The  following 
news  articles  are 
accounts  of  major 
events  that 
happened  this  year 
here  on  campus 
and  throughout  the 
world.  Some  of 
these  events 
affected  you 
directly,  others 
indirectly.  The 
stories  are 
presented  in  a 
subjective  format, 
with  the  authors 
expressing  their 
point  of  view.  The 
opinions  may  be 
controversial  . . . 
but,  then,  what 
isn't? 


S.G.A.  Elections 

In  late  February  of  1978  all  students 
wishing  to  become  a  candidate  for 
S.G.A.  co-president  or  trustee  had  to 
submit  nomination  signatures  to  the 
Student  Senate.  An  unprecedented 
number  of  people  fulfilled  the  re- 
quired mandate  of  gathering  250 
names  in  order  to  have  their  names  put 
on  the  ballot. 

Problems  arose  when  a  new  govern- 


mental affairs  committee  was  faced 
with  operating  a  presidential  election 
with  obsolete  guidelines  and  vague  in- 
terpretations of  these  guidelines  from 
various  friends  involved  in  the  process 
(e.g.  the  Student  Attorney  General). 
There  were  no  provisions  within  the 
Student  Government  Constitution  for 
run-off  elections,  yet  more  than  ten 
candidates  were  vigorously  pursuing 
the  positions.  This  meant  that  if  no  can- 
didacy was  able  to  receive  a  majority 


(33.3%)  of  all  the  votes  cast,  some  other 
method  would  have  to  be  initiated  to 
elect  the  President.  This  vehicle  hap- 
pened to  be  an  electoral  college,  a  sys- 
tem scraped  some  years  ago  due  to  its 
lack  of  true  democratic  characteristics. 
Another  quirk  in  the  78  elections 
was  the  "none  of  the  above"  option 
that  was  allowed  on  the  ballot  in  the 
popular  election  but  not  in  the  elector- 
al convention.

In  conjuction  with 

the  push  for  "The 

Year  of  the  Union", 

the  Distinguished 

Visitors  Program 

brought  Tom 

Hayden  (left)  and 

Dick  Gregory  (right) 

to  speak  at  the 

Student 

Unionization 

Conference.  Both 

these  speakers 

urged  students  to 

take  a  more  active 

role  in  their 

educational 

institution. 

Unionization 

It  was  supposed  to  be  the  year  when 
students  at  UMass  would  finally  chal- 
lenge the  administration  and  win  the 
right  to  collectively  bargain  the  terms 
of  our  education  and  living  conditions. 

The  Undergraduate  Student  Senate 
declared  it  "The  Year  of  the  Union", 
attempting  in  September  to  spark  a 
campus-wide  movement  by  sponsoring 
a  well-attended  two-day  conference  to 
introduce  students  to  the  concept  of  a 
union  and  sign  up  recruits  in  the  fight 
for  student  rights. 

Dick  Gregory,  one  of  the  keynote 
speakers,  expressed  the  sentiment  of 
the  audience  when  he  told  a  cheering 
crowd  "you  got  to  let  those  educators 
know  they  exist  to  satisfy  your  needs, 
not  the  other  way  around." 

Then,  in  the  following  months,  the 
spark  seemed  to  die  as  the  publicity 
and  coverage  waned,  the  Student  Sen- 
ate fought  internal  battles,  the  student 
advocacy  agencies  failed  to  coordinate 
their  efforts,  and  the  recruits  failed  to 
show  up  in  large  numbers  to  launch  a 


full  scale  attack.  Many  observors  would 
agree  with  one  student  senator  who 
lamented,  "the  Union  has  fizzled." 

What  these  observers  failed  to  see, 
however,  was  that  the  push  for  a  stu- 
dent union  did  not  begin  nor  end  in 
the  fall  of  1977.  Expecting  an  explosion 
that  would  immediately  find  students 
in  control  of  their  university,  they 
failed  to  detect  the  small  steady  flame 
of  activity  that  continued  to  burn.  A 
group  of  one  hundred  or  so  students 
continued  to  research,  petition,  can- 
vass, and  participate  in  endless  meet- 
ings, knowing  —  or  at  least  hoping  — 
that  progress  was  being  made. 

This  progress  included  the  publish- 
ing of  the  Course  and  Teacher  Evalua- 
tion Guide,  and  winning  concessions 
from  academic  departments  such  as  the 
Economics  Department,  which  was 
pressured  into  funding  a  student-run 
tutoring  program. 

But  the  biggest  victory  was  the  right 
to  a  negotiated  lease  for  students  living 
in  University  housing.  In  this  case, 
those  who  had  been  formulating  and 
promoting  a  lease  for   months  finally 


got  the  popular  support  necessary  to 
effectively  challenge  authority. 

The  support  came  when  Southwest 
Residential  Master-Director  Jim  Mat- 
lack  made  the  mistake  of  mastermind- 
ing a  plan  to  limit  residence  in  Pierpont 
dormitory  to  freshpeople  and  sopho- 
mores, presumably  to  curb  drug  traf- 
ficking there. 

This,  coupled  with  the  release  of  an 
audit  proving  that  the  dorms  didn't 
meet  health  and  safety  code  standards, 
resulted  in  the  over-night  occupation 
of  Chancellor  Bromery's  office  in  Whit- 
more  by  150  students,  in  the  course  of 
its  forced  scuttling  of  the  Matlack  plan, 
the  administration  also  agreed  to  reim- 
burse students  living  in  substandard 
housing  and  to  negotiate  a  lease. 

Negotiating  is,  of  course,  what  un- 
ions do,  so,  looking  back,  the  more  as- 
tute observers  will  realize  that  while 
"The  Year  of  the  Union"  may  not  have 
been  a  big  bang,  it  certainly  wasn't  a 
dud.  Just  ask  the  Chancellor.

The  Gordon/Tyson  ticket  fell  short 
of  the  necessary  majority,  hence  an 
electoral  convention  became  a  reality. 
Another  controversy  arose  when  the 
second  place  vote  receiver,  "none  of 
the  above",  was  not  allowed  a  place  in 
the  electoral  convention.  Inconsisten- 
cies were  prevalent,  and  an  ad  hoc 
committee  was  formed  to  iron  out  as 
many  difficulties  as  possible. 

The  electoral  convention  consisted 
of  factions  from  each  of  the  six  area 


governments  with  a  total  of  fifty  votes, 
and  the  Student  Senate  with  a  total  of 
fifty  votes.  In  order  to  win  the  election 
in  the  convention,  a  candidate  re- 
quired fifty-one  votes  (a  majority).  The 
convention  eventually  went  to  seven 
ballots  over  a  period  of  six  weeks,  often 
without  a  quorum.  Eventually  the  de- 
clared winners  were  Bob  Dion  and  Don 
Bishop  on  the  seventh  ballot.  Bob  Dion 
was  an  election  offical  who  participated 
in  developing  and  officiating  election 


rules,  then  resigned  to  run  for  presi- 
dent/trustee with  Don  Bishop,  who 
had  come  in  fourth  in  the  popular  elec- 
tion. 

The  election  is  still  in  contention, 
with  the  Student  Senate  abolishing  the 
electoral  college  and  voting  for  the  res- 
ignation of  Dion  and  Bishop  in  the  fall 
of  1978.  But  until  that  time,  Dion  and 
Bishop  will  act  as  S.G.A.  co-presidents.

C.A.T.E. 


,  '  "TheC.A.  f. E.  staff"^ 


Last  fall  the  Academic  Affairs  Com- 
mittee of  the  Student  Senate  published 
"On  the  Other  Hand",  A  Course  and 
Teacher  Evaluation  Guide.  The  guide 
was  put  together  from  information 
provided  by  willing  teachers,  data  from 
a  teacher  assessment  questionnaire 
published  in  the  Collegian,  information 
derived  from  computer  forms  passed 
out  at  the  end  of  each  semester  and,  in 
several  cases,  the  opinions  of  one  stu- 
dent. 

Many  students  felt  that  the  guide  was 
well  prepared  and  found  it  very  useful. 
Others  felt  that  the  idea  was  basically  a 
good  one,  but  the  guide  itself  could 
stand  improvement. 

Teachers  were  quite  varied  in  their 
opinions  of  the  publication.  Some  felt  it 
was  well  done  and  welcomed  student 
evaluations,  while  others  felt  it  was 
"poorly  researched  and  created  an 
"adversary  relationship"  between 
teachers  and  students.  The  teachers 
who  were  displeased  with  the  guide 
pointed  out  that  some  evaluations  were 


made  by  one  student,  and  resented  the 
publication  of  their  salary  and  tenure 
status. 

Several  students  felt  that  they  have 
been  evaluated  by  one  teacher  since 
time  eternal,  and  that  it  was  about  time 
students  got  their  chance.  One  student 
said,  "The  guide  tells  it  like  it  is.  Teach- 
ers should  be  able  to  take  some  criti- 
cism. They  certainly  dish  out  their 
share." 

Former  Provost  Paul  Puryear  criti- 
cized the  booklet  in  the  Springfield 
Union.  Puryear  said  he  felt  the  booklet 
was  "incomplete"  and  contained 
"some  unevenness  in  the  format." 

Several  teachers  felt  that  the  guide 
was  used  by  students  as  a  means  to  "get 
back  at"  teachers  for  past  differences. 
These  teachers  felt  that  they  could  rec- 
ognize the  personal  style  of  the  authors 
of  some  of  the  evaluations,  and  that 
these  authors  used  the  guide  as  a 
means  of  revenge. 

Also,  many  complaints  were  made 
about  the  graphics  used  in  the  guide. 
Some  went  so  far  as  to  say  that  the 
drawings  were  crude,  racist,   deroga- 


tory, and  disgusting.  Student  Govern- 
ment Association  co-President  jon  Hite 
apologized  publicly  in  the  Collegian 
to  anyone  who  was  offended  by  the 
graphics.  Joseph  Connolly,  the  student 
in  charge  of  the  guide,  apologized  also 
and  explained  that  the  drawings  were 
intended  to  satirize  stereotypes,  and 
not  intended  as  stereotypes  them- 
selves. 

So  it  has  been  established  by  stu- 
dents, faculty,  and  administrators  alike 
that  the  first  issue  of  "On  the  Other 
Hand"  has  many  shortcomings,  the 
most  obvious  of  which  is  its  incom- 
pleteness. Can  the  student  publishers 
be  blamed  for  this? 

The  Student  Senate  sued  the  school 
for  access  to  teacher  evaluations  under 
the  Massachusetts  freedom  of  informa- 
tion law.  The  information  was  not  re- 
leased. Without  the  raw  data  it  seemed 
impossible  for  anyone  to  put  together  a 
truly  complete  guide,  but  the  students 
felt  the  idea  was  sound  so  they  did  the 
best  they  could  with  the  information 
they  had.  Certainly  they  should  not  be 
criticized  for  incompleteness  by  the 
very  administrators  who  withheld  the 
information  in  the  first  place. 

As  we  have  seen,  the  opinions  on  the 
guide  are  as  varied  as  the  students,  fac- 
ulty, and  administration  themselves. 
One  idea  that  seemed  to  hold  up  is  that 
a  course  and  teacher  evaluation  guide, 
written  and  published  by  the  students 
and  for  the  students  is  a  good  idea.  It 
reflects  a  progressive  student  attitude 
toward  student-teacher  relationships. 
The  fact  that  many  people  were  dis- 
pleased with  the  various  aspects  of  the 
first  issue  of  "On  the  Other  Hand"  be- 
comes almost  irrelevant  when  viewed 
with  respect  to  the  potential  of  the 
guide.

The  summer  news  of 
1977  flashed  back  to  1970 
as  Kent  State  University 
once  again  became  a  head- 
line grabber.  Tent  City  at 
Kent  State  captured  the 
imagination  and  energy  of 
thousands,  and  UMass  was 
no  exception.  The  Revolu- 
tionary Student  Brigade  be- 
gan the  fall  semester  with  a 
campaign  to  popularize  the 
struggle  there.  More  than 
125  UMass  students  took 
part  in  three  demonstra- 
tions at  that  university,  sac- 
rificing weekends  and  par- 
ties to  spend  twenty-four 
grueling  hours  of  traveling 
to  take  a  stand  at  Kent 
State. 

Many  of  the  students 
were  only  in  elementary 
school  when  the  four  stu- 
dents were  killed  by  National  Guards- 
men at  an  anti-war  rally  at  Kent  in  1970. 
Yet  over  1700  students  at  UMass  wore 
armbands  as  part  of  the  National  Arm- 
band Day  called  by  the  Revolutionary 
Brigade  in  support  of  the  struggle  at 
Kent  State  to  put  an  end  to  injustice.

They  joined  the  thousands  across  the 
country  who  opposed  the  construction 
of  a  gymnasium  on  the  site  were  the 
students  had  been  killed  seven  years 
before. 

UMass  students  joined  the  thousands 
who  proclaimed  to  the  "powers  to  be" 


that  Kent  State  has  not 
been  forgotten  ...  or  for- 
given. The  spirit  of  Kent 
State  lives  on.  It  is  the 
spirit  of  rebellion,  the 
spirit  of  strength  and  uni- 
ty and  the  spirit  of  deter- 
mination to  stand  op- 
posed to  the  injustice  of 
war. 

Over  2,000  students 
signed  petitions  which 
demonstrated  enough 
support  for  the  Student 
Senate  to  allocate  almost 
$4,000  for  traveling  ex- 
penses to  the  site. 

In     1970     National 
"     Guardsmen     used    brute 
force    with    the    consent 
and    encouragement    of 
then  Governor  Rhodes  of 
-^     Ohio  to  suppress  the  peo- 
ple's demands  for  an  end 
to  the  war  in  Indochina.  In  1977,  police 
used  the  same  methods  again  to  try  to 
squash  the  spirit  of  struggle,  that  spirit 
of  unity  at  Kent  State  and  campuses 
across  the  country,  which  will  one  day 
provide   the   strength   to   insure   that 
Kent  State  will  never  happen  again.

Student  Senate  Speaker  Brian  DeLima  was  made  a  scapegoat 
when  he  was  found  guilty  by  the  Student  Judiciary  on  two  charges 
from  his  abuse  of  the  senate  phones  to  make  seventy-three  long- 
distance phone  calls  worth  $313  to  his  home  state  Hawaii. 

The  charges  were:  misrepresenting  the  senate  "without  prior 
consent  of  that  group,"  and  fradulently  obtaining  telephone  ser- 
vice through  "unauthorized  charging  to  the  account  of  another." 

On  the  witness  stand  DeLima  was  asked  if  he  had  "prior  con- 
sent" for  use  of  the  phones  for  personal  calls. 

"At  no  time  was  the  use  of  phones  frowned  upon,"  DeLima 
stated.  "In  fact  it  was  sanctioned."  Delima  arranged  to  pay  for  the 
calls  from  his  intersession  salary  as  Senate  Speaker.

Protests  were  prevalent  on  campus  this 
past  spring.  On  the  left  students  are 
shown  prior  to  their  April  8th  occupation 
of  Chancellor  Bromery's  office  in  Whit- 
more.  In  ail  seventy-five  students  were  in- 
volved with  the  seventeen  hour  takeover 
in  protest  of  University  housing  policies. 

One  of  the  other  major  groups  of  pro- 
testers was  the  faculty,  shown  here  before 
their  May  3rd  picket  of  Whitmore.  The 
faculty  was  protesting  that  they  had  not 
yet  received  the  two  and  a  half  percent 
pay  increase  granted  by  the  state  to  all 
state  employees.  The  faculty  protests  did 
not  end  with  the  march  on  campus,  how- 
ever, but  continued  into  the  month  of 
June,  when  they  did  not  release  student's 
grades  till  the  administration  met  their 
demands.

Lance  Didn't  Balance 

when  President  Jimmy  Carter  chose 
his  close  friend  Bert  Lance  to  act  as  the 
Director  of  the  Office  of  Management 
and  Budget  (OMB)  in  Washington  last 
January,  most  Americans  believed  that 
they  had  just  another  "good  ole  boy" 
to  add  to  their  list  of  officials  with 
southern  accents  in  the  Capital.  Well,  as 
it  turned  out,  this  "ole  boy"  wasn't  so 
good  and  innocent  after  all.  Reports  by 


the  news  media  and  official  investiga- 
tions suggested  possible  wrong-doings 

in  Lance's  freewheeling  financial  affairs. 
The  controversy  was  sparked  by  the 
May  23rd  issue  of  Time  Magazine  con- 
taining the  first  public  accounting  of 
Lance's  debts.  More  reports  followed 
in  the  Washington  Post,  The  New  York 
Times,  and  Newsweek  Magazine.  The 
media  claimed  that  Lance  was  abusing 
his  position  as  part  owner  of  the  Na- 
tional Bank  of  Georgia  (NBC).  They  ac- 


cused him  of  unethical  conduct  in  ob- 
taining personal  loans  in  his  financial 
interests.  These  discoveries  lead  to  offi- 
cial inquiries  by  the  Senate  Govern- 
mental Affairs  Committee  headed  by 
Senator  Abraham  Ribicoff  on  July  15. 
The  committee  concluded  that  it  was 
satisfied  with  Lance's  testimony,  saying 
that  "he  had  done  nothing  improper". 
A  report  by  the  Comptroller  of  the 
Currency  and  Lance's  close  friend, 
John  G.  Hieman,  also  endorsed  Lance,

An  Act  Of  Perfidy 

On  the  basis  of  a  near  unanimous 
recommendation  of  a  faculty  search 
committee,  I  was  offered  the  position 
of  Vice  Chancellor  for  Academic  Affairs 
and  Provost  in  late  August  of  1976.  Al- 
though a  group  of  dissident  faculty 
sought  to  overturn  this  recommenda- 
tion the  University  Board  of  Trustees 
approved  my  appointment,  and  I  as- 
sumed my  duties  on  October  15,  1976. 
Fourteen  months  later,  on  January  10, 
1978, the  Chancellor,  for  political  rea- 
sons, asked  for  my  resignation.  The  fol- 
lowing day,  when,  as  a  matter  of  princi- 
ple, I  refused  to  step  aside  voluntarily,  I 
was  summarily  dismissed.  This  ended 
the  shortest  tenure  of  any  academic  of- 
ficer on  this  or  any  other  campus.  For 


whatever  lessons  it  holds  for  the  future, 
it  may  be  useful  to  examine,  in  sum- 
mary form,  the  web  of  factors  that  led 
to  my  demise. 

I  came  to  the  Provost's  Office  at  a 
time  when  the  University  was  adrift. 
Because  the  political  elements  in  the 
faculty  were  in  constant  internecene 
warfare  with  the  President's  Office  over 
jurisdictional  matters,  little  sustained 
attention  had  been  given  to  the  task  of 
modernizing  the  University  at  a  time 
when  societal  changes  were  beginning 
to  have  a  profound  influence  on  the 
future  of  higher  education  throughout 
the  nation.  Few  faculty  understood  that 
the  phenomenal  growth  in  enrollment 
and  University  budgets  during  the 
1960s  and  early  1970s  had  come  to  an 
end,  and  would  not  return  again  during 
the  remainder  of  this  century.  More- 
over, despite  studies  by  the  Carnegie 
Commission  and  others,  few  faculty 
were  prepared  to  face  the  reality  that 
permanent  secular  shifts  in  the  eco- 
nomic system,  from  a  predominately 
goods  producing  to  a  service  economy, 
presented  a  challenge  to  the  University 
to  meet  the  emerging  societal  demand 
for  more  specialized  career  education, 
particularly  at  the  undergraduate  and 
the  Masters  levels.  While  vociferously 
denying  that  these  charges  were  inevi- 
table, some  faculty  failed  to  recognize 
the  need  to  revitalize  a  moribund  liber- 
al arts  which,  through  lack  of  clarity  and 
definition,  had  not  only  given  up  its 
traditional  claims  at  the  center  of  the 
educational  process,  but  was  increas- 
ingly at  odds  with  changing  academic 
values.  The  faculty  also  remained  blind 


to  the  imaginative  ways  in  which  cur- 
ricular  and  degree  requirements  at  all 
levels  could  be  tailored  to  appeal  to  the 
students  broad  intellectual  interests  as 
well  as  to  their  quest  for  specialized 
career  education.  Knowledge  for  its 
own  sake  may  be  an  admirable  goal,  but 
it  is  one  which  few  individuals  practice 
exclusively,  including  those  faculty 
who  urged  such  views  on  their  stu- 
dents. 

I  accepted  the  Provost's  position 
with  the  clear  understanding  that  my 
primary  tasks  would  be  to  improve  aca- 
demic organization  and  management 
(in  a  University  notorious  for  poor 
management),  and  to  provide  the  ad- 
ministrative leadership  necessary  to 
modernize  the  University  and  equip  it 
to  meet  the  new  societal  conditions 
which  would  affect  its  operation  for  the 
remainder  of  this  century.  The  first  step 
was  to  begin  a  process  of  long-range 
planning  which  would  guide  the  alloca- 
tion of  fiscal  resources  in  the  future, 
determine  the  relative  importance  of 
academic  programs  and,  in  general, 
provide  for  the  maintenance  and  en- 
hancement of  scholarly  excellence  de- 
spite diminished  budgets.  My  initial 
analysis  of  the  academic  budget  led  me 
to  the  inescapable  conclusion  that  the 
budget  was  not  rationally  distributed 
among  academic  programs,  that  there 
were  no  clear  empirical  guidelines  for 
the  allocation  of  academic  resources, 
and  that  there  was  considerable  mis- 
mangement  of  budgets  at  the  School 
and  Department  levels.  All  this  was 
compounded  by  data  management  and 
accounting   systems   appallingly    inad-

even  though  he  had  followed  "unsafe 
and  unsound  financial  practices". 

This  judgment  referred  to  Lance's  ac- 
tivities as  President  of  the  Calhoun  First 
National  Bank  (CFNB)  from  1972  to 
1975  and  his  other  activities  up  until 
the  time  of  his  nomination  for  the 
OMB. 

Meanwhile,  President  Carter  was  so 
convinced  that  the  American  Public 
would  accept  Lance's  credibility,  that 
he  interrupted  a  vacation  at  Camp  Da- 


vid to  fly  to  Washington  to  praise  Lance 
at  a  televised  news  conference:  "Bert, 
I'm  proud  of  you." 

Unfortunately,  Carter's  standard  of 
ethics  for  choosing  government  offi- 
cials was  tainted  because  new  issues 
surfaced;  issues  he  wouldn't  want  to 
claim. 

For  example,  during  the  time  that 
Lance  was  President  of  the  Calhoun 
First  National  Bank,  officers  and  their 
families    were    allowed    to    overdraw 


checking  accounts  in  substantial 
amounts  for  considerable  periods  of 
time.  Lance  defended  himself  with  the 
claim  that  overdrafts  were  common 
among  country  banks.  The  Senate 
Committee  and  the  press  did  not  think 
so  and  kept  digging,  even  though 
White  House  Press  Secretary  Jody 
Powell  kept  issuing  statements  in  de- 
fense of  Lance. 

The  evidence  against  Lance  mount-

equate  for  a  large  University. 

The  maldistribution  of  the  budget, 
and  the  lack  of  allocative  standards, 
meant  that  some  departments  had 
more  funds  and  faculty  than  they  could 
justify  while  others  had  inadequate  re- 
sources and  faculty  to  meet  the  student 
demand  for  their  courses.  Student  in- 
terests had  been  shamelessly  ignored. 

While  faulty  allocative  decisions  in- 
ured largely  to  the  disadvantage  of  the 
professional  schools.  Arts  and  Sciences 
departments  were  also  affected. 
It  was  my  attempt  to  bring  more  preci- 
sion to  the  allocative  process  that 
brought  me  afoul  of  a  small,  but  politi- 
cally active,  group  of  faculty  in  Arts  and 
Sciences  who  opposed  budget  reallo- 
cation and  long-range  planning  even  if 
prospective  students  in  other  depart- 
ments were  denied  access  to  programs 
for  which  they  were  qualified.  This 
group  of  approximately  250  faculty,  out 
of  a  total  faculty  of  1300,  in  a  mob-like 
meeting  in  April  of  1977,  voted  no  con- 
fidence in  my  administration  and  sub- 
sequently asked  that  I  be  dismissed. 
While  few  of  the  faculty  had  read  the 
reallocative  decisions  embodied  in  my 
long-range  plans,  they  apparently  ob- 
jected on  the  grounds  that  the  pro- 
posed reallocation  of  approximately 
forty  positions  (out  of  1300)  would 
somehow  "destroy"  the  Arts  and  Sci- 
ences at  the  University.  There  were 
also  some  who  objected  to  the  plan 
because  the  faculty  had  not  been  for- 
mally consulted  before  the  plan  was 
implemented.  Despite  the  fact  that 
then  President  Robert  Wood  attended 
the  meeting  to  explain  that  he  had  or- 


dered the  preparation  and  immediate 
implementation  of  the  Plan,  some  fac- 
ulty felt  that  I  should  have  ignored  his 
directive.  They  were  also  quite  willing 
to  overlook  the  fact  that  each  depart- 
ment had  submitted  to  me  a  proposed 
long-range  plan  for  their  units  which  I 
used  in  developing  the  campus  long- 
range  plan. 

The  call  for  my  dismissal  by  a  minor- 
ity of  the  Arts  and  Sciences  faculty  was 
quickly  taken  up  by  the  Secretary  of 
the  Faculty  Senate  and  his  cohorts.  A 
meeting  of  the  full  faculty  was  called  by 
the  Rules  Committee  of  the  Senate  to 
consider  another  resolution  of  censure 
which  took  exception  to  my  long- 
range  plan  and  falsely  accused  me  of 
violating  governace  procedures.  This 
resolution  was  passed  by  essentially  the 
same  minority  that  voted  in  the  earlier 
Arts  and  Sciences  meeting.  What  was  of 
considerable  significance,  however, 
was  that  this  group  of  faculty  had  now 
come  to  accept  the  notion  that  my 
reallocation  of  resources  to  meet 
changing  student  needs  was  necessary, 
and  they  passed  a  companion  resolu- 
tion to  that  effect.  The  only  difference 
was  that  they  thought  the  Faculty  Sen- 
ate should  devise  the  long-range  plan 
rather  than  the  Provost.  They  com- 
pletely ignored  the  fact  that,  by  prior 
Trustee  decision,  long-range  planning 
was  the  primary  responsibility  of  the 
Administration. 

Despite  all  these  efforts  by  a  minority 
of  the  faculty  to  remove  me,  the  Board 
of  Trustees  refused,  at  its  June  1977 
meeting,  to  accede  to  their  wishes. 
However,  it  was  decided  to  hold  the 


planning  process  in  abeyance  until 
planning  assumptions  for  all  three  cam- 
puses had  been  developed  by  the 
President's  Office,  and  approved  by 
the  Board.  These  assumptions  would 
form  the  basis  for  further  review  of 
campus  plans  with  full  participation  by 
students,  faculty,  and  administration. 
Several  Board  members  chastised  the 
faculty  for  its  long  standing  opposition 
to  the  planning  process,  and  the  Board 
generally  made  it  clear  that  the  process 
would  go  foward.  One  Board  member 
also  indicated  that  he  had  received  re- 
ports from  other  faculty  that  the  attacks 
on  me  were  racially  motivated.  This  is 
an  issue  I  will  return  to  later. 

Despite  the  fact  that  I  had  received 
virtually  no  support  from  the  campus 
Chancellor  during  my  spring  travail,  I 
felt  the  Board  of  Trustees  had  given  its 
sanction  to  the  long-range  planning 
process,  and  that  this  was  a  basis  for 
continuing  my  efforts  to  modernize 
the  academic  sector  of  the  University. 
Subsequent  events  were  to  prove  me 
wrong.  A  few  weeks  after  the  June 
Board  meeting.  President  Robert 
Wood  resigned,  thus  altering  the  politi- 
cal conditions  under  which  I  operated. 
The  primary  obstacle  to  the  continu- 
ation of  my  efforts  was  the  Chancellor's 
gradually  unfolding  decision  to  be  a 
candidate  to  succeed  Robert  Wood  as 
President.  Over  several  months,  it  be- 
came clear  that  I  would  not  have  the 
Chancellor's  support  if  such  support 
interfered  at  all  with  his  presidential 
ambitions.  Consequently,  my  position 
in  the  administration  continued  to  de- 
teriorate throughout  the  fall.  The  aca- 


25 


OMB  Director,  a  criminal  case  against 
Lance  was  dropped  by  the  Attorney 
General's  Office  in  Atlanta.  Lance  had 
failed  to  file  reports  with  his  outside 
business  interests  and  personal  bor- 
rowing, as  required  by  statute  or  regu- 
lation. A  total  of  fifty  bank  loans  were 
not  reported. 

The  constant  harassment  by  the  me- 
dia and  the  never-ending  questions 
hurled  at  Lance  by  government  agen- 


cies were  enough  to  permanantly  harm 
his  credibility  as  OMB  Director.  The 
American  people  were  becoming 
skeptical:  perhaps  the  President  was 
betraying  them  by  trying  to  protect  a 
man  who  was  not  fit  to  stand  up  to  the 
ethical  standards  that  he  had  set  up 
during  his  campaign  speeches. 

Carter  announced  Lance's  resigna- 
tion on  September  21st,  after  three 
days  of  defense  testimony  by  Lance  be- 


fore the  Government  Affairs  Commit- 
tee. Carter  accepted  the  resignation 
with  the  "greatest  sense  of  regret  and 
sorrow".  He  replaced  Lance  with  James 
T.  Mclntyre,  also  from  Georgia.  Per- 
haps the  President  had  learned  to  dis- 
tinquish  between  comradery  and 
credibility.

demic  Deans,  sensing  my  lack  of  sup- 
port from  the  Chancellor,  as  well  as  my 
dissatifaction  with  their  overall  perfor- 
mance, began  to  insist  that  the  exercise 
of  the  Provost's  perogatives  were  de- 
pendent on  their  approval.  At  no  time 
did  the  Chancellor  make  it  clear  to  the 
Deans  that  I  was  their  superior,  not  vice 
versa.  Instead,  he  urged  that  1  reach 
some  kind  of  accommodation  with 
them  despite  evidences  of  gross  in- 
competence. I  was,  for  instance,  to  ig- 
nore budget  overruns  and  the  misuse 
of  personnel  funds,  and  permit  the 
Deans  responsibilities  which  my  prede- 
cessors had  always  exercised  indepe- 
dently.  After  all,  the  Chancellor  could 
hardly  appeal  to  the  Deans  to  support 
his  presidential  candidacy  and,  at  the 
same  time,  permit  me  to  impose  ac- 
ceptable standards  of  performance. 

Matters  came  to  a  head  in  late  No- 
vember when  I  announced,  after  a 
year  of  study  and  consulation  with  ap- 
propriate graduate  faculty  and  the 
Deans,  for  the  reorganization  of  the 
Graduate  School,  which  was  strikingly 
similar  to  one  promulgated  and  ap- 
proved several  years  earlier  by  my  pre- 
decessor. While  I  had  been  directed  to 
put  the  plan  into  effect  by  the  Chancel- 
lor several  months  earlier,  he  agreed  to 
a  Faculty  Senate  resolution  to  delay  im- 
plementation even  though  the  Senate, 
in  a  long  debate,  was  unable  to  cite  any 
substantive  objection  to  my  proposal. 
Presumably,  it  was  unworthy  because  I 
was  its  author. 

Following  the  November  meeting  of 
the  Senate,  it  was  clear  that  my  useful- 
ness as  Provost  was  at  an  end.  In  the 


succeeding  weeks,  I  began  to  reorder 
my  life  and  prepare  for  the  inevitable 
resignation.  On  Christmas  Day,  the 
Chancellor  came  to  my  home  bearing 
gifts  and  promising,  in  a  disgraceful  act 
duplicity,  that  I  had  his  strong  support 
and  this  support  would  be  demonstrat- 
ed in  tangible  ways  after  the  holidays.  A 
few  weeks  later  I  was  told  by  a  faculty 
friend  that  at  almost  the  very  moment 
he  was  pledging  his  support,  he  was 
conspiring  with  the  Deans  to  oust  me. 

Early  in  January,  the  Deans  requested 
that  I  resign  immediately  because  I 
would  not  permit  them  to  dictate 
budget  decisions  or  approve  staff  ap- 
pointments in  my  office.  1,  in  turn, 
asked  several  Deans  to  resign  on  the 
grounds  of  poor  performance.  As  my 
subordinates,  the  Deans  had  no  legal 
authority  to  request  my  resignation.  As 
Provost  and  acting  Chancellor  (Dr.  Bro- 
mery  was  out  of  town),  even  they  clear- 
ly understood  that  I  had  the  authority 
to  request  theirs. 

Upon  his  return  to  campus,  and 
without  examining  my  lengthy  written 
case  for  the  removal  of  the  Deans,  he 
dismissed  me  for  my  "percepitous"  ac- 
tion against  the  Deans.  However,  in  my 
final  conference  with  him,  he  com- 
mented: "Some  people  say  I've  sup- 
ported you  too  long  and  it's  affecting 
my  presidential  chances.  So  you  can 
understand  why  I  can't  work  with  you 
any  longer."  For  a  man  who  had  never 
supported  the  policies  he  brought  me 
to  the  University  to  implement,  this 
was  the  final  act  of  perfidy.  I  was  clearly 
the  victim  of  the  Chancellor's  misguid- 
ed ambition;  an  ambition  which,  as  later 


events  revealed,  he  was  never  destined 
to  fulfill. 

It  is  significant  that  throughout  the 
turmoil  that  surrounded  my  incumben- 
cy, no  successful  attacks  were  made 
upon  the  soundness  of  my  policies. 
Even  the  Faculty  Senate  charges  of  pro-' 
cedural  transgressions  fell  on  barren 
ground.  It  is  clear  that  the  principle  ob- 
jection to  me  was  not  simply  my  race, 
but  my  unwillingness  to  embrace  the 
stereotypes  of  servility  and  deference 
which  are  still  ascribed  to  my  race  and 
which,  unfortunately,  were  the  hall- 
marks of  the  Chancellor's  dealings  with 
the  faculty  over  many  years.  Some  rac- 
ist faculty  were  quite  open  in  their 
views,  referring  to  me  as  the  "Choco- 
late Mafia"  and  "nigger".  Others  were 
less  overt,  expressing  their  more  sophi- 
sticated racism  by  seeking  to  deny  me 
prerogatives  freely  and  openly  exer- 
cised by  my  white  predecessors.  Either 
way,  it  is  clear  that  a  vocal  minority  was 
unwilling  to  accept  the  academic  lead- 
ership of  a  black  Provost  who  would 
not  blindly  follow  their  self-interested 
view  of  the  University.  The  shame  of  it 
all  is  that  they  persuaded  a  black  Chan- 
cellor to  become  a  willing  partner  in 
their  perfidious  designs.

Two  major  fires  occurred  on  campus  this 
past  year.  One  was  in  Mary  Lyon  dormitory 
in  Northeast,  and  the  other  in  Field  dormi- 
tory in  Orchard  Hill.  Firefighters  battled 
the  blazes  which  left  moderate  fire  and 
smoke  damage  in  the  rooms  and  through- 
out the  hallways.  Fortunately  no  one  was 
hurt,  and  these  fires  prompted  the  Univer- 
sity to  study  the  hazards  of  fires  on  campus. 


Improvements:   Alas^sEigooo 


Fires  in  dormitories  and  on 
campuses  in  general  were  an 
issue  in  1978,  spawned  by 
major  blazes  in  dormitories 
at  Providence  College,  Syra- 
cuse, and  Hampshire  Col- 
lege. 

The  Providence  fire  killed 
ten  women,  and  four  fire- 
fighters died  in  the  Syracuse 
blaze. 

Hampshire  College  suf- 
fered a  fire  that  destroyed 
approximately  one-fourth  of 
a  dormitory  there,  but  re- 
corded no  injuries.  Here  at 
the  University  there  were 
several  one-room  fires,  with 
no  injuries,  and  a  moderate 
property  loss. 

The  Division  of  Environmental 
Health  and  Safety  concluded  an  eigh- 
teen month  study  of  dormitory  fire 
safety,  and  projected  recommenda- 
tions that  the  University  should  adopt 
to  make  the  structures  more  fire-safe 
than  they  presently  are. 
•  This  study  included  an  overview  of 
many  New  England  college  dormitory 
complexes,  and  the  securing  of  services 
of  a  number  of  renowned  fire  protec- 
tion engineers  for  consulting  purposes. 

Of  the  recommendations,  which  in- 
cluded new  fire  alarm  system  installa- 
tions, smoke  control  and  stairway  pres- 
surization,  corridor  and  room  material 
combustibility  limits,  and  smoke  and 
sprinkler  system  additions,  one  item 
was  instituted  immediately. 

The  first  recommendation  to  install 
smoke  detectors  in  all  student  sleeping 
areas  was  acted  upon,  and  7,000  photo- 


electric smoke  detectors  were  pur- 
chased and  installed  in  the  rooms  dur- 
ing intersession.  The  devices  were 
plugged  into  the  electric  outlets  in 
each  room,  and  will  be  permanently 
wired  to  the  building  electric  system 
during  the  summer. 

The  smoke  detector  can  sense  a  fire 
in  it's  incipient  stages  and  warn  occu- 
pants of  the  room  minutes  before 
smoke  and  heat  conditions  can  make 
the  room  untenable  for  human  habita- 
tion. 

The  other  recommendations  sighted 
by  the  study  are  being  scrutinized  for 
cost  implications  and  will  be  budgeted 
on  a  long  range  basis.  Already  for  fiscal 
year  1979,  half  a  million  dollars  has 
been  set  aside  for  fire  safety  improve- 
ments in  the  dormitories. 

The  University  also  promoted  fire 
safety  by  the  distribution  of  literature 


to  all  students  in  the  form  of 
a  pamphlet,  and  also  in- 
stalled, on  the  door  of  each 
room,  instructions  for  safely 
evacuating  from  a  fire  situa- 
tion, or  to  handle  being 
trapped  in  a  fire. 

Students  were  often  re- 
minded of  fire  safety,  if  not 
by  articles  in  the  Collegian, 
on  the  various  posters  on 
campus,  then  by  participat- 
ing in  the  fire  drills  that  have 
become  common  occur- 
ences on  campus. 

Sometimes,  the  fire  alarm 
horns  would  sound  for  nei- 
ther a  drill  or  a  fire,  but  be- 
cause   some    prankster    or 
some     alcohol-influenced 
person  decided  to  turn  in  a 
"false    alarm."    More    often 
than   not,  these   irresponsible   people 
would  not  be  apprehended.  But  when 
they    were,    arraignment    in    District 
Court  followed,  with  severe  penalties. 
A  fine  of  seven  hundred  dollars  and 
probation  for  one  year  was  not  an  un- 
common sentence,  which  helped  tre- 
mendously in  reducing  false  alarms  by 
40%  this  year. 

The  University  is  hopeful  that  in  the 
overall  learning  process  each  student  is 
exposed  to  while  attending  UMass,  he 
or  she  has  also  digested  information  on 
fire  safety  and  preparedness  that  can 
benefit  them  in  years  to  come,  another 
one  of  the  extras  that  made  their  col- 
lege education  a  worthwhile  exper- 
ience.

One  of  the  many  controversial  issues 
which  arose  this  past  year  was  whether 
or  not  DNA  research  should  be  con- 
ducted here  on  the  UMass  campus. 
Zoology  professor  Bruce  Levin  explain- 
ed,"There  is  a  definate  need  for  more 
research  on  whether  or  not  it  is  possi- 
ble for  recombinant  DNA  to  become  a 
pathogen.  This  is  the  kind  of  risk  assess- 
ment experiment  that  should  be 
done."

The  Graduate  Research  Center  here 
at  the  University  was  reopened  by 
Dean  Seymour  Shapiro  of  Natural  Sci- 
ences and  Mathematics  after  extensive 
environmental  testing  revealed  no  evi- 
dence of  chemical  contamination  of 
the  center. 

Shapiro  had  ordered  all  three  seven- 
teen-story graduate  research  towers 
closed  following  initial  medical  tests 
that  showed  that  twenty-one  of  twen- 
ty-four researchers  tested  who  worked 
in  the  center  had  high  levels  of  the 
organic  solvent  toluene  in  their  blood. 
The  tests  were  initiated  after  some  of 
the  researchers  complained  of  fatigue, 
headaches,  and  abnormal  menstrual  cy- 
cles. 


Subsequent  tests  by  a  state  laboratory 
of  the  same  blood  and  urine  samples 
did  not  confirm  the  findings  of  the  first 
tests,  and  tests  analyzed  by  two  other 
laboratories  of  blood  and  urine  samples 
taken  three  days  after  the  center  was 
closed  showed  no  evidence  of  abnor- 
mal toluene  levels.  Nevertheless,  the 
center  remained  closed  while  the  Uni- 
versity Department  of  Environmental 
Health  and  Safety  and  the  State  Divi- 
sion of  Occupational  Hygiene  ran  ex- 
tensive tests  on  water,  air,  ventilation 
and  drainage  systems  in  the  center.

While  New  England's  worst  snow- 
storm hit  this  past  February,  students 
battled  still  another  problem.  "The 
Russian  Flu",  or  the  "the  bug",  was  the 
epidemic  which  afflicted  about  4,000 
students.  As  the  flu  made  it's  way 
through  campus,  the  infirmary  became 
crowded  with  students  who  sought  re- 
lief from  aching  muscles,  chills,  fever, 
and  vomiting. 

The  University  Health  Center  sug- 
gested this  diet:  take  two  asprin,  get 
plenty  of  rest,  and  drink  plenty  of  liq- 
uids (including  flat  soda  and  bouillon).

Blizzard  78 

The  "storm  of  the  century",  as  it  has 
been  affectionately  named,  is  over. 
However,  on  subways,  at  bus  stops, 
during  town  meetings,  anywhere  peo- 
ple gather,  they  will  undoubtedly  share 
stories  on  the  devastation  of  the  Great 
Blizzard  of  78. 

Weather  is  a  common  topic  of  con- 


versation here  in  New  England.  It's  di- 
versity, the  difficulty  in  accurately  pre- 
dicting it,  and  the  intensity  of  what  may 
finally  arrive  are  factors  that  plague  area 
residents.  This  past  February  a  storm 
with  hurricane  winds  dropped  over  a 
ton  of  snow  on  the  eastern  coastline 
which  was  still  recovering  from  a  lesser 
horror  in  January. 
The  storm  intensified  for  thirty-two 


hours  and  forty  minutes  and  when  it 
was  over,  fifty-four  persons  were  dead 
including  twenty-nine  in  Massachu- 
setts. More  than  10,000  persons  living 
on  the  coastline  were  evacuated  from 
their  homes.  Some  3,000  cars  and  500 
trucks  were  stranded  just  on  an  eight- 
mile  stretch  of  Route  128.  A  record 
twenty-seven  inches  of  snow  fell  and 
tide  levels  reached  more  than  sixteen

feet  above  normal.  More  than  5,000 
members  of  the  Massachusetts  National 
Guards  were  summoned  to  aid  in  the 
storm's  cleanup.  As  for  the  cost,  an  ex- 
act figure  will  never  be  known.  Esti- 
mates as  to  land,  residential,  and  com- 
mercial damages  reach  the  one  billion 
dollar  mark. 

UMass  and  the  western   Massachu- 
setts region  appeared  to  endure  the 


winter  storm  better  than  most  of  New 
England.  Classes  for  day  and  evening 
students  were  cancelled  on  Tuesday, 
February  6th  for  the  first  time  since 
spring  semester  of  1975.  The  Physical 
Plant  had  a  large  number  of  assorted 
plows,  tractors,  and  trucks  working  to 
remove  snow. 

The  Boston  Globe  was  not  delivered 
during  the  storm.  This  marked  the  first 


time  in  106  years  that  the  paper  was 
unable  to  distribute  it's  morning  edi- 
tions. 

Local  package  stores  and  bars  did  a 
fairly  good  business.  Sleigh  rides,  snow- 
ball fights,  and  a  wide  variety  of  snow 
sculptures  occupied  the  free  time  of 
students  who  had  the  day  off.

Women's  Week 

International  Women's  Week  (March 
6-11)  was  celebrated  at  UMass  this  year 
with  a  week  of  activities,  ranging  from 
concerts  and  theatrical  presentations 
to  lectures  and  workshops  on  a  variety 
of  topics  related  to  women's  lives. 

The  celebration  officially  opened 
Sunday  with  a  concert  featuring  singer/ 
cultural  worker  Holly  Near.  Before 
Near  came  onstage  Irene  Richard,  Stu- 


dent Activites  Program  Advisor  and 
organizer  of  the  week's  activities,  wel- 
comed the  2000  people  present  to  In- 
ternational Women's  Week  at  UMass. 
Byrdie  Klix,  workshop  coordinator, 
gave  a  brief  rundown  of  the  week's  ac- 
tivities and  UMass  student  Aundre 
Clinton  read  a  poem  dedicated  to  her 
mother. 

"You're  going  to  hear  a  lot  of  songs 
about  women's  lives  tonight,"  said  Near 
after  her  opening  number,  "mostly  not 


the  kind  you'll  hear  on  AM  radio." 

For  the  following  two  hours.  Near 
and  accompanist  Judie  Thomas  guided 
the  audience  from  smiles  to  tears  and 
back  again  with  stories  of  women  in 
many  different  situations  —  from  those 
taken  away  by  the  Chilean  junta  to 
those  standing  defiantly  on  the  Appala- 
chian soil  which  the  "big  machines"  of 
strip-mining  threaten  to  literally  pull 
out  from  under  them. 

The  concert  closed  with  Near  asking 


An  Enliglitening  Time  For  All: 


Men's  Weekend 

Men's  Liberation:  From  Brutal  To  Gen- 
tle Gender  Tyranny 

This  article  is  a  gathering  of  instances 
in  which  men  have  demonstrated  con- 
tempt for  women.  The  latest  and  possi- 
bly the  most  refined  version  of  this 
contempt  is  the  Men's  Liberation 
Movement. 

Men's  Liberation  is  a  reaction  to 
feminist  dignity  and  call  for  justice.  This 
reaction  has  taken  the  form  of  a  many 
tenticled  co-optation  of  feminist  con- 
sciousness-raising experiences.  To  ex- 
pose this  political  and  moral  irresponsi- 
bility of  men  is  a  serious  and  most  fun- 
damental necessity.  Such  justice  must 
be  done  with  clarity,  honesty  and  truth. 
What  1  have  written  does  not  have  all 
the  whys  and  hows  adequately  an- 
swered. Rather,  I  mean  these  words  to 
simply  be  an  act  of  refusal  to  tell  lies 
about  men's  intentions  and  purposes. 
Any  man's  intent  and  purpose  is 
clear:  he  values  his  life  over  woman's, 
and  he  works  to  ensure  his  ownership 
and  exploitation  of  women  by  acting 
against  women's  bodies  and  minds. 
When  a  male  in  this  culture  ascribes  to 
these  ethics  and  politics,  that  male  is 
aspiring  to  be  a  man.  For  instance:  a 
male  is  a  man  when  he  dismisses  or 
defends  a  newspaper's  sabotage  of 
feminist  journalism  (i.e.  the  University 
of  Massachusetts  Daily  Collegian).  A 
male  is  a  man  when,  upon  request  by  a 
companion  woman  hitch-hiker  that  he 
sit  next  to  the  male  driver,  he  claims  to 
be  oppressed  by  being  stereo-typed  as 
"the  protector".  And  a  male  is  a  man 
when  he  thinks  silently  to  himself  or 
hisses  aloud  at  a  feminist  demonstrator, 
"Dyke  —  what  she  needs  is  a  good 
f— ."  These  are  instances  of  masculinity 


and  manhood,  the  intents  and  pur- 
poses of  which  are  to  make  a  male  un- 
like woman,  thereby  making  him  a 
man. 

Being  a  man  then  is  clearly  a  moral 
injustice  to  all  women.  Being  a  man 
then  is  a  crime  against  all  woman.  And 
because  no  woman,  in  her  heart  of 
hearts,  chooses  such  indignity  and 
abuse  I  believe  that  being  a  man  is  the 
rape  of  women's  lives. 

To  identify  with  the  Men's  Liber- 
ation Movement  a  male  must  cooper- 
ate with  an  unspoken  pledge  of  alle- 
giance. The  pledge  goes  something  like 
this:  "Every  sane  man  is  accountable  to 
his  conscience  for  his  behavior."  You 
can  find  this  statement  in  Webster's  In- 
ternational Unabridged  Dictionary 
where  it  used  to  explain  the  word  ac- 
countable. I  reject  this  statement,  this 
allegiance  to  men,  on  three  counts. 

First,  for  as  long  as  there  has  been 
written  history,  sanity  has  been  defined 
on  men's  terms.  For  example,  sanity  in 
this  culture  is  the  tacit  assumption  by 
the  medical  health  establishment  that 
women's  bodies  are  rightfully  laborato- 
ries for  scientific  research  and  practice. 
The  consequences  are  appalling. 

In  1970,  in  San  Antonio,  Texas,  Dr. 
Joseph  Goldzieher  gave  sugar  pills  and 
contraceptive  foam  to  390  Chicano 
women  who  believed  they  were  get- 
ting birth-control  pills.  Goldzieher  was 
studying  whether  women  unknowingly 
taking  placebos  would  have  the  same 
side  effects  as  women  using  oral  con- 
traceptives. Four  months  later  ten 
women  became  pregnant  —  unfortu- 
nate side  effects. 

Or  consider  the  fact  that  punctures 
and  infections  from  intrauterine  de- 
vices occur  far  more  frequently  than 
conventional  health  agencies  care  to 
talk  about,  and  that  no  physician  or  re- 


searcher is  certain  of  the  effect  on  a 
woman's  body  of  the  copper  in  a  Cop- 
per-? lUD. 

Consider  as  well  that  in  a  UMass  Peer 
Sex  Education  course,  future  student 
educators  are  taught  the  "safety"  rates 
of  various  contraceptive  devices.  If, 
however,  a  male  were  to  truly  consider 
the  consequences  of  his  participation 
in  the  act  through  which  human  life  is 
created,  rather  than  reducing  contra- 
ception to  a  matter  of  statistical  conve- 
nience, his  erotic  attitude  towards  his 
lover  would  change  markedly. 

But  to  be  a  man  means  to  enjoy  con- 
venience, liberty,  safety  and  profit  at 
every  woman's  expense.  It  is  not  inci- 
dental that  these  physicians,  gynecolo- 
gists, researchers,  marketing  adminis- 
trators and  educators  are  predominant- 
ly all  men. 

Another  example  of  sanity  is  this  cul- 
ture's complacent  and  titilated  accep- 
tance of  pornography.  Hustlerand  Hol- 
lywood, Madison  Avenue  and  the  mu- 
sic industry,  all  thrust  their  cameras  and 
microphones  into  the  collective  dignity 
of  woman-kind.  Woman's  bodies  are 
chained,  clawed,  and  tethered  in 
leather  on  the  record  jackets  of  Atlan- 
tic, Electra  and  Warner.  "Ironic"  and 
"satirical"  movies  like  Inserts,  shown 
this  year  at  UMass,  display  vivid  rapes 
and  batterings  without  a  single  coher- 
ent repudiation  of  these  crimes.  The 
UMass  Peer  Sex  Education  course  nev- 
er once  discussed  rape,  battering,  or 
pornography.  Because  this  terrorism 
and  torture  is  accepted  as  normal  — 
thus  sane.  These  photographers,  busi- 
ness managers,  editors  and  educators 
are,  in  overwhelming  majority,  men. 

Or  consider  this  judicial  practice  of 
American  cultural  sanity.  It  is  generally 
known  that  police  will  not  intervene  in 
the  battering  of  a  woman  by  a  man  if

ing to  the  last  phrase  of  "Nicholia".  The 
harmony  could  still  be  heard  as  people 
left  the  Fine  Arts  Center. 

Monday  morning  brought  the  start 
of  the  workshops,  which  were  facilitat- 
ed by  area  women  and  visiting  lecturers 
and  artists.  Various  aspects  of  women's 
health  care,  feminist  political  theory, 
history  and  women's  culture  were  ex- 
plored in  the  workshops,  which  were 
very  well  run  and  enthusiastically  at- 


tended. 

On  Monday  night  Wiima  Rudolph, 
the  Olympic  runner  who  overcame  po- 
lio and  went  on  to  be  the  first  woman 
to  win  three  gold  medals  in  one  Olym- 
piad, gave  the  week's  keynote  address. 
Rudolph  told  an  audience  of  600  that  in 
order  to  succeed  you  have  to  "believe 
in  yourself." 

Paula  Gold,  Massachusetts'  Assistant 
Attorney  General  for  Consumer  Affairs, 
spoke  in  the  S.U.B.  Tuesday  afternoon. 


Addressing  the  issue  of  women  and 
their  lack  of  power  in  this  country. 
Gold  urged  women  to  "set  goals  and 
keep  an  eye  on  what  you  want.  Realize 
you  can't  change  everyone  overnight 
and  concentrate  on  achieving  those 
goals." 

Tuesday  night  brought  a  presenta- 
tion by  the  Little  Flags  Theatre,  a  Bos- 
ton-based political  group,  of  "The  Fur- 
ies of  Mother  Jones".  The  show  was

this  violence  takes  place  within  the 
couple's  house  or  apartment.  I  know 
this  to  be  true  because  I  lived  upstairs 
from  a  woman  whose  lover  brutalized 
her  frequently.  1  called  the  Amherst 
police  on  two  occasions.  They  made 
token  appearances  to  admonish  what 
was  already  finished.  The  counsel  they 
gave  this  woman,  only  after  my  repeat- 
ed requests,  was  a  noncommital  and 
oblique  directive  to  either  file  a  com- 
plaint, move  out  of  the  apartment,  or 
get  rid  of  the  man.  This  woman  was 
poor.  She  was  severely  emaciated  from 
trauma,  stress  and  depression.  She  was 
incapable  of  setting  up  another  house- 
hold. She  spent  days  and  days  trying  to 
untangle  the  callous  web  of  legal  dis- 
crimination against  women  of  her  lot, 
and  ended  up  resigning  her  hope  for 
safety  to  the  poker-table  negotiations 
of  the  male  defense  and  prosecuting 
attorneys.  Her  victimization  never  be- 
came a  case.  Liberty  and  justice  is  not 
for  all.  The  police,  judges,  attorneys, 
batterers  —  the  vast  majority  of  all 
these  are  men. 

And  finally,  the  trend  setters  of  theo- 
retical and  applied  sanity  —  our  mental 
health  establishment  —  promotes  as 
well  this  culture's  pact  against  women. 
The  now  classic  study  by  Inge  K.  Bro- 
verman  (et.  al.)  clearly  exposes  the  mas- 
culinization  of  our  society's  norm  for 
mental  health.  In  this  study  semantic 
sex-role  questionnaires  were  distribut- 
ed to  seventy-nine  practicing  mental 
health  clinicians.  These  men  and  wom- 
en were  asked  to  describe  a  "mature, 
healthy,  socially  competent  adult  wom- 
an", and  describe  the  same  for  men  and 
adults  (in  the  latter  no  sex  was  speci- 
fied). The  results  reveal  that  what  these 
professionals  consider  healthy  for  fe- 
males is  unhealthy  for  males,  and  like- 
wise what  is  healthy  for  males  is  un- 


healthy for  females.  An  adult,  however, 
is  most  healthy  when  he  or  she  thinks, 
feels,  and  acts  most  like  a  man:  "Our 
hypothesis  that  a  double  standard  of 
health  exists  for  men  and  women  was 
thus  confirmed:  the  general  standard  of 
health  (adult,  sex  unspecified)  is  actual- 
ly applied  to  men  only,  while  healthy 
women  are  perceived  as  significantly 
less  healthy  by  adult  standards." 

The  double  standard  for  women 
which  Broverman  speaks  of  is  accom- 
panied by  a  vicious  double-bind.  If  a 
woman  refuses  to  participate  in  the 
cultural  asylum  determined  for  her  —  if 
she  refuses  to  recline,  to  be  naive  and 
quiet,  to  be  ever  patient,  supportive 
and  supine  —  then  she  will  endure  lu- 
rid ridicule,  she  will  meet  threats  of 
rape,  she  will  he  raped  and  beaten,  she 
may  even  get  locked  up  and  have  a 
piece  of  her  brain  cut  away.  Because  a 
woman  is  not  a  man  —  the  Slave  is  not 
the  Master.  For  men  there  is  no  dou- 
ble-bind. Their  standard  is  quite 
straight-forward.  Men  are  the  masters 
of  this  culture.  Men  are  the  master  ar- 
biters of  sanity. 

I  think  that  by  way  of  what  I  have 
explained  so  far  it  is  clear  that  what 
men  consider  sane  is  basically  a  loath- 
ing of  womankind.  Which  brings  me  to 
the  second  point  of  rejection:  that 
men's  behavior  is  purposefully  and  in- 
tentionally meant  to  engineer  this  anti- 
woman  sanity.  The  common  refrain  of 
all  the  examples  above  is  that  every 
man,  in  every  instance,  basically  hates 
every  woman.  Because  being  a  man 
means,  in  every  instance,  not  being  a 
woman.  Because  in  order  not  to  be  a 
woman  a  man  must,  in  every  instance, 
demonstrate  his  actual  dr  potential 
control  of  women.  Only  by  such  acts 
will  other  men  know  to  what  extent  he 
is  worthy  of  being  called  a  man.  This 


worth,  a  man's  self-worth,  is  his  con- 
science. 

With  this  the  third  and  last  point  of 
rejection.  The  content  of  a  man's  cons- 
cience is  what  he  thinks,  feels,  and  acts. 
The  content  of  a  man's  conscience 
takes  shape,  gains  form,  by  his  fraterni- 
ty with  men.  The  form  of  a  man's  con- 
science is  the  principle  that  men  do  not 
pat  each  other  on  the  back  for  being 
men  —  they  pat  each  other  on  the  back 
for  not  being  a  woman.  Whether  this 
back-patting  is  an  act  of  warning,  con- 
gratulations, reassurance,  or  appease- 
ment, the  principle  motivations  are 
anti-woman  thoughts  and  feelings.  This 
is  the  form  and  content  of  every  man's 
conscience  to  which  every  man 
chooses  to  be  accountable. 

A  man  is  accountable  to  his  con- 
science because  that  is  the  only  way  he 
knows,  in  private,  that  he's  a  success  at 
being  a  man.  A  man  is  also  accountable 
to  other  men  because  this  is  the  way  in 
which  he  can  enjoy  his  birth-right 
privileges  and  prestige.  A  man  is  addi- 
tionally accountable  to  other  men  be- 
cause this  is  the  way  men  best  rule 
women's  lives.  Such  tyranny  of  woman- 
kind is  of  course  necessary,  because  it 
ensures  that  women  will  be  available  to 
be  hated,  owned  and  exploited,  to  be 
the  means  by  which  any  man,  in  private 
or  in  public,  can  exercise  the  form  and 
content  of  his  conscience. 

"Every  sane  man  is  accountable  to  his 
conscience  for  his  behavior."  This  con- 
science, this  accountability,  this  alle- 
giance to  men,  is  clearly  insane.  Is  it 
really  any  wonder  that  men  strategize 
so  keenly  to  avoid  being  accountable  to 
women  —  the  victims  of  their  con- 
sciences? Is  it  really  any  surprise  that 
men's  latest  strategy  is  the  Men's  Liber- 
ation Movement? 

What  I  have  explained  above  is  not

song  to  the  working  people  of  this 
land."  It  depicted  the  lives  and  strug- 
gles of  miners  and  their  families  in  the 
Appalachian  coal  fields. 

Nora  Ephron,  journalist  and  Esquire 
Magazine  senior  editor,  spoke 
Wednesday  night  in  a  lecture  spon- 
sored by  the  Distinguished  Visitors  Pro- 
gram. Ephron,  concerned  with  the 
"slump"  she  felt  the  Women's  Move- 
ment is  in,  told  women  to  "take  them- 
selves  seriously.    Stop    blaming,   stop 


whining  and  get  on  with  it. 

"I  think  women  have  to  be  forced  to 
define  themselves,"  said  Ephron,  "or 
they'll  make  the  sad  mistake  of  finding 
their  identities  through  the  men  they 
marry." 

Thursday  evening  featured  a  demon- 
stration by  the  Northampton  Women's 
Karate  School  and  a  performance  by 
the  Big  Mama  Poetry  Troupe,  a  touring 
theatrical  group  based  in  Ohio. 

A  program  entitled  "Women  Under 


Aparthied"  highlighted  Friday's  activi- 
ties. The  program  included  a  lecture  by 
Nana  Shesheba,  poetry  by  Zoe  Best, 
dance  by  Terry  Jenoure  and  Patty 
O'Neill  and  music  by  Vea  Williams  and 
Welcome. 

The  final  day  of  activities  was  devot- 
ed solely  to  the  arts.  In  the  afternoon  a 
"bring  your  own  poetry"  reading  was 
held,  followed  by  a  reading  featuring 
five  area  women  poets.

theory.  It  is  the  observable  reality  of 
what  men  do  and  say  amongst  men, 
what  men  do  and  say  against  women. 
Here  are  some  examples  from  the 
UMass  men's  centers  and  the  men's 
conference  "Men  Supporting  Men" 
held  April  9,  1978  at  this  University. 

Sam  Julty  is  the  author  of  the  book 
Male  Sexual  Performance.  He  lectures 
around  the  United  States  on  Men's  Is- 
sues and  the  Men's  Movement.  He  was 
the  keynote  speaker  for  this  spring's 
second  annual  men's  conference.  This 
is  what  he  said  in  an  interview  during 
that  conference:  "I  went  through  a  cri- 
sis with  my  sexuality  —  not  a  homosex- 
ual thing  —  and  was  beginning  to  be- 
come active  in  the  men's  movement" 
(Daily  Hampshire  Gazette,  April  12, 
1978,  "Men's  Lib.").  The  message  here 
is  not  idiosyncratic  to  Sam  julty.  A  male 
staffperson  at  the  Southwest's  Men's 
Center  said  in  another  interview, 
"We've  got  a  P.  R.  problem.  We  keep 
having  to  assure  men  that  this  center  is 
not  run  by  'a  bunch  of  faggots',"  (Valley 
Advocate,  October  9,  1977,  "Men's 
Groups  Trying  to  Unlearn  the  Lesson"). 
This  same  man  said  again  in  yet  another 
interview,  "Most  men  when  they  hear 
of  it  (the  men's  center)  resist.  Their  first 
thought  of  anybody  who  questions  the 
male  role  is  that  the  person  is  gay. 
That's  not  true,  but  we  just  pass  it  off" 
(Hampshire  Life,  April  8,  1978,  "Men"). 

Men  call  these  fears  homophobia. 
Feminists  know  these  fears  to  be  wom- 
an-hate, circumscribed  by  violence. 
The  message  is  distinct.  The  challenge 
of  the  Men's  Liberation  Movement  is 
to  prove  that  participating  men  are 
really  just  one  of  the  guys.  Because  be- 
ing one  of  the  guys  means  not  in  any 
way  to  be  effeminized,  not  in  any  way 
to  be  like  woman. 

In  the  closets  of  their  minds  men  are 


well  aware  that  they  are  expected  to, 
and  do,  willingly  avenge  any  acts  slan- 
derous to  manhood.  This  principle  be- 
gins with  the  uncontrolled  rage  wrent 
upon  mother  and  her  male  child. 
Mother  gets  a  beating  from  Father,  in 
front  of  the  child  or  behind  closed 
doors,  for  either  stepping  out  of  line  as 
a  woman  or  for  not  appropriately  mas- 
culinizing father's  little  son.  The  male 
child  gets  a  beating  because  he  acts  like 
mother  or  like  little  girls.  All  in  all,  the 
bludgeoning  tyrades  of  Father  echo 
with  a  familiar  scream  —  hate  of  wom- 
an. Mothers  endure  this  hate,  learning 
to  be  subservient  in  order  to  be  safe,  to 
survive,  to  be  good  wives  and  responsi- 
ble parents.  Little  boys  brave  the  trau- 
ma, soon  learning  the  acts  that  keep 
Father's  vengeance  at  bay.  These  acts 
make  little  boys  into  men. 

And  men  keep  on  beating  on  each 
other,  to  remind  themselves  that  they 
are  not  in  any  way  like  woman.  This  is 
called  competition.  Men  in  the  move- 
ment don't  like  this  stress  and  strain: 
"Look  at  all  the  men  that  are  having 
heart  attacks  and  ulcers  because  they 
can't  show  their  emotions.  It  drives 
them  to  an  early  grave,"  (Daily  Hamp- 
shire Gazette,  idem).  Men  in  the  move- 
ment say  they  would  rather  be  gentle 
with  each  other  —  would  rather  not  be 
victims  of  their  "alienating"  socializa- 
tion. The  truth,  however,  behind  this 
dissatisfaction  with  competition  is  that 
ulcers,  heart  attacks,  and  a  shorter  life- 
span deplete  men's  resources  for  their 
conquest  of  women.  Only  by  violence 
against  women  can  men  moderate  vio- 
lations amongst  themselves. 

As  well,  men's  competition  is  incom- 
patable  with  their  utilitarian  need  to 
co-opt  feminist's  hard-won  battles,  to 
bridle  women's  autonomy  and  inde- 
pendence. One  option  by  which  a  man 


can  adjust  to  a  woman-identified- 
woman  is  to  become  a  liberated  man. 
in  this  way  a  man  ensures  that  his  con- 
science will  still  function  true  to  form. 
This  is  what  it  means  to  be  gentle  and 
yet  still  be  one  of  the  guys. 

Violence  is  necessary  for  males  to  live 
as  men.  Adherents  to  conventional 
manhood  fear  men  who  advocate  the 
liberated  masculinity.  Because  these 
men  go  around  hugging  each  other  and 
talking  about  the  perplexities  of  their 
penises.  They  talk  about  nurturance 
and  emotions  and  they  cry.  They  can't 
be  men,  these  pussy-whipped  sissies, 
these  faggots.  For  they  are,  to  each  oth- 
er, non-violent. 

Men  in  the  movement  feel  their  dig- 
nities are  violated  when  they  hear 
themselves  referred  to  as  faggots,  be- 
cause these  men  en  route  to  liberation 
fear  gay  men.  Because  to  lie  with  a  man 
as  with  a  woman  is  to  commit  the  ulti- 
mate sin  —  to  not  be  a  man  (Leviticus, 
18:22  —  Christian  Bible).  After  all,  in  a 
man's  conscience  womer)  are  to  be 
f ,  literally  and  figuratively,  not  oth- 
er men. 

This  leaves  a  real  dilemma  for  gay 
men.  Because  gay  men  want  a  piece  of 
the  pie  too;  they  want  access  to  the 
privileges  and  power  accrued  to 
straight  men.  The  movie  entitled  Word 
Is  Out,  shown  at  the  men's  conference, 
is  a  documentary  which  accurately  un- 
veils the  systematic  brutality  waged 
against  homosexual  women  and  men. 
But  did  this  film,  did  any  of  the  gay 
workshops,  deal  with  how  gay  men  act- 
out  their  hate  of  women?  There  is  in- 
deed such  hate  amongst  gay  males  who 
identify  as  men.  I  just  recently  walked 
down  Christopher  Street  in  New  York 
City  (the  evening  prior  to  N.Y.C.'s  Gay 
Pride  Week)  and  was  mauled  by  the 
hundreds   of   eyes   stalking   the    meat

market  for  a  love-less  suck.  I  saw  in  the 
gay  bookstores  the  plethora  of  S  &  M 

magazines  with  fist  f ,  torture  racks, 

chains  and  whips.  No.  I  didn't  feel  bad 
that  I  love  a  male,  because  I  could 
quickly  see  what  our  relationship 
wasn't.  But  I  did  feel  sick  and  repulsed 
at  what  this  violence  means  for  women. 
Again,  men  were  seeking  to  be  men, 
demonstrating  their  savage  disdain  for 
women  by  acting  out  the  holocaust  of 
heterosexuality:  Master  and  Slave, 
Powerful  and  Powerless,  Sadist  and 
Masochist,  Butch  and  Femme. 

It  does  not  matter  so  much  that  con- 
ventional men  fear  liberated  men,  and 
that  liberated  men  fear  gay  men.  What 
matters  more  is  that  wherever  there  are 
men  —  conventional,  liberated,  or  gay 
—  women  will  suffer,  violently. 

There  is  so  much  more  to  be  said.  But 
I  must  end  here  by  drawing  a  vital  con- 
clusion and  suggesting  some  practical 
means  by  which  a  man  might  begin  to 
do  justice. 

Men  in  support  groups,  'the  heart  of 
the  movement',  talk  a  lot  about  creat- 
ing intimacy  and  trust  between  men, 
talk  a  lot  about  mythical  standards 
they've  had  to  live  up  to,  talk  a  lot 
about  how  difficult  it  is  to  be  a  man. 
Because  these  men  would  like  to  think 
that  what  women  experienced  in  femi- 
nist consciousness-raising  groups  is 
what  men  will  experience  also.  Because 
these  men  choose  to  distort  and  trivia- 
lize the  drastic  difference  between  the 
daily  life  of  any  woman  and  the  daily 
life  of  any  man. 

Men  do  not  talk  about  what  they  do 
and  say  against  women.  Because  to  be- 
gin to  talk  about  their  silence  or  the 
voice  of  their  deeds  would  be  to  risk 
exposing  their  consciences.  For  at  this 
time  in  history  men's  consciences  are 
ruthlessly  pitted  against  the  minds  and 


bodies  of  women.  Men  do  want  to  be 
accountable  to  women  for  either  their 
brutal  or  gentle  gender  tyranny. 

Men  escape  gender  justice  by  saint- 
ing  themselves  with  the  false  integrity 
of  self-liberation.  Such  treachery  is 
what  motivated  the  words  of  a  fellow 
Southwest  Men's  Center  staffperson 
preparing  for  a  Men  and  Rape  work- 
shop which  he  was  about  to  co-facili- 
tate: "Look,  if  those  women  get  really 
stormed  up  then  I'll  either  just  leave  or 
stay  and  stick  it  out.  !  mean  it's  the  end 
of  the  semester,  you  know;  it's  the  last 
thing  I've  got  to  do  and  then  I  can  just 
go  home."  Only  a  man  could  walk  away 
like  this,  because  only  men  have  liberty 
from  the  constant  threat  of  rape. 

Men  escape  gender  justice  with  "... 
the  notion  that  only  a  small  sub-group 
of  men  really  have  control  ..."  (Valley 
Advocate).  No.  Every  man  has  control 
because,  by  definition,  he  charts  the 
course  of  his  life  by  the  map  of  mascu- 
linity. The  terrain  on  this  map  is  mea- 
sured by  the  success  of  his  allegiance  to 
other  men,  and  by  the  prowess  and 
visibility  of  his  genital  conquest  of  a 
woman.  Any  male,  in  this  culture,  who 
in  any  way  prides  himself  on  being  a 
man  chooses,  condones,  and  continues 
the  plunder  of  women's  lives.  Any 
male's  denial  of  this  fact  is  a  lie.  Such  a 
lie  makes  him  a  man. 

But  men  can  choose  to  tell  the  truth. 
Any  man  can  choose  to  un-become  a 
man.  Men,  men's  centers,  and  men's 
gay  alliances  could  begin  to  be  justly 
accountable  with  the  conscience  in  the 
following  three  ways. 

First,  a  man  could  begin  to  really  lis- 
ten to  women.  By  hearing  women's 
voice  and  anger  a  man  might  begin  to 
understand  that  women  are  authentic 
human  beings,  that  they  (not  men)  are 
the  authorities  on  what  it  means  to  be  a 


woman,  and  that  they  must  and  should 
be  authors  —  on  their  own  terms  —  of 
their  own  lives  and  of  this  culture. 

Second,  a  man  could  begin  to  read 
feminist  literature,  to  do  his  home- 
work, so  as  to  absorb  the  reality  of 
women's  daily  lives.  You  don't  do  this 
for  a  week  or  a  month  or  so.  Such  a 
commitment  would  mean  embarking 
on  a  complete  revolution  in  one's  edu- 
cation, a  revolution  that  means  the  sub- 
stance of  one's  every  breath  and  the 
duration  of  one's  lifetime. 

Third  would  be  this  man's  conviction 
to  practice  what  he  is  learning  to  be 
truth.  I  think  John  Stoltenberg  said  it 
best  in  his  essay  Toward  Gender  Jus- 
tice: "...  I  imagine  that  a  genital  male 
could  begin  to  live  as  a  conscientious 
objector  to  all  the  scenarios  of  male 
bonding  —  to  refuse  to  cooperate  with 
all  the  patterns  of  expectation  that, 
whenever  two  males  meet,  they  are  to 
respect  one  another's  masculinity  and 
Condon  one  another's  power  over 
women.  What  is  necessary  is  for  genital 
males  to  betray  the  presumptions  of 
their  own  gender  class  —  conspicuous- 
ly, tactically,  and  uncompromisingly. 
The  alternative,  as  I  see  it,  is  to  betray 
every  woman  who  has  ever  said  she  is 
not  free"  (For  Men  Against  Sexism). 

I  believe  that  on  these  terms  a  male 
might  do  justice,  might  un-become  a 
man.  I  believe  that  on  these  terms  jus- 
tice might  mean:  that  the  woman  to 
whom  a  man  is  son,  the  woman  to 
whom  he  is  brother,  the  woman  to 
whom  he  is  husband,  the  woman  to 
whom  he  is  father,  the  woman  to 
whom  he  is  friend  or  aquaintance  or 
even  unknown,  that  they  might  know 
from  him  a  word,  an  act,  that  finally 
could  be  said  to  be  Right.

The  Mideast  Conflict 

For  four  years  since  the  Yom  Kippur 
war  of  1973  a  comprehensive  settle- 
ment between  the  Arab  world  and  Is- 
real  had  seemed  conditional  upon  a 
Geneva  peace  conference  co-spon- 
sored by  the  U.S.  and  the  U.S.S.R.,  and 
this  supposition  was  confirmed  in  a 
joint  U.S.-Soviet  declaration  of  Octo- 


ber 1,  1977. 

On  November  9,  however,  Egypt's 
President  Sadat  declared  after  visiting 
Saudi  Arabia  that  he  was  ready  to  go  to 
the  Israeli  parliament  itself  to  discuss 
peace;  Israel's  Prime  Minister  Begin 
formally  invited  him  to  Jerusalem;  and 
his  visit  in  mid-November,  after  thirty 
years  of  non-communication,  coin- 
cided   with    the    Muslim    festival    that 


commemorates  Abraham's  sacrifice  of 
a  ram  (traditionally,  on  the  site  later  oc- 
cupied by  the  Jerusalem  temple)  in 
place  of  his  son  Issac.  Sadat's  opening 
speech,  broadcast  all  over  the  world, 
eloquently  invoked  the  universality  of 
Abraham  as  "the  father  of  us  all"  — 
Jew,  Christian,  and  Muslim  alike. 

This   historic    meeting   was    publicly 
welcomed  by  no  spokesperson  of  any

A  Fortnight  Of  Discord 

The  women's  department  of  the 
Massachusetts  Daily  Collegian  had  a 
rather  spectacular  emergence  in  the 
spring  of  1978.  The  position  of  wom- 
en's editor  was  created  by  the  Colle- 
gian staii  in  December  of  1977,  replac- 
ing the  women's  coordinator  position. 
Julie  Melrose,  elected  as  the  first  full- 
term  women's  editor,  campaigned  with 
the  intention  of  making  women's  news 
an  integral  part  of  the  newspaper. 

As  she,  and  other  members  of  the 
women's  department  discovered,  the 
Collegian  news  department  was  not 
particularly  senstitive  to  women's  news 
in  terms  of  editing  and  placement.  The 
women's  editor,  although  a  voting 
member  of  the  Board  of  Editors,  could 
not  edit  her  own  staff  stories,  nor  did 
she  have  a  voice  in  where  those  stories 
appeared. 


On  March  9,  1978,  the  women's  edi- 
tor and  assistant  women's  editor  sent  a 
memo  to  the  Collegian  Managing  Edi- 
tor requesting  editorial  control  of  sto- 
ries generated  by  the  women's  depart- 
ment and  that  women's  news  assume 
appropriate  priority  in  space  budgeting 
of  the  paper.  This  and  ensuing  requests 
for  departmental  autonomy  were  ig- 
nored by  the  Collegian  Board  of  Edi- 
tors. The  women's  editor  then  asked 
for  support  from  other  campus  organi- 
zations which  were  sensitive  to  dis- 
criminatory practices.  The  Everywo- 
man's  Center  helped  coordinate  this 
show  of  support  and  on  April  12th, 
eighty  women  representing  sixteen 
campus  organizations  attended  a  Colle- 
gian board  meeting,  demanding  that 
the  board  meet  the  requests  of  the 
women's  department  staff. 

After  four  negative  votes,  the  Board 
of  Editors,  under  the  pressure  of  a  Stu- 


dent Senate  vote  supporting  the  wom- 
en's news  department  and  an  occupa- 
tion of  the  Collegian  newsroom  by  the 
eighty  women,  voted  in  favor  of  the 
women's  news  proposal.  The  proposal 
included  total  editorial  control  over 
four  ad-free  pages  per  week  in  the  Col- 
legian and  space  for  women's  news  on 
days  which  women's  pages  did  not  ap- 
pear. Bill  Sundstrom,  Collegian  Editor- 
in-Chief,  signed  the  agreement  for  the 
Board. 

A  week  later,  on  April  20th,  the  Col- 
legian staff  overturned  the  Board's  de- 
cision by  a  vote  of  98-28.  Over  one 
hundred  concerned  women  and  men 
attended  this  staff  meeting  to  support 
the  women's  department.  These  sup- 
porters left  the  meeting  after  the  vote 
and  broke  off  into  small  groups  to  de- 
cide that  night  a  boycott  of  the  Colle- 
gian would  be  organized  for  the  fol- 
lowing week  and  picket  lines  would  be

major  Arab  state,  and  condemned  by 
the  more  extreme  governments  in- 
cluding that  of  Syria.  The  high  hopes 
that  it  engendered  in  the  larger  world 
were  gradually  dispelled:  Sadat  had 
made  peace  conditional  on  Isreal's 
withdrawl  to  her  narrow  borders  be- 
fore the  1967  war  and  on  Palestinian 
self-determination  on  the  "West  Bank" 
of  the  River  Jordan;  Begin,  on  the  other 


hand,  persisted  in  a  biblical  chauvinism 
in  which  that  region  despite  its  over- 
whelming Arab  majority,  was  called 
"Judea"  and  "Samaria",  and  his  govern- 
ment continued  to  uphold  the  right  of 
Israelis  to  establish  new  civilian  settle- 
ments on  sites  of  biblical  (or  strategic?) 
significance  on  the  West  Bank  and  even 
in  eastern  Sinai  which  had  been  inter- 
nationally recognized  as  Egyptian  until 


the  1967  war. 

In  an  increasingly  frigid  atmosphere 
Egyptian-Israeli  staff  talks  in  Jerusalem 
and  Cairo  ground  to  a  halt;  the  pres- 
ence of  a  State  Department  mediator 
did  not  provide  the  necessary  lubrica- 
tion; and  visits  of  the  two  national  lead- 
ers to  President  Carter  in  early  Febru- 
ary 1978  and  March  21-23  respectively 
failed  to  create  new  initiatives.  Begin,

set  up. 

The  picket  line  formed  around  the 
following  Monday's  Collegian  prevent- 
ed many  people  from  reading  the 
newspaper  that  day.  Collegian  editors 
were  forced  to  hand  out  papers  indi- 
vidually in  front  of  the  Student  Union. 
This  tactic  was  decidedly  effective  but 
it  also  isolated  many  members  of  the 
campus  community.  The  picketers 
changed  tactics  the  next  day  and  for 
the  rest  of  the  week  becoming  less  hos- 
tile to  readers  of  the  Collegian. 

Five  women  representing  the  wom- 
en's community  entered  negotiations 
with  the  Collegian  seeking  a  solution  to 
the  women's  news  problem.  The  news- 
paper's compromise  proposal  was  not 
accepted  by  a  majority  of  the  women's 
news  supporters.  On  Monday,  May  1, 
fifty  women  barricaded  themselves  in 
the  Collegian  office  complex  in  the 
Campus  Center  to  protest  what  they 


referred  to  as  the  "stalling  tactics"  of 
negotiations. 

The  boycott  and  pickets  continued 
for  eleven  days,  as  did  the  occupation 
of  the  newspaper  office.  The  occupa- 
tion displaced  not  only  the  Collegian 
but  also  the  staffs  of  the  Index,  Spec- 
trum, Stostag,  and  the  Sports  Coop. 

During  the  occupation,  the  Collegian 
continued  to  publish  a  daily  newspa- 
per. The  paper  was  greatly  reduced  in 
size  due  to  the  loss  of  advertising  re- 
cords. Nightly  production  occurred  in 
various  staff  members  apartments  until 
the  paper  established  temporary  of- 
fices in  Goodell  FHall. 

Inside  the  occupied  offices,  the 
women  set  up  a  phone  network  to 
contact  supporters.  They  received 
messages  of  support  from  feminists 
Betty  Freidan,  Mary  Daly,  and  also  Re- 
presentative Elaine  Noble,  D-Cam- 
bridge.  The  occupation  became  a  me- 


dia event  when  Andrea  Dworkin  and 
Robin  Morgan,  both  nationally  known 
radical  feminists,  appeared  at  a  rally  on 
May  8th  to  support  the  occupiers. 

The  media  also  covered  the  activities 
in  the  Collegian  office  complex.  Julie 
Melrose  granted  an  interview  to  the 
Greenfield  Recorder  in  which  she  de- 
scribed the  community  within  the  of- 
fice as  communal  —  "surviving  under 
these  conditions,  our  traditional  female 
socialization  in  terms  of  nest-building 
and  cooperation  has  worked  to  our  ad- 
vantage." 

This  women's  community  remained 
in  the  newspaper  offices  until  renewed 
negotiations  offered  a  compromise. 
The  womens  community  and  the  Col- 
legian agreed  to  participate  in  a  fact- 
finding commission  on  women's  news 
in  the  paper  over  the  summer.  The 
women's  community  left  the  Collegian 
offices  on  May  12th.

despite  his  country's  financial  and  mili- 
tary dependence  on  the  U.S.  and  grow- 
ing dissent  within  his  own  people,  was 
particularly  immovable. 

Meanwhile  on  March  11,  the  Pales- 
tine terrorists,  who  had  already  mur- 
dered a  top-level  Egyptian  envoy  to  a 
conference  in  Cyprus,  had  launched 
from  their  sanctuary  in  Lebanon  a  com- 
mando raid  on  the  Israeli  coastal  high- 


way, killing  thirty-five  Israeli  civilians. 
Israel  responded  by  launching  a  broad- 
front  military  advance  in  southern

area.  At  the  time  of  writing,  Israel  was 


insisting  on  guarantees  against  re-

was  unclear  that  the  UN  force  could 
provide)  before  completing  her  partial 
withdrawal.

Racial  Awareness 

Throughout  1977-1978,  many  inci- 
dents of  blatant  racism  occurred  on  the 
UMass  campus,  on  other  surrounding 
campuses,  and  in  the  nation.  Students, 
faculty,  and  administrators  witnessed  a 
countless  number  of  racist  actions/be- 
haviors: Klan-like  cross  burnings,  at 
UMass  and  Hampshire  College,  Third 
World  students  called  stereotypic  de- 
rogatory names,  demeaning  racial  and 
anti-Semitic  statements  written  on 
walls  in  dorms,  classrooms,  hallways, 
bathrooms,  etc.,  whites  ridiculing  black 
music,  black  art,  black  dance,  etc., 
white  students  running  on  the  Third 
World  senatorial  ballot,  racial  incidents 
carefully  avioded  or  dismissed  as  pranks 
or  the  work  of  a  few  drunks  by  campus 
administrators,  and  bitter  resentment 
voiced  by  whites  about  the  so-called 
privileges  and  special  admissions  ac- 
corded to  the  Third  World  students 
could  be  heard  most  anywhere  on 
campus. 

Since  the  early  70s,  the  University  has 
committed  both  personnel  and  re- 
sources to  counteract  and  possibly 
eliminate  the  many  manifestations  of 
individual  as  well  as  institutional  racism. 
Anti-racist  educational  programs  have 
continued  to  exist  in  the  residential 
areas,  but,  have  experienced  severe 
cutbacks  in  funding.  Most  programs  are 
presently  in  jeopardy  of  being  phased 
out  as  limited  funds  and  the  institu- 
tion's commitment  to  combat  racism 
continues  to  decrease. 
In  the  Northeast/Sylvan  Area,  a  three 


credit  course  on  White  Racism  and 
Cultural  Awareness  along  with  collo- 
quia  and  workshops  were  designed  to 
increase  student  awareness  of  the  bat- 
tles and  struggles  which  were  being 
waged  to  eliminate  white  racism  from 
Amherst  to  South  Africa.  Efforts  on  the 
part  of  the  staff  —  racial  awareness 
training  specialist,  resident  assistants, 
heads  of  residence  —  have  included 
the  dissemination  of  information  about 
cultural  and  racial  differences  and  the 
operational  existance  of  racism.  Also, 
efforts  included  ways  to  help  individ- 
uals to  look  at  themselves  in  their  rela- 
tion with  others  to  glimpse  the  com- 
plex emotional  chain  reaction  repre- 
sented by  their  racial  attitudes. 

Many  whites  prefer  to  believe  that 
racism  is  no  longer  a  major  problem  on 
this  campus  nor  within  society.  They  do 
not  know  enough  about  the  sources  or 
effects  of  their  behavior  —  or  that  of  an 
institution's  —  to  realize  how  it  dam- 
ages someone  of  another  race.  Nor  are 
whites  aware  that  they,  too,  are  victims 
of  racism.  White  self-concepts  are 
based  on  fallacies  which  contribute  to  a 
distorted  (white)  picture  of  the  world. 
Racism  reflects  all  the  inadequacies  of  a 
poor  self-concept. 

Few  white  people  participate  in  anti- 
racist  programs  or  course  offerings; 
however,  the  need  for  such  offerings 
continues  to  increase  as  incidents  oc- 
cur. Some  of  these  incidents  were  of 
shocking  and  alarming  nature.  In  early 
October,  a  cross  burning  incident  took 
place  outside  the  Blue  Wall  during  the 
late  evening  when  many  Third  World 


students  were  present  at  a  disco.  The 
week  prior  to  the  Blue  Wall  incident, 
outside  Merrill  House  at  Hampshire 
College,  a  similar  Klan-like  cross  burn- 
ing occurred  as  a  Third  World  party  was 
in  progress.  There  was  little  action  tak- 
en on  the  part  of  the  UMass  communi- 
ty to  deal  with  the  blatant  and  despica- 
ble act  of  racist  violence  as  administra- 
tors dismissed  the  actions  as  "pranks" 
or  the  "work  of  a  few  drunks." 

There  were  many  other  racial  inci- 
dents which  resulted  in  much  contro- 
versy within  the  —  UMass  community 
in  1977-1978.  One  of  them  was  the 
election  of  three  non-Third  World  stu- 
dents on  the  Third  World  ballot.  These 
white  students  had  run  on  the  Third 
World  ballot  rather  from  their  own 
dormitory  or  commuter  constituency. 
Although  two  of  the  three  people  re- 
signed immediately,  heated  debate  en- 
sued for  over  a  month  when  the  third 
white  person  refused  to  resign  his  seat 
on  the  grounds  that  the  Senate  consti- 
tution had  no  specific  definition  of 
Third  World.  As  a  result  of  his  action,  J 
many  Student  Senate  sessions  were  " 
spent  trying  to  define  Third  World.  On 
the  same  November  night  the  Student 
Senate  Judiciary  ruled  that  the  defini- 
tion submitted  by  the  Third  World  cau- 
cus (which  specified  Asian,  African,  Lat- 
in, and  Native  Americans  as  those  stu- 
dents who  may  vote  in  Third  World 
elections  and  hold  Senate  seats)  was 
unconstitutional,  the  white  person  re- 
signed his  seat. 

During  the  spring  semester,  another 
long  drawn  out  controversy  occurred 


38 


the  build-up  of  some  17,000  Cuban 
mercenaries  of  the  U.S.S.R.  in  this  the- 
atre, caused  the  conservative  Saudi  and 
Iranian  governments  to  express  alarm  at 
the  Soviet  presence  in  this  Red  Sea/In- 
dian Ocean  area  and  the  lack  of  a  posi- 
tive U.S.  response.  The  Saudis  contin- 
ued to  exercise  a  moderating  influence 
on  OPEC  petroleum  prices,  but  the 
possibility  of  a  repealed  petroleum  em- 


bargo in  a  new/  Arab-Israeli  crisis  re- 
mained. Farther  north,  the  continuing 
deadlock  in  Turkish-Greek  relations 
over  Cyprus  and  over  the  definition  of 
territorial  waters  in  the  Aegean  still 
threatened  the  stability  of  this  eastern 
wing  of  the  NATO  alliance,  and  specifi- 
cally impeded  U.S.  electronic  surveil- 
lance of  Soviet  activities  from  installa- 
tions on  Turkish  soil. 


So  although  the  face-to-face  meet- 
ings of  Israelis  and  Egyptians  were  a 
gain  for  common  sense  in  an  interna- 
tional climate  that  had  so  little  of  it,  the 
further  outlook  remained  SNAFU.

when  funding  a  Black  American  Music 
Festival  would  ultimately  result  in  the 
only  "Spring  Concert."  Many  white 
students  expressed  their  resentment 
and  concern  that  an  all  Black  American 
music  festival  would  not  be  responsive 
to  their  needs  nor  that  it  responded  to 
the  majority  of  student  population. 
Many  articles  (for  and  against)  the  Duke 
Ellington  Spring  Music  Featival  ap- 
peared daily  in  the  Collegian.  Many 
conversations  were  heard  expressing 
white  culturebound  attitudes  which 
demeaned  both  black  music  and  per- 
formers. The  controversy  over  the  mu- 
sic festival  was  but  another  blatant  ex- 
ample of  cultural  racism. 

As  much  as  the  efforts  to  make  inter- 
national Women's  Week  meaningful  to 
all  women,  it  reflected  tinges  of  racism. 
Most  of  the  Third  World  women's 
workshops  were  the  last  to  be  orga- 
nized and  therefore,  were  not  con- 
firmed in  time  to  be  included  in  the 
Women's  Week  brochure  nor  given 
room  assignments  in  the  Campus  Cen- 
ter —  where  nearly  all  the  other  work- 
shops were  held  and  childcare  pro- 
vided. Although  these  consequences 
were  unintentional,  they  were  the 
product  of  a  (white)  culture  that  tends 
to  perpetuate  the  invisiblity  of  Third 
World  women  rather  consistently.  As 
in  this  case,  racism  is  often  times  a  mat- 
ter of  result  rather  than  intention. 

Numerous  people  within  the  campus 
community  worked  diligently  to  ad- 
dress these  issues  in  courses,  work- 
shops, and  informal  discussions.  Their 
efforts  were  not  limited  to  campus  is- 


sues but  also  to  publicizing  both  na- 
tional and  international  occurrences  of 
racism. 

Many  demonstrations,  debates  and 
workshops  were  organized  to  discuss 
and  protest  Prime  Minister  Vorster's 
blatantly  racism  regime  in  South  Africa. 
Repressive  government  and  police  ac- 
tions were  responsible  for  the  Septem- 
ber 12th  death  of  black  nationalist  lead- 
er Steven  Biko  and  the  October  19th 
crackdown  on  dissent  which  resulted 
in  the  shut  down  of  three  black  publi- 
cations, killing  hundreds,  imprisoning 
hundreds  which  included  forty-seven 
black  activists  and  nearly  200  childern 
and  disbanding  eighteen  black  groups. 
Many  petitions  and  letters  were  gath- 
ered and  sent  to  President  Carter  call- 
ing for  a  U.S.  economic  embargo  of 
South  Africa. 

In  South  Africa,  the  doctrine  of 
apartheid  or  racial  seperation,  is  the 
official  philosophy  of  the  state,  and  is 
enforced  upon  everyone.  Under 
apartheid  over  18  million  blacks  have 
no  political  or  economic  rights  but 
whose  slave  labor  produces  the 
nation's  wealth;  where  eighty  percent 
of  the  black  majority  lives  below 
poverty  level;  where  450  U.S. 
corporations  have  provided  crucial 
support  to  the  white  racist  regime  with 
the  investment  of  1.5  billion  dollars. 
Trustees  at  UMass  voted  in  October  to 
divest  all  University  stock  in  companies 
in  South  Africa.  Hampshire  and  Smith 
Colleges  also  divested  much  of  their 
stocks.  However  Amherst  College 
Trustees  refused  to  divest  $20  million 


worth   of   stock   in    U.S.   corporations 
with  operations  in  South  Africa. 

Many  campus  debates  and 
demonstrations  were  also  held  in 
protest  against  the  Supreme  Court 
possibly  ruling  in  favor  of  Bakke  which 
would  endanger  the  little  progress  that 
has  occurred  in  equalizing 
opportunities  in  higher  education. 
Other  concerns  addressed  were 
protesting  the  rise  in  neo-Nazi 
activities  and  the  planned  march  in 
Skokie,  Illinios;  the  recent  upsurge  of 
the  Ku  Klux  Klan  across  the  country; 
sterilization  of  Third  World  women  in 
the  U.S.  and  Puerto  Rico;  and  protests 
which  supported  the  liberation 
struggle  for  the  independence  of 
Puerto  Rico. 

At  UMass  and  throughout  the  nation, 
much  hard  work  has  been  put  into 
eliminating  racism;  however,  it  has  not 
been  able  to  stop  racism  altogether. 
Throughout  the  nation,  affirmative 
action  programs  at  institutions  of 
higher  education  are  on  the  decline. 
There  continues  to  be  less  concern  and 
commitment  to  bring  about  economic, 
educational,  and  social  parity  for  all 
people  within  the  United  States.  At 
UMass,  all  people,  especially  whites, 
must  become  more  conscious  of  the 
widespread  existence  of  racism  in  all  its 
forms,  and  the  immense  costs  it 
imposes  on  the  entire  society.  Much 
more  responsibility  needs  to  be  taken, 
again  by  whites,  to  help  bring  about  the 
elimination  of  racism  and  create  a  more 
enhancing,  just  society  for  all  people.

Toward  Tomorrow 

The  third  annual  Toward  Tomorrow 
Fairwas  held  June  16-18  here  at  UMass. 
Sponsored  by  the  Summer  Session  Of- 
fice, the  fair  featured  over  400  exhibits 
and  presentations,  and  more  than  thirty 
nationally  recognized  speakers  who 
displayed  and  discussed  alternative 
technologies  and  social  options  for  the 
present  and  the  future. 

Toward  Tomorrow  '75  focused  on  al- 


ternative energy  and  -.nelter  with  solar 
energy  systems,  wind  generators,  wood 
stoves,  and  eight  dome-shaped  struc- 
tures, which  comprised  a  large  segment 
of  the  outdoor  exhibits.  There  were 
also  demonstrations  in  home  construc- 
tion for  the  do-it-yourselfers. 

Exhibits  and  presentations  in  New 
England  agriculture,  fish-farming,  land 
use,  education,  health,  food  and  nutri- 
tion, and  conservation  rounded  out  the 
fair's    emphasis    on     alternative    ap- 


proaches to  lifestyles  and  living. 

The  keynote  address,  entitled  "Mak- 
ing Solar  Energy  Work",  was  delivered 
by  Barry  Commoner,  environmentalist, 
biologist,  and  author  of  several  books 
including  The  Closing  Circle.  Buckmin- 
ster  Fuller,  designer,  architect,  humani- 
tarian, and  author  of  over  thirty-five 
books,  including  his  most  recent.  Syn- 
ergetics, spoke  both  at  the  fair  and  dur- 
ing the  World  Game  Workshops  which 
continued  for  four  days  after  the  fair.

Because  of  the  advancements  in 
medicine,  older  Americans  are  around 
in  greater  numbers  than  before.  Not 
long  ago  these  people  were  part  of  the 
family's  environment;  they  participated 
at  every  level  of  family  interaction.  In 
the  last  few  decades,  however,  society 
has  changed  rapidly.  People  have 
moved  to  the  city,  to  apartments  and 
smaller  houses.  Young  people  became 
more  involved  in  careers,  in  institutions 
outside  the  family,  focusing  intensely 
on  the  future  lest  the  rapidity  of 
change  pass  them  by. 

As  a  result  of  this  process,  youth-ori- 
ented America  lost  sight  of  the  past  and 
its  symbols:  the  old  people  in  our 
midst.  They  have  virtually  become  a 
lost  continent  amid  an  entire  culture 
incapable  of  appreciating  the  vast 
amount  they  have  to  offer. 

This  may  be  our  society's  greatest 
tragedy.  For  while  society  loses  out  on 
all  of  the  benefits  older  people  have  to 
offer,  many  older  people  retire  and 
waste  away  physically  and  emotionally 
because  of  their  inactivity  and  degrad- 
ed self-image. 

When  1  was  working  for  the  Belcher- 
town  Council  on  Aging,  1  observed  this 
needless  waste  of  energy  and  creativity, 
and  knew  what  feeling  helpless  was  all 
about.  Then  an  idea  occured  to  me: 
why  not  have  a  school  where  all  the 
instructors  are  senior  citizens?  It  took 
about  a  minute  to  sink  in;  then  the  idea 
became  as  natural  and  practical  as  a 
hawk  using  his  wings  to  soar. 

School  For  All  Seasons  became  a  re- 
ality shortly  after,  with  its  first  class  held 


■SCHOOL   FOR   ALL 


in  the  Belchertown  Junior-Senior  High 
School.  The  first  course  to  be  offered 
was  a  bee-keeping  class  instructed  by 
seventy-nine  year  old  beekeeper,  Neil 
Cochran.  For  all  the  pupils  cared,  Neil 
could  have  been  twenty-nine.  As  a  re- 
sult of  Neil's  course,  every  pupil  went 
out  and  bought  bee-keeping  equip- 
ment. 

Soon  the  community  will  have  the 
oppurtunity  to  benefit  from  the  exper- 
ience and  wisdom  of  its  older  mem- 
bers. School  For  All  Seasons  will  be 
running  such  courses  as  bee-keeping, 
banjo,  photography,  art,  mandolin,  gui- 
tar, and  a  course  in  how  to  cope  with 
loss,  entitled  "Loss  Does  Not  Mean  Los- 
ing," We  may  have  a  course  entitled 
"Inside  the  C.I. A."  taught  by  a  retired 
C.I. A.  agent. 

Possible  credit  courses  include 
Shakespeare,  Dante,  Chaucer,  Logic, 
Experiments  in  Creative  Writing,  Your 
Small  Vegetable  Garden,  a  geology 
course  entitled  "Knowing  Your  Con- 
necticut   Valley",     History     of     Music 


Style,  Community  Ecological  Problems, 
Plain  Surveying,  Food  Science  and  Nu- 
trition, and  a  graduate  psychology 
course.  Many  School  For  All  Seasons 
professors  are  retired  department 
heads  or  deans  from  the  five  college 
area. 

Besides  courses.  School  For  All  Sea- 
sons has  some  other  projects  planned, 
or  in  the  works.  A  School  For  All  Sea- 
sons Theatre  Workshop  is  underway, 
run  by  Ricky  Mazer  of  Amherst.  Other 
upcoming  projects  include  a  film  festi- 
val stressing  intergenerational  themes, 
and  an  encounter  group  specifically  fit- 
ted to  the  needs  of  older  people.  Saul 
Rotman,  the  psychologist  who  will  run 
the  group,  is  himself  an  older  individ- 
ual. The  film  festival  will  probably  be 
held  in  the  fall  of  1978  at  the  Pleasant 
Street  Cinema  in  Northampton. 

The  stigmas  of  old  age  are  on  a  see- 
saw with  the  stereotypes  of  old  age. 
These  stereotypes  influence  what  soci- 
ety thinks  about  older  people  and  per- 
haps, more  importantly,  what  older 
people  think  of  themselves.  The  great- 
est danger  occurs  when  older  people 
begin  to  believe  that  there  is  some  sort 
of  secret  justice  in  making  them  soci- 
ety's expendable  elements. 

When  planned  obsolescence  crosses 
over  the  line  from  light  bulbs  and  spark 
plugs  —  to  human  beings  —  perhaps 
the  time  has  come  for  younger  people 
to  get  of  their  ages  and  rally  to  support 
the  people  they  will  someday  become.

World  Game  was  based  on  Fuller's  be- 
lief that  there  are  enough  resources  to 
satisfy  100%  of  humanities  needs,  and 
focused  on  energy  and  shelter,  explor- 
ing strategies  for  meeting  world-wide 
demands. 

Other  speakers  included:  Hazel  Hen- 
derson, Co-Director  of  the  Princeton 
Center  for  Alternative  Futures;  Nicho- 
las Johnson,  former  Federal  Communi- 
cations Commissioner;  Evelyn  Murphy, 
Executive  Secretary  of  Environmental 


Affairs  for  the  Commonwealth  of  Mas- 
sachusetts; Stewart  Udall,  former  Sec- 
retary of  the  Interior;  and  representa- 
tives from  the  Department  of  Energy, 
the  Farmers  Home  Administration,  and 
over  twenty-five  other  private  and 
public  agencies. 

Pete  Seeger  opened  the  fair  with  a 
benefit  concert  for  Toward  Tomorrow. 
More  than  twenty-five  different  musi- 
cians performed  throughout  the  week- 
end on  the  outdoor  stage. 


Children's  activities  included  spin- 
ning and  weaving  demonstrations,  ice- 
cream making,  a  presentation  by  the 
Poor  House  Puppets  Theatre,  paper  re- 
cycling, and  much  more. 

Although  attendance  figures  were 
down  from  25,000  last  year  to  18,000 
this  year,  everyone  who  attended  felt 
that  they  learned  a  lot  about  what  they 
may  be  able  to  expect  in  the  future.

Carter's  Conference 

President  Carter's  opposition  to  the 
tuition  tax  credit  bill  for  college  was  the 
major  part  of  a  White  House  briefing 
for  college  editors  and  news  directors 
in  March  of  1978.  It  was  the  first  time  a 
President  had  ever  called  a  news  con- 
ference solely  for  college  journalists. 


The  tuition  tax  credit  bill,  devised  by 
the  House  Ways  and  Means  Commit- 
tee, is  "ill  advised  and  not  well  fo- 
cused," the  President  said,  while  he 
maintained  his  proposal  to  increase  aid 
to  college  students  that  will  "help 
those  families  most  in  need." 

The  Carter  proposal,  which  he  said 
would  affect  students  more  than  the 
tuition  tax  credit  and  be  "less  than  half 
the  cost,"  would  increase  aid  to  college 
students  by  1.46  billion  dollars. 

Three  focuses  of  the  Carter  plan  are 
direct  grants  to  students  from  middle 
income  families,  the  authorization  of 
increased  loans  to  students,  and  the  ex- 
pansion of  work  study  programs  on 
the  nation's  campuses. 

The  House  bill,  termed  a  "boon  to 
affluent  families"  by  the  President, 
would  provide  tax  credits  of  twenty- 
five  percent  of  the  cost  of  college  or 
other  post-secondary  tuition,  up  to  a 
maximum  credit  of  $250  a  year. 

Journalists  at  the  conference  also 
quizzed  Carter  on  the  nation's  econo- 
my, amnesty,  the  Equal  Rights  Amend- 


ment, his  participation  in  fund-raising 
events  for  political  candidates,  and 
speculation  that  he  is  a  "one-term 
president". 

The  news  conference  was  preceded 
by  a  briefing  by  Carter's  top  advisors  in 
foreign  and  domestic  affairs  and  the 
Department  of  Health,  Education  and 
Welfare.  The  200  students  went  to  the 
old  executive  building  across  the  street 
from  the  White  House  after  receiving 
invitations  and  security  clearances  from 
the  press  office.  There  were  also 
numerous  checks  by  the  Secret  Service 
personnel  during  the  briefing. 

After  the  conference.  Carter  praised 
college  students  in  general  for  having  a 
flexibility  of  thought  and  analysis,  and 
said  these  qualities  were  an  advantage 
allowing  students  to  freely  express  sup- 
port and  criticism  of  the  government. 

"I  don't  believe  there's  a  dormancy 
among  college  students.  Despite  criti- 
cism from  some  of  the  media,  the  com- 
mitment is  still  there,"  he  said.

Learning  Tomorrows 

The  Learning  Tomorrows  Confer- 
ence, sponsored  by  the  School  of  Edu- 
cation, was  an  exciting  survey  of  the 
possibilities  for  and  challenges  to  edu- 
cation. Most  of  the  250  presenters, 
which  included  such  well  known  edu- 
cators as  Jonathon  Kozol,  Nat  Hentoff, 
Elise  Boulding,  Ivan  lllich,  Kenneth 
Clark,  and  Buckminster  Fuller,  agreed 


that  contemporary  education  was  do- 
ing far  too  little  for  the  kids.  Dr.  Bould- 
ing argued  that  young  people  are  in- 
creasingly "out  of  touch  with  the  au- 
thenticity of  human  experience". 

Opinions  diverged,  of  course,  when 
remedies  were  proposed.  Ivan  lllich, 
social  critic  and  author,  maintained  that 
"the  need  for  education  is  a  measure  of 
society's  decay."  He  pressed  for  his 
proposal:  a  learned  and  "deschooled 


society."  Kozol  suggested  that  U.S. 
educators  model  Cuba's  success  in  fus- 
ing book  and  practical  learning  in 
schools.  Kenneth  Clark,  well  known 
civil  rights  activist  and  psychologist, 
suggested  that  educators  begin  to 
"train  intelligence  while  at  the  same 
time  socializing  individuals  to  moral 
and  human  values."

participants  came  to  the  campus  from

The  future  overtook  the  present  at 
the  University  during  April  1978.  The 
visit  of  futurist,  philosopher,  architect, 
and  poet,  Buckminster  Fuller,  as  a 
Scholar-in-Residence,  and  the 
convening  of  a  national  conference  on 
the  future  of  education  —  Learning 
Tomorrows  —  jointly  altered  UMass' 
time  dimension. 

Dr.  Fuller,  known  throughout  the 
world  as  "Bucky",  holds  forty  honorary 
degrees,  though  he  never  completed 
his  Baccalaurate.  During  the  month  of 
April,  Fuller  served  as  a  visiting  faculty 
member  of  the  School  of  Education's 
Future  Studies  Program.  Bucky  spoke 
twice  before  audiences  in  the  Fine  Arts 
Center  and  Bowker  auditorium,  met 
with  informal  School  of  Education 
graduate  seminars,  and  addressed 
several  classes,  including  a  sixth  grade 
class  at  Amherst's  Marks  Meadow 
Elementary  School. 

During  his  stay,  Bucky  delivered  a 


nine  hour,  three  part  lecture  entitled, 
"Synergetic  Explorations."  Over  1500 
UMass  students  and  area  residents 
attended  this  extraordinary  lecture, 
which  ranged  far  and  wide  over  topics 
in  a  variety  of  fields  including:  history, 
anthropology,  physics,  chemistry, 
economics,  futuristics  and  design. 

It  is  impossible  to  summarize  the 
ideas  presented  at  the  University,  but 
before  each  group  his  basic  message 
was  the  same.  "Its  part  of  your 
education,"  he  said,  "to  get  your  senses 
to  really  tell  the  truth."  We  know 
better,  for  example,  than  to  say  the  sun 
sets,  when  in  fact,  the  Earth  is  turning. 
Such  awareness,  which  links  scientific 
knowledge  to  language  and  our 
everyday  understanding,  is  what's 
behind  Fuller's  famed  metaphor, 
"Spaceship  Earth". 

Fuller  has  striven  to  advance  these 
perceptions  throughout  his  long  ca- 
reer. His  geodesic  dome,  which  uses 
the  sphere  to  enclose  more  space  with 
less  materials  than  any  other  shelter 


method,  personifies  Bucky's  design  ef- 
forts to  "do  more  with  less."  At  eighty- 
three,  this  native  of  Milton,  Massachu- 
setts, claims  he  has  discovered  nature's 
coordinate  system.  With  this  "syner- 
getic geometry"  Bucky  urges  us  to  ex- 
perience the  world  in  an  entirely  new 
way. 

These  are  more  than  mere  "aca- 
demic" matters  to  Bucky.  Our  global 
problems  of  hunger,  energy  and  po- 
tential mass  destruction  by  nuclear  war 
or  environmental  crisis  are  addressed 
by  Fuller.  "We  are  in  trouble  today,"  he 
told  his  audience  at  the  Fine  Arts  Cen- 
ter, "because  people  don't  understand 
what  is  going  on.  We  already  have  the 
technology  to  solve  our  problems  but 
most  people  don't  understnd  it.  If  we 
are  going  to  make  it  on  this  planet  .  . . 
the  young  will  have  to  do  it  by  virtue  of 
everybody  understanding  and  using 
what  we  know."

all  over  New  England  and  from  as  far 
away  as  California.  UMass  students  and 
visitors  alike  were  introduced  to  a  flur- 
ry of  innovative  educational  programs 
and  technologies  over  the  four  days. 
The  newest  television  programming 
and  computer-assisted  learning  tech- 
nologies were  displayed.  Scores  of  in- 
novative curriculd  ideas  were  also  pre- 
sented in  the  Learning  Tomorrow's  ex- 
tensive exhibit  area. 


"The  version  of  the  future  most  of  us 
see,"  explained  Associate  Professor 
Peter  Wagschal.  "Learning  Tomorrows 
offers  many  complete  and  diverse 
visions  of  what  education  can  be  like. 
We  hope  we've  succeeded  in  helping 
to  make  future  possibilities  in 
education  more  real  for  people." 

It  was  no  surprise  that  Learning  To- 
morrows' keynote  speake.-,  Bucky 
Fuller,  presented  the  conference  with 


both  its  most  challenging  and  attractive 
future  vision.  "I  know,"  he  said,  "that 
all  politics  are  invalid,  because  we  now 
have  the  knowledge  to  provide  the  en- 
tire world  with  the  highest  standard  of 
living  ever  known.  And  if  there  is  any 
future  to  education,  it  must  be  to  help 
humanity  understand  that  we  have  the 
option  to  succeed  aboard  Spaceship 
Earth."

In  the  evolution  of  political-economics 

Of  the  late  twentieth  century 

There  is  an  emerging  pattern 

In  which  yesterday's  virtues 

Become  todays  vices 

And  vice  versa 

Vices  Virtues 

We  hope  this  signals  the  demise 

Of  either  dollar  or  gun  manipulated 

Political  puppetry's 

Overwhelment  of  humanity 

Throughout  the  past  state 

Of  innate  ignorance  of  the  many, 

The  informed  few 

Told  the  uniformed  many 

What  to  do 

So  that  the  many's  coordinated  efforts 

Could  produce  most  effectively 

The  objectives  of  the  few. 

An  omniwell-informed  humanity 

Does  not  need  to  be  told 

What  needs  to  be  done 

Nor  how  to  cooperate  synergetically 

It  does  so  spontaneously. 

History  demonstrates  without  exception 
That  successful  sovereign  power  seizers 
And  successfully  self-perpetuating 
Supreme  physical  power  holders  in  general 
Will  always  attempt  to  divide  the 

opposition 
In  order  to  conquer  them 
And  thereafter  keep  the  conquered  divided 
To  keep  them  conquered. 

Controlling  the  sources 
Of  production  and  distribution 
The  self-advantaging  power  systems 
Keep  the  conquered  divided  by  their 

uncontestable  fiat 
That  the  individual's  right  to  live 
Must  be  earned 

To  the  power  structure's  satisfaction 
By  performing  one  of  the  ruling  system's 
Myriad  of  specialized  functions. 


The  top-gun,  self-serving  power  structure 

Also  claims  outright  ownership 

Of  the  lives  of  all  those  born 

Within  their  sovereignly  claimed 

Geographical  bounds 

And  can  forfeit  their  citizens'  lives 

In  their  official  warfaring. 

Which  of  psychological  necessity 

Is  always  waged  in  terms 

Of  moral  rectitude 

While  covertly  protecting  and  fostering 

Their  special  self-interests. 

To  keep  the  conquered 
Controllably  disintegrated 
And  fearfully  dependent 
"They"  also  foster  perpetuation  or 

increase 
Of  religious,  ethnic,  linguistic, 
And  skin-color  differentiations 
As  obvious  conditioned-reflex 

exploitabilities. 

Special-interest  sovereignity  will  always 
Attempt  to  monopolize  and  control 
All  strategic  information  (intelligence). 
Thus  to  keep  the  divided  specializing 

world  SL 

Innocently  controlled  by  its  propaganda 
And  dependent  exclusively  upon  its  dictum. 

Youth  has  discovered  all  this 

And  is  countering  with  comprehensivity 

and  synergy 
Youth  will  win  overwhelmingly 
For  truth 

Is  eternally  regenerative 
In  youth 
Youth's  love 
Embracingly  integrates. 
Successfully  frustrates 
And  holds  together 
Often  unwittingly 
All  that  hate,  fear,  and  selfishness 
Attempt  to  disintegrate.

We  assume  that  in  the  good  ole  days 
the  administration  was  well  known  and 
respected.  But  now  students  neither 
know  them,  nor  necessarily  respect  them. 
It's  impossible  for  a  campus  administrator 
to  get  to  know  every  student,  so  we  at 
the  INDEX  would  like  to  introduce  you  to 
the  administration  and  a  few  selected  fac- 
ulty (chosen  by  student  and  departmental 
recommendations).  Now  you'll  know  who 
to  smile  at  on  campus,  and  when  you  see 
one  of  the  administrators  in  Stop&Shop, 
it's  your  turn  to  introduce  yourself.

When  I  took  office,  the  University  was  on 
the  upswing  of  a  dramatic  expansion  in  both 
enrollment  and  facilities.  Having  tripled  in 
size  in  a  decade,  the  Amherst  campus  had 
just  added  another  1,500  new  students  and 
100  new  faculty  members.  Its  Campus  Cen- 
ter was  dedicated  within  a  few  months  of  my 
appointment.  The  new  twenty-eight  story  li- 
brary was  under  construction;  the  site  for 
the  Fine  Arts  Center  was  cleared;  the  sec- 
ond phase  of  the  Graduate  Research  Cen- 
ter was  on  the  drawing  boards.  With  20,500 
students  already  enrolled,  a  Faculty  Senate 
foresaw  a  campus  enrollment  of  35,000  stu- 
dents or  more  by  1980. 

In  its  optimistic  expansion,  the  University 
of  Massachusetts  was  no  different  than  many 
other  public  and  private  institutions  across 
the  country.  The  number  of  students  en- 
rolled within  the  Commonwealth  increased 
from  113,00  to  300,000  during  the  1960s 
Fifteen  new  community  colleges  were 
established.  The  combined  enrollment  of  the 
University  and  the  state  colleges  grew  by 
50,000.  Even  so,  the  Board  of  Higher  Edu- 
cation in  1968  had  projected  a  shortage  of 
113,000  student  places  by  1980,  and  as- 
signed to  UMass  a  50,000  student  total  by 
the  end  of  the  decade. 

During  the  past  seven  years,  the  ambi- 
tious initiatives  visible  in  1970  have  been 
brought  to  a  substantial  completion.  In  Octo- 
ber, 1973,  the  University  of  Massachusetts 
Medical  School  moved  into  its  polished  gran- 
ite building  beside  Lake  Quinsigamond.  In 
January,  1974,  the  new  Harbor  Campus  — 
the  largest  single  construction  project  ever 
undertaken  by  the  state  —  opened  its  doors 
to  students.  At  Amherst,  in  October,  1975, 
during  the  inaugural  concert  at  the  new  Fine 
Arts  Center,  the  Trustees  awarded  Boston 
Symphony  Orchestra  conductor  Seiji  Ozawa 
an  honorary  degree.  In  January,  1976,  the 
Teaching  Hospital  admitted  its  first  patients 


and  the  arduous  and  exciting  process  of 
opening  new  services  and  new  beds  began. 
Meanwhile,  the  University-wide  student 
total  grew  from  24,900  in  1970  to  30,500  in 
1973  and  to  almost  34,000  this  past  Sep- 
tember (1977). 

.  Strong  comprehensive  professional 
planning  and  budgeting,  careful  delineation 
of  roles  and  missions,  a  clear  separation  of 
authority  from  that  of  general  state  adminis- 
tration priorities,  and  the  safeguarding  of 
operational  autonomy  are  absolute  prereq- 
uisites in  the  years  ahead.  The  most  able  and 
distinguished  of  faculties,  the  most  talented 
and  motivated  of  students,  the  best  adminis- 
trators, the  most  cohesive  and  policy-orient- 
ed trustees  cannot  effectively  carry  out  their 
respective  roles  amid  the  frustrations  and 
conflicts  which  our  present  disarray  pro- 
duces. 

The  University:  Retrospect  &  Prospect 

Robert  Wood,  President 

December  1977 


When  Chairman  Healey  telephoned  me 
from  Worcester  at  the  time  of  your  Novem- 
ber meeting  to  inquire  whether  I  would  ac- 
cept this  appointment,  I  asked  him  if  the 
Trustees  wanted  a  caretaker  for  the  interim 
period  or  someone  who  would  serve  as 
President  in  fact  as  well  as  in  name.  Chair- 
man Healey  told  me  it  was  his  impression 
the  Trustees  did  not  want  a  nominal  chief 
executive  pro  tern,  but  a  person  who  would 


administer  strongly  and  help  the  Board 
move  actively  on  matters  which  should  not 
wait  for  the  coming  of  a  new  long-term  Presi- 
dent. Given  that  assurance  —  confirmed  by 
later  statements  of  other  Trustees  —  I  ac- 
cepted the  appointment.  I  believe  it's  impor- 
tant for  me  to  make  it  clear  why  I  did  so. 

I  had  in  no  personal  or  other  way  desired 
or  sought  the  position  you  decided  to  ask  me 
to  take.  Having  served  for  five  years  as  the 
founding  President  of  a  college  of  which  I  am 
proud,  I  had  no  longing  for  status  or  position 
which  I  aspired  to  satisfy  as  an  administra- 
tive officer  of  this  University.  I  was  happy 
teaching  in  the  excellent  Political  Science 
Department  of  our  Boston  campus  and  con- 
ducting my  research  on  the  General  court. 

The  reason  I  accepted  the  Presidency  on 
an  interim  basis  was  two-fold  and  very  sim- 
ple. First,  I  believed  there  was  a  real  need 
for  a  chief  executive  to  serve  the  University 
in  an  active,  deeply  committed  mode  during 
the  transition,  interim  period,  and  —  if  you 
can  forgive  an  old-fashioned  view  of  things 
—  I  saw  it  as  my  duty  to  accept  the  responsi- 
bility as  it  was  defined.  Second,  I  accepted 
because  I  understood  that  the  Board  was 
prepared,  indeed  eager,  to  go  forward  with 
certain  important  current  tasks  essential  for 
the  University's  welfare. 

It  is  within  this  context  that  I  will  seek  to 
serve  you  as  an  active  —  not  passive  — 
interim  President.  To  be  effective  in  the  Uni- 
versity's interest,  my  service  will  not  only 
need  the  best  that  I  can  bring  to  it,  with  my 
associates'  help,  but  it  will  also  need  your 
support  in  addition  to  your  wise  counsel  and 
your  steady  guidance

Chancellor  Sromcry 


Randolph  Bromery 


"I  came  to  UMass  to  teach  and  conduct 
research  in  geophysics  in  the  geology  de- 
partment. I  had  been  with  the  Federal  Gov- 
ernment for  twenty  years,  and  found  that  1 
was  drifting  further  and  further  away  from 
science  and  moving  nearer  and  nearer  to 
administration 

"It's  really  interesting  how  I  got  here.  I 
was  originally  being  recruited  by  Franklin 
and  Marshall  Colleges,  and  was  in  negotia- 
tions with  Boston  College.  I  was  invited  to 
come  to  the  University  of  Massachusetts  to 
give  a  talk  at  a  geology  conference,  and  was 
invited  at  that  time  to  come  and  teach.  My 
full-time  teaching  lasted  about  a  year,  and  1 
was  then  appointed  Department  Chairman 
and  a  year  later  called  into  the  administra- 
tion by  former  Chancellor  Oswald  Tippo  to 
reorganize  and  head  up  the  Office  of  Stu- 
dent Affairs.  We  had  an  implied  understand- 
ing that  I  would  administer  this  office  for  a 
couple  of  years  and  then  return  to  teaching. 
But  Chancellor  Tippo  then  resigned,  and  I 
was  offered  the  Acting  Chancellorship  by 
President  Wood  and  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
which  was  a  complete  suprise  to  me;  howev- 
er, I  accepted.  This  October  I  will  start  my 
eighth  year  as  Chancellor,  which  is  a  rela- 
tively long  tenure,  twice  the  average  "life" 
of  my  contemporary  University  Chancellors 
or  Presidents. 

"What  is  happening  now-a-days  is  that  the 
Presidents  and  Chancellors  have  consider- 
ably more  responsibility  and  less  and  less 
delegated  authority  to  act.  The  role  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  has  changed  significantly 
here  and  throughout  the  country.  Boards 
used  to  perceive  their  role  as  stewards  of 
their  respective  institutions.  Today,  Boards 
are  becoming  more  and  more  involved  in  the 
institution's  day  to  day  management  deci- 
sions. In  general,  this  forces  the  Chancellor 
or  President  to  watch  the  decision  making 
process  like  a  spectator  at  a  tennis  match. 
The  Board  and  the  students  or  faculty  bat 


the  ball  back  and  forth,  a  decision  is 
reached  and  handed  to  the  administra- 
tor to  implement. 

"The  perception  of  my  job  of  Chan- 
cellor at  this  University  is  still  relative- 
ly provincial.  People  feel  that  1  should 
stay  closeted  in  my  Whitmore  office 
each  and  every  day.  They  believe  that 
the  University  will  cease  to  function  if 
I'm  not  physically  present.  1  have 
served  on  several  National  Academy 
of  Science  committees,  primarily  be- 
cause I  feel  it  important  that  the  Uni- 
versity of  Massachusetts  be  represented  on 
those  national  committees.  I'm  chairman  of 
the  Department  of  Commerce  Sea  Grant 
Review  Committee,  an  important  committee 
that  conducts  oversight  function  for  all  sea 
grant  colleges  and  sea  grant  programs  in  the 
United  States. 

"I  sit  on  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Exxon 
and  serve  as  a  member  of  the  Board's  Com- 
mittee on  Contributions,  which  approves  the 
allocation  of  nearly  30  million  dollars  for 
social  and  educational  programs  each  year. 
Certainly,  I'm  not  going  to  submit  a  proposal 
to  the  committee;  however,  if  a  proposal 
comes  from  this  institution,  the  fact  that  I'm 
sitting  on  the  committee  is  certainly  not  go- 
ing to  hurt  it.  I  see  that  my  role  at  Exxon  is  of 
extreme  importance  to  the  company,  the 
stockholders,  and  the  University  of  Massa- 
chusetts 

"I  wasn't  really  suprised  when  I  was  not 
chosen  to  be  President  of  the  University. 
Contrary  to  what  people  believe,  it  was 
quite  an  agonizing  decision  for  me  to  put  my 
name  in  as  a  candidate,  because  I  realized 
fully  the  inherent  negative  dynamics  of  being 
an  internal  candidate.  Secondly,  I  had  to 
agonize  over  whether  I  really  wanted  to 
make  another  three  to  five  year  commit- 
ment to  an  administrative  position  at  this 
University.  I  had  watched  the  Board  of 
Trustees  change  rapidly  in  composition.  I 
looked  at  all  the  other  internal  and  external 
issues  and  I  figured  that  the  University  need- 
ed a  transition  President  who  understood 
the  internal  complexities  of  the  institution 
and  it's  history. 

A  'typical'  day  for  me  starts  with  my 
waking  up  at  6:00  a.m.,  and  arriving  at  the 
office  at  8:00  a.m.  Then  I  start  with  my  list 
of  appointments.  The  morning  mail  comes  in 
at  10:00  a.m.  the  mail  is  logged  and 

then  it  is  sorted:  informational  items,  adverti- 
sements and  less  important  items;  and  the 
"red  folder"  are  those  items  that  1  have  to 


take  action  on,  things  that  I  have  to  respond 
to  myself  personally  or  directly.  Abput  700 
pieces  of  mail  come  across  my  desk  each 
week,  and  of  that  700  pieces  about  200 
require  action  to  be  taken  by  me. 

"I  rarely  have  a  lunch  that  isn't  of  a  busi- 
ness nature.  A  couple  of  times  a  month  I 
may  be  able  to  go  up  to  my  house  at  lunch 
time,  and  my  wife  and  I  usually  have  this  one 
brief  moment  to  talk  I  return  to  the 

office  for  more  appointments  until  5:00.  Be- 
tween 5:00  and  6:30,  I  read  the  mail.  I  read 
the  "action"  first,  then  I  organize  it  or  priori- 
tize it  so  that  I  can  take  it  home  to  work  on. 
Somewhere  around  7:00  (that  is  if  I  don't 
have  a  dinner  to  go  to  or  some  other  func- 
tion to  attend,  which  during  the  academic 
year  averages  about  three  times  a  week)  I  go 
home  to  eat  dinner,  but  the  day  is  usually  so 
hectic  that  I  can't  sit  down  really  to  eat  until 
eight  or  eight-thirty  at  night.  If  I  were  a 
drinking  person  I'd  probably  have  several 
drinks  before  dinner,  but  that's  not  going  to 
help  because  after  dinner  I  still  have  more 
office  work  to  do.  In  that  hour  before  dinner 
I  sometimes  help  my  thirteen  year  old  with 
his  math  homework,  and  talk  to  my  seven- 
teen year  old  concerning  whatever  he  has 
that's  a  problem  for  him.  After  dinner  I  go  to 
my  office  at  the  house,  initiate  or  receive 
telephone  calls,  and  then  continue  working 
on  my  mail  until  11:00  p.m.  By  then  I  gener- 
ally find  that  I  can't  go  straight  to  bed  be- 
cause my  adrenalin  flow  is  too  high,  I  am 
wide  awake.  So  I  sit  around  and  talk  or  read 
myself  to  sleep.  It  is  during  this  time  that  I 
usually  try  to  keep  up  with  my  geology  and 
geophysics  by  reading  my  journals. 

"I  do  all  of  the  grocery  shopping  for  the 
family.  I  go  to  Stop  &  Shop  on  Saturday 
mornings.  Not  only  is  it  therapeutic  because 
it  is  so  different  from  my  normal  weekday 
routine,  but  in  addition  I  get  to  meet  a  lot  of 
people.  I  can  talk  to  people  over  vegetables 
or  the  meat  counters.  It's  where  I  hear  things 
and  get  feedback  from  campus  that  I  can't 
get  in  any  other  way  or  place.  I  meet  stu- 
dents, faculty  members,  physical  plant  peo- 
ple; in  fact,  one  of  the  neat  things  about  the 
market  is  that  it  is  the  only  time  when  these 
conversations  may  include  "You've  done  a 
good  job."  That  makes  my  week.  I  can  then 
go  back  to  my  required  social  function  on 
Saturday  night,  Sunday  afternoon,  the  week- 
end decisions,  and  return  to  the  office  on 
Monday  morning  thinking  that  maybe  it  is 
worthwhile  after  all."

index:  //  "turbulent"  is  an  accurate 
description  of  campus  life  in  the  1 960s,  how 
would  you  characterize  the  1970s? 

McBee:  The  70s  in  higher  education  might 
be  termed  a  return  to  reality.  Included  might 
be  the  realization  that:  no  university  can  be 
all  things  to  all  people;  the  growth  of  the  60s 
is  waning;  the  increasing  financial  support  no 
longer  flows  automatically;  higher  education 
institutions  must  also  be  accountable;  a 
degree  is  no  longer  synonymous  with  a  job; 
the  members  of  the  higher  education 
community  cannot  solve  the  problems  of  the 
world;  the  credibility  of  higher  education 
with  the  public  is  not  assured 

index:  Do  you  feel  that  the  Vietnam  and 
Watergate  eras  have  had  an  adverse  or 
positive  effect  on  education  as  a  whole? 
Does  increasing  cynicism  seem  to  follow 
these  events?  And  if  so,  what  is  the  effect? 

Allen:  These  events  had  an  adverse  effect 
on  the  education  system.  (As  educators)  we 
saw  a  deterioration  in  the  quality  of  thought, 
and  the  use  of  slogans  as  substitutions  for 
thought. 

Woodbury:  In  the  long  run,  Vietnam  and 
Watergate  probably  had  a  healthy  impact 
upon  the  American  consciousness.  The 
historical  sense  of  omnipotence  and 
"goodness"  deserve  a  healthy  redress.  The 
arrogance  of  power  and  righteousness  is  not 
a  healthy  aspect  of  any  nation's  national 
character.  The  experience  of  Vietnam  and 
Watergate,  while  breeders  of  cynicism, 
made  us  more  conscious  of  both  our 
limitations  and  our  flaws. 


index:  It  has  been  said  that  due  to  a  stron- 
ger student  influence  on  curriculum  there 
has  been  a  shift  away  from  the  fundamental 
skills  in  education.  Do  you  feel  that  Har- 
vard's move  back  to  core  requirements  is 
indicative  of  a  return  to  fundamentals? 

McBee:  Curricular  requirements  periodical- 
ly experience  cycles  of  emphases  with  re- 
gard to  fundamentals.  Regardless  of  these 
shifts,  the  fundamental  objective  of  a  univer- 
sity is  the  growth,  as  human  beings,  of  all 
who  participate  in  its  processes.  Most  institu- 
tions of  higher  learning  are  dedicated  to  the 
total  development  of  the  individual  student. 
This  means  providing  the  opportunity  for 
students  to  gain  the  skills  and  knowledge 
required  for  a  successful  and  satisfying  ca- 
reer, while  at  the  same  time  maintaining  a 
dedication  to  the  concept  of  a  liberal  educa- 
tion, enabling  people  to  achieve  a  clearer 
understanding  of  themselves  and  their  place 
in  society  and  their  relationships  with  fellow 
human  beings. 

index:  Are  students  more,  or  less,  career 
oriented  now  than  a  decade  ago?  In  other 
words,  is  there  a  stronger  emphasis  on  "get- 
ting a  job"  rather  than  just  being  educated? 

Woodbury:  I  suspect  that  students  have 
always  been  concerned  about  their  careers 
after  graduation,  but  that  concern  becomes 
intensified  when  market  conditions  are  less 
favorable.  For  the  first  time  since  the  1930s 
college  graduates  arc  not  assured  of  the  kind 
of  favorable  job  market  that  was  true  for 
three  decades.  But  if  most  students  arc  con- 
cerned about  jobs,  I  think  they  are  also  con- 
cerned about  many  other  aspects  of  living 
and  thinking. 


index:  Do  you  feel  that  budget  constraints 
have  had  an  adverse  effect  on  the  quality  of 
education  at  UMass?  How  has  it  affected  the 
students?  Faculty? 

Allen:  The  budget  cuts  have  been  felt 
throughout  this  campus.  The  situation  has 
impaired  faculty  moral;  created  higher  stu- 
dent-faculty ratios  in  the  classrooms;  and  a 
deterioration  of  equipment.  Overall  there 
has  been  a  "watering  of  the  soup". 

index:  What  is  the  academic  reputation  of 
UMass/Amherst  with  prospective  employ- 
ers and  professional  schools?  How  does  this 
reputation  compare  with  other  state  univer- 
sities? Is  this  reputation  improving? 

Woodbury:  The  reputation  of  the  Universi- 
ty of  Massachusetts  is  directly  related  to  the 
distance  of  the  observer  from  Boston.  The 
University  is  extremely  highly  regarded  out- 
side the  state  of  Massachusetts.  Some  of  this 
reputation  has  begun  to  seep  into  Massachu- 
setts. Several  years  ago  Professor  David 
Reissman,  the  distinguished  Harvard  profes- 
sor, observed  that  if  UMass/Amherst  was 
located  in  any  other  state  it  would  be  regard- 
ed as  one  of  the  superior  institutions  in  the 
United  States.  The  fact  that  it  is  located  in 
Massachusetts  under  the  shadow  of  Har- 
vard, MIT,  and  other  private  institutions  has 
given  it  the  reputation  within  the  Common- 
wealth that  bears  no  relationship  to  its  true 
quality.  But  I  do  think  that  image  is  chang- 
ing.

William  Field 


William  Tunis 


Teacher,  counselor,  administrator  —  Wil- 
liam Field  is  all  these,  and  more  too. 

Field  is  the  Dean  of  Students  at  UMass, 
and  the  only  one  the  University  has  ever 
had. 

Back  in  the  60s,  when  UMass  was  growing 
by  leaps  and  bounds,  there  were  seperate 
deans  for  men  and  women.  But  University 
President  John  Lederle  wanted  someone 
who  could  handle  everything  in  student  af- 
fairs. So  Lederle  turned  to  Field,  who  at  the 
time  was  an  assistant  professor  of  psycholo- 
gy. Before  that  Field  had  been  the  director 
of  guidance. 

Although  he  never  intended  to  be  an  ad- 
ministrator (he  started  off  planning  to  be  a 
secondary  school  science  teacher).  Field 
took  the  job  as  Dean  of  Students  in  1961 
because  he  felt  he  had  a  lot  of  skills  which 
were  useful  to  the  University  during  its  peri- 
od of  tremendous  growth.  He  also  wanted 
there  to  be  some  way  for  people  to  get  used 
to  an  expanding  campus. 

As  Decin  of  Students,  Field  does  "any- 
thing that  doesn't  get  done  by  the  bureauc- 
racy of  the  University."  This  can  include 
discipline  cases,  human  relations  training, 
and  handling  various  other  student  crisiscs. 
"You  can't  categorize  things,  though,"  said 
Field.  "Students  come  in  here  asking  about 
anything  such  as  what  to  do  if  they  got  their 
car  towed,  or  if  they  got  a  bad  roommate." 

Field  actually  has  a  dual  role,  as  Dean  of 
Students  and  as  a  worker  in  Student  Affairs. 
"It's  a  coordinating  job,"  he  said. 

Some  of  the  other  things  Field  has  done 
since  coming  to  the  University  in  1951  in- 
clude starting  the  summer  counseling  pro- 
gram for  incoming  students,  which  was  the 
first  such  program  in  the  East,  and  establish- 
ing the  University  Health  Services.  When  he 
became  Dean  of  Students,  the  University 
had  only  two  physicians  for  the  entire  stu- 
dent body.  "The  Health  Service  we  have 
now  has  turned  out  to  be  one  of  the  best  in 


the  country." 

One  of  his  current  projects  is  trying  to  get 
rid  of  the  University's  mandatory  housing 
requirement  and  make  it  a  voluntary  one. 

Field  hasn't  left  teaching  entirely,  either. 
He  still  works  with  graduate  students,  par- 
ticularly in  the  School  of  Education.  "1  like 
to  keep  in  contact  with  students,"  he  said. 
"It's  important  to  be  accessible."  Field  also 
feels  that  teaching  has  given  him  more  per- 
spective about  why  things  operate  the  way 
they  do  at  the  University. 

Field  jokingly  refers  to  himself  as  the 
"resident  historian"  of  the  University,  but 
with  good  reason.  In  the  27  years  here  since 
completing  his  studies  at  Temple  and  at  the 
University  of  Maryland,  Field  has  seen  an 
incredible  amount  of  change.  In  fact,  the 
building  where  he  works  now  (Whitmore) 
used  to  be  the  old  football  field. 

When  he  arrived  in  the  50's,  UMass  was 
predominantly  attended  by  males,  most  of 
whom  were  veterans  and  studying  arts  and 
sciences.  Women  had  higher  standards  for 
admission,  and  there  were  curfews  at  night. 

All  that  changed  in  the  60s  however,  with 
the  arrival  of  the  students  from  the  years  of 
the  baby  boom.  The  University  opened  up 
three  or  four  new  dorms  a  year,  and  there 
was  incredible  pressure  to  get  new  buildings 
built.  "You  couldn't  look  around  and  not  see 
building,"  Field  recalled.  The  school  grew  by 
1300  students  a  year  and  departments  were 
continually  doubling  in  size  and  new  ones 
were  being  added  every  year.  The  percent- 
age of  women  at  the  University  went  from 
30  to  48,  thanks  to  Field,  and  dorms  went 
co-ed. 

Both  the  students  and  faculty  have 
changed  here,  said  Field.  "The  whole  Uni- 
versity has  became  more  open  and  casual. 
It's  a  more  interesting  place,  and  fun  to  work 
in,  too. 

"The  smallness  of  the  University  used  to 
restrict  things.  Students  were  less  inclined  to 


pursue  specialties.  Changing  the  University 
has  made  it  possible  for  students  to  change." 
Field  said  the  University  should  stay  close  to 
the  size  it  is  now,  however.

William  Tunis  has  been  the  Dean  of 
Admission  and  Records  at  UMass  since 
1963.  But  like  many  others  who  have 
decided  to  try  something  different  after 
working  in  the  same  job  for  a  while,  1978 
marks  the  end  of  his  fifteen  year  career  in 
that  position.  But  Dean  Tunis  will  not  be 
leaving  UMass,  he  will  just  be  crossing  the 
campus  to  fulfill  his  new  duties.  Now  he 
will  return  to  teaching  and  counseling  stu- 
dents in  the  College  of  Food  and  Natural 
Resources,  where  he  is  a  tenured  profes- 
sor of  entomology.  "I've  put  in  fifteen 
years  as  Dean  of  Admissions  and  I'm  es- 
sentially making  a  mid-life  career 
change,"  he  said. 

Dean  Tunis  estimated  that  he  had  ad- 
mitted some  75,000  students  to  the  Uni- 
versity since  he  became  Dean  of  Admis- 
sions. In  those  days,  he  said,  the  Universi- 
ty had  such  a  flood  of  applicants  that  he 
was  jokingly  called  "Dean  of  Rejections" 
by  a  colleague. 

The  flood  of  applications  to  colleges 
and  universities  has  since  diminished,  but 
Dean  Tunis  does  not  foresee  "any  great 
problem  in  the  future"  maintaining  enroll- 
ment at  UMass.  The  University  will  con- 
tinue to  attract  good  students,  he  predict- 
ed, because  of  the  connection  it  has  with 
the  Five  Colleges. 

Looking  back  on  his  career  as  Dean  of 
Admissions,  Dean  Tunis  said,  "It  has  been 
a  fun  thing,  working  with  a  lot  of  nice 
people.  It  has  been  a  very  rewarding  ex- 
perience. I  hope  in  some  small  way  I  have 
contributed  to  the  University".

Deans 


Mario  D.  Fantini  accepted  a  challenge 
when  he  became  Dean  of  tlie  School  of 

Education  in  January  1977:  "Could  I  come 
and  work  our  way  through  a  very  difficult 
transitional  period,  keeping  what's  good 
about  the  school  and  being  self-corrective  at 
the  same  time?"  After  a  year  of  review  and 
reorganization,  Fantini  said  he  is  "reason- 
ably optimistic"  that  that  is  being  done. 

The  school  had  to  clarify  its  mission  as  a 
graduate-oriented  professional  school,  dedi- 
cated to  updating  the  skills  of  teachers  al- 
ready in  the  field,  Fantini  said.  There  is 
clearly  an  emphasis  on  graduate  instruction, 
with  1,158  graduate  students  and  651  un- 
dergraduates enrolled  in  the  fall  of  1977. 
Five  years  ago  when  the  emphasis  was  on 
"pre-servicc"  training,  there  were  about 
1,800  undergraduates. 

The  school's  program  was  reorganized 
from  five  clusters  to  three  divisions,  an  "ex- 
tremely important"  one  being  Human  Ser- 
vices, or  the  concept  of  dealing  with  people 
"outside  the  four  walls  of  the  school.  This  is 
an  area  that  in  the  next  couple  of  decades 
will  receive  increasing  attention,  and  to  have 
it  done  within  a  professional  school,  i  think, 
is  important." 


When  students  graduating  from  UMass  in 
1978  were  finishing  high  school,  guidance 
counselors  cautioned  them  about  going  into 
engineering  because  of  the  glut  of  engineers 
on  the  job  market.  But  some  just  wouldn't 
listen,  and  according  to  Russcl  C.  Jones, 
Dean  of  the  School  of  Engineering,  it's 
lucky  for  those  that  didn't.  "Our  students 
are  currently  getting  multiple  offers,  three 
offers,  four  offers,  per  person.  Engineering 
is  a  cyclic  field;  we  very  much  follow  the 
economy  and  when  the  economy  is  up,  job 
offers  are  up,  and  lots  of  students  flock  in  to 
us.  That's  where  we  are  right  now.  We  hap- 


pen to  be  having  a  heyday  for  the  past  few 
years,  and  my  guess  is  it  will  last  for  some 
years  yet  to  come." 

Jones,  in  his  first  year  at  UMass,  has  con- 
centrated on  the  internal  organization  of  the 
school,  which  has  five  departments,  and  he 
will  continue  to  do  so  before  emphasizing 
contacts  with  state  and  national  industries 
and  agencies.  "My  perception  as  I  came 
here  was  that  I  should  spend  more  of  my 
time  inside  to  get  the  school  functioning  well 
and  get  the  administrative  systems  work- 
ing." 


Ross  S.  Whaley,  Dean  of  the  College 
of  Food  and  Natural  Resources,  believes 
the  college  in  1978  reflects  the  interest  in 
the  environment  and  the  "back  to  the  land" 
movement  prevalent  since  the  late  60s.  "It's 
politically  a  good  time  for  us.  The  general 
citizenry  is  concerned  about  environmental 
problems."  That  concern,  he  said,  has 
brought  with  it  a  change  in  the  student  de- 
mography. 

The  time  when  the  school  was  almost  ex- 
clusively filled  with  the  sons  and  daughters 
of  farmers  has  passed.  "The  population  has 
changed  remarkably.  Our  population  today 
is  basically  urban  students  who  want  to 

get  involved,  not  just  in  the  social  activism 
realm,  that  too,  but  also  in  the  realm  of  'I 
want  to  devote  my  life,  in  a  professional 
sense,  to  the  saving  of  the  environment," 
said  Whaley. 

Another  trend  in  the  college,  Whaley  said, 
is  the  rising  percentage  of  women  enrolled  in 
its  programs.  About  half  the  students  in 
Landscape  Architecture  and  Regional  Plan- 
ning are  women,  he  said,  as  are  at  least  40% 
of  the  students  in  the  departments  of  Forest- 
ry and  Veterinary  and  Animal  Sciences. 


Eugene  B.  Piedmont,  Acting  Dean  of 
the  Graduate  School,  said  the  school  in 
1978  is  seeking  recognition  as  Massachu- 
sett's  primary  site  for  graduate  instruction. 
"We  feel  very  strongly  on  this  campus, 
knowing  what  the  quality  of  faculty  is,  that 


this  is  the  major  place  for  the  state  as  a 
whole  in  public  education  where  graduate 
work  and  research  ought  to  be  done,"  Pied- 
mont said. 

Piedmont  came  to  UMass  in  1965  as  a 
Professor  of  Sociology  and  was  appointed 
Associate  Dean  for  Academic  Affairs  in  the 
Graduate  School  in  1972.  As  acting  Dean  he 
is  responsible  for  monitoring  the  quality  of 
the  about  fifty-eight  graduate  programs,  and 
for  developing  and  implementing  research 
on  campus. 

The  school  is  trying  to  increase  the  non- 
state,  research  monies  coming  in.  Piedmont 
said.  "Right  now,  it's  about  $12  to  $13  bil- 
lion, which  isn't  an  awful  lot  for  a  University 
of  this  size." 


William  Darity  has  been  Dean  of  the 
University's  youngest  school  —  the  School 
of  Health  Sciences  —  since  its  inception 
in  1973.  The  school  comprises  three  divi- 
sions: Nursing,  Public  Health,  and  Communi- 
cation Disorders. 

The  program  at  UMass  is,  in  some  as- 
pects, unique.  "Our  school  has  a  much  more 
rigid  curriculum,"  Darity  said.  For  example, 
it  requires  that  students  concentrate  a  lot 
more  in  quantitative  sciences.  "Students  in 
Public  Health  particularly  have  to  do  an  em- 
pirical research  thesis,  and  also  field  training. 
Other  schools  don't  require  these." 

Nursing  was  an  independent  program 
when  it  combined  to  form  the  School  of 
Health  Sciences  five  years  ago.  Communica- 
tion Disorders  left  the  Communication  stud- 
ies program  to  join  the  school  in  1974. 

Nursing,  however,  might  be  going  inde- 
pendent again.  Nursing  is  clinically  oriented 
"much  more  kin  to  medicine  than  the  other 
two  divisions  in  the  school"  and  by  becoming 
an  independent  school  would  be  better  able 
to  recruit  faculty,  improve  its  affiliation  with 
the  UMass-Worcester  medical  school,  and 
overall  become  a  better  program.

Dean  of  the  School  of  Humanities  and

Dean  Wolf 


Dean  Wilkinson 


Fine  Arts  in  February  of  1978.  He  was 
appointed  by  the  Acting  Provost,  and  an 
Acting  Chairperson  was  appointed  to  fill  the 
vacancy  Noland  left  as  head  of  the  English 
Department.  At  a  time  when  there  is  an 
Acting  President  and  a  number  of  Acting 
Deans,  the  circumstances  surrounding  No- 
land's  appointment  are  not  that  unusual. 
"Actually,  that's  something  that  badly  needs 
settling  around  this  campus.  This  'acting' 
situation  needs  to  be  clarified,"  Noland  said. 

But  until  it  is,  he  will  carry  on  some  of  the 
policies  of  his  predecessor,  and  now  Acting 
Provost,  Jeremiah  M.  Allen.  "There  are 
some  things  he  had  wanted,  and  which  I 
would  want  in  terms  of  making  sure  that  the 
fine  arts  element  is  well  developed,"  said 
Noland. 

The  theatre,  music,  and  studio  arts  de- 
partments need  to  be  supported  and  further 
developed,  Noland  suggested.  "This  ought 
to  be  a  fine  arts  center  which  is  nationally 
known  and  has  high  quality  performances, 
and  should  benefit  the  entire  western  part  of 
the  state." 


students.  It's  not  only  reflected  in  the  course 
work,  but  in  the  doors  it  opens  for  students, 
once  they  graduate." 


Seymour  Shapiro,  Dean  of  the 
School  of  Natural  Sciences  and  Math, 

has  been  active  in  the  administration  of  the 
College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  since  1964, 
and  was  its  last  Dean  before  the  College  split 
into  three  schools.  "I  developed  the  propos- 
al, with  a  lot  of  faculty  help,  for  the  separa- 
tion," said  Shapiro.  "Students  didn't  see 
very  much  change,  but  we  now  have  three 
deans  and  the  workload  is  more  manage- 
able." 

Two  programs  have  added  to  the  attracti- 
veness of  the  school  since  the  early  70s,  and 
have  grown  into  "superb"  departments  — 
Computer  and  Information  Science  (COINS) 
and  Polymer  Science  and  Engineering.  The 
possibility  of  a  graduate  program  in  neuro- 
science  is  also  being  explored,  Shapiro  said. 

"In  the  past  ten  years  the  recognition  that 
has  come  to  every  one  of  our  departments 
has  been  enormous.  And  there's  a  very  di- 
rect payoff  on  this  to  the  undergraduate 


David  C.  Bischoff  left  Whitmore  Ad- 
ministration Building  in  1978  to  spend  all  his 
time  in  the  Boyden  Athletic  Building  as 
Dean  of  the  School  of  Physical  Educa- 
tion. In  late  January,  he  handed  in  his  resig- 
nation as  Associate  Provost,  a  position  he 
held  for  seven  years,  and  was  dean  for  six  of 
those  years.  "I  find  myself  having  a  very 
great  deal  to  do  when  I'm  down  here  and 
wonder  how  I  was  able  to  handle  both 
(jobs),"  Bischoff  said,  "but  I'm  sure  that  I 
gave  this  job  short  shrift." 

An  issue  he  said  that  needs  much  atten- 
tion is  the  equality  of  men's  and  women's 
sports.  "All  of  a  sudden  we  have  a  group 
who  legitimately  need  and  want  high  level 
athletic  experiences.  The  goal  is  not  wom- 
en's sports  at  the  expense  of  men's  sports, 
but  that  women  have  an  equal  chance  for 
participation." 

Bischoff  maintained  that  because  of  the 
nature  of  the  departments  in  the  school  — 
Athletics,  Exercise  Science,  Professional 
Education  in  Physical  Education,  and  Sports 
Studies  —  it  is  a  "fun"  place  to  be.  "I  think 
people  in  Physical  Education  and  Athletics 
tend  to  be  very  happy  and  they  can  see 
measurably  what  they've  done." 

"The  school  doesn't  see  itself  as  an  eight 
to  five  operation,  five  days  a  week,"  he  said, 
adding  that  a  major  mission  of  the  school  is 
to  keep  its  facilities  open  for  participatory 
athletic  use  for  the  various  intramural  and 
instructional  programs. 


meaning  that  we've  had  to  limit  the  number 
of  freshman  and  the  number  of  transfer  stu- 
dents that  can  get  into  this  school,  because 
the  numbers  were  going  through  the  roof 
and  the  quality  of  the  programs  was  going  to 
drop." 

Wolf,  who  was  the  school's  Associate 
Dean  for  two  years,  before  George  S. 
Odiorne  resigned  in  1977  said  that  he  felt 
the  school  should  reach  out  more,  "  in 
effect  work  out  means  of  cooperating  with 
units  like  engineering,  education,  sports  ad- 
ministration, the  area  of  arts  management 
because  I  think  the  school  that  has  an 
administrative  input  should  be  talking  to 
people  other  than  business  organizations 
about  management,  about  organization, 
about  lots  of  things  that  students  in  these 
other  areas  need." 


For  the  School  of  Business  Administra- 
tion there  has  been  no  problem  getting  stu- 
dents into  classes.  The  problem  has  been 
keeping  them  out,  according  to  Jack  S. 
Wolf,  Acting  Dean  of  the  school  since 
September  of  1977.  "We're  trying  to  ac- 
commodate as  many  students  as  we  can, 
even  though  the  pressures  are  with  us,"  he 
said.  "We've  been  managing  the  enrollment. 


There  has  been  much  analysis  during  the 
1970s  about  the  shift  in  student  enrollment 
away  from  the  arts  and  social  sciences  and 
toward  the  vocationally  oriented  schools. 
And  while  the  figures  certainly  support  the 
trend,  it  may  be  a  mistake  to  assume  that 
students  are  losing  interest  in  the  liberal  arts. 
"It's  much  too  simple,  much  too  catchy  a 
phrase  to  say  students  are  now  vocationally 
oriented,"  said  T.  O.  Wilkinson,  Dean  of 
the  School  of  Social  and  Behavioral 
Sciences.  "This  really  does  our  undergrad- 
uates a  disservice  —  to  say  that  everyone 
wants  to  be  either  a  CPA  or  an  engineer; 
that  nobody  wants  to  read  Shakespeare  any- 
more;that  nobody  wants  to  study  psychology 
anymore.  That's  simply  not  true.  What  is 
true  is  that  in  the  job  market  out  there, 
undergraduates,  I  think,  are  much  more 
keenly  sensitive  to  the  fact  that  you  have  to 
be  able  to  offer  some  skills  in  order  to  get  a 
job." 

Flexibility  is  important,  according  to  Wil- 
kinson. "You  can  still,  for  example  be  inter- 
ested in  anthrolopolgy,  psychology,  or  politi- 
cal science  but  you've  got  to  surround  that 
interest  with  some  specific  skills  and  as  much 
breadth  as  you  can  get."

"The  only  way  to  understand  anything  in 
the  world  is  to  understand  it  historically. 
Things  that  exist  now  are  a  result  of  a  pro- 
cess that  began  sometime  in  the  past,  and  in 
order  to  begin  to  understand  them,  one  has 
to  understand  the  process  and  alternatives 
that  people  have  had  in  the  past." 

This  belief  system  is  prosposed  by  Profes- 
sor John  Bracey,  Chairman  of  the  Afro- 
American  Studies  Department.  Professor 
Bracey  has  been  studying  history  since  his 
undergraduate  days  at  Howard  University 
and  through  his  graduate  work  at  North- 
western, and  teaches  it  at  UMass.  Some  of 
the  courses  which  he  teaches  are  Revolution 
in  the  Third  World,  the  Black  Church,  and 
Black  Sociological  Thought. 

In  his  courses,  Professor  Bracey  attempts 
to  make  his  students  do  a  lot  more  than  read 
—  he  makes  them  think.  "What  most  stu- 
dents can't  do  today  is  analyze  what  they 
read.  In  the  course  I  teach  on  revolution,  I 
spend  half  the  time  discussing  what  a  revolu- 
tion really  is." 

About  30%  of  the  students  taking  Afro- 
Am  courses  are  white;  Professor  Bracey  be- 
lieves that  this  is  one  way  in  which  racial 
tension  might  be  diminished  on  campus,  be- 
cause "given  the  situation  in  the  world  to- 
day, I  think  that  the  white  Americans  need 
to  know  as  much  as  possible  about  other 
people,  because  the  majority  of  the  world  is 
other  people.  The  history  of  America  is  not 
the  whole  history  of  the  world." 

In  addition  to  his  duties  as  Professor  and 
Chairman,  Professor  Bracey  is  on  the  Nomi- 
nating Board  of  American  Historians  and  is 
Vice-President  of  Internal  Affairs  for  the 
Massachusetts  Society  of  Professors.

When  Murray  Krim,  a  New  York  psychol- 
ogist who  specializes  in  neurotic  teachers, 
was  interviewed  by  New  York  Magazine, 
he  said  that  "many  teachers  experience  an- 
guish over  the  constant  give,  give,  give  re- 
quired from  them."  Another  source  of  anxi- 
ety among  Krim's  clients  is  "the  lack  of  op- 
portunities to  express  themselves  creatively 
on  the  job."  But  for  at  least  one  professor, 
UMass  does  not  harbor  any  of  these  restric- 
tions. Fern  Johnson  has  been  a  professor  in 
the  Communication  Studies  Department  for 
four  years,  but  does  not  exhibit  any  signs  of 
stress.  "Teaching  is  very  important  to  me;  I 
love  to  teach.  I  also  enjoy  my  studies,  but 
the  stimulation  I  get  from  teaching  gets  me 
going  on  other  things.  It's  probably  the  most 
fulfilling  thing  I  do." 

Fern's  students  said  that  they  enjoy  her 
classes  because  she  appreciates  their  individ- 
uality and  takes  a  real  interest  in  their  opin- 
ions. "I  like  to  establish  a  pretty  personal 
atmosphere  in  my  classes,  and  I  like  to  know 
who  my  students  are  —  I  don't  like  to  create 
distance  between  myself  and  my  students. 

"If  I  feel  any  frustration  on  the  job,  it's  not 
just  as  a  teacher,  but  it's  also  as  a  faculty 
member  —  with  the  meetings  and  other 
work  I  have,  I  just  have  no  free  time.  But  if  I 
ever  think  of  alternatives  to  teaching,  like 
going  into  business,  they  just  aren't  that  ex- 
citing. Teaching  provides  an  infinite  amount 
of  diversity.  I  know  that  every  three  and  a 
half  months  I'll  be  seeing  a  whole  new  set  of 
people,  with  a  new  set  of  challenges.  I  doubt 
I  would  ever  want  to  leave  the  profession,"

John  Hicks 


Joseph  Hartshorn 


"As  a  professor  of  literature,  I  would 
most  like  to  convey  the  joy  of  learning.  Not 
joy  in  the  over-simple,  superficial  sense. 
Rather  the  joy  that  comes  from  the  realiza- 
tion of  emotional  and  intellectual  potential- 
ity. The  joy  derived  from  sensitizing  eyes 
that  ccin  see,  ears  that  hear,  and  a  respon- 
sive mind  capable  of  sustained  attention. 
The  joy  of  moving  from  bewilderment  or 
boredom  or  fatigue  to  curiosity,  confidence, 
and  accomplishment."  This  is  how  Professor 
John  Hicks  conceives  his  role  as  an  instruc- 
tor in  the  English  Department.  Professor 
Hicks  shares  his  love  of  literature  not  only  in 
the  classroom,  but  at  The  Massachusetts 
Review,  a  fine  arts  magazine  published  on 
this  ccimpus.  He  has  been  one  of  its  editors 
since  1960. 

Professor  Hicks  did  his  undergraduate 
work  at  Middlebury  College  in  Vermont,  and 
his  graduate  work  at  Harvard  and  Boston 
University.  Before  coming  to  UMass,  he 
taught  at  Tufts  and  Wesleyan.  He  noted  that 
"On  the  basis  of  my  specific  experience,  I 
would  say  that  students  at  private  colleges 
are  often  more  confident  —  about  them- 
selves personally,  and  about  their  institu- 
tions. Students  at  UMass,  for  example,  often 
suffer  enormous  inferiority  complexes  about 
themselves  and  the  university.  Life  for  pub- 
lic school  students  is  simply  very  often  more 
uncertain,  less  secure,  less  coherent  than  it  is 
for  their  counterparts  in  private  institutions. 
And  the  general  public  reputation  of  UMass 
still  lags  considerably  behind  the  quality  it 
has  actually  achieved  .  But  there  is  real- 
ly much  to  be  proud  of  here.  I  hope  for  a 
more  intensely  growing  sense  of  common 
purpose  cind  self-respect  among  faculty,  stu- 
dents, and  administration.  It  is  really  time  for 
that."

Did  you  ever  wonder  what  UMass  looked 
like  11,000  years  ago?  Joseph  Hartshorn 
could  tell  you.  In  fact,  he  could  tell  you  what 
ciny  part  of  Massachusetts  looked  like  during 
the  Ice  Age. 

Hartshorn  is  a  glacial  morphologist.  He 
has  been  teaching  glacicil  geology  here  since 
1967  as  a  professor  in  the  Department  of 
Geology  and  Geography.  Before  coming 
here.  Hartshorn  worked  with  the  U.S.  Geo- 
logical Survey  in  Boston  for  seventeen  years 
after  completing  his  studies  at  Harvard. 
While  working  with  the  Survey,  Hartshorn 
met  a  friend  who  also  came  here,  but  "went 
a  lot  further.  His  name  is  Chancellor  Bro- 
mery,"  he  said. 

Hartshorn  has  also  had  a  distinguished 
career  at  the  University.  He  served  as  head 
of  the  Department  of  Geology  and  Geogra- 
phy from  1970  to  1977.  His  Geology  106 
course,  Face  of  the  Earth,  attracts  as  many 
as  300  students  a  semester,  and  always  re- 
ceives good  evaulations. 

Hartshorn  likes  having  students  because 
he  says  they  keep  pushing  him.  "They  all 
bring  in  new  spirit  and  enthusiasm." 

Some  of  the  things  his  students  have 
pushed  him  into  are  hang  gliding  and  par- 
achuting. 

Hartshorn  also  likes  his  colleagues  here, 
despite  the  fact  that  they  keep  teasing  him 
about  looking  like  a  "sexy  walrus." 

Hartshorn  does  more  than  just  teach  geol- 
ogy. He  just  finished  a  term  as  Chairman  of 
the  New  England  section  of  the  Geological 
Society  of  America.  Now  he  is  a  member  of 
the  Chcincellor's  Committee  on  Equality  of 
Scilaries  for  Women  Professors  and  the  Fac- 
ulty of  Math  and  Natural  Sciences  Personnel 
Policy  Committee.

John  Lederle 


From  1960  to  1970,  John  Lederle  served 
as  the  fifteenth  president  of  the  University  of 
Massachusetts.  During  this  time,  he  helped 
its  progression  from  small  (5,873)  to  large 
(19,367),  from  one  campus  to  three,  from 
adequacy  to  excellency,  and  from  its  first 
century  to  its  second. 

Professor  Lederle  considers  it  a  privilege 
to  have  been  the  University's  President  dur- 
ing such  a  dynamic  and  challenging  period, 
but  now  at  age  sixty-five,  he  is  back  to  doing 
what  he  wants  —  teach.  "It  was  fun,"  re- 
flected Lederle,  "but  I  got  removed  from 
students.  I'm  glad  I'm  back  to  dealing  with 
ideas  and  youth.  Students  are  our  reason  for 
being." 

Professor  Lederle  received  his  law  degree 
and  later  his  Ph.D.  from  Michigan,  which  he 
calls  the  "union  card,"  and  began  teaching 
at  Brown  University.  He  soon  got  diverted 
into  administration,  and  became  Assistant 
Dean  there.  Then  he  was  invited  back  to 
Michigan,  where  he  rose  to  directorship  of 
their  Institute  of  Public  Administration. 

From  Michigan,  he  got  the  offer  to  be- 
come president  here,  which  doesn't  happen 
to  outsiders  often. 

Lederle  still  uses  his  legal  knowledge  since 
leaving  regular  practice,  however.  He  is  an 
honorary  member  of  the  Michigan  Municipal 
League  and  has  worked  on  the  campaign 
expenditure  study  committees  for  the  Sen- 
ate and  House.  He's  been  in  Who's  Who 
since  1950. 

Lederle's  record  in  public  administration 
is  equally  impressive.  He  belongs  to  both  the 
American  Political  Science  Association  and 
the  American  Society  of  Public  Administra- 
tion. He  has  developed  public  administration 
programs  in  Manilla  and  Formosa. 


Ellen  Davis 


Ronald  Mannino 


What's  the  first  image  you  think  of  when 
you  see  the  words  "Accounting  Professor"? 
If  it's  Brooks  Brothers  suits  and  sharp  pen- 
cils you  may  be  right  unless  you  know 
Ronald  Mannino. 

Professor  Mannino  has  taught  manage- 
ment accounting  courses  at  UMass  for  the 
last  four  years.  "I  teach  a  little  different 
course  material  here  at  UMass.  The  majority 
of  accounting  programs  arc  directed  to- 
wards careers  in  public  accounting  and  I 
teach  basically  for  careers  in  nonpublic  ac- 
counting —  the  role  of  an  accountant  work- 
ing in  an  organization  if  he's  not  going  to  be 

an  auditor." 

Mannino  said  he  became  a  professor  be- 
cause "you  can  do  two  things  when  you 
teach  that  you  can't  do  in  other  jobs.  You 
can  be  a  professional  but  at  the  same  time 
you  can  have  fun  by  dealing  with  people  that 
aren't  professional." 

One  of  the  nicest  things  that  has  hap- 
pened to  him  while  he  has  been  at  UMass 
was  at  Las  Vegas  Night  when  someone  en- 
tered his  pictured  in  the  "cutest"  contest, 
where  voters  cast  their  votes  for  a  penny  a 
piece.  Mannino  remembers  that  he  was  run- 
ning against  a  dog,  a  male  majorette,  and 
four  women.  "I  think  I  got  something  like 
$40  in  pennies,  which  is  very  good  and 

all  for  charity,"  joked  Mannino. 

In  his  courses,  he  tries  to  instill  in  his 
students  his  educational  philosophy  -  "an 
accountant  has  to  be  more  than  an  accoun- 
tant to  be  effective  in  a  business  situation. 
You  have  to  know  a  little  about  the  business 
you  are  in." 

Reflecting  upon  the  negative  stereotype 
of  accountants,  Mannino  remarks,  "Every 
accountant  that  I  know  is  an  interesting  per- 
son I  don't  know  that  many  accountants 
though."

Masha  Rudman 


Masha  Rudman  works  full  time  as  a  moth- 
er of  three  as  well  as  an  associate  professor 
in  the  school  of  education  at  UMass.  She 
was,  in  fact,  the  sole  supporter  of  her  family 
for  eight  years  while  her  husband  finished  his 
education. 

Rudman  has  won  numerous  awards  in  her 
twenty  five  years  as  an  educator  including 
the  Distinguished  Teacher  Award  in  1972. 
She  was  also  included  in  this  year's  World 
Who's  Who  of  Women  in  Education. 

Rudman  graduated  from  Hunter  College 
in  New  York  in  1953  and  went  to  work  as  a 
teacher  in  the  New  York  City  school  system. 
She  worked  with  culturally  disadvantaged, 
non-English  speaking,  and  emotionally  dis- 
trubed  children.  While  working,  she  got  her 
master's  degree,  also  from  Hunter  College, 
in  1957. 

She  came  to  UMass  in  1966  to  review 
children's  books  for  WFCR,  a  position  she 
held  for  the  next  four  years.  Rudman  also 
headed  a  summer  program  for  disadvan- 
taged high  school  students  and  founded  the 
Learning  Theater  at  the  School  of  Educa- 
tion. She  got  her  Ph.D.  in  1970  from  UMass. 

A  lot  of  the  credit  for  her  success  goes  to 
her  parents  according  to  Rudman.  "My  par- 
ents never  contradicted  a  thought.  We  were 
brought  up  to  be  open  and  honest.  They  had 
a  terrific  impact  on  my  life." 

Besides  teaching  courses  in  subjects  like 
curriculum  construction,  reading,  language 
arts,  and  open  education,  Rudman  is  co- 
director  of  the  Integrated  Day  Program 
which  is  a  preservice/inservice  teacher  edu- 
cation program  and  a  consultant  to  depart- 
ments of  education  and  schools  across  the 
country.  She  also  edits  IN  Touch,  a  maga- 
zine devoted  to  open  education.

Ernest  Lindsey 


Ernest  Lindscy's  memories  of  twenty-nine 
years  at  UMass  range  from  an  old  garage 
through  three  years  as  Dean  of  Engineering 
to  his  present  work  in  waste  treatment.  "I 
first  came  here  in  1949  to  help  start  the 
department.  There  were  just  two  professors 
and  twenty  students  in  the  department," 
Lindsey  remembered. 

After  getting  a  bachelor's  degree  from 
Georgia  Tech  and  a  Ph.D.  from  Yale,  Lind- 
sey went  to  work  for  an  oil  company  for  a 
couple  of  years.  **I  went  back  to  Yale  to  do 
some  research  after  that  and  then  served  in 
the  Navy  for  two  years." 

Lindsey  has  seen  the  department  grow 
from  twenty  students  to  its  present  size  of 
about  175.  He  also  helped  plan  Goessman 
Lab,  which  the  department  moved  into  in 
1959. 

In  1963,  Lindsey  became  acting  Dean  of 
Engineering,  'it  was  a  busy  time.  We  were 
enlarging  the  school,  adding  new  faculty, 
students,  and  buildings.  Engineering  East 
was  opened  back  then." 

Lindsey  said  he  enjoyed  being  Dean,  but 
was  happy  to  turn  the  job  over  to  someone 
else  in  1966  and  get  back  to  teaching  and 
research.  *i  decided  back  then  to  specialize 
in  waste  treatment  rather  than  finding  new 
plastics  for  someone  to  crunch  up." 

Lindsey  said  the  biggest  change  in  the 
department  is  the  number  of  women. 
"About  20%  of  the  students  are  women. 
Ten  years  ago  we  had  maybe  one  or  two 
women.  It's  a  great  increase." 

Lindsey  isn't  sure  where  the  department 
ranks  nationally  but  thinks  it  "compares 
pretty  good  with  places  like  MIT,  Wisconsin, 
Michigan,  and  Ohio  State.  We're  certainly 
one  of  the  best  in  the  Northeast."

Ernest  Buck 


Back  when  "UMass  was  a  small,  quiet 
university  in  a  sleepy  cow  town",  Ernest 
Buck,  the  Dean  of  the  College  of  Agricul- 
ture, started  teaching  food  science  and  nutri- 
tion, back  in  1957. 

Despite  a  vigorous  schedule,  Buck  makes 
sure  he  has  time  to  enjoy  his  students.  "I  like 
to  get  to  know  my  students  personally.  I 
tend  to  make  friends  out  of  most  of  them." 
Buck  said  he  doesn^t  "believe  there  is  a 
generation  gap  because  I  admire  the  enthusi- 
asm and  idealism  of  youth.  I  also  enjoy  work- 
ing with  students  because  it  keeps  me 
young." 

Buck  feels  that  "people  in  the  United 
States  tend  to  overeat.  We  eat  too  many 
fatty  foods  and  foods  that  are  too  high  in 
sugar  when  there  should  be  a  balance  of 
these  things." 

Another  of  his  concerns  is  that  nutrition 
courses  aren't  offered  in  high  schools.  "We 
need  more  nutritional  education  at  an  earlier 
age  to  stress  the  importance  of  eating  intelli- 
gently." 

Buck  graduated  from  UConn  in  1955  with 
a  degree  in  Animal  Industries.  Two  years 
later  he  had  a  Master*s  degree  from  North 
Carolina  State.  He  got  his  Ph.D.  in  Food 
Science  and  Technology  from  UMass  in 
1966. 

Teaching  isn't  the  only  thing  that  occupies 
his  time  at  UMass.  He  is  currently  Director 
of  Undergraduate  Studies,  Honors  Coordin- 
ator, and  Chairman  of  the  Undergraduate 
Curriculum  Committee  of  the  Nutrition  De- 
partment. 


Gayle  Soper 


Bruce  Hoadley 


As  a  student,  Bruce  Hoadley  always 
looked  forward  to  the  day  when  he  would  be 
totally  away  from  schools.  Even  up  until  two 
months  before  completing  his  doctorate  at 
Yale,  whenver  anyone  asked  him  the  inevita- 
ble question  "What  are  you  going  to  do 
when  you  graduate?",  Hoadley  would  al- 
ways answer:  "I  don't  know,  anything  but 
teach." 

But  UMass  lured  Hoadley  away  from  oth- 
er prospects  and  for  fifteen  years  now  he 
has  been  teaching  wood  technology  in  the 
School  of  Forestry  and  Wildlife  Manage- 
ment. "If  there's  anything  that  has  helped 
me  to  be  a  better  teacher,  it  is  that  I'll  never 
forget  being  a  student,"  said  Hoadley.  "I've 
never  forgotten  the  kinds  of  feelings  one 
gets  on  the  other  side  of  the  desk." 

Hoadley  has  seen  one  of  his  classes.  Prop- 
erties of  Wood,  grow  from  an  enrollment  of 
four  students  to  one  of  thirty  during  this 
time.  His  other  class,  Wood  Anatomy,  has 
gone  from  twenty  to  110. 

He  has  also  noticed  a  definite  change  in 
the  students  here.  "They  have  gone  from  a 
group  of  very  obedient  students  who  rou- 
tinely accepted  the  drudgery  of  higher  edu- 
cation to  a  group  of  conscientious,  hard- 
working, alert,  increasingly  mature  students 
who  are  demanding  a  meaningful  education 
and  want  to  know  not  just  what  but  why,"  he 
said. 

If  Hoadley  could  leave  one  thought  with 
his  students,  it  would  be  that  education 
doesn't  stop  here.  "We  can  scarecely  teach 
a  person  in  1978  what  they  are  going  to 
need  for  success  in  1988,"  he  said.  "And 
education  to  me  is  learning  to  learn,  A  col- 
lege program  isn't  just  something  to  get 
through."

Salvatore  Dinardi 


During  the  summer  of  1978,  thirteen  Pub- 
lic Health  cind  Environmental  Science  stu- 
dents surveyed  children's  recreational 
camps  across  the  state.  This  group  was 
headed  by  UMass  professor  Salvatore  Din- 
ardi, who  felt  that  this  study  should  be  done 
because  "it  is  a  serious  kind  of  public  health 
survey  which  the  University  should  be  in- 
volved in." 

The  survey's  aim  was  to  determine  the 
impact  of  a  proposed  sanitary  code  that 
would  regulate  all  children's  recreational 
camps  in  the  state.  Only  two  camps  were 
ultimately  closed,  while  the  rest  of  the  490 
camps  were  notified  of  their  minor  viola- 
tions. "Recreational  camps  are  big  business 
in  the  state,  and  hopefully  all  camps  will 
become  a  safe  place  for  children,  if  they 
aren't  already  so,"  Dinardi  said. 

Professor  Dinardi  did  his  undergraduate 
work  at  Hofstra  University,  and  his  graduate 
work  at  SUNY  at  Stony  brook,  transfering  to 
UMass  in  1967.  He  received  his  Ph.D.  in 
Physiccd  Chemistry  here  in  1971,  and  was 
appointed  cin  assistant  professor  that  same 
year.  He  became  an  Associate  Professor  in 
1976,  and  is  presently  the  Chairman  of  the 
Environmental  Health  Program.  In  addition, 
Dinardi  teaches  several  courses,  among 
which  is  "Toxic  Substances  in  the  Work 
Place",  in  which  he  aneilyzes  chemicals  com- 
monly found  in  the  work  environment. 

Dinardi's  other  full  time  job  is  taking  care 
of  his  two  children.  After  working  on  cam- 
pus all  day,  he  goes  home  and  cleans  the 
house,  and  cooks,  which  is  one  of  his  favor- 
ite pastimes.  He  enjoys  relaxing  while  listen- 
ing to  quiet  music,  and  in  his  infrequent 
spare  time  does  woodworking. 


Donna  Scott 


Tunner  Brosky 


Tunner  Brosky  of  the  Physical  Education 
Department  grew  up  in  rural  Pennsylvania 
in  an  almost  improverishcd  situation.  "Be- 
cause I  was  poor  I  was  an  extremely  lucky 
person."  He  played  football  in  high  school, 
went  on  to  North  Carolina  for  undergrad- 
uate work,  and  completed  his  graduate  stud- 
ies at  Pennsylvania  State. 

Alternative  education  is  a  major  concern 
of  Professor  Brosky's.  His  Outdoor  Educa- 
tion course,  or  "Fun  in  the  Woods"  as  he 
and  the  students  call  it,  had  its  beginnings 
seven  years  ago  when  the  first  group  went 
into  the  woods  and  built  a  ropes  course. 
Brosky  listened  to  the  students  that  semes- 
ter. "They  very  plainly  told  me  what  we 
should  be  doing  down  there,  how  we  should 
be  doing  it  and  why."  Brosky  went  on  to 
create  something  that  satisfied  the  students 
needs  as  stated  by  the  students. 

"Fun  in  the  Woods"  is  personal  growth 
and  self-discovery.  "It's  healthy  to  learn 
about  yourself.  The  course  has  that  as  a 
focal  point."  Using  non-competitive  games 
the  students  learn  new  methods  of  physical 
education  teaching. 

Concerning  alternative  forms  of  educa- 
tion, "the  alternative  has  to  be  offered  as  the 
other  side  of  the  coin.  We  purport  to  have 
people  discover  in  a  PE  class  talking  about 
outdoor  programs.  Talking  has  got  to  be  the 
least  effective  form  of  learning  that  I  can 
think  of." 

In  addition  to  his  Outdoor  Education 
course,  Professlor  Brosky  teaches  a  section 
of  tennis/badminton,  is  responsible  for  the 
archery  classes,  and  has  a  strong  interest  in 
deep  sea  fishing.

Inquiry  ^roc^ram 


The  Inquiry  Program  is  a  learning  option 
for  first  and  second  year  students. 

For  some,  tlie  program  is  a  small  college 
within  a  large  university,  a  place  where  they 
can  get  to  know  faculty  and  fellow  students 
in  personal  as  well  as  intellectual  ways.  At 
the  same  time  it  gives  full  access  to  all  the 
resources  of  the  University  and  four  other 
colleges.  For  other  students,  the  program  is 
a  means  to  pursue  an  interest  in  depth  dur- 
ing the  first  two  years  without  having  to  wait 
until  becoming  a  junior  to  concentrate. 

The  program  offers  students  the  opportu- 
nity to  design  and  implement  their  own  plan 
of  study  with  the  advice  and  consent  of  a 
faculty  tutor.  Each  semester  students  negoti- 
ate an  individual  learning  contract  with  their 
tutors.  Because  the  program  has  its  origins 
in  a  living-learning  experiment,  students  are 
encouraged  to  include  more  than  their  for- 
mal academic  work  in  the  contracts.  It  is  not 
unusual,  for  instance,  to  see  contracts  that 
include  losing  weight,  learning  to  swim,  vol- 
unteer work  in  local  hospitals  and  schools, 
and  reading  lists  above  and  beyond  what  is 
required  by  courses.  At  the  end  of  each 
semester,  students  submit  a  self-evaulation 
to  their  tutors  as  the  first  step  in  planning  the 
next  semester.  The  contracts,  self-evalua- 
tions, and  tutor  evaluations  become  the  basis 
of  the  Learning  Portfolio,  what  might  be 
called  an  autobiography  of  two  year's  learn- 
ing and  growth. 

Most  students  choose  to  substitute  Modes 
of  Inquiry  seminars  for  the  distribution  re- 
quirements. The  program  is  called  Inquiry 
and  the  seminars,  Modes  of  Inquiry  to  em- 
phasize that  one  of  the  basic  goals  of  educa- 
tion is  to  provide  students  with  the  skills  and 
understanding  necessary  to  ask  good  ques- 
tions and  then  to  answer  them.  The  Modes 
Seminar  option  is  one  of  the  most  popular 
features  of  the  program  because  it  reduces 
the  number  of  required  courses  and  thereby 
makes  it  possible  for  first  and  second  year 
students  to  undertake  semester-long  pro- 
jects or  to  explore  subjects  in  a  new  and 
challenging  way. 

To  complete  the  program  and  achieve 
junior  standing,  students  submit  their  portfo- 
lios to  a  faculty  evaluating  committee  and 
convene  a  Celebration-Evaluation.  The  Cele- 
bration-Evaluation is  both  a  celebration  and 
an  evaluation.  Each  student  is  asked  to  syn- 
thesize the  time  spent,  to  summarize  the 
work  done,  and  to  discuss  how  this  work  has 
prepared  the  student  to  move  on.  In  a  very 
real  sense  the  Celebration-Evaluation  is  an 
opportunity  for  the  student  to  show  off: 
"These  are  my  accomplishments;  here  are 
my  enthusiasms  and  plans."  At  the  same 


131)10 


time  the  examiners  evaluate  the  student's 
progress  and  certify  that  the  work  done  is 
the  equivalent  of  two  years,  or  sixty  credits. 
After  completing  the  program  students  go 
on  to  a  regular  major,  or  create  one  through 
BDIC. 


The  Bachelor's  Degree  with  Individual 
Concentration  (BDIC)  is  a  degree-granting 
program  in  which  a  student,  with  the  guid- 
ance of  a  faculty  sponsor,  designs  an  under- 
graduate major  by  combining  course  work 
from  two  or  more  departments.  Founded  in 
1971,  the  program  continues  to  encourage 
hundreds  of  students  annually  to  use  the 
academic  resources  of  the  University  and 
nearby  colleges  to  shape  their  educations  to 
meet  individual  intellectual,  personal,  or  vo- 
cational goals  more  effectively.  To  earn  a 
B.A.  or  B.S.  in  BDIC,  students  must  com- 
plete four  semesters  in  the  program.  Their 
work  each  semester  must  reflect  the  interde- 
partmental nature  of  their  program  of  study 
and  draw  from  at  least  two  different  depart- 
ments a  minimum  of  nine  credits  of  courses 
each  semester. 

Each  student's  program  of  study  is  devel- 
oped with  the  advice  and  consent  of  both  the 
student's  faculty  sponsor  and  the  BDIC  fac- 
ulty supervisor.  Because  BDIC  has,  in  effect, 
hundreds  of  different  majors,  students  are 
required  to  confer  with  their  faculty  spon- 
sors regularly.  Experience  has  shown  that 
students  familiar  with  BDIC  guidelines  who 
meet  regularly  with  their  sponsors  have  rela- 
tively little  difficulty  completing  the  pro- 
gram's requirements.  For  many  students, 
designing  a  program  of  study  and  conferring 
with  faculty  can  be  a  valuable  part  of  their 
educational  experience. 

For  BDIC  students,  twenty-five  per  cent 
of  the  credits  counted  toward  the  major  may 
be  earned  in  special  problems  or  indepen- 
dent study  work.  In  addition  to  the  usual 
independent  reading  projects,  tutorials,  or 
laboratory  research,  BDIC  encourages  stu- 
dents to  use  the  independent  study  option 
for  field  work,  internships,  and  other  experi- 
ential learning,  all  of  which  must  have  an 
academic  component.  Many  BDIC's  include 
study  abroad  as  part  of  their  programs  of 
study.  Over  the  years,  BDIC  seniors  have 
produced  some  outstandingly  high  quality 
senior  honors  projects  in  completing  their 
undergraduate  careers.

Internships  £ec^al  Studies 


The  Office  of  Internships  is  a  special  pro- 
gram within  the  University  designed  to  facili- 
tate internship  experiences  for  students. 
More  specifically,  our  purpose  is  to  make  it 
possible  for  qualified  students  to  spend  a 
semester  off  campus  in  the  working  world, 
and  to  intergrate  this  experience  with  their 
academic  program. 

By  participating  in  a  carefully  constructed 
internship  program,  a  student  develops  com- 
petency through  actual  "on  the  job"  exper- 
ience while  maintaining  close  contact  with 
the  faculty  advisor  and  internship  super- 
viser.  Students  enrolled  in  this  program  may 
earn  from  one  to  fifteen  credits  by  fulfilling 
academic  contracts  arranged  with  a  faculty 
sponsor.  Both  the  educational  and  occupa- 
tional experience  arc  designed  to  be  thor- 
oughly intergrated  with  the  student's  prior 
and  future  course  of  study  at  the  University. 

Prior  to  the  internship,  each  student  ar- 
ranges cui  academic  contract  with  a  faculty 
member  that  articulates  the  academic  goals 
and  objectives  of  the  internship.  In  addition, 
the  contract  requires  a  description  of  a  final 
project  that  will  fulfill  those  academic  goals. 
The  intern,  therefore,  earns  academic  cred- 
its for  demonstration  of  what  was 
learned  during  the  internship  to  a  faculty 
sponsor. 

The  internship  usually  relates  to  the  stu- 
dent's course  of  study  at  the  University.  A 
primary  purpose  of  our  program  is  to  en- 
courage students  to  carefully  integrate  the 
theoretical  knowledge  they  have  studied  in 
their  classes  with  the  practical  knowledge 
they  have  learned  during  the  internship.  The 
student  often  returns  to  campus  more  deter- 
mined to  select  interesting  and  useful 
courses  and  also  to  be  more  involved  in  and 
demanding  of  these  courses. 

Evaluation  of  the  internship  is  accom- 
plished by  all  the  participants,  the  student,  a 
counselor  from  our  program,  the  agency  su- 
pervisor, and  the  faculty  sponsor  all  work 
together  to  establish  an  on-going  perspective 
about  each  student's  field  experience. 

The  Office  of  Internships  places  most  of 
its  students  in  eastern  and  western  Massa- 
chusetts and  a  significant  number  of  students 
in  New  York  City  and  Washington  D.C.,  as 
well  as  throughout  the  States.  In  addition, 
a  few  students  intern  in  some  selected  over- 
seas placements.

As  the  result  of  a  pioneering  effort  by  the 
Legal  Studies  Program  at  the  University  of 
Massachusetts,  education  in  law  is  becoming 
less  restricted  to  the  ivy-covered  walls  of  law 
schools  in  the  U.S.  Since  1973,  undergrad- 
uate legal  studies  programs  and  depart- 
ments have  sprung  up  in  colleges  and  univer- 
sities across  the  country  —  from  Berkeley  to 
Boston  University.  And  many  more  institu- 
tions are  following  the  trend. 

Undergraduate  legal  studies  education 
didn't  just  begin  randomly.  Studies  by  the 
Association  of  American  Law  Schools  and 
the  Carnegie  Commission  of  Higher  Educa- 
tion in  1971  and  1972  concluded  that  there 
was  a  lack  of  undergraduate  law  programs 
all  over  the  U.S.  Both  institutions  supported 
the  establishment  of  programs  to  teach  uni- 
versity students  the  law,  rather  than  leaving 
legal  education  exclusively  to  law  schools. 

These  studies  set  a  new  trend  in  the  U.S.; 
where  legal  study  had  been  almost  exclusive- 
ly geared  towards  future  professionals,  it 
was  not  putting  law  into  the  hands  of  the 
people. 

The  UMass  Legal  Studies  Program  offers 
courses  ranging  from  the  technical  legal  re- 
search and  writing,  to  a  course  in  sex  roles, 
law,  and  society.  Students  also  learn  through 
independent  study,  workshops  and  intern- 
ships. 

What  does  a  legal  studies  education  do  for 
the  students?  Students  can  expand  their  un- 
derstanding of  the  American  legal  system. 
Much  of  the  knowledge  is  transferable  to 
career  and  non-career  goals.  As  a  result, 
students  may  better  understand  how  people 
in  social  groups,  such  as  church  groups,  as- 
sume power.  Students  majoring  in  Legal 
Studies  assume  responsibility  for  developing 
their  own  course  of  study.  Before  becoming 
majors,  they  must  submit  a  written  state- 
ment explaining  their  proposed  program  of 
study,  which  includes  courses  they  plan  to 
take,  possible  work  or  projects,  and  the  in- 
terests which  tie  their  program  together. 

Legal  Studies  graduates  have  left  UMass 
to  work  in  criminal  law,  consumer  affairs, 
and  one  has  become  executive  director  of  a 
American  Civil  Liberites  Chapter.  Three  to 
four  percent  have  gone  to  law  school,  while 
others  have  become  para-legals.

For  students  interested  in  Honors  course 
wori<  here  at  UMass,  there  are  three  levels 
of  involvement:  the  Commonwealth  Schol- 
ar's Program,  Honors  courses,  and  Depart- 
mental Honors  Programs. 

The  Commonwealth  Scholar's  Program 
offers  an  alternative  to  the  distribution  re- 
quirement system  to  students  of  high  aca- 
demic motivation  and  proven  ability.  Stu- 
dents who  are  accepted  into  this  program 
have  closer  contact  with  their  Academic 
Dean  (the  Honors  Program  Director),  easier 
access  to  personal  and  academic  advisors, 
and  the  opportunity  to  work  closely  with  a 
faculty  adviser  in  their  department.  A  port- 
folio of  written  evaulations  of  each  student's 
performance  in  honors  coursework  is  devel- 
oped, making  it  possible  for  the  Director  of 
the  Program  to  write  very  accurate  and  de- 
tailed letters  of  recommendation  for  student 
applications  for  jobs  and  graduate  school. 
The  Program  is  also  beginning  to  organize  a 
series  of  inter-disciplinary  courses  and  ca- 
reer seminars  tailored  to  the  needs  and  aca- 
demic goals  of  its  students. 

Honors  courses  may  be  taken  at  any  point 
in  a  student's  academic  career  —  either  as 
an  individual  intellectual  challenge,  or  in  ful- 
fillment of  Honors  requirements.  Introduc- 
tory level  Honors  course  offered  through 
most  departments  are  strictly  limited  in  size 
to  a  maximum  of  twenty  students.  These 
courses  assume  active  student  involvement 
from  the  outset,  demand  more  independent 
reading  and  research  and,  as  a  result,  carry 
four  rather  than  three  academic  credits. 

Honors  courses  are  open  to  all  University 
students  by  arrangement  with  the  instructor 
of  the  three-credit  departmental  course. 
Faculty   and   students   are   encouraged   to

meet  before  the  class  begins;  in  this  way, 
the  faculty  member  may  ascertain  whether 
or  not  the  individual  student  is  capable  of 
handling  the  material  for  the  course,  and 
students  may  ascertain  the  level  of  involve- 
ment required  of  them. 

In  1972,  the  Academic  Matters  Commit- 
tee proposed  changes  to  the  then  existing 
Honors  Policy  concerning  graduation  with 
higher  honors.  It  was  felt  that  the  practice  of 
higher  honors  based  on  cumulative  cut-off 
points  were  too  inclusive  due  to  "grade  infla- 
tion"; in  some  cases  they  were  too  restric: 
tive  because  of  the  carry-over  of  outdated 
grade  point  averages  of  returning  students. 
It  became  increasingly  evident  that  a  system 
geared  more  toward  individual  achievement 
was  necessary.  Thus,  the  concept  of  depart- 
mental honors  programs  was  established. 

Departmental  Honors  Programs  vary 
from  department  to  department.  These  pro- 
grams have  been  developed  for  those  stu- 
dents interested  in  culminating  their  under- 
graduate education  and  preparing  for  gra- 
duate study  through  research  and  greater 
involvement  in  their  department.  Successful 
completion  of  a  departmental  honors  pro- 
gram entitles  a  student  to  graduate  with 
higher  honors  (magna  cum  laude,  summa 
cum  laude). 

An  integral  part  of  most  Departmental 
Honors  Programs  is  the  Senior  Honors  The- 
sis. These  projects  are  designed  for  and  by 
students  who  plan  to  attend  a  graduate  pro- 
gram, or  wish  to  have  some  practical  exper- 
ience in  their  field.  Senior  Honors  Theses  of 
recent  years,  for  example,  range  from  labo- 
ratory investigation  to  cultural  and  literary 
criticism;  they  include  at  least  one  novel,  a 
produced  play,  an  environmental  design 
plan  for  the  use  of  campus  space,  and  in- 
creasing numbers  of  interdisciplinary  ap- 
proaches to  old  and  new  problems.

^Bilingual  Collegiate  Program 


The  Bilingual  Collegiate  Program  (BCP) 
provides  assistance  to  bilingual  students 
through  a  wide  variety  of  services  and  op- 
portunities for  personal  and  intellectual 
growth.  These  services  include:  academic, 
personal,  career,  and  financial  aid  counsel- 
ing; tutoring;  and  special  curricular  offer- 
ings. 

Active  recruitment  of  students  is  carried 
on  within  bilingual  communities  in  this  state 
in  an  attempt  to  locate  high  school  students, 
as  well  as  graduates  and  candidates  with 
general  equivalency  diplomas,  who  demon- 
strate potential  capabilities  for  college  edu- 
cation, but,  who,  lacking  appropriate  orien- 
tation and  motivation,  would  not  normally 
apply  for  admission  to  the  University. 

Through  a  comprehensive  program  of 
academic  counseling,  the  BCP  attempts  to 
provide  its  students  with  all  necessary  infor- 
mation regarding  such  basics  to  University 
life  as  areas  of  study,  required  courses,  facili- 
ties and  resources  of  the  University,  individ- 
ual assistance  in  methods  of  study,  and  assis- 
tance with  individual  problems  regarding  the 
academic  performance  of  students. 

In  colloboration  with  different  depart- 
ments within  the  University,  the  BCP  has 


developed  a  series  of  courses  taught  in 
Spanish,  designed  to  assist  students  in  their 
transition  to  college  life.  The  BCP  frequently 
organizes  workshops  and  seminars  to  deal 
with  the  specific  needs  of  its  students. 

As  part  of  its  service,  the  BCP  offers  all 
interested  students  a  full  tutorial  assistance 
program.  Through  this  program,  the  BCP 
provides  assistance  to  those  students  with 
language  or  academic  deficiencies.  This  as- 
sistance helps  them  to  get  the  most  out  of 
their  courses.  An  intense  follow-up  program 
permits  the  BCP  to  diagnose  the  needs  and 
observe  the  progress  of  its  students  through 
a  close  collaboration  between  the  program, 
its  tutors,  the  students,  and  the  University 
professors. 

Over  the  past  two  years,  the  BCP  has 
been  compiling  a  collection  of  books  and 
periodicals  in  Spanish  and  Portuguese. 
These  books  have  been  made  available  to 
students  through  a  resource  center  located 
in  the  BCP  offices.  The  purpose  of  this  re- 
source center  is  to  provide  students  with 
reading  material  relevant  to  their  education- 
al and  cultural  needs  which  are  not  readily 
available  through  the  libraries  of  the  five 
colleges.

"...  If  Monday  dinner  at  the  dining 
commons  is  meatloaf-asparagus  sur- 
prise, you  always  know  that  Tuesday 
lunch  is  tuna.  We  have  made  it  through 
Wednesday  afternoons  quarter  beers  at 
the  Pub  and  the  same  number  of  all- 
nighters.  We  must  have  a  shade  of 
optimism,  mellowing  the  defiance,  or 
few  of  us  would  have  made  it  past  that 
first  day  freshman  year  ....  We  must 
be  tolerant  and  patient,  for  tomorrow 
we  are  freshmen  again  and  there  is  no 
Campus  Assistance  to  hand  out  maps  of 
the  University.  Final  exam  times  are  not 
posted,  they  are  given  at  random  ..."

Juniors! 

Seniors! 

GRADUATES!  GRADUATES!  GRADUATES! 

It's  been  a  helluva  four  years  ...  or  was  it  four  years  in  Hell? 

But  anyways  . . . 

We  came  to  UMass  with  a  high  school  education  as  our  only  comnnon 

background.  We  are  leaving  with  Bachelor's  degrees,  Senior  Day  mugs, 

and  (sniff,  sniff)  good  memories.

Four  Years,  Or  Eight 
Semesters  Ago 

I  first  came  to  UMass  because  of  the  great 
glazed  donuts  at  the  Coffee  Shop.  Since  then 
much  has  "transpired"  (college  word  for  "hap- 
pened"). Now  whole  wheat  bagels  are  enticing 
new  entrants. 

As  a  graduating  senior  I  empathize  with  Randy 
Newman,  who  groaned,  "Oh,  it's  lonely  at  the 
top!"  With  a  college  degree  I'll  be  playing  a 
sophisticated  game  of  "king  of  the  mountain". 
The  game  is  very  competitive  and  goes  something 
like  this: 

"Hey,  no  one  up  here  with  practical  education. 
Throw  that  engineering  student  off!" 

"Okay,  the  neighborhood  is  pure.  Let's  pass 
the  time  by  yodeling."  We  shout  down  into  the 
canyon.  "GOT  A  JOB?"  A  soft  echo  reverberates 
back  to  us,  "G-got  a-a  j-job?" 

"Wait,  there  is  an  answer.  Quiet!  There  it  is 
again  ..." 

A  blunt  reply  floats  up  to  us.  "WHO  DO  YOU 
KNOW?" 

"Okay  gang,  this  calls  for  emergency  name 
dropping."  (Carefully  tie  little  parachutes  to 
these  names:  Teddy  Kennedy,  Sammy  Davis  Jr., 
Gary  Trudeau,  and  Charles  Manson).  We  toss  the 
names  over  the  cliff  and  hope  one  strikes  home. 

Ah,  what  is  left.  I've  experienced  so  much  in 
these  past  four  years.  What  have  I  to  look  for- 
ward to?  I've  already  "done"  (the  hip  verb  for 
"use")  every  drug  imaginable  —  Maalox,  Corici- 
din,  Rosehip  Vitamins,  zinc  supplements,  and  I 
even  took  a  snort  of  Tang.  I've  already  gone  out 
with  a  woman  who  was  on  the  pill  —  also  I've 
experimented  with  other  birth  control  methods 
and  failed  several  times  to  create  a  few  non- 
nuclear  families. 

I've  already  gone  to  265  rock  concerts  — 
"No,  that's  not  static  you  fool,  thats  the  lead 
guitar."'  I've  already  chowed  down  pizzas  with 
every  topping  conceived  of  —  Ivory  Soap  shav- 
ings, avacado  chunks,  cream  cheese,  chopped  up 
milk  carton,  and  philadendrin  leaves.  I've  already 
totally  destroyed  two  apartments;  the  security 
deposit  went  towards  the  last  month's  rent,  and 
a  house  —  no  security  deposit  at  all,  obviously 
the  landlord  didn't  know  we  played  darts  or  got 
violent  over  the  Celtic's  losses.  Is  this  what  is 
meant  as  a  new  "lease"  on  life? 

So,  what's  left?  Maybe  I'll  start  an  alfalfa 
sprout  farm.  No,  better  yet,  I'll  grow  cheesecake. 

Some  things  will  gladly  be  left  behind.  I  happily 
say  "later"  to  conversations  that  end  with  "lat- 
er". I'm  done  with  cramming,  jamming,  and  book- 
ing. I'll  enjoy  finding  new  exclamations  for  "dig  it, 
get  down,  goin'  down,  wow,  and  your  bad  self." 
There  will  no  longer  be  use  for  the  salutations  of 
"see  ya,  call  ya,  catch  ya  'round".  I  can  do 
without  the  academic  complications  of  prerequi- 
sites, electives,  major-minor  and  bush  league. 

I'll  get  back  to  the  simple  life.  Maybe  I  can 
avoid  the  people  with  dead  reptiles  over  the 
breast  of  their  tennis  shirts.  Maylie  I  can  actually 
meet  some  people  who  wear  khaki  pants  for 
manual  labor. 

No,  my  college  education  has  not  been  worth- 
less. At  least  I've  learned  to  come  in  out  of  the 
rain.  Maybe  I  didn't  learn  to  tie  my  shpes,  but  I 
have  perfected  walking  barefoot.  I've  learned  that 
anti-matter  is  not  a  radical  movement. 

Lastly,  I've  learned  that  the  only  way  to  end 
an  article  is  to  stop  writing.

Instead  of  using  the  traditional 
approacli  to  describe  the  living 
areas,  we've  focused  on  one  aspect 
and  perspective  of  each.  Herewith 
Steve,  Mr.  Kamins,  Shonda,  Louise, 
Maria,  Debbie,  Rhona,  June,  Dawn 
and  Sylvia  share  their  thoughts  . . . 


The  arrival  of  freshpersons  in  late  Au- 
gust is  always  a  hectic  time  for  UMass 
administrators,  and  August  1977  was 
worse  than  most:  it  was  at  this  time  that 
they  realized  there  was  an  acute  housing 
shortage. 

UMass  has  a  policy  of  accepting  more 
students  than  there  is  space  for,  and  due 
to  those  who  decide  to  go  to  other 
schools,  and  those  upperclasspersons 
who  decide  to  live  off-campus,  the  num- 
bers usually  even  out,  and  there  are 
enough  rooms  for  all  who  enter  the  do- 
main of  Metawampe.  This  year  over  300 
extra  freshpersons  and  transfer  students 
arrived  at  UMass  only  to  find  that  there 
weren't  any  dorm  rooms  available  for 
them. 

After  placing  a  number  of  the  frantic 
students  into  dorm  lounges,  private 
homes,  and  fraternities,  the  Campus  Cen- 
ter Hotel  was  the  remaining  option  open 
to  the  administration;  over  a  hundred  stu- 
dents checked  into  the  hotel  at  the  Uni- 
versity's expense.  And  how  did  those 
"fortunate"  students  feel  about  the  situa- 
tion? 

"I  was  pretty  mad,"  said  Brian  Burke,  a 
hotel  resident  for  three  weeks  and  one  of 
its  early  student  leaders.  "I  had  been  call- 
ing the  school  for  about  two  weeks  before 
I  came  up  here  after  I  heard  about  the 
possible  room  shortage.  They  told  me  to 
wait  until  I  got  up  here  because  they 
couldn't  make  housing  assignments  over 
the  phone.  They  just  didn't  have  any  male 
rooms  open,  and  they  couldn't  move  us 


into  female  dorms." 

The  idea  of  living  in  the  hotel  would 
seem  inviting  to  many  students,  but  most 
of  those  who  had  to  live  there  felt  it  left  a 
lot  to  be  desired.  "My  friends  saw  me  in 
the  Collegian  articles  and  thought  I  was 
a  celebrity,"  Burke  said.  "We  had  a  color 
television,  air  conditioning,  the  Blue  Wall 
downstairs  and  an  extremely  nice  house- 
mother who  we  all  called  ma.  Then  I  ex- 
plained the  disadvantages.  It  threw  my 
studying  incentive  off,  we  had  no  unity, 
and  since  none  of  us  was  sure  exactly 
how  long  he'd  be  staying  there,  it  was 
hard  to  build  any  solid  friendships."  Other 
problems  these  students  faced  were  the 
lack  of  laundry  facilities,  colloqs,  and  an 
area  government,  and  also,  for  a  few 
days,  they  were  ineligible  to  start  work- 
study  jobs  because  they  didn't  have  a 
local  permanent  address  (this  situation 
was  ammended  as  soon  as  Dean  Field 
became  aware  of  it). 

Legal  Services  Office  (LSO)  and  Pier- 
pont  residents  were  especially  helpful. 
"They  told  us  about  our  rights,  and  were 
behind  us  100%,"  Burke  said.  "They 
really  helped  us,  and  we  can't  thank  them 
enough.  All  the  publicity  the  Collegian 
gave  us  helped  our  cause  too." 

Male  upperclasspersons  were  given  the 
opportunity  to  move  off  campus  to  open 
more  dorm  rooms,  but  only  a  few  left.  The 
housing  office  tried  to  place  the  students 
in  these  rooms  and  in  rooms  vacated  by 
students  who  dropped  out;  the  hotel  stu- 
dents were  given  the  option  of  approving 


of  a  room  before  moving  in,  and  could 
turn  down  a  room  for  a  valid  reason. 

Burke  and  his  roommate,  Billy  Walsh, 
moved  into  Patterson  after  about  three 
weeks  of  "suitcase  living".  "Billy  looks 
upon  the  experience  as  an  outright  victo- 
ry for  us,"  Burke  said.  "I  look  upon  it  as 
an  advantage.  We  have  gone  through  the 
system  in  direct  contact  with  the  adminis- 
tration. We  learned  a  lot  from  the  exper- 
ience, but  I  wouldn't  want  it  to  happen 
again."  Many  housing  officials  would  be 
quick  to  agree. 

Burke,  Walsh,  and  the  other  students 
subjected  to  "suitcase  living"  and  who 
are  now  in  dorms  were  reimbursed  for  the 
time  they  spent  in  the  hotel.  If  this  situa- 
tion were  to  arise  again,  Walsh  feels  it 
would  be  due  to  ignorance  on  the  part  of 
the  administration,  but  would  like  to  help 
out  anyone  else  who  gets  stuck  in  the 
same  situation,  so  that  they  won't  be  as 
inconvenienced  as  the  hotel  students  of 
1977  were. 

Although  many  former  hotel  students 
would  rather  forget  that  the  problem  ex- 
isted at  all,  Burke  and  Walsh  take  pride  in 
telling  people  about  it.  "We  saw  what  the 
school  was  really  like,"  Burke  said.  "Ev- 
eryone was  really  willing  to  help."  And  for 
at  least  two  students  Collegian  articles 
and  photos  still  have  a  prominent  place 
on  the  walls  of  their  room  in  Patterson 
dorm.

When  summer  ignored  my  wishes  and 
came  again  to  Somerville  last  year,  it  sud- 
denly seemed  time  to  move  away  from 
the  asphalt.  It  was  our  eleventh  straight 
hot  season  in  one  city  or  another.  Enough 
was  enough. 

Tree-shaded  Amherst  beckoned:  cool 
and  green,  full  of  libraries  at  all  the  col- 
leges, and  offering  cultural  and  political 
action  to  fill  in  for  the  city.  It  looked  like  a 
perfect  setting  for  a  freelance  writer. 
Moreover,  my  wife  got  a  job  in  Amherst, 
which  is  how  we  eat. 

So  we  moved.  But  I  have  to  report  that 
my  hopes  for  a  peaceful  life  in  the  country 
have  been  thwarted.  It  turns  out  that  cer- 
tain aspects  of  life  in  Amherst  overreach 
the  bounds  of  human  tolerance,  which  is 
what  I  am  equipped  with.  Don't  get  me 
wrong  —  I'm  not  ready  yet  to  move  back 
to  the  city,  but  I  do  need  some  assistance 
here  to  make  it  possible  to  stay.  A  pin- 


point artillery  barrage  would  do  it,  or 
some  armored  bulldozers  and  a  swinging- 
ball  crane.  History  will  exonerate  those 
who  help  me.  Alternatively,  I  will  pay  a 
modest  honorarium. 

The  source  of  the  trouble  can  be  stated 
in  one  word;  Southwest.  I  can  see  it  out 
my  window  as  I  write  this.  I  don't  like  to 
look,  but  I  can  see  it.  I  can  hear  it,  too. 

The  people  who  designed  the  towers 
apparently  conceived  of  them  as  simple 
night  storage  space  for  the  peaceful 
youth  of  college  idylls.  Obviously,  none 
among  them  foresaw  the  potential  for  de- 
velopment there  of  the  state's  largest 
dope  emporium,  a  monster  five-barrel 
puffer  whose  exhaust  can  leave  the  Con- 
necticut Valley  stoned  as  far  as  Holyoke. 

But  that  isn't  my  complaint.  The  real 
trouble  is  that  life  anywhere  near  South- 
west means  continuous  aural  exposure  to 
the  world's  largest,  loudest  combination 
rock  concert,  free-fire  zone  and  primal 
scream  therapy  center. 

On  the  positive  side,  I  admit  that  the 
experience  has  introduced  me  to  some 
new  and  passionate  philosophical  inquir- 
ies. Among  all  the  options  in  the  universe, 
for  instance,  why  does  one   18th  floor 


room  house  both  a  student  and  a  23,000 
watt  amplifier?  And  given  the  immutable 
laws  of  opportunity  and  consequence, 
what  power  decided  that  that  student 
could  also  have  records  to  play?  More 
basically,  why  —  after  the  third  straight 
attempt  to  broadcast  rock  and  roll  down 
the  valley  to  Hartford  at  3:30  a.m.  — 
should  such  a  student  be  allowed  to  re- 
main alive? 

And  why,  why  did  we  ever  rent  a  house 
so  close  to  Southwest? 

When  we  found  this  house  still  vacant, 
we  thought  it  was  sheer  luck.  The  big 
towers  down  the  block  —  empty  then  for 
the  summer  break  —  hardly  drew  our 
attention.  We  had  no  experience  to  pre- 
pare us  for  the  terror  that  began  with  Arri- 
val Day,  the  magic  time  each  September 
when,  in  the  space  of  twenty-four  hours, 
Amherst  is  transformed  from  a  set  of 
crossroads  into  a  raving  traffic  jam  of  mo- 
torized students.  The  air  thickens  as 
snorting  cars  butt  and  scream  in  the  bat- 
tle for  parking  spaces.  Meanwhile,  stupi- 
fied  and  whimpering  parents  carry  tons  of 
stereo  equipment  up  Southwest's  endless 
stairs,  circling  the  quiet  elevator  shafts 
whose  cars  refuse  to  operate  when  en- 
tered by  humans  with  objects  in  their 
hands. 

We  now  know  that  this  capricious  ele- 
vator service  accounts  for  some  of  the 
screamers  in  Southwest.  Some.  As  for  the 
rest,  I'm  told  that  the  syndrome  is  well- 
known  in  New  York  City:  people  succumb 


124 


to  the  great  metropolitan  loneliness  and 
simply  begin  to  scream  where  they  stand, 
usually  on  streetcorners.  In  Southwest, 
they  open  up  the  window  at  any  hour  and 
bellow  out. 

It  takes  two  or  three  prime  howls  to 
provoke  the  fabled  Southwest  Scream- 
er's Response  Pattern  (SSRP)  which  so 
intrigues  local  psychologists.  Initial  re- 
sponses are  usually  simple  prescriptions 
for  the  screamer's  condition  ("shut  up"  is 
the  current  favorite),  and  may  be  offered 
several  times.  But  continuation  of  this 
first-level  interface  quickly  attracts  the 
needed  "critical  mass"  of  participants, 
and  then  begins  the  thrilling,  high-volume 
exhange  of  information  so  basic  to  the 
university  experience  here.  Students  re- 
veal that  they  have  clocks,  and  can  tell 
time.  Others  exchange  anatomical  de- 
scriptions and  suggest  experiments,  or  in- 
vestigate kinship  possibilities.  Potential 
new  food  chains  are  described.  The  first 
screamer,  meanwhile,  sits  back  in  the 
shadows  to  smile,  dreamily  reassured  of 
company  on  his/her  lonely  voyage. 

By  careful  experiment,  I  have  deter- 
mined that  SSRP  can  overcome  two 
sheets  of  window  glass,  a  thickness  of 
pillow,  and  any  earplugs  on  the  market. 

And  the  dorms  offer  pyrotechnics  be- 
yond the  outbursts  of  SSRP.  Depending 
on  their  floor,  the  screamers  and  lovers  of 
amplified  rock  may  also  take  part  in 
Southwest's  continuing  air-to-ground 
warfare.  Alienated  from  the  ground  below 
and  marooned  aloft  by  the  elevators,  up- 
per-floor students  hurl  down  beer  cans, 
water,  and  furniture  into  Southwest's 
courtyards,  and  float  out  toilet  paper  in 
festoons  that  lace  downwind  neighbor- 
hoods for  miles.  Aerial  fusillades  of  fire- 


crackers come  down  sparking  and  pop- 
ping, pleasantly  staccato  in  comparison 
to  the  blasts  of  the  proximity-fuse  cherry 
bombs. 

Still,  if  all  I  had  to  deal  with  was  the 
decibelic  assault  from  Southwest,  I  might 
not  yet  be  at  the  breaking  point.  But  there 
are  people  inside  those  towers  who  are 
not  content  with  long-distance  harass- 
ment. I  can  identify  them  because  I  have 
seen  them  face  to  face  as  well  as  through 
the  windows  on  their  rooms  (I  use  binocu- 
lars, if  you  must  know). 

Some  of  these  marauders  go  jogging  in 
the  dark  hours,  and  detour  past  to  drop 
bottles  and  trash  on  our  lawn.  They  think 
the  night  hides  them.  But  I  have  my  infra- 
red gear.  I  see  them. 

During  odd  moments  of  sleep,  I  dream 
of  unpopulated  places,  but  the  rest  of  the 
time  I  obsess  on  vengence;  bursting  into 
the  18th-floor  room  like  Wonder  Warthog, 
sending  student  and  stereo  out  the  win- 
dow with  tremendous  kicks.  Off,  then, 
through  the  halls,  to  tommygun  the 
screamers'  doors. 

You  can  see  what  is  happening.  A  great 
career  (take  my  word  for  it)  is  being  mired 
in  the  swamp  of  violence.  My  work  is  at  a

standstill.  The  only  thing  I  have  been  able 
to  produce  in  weeks  is  this  justification  for 
the  acts  I  feel  increasingly  compelled  to 
carry  out.

Patrick  Kamins  is  the  manager  of  the 
following  apartment  complexes:  Latern 
Court,  Northwood,  Cliffside,  Presidential, 
Colonial  Village,  Cederwood,  Swiss  Vil- 
lage, and  Village  Apartments. 


"Everybody  thinks  I  own  these  places.  I 
don't.  The  owners  wouldn't  hire  me  if  in 
fact  I  didn't  come  on  like  I  owned  these 
places.  I  have  more  problems  with  the 
owners  than  I  do  with  the  tenants." 


Index:  Do  you  feel  that  the  University 
could  provide  better  housing? 

Kamins:  Yes,  at  an  expense.  They're  do- 
ing the  best  they  can  at  the  University. 
The  students  are  ripped  off  in  the  sense  of 
standards.  If  you  like  confusion,  if  you  like 
a  lot  of  boyfriends  around,  you've  got  to 
go  to  the  high  rise.  I  can't  provide  that  for 
you  at  Cliffside  or  Colonial  Village.  Some 
kids  love  that;  they  enjoy  that.  I'll  not 
deny  that,  but  dollar  for  dollar  they're  get- 
ting ripped  off:  in  privacy,  in  their  stan- 
dards, and  in  what  they're  used  to  at 
home,  I'm  sure. 

/.■  How  do  you  feel  about  the  fact  that  the 
University  makes  it  so  hard  for  students  to 


live  off-campus? 

K:  They're  a  business  in  themselves. 
They're  doing  the  best  they  can,  and  the 
best  by  our  standards  is  not  good 
enough.  I'll  challenge  them  one  on  one  — 
anyone  —  that  I  have  the  best.  There's 
no  graft  there.  I  think  they're  doing  a  ter- 
rific job,  but  the  private  sector  can  do 
better. 

/;  Would  you  say  that  mostly  students  live 
in  your  apartments? 

K:  No.  That  might  surprise  most  people. 
Presidential  is  99%  faculty  and  profes- 
sional people. 

/.•  With  families? 

K:  Not  so  much,  no.  A  very  important 
question  as  far  as  the  town  is  concerned 
—  a  family  constitutes  children.  No,  just 
faculty,  single  types.  We  have  many  one 
bedrooms  there.  Not  too  many  kids.  From 
the  townperson's  level,  children  are  an 
expense  —  a  tax  expense.  I  don't  believe 
there  are  seven  children  at  Presidential. 
I'm  just  old  enough  to  tell  you  that  the 
Board  of  Appeals,  and  the  people  of  the 
town  who  set  up  multi-unit  housing  took 
this  into  consideration.   Let's  take  200 


units  of  Colonial  Village  design;  the  Bo- 
ard of  Appeals  and  the  town  authorities 
levied  just  how  many  two  bedrooms,  how 
manyone  bedrooms,  how  many  three  bed- 
rooms. It  doesn't  take  much  to  understand 
that  three  bedrooms  mean  children. Three 
bedrooms,  children,  and  the  taxpayers' 
dollar  just  means  taxes  —  you  have  to 
educate  the  kids.  And  I  must  say,  those 
people,  when  they  put  together  the  by- 
laws, took  this  into  consideration  and  left 
the  kids  out.  It  was  definately  industry  to 
the  community,  but  didn't  take  out  on  the 
tax  dollar  because  there  are  so  few  chil- 
dren using  up  the  tax  dollars  in  the  com- 
munity. 

/.■  Are  there  certain  apartment  complexes 
that  are  mostly  students? 

K:  Yes,  each  complex  has  a  personality 
in  itself.  A  young  person  like  yourself 
comes  through  the  door,  and  you  have  a 
lifestyle  of  your  own.  Do  you  want  to  live 
with  the  professors  of  the  community?  No 
way.  So  I  tell  these  people,  and  they 
don't.  A  young  person  does  not  live  at 
Presidential.  I  don't  really  know  you.  I'd 
size  you  up.  A  young  marled  type,  yes.  All 
utilities  $185.00  per  month;  that's  quite  a 
buy  by  anybody's  standards  and  we're 
proud  of  it,  and  it's  filled  —  I've  never  had 
a  vacancy.  Maybe  if  you  were  a  young 
married  type  that's  where  you  would  be- 
long. Colonial  Village.  A  personality  In  it- 
self. Living  with  young  married  types. 
Now  let's  go  next  door  -^  Swiss  Village. 
Now  that's  a  different  ball  game  entirely. 
Four  bedrooms,  a  bunch  of  swingers.  It's 
inexpensive,  it's  also  much  in  demand. 
There  are  no  vacancies.  Amherst  College

rented  tialf  of  it. 

/;  Do  you  tiave  any  problems  witti  tardy 
rent,  or  students  causing  damage  or 
walking  out? 

K:  99%  of  ttie  students  are  beautiful 
people.  Ttie  people  ttiat  get  ripped  off: 
ttiey  didn't  get  paid,  ttieir  apartment  got 
wrecked,  they're  ttie  exception.  From  my 
twenty-seven  years  in  the  business,  I 
take  a  student  over  any  other  type  of 
person. 

/.■  Why? 

K:  I  treat  them  just  like  my  kids,  and  I 
have.  You  mess  up  the  apartment,  I'm 
going  to  call  your  mother  and  father. 

/.•  You'd  really  do  that? 

K:    Oh,   I  have.  Of  course  I'd  call  your 
parents.   Many  times  the  par- 
ents   come    in    and    introduce 
themselves  to  me  —  especially 
with  girls.  Look  at  me.  I'm  old 
enough  to  be  a  father  image. 
Fathers    have    rights.    Mothers 
have  rights.  They  come  in  here, 
they  like  a  father  image  to  be  a 
landlord.  I'll  play  the  part.  And 
I'll  call  your  old  man  if  you  don't 
pay  your  rent  or  cut  it  up.  You've 
got  no  credit,  and  what  do  you 
have  for  a  job?  You  obligate  your- 
self with  $200.00  plus  apartment 
You've  got  no  income.  Who's  be- 
hind you?  Mommy  and  daddy. 

This  is  good.  This  is  a  community 
This  is  a  student  community,  and  if  the 
elders  don't  take  you  on  as  a  daughter, 
somebody's  hurting  .  .  .  The  fallacy  that 
students  are  no  damn  good  is  not  so.  If  it 
wasn't  for  you,  we  wouldn't  have  such  a 
lovely  community.

We  are  thirty-two  people.  Some  of  us 
came  to  UMass  for  four  years.  I,  Louise, 
came  up  as  a  freshman  with  best  pal,  Jill. 
Others  came  from  community  colleges 
after  two  years.  The  common  denomina- 
tor was  fifth  floor  Webster,  "Jive  5".  We 
got  off  campus  by  junior  year.  We  got 
back  together,  and  here's  how  it  was: 

Chris:  It  was  far  enough  away  to  be 
considered  secluded,  but  not  isolated, 
from  campus. 

Louise:  My  memories  include  sliding 
down  the  hill  in  the  winter.  Ice  city.  Stum- 
bling down  the  hill  on  weekends  (and 
many  weekdays). 

Debbie:  Thank  goodness  at  times  that 
the  infirmary  was  so  close. 

Patty:  If  you  didn't  have  hiking  boots 
during  the  "thaw"-  forget  it. 

Sly:  There  were  so  many  paths  to  take. 

Stephanie:  It's  crazy. 

David:  Wild;  drugs,  sex,  alcohol. 

Judie:  The  orchard  definitely  makes  it 
the  best. 

Michael:  The  campfires  out  near  the 
observatory  were  excellent,  intense  ex- 
periences. People  were  hanging  from 
trees,  toasting  sausage,  marshmallows 
and  their  minds. 

Wado:  Crazy  people,  small  corridors.  I 
love  the  orchard  out  back  in  the  spring. 
First  come  the  blossoms,  then  the  fris- 
bees,  and  finally  the  bikinis. 

Kevin:  I'll  never  forget  those  walks 
across  the  path  from  Sylvan  the  "morn- 
ings after". 

Scott:  There's  a  lot  of  debris  stricken 


dirt  balls  up  here  and  we  love  it. 

Rich:  The  walk  to  the  D.C.s  is  worth  it 
'coz  the  food  is  just  so  delicious! 

Nancy:  Being  an  R.A.  was  good;  hav- 
ing a  single  was  good;  ...  I  liked  it,  I  liked 
it  a  real  lot.  Sure,  you  could  party,  or 
study,  or  whatever. 

Elaine:  My  most  vivid  memories  are 
the  bands  that  play  during  the  spring  in 
the  bowl  and  tennis  courts. 

Nick:  The  kegs,  the  joints,  empty  bot- 
tles, empty  baggies,  empty  pants 
(OOPS!),  radios  and  lots  and  lots  of  nice 
people. 

Brenda:  Remember  the  initial  shock  of 
the  parents  to  see  their  little  baby  swal- 
lowed up  in  a  co-ed  dorm,  a  co-ed  bath- 
room, "Oh  no!  We've  lost  her." 
Hot  Cross:  It's  definitely  "buns  up"! 
Terry:  Classes  were  pretty  far  away. 
Susan:  The  water  fights. 
Jan:  The  semi-formals. 
Ed:  The  floor  breakfasts,  suppers;  the 
feeling  of  unity. 

Cindy:  The  place  where  I  met  my  hus- 
band. 

Bill:  How  about  the  time  when  Amherst 
Towing  came;  we  heard  it  over  the  dorm 
intercom,  and  all  the  Webster  residents 
rushed  to  the  balconies.  We  threw  paint, 
eggs,  furniture,  obsenities,  and  we  won! 
Peter:  The  dorm  fights  between  Gray- 
son, Webster  and  Dickinson.  ("Dickinson 
sucks.  Fifth  floor  Webster  has  crabs"). 

Del:  That  sad  feeling  the  day  you 
moved  off  campus  (which  soon  turned  to 
glee  when  you  realized  that  food  could  be 


edible). 

Kevin:  All  I  remember  are  those  crazy 
Thursday  nights.  Barely  remember  the 
walk  (stumble)  down  the  hill,  and  never 
never  the  walk  back  up. 

Michael:  The  stereos  blaring  out  the 
windows.  Some  one  somewhere  was  al- 
ways up  and  about  at  any  hour. 

Stan:  I  really  got  off  on  the  night  peo- 
ple; the  partiers. 

Gun:  It  was  the  scum  of  the  earth,  and  I 
hated  that  pit. 

Jeff:  I  could  relate  to  people  at  any 
level,  but  I  had  to  drop  out  for  a  semester 
due  to  heavy  whist  playing. 

Sue:  The  opportunity  to  expand  your- 
self through  Orchard  Hill  courses  initially 
attracted  me  to  the  hill. 

Pat:  I  figured  I  had  to  lose  weight  and 
what  better  way  than  walking  up  the  hill  at 
least  three  times  a  day.  Too  bad  the  jour- 
ney was  usually  to  the  D.C.s  and  the  bus 
service  was  so  good. 

Doreen:  I'll  never  forget  the  trips 
through  the  woods  or  the  picnics  with 
Steve  in  the  orchard. 

Paul:  I  enjoyed  the  fact  that  the  dorm 
rooms  were  so  unique  as  well  as  different 
from  each  other.  You  could  always  move 
the  desks  or  dressers  around. 

Jim:  The  most  exciting  times  were 
bunking  and  unbunking  the  beds. 

Jane:  Orchard  Hill  is  the  place  where  I 
met  some  of  the  best  friends  I  know  I'll 
ever  have. 

'Nuff  said.

If  he  nnust  know  the  ebb  of  your  tide,  let  him  know  its 
flood  also. 

For  what  is  your  friend  that  you  should  seek  hinn  with 
hours  to  kill? 

Seek  him  always  with  hours  to  live. 

For  it  is  his  to  fill  your  need,  but  not  your  emptiness. 

And  in  the  sweetness  of  friendship  let  there  be  laughter, 
and  sharing  of  pleasures. 

For  in  the  dew  of  little  things  the  heart  finds  its 
morning  and  is  refreshed."

"You're  in  a  sorority,"  my  co- 
worker exclaimed,  "you  don't  seem 
the  type." 

That's  always  the  reaction  I  In- 
voke when  I  tell  people  I'm  in  a  so- 
rority. And  since  being  pledged  last 
November  I  still  cannot  figure  out 
what  the  sorority  type  is.  As  much 
as  this  campus  has  changed  in  the 
past  few  years,  the  "sorority-girl" 
image  still  prevails.  You  know, 
matching  sweater-skirt  outfits,  of 
which  I  don't  own  one.  We  all  drink 
lots  of  beer,  stay  up  all  night  party- 
ing (I  wish!!!).  Oh,  and  I  almost  for- 


got, we  date  all  the  eligible  (?)  fraterni- 
ty men.  We're  all  supposed  to  be  frivo- 
lous and  very  superficial.  Maybe  some 
of  us  are,  but  for  the  most  part  we  are 
here  just  like  anyone  else,  for  an  edu- 
cation. 

Of  course  any  Greek  that  you  speak 
to  is  going  to  defend  their  house  with 
furor.  Belonging  to  a  house  gives  you  a 
special  feeling  and  on  a  large  and 
sometimes  unfriendly  campus  it's  nice 
to  know  you  have  a  place  to  call  home. 

All  fraternities  and  sororities  get  their 
members  by  sponsoring  rush  parties. 
The  structure  and  format  of  these  par- 
ties varies  from  house  to  house.  Most

assac 


fraternities,  for  example,  have  a  keg  of 
beer  and  invite  people  they  know  from 
the  dorms  or  their  high  school  class 
who  they  think  will  make  good  mem- 
bers in  the  house.  In  a  sorority  a  lot  of 
planning  goes  into  rush  parties  as  most 
houses  work  with  a  particular  theme 
like  a  wine  and  cheese  or  sundae  night. 
The  biggest  difference  in  rush  between 
fraternities  and  sororities  is  that  sorori- 
ties pool  their  resources  and  sponsor  a 
very  publicized  rush  at  the  beginning  of 
the  fall  semester.  The  Panhellenic 
Council  develops  the  master  rush  pro- 
gram for  all  the  houses  and  aids  each 
house  with  any  problems  that  might 


152 


mdti 


arise  during  the  rush  period. 

After  a  candidate  goes  through  rush 
they  get  pledged  into  membership. 
Pledging  is  perhaps  the  most  misun- 
derstood part  of  the  Greek  area. 
Pledging  is  even  misunderstood  by 
pledges.  Pledging  is  simply  the  time 
period  in  which  a  person  gets  to  know 
more  about  the  house  and  its  mem- 
bers. It  is  an  in-between  period  where 
you  are  a  member  but  not  yet  a  broth- 
er or  sister.  Most  outsiders  to  the 
Greek  area  have  only  seen  the  crazy 
part  of  pledging,  like  a  pledge  dressed 
up  in  a  crazy  outfit  singing  at  the  Pub. 
Or   maybe  when   they   were   walking 


down  North  Pleasant  street  they  saw 
the  Beta  Phi  pledges  playing  in  a  mud 
puddle.  It's  too  bad  that  these  people 
don't  get  a  chance  to  see  the  serious 
side  of  pledging  because  it  really  is  a 
rewarding  experience. 

Although  the  Greek  system  is  well 
known  for  St.  Patty's  Day,  Busch  Fest, 
and  Schlitzerama,  it's  greater  assets 
are  not  known.  The  area  government, 
Greek  Council,  has  representatives 
from  every  house.  They  meet  every 
other  Wednesday  night  and  plan,  in 
addition  to  the  all-day  drinking  mara- 
thons, events  that  are  fund  raisers  for 
charitable    organizaton.    Greeks   also 


volunteer  their  time  to  such  pro- 
grams as  Belchertown  State 
School,  Board  of  Governers  and  the 
University  Tour  Guide  Service,  AR- 
GON. 

My  experience  in  the  UMass 
Greek  area  has  been  a  very  enlight- 
ening one.  Just  like  anything  else  on 
this  campus,  the  experience  is  what 
you  make  it.  I  entered  the  Greek 
system  with  this  attitude  and  empty- 
handed  and  when  I  leave  I'll  have 
gained  a  rewarding  experience  and 
an  awful  lot  of  good  memories.

Campus  publications  at  UMass  had  al- 
ways been  a  fun  thing  to  do,  and  even 
educational,  until  late  Spring  1978. 

By  that  time,  the  annual  budget  of  the 
Massachusetts  Daily  Collegian  had 
passed  the  $300,000  mark.  It  had 
reached  the  20,000-a-day  circulation 
figure.  And  it  was  appearing  five  days  a 
week. 

Under  the  burden  of  such  responsibil- 
ities, fun  it  may  not  have  been  but  edu- 
cational it  remained.  For  when  MDC  be- 
came a  powerful  voice  on  which  about 
97  percent  of  the  student  population  re- 
lied as  their  sole  medium  of  print  com- 
munication, the  student-operated  news- 
paper also  became  fair  game  for  politi- 
cians, demagogues  and  assorted  rebels 
with  questionable  causes. 

And  as  soon  as  this  essay  comes  off 
the  presses,  A.D.  1978  will  go  down  in 
campus  history  on  a  dark  page.  It  will 
even  rival  the  year  1966,  when  the  infa- 
mous "Shazam"  caper  rocked  the  cam- 
pus. The  saving  grace  then  was  that  it 
aroused  more  than  3,5000  students  to 
defend  their  press  in  what  proved  to  be 
MDCs  finest  hour. 

The  University's  archivist  may  now 
record  the  year  1978  as  the  year  the 
MDCs  women's  editor  and  100  Sisters 
prevailed  where  the  likes  of  Spiro  Ag- 
new  and  Bert  Lance  had  failed.  They 
effected  the  student  government  take- 
over of  the  largest  campus  daily  in  New 
England.  And  none  of  the  area's  commu- 
nications media  took  note  of  this  phe- 
nomenon because  the  drama  of  101  wom- 
en taking  hostage  a  predominantly  male 
activity  obscured   the  significance  of 


the  event.  What  had  happened  was  that 
the  women  had  demanded  four  full 
pages  a  week,  free  of  advertising,  for 
their  own  use  to  promote  the  causes  of 
women  on  campus.  When  they  were  re- 
fused, passionate  lobbying  among  stu- 
dent senators  congregated  nearby  the 
MDC  offices  resulted  in  a  resolution 
passed  by  the  incredible  plurality  of 
more  than  four  to  one  (58  to  13).  The 
resolution  called  for  the  Student  Senate 
to  repossess  the  production  equipment 
of  MDC  and  freeze  the  newspaper's 
$300,000  budget  (85  per  cent  of  which  is 
raised  by  advertising  but  over  which 
the  Senate  has  100  per  cent  control). 

The  editors  capitulated  and  after 
some  two  hours  of  occupying  the  MDC 
news  room,  forcing  the  staffers  to  move 
elsewhere  to  go  about  the  business  of 
preparing  the  next  day's  edition,  the 
women  gave  up  their  turf,  exulting  in 
the  separate  but  more-than-equal  repre- 
sentation they  had  won. 

It  was  a  dark  day  for  the  student 
newspaper  that  for  more  than  30  years 
had  been  published  under  the  banner  of 
"A  Free  and  Responsible  Student  Press." 
That  slogan  had  been  adopted  during 
the  tenure  of  this  writer  as  Editor-in- 
Chief  of  the  then  weekly  Collegian.  The 
year  was  1947.  And  the  inspiriation  had 
been  the  report  of  the  Hutchins  Com- 
mission on  Freedom  of  the  Press. 

One  of  the  truths  the  Commission 
had  shared  then  that  persists  to  this 
day  was  a  quotation  from  John  Adams  in 
1815:  "If  there  is  ever  to  be  an  ameliora- 
tion of  the  condition  of  mankind,  philos- 
ophers, theologians,  legislators,  politi- 


cians, and  moralists  will  find  that  the 
regulation  of  the  press  is  the  most  diffi- 
cult, dangerous  and  important  problem 
they  have  to  resolve.  Mankind  cannot 
now  be  governed  without  it,  nor  at  pre- 
sent with  it." 

Messers.  Agnew  and  Lance,  at  differ- 
ent times,  both  charged  the  media  with 
mistreating  them  with  erroneous  and  bi- 
ased reporting.  And  in  their  own  times 
(Bert  Lance  only  a  week  before  the 
women's  takeover  of  MDC),  both  the 
former  Vice-President  of  the  United 
States  and  the  Budget  Director  of  the 
Carter  Administration  offered  as  a  solu- 
tion to  their  problems  the  outside  cen- 
sorship of  the  American  press.  But  they 
were  never  able  to  pull  it  off,  even  with 
friends  in  the  highest  places  of  the  land. 

Even  before  April  12,  1978,  the  MDC 
had  had  its  share  of  grief  at  the  hands 
of  its  critics.  But  it  has  never  missed  a 
deadline  -  not  even  when,  in  February 
1976,  about  thirty-five  Third  World  stu- 
dents had  taken  over  the  editorial  of- 
fices then  situated  on  the  mezzanine  of 
the  Student  Union.  During  a  three  and  a 
half  hour  occupation,  they  had  ousted  all 
but  four  of  the  staff,  barricaded  the 
doors  with  desks  and  masked  the  win- 
dows with  newspapers.  They  were  pro- 
testing the  firing  of  two  Black  staff 
members. 

But  the  greatest  danger  to  the  integ- 
rity of  the  Collegian,  before  the  student 
senators  took  the  First  Amendment  in 
their  teeth  in  1978,  occurred  on  May  12, 
1966. 

The  date  was  some  six  weeks  after 
the  moribund  humor  magazine  on  cam- 


pus,  Yahoo,  had  appeared  with  a  four- 
panel  cartoon  depicting  an  individual 
wearing  a  cassock-like  garment  and 
holding  a  chalice-like  vessel  from  which 
he  ultimately  pulled  a  rabbit  before  a 
candelabra,  while  uttering  but  one  word, 
"Shazam." 

State  Senator  Kevin  Harrington  of  the 
witch  country  of  Salem  reportedly 
stormed  into  the  hearing  room  on  Bea- 
con Hill  where  consideration  was  being 
given  to  the  University's  request  for 
$34.5  million  budget.  Facing  a  battery  of 
television  cameras,  newsmen  and  still 
photographers  surrounding  a  hapless 
John  Lederle,  then  president  of  the  Am- 
herst campus,  Harrington  reportedly 
drew  himself  to  his  full  six  feet  seven 
inches.  Throwing  a  copy  of  the  offend- 
ing magazing  on  the  table,  he  demanded 
that  Lederle  explain  why  State  funds 
were  being  used  to  produce  a  magazine 
that  offended  the  Roman  Catholics  of 
the  State  (he  had  taken  the  cartoon  to 
be  poking  fun  at  the  rite  of  Holy  Com- 
munion). 

The  Salem  Senator,  who  in  1978  is  him- 
self facing  charges  of  taking  illegal  cam- 
paign contributions,  said,  "I  will  not 
stand  for  an  attack  on  my  religion  ..." 

And  that  very  day,  he  was  instrumen- 
tal in  the  Senate  passage  by  a  34  to  4  roll 
call  vote  of  his  resolution  to  order  a 
special  investigation  of  a//student  publi- 
cations at  UMass. 

"Whoever  is  responsible  for  this  mag- 
azine is  going  to  go,"  he  said.  "There 
are  going  to  be  hard  days  ahead  for  the 
University  of  Massachusetts,  and  I  pre- 
dict that  heads  will  roll,"  he  said. 


Galvinized  into  action  by  Collegian 
staffers,  a  Free  Press  Committee  of 
twenty-seven  student  leaders  (with  this 
writer  as  faculty  adviser)  was  formed. 
The  first  action  was  to  publish  a  special 
newspaper,  "The  Free  Press",  which  ap- 
peared on  Friday  the  thirteenth  of  May. 
It  called  for  the  signing  of  a  petition  that 
read:  "In  the  belief  that  the  students  of 
this  campus  should  have  the  right  and 
freedom  to  establish  and  conduct  their 
own  publications,  free  of  censorship  and 
nonstudent  interference,  we  feel  the  es- 
tablishment of  a  State  Senate  committee 
to  investigate  University  Publication  se- 
riously jeopardizes  this  basic  democrat- 
ic liberty  and  places  the  freedom  of  all 
our  student  publications  in  grave  dan- 
ger. 

"...  we  the  undersigned  deplore  the 
action  taken  by  the  State  Senate  and 
agree  with  the  Free  Press  Committee  in 
recommending  the  prompt  dissolution 
of  this  Senate  committee." 

By  noon,  more  than  3,500  signatures 
had  been  collected.  Within  a  week,  a 
march  on  Beacon  Hill  was  called  off 
when  college  administrators  and  stu- 
dents had  negotiated  an  agreement 
with  the  Senator  from  Salem  that  he 
would  "squelch  the  probe"  if  he  had  as- 
surances that  the  University  officials 
were  "on  top  of  the  situation." 

By  summer's  end,  there  had  been  no 
further  word  about  the  strange  case  of 
Yahoo's  hassle  with  Church  and  State. 
And  the  Collegian's  integrity  remained 
intact,  because  it  had  fought  for  the 
principle  and  won. 

MDC  became  a  daily  newspaper  in 


1967  and,  in  the  intervening  years,  MDC 
and/or  its  individual  staffers  have 
faced  charges  of  bad  taste,  obscenity, 
libel,  racism  and  sexism.  In  Spring  1977, 
for  example,  another  women's  editor 
was  responsible  for  a  palace  revolt.  But 
it  was  settled  in-house,  albeit  at  a  cost 
of  more  than  $1,000  in  anticipated  ad- 
vertising revenues  for  the  semester. 
The  1978  embroglio  will  cost  $800  a  week 
in  lost  advertising  revenues. 

Anyway,  the  1977  bruhaha  resulted 
when  the  women's  editor  objected  to 
what  she  termed  "sexist"  ads  supplied 
by  a  prominent  beer  manufacturer  who 
was  using  well-endowed  young  ladies 
wearing  sizes-too-small  tee  shirts  and 
short-shorts  as  models.  In  the  ads,  they 
were  shown  clutching  cold  beers  in  hot 
hands.  The  objection  for  which  the 
women's  editor  gained  support  even 
from  male  staffers  (the  Board  of  Editors 
voted  to  censor  the  ads)  was  that  the 
full-page  ads  exploited  women  as  sex 
objects  and  held  them  to  public  con- 
tempt. 

In  spite  of  these  incidents  in  Collegian 
history,  it  is  the  events  of  April  12,  1978 
that  will  go  down  in  the  annals  of  infa- 
mous incursions  on  our  campus  press. 
For  when  government  (any  government, 
even  play-government)  is  permitted  to 
castrate  First  Amendment  freedoms, 
Paul  Revere's  Ride  will  have  been  for 
nothing,  the  lessons  of  the  Holocaust

Many  moons  have  passed  since  the  demise  of  the 
Below  the  Salt  and  still  the  true  story  of  its  collapse  and 
fade  into  oblivion  has  yet  to  be  revealed.  The  truth  of 
the  matter  is  that  the  popular  supplement  to  the  UMass 
Daily  Collegian  was  destroyed  by  countercultural  vigi- 
lantes who  sought  to  prevent  the  course  the  four  year 
old  paper  was  taking.  It  was  the  Residential  Lunatic 
Music  Brigade  (Sexist-Pistolist)  that  skillfully  and  with- 
out media  fanfare  threatened  and  intimidated  Salt  out 
of  business  for  its  refusal  not  to  print  a  favorable  re- 
view of  Sgt.  Pepper's  Lonely  Hearts  Club  Band  (movie 
and  soundtrack).  This  act  of  cultural  high  treason  was 
more  than  a  casual  dip  into  the  mainstream.  According 
to  the  RLMB  (SP),  the  Below  the  Salt  had  betrayed  its 
founding  principles  by  sacrificing  the  wholly  credible 
and  responsible  manner  in  which  it  had  formerly  re- 
ported crazy  music  trends  and  new  kinds  of  styles  for 
weirdos,  and  for  the  bland  mainstream  approach  devel- 
oped in  its  last  semester  of  operation.  Many  people 
were  disappointed  that  the  Salt  was  going  to  print  a 
favorable  review  of  the  slick  celluloidal  version  of  Sgt. 
Pepper,  a  film  branded  by  the  RLMB  (SP)  as  "pure 
poison  for  no  people",  and  considered  it  a  serious 
enough  effront  to  the  academic  community  here  at 
UMass  to  organize  an  apparatus  that  could  effectively 
block  the  publication  of  a  magazine  that  many  of  these 
very  activists  helped  to  start.  Of  course,  many  more 
people  suffered  in  the  process  by  its  actual  obstructed 
publication-,  weekends  were  a  drag  on  campus  without 
convenient  lists  compiled  on  the  back  page  of  the  paper 
about  things  to  dO)  investors  in  recorded  sound  had  to 
do  without  the  weekly  featured  ""market  analysis"  that 
was  Salt's  trademarked  aid  to  wise  and  wary  record 
consumers;  and  fine  arts  programs  at  the  FAC  went 
unprofiled.  Even  RasTapunk  no  longer  had  a  forum. 

It  started  in  August  of  1978  with  a  slogan,  ""SALT 
PASSES  PEPPER,  SELLS  OUT."  Two  hours  after  it  was 
learned  that  Fine  Arts  Editor  K.  Stephen  Shain  was 
about  to  go  ""soft"  on  the  Robert  O.  Stigwood  produc- 
tion of  Sgt.  Pepper's  Lonely  Hearts  Club  Band  in  the 
upcoming  fall  debut  of  Below  the  Salt,  a  spontaneous 
rally  was  generated  by  professional  countercultural  agi- 
tators chanting  "SALT  PASSES  PEPPER,  SELLS  OUT", 
misleading  bystanders  and  onlookers  with  confusing 
and  often  malicious  diatribes  about  the  quality  of  the 
BeeGees  performance,  or  about  Peter  Frampton's  inad- 
equacies as  a  rock  n'  roll  superstar. 

The  convulated  reasoning  of  the  RLMB  (SP)  was  car- 
ried to  its  extreme  when  a  somewhat  favorable  dia- 
logue was  printed  in  the  last  issue  of  the  Summer  Colle- 
gian (1978)  between  the  fine  arts  editor's  seven  year 
old  daughter,  Shonda,  and  Lawrence,  her  eleven  year 
old  uncle.  At  this  point,  the  RLMB  (SP)  threatened  to 
invade  the  Amherst  Public  School  System  with  a  ""PRE- 
SCHOOLER'S FOR  PATTI  (SMITH)"  campaign  if  any 
continued  observence  of  mainstream  cultural  tenden- 
cies were  not  finally  put  to  an  end. 

Organized  within  a  scant  three  weeks  after  the  publi- 
cation of  the  first  piece  of  evidence,  the  RLMB  (SP) 
carried  on  its  work  in  utmost  secrecy.  Though  it  was 
known  throughout  the  previous  semester  that  the  Salt 
had  been  drifting  toward  a  more  mainstream  position 
during  the  crucial  ""Winter  of  Punk  Discontent",  this 
was  all  dismissed  as  an  attribute  to  Assistant  Editor 
Mary  Brown's  influence  on  the  paper,  and  it  was  felt  by 
the  Muckamuck  Spastics,  a  Residential  Lunatic  UWW 
Lifestyle-for-credit  Cult  and  RLMB  (SP)  vanguard  wing 


of  that,  the  influence  would  subside  after  her  gradu- 
ation. It  was  during  these  months  that  the  opposition 
set  in,  infiltrating  the  staff,  influencing  staff  sensibili- 
ties, and  gaining  key  positions  in  an  attempt  to  guide 
the  paper's  direction  once  the  transition  in  classes  was 
complete. 

Defending  himself  against  charges  of  ""sell-outism". 
Editor  Shain  pointed  out  the  historic  implications  of  the 
BeeGees  music  in  South  Africa,  where  despite  apart- 
heid rule,  Saturday  Night  Fever,  an  integrated  record 
package,  sold  well  among  the  white  youth,  influencing 
cultural  development  in  the  racist  state  and  inhibiting 
racist  consciousness.  Shain  also  added  that  the  current 
disco  trend,  internationally,  offers  youth  more  opportu- 
nity to  socialize  than  ever  before.  Rejecting  cultural 
forms  is  one  thing,  but  prohibiting  their  practice  is 
quite  another.  As  far  as  the  Beatles/BeeGees  angle 
goes,  "hell,  it  only  works  if  you  put  such  a  high  premium 
on  the  Beatles  to  begin  with.  That's  what  those  Resi- 
dentialites  don't  understand.  They're  the  ones  who 
have  fallen  for  the  slick  commercial  media  image  —  the 
Beatles.  All  I  am  doing  is  covering  the  BeeGee  back- 
wash." 

According  to  Ross  Nerenberg,  former  music  editor, 
there  is  nothing  wrong  with  liking  something  even  if 
other  people  do.  "Hell,  I've  been  liking  music  that  other 
people  happen  to  like  for  years.  In  fact,  if  my  friends 
over  in  Leach  don't  like  a  record,  well,  I  dispose  of  it  at 
a  convenient  market  repository."  Ross  likes  the  Beatles 
and  as  yet  has  no  firm  opinions  on  the  BeeGee/Framp- 
ton  remake,  claiming,  "I've  gott'a  consider  that  Aeros- 
mith  is  in  on  it  too  and  they're  one  of  my  favorite 
bands." 

As  momentum  gathered  for  the  fateful  day  in  August, 
Shain  conferred  with  Mario  A.  Barros,  incoming  assis- 
tant editor,  on  the  dilemma.  Agreeing  that  such  a  con- 
frontation with  hoardes  of  deranged  Residential  Luna- 
tics was  unnecessary,  the  Collegian  editorial  board  was 
consulted  and  it  was  determined  that  the  paper  would 
follow  a  ""wait  and  see"  policy,  reflecting  the  boards  . 
unwilingness  to  commit  itself  to  any  direction  after  the 
events  of  last  spring. 

Waiting  patiently  for  signs  of  cultural  terrorism,  the 
fine  arts  weekly  was  a  sitting  duck.  And  then  it  hap- 
pened. Acting  almost  spontanously,  the  Collegian  of- 
fices were  taken  over  by  throngs  of  confused  and  be- 
wildered Residential  Lunatics  demanding  an  end  to 
preferential  coverage  of  mainstream  activities,  igno- 
rance of  the  masses,  and  support  for  suicidal  and  self- 
destructive  lifestyles.  Countering  Shain's  direct  ap- 
proach, with  an  alternating  current,  the  RMLB  (SP) 
sought  and  succeeded  in  turning  the  Below  the  Salt 
corner  of  the  Collegian  into  a  veritable  three-ring  cir- 
cus. Finally  and  in  the  main,  it  was  the  fever  pitch  of 
excitement  reached  during  the  "We  have  Dean  Corll  on 
our  side"  chant  and  the  ""1,2,3,4  We  love  Gary  Gilomer" 
sing-a-long  that  forced  the  fine  arts  editor  to  announce 
the  desolution  of  the  Salt.  Amidst  a  thunderous  and 
tumultous  applause,  K.  Stephen  and  his  weary  band  of 
journalists  retreated  to  an  adjacent  room  to  begin  plan- 
ning their  upcoming  bi-weekly  general  interest  feature 
magazine.  Not  operating  under  the  auspices  of  a  giant 
and  insidous  cultural  monoply  syndicate,  the  new  maga- 
zine will  not  be  afraid  to  thumb  its  nose  at  anyone  but 
will  also  not  be  intimidated  into  thumbing  its  nose  at 
anyone.

or  those  of  you  who  are 
wondering  what  WSYL-FM  is 
all  about,  here's  your  chance 
to  find  out.  WSYL  is  the 
Sylvan  area  radio  station  run 
by  the  Sylvan  Area 
Government  and  is  in  the 
basement  of  Cashin  House.  It 
transmits  500,000  milliwatts 
at  an  assigned  frequency  of 
97.7.  WSYL  is  a  non-profit 
organization  in  which  the 
disc  jockeys  don't  need  to 
be  licensed,  because  500,000 
mw  is  too  small  to  warrant  a 
license  for  use  of  the  air 
waves. 

The  listening  audience  is 
primarily  from  Sylvan, 
although  Northeast  and 
(under  some  conditions)  a 
few  other  areas  can  recieve 
the  broadcast. 

Senior  Rich  Multzman  has 
been  the  engineer  ever  since 
the  fall  of  1977,  which  was 
when  the  station  started. 
Rich  is  the  only  person  who 
fully  understands  how  the 
station  is  runj  we'll  miss  him. 

Kay  Ward  and  Cliff 
McCarthy  were  co-directors 
of  the  station  this  year.  The 
director  and  engineer  are

Most  UMass  students  do  not  realize  that  this  campus 
houses  a  professional  public  radio  station  known  nation- 
ally for  its  programming.  That  station  is  WFCR,  88.5 
on  the  FM  dial.  WFCR  is  a  co-operative  effort  of  the 
Five  Colleges  housed  in  Hampshire  House  on  Massa- 
chusetts Avenue,  only  a  few  feet  from  Southwest. 

WFCR  is  not  a  "training  ground";  the  operation 
and  most  of  the  announcing  is  handled  by  a  full-time 
staff  of  fourteen  professionals,  with  help  from  a  half- 
dozen  students  from  the  Five  College  area.  Student 
employees  have  generally  learned  the  ropes  of  radio 
elsewhere  and  have  passed  a  rigid  production  test 
before  being  hired. 

The  station  broadcasts  in  stereo  twenty  hours  a 
day  with  35,CXX)  watts  of  power  to  a  listening  area 
that  covers  six  states  and  many  thousands  of  lis- 
teners. 

The  format  of  WFCR  is  comprised  of  classical 
music  and  public  affairs  programming,  with  some 
jazz  and  Spanish  music  as  well.  Offerings  in  the 
classical  music  area  include  local  programs  like  "Pedal 
Point",  "Daybreak",  and  "Music  for  Night  People",  re- 


corded concerts  by  the  New  York  Philharmonic,  the 
Chicago  Symphony  and  other  renowned  orchestras, 
and  "Morning  Pro  Musica",  a  five  hour  program  each 
morning     originating     in     Boston     and     broadcast 
throughout  the  Northeast.  The  public  affairs  pro- 
gramming  includes   recorded   addresses   from   the 
Five  Colleges  and  a  wide  variety  of  news  and  feature 
programs  from  National  Public  Radio,  a  nationwide 
non-commercial  network  of  which  WFCR  is  a  mem- 
ber. Both  the  fulltime  and  part-time  staff  work  hard 
to  present  a  diversified  range  of  programs  while 
maintaining  high  air  quality  standards,  and  the  lis- 
teners seem  to  appreciate  this.  WFCR  currently  has 
over  5,000  members  in  its  six-state  listening  area, 
each  contributing  ten  dollars  or  more  annually  to 
the  station's  operation.  Additional  funding  comes 
from  the  Five  Colleges  and  a  number  of  private 
and  public  grants.

The  undergraduate  Student  Senate  is  composed  of  120  students  elect- 
ed from  their  respective  residential  areas.  Senators  have  the  responsi- 
bility of  keeping  their  constituencies  informed  on  issues  which  arise 
during  the  year.  These  include  tuition  and  fee  increases,  academic  and 
residential  policy,  delivery  of  student  services  or  the  general  lack  there- 
of, and  policy  as  it  relates  to  Recognized  Student  Organizations  (RSO) 
groups. 

The  Senate's  main  responsibility  is  to  disperse  over  $1.3  million  in 
Student  Activities  taxes  (SATF)  collected  each  year.  The  Senate  consid- 
ers requests  for  funding  from  various  student  groups  and  the  Budgets 
Committee  develops  a  budget  for  the  coming  year.  Student  groups  are 
recognized  by  the  Senate,  and  any  ten  students  may  form  a  RSO  group. 
Presently  there  are  over  400  such  groups  on  campus.  The  Senate  also 
funds  activities,  programs,  and  cultural  activities  which  enrich  the 
entire  university  community.  These  activities  have  included  free  con- 
certs, movies,  conferences,  lectures,  and  other  special  events. 

The  Senate  has  continually  worked  towards  a  goal  of  students  having 
more  of  a  control  over  decisions  that  affect  them,  instead  of  passively 
accepting  Administration  directives  concerning  our  majors,  electives, 
housing,  food,  and  general  student  services.  Over  4,000  students  are 
involved  in  some  aspect  of  student  government  and  student  organiza- 
tions.

We  are  a  volunteer,  student  organized,  managed,  and 
staffed  photography  co-op  with  a  discount  store.  We 
exist  for  two  reasons.  The  first  is  to  provide  the  univer- 
sity community  with  photographic  services  which  will 
benefit  all  students.  The  second  is  to  establish  a  social 
organization  which  will  provide  a  forum  for  all  interest- 
ed UMass  photo  enthusiasts. 

We  sell  every  item  and  service  at  the  store  at  low, 
student  discount  prices.  We  are  interested  in  providing 
our  fellow  students  with  the  best  possible  photographic 
services  that  are  available  with  our  resources. 


On  March  31,  1975,  the  University  of  Massachusetts  Student  Federal 
Credit  Union  opened  its  doors  for  service  as  one  of  the  most  unique 
financial  institutions  in  the  world.  It  started  during  the  fall  of  1974  when  a 
group  of  students  from  the  Student  Government  Association  began  investi- 
gating the  possibility  of  students  handling  their  own  financial  needs.  Their 
research  led  them  to  the  National  Credit  Union  Administration  which  had  a 
pilot  program  for  student  credit  unions.  By  March  1975,  the  credit  union 
received  a  charter  from  NCUA  which  allowed  members  money  to  be 
insured  up  to  $40,CXX)  by  the  federal  government. 

A  credit  union  is  a  cooperative  association  of  people  with  a  common 
bond,  organized  to  promote  thrift  and  create  a  source  of  credit  for  the 
membership  by  pooling  members  savings  to  make  loans  at  reasonable 
interest  rates.  Although  our  common  bond  to  the  University  is  somewhat 
unique,  the  principle  of  this  student  credit  union  remains  the  sames  we  are 
a  democratic  institution,  run  by  members  in  order  to  serve  members 
needs. 

In  its  three  years  of  existence  the  credit  union  has  grown  to  become  the 
largest  and  most  successful  student  credit  union  in  the  country.  This  has 
been  accomplished  by  an  all-volunteer  staff  (approximately  eighty-five 
students  in  1978)  which  offers  the  following  services  to  the  members:  high 
interest  savings,  low  cost  loans,  bank  checking,  used  car  valuation,  travel- 
ers check  and  money  order  sales,  and  food  stamp  redemption.  Our  present 
level  of  3,400  members  and  almost  one  -  half  million  dollars  in  assets 
signifies  our  success  in  the  University  community.  In  addition,  we  have 
given  out  over  one-half  million  dollars  in  loans  to  almost  1,000  students  who, 
in  most  cases,  would  be  unable  to  obtain  credit  elsewhere. 

The  growth  and  success  of  the  University  of  Massachusetts  Student 
Federal  Credit  Union  is  certainly  a  credit  to  all  students  on  the  Amherst 
campus  and  proves  what  people  can  do  when  they  get  together  for  a 
common  purpose.

For  many  people  on  campus,  the  sight 
of  a  greasy  hamburger  or  a  smoke-filled 
cafeteria  does  little  for  the  appetite.  It  is 
with  these  folks  in  mind  that  Earthfoods 
exists. 

Earthfoods  is  a  vegetarian  restaurant. 
A  student-run,  non-profit  collective, 
Earthfoods  was  started  two  years  ago  by 
a  small  group  of  people  in  dire  need  of 
good  food  and  a  comfortable  place  to  eat. 
By  approaching  the  Student  Senate  and 
gaining  RSO  status,  these  students  were 
able  to  realize  their  desire.  There  have 
been  growing  pains  but  the  venture  is 
now  maturing  so  that  today  Earthfoods 
employs  twenty  workers  and  fills  at  least 
400  stomachs  each  day. 


In  addition  to  feeding  the  community, 
Earthfoods  also  provides  an  alternative 
work  experience.  As  a  collective  there 
are  no  hierarchical  positions  and  each 
worker  is  equally  responsible  for  the  suc- 
cessful functioning  of  Earthfoods.  The 
work  is  shared  and  everyone  is  expected 
to  cook  and  serve  as  well  as  scrub  pots. 
Earthfoods  is  unique  among  collectives  in 
that  there  is  not  a  coordinator.  At  times 
the  anarchy  produces  confusion  but  more 
often  what  develops  is  a  glorious  quiche 
and  a  sense  of  the  amazing  powers  of 
cooperation. 

Earthfoods  also  provides  an  outlet  for 
area  musicians  who  are  invited  to  play  for 
tips  and  a  free  meal.  The  live  singing  and 


music  making  is  a  welcome  relief  from 
the  sounds  which  permeate  the  Student 
Union  and  Campus  Center. 

The  food  at  Earthfoods  is  delicious  as 
well  as  nutritious.  Using  fresh,  unpro- 
cessed produce,  dairy  products,  and 
grains,  the  entire  meal  is  created  the 
same  day  it  is  served.  Even  the  most 
clogged  noses  can't  miss  the  olfactory 
delights  which  seep  from  the  kettles  and 
ovens  to  spill  into  the  halls  of  the  Student 
Union. 

With  the  support  of  the  University, 
Earthfoods  will  continue  to  learn  and 
grow  while  providing  nutritional  vegetar- 
ian meals  at  the  lowest  possible  cost  and 
in  a  friendly,  easy  style.

The  People's  Market  is  a  collective 
food  store  run  entirely  by  students  at 
UMass.  The  People's  Market  was  official- 
ly opened  on  February  12,  1973.  Originally 
financed  by  a  loan  from  the  Commuter 
Collective,  the  idea  of  a  student-run  co- 
operative food  store  was  brought  to  frui- 
tition  through  the  efforts  of  many  people. 
The  first  two  co-ordinators,  Ellen  Gavin 
and  Gail  Sullivan,  believed  that  the  Mar- 
ket would  be  a  political  place  which  would 
help  people   to  gain   more   control   over 


what  they  eat. 

The  original  number  of  ten  part-time 
workers  has  doubled  in  five  years.  In  ad- 
dition to  the  part-time  paid  staff  of  twen- 
ty, there  is  a  volunteer  program  through 
which  volunteers  can  receive  food  credit. 
The  variety  of  items  stocked  at  the  Mar- 
ket has  grown  enormously  in  response  to 
student  requests.  Products  are  purchased 
mainly  from  other  co-ops  or  small  busi- 
nesses run  by  one  or  two  people. 

Political  issues  are  often  discussed  at 


meetings  and  several  boycotts  are  ob- 
served. However,  because  the  back- 
grounds and  ideas  of  the  workers  are  var- 
ied, many  times  it  is  hard  to  reach  deci- 
sions. It  must  be  pointed  out  that  the 
collective  organization  and  non-hierar- 
chical structure  is  a  political  statement  in 
itself. 

With  the  help  and  support  of  the 
UMass  community,  the  People's  Market 
and  other  co-ops  can  grow  and  continue 
to  offer  students  an  alternative.

The  name  Rob  Gilbert  strikes  fear  in  the  hearts  of 
most  Cosmic  Wimpout  players.  As  the, reigning 
World  Champion  of  Cosmic  Wimpout,  he  has  been 
nearly  undefeatable  for  two  years.  Yet,  I  was  deter- 
mined to  do  just  that  at  the  Third  Annual  Cosmic 
Wimpout  Tournament  held  April  20  at  the  Bluewall. 

Cosmic  Wimpout  is  a  dice  game  brought  from  the 
logging  camps  in  Eugene,  Oregon,  by  two  "travelers" 
about  four  years  ago.  Today,  it  is  played  in  over 
thirty  states  as  well  as  in  Japan,  Australia,  and  Eng- 
land. But  no  where  is  it  as  popular  as  at  UMass, 
where  the  tournament  has  been  held  in  the  Bluewall 
since  1976. 

"There  is  something  about  the  Valley  that  attract- 
ed us,"  said  Snorky  Maverick,  one  of  the  original 
players.  "It's  sort  of  a  tradition  now.  Amherst  is  our 
spiritual  home." 

Everybody  who  is  anybody  in  wimpout  was  at  the 
tournament.  I  put  down  my  fifty  cents  entrance  fee 
and  met  my  first  round  opponents,  Bart  and  Peter. 
While  we  played,  we  talked  about  —  what  else?  - 
Cosmic  Wimpout. 

Bart  told<me  that  he  and  his  friends  play  their  own 
way.  They  play  to  1000,  but  take  compulsory  bong 
hits  when  passing  250,  500,  and  750.  One  of  the  good 
things  about  Wimpout  is  that  you  can  play  any  way 
you  want.  People  have  used  all  sort  of  new  rules  to 
play  by  and  have  developed  different  styles  of  play. 
Some  spin  around  to  roll,  some  jump  in  the  air.  Some 
seek  out  mountain  tops  or  caves  for  their  games.  I 
personally  like  playing  in  the  shower  .  . . 

The  games  went  by  fast.  To  reach  the  second 
round,  one  had  to  win  three  games  out  of  300.  After 
two  games,  I  had  won  one.  Then  in  the  third  game,  I 
rolled  a  Freight  Train!  Mathematically,  the  chances 


of  rolling  f  ive-of-a-kind  on  any  one  roll  is  46,656  to  I. 
That  feat  earned  me  200  points,  a  leather  pouch  for 
my  dice,  and  a  first  round  victory.  I  was  on  my  way! 

All  around  me  I  was  hearing  shouts  of  ecstacy  and 
moans  of  defeat  from  the  200  people  who  came  to 
play  Wimpout.  I  could  easily  see  that  Wimpout  brings 
out  the  crazy  element  in  people.  It  also  brings  out  the 
greedy  element.  In  Wimpout,  one  can  keep  rolling  as 
long  as  the  player  scores.  If  they  don't  score  on  a  roll, 
they  loose  all  the  points  for  that  roll.  Therefore,  the 
smart  Wimpout  player  knows  when  to  stop. 

"It's  like  life,"  said  Champion  Gilbert.  "The  more 
you  try  to  win,  the  more  you  have  to  lose.  You  can't 
want  to  win.  You  can't  be  greedy." 

Alas,  in  the  end  my  greed  won  out.  I  was  knocked 
out  of  the  tournament  in  the  third  round  by  a  rookie 
who  rolled  two  Freight  Trains  in  the  tournament,  an 
unprecedented  feat.  I  kept  repeating  to  myself  the 
old  adage,  "Wimpout  players  do  not  cry." 

My  conqueror  was,  in  turn,  conquered  by  a  might- 
ier player.  And  the  hundred  dollars  eventually  went 
to  an  expert  Wimpout  player  by  the  name  of  Gary 
Ginsberg.  However,  Gary  had  one  game  left  to  play, 
the  Championship  match  with  Rob  Gilbert.  That  was 
held  the  next  day  on  WMUA. 

Of  course,  age  and  experience  were  just  too  much 
for  Gary  to  handle.  In  a  very  exciting  match,  broad- 
cast live  on  the  radio,  Rob  Gilbert  became  the  Unde- 
feated Cosmic  Wimpout  Champion  of  the  World. 

As  for  myself,  I  have  an  entire  year  to  practice  up 
for  the  next  tournament.  I  still  play  every  day,  and  I 
keep  my  dice  under  a  pyramid  when  not  in  use  . .  .

The  Strategy  Games  Club  at  UMass 
is  dedicated  to  the  idea  that  any  form 
of  competition  can  be  fun.  Thus,  any 
type  of  game  or  activity  with  a  con- 
flict nature  is  welcome.  The  members 
of  the  Club  have  dozens  of  kinds  of 
games  ranging  from  sports  games  such 
as  Strat-O-Mat  Baseball  to  such  con- 
flict games  as  "War  in  the  East",  a 


World  War  II  game.  A  typical  meeting 
will  find  anything  from  a  game  of  whist 
(a  form  of  bridge)  to  a  giant  tactics 
scenario,  a  miniature  combat  situation. 
The  Club  is  not  made  up  of  a  certain 
major  nor  of  a  special  interest  group. 
We  have  people  of  all  types  of  studies, 
majors,  etc.  There  is  no  financial  obli- 
gation to  the  club  and  the  only  policy 


asked  of  the  members  is  a  true  desire 
to  share  their  game  materials  with  ev- 
eryone. A  new  member  could  enter 
empty-handed  and  there  would  defi- 
nitely be  a  game  he  could  play  or  at 
least  someone  who  would  be  happy  to 
teach  it  to  him  or  her. 


Fencing  is  an  art  and  a  sport.  During  the 
summer  of  '77  I  decided  to  play  Zorro  and 
check  out  Fencing  1.  It  proved  to  be  a  valuable 
lesson  in  stamina  and  skill.  Mere  desire  was  not 
enough  to  make  a  successful  fencer.  Hard  work 
and  natural  ability  are  required. 

The  foil,  a  sword  with  a  rubber  tip,  is  the 
practice  weapon  that  is  taught  at  UMass.  The 
training  consists  of  teaching  fencers  distance, 
attacks,  and  defense.  Target  areas  are  only  the 
torso.  The  epee  and  saber  use  the  entire  body 
as  target.  They  differ  in  that  epee  scores  by 
thrusts,  and  point  contact,  which  is  similar  to 
the  foil.  The  saber  allows  both  thrusts  and  cuts 
or  slashes  on  any  part  of  the  body. 

The  fall  semester  of  '78  will  be  the  first  time 
UMass  will  compete  against  others  in  this 
sport.  The  club  consists  of  novices  at  the  foil, 
fencers  with  under  two  years  of  experience, 
and  a  few  people  with  ability  in  epee  and  saber. 
With  our  large  student  population  many 
fencers  must  be  around  the  school  and  to  be  a 
success  talent  is  always  needed.

The  goal  of  the  UMass  Sport  Parachute  Club,  which  has  been  an 
active  RSO  group  for  many  years,  is  to  introduce  and  promote 
sport  parachuting  within  the  Five  College  Community.  Students 
and  faculty  at  the  Five  Colleges  are  offered  the  chance  to  partici- 
pate in  the  sport  at  about  half  the  cost  a  commercial  parachuting 
center  would  charge.  The  club  has  its  own  parachute  gear  which  is 
available  for  use  by  club  members  at  no  cost.  During  good  weather 
training  is  given  on  a  weekly  basis  by  a  qualified  instructor.  First  jump 
students  are  given  approximately   three  hours  of   intense  classroom 
insturction  including  familiarization  with  parachute  equipment,  airplane  exits, 
canopy  control,  landings,  and  emergency  procedures.  Next,  students  go  through 
two  to  three  hours  of  practical  ground  training  at  the  drop  zone  at  Turners  Falls 
Airport.  They  rehearse  exits  using  an  airplane  mock-up,  and  also  practice  malfunc- 
tion procedures  and  landings.  Following  the  ground  training  (weather  permitting) 
the  jumpmaster  takes  the  student  up  2800  feet  to  make  the  first  jump.  After  the  jump 
students  are  critiqued  on  their  performance  by  the  jumpmaster  and  is  given  an 
official  first  jump  certificate  as  a  memento  of  the  accomplishment. 
Sport  Parachuting  is  very  safty  oriented;  students  must  display  adequate 
proficiency  at  each  level  of  progression  throughout  student  status  before 

(^  they  are  allowed  to  go  on  to  the  next  experience.  At  least  five  static  line 
^m  jumps  (where  the  chute  is  automatically  opened)  are  required  before 
^  students  are  allowed  to  make  freefall  jumps. 

On  the  last  three  static  line  jumps  students  practice  pulling  a  dummy 
ripcord  to  insure  that  they  will  pull  the  ripcord  for  themselves  when  they 
make  freefall  jumps.  The  students'  first  freefall  is  a  three  second  delay 
which  is  followed  by  progressively  longer  freefalls  along  with  maneuvers 
such  as  turning  and  horizontal  movement.  Throughout  the  student  pro- 
gression, the  novice  parachutist  is  closely  supervised  by  United  States 
Parachute  Association  certified  jumpmasters. 
Other  club  activities  include  parties  as  well  as  intersession  trips  to  Florida 


For  Several  weekends  through 
the  sifprner  of  1978  stalwart  indi- 
viduali^have  been  trekking  up  to 
the  V^ite  Mountains  of  New 
Hamp^ire  to  contribute  their 
time  ^r  the  construction  of  a 
cabin  |n  the  woods.  This  cabin 
was  jimt  aifdream  until  the  Fall  of 
1977  ^hen  an  eleven  member 
panel  was  formed  to  research  the 
proble|ns  of  buying  land  and 
buildir^  S-  cabin.  After  numerous 
land-search  expeditions,  a  site  in 
Bethlegem.  New  Hampshire,  was 


chosen.  Money  problems  came  up  imme- 
diately. The  Undergraduate  Student  Sen- 
ate was  consulted  with  the  hope  of  re- 
ceiving $90CX);  the  club  was  allowed 
$6000.  By  working  at  Spring  Concerts, 
holding  raffles,  and  other  fund  raising 
events,  the  money  was  raised. 

Construction  began  in  Jtine  of  1978  with 
the  clearing  of  the  land  arid  the  hauling  in 
of  materials.  A  parking^ot  w^  built  at  the 
base  of  the  mountain,  thef  oundation  laid, 
and  the  framework  went  up.  Progress 
through  the  summer  ^||Kf'<^?  ^"^  finally 
the  end  was  in  sight.  SBh^eginning  of 


September  '78  the  cabin  had  its  sides, 
flooi*,  and  roof  completed. 

The  basic  measurements  of  the  cabin 
are  16  by  40  feet,  with  a  sleeping  loft 
above  the  main  floor.  Heating  is  tg  be 
sup||ied  by  two  wood  burning  stoves.  The 
cabm  is  for  use  of  the  entire  University 
conT|mjnity,  with  members  of  the  Outinfe 
Clu^naving  priority.  A  larg^^urnout  is 
exp^ted  when  the  cabin  is  officially 
opened  in  October/November  1978. 


It's  not  whether  you  win  or 
lose,  but  how  you  play  the 
game. 


(Bullshit). 


Football 


It  ended  as  it  began.  Way  back  on  Sep- 
tember 2nd  a  quarterback  named  Leamon 
Hall  threw  five  touchdown  passes  to  lift 
Army  to  a  34-10  win  over  the  UMass  foot- 
ball team.  On  November  26  a  quarterback 
named  Mike  Rieker  threw  four  touchdown 
passes  to  end  Minutemen  hopes  of  a  na- 
tional Division  II  title  as  he  led  his  Lehigh 
teammates  to  a  30-23  win. 

Although  they  lost  the  play-off  game, 
the  fall  of  1977  was  a  season  to  remember. 
The  Yankee  Conference  title  was  back  in 
Amherst.  A  high  finish  in  the  final  Divi- 
sion II  poll  came  their  way.  An  eight  game 


winning  streak  sandwiched  between  losses 
to  Army  and  Boston  College  was  capped 
by  a  19-6  win  over  New  Hampshire  for  the 
Beanpot. 

They  had  New  England  coach  of  the 
year  Dick  MacPherson  who  left  UMass  in 
January  to  accept  an  assistant  coaching 
job  with  the  NFL's  Cleveland  Browns. 
They  had  a  determined  quarterback 
named  Mike  Fallon  who  recieved  honors 
for  his  leadership  and  achievements  on  the 
field.  They  also  had  one  of  the  best  rushing 
defenses  in  the  country. 

Even  though  the  season  ended  on  a  sour 
note  many  things  stood  out  from  the  year 
the  Beanpot  returned  to  UMass: 

—  An  offense  that  could  put  points  on 


the  board.  For  example,  the  Minutemen 
annihilated  Youngstown  State,  54-13  as 
Fallon  threw  five  touchdown  passes. 

—  An  interception  return  by  Steve  Le- 
May  for  100  yards  and  a  touchdown  put 
the  finishing  touches  on  a  41-16  win  over 
Boston  University. 

—  In  a  regionally  televised  win  over 
Harvard,  a  side  line  run  by  Dennis  Dent 
scored  the  winning  touchdown  that  high- 
lighted the  17-0  victory. 

—  A  37-6  win  over  Rhode  Island  in 
which  Fallon  again  took  command  by 
throwing  four  touchdown  passes. 

—  And  finally  the  19-6  New  Hampshire 
win  with  which  the  Minutemen  brought 
the  Beanpot  back  to  the  University.  Three 


186 


Dave  Crosdale  interceptions,  the  slaugh- 
tering of  Bill  Burnham,  a  miracle  punt  by 
John  Romboli,  the  touchdown  run  by 
Hank  "the  tank"  Sareault,  and  the  game- 
clinching  touchdown  pass  to  Romboli 
were  the  memorable  moments  of  the 
game. 

^  The  1977  Minuteman  team  stood  out 
naturally,  but  so  did  the  individual  players: 

—  The  offensive  line  which  provided 
exceptional  blocking  for  the  I  formation. 

—  Kevin  Cummings  return  from  knee 
surgery  to  reestablish  himself  as  the  top 
reciever  on  the  team. 

—  John  Gladchuk,  another  wide  receiv- 
er, made  catch  after  catch  with  his  sure 
hands. 


—  Billy  Coleman  ran  through  opposi- 
tion often  enough  to  gain  824  yards. 

—  Sareault  provided  the  perfect  com- 
pliment to  Coleman  from  his  fullback  po- 
sition. 

—  Dent  broke  many  a  game  open  with 
his  open  field  running  and  blazing  speed. 

—  Phil  Puopolo  wrapped  up  quarter- 
backs and  running  backs  with  equal 
aplomb. 

—  John  Willis  also  startled  the  opposi- 
tion with  a  strong  pass  rush  and  a  hunk 
against  the  run. 

—  Linebacker  Joe  McLaughlin  made  a 
made  a  habit  of  devouring  opposing  ball 
carriers. 

—  Peter  McCarty,  the  defensive  leader, 


played  his  usual  outstanding  brand  of  de- 
fense on  the  field. 

For  all  their  efforts  the  Minutemen  were 
selected  for  the  Division  II  play-offs,  only 
to  lose  to  Lehigh,  which  eventually  won 
the  national  title. 

For  the  1978  season  the  Minutemen 
have  moved  up  to  a  new  NCAA  classifica- 
tion, Division  I  AA.  Hopefully  the  high 
caliber  performances  of  the  fall  1977  sea- 
son will  continue  into  the  future.

Men's  Soccer 


Finishing  the  season  with  an  overall 
record  of  10-5,  the  1977  edition  of  the 
UMass  soccer  team  set  a  new  record  for 
wins  in  a  single  season  as  it  churned  its 
way  to  a  third  place  tie  in  the  Yankee 
Conference.  In  addition,  the  Minute- 
men  were  selected  to  play  in  the  ECAC 
Regional  Tournament,  where  they  were 
defeated  by  Adelphi  University  1-0. 

"It  was  a  very  gratifying  season  al- 
though we  were  passed  up  for  a  berth  in 
the  New  England  Division  One  Tour- 
nament," said  UMass  Coach  Russ 
Kidd.  "I  have  to  give  most  of  the  credit 
for  this  year's  success  to  the  seniors  for 
the  leadership  they  provided."  The  sen- 
iors that  Kidd  spoke  of  are:  Andy 
Moore,  Willie  Sorenson,  Ed  Niemec, 
Larry  Aronson,  and  goaltender  Mark 
Hodgdon. 

While  the  seniors  formed  the  back- 


bone of  the  team,  freshmen  Tasso 
Koutsoukos  and  junior  Joel  Mascolo 
provided  the  flashy  scoring  power  that 
helped  the  Minutemen  set  a  new  record 
for  goals  in  a  single  season  (36).  Kout- 
soukos led  in  scoring  with  13  goals  and 
3  assists  while  Mascolo  notched  7  goal§ 
and  7  assists  to  tie  the  UMass  record 
for  assists  in  a  single  season. 

Defensively  the  Minutemen  relied  on 
goaltender  Hogdon,  Aronson,  juniors 
Mike  St.  Martin  and  Pat  Veale,  and 
sophomore  Mark  Vassolotti  to  clear  the 
UMass  zone  of  attacking  forwards. 

"If  it  wasn't  for  the  three  straight 
losses  in  the  middle  of  the  season  to 
Vermont,  Harvard,  and  Boston  U.,  we 
would  have  probably  gained  a  berth  in 
the  New  England's  and  gained  some 
national  recognition,"  summed  up 
Kidd.

Women's  Soccer 


r  Women's  soccer  at  UMass  began  in  the 
fall  of  1976,  and  consisted  of  fourteen 
members  who  met  occasionally  to  scrim- 
mage. The  second  season  for  the  soccer 
club  in  the  fall  of  1977  was  totally  differ- 
ent. A  sign-up  sheet  revealed  that  seventy 
women  were  interested  in  playing,  but 
many  found  that  they  couldn't  meet  the 
time  commitment  and  weren't  able  to  par- 
ticipate. The  first  practice  began  with  fifty 
women  and  volunteer  coach  Louis  Ma- 
cedo,  who  was  later  assisted  by  Rick  Gal- 
lipo  and  Rick  Zanini. 

In  its  second  week  of  practice,  the  wom- 
en learned  that  they  had  received  RSO 
funding,  and  the  scheduling  of  games  was 
started.  The  team  used  the  RSO  funding, 
club  dues,  and  money  from  the  athletic 
department  to  buy  uniforms,  which  many 
team  members  recognized  as  a  positive  in- 
dication that  the  team  was  here  to  stay. 

The  women's  soccer  club  kicked  off  its 
season  with  a  victory  over  Smith  College. 


The  success  continued  as  the  team  kept, 
improving.  Consecutive  victories  over 
Mount  Holyoke  (two),  Dartmouth,  and 
Boston  College  proved  that  the  soccer  clubi 
could  indeed  play  competitive  soccer  oni 
the  collegiate  level.  The  winning  streak 
ended  at  the  Tufts  Tournament,  with  two 
losses  in  one  day. 

The  team  got  back  on  the  track  the  fol- 
lowing week  by  tying  Springfield  College 
in  a  tough  game.  The  next  competition 
which  the  team  faced  was  a  three-team 
tournament  held  at  UMass  against  the 
University  of  New  Hampshire  and 
UConn.  UMass  took  the  tournament  by 
winning  all  three  of  its  games,  playing 
UConn  once  and  the  University  of  New 
Hampshire  twice.  The  team  closed  out  its 
successful  season  a  week  later  with  a  3-0 
victory  over  UConn  on  their  home  field, 
tallying  a  final  record  of  eleven  wins,  two 
losses,  and  one  tie.

Volleyball 

In  September,  as  they  prepared  for  the 
season's  opener,  it  looked  to  be  a  building 
year  for  the  UMass  women's  volleyball 
team.  Only  four  members  of  the  final  ros- 
ter had  any  varsity  experience.  The  team 
consisted  mostly  of  sophomores  and  fresh- 
women.  It  was  only  Diane  Thompson's 
second  season  as  head  coach  and  just  the 
third  year  that  the  University  had  fielded  a 
volleyball  team. 

After  struggling  through  a  rocky  first 
half,  the  Spikers  came  of  age  in  the  last 
third  of  the  1977  season  and  finished  with 
an  impressive  record  of  11  wins  and  13 
losses.  Although  the  team  didn't  reach  the 
.500  mark,  their  victory  total  was  the  best 
for  any  volleyball  team  in  the  sport's  brief 
history  at  UMass. 

At  the  outset  of  the  season.  Coach 
Thompson  said  the  key  to  the  team's  suc- 


cess would  be  how  well  they  communicat- 
ed with  each  other  on  the  floor  during 
their  matches.  The  communication  wasn't 
evident  in  the  early  going  and  the  team's 
inexperience  was  obvious  as  they  repeated- 
ly failed  in  the  clutch,  dropping  their  first 
three  matches  to  UNH,  Vermorit,  and 
Bridgewater  State. 

In  their  fourth  match  of  the  season,  the 
spikers  showed  flashes  of  brillance,  push- 
ing a  powerful  Southern  Connecticut  team 
to  the  five  game  limit  before  dropping 
their  fourth  straight  match. 

The  team  finally  captured  their  first 
wins  versus  Salem  State  and  Northeas- 
tern. But  then  they  suffered  through  an- 
other streak  of  inconsistency  and  after 
eleven  games  had  only  two  victories. 

The  spikers  doubled  their  win  total  by 
victimizing  UMaine  (Orono)  and  Univer- 
sity of  Bridgeport  on  their  way  to  a  second 
place  finish  in  a  quad  match. 

Again  they  suffered  a  minor  relapse  into 
their  inconsistent  habits  and  dropped  their 
next  two  matches.  Fifteen  games  into  the 


season,  their  record  stood  at  four  wins, 
eleven  losses. 

It  was  at  this  point  that  things  began  to 
jell  for  the  squad  as  they  won  five  out  of 
their  next  six  matches.  The  wins  not  only 
gave  the  team's  confidence  a  boost  but 
also  kept  alive  the  dream  of  a  .500  season, 
the  team's  goal. 

The  dream  ended  as  the  spikers  lost  a 
five  game  match  (the  last  game  going  into 
overtime)  to  UConn  leaving  their  record 
at  nine  and  thirteen  with  two  matches  left 
to  play. 

Before  the  team's  final  tri-match, 
Thompson  informed  the  squad  that  their 
application  for  a  slot  in  the  state  volleyball 
tournament  had  been  rejected. 

Although  the  season  was  over  for  all 
practical  purposes,  the  team  refused  to 
just  play  out  the  slate.  Instead,  the  women 
came  up  with  one  of  their  strongest  perfor- 
mances of  the  season,  defeating  Westfield 
State  and  Keene  State  without  losing  a 
game  on  their  way  to  a  first  place  finish  in 
the  tri-match.

Field  Hockey 

The  field  hockey  team  was  the  most  suc- 
cessful team  in  the  fall  season.  Under  sec- 
ond year  Coach  Judith  Davidson,  the 
team,  solid  with  veterans  and  boulstered 
with  second  year  varsity  players,  stretched 
a  season  of  fourteen  games  to  a  school 
record  of  twenty-two,  traveling  over  3,500 
miles  in  the  process. 

The  stickers  swept  through  New  Eng- 
land competition  and  climaxed  its  season 
by  placing  seventh  in  the  National  play- 
offs in  Denver,  Colorado. 

It  was  an  experienced  team  with  a  new 
attitude  as  it  started  its  season  differently 
by  beating  perennial  power  Springfield 
College  1-0.  Behind  Cheryl  Meliones  goals 
and  Kathy  Gipps  shutouts,  the  stickers 
beat  seven  other  teams  in  a  row  before 
tasting  defeat  and  ending  the  regular  sea- 
son with  a  8-2-4  record. 

From  there,  it  was  on  to  the  Northeast 


Intercollegiate  Championships 
at  Harvard  University.  Lynsie 
Wickman,    Sue    Kibling,    and 
Laura    O'Neil    scored    game 
winning  goals  as  UMass  beat 
Maine,     Dartmouth,     and 
Springfield  again  to  advance  to  the  finals 
for  its  fourth  game  in  two  days.  A  loss  to 
Connecticut  in  the  finals  kept  UMass  from 
a  Northeast  Championship  but  not  from 
qualifying  for  the   Nationals  in   Denver. 
Coach  Davidson  and  fourteen  players  ar- 
rived in  Denver  seeded  thirteenth  among 
sixteen  of  the  nation's  top  teams.  All  the 
enthusiam  for  a  championship  was  quickly 
abandoned   as   the   stickers   suffered    an 
opening  2-0  loss  to  Deleware. 

But  the  offense  came  alive  in  its  next 
two  games,  beating  Arizona  and  Bemidji 
State  4-1  in  each  game.  Coach  Davidson 
said  that  the  wins  were  "the  best  field 
hockey  played  by  any  team  at  the  Cham- 
pionships." 

A  1-0  loss  to  sixth  ranked  Connecticut 
ended  the  season  for  the  stickers,  and 
placed  them  seventh. 


The  long  season  was  a  culmination  of 
four  years  of  hard  work  of  six  seniors,  Judy 
Kennedy,  Ginger  Bulman,  Cheryl  Me- 
liones, Sue  Kibling,  Kelley  Sails,  and 
Kathy  Gipps,  and  each  contributed  to  its 
success.  Offense  players  Kennedy,  Bulman 
Kibling,  and  Meliones  scored  important 
goals,  while  defensive  back  Sails  added 
one  in  the  Nationals  but,  along  with 
sweeper  Gayle  Hutchinson  and  goalie 
Gipps,  was  mainly  responsible  for  the 
team's  strongest  point,  its  defense.  Gipps 
recorded  nine  shutouts  over  the  three 
month  season,  with  a  .81  goals  against 
average,  proving  her  as  one  of  the  nation's 
best  at  her  position. 

Another  valuable  aspect  of  the  seniors 
which  cannot  be  measured  was  the  win- 
ning attitude  taught  to  the  "younger  play- 
ers" as  they  carry  on  a  successful  tradition. 
Julie  McHugh,  Julie  Hall,  Sue  Kreider, 
Laurel  Walsh,  and  Laura  O'Neil  each 
contributed  and  improved  with  the  added 
experience,  while  Lynsie  and  Jody  Wick- 
man, along  with  Gayle  Hutchinson  com- 
bine as  three  top  New  England  players.

Men's  Cross-Country 


"It's  been  a  long  time  fiMe  we  last 
brought  home  the  silverware,"  said 
UMass  head  Coach  Ken  O'Brien  as  he 
clutched  the  twenty  pound  IC4A  cham- 
Ipionship  trophy,  emblematic  of  the  best 
college  and  university  cross  country  team 
in  the  East.  One  week  later,  O'Brien  and 
peven  members  of;  the  squad  took  the 
i'cross  country"  trip  to  Spokane,  Washing- 
ton, for  the  NCAA  championships,  where 
UMass  finished  as  the  19th  best  team  in 
the  country,  and  two  All- American  honors 
were  garnered. 

Junior  co-captian  Mike  Quinn,  and  ju- 
nior transfer  from  Providence  College, 
Stetson  Arnold,  were  accorded  All- Ameri- 
can status  for  having  finished  in  the  top 
field  of  fifty.  Quinn's  16th  spot  earned  him 
the  honor  foj,the  second  consecutive  year, 


while  Arnold,  absent  for  two  years,  was 
honored  for  the  second  time  with  the  23rd 
overall  spot. 

Besides  stand-outs  Quinn  and  Arnold, 
the  team  was  deep  and  talented.  Senior 
captain  Frank  Carroll,  junior  Kevin 
McCusker,  junior  Louis  Panaccione,  and 
brothers  Tom  and  Matt  Wolff  helped  the 
harriers  compile  a  9-2  dual  meet  season. 
The  only  loses  were  to  Providence  College 
and  the  University  of  New  Hampshire, 
but  O'Brien's  men  achieved  their  eighth 
straight  Yankee  Conference  title,  a  strong 
second  place  finish  in  the  New  Englands, 
the  IC4A  Eastern  title,  and  a  19th  overall 
place  in  the  country.

iVomen's  Cross-Country 


Coach  Ken  O'Brien's  women's  cross 
country  team  entered  its  season  with  great 
expectations  and  the  resources  to  carry 
them  out.  O'Brien  had  brought  in  a  new 
coach,  nationally  known  distance  runner 
Charlotte  Lettis,  a  former  UMass  runner, 
to  coach  the  women. 

To  do  the  legwork,  three  seniors  were 
returning,  along  with  three  other  letter 
winners.  A  promising  group  of  fresh- 
women  runners  were  also  enrolled,  which 
led  Lettis  to  comment  after  the  first  meet 
of  the  season,  "We'll  be  a  better  team  than 
last  year,  and  definitely  as  deep." 

When  the  season's  log  was  checked,  the 
Minutewomen  had  gone  undefeated  for 
the  third  year  in  a  row  in  dual  meets  and 


had  defended  their  title  in  the  Brandeis 
Invitational. 

Although  veteran  co-captain  Jane  Wel- 
zel  had  led  the  team  throughout  the  regu- 
lar season,  when  the  post-season  came,  it 
was  a  freshwoman  who  stepped  out  to  lead 
the  squad.  In  both  the  New  England  meet 
and  the  Eastern's,  frosh  Tina  Francario  of 
Brockton  turned  in  improving  and  out- 
standing performances.  In  the  NE  meet, 
she  was  eighth,  leading  the  Minutewomen 
to  their  second  consecutive  second  place 
finish.  In  the  Eastern's,  Francario  was 
even  more  impressive,  again  finishing 
eighth  and  again  leading  the  women  to 
their  second  consecutive  third  place  finish 
in  that  meet. 


"I  haven't  peaked  yet,"  said  the  lithe 
harrier  after  the  final  race  of  the  season, 
"and  I  don't  think  I  ever  have  -  the  season 
always  ends."  That  certainly  bodes  well 
for  the  next  three  years  of  UMass  women's 
cross  country. 

The  consistent  Welzel  was  the  second 
UMass  harrier  across  the  line  in  both 
meets,  completing  an  impresive  career  at 
UMass.  Ably  rounding  out  the  top  seven 
in  the  post-season  meets  and  during  the 
season  were  senior  co-captain  Sue  Swartz, 
junior  Debbie  Farmer,  sophomore  Barb 
Callanan  and  frosh  Priscilla  Wilson  and 
Linda  Welzel.

Men's  Basketball 


"Just  couldn't  stop  when  the  spark  got 

hot." 

That  was  taken  from  "Disco  Inferno",  a 
song  from  Saturday  Night  Fever,  a  movie 
which  enjoyed  great  success  when  the 
Minutemen  were  in  basketball  action  from 
the  end  of  November  to  the  end  of  March. 
And  yet,  that  song  fits  the  77-78  edition 
of  Coach  Jack  Leaman's  squad  as  when 
"the  spark  got  hot",  the  Lea-men  were 
invincible,  knocking  off  highly  touted 
Holy  Cross,  Villanova,  George  Washing- 
ton and  Pittsburgh,  while  losing  to  Provi- 
dence by  a  single  point. 

But  the  minutemen's  season-ending 
spark  turned  toward  frostbite  as  they  fell 
victim  to  less-than-formidable  UConn, 
Maine  and  New  Hampshire  and  had  a 
disappointing  showing  against  Duquesne 
in  the  EAA  playoffs.  UMass  finished  with 
a  15-12  (5-5  EAA)  record. 
It  was  a  year  of  many  trials. 
On  January  17th,  the  Minutemen  were 
emotionally  recovering  from  a  literal  near 
death  situation.  Four  hours  after  a  deject- 
ed Lea-men  squad  lost  in  embarassing 
fashion  to  UConn,  the  roof  of  the  Hart- 
ford Civic  Center  caved  in. 

Then,  on  February  7th,  just  a  few  days 
after  UMass  had  finished  its  intersession, 
the  entire  state  was  bracing  itself  for  the 
snowstorm  of  the  decade. 

As  a  result  of  the  blizzard,  Leaman's 
squad  had  to  play  nine  games  in  the  space 
of  16  days.  Six  came  within  a  span  of  seven 
days.  Pure  NBA  stuff. 

Physically,  Leaman  needed  all  the  men 
he  could  suit  up  due  to  the  Asian  flu, 
which  caused  the  majority  of  the  campus 
to  flood  the  infirmary.  Mike  Pyatt,  Brad 
Johnson,  Jay  Stewart  and  Mark  Haymore 
were  all  struck  with  the  illness. 

Added  to  that  was  All-New  England, 
Connecticut  Classic  MVP,  EAA  and 
ECAC  Division  I  player  of  the  week  Alex 
Eldridge  injuring  knee  ligaments  and  thus 
missing  three  games  and  being  used  spar- 
ingly in  the  EAA  championships. 

But  the  Minutemen  displayed  flashes  of 
brilliance.  This  team  certainly  had  talent, 
charisma,  and  showmanship.  "Boob"  (El- 
dridge), "D"  (team  captain  Derick  Clai- 
borne), "E-Man"  (Eric  Williams), 
"Dunk"  (Mark  Haymore),  "Bad  Brad" 
(Brad  Johnson)  along  with  Mike  Pyatt, 
Billy  Morrison,  Lenny  Kohlhaas,  Chuck 
Steveskey  and  Tom  Witkos  all  made  con- 
tributions to  this  team. 


The  good  times.  Yes,  there  were  some. 
Certainly  the  game-ending  30  foot  bomb 
by  Williams  to  upset,  nationally-ranked 
Holy  Cross;  the  complete  domination  of  a 
Villanova  squad  which  eventually  lost  in 
the  quarterfinals  of  the  NCAA  tourna- 
ment; the  8-0  record  in  the  month  of  De- 
cember which  climaxed  in  the  taking  of 
the  UConn  Classic;  and  solid  victories 
over  George  Washington  and  Pittsburgh 
all  were  moments  to  remember. 

Statistically,  it  was  a  very  good  year  for 
the  senior-laden  UMass  squad.  The  New 
York  trio  of  Pyatt,  Claiborne  and  Eldridge 
were  quite  productive  as  they  broke  five 
UMass  records. 

Pyatt  broke  Julius  Erving's  career  scor- 
ing record  of  1370  total  points  on  Feb.  18 
and  hit  a  blistering  28  in  the  final  game  of 
the  season  against  Duquesne.  The  6'-6" 
senior  hit  13  of  17  shots  in  that  game  and 
finished  with  1503  career  points. 

Claiborne,  solid  and  consistent,  set  the 
record  for  most  games  played  in  a  career 
(107,  breaking  the  old  record  of  83)  and 
most  consecutive  games  played  (91,  break- 
ing the  old  record  of  79). 

Against  New  Hampshire,  Claiborne  hit 
for  his  1000th  point,  giving  UMass  two 
1000-point  guards  in  the  same  backcourt. 
Claiborne  scored  1033  points  in  his  four- 
year  career. 

Undoubtedly,  1978  was  Eldridge's  best 
year.  He  now  holds  the  record  for  most 
assists  in  one  year  (174)  and  most  assists  in 
a  career  (518).  He  scored  a  career  total  of 
1053  points. 

Eldridge  was  named  to  the  U.S.  Basket- 
ball Writers  All-New  England  (District  I) 
first  team  and  was  twice  named  to  the 
ECAC  Division  I  weekly  basketball  team 
as  co-player  of  the  week. 

Haymore,  a  transfer  from  Indiana, 
averaged  14  points  a  game  and  set  a  school 
record  for  the  highest  goal  percentage  in 
one  season.  For  most  of  the  year,  Haymore 
led  the  nation  in  this  category. 

The  final  loss  against  Duquesne  was 
tough  to  take  but  it  summed  up  the  season. 
Playing  so  brilliantly  at  times  and  then 
losing  momentum,  only  to  regain  it  and 
then  lose  it. 

The  spark  was  unable  to  get  hot  when 
UMass  needed  it.

Men's  Gymnastics 


With  a  win  over  Temple  on  February 
27,  the  UMass  men's  gymnastics  team 
ended  more  than  their  1977-78  season. 
The  win  also  brought  to  a  close  an  era 
which  saw  some  of  the  finest  gymnasts  in 
the  country  compete  for  UMass. 

Seniors  Dave  Kulakoff  and  John  For- 
shay  were  the  last  of  the  outstanding  com- 
petitors recruited  by  former  coach  Tom 
Dunn,  who  for  four  years  tried  to  build 
UMass  into  a  national  gymnastics  power. 
At  the  end  of  the  season,  Coach  Dick 
Swetman  also  left,  marking  the  end  of  a 
seven  year  Penn  State  coaching  dynasty 
that  also  included  Dunn  and  Bob  Koenig. 
Swetman  will  be  replaced  by  UMass  grad 
Roy  Johnson. 

The  team  compiled  a  6  and  5  record 
during   the   season,   including   surprising 


wins  against  Springfield  and  Temple. 
Those  wins  were  the  first  for  UMass 
against  those  in  three  years.  The  Spring- 
field win  also  gave  UMass  its  highest  point 
total  of  the  season:  193.25. 

The  finale  of  the  season  was  a  fifth  place 
tie  with  Springfield  in  the  Easterns.  Kula- 
koff was  upset  in  the  individual  competi- 
tion, losing  his  pommel  horse  title  to  Tony 
Williams  of  Southern  Conn.  John  Forshay 
finished  seventh  in  the  floor  exercises. 

Kulakoff  ended  his  college  gymnastics 
carrer  with  an  eleventh  place  finish  in  the 
NCAA  Division  One  Championships.  He 
missed  making  the  top  eight  finalists  by 
only  .15.  "I'm  just  glad  that  I  hit  both 
routines  and  scored  as  well  as  I  did,"  said 
Kulakoff  afterwards.

Il/omen's  Basketball 


For  the  UMass  women's  basketball 
team,  1978  can  best  be  summed  up  in  one 
word:  frustrating.  The  frustration  began  in 
September,  when  starting  center  and  co- 
captain  Lu-ann  Fletcher  tore  a  cartilidge 
in  her  knee  in  a  pick-up  game,  forcing  her 
to  miss  most  of  the  season. 

It  continued  in  January,  when  starting 
guard  Sue  Henry  left  the  team  due  to  aca- 
demic problems,  and  finally,  the  climax  of 
it  all  came  in  early  March,  when  Provi- 
dence ended  the  Minutewomen's  post  sea- 
son hopes  by  taking  a  61-67  verdict  in  the 
finals  of  the  Eastern  regionals.  Thus,  a 
season  which  had  once  looked  as  if  it 
might  have  been  of  vintage  quality  was 
reduced  to  a  series  of  might-have-beens 
and  what-ifs.  Not  helping  the  situation 
was  a  bizarre  schedule  which  saw  UMass 
play  only  three  cage  games.  However,  the 
fact  that  UMass  was  able  to  finish  the 
regular  season  at  13-6  and  be  chosen  for 
the  playoffs  was  testimony  to  the  ability  of 


the  Minutewomen  to  adapt  to  some  tough 
situations. 

In  particuliar,  sophomore  Sue  Peters, 
shown  at  her  guard  spot,  set  a  regular  sea- 
son scoring  record  with  over  400  points, 
and  also  established  a  single  game  record 
with  thirty-three  points  against  Vermont 
in  early  December. 

In  addition,  co-captain  Cheryl  Carey 
lent  a  steadying  influence  with  her  savvy 
and  general  hustle,  while  freshwomen 
Cathy  Harrington,  Julie  Ready,  Mary 
Hallaren,  and  transfer  junior  Jen  Parker 
also  displayed  potential. 

Highlights  included  a  season-starting 
five  game  streak,  a  one  point  loss  to  St. 
John's  in  overtime  (but  not  before  Henry 
heaved  in  a  last  second,  mid-court  shot  at 
the  end  of  regulation  to  tie  it),  and  a  thir- 
teen point  win  over  archrival  Springfield.

Women's  Gymnastics 


In  the  last  seven  years,  under  the  coach- 
ing expertise  of  head  coach  Virginia  Evans 
and  a  variety  of  assistants,  the  women's 
gymnastics  team  has  established  itself  as  a 
national  gymnastics  power. 

In  1973  the  team  captured  the  Associ- 
ation for  Intercollegiate  Athletics  for 
Women  (AIAW)  gymnastics  champion- 
ship. In  1974  and  1975  the  team  won  the 
Eastern  title  but  could  not  recapture  the 
national  crown.  This  season  the  team  fin- 
ished third  at  the  EIAW  championships 
and  eighth  in  the  national  championships. 

Evans  attributes  the  team's  finish  to  an 
unrelenting  flu  and  several  persistent  in- 
juries which  kept  the  starting  line  ups  in 
constant  rotation.  Despite  these  problems, 
the  team  finished  the  season  with  a  8-1 
record  and  entered  the  nationals  seeded 
twelfth.  UMass  also  has  the  distinction  of 
being  the  only  team  in  the  country  to  beat 
national  champions  Penn  State  during  the 
regular  season. 

Seniors  Stephanie  Jones,  Susan 
Cantwell,  and  Debra  Law  com.peted  for 
the  last  time  for  the  gymwomen  at  the 
AIAW  championships  in  April  in  Seattle. 

Despite  suffering  from  a  fractured  rib 
and  a  sprained  hip,  Jones  was  the  top 
UMass  competitor,  finishing  thirteenth  in 
the  all-around  competition. 


Jones  strongest  season  came  in  1976-77 
when  she  set  two  UMass  records  on  the 
uneven  parallel  bars  and  balance  beam.  By 
finishing  second  on  the  bars,  fifth  on  the 
beam,  and  tying  for  eighth  in  the  all 
around,  she  qualified  for  the  World  Uni- 
versity Game  Trials. 

Cantwell  has  been  a  highly  visible  mem- 
ber of  the  team  in  her  four  years  at 
UMass.  As  a  freshwoman,  she  was  named 
an  Ail-American  for  her  contribution  to 
the  tearh's  victory  in  the  Easterns.  Since 
then  she  has  been  a  consistently  strong 
contribution  to  the  team's  success. 
Cantwell  was  one  of  the  healthiest  gym- 
nasts this  season  and  culminated  her  four 
years  of  competition  by  finishing  twentieth 
in  the  all-around  competition  at  the  na- 
tionals. 

Law  was  also  a  member  of  the  1975 
eastern  championship  team.  She  concen- 
trated on  the  bars  this  year  and  was  one  of 
those  specializing  gymnasts  who  don't 
make  headlines  but  are  a  very  important 
part  of  the  team's  continuing  success. 

Freshwomen  Karen  Clemente,  Coleen 
Thorton,  and  Debbie  Smith  had  lots  of 
opportunity  to  compete  and  gain  exper- 
ience this  season.  Clemente  was  one  of 
four  regular  all-around  performers  and 
improved  steadily  throughout  the  season. 


Thorton  was  sidelined  with  a  back  injury 
but  appeared  to  be  regaining  stength  late 
in  the  season.  Smith  has  all-around  poten- 
tial but  specialized  on  the  floor  for  most  of 
the  season. 

Sophomores  Karen  Hemburger,  Laurie 
Knapp,  and  Kim  Whitelaw  also  provided 
strong  performances  throughout  the  year. 
Hemberger  narrowly  lost  the  Eastern 
vaulting  title  to  national  all-around  cham- 
pion Ann  Carr  as  she  finished  just  .05  of  a 
point  behind  Carr.  Knapp  specialized  on 
the  beam  and  helped  stabilize  the  team's 
efforts  on  one  of  the  most  difficult  events 
in  sport.  Whitelaw  joined  the  team  after 
the  season  began  but  contributed  solidly 
on  the  bars  and  in  vaulting. 

The  juniors  on  the  team  were  those  most 
seriously  hurt  by  injuries  throughout  the 
season.  Jill  Heggie,  the  top  UMass  all- 
around  competitor  in  '76-'77,  was  lost  for 
the  season  when  she  severely  injured  her 
knee  during  the  World  University  Game 
Trials.  Jean  Anderson  tore  ligaments  in 
her  ankle  midway  through  the  season  and 
sat  out  further  competition.  Diane  Laur- 
enson  was  hampered  by  wrist  injuries 
which  kept  her  from  competing  on  the 
floor,  her  strongest  event.  Julie  Myers  and 
Cheryl  Morrier  had  trouble  shaking  the 
flu  and  were  out  for  several  weeks. 

The  team  will  certainly  miss  its  seniors, 
but  Evans  is  optimistic  that  next  year  will 
be  another  strong  one  for  the  Minutewo- 
men.

Men's  Swimmina 


Many  months  of  grueling  training  and 
self-sacrifice  culiminated  in  the  most  suc- 
cessful season  the  UMass  men's  swim 
team  has  ever  had. 

Coached  by  three-time  former  Olympi- 
an Bei  Melamed,  the  "mer"-men  proved 
they  could  compete  with  any  team  in  New 
England. 

Their  season's  record  was  a  solid  7-2, 
including  notable  victories  over  Tufts, 
Amherst,  and  Vermont.  The  only  defeats 
came  against  the  University  of  Connecti- 
cut (the  closest  meet  of  the  year,  a  single 
point  loss  on  the  last  race  of  the  meet),  and 
Maine,  the  eventual  New  England  cham- 
pion. 

Following  the  completion  of  the  regular 
.season,  twelve  of  the  team's  most  qualified 
members  represented  UMass  in  the  NE 
Championships.  About  250  swimmers  and 
divers  from  over  twenty-five  colleges  and 
universities  competed  in  the  three-day 
tournament. 

UMass  finished  a  respectable  ninth  in 
the  team  race,  but  more  significantly  accu- 
mulated a  startling  ten  new  school  records. 

Seniors  Russ  Yarworth  and  Tom  Ste- 
vens, along  with  Jim  Leland,  Tom  Nowak 
and  Harry  Fulford  caused  nearly  a  com- 
plete revision  of  the  record  book. 

Leading  the  onslaught  was  Captain 
Yarworth,  who  made  a  habit  of  breaking 
records  wherever  he  went  all  season  long. 
Yarworth  climaxed  his  UMass  career  with 
four  records  in  his  final  four  races. 


He  literally  "did  it  all"  as  he  displayed 
in  the  200  and  400  yard  individual  medleys 
(IM).  The  most  demanding  of  all  events, 
the  IM  combines  four  separate  strokes;  the 
backstroke,  breaststroke,  butterfly,  and 
freestyle.  His  other  records  came  in  the 
200  yard  butterfly  and  jointly  in  the  800 
yard  relay  with  Leland,  Steb  Stevens,  and 
Nowak. 

Also  giving  an  inspired  farewell  perfor- 
mance was  Stevens,  who  broke  school 
marks  in  the  50,  100,  and  200  yard  free- 
style events. 

Leland  etched  his  name  in  the  record 
book  with  his  performances  in  the  100  and 
200  yard  backstroke. 

Among  other  valuable  members  of  the 
team,  somewhat  overshadowed  by  the  slew 
of  records  set  in  the  NE  meet,  were  the 
divers:  Jim  Antonino,  Dan  Conley  and 
Dan  Anthony.  Their  consistently  excellent 
performances  from  both  the  one  and  three 
meter  boards  determined  the  outcome  of 
many  meets. 

Freshman  Bill  Tyler  established  himself 
as  the  squad's  top  200  and  500  yard  free- 
styler,  but  was  unable  to  compete  in  thg 
NE  meet  due  to  illness.  Departing  senidf 
Dennis  Buss  also  proved  a  valuable  asset 
all  season  long. 

Not  to  be  overlooked  was  the  guiding 
inspiration  of  Coach  Melamed,  whose 
dedication  characterized  his  past  Olympic 
career.

^  V/omen's  Swimming 


The  women's  swimming  and  diving 
team  ended  a  tough  season  with  a  6-7-1 
record  and  a  surprising  seventh  place  fin- 
ish in  the  New  Englands.  Six  swimmers 
also  qualified  to  go  to  the  Easterns,  but 
could  not  make  the  trip  because  of  the  flu. 

Under  the  direction  of  first-year  coach 
Jim  Nunnelly,  the  team  worked  from  Sep- 
tember to  February,  including  three  weeks 
of  training  during  intersession.  This  year's 
squad  consisted  primarily  of  freshwomen, 
but  everyone  worked  hard  and  improved. 
Co-captains  Lise  Hembrough  and  Rachel 
Mack  provided  spirit  and  leadership,  as 
well  as  good  swimming.  Although  the 
Minutewomen  just  missed  breaking  the 
.500  mark,  many  of  the  twenty  swimmers 
set  personal  records,  and  many  team 
marks  also  fell. 

UMass  started  its  season  off  on  a  prom- 
ising note  by  winning  its  first  four  meets, 
defeating  Smith,  Mount  Holyoke,  Wil- 
liams, and  the  University  of  Vermont.  But 
tougher  competition  soon  came  along,  and 
the  Minutewomen  lost  to  UConn,  Maine, 
Yale,  and  Harvard,  while  only  beating 
Central  Connecticut  before  intersession. 

After  three  weeks  of  swimming  twice  a 


day  during  the  semester  break,  times 
dropped  and  the  Minutewomen  swamped 
Bridgewater  in  their  first  meet  of  1978, 
but  that  was  their  final  victory.  The  season 
ended  with  losses  to  Springfield  and 
Southern  Connecticut,  and  two  meets 
were  cancelled  due  to  the  storm  in  Febru- 
ary. 

Leading  the  team  in  scoring  were  sopho- 
mores Kathy  Jurcik  and  Deb  Schwartz. 
Schwartz  also  set  school  records  in  the  200 
free,  500  free,  and  400  individual  medley, 
and  was  UMass'  top  individual  performer 
in  the  New  Englands  with  a  third  place 
finish  in  the  200  butterfly. 

Other  top  performers  were  freshwomen 
Kim  Murphy  and  Celia  Walsh,  sisters 
Maryanne  and  Meegan  Primavera,  and  ju- 
nior Lynn  Lutz,  who  set  new  school  re- 
cords in  the  grueling  1650  free  and  the 
1000  free.  Freshwoman  Cheryl  Robdau 
was  voted  the  most  improved  swimmer. 

Also  adding  points  were  divers  Suzi 
Strobel,  Kris  Bullard,  and  Leslie  Dun- 
phey,  who  were  coached  by  Doug  For- 
sythe.

The  UMassltflPi's  ski  team  contin- 
ued its  winning  ways  by  winning  the 
Osborn  Divisional  Championship  for 
the  ninth  year  in  a  row  with  a  39-1 
record  in  regular  season  competition 
against  Boston  College,  Northeastern, 
UConn,  Amherst,  and  Plymouth 
State  (N.H.).  In  post  season  competi- 
tion the  team  finished  fourth  out  of 
eight  teams  in  league  competition  and 


finished    second    in    the   ^nadian — -pfeomore    Bob  Grout  were    tremen- 
American  Invitationals  at  White  Face     dously  improved  and  each  had  a  great 


Mt.  in  New  York. 

The  outstanding  ski  racer  for 
UMass  was  Dale  Maynard,  who  com- 
pleted his  career  with  the  best  overall 
four  year  performance  of  any  ski  racer 
to  attend  UMass  during  the  sixteen 
year  tenure  of  Coach  Bill  MacCon- 
nell.   Junior   Scott   Prindle   and   so- 


year.  John  AUard  spent  his  junior  year 
at  Fribourg  University  in  Switzer- 
land, where  he  trained  with  the  Swiss 
Academic  Ski  Team  and  was  the  lone 
American  in  the  Student  World 
Olympics  in  Czechoslovakia. 


The  UMass  women's  ski  team  had  a 
perfect  season,  winning  every  event 
they  entered,  and  ended  with  a  perfect 
54-0  record  if  you  count  all  the 
American  and  Canadian  teams  they 
beat.  The  women  compiled  a  40-0  re- 
cord during  regular  season  competi- 
tion against  Boston  College,  Smith, 
UConn,  and  Merrimack.  Post  season 
they  won  the  Candian-American  Col- 


legiate Invitationals  at  Whiteface  Mt. 
against  top-ranking  Canadian  and 
American  teams. 

Stars  of  the  women's  team  were 
senior  Cathy  Donovan  and  juniors 
Kathy  Shinnick  and  Nancy  Hayden. 
"These  three  came  in  one-two-three  in 
more  than  half  the  races  they  entered 
and  they  made  the  clean  sweep  possi- 
ble," head  Coach  Bill   MacConnell 


said. 

For  the  third  year  in  a  row  the  wom- 
en trained  with  the  men's  ski  team  all 
day  Monday  through  Friday  from  De- 
cember 20  to  January  27  during  the 
intersession  break.  The  rigorous  train- 
ing program  again  paid  off  with  win- 
ning ski  teams  for  UMass.

Ice  Hockey 

After  opening  the  season  with  a  4-1  win  over  New  England 
College,  the  icemen  lost  five  games  in  a  row  and  the  season 
seemed  like  a  lost  cause.  But  early  last  December  something 
happened  —  the  Minutemen  snapped  their  losing  streak  and  at 
the  same  time  realized  they  could  not  only  play  with,  but  beat 
a  Division  II  powerhouse.  UMass  knocked  off  Army  by  a  score 
of  4-0.  The  Cadets  weren't  cream  puffs,  either,  as  they  were  a 
team  that  had  compiled  an  impressive  21-6-1  mark  in  the 
1976-77  season. 

The  Army  victory  started  a  hot  streak  that  saw  the  Minute- 
men  win  seven,  lose  two,  and  tie  one.  In  the  streak,  the  Minute- 
men  added  two  more  Division  II  powerhouses  to  their  list  of 
victims  —  Holy  Cross  (3-2)  and  defending  Division  II  champi- 
ons —  Merrimack  (7-6  in  overtime). 

Unfortunately,  just  as  life  and  a  cupcake  must  come  to  an 
unhappy  end,  so  did  the  Minutemen's  season.  Their  7-2-1  hot 
streak  had  made  believers  out  of  everybody,  including  Merri- 
mack Coach  Thorn  Lawler.  In  fact,  the  Minutemen  were  being 
considered  for  a  playoff  spot  in  Division  II  by  the  Eastern 
College  Athletic  Conference.  However,  the  disastrous  flu  dev- 
astated the  team  almost  as  badly  as  Albert  Camus'  plague. 
The  Minutemen  held  practice  sessions  with  only  six  or  seven 
players  showing  up,  while  the  others  stayed  at  home  to  combat 
the  flu  that  swept  the  campus  in  late  February. 

Net  Result:  A  team  that  felt  and  proved  that  it  could  beat 
anybody  lost  its  edge  and  conditioning,  which  resulted  in  four 
straight  dismal  performances,  four  consecutive  losses,  and  no 
playoff  berth  from  the  EC  AC. 

Coach  Jack  Canniff  had  some  thoughts  on  his  teams 
8-11-1  performance.  "After  the  way  we  started  with  a  1- 


5  record,  I  began  to  wonder  if  we  would  ever  turn 
around.  But  we  did  turn  around  and  played  well.  But 
when  you  lose  players  (Dean  Liacos  -hernia,  Joey  Milan 
-  torn  ligaments,  right  knee,  Barry  Milan  -  one  game 
suspension.  Bob  White  -  one  game  suspension,  and  Lin- 
coln Flagg  -  virus)  it  hurts.  We  were  struck  by  adversity 
(the  flu  and  injuries  to  key  players)  and  didn't  quit.  We 
got  better  gradually,  game  by  game  after  the  adversity 
hit  us,  and  skated  right  up  until  the  final  buzzer."

iVrestling 


The  Minutemen  had  the  privilege  of 
opening  the  season  against  three  national- 
ly-ranked powers  in  a  quad-match,  and 
although  the  athletes  from  Rhode  Island, 
Michigan  and  Syracuse  did  a  disservice  to 
Coach  Dave  Amato's  legion  (UMass  lost 
all  three  meets),  one  could  see  the  poten- 
tial was  there. 

Through  the  early  part  of  the  season, 
Larry  Otsuka  (134)  and  John  Allen 
(Heavyweight)  were  the  only  really  solid 
performers.  The  Minutemen  had  a  chance 
to  claim  their  first  win  of  the  season  at 
Harvard,  but  the  Crimson  eked  out  a  21- 
20  win. 

This  match  was  also  noteworthy  in  that 
it  marked  Kevin  Griffin's  last  perfor- 
mance as  a  Minuteman.  The  UMass  co- 


captain  and  former  NE  champion  retired 
from  the  team  shortly  after  to  devote  more 
time  to  school. 

Mid-season  bright  spots  were  provided 
by  Fred  Rheault,  with  a  37  second  pin 
against  a  Maine  opponent;  Dana  Rasmus- 
sen's  come  from  behind  win  in  the  closing 
seconds  of  his  118  pound  clash  with 
Connecticut's  John  Rocco;  Charley  Ri- 
goglioso's  flashes  of  brilliance  at  142 
pounds. 

The  team  won  only  six  meets  during  this 
rebuilding  season,  but  win  number  six,  a 
30-15  pasting  of  New  Hampshire,  proved 
to  be  a  fine  tuneup  for  the  New  England's. 

UMass  had  high  hopes  for  the  NE's,  but 
in  the  opening  seconds  of  his  134  pound 
match,  Otsuka  suffered  a  dislocated  shoul- 
der and  had  to  bow  out.  He  had  been 
seeded  number  one  in  his  weight  class  and 
a  showdown  between  him  and  URI's  Scott 
Arnel  in  the  finals  seemed  inevitable.  Ot- 


suka had  beaten  Arnel  in  the  semi-finals  a 
year  earlier,  and  had  also  defeated  him  in 
the  early  season  quad  match. 

Freshman  heavyweight  Allen  pinned 
Paul  Davis  of  BU  to  win  a  gold  medal, 
giving  UMass  its  eighth  consecutive 
heavyweight  championship,  a  tradition  be- 
gun by  George  Ireland  (1971)  and  contin- 
ued by  Carl  Dambman  (72-73)  and  Dennis 
Fenton,  the  current  JV  coach  (74,  75,  76, 
77). 

Other  medal  winners  included  Rasmus- 
sen,  who  took  the  bronze  at  118  pounds 
and  Rigoglioso,  who  won  the  silver  medal 
at  142  by  advancing  to  the  finals,  where  he 
was  defeated  by  two-time  defending 
champ  Frank  Pucino  of  URL 

Mike  Carroll  (158)  and  Co-captain  Tim 
Fallon  (150)  had  fourth  place  finishes.

V/omen's  Uerosse 


In  only  its  third  year  of  varsity  competi- 
tion, the  UMass  women's  lacrosse  team 
showed  itself  to  be  the  class  of  the  North- 
east by  winning  the  New  England  title  and 
placing  third  in  the  country.  The  Gazelles 
were  one  of  two  teams  from  the  Northeast 
which  qualified  for  the  national  playoffs  in 
Virginia.  There  they  beat  teams  "they  wer- 
en't supposed  to  beat"  to  finish  third  in  the 
country,  with  an  overall  record  of  17-1-2, 
which  was  the  second  best  record  of  the 
top  teams. 

Led  by  single  season  record  holders 
Judy  Kennedy  and  Jeanne  Hackett  with 
35  goals,  and  by  a  single  season  record 
playmaker  Cari  Nickerson  with  28  assists, 
the  Gazelles  ran  through  an  undefeated 
regular  season  with  Rhode  Island  and  Bos- 
ton University  being  among  the  eight 
teams  to  fall.  Only  ties  with  Springfield 
College  and  New  Hampshire  in  the  year's 
biggest  showdowns  kept  their  record  from 
being  perfect. 

As  a  preparation  for  the  New  England 
Playoffs,  the  Gazelles  played  and  won 
three  games  in  a  district  tournament  at 
Smith  College.  Even  the  New  England 
All-Star  team  could  not  cope  with  UMass 


and  goalie  Robin  Jennings,  who  played 
some  of  her  best  games  there. 

In  the  New  England's  at  Bridgewater, 
UMass  popped  Bates  18-2,  Middlebury 
13-3,  and  Brown  12-7,  to  advance  to  the 
final  with  Yale.  In  the  championship 
game,  UMass  lost  a  4-1  lead  and  was 
forced  into  overtime  only  to  have  Judy 
Kennedy  score  her  sixth  goal  of  the  two- 
day  tournament  to  win  the  game  and  send 
the  team  to  the  Nationals. 

Seven  seniors  opted  to  miss  graduation 
exercises  for  the  first  National  Champion- 
ships held  in  Harrisionburg,  Virginia.  A 
fifth  seed  was  rather  low  for  the  Gazelles, 
and  they  showed  that  right  away  by  elimi- 
nating fourth  seed  and  host  James  Madi- 
son College  7-1. 

The  team's  only  loss  of  the  year  was  to 
top  seeded  Penn  State  in  the  semi-finals. 
The  speedy  Penn  State  team  went  on  to 
win  the  Nationals,  with  no  team  coming 
any  closer  to  beating  them  than  UMass. 

In  the  final  game  of  the  year,  UMass 
again  went  into  overtime  and  won  5-4  over 
East  Strousbug  with  Deb  Harltey's  goal. 

Besides  the  third  place  finish,  the  week- 


end in  Virginia  was  highlighted  by  the 
placing  of  center  Judy  Kennedy  to  the 
United  States  National  Touring  team. 

Coach  Frank  Garahan,  regarded  by 
many  as  one  of  the  finest  women's  coaches 
in  the  country,  is  credited  with  taking  a 
team  which  was  a  club  team  when  the 
seniors  were  freshwomen  and  turning 
them  into  national  contenders.  He,  along 
with  assistant  Mary  Murray,  took  a  field 
of  eighteen  women  to  the  teams  finest  fin- 
ish in  its  brief  history.  They  moulded  a 
defense  of  Robin  Jennings,  Kelly  Sails, 
Gayle  Hutchinson,  Olivia  Lovelace,  Grace 
Martinelli,  and  Lisa  Methfessel,  who  kept 
opponents  to  an  average  of  under  four 
goals  a  game.  The  offense  was  bolstered 
by  three  new  players  to  UMass  lacrosse  by 
Deb  Hartley  (33  goals,  16  assists),  Eng- 
land exchange  student  Fiona  McAllister, 
and  senior  Sue  Kibling  in  her  first  year  of 
playing  (20  goals,  14  assists).  A  strong 
bench  led  by  Allyson  Toney,  Laura 
O'Neil,  Kathy  Gipps,  Jule  McHugh,  and 
Joan  Bulman  carried  the  team  in  later  sea- 
son games.

Men's  Lacrosse 


In  the  sprinffTOff%en's  lacrosse  team, 
or  Garber's  Gorillas  as  they  are  commonly 
known,  turn  on  the  campus  as  no  other 
spring  sport  can.  UMies  line  "the  Hill" 
comfortably,  quenching  their  thirst  while 
taking  in  the  game. 

The  team  got  off  to  a  rough  start  in  the 
spring  of  '78,  having  to  face  Cornell  in 
their  den  in  UMass'  season  opener.  The 
Big  Red  —  winner  of  thirty-one  straight, 
took  number  thirty-two,  dropping  UMass 
17-7.  The  Gorillas  headed  to  UConn 
shortly  thereafter,  winning  15-6  and  even- 
ing their  record  at  1-1.  This  pattern  re- 
peated itself —  a  loss  to  Syracuse  (15-6), 
before  Vermont,  in  its  first  season  as  a 
lacrosse  team,  came  to  Amherst  and  got 


fllttende^  by  the  Gorillas  24-7.  With  a  2-2 
record,  the  Gorillas  lost  to  Rutgers,  then 
rebounded  by  beating  Boston  College  21- 
3. 

As  the  team  got  used  to  playing  togeth- 
er, they  thrilled  the  hometown  crowd  with 
back-to-back  victories  —  13-8  over 
Brown,  and  18-11  over  Williams.  With 
four  tough  oponents  coming  up,  it  ap- 
peared this  would  tell  just  how  good  the 
team  was.  Hofstra  snuck  out  of  here  with  a 
narrow  14-11  victory,  before  UMass 
dropped  a  fired-up  UNH  squad  8-7. 

In  what  may  have  been  the  toughest 
loss.  Army,  ranked  in  the  top  five  at  the 
time,  pulled  out  a  12-10  victory.  Harvard's 
Crimson  were  the  victims  of  a  one  goal  loss 


(12-11)  in  Amherst,  which  left  the  UMies 
happy,  as  it  kept  UMass  atop  the  New 
England  poll. 

A  whitewash  by  UMass  in  Springfield 
(22-3)  enabled  players  to  switch  positions, 
and  also  allowed  Brooks  Sweet  the  oppor- 
tunity to  set  a  new  UMass  record  for  goals 
scored  in  one  season. 

The  season  ended  against  Dartmouth  in 
overtime,  won  by  a  Harry  Comforti  sud- 
den-death goal. 

So  while  the  Gorillas  didn't  make  the 
National  playoffs,  they  still  finished  num- 
ber one  in  New  England,  and  were  ranked 
in  the  top  fifteen  in  the  country  —  a  tri- 
bute to  a  team  with  a  9-5  record.

^  The  UMass  rugby  football  club  marked 
its  10th  anniversary  of  competition  by  end- 
ing the  1977-78  season  at  6-14,  giving  the 
club  "about  a  .500  record  for  that  period," 
according  to  Dr.  Richard  Laurence,  the 
club's  faculty  advisor. 

The  'A  side'  (squad)  started  out  well 
with  victories  over  the  Berkshire  Rugby 
Football  Club  (RFC)  and  Dartmouth  Col- 
lege, but  then  "ran  into  strong  club  sides 
and  got  hammered,"  Laurence  said. 

According  to  Laurence,  college  teams 
do  not  usually  have  the  experienced  play- 
ers club  sides  have.  "It  takes  about  three 
years  to  comprehend  the  complete  game, 
but  some  players  can  compensate  for  the 
lack  of  experience  by  applying  their  natu- 
ral athletic  ability  in  certain  situations," 
he  said. 

UMass  defeated  a  strong  Springfield 
club  side  in  the  fall,  10-9,  halfway  through 
the  season,  but  the  streak  ended  with  that 
game.  Consecutive  losses  to  Providence 
RFC,  Holy  Cross,  Pilgrims  RFC  and 
UConn  in  the  Yankee  Conference  Tourna- 
ment closed  the  first  half  of  play. 


Rugby 


Over  intersession,  UMass  lost  three  key 
players;  Hugh  Chester-Jones,  Stan  Lu- 
boda  and  Andy  Middleton.  Recruting  new 
players  to  fill  those  positions  was  the  main 
concern  of  Captain  Brian  Coolbaugh,  a 
medical  student  going  on  to  study  at  the 
UMass  Medical  School  in  Worcester. 

"I  guess  you  could  call  the  second  half 
of  the  season  the  beginning  of  a  rebuilding 
process,  but  I  think  we  got  some  good 
freshmen  and  sophomores  to  help  us  out," 
said  Laurence. 

After  a  pre-season  spring  trip  to  play  the 
University  of  Virginia,  Maryland  and 
George  Washington  University,  the  club 
returned  home  and  opened  with  a  win  over 
the  Berlin  Strollers  RFC  of  Berlin,  NH. 

A  27-0  loss  to  the  Concord  RFC  and  an 
18-16  win  over  Dover  RFC  followed. 

The  strong,  emotional  rivalry  of  the 
Amherst  College-UMass  game,  played  at 
Amherst,  "proved  to  be  the  best  of  the 
year  in  all  aspects,"  Laurence  said.  Al- 
though Amherst  won,  20-18,  the  victors 
had  all  they  could  handle  as  UMass  surged 
in  the  late  minutes,  scoring  three  times. 


Displaying  good  execution  in  the  Am- 
herst game,  UMass  quickly  reversed  its  di- 
rection and  "hit  the  lowest  point  of  the 
year,"  Laurence  said,  "with  two  poor  per- 
formances against  Dartmouth  and  Berk- 
shire. Two  players,  senior  scrum-half 
Chuck  Momnie  and  hooker  Peter  Bates, 
were  missing  from  the  weekend  games. 

"The  games  really  showed  how  much  we 
need  those  two,"  Laurence  said. 

Three  "squeakers"  capped  the  spring 
schedule  for  the  Minutemen.  The  first,  an- 
other victory  over  Springfield  (10-9),  en- 
abled the  club  to  qualify  for  the  New  Eng- 
land Tournament.  A  heartbreaking  loss  to 
the  University  of  New  Brunswick  (14-12) 
plunged  the  UMass  overall  record  to  6-13. 

The  final  game,  played  in  the  single 
elimination  NE  Tournament  held  at  URI, 
saw  the  Minutemen  slip  again,  7-4,  to  Old 
Gold. 

Seniors  on  the  A  side  included  Cool- 
baugh, Momnie,  Tom  Murray,  Kevin  Gaf- 
ney  and  Andy  Sirica.

Baseball 

Dizzy  Bean's  famous  saying,  "Who 
woulda  thunk  it?"  fit  the  1978  UMass 
baseball  team's  season  perfectly.  Why? 
Well,  on  April  17,  the  Minutemen  had  an 
8-14  record  and  appeared  to  be  going  no- 
where in  a  hurry.  However,  the  following 
day  Doug  Welenc  pitched  the  Minutemen 
to  a  5-2  win  over  Boston  College  which 
sparked  the  regular  season  ending  surge 
that  saw  UMass  win  twelve  out  of  its  last 
seventeen  games  for  a  20-19  record  and  a 
place  in  the  ECAC  District  I  playoffs. 

And  then  —  magically,  wonderfully  — 
UMass  swept  past  archrivals  Holy  Cross, 
Providence,  and  Fairfield  to  win  the  title 
and  represent  the  area  in  the  NCAA  play- 
offs. But  there  the  sandfare  was  muted  by 
two  straight  loses  and  a  quick  exit  from  the 
playoffs  MacKenzie  Field. 

How  to  explain?   The   Minutemen,   a 


young  team  with  only  five  seniors  took 
time  to  mature,  but  when  they  did  they 
displayed  some  outstanding  individual  tal- 
ent, such  as: 

—  Doug  Welenc,  rebounded  from  a  2-2, 
3.77  freshman  season  to  fulfill  his  poten- 
tial and  compile  an  8-3,  1.55  mark.  With- 
out much  doubt,  Welenc  was  the  pitcher 
who  made  the  difference. 

—  Doug  Aylward,  a  pitcher  in  presea- 
son plans,  was  switched  to  the  outfield  by 
Coach  Dick  Berguqist  early  in  the  season 
and  responded  by  hitting  .407  for  the  sec- 
ond best  batting  average  in  the  district. 

—  Mike  McEvilly,  Mr.  Consistancy,  hit 
.336  with  thirty-one  RBFs  and  displayed  a 
rifle  of  an  arm  in  right  field.  The  sopho- 
more was  the  ultimate  clutch  player. 

—  Leo  Kalinowski,  a  virtual  human  hit- 
ting machine,  batted  .320  from  his  third 
base  spot. 

—  Dave  Olesak,  proved  himself  to  be  a 
quality  catcher  with  a  "don't  run  on  me" 
arm  and  a  .283  batting  average. 


—  Mark  Sulivan,  who  was  out  of  school 
last  year,  came  back  to  assume  a  starting 
role  in  left  field  and  hit  .315. 

—  Ed  Skribiski,  who  had  to  make  the 
transiton  from  second  base  to  short  stop, 
recovered  from  an  atrocious  start  to  hit 
.273. 

—  Mike  Stockley,  underrated  and  un- 
derappreciated at  second,  drove  in  seven- 
teen runs  on  only  twenty-five  hits  and 
fielded  his  postion  with  a  natural  grace. 
Stockley  was  also  named  Most  Valuable 
Player  in  the  ECAC  playoffs. 

They  were  an  idiosyncratic  cast  of  char- 
acters which  blended  together  well  enough 
to  fashion  UMass'  trip  to  NCAA  nirvana. 
Who  woulda  thunk  it,  indeed?

The  UMass  softball  team  fulfilled  its 
expectations  in  an  O'Henry-like  manner. 
The  ending,  which  had  UMass  finishing 
fourteenth  nationally,  was  not  a  complete 
surprise,  however.  The  Minutewomen  cap- 
turing the  Eastern  Regionals  without  be- 
ing written  off  by  opponents  —  before 
peaking  —  was  the  amazement. 

With  the  return  of  eight  starters  from 
last  year's  16-2  squad,  including  standouts 
Sue  Peters  and  co-captain  Sue  DiRocco, 
the  Minutewomen  appeared  destined  to 
achieve  post-season  competition  for  the 
first  time  in  the  teams  five-year  existance. 

UMass  was  quickly  4-0,  but  four  errors 
in  a  Keene  State  victory  were  "the  lowest 
point  of  the  young  season  ..."  remarked 
Coach  Diane  Thompson. 

Despite  belonging  to  the  undefeated 
ranks,  there  were  internal  obstacles:  a  few 
shaky  fielding  performances,  lack  of  un- 
tested pitching,  and  nagging  injuries. 
Eight  miscues  led  to  the  first  loss  (5-4)  — 
in  the  opener  of  a  doubleheader  against 
Eastern  Connecticut  —  and  the  pattern 


continued  as  the  UMies  split  with  the  Uni- 
versity of  New  Hampshire.  With  seven 
twinbills  scheduled,  the  pitching  staff 
needed  bolstering.  The  unexpected  sources 
of  relief  came  from  Kathy  O'Connell,  a 
freshwoman,  and  Trish  O'Connor,  a  trans- 
fer student.  Sue  Peters,  as  usual,  was  bril- 
lant  compiling  a  6-0  record,  8-1  overall, 
and  an  ERA  of  1.70.  Peters  led  the  hitting 
department  with  a  .466  clip,  followed  by 
second  basewoman  Rhonda  McManus 
with  .400  and  outfielder/first  basewoman 
Kathy  Horrigan  with  .362. 

Injuries  generally  avoided  the  hurling 
triad,  but  plagued  their  batterymates.  A 
typical  pre-game  scene  had  co-captain 
Cheryl  Meliones'  elbow  in  ice  and  back-up 
catcher  Beth  Collins  on  the  sidelines  with 
broken  fingers. 

While  mending  its  wounds,  the  team,  8- 
2,  was  still  searching  for  a  top-level  perfor- 
mance when  a  second-half  tailspin  invaded 
after  a  4-3  win  over  Springfield  College. 
Loses  to  Boston  State,  the  University  of 
Rhode  Island,  Bridgewater,  and  Southern 


Softball 

Connecticut  were  cause  for  concern.  Al- 
though UMass  dropped  to  12-6  during  this 
stretch,  mentor  Thompson  remained  con- 
fident in  her  newly  annointed  Eastern  divi- 
sion qualifiers. 

Sweeping  two  from  Vermont  to  end  the 
regular  season,  the  club  glided  through  the 
tournament  in  championship  form  thanks 
to  some  timely  hitting  by  center  fielder 
Carol  Bruce.  Ticket  holders  to  the  Nation- 
als were:  Pat  Oski,  Cheryl  Meliones,  Carol 
Bruce,  Jennifer  Parker,  Kahy  Horrigan, 
Sue  DiRocco,  Rhonda  McManus,  Fran 
Cornachioli,  Elaine  Howie,  Gail  Carter, 
Beth  Collins,  Sue  Peters,  Beth  O'Connell, 
Chris  Verdini,  Kathy  O'Connell,  assistant 
Coach  Jean  Lambert,  and  Coach  Diane 
Thompson. 


A  successful  ending  to  the 
fall  season  provided  the  impe- 
tus for  a  highly  successful 
spring  season  for  the  men's 
tennis  team  in  1978. 

The  team,  under  Coach 
Jay  Ogden,  struggled  through 
the  regular  fall  season  with  a 
2-2  record,  but  when  the 
chips  were  on  the  line  in  the 
season's  finale  —  the  Yankee 
Conference  Championships 
—  the  squad  came  through 
with  flying  colors,  just  miss- 
ing an  upset  over  favored 
Boston  University  by  one 
point. 

The  team  was  without  reg- 
ular number  one  singles  play- 
er Alan  Green  for  much  of 
the  season,  with  Jim  Barnhart 
and  Rick  Sharton  taking  up 
much  of  the  slack  caused  by 
Green's  abscence. 

Freshmen  also  played  a  big 
part  in  the  Minutemen's  suc- 
cess story,  as  Mark  Huette- 
man,  Sergio  Strepman  and 
Keith  Hovland  all  played 
steady  tennis. 

Green  and  Strepman  were 
the  only  UMass  players  to 
win  first  round  singles  match- 
es in  the  New  England's  but 
both  went  down  to  defeat 
shortly  after.

Sporting  a  new  coach  and  a  rookie  first 
singles  player,  the  1978  women's  tennis 
team  was  dealing  with  two  unknown  quan- 
tities. 

After  a  4-4  regular  fall  season  had  been 
completed,  along  with  a  sixth  place  New 
England  Tournament  finish,  the  team  had 
no  reason  to  complain. 

New  coach  coach  Bill  Yu  predicted  his 
charges  toughest  matches  would  come 
against  Tufts,  Dartmouth,  Smith  and  Mt. 
Holyoke. 

He  turned  out  to  be  three-fourths  right, 
as  the  Minutewomen  were  bombarded  by 
Tufts  (6-1)  and  Dartmouth  (5-2)  and  did 
only  slightly  better  against  Mt.  Holyoke 
(6-3). 

The  team  did  nip  arch-rival  Smith  Col- 
lege, however,  by  a  5-4  score. 

Other  victories  came  against  Spring- 
field, Southern  Connecticut,  and  Keene 
State  College,  all  of  which  were  romps. 

Amherst  Regional  High  School  gra- 
duate Cathy  Maher  had  a  successful  year 
at  the  first  singles  spot. 

Consistent  singles  play  was  turned  in  by 
Carolyn  Mooney  and  Lee  Robb,  while 
Dawn  Minaai  and  Jennifer  Ranz  were  the 
top  doubles  combination.

Men's  Golf 


The  UMass  men's  golf  team  en- 
joyed a  fine  fall  season  under  their 
new  head  coach  Ed  Vlach.  Vlach 
took  his  young  and  largely  untried 
team  to  the  YanCon  title,  the  New 
England  title,  the  Toski  Intercolle- 
giate title,  and  a  sixth  place  finish  in 
'the  ECACs. 

The  team,  which  had  no  seniors  in 
its' "lineup,  was  led  by  sophomore 
Flynt  Lincoln  and  junior  Jimmy 
McDermott.  Behind  the  young  but 
experienced  co-captains  were  two  ju- 
■'  niors  (Jeff  Orr  and  Bill  Campbell), 
i  wo  sophomores  ^Vic  Lahtiene:  and 
)uggin),  and  freshman  John 


Weather  seemed  at  times  to  be  as 
big  a  foe  as  the  other  players.  Heat 
and  rain  and  a  soaked  course  gave 
the  Minutemen  a  tough  time  at  the 
YanCon  tourney,  their  first  tourney 
of  the  season,  but  they  won  by  thir- 
teen strokes  over  Rhode  Island.  Lin- 
coln collected  the  lowest  individual 
score,  a  one  over  par  73. 

They  then  made  it  two  in  a  row  by 
winning  the  New  Englands.  That 
tourney  was  cut  in  half  because  of 
rain.  Lincoln  missed  lowest  individ- 
ual score  by  only  one  stroke. 

Freshman  Lien  became  the  hero 
as  it  became  three  in  a  row.  Lien 
helped  the  team  to  overcome  twenty- 
one  other  schools  in  the  Toski  Inter- 
collegiate. 

Once  again  the  rains  came  but  the 
team  managed  to  come  in  second  in 
the  ECAC  qualifying  tourney. 
McDermott  took  low  honors  for  the 
team  this  time  with  a  77. 

For  their  season  finale,  the  team 
was  treated  to  "simply  abominable" 
weather  conditions,  according  to 
Vlach.  But  still  they  came  in  sixth  in 
the  ECACs  although  they  were  44 
strokes  in  back  of  the  winners.  Lin- 
coln was  eight  strokes  behind  the  low 
scorer. 

With  everyone  returning  a  yei 
older  and  wiser,  the  team  has  high 
hopes  of  equaling  or  bettering  their 
record.  And  they  have  a  good  chance 
to  do  it.

iVomen's  Crew 


Coach  Debbie  Ayars  charges  brought 
UMass  women's  rowing  its  best  season  yet. 
The  Varsity  boat  was  undefeated  in  six 
contests  in  the  spring,  and  the  Second  Var- 
sity boat  had  only  one  loss  during  the  sea- 
son, to  Boston  University.  The  Varsity 
Four  gained  victories  over  Mt.  Holyoke, 
UNH,  and  Northeastern. 

At  the  Eastern  Sprints  for  Women  at 
Pittsfield,  MA,  the  Varsity  and  Junior 
Varsity  Eights  and  Varsity  Four  all  quali- 
fied for  the  afternoon  finals;  a  first  for 
UMass  crew.  Bad  weather  forced  the  can- 
cellation of  the  finals  and  prevented  the 
boats  from  competing  against  the  best  col- 
legiate competition  in  the  country. 

In  recognition  of  the  undefeated  season 


and  the  loss  of  the  Championship  race,  the 
club  administration  decided  to  financially 
assist  the  Varsity  Eight  in  going  to  the 
National  Championships  at  Seattle,  WA. 
Once  there,  the  women  finished  eighth  out 
of  twenty-two.  Following  the  Nationals, 
four  members  of  the  UMass  squad,  Cindy 
Hector,  Deb  Quinn,  Ginny  Peebles,  and 
Julie  Eggleston,  were  selected  to  partici- 
pate in  a  National  Development  camp  at 
San  Diego  and  participated  in  the  U.S. 
Sports  Festival  at  Colorado  Springs, 
where  Debby  and  Julie  won  bronze  medals 
in  the  four.  A  fifth  member  of  the  squad, 
Maureen  O'Brien,  traveled  to  the  Sports 
Festival  in  the  capacity  of  manager.

Men's  Track 


Head  track  Coach  Ken  O'Brien's  opti- 
mism was  dealt  a  severe  blow  in  the  winter 
track  season  when  the  squad  finished  a 
disappointing  14th  in  the  New  England 
Indoor  Championships.  When  the  spring 
campaign  of  blue  skies  and  warm  weather 
had  come  and  gone,  however,  the  track 
and  cross  country  coach  had  renewed  faith 
in  the  Minutemen's  capabilities. 

Highlighting  the  events  which  occurred 
in  Spring  1978  were  performances 
achieved  by  veterans  as  well  as  youth.  Joe 
Martens  capped  off  an  illustrious  college 
track  career  with  a  convincing  relays  vic- 
tory in  the  440  as  well  as  a  fourth  place 
finish  in  the  New  England  Outdoor  Cham- 
pionships in  the  same  event.  His  outdoor 
races  complemented  his  winter  Yankee 
Conference  performance  of  second  in  the 
440.  These  final  memories  Martens  will 
rest  under  his  belt  alongside  conference 
high  jump  and  440  yard  titles  garnered  in 
previous  years. 

Junior  Kevin  McCusker  hurdled  all  ob- 
stacles in  his  way  for  another  UMass  Re- 
lays 3000  meter  steeplechase  crown,  as  he 
successfully  defended  his  title.  McCusker 
went  on  to  wrestle  runner-up  laurels  in  the 
New  Englands  in  the  same  event. 

Mark  Healy  was  another  fortunate  ath- 
lete to  snare  a  top  prize.  Healy  inscribed 
his  name  amongst  the  winners  at  the 
UMass  Relays  with  his  final  college  victo- 
ry occurring  in  the  440  intermeditate  hur- 
dles. 

Trailblazing  a  path  for  the  Minutemen 
freshmen  this  year  was  Don  Dowden.  In 
his  first  year  displaying  the  maroon  and 
white,  Dowden  captured  an  indoor  confer- 
ence high  jump  crown,  as  well  as  similiar 
honors  in  the  UMass  Relays.  During  his 
first  year  he  also  allowed  room  for  a 
UMass  outdoor  record  at  6'10". 

On  May  14th,  the  University  proudly 
hosted  the  New  England  Outdoor  Cham- 
pionships on  the  Llewelyn  Derby  Track. 
After  the  forty-one  teams  nailed  down  the 
starting  blocks  and  passed  the  baton  for 
the  last  time,  UMass  had  racked  up  thirty- 
six  points  and  a  sixth  place  showing.  Of 
the  fourteen  competitors  who  were  re- 
sponsible for  the  Minutemens  final  tally, 
seven  were  first  year  men.  In  the  words  of 
Thomas  Edison,  "the  future  is  bright," 

—  Kevin  McCaffrey

iVomen's  Track 


Coaches  Ken  O'Brien  and  Charlotte 
Lettis  took  a  basically  youthful  group  of 
athletes  and  molded  them  into  a  highly 
successful  women's  track  team  in  1978. 

Sprinkled  with  veterans,  though  still 
youthful  talent,  the  team  was  coming  off  a 
1977  showing  of  fifth  in  the  indoor  and 
fourth  in  the  outdoor  Eastern's. 

The  Minutewomen  finished  their  dual 
meet  season  undefeated,  and  finished  the 
season  with  a  second  place  finish  (to 
Springfield)  in  the  first  New  England 
championship  meet. 

Several  althletes  also  qualified  for  the 
Eastern  meet,  and  although  a  full  team 
was  not  sent,  those  who  participated  made 
fine  showings. 

Top  performers  throughout  the  season 
were  sprinter/hurdler  Nancy  Cominoli, 
middle  distance  star  Cindi  Martin,  quarter 
miler  Diana  Sealy  and  distance  runner 
Debbie  Farmer.

What  is  a  "functional 
art"?  It's  a  small,  often 
unappreciated  part  of  the 
university  that  is  necessary, 
requires  a  skill,  and  helps  to 
keep  this  place  functioning. 
The  following  are  a  few 
examples  of  our 
conceptions  of  a  functional 
art  —  we're  sure  you  can 
think  of  some  interesting 
others. 


Functionally  contributing  the  arts  of . 


1S3 


He's  not  just  your  every  day, 

ordinary  little  boy.  He's  six  years  old, 

has  brown  hair  and  brown  eyes,  and 

he's  the  star  of  halftime  during 

basketball  season.  He's  the  best  bat 

boy  the  Minutemen  ever  had.  He's 

Timmy  Bishko. 

Timmy  has  been  interested  and 

involved  in  the  sporting  world  since  the 

tender  age  of  four.  Although  he  is  the 

ball  boy  for  both  the  basketball  and 

baseball  teams,  he  admits  that  he  likes 

baseball  the  best.  His  job  is  to  "chase 

the  balls",  but  he  doesn't  mind  that. 

Tim  reports  the  teams  as  doing  "a 

little  good"  this  year.  He  thinks  the 

team  members  are  "good  guys"   — 

take  that  as  a  compliment,  teams  — 

Timmy's  quite  a  guy  himself! 


Parents  of  the  UMass  football  and  wres- 
tling teams  should  have  it  so  good:  a  doctor 
who  makes  house  calls,  even  when  no  one  is 
sick.  This  paragon  among  the  followers  of 
Hippocrates  is  Dr.  George  Snook,  an  ortho- 
pedic surgeon  who  is  retained  by  UMass  to 
"treat  those  disabilities  of  the  muscular  skel- 
etal system:  bones,  joints,  and  the  muscles." 

While  he  deals  with  more  non-athletes 
than  athletes,  he  covers  four  sports  in  par- 
ticular: football,  wrestling,  women's  gymnas- 
tics, and  lacrosse.  With  the  exception  of 
wrestling,  Dr.  Snook  pays  his  own  traveling 
and  lodging  expenses  to  be  near  the  action. 
During  the  games  he  sits  on  the  sidelines 
prepared  to  treat  any  athlete  that  gets  in- 
jured. "My  wife  goes  along  with  me  and  she 
sits  in  the  stands  and  can  see  more  than  I  can 
on  the  sidelines.  She  tells  me  what  happened 
during  the  game." 

Traveling  with  gymnastics  and  lacrosse  is 
a  rarity,  although  he  makes  himself  available 
if  the  need  arises.  He  works  with  all  the 
teams  primarily  on  a  volunteer  basis. 

Dr.  Snook's  involvement  in  athletic  sports 
medicine  is  due  to  a  personal  interest:  "the 
need  was  there  and  I  wanted  to  do  it." 

Since  1960  Dr.  Snook  has  had  clinics 
twice  a  week  at  the  University  Health  Ser- 
vice. He  deals  with  injuries  such  as  sprains. 


contusions,  tears,  torn  ligaments,  fractures, 
and  torn  cartilages.  The  rest  of  the  working 
week  he  spends  at  his  private  practice  in 
Northampton. 

As  a  member  of  the  Academy  of  Orthope- 
dic Surgeons,  Dr.  Snook  teaches  a  course  in 
sports  medicine  a  few  months  a  year  in 
South  Carolina.  He  is  also  a  founding  mem- 
ber of  the  American  Orthopedic  Society  of 
Sport  Medicine. 

In  addition  to  his  national  involvement, 
Dr.  Snook  is  an  alternate  physician  to  the 
the  Olympic  teams.  He  has  been  to  the 
games,  but  he  has  never  had  an  opportunity 
to  practice  his  profession. 

During  his  educational  career  Dr.  Snook 
was  an  active  athlete.  In  high  school  he 
played  football,  baseball,  and  lacrosse.  He 
continued  football  and  lacrosse  in  college, 
and  again  in  medical  school  he  played  la- 
crosse and  was  on  the  fencing  team. 

Dr.  Snook  remembers  well  UMass'  teams 
and  athletes  —  particularly  those  he  has 
operated  on.  He  recalls  "incidents  of  sheer 
guts  and  determination,  and  the  willingness 
to  carry  on  with  injuries.  The  doctors  and 
coaches  that  you  work  with,  the  athletes  and 
non-athletes,  these  are  the  best  parts  of  it."

aiding  and  supporting 


The  University  of  Massachusetts  Minute- 
man  Marching  Band  is  a  unique  organization 
comprised  of  approximately  200  members 
with  diversified  interests  and  talents  who 
provide  spirit,  support,  entertainment,  and 
unmatched  excitement  at  football  games. 
While  the  activities  of  the  football  team 
dominate  the  audience's  attention  for  four 
quarters,  the  marching  band  is  hard  at  work 
as  a  large  cheering  section  —  a  very  visible 
and  audible  part  of  the  game,  but  somewhat 
in  the  background.  The  most  important  mo- 
ment for  the  marching  band  comes  at  half- 
time,  and  for  those  eight  to  twelve  minutes 
the  band  works  to  captivate  the  audience. 
Besides  providing  an  exciting  performance 
for  the  faithful  fans,  each  marching  band 
member  generates  enthusiasm,  and  more 
importantly,  school  spirit  and  pride  to  each 
fan,  for  halftime  is  their  moment  to  prove 
that  they  are  the  best  at  what  they  do. 

To  put  together  a  show  requires  much 
time,  sacrifice,  and  dedication  from  each 
band  member.  Fundamentals  are  stressed; 
precision  and  perfection  are  constantly 
strived  for.  A  marching  band  member  par- 
ticipates in  a  band  camp  a  week  before 
school  begins,  and  works  two  hours  a  day 
for  twelve  weeks  during  the  fall  semester.  A 
Saturday  can  involve  up  to  twelve  hours  of  a 


band  members  day  if  there  is  an  away  game. 
All  the  work  pays  off,  though, as  the  result- 
ant effect  is  a  spectacular  halftime  show. 

One  may  wonder  why  a  person  wants  to 
be  in  the  UMass  Marching  Band.  For  most 
members,  music  has  been  very  much  a  part 
of  their  lives,  and  by  joining  the  band  they 
are  able  to  continue  in  their  musical  endeav- 
ors. For  the  other  members,  mainly  flags  and 
twirlers,  joining  the  band  offers  them  the 
opportunity  to  exhibit  their  expertise  in  drills 
that  add  color  and  excitement  to  a  typical 
halftime  show. 

The  1977  band  welcomed  a  new  director, 
Mr.  George  Parks.  In  his  first  year  he 
changed  the  fifteen  year  tradition  of  the 
"high  step"  style  of  marching  initiated  by  his 
predecessor.  Dr.  John  Jenkins.  The  new 
style  was  found  challenging  and  exciting  — 
it  will  definately  be  around  for  a  while.  The 
marching  band  was  led  under  the  field  direc- 
tion of  Drum  Major  Rich  Neely,  and  assistant 
Drum  Major  Bob  Lloyd.  The  flag  corp  was 
led  by  Melody  Essex,  and  the  twirler  squad 
by  Laura  Biron. 

This  year  fans  were  entertained  to  unfor- 
getable  tunes  from  "Rocky",  "Star  Wars", 
the  Beatles,  "A  Chorus  Line",  and  "Mahog- 
any".

. . .  Vending 

There  are  usually  twenty-four  tables 

available  on  the  Concourse  —  and  as 

many  as  thirty-one  during  the 

Christmas  season  —  at  which  students, 

student  organizations,  and  commercial 

vendors  show  and  sell  their  wares. 

Tables  are  assigned  in  hierarchies,  with 

Recognized  Student  Organizations 

granted  top  priority,  individual  student 

vendors  second,  and  commercial  sellers 

last.  While  commercial  vendors  are 

permitted  table  space  only  twice  a 

week  and  have  to  pay  a  $75.00  fee 

per  day,  students  enrolled  at  the 

University  can  reserve  space  for  three 

days  by  paying  only  the  required  $2.00 

vendor's  license  fee.

And  Mending 


Gary  Schuster,  a  history  major,  is 
best  known  on  Campus  for  his  unique 
style  of  advertising  local  businesses.  "It 
doesn't  have  anything  to  do  with  my 
major.  No,  in  fact  I've  never  taken  a 
business  course  in  my  life.  In  fact, 
walking  through  business  school  —  I 
used  to  have  a  class  in  SBA  —  and 
cruised  through,  and  used  to  get  weird 
looks  from  all  the  straight  business 
people.  But  I  didn't  give  a  shit,  'cause 
they  were  studying  about  it  and  I  was 
doing  it.  Hah." 


Six  thousand 
students  use  the  craft 
shop  each  year.  For 
some  it  is  their  second 
home,  while  others 
stop  by  occasionally. 
Some  people  see  the 
shop  as  a  place  to 
release  the  tension  of 
school  work.  Others 
ambitiously  make 
items  to  sell  on  the 
Campus  Center 
Concourse.  Then 
there  are  those  who 
use  the  shop  mainly 
during  the  Christmas 
rush,  when  the  place 
looks  like  Santa's 
workshop.

All  of  us  have  natural  networks  —  friends, 
family,  relatives,  and  neighbors  with  whom 
we  exchange  favors,  resources,  and 
information.  The  Resource  Network  at 
UMass  is  a  deliberate  attempt  to  bring 
this  natural  process  into  the  university 
setting  in  such  a  way  as  to  foster 
campus  wide  collaboration  toward 
more  effective  integration  of  student 
services. 

The  Resource  Network  originated 
five  years  ago  with  a  $40,000  grant 
from  Health,  Education,  and  Welfare, 
aimed  at  dealing  with  the  self  destructive 
behavior  of  students:  fragmentations, 
alienation,  and  abuse  of  drugs  and  sex.  Judy 
Davis  is  the  coordinator  of  the  Network,  and  is 
assisted  by  a  graduate  student  and  a  work  study 
employee.  The  rest  of  Network  membership  is  voluntary. 


The  Network  has  a  large  group  meeting  every  other 
Wednesday  during  the  academic  year  in  the  Campus 
Center.  Attending  one  meeting  is  the  way  to 
become  a  part  of  the  Network.  Each  session 
focuses  on  a  particular  issue,  whether  it  be 
how  to  better  serve  students  who  are 
considered  "non-traditional",  or  how 
information  can  be  more  effectively 
collected  and  distributed  to  students. 
Ruth  Hookc  (University  Without 
Walls),  a  four  year  member  of  the 
Network,  sees  it  as  serving  a  four  point 
service:  to  act  as  a  clearing  house  for 
what's  going  on;  to  initiate  new 
projects  that  no  one  else  is  pursuing;  to 
model  an  alternative  structure  through 


228 


networking,  and  to  provide  links  for 
those  who  don't  have  natural  links  to  other  groups. 

Judy  Davis  added  that  while  the  services  the  Network  provides 
the  students  are  neither  tangible  or  direct,  it  is  working  to  help 
renew  the  system  so  that  it  might  be  more  responsive  to  students. 
The  Network  allows  individuals  to  move  outside  their  work  and 
roles  and  boundries  and  enables  them  to  meet  other  people  from 
all  across  campus.  It  puts  their  own  work  into  better  balance  and 
perspective. 

In  a  university  of  this  size,  balance,  perspective,  and  context  is 
important  to  responsiveness.  The  Resource  Network  is  one  more 
proof  that  there  are  people  who  are  concerned  with  trying  to 
meet  the  needs  of  students,  in  a  personal  and  responsive  way.

It  wcis  a  dark  and  stormy  night.  The  phone 
rcing.  I  answered  it.  "Hello?" 

"Hello,  I'm  calling  from  Project  Pulse,  a 
student  survey  project  on  campus  which  is 
part  of  SAREO  (Student  Affairs  Research 
Organization),  located  in  Whitmore. 

"On  Wednesday  evenings,  from  5:00  to 
11:00,  we  assemble  to  conduct  phone  sur- 
veys on  a  variety  of  topics.  These  surveys 
are  requested  by  various  decision-making 
agencies  or  organizations  on  campus.  We 


have  conducted  surveys  for  the  dining  com- 
mons, student  activities  (like  the  Index),  the 
Campus  Center,  career  life  development, 
the  housing  office,  financial  aid,  and  other 
groups.  Surveys  of  general  interest  have 
also  been  done  on  subjects  like  presidential 
elections,  consumer  problems,  student  atti- 
tudes toward  campus  life,  and  attitudes  to- 
ward various  political  issues  like  the  Bakke 
case  or  Panama  Canal  issue. 

"The  surveys  conducted  by  Pulse  are  con- 


structed both  by  the  project  directors  and 
the  particular  organization  involved.  They 
are  designed  to  best  meet  the  information 
and  decision  making  needs  of  that  organiza- 
tion. The  time  between  construction  and  the 
reporting  of  the  interpretation  of  the  results 
is  approximately  one  month.

Tracy  Dooley  is  one  of  five  women 

employed  by  the  Five  College  Bus 

System.  To  become  a  bus  driver,  Tracy 

underwent  a  rigorous  three  week 

training  program.  She  not  only  learned 

how  to  drive  a  bus,  but  how  to  keep 

one  running  as  well.  Before  a  bus  is 

taken  out  in  the  morning,  a  circle 

check  is  conducted.  A  "circle  check" 

includes  checking  the  breaks,  lights,  air 

pressure,  oil,  tires,  and  turning  on  the 

bus  and  inspecting  the  engine. 

According  to  Tracy,  there  are  many 

arts  involved  in  driving  a  bus.  Double 

clutching  and  remembering  to  start  in 

neutral  are  just  a  few.  Being  a  bus 

driver  also  includes  dealing  with  the 

passangers.  Tracy  says  that  most 

people  are  great;  almost  all  say  thanks 

as  they're  getting  off.  But  there  arc 

those  few  that  make  assertiveness  one 

functional  art  of  driving  a  bus.

Wassail,  figgy  pudding,  great  food,  and  song  are  all  a  part  of 
the  festivities  at  the  annual  Madrigal  dinners.  Dressed  in  full 
costume  of  the  English  nobility,  the  Madrigal  Singers  perform  as  a 
group  and  in  quartets,  to  give  UMass  students  a  genuine  feel  for 
the  traditional  holiday  spirit  that  lived  in  the  Middle  Ages.

"What  do  you  wanna  do  tonight?" 

"I  don't  know.  Do  you  have  any  ideas?" 

"There's  supposed  to  be  a  good  play  at  the  Rand 

Theatre." 

"Nah.  How  about  the  dance  concert  at  Bowker?" 
"Maybe.  Wanna  see  that  X-rated  classic  in  the  CCA?" 
"Sexist!  Elvis  Costello  is  performing  in  the  Hatch  ..." 
"Punk!  Let's  have  some  class  —  how  about  the 

symphony  in  the  Fine  Arts  Center?" 
"Hmmm.  Sure.  Well,  wait  a  minute.  We  can  do  that 

stuff  any  time.  Let's  watch  "Donny  &  Marie". 
"Great!" 


Oh  well.

In  recent  years,  UMass  has  become  well 
known  for  its  caliber  and  quantity  of  jazz 
concerts.  The  spand  of  jazz  artists  who  have 
performed  on  campus  range  from  the 
legendary  giants  to  those  who  have  yet  to 
attain  international  success  and  acclaim. 
Without  question,  jazz  was  the  most  widely 
attended  variety  of  music  on  campus  this 
year.  The  combined  audiences  for  the  jazz 
shows  exceeded  20,000-

7- 


It  was  stressed  that  these 
events  were  not  concerts  by 
the  performers,  but  were  in- 
tended as  an  educational  ex- 
perience. 

Boris  Goldovsky,  known 
throughout  the  world  as  "Mr. 
Opera",  presented  an  opera 
workshop. 

Television  music  director 
and  world  famous  jazz  pianist 
Billy  Taylor  presented  three 
workshops  and  a  free  concert 
with  the  University  Jazz  en- 
semble. 

Additional  events  this  year 
included,  the  legendary  Soviet 
Pianist,  Lazar  Berman;  Antho- 
ny Newman,  harpsichordist; 
Oscar  Peterson,  reknown  jazz 
pianist;  and  Woody  Herman, 
noted  big  band  leader. 

These  events  were  offered

completely  free  of  charge. 

A  new  program,  designed  as 
an  educational  experience  in 
the  performing  arts  for  stu- 
dents and  members  of  the 
University  community,  start- 
ed this  past  fall  with  a  critique 
and  open  class  discussion, 
featuring  the  legendary  vocal- 
ist, Sarah  Vaughan. 

The  event  is  called  "The 
Special  Program  in  the  Arts", 
and  was  initially  sponsored  by 
the  Fine  Arts  Center.  Dr.  Fre- 
drick Tillis  and  former  Director 
of  Development  at  the  Fine 
Arts  Center,  Fritz  Steinway, 
coordinated  the  program. 

The  Special  Program  in  the 
Arts  featured  many  of  the 
artists  and  performers  who 
appeared  at  the  Fine  Arts  Cen- 
ter this  year.

For  the  third  consecutive  year,  the 
Boston  Symphony  Orchestra  and  the 
Boston  Pops  returned  to  perform 
triumphant  concerts  in  the  Fine  Arts 
Center.  As  in  past  years  tickets  to 
these  concerts  were  in  great 
demand.  Both  shows  sold  out  their 
first  day  on  sale.  The  crowds  were 
extremely  enthusiastic,  giving  long 
rousing  ovations.

Until  this  academic  year,  only  two 
Rock  and  Roll  shows  had  been  suc- 
cessfully booked  into  the  Fine  Arts 
Center  Concert  Hall.  This  year  the  Hall 
was  broken  wide  open.  The  Union  Pro- 
gram Council,  the  student  concert 
committee,  succeeded  in  producing  six 
contemporary  shows.  The  music  was 
mixed,  ranging  from  Randy  Newman  to 
the  Geils  Band.  Although  there  were 
some  minor  problems  with  these 
shows,  overall  they  were  hailed  as 
huge  successes.  Negotiations  have  tak- 
en place  to  insure  that  Rock  and  Roll 
will  be  able  to  keep  its  new  home  in  the 
future.

Within  the  umbrella  tag  of 
"Rock  Music"  there  is  cur- 
rently a  chestful  of  genres.  To 
name  but  a  few,  we've  got 
heavy  metal,  soft  rock,  jazz- 
rock,  art  rock,  country-rock, 
blues  rock,  acid  rock,  punk 
rock,  rock  and  roll,  power  pop, 
and  New  Wave.  It  is  that  last 
category  that  we  are  interest- 
ed in  here. 

All  "New  Wave"  is  is  a 
phrase  to  tie  together  a  grow- 
ing bunch  of  young  bands  who 
otherwise  have  little  in  com- 
mon. The  vast  range  of  musi- 
cal styles  that  fall  under  the 
banner  mean  that  there  is  a 
New  Wave  band  out  there  for 
everybody,  no  matter  what 
the  person's  musical  orienta- 
tion might  be.  Rockabilly 
lovers  can  certainly  appreci- 
ate Robert  Gordon;  heavy 
metal  fans  have  the  Sex  Pis- 
tols to  take  to  heart,  and, 
therefore,  anyone  who  enjoys 
listening  to  music  at  all,  who 
disregards  the  New  Wave 
without  so  much  as  even  a 
tiny  samplying  of  it  is  only 
cheating  himself. 

UMass  students  have  cer- 


tainly had  their  chances  to 
sample  New  Wave  music  first- 
hand over  the  course  of  the 
past  two  semesters.  The 
Bluewall  occasionally  features 
New  Wave  bands,  the  four-day 
Cars  stint  in  early  September, 
1977,  being  a  most  evently  ex- 
ample. Two  major  Union  Pro- 
gram Council  presentations, 
in  particular,  have  served  as 
New  Wave  showcases  at 
UMass.  The  Ramones  are  the 
rock  and  roll  equivalant  of  Sat- 
urday morning  cartoons  (the 
way  they  were  when  we 
watched  them,  not  the  junk 
being  served  up  nowadays). 
They  play  fast,  furious,  eter- 
nally catchy  three-chord  on- 
slaughts of  song,  and  their  No- 
vember 16,  1977,  concert  in 
the  Hatch  was  a  resounding 
success  for  nearly  all  involved. 
Warm-up  act  Willie  Alex- 
ander and  the  Boom  Boom 
Band,  a  long-time  Boston  rock 
and  roll  favorite,  also 
went  over  well,  getting  the 
crowd  to  its  feet  early.  Willie 
and  his  boys  also  opened  for 
Elvis  Costello  and  the  Attrac- 
tions when  they  hit  the  Stu- 


dent Union  Ballroom  March  1, 
1978,  and  the  sporadic  booing 
they  got  at  the  end  of  their  set 
more  or  less  matched  the 
tone  at  the  conclusion  of  the 
feature  event. 

Touted  as  the  next  Spring- 
steen, Elvis  came  out  of  seem- 
ingly nowhere  in  late  '77  to 
burn  up  the  American  charts 
with  his  debut  LP,  My  Aim  is 
True,  and  his  public  attention 
was  at  a  peak  when  he  arrived 
here.  Although  the  sellout 
crowd  loved  what  little  he  did 
play,  most  patrons  were  more 
than  disappointed  when  Elvis 
and  his  band  cut  out  after  a 
37-minute  set,  leaving  the 
sound  system  strewn  across 
the  stage  as  they  left.  Well,  as 
the  show  biz  saying  goes,  "al- 
ways leave  them  wanting 
more." 

Let's  hope  that  the  prob- 
lems the  Program  Council  en- 
countered in  dealing  with  the 
Costello  camp  does  not  deter 
them  from  bringing  to  campus 
any  further  New  Wave  acts. 
They  do  put  on  great  shows.

BLACK  CLASSICAL  MUSIC 


Archie  Shepp

Black  Classical  Music,  with 
its  range  from  slave  spirituals 
to  Ellington  orchestration,  ap- 
peared and  reappeared  in 
concerts  by  the  foremost  art- 
ists in  the  country.  The  1977- 
1978  academic  year  hosted 
vocalists  Sarah  Vaughn,  Shir- 
ley Ceasar,  Jean  Carn,  Vea 
Williams,  Terry  Jenoure,  Lynn 
Walker,  and  Helen  Humes.  In- 
strumentalists Max  Roach,  Ar- 
chie Shepp,  Marion  Brown, 
Charles  Majeed  Greenlee, 
Vishnu  Wood,  Mercer  Elling- 
ton, Bobby  Hutcherson,  Son- 
ny Fortune,  Abdullah  Ibrahim 
(Dollar  Brand),  Rene  McClean, 
Dexter  Gordon,  Pharoah 
Sanders  and  McCoy  Tyner 
were  just  some  of  the  fine  mu- 
sicians who  brought  big  bands 
and  combos  to  UMass  to 
share  the  heritage  and  innova- 
tions in  contemporary  music. 
Because  of  this  equality  in  mu- 
sic and  musicianship,  students 
were  able  to  listen  to  the  most 
innovative  lyricism  being  cre- 


ated from  the  storehouse  of 
Black  Music. 

Max  Roach,  returning  from 
consecutive  world  tours,  con- 
ducted workshops  in  the  mu- 
sic department.  In  fact,  be- 
cause of  the  new  Black  music 
major  included  within  the  of- 
ferings of  the  Music  depart- 
ment, other  artists  have 
shared  valuable  workshop 
teaching  with  students.  Slide 
Hampton,  Billy  Taylor,  Sarah 
Vaughn,  Max  Roach  and  his  si- 
demen,  and  others,  have  pro- 
vided insights  that  most  music 
students  never  have  the  op- 
portunity to  hear  or  see  dem- 
onstrated first  hand.  Profes- 
sors Max  Roach  and  Archie 
Shepp  recorded  an  album  ti- 
tled FORCE,  and  it  won  the 
highest  award  in  Europe  for 
music,  the  GRAN  PRIX  INTER- 
NATIONAL DU  DISQUE.  The 
Spring  Festival,  honoring  the 
late  Edward  Kennedy  Elling- 
ton, provided  students  a  con- 
cert musical  line,  from  the  Ell- 


ington Orchestra  under  the  di- 
rection of  Mercer  Ellington,  to 
the  authentic  blues  of  Junior 
Wells  and  Buddy  Guy,  to  the 
singing  style  of  Patti  Labelle, 
to  the  touch  of  grandness 
from  McCoy  Tyner  and  his 
group  which  include  George 
Adams  and  Guierelmo  Franco. 
The  concert  ended  with  the 
strength  of  an  eternal  Phar- 
oah Sanders,  finishing  an 
event  that  provided  the 
UMass  community  some  of 
the  finest  music  heard  any- 
where in  the  world. 

This  music,  called  Black 
Classical  Music  by  many  musi- 
cians who  perform  this  dy- 
namic art  form  must  continue 
to  struggle  because  of  an 
American  market  that  does 
not  appreciate  the  value  or 
beauty  of  a  form  of  music  in- 
digenous to  America,  having 
roots  in  Africa.

Sonny  Fortune 


Dexter  Gordon  with  Rufus  Reid  in  background 


The  Seventh  Annual  Black 
Musicians  Conference  was 
held  March  31  and  April  1,  and 
featured  concerts  by  the  Son- 
ny Fortune  Quintet,  Dexter 
Gordon  Quartet,  lecture-dem- 
onstrations, and  a  Black  Music 
update  workshop. 

The  weekend  events  were 
under  the  direction  of  the 
founders  of  the  conference, 
Bill  Hasson  and  Vishnu  Wood, 
and  was  sponsored  by  a  col- 
lective of  student  and  college 
organizations,  and  by  the  Na- 
tional Endowment  of  the  Arts 
(NEA). 

On  Friday  night,  Sonny  For- 
tune and  his  sidement,  Tom 
Browne  on  trumphet  and  per- 
cussion, Charles  Eubank  on  pi- 
ano, Wayne  Dochery  on  bass, 
and  Doug  Hammond  on 
drums,  transformed  and  satu- 
rated   a    large    audience    at 


Hampshire  College  Robert 
Crown  Center  with  music  that 
was  dynamic  and  vitally  alive. 

The  workshop  included  as 
panelists  Vishnu  Wood,  a  pan- 
elist on  the  NEA;  Reginald 
Workman,  Director  of  the  New 
Muse  Community  Music  Work- 
shop of  Brooklyn;  Stanley 
Crouch,  noted  music  critic; 
and  Joe  Brazil,  Director  of  the 
Black  Academy  of  Muse  in  Se- 
attle, Washington. 

Wood  emphasized,  among 
other  topics,  that  the  1977  al- 
location for  Jazz,  a  category 
of  the  NEA,  was  $644,000.00 
out  of  a  budget  of 
$13,327,000.00  or  4.8%; 
Workman  commented  that 
New  Muse  was  created  "out 
of  the  need  in  the  Black  com- 
munity to  establish  cultural  or- 
ganizations that  deal  specifi- 
cally with  music  and  the  per- 


petuation of  this  part  of  our 
heritage." 

The  sophisticated  giant  of 
Black  Classical  Music,  Dexter 
Gordon,  performed  at  the 
UMass  Student  Union  Ball- 
room. Accompanying  Dexter's 
liquid  but  bold  tenor  sounds 
were  George  Cables  on  piano, 
Rufus  Reid  on  bass,  and  Eddie 
Gladdin  on  drums. 

Dexter  played  many  old 
tunes  along  with  new  material 
from  recent  recordings.  A 
tight  rhythm  section  complet- 
ed a  strong  and  very  moving 
musical  unity  that  excited  ev- 
eryone there.  That  final  con- 
cert of  the  unforgettable 
weekend  made  clear  why  Dex- 
ter Gordon  is  called  the  "living 
legend  of  the  tenor  saxo- 
phone."

NEW  SONG  MOVEMENT 


Haciendo  Punto  en  Otro 
Son  and  Roy  Brown  are  two  of 
the  many  interpreters  of  the 
"New  Song  Movement"  (la 
Nu6va  Cancion).  The  "New 
Song"  is  the  rebirth  of  the  tra- 
ditional folkloric  music  heard 
throughout  Latin  America. 
Many  of  the  compositions  and 
arrangements  bare  their  roots 
in  the  typical  styles  distinctive 
to  each  hispanic  country;  and 
many  of  the  musical  instru- 
ments played  are  those  native 
to  the  culture.  Haciendo 
Punto  en  Otro  Son  and  Roy 
Brown,  both  poetic  Puerto  Ri- 
can  artists,  combine  their  po- 
etic musical  talents  with  cul- 
tural-political themes. 

This  conscious  creation  of  a 
"New  Song"  is  the  inspiration, 
the  re-awakening,  of  pride  in 
one's  people,  of  brotherhood 
and  sisterhood,  and  of  the 
struggles  for  liberation  which 
all  Third  World  nations  share. 

Another  group  which  per- 
formed at  UMass  was  the 
Grupo  Moncada,  Cuban  artists 
and  poets  of  what  is  referred 
to  as  "la  Nueva  Trova",  or  the 

"New  Troubadors".  Much  like 
the  cultural  and  political  orien- 
tation of  the  New  Song  Move- 
ment, the  New  Troubadors 
have  a  long  history  in  Cuban 
society.  Long  before  the  final 
independance  of  1959,  trou- 
badors from  the  countryside 
performed  and  tried  to  make  a 
living  through  their  art.  How- 
ever, as  in  most  capitalist  na- 
tions, their  talents  and  mes- 
sages went  unrecognized  and 
unappreciated.  With  the  liber- 
ation of  the  Cuban  people 
came  the  celebration  of  the 
"common  man  and  woman" 
and  his/her  art.

The  University  Chorale  and 
Chamber  Singers  are  a  group 
of  talented  individuals  who 
perform  for  audiences 
throughout  New  England.  Un- 
der the  direction  qf  Dr.  Rich- 
ard du  Bois,  their  repertoire 
has  increased  along  with  their 
popularity  to  such  an  extent 


that  they  were  invited  to  pre- 
sent their  concert  programs 
to  diverse  European  audi- 
ences. In  late  May  and  June, 
the  singers  traveled  to  Eng- 
land, France,  Switzerland, 
Austria,  and  Germany,  giving 
outstanding  concerts  in  two  of 
Europe's  most  famous  cathe- 


drals —  the  Notre  Dame  de 
Paris  and  the  Notre  Dame  de 
Chartres.  The  Department  of 
Music  and  Dance  is  indeed  for- 
tunate to  have  such  a  fine 
group.

THE  SPIRIT  WILL  DESCEND 

WITH  A  SONG  .  . 


252 


Accompanied  by  an  instru- 
mental ensemble,  the  Voices 
of  New  Africa  House  Work- 
shop Choir  perform  in  a  wide 
variety  of  styles.  Included  in 
their  repertoire  are  selections 
of  gospel  songs,  the  blues, 
black  classicals,  soul  and  slave 
songs  such  as  cries,  field  hol- 
lers and  shouts. 

This  unique  vocal  ensemble 
was  organized  in  1972  by 
famed  percussionist  Max 
Roach,  a  professor  at  the  Uni- 
versity, as  a  performance 
course  in  the  W.  E.  B.  DuBois 
Department  of  Afrikan-Ameri- 
can  Studies. 

From  1974-1977  Dr.  Hor- 
ace Clarence  Boyer,  Assistant 
Professor  of  Music  at  the  Uni- 


versity, an  authority  on  the 
Afrikan-American  Vocal  Tradi- 
tion, guided  the  "Voices" 
through  a  historical  and  con- 
temporary dimension  of  Afri- 
kan-American Music.  Under 
Boyer's  leadership  the  choir 
has  not  only  appeared  in  solo 
concerts,  but  with  such  well 
known  artists  as  Max  Roach, 
Ossie  Davis,  Reggie  Workman, 
Archie  Shepp,  Paul  Carter 
Harrison,  Dorothy  Love 
Coates,  Sallie  Martin,  Dee  Dee 
Bridgewater,  Cissy  Houston, 
Carmon  Moore,  the  Famous 
Boyer  Brothers,  and  the  Col- 
lective Black  Arts  Ensemble. 

Highlights  of  the  career  of 
the  choir  include:  a  successful 
tour    of    several    colleges 


throughout  the  United  States; 
a  concert  in  tribute  to  Thomas 
A.  Dorsey,  the  "Father  of  Gos- 
pel Music";  "Porgy  and  Bess", 
with  the  Springfield  Sympho- 
ny Orchestra;  "Gospel  Fuse", 
a  fusion  of  gospel  and  sym- 
phony; and  "Tomorrow  Has 
Been  Here  and  Gone",  a  musi- 
cal play  by  Thurman  Stanback 
and  Semenya  McCord. 

Under  the  present  direction 
of  David  Marshall  Jackson,  the 
assistant  director  and  organist 
for  the  "Voices"  since  1974, 
the  choir  has  served  and  sur- 
vived as  a  creative  and  preser- 
vative agent  of  Afrikan-Ameri- 
can Music. 


AIUL/HNILS  CN  ACTIINe 


By  Leila  Bruno 


To  go  from  the  student  life 
here  at  UMass  to  that  of  pro- 
fessional theater  is,  indeed,  a 
big  step.  It  doesn't  happen  too 
often,  but  once  in  a  while  a 
student  with  burning  ambition 
to  act  comes  along.  A  student 
like  Peter  Boynton  didn't  mind 
sacrificing  precious  free  time 
at  school  with  continuous  re- 
hearsals for  plays,  dance  con- 
certs, and  anything  to  do  with 
the  theater. 

A  music  theory  and  compo- 
sition major,  and  graduate  of 
1977,  Boynton  appeared  at 
the  Fine  Arts  Center  in  Octo- 
ber of  1977  with  the  stage 
production  of  "Cabaret".  Per- 
forming with  the  National 
Touring    Company    Bus    and 


Truck  Tour,  Boynton  played 
the  lead  male  role. 

During  his  four  years  here, 
Boynton  appeared  in  several 
plays,  including  "Hollow 
Crown",  "Pirates  of  Pen- 
zance", "Guys  and  Dolls",  and 
"Journey".  After  taking  a  vari- 
ety of  dance  courses,  he  be- 
came adept  enough  to  appear 
in  several  dance  concerts  with 
the  University  Dancers. 

Boynton  feels  that  the  only 
way  to  become  an  accom- 
plished actor  is  to  get  exper- 
ience from  on-the-job  training. 
"I  think  the  major  drawback 
that  prevented  my  friends 
from  breaking  into  acting  was 
that  they  became  too  aca- 
demic   about    it.    Going    to 


school  forever  is  ridiculous, 
you've  got  to  get  your  training 
from  doing  it!" 

Boynton  claims  that  it  was 
here  at  UMass  and  the  faculty 
that  influenced  his  career 
most.  "I'd  have  to  say  that  I 
got  most  of  my  encourage- 
ment here  at  UMass  from 
some  wonderful  people.  My 
voice  teacher,  John  D'Ar- 
mand,  had  tremendous  enthu- 
siasm and  confidence  in  me. 
Richard  Jones,  who  taught  me 
the  technique  of  jazz  dance, 
gave  me  the  presence  of  self 
—  of  being  looked  at.  I'd  also 
have  to  mention  Dr.  Robert 
Stern,  who  was  my  theory 
teacher,  advisor  and  lover  of 
the  musical  theater."

A  program  that  is  increasing  in 
popularity  each  year  is  the  Broadway 
Series  at  the  Concert  Hall.  This  year, 
road  companies  of  My  Fair  Lady, 
Grease,  Caberet,  Same  Time  Next 
Year,  and  Bubbling  Brown  Sugar 
were  engaged.  All  appeared  to  near 
capacity  or  sell  out  crowds.  The 
performances  of  each  were  both 
vibrant  and  exciting.  The  problem  of 
hearing  disability,  which  had  in  the 
past  hindered  Broadway  shows  in  the 
Concert  Hall,  was  alleviated  with  the 
purchase  of  a  new  house  sound 
system.  Equally  successful  were  the

Dance  has  become  a  popular  word  at 
UMass.  This  year  five  major 
professional  dance  companys  appeared 
at  the  Fine  Arts  Center  Concert  Hall. 
As  usual,  the  most  popular  single  event 
of  the  year  was  the  Nutcracker.  It  sold 
out  three  consecutive  shows.  The 
Jeffrey  Ballet  and  the  Alvin  Ailey 
American  Dance  Theater  were  also 
both  very  successful,  each  having  total 
audiences  of  over  3000.  In  the  past 
students  would  have  had  to  travel  to 
New  York  City  to  see  the  caliber  of 
dance  that  appeared  at  UMass  this 
year.
