' ' X. . .- r IIP 1979 Pegasus Washington College Chestertown Maryland GATHERING MOMENTUM It began to be more fun to stay on cam- pus on weekends than head home to visit mom and dad. With the increase in con- certs, lectures, and dances, we slowly realized that Homecoming and the Birth- day Ball weren ' t the only times to stay around. The SGA was especially respon- sive to students ' interests in 1978, sponsoring such events as the fall bon- fire, the faculty-student run, the Jazz weekend with Charlie Byrd, and the Bordello party. There were parades and informal gatherings: the Sig ' s mem- orializing the late Pope, and crabs bought from the new Abercrombie and Fish store. And of course, there was tradi- tion: clubs, the William James Forum, and Mayday. -; :,..,i«r22 Down the hallway, with Springsteen blaring on a stereo, we wonder if we ' ll ever get used to dorm life. Roommates struggle to breakfast, eat, then separate to classes. In the dorms, the lucky ones sleep until their 11:30 classes. By afternoon, distractions are foremost in concentration. During the autumn of ' 78, classes were held under the Elm. From inside Bill Smith, voices echoed out of the second and third floor win- dows; Voices of change .... the fresh- men and new professors. The incoming class was an unusually large one. Seniors and freshmen shared rooms, ideas, and fun . . . and formed teams. After late meals because of practices running into the night, or mornings on the river when it was tough to see be- cause of the fog, and after the gym ' s floor was no longer a strange smell to the precision drills and the wind sprints, now the confidence fired in the locker room melds the team against the com- petition. Friends come with beer and encouragement to join in the excitement. Highlights such as the MAC volleyball championship or the Shoreman ' s victory in the Wild Goose Tournament made the ' 78 seasons more interesting. The split- second actions and reactions of the teams continued the athletic tradition unique to Washington College.

The bright spot of the season according to Coach Don Chatellier was sophomore Kane Bender. He ' s better than anyone we ' ve had in four years, Chatellier said. Chatellier was also pleased with the performance of Allyson McCormick in the MAC ' s, who was ' the first woman to compete in the men ' s race. Next year? We have our hopes, Chatellier said.

Top scorer for the season was V.J. Fill- iben, followed by Nelson Einwaechter, Tom Viscount, Bill Hamill, and Tom Vach.

Next year we ' re going to surprise some people. Dan Hudson The Women ' s Volleyball Team ended regular season play with twenty wins and eleven losses. Coach Penny Fall described the group as steady, but not spectacular. We were inexperienced, which bodes well for next year. They put a lot of time and effort into this year and on the whole it was a good, solid year. To be commended for their season were senior Jenny Butler, outstanding setter for the past four years, Tami Schauber, Maggie Stevens, and Sue Bennett, who all played consistently hard each game. As the team saying went, If we couldn- n ' t laugh, we ' d go insane. 1 feel that the past season was a season of learning. I really liked playing on the team because the girls all help one another.

Volleyball Team sports give a feeling of unity, a sense of cooperation with your team- mates. When everything clicks, the good feeling within the team can ' t be beat. Jenny Butler In a game I just keep thinking ' I have to get this one over. ' That helps to get me moving and keep alert. Sue Bennett Early in the season, Coach Tom Finnegan said, We may appear to be the weakest MAC team on paper, but we have two all conference players on out lineup. The success of the Shore- men ' s season proves that Coach Finnegan knew what he was talking about. The team began the season with a very difficult schedule but were not dis- couraged by the losses. Soon the Shoremen gathered a strong momentum that led them to a nine game winning -streak at mid season. Their team strength took them to their first MAC tournament ever. Doug Byrne, Joe Wilson, and Steve Dickinson received post- season honors after leading the team to a 12-9 record. c ndriM 9 ■ flS ■Jk c.

Five highly touted newcomers rounded out the team. Hurler Arch Hoopes and righthander Dave Barbierri were main- stays on the mound.

Jester, Rich Scott Rutter and Steve Wilkerson were all veteran outfielders while Bruce Abbott, Chris Kiefer, Jim Buchanan and Rich Schatzman returned to the infield from last year ' s team. The team seemed well pre- pared as they swept their first double-header from Drew, 6-1 and 1-0. But as soon as things looked promising, the Shoremen turned around and got trounced by York College. The rest of the season continued to oscil- late between wins and losses and the team ended with a 9-11-1 record.

The Women ' s Softball team showed a great deal of promise as it opened its second season at Washington College. Though it was still just a club with hopes for a varsity status next year, the team was fired up for a competitive season. The enthusiasm of the team was soon obvious as the girls trampled Wesley College 35 to 3. The season continued to be successful and ended with a 6-2 record. According to Coach Cindi Patchen, a 1978 WC graduate, The team had a lot of talent. It was just a matter of putting things together.

The highlight of the season, though, was the Penn Relays where the team placed fourth of the twelve that had entered. The time of 3:25.9 was an excellent effort considering the fact that it was the team ' s first effort at the prestigious relays. The prospect of returning to a more normal year next year appears good, Coach Chatellier said, Several new candidates have indicated they will be interested in participating. ..

The Shore- men had an exceptionally young and inexperi- enced group of players and one of the toughest schedules in the nation. Tim Hart, the lone returning Ail-American was definitely the leader of the team. The Shore stickmen experienced a let down after taking on Hopkins and had to scrap from a 7-6 deficit at halftime to defeat St. Mary ' s College. Despite the losses to teams such as Navy and Lehigh, the Shoremen rallied to win over Fair- leigh-Dickinson and Franklin-Marshall and end the season with a 3-8 record.

Before the season got under- way. Coach Craig Jackson was very optimistic about the women ' s crew. Every member of the team was an experienced and strong rower. Coxswain Molly Meehan was one of the keys to the success of the season. She was joined by Valerie Marsh at the stroke spot. Holly Craighead, Liz Montcalm, Claire Paduda, Ellen Beard- sley. Sue Sergeant, Laura Zimnick and Nancy Wilson. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate in the early spring. The first two races were cancelled. In the third, the lady rowers beat Villanova and LaSalle, and lost only to a very strong crew from Williams College. Despite setbacks, the team remained positive about the season and looks forward to next year. Coxswain Molly Meehan keeps 6:00 A.M. practices moving.

Mens Crew After two years of barely being able to boat two crews, this year ' s men ' s crew marked a return to the level last achieved in 1971 of three competing eights. The varsity crew was bolstered by lettermen Bill Skelton, Steve Perry, Dan Whitaker, and Jim §ievenson. The varsity also had two veterans of last year ' s freshman boat, John Townsend and Court Trueth, as well as Freshman Jeff Wilgis. Bart Nathan returned as coxswain. Although poor weather proved a handicap to the team, the Shoremen kept their spirit up to end the season with five wins, three losses and a positive outlook at the prospects for next year. a. 4 ' --.  f Women ' s Tennis st wc Opponent 7 St Elizabeth 1 5 Fairleigh DiLkmson 2 6 Essex 1 Catholic LI. 9 6 Trinit College 3 9 Anne Arundel ' 8 ■H j ggft 4 Salisbury Slate jS HH 3 Calonsville V 6 6 Gallaudel 3 2 Western Maryland 5 1 .-Franklin Marshall 6 3 Amefi n U. 6 9 Wes1 College 6 Gbucher College 3 1$ s Led by a host of underclassmen, the women ' s tennis team played its most challenging schedule ever. Coach Penny Fall was very pleased with the play of her girls after the first few opening matches.

Tammy Wolf was to play the 4 position but an injury sidelined her and the spot went to freshman Elizabeth Gowen. Janet Sparre and Shannon Crosby filled the 5 and 6 spots. With no seniors on the team in 1979, Miss Fall is very pleased about the prospects for the season next year.

We just have to hope we can continue to improve and win some matches next year. I I i Senior Bill Johnson pla; match. Although intercollegiate sports usually capture more news coverage, intermurals provide other opportunities for athletic contest on campus. The enthusiasm of both the men and women on their teams accounted for the increased interest in intermurals such as volleyball, football, badminton, and table tennis. The Bof Chi ' s defeated the Theta ' Chi volley- ball team two games to one to take the Men ' s Intermural Volleyball Championship. Inter- mural basketball kept the gym busy during the winter months with teams like the Kent-5, We-B-Devo, and the Dining Hall Boys battling for the title. Another fast paced sport enjoyed by the students was socrosse, an intermural that guaranteed to make the team move. Undoubtedly, intermurals will continue to play an important role in campus life at WC. As the past year ' s seasons showed, students are con- tinuing to discover other means of involvement with on-campus life. Intermurals w STUDENT LIFE A year lacking major upheavals gives us time to think and to be ourselves. Here, senior Scot Browning takes time out to enjoy a restful moment at the service station near Southern States outside of town. Where Do We go From Here? If it is not inappropriate to describe an academic year in sports jargon, perhaps we can term 1978-79 a re-building season. In one sense a plateau year lacking major upheaval, this school year was one which allowed us the leisure to think about who we are and where we are going. The question of our relationship to the Chester- town community and the world at large, how- ever, was forced on us by one negative aspect of campus life, as well. Theft and vandalism be- came a serious problem; the destruction and loss of college property robbed us all in terms of respect in the community as well as in terms of money. It all started early in the fall when news of cam- pus-wide crime leaked to the local press, and Washington College experiences a wave of theft headlined articles in several Eastern Shore weeklies. Behaviorial problems in West Hall, which placed the entire Lambda Pi Delta fraternity on social probation also made news on campus. Vandalism started in earnest second semester when a keg was hurled through the plate glass windows of Bill Smith Hall and the Student Affairs Office. That same weekend, what start- ed out as a friendly snowball battle among some of the residents of Kent House ended in a full- flegded fight with a group of townies whose automobiles were pelted with snowballs. A break-in of the gym and of the ELM office on the night of the Washington College Washing- ton Birthday Ball soon followed. The most major act of vandalism in the 1978-79 school year was the destruction of the rail by the library steps — an act committed by outsiders. This year, we had no one to blame but ourselves for the hundreds of dollars worth of damage that was evident all over campus when we came back after vacation. Damage then included the destruction of the piano in Reid Hall. Thusnelda, the famed blue mascot of the Wombats was another victim of vandalism. She met her death in October in a fall from the Water Tower and was interred in the town dump. No act better expressed the general sense of out- rage felt among most law-abiding students over vandalism than in the verdict handed down by the Student Judiciary Board to two students accused of destroying part of the ceiling in a bathroom in Hodson Hall. They were sentenced to a fine of $200.00, a year and a half on pro- bation, and the writing of a letter of apology to be published in the ELM. From there the debate continues on the adequacy of our justice department and on our place in the community. Perhaps we will witness a radical change in be- havior as we dip into the growing trend of con- servatism sweeping campuses across the nation. • Last semester, the ELM published an article concerning the conservative Sshift in freshmen students ' opinions, based on research conin Dr. J. David • Newell ' s Introduction to Philosophy classes. Research establishing similar 5 findings has been going on around the nation. The Chronicle of Higher f mn If f£ducatlon of January 22, 1979 published a fact-file on the aiUP ' ICHARACTERISTICS and ATTITUDES OF 197879 COLLEGE 5freSHMEN, based on responses from 187,603 students who enrolled for the ffirst time last fall at 383 representative colleges and universities. A chart •reporting the attitudes of students in reprinted below. Like the research done fat Washington College, it reports a conservative trend in students ' thoughts. •THe source of the information printed below is The American Freshman fNational Norms for Fall, 1978 by Alexander W, Astin, published by the •American Council on Education and the University of California at Los •Angeles. The part of the Chronicle coverage dealing with attitudes also took into account such factors as whether the freshmen responding attended two- year or four year colleges, public or private, or predominantly black institu- tions. There was some variance depending on these factors.

The views of • Washington College students have J made a very conservative turn since m exactly 17 years ago this week when J students here joined with officials from • the National Association for the Ad- 2 vancement of Colored People in S ' ■ ' Freedom Raids protesting racial ' discrimination at local restaurants. Although the most conservative group f on this campus is still the College m Republicans, the Chronicle of Higher • Education noted recently that right- - wing affiliations are making waves at most colleges. Could WC be in the midst of a revolution in political thought? On- ly time can tell. Bolstered by a new assertiveness, the doctrine of the new right, and a healthy national organization, political- ly conservative students are increasing their influence on college campuses. While campus conservatives are still a minority, even liberal student leaders admit that identification with rightw- ing causes is on the rise. Last year • saw student groups lining up to oppose 2 ttfirmative action, to support Allan • Bakke ' s reverse-discrimination suit, and to advocate that the Panama Canal and the B-1 bomber not be given up. Effort Paying Off An organized effort by young conser- vatives in Young Americans for Freedom, the College Republicans, and other groups on the right of the political spectrum is paying off, says Robert C. Heckman, director of services in the national office of the Y.A.F. in Steriing, ' Young Americans for Freedom, the J national organization of young conser- (valives, is getting stronger on cam- |puses, agrees Joel C. Packer ►legislative director for the United rstates Student Association, which is Sscorned as too liberal by young con- Jservatives.

The new young conservatives are a ' smarter bunch, says Wesley McCune, a researcher for Group Research, Inc., ■ which monitors the right for liberal , politicians. They are an intelligent col- lection of young politicians, who . learned from the 60 ' s, who have more political savvy, and who are increasing- ly powerful. In articles for Group Research Report, a newsletter, Mr. McCune has reported on a trained cadre of right- wing student leaders, who were once active in supporting the Vietnam war and countering left-wing protests. Now, he says, those activists have moved into ' . ; legislative positions across the country, i Former and present Y.A.F. members ' are in great demand on the Hill as staffers for Republican Congressmen, he says. Maryland conservatively represented The most obvious example is Robert . E. Bauman, a former national chair- ,: man and a founder of the Y.A.F., who ;• now represents Maryland in the House ' of Representatives. No other youth ; : organization can match the kind of op- ■ portunity provided by Young Americans for Freedom, Represen- ' tative Bauman says. As the older conservatives move into higher positions in the Republican Par- ' ty, Mr. McCune notes, younger conser- vatives are rapidly replacing them . . . filling the campus ranks. I often find that they are outwork- ' ing, outlobbying, and outspending more . , liberal causes. Instead of merely countering the left, as they once did, the young conser- vatives are now actively campaigning for conservative causes and candidates both on and off campuses. To the posi- tions traditionally championed by leaders of the right-anti-communism and opposition to big government they have added som e new issues, such as abortion, women ' s rights, and homosexuals ' rights. On campuses, a number of issues stand out as important to conser- vatives. Increasingly, liberal students say they find a vocal group of activists esj)ousing the conservative side of af- firmative action, mandatory fees for student activities, and abortion. Those same conservatives demand a role in ' ' student governments, a column in the knee-jerk liberal newspapers, and conservative speakers to balance liberal speakers. I Student conservatives argue that af- , ' firmative action is a form of reverse ' discrimination against whites. Every individual should be judged, color-free, on the basis of his or her own merits, says Francis Connolly, head of the Y.A.F. chapter of Columbia University. The Y.A.F., in addition to sponsoring anti-affirmativeaction lectures on cam- puses, submitted a friend-of-the-court brief to the Supreme Court in support of Mr. Bakke. Dozens of Y.A.F. chapters have suc- cessfully sought referenda to keep stu- dent governments from imposing man- datory fees to pay for student activities. Why should students have to pay to support a liberal newspaper or student government, when both have political opinions alien to their own? asks Ter- rell R. Cannon, state chairman of the Y.A.F. in Nebraska. This is the type of activity which is most dangerous to campus liberals, says Janet M. Topolsky, director of the youth caucus of the Liberal Americans for Democratic Action. The fees are the lifeblood of student governments. Quietly Taking Over In addition, she says, Conservatives are very quietly taking over and mak- ; ing inroads in student governments. At the University of Texas at Austin, after the Y.A.F. and other student groups called for the abolition of the undergraduate student government, a campus referendum was held. The stu- dent government was abolished by a marginof 186 votes. Another of the young conservatives ' major complaints is the liberal tone of many student newspapers. If activity fees include a subsidy for the paper, conservatives want the fees to be volun- tary, or they want a say in the publica- tion ' s policies. At Adelphi University in upstate New York, Y.A.F. members demanded equal space in the paper and got it. Every week the group runs a col- umn, Y.A.F. ' s Eyeview, that discusses its side of such national issues as nuclear disarmament, abortion, women ' s rights, and defense spending. On the issue of campus speakers, con- servative students at the University of Nebraska demanded that the trustees take away from the student govern- ment the power to invite speakers who, the conservatives said, invariably turned out to be liberals. Now the power is in the hands of the university administration, and conser- vative speakers are invited to appear. !fc f - -; The new Republicans and some Democrats are classical conser- vatives, says Mr. Connolly, a junior in history at Columbia University. The old conservatives rejected all the social reforms and New Deal plans of F.D.R. The new right are young people who have accepted these social reforms, but who are against any more government regulation. The new right simply means young conservatives as opposed to old, says Adelphi ' s Mr. DeLetto. But there is no real split between the generations, because conservatives are a unified political group. The new right, as a whole, concentrates on the social and moral sides of issues. This is where the anti-E.R.A. and anti-abortion campaigns come from. Whatever the ideological reasons, young conservatives say they are pleased with their gains in membership and visibilitv. Although some liberals admit to be- ing fearful of the new drift toward con- servative principles, others say it is stu- dent apathy and not any real allegiance to the right that dominates campuses today. Liberal students and campus groups that want social change are still the norm, they say, but students are too concerned about getting jobs to march against social ills. Young liberals are interested in get- ting an education so they can get a job — any job, says Ms. Topolsky of Americans for Democratic Action. The conservatives on the campuses, although influential, are checked and. balanced by the liberal tendency of most students, she says. The right is up against for-the-most-part-liberal students who are going through per- sonal changes and who are ready to change the world around them ' ' Reprinted for THK ELM College Republican President Jim Larrimore on the campaign circuit discusses issues with Jerae Lowman.

' We Are Primarily Involved In The Business Of Education — Dr. Joseph H. McLain Despite whatever trends grip the nation, Wash- ington College will continue to serve in its main function as an academic institution. The Col- leg ' s association with such programs as the Manchester-Oxford Junior Year Abroad and the Political Science Washington Semester and State House Internship Programs upgrade a liberal arts and Sciences program that offers twenty major fields of study. Washington College ' s curriculum is one which grows with students ' needs, and the feasibility of enlarging that curriculum with business courses is one issue that continues to concern us. Another issue investigated in the Curriculum Committe of the the Faculty this year has been the establishment of a summer school program, enrichment courses, and a continuing education program. The summer program seems doomed due to the school ' s limited resources, but the development of courses for older students and classes designed just for the joy of learning could be a valuable asset to Washington Col- Debate continues on the future of a Language Department which has attracted but few majors in recent years, and we are still evaluating the meaning of the rapid growth of the Economics Department — which has grown in favor as a choice for majors, but one thing is evident about the academic program at Washington College — we ' ve been going strong for 197 years, grow- ing and changing all the time, so we must have been doing something right. The Chemistry Department was delighted when one of its students, jun- ior Leah Truitt, was invited to participate in a research seminar at the Oregon Institute during the spring semester of 1 979. Below, Paul Drinks takes timeout from his job in the library to catch up on his reading homework. It is not strange that registration is one of the busiest and most crucial times of the year, since Washington College ' s raison d ' etat is as a learning institution. Taking the well-worn path to class is a daily ritual, but such options as spending the junior year abroad at Oxford, for English, Music, Philosophy, and History majors, or working with an institution as a mathe- matics intern, as well as many other programs are available to Washington College students who take their academic career seriously. To spend too much times in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament is affectation- to make judgement wholly by their rules is the humour of a scholar _ Francis Bacon 1597 Taking Time Out Bill Skelton, at one of the pinball machines in Middle Hall ' s Game Room, and Rich Dwyer, browsing at the record selection in the college Book Store, demonstrate two popular ways to take time out from classes. Catching up on current events or playing hall lacrosse in Somerset were two other favorite alternatives. That old saying about all work and no play holds ' - gi us true here as well as it does anywhere else. Playing m - in the snow might be a safe precaution. So is lounging mmm around on the fire escape outside one ' s dorm as does A.J. Villani here. When some students aren ' t busy furthering their education, they ' re busy furthering their finances and providing services for the school and for their fellow students. Jim Bradley, Frank Filice, and Bev Powers are employed in a phone program in the Admissions Office. Jennifer Ahonen keeps busy in the dishroom between classes. Other students found on-campus jobs in the library, the mailroom, the gym, and ad- ministrative offices. Coffeehouse Provides Social Atmosphere Established eight years ago, the Coffeehouse is one of the most popular places where students can take time out from homework and enjoy a late night social atmosphere. Not only does the Coffeehouse provide an inventory which in- cludes eight or more types of domestic and im- ported beer, pizza, and other snack items, but it also features weekend cocktail parties regularly and often provides live entertainment. Student artists Jodee Baccala, Tom Viscount, and Amanda Fansler have performed in the Coffeehouse. The Student Government Assoc- iation in conjunction with Coffeehouse manager Tad Jacks has also sponsored such professional singers as Chip Franklin, Jeremiah Samuels, Liz Meyers and the Midnight Express, and D.C ' eats. A student center in the truest sense of the word, the Coffeehouse provides facilities for student poetry readings, the Writers Union Red Beer Film Series, and the International Cabaret, sponsored by the Modern Languages Depart- ment. The latest addition to the Coffeehouse is several electronic games. Managers new this year are Dan Duff, Ed Mit- zel, Mandy Scherer, and Andrew Bucklee, join- ing Jake Parr and Dave Panasci. Lost to grad- uation are Ted Jacks, Maggie Stevens, and Kathy Mullen. Jodee Baccala and Tom Viscount team up for a display of student talent. Profess- ional entertainment is provided by Chip Franklin and other groups who have per- formed in the Coffeehouse. Meanwhile, Kenny Pfitzenmayer seems to be enjoying the show. Laura Zimmnick, Curt Nass, Assistant Food Service Manager Jeff DeMoss, and IVIary Currier imbibe the late night atmosphere of the Coffee House. Remember, You Heard It Here First by NICK NAPPO, features editor, THE ELM dateline: October 27, 1978 There are a lot of guys like me, says Chip Franklin, 27-year-old singer songwriter from Washington D.C., and he ' s right. Singer song- writers keep the food stamp people in business. Everybody is hungry these days, but Franklin has fared better than most: he has opened for Sha-Na-Na, Tom Chaplin, and Emmylou Harris, and peddled songs to Warren Zevron and Jackson Browne, though neither has recorded his work. You might say he ' s got a foot in the door, or at least a couple of toes. Tuesday night he planted both feet firmly in the Coffeehouse. Now, no- body who plays solo for three hours in the Coffeehouse can hold the con- stant attention of the audience. They ' re not drinking coffee down there. But for a man of his ability. Chip Franklin spent too much time in the background. The problem was summed up when Franklin sang a Jackson Browne line, It ' s who you look like, not who you are, and then told listeners to keep that in mind. This is precise- ly what Franklin should be trying to make us forget. We know it ' s a tough climb for a troubadour; we know that ' there are a lot of guys ' like Franklin. We know that. The important thing is who Chip Frank- lin is, and he should present him- self without editorial comment. And why not? Franklin looks fine, sings superbly, and is a crisp and competent guitarist. And he ' s thrown his hat into the ring — he even performed Billy Joel ' s The Entertainer — so he ' d better get the hitches out of his delivery. Number One: he should introduce each song by title and composer. Franklin is in the California sound school and plays a lot of headmaster Jackson Browne ' s material, along with his own, which is similar and sometimes superior to Browne ' s. But since Franklin doesn ' t introduce the songs clearly, we don ' t know what ' s going on. Number Two: he should have a backup band. Franklin made demo tapes with studio musicians in Nash- ville this summer, and there is quite a difference. His songs were not written for a single guitar or key- board. (Franklin ' s taped voice, by the way, is as good as anything this reviewer has heard.) Franklin should be a featured performer, not a work- horse. Number Three: he should be more focused when he sings. Between songs Franklin made fine eye contact with the audience: he ' s a crowd- warmer. But when he sang, his eyes darted about. This dilutes the energy of a number. Actually, the whole question is one of focus. The emphasis of Chip Frankin ' s act should be on Chip Franklin, and on what he does best: songwriting. Franklin has penned a pair of beauties. Thunder is an angry song. It ' s a- bout an 80-year-old Indian named Thunder whom Franklin befriended in Santa Fe. The songwriter was shocked at the treatment Thunder received from others, including other Indians. He ' d get a dollar a day for working the fields, and everybody thought that was a dollar too much. Franklin says. Hence: For only a dollar he ' d give a day Animal justice, the people would say. Frank- lin expands the scope of the song by bringing in Kennedy ' s assassination, but he could have brought it in by much subtler means. As it stands, though, it ' s a powerful piece. Thun- der, Thunder, tell me why all my people close their eyes And I never understood how you knew I never would, I never would Come Thun- der. Well, Franklin is taking the chance now. Things appear to be breaking his way; he ' s negotiating with Elec- tra Asylum Records and Michael Murphy is currently performing Thunder. Chip Franklin has something to say, and an ability to say it. He should not sell himself short. To say that this year ' s Student Government Association kept a low profile may be to make an understatement; although the SGA provided social outlets in the form of dances, bands in the Coffeehouse, bonfires, and such events as the Hawaiian Luau sponsored in April, few rank and file students give the organization much credit for its influence on campus life. SGA leaders have assured us that they have been working behind the scenes to improve the academic as well as the social atmosphere of the College, and the Student Academic Board, headed by SGA vice president Maura Kelly has been working with the faculty ' s Academic Council to streamline senior requirements, but much remains to be done. The SGA headed in 1979-80 by newly elected president Jay Young will have as its lot the restructuring of the Senate and the Student Judiciary Board, which, through the debate it sparked over arbitrary sentencing of vandals this spring, proved it is badly in need of orga- nization, the re-evaluation of the four-course plan, and the establishment of more diversified social activities. Low-Profiled SGA Provides Social Outlets SGA President Foster Deibert (above) returned some of the respect that his predecessor had lost back to the SGA. Below, the Red Hots provide enter- tainment at the SGA sponsored Hawaiian Luau. SGA Beautifies Campus Through BUSH Project BUSH volunteers landscape the Hod- son Hall area. Below, Jay Young sup- ervises the landscaping near Ferguson Hall. We have over $600.00 in materials and all the tools we can use, what we desparately need now to insure the success of BUSH is the people to participate in it. The speaker was Jay Young, SGA treasurer and organizer of the Beauti- fication Using Student Help project, speaking on Friday, October 6, 1978 — the day before the third semi-annual BUSH day, to encourge students to participate in the landscaping of the Ferguson Hall area. Much of the anticipated manpower failed to show up, but BUSH day was a success anyway, thanks to an enthusiastic core of students and special help provided by Registrar Ermon Foster. Due to BUSH ' s success in its first year, an a- nonymous Chestertown resident is going to do- nate $100.00 yearly to the project, and the Board of Visitors and Governors approved a $500.00 allocation from the Buildings and Grounds Committee to BUSH. At its last meet- ing of the 1977-78 academic year, the Board passed a resolution put forth by Princess Anne, Maryland attorney James Nelson, to commend the students who participated in the landscaping of the Hodson Hall area. 65 River Day Becomes Annual Event For the second year in a row, Washington Col- lege students took advantage of the College ' s proximity to the Chester River and took to the water for the second annual SGA sponsored River Day on September 17. The event drew a large crowd to the banks of the river near Truslow Boathouse for a raft race and a typical WC outing. Only homemade rafts, without motors, oars, or oarlocks, were permitted in the competition. Contraptions con- structed of inner tubes, lumber, fiber board, and less stable materials once again crossed the river. The race was similar to a circuit relay in that its object was for contestants to pick up a six-pack of beer on the opposite side and return to the boathouse. The first to make the crossing was rewarded with a keg of Heineken. This year the prize went to a boat manned by Jon Green, Tom Vach, and company. 66 Washington College President Joseph McLain confers an honorary degree on Convocation speaker James Coulter. Lee, Coulter Highlight Convocation Dateline: February 24, 1979 — Former Maryland Acting Governor Blair Lee, following his adage to disappear and shutup, received an honorary degree and rousing ap- plause this afternoon at Washington College ' s Birthday Convocation. Maryland Department of Natural Resources Secretary James B. Coulter was the guest speaker, but Blair Lee captured a great deal of attention with an impromptu talk before 300 spectators in the Daniel Z. Gibson Fine Arts Center. Mr. Coulter received the honorary degree of Doctor of Science while Mr. Lee received the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane letters. Asked if he would say a few words by Washington College President Joseph H. McLain, Blair Lee com- plied. Speaking with the sense of hu- mor and candor that may have be- come his trademark, Lee began by saying that he believed an immedi- ate past governor should disappear and shutup. I don ' t believe in sideline coaching. Governor Hughes is an able admini- strator, I have worked with Harry and have great faith in his ability. Addressing the Washington college constituency, he said I am very pleased and highly honored to be here. The antiquity, the quality of the teaching here, the illustrous ranks of your alumni all lend to the great- ness of this institution. Mr. Lee then concluded that as a member of the old guard, I intend to go off in a corner and be a dignified elder statesman. He left the podium amid lengthy applause. Secretary Coulter in his address called for Washington College to resist the bewitching attraction of new money that would lure it into the intellectual quagmire of environ- mental craftmanship. Instead I hope that the College will continue its dedication to the eternal task of teaching people to beware of falling into the trap of righteous infallibility; in short of teaching people to find the truth in the envoronment as with all other subjects. I hope that Washington college will teach the scientific method, not as an academic exer- cise, but as the foundation for thought processes that will enrich our state and the world. He ended his 20-minute talk stating the special relationship of Washing- ton College to the Chesapeake Bay should be a search for truth, a search that will over the centuries lead to a true understanding of the Bay as part of the human environment. For the Chesapeake Bay, truth is a special relationship worthy of the name that Washington College bears. Mr. Coulter was presented by Dean of the college, Garry E. Clarke, for the conferring of the honorary de- gree. His practical solutions to the real problems of our age have been indispensible to a society that is finally beginning to realize that our resources are not endless and indestructable, the citation read. Mr, H. Furlong Baldwin, President of the Mercantile Safe Deposit and Trust Company of Baltimore and a member of the Visitor and Gover- nors of Washington College, intro- duced Blair Lee at a time when Maryland was racked by political scandal, we were indeed fortunate that we had as Lieutenant Governor a dedicated, cofnpetent man to assume the position of acting Governor, Mr. Baldwin stated. For Mr. Lee, a graduate of Princeton, it was his third honorary degree. He had received previous degrees from Coppin State and the Capital Insti- tute of Technology in Kensington, Maryland. It was the first honorary degree for Mr. Coulter, and Oklahoma native and a graduate of the University 68 Preparing to come out in academic regalia before the convocation. Biology Department Chairman Dr. Gwynn helps fellow biologist Dr. Munson with his collar. Convocations have a long history at Wash- ington College. No one here can remember when the school first began to stage the affairs on the Saturday nearest to George Washington ' s birthday. It seems likely that the tradition for the speeches goes back a hundred years or more. The most visually impressive part of the Convocation is the academic regalia . During this procession of faculty members dressed in full academic costume, students are able to view the academic symbols and traditions of this college that they would otherwise not be able to see until the May Commencement. Any custom with such long-standing tradi- tion necessarily has evolved in several stylized rituals. Colleges and Universities in the United States, for example, conform in the colors of academic robes to distin- quish scholars ' fields of study. There is no such uniformity among European institu- tions where the custom of academic regalia was conceived. In 1895 the members of the American Council on Education convened at Columbia University to establish a uniformed and nationally accepted code. White designates arts, letters, and the humanities. Drab is the color of business administration. The other colors are: copper for economics; light blue for education; brown for the fine arts, crimson for journalism; purple for law; lemon for library science; green for medi- cine; pink for music ; dark blue for philo- sophy; sage green for physical education; peacock blue for public administration; salmon pink for public health; gold for science; citron for social science; and scarlet for theology. There is also agreement concerning the sym- bolism of the gown itself. Long, pointed sleeves signify the gown of a scholar with a Bachelor ' s degree. Oblong sleeves are part of the Master ' s gown. A Doctoral gown has bell-shaped sleeves. It may be trimmed down the front with black velvet or in a color sym- bolic of the PH.d ' s field of study. The George Washington Convocation has developed some sybolism unique to Wash- ington College. An observer asks, What is the registrar doing with a battleaxe? The answer is that it is not a battleaxe; it ' s the mace traditionally carried by the Marshall of the Academic Procession. From its medieval function as a war club to its fourteenth cen- tury use as a ceremonial device by royal sergeants-at-arms in France and England, it has been bequeathed to the scholars. The Washington College mace, donated in the 1950 ' s by architect Henry Powell Hop- kins, is adorned with engravings of the seal of the College and of Kent County, a sil- houette of George Washington ' s head and Washington ' s coat of arms. A second ceremonial trapping is the presi- dential chain worn on this occasion by Dr. McLain. Worked in sterling silver, the links of the Chain are engraved with the names of former Washington College presidents and the dates of their tenure. The chain supports a medallion engraved with a portrait of Washington College founder William Smith, D.D. The other side of the medallion reveals the familiar college seal. 69 Ball Proves Financial, Social Success The Washington College Birthday Ball was originated in 1965 to add a major social event to the Washington Birthday Weekend celebra- tions, according to, Vice President for Devel- opment George Hayward, whose office handles the event and administers the profits which go to the Washington College Scholarship Fund. The Ball usually makes $1500 to $2000 for the fund through patrons who often contribute $25 or more to the school ' s scholarship program. Over 800 people attended this year ' s Ball, which once again featured the music of the Lester Lanin Orchestra. Over half of those who attended are students and alumni of the College. Members of the faculty, staff, friends of the College and a number of Eastern Shore resi- dents also help to make the Ball a financial and social success each year. The early afternoon Convocation, which brought Professors Nate Smith and Richard Brown out in academic regalia, (above left) cele- brates the school ' s history as a learning institution. The late evening Ball offers a social outlet thai even gets the old folks dancing. Vice President for Development George Hay- ward said, after the 1979 celebration of the traditional highlight of the College ' s celebra- tion of Washington ' s birthday, it might be wise to give some thought to changing the nature of the Ball. Specifically, Hayward suggested that the Ball be made into a buffet dinner and dance with an open bar. It might provide a more controlled way to manage the dance and bring in a profit, said Hayward. He admitted, however, that on the other hand, that might exclude some people who now go. Although the figures for this year ' s affair show a profit, Hayward said, there ' s a feeling among those of us who work on it that we ought to do something to make it more profi- table for the College. My concerns for the Ball are not really nega- tive, Hayward added, (although he said that the Ball has unfortunately become like a ' black tie tailgate party, ' ) It just seems that if we are going to do that much work, we ought to make it pay off. Hayward Discusses Ball ' s Future The success of the October 21 Homecoming is an example of what can happen when students, faculty, alumni, and the people of Chestertown work together. This year ' s event featured a dance with the Grand Junction booked for entertainment as well as an Alumni banquet and dance where Jazz Jonson, a local combo, provided the music. Last year ' s attempt to revive the tradition of having a Homecoming queen was dropped for the 1978 event since the organizers of the Homecoming felt that the competition among women was previously generated only by a pro- mise of a cash prize to the winner — an attitude that the planners of the affair did not want to encourage this year. (In 1977 the honor went to Cindi Patchen, an alumna of 1978 and cur- rently the assistant to Penny Fall in the Athle- tic Department.) The $150 that otherwise would have gone to the queen went to award the best entries in the float competition, with the top prize going to the Sigs for their Papal Procession. Another novelty this year was seen in Reference Librarian Jeff Chaffin ' s attempt to organize the Five Mile Faculty run, an open invitation to faculty, students, alumni, and friends of the college. Although conflicting athletic schedules kept the competition from being as fierce as it might have been, Chaffin is hopeful that the tradition will take root. Homecoming Brings Together College And Community The Sigs ' contingent wins top honors at the Homecoming Parade (opposite page). The Caroline Second Floor Clone-mobile, a satiric float in honor of the queen, and the Kent County High Marching band join in the fun. 73 Speakers Broaden Student Interests Three groups. The William James Forum, the Sophie Kerr Committee, and the College Lecture Series, have brought several speakers to campus this year. The William James Forum, named for the philosopher-brother of novelist Henry James, presented two programs in memory of the late Dr. Norman James who died suddenly last year, and brought score of lecturers to Hynson Lounge to speak on such topics as psychology, sociology, politics, and economics. Apollo 1 1 astronaut Michael Collins, pictured below with Forum Presi- dent Bob Akeson was one of the featured speakers. The Sophie Kerr Committee brought famed beat poet Allen Ginsberg, as well as his companion Peter Orlovsky (both pictured here) and other writers including Lenny Michaels, and John Barth. The Lecture Series, headed by Karen Smith, featured speakers on such topics of popular interest as aerobic dancing, survival, rape prevention, and treatment of the emo- tionally disturbed.

Concert Series Brings Culture To Campus n .s i f Members of the Dallas Ballet troupe in the Surprise Symphony. The Julliard Quartet: Violinists Earl Carlyss and Robert Mann, cellist Joel Krosnick and violist Samuel Rhodes. Opportunities for cultural enrichment abound at Washington College free (in most cases) for the takmg. The College Concert Series, largely funded through the generous patronage of local friends of the College, brought such groups as the Julliard Quartet. Pianist Ruth McCabe. singer Ella Charleston, and the Dallas Ballet to campus. The series was also responsible for bringing to the school Herbert and Eva Nelson, known internationally as Mr. and Mrs. Caberet (pictured above in inset on pieces. and exhibit from The Anatomy of Artwork. presented here by the Baltimore Museum of Art in April.) The visual arts are not neglected, either. Sev- eral exhibitions have been held in Gibson Fine Arts Center, including the show by the art professors which featured such works as Ibis (left) by Prof. Sue Tessem. In late April senior art students Jean Dixon, Molly Scott, and Peggy Krause also displayed their work. Washington College Players Offer Diversified Entertainment Drama has a small but hard-core following at WC among students who regularly attend plays at The Arena and Folger ' s in D.C. and The Mechanic and Center Sate in Baltimore. For- tunately, several excellent performances are held here each year by the W.C. Players, under the direction of Dr. Timothy Maloney.

' It ' s not every day that we get to see a demonstration of one student ' s mastery in a particular E epartment. Yet, last week-end ' s presentation of Terrence McNally ' s Ravensoodwas for its direc- tor Victoria Gadsden, who staged it as a senior project, a virtual show-and-tell of what I learned about drama at Washington College. ' ' Apparently Gadsden has learned a lot. Enough elementary dramatic mathematics to realize that an ex- cellent setting, good casting, and well- paced action all add up to one well- delivered performance. (Make that two well-delivered performances.) Gadsden has the formula down pat. Perhaps more so than McNally. The changes she made in the script made it more satisfying than the original. The script calls for a bare stage with bright light to simulate the outdoors. This production goes one step beyond that — clear out to the lawn of Tawes Theater. Simple but elegant wicker fur- niture, a la courtesy the Glass Swan Gift Shop, creates the impression of Ravenswood.

It is in these surroundings that the ubiquitous Dr. Jason Pepper, M.D. operates. Actually, this doctor doesn ' t operate. Confined to a wheelchair after his lirst wife pushed him down a shqpt but lethal flight of stairs backstage; at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, he just wheels around this clinic for couples and gives the impression of controlling all the crazies around him through some sort of cahn but vital knowledge. Don ' t be too hard on the first Mrs. Pepper, though. We unders- tand that she crippled her husband in an act of self-defense. He was trying to kill her. 5K n )o;ica y. Apparently, the Peppers were not the only homicidal couple. Meet Mr. and Mrs. Scupp; they ' ve been trying to kill each other for years. With lawn mowers and golf carts, yet. Then, in what must be a typical day at the clinic, we meet the Pitts. They are. A Hollywood couple torn by professional jealousy and the piercing (literally) arguments between THE actor Roy Pitt and his overwhelm- ingly Jewish-American-Princess wife THE April James. _ The cast is rounded out by third cou- ple Hiram Spane and Francis Tear, two male residents of Ravenswood who are ■admittedly permanent and about whom any conjectures may well be thie. The director made another altera- tion in the script that shows a stroke of genius. Somehow in the translation from the 1975 Broadway production, the very German, very male, and prooaoiy burly Otto, Pepper ' s personal lackey, got changed into Otta, the doctor ' s per- sonal masseause. Not quite glamourous, but stri king enough in her high black leather boots and extremely short black skirt to make us think that any private conjectures we hold about her could well be true, too. These innovations in the script are two examples of how well Gadsden got down both the meaning and the execu- tion of the script. We ' ve already talked about the technical aspects: staging the play outdoors was an excellent move, and one that we hope will encourage more outside presentations. The casting was good. Now let ' s talk about the acting. It was for the most part that type of acting that conjures up a multitude of favorable adjectives: clear, crisp, tight, smooth, to name a few. For ex- ample, Nick Nappo, as Pepper, had the best seat in the house, and from this position gave a strong perfoirance that gave credibility to his role at the center of the action. Nappo carried through the performance with this strange little smile that let us know he is in full- control here, omniscient, the very essence of Pepper. As Otta, Laurel Snode has a difficult role, but she carries it off well. She has developed an effective command of pidginGerman, the kind of command that is just good enough without soun- ding fabricated. Both Nappo and Snode are excellent, but they are outmatched by John D ' Amico as Spane, of the Newport Spanes. When he meets Mrs. Scupp, he announces I don ' t think we ' ve been introduced. Bitch. When he learns she ' s Harry ' s wife he apologizes, I ' m sorry, you ' re not a bitch, and I ' m only a bitch when I ' ve got a head on me like this one. (pun probably intended) He ' s right, he plays the part of one of the resident fairies through with the ap- propriate bitchiness. His acting is refreshing, and he handles his lines and gestures marvelously. After a one-year drought during which D ' Amico was away from Washington college to study in London, it is, indeed good to welcome him back in what may have been his most well-done parts to date. DAmico was the perfect foil for Peter Zekonis ' Francis Tear. Although Zekonis ' delivery may have lost some vitality in rehearsal, his acting was precise in both shows. Most of the acting was good but m comparison with the big three, the others parts seem less noteworthy, although two up and coming ac- tresses should be mentioned here. Marti Discherl does a bitchy AprU James. That ' s a compliment. She plays the little spoiled darling of the kvetch- set weU; however, we ' d like to see her develop a little more control of her pac- ing. We also felt that Mandy Fansler lacked something in comparison with the rest of the cast. Maybe a little urgency was missing in expression. It will, however, be interesting to watch her develop and we ' re looking forward to seeing her in future productions. The closing performance lacked some of the vitality of the opening. Both shows, however, had a certain force that made up for some of the faltering in the Sunday performance. Ravenswood worked as comedy. It made us laugh. More than that, it left us sitting there on our copies of The Kent County News spread over the bare ground hungry for more after the play ended. The hour passed too quickly. The Student Government promoted NRBQ as the big event of the year. Lead guitarist from Appalosa, warming up.

IFraternities And Sororitiesi SPECIAL TO THE PEGASUS Jateline: 22 January 1966 :HESTERT0WN, MD. — Fraternities and soror-l tties on the campus at Washington College werel granted a new lease on life today when the Board I Df Visitors and Governors of the college, meetingi o act on a recommendation that they be abo- ished, voted to allow the organizations to remain. The decision came as the culmination of approxi- Imately three years of study of the role of Greek- lletter organizations on the Eastern Shore campus. iThe first study was made by a committee of mem-l Ibers of the Board, the student body, the faculty, land the Student Deans, whose responsibility was! Ito study the social life here and to make sugges-| Itions for its improvement. Among the committee ' s conclusion was a unani- Imous recommendation that the four fraternitiesl land three sororities be eliminated, on the groundsl Ithat they inhibit the attainment of all-college ! Ispirit and that they are in effect divisive in the! Isocial and academic life of the college. The Board,! ■ however, referred it to a sub-committee of its! Imembers, who recommended that no action bel Jtaken until January 1966, during which time a| [further investigation could be made. The final decision came today when the Visitors! and Governors met at Washington College, voted! by secret ballot, and announced that, although |it recognizes the validity of some of the crit- icism which has been directed toward fraternities land sororities, its decision is to permit these lorganizations to continue to exist on this campus. [According to Clifton M. Millet;, chairman of Ithe Board of Visitors and Governors, however, Ithe status of the Greek-letter organizations on the campus will be subject to review from time to time. Iwhen the decision came today, most of the Icollege ' s 600 students were away from the cam- Ipus, enjoying a one-week vacation between [semesters. The decision most directly effects the [approximately 170 active fraternity and sorority Imembers and an anticipated 60 or more students Iwho will become pledges to fraternities in the spring. THE ALPHA PI SORORITY THE ZETA BETA ALPHA SORORITY s THE ALPHA CHI OMICRON SORORITY 84 THE LAMBDA PI DELTA FRATERNITY THE KAPPA ALPHA FRATERNITY The debate on the institution of Greek-letter organizations did not entirely die when their continued existence was insured by a decision of the Board of Visitors and Governors thirteen years ago. The function of fraternities and sor- orities on a campus with a student body of only about 750 remains a popular topic of discussion. It is now evident, however, that these social fraternities will remain — for better or worse. In fact national observers believe that since the movie ANIMAL HOUSE has won acclaim throughout the country, fraternities are more popular than ever, after a decline in member- ship experienced during the late sixties and early seventies. In many ways, these social organizations con- tribute significantly to campus life. This was made evident in a bizarre way through the Sig (Phi Sigma Kappa) hosted Halloween Party in the basement of East Hall. This fraternity also achieved recognition through its first place entry in the Homecoming Parade. The Zeta Sorority hosts the Christmas Dance each year; Casino Night hosted by the Alpha Chis is an annual highlight on the winter calendar, and the Alpha Pi sorority continues to benefit the National Arthritis Foundation through their annual kidnapping of Prominent Campus personalities. The Kappa Alpha Fraternity also seemed to be on a charity drive this year as the KAs organi- zed not only a Christmas party for local under- privileged children, but also participated in the annual March of Dimes Walk-a-thon. The roster of social fraternities is completed by by Lambdas and the Thetas. This winter the status of the Lambdas was in jeopardy due to several incidence that had damaged West Hall, their residence, but they weathered their peri- od on probation and came back with a Lambda Liberation Party. The national organization to which the Theta Chi Fraternity belongs has over 50,000 mem- bers, making the Thetas part of the nation ' s most popular fraternity. 85 mtL 86 LI BE PATIO Al PAf Tr 5AT.

Publications A Commentary by Little Annie Fannie Hoochl«iss All seriousness aside, the deplorable state of the publications at Washington College can no longer escape comment! It ' s true that this yearbook is the product of a dedicated and efficient staff headed by Verna Wilkins. It ' s equally true that the ELM pro- duced in the past two years by Bonnie Nelle Duncan has, in the opinion of many students and faculty, surpassed any newspaper ever printed here for accuracy and readibility. Peter Zekonis and Sue Donelian have put over sever- al excellent BROADSIDES, and Victoria Gadsden, Joanne Ahearn, Roger Rebetsky, and Sam Jastremski have produced a series of WASHINGTON COLLEGE REVIEWS that are superior to any we ' ve seen in a long time. Yet, the respectability of all these fine publica- tions cannot erase the fault that shames all of us who consider ourselves journalists. Washington College does not have the one thing that is essential to the smooth operation of a liberal arts college: a good, old-fashioned, muckraking, underground newspaper. It ' s been over a year since an issue of the CRAB appear- ed to keep administrators in their place with the biting satire of such writers as V.D. Slitz, Pat- ty McPlease, and Bushrod Spuck (an example of whose writing appears on the opposite page.) And if some of us weren ' t willing to take the bull by the horns, so to speak, this condition could go on forever. Fortunately, three seniors-to-be, yours truly in- cluded, who uphold the high principles of yel- low journalism have dedicated themselves to re-establishing the CRAB in order to watchdog the standards of our institution, reorganize the priorities of the liberal arts tradition, and make life miserable for college presidents, snackbar proprietors, maintenance workers, and others who lack respect for truth, justice, and the American Way. (See you in September). ■jjIQj H ' i 1 ii t L ' - ?s? Kf i a A solitary figure in the Buntagon, College President Dr. McLain con t ' mDlates the future of Washington College McLain prescribes college growth Washington College President foresees increased enrollment to 10,000 in five years by BUSHROD SPUCK Assistant Editor In astartling announcement made before the Board of Visitors and Gover- nors, Washington College President Joe McLain reversed his previous stand on growth of the college and unveiled plans to enlarge enrollment to ten thou- sand during the next five years. The plan includes the purchase of Kent County as well as the construction of vast additional dormitories, laboratories, classrooms, plus a 60,000 seat lacrosse stadium. Recruitment will also be stepped up to lure high school students here. Measures include expanding the public relations staff to six, increased scholar- ship promises, and establishment of a public transit system to link the college with centers of population such as RockHall, Galena, Pomona, Betterton, and Gill Airport. In light of the financial instability of Washington College, as well as other small liberal arts colleges throughout the country, McLain indicated that he plans to pull the stops on growth to turn around declining endowments and prestige. Funding for the project will be pro- vided by loans from the Federal government, the state, and Martin Kabat; revenue from the Daniel Z. Gib- son Fine Arts Center, which will be leased out as a family seafood restaurant, and Minta Martin Dor- mitory which McLain hopes, with the cooperation of the residents, to convert into a brothel. The curriculum, McLain asserted, will remain fundamentally the same, but with someminor changes. The Col- lege will drop the Departments of Psychology, Drama, Music, English, Philosophy, Sociology, Foreign Languages, Political Science, an- dHistory; and instate the Departments of Physical Education, Business Management, Chemical Engineering, Administration, Biophysics, Motel Management, and Army ROTC McLain said that the changes would attract big bucks and at the same time increase the quality of education here. Day ' s true identity revealed Elm reporters have learned from documents and other reliable sources that Bob Day is in fact world-famous poet Rod McKuen. Envelopes addressed to Day, sent from Putnam and Sons Publishing Company, were opened in a routine check by the El m staff to ascertain how much money Day was reallyearning from his book, The Last Cattle Drive. Inside, however, letters were found to be addressed to Rod McKuen, and checks were disproportionately high for the modest circulation of Day ' s first published novel. The Elm, refuses to interview Day personally due to his his treatment of female interviewers, and so submitted these written questions to Day, to which he responded: Elm: Mr. Day, are you in fact Rod McKuen? Day: I won ' t tell you, but Nabokov ' s birthday party this year is on the 23rd of April. Elm: Did you in fact write The Last Cattle Drive to lend credence to your lover? Day: I wrote Cattle Drive to— to il- luminate the penumbra of your eyes, softly— smooth, like a woman ' s wrist. Elm: Mr. Day, please... Day: Call me Rod. ■ Elm: Mr. Day. may I remind you that this is a written interview, and I am in fact not even in your office. Day: Ahh,hah, hah. 89 Year ' Round At WC IN THE BEGINNING, there is orientation week which brings new and returning students to- gether with such activities as volleyball (above) and the freshman picnic at Turners Creek (below, with freshmen Emily Kaufman, Lynn Lewis, and Knight Malone in the foreground.) And, of course, no freshman orientation could be complete without the annual welcome from Washington College President Dr. Joseph McLain (right). . . . what if I ' m 60 years old and not married, all alone in a furn- ished room with pee stains on my underwear and everybody else is married!

Autumn does not come haphazardly to Ches- tertown. Even after the getting to know you period of the first few weeks of school wears off, such annual events as River Day, and the Sigs ' Halloween Party make the fall a special time of the year here. The crew of the S.S.EETME (left) may be waterlogged, but they look like they are having a good time at River Day. Aside from offering its own unique social outlets, the autumn is the season that gets us all back into the daily rou- tine of taking the red brick path to classes, as do Lisa Bailey and Sally Dimsdale below. And Dicke Gray and friend find that lunch in the cafeteria is a fixed part of the rou- tine just as is the daily mid-day rush to the mailboxes. nW0 ' ' :f r:i, autumn i Year ' Round At WC l x t sct lw t B gL TV jJs - ' ' ' ' - ' ' rt B ' r v .? v , 0 ' - ' ?

Winter at Washington College is a season of beautiful pictures such as that of the long view of the campus on the opposite page or of the ice on West Hall fire escape (left). Blizzard conditions closed school for two days and gave us a winter playground to enjoy. Some preferred to use the long afternoons to study, or to do more creative things — like roller skating down the second floor of Minta Martin. Year Round At WC A spring thaw means slush traveling. Magnolia blossoms on the library terrace remind us of the season. A sign of spring is the warm weather that brings students out of dorms, as well as the BUSH project and the annual College Republican Blood Donor Drive, to which Julie Wheeler and Elizabeth Gowen contribute, below. f E.J ' j Signs Of Spring You know its nearly the end of the school year when the summer sun brings the girls out on pursuit of the perfect tan.

Countdown to Summer Begins aUEK l kJ} :m ..:::;3b«p««« ' ' ? i . aws !;: '  , N Kent County News Photo Oh, Where Are The Streakers Of Y ester Year? One of Washington College ' s firmest traditions was exhibited again this May Day when dozens of students took off their clothes as soon as the sun went down and streaked through the fire- lane and out on to Route 213. The evening offered some interesting sights such as the Chinese Fire Drill outside of Middle Hall and the superb skateboard hand-standing by Shawn Harmon, but the night proved un- eventful as far as the policemen stationed all over campus were concerned. After an hour or so of standing at the ready to watch naked people, most of us were ready to call it a night and to decide that in most cases it was no big thing. On this date a year ago, Washington College earned frontpage headlines internationally when sophomore Peter Abronski was arrested for in- decent exposure. At that time, no one came for- ward with any information as to how the streak tradition got started here, and the press treated the event as one of those rituals whose origins is cloaked in mystery. Professor of English Bennett Lamond took credit this year for having started the tradition of observing May Day with some of his classes. He stated that he no longer joins in the celebra- tion since it has lost its literary meaning, however. SENIORS % One Last Time Registration for the final semester assumes another dimension for most seniors. Some savor the finality of the moment, while others make sure credits are in order and requirements ful- filled.

Wright Stratford 6, Birches, Turnersville, NJ. 08012 Besides the actual ceremony, graduation , week-end is filled with many activities for [ seniors, their families and friends, and for the I faculty alike. For alumni, it is a time of re- I union with old friends and faculty. For family, I graduation is special celebration where the I culmination of four long years of support is }- symbolized in a diploma. But for seniors, it is not only a time of festivity but also of reflec- tion as the years at Washington College come to an end. Throughout these years it is easy to lose sight of one ' s goals. Somehow the earnest- ness and novelty of freshman year fades, leav- ing behind a residue of either self-determina- tion or simple resignation. Seniors are aware of the constant disappointments that arise during the course of a college career. How- ever, at graduation, such feelings of particular disappointments are replaced by a sense of achievement. An afternoon barbecue with bluegrass entertainment, given as much fo parents and alumni as for seniors, initiates graduation weetcend. ' ' .. ' sHard work and diligence pay off as seniors are publically acknowledged during the graduation ceremony. Such public recognition gratifies the deserving student. ' O But after the ceremony is completed, after the excitement fades, new perplexing thoughts loom up. Now that the goals of four years have been met, it is necessary to establish new ones. The accolades received in college J do not always assure success. Although the j credentials earned can be used to great advantage, they must be accompanied by continued hard work. After preparing for this work in college, graduation celebrates the senior ' s readiness to undertake it. To some students, commencement is a mere formality. To others, it is an accomplishment to be taken seriously. But for all it is another beginning. Whether this beginning includes continuing in school or finding a job, each senior is faced with the challenge of establish- ing himself once again. ' ' : ? - 1 .i SSS ' Besides graduation, the spring in- cludes other signs of renewed ac- tivity. For underclassmen, as for seniors, the semester abounds in academic pressures and usual course hassles which intensify as the end approaches. Relief is found as classes are held outside. In addition to academics, students faced another worry during the semester; with the future closing of the hill dorms, rooming became a controvertial issue. What awaited in the next year was still unsettled in May. , u In the last few weeks of school, students patiently awaited the late spring. When it hit, they found time to enjoy intermural softball or just basking in the sun. Finally there was the packing up, a rather anti- climatic end to the year as one by one the rooms were emptied. Although the leave was not so final for returning underclassmen, for seniors, the process was complete. After four years of gathering a momentum, the achievement was visible. But the momentum subsided neither on graduation day nor on the last day of finals. For the under- graduate, it will continue in the following semester, while for the graduate, it will continue in the thankless pursuit of employment.
