Editor: I would like to respond to Richard B. Biazar's letter {BAM, Feb- ruary) concerning Prof. Newell Stultz's article in the October issue. Mr. Biazar's letter piovides the answer to his question as to what the article conveyed that was ol any value. News and reporting, most clearly in the newspapers and magazines, come in three main flavors: facts, analysis, and editorials. Professor Stultz's article con- tains facts and analysis germane to his topic, which I take to be the current state ol affairs and recent develop- ments in South Africa affecting apart- heid, and the extent and nature of U.S. influence in South Africa. Mr. Biazar's criticism seems to be that Professor Stultz is morally repre- hensible lor not providing analysis and editorial material (editorial material is opinion and rhetoric) pertaining to possible U.S. policy and the moral im- plications of the situation. Well, that was not the topic. It is a highly impor- tant topic, but shouldn't a person be allowed to write about some other topic witiiout being attacked? Should Mutual of Omaha's "Wild Kingdom" program be condemned for covering African wildlife instead of African politics? My main concern with Mr. Biazar's letter, and many others, is one that I have written in .so often that 1 would be (pleasantly) surprised if it is printed again. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, why do we spend so much time iilktrking each other in these columns?

In the South blacks could own the houses in which they lived and the land on which they were situated. In South Africa no black in.iy own real estate. In the South blacks lould travel from city to city and from state to state. In South Africa blacks mav travel onh in certain areas, at certain times, and then only with a "pass." In the United States the police protected Martin Lu- ther King (e.g., during his match in Chicago) while in South Africa Steve Biko was muidered while in police cus- tody. In the United States the federal authorities hunted down and impris- oned the murderer of Martin I.uther King. In South Africa the nuirtleiers of Steve Biko are still at large and are probably still in the police force. There certainly was much room for improvement in the South of the 19.50s, and moderate political foices in the South soon demonstrated that the South could reform itself. Bv its actions of setting up the "homelands" and llie constitution of 1984 the present gt)\- crnment of South .Africa has lemoved any hope of political or economic im- provement for its black population. As Jonathan Kapstein so succinctly stated on page 15 of the same issue of the Monthly, "the center camioi hold" and the nation is descending into chaos. While the issue of investment in South Africa was one of political and economic moralitv when some people, myself included, fell that the economic plessiue of threatened divestment might induce change in the apartheid system, the issue now is how to save one's capital as American companies lose their investments in South Africa. It follows that pnulent investors, in- cluding the Brown Corporation, should avoid (ommilments to such compaines before il is loo late and their capital is lost. (;k()R(;e wallerstein si Srdttlf.

[Elizabeth] Weed's closing remark, "Mavbe five years from now. women leaders will be so common at Brown that no one will even think to write an article about them" seems to recognize iliat the women in power are indistin- 4Liishable from men in power.

Chairman Robert Sc holes ol the Knglish depart- ment, for which .i one-position reduc- tion was recommended, says he won't air any grievances until there is a final outcome. "We've made representations to the administration that the decision (to cut a position) was based on misin- formation," Scholes says, adding that the adminislialion did not follow the hum.inities task group's recommenda- tion for sl.illing. .\ luimber ol lac iilt\ h.ive com- phiined about the composition and met hods of the five faculty task groups that studied each academic area last year. The task group reports were the basis for the provost's plan, although he did not adheie to all of the groups' recommendations. "Willi an\ group I pick," Cilicksman lesponds, "1 can also pick a criticism. Someone will always make ihe argument that a particular scholar is inadequately educated for such a job." His intention, he says, in choosing task-group members from among the faculty was not to insure that e\ery area of e\er\ field was rep- resented, but thai the members were c.ipable of getting an oveiall picture of how resources might be allocated at Brown. The task group members were mostly younger facultv. "The young faculty have the most at stake here," Glicksman explains. "And, among older lacult), a repulalion can lead to resis- tance to change. We deliberately chose a young group that achieved high rank at an earl\ age." Nfanv faculty also objected to what lhe\ \iewed as a power pla\ bv the administration, which disclosed staffing figures for all departments cjnly after strenuous requests from department diairmen, wlio initially were given only the numbers lor their own depart- ments. The provost was also criticized for developing the staffing plan without input from faculty other than what the task groups gathered. "Once the task forces reported," says John Savage, "there was no further contact with the departments, i don't think anv decisions should have been made unless the department chairmen saw them first. People need a chance to express their opinions. Discussing them aJIcniiiniLs is unsatisfactory." Professor of Economics George Borts agrees: "It was a public relations disaster," he says of the staffing plan's presentation last fall. "You can't chop away 'deadwood' in a universitv unless you have a con- sensus that it exists. One person's deadwood is another's live growth." Glicksman counters that the staffing plan he presented last fall should have been viewed as "a docu- ment in process. We wanted to get something on the table. How do you get a reaction to your ideas without getting some kind of plan out first?" He adds, however, that "we expected (the staffing plan) to be close to the final result." If he could change anything about the process that led to the staffing plan, Glicksman says he would have encour- aged the task groups to communicate more with departments and with out- side consultants before making their reports. All of them spoke with depart- mental representatives, and a number of them did contact outside experts, but in retrospect, "I might have tried to press them to do more." "It's always difficult to effect itisti- tutional change without actually glow- ing," President Howard Swearer said at a February faculty meeting. He sug- gested that disgruntled faculty were f(jcusing too narrowly on the numbers and the process, instead of the "intel- lectual substance," of the plan. And, Swearer pointed out, the plan "is not necessarily a zero-sum game. An ap- pointment in one department could have an impact on another department because there's so much overlap (of disciplines). We will make a greater effort for oiu" appointments to have a ripple effect on other departments." The bottom line, however, is that "clearly some departments need to shrink for others to grow. Obviously, there will never be total agreement on this." A.D. continued on page 54 18 SPORTS By James Reinbold Winter roundup Men's basketball's "road to Dallas" ended abruptly at a cul-de-sac in Syra- cuse as the I4ruins fell to the nationally- ranked Orangemen, 101-52, in the opening round of regional NCAA Tournament action on March 14 (see other stories). The Bruins put up a gal- lant effort for the first ten minutes of play, trailing by only one point, 20-19, midway through the period, before things began to unravel for the Ivy League champions. Perimeter shots that stubbornly refused to drop, a questionable traveling call, and then a discussion with the referee that led to a technical foul precipitated a 21-0 (six points in less than a minute). Pearl Washington-inspired Syracuse scoring binge that effectively put the game out of reach for Brown. Halftime found the Bruins behind, 51-23. Coach Mike Cingiser cleared the bench during the second half, giving all fifteen players a chance to savor "big time" Big East basketball and the ex- citement of the NCAA Tournament. Center Jim Turner '86 led the Bruins with 13, Todd Murray '87 added 7 points and six rebounds, and Sean Moran '88 sparkled with 7 points in four minutes. Women's swimming won its sec- ond consecutive Eastern Championship at Penn State, racking up 933 points and demonstrating its dominance over the rest of the thirty teams (second- place Penn State had 596 points). Kar- en Dieffenthaller '89 set a Brown and an Eastern record in the 50 freestyle (23.53) and a Brown record in the 100 freestyle (51.37). She qualified for the Nationals in the 50 and missed qualify- ing in the 100 by .08 of a second. Another who broke school records and earned a trip to the Nationals was Carolyn Ryder '89. She lowered the Brown standard in the 100 breaststroke to 1:05.42, and to 2:20.58 in the 200 breaststroke. Aimee Montague '89 bet- tered Katie King's '86 mark in the 1650 freestyle by six seconds, winning the event in 16:53.49. King finished sec- ond. Montague also placed third in the 500 freestyle (4:59.47). The 400 medley relay team of Colleen Phillips '86, Wendy Reinhardt '88, Dieffenthaller, and Ryder set a record (3:53.13) in that event. Reinhardt also won the 200 but- terfly in 2:03.00. King led a near sweep in the finals of the 400 individual med- ley. She finished first (4:31.29), fol- lowed by Emily Picerne '87 (fourth), Reinhardt (fifth), and Ryder (sixth). The 200 freestyle relay team combined for a winning time of 1:36.39. The Bruin depth was also evident in other events and helped widen the margin of victory. At the Nationals, held this year at the University of Arkansas in Fayette- ville, Carolyn Ryder finished twentieth in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:21.73, and Karen Dieffenthaller was twenty-second in the 50 freestyle. Women's hockey became the first Brown team to go undefeated in an Ivy season when it tied Cornell, at home, in the season finale. Lisa Bishop '86 forced the game into overtime when she scored with thirty seconds left in regu- lation. Both teams had numerous scor- ing opportunities in the overtime peri- od, but Mara Spaulder '86 and her Cornell counterpart were outstanding in the nets. Mardie Corcoran '86 had two goals and two assists, and Kim Les '88 had one goal and three assists. The Pandas earned the right to represent the Ivy League in the ECAC championships by defeating Harvard and Cornell in the Ivy League Tourna- ment. Sarah Burrow's '86 first two goals of the season put Brown ahead midway through the second period. Corcoran and Bishop each scored once in the third period. The victory avenged the two regular season 4-4 ties with Cornell. In the semi-final game against Harvard, Bishop's hat trick and Corcoran's two goals led the 8-2 rout that gave Coach Steve Shea his 1 00th career win. Brown met #l-ranked University of New Hampshire in the first round of the ECAC Championships and lost, 4-0. UNH scored in the opening minute of the game, and did not score again until the very end of the second period, moments after Bishop crashed into the UNH net, injuring her arm. The Wild- cats then scored twice in the final peri- od. Mara Spaulder had 46 saves. "We played them very close during the first two periods," Coach Steve Shea said. "The loss of Lisa had a big effect on the team." The tourney game ended the careers of Corcoran and Bishop, the Pete Monize '88 helped the wrestlers finish 3-3 in the league. two all-time leading scorers in the his- tory of women's hockey at Brown (BAA1, March). Corcoran was named ECAC Player of the Year, the second year she has received that honor. She and Bishop were also named tirst-team All-Ivy for the second consecutive sea- son. Spaulder received honorable- mention All-Ivy for the first time. Final Panda statistics showed Corcoran lead- ing in points with 49 (24 goals and 25 assists), followed by Bishop, 19 goals and 27 assists (46 points), and Les, 12 goals and 16 assists for 28 points. Women's basketball closed out regular-season play with a split on the road, losing to Princeton and beating Penn. Krista Butterfield '89 led the Bruins with 18 points against Princeton and added 12 against Penn. Kerry Kel- ley '87 set a Brown and Ivy League record of 16 assists against Penn. Hopes of gaining a measure of respectability in the Ivy Tournament were dashed in a heartbreaking loss to Dartmouth, 86-83. Christa Champion '86, who scored 13 of Brown's last 16 points (she had 32 in the game) in leading a remarkable comeback, scored at the buzzer and forced the game into overtime. But Dartmouth ran off five quick points in the opening moments of the stanza, and the Bruins could not respond. Brown reached the semi-final round by knocking off Princeton, 66-56. In that game the team shot a remarkable 94.7 percent from the foul line (18 for 19). Michelle Smith '86, who led the team in scoring with a 16.1 seasonal average, had 20 points. But- terfield netted 15, and Kelley had 14 assists and 6 steals. Smith was named first-team All-Ivy and Champion sec- ond-team. The China trip, injuries, lack of offensive punch, inconsistent goaltend- ing, mental lapses, and power-play in- effectiveness are all cited to explain the tailspin and crash of the men's hockey season. End-of-season losses to Colgate, Cornell, Princeton, and Providence College extended the winless streak to fifteen, but do not tell the whole story. The Bruins had leads in four of their last five games but just could not sustain the effort. The Colgate game was tied until 9:17 of the third period; at Ithaca, Brown took a 2-1 lead into the second period until the Big Red puminelled goalie Michel Bayard '88 (50 saves) for five goals; Princeton did not break the game open until the final thirteen min- utes; and the Bruins led the Friars, 3-2, midway through the third period, until Providence scored twice. Steve Climo '87 led the team in scoring (6-13-19), and Dan Allen '87 handed out 14 as- sists. Men's swimming suffered a deci- sive loss to Arniv and then closed out the season with a victory over Dart- mouth. In the Dartmouth meet, David Krull '89 won the 500 freestvie (4:49.96) and the 200 individual med- ley (1:58.89). Al Moser '86 won the 200 breaststroke in 2: 13.50, and captain Bill Barr '86 swam the 50 freestyle in 22 seconds flat. Diving standout Charlie Chester '88 won the one meter, and David Haase '88 won the three. The Bruins finished 7th overall (94 points) at the EISL's hosted bv Har- vard. Krull set a Brown freshman re- cord (4:05.50) in the 400 individual, good for eighth overall; and Russy set a Brown varsity record (52.02) in the 100 backstroke. His effort also placed him eighth among all the competitors. Coach Dave Amato's rebuilding program for men's wrestling appears to be right on schedule. Despite a dis- appointing final dual-meet loss to Co- lumbia, this has been one of the most successful years in Brown wrestling history. The sixteen dual-meet victories surpassed the past school record of ten, and the Bruins' final Ivy record was 3-3. The team finished thirteenth in the Eastern Tournament (fourth among the Ivies), up three slots from last year's finish. E.C. Muelhaupt '89 (158-lb.) closed out the year with a fourth-place finish at the Easterns, and Bob Hill '88 (142-lb.) finished fifth. Muelhaupt and Hill were also named All-Ivy. Hill set two new school records during his out- standing season: He scored 79 points and compiled a 17-3-1 won/lost dual- meet record. Other scoring leaders were Matt McCumber '89 (134-lb.) (15-5, 69 pts.), Muelhaupt (14-4-1, 63 pts.), and Brad Lucido '88 (1 18-lb.) (1-2, 59 pts.). And while Amato has every reason to celebrate this "great season," the best seems yet to come. "We should be in good shape next year. The entire team is returning," he says. Women's indoor track finished sixth at the Heptagonals, missing fifth by only a point. Brown finished ahead of Princeton, Cornell, Navy, and Co- lumbia. Lori Amos '89 set a new school record (8.22) in finishing second in the 55m hurdles. She also placed sixth in the high jump and ran the third leg of the 4x400 (the team placed third in 3:54.64). Jennifer Loomis's '86 school record heave of 47' 6 1/2" in the shot put was good for second place, and Donna Neale '86 finished third in the 400m, an event she won last year. Amos, Loomis, and Neale, along with Kim Deasy '89 and Kate English '89 of the 4x400 relay team, were named to the All-Ivy team. At the ECAC Championships at Yale, Loomis finished third in the shot put, Neale finished fourth in the 500m in 1:13.35, a personal best, and Amos lowered the school record in the 55m 19 SPORTS hurdles to 8.20, good for a fifth-place finish. Men's indoor track finished a dis- appointing ninth at the Heps, but there were outstanding individual perform- ances. Gerry Donini '86 set a Hep and a Brown record with a throw of 62' 5" in the shot put. Classmate Paul Bogdano- vich '86 was third. The distance relay team of Peter Loomis '88, Keith Feaster '89, Mark Ruday '89, and Greg White- ley '89 finished third in a time of 9:59.96. The mile-relay team finished fourth (3:19.60). At the New England Champion- ships, Donini set a meet record (62' 1") in the shot put, with Bogdanovich again third, and the mile-relay team finished fourth (3:21.24). Due to injuries, only a small group participated in the IC4A's. Donini again dominated the shot put competition and became Brown's first IC4A champion in more than a decade. Women's gymnastics finished a best-ever third at the Ivy League Championships behind Yale and Cor- nell. Karen D'Entremont '89 and Laura Sherry '88 tied for sixth place in the floor exercise. The Bruins were above average on the bars but slipped on the beam. D'Entremont finished ninth overall and Sue Craven '89, tenth. Brown competed with only five women in the all-around in a final meet with University of Rhode Island, University of Bridgeport, and Hofstra. Barbara Connolly '88, out most of the season with injuries, came back to lead the Bruins. Her 8.4 score on the beam pushed the team past Bridgeport. D'Entremont's 8.85 on the vault was a season high, and Sherry's 8.55 on the floor exercises was her best. D'Entremont and Kathy Coskren '89 represented Brown at the ECAC Championships at University of New Hampshire. Both had qualified for the tourney on the balance beam, and the two freshman scored well, finishing second and third respectively. Women's squash blanked Welles- ley and Penn, and then dropped a close match to Princeton, 5-4. In the final match of the season, the Bruins lost to Trinity, 5-4. There was a positive side to the defeat, however, as Brown had lost to Trinity, 6-1, during Howe Cup competition. Sue Cutler '88 reached the quarter-finals before losing at the WIRSA tournament. Lexi Hazen '87 and Eva Simpson '87 won first-round matches. Spring sports begin Men's lacrosse, ranked seventh na- tionally in the coaches' pre-season poll, dropped its season opener to third- ranked Virginia, 10-4. Virginia jumped out to a two-goal advantage in the first 44 seconds of play.

A team that believed in itself won its own NCAA championship in the Ivy League By James Reinbold Ten days after the Bruins' trip to the NCAA tournament regional playoffs in Syracuse and three weeks after the triumphant conclusion to their Ivy League basketball season, the tele- phones in the basketball offices at Mar- vel Gym were still ringing. The mail had fallen off a bit from the pre\ ions weeks' peak of fiftv letlei s a da\ . but well-wishes and congratulations from friends of Brown basketlxill were still being delivered. Coach Mike Cingiser '62 was not answering the telephone or writing thank-you notes. Instead he was in a basement room at Marvel, whacking golf balls into one of three large canvas archery targets that hung on the wall. Swinging from the left side with a wedge, he had the easy air of a man who was, at least for the moment, con- tented and relaxed; enjoying a quiet moment before the important spring recruitment of prospective freshmen. A couple of cfubs, more golf balls, and used furniture littered the wood-slatted floor of the room. For a moment it was easy to forget you were in the basement of a fifty-year-old gymnasium. It was more like being in the comfortable basement of a neighbor's house. And in a sense, Cingiser was at home. He was in the basement of the 21 22 house that "Doc" Marvel built. He wasn't tinkering with a toaster, repair- ing the leg of a chair, or putting the chain back on a kid's bicycle, however, but basking in the glor) o( what he had put together in the game room upstairs over the past fourteen weekends. Cing- iser had built a basketball champion in Doc's house. Upstairs, above the basketball court, Cingiser cleared some space to sit down in his cluttered and chaotic office. Attired in his dress polo shirt and khaki trousers, he played with two Ivv League Championship rings, pulling them off and replacing them on his fingers. During his playing career at Brown (1959-1962), he was named All-Ivy three times; he is second on the list of Brown's all-time leading scorers. While a player, he was characterized as having the ability and the talent to "play for any team in the country." But despite professional offers, including one from the Boston Celtics, C^ingiser chose coaching over playing. He spent a year at Brown as head freshman coach and assistant varsity ccjach under Stan Ward (who had coached him as a player) be- fore moving on to Lynbrook (L.I.) High School. There, over a period of eleven years, he produced six divisional champions and two Long Island South Shore champions, as well as being twice named Long Island Coach of the Year. In 197(3 he went to Hofstra, where he was assistant coach for two years. Hofstra won two East Coast Conference championships and received two NCAA Tournament bids during that time. Before returning to his alma mater in 1981, C^ingiser scouted for several teams, contributed articles to Eoilnn Bdskclhiill magazine, and assisted in the selection of the 1981 U.S. bas- ketball team that went to the World Maccabiah games in Israel. Winning only live games in his first season as Brown head coach, C'ingiser won nine games in 1982-83, eleven games in 1983-84, and then slipped to a 9-18 record last year. Before this year, his best Ivy League finish was fifth in 1982-83. The 1985-86 Ivy League Champi- onship season has been called many things, including "a magic carpet ride" and a "miracle." The team's motto, "Forget Reality," was appropriate for its loose style of play, its engaging individ- uality, and ultimately, an attitude that allowed it to take on seemingly impos- sible tasks and come out on top. The season very easily could have begun like an episode from the old television se- ries, "Mission: Impossible." The scene: Waitkus takes a jumper. In a basement room of Marvel Gvm, Coach Mike C^ingiser opens the lid of a discarded washing machine and re- moves a portable tape recorder. Out- side, the wind blows dead November leaves and newspapers in small cy- clones: overhead, dark clouds pile up on top of Marvel and Providence. Cingiser presses the on button. "Good Morning, (^oach C^ingiser. Your team has been picked to finish last in the Ivy League ... Yiniv Mission: finish fust ... This tape, along with Penn, Princeton, and (Cornell, will self-destruct, (iood luck, .Mike! " The task of capturing the Ivy title was not a goal Cingiser had set lor the team at the beginning of the season. In looking o\er the [jievious year's results, he was more concerned about the games his Bruins had lost by only a few points. "We had nine games last year that we lost by only one, two, or three points. 1 figured if we could turn those games around, win the close ones ... Well, then \()u turn your season aroutid, " Cingiser recalled. "I was thinking in terms of a winning season." A winning season. It looked as if even thai was .going to be an impossible mission as the team got off to a dismal 1-4 start — the only victory a two-point squeaker ()\er the University of Rhode Island. Then came a lopsided win over Keenc Slate, and the momentous trip south to Florida and the Orange Bowl C;lassic. There the Bruins began the style of play that was to distinguish their entire season. Thev went into each game with a lack ol inhibition and with a positive mental attitude. They deter- mined to lay it on the line each game, and if the effort left them short, so be it, there was always tomorrow. "We plaved without fear of losing," Cjiigiser remeniiiered, "l)ut with hope of win- ning." At the Orange Bowl Classic the Bruins edged Miami, u-(fs III be mure imiiieited with nature, hut I didn't want the leiiiid Intiillx tti letiiiii the identity uj hranehes.

Supporting higher education isn't a new idea. Millions of people make contributions; so do hundreds of companies. But in today's tough economic climate colleges need more support than ever. Funds for bricks and mortar aren't enough. Colleges need help in preparing students to succeed in this 1; dmological age— both on campus and in the work force. rhat requires funds for new computer- related courses and high-technology programs in management, engineering and science. This kind of support enriches the curriculum for all students, including those in liberal arts. IBM contributed more than $82 million to hundreds of schools last yean some of them represented here.

Making a Living Off Their Thinking By Katherine Hinds We are all creative. In some ways, creativity is nothing more than problem-solv- ing — how to build a better mousetrap, how to write a more evoca- tive lyric, how to see things in a way they've never been perceived before. The human mind is capable of soaring to extraordinaiy heights, and at the peak of such heights we find a Mozart, a Yeats, a Thomas Edison spinning his magic. The rest of us function at a more prosaic level: thinking of new things to make for dessert, or a new way to finance our mortgages, or a new and unusual way to drive to work. There are people who make their livings creating. It's a lonely, sometimes frightening, way to exist — producing something out of the mind's energy. Where do those ideas come from, and what happens if the source is depleted? What if the ideas can't be produced on demand? What kind of person creates? Jung said, "Creative man is a riddle that we may try to answer in various ways, but always in vain." Maybe we all have the capacity to be more creative than we are, and it's merely a question of reaching the "source." The following four alumni are creators who make their livings in very different ways: as an inventor, a filmmaker, a fashion designer, and a musicmaker. But they are all earning their board and keep with the fruits of their minds' labors. 34 Four alumni with the spirit, courage, talent, and inspiration to create MUSICMAKER PAUL PAYTON INVENTOR GEOFF GARTH FASHION DESIGNER RUTH HODGES An inventor toying with success in medical supplies The \ ievv from the front of Geoff Garth's Long Beach, Cahfornia, office reveals the Pacific Ocean sparkling like a wide band of sapphire on the near horizon. The view from the back — of the mountains — is marred bv the oil pinnps that squat and stretch like huge grasshoppers in the yard next door. The ocean and the promise of riches: two images that evoke Garth's philoso- phy of life. "The concept of being an inde- pendent inventor has always appealed to me," he says. "It's sort of the Ameri- can dream come to life — the idea that you can make a living off vour own thinking, do all the work, put in the effort before anything really happens, and then sit back and receive checks for the next seventeen vears. It frees you up to spend vour time surfing while the checks roll in." Garth, who is president of Califor- nia Medical Products, isn't yet at the point where the checks are rolling in, although his career as tov designer and inventor of emergencv medical supplies has gotten off to a good start. The son of an inventor, Garth was bitten by the inventing bug at an early age. "When I used to go to mv dad's office, it seemed like he always had a drawer of fun stuff waiting for me." In addition to the fun stuff, "Dad" was a serious inventor who conceived of the first disposable hospi- tal products, such as a bedside drainage bag and sterile packaging for catheters. It's obvious that "fun stuff is im- portant to Garth. No three-piece pin- striped suits for this CTX) — Garth pre- sides over his three-employee company 35 36 dressed casually in Banana Republic garb. His office is decorated in Early Whimsy. A video game is in one corner, a poster of two sumo wrestlers hangs over his desk, the top of a file cabinet is occupied by a large papier niache gi- raffe, a canister of sugar cookies takes up space on his desk. And there are the toys — the ones he invented, and will whip out of a drawer at a moment's notice. "I worked as a toy designer for a while, and invented a game called Strolling Bowling," he says as he winds up the small bowling bowl. "It stayed on the market for three or fom- years, and was pretty successful." (I'he wind-up bowling bowl walks on tiny feet down towards the tiny bowling pins.) "I'd take this into bars and we'd have Strolling Bowling competitions." Garth branched out and developed other games, in- cluding Funny Football, (loof-Around- Golf, and, in japan. Silly Sumo. 1 hen he got disgusted with the toy industry. "I had a toy that they spent $(i(),()(»0 developing television advertising tor, and $40,000 on the tooling. People were describing it as the best toy they'd ever seen. At a Christmas party I over- heard that the company wasn't moving ahead with development. It's crushing when you bring something along so far, and someone else kills it. It gets you disgruntled." Garths disgruntlement led him into freelance design for a while. The idea of designing a new cervical collar was suggested to him by his stepbroth- er, who is an Army doctor. At the time, he was low on capital and high on the idea of becoming an inventor. The cer- vical collar meant that "I didn't even have to go to the bank lor start-up cap- ital. 1 just went to my checking account to begin the business. All I needed was an Exacto knife and a sheet of plastic. I could do the die cuts for the prototype for about |260." The collar Garth invented, the Slifnek, was developed for use in Army medics' packs, but the military has yet to buy a collar. Instead, (iarth has been marketing the collars to emergency services in towns across the country — New ^'ork C;ity, Orange County (California), British Columbia. "I took the collar to the medical director in Long Beach, and he asked how soon he could have 400 ol them. I he collars before this were pretty use- less — basically all they did was keep the neck warm. This collar has support, portabilitv, and ease of application. Doctors asked us to put a tiacheoiomy hole in it, and we did, anfl il has no FILMMAKER ROSS McELWEE metal fasteners, because they show up on X-rays. We produced about fifty of these collars to distribute to doctors and paramedics for their feedback, and then we reacted to what they said," he explains. Garth's design has proved so suc- cessful that he has been spending a lot of time in com I recently, because foiu- companies have developed collars they claim are "like Stifneks." He has a shelf in his office with the four imitation col- lars; he calls it the "Hall of Shame." (iarth has a drawer-full of "new product files." "I have to figure out which to pursue," he says. "New prod- uct development is why 1 got into this business. That and being able to take longer vacations." His company is now developing a product they're calling E-vac, which is a portable emesis vac- uum. Garth's love for design and sense of fun come alive each Halloween, when he goes into his "lab" and designs unique costumes — including a Great While Shark, a headless man ("I won $7,000 worth of prizes with that one!"), a spider, and an eight-foot-long fire-bieathing dragon. "I had an independent major at Blown — creativity and design. 1 took an industrial design course at RISD. One instructor there told me that college was the place to follow your heart, and 1 thought, '^'l>u want to be an inventor? Slu. !

KRAMER '54 Texas Connection (First in (I series by the editor about Brmim's volunteers) For a native Soiithweslerner driving into Dallas from the east for the first tiine in two decades, the skyline rising out of the Texas plains is spectacular. No matter what you may have read about Dallas's growth, it has to be seen to be believed. I was visiting Dallas to inter- view one of those who have contributed to that growth — one of the thousands froin other parts of the country, partic- ularly from the East, who have been a part of the cultural and .social growth of what is now one of the ten largest cities in the United States. I first met Bob Kramer in 1983 during an alumni leadership workshop in Dallas. Someone referred to him as the man who had kept the Dallas Brown Club going for many years when there was not much interest on the part of other alumni and when there were far fewer Brown alumni in the area than there are now. His enthusiasm for Brown was evident dining that meeting and during ours. Dr. Robert 1. Kramer '54 is a native of Providence. He is the son of the late Providence physician Dr. Louis 1. Kramer '18 and the brother of Frederic S. Kramer '52. Many of his professors at Brown were friends of his family, and he grew up with their children. During his "four wonderful years" at Brown, he was captain of the tennis team, a member of the ("ammarian Club, president of Delta Phi, a member of Brown Key, and chairman of the Interfraternity Dance, among many other things. He "put a lot into my four years at Brown and got a lot out of it. Those were fun times," he says, with "no pressure to be an activist." Medical school was next, and he received his M.D. from Tufts in 1958. He spent two years at Yale as an intern and resident in pediatrics, but decided to look elsewhere for the remainder of his residency. He considered Dallas, New Orleans, and St. Louis and picked Dallas because it was "just emerging" as a medical center. He spent a year as chief resident in pediatrics at the Chil- dren's Medical Center and the L'niver- sity of Texas Southwestern Medical School. Then it was off to the armed services, where he was chief of pedia- trics at the L'.S. Naval Dispensary in Washington from 1961 to 1963. After that it was back to Dallas, and he has been there ever since. In fact, "1 now consider myself a Texan," he says. Bob became an instructor in pediatrics at Southwestern in 1964, and was ap- pointed a full professor in 1978. He also has been in private practice since returning to Dallas. Bob Kramer is as enthusiastic about Brown as anyone 1 have ever met. His opening line to me when we met (it was shortly after Brown had appeared on "The Today Show") was, "I just wrote Howard [Swearer] that the score was. Brown 28, Michigan 3." It's not surprising, then, that he became involved in alumni activities in Dallas. Actually, "involved" is an understate- ment. It bothered him that other Brown graduates often 'didn't feel the wa\ 1 did. " In atldition to his work keeping the Brown tMub alive, he was — and is — par- ticularly visible as a worker in the Na- tional Alumni Schools Program. He says, not immodestly, that for years students interested in coming to Brown were told to "call Bob Kramer." He still talks personally to "half a dozen kids" each year. He is on NASP's national steering committee. He is also active in raising money for Brown and served as the major-gifts chairman in the area for the recent Campaign for Brown. Bob Kramer also loves Dallas — "It's been good to me" — and is heavily com- mitted to its cultural life. The list of activities almost fills a page. He is a member of the board of directors of the Dallas Theater Center, a past president of the board of trustees of Temple Shalom, chairman of the advisory board of the Texas Coalition for Juve- nile Justice, a director of the Dallas Challenge (a drug-abuse and support service), and a director of the Greater Dallas Planning Council — among oth- ers. Of his civic activities, he says. "I don't have to do it; I want to do it." His professional life has been equally fulfilling. Asked the high point of his career, he replies: "Being a na- tionally recognized authority on cystic fibrosis." He established the Cystic Fi- brosis Foundation Care and Teaching Center in Dallas and has been its direc- tor since 1963. He is the only physician in private practice with the title of full professor at the Southwestern Medical School. He has twice been president of the medical staff at the Children's Medical Center, is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and a diplomate of the American Board of Pediatrics — among others. Bob and his wife, Joan, have four daughters, the oldest of whom, Lisa, is a senior at Brown. Bob Kramer says he has never felt that Brown played second fiddle to Harvard. Yale, or Princeton. Brown today is "an exciting place that I couldn't be prouder of. It is in the forefront of academic and intellectual life. " I asked this proud alumnus, who is cmrently a member of the Associated Alumni Board of Directors and was a candidate for alumni trustee this spring, if he had any regrets about his association with Brown: "That I'm not wealthy enough to give a million." Dallas may be 2.000 miles from Providence, but it's hard to imagine anyone closer emotionally to Brown than Bob Kramer.

CHAMPS continued from page 23 Dartmouth, the rinai game, "the best gatiie we ever played as a team," ac- cording to Cangiser. Winning the Ivy League Champiotiship has meant a lot to Mike Cangiser, but he is quick to point out that there are a lot ol people who "own a piece ol il," and from whose backs "a great btii'den has been lifted. " Cingiser is fond ol using analogies to get his point acioss, and he used one in t.iiking about how the championship ring on his fingei made him feel, "^'ou remem- ber the movie Blazing Saddles?" he asked rhetorically. "I went to see it one after- noon ami busted up. 1 went home and told tny wife, '\'ou got to see this mov- ie.' 'But vou just saw it," she said. I told her 1 didn't care, that 1 wanted iici to see it. 1 took her that night, and I had just as great a time sitting there watch- ing her laugh as I had that afternoon. That's how 1 feel about this. I feel great because so niaiiv other (leople feel great." Besides that, Biowii's champi- otiship season has sent a t lear message to the league that vou don't have to be a I'cmi or .1 I'linceton to win the title. (atigisei has mixed emotions about the Bruins' little side li ip into the world of Big Kast basketball and the NCAA Tournametil. While he has been ofl- quoted on the dessert analogy — "The NCAA Tournament was dessert. The otiK problem was that the whipped cream w.is spoiled" — thcie is mote to it: "But after a fourteeti-course dinner [the Ivy League season], do you really need dessert?" It will be a long titnc — perhaps never — before an Ivy League team like the Bill Bradley-led Priticeton Tigers of the mid-()()s or the Pemi teams of the early '/Os will i)e able to challenge the powerful teams of the NCIAA. Biowti's trip to Svracusc was, at best, an iitilor- gettable experience f<)r the team and, at worst, a rathei stinging humiliatioti. Because of such disparity , Cangiser would much rather see an Ivy League rournament etid the season. He envi- sions play being held at the home court of the Ivv League wiimer, with the champion getting a lirst-round bye. Two weekend nights of action would result in an Ivy lomiiament C^ham- pion. "And that wa\, " Cingiser ex- plains, "you ha\e the chance to make two coaches, two teams, and two gmups of alumni happy." |H A UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT FOR ADVERTISING LEAGUE MAGAZINES reach a significant segment of the wealthiest, most influential men and women in the marketplace.

The sixth Providence Joumal/Erown public affairs conference brought sev- eral speakers representing private in- dustry, academic institutions, and local and state government to campus to dis- cuss various issues relevant to the ques- tion: "Has the U.S. lost its competitive edge in the world market?" Richard D. Lamm, the governor of Colorado, turned the question around to ask, "How do we make our society competitive enough so that we really are a viable economic unit into the twenty-first century?" He compared American society with Japan: "The United States trains a thousand lawyers for every hundred engineers. The Jap- anese train a thousand engineers for every hundred lawyers. Ask yourself, which society is going to prevail in a highly technical, economically competi- tive world?" Lamm, who has been dubbed "Governor Gloom" by media pundits tor his often pessimistic views of the future, examined some of the "sacred cows" that may have to be permanently put out to graze if American society wants to continue to compete. He be- gan by contrasting the way Americans educate their youth with the Japanese and Taiwanese methods. "Japan and Taiwan graduate 95 percent of their kids from high school; we graduate 74.8 percent. They go to school 240 days a year; our kids go 180 days a year. They go eight hours a day; my kids are home after five and a half hours. The average Japanese student, when he graduates, will go three or four more years in total education time than our kids." Lamm then moved on to discuss the federal budget and the number of things that could be trimmed. "The veteran's benefits: If you took a bullet in Vietnam, God bless you; we ought to fix you. If you fall off a bar stool in Providence, should we fix you? Military pensions: The average enlisted man retires at thirty-nine in America; the average officer at forty-three.

ILM-486 paid by the government? Is that fair? Social Security: The person who sweeps the floor in Sayles tonight will contrib- ute to a Social Security fund that we'll send to a retired doctor in Florida so he can drive his boat around. Tell me So- cial Security should be immune from this conversation?" The military was not exempt from Lamm's scrutiny. "Look at two societies, one of which spends 7 percent of their gross national income for military, the other spends less than 1 percent on their military. One puts 40 percent of their mathematicians and scientists into building a better military machine, the other puts all of their scientists, all of their mathematicians, all of their best brains into building better television sets, V.C.R.'s, consumer products. Who's going to 'win'?" Lamm made lawyers out to be wolves. "We are too much of an adver- sarial society. Two thirds of all the law- yers in the world live in the United States. How can we streamline [our judicial system]? Do you think the Jap- anese or the Taiwanese spend huge amounts of money in litigation? Heck, no. One expert called the probate sys- tem in this country the screwing of the average American corpse. Every time someone dies, lawyers make money." And Lamm didn't forget the health-care industry. "We've got 200,000 excess hospital beds in Ameri- ca. Thirty percent of the people in hos- pital beds at any given time don't need to be there. They're there for the con- venience of their insurance policy or their doctors. We have to look at HMO's, and we're going to have to look at the role of lawsuits. A lawsuit hangs like a sword of Damocles over the medical profession." Lamm ended his talk the way he began it: with a plea that Americans take a close, hard look at the way their youth is being educated. "The U.S. ranks forty-ninth out of 150 members of the United Nations in literacy tests. In nineteen international tests, the U.S. didn't score in the top two-thirds. This is not a society that is on its way to prosperity in the twenty-first century. There are all kinds of things we can do to make our kids better in education, and il we don't do it, we're going to be a loser in the international race. "I think the government really can try to make people understand that prosperity is not a national guarantee. Toynbee was right: that all institutions in the history of mankind seem at a certain time to become incestuous, bureaucratic, unresponsive, non-cre- ative, and complacent. In my opinion, that exactly describes what America is right now." Other speakers at the conference included Adm. B.R. Inman, USN (Ret.), president and CEO, Microelec- tronics and Computer Technology Corporation; Barry Bluestone. pro- fessor of economics at Boston C:ollege and author of The Deindustrializatum o] America; Robert Z.

Student rock impostors raise money for MS Eric Delos Santos '89 has chutzpah. How else could a guy with an asymme- trical coiffure and round wire-frame glasses mimic George Michael — the teenybopper idol from the pop group Wham! — well enough to win a lip svnc contest? First, Delos Santos sprayed gold paint in his hair and penciled stubble on his face and chest. Next, he donned a funky outfit and Ray Ban sunglasses. Then he shimmied and clapped, wig- gled and pranced to "I'm Your Man" — -just the way his roommates had coached him to. Delos Santos's performance in this campus-wide Rock-Alike contest won him four tickets to a taping of "Satur- day Night Live" in New York. But more important, it raised money for the Brown chapter of Students Against Multiple Sclerosis (SAMS), a national organization that is out to "bust" a dis- ease that afflicts an estimated 500,000 Americans. Wendy Nadel, assistant director of SAMS, says that the idea for SAMS was born two years ago, when board mem- bers of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society launched an awareness cam- paign among the population most af- fected by MS. The majority of those diagnosed with MS are between the ages of eighteen and thirty-four. The disease strikes the central nervous sys- tem, often causing incontinence in addition to other losses of inuscle con- trol. "There's no cure and no preven- Rock-Alike winner Eric Delos Santos '89. tion for MS," says Nadel. We're still at the point where we don't even know what causes it." Nadel was at Brown last month for a conference co-sponsored by Brown Community Outreach and the Campus Outreach Opportunity League. Music Television (MTV), one of the corporate sponsors for SAMS, sug- gested the Rock-Alike contest as a fund-raising competition for 130 par- ticipating schools. Delos Santos will test his skills against students from twelve New England colleges when Brown hosts one of eight regional competitions in April. Those winners will compete in a round-robin tournament on MTV. The national champion will receive an internship at MTV, while the school that raises the most money will be the site of an MTV-broadcast concert next fall. According to Marc Freidberg '87, SAMS co-chairman. Brown has already raised $4,000, the bulk of it from an auction of faculty and deans' services, and from students' pledges when Mi- chael Spalter '87 ran in the New York City Marathon last fall. Freidberg ad- mits that Brown's small size may place it out of the SAMS fund-raising competi- tion, but he is optimistic about Delos Santos's chances of winning at the re- gionals. Delos Santos says he is serious about representing Brown on MTV. "I practiced all during spring break," he says. "Even my mom is helping me: She sent me a black silk shirt froiTi Honolulu for the contest. I reallv want a costume that will knock people out." CM. Four students fast to protest Brown's divestment policy Two weeks after the Brown Corpora- tion announced its policy on divestment of South African stocks, four Brown students sought sanctuary in Manning Chapel to begin what was to be a ten- day fast. The students were protesting the new policy, which entails a limited, phased divestment of stocks in compa- nies that are not in compliance with the Sullivan Principles (BAM. March). At a press conference held Febru- ary 27, the day after the fast began, the students explained their motives. "We are fasting as an act of personal con- science, in solidarity with the black South African experience of apartheid, and as an expression of revulsion at Brown University and the LInited States government for their support of apart- heid," said Audi Feron '88. "The fast is a public expression of our political be- liefs." The fasters, all of whom are members of the Brown Free Southern Africa Coalition, maintained that they were making no demands of the Brown Corporation or of the Brown adminis- tration. The University administration chose to deal with the fasters on a day- to-day basis, explaining that the prima- ry concern was for the health of the students. "Fasting is a legitimate form of expression," President Swearer said. "My only concern is medical." Vice President for University Relations Robert Reichley mentioned another concern after the fasters had been in Manning for more than a week: the University's liability. Campus sentiment about the issue was mixed. Although the fasters were trying to focus attention on the plight of South Africa, many people were dis- tracted bv the means they chose. One student told the Providence Journal, "A fast should be used by people with no other alternative," and said she was uncomfortable about the fast because it could harm the fasters. Someone else ordered pizza to be delivered nightly to Manning. A student strike held the day before tfie fast ended attracted a couple hundred students to the Green to listen to speakers and watch guerrilla theater productions. The fast ended when the adminis- tration followed through on its threat to "disenroll" the students. "Disenroll- ment," according to Reichley, was a term used to avoid using "expulsion," 55 LINDERTHE ELMS because that would have sounded like a disciphnary action, something the administration insisted it was not. "As soon as they eat, we enroll them," Dean of Student Life Eric Widmer said. The students ended their fast — and were re-enrolled — because they wanted to avoid a confrontation that might have ensued if the Uni\ersitv had tried to remove them forciblv from the chapel. K.H. Dean of faculty post to be filled by July The position of dean of the faculty, which has been combined with the job of provost since Maurice Cllicksnian's appointment in 1978, has been estab- lished once again as a separate position. President Swearer announced at a fac- ulty meeting earlier this year that the new dean will be chosen from among Brown's current facultv, with an ap- pointment likeh bv )ulv. "I've alwavs felt there were two jobs here," Glicksman said, explaining that he had urged that his responsibilities be divided. "That's whv I retained two ti- tles. I've felt for some time that it was getting more difficult to do justice to both jobs." Much of Glicksman's time and energy during the past year have gone into creating the University's aca- demic staffing plan, and dealing with the ongoing discussions that followed its annoinicement in November. Glicksman will continue to serve as provost. The dean of the faculty will be re- sponsible for hiring new jimior facultv, overseeing all tenure actions and pro- motions, setting departmental budgets, and implementing the new staffing plan. He or she will serve as the facul- ty's principal advocate and spokesman. AD.
