His emphasis was on the contact between Traces Chinese and Japanese culture resulting in, as he put it, "the Japanese spirit." The purpose of the series, as summed up in opening remarks by President Roots Lockwood, is to promote a fuller un- derstanding of Japan and its people. "Japan-The Chrysanthemum and The Sword," is the title of the five-part lec- ture series running from Oct. 15 to Nov. Of 12. The lectures will approach Japan from political, social and artistic directions. The Town-Gown Forum's raison- Japanese d'etre, according to Mrs. Kimberly Cheney, chairwoman, is to make available Trinity's intellectual resources to the surrounding community.

This not withstanding, however, the audience last Saturday night at the Goodwin Theatre took its cue from the Dance Faculty Concert's title-"Trains of Thought"~and became not only receptive to the dance it- self, but also perceptive to the meanings behind it. The program opened with Wendy Perron's "Flowering Bones", music by Franz Schubert, and was dedicated to Oscar Wilde. The three performers, Wendy, Regan Frey, and Risa Jaroslow, soaked every move in meaning, portraying a listlessness and constraint that spoke of thd> myriad, mumbling, floating voices in Wilde's life. There was a sweeping of the leg, a limpness in the arm, and a quizzical tilt to the head that seemed to mourn the bits of con- versation and half-remembered cocktail- party phrases that surrounded Wilde.

An Interview With Howard Goldstein A Few Things You Always Wanted To Know About Howard But Were Afraid To Ask by Steve Roberts and PeteSebekos Howard Goldstein is a Trinity senior from Stamford, Conn., with a par- ticular predicament. In relationships where people are hindered by invisible barriers, true friendship seems to be something hard to come by. Perhaps due to a physical handicap which he has had to deal with, Howard did not have the time to develop the many inhibitions we "fortunate" people have created within ourselves. Jn the following interview Howard has told the Tripod some of his experiences here at Trinity. He explains his interactions with the Trinity community what it has been and what it possibly could be. Tripod: What brought you to Trinity? Goldstein: Well, when I was applying to schools I didn't have any idea of what I wanted in a college and my mother just said one day 'Why don't you apply to Trinity?' I said 'What's Trinity?' It turned out that there was someone else that I knew vaguely who was blind who had gone to Trinity, so I thought I'd check it out. The things I liked about Trinity were, when I came here for my interview they didn't seem too overly concerned (about his blindness); but in the long run the in- terview mainly dealt with how I would get along. The thing was, after I was accepted, I came up one day. I was pretty sure I would gb here, and I came in to talk about possible courses with the assistant registrar, who was then Lou Governor. I said I was probably taking a math course and i would need the book in advance. So I went to see him, and Mr. Stewart, of the math department came running in to talk to me about math. It was really great. I think the thing that really sold me on Trinity was the cooperation I got from the administration and from the people on campus in general. Tripod: Could you tell us a few things about your first days on campus? Goldstein : Well, I came up the day before orientation with a mobility instructor from the state. By the time the freshmen arrived I knew more about the campus then they did, and I Photo fay Al Moore can remember taking my roommate to the gym to register. Howard Goldstein (sitting) adjusts the volume controls while Jack Santos When my roommate came he had no idea that I was blind. He was just a name to me and I was just a name to him. I really don't know if the R. A. told him anything. I just plays a tape cartridge in the production studio of WRTC. Goldstein has worked walked in and my roommate said 'hello' and that was that. There were no questions, it for the station for several years. was really great. It was just like 'Howard is my roommate, this the way he is, this is I think the worst problem among sighted people in general is their ignorance how its going to be.' about people who are blind. People who meet someone who's blind naturally assume Tripod: that since he's blind he's also deaf, which doesn't make any sense. There are some people who don't want to ask me a question, they want to ask the person that's with Do you think there is good reason for the Tripod to publish this story about you?" me. For example, they'll ask 'does he want ketchup on his hamburger?' Goldstein: This might embarrass some people, but my first three years here I lived on the first "It is in the respect that it will hopefully get people not to be afraid to talk to me. floor of Elton; this, year I live on the second floor of Cook. Somebody asked my This thing that I think is most important is that the article bring out that I'm just a roommate 'You're living on the second floor, how does Howard climb the stairs?'

I student who has his particular problems like everyone else, and nothing out of the don't care if people ask me questions about it. ordinary, this article will be worthwhile. • __^ I think another thing I'd like to say is that most of the time when I'm walking along I do know where I'm going, contrary to some people's beliefs. There are some people that when they see me going past the entrance of Mather say to me, 'Do you want to go into Mather?' and they pull me back. One thing I really resent is when people just grab me and pull me in some direction. The least they could do is ask, Sometimes I don't know where I'm going; then I really do appreciatehelp. When
help discourage people asking again. Tripod: In what way can people help you on campus? PIZZA HOUSE Goldstein: •'•«•' Recently I put up a sign that I needed readers and I got really good response, Right (ACROSS FROM TRINITY COLLEGE) now I don't need anymore help in that respect. At the moment I have a list of 12 people but if that comes up again, it's one way that people can help. I guess one place where I need a lot of help is in the dining room. I've had some really strange experiences in there; some people want to help and they don't know 287 NEW BRITAIN AVENUE how. It's not that difficult. I can pick up ray tray and all that, I just have trouble getting from the main line over to the salad bar and over to a table. A lot of times HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT people help me all the way through the line and then just leave me at a table, alone. Tripod: Going back to schoolwork, how do you manage in classes? Richard Staron, Prop. Goldstein: My books are mainly on tape, and most of my textbooks come from an agency called Recording For The Blind, whch is a nationwide organization. They have 24,000 books and are adding more every day. Everybody asks about braille. Most of my textbooks, as I said, are on tape. One reason I don't use braille is just that it is so big. I took Old Testament a few years ago and I had the entire Old Testament in braille, 30 volumes. I had an entire wall of my room filled with books. I told Dr. Gettier that my Bible was in 30 volumes and he said, 'Well you don't have to bring it.to class.' DELICIOUS PIZZAS & In classes I use my tape recorder to take notes. I have a special gadget that looks like a gas mask but it's actually a microphone and I talk into it. People ask me how I do my papers. I type. And people ask me how I can do it if I can't see the keys. But you're not supposed to see the keys anyhow. HOT OVEN GRINDERS Tripod: How has humor effected your relationships with people here at Trinity? Roost Beef Grinders Goldstein: , • ' ' ' " , Well I do joke around a Jot., There are people who are a little bit scared and they say "Well he's blind you know, he wouldn't want to joke about it." But I don't mind. I think the thing that really shocked people, well they're not the mst polite things in the Phone 247-0234 world, but if anybody remembers Helen Keller jokes, I LOVE Helen Keller jokes! There's nothing wrong with them. They're not going to offend me. One day I started telling Helen Keller jokes and people were amazed. Since that happened, well there's some people like Chris Lane, who works at the CALL WHEN YOU'LEAVE AND YOUR radio station with me. Chris is a really crazy guy. One day he asked me if I was a member of theBDA. 'What's that?' He wouldn't tell me for a while; but he finally told me it was the 'Blind Drivers Association,' which I thought was pretty funny. But tfiZZA WILL BE READY that's the image I want. Tripod WHEN YOU ARRIVE What do you think would be an apt title for the article? Goldstein 'A Few Things You Always Wanted To Know About Howard, But you're afraid to ask. And at the end, maybe we should have something like if you have anything more to ask - then ask.'
