Wesleyan University - Olla Podrida Yearbook (Middletown, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1976 volume:

Gee, it's1976. A lot of us have been waiting a long time for this time to roll around. America is where we are right now, and America must be un- derstood by each individual, in order to keep America beautiful. This book is an attempt to deal with some of what America means for me, and I hope that this doesntt offend too many of you. It might. Frank Zappa, pictured above in concert, has had a lot to say about America in his recording career. Sometimes people in institutions like Wesleyan frown on the statements that musicians like Frank Zappa and George Clinton make about America, or about life in general. I think that there is a lot of relevance in what they have to say, and Wesleyan graduates should certainly have the intellectual discipline to learn from them, even if they donit agree. I have. This yearbook was a large undertaking for the few of us that had the interest, and stuck with it. There wasntt one last year, and that is really a shame. The Class of '76 is in a very special position to comment upon America, and if we are to live thoughtful and useful lives after Wesleyan, we better realize how America can eat its Young. We are the future, and our confidence in this country is essential not only for our peace of minds, but for our children too. Peace. LCJ-Editor tH.N.I.Ci Senate Unit.

I 9 a I To The Class Of 1976: I would like to state my appreciation to the Class of 1976 for the enjoyment l have derived from working with you. It is rare that an indi- vidual has the opportunity to be associated with such an intelligent, energetic and enthu- siastic group of people. I have enjoyed work- ing with you as individuals and as a group. The variety of contact that live had with the Class over the past two years has provided me with a valuable perspective on Wesleyan and in- sight into the student view of things. I am sorry that I did not get to know more of you. As you leave Wesleyan I wish you the best of luck in your chosen fields. I hope each of you can sustain, in your own lives, the spirit and quality that the Class has generated during its four years at Wesleyan. Best Wishes tin? Karl M. Furstenberg WE WERE PART OF THE NEW WESLEYAN We were not a strike class; we had no unifying Dead concert; we had all the seriousness of ac- ademic purpose that Bob Kirkpa- trick could ever have asked for. Its true that the classes of 74 and 75 were not exactly the Old Wesleyan either. But at least they knew some of the old people. Most of us didn't even have that. It didn't happen all at once. The ending of the war and the draft, but BA glut and the reces- sion all contributed to a sort of generational about-face. At Wes- leyan, Hoyls Revenge punc- tuated the end of the 1960's ad- mission policy: unconven- tionality qua unconventionality wouldn't get you in anymore. It might not keep you out, but the tuning was definitely pro-squid. But despite all these changes at Wesleyan and across the na- tion, we were not a reactionary Class. Older students may have looked askance at our compara- tive straghtness, but we did not represent a return to the Beach Boys era. Thank God. However much we may have trended away from the counter- culture, we were e and are e a progressive group of people. The main difference, is that with our class, the liberal values of the sixties had become, in a way, in- stitutionalized. It wasnt that antiwar activities stopped a they just became common-place. Liberal and radi- cal politices became less con- troversial than the Ministry. Ac- tivism was expected. Volunteers from our class and others helped put George McGovern over the top in Middletown freshman year. Members of our class were active in the nationwide student impeachment drive. The forma- tion of such organizations as the Wesleyan Indochina Information Committee, the Committee for Environmental Awareness, the Food Project, Hermes, and the other components of the Pro- gressive Student Coalition in- dicated that political con- sciousness had become endemic here. This kind of ferment was not as evident on other cam- puses in New England, or else- i, where.

She is also quite friendly with furs. and the fur business is booming. Among all items of outer wear, furs this year are ex- pected to show the largest percentage increase in doilar sales, outperforming almost every other big-ticket con- sumer item. , It is difficult to explain why fur coats and fur jackets are selling so well. Prices are higher than a year ago. Con- servationists have been dis- couraging the sale of any type of fur as well as those from endangered species of animals. And the trend to- ward casual clothing would seem to dampen the sales of garments made of mink, sable or lynx. Yet the demand is greater than at any time in the last 25 years There appear to be many people to whom cost is not the main consideration. Retailers will sell an esti- mated $525 million of gar- ments in 1975. compared with $441 million in 1974 and $460 million in 1973. The total of fur sales, how- ever, is considerably below that of 1949, the record year, when $550 million in furs were sold. Fred Goldin of the Goldin- Feldman Company, one of the largest manufacturers in the country, said his business was ahead this year by more than 25 per cent. The way furs are' selling, he said, indicates a return to dress-up psychology. This has been evident in many parts of the country, and par- ticularly in Southern Cali- fornia where furs are worn only at night, Mr. Goldin said that every wholesaler in the business was doing better this year than in 1974. The booming demand, he said, has changed the nature of the business. In former years, a large volume of fur garments Was sold on a consignment basis. Retailers would take them with the understanding that items not sold could be retumed to the manufacturer. This practice has virtually been abandoned. Mr. Goldin said, and retailers not willing to make a firm commitment no longer get any merchan- Contlnued 3n Page754, Column 8, 11..
