"Because it's the first year for the Women's Studies program at Trin­ ity," Branzburg says, "we're happy to have hosted the conference, particu­ larly so students can see that it is a vi­ brant, exciting field and there is enthusiasm for women's studies throughout New England. The con­ ference drew scholars from the Ivy League and state universities, commu­ nity colleges, and welfare organiza­ tions so the men and women who came to the conference represented a good cross-section. It's good for everybody to see that the people who are interested in women's studies cut across a lot of lines." Music and Healing, Law Explored at Two Forums

Music and medicine, and medical malpractice and product liability were the focal points of two regional con­ 6 ferences co-sponsored by Trinity dur­ - · ing the spring semester. The conferences, both of which were open to the public, attracted a wide range of people from the busi­ ness, legislative, music and medical communities and the media. "The Sound of Healing: Music and Medi­ cine 1987" was presented by Trinity and the University of Connecticut Health Center. "Business, Media and the Law" was produced by Columbia University Seminars on Media and Society in association with Trinity, The Hariford Courant and the Univer­ sity of Connecticut School ofLaw. Dr. Richard M. Ratzan '67, an emergency room physician with the John Dempsey Hospital in Farming­ ton, and Naomi Amos, Trinity's fac­ ulty grants coordinator and a pianist, arranged "The Sound of Healing," which was held at Trinity and the UConn Health Center. The confer­ ence prov~ded a forum for exploring the intertwined aesthetic, restorative and technical aspects of music and medicine. More than 300 physicians, nurses, medical personnel, teachers, academicians and music fans attended.

ecently Mimi Burns '87 provided R the Trinity community with an opportunity to view the College dining room, Hamlin Hall, in a totally new way. At the same time the semester­ long project of the graduating senior in the College's Individualized Degree Program gave food for thought on the issue of the esthetics of gender and the nature of women's lives. In her project Burns proposed the radical transformation of a College fa­ cility which would address the differ­ ences between masculine and feminine esthetics and a performance within the transformed space to further convey these messages. To the delight and amazement of many, Burns chose to transform Ham­ lin Hall, which for many years was the main College dining hall and is now the lunchtime gathering place of fac­ ulty and staff and site of special dinners in the evenings.

he passions of the soul," thought Miss Olive, almost saying it through her clenched teeth, tight jaw on the way back to the diner from seeing her parents off, "disturb the senses and distort the image." Yet it took a while for even her love, Pascal, to dispel her anger at herself For at the last minute she had given in, back there over the hills in the tiny airport, after letting them gab all the way there, wear their robes of continual clamor without so much as a nod from her. And had broken down then, at the last minute, there at the edge of the chain-fence boarding gate, when they both hugged her and said, Don't you want us to say hello from you to Aunt Ann and Uncle Elmer when we get to Sedalia? And then Miss Olive had looked at th.em in their cramped, careful clothes, through their pouchy faces more familiar than her own. Yes, she said, please do say hi. And Mr. and Mrs. Olive walked out to the plane then, waving, saying We will, we will, we will. So now, all the way back through the green hills, the shaded streets and skinny storefronts ofBoonesboro, Pa., and the straight long line of new road out to the old Olive Diner on the river flat, she went over it again and again, the si­ lent sound of the thought like the phrases of late Beethoven she had Where is God? He is once loved almost as well, until the silence and the plan were clear and where you are not - quiet again, and the crunch of the car's tires on the gravel of the diner's and the Kingdom of God parking lot beside the weathered white frame house struck her as is within you. -Pensees sounds from someone else's world. It was so hard, though, to make that last formal commitment, to finally follow out her own logic; by eleven, she was over the grill cooking up a hamburg platter for Melvie Jensen, one of the men, half farmers, half plant workers, who lived up the side road. He had walked in about fifteen minutes ago, while she was foolishly checking off what food would have been needed .in the next week. She shouldn't even have been there. If she'd already gone inside, he would, of course, not have been able to delay her at all. Melvie turned on the television - too loud - at the end of the counter and sat down with his coffee across from where she stood at the grill. He acted as though he were watching the show, women talking in chairs on a flat stage, for a minute or so. Then he drummed his fingers on the table, five at a time, in some sloppy rhythm. Then laughed, as someone, too loud, was talking about what a new laundry detergent would do, incongruously, over a sink. Then talked: honest to God pleasure forgetting about the old woman, farm, things, for a few hours; glad to be out of a damn classroom for three months too if I was you; old stuff sure smells good; know it? Dull eyes floating as he mumbled, nose sniffing at the food. When she brought it to him, he scraped the mayonnaise offhis tomato. Miss Olive watched the white peel away, leaving red, and felt a vague terror. Melvie reached over, grabbed her hand with his mess of calluses, made a hopeless attempt to caress it. Know what? he said: This place' d made a goddarnn fine diner. And laughed, staring hungrily up. Disgusting. She turned away, walked over to the cupboard, peeped into the cool darkness, dim objects inside. Could she find, as if by accident, Pascal there suddenly, there in the silence? Of course not. But would Pascal have a face? Hey comon, Melvie said behind her, what's the trouble? When in another moment she had still not answered, she could hear his hands tearing at his napkin. The poor thing was perplexed, and with some reason. A year ago, even it would have been at least theoretically possible for her to have let somebody like Melvie make his try, and

BY THEODORE WEESNER, JR. '86

onrad lies in his bed, sweaty and hot. His feet are cold, though. He 7 reaches his hand down and squeezes his pasty, freezing toes. They don't seem to warm, even after a minute or so. Tucking under the end of his quilt, Conrad creates a warm pocket which he fills with his jammed­ together feet. Folding down the top of the quilt leaves his upper body stung by cool air. It is as though he is wasting energy, leaving a window open in the middle ofJanuary. Conrad decides that when his body reaches the temperature of his warming toes he will get out of bed and take a shot at calling Tristan. Tristan is a bitch, and Conrad loves bitches. When one is in the same room his head feels fuzzy and his eyes start to dart. The problem with Tristan, the reason he wants to call her, is that she ended things between them the week before, when he came home from college for the three-week Christmas break. · Conrad has an image of her that sticks in his mind. She wears woolly brown riding pants and a checkered blazer that squares off shoulders catching wisps of blond silken hair. She is tall and her face is pouting and taut, almost snotty. Walking alongside Conrad in black leather, flat-heeled Italian boots, Tristan is full of herself If she were brushing her hair in front of a mirror, she would be so sure of her beauty that she would take no notice or care ofher looks. She knows they are there. Sitting on his mother's bed, Conrad clutches the phone. He is more than a little wary; it is Christmas Eve and his family will be sitting down for dinner soon. The phone sits on a pile of old N ewsweek magazines on a cream-colored night table. The numbers on the old phone are worn away, so Conrad has to count back and pull the sticky, clicking plastic circle. A shrill ring rattles. Conrad imagines the silence or conversation or music in Tristan's house shattered by the call. That will piss her off, he thinks. A gruff, impatient voice stops the screaming phone. It is Tristan's hard-ass father, the one who treats her like a twitching prize thoroughbred. "Hello." "Hi, Mr. Conway. May I speak with Trista~, please?" Conrad says, ingratiatingly. "Yeah, sure." Conrad waits, listening through the phone's electric buzz for any background conver- sation. "Hello," Tristan answers in a friendly voice. Conrad's heart knots. "Hi Tristan-Conrad. How are you?" "Conrad, why are you calling me?" she says, as though through clenched teeth. Confidence leaves Conrad through his burning red face, like paralysis arriving with the crack of a spine. The bitch. "Tristan .. . I miss you ... Please," he pleads in a whine. "Conrad, we're over. You know how I feel. Please, please leave me alone." Feeling desperate. One last try before the stool is kicked out from under him. "Tristan, I love you, I want you. Come on Tristan, I need you." With a flushing surge of anger and loss, "Tristan, I want you again. I don't want anyone else to touch you." Slam. Dial tone filling red, hot ears until a high­ pitched whine indicates a receiver too long off the hook. The deep wet snow overflows into Conrad's high Timberland work boots as he trudges down the hill from his house towards the river. It is around four­ thirty, but dark as night. Despite the cold, Conrad feels hot and itchy, as though his body were encased in rag · wool. He sweats. As the hill gets steeper, Conrad starts to run, leaping for the farthest point in the untouched snow-giant's steps. He approaches the river. Ice has begun to form at the river's edges and it shines even in the moonless night. The water flows by evenly like a great murky ribbon being spooled. Conrad tries to get closer to the edge. An icy, sharp branch is pulled back by his pink cheek. "Shit," Conrad says out loud. Conrad tries to snap the branch but it only bends, revealing green sinew. He twists it. He takes offhis dirty leather work gloves and gets a better grip. Finally Con­ rad dismembers the pine but with no triumphant snap. "That little goddarnn bitch," he says as he throws the branch into the brown water. He watches it float away and sink under in the distance. Conrad hears nothing, not the swaying trees, the eve­ ning wind, the gurgling water. Thoughts swirl through his head, clogging his ears and placing his eyes and motion on autopilot. Large raindrops start to fall from the foamy clouds overhead. Conrad runs his bare hand over his ski cap and red and black checkered hunting jacket. They feel like a moist sponge and smell like one too. The soft yellow light glows from picture windows in his house up the hill, warm and dry. He tips his head back, letting the cold spray splatter his face. Conrad will try to call one more time tonight. Just before dinner Conrad says to his mother, know­ ing she's going to get that pained, angry look on her face where her eyes crinkle, her cheeks rise and the split in her front teeth is visible, "Ma, I'm not going to church. ...

Chapel. At right, a cluster "The quest for that kind of self-knowledge as if classmates converse. more than an end in itself is, let me assure you, an art that you will spend a lifetime trying to master," saidjaroslav Pelikan, Sterling Professor ofHistory at Yale University. Pelikan delivered this message to the Class of '87 during the interfaith baccalau­ reate service on the morning of Sunday, May 24; the occasion ofTrinity College's 161st Commencement. Later, in-the warmth of a spring afternoon, the nearly two-hour Commence­ 26 ment ceremony took place outdoors on the Quad before a crowd of 4,000. The ... College conferred bachelor's degrees upon 211 women and 241 men who came from 30 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and five foreign countries. Twenty-nine master of arts degrees were awarded. The Commencement, Pelikan noted, fell on the 1,600th anniversary of the con­ version to Christianity of St. Augustine, whose most profound book was· on the doctrine of the Trinity; the one God in three. Augustine believed there was, in human life and in human spirit, indications both of the one God and of the three. These "vestigia Trinitatis," footprints ofTrinity, showed where God the Trinity had walked. "By continuing to call itself 'Trinity' even when it no longer enforces a theologi­ cal standard on faculty or on students (or, for that matter, on baccalaureate speak­ ers!) this College would appear to be sharing and endorsing the conviction that I have been expressing here: that if you as its graduates continue a life that is, in the dual sense of the word, thoughtful - that is, simultaneously reflective within your­ selves and considerate in relation to others - you will be the faithful daughters and sons of the College. Indeed, thereby you will yourselves become 'vestigia Trinita­ tis,' footprints ofTrinity ... " Pelikan said. "You will have reason to be grateful throughout the rest of your life if, during what our Yale alma mater calls 'bright college years, with pleasures rife, the short­ est, gladdest years oflife,' if, during those years ending today, you have learned, sometimes in the classroom but also and perhaps chiefly outside the classroom, the fulfillment that comes from a life of dedication and service to others, which is, as the tradition of this College and the best in our entire tradition declares, also an act of dedication and service to the God who not only has and shows but is love." In her Commencement address, Ellen Ash Peters, chiefjustice of the Supreme Court of Connecticut, said that 1987 is significant not only as the date graduates will flip to in their alumni magazines, but also as the 200th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution. "The intention of our framers was not to impose an unedited vision of a free society on future generations; it was rather to furnish those generations with a structure of government and a core of values capable of adapting to the inevitable processes of growth and change. When -· we interpret the constitution in light of these principles, we don't betray their vision; we vali­ date it," Peters said. -i-• Like the Constitution, a liberal arts education is -- a charter for change, Peters added. "You too have 27 been given by your years at Trinity a structure of - learning and a core of values, and you too have ahead of you a lifetime of interpreting experience and knowledge and art. That is a difficult enter­ prise, but I commend you, in Yeats' phrase, to 'the fascination of what's difficult.' It may be eas­ ier and tidier always to approach a problem by asking 'what did the framers of my education think?' It is the difficult and exhilarating task of the educated person to ask instead 'how have I learned to think about this problem?' I hope that, in the future, each of you will celebrate 1987 as the beginning of a lifetime of interpretation of your Trinity experience." In his charge to the senior class, President James F. English, Jr. told the new graduates that their lives will be flooded with opportunities -too many opportunities. "You can't possibly do everything. Learn early to say 'no' to things that are trivial or wasteful; to things that will not give you genuine pleasure or contribute to your growth or your sense of worth and accomplish­ ment," English said. "By learning to say 'no' you will be able to say 'yes.' And by saying 'yes' you will grasp control of the direction of your life . . . Say 'yes' to career opportunities that fit your own nature and give you genuine satisfaction ... Say 'yes' to the opportunities that you will have every day to help others: friends in distress, countless COMMENCEMENT 1987

The Bantams regrouped in their next outing to cap­ ture a 13-3win over M.I.T.

EDUCATING NEW GENERATIONS

TO PAY, or GIVE IT AWAY? Questions and answers about alternative planning for college tuition payments.

1. Q: Now that the Tax Reform Act of 1986 has closed down the Clifford Trust as a tax sensitive means of providing funds for college tuition for children and grandchildren, is there any alternative remaining which offers some relief from taxes?

A: Yes, the "Tuition Trust" is an excellent way to transfer funds to chil­ dren and grandchildren for college expenses. Because there is a charitable gift element with this trust, it is able to generate significant tax savings.

2. Q: My concern is with sheltering ordinary income from tax. Can this plan respond to that need?

A: The "Tuition Trust," as it has come to be known, provides the greatest relief from the federal tax on ordinary income and on capital gains (which begin­ ning in 1988 will be taxed at the same rate as ordinary income). This is a term charitable remainder trust which, for a predetermined number of years, pays an annual income to the college-bound child, then, at the end of the trust term, distributes the trust principal to Trinity for use as you have directed, for example to create an endowed scholarship fund.

3. Q: Who determines the income rate and length of the trust term?

A: You do. The income rate must be at least 5% of the trust value and may vary each year with the change in value of the trust principal, or be fixed at a specific dollar amount at the time of your gift. The term of the trust can be any length of time up to a maximum of twenty years.

4. Q: You mentioned shelter from capital gains tax. How does that come in?

A: Because of the charitable gift element, you may transfer appreciated securities to fund the trust and there will be no capital gain tax liability. Similarly, as those securities are reinvested over the trust term, the income producing value of the principal will always be sheltered from capital gains tax.

5. Q: What about payments to a very young child?

A: Those payments may be made directly to a trusteed savings account for the child's benefit.

6. Q: Whom do I talk to at Trinity to find out more about this plan and review some specific gift illustrations?

A: Call or write Tom Miller Director ofPlanned Giving Trinity College 300 Summit Street THE CAMPAIGN Hartford, Connecticut 06106 FOR TRINITY Telephone: (203) 527-3151, ext. 235 l AlutJar.zi
