Unlike the general examination which is taken in the spring, the thesis is a year long project valued as two course credits. Students choosing to write a thesis are placed in a research seminar run by Associate Academic Dean J. Ro- nald Spencer. Everyone in the seminar is required to submit two copies of the first two chapters of the thesis, in draft form, at the end of first semester to Dean Spencer, as well as to their personal advisors. The final draft must be com- pleted by April. At that time the advisors critique and discuss the thesis with each student. The general examination contains two parts. Part one of the exam is a document based question and the second part is a question about stenographical issues and historical evidence. The questions on the exam bear a resemblance to some of the elements which make up a thesis. "The idea of a senior exercise is to show that you can do History on a basic level; if you can't do it you don't complete the major or graduate, "said theRev. Dr. Painter. "The exam is not meant to be so rigorous that people will fail; it is an opportunity to show what you can do." "A major should be more than just classes. For us, this is appropriate and seems to work. When it is over people look back and say, 'I did it/ it adds legitimacy in their own minds of the integrity and value of the major.

Campbell and William G. Breckenfeld face off on the issue of Gun Control. The recent tragedy in Killeen, Texas has prompted many on the Trinity College campus to begin to investigate this issue more closely. In response to heightening interest, the Tripod has decided to examine the critical debate raging at present: Is Gun Control the solution to growing crime rates across the nation ? When do personal freedoms become national threats ? You decide... Guns Don't Kill People; Handguns At Heart Of People Kill People High Homicide Rate IU BY WILLIAM G. BRECKENFELD [3 BY BRENDAN T.

We are given the right to bear arms, and there are no pain and anguish being felt by the people of Killeen, Texas in the aftermath of restrictions enumerated. Strictly speaking, gun control shouldn't even be an this nation's worst mass murder. Nearly as agonizing is the fact that it appears issue - but unfortunately it is. nothing could have been done that might have prevented it.

According to a study done in September 1990, about one-half of all legislation at the national level. A version of the Brady Bill was passed in both households in America possess handguns. With the homicide rate reaching the House and the Senate over the summer, and if signed into law would n new high of 23,200 in 1990, it doesn't surprise me that half of American require a seven-day waiting period on handgun purchases in states that do not homes have guns. Personally, I sleep better at night knowing that we have already have one. guns in the house. Most states (including Connecticut, Massachussetts, New York, New One solution to the high homicide rate is not the restrictions on the sale Jersey, and Rhode Island) require handgun purchasers to wait a minimum of ot guns but rather a crackdown on the illegal gun trade and poverty. An article seven days after the date of purchase to pick up their handgun. This gives state in MacL&ms in May elaborated on this point. The article, "To Be Killed Like and local police departments a chance to check and see if the buyer has a A Dog," related the story of Millicent Wilkinson, a resident of a ghetto in criminal record. Opponents of a waiting period argue that it would unduly \\ ashington D.C., who lost one son and two grandsons to gunfire in the past burden the state and local police departments who conduct the background three years. It is her opinion that the real problem is poverty, despair, drugs, checks, and would impinge upon Americans' constitutional rights. However, and crime - not the laws. in states that have a waiting period, state and local police departments do not Another problem is the lack of effective law-enforcement concerning seem to be overburdened, and no courts at the state level have deemed the the availability of illegal guns. A majority of street crimes are perpetrated waiting period unconstitutional. using illegally obtained guns. The ease with which one can purchase a gun is In addition to preventing people with criminal records from buying staggering, if you know the right people, or the wrong people, depending on firearms, the implementation of a waiting period at the national level would \ our point of view.

This would not prevent criminals from back at street crime. One instance that immediately comes to mind is the getting guns entirely, but it would eliminate one of their sources. ' Subway Vigilante," Bernard Goetz. To refresh your memory, he shot four Handguns are responsible for three-quarters of aE firearm related black youths in the subway system of New York City. He was acquitted of all homicides, so it is not surprising that there is evidence that strongly suggests charges, save possesion of an unlicensed and concealed firearm. The support that stricter regulation of handgun sales can reduce homicide rates. In the fall that Goetz received for his actions is indicative of how fed up America is with of 1988, medical researchers published a study in The New England journal of lampant crime.

However, the NRA still continues to believe that any heart liberals in Congress willnever allow,Icannot foresee any solution to this restriction of firearm sales, no matter how logical, will ultimately lead to the grave problem. • government's confiscation of all firearms. Another issue I would like to address is the attack on gun laws Connecticut's liaison for the NRA, Susan Baldyga Misiora says, governing hunting. Many animal rights advocates blame lax gun control for "What we (the NRA) support is legislation that punishes the criminal. That is the needless slaughter of thousands of deer each year. My answer to them is what reduces crime." The NRA's logic fails on the grounds that crime is a that the deerpopulation would spiral out of control without periodic hunting symptom not a cause of firearm related violence. To solve a problem it is to trim down their numbers. If deer were totally protected, and allowed to nececcary to treat the cause not just the symptoms. Therefore, in order to multiply with few natural predators, they would use up their food supply and reduce the number of handgun related murders, the supply of illegal hand- many would starve to death; What a waste that would be when the deer could guns must be lessened, which is what the Brady Bill would start to do. die for a purpose; to feed humans. Despite the NRA's propagandizing and black listing of politicians, The death of Karen Wood in 1988, at the hands of a hunter named their influence appears to be waning. The Brady Bill is supported by Ronald Donald Rogerson, was unfortunate and unnecessary, but no reason to impose Reagan, and President Bush said he would sign it if it is made part of his strict gun laws.

Chartered at Trinity in 1917, the Sigma chapter of Delta Phi (St. Elmo's Greek let- ters) has long held a leading presence on campus. Well before Delta Phi arrived at Trinity, in fact before Trinity was Trinity, the Corax Club of Washing- ton College became IKA, the oldest local fraternity in the nation. When St. Elmo joined IKA, the two existed together until 1972, when St. Elmo went inactive. They remained dormant for nearly ten years, until their reactivation in the 1981/82 school year. Before 1972, St. Elmo's house, like most fraterni- ties, was on Vernon Street. If you stop and look at 70 Vernon Street, what was until this year the Philosophy building, the letters IKA can be seen in a carving over the doorway, indicating that this was their house until twenty years ago. Now Delta Phi finds itself on Broad Street, 1630 - 32 Broad Street to be exact, and the house is a defining element for the brotherhood. Public relations officer Dave Riker '93 explains that, "The majority of our dues, time, and effort goes into our house." For ten brothers, the house is home as well.

The movie opens in a state-of-the-art D.J. booth with the camera zooming in on the sleek, pony-tailed Jack Lucas (Bridges). Snap's "The Power" blares in the background while Jack Lucas offers his idea of advice to seemingly forlorn listeners. The Writing Center The time frame is late eighties' and the city is none other than New York. One thing leads to another and with one piece of bad advice, the story is thrown ahead three years. Lucas has fallen as New York's top radio personality and is living a pathetic and drunk life with his girlfirend Ann( Mercedes Rhuel). Ironically, this street-savy, Regular Hours sensual New Yorker steals the show from a dull Williams and a sleezy Bridges. Rhuel is fantastic and incredibly believable as the only real character in the film.

Instead, about to be beaten by two, over-protective New York boys, Lucas is saved by Perry(Williams). Perry informs Monday — Thursday Lucas that he must have been sent to help Perry in his quest. After referring to a back issue of Progressive Architecture, Perry tells Lucas about his search for the Holy 6:30 - 9:30 PM, Writing Center Grail. For reasons I won't reveal, Lucas agrees to help Perry with his mission and by Late Night doing so, all the weirder, becomes match-maker to the "loonies." Sunday, Monday Thursday It is here that The Fisher King takes off on a long and rather boring tangent. I personally lost interest. With visions of a fire-breathing knight chasing Lucas and 10 -12, Tom Smith Room, Mariott Perry through Central Park, dancing nuns in Grand Central Station, and the ever present chorus of "I Like New York in June," I couldn't wait for the movie to end. Open Period Hours This was not a satisfying movie or even stimulating for that matter, and unfortu- nately, not even the acting was enough to save it in my eyes. -North The Fisher King is one movie on which I can definitely agree with Amanda. It is easily one of the strangest and most pointless movies that I have ever seen. The story revolves around power- its effects on men, on the people they unknowingly influence, and the whims of fortune. Jeff Bridges plays Jack Lucas, a D.J. who has it all: high ratings, popularity, money, movie offers, a gorgeous girlfriend, etc. That is, until one day one man takes Lucas' cynical commentary on life in the 80's too far, and Lucas is next seen as an 0 alcoholic bum. Through circumstance, his life becomes intertwined with Perry (Robin .tQnderground C Jfjfce Williams) as the two try to fulfill Perry's quest to save the Holy Grail. With the joining of Perry and Lucas, the story meanders. Director Terry Fine caffeinated beverages, dessert, and light food. Gillian touches on several major social issues; homosexuality, AIDS, and homelessness. Gillian nevers expands on any one issue or makes a coherent point. Open Monday to Friday, 8pm till Midnight.

It is clever, ranging from (Closed during reading week) the embodiment of everyone's personal obstacles in the red knight to finding the Holy Grail.
