Security is Under Fire 'mmm*® On the evening of September 4, a member of Trinity's security force was caught occupying the student activ- ities office in Ogilby Hall with an unidentified woman. After such an'incident, can we as students and faculty trust any personel that have been granted pass keys to dorms and offices throughout the campus? Whatever activity the officer was engaging in is not the issue in this case. The officer in question reportedly had used a student office for his own private practices. After such an incident, the respectability of the Trinity Security Department surely suffers. Having access to campus rooms must be strictly enforced. In all fairness to the college admistration, there has been no official statement made about the incident, pending further investigation. Yet the official statement of the witness was evidence enough to warrant a public statement. Trinity Security has a tremendous reputation for keep- ing the students safe from what is considered a dan- gerous area. Students feel comfortable around our campus, and security can surely be thanked for their efforts. Though there is no clear solution, Security should continue taking extreme care in hiring its officers, and maintaining the quality of service established over the years. We hope the case of this officer will remain an isolated case. THE TRIPOD WELCOMES LETTERS FROM OUR READERS.

The College appears unsure how to best utilize these valuable human resources. Like an incomplete renovation of a dorm, the mentor system is a great plan that has yet to be com- pleted. The difference, of course, is that the mentor system is not part of the physical plant of the college, but a living, and breathing academic/social program. For the mentor system to fulfill its exceptionalal prom- ise, it needs more focus and guidance from the College. The hiring of Chen and Silva is a tremendous start, but before the administration considers expansion, it should first consider in more detail the goals of the project itself. With proper care, the College will have a first-rate program which will benefit all parties involved.

It would be even more naive to say that American presidential administrations, Democratic and Republican alike, have not engaged in propaganda ploys - withholding certain valuable facts about an event and twisting others - in order to rally the American public behind a cause. It is simply the reality of politics and it is sometimes, though not always, justifiable. , Take the case of President Johnson and the Tonkin Gulf Resolution of August 1964. For months the administration had wanted to escalate the war and begin bombing North Vietnam, yet they were well aware that they first needed the support of-the American people and a congressional resolution. , Thus began what was called "Operation 34A." There is no doubt as to the provacative nature of this covert military operation. South Vietnamese naval commandos raided North Vietnamese islands, and two U.S. destroy- ers, the "Maddox" and the "Turner Joy," were on intelligence-gathering patrols in the Gulf of Tonkin. On August 2, North Vietnamese P.T. boats attacked the "Maddox," thinking that it was party to the South Vietnam- ese raids. On the night on August 4, Washington received similar radio reports of exchange of gunfire. It was never confirmed whether such an attack actually took place, and if it did, who shot first. Nevertheless, Johnson seized this perfect opportunity and ordered re- talitory air raids on North Vietnam. The next day, the Tonkin Gulf Reso- lution was passed by the House and the Senate. It allowed "the President, as Commander-in-Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against forces of the United States and to prevent further aggres- sion." Plainly and simply, the Tonkin Gulf Resolution was a declaration ot war which entangled us in the snarls of Vietnam — and it was handed to Johnson with the blessings of both the American people and the Congress. Similarly, all governments, including our own, play language games. In order to whip up support for the contras, President Reagan has often likened them to our Founding Fathers. He calls the contras our brothers. The contras are far from "Freedom Fighters" and the Sandinistas are not quite the evil totalitarians that Reagan has made them out to be. Yet, who is to say that all of the contras are bloodthirsty barbarians and the Sandinistas well-intentioning "democratic" leaders who are waiting to hand over power to the people?

With his dark eyes and '4 i r»»*** Fu Manchu moustache, Al Wiggins' could appear intimidating at first sight. But it would take only a few moments for even the most timid of freshmen to realize that a visit with Trinity's equipment manager is an experience to look forward to. Within the short time it takes to replace old whites with new ones, Wiggins always manages to offer a few uplifting words, or some humor, always accompanied by his distinctive and ever-ready laugh. For he is more than just an equipment manager, which is a hefty job in itself. He is . also a fast friend, someone you enjoy seeing, if only for a few minutes. But what Al is most of all is a character. This is the guy who, after being one of the first people to buy the new economy car the Yugo, was selected to help a CBS television crew from New York shoot a story on it. Sitting in the driver's seat, Wiggins leaned his head out the window and coined the phrase, "Where Al goes, Yugo," on national TV. As he> recalls it, "there was no script, just shoot from the hip."
