a for Mitch Pappas
It would surprise no one who knew him that the idea for this issue sprang from a conversation we had last winter with Mitch Pappas. As most talks about art with the late associate professor, this brief chat wound up filling most of a grey Hartford afternoon, during which time we covered everything from his chairmanship of some collegiate golf coaches association to Thomas Baird's dog (who was sliding all over the arts center lobby during the conversation). Still an underpaid associate, professor after more than twenty years of service, Mitch felt anything hut comfortable on this campus in 1971. Trinity was his career. And though he was fond of showing name of his private work or dishing out an old telegram from University of Cincinatti indicating that he was one of three people being considered to chair their arts department, Mitch was still 100% a Trinity person, and proud of it. He had came to the college when John C. K. Taylor reigned, when the arts was the closest thing in the, curriculum to an extra- curricular activity, and when the Trinity golf team just coin- cldentally needed a coach. By 1971, his time on the links was but an occasional Sunday match, and the arts was housed in a new Austin Center, with Faculty numbering close to ten and students heading to New York to do art. Mitch had been bypassed when the college went in the market for a fine arts chairman in 1968, and with Michael Mahoney came all the airs of a Washington curaetor. The college was doing something with its arts programs, and Mitch was not quite sura - ever - exactly what that something was, or what part he would play in it. Increasingly there was an emphasis on the outside: chairmen from Washington, studio teachers from New York, visiting artists and cooperative programs instead of permanent arts Faculties. It was not thai Mitch refused to see the logic or benefit of these mows, but rather that, increasingly, he was aware that they did not involve him. The Institution to which he had devoted the prime of his life seemed now to be Ignoring his existence, and though the dean would have kind words, college actions would give, no comfort from the threatening signs which blew Mitch's way. With Mitch gone, those signs will be more apparent to the rest of us. The jist of the articles which follow is that there is a fantastic potential for creativity on this campus which can and should be expressed through artistic media. Commission after commission studying higher education has pleaded the. case for alternate modes of expression which would better integrate education with personal fulfillment both in and out of the classroom. Clearly this impulse to artistic expression has .shown its head here this year. A student dance performance recently packed the Goodwin theater: a student flute and guitar recital .writ people away from its Seahury door: and chapel garden one-acts kept even the dogs content one sunny fall afternoon on the quad. These students are not, on the most part, interested in professional artistic careers, though quality is certainly not lacking in their work. They are interested in incorporating artistic experimentation and ex- pression in a liberal arts education, and into the community life on a par with the traditional academic disciplines.

Instead the Dean, half the story: the number of students turned away from even the with the encouragement of certain chairmen, has decided to most basic of courses in the arts is equally as impressive. And yet stress art history over studio, music history over music practice, In response to this, the college has no plans to add more Faculty and dance as an exercise as opposed to dance as an art. to the arts.

Now all these plans entail departments can say, as Mr. Eliet did, that, place as an extracurricular activity, but, money, which is something the college has "the problem is not generating interest, but providing sufficient outlets for already existing interest." Considering the fact that there are only two full time faculty mem- bers, the department is a most active one. Juxtaposed to this expression of interest by some students is the prevailing un- favorable attitude of the campus in general toward the existence of a Theater Arts department. This disapproval manifests itself in more ways than just not liking the department's choice of productions. It falls into two categories, both of which are easily answered. First, there is the notion of a "theater clique," comprised, presumably, of the hand picked favorites of Nichols and Eliet, who conspire by night in the depths of the Austic Arts Center to prevent little Sally Freshman and Joe Physics Major from having anything to do with the Theater Arts programs on the grounds of insufficient artistic commitment. There are two relevant comments to be made on this idea. The first was made by a man intimately connected with Trinity theater for many years, George Gershwin, who said, "It ain't necessarily so," and the second by a noted member of the supposed clique, whose talent appears to many to be bottomless, who commented, "If there's anything ex- clusive or elitist about theater at Trinity, then I've got the head of an ass." Statistical verification of these responses 'was provided by Messrs.

The suggestion that music, theater, and dance should be combined under a per- forming arts major would probably not benefit the music department. It would impinge on the autonomy of the music faculty. Music and the other smaller branches of the arts would also be slighted in budget allocations. The course distribution requirements necessary for a performing arts major might limit ad- vanced study in music. The present departmental arrangement in the arts is probably better left as is. ' Despite its problems, music at Trinity, both in the classroom and on the concert stage, has improved tremendously over the past two years. But it can be even better. The College is planning a study of its program in the arts by a committee of outside examiners. This is the type of major evaluation that the arts desperately need; it may be too late, however. The difficulties with the Hartt program and the controversy surrounding rotating artists-in-residence need to be resolved now. page lo TRINITY TRIPOD jnsidemagazine

' • Page 10 TRINITY TRIPOD Tuesday, JanuarvjjJs, i^ Bil May Give College New Financial Aid by John Tyler Colleges and universities may receive as much as $22 billion in federal aid during the next five years as the result of the recent passage of the Omnibus Education Bill, A House-Samite conference committee is *?* far trying to settle differences between the different versions of the bill passed by the House and Senate. The Senate version of the bill, sponsored by Senator Claibourne Pell (D-R.L), con- solidates many of the existing scholarship and loan programs. Under the Pell bill, a student would be eligible to receive a Basic Educational Opportunity Grant of up to $1400 minus his expected family con- tribution. The grant, however, may not exceed half the amount of a school's tuition. According to Pell's version of the bill, a student's "entitlement" to federal aid would diminish as his personal and family resources grew, House Bill 7248, sponsored by Congrcsswoman Kdith Green (D-Ore.>, directs most of its support of higher education to institutions rather than .students. According to the Green bill, two- thirds of the federal aid allotted to a college or university would IK; based on per capita enrollment; the remaining third would \m distributed in proportion to the number of low and middle-income students at a school who were receiving benefits from the Work- Study, Educational Opportunity, National Defense and G.I. Bill programs. A school of Trinity's size would receive $400 for each federal scholarship receiplent, If the number of scholarship recipients is greater than 100, the school would receive $50,000 plus $400 for each recelpicnt in excess of 100. The Green bill originally contained a section prohibiting all discrimination on the basis of sex. That clause has since been modified and no longer pertains to un- dergraduate admissions policies or in- stitutions where coeducation would oppose religious tenets. An amendment to withold aid from all religiously affiliated colleges and universities was defeated by the House. In an interview with the Tripod. Vice- President Thomas A. Smith said that he preferred the Senate version of the Omnibus Education Hilt. He cited the effect of the G.I. Bill after World War II, which, according to We Deliver Smith, "helped to maintain the student's capacity to find the kind of education he needed." Smith said he was pleased with the Pell bill because it proposes outright grants- in-aid rather than loans. He felt that it was wrong to ask a student to incur large amounts of indebtedness before he was certain of his potential earnings or future career. Smith said that he prefers student aid to direct institutional support because colleges tend to over-extend themselves when granted federal funds, hiring too many tenured faculty members. Once funds are cut off, the schools are forced to retain the additional faculty members, even though they no longer possess the means to pay them, he said. Vice-President Smith feels that prospects for aid to private colleges from the state of Connecticut, though poor a few months ago, are improving. More and more state legislators, are hecomemg persuaded that it would be less expensive to aid already existing private colleges than to proceed with the construction of new state facilities to accommodate Connecticut students, Smith said.
