Another chapter in Trinity's con- tinuingfraternity/sorority saga was writ- ten on Friday, January 24. An open meet- ing was held in McCook Auditorium which was attended by three members of the Trustee Committee on Fraternities and Sororities- Chairman of the commit- tee Doug Tansill, Jim Whitters m, and Emily Barron Swenson sat on the panel, as well as Dean of Students David Winer. The forum was attended by well over 100 students. It was revealed that a clear majority of the students were mem- bers of Greek organizations when those assembled were asked for a show of hands. Mr. Tansill said that the meeting marked the fourth time members of the cpmmirtee had been on campus as they research their decision. This committee is charged with making a reccommendation to the entire Board later in the spring, which will then vote on the future of the Greeks. Friday's meeting was intended to let the students voice their opinions over the issue; the trustees spoke very little.

Very Hollywood, this scene, Aunt Terese, which you reconstruct every October 17th, your tears fall to benefit the trees and the earth and the weeds, and to edify me, the clench-fisted non griever, it would seem. Your honey floss hair bounces in heavy curls, as you sob, your Garbo gold-rims propped atop your heavy head. You are beautiful and tall, slim with sorrow. Rivulets of mascara run just right in dark streams, vanishing down the elegant hollow of your wrinkled white throat. You clasp a delicate lace tissue; daub, pat.

Very Hollywood, this scene, Aunt Terese, which you put on partly for me, as I sit atop the hill on your front seat, a balcony seat, far above you, far above it all.

Very Hollywood, this role, "widow", Aunt Terese, that you got stuck with four Octobers ago when Tio Juan got struck with three bullets in his head. That all, in itself was very Hollywood— the way that when we sped to St. Anthony Hospital, the patron saint you pray to for finding missing things, with two police cycle escorts on either side, like we were two ambassadors, fancy people, they wouldn't tell us why, and when we flicked on the news station MHN t£STa( they said he had been shot, three times in the head, Happiness is watching six freshmen frolic with emthusiasm as by his worker, the one who had threatened him before, they animate the characters from Charles Schultz's cartoon called him a sonof abitch, said he'd get even, that one Peanuts.
