Here's a peek at what fascinates the faculty when they're not grading papers or applying for grants. Saturday at Home Homecoming is a festive day — an ele- gant tailgate party and a fistful of multi- colored balloons go a long way towards assuaging the blues when you're being beaten by the visiting team. Photogra- pher John Foraste recorded the tips and downs of October 13 at Brown Stadium. X-Rated The issue of what pornography is, and how available it should be, may never be resolved. But Psychologist Ferdinand Jones of Brown's student psychological services is sure that pornography not only victimizes women, but also damages the emotional growth of boys and young men. In this essay, he explains why. Everything from Boy George to Cole Porter A cappella singing groups are enjoying a renaissance at Brown. And they have changed with the times, reflecting mod- ern pop trends as well as Ivy League tradition, reports Cynthia Hanson '86. 'I'm Dick Walton and I'm Running for Vice President' That guy with the long gray beard and a stack of leaflets isn't just another protestor with a cause; he's Richard Walton '51 and he spent the past year on the stump. With former Mormon housewife and now-ardent ERA sup- porter Sonia Johnson, Walton repre- sented the Citizens' Party in the presidential elections.

I refer especially to letters by P.iul Minilie '68 (excessive concern over nuclear war), and Arlhiir Kajslan '29 (the lolh of (li\estiline). When the LIniversity announced a policy of South African divestilui e I was dislres.sed to see Brown falling in line with the trendy politics of libera- tion. It was inevitable, though, given the accommodatioTis to special interest grou|)s made by the University over the p.ist twenty years, and the steady politi- ci/alion of the facullv. Nevertheless, it seems to me that those who manage the endowment have both a moral and a fiduciary respon.sibility to invest pru- dently and for maximum growth all monies contributed by alumni and Unixeisitv friends. I'hat the monev manageis bowed to the |)olitical demands of a strident minority tells us tint at Hrown h\|30(ri- sy is alive and nourishing. Surely the University has more seemly blooms to tend. HOWARD HUNT '40 Mi /I mi ROTC (continued) Editor: 1 am soriy to see the issue of RO'i'C; raising its ugly head again. 1 suppose that it was naive of me to thin that, once we got it off campus, the is- sue would remain dead forever, as it ought to. This issue is not one of defense. (Ihe military doesn't do mucli in the wav of defense, anyway. It spends most of its lime and our mone\ on offense, on killing people in small, weak coun- tries where they are trying to get rid of corrupt, authoritarian governments. This country was founded by such a revolution and it is hypocritical, nay, criminal for the U.S. to be subverting the efforts of others to do the same as we did.) The issue is whether the peo- ple at Brown want to associate them- selves in any way with and contribute to the growth of the military machine. I, for one, say we should not. The military has its own schools for training soldiers how to best kill and maim people. We don't need to be any part of that here. No one who wants to enter the militarv is being injured as an individu- al by this absence of RO I'C at Brown. I hey may still attend school here. They may even receive military scholarships. That is their business, and it should remain that way. Mr. Stephen Stone showed his true colors when he favoied the authoritar- ian l\ pe of answer to such a cjuestion — that the administration should de- cide, without an\ ty|)e of demociatic forni of making the decision. As lor his insult to the faculty, that kind of nasty remark says a lot more about the makei; than the intended receivers of it. I We, as more or less average citi- zens, have IK) input into the making of I the militarv and political policies of thi countT V. the policies do not reflect oui needs, desires, or best interests, as the recent poll on the nuclear arms race sc clearly demonstrates. Under these cir- cumstances, I think that we should not cooperate in any way in helping to car rv them out. In this case, that implies maintaining things as they are, with RO 1(1 not present at Brown. BRUCK A. CLARK '70 Pxwidtnice Songs of the Theater A Definitive Index to the Songs of the Musical Stage ^ '\'"-" By Richard Lewine and Alfred Simon The perfect gift for all those who love the music of Broad- way, this book is the ideal source for both serious reference and 'Irivial pursuit." It provides the answers to such frequently asked questions as "Who wrote that song?" and 'What show is It from?" Cover- ing some 17,000 songs from over 1,200 Broadway and off-Broadway shows — from Robin Hood (1891) to Sunday in the Park witli George (1983), the book includes film and television songs written by theater composers and lyricists. The Song section contains 17,000 entries that give the names of composer and lyricist, the name of the show in which the song ap- peared, the year the show opened. Show section entries give the open- ing date, composer and lyricist, all songs in the score on opening night, and the existence of recordings and scores. Throughout both sections, hundreds of notes provide a wealth of facts about the songs (including those added and dropped), the wri- ters, and the shows themselves. Other sections of the book are: Chronology of Stage Product- ions, Index of Film and Television Productions, and Index to Com- posers, Lyricists, and Authors. Richard Lewine and Alfred Simon, co-authors of The Encyclo- pedia of Theater Music, have been involved with Broadway music throughout their careers. 928 pages clothbound $70.00 U.S. and Canada/$85.00 elsewhere To order: Send your check or money order to TheH.VV.

Mr. Sca\cr claims thai "it is prohablv as relevant in train leaders of the niilitarv on campus as il is to train lawyers. " I uholeheai t- ecllv agree with Mr. Seaver's stateiiR-ni. but not witii his conclusion that Rt) !( is "an appropriate subject to teach at Brown." Brown is an exceptional uni- \crsitv precisely because il has resislefl tr.iilitional notions of educational "rek-\aiKc."" I hope that the cla\ when Brown churns out lawyers will remain as dis- tant as the tla\ when Brown "trains leaders of the military. " With all due respect, 1 believe that Mr. Seaver's brand of relevance has been, and should continue to be, rendered irrclc- vaiil by the University's comniitnient to the New Clurriculuni. This coniniitinent is hardK reconcilable with the leintro- duction ol RO I C; at Brown. DAVID ]. l.F.VIN '82 Brrhrlrw 'Calif. WBRU reunion Editor: During the past lew years we have discussed casually with a nuni- bei of fellow WBRL! alnmni/aluninae the idea of organizing an all-class reun- ion lor Brown gniduales who partici- pated in V\'BRL' activities, .'\ftei some discussion, we concluded that organiz- ing such an event could most piactitalK be initiated through a letter to BAM readers, as the University has no reiord ol WBRU participants prior to 196.'i. Our initial suggestion is (or a dinner- dance, to be held on the Brown cam- pus. TO allow suHicienl time lor plan- ning such ,111 e\ent, we could not schedule il prior to spring ot 198.5.

Ftlitor: I am intrigued in reading the response oi l)is. (ueei and (iailetti (BAM. |une/|ulv) to the letter of Dr. Smith (BAM. .'\pi il). My own personal experience with Brown Uni\eisity since graduating in 1956 has indicated to me that they are interested in discussing their programs in order to receive my accolades and mv money, but 1 have been distinctly impressed that they want neither my input and ceilaiiily not niN ciilicism. HopelulK, ihis response to a letter ol an alumnus is the beginning oi a new age at Brown. NORMAN |. C.OWFN, M.D. '56 Bowie. Md. Understanding the dangers of the nuclear arms race Fditor: C. Paul Minide '()8 (Sep- tember BAM) thinks that popular con- cern over nuclear weapons is mis- placed, rhe arms race, he says, is merely a symptom of our bad relationsj with the .So\iet Union, and we should concentrate on improving those rela- tions diieitly. Besides, he argues, nu- clear war would be no more horiible than chemical or massive con\entional|j war. This last stateiiieiu inav lie at the root of Mr. Minifies iniscoiiceptioiis. Niicleai war would be hoirible he\()iicl comparison with anvlhinti; we have known. Il would cert.iinh destroN om ti\ilization and poison the einiionnienl for i^enerations to tome, and it could spell the end ol the hinnan species it- sell, rhe greatest shortcoming ol Tlw Day After in this age ol explicit horror movies is that it grossly underplavs the eltects of nuclear war. Mr. Minifie confuses cause and effect when he identifies the nucle.ir arms race as a symptom of international tensions. Although othei factors con- tribute to this tension, including fim- damental disagieements o\er the na- tine of government and mutual ag- gression in the Third World, we cannot ignore the war of threats and provoca- tive actions that is the arms race. This arms race nnisl end sooner or later, either in mutual destruction or in an agreement for mutual co-existence. The longei it goes on, the greater the risk to ci\ilization. In order to bring about an end lo the nuclear arms race and work to- wards substantial disarmament, we nuist first educate people on the dan- geis of nuclear war. This will lead lo the election ol government officials willing to do what is neiessar\ to end the arms lace. Merelv letting people know of these dangers is not enough. We nuisl con\ ince them of the fundamental loll) of nuclear weapons: they are militarily useless. Nuclear weapons are a psycho- logical bluff: "II you attack me, 1 will destroy us both." It is a thieat wlii< h our enemies cannot afford to risk, but il thev do, we cannot afford lo cari\ it out. With cuirent arsenals luunbering in ihe tens of thousands of warheads, all talk of numei ical superiority is ab- sind. Once peojjle realize that there is no risk in halting the nuclear arms race, a solution becomes possible. The Soviet leaders lealize this, and have proposed a mutual nuclear weapons freeze. This freeze would onl\ be the Inst step in limiting the threat of nuclear war. bul il would help to create a sjsirit of mutual ti usi wliicli would lead to a further lessening of internationaf tensions.

Kudos Kditor: 1 would like to compliment Anne Dilfilv and the BAM for the ex- celienl reporting oi Alex Haley's visit to the campus in the |une/July issue of the UAM. Haley's (Commencement Forum speech was the essence of humanism and brought back memories of Wris- ton. Difhly's report, "Alex Haley on writing, " gave us all a chance to hear some great observations about what it means to be a professional in any field. P. ANDREW PENZ '61 Rtchdrdsim, Texas Blind Dates (continued) Editor: As a lecent graduate, a W(jman, and a Blind Dates fan, I would like to respond to Ms.s Martin and Schnitzer's letter in your September issue labeling the popular Brown band's posters sexist and offensive. Beside the one poster for which the band was rightly reprimanded, I am haid piessed to remember a single one of their many other posters which was sexually explicit or which offended me; nor can I recall any audible protest to the band's advertising on campus. On the contrary, I do remember hundreds of the band's fans and friends anxiously awaiting the next Blind Dates poster because the ad cam- paign was clever and artful, eyecatch- ing, and often humoious; and, as good advertising should be, it was consistent representing a female rock Ian in fa- miliar and thus memorable scenes. (Contrary to Ms.s Martin and Schnitzer's claim, many posters did "portray par- ticularly positive images of women": th( Blind Dates woman appeared on Mount Rushmorc; as the Statue of Lib erty; as a marine hoisting the flag at Iwo Jima; satirizing Brooke Shields's sexy advertising for Calvin Klein. It wa not unconuiion to pass by dorm room! the walls and doors of which sported Blind Dates poster collections. Martin and Schnitzer's letter mad( me as furious as the BAM article mad< them, for two reasons. One is that it is unfair and fruitless to look so hard to find sexism in the band's advertising (merely because it is accessible and vulnerable to attack), when national television and print ad\eiti.sing. reach- ing an infinitely larger audience with far greater frequency, consistently depicts women as housewives, gleefully cooking and cleaning, and often serv- ing men. A better target still might be the (ele\ision programs these ads sponsor, which portray successful business women as evil and manipula- tive, while it shows that "good" women are victims of their environment. Secondh, the letter highlights a saddening and serious problem that the women's movement, with which I svm- pathize, icf uses to deal. It is a problem of pool public relations. V\'li\ was there an ai tide in the BAM covering Blind Dates and not a women's issue? the let- ter asks. Why? Perhaps because the band, through costless public relations, solicited the article, approaching the BAM and convincing an editor that the group made a good storv. Women's organizations, on campus and off, would do well to learn a lesson from the enterprising Dates, who made a good name for themselves throughout New England through phone calls, letters, press kits, phone calls, advertising, promotion, and more phone calls. It is debatable whether an ahmini paper has an obligation to aggressively report on as manv different groups and issues as il can. But the local and national media would feel no such obligation, even if il was possible to fulfill. Ihe media is inimdated with information and opin- ions from all t]uarters, and the most effectively conveved messages are the onlv ones heard. If througli effective public relations Nestle can restore its good name and prohts, then siuely a cause as worthy as the women's move- ment can similarly achieve its aims. As Americans, we well know that much has been gained bv working out- side the system: at times onlv through venting anger and frustration in unor- thodox means has constructive action resulted. But it seems to me unfoiiu- nate that the women's movemeru, which has so much to say, so often sa)s it ineffectivelv, after the fact, and counter to its purposes. It alienates The Most Important Publication of the Orwell Year -NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR- The Facsimile of the Extant Manuscript With a Line-by-Line Transcription and Scholarly Introduction by Peter Davison With a Preface by Daniel G. Siegel A great master of modern English prose, George Orwell was not a great keeper of manuscript drafts, and this manuscript of Nineteen Eighty-Four, consisting of very nearly one-half of the text of the final published book, is the only major Orwell holograph manuscript extant. The 197 pages of handwritten and typed text, here reproduced in two colors to 1 00% of the original leaf sizes, spans virtually the entire novel. The facsimile is an amazing replication of the original; the thousands of handwritten ink corrections and dozens of holograph pages are faithful in size and color to the original, Peter Davison's masterful transcript on facing pages allows a line-for-line reference to the original text. His comprehensive introduction makes clear, for the first time, the period in Orwell's life in which each section was written. Davison carefully lays the foundation for new critical assessments of Orwell's methods of compo- sition and last painful years of work, Orwell's struggle to delineate his vision will profoundly move those familiar with the resolute purpose- fulness of his last sickly years.

ANNE ELIZABETH LU LZ '84 (irfcnivicli. Conn. I Suicide pills; Editor: Yesterday, I watched the television news with amazement as I was inlormed that 700 Brown under- graduates signed a petition (.see Under the Elms) stating that the University should stockpile cyanide in the event of nuclear war so that the students may consume these pills. This devalued opinion of human life is a travesty. I ignoied most of the radical ideas dm ing my four enjoyable years at Brown Lliiiversity. In their effort to construct a diverse (an ovei used label) community, the admission de|)aitment has o\ei looked a substantial number of irresponsible students. 1 don't see these kinds of thoughts coming from other campuses aioiind the country. Certain- ly there is an alternate way to bring the nuclear war issue to light on campus. Are not educational forums good enough? I was opposed to most of these types of radical ideas and some of them just did not seem to be worthy of my time. However, these actions, I feel, deserve a response I'm sure other alumni woultl agree with. I have read in the newspaper where the school administration and the director of Health Services believe that this is an impoi tant issue. Nuclear wai is an important issue, which should [ be discussed openly on a University- wide level. I he course of action taken by these students is contradictory to the icleals a university should promote. Certainly President Swearer and the Brown administration can let these stu- dents have their say. However, please do not take their proposals seriously. I have several c|uestions and one statement (oi the organizers and fol- lowers of this refeiendum question: Why should the University sponsor the dispensioii of siuli pills?

Brown stu- dents voted on October 1 1 and 1 2 to request that the University Health Ser- vices stock "suicide pills" which would be made available in the event of a nuclear war. The referendum, part of an Undergraduate Council of Students (UCS) election, drew a large turnout of voters — 35 percent of the student body. They approved the referendum by a margin of 1,044 to 687. "We did it!" said a tired Jason Salzman '85 at a UCS-sponsored news conference on the afternoon of Octo- ber 12, after the election results had been announced. Salzman and Chris Ferguson '87 led the movement to get the suicide-pill referendum on the UCS ballot and to get the student vote out. As television cameras rolled and a throng of news reporters scribbled notes and adjusted tape recorders, Salzman attempted to clarify what he called a "misconception" about the ref- erendum. "We want prevention, not sui- cide," he insisted. With the passage of the referendum, Salzman said, he and other members of Students for Suicide Tablets had attained their goal "of con- fronting people ... we have made them aware that the policy of stockpiling nuclear weapons is suicidal." The matter of whether the refer- endum was intended literally or not, however, was and is still unclear to many people both on and off campus. One student at the news conference grilled Salzman; he had supported the referendum's message, but was con- fused when a member of Students for Suicide Tablets approached him at the polling place in Sayles Hall and ex- plained that the group's request for a poison cache was serious. "Did you mean it symbolically or literally?" asked the student. Salzman answered quiedy, "If there's a nuclear war, I think I'll be dead. I wouldn't need a suicide pill." Why, pressed the student, did you vote for the referendum — on a symbolic level or as a literal measure? "Both," answered Salzman. "Some people really want these pills, now. They're scared." Jason Salzman explains his views on the "suicide pills" after a teach-in on nuclear war on the Green. During the news conference. Vice President for University Relations Robert A. Reichley toW the crowd that Brown would not consider providing students with the means to kill them- selves. "This University condemns the whole discussion of suicide," he said. "Suicide is not an alternative for any- thmg. I'm telling you," he added, "that you don't realize the degree to which the public is taking this [referendum] seriously." The tremendous media coverage before and after the October ref- erendum generated hundreds of calls and letters to Reichley, President Swearer, student activists, and others at Brown. Many expressed disapproval and disgust, labeling the student acti- vists cowards. Child psychiatrist Dr. Robert Coles of the Harvard Medical School called the disarmament move- ment an activity of the privileged up- per-middle class. He quoted a blue-col- lar factory worker from Massachu.setts who reacted to the suicide-pill contro- versy at Brown: "These spoiled rich kids. Everyone else is going to suffer a slow death, and they want a quick way out." Others were put off by the stu- dents' apparent endorsement of sui- cide — a painful word for growing numbers of families. "Epidemics" of teenage suicides have occurred in affluent communities from Chicago to Texas to New York's Westchester County; Rolling Stone magazine this month notes that some 5,000 adoles- cents kill themselves each year. President Howard Swearer, before leaving for several weeks in the Far East, addressed parents of Brown stu- dents in a letter sent on October 15. "You may have seen or heard ... of a recent student venture designed to raise the national consciousness about the perils of nuclear war," he wrote. "To this referendum the University has responded with an unequivocal 'no.' As I stated to the Corporation, 'The Uni- versity is here to affirm life, not negate it; no pills.' " Salzman, a soft-spoken man who admits the unexpected media deluge unnerved him at first, insists now that 13 the referendum was worth sponsoring despite some negative reactions to it. 'The nuclear arms race is killing us," he told Time magazine — one of dozens of publications and radio and television stations that interviewed him about the pills. "We succeeded in making a lot of people think about it." Salzman concedes that his original intent in proposing the suicide-pill stockpile "was not purely symbolic, al- though it's safe to say at least 90 per- cent of the students who voted for it did so as a metaphor. For me, a nuclear war thieatens the heart of civilization — our whole value system. Life after nuclear war might not be any sort of 'life' at all." The referendum was Salzman's second suicide-pill campaign in as many years. "In the spring ol 1983," says the member of the Brown Disarmament (Iroup, "we collected sig- natures to petition the government to provide suicide pills instead of wasting money on civil defense." That effort attracted only minimal attention from the off-campus media. "The University has said it is sym- pathetic to our concerns," Salzman says. "1 don't think that's enough. 1 think it should take a political stand — a posi- tion. The arms rate demands that we look at our values in a difieient way. I realize that politics is not part of a uni- versity's mission, but this might be the time to make an exception to University policy." Salzman also takes umbrage at certain aspects of Piesident Swearer's letter to parents: "I was insulted that he called [the referendum] a 'student \en- ture.' Ihat makes it seem the equivalent of swallowing goldfish or piling into telephone booths. This is a college — we're not elementary school students. And why didn't he send the letter to us, too? We're the ones who voted for the referendum." Vice President Reichley, who pei- sonally fielded more than 100 calls from the media about the pill issue, maintains that the University is taking the message of the referendmn to heart. "We're taking seriously the mo- tivating factors behind it," he says. "If you read the voter option study — a survey done by the Public Agenda Foundation and the Center lor Foreign Policy Development at Brown, and re- leased in September (/MA/, Odo- ber) — which shows that 89 percent of all Americans believe neither the U.S. nor the Soviet Union would survive a nuclear war," says Reichley, "you have to take seriously what the students are saying. They are not an oddball group; they are far more in the mainstream of University Vice President Robert A. Reichley tells the press conference there will be no stocking of cyanide tablets. the American public," Reichley, however, feels the stu- dents' judgment was faulty on two counts. "First, they didn't consider how serious and complicated the whole dis- cussion of suicide is. They assumed everyone out there would take this as a symbolic gesture. Second, they didn't see that the suicide issue would become a digression from the main point of discussing nuclear war. "Suicide was the device by which they got the attention of the interna- tional media; clearly, it was a cieative idea. But you can't press an issue this broadly without suffering the conse- quences of raising the issue of suicide." Jason Salzman, who estimates he has devoted 80 peicent of his time to the suicide-pill campaign since the be- ginning of October, admits that he feels "terrible" about the reactions of people whose children have committed suicide. "I never expected we'd get this miu h media coverage. I only hope these peo- ple can see the motivation behind what we've done. "I feel good that I've done some- thing," he adds. He, Ferguson, and others are working to unite Brown and other colleges and universities in a common effort to add less the issue of nuclear war. "We have eight schools, including Cornell, committed to hold- ing rallies on November 2. Also, we're trying to get as many other colleges as possil)le to hold referenda on suicide pills — maybe it will turn into a national student movement." Students at the University of C^olorado at Boulder, Salzman notes, will hold a referendum similar to Brown's this month. "The only difference is that theirs will ask the administration to look into the possibility of providing pills." Reichley maintains that there are better ways for Brown to find solutions to the spectre of nuclear war than by discussing suicide pills. "A university teaches, it researches, and it is involved in public service," he says. "And that's what Brown is doing already. We teach courses on the arms race and U.S. -Sov- iet relations. We have broadly discussed the issue on campus and will continue to do so in public forums. And we joined in the voter-option study through the Clenter for Foieign Policy Development. Those are the kinds of things a university should do — and we will continue to do them." A.D. "Now is the time and Brown is the place" Brown's Program in Medical Edu- cation will convert to a single .seven- or eight-year course of study in the fall of 1985. The announcement in September of the new Program in Liberal Medical Kducation (PLMK) came two days after the Association of American Medical Colleges recommended a new approach to medical education that would cut down on lecture classes, minimize memorization, and ease the pressure on undergraduates hoping to get into medical school. The AAMC report, "Plivsicians for the Twenty-First Cen- tury, " offered proposals tliat would al- ter the whole process of selecting stu- dents for iiiediial school and training them. Brown's new I'f.ME appears to be the light |)rescri|jtion. fhe I'rograni in Liberal Medical f.ducation {HAM. Kcbiiiar\) will com- liine pieniedical and medical education in a single academic continuum to pro- \ide greater freedom in curriculum, deeper integiation of medical and non- medical academic interests, and a richer intellectual background lor M.D. grad- uates. "There is a growing perception that the general education of physicians has been neglected," wrote Pierre M. Galletti, vice president (biology and medicine), "resulting in a profession which is highly skilled technically, but not always prepared to assume the broader human service role which is traditionally associatecf with medicine." Brown's PI.MK will addiess some of the criticisms that ha\e been leveled at medical education — its narrow aca- demic focus, the intense pressure it places on students, its resistance to change, and its tenuous relationship to tlie broader aspects of college and uni- veisit\ life. Medical students in the PLMK will be admitted directly fioni high school. Brown recognizes a large pool of high school students prepaied to make a commitment to a multi-year program and able to undertake advanced study. Students will also be encouraged to do work at an advanced level in an area outside of medicine while earning their medical degrees. There will be no re- quired "premedical " coiuses. in the traditional sense. Stucfents will (jualifv for advancement to the M.D. -accred- ited portion of the PI. ME by meeting the rec|uirements of any undergiaduate concentration. Medical studies will be more deeply integrated with other studies. The PLME will allow students to devise interdisciplinary programs, combining medicine with intern.itional studies, tor instance, or with an\ other academic area. The pressine of medical school admission will ease. Students who are accepted into the PEME will be assined of admission to an accredited M.D, -granting course of study. "The goals of the PLME are to produce committed doctors, scholars, and leaders who are able to deal with diversity and change in the health care system during their professional ca- reers," Dr. (;alletti said. "PLME stu- dents will be expected to de\elop as individuals and to become self-starting. competent, complete physicians, pre- pared to undertake any career which would benefit (loni a medical back- groinid." "The profession of medicine is n(jt a single, monochiomalic |jursuil, " Piesident Swearer said when the PLME! was announced. "Its manifestations require variety in educational back- ground as well as preparation for life- long independent .scholarship. We think that now is the time and Blown L'liiversity is the place to confront some of the disap])<)iniments and mativ ol tlie aspirations of medical education in letent decades." K.H. Augustus A.

For nine months he wds the onl\ student at Brown, and when he graduated in I7(i9, he gave the first Commencement oration to his six fel- low students. In honor of Brown's first student, the Associated Alumni has established the William Rogers award to recognize "an outstanding alumnus whose service to society in general would be representative of the words ot the Brown C:haitci : living a life ' ... of usefulness and ie]3Ulation.'

His book )'iiui Aihim; Back: A Doctor's (Utide to Relief, published in 1983, was one of many of his efforts to bring relief to the millions of sufferers of lower back pain. His football career at Brown made Dr. White think of a career in or- thopedics. A premed student who earned several letters as an end on the football team, he was thinking of a ca- reer in |5sycliiatiy, but his fascination with the treatment of sports injuries turned his attention to orthopedics. After graduating from Brown, Dr. White earned his M.D. at at Stanford Medical .School, where he was the first black student and president of the Medical Student Association.

In addition to being the first recip- ient of the William Rogers Award, Dr. White has been honored as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of 1969 (along with Jesse Jackson, )ohn D.

He also serves as a Fellow in the Brown Corporation, chairman of the Corporation Ckmimit- tee on Minority Affairs, chairman of the new fund sponsored by the Third World Alumni Activities Committee, and a member of the Committee on Medical P^lucation. Dr. White titled his remarks on accepting the award, "Soine Ob.serva- tions from a Brown Student ... Travel- ing .'klong," referring to the fact that he has been working in schools for "87 percent" of his life. Based on his "traveling" experiences. Dr. White be- lieves more strongly than ever that humanism "tiansccnds the other cat- egoric a! differences that our race, lan- guage, religion, or place of birth may dictate." He suggests that "humans have more in lonmion than they have differences, and we ought to be able to build on these similarities for peace and cooperation ... Becau.se of the realistic threat of nuclear destruction of hu- mankind, and because of belter com- munications, knowledge and under- standing, I believe we can, and of course, itv must, avoid wai . I suggest that because of colossal progiess in communications, fliffeieiKes can be resolved without war, and we can enjoy the fruits of a peaceful world commu- nity. How does White believe Brown fits into his view of the human condition? "Brown can be thought of as a mag- nificent microcosm of the best of America today ... [the] University and the Brown fainily are leaders in identi- fying and developing our national tal- ent and bringing it to be polished and refined in a multi-ethnic community. The Brown family is a leader and a prototypical example of the success that can be achieved in developing an edu- cational community where all people in this society can work together in a pio- ductive manner."

Brown sells its stock in six companies doing business in South Africa The University has sold its stock in six companies doing business in South Africa that have not agreed to abide by the Sullivan Principles, according to Andrew M. Hunt '51, treasurer of the Brown Corporation. Hunt says that Brown no longer holds any stock in companies operating in South Africa that have refused to sign the Sullivan Principles — a set of guidelines devel- oped by the Rev. Leon Sullivan, a black Philadelphia minister, who founded the Opportunities Industrialization Cen- ters. The Principles set standards for corporate behavior and attitudes in dealings with foreign countries. The decision to divest occurred as a result of a resolution (BAM, May) passed by the Corporation's Advisory and Executive Ck)mmittee last April that said the University would not "invest in American companies with one or more subsidiaries in South Afri- ca if such subsidiaries do not operate in substantial compliance with the Sullivan Principles, as they exist at this time." Hunt explained that the informa- tion on these companies was supplied by Arthur D. Little Company, which monitors compliance with the Sullivan Principles. "Brown's holdings in five of the [six] companies were sold in July when the University terminated its re- lationship with the investment counse- lor that held those companies in its ac- count for Blown." Prior to taking action on this issue, the University .sent letters to the presi- dents of each company, explaining Brown's new policy and soliciting their views on the positions they took re- garding the Sullivan Principles. The companies involved were: Baker Inter- national of Orange, California; Inter- national Flavors and Fragrances, Inc. of New York City; The Lubrizol Corpora- tion of Wickliffe, Ohio; Newmont Min- ing Corporation of New York City; Perkin-Elmer Corporation of Norwalk, Connecticut; and Parker-Hannifin Corporation of Cleveland. The University's procedure pro- vided for follow-up with the top officials of the companies indicating non-compliance, but only one of the six companies, Parker-Hannifin, remained in Brown's portfolio after July. "Thus, there was no need to pursue the ques- tion further with the top officials of those [five] particular companies. The sixth, Parker-Hannifin, was divested when one of the company's officers informed us that they did not plan to sign the Sullivan Principles," said Hunt. The total amount of the divested stock in the above companies is worth $4.6 million, or about 2.5 percent of Brown's endowment portfolio. K.H. A tougher alcohol policy changes social life on campus Rhode Island's drinking age went up to twenty-one on July 1, which means that approximately three-quar- ters of Brown's students are unable to puichase alcohol legalh . Students re- turning in September were greeted with copies of a new "University Policy on Alcohol," prepared last semester by a group of students and staff, and re- leased by the Student Life Office. The new law and the new policy have com- bined to create a quieter atmosphere on weekends, a result welcomed by some and lamented by others. Much of the new policy actually restates existing regulations that for- merly were scattered ainong a variety of student-life documents. But there are several major changes. The University will no longer co- sign Class F (temporary) liquor licenses for student organizations on campus. Groups such as the residential fraterni- ties, therefore, cannot sell alcohol. The Association of Fraternity Presidents (AFP), anticipating this, last spring vot- ed to close its parties to all but invited guests. This year the closed-door policy is being enforced rigidly. Now the once-familiar sounds and sights of a Wriston Quad weekend — students of all ages A'ith or without fraternal affilia- tions, wandering all e\ening from house to house with plastic beer cups in hand — ha\e given way to an almost staid atmosphere. Additionally, Blown now forbids the possession of open alcoholic be\ er- ages on "the public and common areas of the University." Director of Police and Security Services John Kuprevich told the Banner Weekly that his officers will enforce the drinking-age law "no more nor less than thev will enforce any law on the Brown campus." One consequence of the new law and policy is that students aie doing their drinking within dorm rooms and especially in off-campus apartments. "Parties ha\e become smaller and more intimate," says Dean of Students John Robinson '67. "There are more off- campus parties; people are choosing to run the risk of drinking illegally off- campus." "The atmosphere at fraternity parties this year is so different," says AFP Chairman Michael Persky '85, a member of Kappa Sigma. "It's a lot more ci\ilized. The people all know each other, and they're ha\ ing a better time. Before, there was such a tremen- dous emphasis on alcohol at parties. People are dancing more, talking more now." He explains how attendance at fraternity parties is governed under the new AFP system: "Each house gives or sells invitations to its brothers. The brothers can invite whomever they want, using the invitations." The pro- ceeds from selling invitations provide funds for purchasing beer and other refreshments, since they no longer can be sold by the fraternities. "And we're not allowing anyone under twenty-one in the serving areas (bars) at parties. We're using bartenders instead of just setting out an open keg." Persky and other members of the AFP have chosen to view the new drinking policy as a challenge rather than an inconvenience. "Overall," he says, "the drinking age change has been beneficial to the fraternity system. We've been forced to come up with a responsible stance." Both Persky and Robinson express concern for one segment of the Brown student population: freshmen. "We're worried about the freshmen," Persky says. "Without open fraternity parties, they have nowhere to learn to drink in a social atmosphere." "The people who are presenting us with the most irresponsible drinking patterns are freshmen," confirms Rob- inson. "They are illegally obtaining al- cohol and drinking it in their looms. And they'ie drinking without any style or purpose — without food, without entertainment." Robinson and other student-life officials emphasize that Brown is still in the process of adjusting to the new sys- tem. A second "Mike's Party," a cam- pus-wide dance in Sayles Hall, was held in October and was attended by an es- timated 1,110 students ... with no alco- hol served. "And we've had a couple of concerts in Alumnae Hall without granting permission to sell beer theie, as in the past," Robinson says. "The lack of the beer concession probably made the concerts better. People are finding out that you can have fun with- out drinking." "We're trying to have more events that will attract students [and particu- larly freshincn] for reasons other than alcohol," says Vicky Parker-Estey '81, manager of residential programs. She mentions a Halloween party in a Pem- broke dorm featuring a showing of the film Young Frankenstein and a dance afterwards: and the "Keeney Quad Olympics" and a Keeney Quad movie night as examples. "The main thing is, people want to go somewhere and see people and dance," she adds. "We're trying to fill the gap left by the frater- nity parties." Parker-Estey concedes that "people are drinking before they go out to these things." As of mid-October, however, only one major alcohol-related discipline case had been brought to the University Committee on Student Affairs (UCSA), Robinson notes — a much better record than in recent years. "We hope the atmosphere at Brown won't be condu- cive to antisocial behavior," he says. "Students with alcohol-related behavior offenses will really stand out in the crowd. I also hope that we will be able to save some people who may be sus- ceptible to abusing alcohol by providing a less tolerant setting for bad behavior." Two years ago, he adds, the UCSA decided not to accept "under the influence" as a mitigating factor in weighing disciplinary cases. Bruce Donovan '59, dean of fresh- men and sophomores and associate dean for chemical dependency, bolsters Robinson's hope with an anecdote. "Recently 1 met a student who, as occa- sionally happens, went into treatment for alcoholism last spring. He came to me this fall and said that the new alco- hol policy is the inost phenomenal thing that's ever happened here. He felt such a policy would have biought his own pioblem to his attention — and to that of his friends — much sooner. "We've got people aware now that outrageous behavior will stand out. This benefits all of us — the University as a whole and individuals." A.D. Competitive Speaking Team: After only two years, 39 trophies Brown's Competitive Public Speaking Team is living up to its name. Last year, in only its second year of existence, it sent five people — Desiree Ratner '84, Dave Marshall '85, Camer- on Gordon '84, David Bickford '87, and Linda Segal '85 — to the Competitive Speech National Tournament at Geor- 17 JOHN FORASTE Linda Segal works on " impromptu speaking" during a practice session of the Competitive Speaking Team. gia Southern College in April. Bick- ford, who went the farthest, becoming a quarter-finalist in the extemporaneous speaking event, is now ranked in the top twenty-five in the country. Extemporaneous speaking is one of fifteen events in forensic tourna- ments, and it involves a choice of three current-event topics, with thirty min- utes of preparation time for a speech of seven minutes. Other events include the delivery of prepared original ora- tory speeches, prose, poetry, and dra- matic interpretations, and impromptu speaking in which contestants are given topics and time to prepare a speech. Time limits vary from six to ten minutes. Starting with $100 and twelve members in 1982, the team has doubled its membership, has a budget of $4,895 a year from the Undergraduate Coun- cil of Students, and has won at least one trophy in all but one of the tourna- ments it has entered. With thirty-nine trophies already, the team is now preparing for what the members hope will be an even more successful third year. They are plan- ning to attend nine tournaments in which fifteen to forty schools will com- pete and hope to reach the Nationals again. Although they only attended two of nine Great Eastern tournaments last year, they managed to be ranked ninth in the Great Eastern league in cumula- tive points. With only a quarter of the team having previous experience in public speaking, the members of the team must work together. The first year, the team's founder, Desiree Ratner, "coached the team practically single- handedly," according to Segal. The members still coach each other, but Barbara Duley 77 A.M., who joined the team as coach last year, now helps the students select their material and polish their speeches. "What makes us most proud of our team," says Bickford, "is that we have done as well as we have without a full-time coaching staff like other schools have." Duley, who coached Segal's Bar- rington (R.l.) High School team and now spends three hours with the Brown team each week, is enthusiastic. "I think we'll have a large, active, talented team again this year. I'm very excited that some people did as well as they did, because most don't have a tremendous amount of experience." Not only do the members of the team compete successfully, but they acquire organization and speech skills that will be useful to them throughout their lives, says Segal. "It's a good way to lose inhibitions. Anything you do in life involves commimicating effectively and convincingly. Improving speaking skills helps in interpersonal relation- ships, too." Dean of the College Harriet Sheri- dan has taken the team under her wing from its infamy, according to Segal. Sheridan says that communication and speaking skills are "the heart of any education. The team has done ex- tremely well and they deserve support. It's as important as any other activity that lies outside the curriculum." The team's spirit is expressed by Linda Segal: "I went to one tournament and was hooked. I had to do this again because it was so much fun. My favorite part of being on the team is going with someone tcj their first toiunanient and telling them just to have fun with it and go wild!" Stephanie Brummer '85 Update: Handicapped access at Brown '\ ()u don't know what you've got til it's gone, " the song says. When it lonus to being handicapped, nothing could be more true. 1 he loss of mobili- ty is something that can't be appreci- ated until it's experienced — as two members of the BAM staff learned in the last year when they were injured and foiced to get aroimd on crutches. Being handicapped thrust us into awareness of the accessibilitv of the Blown campus, and we decided that it was time to update the cover story, "faking Steps to Help the Handi- capped." that we published in January 1978. After the federal govermuent stated that no handi(a|)ped individual could be excluded, solely on the basis of his handicap, fiom any program or institution recci\ing federal fimds, universities, including Brown, scraiti- hled to compK . Brown filed a "transi- tion plan " that detailed the physical changes necessary to inake the Univer- sity's buildings open to a handicapped student, faculty member, or employee. The plan listed eighteen buildings which were consideied "fust priori- 1\" — those buildings that icquircd es- sential alterations in order to ensure thai the basic programs, aitivilies, and services are available to all persons. Carol Wooten, director of physical ]3lanning at Brown, prepared the tran- sition report, and today she reports that all eighteen Ijuildings have been altered so that they arc accessible. Iheie were some special considerations. "The steps u|) to Alunuiae Hall were too narrow lo put i ani|)s on, so we had to put in a chaii lilt tliat lifts a per- son up to the terrace. Chair lifts are simpler to install than ramps, but ramps are nicer because everyone can use them. "In my eleven years at Brown, 1 (an onh recall two students who were in wheelchairs, and we renovated their rooms to aKommodale them, il they wanted rooms in dorms that didn't have | access. Everyone pitched in in those cases — the deans' office and housing, as well as physical planning." The one area on campus that is still inaccessible is the most \isible: the ma- joi it) of the buildings on the main Green. "It's simply too expensive lo renovate most of those buildings," says Wooten, "so we deal with it on a case- by-case basis. K.H.

Marcel Proust // you are dull, if you are unhappy, if \ yini are bored — collect! Alice Van Leer Carrick The pattern on this Sydenstricker glass ashtray (foreground), says Phil Bray, was made using a dime-store doily. Floral and geometric designs decorate other pieces of the glass he began collecting twenty years ago. Every June, Professor of Physics Philip Bray '48 gets in his car and drives to Cape Cod. There, in the town of Brew- ster, he visits the showioom of Bill Sydenstricker, an artist whose medium is glass. Usually Bray comes away with one or two colorful plates or decorative pieces, each chosen carefully to en- hance his collection. "You have to get there as soon as the shop opens in May or June," he warns. "Once I went in August, and the place was all cleaned out." Bray has been collecting Syden- stricker glass for about twenty years, he estimates. Other facultv fill their office shelves with books, books, and more books. Bray has moved "tons" of books into his laboratories in order to display the glass collection on bookshelves in his Barus & Holley office. He even turned his desk so that it faces the col- lection. "I got tired of looking at the backs of textbooks," he says. Bray's research interests include the structure of glasses, but he was first attracted to Sydenstricker's work for aesthetic reasons. "It really caught my eye," he recalls. "Then I asked him about the technique." Sydenstricker, says Bray, "paints " designs with finely-powdered colored glass on a piece of window glass cut to fit a mold, puts another piece of window glass over the design, and places the mold in a kiln. At 1500 degrees Fahrenheit, the glass sags into the mold and the pieces fuse. A number of museums own Sy- denstricker's glassware. "It's such beautiful stuff," says Bray, taking his latest acquisition, a glass rectangle depicting a tulip, from a display stand and holding it gently. "There are lots of other things you can do with glass" — and Bray's collection reflects this, as it includes various plates, vases, and sculpture pieces in media ranging from crystal to cran- berry glass. He buys glass when he travels overseas. "See this Madonna and Child?" he asks, pointing to the grace- ful curves of cloudy glass on his shelf. "It's part of a pair from Belgium. The companion piece is 'Christ on The Cross.' I didn't dare buy that one at the time, because I had to carry them on the plane and I was afraid it would end up as 'Christ on The Stick.' But I'm determined to go back with some good packing materials someday and get it." Bray plans to continue collecting glass, especially his favored Syden- stricker works, and to enhance the dis- play in his office. "I'd like to work out a background lighting system for the shelves," he says. "Many of these pieces are best appreciated with light passing through them." Already, however, they are appreciated not only by their col- lector, but also by passersby and deni- zens of Barus and Holley who spot the bright colors through Bray's office door. "A lot of people walk by and see my shelves," Bray says. "Then they'll wander in and start asking about my glass." 23 As director of Brown's Child Study Center, Professor of Psychology Lewis J. Lipsitt has collected data on infant behavior and child development for more than twenty-five years. Children are fun, and Lipsitt clearly enjovs them. But that is his work, not recreation. Vo-yos, however, are another story. So are one-stringed musical instru- ments, and people's surnames that cor- respond with their occupations. Lipsitt collects all of these, too — and strictly for his own pleasure. "I guess I have about 200 yo-yos," Lipsitt says, demonstrating a zippy technique with a neon-pink yo-yo in his living room on the East Side. "1 keep them all in a drawer in my study." Well, not quite all of them. "Lew is never without a yo-yo in his pocket," says his wife, Edna, with an indulgent smile. "1 get blisters from them," the professor confirms. "And they take a long time to go away, because 1 keep exacerbating them." He spins the hot-pink yo-yo along the brick hearth of his fireplace in a classic "walking the dog" maneu- ver. Lipsitt still owns one of his first yo-yos, a traditional black-and-red Duncan model he acquired as a child. His interest in the toys revived when he met Larry Sayco, a Providence yo-yo wizard who manufactures the roinid playthings and demonstrates world- champion routines at fairs and festivals. "Because of Larry," Lipsitt says, "Rhode Island is the yo-yo capital of the world." In addition to Superman and Mickey Mouse models, Lipsitt's collec- tion includes a gold-plated yo-yo given him in 1978 for his work in organizing the International Conference on In- fancy Studies. Lipsitt, it appears, has a thing for strings. His other collection of objects is stringed instruments, with a special emphasis on those with one string. "I started playing a one-eighth-size violin at age five," he recalls, "and I've always been fascinated withstringed instru- ments." He still owns that tiny violin, stored reverently in its original case. Some of his more unusual acquisitions are a "one-string strum thimib, " an odd turn-of-the-century English instrument with a long neck, a single thin string that can be plucked or bowed, and a "horn" to project the sound instead of the more usual soimding board. "I bought it in a flea market in London," Lipsitt says. "I had never seen anything like it in my life." He also owns a tall, one-string bass fiddle handmade on a commune in Vermont. With its metal-drinn base, smooth wood neck, and cord-like string, it's the sort of instrument you'd see in a jug band. Lipsitt collects multi- stringed music-makers, too, such as an unusual bow psaltery — a Biblical in- strument, he explains. The surnames collection? That's stored on his computer. For a nimiber of years Lipsitt has been intrigued by coincidences of the following sort: "Robert DUCK of Bosque Farms, New Mexico, won, with his pet, the Great American Duck Race in 1982." "Laura KNOTT TWINE is a weaver in Con- necticut." "Dr. James L. GOBBLE was co-author of an article on Teeding Behavior of Lean and Obese Pigs.' " Professor Wisdom, it seems, is a philos- opher; Sir Russell Brain is a neurolo- gist; Dr. Ogle studies vision; G. A. Martini was co-author of a book on the metabolic changes caused by alcohol; and Harry Kramp wrote a book on swimming. Bill Headline, Lipsitt notes, is assistant news director for CBS News. Dr. Pulley is a dentist; Dr. Buck an or- thodontist. And, to end where all things must end: "The Chief Coroner of To- ronto for many years was Dr. Deadman. Things with strings fascinate psychologist Lewis Lipsitt. Here he demonstrates a trick with one of his 200 yo-yos. His first violin, a one-eighth-size model (foreground), inspired him to collect unusual stringed instruments. With Pooh, Piglet, and assorted works of A. A. Milne at her side, Tori Haring-Smith shows off some of her posters from the world's smallest countries. What English writer, best known for his cliildrcn's stories, wrote an all-time classic mystery novel. The Red House Mysteiy, that is still in print more than hfty years after its publica- tion? Which is the smallest country in the world, consisting of a building com- pound in the midst of a major city, and boasting a resident population of three? The answers: A. A. Milne, creator of that beloved bear, Winnie-the-Pooh; and the Sovereign Military Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta, located about two-and-a-half blocks from the Spanish Steps in Rome. Assistant Professor of English Tori Haring-Smith has good reason to know about such esoterica. She has studied the hrst and visited the second. "I collect everything by A. A. Milne," she says, adding that her liter- ary collection now numbers more than 100 books. She expanded her Swarth- more senior thesis on Milne into a book, A. A. Milne: A Critical Bibliography, published in 1982. "I loved Winnie-the-Pooh as a child," Haring-Smith recalls, "but I got interested in Milne mainly when I dis- :overed he wrote other things besides Milne, who lived was a prolific author children's books, from 1882-1956, of essays, plays, poetry, and fiction. But he is best remembered for the stories he wrote for his only child, Christopher Robin, and published between 1924 and 1928. As a consequence, Haring- Smith not only owns shelves full of adult works by Milne, but editions of the Pooh books in languages from Jap- anese to Latin (Winnle-Ille-Pu), special Pooh volumes (a first edition; a com- memorative edition autographed by Christopher Robin him.self), and acces- sories for every room of the house. A Winnie-the-Pooh wall clock hums above the sink in the Haring- Smiths' house on George Street. There are Pooh quilts, puzzles, stained-glass ornaments, sheets, shirts, a hat, and of course, plush stuffed Poohs, Piglets, and Eeyores. The Haring-Smiths' first baby, whose arrival is imminent as this is written, won't lack for toys and bed- time stories. Tori Haring-Smith's other collec- tion is of posters and memorabilia from the thirteen smallest countries in the world. She spent ten months in 1974-75 visiting them on a Watson Fellowship, inspired by Journalist John Sack, who wrote a book, Report jrom Practically Nowhere, about a similar journey he made twenty years earlier, in 1954-55. "I read that in the seventh grade," Haring-Smith says. "I had wanted to make the trip for ten vears." Highlights included a stay on Sark, an island in the British Channel that is the last remain- ing feudal community, with 500 land- owners paying tithes to an overlord; visiting the quaintly-named Swat in northern Pakistan ("I have the only copy of the story of Swat as told by its founder," she laughs); and observing the "only true democracy in the world" — San Marino, located inside northern Italy. "Everyone has a vote there," Haring-Smith says. "There are a couple of thousand residents, and they all meet in the Plaza Publico. There's a bust of Lincoln in the Plaza — he wrote to them in praise of democracy while he was president of the U.S." Actually, confesses Haring-Smith, "we only got to ten of thirteen coun- tries." Time, and meteorological and geographic barriers, precluded making several scheduled visits. She missed seeing a country inside Pakistan called Amb, for example, by several weeks: "They built a dam and the waters wiped Amb off the face of the earth." 25 The nimble hands twist and flutter, deftly folding a six- inch square of red foil wrap- ping paper. James Sakoda, professor enieritns oi sociology, is tell- ing visitors about Hikari-ori, a new art form he invented several years ago. Sakoda's hobby is origami, the folding of paper squares into animal and human forms. A native C^alifornian of Japanese descent, he learned origa- mi in 1952 while teaching at the Uni- versity of Connecticut. More than thirty years later, .Sakoda's basement office in Maxcy Hall is crammed with examples of his work, its walls covered with framed pieces of Hikari-ori. He has given away countless paper ornaments — each of them a Sakoda original. "Traditional origami is fairly simple," Sakoda says, shaping part of the red foil into two spikey legs. "There is a limit to what you can do; the shapes are kind of boxy. Then I discovered that 1 could make new forms." He also developed a preference for shiny Christmas wrapping paper instead of the traditional origami paper in flat colors. "I don't plan things out too much," he adds. "I just start folding. It's trial and error." Sakoda is widely known for his expertise. He wrote Modern Oiigami in 1969, and the book continues to sell several thousand copies a year. In 1967 he won first prize in the origami divi- sion of the International Paper Air- plane Contest sponsored by Scientific American magazine. Several years ago, while teaching a Modes of Thought course, Sakoda conceived of a new art form derived from origami. "It started with a discus- sion in class about Picasso and geome- tric forms," he recalls. "I couldn't un- derstand why he squashed everything down to two dimensions. So I took one of my eight-point stars and flattened the paper out." Sakoda was struck by the play of light on the planes in the creased paper. He named his discovery after the Ja])anese words Hikari (shin- ing light) and ori (referring to folding). (ilittering foil squares with colorful geometric patterns wink from the wall. Sakoda has scarcely looked at his hands while talking. Now he leans forward and offers the finished piece of folded paper to a visitor. It is a metallic red crane, only a few inches tall, with fea- tures at once abstract and slartlingl) evocative of a live bird. Placed on a desktop, the ciane stands perfectly bal- anced on liny feet. Sakoda smiles, sat- isfied. 26 James Sakoda's three-dimensional origami inventions include a "Brown bear" (right, foreground). Behind him are examples of Hikari-ori. John Emigh reacts to one of his Balinese masks. A temple goddess glares in the background (left), while masks of deities from India and Nepal, foreground, display contrasting emotions of anger and serenity. A sneer. A scowl. An incredu- lous, haughty expression. John P^migh is trying on a persona, getting in synch with the hand-carved wooden mask from Bali that he holds at arm's length. If he were going to wear the mask in a play or dance, he would prepare him- self this way to become the highly-exag- gerated human emotion delineated by the mask's features. Associate Professor of Theatre Arts John Emigh has collected hun- dreds of masks — mostly from Bali but also from such places as New Guinea, Java, Italy, and India — since he went to Indonesia on sabbatical in 1974. "I looked for the ways masks are used in cultures where they are still important," jhe says. Not all of his masks, many of which hang on walls in his office and his home, were used for performances. Emigh was attracted to each one be- cause of its special character. "I like the clarity of the vision, the precision of thinking " represented by masks, he explains. "They project a way of feeling about being, and in their intensity they capture a human motoi response." After donning a mask, Emigh the actor feels libeiated fioni his own physical features. "You exaggerate your body movements to take on the same degree of clarity and objectivity as the mask," he says. "You can find greater grace, or demonic or even rigidlv comical quali- ties in yourself to match the mask." As Emigh explains the purposes and qualities of the masks in his office, he is watched from behind by a partic- ularly menacing countenance. "That's Rhonda," he says brightly. Rhonda is a fairly gruesome goddess-mask from Bali. Her dangling tongue is made of buffalo hide, her teeth are b(jars' tusks, and her long, feathery locks are fash- ioned of horsehair. When Rhonda is not being worn, Emigh places a white cloth on her head, "to limit the power " of the mask, he explains. "She is used as a protective figure in the [Hindu] tem- ple. She goes into violent trances and can put other people into trances." Emigh has used many of his masks to act out stories from other cultures, and to re-tell familiar fairy tells, for area school children. "I'm probably best known for doing 'Little Red Riding Shawl,' " he laughs. He never tires of looking at his masks and reacting to them. "Each mask is precise," he says. "Yes, they impose some limits on an actor. But as a constellation they allow you to go fur- ther than you could using only your own human form. " 27 From snake oil to cough syrup, David Greer's bottle collection tells the story of the early patent-medicine industry. Dr. Greer holds an antique baby bottle with carved bone nipple. 28 The 1*106 Sears catalog adver- tised "Mrs. Winslow's Sooth- ing Syrup," a concoction guaranteed to quiet your cranky or colicky baby. And no wonder: "The active ingredient was opium," says Dean of Medicine Dr. David Greer, a collector of old patent-medicine bottles and related paraphernalia. "Many in- lants became addicted to the stuff." Dr. Greer lias some 5,000 antique medicine bottles, all packed in cartons in his basement. His collection began twenty years ago. "I was at the Red Lion inn in the Berkshires. and there was a bottle collection on display there. One bottle said, 'Diabetes Cure." I asked to buy it. but it wasn't for sale. "My wife likes to browse through yard sales, and it occurred to irie that this would give me something to do at the .same lime." In amassing his collec- tion. Dr. Greer has become something of an expert. "1 now have a small li- brary on the history ol patent medi- cines," he says. "Did )ou know that these were the first produc ts to put a brand name on their labels? " "I'ink Pills for Pale Pco[)le, " pio- claims a slim bottle with adniiiable allit- eration. (It piomises to build up weak blood.) Another tiny bottle labeled "Tuberculozyne" claims to cure con- sumption. Dr. Greer's largest bottle stands about fifteen inches high and once contained "Robert Gibson's Tab- lets"; it was used by a pharmacist. The label on another bottle begs to have its fine print examined: "Millers Oil," it says at the top; then in mini.scule print, "Formerly Known As," then in large type, "SNAKE OIL.," and again in tiny letters, "But Does Not Contain Snake Oil." Lydia Pinkham's famous vegetable tonic for women is represented in Dr. Greer's collection, as are some more unusual items: The precursor of to- day's disposable baby bottle, this one made of blown glass with a removable nipple carved of ivory or bone; and a prescription written during Prohibition. "This was the only legal way to get al- cohol then," Dr. Greer notes. 'Ihe pre- scription was written by Dr. Lewis Ba- con of Pottsville, Pennsylvania; the patient was to itiibibe whiskey, "One ounce, three times a day." Dr. Greer put part of his collection on display in a glass case in Arnold Lab a while back, but someone bioke the glass and took some of his bottles. For now, this modern medicine-man keeps his collection in his basement. Most of the bottles are empty, but still redolent of more credulous days. Two apples a day keep the doctor away," intones Pro- lessor of Alt Hugh Townley, whose ruddy complexion seems to confirm his belief in this phi- losophy. Some people, however, like to eat their apples in pies or other pas- tries. But who wants to bother peeling all those apples? In the last century a slew of manu- facturers, many of them in northern New P^ngland, answered that question with an ingenious contrivance: the apple-peeler. Made of cast iron, the device allowed a cook to impale an apple, turn a handle, and watch a sharp blade neatly remove the apple skin in one long curl. Townley owns fifty of these de- vices. "About twelve or fourteen years ago a friend pointed one out to me," he says. "1 was so astonished — it not only peeled the apple, but when done, kicked it off. I bought it on the spot." Townley paid $1.50 for his first peeler, a green-trimmed number la- beled "Turntable '98" and made by Goodell Co. of Antrim, New Hamp- shire. "I'd hate to tell you how much I've paid for others since then," he says. "I'm thinking of joining 'Antiquers Anonymous." I get hung up looking for a particular model. For instance, right now I'm searching for a two-apple model." Townley, who is known for his graceful, totem-like wood sculptures, tries to keep all his apple peelers in working order. But repairs can be ex- ^ M\ In his study, Bill McLoughlin shows off his "future antiques" — relics of today's space program (foreground). He is surrounded by memorabilia, both new and very old. pensive, and finding tiie proper blades is a problem. He has one antique peeler in his kitchen at home, where it is used often — "It peels, cores, and slices," he brags. What is it about apple-peelers that attracts Townley? "The mechanics. And the nuttiness," he replies. On a low shell in his List studio he displays a gargantuan peeler, four or five times larger than any of the others. Townley is asked why that model is so big. "I don't know," he admits. Then, wryly: "Probably it was made for the Defense Department." Hugh Townley eats two apples a day, and collects antique devices that made apple-peeling a snap. Professor of History William Mcl.oughlin is a consummate collector, with admirable ac- cumulations of postcards, old advertising cards (BAM, October 1981), political memorabilia, sheet music, and stereoptican photos, to naine a few. But lately he's added a new collection, one that includes cartons full of empty ce- leal boxes. "I'm collecting 'future antiques,' " explains McLoughlin. "A future an- tique is something that today is so con- temporary as to be commonplace, so ordinary you can get it in the five-and- ten-cents store, so cheap you can throw it away." He hit on the idea of amassing tomorrow's collectibles during his weekly forays to the outdoor Hea mar- ket in Norton, Massachusetts. "You see antiques there and you say, 'My God, I had one of those as a child!' " McLoughlin collects items that reflect turning points in our techno- logical society, such as the space pro- gram. In his attic are such curiosities as a Friendship 7 ceramic cookie jar in the shape of the first manned space cap- sule; McLoughlin bought it in 1962 at Woolworth's. "This is something that won't be reproduced," he says. "It's like The Spin! of Si. Lcmis. " The cereal boxes (such varieties as "Sugar Jets ") feature pictures or souve- nir offers on their back panels portray- ing milestones in the space program: The Apollo mission that brought man to the iTioon, for example. McLoughlin also has a plastic model of the space shuttle, a poster of America's astro- nauts, and a twenty-year-old section of the New York Times with articles on rockets and space travel. Collecting "future antiques" is not without risk, McLoughlin admits. "First, you wonder, 'What am I throw- ing out that will be sold in antique stores someday?' Then you decide what to save, and that is a dilemma. I realized 1 was saving everything — corn flakes boxes, Quaker Oats boxes. Probably only one out of fifty things you save will ever be an antique. Now, if I save a corn flakes box, I want the one with an astronaut's picture on the back." McLoughlin collects because "it's just fun. It gives you soinething to look for, and that feeling of making a bar- gain. It's halfway between impulse buying and constructive planning." He gazes around his study, just one room in the family's three-story Victorian house that is cramined with memorabi- lia. "Sometimes I get the terrible feeling that my children will inherit nothing — they'll have to give all this to a junk dealer." Then he smiles. "But I never spend more than five dollars on an item. And it makes my day when I come back from the flea market with a bag full of junk." 29 Saturday at Home Homecoming is more than a football game. It's an occasion for bringing the kids back to the old halls of ivy to try to impart some of the special flavor to them. It's a time to feel that special sense of belonging — ^as a band member, a football fan, or a tail-gater. It's kicking the leaves on the Green, and sipping cider, and drinking in all the sounds and sights and smells of Brown. It's coming home. A true lover of Brown — from his head to his toes. 30 31 One of two Brown touchdowns in the making. A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, oh, and don't forget the centerpiece! 32 Penn 41, Brown 14. 33 X-Rated The destructive effects of pornography on society A few years ago a poster appeared on bulletin boards around the Brown campus. "The ONE AND ONLY DEEP THROAT," it screamed in block letters. It was illustrated by a drawing of a smiling woman, blouse unbuttoned to display her cleavage. It is an old tradition for fraternities and other campus groups to raise money by screening X-rated movies. A dozen or more years ago, midnight porn Hicks in Faunce House Theatre were shown for fifty cents apiece. No one thought much of it; or if they did, they weren't talking. In the fall of 1982, people started talking. Groups attuned to women's issues on campus were speaking up aboiU sexism, about the clanger to all women of rape and violent assault, and about pornography. Many people believed that pornography, like sexist party posters and crude jokes in the classroom, was part of a larger problem, a signpost of sexist undercurrents that don't belong at an enlightened university such as Brown. "Examining pornography on campus doesn't mean censorship," said Toby Simon, director of health education. "It means we're asking questions about the purpose of showing a pornographic movie, about continuing to portray women in passive, negative roles." As director of psychological services and professor of psychology at Brown, Ferdinand Jones is privy to the intimate details of many student lives. Jones is revered for his gentle concern and his sensitivity to students' problems. But his normally soothing voice becomes edged with frustration when he talks about pornography: "People need to become aware of how destructive pornography is, how it feeds men's misconceptions about wom- en and about sexuality. Women become objects, and nothing more. Now, how realistic is that in terms of a real relationship? Can you expect a mar- riage that may last fifty years or more to be like reading a porn magazine? It's impossible." Suspecting that men's attitudes towards women are not modified much during their four undergraduate years at Brown, [ones helped organize and run a study group on pornography in 1982. In the following article, he reports on what the group did and what has happened at Brown since then. And he describes how porn(jgraphy continues to damage individuals' self- images and their relationships with members of the opposite sex. A.D. 34 By Ferdinand Jones Two years ago I was a member of a study group that hoped to sensitize the Brown Uni- versity commimity to the objectionable aspects of pornography. OiM concern arose from our observa- tion that showing pornographic films had become a traditional fund-raising vehicle for a few of the fraternities. Because sexist, as well as racist, atti- tudes seemed to contribute to antisocial behavior on campus, we felt that por- nography as advertised entertainment was contradictory to constructive com- munity-building. The group of eleven included stu- dent-life administrators, fraternity members (inckiding one fraternity president), a Sarah Doyle Women's Center staff member, and a female stu- dent leader. We worked diligently to develop a statement that expressed our convictions about the negative influence of pornography on our community. We planned to solicit additional posi- tion statements from every other cam- pus organization, and then require that these be read and discussed by any organization applying for space and equipment to show a pornographic film to the Brown public. We hoped that such a program of consciousness-rais- ing might reduce the public promotion of pornography at Brown, and that it would also prod individuals to think about whether or not the private use of pornography was good for them or for anyone. Discussions about pornography usually provoke concern about First Amendment rights. We were careful in preparing our position statement to avoid a call for censorship. We did not want to encourage that kind of easy detraction from the social issue we thought was most important. We also found that debate about the definition of pornography, while very interesting, could also detract from our purpose. As diverse as our group was along several demographic dimensions, we always understood we were talking about the same subject. Our plan moved slowly — too slowly saihni ffiSYSimi^ RGANE ti^^- W!': »;5!3»eg»i'!B;. to be in effect when other campus groups became angiy about one frater- nity's scheduled showing of the film Deep Throat early in the following se- mester. There were several well-at- tended demonstrations against the screening of the him, but these did not stop the Irateinitv's plans to advertise and show it. Women Against Rape (WAR) sponsored the showing of an anti-pornograph\ slide show as an al- ternative for the campus. Through these events, the commimity became spontaneousK embroiled in the very debate our group had wanted to foster. We were happy to see it and, therefore, to discontinue oiu" plans. 1 do not believe there were anv pornographic films publicly shown on the campus last year. The Brown Film Society, a student organization that coordinates the scheduling and man- agement of film programs, voted not to provide projectionists or space for any films it deemed pornographic. This policy had the effect of preventing public screenings of films such as Deep Thnicil at Brown. There is no way to know to what extent private screenings took place, but it is hard to believe that they didn't. It is worrisome to note that videocassettes and cable television may make theater screenings of sex films obsolete anyway. I had started personal reflections on the subject of men's versus women's sexuality a few years prior to all of this. About five years ago, I included .sections on male sex roles and on pornography in my "Psychological Study of Social Issues" course. Later, my clinical work with some especially articulate female rape victims alerted me to some troublesome blind spots in my own understanding of this rather vast topic. Indeed, my wish to be involved in the anti-pornographic effort on campus came out of my growing awareness of the ignorance and prejudice about men's and wom- en's sexuality that I believe most men cannot avoid atquiring in their up- bringing. I now listen thattertocks,' was meant to be a take-off on the Jabberwocks. John coached us and we worked very hard to learn the harmony for their traditional songs, 'Halls of Ivy' and 'Mood Indigo.' Each of us borrowed a grey flannel suit, white button-down oxford shirt, striped tie, and white buck shoes — the Jabber- wocks' standard outfits. Then we pinned our hair back and chose differ- ent people to imitate. My husband still sings with his hands in his pockets — as do our two boys — so naturally, that's how I imitated John. Well, we won the contest and people encouraged us to continue performing," They did — but not as Jabberwocks mimics. During Nancy Dorer's four years at Brown, the Chattertocks de- veloped their own personae and cam- pus following. Clad in preppy attire, they sang melodious songs on a Provi- dence television program, hosted jam- borees in Alumnae Hall, and traveled to college campuses, where every so often, they were "funny." "I can remember imitating Wes- leyan singers who also sang 'Mood In- digo,' " she continues. "Before we per- formed at their concert, we studied their mannerisms, grabfjed some jack- ets, and went on stage and spoofed them. Ihe Wesleyan audience loved it. By the end of our senior year, we all said we hoped to come back to a reun- ion and find (Chattertocks still around." The 1984 Chattel tocks would make Nancy and the other "originals" proud. Since the 195()s, the gioup has kept up with pojiular trends by per- forming fust with guitar, then piano accompanimeTit in the '6()s and '70s. Two years ago, the Chatttertocks went a. Everybody has a gimmick: The Higher Keys shed their pants during their performances. cappclla once again and introduced choieographv to their shows. A C'.liattertocks concert is, indeed, a show; it incorporates music, costumes, and comedy skits into a story line. For Hillei House's annual "Cabaret Night, " they parodied James Bond movies us- ing a "Jane Bond" theme. Prospective students at the "Taste ot Brown" pro- gram on campus saw the Chattertocks imitate campus tvpes — preppies, jocks, rustics, and pimks. When they sang "C:ell Block Tango" from the Broadway musical Chicago, they introduced them- selves as "Debutantes Behind Bars from the Pembroke County Prison." "Our music and skits make us dy- namic, especially if you compare us with women's groups at other colleges, who just smile and sing," says soprano Annie Puhlow '86. "The Chattertocks have a lot of spark and personality, a lot ot pizzazz and energy. We let our strengths and individual st\les show in our introducti(jns and solos. " Those styles are as varied as junior Kitty Balay's flirting with the audience .md then belting "Boy From New York C:ilv." Or Patty Lewy '86's making unexpected facial expressions in the upbeat "Tell Him." Or jiniior Pam Weiler's introducing her solo, the Linda Ronstadt tune, "Can't Let Go, " with her suggestions for keeping a man via the "Super Glue" method: "You found him, you caught him, and now you're stuck with him," she asserts. "Even though we try to look pol- ished and try to be clever, our music comes first," says Allyson Johnson '86, music director. "Every year, we sing 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' in Lat- in for Professor [John Rowe] Work- man's Latin carol service. Our reper- toire features classics like Tunny Valentine' and 'Sentimental Journey.' Behind the costumes and comech , the Chattertocks are still a musical gioup." You might call the second flooi of the F^merv-Woollev dormitory "Singers' Row." Lhat's where juniors Darryl Shrock, Audrey Silver, and Scott Ma- chado practiced three-part harmony and complained about the low number of fl rappelhi singing groups dining their freshman year. From their late- night jam sessions and discussions, they decided to organize two new groups — the all-male Brown Derbies and the coed Higher Keys. "I thought there was a place at Brown for a jazz a cappella group, and we talked about it a lot freshman year," says Silver, the Higher Keys' business manager. "When 1 joined Alpha Delta Phi fraternity as a sophomore, I met Norman Ryan '85, our musical director, and we finallv started the group. Since last November, we've expanded our repertoire from solely jazz to Motown and pop songs. The Higher Keys are getting known on campus. Hopefully, we'll be able to tour someday." Meanwhile over in South Wayland and Archibald House, Wendy LUin '86 and Kate Adams '86 agreed that what Br(jwn really needed was a coed madri- gal group. They eventualh became known as the eight-member "Stone Soup, " which sings sixteenth-century Italian songs. While the Jabberwocks and Chat- tertocks prepare to tour, the newer groups are attiacting attention at 41 42 Brown. In September, the Derbies hosted a sold-out "Men of the Ivy League" jamboree to help raise money for imancial aid. featuring tiie Higher Kevs and \aie Whitfenpoofs. .Althougli the world-renowned "Poofs" received warm applause for their (lawless vocal delivery, it was the Derbies who really entertained the crowd. They scored a hit by spooHng the Brown Band's foot- ball half-time introductions with a timelv announcement: "Ladies and gentleman, introducing the Brown 'How manv presidential candidates' kids go here' Marching Derbies." Even the \'alies laughed. "We've altered our repertoire quite a bit," explains Shrock, leader of the Derbies. "At hrst. we sang mostly Cole Porter and barbershop songs. Now we sing Billy Joel, Chicago, and Dan Fo- gelberg material, and we perform skits. like our 'Point-Counter Point' on the New C'urriculum. We want to visit Brown clubs in Washington, .Atlanta, and Florida over winter break. If we do go, we'll liuid the trip oinselves." Tours may be in for a cappella groups, but the eight-woman Ursa Minors ('Little Bears") say it's more fun to perform for the Brown campus community. Ihey'd rather create bi- zarre costumes and write Eric Widmer, dean of student life, into their offbeat scripts than worry about fund-iaising. That's according to Uisa veteran Sylvia Veh '85, who believes they have a certain spontaneity that dates back to the late '70s. "The group started among some friends who enjoyed singing to- gether. We're still casual, as they were. Each of us comes up with her own cos- tume. We're really known for oiu visual effects; we like weird clothing. " Sometimes the Ursas wear their clothing backwards. At an Amherst jamboree, they made costumes from green garbage bags. Last fall, during a campus-wide "Coffee Break," the Ursas devised a "Widiner-Wear" fashion show, featuring the amiable dean him- self in French beret, sunglasses, and silk scarf. "We combined our 'modeling' with the songs," Veh says, recalling assorted Disney, bridal, safari, and medieval "Widiner-Wear" outfits. "We changed song lyrics and wrote new verses. Peo- ple still talk aljout that show." For the next (wo months, Clif- ford Kolb will be doing more than his usual share of talking about a (uppi-Ua singing at Brown. He's playing agent for the Jab- berwocks and Chattertocks as he books The Jabherwocks of 1955 (above) and the Chattertocks of 1957. The BAM could not identify everyone in the photographs. Can anyone help us? their Brown CMub gigs, and he looks forward to promoting other singing groups next year. "We don't want to favor one group over another, but we want them to be ready to perform. I took the Brown Derbies to Penn State last year for the football game against Brown, and at that time they had a "Should we sing now?' attitude. It was really special for me to see their transformation the olli cr night, when they sang with new self-assurance. They'd really blos- somed. The exciting thing about to- day's campus .scene is that the gtoups offer a variety of styles and shows. I think the performances are delightful. I Im Dick Walton . By Katherine Hinds Photographs by John Foraste Who are those guys?" A small entourage of re- porters and a television cameraman are scram- bling to catch up to a man and a woman who are walking rapidly through downtown Providence. These two peo- ple are riuining for President and Vice President of the United States. But it's the television camera that lends them celebrity, not the fact that they have familiar faces. Outside the Senior Citizens Center, a table is set up and a cluster of elderly women is selling raffle tickets. One sharp-eyed woman notices the video camera and yells out, "Hey, T.V.! Over here, T.V.!" The group slows down, and the woman asks, "What's going on? What channel are you from? Who are you guys?" "I'm Dick Walton," replies one of the candidates. "I'm running for Vice President on the Citizens Party ticket. And this is Sonia Johnson. She's run- ning for President." 'President? Of what?" "Of the country," replies Walton. The old woman is still concentrat- ing on the words "vice president," and >he struggles to figure out what's going jn. A woman. A vice presidential can- didate. She looks straight at Johnson and says, "You're Geraldine Ferraro?" An identity crisis was one of the aroblems that faced the Citizens Party i.icket in this election year. The Citizens Party has its own particular link with 3rown. He may not be as recognizable is the other famous political names connected to Brown this year: William viondale '84, who took three semesters )ff to campaign for his father; and 3onna Zaccaro '83 and her sister Laura 88, who also campaigned for the Mon- lale/Ferraro ticket on behalf of their nother. Geraldine. But Richard Walton '51 is not a elative of a candidate. He was the can- didate for vice president on the John- son/Walton ticket, a ticket that offered substantive alternatives to the Demo- cratic and Republican platforms. And a ticket that was bound to be defeated. Walton hasn't always tilted at windmills, at least not in such a dramatic way as running for the second highest office in the land, but he has often been swimming Just outside the mainstream of American political thought. "I was a loyal, passionate Democrat — a Stevenson liberal from way back. And my father was a Roose- velt Democrat who ended up a Gold- water Republican," Walton says. "What he thought of my politics he never did say. When he died he hadn't yet seen the full flowering of my 'lefthood.' " Although Walton was recruited by the CIA when he was a senior at Brown — "If they had given me a Job, I probably would have taken it," he told the Brown Daily Herald — he worked in different media, radio and newspapers, before settling in as the principal Unit- ed Nations correspondent for The Voice of America. "I worked for three years on the 'Report from Africa' and became deeply involved in covering American foreign policy. Gradually I came to believe that the way the United States was behaving in the world was 'and I'm Running for Vice President' deeply offensive and immoral and was causing suffering. In a way, I was radi- calized by working for the U.S. govern- ment. "My last gasp as a Democrat was working with the McGovern campaign. George McGovern is a wonderful man, but once I saw how Democrats were not interested in his politics, I shied away from them and washed my hands of the whole party." Today Walton admits that he doesn't know if he's "liberal, radical, progressive, or just a nut," but he does know that the Democratic Party he used to be so passionate about is "crumbling. It's not getting any stronger; as a mat- ter of fact, it's falling apart. The welfare state is part of the reason — now there are ways for people to get help through the system instead of having to go to a ward boss for assistance. Neither party is as strong as it used to be, but the two- party system has such residual strength that it's firmly entrenched. Our recent history shows that there's not much difference between the two parties. It's not the Republican party that's popu- lar; it's Reagan himself. And as society becomes more complex, people realize that electing one party or the other isn't going to help things much. We keep switching parties — people don't have the loyalty to a particular party that they used to have, which is good. There is nothing valuable about a party itself. The party is only good if it serves the people. People keep voting for the par- ty out of favor because they don't know what else to do." Dick Walton remembers the exact date he was asked to run for Vice President: March 20. But it was six months earlier that he first got involved in the presidential campaign. The Citi- zens Party was convening in San Fran- cisco to decide if there was any point in nominating someone to run for the presidency. "We knew that if we didn't run a campaign, we'd wither and die, yet we also realized this would be the worst possible time. But we also 43 44 thought Ronald Reagan would make Attila the Hun look attractive to people like us. Soiiia [ohnson came to look us over, and addressed the convention, giving one of the most extraordinary- speeches I've ever heard." Johnson, manv will remember, made headlines in 1979 when she was excommunicated fiom the Mormon Church for "blowing the whistle on the church for its campaign to defeat the Equal Rights .Amendment," in her words. -She has been in the news in the five years since the excommunication for chaining herself to the While House gates and enduring a thirt\-plus-day hunger strike to demonstrate her sup- port for the ERA. "Choosing Sonia to run for presi- dent," says Walton, "was the most pow- erful political statement we could make as a party. After the convention. I wrote her a letter encouraging her to run." And Johnson returned the tavor. "I got a call from her on March 20. She was asking me questions about this and that, and asked me about someone else she was considering. Gradually I real- ized she was about to ask nie to run with her. I gave it long and mature thought for two or three seconds and said. 'Sure.' "There's a certain cachet in run- ning for Vice President. It's a little more offbeat than running lor Presi- dent, and it's certainly been an experi- ence. I don't draw crowds or huge sums of money, and I've done some travel- ing, although not as much as Bush or Fcrraro. I've done close to the best I can. I had no staff, so I put out mail- ings, wrote my own press releases, and gathered signatures on a petition to get us on the ballot in different states. We managed to get on the ballot in twenty- five states. I will say, though, that this is often a lonely, frustrating discouraging business." The question inevitably emerges as to why anyone would want to spend half a year hghting a battle that virtual- ly assured defeat. "It's easy to surren- der before the game starts," Walton says. "Hundreds of thousands of peo- ple share our views, but they don't try to do anything, or commit themselves in any way because they feel an effort like this will fail. People profess to be- lieve in what we believe in — we hear this all the time; '\'ou guys are nice people and we agree with what you say. But.' Well, damn it. You have to either try to change things or give up. I'm fortunate I can afford to try. My kids are out of college, I have no career aspirations, and I don't have to worry about what my boss will say, because I don't have one." Walton has been modestly sup- porting himself, since he left Voice of America, with his writing. He has writ- ten articles and reviews for The Nalion. The New York Times, Playboy. Book Woilil. Esquire, and the Providence Journal- Bul- letin, among others. He has also written books. 'mc\\\d\n'g Remnants of Power: The Tragic Last Years of Adlai Stevenson, and his most successful book, Cold War and Counterrevolution, one of the first revi- sionist attacks from the left on the Kennedy foreign policy. Last year, when Neivsu'eek magazine published a special issue on the twentieth anniver- sary of Kennedy's assassination, Walton was one of thirty Americans asked to reflect on the Kennedy legacy. What he wrote emphasizes his belief that the two major political parties in this country are not all that dissimilar: "It's amusing how much Kennedy resembles Ronald Reagan, or vice ver- sa. I mean his interventionism, his meddling in the Caribbean and Latin America, his wanting to increase oiu" missile strength, his almost holy-cru- sade view of the Soviet Union. The Cuban missile crisis was wholly unnec- essary. I was at the UN then, and peo- ple were genuinely terrified that the long-feared day was about to happen — nuclear confrontation between the two great powers. I'm not absolving Khrushchev; it was stupid of him to have ever put missiles on Cuba. Khrushchev should have known that no American president — particularly a president as macho as Kennedy was — could tolerate that. But it could have been solved by using diplomacy, and Kennedy didn't use diplomacy at all. He used a nuclear threat. He was in my view the most dangerous cold warrior that we have had since the end of World War II. "1 thought that the Vietnam War would end for at least an appreciable chunk of time this kind of reflex anti- communist hysteria," Walton also wiote, "and it just caused a slight pause. Here we are back at it again. I mean 5,000 troops entered Grenada, which the Providence Police Department could have conquered. God, that's pa- thetic." He is not a shy man, and as he explains his political views, it becomes clear that Walton probably offends suppoi ters of both political parties. "I really think that gigantic corporations in this country have too much power. The Democrats and Republicans do lit- tle to see that corporations live up to their social responsibility. They close plants and throw whole cities into de- pression without any concern for any- thing but — and 1 desjiise this expres- sion — the bottom line. Any social organization, be it political or profes- sional, exists to serve people. People don't exist to serve institutions. "Something that also distresses us is the increased polarization of Ameri- can society. There is an increasing number of very rich people in this cotmtrv. Look at Newport, Rhode Is- land. What a beautiful city, but the people who have lived there for centu- ries can no longer afford it. And at the same time we have hidden in the back corners of our cities people who are living in extreme want. This is a sure sign of social disintegration. We're seeing for the first time in this country down- ward mobility. People ate buying smaller houses than their parents did. We're no longer fulfilling that old American dream of living better than our parents did. "We sometimes put too much reli- ance on heroes. We need to transform society on all levels, and no one man or woman is able to do that. This society is not as caring as it should be. We're so blessed. There's no reason why every American can't have a decent life. The fact that it hasn't happened means we haven't wanted it to happen." His views on dealing with the Sovi- et L'nion are perhaps piedictable. "Talking tough to the LI.S.S.R. hasn't worked. We have to try to reduce fears. The U.S.S.R. is a suspicious society, and we shouldn't be threatening them with a club. That doesn't work, and hasn't for forty years. The obscene expendi- tures both countries have for military hardware have to end. Peaceful behav- ior is the only possible approach. "I know people like simple answers to questions like what is the most im- portant issue of the day. But the answer is an interrelation of nuclear arms and military spending, war and peace, sur- vival issues. What's the point of build- ing taller, thicker walls to protect a so- ciety if the society is crumbling from within? All the military spending does not add one iota to the security of our country. Actually it weakens us. The fabric of society is coming apart, and the money is needed for other things. I'm not talking about welfare mothers, and I'm not talking as a bleeding-hearl liberal. Our infrastructure — the bridg- es, roads, and sewers — is literally lallinj apart.
