LIBRARY COMPUTER CONSORTIUM FORMED

The Trinity library has embarked on a new, collaborative effort with the Connecticut College and Wesleyan University libraries to computerize their holdings and some operations. Trinity librarian Ralph S. Emerick explained that the venture was under­ taken because the three colleges and their libraries are similar in size and structure, and all three are eager to make the move to computerization. When completed, the three colleges' in­ tegrated library system will feature an on-line catalog, taking the place of the existing 3x5 cards, and a database management system, computerizing se­ 2 lected operations of library staff in cir­ culation, acquisitions and serials. As a first step, each department in the library completed a detailed needs assessment to determine which aspects of its work had computer applications. l' Next, representatives of the three li- 8 braries, with consultant Rod McGee of -;:­ Chicago, began work on a proposal for ~ the system, which was submitted to ~ five computer manufacturers offering ~ the greatest number of features desired POET ALLAN GINSBERG spent an evening on campus this fall reading his for the library system.

A $125,000 grant from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving will fi­ nance most of the costs of renovation; Trinity will contribute another $25,000. The College has absorbed de­ velopment costs and will make a sub­ stantial interest-free loan to the corporation to help with start-up costs. The Center will be run by a full-time director and a professional staff. It is expected to become a self-sustaining operation.

with top New York companies over the semester break. The consortium approach differs from the traditional method used by employers to recruit college seniors in that the interviews occur earlier - most corporations visit campuses dur­ ing the spring - and because the stu­ dents visit the employers, rather than the other way around. In addition, cor­ porations are able to pre-select the stu­ dents they will see, based on resumes submitted to the companies about a month in advance. Each potential em­ ployer can choose 2 or 3 students from each school to interview.

HABERLANDT GETS MAJOR GRANT

Dr. Karl Haberlandt, professor of psychology, has been awarded a $95,000 grant by the National Science Foundation for research on reading comprehension. The grant, which will be used over a two-year period, will support investiga­ tion of certain cognitive processes as­ sumed to occur during reading. This research, which involves examination of the different levels at which reading comprehension takes place (e.g., the word, sentence and text levels), is con­ sidered important for the development of theories of reading. The absence of adequate reading theories is thought to 6 impede reading instruction at both the beginning and remedial levels. This is the fourth grant that Haber­ landt has received from the National Science Foundation during his career. In 1981, he was awarded a $56,000 re­ search grant for the study of "sche­ mata" in simple stories, and that same year, he won a $23,000 grant which supported his research at Carnegie­ Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

Trinity's Shield of Victory

A gifted quarterback wraps up four record-breaking years.

The the ball in a tight spiral to the only place the ball can name Shield has expunged virtually all previous ones in the Trinity record book. And he hasn't just broken the records, he's destroyed them, setting them at lev­ els, it is safe to say, no future Bantam will touch. He's been the leader heads turn to in the huddle since the second quarter of the second game in his freshman 10 year. Head coach Don Miller, a veteran of eighteen years and not one given to hyperbole, says simply, "No one person has had as much impact on the pro­ gram since I've been here. He's a once-in-a-lifetime quarterback for me as a coach." As great a passer as he is today, it is hard to believe that he ran a ball control offense at Brattleboro High School, throwing the ball "maybe five times a game my senior year when we aired it out." Indeed, at that time he had not come to the attention of Coach Miller. To help prepare for college football and aca­ demics, Joe went to Worcester Academy for a year where he "learned the basic mechanics and funda­ mentals." Joe explains how he heard of Trinity and made the fateful decision: "There were three teachers at Worcester who had gone to Trinity. They got me to look at the school and it only took one look. This quickly became my number one choice." After rejecting Division I-AA Yankee Conference schools, Joe expected a freshman year of learning at Trinity from Coach Miller and senior quarterback Pe­ ter Martin. Everything changed ten minutes into the season. Martin's jaw was broken, the season seemingly shattered. Midway through the next week's game, the job was Shield's for good, a freshman thrust into the spotlight. "I was nervous," Joe admits, "because each team was a new experience and I didn't know what to expect. Luckily, we had a great line and defense and Coach Miller instilled confidence in me." The coach confesses to being nervous too for a while, but Joe put an end to that. "I thought he was the top athlete of his class but I was uneasy for a month. Joe responded to the challenge very well and then I could relax." The rest, as they say, is history: four winning sea­ sons, records passed and re-passed, wonderful memo­ ries of scrambles and long bombs soaring through the crisp autumn air, a pair of weekly Golden Helmet JOE SHIELD'S awards and the 1983 Golden Helmet (as top New Eng­ GREATEST DAYS land Division II-III player). 11 After such success, how does he stay psyched? What does he think about in terms of goals? Modestly, Joe 1983 says, "There's always something to work on. I'm never satisfied."

The career marks are even farther out of reach. Pass attempts went from 506 to 845, pass completions from 315 to 476, passing yards from 3574 to 6646 and touchdown passes from 27 to 52.

The enthusiasm was no less conta­ gious earlier this year when the "new" renovated Mather reopened. Before it was fully refurbished and expanded in the renovations, the student center was straining at the seams, despite having been enlarged once previously in the 1970s. Particularly in the food service operation, the building lagged behind in meeting the needs of a growing stu­ dent body.

Food service director Robert Schondelmeier reports that there are 200 additional students on the meal plan this year, reflecting, he says, "the improved atmosphere and ambience of the dining and serving areas." In­ creased storage and preparation space 20 in the kitchen, along with judicious new equipment purchases, have re­ sulted in much greater flexibility, he says.

"The added rooms allow us to have even more events on the same day," said Schondelmeier, adding that increas­ ingly events are being moved to Mather from other locations on cam­ pus. Indeed, in one 31/z-week period in October, 308 events were held in Mather, according to Anne Gushee, director of calendar and special events. Informal use ofthe building is also up. Vice President Thomas A.

OTHER SUCCESS STORIES of the renovations are: the Washington Room (top), due to new food service access and storage; the new lounge (cen­ ter), with its cathedral ceilings and terrace; and the terraces and patios on all three levels (bottom), here, the scene of the senior dance.

Commenting on the successes of the revamped facility, President James F. English, Jr. noted that some of the fo­ cus of student life has shifted to Mather, making the building more nearly what it should be - a center for student activity.

VOLLEYBALL (6 .. 7),====:====:====:====:====:

If you followed the sound of the roar of the crowd to Unit D this fall, you found Trinity's first-ever wom­ en's volleyball team, a club sport coached by Trinity postmaster Ernie LaRose. Playing a schedule of estab­ lished varsity teams, save one, they posted a 6-7 re­ cord. For anyone whose conception of volleyball includes the sun and the sand and a beer in one h and, this brand was quite different. This was no "Beach Blanket Bingo" volleyball game. Instead, it was fast-paced, en­ thusiastic, hotly-contested volleyball played at a high skill level replete with slamdunk spikes, line-drive serves and bodies flying all over the court making great saves. Led by Captain Sis VanCleve, who won MVP, they 28 were a spunky, hustling group that made up for a general lack of height and even swept a doubleheader in their first contest. Other key performers were Kath­ leen Strauss, Kris Cadelina, Debbie Smith, Chever Voltmer, Mary Anne Stillwell, and the team's lone senior, Tracy Mastro.
