' ' Don ' t be upset. These are just the silly stories her papa tells her. Pegasus is an independent student publication of Wasliing- ton College, Cheslertown, Maryland. Its editorial board bears full responsibility for its production and content. You may rest assured, as do we, that the Administration of Wash- ington College cannot be considered responsible.

Turner pegasus 1971 Yearbooks have always been edited as a succession of neatly captioned faces, individually and in groups for the sole purpose of invoking fond remembrance during periods of melancholy and nostalgia in future years. In particular, the volume has served to commemorate a successful four year campaign by senior students, holding their achievements before the bulk of the student body as personifications of success to be emulated. It is in effect a vanity press. A book whose sole interest upon its release is an immediate perusal for pictures of oneself and one ' s friends and which is then forgotten for many years until only the ghost of a memory of cir- cumstances and events allows personal distortion and reinterpre- tation can serve no useful purpose to the institution or succeeding events and students. It serves only the ego of the individual. On the other hand, the very nature of the publication ' s scope, and its time of release offer the potential of a truly useful role. As a new academic year begins, the events of the one just past are still clearly in mind. Only the exultations of triumph and the de- spondency of recognized mistakes have lost their keenness. It is at this time that the institution and those continuing on in its progress should evaluate the immediate past; its events and policies. For that immediate past forms the bulk of the foundation for the year(s) to come. It is to this end that this book has been edited. It is not our intention to promote discord, only self analy- sis in a way which only an annual publication, fortified with the perspective of comprehensive hindsight possesses. Therefore the emphasis of the ' 71 Pegasus is not upon a captioned, captured parade of faces, but upon events and issues. In so doing we have done away with many of the traditional formats and features. This is the price of producing a volume geared for a direct effect upon the present, the immediate future, rather than the impotent dis- tant decades. It is our hope that this will, nonetheless, serve to sat- isfy those distant nostalgic moments by evoking a more vivid, re- alistic remembrance of the past year which will spur the heart and mind much more than your portrait at the age of 2 1. Once the decision is talcen to depart from traditional format, the question of a dedication becomes a difficult one. In other works a dedication is short, simple recognition of appreciation for moral or material contribution to the genesis of the work itself. In year- books however, tradition prescribes that the dedication shall be a testimonial to the popularity and prestige of the individual in ques- tion, demonstrating the ideal relationship between learned instruc- tion and the formation of rounded mature intellects from the tin- washed brains of mere high school graduates. The dedication is as close as most yearbooks come to commitment and value judgement in regard to education and the institution. The presentation of these kudos has always been involved and abstract, in part to dem- onstrate the rounded intellect, but more probably because the tes- timonial is intended as a uniform vote of appreciation from the diverse group to whom the book, by nature of its content, is actual- ly dedicated; the senior students. To be sure, Washington College has a surfeit of wise, able and popular men and women worthy of special note. To single out one individual from among them using the traditional standards of judgement would be extremely difficult. In the context of the tone of this volume it would also be facetious. We have, therefore, chosen to expand our range of qualifications to include not only excellence as an educator (in both the practical day-to-day and broad moral responsibility to progressive excellence) but also to immediate relevance to the work at hand. In so doing we have found our ideal in Dr. Tai Sung An. Dr. An ' s ability as an educator has already been recognized by faculty and students alike. Recipient of the Limbeck Award for excellence in teaching as well as the whole-hearted respect of eight generations of Washington College students, he is a man amply worthy of the traditional testimonials yearbooks are wont to print. More than this, however. Dr. An has demonstrated an appreciable flexibility in his approach to academic life. Combined with his un- stinting demand for cogent well-informed presentations before as well as from his classes, one finds in him an understanding of the student ' s need for the personal relevance that sparks initiative and scholarly ambition, and that the sources and barriers to such rele- vance are as varied and intangible as the factors governing the in- ternational politics he teaches. Pegasus is in a position to especially appreciate Dr. An, not only for the framework of analysis he has taught so well, but also because without his patient understanding this volume could not have been completed, and so, with gratitude and respect we dedicate our work to him. gf Si m A ' : . y?

Where do we go from here? Inaugural Address ' ' ?5t: - . I hope you have a little nonsense left in you ...

Fall Convocation Speech - J ; ' - ' Se ' i r y i Ensign Merdinger wasn ' t yet trapped, but his agile mind began thinking along those lines ... His thoughts passed through various phases, taking the form of silent prayers. At first he hoped he wouldn ' t be wounded. As things grew worse, he hoped that, if wounded, he at least wouldn ' t be permanently crippled. Finally, he reached the point where he was com- pletely prepared to give his life. He prayed only that he might die — and he knew he was guilty of a cliche — like an officer and a gentleman, an inspiration to his men.

In clearly the best debut at Washington College since Micheal Demick, Reed Hessler delivered such a detailed performance as the older gentleman, Brown, that I was convinced he was an old men. His timing fit precisely into the character which he used to the best effort. However, I will not use all of my superlatives on Mr. Hessler, even though he may deserve them. Joel Elins, as Carmen the barman also made the best of impressions. Even when Mr. Elins was not at all involved in the ac- tion, he was keeping his character, and the facial reactions he delivered seemed different each time. A round of applause to his timing and delivery, and for both Mr. Elins and Mr. Hessler, a personal ovation. Tom Stoppard ' s play itself came very close to monotonous especially during Act I. I did feel that his concept of games people play and the fantas- ies people create to keep themselves alive was met even though he did use a great deal of words to state this. George Riley, almost a Walter Mitty, is a likeable sort of fellow. However we begin to mistrust him when Stoppard tells us through Riley ' s daughter, Linda, that George is a sponge, living from her sal- ary so he can invent things as impractical as he says they are practical, which may be the message of Enter a Free Man : impractically versus prac- tically. As Georjie Riley, Tom Snode had his moments as he dazzled us with sincere charm. More often though he used charm for humor and charm for pathos. His transition soliloquy in Act I was clear- ly his shining moment as Mr. Snode shed the charm and delivered some true acting. Congratu- lations for giving us this portion with simplicity and sensitivity which is much appreciated. Mark Lobell and Jones Baker made far better ap- pearances in Act II, perhaps due to better lines and situations, than they did in Act I, and an attrac- tive blonde whose name escapes me, conveyed Florence, a has-been-who-never-has-been dancer, with a turn of the head or a delicate way of ask- ing for a drink. Timothy Maloney seemed to have misplaced the family situation scenes, for an argument no mat- ter how onesided it seemed to be always came over as a disagreement. However, his comic sense of timing got admiration when George Riley ac- costed Brown for being an industrial spy. Paul Mazer has whipped up another scenic de- light with a dual setting that did not look like a pub and a home; it was a pub and a living room. Honors must go to Mr. Mazer and his dedicated minority ; whomever they may oe. And finally, special recognition must go to Nan- cy Beaven and Carole Baldwin for laughing their fool heads off while the rest of the audience sat on their hands. Congratulations girls, and the cast should congratulate you. ■«? C iS!5. B m i: r.v '   ' ' ' iii m 4 p ' ' ' . ■0 - ' H ' fW= :--V ' ' .

Open House Well, the S. G. A. is taking definite steps to aide Washing- ton College ' s social at- mosphere. In the next week, all students should get engraved Invitations to the Student Gov- ernment ' s First Annual Open House. It will be held on December 11, following the Christmas Choir Concert The S. G. A. will provide eight kegs of beer and will announce the recipients of the Fu Manchu Awards. Assistance The S. G. A has also passed a proposal which should enhance campus events. The S. G A. will assist any dorm(or dorms) In their social events. The S. G A will donate $L50 to- wards the party for every stu- d ent In the dorm which Is spon- soring the party. This does not mean that whenever two or more gather together, the S. G A will throw In $150 each. It Is hoped that this program will Inltate parties with a Uttle creativity. Hilary Parkinson suggested events such as a dorm sponsoring a movie with beer and popcorn or a party with Jug Band Music. The parties must be free and open to the entire campus. Be- fore the S. G. A. will agree to assist the event, the Results From Poll Tabulated by Pollonius According to returns from an Elm questionnaire handed out in the lunch line Tuesday, Nov- ember 24, over one third of the students at Washington College regularly leave campus on weekends because the place drives (them nuts. Over 150 students responded to the questionnaire, providing a relatively balanced cross- section of grades and sex. In answering why they frequently left campus on weekends, most answered that the school ' s en- vironment drove them nuts while others stated reasons ranging from goinghometo vis- it the family to rendez-vouswith boyfriends or girlfriends. Of the two-thirds who usu- ally do spend weekends on col- lege turf, over half report that they study, while the remaining half, in their own words, get loaded, ball, trip, smoke dope and party. In fact, almost one- third of the responses mention the specific use, and deliberate overuse, ofdrugs and or liquor, in order to manufacture a tem- porary escape. la.1 College Is College is education -- stimulus to the mind, visual intel- lectual social, liberal arts education is the education of well rounded men. universal men i.e. university, exposure to new people, new ideas, new problems, new sorrows - new joys. Education is group effort, group stumblings and discov- ies. group strength and group support, education is soli- tary conifrontation. to confront ream after ream of prin- ted matter alone, armed but with tensor lamp and hi- lighter. Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you... College is class after class, badly heated classrooms, lec- tures many lectures boring, interesting, incomprehensible, enlightening lectures, college is personal contact, touch students, teachers, friends and lovers, touch. College is your friends, your group, people you know, people who don ' t know, people alone, people coupled, people in crowds, college is walking out of your dorm and finding a stranger crying on the path in the dark, pity the poor immigrant who wishes he had stayed at home. College is success, academic honors, job offers, bright vis- tas of graduate school, social success, personal succe es. to the victors go the spoils to the vanquished oblivion, college is the diploma grasped as the long distance runner breaks the tape, college is three years, two years, one sem- ester of too much sadness and too much sorrow, and gone, and two months later nobody knows your name. College the responsibility all individuals undertook be- ing adults of sound mind and sound body, make the best of your opportunities, make yourself secure, make your- self happy, you have no one to blame but yourself, no one but yourself. you have no one at all. College is community, community equals 600 and some people in the same place, we are all part of the community but some are more a part of the community than others, community is shared goals (?) ideals, community is shared diversity, community is togetherness, togetherness is like riches, some have it, others cry on empty paths late at night. College is many little cubicles tacked on to empty con- crete halls. College is home, but home is where the heart How can you be at Washington College when you ' re no- I where at all.

It rarely hits a soul, though, that the ELM is not your weekly rag of vicarious sub-intellectual entertainment; that it just might be that some folks are giving up their own time to give you a public voice in the community ( a term I isolationist, ai strong streak of ruthless cynicism and projected feelings of universial absurdity in Washington Colli just the temper of oui But try to expl professor what ' s happening students outside his elassrnnr He she ' ll rai You ' ll be refe.uru lu ui. oiaui, our resident psychologist.

If you ' re not stoned out, drunk, balling your lover, or living in your own personal fantasy world, Washington College is, indeed, a very diffiault place to live with any degree of mental health.

Francis To Review The Operation Of The College by Bill Prettyman Washington College now has its own internal management consultant, with the appointment of Richard H. Francis to the position of Assistanttothe Pre- sident. Francis ' primary role will be to conduct management and planning studies through- out all levels of the college operation. He will also function as a general supervisor of the Student Affairs office. Mr. Francis will fill the va- cancy leftbyDeanHarold Gray ' s resignation, but this will not be his primary responsibility. He will probably be devoting only 10% of his time to Student Af- fairs. The other 90% of his time will be spent analyzing the entire operation of Washing- ton College, in order to make recommendations for a more efficient organizational struc- ture. Mr. Francis views this as trimming the fat which all institutions pick up through the years. Re-Examination The need for a comprehensive re-examination of all facets of college life may be particular- ly important if the college goes into another period of planned growth. Mr. Francis may study the possibilities and pro- blems growing out of an in- crease to 1,000 students with- in the next five to ten years. What would be necessitated in the way of buildings, faculty, and curricular changes? He views his job primarily as one of deciding how t)est to allocate resources in order to achieve specific goals. In man- agement analysis, one first de- cides what goal one wants to achieve, which is primarily a philosophical question. Then subordinate objects necessary to achieve the goals are de- cided upon, as an example, if the major goal were to Increase the academic atmosphere of Washington College, for sub- ordinate objectives one could suggest a new library and 100,000 new volumes to fill it. The subordinate objectives are then analyzed in terms of func- tions. What methods will most efficiently and completely in- sure their successfuloperation ' ' ;stigall Mr. Francis also stressed the importance of dealing with people in this type of analy- sis. One should not lock in- dividuals into positions of un- necessary and troublesome responsibility simply for the sake of organization clarity. He will investigate not specifically who performs what job, but how the job is performed and other possible ways of performance. People must be accepted as they are, a feeling he thought was best summed up by a Spanish proverb, There arethe mules with which we plow and with them we must plow.

Petition Early last fall the Inauguration Committee decided that a special issue of the ELM should be published for the inauguration. This special issue would not be published by the present editorial staff of the ELM but by an editor appointed by the committee. The following is the student Government Association ' s resolution which was passed by the Board of Publications in a special meeting on Wednesday. WHEREAS THE ELM is a student publication and whereas, student publications are protected by the Student Bill of Rights and Freedoms and WHEREAS the Student Bill of Rights and Freedoms makes it clear that editors and managers of student publications should be protected from arbitrary suspension and removal because of student, faculty, administrative, or public disapproval of editorial policy or content. Only for proper and stated causes should editors and managers be subject to removal and then by orderly and prescribed procedures. THE AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF EDITORS AND MANAGERS SHOULD BE THE AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR REMOVAL, and WHEREAS the student press should be free of censorship and advance approval of copy, and its editors and managers should be free to develop their own editorial policies and news coverage, and WHEREAS the Board of Publications is the agency vested with the responsibility of appointment and removal of editors, and WHEREAS the Inauguration Committee is planning a special issue of the ELM which will provide background on the College to the delegates and will constitute a momento of the day ' s events. And that this special issue of the ELM will be prepared NOT by the present editorial staff. . . but by an editor appointed by the Inauguration Committee, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Publications declare that the actions of the Inauguration Committee In this matter are null and void and that any issue of the ELM, special or not, must be published by the Editor and his staff appointed by the Board of Publications. Next week, the present staff of the ELM will publish its usual four page paper. Accompanying tl is Issue will be a special supplementary Issue concerned with the Inauguration. It Is the feeling of this editor that even though the means by which this special Issue was to be published were contrary to Student Bill of Rights and Freedoms that such an issue is warranted due to the Importance of the occasion. As with any Issue of the ELIVl the editor reserves the right to edit what he sees fit. To the editor: What I have to say needs more than the few words of a letter to the editor, but I will try. Last Saturday, the President of Washington College was inaugurated, and the whole spectacle was a good enough ex- ample of the scheme of things at this college, a three hour lesson in the illusion of liberal arts. Enough characters were together in the same place, and enough tradition and enough hard-to-believe talk about money, and buildings, and history, thrown in together, that 1 had that genuine feeling. The only genuine group that I missed at this inauguration was the student body. In an assembly of figures at a college inauguration, it is hard to believe the student interest would not be represented, but it was not, and after a while, one realized a great deal of the interest of Washington College had nothing to do with fact, with the group of people who paid their money and arc students. But what should be seen and thought about are those students who iic c sent to the in- auguration, and whatever student group was authorized to send them. The traditional speeches by the Reverend and Con- gressman, and the outside world were delivered, and then a spot was reserved for the addresses by members of the facul- ty and student body. The college ' s faculty representative. Dr. Newlin, made an impressive speech about those men and women he represents, and he showed forcefully that they were talented enough and aware of the specific problems of Washington College, to hold up their end of the bargain. As a group, they resist pressure from either the student body or administration. The faculty, then, the second largest group on campus, let us know where they stand. A student representative then addressed the crowd,- and I had hoped at this time that something would be expressed about the students, who are the largest group on campus, or at least the integrity of that group would be salvaged. The student was soon joined by three other students, and four guitars, and before the audience, they sang a song by Graham Nash. A majority of the people were delighted, and left the school delighted, but the obvious doesn ' t seem obvious enough. At an inauguration for a liberal arts college, the student body is represented as singing songs, and you are left won- dering at the art of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. The par- ticularly thorny problem of an inauguration unpopular with the students is resolved in a few bars of mediocre music, a popular tune, and no other effort is made. The point was brought home further at the end of the program when Warren Burger looked happily at us and offered the facile eulogy that we were indeed a group of bright and in- telligent faces. 1 never hoped for the distinction of a bright and in- telligent face and would not consider spending $12,000 at a liberal arts college to acquire one. Washington College exists as a place for other ostensible reasons, and 1 hope they will be carried out or attempted by students and faculty. My point in writing is only the unhappy belief that perhaps most of the mediocrity encountered at Washington College is a result of the student body brought here, and their inability to see what ' s happening to them. If the inauguration of President Merdinger was an example, we, as students, have a long and hard road to any respectable consideration.
