Supposedly in possession of the youngest and bright- est minds, students as citizens are frequently lulled to sleep in this rather detached educational environment.

Freedom of speech does not appear to be a very valued liberty in student's minds. Oh yes, we are all pretty vocal when it comes to personal topics, or a chance at public recognition.' We might even imagine we already know all that is worthwhile to know. But when it comes to debates on such intellectual topics as history, literature or politics, why are we so unwilling to perk up and contribute to the discussion? Why the hesitation in class? Why the closed-mouth policy applied during lec- tures or groups of five or more? It should not always be the events we are directly involved in that affect us the most. Students tend to keep mum in class, content to let the outspoken few do all the answering and talking. Maybe this reluctance is due to sheer ignorance of the subject; or the fear that our peers may publicly denounce us as 'brown-nosers,' But there is no excuse for silence. We should not be afraid of criticism — of seeming to be wrong or uninformed.

Everyone has witnessed this non-descript phenomena at one time or another: hiding surreptitiously in the back row, feet propped up, hand shading eyes — all due either to lack of caffeine or to not having an inkling as to the content of last night's reading. Letters So unless we want to be considered totally stupid, we should speak up. If only we had the guts to wing it, to go ahead and risk our precious vanity for the sake of provoking a reaction from others around us. Isn't that Down With SAT's what liberty is all about?

The First Student Auction for Trinity to benefit financial aid will be held on Tuesday, March 10, 1987. William Stahl Jr., Class of 74, from Sotheby Parke Bernet will be the auctioneer. The Silent Auction will be held from 6:30 to 8:00 pm and the Live Auction will be from 8:00 to 9:30 pm. The event will be held in the Washington Room of Mather Campus Center, Trinity College. Students must have their cash on hand the evening of March 10 in order to bid and pay for auctioned items. This is the standard auction procedure. Owing to the high cost of some items, especially group trips it is advisable to pool money before the start of the auction. For example, the skybox for a New York Yankees game could accommodate twelve people. It would be very expensive for one student to purchse the skybox, but with money pooled from eleven friends, it would be very reasonable. Likewise, the house in downtown Newport, R.I. for six people in late spring could be split six ways. The important thing is to have the money ready ahead of time.

Representing the squad were ten members, eight of whom posted their best personal times ever, and breaking more than one school record. Everyone was able to score points in their events. Of special note is Sophomore Peter Ostrander, who qualified to swim in the Nationals.
