��Curry romps, 55~ 7
Wesconn makes inau
By MARK AZZARA JR.
Sports Editor
Saturday was both a day to
remember and a day to forget for
Western Connecticut State's football
team.
The players always will remember
that they were the first men ever to
play varsity football at Wesconn and
that Saturday the school played its first
varsity game.
Wesconn's gridders also will find it
equally difficult to forget what
happened that afternoon under a
blazing hot sun and before some 1,900
people at Osborne Street Field.
Wesconn came out on the very short

Mustangs blew a lead and lost in the
final period to St. Mary's. 27-8 and they
were bound and determined not to let it
happen again.
It didn't. The Immaculate High
gridders held up for the full 48 minutes
and walked off the field with a 29-20
victory over Kolbe in Western

The quest to reach comes in the form
of a touch or a feeling in the hand.
To be able to walk in the playground at lunch, and
hear voices of fun and laughter.
To be able to strive for something you think
is right.
To be able to hear oceans of sound that you have built
from tiny streams that once started with the opening day
of school.
To want to be able to say to children something
that will make them laugh, and get a smi le in return.
To be able to taste a learning experience that you have
established and to know that it works.
To be able to see children growing up with new ideas,
and trying to think like them.
To be able to taste the freshness that children bring
to you with each day.
To be able to see that yo u have infl uenced a form
of growth.
To be able to smell a feeling of satisfaction wh ich a
child can give to you, and be able to turn around and
say one word . . . thanks for a beautiful experience.
To watch happiness and be able to hold hope in the
gra p of your hand.

When the white eagle of the North is flying overhead
The browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in gutter, dead.
Remember then, that summer birds with wings of fire flaying
Came to witness springs new hope, born of leaves decaying.
Just as new life will come from death, love will come at leisure.
Love of love, love of life and giving without measure
Gives in return a wondrous yearn of a promise almost seen.
Live hand-in-hand and together we'll stand on the threshold of a
dream.

�This yearbook, like most, probably will mean various things to
various people. To the staff and myself it means something special.
We wanted to show what Wesconn was like in I 971. We wanted to
show more than just who was in the Psychology Club and who lived
in the snack bar. We wanted to show what surrounded Wesconn in
I 971, what her people looked like, what they acted like, and with
what mood they lived.
Part of this mood encompasses a deja vu, part of it reflects the
enigma of age and the clash of generations, part of it reflects a disregard for human values.
We've spanned almost a century in the preceding pages. We've
shown Wesconn at the beginning of the century and shown what
Wesconn will be at the close of the century . . . 1971 lies somewhere
in between it all. And if there is one thing that emerges to the surface and means more than anything else in I971 it is youth - it is to
youth that we have dedicated this book.
Youth can occur at any age. The security and happiness of youth,
the mistakes, the spirit, the warmth and love, the laughter, and the
understanding and acceptance of youth are not just part of one generation but the unstated goal of all generations.
Wesconn is a place where youth both flourishes and stagnates. It
is a community of shared experience - both complex and simple. It
is a place where we are supposed to begin our age.
If we are to be the Children of Change and if WE are the Revolution, then we must begin with ourselves. We must reassess ourselves
and we must care about others.
Each being is different and being different is not bad. The individual is sacred and must remain so. Youth is sacred. Youth is constantly sought, but as youth is sought, age seeks.
We will go through our lives seeking much, but as we do we
should remain constantly aware of the simplicity of our youth, and
most of all, the sincerity and honesty of it.
Seek to capture the mystique of youth .

''Banker's Daughter''
cancellation shocks,
frustrates actors
by Tao Woolfe
The thunderclap cancellation
of this semester ' s proposed
musical melodrama , " The
Banker ' s Daughter ", has
wrought tragedy and confusion
for WestConn staff and students
Plans for the musical were
scrapped late last month when
professional playwright and
lyricist Edward Eliscu , who was
overseeing
the production,
withdrew WestConn's rights to
the play. He pulled the show
midway through its fifth week of
rehearsal - invoking student bitterness , wrath and confusion.
Explanations for the move garnered from Eliscu, WestConn
professor Dr. Bennet Oberstein,
director of the work, students in
the 25-member cast and from
theater department chairman
Richard Reimold were myriad .
Eliscu, a Newtown resident
who adapted the 19th century
musical melodrama for the
modern screen, cited, "logistical
problems," for calling the show
to a halt. The playwright would

Danbury legislators , 1,500mourning students and enough red
tape to stretch from Danbury to
New Haven, but ground-breaking
for the first building on the
Westside campus will take place
at 2 p.m . today.
In a ceremony that the Danbury area has struggled for since
1967, local , business , education,
college and state officials - including Gov. Ella T. Grasso will gather on the Mill Plain
Road site to dig the first
shovelfuls of dirt for construction
of a 66,000-squarefoot classroom
building.
The groundbreaking comes
just five days after Morganti Inc.
of Ridgefield , contractor for the
job , signed a contract with
Public Works officials
in
Hartford.
Learning of the groundbreak-
ing date only last Thursday ,
WestConn officials expressed
• both delight and surprise at the
building's progress in the past
two weeks .
" We are extremely pleased
that the state has moved so
rapidly in expediting the project ,''
said
Frederick
Leuthauser
, assistant
to
WestConn President Robert M.
Bersi. " We are really looking
forward to the opportunity to
share today's momentous event
with tl1e many individuals who
have worked so hard over the
years to improve the educational
facilitie s for Western Connecticut and the western sector of
the state ."
Dr. Bersi has invited all students , faculty and staff members
to the formal groundbreaking

campus.

of " logistics problems "
" We couldn't get the students
together, " Reimold recounted,
" they were not getting to rehear sals on time and many dropped
out." He attributed this to a lack
of commitment.
" Students don't realize . until
they get involved in a production
the kind of commitment theater
requires ," the department chairman said . He added that similar
problems have always plagued
his department.
The student cast , however, disagreed . Many of them said they
believed the production 's cancellation
stemmed from a
radical difference
between
Eliscu and Oberstein's vision of
direction and interpretation.
They added, however, that they

_EDITORIALS_
Be there!
Today's groundbreaking
ceremonies
mark a
monumental moment in WestConn's struggle for the
Westside campus.
And we all should make an effort to be there and
share in that moment.
By being there, we'll be showing our support for the
project , just as we showed our support for it at the
funeral.
And we'll have the satisfaction of seeing for ourselves
the beginning of construction on the Mill Plain Road
site.
The work of countless individuals will finally be
rewarded when that first shovelful of dirt is overturned
today.
But today marks more , however , than the promise of
.
construction soon to begin.
Today marks a victory for western Connecticut.
A victory over the sharp and bitter criticism, often
based on unfair and inaccurate statistics, that was
hurled at us in anger and fear.
A victory over the narrow-minded, short-sighted individuals who contend that expansion on the present
White Street campus is the course of action to be taken
here instead of new construction.
A victory over forces that sought to deny people in
this area of the state a decent facility for higher education.
In short, a victory over ignorance.
Show your support for Westside and be at the
groundbreaking today.
Inevitable
WestConn students will face a referendum proposing
a 50 percent fee increase in three weeks .
The increase, as we see it, is inevitable.
Inflation has hit us all, including the Student Government Association . It 's hit so hard, in fact, that the SGA
has been forced to spend more than it collects in student
fees.
And they're not spending that money freely, either .
Far from it.
The SGA has found itself in the-situation of funding an
increasing amount of campus clubs, with no recent increase in collected student fees to support this growing
number. ,
We realize that money tends to be tight these days ,
and an increase will hit everyone where it hurts .
But look at it this way .
With no money there can be no clubs , no guest
speak ers , no cultural events , no radio station , no
newspaper.
Sitting in a classroom isn't a total education . These
events are important to round out your four years at
WestConn.
Without an increase those four years could be very,
very dull.
If clubs are to continue receiving the funds the SGA
presently bestows at its annual budget hearings , if students are still to enjoy services made available to them
through SGA funding, the fee increase must be approved.

Disappointed
Dear Editor :
We are writing this letter
directed towards the Western
Connecticut
Arts Festival
Association. We, the Afro Am
Dance Group, were asked _toperform as a group with the Dance West Dance Club. The performanc e was scheduled for March
13, 1979 Our reply was yes, and
.
we were told not to worry about
any of the paperwork because it
had all been taken care of.
One week before the scheduled
performance DanceWest disbanded . We were asked if we would
still perform , we still said yes!
On Tuesday, March 13, we were
told we could not come into Ives
Auditorium until 7 p.m . On our
arrival we found the stage was
completely covered! There were
two st ude.Dts on the stage and
they told us that our performance
had been cancelled! It was not.
We cleared the stage of the
numerous chairs, music sta nds
and a piano . There was no way
we could move the risers , so we
were forced to perform with
them still on the stage. This was
all done by members of the dance
club and it should not have been.
There was 45 minutes to showtime by the time we finished.
Then we find out that even
though Dr. Huntley had told us
we would receive all of our
musical equipment through the
audio-visual department , NO
ONE WAS THERE! A note on
the door said, " Be back in a
minute! " When we did finally
receive the equipment, it was
only 20 minutes before show
time . Also, the equipment was in
very poor shape . During the performa nce the stereo repeatedly
changed tempos without any
assistance. This created many
hardships for the dancers . Not to
mention the number of times the
records skipped onthe stereo .
What we would like to know is,
IS THIS ORGA~IZATION ! ? In
our words, no! This performance
was were asked to do was for
free , so why the hassl e? We
would also like to add that the
condition of the stage was horrible . A couple of the members in
the dance group swept over the
stage but it was still unbelieveably filthy . Why should we
have to put up with this? We were
donating our time.
The Afro Am Dance group is
very
disappointed
with
whomever organized this year's
Art Festival. We put a lot of time
into this proposed performance.
We are very disappointed! We
Thoughts on Einstein
by Franc~ __R.Kendziorski
On March 14, the world noted
the 100th anniversary of the birth
of Albert Einstein , a man who
claimed " ... no particular talent
- I am merely inquisitive." In
the midst of the fame brought by
his inquisitiveness he still sought
the simple life of the thinker,
thinking about the physical structure of the universe .
He was a "la te bloomer, "
whose fate .....: ad he been born
h
100 years later - would have included extensive testing to find
out why he did not walk or talk at
anywhere near the " normal "
age. At school he was shrugged
off as retarded , but here he
would be given a lot of extra help
in learning to read. As a student
he was peacefully uncooperative,
a tactic we would treat via
counseling. But he thought. By
age 15, he had been asked to
leave school; one of his teachers
is said to have remarked that
" He would never make a success
of anything." Just thinking .
The Polytechnic Academy in
Zurich was persuaded to admit
him , but he did not return the
favor with studious interest or
even class atte ndance. A fellowstudent's excellent notes enabled
him to pass the graduation examinations. He had spent time
thinking. But without recommendations, there were no respectable jobs _open to him.

is concerned over our feelings ,

Library chaos
nears end
On the main floor , the
Technical Services Division ,
which handles purchasing ,
cataloging and classificaiton , has
been moved to the former administrative office and receiving
area . Additional seating capacity
has been created on the main
floor.
Space has been established for
a Reference Division office on
t he second flor , which will
provide room for desk and work
space for the reference staff .
Government documents are now
stored in the stack area facing
White Hall, also on the second
floor .
, The library
of Congress
classified general collection
begins on the second floor and is
continued on the third and fourth
floors. Dewey system books that
have not yet been classified are
also on the fourth floor.
Some regional reading center
material has been relocated to
the third floor , outside the
Curriculum Center . Space has
been left in the Library of Congress collection section for
future expansion .
The office of the Directo r of
Library Services is now located
on the fourth floor in the former
Seminar Room Number One.
Alternative
space for the
seminar
room has been
established .
" It will be another few days to
a week before everything is in
plce, " Blaisdell said. "We are
sorry for inconveniences , but we
think the library will be better. "
Other library employees who
could be reached for comment
felt that the reorganization was
proceeding well. " We could use
more people to help, but it 's going well with what we've got,"
one employee said .
The employee added that there
have been no major problems
with the reorganization , and that
once the changes are finished ,
they will be beneficial to students . ·
AQ_othermployee said that the
e
reorganization has been " fantastic. " He noted that there is a
shortage of necessary shelving ,
which he termed a problem , and
added, " We're trying to make do
with existing materials ."
The employee also mentioned
that the reorganization
has
already helped students , especially with periodicals on one
l e vel a nd t he lo c ation of
microfilm '' where the staff can
help."
Blaisdell said that there is no
tie-in
between
what the
WestConn library staff is doing
and what other state college
libraries are doing in terms of
reorganizational changes. " This
is purely internal, " he added.

Students and faculty who are
perplexed over changes that occurred at the Ruth Haas Library
during the spring break may
have to bear with inconvenience
for only a few more days.
The library
has been
reorganized to provide increased
accessibility and better service ,
according to Robert M. Blaisdell ,
director of Library Services .
"We wanted to place things in
a better position than they
were, " he said. "No space was
gained, but we hope to make the
library more accessible and to
serve people better ."
Changes based on recommendations of the library staff and a
professional consultant were
made during the spring break,
Blaisdell added.
Some major changes that he
detailed are as follows:
The mezzanine now contains
periodicals , both current and
bound issues. Back issues which
were previously on the fomth
floor are also on the mezzanine ,
as are the major abstracts.
All
audiovisual
and
micromedia equipment are now
located on the lower level , where
they can be integrated .with the
PERC center . Reading _
equipment , the ERIC collection ,
microfilm , microfiche , roll film
and ultrafiche are also found in
the lower level. Indexes to these
materials will remain on the
second floor in the reference
division.

Senator Monochi said .
Senator Flynn said that just
because you become a club
doesn 't mean money will be
there .
" Don't give them (clubs) any
money at all, " ,Senator Axelrod
suggested . ·
After the roll call vote, Lubus
told the senators, "You should be
proud of yourselves. You stuck
through it. "
Lubus also told the senators
that the Westside campus is moving "full speed ahead ."
"Ground breaking may be
possible before the end of the
semester ," he said, adding that
graduation ceremonies
may
possibly be held there .
A large stack of petitio ns that
were circulated at Trumbull
Mall, West Farms Mall and
Naugatuck Valley Mall March 17
were presented to Gov. Grasso,
Lubus reported . The petitions
showed support for the new
campus from throughout the
state .
Capozzi said that anyone who
was at the Bond-Commission
meeting March 23 would have
gotten a lesson in politics . It was
apparent who was against the
new campus even before the
vote, he said. Gov. Grasso appointed five of her top administrators to the board, so she
had six votes in her favor , he added.
Capozzi told the senators that
when the bill to raise the legal
drinking age comes to the
Assembly floor for a vote, ,he
would like as many students as
possible to go to Hartford .
" Other schools will be turning
out, he said . I would like to see if
we can raise more people than
the other schools, as we did for
the funeral. "
The Elections
Committee
reported that petitions for the
SGA election _ out March 28 and
go
are due April 6.
Elections will be held April 19
and 20.
The Judiciary Board reported
that only one person showed up at
a meeting designed to explain
parliamentary
procedures.
Judge Larry Selnick told the
senators that it's their own fault
if they don ' t understand
parliamentary procedures .
The Parking Appeals and
Regulations Committee reported
that they have approved the
following measures:
• No parking of the faculty in
student. park)ng a reas .
'• P.arking any place on campus
between 6 p.m . and 6 a.m.
• A straight parking fine of $2.
The committee added that the
Board of ' Trustees
must
recognize them as a body and accept what they have passed
before they go into effect .
Senator Norman said the Parking
Committee will get on the
Board 's agenda at their next
meeting .
The next SGA meeting will be
April 9.

ountaineering is an
oral tradition. Over
the years, it has
been passed down
· ·... from teacher to

store owner to customer. As a
result, a folklore - a mythology, if you will - has formed
around the mountains of
Busch. You,being a student
of mountaineering, no doubt
wish to acquaint yourself with
these truths and half-truths,
these stories both accurate
and apocryphal. A wise decision. And, as luck would have
it, this ad is just the ticket.
One of mountaineering's
earliest legends is Bennington

inventor of the phrase "your

Japan's military Ireland's
•
power IS debated literat ·ure
by Kathy Coughlin
J . Owen Zurhellen Jr ., head of
the American Foreign Policy
Association , led a discussion last
Wednesday night in the Hartford
Lounge of the College Union on
" The U.S. and Japan-How Safe Is
Our Pacific Anchor?"
The discussion was the third in
an eight-session program titled
" Great Decisions-1979 coor",
dinated by Dr . Eric Roman ,
WestConn history professor .
Zurhellen covered aspects of
Japan 's history over the last 100
years-mainly its rapid rise as a
significant world power-then
held the floor open for questions
and comments .
As to the safety of our Pacific
anchor , Zurhellen said " We
should think of Japan as an important anchor not in military
terms , but in terms of its
economic strength .''
Dr . Roman said he ''has doubts
about anyone attacking Japan for
itself . The only possibility of an
attack on Japan would stem from
its being an important American
militar y outpost. "
In an interview last week, Dr .
Roman said , he began coor dinating the " Great Decisions"
program at WestConn late last
fall. This is the first time the 25
y ear -old nationwide , non partisan discussion program ,
which is sponsored by the
Foreign Policy Association , has
been held at a college or university , he said .
Dr . Roman said he is very anxious to involve students in the discussions, and that he hopes more
will take advantage of the
program and come to the next
five sessions .
He said he believes it would
greatl y benefit students to attend , for they should " take pride
in being intellectuals. It is important for more students to open up
and want to be informed on world
political affairs . This way they
would know their votes really
mean something ."
Students could possibly participate in this program in the
future on a credit basis , he added . They could aid in its
organization and get a return on
their investments ," he said . He
noted , however , that at this time
no program like this is in the
works.
Upcoming " Great Decisions"
events include a panel topic Wednesday on "The United States
and the Third World-Latin
America : Are we sitting on a
powder keg?"
Panelists will be Dr . Alex
Westfried , WestConn political
science faculty member ; Dr .
Albert DeVidas, Caribbean affairs expert; and Mrs . Deidre
Akerson, native and citizen of
Colombia involved with political
and economic affairs in that
country .
About forty area residents and
a few students also participated
in the discussion.
College to save $28,000 by
closing dorms 6 days early
by Lesly Krosky
A financial savings of at least
$28,000 was cited by John
Wallace, director of housing, as
the key reason for closing
campus residence halls at noon
Sunday, May 20, six days before
graduation.
The dean 's council approved
the dormitory closings as a
means to absorb some of the
financial overload under which
the college is operating , Wallace
said .
Seniors will have to check out
of their dorms by May 20 and
return for graduation on Satur day, May 26. Education major s
planning to do sophomore participation after finals will not be
able to stay in their rooms on
campus.
Closing the dorms immediately
after final exams , Wallace said ,
is a " long-term decision , with
this year 's seniors not the only
ones affected ."
He added that the college hopes
to find a consistent policy for
closing dorms during vacations .
Once adopted , dormitories would
always be closed during certain
break s.
Security for a small number of
students spreadout in a dormitory was another factor
Wallace cited. Last year about 80
students stayed in residence halls
between the end of finals and
commencement .
Wallace warned that students
who wish to have the decision
reviewed by the dean of students
affairs should note the possibility
of increased fees for dormitory
rooms if the decision is reversed.

examined
by Carol Recht
Dr . Ed Hagan, WestConn
English professor, speaking last
week in the Hartford Lounge at
an ·Englis h Society Brown Bag
event , reflected on the Irish
character
in literature,
the
rebirth of pride in Irish culture
and the controversy among
scholars as to what their national
literary tradition really is.
Dr. Hagan said that many people have the idea that the typical
Irishman is not to be taken
seriously . " He wears a bowler,
laughs a lot and totte rs around
half drunk ," he said . " Take a
look at the St. Patrick 's Day
Parade ."
·
He suggested this image comes
from an Anglo-Saxon view of the
Irish as simple , uncultured and
childlike . Later in an interview ,
Dr. Hagan said , " it was an image
the Anglo-Saxons could be comfortable with, similar to our
early understanding of blacks ."
He said that educated Irish
writers depicted upper-class life .
If a typical Irishman found his
way into the story , he was more
of a " caricature than a character ." It .was appropriate to be as
" English " as possible.
Dr . Hagan explained that this
was primarily becau se English
protestants were a-llowed an
education , while Irish Catholics
were not. Because
Irish
literature was primarily oral or
not tra nslate d into English , Irish
culture was consider ed alien,
without having much to offer the
literary world .
Add to that the publication of
the Darwinian theory in 1859
,
which Dr . Hagan said had a tendency to make people " nervous ."
The idea circulated among the
English that " all you had to do is
look next door and you find the
missing link."
When scholars finally began to
investigatge
authentic Irish
culture , in the early 19th century ,
they were surprised to find that
their literature was not so unsophisticated
after all . Dr.
Hagan said that depending on
your point of view, it was eit her
highly serio us or uproariously
funny.
They discovered
that in
Ireland 's Golden Age, the 6th to
8th century, the poet was at the
center of power . Responsible for
memorizing the society 's laws ,
culture and history , the local
bard could even wield control
over the lineage of kings, simply
by " forgetting " to include them
in the geneology.
Dr . Hagan said that bards often
use poetic devices of rhyme and
meter to facilitate memorization. Rather than simple folk
tales , the material was found to
be highly artistic . The bardic
tradition greatly appealed to
Irish writers , and a national
literary reviva l developed .
Dr . Hagan illustrated the controversy
surrounding
the
nati onal literary tradition by
present ing three different ver-

,
An otherwise dull vacation was
salvaged by an excellent concert
at the Mid-Hudson Valley Civic
Center
in Poughkeepsie.
Renaissance was the main attraction, and Steve Forbert was
the opener .
Forbert played a solo set of accoustic guitar and harmonica.
Stylistically like Dylan , Guthrie
and other folkies , this man
fulfilled his job as warm-up . That
kind of music is excellent for a
spring evening.
Likewise , his debut album
"Alive on Arrival" (which has
the benefit of a full back-up
band) is one ofthe season 's most
promising new entries .
Renaissa nce is an English
classical-rock group. Some of
their better known pieces are
" Ocean Gypsy, " " Carpet of the
Sun" and "Ashes are Burning ."
In fact , " Ashes" is something of
a theme song for the band and
made for an outstanding encore
complete with an impressive
stage show.
<
Margaret Reilly, sophomore:
Someone called up and said there
was a fire in the basement. I was
in the shower and by the time Ifigured it out I said , " You fool."
Lisa Fries, freshman: A lady
called up and told my mom my
dad had sent flowers to another
woman. My mom got r eal upset
but found out it was her best
friend just laying the trick .
~
Ray Mayo, freshman: I asked
my mom for the insurance number to tell them the car was
wrecked.
Concetta Matro, sophomore: A
friend called my name when I
walked in the door and I turned
and got a pie in the face .
~
Heavy
Lead singer Annie Haslam has
an incredible operatic voice,
very high and very strong .
Several songs were done from
the new album due out in April or
May. Less classically influenced
now than they once were , the
subjects of their music still tend
to be intellectual. Dr . Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde, sailing ships and spies,
are among the upcoming song
themes .
This writer was not familiar
with any of these performers
prior to this concert. Anyone who
would miss a concert for this
reason would miss a great evening of entertainment and the
chance to see musicians perform.
Any musician worth his salt
should be able to perform live .
Live entertainment is the best
form of recreation available for
the price .

Since Dylan doesn't do this
stuff any more it's good that the
job has fallen to this guy. Forbert 's style r eveals influences
from such diverse source as
Springsteen and Guthrie (Wood).
This is the result of Forbert 's upbringing in the south and his later
experience knocking around in
the city .
" Grand Central" is currently
getting a lot of air play . It is a
marvelously visual song and
anyone who has been to that
great train station in the city will
immediately be there again when
this song plays .
This kind of music is the
closest thing to folk music in
America today . The difference is
that folk doesn 't usually have any
commercial
potential.
Folk
music is played by people on
their back porch after a day at
the factory or in the fields . I
recommend that you buy this
album and play it on your back
porch . Or in your car, or in your
house.

Dr. Bennett Oberstein, director of the "Glass Managerie"
Play
(Continued from Page 1)
do not blame Eliscu personally.
Ron Prince, a senior music
major in charge of musical direction, said last week that if director and playwright had stayed in
closer contact the production
would be nearing completion .
Prince estimated that he spent
between 50 and 60 hours working
on the musical score , and
teaching diction , timing and
operetta -style singing to the cast .
This, he said , was in addiition to
the inestimable amount of personal time he devoted to the
music .
The senior had to forego practice for his senior recital , he
said , adding bitterly that his experience with " The Banker 's
Daughter " was , "a waste of time
- a bad situation. "
"No amount of rationalizing is
going to lessen the pain ,'' Prince
cont imred. " I'm angered and
disappointed. "
Helena Bonadio, a music major who dropped all but two
courses this semester to participate in the production said ,
" It 's ruined my whole semester .
I wasted many hours . If I hadn 't
been involved I would have taken
far more courses ."
Mary Ann Vagnini, chairman
of the Board of Governors , said
she was forced to find time for
production between student
teac hing in Mahopac , her BOG
duties and other professional
commitments. Miss Vagnini was
to be the lead soprano in the 12member chorus . On hearing of
the cancellation , Miss Vagnini
said, " I felt shocked ."
Perhaps
hardest
hit was
Oberstein.
" The Banker ' s
Daughter, " was to have been his
first production since coming to
WestConn last September . He
said in an interview last week
that he had spent four months
researching, casting and coordinating the music, dance and
acti ng.
" I still think we could have
done it ," Oberstein said. " I have
acted in and directed many
productions. I know there would
have come a time , as opening
night drew near, that the production would have clutched them .
Everything would have come
together - I've seen it happen ."
Oberstein
described
his
method of directing as " improvisational ," rather than dictatorial. " I like to let the actors
find the action during rehearsal ," the director
said .
"Freedom of the actor in this
case , however , was unrealistic.
There was no time to explore the
possibilities ."
It was during a particularly
" choatic " rehearsal that Eliscu
decided
to pull the play ,
Obedrstein said.
Other explanations Oberstein
offered include :
• The 25-member cast was unrealistic and unwieldy.
• WestConn students do not
have the necessary drive or sense
of commitment needed to successfully contribute to a major
production.

to do over, Oberstei n said , he
would dispense with his improvisational technique and opt
for a smaller production .
He ha s chosen "T he Glass
Menagerie, ' ' a Tennessee
Williams classic with a cast of
four, to replace the cancelled
melodrama . The production is
slated for next month .
Department members and observers involved in theater pointed out last week that it is not unusual for a playwright to work
with a director or to withdraw
the rights to his play. As one informed observer put it, " Many
shows are cancellled before they
ever open. Playwrights are often
dissatisfied with the way things 1
are going or have arguments i
with a director 's vision and pull
out. It 's always painful but it's
not unusual. "
Oberstein said he received his
bachelors degree from the University of Iowa, his ma ster of
fine arts degree from Boston University and his doctorate from
Indiana University .

Random Stops Nixxed
Although the First and Fifth
Amendments to the Constitution
are getting the most publicity
these days , the Fourth Amendment has come to the aid of
hassled motorists.
The Supreme Court has ruled 81 that it is unconstitutional to
randomly pick and stop cars for
the sole purpose of checking
license and registration . The
decision was based on the Fourth
Amendment's guarant ee agai nst
unreaso nable searc h and seizure,
unless officers have an " articula ble and reasonable suspicion .. of a violation .
However. this ruling does not
bar officers from using other
met hods such as stopping each

checkpoints .
H-bomb Story Banned
In a real case involving possible " prior restraint " a federal
judge has banned the publication
of a news story on hydrogen
bombs .
U.S. District Judge Robert W.
Warren was asked by the government to block publication in
_ r ogressive
P
Magazine
on
grounds that the article would
reveal secret information that
could lead to nuclear weapon
proliferation .
The magazine 's editor , who
argued that the story deals with
the controversialty of the bomb
rather than how to build one, said
that Progr essive intends to appeal the injunction .

part of a nationwide program
which aims to evacuate millions
of Americans from danger areas
before the beginning of a nuclear
war , while at the same time
prese rving government and industrial facilities to prevent
economic and civil disaster .
According to a recent news
story , the plan approved by
Preside nt Carter in November ,
represents the major thrust of
nuclear disaster planning in
America today . It is meant to
avoid the cost of building blast
shelters as has been done in
Russia , Switzerland , and the
Scandinavian countries ."
The cost , estimated at $60
million , is " considered too high
and defense planners say the
money would be better spent in
weaponry to maintain " the
balance of power, " the article

said. .
The plan is based on the
assumption that there will be an
advance warning of at least three
days before the bombs start falling.
According to Winter , the plan
proposes, to move the population
of Danbury to Washington
County, New York . Currently ,
there are 85,500 people living in
the Danbury area. The crisis
relocatio n plan would aim to
move 62,400 of them to a safer
area .
The news story sai d the theory
of crisis reloc ation hinges on the
assum ption that a nuclear attack
" would follow a period of intense
international tension," rather
than occur as a " bolt from the
blue."
Winter tends to agree with this
opinion, and said he believes that
a crisis relocation program
"co uld be feasible " under these
circumstances.
But what if there is little or no
advance warning of a nuclear attack?
According to Winter, if little
advance warning is given , " Danbury doesn't have anything to
worry about, " He said that the
" time availa ble before a nuclear
attack will determine the num-

When asked if a fight at the
sorority-sponsored pub night last
February will have an effect on
getting a pub established, Deane
responded , " Yes, it will have
some effect . It will make it that
much harder to sell to the administration .''
The incident occurred when a
student allegedl y tried to force
his way into the already-filled
snac kbar .
Support for an on-campus pub
has been voiced in the past by
colleg e President Robert Bersi
and Leslie Lafond , dean of student affairs . In an interview in
September , Lafond expressed
concern that a pub might not be
economically feasible and would
have a hard time competing with
area bars .
Deane said that while support
for the pub has been evident,
some people have been "easy"
about it . " It's a big step and a lot
of money ," he said.

hassles there, I can see a pub on
campus sometime next year ."
To raise the money for the pub ,
the SGA has proposed a student '
fee increase. This would include
an initial 100percent increase for
the 1979-80 school year, which .
would mean $50 per student. In
1980 student fees would go back ,
down to $37.50 per st udent , and
there would be a 5 percent increase every three years beginning in 1982.
The idea of having an oncamp us pub was started a little
over six years ago by former
WestConn student Bob Fauble.
Fauble set up a physical plan for
the pub, but no operati on plan .
Ken Hockspri ng and Larry
Selnick took the task on after
Fauble's graduation and created
a freshman class pub committee .
Due to lack of student involvement, little progress was made ·
by this group.
Last September Ray Lubus,

day overtime
Ill open in g ...:
by Lou Agnello
It was brisk and cold last Tuesday afternoon
when Muffy
Jenkins fireballed WestConn to a
4-3 opening day extra-inning victory over the University of New
Haven .
WestConn won the cliff-hanger
in the 10th inning when they overcame a one-run deficit. The winning run was driven in by Cindy
Sofokles.
The game started off on a bad
note for WestConn as UNH
scored two first-inning runs.
UNH's Sandy Castlevetro led off
that inning with a base on balls .
She then went on to steal second .
WestConn's Jenkins struckout
the next batter .
Joan Zurlo came to bat for
UNH and got a bunt single that
scored Castlevetro . Zurle then
advanced t o second base on the
throw to the plate , and went on to
steal third base and score on a
wild pitch by Jenkins . Jenkins
settled down after her shaky
start and struckout the next batter , then forced the next one to
ground out.
WestConn cut the deficit to one
run in the second inning when M.
R. Collins led off with a base on
balls and was advanced to second
base on a sacrifice
by Jill
Kwitkowski. Loreetta Marro got
on base because of an error and
advanced Collins to third base .
Mary Lynch then came to bat and
sacrificed to score Collins . The
inning ended shortl y after as
WestConn was unable to score
any more runs.

Opp one nts vow to
continue · fight
against campus
by C. L. Stringer
HARTFORD - Reeling with
the outcome of last Friday 's
Bond Commission vote, the two
opposing forces in the dispute
over a new WestConn campus
pledged after the meeting to hold
fast to their hard-fought positions.
Led by Gov. Ella T. Grasso , the
commissio n decided 6-4 to
r elease $4.5 million jo begin constructio n of a classroom building
·on the Westside campus , despite
strong and sometimes bitter opposition from its four legislative
members .
.
" The commission and those
voicing support with the governor did a fine thing toda y,"
college P resi dent Robe r t M.
Bersi said following the tense 40minute debate.
Ack n ow ledgin g t ha t he
believ es polit ics pl ay ed a
"disturbing part " in resistance
to the project , Dr. Bersi charged
that its opponents failed to focus
on the " real issues " involved.
"They kept using dropping student enrollment figures , using
only part of the data , the state 's
18-year old students," he said.
" They kept talking about a $250
million concept which our own
Board of Trustees in September
1975turne d away from ."
Dr . Bersi and other WestConn
proponents contend that their op-
position's data does not properly
represent WestConn enrollme nt,
which includes large numbers of
part-time
and older nontraditional student s. They also
stress that the college is no
longer seeking a complete new
ca mpus comple x on the Mill
Plain Road site , but instead a
dormit or y and classroom
building to ease over-crowding on
the present camp us.
Phil Capozzi, legislative liaison
to Hartfor d , also ex pres sed
pleasure with Fr iday's outcome .
The tough opp ositi on from

meeting , Capozzi said, came as
no surprise.

_EDITORIALS:-
Letters To The Editor
A thank yo_ note to Ella
u
Thank you, Governor Grasso.
We were skeptical of your support for the Westside
campus in the past - we Were critical of your every
move. But we were scared, scared that what was heard
coming from Hartford would prove to be no more than
campaign promises uttered in the last minutes before
election .
We were wrong. And ever so glad we were.
By your support at last week's Bond Commission
meeting, it was clear that your committment to higher
education, in particular for western Connecticut, the
fastest growing region in the state both in population
and corporate growth, is an unwavering one.
And in return for your support, you have ours when
the need arises.
Our thanks are also extended to Dr. Robert Bersi, this
college's president. Without his diligent, earnest, sincere and consistent appeals , presentations and pleas to
city, state and community leaders, WestConn would
have never achieved the degree of success it has today .
Our area lawmakers - Sen. Wayne Baker, Rep. Jim
Dyer, Rep. Joe Wolkovich and Rep. Clarise Osieki- all
deserve our thank-you as well.
Their constant lobbying and support for Westside certainly helped assure the outcome of last week's vote.
And let's not forget the students.
Individuals such as Ray Lubus and Phil Capozzi, who
were instrumental in organizing the funeral, are worthy
of the highest praise possible.
The countless hours they spent on that project were
well worth it. The funeral was undoubtedly the ~ost impressive turnout of WestConn students in anyone's
memory. A fact we can all be proud of, because we all
played a part in it.
Let's use it
Virtually everyone agrees that the concept of the
new WestConn campus , conceived more than a decade
ago, is obsolete for this day and age.
For economic reasons , the 15-year-old plan can
never materialize the way it was once envisioned. Construction costs have soared to such astronomical highs
that the cost of a single building is staggering.
And if that weren 't enough, Westside opponents have
vowed to make it as difficult as possible for anything
more than the already approved classroom building to
be built on the Mill Plain Road site.
But this isn't to say we will never use the 260-acre
tract. Eventually, classes will be taught there and students will live there - as a Hartford newspaper called
it, Westside will become a "satellite" campus of
WestConn.
But let's not wait any longer to use that land which
belongs to us.
The funeral held there three weeks ago proved that
students want to use their campus now, since most of
them won't be here to enjoy and benefit from the new
facilities when they are finally built.
Why not have open-air classrooms at Westside? Outdoor concerts? A clambake, perhaps? Maybe even a
graduation .
Westside belongs to us. We have a right to use it. The
Student Government should check into these and other
ideas on how we can use it now.
We will not publish a letter unless we
know who has written 1t, but will consider
withholding. the name of the writer Letters should be typewritten and double

SGA conti11ues to bu ild
support for new cam pu s
by Lesley Krosky
Student Government Association President Ray Lubus, citing
the Wests ide campu s as the
" biggest issue this year ," reported at the March 12 meeting that
the funeral -- which received
stat ewide press - was a very big
success.
" It worked out better than we
thought ," Lubus said.
Phil Capozzi, Hartford liaison,
thanked all the people who helped
with the funeral. Capozzi said it
was importan t that more people
came to the funeral than the SGA
predicted .
The SGA also formed a committe e to plan a petition drive at
major shopping centers in the
state for support of the Westside
ca mpus . Thi s drive will
demonstrate support for the project ouside the campus .
The Executive board reported
that the hearse and flowers for
the funeral were donated. The
only cost was three bottles of the
tie-dye and three kegs of beer .
The other kegs were donated by
var ious classe s.
" Th e . Channel 10 debate
scheduled for tonight with Jim
Norman , Senator DeNardis and
myse lf has been postponed ."
Lubus· t old the senators . " Dr .
Bersi felt Sen. DeNardis could
rally support against the new
campus," Lubus said, adding,
" This would be bad for our
cause."
Lubus said the purpose of the
debate would be to reach the
community and let them know
the conditions on campus . "I do
foresee us going on Channel 10,"
he added.
The Bloodmobile Committee
reported that their T-shirt design
is completed . The shirts are
white with a red drop of blood
pictured and " WestConn Bloodmobile" _
printed on them .
The committee noted that letters have been sent to last year 's
250 donors. Letters have also
been sent to nontraditional student s. The BOG is printing
publicity letters to be put on cars
in the parking lot the day before
the bloodmobile.
McDonald's is donating punch
for 200 people and 500 free drink

Three Hearts - Bob Welch
Bob Welch is repetitous as hell.
There are 10 new songs on this
album, but you need the blank
spaces between the tracks to
know where one begins and
another leaves off .
He is repetitous to the point of
putting two remakes of older
songs on this album. " Come Softly to Me" was made 20 years
ago . This song is so straightforward and simple that there is
no point in remaking it . No point
in expecting Stevie Nicks and
Christie McVie to carry it for
Welch, talented as they are .
"I Saw Her Standing There " is
a horrible , lifeless version of a
great song that deserves a better
fate than this. Welch couldn 't
match the love the Beatles put
into their songs , so we just have
to settle for a little extra
boredom.
As with " Sentimental Lady "
from the " French Kiss " al bum
Welch does have one good song
out. " Precious Love " is a bouncy
little single that may spend some
time on the charts before fading
into obscurity. Let 's hope Bob
Welch does the same before he
can do any more damage to the
oldies-but-goodies.
If You knew Suzi .. . - Suzi
Quatro
About Suzi Quatro has switched
to the RSO label, there are no
disco dirges on this record . Quite
to the contrary, "If You Can't
Give Me Love" is a put down on
the shallow, narcissistic disco
boy 's we run across all too often.
The Robert Stigwood Organization has left its mark , how€ver ,
as this record is unmistakenly
mellower than Suzi is known for.
Thi s is not to say that Suzi is well
known. After two albums in the
mid-70s that only did moderately
well, Quatro dropped out of sight
for a while . Somehow she got into
television as Leather Tuscadero
on " Happy Days ".
If she recove rs from that , it
won 't be because of this album .
This attempt to change her style
from hard -rocker to soft-sister is
not convincing.

''A Call T o Live'' seeks truth
by Fred Hammond
The SGA-sponsored multimedia presentation " A Call to
Live" held March 14 in the Ives
Auditorium was well-attended ,
SGA President Ray Lubus said .
The show gave no answers , but
challenged the audience by raising " questions of existence "
through photography of nature,
beginning with a time-lapsed
sunrise over an ice-encrusted
hill .
Glenn Johnson , creator of the
show, said, " I broke the rules of
. photography . I wanted the pictures to represent what is there
without twisting it , to have the
effects come about naturally .
" I wanted to capture the
beauty that is there without trying to make the viewer feel a certain way about what is the picture ," he said.
Lubus called the slide show a
" very good mixture of excellent
photography
, music
and
meaningful commentary. ' '
A personal friend of Johnson's,
Lubus added that the show "had
more meaning to me because I
could understand it more . The
entire piece reflects the growth

tion. Classifieds should be on

time, in the areas downstairs ;
however , not in the snack bar .
Memorial Hall is our building,
and can only serve us as long as
we maintain it. Toward this effort , let us all work together. A
good start would be to recognize
the rules presently in effect
regarding all aspects of the
bulding. We will keep the campus
up-to-date on the further developments regarding House Rules ,
that will be approved by the BOG
for the '79-'80 school year , and
that will therefore go into effect
in the summer and fall.
Thanks for your cooperation ,

D on't minimize
To the Editor :
I was thoroughly disgusted
with and ashamed
of the
Residence Directors and Assistant Directors of Housing, J.
Rothman , J . Higgins, and E .
Lazarus for even implying that
the raison d'etre for the turnout
at the Funeral was the beer . I did
not see one of them at the
Funeral and I think it is a shame
that these people should even try
to minimize the importanceofthis
event. I only hope that their
negative attitude does not spread
to those students who they
"direct. "

of the author 's personality ."
The theme of the presentation
was questions that are common
to all men - is there somethin g
that lies beyond myself ? Is it
chance that we are here ?
Following the show one student
commented , "Our eyes are so
geared to one thing on our way to
class that we do not see the
beauty around us."
When asked why he presented
this at the college , Johnson
replied , "Isn't college the place
to see the truth ? Why you're
alive? What is truly right and
wrong? Can it just be the place to
all the things you always wanted
to do and avoid the real issues
because you think you can deal
with them later ?
" A place of education ,"
Johnson added, " has to be more
than a place to memor ize a stan -
dard. "
Johnson said " A Call to Live"
was put together " not to give
answers but to ask the right questions. There are concepts greater
than our own imm ediate needs
and that's the where we find out
the true meaning or right and
wrong.
The pr ese ntation , he said ,
shows " the joy and beaut y that is
in t he wor l d and ho w it
challenge s us to consider : " Are
we merely some kind of fre ak accident that just happened ?"
Perhaps the show's narrative
climax says it best : " If it was
chance that arranged everyt hing
this way, wat a caring chance it
is, what a brilliantly art istic accident, what a purposeful happening, so intent on giving me a
hope , I know I couldn't live
without ."

College is a Killer?
Attending college may be
hazardous to your health .
Like a sniper shooting ran domly into a crowd, suicide kills
thousands of college students
every year .
People who attend college have
at least a 50% greater chance of
dying by suicide than do young
people in the same age group who
do not attend college .
" With the suicide rate among
young people almost tripling in 20
years ," says Dr . Marv Miller , a
consultant in suicidology based in
San Diego, " it appear s tha t a
near epidemic of self-dest rucitve
behavior is now evident in the
United States ."
Suicide is now considered the
second leading cause of death on
American campuses in 1978 with
,
a strong possibility that many accidents which take lives are instead disguised suicides . For obvious reason s, it is much mor e
favorable to list a death as an accident rather than a suicide.
What can you do to help? Learn
the warning signs of suicide and
be presistent
in obtaini ng
profes ,sional assistance for a
friend when you spot the clues in
his/ her life.
One of the strongest clues is a
previous attempted suicide , especially if the attempt was
serious enough to have caused
death .
Related behavioral clues are
the typical symptoms such as
loss of : the ability to sleep, concentration , energy , sex drive , appetite , and zest for life .
Sometimes college students in
a presuicidal state will give away
a valued possession , such as a
stereo set or a pair of expensive
skis , and say , " Take this . I won't
be needing it anymore ."
Situational clues might include
the sudden
ending
of a
relationship with a spouse/ lover ,
a drastic drop in grades , being
fired from a job which the student needs in order to remain in
school, or loss of other financial
assistance .
When several of these danger
signals ar e present , Miller urges
friend s of the troubled student to
contact the student health or
counselling service , a crisis center , or a community mental
health center as quickly as possible. Time counts!
He emphas izes that the longer
you hesitate to seek help for a
potentialy suicidal friend , the
less likelihood there is that you'll
ever have a second chance to be
helpful.

math clinic
by Jim Seri
Despite
a slow start,
WestConn's math clinic should
serve more students as more
people on campus know that the
service is available, according to
Dr. Bruce King, who runs the
clinic.
Dr . King, a professor of
mathematics , said that about a
half-dozen students have visited
the clinic so far . He added that
these students have requested
help approximately 15-20times.
" Wha
twe mean to do is to be
available to help students, " Dr.
King said. "If a student has a
specific problem , such as with a
homework problem or with a formula, we can help in almost any
math course up to calculus.
" We can't help someone who
might come in now and say 'I
don't understand anything', " he
continued. " But we can help
someone who has a problem in a
particular area."
The clinic, which is open from
2 to 4 p.m. each day that classes
are in session in Room 012 of
Higgins Hall Annex, has been in
operation since Feb. 26.
" Some things are slow in
getting off the ground," Dr. King
said of the response to the clinic,
" especially when people don't
know about them."
" Usage will increase if people
know that this service is
available ," Dr. King predicted .
"As time goes on, we hope for
more students to come in."
Dr. King is assisted at the
clinic by Debra Roy, a math major in her junior year .
WestConn's radio station
WXCI went off the air Sunday
night at 11:00.
The station is moving its
transmitter from the attic of
Old M;iin to a new site on top
of Danbury's Shelter Rock.
The added height will give the
station almost double the
range it has had until now.
WXCl's Chief Engineer, Jay
Fink, estimated that the station will be off the air "a cou1
ple of days ," and advised
listeners to check 91.7 their
FM radio Wednesday or
Thursday morning.
Mike Grady,
General
Manager , said that he was
very excited about the move.
" It's the culmination of a
two-year project . But there
are many more challenges
ahead of us. We hope to grow
along with WestConn," Grady

Task Force
Launched
by Susan Bacchiocchi
Danbury-area
forces have
joined ranks to combat opponents
of the Westside campus , who
launched a renewed attack on the
project in a press conference last
week.
A letter-writing blitz, begun in
January , and the recently
organized WestConn Task Force ,
created last Friday , constitute
the artillery.
The task force , with Danbury
Mayor Donald M. Boughton and
Bethel First Selectman Francis
Clark elected as co-chairmen, is
a non-partisan group with a "sincere desire to see the WestConn
campus expanded," according to
Boughton.
The group's meeting last Friday was a strate gy planning session to determine the most effective way to get Hartford's support for the project, according to
coalition members.
Two days before the group's
meeting, the four legislative
members of the state bonding
commission expressed "ser ious
reservations
abo ut the advisability of moving ahead with
the proposed new campus at
Western Connecticut
State
College," according to a press
release .
Those commission members
opposing the Westside campus include Rep. Irving Stolberg and
Rep. Larry DeNardis, both from
the New Haven area and both
vocal critics of the projection the
past few months .
Additional support from the
Danbury community has come in
the form of a massive letterwriting campaign to Governor
Ella Grasso 's office since the
beginning of the school year.

Big success
The enthusi asm and spirit -you showed at Thursday's
mock funeral was phenomenal , and the rally was a
whopping success .
By attending a funeral, you've brought new life into a
sometimes apathetic campus.
And you showed, once and for all, that you will not let
higher education at WestConn die a slow death.
Along with area legislators , you have presented a
solid, united front to Hartford ,
To the Editor :
The funeral that was held last
Thursday
was a smashing
success . It was a success because
the students at WestConn are the
best , and they care.
We can all be proud of what we
did Thursday , because we sent a
big message to Hartford .
The students want a good
education, so stop playing with
Western .
I would also like to thank
everyone who helped . I can say
that at WestConn we have the
best student organization in all of
Connecticut. They organized an
event that most schools could
only dream about . Ph'l C

Legislative Liaison
You've started with a bang, so let's not end with a
whimper. Keep writing letters, let everyone know
you've just begun to fight.
And to those students- who put their time and energy
into the organization and planning of the mock funeral,
we offer our hearty congratulations for a job well done.
Without the effort put forth by individuals such as Phil
Capozzi, and SGA President Ray Lubus, to name a few,
all
this _ might never have happened .
But it did happen .
And it ~an't stop there.
The proposals being made by opponents to the new
campus are. at the very least , ridiculous .
A dormitory on a parking lot near old main? On a plot
of land that isn't even a tenth of an acre in size?
Ridiculous.
But obviously Rep . Irving Stolberg and his buddies
cannot see the absurdity in suggestions such as these.
Maybe they can't, but you can. So write letters, start
a petition drive.
The facts are in our corner, use them to their best advantage. Your advantage. WestConn's advantage .
According to Business Week magazine , WestConn
should be preparing for a 60 percent enrollment increase .
Where do our opponents expect us to put all these
people ? Send them all to school in New Haven perhaps?
The western part of the state is growing, ancfwill continue to grow. All the ranting and raving of our oppo~
nents will not change that fact.
If WestConn is to serve the area by providing a good,
solid education , it has to have the room to accomodate
its students.
We're not asking for any more than any of the other
state colleges already have.
All we're asking for is our share .
So students of WestConn, don't stop now. It will be a
long hard fight , and we realize that, but in twenty years
wouldn't it be nice to send your children to the Westside
camp us you could only dream about?
Beer denounced
To the Editor :
The controversy that surrounds
the issue of the new campus has
been debated by our state
government for some time now.
Everyone has spoken in one way
or another, for or agai nst the new
WestConn. Everyone , that is, except the students . In a creative
move, therefore , the students
had the opportunity to speak and
visibly show their disappointment with the delay and possible
demise of the Westside Campus .
A -funeral for higher education
took place last Thursday at 11
a.m. All students were invited
and encouraged to participate in
this worthy event.
When we attended the House
Meeting where the funeral was
announce d and explained we
were in full support of the idea . It
was exciting to think of the
recognition WestConn students
would get - that their collective
voice would be heard , finally. But
our support was somehow
diminished when another announcement was made - that there
would be 15 kegs following the
ceremony.
We could only ask why? Wasn't
the issue worthwhile enough on
its own? Or did the organizers
feel that without the kegs , there
would , in fact , be no participation? If this is so, what does
that say about WestConn students?
It does seem sad that an issue ,
such as the new campus, cannot
stand on its own . That a
demonstration cannot take place
without that after thought those 15 kegs .

Exclusive Commentary:
Can we tolerate cults?
By Terry Bannister
When the managing board of
the '' Echo' ' requested me to
write a commentary on the
"Cults in Today's Society," I
decided immediately : jour nalistic deadlines are numbing,
and the subject is already
overexposed in the media since
the mass suicides / murders in
Jonestown, Guyana . However ,
later that day I read reports of
demands for the United States
Congress to investigate cults in
American society . I then decided
to write a brief statement of opinion.
Public knowledge about cults
comes in large part from
Hollywood versions of Satanic
worship and news reports of the
" brainwashing " of youthful
adherents to the unification
Church, or the Hare Krishnas, or
whatever . Public opinion has
recently grown against cults in
its revulsion to the events in
Jonestown , captioned on the
cover of Time as " The Cult of
Death. " It is in this context that
a government investigation into
cults is being sought.
Popularly , " cult" is thought to
be an exotic word denoting a
group with "abnorma l" religious
beliefs and behavior. Such a word
gives us comfort because it
clearly
removes
such undesirables far away from us.
This we/ they dichotomy keeps us
from the fact that " they" are
very much a part of "us."
Any religious group (say, "our
own") stresses a unity through
the sharing of beliefs and the
holding of common cherished
values . Avoiding sin, following
the rules and reversing the symbols of the sacred all serve to integra te and define a community
of believers . This very same
religious base \\;hich promotes
unity also divides . Religious
groups (with varying degrees of
subtlety to be sure) emphasize
separateness and superiority, as
evidenced by the words " infidel ," " heathen ," " heretic ,"
and " nonbeliever ."
Religion defines morality and
immorality , sin and virtue .
There are ideas strongly held
and for which, in face of interpretive conflict , groups will split
in order to avoid compromise .
There is much diversity of
religious ideas between and
within American
religious
groups. Sociologists have devised
a classification scheme with
which to bring some order to this
diversity . Very broadly ,
American religous groups may
be placed into the categories of
"c hurch " and " sect." As this Jerry Bannister , Assistant
typology suggests , the attributes Profes sor of Anthropology and
of each form a polarity .
Sociology.
Con Game?
The end... or
just tne 009innin9?
The church is considered
" established " by being generally
supportive of the larger , secular
society 's values and institutions.
The church contains and is
tolerant of varied ideas, and
scrip ture may be interpreted
metaphorically . The mem bership tends to be " socially successful " persons who were
guided to the church by their
parents .
The sect rejects the secular
society often by splintering away
from a church or another sect.
Their beliefs are authoritatively
defined, and there is emphasis
upon a spiritual , emotional adult
conversion . Sects are usually formed by a charismatic leader , but
in time tend through a growing
organizational frame-work, to
become churches. Generally, low
status persons and persons who
are alienated from a society they
see as " rootless " and
" meaningless ," are attracted to
the sect because religious status
is substituted for social status.
The point of all this is that
" cults " are not alien agents undermining " our" religious experienc es , The difference in
definition between " cult" and
" sect " is largely
one of
academic perspective . Ther
term " cult " is primarily
anthropological , usually used in
relation to preliterate societies . ·
Sociologists employ the term to
identify a less structured group
than the sect , for example , a
grouping like the " Jesus freaks ".
However, insofar as the media as
discussed " cults " (for example ,
the People 's Temple or the Hare
Krishnas), there is no significant
difference in the way " cult" is
used and in the meaning of
"sect. " Too often , "cult " is simply a derogatory label pinned
upon conventional sects whose
dogma (to the extent that it is understood) rests uneasily on the
public consciousness . This labeling is particularly
directed
toward religious groupswith nonChristian dogma , or unpopular
political ideolog y, or other
"heresi es."
The same processes which integrate and fragment " our ''
religious exper.iences also result
in the forming of unconventional
religious groups . Therefore, I see
the demands for a congressional
investigation of cults as being essentially an unconscious effort to
fix some sort of scapegoat for
American religious anxietie s.
The devil-enemy is not to be
found out there somewhere . " I
have met the enemy ," to quote
the immortal Pogo, "and he is
us."
To the Editor :
Providence may be around the
corner for WestConn if last
week's front page article can be
believed . Providence , Rhode
Island , that is !
It 's the same old con game we
went through last month .
Remember how the new campus
was handled? You'd think the
politicians would realize you
can 't play the same game twice
in one month without the victims
wising up to your scam .
This time the Board of Higher
Education is going to correct our
fire hazards-only one year after
they were discovered to exist.
But only on the condition that the
amount appropriated will cover
the costs . We've heard that
before! But the kicker-same as
last time. The money will turn
out to be inadequate . So, of
course, it will be back to the
drawing boards again. Net
result-the state again saves a
big capital outlay of funds . If the
drawing boards take long enough
maybe the cry for safe living and
working conditions will go away .
Evervone will fonzet .
Result-everyone
is off the
hook. Things will settle down. After all , no one is hurt , We all
tried . We all smell like roses.
The buck has been passed into
oblivion-again .
What the heck! Chances are no
one will ever have to yell
" Fire " ! And even if they do-we
won't be around . Let the next
group of bureaucrats handle that
eventuality
. Besid es, we
probably won't lose mor e than

and send personalized letters to each member. The group hopes to draft
changes in the copyright law and
to gain support for a bill from key
representatives and senators , as
well as to press for hearings on
the proposed changes.
Combining all three licensing
organizations, colleges pay 13
cents in fees, with BMI obtaining
five-and-a-half cents per fulltime equivalent
enrollment ,
ASCAP receives six cents, ·and
SESAC procures one-and-a-half
cents.
If a performer is to be paid
more than $1,000, a fee averaging
one cent per seat is levied by
BMI. ASCAP's license concerns
both ticket pr ices and seating
capacity with the average cost
also at one cent per seat.
College presidents , educational
associations
and other individuals will begin a large-scale
letter-writing campaign to all
members of Congress this fall .
This is expected to coincide with
meetings of the National Entertainment and Campus Activities
Association , the Association of
College Unions-International ,
American Council on Education ,
and the National Association of
College and University Business
Officers.

BMI sent letters to about 1,000
schools February 9 that ordered
them to " cease and desist from
any further use " of its music or
legal action would follow .
The NECAA claims that the
performing rights agencies are
"monopolistic" and that schools
are not able to control music it
uses . " When profit and non-profit
organizations are involved , the
profiting organizations should be
responsible for paying the fee, " a
spokesman for NECAA said .
The organization also hopes that
the law can be revised so colleges
will not be charged unnecessary
fees on music that has not been
used .
In past years, colleges were exem pt from copyright
laws
because the music 's cultural im portance was regarded higher
than the composer ' s roya lty
rights .
Alan Smith , vice president of
licensing for BMI, said in 1977
that " Copyrig ht law recognizes
that the creator has a certain
property right to what he or she
creates ". He compared
the
copyright law to laws protecting
writers
and their published
works . " A composer is entitled
to the same rights as an author ,"
Smith said .

" It 's going well this year,"
Selnick said, adding that " we 're
trying to get a good feeling for
the groups on campus. "
" The Dramatons have also
voiced interest in the Bloodmobile ,'" he said. The idea of
having a group of students dress
as Santa Claus and helpers , then
visit classrooms and ask students
to donate blood has been raised.
" We're looking for stude nts or

Representatives from the Red
Cross met with resident assistants from the dorms and the
Health Educators Association to
discuss donor registration and
ways in which students can be encouraged to give blood, he added.
" Resident assistants are working with the Red Cross," said
Assistant Director of Housing
Janice Rothman . " We're still in
the planning stages ," she added.
According to SAGA food service director Tom Casey, SAGA
will be supplying coffee, donuts ,

adding students are needed to
help with preparations for the
bloodmobile and with the operation of the program when the
bloodmobile arrives. According
to Selnick , it takes two or three
students per hour to help collect
blood once donations begin.
" We need students to help with
the actual setting up of the bloodmobile ," he said.
In reiteration of WestConn 's
commitment to encourage students to give blood, a meeting for
the purpose of ''prepari ng individuals with facts about the
bloodmobile ," was held last
week in the Norwalk Lounge of
the College Union , according to
Selnick.

Karel Husa, a Pulitzer Prize
winner in music , was the guest
conductor-co
mposer
in
WestConn's Arts Festival concert Friday evening in the Ives
Concert Hall.
H us a, who wa s born in
Czechoslovakia , has received international recognition for his
compositions. His "St ring Quartet No. 3" received the 1969Pulitzer Prize in musi c and the
" Music for Prague, 1968 has
"
been performe d over 4000times.
Husa has also conducted many
major orchestras , including
groups in Paris , London, Hamburg , Brussels,
Prague,
Stockholm, New York, Boston
and Syracuse . He ha s made
several recordings, the most
notable of which was the first
recording of contemporary composer Bela Bartok 's " Mirulous
Mandarin, " with an orchestra in
Paris.
The concert program featured
five of Husa 's compositions .
These were performed by the
New England Brass Works, the
WestConn Wind Ensemble , and
the WestConn Woodwind Quintet.
WestConn's Mario Bernardo , an
alto saxophonist , and Ronald
Prince , a pianist , also performed
one of Husa ' s com positions
together.
Sharp dissonance and the buildup of dynamic s were noticeable
in Husa's technically exhausting
compositions .

of the
American Association of Univer-
sity Professors and SGA advisor,
wrote wove words of optimism
into their speeches .
" The eyes of the· state are upon
you," Dr . Bersi told the crowd.
" My prediction is that we'll all
be out here in the very near
future resurrecting this coffin."
"For years we have suffered
inadequate dormitories, limited
classtooms and parking, still
with the hope that someday we
will have a new camp us," Dr .
Fisher said. "Now our critics .
want to take it away from us, after all studies have said that the
Westside campus is the way to
go...
"B ut we're still not dead, " he
continued . " The governor and
the Bpnd Commission
can
resurrect the victim. Let's hope
they do so in the near future ."
For many WestConn students
that near future , according to
Lubus, will include a campaign to
press the governor, the Board of
Higher Education and the Bond
Commi ssion into positivf action
on the classroom project.
Lubus plans petition drives , a
massive letter -writing effort ,
discussions
with area high
schools, as well as a debate ,
slated for last night , with the
most vocal critic of WestConn expansion , state Sen. Lawrence
DeNardis , R-34. He also hopes
for student attendance at today's
Board of Higher Education
meeting .
" We now have more than 2,000
voices involved," Lubus said last
Friday. "If this doesn't work, I
don't know what will. I think the
odds .1re in our favor ."
To the Editor :
As a resident of Eighth Ave., I
was witness to a large congregation of cars and people collecting
on the street in front of my house
this morning . As I understand it ,
the gathering was to be a symbolic funeral of " higher education." Amid all the laughter and
cheers and all those smiling
faces , I couldn't help but wonder
if it was possible that the
Western Connecticut
State
College students were glad that
their highly-priced new campus
was dead? Or is it possible that
the excitement and large turnout were because there were 15
kegs of beer at the end of the
line?
The purpose of this funeral I
was told, was to draw wide attention to the concern that the present students have for the
facilities of their college and to
show that they were serious in
their plea that they couldn 't
receive a proper education under
the present conditions . What the
funeral turned out to be seems to
be more of a big party , rather
than a mourning over · an impoverished education.
I also wonder if this event
couldn't have been held on a
Saturday or Sunday, or is it too
much to ask for a student to give
up some of his free time towards
this cause? Is the only way to
generate any participation on the
part of the student body the offer
of a free beer and a free day? It
would seem that the students
point would be better served if
they were willing to give
something of themselves for
what they believed, rather than
just receive. Perhaps though,
this is what is wrong with this
whole campus issue . It seems as
if facilities have taken priority
over education just as a mock
funeral has taken priority over
classes. The worst problem with
the old campus isn't run-down
buildings and crowded conditions , it is more a problem of
decaying motivations and misplaced goals . If pub nights and
beer parties are the only way to
bring some life into this campus,
then perhaps we s hould have a
funeral for higher education .
Glenn W. Johnson
Congratulations
To the Editor :
We really did it up last Thursday . There probably isn 't a
legislator or media person in the
whole state who is unaware of
WestConn's plight and the intensity of the students to get the expanding cam pus built . I am sure
that every one of the 1,500 students, admi nistration , faculty
and community members who attended our " living funeral " were
affected by the beauty of the Middie River site and became more
personally committed to our
goal.
The funeral itself was the
finest example of the student
body rallying to a cause that they
truly believe in that Connecticut
has ever seen . Most of our
faculty was outstanding in allowing students to pursue our aause
by rescheduling classes and joining in the numbers present there .
Our traditional
after-thefurieral informal celebration was
another tri bute to WestConn's
student body, and they deserved
it , since it's been the WestConn
student body who has taken the
brunt of the "symbolic death " of
our higher education for the past
12 years .
Ironically , it took a funeral to
get a "new" hope for us all, but
realistically WestConn is now united ·in large numbers with the
area
community
, loc a 1
legislators , the administration
and the governor to see the
ground-breaking happen at the
Westside site this May.
So congratulations to all, and
let's keep WestConn alive
forever .
Ray Lubus
Impressed
To the Editor :
Approximately 1,000 WestConn
students gathered together on
Thursday morning to bury the
Westside
Campus.
The
enthusiasm was overwhelming .
As a new; commuter student at
WestConn, I was very impressed
with the true spirit exemplified
by the students yesterday . It is a
good feeling when students can
work together as a unit fighting for their education and
the education of their children.
Perhaps everyone present at this
function felt this same sense of
belonging and concern . The
celebration which followed the
event took place on the grounds
of the hopeful campus . This
allowed students to converse and
to admire the beauty and the
potential of the land as a future
university . A few students even
brought their guitars . It was
truly a day that the college
should remember . All of the people present came together
because they care and realize the
impact that the death of the new
campus has on the future of
higher education .
Jean Gallagher
Thanks
To the Editor :
Never have I been so proud of
college students as I was this
past Thursday , the day of the
funeral for higher education in
western Connecticut.
Their
creativity , spirit , and commitment made me feel privileged to
be a part of the WestConn community. With all my heart , I
thank them for the good feeling
they imparted through their efforts .

Three cheers
To the Editor:
Three Cheers to the Student
Government Association and
those students at Western Connecticut State College who supported the SGA's mock funeral
for higher education in the
western part of the state which
was held on Thursday, March 8,
at the proposed site of the new
campus. In my ten years at
WestConn it is the best show of
student unity and enthusiasm
that I have witnessed. We can
only hope that the Governor and
the Bond Commissioners will not
ignore the interests of our 6,000
students when the bonding Committee meets in March.
Win or lose, no one can ever
say that WestConn students
didn 't do everything in their
power to protect the future of our
institution .

President, WCSC-AAUP
Community Wealth
No, Virginia, Hartford isn't the
wealthiest place in Connecticut,
Westport isn't either.
According to new figures on
property value and income of
residents, New Canaan replaces
Darien as the richest Connecticut
town. Waterbury ranks as the
poorest .
The figures , released in the
new state
Department
of
Revenue statistics, play a prominent role in the amount of school
aid doled out to the towns. Larger
Connecticut cities like Hartford
have dropped dramatically in
property wealth , which means
more school money will be channeled into them .

Handling Anxieties
by Lesl y Krosky
Biofeedback therapy can make
you awa re of the tension in your
body and te ach you self-control of
stress , Mrs. Ja net Ander hegen ,
biofeedback therap ist , told members of the Health Ed ucato r 's
club last Wednesda y.
Mrs. An d e rh ege n , wh o
descr ibed he r self as " st ill a
teac her at heart ,'' begins therapy
by teac hing people to be awa re of
the tension they are carryin g.
On the first visi t patients are
ta ken through a seri es of rel axa t ion e xercise t hat mon ito r
breathing and tig ht ening and
re laxing of muscl es, she said .
From this she can determine
where one " ca rri es" tension . A
lot of people carr y tension in
t heir eyes , Mrs . Anderh egen
sa id. The eye s fli cker when
closed because the person does
not relax . This ma y be bec ause
the person feel s vulnerable with
their eyes closed , she added .
" I teach patients to stay in the
pres ent where there is no anxiet y, " she said . The future and
past cr ea te anxiety ."
It is a myth that biofeedback
therapi sts can cure anything . It
is what you do for yourself .
" The media really did a num be r on us. That biofe edback
t herap y is going to cu re
everything is highly suspe ct ,"
Mrs. Anderhegen said .
Machines that monitor muscle
tension are used to make patients
awar e of their body systems so
they can modify them.
" The aim is to develop your
own awareness and feedback ,"
Mrs . Anderheg en said . You then
don ' t nee d ma chines or th e
therapist , she added.
She de fined feedba ck as
similar to a thermostat tha t
feeds information around in a
loop and adjus ts or modifies its
behavior as needed·.
Patie nts are referred by physicia ns, psychologists , or come in
on the ir own. Mrs. Anderhegen
said she requir es walk-ins to fill
out a medical hist ory. Biofeedback therap y is the only alternative for some doctor s , she added.
Tr ea tm ent usually consists of
six to eight sessions, she sa id.
The cost of her therap y is based
on a sliding scale, beginning at
$35 an hour for the fir st sess ion
~nd decreasing to nothing .
_
Pat ients must continue to pra ctice biofeedback for the rest of
their life, Mrs . Anderhegen said .
Some people stop and then lose
co ntrol ov e r their ten s ion
beca use they don't believe they
have control over it.
Mrs. Anderheg en added that
she likes to see patients three to
six months after the y stop
therapy to see how they are doing.

this until the fight 's over , one
way or the other ,'' Dr . Bersi

pay off. "

His or Hir
Still another episode of "How
the Language Changes" has been
suggested.
Remember in the early days of
the Seventies when you had to
learn to use Ms. rather than Mrs.
or Miss? Well, you haven 't seen
the last of such changes . In the
early Eighties, you may be
writing hir instead of his or her .
Hir. pronounced "here", is the
most recent attempt at " unisexual .. language.
Connecticut President
The U.S. may soon have its
first president from Connecticut.
At least that is what U.S.
Senator Lowell Weicker may be
hoping. Weicker, who gained
fame during the Watergate hear -
ings is expected to throw his hat
into the presidential ring in the
near future to announce his wish
to take over the Oval Office, going on the Republican ticket.
Eve, Then Adam
If you subscribe to the theory
that man is made in God's image,
then brace yourself. God is a
woman!
Using what they call the " Eve
principle," scientists say · that
nature has an almost overpowering tendency to want to make all
babies female. If it weren 't for a
molecule called the " ultim ate
determinant of maleness" added
to the embryo seve ral weeks after conception , all babies would
be girls.
"Nat ure 's program in differen tiating the embryo is to form Eve
first , Adam second," sai d Dr .
John Money of John Hopkins University. "It sort of makes the
Biblical
story of creation
backward . A female may have
been created first. "
Suspicious Water
Don't drink the water!
Ten of the 200 suspicious drinking water supply samples tested
by the state have been found to
contain organic chemicals that
could cause cancer
after
prolonged use.
The 10 wate1 suppliers, including firms in Norwalk and
Waterbury , have either discontinued using the water or mixed
in clean water to lower the
chemical concentration s to acceptaqble levels .
The testing project , started in
,
June 1977 is expected to take
another two yea rs to complete .

Best hoop year ,
but no pla yoffs
by Joe Bivona
WestConn's basketball team
finished the season with a fine 1610 record . a mark that broke the
all-time record for most wins in a
season by a Colonial squad .
The team had a first -year
coach in Jack Rhodes , and was
coming off a horendous 8-18
·season last year . So it was ,a surprise to everyone that they performed so well. Everyone that is,
except Coach Rhodes himself .
" I wasn't surprised by how
many wins we had, but by how
many games we won before
Christmas (7-1). I thought it
would take a few games for this
team to yell and to start playing
together ," said Coach Rhodes .
Many WestConn supporters
were talking about possible tournament play for the team. Their
record of 16-10was comparable
to that of most- teams receiving
tournament bids. However , when
the teams to play in this year's
NCAAtournament were selected
last week , WestConn's name was·
not on the list.
·
··we were disappointed at being excluded from the NCAAs,"
Rhodes said .
" I think a combination of
politics and the late season injuries to some key players had a
lot to do with it ," he explained .
" At the end of the season we had
players who were averaging a
combined total of 40 points a
game not suiting up! Missing all
these people had to be a key factor in why we didn't get a bid."
There were some obvious standout performers on this year's
team. Darryl Garrison was the
leading scorer , averaging 21.3
SPORTS ___
points a game . T.J . Calabrese
was the playmaki ng guard with 7
assists and 16points per game . Al
Silverman was the team's most
consistent player and top re bounder , averaging 12 rebounds and 17
points a game .
" We expected a lot from some
kids ," Rhodes comme n te d .
" Darryl Garrison, I knew would
score his points. From T.J .
Calabrese we expected a floor
leader and a setup man . When
T.J. dished off 10 to 12 assists a
game we won, or at least played
well. When T.J. had his rare offnight, it hurt the whole team offensively.
" Everybody had a role on this
team ," he continued . "Certain
players had certain roles . It was
a total team effort. Some
players ' contribution s to the
team will not be seen in the boxscore , but without their help we
couldn't have done some other
things."
Was Coach Rhodes surprised at
the ability of his players?
" Al Silverman was the biggest
surprise of the year! Nobody
thought Al could do all the things
he did," Rhodes said.
What goals can this team
achieve in the future ? How far
can this team go next season?
" If we don't make the tournament , I'll be very disappointed ,"
the coach said. "We showed a lot
of maturity
as the year
progressed . I really believe this
team has changed dramatically
since the season began . We can
go as far as we want to go. The
potential on this team is unlimited . The sky's the lim it!"

Darryl
Garrison
, T .J .
Calabrese , and Al Silverman of
the WestConn Colonials basketball team have been named to the
Central Atlantic Coast Conference All-Star team .
Garrison had a fine all-around
year for the Colonials. Although
he missed the final seven games
of the season because of knee
surgery, Garrfison led the team
in scoring with a 21.3 average,
was second in rebounds with 6.63
per game , and was second with
2.7 assists per game. The
freshman from Yonkers, N.Y.
has been nominated as the Connecticut Division III Offensive
Player of the Year by the New
Haven Tipoff Club.
Calabrese, one of WestConn's
top playmakers , led the team in
assists with 6.5 per game and was
third in scoring with a 16.3
average. He is a sophomore from
West Hartford, Conn.
Silverman, a sophomore from
New York City, led the Colonials
in field goal percentage at .522
and in rebounding with 11.3 per
game . He was second in scoring
with a 16.8 average .
WestConn ' s 16-10 - record
yielded a .615 winning percentage , the team 's best since 1959.
Coach Jack Rhodes expects the
entire team to return next
season.

Faculty Senate dissolves,

by Lesly Krosky
The faculty senate met last
Thursday and voted to accept Dr.
Frank. Dye' s amm ended motion
to dissolve the senate .
The present form of the senate
will function until the creation of
a new senate . Ele ctions for the
senate must be held before July

action and let the Grasso administration know the students'
displeasure with that move.
Funeral arrangements began
circulating on campus last Friday, urging people to take part in
the procession . Support and
enthusiasm for the funeral was
apparent shortly after students
learned of the event.
''The response in the dorms is
overwhelming," Lubus said. " It
seems like they (the students )
have been wanting to be involved
for a long time. Now's their
chance. "
He stressed however, that the
event is not an attack on the
'
governor.
"We're showing our strong disappointment as a community
from the western part · -of the
state with the hope that the situation will swing our way."
The funeral is supported by the
college 's admini st ration , who
view it as a student effort to
voice their displeasure with the
governor's action.
Lubus addres sed the faculty
senate at its meeting last Wednesday, asking for teachers support in the funeral. Following his
appeal , several students said that
some tests and classes for that
day had been rescheduled .
" We hope to gain statewide
recognition for the problems we
have here at WestConn," Capozzi
said.
" And we hope that the entire
student body will support this endeavor to show that we care
about the future of higher education at Western Connecticut ," he
added.

Love and death
Some things die hard.
Take Higber Education , for examp le . She put up a
tough fight in western Connecticut, but the odds were
stacked against her .
You could say she had a full, rich life here . Sevent.yfive beautiful years in Danbury - first at the normal
school, then at the teachers college and finally at
WestConn.
But those last few years really took their toll .
She first became sick in the 1960s - overcrowding
and poor facilities, the doctors said. They prescribed a
new campus, and the Legislature backed them up, approving construction funds that could get her back in
shape.
Things looked good for her in 1970- the physicians
had ordered a complete face and body lift and began
spending those approved funds to get her out of her
cramped quarters. They bought her a new home on
Danbury's westside in 1971,and in 1974built her a road
there, just to keep her spirits . up. Dr. Meskill took part
in a groundbreaking ceremony, but even then there
were symptoms of trouble .
That trouble hit in 1975.The State Deficit Disease attacked her in her most vulnerable place - the pocketbook. Chief of Staff Grasso, now in charge of the case,
ordered her to remain on White Street. And ever since
then , despite a few periods of remission, things went
downhill.
Oh, she did !get a few shots-in-the-arm - a dose of
Bond Commission money here artd there, and even
construction money for a classroom building last October . Dr . Grasso tried to pull her through, but she just
couldn't staµd up against those invading viruses.
And invade they did. One of the worst was the Creeping New Haven Delay Syndrome, characterized by
cries of dropping college enrollments and calls ' for
comprehensive reviews .
Another was the familiar Tie It Up In Bureaucracy
Blues , marked by lost work orders and very crossed
signals .
Consulting physicians
Bersi , Dyer , Baker ,
Walkovich, Osieki and countless others tried to help.
She was prescribed for, picked at, prodded and poked
until her case history filled a library. Her family at
WestConn watched politely, not wanting to step on the
sensitive toes of those who might find a cure. The
Bond Commission , they were told, the Bond Commission would find a way. ·
But before the commission could act, Higher Education died. February 15 the Westside campus was sent
back to the Board of Higher Education for .review.
Now what are we, her survivors, to do?
To start with, let u~ mourn. Let's show the state how
much we'll miss her, how much we cared about her.
Let's bring them here to see the conditions she had to
live in - overcrowded classrooms and dorms, traffic
jams, athletic facilities many high schools would turn
their noses up at.
Let 's have a funeral, and let 's have a good one - one
with sadness, with sympathy, but one with spirit.
For some things do die hard . But some things have
been known to rise again.

New Senators promise effort
,
by Jim Seri
Newly elected Student Government Association Senators have
pledged to make students aware
of the issues at WestConn and to
devote time and effort to the
SGA.
In an interview last week ,
Mary Lynch , elected by the
senior class, said she will participate as much as she can in the
SGA " to help benefit the
WestConn campus and to help
make students more aware of the
issues on campus ." She hopes for
" personal fulfillment to see how
the senate works."
Newly elected sophomore
senator Jim Norman said he will
work with Senator Marty Flynn
on the budget and that he will
assist the senate in studying
possible student fee increases .
He also pledged to work for the
proposed Westside campus by
visiting local high schools and
talking to seniors and juniors
who may enroll at WestConn.
Norman noted that a petition
will be sent to cities and towns
around the state " to show Gov.
Grasso that not only this area
wants better higher education."
He added that he wouici work
toward securing state funds to
repair
fire violations
at
WestConn. " Of the four state
colleges, WestConn's repairs will
have the greatest cost, " Norman
said.
Dawn Larson, recently elected
to the SGA as a freshman alternate , said that she would " express the views of the freshman
class as they pertain to the
freshman class." She added that
Need a Break
she would "give time and effort
to the SGA as a whole.'

ballots, last week submitted a
letter of resignation to SGA
president Ray Lubus.
She said that she was "honored
to have been elected as an SGA
senator ," but that to serve on the
senate in addition to her duties as
editor of this newspaper , may be
considered a "conflict of interest " by some people at
WestConn.
Also elected from the senior
class were Jan Jerus and Dave
Weber. Cathy Kogut and Patricia
Shaham were elected junior
class alternates. Joni Gomes was
elected assistant treasurer of the
SGA.
Statements from these SGA officers will be reported in the near

who heard Frank's first

"Weber doesn't need a

Students resigned to
Westside site stall
by John Kazzi
If the attitude of most students
toward the on-again off-again
Westside campus could be
described in one word, that word
might well be " resignation. "
Although virtually no student
at Westconn today was here
when the subject of a new
campus was first raised in 1968,
everyone has been exposed to the
events of these past three weeks.
It was just 19 days ago that the
governor 's office announced that
plans for construction of a
classroom
building on the
Westside campus were being
sent back to the Board of Higher
Education for review - a decision that shocked and dismayed
the WestConn and Danbury communities .
After seeing first-hand the
more unpleasant side of politics
and hearing accusations of
broken promises , many students
have resigned themselves to the
fact that a new campus is, in all
probability, a long way off.
Random samplings of opinions
around campus this week showed
widespread feelings of disappointment over the most recent
developments .
Interviews with 12 students in
the Inquiring Photo section of
this newspaper one week after
Gov. Grasso 's announcement
reflect meant another delay in
construction - if there is to be
construction at all .
Of the 12 students questioned ,
eight saw almost no chance of a
new campus being built , and
three believe a new campus is
still very much in the future .
SGA Judge Larry Selnick,
although responding negatively
to the events of the past three
weeks, provided an optimistic
note for the future.
"Because of what has happened, I think that the students
are going to create their own
direction , one that will make it
work for all of us," Selnick said.
He added that he believed the
new campus was the "universal
motivating factor " for the student population.
Selnick, "very disappointed"
by Gov. Grasso 's decision, pointed out that many students had
"worked with the system for so
long, lobbying and getting a little
more each time only to have the
system let us down."
The latest setback produced a
"very deep reaction - you could
amost touch the pessimism ," he
said . But according to Selnick,
the Westside· campus issue will
no longer create a " passive " student body.
Faculty Senate
Recommendation .
• Formation of Senate Committee on Deparfmental Curriculum
to determine who will be responsible for the addition/ deletion of
courses .
(Continued from Page 1)
said they have 30 days to voice
support before the bids expire.
Lubus said on Thursday at 11
a.m . there will be a mock funeral
for the future of higher education
at WestConn. There will be a
funeral procession to the burial
site at the proposed Westside
campus on Mill Plain Road ,
where several eulogies will be
given.
Lubus asked the professors to
either reschedule their classes or
excuse students so they can attend the funeral. Lubus also encouraged professors to attend.
The key is numbers, " Lubus
said. The SGA hopes the campaign will attract a lot of press,
including local television sta tions. This funeral will be a kickoff to other things the SGA plans
for the future of the new campus,
Lubus added.
Raymond L. Baubles, Jr.,
president of the faculty senate ,
said President Robert Bersi approved the Department Chairperson 's Proposal as the senate
passed and amended it.
The Promotion and Tenure
Committee
has met their
deadline and completed their
work, Baubles added.
" Five departments have not
filed bylaws with the senate ,"
Baubles said . He asked them to
file one copy with him and three
copies with Dr . Dye as soon as
they are rea dy.
At the Sept . 20, 1978 meeting
the senate passed the amended
Varsity
Pol icy Commi ttee
bylaws. The senate then sent a
recommendation to Dr. Bersi
that the va r sit y comm it tee
report di rectly to an a dministrative per son, 'Baubles
said, adding that Dr. Bersi is
waiting for senate acti on.
The senate car ried a motion
that the senate reaffirm its
amendme nts to the varsity Committee Policy Document of Sept.
28, 1978 Baubles said the senate
.
would now resubmit the original
proposal to Dr. Bersi .
The senate also delayed decisions on the following issues until
the next meeting on Wednesday,
March 28:
• Review of Committee Bylaws
because members of the committee were absent .
• Discussion of a motion entered by Dr . Braun concerning
the division of the business administration department into two
separate departments .
• Library Policy Committee

and such breaking down because
they receive a high volume of
use. Library statistics show an '
average of 1,500individuals using
the library each day, or 10,500
per week, more than twice the
total student enrollment at the
college.
According to unoffi cial estimates , 4,962 full and part-time
students are currently enrolled
at WestConn. The number of students who use the library each
day is recorded by the security
machine locate d at the entrance
to the library , Blaisdell said.
Last week a third copying
machine was installed on the
first floor of the library to " take
the load off of the other two
presently in use," Blaisdell said ,
adding that all three machines
are available for use by students
and faculty .
Blaisdell said that in previous
years faculty had use of the copying machines apart from that of
the students .
" This is no longer true ," he
said. He added that no distinction
is made among individuals who
use the copying machines .
However, faculty are entitled to
use the copying machines under
the terms of the AAUP contract
ratified last year, Blaisdell added.
According to the contract ,
" Duplication of instructional
materials and professional work
directly r_lated to college ace
tivities shall be free of charge
and readily accessible , including
adequate copying mach ine services for faculty and support service use."
The new machine, an IBM-II,
uses a roll of paper to make
copies, Blaisdell said . The other
two copying machines use reams
of paper .
Blaisdell noted that a log of
faculty member s' names who use
the copying machines is kept at
the librar y, but as far as distinguishing who has used what
machine, " It can't be done," he
said.
Whenasked if the Ruth A. Haas
Library would be retained as a
library if and when the Westside
Campus is constructed , Blaisdell
said that the library would be
retained as such at is present
site.
" Eventually , if the new
campus is constructed , this
library can be used for other purposes," he said, adding that it
would retain its function as a

Alcoholics Hurt
It is hardly a new observation
to say that alcoholism severely
hurts not only those afflicted
with the disease , but . th,ose
around them as well.
But were you aware of the extent that others are affected? Recent statistics indicate that for
every alcoholic there are at least
five people close to him who are
strongly affected .
The strain of an alcoholic's
wife, for example , may be so
great that she could develop a
dual personality - functioning in
the external realm but so ineffec·tual within her own household
that she may take to her bed in
depression .
The Ten Suggestions
The Washington Post reported
that the Ten Commandments are
outdated and have been rewritten.
No, Woodward and Bernstein
weren ' t assigned to rewrite
them , but a religious organization known as the Davis
Memorial Unitarian Institute
did, and now the famous laws of
God handed down to Moses centuries ago are called the " Ten
Suggestions for the Human
Race.''
The organization , which is
r epo r ted
to
