Last semester, in the wake of conflict between Trinity students and Hartford residents, the perennial question of Trinity's role in and responsibility to the City of Hartford cropped up. But, as is usually the case in this land of short attention spans, it petered out just as rapidly. One of the principle reasons was the amorphous nature of the question. Abstract allegations were made, both from within and without and the Trinity administration successfully deflected most of the criticism. The critics were at a distinct disadvantage, having no facts and figures to reinforce their claims; while the school could rattle off a long list of programs as tangible proof of its commitment to Hartford. Well, with the recent pub- lication of "Tax Exemption of Private Colleges and Hos- pitals: A Hartford Case Study", written by a UConn graduate students and published by Southside Media, the critics now have the ammunition they have so sorely needed The report, which sets out to make a case against Hartford's tax exemption policy, argues that Trinity takes far more out of the city than it puts back. As evidence the author, Art Feldman, points to a glaring incongruity: while the value of Trinityi's tax exemption is $2.6 million, it returns a paltry $469,000 to the city in quantifiable services. This figure, which represents only 18% of the Letters estimated value of the tax exemption, is miniscule com- pared to other tax exempt institutions. (Hartford Hospital, whose tax exemption is roughly $3.9 million, returns $3.5 million in reimbursed services to Hartford residents.) The Actress Criticizes Jester's Review study also quotes Trinity's operating surplus — read: net profit — for 1984-85 as a whopping $3.1 million.

The playoffs were a-total team effort as fey relied on hard work and not just talent to successfully defend their ECAC Division III crown. With just one loss all season long, this team obviously knew how to win. In the words of Mike Solomita, "This was the first real team I've been on." It took the whole team to do it, and not just individ- uals. Congratulations guys on being true champions.
