, 
regarding the Soviets. It's unfor- 
tunate that Ronald Reagan does 
not. 

N 

-i- ^ ow let's turn to the 

question of Soviet expansionism. 
We could find a politer term, but 
the political reality in the U.S. is 
that the majority of Americans 
regard the Soviet Union as expan- 
si()nistic. The reasons lie in Soviet 
annexations at the end of World 
War II, Soviet control over Eastern 
Europe dating from the same 
time, and the current occupation 
of Afghanistan. 

The hallmark of those in- 
stances involving actual Soviet oc- 
cupation or control is their loca- 
tions: All are on or near the Soviet 
border. And all involve relatively 
weak countries. 

In trying to understand Soviet 
policies of using force and intimi- 
dation to dominate weak neigh- 
bors, the lessons of history already 
discussed are usually invoked. You 
might ask how these lessons would 
apply to a superpower armed with 
nuclear weapons. But we should 
remember that it is Soviet leaders, 
not we, who are drawing the les- 
sons. So until they become more 
confident of Soviet security, we 
have to take as a given the ex- 
tremely high value that they place 
on having docile neighbors. 

Some people think of Soviet 
expansionism as a global drive, not 
restricted to areas near their bor- 
ders. But Soviet support for fac- 
tions and governments in distant 
places is a diffeient matter, stem- 
ming less from Soviet concerns for 
their security than from their self- 
image as a superpower that has 
arrived on the world scene. 

They demonstrate their status 
by cultivating clients and influence, 
and generating "vital interests" to 
be defended at great distances and 
great cost, just as they perceive the 
other superpower does. We may 
not like it. We may insist that our 
efforts to support the "good guys" 



around the world are connnenda- 
ble, whereas the Soviet support for 
the "bad guys" is reprehensible. 
But since they are in fact a super- 
power, we will have to find a safe 
way to cope, rather than thrashing 
around like a frustrated child. 




nally, let's turn to issues 
under the heading "morality," 
ranging from the treatment of dis- 
senting voices at home to the 
shooting down of civilian airliners. 
My own view is that such questions 
must be dealt with, but in a way 
that does not impede the search 
for ways to head off nuclear war. 
But once again the reality of 
American politics rears its head. 

The reality is that most Ameri- 
cans deeply disagree with one or 
another aspect of Soviet handling 
of human concerns. It is certainly 
true that the Soviet Union is 
guided by a philosophy about the 
relationship between individual 
and society that is quite different 
from ours. And that philosophy is 
unlikely to change, certainly not in 
a climate of gathering hostility. 

Like attitudes on security mat- 
ters, Soviet attitudes on human 
problems have roots both in Rus- 
sian history and in the history of 
the last sixty-six years. Americans 
find it odd that Stalin — in our 
minds the very epitome of repres- 
sion, cruelty, and violation of 
human rights — is still widely 
viewed in the Soviet Union as just 
the sort of leader needed: a strong 
hand at the tiller. So we can't as- 
sume that the masses in the Soviet 
Union are just biding their time 
until they can rise and install a 
humanitarian and democratic re- 
gime. 

Merelv understanding what 
motivates the Soviets on those is- 
sues of greatest concern to us is 
not enough. What conclusions can 
we draw for American policy? I 
offer these suggestions. 

First, we should always keep a 
mirror close at hand, to look into 
and make sure that we are reallv 
as pure as we think. 



Second, we should realize thai 
we cannot continue to rely on the 
simplistic belief that the only way 
to keep the peace is to prepare for 
war. 

That does not mean we can 
ignore So\ iet military power or the 
Soviet attitude toward the use of 
force in international relations any 
more than the Soviet Union can 
ignore American military power 
and the uses to which it has been 
or might be put. So in order to 
keep the peace between us and the 
Soviet Union, we must be well 
armed. What is at issue is how we 
should be armed, and what we 
should do to assure that these 
arms are used only to deter attack. 

That means a realistic view 
about the limitation and dangers 
of nuclear weapons, and greater 
reliance on other means — eco- 
nomic and political tools, as well as 
non-miclear arms — to assure our 
security. Agreements on limiting 
and reducing both U.S. and Soviet 
nuclear arms would make it easier 
for both sides to reduce depend- 
ence on those suicidal weapons. 
But in today's world, any test of 
arms between the superpow- 
ers — however it begins — will run a 
grave risk of g<>i'ig nuclear. 
Therefore we — and the Soviet 
Union — must find ways to settle 
peacefully the hard problems 
around the world that make coop- 
eration impossible and in some 
cases could lead to confrontation 
and war: Eastern Europe and 
Afghanistan, the Persian Gulf, the 
Middle East, China, Central Amer- 
ica. 

But we cannot successfully deal 
with the problems of either nu- 
clear weaponry or crisis prevention 
unless we and the Soviet Union 
can conduct businesslike discus- 
sions. At a minimum, this means 
we must deal with each other with 
dignity and with respect for each 
other's interests, making clear in 
word and deed that we respect 
each other's right to exist, that we 
are not just buying time until we 
can slip the knife between the oth- 
er's ribs. 



s 



ome Americans doubt 
that respect and dignity should be 
accorded a country that does not 
behave in accordance with our 
standards of morality and human- 
ity. But in my book, preserving the 
human race is a moral objective of 
the highest order, and deserxes 
the highest priority. That does not 
mean giving up the struggle for 
humanity and morality, but we 
should approach that struggle with 
the tolerance we boast of, and with 
a touch of humility, and we should 
never let that struggle endanger 
the existence of the civilization so 
painfidly constructed o\'er thou- 
sands of years. 

If we concede the Soviets' right 
to their views and their right to 
order their own affairs at home, 
we will not onh remove an impor- 
tant stumbling block on the path 
to peace, but will gain a better 
hearing for oin- own views on 
himianitarian and moral issues, 
and for the rights of indi\iduals in 
Communist countries whom we 
want to help. 

As Americans, there is little we 
can do about So\iet policy. But we 
can do something about American 
policy. 

If we want to avoid nuclear 
war, we have to keep that priority 
uppermost in our minds at all 
times. 

If we want to defend our free- 
doms and our values and those ot 
our friends without risking nuclear 
war, we first have to reach a solid 
national consensus on exactly what 
we will defend. Then we must 
make clear that we will make sac- 
rifices to build up non-nuclear 
defense forces, and if necessary, 
spill American blood. 

We citizens and our elected 
representatives in Congress bear a 
somber responsibility. If we pas- 
sively permit the sending of Amer- 
ican troops abroad without a clear 
consensus about their objective 
and their means for achieving it, 
we run terrible risks. Not only the 
risk to the lives of brave, young 



Americans, but the risk that un- 
dertakings lightheartedly launched 
will unexpectedly enmesh us in 
events where we seem to have no 
choice but to go ahead up the lad- 
der to an eventual confrontation 
with the Soviet Union. 

If there is a strong national 
consensus that we are taking that 
first step to defend something vi- 
tal, such as the integrity of West- 
ern Europe, that would be under- 
stood by the Soviet Union and the 
chances are good we would not be 
challenged. So far that has worked 
in Europe. But if our motives and 
interests are obscure, we risk a 
Soviet miscalculation leading to 
catastrophe. 

What else should we do? We 
have to recognize that there is little 
we can do to change Soviet views 
on human rights or Eastern Eu- 
rope, and that whatever marginal 
influence we do have works best 
under conditions of good U.S.- 
SoN'iet relations. 

We have to give up ideas of 
arming the Chinese to fight the 
Russians. 

We have to be mature about 
competition in the Third World, 
using our economic and political 
advantages but recognizing that we 
will win some and lose some 
— maybe even the Third World 
will win some — and that neither 
wins nor losses are permanent. 

If we want the Soviet Union to 
stop sending its troops into other 
countries, such as Afghanistan, to 
install a government to Soviet lik- 
ing, we should think carefully be- 
fore sending the Marines into 
other countries to protect demo- 
cratic institutions. 

And one final point: If we 
want rationality on the other 
side — and in the nuclear age noth- 
ing is more vital — we must demon- 
strate rationality on our side. 

None of this will be easy. But 
it can be done. However painfully, 
we can arrive at a safer way to deal 
with the Russians. And if we do, 
our children and grandchildren 
can safely turn their attention to 
other vital issues closer to home.

The President and the Coach on

, uc) of the leading spokesmen 
on intercollegiate athletics appealed on 
the same platform in State College, 
Pennsylvania, in November. The occa- 
sion was a Brown alumni gathering the 
night before the Brown-Penn State 
game. The participants were Howard 
Swearer, president of Brown and a 
member of both a special National Col- 
legiate Athletic Association committee 
and a special American Council on 
Education committee, both studying 
the problems of intercollegiate athlet- 
ics; and joe Paterno '50, Penn State 
football coach and probably the best- 
known football coach in the country. 
What follows are excerpts from their 
answers to questions posed bv Gil San- 
tos, who does the Penn State football 
broadcasts on radio and who formerly 
was the plav-by-play announcer on 
radio broadcasts of Brown games. 

Are you in favor of eligibility for any 
athlete as a freshman? 

Paterno: I'd he in favor of eligibil- 
ity for freshmen in certain sports, 
sports that do not get the notoriety or 
where there isn't the kind of pressure 
you get from football and basketball. I 
don't have a good enough feel for soc- 
cer and women's sports as to whether 
freshmen should be eligible or not. I 
think the educators ought to be able to 
make that determination. 

Having freshmen be eligible for 
football is a bad experience for kids 
and deprives them of some of the 
things a normal student gets out of a 
university — the adjustment to univer- 
sity life, and the ability to come into an 
institution and just be a normal per- 
son. 

We have a kid by the name of D.J. 
Dozier, who is a gifted nthlete, but I'm 
sure nobody asks him anything about 
his family, or what he wants to do in 
life, or if he's interested in any particu- 
lar type of art ... they just want to 
know how he's going to clo tomorrow. 



Atu\ I tlon't think that's fair. 

I see a difference in altitude. Take 
a Marcus Dupree, which may be a 
way-out case. Nobody ever had a 
chance to sit down with a Marcus 
Dupree and just have him be a kid 
who was having some problems aca- 
demically and say "these are the things 
that are important." You don't ha\e to 
worry about pkiying on national televi- 
sion and things like that. 

I think there's got to be some kind 
of significant change in kids when thev 
come into a program such as ours or a 
program such as Oklahoma wheie 
there is national notoriety almost im- 
mediately, as to how they can keep 
their priorities. I think we've had to 
struggle with some kids who ordinarily 
would have been reallv good students 
and not had inanv problems, liut we've 
had to spend extra time with them and 
make them understand football is not 
the thing they came here for — even 
though we tokl them that originally. 

Swearer: Joe and I agree on this. 
I don't think there should be freshman 
eligibilitv for football plavers, but I 
also say that's true for basketball and 
hockev. They're just as intense and 
there are more contests in basketball 
and hockey. It just adds pressure in 
very high-intensity, high-publicity 
sports to get out there and perform. 

We've heard cases where students 
were high school heroes and now 
they're expected to go to college and 
be a hero their freshman year. The 
NCAA has recommended no freshman 
eligibilitv in basketball and football. 
Unfortunately nobody said anything 
about hockey; hockey is the same as 
basketbail, but doesn't get as much 
publicity. 

1 don't know whether this recom- 
mendation will carry at the NCAA 
con\ention [in )anuarv] because there 
is opposition out there on the part of 
some athletic directors and coaches. 
[The proposed legislation] is a little 
inconsistent because it probablv should 
be extended to all sports. When you 
talk about the length of time in prac- 
tice, men and women swimmers prob- 



ably practice almost as much as some 
football and basketball players. But 
thev don't get as much publicity . 

President Swearer, do you really be- 
lieve, as you wrote in the New York 
Times a year ago, that some schools 
should treat their athletes as profes- 
sionals and pay them? 

Swearer: There are unnamed 
schools that are tuiding themselves in 
that position. The moie you treat ath- 
letes simply as athletes, and less as stu- 
dents, the more likely that's going to 
happen. You all know there's money 
going under the table in some places. I 
couldn't prove it, but you sure hear 
enough about it. 

There are coiut rulings that are 
coming doyvn noyv that indicate the kid 
should be treated as an athlete and not 
so mucli as a student. I've wondered 
yvhy some of the players' iniions in the 
pros don't try to organize some of the 
college players. I'm not advocating 
this, but I think it may very well hap- 
pen. 

It might be a good idea at some 
schools to pav athletes. They could 
take courses if they want to, but they 
yvould not keep up the pretense that 
they are students, because they're not 
students. 

Paterno: 1 agree yvith Howard in 
the sense that in the dynamics of it all 
the college presidents are starting to 
enter tlie scene. Unless they take con- 
trol of the dynamics, [paving students] 
inay be an option. But I don't think 
that's an option 1 want to be involved 
in in intercollegiate athletics. I think 
we can do it differently. I think there 
are certain levels of competition. You 
take the Ivy League, yvhich has abso- 
lutely the best, and the Gettysburgs 
and Bucknells and Lehighs, wfiere the 
programs are self-supported in the 
sense that they are part of the educa- 
tional budget. 

Then you have the next level of 
competition and hopefully Penn State's 
in that one and so are the Pac-IO and 
Big Ten schools, yvhere vou reallv have 
the same kind of conuuitment: the 



Athletics

broad-based intercollegiate competition 
for all your students. We have twentv- 
nine intei collegiate sports here: four- 
teen men's, fourteen womens, and 
football. 

The problem we have is that we 
think our kids ought to be entitled to 
the level of competition they can play 
at. We have to supply that to oin- kids; 
that's important. 

We can't do it the way the Ivy 
League does it. Tomorrow, you'll see a 
stadium with 85,000 seats out there. 
That stadium pays for the twenty-eight 
other sports. This institution does not 
get a nickel [lor sports] from the state. 
With an endowment of S25 million, 
we're not in a position to underwrite a 
SlO-million athletic budget. So we have 
to generate revenues so our kids can 
go out there and have field hockev 
sticks, and the swimming pools can be 
maintained. But we've got to be care- 
ful we don't jeopardize the integritv of 
this institution, the meaning of the in- 
stitution, in order to do this. 

I think that the article written by 
Howard in the New York Times was 
very helpful and very far-sighted and 
hit the situation right in the numbers. 
I think we could come to that luiless 
the college presidents get invoked. 
Ever since that article and some oth- 
ers, college presidents have become 
more involved. They're nervous about 
college athletics. We owe Howard for 
having made that statement when he 
made it, even though I'm sure that at 
the time he got a couple of letters that 
weren't exactly complimentary. 

Do you recruit athletes who are 
significantly below the average aca- 
demic level of your average admitted 
student? 

Swearer: We do not recruit or 
admit anv athletes who we do not 
think will make it successfully academ- 
ically at Blown. I'm prettv confident of 
that. We will accept some athletes and 
some other types of students whose 
board scores are not up to the average 
of the student body as a whole, but we 
make all kinds of exceptions. We did a 




test riHi on our football team last vear 
and the average of the team was 
within one standard deviation of the 
entire student bodv. I'm prettv com- 
fortable with that. 1 think that's true of 
the Ivy League as a whole. You will 
find some athletes at Brown whose 
boards are below the average, but their 
rate of success in the College is at least 
equal to that of other students. 

Paterno: We certainly do admit 
students who inavbe do not meet the 
requirements of an average student, 
and the fact that thev happen to be 
athletes has some bearing on their be- 
ing admitted. It's not as bad as it was 
back in 1952 when I asked a kid what 
his IQ was and he told me 20-20. He 
told me he could rini 9.(i in the 10(1, 
so ... 

We are consistent in the sense that 
I don't want anybody at this place un- 
less we feel he can come and have a 
meaningfid educational experience 
and graduate. And if I have an out- 
standing athlete, or just a good athlete, 
and because of some reason — a broken 
home or a different school system or 
what have you — he's below average, 
but I think he can do it, we'll submit 
his name to the dean of admissions. If 
he tells me no, ordinarilv it's no. If I 
feel for some reason I ought to take it 
to the president, he will allow me to 
take it to the president. And the presi- 
dent may back me or he may not. 

Ordinarily we're talking about two 
or three kids a year whom I'll go to 
the clean of admissions with. But 
thev'ie not significantly lower; thev 
mav be 50-60 points lower on their col- 
lege boards. I think there are extenu- 
ating factors, but we've got to be able 
to prove that to the adinissions officer. 
If I can't prove it, then I don't want to 
go over his head, which I've only done 
twice in five years. 

But that's standard, everybodv in 
the country does that. There's no way 
to say that this or that makes a good 
applicant or bad applicant. Kids 
change between sixteen and eighteen. 
You get a gut feeling about certain 



kids and you want to go to bat for 
them. 

Do you foresee the day when grants- 
in-aid will disappear from college 
football and basketball and aid would 
be strictly on a need basis? 

Paterno: I'd love to see it, but I 
don't see it happening. I don't think 
that, across the country, you can have 
a need program you can monitor or 
govern without the cheating. I have 
mixed feelings about aid. I'm a little 
perturbed that we give grants and 
scholarships in non-athletic areas in 
institutions to get great students, re- 
gardless of the need factor. If you are 
going to do that, then I think it's hyp- 
ocritical to say that athletes have to be 
given aid only on a need basis. I know 
theie are people going to certain insti- 
tutions who don't have need, but are 
getting very, very substantial grants 
because that institution wants them. 

Swearer: About five years ago, 
there was a very close vote in the 
NCAA which almost did away with 
grants-in-aid. The Ivy League doesn't 
give grants, and I don't think it ever 
will. I don't think the NCAA will do 
away with them now; it's too late. A lot 
of coaches like grants-in-aid, because it 
gives them leverage over the athletes. 
That grant is tied to their playing 
football. We have students coming to 
Brown who have financial aid based on 
need, and we hope they will plav foot- 
ball, but if they don't, they still have 
their aid. 

Would college athletics be better off 
if schools could negotiate their own 
television contracts, rather than have 
the NCAA do it? 

Swearer: I think the Ivy League 
probablv could get on early-Sunday 
morning educational television. 

If individual schools were to nego- 
tiate their own contracts, you'd have a 
whole new situation in this country. 
Several things would happen. In my 
opinion, you'd have fifteen or twenty 
schools that would get almost all the 
revenue and get all the exposure.

There, amid ail the athletes 
from the Nehraskas and Texases 
and Ohio States, you'll see — if yon 
look hard enough — "John Wood- 
ring. 6'2", 232 poimds, 3 \ears. 
Brown University." You'll have to 
look carefully because linebackers 
seldom get mentioned on telexi- 
sion. And the linebackers from 
Brown who are playing in the Na- 
tional Football League and who 
get mentioned at all — well, you can 
count them on the thinnbs of one 
hand. 

1 he Jets are not known as one 
of the friendlier organizations in 
the twenty-eight-team NFL, as far 
as press relations are concerned. 
As the scjuad. recognized in e\erv 
pre-season poll as a legitimate 
Super Bowl contender, slid toward 
the cellar of the AFC Eastern Divi- 
sion this vear, a "circle-the-wag- 
ons" mentality permeated the 
front ofhce. Getting through the 
public relations department to ac- 
tually interview a player became 
about as easv as getting past the 
Dallas C>)wbo\s front line: It can 
certainly be done, but it definitely 
takes some persistence. 

The Bnnvn Ahiiinii Mnuth/\ 
finalh caught u|:) with |ohn 



Woodring '81 earl) last month, the 
day after the Jets suffered another 
unexpected loss. This defeat, their 
sixth in their hrst ten games, had 
come at the hands of the lightlv- 
regarded Baltimore Colts. 

The Jets train at Hofstra Uni- 
versity, which s(juats in the shadow 
of se\eral turnpikes and the Nas- 
sau Coliseum, smack in the heart 
of Long Island. Leam offices, 
meeting rooms, a weight room, 
locker room, and a couple of jarac- 
tice fields occupy a small section of 
the campus. There, in sinround- 
ings decidedly different from 
those of every other Brown man 
and woman who graduated with 
him, John Woodring works. 

Despite the pre\ious dav's 
debacle, Wcaodring was in a talka- 
tive, upbeat mood. Like the Jets, 
his season was mimicking a roller- 
coaster: racing giddily up to the 
top one moment, careening toward 
the bottom the next. He started 
the season on the bench, became a 
starter in the third game of the 
year following a big-play perform- 
ance against Seattle, then began 
seeing less and less playing time as 
the sputtering Jets searched fu- 
tilely for a winning combination. 
( Fhe week after we talked with 
hiin, Woodring was again a starter. 
He recovered a fimible and broke 
up a pass attempt on a fake field 
goal against the Buffalo Bills 
— though once again the Jets lost.) 

Woodring was in a good mood 
because that is his basic nature, 
and because he had plaved well 
against the Colts, though he did 
not plav much. Besides, football is 
a game of platoons: .A team is less 
a forty-nine-man squad than two 
separate units, offensi\e and de- 
fensive, which are further di\ided 
into such sub-y roups as the front 



line, the linebackers, and the sec- 
ondary. The defensive corjjs, in- 
cluding the linebackers, had per- 
formed decenth against Baltimore; 
it was the offense that had thrown 
the game away. 

Monday is a light day in the 
weekh routine (jf a professional 
football pla\er. The pla\ers watch 
films of the |3revious day's game, 
listen to the coaches' analvses of 
what went right and what went 
wrong, then hit the weights for an 
easy workout, piimarily to get rid 
of whatever kinks and aches have 
accumulated from the day before. 
Onlv on Mondays, we were told, 
could Jet plavers spend an\' 
amount of time in inter\iews with 
the "non-daih press." 

w 

T W oodring is a gentle- 
looking \()ung man whose glasses, 
easy smile, and thoughtful words 
belie the stereotvpical image of a 
professional football pla\er as a 
fierce, grunting behemoth who 
would rather eat nails than food, 
w hose idea of a classy drink is beer 
in a mug, and whose speech is 
studded with four-letter words not 
often found in alumni magazines. 
He seemed glad to be able to talk 
to a [)ublication such as this, rather 
than to the usual New York media 
that ha\e seemed almost gleeful all 
\ear in savaging his team. 

He was eager to dispel the 
m\(h of the NFL as a haven for 
anti-intellectual, moralh deficient 
dolts. '■'Fhis is not a business for 
dummies by any means," he noted, 
"■^'ou defmiteh' have to be smart to 
pla\ pro ball, because there are so 
main different situations in which 




John Woodring relaxes before a practice session at Hofstra University. 



\()ii lia\e to tliink. \'ou lia\e to 
think on the field, and yon ha\e to 
think off it, too. Piofessional foot- 
ball is a megamillion-dollar busi- 
ness, and there are all kinds of 
situations which come u]3 that \o\\ 
have to be ready for." 

Linebackers in particular need 
a special degree of intelligence. 
Theirs is perhaps the most creatise 
of all defensive positions in foot- 
ball. A linebacker is on his own 
more than other defenders: 
Whereas the plavers on the line 
are looking primarily to stop the 
rush, and those in the secondary 
are concerned mostly with stop- 
ping the pass, linebackers ha\e to 
think aboiu both options. "We 
have more to digest, mcjre to react 
to," Woodring explained. "We 
have to think through so manv 
things on e\ery play: what down it 
is. what the score is, the distance 
from the goal line, which wa\ the 
wind is blowing, what the other 
team did in similar situations ear- 
lier in the game, ^'ou ha\e to be 
mentally alert e\er\ second \ou'ie 
in there." 

Still, linebacking is essentially 
an anon\mous job. Few fans — or 



e\en sportswriters. toi that mat- 
ter — single out linebackers b) 
name. Every Jet fan has heard of 
the famous "Sack Exchange," led 
by Mark Gastineau, the most 
Hambo\ant New "^'ork dancer since 
John Travolta. Few ha\e heard of 
the name John Woodring; fewer 
still would recogni/e him on the 
street. 

But anonymity doesn't bother 
him — or his fellow linebackers. 
"We tend to make it an anonv- 
mous position. We're not show\ , so 
we don't get much recognition. 
But I don't tieed the roar of the 
crowd, or lines in the paper, to sat- 
isfy myself. I'm satisfied inwardly 
if I know that I pla\ed a good 
game and contribiued to the team. 
Then I can be happ\ for the 
whole week." 

But if fans and the media 
don't notice linebackers, football 
people do. And the Jet coaches 
and scouts have been noticing 
W'oodring for some time. They 
drafted him in the sixth round in 
1981, after his fine Brown career. 
The Jets were impressed with this 
Philadelphia-area native who had 
earned first-team All-Ivv, first- 



team All-New England, and hon- 
orable-mention AP All-.America 
honors in both 1979 and 1980. His 
senior year was especiallv outstand- 
ing, as he led the Bruins with 135 
tackles (ninety-seven of them so- 
los), and added four interceptions. 

He played twelve gaines dur- 
ing his rookie season with the Jets. 
Before a knee injurv sidelined 
him, he was their top special-teams 
pla\er. (The special teams are 
units that cover kickoffs and 
punts; a unique type of kamikaze 
spirit is necessar\ lo excel as a spe- 
cial-teams player.) 

In 1982, he played in nine 
games, starting one (when Stan 
Blinka was suspended). He came 
through with a strong perform- 
ance—nine tackles — in that game, 
against Tampa Bay, and ended the 
season rated second on the special 
teams. (The Jets, like all pro 
teams, utilize an elaborate rating 
system to grade players each week. 
Each plaver's position on the 
"depth chart" is subject to game- 
b\-game scrutiny.) 

This season, with the Jets 
floundering, Woodring substituted 
for Blinka in the third quarter of 



51 



the tliiril game, against Seattle. 
"To tell VDii ilie tiiitli. I was sur- 
piised wiieii tliev put me in." he 
said. l're\ioiisl\ , lie had been used 
iniuel\ \Miii die special teams, m 
on go.il-line stands. (".i\eii his 
ihaiue to stait as a linebatkei 
against the Seahawks, Woodiing 
earned praise tor two solid tackles 
that led to fumbles, one of which 
he ieco\ered himself. 

Replacing Blinka was not easy 
tor Woodring. The linebackers are 
a cioseh-knit group. Their lockers 
are near each other: they sit to- 
gether at meetings and on air- 
planes, and go out togettier in the 
evenings on the road. "Basically, 
we're all cut from the same mold," 

'People hear I'm on the 
Jets, and all of a sudden 
they're my best friend' 

he said. "We're all 6'2", we're all 
230, we're all white, and we're all 
slow." Ironicalh, three of the Jet 
linebackers are from Penn State: 
Lance Mehl, Greg Buttle, and Ron 
Crosby. Woodring endured plent\ 
of good-natured ribbing from that 
trio as the Bruins' date with the 
Nittany Lions approached in No- 
vember. Woodring had the last 
laugh, though: He took the points 
and won .SIO from each of tliem.

ut life in the NFL is not 
all fun and games (or at least all 
games; the Jets have not had much 
fun this season). There is the fu- 
ture to think about, and Woodring 
has given that plenty of thought. 
An NFL career is no guarantee of 
success in the "real world" after 
one's playing days are over, and 
teams cut players the way Liz Tay- 
lor sheds husbands. A five-year 
player is a true veteran: a ten-year 
man is a fossil. 

In a wav, Woodring says, he 
envies his classmates who are just 
starting out on career paths, or 
who may still be in graduate 
school — despite his higher salarv 
and, just two-and-a-half years out 




Woodring became a starter this year. 

of college, such middle-class pos- 
sessions as a house. (He shares that 
house in Port Washington, Long 
Lsland, with his wife of se\en 
months, Eva Lagergren '80. She 
commutes to New York City every 
day, though, so "so far in our 
marriage, we haven't seen each 
other a heck of a lot," Woodring 
laughed.) 

"I don't consider mvself em- 
ployed right now. I think Lm still 
just playing at games, pla\ing at 
working," he admitted. "But I can 
be out of football at any moment. 
You have to be properly prepared 
for that, and Lm not sine I am." 

He compared the world of pro 
football to the world of Brown. 
"You're protected in both worlds. 
At Brown, vou're unaware of the 
real world. You don't pav any bills, 
you don't empty \(jur own gar- 
bage, you don't even ha\e to cook 
for yourself. Lm protected by the 
world of football. Lve still got 
people doing things for me. Peo- 
ple hear Lm on the Jets, people 
who wouldn't normally gi\e me 
the time of day, and all of a sud- 
den, they're my best friend. But 
it's a very brief lite, a \ery insecure 
profession, and when I get out, Fll 
just be starting whatever Lm do- 
ing. Most of my classmates will al- 
ready be out of law school or med 
school or B-school, or whatever." 

Woodring is already thinking 
about that dav when he is out ot 
football. He spent one off-season 



working in Ri\'erhead, Long Is- 
land, in an NFL-sponsored |jro- 
gram called Goals tor 'Youth. He 
acted as a role model, helping 
children of migrant workers set 
goals for themselves. Fhis year, 
the apjjiied math and economics 
concentrator would like to try 
working during the off-season on 
Wall Street "to use my brains 
rather than mv brawn in a job, 
doing something I really have to 
study for. Football has always 
come easv for me: I've always been 
good at it. " 

He appreciates the Brown 
experience and is certain it will 
come in handy when his playing 
davs are over. "The main thing I 
got out of Brown was decision- 
making and problem-solving. 
Brown taught me how to take a 
problem and look at it in many 
different wavs. And one thing that 
struck me, almost from day one, 
was the diversit\ of people there. 
There were people from all walks 
of life, from all sorts of different 
countries. I realh came to appreci- 
ate that. It's true that as a football 
player — a jock, if vou will — I spent 
most of my time with other ath- 
letes, but later I was able to branch 
out. As you grow with Brown and 
spend time there, you can really 
take advantage of it. I'm fairly cer- 
tain I did." 

John Woodring did not choose 
Brown because he wanted to be- 
come a professional football 
player. He went there because of 
"the excellent educational oppor- 
tunities, the New Curriculum — 
and, of course, because the team 
was pla\ing winning football." He 
is pleased with that decision and 
approves wholeheartedly of the 
school's current approach to athlet- 
ics. "We're preparing people to 
sohe the problems of the world, 
not to pla\ in the NFL. I think just 
about e\ervbod\ knows which is 
more important. "

BEARING THE NEWS 



A potpourri of alumni activities 



On the Road 
at Penn State 

"Brown on the Road" is officially 
described as "a program of activities 
surrounding an away football game 
which focuses on developing relation- 
ships between facultv and alumni in 
the region and includes opportunities 
to interact with students, alumni lead- 
ership workshops, and social gather- 
ings." The program, now in its third 
year, had its most successful day — until 
this year — at William and Mary last 
year when about 500 turned out for 
the \arious events. 

The Penn State weekend in No- 
vember may have set a standard for 
future programs. The State College 
piess reported that between 2,000 and 
3,000 Brown alumni were on hand for 
the game. Brown On the Road spon- 
sored a dinner on the Friday night 
before the game which featured a 
panel discussion on college athletics 
with President Swearer and Joe Pa- 
terno (page 48). A capacity crowd of 
250 attended. There was a reception 
for alumni after the gaine and another 
capacity-crowd dinner Saturday night. 

Although Brown had been ridiculed 
by many in the media for scheduling 
the game with Penn State, the team's 
fine performance in the game changed 
that. Spuil.s Uhisliatcd, for instance, car- 
ried a photograph of Paterno with the 
Brown Bear and quoted Paterno; 
"We're tickled pink that Brown 
thought enough of our program to 
come here. It assuages that grim, big- 
time football image we have." SI com- 
mented that "that image was further 
assuaged bv Brown's performance on 
the field ... Brown gained 410 yards, 
60 more that it did against winless 
Vale." The magazine also quoted co- 
captain John Daniel about the team's 
pleasure in playing Penn State: 'If you 
were a flute player and you got a 
chance to play for the New York Phil- 
harmonic, you'd take it whether you 
were good enough or not. " 

The weekend turned out to be a 



great one for Brown, and no alumnus 
was more pleased than Paterno. After 
the game, he told Howard Swearer: "I 
really feel it was great for Brown to play 
us and felt from the beginning that the 
Brown kids would rise to the occasion. 
Let me again tell you how I feel about 
the Ivy League not playing people such 
as Penn State. I reallv feel it is unfair 
not to give the kids an opportunity to 
plav against the best in football when 
you allow them to do so in all the other 
sports. I am well aware that we have 
more speed and depth than Brown had, 
but a lot of individual members of the 
Brown team had a chance to measure 
up one-on-one versus some of our play- 
ers, and I know they came away feeling 
much better about their ability and they 
had a competitive experience they will 
remember all their li\es. Hopefully, we 
in college football believe what we say in 
that participation in college sports is a 
meaningful part of their education. I 
think an experience such as the one the 
Brown team had versus Penn State is 
important. I was pleased with the ways 
things went and very proud of the way 
my alma mater played." 



In honor of 
Ed Brackett 

When Edward T. Biackett '14 was 
killed by a hit-and-run driver last Jan- 
uary 3, Brown's Vice President for 
University Relations Robert A. Reich- 
ley commented that "Ed Brackett's in- 
terests were so diverse that you would 
bump into him at a lecture, a concert, 
or an athletic event. The bottoin line 
was that he had a lifelong love affair 
with Brown University. " 

In honor of Ed, who had been in- 
volved in every aspect of Brown's activ- 
ities and who, even at ninetv, still at- 
tended alinost every Brown football 
game, the Brown Club of Boston has 
donated the Edward T. Brackett Tro- 
phy, to be given each year to the 
player who has "demonstrated the 



greatest improvement in his perform- 
ance on the football field." The plaque 
on the trophy notes that "By woid and 
deed [Ed Brackett] actively supported 
and promoted the improvement of 
Brown and its football program longer 
than any other living person. " 

The trophy was presented, on be- 
half of the Boston club, to Coach John 
Anderson last fall by club vice presi- 
dent Charles J. Casey '51 and former 
club president John W. Kaufmann '63. 

New alumni directory 
to be published 

The Alumni Relations Office has 
contracted with the Harris Publishing 
Company to publish an updated 
alumni directory. The directory will 
replace the one produced by Harris in 
1979 and, according to Sallie K. Riggs 
'62, associate vice president for univer- 
sity relations and director of Brown's 
alumni relations program, is another 
in the series of projects designed to 
enhance communication among 
aknnni. 

The publication process will involve 
sending a brief questionnaire to each 
alumnus or alunuia with a request to 
provide accuiate address and occupa- 
tion information. "Those question- 
naires, in the form of a return card, 
will be arriving at alumni homes soon," 
Riggs adds, "and we would appreciate 
alumni completing them and returning 
them to us quickly." 

The diiectory will be published 
next fall and will be divided into four 
sections. The hrst part will contain pic- 
tures and information about Brown 
and will be followed by an alphabetical 
section with individual listings on each 
alumnus. Entries will include name, 
class year, degree, and professional 
information such as Job title, firm 
name, address, and telephone number, 
as well as home address and phone 
number. The third section will list 
alumni by class, and the last will list 
alunmi geogiaphically by city, state, 
and foreign country. 

All of the information in the direc- 
tory will be researched and compiled 
by Harris in substantially the same way 
it produced the 1979 directory. The 
information obtained through the 
questionnaires in February and March 
will be verihed through phone calls in 
June and ]ulv. Each alumnus will be 
given an opportunity to order the di- 
rectory when his or her information is 
veiihed by phone.

drove to Los Angeles. From there they 
flew to Oahu and stayed two weeks. 
Then they spent six days on Hawaii

Rhode Island Chorale, but are now- 
concentrating on fixing up their his-

have been there in June for our 45th 
but being married to an internist and 
ha\ing a son-in-law who is a cardiac 
surgeon in Tampa, Fla., I have to bow 
to the medical profession. Paul and 
Sue, with my four grandchildren (one 
of whom was born m February), were 
here in June for their annual vacation. 
We were most fortunate in 1934 when 
we became freshmen at Pembroke Col- 
lege. I am most grateful for the close- 
ness of our classinates and the oiialitv 
of our staff and teachers both at Pem- 
broke and at Brown. The world was 
thrown open to us and we hungrily 
grabbed it — and its effect on us, and 
ours on it, has served us confidentlv all 
of our lives. Love to all of \ou. "

most interesting. I had been to Niag-

on the S.S. Veracruz from Montreal was 
fim. We went down the St. Lawrence, 
up the Saguenay and back, and into 
the .Atlantic. We stopped at Quebec, 
then Halifax, and then went through

Life Income Plan #1 
Brown Income Fund 

You can make a substantial gift to 
Brown, receive an income tax 
deduction and, at the same time, 
retain a lifetime income through 
our pooled fund, the Brow^n Income 
Fund. 

Your contribution will be pooled 
with other gifts and invested in 
this special fund. You can designate 
one or two beneficiaries who will 
then receive the interest income 
for life. 

The interest that the high yield 
Brown Income Fund generates does 
vary with the market, but it has 
always been extremely competi- 
tive. Currently, the Fund is return- 
ing approximately io% in interest 
to its participants. 

A minimum contribution of $5,000 
is required to participate in the 
Brown Income Fund, but additional 
gifts of only $1,000 can be added 
at any time.

Life Income Plan #2 
Unitrust 

If you would like to have your 
vei7 own trust, with a sepa- 
rately invested portfolio, a char- 
itable remainder unitrust can 
be designed for you. Like our 
pooled income fund, a unitrust 
provides the benefits of lifetime 
income and a charitable tax 
deduction. The advantage of the 
unitrust, however, is its flexi- 
bility in adapting to individual 
investment objectives and rate 
of return. 

A specific percentage of the mar- 
ket value of the unitrust is paid 
to the donor each year. Since the 
trust assets are revalued annu- 
ally, the income received each 
year will vary. 

A minimum contribution of 
$25,000 is required to establish 
a unitrust. Additional gifts of 
$1,000 can be added at any time.

Life Income Plan #3 
Annuity Trust 

If you want to rely upon a fixed 
yearly trust income without 
worrying about the fluctuations 
of the market, an annuity trust 
may be just the thing for you. 

An annuity trust provides for 
lifetime income and a charitable 
deduction. Unlike our other life 
income plans, however, the 
annuity trust pays a fixed dollar 
amount annually for life, rather 
than an amount that varies with 
the market. This amount will 
remain unchanged and may not 
be less than 5 percent of the 
trust assets. 

A minimum $25,000 gift is nec- 
essary to establish an annuity 
trust. No additional contribu- 
tions can be made to the trust.

MAGAZINER

()\eiali (lf\cl()|)iiUMii ol our iiidiis- 
trial econonn " 

^'oii are such a iiH-tliodita! 
thinker, Magaziner is told. Have 
you ever done anything craz\, or 
spur-of-the-moment? 

"Well," and he laughs, "mv 
wife would say that taking on the 
Rhode Island project was crazy." 
But how about serendipity — where 
does that fit into vour life? " That's 
in m\ personal life." (Pause.) "And 
I won't talk about that." Oh. 

Nevertheless, it eventually is 
revealed that Magaziner professes 
a very ordinary childhood, in 
which he "watched a kn of televi- 
sion and read a lot of books, I 
liked television in those days, with 
all the good guys and bad guys, 
and the good guys believed in 
something. " 

It is also revealed that, while 
most of his interests have taken a 
back seat to the Murrav Commis- 
sion study this past year, Maga- 
ziner used to play tennis and likes 
basketball — "You know, play- 
ground sorts of games from mv 
New York background," He and 
his wife occasionally go out to the 
theatre or to concerts ("Rhode Is- 
land's really good for that sort of 
thing"). He would love to have 
more time to go to baseball games. 

"I'm still a Yankees fan, which 
makes me very unpopular in 
Rhode Island. It's \erv difficult to 
be a Yankees fan these clays. I 
don't appro\e of Steinbrenner's 
management — instead of trying to 
develop his people, he's alwavs 
buying and selling. But I'm still a 
fan. I never missed a home opener 
until I went to Oxford. In fact, 
one time — and I don't think I've 
ever mentioned this — I was a sen- 
ior at Brown, and there was a cru- 
cial meeting of the curriculum 
committee scheduled for the dav 
the ^'ankees opened. I insisted the 
meeting had to be postponed, and 
I went down and caught the game. 
But I never gave that as the rea- 
son, of course!" 

He would like someda\ to take 
his son to baseball games. In gen- 



eral, he would like to spend much 
more lime with his family. Al- 
though he has attempted to 
shorten the length of his business 
trips, he is often away from home, 
'I'm hoping if we can succeed in 
getting over the hump with this 
election [the Cireenhouse Compact 
referendum], things will settle 
down to a more normal pace. " 

Magaziner has been home tor 
exactly a week since his trip to 
Sweden. In two days he will leave 
for several weeks in Japan. Mean- 
while, there are more meetings to 
attend, more speeches to make. 



Q 



n every other folding 
metal chair there is an ashtray, 
and the walls are covered with 
posters linking the labor move- 
ment and patriotism. This meeting 
hall is in the headquarters of the 
United Food & Commercial Work- 
ers, Local 328A, on Silver Spring 
Street in Providence. A Chrysler 
LeBaron parked out front bears a 
bumper sticker with the American 
flag and the bold statement, "I'm 
LInion and Damn Proud of It!" 

It is 7 p,m,, and an informa- 
tional forum for labor leaders and 
union members is slated to begin. 
No one seems in a hurry. Two of 
the speakers, both members of the 
Murray Commission, talk casually 
with people trickling in the door. 
Both men are somewhat stocky 
and have a confident bearing; they 
seem accustomed to being in 
charge, Da\ id Barricelli is business 
agent in Rhode Island for the In- 
ternational Union of Bricklayers 
and Allied Craftsmen. Edward 
McElroy is president of the 
AFL-CIO and the Rhode Island 
Federation of Teachers. 

Ira Magaziner arrives at 7:25, 
and the panel discussion begins. 
McElroy speaks first. "I was very 
skeptical about getting involved in 
this process at first," he says. In 
fact, the AFL-CIO initially had 
refused to cooperate or participate 
unless the two-\ear-old Brown and 
Sharpe Manufacturing Companv 



strike was settled. "In the past, 
we've gotten involved and nothing 
has happened, or we've gotten 
involved and labor has gotten 
killed." 

McElroy says that for the hrst 
time, a study has been done "with 
a data base and analysis that we 
can trust. We have an absolute ob- 
ligation as leaders of a social 
nio\ement to make sure the peo- 
ple we represent have a shot at a 
piece of a bigger economic pie." 
Hope for that, he says, is con- 
tained in "all of those 2,000 pages. 
Ira likes to call it 1,000 pages," 
McElroy says with a grin, resting 
his hand on Magaziner's shoulder, 
"because then he sucks people into 
reading it all ... It's reallv 1,000 
pages, both sides!" Evervone, in- 
cluding the object of this little jest, 
laughs. 

"The more gutsy a proposal 
is," McElro) sa)S, "the more 
difhcult it is to agree on. But we 
ha\e \ery little time, as a state, to 
tiun things aroiuid. We're very 
fortiuiate to have known this guy." 
The hand returns to Magaziner's 
shoulder. "He's probably the busi- 
est guv in the state. I like going up 
to his office and seeing the little 
sign: 'Telesis, branches in Pro\i- 
dence, Paris, and Melbourne.' 
That's classy for Providence! Imag- 
ine how a guy in Paris feels when 
he walks up to the Telesis office 
and sees the sign with "Providence' 
on it. 

"And I never got a call from 
Japan in m\ life, except now Ira 
calls me from Japan. I thought it 
was one of you guys pulling my 
leg. This is a man of incredible \'i- 
sion. He has forced us to look 
forward." 

McElroy retinns to his chair, 
chainsmoking in front of a large 
sign on an easel: "No Smoking 
Please." It is hot in the union hall, 
and after rising Magaziner re- 
moves his suit jacket. Under the 
classic charcoal suit, it turns out, 
he is wearing an incongruous 
short-sleeved shirt; a tee-shirt is 
\isible underneath. Somehow this 
integrates him even better with the 
environment. He appears to be 
another worker with his sleeves 



rolled up, read)' to start laving 
bricks in a brand-new wall. 

"We started out looking for 
high-technology jobs, because 
that's where everyone said the fu- 
ture was," Magaziner begins. This 
speech is going to be a little differ- 
ent from the one the Harvard 
Club heard. "So we decided to 
define high-tech jobs as the ones 
needing the most continuous train- 
ing in order to do the job. And we 
foimd that the best example in the 
world of a high-tech job was the 
pulling guard on a pro football 
team." His remaining words are 
nearl)' drowned in a peal of laugh- 
ter. "That guard spends aboiu a 
total of an horn- a year on the 
field, but he trains forty to fiftv 
hours a week for it." 

Later he says, "I had a dream 
which is my own personal night- 
mare. I was stuck in an elevatoi 
with a bimch of labor-relations 
lawyers arguing about strikers' 
benefits." The subject is a sore one 
in Rhode Island. "I think we're 
always going to be talking aboiU 
strikers' benefits. We've found that 
fees for lawyers who handle un- 
emplo\ment benefits are five times 
higher here than in any other 
state. The workers aren't getting 
paid as soon, and the businesses 
are getting hurt. We'd like to 
speed up the process and cut the 
lawyers out of it. Ever>one knows 
lawyers always land on their feet 
anvwa\ ." 

When it is time for questions, 
there are many, and some of them 
are pithy. One man suggests that 
the commission's insistence that a 
February referendum is preferable 
to one later in the spring, or even 
next fall, amoiuits to "pushing this 
through. There's an issue of de- 
mocracy here." Magaziner, stand- 
ing, leans forward on the table. 
"VVhat would you suggest are the 
alternatives?" The questioner starts 
to interrupt. "No — I'm serious," 
Magaziner cuts him off. "I'd pre- 
fer to have it later than Februarv 
too, but we don't want to wait luitil 
next November. If we do, we'll be 
in a recession by the following 
sinnmer." 

Ira Magaziner is perspiring. 



Cigarette smoke swirls around 
him; through it he gazes at the 
crowd. Never mind that it's almost 
9:30 and he's been going since 
early morning. He looks relaxed, 
at h(jme, excited ... happy. 



ATHLETICS 

rontinued 
Eventually they would ha\e to play 
among themselves, and they would be 
professionals, no question about it. 

That's \\h\ most imi\ersities don't 
want to negotiate their own contracts. 
Most of the big schools — members of 
the College Football Association (CFA), 
the Big Ten, the Pac-10 — feel they 
would get a sufficient piece of the pie 
under any kind of collective arrange- 
ment. But there is a certain suspicion 
on the part of some of these university 
presidents tliai tliere are some schools 
diat might get a little greedy and want 
to go ahead and negotiate their own 
television contracts. 

Paterno: I ddii't think there's any 
(|uestion that the most responsible 
people want some type of plan that 
would give some control, whether 
\(Hi're talking se\enty or eigiit\ schools 
or the entire NCAA membership. 1 
personalh feel the N(>.A.\ plan as we 
have had it has put us in a position 
where we have diminishing latings. 
rhe kind of monev a\ ailable to schools 
would e\entually be available to the 
entire NCAA membership. People 
have to understand that the CFA. 
made up of about sixt\ schools, has 
never at anv time irUended not to give 
the NCAA a certain })eicentage of the 
television mone\ . 

We have felt that some of the 
Nt:AA's marketing ideas, such as not 
ha\'ing prime-tiiue television, have 
really hindered oiu" ability to sell college 
footfjall. It's kind of interesting to real- 
ize that college football attendance is 
up and up and up. and \et television 
lalings are down and down and down. 

I'm for some kind of control. I'm 
not sure exactly what the control is. I 
certainly don't want to see Penn State 
negotiating on its own, and I certainly 
would not want to be negotiating on 
our own against Notre Dame, negotiat- 
ing on its own. 

Is college athletics still being con- 
ducted in the true amateur spirit in 
which it started a hundred years ago.' 
Paterno: Absolutely not.

WILDERNESS PLOTS l>\ Scoll R. San- 
ders -hi. WiUum Momnv. 1983. 12,S 
pa ires. 

Wildenu'ss Plots is not jiisl a new 
book: It also introduces a new (if 
rather modest) literary genre. While 
researching a novel set in the Ohio 
Vallev area, Scott Sanders came upon 
brief references to the men and wom- 
en who settled there in the late 170()s 
and earlv 1800s. The Indiana Univer- 
sity professor became intrigued, and 
instead of working on his novel, he 
began to write short, four-or-fi\e 
paragraph tales that centered on an 
event, or on the life of a person or 
family — usualh "the unmemorialized 
common folks, the carpenters and 
farmers, the fierce parents and moon- 
struck lovers." These are collected in 
Wilderness Plols. 

Sanders explains in his forward 
that, though based on historical facts, 
they are stories rather than histories: 
"When, in my reading. I turned up a 
character whose exploits or sufferings 
touched me, I wrote a narrative about 
him or her. Often I had no more than 
a sentence to work from, rarelv more 
than a paragraph, because the people 
who appealed to me most were the 
obscure ones, whose names show up 
only in out-of-the-way chronicles . . ." 

Many of the stories are like tinv 
biographies. "Cutting Road" tells in 
less than two pages how Ebenezer 
Zane and his seven grown sons hacked 
a bridle path through an Ohio forest 
for the goxernmeni. ".\nd how many 
hundred miles of chopping is that?" 
demands his skeptical wife. "I won't 
know till I walk it," savs he. Ebenezer 
has the ability to see roads where there 
are only trees, so he and his sons begin 
chopping. "They rose each morning to 
wrap callused hands around the hick- 
ory handles. They swung the liiades in 
time to songs Ebenezer sang." In the 
end, the government (which remains a 
rather mysterious presence in the tale) 
rewards him with a grant of 400 acres 
of land. 

Despite Ebenezer's hardiness and 




his good fortune, one mustn't come 
away with the idea that these are all 
inspiring legends about Paul Bunyan- 
like pioneers. In "The Cold," the first 
white child born in Pilgrim County 
starves to death on the sixtieth day of 
snow. Benjamin Bigsby, in "Getting 
There," finds that the land he bought 
from a speculator in New Hampshire 
is a good deal more remote than he 
had anticipated. "When the weather 
cleared he picked his way through ice 
to Cleveland, which consisted of one 
log cabin at the mouth of the Cuya- 
hoga River. The resident of Cleveland 
advised him that the river, where it 
was not frozen, was treaclierous with 
rapids." 

Several of the 'Wilderness Plots" 
are essentially catalogues. "The Nam- 
ing of Names" is a collection of anec- 
dotes that explain the origin of the 
names of Ohio's rivers and towns. 
"Asked to name the village into which 
she had just moved. Widow Amariah 
Wheelock called it Freedom, to signify 
that she and most of her new neigh- 
bors had escaped debts or jail terms by 
settling there. " The final stor\ in the 



ijook, "" Ihe Manner of I heir Dying,'" 
reports in short sentences how some of 
the settlers died: "'While his brother 
was stealing honey, Isiael Coe diverted 
a swarm of bees, which stung him to 
death. Samantha Fra/er died from 
having her tooth extracted by the 
blacksmith. F.liakim Goss drank too 
much tanglefoot whiskey while out 
surveying, and that dire liquid, plus 
the heat, finished him off." 

Oljviously relishing these, Sanders 
sa\es his best for last: "On her way to 
church, Jemima Palmer was surprised 
by two calves jimiping from the 
bushes, and she fell d(jwn on the spot, 
dead of wonder. " 

We are told that Sanders's "plots" 
are not histories, but it's clear that they 
ha\e a strong historical element. 
Should they be called stories or storv 
fragments? Prose pieces or, perhaps, 
prose poems? None of the labels seem 
quite right, as if the book itself is stub- 
born about its territor\ . In its simple 
fashion, it manages to break some new 
ground and does so without seeming 
gimmicky or, in any way, "a\ant 
garde." Wilderness Plots gives us what 
we want — stories about people — and 
Sanders has crafted these stories with 
skill. In this sense, it is a perfect collec- 
tion, whether we can think of a name 
for it or not. 



THE CHEECHAKO by Lawson M. Ald- 
ruh 33. Down East Books, 1982. 183 
pages. 

The Cheechako. subtitled "A Restau- 
rateur's Reminiscences," is a collection 
of recipes and Lawson Aldrich's favor- 
ite anecdotes from his long career as 
owner of The Cheechako restaurant in 
Damariscotta, Maine. The restaurant's 
motto is, "We do not serve, nor are 
any of om' foods prepared with, 
ketchup." 

Aldrich provides seveial good rea- 
sons for this decision, both serious and 
hinnorous, and explains how to pre- 
pare those dishes that are served in 
The Cheechako as well as a number of 
other "old favorites." At the end of the 
book, he is gracious enough to give 
away two of tlie restaurant's se- 
crets — recipes for a champagne punch 
and for tlie Cheechako Special cock- 
tail.
