Following the sessions and continuing for the remainder of the day, students visited the offices of their representatives and senators to find out their position and express the concerns which brought them to the Capitol. At 4:30 p.m., the stu- dents gathered on- the steps of the Capitol for a rally. Speaker after speaker, congressman after con- gressman lashed out at the Presi- dent and lauded the students for their efforts. Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill gave his support to restoring the cuts, as did numerous others, and the crowd shouted and chanted its approval. These activities did not go unno- ticed, The lobbying effort helped to inform students of the magnitude of the cuts and their effects. Accor- ding to Jim Malcolm, who led Trinity's delegation for COPUS, more students became interested af- ter the trip — both those who, went • and those who merely heard about it — and want to act to influence Congress's decision on financial aid. Malcolm said the trip gave stu- dents "the feeling that we accom- plished something positive. It pro- voked some awareness of the budget process, and that if we have any qualms about it, we can organize and go to Washington and let them know." Most of those wno went had not participated in a lobby or protest effort before. The Student Action Day clearly promoted opposition to the Reagan administration proposals, and the turnout emphasized the great con- cern students have about financial aid. Last year's cuts produced little reaction, while people are feeling these, according to Dan Cave, Pres- ident of the Connecticut Indepen- dent Student Coalition (CISC) which coordinates the state's COPUS chapters. When the PresL- ; dent proposed cuts last year, four Trinity students were among the 15 students from Connecticut who lob- bied in Wasington with 1200 others from schools around the nation. This year, almost 50 from Trinity and almost 1000 from Connecticut attended the National Student Ac- tion Day, with well over 5000 from acrdss the country.

Chaplain Tull said he doubts if any future draft law would provide for student deferrals. He urged any- one with questions to contact the chaplain's office or to pursue coun- seling through their own church or synagogue. Those who don't want religious counseling, he suggested, should try the American Friends Service Committee. March 16, 1982, THE TRINITY TRIPOD, P«ge 5 Announcements

Fifteen minutes later the Chapel idea was born. From this point for- ward, the creation of the Chapel was due to a close partnership between Ogilby, Mather, and the soon-chosen architect Philip Frohman. Each step of the building process, including the design, the materials and the workers, had to pass through the nitpicking scrutiny of each of these three. At the onset, Mather and Ogilby wanted to create a "perfect" building. Mather even said "I want to see this building of such a character that when you see it from any standpoint you will love it without reserve." The architectural firm of Frohman, Robb, and Little was consequently chosen to design the Chapel because William Gwinn Mather they too approached the project with this same dedication to create a perfect limestone from quarries located in building. When Frohman wrote, "it is Bloomington, Indiana. Coincidentally, absolutely essential that (the architect) this is also the location where limestone put into every portion of the design and was bought for the National Cathedral. execution of his work a sufficient Ground was finally broken for the measure of his own faith and life," he Chapel in November, 1929.

Le Compte is also respon- sible today for the Rose Window of the National Cathedral. Luckily, Mather was able to regain his fortunes in time, and everyone was repaid. Hence, finally, through the faith of «all those involved, the Chapel was consecrated on June 18, 1932 and ser- vices begun.

However, there are still uncarved blocks of stone, scattered throughout the Chapel area which await a sculptor. Clearly, the construction "will never end," as Ogilby was fond of saying. More importantly, the Chapel will be immortalized through the people whose lives it has touched. A Chapel is a place where people go during significant events in their lives, whether the event is a baptism, a marriage or a death. Last year there were 19 weddings held there, in addition to numerous baptisms and memorial services. Then, there are families who have held ceremonies in the Remsen B. Ogilby Chapel through several generations. For example, Seymour Smith graduated in continued from page A6 the Chapel, was married there, as were five college associated groups who at last his three children, his first grandchild proceeded to the main area for a was baptized there, and his ashes were finale service. the first to be placed in the Chapel The final stone was not laid until Memorial Garden.
