At first glance, it may not seem like an enticing deal­ giving up the comfort of home-cooked meals for a one-dollar lunch budget-but participants in the Chapel Council's Jelloh (January hperience of Living and Learning and Outreach in 1-iartford) program found the week of service to be both rewarding and humbling.

Rising early for morning prayer and Bible study, led by College Chaplain Dan 1-ieischman, the group then headed off to the work sites, priming walls at 1-iabitat for 1-iumanity houses and painting rooms at the Catholic Worker, a non-profit organi­ zation "working and praying for an end to violence and poverty" in the North ~nd .

Jim Bixby 'o8, pres­ ident of the Council, recalls that the "least fun job" was hauling the mud out of Joining the basement of the f.labit at house. Yet feeling part of a greater picture and mis­ Forces sion, Bixby and the others saw these homes not just as roofs over heads, but that "homeownership reduces poverty rates and increases the likelihood that kids will stay in school."

In the evening, a group of students would travel down to Mega i=oods, the local international market, to gather the gro­ ceries for the group. The neighborhood grocer, explains Bixby, "was an event in itself. There were things like chicken beaks and a common tag was 'miscella­ neous meat."' But it was an important component of the Jelloh program to get a taste of the neighborhoods in which they were working and to face head-on the harsh economic realities. "It was humbling at first. It's almost unimaginable to think that families live off it [the food stamps allowance]. We had to be creative with our meals, but we made it stretch," explains Bixby of the dinners that ranged from pasta to tacos to stir fry.

Living together, although men and women were split into separate campus houses, the group was able to build a community and take time during evening discussions to explore issues of faith and justice, explains Jim Schroeder, adviser to cam­ pus C hristian organizations and mentor on the Jelloh program.

Spring 2006 I trinity reporter 3 ~ i rst-Year class to read, discuss Graham Greene's The Quiet American

The Class of 2010 will begin its academic work at Trinity by reading and discussing Graham Greene's novel, The Quiet American. The book, which is set during the final years of l=rench colonial involvement in Vietnam, highlights incipient American attempts to influence t he course of events in that country. As the United States once again finds itself emerged in a stubborn guerilla war, the book provides opportunities for discus­ sion and reflection on foreign policy, the necessity for understanding other cultures, and the nature of military conflict in insurgencies.

The project was set in motion by Associate Professor of 11istory Jack Chatfield, who regularly teaches l=irst-Year Program seminars on the Vietnam conflict. After reading the book over the summer, incoming students will convene in discussion groups on the first Sunday after the beginning of classes. The groups will be led by faculty members and upper class student mentors and will be guided by a set of questions prepared in advance by Professor Chatfield. Chatfield notes that giving the book project promi­ nence in the ea rly days of the semester provides an opportunity for "a discussion that aims to exemplify the intellectual life of a liberal arts college." President Jones, whose office will underwrite the project, says, "I deem the first-year reading program a critical necessity. This is a very big step for us to take as an institution. Schools are crossroads of ideas, and our goal here is to have our newest fellow-learners begin their undergrad­ uate careers by reading and discussing a classic novel, whose major tenets are as note­ worthy today as they were the day the book was first published."

Trinity alumni who read The Quiet American over the summer are welcome to send their reflections on the book to the editor of the Reporter to be included in the letters to the editor section for the fall issue. Letters must be received no later than August 15. ~ditor, Trinity Reporter, Trinity College, 300 Summit Street, 11artford, CT 06106 or [email protected].

Global State of the Death Penalty

Victor Streib (far right), the ~lla and ~ r n est l=isher Professor of Law at Ohio Northern University, delivered the first annual !=red Pfeil Memorial Lecture on March 2, 2006. Professor Streib discussed ways in which the death penalty system is affected by the same forces that plague society at large, including discrimination based on race, sex, class, religion, sexual orientation, and poverty, all compounded by human error. Professor Streib's research publications have been cited 28 times in opinions of the United States Supreme Court. As an attorney, he has rep­ resented death penalty clients before the Supreme Court and several other high courts. The lecture was given in memory of one of Tri nity College's most influen- tial and dedicated human rights activists, the late !=red Pfeil, a professor in the ~nglish department, and was sponsored by the Trinity College 11uman Rights program.

Robot design teams from South Korea, China, Israel, Canada, and across the United States participated in the 13th Annual Trinity College f=ire-f=ight ing 1-lome Robot Contest, which was held at the College on April 9. This year's world champion was from Misgav 1-ligh School in Israel.

The annual competition involves true, com­ puterized robotics, not remote control devices, with divisions ranging from junior (8th grade and below) through expert. Local, regional, national, and international robotics enthusiasts, of all ages and levels of expert­ ise, come to strut their robots' stuff, compet­ ing and networking with like-minded counter­ parts from varying cultures and backgrounds.

The specific goal of the contest is for com­ puter-controlled robots to move through a model floor plan structure of a house, find a lit candle, and then extinguish it in the short­ est time possible. While the competition is meant to simulate the real-world operation of a robot performing a fire protection func­ tion in an actual home, one of the ultimate goals of the contest is to advance robotics technology and knowledge in general. f=or more information on the Trinity College f=ire -f=ighting 1-lome Robot Contest, go to www.trincoll.edu/events/robot.

"We are embarking upon a serious, comprehensive self-study as part of this process. It really is an invaluable opportunity to focus our attention, in detail, on specific aspects of the College-especially as they relate to the Cornerstone Planning Process."

The self-study to which Jones refers is perhaps the most cru­ cial element of the accreditation exercise. According to CII-J!;: guidelines, "To become accredited, and periodically thereafter, institutions are asked to engage in comprehensive and rigorous self-examination . . .. Usually lasting a year to 18 months, self-study involves the college or university commu­ nity in measuring and verifying its achievements and identify­ ing ways in which the fulfillment of institutional objectives can be improved." Trinity's self-study will concentrate on three areas of special emphasis: intellectual engagement and campus community, budgeting and planning processes, and urban and global engagement.

"We are hoping that this process will allow us to gain some clarity and unity as to what our priorities are, and should be, as a college," says Perkins. "There are so many great programs here that deserve support, and this self­ examination process should help us to reassert the direction of the institution. We want to get buy-in from all areas of campus because, going forward, we're going to have to make decisions that affect us all."

The findings of the self-study, as well as priorities and strate­ gies for quality enhancement identified through the process, will be summarized in a self-study report. This document is

Landmarks of Reformation printing

During the spring semester, the Watkinson Library hosted "Catalysts for Religious Change: Monuments of Reformation Printing," an exhibition that introduced some important aspects of the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation by displaying a variety of printed materials, mostly from the 16th century. According to Watkinson f.lead Librarian Jeffrey Kaimowitz, the Reformation is perhaps the first great historical event in which printing played an essential role. "We are very fortunate at Trinity to have rich holdings of original works from the period of the Reformation. The majority of the items on display are more than 450 years old. Like today, religious issues in the Reformation stirred deep and power­ ful emotions, and more often than not the views one espoused could be a matter of life and death."

Among the 70 books and pamphlets on display were four Luther pam­ phlets, among them his Sermon on the New Testament, that is, the f.loly Mass (1520) as well as a 1524 edition of his German translation of the New Testament, which first appeared in 1522. Other notable texts on display included a pamphlet by Zwingli (1525) and an important Geneva printing of John Calvin's Institutes (1553). the most influential of all Protestant Reformation theological works. Also on view were an early printing of the Catholic Index (1570), a magnificent copy of the Sixto-Ciementine edition of the Latin Vulgate Bible (1603), and a broad range of materials relating to the ~nglish Reformation capped by a first edition, first issue of the King James Bible (1611).

Having been exposed to the poetic prose of Homer as a semi-atten­ tive high school student, I first read the astonish­ ingly detailed accounts of bloody battles and encounters with gods and sirens as if they amounted to little more than mildly interesting but largely irrelevant tales from one more dusty volume of boring literature forced upon us by the school board. But the Iliad and odyssey are better suited for the spoken word, my lOth- grade English teacher might have told me. Perhaps she said something about them being part of a timeless oral tradition- a wonder­ ful vehicle for the lost art of storytelling. "Yeah right," I probably thought at the time. "Sure."

Spring2oo6 I trinity reporter 21 ourselves, we miss not only the ambiance of a responsive audience, but the sound and music of the rhythmic verse that convey so much of the drama. And there's plenty of drama in the Iliad: on the battlefield and in the Greek camp, at Hector's house in Troy, and on Olympus among the gods and goddesses. Homer reveals his characters' feelings and motives through their own words- the words he gives them, and so his epic is full of dramatic action; there's never a dull moment."

Sponsored by the Trinity Center for Collaborative Teaching and Research, and organized by Macro, the once-a-week lunchtime reading sessions continued throughout the spring semester, bringing together an eclectic sampling of the campus community. Jeff Kaimowitz, head librarian of the Watkinson Library, is a regular participant, as is Mark Silk, director of the Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion and Public Life. Alexandra Hoffman 'o8 and Andrew Baird 'o6 are among a small but loyal group of students who make it a point to fit our literary excursions to Troy into their busy schedules. "I've always wanted to participate in a live reading of the Iliad," says Silk, "and the chance to do it in Illustrations from 1-/omer, 1-/is /liads, translated and illustrated a mixed group of students, faculty. and staff has been a by John Ogilby, London 1660.

Studies on human memory and especially comparative work done in cultures with a still vibrant oral tradition now suggest that the works may have, in fact, been created by one author using the building­ blocks of a centuries-old epic tradition.

"The debate definitely still exists," explains Baraz, who earned her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2004 and plans to coordinate a similar read­ ing of the Odyssey in the fall. "Oral composition, the need and ability to compose while performing, explains the use of formulaic language for similar situations. An oral tradition lasting several centuries also accounts for men­ tions of objects and practices that no longer existed in Homer's time, such as particular weapons and battle practices. It is impossible to deny that the poems are part of an oral tradition: the 'material' arguments are weighty and the explanatory force of the oral composi­ tion theory is great.

t's a long way from being a self-styled "arrogant and impatient" Trinity first­ year student to becoming the "founding mother" of one of Connecticut's most important offices, but Barbara Fernandez takes it in stride. Fernandez, 54, who graduated from Trinity in 1974 with a B.A. in economics, is the first director of the newly created Connecticut Office of Insurance and Financial Services. In her new role, she's charged with the task of not only retaining, but increasing, the number of jobs in this troubled industry It's a challenge she calls "an honor," and one she tackles with equal parts pragmatism and enthusiasm.

But Fernandez laughs as she remem­ bers the time when she first kn ew she wanted to make a difference in the fi eld of economics.

"What I remember and appreci ate most about my Trinity days is the way the fac ul ty treated me," she says. "They all showed so much care. Dr. McKim Steele, in particul ar, who was my advis­ er, helped me develop not onl y mac ro­ economic theory, but my own thinking, too. I look back with embarrassment, because I was so arrogant and impa­ tient! But he would sit there and look at me with those kind eyes and li sten to my stupid comments. He never ro ll ed his eyes; I always felt he took every­ thing I said se ri ously. "

Fernandez considers that open- mind­ edness to be the best part of a liberal arts education. She recalls that, "when I came up with this crazy idea to do an independent study in Spai n, the school The first director of the Connecticut Office of was willing to take some risks."

Writer-in-Residence Lucv FERRISS offers several suggestions for readers who want to add something a bit more thought-provoking to their summer reading plans. Ferriss notes that "the following are a few treasures I ran across recently that could provide some alternative to 'beach reading'." Ferriss is the author of seven books, including Nerves of the Heart (2002), a finalist for the Connecticut Book Award. Her collection Leaving the Neighborhood and Other Stories was the 2000 winner of the Mid-list First Series Award. Other short fiction has appeared most recently in Missouri Review, Michigan QE:arterly Review, and Shenandoah, and has received recognition from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Faulkner Society, the Fulbright Commission, and the George Bennett Fund, among others.

RUSSELL SHORTO, The Island at the Center of the World (Doubleday, 2004; 400 pages) - This history of the brief, intrigue-packed rule of the Dutch over the island of Manhattan in the 17th century is not just informative, but gripping in its plot and moving in its portrayal of Adriaen van der Donck. Energetic, practical, hapless, and seized by the astounding possibilities of the New World, van der Donck stood in bright contrast to the sycophants and plodding businessmen who eventuaUy lost New Amsterdam to the English. I delved into this book as research for a historical novel I'm working on, but would recommend it to anyone who has spent more than five minutes in New York City.

JEANNETTE WALLS, The Glass Castle (Scribner, 2005; 304 pages) - Walls's memoir of growing up in a fan1ily whose abject poverty stemmed from her parents' utter disregard of personal responsibility focuses on the dark side of American individualism. Though the story of Walls and her siblings surviving malnutrition, squalid housing, and abuse is no romp in the park, the children's energy and ilie deeply affecting portrayal of WaUs's ambitious, alcoholic failier keeps iliis story moving through ilie last third of ilie 20ili century Walls is now a reporter for MSNBC.com, and you can almost taste the true grit iliat got her there.

10 trinity reporter I Spring 2006 "Poetry for me is not a hobby or profession but a vocation-a calling. Sometimes I wish it weren't so; I'd love to travel or garden or do more volunteer work than I do. But if I don't find a way to carve out writing time in most days, I get crazy. There's nothing mystical about it. Poetry structures my relationship with reality and creates a framework for meaning; if I can't put a powerful feeling or experience into words, that feeling or experience either slips away or overwhelms, and given my temperament, neither option is acceptable. So there's something a bit frantic about my scratching. I've put poems on napkins and bus transfers and in the white space of magazine ads-wherever I've found an inviting blankness.

"We're so lucky to have language-what if we'd never gotten beyond grunting and pointing? I wouldn't have done well as a Neanderthal; I would've sat in my cave and wept all day. Death, especially, exposes the powers and limitations of language. ~very funeral or memorial service I've been to has made me aware that language, like some kind of old-fashioned, fussy wallpaper, merely papers over all the bumps and crevasses. Yet, "ain't it wonderful," as my German grandma'd say? Without words-whether in hymns or homelies or speeches or poems-how would we deal with the too-muchness of the events and emotions that come our way?"

As an undergrad, Wooden thought he would either get his political scene and was running a campaign Ph .D. in politics or history or go study law, "but," he adds, for the l-lartford mayor's re-election bid.

In 1997, Wooden graduated magazine's " Twenty-!=ive Investment Professionals to from New York University School of Law and joined Day, Watch," and an investment and corporate lawyer at Day, Berry & ~oward , where he holds his current position.

Wooden attests that his time at Trinity helped set the foundation for his strong leadership abilities. President of the then-called Trinity Coalition of Blacks, Wooden engaged the college community, including the adminis­ tration and faculty, on the issues of racism on campus. The issues, he would come to find out, were not isolated to the ivy walls of academia. Wooden began talking to community organizations in ~artford , and soon became more involved with the city's politicians. Realizing for the first time the power of politics to shape policy and programs, Wooden found the ex peri­ ence rewarding. " Through politics, I felt engaged in the issues of the day-shaping pubic policy. I learned that being on the inside of government [as a key aide to the mayor] could give me the power to assist the community." After graduation, Wooden moved back to the North (;:nd and began to work with the local Democratic party. ~e eventually became Connecticut state director for the non-partisan group Project Vote.

But that didn't stop them. In fact, Quick admits, it worked to his advantage. "Only playing adults," he says, "really helped my game." Indeed, it did. Quick, who now plays profes­ sionally, is a four-time collegiate all-American and the winningest squash player in Trinity history-an admirable position to hold in a college program that boasts eight national championships. In this intense, fast-paced game, squash players must be extraordinarily focused, determined, and aggressive. f.lowever, Quick's approach to his game is as unconven­ tional as his mile-high background. "1-le's the calmest person I know," explains Trinity College 1-lead Squash bodies-particularly unique in this proper sport where Coach Paul Assaiante.

" I guess I do a good job of hiding it," Quick more like tennis at Wimbledon. The Trinity home crowd responds humbly. " I just go out there and have fun." cheers from the heart and doesn't hold anything back."' Attracted to squash from a young age, Quick, Coach Assaiante believes it is the "pride of what a small whose father was the president of the United States school in 1-lartford can accomplish"-even when up against Squash Racquets Association, says that in the world of some of the legends of collegiate squash programs. sport, there is something unique about this game.

84 trinity reporter I Spring 2oo6 news from the national alumni association

Dear Fellow Alumni/ ae,

As spring comes into full bloom on our beautiful alma mater's campus, we are reminded of the wonderful cycles that surround us and inspire us. For example, a few months ago, Karen Fink Kupferberg '73, a Connecticut native who attended Trinity with the help of financial aid, had the opportunity to meet LingYan Wang '08, who was able to come here from China with the generosity of a Kupferberg scholarship (see full story in "In the News" section). Recognizing the extent to which her college experience changed her life, Karen wanted to pass on sinlliar opportunities to other well-deserving applicants who, without the assistance of private scholarships, would not be able to take advantage of all Trinity has to offer. Those of us who have served with Karen on the National Alumni Association Executive Committee thank her for all of her work on behalf of Trinity and its alumni and wish her well as she joins the Board of Fellows.

Another alumnus whose personal experiences have inspired him to give back is Shawn Wooden '91 (you can read his full story in the Class Notes section). Born in the North End of Hartford and now a successful lawyer with Day, Berry, and Howard, Shawn assists many nonprofit organizations in the Hartford community and also has served two terms, or six years, on the National Alumni Association (NAA) Executive Comnuttee for which we are most grateful. In the Reporter article, he says that being able to help others has been one of his greatest rewards. For both Karen and Shawn, cycling back the opportunities a Trinity education granted them has set the stage for a new generation of philanthropically engaged alumni who are passing on the tradition of giving back.

We also recognize Wendy Biddleman Kingsbury '81 for her two terms of service on the NAA Executive Committee and her work on behalf of our alumni. Wendy was very instrumental in recommending and enacting changes to the manner in which the NAA operates today. Her leadership is greatly appreciated and will be missed.

For me and all the members of the National Alumni Association Executive Comnuttee, getting involved with the association has also been a fulfilling way to give back to the College. It means that we get to see firsthand the exciting developments on campus. At a recent Trustee meeting, for instance, I had the opportunity to meet Bao Pham '06, who is featured in this issue's "Along the Walk" for her work in seeking support for divesting from companies that do business in Darfur. Meeting Bao, as well as many other remarkable students and faculty members, is just one of the many extraordinary benefits to be gained by volunteering for Trinity.

There are a variety of ways and opportunities for you to reconnect, including: • recruiting new students as an admissions volunteer • getting involved in, or starting up, a local area club • becoming an annual fund volunteer

You too, can be part of the cycling back of support and energy that is so essential to Trinity and that is so personally rewarding. To find out more about how you can get involved, please contact me or Kathi Boelhouwer at (860) 279-4162 or [email protected].

Finally, I would like to thank the outgoing members of the NAA Executive Committee who have given their time and energy to the College over their term and who have helped to keep Trinity "blossoming" all year round and encourage you to consider becoming a part ofTrinity's future.

Regards,

Kevin Smith '87
