ALUMNI TRAVEL PROGRAM 1978-79

This special travel program, to some of the mostinteresting areas in the world, has been especiallydesigned for alumni of Harvard, Yale, Princeton,M.I.T., Cornell, Dartmouth, Univ. of Penn-sylvania and certain other distinguished univer-sities and for members of their families. It is con-sciously planned for persons who normally preferto travel independently, and covers lands andregions where such persons will find it ad-vantageous to travel with a group.

The itineraries are designed for the intelligenttraveler, and offer an in- depth view of historicplaces, ancient civilizations, archeological sitesand artistic treasures, as well as interesting and far-flung cultures of the present day and spectacularscenery from virtually the four corners of theglobe. The programs are, however, also planned toincorporate generous amounts of leisure time andto avoid unnecessary regimentation so as to pre-serve as much as possible the freedom of individ-ual travel, while utilizing the savings and the prac-tical convenience which group travel can offer.

Considerable savings have been obtained by using special reduced faresoffered by the world's leading scheduled airlines, fares which are general-ly available only to groups or in conjunction with a qualified tour andwhich offer savings of as much as $500 and more over normal air fares. Inaddition, special group rates have been obtained from hotels and sightsee-ing companies. By combining these savings with a careful selection of thefinest available hotels and facilities, it is possible to offer travel ar-rangements of the highest standard at moderate and economical cost.

Cornell Alumni News April 1978

Where Did We Go from Here

Two Cornellians recently did some think-ing about alumni and their relationship tothe university and university people. Theresults are here.

Margaret Condon '68 was a news writerfor the university from 1971-76, and is nowa graduate student in clinical psychologyat the University of Michigan. Carson Carris also a former university employe, work-ing first in minority student recruitmentand then in student services in the Engi-neering school, 1969-72. He is finishing adoctorate in educational management atSyracuse University.

[Reckonings]

As a child growing up in a household ofCornellians in the late '50s I would oftenthumb through a newly-arrived copy of theCornell Alumni News while waiting to becalled to the family dinner table. Of espe-cial interest were the Class Notes, althoughthe placement of this personal accountssection toward the back of the Newsseemed, even then, a bit ominous and dis-concerting, as if these snippets of real adultlives were less important than the lead ar-ticles.

Disconcerting, too, were the occasionalsmall snapshots of the retired Dr. and Mrs.Class of, say, '08: he dressed in kneesocksand she in a cotton print, both squintingfrom beneath straw hats as they embarkedon a cruise ship bound for Bermuda. Un-able to imagine their children, perhapsClass of '37, or their grandchildren my age,I would head straight for MEN '39 (myfather's class) and WOMEN '40 (mymother's class) in search of shreds of in-formation or gossip that might give someinsight into the two Cornellians I wonderedmost about—my parents.

Ultimately, I learned little from thosehungry searches for parental doings exceptthat while the names and dates changed,the life events prompting adults to corre-spond publicly with their classmates re-mained surprisingly the same: promotions,accreditations, relocations, marriages and

offspring, street addresses, and businesstitles.

In truth, I was hoping these reports ofparental classmates would tell me all aboutCornell life before I was born, revealing thepersons my parents had been when theywere BMOCs, wearing saddle shoes, ormaking cupcakes in Home EC.

Rather than giving answers, the ClassNotes section seemed to raise more ques-tions about the how and why of grown-upbehavior. There, like a warp to the woof ofthe personal notes, ran another unex-plained drama: Class Reunions. Whatsense is a 10-year-old to make of groupportraits of men and women wearingblazers and class numerals, all dressedalike, standing close together, smiling infront of a row of bleachers? Banners an-nounced their 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th re-union in numbers signifying time periodsunimaginably beyond the grasp of a 10-year-old mind that firmly knows recordedhistory really only began when she wasborn.

Even more confusing was the fact theolder Cornellians became, the closer theirclass Notes to the front of the section, sothat the numbers announcing class yeargrew smaller and smaller—'15, '10,ΌO—only to disappear entirely! Beginningsand endings became terribly mixed up.

Fortunately the call to wash for dinnerwould come just at the moment I wasfeeling swamped by a mystery even morepuzzling than adulthood: a sense of thepassage of time.

Imagine, then, my feeling of disbeliefwhen I reached into my own mailbox notlong ago to retrieve, in the midst of bills anda personal letter or two, an efficient whitebusiness envelope with "Class of '68 10thYear Reunion" as its return address.Surely not my 10th reunion!

Gone in a moment all those perplexedmeanderings through the News beforesupper; gone, too, four years as an under-graduate; gone now another chunk oftime—a decade since graduation. Insteadof the News I held an envelope from some

Somewhere in Washington, DC lives awell-intentioned tenth-year Reunionchairman who asked his classmates fortheir enthusiastic turnout come June, fora suitable number of volunteers to organizeReunion picnics, Bloody Mary breakfasts,and chartered bus rides around the localstate parks. Does he, or the Alma Mater,realize that what they mail in bulk ship-ments is delivered into our hands as morethan an invitation, more than a solicitation,more than a renewed opportunity for ex-changing anecdotes and addresses?

[Help When Needed]

On the weekend of last June 4, more than200 Cornell alumni returned to campus fora social get-together. This might sound likeany other reunion but it wasn't; it was anhistoric occasion. This was a reunion ofblack graduates. Most were from theClasses of'74 and '75. Most had come frompoor families and relied on large scholar-ships, grants, and loans to make it throughfour years of college. Although a numberwere now graduate students, lawyers, en-gineers, architects, industrialists, agricul-tural specialists, hotel managers, businesspersonnel, and other professionals, it wasrewarding to observe that many othersworked in social service fields.

The number of black Cornell graduatesat this reunion was especially startling ifone realizes that fewer than 200 blackstudents attended Cornell in all the yearsbetween 1868, when Cornell opened itsdoors, and 1965. As early as 1905, 9 blackswere attending the university, but as lateas 1964, only 20 blacks, some of whomwere Africans, were matriculated as un-dergraduates. The striking increase since1965 in the number of black undergradu-ates is due to the advent of COSEP, theCommittee on Special EducationalProjects.

Since 1965, under the umbrella ofCOSEP, more than 2,000 black Americansand other ethnic minorities have enteredthe university as undergraduate students.Most of the minority students acceptedbetween 1965-1969 were highly qualifiedapplicants; they had respectable SATscores, had been enrolled in college pre-paratory programs, and had received goodgrades in high school.

In 1969, the black students already atCornell were legitimately concerned thatnot enough economically handicappedstudents were being encouraged to apply tothe university. Knowing that this educa-tional institution offered the poor a chanceto break out of this vicious condition, blackstudents demanded the hiring a black ad-missions counselor. I was hired to fill thejob, and assumed responsibility for re-cruiting and overseeing the selection pro-cess for more minority students.

After only two weeks to become familiarwith the complexity of the university andits diverse curriculum, I hit the road insearch of potential students. This was thefirst genuine attempt by the university toseek applicants who were economically andeducationally deprived—truly "risk"

candidates according to traditional collegeadmissions standards—as well as thosewho met the standards.

For the next eight weeks, my agendaincluded visiting seventy-five high schoolsin fourteen cities. In addition to workingwith high school counselors and blackCornell student recruiters, I sought theassistance of Cornell alumni from theSecondary School Committees who have

traditionally assisted the university Ad-missions Office with interviewing candi-dates.

Sensitive to the goal of offering educa-tional and career opportunities to minorityyoungsters, these members respondedbeautifully. In each city, I was helped tre-mendously by different committee mem-bers. I never had to worry about transpor-tation and accomodations, and my ap-pointments with high school counselors andstudents were completed without difficulty.Often, the Cornell alumnus stayed in con-tact with those students who were potentialCornell candidates and helped arrange forthem to visit the university campus.

During the fall semester of 1969 and thefall semester of 1970, more than 1,400students applied to Cornell throughCOSEP, and close to 500 minority stu-dents, mostly blacks, entered the university.Recalling the admissions records of these500 students reveals that about one-thirdwere academically talented students, onethird were fair applicants, and one thirdwere "risk" students who didn't meet therequired admissions standards but haddemonstrated qualities of strong leadershipand had received strong alumni endorse-ments.

Many fine people aided in these earlyminority recruitment efforts. To namesome runs the risk of overlooking others,but I vividly remember in particular JohnPerry '41, Jack Schuerger '57, DavidRoberson, MST '65, Ralph Deeds '57, thelate Howard Joseph '33, Grace O'DareKimball '41, Rertni Shuter '58, C. J. B.Macmillan '57, and Robert Storandt '40.These Cornellians are special people to mebecause they lent their moral support to myextensive minority recruiting efforts at atime when other alumni were questioningthe educational goals of the black studentsat Cornell and criticizing them for theWilliard Straight takeover.

In spite of this pressure, these dedicatedpeople retained their high expectations ofminority students and supported minorityapplications. As a result of this impact byCornell alumni, the university was able tofulfill its commitment to increasing mi-nority enrollment, and those black studentswho entered the university in 1970 and1971 were able to break from the social andeconomic cycles of poverty.

CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS

In recalling particular accomplishmentsof alumni, several instances come to mind.In one, I visited Harrisburg, Pennsylvaniato interview a young woman for admission,Jack Schuerger had arranged this trip.Both of us were very enthusiastic about theapplicant, but after the interview found outthat, although the student was a goodschool citizen and was involved in manyschool organizations, her high schoolcounselor, without justification, had givenher a poor college recommendation. Jackand I decided to give our full support to herapplication, she entered Cornell, gradu-«ated, and is now a registered nurse.

Robert Storandt, director of universityadmissions, always visited deprived highschools in the deep South. I rememberonce, after he had visited Huntsville, Ala-bama, he met a student from an economi-cally deprived background who he thoughtwas a good candidate for admission. Thestudent had been an innocent bystander toa crime and had as a consequence beenharassed by his school administration eversince, including during the admissionsprocess. Storandt said he wanted to give thestudent a chance for college even if he hadto use one of his wild cards (a system usedin the past to accept a few students re-gardless of the decision of college selectioncommittees). Because of Storandt's per-severence, this student was accepted, andwent on to earn a Cornell degree in gov-ernment.

John Perry had a faith in all youngpeople stronger than any I had experi-enced. Although he would take me to visitand recruit in the better schools in Pitts-burgh, he would always take me as well toone high school which represented every-thing that a school shouldn't be. It was lo-cated in an economically deprived neigh-borhood, where students received no en-couragement from home, school, or com-munity; most students dropped out of highschool and few ever applied to college.Perry wanted very much to provide someof these students with the opportunity toenter Cornell, but the high school's coun-selor resisted us. For all our efforts, noneapplied, though this did not discourageJohn.

In recruiting in Chicago, the late How-ard Joseph and David Roberson teamed upto establish a COSEP interviewing systemthat provided a national model. Howarddidn't hesitate to take me into some of theroughest high schools in the city to talkwith students about the possibility of at-tending Cornell.

He and David carefully described to thestudents a complete picture of the univer-sity and discussed how important a collegedegree was. Howard frequently arrangedcareer nights for high school students to

of women earning advanced degreesdeclined until 1960 and then began onceagain to increase. The enrollment ofwomen in Cornell's Graduate Schoolhas only recently surpassed the levelattained in 1930 and women now com-prise approximately 26 per cent of thetotal. Of those earning doctoral degreeseach year, 13-15 per cent are women. Asmore women now strive to reach the topof the academic ladder, there are otherhopeful indications of change. A wom-an, Alison Casarett, serves as associatedean of the Graduate School. That mar-riage could be combined with graduateeducation was dramatized in 1973 whena husband and wife, the first in Cornellhistory, received thier doctorates simul-taneously.

There continue to be barriers forwomen in graduate education. Contraryto the available evidence indicating thatthe woman who earns an advanced de-gree is more likely than others to be anactive participant in the labor force,many people continue to assume thatwomen students will marry and discon-tinue their professional plans. Womenare handicapped by the lack of encour-agement throughout the educationalsystem for the development of skills

needed for a career in science. Mostvital at Cornell is the lack of a supportsystem for women graduate students.Such a system is dependent uponwomen members of the faculty. Femalegraduate students need to interact withsuccessful academic women and to se-cure their guidance. Contradicting theassumed impact of affirmative actionlegislation, the proportion of women onthe Cornell faculty has increased from6.1 per cent in 1971 to only 8.8 per centin 1977. In many areas of the university,there are no women faculty to provideneeded support and inspiration.

Three hundred years have elapsedsince the Cornaro achieved distinctionas Matrix et Doctrix Philosophiae. Theneed remains great for other committedwomen scholars to follow her exampleand for enthusiastic encouragement bythe university of female scholarship.

Also

Debate goes on within most institutions— educational and otherwise — about

how much of the institution's businessshould be discussed in public. And there'ssurely no way of settling such debates.But we have always been interested thaton an openness scale of 1 to 10, Cornellalways seems to rate up around 11 or 12.That is, there are few secrets on the Hill.

This lends a tremendous air of untidi-ness to the place. As an example, for de-cades the University Faculty has had areputation for being tough on adminis-trators — reluctant to accept guidance,and quick to go public with its com-plaints. In addition, an aggressive studentpress has over the years amplified discus-sions of all manner of university business.

This was all brought to mind by aphone call and brief note from ElmerMeyer, the dean of students, in the wakeof our coverage in the University depart-ment of the contention that students wereunder a great deal of academic and otherpressure last fall ("The Subject Was Pres-sure," February issue).

"Read your piece on pressure — goodcapsule. You might be interested in at-tached," he wrote, enclosing a studentopinion survey on "The Fears and Appre-hensions of Cornell Freshmen," which I'lldiscuss a bit later.

"Also had a long talk with a man fromChicago Public Broadcasting Station,"he continued, "who was amazed at all theinterest, openness, and sensitivity wehave on this campus compared to most ofsome forty other major universities hehad contacted! He gave me examples ofcover-up, lack of interest, etc. Nice tohear it especially since we often worrywe're not concerned enough!"

The reporter told Meyer in particularthat many schools contend they had nosuicides among their student bodies,when the reporter knew the contrary to becase.

The study that Meyer sent along wasdone by five undergraduates last fall aspart of a statistics course. They asked 200of this year's 2,075 freshmen what pres-sures they felt under.

Freshmen were asked: "Do you feelthat you have to maintain a good averageto satisfy your parents?" ". . .to competewith your peers?" " . . . to satisfy your-self?" " . . . for postgraduate studies oroccupation?" They could check "no pres-sure," "slight pressure," or "much pres-sure" for each.

Among the conclusions the studentsdrew from the results: "We found thatmost people felt some degree of .pressureto maintain a good grade point average.The student felt the greatest pressurefrom within himself; 57 per cent indicatedmuch pressure to satisfy himself and 40per cent felt slight pressure.

$230 million. But we still need your help. In fact, with just two and ahalf years left in the Campaign, we need you more than ever before.

Much of the first $100 million came from a few very large gifts, andmore are expected. But most of the next $130 million will depend oneach and every one of Cornell's many alumni and friends, stretching tothe limit. Your support is not just needed, it is essential if we are toreach our Campaign goal by October 1980.

I could relate many more experiences. Ifeel rich having participated in the process.Too often, ethnic minorities have no accessto higher education. Although in the earlyyears of COSEP minority recruitment,Cornell lacked the support services neededfor many students from economically de-prived backgrounds, the alumni involvedin this recruitment effort had the foresightto realize that these students had survivedthe horrors of poverty and could be suc-cessful academically in a competitivelearning environment if given a chance tosucceed.

Along with the beginning of a COSEPOffice structure in the summer of 1970,meaningful support services were first in-itiated by black students. They saw theneed to assist the large number of incomingminority freshmen, and organized studenttutor-adviser services. In addition, manyCornell professors demonstrated sensitivityto the needs and problems of black studentsand offered extra tutoring and counselingfor this large influx of minority students.

Cultural and social activities at the Af-ricana Studies and Research Center alsoassisted these students, were an integrallearning part of the university, and pro-vided a vehicle for students to maintaintheir cultural roots. Black students joinedtraditional Cornell organizations andbegan some of their own, including theBlack Pre-Law Society, the Black Pre-MedSociety, Black Agriculturalists, and Uja-maa.

Of the minority students admitted in thefalls of 1970 and 1971, more than 65 percent have completed their Cornell workand earned their degree. Considering theadjustment that faced these students sucha high rate is phenomenal. Black studentsattending a predominantly white campuslike Cornell not only have to compete withstudents from middle class and upper-

middle class educational backgrounds, butthey also have to struggle to maintain theirown ethnic identity while surrounded by aculture sometimes quite different fromtheir own.

These words are intended primarily asa tribute to those alumni who have givenmuch energy and support to these students.Many thanks are due to those members ofthe Cornell Secondary School Committeeswho believe that there is room at the topnot only for those who have but also forthose who traditionally have not. I salutethe Perrys, the Deedses, the Storandts, theMitchells, the Robersons, the Josephs, theKimballs, the Shuters, and the Macmil-lans, all who have had the willingness andcourage to help provide a better future forsome ethnic minorities and who were

Feelings about campus trees are intense, asa heavy response to our article on trees inthe November issue proves. One of severalhappy byproducts of that interest has comefrom Mrs. Mary Chandler Marder '73,granddaughter of the late George Rockwell'13. During his lifetime he lavished muchlove on Cornell, particularly on CornellPlantations. He was especially interestedin the outdoors, as part of which he madea collection of photographs of the campus..Now his granddaughter has sent the uni-versity a number of these photographs thatshow an abundance of trees. One gracesthis month's cover, another will be usedlater this spring. We thank Mrs. Marderand, posthumously, her generous grand-father.

Jack Jensen '78 had his first article inour magazine last month, the article on thecampus dog Doofus. This month he's back

Jack started inEngineering, switched to biology, spent aterm hitchhiking around the country, andis now settled into his next to last term asa senior in Agriculture. He is from OakPark, Illinois. An older brother, Jerry, is amember of the Class of '69, and earned anME in '71. Jack rowed for the heavy-weights as a freshman, the 150s as a soph-omore, boxes in a downtown gym, is afourth-year apprentice carpenter, and hasbeen playing rugby for the past two years.He's scrum-half on the Cornell club, andyou'll understand what a scrum-half is ifyou read his article.

A Babcock, For Sure

Editor: In the article on Charles Babcock(December 1977 issue, page 21) it is statedthat he is likely to have been responsible fora church in Owego, New York (amongothers mentioned). You or Ethel Good-stein, author of the Babcock catalogue,may be interested to learn of confirmationon this point.

In Early Owego by L. W. Kingman(published by Owego Gazette Office, 1907;pages 634-644) is an account of St. Paul'sEpiscopal Church. The church was firstbuilt in 1839 and was enlarged in 1850."Further enlargement and improvementswere made in November and December,1856, by builders Ferguson and EbenezerTucker after plans by architect CharlesBabcock, of New York city" (page 636).Some details of the changes are de-scribed.

This church was razed in 1894-1895. Apicture of it was published in the TiogaCounty Gazette and Times on July 13,1977 on page 15.

My purpose in writing this is to recom-mend more of these concerts into "theprovinces" for the Cornell Glee Club istruly a goodwill ambassador. There wasmore than one misty-eyed old grad in theaudience after they finished singing TheEvening Song and the Alma Mater.

Healing

By Lisa SalmonIn all the catalogs of courses at Cornell, thelisting "Human Ecology ID 408, Organi-zations in the Delivery of Goods and Ser-vices" may be the most deceptive. Thetip-off that the course may nQt be as for*bidding as its unwieldy title suggests is thatthe course boasts enthusiastic alumni thatfew others can match.

ID 408 is actually a semester of full-timefield study in Metropolitan New York Cityat the offices of businesses, unions, gov-ernment agencies, and other organizations.Students taking the course are not paid, butamass instead fifteen graduation creditsand an array of professional and personalinsights unattainable in the rarefied con-fines of the campus classroom.

About twenty students take the courseeach spring. Each works three-and-a-halfdays a week at a host office, and meets oneday a week in a seminar to compare andanalyze experiences. The remaining halfday is filled with preparation for the sem-inar and writing papers about organiza-tional concepts based on week-day expe-riences. Course director Timothy Stantoncalls the semester "a real lesson in how tobe an active learner."

Leaders of the field study program per-ceive it to be so different from classroomlearning that they require students to takean introductory course at Ithaca to developsuch skills as understanding organizations,working in groups, gathering informationfrom sources other than libraries, and de-fining problems. This course is usuallytaken in the fall semester of a student'sjunior year.

During the fall, Stanton and four assis-tants begin matching students with po-tential host offices. These offices are withfirms that fall into three groupings: pro-viders of goods and services (retailers, ad-vertisers, manufacturers, and medicalclinics), policy makers and regulators(government and private organizations),and consumer advocates (union and com-munity groups).

In mid-November, Stanton and thestudents meet with the students' potential

supervisors in the city. In December, stu-dents make arrangement to leave campusand find housing near their posts. And asthe spring semester arrives, the students areready to make their debut in the businessworld.

The experiences of three of this year'sseniors who took part last spring illustratehow the program works. Amy Metrokawas placed at the Union of Hospital andHealth Care Employes, District 1199, DonLiff at the Better Business Bureau ofMetropolitan New York, and BarbaraWooten at McCalls Patterns Company.

. It was in Amy Metorka's sophomore yearat the Agriculture college that she decidedshe-didn't want to be a biologist. "I had hadenough of science," she says. "It is a littletoo dry, more of a behind-the-scenes-re-search kind of thing."

In the quest for "more of a broadly basedprogram," Amy transferred to HumanEcology and found the major she was lookfor; a major including classes from twodepartments, community service educationand consumer economics and housing. Itwas "oriented toward government andeconomics," she explains, and might ulti-mately allow her to find a career combiningboth research and service. Still there weremany questions.

Field study was immediately attractiveto Amy. "I looked at it as an opportunity toidentify what kinds of careers were avail-able and what I would be interested indoing," she says. "I knew I would find outwhat I would actually do in particular jobsas opposed to only what I thought I woulddo."

The experience did all Amy hoped itwould. As an "apprentice lobbyist of sorts"for the Union of Hospital and Health CareEmployes, District 1199, she worked withlegislators, union members, and represen-tatives from numerous public interestgroups. She saw first-hand the desirableand undesirable elements of their careers.In addition, she was able to test her ownskills in conducting research, writing tes-

The Manhattan skyline

timony, giving speeches, and directingunion members in special projects.

Two or three days each week, Amy andthe union lobbyist with whom she servedworked at the State Legislature in Albany."First we would meet with public interestadvocates such as the Civil LibertiesUnion, Public Interest Research, Com-munity Services Society, and some of thewomen's movement groups," Amy says,"We would explain our legislative priori-ties, and they would explain theirs. Thenwe would discuss strategy and go as a uni-fied group to show legislators that publicinterest advocates were together on par-ticular issues."

Many of the important lessons for Amythat semester came when she was given theassignment of becoming a specialist on oneissue under discussion in the Legislature:the generic drug issue. The union wasworking to support the passage of a billproviding consumers the right to purchaseless expensive generic drugs rather than thebrand names prescribed by physicians."Many retired union members are on drug

therapy, and so they stood to save a greatdeal of money if the legislation waspassed," Amy says.

Amy's duties included collecting infor-mation about the issue from the Food andDrug Administration in Washington, D.C.,and interest groups across the state and thenation, writing testimony for legislativehearings, exchanging information withother lobbyists, directing union pharma-cists in the compilation of a list of safe andeffective drugs, and informing unionmembers of the progress of the Legisla-ture.

Reporting to union members proved tobe one of the most difficult aspects of herassignment. "It was quite an experiencetalking to two-hundred people at one time,"she says. "I was a student, and they knewit, but they took no mercy on me in wantingto know exactly how that piece of legisla-tion was going to affect them. This was anextremely valuable experience. I learnedthat I can't go into a situation knowingsomething superficially. I had to know itvery well, and I had to anticipate what Iwould be asked so I could respond."

Amy also learned about the power ofinformation. As she gained expertise in thegeneric drug issue, she found legislatorsincreasingly interested in her ideas. "I sawthat the demands upon legislators are sotremendous to know so much about somany issues," she says, "that when theyidentify a person who knows anything at allabout something that can help them makean informed decision, they are very recep-tive."

Through such experiences, Amy says shebecame "fascinated by and attracted to thepolitical process. It's dynamic; it's verychallenging." She began to consider a ca-reer in politics for herself. "But at thispoint, I have mixed feelings about it," shesays. "I saw many legislators frustrated bythe political process with the leadershiphaving a very tight rein over them and theirparties."

As the semester continued, Amy alsobegan to look at labor policy for a possiblecareer. She had developed a great respectfor her union, and had become attracted toits cause. "Many people were surprisedthat a labor union with supposedly narrow

interests was active in public interest ad-vocacy," she says. "But 1199 is a youngunion, and it takes stands. Although it'snational, most of its members are concen-trated in New York. Many members arepoor: they're primarily minorities and 80per cent are women. Union leaders feelcommitted to viewing their members'swell-being wholistically. The generic drugissue was only one of many issues they wereconcerned about."

As the semester ended, Amy says shefound the generic drug issue "the bestpossible issue" she could have been as-signed. "Many groups were interested in it,and many legislators perceived it as oneupon which to build a reputation. Theywere all very enthusiastic about getting thebill passed," she says.

In the end, the bill did pass the Legisla-ture, was signed into law, and Amy tastedthe sweetness of victory. "It is a successstory," she says.

"When you grow up in New York City,you think you know everything. You thinknothing in the world would shock you,"

APRIL 1978 17

Don Liff says. Having been raised inManhattan, heart of the city, Don admitsthat at one time the description fit himwell—so well, in fact, that it made himuncomfortable. "I think I went into fieldstudy actually wanting to be knockeddown, wanting to be surprised," he says.

There were surprises for Don that se-mester. The first came even before he hadenrolled. He thought he knew exactly whyhe wanted to try field study, and, therefore,where he should be placed. But the pro-gram director saw things differently.

"Before coming to Cornell, my whole lifehad been pro-business. My father is abusinessman; that was how I was broughtup," Don explains. "Once on campus, ofcourse, I started saying what everyone elseseemed to say: 'business is always bad.' Butall the time in the back of my mind, I keptthinking: 'business is for me.' "

After three years of studying textiledesign and technology and having thattension work in him, Don was not sure howhe really felt. Field study seemed to be theanswer. There was no better way to find outhow he felt about business, he reasoned,

than to work in business. "So I wanted to-work for McCalls, Benton and Bowles, orMerrill Lynch," he says. "I wanted J. C.Penney. I wanted anything that was not inthe public sector."

Kathy Evans, then director of the pro-gram, agreed that field study would prably help Don find out how he felt aboutbusiness, but she disagreed that a com-mercial firm was where he should go. Shewanted to place Don at the Better BusinessBureau (BBB). "We fought about it for acouple of weeks," he recalls. "I said Iwouldn't go because I felt the BBB was aworthless organization and I couldn't getanything out of it. She insisted that I go. SoI went. It was terrific. She was right."

Work at the bureau was more stimu-lating thatn Don expected. He receivedcomplaints from consumers on the tele-phone and through the mail, then wroteletters notifying businesses of the com-plaints. He wrote radio advertisementswhich were read on the air by the presidentof the bureau. He helped solve consumerand business problems through a bureauarbitration tribunal, where the parties meet

with an attorney to receive a binding de-cision. "It was exciting: here I was involvedin this court procedure," Don says.

"But the greatest part of the experiencewas that the president decided there wasnot enough for me to do inside the BBB, sohe took me outside," he says. *Ί was able togo to any organization I wanted. I was veryinterested in department stores, so he tookme to department store board of trusteemeetings. I was interested in publicationssuch as the Readers' Digest. It just hap-pened that he was a former editor-in-chief,so I went to Readers' Digest meetings. Hetook me to Time-Life meetings. He tookme anywhere I wanted to go. He intro-duced me to the president of Dan RiversFabrics, the president of Burlington Mills,the president of J.P. Stevens."

In almost every situation, Don foundbeing a student was an advantage. "I don'tthink I could have had such an experienceany other way," he says. "Because I was astudent, I was able to ask questions anddidn't feel foolish about it. But I was neverreferred to as a student. I had as much re-sponsibility as anyone else in the organi-zation. I was a businessman, and I wastreated like one.

"The president would hand me a file andsay, 'Read and know what's in it becausewe're going to a meeting.' It would be anhundred-page file, and I would have toknow all about it. I would go home andspend hours going over this material untilI knew it and would be able to talk on anintelligent level about it."

Compared to the excitement of his as-signment, Don expected the weekly semi-nars to be boring, but he found them yetanother surprise. "We would have totaldisagreements," he says. "It was like adebate. It was great. I didn't realize howwell I knew my organization until I startedarguing with other students, who had theirorganizations to defend. At one point, thegirl placed at J.C. Penney became verypro-business. I felt sort of pro-businessmyself, of course, but I was working on theside of the consumer at the BBB. So wewould start to argue about such things asthe need for controls on products. Everyoneelse would join in; we'd start pulling outstatistics we never knew we knew."

In total, Don feels the field study expe-rience helped him to "see both sides of thecoin" in the marketplace, and to see thathis attraction to business is strong. As aresult, plans for senior year changed dra-matically. "I have started taking morebusiness management courses: economics,

business law, statistics, marketing, andcommunication arts. I would have thoughtcommunication arts was a waste of time,but now I see how important it is to knowhow to communicate, to give a presentationfor example.

"I thought I knew enough. But now Iknow you never know enough."

Barbara Wooten is a self-described prag-matist, a student who says she distrusts"learning for the sake of learning" and wholikes to see "professional application" in aclass. So during the three and a half yearsshe has studied design and environmentalanalysis at Cornell, she has been careful toknow at all times where she was headed.

Before field study, she knew she wanteda career in the textile industry. She evenknew she wanted a position that wouldcombine technical and management ex-perience, allowing her to work with bothproducts and people, and she knew shewanted to be on the East Coast where theleading firms in the textile industry haveestablished headquarters.

But Barbara had grown up in an aca-demic setting in suburban Eugene, Oregon,and her unfamiliarity with business andbig-city living continually undermined herconfidence in her aspirations.

Not surprisingly, field study in NewYork City was very appealing to her. Itwould allow her to test both her careerplans and her ideas about where shewanted to live. It seems to have done ev-erything she hoped for and more. "I cameout of field study a lot more self-confidentand more sure of what I want to do," shesays.

Barbara found work at McCalls a goodway to find out how reasonable her careergoals were. She and Rhonda Gainer, an-other field study student from Cornell,started in the Consumer Services Depart-ment writing letters to answer consumerinquiries. "That way we were introducedto different departments and we were ableto see the interaction of the parts of thecompany," she explains.

"After that, they started sending usaround. We spent a week in design. Wespent a week in the fabric library. We spentthree days in marketing. We started aproject between Marketing and ConsumerServices, correlating complaints and letterswith sales, which we worked on all semes-ter.

As the semester continued, trips outsidethe company offices became more fre-quent—on location with the photographystaff, to luncheons, breakfasts, and pre-sentations. One high point was a two-hourinterview with the president and vicepresident of the company. "We had re-quested an interview; we figured it wouldn't

hurt to request," Barbara says.The interview was granted, but with a

warning that it was to last only forty-fiveminutes because the executives were deeplyinvolved in making some decisions aboutthe budget. As the interview proceeded,however, "they just kept firing questions atus," Barbara says. "They were amazed bythe field study program. We talked so longthey missed a meeting with another vicepresident and had to reschedule it. Wewere impressed."

As a result of the interview, both Bar-bara and Rhonda want along on a companytrip to the firm's operations headquartersin Kansas. "We spent four days there,"Barbara remembers, "going through themanufacturing plant of McCalls and hav-ing interviews with the processing andpersonnel departments. They took us to theKansas State home economics departmentso we could compare it to Cornell's Collegeof Human Ecology. It was amazing beingon a business expense account—$400 to acompany is nothing."

At every turn, Barbara says she feltlavished with privileges she never expected."I'm still not sure I know why everyonecared so much," she says. "At first Ithought it was because they saw themselveshelping to educate those who would followthem in the industry, and that this would

sound good for the company to put in itsannual report. But the employes themselveswere very anxious to teach us. So now Ithink the answer is just that we showedinterest. Anybody feels important whenyou ask him questions about what he isdoing."

Barbara's experience provoked manymore questions, especially when she com-pared notes with other students in theseminars. Significant differences wereobvious. "There was Amy at the union andthe people at the medical center strugglingfor funds. And here we were being flown toKansas," she says. "It showed me a kind ofinjustice in the private enterprise system.I mean injustice in that one side isscrounging so hard for money and the otherside is worried only about profits and lux-ury.

"But I'm not upset about it," she says."The other students kept trying to convinceme that I should be. You pick your ownpath, if you go into human services, thatinjustice is something you deal with all thetime.

"The problem with human services isthat they ask for their money from privateenterprise, but they don't talk on the sameterms. They don't talk about profits. Theydon't talk about the bottom line. They talkabout intangibles. They talk about human

betterment, and that's something a com-pany can't put down on its balancesheet."

In total, the field experience strength-ened Barbara's confidence in her careergoals. "If anything," she says, "it showedme that I have more choices within thetextile industry than I realized. I could gointo fabrics, home sewing, or industrialmarkets.

"Field study taught me that vice presi-dents are people too, and that I can con-tribute something to a corporation," shesays.

Living in a big city proved a whole sep-arate education in itself, Barbara says—trying to master the street system, thesubway, the buses, the grocery stores, thelaundromat, and the entertainment spots.

"I learned a lot about myself and city life.I feel now I could live in a city like NewYork and love it for a while. But as long asI lived there, I wouldn't feel settled." So,she concludes, an eastern suburb is prob-ably the answer. "Then there would be abig city near me and I could have all thebenefits of it. But I could still have myhouse. I could still have my yard."

"At the end of the semester, we eachwrote a final paper with an evaluation ofwhat grade we felt we deserved for the se-mester," Barbara says, "By that time, noneof us cared what grade we got. I felt that Ihad put more into that semester—more ofmyself into it—and that I cared moreabout that semester than any other atCornell."

Of Spoϊkes, Scrums & Second-Bowmen

By Jack Jensen '78

I found myself one brisk day on a muddyfield in Toronto, in short pants, looking ateight large sets of upraised, heaving but-tocks, also in short pants. Two very largemen with identical Fu Manchu moustacheswere poised less than five yards away, withblood on their shirts and mud in their eyes.They clearly meant me no good.

Suddenly an oblong ball appeared frombetween the legs on the ends of the but-tocks. The Fu Manchued monsters jumpedfor it. Surprisingly enough, so did I. Get-ting there first, I flipped it underhand to ateammate standing discreetly behind me.Not surprisingly, the disappointed mon-sters did me no good. It was also no surprisewhen, after doing me no good for the betterpart of an hour and a half, they picked meup, fed me burgers and beer, and called me"mate." Because they're rugby players. It'spart of the game.

The sport began rather innocuously in1823 in Rugby, England, during whatAmericans would call a soccer match andthe British would call a football match,between Rugby and Manchester. A plaquein Rugby commemorates the spot whereWilliam Webb Ellis, becoming bored withall the footplay, and "with a fine disregardfor the rules of football as played in histime, took up the ball in his arms and ran

with it." He ran across the field and set itdown in the Manchester goal. Rugby wasat that moment invented. In the very nextmoment the game established its reputa-tion for hard-nosed masculinity, as theentire Manchester team caught up withWilliam Webb Ellis and punched him intoinsensibility.

The game's traditions and vocabularywere developed over the years by Welshcoal miners. The field, called a pitch, is 110yards by 75. The sidelines are called touchlines; a player running out of bounds is saidto be out of touch.

Play is wide-open, touchline to touchline,often with five or six consecutive kicks backand forth. Even the kicks have names thatare descriptive—grubbers, box-kicks, up-and-unders, and touch-kicks. There are nodowns, no forward passing, and no block-ing. The ball can be kicked at any time byanyone in any direction, but is then up forgrabs.

The fifteen players on a team are called,among other things, ruggers: eight for-wards, usually the larger men—known asthe pack—and seven backs. Even the bigforwards can run with the ball, but mostlythe backs see-saw across the field with it,trying to avoid getting killed, since they aresmaller, fleeter, and generally saner than

the forwards. They avoid getting killed bylateralling the ball before they are tackled.Rugby is a game of hot-potato with agoal.

The ball generally changes hands as aresult of a player with the ball being tack-led, or of an illegal play, such as a forwardlateral, in which event play stops momen-tarily.

After an illegal play, the exchange isaccomplished by the scrummage, thatstrange picture you may have seen of ateam of men all holding onto each other,pushing against the other team with thetops of their heads. The forwards of eachteam take part in the scrum. Their namesobviously suggest their special jobs—onehooker, two props, two second-rowmen,two break-aways, and of course a num-ber-eight. Collectively, they are known asthe pack.

Each scrum links itself into a tight packand a back places the ball in the tunnelbetween the opposing hookers, who proceedto kick each other in the shins. They alsotry to hook the ball backward with theirheels, and it is pushed backward until itcomes out the back of one of the twoscrums.

A back known as a scrum-half thenpasses it, gets jumped on by the other

20 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS

team's breakaways, and then the actionstarts.

If a player is tackled with the ball he isrequired to fumble it. A ruck—a loose andinformal scrum—is immediately formedover it by as many forwards as get to theball, and the forwards kick each other inthe shins again. The ball is heeled back toa scrum-half, and play continues.

If a player is tackled but unable to falldown, there is a free-for-all taffy pull forthe ball—a maul. Action in the mauls hasbeen described as "sixteen hungry lions, ina small cage, with only one Christian toplay with."

After one pack has gained control of theball, its members work the ball back totheir scrum-half, the quarterback of theteam. He passes it to the six smaller, fleeterbacks who are lined up behind him. As withthe forwards, the backs have names de-scriptive of their responsibilities—fly-half,inside center, outside center, wide-wing,blind-wing, and, mercifully, fullback.

The backs' job is to get the ball downacross the opposition's goal line (a try), ordrop-kick it over their goal posts (a drop-kick). A spectacular touchdown is a nicetry.

In thinking of rugby, imagine a game ofAmerican football that consists only ofkickoffs and punt returns; where blockingisn't allowed and possession after a tackleis determined by a tag-team wrestlingmatcn. That is rugby. There are no sub-stitutions and no time-outs in two forty-

minute halves. Play stops and organizedscrums are formed only after penalties.

But if rugby players sound crazy, theyare crazy like coyotes. For $10 in dues theCornell players are entitled to all the beerthey can drink before, during, and aftereight different games, and transportationto Toronto, Montreal, Syracuse, andPhiladelphia. Hearing of this wonderfulinvestment several years back, I slyly calledthe Cornell Rugby number.

The voice on the other end introducedhimself as Richard Broyd, Grad; a nativeEnglishman who now organizes, coaches,and plays prop-forward for the CornellRugby Club. I asked him if I could try outfor the team.

"Certainly," he replied. The firstworkout was to be held in the Livestock

Judging Pavillion due to snow on thepractice pitch. "How much do yeweigh?"

"A hundred and sixty-five.""Twelve stone, eji?" He asked me if I

had any "al-yoo-min-ee-yum spoikes."I looked at the phone blankly."Spoikes, man. For yer feet."I said I had my football spikes."American footballer, eh? Well, bring

a stout jersey and a gumshield, and we'llsee what ye can do."

I wore a stout jersey and a mouthguard,and ran ankle-deep in cowflop and sawdustfor two hours. I was hooked. Any group ofpeople who could knock each other's nosesinto cowdung and come up saying, "Welldone, mate," deserved some attention.

Being sly but still sane, I noticed that the

APRIL 1978 21

forwards all had cauliflower faces and de-cided to be a back. After three games Ifilled in for an injured breakaway forward.I lined up in the scrum with one armaround a second-rowman and my nose upa prop-forward. During the first few min-utes a Hartwick College player foolishlyand illegally chose to lay on the ball afterhe was tackled. The second-rowman I hadbeen hugging moments before began tokick the opposing player in the ribs as if hewere a vending machine. It sounded like abass drum. The hapless Hartwick playerwas carried from the field and penalized forungentlemanly conduct. I decided to goback to the backs.

The game is nevertheless much cleanerthan its reputation. The roughness issomewhat policed by the threat of retalia-tion—there are no substitutions, so every-one is a potential tackier as well as tacklee.It is a penalty to disagree with a decision ofthe referee, who is spoken to as "Sir."

"It's a bit hard-nosed, sure, but it's agentleman's sport," said Keith Kaplan,Grad, as he sat sipping beer through astraw after being kicked in the jaw duringa recent game. Pointing to his black-and-blue face, he said, "This sort of thinghardly ever happens. Never twice."

This tradition of hard noses, at least,endures at Cornell. Steve (the Lumber-jack) Malavarca '77, a Cornell prop, ishuge, bearded, and surly. When casuallyasked after a recent game what he wasgetting for dinner that night, he replied,"Fresh squirrel."

Some Cornell ruggers are former foot-ball linemen who play because the forwardsget to handle the ball. "I played guard inhigh school, then took up rugby as an un-dergraduate," says Ron Shassburger,

Grad. "The first time somebody passed methe ball, on purpose, I said, This is mygame.' " Ron has played collegiate rugbyat Cornell for seventeen years. He is cur-rently raising five wolves in his backyardfor his doctoral thesis on animal vocaliza-tions.

Some Cornell ruggers are former foot-ball players who haven't given up theirboyhood enjoyment of knocking peopledown. John Martindale '71, AM '74, aseven-year veteran rugger, part-time bar-tender, and full-time English teacher atTompkins-Cortland Community College,explains: "Quite a few lost their footballscholarships due to injury. They've lost astep or two but they still work like crazy onthe rugby pitch, hobbling around andyelling like nuts. By the time they finallycatch up to you, look out, because they'reso damn mad at having run so far they blowyou right off the field."

The potential for injury in rugby is stillprobably less than in football. Of forty-fiveCornell ruggers last spring, only threemissed more than two games because ofinjury, and all but one returned fully healedfor the fall season. There are no pads, butyou are also not being hit by a man super-charged with the fearlessness that comesfrom being encased in thirty pounds ofhard-plastic, foam rubber, and steel. "Infootball you get somebody winding up fora whole snap count, just waiting for thatone big hit," says Don Anderson '80, one ofthese hobbling ex-footballers. "In rugbythe blows are more glancing."

The game is also unlike football in thatplayers of all sizes can compete. "The bestwing on the French National Team is only5 feet 3," says Coach Broyd. "He's quite

nearly untackleable, especially in the mud.The sport combines skills from basketball,wrestling, soccer, and American football.If you can excell at any one phase of it, youcan play somewhere."

It also seems like you can play forever.Ron Shassburger, himself 35, believes hehas thirty-five more good years left in him."There's a guy playing right now in En-gland who's 70 years old. And he claims hedoesn't even train." Over a third of theCornell team are Cornell alumni living inthe Ithaca area, another third are graduatestudents, the rest are undergrads. CoachBroyd prefers players experienced in rugby,but says, "We like to have a little new bloodout there, too."

Rugby is a club sport; the only require-ments are the $ 10 in dues and a willingnessto forget football. Club dues go to newballs, travel expenses, and the famousrugby parties. Players supply their ownuniforms and drive their own cars to awaygames, where they live as guests of thehome team. The host team traditionallysupplies a keg of beer on the sidelines andpicks up the tab at their favorite pub afterthe game. Cornell's club is successful bothon the field and off: last season they were8-1, finished second at the Upstate Re-gional Tournament, and were undefeatedat the parties. They play their homematches on the Upper Alumni Fields andin the Fall Creek House.

The Cornell club has been in existencesince 1952. Over 75 per cent of the collegesin the US now have rugby clubs. Each clubpays a subscription to its regional Union,to cover the expenses of the regional tour-naments and the American NationalTeam—the Eagles. At this writing theEagles are one game and one victory into

a tour of Europe. An all-star squad of bravfvolunteers, they face players who grew upwith rugby, and who hope to maj t theprofessional leagues.

Although European pro rugby is aboutas lucrative as American pro track (playersmake about $200 a week) the Europeansstill take their sport seriously. Crowds oftennumber in the 80 or 90 thousands, anddebate in local pubs is somewhat spirited.Mostly European rugby is an amateursport, played by schoolboys and tavernsteams, the equivalent perhaps of US soft-ball.

Although rugby may never be as big anAmerican sport as it is in Europe (Cornellcrowds often number in the eights ornines), both prep asc! collegiate rugby arecatching on here. Ithaca High School, forexample, fielded a team last year, coachedby Cornell scrum-half Gary Coye '79,which had respectable showings againstsome small-college teams. St. Louis andWashington, DC have exceptional highschool rugby programs. "Rugby is behindthe current wave in soccer at the lowerlevels, but once the novelty and all themyths about injuries are cleared up, I thinkyou'll really see a boom in its popularity,"says Cornell breakaway Frank Lichtner,Grad. "People are looking for alternativesto the same old sports."

There is even a women's team at Cornell."Women playing rugby is strictly anAmerican phenomenon," Shassburger

says. "In England the girls only play as ajoke. Over here they're very serious." Lastyear the Cornell women had a full teamand a six-game schedule. "I don't think it'sso much a reaction against the macho-image of rugby, of any sort of women's libdisplay. Girls like to hit each other, too."Shassburger coached the women throughtheir first season. "The first drill wastackling. They'd never done it before. Theythought knocking each other down was thegreatest thing in the world."

The famous rugby parties, featuringbawdy singing and much mug-waving,bring the men and women together atCornell, but Shassburger dismisses the ideathat rugby is an excuse to drink. "Theparties are part of that English tradition ofsportsmanship and fair play. When thegame is over each team applauds the otherand enjoys a few beers together." After hisseventeen years of Cornell rugby, Shass-burger says, "I'm just playing now for theaesthetics of the sport, for the beauty ofgood play. In the end you find the attrac-tion is waiting for that one moment wheneverything is done just right. You're justplaying for the sake of the game itself."Besides, what other sport could a man playwho raises wolves in his backyard?

Learning for Its Own Sweet Sake

This is the second of two articles ofreminiscence by the author, who earnedthe AB and AM in English and the PhDin drama at the university. In the firstinstallment he dealt with his experiencesas undergraduate, fraternity pledge,student of Prof. Martin W. Sampson,English, and member of the ManuscriptClub, which Sampson headed. Here hepicks up discussing the other giant of hisundergraduate days, Prof. Lane Cooper,comparative literature.

Lane Cooper, who disapproved of what heconsidered Martin Sampson's histrionicappeal to students and his willingness tosacrifice significant scholarship for a kindof tutorial inspiration, was himself a fas-cinating, if formidable personality. Becausehe was terrifyingίy demanding in his courseassignments and contemptuous of the massadulation enjoyed by popular lecturers likeMartin Sampson, he had a very small fol-lowing among the students. He insistedthat he was interested in what Miltoncalled "the fit though few," but there musthave been moments when he wondered howhe could justify courses with such smallregistration.

Among the serious students of Englishthere were Sampsonites and Cooperites,fewer of the latter than the former, tfcut intheir own opinion far more concerned withtrue scholarship based on the classics. TheSampsonites were the free spirits, inter-ested in everything, who sought under-standing through a romantic, almost sen-sual pleasure in literature, encouraged bya teacher with a genius for keeping re-sponsive students in a state of constant in-tellectual excitement.

With Sampson you felt the lyric inten-sity of "Adonais" and "The Eve of St.Agnes," and you were impelled to readmore and more to grasp the almost unen-durable beauty of books. With Cooper youwere goaded into seeking truth, not nec-essarily beauty, but the basic principles ofthought. He lashed his students into com-prehension of the great books, not throughany esthetic appreciation, for he was

skeptical of emotion as an aid to learning,but through stern logic.

I was of course a Samsonite and unde-viatingly loyal, though the Cooper philos-ophy of rationalism occasionally gotthrough to me. In my junior year I tookCooper's famous course in ComparativeLiterature. The eight or ten of us boldenough to face the awesome severity ofLane Cooper for a year met as a seminarfor two to three hours once a week. He gaveus massive assignments and expected acarefully written essay prepared for eachclass meeting. There was no room for thefree riders who sat through Sampson'scharming lectures, cutting classes at willand hoping for easy questions on the prel-ims.

Cooper sat at the head of the table,frowning at our floundering in the sea ofclassic literature, disputing superficialreasoning, thundering at stupidity andanything less than respect for the masters.We read Aristotle and Plato and Homer,Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes allthe way through—and many of the lesserwriters in smaller quantities, together withmuch of the scholarly interpretation.Cooper was an Aristotelian, and we weredrenched in the Poetics. In those days wecould argue at length about the theory ofcomedy, the esthetic principle, the classicalunities, and the idea of fate rather thanabout atomic fission, Black Power, themorality of war, and the importance ofdestroying capitalistic society. I wonder ifthere are still university courses in whichnon-utilitarian ideas can still be discussedat leisure.

Cooper was a tyrannical teacher, im-patient with laziness or lack of dedication.I used to check pulse-rates with a brightwoman student who sat next to me in theCooper seminar, just before we were calledon to read our weekly papers. Mine wouldnearly double in anticipation of his Jehovandisapproval when I knew I was questioning

one of Cooper's immutable truths. Weclashed on the subject of divine will, on theinterpretation of the Odyssey, on the par-allels between Greek orthodoxy evident inthe choruses of the plays and Christianorthodoxy. One of my roughest momentscame one day when, after I had read apaper revealing some doubt about thewhole concept of divinity, pagan and

24 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS

Christian, he roared down the table at me,"Young man, the fool has said in his heart,There is no God!'"

Nevertheless, Lane Cooper gave me anA in his course and, on one unforgettableSunday during my senior year, invited meto dinner. He was a bachelor, living alonein a house on the edge of Fall Creek gorge.I was so flattered by his friendliness that fora few hours I forgot that I was a Samp-sonite. Cooper, the great scholar, whosecard-index references to his publicationsfilled half a tray, never, or so I was told,paid that kind of attention to an under-graduate. I was the only guest. We wereserved by his housekeeper, who had pre-pared the most delicious chicken dinner Ihad ever eaten. To a student used to Col-legetown restaurants and fraternity-housediningrooms and canned soup and cannedspaghetti warmed over a hot-plate, thatmeal was splendid enough to weaken mydefenses.

There was no trace of the Old Testamentprophet or the grim leader of a Greekchorus, pontificating on man's destiny andhis subordination to the will of the gods.Lane Cooper was a delightful host, cour-teous, considerate, interested in my com-ments, even pleased with my voracity. Heasked me about my plans for the future. Ihad been too busy being stimulated bybooks and talk to have any plans, but I saidvaguely, "Well, sir, I'd like to be a writer,though I don't have much confidence in mytalent, and I'm sure I couldn't make a livingat it." Martin Sampson had never inquiredabout my future. He was a great believerin private enterprise. Cooper was anotherkind of man. Besides, he had a purposeother than feeding a hungry student, inspending an evening with me. It didn'tcome out immediately.

"The best way to test your writing," hetold me, "is to become a farmer. You'd

have to work hard, but you'd be supportingyourself, and your evenings and the longwinters would be more or less free for yourwriting. I believe, however, that you shouldgo on with graduate study. You're apromising student and would do well in thefield of scholarship."

There it was. Professor Cooper badlyneeded graduate students to carry on hissmall department; his reputation for beinguncompromisingly severe did not attractmany candidates for advanced degrees. Noone doubted that a degree under the bril-liant but exacting master would be a goodone, but students hesitated to move intoCooper's orbit, feeling that he woulddominate them too completely.

Again I was flattered. The Cooperiteswere on the stuffy side, but they had to beintelligent as well as industrious. I prom-ised to think over his suggestions aboutcoming back the next year and working ona master's degree in the application ofAristotle's theory of tragedy in modernliterature or some similar giddy subject.

The state of well being induced by thedinner and the intimate conversation lastedseveral days. I suddenly realized thatgraduation was only a few months awayand I had not the slightest concept of acareer. There was so much to be learned,so many exciting ideas buzzing around methat I couldn't take time out to considerhow I was going to make a living afterJune. Some time that next week I men-tioned to Martin Sampson the opinion ofLane Cooper that a would-be writer woulddo well to become a farmer. He smiled andsaid something about observing people andlearning about life, which might be a littledifficult on a farm. One of my friends, theson of a farmer, snorted when I told him."You'd be so tired by sundown," he said,"that you'd never get around to any writ-ing. And don't ever let anybody tell youthat farmers have nothing to do during thewinter."

By Saturday night and the next meetingof the Manuscript Club the very idea thatI would abandon Sampson for Cooperseemed ridiculous. Yet I never spoke lightlyabout that evening, and it stands out in mymemory as one of the big events of mygrowing up.

I stayed on good terms with the Coopercircle during my graduate period, espe-cially with Harry Caplan '16, professor ofGreek, one of the best teachers and mostcharming and entertaining men I have everknown. Harry was much younger thanCooper, but his superb scholarship andscintillating wit put him on equal termswith the great classicist. One story aboutthe two men was passed around with eithermalice or affection. On one occasion Ca-plan, pretending to be doing a crossword

puzzle, just beginning to be the rage, saidto Professor Cooper, "I'm trying to get afour-letter word ending with -k, meaningintercourse."

Mr. Cooper sputtered. "You know Idon't like that kind of joke, Mr. Ca-plan."

"Whatever are you thinking about?"demanded Harry, innocently. "I've justthought of the word: talk, of course."

Another colorful member of the facultywas Prof. Charles L. (Bull) Durham '99,head of the classics department. Durhamdabbled in local politics, but loyally re-mained a Democrat in a Republican areaand was never elected to anything, thoughhe kept hoping. He was known for hisfondness for the liquids nationally illegalunder the Great Experiment. One storyabout him was that his long-suffering wife,whenever the doorbell rang at their homein the late evening, automatically called outof the upstairs window, "Help him in,please." Professor Durham, under whomI had three years of Latin, tried to settle myproblem of a career by getting me an offerof a job as Latin master at a smart boys'preparatory school after my graduation.While I was thinking about spending thenext few years with all those irregularverbs, however, Martin Sampson got me amuch more attractive offer of an instruc-torship in English at the University ofKansas.

Prof. William Strunk, who came oftento MS Club meetings, sometimes substi-tuting for MWS when he was ill or absent,had a wry little smile and a dry mannerthat made him widely underestimated oncampus. Few of us who perfunctorily readhis stripped-to-the-bone text on composi-tion thought of him as anything but arather sweet, tedious professor. I remember

APRIL 1978 25

Prof. Clark Northup '93

him reading aloud one of the exuberantlymacabre essays that were my specialty inthe MS Club budget and hearing him ex-claim with delicately pursed lips, revealinghis exquisite distaste, "Really, Argus!"

On another occasion, after an eveningseminar of his that I took during my grad-uate period, we began to discuss-the newmusic and had enthusiastically reachedStravinsky. Willie wrinkled his lips in therabbity way he had and said, pontifically,"Speaking of Stravinsky, have you heardRavel's Bolero?" For some reason it struckus as funny, and years afterward when anyof those who were there that night wantedto illustrate a ludicrous point, he'd say,"Speaking of Stravinsky, have you heardRavel's Bolero?"

Willie served on my doctoral committee,supervising my drama minor, making meread hundreds of plays from all over theworld. Then he caught me out in my oralexamination with the simple question, "Atwhat moment in what play did moderndrama begin?" As I floundered, guessing,he gave me that rabbity smile and told methe answer: when Nora slammed the doorbehind her in the final act of Ibsen's WildDuck. He didn't mean to show up my ig-norance. Oral examinations were prettydull, and he wanted to start an argumentamong the other members of the commit-tee and, only incidentally, me.

At the time of another doctoral exami-nation he had an adventure that became aCornell legend. One of my contemporariesand friends, Darkes Albright (PhD '36)who later became professor of drama atCornell, was scheduled to come up for hisorals at 2 o'clock one summer afternoon.Professor Strunk, always prompt, was un-accountably late. He had been at lunchdowntown with an old roommate of mine

and fellow Manuscripter, then professor ofEnglish at the University of Tennessee,John Emperor.

John was driving his first car and wasnot very sure of himself. He was a finescholar, but had no mechanical aptitude.There had been a light rain, and theStewart Avenue hill was slippery. As herounded a bend, John's rear wheels caughtin the streetcar track. Since the instructionbook did not cover such situations, John didnot straighten out when his wheels camefree and proceeded straight into a telegraphpole. Willie was projected part waythrough the windshield, which bulged andshattered but did not break through.Stunned and bleeding from a badly cut lip,he staggered out, muttering that he had anappointment. Somehow he made his wayup the hill while John took care of hisdamaged car.

The candidate for the degree, alreadynervous, was chewing his nails at the delay.The two other professors, wondering whathad held up their colleague, were dismayedby his sudden, bloody appearance. Williewanted to go on with the examination, butthe others insisted on taking him to a doc-tor. Darkes, his nerves frayed by the in-terruption of his ordeal and the apparitionof his wounded professor, like Banquo atthe feast, went along. The doctor sewed upWillie's lip while Darkes waited. When theothers came out of the surgery, they hadanother patient, the doctoral candidate,stretched out in a dead faint.

We all went to see Willie that night. Hewas in fine fettle, showing off his bandagesand his dented hat, still sprinkled withglass, that had cushioned his meeting withthe windshield.

Other personalities on the Cornell fac-ulty of my day were: the great historianCarl Becker, whose lucid, simply deliveredlectures were almost as popular as MartinSampson's, though less dramatic and in-spirational; Prof. James Mason, head of theFrench department, known for his naughtystories and his interest in pretty co-eds; andProf. Clark Northup '93, another memberof my doctoral committee, a fuzzy, amiableprototype of the absent-minded professor,whose office in Goldwin Smith Hall was aminiature Chaos. Northup, who loved thePhi Beta Kappa Society which he onceheaded and whose publications he editedfor many years, was a remarkably tediouslecturer but a sweet-natured, generousscholar.

Prof. J. K. Wilson, PhD '14, agronomist,was my lifetime model of a great sports-man. J.K. was the best tennis-player on theCornell faculty and the leading figure ofthe faculty tennis club, which had threecourts west of Bailey Hall. I played with

Prof. H. C. Elmer '83

him and on faculty teams headed by himover a period of years, never beating himuntil he was well over 50, a tall, straight,honest man who at 60 was still a formi-dable player. He died shortly after his 60thbirthday of a cancer that must havegnawed at him for a long time while hestood straight, hit a hard ball, and was al-ways the smiling, courteous gentleman ofthe courts.

Dean Ogden, head of the student affairscommittee who eased me through mysign-stealing crisis, made the history ofphilosophy a fascinating tour of worldculture.

I could go on remembering other Cornellteachers: the professor of LAW whonamed his house "Neuralgia" because ithad a crick in the back; the flamboyantinstructor in English, who gave me a B formy first term because, though my work wascorrect and even good, I "had never hadenough doubts to give me an understandingof life;" and the gentle instructor to whomI indignantly transferred after the firstterm, who didn't worry about my doubts,steered me to such fascinating writers asAmbrose Bierce, W. W. Jacobs, and Saki,and gave me an A.

And the satyr-faced instructor in publicspeaking who used to corner susceptiblestudents and read poetry to them, notablyErnest Dowson's "Cynara," which heturned into sheer magic; Professors Wal-lace Notestein, who made European his-tory come alive for me, and William ClydedeVane, froiB Yale, who discovered for me,in beautiful translations, the poetry ofHafiz and Heine;

26 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS

My professor of philosophy, HaroldSmart, PhD '23, who illustrated infinity bydrawing a line along the blackboard untilit reached the corner of the room, thenthrowing the chalk out of the window. Hetaught me the principles of logic so well (bya trick of putting his knee into a front-rowseat and leaning across to speak within afew inches of our faces in the second row)that fifty years later I can still recite themystic formula of syllogistic reasoning:"Barbara, Celarent, Delarii . . ." thoughΓve forgotten what they stand for;

C. K. Thomas '21, the skilled phoneti-cian, who knew as much about regionaldialects as anybody in the United States,had been born with a defective right hand,which existed only as rudimentary fingersat the end of the wrist. He was completelyunselfconscious about it and used the handto flip notes, always on 3-by-5 cards, infront of his fascinated classes. He playedthe piano with great exuberance, using hisstump so skillfully that you swore he wasplaying chords with that hand.

Finally, there was gentle Prof. H. C.Elmer '83, once an internationally knownLatin authority, a retired, shaky old manwhose fine intellect had begun to cloudwhen I knew him. I lived in his house whenI was a graduate student, taking him foroccasional rides in my ancient car (a 1925Buick, for which I paid $175 in 1930, wortha small fortune if it were still alive today).I was readying Arnold Bennett's Clay-hanger at that time with its unforgettableaccount of a man dying of softening of thebrain. Before my eyes it was happening toa real person.

I've left to the last a brief sketch of "TheBoss," Prof. Alexander Drummond, a pi-oneer in the university theater which beganto influence the backward Americandrama during the second decade of thiscentury. Alec Drummond, Grad '09-15, atCornell, and Theodore Koch, at the Uni-versity of North Carolina, were among thefirst to establish significant regional the-aters which could give sustenance to theailing professional theater by training ac-tors, directors, playwrights who had beenexposed to the great literature of dramaticart.

Drummond was a gigantic man, bothphysically and mentally. Early in life,however, he had been crippled by polio, andone of his legs was withered and useless.Nevertheless, he swung, himself alongpowerfully on crutches, disdaining help andbrusquely rejecting any show of senti-mental sympathy. He would have stood6-feet-6 and was still, even on crutches, amuscular, tall, dynamic man. I never knewhim personally during my undergraduateyears, though he was one of the campuspersonalities, and the plays he directed

made the Cornell teacher famous and in-fluential.

Among his products was Franchot Tone,Class of 1927, who had a bright Broadwaycareer as a member of the excellent GroupTheater before he surrendered to Holly-wood and was typed as the charming roue.Tone had achieved one extraordinary featas an undergraduate by being elected toboth Phi Beta Kappa, the national schol-arship society, which recognized only goodstudents, and Kappa Beta Phi, the cynicaldrinking society, the complete antithesis ofPhi Beta Kappa, whose initials it mock-ingly reversed, which specialized in ev-erything except scholarship.

Others, in my class of 1928, were SidneyKirschner, who changed his name to

Kingsley and became a successful authorof plays, notably Dead End and Men inWhite; Dan Duryea, who became a well-known film actor; Barnard Hewitt, whowent on to become an authority on Amer-ican play production.

Though I had not been good enough tomake the Dramatic Club as an under-graduate, Professor Drummond offered mean assistantship in the Department ofSpeech and Drama in 1933. In that year ofthe Depression, after five years as an in-structor in English at two universities andsome enthusiastic but undisciplined expe-rience in little theaters, I began work formy doctorate, at the lowest level, as a staff

The noted historian Carl Becker

APRIL 1978 27

member of the Cornell Graduate Theater.This was a serious production unit, whichtried many kinds of experimental as well asconventional plays. Drummond quicklydiscovered that the talent I thought I haddiscovered in Tennessee was actually in-finitesimal, but he was stuck with me anddid the best he could with my meagerabilities.

He believed in a broad background forgraduate study and put his studentsthrough courses in esthetics, history of thetheater, stage technique, play production,and drama so intense and demanding thatanyone with a Drummond doctorate hadto work harder for it than in most otherdepartments. He himself had never takena doctorate, and he was well aware that thevery idea of establishing a PhD in the dra-matic arts was looked on with considerableskepticism by the upholders of conventionalstandards of scholarship.

My major was in English, but I spentmore time on my first minor underDrummond than on my major and secondminor together. He was pleased, I think,with my competence in theory and allstudies requiring research rather thantechnical or acting ability. Nevertheless, heblistered me as often as possible—andnecessary—whenever I appeared on stageunder his direction, and his technical di-rector gave me a hard time in stage design,

electricity, makeup, and related evils ofproduction. During rehearsals, after thefirst few sessions of sardonic barking at us,Drummond sat at a writing table wedgedbetween the rows of seats in front of him,in the center of the theater, writing noteson yellow paper, which he tore in strips atthe end of the act and passed to us. Theywere often excoriating, and I invariablywinced when my batch came to me.Sometimes he would rear his giganticframe out of his seat, adjust his crutches,and bear down on the acting area to showus how to do a scene. Or he would halt uswith a peremptory command and out of thedarkness of the auditorium flog us with hisbooming, irascible voice until we got itright. In my wallet for years afterward Icarried several of the more pungent of hisnotes to me, rereading them occasionallyto ensure humility.

Once he gave me a permanent lesson inself-evaluation. I had already received mydegree and was grandiosely enrolled for thesummer, before I went on to my next job,as a "resident doctor." As recreation thatsummer, while I did a little desultory re-search, I volunteered to take a part in thefirst summer-theater play, an expression-istic drama, written by Drummond him-self, called Traffic Signals. I was cast asFather Time, who was on stage during theentire play, which was a satire on the rest-

'The Boss,' Prof. Alec Drummond

lessness of modern society, symbolized bytwo streams j)f people rushing across thestage as a traffic signal changed.

I had a huge hour-glass on which Iperched occasionally and sharpened myscythe. Of course I wore a long white robeand a vast beard which I applied nightly, asI had learned to do it in a make-up class,swatch by swatch. The spirit gum and hair,which had to be pulled off after each per-formance, made my face so sore that Ibroke out in large fever blisters, painfullycovered the next night by my beard. A cityboy, I knew little about honing a scythe,but I followed the Boss's instructions,applying a whetstone so vigorously that itproduced a shower of sparks. After a fewrehearsals my scythe was dangerouslysharp. Nearly every night, as I tried toplease our author and director, I cut myfinger on that damned scythe, drippingblood on my white robe.

During one rehearsal the Boss roared outa command to halt, right after one of mylines. Everybody in the large cast cameonstage to get the word. When he hadcomplete silence, the Boss made the fol-lowing observation in his most ironictones:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I want you allto pay attention to the way Dr. Tresidderplays his part. You must all realize that heknows a great deal about the theater. He iscertified as an authority on the subject byhis doctor of philosophy degree. Now,ladies and gentlemen, you will notice thatall that knowledge and prestige don't seemto have had the slightest effect on his abil-ity to read his lines properly and accom-pany them with effective action. Dr.Tresidder could not doubt give us an ed-ifying lecture on the theory of drama, butright now I'd like to have him give a littleof his scholarly attention to this play. Let'sget on with the show."

I was embarrassed and resentful, but hewas immediately jovial again. He had putme in correct perspective. Whenever af-terward I was inclined to be pretentious orcomplacent, I remembered that moment ofcorrosive truth.

In spite of that devastating scene, AlecDrummond was seldom destructive in hiscriticism. Through his pain-wracked bodyand far-ranging mind flowed bubbles ofhumor that burst into occasional laughter.He was a lonely man, like Cooper a bach-elor, swinging between his massivecrutches, anxious never to arouse sympa-thy, choosing to scald rather than be gentle,which might seem to be a sign of weak-ness.

A frustrated giant, he often allowedbitterness to dominate him, then threw it

28 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS

off with a display of searing wit. He des-pised his handicap, Γm sure, but thecrutches gave him a strange power. Hemoved more rapidly then we could walk,and even seated, the crutches crouchingobediently beside him, like cheetahs readyto spring at an enemy, he gave the im-pression of great, controlled strength.

Those who worked with him extrava-gantly admired him and were afraid ofhim, wishing they could get closer to him,but wary that he might interpret any dis-play of affection as pity. Once I saw himfall when his crutches slipped on ice. Al-most savagely refusing any assistance, hepulled himself to his feet and glowered atbystanders who might be inclined to feel

sorry for him.Drummond lived to see his dream of a

decentralized, regional theater come true.His students became heads of importantdepartments of drama all over the UnitedStates, carrying out his belief that asBroadway's costs encouraged slickness andproven formulas and discouraged experi-ment and innovation, the university theatercould afford to revive the plays of the past,try new ideas, ignore the box office. He wasdeeply interested in indigenous drama andhelped young writers to create out of whatthey knew instead of imitating Broadwaysuccesses. The man who deprecated aca-demic slogging and never bothered withmore than a master's degree himself madeCornell's PhD in play production widelyrespected, justifying it in the enormousgrowth of schools of drama in many uni-versities, which today hold the initiativeand vitality that much of the commercialtheater has lost.

I was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in myjunior year. Lane Cooper, who wore thebiggest Phi Bete key I have ever seen,taught me the handclasp at the inductionceremony and congratulated me with suchwarmth that I thought all the better ofmyself. There were sixteen of us in what weconsidered the elite junior group. Beingelected in the senior year didn't mean asmuch because there were too many takenin at that time and, since most of them leftthe campus, they had less opportunity toswagger.

In those days before wrist-watches, whenall men wore vests, the mark of the suc-cessful collegian was the number of keys,indicating membership in various societies,hanging from their watch-chains, plus thestickpins and fraternity pins. You had thechoice of stretching your watch-chain be-tween the upper or the lower pockets ofyour vest, putting the load of keys eitherover your fly or just above the navel. Thelatter was more conspicuous, and Phi Betesusually liked that position for maximumvisibility.

Our undergraduate chapter of Phi BetaKappa decided to make it a good deal morethan a society which rewarded ability to getgood grades. During 1928 the oldest fra-ternity in the United States became a socialand athletic club at Cornell. We hadparties and dances and entered teams in theinterfraternity sports league. At the end ofthe year we stood second among all thenearly sixty fraternities on campus in thenumber of points won in team competition,and would have been first if we had foundenough bona fide Phi Betes to enter moreteams.

We knew we were making a kind ofgesture of defiance, to prove that membersof Phi Beta Kappa were not necessarily"greasy grinds," and we had a lot of fun

that year. Professors weren't likely todown-grade students certified by theirshiny Phi Beta Kappa keys, and none of ushad to work very hard. We maintained ourmomentum and still had time to get toknow each other, talk endlessly, and lookdown our noses at our classmates stillstruggling for grades and membership onteams or in glee clubs or other activities,which might get them tapped for "seniorsocieties."

My ten years at Cornell (counting foursummers of work for a master's degree asfull years) were among the happiest andmost stimulating of my life. My later ex-periences at other universities and mydaughter's and her friends' comments ontheir teachers and impressions of collegelife have convinced me that I was luckyindeed to have known Cornell during the'20s and early '30s.

Other universities may have had—andpossibly still have—the rare combinationof brilliance and challenge that Cornell hadduring those splendid years. But wars anddepressions and intellectual revolutions andgeneration gaps have made learning for itsown sweet sake less "relevant" than it usedto be. Universities are concerned these dayswith management, socioeconomics, com-puter science, and other studies morehelpful than comparative literature andphilosophy in our pragmatic society. Iwonder if there's anything left of the oldCornell?

"I also remember one of the talesHugh "Huey" Jennings '04 told the baseballteam when I traveled with its members; but thestory is not about a Cornell home run. It is abouta home run in one of the major league gamesnear the Mississippi R. The league playerknocked the ball over the fence, and it landed onthe deck of a ship. It didn't stop until it got toNaples. Huey told us that story on our way southto spring training.

you as it came to me from Harvey Johnson:"Arthur Cotins, who in his college days was themost crippled person on the campus, passedaway in early Dec in Atlanta, Ga . . . his bodywas flown to Utica for burial. Before retiring hehad been a successful advertising man, havingbeen a partner in the firm of Moser and Cotinsin Utica. He was 92 yrs of age." In the last fewmonths several of you have written asking fornews of Arthur Cotins. This is the first we haveheard about him in that time.

We thank Harvey, who writes in a reminiscentvein comparing the world of our youth with theone in which we live today. "As I look up frommy typewriter I see a picture which shows amachine supported in the air by a combinationof bamboo and canvas in which I spent manyhappy hrs. Recollections, though probably bor-ing to others, are among today's happy memo-ries." Doubtless that was Harvey's 1st ac-quaintance with the "flying machine."

Another gap in our ranks occurred a yr agoand has only now been reported. Arthur K Bobbdied Jan 14, 1977, in Sewell, NJ.

Sarah Fraser Ferguson was a member of ourclass for such a short time that very few of usknew her at all. However, in recent yrs she hasexpressed pleasure in being associated with us.She had been living in Fla for some time anddied on Dec 17, 1977, in Ft Lauderdale, at theage of 92. Memorial services were scheduled forJan 8 at her former home in Wellsville, Ohio.Another of the women of the class, Helen DudleyBull, a retd Cornell prof, died on Jan 14, 1978,at the age of 91. Helen and her husb, Dr H GBull Dr H G Bull '08, were graduated ifrom theMed Coll inl911. She was the top graduate ofthe class. She left a fine record of service throughher medical skill and a family to carry on thework she was doing. One son, Dr ChristopherBull '43, MD'47, is on the staff of the GannettClinic at Cornell. The other son, Gifford '42, M

Aero E '48, is a prof at Mississippi State U. Herfour daughters are scattered across the countryfrom NY to Alaska.

Stella (Heilbrunn) and Harry Marshak almostsucceeded in winning our vote for holidaying inFla when they wrote of their pleasure there inideal summer conditions just as we were pullingout of the worst winter storm in yrs! There'smuch to be said about their good judgment. Butthere's also much to be said for the hardy soulsof the same vintage who face winter under moredifficult conditions of the North and maintaina gay spirit as they celebrate the special birth-days which bring their 80s to a close.

Lulu Smith Howard's stepchildren organizeda bang-up birthday party for her in Dec. We'llnot go into details about it, but Lulu says, "I wascompletely surprised." Friends from far and nearturned up and the Berkshire Eagle gave herquite a write-up upon the occasion. It all addedup to an expression of very real appreciation ofthe fine service Lulu has rendered her commu-nity for so many yrs.

From Laughlintown, Pa, Felix Kremp writes:"In 1967 my wife suffered a stroke which partlyparalyzed her left side. However, she is atpresent in excellent health. Prior to 1967, we had10 yrs of extensive traveling over Europe and theFar East by auto, railroad, and freighter. Atpresent, I am able to help in the care of ourwoodland property, from which we cut each yrenough 'dead wood' to run two fireplaces allwinter. Our interest now is in our home andproperty as our days of travel are over."

William A Schnedeker is in a retirement vil-lage in Hendersonville, NC. The village provideslife care and consists of various sized apts, cot-tages, and a so-called medical center, fullyequipped and licensed by the state. "Our mostimportant news is our continued relatively goodhealth and, approaching our 60th anniv nextFeb, our happy married life together.'

Another classmate who lives in a retirementhome with his wife is Bleecker Marquette. Hewrites from Winter Park, Fla: "My health isgood. For yrs we traveled a great deal—fivetimes to Europe, 4 months in the Canary Isls,and I have been in every state in the union exceptAlaska. Although I retd in 1961,1 continued tobe active in the Better Housing League of Cin-cinnati and the Public Health Federation of thatcity. In May 1976, the U of Cincinnati gave mea degree—Doctor of Humane Letters."

Anna Woodward Richardson, of 128 MapleKnoll Terrace, Cincinnati, Ohio, reports: "Wemoved to this new retirement village last May.It is only 4 miles from town where we lived for55 yrs, so we keep our old friends while makingnew ones. A Montessori School meets in themain building and I take the children on naturewalks in spite of using a cane because of arthritis.Our family reunion at Thanksgiving of 21members lacked only our oldest grandson, wholives in Germany with his German wife and twobilingual children. Not many Cornellians amongthe 350 residents here." (Anna, we have 14Cornellians here at Shell Point Village and theVillage chorus always opens its meeting with"Far Above Cayuga's Waters.")

No detailed report from Sergei Falinsky,whose address is: 438-B Portsmouth Dr, Lake-wood, NJ. Bradford Hardie, of El Paso, Texas,reports: "Since retiring in 1960,1 have done verylittle architectural work—just for relatives. LastJan we moved into an apt and I have no gar-dening to do. My only hobby is photography.There is a nice swimming pool in the backyardwhich draws our five granddaughters over herein the summer. Our younger son, who lives inWeston, Mass, has a daughter and a son—Bradford II—who is in his 5th yr in the VetCollege. He rowed on one of the freshman 8-oared crews for a while.

Charles wrote saying: "I've been aCPA. for all those yrs and never had anything todo with civil engrg." My only excuse for thiserror is that Charles has always been civil.Congratulations to Birge Kinne for his splendidletter of Nov '77 which described his dream thatended with his fall from bed as he was about tocongratulate Wally Young for raising $1 million.Frank Thomas wrote Birge saying: "Why don'tyou try to get the classmates who are widowedand have no children to leave a portion of theirestate to the 'class fund' rather than to somedistant relative or charity? I am doing this."Thanks Frank. Great idea!

May I remind all those living in the vicinity ofNYC that the Class of 1919 has invited us to aWar Classes luncheon at the CC of NYC on Apr26. These luncheons are great fun and are wellworth the trip into the City. Please phone orwrite the club a day or two ahead of time if youplan to attend.

These lines are being typed in Tucson, Ariz,where I have been evading the Eastern storms.I have been greatly interested in reading GeorgeKephart's new book, Campfires Rekindled, andhave loaned my copy to Heinie Boggis, who liveshere in Tucson most of the yr but returns to hishome in Cleveland for the hot weather. Heiniehas done a lot of camping in the North Woods,so will enjoy Kep's opus as much as I have.

Another stamp collector in the class has beenlocated, Joe Gray of Elizabeth, NJ, who retdfrom the Bell Labs in 1955. Joe and Madelinecelebrated their 50th anniv last yr. Their sons areboth married and have children of their own. JoeJr, an Amherst man, lives near Atlanta, Ga, butno overdrafts have been reported. Son Willsonwent to Washington and Lee, and lives nearbyin New Brunswick, NJ.

Bob and Elenor Hendee moved to Coronadoin 1975. Their house is right by the ocean, andBob enjoys sitting in his wheel chair andwatching all the beach activities. One of hisdaughters lives next door and has six children,so there is never a dull moment. Bob would haveloved to be with us all at Reunion, but it wasimpossible.

Otis R "Dock" Marston of San Franciscomaintains his great interest in the Grand Can-yon. He is writing the history of the first navi-gation of the Colorado River. Dock was the 1stman to ever pilot a motor boat down the canyon,and was the organizer of the only cruise that evermade it up the river. Bob Malott, Deane Mal-ott's son, was with him on a cruise.

Andy's eyesight has beenfailing because of a deterioration of the retina.I'm afraid I'm following in his footsteps as I nowhave to rely on a reading glass to do any closework. However, I can still enjoy gazing at theglorious mountains surrounding Tucson. WhenMary Susan Albertson moved to Fla in 1926, shewas delighted to find a Cornellian next door,Helen Acorb Pfafflin '20. Naturally, many oftheir activities were joint interests. In the '40s,the Pfafflins bought 5 acres in the West PalmBeach area, and Mary Susan acquired a smallerlot. Through the yrs they have kept the placeunder control despite much competition from thesquirrels who have a great appetite for theiravocados and oranges.

And what a roughmonth Jan was; we hope all of you survived it.Bob Moody, of Rushville, is one who did survive.Bob retd 15 yrs ago from teaching. Was onOntario Cnty Civil Serv Comm many yrs; Townof Gorham supvr 4 yrs; now is town historian. In1976 he published two local histories; edits thelocal Historical Soc newsletter. Bob has attendedmost Reunions and "looks forward to" thisJune.

Sixty yrs ago—Apr 6—the "War Issue" ofthe Sun announced "the marriage of MarionKnowles '20 to Edwin Glen Olds." How thatbrings back our hectic sr yr: young men droppingout to enlist; news from camps and foreign fields(Apr 7, "Edward Kerr, LLB '12 in town; has justwon a capt's comm"); co-eds marrying theirsweethearts . . . . But we found time for dancefetes, and pageants: Apr 10 I was electedchairman of committee for Dance Fete to beMay 4 in Risley Court. The fete was a success;raised about $200 for the Red Cross.

Howard Hawks was "one of Hollywood'spremier dirs for more than 50 yrs," according toa news clipping sent us by Harold Tyler '15. Hewas born in Goshen, Ind, May 30, 1896, in a"well-to-do family in paper mfg . . . . YoungHoward attended Pasadena H S and later Cor-nell." We wonder: Did he earn a bit of money hisfreshman yr in Ithaca film studios as an extra?In 1917 he was hired as a prop boy for FamousPlayers-Lasky in the production of The LittlePrincess, starring Mary Pickford. After servingin the Air Corps in France in WWI, Hawks re-turned to Lasky, trying his hand as story writer,editor, then dir. His first tryout as dir was inDawn Patrol, one of the first talking motionpictures. He is credited with making stars ofJohn Wayne, Lauren Bacall, Jane Russell,among many. Classmates will be able to addother titles of films he directed, such as SgtYork.

Regretfully, we announce the death of Kath-erine McMurry Benson, pres of our women'sgroup. Kay died Dec 5 at her summer home onQuaker Hill, Pawling. "Cornell always filled agreat place in her life," wrote her daughter, PageBenson Kelly '47, "even though it didn't (admit)her grandson and her triplet granddaughters."Kay was in Raven & Serpent, on the bd ofCornell Women's Review, and was Phi BetaKappa. She and her husb Beverly Benson '17 alsohad a son, Beverley '52, and a daughter, BarbaraBenson Mansell '41.

Ella Zurbrick Browning (Mrs Robert A) diedNov 8, 1977, in Buffalo. We express to her sisterEmily our deep regret. Also, Sister Mary Pa-tricia Brown, Sisters of Mercy, died in Oct. Atour 1973 Reunion, Sister Mary Patricia was atall our get-togethers and enjoyed all events. Butshe had many health problems in the next fewyrs. In 1977 she was still helping students inmath at Mercy Coll. Our classmate, Edward SStone DVM died Oct 5 in Waverly. He spent hislife in vet med. He was in WWI, and in 1977 wasthe oldest member of Waverly MethodistChurch.

Friend Charlie Muller has been spending thewinter in Colo. In 1977 he published a "western,which uses the Colo Mt area, especially themining area of Silverton and Ouray, for back-ground." Title: Bloody Sundown. Charlie ex-pects to be with us in June at Ithaca. We notethat last yr Sage Coll cafeteria was expandedfrom two rooms on the 1 st floor to six on base-ment and Ist-floor levels. Most of this is givenover to Co-op Dining, the meal plan for students.The number of seats is now 400. Shades of thepast! We suppose that the coeds' gym andswimming pool (bathtub, really) have long sincevanished, as well as those much-frequentedpublic rooms where dates lovingly lingered!

Time magazine in Nov had an article on the"Vanishing Home-Town Editor." In it, John SKnight is mentioned as exercising "self-restraintin inflicting his decided views on the 34-paperKnight-Ridder chain.. . . Knight, an Eisenhowerconservative . . . lost a son in WWII. . . . Hewarned against US involvement in SE Asia andcontinued to oppose the war in his 'Editor'sNotebook,' which went out to all his papers."

Editors did not have to publish his views. In theend, Knight's 'Notebook' won a Pulitzer Prize.Jack's most recent travel was on the Concordeto Paris "to see the Arc de Triomphe." His re-tirement "consists of 4 yrs daily at the office."

Seth says he maynot make it to Ithaca in June but he'll be therefor our 60th in '79.

Mike also says that Teddy and H Cushman"Ho" Ballou '20 regret there was no mini-re-union in Sarasota this yr, and that Janet andColonel Brown wrote: "I made a fairly good re-covery from the light stroke I had. It mainlyaffected my near vision and handwriting but notmy typriter (sic)." (We note that it didn't affectyour sense of humor, either. That's good.) "Janetbroke her leg and ankle last summer and theankle is still healing." We hope it will be all OKby the time you read this. His son, Albert LBrown '48, PhD '51, spent 6 weeks last yr inAustralia and New Zealand, lecturing to vets.Also, he had a freak auto accident which laidhim up for wks recovering from severe cuts andbruises. Mike wishes to thank these classmatesand all the others who sent cards.

Mike also enclosed a copy of the '16 Mar issuenotes, sent to him by Allan W Carpenter '16,from which I quote: "Ed Leibman, exec com-mittee, just left your scribbler on Jan 1 afterdrinking to the health of '16, '19, PresidentsRhodes, Murray N Shelton '16 and Hendrie. Weall second the motion, Ed, and please have an-other Jack Daniels on the rocks!" (We of '19would like to join you, if somebody will pleasestep up with a few cases of the good old sour-mash.)

Mike also sent me several more pages of re-vised, updated, and expanded history of theClass of ' 19 on which he is doing a bang-up job.And he also reminded me that the mini-reunionnumber 6 of WWI classes will be held on Wed,Apr 26, at the CC of NYC. Make a note of thisdate in case Mike's letter gets lost in the mailslike the last two have.

A nice letter from Aaron Kaufman tells of 5months of "beautiful experiences" in travel withMrs K during 1977: Palm Beach to NY; to SanFrancisco, taking in Yosemite, Carmel, LakeTahoe; then 23 days in Hawaii; then along thecoast of Cal and Ore to Seattle and Victoria;then Colo Springs (2 wks); then to NYC; toMunich, with 3 months in Germany, Austria,Italy; then back to NY and Palm Beach.

The mid-winter program of CACO in theNYC Statler Hilton was stimulating and en-joyable. The highlight was probably Frank H TRhodes who visited luncheon tables, shookhands, and gave an excellent address.

HelenMeyer saved a poster of Jan 1918 showing theRed Cross mobilization of Cornell women.Currently she is busy overseeing repairs andimprovements at her brick house. Helen islooking forward to our 60th. So is Irene FrankGill, who is well, very busy, and hopes to be inher home town, Oil City, Pa, in May andJune.

Mary McCune Brunstetter taught home econe yr, waiting for husb, an alum of City Coll,U of Pittsburgh, to pass Bar exams. They movedin '25 from Pittsburgh to Coral Gables as one ofFla's pioneer families and lived through boomand bust periods. Her husb was mayor of thetown. In '35, he became trustee of the U ofMiami. He died in '73. Her job was to see he hada clean shirt, morning and night. Mary says sheis doing well for her age, but like an old rubberband, she doesn't snap back as she did 60 yrsago.

This is supposed to be a spring greeting—butwith a blizzard raging outside and the temper-ature at zero we can't seem to work up enoughenthusiasm to write about it. This reminds us ofa note from Allerton Eddy in Canaan who saysthe forests of northwestern Conn have thempretty well hemmed in. He neglected to mentionthat those 16- and 18-ft snow drifts in Jan did apretty good job of it too. He claims, however,that their "extra curricular" activities keep themoccupied.

This yr the weather cooperated sufficiently sothat I was able to attend the CACO mtg at theStatler-Hilton in NYC on Jan 28. It was inter-esting to meet those who manage and publish theAlumni News; so when I hear from ElsieMcMillan Peterson '55 she is not just a name. Isaw practically no one I knew among so many,but some members of the class of '54 invited meto sit with them at the luncheon. They hadknown my nephew, Bill Hazzard '52, MD '56.The lecture on recombinant DNA research wasgiven by Prof Richard O'Brien, dir of the div ofbiological sciences. The highlight of the day wasthe speech given at the luncheon by the recently

inaugurated Pres Frank H T Rhodes. PresRhodes came to each table and shook hands witheach of us. We spoke of a shared interest—U ofMich. He was a vice pres of that institution, andI had received an MA in mathematics there in1941.

Do you retirees, now basking in the sun belt,gloating in the choice of climate you made foryour senior yrs, ever wonder what became of theold fashioned "Ithaca winters?" Well the answeris "not much." They are still reality; it has beensnowing off and on for the past two months, andgaloshes are a way of life for some of us. Youhave evidence of this on your TV screen, but nowyou are going to get an eye-witness report. Thisis the 3rd day we have been snowbound: notransportation, no mail, and not much relief insight. But save your pity. We have beauty onevery hand. We have ample food, lots of fuel forthe wood stove, and feather beds are still very,very comfortable.

So, turn your eyes from this universe of iceand snow to the balmy shores of North PalmBeach. Forget the galoshes, and think bathingsuits; forget about snowdrifts, and think aboutthe Sunshine State. Fla seems to be the centerof gravity for the Class of '24: 84 signed up forthe mini-reunion a full month in advance. Weare seeking to lure those who have never at-tended previous minis. This one will include: FloDaly, Winifred Zimmerman Doudna, David andHannah Green, Eleanor Bayuk Green, DorisHopkins, Miriam Nathan Kobacker, FlorenceDean Prosser, May A Regan '21, John and SylviaSeibel, RC and Olive Van Sickle, Marge (Pίgott)Wedell (Mrs Carl). We make an effort to getfirst-timers, because they naturally becomeautomatic repeaters.

If there are any classmates who think that Flamini-reunions are only for fat cats, may I remindyou that I will fly down for $55, and return bybus for the same price, with 150 Ibs of fruit,stopping to see relatives and friends en route. Ittook these minis to get me to Fla, although I havelong since had good reasons for going, and theminis get me back yr after yr.

Having heard from our Dr Alice Heyl Kies-sling last month, I'm happy to have a report onthe doings of atty Grace H Connell who has beentrying her utmost to retire. "But some of mylong-standing clients are forever getting involvedin something or other," she says. Grace's lifehasn't been all work, however, as faithful quin-quennial reunees know. This past yr she joinedthe alumni group's tour to Australia, NewZealand, and Tahiti. While in Christchurch,NZ, Grace attended a criminal trial, a changeof pace from corporate law. In her contacts withIwyrs from Seattle, Chicago, and Detroit, she

was "invigorated by the enthusiasm and abilityof the young women Iwyrs."

As a member of the Natl Assn of WomenLwyrs, Grace tries to attend regional and annualmtgs, and recently co-chaired its Montreal mtg.With her sister Elizabeth (whom some of us metin the days of Dahme-sponsored luncheons of theCWC of NYC), she took a vacation by bus intothe Blue Grass country (NB, Tucky MarksburyBaker), thence down into Carter country andback to the Bronx via the Carolinas and DC.Later, Hibernian blood not to be slighted, theyflew to Dublin, visiting friends there and inDonegal and other parts of Erin.

Grace has high praise for the alumni-spon-sored trips, and point blank asked me, "Whydon't you ever take any of them?" Well, Grace,I've already covered most of their itineraries,including a wonderful solo of 2 wks in Ireland 10yrs ago. As I'm only Vs Irish, that will be it, butI'll never forget the joy those JFK half-dollar tipsgave the Irish people. In Aug the Connell sisterswill be off for France and the Moselle-Rhinearea. Her letter ended: "In Feb '78, I'm going toNew Orleans with the women Iwyrs. Deo vol-ente—you see, Gebby, I do get around."

Highlights of thebusiness session featured the speech by Cornell'snew Prexy, Frank Rhodes. The chief exec turnsout to be top drawer. Any man who can speakextemporaneously for 45 minutes and hold anaudience's attention has to be good. Rhodes is aprofessional. Cornell is fortunate to have him onthe Hill!

By the time this material reaches print, theFla mini-reunion will be a matter of record. Itwill be reported on in detail in this column. Byinvitation, I expect to be on deck to cover theevent.

Every now and then we receive a note from aclassmate we had thought of as lost. This timeRobert W Andrews wrote that he had had a yisitfrom Roger Quick, whom he had not seen sinceCornell days. We must admit that Bob is onestep ahead of us as we have not yet seen Roger.

APRIL 1978 39

Bob is retd and lives with his wife in Kitty Hawk.He and Fran traveled through the Far East morethan a yr ago and visited Maya country in theYucatan and Guatemala last spring. (I don'tknow about Bob and Fran, but Ruth and I rec-ommend the Mayan tour.)

A recent note from Joe Cuzzi, (whose homeand office are near mine in Mt Vernon), sug-gested that he would like to have lunch once ina while with me and Bob Gleckner, who also livesin Pelham Manor. Could be. Several days laterwe had a call from Bob, a recruiter for the Ex-ecutive Services group which tries to place retdexecs for 2 to 3 months in advisory capacities toindustries outside this country. No pay is in-volved, but expenses for the exec and spouse arepaid. Unfortunately, we are not retd (or is itfortunately?).

Another classmate from whom we have nowheard is Morton N Wekstein, whose home is notfar distant from our office.

It seems to be an unwritten law that the an-nual CACO meeting be held in NYC on thecoldest Sat in Jan. It was worth the suburbancrack-of-dawn arising to attend the AlumniNews workshop, listen to Prof Richard O'Brien'senlightening mini-lecture on "RecombinantDNA," and hear the excellent address given byour new and personable President Frank HTRhodes. Mary Shields Emert and Frankie Youngwere the other '31 women present. NY's frigidweather may have seemed balmy to Frankie,fresh from Ithaca's snow and icy blasts.

Eleanor Gray Howells has retd from her Vistaposition at a Madison, Wise, Older Adult DayCenter for handicapped elderly people. Shewrites that she will soon start a temporary jobdoing outreach work. We'd like to hear moreabout this. (Don '30 and I deliver meals to theelderly and have learned what a help this is tothose who want to keep going in their ownhomes.)

While huntingonce again for the excellent pictures someonetook as a money-making project while we werein Cornell — which seem to be lost since our movehere — I found the orange folder of news pub-lished to call all girls to the Reunion in 1958.Eugenia Gould Huntoon was then our pres, andwith apologies to James Russell Lowell, openedthe gazette with a poem entitled "Till We Meetin June" that I've updated to fit 1978:And what is so rare as a day in June?Then, if ever, come perfect days;Then Cornellians return to the heights above

Cayuga,And in the Tower softly the carillon plays.Whether we come for a day or a weekend,Cornell bids us welcome and claims us anew;Each returning grad feels a surge of affection,An old allegiance that awakens and stirs,As, throwing aside her everyday cares,She reunes with her classmates of former

years.The graying hair may well be seen,In spite of modern tints and dyes;Once youthful figures are mature and round-

ed.Make-up covers unwelcome lines,And there's never an alum who fails to findThe hills much steeper than in former times.The Forty-fifth Reunion is the best of all;From picnic to rally, from dusk to dawn,With singing and laughing and greeting old

friends.Who cares that this glad time soon will be

gone?Your gay apparel plan you now,And plan your trip from far or near;For in June '78 we'll meet againAnd celebrate our 45th yr.

Happiness is knowing nature gives to everytime and season some special beauty all itsown.

Benjamin Pasamanick (AB), Albany MedColl of Union U, Albany, was the rebuttal wit-ness in a precedent-shattering Indiana trial. Ajury in Lake Cnty found a doctor guilty of mal-practice on the grounds that 23 yrs ago he pre-scribed an inadequate diet to a pregnant womanwhich caused her daughter to be mentally re-tarded. The doctor received a $50,000 fine. Thisis a precedent-setting case—not because it islikely to occur again (it is considered a fluke inInd law), but because it gives judicial recognitionto the importance of proper nutrition duringpregnancy. Since this decision, the Ind Legis-lature has passed a law generally restrictingmalpractice suits and providing that cases in-volving childbirth must be brought up before thechild becomes eight. Other states seeking to curbthe costly effects of malpractice suits are movingin the same direction.

Benjamin, a research psychiatrist, is an ad-junct prof of pediatrics and epidemiology atColumbia U, of psychology at NYU, of com-munity and preventive med at NY Med Coll,

and is the Sir Aubrey and Lady Hilda Lewis profof social psychiatry at the NY School of Psy-chiatry, of which he was pres. He has receivednumerous awards and honors, notably the firstHofheimer research prize of the AmericanPsychiatric Assn in 1949 for his work on infantdevelopment of blacks. In 1967, he became theonly one to be awarded it a second time, for re-search in schizophrenia. He was the only psy-chiatrist in the 70-year history of the CutterLectureship at Harvard, delivering lectures andslides on the continuum of reproductive casualty.His latest book, written with his wife HildaKnobloch, prof at Albany Med Coll, is the 3rdedition of Gesell and Amatruda's DevelopmentDiagnosis, which also has been published inJapanese and is soon to appear in Spanish. Wecongratulate you, Benjamin, and hope for somemore good work soon.

Robert Olmsted, your class scty, composed aletter at the NY mtg of CACO on Jan 28 whichhas been forwarded to Libby Hemsath Deprosseto get in the works as soon as possible. The on-the-spot confrontation with the state of the classwas a bit rough for the officers; we need thesupport of everyone if we are to get where weshould be this many yrs after graduation. Thatwe were a war class did not promote a feeling of

cohesiveness as many left and returned—pos-sibly to affiliate with another class or, for onereason or another, to lose that feeling of identitywith classmates. However, that fact cannot beused to cushion our responsibility to Cornell, theclass, and ourselves in terms of personal pride inour association, at this point. Please read theletter carefully, and get out the check book onlyafter thought and deliberation so that the classis the recipient of your maximum capability.

Libby asked me to extend a hearty thank youto those who responded to her personal appeal.This made a welcome contribution. Libby hasdone a yeoman's job at home base; a great dealof the class responsibility has fallen on hershoulders. The best way to reward her efforts isto dig deep.

Having had Bob Olmsted right there wherehe couldn't escape giving news, I can now tellyou about our scty and his family. Bob is dir oftransportation planning for NY's MTA, as wellas co-founder and dir of an outfit called M AU-DEP (Metropolitan Assn of Urban Designersand Environmental Planners) which holds con-ferences and inspection trips abroad for designprofessionals. He has led a trip to Russia to lookat the Moscow subway. Daughter ElizabethOlmsted '74, graduated from Harvard LawSchool and is now a Iwyr with the Wall St firmof Sullivan and Cromwell. Sons Alan, 15, andLarry, 12, are still thinking of hs.

Jerry Schiller aas the only other classmate atthe NYC mtg. He commented on the lack ofnews in the Alumni News, which ruffled myfeathers slightly having been pushing valiantlyto try to make certain our allotted columns wereused. Naturally, I immediately asked Jerry forbiographical notes for this column. He startedto write standing by the table but then promisedhe would put them in the mail as soon as he gothome. No word from Jerry! I am making a pointof this because Jerry's reaction is quite typical.People decry the lack of news but don't seem tocorrelate their contribution with getting a col-umn published.

My daughter is waiting to hear where she willgo next yr to work toward a BS in nursing. Itreminds me of the summer I waited to hearwhether I would be able to transfer from Buck-nell to Cornell in the fall of '42.1 was a counselorat camp sitting with a table full of little Brownieswhen my father called to read the telegram tome, "Glad another Dilts is on her way to Cor-nell," signed Eugene F Bradford, dir of admis-sions. If you are thinking I might have gotten tothe promised land through pull, you may wellhave made the right assumption. But somehowthe "how" doesn't seem the least bit important;that I did make it has meant so much throughthe yrs.

Please do me a favor. Before you read theletter to the class, put the recording of the1948-49 Glee Club on your stereo (if you arelucky enough to have it). A trip down memorylane with Howard Heinsius '50 singing the"Soldier Song" and Erwin Davis '50, the"Alumni Song," as well as the whole Glee Clubsinging "The Alma Mater" and "The EveningSong" should do more than all the words I couldpossibly think to pen.

To close in a lighter vein, a question for all you"milk punch" addicts: Whose "raunchy" tennissocks were reputed to have been found in theSunday-morning punch at Sigma Chi?

I'm at home pondering the 2-plus ft of snowoutside that gives me the opportunity not to goto Times Square but to think about the sun, theBahamas ahead of me, and things to do otherthan shovel it, such as reading an account of theRev Walter Dockerill (St Marks Church,Boynton, Fla) winning the first Clergymen'sInterfaith Tennis Tournament in Miami, a whileback. Added to his captaincy of the tennis team,that we all know about, was the Seoul City armychampionship, the NYS jr doubles and mixeddoubles championship, and membership on thejr Davis Cup team. With that behind him, youcan draw your own conclusions as to his com-ment: "I'm over the hill, I'm strictly a hack-er."

One can't write about tennis without men-tioning others on the great '51 team. The Timesrecently noted that a young NYC championplayed several times a wk with Dick Savitt.Dick's doubles partner at Cornell, as I recall, wasLeonard L Steiner (Woodlands Rd, Harrison).Len presumably packs his racket as he pursueshis real estate development and brokeragebusiness in Fla. He's also active in Cornell ac-tivities: Univ Council, fund-raising, and some-thing called the real estate committee. (Nowthat the elms are down, think of the number oftennis courts that would fit on the Quadran-gle.)

Other tennis buffs in the folder: William BPhilipbar (21 South Shore Dr, Dover, Del) whois pres of Rollins Environmental Service Inc inWilmington, engaged in hazardous waste mgt.I suppose when du Pont is done with it, they layit on Rollins. No invidious connection intended,but I read that Clarence T Shock (6304 ShadowWood Dr, Prospect, Ky) moved from Newark(pronounced New—Ark by those in the know)to be supt at du Font's Neoprene plant inLouisville.

Another tennis player is Stafford B Beach Jr(12 Greenwood Dr, Wellesley Hills, Mass).Sandy is technical mgr at Avco systems div inWilmington, Mass. A daughter is at George-town, a son is at U of Miami, and his wife is of-fice mgr at Northeast Public Power in Wellesley.Another son is Jeff '76. A couple of more tennisplayers for the Bill Phillips memorial Reuniontournament in '81 are Paul Baren (Greenswood,Purdys Station), who remodels old houses on abusman's holiday from Skidmore, Owings &Merrill, and Samuel J Serata (20 Franklin St,Bridgeton, NJ), who practices law and does allthe rest of the good works: United Fund, Ch ofCommerce, and the like, which a Iwyr is calledon to do.

"Rumor has it that the club is run by a'clique.' Careful investigation would show thatthis is true. Furthermore, you will find that theclique is composed of faithful members who arepresent at all mtgs, who do all the work, who givewillingly of their time, energies, and efforts, andwho sincerely believe that the more they put intothe club, the more they will get out of it. Thereis no question that the enthusiasm, responsibility,and efforts of those members are of inestimablevalue to the club. And it is suggested, therefore,that you join this clique. It is not a difficultmatter to do so—in fact, it is very easy. Begin byattending your club regularly; take a lively in-terest in its activities; accept responsibilities inthe work; never refuse a place of service. Showa continual interest in all affairs pertaining toyour club. Before you realize it, you will becomea member of the clique, and you will be surprisedto know how anxious they are to have you. Don'tcriticize the clique. Join it."

University

Too MuchStop the weather, the campus wants to getoff! Evidence was appearing by early lastmonth that the community had reached thebreaking point when it came to The Winterof 1977-78. January's horrendous back-to-back snow storms did not continue intoFebruary, but cold weather did. Week afterweek of below-freezing temperatures keptsnowbanks on the ground and ice on side-walks. Ithaca was going stir crazy.

One effort that might have broken thepattern was a campus forum on ethics, heldon a Saturday in mid-February. PresidentRhodes was the lead speaker, joined bydignitaries from the present faculty; pro-fessors on leave Alfred Kahn, chairman ofthe Civil Aeronautics Board, and RobertBlakey, counsel to the House Assassina-tions Committee; and Barber Conable '42,a Republican leader in the House of Rep-resentatives.

Attendance was down from a similarevent the year before, however, and fewstudents turned out on what is traditionallya day for student relaxation. In all, 400people were present for opening speechesin Bailey Hall in the morning, and 600 foreight symposia in the afternoon.

Gannett Clinic was busy in early termwith a run of head colds and the commontype of flu. To handle a 40 per cent increasein students calling at the clinic, the staffwas handing out a diagnose-yourselfchecklist designed to help people identifyand treat their own illnesses. The staff wasstill seeing a lot of patients in person, any-one who wanted to be seen.

As evidence of cabin fever, CornellCinema cancelled the showing of an X-rated movie, The Devil in Miss Jones, atStatler Auditorium, citing fear that anuncontrollable crowd would damage thebuilding. A midnight showing of AClockwork Orange was called off last termwhen crowds waiting in Uris Hall becameunruly.

Mardis Gras night at Willard Straightdrew such a crowd the Safety Division hadto prevent more students and townspeoplefrom attending, which drew loud com-

plaints. Big Red hockey fans seemed to goout of their way to be boorish, particularlyat the traditional anything-goes game,against Harvard, at Lynah Rink^ CoachDick Bertrand '70 said he didn't think deadfish and live chicken deposited on the icewhen the visitors skated out for the thirdperiod helped his team at all.

A columnist for the Sun discussed a"breakdown in self-discipline" and asked,"What is the future of films, parties,sporting events, and lectures at Cornell?"No one answered right away.

One student took umbrage at the prac-tical jokes of another and retaliated bywriting a letter to Penthouse, the girliemagazine, claiming to be an ROTC stu-dent at a large Ivy school whose sex life hadimproved, mostly because he was inROTC. Cornell is the only Ivy school withROTC, and the offending jokester was anROTC student. The adviser to the froshROTC class was philosophical. "It wastaken in a humorous view pretty much upthe line," he said. "There's nothing we cando about it and it's kind of funny."

Older Cornellians, with other Ithacawinters behind them, were generally moresanguine, but even the faculty was testy inone traditional field of sensitivity. Whenthe university Board of Trustees passedchanges in its procedure for electing pro-fessors to tenure, the Faculty Council ofRepresentatives prepared to ask that theaction be rescinded and such matterstalked over with the faculty before theboard moves into this thorny area of poli-cy.

Not all was grim.Students, some 200 of them, took part

again this semester in telephone-calling toraise money for the Cornell Fund. Studentsfrom eight units on the Ithaca campus tookpart.

And several athletic teams had sewed upIvy championships in the fall season andwere taking aim at Eastern and nationalhonors (see The Teams, page 61).

On CampusThe largest lecture room in Goldwin SmithHall will get a $300,000 facelift, new lights,seats, air conditioning, and sound systemthrough a gift of Marjorie Dean Cornell'39 in memory of her late husband, HollisE. Cornell. The room undergoing thechange is the one at the south end of thefirst floor, Lecture Room A.

Work was to get under way last monthon a $1 million library annex on the easternedge of university property, near Varna, tohouse 600,000 little-used periodicals andarchival records. The move is intended tomake room for new acquisitions.

The Campus Council has pulled backsomewhat from a university policy thatpermitted Public Safety officers to photo-graph at public events in anticipation ofviolations of rules of campus order. Thecampus chapter of the Civil LibertiesUnion and some individual students andfaculty members had argued that photo-taking in anticipation of disruptions had a"chilling" effect on free speech. PublicSafety is permitted to photograph duringand after any disruption, to help in identi-fying persons to be charged with the dis-ruptions.

The Department of Geological Scienceshas received an anonymous bequest froman alumnus of at least $5 million, which isto be used to provide more space, profes-sorships, graduate fellowships, and otherexpenses of the department.

The Cornell Campaign for $230 millionannounced its best quarter at the end of lastyear, when nearly $ 11 million was com-mitted, bringing the total of gifts andpledges to $82.4 million after twenty-sixmonths of the sixty-month campaign hadelapsed. The figure did not include the $5million bequest announced at the start ofthe spring term.

The poor rating of New York City andNew York State bonds has kept the uni-versity out of the bond market as a way ofpaying for capital projects for the past

three years, but in January Cornell sold$16.9 million of State Dormitory Authoritybonds, for a variety of already-completedprojects. They had been paid for out ofendowment and current funds, which willnow be replenished. The bonds sold at anaverage interest cost of 6.41 per cent.

Denied an export license to bring 150letters by the British poet William Word-sworth out of England, the university hassold them to a museum in England devotedto his works. The university had bought theletters at auction last fall, for its extensiveWordsworth collection. As part of an effortto prevent the unreasonable loss of nationaltreasures, Great Britain's Board of Tradereviews sales of objects of art abroad.

University Libraries has also returnedto Iceland the handwritten records of theAlthing—that country's equivalent of theUS Supreme Court. How the originalrecords came to be in the extensive CornellIcelandic collection is not known, but theywere discovered recently, duplicated, andthe originals returned as part of the cen-tennial of the birth of the late HalldorHermannsson, first curator of the Fiskecollection of Icelandic materials at Cornell.The documents cover nearly 1,200 pagesand are from the years 1667-1762.

The Medical College in New York Citywill give up its lease of a smaller computerand plug into the university's main IBM370/168 at Ithaca for academic and ad-ministrative computing.

Five men are seeking two alumni seatson the university Board of Trustees thatopen up June 30 with the end of the five-year terms of Robert A. Come '56 andRichard F. Tucker '50. The five are AlbertArent '32, senior partner of the law firm ofArent, Fox, Kintner, Plotkin & Kahn inWashington, DC; James Gibbs '52, pro-fessor of anthropology at Stanford Uni-versity; Jonathan Kaplan '73, a productspecialist with Nalco Chemical Co. inChicago; Michael Kay '61, senior vicepresident for operations of AmericanaHotels, Inc. in New York City; and Sam-uel Seltzer '48, chairman and president ofAllison Corp. in Garwood, New Jersey.Gibbs is a former trustee. All except Ka-plan were put in nomination by the Com-mittee on Alumni Trustee Nominations ofthe Alumni Association. Ballots, mailedMarch 10, are due by May 24.

ResearchA technique developed by a clinical pro-fessor at the Medical College has enabledphysicians to treat the most common formof skin cancer in their offices, and with a 95per cent cure rate. Dr. Douglas Torre de-veloped and refined the technique, knownas cryosurgery, which involves the use ofextreme cold to destroy cell tissue in tumorsand lesions. Until recently the techniquerequired implanting thermocouples underthe tumor to tell when the proper degree ofcold had been delivered. Dr. Torre's ap-proach uses a simple method of determin-ing under-skin freezing from the surface.The most common form of skin cancer,basal cell carcinoma, can now be treated indoctors' offices rather than in hospitals. Inthe past twelve years, Dr. Torre has treatedmore than 2,500 basal cell carcinomacases, 90 per cent by the freezing tech-nique, with a cure rate of better than 95 percent. Because skins cancer normally de-velops on visible parts of the body, it isgenerally diagnosed and treated in earlystages, which contributes to its high curerate. Skin cancer is the most commoncancer in humans.

A university research team will developdesign techniques and study aspects of thesafety of passenger trains now being de-veloped that will ride on magnetic fieldsrather than wheels. Prototype trains arenow being tested in West Germany andJapan, but not over distances or at speedsclose to the 300 miles an hour such trainswill be expected to travel. Prof. Frank C.

Moon, theoretical and applied mechanicalengineering, heads the Cornell project,which will use a model train hovering abovea spinning simulated "track" of magne-tism. Magnetic patterns and eddy currentswill be recorded by an infrared thermalscanner, displayed in color on a televisiontube, and the tube photographed for rec-ord-keeping purposes. The technique iscalled infrared thermography.

The clear-cutting of forests for lumber,a topic about which conservationists dis-agree, is an acceptable practice in theNortheast if done carefully, according toa team of forestry researchers that includesProf. Gene E. Likens, ecology and sys-tematics. They report on a study conductedin New Hampshire which suggests thatclear-cutting every 110 to 120 years allowsland to build up its nutrients between cut-tings. The process, and the slope of the landare factors as well, the researchers reportin the February 3 issue of Science. In"whole tree harvesting," in which trunk,branch, and leaf are all removed, the longerperiod may be required. Dangerous runoffcan occur where hillsides are steep. Theresearchers favored clear-cutting smallenough areas at one time that seeds canblow in from surrounding areas, and soiland downstream damage be minimized.

They SayWalter LaFeber, the Noll professor ofAmerican history, is a leading authority ondiplomatic history but seldom speaks outon current issues. The last few months havebeen an exception, as his book The PanamaCanal put him on the talk show circuit andinto the national spotlight. He favors thetreaties to turn the canal over to Panamain the year 2000. "You have to go to seehow vulnerable the canal is," he explains.The zone is ten miles wide, he notes; there'stalk of defending the canal, but it could berendered unusable if a single ship wereblown up in it. He got into the subject afterbeing asked to develop an experimentalseminar for nonhistory majors and chosethe canal as a subject of current interest tostudy. When he learned there was no cur-rent book on the topic, he wrote one. Hispublisher, Oxford University Press, hurriedup publication to get in ahead of expectedSenate debate this year, and sent him outto promote the book. He got an early bap-tism under fire. On one after-midnight talkshow in New York City, the first callerlabelled him a Communist, the second a"Wall Street tool."

The number of colleges and universitiesgranting some scholarships on the basis ofacademic merit rather than solely on fi-

60 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS

nancial need has gone up from about 54 to71 per cent in two years, according to asurvey and report by the College Schol-arship Service. The stated purpose of suchscholarships was to improve the academicquality of the student body, but fewer than1 in 5 schools had studied the effects to seeif such a goal was being reached. Theschools that did study the effect foundthree-quarters of the students offered suchaid had been influenced in changing theirchoice of schools by the awards. Cornell'sadministration and trustees this year con-sidered a small trial of no-need scholarshipsbut backed away after some campus criti-cism.

Programs to combat youth unemploy-ment must take into account the fact thatfor the past twenty years youth joblessnesshas remained high even when the economywas strong and adult unemployment rateswere low, says Prof. Stephen F. Hamilton,human development and family studies. "Ajob is a key indicator of adult status in oursociety," he says. "Unemployment there-fore prevents young people from becomingadults. The frustration and aimlessnessthat result are surely one cause of increasesin delinquency, suicide, drug use, preg-nancy, and venereal disease among youth.While the adult suicide rate remainedcomparatively stable between 1950 and1974, the rate for white males aged 15 to19 tripled. The peak age for being arrestedfor a violent crime is 18. For crimes againstproperty it is 16. And the only age groupfor whom the birth rate is rising is girlsunder 15." He also noted that giving moreeducation to all youth does not create morejobs.

In a condition of continuing inflation,"instead of paying off the mortgage, mostfamilies would be better off taking on thebiggest mortgage a bank will give them,"according to Prof. E. Scott Maynes, con-sumer economics and housing. If 6 per centa year inflation continues and one's incomekeeps pace with inflation, he says, "Intwelve years your mortgage dollar will takeonly half as much of your income as it didwhen you first borrowed it. In twenty-fiveyears, it will take one-quarter as much.. .so inflation favors debtors, as does the in-come tax system. The larger the mortgagepayment, the more interest can be de-ducted from taxable income on federal andstate tax forms. Property taxes also can bededucted."

Prof. Kenneth L. Robinson, MS Ag '47,agricultural economics, says don't blamefarmers or the US government for higherfood prices. Two-thirds of every food dollargoes to middlemen and marketing anddistribution costs, and government policiesdirectly influence no more than 10 to 15 percent of what the consumer ultimately

spends on food, according to Robinson.Only selected commodities such as sugar,dairy products, and grain are significantlybutressed by price supports against foreigncompetition. Higher prices on orange juice,lettuce, coffee, tea, cocoa, and fish—"allcommodities over which the US govern-ment has little or no control"—contributethe most to recent rises in the consumerprice index. "When there's a freeze inBrazil or a drought in West Africa, there'slittle the importing countries can do to limitprice increases." Instead Robinson sug-gested consumers "refrain from buyingitems in short supply or switch to substi-tutes" as a way of driving prices down.

The TeamsThe men's lacrosse and heavyweight row-ing squads were preparing to defend theirnational titles, and the baseball team itsEastern college league title, even as thewinter squads headed into the final roundsof a successful season. Regional and na-tional tournaments still remained in somesports. Men's and women's hockey, wom-en's gymnastics, and men's track and fieldhad been the most outstanding.

APRIL 1978 61

The winter season ended in a fog of frus-tration when the men's hockey team—thought by some to have a shot at a na-tional title—proved unable to get past itsquarterfinal opponent in the Easternelimination tournament, losing 5-8 toProvidence at Lynah Rink to close out itsyear.

The team was one of four on the Hill tocapture Ivy championships, the othersbeing women's hockey, men's track, andwomen's gymnastics.

Cornell played three hockey seasons, adisastrous opening in which its Easternrecord fell to 1-4-1, then a blazing stringof fourteen wins in a row, and finally asag at the end that included shaky winsover Harvard and Northeastern, an over-time loss to Princeton, a win over Penn,and then the first home loss of the year,to Providence. Actually, three teams hadproved difficult for Cornell all yearlong—Brown, Princeton, and Providence.Brown beat the Red early, and only gaveup a hard-fought loss near the end of theseason. Princeton lost doggedly, 6-7, inmid-season and then overcame a 4-2 def-icit in the last minute and a half to beatCornell in the next-to-last game of theRed season/Providence skated Cornell toa 5-5 tie during January, a game thatwent through an overtime period.

In mid-season Cornell could do nowrong, beating Vermont 6-4, Dartmouth12-2, RPI 3-0, Brown 6-3, and then Har-vard 6-3 and 4-3 in overtime, and North-eastern 10-8, before the Princeton over-time loss 4-5 and the Penn victory 8-5.That gave Cornell a 20-5-1 season recordoverall, 16-5-1 in the ECAC, and 9-3 forthe Ivy crown.

Along the way team members set manyrecords, among them Lance Nethery '79,the All-Ivy wing who broke the careerscoring record of Doug Ferguson '67, 187points, with a total of 206 points by theend of the year. Ferguson set his in threeseasons, before freshmen were eligiblefor varsity play. Nether/s 60 assists and83 points this year were also season rec-ords, and his 133 assists in three years isa career record at Cornell as well. He'llhave another year to play if he doesn'tturn pro.

Big Peter Shier '78 set a record forcareer scoring by a defenseman, 101points, in three years, topping the 98 byDan Lodboa '70.

Cornell ranked as high as fourth innational polls during the season, and wasin second in the East for the last severalweeks of the season. It was the first yearsince 1967 Cornell had not been in theECAC semi-finals.

The men's track and field team wasunbeaten in dual meets and won a handy

victory in the Heptagonal games at Bar-ton Hall, the second indoor title in a rowfor Jack Warner's team. In late-seasonmeets, Cornell beat Yale 103-26, andSyracuse and Colgate in a three-waymeet, 101-351/2-211/2.

Heps competition was a sentimentalevent for Cornellians because aftertwenty-six years at Barton Hall the con-test will begin moving around the ten-school circuit starting next year. It will beheld at Dartmouth in 1979, then back atBarton in 1980, then elsewhere after that.In 1977, Cornell edged out Penn for first44-37. With four events added this yearthe scoring was higher, and Cornell beatout Army for first, 66-46. Penn wasfourth.

The Red scored in 12 of 18 events thisyear, taking a total of 17 medals, includ-ing five first places—in the long jump,three-mile, distance medley relay, 60-yarddash, and 440. New events this year werethe three-mile, 440, and 880, and thedistance medley relay.

Cornell medalists: In the long jump, 1,Greg Witherspoon '79, and 2, KenBoddie '79; high jump, 5, Bob Jones '81;1,000, 2, Jim Draddy '81, and 3, DavePannell '79; mile run, 2, Dave Washburn'78; mile relay, 2; three-mile, 1, Pete Pfit-zinger '79, and 3, Mike Wyckoff'80; 600,3, Jeff Osborn '78, and 4, Tony Green'79; triple jump, 5, Witherspoon; dis-tance medley relay, 1, Pannell, JimKinnier '81, Dan Predmore '80, andWashburn; shot put, 2, Dave Doupe '78;60 dash, 1, Adley Raboy '80, and 3, NealHall '78; and 440, 1, Carl Francis '80.

The meet marked the return of DaveDoupe to competition for Cornell. Heholds the school record in the shot put,indoor and out, set in 1975 before hedropped out of school to try out for theOlympics, and in the process broke hisputting wrist lifting weights. This was thefirst year since the triple jump was insti-tuted as a Heps event in 1972 that Cor-nell had not won.

In the IC4As the weekend after theHeps, Cornell did not do so well, scoringjust four points, which was four morethan the year before, however. The milerelay of Green, Jacob Dennis '81, Hall,and Francis placed third with a schoolindoor record for the distance, 3:18.2, onsplits of 49.9, 48.6, 48.7, and 48.8. Pfit-zinger placed fifth in the three-mile in13:47.8, which is the best Cornell three-mile time indoors or out.

The women's hockey team won itsthird straight Ivy title and had amassed a16-2 record near season's end. The losseswere to McMasters 2-13 and New Hamp-shire 3-5, and the wins were over Ver-mont 2-1, Potsdam 5-0, Colby 5-3 and

3-2 in overtime, Cortland 17-2, Brown8-3, Princeton 8-3, Oswego 3-1, Prince-ton 6-3, and the Massena Chicks 7-5.Center Cyndy Schlaepfer '78 was namedMVP of the Ivy tourney, and wing CindyWarren '81 and Cheryl Hines '80 ondefense were named to the all-tourneyteam.

Cortland State edged the women gym-nasts out for first place in the State tour-nament by 1.45 points, after the Red hadbeaten Cortland twice in dual meets andonce in an invitational. The second placecame the weekend after Cornell took itsfirst Ivy gymnastics title and finished a6-1 dual meet season.

Renee Hack '80 won the State all-around standing and the balance beamevent and Holly Gross '81 won the floorexercise. Gross was also the Ivy champ inthat event Kathleen Cote '80 won Ivy all-around, vaulting, and horizontal bars.Cote, Hack, Gross, and Marcia Geller'80 were named All-Ivy. Regional andnational competition lay ahead.

Final dual meets were won over EastStroudsburg 119.65-119.50, Temple119,65-119.50, Cortland 132-130.55 and129.16-128.82, and Vermont 129.16-119.87.

The wrestling team turned last seasonaround, going from an overall record of3-9 to 9-3, and moving from fourth tosecond in the Ivy League with a 4-1record, and from no points in the East-erns in 1976-77 to eleventh place thiswinter.
