EDWIN D ETHERINGTON PRESIDENT, WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY, 1967 I971 WESLEYAN 70 Your Wesleyan Class of 1970 is part of a generation which had tried to tell offa whole nation. In that act, some of you have been presumptuous. But you have also been mostly honest-telling it as you see it. . . as you think it ought to be. And in that honest if strident effort, your generation has been a catalyst of needed change. We have seen change in your time at Wesleyan. Co-educotion. University reoch-out to its community. More flexible curriculum. More honest and open relationships between the sexes-between the rocekbetween the gen- erotions-omd among the constituences of a campus community. 25 E D U C A T I O N UNIVERSITIES From Amex to Academe Businessmen today readily recognize that a good university executive may have the makings of a topliight cor- poration omcer-and universities like- wise know that a learned business leader may be just the man to head up a col- ETHERINGTON Turn about is fair play. 26 In time you will believe, if you do not now, That reason has on important place in the change process. But in your time you have reminded us that feeling isofor young people in every generationofhe principal criterion for deciding what is right and what is not. But I ask this of you: Do not let dreams and slogans become substituies for reality and thought. HYou gotta have a dream . . . But you also have to make the dream come true. Wuhai $un You attended college during The years when students called the Nation's institutions to Trial. Your senior yeorewhich ended in a strike against specific iniusficiesewos the climax point of a period of mos- sive discontent wifh things as They are. And you leave college in the first wave of people who must accept the responsibility for emotional and institutional repair in the Nation. You are Up to the challenge. But remember this: The jury is out on youenof iust on the institutions of our society. If is out on you becauseenow-you are the establishment. That is something to think cuboufeond nothing to shout about.

He was a college graduate in I970 when there were no iobs available for anyone. As a result of such inopportuneness he did not enter into the outside world with a profound sense of optimism. His four years of relevant Wesleyan education had been conducted during prosperity; now here it was time for a depression. AII Ernest Satch knew about depressions came from his twelth grade American Histo- ry class: they last twelve years and they lead to wars. Ernest tig- urecI that at the end of twelve years he would not be eligible for the draft, but he would not exactly be a young bright-eyed college graduate ready to make his mark in the world either. In other words, his time would be post. In a sense, his time already was past. Here he was just turned twenty-two, just graduated from a high class Eastern establishment liberal arts college, and apple selling was the only career field with openings. On the day of his graduation Ernest discussed the situation with a visit- ing uncle who had lived through the 1930's. I'Depressionehell, said Uncle Wilbur Satch, I was a bum during prosperity . These words inspired Ernest to give some thought to his college career. Truly, he could not say that he had accomplished much. This was especially disheartening because Wesleyan had given him a full measure of opportunity. It had given him a four year sen- tence, it had surrounded him with cinder block walls, and it had provided him with an abundance of interminable hours when there was absolutely nothing to do. In similar circumstances Eldridge Cleaver, Robert Stroud, and Malcolm X had educated themselves and written voluminously. These men were the ex- emplary products of the prison theory of education, to which every maior university in the country subscribes: when you give them four years with absolutely nothing to do, they will get educated. Ernest himself was an admirer of the books, tunes, and philosophies of such men as Malcolm, Eldridge, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Jean Genet, and Tim Leary, because he felt that he was in the same cell with these renowned contemporary heroes. Unfortunately he was not quite so exemplary. At times he was downright lazy. At college Ernest had learned to be sat- isfied with a can of Piels, Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison , and a vague yearning for the distinction that eluded him. In a sense he was following in Uncle Wilbur's footsteps, since the unoc- cupied life which he chose during prosperity would merge com- fortably with the unemployable status that depression was about to bestow on him.

All the same, the vague yearning for distinction called out to be fulfilled. Needless to say this did not put Ernest entirely at his ease. Wesleyan had prepared him to cope with such feelings during prosperity, at which time the national mood was capable of convincing the citizenry that they were accomplishing something useful. Indeed, Er- nest had learned the value of this type of mentality at the feet of the masters; he had seen it applied by Wesleyan deans and presidents who turned over faster than you could learn their names, and who paused only to congratu- late themselves on the fine service which they had rendered to education before they moved on to even greater accomplishments. Unfortunately such services could be expected to tarnish in the harsh light of the depression, when the administrators looked back and saw that their positions had been abolished, their pictures removed, and their places of residence uncommemorated. Ernest wanted something he could look back on. As he sipped beer with Uncle Wilbur and mulled over the problem on that sunny graduation day, Ernest's brow began to wrinkle and his eyes began to light up. There had, he recalled, been one night when Wesleyan had ac- tually functioned with distinction, one night when all the bureaucrats, carpetbaggers, and rotating deans had gone home early to read over their certificates for meritous service. That was the night after the fire bombing of Downey House, when students mounted all night vigils to police the university properties. On that night, the students held the whip hands; they were responsible for Wesleyan's continuation. Ernest had risen to the occasion and volunteered to watch the science center till dawn. I'm going over there with a case of beer and a rifle,ll he said, and I'll take care of the ioint.ll Of course this plan was overruled; Ernest's rations were limited to a six-pack and a baseball bat. Nevertheless in the morning the science center was still standing, and in the evening it was bigger still. In four years it had tripled in size. Ernest could see that this thing was no fluke, and a tear came to his eye at graduation when he thought back on his years at Wesleyan, and on how much the size of the science center had increased in that time. Yes, he had accomplished, yes, he had achieved, and yes, he had no bananas, he had only apples today. Ted Reed g'?,; .- ...

Reynolds Professor of Philosophy, Wesleyan Alumnus, 40 WESLEYAN 70 1969-70 at Wesleyan was the year of the end of an era that never was. President Etherington, for example, es- tablished co-education, but never saw its first freshman class. The interlude didn't even cover a full generation. Why? The answer, I think, lies in three main problems of Ameri- can societyekilling, racing , and praying. Each of these cut sharply at the Etherington will, and left it wounded-and the college floundering. The military recruitment issue was a hangover from the previous year. Everyone agreed that violence and deceit are anathema to an academic community, but not everyone agreed that recruitment for them, under university auspices, by military and espionage agencies, was intolerable. The University, officially, tried to persuade the community that restriction on recruitment for killing and deceit is a violation of academic freedom. An increasing minority of students and faculty said no . By December it became clear that to fail to enforce his decision would mark Mr. Etherington as an irresolute administrator but to enforce it would result in the dismissal of perhaps scores of peopleea debacle which the administration itself could not survive. In February the president chose to go on to national service, and an- nounced himself as a candidate for the US. Senate. While Mr. Etherington was going, those who remained behind, however, were going places. Effectively, the minority had stopped, in practice it not in policy, the University's hospi- tality to recruiters for the armed services and the C.I.A. Racing. The year began with further Black demands. There was, indeed, what can only be called racial recruit- ment, by both Blacks and Whites. We fell into the ob- scenity of talking about the White and the Black communi- ties. Tensions mounted to fightings and burn-outs, com- plicated by the issue of town-and-gown drug traffic, and fringed with gun-fire at a dean and bomb-fire on three campus buildings. President Nixon's venture into Cambodia about then quite changed everything. Left and right, Black and White , pole and counterpole-there was a mighty unity in the demand that the universities politicize themselves against political prisoners, immoral war, and university complicity in the war machine. Though there was a facade of institutional neutrality, the beat of the moral drummer was stirring the corporation's soul, and even its iellied back-bones. We learned that the surest way to provide free passage for evil is to silence and prostrate our institutions in front of it. Of institutions, as of individuals, it holds that if you are not part of the solution of political evils, then youare part of the evil. Neutrality is the surest way to com- plicity and death. Students who had only recently been disclaiming any con- cern for the traffic in candied drugs to school children, were signing up, in scores, to stay the summer in Middletown, to give breakfast food to the kiddies the government had dropped. And the neutral m University was matching them dollar for dollar. 43 44 w Killing and l'racing -two problems that somehow got alleviated together . . . . and too bad that Ted didn't get in on the overcoming. The other problemepraying. Finally, at the end of the year, the long-shunted issue of the University Ministry came before the Faculty, and had yet to get into the mix of the new dimension of freedom that loomed in the communiversity. Embarassing in- deed was the spotlight on three dark corners of Uni- versity policy and practice: 1. There was a religious test for three positions on the Wesleyan staff-to be a member of the staff of the University Ministry one had to be either a Protestant, a Catholic or a Jew. 2. The University was involved in complicity with the Internal Revenue Service in religious dis- crimination on salary-tax practices, so that some members of the staff received their salaries from Wesleyan tax-free while colleagues did not. 3. The University made, tby its appointment policyl col- leagues of faculty people who could not publish cooperatively without the imprimatur of a religious functionary. Killing, racing,' and praying. Slowly but surely the University was making its way to humanity, and academic autonomy, dignity and integrity-up from violence and all its trappings, and out from the mad dreams of national, racial, and religious imperialism. Though the hair of the seventies may return to the butch, that of the sixties was long enough to give some tremendous power. Never again will war and oppression and troikalism strut their arrogant powers on the Wesleyan campuswr, hopefully, as far as Wesleyan men can affect it, ever again be taken for granted in the American ethos. As David Broder of the Washington Post has so well said tMIDDLETOWN PRESS, June 24, i970i, llThe university exists only so long as no one fences off the territory on which a scholar's mind may roam . . . When the universities become fenced off territory for military, racial, and religious recruitment, they mock the spirit of freedom, and die a traitor's death. The spirit of security clearance, whether it be for state or race or creed, is deadening to the life of the mind. Out must go the minions of death and race and sect, and open must be the path to MAN. The universities are charged to keep it so. Let Wesleyan continue to open the path and lead the march. I Paul A.

For 1970 the answer ise when he is a non-student, i.e. when he conforms more to images of a non-acodemic Hcounter-cul- ture them to the heretofore accepted patterns of university ways and means. The widespread strike of youth against the Nixon administration's foreign policy and its silent mo- iority support in May of 1970 made manifest the openness of university populations to concerns TH E NON-STUDENT beyond the campus; but evidences from point- bedoubed, patched jeans to every variety of hirsute adornment had already matched the college en- rollee to a dropped-out many wandering toward country communes. In response to cries for renewed patriotism come red, white, and blue pocket patches and flag-stutfs in shirts and honkerchiefs. Replying to demands for law and order were l'rip-otts , untroubled by the conscience of convention, of everything from left- 57 over table wine in East College through uncounted tumblers and cups in West College to the Douglas cannon, absolute repudiation of the residence halls secretariat in their struggle against hot-plutes and refrigerators, pot smoked, acid dropped, and coeds Hbolled . To answer charges of creating a generation gap, professors were called by their first names, and country and western buffs followed old-time tidcllers and gospel singers. In 1970 the Wesleyan experience and its counter- part here and there were not productive of the best years of my life , but, rather, of identity crises, of the abandonment of high-school-prompted directions, of reaction to paperwork and week- by-week classroom tasks as meaningless. The ex- pectation that four years would be dedicated to fitting one for 0 place in society had been trans- muted into a generalized urge to get away from it all, into a particularizecl search for selfhood in and through and beyond roles, irrespective of, even disrespectful to, achievement. And this, almost all of this, I say, is truth-giving in a volue-talsitying world. This, to me, is a student generation helI-bent-on salvation.

Her change like your own necessitated Growing pains which are not yet over. To you these four years have not been spent in quiet academic shades. Your garb on Graduation Day well symbolized the various changes in American colleges during these hectic years. You have listened to prophets, seers, philosophers and demogogues telling about your country's shabby treatment of minority groups and her mistakes in in- ternational policy. You yourselves have thought it is high time we ceased being a wet nurse to all the troubled coun- tries of the For East. Clomorous calamity speakers have deafened you with their prophecies of doom. Some of them want to overthrow everything we have done and everything we are as a notion. Their cries have been persistent and I marvel at the patience you have shown in listening to them. To me America is still the hope of the world. In my lifetime I have seen so many changes-trom the abolition of poor houses to the introduction of Medicare-that I know the changes you want can be brought about without upsetting our machinery of government. The process may be slow and the way may be long but that is the price we have to pay for Democracy. This price helps us to avoid the ghastly terrors of Dictatorship. Your live interest in public affairs is the most heartening thing I have ever seen in our American Colleges and Universities. There are still many things to be done and your generation can help us do them.

L Gordon Fain WESLEYAN 70 The trial of Bobby Seale is the best possi- ble point of departure for a new upsurge of white support for block liberation. If ours was lthe political trial of the century,' the trial of Bobby Seole is the most impor- tant trial of a black man in American histo- ry. The government is hoping that one bolt of electricity will kill the spirit in all of us. By our deeds each day we determine what role, if any, we will have in the world's fu- ture. What we have and have not done for Bobby, as for Vietnam, measures exactly our stature in the new world being created. We will be judged by our deeds. Tom Hayden We went to New Haven on May Day because the systematic government attempt to exterminate the Black Panthers had become too obvious for us to ig- nore. The accumulation of government crimes neces- sitated our protest. In the summer of 1969 the Pan- thers had convened a United Front Against Fascism conference to prepare the American left for the onslaught of political repression they saw ahead. Al- though we were aware of the special, brutal repres- sion inflicted on blacks and, in particular, the Pan- thers, we were confused about how to react. The white movement was preoccupied with the threat of co-optation, and few of us took seriously the specter of fascism. But in ten months the government and police had murdered Mark Clark and Fred Hampton, arrested and tried seven leaders of the anti-wor movement on conspiracy charges, bound and gagged Bobby Seale in a courtroom when he insisted on his right to defend himself, attacked and ran- sacked numerous Panther headquarters, and un- leashed the wrath of the vice-president and the Jus- tice Dept. on everyone from the Weathermen to George McGovern. When the Panthers and the Con- spiracy called us to New Haven to demand an end to political repression and the release of all political pris- oners, particularly Bobby Seole and the Cbnnecticut Panthers, 25,000 of us come, despite the presence of 4,000 Marines, Army paratroopers and National Guardsmen. While we demonstrated in New Haven, 10,000 U5. and South Vietnamese troops invaded Cam- bodia. Steve Talbot-Class President i67 to 169 The escalation of the war against the people of Southeast Asia exposed the government's determi- nation to remain in Vietnam, aid reactionary Asian regimes like the Lon Nol government, and suppress popular movements which threaten U.S. hegemony in the Pacific Rim. The invasion also meant that an in- transigent government foreign policy would now require domestic repression of anti-war, anti-im- perialist dissent to an extent never before experi- enced by the white peace movement. We began to feel intuitively what Noam Chomsky articulated at Wesleyan several days later: It's quite impossible to carry out an ag- gressive war in an open democratic soci- ety. Either the war will have to end, or else the democracy will have to go. And we silenced him with a standing ovation when he said: In fact, in my opinion, the only likely thing that can stop the Indochina war is the de- velopment of a mass movement in the United States which really begins to ap- proach the nature of a revolutionary movement. We mobilized in a way we never had before. From a New Haven workshop on college students come a call for a national student strike-the first in Ameri- can historywround three interrelated demands aimed at oppression abroad and repression at home. The demands to end political repression and tree po- litical prisoners, halt the invasion of Cambodia and immediately withdraw all US troops from Southeast Asia, and end university complicity with the military provided a real basis for black-white coalition, and the strike strategy brought forth the organized power of students. For the first time we sensed the potential strength of our united outrage. But the government and the media are learning to divide us faster than we are learning to unite. Vir- tually no national news coverage was devoted to the origins and purpose of the strike. Campus protest was explained only as a reaction to the Cambodian crisis and, later, the killing of tour white students at Kent State. And when we returned to Wesleyan from New Haven, even after the students and faculty voted overwhelmingly to support all three demands of the strike, we found that days of seminars, meetings and conversations were necessary to understand that the demands of the strike constituted a program that could not be taken apart. Black and Puerto Ricon students asked us, 'Are you serious? Do you really understand why your freedom depends on Bobby Seale's and other political prisoners'? They were im- patient with us when we wavered, when we said, Maybe we should concentrate on the war. People won't be able to make the connection between what the government is doing to the Vietnamese in Asia and blacks in Augusta or New Haven. It was the im- patience of people who know they are oppressed and who get tired waiting for us to recognize our 80 own oppression, to realize that we have no future in inheriting a racist, exploitative, militaristic system, and that our only alternative is to recognize our hu- manity and struggle to free ourselves in solidarity with all oppressed people. John Froines told us, Hlf you donlt understand how you are oppressed, if you don't lieel it, then you are no good to the movement.ll When students were shot to death at Kent State and Jackson State, when blacks were killed in Augusta, when state after state sent the National Guard into colleges and communities to put down the rebellions, we came to see that our struggle for peace and ius- tice is a struggle against our society and for our- selves and that we were now dealing with the busi- ness of survival. We came a long way in our understanding of our- selves, our university, and our country during the strike. We felt a conflict between our politics and our education. We saw Wesleyan for what it was: an in- stitution of privilege that serves the interests of the dominant groups in our society; and we saw that our education had too often been mechanistic and inhuman and stifling, because it trained us to submit to a system of iniustice and oppression and even to oppress. It became clear that until Wesleyan begins to serve the needs of the community around it, until it refutes its role as an inculcator of high culture, of the social norms of the forces of bureaucratic order, and of the skills and values required by the admini- strators of imperialism, it will be part of the societal apparatus of oppression. The radical transforma- tion of our university will be as much a measure of the strike movement as our success in the critical task of bringing people other than students into it. The trial of the Connecticut Panthers continues, as does the American war in Southeast Asia. The strike, in one form or another, must also continue. Steve Talbot The strike demands: That the United States government end its systematic repression of political dissidents and release all political prisoners, such as Bobby Seale and others in the Black Panther Party. That the United States government cease its expan- sion of the Vietnam war into Laos and Cambodia and that it unilaterally and immediately withdraw all forces from Southeast Asia. That universities end their complicity with the U.S. War Machine by an immediate end to defense and counter-insurgency research, ROTC, and all other such programs.

As freshmen, the class of 1970's athletic record was not impressive. Swimming, wrestling, and lacrosse had winning seasons as the composite record was 37 wins and 43 losses. There were individuals, however, that insured quality materi- al for varsity teams in the years ahead. In addition, there were some athletes who may not have been as talented as the chosen few but who did show outstanding qualities of dedication, leadership, and competitiveness. They developed those qualities well and one must credit the class of 1970 for providing inspiration and leadership throughout the year on the practice field as well as in the competive arena. ; With the exception of the spectacular Frank Waters, the seniors on the undefeated, untied football team might go unnoticed. Captain Jeff Diamond has to be ranked as one of the best offensive linemen in Wesleyan's football his- tory. Mike Mastergeorge was a key to the efficient play of the defensive team. Steady George Glassanos has the top two Wesleyan seasonal records in rushing attempts as well as being second in total career rushing yardage. All of this without one fumble. Diamond and Mastergeorge were select- ed to the AIl-New England team and Waters was named Defensive Back of the Year on the ECAC team. Frank earned eight letters at Wesleyan-a feat no other athlete ac- complished in team sports during the sixties. A two-way foot- ball player, he ranks second in Wesleyan's history in sea- sonal and career records in pass receiving. He was a clutch performer whether looking for a pass or returning a punt, kick-off, or field goal try M7 yards against Trinity to set Up the winning touchdowni. This was Wesleyan's fourth undefeated football team, the first to be classified top small college team in New England, and the first to win the Lambert Cup. Honors went to many individuals in addition to those mentioned above. But the one characteristic of the '69 season that appears to be the base for success was the ability of the squad to pull itself together if H M. m-e- mm. ..w ..w . E 'E E E and reach top proficiency to overtake the opposition. Play- ing well under pressure was typical of all Wesleyan teams. The soccer team, under the strong leadership of Captains Tony Balis, Jim Brown, and Doug Maynard, played five games that went into double-overtime and finished No. 6 in New England with a record of four wins, two losses and four ties. All games were tight and hotly contested. Brown, Maynard and Alex Volenzuela-Bock earned Honorable Men- tion All-New England recognition. Bill Rodgers, Captain of Cross Country produced the best series of times of any run- ner in Wesleyan History. The top basketball record in five years U3-5E followed the pattern of football and soccer for close, exciting, come-from-behind contests. Rusty Helgren, the only starting senior, was one of the best defensive players in New England and always drew the opponent's top 89 scorer. Captain Brion Silvestro and Tim Smith played impor- tant roles in developing a squad that matured quickly. The swimming and wrestling teams produced fine records: 9-1 and a second place in the New Englands for the former and 8-5, a Little Three Championship, and fourth in the New Englands for the latter. The strength of both teams centered around two outstanding athletes. AII-Americon and Captain John Ketchom received the Muir Award as the top senior swimmer in New England. Tuck Stebbins, Co-coptain of the wrestlers with John Fong, was voted the outstanding wrestler in the New England tournament and became the second Wesleyan wrestler to score in the NCAA's. Brian Silvestro captained an excellent golf team that won the Little Three but failed to successively defend its New England crown, finishing sixth. Captain Steve Ching was the only senior on a 4-5 tennis squad that engaged in some of the best matches in recent years. Track, baseball and lacrosse saw a premature end to their season leave Little Three titles in doubt. The student strike on May 4 prevented the schedule from being completed. Each team had opportunities to win ibasebalD, or at least tie for championships. Co-captains Bob Allen and Frank Waters, Mike Mastergeorge, and Charlie Holbrook, familiar football names, along with Craig Masterson formed the nucleus of the baseball team. A Spring trip to Mexico City provided a dif- ferent setting but not the usual strong opposition of Miami. A double win over Williams raised hopes for a championship but that was the end of regular competition. Gerry Cerasale and Dave Quimette were the only senior letter winners in track. These two scored many points as they doubled up on events to strenghten a thinly manned squad. Lacrosse, meanwhile, was never better at Wesleyan. There have been a couple of years in which the record was better than 5-3 but not the play. The skill of the individuals and excellent play showed marked improvement over the ten years of this sport's existence here. Co-captains Doug Maynard and Dave Savage, as well as attackman Peter Owens, deserve much credit for the performance of this team. Maynard was named to the North AII-Star Team and was also recognized by his fellow athletes as the winner of the Aherns Award as the athlete of the year. Also at the end of the year, Frank Waters was selected as Argus Athlete of the year, and John Ketcham and Tuck Stebbins shared the Maynard Award for their exceptional achievements in academic and as well as athletic pursuits. The records show that it was a great year for the Cardi- nals. More important than the records, however, was the approach the Wesleyan athlete had towards competition. He met it head on and enioyed every minute of it. The class of 1970 made significant and memorable contributions in the area of intercollegiate athletics.

Earl Hanson-Choirmon of the Biology Department IMPRESSIONS FROM THE PAST YEAR Now, at the autumnal end of summer, details of the past school year are beginning to blur unless one recalls the larger problems and in their context finds specific events. I'll begin, then, with broad impres- sions and let the focus on details come as it will. Starting with the broadest of impressions, I would say that, by comparison with the preceding year, things were quieter in 1969-70. This was not because of less severe or fewer disturbances-we had building damage this year in excess of that in the previous year-but because our crises were generated in a manner different from that of the previous year. In 1968-69, the university had a series of confrontations that were clearly institutional in import: Malcolm X Day, military recruitment, and the Afro-American in- stitute are good examples. In each case Wesleyan, as an institution, had to make a corporate response. By comparison, though the recruiting problem remained unresolved, the crises of 1969-70 were more the result of personalities in conflict. That is excepting the Strike, of course, which was of a new dimension altogether. Generalities such as the preceding are unsure ones and, surely, anyone sitting in any of sev- eral vulnerable chairs in the administration could well see these comments from another perspective. But let me persist, for it is my impression that the University had taken, in the previous year, several important steps which were succeeding. Success was measured very simply: With the exception of the on- campus military recruitment issue, the issues of 1968- 69 were not arising again, at least not in the form they had originally taken. However, though these specific problems did not arise again, Wesleyan had by no means resolved, for example, the larger problems of white-black racism on campus. In my view, it was the blindness of certain white students to the reality of black rage present in fellow black students that touched off the series of racial in- cidents in the fall. The restraint of many of the black and white students was a reassuring contrast to the actions of the centrally involved persons. Whatever the formal judgments of the day, it was clear many white students were openly critical of the thoughtless behavior of their fellow white students and the black students, on their sidFand there's no denying it, there were alignments of several kinds at this time- withheld certain dimensions of public support from one of their brothers whom they deemed at fault. The faculty, too, had its racial problems. It was told by its black members, in no uncertain terms, that it was racist. And it tried several times to grapple with that issue, but largely failed. Further, after one meeting where the white racist accusation was partic- ularly emphatic, one of my white colleagues the next day said to me that he was going to do something if we were again branded as racist. lasked him what he planned to do. No answer. I asked him to go speak to the black man who had made the charge. His response was to the effect What? And get my face busted in! There has been absolutely no vio- lence among the faculty on racial issues. I do not know on what evidence my colleague chose to conclude that collectively our black colleagues were prone to physical violence. The one with whom I was conversing then had to admit his judgment was suf- fering from precisely the same faults of over- generalizing that he was imputing to his accusers. Moreover, he remained unconvinced that the white faculty is racist. How long is it going to be before white America, and, here at Wesleyan, the white fac- ulty can gain the sensitivity to see and correct the cul- tural values that are also cultural arrogance? I don't know. Racism: it has to be dealt with here by each of us. Military recruitment: a clash of moral indignation, with the legally sanctioned status quo, and no one finding a good answer. Curricular revision in our department: some important changes. Departmental faculty recruitment: high hopes but limited success; departmental promotions: high hopes and great suc- cess. A new course for non-scientists: the joy of ex- perimenting with some new and some old ideas in fresh ways. My genetics course: the great pleasure of refining and revitalizing foundational concepts. And so the year went by. Then came the Strike. For me the Strike has been the most intensely edu- cational phenomenon that l have experienced during my decade as a member of the Wesleyan community. Why do I say that? For two major reasons: First, the University acted as it should have acted during such a major crisis, in that the crisis did not close the Uni- versity and contending views were heard. Second, there joined together behind the goals of the Strike, students and faculty and administratoerut espe- cially studentHf many different political per- suasions, of various ethnic backgrounds, of latent or 100 101 active social concern, and regardless of being iocks or straight or outasight, many ioined together for responsible and humane action. I supported the Strike. I had to because the aims of the Strike were for me totally right: We must ensure human dignity and end repression of individual rights. We must stop the Vietnam War and end its malignant effect on our values and on our national resources. We must be sure our universities retain the vigor of independent thought and action. I also met my classes regularly during this time. We discussed evolution and heredity along with the current issues of the Strike and exchanges with my students have never been more meaningful. The semester ended for me on a plane of exhilara- tion, iust mentioned above, and also with foreboding. The unity of the Strike papered over deeper, un- derlying and unresolved issues. Some of these ex- posed themselves at the final faculty meeting where the faculty had to see itself in a mirror of its own peculiar manufacture. We had to decide on the awarding of degrees. The vast majority of the students were handled satisfactorily by conventional guidelines. But severaI-too many-revealecl what, in my opinion, can only be called faculty irrespon- sibility. Not irresponsibility in the sense of conscious avoidance of duties, but rather confusion as to what the University is supposed to be about. Because of this, students were being treated in inconsistent and arbitrary ways, ways that fulfilled no one's vision of what education should be achieving. This confusion on the part of the faculty is the next maior problem we face. It underlies all other con- cerns. Solve it we must and restore to this educational institution a clear sense of purpose and effective function. The old rhetoric and guidelines must be reviewed and recast. The premium on gaining a sound education is as high as ever, some of our critics notwithstanding, but our vision of what that educa- tion should be is heavily beclouded. The world has new urgencies and missions; Wesleyan must have them, too, and they must be founded on humane values that are right for the 19703. Earl D.

We came from various places for varying motives. You watched us and ignored us, but Wesleyan will never again be your place. It will be our place, iyours and oursl. When I pulled my car up in front of Lawn Avenue, a sondy-hoired young man rushed up earnestly, garrotted by cameras. He asked me: l'Mind if I set up a few publicity shots? Why not? So he dragged a bunch of you out of the dorms and he started taking pictures: you, loaded down with my suitcases and books; me, emptyhandecl as a queen. Al- ready people were loading us down with their prejudices and expectations. Imagine the headline: BOYS FALL OVER BACKWARD WELCOMING COED. Right from the start, parents and emcees and reporters and cocktail party types asked me. What's it like to be a girl at WesIeyan ? I never knew what to say, because there is no formula, no easy answer. There's a concatenation of private experiences. I am one girl, one idiosyncratic per- son, and not a girl at Wesleyan . I came from a suitcase school. My friends were all girls, and we studied together, and talked about trivial and serious things. Thursday nights we washed our hair, and Friday we dressed up and carried out our suitcases onto the train. But we came up to boys' schools feeling curiously empty-handed; we left our life, our friends behind, and came to fit in with your friends, your intellectual life. It was a schizoid way to do things. And so I came here. I was afraid at first-ofraid that there were heavy intellec- tual things going down here, of which we poor chicks were ignorant. I didn't want to talk in class, unless I was very, very sure. And then I found out that you could be vague, or emo- tional too. And I began to relax. But the first time I talked in class, the professor looked over paternally and said, That's a really good point. I'm really surprised. IWom- en's Lib suddenly stopped looking siIIyJ I stopped trying to impress you, and you stopped trying to impress me. We made friends. I got to know you better than I ever had before. You saw me less as a chick and more as a person. We went walking on the campus at night, feeling pretty good. We went to concerts in odd numbers and cooked huge spaghetti suppers. We listened to Jonathan at Eclectic, and danced in circles. Of course, some days I'd pull on my ieans and look in the mirror and wonder why most of us were only weekday friends. On big weekends, Foss Hill seemed like a morgue of unclaimed young lovelies. We were jealous of the weekend imports. We were confused. We didn't want to be ornaments, but we weren't sure where we fit in. And nor were you. We still don't know. Who could come to this ragbag of freaks and straights and find a little place iust their shape? And that's the beauty of it. There was a girl who said she'd always been a dancer; another loved parties; another who loved politics. There have always been a thousand ways to be a man at Wesleyan. From now on, there'll be just as many ways to be a woman. -u -,,. :mLmEmO :0 ENNO comcma ucm :2800 Ea Word Rinehon 2 JeH Wuxman Larry Wermck mqm J Among mjoow qdma WESLEYAN 70 114 115 Even the weirdest of appetites certainly must have been pleased by some of the theatre, music, and art at Wesleyan this year. Few instruments were left unpiayed, few fields left unexplored. The theatre season was highlighted by more than the usual number of original plays, including some by Wesleyan students. The premiere of Billy's Dream by Michael Mason ushered in the academic year. An utter trifleebut fortunately things gradually im- proved. The following week saw the debut of the '92 Theatre's Director's Workshop series-scenes from well known classical and modern plays with each program revolving around a certain theme and with each scene directed and acted by Wesleyan students. Shaw's Candida, Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and Hamlet, Wilde's Importance of Being Ear- nest, and Anouilh's Antigione were among those plays represented in the workshops. Following each individual program, the theatre department held a mass critique, a post-mortem, during which all con- cerned including the audience dissected each scene and discussed why this and why that. The entire series of Workshop presentations was ultimately a very suc- cessful and enjoyable learning experience for direc- tors, actors and audience alike. In December, the '92 people trapped Promethe eus in the cage, and the whole think defied analy- sis. The caged Prometheus was a rather indefinabie, ostensibly irrational mass of action which did or did not hang together depending upon just how much hanging together you demand. The second semester saw bizarre incidents envel- oping us like a warm, wet sponge in Two Dwarves in A Cioset -a new play by Stephen Policott '70 and a bit of fun, frivolous, fanciful fluff. A week later The Kepler Foundation by Gerald Jones '70. An unsavory boulillabaissegthe chef seemed to know some fine receipes but in this case the chief ingredients were simply incompatible. The authors of both these original works do not, however, deserve any discouragement. There was a lot to like, particu- larly in Dwarves. April and May saw the Theatre Department reach its peak. Ralph Pendleton's production of T. S. Eliot's The Family Reunion was highly profes- sional and quite sensitive and thoughtful. As rend- ered here in the Davison Art Center tan ingenious location in itselfi this extraordinarily difficult the- atre piece provided several eves of handsome, ele- gant theatre. And the '92ers capped off their season by Waiting for Godot w series of hits and misses, but for the most part a worthy addition to their list of accomplishments. Joel Bernstein, '70, as Estragon gave the most stunning performance of his Wesleyan career-handling the vaudeville moments with a smart comic flair and the serious moments with due poignancy. The Theatre students who exited stage center this year include Bernstein, Policoff, Jones, Jim Pickering twell known for his many strong stage performances, such as Vladmir in Godot, and his directorial ac- complishments, such as Dwarves i, John Haury ta spaced-out king in Dwarves who was completely out-of-control, breezily buoyant, and very in gear with the inanities of the playi, Charlie Zitf twho designed a snappy, spatial Studio Theatre set for Kepler and who also very expertly handled the sound effects for most of the productionsl, Robert Murphy tsuper-star stage managerl and Douglas Smith lwho rendered roles as diverse as dwarf and doctorl. Our future Perter Brookses and Laurence Oliviers. The music department was also its usual active self. October saw a series of concerts featuring North and South Indian music performed by various visiting musicians. This festival was followed throughout the year by numerous curry concerts of Japanese and In- dian music and many appearances of our own Javanese Gamelan orchestra, who accompanied an all-night performance of Javanese shadow puppetry one weekend in May. The Wesleyan University Orchestra also made themselves known, as did the Wesleyan Brass Ensemble. The annual December Candlelight Concert was particularly impressive this year as were other performances by the Chapel Choir and the Glee Club which appeared with choruses from Sara Lawrence, Smith, Wheaton, and Connecticut College at various times during the season. 'Wlagnitcats by Pergolesi and Bach, Jephthe by Carissimi, and 'The Passion According to St. John by Selle were their most widely ac- claimed accomplishments. Other concerts sponsored by the Music Department featured the Music Guild String Quartet, the Yoruba Temple Dancers and Chanters, Debu Chaudhur lsi- tarl, the Delft Trio, the Budaya Troupe from In- clonesia, the Ken McIntyre Quartet, Ray del la Torre tSpanish classical guitarl, The Cologne Chamber Orchestra, and Helen Boatright tsopranol. And more music. The social Committee and the Student Events Committee made possible several rock concerts-Mother Earth, NRB2, Tai Mahalethe piece de resistance being the Wesleyan Woodstock ex- perience featuring the Grateful Dead and other groups was entertained in our make shift open air theatre from one May afternoon to late eveningw football field of sound. This year the Davison Art Center was also busy hosting a continuous assortment of exhibitsesome made up of works by Wesleyan professors and students. Student photography was perhaps given the best exposure-most prominently from Robert Baker, Cole Sheckler, Jim Jenson, Bill Bullard and Tony Balis tall seniorsl, with the finale being a major showing of student work entitled HEach In His Own Way.ll Other DAC highlights included works from the collection of James Lord, 0 display of African art, woodcuts by Jacques Hnizdorsky, the Janos Scholz Collection of Italian Master Drawings from the 15th to the 18th Century, and a Rembrandt ex- hibition as well as a variety of valuable prints taken from the DAC collection. The Film Program was also active in making avail- able a wide range of cinematic adventures. From Cit- izen Kane to Roshomon, from Orson Welles to Jean Renoir, from John Ford to Kurosaiva, from Humphrey Bogart to Toshiro Mifune to tour tcount'em fourl eves of Greta Garbo, from standard to experimental, from silent films to horror flicks-the cultists went wild and the series provided much enjoyment cum cinematic education.

FRATERNITIES Changes in student attitudes and interests in recent years have resulted in declining fraternity membership at Wesleyan. The year before the Class of 1970 entered the University, nearly 80 per cent of the students at Wesleyan belonged to fraternities. By the middle of their senior year, less than 25 per cent of the under- graduate student body belonged to fraternities. In the fall of 1966, 192 members of this class pledged, but by the fall of 1969 only 96 remained on the Hactive roles. Various studies suggest that students entering Wesleyan, as a whole, are more mature and less de- pendent on groups than they used to be. They are less interested in attaining roles of leadership and power than in achieving seif-fulfillment. It has become clear that, for most students, the traditional fraternity struc- ture demanding strong loyalty to the organization as well as rigorous participation in the running of the organization is no longer desired. Many students, even though no longer formally affiliated with fra- ternities, casually participate in fraternity affairs. Students now desire, within the confines of a given living unit, a loosely organized community structure featuring interpersonal relationships and minimized commitment to the operation of the fraternity. In general, this new mode of living association produces a rather loosely defined, yet socially autonomous, locus of Iike-minded people. This shift in attitudes and the rapid increase in main- tenance and operation costs have made it more dif- ficult tor fraternities to remain financially stable. De- clining commitment to the system and declining mem- bership have caused a serious contraction of income. Of the nine houses which reported their financial status in the fall of 1969, all either operated at a deficit or projected a deficit for the current year. In addition to having small memberships, many fraternity members do not wish to live in their houses because rooms are crowded and in many cases the physical environment is subpar. :25; m: Lana... With these problems in mind, the Board of House Presidents, the Alumni Council on Fraternities, and the administration met throughout the year in an at- tempt to find solutions. Since it is generally understood that when fraternities operate at their best, they make a useful contribution to a certain gr0up of students and to the university community, the Board of Trustees passed the following resolution on February 7, 1970: llIn 1961 the Board of Trustees acknowledged the fundamental part that fraternities have played in the life at Wesleyan. The Board believes that Wesleyan should encour- age a wide variety of living options for students and that fraternity living should continue to be one of these. In view of the current changes, including increasing financial pressures, the Board has directed the Admin- istration to proceed with discussions and negotiations with fraternities within the context of the Gollowing recommendationsl: I. That the University accept as gifts houses and property which are now owned by fraternity corpora- tions and lease back this property to the donors. The physical plants of these houses would be brought up to competitive standards and would be maintained at that level. The responsibility for this maintenance would be the University's. Under this plan, the houses would continue as autonomous institu- tions, selecting their own members and designating their own programs and life styles. The University would play a large part in the management of the house, but the clay-to-day life in the house would remain in the hands of the fraternity and their alumni. The reasons for this recommendation were made with the deep conviction that fraternities should continue to operate on the Wesleyan campus; they are directive and will continue to be a directive to a certain segment of the undergraduate population each year; and there is a distinct need for small living units as an option to the dormitories. I'll. That the University and the Board of House Presidents investigate the possibility of having the University offer financial and management advice to fraternities. I'lll. That the University establish a fund, to be ad- ministered by a student-faculty administration com- mittee, to support cultural and social programs for all living units, including fraternities. IV. That, in addition to offering assistance in busi- ness matters, the University give architectural and con- struction advice as it pertains to fraternities and con- tinue house surveillance by security personnel.ll The first house to accept Proposal No. 1 was Eclectic. Almost total renovation of the facility is to be completed by the fall of 1970. Other houses are plan- ning on taking advantage of this alternative in the hope that within the context of current attitudes and financial strains, as many students as possible will have available to them, the option of this life style.

It is hard for me to conceive of my not being at Wesleyan next year, if only because it is harder for me to conceive of my ever not having been there. I can, of course, remember myself sitting in class in high school, wondering what college would be like; yet somehow I doubt whether I am that same person and not someone else. What I do recaII envisioning is a place very far away from any I'd visited or known, a place aImost metaphysicaIIy as well as geographically distant. I remember my imagining not a seamless, high-coIIared medi- eval castle with an ever-Iockiawed bridge but rather a vista of crewcut acres and acres of green, physically trespassable by anyone yet serving psychologically as a moat, a moat barring those who did not belong and separating a sparsely cultivated world out there from a weII-tended realm within. This realm within was a sanctuary, at times a retreat from the ills and fortune of the real worldII but more often a re- treat from merely the brutish, thoughtless manner in which that real world dealt with its iIIs and fortune. The world I'out thereII was without direction, its behavior erratic and arbitrary. Too many competing forces were at work, each force vaunting its own demands; too many groups deter- mined and depended on the actions the world took. In the sheltered realm resources were no more replete or less in demand, nor did the inhabitants agree beforehand on the uses to which the resources were to be put. What insured perfection was a presumed commitment and not just reluc- tant submission to persuasion as the lone standard for deter- mining the allocation of resources. In the real world power determined their allocation. Power counted for all. Power was political, financial, or physical; it was the cross ability to get something done. If might did not make right, it surely relegated right to a mat- ter of secondary import. Power not only was the means of satisfying demands; power was itself satisfying. In the ideal world, in contrast, power was scorned as little less then bully- ing. Power was an inappropriate consideration and, more than inconsiderate, a harmful consideration, turning as it did a question of right into one of might. Right, it should be noted, meant not morally but intellectually right, factually compelling. Whatever the action proposed, its acceptance was decided upon by argument alone. No other factors mat- tered, not who made the proposal, not the stake he had in its acceptance, not his insistence, and not the number of his sup- porters. .r, n-ka-nu.V This, then, was the manner in which I expected a university to operate. Not that I expected students or teachers to have been spaded of visceral likes and dislikes but that l was certain that they would clothe those inStincts in respectable argument and repress any sentiments which could not be clothed. Never, I thought, would they resort to an unabashed even de- liberate flaunting of their feeling or their power as sufficient compulsion for any university action. I was not correct.

WESLEYAN 70 TO WHOM IT MAY BE CONCERNED or A LEGACY or lNothingi Four years ago I matriculated into a prestigious, white, middIe-closs university. In June I graduated from a pres- tigious, white, middle-class university. I entered as a Negro. I left a Black. Academic reform and block identity were among the requisites of the past four years. I grew increas- ingly critical as the process from discussion led to dissension followed by ad hoc committees and eventually culminated in constructive implementation. The rationale for change at Wesleyan has been individu- alism, relevancy, and doing your own thing.ll Has the dif- ferent orientation been successful? My friend Bob Segal would most likely respond in the negative. I, maybe. That the university is in a state of flux is unquestionable, as dutifully indicated by the continuous shifting and sitting of North Collegedom. Has the common denominator of intellectual in- teraction, students to professors, been maintained? Yes, but the changing of emphasis from the gregarious seminar to in- dependent study, research, and extro-curricular involvement is obvious. The sometimes conflict of purposes is indicated in the blur- ring of role distinctions. The professor is no longer only the teacher, nor the student only the recipient of instruction, nor the administrator solely the formulator of policy. There is a cross-migration of persons and functions. I iust hope that the synthesis will not lead to a cross-purpose conflict and ineffec- tual result. It is no doubt true that the community which cannot live together will eventually die a common death or the institu- Bob Murphy-Closs President '69-'70. 143 tion that resists change and maintains the status quo is by implication a stagnant particle in an evolving society and will subsequently be swamped in the wake of evolution. Wesleyon's problem now is to determine priorities, avoid alienation of its members and move not necessarily to re- conciliation with the parent society or itself but to a working agreement. The university must remain dynamic, ever aware of internal interests and sensitive to them, but must not cater, ponder, or be seIf-indulgent. It can, it must, and I believe it will review its posture of the past few years and begin the formulation of policy which will be encom- passing yet flexible enough to cope with affairs of the moment. The class of '70 had the rather dubious distinction of ini- tiating and bearing witness to the conception and develop- ment of trends which span at least the last four years. Most of us were the mildly concerned moderates of the early six- ties. We were 'strclightl frosh when drug usage was still in the experimental stage. Our sexual mores were as ambigu- ous as the parietal hour regulations uninforced when we or- rived at Wes. Racially and academically we were the von- guard of the liberal admissions policy. We were indeed the class of the sixties, perhaps the last class of on age, mentality jolted to maturity in what might become the philosophy of the seventies. Drugs came; parietals went; fraternities are going. The Integration Negroes 1966 became the Blocks of Fisk Hall 1969. The moderates of civil rights clays became the concerned, committed 'rodicals' and 'conservatives' of 1970. A consummation of good and evil marked our senior year. It started with the accreditation of a segment of the liberal- KY 7f: :14 ized interpretation of educationethe Experimental College and the Atro-American Institute. Political activism once avoided became legalized in the formation of Uiamaa and the May Student Strike. Both programs maintained their identity of interest and participation through community meetings and extensive involvement in Middletown. Just as important, we seniors were heaved into the quagmire of academic concern and military obligation. The Adamany Report alleged good grades were received too easily and implied statistically that grad schools were likely to shaft us. The draft lottery shall be marked in infamy for summarily indicating whether or not we were cool with Uncle Sam. Now as graduates we are hurled into a society, on outside world, suffering from political, economic and social ferment that we, former college students, supposedly helped to cause. Our graduate deferments gone, the job market for college grads depleted, we are cast into conditions where choice is tantamount to conjecture. Happy and optimistic are we? We have been bruised as the rug of moderate security has withdrawn from beneath us, yet even insecurity can breed hope. We had become a party in spirit to and the embodiment of Wesleyan's evolution. We know what WesIeyan's been, what it is, and speculate as to what it might be. Our legacy is ourselves. We are the con- fusion that is Wesleyan. We are the hope of what Wesleyan can be or the condemnation of what it fails to become. Robert J.

Wesleyan is a place for being caught off guardwnd being caught.

For a considerable number of young people, our tradition of four consecu- tive years of college immediately after secondary school is not appealing, and they are consequently poorly mo- tivated to take advantage of what the campus has to offer. College education is now so costly, and the needs of our society are so great, that we cannot afford a notably inefficient institution, which is what we are when a high percentage of the students are turned off. One response to this situation is to modify the college offering, in the hope that students will be turned on.ll Significant changes along these lines have been made at Wesleyan in the past decade, and others, sparked by imaginative suggestions from faculty and students, are likely to come soon. The College of Letters and the College of Social Studies permit students to attack significant problems without the circumscriptions of departmental boundaries; East College and West Colleges after living arrangements augmented by llsemi-curricularll programs; tutorials 0,316 of them in l969-70i are potentially responsive to individual needs not met by courses; the Twelve College Exchange Program and the option of a semester or more at one of various institutions, in this country and abroad, provide opportunity for a change of educational climate; l'education-in-the-field carries academic credit for approved activities away from Middletown; guidelines have replaced University requirements for work outside of a studentis major field; the African-American Institute, the World Music Program, and the inewl depart- ments of anthropology and sociology offer extraordinarily rich fare, not available at Wesleyan until recently. All this we already have. Moreover, we constantly explore methods of increasing each student's active in- volvement in the educational process, and of closing the gap between theory and practice, between the world of ideas and the world of action. The changes already made have been helpful, and probably those of the near future will be helpful, too. But I doubt that they will be enough. A substantial number of 18 to 22-year olds who have had no significant, extended experience outside of school have strong psychological needs for action, for social involvement, for adult roles in the real world rather than continuation in the Go themi adolescent status of student. No conceivable educational institution can satisfy this group. For them, the modifications which Wesleyan has made or is contemplating are inadequate. JAN .19: Robert A RosenbauwActing President, Chancellor, Math Professor 157 Why not turn, then, to another approach-simple and direct? Let us say to a secondary school graduate, We have tried to describe to you what a liberal arts college is. If you are really interested in any of the options we offer, we wel- come you and look forward to working with you. But if you prefer to get a job for a while, to try your wings in the 'real world', if you would like to do something socially useful now, or if you iust don't know why you should go to college, we suggest that you stay out for a year or two, or even three, and come back to us if and when you have developed a gen- uine enthusiasm for college. Let us say essentially the same thing to some of our enrolled students, too-those who have lost their drive and motivation, those who are floundering in a sea of indecision and frustration, those who are looking for immediate relevance in all that they do. Relevance, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. We all have had the experience of understanding a book, taking delight in a painting, comprehending a commonplace truth which at some earlier time left us cold. Neither the book, nor the painting, nor the truth had changed; we had, by some process of aging or experience, become ready for them. So too, perhaps, with liberal education. This is the essence of my proposal. There are several observations to be made about this approach: U First, it presupposes an end to the military draft. So long as Selective Service lasts, we will have students in college for wrong reasons. 2i The proposal is not radical; the options now exist twith- in the constraints of the drafti to postpone entry into col- lege or to drop out for a time between college entrance and graduation. The proposal is simply to call explicit at- tention to the existence of the options. More than this: a young man or woman is encouraged not to come to col- lege or, once enrolled, not to stay in college unless he or she has some good reasons to be there. One might facili- tate the choice of one of these by llfuture admission or llguaranteed readmission.ll 3 It may be argued that the liberal arts college serves an important function in addition to that of stimulating the intellectual development of young peopleethat it is the in- stitution associated with the rites of passage from ado- lescence to adulthood. Even assuming that it once served this purpose well, one may ask whether it does now. Per- haps present conditions call for a different approach, utilizing a combination of the campus and the non-aca- clemic environment. 4t We often hear that the interesting and significant iobs in our society require much training and educationeindeed, this is one of the arguments for increasing the percentage of the population going to college. In fact, this thesis tends to be exaggerated; the educational qualifications listed for many jobs are not actually needed for their perform- ance. But, in any case, for the short run there are many in- teresting opportunities for young people, without college degrees, to do things which desperately need doing in our society: VlSTA-type iobs, work in conservation, in hospi- tals, in schools and ghettos, as well as more traditional jobs in business, industry, and government. After some such experience, a student may be much better able to take ad- vantage of those college opportunities which are rele- vantll to his pursuits, both vocational and avocational. 5t If they take a break in their college careers, some stu- dents, it is asserted, will never return to finish. Is that neces- sarily bad? bl Although this proposal appears to extend the already- long period before the individual completes his training for his lifework, the increased efficiency that accompanies heightened motivation will partly counteract this tendency. A person who is intellectually and psychologically ready to move directly from high school to college, and to com- plete his college work in four years tor lessl can still do so. 160 This proposal should not be misinterpreted. It does not say the present Wesleyan is perfect, or that students are welcome on the campus only when they conform unquestioningly to what Wesleyan now offers and demands. Wesleyan changes with the times, trying always to be more effective as an educational institu- tion. Far-reoching changes have taken place, others are con- templated, and more will be stimulated by student concerns and suggestions. If many students should opt for the proposal suggest- ed, undoubtedly still other curricular and organizational changes would follow. But Wesleyan is not an all-purpose institution of our society. We have goals which were clearly formulated, for ex- ample, by Vic Butterfield in 1955 in his Faith ofa Liberal College. If written today that credo might be phrased differently, but the goals themselvese A community of intellectual distinctionll . . . freedom and the responsible acceptance of freedom . . . com- mitment to the principle of man's service to his fellow man e these do not change. If an individual is not interested in, or ready for, what Wesleyan is set to accomplish, what we have the talent, skill and commitment to accomplish, he or she is better off elsewhere, perhaps at another college, perhaps not at any college.

This Olla Podrida represents the final collegiate gamble of the class of 1970. While you may have had a say in the other gambles of the Wesleyan ExperienCFthe professors you chose, the classes you optioned, the girls you dated, the friends you made, the roadtrips you took-you had no choice as to who would be the editor of your yearbook, who would record those gambles and their results for our biographers. In February, after the abortion of the Wesleyan Review, the Olla Podrida was resurrected by the College Body Committee. I applied to be editor and was chosen by a local draft board known as the Publications Committee. The traditional prestige of being editor turned out to be non- existent and I was left holding the yearbook bag. It contained ashes and torn remnants of recent efforts, the dregs of the CBC budget, and an already overdue bill from the publisher in New York. Adding a camera, a few rolls of film, and a vague sense of who's who and what's where at Wesleyan, I succeeded in not gathering any permanent staff and one day in April or May set out among I469 student bodies in search of Wesleyan I970. To try to put it altogether objectively. But love does not breed obiectivity, and in spite of her faultkapathy dissipated only briefly by the strike, the incohesiveness of the academic environment, and the often unrealistic pressures to be an Individual-I loved Wesleyan. It is, was, and, I think, will remain a place of tremendous oppor- tunity for personal growth. .. - Therefore I had to seek the necessary objectivity elsewhere. I chose a spectrum of subjectivity, and I thank those gentlemen and that girl who agreed to write down some impressions for publica- tion. Wesleyan, if anything in 1970, was indescribable, too elusive for one pen to capture, for one man to understand. 0 And perhaps for one editor to confine between cloth covers presumptuously entitled Wesleyan thUniversity I970 . But hopefully, five, fifteen or fifty years from now, this Ollo Podrida's focus ,s touches you somewhere. Hopefully you are able to remember Wes Tech through these pages it not in them. A Finally, good luck to all of us. May we remember throughout our different pursuits that success is not a destination but a journey.
