SPRING VISITATION DAYS in April gave accepted freshmen a chance for a second look at Trinity including class visits, campus tours, conversations with faculty and interactions with students. Many of these return visitors are among the 474 members of the Class of1993.

Other significant expense items include computer equipment and maintenance, which rose by nearly 23 percent, security costs, up 22 per­ cent, and expenditures for books and periodicals, which have in­ creased some 13 percent. As has been the case in other years, financial aid expenditures rose at a faster rate than tuition. Total student aid will increase by more than 12 percent to $5.9 million, en­ suring that a Trinity education re­ mains available to all eligible applicants. The College portion is up by 15.5 percent to more than $2.9 million. For the first time in history the College share exceeds 50 percent of the total funds needed be­ cause most other sources of aid funding have remained relatively level.

Students Learn Dancing Is a New Kind of Fun

s the season for semiformal Adances approached last semester, Trinity students cut the rug with a pair of professional dance instructors in a program titled "Learn to Dance Like an Adult." About 100 students turned out for the session, which was part of an annual series of events sponsored by the residential staff as an alternative to parties and other ac­ tivities where alcohol is served. The events were planned by stu­ dents who arc resident coordinators (RCs) and resident assistants (RAs) in each of the five residential zones on campus. During the academic year, the residential staff of each zone was required to organize five all-campus programs, one in each of the follow­ ing categories: education, recreation, social action, development, and cul­ ture. In addition, each of the 52 RAs arranged a Faculty/ Administration/ Staff (FAS) discussion. One all-cam­ pus program and two FAS discus­ sions were held every week that 8 classes were in session. - According to Kristina Benson Dow, director of residential services, the FAS discussions and all-campus programs have been sponsored by the residential staff since fall, 1983. "The reason they started was because students said there was no diversity in campus social life - that social life revolved around fraternities and alco­ hol," Dow says. FAS program titles were "Frat Initially, students were permitted Chat," a debate on the pros and to bring alcohol to programs run by cons of fraternities; "Exam Pres­ the residential staff, she says; but sures: How to Cope," a lecture since the drinking age was raised, no by Dean of Students David allowances have been made for stu­ Winer; "College and Food: dents to drink alcohol at these events.

Of course they are interrelated. The Soviets and Chinese have begun to realize that you can't free up an economy without freeing up the people, and our standard of living and much of the competitiveness of our econ­ omy depend on leadership in sci- · ence and technology. These are also forces in which most of us believe deeply: for which we have fought and which we cher­ ish. Indeed we take them for granted. But each contains its own inner dynamic which drives us blindly and relentlessly, and which ultimately produces its own set of problems, with which we must deal if we are to pre­ serve the System on which our way of life is built. Take capitalism for instance. In recent years I suspect its success has been even greater than those of us who have long supported it would ever have supposed.

To that end, I was asked to give a short talk to the new freshmen on some subject having to do with aca­ demic life at Trinity. I readily agreed. As the Orientation schedule was drafted, we scheduled my speech for the first day so that it might set the appro­ priate tone, but subsequently my own plans made it necessary to alter that schedule. As a result, the talk was set very near the end of the final day, at 4:00 in the afternoon on the lawn out­ side the Jacobs Life Sciences Center. On the students' schedules, the dean's talk was marked "required." On that afternoon, about fifteen min­ 32 utes before 4:00, I went to the court­ - yard outside the library and sat down to A dean)s view of the review my notes. While I waited there, a group of twelve or fifteen freshmen passed through the courtyard; they Trinity undergraduate culture . were going in the opposite direction from Life Sciences and they were carry­ ing several six-packs of beer. Not rec­ ognizing me, they were entirely unembarrassed. Considering what fol­ lowed, I can't swear that they would have been embarrassed in any case. When, at 4:00, I walked over to Ja­ cobs, I found about twenty freshmen waiting on the lawn. By 4:15 there were eighty or ninety. The remaining four hundred and some never showed up. What had happened? Well, as we discussed it, it seemed clear enough: three days at Trinity had been adequate time to socialize our new freshmen into local student culture, into the prevail­ ing, the dominant atmosphere. And that atmosphere is not an academic, not an intellectual one.

BY JAN COHN The dominant image of Trinity is that of a party school. But what does that shop-worn phrase mean? Certainly, it is not merely an ac­ knowledgement that some students at Trinity drink, or that some of them drink too often and too much. Unfortunately, that phenomenon, too, is widespread on American campuses. The appli­ cation of labels and stereotypes in this instance ad­ dresses something more complex and more far­ reaching: for what seems to have happened at Trinity is that partying, with or without excessive drinking, partying, during the week as well as on the weekends, partying is what one is supposed to do. Partying is what passes for normal, typical, unexceptional behavior. Conversely, choosing not to party is to engage in aberrant behavior. And to make oneself obvious as someone who chooses to study, to prepare for classes, even to read books and talk about ideas is to set oneself apart, literally to be egregious. Perhaps quixotically, many faculty members 33 want to change the atmosphere at Trinity. Even - more quixotically, many want to change the im­ age of Trinity as well. Last summer, I asked a number of faculty members who seemed readiest to tilt with windmills to become members of an ad hoc committee to work on this problem. Since It is a complicated and subtle matter to talk September we have met weekly to see whether about, let alone define, an "atmosphere." Perhaps we could isolate aspects of the problem, identify even more problematic is the matter of identify­ its sources, propose solutions.

lates to dormitory life and fraternities. It raises is­ sues about the physical plant, from the library and the bookstore to the arrangements for eating. It intrudes itself even into that sanctum sanctorum, the classroom, and poses awkward questions about teaching standards and teaching styles. The Friday Committee is an intellectually dare­ devil group of people; there is no question it fears to tackle - at least "in chambers." Of all the questions, the most farreaching, and the most dis­ quieting, is this one: Is the disappointing intellec­ tual atmosphere at Trinity the result of the students we admit to our college or the result of what happens to them once they arrive? It would, of course, make us, as faculty members, quite comfortable, even serene, to determine that the whole problem was the result of admissions, for then we could ask Dean David Borus to make the necessary changes and otherwise wash our hands of the matter. Such a determination would have the even more pleasant outcome of assuring us that none of this was our fault. But, in fact, the Friday Committee has not made that determination. We are coming to the position that by and large our entering freshmen 34 arc a malleable group, ready to be shaped by the - environment in which they find themselves.

To begin with, we have looked, in a work, who were not immersed in the culture of cursory way, at rules, though not precisely from the party. the point of view of the students. We have looked at some current academic rules at Trinity that might serve to undermine academic rigor, rules having to do with pass/fail policies, for instance, or the deadline for dropping courses. The deeper issues inherent in a consideration of the quality of teaching are, to be sure, both com­ plex and highly sensitive. Among those of us on the Committee who carry in their minds models of first-class teaching, we find that those models vary, and for good reasons. Some of us teach lec­ ture courses, others small classes and seminars. Beyond that difference, there are those that are in­ herent in the disciplines represented on the com­ mittee, from sociology to theater, and from history to computer science. In each case, the par­ ticular subject matter imposes its own limitations and challenges, and thus, its own implied defini­ tions of excellent instruction. To put it another way, some of us teach facts, some help develop skills, some impart information, and some work to elicit creative thinking. Of course, that division is oversimplified, but it helps to express the range of the difficulty in addressing the matter of teach­ ing and in considering how to make even more Trinity classes even more challenging and intellec­ tually engaging. It should be apparent that the Friday Commit­ tee is still in the early stages of its work. At the same time, we feel that we have come a long way from our first meetings, meetings at which we struggled even to define the issue adequately. We now have specific areas to address and we are be­ ginning to lay out the preliminary shapes of the proposals we will make. Finally, the intrepid Friday Committee is aware that many people might, and perhaps will, take offense at its work, or more precisely, at the sup­ positions that undergird that work. Students, alumni/ae, parents, and some faculty might easily imagine that we have overlooked the strong and positive aspects of Trinity since, by the nature of our charge, we are compelled to study the less at­ tractive aspects of the College. But the very com­ mitment to Trinity that might fire our critics is what motivates the members of the Friday Com­ mittee. We also believe that Trinity is a fine col­ lege, but we also believe that it has the potential to become a great one. •
