Our thanks to Miss Woodward for her identi­ fication. We also have had a number of requests for identification of last issue's cover photo (re­ printed here) of the women graduates of 1903. Our records indicate only that the two ladies seated in the foreground are Julia Seligman and Eleanor Gleason. The others in the photo are Ida Glen, Evelyn O'Connor, Ruth Dennis, Elea­ nor Sarle, Kate Otis, and Margaret Hopeman. Since we now believe that Margaret Hopeman is at the far right, we wonder if the identification as listed here is in order from left to right. Can anyone help?-Ed.

To the editor: Many thanks for running the letter from Ellen Allen (Haglund 'B). It made the Spring issue of the Review more enjoy­ able for me and I'm sure for other "old­ timers." Ellen was a little ahead of me in many ways-but not much. In 1912, when I matriculated for football and other edu­ cation, she was a senior classman and what she writes hits the heart.

Record, they do research on major legislation, and they even make rec­ ommendations to "their" Congress­ man on how they should vote on particular bills. "You develop an area of expertise," said Berman, explaining why a col­ lege student might be competent to advise a Congressman. "The final decision on how to vote is based on a number of factors, including staff recommendations." Berman's "area of expertise" was in air travel. A long-term project on which he assisted throughout the internship was a bill requiring emer­ gency medical supplies on long­ distance flights. Working with a legislative assistant, he did research and wrote testimony for Drinan to deliver to the Health Subcommittee of the Interstate and Foreign Com­ merce Committee. He also wrote statements on human rights, energy, and foreign relations for Drinan to enter into the Congressional Record. Berman also found out that "full time" meant just that. His official working hours were 9:00 a.m. to to put in a full day and then go out in lem.

7 "I found out how a Congressional office really operates," said Amy Wachs, who was on the staff of Con­ gressman William Cohen of Maine, "and how Congress and the govern­ ment function." She also learned about a different part of the country: a resident of Ohio, she tackled prob­ lems faced by people living in Maine. (One requirement of the program is that students may not be placed in the offices of their own Representa­ tives or Senators.) It's fair to say that DR interns learn from every experience they have in Washington, according to Fenno. "If we choose well, the students we turn loose in Congress are students who regard every form of behavior they observe as something to be puzzled over and explained and who regard every idle moment as an opportunity wasted. "There are benefits on the personal side, too-a broadened cultural per­ spective, a feeling of personal inde­ pendence, a developed sense of pur­ pose in their lives," he added. The students agree. "It was fan­ tastic to be in Washington," said Miss Wachs. "The city is so exciting. And for political science majors, especial­ ly, it's so valuable to be here." Berman cites another benefit: the opportunity to attend receptions as Drinan's representative and to meet government people in an informal setting. Since the DR program began, about 75 students have interned for Representatives and Senators from about 25 states. Of the approximate­ ly 20 applicants each year, only about 10 (or fewer) are chosen. All partici­ pants to date have been A students, said Fenno. Those who are accepted find jobs on their own, although Fenno is avail­ able to offer advice. Amy Wachs' ex­ perience is typical. She applied to 10

/II often logged 10- to 11­ hour days, because the more I did, the more inter­ esting things they gave me to do."

Legislators ranging from Bella Ab­ zug to James Buckley have offered positions to UR's interns, but the cen­ ter of gravity, Fenno, said, has re­ mained "heavily liberal, Democratic, and in the House of Representatives." Berman and Miss Wachs worked for New England legislators this spring; Preston Halperin and Randy Hardock for New York State Congressmen; Lori Kohen, Barbara Fishman, and Richard Gordon for Representatives from Iowa, Oklahoma, and Michigan, respectively. Over the years, problems have been few and minor. Fenno said a.. small number of students have found they lacked the personal qualities necessary for the program to be suc­ cessful for them. The prospect of re­ adjustment bothers some students when they think about returning to the campus for their senior year. Fenno and the interns call the pro­ gram a success. "It gives the students a chance, in a formative period of their lives, to tryon politics for size," said Fenno, "and to think of them­ selves as future public leaders." Many of them, he believes, will re­ main active in politics and will help run the public affairs of this country. •

11 A Plan To Save Amateur Athletics

By Ron Roberts

Gerry Zornow '37, who once hurled a no-hitter for UR, thinks the Commission on Olympic Sports may have been the 'relief pitch­ er' needed for the job.

12 First, the good news: Many private corporations are ready and willing to offer financial support to the U.S. Olympic and amateur sports sys­ tem, according to Gerald B. Zornow '37, chairman of the President's Commission on Olympic Sports and recently retired chairman of the board of Eastman Kodak Co. Now, the bad news: The executives of many of those corporations, according to the commission's report, have been turned off by their perception of amateur sports as "fraught with jurisdictional disputes and managerial incompetence."

Fortunately, there's more good "Financing in general is quite a dis­ /I A good many corporations would news. Somebody finally has done turbing problem," Zornow said.

13 mendations of the report-the ground rules for financing individual athletes. The commission recommended that amateur athletes be allowed to accept all sports-related revenues (such as from endorsements), with the excep­ tion of money offered for competi­ tion. A professional athlete in one sport, the report says, should be per­ mitted to remain an amateur in all others, and "open" competition be­ tween professionals and amateurs, currently banned under U.s. Olympic rules, should be permitted. "This is an area that still requires some deep research," Zornow said. "The people who finally draft the legislation will have to take another hard look at that." But, Zornow said, the commission, which included former Olympic champions, four U.S. Senators, four Congressmen, educators, both male and female, and business people, worked hard to supply the answers to many sticky questions. "We had meetings of the entire commission about every two months," said Zornow. "That doesn't mean that all 22 members were at every meet­ ing, but we had very good attendance. The first five or six meetings were completely devoted to the explora­ tion and identification of the prob­ lems as analyzed by the different organizations involved. We had rep­ resentatives from all the governing groups of amateur sports appear be­ fore us, and generally we found a most cooperative attitude. The last four or five meetings were devoted exclusively to working on our recom­ mendations for correction of the vari­ ous problems." The work in executive sessions, he said, was made easier by the ana­ lytical abilities of one commission member in particular-television newscaster Howard K. Smith. "To it, say 'This is the road' or 'That is Women in Sports-Women continue me, he was the outstanding member the road.' He'd keep us on the right to suffer from a lack of well-struc­ of the commission," said Zornow. "As track." tured, varied programs.

14 is the attitude of the general public toward female athletes. Specifically, national sports policy in this area might include establish­ ment of a program to educate the general public to effect a change in attitude toward women in athletics. The C.S.O. should also support the establishment of programs to provide women with careers and opportuni­ ties to participate in sports. These might include, for example, grants, loans, scholarships, clinics, and sem­ inars.

28 They Don't ALL Run Trains By Ellen Ruppel Shell

"What do you think an engineer does?" UR undergraduate Jerry Aron queried a classroom of sixth graders at Hamilton School in Rochester. "He puts stuff together," said one. "He does drawings," said another. "He operates trains," chimed in a third. "Wrong!" Jerry interrupted (he had obviously been waiting for that one). "The kind of engineer I'm talk­ ing about doesn't fool around with trains." Jerry and fellow engineering major Janet Robinson went on to explain that their kind of engineer "takes the laws of nature and puts them to practical use." They then handed out a large supply of plumber's help­ ers and allowed the youngsters to see for themselves just how practical a study engineering can be. It wasn't long before Mary understood that it was air pressure that was causing her plumber's helper to stick to Johnny, and that she could learn more about this strange and wonderful phenom­ enon simply by studying engineering. Engineering educators are finding that many children haven't the va­ guest notion of what an engineer does, and fewer still have any idea of how to go about becoming one. Many youngsters go through school with­ out taking the math and science courses prerequisite for the under­ standing of basic engineering courses and are thereby excluded from the field before they even enter college. Janet Robinson explains to a sixth grader some of the practical aspects of engineering.

"Identity Crisis," it appears, has taken on an identity of its own. At least there are quite a few alumni who aren't willing to allow us to stop the feature right now. After we announced in the last is­ sue our intention to shelve "Identity Crisis" for a while, we received a cou­ ple of letters offering further identifi­ cation of the picture at the left, and Dr. J. R. Van Ostrand '55 of Seattle sent in the photo below to be identi­ fied next time. Here are the three letters, includ­ ing a reprint of Dave Levey's note, concerning the strange event pictured at the left-Ed.

To the editor: The two "innocent bystanders" in your Identity Crisis photo (Winter issue) are Art Krohn at the far left and Bernard (B.Z.) Zions. The other two gentlemen, who seem to be washing the windows of the then-new women's dorm of the River Campus, are unfamiliar to me. However, they both seem to be totally engrossed in their work and are to be commended. David M. Levey '57 Jericho, New York

To the editor: I'm afraid that Dave Levey's accuracy is not quite 100%. While I agree with him that one of the "innocent bystanders" is Art Krohn, I, unfortunately, was not the party of the second part. I recall quite clearly that on that night I was either studying for a Soc. exam or examining the spring flowers in Genesee Valley Park. Those bystanders, by the way, were re­ inforcements who relieved the window washers as they tired from their labors. While I cannot identify the "me" of the photo, the left-handed window washer seems to resemble Jack Levy '59. Bernard "B.Z." Zions '57 Rye, New York

To the editor: The gentleman featured in the center of the picture is my former roommate, David Linderman. The gentleman direct­ ly behind him is me. The scene, as I gen­ erally remember, took place outside the women's dorm on a warm spring evening in 1956. David G. Sutliff '59 New York, New York
