I he "something else lh.il no one seemed lo know the words to" was probabl) the "Alma Mater," which Mr. Wald ought to have recognized w it h or without us lyrics.

Wald 76 im- plies that "Ever 1 rue to Blown" is Brown's sole anthem Mr. Wald should be made aware of the large numbei ol theme songs that many Brown alumni sing with pride. "I vei 1 1 ue to Brown" has two sels ol Kins. Most ol today's graduates know the "traditional wotds" that Mr. Wald refers to. Oldei and some newer graduates know the origi- nal words. There are also olhet Blown anthems: "The Blown Cheering Song." "Brown Forevermore," "I'm a Brown Man Born," "For Bruno and for Brown." "Brunonia as We Co March- ing," "In the Fray/' and "Bring the Victory to Brown." All of these songs are frequend) played by the Brown Band, and the music and lyrics can be found in the Blown University Band album recorded in November 1979. I am pretty sure that this album is still available from the band. The difficulty that is always found at the Senior Sing is getting other stu- dents to sing some of these other tunes. Brown is not in need of another theme song — it is only in need of making its current students aware of the many tributes to Brown that already exist. IRVIN lis 1 IC '83 Menlo Park, Calif.

Sandys 9-20 Bermuda A member of the Bermuda Collection Southern Lebanon in 1978; the use of cluster bombs and the bombardment of Beirut in 1982? Is he so ideologically blinded that the thousands of Arab ci- vilians — women, children, and yes, wheelchair-bound old men — targeted and killed by the Israeli "Defense" Forces have no place in his memory? Or does he perform racist rationaliza- tions, such as defining all Arabs as potential" terrorists in need of exter- mination? Mr. Fudenberg's self-righteous appeal to the conscience of the Western world in the face of Eastern barbarism (as if the progenitors of Nazism and Nagasaki have cornered the market on moral currency) is self-serving and glib. His letter reflects the mentality that presents an obstacle to Professor Bee- man's hope of negotiations in the Mid- dle Fast; a mentality that refuses to acknowledge the humanity and suffer- ing of the Other; a mentality concerned with self-justification; a mentality, to paraphrase von Clausewitz, immersed in the rhetoric and logic of war. GEORGE MAKARI 82 New York City Editor: I read with interest the ar- ticle on the Middle East by Professor Beeman in the June-July issue, and the letter of Philip Coates '67, commenting on an earlier Beeman article. I must say I find myself more in agreement with Mr. Coates than with the professor. While I can agree with much of what Beeman says, I find some of his state- ments strike me as too categorical or too dismissive. For example, he says that "our largest military commitment is to the U.S. Central Command," and that this force is "ready to go." However, it is my understanding that while the situation has improved in the last five years, the 'Central Command is essentially a headquarters, to which various combat units are assigned in case of need. But these units, in many instances, have other assignments in other theaters, and the Central Command could not count on them with certainty. In addi- tion. I know from a study I did for a congressional committee in 1981 that U.S. sealilt capabilities leave something to be desired. John Collins, in his au- thoritative sludv, U.S.-Soviet Military Malance: 1980-1985 (N.Y.: Pergamon- Brassev's, 1985), also notes the trans- portation uncertainties attendant on am proposed deployments in the Per- sian (.nil.

Professor Beeman also seems to deprecate the issue of Soviet involve- ment in terrorism, in my view errone- ously. True, there may be no smoking gun, but when East German or Bulgar- ian instructors (from Soviet client states) are found in terrorist training camps in South Yemen (a Soviet client state), or when terrorists from Western Europe obtain arms in Czechoslovakia, or go to Libya for rest and recreation, one would imagine that someone in the Soviet intelligence apparatus knows and approves, and that indeed there is ap- proval at high levels in the Soviet gov- ernment. That the Soviets themselves have been involved in terrorist training is documented in Terrorism: The Soviet Connection, l>\ Rav Cline and Yonah Alexander. The interconnections of Middle Eastern and European terrorist groups, and their coordination and promotion l>\ the Soviet Union, is illus- trated in Ihdta <>/ Carnage. .1 stholarlv Collection despite its somewhat lurid tide. Even il the USSR had absolute!) nothing to do w uh tei rot ism, to the extent u i^ .1 destabilizing factoi in world politics 11 setvev Soviet interest. Professor Beeman also says that the incidence of Palestinian terrorism diminishes every time there is move- ment toward a peaceful settlement. But such moves also trigger violence bv those elements that want no peace. Some of the most bloody terrorist inci- dents of the 1970s were staged against Israel precisely for this reason, and those committing the acts made no bones about their motives. I refer Pro- fessor Beeman to Transnational Terror- ism, bv Edward Mickolus, a book that is essentially a compilation of terrorist incidents. Furthermore, various Arab leaders who have suggested that peace be reached with Israel have been gunned down bv their more violent i olleagues. I must also confess that I do not understand the "significant problem" with French-Canadian terrorism to v\hi(h (he professor refers. The French-Canadian terrorists never targeted U.S. interests or American nationals that I'm aware of. Their at- i.k ks were aimed at the Canadian gov- ei mucin. It was a Canadian domestic problem, and I don't see it as compara- ble to the tei roi ism emanating From the ^r^ T^s* Brown s Summer College arid The Brown Travelers team for The Ultimate Continuing College Educational Adventure ON THE BROWN CAMPUS J U N E 2 1 - 2 6 1 9 8 7 The Americas AN D I N M E SO A M ERICA JANUARY1988 Plan now for this dynamic opportunity to spend a week at Brown hearing state-of-the-art experts teach what is known about the Americas— from early geological evolution through the defined Mayan and Incan civilizations, the Colonial invasions and finally an understanding of the underpinnings of today's political climate . . . and then as an option, six months later . . .

JUDITH CORBETT BARTOW '57 CAROL WOSAK HILL '57 JANET O'CALLAGHAN MARIANI '57 EUGENIE LOUPRET MARTIN '57 DOROTHY SENERCHIA '55 New York City Poor maintenance Editor: I returned for my 35th reunion this past May and generally was proud of what I saw and heard. However, I was distressed by the physi- cal state of some of the buildings and grounds. Granted, I saw the campus at the end of a school year before the healing effects of summer's peace, but there nonetheless seemed to be much evidence of poor maintenance. If we don't take care of what we already have, it discourages thoughts of something new. The grounds of the Wriston and West Quadrangles seemed sadly neg- lected. I remember particularly the erosion around the "kiosks" naming Hughes and Patriots Courts, and the small gate by Harkness House where rust has destroyed the name the gate was intended to commemorate. Several women expressed distress over the condition of Andrews Hall at Pem- broke. Otherwise, it was a pleasant reun- ion filled with a good deal of nostalgia and affection which the rain only dampened a bit. DICK WILSON '51 Boston Latin is alive and well Editor: I am not a Latinist. Indeed, I chose to graduate from Brown with a degree of Ph.B. instead of a B.A., be- cause the former required less study of Latin than the latter: a craven choice. During my undergraduate years, I suffered some embarrassment, how- ever, because so many of my classmates weie products of Providence's Classical High School, whence they had been spawned with deep immersion not only in Latin but also in classical Greek. The recent controversy in your pages revolving around the authorship of those famous words "Delenda est Car- tagoV has been highly gratifying to me, in its reassurance that even in these non-classical days of despond, Latin remains not only well but in the fore- front of so many alert alumni minds. It is nice to have the words prop- erly ascribed to Cato rather than (erro- neously) to Cicero, and it is also inter- esting to draw parallels between those ancient times and our own, as was neatly done by correspondents Rice and Richardson. But now I wish to add a personal confession of error, and also a pseudo- learned note that may have escaped many. The phrase itself is an example of a Latin construction called the passive paraphrastic, which carries with it an implication of future compulsion. This has recently been elucidated to me by a close associate of mine at the University of Arizona, truly a man for all seasons, who is competent in Classical Latin, colonial Spanish, German, Papago, and even in English. My personal confession is that for more than seventy-five years I had be- lieved that the words were uttered "post facto" by Scipio Aemilianus (surnamed Africanus Minor), the Roman general who actually did the deed. I have visit- ed Carthage, and I can testify that he was thorough, which would have grati- fied Cato, who unfortunately had died three years earlier.

This year, the BCLIR program has enrolled nearly eighty people who are actively involved in learning — and teaching themselves — subjects as general as modern art and American music, and as specific as cults in America. What binds the BCLIR participants together is the burning desire to learn more, or, as one member put it, "I just want to keep exercising my gray matter." As retired teacher Teresa Mellone '39 says, "Retirement is for the birds, frankly. This is one way people can stay active and keep their minds sharp." BCLIR ("Be clear" as it's fondly called) is a partnership between Brown and retired or semi-retired people in the community. The program is an outgrowth of the Brown Learning Community (BAM, October 1983), and as far as Dean of Special Studies Mark Curran is concerned, BCLIR is "at the heart of what we're trying to do in spe- cial studies. The kind of spirit, the con- tinued love of learning that special studies is all about, is best exemplified by this program." Curran was the midwife for the program. Three years ago, when the nighttime program of the Learning Community was initiated, Curran su- spected that there was a local audience of retirees who might be interested in continuing education, but who might not want to venture out at night. So he ran a short blurb in his BLC catalogue, offering collaborative education semi- nars in the daytime. "The fact was," he told the George St. Journal, "the Brown Community for Learning in Retirement didn't exist at the time we offered it." When a dozen people responded to Curran's offer, he organized them into executive and curriculum commit- I tees, and together they worked out sev- eral semesters of courses. "My work was mostly starting it," Curran admits to- day, "and now the program is thriving and very much alive," a fact that he is proud of. "You know, the primary mis- sion of Brown is about education as it relates to younger people. One model we inculcate is that education is a life- time commitment, but there's some- thing strange about making that state- ment, then looking around at the population of the University and notic- ing that, by and large, it's all under thirty years old." Not anymore. Now there is a small, albeit lively, group of people ranging from age fifty-five to mid-eighties who consider themselves very much part of the LIniversity. The University provides BCLIR space for meeting, use of the libraries, discounts on theater and ath- letic events tickets, subscriptions to the community newspaper, the George St. Journal, and a portion of Mark Curran's time. The BCLIR participants do the rest — from choosing what classes will be offered, to recruiting new members, to teaching the classes. The collaborative learning aspect of BCLIR classes is both a selling point and a deterrent. Although one partici- pant coordinates the class, each mem- ber of a BCLIR seminar is responsible for investigating one aspect of the topic being studied, and then informally presenting the information during the seminar. Wide-ranging discussions generally follow each presentation. "There are a limited number of edu- cated people at or near retirement age, who are particularly interested in col- laborative learning," Curran says. "Most are interested in lecture pro- grams — passive learning experiences. This program is similar to a GISP [Group Independent Study Program] at the undergraduate level at Brown." "The concept of collaborative learning is wonderful," says Mellone. "My phi- losophy in teaching is to draw students in, not to lecture at them. If you can get them to come to the fountain and drink, that's when learning is most ex- citing." "Doing the research part and writ- ing it up is a major factor that might discourage people," admits Carl Bloom, BCLIR chairman for marketing and recruitment. "When I am talking to people who might be interested in join- ing, I just tell them that none of us in BCLIR are Einsteins. I tell people that we're just like they are, although not as smart. And I tell them of my own ex- perience in BCLIR — that even after fifteen years of teaching, I still get ner- vous when I have to do a presentation. I advise them to take responsibility for a session far into the semester, so they can see how others are doing." Seminars are selected by a curricu- lum committee. Arline Kiven. formerly a history professor at the Community College of Rhode Island and chairman of the curriculum committee, explains that the committee seeks suggestions for seminars from the general mem- bership. "We try to choose up to ten seminars a term. This year we have just finished a training seminar and work- shop for all the coordinators — we don't like to call them teachers — of the semi- nars. I'm teaching the course on cults and Utopias in America, and I worked on putting it together all summer. The mental stimulation is the main thing. I've gotten into areas of reading I wouldn't ordinarily get into." What is the average BCLIR partic- ipant like? "Intellectually curious, quite sociable, adventurous, and culturally broad," Bloom says. More than 90 per- cent of the participants have college degrees, and some are still active pro- fessionally. They are also people who want to stay active socially as well as intellectually. Moli Prebluda, executive chairman for BCLIR, savs that "we're elite in the respect that our members come from all professions, and gener- allv have one or two degrees. We are people who want to keep active as we — quote, decline, unquote." Prebluda, who is coordinating a seminar on the short story this semes- ter, is something of an evangelist when it comes to BCLIR. "I have gotten tre- mendous rewards in many areas. BCLIR has opened me up socially and intellectually, and kept my husband and me tremendously excited about life, the University, and our studies. UNDERTHE ELMS Seminar coordinator Moli Prebluda (picture at left) teaches a course on the "world's greatest short stories." "I have to say that BCI.IR has been more rewarding than my career. I was .1 teacher, which was mv priesthood, as James Joyce would say, hut litis has done more for me. It's a marvelous adjunct to my retirement." Prebluda and hci husband, Irving, a retired pharmacist, have been in- volved in BCI.IR from the beginning. "Prior to this, our lives were together, but our interests were separate." she says. And now they are sharing inter- ests — "My husband has been in every one of the seminars I have coordinat- ed." The social element ol BCI.IR is attractive lor many retirees. A social committee is responsible for planning outings to museums and other univer- sities, .ind each seminar has beginning- and end-of-term parties. The seminars themselves are often social events. "1 had to ilose a course I was coordinating last semester, because it was too crowd- ed," Prebluda recalls. "Someone who couldn't get in came to me to say how disappointed she was, and said, 'You people are such a marvelous, fun group.' We have all become such good 1 1 lends." C'.urran suspects that "this kind of program will spread as the American population ol college graduates pushes into retirement. In fifteen <>i twenty years, the baby boomers will be bene- fitting from expanded college educa- tion." Curran points out that the pro- gram in collaborative education is not unique to Brown. "Harvard has a simi- lar program, as do Duke, American University in Washington, UCLA, and Cal Berkeley. I would urge older alum- ni to get involved in these programs if they live in those areas." "When you get older," Cat! Bloom says, "you feel you have a great deal of wisdom accrued from a lifetime of experience. This program allows us to speak up with our views. And, you know, another frustration of being re- ined is that you still might have lots of energy and need a channel for it, a vent for your thoughts and ideas. It's frus- trating to be so smart and not have anyone who listens. Well, we listen to each other now." K.H. The report on the quality of life for minority students at Brown: A dissent and an update 10 In the six months since a blue ribbon committee of visiting dignitaries finished its study of the quality ol life and education of minority students at Brown, some of the committee's rec- ommendations are being implemented, and others are in the works. (See ac- companying Elms.) And, a dissenting opinion by committee member Lerone Bennett, Jr., senior editor of Ebony Magazine, was published, along with an updated version of the original report, "The American University and the Pluralist Ideal." The report was commissioned in the spring of 1985 in response to dem- onstrations by minority students pro- testing the quality of life on campus. (BAM, December 1985, June 1986). The visiting committee was composed ol educators, alumni, and parents of current and former Brown students, and was chaired by Dr. Augustus A. White III '57, a Brown Fellow. Although Bennett endorsed the basic theme of the majority report on minority student life, his minority re- port "conveys a greater sense of urgen- c \ " and accuses the original report of lacking a sense of priorities. In his critique of the report, Ben- nett specified five major areas in which he disagreed with or disputed the com- mittee's tone, process, or conclusions. Bennett maintains: □ "The majority report assumes in some cases the point of view of the University." Bennett says that the ma- jority report at times had an apologetic tone. He also criticized the report for tailing to address specific issues dealing with Brown's curriculum and its lack of emphasis on Third World issues. Bennett lauded President Swearer for taking a more "forthright" ap- proach in his statement on "Race Rela- tions at Brown" (BAM, April 1985). "[W]hat is it that we either do or fail to do that continues to give members of our Third World community the un- comfortable sense that they are margi- nal to the dominant interests and activ- ities of the University?" Swearer asked in his statement. □ "The majority report evades is- sues." The first draft of the report claimed that "the students' demands were well heard and understood." Bennett objected to the word "well," and it was deleted, but he says the Statement is still inaccurate — that the issues are not understood and that there is "even resistance to under- standing." □ "The majority report is marred in several instances by inarticulate con- servative premises." The charge to the visiting committee said that the term "Third World" is used frequently and in different ways at Brown. "The visit- ing committee members should become familiar with the usage." Bennett points out that in the beginning of the majori- ty report, the committee takes issue with the concept of the Third World, and "elects" to use the word "minority." Bennett also disagrees with what he perceived as an attack on militancy — that militancy was not a "psycholog- ical coping mechanism, and a distrac- tion," as the report stated (although it agreed it was a "reasonable" political response.) Bennett argues that "for an oppressed person, struggle is a form of education, perhaps the highest form of education." □ "The majority report lacks a sense of urgency and a sense of priori- ties." Bennett says simply that the list of recommendations should be put in order of priority, and there should be a mechanism for periodic reports on compliance. □ "The majority report is a product of a flawed process." Bennett claims that although the committee was guar- anteed a chance to read the final draft of the report and "sign off on it, the final draft was sent to the printer with- out the knowledge and consent of the full committee and two of three mem- bers of the drafting committee. John Robinson '67, dean of students and one of the staff facilitators for the commit- tee, admits that there was some confu- sion when the report got to the printing stage, but that other members were not concerned. "Mr. Bennett's report is indeed a dissenting opinion," Robinson said. "It was not born of a process, such as a Supreme Court decision would be. It does not summarize minority opinion — it was one man's opinion. There were seventeen members on that commit- tee." Dr. White, the chairman of the committee, told the Brown Daily Herald thai "the difference is really a matter of tone and style rather than substance. In principle, it agrees with the committee opinion, but slates it more urgently than the committee opinion." White called the dissenting opinion "this mi- nor dissent by one individual." K.H. Update When the seventeen-member "blue ribbon" committee set up to study mi- nority life on the Brown campus issued their report last spring. President Howard Swearer said firmly, "This requires action. It asks what more can we be doing and sets the agenda for the next couple of years. Expectations have been raised." Expectations were high. And, as Swearer reported to a November meet- ing of the Advisory and Executive committee of the Corporation, progress has been made in some areas, and there is work to be done in others. Roughly, the eighteen recommen- dations made by the visiting committee broke down into those relating to fac- ulty, the administration, or students. Those relating to the administration have been done; several recommenda- tions relating to faculty have been done, mostly the ones that the provost's office could implement by itself; the student- oriented recommendations are still under discussion, with some progress expected by this semester's end. Here are the visiting committee's eighteen recommendations, followed by the progress report: /. More ethnic-related materials and more departmental courses on the experience and heritage of minorities. The dean of the College, Harriet Sheridan, is ac- tively encouraging implementation based on a Ford Foundation grant for "Collaborative Modes of Teaching and Learning: To Share a Pluralistic Curri- culum." 2. Greater emphasis to ethnic and mi- nority concerns in the curriculum; distribu- tion of information on ethnic-related courses. The dean of the College has published "Third World Studies — Brown Univer- sity," prepared by Associate Professor of Anthropology Lina Fruzzetti, which lists eighty-seven courses spanning fifteen departments. It was disseminat- ed to the academic advisory network this year; it will be updated and dis- seminated to all students in future years. 3. Faculty consideration of a gradua- tion requirement in American ethnic or Third World studies. To be considered by the Education Policy Committee and the provost. Some questions have al- ready been raised about its consistency with the educational principles of the New Curriculum. 4. Faculty consideration of an Ethnic Studies concentration and an Ethnic Studies Research Institute. Also to be considered by the EPC. The provost is reviewing it with interested departments, programs — for example, American Civilization and Afro-American Studies — and members of the faculty. 5. Appoint one member of each depart- ment, program, or center to focus on minor- ity faculty recruitment. The dean of the faculty and a new group, the Campus Minority Affairs Committee (set up to serve as a middle ground for the cam- pus's racial communities), have pre- pared a list of individuals and are now working with them to implement the detailed suggestions under this recom- mendation. 6. Establish a faculty seminar series with prominent attention to minority issues. Professor Emeritus Harold Pfautz is helping the provost establish this series next academic year. 7. Expand writing and math "ski/I sta- tions" to other locations with increased stu- dent access. The writing and math cen- ters are helping the dean of the College with plans to implement this next aca- demic year. 8. Designate deans to monitor the atu- demic performance of minority students and direct those in academic trouble to appropri- ate resources. Deans Preston Smith and Armando Bengochea, working with other deans as appropriate, have been so designated. 9. Designate an academit resources advisor in each department, program and center. The dean of the faculty has done so. 10. Appoint a new dean to focus on support for Latino students. The new dean is Armando Bengochea, with an office in the Third World Center. //. Support all student groups seeking to promote racial understanding. The deans of students and student life are actively consulting the UCS and Third World Center on the most effective ways of doing this. 12. Broadei mandate and increased administrative involvement in the Third World Transition Program. This year, the TWTP already benefited from a broader scope, including more specific academic programing, which culminat- ed in a plenary session speech bv Levi Adams, associate vice president for biology and medicine, and a special Racial Awareness Communications Exchange (RACE) workshop/dinner for TWTP participants and their non-mi- nority roommates. TWTP received increased academic and administrative attention and support, which resulted in closer program planning with stu- dent leaders — encouraging trends that will continue in the future. / >. ('.utile an "ombudsman" to serve It UNDERTHE ELMS minority students. The deans of students and student life are actively working with various groups to implement this recommendation, from a new full-time position to several individuals filling this function in new ways. 14. New initiatives by the I 'CS to im- prove interraeial communication and inter- cultural exchange. The dean of students is consulting with UCS on new initia- tives. 15. New endorsement by the adminis- tration and students for the Racial Aware- ness Communications Exchange program. The RACE hudget has been augment- ed, a student coordinator has been hired, and the dean of student life has assigned another staff member to work with RACE. Additional ideas are being canvassed with RACE and the Chap- lain's Office. 16. New and creative planning by the TWC to preserve the cultural assets of Hu- mility gmiips and shaic them with the L'ui- versity community. The dean of the Col- lege and the director of the TWC. are actively consulting students, faculty, and administration in order to develop programs that will further enhance TWC's contributions to minorities and the overall community. //. Regular and focused attention by the president and senim stuff In race illa- tions and Humility issues. The president has re-established the CMAC as a forum of campus discussion and advice for further action, and he and his staff have held several meetings to imple- ment recommendations already re- ceived from the visiting committee and members of the University community. 18. Continuing actum by the Corpora- tion Committee on Minority Affairs, includ- ing objective evaluation at least biennially. The committee has reviewed and sup- ported the visiting committee's report and will meet next February to deter- mine additional steps for follow-up, monitoring, and evaluation. From terror in the Cambodian jungle to a new life at Brown 12 Seven years ago, Arn Chorn-pond '90 lay close to death in a refugee camp on the border of Thailand. Today, weal- ing a polo shirt, Levi cords, and bac k- pack, he looks like any other Brown student. But the memory of the refugee camp is always with him, and onl\ re- cently has he been able to smile. Chorn-pond was one of millions of Cambodians terrorized b\ the Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s. He wit- nessed brutal killings and tortures, and he compares the horror of the Khmer Rouge to the Nazi Holocaust. "I have learned about Auschwitz," he says. "Maybe more than Auschwitz I have seen. It is like a second Holocaust.'' Arn Chorn-pond's story is one of a nation used as a pawn in a superpower chess match, and of a young ben who was, as he puts it, lucky enough to sur- vive. Cambodia suffered the misfortune of being strategically important to op- posing countries. During the Vietnam War, President Nixon recognized Cambodia's potential as a military base: It shares a border with Vietnam. Com- munist countries such as then-North Vietnam and China, eager to gain con- trol of Southeast Asia and repel the United States, also viewed Cambodia as a crucial military stronghold. King Si- hanouk of Cambodia knew that the only way to avoid invasion was to re- main neutral. Unfortunately, Sihanouk's policy of neutrality did not hold up. "During that time," explains Chorn-pond, "the U.S. gave guns and money to our prime minister." Sihanouk then tried to ap- Arn Chorn-pond: At age 20, he is finally able to smile. pease China by demonstrating that Cambodia had no ties to the U.S. "That was dangerous," says Chorn-pond. "The United States right away accused [Sihanouk] of being a communist. Nix- on gave money under the table to Lon Nol, who was pro-American, and said, 'Kick Sihanouk out.' Coup d'etat, they call it." Sihanouk left Cambodia, and Lon Nol took over. A band of Khmer Rouge and Viet Cong, both communist, was already plotting against Lon Nol. "And the war started from that," says Chorn- pond. "The United States is afraid of communists, and communists are all aid of the United States. And the little c ountry gets killed." In 1975, when the Viet Cong as- sumed power in Vietnam, the Khmer Rouge took power in Cambodia — and the killings began. "Khmer Rouge killed three million in three years," says Chorn-pond, "including my family. They killed all the educated people; they killed the teachers. If you knew how to read or write, they killed you." The orphaned Chorn-pond was captured by the Khmer Rouge and forced to light against the Vietnamese. "When the Vietnamese attacked in 1979, the Khmer Rouge gave me a gun," Chorn-pond says. "They gave thousands of kids like me guns and told us to fight. [I was fighting] for the very people who killed my family." He re- calls yvhat seemed to be endless warfare. "There were bullets like rain. And I did not die. I don't know; maybe God or Buddha helped me." During that time, Chorn-pond watched many of his friends die at the hands of the Vietnamese. When he could no longer bear to see his com- rades die from exploding grenades and round after round of ammunition, Chorn-pond threw his gun away and escaped into the Cambodian jungle. He survived there, alone, for close to three months, "just like Tarzan." He knew he was not yet safe. "Sometimes I saw skeletons in the jungle," Chorn-pond recalls, "human skeletons, and I knew they didn't make it across." He credits the wild monkeys with helping him stay alive. "Maybe the monkeys thought I was one of them. I lived sort of like the monkeys; I watched them eat, and sometimes they gave me food." Eventually Chorn-pond made it through the jungle and found himself on the border of Thailand, to the south of Cambodia. "I had run south, but I did not know I was in Thailand," he says. A gaunt fifty pounds, Chorn-pond was placed in a refugee camp in Thai- land. He was so small that Peter Pond, a United Nations relief worker, did not see him lying on the ground and nearly stepped on him. Peter Pond was later to become Arn Chorn's foster father. "He picked me," says Arn Chorn-pond. "I don't know why." His new foster father brought Chorn-pond home to New Hampshire and enrolled him in the Northfield Mount Hermon School. He started in the ninth grade, after having been out of school for many years. "I did not even know my ABC's," he remembers. Although Chorn-pond found school extremely difficult and was very dis- couraged, his tenacity and his foster parent's support helped him make it through. "I had to work hard," Chorn-pond says. "My dad wanted me to grow fast, to be in school fast so I could go back and help my country. It was too fast for me. I couldn't function. I almost be- came crazy." Chorn-pond often found it difficult to study because of the flashbacks and nightmares he had about his ordeal. "I saw thousands of killings, every day," he says. "With an axe. It was like hell." The transition to life in America was difficult socially, too. "For a long time I could not be happy," he says. Sometimes I get jealous when I see [Brown students] very happy. I don't hate them; I don't get angry. I get jeal- ous because they live here and it's fun and they don't seem to be responsible for anything. But I love them," he adds quickly. "1 love them because they are nice people. They don't kill my family." It wouldn't be surprising if Chorn- pond tried to forget Cambodia, tried to put the killings and skeletons behind him. It wouldn't be surprising if he couldn't talk about what he saw and lived. Now that he is an American citi- zen, living comfortably in New Eng- land, he could try to erase the painful years of his life. But talking, sharing, and educating are the means by which Chorn-pond deals with his pain. "I have come here to fight back," he explains. "I love my country. I've lost most of my family already; I don't want to lose my country. I am Khmer [Cambodian] and I am proud of being Khmer." He has not always been so proud of his heritage. "When I first came to the United States," Chorn-pond says, "I did not want to be Cambodian." He credits his foster father with helping him overcome his aversion. "He said to me, 'You are Khmer,' " Chorn-pond recalls. Since then, Chorn-pond has seen other young Cambodian refugees in the U.S. who try to forget the war. He knows that those who do not talk about their suffering will be destroyed by it. "I have watched my Cambodian friends be- come insane," he says. "They did not talk, so they carried their pain with them." As part of his personal effort to alleviate his pain and educate Ameri- cans about the Cambodian genocide, Chorn-pond traveled with the Children of War Tour, a group of twenty-six young people from war-torn countries. Beginning on November 10, 1984, the youths visited fifty-four cities and told of the upheaval and war in countries such as Lebanon, Ireland, South Africa, Guatemala, and Cambodia. Chorn- pond found great solace in the shared suffering of the tour participants. "I learned I am not alone," he says. "I write speeches. I go up and speak. I cry. It gets me out of the pain." At Brown, Chorn-pond hopes to bring his story to his fellow students. "One thing I am proud of," he says, "is [that] I can talk. One by one, I can tell my story. Who is responsible for the killings in my country? That's why I am here, I think. Trying to find the truth." A.M. People President Swearer announced in No- vember that the College Admission Office and the Office of Financial Aid will be merged in the coming year to provide improved services for appli- cants and their parents. At the same time, the president announced the res- ignation of Director of Admission James H. Rogers '56, effective in June 1988. Rogers will supervise the merger until he leaves Brown to "seek new challenges. I have begun to feel that 1 may have gone through the grueling admission cycle too many times." Rog- ers said in explaining his departure. He has been director for the past seventeen years. Last summer, Director of Finan- cial Aid Alan P. Maynard '46 made public his intention to retire on June 30, 1987, after more than thirty years of working at Brown. Professor of Engineering Rodney J. Clifton received the William Prager Medal for 1986 from the Society of Engineering Science. The medal hon- ored his "outstanding research contri- butions in the mechanics of solids." He has pioneered research on wave prop- agation in elastic-plastic materials, and on the mechanical response of materi- als at high rates of deformation. At his fiftieth reunion last May, Fellow Emeritus Gordon Cadwgan '36 was honored with the announcement of a new endowed scholarship fund in his name. The fund was organized by for- mer Brown Vice President Richard Ramsden '59, who had worked closely with Cadwgan on a number of Brown fundraising projects. Cadwgan served as Chief Marshal for the 1986 Com- mencement. Trustee Artemis Joukowsky '55 and Trustee Emerita Martha Sharp Jou- kowsky '58 have established a challenge for donors to the Brown Library in conjunction with a f 750,000 National Endowment for the Humanities Chal- lenge. To each gift of $100,000, the Joukowskys will add $25,000; the Uni- versity, in turn, will allocate an addi- tional $25,000 from the NEH matching funds, bringing the total to $150,000. Each of these endowment funds of $150,000 will bear the name of the ini- tial donor; the names will appear on a special plaque in the Rockefeller Li- brary. The NEH grant was made to the Library's permanent endowment for the purchase of books and materials in the humanities. The Ernest S. Frerichs Library of Bib- lical and Judaic Studies has been estab- lished at Brown in honor of the pro- fessor of religious studies by his friends and colleagues. Frerichs '48 is director of Brown's Program in Judaic Studies and a past dean of the graduate school. His colleague Jacob S. Neusner. Uni- versity Professor and Ungerleider Dis- tinguished Scholar of Judaic studies, has given more than 1,200 items to the new library. Barge Cruise ■ Mon T ^ u ,^:, un *p° ,le ? o Canal du Midi.

Not enough big plays in football 1 1 Their 1985 and 1986 records are an .identical 5-4-1. I Ins year's third-place finish in the Ivy League (4-2-1) is lull a step better th. in last year's 1-3, and then five wins give them two winning seasons in a row. Why, then, do the achievements ol this year's football team seem a link- hollow? .And win is n that this year's 5-4-1 oilers less reason to ( heer than lasi yeai 's? Perhaps it's because last veai s team featured [amie 1'otkul. an excidng tail- bark who gained over 1,000 \aids in a single season lor the hi si lime in Brown history. Or maybe because ol the rug- ged defense, which (balked up lour shutouts against Ivy foes. Or that il was the first winning season since 1980. Or maybe because it promised more than another 5-4-1 finish in 1986. Alter the 27-3 loss to Colgate dropped the Bruins to 4-1. and effec- tivelv eliminated the chance of anything but a so-so year. Coach |ohn Rosenberg offered these thoughts: "On a day like this, witli rain hampering our passing game, you've got to get back to the running game. But you can't pull something out of a hat if it hasn't been there." Tile season gOI oil lo a rabbit-cjinc k start, M)t\ before the Penn game, with the Bruins sitting on a 3-0 let old. main thought that there might even be a hstlul ol Iw League Championship iings in that hat. The Homecoming crowd was treated to all the glutei ami ghl/ ol a brass band marching into town as Mark Donovan '88 passed for more opening-day yardage (2"><>) than any other quarterback in Brown histo- ry. Vgainsl Yale, he connected with Dave Fielding '87 for touchdowns ol 71 and Ml yards. On the day, Fielding caught five passes for 127 yards, and Donovan completed 18 of 27 passes. The following Saturdav, at I'RI's Meade Stadium in Kingston, the Do- novan-fielding combination flashed again, with Donovan connecting with Fielding for TD's of 63 and 28 yards, and once to Mark Daly '87 for 44 yards. Donovan was 9 for 18 for 182 yards, and a stout defense held the L'RI Rams to ten yards rushing. Against Princeton, Donovan and Fielding clicked for a 55-yard TD, and suddenly this was the Big Play Bruins. But after the heady 3-0 start, the Bruins ran into a brick wall called the I'enn Quakers. What had been billed as an early Ivy League-title showdown turned into little more than a rout. It was a deleat. which seems, in retro- spect, to have been the turning point ol the season. Unlike a magician, Rosen- beig was unable to pull either a c ham- pionship or a rebound from the sting- ing Penn deleat from his hat. The Brown defense couldn't stop the Penn running game, and the big-play combi- nation of Donovan to Fielding suddenly fell silent. Donovan completed only six passes, and none to Fielding. The Big Play slept through the game against the Big Red of Cornell the following Sat- urdav. But in all fairness. Brown was in the game, and marching, before Dono- van was intercepted, and Cornell put a 14-3 game out of reach. But now the Bruins were 2-2 in the Ivies, and it was already apparent that neither Penn nor Cornell, both undefeated, were going to slip. And it was also apparent, that while the Big Play slept, the running game did not awaken. The team had lived by the Big Play, and now the team was dying from a lack of it. The high point of the second half of the season was the victory over Har- vard in Cambridge, Sam Falcone's ['87] 140-yards rushing in the tie with Dart- mouth (the only 100-yard game by a Brown back all season), and the offen- sive fireworks against Columbia, which rekindled memories of the beginning of the season. Two linebackers, Brian Murphy '87 and Tyler Wolfram '88, led the defense. Both had been moved from other positions to linebackers and both, despite the shift and their relatively small size, performed admirably. Mur- phy led the team with 1 12 tackles and was second in interceptions with four. Wolfram, who had 69 tackles before he was injured in the Dartmouth game and forced to sit out the Columbia con- test, recovered a team-leading five fumbles. In evaluating a season that could have had one or two more wins and, quite easily, one less tie, Rosenberg was philosophical: "If we'd made the field goal [attempt late in the game] against Dartmouth, we would have had one more win, but does that mean we're a better football team?" The subject of wins is an interesting one — and a moot one as well — as the disappointment over this year's 5-4-1 attests. After the 1985 season, Rosenberg was quoted as saying, "Fine statistical accomplish- ments don't necessarily include the one that counts — wins — and, for the sake of the seniors who are so outstanding a group, I would have liked to have seen more of those." This year, the coach said, "You'd always like to have more wins, but on the other hand, I don't know whether this team did as well as it could have or not. Did we overachieve early or underachieve in the middle?" Perhaps the season was not a mat- ter of over- or underachievement at all, or of one more victory. The outcome of the season was a matter of style — a little too much flash, and not enough sub- stance: the inability of the offense to sustain drives on the ground, and of the defense to slop I hem. Women's soccer won the Ivy League Championship for the fourth consecutive year — their sixth in the last seven — by virtue of a scoreless overtime tie with Harvard. But impressive as that is, the Bruins were again thwarted in the opening round of the NCAA Championships. For the second time in 'three years, Connecticut knocked them out ol the competition. Theresa Hirschauer '89 led the team in scoring with 34 points on 14 goals and six assists. Karin Alderton '90 was second to Hirschauer on the team and in the league with eight goals and three assists for 19 points. Those two, along with goalie Kathy Kostic '87, were Ivy Players of the Week. Kostic finished her career one shutout shy of the Brown record of 34. While the women hooters contin- ued their winning ways, men's soccer ended the season with a 1-0 loss to Dartmouth and finished the season with only one Ivy League win. Todd Hellmann '90 was the team's leading scorer with three goals and three assists for nine points. He was followed by Joe Maloney '89 with eight points and Cianpiero Ambrosi '88 with seven. It would have been a repeat of last year for Ed Reed and men's water polo except for Navy. The Bruins lost to Navy twice during the regular season, and then in the finals of the Eastern Championships, 5-2. The team headed into the NCAA Championships ranked tenth in the nation, behind eight Cali- fornia teams and ninth-ranked Navy, and finished seventh, beating Air Force but losing to Berkeley and Navy. Two disappointing season-ending losses marred an otherwise outstanding year for women's field hockey. Fifth- ranked Connecticut dropped the Bruins, 4-0, and Ivy rival Harvard won, 2-1. On the positive side, the team turned around last year's 4-8-2 slate: this year's numbers were 8-4-2. Lauren Becker '87 led the scoring with nine points. She scored 21 goals and had 1 I assists for a career total of 32 points. Kelly McCarry '87 also wound up her field hockey career, finishing the season with nine points (six goals and three assists) and 23 career points on 16 goals and seven assists. Volleyball's season ended abruptly with a fourth-place finish in the Ivy tourney. The team entered the compe- tition seeded second behind Penn, the eventual winner, but alter beating Co- lumbia and Yale, lost to Cornell. Ginny Tom '88 and Meg Andrews '87 were named to the first All-Tournament team. Women's cross country ended the season finishing fifteenth of forty teams at the F.CAC Championships at Lehigh University. Of the ten teams competing from the New England region, the Bruins placed fifth. Candy Wilson '90 finished first for Brown, and was twen- ty-sixth overall. Men's cross country lost its final dual meet of the season to highly- ranked Dartmouth. Chris Schille '88 and Greg Whiteley '89 crossed the finish line together to claim second and third place, twelve seconds behind Dartmouth's Bob Kempainen who set a course record. Schille, Brown's top runner, won the Ivy League Champi- onship at the Heps held at Van Cort- landt Park. He broke the course record and set an Ivy League record (24: 1 1 ) over the five-mile course. He was sec- ond overall and the team placed second to Dartmouth and fourth overall. Schille and Whiteley finished first and third respectively among District I runners at the IC4A's, and qualified for the NCAA Championships. Out of 400 runners, Schille placed fourth and Whiteley twelfth. The team, however, fared only reasonably well, finishing twelfth of sixty-three teams, a mild dis- appointment for Coach Bob Rothen- berg. despite the fact that it was the team's best finish at the IC4A's in twenty years. At the NCAA's, Schille finished seventeenth and gained All-America honors, the first since Robert Lowe '61 in 1960. Women's tennis tied for twelfth at the ECAC Championships. Stephanie Hiedemann '90 was the only Brown player to win her match. She completed the fall season with a 7-3 singles record at the number-four position. High hopes for winter teams Men's hockey began the season with a victory over Holy Cross in an exhibition game on November 8, breaking, at least unofficially, the fifteen-game losing streak of last year. They split the next two games, losing to Harvard and then beating Dartmouth in a dramatic, come-from-behind overtime game. The following weekend they lost to RPI and Vermont. Eighteen letterman have returned, including captain Steve Climo '87 and alternate captains Mike and Mark Re- chan. both '87. Coach Herb Hammond will be relying on his six returning de- fensemen to take some of the pressure off unreliable goaltending and incon- sistent scoring. According to Ham- mond, the 1986 Bruins won't be flashy, but they will get the job done, and he is anticipating a playoff berth. "The one positive thing out of last year was thai the kids came back in good shape, very determined and very enthusiastic." Hammond said. "And that's something that can do a lot for you." Women's ice hockey. Ivv champi- ons for the last two seasons, has gradu- ated seven players, including all-time storing leaders Mardie Corcoran and SPORTS 16 Lisa Bishop, and goalie Mara Spaulder. Kim Les '88 is the only proven offen- sive power returning, but Coach Steve Shea is counting on captain Py Driscoll '88, Debbie Allen '89, and Carol Irving '89. Pam Noria '90, record-setting scor- er at Choate Rosemary Hall, is also expected to add scoring punch. In con- trast to the wide-open style of plav characterized by the Corcoran-Bishop years, the 1986-87 Pandas will rely on tight checking and defense. Coach Mike Cingiser asks, "What do we do for an encore?" What indeed. And for men's basketball. Cingiser modestly asserts, expectation has taken a backseat to enthusiasm. And win not? After all, that sounds like the attitude of last year's team that won it all. "Overall, we have a solid backcourt," he says. "And I feel very good about our swing position. But we have to replace a lot of points." Jim Turner, Mike Wait- kus, and Darren Brady accounted lor an average of 37 points a game last season, and contributed hall ol the as- sists and rebounds. But Dave Visa hei '87, Todd Murray '87, as well as Pat ii( k Lynch '87 are back, and Anthony Kal- saros '88, who has the unenviable task of filling Turner's empty sneakers. The recruited class is one ol the best. Cing- iser savs, but, he adds, "it's going to be tough to beat what the first (lass ac- complished." Women's basketball Coach Mau- reen F.nos said goodbye to Christa Champion and Michelle Smith, but welcomes back co-captain Kern Kclley '87 and Carol Kozai '87, as well as a strong freshman class. The wrestling team is coining oil its best season ever and Coach Dave Amato has the entire squad returning. Last year's team had a couple of soft spots, particularly in the heavyweight classes, and Amato has recruited to add power there. In the first two meets of the season, the Bruins came away un- scathed, registering wins over Boston College, Maine, and Albany State; and Delaware Valley, NYU, and Spring- field. Women's gymnastics is looking forward to better overall performance, but Coach Jackie Court has been hurt by the absence of "the backbone of the team." Amy Montgomery, Barbara Connolly, and Amy Berfield are all spending their junior year studying abroad. Court will have to look to Lau- ra Sherry '88 and Karen d'Entremont '89, last vear's most valuable gymnast, to pull the team through. Women's squash returns four starters and introduces three freshman recruits, including Karina DeBrabant '90, currently ranked fifth nationally in the under- 18 division. That group should push the squad up in the college ratings. The team will be led by Sue Cutler '88, who yvas ranked ninth na- tionally in college squash last year. Both women's and men's indoor track and field are looking to strong and maturing sophomores as the keys to a successful season. On the men's side, the strength of the program shifts away from the field events with the graduation of Gerry Donini, Mike DeVaughn, and Paul Bogdanovich. and focuses on middle distance runners ( hi is Schille '88 and Greg Whiteley '89, and sprinter and hurdler Mark Thompson '89.

A good group ol incoming freshman will help case- the coaching transition and the loss of four key seniors. Men's swimming graduated only three seniors last year, and Coach Ed Reed is looking at one of the more solid teams he's had in recent years. In div- ing, Charlie Chester '88, the leading scorer last year, is back. Fifteen join Hall of Fame At its annual dinner on Friday, No- vember 14, the Brown Athletic Hall of Fame inducted fifteen athletes who dis- tinguished themselves in college com- petition. Those honored yvere: Baseball: Richard Hand '77, a catcher who was first-team All-EIBL and All-Ivy. He had a .320 batting av- erage (.333 in the Eastern League) and made a team-high 120 put-outs during his senior year. Basketball: Peter Moss '80, a for- ward who is Brown's sixth all-time leading scorer yvith 1,241 points, and who holds high marks in many other career and single-game scoring catego- ries. He yvas Ivy League Player of the Year as a senior, as yvell as first-team All-Ivy and All-Neyv England. Crew: Albin Moser '67, three-year Ietterwinner on the varsity boat, yvhich placed second and third in the Eastern Sprints during that time and went to the Henlev Regatta. A former fresh- man rowing coach at Broyvn, Moser is director of rowing at the Narragansett Boat Club in Providence. Football: Michael Prairie '77, a center who was first-team All-ECAC and All-Neyv England his senior year and a member of Brown's Ivy-champi- onship team in 1976. As a senior, he was named to the ECAC Honor Roll three times. Kevin Rooney '78, a defensive lineman who yvas All-East, All-New England, and All-Ivy as a senior, when he made 60 tackles (37 unassisted). The Blown defense that year was ranked sixth in total defense and second in pass defense nationally. John Sinnott '80, an offensive tackle who was first team All-Ivy in his junior and senior years. Sinnott was signed to a professional football con- n. K i by the Neyv York Giants and played for them from 1980-83 until an injury ended his pro career. John Woodring '8 1 . termed by former Coach John Anderson "the best linebacker in Brown history." He was an honorable mention All-American his junior and senior years, and during his senior year he was Brown's leading tackier with 135 total (97 unassisted). He was drafted by the New York Jets in the sixth round in 1981. Ice Hockey: Michael Mastrullo '79, a defenseman who was a second-team All-American his senior year, as well as first team All-Ivy and All-East. Mas- trullo played for a year in the Atlanta Flames' farm system following gradua- tion. He currently plays hockey in Italy and participated in the 1984 Olympics on the Italian team. Lacrosse: Mark Farnham '80, a de- fenseman who was a second-team All- American in his junior and senior years, as yvell as first team All-Ivy and All-Neyv England. In 1979, he was Ivy League Player of the Year, and in 1980, most valuable player at the North- South All-Star game.

It's somewhat less than the Wall Street journal, but I would say probably up to 50 percent of the sports section is numbers. The world of medi- cine is mathematical. There is a ten- dency there to reduce people to a series of numbers — their blood pressure or whatnot. We know people are more than that. And this causes a problem. Numbers are not objective. We tend to think of mathematics as objective, but it's not. And that's where the philoso- phy comes in." The mathematizations Davis rat- tled off occurred to him, he says, in less than five minutes. "Imagine how many more there are. I am trying to make people aware of what some of these things are, and make them aware of the increasing tempo of math. My book poses the question of how much of it is good for us, and invites readers to de- velop an enhanced awareness of this. I don't want people to think: math is just there. Addition is just there. How can it be bad? It's just like gravity. Well, mathematics is not just there. We put it there as we find it useful. No one has a gun at our backs forcing us to mathe- matize the world. We do it as we find uses for it, and then sometimes prob- lems are created." Problems, indeed. Mathematics is the science of abstraction, the authors of Descartes' Dream say, and, "The spirit of abstraction and the spirit of compas- sion are often antithetical. Whereas World War 1 was a chemists' war and World War II was a physicists' war, World War III will be a mathemati- cians' war." This is the second book on which Davis and Hersh, a professor at the University of New Mexico, have collaborat- ed. The first, The Mathematical Experi- ence, was concerned with the nature of mathematics, its methodology, what it's like to be a mathematician. The book, according to Davis, is a "smorgasbord" of facts and fancy, history and philoso- phy, theorems and formulae — "a total immersion in mathematics." The au- thors looked at some of the less scien- tific aspects of mathematics: number mysticism, astrology, the use of geome- tric figures as talismans. Basically. The Mathematical Experience was an effort on the parts of Davis and Hersh to hu- manize a profession that we outsiders consider fairly monstrous. Davis told the Providence Journal that the book evolved out of a dissatisfaction with books that are "needless and futile at- tempts to establish mathematical knowledge as infallible." One thing about mathematics that always frightened me was its sheer size. I viewed it as a huge, monolithic struc- ture that I would have to conquer step- by-step. I couldn't just dive into it at any point and expect comprehension. As Davis and Hersh point out in The Mathematical Experience, the amount of mathematical knowledge has grown exponentially since its beginning, mak- ing math a far less manageable subject for human comprehension. A little more than a century ago. the authors explain, math could be divided into twelve distinct categories, including algebra, two kinds of geometry, and calculus. Today there are more than sixty such categories, including subjects such as nonassociative rings and alge- bras, abstract harmonic analysis, and quantum mechanics. Early in this cen- tury, they write, it was believed that any dedicated student was capable of know- ing the whole of mathematics. Today it is estimated that mathematicians pub- "Be a ballet dancer. Maybe we have enough mathematicians in our society." lish approximately 200,000 theorems a year in the more than 1,600 technical journals to which they subscribe. Two hundred thousand theorems a year. That's a figure a seasoned mathematician would balk at, much less a math-phobe. Phil Davis says that the newly-published Descartes' Dream is the more approachable book of the two. In the preface, the authors offer this com- forting advice: "Readers are encour- aged to browse at random [through the essays in the book] and read whatever catches their fancy." Imagine. Browsing through math- ematics. I'm a born browser, so I gin- gerly tiptoed through the book. The writing stvle immediately soothed me — it's lucid, calm, engaging, and often humorous. This is a book about mathe- matics I could read — and it kept asking us to think about how much math is really good for us — a question I had asked for years, without considering the deep philosophical implications. The essays range across such topics as computer graphics as high art and the interplay of mathematics with our sense of time. Ethical relativism and non-Eu- clidean geometry are encountered, as is a chapter on "The Whorfian Hypothe- sis: Ends and Means in Computer Lan- guages." I leaped through those. I spent some time in the chapter on "The Computerization of Love," in which Davis and Hersh muse on the mathe- matization of dating. "[ Tjhere are hordes of mateless persons ('singles'), under a strong social or psychological imperative to mate, whether for the night or for a longer period, and with no traditional social vehicle by which they might be mated," Davis and Hersh write. "In such a situ- ation, in a profit-driven, rapidly inno- vating society like the U.S., it could be foreseen that businesses would spring up attempting to fill this social need. The three most conspicuous types which have appeared are the singles bar, the personals column, and com- puter dating. To investigate the singles bar would require late evening field- work in a somewhat unscholarly envi- ronment, so we will limit our consider- ations to computer dating and the per- sonals column." And they do, showing how people with human needs are re- duced to the lowest common denomi- nator — numbers. They reach the con- clusion that in the personal columns and computerized dating, "mating be- comes an impersonal, mechanistic pro- cedure ... That is not to say that love or sex in our society at large is in immedi- ate danger of being mathematized or computerized. We only say that in a certain, non-negligible segment of our society this has already happened to some degree. By no means do we imply that computer dating or the personals column are objectionable. On the con- trary, thev may help and are unlikely to do harm. Nevertheless, they do stand as sign posts of the changes that are taking place in our society, and as indications of the way even our most intimate needs may be digitized, quantified, mathematized." People take mathematics for granted. It has become some- thing of Phil Davis's new an- them that we stop doing that and examine the deeper issues. "Mavbe a parallel example will help explain what I mean. Generally speaking, we don't teach biology in ele- mentary school, we don't teach chemis- try, anatomy, physiology. But at the same time, a certain amount of hygiene is taught — how to live right, how to brush your teeth, the effects of drugs, some sex education. But elementary- age students are not being taught the biology at the level of the molecules. You have to wait until college to learn about that. I'd like to see us get to a place where we could ignore some of the mathematical nuts and bolts so that we can start talking about a kind of mathematical hygiene. What things are good for us? What are not so good? How do they affect us?" Mathematics is something that is 'I think fear of math is handed down like a virus by school teachers who are mortally afraid of it' 22 part of our physical selves. We have ten fingers, we have ten toes — that's real, that's finite and comprehensible. How is it that something we rely on and "count on" can be something that we fear at a basic level? "People don't examine math," Davis says, "simply because they do fear it. And it's going to be tough to over- come that fear. What has to happen" — for us to get to the level of mathe- matical hvgiene — "is that over the next twenty-five years, as it becomes less necessary to teach the manipulative math stuff, schools could concentrate on what we're doing with it, and how it affects us." Davis believes we should be talking about math and the way it affects us on man) levels. "An interesting example is Daylight Savings I inie. All of a sudden, i w K ( a veai . von do something with the (lock, with the numbers, and it affects us a certain wav \<>u let's discuss this. Let's not say that this is God-given, or something Washington has loisted on us. Daylight Savings 1 ime imposes a realit) — you add an hour, subtract an hour, and. nn God, ii changes traffic patterns with respect to the light and d.iik. and the way people feel." Most ol the discussions about math education locus on uh.it math should be taught ai what age- level. "The focus is on the materials, the mannci in which the teaching should lake place. Do we use computers, overhead pro- jectors, this kind ol gimmick, thai kind. 1 think, to a considerable extent, the purely manipulative aspects ol math, tlit- how-to, can be downplayed or phased out. Because a great fraction ol the manipulation can be clone auto- matical!) ." The world is changing at an in- credibly quick pace, and the increasing mathematization has othet than educa- tional and psychological implications. " I he difficulty people have with math is, on average, a serious one. It affee is women particularly. My own feeling about the mathaphobia that women have is thai it is largely socially-condi- tioned. Certain subjects are still known as male subjects — for a girl to be doing them is to attribute something to them that is less than feminine, and I think girls find this hard at an early age. I see it even at the college level — most of the math concentrators at Brown are men; most of the physics concentrators are men. There is one woman professor in the applied mathematics department, one in the mathematics department. Personally, I think fear of math is handed down like a virus by elementary school teachers who are mortally afraid of it. They themselves have a fear of it, and it gets passed from teachers to stu- dents. I would guess that a fear of math sets in before a person is ten, and if that's the case, then there is hardly anything that will allay it in later years." If women are being socially-condi- tioned against mathematics at an early age, with little hope of overcoming their fears in later years, it's natural to wonder how the increasingly mathe- matized job market will be affected. Phil Davis's work as an applied mathematician has been in numerical analysis — the math- ematical bases of scientific computation, where real-life problems are reduced to numbers so a computer can tackle them. His career in mathe- matics began after graduating from Harvard (B.A., M.A., Ph.D.), when he went to work for the Bureau of Stan- dards. "1 was working on first- and sec- ond-generation computers," he says. "1 was part ol a team ol eminent mathe- maticians assembled to investigate the mathematical bases of scientific com- putation. We were doing two things simultaneously: performing scientific computation that was necessary for ollici scientists at the bureau, while pursuing the craft of numerical analy- ses I lasted twelve years." Ultimately, Davis says it was his love for writing that led him to an aca- demic! setting. "Writing in a university context is an allowed activity. Teaching gave me the opportunity to write, whereas an industrial/governmental job wouldn't have given that to me. "And I like teaching, The teacher if lei is the future. The future of the world is in the hands ol the teacher. And a good teacher is a bit of a ham. 1 he more you ham up a presentation, the better it is, up to a point. I have a ham component. One of the problems in teaching math, though, is keeping it fresh. I like to try to teach as many courses as I can in my department, and invent courses from time to lime. Right now I'm trying to develop a course on the nature of prediction. This would be a course for students in the humanities: examining prediction, what it's about, how do you do it, how was it done in the past? With what success? What are the limitations? I'd like to look at all kinds of prediction, from scientific to dreams and intuition. "And you keep your teaching fresh by reading, writing, doing standard courses in a slightly different way. and not worrying too much whether what you're teaching is going to connect up with the next course. And you keep it fresh by keeping your teaching close to your research, when you're teaching graduate students." How do mathematicians decide what line of research to pursue? "Some- times it happens out of necessity — you take a job, and that job requires that you do a certain kind of material. That happened to me during the war. I was in the Air Force reserve, working on aerodynamic theory and scientific com- putation, and that's what lasted for me professionally. Teachers are influen- tial, especially in graduate school. They make an impression on you, and you work in that field. But, eventually, you have to fly for yourself, and I can't re- ally explain how that happens." Davis's interest in philosophical issues sprang from a teacher he had in college. "I took several courses with him and talked to him from time to time, but for years I didn't see how I could pursue my interest in the philosophy of math. It was always in the back of my mind. A lot of these seeds are planted early, and blossom later. Sort of like the century plants that you find in the Southwest desert. They blossom every hundred years." In Davis's case, the blossoming was full-blown. His books have enjoyed extremely flattering reviews, and The Mathematical Experience has so far been translated into eight languages. "Writ- ing a book about mathematics is a gam- ble," he admits, but one that has paid off handsomely. Meaning can sometimes get lost in mathematics. This is Davis's main point. He and Hersh caution against blind faith in reason, logic, and mathematics. After all he's said about the necessity for people to think about the increasing mathematization in society, Davis says, "On the other hand, not everyone has to know numbers. There's no lack of professionals to think about these things. Similarly, not everyone has to know surgery. Be a ballet dancer. It's nice that there are some ballet dancers. There may be as many mathematicians as society can stand." In Descartes' Dream, he writes: "We should never forget that a stroll in the woods or a deep conversation with a new or old friend are beyond mathe- matics. And then, when we go back to our jobs, as administrators, teachers, or whatever, will we still remember that numbers are only the shadow, that life is the reality." Words a math phobe can live by. In The Grips of Numbers Crunchers The Post Office has recently added four digits to its zip numbers. They promise better service, but cannot guarantee it. To call England I must dial fifteen digits (but then I have the thrill of crossing the ocean my- self). Institutions installing tricky new phone systems are sending their secretaries to seminars to teach them how to call the office down the hall. For instant money, available twenty- four hours a day, I am encouraged to get a magic card and follow a simple program. I have no doubt that within a few short years, I will have to do some preliminary pro- gramming in order to use a public convenience. Putting a nickel in the slot will be listed among the Holy Simplicities of the Past. Are we drowning in digits? Is the end in sight? Yes, we are, and no, it is not. What underlies all the digits is that our civilization has been com- puterized. We are in the grips of the symbol processors and the number crunchers. The nature of this slavery is often misunderstood. It is not thralldom to an individual comput- er; rather it is the total computeriza- tion of the sources of information and communication. Every time a dentist fills a cavity a computer, somewhere, finds out about it and sends a bill. Unplug the computer network? No wav. Your son-in-law may have a good job programming the billing system. The dentist him- self owns IBM stock. Numbers and symbol process- ing; this is mathematics. "Study mathematics! It keeps your options open." Mathematics has joined mechanism and money. Some peo- ple think this combination is the monstrosity of the age. Others say: on the contrary, it is the road to sal- vation. In the New Jerusalem, peo- ple speak FORTRAN or BASIC. A computer game can be the new theophany. "I computer, therefore I am" is the new assertion of existence. We all see the benefits of com- puters: trips to the moon, pacemak- ers, intractable mathematical prob- lems solved in a jiffy. We do not yet see the price that will be paid for a state of super-digitalization. There is occurring today a mathematization of our intellectual and emotional lives. Mathematics is not only applied to the physical sci- ences where successes have been thrashed out over the centuries but also to economics, sociology, politics, language, law, medicine. These ap- plications are based on the ques- tionable assumption that problems in these areas can be solved by quantification and computation. There is hardly any limit to the kind of things to which we can attach numbers or to the kinds of opera- tions which are said to permit us to By Phil Davis interpret these numbers. We are awash in questionnaires, statistics. Standard deviations and correlation coefficients are spat out by comput- ers held in the hands of the uncriti- cal and used as hammers to pulver- ize us into compliance with the conclusions of the investigator. (Do you think of yourself as deprived? Yes: 17 percent. No: 48 percent. Don't understand what deprived means: 12 percent. Other: 23 per- cent.) The Criterion Makers tell us that society should move so that such-and-such a norm is optimized, and the) base policy on this, but no one can say why the criterion is itself appropriate. Excessive computerization would lead to a life of formal actions devoid of meaning, for the comput- er lives by precise languages, precise recipes, abstract and general pro- grams wherein the underlying sig- nificance of what is done becomes secondary. It fosters a spirit-sapping formalism. The computer is often de- scribed as a neutral but willing slave. The danger is not that the computer is a robot but that humans will be- come robotized as they adapt to its abstractions and rigidities. The problem in the coming years is that of establishing meaning in a sea of neutral symbols.

Absolutely not, says a vocal group of students who are conservative, and proud of it The first time another studenl called him a Nazi, Michael Mcenan '88 was staffing a College Republicans table in the post office lobby. "I knew immedi- ately she was ready lor an argument," he recalls. "She broughl up the invasion of Grenada, and we debated il for hall an hour. "Finally I had to say I was sorry, but I didn't have time to debate any more. She got angry and veiled. 'You're just a typical neo-Nazi.' And that hurt me; it offended me.

In this they are relatively unusual; conservatives them- selves concede that their organizations historically have been dominated by men. Alter founding the Spectator last year, and serving respectively as pub- lisher and editor, both women recendy handed the reins to their successors, Kevin Warmath '88 and Daniel Green- berg '88. They did so with a large measure of pride. "It was my dream." Polli says of her work with both College Republicans and the Spectator. "It was hard work — when you're conservative, you get all kinds of jokes. But I think we managed to earn a lot of respect. We're not knee-jerk reactionaries; we've tried to bring discussion to this campus. Last spring when we started the magazine, we wanted to be respectable. We took pains not to attack people or to be of- fensive." To some degree, those pains have paid off. I he Spectator has been gener- ally immune to harsh criticism, thanks to a i in umspei I treatment of national and campus issues, and a policy ol ex- cluding (lie kinds of ad hominem attacks that have soured the tone- of conserva- tive journals at othei campuses, such as Dartmouth. The Spectator's only ret em bit of ribbing was a cartoon on the Her- ald's opinion page by Eric l.owerv '87, who suggested thai tfie conservative publication might be used "to clean up those messy spills" and to wipe one's mouth with. An open page of the Spet tator, as imagined In I.owcry, displayed the mock headline, "Baseball, Mom. Apple Pie and Bombs!" jcntiv Polli look the potshots as a sign of the journal's i redibility " I hey don'l have anything on us," slie s,i\s " I hat's why the cartoon didn't deal Willi am issues. All they could do was make pejorative remarks about the \p< i tator's existent e. not its content." At an editorial meeting the next day. Spec- tator staffers spent no more than thirty seconds discussing the cartoon. Far from being in any way deterred from their mission, they seemed bound to strengthen it. I he reaction I've heard to out- November issue," savs new publisher Kevin Warmath, "is that it's more con- servative than the last one." ("That's good," interjects another student.) "We shouldn't back off being conservative," Warmath counsels. "The more conser- vative we are, the more people will want to read us." Polli agrees that while the Spectator tries for a balance, and will print arti- cles and letters representing any politi- cal view, it remains a publication with a specific agenda. "We are conservative," she says. "We're Brown's 'right alterna- tive' " — a reference to the magazine's slogan, printed under its logo on each cover. "We take pains not to attack people and not to be offensive, but we want to have an impact tin the discus- sion of issues at Brown." Jenny Polli, seated on a table in a Wilson classroom, conducts her last editorial meeting as publisher of the Spectator. A study of college freshmen's attitudes and beliefs spon- sored by the American Council on Education made headlines in late October. College stu- dents, it found, have shifted their po- litical views increasingly since 1970 from liberal to middle-of-the-road. The researchers announced that the pro- portion of liberals in the freshman group fell from 37 percent to 22 per- cent in that period, while the middle- group increased from 45 percent to 57 percent. Conservatives gained ground on campuses, too: their ranks swelled from 18 to 21 percent of the total. There seems to be no way to quan- tify definitively the extent of student conservatism at Brown. Impressions abound: A teaching assistant remarked early in November that she was amazed at the large number of students in her class who indicated in a discussion that they were voting a Republican ticket that week. "Everybody suspects there is more conservatism at Brown now," says Professor of Physics Philip J. Bray '48, "because a majority of the student body doesn't get involved in activism. But no one has a handle on that. My suspicion is that there is a 'silent majority' here — a large number of students who don't express themselves." |ohn Euler mentions a College Republicans poll of students taken in October, in which 33 percent of the respondents indicated they viewed themselves as conservative, 43 percent as liberal, and the remainder as middle- of-the-road or undecided. "Not all of those students come to our meetings," he said, adding that the club has a core group of some twenty dedicated mem- bers who attend meetings regularly. "But, still we know there's a large group out there." By nature, conservatives tend to be reactive, not proactive; the students concede that is also true at Brown. "Conservatives aren't protest-oriented," says Euler. "We're not rallying on the Green to force issues. We have a Re- publican president and, until this election, we've had a Republican Con- gress. The liberal groups are protesting the conservative national policy that we support." "1 don't think we become as emo- tional," agrees Michael Halloran '89. a member of the College Republicans. "We're for the status quo, not radical change. I think liberals simplify the is- sues too much and want things changed right away." The fact that liberal voices have tended to be the loudest and the most publicized has motivated a number of conservative students to become more visible. "I don't want other people speaking for me," says Meenan, ex- plaining his affiliation with the College Republicans. "Everyone has the right to free speech, but it got too disruptive here; groups were interfering witti the tights of others." Specifically, conserva- tives claim that liberal students mono- polize campus debates and other fo- rums for discussion, including the Hroien Daily Herald and Issues, a monthly magazine. They claim that when stu- dents with opposing views do speak up at public gatherings on campus, the political majority tries to shout them down or hisses at them. "Before I came to Brown, I thought 'liberal' meant tolerant," says Hal Meyer III '86. "Here, I've found that liberal is synonymous with totali- tarian." The democratic ethic — espe- cially the principle of free speech — is habitually trampled upon, he says, by those who disagree with his views. When Jenny Polli stepped down from the College Republicans chairmanship last year, she had a mail- ing list of about 200 interested or sun- pathetic students. She found that the Spectator brought even more into the fold. "We have a finite group of con- servatives on campus, and I thought I had pooled all of them in College Re- publicans," she says. "But when we advertised for Spectator staff, out of nowhere we got new people saying, 'Yes, I'm a conservative.' The Spectator staff is a whole new breed." 27 'The right to free speech isn't the right only to speech that others find pleasant' 28 Polli herself was a pioneer of the new conservative phenomenon early in her Brown career. She spent her fresh- man year engaged in friendly debates with her liberal roommate, then thought long and hard the following summer about what her values were. "I wrote it all down and thought, 'Wow! I'm a conservative,' " she says. She recalls that the College Repub- licans club was mostly a one-man show, the man being Brad Hen/ '85, who was state chairman of the organization. Polli participated in national election activi- ties at Brown in the fall of her sopho- more year, and at the end of that year, she was named Hertz's successor. The appointment got her an invitation to a national College Republicans confer- ence in Washington that summer, where Polli viewed with interest the conservative student newspapers pub- lished on other < ampuses. "There had been lots of political activit) ,il Blown that vear." she retails. "and talk about divestment. 1 fell peo- ple didn't reall) discuss the issues; the) didn't know what the) were protesting. And I thought, a newspaper would be a way to present other sides of these is- sues." Polli applied to the Institute lot Educational Affairs, an organization based in Washington that funds con- servative college journals. Obtaining the 1KA funds in her junior year, Polli recruited Karen Engel, a College Re- publicans member with some newspa- per experience, to edit the Spa tutor. "It took us a whole semester to get the first issue out," Engel recalls. Dated "Spring 1986," it appeared in student mailboxes near the end of the semester. The cover cartoon, by Spencer Creen '88, depict- ed Ronald Reagan smirking at the sight of Libyan leader Moammar Khaddafi trying to untangle himself from his own "Line of Death." Articles focused on the Philippines presidential election, the war in Afghanistan, Nicaragua, the nature of Communism in China, and SDI ("Star Wars"). "These were all national and inter- national issues." Polli says. "Afterwards we wondered, 'Does anyone really care what students think about these issues?' We decided to focus mostly on Brown concerns from then on." The October 1986 issue contained three rebuttals to the scathing New Republic article that compared Brown (unfavorably) to St. John's College (Maryland), and the No- vember cover stot \ was an expose "I at- tempts to establish a PIRG I Public Interest Research (.roup) at Brown, us- ing a student feecollei ted at the same time as tuition and other i Inn ges.

Pei haps predit tabl) . main ol Brown's conservatives blame liberal activists for what they term a tarnishing of Brown's image in the national press. "I don't want to see the media raking Brown over the coals." says Mike Meenan, just because some well-intentioned students get out of control. Sensationalism doesn't have a place here." As the new publisher of the Spectator, Warmath plans to inaugurate a monthlv feature on "someone who has achieved some- thing, who has done something that is not detrimental to the image of Brown." This image-consciousness among conservatives applies to their own press, too. "Before I leave," says Jenny Polli at the conclusion of an interview. "I'd like to stress one thing: Don't make fun of us. We've worked and worked to get something that's respected here." She indicates she has felt burned by the campus media in the past. While this story was being pre- pared, a number of students expressed concern about its handling. What would be the BAM's angle? Would the article treat them seriously? One stu- dent wanted to take no chances: he showed up for an interview with a typed sheet of prepared (by him) ques- tions and answers. "Any chance of reading youi stor) before it's pub- lished?'' queried a Spectator editor. (Answer: No.) After an editorial meet- ing ended abruptb when a group of l.ii uli\ arrived to use the same class- room, and several Spectatm staffers' tempers flared at the interruption, another student looked worried. "You aren't going to smear us, are you?" he asked the BAM reporter. Was he jok- ing? It was haid to tell. These may be the tender sensibili- ties of a distinct political minority, or the\ nun be a mild form of paranoia. Certainl) a few outspoken conservatives have come in for ridicule on campus, or li.ne been lambasted. In recent years, HDH columnists David Klinghoffer '87 and Hal Meyer III '86 have attracted a large measure of scorn for their con- servative essays: several years back, Chip Keating '84 and David Dornstein '84 occasionally provoked similar reac- tions with their newspaper columns. (Keating described his views as "mod- erate," but claimed that "because I go out of my way to challenge the liberal establishment at Brown, I come off looking very conservative.") Meyer, who is known campus-wide simply as "H", has spent the past se- mester — his final one at Brown — writ- ing solelv for the Spectator. He has got- ten catcalls for his articles claiming that Blown practices "reverse discrimina- tion" by providing special programs and facilities for minority students. When he spoke last year at a panel discussion on race relations at Brown, the mostly-student audience replied with a barelv audible, but collective. hiss. "There are a lot of free-speech abuses at Brown," Meyer asserts. "I've spoken out on many issues, and I real- ize the consequences of doing that. It's important for a lot of different people to speak out. The problem here is that people only want to allow one view." His detractors think Meyer is a perpetrator, not a victim, of intolerance at Brown. The label most often applied to him has been "racist," a particularly sensitive charge for conservatives, who claim very few minorities among their adherents. Meyer in turn pins the ra- cism charge on his critics, whom he accuses of having an anti-white bias. Others on campus, inured to Meyer's weekly opinion pieces in the BDH, dis- miss him entirely. "He is widely ridi- culed," says a faculty member. "People on the far right are not taken seriously here. Often their logic seems faulty — we have no Bill Buckleys writing at Brown." Dismissive laughter, however, does not obscure the genuine anger some conservative columnists and speakers elicit from other students. Ferdinand Jones, director of psychological servi- ces, says there are potential hazards in a certain brand of conservative polemic "If a person has an opinion on some- thing [such as the Third World Tran- sition Program] he knows nothing about, people are likely to perceive what he's saying as only his opinion," Jones explains. "And because it is only an opinion, not facts, they reason that the speaker is racist. Such points of view make minority students feel that they have enemies on campus; it makes them very nervous and causes them to be more insulated. I've visited another college where articles in the student newspaper caused minority students to feel under siege. "I think it's good to have political debate on campus," Jones adds. "But it's good only if the debate is based on facts, not altitudes." Dean of Student Life Eric Widmer, however, feels that despite what some on campus consider to be offensive rhetoric, conservative columnists stimulate valuable discus- sions. "We have bickering at the begin- ning of every year about the Third World Transition Program," he notes. "People are writing letters to the editor in the BDH, and that's a useful airing of concerns." Free speech is a particular con- cern of the new editor of the Spectator, Daniel Greenberg '88. Greenberg, whose father is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Controversial columnist H. Meyer feels students are intolerant of differing views. and editor of the editorial page for the Pine Bluff (Arkansas) Commercial, ar- rives for an interview with a copy of the November 10, 1986, Brown Daily Herald in hand. He is eager to point out sever- al passages that he feels are examples of "dangerous assumptions" that mas- querade as facts at Brown. With a pen- cil, he encloses the offending sections in brackets. One of them is a quote from an article about the image of Brown's fra- ternities. The BDH reports the experi- ence of a member of the Women's Po- litical Task Force who presented a workshop for fraternity members on sexual harassment last spring. "We had a lot of trouble," she tells the Herald, "getting across that the fact is that if someone feels thev have been harassed, then they have been harassed." Greenberg isn't buying it. He points to the words, "the fact is ...", in the article. "This seems to be a direct as- sault on free speech," he says. "The basis for harassment can't be someone's feeling that she has been harassed, any more than the fact of a theft can be based on someone's feeling that he has been stolen from. You can't legislate what people say. The right to free speech isn't the right only to free speech that others find pleasant." Greenberg is equally put off by a quote in a second article in which the student coordinator of a racism out- reach program has this to say: "Racism equals prejudice plus power, so only white people can be racist. Therefore, racism is a white problem." Such state- ments, Greenberg complains, are ac- cepted as orthodoxy at Brown. "There's a lot of emphasis on racism here, but there's no emphasis on prejudice," he says. "Why is it so important to insist that white people are racist and black people aren't? And these people are going around to freshman units and telling them this." A prickliness about "preferential programs" and accusations of white racism is a characteristic of some, but not all, conservatives at Brown. It is impossible to generalize about students who participate in conservative activi- ties; their politics are anything but monolithic. Thev do share a few basic beliefs: in individual freedoms, free enterprise, the need for a strong de- fense, and Republican policies. "Chances are we'll all be for the contras in Nicaragua," Polli says, "and against divestment." Beyond that, generalizations falter. Some conservatives frown upon the exclusive nature of Brown's Third World Transition Program for incom- ing minority freshman; others are in favor of it. "I think it's good," says Mike Meenan, who describes his own back- ground as solidly blue-collar, inner-city Catholic. "For a lot of minorities, this campus is very intimidating. You're being plunged into one of the most vis- ible examples of a white-dominated society." Another division occurs between conservatives with a fundamentalist religious bent, and those who adhere to set ular values. Most of those who are active in College Republicans and the Spectator are pro-choice, but there are enough pro-life students to have mounted a campaign in favor of the anti-abortion "Proposition 14" on Rhode Island's ballot this November. "Religious issues are separate," notes Karen Engel. This is the major distinction between existing conserva- tive groups and a newer organization. Students for America. Led by Stephen Burke '89, several students have pro- posed that a local chapter of this na- tional group be recognized ofhcialh In Brown's student government. "We're not a Republican organization," Burke emphasizes, "although we share many of the party's principles. But we are also in favor of Judeo-Christian morals, and we are pro-life." In addition to religious issues, some conservatives are split on the specific national defense issue of SDI, or Star Wars. "Some people see it as a bargaining chip (in arms-control talks)," 29 'Some people can't leave politics alone. To them I'm always The Conservative' explains John Euler; "some want to see it researched, but not deployed; and others want it to be fully deployed. In general, though, most of us think that giving more money to the military is a positive thing. "Another issue that unites conser- vatives," Euler says, "is the question ol whether the government owes its poor citizens money or a job. In the utmost spirit ol democracy, conservatives be- lieve that everyone should have a chance to make a living. Instead ol handing out money, conservatives s.i\ . let's develop social programs in which people can help themselves. We need n> cut out abuses in the welfare system." The reasons why a student i booses to remain or become conservative .11 .1 liberal bastion like Brown are highly individual. Some arrive at Brown with .1 set of political values imparted l>\ then parents; others hud that their opinions are crystallized by campus events. Euler believes an uppcr-micldle-class back- ground is the most reliable predicloi ol a conservative political philosophy: "People who are making a certain amount ol money have worked hard loi it," he savs. " I hev nam in keep .is much as the) cm without hurting the counti v ." Victoria Ball, who is director ol career planning services at Blown, has observed a move toward conservative values among students in response to a waning sense of security. Uncertain job markets since 1972, inflation, reces- sions, the threat ol nuclear war, and recendy the advent of AIDS all have contributed to a state ol anxietv that has pulled students away from liberal idealism and towards a more cautious political outlook. "This isn't selfishness for its own sake," Ball adds. "It's ner- vousness because of what students have been seeing in the last ten years." Some students deemphasize eco- nomic issues and stress personal beliefs. "I'm conservative because I'm a con- servative person." Kevin Warmath explains, a bit circularly. "I have a strong belief in the fundamentals of democracy, basic freedoms, individual- ity, and conservative economics." Mike Meenan attributes his politics to .1 Rousseauian optimism: "I think people- are intrinsically good, and I think we can work out solutions to all our dire problems. Too often we hear thai the world is headed to hell in a handbasket. I think we have control over our desti- nies, and the future holds a range ol great things tor us." Like a number ol their conserva- tive peers, both Warmath and Meenan have absorbed some ol Brown's liberal atmosphere. "I'm a little more liberal, sociallv," Warmath savs, "and that's a product ol going to school lieu" Karen F.ngel savs most ol hei liicncls are lib- el al. and that has opened her eyes to othei w.ivsol thinking. In particular, Meenan feels he- has < hanged his views on women's issues ,is a result i>l .iwi ia dons .11 blown I wciii to an all-boys' high school, and I wasn't aware of women's issues." he savs. "I hiough piotests bv women, and through talks with friends, I've realized the discrimi- nation women have- suffered. "I've always enjoyed the liicncls I've made bete on a nonpartisan basis. Meenan continues. "Sometimes I (eel thai people can't leave my politics alone, th.it I'm always 'Mike Meenan the Conservative.' But when they're giving me their opposing views, I just sav to myself, This is pan ol the Slfi.OOO [expense of attending Brown], Mike.' People are saving something from their hearts, and I want to take advantage of that. There ate things out there we need to be exposed to." Hers is such a take-charge personality — directive, quick, frank — it is difficult to imagine Brown's thriving conservative movement without jenny Polli at the helm. Friends and ideologi- cal foes alike credit her with fostering a modicum of cordiality between conser- vative and liberal groups on campus; she has met regularly with the chair- man of the College Democrats, and she is working to develop a program on women and politics in conjunction with the Sarah Doyle Women's Outer. Pol- li's favorite "baby" is the Spectator, of which she says hopefully, "I have a sense it will continue." Mike Meenan. as chairman of the College Republicans, and Kevin War- math and Dan Greenberg, in charge of the Spectator, have Polli's — and Karen Engel's — legacy of conservative leader- ship to uphold. Euler, still a freshman ami not an officer vet in either organi- zation, seems to be an up-and-comer, with cle.11 ideas and a knack for stating them. Plans for forums, speeches, and, as always, presenting "the other side" when liberal activists .ire in the spot- light, aie all on the College Republi- < .ins' agenda. 1 he Spei tutor's leadership will try, foremost, to follow through on Polli's dictum. "What I want to instill." she savs al an editorial meeting just before I hanksgiving, when the board has vot- ed not to publish again until alter Christmas, "is that we o> e a monthly." A legulai publishing schedule will pro- vide conservatives with a reliable forum lor the Staffs main ideas. These in- clude an examination of the Iran arms- sales scandal, a look at the funding of Brown student organizations, scrutiny ol admission-office policies, and a push to bring back ROTC. These young conservatives are still, to some extent, deciding exactly what their presence on campus should mean. At the Spectator meeting, H. Meyer suggests. "Why don't we do a manifesto lor 1 he Spectator?" "That's interesting," replies Polli. We've never sat down and done a statement of policy. We've been wishy- washy about this." Dan Creenberg re- commends that all staff members write out their own ideas and submit them to him. "Good idea," says Polli. There is a brief pause, and another staff member ventures a question. "Could we rename that?" he says. The others look puzzled. "I mean — some- thing other than 'manifesto'!" Now everyone laughs. This is an in-joke that conservatives at Brown can appreciate. Support for the Contras and ROTC Excerpts from Browns conservative journal Be a Liberal Some reasons to be a liberal at Brown: □ Everyone else is. □ You lack a clear understand- ing of issues. □ Liberals bave better rallies. □ You'll probably end up being a conservative after a few years in the real world, so you might as well live it up while you can. □ You want something to talk about with your professors. □ "Hey, if I were conservative, I'd be going to Dartmouth." — Michael Halloran '89 Support the Contras ...(N)o one can deny ... that the Ni- caraguan people are currently being suppressed by a Marxist-Leninist dictatorship. ...(T)he ultimate goal of the U.S. should be the overthrow of the Nicaraguan Communist regime. ...Inherent in Marxism-Lenin- ism are the lack of basic freedoms and the control of one's thoughts, things which Americans are not subjected to. ... (T)he domino theory is a reality. (S)hortly after Vietnam went Communist, so did Laos and Cambodia, and while all these Com- munist takeovers may have been nationalist in origin, we must not be so foolish as to think that a country's switch to Communism does not have an influence on its neighboring countries. ...It is in the United States' best interest to protect other nations from Communism. Ultimately, our freedom is not worth anything if we cannot pursue our interests else- where in the world freely and with- out fear of repression. — Frederick C. Mock '87 Common Thread See if you can guess what (the com- mon thread) is as you read through this list of recent years' protests [at Brown]: Protest against the Ameri- can invasion of Grenada, protest against American support for the government of El Salvador, protest against the CIA, protest against the American arms buildup, protest against American investments in South Africa, protest against SDI, protest against American aid to the contras, etc. If you guessed that the common thread was that the object of all the protests was the United States, and that all the protests coin- cide with the Soviet position on the issue involved, you were right. You'd think that 100-percent agreement with the Soviet Union — a nation where the right to protest is just one of many civil liberties de- nied its citizens — would make these protestors give their positions a sec- ond thought. ... We've got to wonder whether the protesting clique is motivated less by a desire for peace and justice than ... by a distaste for the United States. — Daniel Creenberg '88 Benefits of ROTC (Besides a narrowing of financial-aid opportunities), Brown's decision to ban ROTC from campus causes other problems for students. By banning ROTC, Brown fosters an uneducated and biased view of the military. (In addition), the army of- fers a unique experience for per- sonal growth. "You make wonderful friendships, gain practical leadership training, take on lots of responsibili- ties, and learn to work as a team," said [Katie] Sheldon ['88, who par- ticipates in a special ROTC program at Providence College]. ...Perhaps this campus can open its eyes and instead of depending on innovative and creative students to seek out ROTC [at Providence Col- lege], we can enthusiastically and proudly offer it to our students.

Yet it can't seem to find room for a real student center, something most colleges and universities have. Why are these racially-exclusive and gender-exclu- sive clubs given priority over a stu- dent center where all Brown stu- dents could feel at home? ...We could solve this problem by opening a White Male Center. Then everyone would have some center to go to, although the courts would probably quickly rule that a White Male Center is discriminatory and thus illegal... — Dan Greenberg 31 An Architect of The Tarty with A Heart' Kirk O'Donnell '68 spiffed up Tip O'Neill's image. Now he's running a think tank By Louis M. Peck 73 Photographs by Jean Gwaltney B\ most accounts— including his own — 1981 was the worst of times for Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr., the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. He was caricatured by congressional Re- publicans and pummelled by the White House, as the Reagan Administration's budget-cut and tax-cut programs cleared the House by wide margins. Even some of "Tip" O'Neill's fellow Democrats began suggesting that it was time for the portly, cigar-chomping Boston pol to retire. Well, come the end of this month, O'Neill is preparing to do just that. But he exits under very different circum- stances than he faced five years ago. Recent opinion polls show the Speaker with a voter approval rating of over 60 percent— not far below that of Ronald Reagan, the man whom O'Neill once grudgingly called "the most popular President in the history of the country." More than a few Capitol Hill insiders say this dramatic reversal in O'Neill's standing among the American public can be traced to a memorandum writ- ten the day the Reagan tax bill passed the House in August 1981. The author: the Speaker's general counsel, L. Kirk O'Donnell '68. The O'Donnell memo suggested that the Democrats "depersonalize" the forthcoming elections, so as to make them a referendum on Reagan's poli- cies rather than on the popular Presi- dent himself. And, citing a Senate Re- publican proposal to cut $40 billion from so-called "entitlement" programs, the memo proposed that the Democrats position themselves as ardent defenders of the politically sacred Social Security program. O'Donnell's strategy worked: The Democrats gained twenty-six House seats in 1982, and O'Neill regained a working majority in the House. The Speaker's political stature has been on the upswing ever since. "There's no question about Kirk being one of the leading architects of that — and probably the leading archi- tect," says Thomas King, the political director of the Democratic Congres- sional Campaign Committee. "It was all very deliberate," ac- knowledges O'Donnell, his voice filled with the intensity of someone with a reputation for long work weeks and scrupulous attention to detail. At the same time, O'Donnell — in the best tra- dition of the loyal Washington staff member — insists that it's the boss who deserves the bulk of the credit. "The Speaker was willing to take his lumps in 1981 — but not willing to give up on his principles," O'Donnell says. "So, by 1982, the Democrats were on the comeback trail. To this day, party realignment has not occurred, and I happen to be one of the people who think it could have occurred. The Speaker showed great strength and great personal integrity, and I think when people look back they will look at that period as one of his personally finest hours." With O'Neill — the embodi- ment of the Democratic Party's New Deal past — about to leave the na- tional stage, Kirk O'Donnell has turned his attention to the Democratic Party's future. After spending eight years shepherding the Speaker's political fortunes, O'Donnell recently assumed the presidency of the Center for Na- tional Policy — one of the capital's newer "think tanks." (The Center's board sports such Democratic Party heavy- weights as Edmund Muskie, Robert Strauss, Lloyd Cutler, and Harry McPherson.) Bespectacled and balding, O'Don- nell has the owlish look of a college professor on loan for the semester. Behind that exterior is what many con- sider one of the sharpest young political minds in Washington. "Kirk is so highly regarded in this town that he's given the Center a real charge," says Richard Moe, a Center board member who was once Walter Mondale's chief of staff. "... We needed to move on to a new level of activity not only in terms of getting more visibility, but in terms of doing different kinds of studies. Kirk's done that." In doing so, O'Donnell these days often sounds more like Gary Hart than Tip O'Neill. "The Democrats seem to be suffering from a deficit in the area of new ideas, and 1 believe a progres- sive agenda will not come to the fore- front again until liberals and progres- sives develop some new approaches," says O'Donnell. "It's viewed often as the party of fumbling hands, and it's on that question of performance that the Democrats will have to develop a new image." At forty, O'Donnell is more than a generation removed from O'Neill, and he doesn't share his former boss's confidence in the abilities of govern- ment. "Coming out of the '60s, and having worked in Boston's Little City Hall program — which was essentially an anti-bureaucratic organization set up to get city employees to do what they were paid to do — I have seen the failure of government as much as the success of government," he says. But if O'Donnell and O'Neill had generational and philosophical differ- ences, their common heritage made for a political marriage that almost had to happen. Both are Boston Irishmen from modest economic backgrounds. O'Donnell's father was a disabled vet- eran of World War II who went into business selling war surplus goods (in 1946, the elder O'Donnell supplied the typewriters and adding machines for the campaign that first sent John F. Kennedy to Congress). During the younger O'Donnell's senior year at Brown, his father's busi- ness experienced some financial re- verses. To remain in school, O'Donnell had to quit the football team — on which he played defensive tackle — and go to work nights at Providence's main post office at the foot of College Hill. (He credits Benjamin Roman '25, then Brown's dean of student affairs, with gelling him the job.) And, like O'Neill, O'Donnell exhibited an affinity for tra- ditional values and institutions. During his senior year, he served as president of the Interfratei nity Council at a time when fraternity membership was de- clining sharply. "I gave a speech on rush night in 1968, trying to give people the sense that fraternities aren't what you think they are, that they're a lot more di- verse," recalls O'Donnell, who says he's surprised by the current resurgence of fraternities at Brown. "It's really quite extraordinary," he says with a combi- nation of bemusement and satisfaction. O'Donnell's first major venture into the political world came two years after he graduated with a degree in history. While teaching at Somerset (Massachusetts) High School near Fall River, he was approached by a friend working for Boston Mayor Kevin White — then seeking the Democratic nomi- nation for governor. O'Donnell agreed to help round up state convention del- egates in the Fall River area. White lost the governorship race that year. But O'Donnell came out a big winner. By the time he was twenty-five, he was running the Little Citv Hall program in Boston. At twenty-nine, he managed White's re-election campaign for mayor. A year later, he was White's executive assistant. And, in the long- standing tradition of Boston Irish pols, O'Donnell demonstrated there was a flip side to his booming laugh and often jocular manner. He gained a reputation as someone willing to carry out the less pleasant aspects of governing Boston — such as firing people White wanted to get rid of. By 1977, O'Donnell decided it was time to get out himself. It appears to have been a case of two strong person- alities — White and O'Donnell — collid- ing. It was also the period in which White began his much-reported trans- formation from reformer to machine politician, and some acquaintances say O'Donnell became disillusioned. "I saw Kevin White as a liberal re- forming mayor," O'Donnell says of his initial decision to go to work for White. He pauses and adds: "A liberal mayor at that time." Having earned a degree attending Suffolk Law School at night, O'Donnell hung out his shingle. A few months later, an old friend — then-Lt. Gov. Thomas P. O'Neill III— called. The lieutenant governor's father, the Speaker of the House of Representa- tives, was looking for a new general counsel. After some coaxing, O'Donnell accepted, and in March 1978 he began working for Tip O'Neill. continued Putting O'Neill on television was a gamble, given his telegenic rival: a former actor by the name of Ronald Reagan 34 As the tributes to O'Neill rolled in during the waning days of the 99th Congress this past October, House Majority Whip Thomas Foley of Wash- ington predicted that O'Neill's legacy will be that he turned the House speakership into a "truly national office." In contrast to predecessors such as the legendary Sam Rayburn — who preferred to confine his activities to the back rooms — O'Neill decided to take advantage of that newest of media: television. In the absence of a Demo- cratic president, it made O'Neill the mosl visible Democrat in the (ountrv u lull gi c.i 1 1\ mi teasing I In Speaker's personal popularity. Again, it was a strategy that bore O'Donnell's imprint, as the Speaker's counsel recognized thai television of- fered the opportunity for the public to see — and judge — O'Neill for them- selves. It also provided an illustration ol one ill O'Donnell's chiel functions in the Speaker's office. In I)i gel to them — as a politician who was running out of gas and was out ol tone h," says O'Donnell. "So we had to make a deci- sion to put the Speaker forward with television in a much more aggressive fashion than had been (lone in the past." Adds O'Donnell: "If O'Neill suc- ceeded or failed, it would be on his own merits, and not on the ability ol the opposition to caricature him." It was a tall order, considering the inevitable comparisons between the decidedly untelegenic O'Neill and his very telegenic nemesis: former actor Ronald Reagan. But the gamble worked. The first step was for the Speaker's office to hire a television-oriented press secretary. O'Donnell found one in Christopher Matthews, a one-time speechwriter for Jimmy Carter. "We wanted someone who could compete with the White House public relations machine and who would be eager to put the Speaker forward," recalls O'Donnell. And O'Donnell eagerly grabbed "any opportunity to tear down the myth that O'Neill didn't like televi- sion." One such chance came during the 1982-83 television season, when the Speaker was approached to do a cameo appearance on a then-struggling sitcom set in a Boston bar. The show was "Cheers." The casting director for the shout happened to be the son of a for- mer secretary in O'Neill's office. "The Speaker didn't want to say no to De- lores's son, so he had the son call me — sure that his cautious counsel would say no," chuckles O'Donnell. "I said, 'Hey, that's a great idea!' " O'Neill went on the show. Having solved some ol the Speak- er's image problems, O'Donnell went to work on some of the Democratic Party's image problems. Once again, the loyal staffei says it is his boss who deserves much of the credit. But O'Donnell adds with a smile: "I certainly would open up the door to pollsters to meet with the Speaker." One such pollster, William Hamil- ton, did an opinion snivev toi O'Neill after Walter Mondale's disastrous de- feat in 1984. The poll results were no more heartening than the election re- turns. "The Democrats were viewed as big taxers, big spenders, and poor per- formers," says O'Donnell. "I certainly supported ihe Speaker in responding to these poll figures in a way that prob- ably surprised some people. As a result of those figures, the Speaker made smut vciv important decisions. First, that he would not seek a tax increase unless the President himself advocated one. Second, he decided not to go for- ward with the House Budget Commit- tee (lilting spending lust — because he wanted the Senate to go first so the Democrats wouldn't be perceived as weak on defense. "Look at the polls now — the Dem- ocrats look a lot more fiscally responsi- ble than they ever have before," he says. "Where the Democrats have not made progress is on providing for the national defense. That's about as low in the polls as it was two years ago. On budget-cutting and taxes, we've made some progress." O'Donnell's duties with O'Neill were not limited to serving as the Speaker's political guru. With a steady stream of foreign dignitaries making the pilgrimmage to Capitol Hill, O'Donnell found himself with the re- sponsibility for briefing O'Neill — whose Kirk O'Donnell stands (above and on page 32) in front of the new headquarters for the Center for National Policy at 317 Massachusetts Avenue. One of the developers of the building is Kenneth A. Golding '69. grasp of foreign policy has never been regarded as his strong point. It also helped give O'Donnell a reputation for being able to handle policy as well as politics. In searching for a new president of the Center for National Policy, Moe says the board was seeking "someone who could bring together a combina- tion of political sense and policy sense. That's a hard combination to come by in this town; a lot of people are either one or the other. Kirk always combined those two better than anyone I know." In November 1985, O'Donnell announced he would leave O'Neill's office to head the fledgling think tank. O'Neill, whose brand of politics has always placed family and loyalty above all else, at the time paid O'Donnell the ultimate compliment. O'Donnell, the Speaker told reporters, is "part of my family." Knowledgeable sources say that the Center for National Policy is paying O'Donnell a salary close to six figures, hardly a shabby paycheck for someone O'Donnell's age. At the same time, they note O'Donnell could have commanded two or three times that if he had chosen to parlay his wealth of political connec- tions into a job .it one of the scores of lawyer/lobbying firms that dot down- town Washington. Why didn't he? "1 believe Congress has changed, and ideas are more im- portant than regional economic inter- ests in determining the course of legis- lation," O'Donnell replies. "That be- came very apparent to me in the 99th Congress, with the Gramm-Rudman deficit legislation and the tax reform legislation." He continues: "Speaker O'Neill felt enormously the pressure on the Demo- cratic Party to come up with some new approaches. And he was more than willing to embrace them and push them. What was lacking, frankly, was the infrastructure the Republicans have had to promote things on their side like Star Wars, supply-side economics, and privatization." That's the role O'Donnell envisions for the Center for National Policy. Since he took over last February, the Center has put "more emphasis on achieving consensus when it's possible, but on occasion we'll throw out an idea or take a position on an issue," savs O'Donnell. noting the wide attention received bv a recent Center proposal for resolving the farm credit crisis. In an article in the New Republic last year, correspondent Robert Kuttner said of the Center: "The work product is, on the whole, decent enough. But, in practice, the Center has been more like a cerebral counterpart of the Mondale campaign — a guarded attempt to build consensus through coalition. There is little, if any, thinking about broad themes, of how policy connects to poli- tics or to constituency." The article appeared the week O'Donnell was named as president. "I've taken that criticism to heart," he says. Under O'Donnell's stewardship, the Center has left its former outpost in the city's Georgetown section and moved into a new townhouse on Capi- tol Hill — just a few minutes away from the Senate and House of Representa- tives. It has sponsored an increasing number of symposia on issues ranging from U.S. policy towards the Philip- pines to federal amnesty for tax evad- ers. And, in response to the prolifera- tion of conservative college newspapers in recent years, it's even committed it- self to raising $50,000 to help start lib- eral publications on several campuses. The goal is to promote a progressive agenda at a time when a conservative President has gained tremendous per- sonal popularity among the eighteen- to twenty-four-year-old sector of the population. Employing his considerable con- nections, O'Donnell has pushed the Center's annual budget to about $900,000 — a 50-percent jump over previous years. That's still a far cry from think tanks like the Brookings Institution, whose large staff and $14-million annual budget have made it a prime source of talent for Democratic administrations. O'Donnell says the Center for National Policy's ambitions are more modest. "Some people may look at my board and say, That's a government-in- waiting,' " he laughs, "but there's noth- ing there on our agenda." Which is not to say that O'Donnell may not find himself in the executive branch if the Democrats retake the White House in two years. "He could be in the White House in a top role with- out any problem," says fellow Bostoni- an Tom King, who's known O'Donnell since their days working together for Kevin White. "His judgment is as good as I've ever seen. There is no question he is going to be a top adviser in Dem- ocratic policy circles and political circles for the next generation." What of the lessons left behind by that preeminent Democrat of the last generation, Thomas P. O'Neill? "Number one, I don't think you want to be insensitive to the attitudes of the voters towards deficits and debts," O'Donnell savs. "Number two, Demo- crats have got to maintain their long- standing support of equal opportunity, equal rights, and a helping hand ex- tended by the government to the poor, the needy, the handicapped, and the disadvantaged. The Democratic Party is viewed as a party with a heart, and the) should value and treasure that." Lou Peck, a reporter with the Gannett News Service in Washington, has written for the BAM i»i several occasions. ffl THE CLASSES Bv James Reinbold 36 Still 'The Scribe' In October 1935, Roswell Bosworth '18 wrote his first newspaper column. Today the retired publisher of the East Bay newspapers — Barrington rimes, Bristol Phoenix, Warren Times-Gazette, and Sakonnet Times — is still writing. After fifty-one years, "This and That from Here and There" by "The Scribe" still reaches 18,000 homes in Rhode Island and is probably the longest-run- ning newspaper column in the country. According to an article in the Oc- tober issue of Yankee magazine, Bos- worth has always (bought of himself as an observer and not an advocate, a chronicler of what he sees and the way things look to him. He is on the alert for items of public interest, and when he travels, he writes about it. The Scribe has made it a point to avoid con- troversy. There's enough of that re- ported elsewhere, he savs. Bosworth's labor of love— 2,600 weeks in a row — has not gone unnot- iced. The Rhode Island Press Associa- tion recently inducted him as one of the first five members of the Rhode Island Newspaper Hall of Fame. Informed of the honor, Bosworth commented. "I will sav how humble I feel, how proud I am to be in this group. I'm glad I'm still alive." 'Senior power' In the early 1950s, when Mary Crowley Mulvey '53 A.M. became involved with the cause of senior citizens, the phrase had not yet been coined, and gerontol- ogy wasn't a special field of study. She did pioneering research at Brown on the social and mental adjustments of the aging process, and for her doctoral work at Harvard, she researched career patterns of Rhode Island women. Now seventy-six, this educator, gerontologist, and initiator of Medicare and generic drug legislation shows no signs of slowing down or resting on her roomful of awards and citations. She is president of the Rhode Island Council of Senior Citizens, vice president and co-founder of the National Council of Senior Citizens, and a member of that group's political action committee. In July, Mulvey was honored by more than 600 people at a gala lunch- eon commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of (he founding of the National Council ol Senior Citizens. Hei proudest achievement, she told the Providence Journal-Bulletin, was helping draft die I. uulm.nk Medicare legisla- tion, "li look us awhile," she said. "We had to vote out a lot of deadheads on the Ways and Means Committee. Il took a lot of work at the polls during election time." Medicare was signed into lau l>\ President Johnson in 1965. She also worked closel) with the late Rhode Island Congressman John F. Fogarty in drafting the Older Ameri- cans Act of 1965. Mulvey stresses the point that the elderly are a powerful lobbv. "They have learned to vote on issues and not personalities," she savs. "Seniors aren't dumb, i lies know what the candidates stand for." And woe to the candidate who doesn't recognize that power. "He's done. He'd better give up," says the state's number-one seniors' advo- cate. Showing his art Dana Gordon '66. who was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant for his painting, was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal last July. The funds for the award come from the estates of artists Jackson Pollock, who died in 1956, and his wife, Lee Krasner, also a painter, who set up the foundation before she died in 1984, and are given based on accomplishment and need. Gordon was a visiting artist and an assistant professor at several universi- ties in the 1970s before returning to New York in 1979 in order "to concen- trate on painting and make my living from my art." Life was difficult. "Five years ago I was starving," he says. "My weight dropped down to where it was when I was a junior in high school. This may sound desirable in this svelte era, but it's not. On the other hand, I learned a thing or two about selling art and about what makes art history." He has had a one-man show of his experimental films at New York's Mu- seum of Modern Art and solo shows of his paintings at the Ericson Gallery in New York and the Armour Gallery in (Imago. His work is represented in such collections as those of Philip Mor- ris, Inc.. the Royal Film Archive of Bel- gium, and the Brooklyn Museum. Gor- don was commissioned bv The Opera Ensemble of New York in 1985 to de- sign modern sets for a new production of Donizetti's Don Pasquale. During the month of February, his work will be on view at an exhibition curated bv John Bernard Myers entitled "Knowing What 1 Like" at the Kouros Gallery in New York. "I've been woodshedding for a few years," Gordon says, "and decided last year that I was just about ready to show my work again. So this show could not have come at a better time."

The Frontier Republic: Ideology and Politics in the Ohio Country. 1780-1825 (The Kent State University Press). According to a press re- lease, the book is an examination of how set- tlers sought to define their constitutional rights after the American Revolution. Cay- ton is concerned with the history of men thinking about the natures of government, society, and the exercise of power, and he draws evidence from the writings and ac- tions of men involved in these political activ- ities. While the book takes the shape of a narrative of political events, it is unique in that it elucidates and evaluates the ideologi- cal origins and ramifications of those events instead of telling the story of the events themselves.

From Yanderbilt, Mr. Wade went to Alabama as athletic di- rector and head football coach in 1923. In April 1931, Duke officials, looking for a coach who could give that institution a foot- ball team worthy of James B. Duke's mil- lions, hired Mr. Wade. His success at Duke raised football in the Carolinas to new heights. And his prestige was such that his opposition to the University of North Caro- lina's plan in the 1930s to restrict recruiting 54 and limit scholarships to financial need helped defeat the proposal. After World War II, however, emphasis on recruiting and specialization ultimately exasperated Mr. Wade, and he retired in 1950, saving it was beneath his dignity to try to persuade high school players to attend Duke. Bobby Dodd, former coach of Georgia Tech and a rival of Mr. Wade, said of the legendary coach: "If we must lose to anyone, I'd choose to lose to Wallace Wade. When we have beaten him, Mr. Wade has alwavs come over and congratulated us in a way that made us know he meant what he said. He has never blamed the weather or the field, the officials or hard luck.
