OLLA PODR I DA 1972 Uhis book may seem, as others have before it, A needless record of prosaic fact; Some will accept it, others will deplore it For what it,s overdone and what its lacked. We trust that memory will last forever, Although on every hand we see it fade In father, teacher, friend once quick and clever- No need, we say, of books for memoryls aid. We err, though with a young and generous error: The present, now sharp-focussed, will recede, Slowly and gentl , not with shock and terror, But softly, wit n0 signals we can heed. Then books which summon u the past are welcome, Rescued at length from high and dusty shelves; Some like the echoes of a college bell come T0 mind us of our young unbroken selves. And this is one of those-at least it should be- If eye and pen and camera are well used; It bears the promise of the things that could be If work and wisdom should not be refused. Here are the ames, the girls, the wine-and-roses, The faces 0 the friends who never failed; Here are the arms entwined in silly poses And scenes of disappointments that assailed. Put it on that high shelf, and think it banished, Holding the beautiful, the gay, the odd, The sudden hope that on the morrow vanished- All that was Wesleyan, here in OLLA POD. Lay it aside for now: perhaps a daughter, Perhaps a son, even erhaps a w1e Will scan the page with eyes that quickly water In mirth-or pity-at our college life.

Frequently critical of our direction, I am puzzled by this. A senior expressed the same discomfort. When I complained that so many students seemed ter- ribly dissatisfied with, even bitter at, Wesleyan, he observed that they are insufferable brag- gards about this place when off campus, among parents and friends. My friends discomfort and mine mirror truth. At Wesleyan our scholarship falls far short of our potential. We are forever Imaking Wesleyan the real world, while enjoying the comfort of great wealth, embarrassingly easy lives, and unreal rulelessness. Our politics are mostly posturing, mixed generously with intol- erance in the cause of freedom and psy- chological assaults labeled love. But our impluse to praise is not whimsical. It wells up from occasional scholarly brilliance in many in Wesleyan, and from the enduring in- tellectual lustre of a few. From the exceptional talents one is always discovering among his ac- quaintances here. F mm the incredible maturity in one-to-one relations between many faculty and students. Wesleyan,s impulse for freedom looses these contradictions, for the relaxin of formal re- straints that is a precondition ogfreedom is also an invitation to self-indulgence. This has been the tension in Wesleyan during the five years I have been here-and I suppose long before. How does a University feed the aspiration for freedom, having abandoned formal restrictions, and stave ofI the retrograde tendencies that so quickly and easily set in? Wesleyan has not yet answered that ques- tion, nor has it set upon a clear course toward its resolution. Many of us who care deeply about IVesleyan, and who yearn to see freedom in the academy succeed, now leave that issue, still very much in doubt, in the hands of oth- ers-some our friends, some just successors-to whom we lovingly bid good fortune in the search.

They are confused heads and potheads, ingenuous in their cynic- ism and sophisticated in their idealism, stud- iedly hedonistic and wantonly austere-mirrors t0 the nature of contemporary complexity and 22 t0 the very nature of man. These who drop out into com1ter-cu1ture, cop out of society into selfhood, contract far out to an altered state of consciousness are, I am persuaded, the real spirit of ,72, not those many others moving on obedient to the inertia of 52 01' 22. One wrote similarly to the Class of 1970. These of this year may be that yearts strikeys last heirs, straggling, struggling in isolation, fragments, remnants of the community then raised up. In 1940 my valedictory cried woefully, ttPeace at any priceV, Despite Commencement rhetoric sounding forth, echo of violence aboundin , Nixonian and vastly other, some will pay t e prices of personal peace, even if it be to confinement on a brave new worlds reser- vation.

The question this year is, iiWho are you? instead of Which one are youiw Though the actual male-female ratio is still poor, you could swear that half the students you see are female. Downey House stocks creme rinse, there are at least two func- tioning Kotex machines on campus, and the Chemistry department went so far as to suggest in the handbook to prospective majors that iiHe or she could . . I guess that means we,ve fi- nally arrived. The effect is in many ways heartening. When one coed tries to convince a male professor that female staff are needed, he can scoff and con- $9 1 s 4 '. 3m 3 ma: sider her a neurotic, or on the radical fringe. Somehow another female nodding her head in agreement lends credence to the argument. Being a woman is rapidly fading as the deter- mining characteristic of a female students ex- perience. Differences in experience vary more on an intra-sex basis, and can perhaps be better understood in terms of personality types rather than sex types. This is not to say that there are no problems which are not accentuated or created by being female, here, now. However, most of the dith- Culties can be understood on a relative scale- there are few problems males do not also share, at least on some level, in some way. Few are sex specific. Both sexes suffer from loneliness, the greatest complaint and tragedy of Wesleyan. However, this problem is accentuated for girls as there are so relatively fewer females with Which to find common interests. This is not to 33 suggest that there do not exist male-female friendships, that one cannot view as potential confidantes the entire University population. There are problems, however, in maintaining relationshi s as just friends? One warm glance or shared joke too many is likely to bring im, all smiles and city manners, calling at your door for a date tyou both know he didn't really lose the assignmentl Besides, even some of the females like andtor need girlfriends. Indeed, one of the most interesting phenomena is that Commons Club, an all female residence, is one of the most bid for living units. This is hardly the kind of behavior leeringly predicted about Tithe kind of girls that wanted to come to a boys school? The opportunities for female involvement in many sexually segregated activities are limited. These activities are not extablished, they have to be created. One woman doesnlt constitute a field hockey team; extra energy and initiative are necessary to establish rather than join a pro- gram. Further, at least last year 8Wo of the fe- male population had to be convinced to go out for the sport in order to fill the team positions. Upper-class coeds are sadly lacking, as are fe- 34 male professors. Although hardly causing the discomfort of no girls bathrooms, or diHiculties comparable to those created by class scheduling impossibilities teverything meets T-Th 1:10- 2:30l, this void does act to make life more diffi- cult. It would be nice to know some female just a little older, just a little Wiser, Whose door could be knocked on during innumerable minor criere. RAis fill this place, but only for some. The relative absence of adult tvs. studentl role models also has a negative effect. Females are not provided with the same diversity of types to model themselves by as are inales-and, alas, not everyone wants to be Sheila Tobias. Some females, too, encounter difficulty in being taken seriously by professors, particularly if they are attractive coeds. The licopout looms ominously: Every male math student is a potential computer designer or statistician, eve female math student is a potential subur- ban ousewife, not utilizing her calculus in the productive work of the salaried labor force. In all fairness, females do receive a number of breaks and considerations not given to their male counterparts. Departments are eager to have at least their fair share of female majors. However, female tokenism is a de- erson- alizing, de-humanizingr experience. It,s hard to be flattered by a selection or honor when it is stated, iiWell, we needed a girl. Any girl, it seems, would do. Thanks a lot. Basically, girls here are still girls at a boys school, rather than coeds at an instutition. This has its rewards; this has its trials. Life here is hard but not impossible. Itls tough for both males and females. The sex-spe- Cific differences are diniinishing-what remain are the problems of being a young adult at- tem ting to make the way through under- gra uate life. It is a lot better than last year.

There was the Acllnissions Squabble, the Battle to save Downe House from MacDonalds, the Biology 201 an the Covemment 252 controversies, and the proposals to revise the Honor Code and the structure and composition of the University Senate. The most interestin aspect of the way things are happening at Wes eyan is the state of mind of the place. The uncertainty of the future wei heavily on all, from the President to the fre an. Deciding to cut an academic pro- gram may seem a lot heavier than trying to de- cide whether to take Humanities or one of the Freshmen English seminars, but whoever made or makes these decisions takes a large amount of time in so doing. It could be that this year saw the birth of a Wesleyan that can be best described as in- trospective. After the olden years of the six- ties, when everything ooked amazingly rosy, the new Wesleyan is tryin to come to grips with herself, her faculty, er administration, and her students. T ing to cope with the enormous problems ofrzeeping the cost of a col- lege education to a level where her cherished diversity of students can be maintained, whe is also searchin for some way to continue to move forwar in the educational field. How- ever, the days when one simply said, uLetls do this, seem to be past. Now, people say, iiWouldnlt it be nice if we could do this? What will it entail? How much will it cost? Can it be done a different way? People at Wesleyan tend to investigate problems until their eyes fall out. Then they start the whole process again.

Campbell May 24, 1972 Uhe emphasis of this Couuuencement day has been on celebration and on ceremony. The celebration has reflected the music, fellowship, and informality which have marked your years at XVesleyan. The ceremony has served as a re- minder that a venerable institution has pro- 56 f vided the setting for the free development of your skills, your personal styles, and your sense of urpose. fist as there are contrasts in the activities of this day, there have been contrasts in your Uni- versity experience. Although it would be more than a little pre- tentious to say that iiyou have seen it all? you surely have witnessed, and experienced, dra- matic shifts in moodefrom anger, rooted in the knowledge of pervasive injustices evident to anyone who is able to see our society for what it is; to hope, nurtured by a spirit of community, a coming together to help erase those injustices; t0 frustration, brought on by a seeming in- abi ity to make any progress in improving the human condition. These emotionS-and in recent weeks par- ticularly, the sense of frustration-have been ex- perienced by many of us. But for me your cere- mony ends with a feeling of optimism- confidence that there are enough of you, and enough others like you, who will not give up. You have shown, through your scholarly achievement, your service activities, and your creative energies that you have the capacity and the will to move society. Your total ex- Ferience at Wesleyan permits us to look to you or sustained effort toward the resolution of see- mingly insoluble problems. Your open, search- ing minds, generosity of spirit, and keen in- te lect make all of us-your parents, your colleagues in learning-proud and hopeful. And we wish you well. COLIN G.

College. Memories linger with thoughts of that first girl, asking her up for the next weekend, then getting the royal shaft dur- ing the ensuing Bowdoin football game. Everyone knows that dear old Wes has un- dergone a vital change. Sometimes it seems scary as places as well as people change. In- stead of staring at any female seen Wednesday night at McConaughy, now there,s the Coins any night of the week; no more Fall House or Spring Prom, lost in the haze of McLaughlins and Sha Na Nas and Byrds and Hot Tunas; a donut concession has become the new meeting point for bleary-eyed students, replacing the beloved booths 0f Rookies twhich hasnft been quite the same without Vinniet. Fred,s Package Store folded but the horror of no more liquor gave way to greater ingenuity. tAfter all, Wes goes after brains nowD No one knows what happened to Carl Russo the cleaner but, wher- ever he is, Illl bet he,s wearing a wash tn, wear shirt! Co-education has taken hold of every facet of life at Wesleyan and I suppose the only way for a senior to recognize the situation is to think back to freshman year, the last days of Wesleyan as a bastion of male supremacy. We were a weekend school, no different from any- one else-but now everyone seems in search of the Ultimate Party.-Grapevines seem to have sprouted all over as the rumor mills feed on the increased activities among the sexes. Eyes seem to be everywhere, even in the remotest corner of the Science Center. To feed this greater ac- tivity, there are more movies, concerts, liquor, speakers and dope. Tastes have run the gamet from Butterfly back in ,68 to an Mahavishnu in ,72. Enough already! The picture seems clear: Wes seems to run the gamut from Sodomon and Gomorrah to Bavarian Kreme, from ltHow would you like a back rub? to llWant to see my waterbedf'w to ltHow was your Chem. Lab? A senior can only ack up his skateboard and try to make sense 0 it all. S.G. 72 7l 3n this section the 1972 Olla Podrida would like to pay tribute to great people everywhere who have no big medals or titles-only pride- to show for their hard work. May you be hon- ored for what you are and how you have helped other people. This especially includes those people who play a secondary Wesleyan role, helping to make others perform better. Such people at Wesleyan include the security guards who, rain or shine, greet wayward motorists trying to find administrative offices. Fre- quently, a sub-freshmen,s first introduction to Wesleyan comes through these men. In addi- tion men, tribute should be paid to those hun- dreds of secretaries who help faculty, students and administrators perform their tasks; the per- sonnel of building and grounds; the cooks, jani- tors and housekeepers. Last, there are the train- ers and infirmary staff who frequently must play iimotherii to the student. It was fitting that one of these people, Steve Witkowski, was honored this year. May this fine man-and all those who embody his quali- ties-be lauded in these excerpts taken from let- ters sent to Steve by his friends . . . iiSteve was my Mother-Away-from-Home, a man with an almost paternal interest in all his boys. He is a powerful moral force in our society through his ability to teach virtue through his own example . . . I thank you tStevel for your care in repair- ing my injuries but most of all your good bits of advice and counseling. Your nurse-maiding, kidding and prodding urged us to extend our- selves beyond what we thought were our own limitations both in sports and life in general . . . Don,t give him my regards, give him my love and appreciation for playing an important and kind role in my life at Wesleyan? We, too, who have known Steve thank him-and all oth- ers like him-for their help and friendship. 72 Security-Walt Frechette W Registrar's Oflice-Lois Poissant, Verna Ellam Davidson Infinnary Staff suaqdlueg sq: Public Relations-Maggie Davis 73 74 blsuuuH suID-A'mwnos tzdag ?,ltrainer for forty years at Wesleyan, Steve Witkowski has recollected some of the changes he has witnessed. He feels that athletes today are less quick to accept discipline, too easily discouraged and more occupied with extra-cur- ricular activities other than sports than they were years ago. Consequently, less students go out for sports and less students develop the close trainer-athlete rapor they once did. Steve feels this trend was in part due to the dropping of required physical education. Fewer students are now willing to be anything less than a var- sity starter. Thus, many students have forsaken athletics. Steve sees this rejection of athletics as dampening a studentys possible development for ttathletics help students strive for goals and learn to overcome obstacles. Sports teaches people to get along with each other, make sac- rifices, arrive at collective decisions, build friendships and keep the body healthy. The stresses of athletics makes a student better equipped to think for himself and, thus, fre- quently a better student. Steve therefore ad- vises all students to get involved in physical education, to set goals and be prepared to face and overcome obstacles through hard work and sacrifice.

This education was more a social-personal growth, through four years of interaction, than merely a class- room education. All students were affected re- gardless of their life styles. The military recruit- ment issue, student strike, racial problems, rise 77 in drugs, changing hair and clothes styles were all part of our four-year experience. The mere necessity to make decisions and interact on a campus of such high mental activity and aware- ness amon st many interesting faculty, adminis- trators ang students was the greatest teacher. With as diversified and liberal a school as is ah vallmgz- pillar- ! 4.. lam: ,5 :3, A4 ,- Ha Wesleyan, there were too many paths for one person to pursue in only four years. We each chose our own route making friends along the way. Tedjous lectures, being ill-prepared for seminars, llall-nighters,,, being academically be- hind, inane mixers and bad dates will be re- membered as well as the stimulating classes and teachers, the memorable social functions and successes that composed a llWesleyan ex- perience, that we were told about four years ago at freshmen orientation. Learning to give and take, become less naive, define and pursue lgjoals, build self-confidence, judge character and mild friendships were all essential elements of this education. As each of us thus looks back on our years at Wesleyan, we will judge Wesleyan by what we made of it and not necessarily by the experiences we endured. Wesleyan helped us to row and for this, we should all be gratehf IR. ,72 79 . . 1.4.3.1 H- at is difficult in a few lines to try to give my perspective on the four years of the Class of 1972 at Wesleyan. As we all know, it was a very trying period for all of us. From an alumni relations standpoint it was probably one of the most difficult periods in Wesleyan,s history because of the impact of campus tensions 0n alumni attitudes. However, the resolution of some very difficult problems on campus and the ?neral change in attitude during the past year as had a very positive ef- fect. I have been especially pleased with the warm and friendly response of alumni all over the country to President Campbellts leadership. One of the most gratifying recollections I have of the past four years has been the reaction of alumni to the series of ttrap sessions which we inaugurated last year in an effort to improve understanding between undergraduates and alumni. Several members of the Class of ,72 86 have Earticipated in these sessions and I have been elighted with the impact they have made on our alumni. What has probably been one of the most en- couraging aspects of our alumni relations in re- cent years has been the fact that our recent graduates, despite the tension-filled days of their undergraduate period, have turned out to be very interested and involved alumni. In tele- thons, at alumni club meetings, and campus meetings of Alumni Council Committees, the yomlg alumna and alumnus has been very much in evidence and participating. My own contacts with members of the Class of 72 suggests that this trend will continue, and makes me realize that the ttVVesleyan of Iecent years may leave as stlong a legacy of attachment between the alumni and theil college as was the case in some of Wesleyalfs quieter years. Bill Wasch-Alumni Relat. 87 88 89 90 During their four-, sometimes five years here, unique and sometimes very special rela- tionships grow between our office and the stu- dents we are able to help through the red tape of grades, transcripts and records. We learn a lot from students, are sometimes surprised, sometimes too busy to pay any attention. We share in many of their academic joys and prob- lems, laughs and frowns. Though students usually approach us purely for business, we have particularly enjoyed friendly chats to bring down the social wall stu- dents often create for the administrative office. Too often we know a student only through his transcript. Likewise, we feel students often know us only as iithe people who keep my records? Like the other administrative oHices, the Registrars Oche is interested and con- cerned about students. We enjoy following a studenfs four years as do the faculty. This er- sonal contact makes our jobs more rewar ing. To the seniors, we say it has been a pleasure as- sisting you and good luck. To you other stu- dents, we bid you make yourselves at home when Visiting us. Registrafs Office 91 92 94 95 Without being overly self-righteous, I believe that the Class of 1972 is unique in a way in which few classes of the recent past have been, or few Classes of the near future will be. Every class has its own character, and to that degree it is unique, but every class has not been able to View a Wesleyan which has transformed itself as much as Wesleyan has in the four years of our stay here. Although he was never uour president, we were and are familiar with Vic Butterfield. We know that, in the eyes of many, Wesleyan is tithe house that Butterfield built? Our fresh- man year, when Abe Ribicoff paid tribute to his grand old friend, iiVic Butterworthfi we knew enough to react appropriately. We watched Ted Ethrington confront academic freedom and racism and then raduate to the sobering realities of the outsici world. And we have been here while Colin Campbell has begun to shape his Wesleyan. In four years we have seen three Wesleyans, each struggling to retain the strengths of its predecessors and discard, if pos- sible, the weaknesses. Although prone to romanticizing, I also be- lieve that the Class of 1972 is the last of a breed, in part a national one, but more so one nurtured in Middletown. The three classes pre ceding us created situations which we were compelled to accept or reject. Military recruit- ment was an issue which affected every student personally; one either occupied the presidents office or one did not. There was no waiting room. The so-called racial tension of three years ago compelled everyone to be introspective: it was a tension which was productive. As a class we have seen a psychedelic and sometimes sy- cheholic Wesleyan. Some participated, ot ers did not; but all were witnesses. F inally, as a class we have observed the arri- val 0f womankind. Although the seventeen women who were enrolled freshman year have multiplied many times over, many of us still look at Wesleyan as a male school.

Outstanding individual performances were matched by exciting and meaningful team achievements. Little Three Championships were won by the basketball and swim- ming teams as they both compiled excellent records. New teams represented Wesleyan in girls field hockey, tennis and crew. The hockey team, in its first formal year of competition, had an impressive 12-7 record including a first Little Three win over Amherst. The comfort of the new rink and the excellent play of the team attracted large crowds of students, faculty and townspeople to home games. A most gratifying turnabout was made by the baseball team as it rebounded from three disastrous seasons to post a 10-5 record. Football, wrestling and la- crosse, despite an unusual number of injuries to regular participants, provided strong opposition to very talented opponents. Soccer and golf were very consistent in rank- ing high in New England ratings. The tennis team came within one match of winning its Hrst Little Three title in twenty-five years as they ended in a three-way tie, after losing to Amerst 4-5 and defeating Williams 5-2. A larger track squad provided representation in all events but the lack of a super star who could insure 10-15 points was the major reason for a 1-5 record and the loss of the Little Three title. The squash team had a 5-12 record but one must consider it was one of the more ambitious schedules in recent history. The crew also engaged in a highly com- petitive schedule but slipped to second and third finishes. Rugby attracted some sixty competitors and a group of students engaged in four water polo matches. The basketball team, its coaches and spectators re- ceived the ugood sportsmanship award for the New England area for the third year in a row as chosen and presented by the basketball officials. Marion Stoj, 74, was named to the College Division All-American Soccer Team. Brian Hersey,s fine play at center allowed him to retain his position for the third year on the All-New England Football Team. He was also named as a Scholar-Athlete Award Winner by the regional chapter of the Hall of Fame. Jim Akin was named to the All-New England Basketball team and played in the All-Star game; in addition, jim was named to the All-American Academic team. Jim,s fellow athletes voted him as the recipient of the Ahrens Award. John Gay received the Maynard Award as Wesleyanys top Scholar-Athlete. Dave Bong represented Wesleyan in the Nationals in wrestling, and Art Wein, Larry Men- delowitz, Glen Petersen and Bill Quigley competed in the NCAA swimming championships. Jack Burns was a member of the Lacrosse All-Star Team, and Pete Hicks was one of the countrys leading hitters in college baseball. Cary Burnett won the Con- necticut College Golf Championship and played in the NCAA Tournament. The Class of ,72 has played a key role in the recent en- joyable athletic years at Wesleyan. -D0n Russell 138 lst: Crockowski, Medwid, Lee, Bloustein, Plato, Mekeel, Selesky, Kostacopoulos 211d: Moore, Glendon, Dwyer.

Hapke ll'esleyan Volunteers U he Wesleyan Volunteers is a student run operation designed to do two things. First of all, it is an educational experience for the volun- teers, who learn about people in situations they have often never encountered before. Second, it is a program that helps individuals, and the commimity, with the particular needs that they have. The volunteers work with all kinds of people in all kinds of situations: people who are old and who are young, black people and white people, people in schools, hospitals, reforma- tories, prisons, and in their own homes. There are only two limits on the work we do. The first is interest on the part of the student volunteers. The second is enough volunteers to do the job. The volunteers ive a few hours a week, with- out pay or merit, to many different types of prc'ivirams and activities. 6 diversity of needs in the community and Wide range of areas in which Wesleyan students get involved can be shown by the number and variety of programs we run. The different pro- grams and areas are: bi brothers and sisters mam 4-H tAMY-Aid to MiddletOWn Youthy 148 schools prisons and reform schools Connecticut Valley Hospital tpsychiatric hospitall Middlesex Memorial Hospital Legal Aid We have an active big brothers and sisters program that works in conjunction with the Middletown Big Brothers. Urban 4-H, which has no conjimction with national 4-H at all tnor any similarityl, is like big brothers in groups. Each group leader has a group of six to eight children between 6 and 14. The group and its leader plan activities that they all are interested in, from basketball games to making puppets. This program has been very popular with many kids in the past, sometimes involving as many as 150 of them at one time. The kids who partici- Eate are usually those who normally would not ave an opportunity to do the things their groups are doing. Volunteers in the schools may help in a vari- ety of ways. They may spend their time with a few particular kids who need extra attention or they may work with half the class while the teacher works with the other half. Volunteers this year have worked in classes ranging from kindergarten through the ninth grade. Some have worked in special programs as well; for ex- ample, the retarded children,s classes and the English as a Second Language program. Students who work in the Connecticut Val- ley Hospital often serve as companions to indi- Peter Cross 61 Mike Donnelly-Big Brothers vidual patients with whom they spend a few hours a week Visiting. The good this does the Fatients, who frequently look forward to a visit or days, is remarkable considering the small amount of time and effort required. There are also specialty workers in arts and crafts who help patients with particular projects. Middlesex Hospital uses student volunteers in quite a variety of activities, from the laboratory to the emergency room to the geriatrics ward. In the past this program has been one of the most popular ones. It has attracted both pre- med students and non-science majors alike. The program in the prisons and reform schools has been small this year. Those who have worked have served as companions for the children in one reform school and have worked with the legal aid volunteers to try to improve conditions in prisons. The two biggest problems we face as a stu- dent group are organization and recruitment. Organizing is always difficult at the beginning of the year because students are busy trying to set up their own schedules and school lives. Of- ten we are several weeks into the semester by the time we get going. This leads to the prob- lem of not having enough volunteers. Although more than 75 students participated this year, more could have been used. There is a large need in this community, as in most others, for volunteers to spend a little time with people who need help. Most of the volunteers who participate in one or more of the programs feel that this work is some of the most important, educational, and satisfying work that they do at Wesleyan. There is no credit or pay involved; there are no prizes or awards given. The only reward that comes from this kind of work is the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping other people. For most of the volunteers, this is enough.

As a result, the sco e of this yearbook is much wider; the pictures and the layout much etter. Likewise, the pictures are bi er and subtle themes for continuity were introduced in response toggirmer suggestions. More seniors than in any previous yearbook are represented. This pro$1ress is due to the experiences of 1971 and from the great help of p otographers Debbie Hunt, Bernie Craw- rode, Dennis Chin, Bill Mook, Jon Berk, Herman White, Bob Baratt, Gary Cans, Wayne Barber, Bob Hoshibata, Bob Kossack, Steve Gold- schmidt, Debbie Thomas and Lance Orentzel. Special tribute for their help should be given to Richard L. Green, Dick Greene, Public Relations, the Treasureris Office, Rufus Nickens and Jim Findley 0f Bradbury-Keller. Though even greater help from students and com- mittees and an editor with greater photographic skills could have achieved more, I feel this 1972 011a Podrida is a iibook that summons up the past,,, that iiholds some of the beautiful, the gay and the odd,, as its opening poem predicts. F rom an editoris personal standpoint of view, after two Wesleyan yearbooks, this has been a real education between learning photogra- phy, sellin ads and building layouts. It has been rewarding capturing many of t ose special moments for you. Hopefully, the 1973 011a Podrida will take even greater strides from the start made in 1971 so that the Olla Podrida will always be a cherished momento of a few short years at Wesleyan. John E.
