During the decade of the Eighties, colleges and univer­ sities are faced with what Edmund Spenser called "the whirling wheel of change": Costs, tied to an inflationary .economy, are spinning upward. The pool of available students is draining away sharply. And an in­ creasingly specialized job market is casting uncertainty upon the value of a traditional "general education~' The Review recently talked with Provost Richard D. O'Brien about the University's educa­ tional philosophy and its readiness to survive the next ten years with its image-and reality-of educational quality intact.

You Jve been provost for two years now. How does the actuality of the University of Rochester square with the impressions you had before you got here?

I would have said it had a quality academic image, but that I didn't know much about what was going on there. Historically, for the first 100 years, the University of Rochester was a small place, without a strong national reputation except in medicine and music. Immediately after World War II, growth was planned with the specific object of making the rest of the University nationally recognized. Now I would say there isn't a college on the campus that should not aspire to this kind of reputation. Our University motto, after all, is Meliora: "better things." Where do you think the University stands at this point? "I believe that freshmen must be exposed to senior faculty."

The fact is that we have super departments of English, history, and philosophy. I think we can improve the perception of the University as a heavy technological school. We must, to survive the future. How do you think we can do better in academics at Rochester? My hope for improvement in a number of areas comes in redirecting their focus. Take clusters, for exam­ ple. I am interested in pulling diverse disciplines together in the total educa­ tional process. It is possible to take philosophers, anthropologists, neurologists-all faculty, in short, that have been well trained in their own areas-and have them talk together, teach together. Clusters of faculty gathered together, you see. There is an excitement generated when people who know their own disciplines cold bounce their ideas off professionals in other fields. This excitement is just terrific, it really adds juice to student life and diversity to the educational process. Some very exciting things happen when you have faculty well trained in disparate disciplines con­ tributing to one another. Not melting old disciplinary lines, but mixing them together so that new ideas are generated. We've talked some about faculty; what about students? What kind of an education does the University owe them? A university should prepare students for a lifetime following graduation. University of Rochester graduates should have a marketable professional skill plus an education that will last long after facts are forgotten. I believe that freshmen must be ex­ posed to senior faculty. Of course, there is a certain amount of basic knowledge that must be gained by freshmen, and yes, we do that here in Another kind of faculty-student interaction. Intramural sports will get a boost from the new sports and recreation complex scheduled for completion late this year. "I would like to see large classes.

However, I was rarely directed toward the quality of a particular course is by academic side of things. The picture that was coming across from all of these conversations was that of a competitive institution that overly stressed academic things to the exclu­ sion of an adequate social life. Now, of course, one has to take into account what kind of group one talks to. But, if any substantial number feel they are having a bad time, then we have to pay attention to it. Education is a matter of taking a human being and then being with that individual for four years. We wanted to get away from the Kafkaesque perception of a large and anonymous institution, .to break down the attitude that the adminis­ tration is on a different level from anyone else. Here at Rochester we are a "bottom-up" institution, not a "top-down" institution. Given that, my meetings with the students were sheer common sense. In terms of the quality of student life, we found there were areas where we could improve, and we did so. With its main campus bounded by the Genesee River and Mt.

When a freshman comes in, if he wishes, he is assigned someone-a staff member, faculty member-who will talk with him, and not about academic things necessarily, but will take him out to lunch, show him things. Are you attempting to balance the academic and the social sides of a student's life? Absolutely. We are promoting education for life, not just for a period of four years. It is important for students to live and work together in small groups. A university should provide a basis for friendships that continue past graduation. Now, it may be a general sort of truth that this happens automatically in the nor­ mal course of events. But whatever "In terms of the quality of student life, we found there were areas where we could improve, the truth is, the plain fact remains and we did so." One of the newer traditions on campus is Yellowjacket Day, a day of fun that an important network of both and games celebrating the start of the school year. professional and social relationships

5 should be made in a university and the university should assure that it does. Specifically, we addressed these matters by beginning a student advisory committee composed of students who have direct access to faculty and who can tell us about things they think need looking into. One of their major concerns was the perception of an inadequate social life on campus. Now there actually is a great deal going on here, so we began a daily list of activities that is posted all over campus so that students can know readily what is happening. The daily listing was a small mat­ ter, but it has been most helpful. On the larger scale, the University must concern itself with broader ways of "Now there actually is a great deal going on here."

Rochester enjoys a large and loyal alumni body. What can the alumni do? Alumni can play an absolutely vital role in maintaining the visibility of the University. Rochester is not yet as well known as it deserves to be. Alumni have a stake in this. We want to have them playa role, par­ ticularly when it comes to undergraduate recruitment. I would like to see the parents of our students maintain the same continuing ~elationship with the U ni­ versity that alumni have. Both groups are invited to the campus periodi­ cally, particularly in the fall, for Reunion-Homecoming and for Parents' Weekend. And of course, we try to keep up their awareness of what is going on with the University through regular communication: There is a newsletter for parents as well as the Review for alumni. What do you see ahead for the Eighties? My major role as provost is to maintain the University's strength, variety, and excellence through the next decade. During this period I want to see us work to maintain Lighting a Sun on Earth

If we could imitate the process by which the sun generates its energy, we might be able to solve all of our earthly energy problems for all time to come. Some think the answer lies in harnessing the powerful light of lasers. A team of University of Rochester people is trying to find out. Every gallon of seawater, believe it or not, packs the energy potential of 350 gallons of gasoline. That's because one in every 30,000 atoms of hydrogen in seawater con­ tains a neutron in its nucleus. When two of these "heavy hydrogen" atoms are squeezed together and heated, they fuse into the element helium and liberate enormous amounts of energy. That's the way the ·sun makes its energy, and scientists are trying to develop systems to mimic the solar process on earth. Fusion has been hailed as the ultimate answer to our planet's energy problems because there's more than a billion years' supply of heavy hydrogen in the oceans. Fusion research is in its infancy. While we can make hydrogen atoms fuse, we can't yet get as much energy out of the reaction as we put in.

9 The Great 'Removal Project' Part II: A DrealTI Attained By Betsy Brayer

For fifty years Rush Rhees Library's "wedding cake" tower has dominated the River Campus and served as an unofficial symbol of the University. But it needn't have looked like that. This is one of many other proposals for River Campus architecture that-probably mer­ cifully-bit the dust during the years of planning.

Thirty years to the tell who the architect was." rather than to the year the University was founded.

11 day after his inauguration, President Rush Rhees led an academic proces­ sion, representing 170 educational in­ stitutions, that, to the strains of the Eastman School band, snaked its way through the eleven buildings of the new River Campus as prelude to three days of speeches and con­ ferences. In the stone lantern atop the 186-foot tower of Rush Rhees Library, a 17-bell chime played in jubilation. The chime had been placed there as a gift from the children of Arendt W. Hopeman in memory of their father. The building crowned with that great tower was named, over his vigorous objections, for the third president of the University. "It seems wholly appropriate," said the Rochester Alumni Review, "that the dominant architectural and structural feature of the new campus should be honored with the name of the domi­ nant personality behind the entire development." It was not always thus. Earlier plans showed other features to be dominant, but plan no. 45, "made at the suggestion of Dr. Rhees," clearly honors the library.

to buy the record. The Eastman School of Music has commissioned just such a work, Rochester based on the writings of Martin Luther King, Jr., narrated by the Pittsburgh Pirates' Willie Stargell, inReview and written by Joseph Schwantner, a member of Eastman's composition faculty who won the Pulitzer in 1979 for his Aftertones of Infinity. Eastman School director Robert Freeman, who arranged the project, expects the work to be premiered in 1983 at the Kennedy Center in Washington, with subsequent perfor­ mances in New York City and at the Eastman School. It will be per­ formed, naturally, by the school's crack student orchestra, the Eastman Philharmonia. The idea of commissioning a work based on texts by King arose from a benefit concert given last spring by bass-baritone William Warfield '42E for the benefit of the school's William Warfield Scholarship Fund for voice students. Warfield has agreed to assist Stargell in prepara­ tion of his narration. Twenty years with the Pirates, Stargell is president of the Stargell Foundation, a fund working in behalf of research in sickle-cell anemia.

Cipolla added three extra points to put his career mark at 38-for-40. Late in the game, he was inserted as a split end and scored a touchdown on a twelve-yard sweep, which brought the entire squad onto the field to congratulate him. Early in the game, after Union (winner of only one game in eight tries) led 7-0, DeCantis scored on a thirty-two-yard touchdown pass from George Rau. Thames scored on a ten-yard run; Iannone rushed for fifty-five yards in eleven carries, and Orrico had fifty-six yards in five receptions. Thames, who rushed in eleven yards in twenty carries, upped his season mark to 664 in 171 carries. "I was very proud of the way all our seniors played in our last game," coach Pat Stark said. "But many of our younger players did exceptionally well, too. We have the nucleus of a solid team for 1981." Stark, who has had only three losing seasons in twelve campaigns as the Yellowjacket gridmaster, em­ phasizes that he approaches season No. Thirteen confidently. The 1980 record (3-5-1) might have been rewritten into a 5-4 record but for field goals-made or missed-in the dying seconds of two other games.

25 National meet This is the vanguard in the field of 270 runners who competed in the 1980 NCAA Division III Cross-Country Championships to which the University was host last fall. Rochester finished tenth (among seventy competing colleges representing all fifty states). Senior Doug Abeles was the thirty-second runner (out of the 270 entrants) to cross the finish line. Dave Moller '75M acted as starter of the meet, which took place in hilly Durand-Eastman Park. Moller won the 1974 national race on his way to All-America honors.
