A biology course wirh Herman E. Eure (PhD '74) mfluenced her decision ro become a biology major. An tntroducrory course in philosophy wtth Charles M. Lewis ('63) developed her interest in philosophy. Merritt said, "Biological laws have to apply to every living thing. Philosophy is a srudy of how people think-how the besr minds have thought in the past, where rhey found meantng, and why."

At the end of the summer, she chaired one of the sessions and presented a paper on her research-a rare achievement for an undergraduate. Merritt works hard on her courses, bur she does not bury herself in the classroom, the library, and the laboratory She has been a member of the women's rrack and cross-country teams for three years, spent part of her sophomore year in Italy as a member of the Unsversiry's Venice program, and she is an active member of the Literary Society. She also enjoys besng wtth her friends. "The friends that I have also enjoy talking about books. Bur we're not high-minded people. We like to have fun. It's just such a pleasure to have people to share rhsngs with. Irs all I could ask for," she said. University faculty and administrators are pleased bur nor particularly surprised by Merritt's success. Dean of the College Thomas E. Mullen said, "She's one who uses her rime wisely. She has rhe kind uf discipline that a long-distance runner has ro have. She's one who can apply that kind of discipline across the board." Associate Professor of Biology Carole Brown, who is Merritt's academic adviser, said, "She's unique because she's enthustasric about learning. She's very good at raking what she learns in one class and applying it to other areas." And how does Merritt feel about her success? "I owe it to nearly everybody I've ever spent time with here and at home," she said. "J feel like I have had such good fortune ... .! feel like I have ro give somerhing back."

My camouflage fatigues, once foul wich the odor of dry sweat and rotting jungle grass, lay folded neatly, fresh and clean, in a neglected cardboard box in the aerie. The night of September 9, 1985, I saw Neil again on rhe news in what was an almost absurd, a gonizing, cameo performance. The newsclip had Neil filming a seemingly placid, bloodless coup. A small curious crowd is meandenng tn front of rhe government building when a tank gunner opens fire. Neil pans the scene, from the tank crew ro rhe crowd, perhaps a hundred meters away. A faint, muted cry of pain breaks above rhe confusion. His sound man, Bill Latch, is hir in the chest, chen in rhe legs. Neil, seeing Larch fall to rhe ground, half-shouts in quick cadence, ''Help, help. . :· to draw attention co Latch while continuing to film. The machine gun is silent.

Then, Neirs face crashes to rhe ground a meter away bur within rhe range and focus of the cameras viewfinder. Neil, his eyes in disbelieving agony, scares bnefly at rhe indifferent lens. The camera, the mechanical marvel it is, captures Bill Latch in rhe background as he tries ro claw his way co safery,dragging his useless legs like rwo weighty hams and leaving a scream of blood. The viewer hears a faint query, '' Is Neil okay?" then someone picks up Neil by the wrist and drags his lifeless body away from the hail of gunfire.
