Are We Really Secular?
IS Trinity really a non-sectarian college? 86 years have passed since the College "loosened" its traditional ties with the Episopal"Church. Yet recent administrative action seems to contradict the College's claim to secularization. The official adacemic calendar for 1975-1976, released by Dean Nye, (printed in full on p. 12 of this issue), shows evidence of either religious bias or administrative over- sight. Whereas classes are officially suspended for Good Friday/no acknowledgement at ail is made of sacred or holy days' of other religious groups represented on cam- Furthermore, representatives of Hillei allegedly petitioned for Yom Kippur, the most sacred day of the Jewish religion; to be granted the same the equal recognition and priority for suspended classes as Good Friday. Are we to take the failure to even list Yom Kippur , on the new calendar (whereas, it was included in past calendars) as the'administratiohs's'response? .The Tripod feels that to avoid any future potential religious bias the administration should s/et up some criteria for evaluating petitions for official recognition of major religious holidays.

No reasonable individual would deny that "Marxist ideas have influenced the course of events in all civilized countries and drastically altered the governments of several". Indeed, his "ideas" many of which, of course, had their antecedents in the writings of other classical economists are likely to endure for years to come. I must, however, take exception to the simplistic notion that the Economics Department as presently constituted consists of two Marxists •ROME and the rest Keynesians...... • ; The fact that we develop concepts attributable to J.IVL Keyne's does not make us Keynesians. Most of us also devote some time to Marx and more generally to the problems of resource allocation and income distribution under socialism as weE as under a competitive capitalism. This does not make us socialists or capitalists. However, since students seem to want to affix labels to their teachers, then for the record I am a Marshallian, and philosophically a libertarian not a Keynesian. • ; WardS.Curran Professor of Economics FOR TRINITY 'Appeals Decision' VALICS To the Editor: lhave appreciated the articles and editorials in the Tripod which ex- pressed concern that the Marxist point of view was disappearing from the \icw\6mics Department with the departure, at the end of this semester, of Matty-Umdsberg and myself. ' - * However, what has not been in the Tripod as yet is the fact that I am currently making an effort to stay at Trinity. I am appealing the original decision by the Department of Economics regarding my reappointment and tenure and am currently awaiting the response of the Committee on Appointments and Promotions to my appeal. • . It is-my belief that Marxist economics offers a way of viewing.the workings of human societies from a broad perspective, integrating economics, politics, history, and sociology. To me this is not only a good way to begin the study of economics but it is also a point of view that should not be lost at Trinity; This is what lhave tried to offer to our community and what I would like to continue to offer here. i Sincerely, Neil H.
